We are on fire picking NFL games against the spread.
And it's going to be an awful night weather-wise at MetLife Stadium.
In a related story, I don't care.
Life is too short to bet the under.
My phone started vibrating
and it said Clint Kubiak on it.
And I looked at my teammates and I said,
I have a guess what this might mean.
Does it feel like unfinished business here at all?
I think my whole career has felt like unfinished business.
Yeah, he'll be out there. He'll be starting.
Woke up, physical at 5:45.
Pure energy right now. 7 and 1.
That's a good one.
I would think after Green Bay is a realistic timeline for him.
I still talk to him. I love Mike T.
I have so much appreciation for him bringing me here last year
and the amount of fun that we had together.
We want to see you in white.
Wave those towels and get loud.
Oh, baby, we're going to get loud.
That is the perfect way to start Shine Time.
Those sound bites, the energy, the storylines.
This is going to be a sensational week number 10
in the National Football League.
And it starts tonight at MetLife Stadium,
where it's going to be a whiteout at MetLife
Stadium for the Giants and the Commanders.
A monster clash on Thursday Night Football.
And look, last time these teams played.
It was gross. It was a tie and Cam Scarbrough fumbled
and the Giants had a chance to win
and Dan Quinn couldn't even get the field goal off to win the game.
And it was genuinely gross, as gross as it gets.
But here's what's interesting
when you look at what's at stake for the Giants.
They have the second longest droughts without
a division title in team history.
The longest current droughts, when you look at it,
in the NFC without winning a division.
That's insane.
I'll give you another one here.
The Giants, in their last 14 primetime games, have been the underdog.
Think about that for a second.
Tonight they're favored by two and a half points.
The energy for Giants fans, unbelievable. The team, fantastic.
Even with the weather being atrocious in the metropolitan area,
pouring rain, there is nothing that can curb
the enthusiasm here for the Giants and their amazing fans
who have had to watch awful football for a decade. Just.
Un-aesthetically pleasing football for the last 10 years.
And when the lights are down and the Giants are playing in primetime,
the Giants, I mean, it's hideous.
They're at their worst.
I think Giants are going to destroy Washington tonight,
and I think Cam Scadaboo is going
to be fantastic tonight.
And listen, I was certainly one
of those who destroyed Scadaboo after he fumbled.
I was one of those who agreed with John Harbaugh
when he benched him against New Orleans, and
I was one of those who loved the way Scadaboo bounced back
when he'd take a look at what
he was able to do against the Houston Texans.
Obviously, then they had the bye.
Then he was hurt.
Then he didn't play, obviously,
in the game on Sunday, week number nine,
against the Philadelphia Eagles.
And now I think...
That Cam Scarbrough can take a breath in a great way
in terms of he knows he's the guy for John Harbaugh.
And look, you know, we've got a picture
of him with a selfie, obviously.
It's a, hey, look at me, and let me
do backflips after touchdowns at Fanatics Fest.
And he puts the ball on the ground against Washington.
He can drive Giants fans, football fans,
John Harbaugh, absolutely insane.
No question about that.
I think he also realizes,
especially when the Giants don't make a trade for Jonathan Taylor,
this is everything.
It's a golden opportunity.
It's an opportunity to get 100 yards on the ground tonight,
and I predict that he will,
in terms of matchup, Washington's defense stinks,
weather forecast, not going to want to chuck it around.
I think Cam Singletary is going to have a phenomenal performance tonight
and be really strong for the Giants on the turn of the season.
They need him to win.
Singletary needs to prove that he, at the end of the day,
You know, he's not a guy to be replaced in the offseason.
Heck, I still think the Giants will trade for Jonathan Taylor
in the offseason going into next season in 2027.
They should when the Colts get a new general manager.
So I think that Singletary's playing for a lot down the stretch
of the season now that double digits, you know, week 10 hit.
And I think he's going to be a big part of the solution here tonight
and big picture down the stretch.
I'm not a big Scadaboo guy.
But I love him down the stretch of this season.
I also love J.J. McCarthy.
And while the weather is going to be a factor, listen,
this is J.J. McCarthy's first home start as a Giants quarterback.
And the hip is fine.
As Shakira once said, hips don't lie.
And the injury is going to be okay.
And he's going to come out of that tunnel
tonight with the eye black on.
And he's going to get a hero's welcome.
I mean, you think about it.
His two starts for the Giants have both been on the road.
During the Houston game and the Philadelphia game.
And he's A-okay.
He's off the injury report.
He got knocked out of the Philly game.
Came back in after.
Jameis Winston threw the touchdown to Isaiah Likely.
And I think we are going to see tonight J.J. McCarthy thrive.
I don't think it's going to be one of those games where he has to
or you'll want him to throw it 40 times.
But I think he's going to be dominant.
I think he's going to have, in the rain, zip on the fastball.
I've always been of the belief,
and Phil Simms and I have talked about this for years,
In inclement weather, in rain,
it favors a great quarterback-receiver combo
because you know the routes, the DB doesn't,
and you have the opportunity to make plays on a slick field.
And I think that McCarthy
and neighbors are going to absolutely have their way
with the Washington Commanders and that overmatched Dan Quinn.
And you look at the Giants and what they did burying Philadelphia,
they can bury the Washington Commanders tonight.
Look at the NFC standings.
It's kind of amazing here.
And the Dallas Cowboys are playing
the San Francisco 49ers coming up on Sunday.
So it's not out of the realm of possibility that on Monday,
we are talking about the 6-2-1 Giants
and the 4-6 Cowboys.
And the Eagles are dead and the Commanders are dead.
So this is exciting here if you're a Giants fan.
It's exciting in terms of the opportunity. It's
exciting in terms of the ability to win tonight.
Bury Washington just like you weren't on the road
and bury Philadelphia.
I think the Giants are going to be absolutely motivated by their
incredible fans who've been waiting for this kind
of team in a prime time kind of scenario
where normally under the lights it's been a house
of horrors for the New York football Giants.
Giants fans love the White Outs.
I think this is great.
I think it's great in terms of camaraderie and fun and energy.
I can't wait for this one tonight.
A whiteout is going to equal a lights out.
I think that McCarthy, I think Scadaboo,
I think neighbors come to play.
I think the Giants defense absolutely spanks Jaden Daniels
and this offensive line, which
is ridiculously porous.
Dan Quinn can't coach his way out of a paper bag.
Harbaugh over Quinn any day of the week,
twice on Sunday, and especially on Thursday night.
Giants are going to make a monster statement.
And smack the hell out of the Washington Commanders
at MetLife Stadium tonight.
The phone started vibrating
and it said Clint Kubiak on it.
And I looked at my teammates and I said,
I have a guess what this might mean.
Although he calls on occasion.
So he said, are you in the building?
I said, I am.
He said, why don't you come up?
And my heart started beating a little faster.
And headed up there and talked to Spytek and Clint.
And had a really good conversation.
They were just the pure class that they had been from day one.
Does it feel like unfinished business here at all?
I think my whole career has felt like unfinished business.
I don't know that I would say today is any different than
so many other years
or moments where you feel like you've got something to prove,
you've got something to accomplish, and there's more to go get.
The press conference yesterday in Minnesota from Kirk Cousins was.
Vintage, right out of Central Casting, this sequel.
Kirk Cousins is back in purple and gold, and honestly,
everything just feels right with the world.
And that press conference was tremendous, and Cousins taking
everyone through the X's and O's and how it happened,
and the call from Kubiak, and the meeting with Spytek,
and Kevin O'Connell getting on the phone with him,
saying, we need you, convincing him to do it,
and obviously the Vikings' desperation up the ante.
And now, the Super Bowl dreams are back on.
And that's the point here when it comes to Minnesota.
And most especially, as someone who loves Justin Jefferson,
I am kind of obsessed here what this means for JJ.
Look, the game is gigantic when you look at the Minnesota Vikings
and the Green Bay Packers.
I don't make the rules on who's up next when it comes to the schedule.
Minnesota was 6-0.
Minnesota had the one seed.
Minnesota lost to Detroit.
They could have won that game if they had a decent Kyler Murray.
They didn't.
They lost.
And then Carson Wentz had
the single worst performance you're ever going to see.
This is a monster sporting event coming up at Lambeau Field.
And I know.
On the road, at Lambeau,
and while no one in Minnesota would actually say that Kirk
Cousins is going to be the starting quarterback,
he's going to be the starting quarterback
and Matt LaFleur's comments of, oh yeah,
it's going to be Kirk Cousins, that tells
you all you need to know.
Jordan Love is piping hot, Watson's piping hot,
Golden's piping hot, you need to outscore
the Green Bay Packers at this stage,
they're fresh off of dismantling the New England Patriots
at Foxborough, you need to outscore them if you're going to win.
The Vikings defense is a Super Bowl-caliber defense,
and they beat Green Bay.
First week of the season.
Feels like a lifetime ago.
Now, they need to go to Lambeau Field and win this game.
And that defense is capable of winning every single game they play.
That's, listen, they played well enough to beat Buffalo.
I live for Josh Allen.
He's getting my vote right now for league MVP.
That defense, with Brian Flores and company,
they played great against Buffalo.
They played great against Caleb.
I mean, if you can do that, you can beat anybody in the NFL, right?
You should be able to win this game.
Kirk Cousins.
Being there and the joy
and jubilation that Justin Jefferson must feel, it's off the
chart.
Sometimes stats lie.
Sometimes stats tell you everything you need to know.
Look at this.
Justin Jefferson with Kirk Cousins, seven catches a game.
Without him in his career five.
Look at the receiving yards per game.
99 per game with Kirk Cousins.
Everyone else, the here come
the clowns quarterbacks that Minnesota's had.
75 per game.
But this is my favorite stat.
Because the Vikings need chunk plays, big plays.
Receptions of 20 yards or more.
92 with Cousins.
57 with everyone else.
So, you look at what these guys bring to the table.
You look at their chemistry.
Cousins said, you know, he was fired up to see Jefferson.
It's like old times.
Cousins said his kids are excited to be back,
his wife Julie's excited to be back.
Honestly?
The Vikings are back.
Justin Jefferson is back.
And I expect the Minnesota Vikings,
now that they have Kirk Cousins back in purple and gold,
to go on the road to Lambeau Field and beat the Green Bay Packers.
And I know what kind of task that is.
The Packers are hotter than the absolute sun right now.
They are on fire.
Jordan Love leads the NFL in passing yards.
That defense under Jonathan Gannon.
They've been stunningly impressive and amazing this year.
With all that said,
when the Vikings are able to make big plays on offense
and they have a quarterback,
they are as good or better than anyone in the entire league.
Buckle up, Buttercup.
Kurt Gochains is back.
That means Justin Jefferson is about to be unleashed.
And that means, I think,
the Minnesota Vikings go on the road and beat the Green Bay Packers.
To the Rams now, who keep revolving
their stars on and off the injured list.
Head coach Sean McVay gives us an update
on where we might see Davante Adams back.
How far off is Davante this morning?
I would think after Green Bay
is a realistic timeline for him, but he looks great.
I talked to him the other day, and he's feeling good
and excited whenever that time is to get him back.
Well, this feels like some good news and a big deal,
and Sean McVay even smiled as he was delivering it.
Yeah, and that's also part of the reason why
Sean McVay idle at the trade deadline,
as they should have been, right?
They've already made their move.
Their team's on the floor.
They're ready to go.
It's all about health.
And granted, they're not going to have Davante Adams,
not going to have Puka Nakua for the game
against the Arizona Cardinals,
but there's no excuse.
And the Arizona Cardinals,
who are in last place in the NFC West,
they beat LA in LA earlier this season.
As bad a loss as any team has had all season long.
So, doesn't matter who's in or who's out for Los Angeles.
At least this week, they're playing Arizona.
And remember, Jacoby Brissett is in Baltimore.
Michael Wilson is done for the year.
Gardner Minshew is on IR.
So here's Carson Beck,
starting at quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.
By the way, I think Carson Beck is going to be good.
Not this week.
Not against a salty, angry, Myles Garrett-led defense.
Garrett was phenomenal.
Coming back off the injured list last week in Washington,
Garrett wasn't there
when the Rams had that inexplicable loss to Arizona
a couple of weeks ago at home.
And honestly?
With the Adams news, check the schedule for the Rams.
I think if you're a Rams fan
or if you have a Rams ticket to make the playoffs, win the
NFC, you got to feel better with that news here, right?
If Adams comes back for the Kansas City game.
That changes everything.
So let's say, and McVay said it, right?
You know, it's Arizona.
That's got to be a win.
Bye week.
And let's say, for the sake of fairness,
because I can't rationalize it any other way,
there's going to be no Puka Nacua,
and there's no Davante Adams on the night before Thanksgiving.
Okay.
Adams comes back for Kansas City.
With Adams, let's just take Nakua,
who's phenomenal and fabulous, out of the equation.
With Stafford, with that great offensive line,
with the tight ends, with Kyron Williams,
with Blake Corum, with Myles Garrett,
Aaron Donald, that defense, and Sean McVay is a
fantastic coach.
Can they win with Kansas City, San Francisco,
Dallas, Seattle, Tampa, and Seattle?
Can they win, of those games, five?
The answer is yes.
It's not out of the realm of possibility.
Look, Seattle, we don't know who's playing quarterback.
Let's be crystal clear about that.
Sam Darnold is out for this week.
Sam Darnold has not been great this year.
The line hasn't been great.
Quenton Nelson's now hurt.
So Seattle's kind of going through it,
too, in terms of the injury bug.
Kansas City just made a great deal for Josh Downs.
Is Kansas City a great team?
Absolutely not.
Dallas obviously has a lot of firepower.
Their defense is deplorable.
Do I think Matthew Stafford, even if Nakua is out for that game,
can win that game the week before Christmas?
Absolutely.
Why not?
Can they win against Tampa?
Why not?
Can they take the season series against Seattle?
Why not?
So this is actually, I think, monster news.
And you have to, at this stage, for the sake of fairness,
assume they lose against the Green Bay Packers.
That would be disrespectful to Green Bay to say anything else.
But if Adams is back for the Kansas City game,
But absolutely, Los Angeles can make the playoff.
Now, the Packers game is going to scare me and loom large here
because that's a wheel-stop-spinning game.
When the wheel stops spinning after 17 games, 18 weeks,
you look at tiebreakers and head-to-heads number one.
So that would make me nervous.
But if you're a Rams fan
and you've had a lot of highs and lows this week,
the high of beating Washington, Garrett's unbelievable,
the Rams are back, Nakua's out, he's going to miss at least four weeks.
All of a sudden, he's the best player
on the team this year without question,
one of the best weapons in the league.
That's a disaster.
Can they find ways to win down the stretch
of the season if Davante Adams is back?
They run the ball with authority.
They still have a Hall of Famer, an MVP, a quarterback.
Offensive line is great.
Miles Garrett, as long as he's healthy, can take over games.
This qualifies as inspiring news here
for the L.A. Rams down the stretch of the season.
The Niners lost one of their top wideouts to injury in Mike Evans,
so they go out and they get Keenan Allen at the deadline,
who is running on pure adrenaline,
heading into his first starts with San Francisco.
I was in the facility, at the Colts facility,
I was talking to Shane, came out of the office,
he brought me in, I just traded you to the 49ers,
go home, packed right away, got me
on a flight at 6.30, got out here last night at 11.30,
got to the hotel about 12.15, woke
up, physicals at 5.45, I'm running on pure energy right now, 7-1.
The same one.
Look at that smile from Keenan Allen.
Pure energy, baby.
Look, this was not the signature headline move of the trade deadline,
but that soundbite, this trade from John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan,
that's everything.
Keenan Allen just got a second lease on life.
He goes from the Indianapolis Colts to the 7-1,
brilliantly coached San Francisco 49ers.
And Allen knows.
Nobody better to play for than Kyle Shanahan
in terms of drawing up plays.
He also knows there's no one better
at delivering the mail than Brock Purdy.
Keenan Allen, like so many other players on the San Francisco 49ers,
great career, great stats, a lot of Pro Bowls,
reaching, searching, wanting desperately to finally win a championship.
Look at this.
The combined Pro Bowl selections on offense.
What you're getting with Keenan Allen is a guy
who, when he was with the Chargers,
was the best. Like the best wide receiver in Charger franchise history.
I've always made the case the most underrated player on offense
in the NFL at the receiver position of the last 15 years.
I mean, that's the most amount of Pro Bowls for an offense
at one time in the history of the National Football League.
Keenan Allen is going to make a difference.
I'm just telling you that right now.
And you look at what San Francisco did at the deadline.
We're counting the DeForest Buckner deal because that was before
the trade deadline. And then bam, Keenan Allen on
Deadline day? That was amazing.
I think that Keenan Allen, right guy, right time, right attitude,
willing blocker, great teammates, great guy, everything about him,
screams, perfect fit for the San Francisco 49ers.
I am obsessed with this trade and the impact that Keenan Allen
is going to make immediately going up against
that porous defense of the Dallas Cowboys.
The first place Pittsburgh Steelers will
be on display in primetime on Sunday night
to take on the Bengals.
And Mike Tomlin is going to be in attendance for NBC.
Here's our guy Aaron Rodgers with his take on Mike Tomlin
trading in his playbook for makeup.
He's also going to be there with the NBC crew.
What's it going to be like to see him again,
and what's your relationship with him kind
of been like since he stepped away?
I still talk to him.
I love Mike T.
I have so much appreciation for him bringing me here last year
and the amount of fun that we had together,
the closeness of the bond that we formed.
So it'll be good to see him.
I'm not surprised in the least.
He is absolutely killing it on TV.
The few times I've seen him.
Thank you.
Nobody can talk football better than Mike T.
So it is an absolute mess.
I am so amped
for this game.
I'm so amped for that storyline with Mike Tomlin
being there with Football Night in America for NBC.
And honestly, everyone wins in that transaction.
Tomlin is phenomenal on television.
Like, mesmerizing. Sensational on NBC.
And the Steelers are better without him.
Mike McCarthy is a better coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Mike McCarthy is putting this team in position to win a playoff game,
something that the Tomlin Steelers didn't
do since the calendar year of January 2016
when they beat Alex Smith and the Kansas City Chiefs.
And I think the Steelers have every element you want in a team
that can not only win a playoff game, make a run.
I think they are, right now, midway point of the season,
third best team, third most likely team to win the AFC.
I love their run game. The line is strong.
Love their running backs. Warren's had a terrific year.
My guy Aaron Rodgers, final year of his majestic,
legendary Hall of Fame career, having a great season.
Mike McCarthy's a fabulous coach. The tight ends are great.
The defense with T.J. Watt and company playing at a championship level.
And while the receivers aren't great, it really hasn't been a problem.
Which leads us to the matchup on Sunday night.
Because when you look at the strength here for the Cincinnati Bengals,
obviously Cincinnati's ability to score.
It's unreal.
And the passing attack, and Joe Burrow is on fire,
and Jamar Chase is on fire, and T. Higgins is on fire.
That is the best big three right now, bar none, in the NFL.
Burrow, Chase, and Higgins.
And I've had so many conversations
with Aaron Rodgers through the years,
and not every quarterback admits this.
Josh Allen will admit this.
When you are facing someone like Joe Burrow,
When you're facing Burrow, Chase, and Higgins,
it's not the cliche stock answer of, well,
I'm not facing the quarterback, I'm facing the opposition's defense.
Nonsense.
And Rodgers knows that.
So they need to make sure that they have those long-sustained...
Touchdown scoring drive.
Long sustained, control the clock,
keep Joe Burrow and company on the sideline.
Not that the Steelers' defense couldn't make plays against them.
Not that T.J. Watt and company couldn't get to Burrow
because they could overmatch
and overwhelm that beatable Cincinnati offensive line.
But you want to make sure that you have long, sustained drives
just to minimize the opportunities
that they're going to be on the field.
Now, let's be frank here.
Obviously, Burrow doesn't need much time to just throw
a bomb to Jamar Chase or find Tee Higgins,
and Higgins is on a heater.
Heck, Gesicki at the tight end position has been a touchdown machine.
I think the games this Sunday in the NFL, phenomenal.
So many great games, so many great stories.
This is my personal favorite.
I am obsessed with the Steelers and the Bengals.
I love both these teams.
I said before the season started, since he wins the division,
Pittsburgh finishes second, both make the playoffs.
I can't wait for this contest.
It is juicy.
It is sizzling.
And I think right now heading in, the better team, Aaron Rodgers
and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
They're not checking Draymond, so Draymond wisely just uses the screen.
He sees how far Parsons goes back.
Steph makes the three, but immediately looks a little frustrated.
As we go to go to break, he went right to Steve Kerr,
essentially to tell him what happened,
but he was heading right back toward the locker room.
Before that shot we just showed you.
That looked bad in moments, and Shams Charania today,
our friend from ESPN, he is reporting
that it's an abdominal injury,
and they're going to reevaluate Steph in a couple of weeks.
The key word is reevaluate.
I don't think we're going to see Curry anytime soon, and this sucks.
Because I love Steph.
I think he's a top 10 NBA player of all time.
Greatest three point shooter of all time.
I've been absolutely loving the shots, the adrenaline.
We raved about how he's even had a little bit of an attitude.
You could tell he winced and he knew it.
He went to Steve Kerr.
I mean, that is the face of agony and that head shake.
I'm watching the game last night.
You knew he knew that this was a big deal.
And, you know, all the Warriors were doing, winning.
And then to see this.
Just sucks.
And obviously, you know,
the actual London board can, you know,
certainly put the ball in the hole.
And, you know, they still have a Hall of Fame,
Coach, they still have Draymond Green.
But this changes everything.
And I'll tell you, if you're a Warriors fan
or if you're a basketball fan like me,
the league is better, sports better,
when Steph Curry's playing.
I always cite this,
but when I interviewed Mark Messier
a couple of years ago,
he said the best winner in sports, Steph Curry.
Bar none, no hesitation, end of story.
And I was glad he said it that way because I
don't think Steph always gets that kind of credit
because he played with Clay Thompson,
he played with Draymond Green, he played for Steve Kerr.
Listen, even when he was on Team USA,
he was as important or better than everyone else for Team USA.
So, it's not great.
And the Warriors, historically,
they're kind of like the Yankees when it comes to how they handle.
Injuries and how brilliantly conservative they are
when it comes to making sure a player's okay.
And even the way they handle the press with this information,
we're going to reevaluate in a couple weeks.
Not great. Not what you want.
My heart sank the second I saw it.
I felt queasy because you knew that Steph knew,
and that's not good for the Warriors, for Curry,
or for anyone who likes basketball or sports.
Staying out west, the Lakers continue to win.
And their superstar continues to shine.
By the way, Vinny's up here also.
Wouldn't be a game without Vinny hanging out with us.
In a football booth, hitting it, Dodgers, timeout, Milwaukee.
At seven in a row, how about our guy Luka Doncic?
You know, I read all of your tweets.
I read all the posts on Instagram.
I read all the comments on YouTube.
I read everything you said
when I said Luka is going to dominate this year, be the MVP.
Lakers will be better than last year.
Lakers will be better without LeBron.
James will be great with Philadelphia.
Sixers will be great.
But you told me I didn't know what the hell I was talking about.
Maybe I do, and maybe this was the easiest prediction
in the history of Shine Time.
Look at the numbers again for Doncic.
Look at what Mamou did.
Look at what AR did last night.
They've won seven in a row, and this right here, you know what this is?
This is an off game for Luka Doncic.
I mean, I get it.
The Bucks are a G League team.
I understand it.
But you know what?
The difference is, in prior years, you know what would happen?
The Lakers would go on the road in an awkward spot,
and they would kind of sleepwalk through
a game, and bam, they would lose.
Not now. Not this year. Not with this squad.
The L.A. Lakers are absolutely legit.
Back to the East Coast, where the Knicks
and Cavs battled at MSG last night.
And the Cavs are going to get the victory.
Mobley with the rebound.
Best win of the young season for these Cavaliers.
Up 10 in the fourth, they blew the lead,
but responded with big plays at both ends of the floor.
I hate the Cavs. I hate James Harden.
I hate that result last night.
Remember the last time the Cavs were at Madison Square Garden?
Kenny Atkinson was saying analytically we won those games.
Analytically, I was pissed watching last night.
James Harden, 32 points.
Best win, as the great Mike Breen said right there,
of the season for the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Obviously, they're still pissed about blowing that 22-point lead
in the fourth quarter of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
At least we'll always have Nixon 5.
By the way, if I may, Mikal Bridges is awful.
And I have been wrong on Bridges for this year,
and the trade was always brilliant, and it worked,
and I don't want to hear from any dopey Nets fans,
your team stinks, your team's irrelevant,
what did you do with those draft picks,
and was Bridges worth the five?
I don't know, I don't care, it doesn't matter.
In year two, he helped the Knicks win a championship,
so he was worth every single draft pick,
and he is going to be a legend for the Knicks,
and remembered for Knicks in five forever.
Next sentence.
Mikal Bridges can't hit water from out
of a boat, and I'm stunned by it.
I thought the pressure would be less on Bridges because he won,
the Knicks won, Leon Rose won.
I mean, Mike Brown is really just limiting his minutes.
The shooting percentage is in the tank.
The point total is in the toilet, and this is officially a thing.
If his contract was tradable,
I actually think he would be gone by the trade deadline.
Because he'll always be entrenched,
and you don't have to worry about Jalen Brunson and the Nova Knicks
because they just won a championship.
But I don't think you're going
to see Mikal Bridges playing major minutes for this basketball team
if it doesn't get better any time soon.
Mikal, I love you.
Knicks in five forever.
Next sentence.
This is dreadful.
Oh, wait, there's more.
Shine Lines, baby!
We are on fire picking NFL games against the spread.
You realize the Giants are favored tonight, which is a big deal,
because they have been dogs in their last 14,
last 14 games on the lights in primetime.
The over-under tonight is 40 and a half.
Remember, the last time these two teams got together,
it was a tie, 27-27.
I was never good at math.
But that's significantly higher than 40 and a half.
Now, it's raining.
I'm not Mr. G.
But I can tell you that oftentimes football doesn't produce
a lot of points in the rain.
And it's going to be an awful night weather-wise at MetLife Stadium.
In a related story, I don't care.
Life is too short to bet the under.
For the sake of Shine Lines and what we do every single week,
the bet and the play is going
to be the Giants laying the two and a half.
Will I also endorse the over in this football game, 40 and a half?
Yes.
Yes, I will.
That's a show.
If you miss any portion of the show, do what I do.
Rewatch the show over and over and over again.
Because I love me, and you love me, and I love you.
A lot of love.
