Appreciate you find us again. 15 00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:58,280 Jason down here in Tampa, we are here talking all 16 00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:01,640 things State of Florida college football, and talk a little 17 00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:04,239 NFL as well. We'll talk a little Bucks, Jags Dolphins 18 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,439 at the end of the podcast as well. But let's 19 00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:11,760 get right to it. The Miami Hurricanes have done it 20 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,439 yet again. The ball was in their court, everything was 21 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,959 right in front of them. They had a manageable schedule, 22 00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:27,680 very winnable games. But yet once again, Mario Cristal Ball 23 00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:31,879 and the Miami Hurricanes have faltered again in November. They 24 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,879 fall twenty six twenty in Dallas against SMU, a terrible 25 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,840 penalty at the end of the game, a late hit 26 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,359 which leads to the SMU tying fuel goal to get 27 00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:48,719 the game into overtime, and in overtime, the SMU runs 28 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:53,560 the ball down Miami's throat punches it in after Miami 29 00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:57,719 throws an interception in overtime. So once again, the Canes 30 00:01:57,719 --> 00:02:01,879 have now lost two acc games. They have taken a 31 00:02:02,079 --> 00:02:07,280 major hit to their college football playoff hopes. Mario Cristobal 32 00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:10,080 has a losing record in the month of November as 33 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,919 the head coach at Miami. Hard to believe. This is 34 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,120 just a devastating loss for this Miami program. When again 35 00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:20,199 the tremendous wins at the beginning of the year, beating Florida, 36 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,599 beating Notre Dame. We thought that Notre Dame game would 37 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,800 have some weight in the college football playoff rankings. It 38 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,319 does not. They are ranked eighteenth in the playoff rankings. 39 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,000 Notre Dame is the ten seed as of the first 40 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,840 rankings release, which was on Tuesday night. So many people 41 00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:43,000 thought that committee and many people thought me included that 42 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,919 that Miami win over Notre Dame, being that they both 43 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,719 have two losses, would weigh a little more prominent than 44 00:02:49,759 --> 00:02:52,199 it did. But it did not. The Committee is obviously 45 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,639 telling the country that they do not think Miami is 46 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,719 head to head as good as Notre Dame, and it's hard, 47 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,759 it's hard to argue at this point to tear again, 48 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,479 the Louisville loss at home was not terrible on that 49 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,599 Friday night, but you cannot lose this game in Dallas 50 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,080 if you're if you're the Canes. Mario Carson Beck throws 51 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,199 a couple more picks. Again, Uh, just just just a 52 00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:21,759 kind of game. Too many penalties, in opportune penalties and again, uh, 53 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,680 just not buttoned up if you're if you're Miami. So 54 00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:27,560 a tough road to hoe here for the Canes. I 55 00:03:27,599 --> 00:03:31,360 think the Canes. I think I saw a analytics breakdown 56 00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:34,719 somewhere around a five percent chance to make the ACC 57 00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:38,360 title game. The ACC had a terrible week last week, 58 00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:44,159 with Georgia Tech losing, obviously Miami losing. It's probably going 59 00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:47,599 to be a one bid league unless some more chaos 60 00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:50,319 ensoes here in the month of November. So just a 61 00:03:50,439 --> 00:03:53,680 terrible Saturday for if you're a Miami Hurricane fan, as 62 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:57,159 they now fall to six and two on the year, 63 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,120 and again at home against Syracuse. They're gonna be a 64 00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:05,840 huge favorite at home, but again probably doesn't matter. They're 65 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,759 gonna need a lot of help here if you're Miami. 66 00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:10,479 One to even have an opportunity for an ac ACC 67 00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:15,120 title game appearance, and two, even more importantly, a college 68 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,800 football playoff, berth is in serious, serious jeopardy. So tough, 69 00:04:19,879 --> 00:04:24,160 tough loss there for the Miami Hurricanes. All right, let's 70 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,160 go up to the cocktail party up in Jacksonville, Florida. 71 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:34,720 Florida Georgia, the renewing of the rivalry in Jacksonville on Saturday. 72 00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:38,399 In a pretty competitive game, Florida falls to Georgia twenty 73 00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:41,600 four to twenty. Florida falls to three and five member. 74 00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:46,519 Billy Gonzales, the interim coach, give Florida credit. They played well. 75 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,480 They were up early in this game. The game was very, 76 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,439 very competitive if you are a point spread player, depending 77 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,839 on which side you had. If you had Florida plus 78 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,000 the seven and a half, you loved it. And if 79 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,360 you had Georgia mine seven seven and a half, you 80 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,680 hated it. When Gunner Stockton basically slides down at the 81 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,560 one yard line in the in the waning moments, would 82 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,120 have it would have been a walk in touchdown the 83 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,360 right football play. So give Stockton and in that coaching 84 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,360 staff credit for coaching them up correctly. That's the right 85 00:05:17,399 --> 00:05:19,800 football play to do is to is to slide short 86 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,639 of the end zone to guarantee there's no chance Florida 87 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,319 gets the ball back. But if you were playing the 88 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,720 game against the number depending how if you had Florida 89 00:05:28,759 --> 00:05:31,399 like I like I did, it was a good slide. 90 00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:34,480 I loved it. If you had Georgia, Uh, that was 91 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,839 it was a freight a slide he didn't want to see. 92 00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:42,959 So Florida, Florida falls twenty four to twenty Eugene Wilson 93 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,560 nine catches one twenty one in a touchdown. Uh. Again, 94 00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:49,120 back to what Georgia has been all year. They've kind 95 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,639 of had been slow starters, have fallen behind, but once 96 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,560 again the resiliency and the fight of Georgia continues to 97 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:02,000 show itself. Uh. Georgia is uh soundly in the college 98 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,199 football playoff hunt. The Gators fall to three and five. 99 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,160 They will head to Kentucky this weekend to face the 100 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,160 Kentucky Wildcats, who went to Auburn last week and beat 101 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,480 Hugh Freeze in his last game at Auburn as he 102 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,480 was fired on Sunday. They went ten to three. But 103 00:06:17,519 --> 00:06:19,480 again give give give the Gators a little bit of 104 00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:22,800 credit here the spirit, they were competitive again, They've got 105 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:28,480 players have not heard much this. This coaching carousel is 106 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,199 going to be a fascinating dominoes here as we moved 107 00:06:32,199 --> 00:06:34,759 through the month of November and December of where these 108 00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:38,480 where these programs go again. You got LSU available, you 109 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,199 have Auburn, you have Florida, you have Penn State again. 110 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,079 You're gonna have some a couple more jobs, I am 111 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,959 sure here in the next three four weeks. So be 112 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,800 fascinating how these athletic directors, in these in these boosters 113 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:59,240 and these university presidents manage this coaching search here that's 114 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,040 coming up again. Obviously Lane Kiffin. Lane Kiffin's name is 115 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,160 the name that all the Gator fans I am sure 116 00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:07,120 would be at the number one on the list. You're 117 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,839 gonna hear names like Jeff Brom, Eli Drinkwitz. I think 118 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,720 Jeff Brom would be a terrific second or third option. Again, 119 00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:18,519 we will see here if John Gruden's name gets mentioned 120 00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:21,560 in the Florida search, if there's any momentum there on 121 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,600 that front here in the next couple of weeks. So 122 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,759 for me, those are the four names that you're gonna 123 00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:31,560 hear potentially for that job. I don't think they're they're 124 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,560 going defense. I think they're going offense. I think they're 125 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,279 going established head coach. And I think with Brom, drink 126 00:07:38,279 --> 00:07:41,160 Wits and potentially Gruden, those three names are names that 127 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,439 you could you definitely could sell to you to your 128 00:07:44,439 --> 00:07:48,399 fan base and as well as from a player recruitment perspective, 129 00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:53,560 have the opportunity to continue recruiting. So again, Florida falls 130 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,600 to three and five, twenty four to twenty losers in 131 00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:59,920 Jacksonville to the Georgia Bulldogs. Let's go down to central floor. 132 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,720 Florida u CF and Orlando u CF falls in Waco 133 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:07,480 thirty to three to Baylor. They fall to four and 134 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:12,639 four on the year, one and four in the one 135 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:17,040 and four in the Big twelve. Again, like we've said 136 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,959 all year long, this is going to be a rebuilt. 137 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,759 This is a rebuilding year here in Orlando with Scott 138 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,399 Frost continue to you know, they've got to get this 139 00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:28,920 roster up to date. You got to get the funding 140 00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:31,360 and stuff back where it needs to be to be 141 00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:34,080 competitive in the Big Twelve. Not much to say here. 142 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,200 They will host Houston on Friday in Orlando at the 143 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,879 Bounce House. So the UCF Knights fall to four and 144 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000 four on the campaign at the bottom of the Big 145 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:51,080 Twelve standings there all right, Before we get to the 146 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,240 final half of our recaps, let's have a word from 147 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,200 Titan Home Lending.

Thamas Castellanos twelve sixteen to two 185 00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:11,559 seventy one in a touchdown. He obviously came back from 186 00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:15,399 the tough hit he took up in Stanford a couple 187 00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:19,080 of weeks back over on the West Coast. Deuce Robinson 188 00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:23,039 five catches, one and a touchdown again. You know, a 189 00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:25,799 game they had to have again. You got to break 190 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,879 the losing streak again. You're you're probably you're better than 191 00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:31,320 wake Forest. It's a it's a good job of emphatically 192 00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:34,320 beating wake Forest. The Knoles are kind of just playing 193 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,080 out the string here. But if you're Mike Norvel, you 194 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,240 got to keep this team playing well here to finish 195 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,840 the year. You're going to Clemson this week again, both 196 00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:46,200 these teams are coming in with losing records. One of 197 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,960 these two teams probably won't make a bowl game. Both 198 00:11:49,039 --> 00:11:53,519 teams may not make a bowl game. How the wins 199 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,759 have changed again? Seven eight weeks ago, ten weeks ago, 200 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,559 we were thinking this game was going to be for 201 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,399 a potential two berths in the college football Playoff. We 202 00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:05,679 would we were both many people thought Florida State after 203 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,200 the Alabama win and with preseason rankings with Clemson were 204 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,080 that this game was going to be for how to 205 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,799 would have a lot of uh uh, first of all 206 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,679 acc title ramifications and more as importantly playoff college football 207 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,399 playoff implications. And boy, these two programs have just continued 208 00:12:24,399 --> 00:12:28,159 to slide. Clemson loses last week forty six forty five 209 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,039 to Duke Dabbo. Feeling a ton of heat up in Clemson, 210 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,600 And obviously we know Florida State is coming off of 211 00:12:35,639 --> 00:12:38,360 a four game losing streak uh and and and a 212 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,639 lot of a lot of swirling around about Mike Norvell's 213 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,159 future still know Obviously Michael Alferd, the a D gave 214 00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:48,399 the comment a couple of weeks back that there was 215 00:12:48,399 --> 00:12:50,120 gonna be a full assessment at the end of the year. 216 00:12:51,159 --> 00:12:53,639 About the program. So we will again, we don't, we don't. 217 00:12:53,639 --> 00:12:56,799 We've not heard anything anything further out of the administration 218 00:12:56,879 --> 00:12:59,840 in Tallahassee. This one's going to be a close call 219 00:12:59,879 --> 00:13:03,200 here about Norvell's future. You know, you can make the 220 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,080 argument to keep them and you can also make the 221 00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:08,679 argument to get rid of him and move on in 222 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,960 a different direction. Obviously, finances will be a major component here. 223 00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:14,840 I think the number somewhere between forty and fifty million 224 00:13:14,879 --> 00:13:18,600 dollars as far as a buyout goes. And again, Florida 225 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,600 State is not the most flush program in America with finances. 226 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,919 But we will see how this these last four weeks unfold, 227 00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:29,279 These last month could have a big bearing on where 228 00:13:29,279 --> 00:13:34,639 things go in the month of December and Tallahassee. All right, FIU, 229 00:13:34,879 --> 00:13:38,759 They lose to Missouri State in a midweek game last week. 230 00:13:38,799 --> 00:13:42,559 They lose twenty eight twenty one to Missouri State. They 231 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,480 fall to three and five with the Panthers. They will 232 00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:49,600 head to Middle Tennessee this Saturday. Again they've been They've 233 00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:52,720 been on that midweek circuit playing those midweek games the 234 00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:54,879 last couple of weeks. Now they have basically a mini 235 00:13:54,879 --> 00:14:01,879 buy heading to Middle Tennessee on Saturday. Keyon Jenkins continues 236 00:14:01,919 --> 00:14:06,519 to lead this FIU Panther team on offense, but again 237 00:14:06,639 --> 00:14:09,679 fall twenty eight to twenty one to Missouri State again 238 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:15,120 to go to three and five in Conference USA F AU. 239 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,240 They fall to three and they're coming off of a 240 00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:19,840 bye week. Excuse me, they're three and five. They are 241 00:14:19,879 --> 00:14:22,840 their last game. They lost Nate to Navy competitively forty 242 00:14:22,879 --> 00:14:25,559 two thirty two. Coming off of bye, They're gonna be 243 00:14:25,639 --> 00:14:31,279 home to Tulsa on Saturday in Boca ratone. The uh, 244 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,559 the Owls will will face the Tulsa Hurricanes in Boca 245 00:14:37,639 --> 00:14:41,320 on Saturday. USF coming off of a bye They're they're 246 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,440 gonna be hosting on Thursday night. They are gonna be 247 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,200 hosting UTSA. ESPN will be here for the game. So 248 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,360 that will give Alex golshan company a little more uh 249 00:14:53,279 --> 00:14:57,799 some national exposure uh for USF again coming off the 250 00:14:57,799 --> 00:15:01,480 the Memphis loss the and I think that's gonna be 251 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,679 the situation where Alex Golish did not kick the field 252 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,120 goal in the fourth quarter. I think he's gonna rue 253 00:15:08,159 --> 00:15:11,519 the day potentially that he didn't do that. Memphis continues 254 00:15:11,559 --> 00:15:13,559 to win. Memphis is in the playoff in the first 255 00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:18,360 playoff ranking, they are the group of five representative. Again, 256 00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:21,600 lots of chaos still going on in the American with 257 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,440 Tulane losing, Navy losing. So you got a bunch of 258 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,600 teams with one loss in Memphis with no losses. Huge 259 00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:31,720 game coming up from Memphis against Navy here in a 260 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,120 couple of weeks. But again, I think Alex, if this 261 00:15:36,159 --> 00:15:38,799 season does not end in a playoff run, I think 262 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,320 Alex Golish is gonna you still gonna. You still got 263 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,320 an opportunity to get to the American Championship game. I 264 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,600 think that's what you got to reach. Obviously, you could 265 00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:49,080 have a second opportunity at Memphis in the title game. 266 00:15:49,559 --> 00:15:53,080 But if they if USF season does not finish like 267 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,000 they do, he will rue the day he didn't kick 268 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,320 the field goal up seven points early fourth quarter in 269 00:15:58,399 --> 00:16:00,679 Memphis a couple of weeks back. So but again, you 270 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,879 gotta take care of business against ut s A. U 271 00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:06,559 t s A is who knocked off Tulane last week. 272 00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:08,440 So again you cannot play with your food here. You 273 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,759 gotta take care of business at home. You canna have 274 00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:14,919 a national TV audience on Thursday night with ESPN in town. 275 00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:18,639 You'll have ESPN on campus doing some Sports Center stuff 276 00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:21,679 on Thursday as well. So again, if you're USF, you 277 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,879 gotta continue to take care of business, and you have to. 278 00:16:24,039 --> 00:16:25,759 You have to get You're gonna have to go to 279 00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:27,960 Navy next week, which is gonna be the probably the 280 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,679 game that determines if you get to the uh. These 281 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,639 next two weeks are gonna determine if you get to 282 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,679 the American Title Game. So you gotta take care of 283 00:16:35,679 --> 00:16:38,879 business this week to make next week's game what it 284 00:16:38,879 --> 00:16:41,360 what what you want it to be if you're USF 285 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,320 up there in Annapolis. So there's your recaps of your 286 00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:48,399 of your height, of your Florida again, your Florida teams again. 287 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,559 Miami eighteenth in the college football rankings, which is not 288 00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:55,200 a great great sign for the Hurricanes. They're gonna need 289 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,279 a lot of help to make a move. They don't 290 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,200 have much on their schedule left to be able to 291 00:16:59,679 --> 00:17:02,279 improve their stock. They do have a late game at 292 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,839 Pittsburgh in late November, which could potentially help them a 293 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,359 little bit, but before that it's gonna be a lot 294 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:13,720 of Syracuses and some bad teams. So again it's a 295 00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:17,799 terrible loss for Mario. They did. He continues to struggle 296 00:17:17,799 --> 00:17:19,960 with those in his tenure as a head coach, both 297 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,559 in Oregon and now at Miami. Two years in a 298 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,119 row here at Miami, where Mario and the Canes have 299 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,480 just not been able to take care of business against 300 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,480 teams that they're clearly better than. So a little NFL 301 00:17:32,599 --> 00:17:35,440 quick NFL update. The Bucks, coming off of a bye, 302 00:17:35,599 --> 00:17:37,720 will face the New England Patriots, who are on fire 303 00:17:38,079 --> 00:17:41,119 here in Raymond James Stadium on Sunday. That's probably gonna 304 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,319 be a Romo and Nance game on CBS. Again. This 305 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,319 would be a great a great measuring stick for both 306 00:17:47,319 --> 00:17:50,240 these teams. Again, the Bucks trying to get healthy. Luke 307 00:17:50,279 --> 00:17:54,519 Gettikey was not activated off of IR, but his window 308 00:17:54,599 --> 00:17:57,400 to potentially come off of IR is open. We will 309 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,079 see if he becomes available later in the week. Bucky Irving, 310 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,839 Chris Godwin, we don't know yet what their statuses are. 311 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,920 But if you're the Buccaneers, this is a young and 312 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,720 up and coming team in New England. Drake May is 313 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,799 playing really well. Rabel and Company coming to town. This 314 00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:15,640 is a team you should You should beat this team 315 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,640 at home in your building. I know that Patriots are good, 316 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,039 but this is a game you should win. Baker will 317 00:18:21,079 --> 00:18:23,680 be much more healthy than he was two weeks ago 318 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,759 coming out of the New Orleans game. You'll get a 319 00:18:25,759 --> 00:18:29,279 couple more guys back, potentially get get a keyback, potentially 320 00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:31,759 get Bucky Irving back. But again, this is still a 321 00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:33,759 game you can win. You should be able to take 322 00:18:33,759 --> 00:18:36,480 care of business at home. I love the Bucks here 323 00:18:36,559 --> 00:18:39,960 minus two and a half and go from there. So 324 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:46,079 big big interconference game here in Raymond James On Sunday 325 00:18:46,079 --> 00:18:49,119 at one o'clock. Jaguars with a dramatic thirty to twenty 326 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,440 nine overtime win in Las Vegas over the weekend. Again, 327 00:18:52,759 --> 00:18:55,480 the Jags slow start by both teams in the second 328 00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:59,279 half was a wild second half. Trevor Lawrence two rushing touchdowns, 329 00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:03,200 Brock Hours three touchdowns for the Raiders. Jaguars take the 330 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,079 ball down the field in overtime and score. The Raiders 331 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,359 take the ball down in overtime and score, and the 332 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,160 Raiders decided to go for two passes blocked batted down 333 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,880 at the line of scrimmage on the two point play 334 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,440 by the Jacksonville defensive line to get the win. Huge 335 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,759 win for Liam Cohene to move to five and three. 336 00:19:20,079 --> 00:19:24,640 They will now go to Houston again, a big divisional game. 337 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,599 You can pretty much put Houston out of their misery 338 00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:28,720 if you can win this game. We don't know the 339 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,079 status of CJ. Stroud, who was knocked out with a 340 00:19:31,079 --> 00:19:35,000 concussion last week against Denver. We will see where he 341 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,720 is at. But again, big big game for the Jaguars. 342 00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:40,279 Jaguars made a move at the trade deadline. They got 343 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,519 Jacoby Myers from the Raiders, who they just played over 344 00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:46,599 the weekend for a mid round pick down the road. 345 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,799 So again big opportunity here for the Jaguars, who right 346 00:19:50,839 --> 00:19:53,319 now are in the playoffs as the seventh seed in 347 00:19:53,319 --> 00:19:57,720 the AFC at five and three. Dolphins lose last Thursday 348 00:19:57,799 --> 00:20:00,599 night at home, not a very good formance to the 349 00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:05,039 Baltimore Ravens. They lose twenty eight to six. Chris Grear, 350 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,640 the GM, was immediately fired after the game. He was fired, 351 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:13,319 I believe. On Friday, they traded Jalen Phillips, the defensive lineman, 352 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:17,920 to the Philadelphia Eagles. Surprise, they didn't trade potentially Jalen 353 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,680 Wattell or Bradley Chubb, but they did not. They did 354 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:26,279 not find an appropriate shuitor there and compensation wise, so 355 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,640 the Dolphins moved to two and seven. They again they 356 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,160 will host the Buffalo Bills, who came off the big 357 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,839 win over the Kansas City Chiefs over the weekend, and 358 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,519 again just gonna play out the string here in Miami. 359 00:20:42,039 --> 00:20:45,240 Little to no chance Mike McDaniel returns, but Chris Greer 360 00:20:45,279 --> 00:20:48,319 has been fired, has been let go, and the Dolphins 361 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,400 fall yet again in Miami host the Buffalo Division rival, 362 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:57,480 host the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, which will be a 363 00:20:57,599 --> 00:21:02,000 heavy Buffalo Bills crowd in my opinion.
