All right, let's start.

This is an easy one.

Guys will just spitballing back and forth this Sunday next up at Dallas.

The Nucci win key win.

Okay, then now this is intriguing because this guy's a little better than DeNucci.

They will host the Bengals when man stop, not the Bengals ain't gonna beat them.

I mean, I think Joe Burrow the way he played last game.

It could be interesting if he gets cool.

E would still have Pittsburgh favorite stop man.

Then they'll go to Jacksonville.

The mustache stop.

That's a win.

So now we're 10.

You know the Ravens.

That's the game.

That's the one.

They'll host Baltimore Thanksgiving night in front of the entire country.

It could be interesting, but I still think that Pittsburgh it's the same thing.

What what?

What are they going to do to make a difference for Lamar Jackson in the passing game?

What are they going to do?

Are they going to go out in a choir?

An Alfa dog at wide receiver?

They're going to go get me a 63 £210 sub 44 guy that they're gonna find somewhere they got 8.5 hours to do with the deadline for you.

Find me that dude.

I need one of them.

Do well, Mike Tomlin, the sailors, They don't fear the Ravens.

As he said, they don't feel the Ravens.

So I look forward to that game.

Okay, so now we're 11, and oh, then the only team that could beat them is the Colts.

The Colts are the Ravens.

Those air to I mean, maybe the bills we'll get to the culture.

You don't really.

Here's the Here's the crazy thing about it is the only team that can beat them in our eyes.

Maybe like the coats and maybe the bills, maybe the Ravens.

But there's always this team that you never think about that all of a sudden you look up me go.

Oh, damn.

They down by how many?

You know, So you just gotta be careful.

That's why I'm not always a 16 0, 16 and oh, because as you start to get into week 13, 12 and it starts to come up even mawr, that pressure starts toe.

Come on.

The stress level of going 16 and oh, that's a lot.

I mean, you had this conversation about the Kansas City Chiefs.

I told them, and they're not going 16.

0, then they get popped by the Raiders that they did.

Let's run through it real quick.

Week 13 as you mentioned that 12 13, 14 15 16 17 Washington football team.

Obviously, when it should be a win, but you just never know a interesting game.

Kyle Allen may come out and just torture them, and then it will be at Buffalo.

That's the one.

You kinda had a little trepidation.

About a minute you go.

Okay, Buffalo What?

You know, what's the environment?

Flight?

Snow, rain?

No state.

Nobody understands.

It feels like a practice.

You slip up and you lose that game.

Borough again.

After that, I just Yeah, look, I would love to see a team go undefeated.

It just seems improbable in the year that we have co vid.

We have a lot of health issues that come up.

It just it seems so tough.

I would love to see it happen, especially to a team that I said the beginning year.

I thought they were one of the best teams in the NFL and Jay, you were a little more bullish on the Colts.

That would be their penultimate game, Week 16, presuming they're coming in at 14 and because their defense is ridiculous and just depends upon what Philip Rivers you get that day.

But see, you never know.

By the time they get the Week 16, the divisions wrapped up.

Seeding is wrapped up.

Now.

They just like whatever.

But what about in Week 17?

If the Browns, the Week 17 opponent, is fighting for their playoff lives?

Doesn't matter if I'm if I'm already packed in in Week 17, go ahead.

Fight for the playoff life.

Ben's not playing, you know so and so is not playing.

Were resting our guys.

That would be my philosophy.

So you would say it.

15.

To know Tony Dungy and the Colts had to deal with this before it.

15.

To know, with the chance for perfection of Pittsburgh is sealed the deal in Cleveland's fighting for its life.

You'd rather say, Let's just lose this game, Go 15.

And when we got the top seed and what did any of those perfections get?

Anybody other than Miami Dolphins.

Correct?

The Colts did not win the Super Bowl.

That particular?

Yes, the coach didn't win the Super Bowl, and neither did the New York.

I mean, neither did the New England Patriots is melting down over your 15.

And no, you're telling me you don't just continue, continue to strive for perfection, for excellence, and the Denver Broncos were 14 and two at year.

They lost to the Giants when they rolled in the Giant stadium at 13 13.

And so it just doesn't your mind.

J.

I understand from a fan's standpoint, you wanna, you know, you want to get to the 16.

0, but from a coach's off front office organizational standpoint, the New England Patriots win 16.

And because they wanted to prove to people that they were not cheating and they were gonna change that narrative by looking us, we're gonna roll, regardless of what you all say when other teams get there.

It's just not an interest of coaches.

They'd rather get out of their healthy Well, you know, in a year like this, I can see where that would make sense just because they're still in any year now.

I know but especially this year, because the Steelers didn't get there by week.

Right due to the Cove it issue with the Titans.

Is that right?

So they didn't get the virus.

They're playing X amount of weeks straight, but in the normal, I don't know that's a different conversation.

If it was a normal year, I I don't know.
