My gut feelings are almost always wrong.

But I have the feeling that Cowboys are going to win this game Sunday against the Eagles. Families need to prepare for Christmas that their children are going to be asking for Bo Nick's jerseys and not Patrick Mahomes. We're on the end. We're on the end. You got your own show. How is you? Oh, yeah. LeBron is LeBak. I'm bilingual on your being a hat. I love it night, and it's Kansas versus Duke, and every Kansas fan has come up to me like, what's it like working with Jeff Saturday? I'm like, it's fine. He's a little bit out there, and that's part of the reason why you like. So good TV people. Hot damn cowboy! Wait a minute. I was about to say stick that in your pipe and smoking. But I got the cig cigar. It's not an overreaction to say Hembo's back in the game. Boom, Hembo. I own you. Go home. Work on another one. Maybe you'll actually beat me this year. You are bored for that look, Green. He's feeling a little dangerous. I love this. Oh, I feel dangerous. Not only do we need to eliminate it from the NFL, we need to eliminate mascots for running for push. Pushy, pushy. Am I overreacting? And the answer is, you're damn right. I'm overreacting. And you know why? Because I am Mike Greenberg. I am a professional overreactor.

1:13.1

To say the least, so much fun.

1:15.6

Those make me feel so good every single week.

1:19.0

Because we just sit here and we try and start your day with a smile on your face.

1:20.6

We certainly have one on ours.

1:24.1

And if we succeed at that, then we have succeeded in every way that matters.

1:24.7

We are Get Up.

1:27.2

We're presented by Oral B. I.O. Electric toothbrush.

1:33.3

Delighted that Dan has joined our football Friday party, and we had ourselves quite a game last night. Houston, hello. Josh Allen and the bills visiting. Early first quarter, no score. Bills on a third down. Dan, looky, looky.

1:39.3

Yeah, James Cook has outstanding vision. This is a beautiful play call. It's a counter. He sets the block, slips inside, and I was like, oh, that's a big play against an elite defense. That might generate some offense tonight. And then this play, Harry, scares you to death when Allen goes down. Yeah, Josh Allen all night long holding the football too long. But whenever you see a player down, his legs moving like that, It makes you nervous because you think he's going to be out for the rest of the game. He would not miss a play, thankfully. So now we go second quarter bills, the second down. And Dan, Will Anderson was relentless last night. He just constantly chased his quarterbacks. You can see the theme of holding on to the football and then nowhere to go with it. You can't do this if you're Josh Allen. The Houston offense is not an elite one. You cannot give them points in your own area. Forces the ball into traffic. Should have taken the check down. Lucky it's not a return for a pick six. It actually is a return for a pick six, but it's brought back because of a blind side block to your point by Derek Barnett.

2:35.9

So it does turn into just a field goal, 13-9. Buffalo had missed the extra point on that first touchdown,

2:40.8

which winds up being significant because they always do. Now, the NFL, Peter, has brought the kickoff back into the sport,

2:47.3

and Ray Davis is going to bring this one back to the house. It's the fourth kickoff return for a touchdown already this season. We're only in the start of week 13. This is an unbelievable play here by Ray Davis, second year man out of Kentucky. Bill's in front 1613, but now final second, second quarter, Harry, how about the route from Jaden Higgins for this touchdown here? Yeah, I love this. That defender thinks he's going to go outside, he sticks it, hits it towards the middle, quarterback puts the ball right on on the touchdown. Texans would lead going into halftime, and then in the second half, Bart, that defense for Houston was just ferocious. I mean, ferocious, you got the time still in the middle. You got nobody to throw it to. Josh Allen's trying to get that magic. Will Adams says, it's not so fast. Kim Osabi, I'm on that. Will Anderson Jr. had two and a half sacks last night and just effort plays like these all night long. Put his name in the defensive player of the year conversation. Bill's forced to punt.

3:41.6

Now, just over four minutes remaining third quarter, Dan.

3:43.6

Khalil Shakir, he's got it and then he does it.

3:45.6

And what is this equal?

3:46.6

A fumble that gives the other team points once again in your own area.

3:50.6

Credit Houston, the defense obviously flies to football.

3:53.6

It's a beautiful punchout, but this is the story of the season for Bunklow's offense. Turnovers. Bill's down seven on a fourth down. This is the play they run, Dan. Why would you, why would you put the ball into your best player's hands? Why would you not do a quarterback sneak with Josh Allen? They try to get Q and that fourth and one, Houston anticipates it, triggers, and all of a sudden Josh Allen's on the sideline.eline. Dave, Dave Cook, the pretty damn good player, though. No doubt. Josh, with the jump had worked earlier, and then Fortinball, the missed extra point looming large, as it always does, that defense ferocious. For those of us who bet under 44 and a half, greedy, we were at the edge of our seats here at the end. This was a very trying time. This should have been the ball game, right? It's fourth and 27, and then Peter, look at the play.

4:33.9

We get the hook and ladder. seats to that. Yeah. This is a very trying time. This should have been the ball game, right? It's

4:31.2

fourth and 27 and then Peter, look at the play. We get the hook and ladder. This is the old Boise State play. Jared Zabranski. We think we suddenly have a game. Shakir takes it all the way to the 25. It's first in 10 with plenty of time left. But that Houston defense, two good. 24 ticks remain on the clock, and the bills have another fourth down. And this time, Dan, Josh Allen, did not have the magic. Yeah, it's a beautiful job. And coverage passing it off, another stem stunk by that defensive line. And it's a pass-off coverage-wise for a pick. It would have been offensive pass interference if something good happened for Buffalo. But this is the way to captainite, just a dominant defensive performance. But Josh
