There's a game tonight as we record here from Lumen Field in Seattle be taking on New England in a Super Bowl rematch tomorrow from Australia we have the Rams and the Niners and we're here for all of it. Welcome Bucks fan. Yeah hello

1:06Packers fan. How are you? Great. If it wasn't licensed media we could have done like back in the saddle again or something like that but that cost money and that cost like license again we don't do that. No. What's a budget? Yes exactly. Yeah it's a desire. But we're here we're here we're going to give you some of our week zero predictions as far as offensive defensive players of the year. We're going to give you our playoff teams maybe a way too soon Super Bowl prediction. We're going to get our rankings our preseason rankings as we head into the very first week of the NFL here and we're going to break down this week in the NFL the games and give you our three locks of the week all that and more today here on Cherishot NFL Andrew anything major like Packer wise you know we always kind of start out with our teams and you kind of mentioned you're not super excited about this is one of the least less exciting years for you to begin the season. Well it started off with a shit show with Vita Vaya wanting out because he

2:09wasn't getting money then they decided to finally pay him after he made enough of his thing like I'm not as torn up as many other people about Mike Evans leaving because I'll I'll put it this way Mike Evans is a top 10 Buccaneer but you realize how bad that list is that there's any test of Verdi could be argued to be a top 10 Buccaneer in all time Buccaneer history. So like Mike Evans I always have seen and I've set this on Potos War I said this probably previously on that Cherishot NFL he's a good receiver who could have been better if he didn't just quit on routes and half-ess I'm not even talking about injuries injuries happen I can't blame a prison for injuries but like when he had James when he had anybody be it be it Fitzpatrick or the weird the weird lost years with some other random people before Brady and then during Brady he just quits on routes he doesn't go up and get the damn ball that's why I always like God wouldn't work because at least he attacks the ball he just his attack and gets him hurt so that that part sucks but like Evans

3:12could have been so much better than he is and he's still good but he could have been better and that's why I don't really care that he's gone because he's usually injury prone and he went to the most injury prone team and football for the last like two years so it feels like a good home for him it's like a retirement home the IR list just tuned to be and Baker I think as we're recording this just what yesterday got an extension for a couple years which is the largest Buccaneers contract in Buccaneer's history so good for Baker Baker deserved to get paid but we still have taught balls we still have an inconsistent offense that people are gonna get hurt we have a defense that picks and chooses when it wants to play because we still have taught balls so if we do better than seven and ten I had to remember there's 17 games in the season still getting used to that but like if we do better than seven and ten I'll be impressed yeah more upside than that what's that I said your team has more

4:13upside than that my team has a lot more upside than that I I think we just need to stay healthy and win enough games to get um Michael Parsons back right do I not talk about Josh Jacobs well I I think Marshawn Lloyd is plenty capable to be the number one running back for the Green Bay Packers I think the Green Bay Packers should step up like as an organization and watch the video and then do what they need to do I don't know that he plays this year I heard there's some other stuff on Pukinakua too that might come out so I don't know if that's true or not but I don't know I don't really necessarily worry about that I'm more excited offensively because they're gonna dumb it down in the terms of here's our three best guys and we're gonna target them instead of trying to get the ball three or four times the six different guys like they did for the last two years right like Christian Watson stays healthy that's huge that breaks open the top of the defense Jayden Reed stays healthy that's huge that draws the defense in because you also have running plays with him and gadget plays that he's super effective on

5:15and if Matthew Golden can produce like he was expected to and he looked electric at the end of last year when they finally started targeting him on routes that's what excites me about the Green Bay Packers what's nice to know one of us has hope I mean I think the both teams should make the playoffs or could at least make the playoffs we'll see it's hard to tell that NFC solve this so wide open and the problem is with the NFC North that's a tough fucking division right I mean yeah they're both I'll say competitive for two totally different reasons you know the NFC North is good the NFC South is the opposite of good yes that is would be bad so I guess what do you put you know four bad teams together four good teams together it will still be competitive with the division that that's accurate enough well let's get into some of our week

6:17zero predictions and things of that nature let's start off with offensive players of the year should we do that you want to start with defense let's defense wins championships we'll start with defense holes and I think defense is the easy one too all right you will start the aFC I think I think there's a guy in the aFC that finally stays healthy again for an entire season and there's no more miles Garrett in the aFC so I'm going with TJ what that's a good one that is that is a very good one it's hard to argue because I think I picked TJ what for general defensive player the year the last time we did this which was like two years ago I mean there's some there's some good guys in the secondary Christian Gonzalez sauce gardeners on on the Colts now so like if you have a really good year that way as a defensive back you can get consideration as opposed to like if you're the best if you're the best cornerback on on the Jets and they go five and twelve you're not winning any defensive players of

7:17the year you know what I'm saying Chris Jones could always have a good year because that team's probably gonna bounce back this year anyway so I don't know I like TJ what I'm it's hard for me to argue against that so I'm gonna give that one to you all right we'll stay defensive side I brought I just brought him up I think it's a no-brainer you put him in LA with that many more good defensive players around him let's likely you're able to double him Aaron Donald to be back once they get back from Australia I'm going miles Garrett yeah I mean I don't know why you wouldn't pick him to be honest like who lose the other detackle or TN that they had was it Byron Young did he have like 12 sacks last year so he's gonna be helped by Aaron Donald coming back to yeah because they have they have like they have a line that reminds me a lot of like the two thousand two bucks where you know you had sap you had

8:21simian rice you had all these people that could just open up holes and somebody's gonna get there so even if sap doesn't have the best year simian will and you're in the fucking and bogey McFarlane bogey McFarlane you know that's like he was there too so like the 96 packers with Sean Jones Santana Dodds and Gilbert Brown and oh yeah Reggie White oh yeah the the Minister of Defense yeah a little bit it's so I think it's very much that kind of vibe where someone is gonna look better I think Miles Garrett's the easy answer obviously because he was already a dominant player now you're giving him help so that feels almost unfair but it could be Aaron Donald you don't know who's gonna get the double team that's the worst part it's like playing the 90s bulls who do you double like most obviously most of time it's Jordan but then if you double Jordan then Pippin will kill you and it's just like well then what who kills you like you know pick your poison true very very true let's head over

9:25to the offensive side we'll go well let's stay in the in the NFC we'll kind of flip it and reverse it it's your firm and different band yet I was waiting for that yeah I think addition by subtraction and Detroit I think you're gonna get the full on Jamir Gibbs experience of being the one one number one there's no more David Montgomery as I see a potential hurt already yes he is yes he is but either that was gonna be my argument against you because he doesn't have any spell really yeah any either way though the thing about it is he's so electric catching the football as well and I think Dan Campbell really re-unlocked for lack of a better term that offense last year when he decided to make sure that Jamison Williams was was involved more heavily in the

10:26offense because he was down to getting like one or two catches maybe go weak without a catch there for a spell and Campbell's like this dude is way too good so I think once you have to pay more attention to all those other players that are really good hopefully the port is healthy for them Jeric off has been great since he's been there and stepped up so I like Gibbs I like Gibbs they have a huge here I think he was the projected number one fantasy pick for a reason I mean Beijon's great beijon total yards last year but you tell me who's gonna be on a bad team yeah the quarterback yeah he's on a bad team it's really just the quarterback think about it if they had a quarterback you'd be like oh maybe Atlanta could be okay maybe that defense kind of pulls itself together throughout the season but like they have they have offensive weapons man they just they don't have a quarterback yeah and unfortunately like the weirdest thing about MVP is the fact that people base it off of the team's performance that that kind of contradicts the name of the award but for some reason it's

11:26just how it's been dealt out for every sport doesn't matter if it's basketball football I mean I guess baseball is slightly different because that's a little more of an individualistic sport but still it's it's weird if I was to pick an NFC offensive player just because the big MVP is going to probably go to a quarterback see that's why I think I think Gibbs could be the first one to be a non quarterback in a long time you think he's gonna be like the big MVP now just the NFC one like the offensive player of the year no I think he could be the MVP I think you could see Gibbs end up with like 1500 500 you know 65 70 catches 20 total touchdowns see because this this is gonna be give away a little bit of kind of how I see the year going but I think CD lamb could win NFC you know MVP for offensive player for me that's so tough

12:27you want to really look at it that's tough because pickins has such a good I mean I know they throw the ball enough for both of them to get those huge numbers but yeah that's that's a good that's gonna be that's a team yeah we're gonna get to I don't want to I don't want to focus on the teams too much because we're gonna get to that shortly here but oh I know that's why I just kind of sprinkled in the games away a little bit of where I'm kind of going with that specific here on the other side of lamb is more consistent than pickins to I think that's one thing I can give him pickings is a little bit of a head case well he turned it around last year he was he was a little different last year but one year yeah I know you need me remind you of someone who stripped in Tampa after one good year well I would not compare anybody to that I'm just saying I'm just saying that's interesting person let's swiftly over to the MC side and while I think we could break the quarterback streak on the NFC side I think Josh Allen is gonna be the best offensive player again in the AFC I just think he's gonna unlock even more potential that he has with the new coaching

13:29staff they brought in DJ Moore they're already confident with James Cook so the thing they need to do is find a way to get Dalton King Kate on the field more than whatever that small that too small of a percentage was last year when he was on the field and they're throwing to him they're very effective hopefully they can exploit that and the guys just really good he's good but again he's kind of he chokes and that's always gonna be my even though this is a regular season award it's always gonna be me devaluing him to a degree because for all the numbers he puts up he does nothing when it matters like he didn't have any of the big boogie men last year and still couldn't get past the damn Broncos so like I'm like the Broncos were good too don't get me wrong I'm not saying that was a cakewalk but he had no excuse last year and still choked so assuming he comes back fully healthy everybody thinks he's gonna be fine week one I think

14:30you can't count Patrick my homes like the man himself has two MVPs he's got obviously three rings that we all know about I think he's got three Super Bowl MVPs for those three rings like and the two Super Bowl losses aren't on him even against the bucks when you know he had a half of a foot like he still did that Superman play where he chucked the ball down there and his damn receiver dropped it if if the receiver catches that ball that could switch things around that whole play looks different like I think it's my homes as a ward until he actually like directly loses it or gets hurt yeah you know it's always interesting what the receiving core is gonna look like over there how well is Travis Kelsey gonna continue to be offensively right it's this numbers have kind of been on the decline they did pick up Kenneth Walker the third that is huge like if they can kind of make sure the running game is key there and Patrick Holmes is

15:31working off that then yeah then then you got a really good shot at it so we'll see that's the biggest change because Pacheco was hurt last year and Pacheco is no Kenneth Walker even when he was good so like we're we're we're gonna look at a little bit of a different chiefs I think I think that's gonna help moms no it should be really interesting all right do you that's all I got for awards do you have anything else you had written down there assigned from week zero super bull picks no all right because we usually do that we usually do the way too soon before anything happens let's pick a super bowl match up well let's do this let's run it down here like this let's go and we'll start in the AFC pick playoff teams aFC East champion I got the bills give me a second to pull it up I've got the I also have the bills aFC North I'll go with the bangles I have the Ravens aFC

16:39self I'll go with the Colts save the FC West give me the Broncos I have the chiefs all right three wild card teams I have the Patriots the Ravens and the chargers no chiefs I have the Broncos the Chargers and the Jaguars okay I have the bills in the Super Bowl I have the Broncos NFC East give me the Cowboys same okay NFC North I'm gonna hurt you to say it I'm gonna take the Packers oh I'm gonna take the Lions NFC South

17:39Charlie give me the give me the Panthers I have it as a coin toss between the Panthers and the Saints because I give the Saints credit because they actually went on a run at the end of last year they're really the only NFC South team that had any momentum so they could surprise people because that is a wider open division so for Contrary in say call just throw out the Saints NFC West I mean we know I'm going I'm taking the Rams yeah yeah come on it's three wild card teams give me the Seahawks give me the Lions give me the Eagles we're close because I have the Seahawks I have the Packers because I have the Lions winning the vision so we just flipped them but then I have the Giants instead of the Eagles I think I think the Harbour Edition is gonna actually pay off this first year because the Giants picked up really good talent they were within striking distance of a lot of games last year they just choked it

18:43away and then also had a rotating door quarterback so if if Jackson Dirk can stay healthy and we don't have to do the Russell Wilson experiment or you know Jamis Winston doing Jamis Winston things I think that could definitely be a wild card team give me give me the Packers to go to Super Bowl I got a I don't want to let a Homer pick it's not who I would pick actually but yeah I'm gonna do it anyway I don't care I mean I don't like picking the Rams because it's the obvious answer but like I have to like right now week zero looking at it on paper the Rams are super teams don't normally win which is the only narrative that anybody talking about football has right now is that oh well super teams are usually overrated and they usually choke or it doesn't work out well last time the Rams built a super team what happens yeah the last time the Rams built a super team and the Super Bowl was in their house what happened oh they won the

19:45whole thing where's the Super Bowl this year in their fucking house what did they build a super team I feel like I've seen this story before yeah they can stay healthy you know they got the dual threat at receiver they have excellent secondary running back in Corham to go along with Kyron Williams obviously Stafford is brilliant and a hall of future hall of Famer so yeah we'll see I got the Buffalo Bills finally winning the Super Bowl I've got the Rams beat in the Broncos I mean the Packers the Packers win the Super Bowl I actually have the Lions winning the North and going to the Super Bowl losing the Bills so we're okay so which one are you actually so on right now yep that's where we go yep so either the Packers are winning everything or the Bills are winning that that's all that's all you care about no I don't I would rather just have another amazing season picking games actually like I did two years ago that was a lot of fun I mean I would like to pick the 100% correct Super Bowl

20:52at week zero like I did what three seasons ago you did it so that would be nice that was a lot of fun if you pay close enough attention there there's a part of this show that's right every year you just have to figure out what part that's the fun part that's the fun that's the fun that's the fun is usually very correct who is it this year every week we're gonna give you a lot of right answers you just got to figure out which ones those are oh this is like that fucking door trick where it's like one door that lies one door that always tells the truth but you have one question what's the question how many beers are how many beers are in the fridge that's the question oh that's how we come up with our answers so I like it all right well let's talk about these teams in in in what we think their potential is as far as let's rank them up here and we did it a little differently so you have a bottom five why don't you give me that and then I'll go into okay so you have a bottom five and a top ten right I

21:53do because the middle I think we can all just agree is tooth fuck knows so what we're gonna do is you're gonna give me your bottom five then I'm gonna give you I split the teams into four different categories not making the playoffs could make the playoffs should make the playoffs in the top five so we'll kind of you'll be the book end here you give me your bottom five I'll go through my knot couldn't should and then we'll get to your ten through six and then we'll go back and forth on our top five how's that sound that makes sense to me rock on give me the five worst teams this year as we head into this season that begins in 2026 well I think the the order is somewhat irrelevant because I think we're all gonna have the same five at the bottom that's all you got this year folks sorry if you want because I'm licensing yeah if you want more with given the budget yeah but but yeah so I think the top five

23:00or the bottom five are pretty much locked so the browns the browns have to be in the bottom because what the fuck are they doing like their defense is okay but it's still a downgrade from last year because they lost the best player and fucking football so they're in my not making the playoffs yeah they they have well they have no quarterback they don't even like they have four quarterbacks on the roster and they have none of them between four the running backs like jug kids is pretty good they're they're not terrible but like through the browns their offensive line isn't awesome their receivers when they're top guys like what Jerry Judy and he's not even doing that great over there like hey they have what are you doing they have one of the better tight ends in the league in my opinion fan and junior is really talented so it's it's it's fine if anybody please cover two and just keep some contained who he's not gonna go anywhere it'd be it'd be so interesting though if they had a decent if they if they even just had like the 16th or 17th best quarterback in the league and one more good offensive lineman it'd be really interesting to see

24:04how this team would be because they got a guys I don't just they have guys on defense right and let's just forget they got a really good football player from the Rams for miles gear in Jared verse okay you don't think that guy's fucking motivated so and I forget who's there really good corner Denzel Ward is that who's on that team is he still on that team I'll I'll I'll work on it you keep going okay well then we have to address the the always elephant in New Jersey's room the Jets they suck like they brought back Gino after his worst years since his I don't know reincarnation Denzel Ward okay Denzel Ward is still there that's good but like what what are we gonna do if it wasn't for the Browns and the Clippers like the Jets would be the biggest trocon sports so like to the have real a breeze hole breeze how is the decent running back but he doesn't do anything there breeze hasn't done anything what they fucking what who's their receiver here at Mitchell no wait I thought it's

25:08last name was Garrett here at Mitchell is their receiver from Ohio State number five yeah is it Garrett Mitchell yeah I'm positive I play a lot of mad okay I'll give you no it's get Wilson Garrett Wilson yeah there we go Don I Mitchell is their other receiver you mix them together that's I'm like I know that didn't sound right like I didn't know the name of the head but who do you sound right who do you think's better Garrett Mitchell or I don't I Wilson oh shit I like it Don I Wilson I like that name more but Garrett Wilson he's probably just gonna be in trade fodder that one's only good thing I could say about the Jets is the fact that they have a lot of picks next year they have like I think three picks in the top 60 because of all that the the trading they did we get in rid of sauce and getting rid of the linemen Quinn and Williams I think was his name so like they they've stockpiled picks for what's supposed to be really good draft it so they might bring themselves out of the bottom five next year

26:12but not this year now the lowly ass cardinals yep there are no might not even get two wins yeah they're in might not making the playoffs they are the worst team in a hard division they have no I like for set as a quarterback don't get me wrong but he was putting up career numbers last year and they went one and eleven after Kyler got well they did and then benched once they get to the point in the season where they know officially and maybe even a little bit even before that they should be putting Carson back and they should see what they have because maybe the kid can read defenses he's got a strong arm he's played it is at the highest level in college football right he's mature but I don't think it's a redefinance issue well we'll see some guys you just don't know until they get in there like you never know if you just got a guy yeah I mean offensive line is probably the big thing they do have like weapons on offense you know they have two good running backs they have two decent receivers they have

27:17the best receiving tight end in the whole football so yeah but unfortunately Marvin Harris and junior looks like he like lost a smile like he's kind of disappeared you know what I mean like Coco Gough survives after dropping the first set here to advance to the women's US Open semi-final those are words sure and I get it that's more interesting than the Cardinals but we have to go for the bottom five anyway hey pal I got you so speaking of being live let's also go with the ECW old pay-per-view barely legal because apparently that's what the dolphins are going with is their new new tagline for their team because they're the youngest team in the league and they're one of the worst teams in league dude I I one of my favorite things in Madden is just to kind of go into each team and like kind of look at the roster and see who they have and wow when I got to the dolphins holy cow like even just like a try not to put too much stock in Madden ratings but like holy shit it's it's really bad they

28:24you if you're in a if you're in a knockout pool and you need to basically what pick like 17 18 19 games in a row and you save the dolphins for last because they're gonna lose maybe you take Oakland week one and use them one time they play the dolphins maybe you start picking it up which is dolphins you know but yeah and I and I feel bad because Jeff Happley did such a great job up here and and and Malik Willis did one of the best backup jobs in NFL history over the course of two seasons like just came in and one games did not turn the ball over did his job and did it well so I'm really rooting for them but man that roster is I mean their whole team is just a giant reference to the 1972 defense you know because they were the no named defense well this is the no named all well well there's a dig there's a nugget for the history bucket that's I'm trying

29:31to see there it is this needs to be ordered better who put the I put it in order so we'll let it slide this okay that's fine and my last of the bottom five the Atlanta Falcons to a play football to a night four out of five I do not have them in my I do not have them in my up and okay so one two three four five six seventy nine I don't have them in my bottom nine I have nine teams that I say not making them I often how do you not have like B. John will just will them to a couple wins obviously but did you see to a to a play like Brucey and Brucey played better than to a like Michael Pennix cut Michael Pennix isn't as good as that dude who's playing safe because he's scared of contact like this team is ass the defense is bad to what can't play anymore Pennix is somehow worse than that B. John can only do so much I didn't put

30:37him in the bottom nine sorry okay so then who the hell is your other other five bottoms because you agreed with four out of five yeah I had the dolphins jets the cardinals and the Browns sure also not making the playoffs the Tennessee Titans folks not that's an easy one the Las Vegas Raiders folks not making the playoffs the Washington commanders folks not making the playoffs the Minnesota Vikings folks not making the playoffs and Andrew we just disagree on the NFC self the Norland Saints folks not making the playoffs which is fine which is fine but I don't know how you can see a light for the Falcons to even sniff the playoffs I think I just I think I just didn't want to put to NFC South teams in the bottom nine no I don't think I did I think I have two there yeah no I didn't yeah I only have one well that's nice I like I like I said I think it's a

31:40toss up between the Panthers and the Saints the Saints gave me a little bit more to hope for is just a fan of football but the Panthers I think looked better last year when they wanted to actually play the game kind of where I'm going with and speaking of that before before I tell you who should make the playoffs could make the playoffs The Steelers could make the playoffs the Raven could make the playoffs the Jaguars could make the playoffs the Texans could make the playoffs theiva but I think that's hard to play it because water get the better Joe check a greenhouse first studies these are our on that one. Well, we're dead already, but what about the rest of them? I think that's all within reason. Like, I like, you know, I had most of them. I think I think I had a couple of them in my, because like I had the giants making the wild card. I said that the panthers and the saints in my estimation were kind of a coin toss, so that doesn't shock me. The Steelers, the Steelers a little bit

32:45of a stretch, but obviously like I don't think they're complete garbage, and they have enough veteran talent and leadership, and Mike McCarthy should be able to will them to a, I don't know, you would hope a moderate, moderate record. Hopefully it's not nine and eight, and hopefully it's a little better than that, or a little worse than that, so they can get a better pick. So it depends on where you sit as a Steelers fan. If you, you really want them to go five and twelve, or if you'd rather them to go eleven and six, but I don't know, I don't know. Steelers are hard sell for me, and like I said, the Falcons are a no, that's a no for me dog. The rest I think have hope. Okay. Here are the teams that should make the playoffs, the Patriots, the Bengals, the Colts, the Cowboys, the Bears, the Lions, the Packers, the Bucking Ears, the 49ers. Now when we made our picks,

33:47I did not have the 49ers, the Bucking Ears, the Bears going to the playoffs, but I think they should make the playoffs. Because of the fact of the NFC South is open, the bucks are possible, and as the Bucks fan, I don't believe it, because I think that team is just coasting, and this is the year that Bulls gets fired, because the team is just going to implode, but that might just be me. Yeah, I don't know, I don't know. And then the Bears, I don't know, like they're hard. The Bears got some weird defensive injuries. Like I'm a Packers fan, everything, but there are a few things to think about, right? The teams that have all these wins by one score or less in a season usually have a regression the next year. And the fact that they had all those turnovers they forced last year, a lot of those guys that were causing those turnovers, especially

34:50in their secondary are gone. They lost a lot, they lost a lot on defense, in my opinion. So we'll see, I think Caleb Williams is just going to continue to better, especially with Ben Johnson. He's got good targets to throw. He's got two really good tight ends, Roman Dunes a solid. He's got two good running backs. So that side of the ball, I'm not worried about, I just don't know that I don't know. I don't think they'll make the playoffs. Personal, but I would still put it like in that category though. I feel like the Bears are the Bengals of the NFC North instead of the AFC North, their offense isn't the problem. The problem is their defense, which is weird since the Bears should be a franchise built off of defense, but this really hasn't been. Like mental laps is the last couple years of cost that team games. They have injuries now that are costing that will cost them games. They lost players that will cost them stuff. I don't really expect much from them. I wouldn't be surprised if the Vikings finished better than the Bears, in overall record.

35:54Who the Vikings? We'll see. That's interesting. All right. Well, there you have it. Oh, no, we got to get to the top. We got to get to the top 10. No, okay. Let's, you want to bring up, you got your graphic ready? I can't. Because I have a top five. So you can kind of throw in the five behind it that you have from my should make the playoffs list. So I would imagine, I would imagine between my should make the playoffs and my top five, all of your top 10 are in that list. There it is. So let's, should it be bigger? Oh, no, except for the Chiefs and the Jaguars. Oh, you have the Jags up there that I, okay. Looks good. Yeah, I think mine's a little, little different. We have hope for the Bengals. I think you put them

36:54in your should. I have them at least from the top 10 because I feel like they finally made some good moves with their defense. No, I like the line is still. What was that? I like the Bengals. No, but like the offensive line is still sus, you know, sus. We know that Packers might be 11 here. The Packers are actually, the Packers and the Ravens are like the 1112 situation. Like, no, honestly, like I have them right on the bubble. I'm just giving you heart. Because I just don't know what to do with them. And they have a lot of moving pieces like, you know, Ravens have new new coaches and their new coaches like mentors got a lot to fix with the Ravens. Like, is that defense going to stop sucking? Are they going to stop choking at the wrong times? Like, is everybody going to say healthy? Like, there's question marks with the Ravens. But I think, I think I have the Ravens winning the division when we went over that real quick. So like, I think that Ravens will figure it out. But that doesn't mean they have to start in the top 10. The Chiefs, I think we've, I've already alluded to earlier in the conversation that I feel like

37:56this is their bounce back here. Like, Kelsey, it's probably going to be his last year. My homes is hopefully going to stay healthy all year. They have a little better of a receiving core. They have a better running back than they've had in a few years. Like, their defense still isn't anything that like, you know, blow your nose at. So I think people just forget the Chiefs are there because they had such a bad Super Bowl. And then they were irrelevant last year because of the injuries. So what you're going to do? Eagles, you know how I feel about the Eagles. I don't like them as a team. I understand they have talent, but their whole offense is changing. You're going to put Jalen Hertz under center. You're going to force him to be, you're going to do the same thing you did the Don of a McNabb. You're going to take a mobile quarterback and force them under center and then hope that he works. Nah, that's that I don't expect much, but they could still surprise people because they have talent. And if Brown was that much of an issue for their locker room, maybe that helps. Maybe, maybe there's still some good stuff in their defense still has really good pieces.

39:00So that could work itself out. Jaguars, I like Kitty goes meow. You know what I mean? Not sold. I'm just saying, I mean you said something earlier, but like if they could just have people that catch the ball. Are they are they bashed, Tut in your horn? No, no, they're not. And you know I don't really like most things from Jacksonville, but I feel like again, this is week one, week zero, whatever you want to call it on paper. I think they have a good chance at actually staying in the top 10 for a little bit. Could that all blow up? Could they prove to be the same old Jags? Yes, they could. But that's not what week zero week one is about. You know what I mean? And the Cowboys. Cowboys I like everything they've got. I think I have the Cowboys in the same spot you do, number six. So then do you not have a 10 through six? No, I just had a should make the playoffs and then a top. I have a top five now. So as we get into your top five, I have a top five. So I'll say I would say that I would put the Cowboys right there after my top five. Yeah, no, I would say like that same kind of

40:03feeling. I like the Cowboys, but I Cowboys six. Line seven Packers eight Patriots nine Bengals 10. That's fair. So at five, I have the Philadelphia Eagles. I just got to, although I have Dallas winning the division, I still have Philly ahead of them until they overtake them. So they're right there. They're both really good teams. To me, there's no reason they both won't make the playoffs. Ty breakers. And I still think the giants are going to do slightly better. So that's where I have the Eagles not making the playoffs personally. Just because I like what the giants have done, but not enough to rank an unproven team in week one, you know, and you probably have my higher, but like the bills, I've already kind of explained my reason for not putting them that high

41:04because all they do is choke. They choke when it wasn't even the chiefs of the Ravens. But you still think they're both the best five teams in football at the start of the season. So, right? Still still make the playoffs. That's probably. Yeah. And that's the problem is that like I can say they're a good team, but it's like a good regular season team. It's like the Colts from the early 2000s. They could go 14 and two, but then they lose in the first round. They were in, be it if they got a buyer, if they had to play the wild card. Like being a regular season team is one thing. Being a team that can make the like make a super ball run and actually want to win a ring, that's totally different distinction. But I think they're probably top five on paper. I see you got the Patriots at four. I do. I got them in the top 10. You only had them in the top 10? I have them in the top 10. They're not in my top five. I think they upgraded their receivers, which they needed. Oh for sure. They didn't really lose much. Like the whole variable receney thing.

42:04Didn't really hurt them as much as people thought it might have. And if they have a really tough schedule this year, which they did not last year. But they still have a really good defense that they still have. Oh, I get it. And they have better, they have better offensive weapons. And if you know, if the quarterback play comes up to match what their weapons are right now. Sure. Yeah, it's hard to really argue that. Who's your for? I have the bills. Let me see here. Hold on. Wait a minute. Yeah. Okay. I have the I have the Broncos at four and the bills at three. So the Broncos. Why do you think the bills are better than the Broncos? I think Josh Allen. I think Josh Allen is going to take the bills to the Super Bowl this year. That's that's my like I'm not going to I'm going to be a Joker. I'm going to be pizza funny on that Fc side because of the Packers. But I think the bills are going to win the Super Bowl. I think the coaching change is what they needed.

43:06I think they brought another offensive weapon to continue to get better on defense. They have players on defense that are really good. It's a tough place to play if they get hope you to manage throughout the the AFC. So that's what I think. And like the bills and the Patriots. They're built in playoff teams just because they have four wins on their schedule. Like the jets and the and the Dolphins fucking suck. You know, I mean they're already foreign or to start the season. So but yeah, I like the Broncos a lot. I just have I have because a quarterback played them ahead of the Broncos. But the Broncos are super tough. The Broncos might have been the Super Bowl champions at Bolognix didn't get hurt last year. I mean Sean Payton continues to show you why he's one of the best NFL coaches ever. They have a very deep backfield. They added depth with Jalen Waddle outside and throwing throwing the ball. Solid defense. They have huge home field advantage just like the bills as well. But I just Josh Allen is why I put them at three in the Broncos at four.

44:08Who did the Broncos beat last year in the playoffs with Bolognix under center? When did that happen? In the playoffs when the game that Bolognix got hurt. Who did they beat again? Remind me? No, but when did that happen? In the playoffs? When did those playoffs happen? You still put the Eagles above the Cowboys because of last year. So because of last year, when did the Broncos beat the bills? Do you just really like the changes that the bills made more than what the Broncos have done? No, I'm blowing glaze. Oh, oh, oh, see, see. You know, it's one thing to come on here and try and be an analyst. But then when you get called off and be an hypocrite by your own partner, it's a real kick in the pants, you know? Well, you know, you can't use a criteria and then not use the same criteria. One of them was one of them soon to the same division. One of them's not. Okay, that's fair enough. All right, fine. So you can see

45:11I have the Rams at two because you know, and you know, anybody that's listened to the last couple of years knows that I do the ceremonial, the Super Bowl champion gets to stay number one until someone beats the champion. So no, you have the Rams. No, just because they're the better team of them. Yeah, yeah, I do. They have a better corner. That's fine. They have a better quarterback. They have a better coach. And they made I agree. And they made it and they have a big edition while Seattle had a big subtraction. Well, technically, the Rams have two big editions because Aaron Donald wasn't on the team last year. Well, either way. And I don't just notice I don't disagree. I'm just saying it's my ceremonial. You get to be them to work because you won the. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, no, it's fine. It's fine. No, it's the last week that the Seahawks are number one anyway. It's fine. I know. It's you never know. I mean, we could we'll find out tonight, right? And that would have a perfect set. Did we take a break yet? I don't think we took a break yet. I don't think we did.

46:12No, all right. Hey, where's Christopher Platt? Get him in here. Say something, Chris. Right now. Why should you visit the chair shot that come?

Andra blaz BC Tony back here for chair shot NFL the 2026 kickoff show week zero predictions have been made. Power rankings are in the books. I am I'm keeping my power rankings in this show. Like on a running notepad so I can flip back to the weeks and have the tabs open.

47:12So that's why they made the pretty pictures. Yeah, I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. Now I got to make some room for locks as we're going to get into the official picks for week one. And it starts tonight. It already starts. It starts on Wednesday. How do you like the new format of because I was thinking about that. My fantasy football league drafting has grown into basically the Tuesday before the season because it was I don't think we ever waited till Wednesday when the opener was out of Thursday. But and I'm okay with that. But do you like the Wednesday Thursday open and I got to tell you if I'm the Rams or the chiefs and I got to go play in Australia and I get what three extra days of rest going into week two. That's not enough. I don't like that at all. I understand they're trying to make this game global, but aren't they making enough money?

48:17No, you can never make enough money. Haven't you watched Wolf on Wall Street? You lived through the 80s. You understand how this works. How do you like? Oh, I don't. I just like I was never really a huge fan of Thursday football because like it was nice that it was like Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Thursday used to belong to college football. Well, I never watched college anyway. So like that that's why my football was always Sunday Monday. And then when playoffs in the end of season came around, I could accept that day. Spread it out this Saturday. And that was fine. But like now it's all fucking week affair. Like NFL has become 24, 7, 365. Now there's almost a damn game every day of the week. So like it's a little much. Like God forbid you have another interest aside from football. No, yeah, you and I are going to be busy for the next 20

49:18plus weeks because of everything else we do on the side. So with covering wrestling in each in our own ways and entertainment, each in our own ways and everything else. So yeah, we're busy guys, but we love the NFL and we like to get on here and rank so I do, but I'm going to complain for other people. That's how it was. That's fine. I don't like it. Think about all of the housewives. So just bitch about Sunday view with like the husband takes a piece. And now it's all week. They're just going to leave. Oh, think about if this was like 1992. And it was like five out of seven days of the week was I think I think more than ever women are a huge part of the fan ship for watching. I said, think if this was 1992, that's what I just said. And you know exactly the stereotype I'm going for. It wasn't meant to be serious. Bird favor would be coming in to take over for an injured Don Magikovsky. Very true. I don't even remember where we were going there, but no, I was so, you know,

50:20what was it? Oh, last thing I was going to say before we get into the gifts. Would you? Okay, so you can go back to no more Wednesday no more games except for Sunday and Monday except for the playoffs and you throw in Saturday. You get that or you can go back to just 16 games. Sunday Monday. Oh, give me the 16. They're going to go to 18 anyway. Let's get into it. That's fine, especially if they do more teams eventually too. Like they're going to go past 32 teams. They keep wanting to make it global. You don't think that there's going to be a global team at some point. You can't do 32 team more than 30. They'll figure it out. No, they will. Hopefully, yeah, whatever. I'm not. People probably said the same thing in the 70s when it was a 14 game season. You can't do more than 28 teams. Hulk getting angry. How dare you? How dare you fuse the AFL and the NFL? What the hell? We can't have more teams. Hulk feeling. Hulk feeling very green. You're an Eagles fan now. No. Okay, just check. Packers are green.

51:29Your cheese heads. That's yellow. If your cheese is green, there's a fucking problem. No, with the green and gold. I know there's green in the suit, but your cheese heads for a reason. What's your nickname? It ain't the greenos. It's the green bay back green bay. Cheese heads. Your Styrofoam thing is bright yellow. We're going to start talking about the football games. Fucking hell, Mitz yellow too. What the fuck? Feels good. It feels good to be back on this show. I'll tell you that. I do miss this show. This is a good show. I'm glad we're doing it again. Let's get into it. We're starting tonight's Super Bowl free match Patriots, Seahawks from Lumenfield in Seattle. Kick off 820 Eastern on NBC and the cock. It's straight up. It's three points. Seahawks are favored by three points. It looks to be a beautiful evening in Seattle. 70 degrees. No ring. That is a really nice dance. Seattle. Yeah, but I can't see it going much differently than the Super Bowl did. Yeah, I like what the

52:34Patriots have done, but we haven't seen them do it yet. They have to get a rhythm. Right. No, I have to be have a song to back for that. Oh, you know what? That's a good one. I think if I just played that, I think we're good, right? I've come up. We have to share the Quitoo word. We got the... There we go. That's hilarious. All right. We're good. Yeah, I think Seattle wins in covers tonight. I'm not taking that as a lock, but yeah, I would. Oh, yeah, it's not a lock, but I think if you're not betting, Seattle's probably winning. With the three points, I think Seattle still covers it. Seattle's defense didn't get much worse. They're running game. You can argue. Got slightly worse, but like,

53:39they're still the same monster until they're not. What was that bet? What was that goofy fucking Kobe Bryant skit? Are you the same monster or a different beast? I miss that one. Okay, it feels like you're kind of humorous. Send it to you at some point when I find it, it's like him doing a TED talk. No, I get the Kanye. Yeah, I think Kanye is like do the whole like, what if you are in a different mode? Is it like, are you the same monster or different beast? I can. I can. He's just like, what the fuck are you talking about? Not for me. Well, hey, you know what? Tomorrow's game is on Netflix. How about that? Good for them. So already we're starting the second game of the year, second day of the season. You need to have a streaming subscription to watch the NFL. I'm not separate. They need more money apparently. Poor indie company broke,

54:39bootstraps, barely paying their players. So they're playing in, see this is how stupid this is. They're playing in Melbourne. Okay. Now, Melbourne's 13 hours ahead of us, I believe. So if it's like 6 p.m. Melbourne time, it's like 5 a.m. here friends. What time is I like how that made you go and Google tells me how time works. I thought I had them up in my world clock section in my, um, clock part of my iPhone, but I just asked Grock. This shouldn't take you this long. The Grock clock? I'm gonna go to the Grock clock real quick. Hold on. So it's 15, 15 hours ahead of me, 14 hours ahead of East Coast time.

55:44So that's because the daylight savings will shit. Yeah, but yeah, yeah. Same difference. So 14 hours ahead of you. So tomorrow, when they kick off at 735 Eastern, or no, 835 Eastern, right? In the morning? No, they kick off tomorrow night at 835 Eastern here. So that means it's gonna be like almost 11 o'clock. It'll be 10, 10, 35 in the morning. They'll have a game on Friday morning in Australia. That's terrible. Well, that's what I'm saying. Like a lot of this doesn't make sense. So like, the Eagles and the Packers kicked off in Brazil, but that's like the same time zone. They were like central time zone, right? So like it made their, their, their Easter Central. Yeah, it's, yeah, it made sense there, right? Like London is kind of cool. Like you can get up early and watch a game, right? But like for the people in Australia, now you, I mean, I guess they go to rugby matches and shit in the morning and but a Friday, like I don't understand that. I get the extra day to come back, right? You know the best

56:46worst part? Maybe they should have had this game last weekend. It's even weirder because they're the LAT like the Rams are the LAT. So it's probably a really short flight to get to Australia. It's not. They go the other way. No, no, you always go that. Even if you flying from New York, you fly to LA first and then go to Australia. But my point is from LA, it's a short flight, but then you, they still lose like almost a day. You know how jarring that probably is when it's probably a five or six hour flight from LA to Australia and you'll leave on Thursday. No, it's not. No, it's not. It's like 17 hours. It's a, how the fuck is it? 17 hours? Is that a goal? So nonstop from LAX to Melbourne is 15 is 16 hours. Really? Yeah, it's even worse than I should. My ex will lived in Australia for like a semester. So I knew that I knew the time difference. I remember it like it's even worse than you lose two days just to travel

57:48there. That's what I'm saying. It doesn't make any sense. Like they're playing Thursday and they have to come back and play the next like here's my thing. Look at week two. We're looking at Rams and chiefs, right? Okay, Rams, chiefs, Rams, the Rams will lose just because they're jet lagged. Okay, so the chiefs play Sunday night and the Rams play Monday night week two both at home. Which you think you would have given the chiefs the extra day, but it's still, it's what is LA to KC is like maybe four less than four hours. So it's probably, but that's insane. The global expansion thing is nice, but that time zone suck and that's a stupid place to have a football game. Well, it is what it is and that's what's happening. They should just do a preseason game over there. Like if you want to do all this global shit, give them, give them games that don't matter. Like or do like all of preseason on Australia. No, they don't want to, they don't want to, they don't

58:53want to have to send that many extra people that far though. You think about it? More people are traveling on a preseason team as opposed to the regular season team. Depending on the week, but yes, I know what you're saying. Well, regardless, the game's happening and if you're in the states, it'll be on Netflix at 835 Eastern. Rams technically are the home team. They're favored by three and a half. Honestly, I don't know who to pick here. I don't know who the 49ers are going to be this year. I really don't. They have the potential to be the old 49ers, but who knows? I already heard. I thought they have like 26 people on the public. No, don't they have the most injured team currently in the NFL? Do they? I mean, they look pretty okay to me. Yeah, there's a lot of guys. Okay, well, we'll see. I got the ramps. I got the ramps.

59:54I got the ramps. Yeah, yeah, this isn't stopping. I'm just saying like overall, the 49ers, if they could be healthy, they could be really good again. The problem is me too. Poor, really tough games. They're scheduled as well. So what are you going to do? The only thing benefiting the 49ers is the fact that it's in F***ing Australia. So it's just a weird area. It's time zones. It's jet lag. It's difference. Who the f*** knows? They're both going to experience the same amount of jet lag. Because they're both coming from California. So that's, I guess, nice. Is that nobody had a longer flight than the other one, really? So sure. But I don't know. The ramp should still win this on paper. But any international game is weird because sometimes like the Brazil game you brought up was perfect. Because wasn't that like a f***ing mud bowl? Wasn't the pitch just like complete garbage?

1:00:55Or was that like one of the Mexico games that was just like complete shit? I forget if it was the Mexico game or if it was the Brazil game that was like a giant mess. Why did I bring up the chiefs? I thought the chiefs were played in this game. I f***ed that up. I thought you were bringing up like, maybe they play each other on week two. No, no. I totally messed that up. I thought the chiefs played. I for some reason I had to do my head. I'm like thinking back, why did they care about the difference? So yeah, they're both in the same... Yeah, the Niners are at home week. But yeah, it's just unknown area time zone differences. And who knows what the f*** that pitch is going to be like? Because even if it's a soccer, it makes it a lot totally different. No, I'm sure. You say that. But like I said, there was that, what was it? The Mexico game or the Brazil game where it was just a mess? What's that your team? Wasn't it the Eagles and the Packers? We're just turning into a f*** show. How about they had the volleyball match at Riggly this past weekend outdoors?

1:01:55And they didn't realize that it was going to be humid in Chicago at night at the end of August. And they had to cancel the game because there's like a slip-and-slide. Yeah, people don't know how weather works at this point in time. I don't know. We both got the Rams, I take it. Yeah, unfortunately. Like, but who knows? It's an international game. All right, let's get into the regular Sunday games. As Andrew and I like to call it our favorites. Yeah. Like, like, normal games? Yeah, if the games not at noon or if for central, okay, one or four on Sunday, I'd like f***ing it. Like if the Packers don't play at one or four, I'm like, what a b***er. Same. Let's start it. B***er's Bengals Cincinnati hosting the B***er's Cincinnati favored by three and a half. I like Cincinnati here. I don't think I'm going to lock this one in, but I do like Cincinnati. Yeah, I'm not lucky at any of there, and I agree. I like Cincinnati. Because I don't like where the b***er right now. If they even press me, if they prove me wrong,

1:03:00good. I want to be proven wrong about this one. Well, I mean, Cincinnati went out and showed up their defense to the fact that they should be able to help stop the run, a hell of a lot better than they did. And with the offense that they have, that means they're in any game. If you can stop the run, you're in any game. I agree. They just need an offensive line that makes sure Bro stops dying every like three games. Get the ball out quick, son. The Bills had to Houston to take on the Texans. I'm going to go ahead and lock this one in. I'm going to take the Bills giving one on the road as my first lock of the week. Only giving one. That's a pretty good buck. Because that means it's basically a toss-up. So if the Bills just wait and they win, probably. Because it's not going to be 21-20 most likely. Yeah, either push. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right. If they win by one, I push or I lose, you know, so whatever. Yeah, and with the way CJ Shryow looked at the end of his season last year, he needs to prove he knows how to play fucking football.

1:04:02Average, Lee. Not just not even at the right, he was at two years ago. To just like not like a fucking moron. So do that and the team might win. Like the whole thing because that defense is good. Shryow just wasn't. No, think about that. And I, and I, um, the Marco Ryan is great coach. You and better defensive coach that defense. Demiko? Demiko, Ryan. God damn it. And that defense is so tough that they had such a great draft that year. They got shroud and Will Anderson and made the moves they made and instantly got better. So we'll see. We'll see what happens. But I like the Bills to start that off right there. Ravens at Colts in Indianapolis. Can we get the Colts at home and an upset Colts are plus three and a half at home. Not locking it in. Wait, they're getting points at home? Yeah, are you going to start off by locking that down? I think I'm going to lock the Colts in then. Yeah. Colts are getting three against the Ravens team that still has to work out with a new new coach, new defensive skiedons to a degree,

1:05:05a new new vibes and everything. And the Ravens didn't look great last year. Even when Lamar was healthy. So yeah, yeah, give me the Colts because if Danny Dimes comes back even an 80% of what he was last year, that Colts team could be scary. Yeah, if they can keep him healthy, have Jonathan Taylor, even just have 90% of the area had last year, right? Josh Donz, Alex Pierce, Tyler Warren, they got they got help in the secondary. They got sauce back in there again. So yeah, the Colts. The Colts are my like sleeper team, I think. I think they're super talented. Anytime you're a team in the middle of the country, you don't necessarily get that horrible kind of road hang over on certain weeks. You know, so true. Bears at Panthers, Panthers plus three at home, looks to be warm and possible rain. What do you think here?

1:06:09I I This is this is anybody's game. Both teams are pretty close. Should we pick one upset a week that doesn't count towards our locks record, but like see how many upsets you can pick? I like that. I wouldn't consider either of these an upset because it mean it just has to about you just have to pick a team that's not getting that favored, right? Okay, oh, that's what we're going to do with upset. So that means you have to like you can pick you can pick either way, but like you have to pick one, like you have your three locks and then on top of that you have to pick one underdog point spread. They all have to be different. We're just adding one thing on. What do you think? I think it's brain. I can see the smoke coming out of this here. I don't hate it, but I would want it to be a real underdog team. I wouldn't want it to be like if you have the Raiders beating the Broncos that week.

1:07:10Okay, so I don't want it to just be like, oh, well, the Broncos and the Chiefs are taking two. So add the Chiefs to the underdog. I'm gonna pick them. That doesn't count. So how do I make it so then? Okay, so then it doesn't have to be more than how many how many point underdog does it have to be? I would have to say would have to be like, instead of underdog, let's just make a hot take because like it has to be one of those teams that you're like this team sucks, but I think this is their week. Like I don't just want you to pick this point spread underdog because we're you pick against the spread all the time. That year you went like fucking what was it like 45 and two or whatever. Fuck it was you picked a bunch of shit against the spread. Yeah, let's let's just say we'll just we'll just we'll we'll keep them format the same. All's all say it. We'll figure it out if we play into something. All's all say it. But it's if I had to lock it in fourth lock, how's that? I'll just be leaving it that I think I'm gonna go out and tell Bears fans that they're gonna lose week one of the Panthers. I mean, I think that's really possible too.

1:08:14I think the Bears are the better teams slightly, but they're close. So like this is this is six and one half dozen of the other. All right, the Saints had north to take on the Lions. Lions favored by a touchdown at home. I mean, I think the easy lock. I'm not locking in the Lions here. I got a couple other locks that I that I like that we have coming up. So, but I I think this is a pretty good bet here. Yeah, yeah, it's sevens a little hefty and even if I'm high on the Saints, I still think the Lions are a better team. So they'll cover seven. What do we got? So we got three more noon games or one o'clock eastern games. Sorry, Browns at Jaguars. It's gonna be a warm day in Florida. We already mentioned that. Eight and a half point favorite are the Jaguars. You know what? Fuck it. I'll put my money where my power rings is. The lock in the Jaguars. Give me the Jaguars for the lock. Yeah.

1:09:14Oh, wow. I'm not locking anything in, but give me the browns and the points if I had to. Jags minus eight and a half. Wow. Lay in the lower. That's it. That's huge, but that's huge. One of our former associates would say is downright disrespectful. That is true. And it is really well, it's the Browns. So it's not that that's true. Maybe not. Yeah, you might have put the same thing. Atlanta heading north to take on Pittsburgh. Steelers three and a half point favorites at home. I don't, I don't, I don't sure the Steelers win, I guess. I wouldn't touch the game with a ten-steelers pole. Atlanta's a dumpster fire. And then I don't usually bowl season doesn't start until like December, but the toilet bowl was being played week one as the Jets had to Tennessee to take on the Titans.

1:10:15The Titans are one and a, the Titans are one and a half. It's gonna happen three times. Bet on this game. If you're game. It's gonna happen three times because the Jets and the dolphins play twice. Well, that's insane. Well, I'm sure they play other games as well. But you get what I'm getting. And generally speaking, I, uh, I like the Titans at home here. But I had to pick. So do I. So do I. I think Kim Ward's actually trying to build towards something like I like his, I liked his answers to press conferences. I like the way he's holding himself. They did start to gel a little bit better at the end of last year. They're still very far from being good. But I think it's, it hasn't killed his confidence. He's not, he's not David fucking car. You know what I mean? Oh goodness, that guy got sacked more than a potato. Yeah, David Gargott murdered and that killed his ability to play the game. Because we saw when he was a backup in New York and when he had the little bit of time in Carolina, he's not a bad quarterback when he actually has time to stand up and throw the ball.

1:11:16Sure. Go figure. You need a vertical quarterback. Yeah, well, explain that to, yeah, two guys we already talked about or one we're gonna talk about again. No, no, two guys we already talked about. Sam, Darnell and Daniel Jones, look at the difference. They actually got to teams that had, you know, uh, uh, also lines, plausible lines with potent offensive weapons, right? I mean, come on. Let's get into the afternoon games. We got four Sunday afternoon games, but I think it's perfect. Agreed. And they're, and they're on two on CBS and two on Fox, which is awesome. So you should at least be able to watch two of them. Uh, my second lock, let's lock in the Eagles at home against the commanders. I don't see the commanders getting much better this year. I think Dan Quinn is on the hottest of hot seats and may not finish the season. Minus five. I don't think Quinn is on that much of a hot seat because he inherited a very old team and injuries killed the momentum last

1:12:18year. Like, Jaden was a little dinged up. Everybody else started to fall left and right. Like, if Quinn loses his job, I think that's more just because ownership wants to rebrand and rebuild because Jaden's still young, but I don't really think it's Quinn's fault. So I wouldn't call that a hot seat. I call that more like just a franchise in this array. Well, because here's my thinking on it though is Jaden Daniels is not going to get with the roster that they have is not going to get back to where he was when they went to the NFC championship game. And so the the management's going to look at it. His even core is still decent. Scott's scary Terry. A couple of the pieces. I know, but the running back, the running game isn't phenomenal. The line's even worse. The defense is okay. Dan Quinn's a defensive guy. So I think they're going to want to start over with Jaden Daniels because he's not going to progress back to where he was with somebody different offensively. So that's just my opinion. That's just my opinion on their season. Eagles come ready

1:13:18to play. I think this one's over pretty quick because the commanders can't stop the run. I mean, I don't disagree that the Eagles are probably going to win. I don't think it's going to be as pretty as you're kind of making it seem like slam dunk because I think the Eagles are still going to have issues because Hertz is going to be coming out of center a lot more. So he's learning a whole new offense and have to move in a whole new way. So there's going to be a lot of growing pains. So it might be close. I like the Eagles still, but that could be a, you know, surprising game. The Tanners? No, that's that's full house. What were the growing pains family? What the fuck were the growing pains family? See see, see verse. See verse. Yes. See verse or see verse. See verse. See verse. See verse. All right. Like Tom, see ver. All right. There we go. I got there we go. Tune into bandwagon nerds every Sunday afternoon on at Cherish up media YouTube.

1:14:21And what are growing pains trivia? Oh, but just for all overall nerdy kind of culture pop culture. Did you just figure out your next trivia game? You're going to just do growing pain stuff now. Oh, I do. I do. I got to get back to trivia. Yeah. I need Greg to send me the, yeah, all right. This is something that doesn't need to be on this show. trivia will be back soon enough. Regularly don't worry about it. I felt like a good enough segue because you brought up something random. There is the latest trivia though is on fantasy football, which is a pretty good cool trivia. It's some interesting stuff. Some some history on it. trivia questions and then some like greatest of all time outputs. So I thought it was one of one of the cool ones. I think they're all cool. I'll go back and check it out. trivia x. Yeah. Multiple choice. Interactive. X can give it to you. Yeah. What? There it is. Dolphins Raiders. Raiders minus three. Give me the Raiders all day. I almost want to lock this in. But I'm not going to lock it. Are you going

1:15:25to do it? You're going to do it. All right. That's your third one. Huh? Yes. Captain Kirk gets the boys off to a good one because the dolphins are fucking garbage. You're only going to get many wins after that. Probably not. But I like start off good. Hard to say. Hard to say. Because Kirk didn't look bad at the end of last season when he came in for Panics. Like this first season Atlanta was rough because he was just coming off the Achilles and he wasn't really mobile and wasn't able to plant and do half what he could do. But he didn't look bad coming back in for like relief if you want to go with that. So if the Raiders had a better team around him that could be a more competitive team than we're thinking. So put him against some bad teams that they could get some easy wins. It's quite possible. Chargers hosting the Cardinals. Chargers lay in nine and a half points. What do you think? I think that's too many points. Like I don't think the Cardinals are good.

1:16:28But we did just talk about Berset being able to light up the sky and put up numbers just that numbers didn't turn into wins. And the Chargers aren't really offensive line. Isn't really known to be wonderful. Their defense is opportunistic at best if we want to use nice words. So I think nine and a half is too much of a point. So I would take the Cardinals with the points. It's official. Let's lock it in. Give me the Chargers minus nine and a half. This revamped offense Mike McDaniel added to the staff. Josh Herbert going to have his best season ever as a pro. Omarion Hampton, Lad McConkey back with Quentin Johnson, Ketchon footballs, Oranda Gadson. They brought in David and Jocque on the offensive side. That defense looks healthy. Let's go. Super Chargers. You know, are you drinking Miller light like usual? Or is that cool? And I just missed it because it feels like you're drinking some fucking cool.

1:17:31I'm just saying I'm on the Chargers this year right now. Is it cool? Later is it Miller? What are we talking about here? If you've got the time we got the beer Miller just check it. Just check it because that was that was that wasn't Ben Wagon nerds. That was Ben Wagon Chargers right there. Like you is cool it man gonna crash tree you're fucking wall next like where the fuck like I have woof woof woof woof. Oh yeah. Oh no. Oh no. Are you have fun with that one? Oh yeah that's that's what I picked. All right the last afternoon game. Do you know what it is? Football. It is. It's the green bass Packers. I mean to Minnesota to take on the Vikings. I was almost gonna lock this in but you were so fervent against the Chargers. I'm like fuck that. I'm locking in the Chargers. One of us is gonna be really right or one of us is gonna be really wrong.

1:18:34That's gonna make great content next week. So fuck it. And this is exactly what we said earlier that somebody on the show is always very right. We don't know which one it is but it's someone. Thank you everybody. Thank you very much. Yeah the Packers there's no reason they shouldn't go to Minnesota and take care of this football team new quarterback of the helm. The Vikings I think are just gonna end up being the last place team in a really tough division and they're not a horrible team either but I think Justin Jefferson bounces back and has a good year. I think Kyler Murray does better than you think but I just don't know how good this defense is. That's the biggest question Mark I have to. Like I know earlier I said that I feel like the Vikings could finish higher than the Bears but they both have the same issue and it's the defense. Like which defense is gonna show up because honestly I think I like the Vikings offense a little

1:19:37more than I like the Bears offense just personally it's the personal take. They're close but I like what the Vikings do and I also I mean it's hard to argue because I think we got a tackle problem over in Chicago as well now too one of their tackles. Now we do yes but so I like the coach I like my O'Connell you know he's done so much more with so much less and the fact that they're being underrated or under-expected whatever you want to call it like I think that's good that's the kind of the Bullets and Board material they need to make a push. I don't think they're good enough to like make any real real noise but maybe not be the bottom of the division maybe fight for that wild card we'll see but I still think Packers are winning this game like it's not like lose the plot but I think the Vikings have a better season than initially being let on to be. There's a lot of interesting talk on Wisconsin radio not just sports radio of Sunday morning

1:20:42if the Packers do not beat the Vikings this weekend I'll tell you that. Interesting how Lake Fire LaFua- LaFua? No no I think I think people are aware that you can win all the games you want until January but you got to win games then afterwards as well. Now last year's tough like Watson and Parsons go down same game I think it was and they don't win another game afterwards. They were what 9-3-1 they were the number one seed in the NFC and then all that happened so it's gonna be interesting. Is LaFua getting comparisons to Shuttonheimer over there? And I don't mean Brian you know what Shuttonheimer I mean. No we've won play I mean we went to the NFC champ but I championed with we should have beat we should have beat you guys and then FC Chattonheimer won play off games too just not when they met her.

1:21:44I don't think he ever went to the NFC AFC or NFC maybe went to aFC championship with the Charter? I think he did. No I thought they were 15 and 1 and they lost like their first game but the Packers did that too with Mike McCartes. Trust me man I've been through it all. So I don't know the Packers I think optimally the best they could do this year would be to win 12 or 13 games when the division and get on a roll in the playoffs that's what I can say from them unless offensively they just like turn it off but the problem there is like you mentioned before you already have turmoil in the backfield so. So for the fact people out there Shuttonheimer reached the conference championship game three times. 86 Cleveland Browns, all of the Broncos with the drive. 87 Cleveland Browns also lost to the Broncos and then 93 Chiefs lost to the Bills. Oh that's Montana. Yep.

1:22:49Yeah okay Joe Montenia I love that guy. Yeah I'm thinking like later on years chargers and watching no he got bounced earlier but the point is he at least made the conference championship three times. I remember the Browns ones I forgot that he was the coach when Montana was in Kansas City so yeah cool. Good deal. All right well let's move to Sunday night. Cowboys at giants give me the Cowboys laying three points in New York. I was almost going to lock that one in as well. I just think the Cowboys are going to be a really good football team this year which is kind of annoying for someone who watches a lot of NFL programming during the week so. I know trust me I know especially given where I live it's around a lot of Eagles and Giants fans so I also think the Cowboys are going to be good. I don't think the Giants are going to be bad but I think the Cowboys are going to be better so. No I like the Giants too I really do. It's one of my favorite teams in Madden to play with you know you got neighbors you got Theo Johnson, Darts, Scataboo.

1:23:55Yeah fucking Scataboo or whatever. Dude he's a walking CTE experiment like holy crap. I wonder how long he can keep that up. Yeah he's definitely a young man. I hope it's not I'll be PC about it. Yeah I hope it's not just like a Peyton Hillist thing where it's like one year of being a wrecking ball and then his fucking career falls off a cliff. I had him that year in fantasy football was it glorious. Oh I thought he was going to do such great things on the Chiefs when they picked him up after that and then like I had him I had him on my team like every year after that just to have him because he like I remember he was so same with like Cam Newton I had Cam Newton the year he won the MVP and like sometimes you have a guy that has like one of the greatest fantasy years ever and then you just end up taking him for the rest of his career for the week. I drafted Barry Sanders like the next three years after he retired thinking he'd come back.

1:24:57Now I'm just kind of doing fantasy football stand-up comedy so go ahead and jump back in we're never you're ready. Oh sure. Kareem Hunt was my guy that I kind of rolled with a lot of time. Ah Kareem Hunt was great until he got in trouble and then Casey got rid of him and then he was horrible fantasy wise. And till he was good again in Cleveland. He was like oh not the compared he was one of the top five fantasy running backs in Kansas City and then in that he was. I didn't say he was at that level again but he was still good in Cleveland. That's like Josh Gordon too you go through all that shit with Josh Gordon. Oh fuck he's such a what if yeah yeah big time big time you would have been great. Do you have the calm ways you said? Yeah yeah yeah. Alright last game of the week the chiefs finally I can't believe I fucked that up earlier with the Thursday that game but now at least we know how long it takes to fly from Australia to or Melbourne to LA. Too fucking long. Jesus Christ. Broncos take on the dude. I mean I'd be more willing to travel

1:25:59if we could like star track teleport people like you just walk through a door and you're there you know. Like the fact that it takes the time difference to travel from LA to fucking Australia basically and like that's insane to think that you lose like a day and a half just to on a plan like that's fucking stupid. Yeah because you're going yeah you're going yeah you're going forward in time so like where we're going we don't need roads. When this thing hits 88 miles an hour you're gonna see some serious shit. Broncos at chiefs big huge Monday night football opener for ABC and ESPN. Are you a fan of the manning cast or no? I am I do like it. I am too especially if I know like I mean usually I'm not making it past the first half for Monday night football because yeah even maybe even not even closer to that now I'm up here even earlier but especially if I know there's a guest that

1:27:00they have on that I like football guest or a pop culture guest but I tend to catch their stuff afterwards when it's clipped because I don't I don't love watching it all the time because sometimes I don't want the extra commentary. Well if if they still appreciate what they do as a gimmick. Yeah I mean if the Packers are playing I'm not watching that but if it's just two random teams that I don't care I'm watching that instead of the regular one you know what I mean so I get some entertainment value on top of my entertainment value. I agree with that. Good match up. You you were much softer on the Chiefs and I was so far in the initial assessment of the year so like I think you're gonna take the Broncos because of that soft assessment. I am and I don't I don't disagree with you. I have a wait and see kind of thing because even when patch before patch moholms got hurt the offense did not look good. I understand their defense like it's loss in the sauce and it's it's not underrated but it's just under under announced under talked about less talked about

1:28:05than it should be but it's not underrated not by the people that are on the field with it especially considering that coaching staff but I just that offense man I just don't know I gotta see it to believe it and if Bonix is 100% healthy that's a really good Broncos team. Oh I agree because for I guess clarity even though I had the Chiefs winning the division by the end of the year when we're going over our playoff people I have the Broncos with the same record but it's just like the tie breakers want the way of the Chiefs. So do I think the Broncos are winning this first one? Yes does that mean I think their second match up the Chiefs are winning and then there's like division oceanant against it kind of edge out the Chiefs when it comes to playoff seating that's that's how I see it but I don't think the Broncos are much worse than the Chiefs especially because I have the Broncos and the Super Bowl and not the Chiefs if you get what I'm saying. Yeah I can see that happening I mean I as much as I love the bills I love the Broncos too

1:29:07so we'll see what happens it should be a good year should be a fun year we'll be here every week for you we'll have some guests along the way we might force Andrew to take a look at our Cherishot fantasy football league to analyze it and cast judgment I know he doesn't love playing fantasy football but he loves the cast judgment so maybe we can get him in and onto that kind of aspect yeah buddy any last thoughts before we get the hell out of here Buckeneers proved me wrong that's all I'm asking like I think you're going to suck I don't want to be right okay fair enough fair enough I think it's going to be another good NFL season I can't think of any super underlying storylines that are that are polarizing I mean obviously Aaron Donald coming back is really big are there anybody big coming back from injury that we haven't thought about that that could be like a comeback player of the year I'm trying to think I don't really know

1:30:09I mean there's just a lot of interesting things happening here up we'll see who's the team that disappoints us who's the team that surprises us and all those great NFL things along the way so enjoy football any dimes could end up being come back player of the year that'd be crazy like he could be MVP candidate if that team is as goes we think it is and he doesn't throw any interceptions but you you know what I mean like he's he lived a bad time oh I agree they were rolling last year when he they were what eight and one before he got hurt they were great so we'll see what happens all right let everybody know where they can find you and everything else you got going on yeah I know you I know you cover a couple other things two people might be interested oh yeah sure so on the Twitter I WC board chief and then let's see I also cover TNA Juggalo championship wrestling and MLW on the chair shot and I also do the the TNA rewind podcast with Matt at a on durchy radio so

1:31:12a little bit of a plug for that one you know it's fun enjoy it if you like TNA just have fun with it because we talk about bullshit it's a lot like this like we bullshit more than we talk about the product because sometimes TNA's product not great but bullshit it's fun this thing for wrestling history as well oh that too that too but that's just history I can only make that so so fancy it's not like I'm making up the now if I could make up the history if it's just made up history today that'd be something that'd be like fake news kind of topic right there oh hashtag journalism speaking of that head over to pro rest at d's dot com forward slash the chair shot you can get that t-shirt hashtag journalism plenty a great t-shirt designs makes a great gift anytime of the year you're watching right now on at chair shot media that's a great handle to pick up wherever on socials and you'll know everything that's happening over at the chair shot dot com where we encourage you to always use your head my name is pc toney that's where you can follow me at pc
