00:00When we start with the Chargers and the Texans, Doc, while Houston is not the healthier team

00:07full season, the Chargers come in with a few more names on that injury report, Quinton

00:11Johnson, J.K. Dobbins, what are you guys expecting from those players?

00:18Expecting Dobbins to play maybe less than 100%, Quinton Johnson to play, Josh Palmer

00:22not so much, obviously.

00:25But I think a big key actually is defensively, Denzel Perriman, and you know, he's a big

00:29key to stopping Joe Mixon, and that's going to be a big deal today.

00:33And so we'll have to see, but I'm not sure that he's 100%, although he is clearly playing

00:38at this point in time.

00:39Yeah, I think it'll be interesting to, you know, see how this can all develop for Houston.

00:44The issue for them is, you know, you're not going to be getting back a Stephon Diggs,

00:49or you're not going to be getting back a player like Tank Dell throughout this season.

00:55You know, we've heard Detroit, Doc, very optimistic that they can get a guy like David Montgomery

01:00back.

01:01Quickly, let me ask you, is that, you know, kind of in line with what you guys are projecting

01:04at sixscore.com?

01:05Yeah, even when they announced surgery, we were surprised.

01:10Why surgery and why is this season over?

01:12Obviously that was backtracked upon.

01:14I think there's a reasonable chance Montgomery can play after this bye week for Detroit.

01:20I think it's a lean towards playing, but certainly if they can get to the conference championship,

01:25David Montgomery will be back.

01:26Alex Anzalone already has been back.

01:29The key there also for Detroit will be Carlton Davis with the jaw.

01:32I think Aiden Hutchinson remains a long shot, even for the Super Bowl.

01:37And then, Doc, getting over to Pittsburgh and Baltimore here, when you guys are looking

01:42at this game, Baltimore, from the six-score side of it, right now looks to be the healthier

01:47team, but not by a lot.

01:49Yeah, I think they are the healthier team, but, you know, of course, no Zay Flowers,

01:55right?

01:56And Zay Flowers probably isn't back next week either, so Baltimore has to go a little bit

02:01with them there.

02:02T.J. Watts, healthier.

02:03I think the key in that game, based on last weekend, if I could make a joke, might be

02:08George Pickens' hands, huh?
