Episode 48: SEASON 3 SPECIAL!
(upbeat music) - What's going on, guys? Welcome back to the Play Action Podcast. I'm Nate Noherin, of course I'm here with Vinny Jackson. Vinny, how are you doing? - I mean, I'm doing great. We got some NFL football tonight. It's been a while, and I mean, as you can see, got a little bit of a new setup. - Yeah, nice little studio. Thanks to the University of Pittsburgh. They got this cool place to run out. So we're gonna be producing some higher level content for you. - Hopefully, these mics sound better. We'll be weird trying to look at this camera, but should get the hang of it, hopefully, by a few weeks. - Yeah, and I mean, I'm so excited. NFL football is tonight, as we were recording. Sorry it's a bit late, still getting used to this new schedule, but very excited. I mean, Chiefs, Ravens? - Yeah, what a game to start on and then-- - That's about as good as you can get. After that, we got Aiden's Packers playing in Brazil. - Yeah, which, I feel like that'll be cool as long as no one gets hurt. I know there's a lot of stuff that people might get hurt, but I don't think so. - Yeah, we'll see. But I mean, yeah, preseason, I mean, off-season went pretty fast. I mean, do you have any thoughts you wanna just, I mean, there's a lot of trades early on. - Yeah, I mean, when it comes to preseason, it's so hard to tell, 'cause sometimes it can be useful, but then we saw Kenny Pickett last season where he had an amazing preseason and then sucked during the regular season. So I don't think anything of it. I know the Broncos with... What's his name was doing really good? Bo Nix, that's the name. They were doing really good this preseason, but I mean, just a lot has happened. I feel like this has been a pretty eventful off-season. A lot of big names left, their teams, and yeah, I'm really excited for this season. And also, obviously, fantasy football. We got our league started up. - Raining champion right here. - Yeah, so we're definitely gonna be, you know, trying to incorporate a lot of fantasy into these episodes. 'Cause that's a big thing for us. I'm sure you guys like it. So, I mean, just to give a little breakdown of the format, you know, probably gonna change week to week, but obviously, first episode, we got a good-- - A lot of predictions in this one. - Yeah, well, we'll change up every week, but, you know, we should, we'll start off a little bit of just like injury, update stuff before the first games, and then we can talk a little about fantasy, talk about some players, some booms, some busts, we're taking for the year, and then we can, you know, do the yearly, like NFL award predictions. Aidan can give some-- - Got some division predictions. - Division predictions, and then-- - And then I also have a little trivia for Vinny, so make sure to stay tuned for that to test his ball-- - Yeah, I don't know, I'm a little rusty. - It's not bad, it's not bad, don't worry. - All right, we'll see. And then, lastly, just some week one predictions. So, yeah, let's get right into it. All right, so starting off with some player news, and honestly, it didn't really put much down, just 'cause there's obviously like some bigger names that are just out, like we know Nick chubs out for a while, Hodgson's out for a while. And, you know, there's not much, there's a few questionable's going into week one, but most of them are playing. Like we know Herbert, he had something with his hand, I believe. Herbert is set to play, McCaffrey was the big one, obviously, first round pick in probably every fantasy draft, so he is set to be good to go. One that I did see, which he's on my team, is Markey's Brown was doubtful, so he will be sadly out tonight for the cheese switch. - Wow, I mean, I did want to see him. I feel like-- - See him on a new team. - Yeah, I do think he's gonna do so good there. They just love speed there. Any receiver that has speed, they'll pick up, and then it obviously works for them. But yeah, those are some pretty big names. I know even Tyreek was dealing with a little, you know, wrist injury should be good, and even players like Puka, I know, were dealing with the hamstring injury, I believe. - Mm-hmm, that's right. Yeah, a lot of questions, I think mostly, everyone's pretty good to go for the start of this season, which is good to hear. And then one thing I did, we saw last week, I did want to throw in here was, I don't know if you've probably heard about this, but one of the NFL rookies for the 49ers, Ricky Persol, I don't know exactly how you say his last name, but he, I think he was like signing autographs in San Francisco, and he actually got shot, just got shot in the chest too, but he is recovering, he's obviously gonna be out few, four weeks at least. - He'll pull like a little Brian Robinson, if you're a man. - Yeah, making the return. - Yeah. - But that's crazy. I mean, San Francisco has gone pretty downhill. - It is. - Yeah, it's, I mean. - They gotta go to football. - Yeah, at least they got that to look at the world. - That's really all you can say about that place. - But yeah, those are, I mean, really, like I said, not much player news to start, which is? - Hopefully there's not throughout the entire season. - Yeah, that's a good thing. So we can, yeah, we can move on from that. - All right. All right, and let's get into some fantasy predictions for this upcoming season. We don't got a ton for this, but me and Vinny each got a couple of booms and a couple of bus players that we think you should look out for, or pick up or trade for as long as you can get them, we think they'll be good. - Yeah, I mean, obviously you guys, probably everyone's hopefully done their fantasy drafts. Hopefully you didn't put it off too long. But yeah, just some booms. I can start with my first one that I'm pretty high on this year, who I did not sadly get is Garrett Wilson for the Jets. I mean, Aaron Rodgers, hopefully he can last more than like four plays this year without-- - Yeah, that was so sad. - Yeah, I'm really, I mean, Garrett Wilson, he was set to, I mean, even last year, he did good. - I remember, I drafted him. - Zach Wilson and whoever was Brett Fart, was not Brett Fart, I'm thinking too old. - I said him, I think was there. - I don't even know, but yeah, he still managed to do well. And he was going around, it looks like 12th, 13th pick. - Yeah. - And a lot of leagues this year. So if you can get him early, second round. - That's good value. - That is great value. - Yeah, I know last year I picked in, 'cause I thought that Aaron Rodgers' thing would be great for him, but I do know they have such a good connection with one another, just to base off what I've researched and found. So I think he's gonna be really, you see. - People are saying he could just be like how he was with Devontae Adams. - Oh yeah. - But speaking of Devontae, this, Devontae Adams, I threw him in the boom here, but I've seen so many mixed opinions on him this year. - I think he's 50/50. - Yeah, he's either, I mean, last year, he, I don't even know who he had even thrown to in much of the year. - In no problem. - Jimmy Garoppolo got hurt. But he would either go off, he would either go off for like 40 points or just get none. So he, I mean, he's going around like late second round, early third round, you can get him in the third. I think he can, he could be a League winner. - I think he's third round. If you can get Devontae in third round. - Yeah, if you're trying to wide receiver one. - He's still one of, and they don't have wide receivers. - Many weapons at all, I mean. - Now that Josh Jacobs gone, they got Jacob Myers. And I don't even know. - Maybe Hunter Renfero. - Mirror White at running back. - Yeah, no, I mean, yeah. So they, he's, he's 50, he's a risky player. But if you can get him late second round, early third, it is worth a shot. - Do you wanna, do you wanna give your receiver that low? - Yeah, so two of my guys that I have for Booms, one of them is Jameson Williams of the Lions. I think he's going to be great this year. He's moved up to number two in the depth chart. Sure, there is still a lot of competition. There's Laporta, you know, there's Gibbs, even Montgomery, a lot of players. But I think that he's going to be like really good at taking the top off the defense. He's gonna get a lot of chunk plays. I could see him getting at least 15 points a week. - Where, where, what, did you say what round? Do you know where he's going? - And some, he's going like later 10th round. 'Cause yeah, if you can get him that late, it's definitely good. I mean, they do have a lot of weapons, though. - Yeah, that is always a worry. - 'Cause people were worried about Sam Laporta this year. - But I mean, you see the 49ers. They got all those people, and that you still, almost outperforms them, though. - That's true. Which I, you, didn't he, did finally get-- - Yes, he did. - And the only one left is Chamache's, 'cause CD. - Oh yeah, CD Lam signed like 125 million or something like that, crazy. So he was, you know, people were, I mean, you passed up on CD Lam in our draft. - I did have the number two overall pick, and I picked Tyreek. - I mean, there's, yeah, he did. - Risky, but-- - You had him last year. - Yeah, he's my boy. - Yeah, not a bad pick at all. - But then my other boom is Packers own Josh Jacobs. I know it's like, oh, he's a Packers fan, of course he's gonna pick Josh Jacobs. - I think in this Matt LaFloor offense, Josh Jacobs is going to do wondrous things. I mean, you saw what he was doing behind that terrible O line with the Raiders. I don't see if there's a shot that he doesn't go off. - I mean, yeah, but I've also seen, I mean, he wasn't very efficient last year, I don't think. At least-- - But Matt also could be because of the O line. - That's true, he's definitely getting an upgrade on, on that-- - And the Raiders were always losing, so, you know-- - That's true, he definitely should do better this year, for sure. - I think so. - But I didn't get a chance to pick him up where I would have. But we can talk about some busts here. I'll go first with one that is-- - A lot of people have kind of been agreeing with this, and that's Tony Pollard. I mean, last year we saw him, he took a big role on the Cowboys. - Yeah. - I mean, I think I have it here. He had like a season high, career high, carries, receptions, and he just wasn't very, I mean, he still, he finished, I think, did he finish top 10? - I think he did. - I think he did, but for the amount of volume he was getting, he says he averaged like four yards per carry, he was horrible on the goal line, and he's, and obviously got traded to the Titans in replacement of Derrick Henry, and they have, Todd J. Spears, who had a great season last year behind Derrick Henry, so they-- - That's Johnson Hopkins. - That's true. - And Calvin Ridley. - Yeah, sign up from all the receivers too. And Spears, I mean, he kind of proved myself with that offense last year, so they're probably gonna trust him more. And like I said, Pollard being not as good at the goal line last year, we could see Spears going in. - Yeah, I could definitely see that. - I mean, Pollard, you know, still should be the, just still be the RB1, but I think the split'll be pretty, pretty drastic, whereas some people are picking Spears over Pollard and Derrick. - Yeah, I could definitely see that. - One of my busts I have is a wide receiver who is Stefan Diggs. - Ooh. - Now, that might be crazy 'cause he was very good last year when he got the ball, but I think he's gonna be buried in this depth chart and Houston, sure, they'll be throwing the ball a lot, but I don't know, I mean, CJ has shot, whenever you're a rookie, you build these connections with these guys, and then you wanna throw to him every single time. And he has this connection with Tankdell. He has this connection with, what was it? - Nico Collins. - Yeah, Nico Collins. - That's true. - Yeah, that's true. - I could see him not getting as many targets as he wants to, and maybe throw on a fit. - I mean, yeah, definitely compared to the bills. - Yeah. - Definitely not. - 'Cause he's no longer that number one guy. - Yeah, that'll be an interesting offense to watch. I'm definitely excited to see them. - Yeah, you got any more busts? - I mean, off the top of my head, no one that I drafted, my team, I guess they don't really know our teams, but-- - Yeah, I actually have someone on my bust list from your team. - I see, do you wanna explain that? - Yeah, I have Anthony Richardson as one of my busts. And my explanation is I haven't seen much from him. I need him to prove himself. And I could see, I mean, he's a very good runner, but does he have that arm? Or is he just, you know, one of those people that can't fully, you know, grow into the quarterback role? - That's true. I mean, obviously the season was cut short, so we didn't get to see as much. But I mean, from what he showed, I mean, obviously the rushing upside-- - Yeah, that's huge. - I forget. - I forget what the order of quarterbacks were like picked in our draft. - I think so. - But I-- - You picked him like sixth quarterback, I wanna say. - Yeah, like I think-- - Did you throw them? - I mean, for the rushing upside quarterbacks, he's young-- - I mean, rushing upside is huge. - As long as, I think it was a shoulder. As long as he doesn't have any re-injuries with that, I think that offense is, I think he can work well in that offense. - I definitely think there's a chance that he ends up as a top 10 quarterback. But I also wouldn't count it out for him to be like a bottom 20 quarterback. - Yeah, I'm also, I did draft Pittman. I think he-- - That stack could be deadly. - Yeah, I'm looking forward to, I think he'll have a nice season this year. - I think so too. But yeah, so that's all of our booms and busts. So, you know, let us know what you guys think and maybe trade for some of our booms that we were talking about. - Yeah, we'll see, you know, after week one, we could all be completely wrong. - Yeah, I mean, that's-- - There's a lot. - Fantasy is luck, let's be real. (upbeat music) - All right, let's get into now the NFL awards predictions. - Yes. - I mean, we can start off, you know, with the MVP odds which-- - Which, did we get any right last year? - Um, I wanna say I got defensive player that you're right with. - I don't think I got any right. - I was scared. I was scared it didn't win last year, right? - He definitely did. - Okay, then I think that's the only one I got right. Well, I mean, this year, you know, things can change. Hopefully, I mean, right now my home is sitting at the favorite, you know, as he kind of always is. And after that, Josh Allen, Burrow, Stroud, Hertz, you know, just like the, you know, top guys. And usually, I mean-- - What it's probably gonna come down to is just how the teams are performing. I mean, Josh Allen, turnovers last year, killed the whole team and him. The same with Hertz, and then Lamar just kind of played pretty good all season, and that ended up winning it for him. I was really surprised last year no position player has won. I really thought a position player was gonna win, but you know? - Yeah, I mean, if I have to pick one, I mean, I don't really want it to be my homes. - Yeah. - I'm thinking, I'm thinking Jalen Hertz has a chance. I mean, the Eagles are stacked again this year. I mean, they got Seguan now. - I mean, these are stacked. - So, I mean, if he's running that offense and, you know, just spreading the ball out, also the rush game's gonna be, the run game's gonna be pretty crazy with them too. If they're winning a lot of games this year, I can see it definitely being Hertz. - Yeah, I'm going to go with Joe Burrow, which is a bit of an unpopular opinion, but I feel like people have kind of just forgotten about him. I don't know why, he's so good. Like, I don't know, I feel like that's just someone we should never forget about. - That's true. - He's a very good quarterback. He has a lot of talent still. Sure, he did lose, you know, mixin', but I think it's Joe Burrow. I think he's gonna be great. - All right, let's talk about offensive player of the year. And this one, this one can be close. We got the favorites, McCaffrey, and Tyree Kill. After that, CD Lam, or Jefferson Chase, all the young, receiving guys. Breece Hall even thrown in there. - And that's who I'm gonna go with for this. - Breece Hall, that's an unpopular one. - I think he's gonna be great this year. He's so good. I watch so many Jets games. I know how he plays. I think with Aaron Rodgers and a very good offense, I think he's winning this award. - I mean, I hope you're right, because he wasn't my number one pick in fantasy. - Yes he was. - So, I mean, the Jets are just due for a comeback season. - Agreed. - Obviously, Rodgers is Breece Hall from the injury. You had him last year. - Yeah. - You had him last year. He did me great. He's the reason I won. He went off in the playoffs every single week. So, I'll forever be grateful for you, Breece. - Yeah, the Jets got some to prove this year, so I don't mind that one. However, I'm probably gonna go with CD Lamb. - All right. - Just because, I mean, my referee, if you can stay healthy, obviously, Tyree Kale, I mean, last season, he just did so well that they're just gonna be expecting a lot from him this season. I don't see him putting up as crazy of numbers this year, 'cause obviously, depends on how the Dolphins are doing, how two is doing. So, but CD Lamb just signed a huge contract. The Cowboys, we'll see how they do. They always kinda do well in the mediocre and choke. But I think CD Lamb will be, as long as Dak Prescott is getting the ball to him, I think he'll, he's gonna be fun to watch. Definitely excited for that. - Now for the defensive player of the year, I mean, top odds, we got TJ1, Michael Parsons, Max Crosby, Miles Garrett, you know, all the classic guys. And I do think I am gonna go with one of those. I think I'm gonna go with Max Crosby. He's been very underrated every year. - That's true. - In year and year out, he's doing such good things. And like, he's not getting the type of talk that Michael Parsons is getting and all those people. - Yeah, I mean, I know Max Crosby. - As a Raiders fan, I respect that opinion. He, I mean, I forget what stats he was that he was like really high up in last year, but like, a lot of pressures, a lot of pressures. And I mean, he's definitely getting doubled a lot now too. So. - I think he's got a chance. - I, mm-hmm. Yeah, you know what, throw me in there for that too. I want to see it, but obviously TJ1. Obviously we want to see him have a great season as well. And Miles Garrett, I mean, he won you last year. So he's always, I mean, he's got always doing well. So it really, it really just comes down to like, I don't know, individual stats that they want to, they want to focus on. - All right, and then now moving on to offensive rookie of the year. And I don't know a ton about the rookies. - I'm not going to pretend like I know all the scouting reports on everyone. - Yeah, I agree. - I mean, we can just talk about, obviously Caleb Williams, he is the favorite right now. Everyone's probably excited to see how he's going to perform. - I'm not sure if I'm excited. I kind of hope he best as a fan. - Yeah, the Bears. - I think he's going to be good. But I think my pick would be Jaden Daniels for the commanders. I think he, you know, his rushing ability is great. He's got a great arm. And I think he can turn around this, you know, he doesn't have as much talent as Caleb Williams does. So I think that would, you know, boost him up. So I'm going with Jaden Daniels. - Okay, I mean, I could definitely see that. I don't want to say Caleb Williams. I mean, Beau Nix, is he, is he like the starter for them? - I think he just got sent. - For the Broncos? - Yeah, I think he got put as the starter. - Honestly, you can, I'll say Beau Nix, just to spice things up. - He did have a good preseason. - Yeah, he had a good preseason. And I mean, the Demers, they're just so bad. They just need like, they just need to do like mediocre. If he can get them to there, plus we got there, Gervante Williams. He's coming back, he's on my fancy team. - They lost Jerry Judy, not that he didn't much. - Yeah, he was your bust last year. - He was so terrible. - But they still got some guys, they have coins, Sutton. - Yeah. - Greg Duluth. - Yeah, they got, they got a, what's his name? Tim Patrick. - Oh yeah, I remember him. - Yeah, so that offense is good. - And the defense, defense is good usually. - Yeah, so we'll see. - We'll see. - Until they let up, you know, 70 points by that. - Oh, dolphins last year. - I do remember that. Defensive Rookie of the Year, honestly, I don't really know any of these guys. - I don't know any of these guys. - So yeah, I don't really want to pretend like I do. I mean, if I had the guess, I would say Dallas Turner. I think he's from Alabama. I'm not fully sure on that, but-- - Yeah, I mean, all right, I'll just pick him too. But we can see. - Yeah, so next, last one actually, come back player of the year, which, I mean, Roger is Joe Burrow and Kirk Cousins all have a very strong case. - Yeah. - Who won it? Was it? - It was a-- - Is it Tamar Hamlin? - Oh, I don't remember what you kept talking about that. - I think Joe Flacco ended up winning. - Oh, that was a good, I mean-- - Rightfully so. - That was who we deserved. Or Genosmith was up there. He would have been a good pick. But yeah, these three guys, I mean-- - I mean, really, I honestly, I think best value is Kirk Cousins. - Best value is definitely Kirk Cousins. - And that's who I'm gonna go with. - Anthony Richardson plus 800, he-- - Yeah, he's, even Kyle Omari at plus 2000, I could see him being really good this year. So, I wouldn't count him out either. - Yeah, I mean, honestly, yeah, all these quarterbacks deserve, it just depends on who does the best this year, which for me, the best chance is gonna be Rogers. - Yeah, or Burrow. - And Burrow, yeah, so, I do think Kirk Cousins is a good value though. I'm gonna roll Anthony Richardson just couldn't see it on the fancy team. So, I am rooting for him. (upbeat music) - Now, let's go to my division predictions. We'll just run through these pretty quick, and you can just say what you think. Starting off NFC North, I got Lions one, not my Packers, I do have Lions. - Humble, humble. - Packers two, Bears three, Vikings four. I feel like that's a pretty consensus. - I mean, yeah, I could see Packers taking number one. - Bears, I mean, Vikings, you're just not high in them, I mean-- - Sam Darnell's their quarterback, I can't beat you. - Yeah, I kinda feel bad for Jefferson, for sure. But yeah, I mean, was that how it turned out last year? - I think so, actually, yeah. - Okay, yeah, I don't think much too much has changed in that division, for being honest. - And NFC East, I got Cowboys one, Eagles two, Commanders three, Giants four. - Interesting. - Another one, Cowboys Eagles, I feel like-- - Yeah, I mean, I'm assuming, I don't know their schedules, I mean, I'm assuming Eagles, I think, should finish above them. - Yeah, I could really see either. - And Commanders, I mean, a lot of people are pretty just low on the Commanders as a whole. - Yeah, I could see Gene Daniels helping them though. - Giants though, I mean, who do they really have right now? - League neighbors. - Who's their quarterback? - Still Daniel Jones. - Oh, that's true, they had no more say-quan. - I'm sorry, but you're-- - Not an exciting team to be a fan of if we're being honest. - Yeah, and then NFC South, Buccaneers first, Falcons second, Panthers third, Saints four. - Okay, I mean-- - I could also see Falcons being-- - Yeah, the one and two seemed to all be pretty interchangeable, I mean-- - Especially in the NFC, I feel like in the AFC, a lot more of them are-- - I mean, the Bucks did pretty well last season, but I mean, I'm pretty, the Falcons, I mean-- - They were decent ones out, Kirk Cousins. - Yeah, their run game has been great. Bijon's set to have a big year, and then hopefully, he'd drag runs on my team too, so hopefully he turns up, I think, and then, I mean, Panthers and Saints, they're really much-- - They're both bad. - I think Panthers will take a little leap this year, at least, compared to how bad they were last season. - Is Derek Carr still quarterback for the Saints? - And James Winston, James Winston might begin some rest. Regardless. - Yeah, they've just been downhill since Drew Brees, really. - But next up, NFC West, last NFC team, we got the 49ers won, Rams to Cardinals three Seahawks four. Pretty good division, but I can't-- - I mean, yeah. - I think this is how it should end up going. - Seahawks, Seahawks four is intriguing. - Their offense doesn't-- - I mean, weren't they second last year? - Yeah, but I don't know. I could see Cardinals taking a boost up. I think Rams are always gonna be good. I could see the Seahawks again. - I think everyone is gonna be near that 500 range in this division, but-- - Except the 49ers. - Yeah, 49ers with that one way up there. But I could see Seahawks falling off, maybe a little bit. - Yeah, I mean, Junior Smith. - Yeah, he's still playing. He's getting old though. - Yeah, he had a great season last year. I don't think he'll be able to repeat. - Yeah, so, and now moving on to the AFC, AFC North. - Oh, I just saw this one. - Yes, we got Ravens one, bangles two, Browns three, Steelers four. - I don't know, I don't know if I can support the Steelers being last. - I can't, I can't put them above any of these teams. If Deshawn Watson's playing good, they're not gonna be better than the Browns. - Really? - They're gonna be better than the Panthers. - The Steelers just own the Browns. And is Deshawn Watson really gonna be that good? - I just can't, I can't morally put the Steelers. I mean, maybe third, I would maybe change them for third, but I don't think they can retire on that. - Yeah, bangles are disappointing. But bangles will definitely be better. Ravens, I mean. - They're the Ravens. - Yeah, they have like Derek Henry, but I don't know. - People are, people might be overly high on the Ravens. - Their defense is just so good that I think that's what helps. - Yeah, and also Lamar, I don't think he's gonna have an MVP. - Yeah, I doubt it. - I mean, we just have a tough division. - We just have a tough division, for being honest. I mean, I guess the Steelers probably aren't a playoff team, but. - And then, speaking of tough divisions, another one other than the Patriots, the AFC East, I got Jets won, Dolphins two, Bills three, Patriots four. - Oh, I can't see Bills going high. - The Bills are due to, for a fall off. - I think so, I mean, I really like the Bills, so I hope not, but I could see it, but I definitely think, yeah, Jets. - Yeah, Jets I wanna see, I wanna see the Jets be won. They deserve it. - Yeah, Dolphins, I think they're good enough to be two, and then, yeah, Bills, Patriots obviously four, so it's really just gonna be how good do the Bills play, is mine. - I think, yeah, I mean, the Jets have the defense for it, and the Bills do. I don't know if the Dolphins have. - Their defense is pretty good. - I mean, last year they were letting up, last year all their games were just like shoot outs. They weren't. - That's why the Lions, I don't know. - Their defense can improve. - If the Lions can stop getting into shoot outs, I think they'll be such an elite team, but if your team is only winning in shoot outs, that does not hold well for the playoffs. - That's true. - But, next up, AFC South got Texans won, Colts two, Jags three, Titans four. I feel like that's fairly-- - I think that's solid. I mean-- - Maybe Jags-- - Jaguars, not many people are high on Trevor Lawrence this year, I don't tell you. - Yeah, I need to see something from him. I've only seen a decent quarterback. He's definitely a decent quarterback, but I haven't seen. - And Titans, I mean, is, what's his name? - The Nail Guy. - Yeah. - What is his name? - Wait, why, yeah, I don't know why we're not thinking of that. Oh, that is embarrassing. - Yeah, I'm totally-- - Okay, whatever. - He's set to be the starter. - Yeah, I think he is as well. - Oh. Oh my gosh. - I can't remember his name right now. - Okay. - I'm sure it'll come to me later in the episode. - And a few, yeah. Okay, but I think he's set to start. - Yeah, I think so as well. And then last up, we have the AFC West where Chiefs won, obviously. Chargers two, I'm sure I'll regret that. Bronco's three, and then Raiders four. - Okay, this one I have a little bit of issues with. - I could see Raiders. Honestly, I could see Raiders going up to second. - Yeah, the Chiefs are easily won. The Chargers, I don't think people, I mean, I'm not very high on them this year. I mean, Herbert. - Yeah, New Coach. - Yeah, New Coach, Herbert's been going downhill. I mean, weapon-wise, equity. - I mean, that's true. - Yeah, who do they have at running back now? - Not a lot, they, well, I can't fully say that because the trivia has to do with that later. - Oh, so, either way, I don't think, I think they're all an old team, not very much. And then Bronco's, I don't know, Bronco's could easily be-- - It's gonna be depending on Ben X. - Yeah, Bronco's could be last though. - So yeah, that's all my predictions, and now we'll go into some trivia. (upbeat music) - Oh, okay, I don't, I'm a little rusty. Like I said, I haven't been given into the football scene much since the off-season. - All right, well, this should be good, 'cause this is off-season trivia. This is-- - Oh, no. - Did they change teams? So I'm going to give you a player, and then you have to say if they have, and then if they have what team they went to, your goal is 10 and 14, I have 14 questions. Your goal is to have 10 of them, right? You don't have to get the teams, right? But, I mean, I feel like you should, I have to get the teams right, but-- - All right, and listeners, play a lot. - Yeah, you guys play a lot. - You guys are probably doing better than me. - All right, we're starting off with, you know, just, you know, a softball toss. We got Justin Fields. - Oh yeah, okay, he's on the Steelers. - Yes, Justin Fields is the Steelers. Next up, Joe Mixin, another easy one. - He did get traded, too. 'Cause, oh wait, it's getting away from me. I mean, he's obviously, he's on your fantasy team. - Yes. - We were just talking about this. - What team? - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Come on. - I know it. - So are we explosive offense? - It's a team that, is it a? - AFC. - AFC team, okay, wait, let me look at all these teams. Mm, I think it's the Texan. - Yes, Texan. - Yeah, so-- - Yikes, close call. - I got it. - That was supposed to be under a hand. - Two for two. - All right, next up, Brandon Cooks. - Oh, okay. - So he was on the-- - He's gonna get harder and harder to get. - He was on the Cowboys last year. - Yes. - And honestly, I haven't heard much. I think he stayed on the Cowboys. - He did stay on the Cowboys, three for three. - But he's kinda like-- - Yeah. - He's like old. - All right, next up, Brian Burns. - Brian Burns, I haven't heard that name in a while. I wouldn't-- - Your Panther's legend. - If he did, if he did get traded, I would have no idea to what teams I'm just gonna say now. - You're gonna say he didn't get traded? - Yeah. - He did. He went to the Giants. So not all these are trades also. They could also just be, they signed to a different team. - Oh, okay. All right, next up. All right, you know, three for-- - Three for four. - Three for four, not bad. - They said they're gonna get harder. They're gonna get harder as we keep going. - Mac Jones, I mean, they just got a new quarter. - Didn't they draft a quarterback? - He did draft a quarter, man. - Who did they draft it? - Drake, man. - Okay. Yeah, they draft a Drake, man. I'm trying to think of, but like, if he did get a team, I don't even know who would want him though as a question. I wanna say no. - He did, to the Jaguars. Yes. - Was that early on? - It was like, I think closer to the middle end. And yeah, so I was very surprised. I remember knowing he played good in the preseason, so that's-- - Are these ones, how did you compile this list? - I looked up players that, you know-- - Okay. - All right, next up. Ramandra Stevenson. - He-- - He's sitting at four or three for five. - Ramandra Stevenson obviously had a rough, like not a very good year last year on the Patriots. And I wanna say he did not. - Yes, that's correct. - He did not get, he did not move teams. Another running back. Jerick McKinnon. - Did he get teams? - Okay. So he was on the Chiefs. I know he was on the Chiefs last year, and he got, 'cause I mean I picked him up in fantasy for like a week or two. I mean, he's just kind of like, not really a player you hear much about. So I don't know where he would have went. - Trade teams. - Honestly, I feel like I want to say yes, 'cause I heard him in the news briefly. - So you're going yes? - Yeah. - No, he did not trade teams. He's still on the Chiefs. - Dude, these are just picking these random players. - Five for eight, JK Dobbins. - He's a no, he's still on the Ravens. - Wrong, he's on the Chargers. - That's the player I was hinting at earlier. - Oh my gosh. - Oh wow. Then he's sitting at, what is this, four for eight now? - I have five. - You have to go perfect. - Wait, I thought I had five. - You got Fields, Mixin'. - Cooks. - You got Cooks. You got Ramondre. That's four. - Oh. - You gotta go perfect. - Okay. - To get the goal. - Dude, okay. - All right, next up, T Higgins. - No. - Final answer? - Yes. - Yes, he did not. All right, I know he did not. - Nice bounce back. Michael Gallop. - Oh, okay, so I-- - Did he trade teams? - He was on the Cowboys I know last year. - Yes. - I mean, I don't know, I don't know. 'Cause I know, I mean, last year was, it was Lam, him, and then Cooks. - Yes. - But I feel like you'd throw in a yes here, but I mean, if I'm being honest, I haven't heard it. - Don't play the guest fight with him. - My knowledge is I don't remember hearing anything about him, so I would say he's on the Cowboys still. - Final answer? - Yeah. - No, he got traded to the Raiders. - He did? - Yes. - We were talking about the Raiders earlier, you didn't even mention him. - I couldn't give anything away. - I mean, it's not really giving it away. - I think he's still got four left. - I can get at least two of these. - You could get nine total. - All right, that's Braxton Barrios. - Okay, so obviously he's on the Dolphins. - Yes. - Did he get traded? I mean, I only ever really hear about him from Alex Earl, if I'm being honest. - Okay, so, so I feel like I would have heard something. I'm gonna say no. - Correct, he did not. - Okay, next up, Dawson Knox. Did he change teams? - Mm, I mean, I know just, I know they've just been, the Bills has been using Kincaid a lot. So I would be inclined to say yes, because he's not, he kind of fell off. So I would say yes, but to what team, I would have no idea. Maybe like, maybe like the Giants. I should get a half point if I get a, if I get a half. - Well, he did not trade teams, so. - That was like zero. - He gets zero points. All right, two more. Kaleas Campbell, a little bit of an old. - Mm, last time I remember him, he was on the Ravens, is he still, okay. I mean, the Ravens, like, wherever he ever went is the question, I don't know. Like, these are, these are the people that I just don't even like think about. I thought you were gonna say like, seedy lamb and like. - No, no, okay. - No, okay. - I don't know how they're challenging. - Kaleas Campbell. I'm gonna, okay, I don't know, so I'm gonna say no, because I wouldn't be able to tell you the team. - He did, to the Dolphins. - I don't remember hearing that. - I was gonna mention him earlier also, but, you know, I can't. - See, that's, you should be mentioning them. - All right. And last up, Lagerius Need. - Lagerius Need, okay. I kind of, what's, I don't even remember what team was he even on before. Okay, I mean, I'd never heard anything about him recently. - He was a big name player. - Yeah, but I guess I haven't heard him in the news. But again, most of the trades happened a while ago. I'm gonna say, no. - He did, to the Titans. - Dude, I feel like that was, what did I get? - That was terrible. I think you might've gotten five, six maybe. - See, that's how I know it's right, because from a, from a system standpoint, I should've got 50% there. - You just gotta have all knowledge. I intentionally chose Tricky once, to trick you. - Yeah, so that was definitely harder than I expected. - Yeah, so now we know if Vinny does not bowin' off. - I mean, I would say just off-season knowledge, you know? 'Cause you kinda see it on, like in the off-season, I'll like see it on Instagram and be like, oh, dang. And then I don't think about it for like three, four months until the actual, I actually see them play on it. - So I'm here for it to test your knowledge. - All right. - So now we'll move to-- - Next time I'm doing the trivia. - Okay, okay, fun, yeah. All right, we'll move to predictions now. (upbeat music) All right, here we go. Predictions for week one of the NFL season. Very excited, and we'll start off, we'll just run through these pretty quickly and give our predictions. So first off, Raven's at Chiefs, you know? That's two nights. - Yeah, so this is a big one. That's on everyone's minds. Chiefs are favorited by a little bit. - Not by my belief. Taylor Swift is gonna be at the game. - Oh, great. - If that, that is-- - And at Arrowhead, it's at Arrowhead game one. I'm gonna go with the Chiefs. - I'm going with the Chiefs as well. - Yeah, Raven's, they still probably gotta figure out the-- - Yeah. - Next one, I don't even have to give my prediction. Packers at versus Eagles in Brazil. - In Brazil? - Packers are coming out with that. - Packers, I don't know what the fans, who the fans are of, like who they support down there. - I have no idea. - But, I don't know, honestly for the sake of, 'cause I was saying something about the Eagles, I'm gonna say the Eagles. - All right. - 'Cause they are a very talented roster. - All right, not as good of a game. Panthers at Saints. - I mean, yeah, this one, no one's really gonna be watching, for being honest. I'm gonna say Panthers too. - I'm going, I'm going Panthers as well. - Not really high on the Saints. - Another bad game, Vikings at Giants. I got Giants in this one. - You got the Giants. I mean, you were just hating on them. - I know, but-- - But you also put the Vikings last too. - I don't trust the Vikings this year. - I think it isn't, it is home for the Giants. I'm gonna say Vikings. - All right. - Patriots at bangles. - I mean, yeah. - That was, it was this game, they're terrible. - Steelers at Falcons. - I think being a Atlanta is gonna get in the edge. - But I want, see, like, I wanna, I'm gonna say Steelers 'cause I want the Steelers. - Yeah, I mean-- - Russell Wilson. - I would like if they weren't. - Russell Wilson is getting started. - Yeah. - I mean, that's a new, we could be turning over a new leaf here. - We'll see. All right, Texans at Colts, Texans, I think they're gonna continue their hot streak. - I think this'll be a good game. I'm excited for the Colts this year for being honest. And Jonathan Taylor, he's-- - So you're going Colts? - Mm, I'm still gonna go Texans though. - All right. - But Colts, look out for them. - Cardinals at Bills, I have been trashing the Bills, but I do think they're gonna win this game. - Yeah, Cardinals that don't, there's not much to say. - Yeah, Titans Bears, I think Justin, or not Justin Fields, yeah. - Caleb Williams. - Yeah, Caleb Williams will get his first win. - All right, I mean, yeah, like I said, Titans, I'm not too high on, I mean, I'm not too high on either, but we'll have to see how both teams are really kind of new, like trying out different offenses. - Yeah, and then Jags at Dolphins, should be a decent game. Going Dolphins though. - Yeah, Dolphins, hopefully see offense should be churning again this year. - Broncos, Seahawks. - I mean, you were just trashing on both of these teams. - I'm gonna see Hawks though. I think they'll get it down. - Yeah, I'm gonna go see Hawks as well, all right? They got a lot to figure out in Denver. - Raiders at Chargers, so pretty much just a Raiders home game. I'm gonna go with the Chargers though. - I'm going with the Raiders. - All right, I don't hate that pick. - Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I don't know much about the Chargers this year. They always disappoint. - Yeah, they disappoint me every year. - Next up, Cowboys at Browns. I'm going Cowboys. I do like the Browns defense, but I'm going Cowboys. - Yeah, Cowboys, almost but then a lot. They usually start off pretty good too. - Yeah, agreed. - All right, commanders at Bucks. I'm going Bucks. Jane Daniels, I don't think it's a done. - Yeah, Bucks, I agree. Commanders, and they got like, what's their defense looking like? 'Cause they lost Chase Young, Montez Sled. - It's not looking great. - Yeah, and they're. - They're offense should be better though, so. - Yeah, not high on them. Rams at Lions. - I think Lions take that pretty easily, but yeah, the story line is cool. Stafford versus Gough. - Oh yeah. Lions, Lions, yeah. Excited for this year. I'm gonna go Lions as well. - All right, and then Monday Night Football. Oh, this is gonna be a good game. - Oh. - Jets at 49ers, and I'm going with Jets. - Oh, I'm going with the 49ers for sure. - Yeah, I mean. - It is home, it's home for them. They are probably the favorite. - I would assume. - I'm actually, yeah, I kind of want to see that game. I kind of want to see what the favorites like. - That's gonna be such a good game. It would be very cool to be at. I wouldn't be surprised if 49ers may be one and a half, minus. - Yeah, how do I check this? Let's see, let's look at the spread. I mean, they're just. - Yeah. - The Jets are supposed to be good, but we just haven't seen it yet. - Mm-hmm. Yeah, I need to see it to believe that. - Okay, it looks like the 49ers are minus six and a half. - Wow. - So. - That's good value for the Jets. - I don't know. I mean. - Maybe like an alt spread, Jets plus 10 and a half. - I don't see them. Yeah, I don't see them getting blown out. I think they lose by a touchdown at most. - Yeah. - So I'm going for an honors, but that'll be a good game to end it on. - Yeah, and you know, that's all we got for this week. You know, it's, you know, subscribe to us on YouTube. Now that we got this going. - Yeah, hopefully you guys are seeing this soon. The editing's well, getting everything set up. - Yeah, we'll try and get it up for Friday. Hopefully is this one that comes out. - Yeah, so this is, yeah, this one before the game. So we'll see what happens tonight. - But yeah, you know, thanks for coming back for season three. - Who would have thought? - Yeah, we got big things coming. Leave your comments below what you want to see, what you want us to incorporate. And we will, you know, we got a long season ahead. So. - Yeah, so it should be. - We will. - Get to it. - All right, peace guys. - Peace.
