for week 10. Chris, you're up first. Well, I'm going to go to
the coach homecoming
that I'm most excited about the big game on Sunday afternoon.
The Cowboys Packers, even though the Packers are not what
we thought, they were going to be, I mean Mike McCarthy versus
the Green Bay Packers at some interested in that story.
Certainly first time going back to Green Bay was a Super Bowl
winning. Head coach man on the way out the door.
Door. There was a lot of stories about this function and,
you know, him and Rogers. Did they get along?
And here it is McCarthy and the Cowboys are thriving and
continue to get better and Rogers and Company or, you
know, going down the drain here as we watch slowly. So
I am excited to see that let alone it's
McCarthy in that defense verse
a struggling, Aaron Rodgers and that offense to which I mean,
I'm sure he wouldn't, he won't shed a tear of his Divas, picks
off Rogers a few times and hit. Some and
makes life miserable. So I'm excited to see that.
Just occurred to me, if the Packers finished 7 and 10 or
worse, they will allow lost as many games this year. As they
did in Matt lafleur's three prior regular seasons
combined. He's got 10
in three prior Seasons, he could have 10 or more
this year. I'm going to look at a game that's going to be
happening at the same time that not many people are going to be
watching. It's not going to be broadcast nationally. It's
a 405 Eastern start but it's the Colts at the Raiders. Yeah. If
They versus Josh McDaniels,
the guy who jilted the Colts
versus the guy who came out of nowhere to take over the Colts.
And hey, this may be exactly what McDaniels needs because
he's a guy that the buzzards were kind of circling around
and what's going to happen with him, is he going to survive
this
season long meetings with Mark Davis after every game losing
an ugly fashion? They need this one badly.
If he loses to Jeff Saturday on Sunday, Chris
there may not be a Monday
for Josh McDaniels.
I I hear you there that would scare me too
and that probably would have been my next pick two for two
teams. That aren't very good. That is kind of like, you know,
but this the history of McDaniels of the Colts and then
what's going on right now and all that? Yeah,
it's you got a to, we got a tune in and make sure we keep
an eye on that just for ya, how the game unfolds and
the process and what, you know, Jeff Saturday looks like
managing some situations,
I mean that to me is,
you know, going to be be worth the watch just there and
Itself. So I'm with you there, it's a good pick.
I think the next one I'm going to go do is Russell Wilson
verse this, hot Titans defense, right? The Titans. I just feel
like don't look at what their yards per game are or what they
are ranked. They don't let
you score points very easily
and their defense, it's you take last four weeks as
compared to early in the year,
you know, where they've struggled and had some
injuries. And I think their defense Mike, they are one of
those teams that they have so many rules and How many things
they do? They mess some things up early in the year,
but man, they got to going. It was an onslaught of different
coverages creativity and stuff against the Kansas City Chiefs
last week and now you gotta Russell Wilson.
Okay. Yeah, they had a bye week that it get any better
and you got to deal with this group who
they just rush for, They Don't Really Ever Blitz and you got
to try to pick apart this defense and what they do. Wow.
So I want to see Russell Wilson versus group and see if he's
improved and this offensive if it's
Proved it all here, over the bye week.
I got another coaching matchup that wasn't obvious, and
I said, during the break. A lot of times, you just scroll
through the Slate of games and the, the Intriguing matchups,
jump off the page. This one required a little thought for
me. Yeah, Doug Peterson and Andy
Reid. Whoa, the former, the former read Lieutenant Brian
Jaguars in coming off of a win over the Raiders, trying to
turn around their season, the Chiefs
a little underwhelming in their come-from-behind victory, over
the Titans, all the It's a pretty good,
you know, there's a couple of guys, you know, each other
well, and I give Andy Reid The Edge. He knows Doug Peterson
pretty well. And again, it's
look how expect the Jaguars to win the game. I'm just
intrigued by the fact that it's
head coach, and one of his former lieutenants who have
done pretty well for himself won a Super Bowl
elsewhere in Philadelphia. Let's take a break, we'll do
round three of the week 10 matchup draft, right after
this.
Right. Tick, tick, tick tick. I am gonna go with our game on
Sunday night, which I'm really excited about. I mean,
the Chargers at the 49ers stinks. We won't see the Bosa Brothers.
Right, you know,
at least I don't think Joey's gonna play, right? I love it.
Maybe there's somebody I think so. Yeah,
Exodia right on.
Yeah, so I don't expect that. But the big thing for me is
Shanahan verse Daily here and this one
we discussed a little earlier in the show. Debose back. We
haven't seen Christian McCaffrey would Debo unveiled.
And what they can do there
we saw what they can do with Christian McCaffrey and how
special that was, well you got that and then a Chargers
defense that
can't stop the run.
I mean, they can't stop the run and you got to deal with,
you know, some things that you haven't seen before and a team
that's healthy off a bye week. So I'm excited to see what
Stanley does to compound that and how he tries to, you know,
slow down this attack of the 49ers, that's one. I'm
intrigued by on Sunday night.
I am Going to assume that Josh Allen will not play on Sunday
which makes Case Keenum / to Fawn. Digs versus the Vikings.
My final pick the Bizarro Minneapolis Miracle game. It
really is
amazing to think that the two guys on both ends of one of
the most memorable plays in NFL history, could be going against
the Vikings with the same team.
Again it all presumes that Alan won't play. But I listen to
Vegas. Chris, that move that line moves from nine and a half
to three and a half. Tells me Josh Allen isn't playing. It's
going to be case
and Stephane versus the Vikings and even though the coaching
staff has changed, there's still some guys on that defense
that no Case Keenum and Stefon Diggs very well from practice.
Yeah, well, you know, I'm interested, even to of just
the, the Kirk
Cousins aspect of this
and oh, by all due accounts, it seems like Stefon Diggs, wanted
out of there and didn't want to deal with that. And he wanted
to go with Josh Allen and then Kirk Cousins
by also, by all, do you know accounts here is
He's pretty happy with Jefferson Jefferson. He
certainly shouldn't be disappointed. He can make
a crazy case that he may be upgraded, even though both are
awesome for sure. So that makes it interesting to Mike
and cousins said something like that. And I would be very
careful because you give Stefon Diggs extra motivation. He kind
of slips into that alter ego and you don't want to mess with
him. It should be a great game.
Thanks for some of your time, have a great day. See you.
