What is the episode’s opening theme and who are the hosts?
You can say confluence during the three hours, but can we get you to say like I really think it should be called the Mean Joe River? Tell I in that and see how he thinks. See if we can squeeze that in in the three hour call. You can do that. It'll take you ten seconds. How say you?
Yeah, no, that's not happening.
Hey, I and Eagle's best pal, Ross Tucker's in before he and Eagle head over to the banks of the Three Rivers. We're gonna talk about Allen, both Josh and Zach, plus the underappreciated Matthew Stafford. As for week three matchups, can the Chargers get right in Western New York? Who's the king of Rio? The team from Charm City or America's alleged team? Plus Raiders at the Bayou, Rams a mile high. We have so much to To discuss, let's start the show.
Yes, hi and hello, my fellow football Americans. Welcome to NFL Week 3. Welcome to Football America, presented by DraftKings Sports now in all 50 states. It's episode 85. We're cooking with gas, and we appreciate all who subscribed and spread the good word. We're now Instagram compliant. Football underscore America underscore show is how you follow along there. And I gotta tell you. Yeah. I don't feel like I'm hearing from enough of you, my fellow football Americans. I don't care what comment section you choose, YouTube, Insta, Twitter, or otherwise, or you know, drop us a line directly. Um, however you do it, weigh in, let us know what you like, let us know what you don't like. I'm not above begging. I promise you, your life will improve leaps and bounds.
Or maybe it won't. Either way. Now, we've got Ross Tucker coming up in a sec. Meantime, we've got Buddy Badowski coming at us from where are you, buddy? Dressed like a Florida goon.
I am in Baltimore. Yeah, I'm in Baltimore, uh patiently waiting to see whether I'm actually going to be able to go to a game at Fenway Park this weekend because there's something called a nor'easter, which sounds like a bunch of just wind and rain, a lot of people getting up in arms about it. So we'll see. Maybe go to you should maybe
go to Boston you should go to Boston if you wanna do that. Yeah, Yeah.
that's that's the plan. That's the plan. Camp Vineyards last night, Nats Park Friday. Hopefully, maybe possibly Fenway Park Sunday Saturday or Sunday. We'll see.
Okay, we've got Gino and Danny B behind the glass in Miami and there in Studio B in the Levitard Studios. Mika Bayo. Tony is ready to go, fellas. Let's jump into it, shall we? Winter stand games. If you can only watch three pro football games on Sunday, these are those.
Why does Ross Tucker think Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson is underappreciated?
Let's start it off at number three, the third most meaningful game of the weekend, by my estimation. Chargers. Bill. Bills, home team bills. People say for whatever ails that new stadium, um, apparently it's very, very loud. The total in the on this game at the time of this recording is fifty and a half. I'm gonna go Chargers twenty-seven to twenty-six with the upset. Week three, by my estimation, is the weirdest results week on the NFL schedule. Go back through it if you don't believe me. You will see with some weird outcomes to games like wait. What? That team beat that team? What in week three? Buffalo's pass defense, as good as the offense has been, the pass defense has been downright bad. 27th in EPA.
The Chargers committed in the offseason or when they hire Jim Harbaugh to run, run, run the ball. They are not good at running the ball, though. And despite some borderline fluky stuff with Herbert picks so far. He's already had three picks and he's not a pick machine generally over the course of his season. He's had some bad luck in that area. I think they're gonna be able to throw the ball on him. Next up, Mika Bayo. Tony, how say you in this game?
I actually don't hate the pick. I'm gonna take the Bills to win, but I like the Chargers to cover here. And it feels like if their offense, the Chargers, if they can't do it against the Bills, who have quietly, I know they're winning, but have quietly been shredded by the Texans and the Lions in that second half. Like if there's a get right spot for this Chargers offense, here it is.
