00:00Here is Tua. As you know, he's 0-4 when the temperature is under 40 degrees, but he brings

00:09him back to the old days, Cam. Sitting around as a kid, watching the games on Thanksgiving,

00:15throwing the ball around in the yard during halftime. Tua is very, very happy to be playing

00:21on Turkey Day.

00:22100%. 100%. I think this is an awesome opportunity, being able to play Thursday night football

00:30primetime on Thanksgiving. It just takes me back to growing up in Hawaii. Obviously,

00:35the primetime games were a little earlier in Hawaii. But, you know, it's sort of the

00:41same deal. Like, that's the only team that's playing. And whether you like the teams that

00:47were playing or not, like you, you know, you just sit down, eat, you spend time with family

00:53and you get to watch that. And, you know, sometimes you go outside and you pretend to

00:58be some of the players, you know, that are playing.

01:02Very nostalgic, Cam, from Tua there, as he gets ready to play at the Lambeau Field, coming

01:08up here tomorrow night. I know that I'm nuts. You probably are too.

01:14I am.

01:15But I'm taking Flipper here. I'm going to go swim with Flipper. Plus the 3.5 in Lambeau

01:21against the Packers. 47.5 is the total. I think we can get there. I know it's going

01:27to be cold. I get it. But I think Miami's playing their best football of the year right

01:33now. And as I, and a key for me here, Cam, is that I don't think the Packer D is great.

01:41And you have to take advantage when love gives you those couple opportunities a game to hand

01:47you the foot. And he does it every game. Some teams take advantage. Some don't like the

01:52Niners last week, but you have to take advantage when love is willing to hand you a turnover

01:57and if the Dolphins do, Cam, I think we're there.

02:00I think their defense is playing a hell of a lot better recently, Carver. And I think

02:03they can force some fumbles. You know what? I know we talk about the cold. I think the

02:06Dolphins are going to show up. They understand how big this is. They seem galvanized again.

02:10I'm taking the fish, but Carver, I do have a lean to the under in this game and it's

02:14not about the weather. I just think the defenses are going to step up a little bit. I think

02:18we just get under the number here.
