00:00You know, there's another compelling game this weekend,
00:02and that's Jacksonville and Denver.
00:05Is that something that you're looking at this weekend?
00:07Denver didn't have a really good performance in that opener against Kansas
00:11City, and they gave up a boatload of points to Kansas City at Arrowhead here.
00:16And this Jack's team, I don't know,
00:18Liam Cohen's done a pretty nice job with Trevor Lawrence.
00:20Lawrence got out to a pretty nice week one here.
00:23What do you look at with this ball game?
00:25He did.
00:26The unders kind of got my attention here.
00:28You saw it on the screen there, listed at 45 and a half,
00:31which implies that both these teams are going to be flirting in the mid-20s,
00:34you know, low to mid-20s.
00:36I don't think this Denver defense is a problem.
00:39We saw Kansas City pick them apart with the run game.
00:42Mahomes gets there with his legs, all that good stuff.
00:44But maybe that was just Andy Reid being in his bag,
00:47having a quarterback that's more healthy than we thought he'd be.
00:50Now you get a short week.
00:51I don't love that.
00:51And this Trevor Lawrence offense, ever since they picked up Jacoby Myers,
00:54is one of the five best in the NFL.
00:56I think there's a lot to like here, but the defenses on both sides are viable.
01:01I'm not really overwhelmed with what either team can do running the ball.
01:05So if you're telling me that these defenses get predictable offenses,
01:08to me, that's a defensive script.
01:11I see something in the neighborhood of 23-20, 23-17,
01:15something like that in either direction.
01:16I could see either team winning this game,
01:18but I'm going to end up under the total.
01:21You know, I can't believe I'm saying this this early part of the season right now.
01:25I mean, I'm in week two of the NFL season here.
01:28Is this a must win for the Cowboys against the Commanders?
01:33Oh, man.
01:35Yeah.
01:35Yeah, I guess it is.
01:37I think they get it done here.
01:38I do think this is a fun game, though.
01:40If there's going to be a game that shoots out a little bit,
01:42I think this NFC East battle is something along those lines.
01:46If you want, you know, I mean, it's Dallas, right?
01:48Everything's bigger in Texas.
01:50The pressure gets ramped up if you look bad in consecutive weeks,
01:53all that stuff, especially against divisional opponents like this.
01:56But I think they get it done.
01:57This Washington defense doesn't show me, hasn't shown me anything.
02:00And the Dallas defense, they got a lot of hype this preseason.
02:03And then they were just awful, right?
02:05Jackson Dart completes all 17 of his short passes against them in week one,
02:09under the bright lights, in primetime, all that stuff.
02:11I think they're going to be better.
02:13And that doesn't even mean average.
02:15They just need to be not terrible.
02:16If they're not terrible, they get it done here.
02:18Jaden Daniels, awfully interesting DFS play, awfully interesting player in general.
02:23But I do think Dallas is too much here.
02:25The run game gets it done.
02:27Real quick here, Colts and Chiefs.
02:29That's a pretty compelling game, too,
02:31because I do think that the Colts can run the football.
02:33And already 0-1, I thought they'd do some damage.
02:36Again, it's an early sample size here.
02:39But Kansas City and the Colts, who do you like in this one?
02:42Yeah, this one's interesting to me,
02:44because I don't think Kansas City is as good as what we saw on Monday night in week one here.
02:49Indy has the serum here to kind of do what they need to against the Chiefs.
02:55If you run Jonathan Taylor, melt the clock, and limit the possession count,
02:59I think they can hold their own.
03:00I like them to cover this game.
03:01I don't know if they win outright in Arrowhead on Sunday night football.
03:05That's a big ask for Daniel Jones, who I don't think is 100% healthy.
03:08But I do think this one's tight and comes down to the wire,
03:11not the way Kansas City was in week one.
