ready we got some heat we got a lot to talk about hey man uh you know real quick this is the last this is the last day that 15 20 teams can think that they're good and might make the super bowl there's a lot of a lot of excitement come week one you know what i'm saying everybody all season They got their draft picks. They got their free agency pickups. They got their new coach hires. Everybody's settling in. Everybody thinks they can win Super Bowl. After this afternoon, the numbers are going to โ€“ people are going to know.

They're going to know right there. They're going to go, I don't think it's going to be us this year. We're getting ready. A lot of things are going to come down to reality. Yeah, except for the Browns. The Browns know what's good.

But other than the Browns, everybody else thinks that they could do it. Maybe the Browns and the Jets. I think the Browns are probably pretty certain they're not going to win the Super Bowl already. Yo, the last time the Browns was really on that we're going to win a Super Bowl joint was... Baker? Nah, before Baker.

I've never seen him good before Baker. The Texas quarterback, that was kind of like wilding, but like he was good. Come on, yo. Y'all know... Texas quarterback. I don't remember the Browns being good.

Baker, bro. are you no more colt mccoy no no come on bro yeah colt mccoy did go to texas though he did nah bro this is a this is a well-named person yo colt mccoy i think was the best backup in the nfl for like five years i feel like there was like a little stretch where i felt like he was the most competent backup. Yeah. He did that shit. He did that. Who was the guy, though? I'm trying to think.

I don't remember the Browns being good before Baker Mayfield. He won their first playoff game. I'm talking about potential and hype. Hype? Yeah. Johnny Manziel, bro.

Johnny Manziel. Oh, my God, bro. Yeah, you're right. You're right. That shit. What Johnny was doing at Alabama was fire. yeah he was super nice and out texas ain't that my bad right now he he beat he beat alabama that boy went he went into tuscaloosa on a saturday afternoon and got them out of the club i couldn't believe it that little dude and he was high as a kite homie was homie was a rookie he was out there doing mad lines him him von miller was in the mix too i don't nobody talk about von miller like that but him josh gordon and johnny manzel was really the three-headed They really was three horsemen.

Obi-Wyla. Let me tell you. Well, yes. But having Josh Gordon, having Mike Evans on the other side, you know, you could have put Charles' quarterback and Charles would have cooked. Oh, my God. He did.

It was Johnny Manziel. Mike Evans was a man out there. He just threw that bitch up. And Mike Evans was like, stir. Mike Evans is still cooking to this day. Can you believe that?

I saw him play well. No, he's very durable. Very good. It's weird. He has a weird, you know, in the same, it's kind of like in the same way as like we kind of disrespect, people kind of disrespect Zay Flowers because he's small. Like his stature as a wide receiver is like not ideal.

People, it's like disrespected. I think Mike Evans is like the other way. like Mike Evans is so big that it's almost like you don't give it the credit that it deserves because he's not the Wiggles it's not nothing to look like special it's just like oh he bigger than people but he gets it done I think he holds the record for the most 1,000 yard seasons in a row right I don't know if it's the record but he definitely did it like 8 or 9 times I didn't know he was such a football like gym hit I didn't know he was like super locked in with the weights and everything but it makes sense though. Yeah, he's a dog for sure The dog so he's tied with Jerry rice, of course Jerry rice With 11 straight 11 straight bro. That's a whole career right there. That's incredible Any good any good based around how they used him yesterday the other day. He could do it in in San Francisco.

He's going to be a part of it. They don't have, I think, scribbling went down. They don't have nobody to throw to. It's him and Kittle. And Deshaun Love, right? Right, and Deshaun Love.

If you get out of jail. Is he going to jail? He's a crew. Hey, yo. I know this isn't football talk, yo. But on the app, I'm going to I'm going to create a way so we can call people on their phone and they can just join in.

Oh, that's what we can have like we on the air. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, that's fine. But yeah, so how are you? Well, we're about to start week one and I think the Rams season is already over. if if it feels like i know but it kind of feels like they're gonna have they're gonna have the they're gonna have the same situation as the ravens had last year where like there was just like this overwhelming amount of expectation and the and the talent's all there and like failed failure to launch like we launched we launched last year we went we went into buffalo and derrick henry started going crazy and derrick uh deandre hopkins was catching catching bombs we launched and then we and then we sputtered the defense didn't hold it down we gave up the big lead and then we never picked it back up i feel like they just launched and then we and they know aaron donald and then miles garrett goes out there and does exactly what aaron donald does back in america zero zero burger nothing just out there for cardio you're not saying that that's an overreaction a week one overreaction oh this is what i'm here for it i'm that's exactly what i'm i think that's what you're supposed to do is it is it not over is it not time to overreact this is exactly the time to overreact i'm overreacting i'm calling it now the ram season is never going to get it going i i saw matt stafford looking old i see poop in the cool with juice i saw blake corn with juice and that was it that defense that defense low-key ain't wasn't really that good last year like it's got it got talented people it's got a good front line but like that secondary they kind of porous out there and i don't know i mean everybody loves mcduffie but like he's more of a he's more of like a utility cornerback than like than like a shutdown outside corner he's like a use them in the slide bring them in on blitzes like he does like he's like a honey badger type of type of player so i don't know if you tell me miles garrett's not going to be on defensive player of the year look miles guard can't play against the ravens and the stealers and the bingles offensive uh you know he can't just disrespect afc north no more Now you got to go against Trent Williams week one. You got to go against Trent Williams again.

He in your division now. The best offensive tackle in the world is in your division. Do something. He went out there and said, ah, my knee hurt. Well, I mean, to be fair, though, he'll cook against, like, the Cardinals. He ain't going to play because he hurt now.

He got to play against real talent. Now he hurt. But you know what? The Rams will be probably all right, though. I think they can probably still win, like, 10 games. I mean, their offense is still solid.

All right. So when I say when I say the season's over, that's kind of like I'm not I'm OK, that's too far. I'm not saying like they're going to like Mr. Mr. Playoffs. I'm just saying I'm saying that the idea of them being a super team is done.

I've seen I've seen enough. I've seen enough for the you know, I know I know who the Wizard of Oz is. They're not they're not they're not big in the program. Like, they got to go out there week in, week out and win games. And I don't know if they're going to be able to do it that much. Like you said, 10 wins?

Sure. They might get to 10. Let's bring that schedule up, bro. Bring it up. Hold on. Let me make sure I'm burning.

Cardinals is going to be two wins. Right. I don't know about that. Divisional games ain't just gimme's. Don't do that. Don't do that.

Fuck yes. Let's go. You're catching me off guard with these takes, bro. I wasn't expecting you to say that. Say what? Because, you know, I got them going to the Super Bowl.

So, the Rams. I feel like everybody jumped on the Rams me mad quick. And I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I don't get why.

Why did we jump on the Rams? Why did we jump on them? It's like, yo, I just watched them. You know what I'm saying? Like, they just, they couldn't beat the Seahawks. The Seahawks didn't get worse.

They couldn't beat the Seahawks like three times. Yeah. And the Seahawks didn't get worse. So like why can they But it's like Odette they got better But it's like we'll see You know what I'm saying We'll see how much better You know what I'm saying We haven't seen Myles I don't know I think Myles Garrett's a beast I do think he's a beast But They definitely beat the Giants next week Right Monday night Says who You don't know what the Giants are We don't know what the Giants are But we know what they're not We know what they're not. They got a tough, look, the Rams got a tough schedule. They got a first place schedule bro Yo they got three primetime games in a row Yeah they not going to I seen enough The Eagles the Bills Jeez.

You know what? I'm going to go on the line and say they beat the Bills. They got to play the Seahawks twice. They got to play the 49ers twice, bro. That's brutal. They got to play the Cowboys, the Bucks, the Chiefs.

The Commanders? The Cardinals is their only. The Cardinals and Commanders might be their only off weeks. Right. And the Commanders can ball. Well, Raiders.

Because, you know. Raiders. I count four weeks where they might not have to bring their fastball. And they can win. Yeah. They can win.

But all the other weeks. Bro, honestly, let's see what the Giants do today. Because I'm still not convinced the Giants are a competent team. Like, you know, you already know what, like, Matt Nagy and fucking, uh, uh, not Cam Cameron. Who's the other offensive coordinator over there that came after? Uh, Greg Roman.

You already know Nagy and Roman about to just put together some bullshit plays that's not going to work. If we free up, yo, I would, like, do a quarter of something live. live on you know put the live keys in there and just just have the jokes ready oh for the oh for the john's game for the john's game tonight bro yeah bro it's gonna be going to be cinema dog i'm trying to tell you look like i i don't know i'm i'm kind of like at a weird spot in my life where i thought i knew football but because the ravens haven't won in a few years and thought they were supposed to win i'm like confused at what yeah i'm looking at sometimes this john is not going to work john harbaugh is about to run jackson dart like he's lamar jackson right and it's not going to work bro it's not going to work it's not going to work at all and it's just going to be funny to watch it's going to be it's going to be funny to watch it implode he already he already probably hate malik neighbors because because he's going to try treatment league label like remember when they trying to get lamar to come back they kept they they was trying to like remember john was going to the going to the press conferences saying things like oh yeah we just you know it's up to lamar he's been cleared i believe like they're putting it on like they was trying to like pressure him into playing before it was his time right that they they're gonna do the same thing the neighbors they just they they just want to you know what i'm saying they they just they want they want their buck out on the on the field they don't want you out here thinking about your career and your long-term potential earning they don't want you worried about that type of that's why motherfuckers be mad in the nba or load management bro is extending their careers it's about low management we got we got we got kevin durant pushing 40 about to go out here and drop 30 every night steph curry about to play 24 everybody playing today 40 you think that happens if they're not low managing no no way you know what i'm saying Like that's just if you're telling me they can keep getting bites of the apple and getting 60 million a year 70 million a year 80 me bro. I'm sitting out Hey, what about what about defense though? What you mean? Here's the thing. I don't think really neighbors is healthy because john they asked john harbaugh a couple of days ago About his availability john harbaugh not quote.

I think he's ready to go Do you think the exact that's that kind of that's that kind of language that puts it in the players court to be like Yo, if the player don't play that made he a bitch I'm saying I I'm saying he hurt not injured, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know You Charles you play football. You know what it is. Are you hurt? Are you injured right? Well, you got a little tweak of your little store that day that ain't enough to not play but when you're trying to get a contract and you're trying to think about how long you're trying to make your career last hey man waiting to plan plan putting the best film that you can on on the on the table is the best option yeah you got to think about yourself man your career you know any you already got one major and just an injury so exactly but what was you saying what what was you saying about what about defense like i feel like i feel like staff and kd they always want to get that those points with their with their game but i'm talking about from a defensive perspective it's hard to play defense when you get old oh yeah your facts are just not there for sure um that's a fact that's a fact but but when you're but but also you're smarter yeah so like you kind of can anticipate better you don't have to be as fast right i don't have to move with you i know where you're going right you know what i'm saying so it's like you it's okay to lose a step when if you're if you're a top tier thinker of the game right and then bone bruises hurt a lot more when you're older too. They're gonna stay.

And they heal slow. Yeah. Yo, I didn't know that KD made that much money in his career. This dude is a smart dude, yo. As far as business and investments, I think he even invested in the Baltimore arena. This dude flips his money.

Like on some ice cube, billionaire, don't say nothing type stuff. Just keep it on the low. yeah katie's came i might be a billionaire bro he is he's well he's very smart because he doesn't have a wife and kids so well that money not yet it's it's interesting that's a it's an interesting uh conversation also i i'm a strong proponent that like most most of you niggas most of you niggas need a girl you need a girl you need something serious you need something stable like kevin durant proves that you don't necessarily but i just feel like from a structural standpoint most dudes don't be like we're not our best self when we're not living for a woman yeah we not when we when we don't got like a wife and kid like behind us like the we be doing and our with our own self is like not always the best play yeah i think i think kd was just hooping you know at this time any he it's not going to be genuine because he any girl's going to say i love you to him so he at that point where drake's at like i'm supposed to find the one where any woman would go with me and i feel like for kd just being a real dude and can see through that bs he's at like a stance though he's like like if i would have when i was 14 15 16 it'll be real but of course you like me i'm a billionaire i'm a seven foot billionaire and and and he's a real deal like like passionate about the sport of basketball yeah like he's really obsessed yeah yeah he's not hanging out he's not doing like he's he's he's dieting he's he kicking back playing the game when he got some down time and other than that he's at them getting shots up working on his game yeah so it's tough it's tough being famous bro like being on anybody wanted telling you i mean nobody telling you no i mean not no it's not it's not like that but i mean but yeah it's it's over it's like an overwhelming amount of yeses everybody on your dick for exactly yeah man that's terrible i need somebody to be real with me exactly so it's like it's easier just to kick it with your boys or just lay low kick it solo because it's like you know saying most chicks ain't really gonna be and that's and that's another thing it's like like real it's like i'm telling you like that the concept of i'm not i don't have love to offer you like the love that you're looking for like i don't have that because i love basketball so much i'm so i'm so into my career i'm so into doing what i gotta do for myself that i couldn't possibly he'll he'll chill after he about to retire though like probably after it's over he gonna pop out with like carry hilson or something yo yeah speaking of that girlfriend he just doesn't have a wife you know exactly he's probably ran numbers oh yeah love you getting the 49ers love jersey number seven hey yo they selling yo that's nasty oh i know i know it's so nasty More love jerseys have sold than Brock Purdy jerseys. Yo, I wonder if Fabulous got one. That's so nasty. Yo, I'll tell you this. It might be him for Halloween.

Yo, really a scammer, bro. Yo. He really affiliated himself with a professional team and pulled it off. I think he might get it off because it seemed like he got mental health issues. And that shows to be a way to get out of stuff nowadays. you know, split personality disorder or something. If he had a good lawyer, I think he can get out.

He probably still got to pay the money back. My man said nowadays, like, like people ain't crazy. People ain't always been crazy. If you're crazy, you're crazy. No, yo, if you ever been to a jail or around a jail, most of those people have mental health issues. Obvious, obvious.

Most people in jail have mental health issues. Yeah. But it's just that. They used to have asylums and they don't do that no more. So now everybody. It's messed up.

General population, yeah. Yeah I think we also gotta hold some of these women accountable too to because What are they gonna be What they don walk around literally with a helmet like you really think oh I mean, I mean, I don't I don't even know if they need to be held accountable They just straight up are being you know, like Hey, man You you know how I said a bird trap He just said he just had a couple bird traps and he caught some birds He's like, yo, look, I'm going to show you the chain, bird track. I'm going to show you the car, bird track. I'm going to show you the house, I'm going to show you the crib, bird track. Got you. So if you're rich, so wait a minute, Brian.

So help me understand this psychology, right? So like you're rich, but you want me to give you money? Nah, I'm rich and I got connections. And now I'm about to put you on D. See, you don't hang out with millionaires and billionaires like I do. But they put me on to this situation where if I can be a low-tier investor, give $10,000, and then it's going to flip and be $100,000 by next year.

So I'm about to just put โ€“ and he's just doing that. If you're just talking like that and I don't already believe you, you can get 10 racks off of this. And you know what's crazy? a lot of like whoa there are beautiful women that had that same team bro that you know and you you invest 200 that might give you three you invest four and then when you drop that 10 000 yeah it's a real thing then they gone right it's like that you might you might they might have showed you how they made 500 into a thousand right i showed you how they made a thousand into 1500 he was like oh okay cool and they gave it to you and then like that they said well the more the more you invest the more the more it flip and then like so then i could 10 000 i could turn that into 15 for real like oh bet here you go 10 000 and then and then in the wind in the way i hear from him and man long he done moved he didn't move to texas now yo it's funny yo uh we gotta get we gotta get Brian on the beach running around. I would have looked better at him. His body wasn't even like that of an NFL player. It was like, bro, who's falling for this?

No, nah, nah, nah. I'd be in the summer catching balls with Tyreek Hill and Odell Beckham. Yeah. Sure, buddy. But he did know them. He might have been one of those dudes that was nice in high school and middle school.

I think he did play basketball at the college level. Okay. It's just that far as the NFL level or even a college level. What, Eddie? What happened? This is completely off topic.

Sorry. If you want me to tell you, I can tell you, but it's completely off topic. It don't matter. So I'm watching the Le Mans game, League of Soccer. And so I placed a bet on them to win today because I knew Lance had played in Champions League and they were going to be a little bit tired. And for some odd reason, DraftKings completely dropped the ball on thinking that this team was trash.

They're up 2-0 now. and apparently Carl had tailed my bet and now he's texting me like, yo, how did you even know this shit was gonna happen? I'm like, dog, I watch soccer, nigga. Yeah, bro. Yeah. Because Carl be giving you tips on stuff and don't be having no insight. He just be having a feeling.

Carl, he just be having a good, like, yo, put all your money on this tonight, ride it out, and then they go out there and get smoked. dude. They like, yo, Carl, why did you think that? It was like, yo, I just felt like, I just feeling it. I was just like, yo, don't involve me in none of your feelings. I want inside tips. Yeah.

Like for me, I think I want to know when that jump going on period. I need to know. Yo, I think we're going to throw four touchdowns today and I'm so confident that I put, I put some money up. No, I mean, but that's, that's a reasonable expectation based around the the only thing that keeps lamar from having three and four and five touchdown games is the fact that we have derrick henry derrick henry derrick henry and and we are really yeah and yeah exactly so there's just like that's what particularly that's why i'd be so that's why i'm so sick when he has five touchdown games it's just like y'all nicks don't have a y'all y'all don't have a chance if he's out here if he's throwing five studies y'all he could have been running he might he may have 85 yards on the ground at this point like hey but hear me out though i'm thinking our defense gonna get some turnovers oh yeah you know oh yeah so bro i'm telling you bro i'm telling you this might finally be what i believe we're about to witness is going to be a a remarkable raven season but it's going gonna look a little different because it's gonna clearly not have to be it's gonna clearly not rely on Lamar Lamar still gonna be an amazing piece to the puzzle he's gonna have his moments and do things of his nature but the defense is actually gonna produce turnovers bro we're gonna be getting short fields yeah Lamar never had a short field in the playoffs bro can you imagine they telling me I'm bad in the playoffs and I had to go from the goddamn 15 or 20 every single drive I never got the ball at the 50. I never got the ball in my opponent's territory. What?

My team gets zero turnovers in nine years and eight years in the playoffs. My team has one turnover. It's crazy. Absurd. I heard Minter said off the rip. He said, I already talked to Lamar.

Told him about, he's very excited. I told him, man, don't even worry about it, man. Just go out there, protect the football, make sure we're being clean, protect the football. Let the defense get you the ball back a couple times, and then we'll turn it up from there. I love that, dog. That's that energy we need.

That's what we've been looking for, son, the team that's going to work with Lamar to help him and help everybody get to the next level. We needed a coach to help take us to the next level. They didn't need to coach Lamar. you can tell because they they had him out there with greg roman and he and he won an mvp then they gave him great they give him munkin in one year immediately wins another mvp and then has a stellar year the second year for that just because they implemented a passing attack they didn't even had nothing really disciplined to it but it was just like yeah we got we got routes that like aren't running into each other anymore there's there's legitimate spacing out here lamar do your thing all right let's look at the uh you wanted to do predictions right so oh yeah for For the game. For the whole week? For this week, right? Yeah.

All right. So let's go through it. I still got the post. Yeah. Sure. I mean, today we played the Colts.

Yo, we got some. You got the Bengals or the Bucs, bro? I got the Bucs. I got the Bengals. They're at the Bengals. They're at the Bengals.

Hold on. Hold on. Charles, why you may start with the Saints and the Lions? What are we doing? All the games or just the games in our division? Why is it an empty square?

Hold on. Let me go to the cross. Oh, we're just doing a game out of divisions. I thought it was on the whole league. I thought we were doing the whole league, but you started with the Bucks and Bengals. Technically, the Saints and Lions are first.

I'm on the NFL page. You want to share your screen? No, I'm looking at your screen right now, bro. The first one was the left on the left. Scroll down. He's saying Bucks and Bucks.

Right. order and we can we can start with the bucks and back but it's going we go left to right right i'm lost bro yeah right there right there oh my bad you're right all right i mean we should probably we should probably write this down right like i mean so we can like take a look at this later i'm writing it down you writing it down all right but all right so the saints and lions I'm going with the Lions, of course. Yeah, I got the Lions. I'm going to go with the Lions as well. I got the Lions. All right. So all three of us have Lions.

I got it being a good game, though. I think the Saints are going to be better than people think they're going to be. I don't have it being a good game. All right. Oh, yeah. The Saints don't got the Mario Davis no more, either.

Yeah. I'm going with the Bengals. They're at home. Yeah, I'm going with the Bengals as well. So, Brian's going with the Bucs. I'm going with the Bucs over the Bengals.

Baker Mayfield has great Septembers. Joe Burrow has bad Septembers. That's just, you know, I just count on that. Yeah, Mayfield just got paid. He just got paid. He's going to come out there ripping.

Emeka Ibuka is healthy. I think Emeka Ibuka about to be the next He about to be on some JSN shit They all got the same shit and he got the right build. Crystal Lave is like that too, but he's kind of slight. He be getting pushed around all I got some questions about their defense, though. Yeah. Who the Bucs?

But besides Vita Vea, I mean, I don't really know if the Bucs are really going to stop teams this year. And they really weren't that effective last year. And their running game, to me, is sort of a question mark. But we'll see. I mean, that should be a good game. I mean, it should be a high-scoring game because we know the Bengals ain't stopping a damn thing.

So it's probably going to be like a 34-31 type game for real. Yeah. That's what I'm saying, too. 34 31 but I got bucks over Bengals okay I got the slightest of the Bengals but right it could go out way all right Raiders and call Charles yeah I mean got the Bengals I got the Bengals I don't have it being close though all right I got the thing was winning by 10. Oh 10 or better All right. Ravens versus Colts. Ravens.

Ravens. A-V-E-N-S. Yeah, yeah. I think we all in alignment with this. I actually have it not being close. I think it's probably going to be in like a 33-10 type of game.

We're going to be able to score throughout the game, and their offense is not going to get off the ground until they'll get a field goal early, and then they'll get a touchdown later. You think Luke plays perfect today? or you think he misses something? I think Luke is fine today. Fine today? So hitting all the field goals? Yeah, first, it's in Lucas Hall Stadium, so we're dealing with it's indoors, no wind, no elements, just an away game.

I think he'll be fine. I think the Ravens will win. I think it's going to be a low-scoring game. I think it's going to be more like a 24-10 type game. Colts' defense actually isn't that bad. They're actually pretty good.

But I don't think offensively they're going to be able to get much downfield. I mean, Alec Parrish just came back from an injury. He's a bust or boom type of guy. He's either going to catch a bomb or he's not going to do anything. And then they also lost Michael Pittman. You know, so I think the running lanes for Jonathan Taylor going to be not too too big Tyler Warren is good However, I think our defense gonna be able to wrap him up.

So yeah, I don't I don't think the Colts are gonna score very easily So I mean they'll probably get a touchdown in the field goal, but I think I think we'll we'll score three touchdowns on him It's like 21 21 time Yeah, I think I feel like the game will like we will come out of this game and it's gonna be like a a resounding understanding that the Ravens are back. The last couple years was like the defense wasn't where it needed to be, but it's back on track now. Yeah. Going with the Jags, they're at home. I like the Jags. I think the Browns are going to lose this one.

I think the Browns are going to lose, but I think it's going to be a close game. I think it's going to be like 13-10. I think the Browns are not going to be able to move the ball much, but I just don't really trust the Jags. Something about them. I'm bullish on Lawrence, bro. I am.

I think he's getting to his prime, understanding his game. He's running the ball when they give it. Yeah, I got to be in 24-10, Jags. But I don't really see them, but here's the thing. The Browns don't suck, bro. I mean, all these defensively.

Defensively, they still a juggernaut. 24 is not a big score, though. 24 is like three touchdowns. Yeah, but I think the quarterback hasn't played in a couple years. The speed of the game. Also, can he see more than one read? Can he play in the NFL without Deshaun, I mean, without Hopkins. He was opening.

He's not going to do much. I mean, he didn't have Hopkins when they went to the playoffs a couple years back before he got injured. I mean, I think they're not going to have him do much, though, bro. There's going to be check downs and screens and running the ball. I think the running backs are going to run the ball at least 30 times in this game. Unless the game gets out of hand, which I really don't think is going to, but you don't know what the Jaguars are going to throw out there.

The best receiver, Michael Thomas, had a down year last year, right? We don't know if they don't really have packages like that for Travis Hunter. Like, it's just so many unknowns with these dudes. Are you calling the Browns to win this one? I'm not calling the Browns to win it, but I think it's going to be a close game. I think it's going to be a low-scoring, close game, 13-ton. 13-ton.

Maybe 17-ton. All right, Brown, where you at? Yeah, I'm in the same spot as Eddie. Okay. I think the Browns put up a good fight. ultimately they lose but yeah they have trouble scoring they probably score like 7 or 10 but they lose 17 or 10 it doesn't it doesn't really feel like it doesn't really feel like the Jags just missed a couple opportunities or the Browns might have got a couple turnovers and didn't do nothing with it like it just Jets and Titans who cares who's the worst right who cares I'm going with the Jets The Titans are at home I'm going to go with the Jets I mean I think the Jets are just This much better Than the Titans But honestly This game is going to be nasty I don't think anybody is going to watch it Outside of Tennessee And that small part of New Jersey Alright We ain't going to spend too much time on it But, oh, yeah, Brian, what you got? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I think the Jets surprised the Titans today. Geno Smith's a better quarterback right now than what's his name down in Tennessee. Okay. I would agree with that. Bills and Texans, bro, I might take a gamble on this one, bro. I'm thinking about it.

I'm not taking a game. I think the Texans have the best defense in the NFL right now, or at least top three, and I think they're going to beat the Bills. I think Josh Allen is going to suffer in this game, and I think the Texans are going to beat them about 27 to 13. What? See, I was thinking that, but a healthy Josh Allen can't be stopped. But I'm going with the Texans, too.

This is what's so interesting. It's so interesting how like Josh Allen gets pegged as unstoppable, but then I'd be seeing games like point of the last time he played football. And then I can also point to the last time he played the Texans where he went 10 for 30. You're right. He had 95 yards or 65 yards all game. so like that dude can do that kind of stuff so I when he plays against good defenses he be folding he be buckling he had four turnovers against the Broncos like this dude's not like that and I just you know we can all agree that Texas defense is better than the Broncos it is like that yeah yeah but but but But they are really a running team. I'm saying that they started.

That connection might be good. I mean, it seems like that that DJ Moore, I know he's a little old, but still. It's the same. It's the same Buffalo Bills. It's Joe Brady. It's Josh Allen.

Like we know what they got, bro. Like that, that he didn't have a number one receiver little thing. That was never the thing because he had fucking Stefan Diggs and it looked the exact fucking same. Nothing changed. Brian, but Brian, you also just mentioned a reason why I'm also going with the Texans. Joe Brady's the head coach.

Yeah. Which means this is Joe Brady's first game head coaching. Yeah. Texas, them boys ain't no rookies. They know what they doing down there. Man, I feel like.

Jamarca Ryan is a fucking monster. He know where he had a coach. Yeah, I feel like. I don't know, man. I feel like Buffalo missed their window for real. All right, so all three on the Texans, bro.

Yeah. You're on with the Steelers. Falcons and Steelers. I'm going with the Steelers. 2-0 is a crash out. 2-0 is not even playing. I know. It's hamstring or something.

Cooper Rush. Wait a minute. What? Yeah, he heard it a couple days ago. Yeah. 2-0 is out. Penix ain't ready yet.

Hey, yo, put the whole house on this game. Yeah, so Cooper Rush ain't going to do it. The Steelers are going to win this game. All right. Yeah. The Bears and the Panthers.

Oh, that's a lot. I think the Panthers are going to be feisty this year. I think the Panthers are going to be feisty this year. I think at home, home opener, I think they're going to hold serve, bro. I don't know who the Bears are. Yeah, I ain't really, you know what I'm saying?

When they came to Baltimore, was it last year? I'm kind of kidding. Oh, go ahead. What did you say? I thought we went to Chicago. We beat them in Chicago, right?

Or they came here. I don't know. Chicago came to Baltimore. I watched that game. I was drunk. But we were so bad.

We were so bad. It was such a bad watch. We were like, offense just couldn't get nothing going. We beat the Bears. Pretty convincingly. So it's like, I don't really, like, I know they had a little run and I know people love Caleb.

Caleb be making, I feel like Caleb is like a highlight quarterback, but like, but like the substance of how he shows up playing and play out, it's not there. Yo, the zone that he gets in when he had down by three touchdowns and it's almost impossible. You all talk about that. Why are they down by three touchdowns? Because he was not in the zone. I don't like.

I don't. The odds be like 1%, 5%. The fact that he can lock in and the fourth down convert, he is special. He has something that most quarterbacks don't have. But the thing about it is, bro, when you say stuff like that, it's reminiscent of how people feel about Joe Burrow or how people feel about Justin Herbert. He just has this special thing, but it never โ€“ like, we don't see it, though.

Like, Justin Herbert is a perfect example. Like, yo, he's just got this โ€“ like, everybody that talks to him is like, yo, he's the best quarterback they've ever seen. He's going to be the best. He's going to go out as a Hall of Famer. We're just like, yo, can he win a playoff game? Can he just win one?

Can he go out in the playoffs and not throw three interceptions one time? Nah, nah, but when he โ€“ yo, that lock-in when you're down by three touchdowns and fourth down conversions, I've only seen a couple quarterbacks be able to lock in on that level. and that's all but i'm not talking about like the whole package but that lock-in factor that is i i get it i i get it i i appreciate i i do understand how that's like a big deal because it's you know so you need you need big balls right when you go down you need somebody that's going to be unbothered and just going to rip through it when when the chips are down no doubt but sometimes the chips don't got to be down sometimes the quarterback is the reason why the chips is down. I want somebody that's not going to shoot me in my foot. He does. He makes great plays. He's a highlight quarterback. the potential, he has all the potential too.

No, yeah. The potential, yeah. He's cool. I'm going with the Panthers as well. I'm going with the Bears. I think the Bears are improved this year.

And I think the Bears offense is going to be very good. I think the Bears is going to beat them and it's not going to be close. I think that's a fair take. I'm kind of growing on the Panthers because I live out here. I'm taking a chance on that. Calling for the upset.

I think that's the upset. If I had to look for an upset this week so far, that's the first one that popped up so far. Alright. All right. Wow, man. Week one is coming out with some heavy hitters, yo.

Bangers, right? Yeah, so I think the Packers have been all in the news. They don't know who the running back is. They've been dealing with this and that. You know, Micah Parsons still ain't in there, so the defense ain't quite there. Tucker Craft is back, so that gives their offense a little boost with the tight end position.

But on the road, Minnesota improved offense with a competent quarterback. with assets, with skills. That defense is going to be well coached by Brian Flores, per usual. So I think I got the Vikings in a close one, 23-20. I agree with everything you said, bro, but I'm still going with the Packers. Okay. Yeah, I'm going with the Vikings.

I think it's going to be a high-scoring game. the thing is going to be relatively high school, 31-27. Yeah, I think Brian said, Vikings have a well-improved team. They got a competent quarterback. Listen, with the worst QB in the NFL last year, they went 9-8. That should tell you the thing. That's it.

J.J. McCarthy was now the third quarterback. We're kind of forgetting that Brian Flores is a beast when it comes to defense. The only reason why I'm going to say it's going to be kind of a high scoring because I, you know, Jordan loving them boys can play Christian Watson's a hell of a wide receiver as well. Um, but you know, it's kind of like, I don't know if they can do it on the road for real. So yeah, I'm going, I'm going with the Vikings as well.

All right, bro. So I got the package on that one. Um, dolphins and Raiders. I'll start off with this one. Cause the Raiders on my team. The Raiders are probably going to win this game.

It's going to be a very ugly, nasty game that nobody is going to want to watch. It's going to be like fucking 14 to 13 type shit. And it's not because the Raiders are any good. The Raiders are actually pretty bad. But the Dolphins are probably the worst team in the NFL. I mean, we just call it like it is.

I mean, offensively, they only got Malik Willis and A. Shannon. I don't even know if A. Shannon going to have good yards like that. Defensively, they're a hot fucking mess. The Raiders at least got pieces on offense.

Kirk Cousins, at least he can throw the ball 10 yards. Ashton Gentry is a hell of a running back. I think they're just that little. Say it again? I do got a pass rush. I got a defense.

The Raiders? Yeah, we still got Max Crosby. We got a couple of dudes on him. You know, But we're not, I won't say like we're good by any stretch of the imagination, but we're better than the Dolphins. The Dolphins have nothing. I'm going with you on that one, Raiders.

And I'm going with the upset. I think the Raiders aren't very good. And I think if the Dolphins are going to get any wins this year, this would be the one. And also. On the road. And also.

Yeah, yeah. And also they have been hearing all of the chatter and the chit you and every other person that come on it talked about the Dolphins very disparagingly All offseason nobody giving them a chance Oh, they suck. This is the worst. It's a bunch of bad. And they do have not much going on with the roster. But they've grown and they play football for a living.

And so the margins aren't that big. And so I just think that when you're dealing with a quarterback like Malik Willis, he's not a prototype quarterback. He's not a stand-in-the-pocket guy. That gives your team a chance. Your offense has a chance play for play, even when you got Max Crosby, because you can get away. And you can tilt the field a little bit.

It's crazy that RG is out to lead and Kirk Cousins is out here getting his money. I let Swig owes RG3 some paper, bro. Wow. Just out of curiosity, Brian, who is the โ€“ In that playoff game. Who is the Dolphins starting wide receivers? Just out of curiosity.

Parker Washington is the โ€“ No. Parker Washington. The light-skinned dude. Malik Washington, you mean? Yeah, Malik. Malik Willis.

No, Malik Washington. It's Malik Washington. Yeah. Who's Parker Washington? Does he play for the Jaguars? I think so.

Yeah. And then you got Chris Bell. Yeah, he plays for the Jaguars. Yeah, exactly. Chris Bell. Lee Douglas rookie.

Is Chris Bell a rookie? Yeah. Chris Bell's a rookie. Oh, yeah. He nice, though. He's a third-round pick.

Yeah, he might be nice, though. he was he was a he wanted him i i haven't heard a lot but i knew he was i forget i feel like he went to like tcu or something i feel like he's nice and they're starting tight end is greg dolce dolce oh yeah i'm telling you bro it doesn't matter because i think because it doesn't matter well the reason why i'm saying it is because having a quarterback they can throw and scramble it makes it so guys who don't usually get open can get open in the second window the way that lamar jackson had willie sneed and the mother boys looking like something like they like you don't need you don't have to be a a1 guy to get to be useful to a guy who can create 14 seconds they can create 12 seconds play for play so that's why that's why those guys are so dangerous they just it's just hard to find them they can like they can actually be invasive malik is one malik is one of the ones that can kind of like he gave us fits if you remember when he played us so are you going with the raiders but he was playing on a competent team though he was playing on he's playing i mean there was i mean no more yeah romeo dobbs at wide receiver them wide receivers ain't out there and golden hasn't become nothing yet like who was he throwing to tuppy crap was already hurt who's he throwing to i mean but they also i mean it was a competent I mean, listen, the Packers are a good team. I mean, it was a competent team. I'm saying the Dolphins right now have nothing. The Packers were โ€“ the reason why we thought the Packers were a good team was because when they had a tight end and they had that pass rush with Michael Parsons with a good coach and a solid quarterback, you see, okay, and these wide receivers become something, they could really be dangerous. Once Tucker Craft got hurt and then Michael Parsons wasn't there, nobody thought the Packers was going to win nothing. so like like this idea that they're a good team they're a good team when they have all their pieces i'm not i'm not so threatened by them as a real as like as a good team until they have their pieces and mike is not there so yeah i'm not i'm not on the packers i'm actually like way off of them i think if anything won't come in last place in that division i think the packers might because jordan love's not good like why do we why do people keep saying jordan loves good i don't get He's solid he's solid to me. I mean sometimes you do some fourth quarter like scratching his stuff, but he's solid I would say Yeah, you know what he does is what?

I was just even a starting quarterback. All he does is win. Yeah, he looked good That's the last time I saw him in the playoffs. He looked all right though Actually, all right, so you going with the Raiders of the Dolphins. I'm going with them No, no the Dolphins. Yeah, Dolphins Dolphins on the move.

You and me go with the Raiders. Okay. Charles. All right. So, Cardinals or the Chargers? Cardinals Chargers?

I got Chargers all day. Yo. All day. All day. All day. Home two.

Yeah, Justin Herbert with that new offense. You don't know. Mike McDaniel. Mike McDaniel, say what you want. That little sucker. That little sucker can call some plays.

He had Miami. and you he had he had some of that stuff in miami looking good he had two looking good he had two looking like an mvp candidate mike daniel about be having some stuff i think i think justin herbert and um he got justin herbert he got maria hapton he got keaton mitchell he got um They got pieces out there. McConkie. Quentin Johnston. Yeah, McConkie. They got Quentin Johnston, who couldn't catch that, but now he's been catching good. Jacoby be throwing that.

He be getting like 300, 400 games back-to-back-to-back. They be losing because they be losing. So he just got to keep it. Exactly. But all right. I'm on the Chargers, but it really shouldn't be much of a conversation.

The Cardinals are the second worst team in the NFL, so it's an easy one. Also, I wanted to say a very sneaky situation over there. The Chargers now, I think, have the best tight end room in the country, in the whole league. They got Charlie Kolar won that spot, by the way. charlie kolar won the tight end one spot uh they they got they got ninjoku they picked him up and they signed him and then they also have granderson is that is that third tight end who is like he just an elite elite ball catcher elite catcher of the ball tro so they got they got a good they got a good tight end room over there i can believe charlie colar won that won that spot we should hav get it out i guess they didn't think he was a one they didn't think he was a one he had swag bro he was cool bro yeah it was cool but he was one of john's guys he's not bad for a black and tight in like just embraced it yeah exactly exactly uh i like kolar yeah so yeah commander eagles oh yeah bad matchup sorry sorry commanders this gonna be bad i like the commanders but the eagles i'm going with the eagles yeah it's gonna be bad i i'm i I have a feeling about Jayden Daniels. He might take a jump this year, though. This would be the game to prove it.

Well, my thing with him is he's a very... He's like a north and south runner. You feel me? He don't have no wiggle. So he takes a lot of hits. Like, takes a lot of flush hits. and his body just couldn't take it before.

So we'll see. We'll see how it works. But he also has a high completion percentage. No, when he's out there, he's good. When he's out there, he's good. Eddie, where are you going?

Commanders or the Eagles? This one's a tough one. it really is a tough one I'm going to go with the Eagles I think it's going to be a close game though I think I think Eagles are still trying to figure some things out the commanders I think offensively are a little bit better than they are defensively but that offensive line is such a mess for the commanders it kind of nullifies everything they got on offense so yeah I think Eagles are going to win but it's going to be a close game all these type of division games are usually close between the Eagles and the Commanders and when they play like the Cowboys or Giants, I think this one's going to be close. I don't think the Eagles are going to come out guns blazing. I think it's going to be like a 21-20 game. Okay. So we got the Eagles.

All three. I agree with everything you said. Cowboys and Giants. Night game. Yeah, I got the Cowboys. Y'all not going with John?

No way. They're about to get embarrassed for real, I think. Yo, they the wild, wild west, though. Them boys be having fun out there on the Giants. Well, before, like last year, they don't care. Like, they were ready to, like, give it all every play.

But it's going to be like 34. It's going to be like 34. But they're going to make mistakes. I'm going with the Cowboys. Yeah. Yeah.

This is going to be my upset. I think the Giants are going to win. I still don't believe in the Cowboys' defense. It was historically the worst defense in the NFL in history I Get that Brian, but that was literally like four months ago, right like See I can see it they had I could see if they was running the bat and they had the same You know saying like like you could say about the Ravens like the Ravens kind of got the same defensive people that they had last year, we're just offering a scenario that they're going to get coached into playing better. That's like a shit that couldn't work. They legitimately have totally new pieces.

You know what y'all are talking about. I hear you, but I think it's going to take some time for them to figure it out. You just said a couple of when we started this, you know, ain't no preseason, really. You ain't playing starters on preseason. I think they're going to need to figure it out. I think the Giants are going to catch them off guard.

Now, you can also say the same thing. like any well the Giants got a whole brand new team kind of but you know but I feel like the Giants to me um are going to have one of those games where like everybody just falls in love with John Harbaugh they they get with the program everyone is healthy except for neighbors um and Scatterbow probably gonna get like 120 yards Jackson Dark gonna throw three touchdowns you know it's gonna be that type of game so I think it's gonna be a high scoring game I think it's going to be a 41-37 game. I still have to see the Cowboys defensively. Like, I don't believe it. I have to see it to believe it. You feel me? So, yeah.

Yo, y'all really could go to the Eagles game at four against the Commanders and then drive like two hours or even less than that and hit the night game with the Cowboys and the Giants. Like, if this was our job, that would be doable, bro. True. It would be. I mean, maybe. We probably would have to take the train.

Yeah, take the train. I was about to say, yeah, the train would definitely get us there. Or, I mean, the broadcasters and stuff would be taking the helicopter. True. Well, Charles, you got to have to get more subscribers, bro. What are the subscribers?

Right. Hey, yo. Yeah, yeah. All right. So we have Monday night game. Monday night game.

Wow. Dang. What a week. What a way to end the week. Right. Broncos and Chiefs.

Dang. I don't think it's tough at all. I'm not going to tell you why, but go ahead. I don't think it's going to be a tough one at all. Is Mahomes playing starting? Yeah.

Niggas don't know. Nobody knows. Yeah, he is. He's playing. They said he's full go. Full participant.

Oh, because yesterday I checked and they. or not, I think Friday I may have checked and they said they don't know. Yeah, I think they clarified like maybe yesterday. It's hard for me to go against Mahomes at home. Yeah. But it's hard for me to do. I mean, I think it's going to be a tough game, but also a part of what made the I mean, obviously they got Patrick Sertan out there.

So that's like a big deal. But a part of also what made the Broncos good last year was that dude Brooks or Cooper. They had the dude Cooper and now he's a... Cooper Deshaun No no no That the cornerback It a dude that played for the outside linebacker for the Broncos He on the commissioner example list He on the commissioner example list for something going on, some domestic violence, something, whatever. So that's why that's getting dealt with he can't play so so they got nick benito out there who's nice but they had this little synergy going on with them too that made them such a dynamic sack sack team now they lost they losing that so i don't know if that defense ain't gonna have you know what i'm saying you can't really if you blitzing or you sending four and you ain't getting there it's like you seen what the ravens look like last year when they wasn't they were sending then four and I get in there. Yeah.

Quarterbacks was just, everybody was cool and they just said, okay, here we go. We look so, we look sweet. We was, god damn. Jaguar has looked at it. Jaguar was just not ready for the moment, bro. He got better after, I think, our bye week.

He got better. He did get better. But then he came back the next year and he was fucking up again. And then he got better after the bye week again. He got better in the second half of the season. I just feel like the way that we went about it, that's what I'm saying.

The decision making, I can always just go back to that and look at how it just was like, yeah, from an X's and O's perspective, we're not getting anything from John. And then on the defensive side, we're losing recipes. We're over here losing sauce, acting like we don't know how to play football no more. Just not scaring nobody. No intimidation factor. Yeah, because you got a whole bunch of soft bitches on the squad.

Because everybody needs to be appealing to John Harbaugh. Because if you don't, he'll put you in the doghouse and you won't get your reps. Because he don't care. He'll lose games behind proving a point. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?

It's like, yo, why did we never see Cleveland? it. Let me see Cleveland go out there and whiff like this dude Fah Lele is doing. And I'll be fine with Fah Lele being out there. Let me see Emory Jones, let me see one of these other dudes go out there and whiff like how this dude is whiffing and I'll be cool with it. But you won't even show us. You won't even put it on film.

You won't even let the fans see. He was a ho, bro. This is a opportunity for John to give the middle finger to everybody. Guys, timeout, timeout, timeout. We didn't pick a winner between the Broncos and Chiefs. How do we get to John Arbaugh?

It's always about that bitch nigga, man. It's everything. Argo leads back to his bitch ass and then his brother bitch ass problem. But if he beats the Cowboys, that's a middle finger to the world, bro. No, bro. It's not.

It is. Cowboys are a bitch. Listen to me, Chowboys. Listen to me, Chowboys. Listen to me clear. This bitch nigga will not have a swan song.

He is going to cry out there in New York. Or he's gonna die on the vine out there. It's not gonna be pretty. It's gonna look like the Bill Belichick left. It's gonna look like when Bill Belichick divorced from Tom Brady. He was like, who's the only big?

Who's two? Tom won a Super Bowl and Bill Belichick just kept losing. That's what he's about to happen. You might have to eat it, bro. That's all I'm saying. if they do beat the cowboys it's coaching it's not because but we know it's not that we know he don't know how to do that yo you said he knows how to make mediocre players better it's not gonna work this he has a whole team of mediocre players he used to could do it when the when the league was different but now it's a new league he can't do that he can't just he can't just will his way He's gonna make a splash decision. He's gonna have to run 11 on 11 football.

He's gonna be unique. He had the most unique thing he had was Lamar Jackson. That was his trick. After that, there's no more tricks. I'm just saying that middle finger might come up. He deadass a trickless pony.

He ain't no one trick pony. He's a trickless pony. opponent. I think you're both right. I think he's going to have his middle finger moment. I think it'll be this game. Then I think he's going to crash and burn by week three.

All right. So, Eddie, you're picking the Broncos. I'm getting them out. I'm picking the Broncos. I think the Broncos got a nice team. I don't think Pat Mahomes is healthy.

I think Pat Mahomes is going to be hobbling on that field. I think He not careful. He may re injure himself, which I'm hoping he does because then my boy Justin gonna come in and fucking but Yeah, I don't I don't know bro. I mean he and it's not like the cheese look good last year anyway, so fuck it I'm going with the Broncos You going against homes, you know, that's not really a good idea never been I Mean if you went against homes last year, you would have made a good a good chunk of change Let's just put it that way. Yeah Yeah, yes She writes Xavier worthy I need that stuff, no clue. I'm meeting myself and it's not me.

It's Brian, his screen is blurry too. It's clear now. We already called it. We didn't take a photo screen. Brian is pixelated. Yeah.

Charles, I think you're on mute. We can come. Anyway, we completed what we're supposed to be here for. The game starts in 15. I know. I got to get ready.

I got to get into the zone. Exactly. All right, bro. Let's conclude it. All right, man. I'll see you.

All right, later. All right. All right.
