This is the first ever international edition of Overreaction. This is really cool, Rich. And I said this to you earlier, but great job on the cast yesterday. Ended up being a really interesting game. Jacksonville got out to the lead, never really relinquished, but the Bills did make it interesting at the end. How was the vibe there in London? It looked like such a great time. It was awesome.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is awesome. It's great. And a lot of Bills fans went in there hoping that they're looking around and that it's going to be a similar layout in their new facility once it's finally built.

And the Bills mafia showed up en masse. It was great. My only concern right now, though, is that this edition of Overreaction Monday clears customs because the folks in charge of Brexit are going to be the ones to determine whether or not you're overreacting too much, Christopher. So what do you say? Great. Let's do it. Let's start. Let's see.

Where should we start? We start with the drop. Hit it.

Hit it. That was terrible. That was crap. That was garbage. This place sucks.

Overreaction Mondays, Monday. All right, Chris. Here we go. All right, Rich. I'm not going to start where you think I'm going to start, but I'm going to start here. The Detroit Lions, big winners yesterday, put up a 40 burger on the Panthers. They are the best challenge to the 49ers to come out of the NFC. I like it, Chris. I like that. Look at you starting this thing off right now.

And I know a couple of numbers, Rich. The Lions have 148 points scored through five weeks. That's second in the NFC only to San Francisco. Jared Goff has been awesome. Top 10 in yards, sixth in passer rating and completion percentage, nine touchdowns, only three picks on the year. He is playing great football. And as we mentioned earlier on the big show, he's going to get another big contract probably from Detroit. He is this team's franchise quarterback. And everybody thought he was just keeping it there until the Lions eventually would fall apart, get themselves a top 10 pick or this time around when they had that pick, they'd stick in there and maybe get Anthony Richardson or somebody if he fell.

And instead they go and get your mirror Gibbs trade out and they're just taking chunks out of people and they're getting it done. And I love the Detroit Lions. You know, I picked them to win the division. You know, I love talking about them.

You know, I love Aiden Hutchinson. You know, I love Dan Campbell, but I'm going to call this an overreaction because the Philadelphia Eagles are still sitting there. And yes, I believe the San Francisco 49ers would rather have the Eagles potentially come into their house, feeling great about taking care of business against the Philadelphia Eagles in front of their home fans, a nice piece of red meat for all those prospectors out there looking for gold and 49er country to try and get past them and win the Super Bowl and go to the Super Bowl and win it. I would proffer to say they'd rather see the Eagles than the Lions. The Lions are a great team on the road. I know the Eagles are doing what they're doing, which is why I'm just basically going to say this is an overreaction to start.

It's too soon to say that the Lions have a better chance than the Eagles to beat the 49ers. That's how I'm going to go with this one. That's a great way to start. I like it. Susie Schuster and Amy Trask present offbeat conversations and expert sports commentary as they ask, what the football? When my family found out how long it took me to figure out why Charles Woodson named his wine intercept, they said, there's a reason that you had trouble in school. You know, not everyone knows, you know, what they think about a little intercept. They don't know that I play football. Well, what I've learned is a smooth defensive back can make smooth wine.

That's what it's all about. What the football with Susie Schuster and Amy Trask, the podcast is available Tuesdays. Wherever you listen, we're off to a good start.

Okay. This guy has taken a lot of, a lot of heat on this podcast and nationally really, because he doesn't look good. Despite the team winning its first two games got tripped up the last two weeks, but big win yesterday at home. If Desmond Ritter plays like that, rich eyes and the Falcons are winning the NFC South.

Hey man, I, I I'll, I'll say that that's a good one. 20 for 37, 329 yards through a touchdown, ran another one in. He was making confident throws, got Kyle Pitts involved. Finally a Pitts breakout game.

Drake London had a big game. This was a great Desmond Ritter's best game as a pro. I don't think you can argue that brother. I am 100% with you.

I think that this is a good call. Despite the fact we had Baker Mayfield on this week and he's looked the way that he's looked coming off a bye hangs out and the at the at the Oklahoma win over the Texas Longhorns feeling good about himself, but you and I both chose the Falcons to win this division coming into the season. And that's exactly the reason why Arthur Smith didn't bench this guy in the London loss to Jacksonville. He could have pushed that panic button and he got himself a good performance like this, a nice little upward tick against the Texans team. Hey, that beat Trevor Lawrence, a Texans team that has absolutely been better on defense than last year. So that was a nice W Desmond Ritter looking down the, the barrel of who knows Taylor Heineke, if there is a short rope and we also saw what CJ Stroud has been doing.

He could have put that pressure on himself as well, but it made diamonds in terms of that last minute win for the Falcons. I'll, I'll, I'll buy this one. I'll take this one on that one. I rich, you know who else is back?

Oh baby. He had his best game of the year as well. Joe burrow and Jamar chase approved. He was a bleep and open with those guys back to form the Bengals are the team to beat in the AFC North. I'll still call that an overreaction. I don't know who's the team to beat in the AFC North.

I have no idea. You can't choose any of them right now. You, you, or you could, or you could make the case for every single one of them. And I know the folks think that the Ravens and their offense, if I'm not mistaken, that was my prediction from last week's overreaction. Did we finally get one? Right? Well, we'll just put a pin in that for later on in this conversation. Okay. Uh, for, as you know, we always finish our podcasts with predicting what we're going to overreact to.

Right. It's still too soon to call the Ravens, even though in our, in the, in the overreaction Monday segment during this show, you said their offense was broken. Who the hell knows if the Ravens can find some sort of light switch, even in London against the Tennessee Titans later on this week that I'm sticking around in London to call that game on NFL network on Sunday, the Steelers, man, they got punked by the 49ers. Then they went three of their next four. Losing one in Houston means that they're very inconsistent.

So you can make the case. They're not the team to beat the Ravens. Aren't the team to be cause her offense doesn't look all that great. And they're supposed to look better in that front. Then the Browns are two and two and Deshaun Watson's a little bit banged up.

He's coming off of by not even showing up for the first moments of practice this week. So the Bengals look in the way they looked. They, if they play like this, okay. If they play like this, they look like the Bengals team we're familiar with. Need to see some consistency here. Need to see boroughs calf holding up. Can't call them the team to beat based on what we just saw this past weekend.

That's exactly what an overreaction is. AFC North wide open. That's my two cents there. AFC North best division in football.

Hmm. Let's see how Zach Wilson keeps throwing your little curve ball. Zach Wilson, the AFC East has the worst team in the league. All right, we'll get to that in a second. The Patriots. Okay.

We'll get to that in a minute. Speaking of terrible teams, the Denver Broncos are a terrible team. You watched, you stayed up to watch your jets.

I did handle them. 31, 21, probably not as close as a, it was a three point game late. Got a, got a, you know, scoop and score. But Sean Payton, rich, he took the money. Can't blame him, but he should have stayed on the Fox set and waited to coach one of these top three quarterbacks in 2024 instead of taking the money in Denver. I'll tell you what, if, if you want to go down this path here, the, the team that he, you know, should have waited for is basically if, if the chargers don't make the playoffs, you know what I'm saying?

Although you can't count on the spanos is to, to, to, to cut bait and, and to cut bait. You know what I mean? Right, right, right. You know, and, but here's the thing, uh, Christopher, he could stay put there in Denver and still coach one of these kids coming out of college. That's, that's how bad it has looked.

Not a bad point, dude. Russ just doesn't look like the guy in Seattle anymore. Let's call it the way we're seeing it right now.

Yeah. Two, two costly turnovers yesterday when they had a chance to win on Chris, he was on a path to the hall of fame. He was on a fast track to the hall of fame in Seattle. Dude, he was on a path to the hall.

And now the last, what would you say? I guess now 22 games, it's totally flipped. Honestly, the best play that he had in his arsenal was to hope that the jets defense playing man coverage didn't turn their heads. And he had a free reign to run up the middle also isn't doing himself any favors.

The play calling at one point, both of your top corners were out of the game for some reason, sauce took a breather and they ran some double reverse, whatever fumble recovery jets recover changed the whole tenor of that game. He might be, um, he might be in a slump too. Uh, I don't know.

Um, or they're just not good. He took over a team that, yeah. You know, Nathaniel Hackett didn't do a great job coaching him, but nobody could have. And this is proof of it.

I don't know. It's just five games in. So I'm not going to sit here and say that he should have stayed on Fox to coach these guys. He's taken the money to be in Denver and he may wind up coaching these guys anyway. And this may wind up being one of those moments where he's got to deal with the, you know, the jets, um, Twitter account memes. And he's got to hear all the criticism.

That was hilarious. You know, like, you know, all of that stuff, he's going to have to potentially deal with that. And in, in a very difficult, troubling season, but he, the end of the rainbow could be Caleb Williams in Denver anyway. You know, it could be Drake may in Denver. Anyway, it could be panics in Denver anyway. So, cause that's how, uh, bad they look right now. They look really bad. One of the bottom five teams in the week.

All right. Uh, let's talk about your jets. You guys won this game yesterday, two and three on the year. Let's be positive. Zach Wilson doing his thing, having a snap from scrimmage on offense with the lead for the first time. Beautiful thing. The jets are Zach Wilson's team.

Now, even if Aaron Rogers does come back late in the year, Zach's team. Okay. Okay. Well, this is what you wanted the whole time. This is what you wanted. No, no, no. I haven't wanted this. No, no, no. I haven't wanted this. I haven't wanted this.

What do you mean? What if I wanted, this is what you wanted. Remember in the office, let's, let's, let's take you back to the off season.

No, no, no. The Aaron Rogers rumors were hot. You're like, we don't need him. Zach's the guy. This is why we took the number two overall.

I said nothing of this sort. Oh, well I gotta be Aaron Rogers now. Four snaps, five snaps later. Now it's Zach Wilson's team again.

You must not have taken history at Syracuse because you're a terrible historian. You're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're creating your own narratives here. It's working.

It's working. Here's what I, here's what I wanted. I wanted Zach Wilson to come out of the box. The number two overall pick in the draft from BYU, looking like my homes, not saying that my homes has had it. My home's like ceiling that Romo said that Zach Wilson had.

Okay. That's what I wanted. I wanted him to come out of the box.

That's even pine. This guy, I wanted him to come out of the box. Like CJ Stroud's come out of the box in, in Houston. That's what I wanted to see. And, and instead we didn't get that. Get out of here. Even if Rogers cut, let me make sure, put my glasses on so I could see that topic bar. Even if you, if Rogers comes back from the speed bridge, you know what we're doing? We're getting on the Rogers train.

Why? What if Zach Wilson has his team in the playoff? What if he's like eight and six, you're going to just turn it back over to Rogers who hasn't played all year.

Yes. If, if the winds look like they looked yesterday, where we got to rely on Greg Zuerlein's leg and that we, we were fortunate not to have a come home to roost missing three points entirely at the end of the first half and seeing some of the throws every single time he throws it. And it looks like a frozen rope.

I'm like, I sit up straight in my chest every week. This is only five, but right now, this is an overreaction right now. If this is the play that we're going to get and Rogers defies all science, yes. Science, modern medicine comes to the rescue for Aaron Rogers.

Okay. If, if that happens, we're going to test Aaron Rogers, uh, speed bridge out in December. You betcha.

Or January. If this is the style of play that we're getting, this is so premature in such an overreaction. Move on, please.

All right. Here's not an overreaction. The Patriots are top to bottom, the worst team in the NFL right now, Carolina can at least score touchdowns. Rich it's 72 to three. The last two weeks, they have a minus 76 point differential. It sucks. They suck. I want the season to be over. Is it just like a therapy session?

Should I see if, should I see if I can take insurance right now for you? Absolutely. Well, once a week, I need one of these topics because just when I thought it can't get any worse, like bill Bellacheck had the worst loss of his coaching career last week.

And then they just re-upped it with a 34, a home shutout for the largest home shutout since 1969. It's awful. It's awful. I, I, I, I, I tweeted out that I could hear the booze and from a new England here in old England, you know, like it, it, it's bad. It's really bad. And I'm stunned to see how bad it is based on the fact that this team almost beat the Eagles in week one.

That seems like three years ago, almost week one, literally Douglas's toe goes, if it's not on the white line, the Pats might win that game. I know. And that would be something else that that team's still in there. The problem is, is Judon's hurt. And so is, so is the kid from Oregon that you drafted.

Yeah. The Christian Gonzalez was defensive rookie of the month and now they're out. He was on path brutal.

He was on path. I know, but, but JC Jackson's going to get up to speed. I can't believe it.

I will believe it when I see it. The problem for you is the schedule coming up. You need to win that game in Vegas. You got to win. You got to see that you, you have to win that game in Vegas to go two and four, certainly when you're going to be taking on the bills and the dolphins coming up next and they would love to curb stomp and, and the chiefs, but if it's, if they don't beat Vegas though, there's where are the winnable games?

It's I know they play indie, they play the commanders coming up, but if Anthony Richardson is back, that dude looks like one of the best young quarterbacks in the league against the Eagles. He could be really talented, Chris, but he can't finish. This is the third game and then another one, he completely missed. He can't stay healthy, which is a problem.

He's going to have to protect himself better. Or maybe we're learning that despite he looks like Adonis, he can't, he can't stay healthy. He plays week one and he doesn't, he honestly, he can't finish games. I just, I just don't know where the winds are coming on this schedule. I mean, this looks like this season, you take on Carolina, you win that game. Absolutely.

Bella checks, not losing to a, a rookie quarterback that ain't happening. So it's bad for you. They played terribly lately, but, um, I'll call that an overreaction just to save you from yourself.

Imperative entertainment presents in the red clay, get the podcast wherever you listen. All right, Christopher, let's get back at it. Here we go. And we're going to make adjustments.

I've been told by passport control, this is working out. So it's good. This team didn't make any second half adjustments yesterday, but I do like the cut of their jib when it comes to the wide receivers. Puka, Dodgick still balling. Cooper cup is back. The Rams have the best wide receiver duo in the NFL. You got to say that they do Puka second in the NFL and yards. He leads the NFL and catches and targets.

He got another touchdown yesterday. Cooper cup looked unbelievable in the first half yesterday. The two of them standing next to each other, 10 and 17 cop and the cool.

It looks like the cool is look, looks like if you translate the cool and from a different language, it's, it means cup seriously. They catch everything. Eight for one 18 for Cooper cup yesterday, Derek, Matthew Stafford was all over him.

10, 10 targets. I know the Eagles shut that down in the second half, but the first half it was smooth. So, but where else are we going?

Cause right now, you know, I mean, look, Gabe Davis is balling with the digs and Gabe Davis. You got to go that one. That's a good one right there. Devante, AJ Brown looks like one of the best wide receivers in the world right now. Yeah. The Eagles have pretty good ones too. They're off there. Tyreek DK and lock it.

So the fact that we're, we're, we're, we're naming, you know, tandems that could be ruled as such. I think you're making the case that this is an overreaction at this point in time, but again, this will all come out in the wash more wins, but I think Stafford looks good and all they got to do is just play a little bit better. They they've been in every game and just haven't finished a few of them, but I think the Rams are going to be, I think you could agree with this right now, right? Is this an overreaction? The Rams are going to be in the playoff on the end of the year.

I don't think that's an overreaction. I think they're going to be there. They're going to be there at the end, especially after having, having the tie break on Seattle head to head here after their first meeting a month ago. We weren't saying that.

Were we? No, no. I mean, they're taking it. If this is a month ago after that week, one win in Seattle, if you would come on the air and say that the Rams are going to be in the playoff on at the end of the year, that would have been an overreaction then, but not now.

Right? Not now. Not now.

They look like they're going to be there at the end. Not an over, not an overreaction. Rich, the 49ers are really good.

Um, yeah. Coming off of last night though, I think they would beat an all star team made up of the 31 other teams. Like if you just made up an all star team, 31 other teams and they had to play the 49ers, the 49ers still win. So an NFL pro ball team loses to the loses the San Francisco 40 at 100%. You're out of your mind.

This may be the wildest overreaction that you've had yet. You are mr. 49er. You think they're going to go undefeated this year?

I wouldn't say that they're going to go undefeated this year. So this is what you're basically saying is that the NFL like, so let's take my Holmes and Kelsey, right? Yep. And add in, add in Tyreke, Jamar chase, Jamar chase, right? Um, uh, a Chan, let's throw him in for a nice little bench. Okay.

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's get AJ Brown is wide receiver three. Um, and then defensively, uh, Aaron Donald along with Micah Parsons and along with TJ watt and get out of here. I think, come on 24, 21 Niners.

I just want this viral. So 49ers fans could get out of my mentions, dude. All I know is that you love coming up with topics about teams and players that I love to force me to say somebody or some team that I love is part of an overreaction. I just want the record to reflect 49ers fans and everyone in the Bay area. I said the Niners would win.

Rich said they would lose to the All-Star. Okay. I just want that out there. That's a good one. That's great. You cracked me up with that.

All right. Coming off of last night, uh, my McCarthy did not have a good game. And if the Cowboys missed the playoffs this year, they're going to have a new coach in 2024. Oh, that's, I think that's a fact.

Oh, I don't think that's an overreaction at all. And that's, you know, and this is, this is, um, there's something McCarthy knows too. Remember he came on a couple of weeks ago and I asked him about, you know, are you coaching for your job?

And he basically gave a terrific answer, which is everybody does that every year and things of that nature. But yo boy, I mean, you, you, this is, you know, you heard Jerry say, this is a measuring stick game last week. And then the Niners hit him over the head with the measuring stick and broke it off in him, you know?

And so come on. And then, you know, Jerry's was absolutely is talking about, this is a team that can win the super bowl. Then the fact that they might, they miss the playoffs. Oh, forget it. Um, yes, I think, and, and you know, that the Cowboys, uh, are, are not a team known for changing coaches.

I mean, Jason Garrett there forever and a day. Right. So, uh, I, I, I firmly believe that, but I don't believe they're going to miss the playoffs. So, Oh, well then that makes this next topic. Okay.

Well, when we can just kind of breeze through the NFC East is only going to have one playoff team, rich Eisen. I mean, come on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's not true. It's the Eagles and everybody else is just kind of, eh, eh, Dallas is definitely, oh, come on man.

Who, who, here's, here's the issue as well. Let's just give you your, your, what you're looking for right here. Dallas is nine wins, right? Okay. Now this is nine wins. Give me the other 10 win teams in the NFC. Well, can I have a tiebreaker? What if another team is nine and eight, but as a tiebreaker over Dallas, I mean, you're looking at, you're looking at Seattle and San Francisco in the West, right? Detroit would say Green Bay wins tonight, Detroit and Green Bay in the North.

Okay. So you think Green Bay is going to finish out the season better at three and two than the Cowboys at three and two for real. I'm saying if Green Bay is nine and eight, they might have a tiebreaker over Dallas.

He's nine and eight, or they might get to 10 and seven. I'm just giving you possible playoff and I'm going to say also, what if Atlanta and Tampa Bay make the playoffs in the South or new Orleans? We've been assuming this whole time that the South is only going to have one playoff team, but I'm not overreacting to Dallas looking as bad as they looked against the Niners two weeks after losing to Arizona.

I'm just not, I'm not going to take that cheese right now. They're, they're still a playoff team. And when the season ends, they and the Eagles will be in. And the, the team, if I had to give you the division where three playoff teams might come from Chris, I'll go NFC West right now. We just talked about how the Rams are going to be a playoff run.

Yeah, of course. A playoff hunt. So Dallas for a second, do you think Dak is a top 15 quarterback right now?

Oh boy. I don't know if we have time in the rest of this podcast to just go out. Cause you know, I like to keep it moving to go over 15 quarterbacks, but yeah, I think he's definitely in the top half of the league in quarterback. Come on, man. There's still a few quarterbacks in this league right now. Come on, come on. That was so, I mean, this might be the defining moment of Dax cowboys quarterback tenure.

I mean, he, he just can't beat the 49ers. It may just be, and you're not wrong when it all comes down to it, but I'll just call this an overreaction. All right, a few more on what we'll get you out into your London night. If Justin Jefferson is out multiple weeks, which it looked like it might be with that hamstring injury, the Vikings need to trade Kirk cousins ASAP. Um, I, I, I, um, I need to see the rest of the next couple of days about this injury and then the next couple of weeks, we've been talking about it. We've been dancing around the topic for a little while. And if Jefferson's going to be out two to three, four weeks, now's the time.

Hell yeah. Now's the time. Not now. Now's not the time. This is a, as you know, it's a midnight league, man. Trade deadlines not till the end of this month.

It's two more weeks, but this is something that I, I wouldn't be surprised if they have in their top drawer, just start calling around. And again, who, I don't know who else there is. Cause other than the jets, who, who would make a trade like that? And I don't know if the jets are going to see if Zach, you know, performs well against the Eagles coming off of a buy. Then they've got a game against the chargers and the giants before the trade deadline. If they'd even go do that right now, certainly if Rogers loves his coordinator and loves the kid and wants to have this seat kept warm for him to come back this year, then, then, then yeah. The jets won't make that move. If Rogers is working his ass off to try and come back in December and January, they're not trading for Kirk Cousins and not trading more draft capital for him.

If Zach plays as well as he's been playing or is improved as he played the last two weeks, but that puts the Vikings in a dire situation. That is for sure. That is for sure. What else?

All right. One of the big off fields stories from over the weekend, Jonathan Taylor got his big extension three years, 42 million from the Colts. Uh, his contract extension, however, is not going to affect the running back market. This was a singular one time thing for a one time player. Bingo.

Bingo. I don't think this is going to affect the running back market at all. In the same way we talked about it earlier in this program, it would be amazing if the MVP of the league is Christian McCaffrey and the offensive rookie of the year winds up being Devin HN, um, or the offensive player of the year winds up being Christian McCaffrey instead of Tyreek Hill and the offensive rookie of the year is Devin HN. So on one hand you see, well, somebody at the position is worth being the highest paid at the position. And on the other hand, you can just take somebody out of college and he's dynamite.

You even suggested in our overreaction Monday, uh, segment on our show, which you can also get on our YouTube page that, uh, a Chan is going to lead the league in Russia. He's only 50 yards behind McCaffrey and he's playing a game and a half less, right? So this is another point of just saying, why are we paying these guys?

Right? Uh, we paid Saquon Barkley. He misses three weeks of the high ankle sprain. Uh, Austin Eckler wanted all his money, you know, and we told him to get a trade and, uh, he, he doesn't, we bring him back. We give him a little extra money, you know, he hasn't played in, in a month. By the way, our fantasy team is still four and one dominating in the sleeper ghetto and the, uh, footballers league, even without Austin, that said, you know, all this makes nothing.

This makes no change at all. I'm just thrilled for Jonathan Taylor that he got his money. He deserves it.

And I can't wait to see what he does with it. All right. Last one, a huge win yesterday in Pittsburgh by the Steelers. However, despite the three and two records, still major, major issues on the offensive side of the ball for, I'm not going to go there. I'm not going to go there.

Really? Oh, hold on. Let me give you the numbers. Rich Eisen touchdowns on the year seven averaging only 16 points a game. Najee Harris has under 250 yards, three and a half yards per carry on the ground. They only average 289 yards per game. Yes.

Now that sounds like major problems offensively, but as long as 14 is healthy, they got to start finding him. So good. I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to go down this direction, Chris, because I don't want at Danny football 77 tweeting it, you know, although that might help us go viral, you know, they just got an avatar. Apparently it's got like a Steelers.

I don't know. I was showing that to Kurt Warner on the way to the game last, uh, on Sunday, just, you know, to tell them, you know, a lot of people think there's a burner count out there. Uh, but look, man, uh, you're right. The running game is terrible, but I think they have the answers. How's that they do look like they're having issues offensively, but they have answers. They have answers in the passing game in Pickens and that kid Jalen Warren, they got to get him the ball more. So they got some playmakers here. They got some plan makers here and they got a trigger man who's finding the light switch and he, he comes on strong in fourth quarters, brother and makes throws.

I saw it myself, Christmas Eve night. I called that game. So I'll just say for the moment, this is an overreaction, but I understand where you're coming from. I know that they have pieces that can help out and don't at us at Danny football 77, please keep us out of the burner counts.

You want none of that. All right. As we now finish up overreaction Monday, as always, um, we give predictions on what we believe we're going to overreact to next week. If I'm not mistaken, I said something along the lines of the Ravens are going to miss the playoffs will be something that we overreact to, or the Ravens are in deep trouble or something along those lines. I think you kind of got that one, but I still think that's an overreaction.

It is just three and two. I knew that the Steelers were going to come up with a win. I actually lone Wolf that on game day morning, we just didn't have a show to put that out there.

Otherwise, if I was in America to put the, uh, the lid on and howled, what do you have over there for, I know the, the, the lone Wolfs of London. Well, what do you have for your overreaction that we're going to be, uh, uh, your prediction? Here we go. Here we go. Last night we saw the Niners are the best team in the NFL by far prohibitive Superbowl favorites. They are at Cleveland next week. They're going to take care of business.

And then, you know, we're going to be over overreacting too rich. What do you got? The 49ers are going to go undefeated in the regular season this year. Okay.

Okay. It's going to be, it's all, it's going to be everywhere. First take the disputed undisputed, whatever the shows are. We're going to start talking about, Oh, look at the schedule.

I mean, they're only tough game. It's going to be against Philadelphia. Like they're going to undefeated regular season. I think you're going to be right. I think you're going to be right on that one.

I think I'm going to be right on this one too. Um, next week, even though this is an overreaction Monday show, what do you got? And the Cowboys, the Cowboys play on Monday night. Next week, I'm already going here and so fight against the chargers. They're going to lose to the Los Angeles chargers. Kellen Moore is going to dial it up for Justin Herbert coming off a buy and the chargers are going to win.

And the overreaction is going to be the Cowboys are missing the playoffs. Let's go. Here we go. You're already there, Chris. I know you've already landed on already there.

Two losses in the last three weeks. Oh, I'm already there. And so that's my prediction.

Although we won't know at this point next week. Um, but, uh, I will be landing from London on that Monday and we'll do next week's overreaction Monday in studio. Well done, Christopher. Well done. Great job, Rich. You look great. That'll wrap it up for this week in London, baby. Thank you. Greatly appreciate that.
