There's stuff I want to 16 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: talk about, but I don't necessarily want to wait for 17 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: you to ask me Fake questions, real answers. Here we go. 18 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 1: Dear Colin, what do you make of the psychedelic brew 19 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers had? Well, I don't care if he takes it. 20 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: I just wouldn't advertise it. I think public figures like 21 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers have to be very careful about saying they 22 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: don't believe epidemiologists, and they googled stuff and found stuff 23 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: you should take instead. I don't know. I respect doctors. 24 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: Mental health is serious. That's why we have licensed professional 25 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: mental health specialists all over America. Hey, if you want 26 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: to take a psychedelic trip and poop and barf your 27 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: brains out, go for it. I wouldn't talk about it. 28 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: Let's be hot. We have a consumption issue in America. 29 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: People can't control what they drink, what they eat, and 30 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: a thousand people will now give this psychedelic hallucinogenic a run. 31 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: Somebody could get in trouble. Go see a professional, a doctor, 32 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: a licensed therapist. We've gotten to a dangerous point in 33 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: society where we trust Joe Rogan more than our doctor. 34 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: Dear Colin, what do you make of Nick Saban's motive 35 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: for calling last year's Crimson Tide a rebuilding team? Well, 36 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: my take is a little bit maybe of an excuse 37 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: for not beating Georgia for the national championship. But what 38 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: separates Alabama from even a great program like Ohio State 39 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: is Alabama has no holes. They have a plus quarterback 40 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: play annually. They're physical to line of scrimmage both sides. 41 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: They can run it, they can be flashy. They're progressive 42 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: offensively without losing their physicality and their reputation as a 43 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: power run team. Ohio State last two years has been 44 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: around sixtieth in the country in defense. Michigan Oregon pushed 45 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 1: them over the field. Nobody pushes around Alabama. Even Georgia 46 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: can't get their quarterback right. LSU has a different head coach. 47 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: It feels like every three or four years. Alabama in 48 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: my lifetime is the one program that doesn't appear to 49 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: have a whole, even when compared in that super galaxy 50 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: of five or six top programs like Oklahoma, Clemson, Ohio State, Georgia, LSU. 51 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 1: Find me the whole. I can never find it with Bama. 52 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: Dear Collins, you read that story about the co owner 53 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: of the Dolphins and Tom Brady talking years ago about 54 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: him joining Miami. What do you make of it? Not 55 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: much more pearl clutching. Michael Jordan at the end of 56 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: his career got into ownership, so did Derek Jeter. Tom 57 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: Brady wants to I mean good guy. There was a 58 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: story two weeks ago, three weeks ago about Las Vegas 59 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: getting an NBA team, and people are already projecting that 60 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: Lebron James would be one of the owners. When people 61 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: have a three, four or five hundred million dollars net worth, 62 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,799 Speaker 1: they're not going to put it all in real estate. 63 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: They're not going to put it all in the stock market. 64 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: They're going to put it in something they know. What 65 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: does Michael know? And Jeter no? And Lebron no, and 66 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning no, and Brady no a pro sports franchise. 67 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: Brady was really good friends with Robert Kraft. He probably 68 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: asked him lots of questions about NFL or pro sports ownership. 69 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: Lebron's got a share in the Boston Fenway group. He 70 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: has a share in a Liverpool group. I think you're 71 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: unrealistic or maybe idealistic if you think really rich people 72 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:10,679 Speaker 1: aren't talking all the time about opportunities. I don't think 73 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: anything less of Tom Brady at the end of his 74 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: New England career and in his Tampa career, having a 75 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: wealthy friend in the NFL ownership group who probably over 76 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: Martini's once twice or ten times, discussed the possibility of 77 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: Tom eventually moving upstairs and off the field. Sometimes we 78 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: have to be realistic in the media. This kind of 79 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: shit happens all the time with rich dudes. Dear Colin, 80 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: you're a sports broadcaster. What impact did Vin Scully have 81 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 1: on your career? Well, thank you for noticing then, I'm 82 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: a sports broadcaster. That in itself makes me very happy. 83 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you could have said I was a CPA, 84 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: so you know, let's get that down. Listen. He illustrated 85 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: the importance of preparation. You know, I do a three 86 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: hour show every day. I prep for a long time. Now, 87 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: stories break all the time. This week, I was just 88 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: about to go on the air, and Juan Soto to 89 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: the Padres broke ninety seconds before I went on the 90 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: air live, So you can't prep for everything. But when 91 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: I listened to Scully when I was younger, in my 92 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: early twenties, the volume of work he had done before 93 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: the game started, the notes, the preparation were so impressive 94 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 1: they were almost intimidating. And I think the greatest compliment 95 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: you can ever give the listening audience is preparation. That 96 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: you're paying people respect, that you've done the homework. Though 97 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: not perfect, You've done a lot of it. Dear Colin, 98 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: Lebron's eligible to sign an extension with the Lakers. Do 99 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: you see him retiring as a Laker or moving on 100 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: in his career. He's going to retire as a Laker. Listen, 101 00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: California is really expensive. Los Angeles County is really really expensive. 102 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: And one hundred thousand people or one hundred and fifty 103 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: thousand people moved out of California or LA County in 104 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: the last couple of years because it's really really expensive. 105 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: It's always been price even now because of tech. You know, 106 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: it's insane. But here's when you shouldn't leave California when 107 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: you're a star, a writer, a producer, an athlete, an actor. 108 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: Because really, the industry that drives a big chunk of 109 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: LA County's commerce is the elevation of stars. It's great, 110 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: better than any place in North America, perhaps globally. It's 111 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: an industry agents, pr people funds built to support you. 112 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: Lebron James will never live in a county that is built, 113 00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: constructed to elevate all of his businesses. Hey, if you're 114 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: middle class, you're a school teacher, you just got married, 115 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: you want to buy a house. It's probably not the 116 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: best place to live, but for people like Lebron, men 117 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: or women, don't leave unless you have to. Let's begin. 118 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: Chad Milman, all right, Chad Milman is the chief content 119 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: officer of the Action Network, And here we go into 120 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: training camps, preseason betting. Now, I do not bet preseason. 121 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: I do not. It's changed four games to three Chad starters. 122 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: Sean McVay sort of introduced a new concept, which is 123 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: sit all starters for all games. So is it dicier 124 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: to bet than ever before? I think it's dicier if 125 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: you don't know what you're doing and you're not paying attention, 126 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: But if you're thinking about it situationally and following the 127 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: right beat reporters on Twitter, or understanding how certain coaches 128 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: treat the preseason. Sean McVay, you just mentioned he is 129 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: one of those coaches who basically does not play his 130 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: starters in the preseason. But you look at the Ravens 131 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: and what John Harbaugh does, and they go undefeated every 132 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: year in the preseason, so it really becomes something that 133 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: is much more situational. You said, used to be four games, 134 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: now it's three games. You used to be able to 135 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: count to the fact that in the first half of 136 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: the third game, that's when most of the starters we're 137 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: going to get reps in the first half. Obviously you 138 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: don't have that anymore. So you really got to be 139 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: paying much closer attention if you want to make any plays. 140 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: So I want to talk today about some divisional bets. 141 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: I think we're having a bit of a cultural change 142 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL. We saw it in baseball about six 143 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: years ago, where home runs and strikeouts are what drives 144 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: the sport. No longer home runs, the groundball is the 145 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: enemy of the offense. It's not the strikeout. In basketball, 146 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: about ten years ago, it went from take three pointers 147 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: with precaution and discretion too. If you can't shoot one, 148 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: you don't play. In football, we've had a pivot in 149 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and I think the Dolphins 150 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: are a great example of this, where every playoff team 151 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: in the NFC had an offensive coach that Belichick is struggling, 152 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, Zimmer fired, Brian Flores fired, Vic Fangio fire, 153 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: Lovey Smith probably not there long in that. Zach Taylor 154 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: now and a flawed football team and a young staff 155 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: has the right quarterback. I think Miami is at the 156 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: centerpiece of this, and I'll tell you why, because first 157 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: two years a lot of turbulence, agitation, trade rumors with Tua, 158 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: all sorts of rumors, a lot of turbulence, no support. 159 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: And I think the Dolphins did it right. They pivoted 160 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: to a coach from a quarterback friendly staff. They spent 161 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: money on the weapons, and I think the Dolphins are 162 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: going to take a big leap this year. I feel 163 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: they're a playoff team. I don't think the Patriots have 164 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: the weapons, or the Jets have the construct and the 165 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: coaching ranks, or I just don't think they're as well 166 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: run right now. So the Dolphins are four fifty first 167 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: explained to the audience because a lot of people that 168 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: listen to this are not sharps. I like the Dolphins 169 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: at four fifty as a division winner, and I know 170 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: we all love Buffalo, but they showed some signs last 171 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: year where they struggled against better teams. They have that 172 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: Mike Tyson quality. They roll you if they spot weakness, 173 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 1: they play downhill. But I think Dolphins four fifty to 174 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: win the AFC East is kind of interesting to me. 175 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: It's worth a nibble your thoughts. I don't know if 176 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm hankering for a nibble on that. Don't disagree that 177 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: I liked their prospects. I subscribe to your theory that 178 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: bringing in an offensive coach to help and give him 179 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: the weapons that they have now added around him to 180 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: let him flourish and reach the potential that everyone believed 181 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: he could reach when he was drafted fifth overall by 182 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: the Dolphins. But look, if it was last year and 183 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: the Bills had done what they've done two years ago, 184 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: where Josh Allen really came into his own and you 185 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: were betting on a regression for the Bills, I would say, 186 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: this is the year you take a flyer at plus 187 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: four fifty on the Dolphins. This isn't that year. The 188 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: Bills have arguably the best quarterback in the NFL. They 189 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: have a receiver who can match him, they have a 190 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: coach who is at the peak of his powers. And 191 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: last year, one of the reasons why people were saying 192 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: you bet against the Bills is because they had had 193 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: that success, there might be some regression. This is a 194 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: team that to me is ascendant, that fought through that 195 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 1: regression to get to where they did last year. This 196 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: is not where I would place sort of a flyer 197 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 1: that the Bills wouldn't be the team that wins their 198 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: division outright.

So AFC 216 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: North odds. Not only are the Steelers picked for fourth, 217 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: Vegas doesn't buy any of it at their plus nine fifty, 218 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: whereas Browns or third at plus three hundred, so Steelers 219 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: are considered an I I agree with this now if 220 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson plays at all. I said this the other 221 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: day that as the league is pivoting to offense, the 222 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: Steelers are last in the NFL and offensive spending. Defensive 223 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: coaches they're best friends in the business, are often defensive coaches. 224 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: They've made several missteps hiring offensive coordinators. They can't get 225 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: it right on their offensive line, and I worry about 226 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: There are things I like about Mike Tomlin. But I 227 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: got Lamar, I got Burrow, I got potentially to Seawan. 228 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: Trubisky is not only fourth, he is a deep fourth. 229 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: I think we're as much as I criticize Ben. He 230 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: led the NFL and fourth quarter comebacks last year. This 231 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: team has an offensive problem, and I think a lot 232 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: of it stems from a defensive leaning head coach. Am 233 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: I nuts, well, you're very anti defensive head coaches. Clearly 234 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: that's the that's what you're going to pick on today. 235 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: Totally get it. But then what do you say about 236 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh, right, because he is a defensive coach, and 237 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: that team is the favorite to win the division, and 238 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: it's hard to argue against it because you got Lamar Jackson, 239 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: who a lot of people say did regress a little 240 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: bit last year and there are starting to be some 241 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: flaws in his game. I'm not criticizing the guy. I'm 242 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: not saying I don't want him on my team. I 243 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: would definitely want him. I'm just saying the performance wasn't 244 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: where it had been in the past, right, And last 245 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: year their defense was in shambles as far as injuries, 246 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: and this was still a team that midway through the 247 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: year was one of the top seeds in the AFC. 248 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: So it's hard to go against John Harbaugh and the 249 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: Ravens in that division. I do think that what's interesting 250 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: is Joe Burrow. Clearly something happened to him in the 251 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,719 Speaker 1: Super Bowl when someone rolled up on his knee and 252 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: he was injured in the second half, and he wasn't 253 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: the same player. And now he's been limited in training 254 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: camp this year because of different illnesses. So I'm not 255 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: going to discount Joe Burrow he's obviously to me, one 256 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 1: of the top five six quarterbacks in the league. I 257 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: don't think Zach Taylor is that great of a coach, 258 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: and I think Joe Burrow made him look much much 259 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: better than he has a little bit like Aaron Rodgers 260 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,639 Speaker 1: for years made Mike McCarthy look like a genius until 261 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: it became untenable. The Steelers to me, are interesting now. 262 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: Their defense is amazing. Mike Tomlin has proven he can 263 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: get just about anybody to the playoff. Don't forget the 264 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:49,719 Speaker 1: Duck Hodges era. And to me, it's not about probably 265 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: taking the Steelers to win the division, but I would 266 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 1: take the Steelers over seven and a half wins. The 267 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: Steelers have been have had seven and a half wins 268 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: in a season as their benchmark according to bookmakers four 269 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: times since nineteen ninety two. They've crushed it every single time, 270 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: and the last time was two thousand and four. They 271 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 1: went fifteen to one with Big Ben. Obviously, Mitch Trubisky 272 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: and Kenny Pickett are not Big Ben at two thousand 273 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: and four as a rookie, but I do think with 274 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin and a defense like this, they're being undervalued 275 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: at seven and a half, especially in a division that 276 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: has a defending AFC champion and a team in the 277 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: Ravens that people think is ascended. Yeah, so I like 278 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,959 Speaker 1: Trubisky as a bridge quarterback. I think he's gonna stink, 279 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: But well, look right, literally this second, this second, colin 280 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky is trending on Twitter for how badly he's 281 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: playing in training camp. Right he's listen, he had Andy 282 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: Reid's offense with Matt Naggie in a division that there's 283 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: a lot of wins there outside of going to Lambeau 284 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 1: and listen, they just I have people that I know 285 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: that cover the Bears and people I respect. He was 286 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: driving Naggie crazy. He can't throw the ball down the field. 287 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: I remember being on a vacation in Hawaii. I've told 288 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: this story. When Trubisky's name came up. Greg co Sell 289 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: said he's going to get drafted first round. So I 290 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: took like three hours in the afternoon to watch Mitch 291 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: Trubisky play like Florida State, and I called Greg co 292 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: Sell and I'm like, I don't get it, don't I 293 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: don't even understand how that's a first round quarterback. His 294 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 1: ball dies at twenty yards. He's a front leg thrower. 295 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 1: That that's not a franchise quarterback. I think he's a 296 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: great bridge and maybe the league's best backup. I think 297 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: he's gonna stink. I think you're gonna see it early. 298 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: You know, the Lamar critics cracked me up. First year, 299 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: he starts late, goes six and one. Next year wins 300 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: the MVP. Next year wins a playoff game. Last year 301 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: has the number one seed and gets hurt Jesus people. 302 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: He wins seventy six percent of the games he starts. 303 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: I don't care esthetically what it looks like. You win 304 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: seventy six percent of the game. I'm a coach driver 305 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: to the arena. I can win the game, that's all. 306 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: I don't care about Kyler Murray's work habits. All I 307 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 1: know is when he's my quarterback, I could beat the 308 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: Rams in LA. I absolutely could. I think we'd spend 309 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: so much time getting past winning. Lamar wins. I like winning. 310 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: I don't care what it looks like through that entire rant. 311 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: You know what my takeaway is not that you notice 312 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: Mitch Truebisky can throw the ball more than twenty yards 313 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 1: downfield and that he throws off his front foot. He's 314 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: a front foot thrower. I'm on vacation and I decide 315 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: to take three hours to watch Mitch Truebisky play against 316 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: Florida State. And I believe you are on vacation a 317 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: month ago, I don't know. You win Saint Bart's Abisa, Barbados, 318 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: some fantastic tropical island. Every freaking day there was an 319 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: Instagram reel or something from Cowherd about what was going 320 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: on in the world. I just got back from vacation 321 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: on Monday. I was away for two weeks. I was 322 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: in Italy. I did not check slack, I did not 323 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: check email. I texted with four people. You were one 324 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: of them, by the way. That was it. Yeah, that 325 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: is the difference between you and me. That is why 326 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: you are a brilliant multi media mogul who's who's on 327 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: the airkward swing and I'm a guy who guess, like 328 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: a twenty minute segment once a week. That's it, all right, 329 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: Be that as it may. I trust you on betting. 330 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: So here's another one, AFC West, because I want to 331 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,479 Speaker 1: talk to AFC South. It bores me. AFC West, listen. 332 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people inside the Chargers, including 333 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 1: the Spano's family and they are they are picked to 334 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: be second in this division, and you loved him last year. 335 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: So sometimes the media does this because the media wants 336 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: to be thought of as smart. You know, they did 337 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: a study a couple of years ago on the media 338 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: and now they compared to the average the public, they 339 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: drink more than the public, and they think higher of 340 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: themselves than the public. And so the Chargers because they 341 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: have a coach who I think's a smart guy, but 342 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily know if he's a good football coach. 343 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: I just think he's smart. But the media likes smart, 344 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: and so everybody's into Brandon Staley. And I watched them 345 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: go for it, like on fourth and seven deep in 346 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: their own territory, and I'm like, I don't care what 347 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: analytics say. If you'd have gotten the first down, you 348 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: needed five more to get in field goal range risk reward. 349 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: That wasn't smart. I trust Jimmy Johnson. He said that 350 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: wasn't smart. So I don't know if Brandon Staley is 351 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: a good football coach. I know he's bright, and I 352 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: know analytically people love him because he's a goal for 353 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: it guy. I think we're given them a lot more 354 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: credit than they deserve. I still like the middle of 355 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: their defense. I think you can run and take the 356 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: ball away from Justin Herbert. That is a great analysis 357 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: of the Chargers, and I am one of those people 358 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: who has been high on the Chargers in spite of 359 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: Brandon Staley, to be honest, because I truly believed in 360 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: a lot of what Justin Herbert has been able to 361 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: do in pressure situations. I like their receiving corps, and honestly, 362 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: I thought that Derwin James, when he's healthy or when 363 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: he's not in a contract dispute, can truly be a 364 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: top two or three defensive safety in the defensive backfield. 365 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: And they've got a tremendous pass rush and they really 366 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 1: did a great job building their offensive line last year. 367 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 1: So to me, it's about the weapons that are on 368 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: the field and overcoming sometimes decision making that Brandon Staley 369 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,320 Speaker 1: makes that feels like he's trying to prove game theory 370 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: more than he's actually trying to win the game that's 371 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 1: in front of him, right, And there is a philosophy 372 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: here that I truly believe in. There's a difference between 373 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: deciding you're going to stick to a discipline no matter 374 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: what the circumstances, and playing the situation that's in front 375 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: of you. And I don't know that he's always playing 376 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,959 Speaker 1: the situation that's in front of him. As evidence by 377 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: what you just said, as evidence in games that we 378 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: saw last year, especially that game against the Chiefs, that's set, 379 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: that's set. Are the Raiders good enough now? Are we 380 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: enough of a believer in Derek Carr and Davante Adams 381 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,439 Speaker 1: as a duo. Are we enough of believing just what 382 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: Josh McDonald's can do with the rest of that team. 383 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: Do we think Russell Wilson, even though he's still young, 384 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: as an older quarterback with a team that we don't 385 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: know what we're going to get out of them yet, 386 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: can be better than a team that's had a couple 387 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: of years to Gael, or better than a team that 388 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: has been the dominant team in the AFC West. So 389 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: you need to tell me if you don't like the 390 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 1: Chargers and you don't like the Chiefs, because that's going 391 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 1: to be chalky. Are you telling me you like the Broncos? 392 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: Are you like the Raiders? Yep? Okay, I like the Bronchos. 393 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: I like them too. I think they have the best. 394 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: I think they have a really good combination of a smart, 395 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: young coach, a fantastic quarterback, an underrated general manager, excellent corners, 396 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: elite pass rushers. I mean they went out, people forget this. 397 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: They went out. They had Bradley Chubb, they added Chris 398 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: Is it not Chris Jones? Is it DJ Jones from 399 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: Randy Gregory from the Cowboys, and then a Niner interior 400 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: defensive lineman who is really well thought of. I think 401 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: they're suddenly going to have a really elite defensive line. 402 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: I think they have a decent offensive line. I think 403 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: it's a really good team. And I was seeing Brady 404 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: and Stafford back to back join Ross that simply needed 405 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: a catalyst, and I think that's what Denver needs. They 406 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: needed an offensive minded coach and a catalyst. And I 407 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: think they're going to be really good. And people say, 408 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: well the division's tough, Well so is Stafford's division. And 409 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl, so is the SEC. And 410 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt Bama in Georgia. I think when you 411 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: go through a gauntlet of playing really good games every 412 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: other week, it's metal. It tests you. And I think 413 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: Denver is going to come out of that division wildcard 414 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: or winning it. Having played in massive national TV games 415 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 1: and ready to roll in the playoffs are going to 416 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: feel like a breather. We had Jordan Palmer on the 417 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: Favorites podcast, which is on the Volume podcast network. Tremendously 418 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: successful podcast network. Congratulations on that, and he was tremendous 419 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 1: because he talked about Russell Wilson and he said he's 420 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: kind of corny, He's not the guy that he'd want 421 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 1: to hang out with, but players know what they're getting 422 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: from him, and more than anything else. I asked Palmer specifically, 423 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: does rah Rayle work? I asked Tiki Barber this too 424 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: in a different podcast. Does ra Ra work? And they're like, no, 425 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: ra Rod doesn't work. You want to know that people 426 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 1: are going to execute the play that's called. You want 427 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: to know that they're going to be consistent. And the 428 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,879 Speaker 1: reason Russell Wilson has players believe in him over the 429 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: course of a game and the reason why he can 430 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: pull rabbits out of the hat as the game gets 431 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: closer to the end and they are ten points down 432 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: and you need Russell Wilson to secure the backdoor cover 433 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: or they are four points down and you need to 434 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 1: touchdown and win the game. Is because they know he's 435 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: going to be consistent and make the same play every time. 436 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: That's why people believe in him. So I subscribe to 437 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: you to sorry about the Broncos. And if it was 438 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: a choice between the Raiders and the Broncos, I would 439 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: one hundred percent use the Bronchos. Let's slide over to 440 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: the NFC. The two divisions that really interest me are 441 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: the NFC North and the NFC West. So let's start 442 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: NFC North. The Vikings are plus three hundred. Chat explained 443 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: to our audience. What that means basically means that it's 444 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: three to one. So plus three hundred is you bet 445 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: one hundred dollars on the Vikings to win the NFC North, 446 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 1: you get back three hundred dollars. I think it's the 447 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: best division bet in the league. So the Packers are 448 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: minus one seventy. They have no number one receiver or 449 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: number two, highly reliant on Aaron Rodgers, who has a 450 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: history of trust issues not only with receivers but family 451 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: with a medical community. That's Aaron's personality. Minnesota gets every 452 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: go either tough, every go either way game that's tough 453 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: at home except Buffalo. They have an offensive coach, Kirk 454 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: Cousins got an extension. He'll feel supported. I think they 455 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: elevated their defense too, and they had a weird number 456 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: of close losses last year in tuting, including two overtime losses. 457 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: So I'm a believer when teams win too many close 458 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 1: games and you never get that break the following year, 459 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: when you lose seemingly every close game, you win him 460 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: the following year. They won eight games last year. I 461 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,480 Speaker 1: have him win him thirteen this year. And they also 462 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: get a break because they get green Bay Week one, 463 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: so Aaron's going to be working in all these new 464 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: receivers won't play much in the preseason. Minnesota meanwhile, has 465 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: a new head coach, and Green Bay is going to 466 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: kind of guess on what offense they're going to see. 467 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,479 Speaker 1: I think they have the element of surprise advantage. Also, 468 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: Cousins feeling Dalvin the tight ends. They've worked together, they 469 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: have a new system, they've worked together. Aaron's got a 470 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: he doesn't know if he has backtr or his tight 471 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: end both torn acls. He's working in rookie wide receivers. 472 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: My favorite bet of the year in Week one is 473 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: Minnesota I think plus three hundred. I think it's really 474 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,720 Speaker 1: worth your time. This is an interesting one. The NFC North, 475 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: to me is fascinating because I think the Vikings are 476 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: an interesting beat at plus three hundred for all the 477 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: things that you just said, the flip side, and the 478 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: reason why I'm not rushing to bet it is because 479 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: we can say these things about the Vikings every year. 480 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: The difference being Kevin O'Connell the new head coach, offensive minded, 481 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 1: Like you said, Kirk Cousins, what is he? Is he 482 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: the guy who can get you closer in games that 483 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: don't mean anything, or is he the guy that somehow 484 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: manages to lose games by a very close margin that 485 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: mean a lot. That's consistently what he's been. He is 486 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: not a quarterback who overperforms. He is not a quarterback 487 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: who has thirteen win seasons. He's essentially a five hundred 488 00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: quarterback in a variety of circumstances in many many nflcs. 489 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: He is what he's going to be. So you kind 490 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: of are banking on the fact that you think Kevin 491 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: O'Connell is going to be able to do things with 492 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins that nobody in Kirk Cousins career has been 493 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: able to do when they were his head coach. I 494 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: will say this, I love the Detroit Lions over six 495 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: and a half. I think they are a fascinating team. 496 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: I like the playmakers they have. Jared Goff gets a 497 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: bad rap. Jared Goff did take the Rams to the 498 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Jared Goff did have a transcendent, amazing performance 499 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 1: in one of the best games in NFL history, going 500 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: totete with Patrick Mahomes when he was on the Rams. 501 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: He's got a great running back, he's got weapons on 502 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: the edges, he's got a really good offensive line. And 503 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: I'm a huge Dan Campbell fan. He's the antithesis of 504 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: what you would expect someone like me would be a 505 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: fan of. I love the emotion, I love the passion. 506 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: I love that he is completely unself aware of what 507 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: the Lions are and he decided to go for it 508 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: and he's going to own everything that is bad about 509 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: the Lions and say we're going to be better Lions 510 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: over six and a half. The other thing, yeah, the 511 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: other thing. Don't give me that look. Don't give me 512 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: that look, because the other thing is their schedules. Tough, Okay, 513 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: time out. You have their schedule. Look their schedule up 514 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: right now, Milman. But right now, while I'm doing that, 515 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the other thing is that the Bears 516 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: under six and a half. I would be all in 517 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: on that. I don't even care about them. I'm so 518 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: hold on. Okay, So let's go to the Lions schedule 519 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: right now, le let's look at this Lion schedule. You 520 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: just say win or loss. Okay, Eagles at the Lions, 521 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: Eagles at the Lions Week one, Yeah, that's a win. 522 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. And you want to I just 523 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: want to stop them up. Hold on. You want to 524 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 1: talk about best bets. That's going to be your best 525 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: bet that one hundred percent Lions Week one against the 526 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 1: Eagles in Detroit. Give me the Lions as underdogs. I 527 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: take the Lions on the money line. Go that. That's 528 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 1: the best bet in Pontiac that's best bet? What what 529 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: do you mean? Best bet? Of? What? Meaning? What? Like? 530 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: If you're telling me right now in week one, I'm 531 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 1: getting hold on, I'm gonna tell you right now what 532 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 1: I'm getting Week one. I've got the Lions plus four 533 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: and a half at home against the Eagles. I'm taking 534 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: the Lions plus four and a half, and I will 535 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: probably sprinkle a little bit, a little bit on the 536 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: Lions to win outright, because if you're going to bet 537 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: a team like that in any point in the season, 538 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: it's Week one, Okay, Commanders at the Lions, you'd give 539 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: that a W. I imagine, yes, Lions at the Vikings loss, Yes, 540 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: Seahawks at the Lions. That's aye. That's three Lions at 541 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: the Lions at the Patriots, give it a loss. Lions 542 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: of the Cowboys, probably a loss. Dolphins at the Lions. 543 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say at that point in the season, I'll 544 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:14,240 Speaker 1: give it a W. Oh boy, Okay, Packers at the Lions. 545 00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,439 Speaker 1: That's always a tricky spot for the Packers. I'll say, 546 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: I'll say an L right now. But if I'm only 547 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: at six wins at the end of the year, I'm 548 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: moving that to a W. Lions at the Bears. You 549 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: think the Lions will beat Chicago and Chicago the Bears 550 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: if the Bears were if there was an alt line 551 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,239 Speaker 1: and the Bears under four and a half, I would 552 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: take it. Okay, Lions at the Giants, you're going to 553 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: give that a W. Yeah, I would give that a 554 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: w Bills at the Lions. Okay, so then the Jaguars 555 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 1: at the Lions December fourth, there's your seventh wins. So 556 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: there's your there there, and they also have to go 557 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,520 Speaker 1: to the Jets and the Panthers. Yeah, I mean, I 558 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,359 Speaker 1: you're just giving them every break. I ah, boy, why 559 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: can't I like even if, by the way, even if 560 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: they didn't get every break. So let's say that Let's 561 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: say that I thought against every team on the schedule 562 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: that you just mentioned that was five hundred or worse, 563 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 1: and I believe this team can be on a level 564 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 1: like that. I would give them the win against the Jets. 565 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: I would give them the win against the Panthers. So now, 566 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, at nine, let's say they don't 567 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 1: get the brakes. Let's say they don't get the brakes 568 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 1: on the road against the Bears. Let's say they don't 569 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: get the brakes on the road against the Giants. I'm 570 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,399 Speaker 1: still at seven wins, and I think they'll probably beat 571 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: the Packers at home. Well, jeez, you know a lot 572 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: of favorable you know. I think the longer you have 573 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: a mediocre coach, the more you realize he's a mediocre coach. 574 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: I think by like week eight to ten, we're all 575 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: going to be going like Dan Campbell's likable but bad. Yeah, 576 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,720 Speaker 1: but this team wins in week one, that carries over 577 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: for three weeks of goodwill and they will believe. And 578 00:35:55,239 --> 00:36:00,840 Speaker 1: look this team last year three thirteen and one, eleven 579 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: and six against the spread, the only team in the 580 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: modern era since nineteen ninety two have three or fewer 581 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 1: losses and that many wins against the spread. They battle, 582 00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 1: they bite your knee caps. Finally, NFC West, the wise 583 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: guys think it's Rams, Niners, Cardinals, Seahawks. I'd probably go Rams, Cardinals, Niners, Seahawks. 584 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,280 Speaker 1: So you bet one hundred you can win two hundred 585 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,359 Speaker 1: with the Niners. What's there over under? And where are 586 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: you at on them? With Trey Lance? I think they 587 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 1: feel like a nine win team. Yeah, I think it's 588 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: about nine. I think they're total. I got to look 589 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: at it right now. I think their season win total 590 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: is probably nine and a half. I go under, but 591 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: I'm looking it up right now. Hold on. That feels 592 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: like an under to me. And by the way, nine 593 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,240 Speaker 1: and eight may get into the playoffs in the NFC AFC, 594 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: it's not. But in the NFC, it might. I think. 595 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: Let's see, so they're at about ten games and I 596 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:13,719 Speaker 1: think I'm under so under his right, I'm not a 597 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 1: buyer on the Cardinals. To be honest, Cliff Kingsbury has 598 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:23,280 Speaker 1: just too often, too consistently in his career fallen apart 599 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: in the second half of the year, and I wish 600 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 1: I could say that it's not going to happen this year, 601 00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,800 Speaker 1: but it tends to always happen. Plus, they're going to 602 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 1: be without DeAndre Hopkins in the early part of the year. 603 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: You don't know how healthy they're going to be. Kyler Murray, 604 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: while he's amazing, wait till Call of Duty, the new 605 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: version of Call of Duty comes out, and all of 606 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: a sudden he's doing that instead of watching more film. 607 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden you see his stats drop. 608 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: So I'm not a buyer on the Cardinals. You know. 609 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,320 Speaker 1: Dante Whitner had a good point the forty nine er 610 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,719 Speaker 1: safety and the Bills safety. He was on my show. 611 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: He's a broadcaster now in the Bay. He had a 612 00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: really good point on Kyler Murray. He said, when you're 613 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 1: an instinctive player over a prep monster, you take more 614 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: hits over the course of a year, and he said, 615 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 1: he goes, I think Kyler gets worn down. I said, 616 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 1: he said, you know, Breeze was smaller, but Breeze audibles 617 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 1: out of that. Like like the guys that are prep 618 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: mons monsters and pre snap guys, they don't take as 619 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: many hits. But the guys that you know kind of 620 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: rely on instincts Brett Farve, Michael Vick, Big Ben. You 621 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 1: get to an end of a year, You've had a 622 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,840 Speaker 1: lot of extra shots. And he said, I think Kyler 623 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 1: is worn down by the end of these years. And 624 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: because I asked him about the prep and the amendment 625 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: or ident him in the contract, and Dante said, what 626 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,360 Speaker 1: it tells me is he should do more prep simply 627 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: because he'd take fewer hits. They're really got. There were 628 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 1: guys that really study. They just get out of bad plays. 629 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 1: It's not always audibling into a great play. It's audibling 630 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: out of a free safety blitz and getting the ball 631 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: out and not taking that seventh shot to your left shoulder. 632 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 1: Those things add those are car collisions every time you 633 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: get popped. And he's a small athlete to begin with, 634 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 1: so I don't think it's necessarily Cliff Kingsbury. I think 635 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: he's got a small quarterback who gets whacked, and I 636 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 1: think the offense is less dynamic as the season progresses. 637 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: I think it's both things. Because Cliff Kingsberry had Patrick 638 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,799 Speaker 1: Mahomes at Texas Tech, and he was still terrible when 639 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: it got to the second half of the year. Betters 640 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: know to fade Cliff Kingsberry the deeper into the season 641 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: it goes. Here's a question, yep. I'm not a big 642 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: fan of celebrities talking about taking psychedelic drugs because, like 643 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,959 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, somebody will listen to that and take them. Yeah, 644 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,720 Speaker 1: and that shit's dangerous. Have you ever taken a psychedelic drug? 645 00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 1: I asked Rick Buker he once took acid, proud of 646 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: his authenticity on that. I've never taken a psychedelic drug. 647 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: I never Well, I think they're dangerous. How about you, 648 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: I've never taken a psychedelic drug. I'm not a big 649 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: drug guy. I've never even been really tempted to take 650 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: anything harder than weed. And yeah, you know, when I 651 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: was in college, I had buddies who would do shrooms 652 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and I'm a pretty optimistic, happy, 653 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,439 Speaker 1: go lucky care free guy as it is. Yeah, And 654 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: they would tell me, they'd say, I don't think you 655 00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 1: should do it. I feel like you don't need to 656 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 1: go there, you know, and like you're already you're kind 657 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 1: of a already halfway there, and so m it And 658 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,759 Speaker 1: it never appealed to me. And it also just scares me. 659 00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:45,959 Speaker 1: Like the ideas of these things I don't want to be. 660 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: I don't like to be out of control or not 661 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: not in full capability of my faculties. Well, people have 662 00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 1: died of acid and LSD, so you know there's that. Yeah, 663 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: that too, you know. Afraid of things, Yeah, I'm not 664 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: afraid of a lot. I'll tell you I'm afraid. This 665 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:12,279 Speaker 1: segment's over. I'm not what am I afraid of? Um. 666 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: I don't love snakes, but I've come to terms with them. 667 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what I can't do. 668 00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 1: I can't do small dead rodents and birds. The other day, 669 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,799 Speaker 1: this has happened in my house a couple of times. 670 00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 1: Our dog goes outside, you know, kills a little tiny bunny, 671 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 1: so proud brings it in. It drops that thing in 672 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: the house, and I immediately go running for the hills 673 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: and I tell my kids, like, go deal with it, 674 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 1: like I cannot. I cannot manage this. It will like 675 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: I will scream. It will take me thirty five minutes 676 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: to have to find a shovel to get the thing. 677 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,800 Speaker 1: It happened last a couple of weeks ago before I 678 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 1: one a vacation. The dog brought in a bird. The 679 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: bird kind of lost its head on the way, like 680 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:07,840 Speaker 1: there was a bird piece on the carpet somewhere and 681 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 1: then somewhere else, and both of my kids they had 682 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,160 Speaker 1: to manage it. I could not. I could not do it. Yeah, 683 00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: I don't. Snakes move uncontrollably kind of freaks me out. Again, 684 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: you could die unpredictable. Again. I don't like. That's right, 685 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: I don't like unpredictable. Well that's what that's what happens 686 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:32,799 Speaker 1: when you do acid.
