We also have our good friend Dan Orlovsky on the show, talking ball. We're going to do Fyre Fest. We're going to talk about Thursday Night Football.
Chapter 2: What happened with the Bucs' performance on Thursday Night Football?

There we go. It made you a fan, and that's what Game Time does. These special moments, they're the type of moments Game Time is celebrating. Go to 12daysofgametime.com today for a chance to experience one of these moments. Okay, let's go. Yeah. Yeah. Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours. Today is Friday, December 12th, and Kirk Cousins is back. Is he him?
I'll tell you what. Kirk Cousins might have another...
100 million dollars 200 million dollar contract if he could just play the tampa bay buccaneers because in the last three starts against the tampa bay buccaneers he has thrown for 1158 yards 11 touchdowns and one interception a throwback night and the big story here is the bucks are in deep deep trouble doo-doo they're in doo-doo they are not good
With a win over the Saints on Sunday, the Carolina Panthers can make next week's game a clinching game. Really? Yeah. If the Panthers beat the Saints this weekend, I think that's true. You might want to double check. I'm going to double check for you because I feel like that might not be true. I've been wrong before. I ran it through the playoff simulator.
Then you should be right.
But we should probably double check it.
Playoff simulator.
ESPNs. I went back to my main bitch because I branched out. I sampled the fruits of the other pies, and I thought, you know what? Let's go back to home base. Let's run the football. ESPN playoff simulator. They haven't changed it in 15 years. I know how to use that one. I'm pretty sure that if the Panthers beat the Saints this weekend...
in New Orleans, that makes next week's game, which I believe is in Charlotte, against the Bucs, that would be for the NFC South. I think you're right. I'm running it through the simulator. Now, is there anything with the common opponents or anything like that? No, I think you're right. That's something I didn't do because I only did the Bucs and the Panthers games. Wow.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Bucs' loss on TNF?
Tyree Killian walking through that door. It would be a real shame.
Older, fatter, slower. Unlike Brady, who sped up at the end of his career and added the second dimension of the running game.
Yeah, but he was always a pass. He was always a gunslinger.
Sell that shirt. Older, fatter, slower. I don't like that you're body shaming him. Yeah, I don't either.
Chapter 5: What is the significance of Sherrone Moore's firing at Michigan?
He's a father.
Yeah, that's kind of... I would argue that Patrick Mahomes is also a gunslinger. Not anymore. Have you seen him throw the deep ball this year?
No, but you were like Tom Brady was always a gunslinger. But Patrick Mahomes... It's not like Patrick Mahomes was like a rushing quarterback.
Also, comparatively speaking, he was infinitely more dynamic with his feet than Brady was. The early Mahomes MVP years, he was scrambling around, running around, getting first downs, like... I haven't looked up the South Bank. That was a huge part of his game.
Chapter 6: How do the upcoming games impact playoff predictions?
What are we talking about? He did run for 60 yards on Sunday night.
Patrick Mahomes might be the leading rusher on the Chiefs this year. Yeah, he still can run. It's not as fast. Okay. Because he's the older, fatter? I think he's fatter, faster. Yeah. Older, fatter, faster.
Harder to bring down. They're going to make the playoffs. They're going to win this game by 30. They're going to make the playoffs. You keep doing this. It's going to be Bills, Chiefs, Ravens. They're all going to be in.
Let me look up these stats for Mahomes. I'm curious because he is running the ball a lot. Yeah, he ran the ball. I think he had 60 plus yards. He's no longer the leading rusher. Kareem Hunt has 545 yards. Patrick Mahomes is in second with 407 yards. Because every game, at least on this stretch, has been a playoff game. And you know one thing about Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs.
He's going to use his feet to get first down. Yeah, he's averaging 6.6 yards per carry. It's pretty good. Older, fatter, faster. That's pretty damn good. It's all right. Okay. We're going to go into the games that are now higher spreads, starting with Browns at Bears. Bears minus 7.5 over under 38.5. It's going to be cold. It's going to be cold. Yeah. Wind chill.
Then it's going to get warm again on Monday.
I guess I kind of had the moment where I saw that stat about the weather in Chicago, and it didn't hit me that that was the weather that I would be living in. I was like, oh, that's going to be miserable. I was like, fuck. We're going to be sitting on our couch. That's where we live.
On Sunday, I think it was like negative four was the low. Maybe 12 was the high, but the wind chill is probably going to be like negative 10. Zach, what about 46 on Thursday? Ooh. 46 on Thursdays. We got to get to Thursday. Yeah, we got to get to Thursday. There's a world where we don't get to Thursday. But, yeah, it's going to be cold. It's going to be a very, very cold game.
Shador's going to get blobbed. Yep. He's going to get blobbed for sure. Windchill. I am nervous about this game just because I think the Browns, when we talk about it every single week, that the Browns are in every game at least at halftime, and you don't want to fuck around in a situation like that. Yeah.

Chapter 7: What are the key insights from Dan Orlovsky about Super Bowl contenders?
What's the punishment? It's nut-cutting time. It is nut-cutting time.
Nipple pierced? No. We need everyone to come prepared. Every week we do this. We're not going to decide on one right now. It is close enough. And then we're going to be like, all right. I like the idea of the outdoor boys. Everyone send us submissions.
The outdoor boys video would be, that's a good idea that Max had. Isn't he a politician now? You see that photo? Yeah. Well, we wouldn't be doing a collab. I don't know.
We'd just be doing our video.
Right, Max?
Yeah, we would just do our own video.
Yeah.
Just find somewhere to go do an Outdoor Boys video.
All right. Next week, we are deciding the punishment because we are close enough that it's not... You know what I mean? Like, everyone's still alive. So... Are we doing second and last? No, I think we just go last. Or we could do second and last. I don't care.

Chapter 8: How does Dan Orlovsky analyze Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' performance?
We got to figure all this out. Yeah, we'll figure all this out next week. Okay. It's a good podcast. We got to figure this all out. Yeah, this is good podcasting. We got to figure this out. We got to figure this out. Okay. Picks. Who's up first? Max.
Me. I am going Rams, Lions over 54 and a half.
Love it.
I'm going to take the Ravens minus two and a half against the Bengals.
PFT. I'm going to take the 49ers minus 12 and a half. Good pick. I'm going to take my official switch on advisors. Bill's Patriots over 49 and a half.
I'm going to take the Seattle Seahawks minus 13 and a half. Do I have two? Nope. Nope. Nope.
I'm going to take.
God damn it.
I wanted the 49ers. I'll go Cowboys minus five and a half. And Rams minus six. Rams minus six. Wait, no. No, no. Can't do that. Disqualification. Disqualification. Disqualification. Come on, bitch. Come on, you bitch. Get it going. Jets, Jaguars, over 41 and a half.
