Welcome to NFL Daily, where we don't believe in jinxying a winning streak.

I'm Greg Rosenthal, and I'm here in the Chris Wesleying podcast studio with my friend, Cynthia

Freeland, who has beaten me like a drum on our NFL network show Game day view. But I mentioned that streak up top because I'm going to wear it. This is the week where I'm just going to say it. Like, I'm on a seven-week winning streak here. Here. In this studio. You're on a heater. Picking against the spread. Look at us. It's a perfect calendar. You're struggling right now on this show. I can get it back. But I went three and oh last week. Um, and that brings my seven week streak. All winning up to 16 and five overall after the, you know, so I'm feeling great. And you would think usually when you get some picks right, you're feeling confident.

It's like the basket looks bigger. You know what I mean? When you're shooting playing basketball? Yeah, I hate the slate. And then I looked at the slate and the games aren't speaking to me in the way that they normally did. In the end, I wrote down five that I like is, but they weren't speaking to me like they normally do. Fair.

And because of that,

I'm going to give you the first picks.

Oh, perfect.

Well,

that's nice of you because,

all right.

So. is, but they weren't speaking to me like they normally do. And because of that, I'm going to give you the first picks. Oh, perfect. Well, that's nice of you because, all right. So I kind of hate this one, but. Don't hate it if you're going first with it. No, I hate the whole week. So I hate it one of the least. How about that? It's the least hate of the hate. So there we go. I think that on Monday

night football, the San Francisco 49ers won by a touchdown. That was one of the ones I like, by more than a touchdown. I think it's right at seven. Yeah. Yeah. I do like that one. I didn't write it down, but that actually was one of the few that was like, they're almost begging you to take the Panthers? They're, they're like pleading with you. Take the Panthers! But no, no, no. It's, uh, I think that's one. The only reason I feel good about number one, the Niners are at home. That always helps, you know, with some, Carolina has baffling stats. Sometimes they're great. Sometimes they're not great. but the thing that I really was interested most in was how Bryce Young was so effective.

Like what were the conditions under which he operated?

And can the Niners get rid of those conditions?

Like, can they stop those conditions?

And the thing that the Niners are very good at, even without Fred Warner,

is stopping runs when opposing offenses use 11 personnel. So Carolina, they've been really

effective rushing out of 11 personnel. So three wide receiver sets. That's where Rico Dattle has

like six yards per carry, like some crazy number. But the Niners, even without Fred

Warner, they're still good at stopping that.
