NFL Week 1 Picks: Can Broncos Upset Chiefs? Are Cowboys Super Bowl Contenders? Is Joe Burrow Back?

The episode of the NFL locker room podcast kicks off with a lively discussion on Week 1 matchups, featuring betting strategies, team evaluations, and personal picks from hosts including Clay Matthews and Delaney the Mule. The group operates under a unit-based system: each participant receives 10 units to distribute across six games, plus one unit for a personal parlay, emphasizing strategic risk management and momentum building. Key games include the Buccaneers vs. Bengals, where the defense is seen as improved with new additions like Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen; the Ravens vs. Colts, with optimism about a defensive resurgence; the Packers vs. Vikings, where the Vikings' defense and Kyler Murray are highlighted; and the Cowboys vs. Giants, with strong confidence in Dallas' offense and defense. The hosts also touch on broader themes like self-care, solo travel, and mental health through featured podcasts, while reinforcing the importance of staying adaptable in the unpredictable early NFL season. The tone remains energetic and grounded, blending football analysis with personal perspectives, community engagement, and responsible gaming messages. The episode concludes with a strong focus on accountability, growth, and the confidence that comes from starting strong—despite early season uncertainty.

Welcome everybody to the NFL locker room week one. We did our futures episode last week, but it is always going to be the same for crew. We got Delaney the Mule Walker in the building today.

You be the decider of who's gonna do the best this season. Drop a comment. Let's have a great time. Big hug standing kisses. (upbeat music) (buzzer) (upbeat music) Touchdown. (upbeat music) This is an I Heart podcast, Guaranteed Human. On the new podcast, Solita, we share the messy reality of traveling alone as a woman. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. I choose option B. I'm Julie Pignero and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word Solita, trading the pity for possibility. Listen to Solita on the I Heart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So would buy azer rather than at least 70% have a phone. I'm Dr. Joy and this is Therapy for Black Girls. We spend our surviving middle school run getting into what's happening inside your kids brain, the group chat and their friendships and what you can do about it. Your child is not doing this on purpose. That's the kind of perspective we've been pulling from the psychologists and psychiatrists who study this for a living. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls on the I Heart radio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcast. Self-care September is your reminder to slow down, check in with yourself, get off your phone and maybe ask why am I like this? I'm Gemma Spek, host of the Psychology of your 20s podcast, and this month we're helping you make sense of the person that you are becoming from setting boundaries and navigating friendships to understanding anxiety, confidence, relationships, and attachment. Sometimes our biggest decisions, without us even realizing it, aren't driven by what we truly want, but by what will prevent us from feeling lonely or being alone. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the I Heart radio app, Apple Podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Our hometown is not a test tube. 90 miles northeast of Nashville, a battle for the future of America plays out in one small town. Developers with right wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land. We need cities on a shining hill. This is our town, a podcast about what happens when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment and fights back. Guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to our town on the I Heart radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Is there an epidemic against literature? More specifically, Black literature. I'm Jack Wiespiece Thomas and on this season of the Black Litts podcast, we're outside asking why? They don't want a whole bunch of little elevators, Malcolm X's and Martin Luther King's on the route. And when you look at a lot of different cultures, feel like we need to know where you came from. And considering this is Black Reading Month, the only real question is, what are you reading next? Listen to Black Litt from the Black Effect podcast network on our I Heart radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

It doesn't matter which team scores. Every touchdown can mean more bonus bets coming your way. Download the app or visit fandals.com/busson to get started. Bellis, God, it's good to be back. - We are officially like full capacity, full throttle on football. Last week we got a cultural ball. Now we put NFL in it. It's just, it's a great time to be alive. It's a great time to get after it this football season. And I couldn't be happy with my three fellas. - Yeah, man. - Clay. - Here he is, man. - In Australia. - In a week one of the NFL season. And he goes to foreign soil. - Yeah. - We are. - Yes, dude says he got a letter from Trump. Goes to foreign soil. - Look at you, man. - Look at him. - It's not how I would handle my business, but yet here we are. - Every week too, we're gonna be doing callbacks. We're gonna be doing a lot of giveaways. Before we get started, the Ford leaderboard. Here's how the entire operation is gonna work. Every week the boys are going to get 10 units to use on the slate. There will also be one extra unit to use on a parlay that we build of our choice. Every week 10 units on the slate and then one little simple unit to build our own parlay. The Ford leaderboard will show you who's in a lead, who's behind, if you watch the college football show, I lost 11 units last weekend. Tyler and Pete were up. I feel good. - Yeah, it's a nothing bird 'cause it's week one. - Yeah, yeah. - And there's a Laney Walker showed us anything. It's not how you start, it's how you finish. - And it's all a unit base. So even if I'm down 11 units, you can make big swings and get back in the game. - Right, yeah. - That's the thought process, dude. Don't think about how down you are. Keep swing, keep swing. Just keep going, no matter what. You went to school this off season. How are you seeing the board this weekend? - I think I see it clearly. - Yeah? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm on point right now. I think everything I'm about to give you guys are hitters. - Really? - Yeah, yeah. - I think our gentleman right here, Pete Golding and Joy are on X, the Mule is back. - You gotta feel good. - I gotta feel great, you know what I mean? When I see those comments about the Mule and I'm trusting in me and following my lead, I mean, like at the end of the day, this is what I do. - That's what you do, this is what I do. - It's ain't the only thing you're gonna be doing, though, you got your Titans pod coming out. So just, I know you were on bus and talking about it, but also in the locker room, you're not only gonna be operating playing 5D chess, you're also gonna be hosting Titan's podcast all year long. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, that too. - That too. - So people of the Mule, then go check you out. Where do you find that? - I find the Titan's pod. - You can find it on Titan's radio, and then you can go to teniseetiton.com and you can find that teniseetiton.com. - Sure, and that's the Asian websites are very, very important. - And then you know, you can tune in at six o'clock, like I said, on Titan's radio. Yeah, you'll hear myself in a two special guest. - It'll be on there today, too. - Special special guest. - Special special one. - For episode one, man, I'm excited to have you guys on there. For episode one, I think that tradeoff is just perfect. You know, I was y'all first episode. Hopefully y'all crush it like I crushed y'all pods. (laughing) (clapping) - It was, he got us off the map. It also got us in a lot of trouble. - A lot of trouble. - A lot of trouble. - I took a lot of heat for that. But it was worth it, though, right? Wouldn't you say? - Oh, can this not look at John Bell? - There is no fuss with the boys without Delaney Walker. - I mean, Clay would say off my back. (laughing) - Are you with game day? Like, this is your game, your first podcast coming out. What are your nerves like? 'Cause I know for me and Will, like what, the first 20 episodes, we call each other every time we're going home, much of a cut. Is this okay? You think this is all right? - Yeah, I'm nervous about just because, again, like you guys started your own pod. Y'all got to create that identity, right? The identity I already have is Titan's identity. So I have to be well-rounded in that aspect of understanding that I can't say too much that I get me in trouble. So I'm a little nervous with that, just 'cause you guys know me, people out there, y'all know the Mule, I just say whatever, and I hope this shit sticks. So, yeah, yeah. - That's what the editing is for. - That is a good one. - I don't want editing. That's why it's called Titan's Uncut. You know, we don't want editing. - Ooh! (clapping) - Hey, there's one there. The live audience absolutely loves it. - I love the live audience. - I love them. - How do you feel about the Tennessee Titans this year? How, what are your thoughts? - I feel good about 'em. I actually feel good about my-- - They're not being spoken about on the show. They're not picking their gaming as the Jets. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel good about 'em. I think we have a really good cast of guys. I think that if they can play together and just really buy into the philosophy, I think they can be a good team. - Well said. - Sounds like a guy that's still playing on the team. They're not on the slide. They are underdogs, five and a half. Is that one that you're-- - No. - Is that under parlay? - Oh no. - No. - This week one parlay is an easy hitter. Mine is a layup. I've just got to, you know, get your feet wet. It's like, you know, right when you know winter is coming and you want to take a dip in the pool, but you just, you got to touch it first to see if the heater been on. If it ain't been on, you know, it's cold. So I'm trying to see if I got a cold one or I got a heater coming. - So you're saying this week one hit. (laughing) - So this week one slate, you got a layup coming. You feel really good about it. - I feel really good about it. - But we're gonna just dip our toe. You're not gonna dive right now. - I'm dipping my toe in for the new-- - He feels good about his philosophy. - Yeah, so look, the new watchers who are joining this show and it's like, man, I really like the meal. I really want to see what he's all about. I'm getting them accustomed to me. So I'm gonna give them like, let me just, let me nibble in this. - Yeah, you have to pull back the full curtain. - No, not yet. - You should show them. - You know how I do it. - Show them a little leg. - Week 10, I just started hitting them. - Them slappers. - Yeah. And it's smart too 'cause your history is start very slow. - Very slow. - Like molasses. - Very slow. - And I know this. - But then you speed up. So you're just playing your own strengths and weaknesses, right? - Yeah, I told you, I went to school. I just really figured it out. - You know what I'm saying, that's cool again? - Yeah, that's cool. - Yeah, that's cool. - I can't pronounce it. - Can't pronounce it, but they taught you a lot of stuff about it. - Yeah, it's cool. - Yeah, man, you know what I was going on? I was finding these schools and I'm like, "Damn, how you say this school? Like I knew it was gonna be a problem." - Yeah, how you say it? - I don't know, I didn't go to the school. - Kinesias. - Kinesias. - Kinesias. - Yeah. - They gonna say we said it wrong though. People gonna say we said it. 'Cause they actually message us the school, the university. - Did they? - Yeah. - They're saying. So in the comments, they said we are a real school. We can vouch for that. - Oh, he can vouch for that. There he is. - I don't blame you on the pronunciation. I can't pronounce it. - I can't pronounce it at all. - I'm just bad with it. - Comes the names of the stuff on the table. When I committed to Michigan at a high school, Dave Ziggler laughed at me and said, "You probably can't even spell Michigan." And then I actually remember the eye in the middle, which is kind of a sneaky eye. - That's for real. - He can. - And my S H. - But see. - What? - M-I-C-H-I-G-N. - See, Will was a scholar going high school. See, me and you, we Arizona, California, you know, the schools are-- - You tell me, you say in Bonter, Missouri is a scholar? - He was. - He was saying like, I was a scholar. - He was a scholar. - Yeah, well, and now you want to shit on Bonter, Missouri. That's crazy. - He's talking about like, what are you talking about? - When he started bringing up the stage, I got the Bonter, I'm proud to come back. And he's like, well, he grew up. And it's like, everything Will's told me about Bonter. It's not a scholar town. That being said, you are a scholar. - Wow. - And stands for knowledge. - Top 10% of my class. - Okay, come on. - Yeah, I'm just questioning the class. I'm not questioning Will. I'm just talking about the class. - A honor role. - A honor role? - Yeah. - The honor role. - What was your GPA? - In high school? - Yeah, in high school. - Like 10.4. - What the heck? - I don't want to be in South America. I'm having a bag of television. - What is that? - It was out of 11 at our school. - What do you mean? - What if 11? - It's no such thing. - It was a no such thing, bro. - You don't like it to monocene school. You smile your faces and brown your face. - No, no, no, no, no. - So, no, we had hours, different classes all the time. That's it. - Wait, wait. - He said 10.4. - Wait, wait, wait. - He went to Nebraska and they said, "Yo GPA, what's 10.6?" - High school, my GPA was like a 10.6 out of 11? - I mean, when they took it, no. - It's a good score. - That's a good score. - I don't know. - I've never heard of it. - Hopefully the comments can help me, because I have never in my life heard of a GPA being described. - Who told you that? - Okay. - I did. - So far on how this conversation started. - If that was the GPA in high school, that equates out to like 385. - There we go, 385. - So is that high school? - Not calculated it. - In college, I was on the four scale. - Yeah, so how you calculated it in high school is. - Well, I was 11. - Oh. - There we go. - No school. - I promise. - Does not use the GPA. - Dude, dude, back in '08. - Yeah, yeah. - Like, dude, he's checking. - Just open back in '08. - Quick break from the episode. Quick break from the conversation. Again, make sure you are subscribed to this channel. Make sure you're dropping comments throughout the episode. But we are brought to you by Neutral. Neutral tastes great. It tastes so much better than anything else that is out there. It's made with real vodka and real juice. That's what makes it delicious. Pineapple watermelon. They also have new flavors lime and strawberry. Perfect for social occasions, because it's such a crowd pleaser, especially during football season. Think on the beach with friends at an outdoor bar, on the lake, or even at your boy's birthday party. It's the perfect time of year to grab a 12 pack of neutral for the beach or grab a bucket deal in your favorite bar to celebrate football season. Neutral, keep it tasty. Let's get back to this episode. - Please say no right off the top. - I swear. - No. - It's false, man. We did it out of 11. - You can show us a paper, some paper that I said that you had a GPA. - Maybe in a box. - Maybe in a box back home. - I swear, I'm not joking. Our GPA scale was out of control. - We've known each other for eight years. And we've talked about GPAs. I've told you my story about going to Chaparral. And I've never heard you talk about your GPAs 10/6. - That's crazy. - Well, I mean, I got to college and then you kinda, I don't know, listen to you and basically everybody else. You realize that the whole GPA scale is out of four everywhere. - Yeah. - Top. - I don't know, I don't know. - Including volunteer Missouri. - Yeah, four is the top. - But I was nice. - You were nice. Sounds like you had a 36 GPA. - Yeah. - Which is three and five. - A 385. - There's no issue about you based on a general. - Top 10%. - What class you struggle in for you not to get a 4.0. - Mmm. - English. History. - I thought you was more of like a science math guy. - I thought you was gonna say farming. - Farming. - Yeah. - Just got a class of land that plan. - I mean, yeah, y'all. It's like the only school in Missouri in that county, right? - In that county? - Yeah. - I mean, we were in North County. There's West County. There's Park Hills. There's Farmington. - Oh. - Yeah. - We had a lot, yeah. - My father. - I never heard about high school to the farmer. - You crazy. High school to high farming. - Yeah. - And the FFA. FFA, I'm a member. (laughing) - You're supposed to find me. - It's a real thing. That's what I, just 'cause of the small town, I'm assuming that they don't think people are gonna get out of there. So like farming and be something that they don't. - You won't make it out of here. You could do this. - Yeah. - Yeah. - It was crazy. - It was crazy, right? (laughing) - We had like, it was called Unitech. Unitech, like a school kind of next door for people that, you know, do shit with their hands, manual labor, like electrician shit. - Well, you mean like a. - What? - A trade school. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, a trade school, yeah. - Yeah, this one comes from Sir Kato. - This is what he's been looking forward to. - Yeah, but in the series, back in my life more, then Taylor won a clay to bet the spread last season. Here's an idea. You should let the back of the bus boys get involved in some sidepicks parlays this year. What was it, would you like that? (clapping) - Yeah, I want it for you. - I want it for you. - I want it for you. - You guys want to bring in a parlay each and every week to the locker room? - Bleacher, creature parlay. I like that. - Does it matter? - Like a G penny slicks. - Yeah, I'd be first in a JP ofy. - Is it going matter what, how many legs? - I think it should be one for each guy that's in the locker. - One for each guy. - Each guy. - Each guy brings in the. - Sheesh! (laughing) - What is that, what is that? - We'll do, hey, we'll work with it. - No bad ideas in the brain. - No bad ideas in the brain, sir. - Fire up. - Each leg. - Yeah. - Great idea. - Okay. - That's all you need. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not everyone has a point. - So everyone brings in a leg and they make a parlay. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - You were thinking each guy brings in a parlay? - Yeah. - And we just have a line, like a. Yeah, no, no, no. I'm so out on that. - This right here is why the people show up. - No, right here. - 100%. - 100%. - And for people that are worrying about Clay not being here, do not fret, his picks are in. And Cody, from the graveyard, he will be giving out Clay Matthews his picks. So I'm fine. - Money line Matthews is back this year. - Yeah, yeah. I'll assume he is. - Let's jump into the slate, shall we? - Yeah. - First game is getting into the slate. - Buccaneers at the bangles. - Woo. - Bangles are favorite minus three and a half. Total points in the game is 50 and a half points. Delaney. - You know, I'm still gonna pick this pick, but to see my boy get paid right before the season. What do you get like three years? - 655 APS. - Woo. - Yeah. - Baker. And he's a dog. - He's a dog. - Well, I thought he deserved to get paid. - I thought he deserved to get paid. - Nobody questioned in his dog. - I wasn't saying y'all was. I'm just talking out loud. - But even though my dog got paid and y'all know I rock with Baker, I just can't go against those bangles right now, man. - Right. - Just can't. - Yeah. - I just can't. You got your boy. If burrow is healthy as they say is, I just don't think anybody's gonna be able to stop him. I think they uploaded it, they uploaded the defense. They brought in who they bring in again. - Dexter Lawrence. - Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan. Allen. Jonathan Allen. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I just really think that they trying to get that defensive good. I feel like that was the struggle. The defense wasn't where they needed to be at. Now adding a few pieces up front. I think in the linebacker, I want to say was it boy? Uh, boy, what's the linebacker name? Yeah. Adding him to it. I just think that the, I really think the bangles are going to get it done. So I'm going to have to go with the bangles here. I'm taking them minus three and a half. I would say the, the dog thing, but they're favored. And uh, so got to go bangles. Yeah. You go and bangles minus three and a half. How many units? One. One unit. Okay. The mule just dip it his toe into the pool. I'm starting off. Oh, I'll dip my toe in even less. One unit. Zero units. One unit. Bangles money line. Oh, I know. That's a week. That's week. Listen, this is week one football. This is week one football. I'll bill you week one football. He ain't done yet. Bangles. I'll buy a point minus two and a half. Wait, you, wait, you moving the line? Yeah, minus two and a half. There's the, listen, I lost the war last year. I've lost it. I've conceded my white flag has waved. We have to play the game. How I want to unit base now, so you guys can structure any way you want to structure. So if you want to go bangles money line, you're more than one. I'm not going bangles money. You like that minus two and a half kicker? I like the minus two and a half, but I'm not going to move the line. I'm gonna, I'm gonna keep it fresh for Taylor for a week one. Okay. And so I have 10 units. I get to place right on six games. 10 units. We have one unit out, one unit out. Can I hear plays before I get on? Oh, play is going to go. Cody Cody Cody. Oh, yes. Moneyline math use moves the line to six and a half takes the bangles at minus six and a half for two units. Are you kidding me? The football season, whether you're buying tickets, booking travel or shopping team gear, protect your pockets with visa, tapping to pay for a bootleg jersey without checking the card. That is not a pro move. Tapping to pay with visa. Now that is a pro move. Visa runs more than 500 security checks to identify fraud before each transaction is approved so you don't have to worry, except for how that medium jersey fits after a couple of dozen wings. You're gonna have to worry about that just a little bit. This season, remember a great defensive play is when you pay with Visa, the most trusted way to pay for football, fans everywhere. Clay coming out serious for this one. Oh my god. Moneyline math use, boy, minus six and a half. Wow. Two units. Wow. I like that. I like that. Pick a lot. Listen, Tampa Bay, I felt much better about Tampa Bay when Baker Mayfield sat there and he felt like he was disrespected by the team, the chip and the shoulder like no one uses the chip better than Baker Mayfield. He loses Mike Evans. He goes out to the West Coast on paper. This is probably like a middle of the road team just on paper. Now we saw Baker Mayfield how he had fourth quarter drives or last minute drives at the end of like four or five games, really in the season last year. Willing is team into a win. I like that. Then you go over to the the bangle sign where you've never really had question marks in the offense other than Joe Burrow's health where the defense has always just been horrendous. They were bottom and points allowed. They're just they were 31st in multiple categories and that's just that's like a positive for them. I think the only way you can go is up. I don't know how up that is though, but I love a healthy Joe Burrow. I never loved the way the bangles of star of the last two seasons, but I do like points being scored in this game. I know statistically, unders kind of ruled the world when it comes to NFL games, especially in week one, but I can see Joe Burrow throw it all over the yard. I can see this bangle's defense, although quote, improved because I think it's really a trade off with Lawrence like you're getting a better runstopper and an interior rusher, but you got Trey Hendrixson that goes over to the Ravens. So you're losing that edge pressure. That's more traditionally gets to the quarterback. I see a lot of points happening. This game 50 and a half looks really good. I'm going to put three units on that. I'm going to stay with the regular line and I like if I had to put it on a team, I would probably go the bangles, but once I see that they're all on the bangles, it's like this is a clear Tampa Bay gritty team win on the road week one. So you're going over. I'm going to go over 15 and a half. I like that for minutes. Oh, no, no, I can't go three minutes. I kind of like because I like staring on the barrel and call a football and playing that like that three area because I feel really good about those, but I only have 10 units across six games. So I'll go two units on this one because I need to spread out because I'm looking at some of the slate and there's other games. I like a lot more than this game, but I do like points. I like points. I think as excited as we want to get about extra Lawrence and he's a hell of a football player. Like that one individual is not changing the totality of this defense. I think Joe, I think Joe Barrow scores. I think Chase is out there. Hey, against all the boys, they're absolutely rolling. And then the Buccaneers, they're like, well, we have to keep pace with what's taking place here. And they'll be able to do so with that defense and that back end. That's how I feel about this game. I mean, I like it. I just past years, unders are been crazy. Crazy. I think you're going to get just a lot of a bad looking football in the first game. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be sloppy, but there is the preseason that always kind of plays into it. Two veteran quarterbacks, two coaches that have been there. I don't play a whole lot, especially even now. Yeah, but if you look at like teams that have younger quarterbacks compared to veteran quarterbacks, those veteran quarterback teams usually are less penalized more discipline when you get the early early weeks of the season because they've been there before. They know how it's supposed to look. So when you're getting towards week one, there's more of a sense of urgency that they're placing on the rest of the team. As opposed to you know, younger quarterbacks that you kind of look at the preseason, it's sloppy and they don't they can get mad about something, but they don't necessarily how to fix it along with the coaching stuff. So that's where I like this being a sharper game on the offensive side of the ball. Because there's not a whole lot to hang your head on both sides. I think a Buccaneers defense was middle of the road. Yeah, they got a little tear as well. Second game Ravens at Colts. Hi, Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile.

I'm Julie Pignero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. Every time I try to be alone, I kept meeting people and they were like, "You smiled at us, not a lot of people smile around here." It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. It can be a time where you push your limits, change your mind, or wake up to a new version of yourself.

Self-Case September is here, which means it's time to rethink what self-care actually means. Yes, self-care can be a long walk, it can be an everything shower, it can be putting your phone on do not disturb, but sometimes it's actually about sitting with the uncomfortable stuff and understanding your patterns, your boundaries, finally figuring out why you keep doing things that you swore you would never do again. I'm Jenna Speg, the host of the psychology of your 20s podcast, and each week we unpack the psychology behind the experiences that shape your 20s, from relationships and friendships to money, anxiety, confidence, attachment, just becoming more comfortable with who you are. Unlike the quarter-life crisis which is depicted as the collapse, the quarter-life reinvention is the expansion and growth of something. When we develop the ability to be happy by ourselves. Nobody else can take it. that from you. So this self-care September, don't just take care of yourself, get to know yourself as well. Listen to the psychology of your 20s on the iHot Radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Ravens are favorite minus three and a half total points of that game is 47 and a half points. Ravens last year said the best roster, their defense was absolutely incredible. They ended up sputtering and falling apart at the end of the year not making the playoffs. What do you think about this game? I think Lamar is still Lamar. I think they still have a top still have one of the top tier offenses out there with Derek Henry Flowers. The defense, I just think they're gonna get even better. The only thing that scares me is it wasn't even that good last year though. Name wise roster on paper wise, very good. They I mean they didn't show up. You had a lot of talent that didn't show up but I think that the new regime and the new fresh air in the building, things is gonna change because like you gotta understand when you have an old coach that you've been playing for, he had favorites isn't like you, you may have not been the best that year but they keep you right just because the coach know you have time with you, they keep you but there's new coach hey you don't show up we get ready yo ass you nobody we want to bring our own players in here. I think sometimes that has a tasting guys mouth where they have to understand they gotta get up and show out and I think that's what the Ravens gonna do this year so I'm going Ravens. Mine is three and a half. Mine is three and a half one unit. And the coach who the coach we don't know what we don't know what Daniel's gonna do this year. We don't know he showed up last year got hurt team went from what seven and one to losing all eight games at the end of the year. Trump you don't just lose that so all fair points. So we'll see what happens. We'll see what happens but I think the Ravens are gonna take this one. Willie um one unit okay. Colts plus three and a half. So I see the offense I I'm a believer in Daniel Jones. I think Saw Scarter now being there he got traded mid year last year. I don't a minute spot where I'm questioning the Ravens. I wasn't last year I was super confident how they were gonna perform that year and they kind of they shit the bed guys got a guys got her lot of injuries. There's a part of me that just I don't and I don't know what it is I can't explain it. We'll know more after week one but them going on the road to Indy um I just like Indianapolis like I think Daniel Jones you know I'm bullish on him making a making a strong comeback that offense operating at the look not necessarily at the level yet that they were before he got injured but still another he's got another year in the system a lot of continuity with that team. Love TJ Warren it tied in obviously you know Jonathan Taylor. I just like what they have so I'm gonna go Colts plus three and a half one unit one simple unit. I like the Ravens in this game. I like the idea that everyone said here in 2025 pad them on the ass tell them how great they were going to be and they underperformed not only on the off the side of the ball but the defensive was supposed to be the strike at their team. Jesse Mentor comes over from the chargers and every way if you look at where Jesse's meant Jesse Mentor's been as a DC it's always elevated the the gameplay on the defense side of the ball. Now with those names and bringing trade Hendrickson over obviously there was a bunch of soft max pros be trade Hendrickson all those things take place trade comes over from the bangles and giving them a viable pass rush option now to where they have the back of their defense led by music Kyle Hamilton who is probably the best safety in the game if not top three in the game. He's going to be able to get around a little bit more they plug and play him they put him they put him deep they bring him in the box the guy can really do everything he's got a great nose for the game similar to Caleb Downs at the house date when he was in college I like to have it a big step forward I think the way Derek Henry season started is not how to start this year this is a guy another chip on the shoulder guy like this is a guy that 60 yards rushing in the game he's not talking to anybody for a week he takes things very personally and he's very aware of how his season started last year and it's going to be the run game with him Lamar I think is a flowers as a big game as well as a receiving option so I like I like the Ravens quite a bit here I like that a little extra juice some new blood in the Ravens uh facility and they still have a top to bottom great roster across the board so as much as they under perform last year I see them making big steps this year um so that's two AFC North teams that I'm a fan of right now going to this so wait where how many years I'm Raven I didn't say units I gotta keep remembering that I'm gonna go two on this one as well I like the Ravens and with the three and a half and we'll get you a point yes okay no I'll just go three and a half I do love the under in this game I do love the under in this game but I took I took the over in the last one you know what let me parlay I'm gonna parlay Ravens minus three and a half and then give me the over as well 47.5 for two of us there we go starting out I'm gonna do that can I get clay mat I get money line Matthews pay please cut it yeah money line Matthews is gonna trail yeah he's got Ravens minus three and a half for two units as well nice man spark my money line Matthews man huh smart by money line Matthews he's going all he's going all he's going to get the grain for where he just took money lines on favorites I know yeah moving the line it's like he it's like we finally told them like listen you could have what you want you've won the game you can move the line and be as conservative as you want he's essentially flipped the script on us all the sudden he's got in the opposite way man yeah clay is one of the most aggressive guys on the show yeah in the short time we've been here yeah he isn't as spicy up a little bit clay would also tell you to shop gravely we got a gravely game of the week coming up buy yourself a lawnmower ain't that right clay yeah the gravely game of the week Buffalo and Houston the light on this game is essentially a pick him uh bills are favored by one and a half on the road the over under the total on this game is 44 and a half I love Josh Allen I love Joe Brady is this the year for Josh Allen MVP caliber right here the same thing we say every week I hope it is they get a good wide receiver he has a receiver one officially Joe Brady they got a great relationship he's a fan of the show I love him he we went to see them in camp last year he's like oh men I wish I was wearing my bus with the boy said he was that fired up I got the Houston Texans winning this one out right um I got the Texans defense incredible I think take Dell coming back what he marks uh CJ Stroud contract year for him I see them taking control of this game I'm gonna put how many units man right now I'm at four units god I gotta look at the rest quick potty break boom Lucy shout out Lucy no free shout outs uh this is the daily espresso is my favorite hands down and that bite burst anywhere pops in your mouth and hits you with flavor god I can't get enough of it it never gets old I mostly use it to lock in with our need a little energy boost pre workout post workout doesn't matter it works every which way these bad boys go up to 12 milligrams so if you need a little something with a little more kick they've got you covered and the thing we respect most independently owned proudly American made not some big tobacco brand playing dress up and that matters to the boys Lucy is the only pouch doing long lasting on demand flavor like this you can get 20% offer your first order at lucy.co/lockerroom use code locker room and here comes a fine print Lucy products are for adults of legal age and every customer is age verified warning this product does contain nicotine nicotine is an addictive chemical let's get back to the conversation. I put three units on Texas money line here damn wow yeah like Texans money line I feel like this game a lot it's just defense defense defense always and I also love the under I also love the under might as you take a big swing in week one go three units parlay the money line yeah I'm gonna do that I'm gonna go three units I'm gonna go Texans money line money line I'm gonna park from that's too small it's too small but they got them like seven times and they played them last year in in Texas I'm gonna stick with money line Houston Texans that's it three units on that one all I can say is jam Leonard are Leonard how you say his last name the Jim Leonard I just don't want to mess his name up great coach he ran the number one defense with Denver last year that is a straight upgrade for the Buffalo defense that's all I got to say I think they're gonna set you got CJ everyone saying CJ is the problem he's the problem great defense going against him giving them the miss the the miss matches the fake blitzes the stunts around I just think that the bills is gonna hold this game even though it's in Houston I just don't think the bills is gonna take it can't take away from Josh Allen being MBB caliber I said it already so you're going bills the bills cover one and a half one unit one unit so one one one one one I like tailing you I like going Houston Texas money line will Anderson this defense and again when CJ Shroud you know how to bat he's got a massive massive question mark over it said this year when CJ Shroud was successful he also had a very good running game you mentioned Woody Marx but also David Montgomery came to town yeah and David Montgomery is gonna be a beast they get the they get they get the line of scrims going they get the running game going this defense is there's a couple good defenses that you can say are the best in the league but this Genetic specimen in Will Anderson coming after you. Stingly in the back end. I love this defense and I think again, they're gonna get after Josh Allen's ass. You know, just for a little, I'm not sending the Buffalo Bills or out of it. I got Buffalo Bills going deep this year. But going in Houston, playing the Texans, I just, I love this defense. I think they're gonna mow him down, shop gravely. And I like one unit on the Houston Texans. Money long. Come on Clay. Actually this, as much success as the Houston Texans had last year, what are the chances that are actually still that good, the following year? Like is really world where they kind of took a step back? 'Cause I'm with you, I'm on the Texans. No, there's no shot. There's no shot that they're not as good. No shot. I love that. I love the conference. How many units? One. (laughing) We've won of the NFL, you know what's gonna happen. You know what I mean? Well, we have no idea. This is like. One unit. Yeah, one unit, I'm with that. All right. Tigers Vikings. Wait Clay. Oh Clay. He, you know, he's gonna fail. Moneyline Matthews Bills minus two and a half for one unit. Doesn't love the game. What do you mean? The units. It's a, 'cause yeah, it's a tricky one. It's tricky. You got two good, I love it. I know some teams in the AFC. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Oh man, defense versus Josh Allen. I love your call to Jim Leonard today. It's a massive, good defense, though. I feel like they defense should be okay with Jim. So. Hell yeah. We'll see. Hell yeah, Steve. Hey, 'cause they defense was a problem last year. Hopefully they fixed it. NFC North matchup. We got the Packers going out to Minnesota. The line on this game, Vikings are favored one and a half a little disbelief. A little disbelief. A little non-believing. Wow, it's crazy. You're in love going out there. Crazy. The overrunder on this game, 46 and a half. Hmm. This, I, this got the mule all over it. This one. This one. Where's Clay going? That's too many lines going. He's going backers. Come on. Moneyline Matthews goes Packers, Moneyline. You taking a Packers. How many units? Two units. Two units. Green Bay up in Minnesota, openers. Season opener in Minnesota. Ah. Give me the Vikings. Oh. Give me the Viking. Hey. Have you won? One. We do it one right now. Oh. Okay. I'll go. I'll say, I'll say mine. I'm going to go one units on the Vikings. Moneyline. I like, I like the, I like the Vikings in this game. I don't, I don't love what's happened to my boy, J.J. over there, but Kyler Murray has an hit factor about him. He's an X factor about him having a Justin Jefferson out there on the outside, helps a lot. That's it. That is it. I don't think. I think the biggest thing in this game too is who's running the ball for the Packers? So it's March on Lloyd, who's going to be, who's going to be in the Rock. And to me, that question mark with Josh Jacobs and what he's done for that team and got them as far as the last year, he's a big piece of that. I think Jordan Love also played exceptionally well. Look, first you have ways to scheme it all up and make it all, like he's, he's a great offensive mind. But I like from a talent standpoint, Kyler healthy. There's no call of duty extra bonus things coming out right now. I like where, I like where Minnesota sits. I think one, a lot of conversation about, do you give up on JGD or not? No one's really focused on how successful they can be. I didn't see North. This would probably be one of my favorite divisions to watch this year. But I like, I like the Vikings minus 1/2. I can only go one unit. So I will just go one unit on this game. How many would you go if you could play two or three? Probably three. Yeah. I probably hit a three piece right down the middle. Why could JJ own a team? No. JJ's not playing. JJ's not in the combo any way. We don't talk about JJ. I like the weapons better on the perimeter. I like Kyler Murray's ability to break container and run and run a little bit. And then it's Josh Jacobs not playing the game, who's been was a safety net for the Packers. And I think that could really hurt them. Now to argue against myself, it's the floor. It's the run game. It's the scheme. I've seen him on the fourth and fifth tackles at the Tennessee Titans scheme up against the Kansas City Chiefs and win that game. So there are the technical craft is healthy again. Is he going to play this week? So good craft. Yeah. He's also coming off an ACO. So it's like that's a hard work. How healthy. I know. He was the best title in the NFL until he got hurt last year. Yeah. So I mean, I like that team. I like that team in week six, seven and I like him like him in October. Right now I like the Vikings in September. Yeah. You got Kyler Murray. No double XP going on. No double XP were sold. It's early in the year. He's an electric factor. He's got some studs to throw the ball up. He's studs. Sunday night football. Cowboys at Giants will have the floor, but I just want to say if I could bet 10 units I would on this game. I love the Cowboys minus two and a half here. I love the Cowboys. Wait a minute. They moved in line. Oh, yeah. One and a half. Really? Three units. Okay. Cool. Dallas Moneyline. Wow. Jimmy Moo. Oh. We going football, bro. Wow. I like Dallas this year. I've said it on multiple occasions. I got that as the MVP, big fan of Shotty. I think this is your O-Line. Even though Tyler Smith is on IR to start the season, that's kind of a big loss. But again, this O-Line, having a second year in this operation outside of Tyler Smith, they are all healthy. All the weapons. Everybody knows about that. That's got all the weapons that he has with CD, LAN, pickings, Williams in the backfield. But defensively, too. Having a new coordinator, not having a Ebuflust there anymore. All the pieces you have with Rashon Gary, with Kenny Clarke, with Quinn Williams, with overshown on the second level, D-Winners coming over from the 49ers. And again, our boy, Caleb Downs, who is that, dude. I think Cowboys are going to be good this year, and I think they will, I think they handle the New York Giants. Literally, if you go between neighbors, they got a great pass rush. But yeah, I think they win the game, because I like Dallas Moneyline. And that's three units. William Roberts comes in the third, three units, son. So confident that they win by two. Dude, it's week one, it's the NFL, there's going to be so many games under the sun. I can't see your face. It's so dark, and scat about Odell Beckham, we're having two of those. I love that they're coming back, sticking place right now. You win Dallas, too, didn't you? Yeah, yeah. I mean, they got a good spot. I'm going minus two and a half. Like, I love the idea of the Giants. When scat and dart are rolling, it fires me up. I love it. I just think that Dallas Cowboys offense is not slowing down, and the defense can only be better. They cannot be worse. They can only be better, and all the defensive players you just said. So I think Caleb Downs is defensive rookie of the year this year. I'm a huge fan of his play, and I'm a huge fan of everything that's coming out of him. The huge fan of his heart. Yeah, his heart. Yeah, he's got great heart. Caleb Downs. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And for Coleman, too, I know you're a massive Giants fan. I like the Giants this year. I love Coleman and the eyes when I said that fit. Yeah. Lot of good talent in our ball, first year. First year, yeah. New York's got something brewing. Yeah. I don't think it's going to happen week one, just big fan of shotty. Yeah. I just think it's too early. Dallas been winning his rivalry lately, and getting them in week one before the Giants can get their footing. I just think this is a great opportunity for Dallas to get away with a win here. Yeah. So I got to go Dallas with one unit to cover your standard minutes minus two and a half. Yes. Let me add. I'm going to add the over 48 and a half. So I'm going Cowboys minus two and a half plus the over 48 and a half. Get your philosophy coming into week one because I'm not going to lie. You got me kind of in a corner back against a wall like a wall cards out there on the floor right now. I just think there's so much uncertainty with the week one in the NFL, it always, always catches you by surprise and you can't, you can't hang back. You got to swing first. You get the first hit out of the way. Yeah. That's my philosophy on this game right here to where we'll sit here next weekend. I can be the hero or I could just be at the bottom of a pool right now. Who knows? That's kind of a lot of philosophy because you just keep swimming. Yeah. Massive difference. Like I, there's not a lot of world where I come out of this, not a hero or dead. Yeah. Yeah. Where's, where's our boy Clay going? Please going Giants plus four and a half. Wow. Wow. One unit Giants plus four and a half. Clay and I could both be right in this game. I kind of wanted him to be off a little bit more than me because we kind of almost had the same picks. I'm thankful for that pick. Yeah. I'm thankful for that. Plus four and a half. He, I don't even got time for Clay right now. Who does? You guys, you guys had the same Super Bowl pick. People forget that. I know. It's crazy. So it's good. That's good. We had a little switch up there. Monday night football. We got Denver going to Kansas City prime time. The line, the chiefs are favored by two and a half. The total on this game is 43 and a half. Don't overthink the game. Go ahead. Yeah, I'm, you already know I'm going Broncos. I'm going Broncos because everybody circle jerk in the chiefs because Patrick my home. Are they circle jerk in the chiefs? Yeah, they kind of forgot. The majority of the world has them third in the division just to give a little, you're talking about. What? They're, they're, I think they're favorites. Yeah. They are. - Yes. - Are they? - They have one of their features last week and they were number one. - They were number one. - All by the charges of the Broncos. - Yeah, they circled that order. - Circle jerk. - Maybe I'm wrong. - Hmm. (laughing) - But it does feel like, yeah, maybe it's just the circles and the timelines that I'm in. - Yeah. - Be a leader. (laughing) - Be a leader of the timeline. - The timeline. - So you like the chiefs? - No, no Broncos. - Okay. (laughing) - Come on now. - Yeah. - Stuck in the Broncos. - Yeah. - You're three Sean Payne, Bo Nix. - That's what I'll talk about. - Have we gotten, is Patrick Mahomes playing this game? - He is playing in this game. - He is. - Off an ACL, Kelsey Long and the Tooth, Chris Jones Long and the Tooth. I'm gonna hit the under in this game. I think Kenneth Walker is a main factor in this game. Four of the Chiefs is the first time we've seen a run game at the Chiefs in a long time. That's how just simulated like short passes to make them have a run game. Year three, Bo Nix, Sean Payne, I love that. - Defense. - If I were to go one direction, it would be the Broncos, but I'll take the under in this game. - I like that under there. - Both defenses are phenomenal. - Are phenomenal. - Broncos led with SACS 68 last year, going against a hurt. I mean, I limp in quarterback. I mean, I saw he was limpin' out there, paid to say that about Patrick 'cause he is, he is one of the golds. - Of course ACL. - Yeah, but those boys gonna get out through. I can see it now. - One unit. - Simmons. - So you're one unit. - Six units on the board right now. - Six units on the board. - One unit on the board. - I'm the home of four units. You know, I got a strategy because I didn't go to, I didn't go to class for nothing. - Right. - Broncos' money line. One unit. (laughing) - Just to be clear. - How many units you leave on the board? - I'll let the couple. - He left. - Oh, two. Okay. - One, two, three, four, five, six. - Did I do one three piece? - You did a two piece, I thought. - You did a three piece on Cowboys' money line. - Yeah, so I left. - Two units on the board. - We're gonna run the football this year. - You ran all, you ran all your units? - Yeah, yeah, I have blood out to the end. - Oh, so you were in a club. - I was being a jaggedity little boy that I was even like comboin'. I was puttin' a little too late to see the end of it. - And you said a par lay, so one don't hit, you lose. - That's how it works out. - I'm just makin' sure you know that, 'cause we had to argument the last time about this situation when we was doin' a start doin' this. - But this structure kind of clears it up. It's all unit based. - It's all unit based. - It keeps out there like Jackson's arm right now. - Yeah. - Head down, he ain't slide. - Right, who's Jackson's nothing to me. - Jackson Dart, yeah, he'd need the slide. We need him to stay all year. - No, no, no, here's your aura. - If I see Jackson Dart slide in this game, I'm done with him, dude. - Man, that's called developing. He developed as a starting quarterback. - We developed some cowlis, bro. - Get in there, hurt the pads. - You want him to get hurt. - That's what we got, cam. - I wanna see that. - We got a ball for that. - Let him run people over. - Why can't they both do it? - All right, yeah, that thing's so funny to me. Let's start parallel, Clay goes. Clay goes Bronco's money line with five exclamation points for two units. - Oh, that's a good pick. - He's fired up about that one. - Yeah, he loved it. - He loved it. - Get him again, get him again. - We interrupt this episode because we are presented by Ford, a hard day's work starts with one thing.

I think it's, there's no guarantees in life, but I love this right here. Do you see that? Do you mind if I read it to you? - That shit is crazy. - You can read that fast. - Yeah, that's so crazy. - And no way to read that. All you sow is a number at the bottom. - Okay. - Yes, it is a four-figure Parallel. But we're here to get units, are we not? - We're here to get units. - No fear of dodging. - First pick of my Parallel, Texans Money Line. - Hmm, thank you. Bears minus three. - Hmm, appreciate you all. Lamar Jackson, over 200 yards passing. Hmm, that's three. Joe Burrow, over 200 yards passing. - I can see that one. - That's four. B. John Robertson, over 70 rushing yards. - I'll see that one. - That's five. Cowboys minus two and a half. Hmm, that is for a whopping plus 1,000. 971. - And 71. - Hmm, that is crazy. - My turn. - My turn. - That's a six life. - My turn. - My turn. - My turn. - My turn. - That is a crazy week one joint. - Sorry, dude. You're an inspiration to me. - It's like don't meet your heroes. - I'll come in here, you're no longer getting units. - Who? - You. - Go ahead and read that little thing he asked Parallel to be interested in. - You do got a rinky ding parallel. - I got a rinky ding parallel. - It's a week one joint. - Week one joint. - I got to make an audible. I'm switching one money line. My money line at the top is going to be for the finale. It's going to be money line Denver. - Denver. - Going Denver money line. - Click on you. - No, no, no, no, I just, I feel better about, I feel better about Denver money line than I do Houston, Texas money line. So I'm swapping that out. 'Cause I had Texas money line, but I'm going to go, I'm going Denver money line. Jaguar's money line against the Browns. I'm moving the line, I'm taking an alt line in the total of the Cowboys Giants game. I'm going to go under 55 and a half. And then Jameer Gibbs on rushing and receiving. I'm taking the over on that. It's at 118 and a half yards. - Ooh. - Give me those odds. - Plus five, 10. It's in the plus 500s. 'Cause again, this one has Texas money line. I don't have the Denver one in there, but the lines are similar, so I'm guessing it's the same. - I mean that might be more than that. Could be more. - Yeah, it is more. - Plus 120, the Texan, the plus 102, so it'll be better. - Yeah, better, better than the plus 510. - All right, Delaney. - I mean, let's get it out for us, buddy. - Let me say it, guys, week one, getting your feet wet. There's all you guys out there who like getting units. You follow the Mule, okay? The Mule's going to get you some units. And this is one of those, no, I ain't going to say it's a for sure here, because I don't want you to call. I don't want you calling me. - Can you say a responsible game? - Yeah, a responsible game, don't call me. - You're responsible, you're responsible. - Call Will and Taylor, I do love it. So I'm going Chargers Moneyline versus the Cardinals. Eagles Moneyline versus the Commanders. Jaguars Moneyline versus the Brams. And that pays out plus 105. - Yeah. - But look, look, that's it. (audience clapping) - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And for you guys out there who want to get a Thursday night amp, you want to add that in? - Or switch one out, Brams versus the 49ers. Brams Moneyline. (audience laughing) - Short weed. - Still plus 105. - No, it's not. - No, it's not, it's not. I don't know what it is, but it's plus threes. If you had that in there. - If you had it in, I'm telling you, 'cause this is a short week, it goes up.
