I'm a blue collar union guy. And now, they're friends. I'm the Buddies for Life, Frank. It was always Jersey Jerry. It was always Zach Gelb. This has never happened before, and I'm man enough to share it.

I don't, I'm man enough. And now, it's time to respect their NFL picks, only on The Zach Gelb Show. That's what I'm talking about. This is Zach Gelb Show on CBS Sports Radio. Time for our weekly conversation with Jersey Jerry from Barstool Sports.

First, though, you can think of O'Reilly Auto Parts for your car care needs, get guaranteed low prices and excellent customer service from the professional parts people at O'Reilly Auto Parts. Jersey Jerry, how you been? I'm okay. I'm okay, Zach.

Listen, in advance, I want to say this. If I start to, you know, shiver a little bit, I'm outside in the cold right now, working on a fire pit. Just, it's cold right now.

Let's just say that. It is freezing outside. Winter has finally come to the Northeast, Jersey Jerry. Yeah, something wrong with this like propane thing. I got no clue what's going on.

It's just, it's tough out here right now. I hope we don't have a catastrophe during these picks, so. How did we do last week?

That's what I want to know. Well, I did okay. You not so much. I got another game on you, so I took a 6-1 lead. I can't win in this league, man.

Well, you know what's crazy? So I watch you each and every week when they put you on Barstool Sports Advisors, and you have a good record on that show. I just think you picked the wrong game. Yeah, like you picked six or seven games on that show, Jersey Jerry.

Here you only picked three. You're just picking the wrong games because you got to be winning all those other games. I'll tell you what, I'm going to do something that I don't usually do. Whoever listens to the Zach El show, I'm going to go 3-0 this week. These are going to be my best bets.

Okay, you know what? You want to just go your three picks right out of the gate so we could just get them, or do you just want to go one for one like we usually do? We'll have to do it out the gate. I'm going Vikings minus four.

That's my favorite pick of the day. After that, my underdog play is going to be the Seahawks plus ten, and then I'm going to use, listen close, I'm going to use another underdog play. So I'm going 200 dogs this week. Give me the commanders plus six and a half. Okay, how about that? Jersey Jerry right out of the gate just giving us his picks.

He takes the Vikings minus four, Seahawks plus ten, and then the commanders plus six and a half. So then I will quickly give you my picks as well so we don't have you freeze to death because that wouldn't be good. And then get inside you crazy guy and get some warmth, alright? Like what are you doing outside to begin with?

I don't get that. I'll tell you what, I'm trying to fix this fire pick. Forget the fire pick. You make enough money at Barstool Sports. You have heat in your home.

I see your palatial yet not overly ostentatious estate. Forget the fire pick. It wasn't always the fire pick Jersey Jerry.

You got that right. Alright, I'm picking against my team. My team sucks. I think the Bengals are going to open up a can of whoop ass on the Patriots. Give me the Bengals minus three.

You took the commanders plus six and a half. I actually love the 49ers minus six and a half. I look at that game, I say why the heck are the 49ers a six and a half point favorite even though they're a really good team. Commanders have been a solid team this year so I think Vegas is begging me to plus the six and a half so I'll go the other way. And then I have to give you an underdog pick.

And you know what? For my underdog pick this week, I think this team is moving in the wrong direction. And they have been for the last few weeks but the other team has been playing great football. Kansas City is a ten point favorite. I think that's too many points so I will agree with you. I will go with the Seahawks plus the ten points. So I go the Bengals minus three, 49ers minus six and a half and the Seahawks plus ten and Jersey Jerry goes with the Vikings minus four, Seahawks plus ten and a half and the commanders plus six and a half as well. Happy holidays.

You got it. By the way, I hope your son isn't listening. I saw he was having some problems in the bathroom the other day that you were posting on social media. Did Santa get him something nice for Christmas? Yeah, Santa went all out this year. That's good. It was always Santa with Jersey Jerry. That's what they tell me. Did T.J. Watt get you a gift?

I'll tell you what, I don't know. I hope so. He better have. Like a nice autographed Jersey. Jerry, thanks for the support. You're the man. Love you. And sign that Jersey.

That's what T.J. Watt should do. I would love to see that. Well anyway, Jersey Jerry, always love the conversations with you throughout the year.
