Craig Carton (0:00)

Carton Show, Big Mac, great to have you here. Got a football game tonight, by the way, you had a foul action. For some reason, the Atlanta Falcons played three consecutive primetime games, and they're one of the worst teams in all of football. No doubt. And let that sink in, the New York Jets only have one four o'clock game this year, and no primetime games. And by the way, I understand why. Expectations that they were gonna stink.

The Atlanta Falcons have the same expectations, and they do stink. Three consecutive. Now, I think the one in week five, so this is week three, so the third of the three, that can be flexed, and at 100% is going to be flexed out. That's the first week, I believe, that they can flex out a primetime game.

I think it starts week five. So the Atlanta Falcons play tonight against the Green Bay Packers in Green Bay. Just out of curiosity, what are the Packers favored by that game?

Chris McMonigle (1:01)

Four and a half.

Craig Carton (1:02)

Got it. And you guys have picks at six o'clock as usual? Yes. Yes, we do. All right. And just real quick, update on the records for everybody. You're in first place. What's your record?

Chris McMonigle (1:10)

Now I'm eight and three after losing the giant game.

Craig Carton (1:15)

Eight and three.

Chris McMonigle (1:16)

Oh, I know. All right. Only excellent.

Craig Carton (1:19)

Only excellent is right. Seventy-two percent. What do you got, Petey? What's your record? I believe I'm four and seven.

Chris McMonigle (1:26)

Not great.

Craig Carton (1:27)

And Anthony, what's your record?

Chris McMonigle (1:29)

I'm seven and four.

Craig Carton (1:30)

Good. Actually, you're only a game off the lead. Petey, you had an entire season to catch them, buddy. Don't use sweat it.

SPEAKER_3 (1:35)

Do we want to go and review my fantasy picks with-

Chris McMonigle (1:38)

No, no, we don't do fantasy on the show.

Craig Carton (1:39)

You know that.

We did. We did a draft. Nobody cares about your fantasy team, Billy. I've told you that many, many times. So we don't talk about fantasy here.

Chris McMonigle (1:47)

He's very excited though because they had the fantasy draft and he took James Winston for his quarterback.

Craig Carton (1:51)

So again, great pick. Nobody cares about your fantasy team.

Chris McMonigle (1:56)

And we mocked him for it.

Craig Carton (1:57)

Yeah, but why don't you tell me that off the air so we can do a whole thing around it? Well, I just remembered right now because I was so bad at the fix.

Chris McMonigle (2:03)

No one cares about your fantasy team, Billy.

Craig Carton (2:06)

We still have to go golfing, imaginary golfing, right? Yes, that's on.

Chris McMonigle (2:09)

No, nobody cares about fantasy though.

Craig Carton (2:11)

That's 100% on.

SPEAKER_3 (2:12)

Nobody cares about fantasy.

Chris McMonigle (2:14)

Sounds like Gallow's losing.

Craig Carton (2:15)

All of a sudden, everybody thought Petey was going to be imaginary golfing. Remember when they quit and ride the bike? Yeah, yeah, I do.

Now you have to learn how to ride a bike and go imaginary golfing.

Chris McMonigle (2:26)

You had Jaxson Dart? You were here.

SPEAKER_3 (2:29)

Oh, you were here. I wasn't here that day.

Craig Carton (2:31)

Yeah, I had Dart and Malik Nevers. He took Dart Nevers. Pete shocked the board by not taking Geno Smith and taking James Winston. And yet you're not gloating. I would have come in on Monday. Oh, that's right. You took the day off.

Had you been here Monday, that was a gloating day for you. Tuesday morning.

SPEAKER_3 (2:50)

Too busy jaywalking.

Craig Carton (2:51)

Yeah, too busy jaywalking in LA.

I just told the guys we might be going out to LA for the Super Bowl. And Pete was excited because he can jaywalk freely there. Very excited about that.

Chris McMonigle (3:01)

That's very exciting news.

Craig Carton (3:03)

Not to be in the sun in February, but because he can jaywalk legally.

SPEAKER_3 (3:07)

It was surreal. You're walking across the street.

Craig Carton (3:09)

You can jaywalk in New York City.

Chris McMonigle (3:11)

But not legally.

Craig Carton (3:12)

That's the thing. They have signs saying you can go and jaywalk. No one's ever gotten a ticket for jaywalking in Times Square, buddy. Come on now, time to time now for the Silvox Game of the Week brought to you by Silvox Outdoor TVs, where big moments are better outside. The Game of the Week.

Chris McMonigle (3:30)

Game of the Week.

Craig Carton (3:31)

Yeah. New York Giants against the Tennessee Titans in the storm of the century. Can the New York Giants find a way to beat the lowly Tennessee Titans with James Winston at the helm? And is anybody going to be in the building to see it happen? Because I think you're going to have a half empty building. And I don't blame either.
