Speaker 1: Check it down, man down. Then good Monday morning too.
Speaker 1: It is a numbers game right here at dudes in
Speaker 1: these sports betting network Visa dot Com, Visa that Football,
Speaker 1: It's league a game plus. I mentioned this skill, Alexander.
Speaker 1: I think I did. Jason conn is here as well,
Speaker 1: producing number seven. How you doing, Jason? I can't hear you. Jason?
Speaker 1: Are you my here? Morning two? You know we hear you.
Speaker 1: There we go, Good morning, Jason, Quickly developing the reputation
Speaker 1: of getting every detail prepared for the show Survivor of
Speaker 1: the Visa Store, the promost, you name the detail, he's
Speaker 1: got it. And then right before the show, what do
Speaker 1: you You're like? Oh, I forgot to call Chris a
Speaker 1: little bit of a head smack moment. But we got
Speaker 1: everything in order, about three or four of those. Now
Speaker 1: that's that's your new thing. There's just one thing I'm forgetting.
Speaker 1: I can't remember what it is. Uh. It is guessing
Speaker 1: lines for week fifty. That's what we do on Monday's
Speaker 1: here doing football season. We'll look ahead to uh week fifteen,
Speaker 1: our tribute to the old stardust radio show of that ILK,
Speaker 1: where Chrissy will post the actual line at the south
Speaker 1: Point Chris Andrews. That is, right after the show, I
Speaker 1: will I've been in the coon, I will take a
Speaker 1: guess as what I think it will be. And within
Speaker 1: that exercise, prior to him telling us what he will
Speaker 1: actually put on, we hope to extract some value. Usually
Speaker 1: our first instincts our best. Oftentimes that is the case,
Speaker 1: and then we fool ourselves the rest of the week
Speaker 1: talking ourselves out of it. But that's the way doing.
Speaker 1: Of course, in the process will look back at another
Speaker 1: wacky week in the National Football League Week four team.
Speaker 1: Let's bring him in. The star of the show, my
Speaker 1: mish bocha who runs the south Point Hotel Casino sports book.
Speaker 1: Right here at the tip of the strip, it's Chris Andrews. Everybody,
Speaker 1: how you doing Chris? Good morning, I'm doing great, Yo.
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm doing well. Let's get the let's
Speaker 1: get the sort of details out of the way. How
Speaker 1: the book do? Uh did okay? Actually not great? But
Speaker 1: you know, we held more than we're probably entitled to.
Speaker 1: The uh. We had a lot going into the Buffalo
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh game last night, and even though we were very
Speaker 1: evenly booked on that game. UH. The only thing we
Speaker 1: really needed was for it to fall out of the
Speaker 1: teaser bracket. It looked like a great teaser game, you know,
Speaker 1: going into it really did, and it did fall out
Speaker 1: of the bracket both with the total and the point spread.
Speaker 1: So that capped off a pretty good night. But all
Speaker 1: in all, no complaints, good day. Yeah, Buffalo ended up
Speaker 1: being a really good result for me. That ended up
Speaker 1: being a fine, fine end to the weekend of what
Speaker 1: was choppy a t s otherwise, but a survive, but
Speaker 1: a survivor survival once again. We'll get into all that
Speaker 1: as the show goes on. Let us begin, Chrissy, because
Speaker 1: we got sixteen games to get to. We'll talk about yesterday,
Speaker 1: everything that's happened in week fourteen. We'll look ahead here
Speaker 1: in a week fifteen. Let us begin with Thursday, my friend, Thursday,
Speaker 1: we have the Chargers at the Raiders, the Raiders with
Speaker 1: a new defensive coordinator. I guess, yeah, that that was quick.
Speaker 1: I guess John Gruden took inspiration from what the Jets
Speaker 1: did across the field from him SST weekend was like oh,
Speaker 1: he was like a yeah, I'm told you could do
Speaker 1: that mid season. Let me do that. I'll fire by
Speaker 1: defense coordinator. Well, we start with the Chargers though, right
Speaker 1: charges at the Raiders, and it's funny that we have
Speaker 1: to start here, because uh, it is just amazing. It
Speaker 1: is amazing that this happens every week, this time in victory. Right.
Speaker 1: The Chargers do end up getting the win over the
Speaker 1: Falcons yesterday seventeen, So good on them for that. It's
Speaker 1: their first win versus a team with more than two
Speaker 1: wins all year long. So Mazoltov to you, l a Chargers.
Speaker 1: They went it on a badgeley forty three yard field goals.
Speaker 1: Time expired, but let's just go through it real quick.
Speaker 1: Twenty two seconds left and a half. The clock is stopped.
Speaker 1: There are no timeouts for the Chargers. A third and
Speaker 1: one at the Atlanta eight down seventeen to ten, all right,
Speaker 1: the Chargers decided to run the football. That's the first
Speaker 1: thing where you're like, oh, no, okay, but maybe even
Speaker 1: after the run, maybe it maybe if you bike it
Speaker 1: right afterwards, you know, maybe I'm just gonna give him
Speaker 1: a little leeway there. Um, you know, you can get
Speaker 1: away with this. But the clock keeps ticking and with
Speaker 1: about nine seconds left, they decided to rush the field
Speaker 1: goal unit. Out instead of taking a shot at the
Speaker 1: end zone, which they had time for. Of course, they
Speaker 1: don't get off a twenty five yard or before the
Speaker 1: clock goes to zero at the field goal. Units on
Speaker 1: the field, offensive players lollygagging on the way off the
Speaker 1: field would have been too many men on the field anyway,
Speaker 1: even if at the field goal had gone through. And
Speaker 1: then at the end tie game seventeen to seventeen, a
Speaker 1: Chargers pick l A gets the ball on its own
Speaker 1: twenty six with thirty seconds remaining because after Michael Davis
Speaker 1: picked off Matt Ryan's pass intended for Calvin Ridley an
Speaker 1: unnecessary roughness call, and nobody the announcer say nothing like
Speaker 1: this is That's exactly what the Chargers do. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: make it fifteen yards harder this time. They win in regulation. Nonetheless,
Speaker 1: Herbert justin Herbert directing his first game winning drive three
Speaker 1: or four passes on the drive, even more impressive considering
Speaker 1: he was without the starting right side of his offensive line,
Speaker 1: while receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams were also sidelined.
Speaker 1: He ends up thirty six forty two forty three, two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one pick. He was sackings Ekeler fifteen of seventy nine
Speaker 1: on the ground, nine catches for sixty seven yards. They
Speaker 1: were plus two in turnovers, and those are the big
Speaker 1: turnovers because Matt Ryan was throwing the ball away late.
Speaker 1: By the way, it's Gill, Alexander, Chris Andrews. This is
Speaker 1: guessing lines for Week fifteen in the NFL right here
Speaker 1: on a numbers game at Visa and Visa dot com.
Speaker 1: And the Visa app is how you watch us food
Speaker 1: bo slinging game plus is how you take us in. Otherwise, um,
Speaker 1: this is a tribute to the old Stardust radio show.
Speaker 1: As far as the Raiders are concerned, eighth game this season,
Speaker 1: the Raiders lose. I should probably say that at the top.
Speaker 1: The Raiders lose to the Colts, and they lose pretty
Speaker 1: badly in the end, forty four to twenty seven. Kept
Speaker 1: up with them the first half and then just couldn't
Speaker 1: in the second half. Eighth game this season, the Raiders
Speaker 1: have a laugh. Have allowed thirty plus points, the second
Speaker 1: most behind the Jets in that category. They've given up
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty points in their last four games with
Speaker 1: as you said in battle, defensive coordinator Paul Gunther's unit,
Speaker 1: yielding an average of three yards per game in that stretch.
Speaker 1: It cost him his job. After the game, Jon Gruden
Speaker 1: said no more of that. Relieved of his duties, only
Speaker 1: a last set can come back against the windless Jets.
Speaker 1: Remember last week have prevented the Raiders from going oh
Speaker 1: and four since they're six and three start of the season.
Speaker 1: Car three sixteen, two touchdowns, two picks, seven of eleven
Speaker 1: on third down, but they allowed Indianapolis to go eight
Speaker 1: of eleven on third down. Total yards, but they allowed
Speaker 1: indian Apples to have four hundred fifty six yards minus
Speaker 1: three in turnovers. That's all you need to know. Ten
Speaker 1: turnovers in their last three games. All of that said
Speaker 1: for a Thursday night game, must win for the Raiders.
Speaker 1: Chargers eliminated. I'll say the Raiders minus two and a half,
Speaker 1: just because I don't know where else to put it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my numbers come to two on the Raiders. However, I'm
Speaker 1: looking and I see it higher. It's three with a
Speaker 1: pretty strong juice on the favorite or three and a half.
Speaker 1: Probably three and a half is the predominant number. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna definitely open it on a lower rim and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open it at three, take a bet. Uh you
Speaker 1: know the Raiders, I mean, what do we expect their
Speaker 1: defense will improved? Round? Um? So the guy, so the
Speaker 1: other guy, he had all the answers, and he just
Speaker 1: was afraid to speak up during these defensive meetings. I'm
Speaker 1: not even sure where they named the defensive coordinator for
Speaker 1: this coming week. The defense just horrible. And you know
Speaker 1: evidently they you know, okay, they they can put points
Speaker 1: on the board. But like you said, they lost yesterday,
Speaker 1: and I thought they looked pretty bad that loss, and
Speaker 1: you go back the week before. I mean, they were
Speaker 1: pretty lucky to beat the Jets. I mean, come on,
Speaker 1: and just again you approved what they were yesterday too.
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll get to them a little later. So
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think three is a little I
Speaker 1: think that hy I'm gonna open at three just because
Speaker 1: I see three and a half out there. But I'm
Speaker 1: certainly gonna take a bet at minus three, uh before
Speaker 1: I'm moving on up a little bit. But yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: we're one game and going already. I liked your number
Speaker 1: a little bit. Thank you, Thank you very much. By
Speaker 1: the way, Rod Merridelli is now the interim defensive coordinator
Speaker 1: with the Raiders. Can you believe the Charger stuff? Chrissie though, Like,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just as it was happening. I was like,
Speaker 1: this real life? Is this happening again? We said the
Speaker 1: same thing. We're sitting there, you know, and we we
Speaker 1: really didn't need anything in that game, so we're just
Speaker 1: kind of laughing, you know. I mean, this looks like
Speaker 1: remember the old Blooper show that you know, uh, you
Speaker 1: know Mark Albert would yeah, I mean, it looks like
Speaker 1: a high school team. You know. He had half the
Speaker 1: team ready to pick a field goal and the other
Speaker 1: guys are running off, and so we spiked the ball
Speaker 1: to you know, I mean, it was it was comical,
Speaker 1: It really was. And it's it's sad because I think
Speaker 1: there's team has some talent. I think Anthony Lynn, I
Speaker 1: would assume is gonna be fired after this year, but
Speaker 1: that might be a team to watch out for next year.
Speaker 1: The Chargers. They got a new coach in there, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, somebody knows what they're doing. Because this team
Speaker 1: does have some talent, they should certainly be a lot
Speaker 1: better than what they are. For sure. By the way,
Speaker 1: you said, I like your Number Better available now in
Speaker 1: the Visa store. I'm not making this up the part
Speaker 1: of the the Gill Alexander collection. It's like I'm versace.
Speaker 1: I like your number better. I like your number better.
Speaker 1: Is a is a T shirt available at the in
Speaker 1: the Visa store there. It is pictured at Visa dot
Speaker 1: com and the Visa app. Um, we have a few

Speaker 1: of numbers game, your standard Tanka pull loose, the T
Speaker 1: shirts that have already been in there. I like your
Speaker 1: number better. Uh, it's all. It's all plink oh, Betting
Speaker 1: truth Serum, pre flopper in game, Uh, Trenchmen's and of
Speaker 1: course everybody's favorite EGA with exclamation Boys and more to come.
Speaker 1: All the different things that we have started on this show.
Speaker 1: I'm buying all of them. I have another one that
Speaker 1: I started, another T shirt available. It's not it's not
Speaker 1: under until it's over. It's not that. That was my
Speaker 1: saying that might be the biggest selling T shirt of
Speaker 1: the whole bunch in the whole store. I think it's not.
Speaker 1: Actually get a residual for that. Get something to Brian Musburger.
Speaker 1: Let's get on that fact. Let's stop the show. Let's
Speaker 1: call him right now. All right, we have Saturday games.
Speaker 1: I'm told, yes, two Saturday games. Jason tells me, Okay,
Speaker 1: what's Saturday. By the way, it's a hell of a Saturday,
Speaker 1: A lot of college football, and I haven't even looked
Speaker 1: at the college basketball get Saturday is gonna be crazy,
Speaker 1: which is fantastic. I could hardly wait. Okay, first, well,
Speaker 1: this is I don't order. You might go in order
Speaker 1: or chronologically on Saturday. Yeah, final, okay? Uh. The early game,
Speaker 1: one thirty West Coast time, Buffalo at Denver, Buffalo, coming
Speaker 1: off the win, by the way, championship games and two
Speaker 1: NFL games, championship games all day long in college football.
Speaker 1: All right, Buffalo at Denver, Buffalo with the win against
Speaker 1: the Steelers last night, in case you missed it, UH
Speaker 1: twenty six to fifteen, a game that really changed late
Speaker 1: in the first half. First of all, Buffalo inches closer
Speaker 1: to claiming their first a f C East title since
Speaker 1: nineteen five with the win and their third playoff berth
Speaker 1: in four seasons. They can clinch both as early as tonight.
Speaker 1: If Baltimore loses to Cleveland tonight, the a f C
Speaker 1: East UH goes to no, that's not true. The a
Speaker 1: f C East doesn't. But the playoff berth will go
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. The a f C East will be unaffected.
Speaker 1: They've won six of seven. Now they've at least ten
Speaker 1: of their first thirteen games. They have won at least
Speaker 1: ten of their first thirteen games of the season for
Speaker 1: the first time since ninete the old Jim Kelly, Thurman,
Speaker 1: Thomas Andre Reid, Bruce Smith, Bills. That's a considerable switch.
Speaker 1: Remember seventeen year playoff drought they had before McDermott arrived
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, which was the longest in professional sports.
Speaker 1: First half yesterday, though against Pittsburgh, only six first downs
Speaker 1: for Buffalo and a hundred two yards on seven possessions.
Speaker 1: But as I said, this was late. Steelers were up
Speaker 1: late in the first half. A lot of people had
Speaker 1: first half bets on Buffalo, first half bets on Pitts
Speaker 1: bring and it all changed with under a minute left,
Speaker 1: Toron Johnson providing the offense by stepping in front of
Speaker 1: a big Ben pass intended for Smith. Schuster returned at
Speaker 1: fifty one yards to the house. Buffalo, after a missed
Speaker 1: extra point, went up nine seven with fifty two seconds
Speaker 1: remaining in the first half, and that's how they went
Speaker 1: to the locker room. Second half, totally different story. Buffalo
Speaker 1: went to town. Josh Allen finished two thirty eight, two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one pick, and a sack. Thirty five combined touchdowns for
Speaker 1: Alan this year twenty eight passing, six rushing, one receiving.
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs was big last night, ten for one thirty
Speaker 1: in a touchdown. And then there's Denver and we'll get
Speaker 1: into the survivor implications of this yesterday. But two people
Speaker 1: picked the Panthers yesterday and survivor it's the very first thing.
Speaker 1: As soon as the uh, the breakout of who picked
Speaker 1: what yesterday came out immediately texted Ian Felika, I go,
Speaker 1: two people picked the Panthers and one on the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: What was that interesting? Uh? Denver beats the Panthers, Drew
Speaker 1: lock Through for two yards, a career high four touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Deante Spencer returning upon eighty three arts for his first
Speaker 1: career score. Broncos held on to beat Carolina thirty two
Speaker 1: to twenty seven. Love two eighty four touchdowns, no no picks,
Speaker 1: and he was sacked once for touchdowns career high for
Speaker 1: Drew lock kJ Hamler too for eighty six two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: The Broncos sacked Teddy Bridgewater four times, but you know
Speaker 1: they're just kind of playing it out. I will say,
Speaker 1: Buffalo minus six, Okay, second time, I like your number better.
Speaker 1: Uh my number came the six and a half Buffalo. However,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this and this opened four and a
Speaker 1: half in some spots last night. Uh this, I think
Speaker 1: it may even have vote on four. Anyway, it's creeping
Speaker 1: up and one. You know Bookmaker who you know takes
Speaker 1: some of the biggest plays in the in the world.
Speaker 1: They're up to five and a half with this game.
Speaker 1: But I still see a lot of four and a
Speaker 1: half out there. But I'm definitely gonna be on the
Speaker 1: high end here. I'm opening five and a half. I
Speaker 1: see this creep up to six. I'm definitely gonna go there.
Speaker 1: Uh listen, how you gotta be in I sent the
Speaker 1: bills and you're talking about Stefan days. I mean he
Speaker 1: he murdered the steal, he really did. I mean I
Speaker 1: had that well, you know, you know, I didn't need
Speaker 1: anything in the game, particularly, but you rooting for the Steelers.
Speaker 1: My goodness, could somebody please cover this guy. But Buffalo,
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're really good. I mean it's a good,
Speaker 1: good team. I mean, would anybody be surprised if they're
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl or even win the Super Bowl?
Speaker 1: I I wouldn't at all. Um. You know, Denver, they
Speaker 1: played well, they played Okay Locke, you know, his best
Speaker 1: game probably that he ever played. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I'm starting to see more five and a halfs pop up.
Speaker 1: So this, if you see a four and a half
Speaker 1: out there, you want the Bills, I would recommend you
Speaker 1: go play it now. Yeah, and it ain't gonna last.
Speaker 1: And uh, like I said, I see a five and
Speaker 1: a half of this goes to six, I'm gonna I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go there very quickly. Mark me down at this
Speaker 1: point for five and a half to like that, if
Speaker 1: I see a six flash anywhere, I'm going very quickly.
Speaker 1: All right, mark him down for a five and a half.
Speaker 1: But six the second he season one, all right, second
Speaker 1: game on Saturday, second of two. Okay, the Panthers at
Speaker 1: the Packers. Okay, so the Panthers lose to the Broncos.
Speaker 1: As we just mentioned, they've lost seven of their last eight.
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater thirty of forty no touchdowns, no picks, asn't mentioned,
Speaker 1: sacked four times. Robby Anderson was as biggest target eight
Speaker 1: for eighty four. Uh enough said about that there four
Speaker 1: and nine no Christian McCaffrey. Yesterday, green Bay they clinched
Speaker 1: the NFC North with their win over Detroit, and that
Speaker 1: coupled with New Orleans lost to Philadelphia, which we'll get into,
Speaker 1: they're the number one seed in the a f C.
Speaker 1: I did not remember that in four previous NFC championship games,
Speaker 1: none of them were at Lambeau. Didn't remember that fact.
Speaker 1: Fifty seven yard field goal, up seven with three thirty
Speaker 1: left to seal the deal. I was surprised that up
Speaker 1: seven with three thirty left, that green Bay opted for
Speaker 1: the fifty seven yarder from Mason Crosby because he misses
Speaker 1: that and maybe they don't win the football game with
Speaker 1: the short field of Detroit is able to tie and
Speaker 1: four o t instead Crosby nails it. Katie bar the
Speaker 1: door Rogers twenty six for thirty three for two ninety
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, no picks, no no sacks. How many times
Speaker 1: this year if we said three touchdowns, no picks, thirty
Speaker 1: nine thirty nine touchdowns on this season for Rogers, four
Speaker 1: picks on the season, thirty nine and four. It's the
Speaker 1: ninth we can answer my own question. Ninth game this
Speaker 1: season with three plus touchdowns and no picks for Rogers.
Speaker 1: It's the most in the Super Bowl era in that category.
Speaker 1: And DeVante did his thing seven for one, fifteen and
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He's got eight straight games with a touchdown
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams. There were seven eleven on third, they were
Speaker 1: one of one on four. Detroit just couldn't get him
Speaker 1: off the field. They did have twelve penalties for sixty
Speaker 1: eight yards, so they got to clean that up. But wow,
Speaker 1: this could be one of these I don't know, one
Speaker 1: of these picks where I might be way off. Green
Speaker 1: Bay minus ten against Carolina, You're a shade how I
Speaker 1: see it? Eight and a half and nine. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't think they looked all that great yesterday green Bay.
Speaker 1: My numbers come to eight. I think I'm gonna kind
Speaker 1: of stick to the eight and a half. And then
Speaker 1: at this point, it's, like I said, eight and half
Speaker 1: and nine pretty much evenly distributed. So I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with eight and a half. Just that's closure. With my
Speaker 1: my number, which which came to eight. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go there and we just see what happens. And before
Speaker 1: we go any further, I see six is popping up
Speaker 1: on the Bills. I will open at game six. Six. Okay,
Speaker 1: there it is just like that six after four and
Speaker 1: half out there go grab it? Can ill last? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought my guess was pretty good. It's a four
Speaker 1: and a half seemed odd. All right, Let's do one
Speaker 1: Sunday morning game before we take a break here one
Speaker 1: Sunday morning. A first one up. We got the Houston
Speaker 1: Texans at the Colts Houston. For those wondering eliminated from
Speaker 1: playoff contention, uh with their loss yesterday to Chicago. There, listen,
Speaker 1: I didn't. I'm not surprised they lost to Chicago, but
Speaker 1: thirty six to seven they lose to the Bears. Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson twenty one of thirty for two nineteen one touchdown note,
Speaker 1: picks sacked six times. Remember that's been the Achilles heel
Speaker 1: of his young career, only two hundred sixty three total
Speaker 1: yards against the Bears. They were minus two in turnovers,
Speaker 1: and the Colts, as we mentioned, beat the Raiders. The
Speaker 1: Colts scored on seven of their first eight drives in
Speaker 1: their fourth victory in five games against the Raiders. Rivers
Speaker 1: nineteen of twenty eight for two forty four two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Note picks he was not sacked. Man. He's good when
Speaker 1: he's not pressured. Jonathan Taylor twenty for one fifty two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: T Y Hilton back from the dead five for eighties
Speaker 1: six and two touchdowns. They were eight of eleven on
Speaker 1: third down. They had four hundred fifty six total yards
Speaker 1: two hundred twelve rushing. They were plus three in turnovers.
Speaker 1: I don't usually go injury report on Monday morning, but
Speaker 1: they had pretty bad injury port Xavier Rhodes went to
Speaker 1: the locker room in the second quarter with a knee injury.
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard left in the second half of a back injury.
Speaker 1: Their left tackle Anthony Costanzo, missed last week with a
Speaker 1: knee ligament injury. He was on and off the field
Speaker 1: early before getting comfortable. So all those things you got
Speaker 1: a monitor with the Colts moving forward, But as far
Speaker 1: as yesterday forty four to twenty seven, they easily cover
Speaker 1: the two and a half points spread. After its kind
Speaker 1: of nip and tuck first half and then they blew
Speaker 1: the Raiders out in the second. I'll say Colts at
Speaker 1: home versus the Texans. I always seem to get the
Speaker 1: Colts numbers way off, and then I have value on
Speaker 1: the Colts sort of perpetually. I'll say Colts minus six here, Uh,
Speaker 1: you're lights, it's seven the other way, and I see
Speaker 1: even seven going up a little bit seven with a
Speaker 1: little bit of juice on the favorite and just had
Speaker 1: a couple of spots. Uh, my numbers came to eight
Speaker 1: and a half here ago. First of all, let's go
Speaker 1: to the Texans, you know. I mean, I loved the
Speaker 1: Shawn Watson. I remember last year I said a few
Speaker 1: people I thought Watson was better than Lamar Jackson. The
Speaker 1: guy said, yoh, you're crazy, And I mean, there's no
Speaker 1: doubt to have a better year. But I just I
Speaker 1: love this kid. I think he's really good man. He's
Speaker 1: got a bad line up around him, he really does.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to see him turning into
Speaker 1: like a Matthew Stafford, where you have a potential Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame career just get pretty much wasted. Um. But
Speaker 1: I don't I don't like much going on with the Texans,
Speaker 1: and it looks to me like they're kind of dropping
Speaker 1: like a rock. There was a cult. I think we're
Speaker 1: going in the opposite direction, and I think they've you know,
Speaker 1: first of all, I like Frank Wright, their coach. I
Speaker 1: think he's really done a very good job here. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, they had a new quarterback come in. I've
Speaker 1: never the biggest Philip Rivers guy, but I have to
Speaker 1: give credit words to it looks like he is playing
Speaker 1: some pretty good football. We get to the playoffs, that
Speaker 1: might be a different story. You know, you never know it,
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, but I do like I do like the
Speaker 1: way this team's playing. Uh. I don't see any seven
Speaker 1: and a half, so I am an open seven. But
Speaker 1: once again, if I see this bluep hire, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go higher. So put me down for seven, but high,
Speaker 1: but it goes yeah. I'd like to have that guests back.
Speaker 1: I think I got gun shy from all my bad
Speaker 1: Colts guesses in previous week, so I went light on
Speaker 1: in there. I don't have a problem with them being
Speaker 1: seven or over seven, as you said right there. All right,
Speaker 1: let's continue with Sunday Morning Week fifteen. Okay, Well, this
Speaker 1: one we're gonna have to go over quickly. It's the Titans,
Speaker 1: the Lions at the Titans, and there's really no numbers
Speaker 1: because of Matthew Stafford. Yeah, we don't know. Stafford didn't
Speaker 1: finish the game yesterday against green Bay Chase Daniel did.
Speaker 1: Stafford was four thirty four in the loss to Green
Speaker 1: Bay for two forty four yards, one touchdown, no picks.
Speaker 1: He was sacked four times. By the way, green Bay
Speaker 1: ended up winning that thirty one to twenty four. Um
Speaker 1: his injury well, he left in the first in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, did Stafford. Lions interim coach Daryl Bevil said
Speaker 1: it was too early to know how significant his injury was,
Speaker 1: adding the team would know more Monday today. After X
Speaker 1: rays only fifty one rushing yards for the lines Tennessee
Speaker 1: beat Jacksonville, Tannehill was nineteen two touchdowns, note picks. He
Speaker 1: was sacked once. Derrick Henry my goodness twenty six for
Speaker 1: two fifteen and two touchdowns. He had a hundred seventy
Speaker 1: yards on seventeen carries in the first half, and then
Speaker 1: a j Brown seven for one twelve including an amazing
Speaker 1: touchdown catch. They had four hundred fifty four total yards
Speaker 1: two forty nine rushing in their thirty one to ten
Speaker 1: bludgeoning of Jacksonville. I'll say Tennessee by seven. But you
Speaker 1: said there's no there's no line at all because we
Speaker 1: don't know if it's Stafford line. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I saw some early numbers, but they're even. Those were
Speaker 1: like three points difference, and depending on which is what
Speaker 1: we expect that of Stafford, I don't know. If it's
Speaker 1: not Stafford, it's gonna be more than seven. You know,
Speaker 1: if it's not Stafford, it's gonna be closer to ten.
Speaker 1: I would imagine, Yeah, okay, let's do a Yeah. The
Speaker 1: number I saw early was was an eight. Assuming Stafford
Speaker 1: was in the you know, my numbers come to seven
Speaker 1: and a half. I would pay all these Staffords. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I had ter another Jets at the rams
Speaker 1: Ah Jets at the rams. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know this, but the Jets are in thirteen. Uh. They're
Speaker 1: the tenth team, tenth team in NFL history to start
Speaker 1: Oh in thirteen. They lose yesterday, as I mentioned to Seattle,
Speaker 1: forty to three. That was a Survivor Coast eighth loss
Speaker 1: of twenty plus points under Adam Gaze. He has seven
Speaker 1: total wins in his tenure, eight losses of twenty plus points,
Speaker 1: ninth game this season with thirty plus points allowed, most
Speaker 1: in the NFL. For the Jets, Darnald fourteen twenty six
Speaker 1: for one, thirty two, no touchdown, snow picks act three times.
Speaker 1: They only had a hundred eighty five total yards of
Speaker 1: offense hundred sixteen passing, sixty nine rushing and just for
Speaker 1: good measures, Sergio Castillo missed three field goals in the
Speaker 1: first half thirty seven forty three. So there was that
Speaker 1: and then the Rams extra rest because remember the Rams
Speaker 1: crushed the Patriots on Thursday Sean McVeigh thirty five and
Speaker 1: oh now when leading at halftime, including the playoffs, four
Speaker 1: consecutive winning records for the team. Acres went off on
Speaker 1: Thursday one seventy one and Aaron Aaron Donald had another
Speaker 1: one and a half sacks to move into the overall
Speaker 1: NFL lead with twelve and a half this season. Remember
Speaker 1: that was the game with the Kenny Young seventy seventy
Speaker 1: nine pick six against cam and then the floodgates open
Speaker 1: twenty four to three Rams over the Pats. Uh this
Speaker 1: will be large if yesterday was what was yet? What
Speaker 1: did yesterday end up with? Seattle? That was big? Right
Speaker 1: that without Yeah, it's sward over fourteen by the end,
Speaker 1: So I'll just start with seven. I'll start with seventeen here.
Speaker 1: How about that? Well, you're right on, um, you know,
Speaker 1: at seventeen, my numbers named the fifteen. But the more
Speaker 1: I look at it, I mean, this Jet team has
Speaker 1: just I mean they've surrender. They don't have much talent anyway,
Speaker 1: and just attitude. I mean they just got to figure
Speaker 1: I mean, this coach, you know, you's going to be around.
Speaker 1: Nobody else from that organization is gonna be around next
Speaker 1: year or so. You know, seventeen. I have no beef
Speaker 1: with that, even though my numbers came want no part
Speaker 1: of the Jets whatsoever. Yeah, you almost wonder if that,
Speaker 1: you know, the loss to the Raiders in that fashion,
Speaker 1: that was the last two right, even though they fired
Speaker 1: Greg Williams, It's like, okay, um, we're done and we're
Speaker 1: playing out the string. Rams by seventeen, I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised if you take Rams money at that point. Yeah.
Speaker 1: By the way, by the way, Jets were up three
Speaker 1: nothing in that game. They always are they always are
Speaker 1: three to nothing. I think it's like they have some
Speaker 1: streak going right, Like I seven games in a row
Speaker 1: where they score on their first drive. It's amazing. Uh
Speaker 1: and yet oh and thirteen? Nonetheless, should we start with
Speaker 1: another one? Let's start with another one. You can give
Speaker 1: me your answer, but I'll guess it here before the break?
Speaker 1: What's another one? One? Uh? Tampa Atlanta, Tampa at Atlanta. Oh,
Speaker 1: there's no way I can do all this in this
Speaker 1: brief period here. But Tampa Bay yesterday ends up beating
Speaker 1: the Vikings by the score of fourteen. And I just
Speaker 1: want to say, this is the quintessential game of I
Speaker 1: hope people overreact and think Tampa was good in this game.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay lost three or four games to division title
Speaker 1: contenders leading into last week's by including a pair of
Speaker 1: losses to the Rams and one of the Chiefs. And
Speaker 1: they go ahead and they sat Kirk Cousins six times
Speaker 1: in this game. Okay, that's great, But did anybody watch
Speaker 1: the first half of this game? Because if there was
Speaker 1: ever some nonsense uh in officiating that you could actually
Speaker 1: think a beat or in a half about and say
Speaker 1: to yourself, why do I bet this stuff again. And
Speaker 1: by the way, I had nothing in this game, but
Speaker 1: there was a phantom penalty on Harrison Smith that was
Speaker 1: like a phantom helmet to helmet. There was nothing called
Speaker 1: against Chad bb in the other direction. But the big
Speaker 1: ones were Mike Evans falling down in the end zone
Speaker 1: on his own. They end up calling a p I
Speaker 1: on Jeff Glattany who had picked off the ball, and
Speaker 1: instead of a pick it's first in goal. Of course,
Speaker 1: Tampa scores after that. Then a pass interference on a
Speaker 1: hail Mary at the end of the half two Gronk.
Speaker 1: That's three free points. I'm not saying Tampa Bay would
Speaker 1: have lost that game, but I'm saying it might have happened. Instead,
Speaker 1: they went at fourteen Tampa bad Atlanta. We'll guess that line.
Speaker 1: We'll get more into it, just saying some of these
Speaker 1: games you never know how they couldn't have turned out,
Speaker 1: how they could have turned out. The refs decided to
Speaker 1: do a whole bunch differently. We'll come back right here
Speaker 1: in a numbers game at Visa the Sports Betting Network.
Speaker 1: It's kil Alexander, it's Chris Andrews. This is guessing lines
Speaker 1: for week number fifteen in the National Football League. Uh chrissie,
Speaker 1: let me let me bring you in here before I
Speaker 1: go further. But that what I was talking about with
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay prior to halftime yesterday against the Vikings. And
Speaker 1: it's one of these things where Joe Buck and Troy
Speaker 1: Aikman didn't come like they didn't they didn't seize on
Speaker 1: it at all. But like the past interference on Mike Evans,
Speaker 1: the pass interference on Jeff Gladney against Mike Evans was
Speaker 1: so not a pass interference. Evans was already falling to
Speaker 1: the ground on his own and he picks off the ball.
Speaker 1: It's a complete seven point change. We never see a
Speaker 1: pass interference on a Hail Mary that said. Rob Gronkowski
Speaker 1: was jost a little bit. But there was like four
Speaker 1: different calls that clearly went against the Vikings that were
Speaker 1: all questionable. And I just I this is my biggest
Speaker 1: thing about betting the NFL. Stuff like that gets swept
Speaker 1: under the carpet, right, our brains purged that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay could have just as easily been in a
Speaker 1: dog fight in that game. You see it that way
Speaker 1: as well. H Absolutely, that was we had two big
Speaker 1: games in the morning, that being in one of them.
Speaker 1: So I was watching that game now left the with
Speaker 1: no sound on as we're slipping back and forth. So
Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly what they said during that game,
Speaker 1: and I do remember what they said during the past
Speaker 1: interference on Gronkowski that that was just a ridiculous college
Speaker 1: should have never been made. But you're right, I really
Speaker 1: think that, you know, camp up. You know, I think
Speaker 1: they looked okay, but I think it was more Minnesota's
Speaker 1: ineptitude that kind of created, you know, the Campa win,
Speaker 1: you know, seemingly easy win and a cover, rather than
Speaker 1: Tampa's efficiency. So I I, you know, I'm not all
Speaker 1: that impressed with him. I mean, they listen, they're they're good.
Speaker 1: I don't know who's good and great in this league
Speaker 1: right now, and I don't think anybody does really when
Speaker 1: you look at the top half dozen teams or so.
Speaker 1: Could they make it to a Super Bowl? Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: I guess they could, But I'm not like super impressed.
Speaker 1: I can tell you that Brady ended up fifteen of
Speaker 1: twenty three, two touchdowns no picks, wasn't sacked, by the way,
Speaker 1: He's fifteen and four career in nineteen games following it.
Speaker 1: By for those who care about such things, Jones eighteen
Speaker 1: for eighty and a touchdown. Tampa only had the ball
Speaker 1: for nineteen minutes and fifty nine seconds yesterday in the victory.
Speaker 1: Uh and who are they playing, oh, Atlanta? Atlanta eliminated
Speaker 1: from playoff contention, everybody, for those who were waiting for that,
Speaker 1: holding their breath four and four now under Raheem Morris,
Speaker 1: they lose yesterday. As we mentioned to the Chargers, Ryan
Speaker 1: was twenty one thirty two for two twenty four, one touchdown,
Speaker 1: three picks, two sacks, all three in the second half,
Speaker 1: all three of his picks in the second half. In fact,
Speaker 1: two on the final two drives. Mattie Ice y'all ridley
Speaker 1: eight for one a touchdown. That touchdown was passed was
Speaker 1: from Gauge. Gauge was five for eighty two In terms
Speaker 1: of catches, he was one for one thirty nine yards
Speaker 1: passing in that touchdown. Atlanta was nine of eleven on
Speaker 1: third downs but minus two in turnovers. Again, those three
Speaker 1: turnos were everything. All Maddie ice all picks, all in
Speaker 1: the second half, including in the final two drives. And
Speaker 1: that's the story of the game, even the Chargers weren't
Speaker 1: were able to overcome themselves thanks to Matt Ryan. Uh
Speaker 1: that said, Tampa Bay shouldn't be that big of a
Speaker 1: favorite here. If they are, I'm going the other way.
Speaker 1: So I'll say, Tampa Bay minus three and a half,
Speaker 1: well you're light. Uh. I made it five myself, but
Speaker 1: I see five and five and a half mostly five
Speaker 1: and a half. So I'm gonna open the five. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's enough to entice much action the
Speaker 1: other way, but I'm gonna open five. I mean again,
Speaker 1: I would say, don't let's not forget how Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: has looked like the last month. And I know Bruce
Speaker 1: arians and his you know conference yesterday. Uh it was
Speaker 1: saying we'll do any damn thing we want or something
Speaker 1: like that. You know, I'm not so sure they could
Speaker 1: do that, you know, but you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: But again, we're going against Atlanta team that uh you know,
Speaker 1: I didn't need much in that Atlanta Charger game, so
Speaker 1: I only had kind of half an eye on it,
Speaker 1: but it looked to me like Atlanta was going enough
Speaker 1: to win that game, and they just did enough to
Speaker 1: blow the game. So that's right. I wouldn't go all
Speaker 1: in on Atlanta on this, you know, but I think
Speaker 1: five is a decent place to start, and we'll see
Speaker 1: where we go from Mary. It is. It is true.
Speaker 1: Like if if it's more than I guess here, I'm
Speaker 1: going all in the other way. And then I've realized
Speaker 1: it's Atlanta, Yeah, and I'm like, okay, maybe not rry.
Speaker 1: What's next New England at Miami? These are still early
Speaker 1: games on Sunday. I would imagine, yeah, and I you know,
Speaker 1: and my apologies to everybody. I did jump ahead of
Speaker 1: Ram game but moved to one o'clock Rams and Jets,
Speaker 1: which we already covered was originally in the early part.
Speaker 1: You two are forgiven super quick. There's three afternoon games,
Speaker 1: only three afternoon games in eight morning games. We're back
Speaker 1: to that uh New England extra rest they got shell act.
Speaker 1: Haven't used that word this season by the Rams last
Speaker 1: Thursday night, as we mentioned, officially ending New England's NFL
Speaker 1: record streak of seventeen straight seasons with at least ten
Speaker 1: victories all the way back to two thousand two. Cam
Speaker 1: was nine of sixteen for one nineteen, no touchdowns, one pick.
Speaker 1: He was sacked four times. Bill Belichick, though, says he's
Speaker 1: the starter. Two total yards against the Rams, just sixty
Speaker 1: two in the second half, only ten first downs. Miami
Speaker 1: yesterday loses to the Chiefs. I haven't talked about this yet.
Speaker 1: Chiefs now number one seed in the a f C.
Speaker 1: At least that's the position they're in. Chiefs end up
Speaker 1: winning it thirty three to twenty seven. Little points spread, plank. Oh,
Speaker 1: the end of that game with field Wills uh to
Speaker 1: a box score looks good forty eight for three, eighteen,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, one pick. He was sacked four times. But
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. I don't know watching this game. Uh.
Speaker 1: Miami was plus three in turnovers, still couldn't beat the
Speaker 1: Chiefs four turn four turnovers induced, including three picks from Mahomes.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins lose for only the second time in the
Speaker 1: past nine games. They picked off Patrick Mahomes two of
Speaker 1: the first three Chiefs drives. Remember Mahomes and only had
Speaker 1: two picks all year before that, And when they were
Speaker 1: up seven and nothing, they get a second pick in
Speaker 1: Jason Weingart and I were texting. He goes, Wow, maybe
Speaker 1: maybe this is Miami's day. Maybe Miami's gonna win this
Speaker 1: and I said, they got a cash in here though,
Speaker 1: and they only end up with a field goal. And
Speaker 1: as soon as they did that, I think everybody everybody
Speaker 1: in the country was like, that's not good enough. Tended,
Speaker 1: nothing's not gonna get this done. Uh. The Chiefs go
Speaker 1: ahead and outscore them in the second and third quarter
Speaker 1: thirty to three. So again it's with the Chiefs. I
Speaker 1: think this Chiefs team will get to the Chiefs later.
Speaker 1: I'm more straying on the Chiefs, but I actually think
Speaker 1: this Chief's better. This Chiefs team this year is better
Speaker 1: than the Super Bowl one from last year. Anyway, It's
Speaker 1: New England at Miami Miami. Now, the the dreams of
Speaker 1: the a f C East title probably not gonna happen,
Speaker 1: but they gotta win this game. They're trying to get
Speaker 1: to the playoffs more than anything right now. Um, I'll
Speaker 1: say it's Miami, Miami hostingwing. I'll say Miami, my this four.
Speaker 1: Uh what's that? Teachers say, I like your number better,
Speaker 1: I like your number better. Uh, my numbers came to
Speaker 1: Miami five in this game. But I see this game
Speaker 1: anywhere from two. I see a couple of threes, even
Speaker 1: with Big Juice on the dogs, but probably yeah, two,
Speaker 1: two and a half is the is the number. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open three year Uh you know, you know, listen,
Speaker 1: I know we're gonna talk about Billischik and extra days
Speaker 1: rest and you know, blah blah blah. This is not
Speaker 1: a typical New England team. You know, they have very
Speaker 1: little talent on offense. Uh, they got that one kid
Speaker 1: who's a great special teams player. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you want to revolve your whole team around that. But
Speaker 1: Miami is pretty good gunner old shaky yet that's um,
Speaker 1: you know, Miami. They you know, they didn't look great,
Speaker 1: but they didn't get the three turnovers against against my homes.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that says something right there. I mean,
Speaker 1: if they could pick him off three times, I mean,
Speaker 1: the boy looks like Cam Newton would be definitely right
Speaker 1: for the picking. I'm gonna open three. I'm sure they'll
Speaker 1: take it. I'm sure they'll grab it. And but you know,
Speaker 1: be in line, folks at nine o'clock when I opened
Speaker 1: these numbers. If you want to take New England plus
Speaker 1: the three, because that that is what I'm gonna open.
Speaker 1: But I think Miami anything under three has to be
Speaker 1: a player in Miami. Yeah, that's the first one I
Speaker 1: really love. That doesn't make any sense to me. And
Speaker 1: I thought I was I thought I was low with
Speaker 1: my guests, right, I was like, oh, probably low. But
Speaker 1: I'll say four, you know, like, wow, I made it five.
Speaker 1: So you know, there we go. Umm, So here's what
Speaker 1: I would ask about. Oh, sorry, go ahead. No, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna say that we're going on next year. No,
Speaker 1: because I wanted to say one more thing about this.
Speaker 1: If Ryan Fitzpatrick plays yesterday, there's a couple of Phase one.
Speaker 1: Do we know if the Dolphins would have won that
Speaker 1: game or not? We don't. But I've said this before
Speaker 1: the last couple of Dolphins game. Brian Flora is great job.
Speaker 1: What a season the Dolphins have had, no matter how
Speaker 1: it goes from here, whether they make the playoffs or not.
Speaker 1: But I do think, like, you know, the whole thing
Speaker 1: where he's like, it's too if Ta is healthy, I'm
Speaker 1: going with Tua. I do wonder and I have wondered
Speaker 1: this before the past two weeks. Have they painted themselves
Speaker 1: into a corner with it? Because they are you know,
Speaker 1: they're teetering right. The Ravens are knocking at the door,
Speaker 1: especially if the Ravens win tonight the Dolphins are in
Speaker 1: a fight for a playoff spot. Is to a really,
Speaker 1: your best foot forward better than Ryan Fitzpatrick? Does it
Speaker 1: not matter to you to make the playoffs? If that's
Speaker 1: If that's not the case, If Ryan Fitzpatrick is your
Speaker 1: best foot forward, shouldn't he be playing these last few games?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really it's a tough position to be in.
Speaker 1: I just wish he hadn't said it's to a no
Speaker 1: matter what if he's healthy. Yeah, I mean I hate
Speaker 1: the knock floor as in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 1: He's just done so much with this team. You know,
Speaker 1: beginning last year, even early in the season, you could
Speaker 1: see he was building the team, and then they went
Speaker 1: on a nice little run at the end of the
Speaker 1: year and they played terrifically this year. So I mean,
Speaker 1: he's the guy that's there every day, you know, and
Speaker 1: uh or we're judging from a distance, so I don't
Speaker 1: want to say anything, you know. I mean, he listen,
Speaker 1: He's done almost everything right with this team that he
Speaker 1: could possibly do. So if that's what he decides, then
Speaker 1: that's what he decides. That is a very mature evolved
Speaker 1: take on that subject. Um, okay, you have, oh, ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen guessing lines for week fifteen. Christie, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if you're able to see this, but we have
Speaker 1: special new intro to guessing lines. Hit it. That's good.
Speaker 1: It's very like eighties. Yeah. Yeah, that's the old Uh,
Speaker 1: that's the old Stardust fund right there, guessing lines exactly. Oh,
Speaker 1: I see what you did well, throw back there. Thank
Speaker 1: you to the graphics department, Carlos You Carlos Los doing
Speaker 1: some stuff. Lows formerly known here on the Numbers game
Speaker 1: as patient text for spreading all kinds of things. This
Speaker 1: is a pre pandemic. That was funny. It's not funny
Speaker 1: anymore to say that, because people are gonna be who's
Speaker 1: this guy? Who's this guy? I didn't mean to do
Speaker 1: that to Los. Thank you, Los appreciate it as always. Uh,
Speaker 1: joke takes on a whole new meaning. Now, all right, Chrissie,
Speaker 1: we got more games to get to. We're only halfway through.
Speaker 1: What's the next early still on Sunday? Yeah, Seattle at
Speaker 1: the football team Seattle at the football team of Seattle.
Speaker 1: As we mentioned, Seattle beats the Jets forty three, the
Speaker 1: how do we call it the get right game against
Speaker 1: the Jets. Seahawks had just one win by more than
Speaker 1: fourteen points in the past two seasons. You believe that
Speaker 1: until yesterday, Russell Wilson seven for two, six, four touchdown passes,
Speaker 1: one pick. He was not sacked taken out late in
Speaker 1: the third quarter for Gino Smith. Career high thirty six
Speaker 1: touchdowns for the season for Russell Wilson. By the way, Gino.
Speaker 1: For those of you Gino Smith fans out there, four
Speaker 1: or five for thirty three. One of the great scouting
Speaker 1: reports for Gino Smith coming out of college. Slow eyes,
Speaker 1: Gil slow Eyes. I love that the progressions Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: had played every snap of the previous forty nine games
Speaker 1: for Seattle. I would not have guessed that played every
Speaker 1: snap the previous forty nine games for Seattle, but they
Speaker 1: had a four hundred ten to one eighty five total
Speaker 1: yards advantage versus the Jets. Jamal Adams got a sort
Speaker 1: of weird sack where he forced Darnaled out of bound.
Speaker 1: So it's eight and a half of the year, the
Speaker 1: most by a defensive back since the staff became official
Speaker 1: in anyway. Then there's the Washington football team. Chase Young
Speaker 1: is a beast. Chase Young and Cameron Curl uh two
Speaker 1: defenders on Washingtons. The Chase Young and Camera Curl scored
Speaker 1: defensive touchdowns. Washington grabbed sole possession of first place in
Speaker 1: the division the NFC East. That is there, six and
Speaker 1: seven break up Washington. They've won four straights and say
Speaker 1: two and seven start. Alex Smith will get to this
Speaker 1: in a moment. Alex Smith eight of nineteen for fifty seven,
Speaker 1: no touchdowns, one pick. He was sacked once. He missed
Speaker 1: the second half though with soreness in his surgically repaired
Speaker 1: right leg. Dwayne Haskins had to come in. He was
Speaker 1: seven of twelve or fifty one. Didn't make any crucial mistakes.
Speaker 1: Washington's offense had only eleven first downs in victory eleven.
Speaker 1: They only had a hundred ninety four total yards in victory.
Speaker 1: Their yards per play was worse than that of the Jets,
Speaker 1: the Jags, the Giants, and the Bengals yesterday worst of
Speaker 1: all teams. However, they were plus two in turnovers, and
Speaker 1: two of those three turnovers were returned for touchdowns by
Speaker 1: Young and Curl. Chase Young, by the way, in the
Speaker 1: first half, a sack, a fumble, recovery for a touchdown,
Speaker 1: a forced fumble. He is a beast. But there's the
Speaker 1: question of Alex Smith. So I don't you know here
Speaker 1: Seahawks at Washington. If it's Alex Smith, it's one thing.
Speaker 1: If it's Dwayne Haskins, it's another. I think it's what
Speaker 1: this comes down to. Uh, if it's Alex Smith, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say Seattle minus four and a half. Let me
Speaker 1: just take a moment to say it's Gil Alexander, it's
Speaker 1: Chris Andrews. It's guessing lines Week fifteen in the National
Speaker 1: Football League right here on a numbers game at Visa
Speaker 1: v Sports Betting Network, Visa dot Com, the Visa at
Speaker 1: Food Boastling and Game Plus. This is where I guess
Speaker 1: the lines because I've been in a cocoon since yesterday,
Speaker 1: and Christie tells me how far off I am what
Speaker 1: he's gonna post, and hopefully within that exercise we extract
Speaker 1: some value, as we believe we did with Miami just
Speaker 1: before the break. So that's where that stands for me. Chris,
Speaker 1: it's if it's Alex Smith, I think it's Seattle minus
Speaker 1: four and a half. If it's Dwayne Haskins. I mean
Speaker 1: it's probably a lead a touchdown. But I'm a little
Speaker 1: worried about Alex Smith because, look, comeback player of the year.
Speaker 1: He's proven everything to anybody he never had. Like I said,
Speaker 1: if he threw one forward past this year, I don't
Speaker 1: care if it was in the dirt. He's the comeback
Speaker 1: player of the year. He's done so much more than that.
Speaker 1: He led the league in passing one week with three
Speaker 1: nine yards. He's the veteran presence that this team with
Speaker 1: a great defense, really needs. He manages the game on
Speaker 1: offense for them. They're actually a pretty a team that
Speaker 1: you may not want to face in the postseason with
Speaker 1: that defense. But man, if he's got soreness in that leg,
Speaker 1: I'm a little worried. So I don't know. Four and
Speaker 1: a half with him, seven without well, I think the
Speaker 1: assumption at this point is that he's gonna play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's listening as questionable in the early reports with a
Speaker 1: strange cap. He was walking around on the sideline just
Speaker 1: say my hunches. He's gonna play as well. You know,
Speaker 1: I see the game, you know, five a little bit
Speaker 1: of four and a half, and I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: I'm still not tremendously impressed by Seattle, you know, regardless
Speaker 1: of their blowout of the Jets. My numbers came to three.
Speaker 1: But now I see the five. I think, by the way,
Speaker 1: this game opened four pretty much last night up to
Speaker 1: five now, so so money did show on Seattle. And
Speaker 1: sometimes that could be a fake, a route to you
Speaker 1: never know. But I do like the higher number better
Speaker 1: the more I look at it. Um, I think my
Speaker 1: number of three was just too late. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: strictly a one way number. Nobody's gonna gobble up the
Speaker 1: three taking it. They might lay it, of course, which
Speaker 1: evidently they did. So I'm gonna open five. I think
Speaker 1: my number was just too low there. That onto your man,
Speaker 1: Chase Young. This kid is unbelievable. He is so good.
Speaker 1: I mean, not too often a guy like that can
Speaker 1: turn around a game, but I mean he's capable of
Speaker 1: doing it. And besides, they have some other good players,
Speaker 1: uh oh, you know up front through the per Washington.
Speaker 1: So this this is a dangerous team. I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you the five, and That's what I'm going to open.
Speaker 1: But to me, if this thing creeps up anymore, I
Speaker 1: would definitely be looking to play Washington. I think, you know,
Speaker 1: I think I think they're gonna be right in this one.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a tough, tough game. As
Speaker 1: I've said, they're littered with first round picks on that defense,
Speaker 1: with Payne and Alan and Sweat in addition Payne Allan
Speaker 1: Sweat in addition to to Young, Uh Chase Young. That sack,
Speaker 1: he was dropped back in coverage and you saw his
Speaker 1: moment and just absolutely sprinted into Nick McMullan. And then
Speaker 1: the fumble recovery of there. Then there was the forced fumble,
Speaker 1: which was awesome, the fumble recovery for a touchdown, he
Speaker 1: scoops it up on the fly. Payne made the force
Speaker 1: the fumble on that one. They sort of traded forced
Speaker 1: fumbles and recoveries those two and and then just scoops
Speaker 1: it up and two six the four pounds spritten down
Speaker 1: the sidelines was just a sight to behold. He is
Speaker 1: just a menace. I even invoked the the initials LT
Speaker 1: yesterday for the first time when texting with people. Um,
Speaker 1: this could be Let me just say this, three weeks
Speaker 1: left in the regular season, Seattle at Washington could very
Speaker 1: well be a playoff preview. Everybody a five seed to
Speaker 1: the four seed. That's where it stands right now. So
Speaker 1: we'll see how this goes and we'll see if Alex
Speaker 1: Smith can make it. You're right, because he couldn't get
Speaker 1: the calf. Couldn't get the calf, right, Yesterday was sore
Speaker 1: interesting on that with Alex Smith. All right, what's next? Well,
Speaker 1: one more thing about before we go on. There's speed
Speaker 1: and then there's quickness, and they're not necessarily the same things, right,
Speaker 1: but when you have them in combination, it's really dangerous.
Speaker 1: And he has that. I mean, he's fast and he's quick,
Speaker 1: and he's big and he's going to be a beast
Speaker 1: for years to come. But the he's healthy, I hope
Speaker 1: he does for the sake of the game. Really, he's
Speaker 1: he's a tremendous player. Okay. Next up we have the
Speaker 1: Bears at the Vikings. Bears at the Vikings to six
Speaker 1: and seven teams right now on the outside looking in
Speaker 1: in the NFC, both trying to get to the postseason.
Speaker 1: Chicago snaps a six game losing streak with that thirty
Speaker 1: six to seven win over the Texans yesterday. Again, no surprise,
Speaker 1: necessarily that they won. Somewhat surprised that they crushed him though,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned to Shaun Watson, just there's just so
Speaker 1: few bodies left for him to throw the ball to.
Speaker 1: Mitch Drabinsky. Yesterday in victory against Houston, twenty four or
Speaker 1: thirty three for two sixty seven, three touchdowns, no picks,
Speaker 1: sack three times first half through for all three of
Speaker 1: his touchdown, all three of his touchdown passes. The Bears
Speaker 1: were up thirty to seven at the half. That game
Speaker 1: was over by halftime. Montgomery first play of the game
Speaker 1: eight yards scamper. He ended up eleven for one thirteen
Speaker 1: and and that eight yard touchdown, caught three balls for
Speaker 1: forty two. First play from scrimmage eight yards to the house,
Speaker 1: and it was the route was on for the Bears.
Speaker 1: Robinson always fills up a statute for the Bears, Allen
Speaker 1: Robinson nine of a touchdown, four total yards for Chicago
Speaker 1: plus two in turnovers. They sacked Houston quarterback seven times,
Speaker 1: the Shawn six times, a J. McCarron one time. I
Speaker 1: believe that was A. J. Mccarren's only play they sacked him,
Speaker 1: and one of those was the safety. One of the
Speaker 1: sacks of of Watson was a safety from Khalil Mack.
Speaker 1: Mac also recovered a fumble by Duke Johnson in the
Speaker 1: first period deflected a pass in the second. So Chase
Speaker 1: Young was doing big things for Washington, Kalil Mack doing
Speaker 1: big things for Chicago. And then, as I mentioned, Minnesota
Speaker 1: loses to Tampa Bay Um. But I keep getting back
Speaker 1: to it. I hope people watch the first half of
Speaker 1: this game, because I'm not. It's just you. You can't
Speaker 1: prove it. You can't prove that this game would have
Speaker 1: been totally different. But man, uh, the officials were doing
Speaker 1: the vikings no favors, and the biggest one of those
Speaker 1: non favors game changing defensive pass interference. Bucks up seven
Speaker 1: and six, second and goal at the seven picked, but
Speaker 1: Mike Evans slipped in the end zone. It was ruled
Speaker 1: the defensive pass interference against cornerback. Jeff Gladney, Joe Buck,
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman say nothing. In fact, they agree with the call.
Speaker 1: Next play one yard Ronald Jones touchdown. Yeah, good god.
Speaker 1: And then there's Dan Bailey. My god, Chrissy, this guy.
Speaker 1: I remember when Dallas let him go. I was like,
Speaker 1: how could they let him? How could they let this
Speaker 1: guy go? He missed four He's in the last two
Speaker 1: games now, he's missed four field goals and three p
Speaker 1: A t s. Yesterday he missed an extra point and
Speaker 1: three three and rather three field goals, basically all four
Speaker 1: of his kicks, he missed them all. In other words,
Speaker 1: and Brady launched two of Tampa Bay's three first half
Speaker 1: scoring drives after Bailey missed field goals of forty nine
Speaker 1: and fifty four yards. And what does Lombardi always say
Speaker 1: those are turnovers and they don't look they don't say
Speaker 1: that in the box core, but those are turnovers period.
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins twenty four or thirty seven for two twenty
Speaker 1: five one touchdown note pix. He was sacked six times
Speaker 1: six Dalvin one O two in a touchdown by the
Speaker 1: way Minnesota had as I mentioned thirty nine O three
Speaker 1: to nineteen fifty nine advantage in I'm a possession that
Speaker 1: seems two seconds off, but Davin, they didn't need it.
Speaker 1: Short fields officials helping him out also mentioned the phantom
Speaker 1: call on Harrison Smith Chad Beebe didn't get one the
Speaker 1: other way on him. Brutal first half officiating against the
Speaker 1: Vikings but it's at Minnesota, and not that home field
Speaker 1: means anything. I'm just saying it's still Chicago. I'll say Minnesota,
Speaker 1: not by three. I'll say Minnesota by four. Ah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're high. It's um three juice on the favorite. I
Speaker 1: see a couple of three and a halfs with pretty
Speaker 1: big juice on the dog. You know, I'm opening three
Speaker 1: and they'll probably lay it, you know, But I mean
Speaker 1: that's okay with me. First of all, look's not you know,
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame Mr Rabisky last week, but that aberration
Speaker 1: wasn't him, not yet. No, But you know, when you know,
Speaker 1: back to Dan Bailey, he had missed a couple and
Speaker 1: then he had like a fifty three yard or something
Speaker 1: like that. And I'm in the office with Jimmy, and
Speaker 1: you know, we needed Minnesota pretty good. And I said, Jimmy,
Speaker 1: this might be a good thing for him because there's
Speaker 1: no pressure on He said the same things. On the
Speaker 1: kicking at the point, I said the same thing, and
Speaker 1: he missed it by a mile, and I said, oh,
Speaker 1: he he just can't kick anymore, you know, So you're racing.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, and you know, of course,
Speaker 1: the coach going into the game. We have no downs
Speaker 1: and Dan Bailey he's our man. He's one of the
Speaker 1: great kickers of all playing. Blah blah blah. Wow, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's probably a lot of guys
Speaker 1: that used to be a great kicker. And what did
Speaker 1: they say? Three? You just can't? Yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you know, go ahead. I was gonna say
Speaker 1: with those things that I'm gonna I'm gonna open three,
Speaker 1: open three. Yeah, he's got those three misses. Yesterday he
Speaker 1: went from like the sixth most accurate kicker of all
Speaker 1: time to the eleventh most accurate kicker of all time.
Speaker 1: So just falling down. He's at the he's at the
Speaker 1: point now where you want to give him a hug.
Speaker 1: Really is So you said three, you're opening three Vikings. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open three. They're gonna lay it to me.
Speaker 1: That's fine, I'm gonna open three. All right, what's next? Okay?
Speaker 1: Another morning game Jacksonville at the Ravens. Well, as far
Speaker 1: as I'm concerned doing by my math, I think this
Speaker 1: is the final morning game man. Jacksonville's worn In twelve,
Speaker 1: as we talked about, they got crushed by Tennessee by
Speaker 1: the final score of thirty one to ten, as seven
Speaker 1: and a half point consensus closing dolls Jacksonville's twelfth consecutive loss.
Speaker 1: Mike glenn On, as John Gruden calls him, thirteen eight
Speaker 1: five no touchdowns, one pick. He wasn't sacked, but he
Speaker 1: was benched following his fourth turnover plus the safety in
Speaker 1: six quarters, and Gardner Minshew got back in the game
Speaker 1: first time since Week seven. He was eighteen of thirty
Speaker 1: one for one seventy eight, one touchdown, no picks, wasn't sacked.
Speaker 1: James Robinson fasted undrafted rookie two thousand yards. How about that?
Speaker 1: But they were ten They had ten penalties for eight yards.
Speaker 1: Didn't help themselves. And then there's Baltimore. Baltimore has not
Speaker 1: played yet. Baltimore, of course, plays against Cleveland tonight. Baltimore
Speaker 1: now a three point favorite, up to a three point
Speaker 1: favorite everywhere tonight in a huge game for both Baltimore
Speaker 1: and Cleveland. Cleveland now with some thoughts about the division
Speaker 1: in the a f C North now that Pittsburgh has fallen,
Speaker 1: and Baltimore right now on the outside looking into the
Speaker 1: a f C East. Excuse me. In the a f
Speaker 1: C playoff picture, trying to run the table, and if
Speaker 1: they beat the Browns they might just be able to
Speaker 1: with a favorable schedule, So massive implications for this game.
Speaker 1: To Baltimore loses, Oh, then they absolutely have to run
Speaker 1: the table. Um that said, we haven't seen them. So
Speaker 1: I'll say, I mean, look, this is gonna be huge,
Speaker 1: as big as the Rams and No. Fourteen, I'll say
Speaker 1: thirteen Ravens by thirteen. Yeah, you're dead on it's thirteen.
Speaker 1: You know my numbers team that's twelve. But as soon
Speaker 1: as I saw the third team, I definitely like that better.
Speaker 1: You know, this Jaxonville team really looked like they're they're
Speaker 1: packing it in. I mean, there's gonna be so many changes.
Speaker 1: They've already changed general fired to general manager. The coach,
Speaker 1: I don't know how he retains his job. They need quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: they need I mean you just run down a lot.
Speaker 1: They need everything, and uh, here we are late in
Speaker 1: the season. They're on the road against you know, you know,
Speaker 1: last year probably over all the best team in the league,
Speaker 1: even though they lost in the playoffs. This is just
Speaker 1: a horrible spot. I just can't see any enthusiasm for
Speaker 1: this Jacksonville team. So I definitely like the first team better.
Speaker 1: But let's see what happens tonight. But I think I
Speaker 1: think you're right though. Whoever wins tonight is in a
Speaker 1: very good position. Um and you know easily could run
Speaker 1: the table and could not Pittsburgh out of the out
Speaker 1: of the division of its Cleveland certainly, how you feeling
Speaker 1: about your Steelers? Can't be good? Huh? Not good? Not good,
Speaker 1: not good at all. I'm thinking already, just again, I
Speaker 1: don't go more than two seconds out thinking about Survivor,
Speaker 1: but already Rams massive favorites against the Jets, Baltimore, massive
Speaker 1: favorites against Jacksonville. Some candidates that we've also already talked
Speaker 1: about Tennessee. Will Matt Stafford play? How big will that spread?
Speaker 1: Thank you? Green Bay against Carolina. I mean those are
Speaker 1: already four big candidates. Now will all come down to availability.
Speaker 1: Who's got what um less than twenty in circus survivor
Speaker 1: have the rams available to them? Less than the rams
Speaker 1: available to them? Okay, now we go to the afternoon.
Speaker 1: Let's get one afternoon game in Okay, I'm gonna skip
Speaker 1: the night game, which would be next on the schedule.
Speaker 1: In the rotation. But I'm gonna go to the Eagles
Speaker 1: at the Cardinals. Well, we haven't talked about either of
Speaker 1: these games. Eagles beat the Saints outright, Jalen Hurts first
Speaker 1: start Eagles win at twenty four to any one, do
Speaker 1: so as seven and a half point closing dogs. I
Speaker 1: believe I said I'm taking the Saints. Jalen Hurts. If
Speaker 1: you can beat me in your first start, tip of
Speaker 1: the cap, some bet you have to be willing to lose. Well,
Speaker 1: guess what I lost? Tip of the cap. Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: uh first win this season for the Eagles versus a
Speaker 1: team currently above five hundred, stabbing a four game losing streak.
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts seventeen of thirty for one sixty seven, one touchdown,
Speaker 1: no picks. He was not sacked. Eight teen carries for
Speaker 1: one hundred six yards on the ground. Eagles coach Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson Chrissy wouldn't commit to starting Hurts are going back
Speaker 1: to Carson Wentz next week. On Miles Les Sanders was
Speaker 1: fourteen for one fifteen and two touchdowns two hundred forty
Speaker 1: six rushing yards against the Saints. That was bizarre to me.
Speaker 1: Eagles d five sacks, two takeaways. And then there's Arizona.
Speaker 1: Let me just say Hassan Reddick five sacks and three
Speaker 1: forced fumbles in one game as Arizona crushed the Giants
Speaker 1: twenty six to seven. Daniel Jones a lot of people
Speaker 1: said he didn't look right. I didn't watch enough of
Speaker 1: it to comment, but Giants didn't look right snap the
Speaker 1: three game skid. Uh did the Cardinals. They finished with
Speaker 1: eight sacks because col McCoy got in there to Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray thirty five or two forty four one touchdown note picks.
Speaker 1: He was sacked once. Thirteen carries for forty seven yards,
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins nine for one thirty six. Cardinals were plus
Speaker 1: three in turnovers. That's really all you need to know.
Speaker 1: And they won the time of possession battle thirty seven
Speaker 1: forty five to twenty two minutes in fifteen seconds. All
Speaker 1: out comprehensive win for the Cardinals. Uh, they're at home
Speaker 1: here against the Eagles in Glendale. I will say Arizona
Speaker 1: minus four and a half. Arizona. You know, last night
Speaker 1: it was I'm trying to look at my series five
Speaker 1: and a half. Last night it has gone to a
Speaker 1: blanket six. I need the game five myself, it's a lot. Uh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't jeez, it's uh. I still might open this
Speaker 1: one five and a half and see what they want
Speaker 1: to do that. I'm sure they'll lay it right away
Speaker 1: that you know. I just still have my big question
Speaker 1: marks about Arizona. You know, from the beginning, I was
Speaker 1: never a big Kyler Murray man. I'm Kingsbury man. Is
Speaker 1: their coach? You know, Phillippy. They the one thing I
Speaker 1: would say that Philly had a lot of injuries during
Speaker 1: that game. I say quite a few they did, and
Speaker 1: that we may want to see an injury report there.
Speaker 1: I'm debating where they're open at five and after six
Speaker 1: probably five and a half, but well, I might change
Speaker 1: my six. Seems like a lot um But yeah, that
Speaker 1: game said more about the Saints, which we'll get to
Speaker 1: here momentarily on a numbers game. Guessing lines continues for
Speaker 1: Week fifteen right here at Visa these Sports Betting Network. Okay, uh,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs at the st Chiefs at the Saints. Oh wow, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a good one Markey matchup. Well, we meant I
Speaker 1: gets all of this year before the bread. But we'll
Speaker 1: start Chiefs twelve and one They currently have the number
Speaker 1: one seed in the a f C. After their win
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh's loss yesterday, New Orleans now the number two
Speaker 1: seed in the NFC because of their loss and Green
Speaker 1: Bay's win. Casey clinches the a f C West title
Speaker 1: with that win against the Dolphins for the fifth straight season.
Speaker 1: By the way, they had a thirty yards sack in
Speaker 1: that game that Patrick Mahomes took the NFL's longest in
Speaker 1: five years. Four turnovers and a ten point deficit deficit.
Speaker 1: Kensa City overcame. All of that. Four turnovers, ten point deficit,
Speaker 1: thirty yards sack, No problem. We'll just outscore you thirty
Speaker 1: to three in the second and third quarters. It's their
Speaker 1: eighth straight win. They've reached twelve wins now for the
Speaker 1: third consecutive season. I think they're better this year than
Speaker 1: they were last year when they won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: I really do. Yeah. Mahomes ended up going twenty four
Speaker 1: thirty four. I keep buying Chiefs futures along the way,
Speaker 1: by the way, just to win it all. Just every
Speaker 1: once in a while, every week, I just bought theirs
Speaker 1: a little more because I just think they're They're better
Speaker 1: than everybody in the end. Mahomes was twenty four thirty
Speaker 1: four for three ninety one two touchdowns, mentioned the three
Speaker 1: picks in the three sacks. His first multi interception game
Speaker 1: in more than two years. He had three Yesterday, had
Speaker 1: two interceptions in the first twelve games of the year
Speaker 1: three Yesterday two in the first three drives Miami, turning
Speaker 1: them the ten points, turning them into ten points. Kelsey
Speaker 1: eight for one thirty four in a touchdown. Tyreek three
Speaker 1: for seventy nine in touchdown. Tyreek also ran in one
Speaker 1: for thirty two yards and a touchdown. Four forty six
Speaker 1: total yards. Oh McCole Hardman, just for good menasure good,
Speaker 1: just for good measure untouched on a sixty seven yard
Speaker 1: punt return for a touchdown. Minus three in turnovers, new problem,
Speaker 1: New Orleans nine game winning street snap. They were eight
Speaker 1: no over the past two seasons without Drew Brees before
Speaker 1: running into the Eagles, and again they're in the number
Speaker 1: two seed. Now already do have a playoff berth. But
Speaker 1: they only had ninety eight total yards in the first
Speaker 1: half against the Eagles. What was that? Taysom Hilly thirty
Speaker 1: eight two ninety one, two touchdowns, one pick. He was
Speaker 1: sacked five times five carries for thirty three Kamara eleven
Speaker 1: and fifty on the ground and a touchdown having catches
Speaker 1: for forty four yards Thomas eight for eighty four two
Speaker 1: forty six rushing yards allowed. The motioneen. I'll give you

Speaker 1: as well. Jason Cohn. Uh, you see the Heisman market.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about the US with a few tack tomorrow,
Speaker 1: but like we've been talking about the Heisman market being
Speaker 1: the most dynamic market all season long, more than any
Speaker 1: market you can ever remember. So the most thing ever. Oh,
Speaker 1: now it's Trevor Lawrence. Now it's Justin Fields. Now it's
Speaker 1: Kyle Trask. Now it's uh, it's Mac Jones. Yeah. In
Speaker 1: the end, it's not it might not be any of them,
Speaker 1: might be, might be devunked. Might be Devin Smith, who
Speaker 1: remember Adam Kramer and I talked about this on Friday.
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm so tired of this, so tired of
Speaker 1: this being a quarterbacks award, And he's right, and and
Speaker 1: maybe in the end, uh, maybe in the end, that's
Speaker 1: exactly who who should win the award. Maybe that's who
Speaker 1: it should be. It shouldn't be any of those quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: It should be DeVante Smith, who had a punt return
Speaker 1: for a touchdown this past weekend as well, So it'll
Speaker 1: be interesting. He's now the second short shot. I do
Speaker 1: I do wonder if that was artificially muted, because these
Speaker 1: books know if they threw him up at twenty to one,
Speaker 1: people would just go nuts pounding him. There's like plus
Speaker 1: three fifty now. Anyway, that's another that's a matter for
Speaker 1: another day. You were saying off air, Jason New England
Speaker 1: and Miami, what's the story here? Looks like there are
Speaker 1: no threes. Everything's been hit down to two and a half,
Speaker 1: and it looks like the board just lit up. Actually,
Speaker 1: but two and a half seems to be the only
Speaker 1: number available now in that Dolphins Patriots game? Is that right, Chris?
Speaker 1: What are you gonna open to that? Chris? Still playing
Speaker 1: an opening at three? Yeah, but I don't see any
Speaker 1: threes out there, so I reserved the right to change
Speaker 1: my mind. But the strange one, right, granted? Right? Granted? Uh? Kids, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wanted to I think real quick. You mentioned the
Speaker 1: map and Morgan Wootten. Yes, next time you get Jimmy
Speaker 1: on the show, he's got a story. I'll let him
Speaker 1: tell it. Does he really gotta ask him? I have
Speaker 1: a Morgan Wootten story. I have a Morgan Wooten story.
Speaker 1: I used to go to DC Metropolitan Basketball School, so
Speaker 1: all the best players in d C in the DC
Speaker 1: area would uh, we'd have camp at St. John's. I
Speaker 1: was not one of the best players, by the way,
Speaker 1: but all the best players were there, and uh, Morgan
Speaker 1: Woutten's only words to me the whole time we were there,
Speaker 1: tells you shows you what kind of talent I was
Speaker 1: and how how much he was honored. He listened. He was, hey,
Speaker 1: you you found your lunch bag. Son. This is the
Speaker 1: only thing more whatever said, because I had misplaced my
Speaker 1: lunch bag. I was like, oh my god, you know me.
Speaker 1: That's my big Morgan Wooden moment. Anyway, I'll ask Jimmy
Speaker 1: about that. I'm looking forward to that actually at Jimmy
Speaker 1: Viccarroll Morgan Wooden story, Casey at New Orleans. So all
Speaker 1: that that we said before the break again Casey with
Speaker 1: the number one seed now because they won in Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: lost New Orleans with the number two because they lost
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. One twelve and one Chiefs at the
Speaker 1: ten and three Saints. Uh, I will say four and
Speaker 1: a half in favor of the Chiefs. And it looks
Speaker 1: by every indication that this will be Taysom Hill again.
Speaker 1: It's three and a half. I see one four out there,
Speaker 1: but it's three and a half. And that's what my
Speaker 1: numbers came to. UM, I'm not sure you're wrong, though,
Speaker 1: you know I've been saying it all year. I'm not
Speaker 1: crazy about this Saints team. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: It's not crazy about him, Meg. You know they're fill
Speaker 1: in all the blanks offensively and defensively, even you know,
Speaker 1: with Taysom Hill or with Drew Brees. I'm just not
Speaker 1: crazy about this team. Um. Anyway, I'm gonna open three
Speaker 1: and a half. But you know, and you have gun
Speaker 1: to my head, I think I would play the Chiefs there.
Speaker 1: I would too. Uh say what you said, Jason, because
Speaker 1: you've been on this, Jason Cohn. Uh, if anything has
Speaker 1: been on the this Drew Brees, it's not a conspiracy.
Speaker 1: But tell tell everybody what you've been thinking from the
Speaker 1: beginning here. I think that Sean payton Is is putting
Speaker 1: up a smoke screen. And I don't think that Drew
Speaker 1: Brees is going to be coming back. And if, by
Speaker 1: any chance he comes back, I don't see him being effective,
Speaker 1: uh and playing for much more than a quarter or
Speaker 1: two until he gets hit once. I just the broken
Speaker 1: ribs and the punctured lung. I just, um, just doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense to me that he would be coming back
Speaker 1: to play. Jason has said this from the beginning, from
Speaker 1: the very beginning, you don't think Drew Brees is coming
Speaker 1: back at all. I don't. I think he'll be in
Speaker 1: the booth for the playoffs. Wow, well, I will say, yeah,
Speaker 1: that is well. It is eleven cracked ribs. There's almost
Speaker 1: a half rack, and then the punctured just stopped before
Speaker 1: the punctured lung and it's enough, right, and then you
Speaker 1: throw the punctured lung into it and it's punctured lung
Speaker 1: is a vicious thing. What is he thinking, Well, there's
Speaker 1: no timetable. There is still no timetable for his return.
Speaker 1: They had hoped to get him back for this showdown
Speaker 1: against the the Chiefs, but he's nowhere close to coming
Speaker 1: back apparently, And I don't know, maybe maybe young Jason
Speaker 1: con is onto something with that. It's a pr campaign.
Speaker 1: I think maybe all right, let's do one more before
Speaker 1: the break. If we can't hear Chrissie okay and little
Speaker 1: schaden Freud, they're here. The Dallas Francisco game was originally
Speaker 1: scheduled to be the night game and they've got flexed.
Speaker 1: How bad that stick in Jerry Jones's crossed down flex down.
Speaker 1: Oh Man? Anyway at the Cowboys, Yeah not. Niners have
Speaker 1: lost five of their past six games, including their loss
Speaker 1: to Washington yesterday. They're five and eight. They're playing out
Speaker 1: the string. Mullins forty five to fifty six, one touchdown,
Speaker 1: one pick. He was sacked four times. Are you contend
Speaker 1: for one sixteen? But they were minus two in turnovers
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, three turnovers entirely, two of which will
Speaker 1: return for touchdowns by Washington. They outgained Washington three fort
Speaker 1: We talked about Washington's offensive woes. Didn't matter when you
Speaker 1: return a fun before touchdown and a pick for a touchdown.
Speaker 1: And then Dallas. Dallas beat Cincinnati yesterday Dalton quote unquote
Speaker 1: revenge against the Bengal sixteen of twenty three for one
Speaker 1: eight five man. Did they trump up that narrative? Yes? Today,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, no picks. He was sacked twice, two seventy
Speaker 1: two total yards for Dallas. Cincinnati had three o nine,
Speaker 1: but there were plus three in turnovers. Again, that's all
Speaker 1: you need to know from the box score. Plus three
Speaker 1: in turnovers was Dallas Bengals fumbled the ball away on
Speaker 1: their first three drives, one fumble return for a touchdown
Speaker 1: by Aldon Smith led to seventeen first half points by
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Katie barred the door. That was all they
Speaker 1: needed again, one person, one bold person had the Cowboys
Speaker 1: and survivor. I'll say the Niners will still be favorite.
Speaker 1: I'll say by three. Oh you're a little light. It's
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you're a little high. It's two and a half.
Speaker 1: I'd see some two and alf juice on the favorite.
Speaker 1: Three one, three, I would joined every respect but three
Speaker 1: with juice on the dog. I only made this one.
Speaker 1: I mean, but I gotta I'm gonna tell you right now.
Speaker 1: I've had so much trouble handicap in this miners team
Speaker 1: all year. You know, guys in and out of the lineup,
Speaker 1: in and out. But I think I would be tempted
Speaker 1: to take three on day all. I'm gonna open two
Speaker 1: and a half. Dude, they made Lane it to me,
Speaker 1: but I think that's okay. I'm gonna open Niners two
Speaker 1: and a half. I'm not touching it. I think I
Speaker 1: like Kansas City though at the short number against New Orleans,
Speaker 1: but I'm not touching this one. All right. We got
Speaker 1: primetime games get too. We will get to that. We'll
Speaker 1: review it all right. Here guessing lines on a numbers
Speaker 1: game at Visa the Sports Betting Network's Gill Alexander. It's
Speaker 1: Chrissy Andrews. Jason con Jason, you were saying about the
Speaker 1: Cardinals game this weekend with the Eagles. Yeah, it looks
Speaker 1: like it's minus six is uh just about across the board.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of points, man, Aaron off Air here
Speaker 1: producing Lombardi line. Also DC kid. Uh, he said it
Speaker 1: best with this game. Even though I say that, I'm like,
Speaker 1: it seems like a lot of points. Maybe I should
Speaker 1: at the Eagles. That is the quintessential game of you
Speaker 1: will know within a drive what you're like. I can't
Speaker 1: believe I've been on the Eagles, right, I can't believe
Speaker 1: I laid six with a card. It's just such a
Speaker 1: Some of these games are such. I mean, it's all
Speaker 1: play go. We should put that on the T shirt. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's already on a T shirt and so's in game.
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, I don't want that six now everywhere?
Speaker 1: What are you putting that? What are you putting that
Speaker 1: up up? Chris? I still see one five and a half,
Speaker 1: which I respect that and think I'm an open at
Speaker 1: five and a half. Okay, five and a half here
Speaker 1: at the South Point, let's go to Sunday Night. Sunday Night,
Speaker 1: the Browns at the Giants. All right, so Browns again
Speaker 1: sight unseen. They play the Ravens tonight, and oh what
Speaker 1: a game that should be. We're gonna have fun with
Speaker 1: that on Primetime Action. I haven't talked about Prime Time
Speaker 1: Action yet. This morning uh MS G plus Primetime Action
Speaker 1: seven to tend Eastern Monday through Friday. It's me, Matt Brown,
Speaker 1: Danielle Lvar, Kelly Bidlin in game betting. We have an
Speaker 1: absolute blast with that show. So that should be fun tonight.
Speaker 1: Baltimore now a three point favorite at Cleveland. Huge implications
Speaker 1: for both teams. Baltimore on the outside looking in the
Speaker 1: a f C Cleveland with designs on the a f
Speaker 1: C North all of a sudden, but this is Cleveland
Speaker 1: at the Giants. Cleveland. Okay, haven't played yet. Giants lose
Speaker 1: to the Cardinals yesterday and pretty comprehensively, as I said,
Speaker 1: they ended a four game winning streak and now are
Speaker 1: a game behind Washington for the NFC East lead. Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones eleven for twenty one for one twenty seven no
Speaker 1: touchdowns note picks, but he was sacked six times. He
Speaker 1: lost a fumble. He was limping by the end of
Speaker 1: the game, which is usually the telltale sign of maybe
Speaker 1: you weren't really healthy to begin with. Here, Colt McCoy
Speaker 1: got in two for three for eighteen yards. He was
Speaker 1: sacked twice two for good measure. Eight sacks of the
Speaker 1: Giants by the Cardinals. Uh ten first downs. Total for
Speaker 1: the Giants against the Cardinals ten hundred fifty nine total
Speaker 1: yards minus three in turnovers twenty two fifteen in time
Speaker 1: of possession, five punts, two fumbles in the first half.
Speaker 1: None of that good. Uh So Again, barring any major
Speaker 1: injuries tonight for Cleveland or anything unforeseen, I would say
Speaker 1: Cleveland minus six can't be shorter than that. Right, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's way shorter than that. It's three and a half
Speaker 1: pretty much. What yeah, yeah, yeah, Now I gotta tell
Speaker 1: you my numbers. My power ratings came to three. I
Speaker 1: immediately saw three and that like that better. Daniel Jones,
Speaker 1: he really played much better down this stretch where they
Speaker 1: had that winning streak. But he was thought himself yesterday
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if he was. You know,
Speaker 1: I have to think that he was hurt, not acent
Speaker 1: that Colt mcquoy I think is okay is a backup.
Speaker 1: I mean, still a couple of points worse than Jones service.
Speaker 1: So I do like the higher number here, but I
Speaker 1: don't know if I go over three and a half
Speaker 1: at this point, you know, I mean that's like Cleveland.
Speaker 1: They've played well, and they looked like they're getting better
Speaker 1: and better as a year has gone on, but they've
Speaker 1: played their best against like some bad teams. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: I think tonight's a huge test form. I don't predict.
Speaker 1: I like them tonight, but you know, I think ask fun.
Speaker 1: I have no beet for that number at all. Who
Speaker 1: did the Giants play the week before? Who they played
Speaker 1: before the Cardinals this week? Whoever they were playing last week?
Speaker 1: Seahawks right even in victory, right fourteen first downs? You know,
Speaker 1: it was like they do nothing on offense. Nothing, And
Speaker 1: I am told Chrissy that you cannot win games unless
Speaker 1: you score. I am told this intermation. I just all right,
Speaker 1: maybe my six is high, but three I would pound
Speaker 1: the Browns at three. Come on, okay, threw my numbers
Speaker 1: came to three. But as soon as I saw the
Speaker 1: three and alf, I like that much better. You know,
Speaker 1: so three and a half power say, but power ratings
Speaker 1: are just a place to start. I mean, I listen,
Speaker 1: i'd be an indication. I obviously like the Browns here
Speaker 1: based on that, though, I will say this about the Browns.
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for their conquer game for a while now,
Speaker 1: and so it's going to come at some point. But
Speaker 1: I'll take the Browns of your only if I'm only
Speaker 1: land three and a half there, all right? And then
Speaker 1: Monday night, Moday, and I the Steelers at the Bengals. Wait,
Speaker 1: so we flex Dallas San Francisco out, and we flexed
Speaker 1: the Browns and the Giants in. Is that what you're
Speaker 1: telling me? New York? It's New York? Just to add
Speaker 1: insult to Jerry Jones, right, why did we flex that
Speaker 1: in division? I was like, I was thinking to myself.
Speaker 1: I was like, didn't he tell me they probably could
Speaker 1: the Chiefs insane. They probably couldn't do that. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: probably couldn't, yes, But of all the other choices, that's
Speaker 1: where they came up with. Wow. I guess you know,
Speaker 1: as I look back on these and I guess I
Speaker 1: didn't notice it while we were going through them. But
Speaker 1: besides that game, oh my god, these are bad. Saturday
Speaker 1: is gonna be a better day, Battery, I'll be better.
Speaker 1: Even those games are kind of sucky. New England, Miami College. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying NFL besides Kansas City, New Orleans, like
Speaker 1: maybe New England and Miami's the best game. That's horrible
Speaker 1: if that's the next best game, you know, just in
Speaker 1: terms of fan interest. But they're all bettable. That's why
Speaker 1: we're here all right Monday night. Sorry, Stealers at the Bengals,
Speaker 1: Steelers at the Bungles Uh. Steelers now two game losing
Speaker 1: streak after going eleven and oh, as we mentioned, they
Speaker 1: lose to Buffalo last night, and that game really did
Speaker 1: turn on that pick six in the final minute of
Speaker 1: the first quarter and then and then the Bills ran
Speaker 1: them out in the second half. You're a Steelers fan.
Speaker 1: You did clinch a playoff burs Steelers did with the
Speaker 1: Miami lost to Kansas City. Steelers had clinched a playoff
Speaker 1: birth before they even took the field last night, but
Speaker 1: they only had fourteen first ounds against the Bills and
Speaker 1: they were one of ten on third down, Like it
Speaker 1: was just no problem for the Bills to get them
Speaker 1: off the field. They only had two total yards, only
Speaker 1: forty seven rushing. Again, Pittsburgh cannot run the football, period.
Speaker 1: And then when Big Ben goes into that short passing
Speaker 1: game like Ebron and Deonte Johnson, like, you never know
Speaker 1: if they're catching the ball. You're never if they're catching
Speaker 1: the ball or not. First play of the game yesterday,
Speaker 1: Deante drops the ball. Twenty four minutes, forty five seconds.
Speaker 1: That's all they had in time of possession yesterday. Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: has been held under twenty points now in three straight games,
Speaker 1: three straight. Big Ben was thirty seven for one eight seven,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, two picks, He was sacked ones and then
Speaker 1: they're sitting Senata to ten and one. Zach Taylor's just
Speaker 1: not working, um Alan, Brandon Allen, there's so many Allen's
Speaker 1: out there. Brandon Allen twenty seven, thirty six for two, seventeen,
Speaker 1: one touchdown, note picks. He wasn't sacked in the Bengals
Speaker 1: loss to the Cowboys, which, as we mentioned, the Bengals
Speaker 1: just kind of handed them on a silver platter with
Speaker 1: all their turnovers in the first half minus three in
Speaker 1: turnovers for the game where the Bengals. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is gonna be huge too. So whoever has Pittsburgh left
Speaker 1: and survivor, which will probably be very few people, but
Speaker 1: there will be a few. We'll have to check the percentages.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's even fewer than half the Rams left,
Speaker 1: which is just under Pittsburgh, probably single digit percent left.
Speaker 1: From guessing somewhere around there. I'll make them fourteen point
Speaker 1: favorites against the Bengals. I mean, the Bengals might be
Speaker 1: worse than the Jaguars. The Bengals might be the second
Speaker 1: worst team in football non Joe Burrows just thinking about Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was just thinking the same thing. You know, I
Speaker 1: talked about the Jaguars. You know, they've got to be
Speaker 1: given up at this point in time. I would hope
Speaker 1: the Bengals are going to get rid of this coach.
Speaker 1: I mean, he is just awful, and you know they
Speaker 1: have a good nucleus, but even then there's players that
Speaker 1: they abandoned ship midway through the season. Here, uh my
Speaker 1: numbers came the thirteen with the Steelers. I see it
Speaker 1: all pretty much. We're gonna star like a blank at
Speaker 1: twelve and a half some thirt teams with juice on
Speaker 1: the dog. Uh you know, I'll tell you too. I'm
Speaker 1: open this twelve and a half. You know, I just uh,
Speaker 1: the Steelers right now, they know they can't run the ball,
Speaker 1: they can't throw long, so everybody they're defensively, they just
Speaker 1: sit on all these receivers. They know nobody's gonna you know,
Speaker 1: fake short and go along. They know that. Um. I mean,
Speaker 1: they've been exposed in the last three weeks, you know, badly, badly.
Speaker 1: I've dropped my power ratings on them like five points,
Speaker 1: which is pretty dramatic at this point in the season.
Speaker 1: You don't have like a quarterback injury or something like that.
Speaker 1: But they've been exposed and uh, you know, like they
Speaker 1: should win this game. Yeah, okay, they're playing the Bengals.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna open twelve and a half. I just
Speaker 1: I have such very little confidence in this team at
Speaker 1: this point in time. They have a lot of frogs
Speaker 1: they need to fix, like right now, and I don't
Speaker 1: know that they're fixable. I really don't. In the end,
Speaker 1: a lot of survivor options that will come down to
Speaker 1: who's got who available, So in the end here, you know,
Speaker 1: it worries me that I like a lot and I
Speaker 1: don't like any of them like that passionately. I like
Speaker 1: Miami for sure. If it's two and a half against
Speaker 1: New England, give me Miami. I like Cleveland if I'm
Speaker 1: only having to give three and a half against the Giants.
Speaker 1: Casey seems a little light against New Orleans, And dare
Speaker 1: I say I like Philly catchy six against Arizona. I
Speaker 1: may look to regret that. But those are the four Miami, Cleveland,
Speaker 1: Kansas City in Philadelphia. How about you? I got them
Speaker 1: next to Miami. That's you who claim that I would
Speaker 1: say that I really like um maybe for me, because
Speaker 1: the week goes on, I'll probably have about fourteen games
Speaker 1: that I like right now. Yeah, we'll talk ourselves out
Speaker 1: of those and into four other ones and it'll be
Speaker 1: a whole thing. This is it gets dice, heer and
Speaker 1: dice here. And obviously three weeks left, Week seventeen the
Speaker 1: scoreliest of them all, because they'll be motivation issues uh
Speaker 1: that week as well. But it's always interesting and at
Speaker 1: least we have Saturday games and we've got college football
Speaker 1: paired at those two NFL games on Saturday, so should
Speaker 1: be a great weekend. Chrissy, As always, I thank you, sir.
Speaker 1: My pleasure yo, Always a pleasure, my friend, always a pleasure.
Speaker 1: My find the most pleasurable two hours of the week
Speaker 1: here on a Monday morning. We'll do it again next week.
Speaker 1: Good luck with everything that you decided to bet in
Speaker 1: week fifteen. Good luck with the Ravens and the Browns tonight.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be awesome. From all of us here, at
Speaker 1: least the Sports Betting Network
