00:00The first game of the two, it is the Washington Commanders.

00:04Can they do it one more time?

00:05They're taking on the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:07George, the Commanders, so much remind me,

00:09so much remind me of that Cincinnati Bengals team

00:14of a few years ago.

00:15They can't win the division.

00:16They can't win this.

00:17They can't win the AFC Championship.

00:19And Joe Burrow and it was, yeah,

00:22Jamar Chase, T. Higgins, Mixon,

00:24those guys went right to the Super Bowl

00:26and then, you know, they fell down.

00:27And look, I could see that happening to Washington.

00:29I am taking the Commanders again.

00:32I may be the only one in the world.

00:34I mean, crazy as it sounds,

00:36back in late September, early October,

00:39to pick them to go to the Super Bowl.

00:41What's funny, a lot of people did listen to me.

00:43I'm getting a lot of messages saying,

00:44oh my gosh, you really called that?

00:46And they're also asking me

00:47why I didn't take them to win the Super Bowl.

00:49I mean, it's Buffalo or Kansas City.

00:51I kind of thought we'd be headed down that road,

00:53Buffalo, Kansas City, Baltimore.

00:54And then at that point,

00:56it could get really difficult for Washington,

00:58but I'm here to tell you, I'm a believer.

01:01I have been a believer.

01:02I said they would beat Detroit outright last week.

01:05I believe they're going to go to Philadelphia.

01:07And I think that this is gonna be a heck of a game.

01:09Now, do I think that Washington,

01:12with a minute to go, is gonna have the game in hand?

01:16No, I don't.

01:17I think this is coming right down to the end,

01:20a kick of some kind,

01:22but it does seem like a team of destiny.

01:26I'm not playing any injury concerns

01:28with Hurts or anything like that,

01:30because I do think Vic Fangio is fantastic.

01:32Game planning against Daniels

01:33is gonna be a much tougher road,

01:36but I think that both games are gonna be good

01:39and down to the wire.

01:40So I would take the points here.

01:43Well, first off, obviously I'm not a fan

01:46of any of these four teams.

01:46That's what I'm hoping for.

01:47I want to be entertained tomorrow.

01:49I want to see good games.

01:50And I agree with you.

01:50I think both games will be good, tight contests here.

01:54Already said earlier in the show,

01:55I'm gonna take the Washington points.

01:57All right, I think they cover the spread here.

01:59I might feel differently if Hurts was at 100%,

02:01but even when at 100%,

02:02he wasn't throwing them all that great

02:04over the last month of the season here.

02:06We know him and AJ Brown

02:07have had a disconnect for a while now here.

02:09I think Philadelphia likely does win the game,

02:12but I think Washington covers.

02:13And as I said earlier, if Washington wins,

02:16I'm not surprised.

02:17They, in some ways, do seem to be a team of destiny.

02:20You know, I do think it's gonna be a little hard

02:22beating Philadelphia on the road.

02:24A team that's been here before,

02:26I've done that and all that,

02:27but I don't feel great about the Eagles here.

02:29I'll tell you, as a Calgary fan,

02:30there's no one for me to root for here.

02:31I mean, this is, I mean, you're talking about the team,

02:34the top two teams I probably hate the most, right?

02:37Eagles and Commanders here.

02:39So it's just, you gotta be kidding me.

02:42And by the way, Jerry,

02:43this is what happens when a team like Washington

02:45gets rid of a bad owner and gets real.

02:48They get real good in two years, Jerry.

02:50Go figure.

02:51Bottom line is this.

02:52I'm gonna take the Commander.

02:53Eagles to win, Commanders to cover.

02:56You know what's funny also?

02:57I know Magic Johnson still has association

03:00directly with the Lakers,

03:01maybe not as much as he did in the past.

03:02It feels like everything Magic Johnson touches

03:04immediately is good.

03:05I mean, what's this?

03:06It's gold.

03:07It's gold.

03:08Everything this guy does, business, football,

03:10baseball, does he do a little soccer at all?

03:12I mean, I gotta pick that team too.
