00:00Another week of the picks. Quick updated standings. Heather, in first place, you may have heard,
00:0674 and 53. She went four and three last week. Just handing out winners. 11 game lead on
00:13me and Tom. We both went three and four last week. We're not going the right direction.
00:18Greg and John Jansen in dead last. Shout out to Stoney. Who's eight and six, a winning
00:23record filling in here. All right, let's get after it. Greg CFP semi-final at the cotton
00:29bowl, getting into this game early. The Ohio state university favored by five and a half
00:34against Texas in Jerry world. Jim, Michigan woke him up and they are going to put everybody
00:39to bed. Ohio state's going to win the whole thing. They'll lay five and a half and win
00:43the game. Yeah. Everything points to Ohio state here. I mean, they're just absolutely
00:49on fire right now. You know, doubling up both playoff games. I'm going to go with them here,
00:54but, uh, the wild card here is Texas throws in arch Manning and, uh, changes everything.
00:59Uh, I think Ohio state is by far the best team still around. And, uh, I think they curb
01:05stomp them. Give me the Buckeyes. Uh, yeah, I'm going to echo everything you've already
01:10said. I'm going with Ohio state as well. You're turning on McConaughey. Yeah. You know, what
01:15about John Jansen? He hates Ohio state. And he is going with the Buckeyes. Don't forget
01:25to run the ball Sark, Texas, the other CFP semifinal. This one's on Thursday. That's
01:33where we're picking it today. Notre Dame early line favored by one and a half against the
01:38Pennsylvania state university in the orange bowl. Gov Notre Dame probably has the best
01:45defense in the country when it comes down to it. I'm going to take them here. I'm a
01:48little puzzled that this line is a small, it makes me a little concerned, but I'm going
01:52to fight in Irish. I like Notre Dame. Uh, I like Notre Dame as well. Uh, Abdul Carter,
01:58who knows whether they're going to win or not. And with who knows whether he's going
02:03to play or not. And if he doesn't play there in a heap of trouble, uh, give me the fight
02:07in Irish. Uh, yeah, I want Notre Dame too. What about John Jansen? He was recruited by
02:14Notre Dame. He probably hates Notre Dame too, because he went to Michigan. What's he saying?
02:26All right. Enough of that. Another pick for Notre Dame. The orange bowl trophy. It looks
02:30like someone procrastinating on a work assignment. Oh crap. That's today. Uh, someone just buy
02:36a big glass bowl and put some oranges in it. All right, cool. Notre Dame wins Jim. Having
02:42said that, it's still a cool trophy. And yes, I will join the chorus of people backing
02:46Notre Dame. I'm not betting James Franklin as an underdog in a big spot. They'll lay
02:50the egg. Let's go to the NFL Packers favored by 10 and a half as they welcome the bears
02:56in the Lambeau field. Stoney, uh, the bears, they don't want to any part of this game.
03:00They would just want to go home and green Bay. There's still some seating issues there.
03:04Give me the Packers big. Yeah, I think just for fun, I'm going to go with the bears. What
03:10about John? John's with Heather. Did he make that sound effects himself? No, that is the
03:18sound of a bear or a Packer. Bears put a scare to the pack. Chicago, Jim, I'll lay the 10
03:26and a half points to Stoney's point. They've been thinking vacation for a couple of weeks
03:30in Chicago Packers. It's a big deal. They want to avoid the seven seed. They want to
03:34get up to the six seats so they don't have to go to Philadelphia. Packers win big. Yeah,
03:40the bears have just showed zero life. Like the whole, Hey, let's rally the troops the
03:45last game of the year and play good. No, it's, it's not happening. I'm going, I'm going green
03:49Bay here. Jim mentioned seating purposes and uh, the fact that the bear scored three points
03:54last week just puts the nail in the coffin for me. It's play well. Uh, bangles go to
03:59Pittsburgh is one and a half point road favorites. Start with Heather. Uh, you know, Joe burrow
04:04bought the offensive line Samurai swords and that's pretty cool. So I'm going with
04:10the bangles. It's the highest form of respect. Yeah. John, all right. That's the bangles
04:25fight song. All of those old fights are terrible. They're great. I love them. I never heard
04:29that one before. Believe it or not. Uh, Steelers enter the day with a chance to still win the
04:33division. They will not shut it down if the Ravens close the North and win it a half hour
04:39before kickoff Steelers. Jim, I have flip flopped on this game so much. We did this
04:46dance earlier. The bangles were four and seven favored over the Steelers who had a winning
04:50record and the Steelers won that game outright. This is Tomlin as a home underdog. I don't
04:55trust the bangles. Give me the Steelers. I'm going to go with the bangles here because
05:01I think the Ravens are going to close things up and the Steelers are going to call off
05:04the dogs and be smart. They will be smart in the second half and the bangles will take
05:08advantage of that and the Steelers will start benching defensive players and the fat bangles
05:13have a huge advantage here playing the day before they still have a chance to make it.
05:17I will go since he, uh, Cincinnati is a 73 and 43 against the spread on the road dating
05:23back to 2011. Give me the bangles. Dolphins seeking a playoff spot against the jets favored
05:30by one and a half on the road. John, are you sure you can't just games to be coming
05:43with a surgeon? General's warning. Watching this could be hazards to your health. Dolphins.
05:48Jim, I hate this. You have to back the dolphins in the cold or back the jets period. J E T
05:58S jets, jets, jets. He just can't let them go. Can you? I mean, they were six and two
06:04at the by. Did you guys know that? Yeah. All right. Sorry. I'm being very mean. Um, I will
06:09go with the jets too because of the cold factor. And I do think Aaron Rogers has some pride
06:14and he'll show it this week. And I just don't trust the dolphins. This is a rivalry game.
06:18By the way, these teams, teams do not like each other. I think the jets do what the bears
06:23don't and the jets win this game. Now that's the funniest joke you've ever told. Gov. Uh,
06:28this is the Aaron Rogers versus Huntley matchup that we've all been waiting for. It's cold.
06:33I think Aaron Rogers knows this is, could be his last game in the national football
06:37league. Um, give me the jets. Hmm. All right. Well, I'm going to go with the dolphins because
06:43the dolphins make me think of Ace Ventura, which make me think of snowflake and Dan Marino,
06:48which was a dolphin. So it makes sense to me. It does. A Broncos are 10 and a half point
06:54home favorites against the 15 and one chiefs. Chiefs are going to shut it down. See y'all
06:59in two weeks. Broncos. Are they shutting it down? Like significantly? I know my homes
07:05isn't playing, but are they going to shut the whole team down for 24 days? I don't know
07:09that I buy that. I think they can keep it close. Give me Kansas city. Andy Reid dials
07:13up a game plan using Carson Wentz just in case he needs them down the road to put some
07:19points on the board here. This game's going to be close. Maybe the Broncos eke it out
07:24long-term, but I'm taking the chiefs here. I will never, ever. I don't care who's playing
07:28for Andy Reid. Still the coach. Is he off? Is he taking a buy and they still have a defense
07:32against Bo Nix, a rookie quarterback. I know Chris Jones isn't playing. They have other
07:36guys not playing behind besides my homes. I don't think Kelsey's playing, but Carson
07:41Wentz is probably one of the best backup quarterbacks in this league. They'll dial
07:45up some stuff. Gov's right. Uh, they'll keep it close. Give me the chiefs. I'm going to
07:51go with the Broncos because there's lots of reasons, but did you guys know that they've
07:54got a player named little Jordan? Yeah. Little. Yeah. L I L. Yeah, I know. Well, I got, but
08:01he's not little. He's not. No. Like Colin. Exactly. He going with the Broncos there,
08:09John
08:14hail to the chiefs says John Jansen lions host the Vikings NFC North. Number one seed
08:22by week home field advantage on the line on Sunday night football lions favored by two
08:32and a half. Jim lions. Come on now. Dan Campbell owns Kevin O'Connell. Jerry golf owns Brian
08:42Flores and the lions offense scores more points and wins the game. Give me the Leo's Greg.
08:49I'm going to put you on a spot here cause I didn't tell you this and I should have.
08:52So very bad to do this to a producer live on the air, but it's time to open up something
08:56that we did a few weeks ago against Buffalo. Do you have some music? Oh no. Do we have
09:02any disco music right now? Can we search disco and put it in because the lines are
09:07going to win this game by double digits. The double digit disco is back open. I'm not scared.
09:13The QB situation here is extremely different. We've got a tier two. They got a three or
09:18four. He's coming in here. Lions win by at least 10. You mentioned the quarterbacks,
09:26Jared Goff, 15 four and one against the spread and divisional games over 2021. However, Sam
09:35Darnold eight and one against the spread as an underdog. It's going to be the standard.
09:43That's what I'm here for. Lions 31 Vikings 30. All right. Well, um, you guys, I'm going
09:51to go with my people, not my people as in the Vikings, but my people as in Detroiters,
09:58I am going with the lions, my genuine people. Let's go lions. Hey, go have John. What do
10:06you got? John with the lions, the logo on the Vikings helmet looks like a toilet flush
10:15lions. He's right. Is that Stoney on Viking Island? Yeah. Lines win. So I don't care of
10:22all the people I picked that was making the picks to do that. I'd pick you. Yeah, of course.
10:27Those are the picks. It's 97 one.
