0:04.6

Let's get to some NFL previews.

0:07.6

We start in the NFC West, which I think is as wide open a division as it gets.

0:12.9

I think we're going to go head to head on some stuff here.

0:15.1

I'm down. Let's talk about it. Start with the Niners. Ten and a half is your win total over under.

0:19.3

Plus 160 to win the division.

0:22.2

I am buying them as the worst to first team in the NFL. They're the popular pick. I don't want

0:27.0

extra credit for it. But I think they're the zombie Niners. I think they're back from the dead

0:32.9

for one last go. This is before Purdy's cap hit balloons. And I think a last play schedule gives them

0:39.3

one last run. They play only four playoff teams from a year ago. They led the NFL and

0:45.0

explosive plays last season while they only won six games. I think the offense will be just fine.

0:50.5

You get a healthier CMC. I do think Pearsall, no longer recovering from a gunshot wound, is going to help them. And I'm a big George Kittle guy. I think they'll absorb the loss of Debo and still have a potent offense. And on defense, I liked their first round pick, Michael Williams, to pair with Nick Bosa. They still have Fred Warner. They play the NFC South and the AFC South. I'll take the Niners. That's nice. I'm out on them, all out on them. So yeah, we're going to go head to head. I mean, for one, Christian McCaffrey just has one full season in the last five years, constantly hurt. Father time's not on his side. Can't be worse than last year, ma'am. No, but it doesn't have to be much better. Wide receivers, we've gone down the list. You're right. Your high point is no one got shot this offseason. I mean, Jennings, who knows when he's coming back, plus you got the trade demand. Nobody else is healthy. I don't love the offensive line. I like that they retooled. I'm not telling you they'll be bad, but I've got a value play to win this division, and it's just not San Francisco. And I want nothing to do with 10.5. Nothing. What's the better? If I'm a Niners guy, better play, win the division plus 160 or betting them to win 11 plus games?

2:02.3

Win the division? Yeah, I think so too. I would never argue that. Plus 160, they go 10 and 7. Do I think that gets a ton in this division? It might. It could. But the Niners aren't for me.

2:12.5

Last note on them. Robert Sala back. I think there's something there. He was there previously, had a lot of

2:18.8

success running that defense. I put that as another feather in their cap. But I would say this is

2:23.8

how much of that was personnel versus where we're at. Still have Warner, still have Bosa.

2:31.4

Yeah, that's fine. Look, it's not a bad pick.

2:34.9

It's not a terrible pick.

2:37.1

I just have something a little more delicious.

2:40.2

And albeit, they are the trendy worst of first team.

2:42.2

We'll move on.

2:43.5

Feels too easy to me.
