| 0:00.0 | Welcome back, everybody, jumping into the wildcard slate with our guys. |
| 0:06.0 | Will Brinson decided to join us. |
| 0:07.6 | Thanks, Will, here with Larry Hartstein, R.J. White, in studio. |
| 0:10.7 | It's good to see you. |
| 0:12.6 | Blame technology and blame redacted for any air travel issues, I guess is what I'd take. |
| 0:20.0 | Well, you miss talking about your RAM squad, but we all were in pretty much agreement. They should take care of business this weekend. Let's talk about the Bills and the Jags, a game that's expected to be a lot tighter. Bills laying just a point here on the road, total set at 52. Josh Allen, I said, heading into the break, seven playoff wins without a Super Bowl appearance. |
| 0:37.8 | That's the most in NFL history. |
| 0:39.6 | But you would think, no Joe Burrow, no Patrick Mahomes, |
| 0:43.0 | those roadblocks that have stopped him all these years, |
| 0:45.5 | no Lamar Jackson. |
| 0:47.1 | He should get it done, Will Brinson, right? |
| 0:49.1 | I kind of think the Jaguars and Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence playing the best football of his career along with a bunch of weapons and a pretty good defense. |
| 1:00.8 | Like if you take Josh, Josh Allen's obviously better than Trevor Lawrence in a vacuum. |
| 1:06.4 | But if you take those two guys out of it and agree that Trevor Lawrence is playing at a reasonably |
| 1:12.6 | comparable level to Josh Allen, the Jack Quartz just have the better team right now. |
| 1:17.3 | And they're playing at home. |
| 1:18.2 | Josh Allen's own four straight against spread and road playoff games. |
| 1:22.3 | Duval, Duval County, my family's from Duval County. |
| 1:24.9 | Believe me, I know these people. |
| 1:26.7 | They, at a place is going to be rocking for that game. They will be tailgating very early. And I kind of think the Jaguars are going to find a way to get it done. Let's not forget, you know, there are a lot of quarterbacks, young quarterbacks, in this bracket on both sides that don't have playoff experience. Trevor Lawrence does. And he's got an incredible comeback against the Chargers a few years ago. So give you the Jaguars for 100 Brinson |
| 1:50.2 | bucks or whatever we're betting. We did explain the money at the top, but yeah, basically we're |
| 1:55.1 | telling you if you miss it at the top, how confident we are in these plays. We have $1,000 to |
