00:00Love it. All right, Daris, thank you very much. That is a look at the other games.

00:04Let's look at Washington's game. A couple things by the numbers here.

00:09Overall, Washington right now, it depends on your sports book, I've seen them as low as an

00:13eight and a half point dog, seen them as high as nine and a half, depends on where

00:17you look, consensus right around nine. Over under this week, in this game, is the

00:21highest of the weekend, 55 and a half. Meaning, the idea is that points are

00:27going to be scored in this one. For my point of comparison, Houston and Kansas

00:30City, 41 and a half. Almost two touchdowns less. Actually, exactly two

00:34touchdowns less than this Washington-Detroit game. So ultimately, Tobes,

00:39how do you see it? Like, if you got to bet that mortgage, you got to bet the house,

00:44you got to, you know, make the bet to win. How does it go? What do you see? What are

00:49some of the things you'd be taking if you were a gambler, man? Yeah, this is so

00:52tough. I think that they can cover the the point spread. There's no doubt about

00:56it. I think this is gonna be a close game. I think this is gonna be a fun one. By the

00:59way, I think there's three potential outcomes in this one. I think Detroit

01:02can win close. I think Detroit can win big. I don't think Washington can win big.

01:06I agree. If Washington wins, it's going to be close. I agree with that. And so I think

01:09two out of the three outcomes are that it's a close game. I think that can

01:13happen. So I think Washington keeps it close. But Danny, I feel like a kid again.

01:18I can't pick against them. I can't. If you're telling me to put money on it, all

01:24my money on it, I'm not going to do it. But I'm not gonna pick against them. I'm

01:27not gonna pick that Washington can't go in to Detroit and find a way to get it

01:31done because they've got the quarterback. I think it's gonna be high scoring. Last

01:34week I said 34-31 against Tampa. I said Washington was gonna beat Tampa. I think

01:39it's gonna be a similar style game. Although last week obviously didn't match

01:43that point total. I think it's the same sort of thing going in. They're gonna

01:46have to score a lot of points. I'll go with the same sort of thing. 34-31.

01:49Washington goes in there. It comes down to Jaden Daniels at the end. Finds a way

01:53to get it done. And we're talking NFC Championship football next week.

01:57Daris, I go to you sir. How does this game go? Just think about the spread. Does

02:02Washington cover? Is it a lower scoring game than we think? Higher than we think?

02:05Can Washington win this thing? Just kind of give me your feel. I wish it was a

02:11lower scoring game because I think if it was a lower scoring game it might favor

02:14us a little bit better. But I do think this is gonna be a higher scoring game. I

02:18think there's gonna be a lot of emotions involved. Obviously that crowd is gonna be

02:21pumped up. But I think this team has the guts and the will with the wherewithal

02:26to handle that crowd. Washington definitely covers. I just I think this

02:32team has too much passion and too much heart to not cover that eight

02:38and a half point, nine and a half point spread. Do they win? It's gonna

02:45be tough. It really is. Just like we've been saying all week. It's gonna come

02:49down to if we can get that final possession and if we get that final

02:51position possession everybody in this area is gonna have faith that that

02:55quarterback that wears number five on his jersey is gonna get it done. And if

02:58we can get that final possession I think I think he will. And I'm gonna say that

03:03I want Washington that Washington will win. We'll see though it's gonna be it's

03:07gonna be a tough battle tomorrow night. Yes it is. They're great. Detroit's great.

03:10I think that's how Washington fans feel. Like how Daris is saying like I

03:14think anyone that is a big fan of this team they want to say they're gonna win

03:17but you're like the other team just that much better. Yeah you're doing they're like

03:20they're gonna win. You scratch the top of your head yeah. Here are a couple things I think about this one.

03:27Number one I think this goes under because I see a similar script even

03:33though again Detroit's offense is incredible but a similar path a similar

03:37script for keeping the football away from Detroit. Right Tampa Bay's defense

03:42is much better than Detroit's defense. Yes. I see Washington limiting possession

03:46so instead of everybody gets seven or eight everybody gets five or six. Okay and

03:51I think that lowers the point total a little bit. I don't think there'll be a

03:54lot of stops. I don't think you're gonna see either punter a whole heck of a lot

03:57based on fourth downs based on the fact either these defenses can really do much

04:00about the other. But I do think this game goes under simply because this is not

04:04the Big 12. We're not going bing bing bing pinball style and everything will

04:08be deep over the top open and obvious and it's just a bunch of catching

04:11explosions. I think everybody keeps everything in front as long as possible

04:15and makes teams drive and I think they will drive and I think they will score.

04:18So I think this game goes under. I think Washington covers in this game. I think

04:23Washington is close enough in this game because I don't think they're pushovers.

04:27Even if they get down I don't count them out. I've learned my lesson. I'm sitting

04:31there sending those panic tweets when they looked abominable against

04:36Philadelphia. When they couldn't figure out which which was their button which

04:40was their elbow in some of these games and came back and won them. I will not

04:45count them out and nor should you. So I think Washington keeps it close enough.

04:48I will also say this. Sometimes you are watching something unfold that you don't

04:56completely understand. You know you're watching something special. You know

05:01you're watching something great. You know you're watching something that's rare and

05:05you can't put your finger on exactly how. Fairy dust, camaraderie, brotherhood,

05:11togetherness, battle-tested, whatever catchphrase you want. The answer is yeah

05:15because it's probably true. When you believe that you're capable of more

05:20somehow you keep doing more and that bar raises. Jerks like me can look at your

05:25roster and go um Jamison Crowder, Elamity Zaccheaus, Tommy Brown. This is

05:33going to be a good offense? No. Back in the springtime. It's a great offense.

05:39There's a reason their pros, I'm a pudgy idiot, hanging out with you guys at a

05:43sports bar. You see what I'm saying? This group is different. We're going to see

05:49how different. Detroit is about to experience how different this group

05:55happens to be. Detroit, God bless you, you deserve it, but it ain't your time.

06:00Detroit, hell of a season. Enjoy the offseason which is about to start in

06:07about 28 hours. You got Daniels. That's number five. Remember it. You'll see the

06:14back of his jersey an awful lot as he trots into the end zone. You might get to

06:18see a couple different touchdown celebrations. God forbid there's time on

06:22that clock when you give him the football back. I'll hear the collective

06:27sealing up with the boxes of the greater 313. You're going to get Daniels.

06:33We're coming in on Monday afternoon people, talking about a team going to the

06:40GD Conference Championship game. The Washington 53. Your team, my team, this

06:50team isn't here to get a participation trophy. They are here to

06:55smack you in the mouth and your mouth will be smacked. We're gentlemen so

07:00here's a handkerchief to dab it, but you're going to have to deal with the

07:02blood. Jaden Daniels versus everybody. 26-24 last-second touchdowns to Zach

07:10Ertz sends you to the conference title game. Washington wins. How do you like

07:15them apples? Let's go baby. How do you like them apples? Let's go baby. The times they are

07:18changing.
