0:01 All right, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back. You know who it is, I am Derek Thompson. And I'm Diego Thompson, and who are we? We're the Pick'em. Pros. We are the Pick'em Pros coming back at you in the house with a special episode of who you Got here live at King's. Let's noise there we go. Pick'em Pros in the house, baby. Hey, thank you to everybody that came today. We really appreciate you. Thank you to Kings for letting us have our live show here. We appreciate it. We're going to give you a fire show here today. We are going to talk about the NFL week one. Who's excited about the NFL? Whoa NFL?

0:41 We're going to talk about the NFL week one. Picks man and I'm just going to beat you down, like I always do, Diego. No, no, no, Definitely not beating me down. How about that Super Bowl? last year. Yeah, well, you know what you got lucky? You got lucky oh like the last three years OK. Yeah, yeah, you got lucky three years in a row. Ok, all right, father-son dynamic duo. We also have 12-year NFL veteran Desmond Clark joining us, so he will be joining us later and joins us for every show of who you Got All right. Well, hey, man, let's get on into it. Man, first, we had the game last night that you and I picked correctly, so we're going to start off on that. We had the Philadelphia Eagles.

1:21 They beat the Pack packers, man, they beat the packers. So you got it right. Yeah and uh, somebody got it wrong yeah, yeah, I think that was des clark, yeah okay, yeah, that's got that wrong. That's got that wrong. He may or may not have gotten the pick thursday, right, but we'll get to that later. Yeah, we'll get to that later. Yeah well, hey, man, why don't you go ahead and give us your recap on the Eagles-Packers game last night? All right. So the Eagles, their offense, played really well Saquon with his three touchdowns, aj Smith, aj Brown, devontae Smith. They all played well.

2:05 Their defense still looks a little bad, but I'm still confident in their offense and for them to win the division, yeah. So you still have them winning the division. Yes, definitely still have them winning the division, okay, okay. Well, you know we have a lot of Dallas Cowboy fans in the crowd right now. Yeah. I hear some cheers and boos on that. So that's a polarizing team. That's a polarizing team for sure, all right. Well, hey, what about Saquon Barkley? Yeah, this three touchdown, those were huge. Yeah, he looks like he's fitting really good in the Eagles offense. So yeah, big addition for them. Yeah, he started off great man. Three touchdowns in that first game. If you picked him up for your fantasy football squad, like I did, you're sitting pretty right now, so he definitely lot like I did.

2:46 Uh, you're sitting pretty right now, so you definitely had a had a great start, for sure, for sure. So the Packers outlook um, you know, jordan Love got hurt, so we don't know the severity of that. He announced that he's out three to six weeks. Three to six, okay so we kind of dodged a bullet with that. So we didn't know if he was going to be out for the year three to six weeks. So with him being out three to six weeks, what's the outlook for the green bay packers? uh, well, it's gonna be tough for them. Uh, jordan, he was a big part of their offense, of course being the qb, but uh, jayden reed looked good. Uh, christian watson looked good, josh jacobs had a good game, so, uh, I think they're gonna be. I think they're gonna be okay once they get jordan love back. Make a playoff push now you mentioned a receiver.

3:27 I believe that was jayden reed yes, jayden reed okay now, I think somebody had him rated pretty highly on their fantasy. I think somebody had him in their top 20 fantasy rankings a couple weeks ago. Do you know who that was? I can't remember who that was. You can't remember who that was. Okay, you can't remember who that was. It's just one game, well, you? know what? I'll jog your memory. I had Jaden Reed in my top 20 fantasy wide receivers, so I told y'all he was a must pick up. Okay, it's one game. It's one game. There's 17 left. Oh, so now it's one game, okay. Well, he's going in anybody's league now are the ravens gonna keep losing? what's that? Are the ravens gonna keep losing?

4:09 I don't know about that. A little about that, okay. So what about the philadelphia eagles? Um, what's the outlook? for them. Oh well, yeah, they look good in their game uh, like I said earlier I, think they're I feel confident about them winning the division winning the vision. are they going any further than that? I don't know about that, okay. They might win a playoff game. So who's coming out of the NFC overall? The Lions? Who's going to the Super Bowl? Who? The Lions? The Detroit Lions, yes, okay. Do we have any Detroit Lions fans in the building? I'm not hearing anything. I'm not hearing, not hearing. Anything Not hearing anything. No Lions fans. I thought we had. We don't have any Detroit Lions fans in the building. Okay, I thought so. I thought so. Diego, just picked them to go to the Super Bowl. You haven't won in the Super Bowl, no, no.

4:52 No, okay. Well, I haven't won in the Super Bowl, oh yeah. They're going, all the way You're going to All right. Well, hey, I guess we have to transition man. I don't really want to, but we have to transition to the Kansas City Chiefs Baltimore Raven game on Thursday. That started off the NFL season. Man, so happy the NFL is back. Patrick Mahomes, kelsey Lamar it just shattered, you know, ratings records the other night. Desmond Clark did get that one right, so he is a pick-em pro for a reason. So he did get that one right, although we were close man, because if that toe it was like the Kevin.

5:32 Durant's, if that toe was not on the line, we would have won, that you know. But hey, give us your recap on that game. Well, the Chiefs looking good. They took the first game seriously, unlike last year. Xavier Worthy looked good with his two touchdowns. Their offense looks like it's firing, so that's good for them. And the Ravens they looked good for the game. They almost had it. That was a tough game to win, but they almost had it. In. Arrowhead. That's a tough environment to play in. It was Now. What about? Um, what about lamar jackson? So lamar jackson ran a lot. I believe he got over 100 yards. I think he's third in all time rushing for quarterbacks already which?

6:13 is just insane with where he is right now in his career to be third. Uh, you know who's number one all time cam is it cam? No, no michael vick yeah michael vick's number one, all time Russian for QBs, but Cam Newton's number two, cam Newton's number two and right now Lamar's number three, but it looks like Lamar's going to shatter that soon, because he's not. He's not too far behind. But there are questions. The O-line. The O-line had a lot of penalties in that game. So I can't blame him for running around. So okay, so can he sustain that level of running? So how do you feel about? how much he ran in that game. I think I think he can sustain it. I think he can. But for them to go to the sewer bowl and win it, the o-line is gonna have to clean those penalties up okay, okay.

7:00 So hey, we've got a question. We we got a question from online for you, diego. Specifically, how do you think Zay Flowers? is going to do this year. I think Zay Flowers is going to have a big year. He had a lot of catches in the last game. Only had 37 yards. Had like eight catches to go along with it. Lamar missed Zay in the end zone, but I think I think Zay is going to have a big year. Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. You know the question question was directed to you, you know. So you just, but I'm gonna chime in on that as well. I pick, I pick zay up in pretty much every fantasy league that I have so I'm definitely one league I'm definitely high on zay. I might be a little too high on zay flowers, but I think he has a big year for sure yeah yeah, yeah, thanks for the question.

7:42 Appreciate that that for sure, derek Henry. So how did? How did Derek Henry look in that? backfield man with the Ravens, Derek Henry. He looked good. He had that touchdown Only, had only had about four yards to carry, but he looked good. He looked good yeah. Yeah, he looked good. But I was surprised, you know, in the second quarter, as they were driving, he was on the bed. I was. I was worried actually, because I watched the replay of the game. But when I tuned in, I tuned into the second quarter and I saw the backup in there and I didn't see Derrick Henry at all. And I picked up Derrick Henry in one of my other leagues early and I was like, oh man, is he hurt? Don't tell me he's hurt already. So they clearly are trying to save him.

8:23 He's had a lot of carries through his career and it looks like they're trying to save him for the playoffs. Yeah, I like that strategy. See, he's going to be a beast in the playoffs. Yeah for sure, for sure. Ok, now what about for the Kansas City Chiefs? Let's talk about them for a bit. And then we've got a special guest here. We've got a gentleman who says he's going to be the next Stephen A Smith. He might even be better than Stephen A Smith, so I want you to show him a lot of love when he comes on in just a second here. But we're going to talk about the Kansas City Chiefs and, if they can, three-peat, so we're excited to have you on Christopher Davis here in a second. But let's talk about Xavier Worthy and the impact that he has made for the Kansas City Chiefs.

9:04 Yeah, he's making a big impact. He scored two touchdowns yesterday, one rushing, one receiving, so he's going to make a big impact on offense and why they're going to win another Super Bowl, okay, okay, so we already know where you feel how you feel about that about the Kansas City Chiefs, okay, well, hey, I'll tell you what. Let's go ahead and bring the next Stephen A Smith up here in just a second. We're going to take a quick 30-second commercial break and then we're going to bring you a bright young star in just one second. We will be right back. Give us 30 seconds, thank you.

10:11 All right, we are back, we're back. Thanks for letting us have that quick 30 second break. You know part of Pick'em Pros, man. One of the great things about our show is that we love to engage with our subscribers, with the people that are out there Many people you know you can call in, but the great thing about our show is you can actually come on and be on our show. You know what I mean. So that's what we love to do. So, all the fans out there, we appreciate your love and support. So we have Mr Christopher Davis here, who is a sports guru, got a ton of knowledge. Man, I'm really impressed by all that you have to offer. Look out for him. He's got a great, great podcast that I want him to tell you about that he's going to come out with soon.

10:51 But first let's talk about the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay, tell us, are the Kansas City Chiefs going to three-peat this year? Well, I think it's highly likely, guys. I'm not going to lie. However, my dark horse team that I believe can upset them is the Houston Texans. Now, if you see the talent they have at receiver, the defensive additions they have, I really believe that they can truly make a run. Now, baltimore did give them their best shot and I understand it is a regular season. I believe Baltimore still has a chance to upset the Chiefs as well. However, we see how dominant they are and it's basically the arrowhead invitation when it comes to the AFC Championship. So you never know.

11:33 But I truly believe that this is the Texans. Baltimore Ravens' best chance to upset the Chiefs. Okay, okay, I like that. I like that. What do you think, diego? Yeah, I like the Texans as a contender. I think they're going to have a big regular season, but I'm worried about them in the playoffs. I don't know if CJ is going to live up to expectations in the playoffs. But yeah, I got the Chiefs. As I said earlier, Okay, okay. So for those of you that may be new to Pick'em Pros here and new to myself, Diego, especially Diego and Desmond Clark. Diego is very high on the Carolina Panthers, so you'll hear about that later. As we all are. We all like the Carolina Panthers. They're coming to you from North Carolina, so we certainly have love for the hometown team, but Diego, maybe a little more than others.

12:18 So I think I sense a little bit of salt in the wound when it comes to the CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans, because there's still a little bit of a controversy on if the Panthers made the right, the right selection there. Do I? Am I detecting that correctly, diego? There's no controversy. Bryce is going to show this year why he's the better quarterback. OK, all right. Hey Chris, what do you think about that man? man. Honestly, this is the make or break a year for bryce young. I feel by year three if you're still looking for the guy. I don't know if he's going to be the guy, but this year, I believe, with the weapons, we got the addition of dave canales, who's approved quarterbacks, with a smaller stature like a baker mayfield, like a russell wilson.

13:02 I truly believe that bryce young has the potential for a breakout and he's on my fantasy team so I hope he balls out this year, man. That's right. That's right. Well, I do have to say I am very impressed that Bryce Young just stayed upright last season. I mean, he did not have any protection at all. He hung in there and because the biggest knock on him it wasn't necessarily his skill set, it was is he big enough? And I think he certainly answered that question. So I feel really good about that. So I do feel as much as I do like to mess with you. I do feel that he certainly has the talent and with the time, I think he can prove to be a top-tier quarterback. But hey, proof is in the pudding, so we're going to see.

13:45 We're going to see what happens there. Okay, all right. Well, hey, chris man, before you go. So I know you told us about the AFC and that you know again, this is the best chance for the Houston Texans and, of course, for the Baltimore Ravens. But what about the NFC? Who do you have coming out of the NFC this year? I personally believe it will be the Lions and or the Eagles. I'm personally rooting for the Lions after the great season that they had this year, last year, I truly believe that they were battle tested. You know, they had San Francisco on the ropes. They didn't necessarily. They didn't necessarily. It felt like they were too young in the moment and they kind of the lights shined a little too bright on them.

14:27 However, I believe that because of that battle test, they will be ready and that they will turn up this season. So I really believe in the Lions and the Eagles. I don't know if you saw last night. The Saquon Barkley addition is something special. I'm saying three touchdowns. It feels like when Christian McCaffrey went to San Francisco. That's how special it feels. So I believe it's a toss-up between the Lions and the Eagles Didn't feel that special. For me, that's a great analogy. That's a great analogy. Okay, oh, we have a question here. So let's see, we've got Hunter. Burgett said should I trade Kelsey and Fantasy? Wow, this is a great question, okay. So let's answer this one. Let's all kind of take this. So, hunter, thanks for your question. Sir, you said should I trade Kelsey and Fantasy with all the weapons on that offense?

15:09 Well, man, I'll tell you what. Why don't you take that, diego? I mean, if you can get a steal for Kelsey, then you should do it, but I still think Kelsey is the number one option in the offense. So I wouldn't give him up for nothing. So, yeah, what? What do you think, chris? Despite xavier worthy looking absolutely amazing, I truly think that travis kelsey is still that bread and butter of that offense. He's all reliable. Patrick mahomes is going to get his targets up with him, so I really don't believe. I believe this week was an aberration. He's going to be fine yeah okay, no, yeah, I, I agree with that. Um, I mean, he's still top tier. I mean, clearly, kelsey's best uh performance is going to be in the playoff.

15:51 So we know that. We know, come playoff time he'll be ready. Um, is he what he once was? No, you know, has he lost a step? Yes, but he's still a top option and the benefit benefit of having Kelsey is that he's a red zone target, so he's going to catch touchdowns for you for sure he's going to get his numbers. He wants to justify the salary that he's getting. So I would hold on to him. Right now, again, his value is dipping, so now is not the time to get rid of him. Hang in there at least another week or so, because let me tell you, hunter, you're going to be very sad if you straight him this week and then, all of a sudden, he starts balling out. So you can't take too much from week one.

16:32 So hang in there another week. All right, thanks for the question. Well, hey, Chris, man, pleasure to have you. Oh, hey, tell us about your new show that's coming out. All right. So coming out soon I already have the Instagram page for it, but coming out soon, my podcast, generational Debates, where I discuss music and sports between generations, will be coming out, hopefully beginning of October. I believe that this podcast will be a great way to bridge the gap between the old generation and new generation on sports and music. These are both my passions, these are both what I love to cover and I feel like sometimes we lean on either the old heads hating, or the young people like oh, people play with plumbers. I want to kind of provide a safe space for both people to just share their opinions and have good takes.

17:19 I love that. I love that. Yeah, we need more, yes, yes, round of applause. We need more yes, yes, round of applause. We need more great, great content like that, and also to bridge the generation. So I love that. That's what we pride ourselves with. Pick'em Pros is by bringing you know all the generations together. So we love the fact that you're doing that. So we love to love to be on there at some point. Yes, sir, make sure you're the first guest, for sure, that's what I'm talking about. Thank you, Appreciate that All right man Much love. Big round of applause for Christopher Davis. Thank y'all. All right, we're going to take a quick 30-second break and then we'll be back for the duration of the show with our week one picks. You don't want to miss it? All right, let's go All right.

17:59 Thank you, thank you, thank you.

18:40 Hold on, all right, we are back. We are back. We are back. We're about to get into our week one picks. Y'all ready for these picks? All right, we're going to get into it. So, first, first, we're going to give you our no-brainers. Okay, so there were what? 16 games this week? Right, everybody is playing in week one. Everybody is playing week one. So we already had two games, all right. So In week one, everybody's playing week one. So we already had two games, all right. So, total, we agreed on nine games, yep, so we called these no-brainers chain.

19:24 What determine who's the winner between myself, mr desmond clark who you'll see in a little bit or diego? Now, one of the things about picking pros I haven't mentioned yet is that we don't just pick games. We also like to give back to the community through our picks. So we all pick for various causes and, depending on who wins, we, out of our own pocket, donate to a cause. Okay, so we're all playing. So Pick'em Pros this is our third season of who you Got. This is our third season and so far to date, we've donated over $10,000 to various causes in the community based on our picks. So we just want to put that out there, all right. So again you hear the name Pick'em Pros, you may think, okay, it's a sports betting gambling show.

20:06 It's actually the opposite, although, hey, if you want to take our picks and do that, cool, because we are right more than we're wrong. However, the premise of it is to give back to the community and we play for different causes. So that's what picking pros is all about. All right, good deal. So hold on, we got a question here. Let's go ahead and take this question from Elijah Battle, who's actually here. So what's up? Elijah man Really excited about what we're going to be doing, sir. So thank you for coming out and bringing your lovely wife as well. So Elijah asked what do you guys think about the new kickoff rule from the XFL being in the NFL? Why don't you? take that, diego. I haven't really got a chance to see it yet, honestly, but I think it's going to be cool.

20:46 It's going to be different, have a few more kick returns. So, yeah, I think it's going to be cool. It's going to be cool. Yeah, I like it. I think they should move the ball back five more yards. I think they should move the ball back five more yards. I think they should do that. But I like the rule. I like the rule. But if they move the ball back five more yards, then I think they'll get more kick returns, and that was the whole point of what they wanted to do. So thank you for that question. We really appreciate that. All right, so here let me get hold on, Let me get our no-brainers here, All right? So those of you that are here, you can see on the screen, and those of you watching virtually, you can see our no-brainer picks here. Diego man, let's go ahead and start one through nine and let's start with our no-brainer picks before we get to the games that we disagree on and talk a whole lot of smack.

21:35 So what's the first? game. Our first no-brainer game is the Pittsburgh Steelers at the Atlanta Falcons, and we all have the Atlanta Falcons. Kirk Cousins' first game with the Falcons. The Falcons have the home field advantage, so it should be hype. So we all got the Falcons. Yeah, we have the Falcons in this one. The Falcons are the favorite. They're a three-and-a-half-point favorite. They're at home. I typically like to take, especially in week one. Again, there are a few exceptions to this, so I may contradict myself, but I like to take the home team a lot, especially early, because I think they have an even bigger advantage earlier in the season. Again, there's a few exceptions to that, but I'm high on the Falcons. I have the Falcons winning the NFC South.

22:18 That's wrong. You think that's wrong? Yep it's going to be the Panthers. It's the Panthers. We'll see about that. So I have the Falcons winning the division this year, so I definitely have them over the Pittsburgh Steelers, although the Steelers are a tough team. The Steelers have a great defense, they're very well coached and they can certainly go in there and get it. But I'm going to go ahead and go with the Falcons, so all three of us including. Desmond Clark. We all have the Atlanta Falcons in this one. All right. What's the next one man, second no-brainer game is the Arizona Cardinals at the Buffalo Bills, and we all have the Buffalo Bills. They got the Bills Mafia at home field advantage.

23:01 One of the best quarterbacks in the league, josh allen and uh, so we all got the bills. Yeah, yeah, this one man definitely have to go with, uh, buffalo bills, although, hey, you got kyle murray. On the other side you have marvin harris, he's back healthy making his debut um. It's not freezing cold yet in buffalo yeah, so they don't have that huge advantage, you know, with the weather yet, but uh, but yeah, I'll still go with go with Buffalo in this one, but I'm very curious to see how the Cardinals pan out. You know, the first week is interesting. There are a lot of there are a lot of upsets in week one. Yeah so you know, when you're picking for week one, you definitely have to pick some games that may not, may not seem reasonable, because there are going to be some shockers in week one.

23:42 That always happens week one, but this is not one that we think is going to be a shock. Yeah, no. With the six and a half point favorite that they are All right. Cool, all right. What's? What's? The third one now? Third game is the Tennessee Titans going to Chicago to play the Bears. We all got Chicago in this one. Caleb Williams debut. They should be. They should be hype for Caleb and yeah, I just think the Bears the better team. I don't really know what the Tennessee is going to do this year. So I'm going with the Bears. Yeah, well, as you know, man, I'm and I haven't been for years and years and years but I'm very high on the Chicago Bears this year. So I actually have Chicago Bears going to the playoffs. I picked that early on. I picked them to finish second in the NFC North and now, after with Jordan Love being out for up to six weeks, that may become a reality.

24:32 Now. I didn't think he was going to get hurt, but I felt that the Packers would slip a little bit. So that's kind of another subject. But yeah, I'm high on the Bears, the fact that they're at home. There's going to be a lot of hype around Caleb Williams. They are stacked at receiver, oh my goodness. So I think they're going to be. I think they're going to run away with this. In Tennessee's week they've lost a lot of weapons and the Bears are going to take this one for sure. So we've got the Bears in this. We all have that. We know Dez. You know Dez is a homer. Yeah, we know he's going to take the Bears, all right, good. Shout out to Brandon B man. We appreciate you man Fourth no-brainer game. We got the New England Patriots going to Cincinnati to play the Bengals. We all got the Bengals in this one, Joe Burrow coming back from his injury, from trying to get a Super Bowl go deep in the playoffs.

25:18 They got Jamar Chase T Higgins looking for new deals, so I think they're going to ball out. So we all got bangles. Yes, we all have the bangles in this one, an eight-and-a-half-point favorite. You don't see that large of a spread. However, I am concerned. I'm concerned that Jamar Chase has not played yet. What's going on with him? And then T Higgins just pulled a hammer. Really so that's not good, and I picked up T Higgins in all of my fantasy leagues, so I'm very sad about that. But with all that said, the New England Patriots do not have any weapons at all. The game is in Cincinnati, they have Joe Burrow and they should have enough to go ahead and take care of this game.

26:01 So I think the safe pick is still with the Bengals on this one. Yeah, all right, all right. So the fifth no-brainer game Houston Texans traveling to Indianapolis to play the Colts, and we all have Houston. This one, they got Diggs. High power offense. CJ Stroud. No, not CJ offense. Uh, no, not cj. Added nico collins, tankdale, stephon diggs and they're gonna win this one in in indy, okay, yeah, yeah, man, high on houston. A lot of people are high on houston. Um, you know, I I wouldn't be as high if they hadn't made all the offseason moves, but, my goodness, they had a very strong defense. I picked up their defense in all my fantasy leagues.

26:41 They have a strong defense. They added to the defense. They even had a motivated digs who is on, you know, one year, you know, prove it, deal yeah uh man, yeah, I think they're gonna uh play well. However, divisional games are always tricky. Yes, and this is a divisional game that's in indianapolis, so I would play this one cautiously. Yes, I'm picking houston, but for those of you that are betting and all that, I would not bet on this one at all. Yeah, um, I have an asterisk by this game, because this is one that I could certainly see an upset, especially with all the hype. I've seen c Stroud at more parties than Carter this offseason.

27:23 So I mean I don't know. So I don't know. He's been partying a lot and everybody's elevating CJ Stroud for sure, so I'm curious to see how that plays out. So that's the only cautionary tale I have. So I would not bet on this one at all, but picking the Texas, all right. Sixth no-brainer game is the Jacksonville Jaguars at Miami Dolphins, and we're all picking Miami Dolphins. This one. Miami usually plays well in week ones. Tua coming back, tyreek, you know they're going to go off. So we all got Miami in this one. Yeah, we all have Miami and got Miami in this one. We all have Miami. This one, the last one, I'm not confident in this one at all.

28:05 I'm picking Miami. They are the favorite. They're at home. But Jacksonville, I think Jacksonville has a bounce back year this year. I think they definitely bounce back Miami, I feel it's still banged up A lot of their defensive players. They got hurt, they had severe injuries late in the year last year, so I'm a little concerned about that. I feel they have enough to win this game, but this is going to be a very close game. It can go either way. So again, I'd be cautious on this one as well. Well, I'm very confident in this pick. I'm very confident in Miami and wreaking all of them, okay, well, I'm very confident in this pick. I'm very confident, miami very confident and reek and all them, okay. Okay, you're very confident in miami and reeking all of them, but I don't think you have them going anywhere near the afc championship I have them winning a lot of regular season games.

28:51 That's what they always do. Okay, that's true that's true. Well, the dog, and that's the thing about the dolphins. So they win a lot of regular season games. However, they normally have a softer schedule because they finish lower. So you know, we'll see. We're going to see just how well they do this year with the schedule that they have. So, we have another question here from Hunter. Thanks for your question. Will Jamar Chase play man? What's your thought on that? Will Jamar Chase? play. He's playing. He already announced he's playing and he hasn't really got any practice in, but he doesn't need practice. He's a great receiver, so yeah. Yeah, but he hasn't gotten signed. He has not signed a new deal right, yeah, but well, he's in a fourth year.

29:33 He's still on his rookie deal, he just needs an extension. But he was a hold in because he wanted to force their hand and get that contract, so a lot of people didn't think that he would play. If he announced he's playing, he's back. He practiced a few times this week, okay, so he's back. All right. So I agree with you that he plays only because you know he still is due. What? 4.3 million or something like that. Yeah, 4.3 million or something like that. Yeah, it's around that $4.43. So yeah, I think he definitely plays, but he's still going to try to force their hand and get that deal. All right, thanks for the question, All right, what's the next one? Next no-brainer is the Vegas Raiders at LA to play the Chargers.

30:15 Y'all have the Chargers in this one, chargers in this one. Chargers got a new coach, john Harbaugh. I can't remember, but they got Justin Herbert and I'm confident in them to beat the Raiders. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree with that. I'm not confident in the Raiders at all. Their quarterback situation is shaky and I also feel that, by that being the case, their top tier receiver, I think, devontae Adams, he's not going to be too happy. So you know, he's trying to tell everybody that he is. And I get that and I'm sure he loves the area. But he wants to win and I don't see how they're going to win in Vegas, so I don't quite know how that's going to turn out.

30:56 Harbaugh is a great coach. I think he's going to turn out. Harbaugh is a great coach. I think he's going to do a great job with the Chargers and really build that team up from the defense first and make Herbert a better quarterback. So I think they well the Chargers will prevail in there. Silas, man no Raiders beat. Chargers by 14. Silas, I'll bet you anything you want to bet on that one. My man, all right, that's your hot take, I like that All right. What's the next? one man. Next no brainer game is Washington Commanders at the Tampa Bay Bucs. Ok, I got we all got Tampa Bay Bucs, but I'm not that confident in this one because I think Washington's going to be better this year. They got Jane Daniels. I think he's going to have a good year at QB Awesome Eckler running back.

31:38 But I'll go with Tampa in this one, mainly because they're at home. Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. Definitely going with Tampa Bay in this one. Again, as you said, you know it's going to be close, you know commanders could go in there and get it, but man, the Bucs play pretty well at home. Yeah, they do, yeah, they do. They play pretty well. You know they've got the same squad coming back. There's a ton of continuity there, so I feel they'll they'll definitely take care of business and get this one All right. So we've got one more no brainer here, and it's real cool to have this one on the no brainer list, although this is going to be a very tough game Sunday night. What game is? this this is Sunday night football LAams going to detroit to play the lions.

32:21 Okay, we all got detroit, we all got detroit. Yeah, and I'm, I'm confident in it. I'm confident in it. I'm on raw jared golf. They're all gonna go off. Try to show them why they're a top super bowl contender okay, all right, all right, man. so, yeah, yeah, that is, um, that's gonna be a that going to be a great game and that's a rematch of the playoff game. So, that's going to be a great one. You've got Stafford going back to Detroit, so that's always a treat to see there. But yeah, I think Detroit takes care of business. It's the home opener. They know they should have gone to the Super Bowl last year. Yeah, definitely should have. They're going to come out and look to avenge that a little bit in this first game, get some feel-good vibes going, and I think they definitely pulled this one out on their quest to get to the Super Bowl this year.

33:12 Definitely to get to the Super Bowl this year, all right, okay, so those are our no-brainers. Y'all ready for the Island Games? Yes, so those are our no brainers. Y'all ready for the Island games? Yes, yes. These are the games that we disagree on. These are the games we disagree on. So we're going to start off with Diego's Island game. We've got five Island games. We're going to start with this one. This is what's going to determine where money's going this week. So we've got Carolina Panthers. Our beloved Panthers are traveling to New Orleans to play the Saints. Let's see, this is the Carolina Panthers. I'm sure there's a 1 o'clock game, right? Yeah, it's a 1 o'clock game. Okay, yeah, 1 o'clock game. You can just slot the Carolina Panthers in for 1 o'clock.

33:54 I'm cool with it. That's where we thrive we thrive in 1 o'clock. I'm driving one o'clock, do you? Do you really? We didn't last year, but you know, Okay, all right, but we're going to this year. All right, all right. So, diego, we're in such big suspense. Man, who do you have? I'm on an island with the Carolina Panthers this week and I'm very confident in it. All right, see the Panthers with their additions. They're going to go into New Orleans and they're going to win Bryce Young. Second year he's got this confidence and he's going to win them some games. Wow, he's going to win some games. I must say you do seem kind of confident. I am, I'm very confident. Okay, now you know what we're going to have to establish.

34:34 This is live here. We're going to have to put a live feed in the man cave tomorrow during the game, because, let me tell y'all, it's must-see TV. If you want to be entertained, just watch him, watch the Panthers there's more ups and downs than a roller coaster at Cedar Point. So, oh my goodness, it's just must-see TV to see that, so we're going to have to set that up, all right. Well, you know what, man, before I go, y'all want to hear from Desmond Clark. You want to hear from Desmond Clark, let's hear from our guy. So, before I go, let's hear from Desmond Clark and get his take on this game, diego. Diego, stop, stop it. Stop it, Carolina.

35:15 They won't be a good team this decade, so stop picking them. Your quarterback yeah, he's a decent quarterback, but he don't have anybody around him. Just stop picking Carolina, man, it's going to make you lose. If you want to compete with me, you better start making these type of picks. You better start picking with your head and not with your heart. I got the Saints over Carolina, winning big. Ooh man, he Carolina winning big. Ooh man, he said winning big, winning big. That's what he said. He said you got to start betting with your head, not your heart, man. I am betting with my head. Are you. I am betting with my head. We made off-season additions. Bryce Young is more confident.

35:56 We got a good head coach. Oh my God, like I mean. What is there not to like? Okay? So you want to go ahead and name the roster. I've already done that before. I'm not going to do that today. I'm not going to do that today. Okay, all right, well, yeah, so I've got the New Orleans Saints in this one, so you're on the island my man. What I will say, though, is if you hit on, this one you'll probably get the chain and be the winner this week between the three of us. So this is the money game for you. So I guess I have the chain. If you get this one, you'll probably have it. I guess I have the chain, man. We're going to see man. We're going to see. You know, this is in New Orleans, right. Yeah, I know, I know it's in.

36:42 New Orleans. Yes, okay, all right. Well, hey, man, good luck to you, man we don't need luck, okay, we don't need it. Oh man, All right, All right. Well, hey, we're going to move on. We've got hold on, We've got a message here. We've got a question. Oh man, Okay, this is a long one here. Philly Mike Okay, Okay, this is a long one here. Philly Mike, Okay, first of all, shout out to Philly Mike OG. We appreciate this. Let's break down this question and then we're going to get to my four island games here. So trade alert in the deep super flex. He just lost Jordan Love. He's offering this guy Love, Watson and Coleman. Interesting For Baker Olavi and my other QBs are Tua and Levis. I don't know about that.

37:24 That's a tough one. I think Tua is a good QB. I think Tua is going to be better. He might be better this year than Jordan Love. Yeah. I'm confident in Tua with him. That's a good one. I'm very confident in Tua. I've got Tua in all my leagues and you can get Tua late man, you can get Tua late. I still don't get why Tua is available so late, because when you get Tua, you need a good backup. Yeah, okay, yeah. Yeah. So yeah, man, you may want to go ahead and do that. Philly Mike, Philly Mike OG. I like that name. I like Okay, well, let's go ahead and move on to my island games. I'm on the island for four, okay, so I'm either brilliant or otherwise.

38:06 So we're going to find out. I think everybody thinks it's brilliant Sube. I don't think so. I don't think so All right, all right. So we're going to get to my four island games here. The first one the Minnesota Vikings travel to New. No, are they in New Jersey, I think first one. The minnesota vikings travel to new. Uh no, are they in new jersey? I? think they're in new jersey. They still play new jersey to play the giants metlife stadium. The vikings are two-point favorite, you know, but me being the great picker that I am, I don't always go by their spread because I know what the outcome is gonna be, all right. So I am on an island and I have the New York Giants winning this game. Okay, I've got them because they had a pretty good offseason actually.

38:48 They let Saquon go to the Eagles. They did not have a good offseason. Yeah, but Saquon did not fit with that squad. You know they needed to beef up the other areas on that team. That's why I say that they should have done everything they could to keep him if they knew he was going to go to the Eagles? No, because what good did it do them? Okay, you had Saquon all this time. It did not help them because their offensive line was awful. They didn't have a quarterback. They needed to build their team from the offensive line and the defense. Then get your running back. Saquon going to the Eagles gives the Giants no zero, zero, no, no. Watch, watch. They are going to shock everybody, and plus the Vikings. What did the Vikings do? What did the Vikings have?

39:28 They've got Justin Jefferson. They have Justin Jefferson. That's enough to beat the Giants. I don't think so. Their quarterback. Their quarterback? What Torres ACL? They have Sam Darnold. They've got Sam Darnold. Okay, you know what? I might have to change my pick? Oh my God, they got Sam Darnold. You talking about the same. Sam Darnold, you used to play for the. Carolina Panthers. That's a bad time. That's a bad time, that's right Point taken. So, nah, I don't believe in Sam Darnold, I'm going with the Giants. But hey, let's hear what Desmond Clark has to say, because he agrees with you. So you guys are together on this, let's hear what he's got to say.

40:10 Alright, we got the Broncos versus the Seahawks. I've been the wrong one, Alright we got the Broncos versus the Seahawks. Darren, you got the. Broncos over the Seahawks. All right, we got the Broncos versus the Seahawks Okay we don't have that one. All right, we don't have it. We don't have that one. My bad Technical difficulty that's on me, that's on me. But he talked a whole lot of junk on that one and basically told me that I was crazy for picking the Giants. Well you are. You are crazy for picking them. All right, Okay. All right. Well, let's move on to the next one. Man, I'm on an island with the Denver Broncos.

40:50 We've got the Denver Broncos going to Seattle All right Going to Seattle the. Seahawks are a six-point favorite. They're a six-point favorite at home All right man. The Seahawks. They're just a better team. Okay, they're playing in Seattle. Des said Seattle was the toughest stadium you ever had to play in. Like they got a tough stadium. Their fans are loud. It's going to be hard for the Broncos. Yeah, they have a great stadium, but they no longer have Pete Carroll, they don't have the coach. They have DK Tyler Lockett, I think the Seahawks are going to take a big dive. This year I've got the Seahawks finishing last in that division.

41:30 You've got the Cardinals finishing ahead of them. They've lost their coach. They also their receiving core with Lockett. Lockett was steady. Lockett's starting to get banged up. Lockett's getting older. They're going to take a step back. I still don't believe in Geno, and the Broncos are going to take a big leap forward this year. So I've got this is one of my upset specials for this week. You gotta always have one or two, so this is my big upset special. Name two players in the Broncos big upset special name. Name two players in the broncos, like I don't have to name two players for the denver broncos because everybody knows people from the denver broncos okay, I don't have to do that. I don't have to do that at all, man but hey, let's go with.

42:12 Uh, I like that. That was a good one. Let's hear what desperate clark's got to say about this game all right, we got the broncos versus the seahawks there. You, you got the broncos over the seahawks. Darren, you got the Broncos over the Seahawks. I like the Broncos being a good team at the end of the year because they have this rookie quarterback, bo Nix, who I like. But it's going to be Bo Nix's first game as a professional against an experienced team led by Geno Smith and because Bo Nix is a rookie, he's going to have those butterflies First game man, first game jitters. He'll be okay towards the end of the season. I think Denver will be okay as the season progresses, but for this first game, seattle is going to be all up in them.

42:53 Give me Seattle over Denver. All right, all right, yeah, no, that's actually great analysis. So he did play. Desmond clark did play 12 years in the nfl. He knows what he's talking about. This is just one of those games where you guys are wrong and I'm right. You know. That's all it is. This is uh, you know what? It's two players in the broncos, because I get so many right. This is a heat check, okay. This is steph curry half court heat check. Just to see how you didn't even get hot yet you can't is a heat check, okay this is steph curry half court heat check, just to see how you didn't even get hot yet. Huh, you can't shoot a heat check if you're not hot yet. But I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, all right, so let's go. That's two of my four island games. I've got two more island games let's go to my next one as I'm an expert in this one.

43:36 We've got the d Dallas Cowboys are traveling to Cleveland to play the Browns. Dallas Cowboys where you got to see a bunch of fan mix here okay, clapping here, all right. So we got the Cowboys traveling to Cleveland to play the Browns and, for those of you that don't know, I speak fluent, fluent Cowboy All right. So I don't always pick them to win because I know exactly what they're going to do. I'm very tuned in tune with Jerry Jones. If you follow us on Instagram, you'll know what I'm talking about. There's often a lot of impersonations there with Jerry, so I'm very in tune with the Dallas Cowboys previous season ticket holder. I know what I'm talking about. When it comes to the Cowboys, ok, so Dallas Cowboys are going to the playoffs OK, they'll have a good season.

44:21 But CD Lamb has been out, all right. He's not in football shape, right? now CD doesn't need practice. He's not quite where he needs to be. Okay, they haven't made a lot of moves and Cleveland is at home. They are strong and they're actually the two-and-a-half point favorite in this game. They're strong and they're actually the two and a half point favorite in this game. They're actually in this game. So I am on the island this game and I am actually picking the cleveland browns in this game. All right, actually picking the cleveland browns. So hey, it's all love. See, it's big. That's one of my, it's picks, not personal. Okay, I like the cowboys. I just don't have them to win this week because I have to get my picks right. So I got to pick with my head and not my heart.

45:03 You're not going to get this one right. You're not getting this one right. He picks with his heart. I'm playing with my head. CD is good. Cd is good. Shout out to Roe man. Shout out to. Roe. So Diego's coach receiver and DB coach. And also there goes coach receiver and DB coach. You're also coach of the Gridiron Gang. What's up? Gridiron Gang? Gridiron Gang black football team female black football team. Pick'em Pro is a proud sponsor of the Gridiron Gang. So much love to y'all. We appreciate y'all being out here. And oh, shout-out to Josh. He lives in Cleveland, he will be at the gang, definitely one of our biggest subscribers. But hey evening he will be at the game Definitely one of our biggest subscribers. While we're giving shout-outs, tavares Jordan, music producer extraordinaire, made the beats for Pick'em Pros.

45:48 He's in the building, man. We appreciate you coming down from the Ville and checking us out. Man with those fly Jordan 2s on. We appreciate that. True to his name, jordan. Okay, all right, let me interrupt you there, man. Anyway, as I was saying, I got the Cowboys CD, got two weeks of practice, that's enough. That's enough. Diego's got the Cowboys. Two weeks of practice. That's enough for CD. Cd don't need that much practice, that's enough. So Dak is going to be ready and I'm confident in the Cowboys. Okay, you're confident in the Cowboys, okay, okay. You're confident in the Cowboys. Dak's going to be ready. Cd only needs two weeks. Now, just because you guys, with your JV football team only have two weeks of practice doesn't mean that it only takes two weeks for the NFL team.

46:33 But that's okay. Well, me and CD were basically the same person, you guys were basically the same person. Yeah, pretty much, okay All right, I got you, I got you. Well, let's hear what Desmond Clark has to say. He clearly agrees with the crowd. He is the Cowboys. Let's hear what he has to say about this, derek. I thought you were someone who speak fluent Cowboy Jerry Jones. What happened, man? So you're picking the Browns over the Cowboys? I don't think that's a bad pick. I don't think that's a bad pick and this is one of my upsets this week Going with the Browns. Hey, that defense is going to be stout and if Deshaun Watson, if he could come back and play close to the level that he was playing when he was down in Houston, then this could be a very good team.

47:17 But I'm going to pick the Dallas Cowboys offense over the defense of the Cleveland Browns. Give me Dallas. I like the fact that you got Cleveland. I'm going to be up even more after that game. All right, you heard it from Desmond Clark, so he has the Dallas Cowboys as you do. So I'm on an island with this game. This game might be the difference, man. They might be the difference, see the Panthers game is making a difference. If they, if lightning strikes, that they win. Yeah, that would definitely be the difference if that happens. But this, this might be here. All right, I've got one more island game. This is the last game that we'll discuss before we talk about college for a little bit, and then we're going to take questions here from the audience.

48:00 So start thinking about it. If you have any questions, you'll have the opportunity to come over here and stand in front of the Pickham pros background and ask a question. So we'll give you that chance here in just a few minutes and we'll close the show out that way. All right, but before we do that, let's get to our last island game here. All right, monday Night Football. We've got the New York Jets traveling to the Bay to play the 49ers. The 49ers are a four-and-a-half-point favorite in this game and I again am taking the upset. I am taking the Jets. Yes, I am J-E-T-S Jets, jets, jets. I've got them going in there. Aaron Rodgers is recovered Is.

48:41 Aaron Rodgers going to make it? Is Aaron Rodgers going to make it? Yes, he will. He's going to come in, fire it up, they'll be ready. He's going to fire that ball to Garrett Wilson. The defense is stout, all right, okay, and they're running back. Come on, they're running back the ESPN, and everybody rated number one. You know he's going to come in. Espn also has your fantasy team ranked like very low. So do you agree with that? No, I don't agree with that. Okay, that's what I thought All right. Anyway, I got the Niners, the Jets. I got the Niners. There we go, the Jets. They got some very overrated players on their team Brees Hall Brees Hall is a very overrated running back.

49:27 Brees Hall is not going to do well this year. All right, garrett Wilson too. He is overrated as well. Aaron Rodgers I haven't seen him play a full season in two years, so I'm just not confident in him. I'm going with the Niners. Okay, just not confident. Okay, well, hey, the Niners went to the Super Bowl and lost again last year, so they are a solid team. They have a lot of pieces, but I see a major, major hangover for the 49ers this year. I think they can at least win this game, but they have enough to win this one. Yeah, they have enough to win a game. I think this is going to show just how much of a disappointing season this is going to be.

50:07 I think they take a big step back this year. I think they're going to take a step back. The Jets could be the surprise pick and actually win the division this year. All right, cool. So let's see, man, we got some funny, funny shots fired in the comments. We love that. Brandon, thanks for all your comments that he'll take Aaron Rodgers over Aaron Rodgers over Bryce Young man, what do you? think about that. I'm going to take Bryce Young over Aaron Rodgers every day. There you go there you go, Brandon. Bryce Young over Aaron Rodgers, all right. Well, hey, we've got one more video from Desmond Clark. Let's hear Des' take on the Jets versus the 49ers and hear what he's got to say there.

50:50 Jesus Christ, have I taught you guys anything? I mean, you know, one year I had to go and be the professor and I thought that I was holding class. So when people look at us they can actually say those guys are pros at picking the games. But, derek, when you pick games like this, I mean I know it's hype around the New York Jets they got a pretty good defense, they got Aaron Rodgers, yeah, blah, blah, blah. But come on picking them over the 49ers, man, you make this look like pick them amateurs. We can't be making picks like that, derrick. We pick them pros, and every pro that is picking this game is picking the 49ers, because we know that the 49ers we're gonna dominate.

51:32 They're gonna dominate the New York Jets. Come on, man, we got to be better than that. Give me the 49ers over the Jets. I'll be up even more after that. All right, that's Dez's take, so he clearly has the 49ers. Thinks I have fallen off my rocker man. Yeah, I think so too. You think so too, all right, well, hey man we're going to see who's celebrating tomorrow night. You probably follow us on IG. You know you're going to see a celebratory, but we'll actually might not be till Monday night. I might not. I might not close it out until Monday night. Off the upset of the Jets You'll see me with my double cup posted and celebrating my win.

52:14 I'll be definitely doing that man. Yeah, got you on that one. All right. So those are our week one picks. Man, we cannot wait. It's going to be so much fun watching the games on Sunday. So before we take the questions here in the audience, let's touch on college football. Is that going on right now? Right now, we've got North Carolina State playing Tennessee. So those of us that are here, we've got pizza, we've got drinks. We're going to check out the rest of that game, hopefully see North Carolina State going to win. Right, we're mixed, we're split, we're split on that one. So we've got that one. We've got Colorado playing Nebraska right now.

52:54 So very eager to see that and see what happens with that game. And we had, let's see Michigan, michigan, the defending champions. So they played Texas today. So, yeah, yeah, that was, that was a rough one, but Michigan is the champion. So you know, I'm sure they're still riding high from that championship. You know, I'm sure they're still riding high from that championship. So there's that. But yeah, man, let's talk about North Carolina State and Tennessee. Real quick. Who you? got tonight. I got NC State winning this one. Whoa, I'm confident in State. I'm confident in their offense. I think they're going to upset Tennessee today. Okay, all right. Hey, I hope you are right. I hope you're right. We're going to check that out and that'll be huge Because, yeah, we will be in the building.

53:38 We will be at Carter-Finley Stadium next week checking out North Carolina State. So, thanks to my man, shannon Cross, his lovely wife we appreciate y'all Thanks for the tickets. We will be in the building, tailgating and all, so we're definitely going to enjoy that, that at all. So we're definitely going to enjoy that. That's going to be a lot of fun. Uh, yeah, man, okay, so we'll see what happens there. What about colorado? What? are they going to do? Well, nebraska's up seven to zero on colorado right now okay it's been about six minutes into 10 minutes into the game, but yeah I got nebraska winning this one um I just think they're the better team in colorado. They seem to struggle against legitimate teams, even even last year. I see that continuing this year. Yeah, I agree with you, man. I love Deion Sanders.

54:19 I really want to see Colorado be successful, but they just don't have the line and whenever they face a team that is halfway decent, they fall and I feel that they'll lose today and then this is going to just start the dissension for the rest of the season. Again, I don't want that to happen, but I just don't see Colorado having a successful season this year, especially with how they looked last week. Yeah, they won, but it was rough. They didn't play a good team. It was rough. It was rough. One final note on college and then we're going to take questions from the crowd here. If there's any. Who is going to win the national championship in college football?

55:02 this year, georgia, georgia's winning national championship. They blew out Clemson last week and I think they're hungry from their loss last year and they're not going to lose a single game this year, undefeated okay, okay, I'm here in alabama in the crowd. I'm here in texas. Well, do I hear michigan, ohio state? Okay, I hear, I hear them all. All right, all right, yeah, man. Hey, I agree with you on this one, diego. Uh, I think um I think georgia I think georgia takes it. I know they're hungry. I mean, my goodness, they won about two and a half years straight and then, you know, happened to lose lost to bama in that sec championship game.

55:47 It didn't get to get into the final four, but I think they are hungry. They are on a mission. Um, I think the only team that can beat them would be Texas. I think that's the only team that could possibly beat them, but it's going to be a battle. I would have to pick that as well, all right? Well, hey, we'll give it a second. If there are any questions of anybody here has a question, come on up to the banner and we'll give you the mic and give you a chance. Otherwise we'll we'll go ahead and sign out. If you have any questions online, we'll take those. Otherwise, we'll go ahead and get into this NC State-Tennessee game for sure, for sure. All right, you do.

56:27 Okay, yes, grab the mic. Okay, so we've got a question from Summer. All right, summer, shout out to you. Thank you. So what would you say to a poor Florida State fan like me, who had their hopes up and they're let down? Who should be my new team? To root for Miami or someone else? Oh, great question, Miami's a good one. They, great question, miami's a good one. They look good, miami's good, I would say Georgia. I don't want to do it, but Florida. State looks so bad. If you want to say Florida, then probably Miami. Probably Miami, yeah.

57:07 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I would do that. Either the Owls you could either be an Owl or you could be a Hurricane Derek. I would not be caught dead doing that, corny. That's right. I know you would never sign with them, I'm not doing it, but yeah, I would definitely go with you. They look strong, they're going to have a great season, and so I know you still have to represent Florida, so, yeah, I would definitely go Miami, okay. Thank you, thank you All right. Well, there are no other questions. Ok, we got one more. We got another question coming up. All right, cuz repping the D. I got to see what jersey this is, because I did not catch that's Hutchinson.

57:51 Oh, rocking the Hutchinson jersey. Repping the D, what up, cuz? In your opinion, what would be the biggest obstacle? Detroit will have that would prevent them from making it this year. Oh, my goodness, I got to answer that you want to go or you want me to you can go. You can go, don't disappoint me. Wow, the biggest obstacle for Detroit Is also the biggest reason that they would win. It's a double edged sword. It's the coach. I love the coach, but again, his over aggressiveness caused you to not get to the Super Bowl and possibly not win the Super Bowl.

58:32 So I'm very curious to see what happens when he's in those situations. I love the aggressiveness, but he has to know he has to be selective with it. So that is one of my concerns. What about you, diego? Yeah, I think the coach that's a valid one, but I think the Eagles, the Eagles are going to be tough with Saquon and the offense. They might make another Super Bowl push.

Davis, the next Stephen, a alright now, by the end of the season. Who do you think is going to be the best receiver in the NFL? I already know who it is you go ahead, so I'm not copying off of you. It's going to be Tyreek. I don't even have to really say much. How about Justin? I? mean a thousand yards in ten games is kind of crazy with an injury Like that's. I still think Justin Jefferson got it, you still think it's JJ Justin. Jefferson yeah, still think, jj, still think it's Justin Jefferson. Yeah, anybody. I heard some CD Lambs in the crowd.
