If the last round is worth 3 points, then the first two don't count. 🙁
Must win is my favorite segment!
28:45 Savage Coach is undefeated
Coach got robbed, lol
I’m here after Purdy cooked
Crazy how that sometimes works rams are better at everything and purdy is about the 20th best QB at best and yet……..purdy is DESTROYING the rams single handedly, Myles Garrett for all intents and purposes stayed in LA as well and the 9ers are killing the rams while laughing. Can't wait for the excuses tomorrow 😂
It's possible for Sam Darnold to be better than Eli Manning, but not yet.
It's wild at how accurate nicks predictions are almost every week. Until his bias comes into play… Outside of that, he's usually pretty spot on.
Drake threw the game ending int boy wildes gotta be sick😭😭
Funny, Jalen Hurts has 31 wins and a Super Bowl ring in a 2 year span from 23’ and 24’ but I never heard these guys say “what more do you need from a guy” lolololololol
I am legit concerned about Wildes after that performance.. I hope the crew has checked in on him.. I mean that was a total meltdown by Drake in the 4th qtr.. I like Drake Maye too but he just got cooked by Drew Lock. Will someone call Wildes and make sure he is ok
You notice how Wildes NEVER gives Nick a win here?
Got COOKED. BY QB 2 😄
That fly got them boys in the genjutsu lol
Nick was spot tf on. Should have been a 10 point W too if it weren’t for the Cupp illegal shift
Wildes is gonna be furious. 😂
Oh he made a statement alright 😂
Drake Maye needs to start making some Monte Cristos with those sandwich skills he got 😂😂
Classic 1 by Nick
All three of theses guy need to be fired picking Mayes over Hurts!
Drake Maye did have a statement game. Just not the statement Wildes wanted him to make.
he was, in fact, worse. lol
I enjoy sports shows without politics and women
How about 13-10
Drake who?
