00:00You know, we make the picks every week, EB's taking the lead now because he had Philly
00:05and I picked, I mean he had Washington and I picked Philly.
00:12So I'm almost inclined, I know he's going to pick the Commanders this week, but I don't
00:17think I can go against my heart, you know, I've been thinking about this all week.
00:20I think it's going to be a close game.
00:22I was impressed by what Penix did in game one from everything that we saw, you know,
00:27the interception wasn't his fault.
00:29It looked like he's really strong on the intermediate passes, and definitely it's a worry what the
00:37receivers are going to do against his secondary.
00:40Not that Lattimore played great, but I don't expect Lattimore to play, so that means more
00:44Benjamin St. Joost and Noah Eyee and those guys, and they've struggled all season, although
00:49statistically against the pass they're pretty good because the teams like to run against
00:52them.
00:53It's definitely a tough matchup for the defense, and the defense gave up 33 points last week.
01:00So I don't have great confidence in the defense.
01:03I like that Jonathan Allen's coming back, but man, it's hard not to have confidence
01:07in the Commander's offense based on what you saw against the number one defense in the
01:11league.
01:12When you look at the Falcons defense, mediocre, right?
01:15That's what they are.
01:16Got a couple of nice pieces in the secondary.
01:17So I think Washington at home should be able to get the offense churning again.
01:22I think they're going to try and pound the football.
01:24Look, Brian Robinson coming off the two fumble game, the running game outside of Jaden Daniels
01:31hasn't been that good of late, but I like Washington to win this game.
01:36Let's go 28 to 20.
01:39Yeah, there's I mean, Penix is just an unknown.
01:43We just don't know what to expect from him.
01:46Yeah, he was solid to even very good, but that was against the Giants drew lock through
01:52a couple of pick sixes.
01:53So the defense kind of did the work for him and held the Giants to seven points.
01:58So he didn't have to do much in that game.
01:59I think B. John Robinson is going to be a factor in this game.
02:02I certainly do.
02:03I mean, similar to a Saquon Barkley, very elusive, strong, strong down low, tough to
02:08bring down and catch the ball to the backfield.
02:11Yeah.
02:12So I think he's going to be a factor.
02:13And I do think that Lattimore being out if he is out in the secondary will hurt them
02:16because I think that the Falcons will take advantage of St. Just if he's playing out
02:23there a lot.
02:24So I think that the Falcons will score some points.
02:26The Penix thing is just an unknown.
02:28It's a coin flip.
02:29But I think that the fact that Jaden Daniels at home has been so good, they've been a really
02:34good home team.
02:35I think they're aren't they five and two or six and two at home, six and two at home,
02:39six and two at home.
02:40So they've been a really good home team.
02:42So there's certainly a home field advantage.
02:44It's a Sunday night game.
02:45There won't be many Falcons fans there.
02:47The place will be crazy.
02:48The weather's going to be pretty warm for December for late December.
02:52So that won't be a factor.
02:53And I think Brian Robinson is going to play a lot better.
02:56He's not going to fumble.
02:57He's not going to fumble twice.
02:58So I think that it could be a higher scoring game.
03:02So I'll take the commanders 31 25.
03:07And so that would be a cover.
03:09But I think that Washington wins this and gets to the playoffs if they don't win this
03:12game and they have to go to Dallas and win in week 18.
03:18That's going to be very interesting.
03:19But I don't think that's going to be the case.
03:20800-636-1067.
03:21I want to hear from commanders fans.
03:24What's your vibe going into this game on Sunday night?
03:27Are you nervous?
03:28If you look at the ESPN matchup predictor, we usually like to check that out.
03:34ESPN analytics, 60.2% chance that they win the game.
03:38So 60 40 is not bad.
03:41I mean, it's not a huge number, but.
03:43And you look at the numbers, they're favored by four and a half.
03:46I also would like to throw out to the callers.
03:49Are you worried?
03:50Now it's a very small percentage.
03:53Are you worried that Washington could lose both of these last two games and then Atlanta
03:59obviously wins this week and wins next week and then Tampa wins both games and then they'd
04:04miss the playoffs.
04:05Are you worried about that at all?
04:07You got to be a true pessimist to be thinking that I know the percentages are small.
04:12There's probably more people at the grasping scenario of the division winning out, getting
04:17to 12 wins, the Eagles losing out and somehow claiming the NFC East division, which is a
04:23grasper.
04:24Yeah.
04:25They need to have a buy.
04:26Well, no, you wouldn't have a bi-week, but you'd be the two seat.
04:29That would be a smaller percentage to me because I don't think the Eagles are going to lose
04:32the giants.
04:33Even if they played picket, I don't care.
04:36I just know on social media, there are a lot of graspers out there.
04:38Okay.
04:39800-636-1067.
04:40I want to hear from commanders fans.
04:43Play the music Valdez.
04:44It is a football Friday here on the fan Sunday night game.
04:50All eyeballs will be on this game.
04:52Jay Daniels coming off the five touchdown game.
04:54Yeah, I can't see them losing.
04:55It's got to Arlington.
04:56Al, you're on with the junkies.
04:57What's up?
04:58Morning gentlemen.
04:59How are we doing?
05:00Hey, what's up, man?
05:01Thanks for calling.
05:02You got it guys.
05:03Listen, bottom line is all this praise for panics.
05:04You kidding me?
05:05The giants had given up on their coaches.
05:06They didn't give anything about being out there.
05:07So that's, that's a big part of it.
05:08It's a big part of it.

10:53It's a big part of it.
10:54It's a big part of it.
10:55It's a big part of it.
10:56It's a big part of it.
10:57It's a big part of it.
10:58It's a big part of it.
10:59It's a big part of it.
11:00It's a big part of it.
11:01It's a big part of it.
11:02It's a big part of it.
11:03It's a big part of it.
11:04It's a big part of it.
11:05It's a big part of it.
11:07Mark, you're on with the Junkies.
11:08What's up?
11:09Hey.
11:10Hey, guys.
11:11The sun is out today.
11:12Thank God.
11:13It's depressing.
11:14So, I look at intangibles.
11:16I mean, if they win, they're in.
11:19And I think DQ will get them up for that.
11:23And they have enough talent and leadership on that team that they'll end up winning the
11:29game.
11:30And my question is, is Panic a mutter?
11:33It's going to be sloppy on Sunday in the grass.
11:36Yeah, it's supposed to.
11:37Probably the bigger question is, is Bijon a mutter?
11:40Yeah, I think Bijon's going to be a factor.
11:42I think they're going to give him the ball a bunch.
11:44But that's a good question because, yeah, it's supposed to rain, so it might be a little
11:47sloppy.
11:48You're right.
11:49But it's going to be warmer.
11:50It's going to be in the mid-60s.
11:53I'm not going to the game anymore.
11:55Had I gone, I'd have been inside anyway.
11:58But, yeah, we'll see if that's a factor.
12:01I don't know that it is a factor for this team.
12:05I'm curious to see if Jonathan Allen plays.
12:09If he starts, if he plays like 15 snaps, how it works.
12:13I do think it could be a big addition.
12:16Now, they weren't playing good rush defense with John Allen in there.
12:20And that's been a weakness all season long.
12:22Now they played good in the second half, really for almost three quarters against Barkley
12:27after he ripped off the long one.
12:28But that also was a situation where all of a sudden, pickets in the game.
12:32You don't have to worry about Jalen Hurts running.
12:34And the game plan, you could see it.
12:36And they talked about it on the broadcast.
12:37They changed the way that they were playing defense and really honed in on Saquon.
12:41I don't know if they're going to be able to do that in this game.
12:44Maybe that's the approach they start with.
12:46But if Pennix starts picking them apart a little bit, I'm impressed with Pennix.
12:50Again, I haven't watched a ton of him.
12:52But with the intermediate passing men, the guy zips it in on a down and out, 15 yards
12:56down the field.
12:57He's got a really strong arm.
12:58He's got a hose.
13:01It'll also be interesting to see what kind of factor he is in getting out of the pocket
13:06and running, if he can get out there and scoot.
13:08I haven't seen as much of that.
13:09Yeah, I haven't seen that either, but it's a possibility.
