NFL Predictions and Picks For EVERY Week 7 Game [Steelers at Bengals] | Best Bets ✅
third of the way through the season. Here we go to week seven, picking every game against the spread. Two teams on buys, the Bills and Ravens. We got another London game, Rams, Jags. We got another Monday Night Football double header, including Bucks and Lions. Weren’t the Bills on a buy uh Monday night? Sure seemed like it. Oh no, Pete, your your winning week streak just ended. Seven and N. Here comes Kyle now over 500 for the season. And I hit my best bet. I hit my best bet though. These are tough to come by, by the way. Best bet wins this year. You know, I was going in last night. I was sitting pretty and I lost both games last night. Both games. What happens when you turn the football over? Yeah. The worm always turns, Pete. Yep. Chris Hassel with Kyle Long and Pete Prrisco. Going to pick every game against the spread beginning Thursday night with the Steelers and the Bengals. We’ll call it the mothball bowl. got that from you from earlier on HQ. Couple of old men, Aaron Rogers and Joe Flacco. They ain’t old to me. Well, no, not to you. I’m going to go with the Pittsburgh Steelers here. And I think that the way that they have played football offensively has been a smart conservative way to do it. And obviously, you can get the most out of Aaron Rogers when the time comes. Two-minute end of half, end of game situations. But what they have going on with their tight ends and at the line of scrimmage is very real. Give me the Steelers in this one. I love the way Rogers is playing. I really do. and and and there were a lot of people who doubted whether he could get to that again. I I wasn’t one of them because what he did at the end of last season was really impressive for the Jets. And so he’s playing at a high level. The offensive line, which has a bunch of young guys starting to come together defensively, there’s some age on that defense, but they’re playing better. You know, Phil and Gabriel didn’t really threaten them last week. They’ll be threatened more this week by the passing game with Joe Flacco. But I’m going to take the Steelers here as well. I think they’re going to put up a nice off. This is going to get a little loose. Not crazy loose, but a little loose. I think I think Aaron Rogers will have a big day throwing the football. Little loose. Not not big time loose. Lower. What do you think of uh Mike Tomlin uh coming out and saying he can’t believe that the Browns would trade Joe Flacco to the Bengals? Well, you might as well worry about your own business, right? Isn’t that the old adage? If if you were a head coach, if you ask him that question without, you know, unsolicited, he would say, “We’ll worry about your we’ll worry about our own.” Well, here he is worrying about somebody else’s, which I don’t. You think he’s scared? You think he’s No. Upset that he has to face Joe Flacco as a member of the Bengals. No, I think it’s I there there has to be a method to his madness because he’s too good a football coach. So, I’m not sure what he knows what he’s doing. Yeah. Yeah. I don’t I don’t I don’t think I don’t think Joe Flacco playing is really bothering him that much. He’s trying to get under their There wasn’t much of a difference with the Bengals, but Joe Flack better. He threw the ball a little bit down the field. Yeah, they still got smoked. Um anytime you get Jake Browning off the field, that’s a good thing. both on the Steelers, but Pete also likes the lowercase loose over. Yeah. All right, it is time for our same game parlay. This is something that we don’t do every week, but it’s our same game parlay for Thursday Night Football, courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook. We’re all going to give a play in this game. We’ll add them up, we’ll parlay it, and we’re going to get you something close to 10 to one here. Pete, give us your play in this one. Rogers over 210 passing yards. I I think he’s going to go for about 265 in this game. 270 and three touchdowns. I think he’s going to play very well. Uh so I got him over 210 passing yards. What do we go back there? I was talking to producer Jack. I believe it’s receptions. Chase Brown. I’m looking for 15 plus receiving yards. So I know that this guy Chase Brown’s going to get the football a lot. They’re going to be bearing down on old Joe. And I think Chase Brown gets the football. Hope he remembers his playbook better than you remember. Well, I I’m actually I This is about the 48th prop I’ve done this week. I’m going to take uh I copied your work, Pete. I saw you had a couple of plays here and I’m going to take one of them at DK Metaf anytime touchdown. You can get plus money on that plus 125. You like that? Yeah, I like that. By the way, I didn’t understand the exercise. I thought we each had to give our own parlay. So, I gave two picks. So, you just happen to take one of mine. Oh, yeah. Cuz you can only give one. So, I just a team effort. So, team effort. If one of those loses, it’s your fault. It’s not mine. No. If the parlay wins, then I got two and three. You have nothing. You didn’t hang on because we’ve got the producer leg to put on here as well. T. Higgins 40 plus receiving yards at minus 156. Do you like Higgins to go over 40? I think this game’s going to get a little passy. You did say lower case loose. Lower case loose, which is fun. Yeah. And so what’s the odds on this? Plus 850 if you parlay them all together. And that DK medap, that’s the only one that’s plus money. Yeah, that’s why I like that one. Well, why didn’t you pick it? You picked the other one. I wish we No, I sent in two and Jack gave me that one and you got the other one. I wish there was a prop where we could pick over under on Darnell Washington’s weight for the day. 320. Set the line at 305. 320. DraftKings Sportsbook, the best place to bet touchdowns this season. New customers can bet $5 and get 300 bucks in bonus bets if your bet wins.

How many times have Jacksonville heard that over the years? Goodness gracious. Uh they will play the Rams and we’ll pick it next. Oh, this week across the pond, it’s Matthew Stafford and the Rams, Trevor Lawrence and the Jags. Wimbley Stadium in London. And the the Jags know this trip all too well. Pete, do you know how many times they played an international game? I don’t know the numbers. 17. 20. Not quite that many. This is the 14th. The 14th time. No other team has even played 10. 14th time Jacksonville is They’ve played twice at times over the years. Yeah. Well, they should feel at home, but uh they are underdogs against the Rams who are laying three against Jacksonville. Yeah. And this one’s not surprising when you look at what happened last week to Jacksonville. They were beat up on the offensive line. Their offensive line had played really well. They’d only given up six sacks going into last week and Seattle got seven. They didn’t handle it. The left tackle was a disaster. Walker Little was terrible. Ezra Cleveland who played very well at left guard was a disaster. The right side won much better. In fact, the best player was the rookie center who was filling in John Manheim from USC. I think they’ll be better this week blocking up front. I And I’m worried about the Rams not having Nua. That’s big for them. It takes it changes their offense. They don’t stretch the field as it is. You need him to move the change. And I think Jacksonville play much better on both lines than they did a week ago. I’ll take Jacksonville. I’m going to go with the coach with a proven track record over Liam Cohen. And I like Liam Cohen, but I’m going to go with the Rams here. And I think it’s going to be a defensive statement game. Coach and student because remember he worked for them. It’s going to be the statement game for the defense for the Rams to have to travel out there um to Europe and go play this football team. And obviously the Jags have a really good football team and you know last week’s game leaves a lot to be desired for the offensive line, but it doesn’t get any easier against the Rams. I know the Seahawks defensive unit is great, but that front for the Rams is for real. Give me Los Angeles, even without Puka Nua. Shawn McVey is an incredible coach. First time all season last week, Pete, the Jags didn’t force a turnover and they lead the NFL in forcing turnovers. Are you worried that that could become a trend? Well, they actually play pretty good defense, by the way. They gave up two big plays. One is Smith. Yeah. And I mean, they actually play pretty good defense. So, I’m I’m That was more encouraging the fact that they didn’t get any turnovers cuz sometimes turnovers can mask your inefficiencies on defense. Look at those takeaways. They were last in the NFL last season with nine takeways, 14 already this season, but zero last week. That is your London game. 9:30 a.m. Eastern time on Sunday. NFL Today plus you guys in studio again this week. Yeah, with the crew. Hey, look. They didn’t cut your head off this time. That’s good. Way to go, guys. He made it. Graphics. Yeah. Week seven. Now we can see the top of his bald head. 10 a.m. Eastern time. Sunday. Two hours leading into the NFL today. You can find it on HQ and Paramount Plus. All right, we’re going to move to the Sunday early afternoon slate. The Chiefs lay in the largest number of the weekend coming off that big win against the Lions. All right, we’re looking at the early slate on Sunday on Sh. By the way, you know, you always talk about comments. Yeah, I saw some comments about that. They don’t like it. Don’t like it. Yeah. Really? I I’ve seen the opposite. Write us a letter. Of course. Of course Kyle sent that in. The only comment I saw was your left eye blinks. Uh let’s pick them all. Beginning with that Raiders Chiefs game. That is the only spread this week that is more than a one score spread. It’s the only spread that’s double digits. It’s 11 and a half in rivalry game. Might not be enough. H cuz this Chiefs team is coming, buddy. Okay. No, they’re not coming. They’re fast. The wheel the wheels fell off the wagon for a little bit relative to what we’ve seen from the Chiefs. But my oh my, here comes Rashi Rice. They are back. And Rasheed Rice back in the lineup is much bigger than people are are making it out to be because this guy was a true number one last year in the brief time that he was out there on the football field for Kansas City. I fully anticipate seeing them going downtown a lot. Obviously, you have the ability to stretch the defense with the number of skilled players you have back in that lineup, but it’s the game at the line of scrimmage for Patrick Mahomes in this Chiefs offense that’s so dangerous. You get the ball in the guy’s hands, five feet away from the line of scrimmage, you can make three guys miss, you’re hitting your head on the goalpost. Love the Chiefs. They’ve got some questions defensively they have to figure out, but that offense is rolling again. I’m with you. I look people called Mahomes a game manager. Lay called him a game manager last year and the reason he was a game manager was because he didn’t have speed and teams played him with a force field at 15 yards and you couldn’t go past that. And now what does he have? He has speed. Worthy has speed. Hollywood Brown can run and now you get Rice in there. And couple that with an improvement on the offensive line and you know Simmons didn’t play at left tackle last week. Moore was great. He was fantastic. And the interior of the offensive line, which had kind of got off to a slow start, they’re playing much better. You protect him, you have speed, he’s back to being Mahomes. And when he’s back to being Mahomes, he’s going to roll up big numbers. The Raiders are not great on defense other than Max Crosby. He’s fantastic, by the way, and plays every play like it’s his last play, which I give him a ton of credit for. And on the offensive side of the ball, the Raiders are very limited. Gino Smith’s not playing well. They are running the ball a little bit better with Genty, which is a good sign, but Gino Smith isn’t playing that well. I think that coupled with the fact that Mahomes is going to roll up a big number, I think this is a blowout. I’ll take the Chiefs. 10 interceptions already for Gino. That’s the most through six games for a quarterback in five years. You think Seattle knew something? Uh, I mean, looks pretty good with Sam Darnold there in Seattle right now. By the way, Mahomes has failed to cover in seven straight divisional games, but these guys think that that streak is going to come to an end by the Chiefs covering a big number against the Raiders. Uh on CBS at 1:00 as well, how about this? Mike Vrabel revenge going back to Tennessee the week they fire the guy that they brought in to replace him. Mike Vrabel has as many wins this season, four, as the Titans have since they fired him, four. Mike Vrael’s a good football coach. And did it get a little stale in Tennessee? Maybe. But what he does, he brings a toughness and a nastiness to a team. And I love that. I love And you know, he’s going in there with a chip on his shoulder. There’s no question about that. That’s who he is. But they are playing three straight road games. Oh, three straight, not two, three. They went to Buffalo, beat the Bills, went to New Orleans, didn’t exactly blow out a so- so New Orleans team, and now you’re out on the road again against a team that might get a little bit of a bump from a coach firing. The dead cat bounce. So, in that scenario, that’s real though. Yeah, it is real. In that scenario, I’m taking the Titans and the points. I don’t think they’re going to win the game, but you’re giving me that point, that number of points, I’m taking it. I think they hang around. I think they play better. It’s not going to be pretty, but they’ll find a way to stay in the game. I’ll take the points. Drake may prove to a lot of people uh against the Buffalo Bills that he is the quarterback of the future for the New England Patriots. He’s the quarterback of the now. He’s the quarterback of the now and the future. We’re on the same page, Pete. Right. We love them. But it’s games like this that solidify that, you know, in the down weeks. You’re playing against this Titans team. They just fired their coach. Everybody anticipates this being a butt whooping, but you got to go and play these guys because they’re getting paid regardless or, you know, they’re getting paid, too. And you talked about that bump that you can get from a backup coach. It’s the same thing with the backup quarterback. You know, guys are going to be on their P’s and Q’s. There are people playing this week for the Tennessee Titans that are trying to represent themselves well for the next season. They want to be part of this thing. Okay. Cam Ward isn’t always going to be on a bad team. Who’s going to be around with them? We’ll find out this week. That being said, I’ve got the Patriots. Give me What’s Mike Vrabel’s feet? What’s his pregame? Is it they did this to me or don’t make me part of this? I think he’s uh this is about us guy, you know, because uh you can’t replicate the things that they’re working on and trying to establish. He doesn’t even talk about it. I think it’s probably being talked about enough to where he doesn’t even have to mention it. The guys just know he’s got the right guys in that building. Yeah. Well, uh if they get to five and two, uh it’ll be their most wins in a season since the 22 season. It’s been that long. So, Bill. Yeah. Bill Hulu. Are they not going to build that statue after all? Well, I mean, certainly not as a general manager after what he left behind. All right, so you guys are on opposite sides of that one as you look at what Drake May has done this season. I’ll be giving you a phone call there on this one. Third quarterback ever with 70% completion percentage, 250 plus passing yards per game through six games of his first or second NFL season. That’s a mouthful, but the other two quarterbacks, Curt Warner and Joe Burrow, that’s all you need to know. All right, moving on to Dolphins and Browns. Um, Titans just fired their coach. I mean, if if the Dolphins lose this game and they’re not favored to win, it’s hard to imagine Mike McDaniel keeping his job much longer. This is the dog game of the week. Okay, these two teams are the down near the bottom, too. At the dog pound, dog game at dog pound and one team can play defense and one team just try doesn’t tackle, doesn’t do anything on defense. The Browns play really good defense and I think that shows up in this game. You look at the other side of the ball. My gosh, that defense just gets gashed in the run game every single week. They can’t stop anybody. They’re terrible. The holes are enormous. I think even with Dylan Gabriel throwing the ball 50 times last week, which was way too many. He’ll cut that down. No run the football. I’ll take Miami. I mean, I’ll take Cleveland in this game. And Mike McDaniel’s in trouble. Two and a half points. Take a look at the do Take a look at the Dolphins and the way they’ve lost football games. Chris is laughing at me. The way the Dolphins have You were drawing something the whole time. The way that No, I’m listening to him and I’m thinking it takes a lot of brain power to think when you come with me. It is a spaceship and uh it could be the Dolphins of the future. No, seriously. Two and a half points. I think the Dolphins keep this thing within one possession. Give me the Miami Dolphins. It’s just, you know, a lot of guys are going to have to play really well for this to happen, but I think they got the better quarterback for the Miami Dolphins right now and that matters at the end of the day. So, give me the Dolphins maybe not to win the game, but to cover two and a half points, Pete, it’s the old field goal game. Are you going to thread that needle, right? Yes, you have to. This would snap a streak of 13 straight games of the Browns being an underdog. So, it’s it’s been a long time, almost which tells you a lot about the Miami Dolphins. Everybody in America has had something to say to or about to a tongue of I love what what would you how would you feel about that? I would say this. It’s true. You are telling on yourself when you’re saying that players aren’t going to the the players only meeting. You are the quarterback. You have a C on your chest. You probably are the guy that organized the damn thing. Let’s make sure there’s a roll call at the beginning and people get there on time. I I just would have not said anything about it. But Tua has a point to prove this week. He’s got a lot riding on this football game. He also called, like I said earlier, he called out the entire team. He says he should have named names. Name names. If you’re going to call somebody out, if you go and do that, right? Name the names. Do it all the way. Right. Otherwise, it’s a blanket indictment of the entire roster. And it’s not fair to everybody. No. It’s been a really rough year for the Dolphins who are now what? Second to last, I think. Can we get McDaniel some pants? Some pants that go down past his ankles. Yeah. I mean, but that’s cool though. That’s all that matters. That’s all that matters. Cool shoes, cool pants, cool glasses. uh those three discipline early window on CBS this Sunday. Uh this is the uh early window. The late window is going to consist of a really interesting match up between the 5-1 Colts and 4-2 Chargers. Looking proving time. Proving time. Well, you’ll get the uh the Giants and Broncos. We still have to pick those games in just a few minutes. All right. Coming up, the other one:00 games, including the Eagles, looking to stop the bleeding and maybe do a little something on offense. Goodness. They’ve lost two straight games and they’ve been outscored big time the last five quarters. Sky is falling. Is it? Maybe. All right. Looking at some 1:00 early slate games on Sunday. You got the Eagles at the Vikings. The Jets trying to pick up their first win of the season against the Panthers. And how about your Chicago Bears going for another victory. You’re looking to get to four and two after a great feeling good Monday night comeback against the Don’t feel too good. That guy Rattler can play. He’s playing well. Look out. He’ll bite you. That was bad. Really bad. Really bad. All right, Chris Hassel with Kyle Long. Jeez. Eagles and Vikings. Uh JJ McCarthy is practicing for the Vikings this week, but they haven’t said anything about him coming back or being a starter. Wally Pip. No. But what are they doing with this? If he is healthy and he’s back starting again, they keep saying they want to see how his lower body is working through the mechanics because he had Why do you laugh at that? Because I don’t believe it. I don’t believe him. I either he is your quarterback or he’s not. So make a decision. What if he’s still a little bit hurt? If he’s back practice, if he’s back practicing, is he still hurt? If you’re practicing, you ain’t hurt. Okay. So what are they doing? What are they doing? Okay, you you decided he was going to be your quarterback. He gets hurt, he comes back. Shouldn’t he be the quarterback? Let’s not also forget they sent Sam Darnold packing because they thought he was going to be their quarterback. And now you’re going to settle on Carson Wentz and Daniel Jones, too. It makes no sense. Daniel Jones is in the building, right? It makes no sense. So, if he’s back healthy, he should be the starting quarterback. They have to find out what he is. They have to let him play through all of his stuff, whatever it is, because he’s their starting quarterback of the future. Carson Wentz isn’t your future. So, find out if if he is indeed that. Now, does Carson Wentz give him a better chance to win right now? He I don’t know about that. Probably. Yeah. I mean, he does. Carson Wentz isn’t good either, though. They’re stuck between a rock and a hard place right now at the quarterback. You think they want Sam Darnold back, dude? Unbelievable. And you know what? This is probably the hardest game of the week for me to pick. It’s a tough game to pick because I don’t know who the hell the Eagles are anymore. And that was a team that I used to be able to set my watch to. I mean, the way they run the football, the way they get after quarterbacks at the line of scrimmage, they haven’t been able to run the football. Jaylen Herz looks like a deer in the headlights. The offensive coordinator, Patulo, seems to be disjointed with the way he sees the game versus the way his stars see the game. Um, and it starts with the offensive line and you know, yeah, you still got Milada and Lane Johnson out there on the field, but you take away the guards and now the strength of that football team, which was the double teams of the run game, that goes away. I mean, you don’t have a million reps with the guy you’re taking up for the guards. Again, Ari, the guards are the most important ones out there, dude. I love because where do the quarterbacks have to sit? Right there behind that frigin fence that you build with the guards and the centers. Tackles, they run guys by, okay? And if you’re if you’re worth your salt, you can run them by. You got to play behind the guards. They don’t have that run or pass right now, but I’m still picking the Eagles. Okay? I’m still picking the Eagles because in my opinion, Saon Barkley’s still on the field, right? Last time I checked, AJ Brown not giving him the ball enough. But they will they will give him the ball and and I think they win this game. By the way, Milan is not playing as well as he normally does either. So that comp compounds the problems of not having the guards, the guard defender. Well, I love the guard defender, but I’m a guard defender, too, so I can’t say you have to be. I love guards. Love guards. Uh, by the way, the Eagles at some point will turn and hand it off to Barkley 25 times and say, “This is how we are going to win football games.” What are they waiting for? And this is the week. Okay, this is the week. Give him the damn ball. Jaylen Herz, without Barkley running the football, can’t win games on his own. He just can’t. He’s not going to. That’s not who he is in that offense. When he can run and move and throw off the run, then he can win games. They have to be able to run the ball. This is the week. I’ll take the Eagles as well. It’s a staggering drop off for Saquon Barkley. He’s he’s averaging 71 fewer yards per game than last season. That would be the largest decrease in NFL history. Well, he did have a lot of he did have a lot of carries on his on his body last year, too. Yeah, I mean, we’ve we’ve seen it with Derrick Henry. Starting to Well, he had he had a good game last week there. All right, let’s go to uh Panthers and Jets. And the Panthers are favored. How about this? It’s the first time they’re a road favorite since Matt Rule was the head coach back in 2022. Wow, that rule. Wow, that’s a long time. That’s a long time ago. And uh I’m surprised they’re favorite in this game to be honest with you. Look, I don’t think the Jets are very good, but and Carolina’s done a lot of really good things running the ball. Their offensive line is physical. You talk about guards, their guards get after it. They’re tough. They’re big. They’re strong. And Rico Dattle is running wild. But he’s been running wild against the Miami run defense, which is worst in the league, and the Dallas run defense, which is average giving up 175 yards a game the pass three. They’re not going to do that against the Jets. For that reason, I will take the Jets. I thought their defense played better last week against Denver. Denver didn’t run the ball. I don’t think Carolina runs it like they’ve been running it. I’ll take the Jets in this. Bro, I was so confused and disgusted to see the end of the first half. Clock management. Terrible for Justin Fields and coach. What was Aaron Glenn doing? They’re sitting around like they seen an alien. You have to unbelievable. You fake a punt and then you don’t go. I’m screaming at the TV. What the heck’s going on? People at our studio were looking at me like, “Is everything okay?” I’m like, “No, it’s not okay.” And for that reason, I’m going to pick the Panthers because they run the hell out of the football. icky Auano is over there just murdering people at the left tackle position. Got a lot better. Give me the Panthers. They’re good when it matter where it matters. And that guy Bryce Young, I think it was 158.3 to finish the football game. That’s where you want to be as a rating. As long as you can run the ball, he’ll be fine. Yep. But you have the Jets winning as well. I think they win the game. The last winless team toh to pick up a victory. All right. Uh, Saints and Bears. And here we go. Bears are starting to boogie. My dad’s feeling it. Go ahead. I want I want to hear the homer go. I’ll say this about the Chicago Bears. Great job last night. Great win. Hostile environment. Second year quarterback for a second year quarter, but you better send your thank you and your gift basket to some of those players who are uh responsible for turning the football over. Okay. Um, good win, but I’m cautiously optimistic about this Bears team. That being said, I am picking the Bears in this game. It is a home game. You get an opportunity to go back in front of that crowd. And I’ll also say this about the Saints. Kell Moore can coach, dude. Kell Moore can coach. Spencer Rattler can play quarterback in this league. I think he’ll be the Saints quarterback next year. And in addition, uh, take a look at the Eagles. You know, they might be missing our guy Kell Moore right now. So, it’ll be a competitive game. The Saints are a tough team. They’re in all these games, but the Bears will win the football game and and cover the number and they’ll cover. I got the Bearsus five and a half. I think it’ll be tough for a while and then they’ll pull away in the end. I think Caleb Williams has gotten so much better. He’s everything has slowed down for him. His feet have slowed down. You can see the game has slowed down for him and he’s playing much better. Ben Johnson deserves a lot of credit for that. They ran the ball. That was big. Getting Swift going in the run game and the pass game was enormous for that offense. I think they’ll come out uh they’ll be sluggish to start the game. Any anytime these teams win big games, particularly on a Monday night, you come back on a Sunday, it’s hard to get back up again, they’ll be sluggish, but in the end, they’ll find a way to cover this number, especially against a team like the Saints, right? You know, this is kind of that let down. You know, don’t be fooled. There’s no terrible teams out there except for the Jets. There’s no good teams either except for the Jets. For the Jets, but this ain’t the Jets. Pete has the Jets winning this week as I know he does. I’m going pray for you, Pete. Let’s uh recap 1:00 time picks from Pete Frisco and Kyle Long and they agree on Kansas City minus the 11 and a half. That’s the biggest number of the week by far. They both like the Eagles minus 2 and a half to get off the schneide and snap that twoame losing skid. And both like the Bears minus 5 and a half. All right, when we come back, this is an interesting one on CBS in the late window. It’s the Colts trying to get to six and one in LA against the Chargers. Let’s look at the late slate Sunday. Late slate like is fantastic, but that doesn’t rhyme. Uh CBS games, Colts at Chargers, good. Giants at Broncos, good interesting physical. Interesting. And uh 4:25 Eastern, we got the Commanders at the Cowboys. Skillful. And the Packers at the Cardinals. Questionable. Look at you. Look at you. Do the Packers, man. We’ll get into the Packers. We will. Well, we’ll start though with the Colts and Chargers. Colts best start, Pete, since that 14-0 team back in 2009 with Pton Manning. And I keep hearing these comparisons of Daniel Jones and stats compared to Pton Manning. Please don’t do that. Can we not do that? Don’t do that. Stop it. Daniel Jones has played well. Don’t get me wrong. I give him a lot compare him to Curt Warner last week. Yeah. And don’t do that either, but he’s played well. And I give him a lot of credit for the way he’s played. He’s actually looks comfortable in this offense. And people have said he’s in the MVP conversation. He’s not the MVP of his own team. He just isn’t. Jonathan Taylor is. And we know what they want to do. They want to run the ball and throw off that run. And that offensive line, by the way, Quinton Nelson has been a really good player at times in his career. Last couple years not as good. This year he is mauling dudes. And the center, our Paison, Bordellini playing very well. The right guard Conclaves playing very well. And the tackles are good. This is a good offensive line. They can run the ball. They take the pressure off Daniel Jones. And on the flip side, they got big guys on defense who can get after the quarterback as well. I like this team a lot. This is a proving game. I don’t know how good they are. They’ve beat the Dolphins. They beat the Titans. They beat the Raiders. And they beat the Cardinals who didn’t have their starting quarterback and were pushed to the brink by that Cardinals team at home. They go out to the Chargers and play this game. This will be a prove it game to me. If they win this game and handle the Chargers, I’m going to sit here and say the Colts have arrived. They’re for real. But if they don’t, the doubts come back in. And I think the Chargers are going to play well in this game. I think Herbert will be able to put up numbers against this team. He’s fantastic. We saw him go get a game-winning drive last week against Miami. I think he plays well enough to win it. This will be a fun game. I think we will see a lot of points in this game, but I’ll take the Chargers to win it. When I was in the league, there were certain games the night before the game, you just knew it was going to be a salt mine style game. And what I mean by that is we’re going to take these guys down to the salt mine. We’re going to see how hard they want to work and for how long. And I know that Jim Harbaugh is preparing his football team to stop our guy Jonathan Taylor, who you and I are both in agreement on not only being the MVP on that team, but I I have him in the top three of MVP in the National Football League. I know he doesn’t play quarterback, but that operation doesn’t happen without the running back. And uh as you as it pertains to Quinton Nelson having another career year, you got to just take a look at what was surrounding Quinton Nelson over the course of the last few years. And a guy like that to be able to get up physically every single day and try to be the best version of himself, it’s tough to do when you know it’s in a losing effort. The Colts, the light at the end of the tunnel is the light of day now. So for a guy like Quinton Nelson, he can really uh let it all hang out. I love the way he plays the game. That offensive line is a huge part of the success of Daniel Jones. That being said, I got the Colts in this one. I think they got the dudes to go handle it on both sides of the ball up front. And Daniel Jones has played really well. You’ve worked at a salt mine. I didn’t never knew that about you. Where are I I got that from Creed Humphrey, by the way. Center for the Kansas City Chiefs. He used to get up to at the front of the room and say, you know, it’s a salt mine game. I remember the salt miner’s daughter. Don’t you, Pete? That was that set the tone. Uh that set the tone for for what was going to happen. All right. If you don’t get that game on CBS, maybe you’ll get this one in the late window. 40:05 Eastern. Giants at Broncos. And we just talked Chargers. Chargers and Broncos are tied to top that division right now. This is another physical game. And you look at the way that the Giants have manufactured offense just through sheer physicality, willpower, and and psychosis from that running back. And their quarterback has the entire locker room believing in what they have going on. And when they made the move from the other guy to this guy, Jackson Dart, you know, I made comments about the other guy, but where I should have led is just more Jackson Dart, because I know the impact a guy like him could have on a locker room. They have a sense of belief now. And even with Malik Neighbors going down a couple weeks ago, this offense has a fighting chance. There’s still big plays that are out there um that haven’t been made yet. And even like a couple weeks ago, you saw some of these deep shots. I mean, Dable wants to go fireworks show with this guy, Jack loves him. They have to be able to connect on those, particularly against this Broncos team. It’s going to be a physical game. That being said, I got the Giants, okay? I got the Giants in this one to cover that number. I don’t think they win outright, but I think they keep it very close. I love what Dart has done for this team. He’s given him life. You know, Russell Wilson didn’t give him any life. He just not what he’s going to do, despite the fact he had all that stuff for the teammates before the game, his little workout room, and come spend time with me. It wasn’t real. What do you think about that? It wasn’t real. This is real. They believe in this guy, but this is a real challenge for a rookie quarterback to go play that defense on the road. And that defense is special. They get after the quarterback. Nick Bonito has been fabulous. The corners are going to lock up guys. They don’t really have real threats on the outside. I think it’s going to be a problem for Dart. And here’s a little message for Jackson Dart. I love what you’ve done. You’re a great quarterback. You’re fun to You’re going to be a really good player. Stop running. Stop running as much. you you can run, but get down and don’t go one and run. And by that I mean take a look at your one option and get out of there. Let it develop. One, two, three, and then get out. Although this week, he might not have time to do that because his pass rush is pretty good. I like Denver. I will say this about the Broncos. I’m worried about their offense. I think it’s time to allow Bo Knicks to stand in there and throw the ball down the field. Everything they do is boot out, get him on the move, get him there. and it limits cuts the field in half and it limits the chances for the big play. I think if he can do it, which we don’t know because they don’t let him do it much, let him stand there and throw the ball down the I would argue this is the wrong game to tell your rookie court or to get your secondyear quarterback to stand in the pocket because those maniacs in the rush group from the Giants, I would say if I’m an offensive lineman playing against this Giants team, I’m saying cut the field in half. Run, run, limits what they do. It really limits their passing game. In the big scheme of things, you want your quarterback to be able to sit back there and play quarterback, not play point guard, not play high low read every snap. He had one throw over 20 yards last week. One. I mean, it’s got to the ball’s got to go down the field. They were But I beg you, let’s run naked and let’s run boot a 100 times against this team cuz I don’t want to pass block any of these suckers. Probably on the other side too a little bit. Yes, 100%. Uh, the Broncos are on pace right now to shatter the 85 Bears sack record. By the way, they already have 30 sacks this season. I know we’re playing more games now. And and also don’t compare them to the 85 Bears either ever. It’s the greatest pace to break that but that’s the greatest that’s the greatest pass rush of all time bar none. Don’t compare them to them. Okay, I’ll stop comparing things to Pete’s childhood. Yeah, sorry Pete. Inner child Pete pissed off childhood. I was like in my 20s. What are you talking about? Nobody was better than John Havl. Oh yeah, there were a lot of people better than John Hav. Broncos have won eight straight at home by the way. That’s the longest home winning streak in the NFL. Let’s go to 4:25 Eastern. Cowboys home underdogs to the Commanders. And look at that number. It keeps climbing. Oh yeah. 54 and a half. Peter, they’re going to get Eberf loose. You think it’s going to get loose? What’ you say? Ef loose. Loose. I like that. I like that. This is going to get really loose. Look, anybody who plays the Cowboys, it’s going to get loose. They’re terrible on defense. They can’t stop anybody. And by the way, and I said this the other night, if Micah Parsons was there, it wouldn’t really matter. They’re getting run on. What’s he going to do? He’s not going to stop the run. That’s not what he does. And so, I think you’re going to see Washington go in there, even on a short week on the road. That’s tough to do. But I think they’re going to go in there and Daniels is going to play better than he did on Monday night. He turned the ball over on Monday night. Those are bad turnovers. Third and one in the gun. Did you like that? I didn’t like that. Third and sure. Aman blamed it on the weather. And then Caleb Williams dropped the ball and Troy was like, “You got to focus on that ball.” It’s not It’s not the It wasn’t the weather. He was just a By the way, I love Troy. He does a great job. Yeah, it was just a bad It was a bad play call in in third and one. I didn’t like it. But he turned the ball over and he can’t do that consistently. He won’t do it. This team isn’t good on defense. And I think on the other side of the ball, this might get really loose because you know Dak Prescott could score. And who the one thing about the Commanders, they give up a ton of big plays. They don’t tackle very well. You saw that on the swift touchdown Monday night. So, lots of points, but I’m going to take the commanders in this. That was bad right there on the sideline. Terrible. They don’t. And they’ve done it all year. You got a guy on the sideline. Go shoot your gun, man. You got use the sideline as a defender. 24th, I think, in yards uh passing against. That’s bad. After the performance that I saw from the Commanders last night, shooting themselves in the foot with the turnovers at home in prime time in a game that was very winnable for them, I fully anticipate them having to go, you know, let’s get to the the next game as quickly as possible. You know what I’m saying? You want that taste out of your mouth. And who better than to go against than that defense for the Dallas Cowboys. Give me the Commanders in this one. Jaden Daniels especi guys like Zack Z continuing to show up for this group. We were talking about Zack Z before this thing. It’s like he is the timeless ageless wonder uh for the Commanders. Hit him on the opening drive. He was wide open on the interception. Maybe next time. Next time. Commanders better win because uh they’ve got the Chiefs after that, then the Seahawks, then the Lions, by the way. Really tough schedule. Doesn’t Doesn’t minus one point one and a half look fishy a little bit? Are we are we getting the line throw? What? You think they should be favored by more than one or so? Really? Yeah. I think I think three and a half is a good number. Yeah. Don’t look Doesn’t that look We’re getting three and a half. Okay. You you want to know why it’s one and a half? It’s because uh this guy George Pickkins and Dak Prescott. Yeah, because they’re playing good football. Must see television. They’re great. It’s fun to watch. He’s And he knows he takes the field every single week knowing he’s going to have to put up a big number. Yeah, they’re averaging on their last three games well over 30 points per game, but only one win in those three games because of uh can’t give up 250 yards on the ground, buddy. All right, the other game at 425 is Packers and Cardinals. And Pete, you’re back on that Packer bandwagon. You got them all the way up to number two in your power rankings. Well, I started them up there, so I think they’re a good football team. I don’t again, I don’t think we’ve seen the best of this team yet either. Not even close. They’ve had so many injury, you know, talk about teams that have been decimated by injuries. They’ve had a ton of them. Guys in and out of the lineup. I still think, you know, you got Golden going last week, which was important. I think going forward he’s going to become more of a factor in the passing game. They’re really good on third down. But, by the way, on offense, they’re almost impossible to stop. They’ve done a great job on third down. I think they’re going to continue to get better on offense. Uh the defense is improving. Where’s Micah Parsons, by the way? Anybody want to want to answer that question? Amongst a sea of offensive linemen every time. He’s got to be better. You’re you’re Micah Parsons. You got to be better than what he’s been. And I haven’t watched the tape from last week, but he got blocked. He got held a couple times, too. But he’s got to be better. This defense, I thought a guy like Cooper, the linebacker, Edin Cooper, would take a next step and be in the defensive player of the year conversation. Hadn’t happened. Uh, you know, Quay Walker hadn’t played as well. They have just haven’t really gone to where I thought they would be, but it’s coming. Like the Chiefs, it’s coming. Yeah. And I think this is a week for them. I think Jordan Love plays well. I’ll take the Packers. I’ve got the Packers as well. And like you said, we have yet to see the best of this Green Bay Packers team. And something tells me that a version of them is going to show up when the time really matters the most. And they’re going to play really well. But I think this week doesn’t require their best. Give me the Packers to cover that number, though. One thing that we got to keep an eye on for them is Christian Watson’s going to be coming back soon. And when I was there in the summer, he was running already, which was amazing coming off the ACL. They need him. He’s a field stretcher. And the other guys are all kind of the same. They’re the underneath guys. Although Golden will be that eventually. They need Christian Watson back on the field. Who do you think we see a quarterback for the Cardinals? Kyler. Well, Kyler’s he’ll come back if he’s It’s early in the week. I mean, it’s tough picking these games on Tuesday. Yes. But if he’s if he’s cleared, he’s playing despite the fact that there’s this idea out there that Brousette was good enough that maybe Kyler Murray should sit on the bench. That’s absurd. That’s Come on. Let’s Let’s stop that. Everybody gets so enamored with the backup quarterback. He comes in, he plays. Look, nobody. They didn’t prepare for him really. I mean, you know, give me a break. You are what you are. You are what you are. You’re a backup quarterback. Kyler Murray’s a starter. But having said that, when he comes back, if he comes back this week or when he comes back, he’s got to play better. Or this could be his final year with the Cardinals. Could be. All right. Uh, those are the late afternoon games. A couple of them on CBS, couple on on Fox. Here are the picks from Pete and Kyle. And agreements on Washington minus one and a half in Dallas. Washington. Washington. W. Rick Spielman used to say it that way. My father-in-law says it that way. Must be a Midwest thing. Yeah, it is. Packers minus 6 and a half at the Cardinal. A lot of people saying war up there in Wisconsin, too, I think. All right, coming up, 49ers banged up. They still have Christian McCaffrey. When will Brock Pury come back? They just lost their first game with M. Jones, and now they’ve got to face the Falcons who are coming off a huge win. All right, looking at the prime time game on Sunday night. Oh man, Robinson, star power. Who’s the better running back in this game? Bejian Robertson or Christy McAffrey? Come on. What year is it? I mean, three years ago was Christian McCaffrey. Right now it’s Bejon. Is it? Yes. Or Bejon. What does he change his name to every day? What’s his name right now? Bjan. No, it’s not. It’s Bjon. I think he changed it again. Bjon. Bjon. Bjon. Bjon. Bjon Robinson. Bjon. Bjan. Bejian. Bjan. It’s Bejian. Put a little Djon on it. That’s Kyle and that’s Pete. Let’s pick this one. Falcons coming off a couple really big wins. They they’ve beaten some good teams this season. 49ers. M. Jones, you said it, you are what you are. He kind of turned into a pumpkin last week. Well, he did some really good things in that game and then made a couple bad decisions. But, uh, when I look at this 49ers team, they have just been depleted of their stars. Fred Warner, I mean, Fred Warner and Nick Bosa are the lifeblood of their defense. They really are. And when you look at them, take it away Nick Bosa is one thing. take it away, Fred Warner, because he’s the best coverage linebacker in the league and he’s one of those guys that can do so many different things and it opens up the middle of the field. But I think this is one of those spots for Kyle Shanahan. I really do. And you have a young team in Atlanta, young a lot of young players on the team off a big win out on the road that sometimes can be a really bad combination. It’s going to challenge Raheem Mars this week to get that group back up again. And I think it’s going to show up here. I think M. Jones or Perie, whatever how they do it, whatever plays is going to be able to scheme up some stuff to throw. Look, when you have an aggressive defense, and we saw that, we saw that Monday night against Buffalo. They get after the quarterback. They attack. They blitz. When you do that, the best thing to do is throw back across the way, get them flowing one way, get the tight end leaking out the other way. Fire with fire. And I think Kyle Shannon’s the best at that. I think they’ll find a way. I’m taking the 49ers. I’ll start with the offensive side of the ball for the Atlanta Falcons. It is so pretty to watch a left-handed quarterback bootleft. It’s so nice to see a big guy like Drake London be a mismatch on anybody who could cover him. It is incredible to watch Bejan Robinson get the football and just show that he has otherworldly skill relative to the best athletes on the planet. And I was just racking my brain about which guys in the league I think are in that conversation. It’s got to be like Bejan Robinson, Miles Garrett, maybe Justin Jefferson. who else is just such an anomaly physically. Um, but they’ve, you know, they’ve got a couple X-Men down there in Atlanta. And to your point, going on the road, beating a really good football team is going to be very tough, but I think they do it. And the reason they do it is because of that pass rush, those young guys you mentioned, they got a taste of the blood last week and they’re going to get an opportunity to go get after some quarterbacks, maybe one quarterback this week. Uh, give me the Falcons in this game. All right, Falcons and 49ers Sunday Night Football. Of course, you can always listen to Kyle on the Pushing the Pile podcast. What’ you push out today? Uh, today we we pushed out a number of things. We got Mike Rener’s uh, you know, draft segment talking about some young linebackers. We got, you know, I was talking about offensive line stuff, the screen game, a lot of cool stuff. Okay. Pushing the pile podcast with Kyle Long, Mike Rener, JPcasta, and others. Scan that QR code. It will take you right there. All right, we’ve got another double Monday nighter. It’s like every week we’ve got two Monday night games. Now they own They own it. Well, one of them’s a really good matchup. Lions, Bucks, maybe an NFC Championship game preview. My rally friends are coming over the line. Monday Night Football. This is a Let me hang on. Is it a double header or a double dipper this week? It’s a double whammy. Double whammy. Wow. Whammy. Uh, Bucks, Lions, Texans, Seahawks. Those are the two games and they are separated by three hours. So, we will call that a double header. That Texans Seahawks game late night. Power rankings won’t get filed till like 1:00 in the morning, which is all you care about, right? Hey, what’s good for me is good for me. Hey, speaking of power rankings, Bucks, Lions, Lions were number one last week, Bucks number one this week, and they’re playing each other on Monday night. And this is going to be fun to watch. We talk about a game where it’s going to get. This is it, right? Boom. Boom. Boom. Down. Jonathan Ganon video. He’s likew So if it’s like 9:00 on Monday and it’s 97, just think about me, right? Oh boy. No, this one’s going to get really loose. can’t see any way it does not. I mean, the way the Bucks offense is playing, Baker Mayfield playing at a high level, all those injuries in the secondary for the Lions, and they had problems last week covering the Chiefs receivers. I think they’re going to have problems covering whatever receivers, whoever’s out there. And it looks like Mike Evans might be back this week for the Bucks. That would be enormous. And on the flip side, Jericho at home, he can light things up. The Bucks will have problems stopping that offense as well. So, I look for a lot of points and I really do think that the this is going to be up and down. last one with the football wins. I think the Lions might win the game, but I think the Bucks with the number, that’s the play. I’ll take the Bucks. So much of what the Lions do when they have success is predicated on dominating from BAP to B gap. So, guard, center, guard in the run game, in the playaction game. Those guys they’re playing against for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, especially on the inside. Vea, oh my god. Okay, that is scary to watch as an offensive lineman. So, I will tell you this. If you’re going to be watching one thing in this football game, watch right there at the ball, the snap of the ball. Who is winning that line of scrimmage? It’s going to be tough sledding for that Lions group. I’m gonna be picking the Buccaneers because the guy who is the MVP right now is Baker Mayfield. He plays on the Bucks. And you said it. Mike Evans might be back in there. Ibuka is getting his thing uh MRI this week. Get Mike Evans in there. Do you like the Bucks with the points, but who do you think wins the game? That’s tough. I like the Bucks with the points. Yeah, I think the Bucks get the points, but I think the Lions win the game. Don’t you think we’re getting fish hooked here? Vegas is begging you to I can smell a Montgomery explosive run in the fourminute um that leads the Lions to win at home, but by a field goal, something like that. Yeah, you do the math. I Three is three is three is less than you get into the five range, I’m out. Look at these injuries. I mean it just wild what the Bucks have been able to do without all of these guys. By the way, the right side of the line right there, that’s the tackle and the guard. That’s who they are. Then you got all those four receivers and then you got the two corners cuz Morrison probably would have been starting at some point. Now Dean still starts. Kanye was going to have a big time year for him. Bucky Irvin. I mean, it’s incredible. And all we ever hear about is other teams injuries. We never hear about the Bucks injuries. The Bucks draft well. They bring football. Jason Light does a great job. He does a great job. And they’re ready to go. you your MVP at this point, Pete, is Baker Mayfield. Absolutely. Kyle, what do you think? Uh, yes. And it will be Patrick Mahomes in about two weeks. He’ll be number one. Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes is really going to pick it up in the next couple weeks. That’s a sick man. That’s a sick puppy out there. I agree. Hey, the Lions don’t lose back-to-back games. It’s been 50 games since they’ve lost backtoback. 11 straight times they’ve won following a loss, which is why I pick them to win and the Bucks to cover. Lions to win, but Bucks to cover the five and a half. The five and a half. That’s at 7 o’clock Eastern time on Monday. Just there’s also a different version of Baker Mayfield that shows up on the road and we saw it in Seattle. He was great. We saw how pissed off edge to him. I love that. Dude, you want to talk about an edge? No, he has an edge to him no matter where he But you put him in an away crowd and people saying you suck. I love that because that guy was on him and riding him and he just gave it right back. That guy’s been in that tunnel forever. He yelled at me, too. And then he remembered Did you We had Jimmy Clawson. We didn’t have Baker Mayfield, so I didn’t say much back. You didn’t yell back to him? Oh, I would have yelled. I couldn’t hold my tongue. No, I would have been brutal. I had Michael Bennett and Cliff Averil in me bing over there. You don’t want to do that. Trying to kill my quarterback. That’s our East Coast game on Monday Night Football out on the West Coast. Seahawks at home against the Texans. Now, the Texans coming off a buy and before that they won back-to-back games by 25 plus. So funny that in this game, so we showed the promo picture. It was Sam Darnold and CJ Stout. If I told you last year, I’d be like, “The guy on the right is heavily favored in this game.” You’d be like, “You are smoking crack right now.” Quarterback scales or better. He’s better right now. Give us the quarterback skills, Pete. 100%. That’s Darnold’s better. It’s like we are in an alternate reality now where the Seahawks are quarterbacked by Sam Darnold. Their offense is wildly efficient. The defense is great, and they can’t figure out what the heck is going on in Houston. Um, that being said, I got the Seattle Seahawks here at home. It’s a 12th man showing up in a big way, too. They haven’t played as well at home as they have on the road, which is weird. Bizarre. I mean, that’s under Mike McDonald. They’ve been better on the road than at home. What have they won? Nine straight on the road and they just haven’t been as good at home. Last time they played at home, the Bucks beat them. That game, they had a lot of injuries in the secondary. They might get guys back, but if they don’t, their difference in this game will be that pass rush. They sacked the Jaguars quarter. They sacked Trevor Lawrence seven times last week and it could have been 15. They were dominant up front. They got after the quarterback and that’s a line that gave up six sacks going in. This Texans offensive line not very good. This is going to be ugly for CJ Stra. They’re going to get after him. They’re going to knock him down six, seven times. They’re going to brutalize him. I think he’ll turn the ball over. I’m going to take Seattle the win. And I got to give a huge amount of credit to this Seahawks group. Everybody, myself included, was looking at the offense to see what they were going to do this season. And obviously, they’ve answered the bell in a big way. But that defense is the backbone, the identity, the straw that stirs the drink for the Seattle Seahawks. And I’m I’m glad you pointed out the pass rush. In addition to that, that group’s not all the way healthy. They are going to get better throughout the course of the season. And what’s the weak point of that Houston Texans group? It’s the O line. You said it. So, this is a combination of strengths and weaknesses that don’t do not bode well at all for CJ Stout and the Houston Texans. One other thing, in a league where yards per attempt numbers have gone way down, way down, Sam Darnold leads the league at 9.6. And it’s not even close, by the way. He’s bombs away. And when I love that, the fact that the ball is going down the field and he’s hitting Smith and Jigma on a lot of big plays. He’ll hit a couple in this game as well. Are they the most complete team in that division, the Seahawks? They might be. When they get every when they get the secondary healthy again, Witherspoon has to be on the field. and they get that group healthy again, they might be. Okay, so again, two games on Monday Night Football. We recap the prime time picks for you in Monday night from Pete and Kyle who are now both over 500 for the season. Let’s go Pete. Both liking the Steelers minus 5 and a half against the Bengals. Pete also likes that to get loose with a lowercase L. Now the Bucks game, that’s that’s all caps loose, right? That’s all caps. That’s just loose. It’s not even loose. is just off, huh? Just on the floor. The cap is gone on that. Uh, and they like the Seahawks. Minus three and a half against the Texans. They might really like that. More on that with best bets coming up. Sam Darnold slinging it around. We know they like the Seahawks, but how much? It is time for best bets and Pete Prrisco is the only one over 500 with the best bets this season on fire. We’re kicking all of our tails incl Look at the producers. I I feel bad for the producers. What? Producing bad things. And every week it’s like it’s like a prop or a team. They get too They get too exotic with their Yeah, way too exotic. Just pick You know what? They need to produce a clean drug test. They’re one and five, buddy. Okay. You’re only one game better. He’s bragging. He’s two and four and you’re bragging on it. Yeah, I saw my brawl off. He lead us off. You’ve got the honors. Yeah. And I got the Seahawks. I I just think this is a bad spot with that offensive line for the Texans. They’re going to get all over. CJ Stout is going to turn the ball over. I look, I still don’t They’ve been better on offense. I don’t believe in them. I think playing the Ravens when they played them, that team was decimated. This team will get after the quarterback. I’ll take Seattle minus the points. Go ahead. I’m going with the Seattle Seahawks, too. One my best bet. There will be no ga no ground gained this week between the leader and the club. Oh, is that why you did it? No, I know. You You have to gain ground. I didn’t. You know what? Wait, who copied off of who? He copied my Here’s the best bet. It’ll be different from yours. Okay. It’ll be the under in the Seattle and the Houston game. Okay. So, you’re picking the Seattle. It’s going to get tight. You’re not You’re not picking two. You’re picking one. No. So, we can, you know, potentially have some difference. Okay. So, you’re trying to catch me? Yeah, I’m trying to catch you. Okay. All right. But you really like Seattle. You really like Seattle, too, though. Oh, I like Seattle a lot. Look at this, Pete. Sellers remorse, huh? The Browns giving up on Baker Mayfield. They’re one and five. His Bucks are 5-1. Giants giving up on Daniel Jones. They’re two-4. Colts are 5- one. Jets giving up on Sam Darnold. They’re the only winless team in the NFL. And the Seahawks are 4 and2. And you guys think they’re going to roll this week? The Daniel Jones one is fool’s gold. The one that they should keep in mind is the Minnesota Vikings cuz he was there last year. Oh, this is great. By the way, wait, I thought, didn’t you say we couldn’t compare him to to to Pton? That’s what Pete said. You can take you can take a comparison and you can make me the starting guard of the Green Bay Packers at some point. Only two quarterbacks have led the Colts to five wins in six weeks since Y2K. Payton Manning and Daniel Jones. If Pete Prrisco had played in the 30s, he might have been a starting guard on the Green Bay Packers. If only that Yeah, give me a break. What are we doing? You would have been average height in the 30s. That’s what I mean. Uh, my play is Panthers minus one and a half against the Jets. Pete doesn’t like that. I know you were on. I’m obsessed with that. Can we tease it to like uh three and a half? Tease it. You get it to seven and a half. You got to have another game though, too. Here’s the producer pick. Ready? Giants first half team total over seven and a half at the Broncos. That’s Jack. Jack came up with that one. He usually comes up with those right there. Remember they did Titans first half team total a couple weeks ago and didn’t get it. No. Yeah. And because he kic he didn’t kick a field goal at the end of the half and he was complaining about I don’t know that I’ve ever seen you guys have the same best bet. Well, we don’t. He remember he has the under. He still has love. Love the Seahawks. They beat him up. They beat him up. And they love us. They do. No, they don’t. They don’t love me. Thanks for watching us here on HQ Spotlight. picking every game against the spread.

I'm a Cowboys fan and tbh, Cowboys defense is bad…..like really bad, so Commanders might have a chance. Cardinals defense was ranked number 5 but not anymore but I still got Cards upsetting Packers.
As a cowboys fan, I cannot wait for Bucs-Lions game, I got Bucs winning. I love the Lions but I got Baker beating the Jared, I got Baker on my parlay too
Pete said something good about the Seahawks, fuck. I’ll start drinking now, GG Houston, you deserve the win. 🍻
36:40 "I got two words for you. Dak Prescott and George Pickens, must see tv"
Chiefs are 3-3 but the whole media can't keep it in their pants for them 😂 they are average and have so far beat the worst defence in the league in Baltimore and the Lions who had guys off the street in their secondary 😂😂😂
Seahawks. This better not be a trap game. If we lose we’re gonna be first round exits even if we make it. Still a lot more games
These guys know nothing about football
Day 2345 of asking how Prisco still has a job, dude has the shittiest takes.
Let’s F’n Goooo ☠️ Bake show!
Kyle, man. You definitely think differently. Chargers over the Colts, , Saints over the Bears. The Giants will not cover against the Bronco's. The lions cover and will beat Tampa.
I swear no matter what all year people are gonna keep saying well they havent beat anybody, bad teams dont win by 30 points in games….especially when they played better than the Rams and lost yhat game by their own faults
As much as I want them to , just don’t see the Eagles losing 3 straight, plus Vikings aren’t that good so yeah.
Too bad the bucs aren't coming in to Detroit after they had a big win… After a big loss, they're going to be roaring
0:18 hey Petie Pie, how are your jets doing this season?
49:48 kill me
Nobody likes the whistle CBS moment
Seattle have Geno all that money
KC has the NFL and it’s referees in its back pocket again, I’m sure KC wins every game at home going forward
Get this Pete guy off the show.
These dudes are 🤡s.. Even they don't believe the bs they are spewing. 🤦♂️
No way is Darnold better than CJ Stroud. He's playing behind a great OL and has the best defense in the game. Darnold would go into severe pumpkin mode behind that Texan OL.
How dare they say that Henry and Barkley are in the same position. Barkleys has 95 carries, while Henry with 88 carries has 115 more yards. They are saying Henry is finished, but Barkley just "doesn't get the ball enough" hahah
Pete:”Nelson hasn’t been as good the last two years”
Nelson was an all pro last year
The reason Tomlin questioned the flacco trade was to throw shade at the browns organization for drafting 2 QBs then choosing to run out the old man. Wasting more money and more time.
How are the chargers favorited against the Colts 😂? I get they are at home but bro… Chargers BARELY beat the Dolphins, Colts beat them by 21+ 🤣
I still remember all that crap Pete talked about Bryce Young. I’m glad he’s still on that side stay over there.
34:50 Troy can control what and how ppl think from what he says
So the team that almost lost to the Dolphins is going to beat the Colts lol
Where Rex Ryan? We need T-Rex back
Once again the segment that includes the Panthers is the shortest segment of the episode
Comments are only worth reading at a videos infancy. everyone’s attitude with the media lol. How in the world did they get the keys to the American kingdom?
Vikings don't want Darnald back! No way! Don't forget Max the third string QB. He's very capable!!
As long as the o-line is healthy they'll be fine.
Yall funny Seattle aint on LA LEVEL 😂
