Speaker 1 0:19

I was ready , bro . It's a hindrance . Silence is cassette , so let your voices be heard , man , we brothers with opinions . Now we spreading the word . Bringing light to the dark Revolution is our art .

Man . A lot of people talk , but they ain't never walked apart . Gotta shine a light on poverty and fight against injustice and always speak the truth when the enemy is in the way . Ladies and gentlemen , it's another Sunday , beautiful day , last day of the NFL Sunday , some big games on the tickets today , but nothing better than that . Winchester love between the stars down there in Dirty Dallas and them , washington Redskins . Baby or Commanders , you know whatever they call us , but just put that W for win today . Anyway , we're going to do it live , like we usually do , with my man , tony , mr Twin myself . You guys already know they slave Zeb every other weekend , so he's over there on the clock , but we're going to get after it and start with that local news with Mr TD in the building .

Speaker 3 1:13

Okay , Chris , let's go . We got the local high school basketball scores , and I'll start with Monday . Earlier this week we had Warren County defeated Hilton 68-48 .

Speaker 2 1:25

Where's Hilton out at Northern Virginia ? Hell , if I know I'd have to look Like Woodbridge area or something .

Speaker 3 1:32

Anyway , I'll figure it out . Nelson County defeated Sharando 55-49 . Who was it he's asking where Hilton's at ?

Speaker 4 1:46

No , who be Sheridan Nelson County ? I've never even heard of them .

Speaker 3 1:50

I've heard of them . I think they might be from West Virginia . Sounds like yeah . And then Hanley defeated Eastern Mennonite 88 to 35 .

Speaker 2 2:00

Look , they just be smoking teams . Hilton High .

Speaker 4 2:03

School is in Woodbridge .

Speaker 2 2:04

Look see , I was right . That's what I'm saying . Cd Hilton that's a surprise . They're playing them .

Speaker 3 2:08

And then so , moving on to Thursday , until there was next local game . They had Strasburg beat Warren County 70-55 . And then on the Friday night slate , it was Haley defeated Lightridge 56-40 .

Speaker 2 2:26

That was Jermaine . Yes , jermaine Walker , baby J-Dub .

Speaker 3 2:33

He had them boys ready , man . They came to play For real , for real . They played great Lightridge . Isn't that great , not that great .

Speaker 4 2:46

And he had them ready to get a shot . I'm keeping it .

Speaker 3 2:51

What was the score , Tony ? 56 to 40 . So you only won by 16 .

Speaker 4 2:56

By 16 . And at Nelson County they're located , out of Lovingston Virginia .

Speaker 2 3:03

Wow , we were wrong , and I ain't never even heard of Lovingston Virginia . Wow , we were wrong , and I ain't never even heard of Lovingston Right , and where is that at ? That's wild Lovingston Virginia . Yeah , I've been around Virginia a long time . I ain't never heard of it .

Speaker 3 3:20

Yeah , it's new to me . Never heard of them . So that's your local scores everyone . And then upcoming high school games .

Speaker 2 3:33

No games yesterday .

Speaker 3 3:35

No , I believe there was none yesterday , on Saturday nothing . So I lost my train of thought yeah hanley plays james wood this tuesday and then friday . The big one everybody wants to see is uh hanley versus skyline , and that'll be at hanley . So that's your upcoming uh games there hanley needs to smoke them , boys good to meet you . So that's your upcoming games there . Hanley needs to smoke them boys . Get them out of here . James Wood , oh Skyline , they better not sleep on James .

Speaker 2 4:13

Wood , though Michael Bell and them , be over there , they ready .

Speaker 3 4:18

They got some big kids . Honestly , I'll just keep it real . James Wood , that game it won't be close at all . Hanley will smoke James Wood , Sorry Bates , He'll have them ready , but it's just the talent disparity . You know what I mean . And then Skyline I feel my prediction for that one is it'll be close , probably in the beginning of the game , but then Hanley will just be too and pull away .

Speaker 4 4:48

It's looking like Lovingston . That's my prediction . Lovingston's around like it's in between Charlottesville and Lynchburg .

Speaker 2 4:56

Man they got a kick , which is crazy because I lived in Lynchburg for five and a half six years .

Speaker 3 5:03

And that's who Sherando played yeah they played .

Speaker 4 5:06

Yeah , sherando , dang and some other surrounding cities is like Roanoke , lynchburg , charlottesville , stanton , it's like right there in that mix it's on Route , I want to say Route 29 , somewhere off of Route 64 . I want to say Route 29 , somewhere off of Route 64 . So big ups to all the local schools , though man stepping outside their box playing teams that are really not in their area .

Speaker 3 5:34

Yeah , now I'm kind of questioning when Zach was on and he was saying man , I'll put my schedule up against anybody Shit . I got to look at Sharando's schedule . Yeah , they seem like they . I got to compare schedules here it seems like Sharando's schedule . Yeah , they seem like they . I've got to compare schedules here it seems like Sharando's playing some competitive teams .

Speaker 4 5:48

Yeah , but he's smart to play outside of the box . Nelson County .

Speaker 2 5:50

I ain't going to lie , we've never heard of them , so I don't think they're that big . They can't be that big .

Speaker 3 5:55

That's the thing I've got to look into , but Charlottesville .

Speaker 2 5:58

When is that Hanley-Charlottesville game ?

Speaker 3 6:01

Oh , that's in a couple weeks . Give me a second , wayne , you going to that ?

Speaker 4 6:06

What's that ?

Speaker 2 6:07

Charlottesville , you're going to play .

Speaker 4 6:08

Charlottesville Is it at Haley .

Speaker 3 6:11

No , I think it's going to be at Millbrook . That's what they have listed . Oh , that's right there At Millbrook . Yeah , it's still . They play on the 25th . Is that an invitational ? No , I don't know if it was like a neutral site or .

Speaker 2 6:27

But it'd be a home game for Hanley because it's right there . But that's weird that they wouldn't let him play at Hanley .

Speaker 3 6:33

Yeah , I don't understand .

Speaker 4 6:35

So anyway , as of now , Like Tony said , it's got to be a neutral site there . It has to be , so why would you drive across town when you got your old gym ?

Speaker 3 6:46

Like it makes no sense why would you drive across town when you got your own gym ? Like you're saying , unless something's going on at Haley , that day Could be , and they can't play at this .

Speaker 4 6:54

The girls might be playing that day , you never know , yeah .

Speaker 3 6:59

So that's the 25th , chris . That's near the end of the month when they play new . That's wild , mm wild .

Speaker 2 7:07

So that's the Millbrook for opening their doors for Hanley .

Speaker 4 7:12

Yeah , they should have just took that neutral site at Shenandoah , unless Shenandoah .

Speaker 3 7:17

Yeah , should have got Shenandoah's due . That's what you got on .

Speaker 4 7:20

UVA . That's what you got to think , though the availability of the gym . You never know what's going on on that day . That's probably why they scheduled it somewhere else .

Speaker 2 7:30

I think Andy has a concert that night actually .

Speaker 4 7:34

Justin Garber's band is playing .

Speaker 3 7:37

Justin Garber's band is playing . He might be . Hey , shout out to Justin Garber , though . He's doing his thing . Got an album out and everything . That's somebody we have to have on the show .

Speaker 4 7:48

Yeah , before we get into these NFL playoffs , I want to give a shout out to my Chicago Bulls for knocking off those New York Knicks last night .

Speaker 2 7:55

Oh , shots fired . Hey , I ain't got nothing to say . Jason Blunson had 28 at halftime and finished with 33 , so Levine and them all end up with 33 . I was like , damn , it was a wild game , but big win for the Bulls . Yeah , that's bad for the Knicks .

NFL Playoff Predictions and Discussions

Speaker 2 8:11

And guess what ? Shout out to somebody who's ranked number fifth in the podcast in the area .

Speaker 4 8:17

Oh yeah , who would that be ? My New York brother over there , because I'm a Chicago Bulls fan , so you know I had to give him a little bit of love .

Speaker 3 8:25

Yeah , so who would that be ? We're ranked fifth in all of the week area Podcast Chris yeah . Brothers with opinions yeah . So everybody thanks for the support . Yeah , we're fifth .

Speaker 4 8:38

Keep it up . Thanks for all the support .

Speaker 2 8:41

Behind two church groups at first and second . Third is a local real estate podcast and fourth is a local musician podcast .

Speaker 4 8:53

And then us .

Speaker 3 8:55

So we must be doing something right With Opinions Podcast .

Speaker 4 8:59

We need all the likes , subscribes . Keep showing us love , man , we appreciate it . Yes , sir , we're it . Yes sir , we're going to go ahead and jump right into this NFL playoff action baby .

Speaker 3 9:10

Well , do we want to do NFL or ?

Speaker 4 9:11

college first . We're going NFL , baby , let's roll . Okay , do we want to go NFL first ?

Speaker 2 9:16

Because today's the last day of the regular season .

Speaker 3 9:21

All right , so jumping into NFL , we're going to discuss the playoff pitcher . So AFC , we have , as of right now , you have the Bills , or I'm sorry there you go , the . Chiefs are first . The Chiefs are right now at the bye Bills , ravens , texans for Chargers fifth seed , steelers sixth seed . So scenarios me and Chris were discussing this is the Bengals won last night on a five-game winning streak and they need Denver and Miami to lose to take that seventh spot .

Speaker 3 10:01

I'd like to see Cincinnati get in there , because Denver's in the seventh spot right now . Oh , I'd love to see Cincinnati get in there , because Denver's in the seventh spot right now . Oh , I'd love to see Cincinnati get in there right now Because to me , I think , they're one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now .

Speaker 4 10:11

I'm pretty sure any team will tell you that's probably one team that nobody wants to face in the playoffs is Cincinnati , Because we know they've been struggling on defense man , but their offense is pretty high-powered man they're .

Speaker 2 10:22

But their offense is pretty high-powered man they can put 40 up in the games .

Speaker 3 10:25

Their offense is very scary . Like I said , I don't think anybody wants to play them right now . I mean , people found out They've knocked off Pittsburgh . I haven't looked at their last few games , but they've been there on a five-game winning streak , Shit Pittsburgh's on a four-game losing streak going into the playoffs .

Speaker 4 10:42

Oh , so they lost that game last night .

Speaker 2 10:45

Yeah .

Speaker 4 10:46

I didn't stay up for that one . Yeah , they did , yep , but yeah , man , the Bengals man , they're playing some hot ball right now . Man , and we all know Joe Burrow leaves the league in passing but like the defense sucks . That's why he's got so many passing yards , but Joe Burrow's still the top five quarterback in this NFL .

Speaker 3 11:04

Big Burrow , he's leading the league in passing .

Speaker 4 11:07

Well , he's leading the league in passing . He's leading the league in passing .

Speaker 3 11:10

What he's only thrown . I think nine . He threw one yesterday , so nine total . I mean we can sit here and say like , oh , it's just because they play from behind . But honestly , the Bengals pass , that's all they do . They barely run the ball they do pass .

Speaker 4 11:25

They have a good running back that they can get into minutes with Chase Brown , but a lot of Joe Burrow's yards this year has come from them playing from behind a lot Well yeah , I get it .

Speaker 2 11:37

Tony , you put him over Patrick Mahomes . Would you rather him or Mahomes , on the Dallas Right now ?

Speaker 3 11:44

Yeah , Burrow is balling , but no , I'd take Mahomes . I hate Dub .

Speaker 2 11:53

Would you ?

Speaker 3 11:55

rather have Lamar on Dallas or Burrow . Oh man , that's tough . I like both of them . I mean , gee , that's tough . God , I'd take Burrow as one . Lamar seems to choke in big moments . I mean I'm being honest , he does , but this is we're talking about right now .

Speaker 2 12:10

Who would you rather have Burrow ?

Speaker 3 12:12

over slightly over . Jackson's got to win the big game , man .

Speaker 2 12:17

Well , I'm going to have to . Burrow hasn't won the big game .

Speaker 4 12:20

Well , I'm going to have to disagree with Tony because , like Burrow's been there .

Speaker 4 12:23

If you look at Lamar playing this year , it almost looks like a video game . So the game has actually really really slowed down a lot for Lamar man . So it'll be interesting to see if he still plays at a video game level when the playoffs come through . That's what I'm , yeah , but what I've been seeing all year from Lamar dude his IQ has gotten way better . He's reading defenses a lot better man . He's putting balls where only the receivers can get it . I mean , he's showing me like it's a different Lamar than the Lamar that we've seen in the old days throughout the playoffs .

Speaker 3 12:58

Yeah , I totally agree with you . I think Lamar has grown as a player and he's just unbelievable to watch Josh Allen or Burrow . What I'm getting at is , in the big moments he hasn't came through Like usually . He plays like his worst games .

Speaker 2 13:13

Do you want Josh Allen or Burrow ?

Speaker 4 13:17

Man . But here's my thing . I'm going , allen , with those big moments that you're talking about in the playoffs , the years that he got bumped out of there , he really didn't have any weapons . Now he's got an arsenal of weapons around him . Man , we got Bateman playing at a high level . Flowers , hopefully flowers is okay .

Speaker 3 13:36

Yeah , he's definitely got , because he whipped that knee yesterday . But what's his biggest weapon ? Lamar Jackson , his legs , of course . So a lot of times in the playoffs , that's what makes him ? Dominant . You know what I mean .

Speaker 2 13:47

To me in the- , but he's never had somebody like Derrick Henry . Now he does Exactly .

Speaker 3 13:51

That's okay .

Speaker 2 13:52

They might dominate .

Speaker 3 13:53

So he could prove me wrong . I'm just saying he hasn't won .

Speaker 2 13:57

I mean and I know some- people they'd be like oh well , he has Derrick Henry , that's Chico . But I'm like , if you look at the history , everybody that wins . They had a squad Like Aikman had Emmitt and Irvin .

Speaker 4 14:09

Yeah , that's . That's what I'm getting , Joe .

Speaker 2 14:10

Montana had Jerry Rice , ronnie uh Roger and . John Taylor and all of them . Everybody has a squad , and that's how you win football . I like basketball . You need to squad to Dwayne , and then they turned around and gave him two .

Speaker 4 14:22

It's the ultimate team sport . But then they gave him two good receivers in Bateman and Flowers . But they got to learn the game .

Speaker 2 14:30

Those still ain't , even though Flowers made the Pro Bowl , those still ain't . Top 20 receivers none of them , not in my eyes . No , they're not .

Speaker 4 14:39

I don't think so who Flowers ?

Speaker 3 14:41

Yeah , they're not top 20 .

Speaker 2 14:45

You don't think he's a top 20 receiver in the league ? No , but I'll tell you who has two top receivers .

Speaker 4 14:48

Burrow who . No , I believe he's a top 20 receiver , but his consistency level is just not there .

Speaker 2 14:58

We're not going to go down the line , because 20 is a lot , but trust me when y'all start thinking about the Jamar Chases and Justin Jefferson and all of them , you're going to be like and the numbers are going to keep going . I'm like shit , he ain't better than DeAndre Hopkins , he's not better than Devontae Adams , and you're going to keep going on and on . I'm like , yeah , it's close .

Speaker 4 15:14

Well , I disagree . He's better than Hopkins .

Speaker 3 15:18

Like now yeah , I love Hopkins . He's one of the all-time greats I love .

Speaker 1 15:22

Hopkins , I love .

Speaker 3 15:23

Hopkins , but his age is catching up a little bit , right . So Zay yeah , but I love DeAndre Hopkins .

Speaker 4 15:31

Yeah , deandre's a freaking beast man Like .

Speaker 3 15:36

So who do you feel is coming out of the AFC .

Speaker 2 15:40

Well , who did the Dolphins play in ? New York Jets , yes . So who do y'all got winning that game ? Wayne , you have Jets right . I think the Jets will win .

Speaker 3 15:49

The .

Speaker 4 15:49

Jets and Dolphins game . I'm going to have to take the Jets because the Dolphins don't play good in cold weather and I don't think two is playing today , so that game's up here .

Speaker 3 16:01

The Dolphins don't play good in cold weather , and I don't think two was planned today , so that game's up here . Yeah , that game's up top . But you're right , the Dolphins don't win in cold weather . It's like no , but it's like below what .

Speaker 2 16:09

It's some crazy statistic and the Jets would love nothing more than to be to end their season with a highlight of knocking out Dolphins . So they don't make it because they're from the same conference .

Speaker 3 16:17

Yeah it's so crazy where the Dolphins can't win when it's below 40 degrees .

Speaker 2 16:23

So we're all projecting or predicting that the Dolphins win . I mean that Jets win .

Speaker 3 16:30

Yeah , I think the Jets win , just because it's in New York , so the Dolphins are

AFC Playoff Seed Scenarios and Predictions

Speaker 3 16:35

out .

Speaker 2 16:35

The other one is Denver and . Denver wins their end . So who do they play ? The Raiders , the Raiders , I believe .

Speaker 3 16:41

Where at ?

Speaker 2 16:44

Where do they play them at Is ?

Speaker 4 16:46

it Denver or .

Speaker 2 16:48

Oakland or Vegas . Let me look that up real quick Raiders have won two in a row .

Speaker 4 16:56

They're playing in Vegas and the Raiders play the Chargers bro .

Speaker 3 17:02

So who's playing Denver ? Who plays the ?

Speaker 4 17:04

Chargers , the Chargers and the Raiders are playing .

Speaker 3 17:08

Oh , who's Denver playing ? So the Raiders could win it , because the Chargers are on you . Denver's playing Kansas .

Speaker 4 17:13

City , but Denver's playing them in Denver . Denver plays .

Speaker 2 17:17

Kansas City . Yep Kansas City's not going to play Mahomes in them because they've already got first place right , or what if they lose ? If they lose , can Buffalo take first ?

Speaker 4 17:27

No , buffalo's already got three losses . They're 13-3 .

Speaker 2 17:33

So the Chiefs are going to sit Mahomes and Kansas City .

Speaker 4 17:36

I mean , if they're smart , I would , because they already have the first round by locked up at home field . Oh , they will , they will play the whole game .

Speaker 3 17:45

So who comes out of that ? Because Denver's got to win to make the playoffs .

Speaker 2 17:50

So Denver's going to beat them ? Is it in Denver ?

Speaker 4 17:53

It's actually in Denver . I'm going to take Denver in this game today .

Speaker 3 17:59

But sometimes you get that where it's a division foe , you want to knock them out , so maybe the Chiefs , just the Chiefs .

Speaker 2 18:05

Might be like let's just play Mahomes in the first quarter , get two touchdowns and then let's go .

Speaker 3 18:10

That's a tough one , but shoot . It looks like .

Speaker 2 18:12

But Denver's defense is lit .

Speaker 3 18:14

Yeah , it's very lit .

Speaker 4 18:16

And they got two good corners , man , they got a good front . Seven . That's what's kept Denver around , man , for this little playoff .

Speaker 2 18:23

Yeah , they got Pro Bowl starters on their team because they're nice , they're defensive .

Speaker 4 18:30

I mean not to take anything from Bo Dix and Cortland Sutton because they've been balling on the offensive side , but Denver's really there because of their defense , like Chris said . Oh yeah .

Speaker 2 18:37

So Denver wins their end . So then we lock Denver into that last playoff seed in the AFC .

Speaker 4 18:43

And with that being said , though , Chris , I'm not going to out throw one name out there for defensive player of the year from Denver . That's Patrick Sertain . Yeah , he's a beast .

Speaker 2 18:51

I like that , so you remember his dad . Oh hell yeah , come on now . His dad was nice when we was young .

Speaker 4 19:03

That explains why Patrick turned out the way he was Mm-hmm .

Speaker 2 19:07

All right , so another— but there's still seeding implications today . Like the Chargers can switch seeds , the Steelers can switch seeds , but they're both in the playoffs already .

Speaker 4 19:16

Yeah , man , it's crazy man , because because like Seattle's 9-7 , but they're already eliminated and they play the Rams today . We need the Rams to lose , so that's interesting . So the Rams did , they did . They beat Seattle both times this year well then they don't play .

Speaker 3 19:36

Seattle . I don't believe so , I think they split . You think they believe so , I think they split , you think they split .

Speaker 4 19:43

I think they split . That's interesting because Seattle is 9-7 , all right , and the Rams are 10-6 . So if Seattle beats them today , they've got the same problem .

Speaker 2 19:57

But Seattle's out , but Seattle's already eliminated , so the Rams must have swept them they had to .

Speaker 3 20:04

They're already eliminated . Or just a better division , that's what they go by .

Speaker 4 20:09

First division record so we'll be rooting for , we'll be rooting for Seattle in that game . The Washington Commanders fans .

Speaker 3 20:17

Chris and Wayne , I'll say this . It's like so AFC teams that have already clinched , they're in . Regardless , it's Kansas City , they're the one seed .

Speaker 4 20:27

Well , let's start from conference . Let's start from conference to conference . We'll go east , north , south west first . So we'll do the east .

Speaker 3 20:35

Well , I'm just saying who's clinched right now . Right Like to predict these games , like Baltimore's already in . Yep , houston Texans are clinched . Yep , the Steelers and the .

Speaker 2 20:47

Chargers . But they haven't clinched their seeding , the Steelers or the Chargers .

Speaker 4 20:50

They can flip-flop . Yeah , their seeding . They just clinched a playoff win .

Speaker 2 20:54

I know . So I'm wondering how , what's the actual who wins ? Who gets what seed ? Because you know , what I mean .

Speaker 3 21:02

All right , I'm trying to give you these scenarios . I have it up , all right . So the Steelers how they can clinch the fifth seed . The Chargers have to lose to the Raiders . Okay , the Pittsburgh could clinch the fifth with a win . So they didn't win , they lost . But now they must waitch the fifth with a win . So they didn't win , they lost . But now they must wait for the outcome of that game , so they will clinch the fifth .

Speaker 4 21:27

Yeah , the Eagles can get as high as five Tony's right , yeah , all right . And as low as six .

Speaker 3 21:32

There's only two what they have to have . They did their job last night .

Speaker 4 21:37

They beat Pittsburgh , so they need a Denver loss to Kansas City and a Miami loss which Miami probably will lose , and if Kansas City sits their starters , that might screw Cincinnati , because Denver could possibly win that if they sit their starters .

Speaker 2 21:55

If Denver wins their end and they're locked into what number ? Seven , yeah , so Denver wins .

Speaker 3 22:00

So Denver controls their own . They win or tie , they're in and they're locked into . What number ? Seven , yeah , so Denver wins seven .

Speaker 4 22:03

So Denver ever controls their own . They win or tie , they're in . So the five and six seed is interesting because it's between the stealing and chargers and depending like on , like Tony said , the outcome of wins and that one game , yeah , that will fluctuate , whereas the Steelers go five or six and same vice versa with the charge and the rest of the teams we're talking about , like Miami , has a Dolphins and Quincy playoff where there's a win and a Denver loss .

Speaker 2 22:24

The Steelers control their destiny over the Chargers right . If the Steelers win , they get the fifth Steelers lost last night .

Speaker 4 22:31

They lost last night .

Speaker 2 22:33

So the .

Speaker 4 22:33

Steelers need help today . They need the Chargers to lose .

Speaker 3 22:36

I just said that they need the Chargers to lose to get the fifth seed .

Speaker 4 22:38

But here's the thing , and the Chargers play the Raiders , and I don't see that happening . No , I don't . The Raiders will win .

Speaker 2 22:48

No , I like the Chargers to beat the Raiders . But what's interesting is so Chargers would go to five , which is what they would want , because then you go to Houston compared to Steelers . If you finish sixth , going to who ? The Ravens .

Speaker 1 23:00

But what's the point ?

Speaker 2 23:02

No , no , no . But the Steelers also know they can't beat them and it's a divisional game . But yeah , that is interesting , the Chargers pretty much control their own destiny .

Speaker 4 23:11

They just got to win .

Speaker 3 23:13

Well , the thing is like I just said they've clinched , though Do they rest theirs , they already know they're in Nah . But the bench , though , do they rest theirs ? They already know they're in Nah , because they're already in .

Speaker 2 23:21

I agree with Chris . Would you rather play Texans in Houston or against Lamar and Derrick in Baltimore ?

Speaker 4 23:26

Exactly , I mean true .

Speaker 3 23:28

But I'm not sitting my starters . I'm with Chris . I'm throwing the question out . All right , wait .

Speaker 2 23:32

No we get it . We get it . Yeah , we're asking you .

Speaker 3 23:40

Which do I mean ? I'm playing the wind . I don't want to .

Speaker 1 23:42

My thing is I don't want to face another like a division opponent your division rival right and , to play like to me , knock them out like the chiefs playing .

Speaker 3 23:47

God , there's so big a chiefs are playing who the broncos like to me . I'm going out like , hey , I want to win it because I don't want to see the broncos in the freaking playoffs , I want to knock them out , which is why I said maybe the chiefs play my homes in them first quarter and that's what get some lead .

Speaker 2 24:01

Yeah so , but that defense is so good . It ain't gonna be easy just to jump a hit up like that oh yeah they're one of the top defenses and the chiefs haven't been blowing nobody out like that this year . They figured out how to win games , which is that you can't knock that day . I don't care if they've only won 10 of their games by three , five points . They've won them .

Speaker 3 24:20

Yeah , they win , they pull it out .

Speaker 4 24:23

That's the key , and me , honestly , houston , sitting at that four seed . They're really not , in my eyes , a four seed , bro , they started out hot this year .

Speaker 3 24:36

But see , that's why I said to you guys . That's why they got that four spot .

Speaker 4 24:39

Yeah , but that's why I said to you guys off camera so the NFL needs to come up with a new theory , man , okay , don't take nothing away from divisional winners . Give them an automatic playoff berth . But once all the berths are solidified , then you realign it based off of records , because me personally , I don't think Houston deserves a four seed , and we can talk about that over in the NFC here in a minute . Like the Vikings you know what I'm saying Between the Vikings and the Lions , one of them are going to have to go on the road for a playoff game Probably Taylor , you know what I'm saying . And so we're like punishing teams for playing great throughout the regular season to have a road game . You know what I'm saying . So it's not making sense .

Speaker 3 25:24

I can see that I never thought of that . So you still don't punish the division , but then , once the seeding comes , you just go off their record . Exactly .

Speaker 4 25:31

That's what I'm getting at . That's how you seed the teams baseball for record-wise .

Speaker 2 25:41

Yeah , we give them a berth because they won their division . But just because you're 9-7 don't mean you get a three seed . But then I'm all for at the end of the day . Then scratch the NFC East , the AFC East stuff , just NFC AFC . Those top seven teams go yeah same theory . Sometimes , like the Rams and Seattle and them , they've won their division at like 7-9 before , when we had 16-game season and , like you said , and there's a team that could have won 10 , 11 , 12 games , but they didn't make it .

Speaker 2 26:03

Right , yeah , they've got to snub out the playoffs so that's why I'm like , but then it would come back to people oh , the history man , our division , nfc East , or whatever . Like we understand it , but man seven best records in , and that's it Roll .

Speaker 1 26:21

Yeah , like .

Speaker 4 26:22

I keep using the Vikings , for instance , man . They've had a great season this year , man , but they're probably going to have to go on a roll in the first round they should dominate , but at the end of the day Tampa Bay can put up points , but we all know , playoff atmospheres are different . When you go on a road into a somebody else's stadium , the atmosphere is completely different . It's louder , like you just don't have that home field advantage . You know I'm saying but minnesota should have that whole field advantage , because what are they ?

Speaker 3 26:53

13 and 3 , could be 14 , yeah , so they're .

Speaker 2 26:56

They're both 14 and 2 . 14 and 2 . My fault .

Speaker 4 26:59

14 and 2 right 14 and 2 , one my fault . Yeah , 14-2 , right , 14-2 .

Speaker 2 27:01

One of them is going to finish 14-3 , which is a better record than anybody else damn near in the league besides the Chiefs and maybe Detroit or Minnesota . One of them are going to have 15 .

Speaker 4 27:10

Right , so the NFL has got to look into that man , Like it's kind of wrong , You're punishing great teams for playing well .

Speaker 3 27:21

Oh , I totally agree . I've been saying it for years Just put the best six , seven , however many you got in the play go by record , yeah .

Speaker 2 27:28

And then , if you look at it , then if they don't want to do that , okay , so the Bucs finish fourth and just say Minnesota finishes fifth , but that game still gets to be in Minnesota because they have a better record .

Speaker 4 27:41

Right , right , true , yeah , and I pick that as my game of the week Lions versus Vikings today .

Speaker 2 27:46

Well , it definitely is . Yeah , they both have to win to get first .

Speaker 4 27:51

It's a lot at stake exactly .

Speaker 2 27:54

Can you imagine saying that you've won 14 games this year and you've still got to play hard in the last game just to win ? Yeah ?

Speaker 3 28:02

right .

Speaker 2 28:04

And then be like well , our opponent also won 14 games . That don't happen like that .

Speaker 3 28:10

I don't ever remember two teams in the same division having that good a record .

Speaker 2 28:14

That's what I'm saying .

Speaker 3 28:15

The top two teams in the same division .

Speaker 2 28:17

But they have to battle hard in the last game of the season too . I got Detroit , it's in Detroit and I'm not going to lie to you .

Speaker 3 28:23

man Like no , I think that game's in Minnesota , bro . I looked that up . But I'll move on to the NFC now . No , chris is right , it's in Detroit . So , since we're speaking to NFC teams , so speaking to the NFC conference , already six teams have clinched and this is all your scenarios . So Detroit's in , philly's in , minnesota's in , regardless , green Bay Rams and the Commanders . So your scenarios today ?

Speaker 2 28:51

Who's that team ? You just said the Commanders , you know what the hell I just said .

NFC Playoff Seed Scenarios

Speaker 3 28:58

So today , atlanta and Carolina play , so how the Falcons can clinch is win , and they need Tampa to lose .

Speaker 2 29:08

I got Atlanta winning that game , but they need .

Speaker 3 29:11

Tampa to lose , so Tampa plays New Orleans .

Speaker 2 29:13

I got Tampa winning that game .

Speaker 3 29:16

So in your eyes they're in , so they win . They're in If they lose or an Atlanta loss . I'll take it because Tampa's one of our few losses this year , so that's your two fighting for that last for a playoff spot Tampa and Atlanta , yeah , but we got to honestly sit here and think okay , the third and fourth seed will definitely be wrapped up between the Falcons , the Rams and the Bucs .

Speaker 4 29:39

Now you're going to sit here and tell me , out of those three teams , they're better than the Lions and the Vikings . See , this is where I'm going back to that theory of they need to reseed this stuff , man . So out of that Vikings and Lions game , if you win , you're the number one seed , if you lose , you drop down to five .

Speaker 3 29:56

Yes , Yep , Like that's crazy . Do they drop to the six or is it lower than that ?

Speaker 4 30:01

No , it's a bit . They'll go to the fifth . Okay , all right .

Speaker 3 30:04

So they'll either get the one or the fifth yeah .

Speaker 4 30:06

One or the five . Which will put the commanders at a higher seed than either one of them . Because see ?

Speaker 3 30:17

what's the ? Well , no , no , my bad , my bad six or seven , because what's so funny is the top four are division winners , automatic right . All right , then . Once it gets to the wild , the last three , but then they go by record for the wild card spots . Why ?

Speaker 2 30:32

so it's like , it's like the format , because they're like you when you division that's how it's always been they're going to say that you automatically get in , so those four in , and then who's the three next best records ? And that's what they do . Yeah , but you're right as far as being like well , if you win this , more games than the other team , but they'll be like well , that know the Vikings , but we still don't even know who's one seed .

Speaker 2 31:05

On the last Sunday of the season , we don't know who's the one seed that's what I'm getting at .

Speaker 3 31:09

The last scenario is Detroit and the Vikings Win , you're number one seed home field .

Speaker 2 31:14

I got Detroit Lose you're the fifth seed .

Speaker 3 31:20

That's just a bugle .

Speaker 2 31:21

I have Detroit . It's at home . They're hungry and their coach is amazing he's going to have them , boys , fired up .

Speaker 4 31:25

Hey . Vice versa with the Vikings , though Team is good , they got a great coach . Hey , man . This is why this is a game of the week . Man . This is what we look for every Sunday .

Speaker 3 31:34

Man games and matchups like this , so who gets in in your eyes ? We know Detroit , Minnesota . Who gets in Tampa or Atlanta ?

Speaker 4 31:42

I'm going to say Tampa .

Speaker 2 31:44

Because they're going to play the bum-ass Saints .

Speaker 4 31:46

I'm going to tell you right now I would not want to see Atlanta in the playoffs bro .

Speaker 3 31:51

They don't deserve to be there . Oh , I thought you said you wouldn't want to see them . I don't want to watch them as a playoff team because they suck . Oh yeah , they're too inconsistent .

Speaker 2 32:01

The Saints might do what they're good at and rally , and they're going to rally behind that killing and stuff that happened on New .

Speaker 4 32:08

Year's Eve , oh shit .

Speaker 2 32:10

True , true they might rally behind that and be like this is my fucking shit . Like Big Pop and the Red Sox , they might feel it that energy might be crazy . Is it in New Orleans ? The Red Sox , they might feel it that energy might be crazy . Is it in New ?

Speaker 4 32:20

Orleans ? Is it in New Orleans , I believe . So I think you're right .

Speaker 2 32:25

I want to say New Orleans , if it's in Tampa , it's over , but if it's in New Orleans , man , they might really rally on that . No , it's in .

Speaker 3 32:32

Tampa . It's over , tampa wins . Tampa needs to make it Because , to me , I love Baker Mayfield and I've always liked him . Browns are idiots getting rid of Baker Mayfield .

Speaker 2 32:44

So your second seed we don't know the first yet because it's that game of the week but the second seed is automatically Philly .

Speaker 3 32:52

Yes , yes , they locked up Automatically . They already have their . They're locked . The rest of the seedings aren't locked .

Speaker 2 32:59

The third seed is no , it's not .

Speaker 4 33:02

If the Rams and the Bucs win , the Bucs become the third seed .

Speaker 3 33:05

Yes , none of the other seedings are second and the Rams are playing at Seattle and Wayne your question earlier .

Speaker 2 33:10

they've only had one game so far , november 3rd , and the Rams won . So if Seattle wins today , seattle should be able to make the playoffs .

Speaker 4 33:18

No , they can't make the playoffs because they must have been swept by the .

Speaker 3 33:21

Rams they can't they play the Rams today ? Interesting .

Speaker 2 33:29

The Rams are 1-0 against them , so I'm confused about that If ?

Speaker 3 33:32

they win today .

Speaker 2 33:33

If Seattle wins , they have the same record and they would be 1-1 against each other .

Speaker 3 33:36

Chris , to answer your question , these are the seedings that are locked . They won't move these teams . Kansas City is the one seed in the AFC .

Speaker 2 33:43

No , not the AFC NFC . Well , I'm just , he's giving you a rundown .

Speaker 3 33:47

I'm giving you a rundown . Afc Kansas City is at the one spot , Buffalo is locked into the two seed and Houston is locked in at the fourth seed yeah , the AFC .

Speaker 4 33:58

the top four seeds are already locked .

Speaker 3 34:00

No , no no , the third seed's not locked yet . Yeah , ravens , because they had well as of this , it could either be Baltimore , or which is it's going to be , baltimore , baltimore , look , it's right there . Oh okay , I'm sorry , you must have updated the .

Speaker 4 34:13

Chiefs have the number at three and the Texans are locked in at four , so five , six and seven is the only thing that can function in the NFC All right Mine is not updated , my fault . So what I have is NFC seedings are locked .

Speaker 2 34:31

But we didn't even finish with the scenarios between the Rams , the commanders , like there's changes and who's the other team , tampa Bay and stuff , because one of us can be 5'6" , I mean 5'6" , 7" , so none of us will be 5 , but between the Commanders , the Rams and the Bucs , we can switch between 5 , I mean between 6 and 7 .

Speaker 3 34:52

Yeah , you guys can be . The highest Washington you can get is a 6E .

Speaker 2 34:56

Which means that we would go on the road to Green Bay . Yes , right , yep , because the scenario could be no , but we want Green Bay to lose , then the Rams to finish third , so we can be sixth and we go to . I'd rather play at the Rams .

Speaker 3 35:12

There's so much to keep up , but what can happen is the difference . Is , chris , what you're saying is Washington can finish the highest at the sixth and they'd have to . What they'd get ? A home rebate would come to them .

Speaker 2 35:27

No , we wouldn't get a home . What am I wrong ? The thing is , if we finish seventh , we automatically go to Philly , but if we finish sixth , oh yeah , what about this ? If we finish third and we would either go to , not St . If we finish sixth , who finishes third and we would either go to , not St Louis ? What do they play now ? Los Angeles Rams or Green Bay Packers ? I would definitely not want to go to Green Bay because it's different than Lambeau . I'd rather fucking go to St Louis or wherever the Rams play at night .

Speaker 4 35:58

The commanders definitely want to succeed . You don't want that .

Speaker 2 36:01

seventh the seventh is going to Philly , which is a rivalry game . I don't know .

Speaker 3 36:07

I mean , I think , either or I just keep it real Commanders , or Green Bay can knock them off .

Speaker 2 36:13

And we're one and one against Philly this year , and the time they beat us was only about six points .

Speaker 4 36:19

But as a commander fan , I would rather play the Rams than Philly .

Speaker 2 36:23

But would you rather play in Green Bay or Philly ? If Green Bay gets third , we're either going back to Philly or we're going all the way to Lambeau Green .

Speaker 3 36:33

Bay gets third , green Bay can't get third , they can't get third .

Speaker 2 36:36

Oh , they're fifth .

Speaker 4 36:38

They can only finish sixth or seventh . That's it .

Speaker 2 36:40

That's wild . And see they have more wins than us .

Speaker 4 36:43

And the reason being is because of the Vikings and the lions being 14 and two , it's so good .

Speaker 2 36:49

Okay , yeah , that's wow you got that Cause .

Speaker 3 36:52

all right , chris , you get your division Like we said it's . It's either the Detroit or Minnesota . In the one seed , philly's locked into two . The third seed is either going to be probably the Rams or Tampa , because they're going to be a division winner .

Speaker 2 37:05

Oh , so we definitely want the sixth , because we can go to either one of them . So then the fifth .

Speaker 3 37:09

Like Wayne just said , the loser of the Minnesota to Detroit is going to get the fifth seed , so we wouldn't have to worry about Green Bay until the second round either . So then that bumps you guys down Washington and Green Bay behind Minnesota the last two seasons .

Speaker 4 37:23

But what I'm trying to understand is how Seattle is already eliminated though .

Speaker 2 37:29

And if they beat the Rams today , they're tied .

Speaker 4 37:32

They're tied , though . That's what I'm saying , and they would be 1-1 against each other .

Speaker 2 37:36

So maybe the Rams have been 4-0 in their other division games and they have a better overall record . No matter what in the division today , it has to be divisional record .

Speaker 4 37:45

It has to be man . We'll check it out real quick . Let's see Divisional record for their conference . That's why , bro .

Speaker 3 38:00

Division record . That's why , bro yeah , they've got to be division after division Division record the Rams must have it locked .

Speaker 4 38:06

Nah man , the Rams are 4-1 in their division . Seattle is 3-2 in their division . So if they beat the Rams today , they will both be 4-2 in the division .

Speaker 3 38:16

That's why I'm kind of Because it comes down to probably head-to-head and all that .

Speaker 2 38:22

Head-to-head , they would be one and one they would be one and one against each other .

Speaker 4 38:25

If Seattle wins the game , I don't know , everybody in the NFC is eliminated , but the Rams Gotcha . So I'm trying to figure .

Speaker 3 38:37

But do you want to see Seattle in the playoffs ? Anyway , I'm going to think out . But do you want to see Seattle in ?

Speaker 4 38:44

the playoffs . Anyway , I'm going to think I'd rather see the Rams . You know , I think why Seattle got eliminated is because the NFC North has three teams in the playoffs . That's how Seattle gets bumped out of the game . Oh , because of that one division . Yeah , you're right , because of that one division . It has to be . You know what I'm saying ? Because if they win today and they're both tied , no matter what , the Rams are automatically in bro . Yeah , they're in . Yeah , they can sit their starters today . They are going to sit their starters . I heard this morning that Jimmy Garoppolo is going to be throwing the ball for the Rams today . Oh Lord , jimmy G , jimmy G is going to have a sighting today .

Speaker 3 39:24

All right guys . So we got to move on All right real quick . Who comes out of the AFC ? Who's in the Super Bowl ? I'll let Chris go first . Who do you feel comes out of the AFC ? I'll let Chris go first .

NFL Playoff Predictions Discussion

Speaker 2 39:38

Oh , I want to look at how it's going to be seeded , Because if you say like , if you have to play Ravens and Buffalo to get there , that could be , tougher than if you have to play somebody else . Who is your pick ? To come out of the A .

Speaker 3 39:52

We'll do it like this , all right , so Baltimore .

Speaker 4 39:55

We'll do it like this We'll make a pick today and then on next week's podcast when we know the final season , then we can switch it up .

Speaker 2 40:03

I'm picking Lamar to shut the world up , including my brother Tony , and say I'm getting to the big game and probably going to win it .

Speaker 3 40:13

All right . So who's facing Baltimore ?

Speaker 2 40:17

Battle of the Beltway . Baby oh , Surprised with Jaden . Daniel , daniel , surprising everybody , you homer come on now . Hey , that's gonna surprise everybody . This first rookie gonna take his team to the big game . But if I had to pick somebody besides this , I want to pick zeb's team . I would love to see detroit get there too all right .

Speaker 3 40:36

So , wayne , who do you have ? They've never been Super . Bowl predictions right now .

Speaker 4 40:41

All right , so we all know that AFC's got probably three of the top quarterbacks in the league , possibly four . We got Mahomes , you got Allen , you got Lamar , you got Burrow and Burrow's not even locked to get in yet we want them to get in Right .

Speaker 4 40:57

I'm going to go ahead and eliminate the Bengals because of their defense . Right , I'm going to go ahead and eliminate the Bengals because of their defense . The Bills they keep on saying that Josh Allen is the MVP of the year . You know what I'm saying . But we've got to stop and realize also , josh Allen has a running back that leads all running backs in touchdowns this year , and James Cook with 14 . So , with that being said , if they don't get no help in production out of that backfield in Buffalo , they won't make it . So , with that being said , that leaves me with two teams the Chiefs and the Ravens . And I like the Ravens this year to overcome that obstacle because I believe LaBarra's got a lot more records , a lot more weapons this year to pass that ball around to and coming out of the NFC , it's going to be a tough one . Man , I like either the Lions or the Vikings , but if I had to pick today , I'm going to say Baltimore versus Detroit .

Speaker 2 41:54

How's that Big ?

Speaker 3 41:56

Well , I'm still with my original . I've said this a few weeks ago . I'll just keep it short . It's Buffalo and Detroit . To me , if you have to go through Buffalo , they're the second seed Right and Baltimore has whoever .

Speaker 2 42:10

But Buffalo would have to still go to Kansas City . Maybe they don't know about barbecue like that down there .

Speaker 3 42:18

But I don't think . I think Kansas City gets knocked out .

Speaker 4 42:21

But here's the thing though .

Speaker 3 42:22

That's my big . I think they're going to lose .

Speaker 4 42:24

But here's the thing they're not making the AFC championship . Tony might be one of some , because if Buffalo does end up playing Kansas City out of every AFC team , they're told whether Buffalo has played Kansas City the best out of any AFC team .

Speaker 2 42:39

They beat them already this year .

Speaker 4 42:41

That's their only loss .

Speaker 2 42:42

Exactly Hard to do it twice in one season it is my homies , come out and be like look , I ain't getting me this time .

Speaker 3 42:51

But I just think it's going to catch up to Kansas . What were we talking about earlier ? They played these close games like squeaking them out . It reminds me of Minnesota that one year when they were what's it like a good right 14 , like they lost one or two games that year , but they were what is most people always talk about ?

Speaker 2 43:09

all the analysts , the professionals and stuff . Lamar can't win the big one , alan can't win the big one , blah , blah , blah , blah right . The reason being is because of that kid in kansas and their team , Andy Reid , and them , that kid Mahomes , no matter what them close games I just told you about , they figured out and found ways to win every single one of those I know . So the reason Lamar and Josh don't have any rings or nothing like that yet is because Mahomes already got three of them things .

Speaker 3 43:37

Well , I'm just saying I'm piggybacking off what Wayne said . It's tough To me . Playoffs is a different atmosphere . I understand Kansas City . They've won . I'm saying Lamar and Josh , they're not the same , they're going to lose this is separate from that , though .

Speaker 2 43:52

But Lamar and Josh get hated on so much but I'm like , but the dude in Kansas City won all of them damn near Ben . So like it's tough for those other two kids , man , I get it , but they're fucking playing the team . That's just dynasty .

Speaker 3 44:04

Well , to me , this is the year they get knocked off . They're not making the Super Bowl . They're not making the Super Bowl .

Speaker 2 44:10

It's going to be a couple of overballs , so I'd rather see the Rebels in the Super Bowl , but they can't do it .

Speaker 4 44:16

You know what I mean . I mean only time will tell man . I mean you can never count , like Chris said , a guy that's already got three four hours , oh , of course . And another thing that you've got to take into consideration also , tony is Kansas City's healthy now ?

Speaker 3 44:28

Yeah , offensively , and defensively . Is Pacheco back ? Isn't the Ravens ? All of them are back , all of them .

Speaker 4 44:34

Hollywood Brown .

Speaker 3 44:35

Pacheco . All of them are back . Okay , but isn't the Ravens healthy in Buffalo ? Yeah ?

Speaker 2 44:41

but they don't have Andy Reid , patrick Mahomes and they don't have a team that's been in four out of the last five Super Bowls . So that experience factor is crazy .

Speaker 3 44:49

I understand . So you're saying and it has to go through Kansas City . Every game I got to change your pick there , because now you make it sound like nobody's going to beat Kansas City .

Speaker 4 45:01

No , because pick there , because now you make it sound like nobody's going to beat Kansas City . It's a tough road , though I can't understand , because every game has to come .

Speaker 2 45:06

Lamar finally gets out that , oh , he can't win it , as you think . Josh Allen is going to finally have that year .

Speaker 3 45:11

He can't win it .

Speaker 2 45:12

It's close , I think , lamar having Derrick Henry this year will be the X factor . That dude , just hand that dude the rock when y'all need to just shut the rock , run the clock , just take the toe on the other defense . Chris Jones and them going to have to bring a whole lot to Mr Derrick Henry that ain't easy .

Speaker 4 45:29

And then , once you get focused in on Derrick Henry a lot man then you forget about players like Flowers , andrews likely Lamar's got some weapons . Andrews is an over-reliable cut and if you've noticed , man , the Ravens have been playing a lot of double tight end sets .

Speaker 2 45:48

Man and Tony , how hard is this for defenses ? I'm about to hand the ball to the left to Mr Derrick Henry . You're going to have six to eight people ready to go . Oh my God , it's Derrick Henry . We've got a gang tackling and then Lamar just whoop the other way .

Speaker 3 46:04

See you , bootleg . Well , that's a thing Straight bootleg .

Speaker 2 46:08

Well , it's read option is what they run Of course , but not if you have a professional running back .

Speaker 3 46:13

Yeah , it's like you've got to be careful . Well it's .

Speaker 2 46:15

Saquon too , but you know what I mean . That's tough . Yeah , we're lucky as fans of other teams that he don't have him , a CD Lamb , a Justin Jefferson or somebody If he had one of them kind of guys , oh man it would definitely be over . Baltimore's got two .

Speaker 3 46:34

Lamar , if he would have a receiver like one of the greats .

Speaker 2 46:37

But if they ain't Flowers . It's nice man . He ain't Justin Jefferson and CD Lamb and Chase .

Speaker 3 46:40

They're like you're naming , like the top three wild receivers in the fucking league .

Speaker 2 46:43

Okay , and look at their quarterbacks though , so we're looking at . If he had one of those weapons now , it would be super ugly , lamar ain't never had one You're not giving .

Speaker 4 46:50

Zay . Enough credit . Zay's a good receiver man .

Speaker 2 46:55

He's not a number one , true number one .

Speaker 4 46:57

I get what Chris said . He's not that solidified true number one . You got to think about it like this , tony True number ones , like the names that Chris has been saying they still get their money .

Speaker 1 47:10

They didn't think CD was a true number one .

Speaker 2 47:12

Yes they did ? They drafted him with that .

Speaker 3 47:14

No , they did . But a lot of people were saying , because of his size is CD truly a number one wide receiver ? And he had to prove it .

Speaker 2 47:21

They're not asking that now Go back . That's what I'm saying . So I'm saying the same thing about Zay Flowers .

Speaker 3 47:27

I'm taking up for Zay Flowers .

Speaker 2 47:29

I think he's nice . So you trade CeeDee Lamb and take Zay Flowers .

Speaker 3 47:31

No , I'm just saying you are giving the boy enough credit for how good he is . He's good good , he's not that guy you're like he ain't a top 20 wide receiver dude , he's not .

Speaker 2 47:45

He's top 10 elite in the league . I don't go all about stats when people do that , because there's the eye testing . Everybody has different offensive lines , different offensive coordinators , different quarterbacks . That makes a whole debate everybody .

Speaker 3 47:56

There are fans out , there is zay flower is a top 10 wide receiver and I give give us some feedback .

Speaker 4 48:02

Please give us feedback , because I always go off of numbers . Don't lie , you know what I'm saying . Like you're never going to see this out of Chase or Jefferson

Debating Top NFL Wide Receivers

Speaker 4 48:10

. Like week four , Zay Flowers had one catch for 10 yards . Week seven , against the Bucs , he had one catch for 11 yards . Week 11 , versus Pittsburgh , he had two catches for 39 yards . And previously let's see hold on At Cleveland yesterday , he had one catch for 12 yards . And the week before against Houston , he had two catches for 31 yards . That's not a true number one receiver .

Speaker 3 48:35

But is that more ? Is that Zay's fault , or is that more the offense ?

Speaker 4 48:38

No , it's Zay's fault , because in all those games that I named he still got his targets .

Speaker 2 48:43

Yeah , but , tony , that's why I just told you that I don't always go straight off stats , because there's differences depending on what system and schemes you're in , and that . But he's not no top ten , are you crazy ?

Speaker 3 48:56

No , in my eyes he is .

Speaker 4 48:58

He is a top ten wide receiver in the NFL , and this year he's only had five 100-receiving yard games .

Speaker 2 49:05

Five . We can do 10 real quick . Tony , You're not taking him over CD ? I'm not .

Speaker 3 49:10

I know that I'm defending the young man .

Speaker 4 49:14

I mean the boy he made the Pro Bowl . I'm going to defend Tony . Yes , he's a top 20 receiver . Is he a true number ? No , he said top 10 . No , I'm not going to agree with you on top 10 . I'll say top 20 .

Speaker 3 49:24

We're going to come out with our top 10 in the NFL and let's see if I have Zay Flowers , I might take these words back . I might be like , oh shit , I forgot about this guy .

Speaker 4 49:32

I mean , but we got tight ends that is playing better than Zay .

Speaker 1 49:35

We're saying receivers , though , if Nico Collins got hurt this year he's outside of the top 20 stat-wise .

Speaker 3 49:43

Yeah , he hurt , he got hurt .

Speaker 4 49:45

But I agree with Chris .

Speaker 3 49:46

He still made trouble , don't he ? He did . And then that Nico's nice .

Speaker 2 49:51

That's what I'm saying . He's higher than Zay Flowers to me , so to me is it All of A's higher than ?

Speaker 3 49:55

Zay Flowers . Oh yeah , nico . Yeah , nico Collins , I said top 10 . I didn't say top five , nico's not top five . Oh , that's tough Nico's nice , nico's not top five .

Speaker 2 50:08

yet Dude , justin , jefferson and Chase . They're number one and two , no matter what right , of course , Of course .

Speaker 3 50:15

Oh , your top three is Lamb , Jefferson and Chase . Those are your top three , right off the rip .

Speaker 2 50:21

They ain't better than McLaurin . Shit Not those three . I'm talking about fucking Nico and them . They're not better than McLaurin .

Speaker 3 50:32

McLaurin made Pro Bowl time . Look at McLaurin . I love McLaurin too .

Speaker 2 50:36

He's playing with a rookie quarterback .

Speaker 4 50:39

I can make an argument about that final third spot for the top three . Yeah , tony always wants to . You know , rat on his Cowboys with CD , but we can't leave St Brown out from Detroit bro .

Speaker 3 50:50

Yeah , we always forget about him .

Speaker 2 50:52

He's beast and he plays with a dude named Goff , and he ain't no Mahomes in them .

Speaker 4 50:57

But I can give Tony 10 receiver names right now that are better than Flowers , right now .

Speaker 2 51:01

that are better than flowers right now . Aj Brown , Are you ready ? Tony AJ Brown .

Speaker 4 51:04

I'm going to go Chase one , jefferson two . I'm not giving you the order , I'm just giving you 10 receivers , just name and names . So Chase Jefferson , cd St Brown , that's four . Aj Brown Five . Puka Dekua , six . Aj Brown , puka Dekua . Nico Collins , dk Metcalf Not going off of numbers , going off of receiving Tyreek Hill .

Speaker 3 51:36

That's eight , Real quick . What did Tyreek Hill and DK Metcalf do this year ? What does DK ?

Speaker 4 51:41

say I'm not going off do this year . What does DK Metcalf do ? I'm not going off of this year's stats , I'm going off of just strictly .

Speaker 3 51:47

I put Tally above those , not above Hill Zane's better than DK . What has DK Metcalf done ?

Speaker 1 51:58

Man .

Speaker 2 52:00

All right , I'll put it to you like this . I would rather have DK than fucking anybody besides Justin , jefferson and Chase .

Speaker 4 52:07

Give Lamar a DK and send Zay to Seattle .

Speaker 2 52:10

Oh , yeah , yeah , DK's going to be way up there .

Speaker 4 52:13

Like Tony , I get what you're saying . You love your flowers . You like to hand them out to everybody . That's it . He's not the true number one .

Speaker 3 52:22

Yo .

Speaker 2 52:22

Flowers is nice he's nice Tony . Dk's a different specimen . Yeah , if he ever gets a real quarterback , it's over .

Speaker 4 52:30

Yeah .

Speaker 3 52:33

You don't even have a 1,000-yard season this year In 17 games .

Speaker 4 52:36

We get that , we get that . But then you got to start thinking about players that were injured , why they didn't get their stats . Like , I'm going to tell you another name out there . That's way better than .

Speaker 2 52:46

Zay Flowers and that's T Higgins . Yep , they got two number ones . Okay , top 15 . Top 15 ?

Speaker 3 52:50

I'll give it to you . I'll give it to you .

Speaker 4 52:54

Maybe it was a strip . Hey , hours away from Flowers he's good , but is he a top 10 ? No , all right . Top 10 receivers are consistent , bro . Those are the receivers that go out there , no matter whether they win a game or they lose it . You look at that box score they still got good numbers .

Speaker 2 53:14

What about Mike Evans ? Mike Evans is another one . He's a beast . This guy's done something nobody else has done since he started his career . Well , this is a debate about receiving .

Speaker 3 53:24

for another week We'll make a list or something .

Speaker 4 53:28

Yeah , we don't have to , because statistic-wise , tony Mike Evans right now is 28th in the league . We know why he's 28th because he had injuries . Oh , I do . You know what I'm saying . So injuries have a lot to do with people's numbers . That's what allows certain players to make Pro Bowls because of their numbers . Oh , of course .

Speaker 3 53:45

Well , yeah , we all know that . It's all numbers . It's like the MVP is just well , that's a popularity contest .

Speaker 2 53:51

Right , Okay , Tony . What about Debo ? What if Debo had a consistent quarterback ? Moving on ?

Speaker 4 53:56

from this . I'm over Debo . Debo's falling off man .

Speaker 3 53:59

Yeah , debo , I'm with .

Speaker 4 54:00

Wade , debo got some other stuff off the field going on . You're dressing like a girl .

Speaker 3 54:05

I don't know man Debo has not been showing up here lately . Debo is the Dwight Howard of the NFL bro . He's not been talking about consistency . There's no consistency with Debo Samuel At all At all .

Speaker 4 54:19

And I'm going to throw one more name out there , just because he's from the AFC .

Speaker 3 54:26

Is Flowers better than George Pickens ? After watching George Pickens last night , I'd say yeah .

Speaker 2 54:30

George Pickens was dropping everything . But Pickens and Flowers . Pickens and Flowers , they're kind of even to me . Yeah , dude Pickens was dropping everything last night Because of the same right , though I'd rather have Lamar than Russell Wilson right now .

Speaker 3 54:46

Oh yeah , of course . But I'm just saying , and for the first four or five games , Don't blame Russell Wilson for that fucking loss last night , because Russell was dropping dimes and flowers Pickens at least four that I can think of . Right now he's dead in his hands and dropping them . So don't blame Russell . He was putting the shit on the money and even Andrews had a big drop . It was what the end of the game . When they needed to get that fourth down , he was right in the hands .

Speaker 2 55:15

If I was Washington and I could choose between Zay Flowers and Marvin Harrison Jr , I'd take Marvin Harrison , oh no .

Speaker 3 55:23

I would Not hating on Flowers . I just look at the A lot of talent in the league .

Speaker 4 55:27

If I had to choose one of them , right now I'm taking Flowers , flowers is shorter we got to move on , man , because we got to get into football today . So you know what's coming now , man . It's your boys' favorite part of the show . Oh , wayne's pickle , it's wayne's pickle , let's get it all right let's hear it .

Speaker 3 55:47

So today .

Speaker 2 55:48

I'm ready , I'm writing them down today's the huge day , all playoff implications today ratting on wayne , y'all put your money up hey , ain't no eight legs today .

Speaker 4 55:55

I'm doing every game today , baby , let's go every game . We're taking the titans or no ? We're not taking the Titans . We're taking the Texans over the Titans . Can I ask ?

Speaker 2 56:04

you something ? What's up ? Can you put a little prediction of your score for those games ?

Speaker 4 56:09

No .

Speaker 2 56:10

Since it's the final week . It's the final week .

Speaker 4 56:12

Too many games for me to predict the scores . Man 34 to 20 . To get back to our viewers , when the playoffs start I'll start predicting scores , because it's fewer games . There's too many games for me to be given on every score . So we'll do Texans over Titans , we'll do Falcons over the Panthers , we'll do a must-win game for the Buccaneers over the Saints . The Bills beat the Patriots in a close one , believe it or not . I'm going to take the Colts over the Jaguars .

Speaker 4 56:44

I'm taking my commanders over Tony's Cowboys today , taking the Eagles over the Giants , even without Eagle starters I think that was a fluke last week from New York Giants . I'm taking the Packers over the Bears . I'm going to take the Seahawks over the Rams today only because the Rams are not going to play no starters . I'm going to take the Jets over the Dolphins because Dolphins don't play well in cold weather . I'm taking a must-win for the Broncos over the Chiefs in Denver today because I believe the Chiefs will sit their starters . I'm going to take the Chargers over the Raiders in a must-win game for the Chargers 49ersardinals don't nobody really care about that game , but I'm going to take the Cardinals over the 49ers . I'm going to take the Lions in a close one of the game of the week over the Vikings . I'll predict that score for you it's going to be 37-34 Detroit . That's a shootout and that'll wrap up the games for Sunday .

Speaker 3 57:41

So Wayne , according to you , with all these wins , this is the playoff scenario . Lions clinched the one seed and Vikings are the fifth . Yep . You said the Bucs will win , so they're in the playoffs .

Speaker 4 57:54

Yep , Atlanta gets eliminated today , even though they win .

Speaker 3 57:59

Yeah , so Atlanta will be eliminated according to weight . So Bucs will make it and Denver makes the playoffs . That's correct and knockout .

Speaker 4 58:05

The only reason why I'm saying Denver makes the playoffs is because I don't see Andy Reid playing his starters man .

Speaker 3 58:11

I get that . I see that . So then that means Cincy will be knocked out in Miami . Well , miami's already out . I would think they could miami ankle . Yeah , I don't think so .
