00:00We have an interesting Sunday night game where preseason you'd probably think, come on, what

00:09a waste.

00:10The 1-4 team play-in, this is terrible.

00:12We knew the Giants would, huh, they have the better record than the Cincinnati Bengals.

00:18Isn't that something?

00:20It doesn't stop Cincy from being favorites in this football game.

00:23They checked in three and a half across the board.

00:26Boy, do the Bengals need it, to be honest, I'm not sure it matters if they get it.

00:32Leecey, you were on the Giants against Seattle, they win it outright, what do you think they

00:36do to follow it up?

00:37I think their quarterback continues his productivity, you're talking about Daniel Jones that threw

00:41for 257 yards in the win against Seattle.

00:45We saw Darius Slayton break out with a 100-yard performance, Wandale Robinson added to the

00:50mix with leaked neighbors on the sidelines, and again, I just think that the New York

00:55Giants are playing with more consistency right now from an offensive perspective.

00:59They're 2-3 on the year, 0-2 at home, but they feel that they potentially maybe can

01:04make some noise and become a wild-card contender.

01:07I honestly believe that based off the way they played on the road.

01:10I'm not sure what you're going to get out of Cincinnati.

01:14Are they more talented?

01:15Absolutely.

01:16Do they have the quarterback advantage?

01:17100%.

01:18They have an MVP candidate in Joe Burrow that almost single-handedly took the win against

01:24Baltimore last week.

01:25The problem is their defense has been absolutely atrocious, has given up over 220 passing yards

01:32to the last three quarterbacks they faced, they gave up 348 to Lamar Jackson, they're

01:371-4 on the year, and Donnie, now that they're 1-4, are guys going to be checked out?

01:42That is the problem for me.

01:44I don't know if Chase is going to put up 10 receptions for a buck 63 and two touchdowns.

01:49Is the defense all of a sudden going to give up, and that's why I back New York?

01:54I will say, I'm going to go with the total, though, 46 and a half, both teams want to

01:58chuck it, so give me the over in tonight's matchup, but I'd lean to the New York Giants.

02:02They caught Milford last week.

02:04Never in a million years did I see that New York Giants team go out to the West Coast

02:07and play in Seattle with their top playmaker and their top running back down.

02:10I said, how can they actually move the football?

02:12And to be honest, if you watch it and you don't know anything about pro football, the

02:15Giants were the better football team.

02:16They absolutely dominated that game.

02:17So now I take a look and say, all right, what's going to happen in this one?

02:21What's the game plan for the Giants?

02:22Now we saw it on tape.

02:23You know, Darius Slayton had a great week.

02:25You know, he had a couple backup running backs going ballistic.

02:27Devin Singletary is still down this week, and so his neighbors.

02:29So maybe we have a little bit more of that, you know, how can I put it, game plan that

02:33we can sort of get ready for if you're the Cincinnati Bengals.

02:36But as Joe pointed out also, I don't know what the game plan means for the defense on

02:39the bench.

02:40It can't stop anybody at this point.

02:41Even Brian Dables' offensively challenged team is probably going to move the football.

02:45But the one thing, Kevin, I do know, Jamar Chase, Tee Higgins, and Joe Barrow, they're

02:49going to eat today.

02:50It doesn't matter if your defense gives up 27 and a half over, which means four touchdowns

02:54for the Giants.
