I told the guy to fuck off in a Walgreens parking lot today, and I'm feeling really bad about it. But I the more I think about it The more I'm not sure. Like I did overreact. Good morning, everybody. It's the Bartwinkler Show.
I don't know what happened. We're going to talk to Ryan Horbach coming up. He's doing with me the over-unders for the NFC.
So a comprehensive guide. To what we like in the NFC. We will go through all the teams. It will allow us to give some thoughts on these teams. Especially the Packers, of course.
And along the way, we'll give the over-unders.
So we'll do NFC. On today's episode. Also, we're going to talk AFC over-unders. That'll be a part of next week. At some point.
Maybe Monday, but at some point we'll air that. I got a busy week coming up. I got shows on CBS Sports Radio Friday night. Um Sunday. All next week on Bill Ryder's show.
Plus, then I'm going to be at SummerFest a couple of days for. Milwaukee Pro Soccer, so This is going to be like the most. I basically didn't work from. the middle of May to the middle of June.
So, this is needed. This is going to be a big. Big month coming up for me. If I was at Walgreens. And I got in my car and I was going out and I I thought it was pretty clear, like, which way I was going.
Because there's an entrance and an exit.
Now there's a second exit, but that's like... I wasn't going to go that way. And I think it was pretty clear that my car was turning.
Some guy. Who kind of looked like my dad.
So maybe that's why I feel bad. But he like stood right in front of me and stopped. And I don't know if he's being playful about it or not, but he's like, which way are you going? Because I didn't have my blinker on. I did my blink around in the parking lot.
You know, in the parking lot, Do you do your blinker at every single tick? I don't even stop at the stop signs in these parking lots. half the time. I mean, I look, see if anyone's there, and keep going. I was once told that if you see white trim around a stop sign.
It's optional. And so then I was doing that for like a afternoon. And then I realized, oh shit, every stop sign has that. I'm going to die.
Somebody Somebody pranked me. once.
So good prank, but don't let it get executed. But then the guy he and he was like I couldn't move because he was I felt he was in the way to make his point. that I didn't have my blinker on.
So then I got very frustrated. And I've done a better job. Like, I get angry on the podcast, I get angry on Twitter, but I used to be. My nickname was Rage Obot. In high school, I used to rage.
All the time. Oh, Bart's having a Reijo. moment And you used to be really bad. And then I was a soccer referee, and basically, I didn't think I did a good job unless I raged at someone. It was a mess.
But so this guy, so then I'm like, what are you doing? And I roll down my window and he's blinker, blinker. And I say, Jesus Christ, fuck you. And I drove away. And there was something in me.
And I think I felt really bad about it. And I like ran home. I was like, honey, I did something wrong. And she's like, oh, she died, like, ran over a dog or something the way that I was freaking out about it. But I had this moment.
This is what bothers me. I'm going to see that guy again. Maybe it's because it was a Walgreens very close to my house. Maybe that's why I'm But I know that is not my last encounter with that guy. Either I'm going to, and it's going to be a bad, like it's going to, that, that instance is going to cost me something someday.
Either I'm going to apply for a job or. My son's gonna whatever, and that's his teacher.
So, something's gonna screw me in the future, or that guy's a part of a board, or he's a part of a thing. And somehow I know. I'll look back at that and say. I got fucked. Because I did, I just know it.
Just know it.
So, my excuse is: if anybody's heard a story of a guy getting yelled at in a You know, Walgreens. Please connect me with this guy. What I'm going to do is tell him. that I was doing like I'm trying to do more YouTube shorts. And I was trying to prank them.
And I was doing like a like when people take their like take a shake and throw it in a drive-thru. Like it's awful behavior. But that's what I'm going to say that I was doing. I was like, oh, sir, I'm sorry. I meant to turn around and track you down, but then I got stuck at a light.
I was doing it for a video. I'm so sorry.
So that's my best working excuse. Right now.
So that happened at a Walgreens. And I feel bad about it. And uh I was just gonna promote something here, but it's like. Don't promote my product after. You just told that story.
But then I'm thinking in my head, it's a great time to talk.
Sorry, guys. They're like, don't be us, don't be us. Happy place. See, I need to relax. I need to chill out.
I need to calm down. I need to not live life so. uh irrationally Get a gummy at night. Helps you sleep, relax. You know, maybe, maybe slowly but surely start to chip away.
That's some of the uh Anger that's buried deep in me. Maybe little CBD cells will attack it. I don't quite know the science on that, but happyplacehemp.com, promo code is BART. 25% off every order. Happy PlayShemp.com.
What Chris said the other day about the He got a sunburn and He put some of the CBD cream on it. Helped him out, didn't like. peel or anything. I I just brought that up with my brother. Uh, one of my brothers is like complete red.
Like tomato red. You know, we got these pale Irish faces that. we go out in the sun for a half hour. And we are we are catch up.
So I'm going to try to get him some of that cream. To help him out. Happyplayshemp.com promo code is Bart. 25% off. Your order.
I was hoping to, I'm taping this around nine o'clock. on uh Wednesday night. And I was purposely waiting a little bit. And I'm sure something will happen after I'm done. I'll freak out about it.
Just like we talked about. Winker not hitting a home run. And I publish the podcast, and then Winker hits a home run, and the Brewers win. Like some are saying, it's the most fun game of the season. I'm like, man, do I have to re-edit that?
And then and then I did, and then they lost. Again, we'll talk about that in a second, but I don't like if Middleton opts in or opts out. I guess if Middleton gets traded. I'll do something. I'll cut him.
But I don't see that happening as of this moment. And either way, we're going to talk about it. Thursday night. on the NBA draft post game. And really, I don't know when the NBA draft's going to be done.
But what I'm gonna do is, as soon as I get back from the forward Madison game. I'm going to start a show. And I would think that would be around by the time the game's over. I get in my car, limp to my car with my PF syndrome. Uh get home.
Sit down. I'm thinking somewhere between 10.30 and 10.45. And so I would love it if you're up. you know, pop in a little bit. Otherwise, I'll just roll through.
Some other stuff, and if you do want to leave voicemails. After the Bucs do something or nothing. That will be helpful that I could use on the show too.
So I'm not recording. Thursday's show. Until after the draft. I will do it live. It would be great if you guys are up and about and doing whatever, but that's.
When I'll be doing it on Thursday, that is thanks to our friends at Dan Shaney Insurance. which I could call if I get so angry in my car and then run into a light pole. Danshaney.com. He'll help you out. He sponsors all of our YouTube videos and all of our video streaming.
A lot of you guys have given him a call already. Might be time if I've been talking about him a little bit.
So if you're like, oh, who's that guy? Who's that guy? I do this a lot with stuff. I still have a friend I have to text back from three weeks ago. But might be the time to say, all right.
Barsman talking about him. Let's get that call in today. Danshaney.com, S-C-H-A-N-I.com. on the uh website. Phone number.
there and email and contact and the story and And my guys at SunAnd Interactive. Also, I'd like to talk real quick about HelloFresh. Nah, I'm kidding. I am kidding on that part. What did I try once?
Oh, I tried blue apron. I did do a thing with a blue apron. Blue Apron was good. It took a long t I don't know. I feel like it takes a long time to make.
Because they come with like all these steps.
Now, if if Blue Wire hooks up with Blue Apron. I'll say, oh, it's the easiest thing in the world, step-by-step process. But I do remember Me spending an awful lot of time in the kitchen. And then eating the food. There was one thing with Korean radishes, I think.
Ruin the whole. Oh, and they always made you dip everything like in the vinegar. Maybe that was the problem. Anyway, promo code BART. If you're ever in a jam, use promo code BART.
I don't know if it still works. I think it still works at SeatGeek from like 30 years ago. Where was I? Oh, I want to play some voicemails. Uh I'll get to some at the end of the show.
But I did want to get Jakes in here. Hot take Jake. Again, the Carl's Place voicemail line 402-915-BART, 402-915-2278. This is from Hot Take Jake. There's a lot.
Party, party, party. What's going on, my man? Listening to Wednesday show. And first things first, good luck, man. Do you want to lose some of that weight?
You want to grab some. Those LGs, you know where to find me. I've been on you. Said a long time ago: content is king. You need some content.
Come see me. You know, we'll film it. Me destroying doing some workouts there. It'll be good for the content, just for the YouTube channel.
So come and see me. If Rami can do it, you sure as shit, channel. Second thing, my guy Grant. If I could quote me and girls a couple times. Number one, why are you so obsessed with me?
And number two, you can't sit with us. Every time you're on a show, I feel like my name for some reason just pops into your mouth. And look, mom, I'm a little bit flattered, but if you want me to be on the show, all you got to do is add, I'm the people's champ, so I get it. Anyways, NBA draft is tomorrow. I got zero faith in John Horse.
I feel like the guy is falling backwards into an NBA championship. And we're just kind of, everything's catching up now. I'd love to see you. About to do something significant, maybe get a pick, maybe make a big move. But if I have to trust John freaking horse to make that move, yeah, I don't know.
Things are looking pretty bleak. Anyways, hopefully get to talk to you on the live show after the draft, and I'll give you the hard sell a little bit more. Thanks, buddy. All right. Live draft.
Yes, coming up. I I the The Bucks, I'm going to cherry pick. And pick on two people right now. I'm going to pick on my guy Rich on Twitter. And my guy Joey.
Joey says, The Bucks should no longer be the favorites for anything. This team and this franchise is handcuffed, and we, as fans, are screwed. Rich says, I've gotten to live some of the best times in Bucks' history. I'm forever grateful. I'm finally making peace with the fact that it's finally over.
Anything amazing beyond the championship is playing with house money. The NBA was never going to let a dynasty grow here. Jake, I think I did see one of his tweets where he mentioned Bucks fans cannot handle offseasons, and we cannot. We cannot. Because it seems like there's all these things that happen around us.
Nothing happens to us or for us. Christophe Przingis apparently going to Boston has a lot of people. on edge. And that does make Boston, I mean, that's a massive get for them. That is big.
And I think that will put them to be the favorites. Unless the bucks do something. or or whatever, but that is that is big. And I'm not going to say it's not. But I'm also not going to...
Give up on the season. Before the draft even starts.
So I I don't know. I I think it's Interesting the way that we react. to these off seasons. Mention the Brewers. They lose five to one.
Julio Tehran. The guy is our ace, a 153 ERA. I mean, is he. Is he our best pitcher? And here's something we can talk about more.
In depth. Should the Brewers trade them? Like this is a classic case of If this was a fantasy team and I picked up a guy, like if I picked this guy up and he was doing this, I would be looking to trade him so fast. I'd say, all right, there's enough of a sample size that you could think it can happen the whole season. But also, this isn't gonna happen the whole season.
Brews are a game and a half out of the central, two games over 500. It's certainly not the end of anything. I think a lot of us, even though the trade deadline is still more than a month away, we keep thinking about it. We keep wondering what's the best interest for this team. And maybe if you took a reclamation project in Tehran, you do look to trade him.
Right now, I'm on the train of compete in 2023. and use these guys to compete with in 2024. I haven't gotten off of that yet. I'm still on their train.
So I would ride out Tehran until we see what happens. But We'll see. Brewers did take a lead. Tapia hit a home run. And then the Diamondbacks scored five.
So, in this series, Brewers get waxed on Monday. They do win game two. Very exciting. Seven to five on Tuesday. And then they lose on Wednesday.
All right, coming up, Ryan Horvat and I will go through NFC over unders. And then I've got some more voicemails to play. And some real quick non-spoilery thoughts. On the new Marvel show, Secret Invasion. for basically just for Q.

You need indeed. Let's start with the Green Bay Packers. Again, Ryan Horva, what a guy. Hey Harvey. Hey, what's up?
Long time, no talk. Actually, I haven't been on the podcast. I've watched a couple of the episodes, though. I was on vacation. Oh, great.
Yeah, I caught a couple of them. Hey, so you're the one. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. How about those brewers though? It doesn't matter when I run this.
They suck. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no. Like, I don't. I actually haven't watched a baseball game in like three weeks.
I don't even watch my own team. They stink, too. The entire division stinks. I don't care. We could air this in a month.
I'm kind of rooting for the Reds or the Pirates, like not even my own team, to be honest with you. Oh yeah, I got Pittsburgh fever. Why not? As long as the Cardinals continue to be a disaster and Contreras continues to suck, Win-win.
Well, around here, everyone thinks that the Brewers are like Going to do exactly what frames is always always talking about a reverse boycott to save the Brewers. It's like They're not going anywhere.
Well, you never know. I never thought that the A's would go to Las Vegas, you know? That kind of, hey, I like the, I like you defending the A's, though, because growing up, man. I actually I kind of like those Ace teams. Like, I love Barry Zito.
I love that whole rotation. I thought for Oakland, they lost the Raiders. The Warriors left, that counts. Yeah. They went across the bay.
Right, exactly. Oakland's not, no matter what.
Some people think Oakland is not San Francisco. No, no. It's not like people think it's like St. Paul and Minneapolis. It's not.
No, not at all. Like, there's a completely different ecosystem. Yeah, it's sad to see, man. It's sad to see. But I'll say this, though.
I mean, I am excited for. Another excuse to go to Las Vegas. I mean, I'm going to have to go to a couple of those games, obviously. Oh, yeah. They need like slot machines in the chair seats.
Mm-hmm. That's what they need. Or like betting. All right. So I want to look at over.
Under's win totals. And we can start with the Packers because we did. Win lost them. Actually, I believe that was my most. Listen to podcasts in all of May.
Um Doing win-lossing the Packers with you.
So. Thank you. Oh, yeah. Packer content's king. I can talk to whoever.
I can talk to, you know, I can like work hard. I can. All I gotta do is be like. Hey Nagler, what's your Mount Rushmore? Fucking that was the one I watched.
I thought that that was really good. I like you guys. I like when you guys are together. I do. Oh, I I like negs too.
I we had a falling out 'cause Our station was cheap and we Didn't even okay. But I blamed him, and that was wrong. That kind of was wrong. I was wrong, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. All right, so. We're going to the Packers. Vegas has them. I think it's been pretty steady at seven and a half.
Mm-hmm. I think that Well, I think Jordan Love is going to be okay. I just, I don't like when there's the, but you don't know. It's there's all these quarterback tiers with their little heads, and love's always in the last one. But nobody knows.
So I would think that And what I said on the score the last time that I was on that wonderful station. Yeah, um, and I came up with this on the spot, and I'm sure it's been said. But all these other franchises. Try to microwave their quarterbacks. Like, you be good, you be good, go.
The Packers put it in the oven. You know, let it cook, get the insides, check the temperature, and then when it's ready, it comes out. I just can't think that the Packers are going to go into 2024.
Well, I guess that's next year. 2023. Like knowing that love like if the if the Packers knew love sucked They would not. They won't do this. That's what I think.
So I'm going to say over. Seven and a half.
Now will it maybe just be eight? That's part of the game. But I will take over for the Packers. Yeah, like, you know, I look at the schedule. And It doesn't even really have anything to do with Jordan Love.
I wouldn't actually bet the Packers over seven and a half wins. Just because the defense really let us down last year. Um but I do think still there's way too much there's there's way too much talent. You know, if they're able to stay healthy, man, like. You know, if they get Rashawn Gary back, for example, you know, you still have Aaron Jones, you still have A.J.
Dillon. I do like the wide receiver room a lot. I like the wide receiver room. a lot more this year with Reed than the corpse of Sammy Watkins. But what's interesting is You know, like if you look at the different markets, because I have everything up right now.
The Packers over seven and a half wins. They're actually taking some money to go over the win total. A lot of them slightly juiced minus 115. There is a book out there right now that has it plus 100.
So I would shop around if you do want to bet them because you're getting a better price. You're not laying, you know, a buck fifteen. I would rather get some plus money there. But I'm with you. I would lean eight, nine wins.
Because the NFC North Dumpster fire. You know, the reports out of Chicago, Justin Fields doesn't look good. Chase Claypool, they're disappointed with. on and off the field. And they gave up way too much for Chase Claypool.
So glad that Green Bay didn't, to be honest with you. I would lean over, but I wouldn't bet over.
So I'm with you. I'd go over. I think Jordan Love will be all right as well. I don't think he'll be Aaron Rodgers or Brett Favre, unfortunately, but I think he'll be a good NFL quarterback. I think it'll take some time.
I think there'll be some growing pains, just like there were for Rodgers. Not as many, hopefully, as Favre had. But I worry still about the defense, man. Like, let's see what the defense looks like. But yeah, I would lean over on Green Bay as well.
On the YouTube stream, look at when we're going to talk about a team, I'm going to put what it is. Oh, yeah, I like that. On the Dan Shaney YouTube stream.
So on YouTube, it says Packers over under seven and a half.
So that if people are scrolling through, they can see. when we're talking about their team. Here's the thing, man. I want to believe everybody thinks I'm just this big Jordan Love hater. I'm not.
Like, I could love Aaron Rodgers and still like Jordan Love and root for Jordan Love. Again, like, I hate that I have to even defend this. I didn't like the Jordan Love pick just because let's say even I hated Rogers man. They weren't getting away from him because he still had what three years left on that deal. They had just extended them.
And I didn't think he was washed. I thought it was year one and two years ago. That was the problem. Extending him was the problem. Right.
Well, year one under LaFleur, I think that was the like that was the most we've seen from the LaFleur offense, you know, where Rodgers wore the wrist ones. And then I think that summer, that offseason, there was a meeting of the mines, and it was like half Rodgers offense, half LaFleur offense with the pre-snap motion. Then last year, Like that was the Rodgers Offense. That's what scares me a little bit about the Jets, man. It's like Rodgers has full control there.
There's a reason why Hackett continues to find work because he's Aaron Rodgers' gopher. He's the Jack Haley to Aaron Rodgers, Dennis Rodman. But yeah, way too much time spent on the Packers. But I want to believe.
So, I mean, you know we don't know what we don't know what any of these teams in the division are and the lions are getting way too much hype so Go.
Well, just to finish on the Packers. Um The exact wind totals. I got this from our guy, Jimmy Shapiro. The exact totals for I don't know. That's always good emails.
Yeah. The exact win totals. It's plus 550. that the Packers win seven games. It is plus six hundred that they win six games.
Or eight games. It is plus 650 that they win nine games. Plus 700 that they win five games. and plus 800 that they win 10 games. If you think the Packers are going to not win a game.
You can get 70 to 1 odds on that. If you think they will go undefeated. You can get 300 to 1 odds. on that. I would take, I would actually take exactly seven wins.
I think seven wins.
Sounds about right, man. It's five times the value.
So bet 100 win 550. I could see them losing some games where Jordan Love throws like a bad interception. I could see them losing some games where Jordan Love just lights it up, but the defense does what they've like. That's the other thing, man. Like, You know what I mean?
Rogers had some years where. You know, they had to win to get in and barely got even won the NFC North with 10-11 wins. Because the defense always stinks. That's why I always have to defend Aaron Rodgers. I think the most overrated thing, really, I hate that I have to do this, but really quick, I never complain or bitch about the wide receivers or the offensive talent that Rodgers played with.
All those guys were great, you know, from Greg Jennings and Donald Driver all the way down to Jordi Devontae. You know, Christian Watson was really good the last eight weeks of the season. My problem was always the defensive side of the ball. Like, you can't, like, yeah, Brady's better than Rodgers. You know, historically with the rings, but Brady also always had a top 10 scoring defense every Super Bowl year.
Rodgers had that once, he won a ring. It's so hard for quarterbacks. You know, Peyton Manning in Indianapolis would always lose to Brady. Yeah. Peyton Manning was a better quarterback than Tom Brady.
Yes or no? What do you think on that? Uh Tom Brady, Tom Brady never did anything. That I never saw before. Except Win out of his ass.
I mean, the year he had. He writes. I mean, with Peyton Matt, the thing with like With Tom Brady He dinked and dunked his way to an NFL seventh. You know, I say he dinked and dunked, but he did. Here's the thing, right?
Like, Tom Brady had one year where he threw to Randy Moss a shitload. He's just like, I chuck it. But other than that, what do you think of with Tom Brady? I think of. 11 yards to Edelman.
And eight yards to Deion Branch, and James White for 15 on a screen. That's right. That's Tom Brady. But he was the best at it. Right.
And the great thing about him was. He took what's given to him. He's not Rodgers, like, hey, you know, here's a guy right across the middle, but he's got to find his, you know, he's chucking balls to Devontae.
So he took what was given to him. And I feel like the difference between Brady And Peyton Manning was like, Peyton Manning lived for football. You know what I mean? Like, that was, he couldn't beat Florida. Like, remember, the Tennessee fans hated him for a while, didn't hate him, but like, They thought he was a choke artist because he could never beat Florida when he was there.
And then in the NFL, you know, like Sparky is always, Sparky, like when we do the podcast, always calls him a choke artist. And I'm like, okay. Like he's one of a lot. Yeah, Peyton Manning. But, like, I think the thing was, man, he would overstudy.
I mean, he was a genius, you know, at calling his own plays and, you know, audibles and. Changing things at the line of scrimmage, reading a defense. I don't think there's anybody better than Peyton. You know, same thing with Aaron Rodgers, but I think the difference is Brady's always been playing with house money. Like he, we thought maybe he was going to be a minor league catcher.
He was splitting time with Drew Henson, we have to remember at Michigan, goes in, you know, the seventh round or whatever the fuck. You know, we've all seen the Combine videos. He's just been playing with house money his entire career, and he's just a cool ass dude where he's at the end of these games, like, you know, like early on in his career, whatever. And he got those rings because they kicked field goals and they had good defenses. And then You know, he just had this crazy confidence.
Whereas, like, Peyton, You know, like one thing goes wrong and he would fall apart. You know, Roger's like the same thing. I think that's always been the difference. Like, that's that's what Joe Burrow reminds me of right now, you know, and that's why he always wins. He's just like cool, calm, collect.
Or, like, some of these guys, like, you watch Dapp. Carr would throw a pick and he'd forget about it by the time he was off the field.
Well, the problem was, though, then he'd go out and throw another one and another one because he'd be like, oh, I'll get him the next time. But yeah, I thought that was always the difference. Brady was and Joe Montana, you know, Tom Brady, they were just like cool-ass dudes, calm under pressure.
Some guys they can't handle the pressure. I don't know that that's Rodgers, though, though. I'm, yeah, you know, the last couple years it was.
So, I'm going to go over on the Packers. Over on the Packers, yeah. You like them at seven wins? I kind of like that price. I think that's a good bet.
I mean, I wouldn't bet that though. See, I'm not, every year I bet the Packers win the Super Bowl. I'm not going to do that this year for the first time ever in my life. But I'm not going to be rooting against them. I'm rooting for my Packers Jets Super Bowl.
And then it ends in a tie because aliens blow up the world. That'd be good. The Chicago Bears come in also at seven and a half and I mean, if you just look at the schedule, now a lot of this is going to depend on Justin Fields, too. I one lost their schedule with a guy, and all of a sudden I was at 10 wins for the Bears. I think Bears over, under seven and a half.
I think the over. is the lack of the year. On the bears? No bears. Yeah, man.
I bet that schedule is dog shit. The rest of this division is bad. Yeah, I like the Bears over seven and a half. I'm going to play that today. Yeah, I played them Ah, to win the NFC North.
The price was ridiculous. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So but Okay, when I did that though I was higher on Justin Fields than a lot of people, like a lot of Pac-Man. The Bears fans think he's the you know, some of them think he's like the next coming of Christ, but like Yeah. The reports are bad. Which, to be fair, he could be. I mean, we don't the next coming, we don't know.
The reports are bad, but old school, I don't really care. Like when guys are in shorts and half pads. Because, like, we overreact to crap every single season, and I'm not there, you know.
So, I'm sure, like, Adam Hogan, those guys, I mean, they're there every day, I respect their. What they're seeing, but I mean, I remember hearing that Jamar Chase couldn't catch an NFL football. You know what I mean? Like, we always do this crap when they put on the pads. I know Justin, I know Justin Fields is a good football player.
I just don't know that he's a good quarterback, but I'm with you, man. I think the defense will be better. I really like the pickups that they made in the offseason. I don't like Chase Claypool. Maybe they end up moving him, but I like Mooney enough if he doesn't have to be your number one, right?
Um, so yeah, I'm with you. I'd go over on the Bears. Hate to say it. Feel like a traitor, but yeah. I feel like with everything that's coming out and all the moves that they're doing.
Vikings over under eight and a half. That that's gotta how's that not dropped yet? I bet under. They are rebuilding. They are rebuilding.
Yeah, whatever, you know, nobody likes to say that word anymore, but. They are rebuilding Although they have Kirk Cousins, so they're doing What if the Packers were like. The team they have now and Aaron Rodgers. Like everybody's super young. But then you still have the quarterback.
The problem is the Vikings are going to rebuild. all around Kirk and then Kirk's not going to be there. And then they're going to have to decide: well, do we bring in a quarterback? Like Rogers? Or do we draft the guy?
I mean, what do you do? I don't It just they they It's just weird. It's weird that The Vikings, this division should be theirs. Yeah. But now they're cutting and trading guys.
And I think what they're looking at is: okay, we might win the division. We're not going to the Super Bowl.
So If all you other teams, the problem is this division in a couple of years, like it stinks, it could be really good. If the Vikings figure it out and find a guy, if Justin Fields is the guy, if Jordan Love's the guy.
Well, it could be the best this division's been in since we gone since we gone down to the north. since we were no longer the Central. Yeah, dude. But for this year. I mean, the Vikings, they're not.
Eight and a half seems like The tie. With everything that's happened. They have Dean Lowry starting for them. Yeah, so I mean, like. I look at the defensive side of the ball.
They're starting Andrew Booth this year. Harrison Smith's still there. Evans is their other corner. Byron Murphy. Yeah, I mean.
If I'm a Vikings fan, I kinda just want to rip the band-aid off. I would, I mean, I don't know that you could get anything for Kirk Cousins. This is Kirk's last year in Minnesota.
Well, I still think Kirk for Trey Lance is a trade that benefits both sides. They do have Jordan Madison. No, I think what you do, man, if I'm a Viking kid. Purdy's going to suck, okay? Yeah, I'm with you.
I think I want Sam Darnold to win that job more than I want Air. You know, like, I need Sam Darnold to win that job and win like 14 games, man, and just prove how terrible. Adam Gase and all those douchebags that they can. I like Sam Darnold. He's he's been through so much shit, you know?
I mean. Who knows? I think I like him more than Brock Purdy. And I know that I like him more than Trey Lance. I don't think Trey Lance is any good.
Um But if I'm Minnesota, I just want to blow. Like if I'm any of these teams, I just want to blow because next year, if you need a quarterback, is the year to get a quarterback because Caleb Williams is going to be awesome. And Drake May is going to be awesome. And then there's a couple other guys. I don't know like what Pratt is, and you know, but somebody else will emerge.
Um, maybe Tyler Van Dyke bounces back from Miami. T V D. I want, yeah, TVD. I would want, I'd want to blow this year. I'd want to suck really bad.
I'm going under on the Vikings. The defense sucks. They got worse. I do like Jordan Addison. Um I love, you know, Jefferson, but I don't think that's enough.
So, under on the Vikings. You want to blow this year, you want to suck really bad. Yeah. Your words. Yeah, I want to Yeah.
Lions are over under nine and a half. Yeah, that's too many wins. The problem is, it's my favorite stat. The uh Buccaneers have won this division more recently than the Lions. Yeah.
Like, this could not be presented better for Detroit. Mm-hmm. But nobody who's going to give them a benefit. Like Detroit, all they need to do for the league. Is just be good on Thanksgiving.
So. We don't have to like kick them off of Thanksgiving. That's all they need to do. Can they take on the pressure? Because now there's going to be a little pressure.
There's going to be expectations. Yeah. So they ain't winning nine and a half games. Yeah, I definitely couldn't. But who's winning this division?
The Bears. The Packers. With what, seven wheels? The Lions may win this division with nine wins. I couldn't go over nine and a half.
They should win 10-11 games. I mean, you look at the final eight weeks of the season. You know, the DVOA numbers, all the nerd stats. They were one of the best, if not the second or third best team in the NFC. I just I can't I need to s I can't put my money in Jared Goff.
Dan Campbell. Jerry John went to the Super Bowl, scored three points. Really, anybody on that defense other than Hutchinson. I couldn't do it, man. I'm going to go under on the Lions.
I think they're going to let everybody down. I did bet them. I bet the shit out of them week one against the Chiefs, though, when it was at seven. It's at six and a half right now. I'd want the full touchdown, but.
You know, I I think they'll be all right, but I I They should win 10 games. I couldn't bet that, though. I'm going to go under. I'm taking the over-under. Um graphic off of the YouTube I did it for the North.
I don't want to do it for any other division. It's actually kind of a lot of tedious work. Yeah. So Plus, there's like a lot of people, you know, that probably just listened to the podcast.
So it seems like, you know.
Well, I mean they're My hope is that like...
Some random Titans fan is like, AMC sells over unders? Dalton listen, but that. Yeah. Yeah, that's all that's going to be. I'm really trying to Jack up those YouTube numbers.
Yeah. So I found like all the videos of me and Freemes that I'm posting every week. You should start showing a little bit more skin maybe. Should I? For the lady audience, yeah.
I can do the should I do the NFC E shirtless? There you go. Yeah, now we're talking. There's the ratings. Yeah, show a little skin.
Looking good. You look like you've been hitting the gym a little bit. I look like I stopped shaving halfway through my chest. Dude, is there anything worse than emails? Yeah, uh trying to lose weight at age 39.
You should just do what I told you to do, just do the fasting. You have one meal a day. I tried too fucking hard. I hated it.
Well, I don't know what to tell ya.
Alright, NFC East. Cowboys, nine and a half wins. Yeah, over, dude. Actually, I bet the Cowboys to actually represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah.
A lot of faith in the big guy this year taking over play calling. You know why? I'm I'm really excited for Kellen Moore. With the Chargers, even though I think he might be shit. Just because he's going to allow Justin Herbert to actually push the ball down the field, whereas Joe Lombardi treated Justin Herbert like fucking Drew Brees when his arm was falling off.
I'm really excited, though, for the big guy to take over play calling because I love Tony Pollard. and is a fantasy owner in a dynasty league. And just as a guy that is going to bet the Cowboys win total over and them to win that division as well. I want to run the ball with Tony Pollard, and there's no more Zeke.
So you got Tony Pollard at the wide receiver position. I like CeeDee Lamb. Uh I didn't think he was a number one wide receiver. He proved last year he could be. And then they bring in Brandon Cooks.
So I know he had kind of a down year for Brandon Cooks last year, but he was playing for the Texans. Imagine trying to be motivated to go to work every day with that dumpster fire of a situation. And Lovey Smith is your head coach in the year 2022, 23. And then they have, you know, Michael Gallup, who really hasn't been very good since 2019, since he tore his ACL. But who knows?
Now he's another year healthier, and now he's just wide receiver number three on the defensive side of the ball.
Well, Micah Parsons, and he's playing for a contract. He wants to be on the field every down. They're going to play him as a traditional.
Well, actually, they're going to play him as an outside linebacker. I like him more as just a defensive end, rushing the quarterback. But I like Dan Quinn. He's trying to get a head coaching gig. And then I thought the Stefan Gilmore pickup was really nice.
He had a pretty solid year. I don't think he's washed yet. I like Diggs. You know, last year he wasn't gambling as much. I think the Cowboys win at least 10 games.
Also, Dak's gonna be tough, though, Horvot.
So, the schedule's real tough, but I think Dak's gonna be pissed off and motivated, especially after his season ended, like in an embarrassing fashion once again for the third season. How about McCarthy Rogers part two, week two of the season? McCarthy's going to get him this time. Oh, God. What a game that's going to be.
All these games. I want to, you know what, all over the place, dude. Like, week one, Bills, Jets. Week one, Dolphins, Chargers. Herbert vs.
Tua. Like let's let's fucking go. Let's like fast forward. I hate baseball so much. I can't do, I cannot do.
A Packers Postgame show week two, they play the Atlanta Falcons at noon. I gotta watch Jets Cowboys, man. Yeah. Shit. Who's gonna wanna watch this beautiful face?
When it's Rogers McCarthy reunited. Just do a full NFL recap show, like with highlights, like the George Michael sports machine. Should I, from my basement? That'd be fucking dope, wouldn't it? I'd be like, I mean, Wayne's World did it from his basement.
Wayne did. Wayne Campbell. George. George Michael, R.I.P. Ended up pulling uh Cassandra, too.
Oh, dream weaver I believe you could get me through the night. Tireless guy. Cowboys though, you're not with me on the Cowboys? I think the schedule's hard. But I could do I could do nine and a half.
But it'd be like 10. I mean, somebody in this NFC has got to win some games. Eagles are over under 10 and a half. Anytime it gets to the double digits, it gets tricky because, like, these teams either. win 10 or they're going to win 13.
Like that's that's what happens when a team is ten and a half over under. What's weird about that too is they have the easiest schedule. They're only dogs a couple times. The Chiefs are favored in every single game. Man, I mean, I'm going to say over on the Eagles, but.
I think the Cowboys win the division. I think you have to. I feel like there might be a little Super Bowl hangover. Also, I see like everybody has Jalen Hurts rated as their number two quarterback in the league. I'm just not ready to go there right now.
Because his rookie year, you know, there was a whole side of the field. I put him above Dak. Me too. He was awesome last year. But I'm just saying, you know, like.
It's another like we've seen. I'm not comparing him to Colin Kaepernick, but you know, like Kaepernick looked like he was going to own the league. And then they figured him out. Um You know, but Jalen's awesome. Don't get me wrong.
I'm just, I can't go number two in the league. I'd probably take Herbert over him. I know I would take Burrow and Herbert over him. And I'd probably still take Lamar over him. Like, I know Lamar has been hurt the last two years, but fucking people forget Lamar won an MVP with like you and me at wide receiver.
And now this year he's got OBJ, who, you know, will probably be healthy for three weeks, but whatever. Yeah, I'm going to go over on the Eagles too. I think both the Cowboys and the Eagles probably win like 11, 12 games. I'm in Wayne's world now. Hmm.
Um yeah, I put My my franchise quarterbacks, Mahomes. Is one a Because every team would trade their quarterback for Mahomes. And then, what I look at for the next, like who the franchise quarterbacks are. I decide: will that team trade for somebody else? Burrow Burrow Herbert Jackson Uh hurts.
Allen, Josh Allen. And I put Trevor Lawrence in there. I don't think the Jaguars trade Trevor Lawrence for any of those guys. But the Cowboys, would they trade Dak for Trevor Lawrence? Yes.
Would they trade Dak for Jalen Hurts? No, I they probably not. Mm, I think they might. I actually did my quarterback list the other day. I go Mahomes number one.
Burrow number two. Herbert, number three. Hurts, number four. Josh Allen, number five. Aaron Rodgers, number six.
Trevor Lawrence, number seven. Lamar, number eight. Deshaun, number nine. Dak, number 10. Kyler, number 11.
Tua, number 12. Geno Smith, 13. Russell Wilson, 14. Matthew Stafford, 15. Kirk Cousins, 16.
Derek Carr, 17. Jared Goff, 18. Justin Fields, 19. Daniel Jones, 20. Kenny Pickett, 21.
Bryce Young, 22. Brock Purdy, 23. C.J. Stroud, 24. Jordan Love, 25.
Jimmy G, 26. Mac Jones, 27. Anthony, 28. Ryan Tannehill, 29. Sam Howell, 30.
Baker Mayfield, 31. Desmond Ritter, 32. What did you have an issue with? You think that's too low for Jordan Love, 25? I got him over Jimmy G and Mac Jones.
I think Kyler is not a top, he's not top 11. See, here's my hot take. Kyler played for that douchebag, Cliff Kingsbury, the last couple of years. And two years ago, First eight weeks of the season, he was going to be the MVP of the league until he ran into the buzzsaw that was the Green Bay Packers. and he got hurt.
Like when he's not hurt, though, dude, Kyler does things every week that you've never seen ever. I think he runs 87 yards for a two-yard sack. I've never seen that before. I mean, I'm probably too high on on I mean, Deshaun Watson, Deshaun Jackson, Jesus, Deshaun Watson could be the ninth best quarterback in the league, or he could be number two. Last year, he didn't look anything like what he used to, he was awful.
But he didn't play football for a couple of years, man. His mechanics were shit. I think he's going to have a monster year, though. I hate to say it. Uh Giants are eight and a half.
Under. I'm going under. And I love them. That was my best bet. Everybody gave me shit last year because I went over.
I love Brian Dayball. But dude, like Saquon doesn't want to be there. I still don't really love the wide receiver room, to be honest with you. Like, they got better, but I just in that division, I think the Cowboys are going to be really good. I think the Eagles are going to be really good.
And I think the Commanders might be sneaky good, but I just think like Mm-hmm.
Now that Daniel Jones got paid, he might blow. And I hear guys like Tiki Barber say that he's going to have a better year than Aaron Rodgers. Anybody that wants to bet that. Tiki Barber is getting a new job. I saw that.
What if they called you? Would you take that job? Uh I don't know. I don't. Did I have to move to New York?
What's with all these networks wanting these old dudes? Like, no offense to Carton. He's a legend in the game, but like. Are you going to be watching the what what is he gonna be even doing? Doesn't he already have his own show?
Who Carton? Yeah. He does, he's been double duty. He's got a show on FS1 first thing in the morning. I watched that because my guy Cody Decker's on it, of course.
Yeah, the show is. Fine, entertaining. But it's not like It's not like I have to watch Carton. If somehow it's on, like if I'm watching congressional baseball the night before and then. FS One's still on.
I'll watch Carton, but I'm not waking up to watch it like I do. Like I set my alarm to my guy, Skip. What's the doubt? Would you take that job, Skip's partner? Uh would I?
Yeah. Yeah. Because I live for that shit. You know what I mean? Like, I would love to debate with his bitch ass every single day.
Because. I and I would love that because, um Like, I've never worked with anybody that has to be the ridiculous take guy. You know, like, every once in a while, like, we'll have a take where we disagree, but you're not like coming on here, like, LeBron James sucks. You know what I mean? Like.
That's the thing, like J.J. Ruddick. Everybody blows JJ Redick. And all he does is like just go on there and be like, no, you guys are crazy. Like, Kevin Duran isn't watching.
Yeah, the JJ, that stick works. Once. You can't you can't You can't do that. You can't have Russo and Stephen A. You know what you're getting.
And then you can't have JJ just to be there and be like. Worst episode ever. Right.
Like let the guys let him This is what the let this You know, sometimes, and then Jay Williams, whenever he's on. You know, I watch some of this shit now that I don't. Know if I'm working or not. I don't know what my life is. But he's always like It always looks like every time Stephen A.
Smith disagrees with Jay Williams, Jay Williams. wants to cry. Yeah. Wouldn't you take breakdown here on the fan? Yeah.
Great show though. Um Yeah, I got to take the Giants under Because if I'm gonna you know, the Cowboys, that's that's the thing with the division. The the Giants, I think. I think we had our little Daniel Jones fun time. Yeah, man.
I mean, we're the biggest Daniel Jones fans out there. We are, and you rank him 20th. No, I didn't, did I? Yeah, I was waiting to hear DJ's name. Yeah, twentieth.
Yeah. I mean, but when you think about it, dude, like... Because I'm not putting Desmond Ritter or Baker Mayfield or Sam Howell, and Tannehill's old. And Anthony you know like Yeah, I mean, I don't. You know, I don't know.
Justin Fields is probably too high on this list. Would you put him? Nineteen, nineteen. Yeah, but he could be. Like, I thought Pickett was a little low.
I think he's good. See, like the way, no, the way that I'm rating this, though, is like if you told me. If I'm the GM or if I'm a fan of a team, who I would want from like one to would you take Carl Anthony Towns or Eric Spolstra? I would take Carl Anthony Towns. All Imig does every week that he's on is.
And we like to back him into a corner, but he just talks about how much he loves Eric Spolstra. He would take him over, like. There's like six players he'd take before Spolstra. Hey, people forget that Eric Spolstra has lost three straight final series. People forget that Eric Spolstra finished the season with a two and seven record.
Y wait, what players would he take over Spolstra though? Like the MVPs. He would say if he was in a draft and it got to pick number 10. Yeah. He'd probably take Spolstra.
Mm. Hey, the guy loves Spolstra. What can I say? Good looking man. You know, got that nice smile, got that nice.
He's got, Spolster's got one of the best. Like, you've got to be fucking kidding me, smiles in the game. Like, he's great, but I would rather have a superstar player. Like, I would rather have. I'd rather have Myers Leonard.
I'd rather have a player. Yeah. Do you think if Spolstra coached the Bucs this year, they would have won the finals? Yeah. Me too.
Me too. No, I don't actually. I mean, well, does it go down the same way so Giannis is hurt? If Bud was the coach of the Heat then?
Well, they're not going to the finals. He'd be like. He'd be like, Tyler Hero's hurt. I'm just going to give Duncan Robinson 45 minutes. Poor bud.
Poor bud. Kyle Lowry be like, I can contribute. Kevin Love, I can play. Yeah. That you know, yeah, I, yeah, yeah.
Spoke probably would have took the butt. Spoke probably would have played Udonis Haslam 20 minutes against us if he was the coach of the Heath. Commander seven and a half over under. Over. I'm going over on the commanders.
I like Sam. As you're in the DMV. No, no, I hate the DMV. I do like Sam Howell, though. I liked him in North Carolina, dude.
Three years ago, four years ago, he was like, people thought he was going to be a first-round pick. I thought that was a steal. I know he's small, but. He looked pretty good. He's going to be the best quarterback that Terry McLaurin's played with.
Terry McLaurin's really good. I like their skill position players. Dotson, I like the running backs, Brian Robinson. Gibson. And then on the defensive side of the ball, Chase Young hasn't been healthy since his rookie year, but he was really good as a rookie.
And now it's a prove-it-year deal where he wants to get paid.
So he'll probably blow up, sweat. Um I like what they did in the draft. Yeah, I think the commanders go over. I think they'll have a really good defense again, and I think the offense will be better with Sam Howell. And if he's not the answer, they have Jacoby Brissette, who I don't like, but he's serviceable enough to win you a couple of games.
So I'm going to go over on the Commanders. I'm actually kind of excited for them this year. Let's look at the. Oh, I guess I'm going over to. You have a night in your home?
Yeah. My new background for this division is happyplacehemp.com, but it's their location, it's their physical location. I took this picture there. Yeah, they got all the gummies behind me. Happyplacehem.com is gummies and tinctures and the THC 8s, the THC, or no, the Delta 8s, Delta 9s.
I think they might have a case or two of the THCOs left. Scoop them up while you can. The CBD, CBN nighttime gummies. Abby PlayStation. The promo code is Bart.
25% off every order that you get. HappyPlaceMp.com. The NFC West we can look at the uh I guess we'll start with the Niners. I don't know who their quarterback's going to be. Is this real the line that I have in front of me right now?
What is it? 11 and a half. Yeah, 11 and a half for the Niners. What? As Chuck would say, what?
Yeah, I mean, that defense, that offense, I'm going over on the Niners. Quarterback. Does it matter, dude? I mean, they just need somebody that could complete a forward pass. That's why I think they should trade for Kirk.
The defense kept them in that game. Against the Eagles, and they didn't even have a quarterback. You know what I'm saying?
So. Now they have Sam Darnold. They have tray lands. They have your guy, Brock Purdy, and they can make a decision.
So over on the Niners. I also feel like this is like they're kind of like Their last year, their windows closed and I know that they paid Debo last year. I love Brandon Ayuk too. He's awesome. But they might not be able to keep Kittle and, you know, on the defensive side of the ball, all those dudes, Nick Bosa is going to have to get paid here again soon.
So. I don't know.
Well, I'm going to take under. That's too high for me. 11 and a half. That's the highest in the league. I'd say the.
The Bengals and the Chiefs. That's too high. I like in that division, I like Seattle at eight and a half. I will take that over. Seattle, Seattle's going to be.
My I'm gonna put it I'm gonna put NFC champions on Seattle. That's what I'm gonna do. I actually, I went uh, I did that really small, and then I went over on their win total. I like what they're doing, man. And I like Pete Carroll, looks like he's rejuvenated now that he got rid of that nutbag, Russell Wilson.
And I like Geno. I believe in Gino. The run game's going to be even better. And then on the defensive side of the ball, I like their secondary a lot better now. Like they're trying to rebuild the Legion of Boom with the big tall corners.
I'm with you on Seattle. The only thing that scares me is I feel like a lot of people are hyping them up. I could definitely see Gino coming back down to earth because he kind of did after that ridiculous start to the season. Yeah, I was kind of out on that. I don't know.
Them drafting JSN in the first round, just like. And I know he's their third receiver, but that just told me like. They're ready. They're playing. They're not taking a quarterback of the future.
They're not. They want to score. Pete Carrolls. old and he's got a lot of toys. Yeah, and you like beautiful big ones.
He wants to win. He's not trying to do a rebuild. You know what I mean? Like, he's going to be dead soon. Guy's fucking old.
Well, I didn't want to say that. I mean, I didn't see, I didn't either. You know, but you know, I'm still not completely over the whole, you know, NFC championship game, even though everybody else is, 'cause Brandon Bostik's just in town slapping high fives every gets to do Lambel Leaves whenever he wants, I guess, part of the deal. Yeah, just fucked up my whole year, but it's all good. I'm kidding, though.
Let's go. We got it. The Seattle Seahawks, I'm going to take the over eight and a half. That's probably that's one of my favorite bets. We might both be wrong, but it's something I'm going to be rooting for.
Kenneth Walker season baby. Rams over, under seven and a half. Under Like, I don't even want to spend time on this team. Like. Yeah, you bring back Aaron Donald and Shumpy baseback.
Over under seven and a half, you got Vegas doubting us. And that's the thing about Vegas is they don't know what's going on inside these walls. They don't know every piece of sweat, hard work that you guys have put into this team. They don't know that. It's just a bunch of nerds with poker visors doing numbers.
Over under seven and a half, I'd set the line at 16 and a half because this team, I do think when I look around, we can go undefeated. Yeah, that's the best McVay I've ever heard from you. But, like, is Matthew Stafford going to be alive by week three? You know, is Cooper Cup going to be healthy? Like, does Aaron Dodd?
Yeah. Cost me a fantasy title last year. He was rolling. I mean, Ramsey sucked last year. They traded him.
I just. Yeah, I can't do it with the Rams. I'm not running to bet them under, though, because McVay's still a good coach. I don't know.
I think they could win eight. Yeah, I think they could, but I also could see them winning four, right? Like, what if John Wolford is their quarterback again in like week three?
So. I got a funny feeling about those funny Rams. I'm not going to bet this one, but I would go. I'm going to say the overall. I'll say eight wins.
Okay.
Okay.
I can see. I feel good about it. That's just more of a women's intuition than anything else. Yeah. All right.
So, over on them. Who else do we got? Cardinals over under five and a half. I will take the under.
So, yeah, man, like, I don't know when the hell Kyler Murray's going to be back. They found a guy that's worse. Then Kingsbury to coach. Yeah, and also you have Colt McCoy as your starting quarterback, it looks like week one.
So. I would have to go under on the Cardinals. They might end up being the worst team in the league. But the interesting topic is: if they do end up only winning two, three games, right? If they're the worst team in the league.
Obviously, they're going to have the number one overall pick. And we've seen this before, you know, where they had Josh Rosa, not that he was the number one overall pick, but they just got rid of him after a year and drafted Kyler number one. What if they suck? You know, and they only win two games and they get the number one overall pick. How do you not take Caleb Williams or Drake May?
So are they moving on from Kyler, who they just paid? It's going to be a mess. No D-hop. Your boy JJ Watts retired. He's coming home.
He's coming home. Tell the world he's coming home. Under. Let us transition. Two The L C self.
Yeah. Where are you at right now? I'm at my office on Lake Michigan. I like that. Nice blue water behind me today.
Yeah. Yeah, I think I can see uh a guy on a jet ski behind you. How's my neighbor, Tom? Tom! Waves up, dude.
Ask him what he thinks about the Chargers this year. He likes them. We were just talking about that the other day. He still calls them the San Diego Chargers, though. Fucking Tom.
That happens, though. Happens to the best of us.
Alright, NFC South. The New Orleans Saints, I said when they signed Derek Carr, I said they have guaranteed themselves. A home playoff game. I don't know who else wins at division unless Bryce Young has a really good year. The Saints are nine and a half, though.
Yeah. I mean, I think they could win the division. I don't know if they're like a 10-win football team, though. Yeah, I did this with the Saints last year, and they let me down because remember, I believed in Jameis. You have to look at their schedule.
I mean, they do play when we were win-lossing our Green Bay Packers. I automatically just gave the Packers four wins because they play the NFC South.
So that's part of what I think.
So with the Saints schedule. I mean, they play the NFC South too. They've got the Titans. They've got... The Patriots, the Texans, Jackson.
So they've got the AFC South and the NFC North. Yeah. Oh my god. Yeah, the Saints.
Okay, I'll they're gonna Jesus. They might have the easiest goddamn schedule in the world. No, no, no, the Eagles have the easiest schedule. Strength of scheduling. The Saints play in the South.
They have the NFC North and they have the AFC South.
Well, we'll talk.
Okay, well, we got to talk about Atlanta and Carolina here in a second. I would not, I don't think I would go over, I went over last year. And you gotta remember like the way remember Jameis was five and two and he had like 12 touchdowns and three picks. They beat the crap out of the Packers week one.
So then I believed in them last year. And my money was tied up all year. In week 14, week 15, week 16, I'm watching freaking Andy Dalton dropping back 40 times per game.
So. I don't want to do it with the Saints this year. They should win that division if Derek Carr doesn't look like dump like he did last year. But Kamara's going to be suspended the first four games of the season. Michael Thomas hasn't been healthy since the Backstreet Boys were number one on the pop charts.
He's got like a metal plate in his foot. I do love Chris Olave. The defense is going to be really good. I think that's what I've owned one. I didn't own one K.
And 95 mask in my house the last time Michael Thomas was good. Exactly. Like he hasn't been healthy in forever and he's getting old. Uh so Man, over. I'll still go over.
Yeah, over on the Saints. I'm not betting on that. Saints go marching in. Oh, how I want to be in that number when the Saints win me 10 games. Yeah, okay.
I'm in. Who's her coach, Dennis Allen? Yeah, Dennis Allen, yeah. Dennis Ann's like the Joe Prunty of coaches. That's what I mean, though.
Like, I don't know, man. I could see them blowing and like Derek Carr throwing like 50 picks, too. What about your Falcons with your quarterback, Desmond Ritter? Eight and a half. Yeah, I just don't know if he's any good.
I didn't even really love him in college, to be honest with you. He looks like he's like 55 years old. But I mean I like them who is their running back Ford Who? Cincinnati. Oh, Jerome Ford.
I was going to say, I thought you meant Atlanta. I'm like, Cincinnati. Once, like, like they didn't make the playoff, but They were barely winning those games. And it wasn't because of Desmond Ritter as their defense. Yeah, sauce gardener and those guys.
And I mean, that's what fickles a defensive minded coach. Yeah, I would um I guess I would go under here, but I mean, I don't know how good Desmond Ritter has to be. Because you got to remember how good Marcus Mariota looked those first like four or six weeks of the season before he quit. And got hurt. And benched, but uh, dude, they got Tyler Algier, they got Patterson, now they got Bijan Robinson, who I love.
They got Kyle Pitts. They have Drake London. But that defense sucks. I'd have to go under, but I wouldn't be surprised, you know, if Desmond Ritter is any good. If they'd be a sneaky, you know, 10-11 win team, I just don't know that he's going to be any good.
He's he's a big question mark for me.
So, uh, under for right now, I'm going to go under the eight and a half on the Falcons. Yeah. As well. The um Carolina Panthers are seven and a half. Over.
I don't know, man. I guess they're playing the same divisions that the Saints are, so. Yeah, I'm going to go over on Carolina because. I'm a Bryce Young believer. I know he's small.
Yeah, they could win eight games. I'll go over with you. Remember how good they were after they traded everybody last year? I mean, they got a pretty solid defense. They have a solid run game, even after they traded away Christian McCaffrey.
Somehow, the run game got better. And I like Bryce Young. I think they'll be all right. I think they could win eight, nine games. I think they might surprise some people.
So I'm going to go over on Carolina, under on Atlanta. You know, the Buccaneers at six and a half is such a good number. Like, That's the perfect. That's why this is so hard is That's exactly what the numbers should be. Is it that hard, though, dude?
Like, is Kyle Trask going to be starting by week five? And like, all the guys Baker, I think Baker. Baker puts up some games where it's like. 300 yards and three touchdowns. Yeah.
And they they like never win though. Like, I mean, he looks up numbers, and but he also throws three picks or he fumbles twice. Like, He'll be a good fantasy quarterback, but I'm going to go under the six and a half. Me too. I think that they want to be bad.
I think they want Caleb Williams or Drake May. I don't think that the Buccaneers are like, okay, we got our quarterback in the future, fucking Baker Mayfield on his third team, right? You know, I don't think they're, they definitely don't believe in Kyle Trask because if you believe in Kyle Trask, You're not calling for Baker Mayfield. I think you want Caleb Williams or Drake May, and the goal is to lose games. What'll be interesting to see, man, is if they trade some of those vet players, you know, like What's going to happen with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin?
Guys on the defensive side of the ball are already saying during camp. They want to be moved, so. I'm gonna go under. I think they're gonna be a fucking disaster, to be honest with you. Ryan Horbot and I, you can check us out on the Dan Shaney YouTube stream, youtube.com.
Backslash at Bart Winkler Show. That is up, and then I'm going to separate it by divisions to try to get some more numbers.
So, if you get a subscribe to the YouTube channel, which I hope you are, I think that'd be great. And you get notifications. You're going to get four at once to an episode that's already posted, but I broke it up: AFC and AFC South, East, West, North. Hey. I'm just trying to keep this grand piano behind me.
From being Repode. Secret invasion, real quick. I d First of all. I'm not going to judge it. Until the whole thing's done.
Which means that I like it. Yes, I like, I like all Marvel. I'm past the point of, I'm like a Republican or Democrat. With Marvel. It doesn't matter what my leader does.
If my leader says this is what we're thinking, then that's what I'm thinking. And if Marvel puts out a product, then I like it. And that's how it is. That's just how it is. I thought it was a little slow at times.
The ending, I am. Still processing of episode one. Um And I still, I still like to get a better. What's weird right now for me? Is that What they're telling you is that there's all these terror attacks.
that have happened. But then when you watch like She-Hulk. It's like there's n it's like the only bad guys are Imposter superheroes. It's like I can't get the feel of what the world is. Like is the world this dark decrepit?
Awful place. Or is she helped working with Megan Um The stallion. I don't know.
I that's what I'm having a hard time with. A couple more voicemails. Uh let's see, Drake. No, not Jake. Jake.
Jake. Jake talked about. Grant. John in Madison has a message for Paul Immick. This is John and Wassaw.
I guess this message is for Paul or anybody. Oh, Wausaw, did you move? Did you move, John? Or is this the wrong John? Here we go.
Hands up all? Listen, we all wanted AEW to be good. We wanted an alternative to WWE. But AEW sucks. Moxley does nothing.
He's whispering to the young bucks in the last match about, you know, this, it's gotta do this, it's gotta do that. They just suck. The young bucks doing their flippy-doopy stuff that doesn't make any damn sense. You've got Omega who once wrestled a nine-year-old and a blow-up doll. I mean, it's just frustrating to watch.
I mean, the blading is so obvious. And it's like, oh, you know, people are going to say, oh, well, don't you know what wrestling is like fake anyway? The point of wrestling is to at least make it look real and make sense. AEW doesn't make any sense. The booking is terrible.
Tony Tom doesn't know what the hell he's doing. It sucks. We all wanted AEW to be good. But it's okay to admit that it sucks. All right?
Punk is good. MVF is good. There's a couple of others with that, but it just sucks right now.
So, Paul, AEW sucks. There you have it. A EW sucks.
Now They are gaining some momentum again. Collision did a good number, I think. On Saturday. And Paul will refute that because. AEW DePaul is a marvel to me.
But I just uh I I like to play voicemails. The Carl play Carls plays voicemail line. Carl's place, Carl of et.com backslash Bart. They have your golf simulators ready to go. You can also customize them to appropriate spaces in your house, your garage.
The angle that I would take too. I mean, if you have room for one, I would do it. Uh I I would I would coax a buddy into getting one. I'd coax your father-in-law into getting one. That's what I would start doing.
Giving them the carloet.com backslash vart link, of course. And then you can go over there and play whenever you want. Um but they're paying for it. Here is one from if we're doing voicemails of people going after each other. Matt in the Falls has some words for Cone.
This motherfucker, this motherfucker won't even say which cop's location he went to. Not that he's at. Cops location that he went to. Hey, Cohen, which cops go to? Uh, undisclosed.
Was it, was it this one? Uh, non-disclosed. Are you fucking kidding me? You can't say which, like, what the fuck is this guy's deal? Like, does he think?
I. Oh my god. Just. I can't say why it bothers me so much, but it's just fucking ridiculous. Like, get your head out of your own fucking asshole.
And just be a normal guy. Like, nobody gives a fuck who you are. I mean, I don't care who he is. He's nobody. His name is Tom Dick.
And he's probably an insurance bill, but I don't give a fuck who he is. I just think it's stupid that he's fucking hiding. Just grow. The fuck up. All right.
So that is Matt's. Message to Cohn. Bucky Boyd calling again about soccer. March, fuck your boy here. Just calling with some more soccer content.
I'm curious of your thoughts on your hammer player Decal Rice, and particularly your thoughts on where you think he's going to be sold to. Because as I'm sure you've seen in your Twitter feed in one way or another, his sale is impending. And I'm just curious on your thoughts as to where he's going to go, maybe general thoughts on what you think he is as a player and his value to West Ham. And yeah, maybe what the state of the squad is. Your thoughts on the state of the squad going into the next Premier League season?
Because of course, as you know, it's coming up in about two and a half months. And maybe some of your Expectations in the transfer window for Wentham, and maybe some of your needs you need to fill.
So, yeah, just sprinkling in some soccer. Hope you have a good rest of the week, and we'll talk soon. Peace and love. Yeah, good question. I still, I still, just based on the first voicemail that Bucky had left me, I don't know if he's trying to like.
Quiz me. I don't know if that's a sincere question. I do know Declan Rice. I thought that there was the opportunity that he was going to get sold last. Summer The transfer window basic so Teams sell their players essentially to the better teams or the teams with more money, because then that's how they get more money.
So I I mean, everything about European soccer is just better than American soccer. It just is. It just is. I guess Arsenal thought they were going to get him and now Man United might get him. That would be a big loss, obviously.
I don't have expectations about West Ham. And this goes back to. when I first started liking West Ham. My West Ham allegiance. Is it started with a guy named Seamus?
And I love telling this story because I beat him in a poker tournament. I actually beat 50 people. And he took second. It came down to us for the final two.
So he won his purse. I won mine. And we had been talking a little bit during the match, so afterwards I went and bought him a shot and a beer. I think that's a nice thing to do. And I told them I need a Premier League team.
This was back in 2013. I said, I gave him my MLS team as the Timbers. I don't think he followed up to this day. But I've liked West Ham ever since then. And he told me.
Uh Look. He's like They're not going to ever be good. Then they're never going to be they they they're not going to be absolute shit. They'll be right in the meadow. And I thought.
That's exactly like the teams I like. This is perfect.
So I like West Ham. And it seems like West Ham does one of two things. They either start the season very, very, very bad. And they're in the relegation zone until March. And then they crawl out and finish like thirteenth.
Or they start very, very good. And then come, you know, their boxing day matches, go into a free fall. and finish like 11th.
So I don't have any expectations other than that ever. They're my team. I like them. Um That's where I'm at. I still would like to watch a game with you.
Uh man City. and West Ham. I still would like to do that come the start of the season. And and that would be fun. All right, that's the episode.
Appreciate you guys. I am going to be live after the NBA draft, or at least when I get home. We'll do an episode then. And then uh Full week of shows next week. Before the July fourth holiday, I might take a day off or two.
Uh forgive me. Because next week, I mean, not just full week of shows, but. Full week of Bill Ryder shows, guys. Your boy's gonna be all over that place.
So look for me. And I'll be at Summerfest. If you're at SummerFest Thursday or Friday, Or Saturday. Check out the Milwaukee Pro Soccer. Exhibit It's right by the Miller Light stage, and it's right by the main entrance.
The main entrance, you're basically going to walk right by us. when you get in. Such a prime spot. There'll be merchandise for sale. We'll have tablets.
We're going to be taking votes. For team names. There's this little uh Bino is the name of the game. I don't quite know it yet, but it's like just like a flicky soccer game where we can give you some. Keychains, or something, if you get it right, or let us know that you're following us on Twitter and that stuff, and we'll hook you up with prizes.
So I won't be there this week. A lot of my pals will, and then I'll be there.
