Week three is almost upon us here on the, a axis of football. Welcome back, Corro FA alongside char ish, a couple of Titanic clashes this week in Miami and Tampa and a slew of teams that are trying to get off the Schneider. Trying to have a bounce back week after a lackluster week, two performance. We'll talk about which ones we think are most crucial there and a nice one in prime time. Sunday night in Denver that we'll get to a familiar face. The Niners will be facing this Sunday night, but shark let's start with the headliner the week in a lot of people's eyes. And that would be the red hot Buffalo bills traveling to the recently resurgence. Miami dolphins, both teams in the AFC east, both teams, tuna, both teams obviously know each other well. And both offenses really coming off of incredible performances. Obviously Josh Allen, who the first two games has been sensational and two O taco BYOA with the performance of the year at quarterback. So far, it's only two weeks in, but 450 plus yards, six touchdowns in that incredible. Fourth quarter against the Ravens last week, char the games in Miami and Buffalo's red, hot coming into town. What do you think of this game, man? I don't think that it should be played. I think the bill should be crowned super bowl champions right now after two weeks. And finally, finally you're saying something that makes sense. Right. And, and anybody that dares try to, you know, say anything negative about him is an absolute idiot. So I don't even know why the game's being played. I mean, the, the, I mean, I think we should just cancel the entire season just yeah, I might as well, might as well. Right. So, so here's the thing. You were one of the culprits, but I know you're doing it kind of tongue cheek, but the crap that I hear on social media, it's it. How I prefaced everything when I said, if I had to nitpick and, and say, what's strong with Buffalo, they're so strong. That the only thing I can tell say is that they're peaking too early. That's the only negative thing. And that's not. And I think that's fair char because we've seen teams historically when they peak too early. And it's, especially when you get that buy on the playoff. Right. It actually hurts you. Right? I remember the Packers being 15 and one. I mean, there's a lot of examples I can go through, but any case I, I, I get it. I'm just, I'm I'm poking fun. No, I, I knew I knew your, I, I knew you you know, you're, you, you're just doing it kind of tongue in cheek, but, but look, here's, here's the thing, the, the bills. Again the only thing that will stop the bills is if they, if they start, you know, the, the heat, because I'm telling you right now in orchard park, it's, it's pretty pleasant. It's, it's nice weather up there and they're gonna, but it's in Miami, it's in Miami shore. That's what I'm saying. They they're used to the pleasant weather. They're going to Miami and. September in Miami, not so nice, hot and humid. And I'm telling you it's gonna affect them if they don't. If, if they let the, if they let the dolphins hang around, if they let the dolphins hang around at the end of the game, when the dolphins are pretty close to near 9000%, they're gonna find themselves around 60, 70%, cuz you're gonna be absolutely drained. And this is a game that the. They're going, they should easily handle the bills at the dolphins, but if they screw around and, and they let the dolphins, you know, keep the nose in the game, they're, they're gonna be they're gonna be in trouble. Sure. Here's what I'll say last year at this almost same time. September 19th, 2021. Is when the bills traveled to Miami last year, almost, almost a year to the date, right. About a year and a week off. Right. Right. They won that game. 35, nothing in, in Miami, right. It was an absolute drumming AC and Josh Allen actually didn't really, he only threw for 179 yards, two touchdowns in a pick. So it was just, but it was just an onslaught from Buffalo. I think they had a defensive score in there as well to go along with their four offensive touchdowns. They, they just dominated the game in Miami this time of year. So, you know, it's, it's not as if this team is like the Patriots who's for, you know, for whatever reason, I think for you just talked about. They typically travel in Miami, Buffalo, at least as of last year seem to have things quite in control this same time of year in Miami. So I don't know if that goes into your prediction at all. Obviously this Miami team is different, but based off last year, it seems like Buffalo doesn't have an issue really playing in Miami this time of year. Right. Well, this Miami team, this Miami team is different. Now they have the ability to strike and strike fast. So, you know, they, they, they showed, they showed that last week, but that's why, I mean, look, that's why I'm betting that buffalos again. When I say I'm I'm I don't, I, again, I do not bet until week four week five of so when I say I'm betting, yeah. Take it as if, if I had to choose I'm betting the bills to win and I'm betting the bills to cover the six and a. Because I think they're gonna be fine. They're gonna jump ahead, but look again, I'm, if you're gonna ask me how can Miami win this game is, you know, keep it close, keep it close and, and, and strike late and who, it seems like whoever keeps the ball, you know, at the end is gonna win. But, but and by the way you said, keep it close. I'm going Buffalo. You said keep it close. Oh, so, so you're going Buffalo. By how much, what do you think the score's gonna be? Oh, I, I think they'll cover as well. I, I think, I think Miami's gonna try to keep up with them and two's gonna throw a couple of couple of untimely picks at the end of the game and, and they're gonna, here's the thing six and a half is a lot, is a lot, especially on the road, right? Well, but not for team like Buffalo, so it's I agree. It it's so it's, it's gonna be one of the, is it so inconceivable that, that the bills are winning? By like, let's say eight, nine points, 10 points, and Miami's going down to score and throws an interception and, and they, you know, that's, that's how I see it happen. Yeah. That's fair. So it's gonna be more than a touchdown, but the, but the game's never gonna be outta hand. I don't think. Yeah. Well, keep in mind, these, these teams played each other. Three times last year, Buffalo won all three cause they played each other in the playoffs as well. Last time they played each other bills put up 56 points on them, granted in Buffalo. So it just seems like, and then they beat'em in Buffalo last year and regularly 26 to 11. So it just seems like they've really had their number. As of late again, there was no Tyre kill, but the defense is what it was and, and you know, Josh Allen and this offense had moved the ball pretty well against Miami in recent memory. You say, keep it close. And then here's the thing. Char Buffalo hasn't really let anybody keep it close yet. Right? Between right between Tennessee and, and LA. What I will say though, is this is a different Miami team. They've got some firepower look, I know people are going Gaga over two as incredible performance in week two. But here's the thing at the end of the day, you know, why don't we talk about what he did in week one? Because I think really when you, when you look at it, I think, you know a wise, a wise person once said the, the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle Right, right. So I think when you, when you look at his body at work, which was, you know, what we saw in, in week. Yeah. You know, 20, 23 33 passing 2 71 touchdown. Okay. Like probably didn't need, need to do much either because Miami had a lot controlled that game all the way through. I think two is somewhere in the middle. You can see is clearly an improved player, but am I, am I so confident? In the dolphins that I think that they can win this game. I'm not there yet. I think the home field has something, has something to say about that. And, and you can look at that and, and show some, some flavor Miami's way. But look, Miami, we know Miami fans, they, they don't really get sold out in the stadium until the third quarter, maybe the second quarter. Anyway, it's a different type of fan over there. And in Miami, I'm not even sure how much of a, of a factor the crowd's gonna be early in this game, at least. I just think Buffalo's a buzz saw right now. And until somebody proves him, otherwise, it's gonna be tough. And again, this is a team it's not like we can say, oh, well there was one or two close games between them. Last year, this is a team. They have thoroughly dominated new head coach, new weapons. So I think this is going to be an interesting test for Mike McDaniel in that, you know, okay. I've, I've shown that I can improve to a, can we now be in it and even beat a. That beat us three times last year, pretty handily each time. So I think this is gonna be a really important game, a more important game for Miami than it is for Buffalo, if I'm being honest. But yeah, I, I just think Buffalo is people talk about Josh Allen Buffalo's defense is so talented right now. Yeah. But, but here's the thing. The kuru, you know, they're missing three, three of their best defensive players, possibly. Micah H is out with a head injury. Jordan Poer is questionable. Hopefully he'll play for them. And then he probably means he's gonna play. What I think questionable usually means they're they're likely gonna play so, right. But no, what I'm saying is, has a leg injury. So even if he plays, he's not gonna be full, you know, possibly not as full go. And then Jordan Phillips is Jordan flips their defensive lineman he's out as well. So yeah, but it says Micah H still might play. We don't, I guess we don't, we won't know until. Practice depends on on Friday, Saturday. But, but if, but if those two guys are out, that's a different story. I agree. If, if yeah, if Poer and HDE are out huge, I mean, those, those are, those are the staples that I've been a part of that defense, you know, those two safeties they're, they're they're covering that backfield for them. So that's gonna be a big, big difference, like, especially with, with Tyreke and Jalen waddle. Yeah. Yeah. And look, the, the context on employer, he did miss. Thursdays practices with a foot injury and he was limited on Wednesday. I think it could be very possible. They're just giving him a day of rest and he should be fine. But yeah, I mean, who knows even if they play like it to your point, maybe they're not, they're not full go. That's absolutely gonna have an impact on the game because they're sure we talk about Josh Allen a lot. Buffalo's defense has been just as instrumental and they're a hot start. Has it? Absolutely. I think they have a chip on their shoulder from the playoff game last year with Kansas city. So they're, you know, anytime you have a talented defense, that's playing with a chip on their shoulder, that's a dangerous combo, but here's what I'll tell you. As long as that pass, rush led by Von Miller, cuz look, Vaughn Miller has been creating a lot of problems. Not, not just directly indirectly, right? They're the build through two game star. They're getting home with four down line. That is huge. That opens up what you're gonna do on defense so much. So I think even if those, if those guys in the secondary are a little banged up, if that pass rush can get home the way it has with four guys, there's a lot you can still do. I think, to cause problems Fortu in Miami. Right. Well, here's the thing though. If they're just rushing with four, I can always, I, me personally can always scheme one guy out. I can always scheme one guy out. It's usually the second player. That's gonna make a big difference. So and, and look, both their ends have been good. So that's, that's, you know, let's not forget the other guy. I forget what his name is, but let's not forget. He's been, he's been having a, I, I know his name. What is his name fricking Russ. We talking about the other, the, the other Russo. Roe. Yeah. Roe Gregory. Gregory Russo. That's who? It's that's who it's. Yeah. So he's been, you know, he's been playing, he's been playing almost as good as V Miller. So yeah, so it's not like, don't forget, don't forget a guy who had a sack against the Rams. How about boogie bashum is there a better name for a D the end than boogie? Basham like it, man, boogie. I mean, he's bashing him, isn't he? No, yeah, absolutely. And, and he's boogie all the way down to the, you know, to the quarterback, so, and mean dude, Matt dude, Matt Milano, their outside linebacker had that pick six against the Titans that guy's got some wheels, man. They're dude, they're fast. They're ferocious dude. Tremaine Edmonds is a. Linebacker too. I know his younger brother's older brother rather. I was younger. I think his younger brother got beat in with the Steelers last night playing the brownies, unfortunately for them. But but no Tremaine Edmonds is a phenomenal downhill linebacker as well. This is a very talented defense and I think we love offense. We love J we love quarterbacks and all that don't sleep on these guys. They're they're and as long as I think, Vaughn Miller's there drawing extra attention. Your boy, Russo and other folks are, are gonna eat. So I think, I think that's still gonna cause Miami some problems and look, Miami's defense. We've talked about, you know, Floris is putting a good squad together. They, they got beat pretty bad last week. Now they won the game, but Lamar Jackson kind of did whatever he wanted saved for a couple drive in the fourth quarter, which when it mattered most, but really, you know, they're 28th in defense right now through two weeks. That's that's not, that's not pretty. I think it shows that they, they can be had in some ways now, obviously, you know, Josh Allen doesn't have the explosiveness of, of Lamar's running ability, but you know, Miami's defense isn't isn't I think outta the gate as they play great against in England and they really stunk it up against the Ravens. So which, which unit's gonna come out. We. Right. Well, look, I I'm picking the bills, but here, here's the thing don't ever get. I think Miami's gonna cover, I think Miami's gonna, but you know what? I don't know why I think Miami's gonna cover right. If I had to be it, I would think Miami cause plus six, six and a half is a lot of points. It's a lot of points at home. Humidity. Cause here's the thing. Will we be shocked? We be shocked if you came back here next week and, and the bill. No. I wouldn't be shocked as the, I wouldn't be shocked as the bill lost either. So, but what, what I'm trying to tell you is that Miami defense don't ever discount a defense based on how they play against the Baltimore, Baltimore offense. Cause that's just such a, such a different dynamic in terms of trying to, you know, stop that defense versus all other types of, you know, Jones. Well, Mack Jones, who he went up and gets a week one, he's a statue kind of quarterback. Lamar Jackson is the polar opposite. Josh Allens, probably somewhere in the middle. Right? He's not a statue. He's not explosive like Lamar, but he's dangerous with his legs somewhere in the middle. So. You know. Yeah. We'll see how Miami responds to how they defend Josh Allen. They haven't really had an answer for them in recent memory. So yeah, I think it'll be a phenomenal again. I think the fact that now this version of the dolphins has Mike McDaniel lead in the pack. They've got Tyre hill. This is, this is gonna be very different and I'm very excited to see. Obviously, you know, is Tua gonna, is IST gonna go off like he did against Baltimore? No, but I would love to see him maintain the high level of play. I think we, we could look back and say, Hey, that week two game against Baltimore, that was kind of the week that two began turning the corner. Let's hope that he continues building off of that this week. We'll see. It's gonna BES made tough touch against Buffalo. No, I agree. I'm rooting for him. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Okay. Let's move sho to another marque match. The Packers visiting the buckers. It's always fun when the two 12. Rogers and Brady get together. Unfortunately for the bucks, they'll be without the services of one Mike Evans Tom to Tom Brady chagrin on that one, his one game suspension for the scuffle, with Marshon Latimore being upheld. He thought maybe cuz Derek Brooks was overseeing it. There was a chance he to help his old team out. Maybe he recused himself for, I'm not sure what happened there, but nevertheless Mike Evans out. So you gotta hope if you're the. Chris Godwin, Julio Jones can get back healthy. They have not practiced yet as at all this week. Right? This is Friday morning. Those two guys have not practiced at all. I don't know, man. It's not looking good. Like there there's a reality here where they can be TRO out Rashad Parman Scotty Miller and, and Cole Beasley as Tom Brady stopped targets. We'll see. But not practicing all the way through Thursday for Julio and Godwin. I would not be thrilled about. If I were a buck fan and the Packers getting a really, really nice win in a, in a completely, in my opinion, overrated rivalry. Can we not ever watch a Packer's bears game prime time ever again? Like, I I'd be fine, cuz it's always just an awful game. But in any case that's because that's because you're from. California and now in Texas. So that's, but I bet you, there's a bunch of people in the Midwest that disagree with you. Why do barefoot his ball to watch the game you gonna turn off and the third quarter anyway, I mean that game, that game was closer. Didn't you think? Oh, there was, there was a touchdown, there was a touchdown they scored in the first. Yeah, I know. I know they had fields could have scored at the end. Eh, yeah, whatever. I mean, spare, they had a touchdown taken away, so I saw it. It was whatever. And in any. Point the whole point. There is hackers get a win after, after really embarrassing last week went to Minnesota. So they're in a good spot. They're in Tampa. And you talk about kind of a cold weather team going to human Florida. Could that be a factor, but I would not downplay Evans and now potentially Godwin and Julio, all being out for Tampa. These guys have receiver problems all the time. It seems like now since, since last year, tough break for them. Those top three guys don't Gohar. What do you think of this game? And, and, and doesn't it that make it a lot more win for green bay? Yeah, but who better to make guys like Behar Parman and Russell G. Cole Beasley look like all stars and Tom than Tom Brady. Sure, but this is the Packers defense man. We're talking about. There, there, no talk. It is. It, it, it is, but I mean, we're talking Tom Brady here though, right? I mean, he, he makes, he makes all stars out of everyday guys all, all the time. The, my, my biggest question mark, with the with the bucks isn't the receiving cores is mainly their offensive line because that Packers defensive line is ferocious. So are they gonna be able to, are they gonna be able to. Keep Tom Brady clean and, and, and remember, Tom doesn't mind pressure around the, around the edges, Tom can't handle pressure off the middle. All right. So if, if they can, if they can protect Tom, I would, I would pick the, I would pick the bucks to win. It's only a one point it's only a one point spread. But, but I, you know I, I like the bucks. You like the bucks, despite green bay being fully healthy with their full compliment weapons coming in. Yeah. Yeah. You're talking you, you know that? I, you know, again my, my, I, I think. I think Aaron, Aaron Rogers is a better quarterback than Tom Brady, but there's never been a greater winner than Tom Brady and, and talk of, and, and I'm a, I'm a look, I'm a firm believer that the defense, like my argument that my friend had, that we spoke about last week saying how his defenses, all of a sudden comes up. I I'm a firm believer that, that Tom Brady does have an effect like that on even defensive player. Yeah. And I was gonna say, I was gonna say, you know, if your friend that your friend's theory, if he thinks Tom Brady, so lucky, why don't you ask Tom Brady's teammates who he is played. What they say about him? Well, of course. And, and, and what, what, what he brings into a locker room? It's not, it's not, it's not anyway. No, I, I look, look, I agree with you. I'm I'm, I'm the guy that first to talk about you can't, you can't you can't limit the game to a, a spreadsheet. With a, with a graph and a bunch of numbers. Right. Agreed agree. But, and any I off the topic, but, but look, I, I would agree with you that, yeah. I mean, 45 year old Tom Brady versus this Aaron Rogers, you, you gotta give the tilt to Arod here in terms of quarterback play. And then look, I know obviously, you know, Devonte Adams in green bay, but Tom Brady has no Evans now and, and potentially know Godwin Julio. So I would say even though green bay lost their, their top. Tom Brady's come into this game potentially way more handicapped than, than Rogers is. And then you, and then you, you look at the, the running backs. Well, okay. Foreign. Solid player, but like, give me, give me Aaron Jones and AJ Dylan, and that combination all day. So, okay. Now, now, now look, now you're trying to lay, try to hedge your bet for Tom Brady case. He loses. Okay. No, no, I'm just Brady still. What have I said that wasn't true. What, what did I just said? Okay. Even with bro, even if it's for char Perryman, even if it's Russell G, even if it is a shell of Chris Godwin, that's you're right. Who I did not mention Russell G so yeah, he'll he he'll be a go, those receivers are better than what Aaron Rogers has now correctly. You said pers better than, than what Aaron Rogers says. I think Aaron Rogers would love to play with Rohar Freeman. I, I like Boreman. I do. Dude. He doesn't have anybody who the hell does he have Alan Lazar? You'd rather have Alan Lazard to brought Rashard Fairman. I mean, it's, it's probably, it's probably a wash at that point, you know? I don't know. Okay. Now, now let's go down line. You'd rather have Russell G running into the slot or Randall Cobb Russell. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Yeah. I mean, Cobb an old man. That's fair, but I like Christian Watson. I like Romeo I'm sure. But they're young. I'm sure. Tom Brady would love to have Christian Watson and Romeo. But they're not right now. They're young, they're young. And, and the fact, and, and here's the thing, they would be better if they had Tom Brady, because I guarantee they would've played in the preseason. Right. He would've mentioned they got ready with, with Tom Brady. So, so that's so, so that's, that's, that's the factor, but, but I'm picking, I'm look the over and unders only 42 crew. It's only 42 points. I can't believe it. I mean, you're talking about it basically. They're saying it's gonna be a 2120 football game. Yeah. And so, and so you're going with the bucks just cuz they're the home. I'm going with the bucks because of Tom Brady. And, and I mean, the defense has been killer for them for two weeks. Right, right. Now if they put Tom Brady on his ass early, that's when Tom starts toe tapping and dancing around and, and and, and throw, you know, having, having shit on the field. And that's not crazy to, to if that happened. Right. I mean, right, right. That's but again, there's nobody better than to make other peoples around them play better than Tom. I would feel a lot better about this game if Tom Brady had a healthier compliment of receivers. So we'll, we'll see. I also wonder how legit Tampa's first two defensive performances are that, that, that, that, that joke of a cowboy team that came out week one, I don't think you can evaluate. Right. And then and then, and then week two, I mean, look, week two James went back to being James again. Right, right. I mean, and so. He has not gone against anything near the quality. Sorry, not he, the defense has not gone against anything near the quality of an Aaron Rogers yet. So I, this is gonna be, this is gonna be a test. This is gonna be, and, and to be fair, I mean, you know, green bay, they got the defense did not look good against Minnesota week one. They did somewhat bounce back against fields week two. I mean, fields had a good drive, but they, they contained most of the game. So I think this'll probably be like, you know, their biggest test thus far as well. If Julio and Godwin can go, if not, then that, oh, look, if, if neither one of them goes, I'm gonna have to rethink I'm gonna have to rethink my my assessment. But I'm the reason why I'm guessing. I'm guessing that one of those two guys is gonna go through rush. I would rather it be Godwin. I would rather it be God. Well, yeah, I would rather have it be Godwin too, but, but I'd rather have it be whoever's healthiest. that's so I, I, I I'd rather have, I'd rather have a healthy Gowin over a healthy Julio, but if, if you're talking about a 90% Julio versus a 70%, Gowin I'd rather have Julio. Yeah. And God wins as a hamstring. That's that? That's a, that's a, yeah. Making those quick cuts in the slide. Whereas Julio gonna run straight down the line. It's an agging one. Okay. So you're going, you're going Tampa. I'm gonna go green bay. I'm I, I, you know, I hate to pick against. The goat, my fellow, Sarah high school alumni. But look, this is he does. He doesn't have his full compliment of weapons. And I think the bucks defense has not yet faced the quarterback at the quality of Aaron Rogers. This is a good early season test. And this is by the way, this is their first meeting char since that fateful NFC championship game in green bay, I would imagine this has been circled on Aaron Rogers calendar. Since the schedule came out this is, this is the important one for green bay. So. Moving on chart. Now we've got, we've got a, a slew of games here that are really important because these are kind of what we put in, in a bounce back category, right. Of teams that, Hey, if, if they don't come out in victorious it's, it's it, it's not gonna be, it's not gonna be good. Right. And I think some are more risk than others. Right? So Baltimore. At new England, that's just a good game. Both teams at one on one, somebody's gonna be below 500 when all is said and done Bengals at the jets. I mean, could the Bengals possibly start? Oh, and three. And that third loss coming at the jets led by Joe Flaco. I don't know, but the jets, Hey, coming off a big one in Cleveland, Casey at Indy, again, a tough, tough, tough test for the COLS could not log winds against either the Texan. Or the jacks are two weeks and now you got the big, bad chiefs coming to town. They could also very well be staring down. Oh, and three, when all said and done and Raiders at Titans, both of these teams at oh, and two, somebody's gonna be, oh, and three guaranteed. When all said and done on Sunday, char, which one of these games, two questions for you, which one of these games are you most looking forward to? And which, which team do you. Is most at risk and should be playing with the most urgency based on these matchups. So the games you're asking about is B Baltimore Baltimore new England. Yep. Since, since at New York jets, since yet New York jets chiefs at Colts Raiders at Titans I would have to go the team that's in most desperate need to bounce back is obviously the AFC champs, the defending AFC champs. So they're, I mean, if they can't do it against the. Like, you know, who knows what they're gonna do, but, but yeah, I, I, I, I would have to go, I would have to go with, with CCI. I think you go mop up the jets, but the game that's really intriguing to me is the Ravens versus the Patriots, because here's the thing, Ravens, Patriots. What do you think about you think about solid defensive. Players. Right, right. Generally speaking. Right. Yeah, of course. Do you know that they're over and under is more than Tom Brady versus Aaron Rogers they're over and unders out 44. Well, that's not shocking cause you know, I know, but weapons. Yeah, I know. But, but I mean usually when you think about those two quarterbacks, you're thinking fireworks. Right. So sure. Okay. So anyways, but yeah, so since he needs to, since he is the one that needs to win the most but the intriguing matchup for me is, is Baltimore versus Patriots because, you know, two teams that are one on one and you know, and, and, and two, generally speaking, two of the cornerstone teams in terms of stability in, in the NFL. And at that one, I'm gonna have to bet against bill Belichick. I, I, I think that six out of 10 times Baltimore's gonna win that game. It's that new England does that matter to you? No. That's if it was in Baltimore, I would say maybe six and a half out of 10 times, but no, I don't, I don't think, I don't think the crowd's gonna matter to these teams to these teams. Yeah. I mean, Patriots didn't have an impressive win at Pittsburgh, but you know, also kind of based on what we saw Pittsburgh. Do and, and be somewhat limited in offense last night against the Browns. You wonder was that, was that as impressive as maybe we thought it was an issue, right, right. That's one thing and yeah, I mean the RA, the RAVs are angry, man. The Ravens are angry. They lost a game that they think they should have won. They probably should have won if they, if they just like wanna do a preve defense. Right. Probably don't get. On those balls to Tyreke. And they're yeah, they're going to be primed, I think, to come out and, and put on a show, but look, don't underestimate bill Bellick, but I will say the thing that bill Bellick defenses typically struggle with are speed that east west lateral speed that you have, there are good kind of like rock em, sock, you know, downhill. When you get to that outside, speed quarterbacks are gonna roll out. That's where. Bill Buder defenses typically struggle. I expect Lamar Jackson to give them fits. I do. Absolutely. Absolutely. I, I just don't. I mean, look, the, the Ravens played really freaking good defense against Miami for 48 minutes. you know? Right. And it, it fell apart for the last 12. Right. They, they did a really good job against the jets too week one. So. I think the rape is defense will come back to farm here as well. I don't know. What's the spread in this scam. Shark. Do you have that in front of you? Let me pull it up. It is I believe it was two or three points. Yeah, right there. Two and a half. Oh two and a half points. Baltimore, two and a half. Yeah. Baltimore's favorite by gimme that all day. Give that all day. Give that's that's what I'm saying. That's that's what I'm saying. I think that makes time. I mean, yeah. I, well, here's the caveat is this with new England offense. Jones, their quarterback. What's his first name is it. Mac Jones, Mac Jones is is really been built through some sophomore blues. So sophomore slump, whatever you wanna call it. If he, if he keeps playing the way he's playing, they should easily cover. But you know, there's always a chance that there's gonna be resurfacing of a Mac Jones. So that's literally, he here's the thing. K. He has to play well for them to be able to beat the beat the Rav. I think he has to play excellent for them to be able to be the S I think you need 300 yards and three TDS in this game for that. No, if he, if you look, if he plays a solid, they're not gonna run the ball on, on, if he goes for two 20, if he goes for 2 25, no interceptions, you know, a touchdown, they're not gonna run. They're not gonna run the ball in my opinion. Right. So if they don't run the. And he's got under 300 yards passing. That means on, they gotta cost some turnovers on defense too. Like some got right. That's that's and, and look, what, what other team, what better team than, than bill Bullick defense do to create some turnovers. So that's potentially, I just think I'm telling you, man, they, they don't do well. They're not built for speed. They're just not built to start because they don't because they don't have, they don't have the athletic ability they don't to pursue. So yeah, absolutely. No. How about how about Casey at indie? I mean, look, can, can we, can I feel like this is the kind of game where everybody wants to write indie off and they're gonna surprise some people. I, I, I think you've got this indie team with their backs to the wall. I think they're gonna surprise some people, Michael Pitman should be back and healthy. Okay. It's at home. You're own two you're embarra. I just don't see. Frank, Frank Reich. Ain't no punk. Okay. I think, I don't know. I'm not saying Indie's gonna win it, but indie is going to play well, they're going to be in this game. It's gonna be competitive. I actually can see them jumping out in front of the chiefs early on this one. Not ready to make a prediction on this one right now, or. But I could see this being the kind of game where there's show some desperation, maybe a fake field goal, maybe a fake pun, maybe a trick play. They're gonna pull some stops out, cuz they're own two. And if you go own three on your home field, well, you thought Jim was pissed last week. Right? Right. So that, that, that's the way I see this game is, is, is they're. They're gonna go, they're gonna, they're gonna throw haymakers, man. It's gonna be a hand makers head game from indie standpoint. Oh, abso look, look. If, if there are usually coaches have some trick place stashed up for the season for like some, some you know, teams that they're playing that they think we might work well, or they come up with something that they, that they designed, all of those are gonna come out this week. All of those are gonna come out this week. Mm-hmm so I, I used for you, like, like if in, if India ever had a, a thought of, of putting journal and Taylor at, at Wildcat and, you know, having a RPO with him, you know, if I'm not saying that they do, but I'm saying if they ever had one of those thoughts, this is when this is when it's coming out. This is when it's coming up, because they're gonna need everything. Now I do think that Indie's gonna bounce back and play. But I don't think they're gonna be able to beat the chiefs, you know, the way they're going. And, and here here's the thing char is that if, if they don't win this game, if, if, if your prediction's correct, you realize, we know the Colts missed the playoffs by one game last year. Right. They also started off in 2021 oh and three, and they were constantly claw back playing cash with the rest of the way. And they ultimately got burned on the altar in week 17 or week. At Jacksonville, you don't wanna start oh three again, right? Like what are you gonna say to the team we were here before? Yeah. I mean, we missed the playoffs last time too. Yeah. But, but, but they, but they had it in their graphs to make the playoffs. So here's the thing. Tennessee's you don't make a habit outta that, man. Like, well, you, of course you don't wanna do that. Of course you don't. Of course you don't. But what other conference in the entire NFL to fall behind two oh and three than that, possibly the NFC. I'm saying that's not what you're saying to your players in the locker room, right? You're not, you're not we're the AF selves. No, it's okay. No, no, no, no. What, what he's gonna say if they do lose as long as they play well, as long as they improve and play, well, he's gonna say, you know what, guys we've improved, we've done better. We've played well, this is the way we know how to play. Now. We just gotta put it together and clean everything else up and go get ourselves to win. And he is gonna say, you know what, Jacksonville's leading our division. Do you really think you're gonna end up winning this? So. We have the conference at hand. So it's, it's not gonna be the end of the world. They just need to, they just need to be able to play ball kuru. And, and, and even if they lose, even if they lose by like a field goal or, or even if it's, even if they lose by touch on, but it's, but, but Kansas city has to go down and score that if they keep a close C, then, then they're they're okay. They're okay. But if they get blown out at home, you better believe that bad times are. Listen, I, I get what you're saying, but here's what I truly believe. No matter how indie loses this game, whether whether they fight and claw and are in it, or they get blown up. If they lose this game and go, oh, and three for the second year in a row, I think you could be a very real possibility that Frank writes on the hot. I know it's crazy. Oh yeah. But, but I, regardless of how they play in a loss, if they lose, I think that's a conversation that, that might start surfacing. Right. Look, you've got now you've got after that, the Titans are coming to town. They don't look, this am this year, but then you're going to Denver and then you actually, it is not bad. Cuz you got Titans at home at Denver, which is gonna be tough, but then JAG. At home and then at Tennessee, again, so sure there's a path here, but like, I just, you don't wanna make a living off of having a tread water starting. Oh three. If you're, if you're the COLS, especially with all the things they've done in the off season, trying to improve their team, that would be rough for them. So. Couple, couple of points here. First of all, if Frank RA is gonna be on the hot seat, I have a question for you now, now, now, now forget. I'm not saying he should be right. I'm not saying I'm. If he is, I'm saying if he is, if he is, if you are not gonna get Sean, what's his name? The, the coach that you love for John Hayton. Yeah, Sean, if you're not gonna get Sean Peyton. Hey, now don't talk about he's. He he's I'm his secret admirer. Okay. You can't, you can't, you can't talk about him gonna any team besides the cowboy. No, I understand that, but, but let's say if he decides to stay, if, if he decides to say, you know what, I'm going into TV. All right. If Sean Payton decides to go wouldn't you much rather have Frank Frank as a Cowboys head coach than than McCarthy. Sure. I'd rather have you as a head coach. I'm like so, so yes, but that insane. My point, my point being is that my point being is that, you know, I was thinking, sorry, aside, I was, I don't know why this morning as I was getting outta my car, I was, for some reason thinking about when you said like two years ago, With how awful UCCI was playing. You're like, I would've just put Kellen Warren, at least he knows the checks and you can get him in the I'm like, that's actually pretty freaking genius. like, he didn't a to do that. Right, right, right. Anyway, so yeah. I'd rather have you. Yeah, I appreciate, but my, my point is as look as much as I like Ron Rivera. I much rather have Frank Frank than, than Ron Rivera there. There's there's gonna be 10, 15 teams that are gonna say, put it to you this way. If Frank, if Frank Frank gets fired, he's gonna get hired again. He's gonna be a head coach within a year. Absolutely. I, I got right. Okay, so, so it should, it shouldn't happen. It's gonna show you how stupid ssay is being number one, number two, nobody wants to ever go three and own three Corro nobody ever does, but, but if any team is gonna go on three, they're not gonna just pack it in. They're gonna have to say something. And, but a lot of times when a teams that go on three start fucking doing their the, the coaches. People don't believe it. If I was a player on, on the COLS team, if I went, oh, and three, I would believe it. That look we've been there before we were in. We were this close to being in the playoffs last year, we did some things good. We did some things great. Now we just have to clean it up. And guys, gentlemen, you just have to put everything together. Play game, keep improving week by week, one week at a time, keep improving, clean up all the little mistakes that we made along the way. And fellas, I promised you we're gonna be fine. I'm looking at it from the top down. And I get what you're saying in a locker room makes a lot of sense. I'm looking at it from Jim Mercer's point of view. I went out and got Matt Ryan. I improved my team, right. I made all these moves to do what to avoid what happened in Jacksonville week, 18 last year, getting embarrassed and missing the playoffs and to avoid a slow start. I've already got my ass handed to me in Jacksonville. Now I'm on the doorstep, starting going three. So what, what, what the hell did I do it all for? If I'm Jim Mercer, that's what I'm thinking. That's what I'm. If you're Jim, if your Jim me say, you need to just go sit in your owner's box every Friday night, go to your karaoke bar or whatever, the kind of bar it is that guy's kinda, I mean, he's a brash guy too. He's got, he got busted for snort and Coke. I mean, he's, he's out there, man. He's yes. I'm just saying a brass decision. Isn't completely you know, A crazy thing to assume with the guy like Jim Merc saying, right, right. By the way, I, I got, I got a funny story to tell you about, I ran into Mark Davis again last weekend and, and, and it wasn't oh boy. Anyways at the fight or what? After the after the fight, after the fight, I know the, the night the night before the fight, the night before the fight, and I forgot to tell you, and, and he was there with the great Jim dance. He was there. So I met, you know, he was there with the great Jim dance. And Michael. What you saw Jim S yes, he was there with Mark Davis at, at the Bella. I was having dinner at Picasso restaurant. I, Bella and I was coming out and I, and I, you know, you can't, you can't mistake that that, that hairdo, but anyways, it's, it's a funny story, but I don't know if I should share, you know, on, on air, but anyhow, well, art, can you tease anything without actually saying bluntly? Let, let, just let, just let, just say that, that I had. I had gotten a new a new bottle of tequila that I really, really enjoyed. And I didn't realize that I drank about half a bottle before I went to dinner. And again, this is my billionaire friend who spends about. 10 15 grand a night on wine when we have dinner. So I, I had quite a bit of large sum of wine. So by the time I ran into gym or Mr. Davis, Jim. Yeah. Oh my God. It was just, it was I'm I'm really embarrassed. Well, you know what? I might as well tell you. So I'm, I, I go under, I walk out. I, I, I, I see I, you know, I, I see Mr. Davis and, and he recognizes me, you know, and thankfully I'm dressed nice. I have a suit on, I. Hey, how's it going? Mr. D, thank you. Like I was so grateful for the party he threw for us. I was saying how I'm, you know, I'm back into the Raider fold and, you know, we were just shooting the shit. And then I, I turn and look at I'm like, I know you from somewhere is like, I'm I'm like, yeah, but I know you from somewhere. Yeah. Right. No, but I was saying I had met him before. It's not just Mr. Davis is like char that's that's the great Jim NA I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I kept talking to Mr. Davis and I kept pointing you Jim NA and saying, are you sure? I don't probably probably thinks, you know, after having a very good impression of me. During the during the reunion, he probably thinks I'm a freaking idiot, but and anyways, so, and yeah, my, my girlfriend was present there and and she grabbed my arms. She goes, okay. Time to go. so, like, I, three times I kept saying, I know you from somewhere like it, like a freaking moron, but anyways, recognize his voice, you know, you didn't realize, yeah, it it's, I'm super nice and, and everything. I I've heard Jim NA is super good dude. Like he's just like down, he's like a genuine, nice, you know, down to earth guy. So anyways, if, if, if Mr. Ate decides to even put his coach on the hot seat, he ne he needs to buy, you know buy a seat next to the owner of the reskins or, or the, or the commanders I'm I'm, you know how I feel about that gentleman? So, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So look, yeah. Not saying it's the right thing, but I, like, I made all these changes to get the same result. Something's gotta change potentially. Right. And that's your point? Look, they could turn it around, but that, that seat might get a little warm in Indy. If this isn't come out with a w speaking of the Raiders, let, let's talk about that. Cause cuz to me, when I think of the question of who's got, who should have the most urgency, I think it's the Raiders because if, if you go, oh and three. In the AFC west. Ooh, I, I, I'm not gonna say this earlier. You should, you might as well pack it in. That is a, that is an uphill battle with my friend you're you're battling with, with the chargers, the chiefs who am I missing here? Chargers chiefs Raiders. And who's who's that four team in the AFC west that I Bronx coast, the Broncos you're right. Sorry, brain Farth for a second there. That's. That's. Even, even the Titans going on and three, okay. You're in the AFC south, right? Same with the coals. Right. Even, even to an extent, the Bengals, if they go, oh, and three. Okay. Pittsburgh's kind of in a, in a reshuffling type situation. Browns are without their top quarterback. Yeah. They had to play well last night, but they're kind of, you know, in limbo as well. Raven's really the only team you're looking up to, if you're, if you're sense, in my opinion, as a threat. So even going, oh, and three, not ideal, but like to me, the Raiders at oh, and three and their. Super daunting. You, you just, you can't afford to do it. You cannot afford to do it. In my opinion, if you're the Raiders, I, I, I, I see what you mean, but here's the thing, the one thing that you and I had in common in, in terms of picking picking AFC west was that we both picked them to take last, right? Yes, we did. Okay. You go ahead, but not starting O and three and, and being right, right. Running so far, obviously, obviously, but in, in terms of, in terms of like expectations, who is far below expectations this year, if they go on three, mean, if, if you're going off, since you having just gone the super bowl. Sure. You can. Well, of course, what, what else is there? You played a game to go to the championship and win the championship. True. This is also a team that what one. Two three games, Zach Taylor's first two years. Right. So, you know, but true. A team, a team that just barely lost the super bowl. Barely lost the no. And talk about, you talk about peaking, right? When we talk about goals. They peaked at the right time at the end of the day. Right. Right. So, so, so I just feel you talk about expectation. I guarantee that the entire off season, all that team was talking about is let's get back to the dance. Let's get back to the dance. I'm gonna win it this time. But, but sure. I would say this too, with the Raiders, you know, they, they made a big move going on and get Devonte Adams. Right. They did. I mean, you know, they, they added Chandler Jones as well. Did they? I mean, they made some big time moves. They brought in Josh McDaniels offensive w from new England to change the culture. You can't start oh three, you cannot start oh three after doing all that. You just can't. Right. But also, but look, look again. I agree. Neither one of these teams can start, oh three, neither one of these teams. Can't but, but I think the BEOS can still recover from it. If they do. I don't think, I think the Raiders won't be able to, but, but the Bengals they're talking about, you know, making the playoffs and, and, and all these things going on. I'm not so certain that a team a wildcard team is gonna come out the AFC north. If, if they go on three, I, I'm not, I'm not so certain about that. That'd be right, but who, but who's who was better last year, the Titans are the jet. Well, obviously the Titans, the Titans. So if you go on and three against the Titans, it's far less of a crime than going on and three against the jets. Yeah. And look, I mean, if you're the Titans, man, it's just, it's concerning, right? They're clearly a couple cuts below what they were even last year. The passing game's taken a step back. No, AJ brown, you know, Derek Henry does not look like the Derek Henry of old again, only two weeks in, but, but it's just, it doesn't feel like the. Type of team and the defense has been getting beat like a fiddle. I mean, played like a fiddle. These guys had a 13, nothing lead against the giants, gave that up in the second half and you got completely obliterated in Buffalo, albeit it as Buffalo, but still half show show some fight. Just, this is a different Titans team. If the Raiders can't beat, I know it's in Tennessee. They should be able to go and take care of business against this tight team. I dunno what the spread is, but it's two points in favor of the Raider. Yeah. I, I think I, I, I think they should uh, they, they should cover that they should cover that. You would think so. Right. You would think so, but, but again, you have two, you have two bill ick disciples here. And and, and I look, it's, it's a tough game. I don't, I would never bet this game. I wouldn't bet this game, even if this was like end of the year, because I have no, literally close your eyes on flip a coin and that's, who's gonna win it. I don't know. I disagree. I, I, I, I. I have way more faith than the Raiders than the Titans Titans just don't look like they, they got no juice, man. They're they? Oh, really? So, so, so you're saying, what should, what should this spread be then? KU, probably four, probably four, probably double that I'll take I'll I'll take the, I'll take the Titans minus plus four against you. I mean, I'm not a gambling man, right? I said it should. I said it should be. I said it should. Look, the, the Titans are still the Titans still have the makeup of a really good defense. Give me gimme three and a half. Gimme three and a half. Same shit. So sure. Sure. No, the, the point, the point being is that look, the reason why I was really down on Derek Henry this year coming in fantasy, because I honestly think that this is the beginning of the end form. All right. This is the beginning of the end. Well, I've been saying that, you know, and they say what a broken no, no, no, no. Twice. I say at some point you're gonna write about. Right, but, but I really said it after his injury, because look, when a big guy like that finally gets injured when the glass is finally broken, then, then, then there's, there's, there's something wrong. There's something STR now having said that, that doesn't mean that Derek Henry can't be great. You know, every other game or so on and so forth. Very similar to how Ezekiel Elliot was two years ago. Remember when two years ago I said, I don't believe his equal Elliot should be a first round draft choice in, in fantasy. And look, he came out the first six games and, and what he, he went, he went crazy, right? Yeah. Until, until what? Until he got hurt again until he got hurt again. So, so having, having said that, I think Derek Henry, you're gonna see glimpses of Derek Henry this year to remind you of Derek Henry of old. I just don't think he's gonna do 10 games in a row. The, the way, the way he was able to do it. So, but no, it's slowly in the season now. So, so ultimately sure. Who, who you going with here? I'm hon, honestly, I, I told you close your eyes and flip a coin, but, but I think, I think I just, Rebel's your guy. Rebel's okay. Rebel's my guy Raiders are my team from childhood. Okay. but, but, and, and I, and, and I just recently made a stupid idiot of myself in front of Mr. Davis. So I, I, I will say I will say I, I will on a gut. I'm gonna say that Derek Henry is gonna have a resu. And and Tennessee's gonna win at home. Wow. Okay. I think that's more, that's more a heart pick. I think. Absolutely. If I was going with a heart pick, I would say, okay, my heart tells me Tennessee, but I just, this, the Raiders should come in and cover and win this game. Like they absolutely should. They should. Well, there's a reason why their favorite in Tennessee. Yeah. Yeah, of course like, like, like that to me is what should happen. You know, the Raiders just been disappointing for, for a while now, and then they don't win the game. They're supposed to win and they win the ones they're not supposed to win. So who knows what happens here, but I, I am gonna go with the Raiders. I'm gonna go with the Raiders and and, and take and take the, the talent they have that they, that should prevail in my prediction. So RA I, I got the Raiders by say four in this one. Sure. Real quick. Wrap it up minute and a half football. Excuse me. Saturday night, football Niners at Broncos, the Niners facing Russell Wilson in Denver, a familiar face for them. Obviously having gone against him, battling him the past couple years in the NFC west, they just got Jimmy G back that offense looked like it got some pep in their step. We know what that defense can do. Broncos coming off a win. They just kind of barely squeak by Houston at home, not instilling a ton of confidence, but a win's a win. What do you see in this game? I look Jimmy G playing if it was if it was Trey, Lance, I would say, I would say the Broncos but now Jimmy G with that beautiful smile of his, you know, coming in San, I, I would, I would have to go San Francisco even though the games in, in, in Denver. And if, if I had asked you. The, the gentleman Mr. Savi, who chose, who chose the Broncos to pick the Broncos to win the win the division. If I had told you that by week three, San Francisco is gonna come to town and be favored, you would think I'm nuts. You would've thought I'm nuts. Right? I, I would be surprised. Right. So look yeah, but here we are here, here, here, here we are. Here we are. You know, how much did dinner bite, sir? It's, it's only a point and a half. It's only a point and a half. So it's it's well, I'm not almost a pick almost right. Almost a pick, but the fact that this is, if this was in San Francisco, I would say, okay. But the fact that's in Denver on mile high. I mean, come on. That's Denver has legitimate, but here's how I see it though. Who the Niners face the first two weeks Justin Fields and gen Smith, this is gonna be by far. In theory, the highest quality of quarterback play that they're, they've gone against. So not, not, not in theory in actuality, absolutely actual, well, I mean, I'm just saying in theory, because maybe, maybe they go out and destroy, destroy them. Right. Like, I don't know, but, but on no, no, no, but still Russell Wilson is Russell Wilson. He's exactly. So, so yes, the defense has played well for, I mean, I know that there's a couple of broken plays in Chicago. That to me is a throwaway game. The throttle gen Smith at home. This is gonna be in mile high. It's gonna be against Russell Wilson. By the way, and Russell Wilson that always played them well, even with last year's Seattle team, he does, he did for somehow, but Denver's offense has looked just like disjointed so far. They have not gotten an rhythm. And I don't know, Jerry Judy got hurt last week is Jerry Judy he did. Is, is he out? It looked like a, like he, like, it was a landed on her shoulder. Pretty. Questionable it's it's it's it's not his shoulder. It's they stay, they put it as a torso, which would indicate to me it's not a, shoulder's more of a chest or a, or a rib injury. He hasn't, he has not practiced this week, regardless. Right. By the way, Niner sharp should be getting George Kittle back. That's huge for them. As well. Yeah. And, and, and here's the thing I, I did not, again, I, I know I talk a lot of fantasy, but, but when, when I talk to you about fantasy, it shows you my thought process behind, like how I feel about a team. I didn't pick Debo Samuels once in all my 10 professional leagues, not once, because I wasn't sure how he was gonna be with Trey lands. If I knew that Jim Jude was gonna become the year long starter by week two, I would've taken him. I would've taken him. So you see a resurgence of Debo Samuels as well as George killer you're 100% correct. And but, but Russell Wilson beat this team with that crappy Seattle team last year. Yep. Yeah, that's true. He just it's and it's, you know, and again, it's not scientific. Some guys just somehow have some team's numbers, you know, I, I couldn't explain it to you. I don't know why I'm going back here. Santana Moss with Washington always had Dallas's number, no matter how bad it's just, it's sometimes it's a thing that, especially when he's told twice a year, but yeah, no matter how bad the sea were, it seemed like Russell Wilson always played the Niners. Well you know, it, it should persist here. You got, you got better weapons here than you had there, but they just, I mean, they barely eed out that win against, I mean, I was disappointed. And what I saw with them, maybe the Texans aren't as bad as you think they are, cuz the Texans hunged up with the Colts and, and they, they had that game in the fourth quarter against, against the Broncos. They, they couldn't buy a drive at the end, but they hung with them, man. I mean, so maybe I'm not giving the Texan enough credit, but I really thought the Bronco should have won. Won, won my double digits in that game. I mean this game was neck and neck to late in the fourth quarter. Look, new, new, new quarterback that's playing for the first time in a new system for him. So let's, let's just, let's just let, let's not forget again. I, I was kind of making fun of you in, in terms of picking the Broncos, but it's not that bad of a bet. It's not that bad of a bet. I think the Broncos are a team that are gonna are, are gonna figure it out and gonna start winning some games. And, and honestly I'm as much as I love the 49ers. This is a home. This is a home underdog that I'm gonna that. And, and I've, I've changed my mind. I'm gonna actually bet this home underdog because you say in Denver flu and one and a half. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I, I like this one. And, and look here, here. Here's what I'll say too. Here's what I will say. Okay. Jimmy G came off the bench. Okay. Seattle's defense had been preparing all week for trade land. Sometimes in these situations, quarterbacks are better coming off the bench than they are having a full week of practice. Why? Because the defense mid game had not been preparing for this guy. It's like, now you're playing. Left-handed all of a sudden, okay. The Broncos is no secret. Now who's the quarterback for the Niners. Okay. Let's not forget Jimmy. He is also a guy and I know as beautiful as his faces char. He does think he does think inopportune sack. He throws he'll throw you the ball one or two times a game too. So like I, you know, I, I'm not so sure that we can say, okay this offense is gonna be flawless with Jimmy. They're gonna be what they were last year, which I still think better than it was with Lance country. This. But let's, let's also bear in mind. He came off the bench and I think that was advantageous to the Niners in that game. Interested to see what happens now, Denver having a whole week prepare for Jimmy and his style play. So that's that's. Yeah, but look, but also chief of mind that talk about not having playing the preseason, Jimmy G didn't even practice in the preseason. PG didn't even practice in the preseason. So sometimes you just come off and you you're looser. Yes. That, that is, that is, that is correct. Yes. I, I do see your point. Look, I I'm, I'm picking, I'm picking the Broncos and I just said, I'm gonna break my rule golden rule of not never betting until week four of the NFL. I'm actually gonna bet this game because I. That, that the fact that Russell Wilson is extremely familiar with this defense. Yeah. All right. That's a huge advantage. And, and, and like you said, Jim, Jimmy G being the quarterback, he hasn't had a preseason. He has not had a pre-season so, and it's endeavor, dude, it's mild high, you know, you know how hard it's to run in that type of weather? I climate, I mean, I, I think this is going to be Denver's most complete game and I think they're, I think they're gonna pull it out at home. I think this, this is gonna be a, their, their, their test to say, okay, boys, we had two weeks to, to figure it out. We got a, we got a real one coming to town and I think they're gonna respond. Agreed. Agreed. Cool. That's all we got for our preview. Enjoy the games buddy have fun. I know it's not in Vegas this time, but hopefully you still have fun watching the games. I know I will.
