Hello there, you're back. Thank you for coming and watching this video of me and better people. It's me, Chris, and I'm with Jim McCormick, and Dave Piper is producing. Hi, Jim.

Yeah, I mean, it takes a special class of people for me to be the better one, so I just appreciate it.

Context is everything. So, yeah.

I disagree. I disagree. It's the great Jim McCormick. We're here to preview the week 11 games that are yet to

arrive in our eyeballs. We are going to talk about what we think, how the games might go. We'll make

some picks against the spread. I want to start out the show by praising a viewer because who was it?

It was Justin Bowman. Way to go, Justin. I don't think you've ever been mentioned on the show before.

We're so happy to have you. And last week, you picked the Texans. That was very smart pick

to take the Texans on the road as a dog against the Bengals. You didn't need the straight up win, but you got it. And if you would like to be shouted out off the top of the show down in the comments, pick what you think is the best point spread bet of the week. And we'll shout out somebody who gets it right. Ever since I challenged Jim, ever since I said, hey, nobody's typing. Like, everybody types. It's great. Like, we get, we get lots of comments, which is what we want. Yeah, I mean, Jaybo, I'm just going to shorten that up for him. Before it was, before it was like, like, uh, dobleau, blue, dublo, blue. Right. We're getting really cool comments and it's really helpful. And like, producer Dave was even mentioning their feedback, which is also very cool. So that helps, you know, especially like pat's in the back. I take them. I just do. We'll take them. If you say nice things, Jim responds. He likes dog treats. So we're brought to by Draft Kings. We'll talk to them. I'll talk about them in just a little bit. As it is, I think we're ready to start talking about the games. We haven't, can't even believe it. We're looking at the sky and saying, what do we do to deserve this? Can Al Michael screw up the experience of Bengals at Ravens? I'm going to say yes.

Old Al has acted old this year. It hasn't been so good. I like Al Michaels and it's not been good.

But we get a legitimately very good. It's payback for all of the not good matchups we've had on Thursday night.

Both of these teams coming off of very disheartening losses at the ends of

games where I'm not going to blame the offenses. The offenses were flawed in those two games last

week, but it really was the defenses that gave up the ghost in the end, especially the Ravens defense,

which now that we know Deshaun Watson's out for the season and, you know, wasn't at full strength

going whatever it was, like 14 for 14 in the second half against the Ravens defense's. we know Deshawn Watson's out for the season and, you know, wasn't at full strength going

whatever it was, like 14 for 14 in the second half against the Ravens defense.

It's not very good.

You watched that game back.

What did you think of the Baltimore defensive performance?

That was tough, especially like Patrick Queen is not good.

So I always say I always mess this up with the front seven and the back seven.
