WFAN Daily: NFL Preview with Jack & Harrison Francesa

[Music] New York is the city that never sleeps and neither does s Lata from flushing in the Bronx to the Meadowlands in MSG s sounds off on the biggest sports news of the day welcome to WFAN daily with s lot hi that's me all right it's been a while we've been on vacation trying to enjoy the summer a little bit podcast free but we're back with a bang here for this newest edition of the WF and Deli podcast a very special edition as we look forward to the start of the NFL season just a few days away one of my favorite things about WFAN and the football season was always the Mike and the Mad Dog over unders and then when Mad Dog left I had the honor if you could believe it to do the overuns with Mike Franca the man himself so today I wanted to welcome in two very special guests both sons of Mike Francesa Jack Frances and Harrison Francesa and we are going to do the old school over unders you know the rules if you listening to mik and the Mad Dog if you don't let me explain them to you it's simple we go by the over under numbers I have them right here we'll go over that as you guys pick here I'm sure they're basically similar across the board you pick either an over or an under for a team obviously once you take that team it is off the board neither of us can then pick it you could have head-to heads we'll each draft five so there'll be 15 total along the way and I figured we'd start us off I don't know about Jack you could help me out with this you want to go youngest to oldest here or you want to go middle young old I'll go last you guys could go first Jack you could pick though I I'll let Harrison go first because ah all right theer to the youngster perfect perfect all right now are you guys familiar with it like did you ever listen to your father do it with doggy or or back in the day where they had the you know the over under picks the famous picks they used to do I've never listened to it live but I mean I've heard his heard on the radio Bunch okay all right so you know though the premise of what we're doing exactly okay just making sure all right Harrison perfect you are the youngest you are on the board with the first pick of the 2024 WFA and daily over unders for the NFL season what do you got all right I'll start it off with bears over eight and a half is what I got here I I like the team they they went really nice at the end of the season last year uh obviously they have K Williams who people think is going to be a generational talent I like the wide receivers they got with Keenan I like Pringle I obviously like their o their uh their other first round draft pick Odun and they also added Kiren bird got um I mean Kevin byard and Jaylen Johnson so you're getting more depth in the defense too so I think this team can win well over eight and a half games and I think they're gonna be a playoff team so I think that's a solid number one pick all right Bears over 8 and a half for Harrison I have to ask you before we get Jack's pick how much of this was influence Harrison by watching Hard Knocks cuz I get sucked in every year you watch The Hard Knocks oh this team's going to be good and generally doesn't work out like that was there any Hard Knocks bias in your pick here I wouldn't call it hard knocks bias I would say it confirmed my pick I like the chemistry they had in the in the team meetings and all that other stuff I think the team is meshing well because I a lot of people said they didn't think Caleb was going to be accepted by other players because he's more he's very out of like got all over the place so him showing that the team likes him in Hard Knocks or what that's what I saw at least made this pick easier to take all right jack you're on the bo were you gonna take the Bears at all Jack I have a feeling you were going to go in a different direction a so I was actually planning well no I'm not doing it anymore but I was gonna plan on eventually taking the bears under but I decided earlier I decided earlier to knock that off so I'm not okay all right I think my my first pick is pretty self-explanatory going Falcons over nine and a half well explain it I know you're a big Falcon fan which I can't believe both Jack and I big Falcon fans are you going Falcons over nine and a half yeah so first of all they have the easiest schedule in the league they won seven games last year with Desmond Ritter as their quarterback who's not in the league anymore they have they had added Kurt Cousins they added Matthew judon they added Justin Simmons and they added good draft picks um I think kurk cousin's going to come back with a vengeance after his injury I love the combin a of bej Robinson and Tyler aler of course I think Kyle pittz is going to show us who he really is and Drake London is going to prove to be a top 10 wide receiver in the NFL this year hey defense will hold defense will this guy loves the Falcons I can't believe it somebody that loves the Falcons more than me I'll never forget my favorite over under ever it was a first year dog left and your dad like I was saying before had me do the over unders and I picked the Falcons and it was Matt Ryan's rookie year so Mike Smith Matt Ryan rookie year and I'm like I'm watch them in the preseason everybody in the league thought they were going to be the worst team in the league so much so that they were picking the Lions to knock out the Falcons in the week one of The Knockout picks and I just remember and their number was four and a half and I'm like Mike they're going over this number I really feel to watch them in the preseason and of course they made the PO uh yeah they made the postseason that year in Ryan's rookie year so I understand I'm assuming Jack that this is not just a fan bias I know you love the Falcons but you're seeing something and believing in this team as well they won seven games last year with Desmond Ritter as their quarterback and Arthur Smith as their coach Arthur Smith's offense last year was it hurt my eyes to watch my eyes and there were games there was a game against the commanders and there was a game I forget the second game but clear wins that they sold and if they can't win three more games than they did last year they should just sell sell house like I I hope look nine and a half is a lot to get the 10 wins but I hope that they were able to get there schedule in the league so I think they can do it because they're also a very good team I don't I would not be surprised if they're top three offense in the whole entire league after this year you think they go to the Super Bowl I think it's tough I think the Eagles are good I think the lions are good and I think the Niners are good but our o line is ranked two in P PFF right now our weapons are great our defense is going to be good this year so I think they could go to the Super Bowl I don't I don't know if they will but I think they definitely can Kirk Kirk really needs to prove himself this year if they want to go to the Super Bowl all right so I was not going to take the Falcons I'm glad you did um because I just can't go down that road with them I was not going take I I am going I have a lot here all my picks are alive that I was coming in here with so far I'm trying to think of one that you guys would take so now for the record if I wanted to take the Bears or Falcons I could not they're off the board just so we know I am going to go with I'm gonna take the commanders over six and a half wins now I don't like the commanders never have really never will however reading about them doing some PR and by the way I don't like Dan Quinn because I am a falcon fan and he blew the Super Bowl 28 to3 all that stuff but I do feel like with Jaden Daniels and the L I mean they are freaking loaded on offense Cliff Kingsbury I don't like him as a head coach but as an offensive coordinator different story plus I don't think Dallas or Philadelphia are going to be as good as they've been in years past now does that mean the commander is going to be a playoff team no but all I have to do is get to Seven win what what weapons do they have dude no they got their running back room is pretty stacked only Jaden Daniels in my eyes no Eckler Robinson M I don't think Eckler's any good anymore oh Eckler what are we doing here he's not gonna be the featured back Eckler in that with Kingsbury is an offensive genius I don't think he's a good head coach but he's an offensive genius I think and look I'm telling you I don't like Dan Quinn but something about the red the the Redskins something about the commanders I think they're going to surprise some people and I think they're going to finish better than people I'm going to go over it's a low number so put me on the board for commanders over six and a half my question to you about the commanders is more their defense last year was so awful that I thought I was watching a a JV football team H how are they going to stop anybody they can't out they're not gonna be they're just gonna have to outscore people that's gonna be tough well here's the thing Dan Quinn especially first year there's gonna be a bump up in defense now he he was disappointing as a head coach as far as the defense went with Atlanta those years but I do think he's going to transition this team to being improved defensively now again remember so as long as they were improved from a year ago defensively with Jaden Daniels I think this really comes down to Jaden Daniels what's he gonna do in his rookie year all the other pieces around him I think are pretty solid you're only talking about six and a half wins I'm gonna what's that line the old line is terrible all right the old line I mean there's a reason why it's six and a half I me Daniel is a runner too it's GNA it's going to come down to his Mobility a lot of the times too what happens when he rolls out and and he's 190 pounds soaking wet and gets hit by someone who can you know what's funny I was looking up their backup quarterback and it's not a pretty situation there so he needs to stay healthy all right so go ahead Harrison you're on the board here pick number two round two round two give me Chargers under eight and a half they are they won six games last year this is two and a half higher than their performance last year obviously people were just going based off of Harbaugh being in there but they lost Keenan they lost Eckler they lost Mike Williams they have no receivers I mean they they got Gus Edwards but I he's he's okay I mean they bolstered the offensive line a little bit but I don't love the team in general and they have a and their conference is an is horrible to face the Chiefs are going to beat them every time I think the Raiders are have a good shot this year at beating them every both times too so eight and a half just seems like a stretch to me I think they could get to seven or and improve the team or even eight but I think winning nine games is a little ridiculous for this squad okay so Chargers under eight and a half all right jack what do you got here all right uh I'm Gonna Knock one of my confident ones off the board here and go Lions over 10 and a half o High number yeah wow their schedule isn't the easiest but I just think their team is too good their o line is good their the running back situation is great the one two punch of Montgomery and Gibbs we got 14 out of their first 15 games being in a dome Jared gof is going to thrive off of bat their weapons are great leaport Jameson Williams claims that he'll be the best receiver in the league this year so we'll see how that goes we still got Aman Ross St Brown Aiden Hutchinson is gonna you're gonna see him this year a lot he's gonna cause a lot of havoc in that backfield for opposing teams and uh I just think their their defense is even better than it was last year and it literally could be the year to win the Super Bowl yeah I mean look I like the Lions as a team I just when we're doing these over unders a lot has to go right for 11 wins for Detroit I mean look maybe this is a Super Bowl year for them I I could see it I think it's a gutsy pick build an off the last year um for me a high total I'm gonna go I agree I'm gonna go with my next Pi you would go under Harrison you still could by the way no no you can't the lions are off the board now no no no the over is off the board Oh I thought both was off the board they had 12 wins last year I think they got better just no right okay fair enough so just for clarification purposes the the under would still be on the board for both Falcons and Lions or vice versa for you you know the Chargers the over whatever or the commanders over you guys are ripping me for my commander pick then one of you better take the uh the under on it Nick serani is a doofus so I just don't believe in him he is a dead man walking a team that you had to question their heart at the end of last year I like the addition to sequan Barkley and I do think they're going to do things different this year and they still may be good and how could you knocked the town as I was saying before I'm going to go under though 10 and a half is a lot maybe they get to 10 wins and I still am able to win that bet I do think the division is going to be better with even the Giants playing a little bit better than they did a year ago more respectable same thing with the commanders so I'm going Eagles under 10 and a half largely because I don't believe in serani and I think they're going to take a step back I also don't necessarily I don't know what to believe with Jaylen Herz anymore at times I watch Herz and I think he's great other times I'm like What's Going On Here Also let's not minimize the loss of Jason Kelce everybody talks about offensive line offensive line how important it is which it is important so then why am I just going to ignore losing one of the most intrical parts of the Philadelphia Eagles team for years no Kelce serani I'm going under Eagles 10 and a half fair enough I agree with that honestly can't okay do you think do you think the eagle secondary is gonna be their worst aspect this year again like like what their downfall last year or you think it's going to be maybe losing Kel and Cox or Jaylen Herz performances um Johnson still on still playing yes you know I I don't know Harrison about the specifics of their secondary I just think that overall and again downfall is relative right like I could pick the under but we're talking about they could still win 10 games maybe win a division at 10 games so I just don't think they're going to be as good as everybody just assumes pencil and the Eagles because they've been good so I think it's more less about the secondary and what they do there to improve which we'll see how it plays out you know season we hear in the off season oh Giants offensive line is better it's so much better is it can we watch it play out so we won't really learn these type of things specific things till week four week five but going in my main reason is I don't believe in the head coach and I think the loss of Kelce will be a major major loss for the Eagles yeah go ahead Harrison you're on the clock again all right I'm gonna go titans over six and a half wins I like Levis here I think he's gonna have a a very good season I I think he's a I think he's a underrated quarterback I think the addition of jerus Sneed from the Chiefs who did not give up a touchdown until the Super Bowl of last year will be a great addition to the defense locking up wide receiver ones and man coverage and then the addition of Calvin Ridley I think he's going to have a good season so I think he's getting more weapons on offense to throw the ball to and even though they lost Henry they replaced him with a I would say a solid running back so I think they have definitely have the chance to go over six in a half you you looked at their schedule yeah their schedule isn't the easiest but it isn't the it isn't the worst in the league but I think that they're going to shock some people with just how they play and how they play on offenses specifically I I I like it it's a bold pick I I would not do it myself and the main reason is because I think their division has the potential to be tough I mean what do you think it does have the it definitely can be tough we we know what the Texans are right yeah we know that jaguars and Colts easily have a shot at winning the division as well that's well that's my point so if Richardson is healthy and the Colts are good same thing with you know the the Jaguars owner saying this is a make a break year basically for everybody that's where it could be tricky to get to that number but you're on the books here Harrison over I like it bold pick Titans over six and a half all right jack what do you got um I'm gonna fade the past uh I think decade now I'm gonna go Steelers under eight and a half um obviously uh coach is great I mean he hasn't had a losing record in a lot of I don't know how long it's been now but first of all the addition of Arthur Smith might be the worst tier ever after his offensive showing last year so and then getting Justin fields and uh Russell Wilson I really don't know who will be the starter because I know Russell Wilson's a starter right now but will he last the whole season I know he played all right last year but uh I don't know how effective this run game will be with Naji Harrison Jaylen Warren I'm not sure how effective they will be um uh wh which QB will Thrive like like I said I don't know if they said they're gonna have a Justin Fields package I don't know how that's gonna work I feel like they don't trust a running package yeah probably but I don't think they trust either quarterback that much and uh I don't know how I this I feel I feel like the o line is very shaky and I know that the defense will definitely hold teams to not a lot of points but I don't think their offense will be able to um meet the requirement in order to win enough games I think they could get eight but I don't I mean I I think they can get eight but I don't think they'll get uh nine for sure right all right so you got the Steelers at under eight and a half now where are you Harrison what number do you have on the Steelers because I'm seeing seven and a half online for Steelers I'm seeing eight and a half here too where are you getting this Jack this I got mine okay you guys eight and a half all right so we'll go with that so far all the numbers have been okay just that one was a different one here Fox Sports has it at eight and a half right okay all right so Steelers under eight and a half look that's another bold pick because like you said you're picking against a coach who never I mean they never finish you know less than 500 so uh I don't like the quarterback situation either with Russell division is also extremely difficult yeah that is true the Browns defense I'm pretty their schedule is difficult as well one of the hardest they have one of the hardest schedules in the League this year I like it bold pick I like it now I have so many here none of you guys are taking the picks that I like I'm just trying to make sure I get everything organized and and get one that I want here I'm going to do this one I'm going to go Miami Dolphins over oh I I think the like the fact that what happened what's the number I have it at nine and a half years I it too yeah I have it too yeah it what's your bills number I have bills at 10 and a half I have Bill and a n and a half yeah see I don't understand I don't understand that I think Miami is gonna be the main competition for the Jets in the AFC East I like Mike McDaniels I mean look he's a quirky guy but he clearly knows what he's doing you know the the Dolphins offense has been very consistent and their defense has been solid enough even last year I thought they had a chance to beat the Chiefs in that playoff game and they really did if they just want to clean things up a little bit I think Miami is very dangerous a dangerous sleeper everybody's given the division of the Jets everybody's dismissing Buffalo although the over under total would would lead you to believe they're not really dismissing Buffalo and I wouldn't dismiss Buffalo but the fact that the Dolphins their number is nine and a half wins with that off defense with their coach I think Miami is going to go over that I could see them easily getting 10 wins maybe higher so I'm going to go Miami and their offensive weapons to get me at least 10 wins yeah the thing that killed Miami last year was just that def all the defensive injuries were insane they had I think three starters playing by the end of the season on defense so when they're healthy they haven't really struggled so I mean yeah that's definitely definitely a live pick they struggle to be teams with winning records as we've seen yeah the playoff game I remember actually because it was the last game that I bet on and I bet Miami and I remember thinking that they had a chance now look it also could be you you look at this and you say all right well what are the Jets going to be how good are they GNA be and how good is Buffalo gonna be if you want to talk about that win but outside of that I don't think Miami has that difficult to schedule I mean look it's not a layup here but I they're a good team they should be able to get to 10 wins if they finish with fewer than 10 wins I think that'd be a terribly disappointing season for Miami I agree all right Harrison you're up all right which pick is this do you do you have the this four I believe you're on number four you get two more to go uh give me bucks over seven and a half I was big on the I was big on the baker Mayfield train last year I love Rashad white at running back I think he's great uh the team has played well the past couple years they've they've won the division uh they've just been they've been over their win total four of the past six four the past six years they win nine games last year obviously I think the Falcons got a lot better that's why their win total went down but this team made the playoffs and performed in them last year I think Baker Mayfield is goingon to have a good season I think he has the weapons to perform on offense and I think the defense is solid they have a really good they have some strong players in the secondary and I think they're going to be able to compete again because I mean the Falcons are GNA give them trouble but I don't like the Saints and I don't like the Panthers so I think that they're going to have they don't have the hardest Road and that's just I think they're going to win over seven and a half games yeah I like that I think if you're picking if you're looking to find who's going to finish second behind Atlanta and again I'm not giving the Falcons the division but they certainly should be the favorites in that division do you think it's going to be do you believe more for get Carolina do you believe more in the bucks or do you believe more in the Saints and you're saying Harrison you believe in the Bucks which I would too I think Dennis Allen's gonna get fired eventually I don't think New Orleans is that good either I think New Orleans just has a lot of missing pieces and I think the Bucks they they kept enough guys and they they resigned a bunch of guys so all these guys have new contracts and they're just coming off a season where they overperformed and I think they're going to want to match that performance okay all right jack you're on the clock here number four uh I'm going with Cardinals under seven and a half wins okay now I have it six and a half what do you have Harrison um I have six and a half I had seven and a half so Jack do you want to stick with Cardinals because we're gonna go six and a half majority rules um or you can switch your pick you have six and a half yeah we six and a half I'm still gonna go six and a half all right uh you're going under six and a half I like it under six and a half confidence uh first of all their defense is terrible like terrible they might have the worst defense in the League this year and I think their o line is just as bad I know Kyler Murray can scramble but I don't think him and Marvin Harrison can do it all I know they have Trey McBride and he's a good piece but I just think their defense will I don't think their offense will be able to keep up with how bad their defense is and their schedules I think 21st out of 32 and I just don't think they'll be be able to compete with it I don't think the coaching staff is that good I don't I don't I just think this team might be the worst team in the league behind the Patriots you don't think that they can produce on offense with Marv and a strong titani McBride or no Marv Marv name I re I really don't I mean that's two guys I don't think their running game will be that strong James Conor's okay but I really just think it's the defense and their o line can't block so Kyler Murray is goingon to have to do a lot of scrambling which he can do but we see that he's injury prone a little bit so I don't know if he'll stay healthy and I just don't think Marvin Harrison Jr and Trey MC Pride can do it all all right so there you go you're under with the Cardinal six and a half uh so wait I'm on the clock now we each got after this one we'll each have one more final pick so we almost wrapping this up here and then we're going to do as I was telling uh you know Jackson and Harrison off the air when we agreed to do this pod or whatever we're going to do a midseason review and see where we're at and then we'll do a finale again and hopefully we can make this a little bit of a tradition here so we'll have some fun doing these picks all right I'm going I am what number do you have the Broncos at here um I'm at five and a half me too I'm going over I am going Broncos over and fool me for believing in last year I ripped Shawn Payton saying that the game has passed them by I'm going to buy in a little bit of what's going on in the preseason with Bon Shawn pton as much I despise him and mainly it's because he was a Saints coach and I hate the New Orleans Saints for being a Falcons fan he knows what he's doing he can coach football he turned it around last year with a team that stunk he at least got him to play a little bit respectable so for me that's a low number now I'm I you know look B knck who the hell knows here but based on the preseason based on Shawn Payton's pedigree based on the low number and the really low expectations I know it's a tough division very tough division especially I think the charge is going to be better so I disagree with you Harrison on that pick I was just about to ask about that yeah I disagree with that so I think the Chiefs and Chargers will be good I still think dude you're talking about six wins I mean if Shawn Payton can't win six games he should pack it in so give me Denver over five gonna really be and and who's who's who main targets like yeah I mean look I know they lost Tim Patrick who was a favorite receiver of mine I also don't believe though I don't believe in building like the fantasy JY as well yeah I don't believe in building outside in the fantasy way like oh who are his receivers yeah how'd that work with Jerry JY like total bust so I believe I'm gonna believe in Payton without knowing the ins and outs and all the details about the Broncos just following from a fall what's gone on there the fact that they went to B knck the fact that bonick is seemingly taken control ready as a rookie him and Payton together I'm not asking for playoffs I'm asking for six wins I think it's an extremely low number and almost disrespectful to pton I'm going to go Denver over five and a half I I agree with you on the I agree with you on the fact with the oh I don't know what that was uh I agree with you on the fact tell Frank you call back later it was my dad actually was it yeah so I agree with the fact that you build from the quarterback out and not wide receivers in but what do you think just about the Raiders too because I don't think they're going to beat the Chargers I don't think they're going to beat the Chiefs the Raiders though they are on the they're that'll be a competitive few games so do you think it's gonna be those gonna be the make or break games yeah I'm not right probably with the Raiders because you would think those two teams will be battling for I think for third place because I think the Chiefs in charge will be battling for first place I don't I'm not as high on the Raiders as like I like Antonio Pierce I think it was a nice story last year push comes to sh I'm going to believe in Shawn Payton and bonck now look maybe I'm dead wrong and they they win three games maybe they're the worst team in the league here but I just have a feeling and seeing that number that low number jumped out to me if it were six and a half I wouldn't touch it five and a half it's a totally different story so I think Denver could be more than respectable with Shawn Payton and bonck I think you'll be surprised how bad they're gonna be yeah yeah I mean maybe all right Harrison last round your final pick what do you got all right so for final pick this is gonna this is gonna be the the crazy one but I've had this I when I was doing my research I had the feeling so I decided to go against the grain here I'm going Pats over four and a half my God I love to hear the reasons behind this they had four wins last year let's just put that down and that was a mess of a season they're under new they're under new coaching sta I let and I think it's just gonna come down to Drake May and I think and I think no no no and I think it's just going to come down to him stealing games like they might go to the Jets and steal a game and I think if he can do that and win against one good team because he has they have the worst schedule in the league May isn't the starter for now yeah I think know I think he will be though okay no I think he will he I think it's he will be the quarterback but I mean I think brette might start the the season but even if we talk about brassette brassette can win games everyone knows that so I think it's going to come down to just the team stealing games and I think they can they're the Patriots I think it's just a Patriots thing that that they do they can come down and beat teams like like they go and beat the Jets every year I don't know how they do it whether they're better or worse that has to do with coaching though Bill B's not there anymore yeah and they did lose to the Jets even with the great bill bich I think I think Bill bel's time expired and I think that now they they will have more motivation under a new coach what number do you have in here four and a half what do you have Jackson I have uh let me see real quick because I have it five and a half oh I'm not picking if it's five and a half no I have four and a half okay all right so you guys majority rules there all right four yeah I mean it's low but I mean my God they they stink and how do you know with the rookie head coach I I think I know that's just this is a complete gut call I have no like stats or or like uh reason too much reasoning behind it I think they have quarterbacks who can steal games and I think it's just going to come down to them stealing random games I think'll be like oh this guy's hurt and they play a team I think it's just so low that they can be like if a team's injured or something they can grab a game from a good team then beat up on the bad ones and hopefully sneak five wins in that's kind of my reasoning behind it but what's your thought process when Drake may eventually doesn't start because of how bad they are like why would I thought Drake May was going to start well even let's say Jobe brassette starts the entire season Drake May doesn't touch the field I think jacobe brassette is good enough to where like he played last year and he played good on terrible teams on a terrible team so I think he's good enough to where he can be my guy that sneaks games like he's fine I think Drake May would do it and I think he can do it he has more experience than Drake May in in playing on bad teams too he played on a terrible team last year so I think it will come down this is so low that they can sneak five wins all right so Harrison is in the clubhouse now with his five we'll rehash it and then say goodbye uh when we're done here Jack your last pick what do you got I have a quick fantasy question real quick since my draft's going on who do you think I should take at quarterback Jordan love Jaden M jadden Daniels or Aaron Rogers I love Jayden Daniels here who is what are the choice again Jordan love Brock pie jayen Daniels Aaron Rogers Jordan love Brock pie I'm leaning Jordan love I don't know fantasy wise man that's a I like Jaden Daniels I think he's going to rush for touchdowns yeah but the commanders no but I think they're going to run I think they're going to have some option in the offense I think he's going to his his I would not take Daniels myself you're talking about fantasy wise I would over you're banking on them I'd roll with Rogers myself I think F fantasy is the thing that helped me so much here he goes again all right let's get let's get rid of that uh was love good that was that was my dad again calling me but he's blowing you up Harrison you f it back to him but but uh I'll get back to him after this what were Jack you have his numbers last year um love uh let me see I don't remember if he was a good fantasy player and I know he's good I don't know if he I I tend to go away from passing he had 4,159 yards and 32 touchdowns yeah I a great passing season but I think when it comes to fantasy like like I had Herz one year he was a he was awesome for me he just scored and he ran a lot the guys that run a lot are the guys that you want in fantasy because they get the running points and the passing points so I mean janen I J Dan in our family league Jack too you did oh yeah you did in your what league so we have a family league who's in that uh us three uh me Jack my dad and then like uncles and cousins from my mom's side now that's got to be immense pressure for your father because he's expect never won we've had no so he started doing fantasy the year we started the league so so how many how many years we had it three yeah three he's always been in top five so I won it the first year and then I haven't I haven't done as well since but my buying has been paid for from the first year so I'm okay okay all right there you go yeah I'd be curious to see how your father does with that I used to get tips from him behind just on players not the fantasy aspect of it but that was fun I can't see I can't imagine him being able to stomach losses to you two week no I I've beat him I've beat him a couple actually beat him a nice a nice amount of times last year I beat him by 0.1 oh God that was awesome here's how here's how it happened he always has a really good team though the Ravens defense went to overtime and got scored on and lo and lost points he had won the game and the Ravens defense lost points so he came back and lost to me that's why fantasy is total BS it's so funny though because he was he was I got to make fun of him for a while about that did you tell him did you tell him that you were doing I think I might have mentioned I played golf with him actually last week I think I mentioned it just I didn't say it was right now okay you you want to hear his team you you have it I have it up right now give me give me his top three picks uh Bree Hall uh bik neighbors and jir Gibbs wow all right yeah it's a solid it's a solid Jack what are your top three picks in that League uh my top three picks were let me see bejon Robinson Marvin Harrison Jr and Drake London hey who's like give me give me the consensus number one I I had mcaffrey who are the top bags mcaffrey Hall is be up there yeah maaf Hall no CD lamb I went camb CD lamb went second and uh Bree hall went third I think I have second pick overall here and I'm probably gonna take Bree Hall I would think first should I take Bree hall or um with the second overall look at you yeah I think I like about we're coming we're coming we're seeing our offensive coordinator was the pass game coordinator yeah he catches a lot out of the back field which I mean I won the league with e uh three years ago I got him at the nine good pick that's why Eckler's going to take my commanders over that number all right let's wrap it up here Jack what do you got you two got your last ones then um I have I'm going Colts over eight and a half I think I think uh AR is gonna be back to where he was when he left he's not going to get hurt this season and I think he's gonna I think his season this year will be up there with how Cam Newton was playing when he was at the top of his game I don't think he's going to have the MVP season that Cam Newton had but I think he's gonna his his game reminds me so much of Cam Newton when he was in his prime I just think that he's going to be unstoppable I love their o line Jonathan Taylor proves himself every single year Pitman is is a beast uh Josh DS proved himself last year and I think uh Adon Mitchell can succeed and will be a top 35 receiver in the league this year we'll see and they have a really easy schedule on top of all that K too everything about this team I love to get over eight and a half yeah that was one of my banked picks I like that too really I and here's here's here was one of the reasons he left out that I I had on mind they went and signed Joe flacko so I think I think he can if if if Richardson decides I mean not decides but if Richardson goes down again this year I think that they have another a solid backup obviously we saw what he did with the Browns last year that can carry them above that Mark of eight and a half that's I had them beg too I I am not a Colts fan mainly because of how they treated Matt Ryan I could never get over it I I hate the Colts and and their owner for what they did to m r it really wasn't just them but the way that they handled him it really bothered me but that doesn't mean that they can't be a good team I think that they'll be okay I would not pick their over in this spot all right the last one yep it's gonna be a head-to-head with one of you oh you're going Titans yeah no oh I'm going you didn't take the Jets you're going Chargers well well nobody here I am surprised at that too I was waiting for one of you two to pick the jet because it seems everybody I thought you wanted so I didn't I didn't go near it I was like s's going to take it with the first pick I'm not going to take it I'm just their over under is weird I it's it's so I think they're either going to go nine or 10 so I can't I don't I didn't have a good pick on it everybody including your father everybody loves the Jets over I don't want to root against the Jets I don't know but I cannot get at the end of the day no see see see I just think that they're either going nine or 10 and I can't decide which one because they just they have some tough games so I mean I just don't know well well that's kind of my point is where I don't want to root against them so I'm not going to pick the under but I also can't get in bed with the head coach who I don't believe in oh and by the way it's not same old Jets I do love Rogers but like can the Jets win nine games before we get to 10 and put them in the Super Bowl and all this and the fact that everybody is on them what could go wrong you know how that is when everybody's basically everything it's the Jets everyone has to remember it is the Jets the Jets have been promising in the past every time they're promising something goes wrong it is the Jets end of the day it is the Jets if not were wanting to root for them this year I would have taken the under but I didn't I thought about taking the Giants over but I'm going Chargers I I am taking over over 8 a half for the Chargers oh I love the head coach I mean everyone does I love him too he's great but you you picked against him you went under he got there's not enough I don't think there's enough weapons on that team to to do it he will figure it out I think he can figure it out to eight wins I don't think he can figure it out to nine because then he's got to start beating the Chiefs and stuff like that yeah I think he could get to nine I do think I don't think the Chiefs again this sounds crazy I'm not as high on the Chiefs as everybody else like at some point they're gonna start to come down to earth a little bit Harbaugh's the guy to do it see see see here's they lost one guy but he they kept the keys they kept Chris Jones who is who was the guy they they lost Sneed who was a dog for them but they kept McDuffy they kept the linebackers they kept Carl Aus they just they keep I mean I don't even know how what those guys have left on their contracts but they're still there and then they kept they still have their guys on offense enough like they everyone thought when Tyreek Hill was gone it was over they just they find ways to adapt and they find new guys every year I think Worthy's that guy I think you're gonna see someone new evolve out of the Chiefs and I think that their their defense has now gotten to a point where they're just bring there's guys popping up out of that defense that no one expects to be good and they're just they're becoming lock down players what's the status on Maris Brown Harrison do you know he's doubtful but I don't think they need him I are you a Chiefs fan Harrison yes I'm a very big Chiefs fan are you really yes you're a Chiefs fan you Jack or a Falcons fan wow my entire life how I mean well how old go that far but maybe I think from six years old on probably and what made you become a Chiefs fan uh our first time ever playing fantasy football we had the first pick I picked Jamal Charles and I and I would watch every single down he played and then I just became cheese fan from watching the team so much I'm pretty sure it was the same year he scored like 50 fantasy points in one game so yeah it was him and like M it was when him and lesea McCoy ran rant ball so because of Jamal Charles I love that story and that's how young young obviously both you guys are young here that's how now you know fantasy teams and all that stuff leads to I mean Jack Julio Jones well I also G ask you jack how did you uh I remember so one time I explained this on our last podcast but one time um my dad was just watching a Falcons vers Seahawks game at like the end of the regular season Matt Bryant kicks a game-winning field goal I watch it I'm like that team won Yo that logo's pretty cool and then I just started liking them they had Tony Gonzalez Ry White Michael Turner Julio Jones um uh Matt Ryan like all these guys that I just grew up love when I was a kid so I just fell in love with the team incredible I love that stuff I didn't know I might have heard before Harrison that you were a Chiefs fan but I yeah it's been mentioned a few times I didn't think about that now all right so I'm going Chargers eight and here I'll wrap mine up then each of you guys give yours we'll go me then Jack will'll go in reverse order here just to finishing touches on it what happened I thought yeah that was our fifth yeah that's it that's what I'm saying so I'm just going to wrap it up give everybody what we have here awesome I have the commanders over over 62 Eagles under 10 1/2 Dolphins over 992 Broncos over 5/2 Chargers over eight and a half Jack um I have Falcons over nine and a half Steelers under eight and a half Lions over 10 and a half Cardinals under six and a half Colts over eight and a half Harrison all right I got I got chargers under eight and a half Bears over eight and a half then I got Pats over four and a half Titans over 6 and a half and Bucks over seven and a half to finish it off it's going to pay me to roote against Justin Herbert I love the guy but I I got to take you down on that one no now we get the head-to-head I love it no checker on Checker here we did go head-to-head with that one all right so I was I was pretty strong on commanders under and Titans under but I decided to stay away for both well you stayed well you stayed away so it doesn't count you you should have come head to-head those it makes it fun well well I would have I was going to go Commander but I liked my other picks better like commanders would have been my next pick but like all the ones that I liked you guys you guys did not take a single one that I liked other than hey everyone's I mean I got some stuff on here but everyone's got different ones yeah which is which is funny because I thought for sure there'd be some stealing the on I prepared for not a single one got taken yeah same thing that's pretty cool all right well we'll see we'll do this I appreciate the time guys this is a lot of fun yep we'll do it again Midway through
