00:00The game between the Packers and the Broncos was really fun.

00:03Really, really good football game.

00:06Where were you?

00:07Were you involved in this one yesterday?

00:09I was prop-wise, but I was on the Broncos.

00:11I like the Broncos.

00:12I brought it up in the pregame.

00:14They were 6-0 at home this year prior to the game.

00:17And the margin of victory on their 10-game winning streak prior to the game

00:21against Green Bay was only 6.9 points per game.

00:24At home, though, it was significantly higher, 10 points per game.

00:27So they were a better home team than they were on the road.

00:30And, again, I just think that people were selling Bo Nix and this team short

00:33because it's Jordan Love, it's Matt LaFleur, this team is complete.

00:38And I just didn't see it that way.

00:40I still have concerns with Green Bay, big picture.

00:43Now, Jaden Rean got back involved in the offense again back-to-back weeks.

00:47Will that help?

00:48It's possible.

00:49But, again, it's just they're hot and cold.

00:52One week up, one week down, I feel like.

00:54You never get the consistency.

00:56But Sean Payton has an identity with this team.

00:59He has playmakers that he trusts.

01:01And love them or hate them, Bo Nix wins.

01:03I mean, you could say it's not flashy, you know,

01:06but he finds ways to pull it out.

01:09I think he's getting better.

01:10I think Sean Payton, again, I think Sean Payton should be getting more

01:15consideration for Coach of the Year, in my opinion.

01:18I think Mike Vrabel, honestly, I actually don't think Vrabel has much of any case

01:21anymore after yesterday.

01:23We'll get into that game a little bit more.

01:25Smashed.

01:25But, no, no, no.

01:27You know what's funny?

01:27I knew you.

01:28We'll get to it.

01:29We'll get to it.

01:30But I look at Denver, and since Sean Payton has come back.

01:34Right.

01:34He is perfect.

01:36Off a bye or mini-bye.

01:38Right.

01:39They're minus 260 to be the one seed.

01:40If they're the one seed, that means they have to win a home game off a bye

01:45to be one home win away from being in the Super Bowl.

01:49They're the rightful favorites right now to win the AFC, Denver.

01:52I really do believe that.

01:52Yeah, it's deserving.

01:53I mean, they stepped up.

01:55They made plays.

01:56Yeah.

01:56Their defense doesn't get enough credit.

01:58I mean, Sertan in that secondary forced Jordan Love to methodically work down the field.

02:04It was an ugly game early on.

02:05But in the second half, it was all Bo Nix.

02:08I mean, it throws four touchdowns.

02:10Cortland Sutton back over 100 yards.

02:13Troy Franklin always seems to hit the end zone.

02:15R.J. Harvey now catching and running the football after Dobbins goes down.

02:20I mean, they have multiple weapons.

02:21Evan Ingram every now and then.

02:23Stop.

02:24We're kidding with this, Ingram.

02:25No, but so here's the thing on Green Bay.

02:28You're done with them?

02:29So they lose Michael Parsons.

02:31And before this season, I was low man on Green Bay.

02:36I didn't have my postseason picture.

02:39And when they got Parsons is such a talent that so Miles Garrett is going to break the

02:44sack record.

02:45And on Friday, I was here in the office telling people I think Michael could still win defensive

02:49player of the year.

02:50I was probably wrong about that.

02:51That's how good I think he is.

02:53That's how good of a season I truly believe he was having.

02:57To lose Parsons now, I'm not that scared of the defense.

03:02And Parsons is, he said this when he got there.

03:06He's like, every single where I go, like, my corners get paid because they don't have

03:10to cover as long.

03:11Now you can't put in much attention.

03:12Everyone else now on that defense is worse.

03:16And chunk, you know, it wasn't a lot of plays, but they were hitting chunk plays for Denver

03:20when Parsons was out of that game.

03:23And now, instead of Ken Jordan Love get on a heater, he has to be great in order for the

03:30Packers to make a run.

03:31Yeah.

03:31I don't want to bet on that.

03:32No, I don't want to bet on that.

03:33I don't want to bet on it either.

03:35And I've been a big proponent of Green Bay.

03:37I have no problem betting them week to week, potentially.

03:41I have a problem betting them big picture.

03:43Sure.

03:44Because, again, to me, and I said this, you know, in the pregame on Sunday, is that I

03:49still, at this part in the season, still believe that Philly will get it right.

03:55You know, and to me, and I do, I do believe they'll get it right.

03:59Now they're going to have to compete with the Rams, right?

04:02All right.

04:02So if you put the Rams as the one seed, okay?

04:06Yeah.

04:06Do you believe Green Bay matches up well with them?

04:10I do believe Philly does.

04:12Listen, I thought, I can't stress this enough, I'm sure some will find it an

04:18overreaction.

04:20So, and here, this is, I was considering a Packers Super Bowl future for a few

04:27weeks, okay?

04:28I know you were.

04:29I am now considering betting them to miss the playoffs.

04:33That is how much of a loss I think Parsons is.

04:38Now, of course, it is impacted by the schedule.

04:41But very simply, if Green Bay loses to the Chicago Bears, all of a sudden, they

04:51will be fighting for their lives.

04:52Yeah.

04:53And that is a short Week 16, two-and-a-half, three-point spread.
