All right, so the Texans, this is a situation. The Texans are 3.00 underdogs in Tennessee. As we talked about in the open, that would seem to be a line that would indicate that your quarterback, your starting quarterback, is not playing in that game. The Titans are one of the worst five or six teams in football. As bad as the Texans had played recently, and by recently I mean on Christmas, as bad as they played offensively all season long, they should not be an underdog to the Tennessee Titans on any field anywhere, including what will probably be a hapless, lifeless Nashville on Sunday. So there's that. Here's where they're at, Seth, with the playoffs and the standings. They cannot change their lot in life. They are now the four seed that that losing to the Ravens cemented that. They are the four seed in the postseason. There is a 75% chance. This sounds a little high to me, by the way, a 75% chance that they face the Steelers in the opening round of the playoffs. And the reason I say that sounds high to me, the Steelers play the Bengals in week 18. The Bengals are one of the hottest teams in football right now. If the Steelers lose and the Chargers beat, I believe they play the Raiders. They do. They play the Raiders, which feels like an incentivized Chargers team. As hard as the Raiders have been playing under Antonio, but they're bad, but they've been playing hard under Antonio Pierce. That doesn't sound like something that has a 25% chance of happening. Like the Steelers losing and the Chargers winning. The Chargers play a bad team. The Steelers play what I think is a good team, but the Bengals are a good team right now. They've won four in a row and they are scoring points out the wazoo. That said, the computers are saying it's 75%. I would say it's the favorite, but 75% sounds a little bit high to me. Right. So let's just say it's a toss up between those two teams. Chargers Steelers. It's going to be one of those. I do. There's a part of me that if you want to make it as simple as the quarterbacks and his style of play and everything else goes with that. Russell Wilson's just still got too many blemishes in his game. And that overall, even though they've done some good things offensively, I don't think it's anything that they can they can bank on. The fear would be all right, but Russell Wilson, the George Pickens, they've unleashed some bombs versus some good defenses in the Texans. Defense will generally play really, really well, except for the plays where they play atrociously. And I could totally envision George Pickens having two long touchdowns against the Texans, but on the sum total of it, I just respect Justin Herbert Moore as a quarterback. And you know, both those, the Chargers defense is good, but the Steelers defense is the Steelers defense. That's the only thing that that swings me back over towards the Pittsburgh. Well, I think a big, for me, a big thing with Pittsburgh is the games at NRG Stadium. If they play the Chargers, it'll be a home field advantage. If they play the Steelers, it's going to be half the crowd's going to be Steelers fans. Yeah, good call, good call. And I'm with you like in the grand scheme of things, I think I'd rather play Pittsburgh and Russell Wilson, especially I'm probably a little traumatized after watching from beginning to end the Chargers and the Patriots, because it was our good friend Ross Tucker doing the color commentary on that game, watch the entire game, the Chargers just steamroll a bad Patriots team. So I'm like, oh, this doesn't look like a team. I'd want to play in the first round of the playoffs right now. I'm the, if I'm the Houston Texans. That's the only thing that's keeping me a little bit tentative about the Steelers is just what it's going to be the complete opposite of what the wildcard round game was last year against the Browns, where it was, it was one of those environments for Texan fans, where you were like, wow, they're back. This feels like 2011 all over again. What is the percentage chance that it's the Ravens? It's like five percent. It's like five percent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, we need that. I need that. I need that ticket to come in. I just, I don't, if it's the Ravens, I cannot handle the week leading up to that game and the amount of the amount of pessimism and or just flat out apathy we're going to get from our listeners or just the appropriate and justified doom and gloom that it would be if it was going to be the Ravens. Yeah, yeah, we're already in a pretty like strange place. It's a pretty gloomy and gloomy place. Yeah, yeah, it's already, regardless of who the opponent is, like this offense has people very angry right now. I don't know if Stefan Diggs is angry or if he's just having fun, but if you missed it, Stefan Diggs, when we played some audio last week, Stefan Diggs is occupying his time these days, doing two things, rehabbing his knee injury and doing dominoes commercials, you know, commercials for the emergency pizza that dominoes likes to provide. He's providing, what is it, a million emergency pizzas or something like that to people over the course of the of the holiday football season here. This was a commercial dominoes did yesterday. Listen to the very end where the dominoes delivery lady brings up seemingly the Texans offense. When you order dominoes online, we'll give you a free pizza to use in the future. Now it's the seasons. So you'll have an emergency pizza when you need it most. But Jordan, it sounds like the opening segment is playing underneath that audio. When you order dominoes online, we'll give you a free pizza to use in the future. Now for the seasons, Stefan Diggs will have to watch this one from home. So you'll have an emergency pizza when you need it most. You just realized your business needed to hire someone yesterday. How can you find amazing candidates fast? Easy, just use Indeed.

Tell me about it. It only took until the second to last day of the year, while yesterday was the third to last day of the year. For Stefan Diggs to say something, this time on traditional media, not social media, that might be considered divisive. If this is a team where people actually were even checked in emotionally right now, they would be, I rate about this. I, yeah, that's messed up. That's messed up. It was a good moustache yesterday. I'm like, oh, and I saw that commercial. I'm like, oh, what's X saying about this right now? And there were a few people there. Like, hey, hey, here's the thing that Stefan Diggs was not getting a lot of, Seth. Pushback on his opinion in his take about the second, about the test's offense. I'd love to argue with you, but yeah, it's kind of, you know, especially with Tank Delgon. My big impression after watching the offense, you know, rewatching that game, which was a miserable experience, was, man, there's just not a lot of speed out there. There's, everything is plotting and slow and gunky, and it showed me nice to have tank. Cause it's Tank Delon, Stefan Diggs, whether they were producing or not, like at a high, high level, it was, it was a problem for defenses. There's a lot of speed to be accounted for when those guys were out on the field. Well, you know, who was producing at a super, super high level with the two of them out there? Nico Collins, you know, Nico Collins and, and Nico still, you know, he's still, you know, three catches, 60 yards, 74 yards. He's got, he's, but since coming back, he's had one 100 yard game. Well, and there's just, it's, there've been too many drops by Nico. It's not like he all of a sudden has horrible, horrible hands or anything, but there are some big strikes that he's had opportunities to make in the last couple of weeks that he didn't make. So it just, yeah, everything, everything feels like you're running on fumes right now. And yes, they could use, they could use Stefan Diggs's speed out there. I could do without his shots at how bad they look without him. Dang it. I was surprised by that. We're not watching that commercial. I'm like, did he just, did he basically just say, yeah, they sure do miss me. You know, you know, these shoots go, they probably, you know, they probably had him read off 20 different lines. And that was the one that they liked and it worked. I mean, he would, I don't know, man. Was he paying attention all the lines he was reading? Like literally he just said, tell me about it. He doesn't, he's got this reputation as a diva. And he doesn't want to be a diva. So he's like, I'm not going to sit here on the commercial set and say no director. I will not read that line. Well, that's true. He didn't want to be a commercial diva. So he ends up being a diva to his old team by pointing out how miserable it is without him. Does this affect at all your desire to have Stefan Diggs back as a Houston Texan next year? No, no, I'm not worried about it either. I can beggars can't be chooser. They probably will not. It looks like they won't have tanked down next year. You know what I mean? Like you got to get guys. You need at least one other guy, a defense respects. And actually, that applies to this game against Tennessee in the postseason as well. They needed it to your point. They need another guy out there. The defense has to respect that ain't John Metche. That ain't Xavier Hutchinson. It ain't Robert Woods. It ain't Jared Lane. It's Deontay Johnson. Yeah, not Jared Wayne unless you want to have another tank del situation. You know, Kylie Wong at a similarly horrific knee injury. And you know, Kylie was a linebacker, wasn't, you know, nearly nobody's as fast as tank del. But I remember he came back, he got injured midway through the 2005 season. Okay. And it was ugly. It was really bad. I think he tore all his, all his ligaments, the ACL, MCL, PCL. But he came back and played the next season. And it had a hard time with it. You know, that was the Mikos rookie year. And I remember, I remember sitting in the training room with Kylie, who was just putting on a heroic effort to be out there playing. And, and I just relayed to him what Brandy had said while she was watching, which was that Demiko makes all the plays that Kylie used to make. And I was saying it more as, I was saying it more as a compliment to Demiko. And Kylie was just like, thanks, Seth. Thanks. Like Kylie was there about to make the play. And then all of a sudden out of nowhere, Demiko comes flying in. And that was just kind of how it went for. And that was Kylie's last year was 2006. He played 10 games, didn't start in any games, played in 10 games. And that was it. So that, well, that doesn't make me feel good about 10. Well, it's 20 years later. You know, I just, I got to just hope and think it's funny. I had, I had multiple ACL tears in my career, or at least multiple ACL surgeries. I had a botched revision I had to do. And I used to think of myself kind of as an expert on ACL repairs. And then I realized I'm having a conversation with a doctor last year like, oh, I don't know squat about how they do things these days. Yeah, he was explaining how they probably would do it differently this day and age and where maybe I would have recovered better, whatever. So yeah, just, I would hope that especially with a lot of the, you know, the growth factors and everything they use now, maybe, maybe it's way more realistic than it was back in the day. I hope so, man. I hope so. I feel horrible. I feel horrible for tank. Do you think that Deontay Johnson gets a normal wide receivers amount of snaps in this game? That's the, that's a million dollar question in terms of, hey, if you're gambling on this game. All right, if Davis Mill starts and you've still got, I don't know why they would rest any of the offensive linemen. I'm curious to see where those guys went on vacation, by the way. But on this little mini bi-week. Yeah, yeah. So there's that. But we'll, yeah, I'd like Deontay Johnson to get his ingrained in the offense as possible. So he doesn't need any rest. He got a good chunk of rest up there in Baltimore. It's the best thing all year. Yeah. So I'll just say let's go find that magical Davis Mills Deontay Johnson connection if CJ is not going to play. It's going to lead us to the promised land. The Davis Mills Deontay Johnson connection. Thumbtack presents the ins and outs of caring for your home.
