This is an I-Heart podcast.

0:02.6

Guaranteed human.

0:13.0

Welcome to NFL Daily, where it's always raining.

0:17.7

I'm Greg Rosenthal here in Studio 5, stage 5, I don't know what you call it, at NFL Network.

0:24.3

And so lucky today to be joined by Cynthia Freeland for our weekly man versus machine, man versus model.

0:32.7

The Rainmaker rains show of the week. I like all of it.

0:39.3

Let's review, Cynthia.

0:45.7

Last week, if you were listening, we were both very effective. Two and one, each of us, okay?

0:51.0

I got the bucks and the Steelers right, barely lost on the bills by like half a point.

1:12.6

You got the Saints and your Lions right, and you lost on Jets. And so what we do every week on this show, we pick our three favorite picks of the week. Why don't we start with you this week to feel a little luckier? I have a question. Yes. This is a really important one. Yes. Are we allowed to do this for totals? Because I think there's one mispriced. Okay. You can do anything you want, Cynthia. The point is, I'm rooting for you. I want us both to have good records.

1:15.6

I want to just have a better record than you over. Well, right now we're tied. Yes, we're tied two and one. That's good start. Yeah, you can do totals. Okay, so I'm looking at this Pittsburgh game,

1:25.0

and I understand it doesn't seem like there's going to be a lot of points scored,

1:28.2

but any way you slice it for seem like there's going to be a lot of points

1:27.7

scored, but any way you slice it for me, it's going to be more than 36 and a half. In fact,

1:33.3

in the model, in the machine, if you will, the number is more than 37 points. In like something like

1:40.7

56% of simulations, I'm a conservative modeler.

1:44.6

That is a high number for me.

1:46.1

So I know it doesn't seem like a situation where you're going to be like, hey, Broncos,

1:51.4

Steelers, Point Fest, but you don't need it to be that much in order to hit that number.

1:55.9

Yes.

1:56.5

I actually picked 18 to 12 in that game.

1:59.6

And in my head, that was all field goals, Six for the Steelers and four for the Broncos. There could easily be a defensive touchdown. You could throw that in. But that makes sense. And why would you root against fun? I'm not rooting against it. That's just what I see. I'm on the Steelers this year. I had them as an under. That is not picks. But I do think, I do think they're going to win. Lots of points. It is not. Lots of points. 36 and a half. Your first pick over 36 and a half in Steelers Falcons, I like that. I'm going to go Titans plus four to start. If I'm going to pick them straight up, which I am doing, we did that on our show on
