00:03 In the early game on Saturday, that is in Houston inside in the cozy confines of NRG

00:08 as we will have the Texans and the Browns getting together.

00:11 What a story it has been, Joe, with Joe Flacco, of course, basically getting off the plane

00:16 Thanksgiving weekend and joining the practice squad, has stepped in and helped lead the Browns

00:22 into the playoffs, and he's got a lot of playoff success.

00:26 Might have been a long time ago, but he's got a lot of playoff success under his belt.

00:31 Here's Flacco.

00:32 I think any time you get to be in the playoffs and win football games, there's some party

00:35 that takes pride in that, no matter where it is.

00:39 This is what we go to work for every day, is to be in this position and to play these types of games.

00:47 So I think we should all hold our head high. We earned the right to be playing this Saturday.

00:57 And you should gain something from that.

01:03 But like I said, once you lace them up and once you're actually out in the field, none of that matters.

01:08 None of it matters. This hasn't budged, Joe, all week.

01:11 Two and a half for the Browns. Hasn't moved. 44 and a half, four to total.

01:17 Hasn't moved. There hasn't been anything happening here.

01:20 Do you expect maybe a little bit of that to start coming in on Friday or early Saturday before the game?

01:25 Will this get to three, do you think, before it kicks off?

01:29 It might, but I think they have a price pretty well, because think about it.

01:34 I mean, the Browns beat them up when Case Keenum was the quarterback, right?

01:39 It's in their spot in a rematch type of situation.

01:42 C.J. Stroud is battle-tested.

01:45 And you have D'Amico Ryan's one of the best game planners and defensive-minded head coaches playing at home in a rematch type of situation.

01:53 This is a tough spot.

01:55 You know, I lean to the Browns in this ballgame.

01:59 I lean to the under two, because I think both rushing attacks will have to be prevalent.

02:04 But give me the Browns. I think the Browns win this game like 23-17, something ugly like that.

02:12 Like a 40-point. I think defense will take over on both of these sides.

02:17 So I'm going to lean with the more experienced quarterback and the more complete team, which I think is the Browns.

02:24 But it's going to be close, I believe.

02:27 Going to be close, you believe.

02:29 I think it's going to be a lot closer, clearly, than the last time that they played.

02:34 I think it's over, though, Joe.

02:36 I think it's over, believe it or not.

02:39 You know, as good as the Browns' defense has been this year, and they're a very good unit,

02:43 they've also had some games, Joe, where the games got a little zany.

02:47 Whether you think back to that game in Indy that they played with the—

02:50 they've had some crazy games that they've been a part of.

02:53 The Jacksonville game was crazy that they played at home.

02:56 There was a ton of points scored in that game.

02:59 So I kind of lean to the over, Joe, believe it or not, for Saturday afternoon.

03:03 Yeah, I do. I lean to the over.

03:05 I don't like that total. We might have to take some props on the running backstair.
