Drewer and Stewer on the air. Whether you're fading with Drewer or riding with Kam, this is the place to get your weekly NFL Picks. Everything you got. Let's go. Hello, and welcome back to the Drewer and Stewer podcast. I'm Drew Livingstone. That's Kam Stewer. This is week one, Cam. It's been six months in the making. We did our division previews. We had some offseason hockey content. We did a bunch of stuff, but nothing hits better than just spread pics, right?

[00:00:29]

I love it, We got the gold, silver, and bronze back. It's fun just to go through this stuff. We'll see how bad we do this year, but I have a feeling we're going to do well. I don't know, man. A lot of these lines, too. You got to get them early.

[00:00:41]

Week one is tough.

[00:00:43]

Oh, dude. Week one, I'm looking at this stuff going, I don't know. I could go either way on these games. There's only a couple that I really, really like, but we'll figure it out. Week one's tough. And then my favorite week is usually week two, the overreaction week. Just like in college football, you're like, Oh, Hawaii couldn't beat Delaware State. Then they almost beat UCLA as two touch down dogs. Very similar to the NFL. Things are going to happen in week one. Go, Wow, that team's really crappy, whatever. It's just an opening game. Sometimes they keep it vanilla. And that's a very important thing, Drew, that I've gone through. Teams that will play vanilla just when They're way better when they play a tougher opponent next week, they're not going to show them anything. So it's a very important betting strategy.

[00:01:21]

Well, not to mention, coaches have had six months to prep for this opponent. So obviously, their defense might be a lot better this week than it is next week when they only have seven days. So agreed. It's going to be a lot different next week. But whatever, Cam, we're going to get into it. We're going to give our picks for every game. If anyone's new to this show, picks for every game on the spread. We'll talk a little totals. If we tie, we have a mystery tiebreaker man who most people who love this show know who he is. We have him in the wings giving his voice. Giving his pics. Or maybe it's a she. We don't know.

[00:01:48]

I don't know. He's a bagman. He's a mystery. Yes.

[00:01:51]

Then at the end of that, we're going to give our gold, silver, and bronze, our three best spread pics of the week. And then we're going to give in, because it's the first episode of the season, we're going to give our Super Bowl who we think is making the Super Bowl from each conference and who we think will ultimately win it. Ken, we both had one team correct in the Super Bowl last year, but neither of us got the winner, which is sad. We should just pick Chiefs again. I mean, this year, maybe we just do Chiefs, Chiefs.

[00:02:12]

I got to be honest with you, Drew. I have 49er fans, even though I'm a Seahaw fan, and it's just disappointing. Think of the way they lost that game when Greenway got hurt, just like dancing, like a move on the sidelines. They were containing them. That's their best defensive player.

[00:02:26]

Chiefs' only TD long drive of the game was an overtime.

[00:02:28]

Let's give the Chiefs credit. They're an awesome team, but they also seem to find a way all the time. I was more impressed with them. They're winning Baltimore, getting to the Super Bowl. That was all Chiefs. That was great. No, you don't even know. They shut down Baltimore. They had a game plan, and the Ravens, like they do every time. They seemed to choke in the playoffs. But a lot of teams choked. The Niners, look at their last Super Bowl run, Drew. Loss, loss, loss. Two to Kansas City, right? And another one. Was it two to...

[00:02:54]

Who was the other one? Chanahan just can't win in the big game, Cam. It's just what happens. All right, let's get into it. A A rematch of that AFC Championship game in week one, Thursday night football. The Chiefs last year, Kam, lost to the Lions on Thursday night, and you called it. I didn't. I remember week one last year, you were on the Lions. I was not. Do they lose their second straight banner raising game, Cam? I Mahomes is four and one all time against Baltimore. Is this going to be four and two? What do you think?

[00:03:19]

I don't know. All I know is it depends where you get the line, I guess. And people are like, oh, half a point, sometimes a point, it matters. Two and a half to three is a big, big deal. Also, we'll talk about buying and teasers and things like that because sometimes it's not as stupid as people think.

[00:03:32]

I'm not afraid to buy a half point.

[00:03:33]

No, I'm not. No, Drew, I'm telling you. And we talk about this on all our shows. All these new guys or the computer people are like, oh, you're such an idiot doing this. You know how many times buying a half a point or a point has won me a game instead of losing a game. Trust me, do whatever. That's our message on the show. Do what you do. You could listen to people, take in the advice. But some of these computer guys are also playing with $500 a game, $1,000 a game units and stuff like that. Me and you like to play the a little bit more. But in this game, I'm taking Baltimore. I'll get the three of Baltimore. Yes, it's not a fate of KC. Kc is going to be awesome. But injuries with Hollywood Brown and other things in the first game, I think it's going to take a lot for them to get their motor running. Baltimore, on the other hand, revenge special. I'm getting three. This is, to me, way more bigger for Baltimore, even though they're on the road. They have to find a way to beat Kansas City.

[00:04:21]

I will take the points with the Ravens, but betting against Kansas City is usually a recipe for disaster. But they didn't cover big spreads. This is a very low spread.

[00:04:30]

Yes, Cam. I love the Chiefs this week. I think they get revenge on... Well, not revenge, but I think they repeat what they did in the Aves Championship game. Baltimore lost three starting offensive linemen, Cam. They lost defenders. They lost their DC to your Seattle Seahawks. Cam, they're in shambles. Lamar doesn't really have anyone to throw to anymore. I know he still got flowers and Andrews, and he's likely supposed to be their new go-to guy. I don't trust Bateman.

[00:04:54]

Losing Sneed is a big deal for Kansas City. For sure. He was usually in the second half.

[00:04:57]

For sure, but I don't think Balthour is a team to take advantage of that. Okay. Fair enough. No. I think they're more of a ground and pound team, which I think most people agree with me. I think Chiefs win this game in a walk, Cam. In a walk? Well, not like 24-13.

[00:05:11]

Say it, Drew. Say it L-word. Say, Kansas City is a lock.

[00:05:14]

No, I won't say it.

[00:05:15]

So I could help my Baltimore pick.

[00:05:17]

That's bad luck. But the Chiefs may be in my minerals at the end of the show, Cam. We'll see. But I do love them minus three, Cam. I'm thinking like 24, 13 KC. They don't lose another banner raising. I think that's a one-time thing we witnessed last year with the lions who are much better than Baltimore, in my opinion. And Mahomes has got new toys to play with. I think we see that on Thursday night.

[00:05:37]

Yeah, it's going to be a great game. Great way to start off the season, and I'll take the points.

[00:05:41]

All right. Where do you think mystery tiebreaker man is on this one? Tied to start the season.

[00:05:44]

Guaranteed, Kansas City. Yeah. His real favorite team, remember?

[00:05:50]

Yeah. He's not really a fan of the team we know he's a fan of.

[00:05:53]

Yeah. You're a way better fan. You've been through... I don't know about this guy. He's a real... Sounds like a real bandwagon jumper, Drew.

[00:05:59]

All right, Cam. We are starting off the season on opposite sides.

[00:06:04]

Well, it wouldn't be any... This is the way we do it.

[00:06:06]

It's true. When we do agree, though, usually we're right. So let's see. Moving on. The Brazilian Rumble where they can't wear green or they might get shot.

[00:06:14]

Don't wear your Don't bring money. Don't take a cell phone down the street. Dude, imagine being an- Did you see the-Yeah, sorry.

[00:06:22]

He asked, Vontade Smith, Hey, what do you think about going to Brazil? He's like, No comment. And then A. J. Brown is like, I'm just staying in my hotel. Yeah, no, you don't walk the streets. Why would you be?

[00:06:32]

You're a target. I'm going to tell you one thing. You think it was bad for Colorado getting their jewelry stolen by the UCLA crew? What's going to happen in Brazil? You're a target, not just to get stolen, get hurt. I wouldn't leave my hotel. If I need anything, I'll tell somebody to get it for me. By the way, I think this is bullshit. I hate this by the NFL, and they just brush it off. This is not fair for the Philadelphia Eagles. Even Parker fan will tell you that. This is a home game. Yeah, this is a home game in Brazil. That's not right. And I'm sick and tired. Jacksonville in England, that's a trend now. But this is bullshit. It should never happen like this. This is wrong. The NFL is a tough enough league to win games. That's my take, Drew. I think you agree. It is nonsense, and it's not right.

[00:07:11]

So we got the Eagles camp minus two and a half. Home favorites. It's pretty much a neutral site game. If it was the end of the championship game, this could be the spread is what they're saying. Cam, Jordan Love impressed last year, 32 passing touch downs. The Eagles defense last year, absolutely brutal. 30th in scoring defense, 26th in overall defense, 31st in past defense. They added first and second-round picks to their secondary. They re-signed CJG.

[00:07:35]

They got Dauxon.

[00:07:36]

Yeah, Maddox, they got to. Yeah, Cam, do you think the Eagles have done enough to fix their defense, or are you like the packers here?

[00:07:42]

I like the Eagles in this game. And I think the packers are going to be a very interesting team to watch. Are they going to regress because that division is very tough? Just sucks that McCarthy went down for Minnesota because I thought we would have seen him, but maybe Darnold will surprise. But anyway, we're talking about the Eagles. They still need a little bit of help, but I think Jalen Hertz last season, there was a real disconnect there. Drew, we talked about it on the show. We've never seen a team pack it in and quit like they did against the Buckeyeers.

[00:08:05]

We both agree, Siriani is an idiot.

[00:08:07]

I think the fact that people love Siriani to me is nuts. But I will say this, Jalen Hertz is healthy. The weapons that they have. I think the Eagles's offense is going to be really good. And Green Bay, they're going to be a good team. But I just think Philadelphia, I think they got things straightened out. I think they were a team that tapped out. I think there was a lot of issues last year, and I think they've corrected them. Give me the Eagles by four in a very close game in Brazil, just covering the two and a half.

[00:08:32]

My thing is, Cam, I agree. I'm on the Eagles as well. I like the minus two and a half here. Both these teams to me, I don't agree with what we saw last year. I don't agree with the packers being as good as what we saw. I don't think the Eagles were as bad as what we saw at the end of the season. So I think, what is it? Rock and hard place. I think that's what happens here. I think the Eagles can win this game by three. It's close spread. It's a tight spread. So I just like taking the team. I think it's going to win. I think Philly wins this game. I think they got better weapons on both sides of the football. Agree. Green Bay has got a better secondary, but I I don't think that matters with the Eagles's weapons. So give me Philly minus two and a half. We're in agreement, Cam.

[00:09:04]

I like that. So Bagman's not in play this game, but let's go Eagles. Fly, Eagles, fly.

[00:09:09]

Speaking of JJ McCarthy, who you mentioned, Sam Darnold starting a quarterback, going to New York to take on the football Giants. The Giants are one point home dogs. Cam, Daniel Jones is back. This isn't Italian DeVito at quarterback against Sam Darnold. Probably the worst quarterback match of the week. Do you agree, Jones versus Darnold?

[00:09:28]

Yeah, I would have I do agree with that. I can't think of a very worse one. No, I can't think. Well, you could say Gino Smith versus Bo Nix, I guess, if you want, because he's a rookie.

[00:09:38]

And two LSU studs and neighbors and JJ, Jeff and Jefferson, Aaron Jones against Devon Singletaire. It's a tight game, Cam. I agree with the spread. The spread is right on the money to me. Give me the home Giants underdogs, Cam. Everyone's on the Vikings in this one. It looks like 56 % of the public. I like Brian Dable coming out with this much time to prep for the Vikings defense to show I'll give off Daniel Jones a little bit. Daniel Jones is okay, Cam, against bad teams, and I think the Vikings are a bad football team. So give me the Giants to win this one outright.

[00:10:06]

One thing I think Daniel Jones needs to keep his job is to just stop doing dumb things, give him a little bit of protection and let him run. You're like a gazelle. You're one of the faster guys in the league. Trust me, Daniel Jones in the open field is like a horse. You've seen him go like... I see guys chasing him down. I'm like, Jones is gone. He's fast, fast. And people don't give him credit for that. So Jones, play to your strength. I'm with you, Drew. I think this is one of the toughest This game's on the board. Like a game show, I wish we can go pass because I think it's going to be... If you're a pro-line player, this game's got tie written all over it within three. But I will take the dog in the Giants. We're getting one. I think they probably win this game by one to three. So I will take the G-men with you.

[00:10:45]

In agreement. And the G-Men came have a revamped defense camp. Their defensive line is going to be trouble. And Sam Donalds, not one to not turn the football over. He throws a lot of pics. So does Jones. But Donalds easily be turning over when he's forcing at the end of the game when they're down six points. They had tons of injuries.

[00:10:59]

Thibodeau was Banged up. Other guys were banged up. High draft, pics were banged up. So you know what? I think the Giants get off on the right foot, too. Everyone's down on this team, but I'll take the G-men. A very tough game.

[00:11:08]

All right. In agreement, once again. The good times are rolling. I don't know if we'll be in agreement on this one. I really like one side, but we'll see. The Miami Dolphins hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Battle of Florida. Ken, first off, which city would you rather live in, Miami or Jacksonville?

[00:11:21]

Jacksonville for me, because Miami, even though it's really hot, I burn in the sun. Better party life in Miami, but I can get it done in Jacksonville.

[00:11:29]

It's When you're an old bear now, you just want to relax on the beach.

[00:11:32]

Yeah, like Jacksonville. Miami is a little bit too... I still go out there and give her, Drew. Just not the way I did when I was younger. But Jacksonville, to me, it's more north. Jacksonville is more my speed. Miami is a little bit too slick for me. I can see as an older guy, the threat of robbery and or being mugged or killed in Miami is way higher than Jacksonville.

[00:11:53]

So I'll take Jacksonville from a safety perspective. I think Jacksonville is probably a spot where more snowbirds go as well compared to Miami. I Miami is too big of a youthful party town. I agree with you. I live in Jacksonville. Better team, too, to cheer for. But I'm a Dibil's fan, so that's a good price. The Dolphins minus three, Kim. Two of 15 and two straight up all time at home. Does it continue that trend, or the Jags come in and upset them? I'll take the Jags.

[00:12:17]

Give me the three points with Jacksonville. The cat theme is back. We're ready to rock. I'm going to tell you, I think Jacksonville is really putting it together. They were my pick last year and everything was going good. I was getting the old Barry Horowitz from you, Drew, Trevor Lawrence, a. K. A. Steffy Graff, got hurt in that whole season.

[00:12:33]

And then they just kept playing them. I was like, We're going to keep playing them hurt.

[00:12:35]

Don't let them rest. You know what? You better learn your lesson from that. When this guy's banged up, just put the backup in. You got to get this guy. He's got to be 100 %. They got the weapons, Drew. I'm down with Jacksonville. I think it's too many points. As for Miami, a lot of people are high on them this year. I'm not. I think the Jets and Bills are better. I think they finish third in the division. I will take the Jacksonville Jaguars plus three.

[00:12:56]

You don't like Coach vaping, Mike McDaniel?

[00:12:57]

Whatever that guy. Smartest guy in the room, McDaniel. Anyway, whatever.

[00:13:01]

Yeah, he does. Cam, I really like the Dolphins in the spot. I think they're a better offense. I know Jacksonville has all the weapons and whatever. I don't care. The speed in Miami is just unbelievable. I don't know what the Waddle injury is. I hate the mystery surrounding this guy. No one knows what's hurt. No one knows if it's soft tissue or a bone bruise or something, but he's been hurt for four weeks. He already dealt with ham string issues last year where he missed a bunch of games, or it'd be like he plays for two plays, he sits out 10 plays, he plays for three plays. I hate that nonsense, but I think Miami is a different beast at home. I think they're track and field, they're going to run up and down the field. I think they can win this one by seven to 10, and it's only three. So give me the Miami Dolphins to win this one by more than three. Where do you think mystery timebreaker man is on this one? Dolphins. Jacksonville Jaguars, Cam. Usually you're pretty hot with the time. Here's the one-on-one. We'll see where it goes for one.

[00:13:47]

I made two pics. Yeah, I'm just saying. Give me a sample size. We've only bet two games, Drew. I know. I'm just saying. With the brakes on.

[00:13:56]

Not a good start. 50 %? No, it's not. All right. Carolina at New Orleans take on the Saints. The Saints minus four at home. 73 % of the public is on the Saints, and we have a rule on the show, and we see 70 % or more on one side. The alarm bells go ding, ding, ding, ding, ding But let's see if that trend continues. Cam, are you taking the cats and the Panthers on the road?

[00:14:19]

This is my Super Bowl. I have so many bets on Carolina five and five and a half over. If they can find a way to beat the Saints, this is a great start to my year. I want them to win outright. I'm not backing down. I made a bet with New Orleans to be one of the worst teams in the league and the worst team in the league at 28 to one. I'll put my money where my mouth is. I know guys, you think I'm crazy, but I think Carolina- You believe in Canales then? I do believe in Canales. Look what he did for Baker Mayfield in Tampa Bay last year. A whole different ball game. I'll tell you one thing, in a battle of brains, Dennis Allen is the worst coach in the National Football League. Me and you went out. I just watched this guy, how bad New Orleans is. I don't even think Carr is going to get through week six or seven. We're going to see Rattler in there.

[00:14:59]

Their schedule is tough after this one.

[00:15:00]

I'm telling you, I'll take the cats plus four, please.

[00:15:05]

Cam, I really think the Saints win this one. They've won five straight open.

[00:15:08]

As long as you don't win by more than four, if they win by more than four, I got it. That's what I'm thinking.

[00:15:11]

It could be close, because it's a division game. All right, you convinced me. I'm going to go on Carolina plus four with you, but I think the Saints win this game. So Saints fans, don't come for me. Yeah, don't come for us. I think you guys win that field goal. You come for me. I think it'll be 17, 14. Saints final. Carolina covers the spread.

[00:15:26]

Fair enough. Drew, we're changing pics, too, if we have a difference of opinion later on in the week, correct?

[00:15:32]

Yeah. So the Thursday show will be when we change our pics, if we had something to change, or if I find out Waddle is not playing for my I want to switch that pick, or whatever happens. We'll also reveal our props, our favorite player props for the week, which are usually pretty good. Cam is really good at the anytime, countdown market.

[00:15:45]

Yeah, and you're good with the other stuff. We almost hit it like massive parlay, Drew. Oh, yeah. By the way, I had a college 10-game parlay for 2,800, 910. You never seem to get there.

[00:15:58]

I don't want to talk about me taking Clemson plus the points. We'll get a half, and they can't move the football.

[00:16:05]

Dude, get off that train. One of the problem is vanilla offense. They never take shots. But anyway, George is really good. But let's continue.

[00:16:13]

Yeah, anyways. Stealers at Falcons. Kirek Cousins coming off the Achilles injury. It looks like he's going to play. I know everyone's saying it might be Pennex, but I don't think so. Russell Wilson and the Stealers going in there, Kam. You start. I don't know. Arthur Smith, revenge game. He's going to be running the Stealers' offense. Their defense is one of the best. I'm going Stealers, Kam. Kirk Cousins is not going to be able to move very well in the pocket. Coming off that injury, he's going to be slow to start. I think he's going to integrate slowly into this offense. New head coach in Atlanta, and Dan Quinn... Or not Dan Quinn. Dan Quinn was the Atlanta head coach. I want to call him Raheem Morris. Kam, yeah, I think this is trouble for Atlanta in week one. I think the Stealers go in there and maybe hold them to 7 to 10 points. This could be a 16-10 Stealers win. So give me the Steelers on the road outright. I like them here.

[00:16:55]

I'm going to take the points as well. I'm not sure if they're going to win outright, but asking Atlanta to win by more than a field goal, I don't really think it's a tough situation. Here's the thing, Atlanta, too, the darlings of everyone who's betting this. I've seen this movie so many times, and you know what? People love Atlanta. Oh, we're in an easy division. We all know that. But this is not an easy game to play Tomlin and the Steelers coming out of the gate and everyone high expectations. I think the Steelers can win out right, too, but I'll take the three.

[00:17:21]

And people are shitting on Russell Wilson for his season he had last year. It wasn't that bad. I think he was a lot better than me.

[00:17:25]

And I hate to say it, Payton was He was horrible to him. He treated him like that guy.

[00:17:31]

What do you want from that guy? He was advertising him left and right.

[00:17:34]

Russell Wilson, actually, I'm going to defend him. I don't like the way he was talked to. He was bullied by his coach. They didn't want him, and he still went out there and delivered. Remember games that he came back against and stuff? Let's give him credit. He grinded. I'd like to see fields in a lot of packages, too, because that guy could be lethal. He's just got to protect the ball. The Steelers are a really interesting team to me. Their defense is always good, but if their offense shows up, they're going to be very, very hard out. So I'm going to take the Steelers plus three.

[00:18:00]

Yeah, I think both these teams are very similar. Offensively, obviously, Atlanta has more weapons, but I think the Steelers defense counteracts that because the Steelers defense is very, very good. And I think Russell Wilson can just... If you just don't turn the ball over in this game, I think they win this game. So, yeah, we're both in on the Pitzerick Stealers. All these I'm talking about Falcon fans and Falcons back. I'm like, What are you guys talking about? Falcons winning the Super Bowl, blah, blah, blah.

[00:18:18]

This is a problem with football. We're not bad guys. We're just making our picks. Don't come at us or whatever. We are- I just think they're going to- And we have no problem with Atlanta. I got no problems with Atlanta. I have them winning the division. The division is a weak division. I just say this is a tough spot. You don't want to play Pittsburgh week one. It's a very difficult matchup. And if Atlanta wins in covers, good for them. It's going to be a very good game. I think it's going to be close. So I take the dog when I'm getting- I think Atlanta is going to start the year slowly, but then come week, everyone's like, wow, this offense is awesome.

[00:18:49]

But I don't think they come out of the gate like that. It usually doesn't happen.

[00:18:52]

We agree.

[00:18:54]

Exactly. All right, moving on. Cincinnati hosting the New England Patriots. Cam, we both agreed New England to be the worst team football. I have their win total under two and a half all-line, which I think is crazy, but that was whenever. I was like, I'm going to sprinkle on this just because. Jacobi Brisset starting a corner back over Jake May, which I agree with. A lot of people were like, Why are you starting Jacobi Brisset?

[00:19:12]

Because you don't start a rookie into the fire like this.

[00:19:15]

You don't want to lose his confidence against Cincinnati in Cincinnati week one. Eight and a half point favorites, Cam. This is going to be everyone's survivor pick. Maybe ours later in the show, we'll find out.

[00:19:24]

Can you start? I'm having a real hard problem with this.

[00:19:30]

I like the bangles in this one. Only, I don't think they score that many points because New England's got a sneaky good defense, but they just traded away their two best defenders, actually. They lost Callahan, which I think will hurt the offense. Chase is probably not playing, but I just think they have enough. I think since I need to score what? 24 to cover this number? 21, maybe? New England can't score more than 14, I don't think, in this game, maybe even 10. So I think because since he only needs to get to probably 24 to cover this, I'm going to take the bangles at home.

[00:19:57]

I'm going to take the bangles, too, but this pick might change on Thursday. Too many people are going to be on one side of this game. I don't know who's betting New England. I'm with you. I think they'll probably win four games this year, four, five tops. But hey, Jaron Mayo is going to have these guys ready to go. One thing is they're not going to quit. They're just not talented. Give me Cincinnati.

[00:20:13]

Yeah. I don't like who Who's their best playmaker in offense? Paul?

[00:20:16]

Stevenson.

[00:20:18]

Yeah, I guess.

[00:20:19]

Yeah, that's exactly it.

[00:20:22]

I don't see how they can score. What's their max points do you think they can get in this game? 17? Like max, ceiling.

[00:20:30]

Yes. 16 to 17. Yeah, 16, 17.

[00:20:34]

Yeah. So I just can't bet on a team that the max output is 17 points. All right, Cam. The Buffalo Bill is hosting the Arizona Cardinals, their new look offense with Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison, James Connor is back. The Bills are four and one in their last five home openers, winning by an average of 19 points. The only loss was to those Pittsrick Stealers when they were ten-point dogs. We said, Stealers week one, they went into Buffalo and absolutely stomped them. Cam, do you trust the Bills to win by their average and cover this number, or do you think Arizona is going to be sneaky good and keep it close?

[00:21:02]

I think Arizona is going to cover a lot of spreads. I don't know what's going to happen week one. I don't know how long it's going to take for these guys to gel, but you know what? It's a big year for Buffalo. This game is very tough, Drew. I wanted you to go first on it. I always wanted to go first? I can. Yeah, I'm right down the middle. I lean Buffalo.

[00:21:18]

I like Arizona here, Cam. I think the Bills have lost too many key defenders in their secondary. And I think with Milano being hurt, that's a huge blow. Kyler Murray is going to be able to run the football. I don't trust Von Miller going to be Von Miller anymore. I know people are like, oh, he's back. I'll believe when I see it. I know Sean McDermott is a great defensive coordinator, a great defensive mind. He's the head coach. I just don't know. It's like we got a new DC calling plays, all the injuries. I think Cardinals keep it close. I don't know what the Bills' offense is going to look like. I could see this being like a 27, 24 Bills win. I think the Bills still win, but I think it could be right in this number. So I can't take the six points at home.

[00:21:53]

It's a tough game. And Arizona is going to be one of those teams. You look at the roster, wow, man, they got some- Their defense isn't great.

[00:21:59]

Which is why the Bills could pour 35.

[00:22:02]

How does this total 48? That's what I want to know. If you look at the total, you got to jump on it now.

[00:22:07]

I think the Bills- Unless it's supposed to be bad weather. I haven't looked at the weather report. If it's going to be raining, then maybe. Bad weather.

[00:22:11]

Isn't it still... We're not in winter yet.

[00:22:14]

We're not in the- No, but I'm saying if it's pouring rain or something.

[00:22:16]

Rain. Wind is the problem, not rain. I don't care about rain. I care about strong winds. But anyway, 48 seems too low. I'll take Arizona with you, Drew, but this is a game that's definitely on the fence. I was leaning Buffalo. You could I had to convince me with Arizona. I'm thinking about Buffalo's D. It could be a real problem, but this could change on Thursday. But give me Arizona plus six as for now.

[00:22:37]

And one of my favorite props this week, everyone will see is going to be Trey McBride. The Bills don't really have a cover, linebacker to cover him with.

[00:22:42]

He's my tight end in your fantasy league.

[00:22:45]

There you go. I think he's going to have a good week this week, but we'll see. All right, moving on. I can't believe we both pick against the bills. The Indianapolis Colts hosting the division-winning Houston Texans. Kim, Anthony Richardson and the Colts beat the Texans last year. He had two Russian touch zones in that game before he left with a concussion. Can they win again as a home dollar? Can they at least cover the spread? Or are you on the Houston train where no one can stop the Texans, Cam?

[00:23:07]

No, I'm on the Horseshoe. Give me Indianapolis plus two and a half in this game. I think Steke in will have a game plan. This Houston team, everyone's darling. I get it, but I don't know, man. There's just something about the NFL. It's just one of those things like, Stroud looked so good. And then I'm not sold. Too many people like Houston. I think they're a very good team, but they still have flaws. Indianapolis, on the other I think they're going to be ready to play in this game. Two and a half, it looks that number two is telling me the books, I think it's easy. Oh, Houston by three. No, I think Indianapolis is going to win this game, so I'll take the two and a half. Indianapolis will win this game between one and three. Another real tight game.

[00:23:45]

Yeah. I don't like that. It's not three. I would love to have that. I mean, this is probably one ride by a half point camp. Yeah, for sure. But anytime, like we said, 70 % of the public is on Houston right now with the dogs, and the lines barely moved. With that many people on one side, you think Vegas be like, You know what? Let's make it three and a half. Because people are going to bet Houston anyway, but they're not. They're keeping it here to trap you to make you bet on Houston. I'm not falling for the bait camp. Give me the Indianapolis Colts at home. I don't know if they win or not, but I think they cover this plus two and a half. Sorry, Houston fans. I know everyone's like, Oh, it's Super Bowl or Bus this year, but I think it might be a slow start.

[00:24:16]

It's a tough opener. Indianapolis is well-called. Also, I think Jonathan Taylor is going to have a huge comeback here, a huge comeback here. And with Richardson's ability to run, that makes it very hard.

[00:24:26]

This year, Richardson looks bad at throwing. And he has so little starts in his career. I know. If he throws a pick or two in this game, then it's all over, and Houston wins this game in a walk. As long as it's connected football, it's close.

[00:24:37]

They have to, Drew. It's a very simple concept, and sometimes guys don't think about it. Get them comfortable. Give Richardson easy throws right out of the gate, like dump offs, little pitman like screen. You got to keep him rolling, because if you start doing deep bombs and throwing into coverage, if he throws a pick early, that's bad news for a guy, as you said, has very little NFL experience and was hurt last year. Keep the game plan simple. Indianapolis is one of those teams that... They're a weird team. They could be really good this year or not. I don't know what to think of the Colts, but I'll take them week one.

[00:25:10]

I think they just got a dink and dunk, keep Stroud in that offense off the field. And I think that's how it What happens? So we're both on the cold skin in agreement again. Yeah. Wow. Moving on. The Chicago bears hosting the Tennessee Titans who we both love in the division preview show. Listen, Kam, new offenses usually take a lot of time. I'll start here. Give me the Tennessee Titans with Brian Callahan to win this game outright. Sorry, bears fans. I'm on Titans.

[00:25:34]

I'm on the Titans, too. Four and a half looks like too many points. Everyone's going to bet Caleb Williams. The bears are going to be good, but it could take a while for this train to get rolling. No one respects Tennessee. They think they're junk.

[00:25:44]

I can't Tennessee's got the best corner duo in the league. I don't care. I like Tennessee.

[00:25:47]

I think Tennessee is very underrated, and they deserve a lot of respect. And people look at that line, I think it's pretty low. I think people will take Chicago in a lot of money line parlays.

[00:25:56]

They're the North Bet team in Vegas, apparently. Week one is Chicago.

[00:25:58]

This could be a very dangerous game. So give me Tennessee right now. We're reading each other's mail big time. Oh, my God. One thing has stayed common on the theme dogs. We are like every dog except for what we got, Cincinnati.

[00:26:10]

Yeah, we have- We have a few ferrets. Well, I do. I don't know. I don't. We both like the Titans here. I came, I think this is one of the... No, I'm not saying it. I'm not saying it. Don't say it. Vegas going to LA to take on the charters. The charters in Jim Harbaugh are minus three at home against Antonio pierce in the Vegas. I was going to say Goldenites, the Raiders. Kam, Minchu versus Herbert, Harba versus pierce. Last time these two teams played, it was an absolute disaster. I remember the 70 points the Raiders scored on week 15. It was the start of the fantasy play. I remember because I had both the Raiders and Charters D, and I was like, Oh, let's go chargers D. Yeah, terrible decision by me. Yeah, so what do you think here? Kam, this is one of the toughest games on the board for me because I don't know if the chargers come out hot. Pierce had the Raiders playing really hard at the end of the year. Does that carry over? What do you think?

[00:27:01]

No, I'm going to take the chargers in this spot. I could change it. I don't like the fact that they're laying three, but something tells me Harbaugh will have things cleaned up. People are talking about Herbert's injury. I think he can get through it. The Raiders- Hey, got stuck in an elevator, too.

[00:27:16]

You hear that story?

[00:27:17]

Yeah, apparently Harba was proud of him because he didn't flip out.

[00:27:20]

He came out without sweat. He's such a beast. What are you talking about?

[00:27:24]

If I was trapped in an elevator, I'd lose my mind. I have enough problems as it is. Dude, I'm claustrophobic. If that elevator stops mid-floor, I'm literally not going to have a lot of that.

[00:27:31]

And he was five teammates? So it was probably so hot. Oh, yeah.

[00:27:34]

So hot, big, heavy dudes in there. Yeah. Actually, I'll give him credit, too. But give me the chargers. Three lightning bolts. I think we can cover the spread. I know it's a divisional game, but I just think they're better than the Raiders, and they got to get off to a good start. I think they went actually by four, very close to the number.

[00:27:48]

Ken, we're going to disagree with you. I'm going to take the Raiders, and it's solely because who's going to have more fans in attendance? The Vegas Raiders. Yeah, for sure. This is going to be 80 % Raiders fans, and I think that's going to affect Herb in his first... With the first game under Harbaugh not being able to hear his head coach. I could see the Raiders winning this one outright, Cam, so I got to take the plus three. I just think this is the worst home opener for the Chargers to have because it's going to be no fans there cheering for them.

[00:28:12]

That's true, but that's just the way it is. It's always like that for LA teams.

[00:28:17]

Yeah, but this is worse because the Raiders are right there.

[00:28:20]

Yeah, I know. But I'm going to tell you, I don't think the Raiders are that good. I think the Chargers, they have to make a statement. And I think Harbaugh is going to clean up a lot of things that these loser coaches like Staley and all these other Gearboxes didn't... There was no attention to detail. So I think it's really- Yeah, you're not wrong.

[00:28:35]

I just think it could take a year or two because of the lack of weapons they have.

[00:28:38]

Yeah, you're right. It's a good number for the Raiders. It's not two and a half, it's three.

[00:28:42]

What do you think of Brock Bauer's tight-end?

[00:28:44]

I think Brock Bauer, if he was on any other team, I'd have him for offensive rookie of the year. How's that sound? Really? I think Brock Bauer- So you start across Minchou. I actually think Brock Bauer might go to the Hall of Fame.

[00:28:53]

So you don't like Minchou then at all?

[00:28:54]

I just think Minchou, the Harbaugh will know what he's going to do. That's the thing. I like Minchou.

[00:29:00]

So if Bauer is on the other side on the charter here, you would like him for offensive rookie of the year?

[00:29:03]

Yes, I would. All right. What do you think? What do you think? Bauer's is amazing, dude.

[00:29:08]

I think he's the best- We watch him in college.

[00:29:10]

The guy's not even tight- He's a receiver.

[00:29:12]

He's a receiver.

[00:29:13]

He's like, He call him tight-end. The guy does Everything. Guys, I hate to say this. Like, Kelsi- He's like,. Yes, he's Kelsi-esque. He's just one of those guys that can dominate a game.

[00:29:22]

Because he can also block. He's not like a Kyle Pitzer, Kincaid, where they're not good blockers. He can also block. Good call, Drew.

[00:29:27]

Great.

[00:29:28]

All right. Cleveland Browns camp, hosting the Dallas Cowboys. This may be my Minerals camp.

[00:29:34]

You're forgetting two games in order.

[00:29:38]

Oh, yeah. Denver, Seattle. Oh, my God.

[00:29:39]

And another game.

[00:29:40]

What the hell? I skipped the New York game. No, next week, New York camp.

[00:29:42]

Drew's been even season four, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:29:45]

The Denver Bronco is going to Seattle. I'll take on your Seahawks and Mike McDonald. Cam, Bo Nicks. Tough first start to play in Seattle, am I right?

[00:29:54]

First of all, let me talk about this game. Bo Nicks. I know Grub is the offensive corner from the University He's in Washington, but he's seen Bo Nicks. Or Washington beat Oregon twice. I don't care if he's an offensive guy. He knows every trick in the book. So everyone's like, Oh, Bo Nicks had a great preseason. It's preseason. As for Seattle, Drew, this is one of my favorite games now. I think they're actually going to smash Denver. Five and a half seems like a limp line. I think Seattle wins this game by 17. It's going to be one of my favorite picks this week. I'm telling you, I really believe in this Seattle team and Mike McDonald. I took their wins over seven and a half. I changed my tune. I watched every preseason game, every snap with these guys. I know it's preseason, but there's a lot of things I like. And the thing that I know, all the players talked about, all the stupid things Pete Carroll did with the defense, McDonald has corrected already. Denver is going to be in a world of hurt in this game. Even if they don't win, I know they win by a countdown.

[00:30:46]

Give me Seattle minus five and a half, please.

[00:30:49]

Kim, I'm going to lean with you. I know you trust Seahawks, but Gino Smith is a favorite. He's 10 and 15 in his career, ATS. Oh, I know that.

[00:30:58]

I know. I'm not relying on the defense, a rookie quarterback on the road.

[00:31:02]

Yeah, and that's why I'm going your side, just because it's this Bo Nix's first start. With that home crowd, it's going to be a very tough environment to have your first NFL start. For sure. And the weapons that Seattle has on the other side against Denver's defense. I think you're right. I think they can win this game by more than the five and a half that it currently is, but I think it's going to be tight. I don't think it's going to be 17 points like you said. I think it'll be closer than that. But yeah, I'll go with Seattle. This might change on Thursday, though. This might change. I don't know. This one is one of the toughest games for me.

[00:31:26]

I don't find it. I think there's much tougher games in this one, like Dallas, Cleveland, LA, Detroit. Very tough games. But anyway, I'm taking Seattle.

[00:31:35]

All right. The Washington Commanders with new head coach, Dan Quinn, going to Tampa to take on the Bucaneers, coming off their playoff victory over the Eagles. They lost the next game, but that's whatever. What do you think here, Cam? Do you believe in Baker Mayfield and Tampa Bucaneer to rebound? No. I love Washington.

[00:31:48]

I love Washington.

[00:31:49]

You love Washington.

[00:31:50]

I love them. I think they're going to win this game outright. I think there's a team. I like what I saw, their chemistry. I think Tampa Bay- Are you worried about their offense?

[00:31:58]

I'm a little worried of their offense. They have no one besides Terry.

[00:32:01]

They'll be fine. Robinson will be fine running the ball. They got a couple of other guys. Don't worry. Just everything's going to be okay with Washington. I think their defense is going to get to Mayfield as well. Three and a half points. It's too many points for me. I think Washington wins this game outright. I'll take the commies. I like this team. Over six and a half wins in the year, too.

[00:32:20]

We're in disagreement here. I like the Tampa Bay Bucaneers at home. I think Baker and the offense can do enough to hold off rookie Jane Daniels. It's the same situation for me. I don't like taking rookies in their first career starts. We might see some flashes, but I think Tampa wins this game by 4-7, 4-10. So give me the Tampa Bay Bucaneers here minus three and a half. This might be another one where I buy the points to make it three because I could see it being a field goal game. Where do you think mystery tiebreaker man is on this one? Tampa Bay. Correct. Okay.

[00:32:46]

So now I'm two and one. Yes, there you go. Yeah, there you go. Over 500.

[00:32:51]

Back on the winning train. Here we go.

[00:32:52]

So we've only disagreed on three games? Wow, this is crazy.

[00:32:55]

One, two. Yeah. This is weird. Usually, we disagree on seven.

[00:32:59]

This is interesting. We'll see.

[00:33:01]

This next one may be disagreeing on. Cleveland Browns hosting the Dallas Cowboys. I jumped the gun early earlier. Minus two and a half at home, Dallas on the road. A lot of changes in Dallas. They lost a lot of key pieces. Cleveland fully revamped one of the best defenses in football. Jim Schwartz has had six months to prep for this Dallas Cowboys. We saw Dax struggle on the road last year. Kim, Brown's 8 and 1 at home last year, allowed an average of just 13.7 points. The issue with Cleveland is what Deshawn Watson are we going to get? Because everything else screams Cleveland, which is why I'm leaning Cleveland here. But tell me what you think.

[00:33:35]

I like Cleveland. I think this team has beaten so many good teams at home. They're just their defense. You're right, Drew, they're getting better all the time. All those young guys are really growing It's about their.

[00:33:45]

I'm shocked, Schwartz isn't the head coach yet.

[00:33:47]

You know why? He's a great defensive coordinator. As a coach, he's just different. Maybe he's finally like, You know what? I'm a defensive coordinator, and I'm the damn...

[00:33:56]

I'm the best. You think he'd get another chance, though? Dan Quinn got another chance.

[00:33:59]

He wasn't going to go last year. If they do, if Cleveland has a big year, wins 10 or 11 games, he'll get a coaching- You don't even want to play with Joe Flack. I know. It's crazy. I had one big. But I like Cleveland in this game. I think they beat Dallas by a very close game, three or 4, and it's two and a half. The Dallas Cowboys, their defense injuries already. That's the whole thing. I think Deshawn will do enough in the game. It's going to be a field position battle. I actually like the under in this game for some weird reason. I don't know what I'm thinking. No, no, no.

[00:34:29]

I like Cleveland. I like the over in this one. I have it even circled as one of my favorite times of the week. I think both offenses can score more than we think. I think it's going to be the Jerome Ford show in this one because we know Michael Parsons and those guys are great at rushing the passer, but they're not great at stopping the run. You're right. And they had a huge injury in their secondary losing Bland, which means Mark is probably going to have a field day. Diggs isn't really a travel guy, so I doubt he travels with Cooper. So I think they just take advantage of whoever's on the side without Bland. Give me Cleveland, Cam. I love this pick minus two and a half. I think they win this 10. I think it's going to be... I think they hold Dallas till it's some low points holes. And then we're going to get all the talk shows Monday are going to be like, wow, our Dak Prescott and the Cowboys. The toughest game of the week, going into the dog pound on the road with all that prep time. People need to relax on the Cowboys if they lose this one, which I think they will.

[00:35:18]

But whatever, Cam, we're both on the Cleveland Browns. I thought you were going to be on Dallas on this. I'm not going to lie.

[00:35:22]

No, I have Dallas. One of my bigger bets is Dallas under 10 and a half wins for the season. It went to nine and a half. I think Dallas is going to be There's going to be problems with that team this year.

[00:35:32]

All right, we will see. The Rams now going to Detroit to take on the lines. Rematch of the playoff game, Cam, where Stafford and those Rams lost by one single point. The spread is three and a half. Same situation in the playoff, Cam. They lost by one. Do you think the Rams can keep it close yet again, or do you think Detroit's like, You know what? We let you off the hook that time. We're going to punch you in the mouth this time. You start. I just started the last three.

[00:35:55]

No, you didn't. No, you didn't. I did Seattle. What are you talking about? I You started Washington. I started Seattle. You started one.

[00:36:03]

Give me the Detroit-Lions camp. I think it won't be as close as that playoff game. I think Detroit is probably one of the best all-around teams in football. Added on their defense, their offense is already amazing. I just don't see how the Rams keep this game tight. So give me Detroit 31, 24. They cover the spread.

[00:36:20]

I'm on Detroit, too. I'm a little bit worried. People are on Detroit, but I'm with you. I'm glad we're in agreement. I'm glad you started because I feel better that we're on Detroit. But I can tell you, all the money is coming in Detroit, Drew. That scares the hell out of me. But I'll take the Lions. I have them winning the Super Bowl as well, but we'll get to that a little bit later on. So give me the Detroit Lioners. Well, I'm not going to tell you who they're going to play. That's part of the deal.

[00:36:42]

All right. The New York football Jets going to San Fernando take on the 49ers on Monday night football. Almost one year exactly from last Monday night football, where Aaron Rodgers tours Achilles on the fourth play of the game because Leonard Floyd was chasing him. Leonard Floyd now on the 49ers. This is another game on Turf. Oh, no, San Fernando, Grassfield. I'm wrong. Kam, it opened at minus six. It's down to three and a half. I know AU may not play, but is he really worth that many points?

[00:37:09]

It's not that. I just think the Jets defense is amazing. I love the Jets in this spot. I think they can win this game out, right? Really? Yeah. And no offense to Niner fan. The Niners are still one of the best teams in the NFC, if not D, but it's just not a good start for them. Rodgers hasn't hurt yet. Remember, he went to Cal, too, Drew. A lot of Aaron Rodgers' support down in California there, right?

[00:37:28]

He struggles against Shani, though.

[00:37:29]

I know that, but I'm just going to tell you, the Jets defense is why I'm taking them, not the offense in this game. Aaron Aar will do enough. And I think San Francisco, if they win between one and three, we're getting three and a half. So give me the Jets. I think it's going to be a very tight game as well. A lot of games within one and four this week.

[00:37:46]

I'm taking the Jets cam solely because it's three and a half. If it was three, I'd go Sanfran. That hook has convinced me to go on the Jets. I think it'll be a three-point game either way. I think it's close. If Purdy and Sanfran blows an out cam, though, I wouldn't be We see Roger struggling because he can't really move in the pocket. And like, Hey, coming off an Achilles injury, have nick Bosa and Leonard Floyd coming at you. It's a problem. If the Jets' offensive line holds up, then they'll be fine. But if they start letting pressure come to Rodgers-How's the under? Yeah, I like the under in this one as well, 43.5..

[00:38:20]

It seems low, but I like it.

[00:38:22]

Yeah, exactly. All right, we're in agreement, both on the Jets. All right, Cam.

[00:38:26]

I don't know if I can get three minerals out of this, though. These games are hard, man.

[00:38:32]

Hard, hard. We can get there. Our gold, silver, and bronze selections. Cam, you want me to start with my bronze? Yeah, you can start, Drew. My Bronze will be the Tennessee Titans plus four and a half in Chicago. I think they win this game outright. Best corner doing the NFL. Caleb Williams is going to struggle in his first start, and everyone's going to be like, What? We had all this hype. I thought he was going to be so good. Surprise. Tennessee wins this game outright. So give me Titans plus four and a half. That's my Bronze.

[00:38:56]

I also like the Titans. If we had four minerals, I'm going to start with my Bronze. I got to do it. Carolina Panthers plus four against New Orleans.

[00:39:03]

I knew that was going to come. I thought it was going to be your gold.

[00:39:05]

It's not gold, but I just had to put it in. But I like Tennessee just as much. It's almost like a split bronze pick. But you know how I feel about New Orleans? I know Carolina is not good people. I know people are going to say I'm insane. I know they lack weapons, but New Orleans is not a good team, and they're very poorly coached. And them laying points at home. I think Carolina comes out and literally can win this game by three. And if they lose, I think they'd lose on a last second field goal. I got actually this line originally was way higher, four and a half, five. Drew didn't open at six. I think it might even open at six. Anyway, it's been bet down to four, four and a half. I wish I got the hook at four and a half, but I'll take the four. Give me Carolina.

[00:39:42]

Let's see if Cam goes three cats in his minerals.

[00:39:46]

No, I will not go three cats.

[00:39:49]

My stiller, Cam, is the Pittsburgh Stealers on the road in Atlanta plus three. I think, again, this team can win this game out. I think Kirek Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons have a slow start to the season. With this Stealers defense coming to town, Tom and this much time to prepare for them. Arthur Smith, Revenge Spot. I like the Steelers in this spot, so give me them plus three as my Silver.

[00:40:06]

I like the Steelers. You know what? I like that pick as well. I don't know. I was going to put it like around the Bronze. There's five or six games that I like, Drew. I'm in agreement of both of your mineral picks. I will take Pittsburgh as well. We'll have the same Silver pick. I didn't know what to do with this. There's a couple other games that I like, but I will take the Steelers Silver. I think they can win this game out right. I love that pick.

[00:40:25]

All right. And my goal is one that Cam does not agree with. We know that because we disagree in the game, is the Kansas City Chiefs minus three on Thursday at football to start the week. I think they absolutely slaughter the Ravens. People are against them. And you're going to be Mahomes to win a game by a field goal? I got to take it, Cam. That's my gold pick.

[00:40:42]

My gold pick is my Seattle Seahawks. I never do this. I think they're going to take Denver out to the woodshed. There's a lot of advantages from the college to the pro-rank that Seattle knows about Bo Nicks. This is not a safe place to travel. I don't care of Sean Payton. I just think Seattle will have all the recipe in this game to destroy them. They will win by... 17 might be pushing it, but I think they win by double digits. Give me Seattle.

[00:41:04]

Cam, I like the confidence in your own team. Usually, when you're- I'm very low. Seattle, it's not a great result, but I like it this time.

[00:41:12]

I like it. No, I'm actually very fair with this team. When I told you they're going to lose and suck. I think I know them. I know when they're going to lose. Not all the time, but I feel... Drew, I'm going to tell you, Mike McDonald will change everything with the defense and the attitude with this team. Pete Carroll was a great guy, but after a while, you don't need a cheerleader. You need a guy who knows football. You don't want to have to be. He looks great for his age, though. I'll give Pete that. Whatever he's doing, he's like the Rolling Stones. The guy's almost 80 years old.

[00:41:45]

Yes, he's a pro. I was like, Dude, just fucking retire. You have so much money.

[00:41:49]

He loves to be there, Drew. He's positive Pete.

[00:41:53]

If I had to have another one, like a penny or a copper, it would be a Cleveland Brown.

[00:42:00]

Other minerals, Drew. So other things that almost made the list, I'm with you. Tennessee looks good to me. They're in your minerals. And what else did we look at? That looks good.

[00:42:07]

You like Cleveland?

[00:42:09]

Yes. Cleveland was... Yeah. Thank you, Drew. That was the other one. If we had Mineral 4 and Mineral 5, and then 6 would probably be the Colts.

[00:42:15]

Fair enough. Yeah, the Colts. That's too tough for me to do that. All right, Cam, survivor picks of the week. Last year, you made it further than I did. I forget what team I'm talking about, but all I know is you made it further.

[00:42:24]

You're going to like this one again, Drew? I'm all in, Seattle. You're going to use them now or are you going to use them never. Seahawks over Denver. Put it in the park. That's crazy. Oh, is that crazy? I think it's crazy like a fox. Hey, buddy, who's going to take Cincinnati? Everybody. So you have to take a teach.

[00:42:42]

I'm not high on the bangles this year, but I know they'll win this one. So give me Cincinnati against New England. I know it's chalk, but I don't care.

[00:42:49]

Don't you want to save the bangles for later?

[00:42:51]

No, because I don't like them this year. We went over that in our previous show. I don't like them this year. I know that. I think they're a bit overrated. People with Cincinnati fans, I'm like, What are you talking about? Overrated. Yeah, a little bit overrated. Give me them as my survivor. Who would you save them to go against? I'm not picking them against anyone in their division.

[00:43:06]

The way I look at survivor is this. If everyone's on one side of New England wins the game, the miracle of whenever, I've already won the survivor pool. I'll take Seattle, please.

[00:43:14]

I thought you were going to go crazy and be like, Give me Carolina.

[00:43:16]

That's just stupid.

[00:43:18]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:43:20]

Yeah, come on.

[00:43:20]

I think the bills are the trap week one because I think a lot of people will be on the bills to avoid the bangles. And it would not shock me if the Cardinals win this football game, so I do not want any part of that. All right, let's get into our Super Bowl pick scam. Give me your NFC representative. I think you spoil them already, but who's that? I did.

[00:43:39]

I like San Francisco and Detroit to meet in the NFC Championship game. And I think Detroit finally gets, if not for Campbell and his stupidity, they would have won that game against the Niners, letting them back in with going for it when they had the game under control. This is the year of Detroit. I know it's a very popular pick. I also have them to win the Super Bowl at 15 to one. It's been bet down to 12. I like the Detroit Lions to represent. This is the big year for Detroit. Everything turns around. Give me the Lions. Restore the Roar.

[00:44:04]

I also like the lions, Cam, but give me them over the Philadelphia Eagles. I think the eagles are going to be back this year. I know I said on our division for you that they have the widest range of outcomes. They could be five and twelve or they could be twelve and five. I think they're going to be more towards the twelve and five. I think they make it to the NFC Championship Game, but they lose ultimately to Dan Campbell and the lions, who a lot of people are off this year. They're like, Oh, last year was their only chance. I was like, I don't know. On paper, they're one of the best teams in football. So give me the lions to make the Super Bowl from the NFC. Now, Cam, Drum roll. Who is coming out of the AFC? And tell me why it's Aaron Rodgers.

[00:44:35]

What? Yes, I'll take the Jets. Actually? Yeah. Oh, wow. I was actually had the bills or the Jets, and the bills always let me down. So it's not a joke.

[00:44:46]

I got the Jets at- You think he survives the entire season?

[00:44:49]

I think they actually do something. They protect them. That's why it's urgent for the Jets to get out to a hot start. So if there's any type of injury or tweak, they could keep them out. But, Drew, you know what it is? And I know it sounds a little bit nuts, but one thing that travels in the cold is defense. And I know the Jets have the best defense. I think Wilson could be one of the best receiver. So it's a pretty Who should be in the AFC Championship Game? Bills.

[00:45:10]

You think it's Bills, Jets, AFC Championship Game?

[00:45:12]

Yeah. That'd be crazy. Or Jets Chiefs. But I don't want... Anyway, you know how I feel. Like, Chiefs fan, it's nothing personal. You've been beating me down for decades, even when the Seahawks were in the AFC West. It's just one of those things I can't take it anymore. Just stop hitting me. I'm already dead. Jets? Jets. Jets over Bills. Yes.

[00:45:32]

Lyons over 49ers.

[00:45:37]

Now, my Niner friends are going to write me evil letters.

[00:45:40]

I'm going with the Chiefs over the Cleveland Browns, baby. I like it. People are low on the Browns this year, and I don't get it because I think they're even better than last year. And we saw Flack was struggling in the playoffs. Listen, the Sean Watson is my comeback player of the year pick. I think he struggled a lot the first year, but he's back now. I know he has some arm's corners, I don't care. He's 16 to 1 win, come up player of the Year. I think if he gets him to the division winner, I think he wins that award. Give me Chiefs over Browns, Kam, and then NFC, I had lions over eagles. In the Super Bowl, I will take the KC Chiefs to three peats. I don't like it. I don't want to see it, but I'm not getting in the way now of the Kansas City Chiefs. I'm going to be super chop. Stop. I'm sorry, Cam. You really hurt me.

[00:46:25]

You and Bagman, now I'm really upset. Both of you guys have turned on me. Give me Lyons over Jets in a wild, crazy defensive Super Bowl. That's going to take Lyons over the Jets.

[00:46:37]

Lyons over the Jets. Can you imagine? It's a former division rival that takes out Rodgers in the Super Bowl. New York media will be losing their minds.

[00:46:45]

Actually, putting the Jets in the Super Bowl is so stupid, but I think they're a good team. If Rodgers stays healthy, that defense will win games for them.

[00:46:53]

With their roster, if they had a different head coach, I would agree with you.

[00:46:56]

I don't trust Solaz. Solaz is a stooge, you're right. He is a stooge, correct.

[00:46:59]

And Nathaniel Hackett.

[00:47:01]

Wow, it's almost like a stooge fan. I don't want to say that Dan Campbell, he's not the sharpest knife of the drawer either. Nice style.

[00:47:08]

Yeah, both of them are just jack defensive-minded guys. Well, I guess Campbell is a tight end, it's more offense, but he's just a crazy leader. I do love Dan Campbell, though. If I played for him, I understand why players are going to run through the wall for him.

[00:47:18]

Oh, I love Dan Campbell. I just think his coaching decisions are... There's no need to go for it every time, bro. You got to understand the situation. I know you get jacked up, but I like Campbell a lot as a human being, but he made some really dumb decisions in the playoffs. That's all.

[00:47:29]

All right, Cam. That does it for week one of the Drew & Sue podcast. Well, the Monday show, we're going to be back on Thursday to give our changes and any props and everything we like. But it's good to be back. It is true. We had a lot of agreement today. I thought we were going to have way more discussion. I think we disagreed on what, four games? That's good. That's good for business. So Mr. Kiberman wasn't a very a big part of the show, but that's fine.

[00:47:47]

But that's okay. That's exactly. We know he's a chief fan anyway. You just know. That's fair.

[00:47:54]

It's fair. Please click like, please click subscribe. Please rate and review on all audio platforms. It helps myself out. It helps Cam. Let Let us know in the comments, what's your favorite pick of the week? And let us know why we're crazy picking the Titans to beat the bears. Kyla Williams is the hero. Let me know that. And that's it, Kam. Any parting words for the audience?

[00:48:10]

No, just have fun. Do what your thing. Listen to you. Don't fall into what others say. And Drew, you could buy points, you could do whatever. I just don't like people telling you how to gamble. Have fun with it. And just, yeah, you do what you do. We'll tell you what we like. And I know we're going to not win every game, but we're going to have a good year, Drew. I can feel positivity this year.

[00:48:29]

Hey, and even if we lose money, we'll still have fun on the show. That's all that matters.

[00:48:32]

You're right. Well, I'd like to win money. Not good for business. You have a family. You got to hit win.

[00:48:37]

I agree with that. All right, everyone. Thanks for joining us, and we will see you on Thursday. This has been Drew and Steo. Follow Drew at producer Drew and Kim at Cam Steward Live. May the winners be yours and all of the best bets hit..
