I don't think a 20 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: lot of teams now that I look at and don't 21 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: at least have a feel for them. I mean, I 22 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: think one of the harder teams for me to get 23 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: my arms around is the Arizona Cardinals. Yesterday, I thought 24 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: they would be really tough on San Francisco and they were, 25 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,560 Speaker 1: but I thought they would be really tough at home 26 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: against Washington and we're not competitive Arizona to me, and 27 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: I think this is a lot of Kyler Murray's personality. Boy, 28 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: they can be really tough, beat themselves, inconsistent, but man, 29 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: Arizona week to week can be really tough. Buffalo has 30 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: a little bit of that feel where I just I'm 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: not quite sure what I'm getting a lot of it 32 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: depends on who's healthy and who's not Buffalo in Arizona, 33 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: and I think Buffalo is a better team, better organization 34 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: top to bottom. Those two teams, I kind of sit 35 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: and watch. I get a feel for him. By the 36 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: end of the first quarter, What am I gonna get? 37 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: Josh Allen wasn't his day. You could sense it didn't 38 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: have a slot receiver, was off, it was on the road, 39 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: got banged up later. Buffalo, I think it's the best team. 40 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: I picked them to win their division. In fact, in 41 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: the AFC right now, I had Buffalo, Kansas City, Houston 42 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: and Baltimore winning their division. So I'm right there. Atlanta 43 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: is good. Denver's the surprise team. I think we got 44 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: that right. Washington I thought would be one of the 45 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: surprise teams. I have no feel for the NFC West 46 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: at all. I think the Rams are injury plagued. San 47 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: Francisco's peaked. Seattle's got a good roster, but it's Gino Smith. 48 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: I think Arizona week to week can be just a 49 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: scintillating team, had a chance to win it. Buffalo gave 50 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: them fits early beat San Francisco. I just they're one 51 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: of the few teams I don't I can't track. I'm 52 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: not sure. But I also think we talked about this 53 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: a few years ago. There was a very good quarterback 54 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: class that had Jalen Hurts and Joe Burrow and Herbert 55 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: and Tuey. They hit in a lot of guys. I 56 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: think this quarterback class, Caleb and Jayden, Daniels and bow 57 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: Nicks all look like they can play. Now. New England's 58 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: offensive line is so bad and they're so inept offensively. 59 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: Do you play Drake May do you not? I'm okay 60 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: with either. I don't have a strong feeling. Michael Pennix 61 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: I think will be good. But it does look like 62 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: bo Jaden Daniels and Kayla Williams can play. That's three hits, 63 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: and I think Pennix will eventually. He may not play 64 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: until next year. He may not play for two years, 65 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 1: but I think he can play if he stays healthy. 66 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: And JJ McCarthy across your fingers, if he can beat 67 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: out Sam Darnold. But the more of these guys that hit, 68 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: the better football is. Because you're watching New Orleans tonight. 69 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: I mean, Kansas City made that game watchable. How's Miami 70 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: without Tua? It's hard to watch. Seattle has all that talent. 71 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: They're a tough watch depending on the weekend. You know, 72 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: Gino Smith is now oh and five. I went and 73 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: looked it up tonight. Owen five officially against San Francisco. 74 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: He never plays particularly well. No, he didn't have a 75 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: run game tonight, whereas Brock Purty did have a run game. 76 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: But he's been sacked fifteen times, four touchdowns, five picks, 77 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: mid eighties passer writing against San Francisco. And that's a 78 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: real deal. Is that you know you can? I mean 79 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: it's okay if Lamar Jackson loses to Kansas City. Everybody's 80 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: losing to Kansas City and Mahomes and Andy Reid. But 81 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: you gotta beat those divisional foes. Brady owned the AFC East, 82 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: Big Ben for years owned Cincinnati and Cleveland, and Gino 83 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: just doesn't play well against his rivals. So right now 84 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: you have Brock perties better than Geno. Kyler Murray's better 85 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,559 Speaker 1: than Geno, and Matt Stafford in divisions, better than Geno Smith. 86 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: Seattle's got the fourth best quarterback in division. Listen the 87 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: Darnold story, the Baker story, the Geno story of redemption. 88 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: I love, but Sam and Baker better than Gino. He's 89 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: number three on that list. So I thought Seattle should 90 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: have taken a quarterback in last year's draft. I would 91 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: have got after Michael Pennock's local kid and had his 92 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, Coach Grubb, who's now the OC of the Seahawks. 93 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: But Atlanta gets him. So and I also think they 94 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: have to consider moving Maybe a DK metcalf, I just 95 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. It doesn't I thought al Michaels hit 96 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,559 Speaker 1: on it tonight, or maybe it was kirkirb Street. DK 97 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: sometimes doesn't feel engaged catching the ball with his body. 98 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,679 Speaker 1: I just I just you get the occasional slash plays, 99 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: but I just don't feel like he's always engaged. And 100 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes players just get tired of teams and environments, 101 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: and I don't know. There's a lot of receivers on 102 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: an annual basis from college to pro. I think DK 103 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: is a really good player, explosive. Somebody would be interested. 104 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: But that just feels like you could move off it 105 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 1: and garner a good draft pick, and that draft pick 106 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: you could use to move up because Seattle's gonna win 107 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: some games this year. As soon as their defensive line 108 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: gets healthy, they're gonna win some games. They won't be 109 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: a top seven or eight drafting team. So if you 110 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: have to move up, you have to give up, you know, 111 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: a couple of seconds, a couple of thirds, whatever you 112 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: got to do to move up. But I think Seattle 113 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: needs to go get a quarterback. You cannot have the 114 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: fourth best quarterback in the division right now. Gino again tonight, 115 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: a couple of picks thirty to fifty one. He's a 116 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: better story than he has. A quarterback. Donald this year 117 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: is a great story, and so it's Baker, but they're 118 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: also a really good quarterbacks. Currently, last two weeks, Seattle's 119 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: been dominated time of possession, So you know when you 120 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: fall into these big holes. They already were competitive, even 121 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: though I had it tied at ten against the Giants. 122 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: If you watch the game, they were dominated. Their offense 123 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: was rarely on the field. Tonight, again you're losing time 124 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: of possession. And some of that's just the defense with 125 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: Mike McDonald, they're all banged up, they can't make stops. 126 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: But you can talk yourself into a lot of different things. 127 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: You've got to have the first or second best quarterback 128 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: in your division right now. In the AFC, who leads 129 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: the AFC East, the best quarterback in the division, Josh Allen, 130 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson leads the AFC North. He's playing the best 131 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: in the division, C J. Stroud and Patrick Malmes, Okay 132 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: and Kirk Cousins. You know, he's over there in the 133 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: NFC South, best quarterback in that division. So yep, I 134 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: think Seattle has to have a big offseason. I like 135 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: John Snyder or the GM. I think he's sharp. He 136 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: and Pete Carroll didn't see eye to eye and it 137 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: was a little bit of a power struggle near the end, 138 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: but go get a quarterback. Got accumulate some draft picks. 139 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: Take a big swing on this. I think it's a 140 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: better quarterback college draft than we thought six months ago. 141 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: You know, you start watching these kids play, they all improve. 142 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: I'd make the move. I'm not a huge fan of 143 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: the Robert Solid firing because I think what happens is 144 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: that you end up with an interim coach and everybody 145 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: plays inspired football for the interim coach, and you kind 146 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: of get stuck because the players all like him. A 147 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: lot of times you get stuck higher in the interim coach. 148 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: But I was texting a couple of coaches, one former 149 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: coach and another coach tonight, and last year there was 150 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: one really good job available because of the quarterback the Chargers, 151 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: and Justin Herbert and Jim Harbaal the number one candidates, 152 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: swooped it up. This is going to be a rare 153 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: year when Philly, Dallas, Jacksonville, Chicago and Cincinnati potentially can 154 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: all have coaching openings. Now, Chicago's playing well, and I 155 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: think eber Flus at least knows his side of the ball, 156 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: Matt Eberflus, but you could potentially have Jalen Hurts, Dak, 157 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, Kleb Williams, or Joe Burrow available. So this 158 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: is one of those years for the New York Jets. 159 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers forty, hasn't really been a great quarterback in 160 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: his last twenty starts prickly, kind of expensive, you know, 161 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: the Jets. By firing Sala, not only do you get 162 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: into that interim head coach dilemma where the players love 163 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: the interim head coach and play inspired football, and you 164 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: kind of lose the locker room potentially if you don't 165 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: hire him, because he's a guys guys now fas a 166 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: former player, he's well, very well liked according to all 167 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,959 Speaker 1: the people in New York and the media, very well liked. 168 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: So but also this is going to be the Jets 169 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: are not going to be the first choice. I mean, 170 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: Philadelphia has got a better quarterback in Jalen Hurts. I'd 171 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: take him over Aaron today. He's younger and in his prime. 172 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: It's a better roster, better ownership. I mean, I think 173 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: Dallas has a better quarterback in Dak and a better owner. 174 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: You know, Chicago and Jacksonville. I mean, I get Caleb 175 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: Williams on a rookie contract in Cincinnati again Burrow or 176 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers at forty one years old. And don't forget Buffalo, 177 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I like Sean McDermott, but that has been 178 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: a noisy coaching staff. Game management again this year is 179 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: a topic of conversation. Keep your eye on the Buffalo 180 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: bill opening. So and if the Giants, I think this 181 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: would be a catas strophic mistake if they moved off 182 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: Brian Dable, Buffalo, in my opinion, would swoop him up 183 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: in five minutes. I don't think the Giants are going 184 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: to make that mistake. But add Buffalo, that's the best 185 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: job available, good roster, solid GM, non chaotic ownership, Josh Allen, 186 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: those jobs just don't open up. That's like Matt Lafleur 187 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: in Green Bay job where Aaron was closer to his prime. 188 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: Those jobs just don't become available. So if the Jets 189 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: are Jets want to get into a sweepstakes for the 190 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: best coach, they may end up with a fourth or 191 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: fifth best choice. Look at these quarterbacks that could need coaches. Hurts, 192 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: Alan Burrow, Caleb Dak Aaron is way way past his 193 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: prime and continues to be a little in my opinion, subversive. 194 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: He says one thing to the media, Well, you're not buying, right, 195 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: You're not buying that Woody Johnson phone call. They were 196 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: just wishing each other an early happy Thanksgiving. Right, you 197 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: don't buy it. I don't buy it. Nobody buys that. 198 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: So I was talking to a coach tonight and he said, 199 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: it's a good year to be looking for a job. 200 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: So that's the dilemma when you sort of bum rush 201 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: Robert sala is that the top candidates look at that, 202 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: and this top candidate, somebody that I think will be 203 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: available for a job. They kind of look at how 204 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: you treated the last guy, and the last guy was 205 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: actually pretty good at his side of the ball, Robert 206 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: sala So that's always the dilemma. You keep seeing the 207 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: same teams in the top ten in the draft, and 208 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: we always blame coaches and quarterbacks, but so often it's 209 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: really it's the guys upstairs. I remember years ago, I 210 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: was with a friend. I was watching the Phoenix Sun 211 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls finals, Barkley against Jordan, and I was talking 212 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 1: to a friend of mine. She was a women's really 213 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: good women's basketball player, and we were talking about Jordan, 214 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: and Jordan was six ' six, wasn't the best shooter 215 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: or ball handler as a guard in the NBA, but 216 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: he just made things look so easy. And that's what 217 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: great players do. Uh. I mean, you watch Shohey Otani 218 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: and it just everything looks kind of easy, and you 219 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: never see them strained. Watching Derek Carr struggle mightily, just 220 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: just everything seems hard. Troy Aikman at one point was 221 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: being very kind as he underthrew another deep ball, saying, well, 222 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: he threw it as far as he could. Everything with 223 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes is just it's kind of it's effortless. You know, 224 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: mechanics are solid, you would think watching him, but he's 225 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: a little loose because Aaron Rodgers can be a little loose. 226 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: He's really not. His mechanics are excellent. He's always got 227 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: his feet and his hips right. It's just it's just easy, 228 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: and that's part of when you're watching a college athlete. 229 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: Shaduur Sanders has this at Colorado where he's effortlessly accurate. 230 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: He can be moving left, right, forward, back, just any 231 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: any platform. Shador Sanders is just it's easy movements, easy accuracies. Easy. 232 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: I mean to me, Quinn viewers. Now Texas has been 233 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: hurt a couple of times. That worries me. Carson Beck 234 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: cam Ward's good but small. You know, you watch Shudr 235 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: Sanders and you're like, it's just, you know, he just 236 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 1: moves and throws without great effort. And that's what Mahomes does. 237 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: And it was a great contrast to watch Mahomes effortlessly 238 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: and Derek Carr straining on anything that was more than 239 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: ten yards. For Derek Carr seemed like it was hard. 240 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: The roller coaster of an NFL seasons moving right along, 241 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: and it promises to be a month full of tricks, treats, 242 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: and of course, touchdowns and Draftking sports Book and Officials, 243 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,959 Speaker 1: ord's betting partner of the NFL, is the number one 244 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: place to always bet touchdowns, running it in from the 245 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: one or an eighty yard bomb.

All right, let's talk Chicago 271 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: Bears thirty six Carolina Panthers ten. It's an early window game. 272 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: So Caleb Williams again every week, looks a little more secure. 273 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: Twenty at twenty nine, three hundred yards, a couple of tds. 274 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: They jumped out to a twenty seven to seven league. 275 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: Swift had a couple of really nice runs. The run 276 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: game was okay, but Swift does give you, he gives 277 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: you pop. He'll hit on a couple of big runs, 278 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: and so you have to be honest. DJ Moore again, 279 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: revenge game. And my take watching Caleb is and I 280 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: said this before the season, I said, I don't know 281 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: if they'll win more than seven games, which is what 282 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: Justin Fields won, because I do believe Minnesota, Detroit and 283 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: Green Bay the division's better young team's all good. But 284 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: I said, you'll feel better about the seven wins. And 285 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: I think today because Carolina was playing pretty damn good football. 286 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: Two things today. Once again, we have to give Matt 287 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: Eberflu some credit. He does. He knows what he's doing 288 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: on his side of the ball. Secondly, this team was 289 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: playing well Carolina, and I thought, I think they I 290 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: think I was thinking about this when you have somebody 291 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: that's limited. BONNICKX has some limitations. It makes it easier 292 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: on Sean Payton. When you have Caleb and you have 293 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: fewer limitations, it may take you several weeks to figure out, Okay, 294 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: what am I comfortable with? What am I not comfortable with? Now? 295 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, who's Washington ZOCI has had several players like 296 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, so they got some tree in camp. Yeah, 297 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: but you're looking at Waldron. You know, you're at his career. 298 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: He never had anything like Caleb, So it feels like 299 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: it's just taken the Bears coordinator and staff. Okay, we're 300 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: not gonna do this. We're gonna do this. But I 301 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: thought I thought Caleb. I looked around today and I'm like, okay. 302 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: I mean one time he was running around. It was 303 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: almost comical. It looked like a high school thing, and 304 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: he didn't get anything out of it. But if I 305 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: was a Bears fan today and they only went seven, 306 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: I feel like I have a franchise quarterback. 307 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: Yeah to me, you see moments like today. If they 308 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 3: can get him more consistent throwing the ball down the field, 309 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 3: they're gonna be a lot more competitive because when you 310 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 3: have a really good defense, you're gonna be in games. 311 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 3: I just pulled out their schedule because I was thinking, like, 312 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 3: they haven't played any three teams in their division. They 313 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 3: play them all late in the season, Yeah, the Vikings, 314 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 3: the Packers. 315 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: They don't play the Packers till week eleven. Yeah. 316 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 3: And so you could argue an alliance. You could say, well, 317 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 3: it's gonna be a really tough stretch. But they also 318 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 3: could ben because think how much experience he gets to have, 319 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 3: you know, kind of under his belt, you know, up 320 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 3: to like Thanksgiving or whenever they start playing. They also 321 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 3: play the Niners in there. 322 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: Like if their. 323 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 3: Offense can hit and he can be explosive down the 324 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 3: field and they can run the ball like that, they 325 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 3: could be a competitive, frisky team that competes in the 326 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 3: wild card. If they had no chance early on with 327 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 3: him overthrowing and not having much confidence in their passing game. 328 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 3: But if they can run the ball and he can 329 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 3: add the explosive play element. Because their defense is when 330 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 3: the dust settles. If they stay healthy, they're gonna be 331 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 3: a top five ish defense in the NFL. And when 332 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 3: you have a great defense, you see this with the 333 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 3: Broncos you see this obviously with the Bears, like your 334 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 3: quarterback doesn't have to have a great game like that's 335 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 3: they could carry you, and all of a sudden, it's 336 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 3: you know, ten ten in the fourth quarter. You just 337 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 3: have to make a player or two. That's always The 338 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 3: Niners got away with a lot of that over the year, 339 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 3: especially with Jimmy Garoppolo. Well they were just being a 340 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 3: thirteen to ten game. Then one big run you win 341 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 3: twenty ten. Right when your defense like today with the 342 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 3: Bengals and the Ravens, both those teams, I would imagine 343 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 3: on Monday. 344 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: We should never go to overtime. 345 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 3: When we score thirty eight points, we should win the 346 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 3: game by seventeen points when the clock hits double zero. 347 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: That was a wildly entertaining game, but that was defense. 348 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 3: That was insane. But the Bears don't play like that. 349 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 3: They can rush the pass or they're stout up front 350 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 3: and they get their dbs are really good. I was 351 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 3: texted with a coach who played them early in the season, 352 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 3: an assistant coach. He's like, their defensive backs are good. 353 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 3: So if you have good defensive backs in twenty twenty four, 354 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 3: that's that's the Broncos they have really good defensive backs. Well, 355 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 3: half the teams are obsessed with passing. And watch the Packers, 356 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 3: what do they want to throw the ball? Obviously the 357 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 3: Vikings want to throw the ball. We know the Lions 358 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 3: like throwing the ball. So if you can you know, 359 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 3: defend the pass with DBS and you have a good 360 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 3: pass rush, you're gonna be a serious, serious problem. And 361 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 3: to me, Caleb, you know, perties kind of was doing 362 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 3: this today that hero ball. Yeah, sometimes it's just a 363 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 3: couple of steps, get the rid of the ball and 364 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 3: if nothing's there, just thrown out of bounce. You know, 365 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 3: not everything has to be Lamar can get away with it. 366 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 3: But some of these guys that start doing the three sixties, 367 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 3: I mean that used to be a Russell Wilson thing. 368 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 3: And I think players, you know, on the offensive line 369 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 3: have been like, just get rid of the ball, right, 370 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 3: what are we doing? Because every sweet play you hit, 371 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 3: three or four of them screw up and you get 372 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 3: sacked or you maybe throw a pick or so. I yeah, 373 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 3: I think the Bears the Panthers kind of came back 374 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 3: to Earth today. Yeah, but part of that was the 375 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 3: Bears defense. So I yeah, nice little win. 376 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,239 Speaker 1: So the New York Giants controlled the Seahawks all day, 377 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: even when it was ten to ten, and they go 378 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: on to beat Seattle twenty nine to twenty blocking a 379 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: kick up in the Pacific Northwest. So this was this 380 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: is the one game I've lost so far. But as 381 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: we do this, I thought Seattle, no Molaitue Neighbors, Singletary 382 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: was banged up. But I will tell you when you 383 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,919 Speaker 1: watch the Giants, they're old lines and d lines. They've 384 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: committed to those in the draft and in acquisitions. I 385 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,120 Speaker 1: mean Daniel Jones twenty three to thirty four, two touchdowns, 386 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: two fifty seven. He rushed eleven times or carried eleven times. James, 387 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: I thought that is as good as Dan and that's 388 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: without elite neighbors. John, Like, I watched that today and 389 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm not surprised by much Bandy beating Bama. You know, 390 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: USC losing, Yeah, yeah, USC losing the way they did 391 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: the Giants that was twenty nine to twenty. It it 392 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: felt like they were the better team. And you've got 393 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: to give this team credit. They have an offensive coach 394 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: on like the Jets. Their defensive line is excellent. When 395 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: I watched the Giants, I think they're well coached. I 396 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: think they're limited. But Daniel Jones, he moves, he's big, 397 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 1: he's healthy. Now, what did you make of that win? 398 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 3: It's something Oh yeah, well, let's just acknowledge this. You 399 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 3: remove week one when they played Minnesota and got embarrassed. 400 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 3: Dan Jones been pretty good this season, he really has. 401 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 3: He's made a lot of plays. I mean, he made 402 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 3: a bunch of plays against Washington in the game when 403 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 3: they didn't have a kicker. Yeah, and Malik Neighbors. That's 404 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 3: kind of got his start going. I didn't think it 405 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 3: was that bad against the Cowboys. He underthrows some deep balls, 406 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 3: but no one ever like he's not Josh Allen Mahomes. 407 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 3: He's not a deep ball thrower. But he's not turning 408 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 3: the ball over. There was one time I looked up 409 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 3: and he would lowered his shoulder. So, I mean, I 410 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 3: think he's playing just pretty solid. Now, you know, are 411 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 3: they good enough? Like what does that mean? 412 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: I don't know. 413 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 3: I mean Seattle think about played Monday night in Detroit. 414 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 3: I don't know, what's that flight? 415 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: Four and a half. 416 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 3: Hours, you lose, you get back kind of your classic 417 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 3: come out the gates. Not playing that hard New York 418 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 3: off a long week because they had just played Thursday. 419 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 3: Looked like the fresher team. Yes, but New York is not. 420 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 3: I don't know. They're more likely in my mind to 421 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 3: win six or seven than nine or ten. But they 422 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 3: are a tough, you know, operation to play right now. 423 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 3: They are not some joke franchise. This is not you know, 424 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 3: I don't know, think of the worst team in the 425 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 3: Miami Patriot game. 426 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: They remind me of Denver. They're squeezing every out out 427 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: of their team, and that to me is coaching. I mean, 428 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: I watched them today and I'm like, I thought, I'm 429 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 1: like neighbors Singletary, How the hell do they move the 430 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: ball now? Again? Seattle is dinged up on the d line. 431 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: But when I'm watching Daniel Jones, it's one of those things, 432 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: it's just the Hostetler. It's Phil Simms, it's Eli. Even 433 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: when they have the right quarterback in New York, it's 434 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: never dynamic and pretty. And I love Phil Simms and Eli, 435 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: but there's a Hostetler quality to Daniel Jones. And years ago, 436 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: when I worked at the other place, I used to 437 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: call them the accounting firm of the NFL. Even when 438 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: they have a great earnings report. It's boring. They're a 439 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,919 Speaker 1: boring team. But I don't think you can deny. We 440 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: have to be totally honest about this. Brian Dabole, and 441 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: in New York it's just harder to coach. I mean, 442 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 1: if he was going through what Doug Peterson's going through 443 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: the last two months, he'd be done. He'd be out 444 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: with a Trevor Lawrence. He'd be fired. When I watch 445 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: that offense again, I'm watching Sean Payton score thirty fourth 446 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: day with bow Nicks. They're just squeezing every ounce. Then 447 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: I watched Josh Allen have a terrible day. So I 448 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: look at the Giants and I'm like, they have what 449 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: kind of the Jets don't, which is a really good 450 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: offensive coach. They get the most out of their talent. 451 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: There's really no drama. The HBO series didn't help, but 452 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of drama around them. They're boring. 453 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: I don't love Daniel Jones, but I will say this, 454 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: he'd have a market because of what Brian Daboles done. 455 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: He'd have a market. He denver hammered the Raiders thirty 456 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: four to eighteen. They now have a better record than 457 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: the Jets at three and two with a rookie quarterback 458 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: and a roster This was one of my takes this offseason. 459 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 1: The best over bet was Denver because I think their 460 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: roster's okay, not great, but they are generating a pass 461 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,159 Speaker 1: rush without a Pro Bowl guy up front. And I 462 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: watched bo Nicks had a touchdown pass drop today and 463 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: this is the difference between the great. 464 00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 3: It was a great throw too. 465 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: Gre Ride is I watch Bonick now? Jaden Daniels is different. 466 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm watching Lamar Jackson light. That's what 467 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: I feel like Jayden Daniels. I don't know what b 468 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 1: Nicks's comp is. And I was going to ask you 469 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: about this as a former scout. I do think there's 470 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: a ceiling. He is smaller, he doesn't have a big 471 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: deep arm. It's a little Derek Carr. I think Derek 472 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: Carr right now is a better deep arm than bo 473 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: Nick does. Do you have a comp for because clearly, 474 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: I mean Seawan is doing a Brian Dabole. He's squeezing 475 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: every ounce out of this roster. What is Bonick's ceiling? 476 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: Who is he to you? 477 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 3: I think before quarterback inflation he fell under that Derek Carr, 478 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,439 Speaker 3: Jimmy Garoppolo, you know, Okay, historically he would have been 479 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 3: a second round pick. Okay, Now he's a better athlete. 480 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 3: And I'm talking to Jimmy when he was decent for 481 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 3: the forty nine ers and Derek, you know, people love 482 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 3: to bag on him. He's had some pretty good years, yes, 483 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 3: for a team that let's face it, no one wins 484 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 3: with me in the race. So and I actually kind 485 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 3: of you know, the Saints, I think they're gonna have 486 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 3: a good season, and he's he's been playing well this season, 487 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 3: so I think he's under that mold. Now he's a 488 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 3: better athlete than both those two guys. Yes, Derek. You know, 489 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 3: when Derek was young, he had a pretty good pop 490 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 3: in his arm. I always say he's got more arm strengthen, boy, 491 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 3: But he'd never had a coach of Shawn's you know level. 492 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 3: He's had a lot of Yeah, So I think that 493 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:32,959 Speaker 3: I think he can be a really good player if 494 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 3: you build up the team. And one thing Sean Payton 495 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 3: has done really the last couple of years of Drew Brees. 496 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 3: When he brought in Dennis out, they became good on defense. 497 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 3: I'm watching him today. We know certain. I mean he's 498 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 3: been a highly recruited guy since he was like fifteen 499 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 3: years old. But they have other dbs flying all over 500 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 3: the feet. 501 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:49,640 Speaker 1: Yes you are. 502 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 3: I didn't have the volume on a couple of guys 503 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 3: made plays. I had to look up their names, like 504 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 3: who are these dbs? 505 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 2: Because they are I get that they're. 506 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 3: Playing the Raiders and Minshew and O'Connell, but that will okay, 507 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 3: you remove that brock Bowers play early in the game. 508 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 3: Once they got to the second quarter, they took control 509 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 3: and they came out a halftime and that was they. 510 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: Curb stopped them. 511 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 3: I mean they absolutely throttled them in the second half. 512 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: And they're offensively. Mims looks like a good pick. Javonte 513 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 1: Williams are running back. He can catch it and he 514 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: can run it. I think I've always like Courtland Sutton. 515 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 3: They like the Oregon wide receiver that dropped the ball, Franklin. 516 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: Franklin. 517 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 3: It's kind of the knock on him right as the hands, 518 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 3: but he unspeat and they played together in college. 519 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 1: So I kind of look at Denver and are they 520 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 1: a playoff team? John? I look at them like I 521 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: look at Chicago. You watch their defense and you're like, okay, 522 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: so I have a Super Bowl Trophy coach. Their defense 523 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: is much better than people think. It's faster than people think, 524 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: like Chicago, and they have a rookie quarterback. The difference 525 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: is the NFC North, maybe the best division at football 526 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: probably is Whereas the Raiders are a mess, the Chargers, 527 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: you cross their fingers they get healthy. The Chiefs are vulnerable. 528 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: Though they're on a heater, they're vulnerable. I in fact, 529 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: I like the points in the Saints tomorrow. They're just 530 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: not beating anybody. Denver is I mean, it's thirty four 531 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: eighteen and they dropped the touchdown. I think they're personnel, 532 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: you know. I like this GM Patton. I didn't love 533 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: the Russell Wilson move, but in fairness, I liked it 534 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 1: when they made it. I didn't know Russell was going 535 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: to drop off the cliff. I kind of like Denver's players. 536 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 3: Well, to me, when you look at the landscape of 537 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 3: the AFC, right the Chiefs, the Texans you know are 538 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 3: going to be there. 539 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: Obviously, the Bills are going to be. 540 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 3: There right now. The Chargers are the seventh seed, and 541 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 3: just based on injuries, you just know they're gonna have 542 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 3: so many it's gonna be hard to overcome. And if 543 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 3: their quarterback's banged up, they just be screwed. But turns 544 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 3: out Miami sucks. The Jets are I mean a complete 545 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 3: wild card. I mean there's been multiple times this season 546 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 3: when Rogers went down and you're like, is he gonna 547 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 3: get back up? I mean that happened today when he 548 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 3: got ben over. You thought, yeah, is this season over? 549 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 3: And even if his season he plays in all seventeen games, 550 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 3: that they are by no means no lock to win 551 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 3: nine games. The Browns, a playoff team from last year, 552 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,719 Speaker 3: is an absolute train wreck right now. I mean has 553 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 3: the worst quarterback situation slack vibes going on right now 554 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 3: because of the negativity surrounding that situation. So I think 555 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 3: you just look at the landscape of the AFC Cincinnati, 556 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 3: who obviously is pretty good. I mean, they got a 557 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 3: pretty special offense. But you start playing a numbers game 558 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you two and five. How do 559 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 3: you ever get back? You can't. You're not able to 560 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 3: win enough games in a row when you have that 561 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 3: big of a flaw as a defensive football team. That's 562 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 3: what's crazy about the Ravens is like, where did their 563 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 3: defense go? But Cincinnati like that has like they're they're 564 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 3: not good on defense, and it's hard. I don't care 565 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 3: if you got Joe Burrow, Jamar Chason T. Higgins, who 566 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 3: all look fantastic. If your defense is that bad, well, 567 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 3: the Broncos are like, hey, we're gonna have some games 568 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 3: when the throws for seventy five yards and you know what, 569 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 3: we'll when the fucking thing sixteen to thirteen. We got 570 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 3: no problem to do it. Like Cincinnati doesn't even have 571 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 3: that capability. Harbaugh in theory would But Joey bost is 572 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 3: already sitting in a suite. You know, the injuries have 573 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 3: kind of unraveled, and you know you got Herbert limping around. 574 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,479 Speaker 3: It's this team. Just the speed of Denver's defense. Oh, 575 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 3: they more of a deep dive on their defensive roster. 576 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 3: I don't even know some of their player besides certain 577 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 3: who is I mean, what does he look like right now? 578 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 3: Like Charles Woodson meets Rod Woodson in this prime? How 579 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 3: good does he look. 580 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: All right? Time for another edition of Sharp or Square 581 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: with my buddy Chad Millman, c COO Action Network. All 582 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: odds provided by DraftKings. So last year I had a 583 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: rough first month and I caught fire. And one of 584 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: the reasons I caught fire is I started noticing a 585 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: trend in my picks is that I was overthinking the 586 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: room and as this league has become more quarterback centric 587 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: when all else failed, the best quarterback is winning the games, 588 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: regardless of the spread. And that Monday Night's a great example. 589 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: Is everything told you, oh, those unlucky Saints, and then 590 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: two plays in You're like, I'm betting against Patrick Mahomes 591 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: over Derek Carr. So a great example of that to 592 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: me this week, I'm gonna inverse it. Aaron Rodgers since 593 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: December of twenty twenty two, has had one three hundred 594 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: yard game in that time. Davis Mills has had a couple. Okay, 595 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter has had more than one. Is that because 596 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,959 Speaker 1: he's a pretty passer, and we tend to embrace pretty 597 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: longer the aging supermodel, we grow up with him. We 598 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: can't let pretty go. We can let Peyton Manning was great, 599 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: but he wasn't pretty. Aaron's pretty. He's not a very 600 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: good quarterback anymore. He's not an efficient quarterback. So Josh 601 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 1: Allen is really good. They're getting a bit healthier. This 602 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: is a team that's gone through a chaotic week. They're 603 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: still banged up on the offensive line. Josh Allen is 604 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: significantly better than Aaron Rodgers. I am swallowing the two 605 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: and a half points. I'm going against the high energy 606 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: of a interim coach. Let's go backwards. Sharper square. 607 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 4: I mean, it's square as square as can be. You're 608 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 4: going to take a road favorite in the division. That 609 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 4: is a trend that will work against you over time. 610 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 4: You are going to buy a team. While the Bills 611 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 4: obviously aren't a two game losing streak, You're going against 612 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 4: a team that is much more undervalued in the Jets, 613 00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 4: playing at home because they are going through a coaching 614 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,520 Speaker 4: change and because there has been all this chaos in 615 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 4: their organization for the past month. So you're really playing 616 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 4: against into what the public wants. The public, by the way, 617 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 4: are betting the Bills at about a eighty five to 618 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 4: ninety percent clip, and that's another time when you want 619 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 4: to fade the public. So it's square. This line has 620 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 4: moved in the Bills direction. All the money is coming, 621 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 4: all the bets are on the Bills. The wise guys 622 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,479 Speaker 4: have bet this down to two. It goes back up 623 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 4: to two and a half. They take it again, it 624 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 4: goes back down to two. Wise guys are in their jets. 625 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: I do not believe although I said the Denver Broncos 626 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,479 Speaker 1: would be significantly better, they were my choice last year. 627 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: I said the Rams are not a six win team. 628 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: This year, I said the Broncos personnel offensively is not 629 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: a five win team. They're going to win eight or nine, 630 00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: probably don't make the playoffs. They're not on a three 631 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: game heater. That said, bow Nicks against Justin Herbert, who's 632 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: healthy with both tackles and offensive coach off of by 633 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 1: Chargers minus two and a half at Denver again, I'll 634 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: take the divisional road favorite. It is a mismatchic quarterback. 635 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: I do not believe the Denver Broncos are a four 636 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: game winning streak team. I am selling them at a 637 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: high point. Sharper square, dude. 638 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 4: There's a couple of games this week where there is 639 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:33,440 Speaker 4: zero consensus and very strong opinions on both sides, and 640 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 4: this is one of those games. I will say that 641 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 4: I'm with you. My favorite co host, Simon Hunter professional 642 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 4: better is with you this line was at three, got 643 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,399 Speaker 4: bet down to two and a half, then it goes 644 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 4: back up to three, then it gets bet down. What 645 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,400 Speaker 4: that is telling you is that when the game is 646 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 4: at two and a half, professionals, a certain section of 647 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 4: professionals love the Charters, and when the game is at three, 648 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 4: a different group likes the Broncos. And they are basically 649 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 4: just playing each other right now. They are just betting 650 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 4: back and forth, back and forth. And like, what's interesting 651 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 4: about these games, and we've talked a little bit about 652 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 4: this when it comes to people like Jim Harbaugh and 653 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 4: also people like Dan Campbell, they are building from the 654 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 4: inside out. They are building from the line of scrimmage. 655 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,399 Speaker 4: And with Harbaugh and Campbell both it's really been about 656 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 4: the offensive line. So Joe All coming back, hopefully Rashaun 657 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:35,200 Speaker 4: Slater coming back for the Chargers. That will mitigate the Broncos' 658 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,760 Speaker 4: greatest strength, which is their pass rush, which this year 659 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 4: is top five in pressure rate and is really the 660 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 4: reason why the Broncos have been staying in the games. 661 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 4: They're staying so to me, I like the Chargers here 662 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 4: because I think that they are they have the better quarterback, 663 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,439 Speaker 4: and I don't believe in bo Nicks. 664 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: Yet. 665 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 4: I think they've win with some smoke and mirrors right now, 666 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 4: but it is not going to find a sharp side 667 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 4: or a square side on this. I will say the 668 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 4: Broncos are a very public dog because they've been winning. 669 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 4: The public is coming in. So if you're looking for 670 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 4: how to fade, you do want to fade the Broncos. 671 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: Let's go to London. I think Caleb Williams and his 672 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: offensive cohorts went to Shane Waldron and said, we're not 673 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 1: a Pop Warner team. Give us more. Since that time, 674 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is completing seventy one percent of his throws 675 00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,759 Speaker 1: and doesn't have a turnover. The Jaguars just got out 676 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: of a long losing streak and almost gave that game away. 677 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 1: Whereas the Bears, I can look at them and go 678 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 1: excellent defensive coaching, and I can look at Caleb Williams 679 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 1: and say, ascending young star quarterback. There is nothing about 680 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 1: the Jaguars I can definitively say. I like the Bears 681 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: are starting to add to the things. I like, we 682 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 1: know that Iberfluskin coach defense. That's inarguable. It's like Robert Sola, 683 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: you don't have to love him. He knew defense. I'm 684 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: gonna take the Bears minus one and a half. In London, 685 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,360 Speaker 1: favorites do well overseas. Sharper Square favorites. 686 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 4: Are I think thirty five and ten. I don't know why, right, 687 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 4: And by the way, I think it's something like thirty 688 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,800 Speaker 4: fourteen and one against the spread, including this past week 689 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:38,760 Speaker 4: Minnesota beating up on the Jets. Right, So the wise 690 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 4: guys have been betting the Jags in this spot. They're 691 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 4: not fully bought in on the Bears. They feel like 692 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 4: the Bears have beaten bad teams and until the Panthers, 693 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 4: you know, they didn't look that great beating the Colts. 694 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,280 Speaker 4: They didn't look that great beating the Rams. I agree 695 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 4: with you what you're seeing about Kayleb Williams. He's definitely 696 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 4: taking steps and it's not like the Jag defense is 697 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,760 Speaker 4: anything that is lighting up the league or that people 698 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 4: are afraid of. And to your point, like Doug Peterson 699 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,440 Speaker 4: after that touchdown pass to Alec Pearce by Joe Flacco 700 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 4: in that game, I thought Doug Peterson wanted to disappear 701 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 4: into a hole like he was on the balls of 702 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 4: his feet, his elbows, on his knees like he looked devastated, 703 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 4: like I don't know what to do with this team anymore. 704 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 4: So this is not a good team. But they're still 705 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 4: betting the Jags. And I'll be honest with you, it's 706 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 4: all trend based and model based. There is nothing on 707 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 4: the field that makes any professional better look at this 708 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,879 Speaker 4: and say, oh, yeah, I gotta take the Jags. This 709 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:46,760 Speaker 4: is where, by the way, your quarterback theory might play out, because. 710 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 1: Best quarterback wins. 711 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, the better quarterback wins. And I don't think there's 712 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 4: anyone who will say that Caleb Williams isn't ascendant and 713 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,800 Speaker 4: that Trevor Lawrence is a little bit flataued or even 714 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 4: regressing right now. I think some of the things that 715 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 4: the wise Guy's like, if it's anything, it's about the travel. 716 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:09,400 Speaker 4: There is a very significant trend and record of the 717 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 4: team that has played in London before performing better because 718 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 4: it is so sort of dislocating for both teams that 719 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 4: when you've had that experience it plays to your strength. 720 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 1: So there's I have this belief when there's a line, 721 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 1: most lines are three to three and a half, two 722 00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,120 Speaker 1: and a half, six and a half, seven, seven and 723 00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,839 Speaker 1: a half but when the line's four and a half 724 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: to five, what they're telling you is one team is 725 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: clearly better. And that tells me that green Bay minus 726 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: five is better than Arizona. So I tend to believe 727 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: that young quarterbacks Jordan Love still qualifies as that at 728 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 1: home are more comfortable. I think Jordan Love isn't totally healthy, 729 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,800 Speaker 1: but I think he's getting there now. Christian Watson practice 730 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: this week. I picked green Bay to win the division. 731 00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: Jordan Love's injury slowed that down. I have seen now 732 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 1: a half here or a half there where they look 733 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: really good. I think they put it all together. Arizona 734 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: is a celebratory young team that awful win could be flat. 735 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,680 Speaker 1: I don't trust them week to week. I would swallow 736 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 1: the points five and take green Bay sharper square totally sharp. 737 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:26,320 Speaker 4: It's the side. The Cardinals are one of those public teams. 738 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 4: We just talked about it with the Broncos to watch, Yeah, 739 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 4: like they're really fun to watch, and look, they just 740 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 4: had their Super Bowl. Right The Cardinals right now are 741 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 4: in second place in their division and the Niners are 742 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 4: in third because they're both two and three, and the 743 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,600 Speaker 4: Cardinals beat the Niners. The challenge with Kyler Murray is 744 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,959 Speaker 4: there's so much inconsistency. And we liked what we saw 745 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:54,360 Speaker 4: Trey McBride, but again, like they won that game because 746 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 4: at the end of it, the Niners didn't have a kicker, 747 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 4: and so they had to make really unorthodox decisions when 748 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 4: they were in the red zone when otherwise they might 749 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 4: have been kicking field goals. And if not for a fumble, 750 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 4: the Cardinals don't get the ball back and they don't 751 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 4: get a chance to drive for the game winning kick. Right, 752 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:16,280 Speaker 4: So we have to take some of this cardinal ascendancy 753 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 4: with a little bit of a grain of salt, and 754 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 4: I think I'm seeing the same thing that you are 755 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,720 Speaker 4: with the Packers. Number One, Matt Lafleur is a genius 756 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 4: when it comes to scheming. He is clearly going to 757 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 4: be a better coach than Jonathan Gannon is going to be. 758 00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 4: And I also think the Packers defense this year, their 759 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:38,880 Speaker 4: defensive backfield, especially very opportunistic. Already more interceptions this year 760 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,239 Speaker 4: through that was before last week than they had all 761 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,239 Speaker 4: of last year. So while there are still holes in 762 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 4: their defense, they're at least getting the turnovers that they 763 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,359 Speaker 4: hadn't be getting in the past, and to me, I 764 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 4: feel like we are three weeks into Jordan Love being back. 765 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 4: This is the first game back where he's not going 766 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,959 Speaker 4: to be facing a really challenging defense at home. 767 00:41:59,480 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: I e. 768 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,399 Speaker 4: Nine Flora's in the Vikings. We saw what they did 769 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,640 Speaker 4: in the second half when they made the adjustments and 770 00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,879 Speaker 4: were able to come back against the Vikings. I agree 771 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 4: with you. Whyse guys agree with you. 772 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: Packers are the side, So Commanders plus six and a 773 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,120 Speaker 1: half is my side. Here's why Lamar Jackson eats the 774 00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 1: NFC because you can't duplicate esthetically stylistically what he does 775 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: in practice, except Washington can they have Lamar Jackson light 776 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,359 Speaker 1: so they see Lamar Jackson light in practice every day. 777 00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 1: I'm also a believer until you prove otherwise, I'm going 778 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,880 Speaker 1: to believe what my eyes tell me. Washington's really good, 779 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,240 Speaker 1: way too good to give him six and a half. 780 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: If they wouldn't have been the league's tire fire for 781 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,799 Speaker 1: a decade, you'd say this line's ridiculous. If anybody else 782 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 1: was playing this well for five weeks, any other team, 783 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 1: maybe outside of Carolina, there would be complete buy in. 784 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 1: There's utter skepticism they're good they have lamar light. Washington's 785 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 1: seen this at practice. I'm taking the point Sharper square. 786 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 4: So it's square. But when you look at the numbers here, 787 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 4: the betting tickets are on the Commanders. They are the 788 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 4: fly high team that everybody loves right now, there's no 789 00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 4: doubt about it. But you can see the money is 790 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 4: on the Ravens. And when you have a split between 791 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 4: tickets and money, tickets represents the public. Money represents the Sharps, right, 792 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 4: and these guys have been looking to sell the Commanders, 793 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,640 Speaker 4: so it's very possible they will continue to be wrong 794 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,480 Speaker 4: and you are right right because they wanted to sell 795 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 4: the Commanders last week and they lost. They wanted to 796 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 4: sell the Commanders the week before and they lost. They 797 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:55,160 Speaker 4: are going to keep doubling, tripling down on selling the 798 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:59,439 Speaker 4: Commanders until they're eventually right. Matchup wise, this does play 799 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 4: to the Ravens and strengths. They are a tremendous running 800 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 4: team right now, one of the best in the league, 801 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 4: and they are going against a terrible, terrible run defense, 802 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 4: especially in early downs. Now we've said this before the 803 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 4: Ravens last year in the AFC title game. If they 804 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,080 Speaker 4: had just run the ball they win that game. Instead, 805 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 4: they put it in Lamar's hands. So you have to 806 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,920 Speaker 4: hope that they actually go with the game plan that 807 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 4: will give them the best chance to win. Historically, teams 808 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,879 Speaker 4: that are overachieving like the Commanders, and when I say 809 00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 4: overachieving meeting, they are covering the point spread by about 810 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 4: five points per game. Those teams going forward in every 811 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,640 Speaker 4: game thereafter until there is enough regression that it evens 812 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 4: out cover it about a forty three percent clip. This 813 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:53,160 Speaker 4: is what really worries Ravens betters. Okay, underdogs this year 814 00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 4: six plus points, eleven and eight straight up, sixteen to 815 00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 4: two to one against the spread. And this is one 816 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 4: of those weeks. We got a few of these games. 817 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,080 Speaker 4: We got this one. We got the Patriots, we got 818 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,839 Speaker 4: the Browns, we got the Eagles, we got the Panthers 819 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:14,760 Speaker 4: like and the Falcons like. It's a more big spreads 820 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,640 Speaker 4: than we've had at any point so far this season. 821 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:23,919 Speaker 4: But here is what's really scaring Ravens backers. You could 822 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:30,720 Speaker 4: see this game, Ravens are up by thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, 823 00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 4: any number like that, and the back door is wide open, 824 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 4: and the Ravens pass defense is soft and Jayden Daniels 825 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 4: will not quit. This Commander's team will not quit. They 826 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 4: might not they might know they're not going to win 827 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 4: the game, but they might score that back door. So 828 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,359 Speaker 4: it's a it's going to be a sweat. It is 829 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,880 Speaker 4: not going to be a oh yeah, it's a blowout. 830 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 4: And by the middle of the third quarter, Ravens betters 831 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,839 Speaker 4: feel like they can, you know, turn on a cooking show. 832 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:07,879 Speaker 1: Okay. One thing that almost guarantees consistency college or pro 833 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 1: football is a really good offensive line. You kind of 834 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:15,479 Speaker 1: get the same Detroit team every weekend. People just don't 835 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 1: quite realize how good the New York Giants offensive line is. 836 00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: That Seattle game wasn't close. I don't care what the 837 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:28,320 Speaker 1: score was. Mike McDonald's team couldn't get them off the field. 838 00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:34,800 Speaker 1: Danny Dimes doesn't turn the ball over without Molik Neighbors, 839 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 1: without Singletary, completely controlled the line of scrimmage. They're not 840 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 1: as good as Detroit, but Cincinnati can't stop anything. And 841 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:49,040 Speaker 1: this very quietly because it's been so bad for so 842 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 1: many years. This Giant's O line reminds me of the 843 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,240 Speaker 1: Giants D line. It controls most of the teams it plays. 844 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 1: I'm taking the three and a half points New York 845 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,840 Speaker 1: plus three and a half at home. Sharper square, totally sharp. 846 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 4: I'm surprised you chose this one, not because I don't 847 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,280 Speaker 4: have faith in your ability to be super sharp, because 848 00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:14,800 Speaker 4: you truly are a maven of the media, a master 849 00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 4: of content, and a man who understands where the audience 850 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 4: is going and what they want to hear. But this 851 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 4: just felt like the kind of game you'd want to 852 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:28,840 Speaker 4: ignore unless it's a primetime game. But you're one hundred 853 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,399 Speaker 4: percent right. The Wise guys are on the Giants here 854 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 4: this line. Actually it opened at three and a half, 855 00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,800 Speaker 4: and like you can see in the Jews, the vague, 856 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 4: the commission, the way the bookmakers start to play with 857 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 4: those things. Normally the numbers at minus one ten. When 858 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:48,240 Speaker 4: it starts to go up minus one fifteen minus one twenty, 859 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,440 Speaker 4: that's basically them saying to you, all right, it's going 860 00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 4: to move or the other side plus one fifteen plus 861 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 4: one twenty, this number is going to move to three. 862 00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 4: And that's because the Wise guys are buying hook the 863 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,400 Speaker 4: half a point for the Giants because they feel the 864 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:05,239 Speaker 4: same way you do. They think this team has been 865 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 4: balling out lately. Daniel Jones has been playing much better. 866 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:13,919 Speaker 4: Brian Dayball has been calling great game plans the past 867 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:18,080 Speaker 4: couple of weeks. And look like, go back, what was 868 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,799 Speaker 4: it three weeks ago? They're playing the Commanders. They don't 869 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,840 Speaker 4: score any touchdowns and like that's why they lose that game. 870 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,960 Speaker 4: I know it's a weird thing to say, oh, look, 871 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,760 Speaker 4: this team is better than you think, but one ball 872 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,879 Speaker 4: bounces a different way, and the Commanders aren't even six 873 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:40,719 Speaker 4: and a half point underdogs, they're more. And no one's saying, oh, 874 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,720 Speaker 4: the Giants really shouldn't be any more than the Giants. 875 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,319 Speaker 4: They're saying the Giant shouldn't be any more than a 876 00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 4: field goal against the Bengals at home. So that's that's 877 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:50,239 Speaker 4: an interesting pick by you. 878 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 1: So let's go to the best offensive line in football, Detroit. 879 00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: So this line was at three and a half and 880 00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: I said on the air on FS one, if it 881 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,280 Speaker 1: comes down to three, I'm taking Detroit. So a couple things. 882 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,160 Speaker 1: Dallas is the Arizona Cardinals or the Buffalo Bills of 883 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 1: the league. I'm not really sure what team I get, 884 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 1: just depends on the matchup and the mood. I get 885 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 1: the same. And that's because Dallas has a very left tackle, 886 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,120 Speaker 1: revolving door injuries. You don't know what they are with 887 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:23,520 Speaker 1: their offensive line. It's matchup based. Detroit's a better team. 888 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:28,080 Speaker 1: Detroit is a completely consistent team. Listen, they give up 889 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,880 Speaker 1: yards they do on the back end. I mean Gino 890 00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,160 Speaker 1: Smith had thirty eight first downs against them, and that 891 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 1: worries me. But Hutchison and the tackle, the left tackle 892 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:43,759 Speaker 1: for Dallas, yikes. Yeah, I know it's a road favorite, 893 00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,200 Speaker 1: but at three Sharper square, I like Detroit. 894 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,760 Speaker 4: Well, it's not sharp, right, Nobody in their right mind 895 00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 4: is going to say, as a professional better, Yes, the 896 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,920 Speaker 4: right side here is the road favorite and the publics 897 00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:05,920 Speaker 4: side playing in Dallas. But you said something that is 898 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 4: so on point, and you talk about quarterbacks and bad 899 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,240 Speaker 4: quarterbacks and good quarterbacks as being sort of a decision 900 00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 4: maker for you. For me, more and more, it's becoming 901 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,759 Speaker 4: about who controls the line of scrimmage because to me, 902 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:25,240 Speaker 4: that is the most consistent and dependable way a team 903 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 4: can define performance and live up to expectations. Right, there's 904 00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,239 Speaker 4: going to be some matchup issue at some point on 905 00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,720 Speaker 4: the edges or running back may get hurt. A quarterback 906 00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:40,040 Speaker 4: is having a bad game, but offensive line, defensive line 907 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:48,600 Speaker 4: consistency is pretty easy to mark. Lions their top five, 908 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 4: top two dominant, not just as an offensive line but 909 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,279 Speaker 4: as a defensive line. But when you look at their 910 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,799 Speaker 4: offensive line across the board, like this is why this 911 00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:02,799 Speaker 4: team is a top five overall offensive team right now. 912 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:06,759 Speaker 4: And to me, what's really fascinating is you look at 913 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,319 Speaker 4: the Jared Goff game. He went eighteen for eighteen, but 914 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 4: it wasn't Jared Goff going thirty five of forty for 915 00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,360 Speaker 4: four hundred yards and four touchdowns working outside of the 916 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:22,439 Speaker 4: offense because it was a you know, a shootout, Jared 917 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,920 Speaker 4: Goff working within the confines of the offense. Ben Johnson 918 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:30,359 Speaker 4: calling a great game. Dan Campbell clearly has said we're 919 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,960 Speaker 4: not ourselves these first few games. Let's get back to basics. 920 00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,480 Speaker 4: Football is a violent game. We are built to be violent. 921 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 4: So to me, every advanced metric that every geek can 922 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 4: think of favors the LIGHTNS here and every other metric. 923 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,560 Speaker 4: When you look at the Cowboys and you shake it out, 924 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:55,240 Speaker 4: it basically says their defense, especially against the run, is trash. 925 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 4: I don't know if the wise guys will be with you. 926 00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,400 Speaker 4: I know I will be. We're making an executive decision, Colin. 927 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:02,440 Speaker 4: We're going with the lines. 928 00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 1: The college game of the year is Oregon getting about 929 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,879 Speaker 1: a field goal. It was like four, now it's down 930 00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,759 Speaker 1: to three against Ohio State. I think they could meet 931 00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,759 Speaker 1: in the playoff. I think Eugene they've won thirty four 932 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,240 Speaker 1: or thirty five at home. Dylan Gabriel's having completing almost 933 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 1: eighty percent of his throws. They have their own line, right. 934 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,600 Speaker 1: I think Ohio State's better, but I think putting kids. 935 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 1: I mean, if you go look at Ohio State against 936 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,840 Speaker 1: top ten teams, they've actually not been very good the 937 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 1: last three years. I think I would take Oregon in 938 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,040 Speaker 1: the points sharper square. 939 00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would too. I think that the quarterback play 940 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:41,080 Speaker 4: for Ohio State is eh. You know, the reason why 941 00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,319 Speaker 4: their receivers keep making so many fantastic catches is because 942 00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,760 Speaker 4: the throws aren't always that good. And you know, it's interesting, 943 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:49,799 Speaker 4: what did Nick Saban say on game day? He's like, 944 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,120 Speaker 4: you spend twenty million, it doesn't really matter. You got 945 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,200 Speaker 4: to spend the right twenty million on the right guys. 946 00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,160 Speaker 4: And I think this is the beginning of a gauntlet 947 00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,520 Speaker 4: for Ohio State. They spent that twenty million at probably 948 00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 4: right before they're about to have the hardest schedule that 949 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,360 Speaker 4: they have had in years to get to a national 950 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:12,440 Speaker 4: championship contending position. I think we all believe they'll make 951 00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 4: the playoff, but it's no guarantee. You got Oregon, Ohio State, 952 00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:19,800 Speaker 4: Penn State two, three four. Like that Big ten now 953 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:24,719 Speaker 4: is brutal, So I agree with you. I like Oregon. 954 00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,920 Speaker 1: The volume. Thanks so much for listening.
