I know. I know you're right. That's a tough thing to do. It's like, you know, I was kind of saying those same things with like Sean Payton and Jim Harbaugh. Like, wait, are you sure you want to go to the AFC West and deal with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes? Right. But sometimes you just got to take the best situation available and go, OK, this this allows me to be my best.
And now let's see if I can compete and beat the best at my best. And, you know, that's sometimes all it all it boils down to.
Yes, agreed. I mean, Houston, if they're not in the NFC, AFC South, are they even in the playoffs? I mean, I don't know. They haven't played like a playoff football team the last 10 or 11 weeks. I mean, got off to a heart's hot start. And what are they over the last 11 games? I might be off by or so like they're five and six, right? Something like that.
It's nothing special. We've got offensive concerns, right? Everybody wants to blame C.J. Stroud, which is stupid. When I watch C.J. Stroud, he still hits every open throw. He still plays at a high level. There just ain't much there for him to do. They can't protect. They have long developing pass plays down the field, and that doesn't make sense when you can't protect, right?
I mean, that makes no sense. Their running game is iffy. It's average at best. The defense has got some talent. It does, but you worry about it where, okay, they don't do a ton on defense. Two of their greatest assets are their pass rushers, and I think that gets wiped out a little bit in this game because Rashawn Slater and Joe Walsh are damn good tackles.
So they're not going to be like, oh, we got to help with a tight end or a back in these situations. They're going to feel good about those matchups. And because they're a little predictable on defense Houston, yeah, I think Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman will have some plays that'll screw them for, you know, lack of a better way to say it. I took the Chargers to win 24 to 17.
I don't have faith in Houston. Yeah, they've been going the wrong way for a long time here.
Oh, I think it's... The Packers-Eagles game has, I think, the biggest potential to be special. Just because I think the Packers are one of the few teams in football that will never be physically outclassed by a team like the Eagles, the Lions, the Chiefs, the Ravens. They can hang right in there with them, right?
The big question is Jordan Love, his health, the fact that he hasn't played that well.
the fact that they're going into the playoffs after losing to chicago and they were trying to win that game last week and the eagles are going to be a fresh football team you know other than jalen hurts like he hasn't played and he's just about to get out of concussion protocol that's your only concern there but that game has a chance i'm taking the eagles
But I still think there's a lot of heavy hitters on the field. Bothers me in Green Bay, they have no Christian Watson. Romeo Dobbs has been going through some stuff. Jordan Love, of course, not at his best. That worries me a little bit as far as Green Bay is concerned.
I think that... it could be a real possibility. Like my, my workmate, Mike Florio, who you just talked about in PFT, I think he, he, he thinks there's a chance, right? A team that talented, if they go out one and done, right. There could be trouble. He also thinks there's a chance of Baltimore Ravens. Like if they go one and done with this team, car ball could be in trouble.
If it looks bad against, and let's say vice versa, the Baltimore dominates Pittsburgh, he has a thought, and usually Mike, when he has a thought, he's getting inklings from somewhere that he thinks that Tomlin could be in trouble too. So, you know, we got some playoff teams here certainly that could have some drama if things don't go the right way this weekend.
That's what I think where it might come to a head if they disappoint here, right? I don't expect them to. I'm taking them to beat the Steelers. I think the Steelers are going like this and the Ravens are going like this right now. I expect them to control the game. I picked Ravens 35-20. So if it goes as expected, he'll be okay.
But, yeah, I think that what you're saying, the Ravens fans know that, and that's why, you know, every few years you kind of hear like a rumbling of, I don't know, is John Harbaugh still going to be the head coach of the Ravens? And I think it's kind of the things you're alluding to that, you know, rub some people the wrong way in that fan base.
Yeah, I think that People figured out how Russell Wilson led Pittsburgh Steelers want to play football a little bit. The one thing you see with Russell Wilson and watching back even the Ravens game, the last one they played, which was 34-17 Ravens, and it was closer than that. That was a misleading score. But, you know, Wilson's made some mistakes lately.
Wilson's definitely turned down some completions. Middle of the field is still an issue with Russell Wilson. It's an issue. And if there's an advantage to have in this matchup, Fryer moved down the middle against Roquan Smith. There was people open down the middle in the last matchup against the Ravens. He's reluctant to throw the ball into those windows.
I don't know if it's because he's shorter and he can't see or if he's just very protective of the ball, but he's going to have to be a little more aggressive in this one. I think, too, the other thing you start to realize is that when they don't have George Pickens and he's not – focused and he or he's dropping the ball or talking too much, you can see that they're just not the same offense.
There's nobody that scares you. So I think it's a little bit of all of that. And then the defense is good, but it's not great. I think that's probably the big thing I look there. I'm expecting Baltimore to kind of control this game, Mikey, a like jump off to a big lead and then kind of take the foot off the gas pedal. And, you know, Pittsburgh kind of comes back to make it look respectable.
but I don't think they're in the same class as the Baltimore Ravens right now.
