Underdogs by a point total fifty three? 18 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 3: What's going on? How you feeling about the Super Bowl? 19 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 4: Look a narrative you're gonna hear this week is a 20 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,919 Speaker 4: super Bowl has never closed at a pick? 21 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 2: Who cares? 22 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,559 Speaker 4: And the reason I bring that up If you lost 23 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 4: money today, I lost money today. I was firing on 24 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 4: the under in San fran Live. It's all I wanted 25 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 4: and like the game played out how I wanted. San 26 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 4: Franco's a lead. They run it a billion times and 27 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 4: that's what happened, and there happened to be some big 28 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 4: plays and blah blah blah. I didn't hate that play, 29 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 4: you know, And then I took some some Chiefs live 30 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 4: but then I ended up taking some live under in 31 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 4: the fourth quarter and they hit that big play. But whatever, 32 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 4: so I lost some money. Don't fire on the Super 33 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 4: Bowl right now, Just don't because it opened a pick 34 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 4: and might go to one and a half either way. 35 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 4: Right it's going to bounce around to the dead zone. 36 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 4: I will say, if you wake up and you're listening 37 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 4: to this and it's three either way ticket, you know, 38 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 4: if you see Chiefs plus three ticket, if you see 39 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 4: forty nine ERDs plus three ticket, right like, that's how 40 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 4: close this game is. And I don't think either three 41 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 4: would last. I don't even think we get there either way. 42 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 4: But my main point is there's two weeks to go. 43 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 4: Save it for CN on basketball. My followers don't talk 44 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 4: about on a Monday night, So that's my initial reaction. 45 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 4: But I think that at the end of the day, 46 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 4: Ravens or Chiefs best teams in the AFC, Niners best 47 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 4: overall team in the NFC. So we got a great matchup. 48 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 4: But then we're gonna have two weeks to break down 49 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 4: the best defense in the NFL versus the best offense 50 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 4: in the NFL. So it'll be fun two weeks. 51 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: You know, I actually did fire on a Super Bowl, 52 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: but I did it because I was prepared, like for 53 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: the matchups and I'm what I'm saying, Oh no, yeah, 54 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: I have it. So I have it as a pick 55 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: and I'll explain why. But I did get it at 56 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: San Francisco plus one and a half and it started 57 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: moving back toward one, So that's kind of why I 58 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: wanted to grab it then, because like you said, it 59 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: might end up closing back at a pick. 60 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 3: I don't know if it gets to three either way. 61 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: But the reason I have it as a pick, and 62 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: I really do truly think this is a coin flip game, 63 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: is because. 64 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 3: It could come down to something as simple as who wins. 65 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: The opening coin toss or who gets the ball first, 66 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: because I think both of these teams, you know, Kansas City, 67 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: the slow starts. They you don't want to get off 68 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: to a slow start against this this San Francisco team, 69 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: like more than any other team, I think Cam Francisco 70 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: is more dangerous than Tennessee in that not only you know, 71 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: do they have the run game, but they have essentially the. 72 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 3: Best defense in the week. 73 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: It's not going to be quite as easy for the 74 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: Chiefs to come back. However, on the other side of 75 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: that is, if the Chiefs of the most explosive offense 76 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: in the league, if they get up let's say seven nothing, 77 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: this forty nine er team is going to be in 78 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: a spot that you know, they've shown they can win 79 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: a shootout against New Orleans forty eight forty six, but 80 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: you still don't want to be in a shootout in 81 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: this against this Patrick Mahomes offense. You don't want to, 82 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: you know, Jimmy Garoppolo, I mean barely throw the ball 83 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: in this postseason, let's be honest. And now it's going 84 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: to be essentially like a month since he had meaningful 85 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: pass attempts, you know, you know, thirty plus pass attempts 86 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: in a game when the Super Bowl comes. 87 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 4: So I think both Giants, Yeah, but like Eli Manning 88 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 4: very well, right, oh yeah, that's Jimmy g exactly. 89 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: I mean no, he's better, like he's better than Eli Manning. 90 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: But and this offense with Kyle Shanahan, with Kittle, all 91 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: those guys, we're not talking about the whole team, ya, 92 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: but who is he can win a yeah, and this 93 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,839 Speaker 1: game has some parallels like if you look at how 94 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: these high powered offenses like the Chief, how they tend 95 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: to go down in Super Bowls. It's teams with the 96 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: I can get pressure with a four man rush and 97 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: hold up on the back end, which is what San 98 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: Fran can do. But I still think I would worry 99 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: if they got out to an early lead. 100 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 3: So have it as a pick. 101 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: Got Sam Fran plus one and a half. We'll see 102 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: how the line moves throughout the week, but right now 103 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: most books I'm seeing it it's Casey by a point 104 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,679 Speaker 1: with the total of fifty three. 105 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 4: We're gonna break this whole game down, but by and 106 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 4: then we'll talk about that both championship games before we 107 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 4: get out of here. But my initial conundrum is Patrick 108 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 4: Mahomes is an elite quarterback. Elite in every sense. I 109 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 4: don't think Jimmy g is. Maybe he will adult hit 110 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 4: at that, but he reminds me it was the weirdest thing. 111 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 4: The weirdest thing is that I tweeted out that he's 112 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 4: Eli manning people arguing in the bars that he should 113 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 4: be a Hall of Fame quarterback. You could argue that 114 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 4: because of the rings Jimmy Gee win multiple rings, he 115 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 4: hasn't proved to me that his elite quarterback yet, right, Like, 116 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 4: there's a reason that San Fran gets a lead. They 117 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 4: have a great defense and they just sit on it. 118 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 4: Part of that is they have a great defense. Part 119 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 4: of that they can run the ball. But when there's 120 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 4: a game, it's a pick at a super Bowl, Like, 121 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 4: part of me says, I want to back who I 122 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 4: know is the superior quarterback, right, but then I look 123 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 4: at this Chiefs defense. It's still garbage and people, we're 124 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 4: gonna break all this down every single play after the buye. 125 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: People want to say the. 126 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 4: Chiefs defense has improved past defense, which I have said, 127 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 4: but people have taken it to extreme. 128 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 2: Like the Chiefs pass defense is good. 129 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 4: We've already talked about Thornhill their safeties out, but go 130 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 4: back and look who they played, right, they played the 131 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 4: Broncos in a blizzard. 132 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: They played Mitch Bortles, like, and. 133 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 4: When they get a lead, the defense is good. You 134 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 4: have guys like Frank Clark, clown by the way for 135 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 4: calling out Henry, but you have guys who can blitz 136 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 4: the quarterback and you have a defense if they can 137 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 4: sit back with a lead. Once they get a lead, 138 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 4: their defense looks okay because you know they're gonna throw 139 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 4: it and you make an offense one dimensional. It all 140 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 4: works in harmony. When the Chiefs are leading, and they 141 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 4: finally got the lead, their defense starts to look better. 142 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 4: But if you look at all the parts and in 143 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 4: the beginning of these games, you can move the ball 144 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 4: on them. And now if the Chiefs get behind, like 145 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 4: you alluded to earlier, this isn't the Texans secondary. This 146 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 4: isn't the Titans secondary. Right, you get out fourteen to nothing, 147 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 4: but this is what the forty nine ers feast on. 148 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 4: So as you also said, he could could be the 149 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 4: coin toss because the forty nine Ers live on a lead, right, 150 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 4: and the Chiefs have been living on Who cares that 151 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 4: we're behind because we're playing these garbage AFC secondaries. We 152 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 4: avoided the Patriots, we avoided the Ravens. So that's the 153 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 4: conundrum because I have the better quarterback, but the Chiefs 154 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 4: defense is really bad. So that's what we have to 155 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 4: break down for the next two weeks. It should be 156 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 4: fascinating and it cook them now to a player two. 157 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: And you know, it's interesting because the Chiefs definitely have 158 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: the best I think overall unit in this game, which 159 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: is their pass offense. However, the forty nine Ers deep 160 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: pass defense is right there. And then the forty nine 161 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: Ers run game as they show today, and with the 162 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 1: like Tevin Coleman, I mean that shoulder injury didn't look good. 163 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,600 Speaker 1: I came back on sidelin with his arm and his sling, 164 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: so that's something to monitor. But you know he most 165 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: are more than proof capable of carrying the low. They 166 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: still have Matt Brida, this forty nine Ers run game, 167 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: because of George Middle right, because of Kyle ust Check, 168 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: because of that line. Let's remember that the one bad 169 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: unit in this game, like involved in this game is 170 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: the Kansas City run defense. And that's you know, they 171 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: played a great game against Thereck Henry today. Sure, but 172 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: that was the Titans, and that was still a one 173 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: dimensional team with Ryan Tannehill. Like Jim me G's better 174 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: than Ryan Tannehill. This offense has more weapons, so you do. 175 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 3: Worry about that. 176 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: And again that's why I say, you know, it's really 177 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: about who gets to lead. So do you think the 178 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: spread really does get to three either way, I honestly 179 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 1: don't think it will. 180 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: Now, I don't think it does. I mean the interesting 181 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 2: thing is that, but I look back at. 182 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 4: The at both championship games today and this sound boarant 183 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 4: one play is in the game. 184 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: People don't understand how big one play. 185 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,239 Speaker 4: We talked all week about the only way that Packers 186 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 4: could win this game. Right, what did I preach? I 187 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 4: wrote about they got to get a lead, early lead. 188 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 4: You're only good, and you're only good in the first quarter, 189 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 4: and you have to force Jimmy g in the turnovers. 190 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 4: One play took all three of those possible scenarios out 191 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 4: by punting it fourth and one at midfield. First of all, 192 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 4: you punt, you don't get a lead. You're in the 193 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 4: first quarter, driving and good night everything. You're not getting turnovers. 194 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 4: Jimmy G just thirt eight times one play fourth and one. 195 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 4: You don't go for it there, you deserve to lose. Titans, 196 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 4: by the way, played it aggressively fourth and what They 197 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 4: went for it and ended up scoring a touchdown. Right, 198 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 4: the Chiefs still came back to win. But you know 199 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 4: when that game flipped and I go back and forth 200 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 4: and so and I want your opinion on it. 201 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: Chiefs score, they kick it off to. 202 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 4: The Titans, and the Titans get the ball with what 203 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 4: three minutes to go, and they know that they're up 204 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 4: three or four and they have two point fifty I think, 205 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 4: and the Chiefs are going to get the ball and 206 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 4: then start the second half. 207 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: So there's a conundrum here. 208 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 4: It's like, all right, I know, I gotta waiste clock 209 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 4: because the Chiefs are going to get the ball if 210 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 4: I don't. 211 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: Get it, but it's still the Chiefs defense. And then 212 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 2: also it's mahone. He might not need much time. But 213 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 2: I also have Derrick Henry, so. 214 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 4: Like running it first and second down usually is bad there, 215 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 4: but I still have that currently. 216 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 2: So I can't fall Rabel that much because it's not 217 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: like you're handing it. 218 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 4: You know, to scrub back. But looking back, and at 219 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 4: the time I was contemplating it, I don't really blame Verbell. 220 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 4: I said, look, you were throwing in a first and 221 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 4: second down with some success. But that right there fourteen 222 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 4: points to the Chiefs, and that end of the two minutes, 223 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 4: the first half beginning to two minutes and second half, 224 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 4: Chiefs are the better team overall. But when you're on 225 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 4: the road, you're the clear underdog, the clear in for 226 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 4: your team, you might need to throw there. And if 227 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 4: you're the Packers, you go for fourth and one at 228 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 4: midfield because you stink compared to the forty nine ers. 229 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 4: Your team was only good in the first quarter all year. 230 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 4: You need the lead, and you cannot play from behind 231 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 4: against the forty nine ers because they just come at 232 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 4: you and they sit back and coverage and there's. 233 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 2: Not much you can do. So the teams that deserve 234 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 2: to win one. 235 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 4: But there was a couple of times that I think 236 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 4: the games could have been a little more interesting if 237 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 4: the decisions were a little different. 238 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 2: What do you think, So we'll. 239 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: Start with the Packers and kind of go backwards. So 240 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: I just thought that the Packers came out poorly in 241 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: Jet like all the talk was about, we can't start 242 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: this game slow, we can't start this game the way 243 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: we did last time, and they came out and we're 244 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: just as bad really as last time. So I agree 245 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: they should have been more aggressive. 246 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,599 Speaker 4: Decision zero zero, four to one and midfield. You go 247 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 4: see the gun, right, I do see the reason. 248 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: I do see why they punted it, and this is 249 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 1: why no, But listen. But but but think about it 250 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: this way. Everyone's saying, Jimmy G, can't you know, can't 251 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:37,599 Speaker 1: do it. 252 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 4: But hold on, let's not Why did you see the 253 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 4: reasoning for punting it there? 254 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,319 Speaker 3: Because you're you're. 255 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: Pinning the forty nine ers deep in a situation where 256 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: everyone's saying, hey, they can't drive the length of the 257 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: field with Jimmy G. It's still early in the game. 258 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: There's not like I get it. I'm not saying I 259 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: agree with I'm just saying I get it. I think 260 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: the Titans play calling on early downs in not just 261 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: that punt weight, but I just thought the Titans threw 262 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,479 Speaker 1: the ball a little too aggressively. 263 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 3: And some people say, well, they should have done that, 264 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 3: they should have been aggressive. 265 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: I thought the Titans didn't go to Henry enough on 266 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: certain plays that got them into these thirty longs and 267 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: got them into situations where they ended up because. 268 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 3: The Titan That was the whole thing with the Titans 269 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 3: in most. 270 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 1: Of these In the first two playoff games, they didn't 271 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: really get in a situation where they were like, oh, crap, 272 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta think about, you know, making a 273 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: decision here. You know, they were for the most part, 274 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: they were ahead of the chains. So like, I get 275 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:23,959 Speaker 1: the way the Packers did it. I would have gone 276 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: for it, but I get it just because you know, okay, 277 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: make Jimmy show it. 278 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 3: And they they didn't need to show it. 279 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: They just ran the ball straight down the throat, which 280 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think it's a matter of matchup 281 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: with them. I think this forty nine er team is 282 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: just a monstrous team running the football, and it's kind 283 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: and that now that it just sets up like the Titans, 284 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: except with a better defense. 285 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 4: This isn't even hindsight or Monday morning quarterback. Listen, I 286 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 4: remember you had the forty nine ers. I told you 287 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 4: I'm not betting the Packers, and I said, here's the 288 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 4: formula for the Packers to win, right, And I said 289 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 4: everything I still go right? And I said, their first 290 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 4: quarter offense or scripted plays, right, that's number one. The 291 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,599 Speaker 4: entire year, the only way they beat anybody. Go to 292 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 4: the Redskins games. They get off in the first quarter, right, 293 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 4: they get up and they hold on for dear life. 294 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 4: So that's number one. They're often is only good in 295 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 4: the first qure. Number two, they need to force Jimmy 296 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 4: g in the turnovers, he's a two point eight percent 297 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 4: interception rate. It's horrible, twenty six in the NFL Rogers's 298 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 4: point seven. By punting it there, you're taking out your drive, 299 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 4: you're taking out the potential lead, and you take out 300 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 4: Jimmy g throwing the ball, and you're a road underdog. 301 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 4: You have to play aggressively, like to sit there and 302 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 4: say if you're on the on the side of the 303 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 4: fence of maybe if you're like equal or you think 304 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 4: that you're better, maybe you punt it. 305 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 2: But I mean, that is how you live. That's you, 306 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 2: that's your identity. 307 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 4: All year the Packers were an overachieving team that relied 308 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 4: on turnovers and getting a lead and holding on. No, 309 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 4: I get you, but that was why I still I 310 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 4: just want to say that not after the fact. 311 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 3: Like if you just look at it, they punted the ball. 312 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: San Francisco got it at the eleven, Like, what are 313 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: the higher odds of San Francisco scoring like them from 314 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: the eleven or the Packers now having to convert on 315 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: fourth in one, which is really fourth in like one 316 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: and a half half. It was a long one and 317 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: it's still like they could have just got stopped again. 318 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: Like what I feel like the odds probably aren't too different. 319 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: So like, I don't hate it there in you know 320 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: that early in the game, but they like they couldn't stop. 321 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 3: The run, so it ended up not mattering. 322 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 2: The forty I could run it, they didn't make Jimmy 323 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 2: g throw it. 324 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 4: Like when you're also assuming that the forty nine ers 325 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 4: start the ten, they could return it to the thirty. 326 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 2: It could be a touchback. They could shank the punt. 327 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 4: They okay, eighty yards what I'm saying they punted at 328 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 4: twenty yards and gave the forty nine ers a touchdown 329 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 4: later in the game. You also get the first down 330 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 4: like the Titans. 331 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: Did on the road when they went for it and 332 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: then score a touchdown. And I just think that's when 333 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 2: you're the Packers and. 334 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 4: You do that, You're not facing Patrick Mahomes, You're facing 335 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 4: Eli Manning. 336 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: So how do you think that plays into cause obviously, 337 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: you know, the forty nine ers didn't face the best 338 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 1: coaching in the in the championship game. I think the 339 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 1: Vikings were just outmatched more than poorly coach and their 340 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: quarterback just wasn't built to kind of challenge what because 341 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: like Rogers got some plays down the field in the 342 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: second half that they probably should have tried earlier. But 343 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: that's besides the point. How do you think that factors in? 344 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: You know, Andy Reid has shown to be conservative at times. 345 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: How do you think the coaching matchup factors in here? 346 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: Because you have two coaches that kind of like Shanahan's 347 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: notorious for blowing one weight in that Super Bowl, but 348 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: ever since he's been run heavy, and then you have 349 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: Reid known for getting too conservative when he's up. 350 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:17,719 Speaker 3: So how do you think this coaching match kind of 351 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 3: plays in to the spread. 352 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 4: Final I'm gonna hear about to read off the buy, 353 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 4: which is a valid thing. It's one of the most 354 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 4: profitable coaches off of a bye. So we'll have to 355 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 4: break all that down in the Super Bowl. 356 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 2: And blah blah blah. 357 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 4: By the way, I do have to mention this for 358 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 4: the Titans backers. The p I kind of bullshit. Shouldn't 359 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 4: have called that, and Chiefs would have on regardless. But 360 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 4: I think it took away a shot at the Titans 361 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 4: having the drive the field for the cover. That's all 362 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 4: I'll say about it. But it didn't affect the outcome 363 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 4: of the game. But back to your point, Yeah, I 364 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 4: think the coaching will be a factor. Read off of 365 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 4: a bye has been profitable, has cooked up new things. 366 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 4: But Shanahan off of a bye, we don't have a 367 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 4: big sample size, but we do know what he does 368 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 4: do is draw up very unique running s games, pre 369 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 4: stat motion, play action, and that's the weakness of the 370 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 4: Chiefs defense. 371 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 2: So I don't know. 372 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 4: I feel like it's almost a wash at this point. 373 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 4: I don't know if there's anything that the Chiefs defense 374 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 4: can do from a run defense perspective, especially given the 375 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 4: fact that the forty nine ers are gonna come out 376 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 4: there with new looks and new schemes and new motion, 377 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 4: and the Chiefs run defense just stinks. Look at it 378 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 4: player by player. We talked about it all year, player 379 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 4: by player. They could sell out on it, but they're 380 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 4: terrible at guarding tight ends too, and they're facing Kittle. 381 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 2: So we'll see. 382 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 4: I think both coaches will have some things drawn up 383 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 4: that the other defense hasn't seen. So I don't think 384 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 4: that the bye week is going to be a huge 385 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 4: advantage to other team. I think it's going to be 386 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 4: a big disadvantage to both defenses. But I don't think 387 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 4: it's going to decide the game either way. 388 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: Why what are your thoughts to read off of bys 389 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: just because you know there's still a limited sample size 390 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: and he's just so much better than almost every coach 391 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: in the NFL period and so but in this situation, like, yeah, 392 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan is essentially capable of the same things Andy 393 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: Reid is and Roberts I mean with what he's working with. 394 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: And I think Steve Spagnola, the defensive coordinator of the Chiefs, 395 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: has actually been if you're taking out Robert Salad maybe 396 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: and he's working with more talent, Like I think Spagnola 397 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: deserves a lot of praise as like the best defensive 398 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 1: coordinator this year, given what he's working with and what 399 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: he's kind of been able to kind of do and shift. 400 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: At one point, they're playing single high. One point, they're 401 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: playing split safety. At one point they're playing man. At 402 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: one point they're playing zone. Like so, yeah, I don't 403 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: think that. I think the coaching matchup is a wash. 404 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: And that's again that's why I keep coming back to 405 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: this is a coin flip game. Everything just kind of 406 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: lines up to where you know it's a wash. I 407 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: don't you know, there's not going to be a weather 408 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: effect or anything like that. The Chiefs run defense is 409 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: the weakest, but their pass offense is the strongest, and 410 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: we know pass offense is the most important thing. But 411 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers are still very good because of 412 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: their concepts. So overall it's it's a very close game. 413 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: I would probably like if I was giving somebody advice 414 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: to bet this game right now, I would just say 415 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: take the points with whatever. This is that kind of 416 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: game where it's it's a take the points game. You know, 417 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: if the Chiefs end up closing as an underdog, I 418 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: think he takes the chief It looks like the forty 419 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: nine Ers probably will close as the underdog. The markets, 420 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: it's been a little under rating the forty nine is 421 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: more so than the Chiefs. So the Chiefs have been 422 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: the most profitable team against the spread this year. They're 423 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: twelve five and one. The forty nine is eleven six 424 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: and one. But the forty nine Ers are covering by 425 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: about six point nine points a game and the Chiefs 426 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: are covering by about four point six. So you know, 427 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: there's been a little bit of an edge with the 428 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,399 Speaker 1: forty nine Ers. From from the straight up margin of victory, 429 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 1: but both of these teams have been extremely profitable to bet. 430 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 3: It's a coin flip. 431 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 1: And any edges maybe since we kind of both agree 432 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: that this is a close spread, any edges as far 433 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: as either the total or maybe like a first half, 434 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 1: first quarter or anything like that. 435 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 2: No, I mean, we're gonna get it. We're gonna have 436 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 2: a whole Super Bowl episode. 437 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 4: I'm telling you right now, I'm leading Chiefs, but I 438 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 4: don't want to throw out like a full lean or 439 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 4: a bet without going into it all after today and 440 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 4: being emotional. And that's basically what I'm what I want 441 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 4: this episode to be about, is that we're gonna have props. 442 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 4: We're gonna have every prop you can imagine. We're gonna 443 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 4: have matchups. We're gonna spend the next two weeks looking 444 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 4: at this game. And this line isn't sitting at six 445 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 4: and a half. Maybe gonna go to seven or seven 446 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 4: a half right where there's some urgency that's not this line. 447 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 4: This line is picked to one and a half, and 448 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 4: if it does get the three listen people that are 449 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 4: listening to this podcast aren't betting a million dollars, which, 450 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 4: if you want you can go out there and find 451 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 4: a way to been a million dollars in the Super Bowl, 452 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 4: and if the line gets a three, you might have 453 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 4: someone go out there and bet a million dollars on 454 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 4: it and it will last for maybe two seconds. So 455 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 4: my point is to most casual betters, some that are 456 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 4: a little more sophisticated, the casual betters, there's not gonna 457 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 4: be a three that persists right without a major injury 458 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 4: or something that I don't foresee. So we have time. 459 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 4: There's a trillion College of Basketball games between now and 460 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 4: the super Bowl. There's a trillion NBA teams that will 461 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 4: quit in the second half between now and the super Bowl. 462 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 4: There are thirteen shootouts that will happen between now and 463 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 4: the super Bowl. 464 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 2: There's the Australian Open. 465 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 4: There's so many things that you can bet on between 466 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 4: now and the super Bowl, and they're not going to 467 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 4: cross a key number, and you can bet all of 468 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 4: the props. 469 00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 2: We're gonna have all of that. 470 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be up to the off, so you gonna 471 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 3: be there, yeah, believe. 472 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 4: So I'll be up there with Raybaund We'll record some 473 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 4: stuff up there live during the Super Bowl. 474 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I should just mention everybody. 475 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: So this episode reacting to the games, reacting to the 476 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 1: initial opening lines of the Super Bowl, and then we 477 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: will come to you January thirtieth with our full Super 478 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 1: Bowl breakdown, will have Sean Corner will be on.

So we'll 505 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 4: send a side, a total, and a prop to our producer. 506 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 4: If we have any one of the same, you win. 507 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 4: If not, I have to win all three and you 508 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 4: have to lose all three for me to win. 509 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 2: And because we. 510 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 4: Don't want collusion, even though we wouldn't do that, we 511 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,239 Speaker 4: still will have our favorite side, total and prop on 512 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 4: that episode next week and we will break down other 513 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,959 Speaker 4: props colore. I mean, we're gonna spend the next ten 514 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 4: days doing that. So we record on Wednesday, it'll come 515 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 4: out on Thursday. I'll just end with this because I 516 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 4: do want to get your thoughts on this ready. So 517 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 4: Richard Sherman, who I respect and love watching, and he 518 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 4: got burnt and he really pissed me off. The other 519 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 4: week when he was preaching to the press about how 520 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 4: great he was and how everyone hates him. He made 521 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 4: some good points because he said that there are people 522 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 4: out there that wanted him to fail right early on 523 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 4: in his career, and he didn't, so there are people 524 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 4: that now look for ways. 525 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 2: To tear him down. 526 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 4: They're like, oh, you play in his own you're getting older, 527 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 4: You're sitting out there and cover three and go cover 528 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 4: four now, blah blah blah. 529 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 2: And he keeps putting up elite numbers. You can look 530 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 2: at the. 531 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: Number one cornerback in Pro football focus is agree this 532 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: same look at his touchdowns, giving up his interceptions in 533 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs. 534 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 4: And I really want your true opinion on this because 535 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 4: I'm conafflicted on this because I see how great he is. 536 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,880 Speaker 4: But my favorite athlete of all time who I used 537 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 4: to see some tickets to the Ravens for fucking so 538 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 4: many years, traveled to rogans A is Ed Reid, and 539 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 4: I used to go spotlight that man, like my favorite 540 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 4: athlete of all time. Not once in my fucking life 541 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 4: did I ever hear him go in a press conference 542 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 4: and tell people this is how great I am. Why 543 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 4: do you think I'm not great. He just went out 544 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 4: and performed. It's very odd to me that Sherman went 545 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 4: on that rant. I just w your thoughts on it. 546 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: I mean, that's always kind of been his thing. You know, 547 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: he's he's the guy that will talk and back it up. 548 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: I think that the reason he probably did it is, 549 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: you know, let's remember how bad this defense was last year. 550 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: If you looked at Sherman's numbers, no one threw him 551 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: and he was fine generally, and everyone's kind of the 552 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 1: narrative was kind of he's done, he's too slow this 553 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: that the third. So I think he just kind of 554 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: wanted to set that straight. And I think he actually 555 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: revels in the spotlight. 556 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 3: Now, yeah, he got. 557 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: Beat by Devonte Adams, I think there was he was 558 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: expecting help from Tart because Tart did like bite to 559 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: the inside before recovering. I don't know exactly what blame 560 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: goes to who, but I think that Sherman he's a 561 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: guy where if he talks, you still kind of expect 562 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: him to back it up. Now that being said, I mean, 563 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: but isn't Sherman he can't cover Tyreek Hill when I won. 564 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 4: But isn't Sherman a wide receiver in his mindset, so 565 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 4: wide receiver. Greats do that, you know what I mean. 566 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 4: Name another Hall of Fame which Sherman is. Name another 567 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 4: Hall of Fame defender that does that. It goes out 568 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 4: and says, look at me, look at what I've done. 569 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 3: Sanders Now, I mean Dean Sanders was the talk he was. 570 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 3: He talked a tough he was prime time Sandy. He 571 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: high stepped to the end, so he talked on the 572 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 3: field off of it. 573 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 4: But everyone knew how great Dean standards. This is why 574 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 4: I've conflicted. People did try to tear down Sherman. But 575 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 4: it's just weird to me that Sherman he still has 576 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 4: his chip, which I guess is a good thing and 577 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 4: why he's still performing. 578 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 3: But yeah, I. 579 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 4: Found I found it odd that he still had to 580 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 4: say all you hate, still are still hating on me 581 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 4: and like, but I guess people still do. 582 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I feel like Sherman has 583 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 2: proved himself by now. 584 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: But you also got to remember, like Edred didn't necessarily 585 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: have the like. So like when Sherman, you know, kind 586 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: of was yelling after the everything and he got villainized, 587 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 1: you know, So I think that's part of it. 588 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 3: It's just me. It's more media narrative than anything. 589 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: Like I think even when he made a really good 590 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: play then he was like yelling at Er and Andrews 591 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: and the media was like villainizing him, and he was like, 592 00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, it's just kind of like 593 00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 1: one of those things where I think he's just trying 594 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: to set the rectray. But you could say, like like again, 595 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: you could say, okay, but who's doing what Term's doing 596 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: on the field, No one really, So. 597 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 2: No, that's fair. 598 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 4: I mean, ed Reid was a fucking all start Miami 599 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 4: when Miami was actually respectable. Richard Sermon with the Stanford right, 600 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 4: so like Edery never had that, Like all right, I 601 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 4: went to Stanford. People don't really know where I came 602 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 4: from and doubted me. 603 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 2: So I get that. Just want to hear your opinion 604 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 2: on it, That's all I offer tonight, man, all. 605 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 3: Right, yeah, let's get out of here again.
