| 0:00.0 | Welcome in to the Early Edge NFL Picks show presented by BetMGM, Make It Legendary. |
| 0:08.7 | We have got a great show for you today. |
| 0:11.1 | Kind of a special cast with Claudia and Will out this week. |
| 0:14.7 | They will be back as usual next week. |
| 0:17.3 | But let's bring everyone in. |
| 0:19.3 | We've got RJ White, the NFL Authority. We've got |
| 0:22.2 | Danny Brasco from Brasco Betts. And we've got super contest winner, Brady Cannon. Guys, we have a |
| 0:28.6 | full slate starting on Christmas Day. Let's get right to it. The Cowboys going to Washington, |
| 0:34.2 | a meaningless game, laying six and a half. but as you know, you can bet on these. |
| 0:38.7 | There's no such thing as a meaningless game. |
| 0:41.5 | And right now, looks like we might see Josh Johnson, 39-year-old Josh Johnson for the commanders. |
| 0:47.6 | The Cowboys, you know, three straight losses after it looked like a promising turn and they might |
| 0:52.3 | make the playoffs, I just think they're going to shred |
| 0:54.6 | this commander's defense that's given up 108 points in the last four games. The first meeting was 44-22. |
| 1:01.1 | I could only look at laying the points. RJ, what are you doing with this game? I can only look at taking the points. |
| 1:07.2 | I mean, Dallas just doesn't have a defense that covers big numbers typically. I know they did in that first game, but they certainly did not look like that defense last week. And Josh Johnson, veteran in this league, he can move the ball. He has some weapons on that offense. If it is him at quarterback, we don't know that for sure. Marriott, I believe, was typified as day-to-day by the coach on Monday. So we'll see if it is Johnson, in fact, even if it is him. I'd only make |
| 1:28.6 | this line five, so I'll take the value with the home team. Brady? You know, I don't really know |
| 1:35.4 | what to do with the side. I think you guys both make good cases either way. And it is, I believe, |
| 1:41.5 | pending a bit on the quarterback decision. Obviously, Mariotta, in my opinion, at least, gives the commanders a much better chance to be competitive in this game. |
| 1:49.5 | They really probably, or good chance they would have won outright against the Eagles last weekend, I believe, if Marieta stays in that game. |
| 1:57.4 | Josh Johnson, a fellow USDA alum, not necessarily a classmate of mine, but the same school, |
| 2:03.7 | played for Jim Harbaugh there for the Toreros. And, you know, I think when this guy comes into |
