It's very good. Jacksonville, 2-1, taking on the 2-1 Bengals. This is fun. I mean, these are two very good teams, and one of them's going to be 500 after this. Plus, two pretty ferocious cats, if you, I mean. Kyle has given us the cat stats. Oh, let's have them. Cat stats, a cat fight?

In terms of size, it's clearly the bangle. The bangle tiger's got to be bigger by a lot. By a lot. Up to 350 pounds for a jaguar, 700 pounds for a bangle. The bite force, which I have not researched these numbers. This is purely on Kyle. Underrated stat. He's.

Cats that. Sure. The bengal's got the size, but the jaguar's got the bite force. 1,500 PSI on the bite. Let's talk speed. Let's talk speed. You got a bangle can only get up to about 40 miles per hour. Oh, slow poke. Only. While a jaguars up to 50. Catch me if you can. Can't. Thank you. So who wins at a fight? The tiger. The bengal. Yeah. We tried to make it compelling, but the bangle would win. Wow. There you go.

My goodness. Trevor Lawrence, your start of the week. Bachel Tooting, Jason, your start of the week. Yeah, we won in on this game. And Park, Washington, your start of every week. Play him for Jacksonville. Oh, man. The Brian Thomas Jr., Michael, or Marvin Harrison, Jr., like if you are a rookie from three years ago with a junior in your name, you're going to be talked about at the trade deadline this year because there's more rumors about BTJ. We had rumors about him going to San Francisco last year. They have reemerged.

San Francisco has a potential destination, which if you want to say, hey, how do you save your career? You can go to San Francisco. Yeah, get a good injury severance. I know. That's true. Jacoby Myers is a flexible player this week. And then, you know, the nice thing about the Cincinnati Bengals, it's really easy each week. Joe Burrow, Chase Brown, Jamar Chase, T. Higgins.

and log out, right? Yeah. I mean, there's no team ever easier than the Bengals. You have to start all of them. I mean, it's kind of like it's like Dallas. They're very similar. I mean, you've got play Pickens, play Citi, play Giovante. Would you rather play Jacoby Myers or Keenan Allen? Jacobi. I want this game environment. I want a 51.5 point over under two great offenses and the chance for 70 points to be scored in a game. Okay.

Yeah, yeah. So, you know, keep an eye on. And you don't have to wake up at 6.30 in the morning to watch them. Yeah, well, there are people, Jason, that don't have to wake up at 6.30 in the morning to watch it. Lucky. It's our job. But then they have to stay up until midnight for. And when we get done with our job, no matter how hard it is, we take a shower.

No matter how easy. No, when my contractors get done working on my house, I take a shower. Yes, perfect. I believe we're so focused on a man that just wants to be clean. How clean and comfy. You don't want to be clean and comfy? It's weird, man. I earn that shower. What? I don't understand that. No, I don't know. I'm just having fun with it. Get healthy, Caleb. Yeah. Come back and score 59. He's working on his health. His health and his wellness. He's staying zen. Yeah.

in his robe. Andy can give him all the guffes. He's one of his three. My guys obviously loves Caleb. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm allowed. I'll license to. Absolutely. Make fun of him. All right. The Cardinals, one and two, taking on the two and one New York Giants, Arizona. Favorite on the road by two and a half. That is your, if you want to check in on the James Winston meter, I didn't know that until just now. That's crazy. The overrunners 44 and a half. But I have.

That's why you traded for McCarthy. I have gone so back and forth on this one and been thoroughly convinced that both teams are going to figure out how to lose. But it's like both of their defenses are not great right now. The Giants lost one of their superstars and Brian Burns. But the Cardinals can't get pressure. And if you can't get pressure on Jamis, he will figure it out.

Like he's not that incompetent that if there's no pass rush coming, he will find Malik neighbors. But the car, you're like, well, but they're the Cardinals offense with Jacoby. How do they not outscore the Giants? It's a crazy game. I mean, 44 and a half is not a lot. Jeremiah Love is going to be the story of this game. I mean, he should get pretty much all of the work like he did last week. They talked about it. They said it was just a hot hand.

But his hand is going to be on fire here. The matchup is great. And the fact that you lost Ryan Burns, your defense is beat up. That's usually where you beat the Giants is on the ground. I think that Jeremy Love, you know, he could be the running back five on the week easy. Yeah, I think this is a very significant Vegas line to tell you the story of this game. Like Winston is statistically the worst quarterback in EPA per play in the league so far. So.

It does not give me any confidence. Statistically and visually. Visually speaking, he's the worst. And, you know, for the team to go trade for McCarthy, who's not exactly headline-making talent, right, so far. But that gives me, I like have no confidence in anybody but SCAT on the New York side. Yeah, I mean, the Scataboo start should be good. They're going to give him a billion opportunities. So how far down are you with Malik? Malik or Terry McLaurin?

Let me see. I think it's Terry. No, it is definitely Terry, actually. I think it's Malik here. Last week was, you know, that crazy weather game. What do you have like 30 yards, but five targets. The Arizona Cardinals coming to town, I think, will be a salve for Malik. And I expect Malik to have 10 targets. And if you give Malik 10 targets and you're not in some kind of crazy stormy game against the Cardinals.

There's a good chance that he has a big play. Are you positive that he's the same guy right now when, you know, there was an expectation even of Jackson Dart was here that the beginning part of this season would start slower. I always thought that the beginning part of the season. I mean, this is the normal ramp up that is usual for coming off of an ACL. You know, we said when you drafted him that it would be a slow start, like you said, even with Jackson Dart.

I think the Cardinals' defense is just the difference here. Will they be able to tackle him? I mean, their number one corner, Will Johnson, is gone now. So who's guarding him? Maybe Buda Baker can try to break his ribs like he did, Mike Evans. But take it easy. He also missed a easy tackle on Debo and let him score 80-yard touchdown. To your point about, you know, a big play. But, yeah, I don't personally, like I have neighbors quite at.

quite a ways down the list. Like, I'd play Josh Downs, my start of the week, over Malik Mabors. He's still in my top 24. I'd play Burden. I'd play Golden. Here's the most interesting one. He's at 25 for me. He's at 22 for me. So we're not too far apart. But the most interesting one is on the other side of the field. Michael Wilson coming off of 17 targets. Yeah, easy Michael Wilson. And the Cardinals are favored in this one. They have the better quarterback by a wide margin. I mean, I'm taking the quarterback.

I don't trust James at all right now. Yeah. I think he's going to be okay. He seems like he's not taking football very serious. I think he's so ready to be a broadcaster. He's going to be an awesome commentator or a broadcaster. Wherever he's talking, I'll be watching. He's got to be the sideline, dude. Oh, yes. I don't think you can trust him to talk for the entire game. I think you need him to have these select moments. The sideline, the pregame, the post game.

I think he could be a color commentator. No, that's too much. No way too much. What about like what Booger did? That's the sideline. He rode the Booger Mobile. You can get a Winston Mobile. That's fine. He was actually the color commentator. And then we were like, we got to get this out of the booth. Yeah. And then they put him in the Boogermobile and we're like, we got to get him out of this booker. There is nothing wrong with having a role to play. And I think Winston's rolling in the media will be amazing for the next 20 years.

Seems like we have a difference of opinion, though. I very much believe Arizona wins this football game. I saw. And I believe their offense is much better than the Giants in this game. I saw a stat. I don't have it in front of me. Don't know where it came from. Don't know the specific stat. I don't even know the stat. Stat itself is actually a mystery to me. But it was. Someone find that. It was first read. It was first read targets for Michael Wilson. Could I be thinking? For Michael Wilson and.

Marvin Harrison Jr. And they were shockingly... It was shockingly close. For career? No, no, no. I think it was last week only. And you look at 17 targets for Michael Wilson. So it was like, first read, they looked... So he looked at Marvin. He was like, nope. Like an active no. Yeah, it's like, we're trying, man. You're not. Does he just kind of giggle when he looks over? He's like, oh. I think it might just be... Catch you again, Mar. I think it might be a fake from the get-go.

It's like, it's really just to make defenders go, I'm totally looking at this side of the field. Sake! Michael Wilson. Um, first read target share? No. No, you, the stat that you didn't know where it came from or where it's going. Is this the whole? This was, it looks like last week. Yeah, I thought that's what he was talking about.

That is what I was talking about. I'll find what I was looking at it. So the stats that you didn't know is. You didn't know where it came from, where it was from. It would have been fun. It would have been super fun. Here's a stat I made up. But think about how fun that is. If it was real. I'm going to find what I was looking at. Well, we have to. Because the numbers that we have is 45. I know, but I want to know. 45% Michael Wilson, 18% Trame McBride. 15% Marvin Harrison. I will say this. Did you get by one of those satire accounts again?

We'll find out. We'll find that. I did disagree with the one thing you said yesterday about Michael Wilson, which was like this contention that he's never going to be the first receiving target for Arizona. I think that there's a place where Michael Wilson and Tray McBride really share that at the tippy top of the team's depth chart. I found it. Michael Wilson, like the targets last week told me he could be a number one target.

Yeah, for sure. I found what I was looking at. And it was not a, it was a very great account from Jared Smola. This is why when I said, I don't remember what I see. I prefaced it properly because I was letting everybody know. I don't know what I'm about to talk about. Yeah, yeah. Well, no, because we got to the truth here. That's what we do. Right. Okay. The winding road.

It was a real close first read targets between Michael Wilson and Trey McBride. Oh. Martin, Martin Harrison was down to 9%. So it's basically like, yeah, the offense is not running. They do not care about getting Marvin Harrison. Gotcha. But yeah, I think Wilson is a definitively, like, great start every week. And obviously you play McBride. And a very good wide receiver. And he's very Parker Washington. It turns out that, you know, we. When you're good, you're good?

the fancy time machine where we had, who's this year's Michael Wilson? Right, it's Parker. No, it's Michael Wilson. Oh, yeah. That often happens. I'm like, who is the JSN? Yeah, we just don't believe. I couldn't believe that JSN could have a more perfect season than last year. It just, it was not statistically an outcome that could ever happen. And he's like, yes, I can. Yes, actually I can. I like somebody was saying that this year's Jason is Brock Bowers. And I'm like, based on what I saw in that game,

You might be right. Like Brock Bowers, I played against him last week. I was terrified on every play. And every play is open. And there's no way to cover him. It's a cheat coat. It was the old Kelsey games where you're like, you know they're going to throw the ball to Travis Kelsey. Why is no one guarding him? You can't guard a tight in that's that like that. That's the truth. Who guards him? Buda Baker? You bring the safety down to guard him? It's just so. A linebacker can't guard him. And you don't line up a corner against them because they're too small. Like anecdotally, maybe it's not true. But what I was seeing of like the.

It's like short stuff where he's kind of leaking out a little bit later. And then the defense is like, oh, he did it again. It's not possible. Not Brock, you can't do that again. We're not going. And then the next play, slow, just leak out, turn around. And it's funny because I never, I mean, when have you ever had, you've had these lockdown corners, you know, Patrick Sertan goes up against somebody, they get one catch? When have you had one of the elite of the elite tight ends going to a game and then it's like, we just shut him down? I can't remember. Kelsey never got shut down? Not in his day. Not in his day. Yeah.

And McBride never gets shut down. They just, they're too big. Oh, that McBride. Oh, the face mask. It wasn't a stiff arm. It was a spike. It was, he football spiked the human. Yeah, it was awesome. It was amazing. All right, we got to move on. The Rams 1 and 2 taking on the 2 and 1 Eagles. Vegas line here, Rams minus 3 on the road. So again, that is going on the road to Philly and being favored.
