00:00You were just discussing Minnesota there, you know, that their schedule is difficult.

00:07I will say, you know, they, they, they got a shot, you know, they control their own destiny

00:11as you pointed out, but it's not going to be easy.

00:13I must say, knowing that they got the Seattle and green Bay in addition to Detroit on their

00:19schedule.

00:20Yeah.

00:21I mean, the Seattle games, once again, it's in Seattle grant to CL doesn't have the same

00:24home field advantage.

00:25They used to have there.

00:26And we don't know, you know, Smith, the law player nine, we did hear, I guess, good news

00:29that the injury is not terrible, but what does that mean?

00:33You know, terrible could be, you know, a year out is just out for this week.

00:36Is he 50 50 and they're probably not going to tell us, right.

00:38They're going to play that game.

00:39I keep everybody guessing here.

00:41And then they have green Bay at home and green base, a damn good team as well.

00:45I get, once again, better playing him at home than on the road, but that'll be a really

00:47big game for maybe for both teams, depending on how this weekend goes.

00:51And then they close out at Detroit.

00:53So it's a rough schedule, hard to see them winning all three, you know, but they have

00:56to win at least two out of three.

00:58They might need Detroit to slip up as well, but Detroit at Chicago heart, even with all

01:03the injuries, hard to see them losing that game at San Fran a week, 17.

01:07I have possibility.

01:08They have safer and has one good game.

01:10Nothing in the season.

01:11Maybe, especially if San Fran cannot beat Miami this week and think they have a shot

01:15of some sort of winning a division.

01:17We'll see how that works out here.

01:19But, uh, as much as I think Minnesota might be the better team right now, due to all the

01:24injuries to Detroit, Detroit may be able to hang on because of that schedule.

01:29Yeah.

01:30When everything is said and done though, I was just looking at Philadelphia's

01:33remaining schedule, uh, you know, Washington, Dallas and the giants.

01:37I mean, it's hard not to make a case for the Eagles.

01:39You know, when we do a three team, three league championship, uh, round Robin

01:43parlay, uh, me and share pan on the game live during the week, just to have some

01:47fun, we pick three different leagues.

01:48Right.

01:49Uh, you know, the NFL, we would probably do two in the AFC and at

01:54this point, only one in the NFC.

01:56I mean, it's so realistically when everything is said and done, you

02:00know, is, is anyone beating Philadelphia?

02:02I mean, if you gave me Philadelphia now and the field to get to the Superbowl,

02:06George, I think I would take Philadelphia.

02:08I don't think they're losing maybe Washington, you know, maybe, uh, giants

02:14certainly aren't beating them.

02:15I don't think Dallas is either.

02:17I think they're going to finish up 15 and two.

02:19And I think somewhere along the line, Minnesota and Detroit, well, obviously

02:22one of them has to, because they're going to play each other, but I think

02:25somewhere along the line, both those teams are going to have at least three

02:28losses, which means Philadelphia not only gets a buy and now they got home

02:33field advantage for the next two rounds in the NFC postseason, I I'm

02:37hard-pressed to see anyone really.

02:39I mean, they're all good stories.

02:40Rams are good.

02:41Tampa Bay.

02:41Good.

02:42The lion's good season.

02:44But with everything push comes to shove.

02:46Is anyone really beating Philadelphia in the NFC?

02:48I don't think so.

02:50I don't think so.

02:51I've been saying this for a while now that they can fill it up.

02:53He's the best team in the NFC and I don't think that's going to change.

02:55Uh, and if they get that number one seed, who the hell wants to go to

02:59Philadelphia in January and beat the Eagles, right?

03:02Uh, I know people say, well, the Detroit lions have a great run game.

03:05That the run game travels very true.

03:07They have no defense.

03:08All right.

03:09The Eagles have a defense.

03:10All right.

03:11That is a very good defense.

03:12Better than probably given credit for here.

03:13Yeah.

03:13I think it's the Eagles in the NFC.

03:15And I think due to all these injuries to the lions, it may be in a walk.

03:18May not be all that difficult.

03:19I think Green Bay could give them a game.

03:21They did play a nice game in week one here, right?

03:22In Brazil.

03:23So, uh, could be.

03:25If it was in Minnesota, Minnesota would have a better chance on the road.

03:28I don't think Sam Dunn was beating Philadelphia in Philadelphia.

03:30I just don't.

03:31Uh, so no, I think it's Philadelphia here.
