00:00Can we talk MVP for a second?
00:02Okay, Joe Burrow.
00:04Joe Burrow went 24-29 yesterday in Madrid for 271 yards,
00:11four total touchdowns, 34-17 blowout of the Falcons,
00:15and Joe Burrow is now tied with Josh Allen at most books
00:19for the MVP favorite at the moment.
00:24It's Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Brock Purdy, Jordan Love, Trevor Lawrence.
00:29Now, I have a 22-1 ticket on Trevor Lawrence to win the MVP,
00:33so I am biased here on this as to where the Jags are.
00:38But Burrow is just the fifth player in the history of the league
00:41with at least four total touchdowns in four straight games,
00:46joining Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Dan Marino.
00:51There is a lot of love for the Bengals right now, and I can't hate on it.
00:57I mean, I think you have to look at the way the Bengals are playing
01:00and how they're playing is unbelievable.
01:03I mean, the receivers, this is the dream, right?
01:07When you have T. Higgins and Jamar Chase healthy and Joe Burrow healthy
01:13and the offensive line protecting Joe Burrow and giving him time
01:17to find his receivers down the field, I know it's only November,
01:22but if we see this in January, I think Joe Burrow and the Bengals
01:27are 100% part of the conversation about who comes out of the AFC.
01:33They're in a tough division.
01:35How real are the Steelers?
01:37That's a big question mark.
01:38We're going to find out.
01:39That defense looks for real.
01:41Jalen Warren is for real.
01:42Can Aaron Rodgers hold up?
01:44We'll see.
01:45But so far, so good with Mike McCarthy's return to the NFL in Pittsburgh.
01:49A very good start.
01:51The Ravens are done like we know, but the Browns, I mean, we'll see
01:54when Deshaun Watson comes back, but they went for the win yesterday
01:57against the Saints.
01:58They went for two, but Shador played pretty well.
02:01I mean, if I'm a team looking for a backup quarterback or a starting quarterback,
02:06I'm probably calling the Browns and being like, hey, would you consider
02:08moving Shador?
02:09So he played well.
02:12So I am I'm high on the Bengals, but it's Zach Taylor.
02:18I can't be high too high on the Bengals because it's their quarterback by a guy
02:22who I can't stand being head coach in the NFL.
02:24And then the defense is always a problem, although they did try to address it.
02:29They added more players, Trey Henderson and company.
02:32They've tried to bring in or sorry, Dexter Lawrence.
02:34Sorry, no, Trey has got is gone with the Ravens.
02:36Um, but Dexter Lawrence, they tried to change the defensive line and tried to make
02:41some adjustments.
02:42It hasn't totally worked, but the defense played pretty well against Michael Penix
02:46and company yesterday against Bijan and company.
02:49So they're part of the conversation.
02:53I don't know.
02:5413 to one on the Bengals to win the Super Bowl.
02:57I just look Sam Darnold won a ring.
03:00I, you know, of all the improbable things to happen in the NFL, Sam Darnold being a
03:06Super Bowl champion is one of them.
03:08Zach Taylor being a Super Bowl champion would go, it would fall to me in that same category
03:13of what, huh?
03:17Huh?
03:17Wait, what?
03:19Zach Taylor won a Super Bowl.
03:21Joe Burrow winning a Super Bowl.
03:22Fine.
03:22But it's like, he's doing it because, you know, in spite of his head coach, not because of
03:26his head coach.
03:28It could happen.
03:30Yes.
03:30I don't hate the play.
03:31I think there's better value on the board.
03:33There's better bets to make on the board, but I can see it.
03:36I mean, it's an offensive game with three of the best offensive players in the game.
03:42And if they are healthy, they're dangerous.
03:45Like just every week, dangerous.
03:49And what I think Monday night next week is Steelers Bengals, right?
03:56For next week.
04:01Maybe I'm wrong about that.
04:02I thought that was next week for Monday night for.
04:07Cause no, it's, oh no, it's Sunday night.
04:11Pittsburgh, Cincinnati is Sunday night football.
04:13I thought it was, I thought it was a primetime game, not Monday night.
04:15Sunday night is Pittsburgh at Cincinnati next week.
04:18Hell of a game.
04:18There's some good games next week.
04:20I mean, the Patriots play the lions early in Germany, in Munich.
04:25Houston's at Cleveland next week, which is a good game.
04:28Jacksonville's at Tennessee, which could be kind of a trap spot for the Jags.
04:35The 49ers play at Dallas Pittsburgh plays at Cincinnati.
04:39So there's a couple of good, the Thursday and Monday games are garbage.
04:43Washington at New York is trash and the chargers at the Ravens is disgusting.
