00:00The Washington Commanders against the New York Giants would be among the top five most used teams.
00:07You wouldn't use a divisional game here, would you?
00:11I know the Giants are done, but that feels really risky to me.
00:15Well, the Giants aren't necessarily done at 3-1, unless I'm mistaken.
00:19I believe they're 3-1, right?
00:21Now, Jameis Winston, forget on the football field.
00:23He's one of my favorite human beings on planet Earth off of the football field, right?
00:28Started to get a little bit of juice.
00:30I do think them signing J.J. McCarthy can be a nice little smelling salt for Jameis Winston there, right?
00:35So if Jaden Daniels plays, that could potentially move the needle for me.
00:40But even last week in London, when Marcus Mariota was in the game,
00:43Commanders looked pretty good early on.
00:45That game ended up being a Colts win 30-13,
00:48but I think that game would have been far closer if Mariota had been in the game.
00:52I understand that the third stringer played decent football,
00:54but I wouldn't go near the Washington Commanders in this spot
00:57against John Harbaugh and company.
00:59No, thank you.
01:01The Houston Texans are 0-4, and they're on the road at Tennessee.
01:06Again, this is a divisional game, so like I would say, don't play this,
01:09but you saw on the screen there that it could be the third option for folks to take Houston.
01:14Do you think Houston is done, or do you think they've got something to say,
01:17even though they are 0-4, that there's some juice left for them
01:21and potentially taking them against a Titans team that we know is done?
01:24So I think there's some juice for Houston in terms of Circa Survivor.
01:28I think they're done as far as the 2026-2027 NFL season.
01:32The AFC is just too loaded, in my opinion.
01:35I just don't think they're going to be able to crack that ceiling.
01:37They were 0-3 last season, did make the postseason,
01:40but that defense looks to be a shell of itself.
01:43It's just not that daunting unit.
01:45And a lot of, well, in Circa Survivor, oftentimes we will map out our path
01:49and look in the future, and we'll look at the holiday slate.
01:52As I'm sure your listeners know, Thanksgiving and Christmas are their own entities.
01:56And I couldn't help but look at that game.
01:57I believe it's a Christmas game where Houston is at Philadelphia.
02:00Philadelphia is not a team that I have believed in.
02:03Pre-season, I was sort of in a mode of wanting to fade Philadelphia.
02:06So that was actually the team I liked the most as I looked at the holiday slate
02:10was Houston, Christmas Day, because they play better as the season goes along.
02:14I will certainly take a peek at them in Circa Survivor this weekend.
02:17Okay.
02:17So...
