how it goes uh you can find me on xbom CF but you can also follow Zack there at Z lilot TCF MADD is not here with us tonight but uh he is on Twitter schools1 Zack it's Friday night NFL week one is right I mean it started it started Thursday night there's a game going on right now my Packers are playing football's back baby yeah I don't really understand the Brazil game that makes no sense uh it seems like they weren't even allowed to get out of their hotels um they were on like 10hour flights to get there sounds pretty awful for one football game and I don't know if if you're watching the game but I've got it on right now over here and like the field conditions don't seem great well they're playing on soccer fields yeah that's kind of what I'm saying like I get like they said that Brazil has expanded in the last however many years from 3 million fans to 38 million fans that's why they're doing it it's because they know they can fill up a stadium they they can make money off it but like what are we doing here these are two teams that are hoping to be in the playoffs we're playing and sell out yeah I get it I get but and I hate to be this guy but like send the New England Patriots there they suck send the New Orleans Saints there they want a good team I get that but like it doesn't feel like they do that for England they maybe send one good team every year and there's five games there I guess maybe it's just a first time have they played in Brazil before no I think this is the first one maybe it'll be the last I hope so this is I like I said I get it there's tons of money there but there's money everywhere in the NFL I would be willing to bet if this was two other teams playing I wouldn't care less but since the Packers are playing now I hate it so kind of like you we've talked about in the past when the Bears played over in was it Germany or something yeah I think they could go anywhere and sell out a stadium yeah 100% just because you can doesn't doesn't mean you should right because fans will go to the game me you see how many Eagles fans are there like people are going to travel oh yeah 100% 100% those people in those countries pick a team and you know especially if this is one of the teams they pick NFL fans are crazy people yes you are not wrong how's the weather treating you this week like I said I'm going golfing um at 8:30 tomorrow morning it's supposed to be 45 degrees uh it's going to be dress really warm but then by the end of the afternoon it'll be like a decent 65 yep but in the mornings it's going to be cold and then next week you said back in the 80s so we're in a weird time of year it's a weird time of year like we're not really to fall yet but preall yeah yeah dude I it's been has no idea what to with with itself yeah this week has been absolutely beautiful but like I said I think it's supposed to heat up again next week I will be in Southbend Indiana when this episode comes out here on Saturday for the NIU Notre Dame game I think like like you said Zack 60-ish degrees Um Zack I gotta tell you though I've been talking a lot of trash on Twitter for a guy who knows this team's probably gonna get beat by 50 points oh I mean Notre dangers went to Texas A&M and beat them I I have not uh I should should have taken a step back like I'm going to be 34 next week and I should have taken a step back and realized that I'm going there to cheer on a team that's most likely gonna get 50 piec but that didn't stop me from running my mouth on Twitter if you're Notre Dame uh no offense but they don't really care yeah that you said that some people on Twitter car well that's just the Bots no no these were South Ben troll I think was one of them I got into it with so well that sounds like that's just his job yeah that that is fair but it should be a fun game man I'm excited one those games ni I us going there toct say that they got to play at Notre Dame and uh they're probably getting a million plus dollars to come play so it's a good day for NIU good day for NIU we're going to have a good day so we'll get in a little bit more to that uh here in a little bit uh let's jump in as always sinkers and floaters all right Zack my Sinker this week is the city of Philadelphia and I've been over this a million times I hate Philadelphia um I hate the fans I had a horrible experience there when I was 12 years old the first time we went to uh the Phillies game um but the city of Philadelphia is in it this week because there are rumors going around there's twofold there's rumors going around that the 76ers are looking to move back to New Jersey where they uh were back in I want to say like the 60s that will never happen there's no reason for that I don't disagree but it it's all on Stadium stuff and that's I mean that's part of the that's the biggest reason the Rams mov back to LA you've seen it before a million times but worse than that Zach way worse than losing the 76ers this past week hundreds of people um gathered in Philadelphia this week uh for the 15th annual Philly Naked Bike Ride um and whatever you do don't go Google this folks uh it's not something they all just get public in decency uh I would hope so because this is insane um you are not required to be completely nud it says uh telling people to go as bare as you dare is their tagline um and ride a bike 12 M ride Zack a 12 mile ride naked on a bike that's just excuse me one thing you don't want to do naked is ride a bike that there's there's a laundry list of things you don't want to do naked get on a bicycle is in the top five yeah might be number one it might be but yeah so tough week in Philadelphia um and hopefully their their football team walks away for with a loss that's just a bad idea all around yeah who thought of that I guess people who like to ride bikes naked those people should be put on a list yeah that's just like an easy like okay we got him yeah yeah exactly that's I mean you would think that right but what do I know uh my Sinker is Colorado football I'm over it I'm over this um they beat North Dakota State barely and they had this big party in the locker room big X the plug yeah it's just you just barely beat North Dakota week one maybe don't have a party in the locker room and I know know they're going to say oh just let let the teams have fun I just it fuels the fire of everything and I I think they know what they're doing but it seems like a lot of people want Colorado football to lose I completely with you I was a big Dion fan for a little bit and I have completely flipped to the other side like just Tak far like when I really started to the Denver media that's what I was y he I and I get like like you said man he keeps the team he keeps himself in the headlines like I get it but like you're also insanely annoying and your football team's not good so quit walking around like you know you're the [ __ ] of the Walk here because you're in the Big 12 like enough of it yeah I'm I'm so over Colorado I hope they don't win another game the rest of the season I'm definitely cheering for Nebraska yep I never thought I either one of us would say make that statement but I think we're both cheering for the Corn Huskers this week so at first you're like the first season it's like okay Colorado fun to watch whatever but it just seems like they they don't want to be liked yeah they're they're making it hard to like them yeah and it like you said that TCU game last year was insane that was one of the funnest college football games I've watched in years but now it's to a point how Travis hunter that they lose that game no 100% against North Dakota State Sanders also not very good Travis Hunter though he is so good yes I would agree there completely agree yeah big game tomorrow for the Buffalo and the Corn Huskers um moving to my floater something I talked about earlier uh knocking you know something off The Bucket List uh when this comes out on Saturday not a Notre Dame fan um but getting to go to see a college football game at Notre Dame stadium with my alma moer and the team I've been watching since they were the worst college football team in the country back in the mid 90s um is is going to be pretty sweet so I'll be at the NIU Notre Dame game on Saturday uh possibly just you know doing a little tailgating walking around taking it all in uh and hopefully the Huskies can put up a little bit of a fight yeah good for you I mean that'll be fun yeah and uh you know it's it's turning into a little double-edged uh thing my wife and I's uh 8th anniversary on Tuesday so happy anniversary early to my wife so this is kind of part of our little anniversary present to each other going we got tickets super cheap so I can't complain too much um it' be a good day with some good people there's a lot a lot of people in that Stadium yeah I'm very EXC I mean obviously I've been to a ton of NIU games me and you went to the Northwestern game couple years back but I've never been to a football game outside of an NFL game with this many people that'll be fun I'm excited yep at booming TCF on when you see this I'll I'll make sure to be it may not be for very long what' you say so it may not be fun for very long I I'm a holding out hope if I could I would bet maybe is is gambling legal in Indiana I'm pretty sure maybe as soon as I get across the border little Huskies money line well you might want to do it before just in case I'm not sure I can't do it before because niu's playing in the game oh true well then hopefully you can't that is just still crazy to me yeah um my floater is Backyard Baseball it is back um they haven't really put out uh a date yet but they say in the coming months that was my favorite game and uh hopefully they make it for like PlayStation 4 please um you know it's gonna be on five and not four I know but it's exciting I think that's cool so that's one of the games like I obviously played it a lot with I mean you and my brother you know little over three years a little under four years younger than me I remember playing it with you guys and you guys loved it and I got it it was just kind of one of those like it just just barely missed my age you know what I mean like you guys that was you know it's a cool game and I'm going to be surprised to see how uh they make it into like a PlayStation game or whatever what they keep from before and um it's just something cool like you never would have it's like one of those things you like it's just kind of makes you remind of your childhood but well it also is back but they just keep like every day it's on Instagram they just hint at it just like come on just say it I also think there's something about like the anticipation of it in the sense of like now you start to think about all those games we played at around that age and be like I wonder if they decided to take you know like let's say for example like Twisted Metal you remember how popular that was on Playstation like what if they decided to make that in nextg councils you know like it just kind of gets that or like simp well and they they had like backyard football and stuff if they they could go to that too like if they're going to keep making games like that no for sure I'm excited also cool to think of the current players that'll be in it yeah that is true too I didn't even think thing that they had former players or that or current players then and so you'll see like be cool to see who they pick from Major League Baseball now that is true I didn't even think about that aspect of it I kind of forgot that all those MLB guys were in or a bunch of those MLB guys were in the game at that in that time period so um yeah it'll be interesting so we'll keep people updated we might have to get in on that when that comes out um let's jump into the TCF Sports minute as always um the Cubbies drop one today on Friday the Yankees season's over I'm sorry to say this booming I'm just I'm so mad right now uh those first two losses Monday Tuesday to the Pirates it was over with when they blew that game Monday that was awful was Monday when they blew the lead yeah when they blew the lead in the eighth inning yeah yeah around Tuesday lose five nothing but at least that was Paulk uh but then Wednesday they go out win then you you play the Yankees on a pretty emotional day for the Yankees you would say because they're first baseman was going through all that and then he lose three to nothing yeah so it's over there's no way they're going to get back into this I'm and I don't disagree and like we have a sour taste in our mouth right now because obviously another you know three out of four losses but like here's what I'm saying though they win Saturday they win Sunday I'm probably singing a different tune on Monday but the thing is Braves win a Night five games out so then you got to hope for the Braves to lose yeah or the Mets and it's just get that gets tough and and they're playing the Blue Jays who really aren't that in the they aren't in the playoff hunt so so it's just you got to Hope a lot happens and win I I will say that I mean at least we've gotten to a point where I didn't have to cancel my Marquee subscription you know before a little bit to September yeah and it doesn't matter because even if I cancel now it's still now it doesn't matter now you're in the home stretch anyways yep exactly so it is what it is but you know hopefully I don't know dude I agree but crazier things have happened the Cubs were up three and a half with two weeks left last year and this is just a team that I know just won't make that run because if they would have they would have done at the beginning of the Season yeah they've had some nice Pieces come together I mean good going in the off season knowing what we have um but they they just really let this starting pitching down yes yes they did bullen's been I mean finally starting to pick a couple pieces bpen has been top 10 in the league probably in the last month plus yeah but I'm just saying all season they've kept it together in a way I mean Hector no no the first three months they had the most blown saves in baseball Hector nerys but I'm saying overall dude if you take their overall season they're probably they're doing that pretty well ah I feel like that might you might be right I would like to see the the breakdown of the other I don't know if Ed El and Hector n is they're having a good season yeah you're probably right it just feels like the bullpen was just such a a pain in those first two months and then the bullpen figured out then the offense went cold now the offense gets hot and then it's I don't it's just it it's never all there and it hasn't been all there all year like the offense is I mean what was it 9 nine runs in 10 games or something like that yeah it's a joke and then they turn around I mean St 911 runs uh is like four wins we still need it's just then scored 12 runs randomly it's like what are we doing here yeah yep at least on the other side we'll do a quick uh update here on the White Sox White Sox said at 32 and 110 uh still very much in the hunt for the worst record uh of all time I I feel like it's going to happen I mean they have to win what um 10 more games yeah it's awful yeah I don't see this team winning 10 games between now and the end of September Luis Rober got hurt or Robert sorry I saw that maybe he's just tapping out in the season I would be I would have done it a month ago and really truthfully a lot time to talk about it but I just don't see anything that's going to happen this offseason I'll make them better no no and we talked about they won get better because there's no way they're going to be this bad next year you would think statistically there's no way there's no way do they have two of the worst seasons in a row but even like I think we talked about this on here in if they were to follow the biggest turnaround that's ever been set in MLB history I think it's 36 games so let's say this team wins 36 if they don't or if they match the biggest turnaround that still only puts him at 72 wins that's not a playoff team yeah you know what I mean like that's it's just not there be around 100 losses again next year and that's crazy yeah and with really no end in sight to be completely honest with you yeah they they've had some high draft picks but like they're gonna have to have a lot of pieces hit here and spend some money and they won't do that yeah you're not wrong but Jerry rorf baby um we got to get into it the Bears kick off this season Sunday at noon at home against the Titans we're less than 48 hours away Zack how you feeling I'm excited this is most excited I've been for a playoff or for a bare season and it just seems like it's just taken forever to get to this point but we're finally almost there well it doesn't help that you had your first preseason game like in July well yeah then killing his draft drafted and then it just seems like it's just taken forever but we are here did you see the stat that said something like a rookie quarterback has not won a week one game in the last 24 games or 24 starts does that Sam darnold was the the last win was he the last one yeah I thought I heard that I mean there's going to be a lot of stats like that throughout the season there's a lot of random stats I mean yes that's that's crazy but it's not really that crazy if you think about it usually if you're a number one pick and you're starting the team probably isn't that good yeah that is true the next season the Bears is something that will maybe never happen again where they get number one pick and your team looks like it it does because that just doesn't happen you don't get the number one pick usually unless you're the worst te seven wins yeah you know what I mean so a little different but they'll be ups and downs all right so they're three and a half Point favorite you still think they're covering three and a half I think it's going to be a close game yeah I think three and a half is will be covered it's just crazy to think though like finally they're they're back to the point where they're favored at home yeah it's been a while um over is set at 44 and a half what are you thinking there probably under it's always a weird first game of the year um I feel like the first game of the year is either super high over like they're going to blow it out of the water and each team's going to score it will be a beautiful day though or no one's going to score you know probably perfect temperature for a football game yeah that is true that is true I'm just excited I'm ready for it to start where would you okay so obviously you know we've talked about year and madd's excitement level you know for months now if something goes wrong and they don't play well they walk away with a close loss like where do you think you sit there I'll be all right it's just just depending on how Caleb Williams looks you can tell I know even if he doesn't play well you'll be able to tell if he's ready to be a NFL starter for a whole game we've seen it for one half one quarter but we we haven't seen it for a full game how long do you give before either way where you're like holy cow this is the guy or holy cow this is not the guy I mean you at this point we have no choice like you want to go back looking for another quarterback and God dang I think you just got to give it time too right like you said play amazing but you also could go out there and play average and the running backs have a great game you just gotta see how it goes it's a it's definitely a process and I think that you know you're you're I'm just asking these because you know you're going to see the takes on Twitter like his first interception somebody's gonna be like this is not the guy you know or the first touchdown be like this guy might be the greatest quarterback of all time so a lot of haters oh of course of course um anything else on the Bears before we move on really no I mean it's just time to play the game and You' be a lot more to talk about next week I think you know what I mean because I just think that you've seen the Hard Knocks you've seen all this it's just time to play football and see what what they can do it is feel I got the Packers game on right here and it does feel because you haven't seen the starters play football in three weeks pretty much yeah yeah that's true it has been a while the game starts because you you haven't seen him since the the third game technically a preseason and then no one played in the last one yeah and then they had the week off so yeah it's been a hot minute it is it is a reassuring feeling like I said I got the Packers game on right here to be back where we're like emotionally living and dying on Packers just gave up a deep ball for a touchdown and I'm sitting here I'm like man I haven't haven't felt this in in a while obviously the I know we want more football but the Friday game seems kind of forced Big Time Force big time there's a Saturday game isn't there no it's not a Saturday game that's usually only at the end of the season when college footballs but but also only one Monday night game too which I don't hate I I I don't either but usually they have two yeah it's been at least since Co they've had two so yeah we'll see what happens uh before we finish up the sky have been on a skid here um they've lost like five in a row four in a row uh they're playing in LA right now lot of close games yeah and they still are holding in the last playoff spot but if they keep playing like this it doesn't matter um and I'm all in I love angel reee I love this guy Caitlyn Clark's the Rookie of the Year I'm tired of seeing this argument online this is so stupid Angel ree has set the record for rebounds but let's not kid ourself a ton of those rebounds have come off our own misses you know like I'm not trying to take it away like that those are still rebounds but Caitlin Clark is just a different animal right now we're in the Dennis Ryan Jersey yeah it I I don't know I feel like I see Dennis ran Jersey the what Angel Reese was playing was wearing the Dennis Ryman Jersey I love that I love it how she plays it she scores more Caitlin Clark is just it feels like at times she's just playing a different sport out there yeah but you got chaquil O'Neal at the where do they play at um wi trust yeah Shaquille o' there because of Angel ree so absolutely so um before we move on we got to give a big shout out to our sponsors over at connect roaster coffee they have the best coffee around that you are going to find I promise you that they work with Don Frederick they work with Ian hap so you

check out connect roosters.com so as always a big shout out to our friends over in burbet at Connected roters Zack we got some big college football games this weekend let's go through uh five of the biggest ones that we got listed here the biggest one I think of the weekend Texas at Michigan what do you think I think that Texas is gonna kill but that might just be I hope they do I hate I do too but it's just it's a this is a great game for week two yeah big time these are fun games when teams that usually don't ever play play 100% uh Texas on the road at Michigan's seven-point favorites though that's crazy though I think I would take the number but I think it's gonna be a good game I just don't see Michigan going down without a fight in the big not home I mean that place is just insane I I could be wrong but I I just think they're going to put up at least a bit of a fight there and keep it I'm not saying that Texas is going to lose but I think it'll be like a field goal if they win yep I was kind thinking like a lowc scoring game yep that is true um Kansas State at Tain this is going to be a good one Kansas state ranked 17th in the country remember how good Tain was last year um you know people said if it was a 12 team playoff last year they would have been in I think T Lane is doesn't want this game I agree I know this is at tlane yeah okay we wanted to play some big time teams Maybe didn't yeah you wanted to play a big time team last year I don't think this Kanas state is a Powerhouse organization or power power school yeah you know what I mean they have ways of Nils and stuff I mean they're going to have a good team and tane unfortunately maybe they could have a really good team that could maybe make a playoff but I don't think they want Kansas State especially not in their second game of the year you know maybe you have a season like last year where you have one loss right going into you want to play Kansas State in the first game of the playoff you don't want to play them in the regular season exactly yeah this is tough this is tough I think in Kansas State eight and a half Point favorites I think they're going to cover that pretty easily I think cool a cool game for like if you go to T Lane oh 100% you get a top 20 team in the country coming into you know play you school at home and that's cool but I think it's going to be sad at the end of the day I unfortunately agree with you I would like to see him the the Green Wave pull it off I just don't think they have the Firepower there um a game that's probably going to bore your eyeballs out of your head um Iowa and Iowa State Iowa's a two-point favorite I think the Hawkeyes are going down I don't think I was very good I don't think they are either and I think that Vegas is telling you that by only making them a two-point favorite but yeah this is going to be one of those games where you look in the third quarter it might be 14 to7 yeah yes I agree I think Iowa state is maybe not getting as much love as as they probably should I don't think they played great last weekend but I don't know I'm just kind of over Iowa and I'm tired of watching fo it seems like that's the case with Iowa State it's like well Iowa State's good but it's like Iowa state they're just getting overlooked every year but then they lose a big game right remember they had was it chuba hubard and uh Brock py and they still only made it to you know the Alamo Bowl or something you look back at some of their teams maybe they would have made the playoff in the format that it is now but a lot of teams could say that right and and I also don't think that if they would have made the playoffs and those and obviously anything can happen but like those teams were not playoff caliber they weren't enough good enough to win two games you know and get to a a title game but what do I know um next one I have list kind of a a slower week in the top 25 but kind of local kind of not uh Kansas goes to Illinois Illinois only a four and a half Point dog against a very good Kansas team I think it's the same thing as tane I I disagree game I think Kanas is gonna beat him pretty bad I don't think Kansas is as good as they were last year I know but dude that's and Kansas barely beat Illinois last year if I remember correctly so it's one of those ones like a a home and away yeah and it's another one it's cool Kansas going to Illinois that's a cool game and I also think Kansas and Illinois play like this is not they have a home and away thing but they play quite a bit they're very football programs yeah a big game for them but still it's just like Kansas every year you want them to be like okay they're a football school now but it's just like it's hard yeah I agree I I just think I I don't even like Illinois but I hope they win this game you know what I mean yeah it's a cool game is like if Illinois they especially with almost winning last year it's almost like a rivalry if you play that many times well and and let's not beat around the bush Illinois did not look great against Eastern Illinois who's a very average onea team because with the facility that Illinois has now they had to beat teams like Kansas if right they have to beat Kansas because they're never going to beat Ohio state they're never going to beat Michigan Illinois hey people who maybe are looking at scholarships you come to this game yeah because yeah you don't want to conference the conference games are going to be tough yeah absolutely uh and the last one that I had listed um Tennessee number 14 Tennessee heads to NC State who's ranked 24th Tennessee is minus 9 I think they're going to cover every bit of that because I think they have the best quarterback in the country yeah but minus nine on the road still is crazy I mean that's a lot of respect NC State did not look very good against um well no I can't remember who they played that's over a touchdown win on the road I don't know how to pronounce the kid's name but Nico imala kid's a stud I think he's the best easily the best quarterback in the country if if you ask my opinion but uh yeah NC State struggled with Western Carolina last week you think that after one game dude this kid I mean granted he played a little bit last year at the end of the season but this kid is what do you have last week like three let me look it up here real quick he had he was 22 of 28 for 315 yards and three touchdowns and didn't play the third quarter that's crazy he might not have even played the second half but n like you said nine is a lot of points yeah on the road I give you that I will give you that A ranked opponent that is true all the other games I mean a lot of seven spre first few weeks something like Alabama's playing some horrible teams usually and yeah Alabama's playing South Florida I mean Old Miss is playing Middle Tennessee it's like if you're not playing a ranked opponent you're playing just somebody horrible yes that uh Georgia is minus 53 and a half in their game um who do they play Tennessee Tech who's W doublea see honestly the closest spread I think I'm seeing here Georgia Tech minus three at Syracuse see that's a respectable line I mean on the road still minus 9 is crazy yeah that's that's should be a good game I still don't think Georgia Tech's very good and Syracuse I might take Syracuse money line there I don't hate that they're they're due for a few big wins every year yeah and Georgia Tech's little you know still living off that week zero win but should be an interesting week and I did find out Zack uh Notre Dame is minus 28 tomorrow against the Huskies so got cover point it's a lot of points Boomie over they over is 44 and a half so I you're GNA take if you're gonna take if you take Notre Dame you might as well take the over I think if you're yeah yeah I 44 and a half still seems I don't think NIU is gonna win this game 18 to 15 no I think they're going to score at least a little bit especially if for some reason however if they win by 28 they're going to probably let Illinois uh NIU score at some point yeah but I also think that and or Notre Dame still if they are going to cover the like they're going to try that over looks really good because I think they're going to try and put up 50 60 points they might be able to maybe I'll just do that when I cross into Indiana and just throw throw as much as I can on the over if we're correct exactly uh let's move on we got a new team Builder this week uh as you can tell me and Zach big food guys if you haven't noticed by some of our drafts uh so we are doing $9 worth of sides here uh Zack's going to throw it up on the screen there it is uh the $4 row baked potato mozzarella sticks and cheesecake the $3 row Hush Puppies fries fried pickles the $2 row mac and cheese keloth fried okra and the $1 row green beans corn on the cob and broccoli do you want to go first and spend your $ n Zachary yes I would all right let's hear it you know what I'm going nothing in the top row for sure I'm going fries fried pickles for six bucks and then I'm GNA go mac and cheese corn on the cob $9 I don't hate what you did there at all but you see like that top row I'm just not a mozzarella sticks fan see I am gonna completely disagree with you here I'm going mozzarella sticks uh give me the fried pickles I wish I could take hush puppies but fried pickles gives you more value I feel like at $3 I love hush puppies but those should probably replace fried okra in the $2 menu um so let's see I'm at seven get the bottom row out of here green beans stink broccoli stinks corn in the cob I do like however chill out but give me the mac and cheese I'm Gonna Keep it nice and simple mozzarella that's a great side platter an appetizer platter mozzarella cheese that mac and cheese looks yummy dude I'm saying like that I if if a restaurant offered that as like their sampler platter I'd be all in and I would gladly something like BDubs would have 100% had the little cup of mac and cheese sitting there on the side have you ever had fried okra is my question no pretty solid it's definitely a southern thing um I don't dislike it it's it's similar to fried pickles without never had Hush Puppies either oh dude what you've never had Hush Puppies I don't think so what's a hush puppy back you never went to Long John Silvers as a kid I definitely did with your dad when we were um State basketball that's what I'm saying I figured you'd had them there they were with every meal oh no I love hush and also I'll go I'll go ahead and say it Long John Silvers gets a lot of hate for something that's pretty darn good I'm tired of the Long John Silvers hate those fish I don't eat fish [Music] so what can you do I love Seafood on it just don't need fish those those fish planks were something else and I'm tired that people just rag on it all the time and those a lot with your dad yep absolutely he was a a big uh well had Fridays we couldn't eat meat so we always have to go there that is true always go there right between the two sessions for State basketball Zack it is time it is the return of a my favorite segment uh of the show that we probably do in general uh it is the NFL pick show we are in week one so let me run through this we started this during covid in 2020 um so our standings I won in 2020 I also won in 2021 Matt won in 22 Zack won in 23 so I'm probably gonna win it this year so that'll move me to three wins if not these guys tie me for the all-time lead um so if you haven't seen this before haven't joined us before um we picked two of the noon games two afternoon games the Sunday night game and the Monday night we're just picking spreads here no over unders no none of that so uh Zack do you want to start off with your noon games oh we're not doing spreads no we're just doing spreads not over unders oh okay sorry um Bears minus four an home vers Titans and then uh the Texans minus three at Indianapolis I think the Colts are not going to be very good this year I have no faith in Anthony Richardson I love Anthony Richardson and also a divisional game on the road I'm not going to take that game because there is a lot of question marks there with Anthony Richardson coming back from the injury um however I am going to go the opposite of you give me the Titans I think four is a lot of points to cover um with a rookie quarterback I think there's and I know everybody's excited and as you I don't dislike will Levis he seemed like a nice guy I I I think will Levis is kind of been forgotten about in the most part of are the Titans already in Chicago or do how long out do you get there usually you get in Friday but it all depends like I know when the Packers come to to Chicago they come in on Saturday so fly I'm guessing they fly oh yeah yeah yeah 100% even the Packers fly into Chicago so that's crazy and it's only two hours but I just think they in the air for uh are you talking about when Green Bay comes to Chicago yeah they in there for like 10 minutes maybe 30 minutes that be wild maybe yeah it is kind of crazy um I just think that's a lot of points for a rookie quarterback and and like I said I'm not trying to poooo everything but like he's it week one of the regular season is going to be a lot different than the preseason and I just think that it's I feel like they are a better football team but I think it's going to be close and I think whoever wins this is going to win by a field goal either way so I will take the underdog there um I am also going to go I I don't I hate that I'm going to do this but New Orleans minus four they're at home and I still think Carolina is at least two years away um if not more if not more but um I think New Orleans being at home the Dome got renovated this past summer if you haven't seen I think that they at least have a little bit more veteran experience than Carolina does Carolina's so young they have you know there's talented guys there and I think that Bryce young has to have a good year I think he will be better this year than he was last year but that's not saying much yeah they're projected to be like the second or third worst team in the league that's what I'm saying and having to go in there in into New Orleans I I just I don't think that the Panthers have it I could be very wrong but I will I'll go ahead and take the Saints minus four Maddie has the New York football Giants uh at plus one and a half and they are hosting the Minnesota Vikings I think he's probably going with the uh the home dog there and also uh Sam darnold starting doesn't doesn't hurt and Maddie also has the Bengals minus 8 and a half at home versus the Patriots I don't know seems like a sneaky Sam darnold plays really well game yeah I you'll forget he's throwing to Justin Jefferson yeah you're not wrong I think there are a ton of weapons on that Vikings team but dude I think I got I also think that the Giants are not gonna be as bad as everybody thinks know like maybe like second round is when I got Justin Jefferson which is crazy that is wild that is wild uh moving to the afternoon games who you got buddy I got bucks minus three and a half at home against the commanders um I'm really high on Baker Mayfield this year and I just think Jaden Daniels on the road first game of the season that's tough I'm happy that Caleb Williams is playing at home that is true I think that I we've talked about this a million times I'm such a baker Mayfield fan it's that that still got M decent team the the Half Point hook there does scare me because I feel like this is a field goal game if Washington is what everybody thinks they could be but that relies on Jane Daniels and they didn't make that many changes in offense yeah yeah you're not wrong who else you got uh Cowboys plus two and a half at Browns um I'm just I don't think the Browns are gonna be good this year and I just I want deshun Watson not to be good too we are um so you and Maddie are on the exact opposite sides madd's got uh the uh commanders plus three and a half and the Browns minus two and a half here um I actually also have the Cowboys I don't understand how the Cowboys are dogs here I'll say it that's crazy I'm taking money line for sure everybody has it in their brain because they struggle so much at the end of the season but like I feel like Dallas has enough weapons to beat Cleveland's not that much better than that I'm paper like don't get me wrong I don't think deak Prescott's a good playoff quarterback but like DeShawn Watson has been absolutely terrible for the last four years or what three years whatever been since the you know the lawsuit and stuff but I know it's on the road but I just don't think that Dallas is two and a half points worse than Cleveland I just don't see I will take them plus money all day I'm gonna be make a stupid pick here um I am going to take the uh Denver Broncos plus six they on the road at Seattle in B Knicks I trust I think this Denver team is going to be much better than people anticipate um and I also think that Seattle without Pete Carrol is going to be worse than they have been oh yeah I think they've been living off of his uh enthusiasm not even enthusi the guy's a football sa I mean the guy's been doing this for 40 years well yeah it's just it's got to be such a different atmosphere now exactly like you said energy goes a long way there I I just don't I guess I'm just putting more trust than I probably should into a rookie quarterback in BO Knicks and and Shawn Payton but I think they're going to at least keep this close I don't know if they're going to win this game but I think it's going to stay close um Sunday night yep uh Detroit is minus four and a half I am going to take the Lions minus four and a half at home against the Rams dude I think this is gonna be an amazing season for the Lions and um four and a half at home is not bad for them it's going to be regression they peaked last year give me the Rams plus four and a half I think the Rams are going to be sneaky pretty good this year J gol ain't getting any younger I think the Rams Matthew Stafford my friend you're not wrong you're not wrong now you're gonna say that that's the wrong quarterback to be cheering for oh I still think even regression wise I'd still trust Matthew Stafford more than Jared G no I'm just saying you said you're just saying he's getting older well so is mat yeah that's fair that's fair I don't know I just I just see it might just be mild brain and knowing how bad the Lions have been my whole life like I just don't see them being good and successful two years in a row other than to be in the division I would like them to be good ah uh Monday night uh we've got the Jets going to the 49ers 49ers minus 4 and a half what are you thinking 49ers minus 4 and a half is what I'm taking this this Jets team is in shambles right now oh they are not they are not they are not nonsense I'm not even saying it's just a quarterback I'm just saying all together I don't think it's just a good coaching staff so um I just think overall there this the Jets are just not g to be as good as they want to be this year and the 49ers come out early at home I always I like the the two Monday night games honestly I kind of I I know I said it earlier I could go either way but I wouldn't hate two Monday night games it's just like oh there's two games and yeah I I'll take the Jets plus four and a half I think this is just make or break for so many people um well yeah he's only got a few years left Aaron Rogers if it doesn't go well I think Sal's out so yeah yeah I don't I I'm I also just the 49ers can't stay that good for I mean KD's not getting any younger all their their weapon I know maaf they got all their weapons back yeah mcaffry is banged up right now he's got a he's a questionable I think so then they give the ball to Debo Samuel yeah it'll be it I think it'll be a good game and I think that's what there's a lot going on here is Hassan reck still not gonna play I don't know like that's the same thing with Jamar Chase is he going to play He's listed as Reserve DNR contract dispute yeah Christian mcaffrey questionable with a calf did not know that you cannot buy a Marvin Harrison Jr Jersey yeah that's so stupid that whole Fanatics nonsense has been ridiculous you guys dodged a bullet not taking him I also think yeah he his dad signed his name or something on the contract oh really I did not see that uh sorry I forgot to update everybody on Sunday night madd's got the Rams plus 4 and a half and the Jets on Monday night plus four and a half um so yeah make sure you check in we'll update everybody next week what's going on there uh py hasn't sent his picks in yet so um and we we'll definitely have a full breakdown next week of every game definitely we'll do a recap and then we will look ahead to the following week's games let's wrap things up like we always do Zack we've got the TCF top three college football stadiums this is one I feel like we've done in the past we had to have we've been doing TCF top threes for five years now so this has to be one that we've done and with my trip tomorrow or today when this episode comes out to Notre Dame Stadium uh we've got the top football stadiums do you want to go first yes I will go first and it is Tiger Stadium LSU I would love to go there with just a bunch of bunch of friends just seems like an awesome atmosphere yeah that's hard to argue with especially on a night game I hate LSU with a burning p I I don't I don't have a college football team and I really don't care I like watching it but I don't really like have like a real rooting interest so I think it beol to go there I will take the swamp I everybody knows I'm a Florida fan but like I think that even up though what's it actually called uh Ben Hill Griffith stadium is he like a guy who spend lot of money there yeah something like that um but I'll take the swamp first round I think that I don't know Zack you you admit that's probably one of the top five I probably wouldn't want to go there but if you're a big fan of it I can see why wait you don't you wouldn't think that that's like a top five top 10 stadium in college football I'd say it's top 10 yeah top five but I wouldn't personally I wouldn't want to go too hot yeah just Florida yeah I'm not really a fan of Florida in just the whole state in general when I get old I'm not going to Florida yeah well we'll have to keep doing the show via this because I might I love Florida I'd rather go to like somewhere where it's a little bit cooler n as hot as it can be um I I hate doing this but the big house at Michigan I gotta take I mean it's it's 105,000 people um I will go with Kyle Field I was watching the um busting with the boys they were there and they did like a tour of that place is amazing we actually were talking about this last week behind Michigan is it the most capacity no it has more than Michigan we looked it up oh it does yeah um or yeah I think we looked it up me and me and my brother last weekend Michigan's like historically listed at like 105,000 Kyle Field was like 108,000 or they said about they'll get like 110 withstanding yeah that's crazy two get a they have the um like 12 Suites pretty much I think they said you have to donate a million dollars oh and you had to be signed up for at least three years my only complaint is is Texas A&M is like a weird cult school it's still a cool Stadium yeah the additions they've done there have been pretty insane and then I will go for I get to go my last one right yep [Music] um let's see trying to think where I want to go with this you know what I'll go with it um Ohio stadium dude that place looks insane too yeah it's hard to argue with it's one of those things I want to go with like just the atmosphere too oh for sure and they've been so good for so long it's what what more can you say you know so many wins there uh my last pick I'm so torn right here um give me I hate him but Clemson has to be in the conversation Death Valley the original Death Valley that LSU stole from them oh yeah with the the hill that they run down I hate I hate Dao Sweeney but that's a hell of a stadium the problem is you got to the problem is you got to H you got to go there and dabos running down there like he's a player yeah yeah I was I wanted to say that but I just hate dabos so much say it honest that's probably top five top 10 my fourth pick would have been like Boise State I love the original blue Turf that everybody Rose bow Stadium would be sweet yeah I also had Oregon on my list I've always liked their Stadium K Stadium where I I walked by probably about 50 times never went into y That's a good one too um I've been to um the one at Wisconsin that's pretty solid place um Oklahoma Memorial Stadium appalachin State the one that's like nestled in the forest that one's up there that's insane Oklahoma plays would be pretty sweet yeah I don't disagree have you seen the pictures of uh I think it's actually Appalachian State's baseball stadium is has a cooler background than their than their football stadium but uh that's ones that that's up there actually BYU is another one I probably would have put close to that list because it's got like the mountains in the background you know um but then again it's BYU so um there's a ton we missed here but what can you maybe a lot of stadiums for top three absolutely um let us
