1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Kabooms. If you thought four hours a day, minutes a

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants of

3
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He treats

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the rich

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: pill poppers in the penthouse to clearinghouse of hot takes,

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: Maller starts right now in the air everywhere and greeting salutations.

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: And you have arrived at the one stop shop that

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: is the Fifth Hour with Ben Mallor and Danny G.

10
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: Radio two guys. Is enough for me, and it is

11
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: time for a playoff playoffs edition of Benny Versus the Penny.

12
00:00:54,680 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: We strike up the band right now. Welcome players, You're welcome,

13
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: are you? It's time now Penny versus the Penny? All

14
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: right here, we are back at it. Danny G. Represent

15
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: even though the Raiders aren't in the playoffs, you have

16
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: a full Raider gear on. You are prepared. You're acting

17
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: as the Raiders are in the postseason. Danny G. You're prepared, sir.

18
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: And even though your Rams aren't in the postseason, you

19
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: are in full monstrel exposed gear. That's right. But I'm

20
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: honoring the Montreal exposed. As you know, that's an M.

21
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: It looks weird, but that's an M for Mallard. It

22
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: might look like Montreal, but it's actually an M for Mallard.

23
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: And this is the latest vision. This is old school.

24
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: This is the red, white and blue. You can't see

25
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: this if you're listening to the podcast because there's no photos.

26
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I like this. It's a slid looking at

27
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: h So before we get to the playoffs, Danny, we

28
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: must look back. We closed out the regular season. I

29
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: was very concerned last week when we did the podcast.

30
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: I had El Stinko in Week seventeen, a debacle, my

31
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: worst week of the season in Week seventeen and went

32
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: five and ten against the spread, and that was brutal.

33
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: The penny wasn't much better than me, but but beat

34
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: me that week, and back to back week's Week sixteen

35
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: and Week seventeen, the penny head to head beat me,

36
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: and so we we looked ahead to eight Week eighteen.

37
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: How did Week a teen turning and Danny turn out

38
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,119
Speaker 1: a lot of disagreement between myself and you representing the penny. Yeah,

39
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: I did the penny get you again? No, In fact,

40
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: what I did is I took out my benny blowtorch

41
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: and I burned up everything. There were sixteen games on

42
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: the card last weekend and went eleven and five, but

43
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 1: really eleven and four because I had the wrong side

44
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: in the Raider Chiefs game. I had Raiders in that game.

45
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: They did not come close to covering the spread and

46
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: that so ended up going to eleven and five. Overall,

47
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: that's a six eight eight winning percentage the penny. All

48
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: that disagreement, bringing up the caboo springing up the rear

49
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: of the train, the penny went three and thirteen. That

50
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: is tied for the worst mark the penny had back

51
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: in week three of the season when the penny went

52
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: three and thirteen as well. Yeah, you looked like Dak

53
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: Prescott against Washington in that game last week. Holy Canoli.

54
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: That was bad. So here the penny is in the pofs.

55
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: I know, it's amazing the play. You can't you can't

56
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: go away from the penny no matter what the penny

57
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: makes it. So overall, as we put the bowl on

58
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: the regular season, it's a brand new season. We're gonna

59
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: start fresh in the playoffs. Playoffs, so we start fresh

60
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: but we look back at the final regular of season numbers.

61
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: Been doing Benny versus the Penny for a long time.

62
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: I'll date myself if I say how long. But this

63
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: was a fairy tale type of season, a Disney esque

64
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: happy ending type season. Not a lot of walking on eggshells.

65
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: So all the games we bet on terrestrial radio on

66
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: Thursday and on the podcast on Friday. And here's how

67
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: it turned out. Hundred and fifty six wins, hundred and

68
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: nine losses, and six ties against the spread. That works

69
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: out to a five eight nine winning percentage. And that

70
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: is the top winning percentage I believe I've had ever

71
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: at doing this and the penny, don't ask, don't ask.

72
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: The penny won a hundred twenty four games, lost, a

73
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: hundred and forty three tied four. That's a four sixty

74
00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 1: three winning percentage. The penny was nineteen games under five hundred.

75
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: And if you're not a gambler and not someone that's

76
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: up on the numbers, the way this works, there's a

77
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: lot of peaks and valleys when you're gambling, but you

78
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: have to end up on a a winning percentage of

79
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: fifty two point four in order to win money. As

80
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: a sports better what whatever you bet how many games.

81
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: The less you bet, the better your chances. But you

82
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: have to win more than fifty two point four percent

83
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: of your bets to make up the difference because of

84
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: the juice. So we we did that. Now we told

85
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: you not to bet on every game. Hopefully you picked

86
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: and choose the right games. But we had a lot

87
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: of double digit win weeks this year, and head to head,

88
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: the Penny did not beat me very off. We tied

89
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: in week one. Week two went to the Penny, but

90
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: after that we rolled off a bunch of wins in

91
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: a row. It was three weeks in a row. We one.

92
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: I can give you the final totals at another time,

93
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: but we move on, Danny. It's the playoffs and really

94
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: quick though, just to clarify, because your microphone broke up

95
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: a little bit, you said juice. Yeah, well the what

96
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: the juice? You have to win a certain amount because

97
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: of the vig on the games, and so, uh, it's

98
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: fifty two point four percent because if you break even,

99
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: the house is going to to win, right. Yeah. And

100
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: for those that are uneducated on that, if you're just

101
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: kind of casually listening, you're like, hey, I just want

102
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: to listen to something. But I'm not really a gambler

103
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Um, So, the theory is that

104
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: the house should not care. They don't really care who

105
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: wins the game as long as the money's even on

106
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: both sides, because in a perfect world, they would not

107
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: care about the outcome because they don't really worry about

108
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: the results as long as they the big they earn

109
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: their profits on that, and the big it's it's short

110
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: for vigor ish or juice. It's the edge of the

111
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: house as the most of the time is less than

112
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: five percent. Uh, and so it's not it's not that much,

113
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: but the margins are then and all that, and so

114
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: they just want to get even money on most of

115
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: the games. But as long as you are able to win,

116
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: as we said, over fifty two point four percent, you

117
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: will compensate for the house and their advantage in that.

118
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: All right, So that let's get to the games at hand.

119
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: It's wild card weekend. They're calling it super wild Card weekend.

120
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: It does not seem super to me. I don't know

121
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: about you, Danny, it does not seem super to me.

122
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of bad quarterbacks that we're gonna be

123
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: saying this weekend. But we'll start out and and the

124
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: Heads versus Tales. Danny representing the Penny. Home team is Heads,

125
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: road team is Tales. That's how we've done it all

126
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: season law, all season long, and we've done that way

127
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: for years without that way for years, so we can

128
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: continue doing that and away we go. So we've got Seattle,

129
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: who went nine and eight during the regular season at

130
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: San Francisco thirteen and four. It's on Fox. This is

131
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: the game that kicks off the weekend with Joe Davis

132
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: and Darryl Moose. Johnston forty Niners opened up a ten

133
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: point favorite, and they're favored by anywhere from nine and

134
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: a half of ten. We have the number at ten

135
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: and the handle on this game about of the action

136
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: in favor of the home team, the forty Niners at

137
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. Heavy rain expected in this game,

138
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: temperatures in the fifties as the West Coast continues to

139
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: get battered. I'm sure we'll talk more about the weather

140
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: on the Saturday podcast, as we both experienced some rather

141
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: interesting conditions this past week here with these bombs cyclones

142
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: and the atmospheric river and all that crap, but it's

143
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: gonna be bad at least that's the forecast we have

144
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: here for the fort and the Seahawks. Some of the trends,

145
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: some of the numbers in this game. Kyle Shanahan five

146
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: and one against the spread in playoff games forty nine

147
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: ers seven and one against the spread at home as

148
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: a favorite this season, five straight covers. If you go

149
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: back to past thirty seasons, wild card home favorites of

150
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: at least nine points or better are eleven and oh

151
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 1: against the spread. But on the other side, you look

152
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: at Seattle here, they've done very well head to head

153
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: with the forty nine games above five against the spread

154
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: the last matchups. That goes way back to the glory

155
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: days of Seattle. The key thing here though, for me,

156
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 1: when I'm looking at this game, I'm looking at Brock Purty,

157
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: who's played very well, But do you trust him? And

158
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Seattle Seahawks here because I do

159
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: not completely have faith that Brock Prity is gonna play

160
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: a clean game and locked down a massive point spread here.

161
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: I'll give you a couple of reasons why. A the

162
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: stigma of being a rookie. If you look at the comps,

163
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: they're not very good. The only rookie quarterback to be

164
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: at least a seven point favorite in the playoffs since

165
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: two thousand is Ben Roethlisberger, and that was almost twenty

166
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: years ago in twenty four, which is shocking that it

167
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: was almost twenty years ago, but it was, and so

168
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: this is a rare situation. The forecast, as we mentioned,

169
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: calls for the atmospheric river to rain down in the

170
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Bay and that should lead to mistakes, and mistakes generally

171
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: lead two point spreads being covered. Now, I'm not a

172
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: big believer in the Seahawks. They've fallen on hard times

173
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: and Geno Smith has had a lot of turnovers lately,

174
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: but the double digit line and the possibility of a

175
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: back door cover that garbage time late dry by Gino

176
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: Smith where the forty Niners played prevent defense and Gino

177
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,839
Speaker 1: brings it down the field gets that late touchdown. I'm

178
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: also on the side against the public and on the

179
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: side of the wise guys, the sharps, who generally do

180
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: the heavy lifting. So this is too many points. Forty Niners,

181
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: twenty four Seahawks. Ring the bell at seventeen, and right

182
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: off the bat, the penny disagreeing with you going with

183
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: the Niners for a blowout? All right, next game up

184
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: on the Saturday wild Card schedule. These games being played

185
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: in a vacuum on Saturday. Just two games on Saturday.

186
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: The l A Chargers ten and seven this year at

187
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Jacksonville nine and eight on and be see with Al

188
00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: Michaels and Tony Dungee. The Chargers end up a two

189
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite, and they are favored by

190
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: two in this game, almost six. I think that Jacksonville

191
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: is gonna burn through the electrical grid. The Chargers bring

192
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: a t I a a bank field. Very cold temperatures,

193
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: this game being played at night, temperatures in the forties

194
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: for Jacksonville. It's a little chili, little chili there. Some

195
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: of the numbers on this game, some of the key

196
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: points here. Chargers. They were a six and a half

197
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: point home favorite when these teams played back in Week three.

198
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: Jacksonville won that game thirty eight to ten. Before that game,

199
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: l A had covered their last nine meetings with Jacksonville.

200
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence last seven games two and five against the spread.

201
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson back in the playoffs after his run to

202
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: glory in Philadelphia, the Nick Foles playoff run years in

203
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: five and one in his coaching career against the spread

204
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, five and oh against the spread as

205
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: an underdog, and Jacksonville as an underdog seven and five

206
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: outright one more win. If they win this game, they

207
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: would match the record for the most wins in a

208
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: single season regular and postseason as an underdog. And there's

209
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: some teams you gotta go back. Washington did it before.

210
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: That was that out of nowhere Patriot team in when

211
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady came on the scene. Then you gotta go

212
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: back to a Joe Montana forty niner team in the

213
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: early eighties and the New York Giants also in the

214
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: early nineteen eighties. So those are some of the numbers

215
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: on this And in the past five seasons there have

216
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: been too home underdogs in playoff games. Both of them

217
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: happened in that pandemic year when old fans were at

218
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: the stadiums in since home underdogs six and two against

219
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: the spread. But that will go the other way here.

220
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Chargers in this game. The secret

221
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: ingredient in this one is the defense linebacker Joey Bosa.

222
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: He did not play back in Week three, Jacksonville was

223
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: able to run for a hundred and fifty one yards.

224
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: In that game. They had James Robinson, who they later

225
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: traded to the Jets of Travy Travis E. T N

226
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: who's the featured back now. But the thirty eight points misleading.

227
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: You put Bosa and Khalil Mack who still got a

228
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: little gas in the tank together, that's a peanut, butter

229
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: and jelly situation for the Charger defense. Here. Now my

230
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: evidence on this. With Bosa on the field, the Chargers

231
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: are allowing when he plays the entire game and he's healthy,

232
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: they're allowing less than eighteen points per game, seventeen point seven.

233
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: When he's been hurt, missed the game, or been hobbled,

234
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: they're giving up twenty three and a half points per game.

235
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: That means the Charger defense is almost a touchdown worse

236
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: when Boss hurt as opposed to when he plays the matchup.

237
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: I give a slight edge to Herbert, but we don't

238
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: really know neither one of these guys, Trevor Lawrence or

239
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's played in the playoffs. One of them will

240
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: likely take a ride on the vomit comment. But I'm

241
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: gonna take the Chargers in this game. Low scoring, close

242
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: game charges a slight favorite, Chargers twenty four behind Austin

243
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: Ekeler and the Jags twenty. The final look at that

244
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: heads again means another disagreement, the Penny going with the Jags.

245
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: All right, We'll see how this turns out for the Penny.

246
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: Next up, wild Card Weekend on Sunday, as we try

247
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: to sync up on this Miami nine and NAT during

248
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: the regular season. Off to the Races with their third

249
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: string quarterback at Buffalo third, teen and three. It's on CBS.

250
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: This is the big game for Jim Nance. The high

251
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: falutin Tony Romo will be there as well. The Bills

252
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: opened up an eleven point favorite that has skyrocketed up

253
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: the thirteen points, a team point favorite in a playoff game,

254
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: and just about everyone betting on Buffalo in this game

255
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: they think it's free money. In the weather, no snow.

256
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: If you're you're hoping for snow here, you're not gonna

257
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: get that. At high Mark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York,

258
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: temperatures in the high twenties low thirties at kickoff in

259
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: this game, and some of the numbers here Buffalo. They

260
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: were a four point road favorite back in Week three

261
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: when they played at Miami, and a seven and a

262
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: half point hope favorite in Week fifteen, and this time

263
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: there were a thirteen point five, so they've they've almost

264
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: gone double that. Miami owen four against the spread their

265
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: last four playoff games, going back many many years, different coaches,

266
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks, and the Dolphins have done very well against

267
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: divisional appochs. They are too and oh against the spread

268
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: against Buffalo, But I say that ends here. I am

269
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: taking the Bills Mafia to drop a horsehead in this game,

270
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: and I generally avoid heavy favorites, but turns out the

271
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: sky is the limit for the Dolphins here with both

272
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 1: to a tongue of Bloa and Teddy Bridgewater out Miami,

273
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: turning their lonely hearts to sky. Lure Thompson, see what

274
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: I did there, Danny. The sky is the is the limit.

275
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: But this is a demolition situation. A rookie seventh round

276
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: pick who was wicked bad, wicked bad in the regular season,

277
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: and that's out of hill. I want to die, and

278
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: I always try to find a way to take the underdog,

279
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: and I looked at this and I looked at this

280
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: and I'm like, wa, wait a minute, Skyler Thompson is

281
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: being tossed out where the Buffalo roame. What could possibly

282
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: go wrong? It is going to take a defensive game

283
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: of the ages for the Dolphins and Josh Allen to

284
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: have food poisoning with multiple turnovers for this game to

285
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: be close. And you just have the sense Buffalo is

286
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna come out jump out by a couple of touchdowns.

287
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: Miami then will be a one dimensional team. And this

288
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: thing just starts piling on top of It's like a

289
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: dog pile as far as points are concerned, and the

290
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills end up eating dolphin flavored sushi. Final score

291
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: Bills thirty four Dolphins ten the final and the penny says, someway, somehow,

292
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: that Dolphins defense is gonna loom large going with the

293
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins to cover that defense is gonna have to score

294
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns in order for this to be a cover.

295
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: That's how bad Skyler Thompson is. Terrible. Third down quarterback

296
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: man alive? All right? Next up the New York Giants

297
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: nine seven and one at minnis So thirteen and four.

298
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: It's on Fox with Kevin Burkhard and Greg Olsen. The

299
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: Vikings opened up a three point favorite. They have stayed

300
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: a three point favorite. As we give you the blow

301
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: by blow account of what should happen in this game

302
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: on Sunday with our friends in the Twin Cities locked

303
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: and loaded at US Bank Stadium. Now, we've talked a

304
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: lot on the radio show on the overnight and we've

305
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: we've mentioned that we're not big fans of the Vikings

306
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: or the Giants, so this is a tough game for

307
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: us to handicap. Most of the money A slight lean

308
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: is on the Giant, not most a slight lying on

309
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: the Giants. Some of the numbers on this game. Minnesota

310
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: was a four and a half point favorite at home

311
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: back in Week sixteen. The Vikings won that game by

312
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: a field goal. The Giants led the NFL this year

313
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: for gamblers thirteen and four against the spread. If you

314
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: just bet every Giants game against the number, blindly just

315
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: picked the Giants, you went thirteen and four, seven and

316
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: one on the road against the spread. New York's covered

317
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: four straight games and four straight road games. So those

318
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: are all positive numbers, and the numbers are not great

319
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: for the Vikings at all. I can give you all

320
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: kinds of negative numbers will move on. I'm i am

321
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: gonna take the Vikings in this game, though, I'm gonna

322
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: take Minnesota. Uh, and maybe all look like a blithering

323
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: idiot by the time this is all done. But something

324
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: is gonna give your Both these teams were outscored during

325
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: the regular season. It's only the third matchup in playoff

326
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: history outside of a strike gear where you've had two

327
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: teams that both were outscored meeting in the playoffs, and

328
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: one of those was back in the eighties, the other

329
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: was about twenty years ago. In the NFL, You've got

330
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, who stinks, versus Kirk Cousins, who also has

331
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: b O or halitosis. I should say so it's a

332
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: lounge act situation at quarterback. I am leaning towards the

333
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: Vikings in this game. I just think that these stage

334
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: fright is gonna be there for Daniel Jones. There'll be

335
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: some mistakes. Really. The thing that does give me pause.

336
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: Minnesota's defense is ranked thirty one in yards per game.

337
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: They're allowing twenty five points per game, and they just

338
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago allowed the Giants to go

339
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: up and down and all around and it was not good,

340
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: and so that does scare me a little bit. However,

341
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: I want to take Minnesota twenty six and the Giants

342
00:21:53,200 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: twenty the final. And I'm not sure if this is unprecedented, Ben,

343
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: but you see here Tales that means the Penny is

344
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: going against you again picking the Giants. All right, we

345
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: disagree again. So far, it's been a royal disagreement, a

346
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: royal disagreement on this edition of Benny Versus the Penny.

347
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: A right. Next up, the last game on wild Card Sunday,

348
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 1: but not the last game on wild Card weekend, as

349
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: we dust off our crystal ball to take a look

350
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: at Baltimore ten and seven at Cincinnati twelve and four.

351
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: The Bengals this game on and be you see, it's

352
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: a home game for Chris Colinsworth, Mike Terrico traveling from

353
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: his home in Michigan for this particular game. Bengals opened

354
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: up a six and a half point favorite, and they

355
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: are favored by seven, so a full touchdown favorite for

356
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: the Ben Gals. Most people think this is free money,

357
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: it's a broken a t M machine, as they're loading

358
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: up on the Bengals in this game. Mostly clear in

359
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: the House that justin in Cincinnati and just Josh Build

360
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: mostly clear forty one degrees that kick off at the

361
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: former Paul Brown Stadium now Baltimore one. The matchup back

362
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: in Week five, nineteen seventeen, they were three point favorites,

363
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: so they didn't cover the spread. Cincinnati won the last

364
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: game seven to sixteen, but they were eleven and alf

365
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: point favorites, so they failed to cover the spread. Both times.

366
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: The road dog covered despite losing outright. For whatever that's worth,

367
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: Cincinnati those covered five straight playoff games, including that four

368
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: and no run last season, so that was all last year.

369
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: And then there was obviously a different Paul of Wax

370
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: with Marvin Lewis back in the day. But Baltimore nine

371
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: and eight outright as a playoff underdog, they are, fun fact,

372
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 1: one of two teams in the Super Bowl era that

373
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: have a winning record over five as a playoff underdog.

374
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: It's Baltimore and the New York Giants. Those are the

375
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: two that have a winning record. So handicapping this game

376
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: originally was going to be a lot harder. It became

377
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: a lot easier. And I want to take the Cincinnati

378
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: ben Gals. It's killing season. And then I believe raven

379
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: is on the menu for the Bengals here. Lamar Jackson's

380
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: not walking through that door, and I ain't gonna wager

381
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: on Baltimore. I've seen the backups that got flotsam and jetsam,

382
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley and Anthony Brown. It sounds like Anthony Brown

383
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: is gonna be the guy playing here. Baltimore will be

384
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: bringing a musket to the proverbial gunfight. Outside of injury

385
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 1: the Joe Burrow, this game will be a blue out

386
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: last week since he scored twenty one points directly off

387
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: turnovers from Anthony Brown, two interceptions and a fumble which

388
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: was returned for a touchdown. And these things end up

389
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: snowballing in the playoffs. As much as I wanted to

390
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: find a way to take the Ravens, because I do

391
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: like John Harbaugh, usually in these situations, I cannot lean

392
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: out on that branch. It's a it's a flimsy branch

393
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 1: with Anthony Brown. The Ravens are gonna go down, down, down, down, down,

394
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: down down. Cincinnati gets the easy win seven to sixteen

395
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: as they take down the third string quarterback and Baltimore,

396
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: that's gonna be your final seven sixteen and finally we

397
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: have an agreement as the Pennies, also riding with sinc Alright,

398
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: last game, last game to bet on here the beacon

399
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: of ratings, not the beacon of light, the beacon of

400
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: rating ings. It is wild card Monday. They started this

401
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: not that long ago, an island game all buy. It's lonesome,

402
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: bringing up the rear of the playoff schedule. It will

403
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: be the highest rated game. Gay wrongteed this weekend Dallas

404
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: twelve and five, and they travel to Tampa Bay eight

405
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: and nine. It's on a B C with Joe Buck

406
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: and Troy Aikman, and the Cowboys opened up a three

407
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: point favorite. They are favored by two and a half

408
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: in this game. Most people loading up on the Buccaneers,

409
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: even though their season looked like they were on the

410
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: brink of disaster and temperatures mild at Raymond James Stadium

411
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: on Monday night, temperatures forecast to be in the sixties,

412
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: clear skies at kickoff. Dallas has been a dreadful bet

413
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: here in January. They are two and thirteen against the

414
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: spread their la last fifteen games, and then the Tampa

415
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: Bay to twelve and one, though against the spread their

416
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: last uh their last fifteen games this season, with Tom

417
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: Brady one six and one at Raymond James Stadium in

418
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: their last eight matchups. There, I can give you all

419
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: kinds of numbers. Dallas has been terrible in the playoffs

420
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: since The Cowboys, even with those Super Bowl wins, are

421
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: back in the nineties, are three and ten against the spread.

422
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: Owen four since for Gamblers. But I am going to

423
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: cover my eyes, I'm gonna cover my mouth and hold

424
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 1: my nose, and I'm gonna take the Dallas Cowboys. They

425
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: have not been a road favorite in the playoffs since

426
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: nine six at Carolina. And as much as I don't

427
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: have a lot of love for the Cowboys, I have

428
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: less love for Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. And people

429
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: are wrapped up in this romance with Tom Brady, this, that,

430
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: and the other thing. These are two teams that are

431
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,239
Speaker 1: doing the downward dog. Cowboys were two and two their

432
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: last four games. Buccaneers have not won a game by

433
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: more than six points since Week two. Their offense their

434
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: offenses past twenty three points only twice all season. But

435
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: yet every time I bring up these numbers, says yeah,

436
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: but yeah, but you have it, you have it. Tom Brady.

437
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: You have it, Tom Brady, He's got the magic wand

438
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,919
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, I don't know about that. Danny didn't he

439
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: lose forty five million dollars on ft X. I think

440
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: I read that this week that in stock options he

441
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: lost forty five million, with ft actually talking about having

442
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: a bad, bad couple of weeks. Uh, So, listen, Brady

443
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: has had a wonderful career. He did also lose to

444
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford last year at Raymond James Stadium. You experts

445
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 1: told me he's got the magic touch. There's no way

446
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's gonna be Tom Brady in a play off game.

447
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: And then, as I remember, tom Brady went out there

448
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: and sucked for se of that game and then made

449
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: a few players in the fourth quarter as the Bucks

450
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: frantically tried to come back. That has been the m

451
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: O on Tom Brady. He's been good for a quarter

452
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 1: or a half, usually it's the third quarter of the

453
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and he's been bad at the beginning of

454
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: these games, uh for the most part. And I in

455
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: no way am endorsing Dak Prescott because he's he's he's

456
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: a wobbly and as inconsistent as Tom Brady, and certainly

457
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: in big games he's been terrible. But I am betting

458
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: on Michael Parsons to get a key strip sack and

459
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: Travon Diggs to get an interception here as he gambles.

460
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm betting on the Cowboy defense, which has been shaky,

461
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: to step up here and polish the apple and polished

462
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: the trophy and and get a win. So I'm gonna

463

483
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: for that. And if you would like to recommend someone

484
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:13,479
Speaker 1: that you think, you gotta be realistic. We did this

485
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: before Danny when West of the four oh five was

486
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,320

487
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,960

488
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: don't be the asshole if it's somebody that you think

489
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: is in our realm. We I tried, Oh god, what's

00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: the guy's name. I'm having a mental block. Uh, the

491
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: guy that did dirty jobs? Mike row Yeah. I tried

492
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: to get Mike Rowan and his publicist was all gung

493
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: ho and then totally flamed out and bailed and ghosted me. Uh.

494
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: Micro's publicist ghost to me. I would have loved to

495
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: get him on. There's a few other people, although the

496
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: last year we did go on a bit of a

497
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,959
Speaker 1: run um. We had a couple of Hall of famers.

Speaker 1: Brent Musburger, that was a big one. You got on there, baby.

501
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: It was so nice to her uncle Brent. It was great.

502
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: He was hanging out at his ranch in Montana and

503
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: telling stories. And I love the story that Musburger told

504
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: about the gambling when he said you're looking live that

505
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: was a secret dog whistle for the professional gamblers. That

506
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: is outstanding. That is just wonderful in so many different ways. Anyway,
