welcome back to CBS Sports HQ where we’re gearing up for a crucial contest tonight on Monday Night Football to wrap up week 14 of the NFL schedule the Dallas Cowboys host the Cincinnati Bengals 8:15 kickoff from AT&T Stadium both teams barely alive in this playoff hunt let’s get into it as we welcome you back to our CBS Sports HQ Studios I’m Jordan Georgio alongside Jacqueline di Austina we got Mike rener and Le juell in the house as well guys Dallas has picked up backtack wins over division foes and the commanders and the Giant Cincy on a three-game losing streak Dallas still alive barely breathing mathematically they’re still in this NFC playoff race but do they hold on Mike no no we talked about like the Dolphins last even less about the Dallas Cowboys they just they’re so far back too you know three games back in the in the divisional or to get to a wild card spot and yeah they beat the commanders but like that seemed pretty fluky at the time Bengals tonight I just don’t think Mark over there from L I will say this and Pete prisco said this last week he was like they’re still in and I’m like they have no chance the way this Cowboys team is played out all right you have to put as streak because they didn’t play the Giants last week right but the commander win was a really good win I think when you break down this team right they’ve been injured more than anybody right Dak Prescott is out but Michael Parson since he’s come back this defense is look like a totally different defense also Duron Bland coming back and you know this Mike when you have a new defensive coordinator and Mike Zimmer it takes a while for everybody to mesh well and build that continuity de Mario overon has played like a pro bowl player at the linebacker position just what a freakish athletic play last week to tip the ball up to himself and get an interception I think this defense will keep them interesting down the stretch like I think this is going to be a real interesting game because and we’ll talk about the Bengals later but when you look at them when they’ve had to play really good defenses they’ve kind of struggled when you look at that Eagles game you look at Pittsburgh last week and I know the score won’t be indicative of you know it being a close game because it was 41-24 with late in the fourth quarter and the Bengal end up scoring twice in their last two drives but that was a butt whipping by the Pittsburgh Steelers so this Cowboys defense I think will keep them interesting and I really love how they’ve used Rico do the last two weeks right when you look at the commander game 19 carries look at last week 22 carries he’s averaged over four and a half yards per carry he’s actually provided some juice and it’s it finally feels right that they’re using him as a true number one back because he is their best back that they have yeah Dak Prescott getting hurt make M McCarthy actually have to scheme up a run game you know actually try to run the football because before that they weren’t even trying um let’s talk more about Mike McCarthy because of course he has been on the hot seat the warm seat I don’t know whatever you want to call it it’s interesting now because now that they’ve rattled off two straight winds we’re kind of thinking like is he gonna be back is he not Micah Parsons who we just spoke about saying that he wants Mike McCarthy to be back which is all great and dandy but um leay H how much does their success down the stretch here depend or I guess his job depend on that because at first we’re like you know sounding the alarms it’s time to go but now that they’re kind of looks you know coming into form maybe he stays question mark I don’t know well Mike knows I was one of the biggest Mike McCarthy fans I thought it was asinine that people were saying he was coaching for his job this year when you look at before this season three straight Seasons 36 wins only one coach had more wins that in the regular season that was dig red that’s Andy Reid the best coach in in the NFL so you’re telling me you have a guy that consistently wins you games and you’re talking about moving on just remember the grass isn’t always greener on the other side the reason why the Cowboys are struggling this year it’s not M McCarthy’s fault it’s Jerry Jones’s fault because he decided to pay his two highest profile players late which means they got more money because they gained more leverage which means you couldn’t bring other pieces in to help fill out this roster and now we’re seeing the issues with it with Dak Prescott going down now they don’t have the subsequent Talent on the roster to make a run now they’ played really well these last two weeks and we’ll see them tonight versus a very explosive Bengals offense but I think it’s crazy that they’re talking about Mike McCarthy not being back when Dak Prescott signed that deal Mike McCarthy should have been signing that deal because the grass isn’t always greener on the other side let’s not forget what they had before Mike McCarthy got there it was playoff out of playoffs playoff out of playoffs three straight years in the playoffs with Mike McCarthy as head coach yeah I do think though he will not be the coach at the end of the season even whatever Mikel Parson says because what else is he gonna say at this point I want him fired I don’t think that’s going to be the case so I do think he might on this podcast he said some crazy stuff on him fck uh but I will say that I just don’t think it’s been good enough if you’re a Dallas Cowboys fan and and when you can get with that brand you could get a bill bich you can get a m you can get the top-of-the-line guy you Bill bich that is not you’re not going to win games I can’t imagine Bill and Jerry Jones that exactly that’s not going to mess and then it’s just like Bill Bell’s coaching style isn’t conducive to the current NFL state which again this is another conversation with the UNC thing I don’t if you get are not relatable to NFL guys how are you going to be relatable to college guys and this not me throwing stones at bill bich but Jerry Jones and Bill bich would never work I I completely agree with that what a world that would be okay let’s get to the Bengals now uh we mentioned off the top three game losing streak they’re 40 on the season not how we expected this season to go for the Bengals in this uh when we discuss in the off season what went wrong with Cincinnati this year Mike they drafted bad players for like three straight drafts ever since Jamar Chase in 2021 their drafts have been almost zeros and especially on the defensive side of the ball because that’s where they’ve been focused because you go back to the Super Bowl year they had so much that defense was built via free agency and I think a lot of great defenses built via free agency are not built to last you know the 2016 Jaguars found that out the hard way when you pay a lot of money up front you’re going to have to pay on the back end too and eventually that cap space runs out and so they’re running into that problem where they’re trying to back fill with a bunch of young guys who just aren’t good players Unfortunately they did not draft well since then and that’s how you get the worst or one of the worst defenses in the NFL a lot of guys mismatch for L anuma scheme their identification of talent versus what they want for that scheme just hasn’t been good enough and that’s how you get one of the best offense in the NFL sitting here at 4 and8 yeah without a doubt Defense number one is the reason why they’ve been abysmal this year and I think it’s always interesting how the goalpost gets moved for defensive coaches when their offense isn’t playing well but yet for offensive coaches when the defense isn’t playing well they don’t they’re not under the same fire right um Mike you hit on it right they’ve been really bad in the draft especially on along the defensive line as far as their draft picks the last few years they really haven’t developed and been become really good starters and then when you talk about it even in free agency they’ve missed right Gino Stone was a guy that led the Ravens in interceptions last year he’s been a shell of himself Von Bell hasn’t been as good either cam Taylor Britt which was actually a really good draft pick he’s regressed mightily this year so like they’ve really struggled on the defensive side and another issue that they have is with the ownership right I’m g go ahead and say this when you have Frontline foundational pieces you pay them right what they’re doing with Jamar Chase is Criminal and now it’s gonna cost him even more because he leads the league in receiving yard so he’s gonna want even a bigger buy Trey Hendrickson this was the best player on your defense and you decided not to give him an extension what does he go out and do he leads the league in sacks right now matter of fact he has 51% of their sex which is ridiculous number which means he’s the only guy on that defense that anybody respects right if you stop Trey Hendrickson you’re going to have a lot of success on that Bengals defense so when you talk about how they’ve struggled in the draft right their defense has struggled as well they’ve also missed in free agency and they haven’t taken care of their own homegrown players that’s why they’re in this mess right now yeah when your three best players outside of Joe T Higgins Jamar Chase Trey Hendrickson all want new contracts and you’re saying I don’t want to give them to you how do you show up to work every single day in that locker room and come with a happy face and give your best if you’re those guys and lead from the top you just aren’t going to be able to cuz you’re not happy to be there day in and day out and I think that’s how you see the bottom falling out in the Bengals the way it has so you guys are both on the same page that that the reason this is happening is because how they’ve drafted the past three years right now heading into tonight’s game Monday Night Football they hold the 10th overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft what do you want to see them do with it I mean it depends if T Higgins is gone they’re probably going to need a playmaker on the outside but they got to they have to get a Blue Chip player on defense and me and Mike had this conversation yesterday I don’t know after Abdul Carter if they’re going to have to be able to be have a chance to pick a blue chip player right even like a guy like Mason Graham most likely will be gone by the number 10 pick so they got to get a blue trip player whether it’s on the outside to go with Jamar Chase on the defensive line to get after the quarterback yeah dl’s the one strength of this draft if there is one that’s where I’d go if I were them you know the Bengals organization they’ve always been very conservative when it comes to money let’s get a game pick uh Bengals 5 and a half Point Road favorites which is kind of crazy that I’m saying that but that is the reality Li what is the pick I’m going with the Cowboys to cover now I know everything points in the opposite direction the Cowboys have been abysmal at home I believe they’re one and five and that one win was versus the Giants and they’re 0 and four as underdogs but I love how this defense has played the last few weeks I think they keep this game close give me the Cowboys plus five and a half and give me the backles I think the Cowboys defense smoking mirrors the past few weeks I think no one stopping this Bangles all right quickly we got to get a same game parlay um you’re our first leg Le you’re up I’m going to go Rico doto anytime touchdown when you look at this Bengals defense we just kind of smeared it and talked about it right they’ve given up a wrestling touchdown to the starting uh running back in four straight weeks give me Rico anytime touchdown I’m going to go with the over very simple but the Bengals only the Ravens have gone over in more games this season that’s because they played more games this season give the over all right I like Jamar Chase um with the yards tonight but I’m going with a t Higgins anytime okay I’m going to go Joe burrow over his passing yards 270 and a half whether they win or lose he throws a lot so I’m going to go with that let’s look at our same game parlay the odds plus 647 I mean pretty good value in my opinion oh yeah tens anytime touchdown burrow overs passing yards we go dle anytime touchdown and Mike is going with the over plus 647 on FanDuel and FanDuel by the way your go-to for all NFL action because right now all customers get a profit boost for every NFL game day plus new customers give at $5 get 150
