Raider Wil (00:01.36)
And welcome back to the Silver and Black Radio Podcast. I'm your host, Raider Will, and I am here with my boy, Matty B. What's going on, baby?

Matty B (00:10.775)
What's up fam, how's everybody doing?

Raider Wil (00:14.32)
Yeah, brother. Good. Yo, on today's episode, guys, what we're going to do, we're going to talk a little bit of our top five teams in the NFL right now as of November 26, 2024. Matty B, I'm going to start with you. What is your top five going from number five down to number one?

Matty B (00:37.485)
Man, so my top five, from number five, I'm going to start with Houston on my number five team. I think they're a great young team. They got a lot of potential. They play hard every single week. You know, they got, they got Tankdale, they got Nico Collins, they got Justin Stroud, CJ Stroud. You know, they got, they got a good core, man. And then Will Anderson on defense, you know, like they're, they got a good solid unit all the way around. They play hard.

Raider Wil (01:01.392)
They're loaded.

Matty B (01:07.054)
I think they can compete with just about anybody in the league. you know, I got Houston or yeah, Houston is my number five. My number four team, they play just like Houston a little bit. Only they're kind of like one of those teams that, you know, one week they could be doing good the next week, they're kind of, you know, and that's that's the Philadelphia Eagles. I think Jalen Hurts is a great quarterback.

I think he has a tremendous future ahead of him. You know, who's their coach again? Is it Stefanski? Sirianni. Okay, yeah, my bad, my bad. So Sirianni, you know, like that dude, he's a good young minded coach, man. I like that guy. So I think they got, you know, if anybody can match Detroit this year, I think it's probably Philly.

Raider Wil (01:45.196)
Sirianni, next Siriana.

Raider Wil (02:03.735)
Woo!

Matty B (02:05.261)
Just just in my opinion, I think the next my next team though at number three Could probably be a team that is

a little bit better than Philly, but I don't think that they could actually match Detroit in this area. But I do give them that slight edge over Philly because I think they're a little bit younger and a little bit more white, like better is the Green Bay Packers. I think, yeah, I think Green Bay is one of those little sneaky teams that are going to be sneaking in there that nobody's really paying attention to. I think,

Raider Wil (02:33.258)
Green Bay at three.

Matty B (02:43.883)
You know, like it was a toss up between Philly and Green Bay at those two positions. But I think Green Bay is one of those sneaky teams, man. Like I think they could actually pull out a win over Philly and be the number two NFC team in this league. And I think Jordan loves pretty good, dude. Like I'm surprised the way they drafted him and had him sit behind Aaron Rodgers for so many years that he didn't want out. You know, he ended up staying and he's, man, he's a good quarterback.

Raider Wil (03:08.208)
Absolutely, man. I'd be like, hey talk about the old-school way of doing football where you sit on the bench you develop and you come in and you be a stud. Hey Love hit all those points, man

Matty B (03:16.403)
Yep. Yep. Exactly. So exactly. So like you said, you you, you hit, you, basically hit it, you know, he developed, he's not like these other quarterbacks who were thrown in there. Like if you were to throw Justin, love in there or Jordan love, sorry, you to throw in Jordan love in there, his first second year, I don't think you would have seen Jordan love the way he is today. I think Jordan love would have been more of like a Geno Smith type of player, you know, bouncing around the league. but I think you're right.

Raider Wil (03:43.672)
Yeah, to continuously travel. Yeah, I got you.

Matty B (03:46.591)
Yeah. I think, I think you're right. I think, I think Jordan love is probably the most well-developed quarterback out of these NSC teams right now. He's got injuries. Okay. So that's my number three team. sorry. Yeah. Three. Yeah. Sorry. I got confused. I had a little bit too much writing on my paper here. All right. So, number two team, I hate to say it, but it's Kansas city chiefs, man.

Raider Wil (03:55.44)
Okay, so.

Raider Wil (04:02.372)
No, no, no, you're right. You're three.

Raider Wil (04:07.558)
Eh... Alright.

Matty B (04:14.898)
You know, the only reason I say that is because they've got the better record out of them. You know, the AFC. Yeah, and they're different in text and in chat.

Raider Wil (04:21.818)
they're the defending champs we cannot hate on that we're Raiders fans but we're realistic bro you're the defending champ you're nine and one

Matty B (04:30.249)
Yep. And there's nobody so far that has been able that I've seen on a week to week basis, even though Kansas City is not fully like that team that's just going to blow you out of the water every time you play them. They're not that team, but they find ways to win. And that's the thing with these other teams is they don't find ways to win. They're not consistent with finding a way to win. So that's.

Raider Wil (04:31.45)
What can we say?

Matty B (04:56.552)
You know, and that's Kansas City. Kansas City has always been like that, you know, and I hate to say it because I'm a Raider fan, but like you said, man, they're the best team out of the out of the AFC right now. So I put them at number two.

Raider Wil (05:08.656)
Okay. And who is your number one team, baby?

Matty B (05:13.808)
My number one team right now in the NFL and I think Super Bowl champions is the Detroit Lions right now.

Raider Wil (05:19.812)
Woooo! Detroit finally getting the championship according to Matty E.

Matty B (05:24.7)
Yeah, I think, I think they come in there, they're pissed off. I mean, dude, Dan Campbell's got this team playing physical, dude. Like Dan Campbell is, I'd love to have that dude as a coach right now, but right now he's coaching the Lions, so, and he's doing a bad ass job with them. I think he's got the team playing for him and he's got the team playing for each other.

And if you look at the NFL, I think he's the most complete team in the NFL when it comes down to. Having your players on board with you, everybody's. In it to win it, you know, they're not half ass in their games, they find a way to win it, even though they, you know, they might get down or whatever, they still find a way to but I think they're the most complete team and I think they're the only team right now that can be.

the Kansas City Chiefs and the Super Bowl. I don't think Philly can do it and I don't think Green Bay can do it.

Raider Wil (06:26.33)
Okay, okay, I got you, man. I mean, like, really can't argue with your list. I have a little bit of differences in mind. I love that you're a little bit different. You have a little bit more diversity. I'm going to start with my number five team, all right? My number five team actually played last night. And I'm going to tell you the Baltimore Ravens, looked good. I mean, I'm not going to deny the hard ball last night was a great game.

It was tight, man. mean, The Baltimore Raven showed me a lot, and I'm going to be honest, man, some of those throws that. We can. What's his name? Their quarterback. Yeah, bro, is that he's making. Well, absolute dimes all over the. You got a dual threat quarterback, you got Derek Henry, you got a really good defense.

Matty B (07:07.856)
Check.

Raider Wil (07:23.63)
And I'm gonna tell you like this out of both Harbov brothers, I would rather have John.

I'd be like, John, in my opinion, is a better coach. He's more refined and he doesn't rub as many feathers wrong. And for some reason, man, those guys can get their players to buy in no matter what. So I see Baltimore as the number five team. mean, like they're they're solid. They're coming into their own and they keep getting better. The number four team on my list, man. I'm looking at the Philadelphia.

Talk about a big swing Hey here a couple weeks ago all you would hear out of Philadelphia was saying hey, man. Let's fire Nick Sarriani He sucks. He's terrible. We can't do shit Bad he got Philly burning it up with Shacon Barkley. What a move. Look at that bad Philly picks up Barkley All these teams Derek Henry

Matty B (08:21.635)
Mm-hmm.

Raider Wil (08:28.698)
gets picked up by the Ravens. You mentioned Green Bay. Josh Jacobs gets picked up. And guess what? All these teams are now playoff teams. Everybody keeps saying you need a quarterback. You need a quarterback. Well, shit, you need a running back too. You need somebody that can tote the rock, that can take off all that pressure off the QB and make shit happen. If you watched last night's game, Derek Henry Stiff

arms two dudes to convert on a third and one running outside zone bro game changer so i see philly with their really potent run game man their dual threats they got the tush push they got aj brown outside and that philly defense is for fucking real

Man, at number three, this is no disrespect, but I got Casey. Casey is that three for me. I'm going to tell you like this, they're nine and one. They're figuring out their their their scheme still. They're struggling. I'd be like, bro, it's just like you said, they have been able to win in tough situations.

Their offense isn't playing up to its potential, which I hope it sucks this Friday as they play our Raiders. You know, I hope we get that, put the spanking on them, but Hey man, they're struggling on offense. Their defense is really good. But again, they're the defending champs. have Patrick Mahomes, they have Andy Reed, they have a coaching staff. They're legit across the board. My number two team is the Buffalo.

bills.

Matty B (10:20.13)
Mmm.

Raider Wil (10:23.098)
Josh Allen is playing out of his mind, bro. And you know that everything in the AFC is going to run through Buffalo.

And Buffalo is cold, cold, cold in the play in the playoffs. I mean, and they can run the football. Josh Allen is a big, strong quarterback with a big, strong arm. I mean, like he's he's two or Big Ben 2.0. With legs. They got a they got a solid defense and McDermott. Defensive coach.

So that's why I see them as the number two team. The number one team is the same as yours, The Detroit Lions. It's like you said, Dan Campbell has these guys playing out of their mind. Plus Ben Johnson's offensive creativity is off the charts. With the physical defense, they are dual threat at running back.

They have two running backs with Gibbs in Montgomery. They're a dual threat at wide receiver. They have a legitimate quarterback with Jared Goff and an offensive line that is just beating the shit out of people at the fucking point of attack.

Offensively, they're a stud. Defensively, they're killers.

Raider Wil (12:02.682)
They got dudes flying around making big time plays and big time situations all around the board right now. The Detroit Lions at this time are the best team in the motherfucking NFL, in my opinion. Now, yo, I think we're both on the same boat. We see. Do you see Detroit running through the NFC or do you see there's some potential?

Let us know guys. Let us know if you guys see a different champ in the AFC. Let us know if you have a different top five out there guys. We want you guys to like, we want you guys to subscribe, we want you guys to let us know what you guys think out there YouTube, Facebook, Instagram. Let us know what you think about our list. Yo, it's Matty B, it's Raider Will, it's the Silver and Black Radio Podcast, and yo.

This was our top five teams. November 26th, 2024. What you got for them, Matty B?

Matty B (13:08.321)
Man, I'm excited not for my team, but to see somebody finally, you know, uproot these champs. you know, like, yeah, we had a couple of differences, which I like, I like, you know, there's a couple of teams in there like Buffalo. like it, but Hey man. hopefully, you know, like you said, we can come back through this, Thursday, get a win or this Friday. I'm sorry. This Friday and get a win. And I hope everybody out there has a

fun and happy and a safe Thanksgiving.
