**Craig Carton** (0:00)
By the way, I'm not sure if I've ever seen this before.
In the current era of football and streaming and all the different platforms that a team can be on, if you take week 18 out of the mix, because we don't know the times, obviously, or who's playing Sunday night, obviously, that week, because it's the last week of the season, if you had to take a guess, have you know the answer, you know, play along anyway, I suppose. Okay, yeah, act like Gallo. All right, here's what you do. How many of the, taking week 18 out of the other 16 games that the New York Jets have this year, how many of those games are at one o'clock?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:45)
Oh, I'm gonna say.

**Craig Carton** (0:48)
So 16 games, because we don't know the last weekend, because those won't be announced till we get there to January.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:54)
Oh, I'm gonna say 13

**Craig Carton** (0:55)
So you think three, four o'clock or later games?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:59)
Yeah, maybe there's like a Thursday night or something like that.

**Craig Carton** (1:01)
Okay, okay. What have I said to you?
The New York Jets do not have a primetime game this year. Yeah.

**Connor Gallagher** (1:12)
That's not shocking.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:13)
They don't get a Thursday night game?

**Craig Carton** (1:15)
No Thursday night game, no Sunday night game, no Monday night game. The New York Jets do not play night time game this season.
How many one o'clock games do the New York Jets play out of the 16 that we currently know the time of the game of kickoff?

**Chris McMonigle** (1:30)
I'm still going to say without knowing the week 18, 13 Because you got to West Coast games, things like that, different time zones.
Maybe it puts you to four o'clock window.

**Craig Carton** (1:39)
Sure. What have I told you? The New York Jets have two quote unquote West Coast games. Then how would you answer the question?
You're cheating over there. I see you cheating. I see your nubbly little fingers typing away.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:56)
You know, I'm going to be stubborn until I'm proven wrong. I'm going to still say it's 13 Maybe go down to 12

**Craig Carton** (2:01)
No, I appreciate that. All right. So what's your final answer? 13?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:04)
13, yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:05)
All right, Gallo. What's your guess?

**Chris McMonigle** (2:07)
Just one o'clock, right?

**Craig Carton** (2:08)
Yes. Out of the 16 games that we currently know the kickoff time for, how many games do the New York Jets play at one o'clock in the afternoon?

**Connor Gallagher** (2:17)
To be fair, I looked up international games. I mean, they have to play.

**Craig Carton** (2:21)
They do not play an international game.

**Connor Gallagher** (2:24)
So while I confirm, I guess 10 because they play the AFC West, I think, this year.

**Craig Carton** (2:29)
Okay. So you're saying...

**Connor Gallagher** (2:31)
They have to play, they play at least 10 one o'clock games.

**Craig Carton** (2:34)
So you think they have 10 one o'clock games, 6, 4, 20 games, whatever it is, right? Whatever it is, right? Okay.
Do either of you want to change your answers? I'll give you one chance to change your answer because that's the right thing to do.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:48)
I'll stay at 13

**Craig Carton** (2:49)
You're staying at 13 You're staying at 10

**Connor Gallagher** (2:52)
No, I'm not now because you got me. This is like the wheel. You got me doubting my answer.

**Craig Carton** (2:56)
By the way, he is showing some intestinal fortitude. He's got a number. He's sticking to his number.

**Connor Gallagher** (3:01)
Well, I want to win. I'm going to go 14 Just so I'll be closer.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:05)
Now I feel even better.

**Connor Gallagher** (3:06)
That's the price is right.

**Craig Carton** (3:08)
Connor, you want to take a guess or not?

**Chris McMonigle** (3:10)
Let's go from 10 to 14 I think I remember they play 16 of 17 at one o'clock. He's a Jeff fan, though.

**Craig Carton** (3:16)
That is not correct.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:17)
No.

**Craig Carton** (3:18)
No. Of the 16 games that we know the Jets have where they schedule connected to it, the New York Jets have 14

**Pete Hoffman** (3:32)
What a cocky.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:35)
Hey, Craig, you want to hold my hand for the rest of the segment to lead them there?

**Pete Hoffman** (3:38)
Oh my God.

**Chris McMonigle** (3:40)
I just got screwed.

**Pete Hoffman** (3:41)
Yeah. Price is right. You got Price is right. Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (3:44)
