What impressive performance did Caleb Williams showcase?
Brian Hayes, your dog Jeff O'Neill, Jamie Noodles, Nick Lennon, and Luke Wilson in studio. Feeling very good about himself.
Congratulations.
We were staying humble. 3-0 on your picks. We jammed you. We tried our best to jam you. Seeing the board very clearly early in the playoffs, much like you were early in the season, which actually makes us feel very comfortable. We have you right where we want you. I just have a couple things.
Noodles and I spoke earlier today. this playoff run is all about staying humble. As you know in the group chat, after every win, we just consistently say, let's just stay humble. Let's stay humble. We get a win, let's stay humble. All right, well, good for you. I will say, I do have a couple gripes. You can hear them out. As we all know, and you guys have agreed to this, the regular season doesn't mean a thing without the ring. We get it.
Let's get some new material.
But I also am a little upset. I'd like to know what's going on with Doogie. Because all year, when we were getting smoked and we were going to be the two seed in the playoffs, Doogie, literally, games weren't even over yet. This guy's tweeting score updates.
What were the key moments in the Eagles' disappointing loss?
Right. And it's very quiet. Tweeting score updates with two minutes to go. Very quiet. So all of a sudden, we're staying humble. We're staying humble. We have one good Sunday. And Doogie, I don't think there's an update yet.
No, he's on a cruise with Al's brother.
Yeah, dude, he's literally not here. Speaking of Al's brother, another gripe I have, and this is the big one. This guy all year in the group chat has been the meltiest. I'm going to call him a turd. He's been an absolute turd.
Disrespectful. Yes, he has. He has. I can't argue against that. It's been bad. He's been very quiet. But all of a sudden this weekend, when his team needs him, he's not even in the country. He's not in the group chat. We're not happy with Al's brother. I mean, this guy, it's like he got his contract after a great regular season, and now he's completely checked out. So there's a lot of pressure on him.
How does Justin Herbert's playoff resume stack up?
We have the pick tonight. A must-win? Do you think it's a must-win? No, I don't think so. If you're down 5-1, there's still a lot of games left to play. Boys, Ryder, Cubs solid. Noodles. Ryder Cup style. It's a tough day one of the Ryder Cup. That's precisely what it is. But the Super Bowl, there's so many points on the line. Big swing. That's singles, right? We love singles. Oh, we'll be fine by the Super Bowl. And a lot of games left to be played. But we need one tonight. Houston Pitt. And, oh, you called the game last hour. You said this is a lock for us. We're going to jump on it. You want to make that announcement again? We're happy to flush it out.
We're all over the Texans. We're going to lay the points.
What insights does Luke Willson provide on the Steelers vs. Texans matchup?
You're not cheery.
You're not cheery. We're all not happy about that. I know that's the pick. I did. I did. I asked you guys. You're fine.
We're on Houston tonight. Mike Tomlin, Aaron Rodgers in the playoff on a Monday night.
You're going against Aaron Rodgers. That's the thing.
He's 42 years old. He hasn't won anything in a big game in a long time. He just won the AFC North. No, he backed door into the AFC North. By default. They won 10 games this year. He didn't even play in half of them.
Let me just ask you this, Parks. Let me ask you this, and I'm still calling you. You'll always be my Parks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're telling me you wouldn't take the Texans tonight. No.
What strategies can teams employ to maintain composure during playoffs?
No.
Not minus three. Get serious, man. Not minus three. Your nose is growing, dude. Your nose is growing.
Okay, can I put this out there? So you guys locked in, though. Can we get confirmed?
Yeah, we're on Houston. Minus three.
Locking in. So on paper, I would say yes, but this Texans offense is not good. They are bottom half of the league in almost every statistic. Stroud has not been an elite player whatsoever. So I look at this thing, and I think that this is a classic, greasy Pittsburgh game. Do I think they'll win? I think it depends on how well Aaron plays. Now, he's not going to be Josh Allen. He's not going to be Matthew Stafford.
