All right, let's get to the fact then that the commanders for the first time all season today at least in one place. I haven't looked at all the books, but I got an email from Bet Online. And Washington has been installed, Danny, as the favorites to win the NFC East at that sports book today for the first time this season. If you look at the numbers, it's not by a lot. They're plus 125, a little better than even money. But you are getting what you put down and then some. I believe the Eagles were second. I'd have to pull it up at right around plus 150. So right behind Washington, and then there's a little gap between the Cowboys and then a big gap between the Giants. But first time, Danny, all season that the odds makers are saying, Washington is going to win the NFC East. And it comes after a loss to Baltimore tells you a lot about what they thought about what they saw in Charm City from the commander. Yeah. Each week, each repeat thing you turn in is becomes more validating the larger sample that you get. In other words, do we know now there are plenty good enough to beat up on bad teams? Yeah. That's some pretty good data that says that. Can they compete with some of the really good ones? Yeah. After Tampa Bay, it's hard to, you know, it was hard to say that, right? Cause they, they got throttled by, by Tampa. Now that's week one, weird stuff happened to week one for a lot of teams, not just them. So I don't want to say you throw it out, but I think you count if you're weighing the sample, that one weighs a lot less than say the last three weeks to me. But just, and I think maybe it seems they've, they've, they view it the same. Right now they're top 10 in almost every power rankings you're going to find. Right now they look better than their competitors in the division. You got Jerry Jones on radio and Dallas threatened to get hosts fired because they asked him, Hey, what happened this off season in Philadelphia? Nick Sariani shaved his head like he's the Britney Spears, mid meltdown and he screamed in advance and he brings his kids to the presser. So no one asks some questions. That's who they're competing against. Things are spelling a little rosy here in Washington right now. We're not used to that. I would take this situation over the other situations and you don't even have to think twice about it. Like anybody would disagree with that. I do think this is a nice chance though to open up the phones for the first time today to take the temperature of our listening audience at 1-800-636-1067. That's 800-636-1067 with this question. Do you agree that right now the commander should be considered the favorites to win the NFC East? I am going to say yes, I have felt this way for a couple of weeks. That's not to pretend like I expected any of this. I didn't. But after the way they played the Bengals and then beating the Cardinals, how they did, it became fairly apparent. This is a really good offense that this quarterback is different and unique and special. And I just thought the division wasn't very good. So you could really start talking about not that they might or could win the division, but that they probably have a really good chance to and maybe even use the wood should. Now a couple of weeks more Intel later with the Cowboys getting embarrassed by the Lions and the Eagles who just can't seem to get out of their own way. You beat the Browns by four off of a buy with Watson laying another egg in a game where Cleveland only scored a touchdown via special teams on a block kick. And you couldn't run away from them and hide. You couldn't put the game away. There's just something not quite right there. It smelled bad. It's like you get in the car and you're like, what are we leaving the car? Something's not right in this car right now. That's what the Eagles entire building has been smelling like since week 10 last year, basically. I can't put any faith in them. Yeah. I do believe Washington should be considered the favorites in the NFC East because they have the quarterback playing best. Right now, this moment, they are the best of those teams. They have the best resume. I guess is what I should say through six weeks of football. And on top of all of that, Danny, their schedule is pretty good moving forward. It's not a terrible schedule. They've got the Panthers this weekend. The Bears after that, then the Giants, then the Steelers who don't even know who they're starting quarterback is right now. Maybe the most beatable four and two team in recent history. They play the Eagles. We're supposed to be worried about that. That's their next kind of quote unquote difficult game against a really good team. The Cowboys, they play them twice, Philly twice again, we're saying that they're not scary. The Titans are bad. The Saints might blow out their coach. I don't know who's good that's left on their schedule. The best teams left on their schedule, in my opinion, are a Bears team that's beaten no one, a Falcons team that is just okay. They don't play the Chiefs. They don't. They just played the Ravens. You don't see those teams on their schedule. So before this week, okay, before Sunday at one o'clock, I said the Eagles are still the most likely team to win the division. One, because I said, okay, once this once Brown comes back, when Smith comes back, when Johnston comes back, you know, it'll take him a second to kind of get, you know, uncomfortable with Kellen Moore and they'll have enough time. They'll do some self-scaddening around the Biowake, they'll hit the ground running. They're going to win the following set of games and we're going to look up and have a great record. Cleveland Giants, Bengals, Jaguars, that's what they had coming out of the break, okay, coming out of their Biowake, right? So they'll be six and two and even if they're not that good, that's tough to overcome. So they're going to have a great chance to have a really, really good record. Now that I saw them against Cleveland, I'm going, I don't care who they play. They're middling. Maybe they'll get better. But maybe it's, you know, something all kind of coalesced, they'll get nuts against the world mentality and, you know, they'll start beating people again. I'm telling you, they are unimpressive and I've kind of, you know, I don't say given up hopes. I love them losing and I hope all their fans are miserable forever. But I just sort of thought there's enough track record here. I know they swooned last year, but there's still a 10 in one team from a year ago. There's still a team that had a great chance to win the Super Bowl with that same core, the same coach. We're just, we're just abandoning them way too early. I'm off. I'm on a ship. It just didn't look right. It still doesn't look right for them. For whatever reason, they can't, their best win was that flooky week one win against Green Bay. Since then, it's been, eh.
