Jerry O'Connell on Jets, Fantasy Strategy, and Week 13 NFL Picks
Thursday Night Football was a grim reminder for Hank that the glory days in New England are officially over. The Bills didn't just win; they toyed with the Patriots in a way that made it feel like Josh Allen was playing a different sport. While Hank tried to find a silver lining in the Patriots' top-10 defense, PFT was ready to eulogize the dynasty once and for all.
PFT CommenterThe Patriots are dead and face a multi-year decline
Patriots are dead. Yeah, it's, it's like madlibs. Like are they, are they dead this, this year or is this like a, this feels like it's a multi-year thing going on.
Big Cat pointed out that the Patriots' offensive coaching staff—led by Matt Patricia and Joe Judge—is actively sabotaging Mac Jones. It’s reached the point where even PFT is looking for solutions that involve former New England staples returning to the sideline to save the offense.
PFT CommenterBill O'Brien will be a great fit for the Patriots as offensive coordinator next season
They're probably gonna get Bill O'Brien cuz he wants to come back to the NFL. He wants to leave Alabama. So I actually think that'd be, that'd be a great fit. Bring him back to New England.
On the other side of the ball, Josh Allen looked like he was playing Madden on rookie mode. Hank, usually the last to admit greatness in anyone wearing a different jersey, finally surrendered to the reality that Allen is in a league of his own right now.
HankJosh Allen is by far the best quarterback in the NFL
Tonight it was like watching, you know, the Patriots struggle and then Josh Allen's the best about Oh, your by far. He's like watching him is watching like the old Patriots where he makes every throw, he makes every play right. They look unstoppable.
Kyler Murray and the Baseball Problem
The conversation shifted to the dumpster fire in Arizona, where Patrick Peterson and Kyler Murray are trading shots on social media. Big Cat has a theory that Kyler’s lack of leadership stems from his roots on the diamond rather than the gridiron.
Big CatKyler Murray's biggest problem is that he is fundamentally a baseball player
Not to be Colin Coward here, but I feel like Kyle and Murray's biggest problem is he's a baseball player. Baseball players, they care about themselves. They have individual accolades. Football is a team sport. Kyle Murray's a baseball player.
This led to a wider discussion about the most hated quarterbacks in the league, with Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray leading the pack. Between Wilson's bizarre birthday party attendance numbers and Kyler's Twitch habits, the guys are finding it hard to root for the league's highest-paid signal callers.
Week 13 Picks and the Mike White Hype
Billy Football is back in the studio and he’s fully bought into the Mike White experience. After a dominant performance against the Bears, Billy is setting the bar at an astronomical level for the Jets' new QB1.
Billy FootballMike White's ceiling is Tom Brady
So I like Mike. His ceiling is Tom Brady. I said this when he got his ceiling is Tom Brady.
PFT isn't quite as sold on the Mike White hype train, but he’s still feeling bold about the Sunday slate. He’s putting his reputation on the line with a Lions pick that suggests Dan Campbell is about to hunt some Jaguars.
PFT CommenterThe Lions will destroy the Jaguars in Week 13
Give the lions minus three. Whoa. I The lions minus three. I'm putting 'em on the table right now. It's not gonna happen. Love that outta the lines are gonna destroy him.
Big Cat, meanwhile, is looking for "double revenge" in the biggest game of the weekend. He’s backing Patrick Mahomes to finally solve the Bengals' puzzle after two painful losses last season.
Big CatThe Chiefs will have a 'double revenge' game and beat the Bengals
The Kansas City Chiefs double revenge minus two double revenge spot. Double revenge means something. The chiefs are going for double revenge. Last year they lost in the regular season and AFC championship game. I think this is the best the chiefs are going to look all season. Is this weekend on Sunday?
Jerry O'Connell’s Fantasy Masterclass
Friend of the program Jerry O'Connell joined the show from his home gym—specifically the Smith machine—to check in on the PMT fantasy team. Jerry is currently managing the team into the playoffs, but he’s wary of the Jets' sudden success. As a lifelong Jets fan, he knows the other shoe is always waiting to drop, especially with Mike White.
Jerry O'ConnellMike White has a four-interception game coming soon
The only thing I'm worried about was that four pick game last season. It's like, you know, that's there somewhere. You know what I'm saying? You know, it's almost like herpes, you know... You know there's a four pick game coming up with Mike White. We just hope it's not the weekend.
Jerry also shared his unique gambling philosophy, which involves avoiding parlays at all costs and sticking to the "Right Horse" method. Before he left, he delivered a touching, yet deeply personal, poem for Hank that touched on everything from the Patriots' mediocrity to Hank’s inability to hit a single number on the lottery ball machine.
To wrap up the show, the guys got into a Liver King-inspired segment of Fantasy Primals and shared their Fyre Fests of the week, including Hank being compared to Grandpa Joe from Willy Wonka and PFT’s accidental 36-hour bachelor party trip to Panama.
At least the lottery ball machine remains consistent: Hank still hasn't won.
