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.
