Speaker 1: Welcome to Sharper Square, presented by hard Rock Bet. We
Speaker 1: are part of the Volume podcast Network. This is the
Speaker 1: show that makes the square sharper and makes the wise
Speaker 1: guys pay attention.
Speaker 2: I am Chadmlman.
Speaker 1: I am joined as always by my bff, my companion,
Speaker 1: Mike ca Padre, my co host professional better sign Man Hunter.
Speaker 3: Hello, So I am in Chad. How are we doing?
Speaker 2: My brother?
Speaker 1: I am rocking the Indiana University hoodie today because man,
Speaker 1: my alma mater did all.
Speaker 2: Of us proud.
Speaker 1: We had our first ever Indiana football Gus Johnson moment.
Speaker 1: It was brilliant, it was ecstatic, it was glorious. I
Speaker 1: cannot believe it actually happened. Heisman Doza menia is real.
Speaker 1: This is what it's like to be a college football fan,
Speaker 1: my friend to have graduated from a college football school.
Speaker 3: It was a credible game. I had Penn State.
Speaker 4: Didn't want to text you beforehand and letting you know, hey,
Speaker 4: this might be a trap spot for your team. I
Speaker 4: was glad I didn't because I had halftime. You guys
Speaker 4: were up ten and lamentum felt like it was going
Speaker 4: your way. But it's it's always funny. Watching these games
Speaker 4: is it Gus Johnson, the guy's name.
Speaker 3: That calls the games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah.
Speaker 3: He cracks me up because he is this.
Speaker 4: I mean, everyone knows he's the He goes insane and
Speaker 4: goes crazy. He also does these like non sequitors that
Speaker 4: are just hilarious to me. He'd be like, this guy
Speaker 4: was homeless eating trash just nine months ago. He is
Speaker 4: now has an interception in this game. What an amazing story.
Speaker 4: What a brow parent his parents must be.
Speaker 1: And it's like huge, and then it's third and two.
Speaker 3: And it's like the most insane thing.
Speaker 1: I watched the clips of Gus Johnson again and again
Speaker 1: and again and again because he literally lost his breath.
Speaker 1: It was it was so wonderful as an Indiana football
Speaker 1: and you didn't need to tell me it was a
Speaker 1: trap game. My Indiana text chain. The last comment from
Speaker 1: like a group of thirteen people from one of my
Speaker 1: buddies who went to IU with me, it was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not liking the metrics here. I don't like the
Speaker 1: way this looks. And I didn't want to say to
Speaker 1: him it's gonna be okay, And then I'm glad I
Speaker 1: didn't because it got ugly there for a second.
Speaker 2: But then you know, we hoosiered. That's what we do.
Speaker 3: Who's the great game? Are you?
Speaker 2: This is the strip down in the room.
Speaker 1: He's dropping version of Sharper Square. We're going to make
Speaker 1: some final picks. We're gonna make our final five. Now
Speaker 1: that some injuries have been reported, lines have moved, you know, quickly.
Speaker 1: We debated the Broncos heavily. Fortunately we did not put
Speaker 1: them in. I thought we were going to go there.
Speaker 1: You thought we were going to go there. We had
Speaker 1: a quick conversation. We decided it was not the way
Speaker 1: to go. So we got a full slate of five.
Speaker 2: We got to pick. Are you ready, my brother?
Speaker 3: Yes, sir?
Speaker 2: All right? So Minnesota Baltimore.
Speaker 1: We've been talking about this one back and forth, back
Speaker 1: and forth on the show, and felt like the number
Speaker 1: was getting too high. And now it's come back down
Speaker 1: to three and a half, and it's three and a
Speaker 1: half everywhere we'd want to play it. That's super hard
Speaker 1: not to be tempted by Baltimore up minus three and
Speaker 1: a half. And even though I know the wise guys
Speaker 1: are chirping about Minnesota and it's kind of moved in
Speaker 1: Minnesota's way.
Speaker 2: The last twenty four hours.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this will be our biggest public bet of the week,
Speaker 4: no doubt. Both love the Ravens. Can't believe it's come
Speaker 4: back down to or it is. Maybe we're missing something
Speaker 4: here right with this Ravens defense and their problems aren't
Speaker 4: fixed and this is gonna be a good match for KOC.
Speaker 4: But I just you're betting on it feels like you're
Speaker 4: betting on lightning to strike twice if you're back in
Speaker 4: JJ mccarth and this Vikings team after last week in
Speaker 4: lines and we see.
Speaker 3: These things happen in football a time, right.
Speaker 4: These professionals lock on the teams that go on these
Speaker 4: little runs and they get in these little streaks, and
Speaker 4: I think that's what they're looking for here. With JJ
Speaker 4: joining back this Vikings team and maybe getting a little
Speaker 4: role here, we're I think we're in sick. On the
Speaker 4: flip side, it just feels like this is a great
Speaker 4: spot for this Ravens team. The line doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4: We're getting great value on it at four and a half.
Speaker 4: I think we both were avoiding this one, but not
Speaker 4: minus three and a half. It's just too good to
Speaker 4: pass on that opportunity.
Speaker 1: Lamar against the Blints against the Blint against the Blints,
Speaker 1: it's not Sunday morning at the Delhi. Lamar against the
Speaker 1: Blitz has been brilliant the past couple of years, best
Speaker 1: than football, and in his limited time this year, absolutely
Speaker 1: beyond brilliant. So I like the matchup, all.
Speaker 4: The matchups, like even diving into it, like all the numbers.
Speaker 4: It's great run. I just like the floor is the
Speaker 4: name the defensive game. Floors is gonna need here, and
Speaker 4: the coaching the caseesn need. Offensively, they're gonna need to
Speaker 4: be perfect. That's what we're fading them being perfect here
Speaker 4: where it's it's gonna be the most public side we're
Speaker 4: gonna be on this week, no doubt.
Speaker 1: Great Baltimore minus three and a half that is in
Speaker 1: New England at Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay, Dude, this was
Speaker 1: chat choice. I cannot believe it's still sitting at two
Speaker 1: and a half.
Speaker 2: It frustrates me to know.
Speaker 1: And the more I think about this game, the more
Speaker 1: I feel like the Bucks are the side here.
Speaker 4: I know you're with me, Yeah, I'm with you. Tons
Speaker 4: of pushback this week about this line for us. The
Speaker 4: pros are obviously on the other side. They love the Patriots.
Speaker 4: They of them catching points here. They actually view these
Speaker 4: two teams as equals, which is shocking to me. I
Speaker 4: just have such a higher grade on this book. So yeah,
Speaker 4: we could be missing it here. Maybe what their view
Speaker 4: is that the Bucks will come out slow. This is
Speaker 4: a bad spot for them coming out of the bye
Speaker 4: week against a new one team that's just been a
Speaker 4: well aweayed machine these last couple of weeks. Ready, when
Speaker 4: they play bad, they're still squeaking out wins. So I
Speaker 4: guess the pro see, Hey.
Speaker 3: Really good competitive Raabel team here catching two and a
Speaker 3: half points. We should we should take it. But we're aligned.
Speaker 4: It's like this Bucks team, the veterans they are, They're
Speaker 4: easily gonna make this a one sided game. They're gonna
Speaker 4: make Drake may beat them. Right, we already know vidave
Speaker 4: taken away that rung game. It's going to be the
Speaker 4: number one priority here. So our biggest question is do
Speaker 4: we get Baker after you know, two three weeks, did
Speaker 4: he get his body right?
Speaker 3: And that's what we were betting into the unknown year.
Speaker 4: That's probably the only fear for me is we just
Speaker 4: don't know the full health of Baker, and we know
Speaker 4: he was banged up heading into this he just did
Speaker 4: not look right two games heading into the Spy a
Speaker 4: week so under a field goal.
Speaker 3: Like you said, it's it's it's too tempting not to
Speaker 3: pass this one.
Speaker 4: So yeah, two favorites for us this week, Ravens Bucks
Speaker 4: love them both well.
Speaker 1: Look also, Remandre Stevenson is out, Kayshawn Booty is out,
Speaker 1: and Booty's been Drake May's down the field security blanket
Speaker 1: even more than Stefan Diggs for this Patriots offense going deep,
Speaker 1: deep down field.
Speaker 2: So we'll see how much of.
Speaker 1: An impact that has on the game and the Patriots
Speaker 1: as well. All Right, our brass balls bet of the
Speaker 1: week press by hard Rock Bett was the Arizona Cardinals
Speaker 1: at plus six and.
Speaker 2: A half at Seattle. We're still in it. We're still
Speaker 2: in this game.
Speaker 1: There are actually sevens, even some seven and a half's
Speaker 1: out there on Arizona. I would recommend you take those.
Speaker 1: We're both going to be on Arizona here. We like
Speaker 1: the Cardinals plus six and a half in this spot
Speaker 1: at Seattle.
Speaker 4: And like we keep saying, sharpest book, hard rock only
Speaker 4: book right now with the minus six and or plus
Speaker 4: six and a half for the Cardinals in Jersey.
Speaker 3: Every other book is seven.
Speaker 4: Like Chad said, there's one book out there still seven
Speaker 4: and a half, but they're going out of business, so
Speaker 4: they're trying to get as much money as they can
Speaker 4: at this point.
Speaker 3: It's interesting though.
Speaker 4: Like we've talked about, I thought this would be seven
Speaker 4: to seven and a half once it was. Jacoby Wes said,
Speaker 4: just because it's a love affair with the Seahawks team.
Speaker 4: This whole week, it's just been joke the Chad there.
Speaker 4: People are loving the DBA score of the Sea Ox team.
Speaker 4: They're the highest rated team in like ten years, one
Speaker 4: years in the top five. It's it's just all love
Speaker 4: for this team and people are gonna see a theme here.
Speaker 4: We think this division NFC West, all these divisional games
Speaker 4: will be close. It just feels like it's gonna be
Speaker 4: the pattern for the season. And we're banking out of here.
Speaker 4: We're taking a dog here in a matchup that you
Speaker 4: know defensively, this is actually this great matchup scheme wise
Speaker 4: for the Seayawks team. So I'm really exciting to see
Speaker 4: you if your covery per second keep doing what he's
Speaker 4: been doing, which is really attacking the middle of the field.
Speaker 4: That's the Seahawks' biggest weakness. They don't have many defensively.
Speaker 4: That is a weakness for them. In their secondary, you
Speaker 4: can attack the middle of the field. So we're set.
Speaker 4: Come on, buddy, don't fail us here, big big bet
Speaker 4: on him this week at six and a half.
Speaker 1: There is one fear is that the Cardinals secondary is
Speaker 1: still pretty depleted. They're missing a couple of key players,
Speaker 1: and that's a real opportunity for Sam Darnolds, who's just
Speaker 1: been lighting teams up and taking advantage of weaknesses defensively.
Speaker 1: But the flip side is the defensive line for the
Speaker 1: Cardinals has been getting much much better and they have
Speaker 1: been a physical team that has been keeping games close
Speaker 1: all year long. So that's another reason why there we're
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals side is they are not the kind
Speaker 1: of team that so far this year has let games
Speaker 1: get away from them, especially with Jacoby Brissett playing quarterback
Speaker 1: now and sort of entrenched as the starter on that team.
Speaker 1: All right, Los Angeles rams at the San Francisco forty
Speaker 1: nine Ers.
Speaker 2: The Niners are now six point underdogs at hard Rock
Speaker 2: that the San.
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers are going to be our rock
Speaker 1: in a Hard Place, Hard Rock, Better the Week a lot.
Speaker 1: I've been informed by our producer Matt Mitchell that our
Speaker 1: hard rock Rock and a Hard Place Better the Week
Speaker 1: has won six straight this game, Simon, it's going from
Speaker 1: three and a half to four, to four and a
Speaker 1: half to five, to five and a half to six.
Speaker 1: We're betting on the team that the line is going
Speaker 1: away from where we would like it to be, going
Speaker 1: to show how good we think this number is. Because
Speaker 1: six scares me the fact that so much money is
Speaker 1: coming in on the RAMS.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it is about looking at the matchups right
Speaker 4: when you're really breaking it down for this RAMS team. Defensively,
Speaker 4: you expect them to be able to get after Mac Jones.
Speaker 4: This should be a really good matchup for their front.
Speaker 4: They're really good against the run, which that's another thing.
Speaker 4: If they can take that away, that's a huge deal.
Speaker 4: And offensively, Stafford's playing at MVP level. So I get
Speaker 4: why professionals in the public are coming in on this
Speaker 4: RAMS team. I mean, we talked earlier in the week.
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe where it opened at three, but I
Speaker 4: said at three and a half, that's when you start
Speaker 4: making a four nine ers line and feels true right now.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw the news mac Jones
Speaker 4: was named the start of this weekend, brock Purty was questionable. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you want to eat some crow chat or no, you
Speaker 4: were so sure of yourself and just ripping me for
Speaker 4: my mac Jones take, which again isn't my take I
Speaker 4: was getting from other people. I don't want to believe
Speaker 4: in mac Jones, but my god, I couldn't want to
Speaker 4: see as I saw that.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, don't text chat. Save it for those shows.
Speaker 2: It's so funny.
Speaker 1: It's so funny you say that, because I did see
Speaker 1: the news, and by the way, then the number moved
Speaker 1: off of the mac Jones announcement. I couldn't find any
Speaker 1: other reason for the number to move like it moved
Speaker 1: literally that second's fair, And I was surprised by it
Speaker 1: because I thought this was already a mac Jones line
Speaker 1: like to me. I saw the news and I thought
Speaker 1: of you, and I was like, but this isn't really
Speaker 1: news to me, like I expected mac Jones to be starting.
Speaker 1: I think they've said this injury with perty has been
Speaker 1: lingering to me. I'm still seeing it at face value.
Speaker 1: You're seeing it as a Kyler Murray situation, which is
Speaker 1: different to me than brock Perty is all of a
Speaker 1: sudden going to be on the bench because they'd rather
Speaker 1: be playing Mac Jones.
Speaker 4: I just do the tenement full of hat on because
Speaker 4: I thought this was a possibility and people had told
Speaker 4: me it. I was shocked that Cheney and just put
Speaker 4: it out there so nonchalantly that like they're both practicing
Speaker 4: Pretty's questionable regardless the starters Mac Jones this week, but
Speaker 4: it's also it could be like we always say the
Speaker 4: Hens to the wolves, right, they're just rather than putting
Speaker 4: Pretty out on a horrible spot, yeah and him getting demolished,
Speaker 4: maybe let mac Jones go out there look terrible. So
Speaker 4: now you don't have to question the team can't question you.
Speaker 4: Now give them the job back to Purdy and yeah
Speaker 4: again we have a we'll come back around we go
Speaker 4: to our final five.
Speaker 3: I have another opinion on this game.
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, all right, Buffalo at Miami, Dude, this one's
Speaker 1: moving down a little bit. It's nine and a half
Speaker 1: in a lot of places, but it's nine at hard
Speaker 1: Rock Bat. You've been trying to convince me on this
Speaker 1: game all week. I know Miami is the right side.
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I still have not bet it. I have,
Speaker 1: like I just I've every single day I go and
Speaker 1: I look at the lines, and I go to bed
Speaker 1: this game and I cannot get my thumb to press
Speaker 1: except on the button when I finally have to make
Speaker 1: a decision.
Speaker 3: I hate it too, but it's what we do. It's
Speaker 3: a long term winner.
Speaker 4: We know the data backs it up when you dive
Speaker 4: into the matchups.
Speaker 3: It's a good matchup.
Speaker 4: And I think we just both have the same fear
Speaker 4: where we just do not like this Miami team.
Speaker 3: We don't trust the SAMI team.
Speaker 4: We don't trust to We're worried they've simply quit it
Speaker 4: on this team in the season and they're just terrible
Speaker 4: and every out, So I get why you're scared, and
Speaker 4: we have even mentioned it. They were whole secondary is
Speaker 4: like injured as well, and they just give away their
Speaker 4: number one pass rush for Miami.
Speaker 3: So there's a lot to be negative here. But it's
Speaker 3: again all about trusting the line.
Speaker 4: It's just a big, big number, and Josh Allen tends
Speaker 4: to not cover them, especially in a letdown spot after
Speaker 4: such an emotional game the previous week. But could we
Speaker 4: usually get rolled here by forty points. Jed, Yes, that's
Speaker 4: that's life betting these ugly, gross dogs. I've come to
Speaker 4: terms with it. But I just love this line so much,
Speaker 4: And like you said, it's luckily in moving with us.
Speaker 4: So if this got to ten, I would be honestly scared,
Speaker 4: because that would be mean, that would mean there's a
Speaker 4: lot of professional love on this Bills team. Luckily, this
Speaker 4: is a couple of books in Jersey. I've already moved
Speaker 4: to eight and a half, so this seems like this
Speaker 4: is really a prosrus Joe's line, which I thought it
Speaker 4: would be a long term feels like we're on the
Speaker 4: right side here. I know that scares you with contest
Speaker 4: place because you're trying to just live for this week,
Speaker 4: but I just love this spot from Miami. We've just
Speaker 4: seen time and time again Tua on these homesteads. He
Speaker 4: bounces back and I gave you that crazy stat and
Speaker 4: I know it's a small stample in his career. On
Speaker 4: the second back to back game after a loss, when
Speaker 4: he's underdog once again, three and oh straight up, three
Speaker 4: and three and oh against the spread, So I don't
Speaker 4: know if he's gonna win this one, but I think
Speaker 4: they keep it close, and that backdoor opportunity is always
Speaker 4: going to be there against this suspect Bills defense, all.
Speaker 2: Right, So.
Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time finding a fifth, to be honest.
Speaker 1: We also talked a little bit about the Giants and
Speaker 1: the Bears. That game had gotten up to four and
Speaker 1: a half Giants plus four and a half at Chicago.
Speaker 2: It's going to be clear for the game.
Speaker 1: Snow right now, but it's supposed to clear up for
Speaker 1: the game. It's going to be very cold, thirty four degrees.
Speaker 1: It's going to feel much colder because the wins are
Speaker 1: going to be fifteen.
Speaker 2: Miles an hour.
Speaker 1: This is shaping up to be the kind of game
Speaker 1: where the expectation is it's going to be two teams
Speaker 1: trying to run the ball a lot. And obviously, the
Speaker 1: Bears rush offense has been so good amongst the best
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and the Giants rush defense is literally
Speaker 1: the worst in the NFL, so that's what worries me.
Speaker 1: But the Bears defense is so bad that I do
Speaker 1: think Jackson Dart will find opportunities to keep this game close.
Speaker 1: I can't get this one out of my head. Like
Speaker 1: the weather's not going to be something that I think
Speaker 1: scares us. In fact, it could just play to an
Speaker 1: advantage for both teams and not making stupid mistakes through
Speaker 1: the air.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, and I still looked. You know, I
Speaker 4: think up there is a show just to take a
Speaker 4: position on the under. I believe it was forty seven
Speaker 4: or forty six and a half at that point, and
Speaker 4: you said it's come down. Now it's up the it's
Speaker 4: down to forty five and a half. So still some
Speaker 4: value there in my opinion if those wins are gonna
Speaker 4: be what it is. And my biggest issue with the
Speaker 4: Giants is their secondary has their own rash of injuries.
Speaker 4: Another secondary I couldn't afford to have a ton of injuries. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and as much as hay as we like to give Caleb,
Speaker 4: he is good at pushing the ball down the field,
Speaker 4: and like when he plays within the offense, you have
Speaker 4: a coach that schemes it up that the first read
Speaker 4: is usually wide open, whether it be your tight end
Speaker 4: streaking down the middle, a room of dunes, or you
Speaker 4: know DJ Moore like there's you guys just have so
Speaker 4: many weapons. I mean, it's why you're a top five,
Speaker 4: top ten offense right now, So I get where you're
Speaker 4: coming from. If this was no bad weather, I honestly
Speaker 4: would you on the giants here take a position on
Speaker 4: But I just can't get there. And you're on the
Speaker 4: side of the professionals. I'm kind of on the side
Speaker 4: of the public area. I'm liking the bears.
Speaker 2: All right, let's let's take a quick word from hard rock.
Speaker 1: And then we got to make our final five decision here.
Speaker 1: Today's show is brought to you by our new presenting sponsor,
Speaker 1: hard Rock Bet. It's that time of year when every

Speaker 1: know as a gambling problem and wants helped, call one
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine with it gambling problem called one
Speaker 1: eight hundred gambler on Arizona, Coloradolano in New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee,
Speaker 1: or Virginia. All right, so we know we like Baltimore
Speaker 1: minus three and a half. We know we like the
Speaker 1: Bucks minus two and a half. We know we like
Speaker 1: Arizona plus six and a half. I'm leaving it up
Speaker 1: to you with Miami plus nine and a half, So
Speaker 1: that's four in So what did you want to say
Speaker 1: about San Francisco. That's going to make me feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: So we would be taking them in a bad line
Speaker 4: in our contest. Unfortunately it is three and a half.
Speaker 4: So that's that's a tough one. We already on very
Speaker 4: two very public sides and the Bucks and the Ravens,
Speaker 4: even though at the last week I swore we wouldn't
Speaker 4: be on super public sides. Again, at least we don't
Speaker 4: have the lines, and even I do the Lion spot
Speaker 4: There's one more very public dog we haven't talked about
Speaker 4: that is the Eagles. The Eagles, which we were both
Speaker 4: have been on green Bay. We like it as a
Speaker 4: green Bay spot. We like the match for green Bay.
Speaker 4: But it does matter. Injuries do matter, no Tucker Craft
Speaker 4: a couple injuries to their defense, Golden is a game
Speaker 4: time decision.
Speaker 3: A J.
Speaker 2: Brown is playing for the Eagles, Phillips.
Speaker 4: A big ass that they just traded for Brandon Graham.
Speaker 4: Like they got a bunch of guys back to that
Speaker 4: defensive line. Nolan Smith, you said AJ Brown's back, Saquon's
Speaker 4: fully healthy. The only guy that's missing aser center, which
Speaker 4: again hasn't been that big of a deal. The guy
Speaker 4: that's replaced them has actually played pretty well. It's an
Speaker 4: interesting spot. Like we both like the forty nine ers.
Speaker 4: We like the number, but it's a bad number where
Speaker 4: we could be taking the Philly Eagles here at a
Speaker 4: good number, and that number is moving to one one
Speaker 4: and a half or minus a half now in the Eagles.
Speaker 4: So that's that's that's tough to and a week we're
Speaker 4: taking a lot of bad lines. We could take a
Speaker 4: good one here in the Eagles, or are we are
Speaker 4: we doing. Are we sucking ourselves in here taking these
Speaker 4: three chalky chalky lines?
Speaker 3: We know their chalk.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look, this is why the show is so hard, like
Speaker 1: on a Sunday morning in real time, trying to make
Speaker 1: this decision right now when it's against I'm on the
Speaker 1: Packers at minus two and a half, like I got.
Speaker 1: I got a bad line on the Packers so and
Speaker 1: I didn't buy out of it. So I'm going to
Speaker 1: be rooting against myself and you're going to be rooting
Speaker 1: against yourself. And we know we're getting the better line
Speaker 1: with the Eagles, and we know it's probably the rational
Speaker 1: thing to do versus.
Speaker 2: Just wanting it to be the Niners.
Speaker 4: I know we're dug inting here on the Niners. That's
Speaker 4: my That's what I'm trying to ward us off. Like
Speaker 4: last week I didn't us off enough, and this week
Speaker 4: I'm trying to do it.
Speaker 2: So but what does that mean? What us off? Is that? Like,
Speaker 2: all right, here's the.
Speaker 4: Warrings, no problem, we're telling people to take them five
Speaker 4: and a half and get the six. But is it
Speaker 4: really smart of us to put him in a three
Speaker 4: and a half in this contest? No, it's stupid right,
Speaker 4: So that's.
Speaker 3: What I'm trying to protect us from that.
Speaker 4: And even if it hits again, good We've all won money,
Speaker 4: We've all taken the forty nine years year. I'm just
Speaker 4: trying to play Devil's advocate of the Eagles. That's a
Speaker 4: good number. And when we talked about them, I didn't
Speaker 4: think aji back. I thought they would have injuries, and
Speaker 4: you know, getting guys back like Dolan Smith.
Speaker 3: And trading for a guy like Phillips, that's a huge upgrade.
Speaker 4: We've seen the line reflect that despite it being such
Speaker 4: a pro spot for Green Bay, the lines moved a
Speaker 4: point and a half, two points. So again, I just
Speaker 4: wanted to bring that one up because I'm not here
Speaker 4: to for I'm not trying to force the Lions in.
Speaker 4: If I'm going to force a game in, even though
Speaker 4: I'm against it, betting and wise, I guess.
Speaker 3: It's the Eagles, all right, Let's do the Eagles. Doing
Speaker 3: the Eagles.
Speaker 1: We're doing the Eagles because we're getting a much better
Speaker 1: number in the contest. That's really what we're talking about here.
Speaker 1: So the final five, Jesus, I can't believe. That's such
Speaker 1: a shock to me. I can't believe two minutes ago.
Speaker 1: I did not see us putting the Eagles in Baltimore
Speaker 1: minus three and a half, Bucks minus two and a half,
Speaker 1: Arizona six and a half, Miami nine and a half.
Speaker 1: It's on you, brother, Philadelphia plus two and a half.
Speaker 2: That's on Monday night.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to torture ourselves and wait for
Speaker 1: Monday night football. I don't even know if I'll be
Speaker 1: able to watch the game. It might take me eighty
Speaker 1: five tries and four different passwords, and god knows how
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be able to watch this game on ESPN.
Speaker 2: But we're gonna have to figure out a way.
Speaker 3: I might have you have to watch your iPad nfl out.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to put a fucking paper clip in
Speaker 1: my you know, coaxial cable line or whatever.
Speaker 2: All right, that's where we're at.
