Josh DeMage: Welcome back Triple Alpha Sports Talk. I'm Josh. It's Bryce right there. There's no Roy. He chickened out this week. He didn't have it. must have had a bad week of the game. So I guess we're What's that? Nah, Brice: Yeah, he just doesn't have that killer drive. He just doesn't have that killer drive. Josh DeMage: I know. jump right into NFL. We're gonna kick it off. We're in episode one fifty seven. Thursday night was Jaguars at Ravens. Jaguars get out of Baltimore. Thirty-three to ten Ravens quarterback situation. All all types of bad. Jaguars win. Then in where was this game played again? Madrid. Madrid, yeah. ther oop knocked Brice: Spain. Which is Spain? Josh DeMage: out of it. Thirty-four to 17 Bengals defeat the Falcons. then to Sunday, the Noon Slate Saints in overtime at home beat the Browns, Bryce's favorite team. 23-22 in a start where it was Sador Sanders. Chiefs take care of the Jets at home 35-12. Broncos win in Carolina 26-21. Cowboys go to Indy and survive. Honestly, they honestly did a comeback, being honest. 27-23. Giants come back to beat the Eagles 19-11. Rams take care of the Commanders in Washington 20-13. Lions win in Miami 19-9. Texans go and beat the winless Chargers 0-9 for the Chargers. 44-22 Texans. Seahawks dominate the Cardinals defensively. 17-3. Niners beat the Raiders at home 38-17. Packers put up all types of points on the Patriots. 45-27 in Foxboro, excuse me. Bears win a tight. one at home on Sunday night, twenty-seven twenty-four, and then the Bills beat the Vikings. quarterback play was horrendous. twenty-three to six for the Vikings. Talk about this week before we talk about anything else. Bryce, you got anything to say about this week? Any games, anything? Brice: the Bears game obviously wasn't good, but there was good things about it. I mean, it was really just an unlucky night on offense. I mean, know Caleb had four picks the first one. Roman Dunze drops a touchdown, we get a penalty back up, then he forces a throw. That type of shit happens. Josh DeMage: Yeah. Brice: Then you have two picks in a row that were both throwaways that just didn't get out of bounds. one was a toe tap, ten feet in the air, the other one just didn't make it there because he got hit. that shit happened. And then he had one that was tipped up in the air. Things Josh DeMage: Yeah. Brice: happen. But the Jeffrey Simmons Josh DeMage: Football. Brice: trade has clearly paid off because our defense just Josh DeMage: Yeah. Brice: won us a game on prime time, three weeks ago. We'd probably lose that game if our offense is playing like that, so Josh DeMage: Yeah. Yeah. I'm not gonna talk about any trades when I'm talking about these games. So the Vikings I mean s Monday night, man, that vi I mean they could not I mean it literally looked like you had a high school quarterback out there trying to play against national football. I mean Brice: Yeah. Josh DeMage: they couldn't do anything. I mean open receivers just miss after miss. Packers start the year one and two, I believe. I don't quote me exactly with that. But man, I mean putting up forty five one against Mike Vrabel. I mean, he's a great defensive coach. The Patriots have always been good defensively in the last two years since he's been there. But still in Foxboro on it was a Sunday afternoon, forty five points is legit for the Packers offense. They're starting to really roll offensively. Brice: Yeah, they traded that whole O line and got a all better in O line and it's really paid off. Josh DeMage: Yeah. Yeah. So they're rolling. and then two teams that you know, I pick basically every week. To me, they're really good on paper. But they just don't win big, it feels like, either of these teams, is the Rams and the Lions. And I know the Rams are banged up. Puka gets hurt in this game. Lions are for the most part healthy. They have a few defensive injuries, but it just feels like they they're always in a much closer game than they should be. I mean, that is what it is. I mean, the Broncos last year, I mean, were like eleven and in one score games and they were really good until Bo Nicks got hurt, so take what you want out of that, but it just feels like the Lions should beat the Dolphins by more than nine points, and the Rams should probably beat the Commanders by more than seven points. But, it's the National Football League. Not everyone's healthy every day. I get it. But other than that, I don't have a whole lot. It was there were some close games, but it really wasn't a whole lot of truly close games this week that were nail biters. so just another week. Saints and Browns game was good. I'll I'll give that. all right, let's go to our Brice: Yeah, keep it on the last play. He said yeah, I keep Josh DeMage: What's that? yeah, yeah. Brice: on the last play and then I just I was talking to them. There we Josh DeMage: Alright, we're gonna go to our picks for NFL. Bryce, you had the worst week. 11-4. Still a solid week. Problem was, Roy was 13-2, and I was 14-1. I was so close to being the first NFL perfection of us. I'm still waiting for the day. We were on what year four of this? Is this four or three? And Brice: Sorry, four year doing NFL, yeah. Josh DeMage: we have never had a perfect NFL. We've had that perfect college one. You did that this year. You also had a Ofer, I believe, in college football. First one of that Brice: Pretty close. Yeah. Josh DeMage: one. But we have never had a perfection in football. And I really thought I was gonna get it. Once the noon slate got over with and I was perfect, I thought the I think it was Texans, Niners, Seahawks, and I wasn't gonna talk in primetime games, and Patriots. I really thought they were gonna win. but Patriots losing to the Packers is the only one that we all missed. Roy had Browns over Saints as well as you. And then you lost that bo t to both me and Roy. You had Colts over Cowboys and Panthers over Broncos. Both were one score game, so it is Brice: all yeah, all the games I lost except for the Patriots came down to the final play. Josh DeMage: Yeah. So eleven and four for you, thirteen and two for Roy, fourteen and one for me. So I'm just gonna speak of our NFL stats. Roy is in last at 84 and 51. Three above him, or excuse me, two above him is you at eighty-six and forty-nine, and I'm one above you at eighty-seven and forty-eight. So I've jumped into first place NFL wise, not college or total. I don't think I have anything else. do you wanna talk about some of the trades that went down? I some of the trades really most Brice: Yeah, I would like to talk about the tree. Josh DeMage: of the trades happened before the deadline. So we talked the Simmons pick. Brice: There was a bunch right before the deadline, it just wasn't crazy. Josh DeMage: Yeah. you wanna talk about any of that you, you know, thought were really good or really bad? Brice: I I thought the Kirk Cousins trade was good for the Vikings. I thought it was terrible for the Raiders. I just don't see how you don't get more for him considering Josh DeMage: he got a they got a third round pick and I believe he's on a he's on a ten million dollar deal next year player option. Brice: Yeah, they basically traded the Raiders just basically got a pick out of him for paying him for Josh DeMage: Yeah. Brice: the year. Which I get, but the Raiders haven't been playing that bad and the Vikings desperately need a quarterback. I feel like they could Josh DeMage: Yeah. See. Brice: have gotten more. Josh DeMage: See, I I th I was actually surprised they got as much as they did because let's be real. The Raiders, they're not going to win it this year. I personally I don't even think they'll make the playoffs, even if they had Kirk Cousins. Just too hard of a division. The AFC is loaded. We've talked about this before. I just don't think the Raiders are good enough to get in. Sure, they started 3-0 or whatever it was, but they really haven't played that great. I I'm I'm not talking about Kirk Cousins, I'm talking about the team. To and they signed him after the Falcons cut him and are paying him, you ninety million dollars the next two or three years. Raiders signed him just to have him there. They got to mentor Fernando Mendoza. They ha didn't have to start Fernando Mendoza. And they got a third round pick out of him. And I'm gonna be honest, sure, I don't look at a third round pick like crazy. George Pickens was traded for a second round pick. And I Brice: Yeah. Josh DeMage: mean, George Pickens is an all-pro wide receiver, and the the Minnesota Vikings, who had him in house, yes, they don't have to pay him like they were going to, basically just traded third just to get their quarterback back. Brice: Yeah, the only issue is the Vikings I think were extremely desperate. They had they started off the season with the best record in the league until week eight or whatever, and then they realize we have zero def or zero offense with the best defense in the league and our defense alone can win a Super Bowl if we can put up ten points a game. And they can't do that. So I just thought Josh DeMage: Yeah. Well, they have They have a decent run game. You have Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason. They're not the nobody's a superstar there. Good offensive line. I won't even say great. But when you can't even complete a pass, you know, downfield. I mean, I watched a little bit of their game Monday night. They're starting at midfield after doing a three and out on the five yard line. They didn't get a first down till like a minute left in the second half or in the first half. I mean, it just can't happen. The Bills are not a defensive football team. So it's just they had to do something. And I agree. They made their calls. And I think Kirk Cousins is the right guy. You don't have to pay him a whole lot, which they obviously don't want to 'cause they would have just kept him at that point. He's playing well, he's healthy, and he knows the system. That's the one thing that they had. but Brice: Yeah. It does kinda lead me into the next team I wanna talk about because I read that Justin Herbert was inquired on. I would assume that was the Vikings that were inquiring on. Because Josh DeMage: yeah, it was yeah, it was. Brice: I think Justin Herbert on that team, maybe he's really good. Josh DeMage: It Brice: he he's one of those players he could be very good. He just sits there at this potential all the time. And the Josh DeMage: Yeah, I agree. I just don't think the Chargers really want to move him. And at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you think he should be moved or you want him to be moved, if the team won't move him, it's it's impossible to tracer a guy. Brice: Yeah, but that led me into wanting to talk about how stupid the fucking Chargers are for keeping all Josh DeMage: Well, yeah. Brice: of their trade value while they're 0-8. Like nine now, yeah. They kept Khalil Mac Josh DeMage: Nine now. Yeah. I agree. I it just depends on what Brice: in prison, who was inquired on. They traded somebody. Yeah. Josh DeMage: A line they trade a linebacker to Denver. That's the only one I know. Brice: Traded the linebacker to Denver. They were questioned on Justin Herbert. They were questioned on that wide receiver who drops every pass in the fucking world. Quentin Johnston. They were Josh DeMage: Quentin Johnson. Yeah. Brice: literally Blake Coram, I think, was or not Blake Coram, whatever his name is, the Josh DeMage: Hampton. Brice: Yeah, Hampton. They had people coming at him for everybody. They could have been, okay, let's win the tank. Let's Josh DeMage: Yeah. Brice: get Jeremiah Smith. Don't even trade Herbert. Get him Jeremiah Smith for next year. Like, what Josh DeMage: Yeah. Brice: are you doing? Josh DeMage: but that team does didn't obviously that team thinks they are better than 09. Yes, they are 0 9. But if you know, if they keep Herbert, I don't know Kl I Brice: But they're not. They are not good. Josh DeMage: don't know Khalil Mack's contract. I don't know if it I there's no way that it expires or else they would have moved him, personally. But If so in my mind he's got at least another year. If they add Jeremiah Smith, like you said, maybe they think they're gonna be decent next year. I don't I'm not saying I agree. I'm just telling you I that's gotta be their point of view. Because I agree. Like Khalil Max, some of those guys, those guys probably should have moved. Herbert, he another thing, he's also got a full no trade clause. If he says, I don't want to go to Minnesota, not saying that he doesn't, it didn't matter if they've accepted it or not, he's not going. So Brice: Clear max out in one year, by the way. Josh DeMage: He expires after this year. Brice: Yep. He was on a one year extension. Yeah. Josh DeMage: See, that that then makes no sense. I didn't know what his contract was, but yeah, I don't know. Brice: I just don't see they have a fucking retard for their offensive coordinator. Guy's just a nerd. I don't care. He's outdated. He had one good season of offense with the Dolphins, and that's it. Got Josh DeMage: Yeah. Brice: hired as this guru. The guy is not good at football. Jim Harb Jim or John, whoever the hell's there, he needs to stay in college. Josh DeMage: Yeah. Brice: He hasn't won a freaking NFL game in four years. All he did he won a national title at Michigan by running the ball the entire time and then thought he could come coach in the NFL again. It's just not the same sport. Josh DeMage: Yeah. Yeah. Brice: that team from top to bottom is bad. Josh DeMage: I agree. They're not they don't play well at all. I wanna talk about and I don't really wanna talk about it, I really want to bring it up for the listeners. Don't I don't really wanna elaborate on it a whole lot. Jaguars are basically all in. I mean they don't have first round pick the next two years or second round pick in the next two years. They are all in. Not saying that they shouldn't be. They have a really good roster, they play really well. They've only added defensively, not saying that is a bad idea. I'm just saying, I mean they're they're in for it. And we we talked about the Jeffrey Simmons trade. Bears are in the same boat. They don't have a first-round pick for the next two years. They're in it. I'm not saying they can't get better because Cale Williams is still on his rookie deal, and this is the benefit of being on a rookie deal, but they're in, which I a hundred percent agree. They're giving up the picks now while he's on the rookie deal, while they can spend extra on other players. So I like it. I've always said the easiest time to win a Super Bowl is on a rookie quarterback contract. You're not paying them six sixty, seventy, eighty million. You're paying them like twenty. It's it's Brice: Yeah, and Caleb has mentioned that he'll probably take a team friendly contract because he really that that is the only good thing I've seen out of the NIL is I think players are more likely to take rookie co like team friendly contracts after their rookie contract's over because they're already multi millionaires by the time they get to the league. They're not like, I gotta set up my life forever on this one contract. Josh DeMage: Well, what is a friend what's a team friendly discount? Yeah. What's a team friendly discount? 'Cause quarterbacks, by the time Caleb Williams in two years would hit free agency after a fifth year option, I bet you that contract, not saying he'll sign it, I'm saying the average for the top would probably be about eighty. So it's like Brice: He'd probably take a fifty if I had to guess. Josh DeMage: Yeah, that like that's a massive discount. I'm not saying he's not, I don't I don't know. But if like he makes a Brice: Yeah. Cause he's inve he was talking about the investing that he's done. Like he's invested in some blueberry company that makes giant blueberries that's worth a billion dollars. And they were like, How much do you have invested in it? He's like, Enough. Josh DeMage: Yeah, I wish I had enough money to invest in blueberries. Brice: Yeah, no shit. Josh DeMage: but yeah, so some teams are going all in and you know I am not a biased cowboy fan. I am very honest about I'll be very honest about their opponents. What the Philadelphia Eagles are doing is absolutely perfect. They are they are not rebuilding. They are retooling. They have three first round pick. They have no 10 for 10 picks, excuse me, in the first two rounds of the next three drafts. AJ Brown trade from the offseason. They traded a center or a guard to, I think it was a center, to the Ravens before, some of their injury bugs have hit after the Ravens went offensive line got hurt. Jordan Davis D-tackled to the Jaguars in their all-in. lot of moves from the Eagles. They've cr they've crushed it so far. And again, those picks don't mean anything if you can't hit on them. But Howie Roseman and the Eagles usually hit on them. I'll give them their bread. Brice: But the Jordan Davis one was even better because they have three D linemen that they're gonna have to pay this year and they weren't gonna be able to pay one of So they basically just got a first and a third for the guy they were gonna cut. Josh DeMage: Yeah. No. So what do they do? They get a first round pick out. The Eagles have done this historically. They've had a guy, they've been really good for four and a half years. They move on the last year, who's a stud, but they just can't keep all those studs and they get a first round pick and they just use them for four and a half years. And then guess what? They're gonna draft another D tackle from Georgia, they're gonna keep them for four and a half years and they're gonna rinse and repeat it. Brice: Yeah. Josh DeMage: it's a good organization. Howie Roseman's a really good GM. Has been since he got to the Philadelphia. But okay. I don't really have a whole lot else. there's more trades, little ones we could talk about that will probably play into a factor, but let's get into the picks. Brice: Chief's got a wide receiver, Joe's got them. Josh DeMage: Roy is not here, but we have all of Roy's picks for all the things. So we're gonna start and I will say Roy's pick first, and then me and you, we can just alternate back and forth. first game, Thursday night football. Commanders go to the Giants. Roy had the Giants. I'll go. I am also gonna take the Giants. Brice: I am as well. Josh DeMage: next one, Patriots go to the Lions. Roy has the Lions. Bryce, what do you got? Brice: I'm gonna take the Patriots. They seem to really bounce back after bag losses like that. Josh DeMage: Yeah. If the Patriots were healthy I'd probably go to the Patriots, but I know I'm almost certain AJ Brown is not gonna play in this game. I think it's a big Brice: Barely played this year. Josh DeMage: I know, but so I'm gonna take the Lions at home. Brice: Actually I think the running backs out too. I'm going to switch my pick to the Lions. Josh DeMage: Okay. next one. Chiefs go to the Falcons. Roy had the Falcons or the Chiefs, excuse me. I'll also take the Chiefs. Brice: I'm gonna take the Chiefs too, but the Falcons are a hungry dog in this one. Josh DeMage: Falcons always play good against good teams, which they always do. Brice: Yeah. Josh DeMage: next one. Texans go to Cleveland to play the Browns. Roy took the Texans. Bryce, you're up. What do you got? Brice: Who do you think I got? Give me give me Shadissy. Josh DeMage: Well I I might that might be our post for the TikTok right there. I'm gonna agree with Roy. I'm gonna take the Texans. I just don't think the Browns are they're just not that good. I'm sorry. I don't know how you're so in love with them. At this point it's gotta be a joke, but I Brice: They're winning their division. Josh DeMage: They're terrible. They can't even beat the Saints. Next one Vikings Brice: They're literally not terrible. They have the best defense in the league. Josh DeMage: Go to the Packers. Roy took the Vikings. I will go. I read a report that it is not for sure that Kirk Cousins is gonna play. So because of that, I am going to take the Packers at home. Brice: I am going to do a Packers but Vikings if Kirko plays. Josh DeMage: Okay. Next one, Jags go to the Titans. Roy took the Jags. I think we're all gonna take the Jags, so we're just gonna move on. Brice: Yeah. Josh DeMage: next one, Dolphins go to Indy to play the Colts. Ooh, doggy. Colt Dolphins will not have their quarterback. I know that for a fact. Colts don't Brice: Yeah. Josh DeMage: have anyone to play wide receiver. Bryce might get the call next because he has some experience out there. Brice: I'd tear that shit up. Josh DeMage: I mean, there's no way you're as bad as the guys they got out there playing wide receiver. They do have Jonathan Taylor. They didn't move him. Roy took Colts. I'm gonna also take the Colts because they have Jonathan Taylor, but man, teams are going to have eleven people in the box for that guy. Brice: I'm gonna take the dolphins in this one. Josh DeMage: I just can't trust their quarterback. Whoever I don't even know who their quarterback is. Brice: I forgot what his name is. I I did hear it though. Josh DeMage: Okay, so Dolphins for you, Colts for us. Next one. Panthers go to the Saints. Roy took the Saints. Bryce, I see that you took the Panthers. I'll let you go on that one. I Brice: Yeah, I got the Panthers. Josh DeMage: am also going to agree with you. I'm gonna take the Panthers. Next one, Bills go to the Jets. I think we're all yeah. We're all gonna take the Bills. Roy had it as well. Seahawks go to the Raiders. Roy has Seahawks. I'm also gonna take the Seahawks. Brice: Yeah, me too. Josh DeMage: Mendoza's debut. Hope he plays well. Rams go to the Cardinals. Roy took the Rams. Carson Beck is going to start this game. I am also gonna take the Rams. Cardinals are starting to get hurt. Not that they're any good. Brice: I'm gonna take the Rams Yeah, as if the Cardinals was getting hurt is what's gonna make them lose this game. Josh DeMage: Yeah, not as I say, not that it really is affecting what they're gonna do, but they are starting to get thin. Hopefully that means Trey McBride gets about a hundred catches every week. Next one, Niners go to the Cowboys. I'm gonna take the Niners. There's no shot. Brice: Yeah, me too. Josh DeMage: they might score 70. Steelers go to the Bengals. Ooh, this is a good one. This is Sunday night football. Roy has the Bengals. Bryce, I'll let you go next. Brice: I'll take the Bengals as well. Josh DeMage: I wanna take the Steelers but the Bengals are at home. I'll take the Bengals. And then Brice: That is one team I'm I cannot believe didn't add anything at the trade deadline. There's just yes. They are playing They are s playing Josh DeMage: The Bengals. I they did try to make one trade, it just fell through, but it wasn't. Brice: so good and to not add any defense is ridiculous. Josh DeMage: Yeah. And then the last one, Monday night football, w should have been a good game, kind of a stinker now. Chargers go to the Ravens. I don't know. I think Jacoby Brissett's gonna start at quarterback. I'm not sure. I'm gonna take the Ravens. Roy has the Ravens, and I believe Bryce is gonna take the Ravens as well. Yeah, Brice: This is probably the Charger's best shit so Josh DeMage: the quarterback situation hurts the Ravens. They still have Derrick Henry, though. And the Brice: Yeah. Josh DeMage: Ravens defense is still solid. Can they score? Felt like we had a lot of the same. Yeah, there there's a few, but yeah, for the most part we're all similar in this one. four buys this week. Bears, Broncos, Eagles, Bucks. Damn, all the bees except the Eagles. so we went over our picks and our scores from last week for NFL. I already did that. Never mind. Okay, that's all I have for NFL. We're off to college. I'll just take over Royce thing going over. Bryce, if you want to type for this one. Last week, Roy, last place, four and six. Yeah, so much for being a college football wizard that guy is. Bryce. Brice: Yeah, our our little our college football guy sucks. Josh DeMage: Yeah. Bryce, five and five in college, and I went six and four, so I win both the footballs this week. we all missed Michigan. We all missed LSU and damn coastal, man. They hurt me. We all lost Coastal. So three, there's three. We all lost. I got Illinois over Nebraska. Both of you guys picked Nebraska. And then r or Bryce got Utah over BYU. That was a ranked matchup to start. Me and Bryce both got Texas over Mizzou. And then me and Roy got Georgia over Ole Miss. That was a blowout. Wow. That I I think it was like 30 something to nothing a lot before I stopped looking at it. absolutely blowout. So four and six, five and five, and six and four. That leads our college football score to me and Roy are both tied at sixty-eight and forty. And Bryce is one ahead of us at sixty-nine and thirty-nine. To lead our overall football record, Roy is in last place at 152 and 91. And I've stormed all the way back to catch Bryce. We are tied at 155 and 88. I believe two weeks ago I was down nine, and I've made five and four the last two weeks. So. Brice: Yeah, I had a cold I've had a cold streak. I'm still pulling away a little bit. Josh DeMage: Yeah, so we're gonna keep that going. Yeah. All right, to the college football games. I am going to split screen me here. Get you there, get you there. First game is Wake Force versus SMU. I gotta find it. Got it right here. Wake Force is number 13 in the country. Wow, first of all, just seeing that. They go to SMU, and SMU unranked is a one and a half point favorite. I will go first. I'm gonna take Wake Force on the road. Roy did as well. Brice: SMU's a favorite and they're not ranked? Josh DeMage: Correct. One and a half point favorite. Brice: Screw it, give me the paper. Yeah, give Josh DeMage: That tells me that Wake Forest probably hasn't played anybody yet. Brice: me SMU. Josh DeMage: Alright. Next one. Texas is going down to Baton Rouge to play the LSU Tigers. Where are they? Texas. Roy puts these in the craziest orders. Yeah, that's all the way at the bottom. Texas is number six. We'll travel to LSU, who's ranked number 21. LSU is four-point favorites. Really? Shit. Roy had LSU at home, four-point favorite. Bryce, I'll let you go. Mm-mm. Brice: Give me the tigers. Josh DeMage: Really? Four point favorites. Brice: This will not Texas out of the playoffs. Josh DeMage: Yeah. mmm. No, I'm gonna agree. I'm gonna take LSU. It's a tough place to play. next one, New Mexico State. Good lord. New Mexico State's gonna play Missouri State. I got it right here. It is in Springfield, Missouri at Mo State. Mo State is one and a half point favorites. Roy took Missouri State, and I'm going to agree with him. I'm going to take Missouri State. Brice: Yeah, I'll I'll just ride the bandwagon with you guys. I don't know either one of these teams. Josh DeMage: I just saw something on this that is maybe the first time we've ever seen it, and now I know why Roy is not on the podcast. Florida will travel to Kentucky. Florida is unranked. Kentucky is ranked number eleven. It is in Lexington, and Kentucky is three and a half point favorites. Roy has Kentucky, and I agree I'm going to pick Kentucky. Brice: You said they're favorites? Josh DeMage: Three and a half point favorites. Florida's got r some really good Brice: Yeah, I'll take it. Josh DeMage: wins and some really bad losses. Kentucky's been pretty s Brice: Kentucky's been playing good this year too. Josh DeMage: yeah. Brice: They're no longer a basketball school. They're they suck at basketball now. Yeah. They're a football school. Josh DeMage: Kentucky. They it's just a dip different world. We live in college basketball now than we used to. Utah is going to play Arizona. Utah, wow, is ranked number two in the country going to Arizona, who's ranked number twenty-three. And Utah is only two and a half point favorites. Roy has taken Arizona, Brice: Crazy. Josh DeMage: and I'm going to disagree. I'm going to take Utah. Brice: I have to take Utah, there's just no way. Josh DeMage: Two and a half point favorites, really. all right, next one. Utah State against, I believe that's San Diego State Brice: Yeah, you're saying. Josh DeMage: University. I have a San Diego State University straw hat that I stole from San Diego. Probably shouldn't have said that on live, but that's okay. Okay, Brice: Yeah, you just admitted that in front of millions of viewers. Josh DeMage: hold on. He Utah State, where are they? Do they plan on a different day? Nope, water. Where are we at? Utah State. Utah's out west. They are at the very bottom. Utah State. We'll play San Diego State in San Diego State. Utah State is two and a half point favorites. Roy ha damn it. Roy has Utah State. Hmm. I was gonna pick them thinking that's I'm gonna go San Diego State. I'm gonna go different than Roy. I think San Diego State. Brice: Yeah, I'll take the home team. Josh DeMage: Next one, Tennessee. nope. Air Force will play San Jose State. he had this one backwards. San Jose State will play at Air Force. Air Force is 12 and a half point favorites. I'll take Air Force. Brice: Yeah, me too. Josh DeMage: Tennessee is going to play Texas AM. Tennessee is ranked number eight. Texas AM is number is unranked. It is at Texas AM. And Tennessee is two and a half point favorites. I'm going to take Tennessee. Brice: Yeah, me too. Josh DeMage: Illinois is gonna play UCLA in UCLA. this is on a Friday. Illinois is not ranked, and UCLA is ranked four. UCLA is ten-point favorites. I'll take UCLA. Brice: Yeah. Josh DeMage: And this is the reason that Roy is not on the podcast. Michigan is going to travel to number 16, Oregon. Oregon is 10-point favorites. And Roy, for the first time, has taken Oregon. We are all gonna take Oregon. But wow. Brice: I think he's taken a team against Michigan before and they Michigan actually won. Josh DeMage: That sucks. alright. I feel like we picked a lot me and you picked a lot of the same this week. Every one. We have one different, so Brice: Yeah. Josh DeMage: it's the first one. Wake force and SMU. Alright. that's I think that's all we got for college football. I'm going to steamroll over college basketball very quickly. I'm gonna go over the rankings real quick. Number one, Florida Duke two, Illinois three, Yukon four, Michigan State five, Virginia six, Texas seven, Houston eight, UCLA nine, Louisville ten, Tennessee eleven, Arizona twelve. I just clicked the wrong button. St. John's 13, Gonzaga 14, Kansas 15, Texas Tech 16, 17 is Miami, Florida, 18, Bama, 19, Arkansas, 20, Michigan, UC USC is 21, Vandy 22, BYU 23, Kentucky 24, and Nebraska 25. Games that have just happened. Arizona got throttled. by UCLA early and we might have talked about that last week, I'm not sure. Throttled by UCLA. That boosted UCLA up from like twenty something to nine. Virginia, who did they play? this is not. Virginia beat Arkansas, who's nineteen by nineteen points. So they beat them pretty good. That moved them up a little bit. And then two games that happened last night, Michigan State played no had number five Michigan State played Duke. Beat them in Chicago in the United Center. Led the whole way. Really punched Duke in the mouth early. Really stayed that way. Michigan State's got the probably the college basketball player of year in Jeremy Fuhrers Jr. it was a good game. Duke looked a little shell shocked early and they just never recovered fully. and then the other game in Chicago was Kansas at well, Kansas against Kentucky also in Chicago. Kansas just was better than them at the end of the day. Kentucky had Zoom Diallo play well. Kansas had a bunch of players play well, just beat And then the other game that was last night that was good was Texas Tech sixteen hosting Illinois on the road, number three, and Texas Tech Punched the shit out of us early. Down twenty-two with a couple minutes of left in the first half. Ended up going into halftime down twenty was Illinois. Illinois fought all the way back, got it to a one point game with about three minutes left. and then Texas Tech hit a three and then a layup, you know, whatever. Wins by seven. Illinois still without their best player. Texas Tech also without one of their best players, but I don't know if he'll play it all this year. But yeah, Texas Tech, that place was loud last night. they're really good. They're gonna move up from 16. and Texas Tech, I'm not saying this is why they won, because this is half of college basketball. But they had a kid who's 26 years old, Sue, and he played last night. So 26 years old playing against 18 year olds, so. and he dominated, just as what it is. but half of college basketball's like that, so you can't really complain about it. So all right. I don't have anything else for college basketball. I think we just got Brice: Yep, me neither. Josh DeMage: games. You got anything? Brice: I do. I just I literally just typed into AI. I said, give me a bunch of random wacky fun facts about NFL for trivia. Josh DeMage: Okay. Brice: So I'll it gave me like 50, but I'm just gonna pick out random ones. Josh DeMage: Okay. Brice: First one. What team once scored 73 points in a single game? Most ever scored in a game. Yes. Josh DeMage: We're saying NFL, correct? The Rams. Damn. I actually didn't know that. Brice: No, it was the Chicago Bears in nineteen forty. Josh DeMage: I can't believe they've scored more than twenty. Brice: Okay. They're averaging thirty points a game right now. Josh DeMage: I know. I'm just meaning historically. Brice: let me just scroll through random and pick one. What team once played a home game in a baseball stadium? Josh DeMage: What team played a home game in a b The Chicago Bears? Damn. Brice: The Oakland Raiders. They played at the Coliseum. Josh DeMage: No shit, that w that's that's a bad miss. I've watched games Brice: Apparently a bunch of teams have, so Josh DeMage: I've watched them play in that stadium and I know that. Brice: What is the shortest overtime game in NFL history? Josh DeMage: Denver Broncos. Did they play? Against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tim Tebow. Brice: How long was it? Josh DeMage: Eleven seconds. Brice: my gosh. How did Yeah Josh DeMage: Am I right? Yes! Yes! Well, I I Brice: my gosh. Josh DeMage: know how it went. Kickoff and then slant Brice: That's crazy. Josh DeMage: slant to the end zone. So I was just debating on how long the kick was and how long the s the run was. How about that? You're gonna go to bed thinking about that one. Brice: Yeah, I am actually I'm probably gonna go look it up. Josh DeMage: Do you remember that play? Brice: No, I've never seen it. Josh DeMage: Slant route. Tim Tebow right over the middle. Guy took it to the house. Need me to pull it up? Brice: Yeah, sure. Josh DeMage: Okay. Brice: lot of dumb things on here. Josh DeMage: Whoa. Brice: Can you name the four teams who have never played in a Super Bowl? Josh DeMage: Can't Brice: Yes, you you just named me that another Josh DeMage: Texans Brice: time and two thousand twelve was eleven seconds long. Josh DeMage: Texans. Brice: Yes. Josh DeMage: Vikings? Brice: No, Vikings have played in a couple. Josh DeMage: trying to think of teams that I n I don't know that they've played in a Super Bowl. Brice: The Vikings might be it's either them or the Bills who have played the most without winning. Josh DeMage: I yeah, I c the I've said the Bills four times in my head knowing they've played in one. and have the Browns? Yeah, Brice: No they have not. Josh DeMage: okay. Mm Seahawks, Cardinals, Rams Raiders have the Raiders. I mean I'm sure the Raiders have. I don't know the other ones. Brice: One of them's i is my favorite for the AFC this year. Who I Josh DeMage: Bengals. No, they played one. Brice: who I think will make the Super Bowl. My favorite to make the Super Bowl. Josh DeMage: AFC. Chiefs, Bills, Ravens. Who's really Jag Jaguars? Yeah, that one makes sense. Brice: Jag wires. And then the other one is a notoriously bad NFC team. Josh DeMage: Lions. Brice: Yeah. Josh DeMage: really? The Lions have never played in a Super Bowl? Wow, I actually did not know that. Brice: Alright, last one. Alright, this is question fifty that he gave me. What NFL team was once owned by Walt Disney? Josh DeMage: I've seen this before. I'm not gonna get it, but I have seen this before. Is it the Dolph? No, it's not, it's not no. The Saint Louis Cardinals. Brice: Trick question. Walt Disney never owned an AFL franchise. Josh DeMage: Yeah. Brice: Clip that. He was acting like he had ball knowledge for a second. Josh DeMage: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I've seen something on this before. Maybe I don't remember that it he had owned hold on. This is what I read. I was like, I just I was like, I recently saw this. While Walt Disney himself never owned a major pro franchise, the Walt Disney company did venture into professional sports later in the 90s, owning the Anaheim Angels. That is what I saw. Because I s I swear to God, I just saw like a TikTok of it. you got it open? Alright, I'll close it. Go ahead, slant Brice: Yeah. I won't see this. Josh DeMage: route, right over the middle, left side. Brice: I think that. Josh DeMage: And that was the old rules. One touchdown, game over. That was the overtime in the playoffs. Brice: those just changed, Josh DeMage: Electric. I remember that. Yep. Brice: R I P to various times. Josh DeMage: Alright, to my game. And then we'll be done. I do ha I have a guess the player. In old fashioned, you got twenty guesses. I picked a player. Good luck. Brice: NFL. Josh DeMage: Yes. Brice: Currently playing. Josh DeMage: Yes. Brice: Currently playing in the NFC. Josh DeMage: Yes. Brice: NFC North. Josh DeMage: Yes. Brice: Man, I am on a heater. Josh DeMage: Yeah, that is actually impressive. Brice: Is he playing for the Vikings? Josh DeMage: No. Brice: Lions Bears Defense Josh DeMage: No. Yes. You've guessed seven. What'd you say? Yes. Brice: Defense. Skill position. Josh DeMage: Yes. Brice: D D Josh DeMage: Yes, halfway there. Brice: Safety? Josh DeMage: No, I don't believe so, but I maybe he slots in there every once in a while, but no. Brice: Corner. Josh DeMage: Yes, I believe so. Brice: I'll just throw out nickel corner to say. Josh DeMage: I have no clue if this guy plays in the slot or the boundary. Brice: Okay. Josh DeMage: Sure. I think you could name every D B on your roster and I or currently playing and I'm sure that you would not have enough guess or you wouldn't run out of guesses. Brice: I assume it's not Jalen Johnson, but I'll say that first. Josh DeMage: No. Brice: I feel like I know who it is and he doesn't play on the Bears. That's why I'm questioning. Josh DeMage: Well Brice: I believe he just got cut from the Jets who I think it is. But I'll keep going. Tyreek Stevenson? Josh DeMage: Okay. Well if it is then if it is then I will count your guess correct because you've already basically said it. But ke okay, keep going. No. Brice: Is it Sean Wright? Okay. Josh DeMage: he did actually get check cut by the Jets, you're right. I did see that. No, you're good. You're good. You're still Brice: Okay, that doesn't count as my guess because he's obviously not Okay. Josh DeMage: at thirteen. Brice: Tyrick Stevenson? Josh DeMage: No. Brice: Is it Mohammed? Kyler Gordon? Kyler Gordon? Josh DeMage: Nope. You got five What? Damn it, I almost had ya. Kyler Gordon. I didn't know if he was a nickel or played on the boundary. I also didn't know if he slots to me sometimes are safeties. Brice: See, you should have said yes to Nickel Corner, that's what he is. He's a Nickel Corner. He's like top ten in facts this year. Josh DeMage: I haven't watched one Bears game from start to finish. I didn't know that. Brice: He had three in his first game back. Three sacks. All he does is blitz off the Josh DeMage: What was his first game back? Brice: edge. Huh? Josh DeMage: What was his first game back? Brice: That was week. Three, four Josh DeMage: I did not watch that game. Brice: Yeah. Josh DeMage: Yeah. Okay. Brice: Actually I think it was against the Eagles on primetime when Case Keenum won. I think that was his first game back. Josh DeMage: Mm. Who's who's Dallas's nickel corner? Brice: Alice's nickel corner? Josh DeMage: see see you should know that. How do you not know that? He had a sack this week. H how do you Brice: Well, I don't who it I don't Josh DeMage: not know see? See what I'm saying? Brice: No, what I'm saying is you picked a player and didn't know his position. Josh DeMage: It says and I will share my sc I will not touch it. D B cornerback. That is literally Brice: Fair enough. Josh DeMage: this is my prompt of what I did. Brice: Give me a random Bears player this season. I couldn't aim Josh DeMage: Well I was like, Brice: anybody on the staff. Josh DeMage: I was really wanting you not to get it. That'd be r that's why it was really gonna be really Brice: Keller Gordon's one my favorite players. Josh DeMage: I know. I mean I didn't think you wouldn't get it. I was just saying. all right. Brice: He the only reason I don't have his jersey is because he wears number six and that was my first jersey ever with Smoke and J. Cutler. I'll never buy another number six. I might get another smoking J. Josh DeMage: Yeah, you can't you can't get that one in. No. All right. That's all we got for ya. We'll see you next week. Hit the like button, subscribe, comment.
