Kyle Busch and Winnipeg Shorts Guy on NFL Week 12 and Grey Cup Stakes
The Week 12 preview is here and the energy is high as the NFL enters the home stretch. Big Cat and PFT opened the show by reacting to the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Texans and Colts, specifically the electric connection between Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins. The conversation quickly shifted to the chaos surrounding the Miles Garrett and Mason Rudolph incident, with the guys offering a unique perspective on the league's disciplinary decisions.
Big CatThe NFL is actually punishing the Steelers by not suspending Mason Rudolph
I actually think that the punishment for the Steelers is not punishing Mason... the league punished the Steelers by not suspending Mason Rudolph. Exactly. Yes. Duck [Hodges] [is] okay.
With a massive weekend of games on deck, Big Cat is feeling more confident than ever about his primary picks. He's narrowed down a three-team parlay that he insists is a lock, mostly because he refuses to believe the favorites can possibly stumble in these specific spots.
Big CatThe Saints, Steelers, and Patriots all winning is a can't-lose parlay
There's no chance the Saints lose at home to the Panthers... The Steelers are not going to lose to the Bengals because Mason Rudolph has never lost a game after he's been accused of saying something racist... and the Patriots will beat the Cowboys because all you got to know about the Patriots Cowboys game is Jason Garrett verse Bill Belichick.
As the picks continued, PFT looked at the marquee matchup between the Cowboys and Patriots. While most are debating the coaching mismatch between Bill Belichick and Jason Garrett, PFT is looking strictly at the broadcast booth for his gambling edge.
PFT CommenterAlways bet the over when Joe Buck is calling the game
I'll tie this right into our picks for the weekend. It makes me have to take the over in the Cowboys Patriots game... Joe Buck is I'm pretty sure is going to be announcing it... you always bet the over when Buck's calling.
Not everyone was following the chalk, however. PFT is eyeing a massive upset in Cleveland, while Hank went all-in on a certain AFC East team that he believes is ready to smoke the Broncos at home.
PFT CommenterThe Dolphins moneyline against the Browns is the underdog pick of the week
My favorite is... this is going to be my lock... I'm going back on the train [with the] Dolphins as the underdog take them on the money line as well.
HankThe Bills -4 against the Broncos is a thermite accelerant flaming lock of the week
This one's going to be my thermite accelerant flaming lock of the week. So this is a big fucking fire. It's the Buffalo fucking bills -4 at home against the Broncos.
Big Cat also used the preview to air his grievances with the Green Bay Packers. Despite their record, he remains steadfast in his belief that the team is built on a foundation of lies and soft defense, setting himself up for his usual cycle of Midwestern sports grief.
Big CatThe Packers are frauds and their defense is a fraud
I convinced myself the Packers are frauds every single week until they win the Super Bowl and then I cry in a puddle... I think their defense is a fraud.
Big CatThe Seahawks +1 against the Eagles is the walkiest line of the year
I'll take the Seahawks plus 1. Russell Wilson is an underdog 23:7 and one against the spread in his career. It's this is the walkie east line of the year.
Two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Busch joined the show in-studio to celebrate his recent title and settle some scores. The interview touched on why he’s one of the most polarizing figures in the sport and his genuine love for fantasy football. The highlight of the segment was an impromptu phone call to his rival, Joey "Slowgano" Logano, to attempt to bury the hatchet. It went about as well as you’d expect, ending with Logano keeping Big Cat blocked on Twitter. Despite the friction on the track, Busch is looking at a very long future in the driver's seat.
I have at least 10 years of racing left in my career
[I have] probably 10 [years left]. I'm 34... I would like to think I got a few more years left in me and definitely a few more Championships.
I will win at least four more NASCAR championships
[I'll win] four more. That would be sweet. Yeah four more would be getting six times [total].
Closing out the guest list was one of the most incredible stories in sports fandom: Chris Matthew, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers fan who hasn't worn pants since 2001. After 18 years of wearing shorts through brutal Canadian winters on a bet that his team would win the Grey Cup, Chris is finally on the verge of putting on trousers as the Blue Bombers head into the finals.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will win the Grey Cup by four points
I'm going to say that the bombers are going to win by Four Points.
The show wrapped up with a look at Ben Simmons finally hitting a three-pointer and a very painful Fyre Fest of the Week from Big Cat involving a mysterious side ailment and some four-legged stretching. If the Blue Bombers win this weekend, let's just hope Chris Matthew's legs remember how to exist inside denim.
