00:00In Commander's Win, 23 to 20, obviously they cover, they win outright, and we see the underhit,

00:08it finishes with 43 total points. The game was firmly in the balance there for so many

00:14different reasons in the second half. One note that I want to make is let's just say, hypothetically,

00:21the Bucs were to come away with the win, 23 to 20. We have to remember, this very show,

00:27one week ago, I was on the show when the regular season ended after Lions and Vikings,

00:34the Commanders opened this three and a half point favorites, or excuse me,

00:37Commanders opened this three and a half point underdogs. The Bucs were three and a half point

00:41favorites. So, hypothetically, if the Bucs were to win this game by a field goal, they would have

00:45covered, or you would have had a push at the three line, but you would have had a win if you took the

00:49Commanders all the way when the line opened. So the point being, lines early in the week,

00:55as we will go through now for next week's games, are extremely, extremely important.

01:01Player props that we already have posted for Ravens and Bills, for Texans and Chiefs,

01:07early lines are extremely important, and we are literally dealing with games that are coin flips.

01:12Now, coming up at the end of the broadcast for Sunday Night Football, they said they would be

01:18announcing the times of the games, if that matters to some people. Hopefully, we'll get that

01:22information, and we will update all of that. So, lots of cover. Commanders come away with the win,

01:2823 to 20. Gene Daniels looks awesome. Baker, listen, a 15 of 18 on surface level. It's

01:37extremely efficient. He's not throwing the ball away. Baker, the player who led the league,

01:42tied for the most picks, no picks from him. Only 185 yards with two touchdowns.

01:46Bucky Irving looks pretty good on the ground. Great game for Mike Evans. The fumble,

01:52the jet sweep fumble to McMillan didn't work out. Crazy games back and forth. Gene Daniels

01:59looks awesome. 268, two touchdowns from him. Kiyomi Brown was awesome. McGoran was awesome.

02:06Even Auston Eckland had a very solid combined role, rushing plus receiving.

02:10Brian Robinson did nothing, which I spoke about on In Game Live with Joe, Adam, and Scott. I said I

02:15like Brian Robinson, specifically under 46 and a half rushing yards. He did not get that. He finished

02:20with 10 carries for 16 yards. That was a clear under. So good stuff from the commanders. They

02:27were the sixth seed in this. So they will go on the road to take on the Lions next week. And again,

02:36we should be getting those updated schedule for next week because it does not matter what happens

02:42in the game between the Rams and the Vikings tomorrow. They will go on the road to take on

02:50Philly. I think that's what it is, whatever it might be.
