01:34you did anybody else pick usc no nobody did i'm sorry i'm looking at i'm looking at mike's picks
01:39i jumped ahead i'm sorry i'm sorry i don't care if it's a freshman quarterback and a 10th grade
01:46quarterback usc is one of the softest teams i've seen in college football this year give me ohio state
01:49i apologize i jumped ahead mike is picking usc let's go to game two horses uh wisconsin number
01:5825 team in the nation going to iowa iowa is the two and a half point favorite rico yeah this
02:05is one
02:06where in honor of mike he would always say you know what to do um wisconsin's ranked wisconsin's hot
02:13but for some reason iowa is favored so i'm going to say go hawkeyes yeah look wisconsin's coming off
02:21the big win over usc you have a hard time getting up chew it and do it two weeks in
02:25a row uh iowa at
02:27home is a different outfit different animal give me iowa at home paul i will also take iowa at home
02:33they've won four straight in the series it's gonna be five now yeah it doesn't make sense rico but
02:37you're right you just have to go with it so i'm going with iowa tj what you got uh is
02:41two and a
02:41half the over under i don't know how either these teams score this might be a zero zero tie going
02:47in overtime i gotta take wisconsin i think they're just playing better defensively i don't see how
02:52iowa scores any points this screams to me like a 17 to 10 type of game i'm taking the badgers
03:05that is mike's selection let's go to game three arizona the number 22 team of the nation going to
03:11number 13 texas tech tech three and a half point favorite rico yeah they're ranked 13th but i don't
03:18know if tech is that good give me give me the wildcats and the points yeah this is one of
03:24those
03:24games where the home team you always hedge towards texas tech got blown out on the road at cincinnati
03:29but different team at home both teams six and one give me the raiders i'm gonna agree with mark give
03:35me the uh red raiders yeah i'm also gonna go with the red raiders doesn't make sense but whatever tj
03:40yeah it doesn't i don't know why i hate taking three straight road teams but i gotta take arizona
03:45i think they're passing attack and really put a lot of pressure on that texas tech defense so
03:49i don't know if they win but give me that plus three and a half
03:53that means mike is selecting arizona remember that is racini land out there in arizona let's go to the
03:59next game florida versus georgia this is a neutral site game used to be the greatest outdoor cocktail
04:05party but this year it's indoors georgia eleven and a half point favorite in atlanta as an alum be
04:11very careful guys our relationship hangs in the balance florida alum here uh i think you got a
04:17an angry georgia team oh boy i think they want some revenge they were off last week right so they
04:25had to sit and stew in this give me go dogs
04:32mark uh florida was off on the bye week i get eleven and a half points right i get eleven
04:37and a
04:38half points and the gators rivalry game oh this is florida this is florida six days a week and twice
04:44on sunday paul go ahead i can't believe i'm going to say this because i hate the gators and everything
04:50they stand for but i'm going to take the gators and the points that's right paul you have seen the
04:54like you're crazy man georgia all day in this one tj that's a lot of points for a top 20
05:00matchup but
05:02but it's it's it's that way for a reason i gotta take the bulldogs i'm sorry mark gotta take gotta
05:06take georgia go dogs mike is going with georgia let's go over to i mean i guess we have to
05:16michigan
05:16visiting ruckers michigan 15 and a half point favorites rico yeah from what i read ruckers minus their
05:23starting quarterback minus uh one of their best defenders the wide receiver like they they're a
05:30mass unit michigan's defense is really good this thing could be over fast michigan and tommy carr
05:39is going to look like he is going to win the october heisman yeah you got an angry michigan team
05:45especially after last week michigan covers this one yeah with all rutgers injuries they're not very
05:50good to begin with and all the injuries are happening to them yeah michigan covers easy
05:53yeah michigan is awful offensively they show no life but ruckers is worse so i have to go michigan
06:01here tj yeah clean sweep i think we're all taking michigan you can't blow this team out fire everybody
06:09mike is going with michigan let's go to the national football league
06:16and let's start here with the greatest matchup in nfl history everyone will be watching this game
06:22at one o'clock browns at steelers steelers are three and a half point favorites and by everyone
06:27you mean you battle of the afc north rico you know what david i was trying to find the drop
06:34but i i
06:34couldn't find it we might lose to the browns i think you lose to the browns give me cleveland mark
06:43uh look who had these two teams first and second place in the afc north with the bangles and the
06:47ravens in that division but i look cleveland's got to be exposed at some point right i think it's going
06:52to be in this game uh i got to give up three and a half points which i don't like
06:55but steelers by
06:56double digits what you got paul yeah i this game is a disaster i don't like either of these teams
07:02david loves the browns this is going to be a terrible game to watch but i think the steelers are
07:06going to win and they're going to cover did you just say i love the browns no no no no
07:09no no no i love
07:10the steelers the steelers all day in this one let's go division matchup weird things happen
07:16look cleveland's defense been playing well even after the trade of miles garrett i think they're
07:21good enough to keep this within that three and a half i don't know if they win but i'm taking
07:25cleveland uh mike is going with the steelers let's jump over here to an afc west matchup the chiefs one
07:32and a half point favorites in this one going on the road to the broncos let's go rico what you
07:36got
07:37i think the chiefs bounce back from that first loss they're angry give me the chiefs and canine
07:43uh look the seahawks provided the blueprint on what to do against kansas city uh and the broncos are
07:49not and meanwhile the broncos have allowed 15 points a game their last three give me denver
07:54i'm going to take the uh chiefs to win and to cover uh bonix stinks like he's an active problem
08:00for
08:00their offense give me give me the chiefs that's an easy one i agree with paul bonix is awful chiefs
08:06yeah same taking kansas city uh mike is going with the chiefs as well ravens at the bills bills
08:12three point favorites rico lamar coming back um i think that's going to be the difference maker
08:19give me uh the ravens and the points mark uh you gotta be kidding me rico bills at home only
08:26giving
08:26up three points best offense in the league buffalo why is that uh yeah i'm gonna i agree with rico
08:32give
08:33me the ravens lamar is coming back people don't realize how bad the bills defense is it's very bad
08:37for as good as their offense is their defense is terrible i'm gonna go with the ravens in this one
08:42because lamar is coming back tj i don't think it matters if lamar's coming back i think josh allen's
08:51just a unicorn he's gonna find ways to make plays especially against teams like this where he knows
08:54it's a one-on-one matchup not not in the back of your head you know everybody's gonna be judging
08:59you
08:59how you play against lamar jackson i'm taking i'm taking josh allen give me the bills mike is going
09:05with the ravens let's head over to a great monday night matchup this week bears on the road against
09:10the seahawks seahawks are the three-point favorite at home rico they are the three-point favorite at
09:16home this this may be one of the best games of a long time all season long i'm going with
09:22the bears
09:22and the points bears are my pick to win the nfc right now i'm going chicago paul man it is
09:32tough
09:33i'm going to take the seahawks i think they're d i think they have the best defense in the nfl
09:37talent
09:38wise i think it started to play like it last week i think they continue that i think sam donald
09:43gets more comfortable they get their run game going they got quentin nelson give me the seahawks at home
09:47yeah both teams are really really good and i give the advantage to the home
09:51team only because they're at home so seahawks tj yeah i'm with you david i think that uh they
09:56made patrick mahomes in that kansas city offense look silly last week uh at home in seattle it's
10:01such a tough place to play and i know the bears went and got jeffrey simmons seattle also got
10:06quentin nelson and those guys have been division rivals for a long time and they know how to handle
10:11each other i'm going to get the edge to the seahawks in this one uh mike is going with the
10:15bear
10:16and finally huge game one o'clock here in detroit vikings at lions lions right now
10:21three point favorites what you got rico top offense versus top defense and normally the defense wins
10:31oh no oh no uh lions averaging 31 vikings giving up 12 if it was three and a half i'm
10:39going minnesota
10:40it's going to be that tight give me the lions minus three at home that's right paul what you got
10:47man it is i agree with rico usually defense wins but the vikings offense is so bad give me the
10:53lines
10:53yeah that bike that vikings offense is putrid so i'm going to go do not play that drop i am
11:01going
11:01lions tj i don't know if this has ever happened before we all have one tie on the on the
11:08record books
11:09can i take the push the lions to win exactly by three do i get two extra points if i
11:15do that's
11:15the push i think it's i literally think it's going to be a three-point game okay if you if
11:21that
11:21happens yes if it's a three-point game can we all agree if i take the push now if it's
11:27either way
11:28if it's not a three-point game i'll take the you take the i'm going to take the lions winning
11:31by
