Sharper Square, co 21 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 2: host of the favorites Chad Milman, all odds provided by DraftKings. 22 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 2: So I had a rant today on my very popular 23 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,639 Speaker 2: syndicated radio show Milman. 24 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: Now, no I'm familiar. I've heard it's big. 25 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 2: People are talking. So my take is what you don't 26 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 2: want to become is the NBA a very strong top, 27 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 2: a soft middle, and ten teams to eleven teams at 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 2: the bottom that are unwatchable and non competitive, mostly the 29 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: Eastern Conference. Now, and I said, as the NFL has 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: become more quarterback centric based on a CTE lawsuit and 31 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: changes of rules pivoting to the offense, that we are 32 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 2: getting to be a little nbaish in the NFL. A 33 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 2: very strong top of five or six teams, a pretty 34 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: soft middle of like the Seahawks, Rams, and nine teams 35 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: with two or three wins. Several appear to be soft tanking. 36 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: And so I have never been prone to big favorites. 37 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 2: But Detroit last week at minus fourteen felt like one 38 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: of the smarter bets. So the Commander's minus ten and 39 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: a half. So I locked it in at ten this 40 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: week on the Herd. But I think one team's soft 41 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 2: tanking and one team is fighting for a playoff spot. 42 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 2: One team is now on a backup and not a 43 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: great backup. The other team has one of the better 44 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: rookie quarterbacks in a long time. That team's at home 45 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 2: playing for something. I know it's not sharp sharper square, 46 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 2: but I like the commanders here. 47 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's not sharp. The way you said it, 48 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 3: it's like you're waiting for me to tell you. Yeah, 49 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 3: you know what, Colin. The Wise guys are with you. 50 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 3: This is the week where they've decided they love massive 51 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 3: divisional favorites. 52 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you they don't. The Wise Guys 53 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: like the Cowboys. 54 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 3: And part of this is, yes, the number is so big, 55 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 3: but there's also some regression from Jaden Daniels. Right, he 56 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 3: was not very good against the Eagles last week on 57 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:19,639 Speaker 3: Thursday Night. 58 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: In fact, like. 59 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 3: Since that opening four game stretch where he was completing 60 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 3: eighty percent of his passes, he has yet to complete 61 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 3: more than seventy percent of his passes in a game. 62 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 1: And so you have to ask yourself, as. 63 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 3: He started to come back down to earth, has teams 64 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: started to figure him out. 65 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: That's really the key to this game. 66 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 3: And look, you can look at what the Cowboys did 67 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 3: last week and say, okay, were they competitive in the 68 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: first half? Yes, did Cooper Rush show some flashes of 69 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: being able to be a competitive, too competent quarterback in 70 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 3: the NFL. Certainly more than a lot of other backups 71 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: in the league, and frankly a lot of the starters 72 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 3: that we see in the league. But the wise guys 73 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 3: are going to be on the Cowboys here because this 74 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 3: number in a division game is just too big for 75 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 3: a rookie quarterback who's who's steadily declined as the season 76 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 3: has gone on. 77 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: And by the way, the Rookie of. 78 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 3: The Year ares odds are a great way to look 79 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 3: at that, right, how much is bo Nicks crept up 80 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: in behind Jayden Daniels in the Rookie of the Year conversation? 81 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: So the market is starting to recognize some of that. 82 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: So I like the Bears plus three and a half 83 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: hosting the Vikings. Lost in the blocked kick was that 84 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: they thoroughly dominated Green Bay, a well coached team that 85 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: they schemed up, layups, easy completions. Chicago looked good, they 86 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: just didn't finish well. Minnesota. You always talk about the 87 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: luck ratings. You know, I love Sam Darnold, but boy, 88 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: they leave a lot of points on the on the floor. God. 89 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: I mean that Jacksonville game was maybe that could have 90 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: been forty to ten. I like Chicago. I think they 91 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: have limitations, but I watched them against Green Bay and 92 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: I like their personnel. Caleb played with confidence. The OC 93 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 2: change mattered sharper square. 94 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 3: So it's sharp ish. Don't forget this line opened at five. 95 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 3: So the wise guys bet at five, they bet at 96 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 3: four and a half, they better at four. They're still 97 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: betting it a little bit at three at three and 98 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 3: a half. If it gets any further than this, if 99 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 3: I'm saying to you, you want to publicly announce you 100 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 3: are locking in the Bears at three and a half, 101 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 3: you don't want to say you're on the Bears at three. 102 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 3: You're not wrong about Sam Donald and how lucky he's 103 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 3: been in that game against Tennessee last week. They covered 104 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 3: the spread, but not because of anything Sam Donald did. 105 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 3: He had two hundred and forty six yards passing forty 106 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: percent of his yards in the air, came on three passes, right, 107 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: So he is not having a very good sort of 108 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 3: second half of the season. He's been very lucky. The 109 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 3: problem for me, and this is where I'm like, I 110 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 3: challenge the wise guy perception on this is they like 111 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 3: the Bears largely because they think that Caleb did. 112 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: What you just said. He looked better. 113 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 3: He was getting rid of the ball in less than 114 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 3: two and a half seconds. It's the first time he's 115 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 3: been doing that, right, Can they really block against a 116 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings defense that is so much more complex than 117 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 3: the Packers Brian Flores destroys rookie quarterbacks and Caleb Williams 118 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 3: this season, when he is facing a team that has 119 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 3: a sack percentage, which is basically the number of defensive 120 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 3: players that end in a sack, When he's facing a 121 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 3: team that is a sack percentage of more than two 122 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: point two percent, he's one and six. So you're looking 123 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 3: at a guy who was facing a team that is 124 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 3: a sack percentage of five and a half percent. A 125 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: lot of times, it's not even because they're bringing pressure, 126 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 3: they're dropping a lot of guys into covers. They just 127 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: confuse the heck out of offensive lines and young quarterbacks. 128 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 3: So to me, that's really the matchup you have to 129 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 3: be careful of. It's why I'm staying away from this game. 130 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 3: I just don't think there's any value in this number. 131 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: Too much bad quarterback play, too much good defensive play. 132 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 2: Cardinals plus one. Now at the Seahawks, I've said this 133 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: for the last year. I'm not sure what Seattle is. 134 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 2: I think they're well coached, I'm not sure of it. 135 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: Sometimes they're smartly quarterbacks, sometimes they're not. I think they'll 136 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 2: move dk Metcalf at some point in the near future. 137 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: He always seems unhappy. I know exactly what Arizona is great. 138 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: Coseel said it on my show this week. They don't 139 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 2: outside of Buddha Baker have great defensive personnel. They are 140 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: really smartly schemed, and I think this is an offense 141 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 2: that is young in spots that is growing in confidence. 142 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 2: I like teams that have an identity. As the season 143 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 2: goes on, it takes team's time. Even the Patriots at 144 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: Julian Edelman has said it took all of our team's 145 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: time to find the identity. By week twelve, some teams 146 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 2: still don't have it. Seattle doesn't. Arizona does sharper square. 147 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 3: So it's sharp, but it's been bouncing around. And I 148 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 3: agree with you about the identity. The Cardinals know exactly 149 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 3: who they are right they are even on defense, they 150 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 3: are still a physical football team. James Connor is a 151 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: really violent runner, and they know if they are able 152 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 3: to get him the ball and be effective in the 153 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 3: running game, that makes Kyler that much more effective in 154 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 3: the passing game. 155 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: And they're just going to be the better team. 156 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: Because of those two players, especially against a team like 157 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 3: the Seahawks, which just last week before the game against 158 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 3: the Niners, they released their leading tackler. Like that tells 159 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 3: you how much they don't know who they are. Is like, 160 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 3: they're making pretty big personnel moves coming out of a 161 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 3: buy in advance of a huge division game. And I 162 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 3: would not take yet anything from the Seahawks win against 163 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: the Niners. It's another weird sort of circumstance for the 164 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 3: Niners with Nick Bosa going out. I think that impacted 165 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: the game tremendously. So Whise guys are with you. The 166 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 3: Cardinals inside, they're you know, pun intended. They're putting the 167 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 3: cards on the table here right because they can take 168 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 3: significant control of that division coming off of by with 169 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 3: a lot of hype on this team right now, so 170 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 3: it's a big step up game for them. 171 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: I like green Bay at home minus one and a half. Now, 172 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 2: if Bosa doesn't play, this defense is very good. It's 173 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 2: just not. I don't know if it's smartly schemed, it's okay. 174 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: Fred Warner's numbers are down. Bosa is really the lynchpin 175 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 2: of the defense, and when he's out and he's banged 176 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 2: up consistently, it's not very good. And I say this 177 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: about San Francisco. You are what your record is. They're 178 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 2: a five and five football team, and they're not very 179 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 2: good on special teams. They don't get the consistent pass rush. 180 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 2: Rock Purty is fine, he's not the issue. They miss 181 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 2: a deep threat. Now, well, Christian McCaffrey is still not 182 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: at one hundred percent on the road. Green Bay the 183 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: best kind of team to bet. They won and played poorly. 184 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 2: You can coach them hard. Green Bay's home minus one 185 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 2: and a half. Sharper square, totally square. The wise guys 186 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 2: are all over the Niners here. The number was a 187 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 2: two and a half. 188 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 3: They were kind of waiting on the Brock Party news 189 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 3: because it leaked out that he had a sore shoulder 190 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 3: and was going to be day to day. He practiced 191 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 3: yesterday and looked fine. So it's really not about Nick Bosa. 192 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 3: Here was about brock Purty and the wise guys. Look 193 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 3: at the Niners. You just mentioned luck. There's no bigger 194 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 3: difference this week in sort of our luck rankings than 195 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 3: the Packers, who are at the top of the luck 196 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 3: rankings with how lucky they've gotten this year in games. 197 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 3: They've won a lot of turnover luck, a lot of 198 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 3: blocked kick luck wrapped up in one specific play last week. 199 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 3: The Niners have had terrible life, terrible turnovers at the 200 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 3: wrong time, terrible injuries at the wrong time in multiple games. Right, 201 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 3: So you're looking at two teams that are really diametrically 202 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 3: opposite in terms of how things have played out for them, 203 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 3: and you ask a lot of wise guys and they'll 204 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 3: say they have this game even on the road at 205 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 3: Green Bay Power Raider to pick. So you're getting a 206 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 3: point and a half of value right now on the Niners. 207 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 3: So that's why the wise guys like them. 208 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: Rams didn't look great and they have no home field advantage. 209 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: I like Philly minus two and a half, it'll be 210 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: a sixty to seventy percent Philadelphia crowd. The Rams defense 211 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 2: is very interesting but incredibly young, and they're kind of 212 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:45,559 Speaker 2: pedestrian on offense with a quarterback that doesn't move particularly well. 213 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 2: I think rosters it's a mismatch. It'll be actually a 214 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: semi home field advantage for Philadelphia. They're hummon. I don't 215 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: have to love Nick Siriani. They are hummon. Saquon Barkley 216 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: is playing the best football he's ever played in his life. 217 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 2: They're pretty healthy. Eagles minus two and a half. Kind 218 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 2: of surprised at the line. I thought it would be 219 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 2: bigger Sharper square. 220 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 3: Well, it's not bigger because it keeps bouncing around. There's 221 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 3: no consensus here. We talked about this on the Favorites today, 222 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 3: that there's no real wise guy side. They've come in 223 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 3: on the Rams when it's at three, They've come in 224 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 3: on the Eagles when it's at two and a half, 225 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 3: and that's basically how it's going to go. I'm with you. 226 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 3: I love the Eagles here. I've been on the Rams 227 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 3: the past two weeks. I felt like they were in 228 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 3: good spots against the Dolphins, lost it, in good spots 229 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 3: against the Pats, won it. The offensive line is not 230 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 3: playing well and they're not protecting Matthew Stafford but or 231 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 3: not very well, and the key to this team, and 232 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 3: you and I have talked about this. Sean McVay, for 233 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 3: all of his motion and sort of gadgetry, he likes 234 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: to run the ball and that's the strength of this team. 235 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 3: I don't see the Rams being able to run the 236 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 3: ball against the interior defense of the Eagles, who, by 237 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 3: the way, Vic Fangio brilliant defensive coordinator. Since Week five, 238 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 3: the Eagles have gone from twenty seventh in EPA, which 239 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: is basically a fancy way of saying how many points 240 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 3: they're expected to give up on defense on a particular play, 241 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 3: to first, like this defense has finally figured out what 242 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 3: he was trying to teach them and they're locked in 243 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 3: In the back of the secondary. Cooper Degene is one 244 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 3: of the top rated cover cornerbacks according to Pro Football Focus. 245 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 3: That should have an impact on what can happen with Cooper, 246 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 3: Cupp and pukuin Nukua. 247 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: So I'm with you. I like the Eagles here. I 248 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: think it's a good spot for them. 249 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 2: Ravens off a wildly emotional Pittsburgh game, go back on 250 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 2: the road. The Chargers, we said this a month ago, 251 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 2: now that they're healthy, are a really good football team. 252 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 2: Special teams offense. They're resourceful on offense, they're physical on defense. 253 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 2: They're getting two and a half. Baltimore does not have 254 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 2: like a Pittsburgh, Green Bay, San Francisco crowd, so it 255 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 2: will be mostly a Chargers fan base at home again. 256 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 2: Chargers come off a win, feeling good about themselves and comfortable. 257 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: The Ravens come off a physical, emotional rivalry game. I 258 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 2: like the Chargers plus two and a half. Sharper Square. 259 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 3: Two and a half is not where the wise guys 260 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 3: like it. They loved it at three. I think if 261 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 3: you're playing at two and a half, you're kind of 262 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 3: tempting fate, right, you would expect this to be a 263 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 3: field goal game. We both love the Chargers. We've talked 264 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 3: about how much we love the Chargers. We've played the 265 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 3: Chargers in multiple spots this season. Defensively they're great, but 266 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 3: who have they really played. We saw a little bit 267 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 3: of that Achilles heel against the Bengals when the Bengals 268 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 3: did such a good job coming back and probably should 269 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 3: have won that game if not for some really some 270 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 3: bad miss kicks and a couple of bad flags, and 271 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 3: the Chargers kind of blew it right. So can the 272 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 3: Chargers do to the Ravens what other teams have done 273 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 3: all year, which has beat them in the second half 274 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 3: through the air? The talent I think where everyone is 275 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 3: seeing what's going on with lab McConkie and are excited 276 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 3: about him is a connection with Justin Herbert. But the 277 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 3: Chargers have been terrible in the second half this year, 278 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 3: so you're gonna have to expect them to do something 279 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 3: they haven't done this year in the second half, which 280 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 3: is convert, and you're gonna have to expect them to 281 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 3: do it and basically win the game because you're betting 282 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 3: less than the field goal. 283 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: So at two and a half, it's just not very sure. 284 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 2: The NFL season's rolling along, the contenders are separating from 285 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 2: the pack. The one thing that hasn't changed this season 286 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 2: is Draft Kings sports book at official sports book partner 287 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: of the NFL are friends at the volume.

I think. I think Drake May 318 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 2: is finding himself. Miami is one of those teams where 319 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 2: you're never quite sure exactly what you get. They blow 320 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 2: more opportunities than they should. I think Miami wins this game. 321 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 2: But this just feels like an obvious sharp side New 322 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 2: England playing hard. People playing for stuff here, young team, 323 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 2: young coach, young quarterback. They're not playing like they want 324 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 2: the number one pick, nor do they need it because 325 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 2: they have their quarterback. They're not They're not soft tanking 326 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 2: for Shador Sanders. You know they have to upgrade positions 327 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 2: defensive end and wide receiver, and it's a defensive end 328 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 2: wide receiver draft. I like the Patriots to play hard, 329 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 2: keep it close, Sharper square. 330 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is an eye test game where at seven 331 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 3: and a half, the wise guys like the Patriots. 332 00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. 333 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 3: And if you've watched the Dolphins the past two weeks. 334 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 3: They were fine against the Rams. Their defensive line played great, 335 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 3: they got to Matthew Stafford, but the Rams gave that 336 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 3: game away five field goals. They couldn't score touchdowns, they 337 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 3: were missing snaps, they were thrown tipped interceptions. 338 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: They did not play well. 339 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 3: And if you look at the game against the Raiders 340 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 3: last week, the Dolphins were only up by five points 341 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 3: with three and a half minutes left, there was a 342 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 3: miracle defensive pass interference against the Raiders. They gave the 343 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 3: Dolphins the ball and converted a third down for them 344 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 3: instead of getting the Raiders the ball back, and that 345 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 3: was sort of the end of the game, and they 346 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 3: ended up scoring thirty five points or whatever it is. 347 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: But they were up by five points. 348 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,959 Speaker 3: The Raiders are going to cover that game, and if 349 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 3: they'd gotten the ball back, potentially won that game. So 350 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 3: I just haven't been impressed with the Dolphins, whereas I 351 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 3: have been really impressed with Drake may He's just a gamer. 352 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 3: And I think the biggest problem for this Patriots team 353 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 3: is Gerard Mayo is such a conservative play caller. It 354 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 3: doesn't seem to really know how to run the math. 355 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 3: Yet when you're going for two, should you go for one, 356 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 3: when do you want to go forward? 357 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: And fourth down? 358 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 3: He's coaching like a defensive coordinator in key sort of 359 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 3: pivot spots for the game, and that's where the biggest 360 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 3: challenge comes in for the Patriots to cover. 361 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 1: But the wise guys are with you. They like the 362 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: seven and a half. 363 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 2: I like the Colts at home getting seven and a half. Lions. 364 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 2: Remember they have to play on Thanksgiving, and they're you know, 365 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 2: they're playing perfect football. The Colts. I thought Anthony Richardson 366 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 2: looked as good as he has ever looked. I think 367 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,679 Speaker 2: they've kind of figured out what he is. Some of 368 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,360 Speaker 2: that is the Jets aren't very good, but I've been 369 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 2: saying this for a month. I like the Colts personnel. 370 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 2: I really do like both of their lines, especially their 371 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 2: O line. They've got playmakers on the outside. I could 372 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: see the Lions going to head to Thanksgiving. They're blowing 373 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: people out. I'm going to take the Colts plus seven 374 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 2: and a half at home. 375 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: Sharper Square couldn't be sharper sharpest player of the week. 376 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 3: Like the Colts are one of those teams where a 377 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 3: lot of wise guys when they look at this, certainly 378 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 3: how I think about it when I'm deciding if I 379 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 3: want to bet one of these ugly dogs, is do 380 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 3: I believe this is sort of the right side from 381 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 3: a number perspective. Is the team they are playing against 382 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 3: going to have an overinflated number because they're public because 383 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 3: of what they've been doing. The answer to that is, yes, 384 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 3: nobody is winning at a better clip than the Lions. 385 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 3: They are the odds on favorite to win the Super Bowl. 386 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 3: That number is naturally going to be bigger. That's number one. 387 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: Great. I like the Colts here. Number two. 388 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 3: Do I believe there's a part of the game where 389 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: they can be dominant. You just mentioned their offensive line, 390 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 3: best run blocking unit in the NFL. Jonathan Taylor has 391 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 3: been playing great, and I think with Anthony Richardson, I 392 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 3: think he played great last week. I think with his 393 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 3: ability to run against a defensive front that cannot get 394 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 3: pressure since Aden Hutchinson, they just can't. Every stat will 395 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 3: show you they are not a team that's getting a 396 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:10,479 Speaker 3: lot of pressure. 397 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: So that's number two. I'd like that number three. 398 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 3: There are a ton of trends that back this up, 399 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 3: and sometimes trends can be self fulfilling, but in this case, 400 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 3: like you got teams who are road favorites the game 401 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 3: after being a double digit favorite in any location. They've 402 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 3: had significant against the spread struggles the past decade, forty 403 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 3: three percent against the spread. Teams that are averaging thirty 404 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: three plus points in a ninety percent win percentage those 405 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 3: teams in this scenario thirty two percent against the spread, 406 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 3: and if they are coming off a double digit win, 407 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 3: twenty five percent against the spread. There's a lot of 408 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 3: matchup reasons. There's a lot of inflation reasons, then there's 409 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 3: trend reasons. 410 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: So checks out all the boxes. 411 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 2: Okay, a game I want you to talk. Be into 412 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: Broncos minus six at the Raiders. I know it's a 413 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,880 Speaker 2: divisional rivalry, but when you have young quarterbacks and young 414 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: teams growing in confidence, sometimes the markets behind them. Denver's 415 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 2: a really interesting team right now, so we know their 416 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 2: defense has been exceptional. Bon Nicks is making leaps like big, 417 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 2: no turnovers, moving well. Sean Payton texts me this week 418 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 2: and he's like, you know, you, guys, his arm is 419 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 2: way better than anybody understands. Greg co cell echoed that 420 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 2: this week he's like he's making NFL elite throws down 421 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 2: the middle. Of the field, hard deep throws. Arm is 422 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 2: not an issue. Talk me into it. I think the 423 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 2: Broncos are the side for me. Sharper square. 424 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's some of the feedback I've been getting to 425 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 3: this week is Wise guys continue to be really impressed 426 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 3: with the Broncos and feel like they have been emboldened 427 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 3: by that Chiefs loss. And we saw this week right 428 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 3: like the Wise guys, they were coming all over on 429 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,239 Speaker 3: the on the Broncos. They loved the Broncos in that 430 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 3: game and that and it matched right like it was 431 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 3: a Falcons team that was coming in and they were 432 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,880 Speaker 3: supposed to be a good team and the Broncos blew 433 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 3: them out of the water. Similarly, they're feeling the same 434 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 3: way this week about about the Raiders. I think the 435 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 3: number's gotten too high. It's at six, and that's because 436 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 3: the Wise guys have been betting it up. There's no 437 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 3: matchup reason to like the Raiders. Like their terrible team, 438 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 3: they seem to keep themselves in every game until Gardner 439 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 3: Minshew has some ridiculous turnover. He's got four lost fumbles 440 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 3: this year, which is I think second in the NFL. 441 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 3: He's got I think nine interceptions, which is third in 442 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 3: the NFL thirteen total turnovers. Like that's the script for 443 00:23:54,400 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 3: this game is Gardner Minshew's down by twelve points digit something, 444 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 3: has a chance to put his team and get him 445 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 3: through the back door, and he does something that costs 446 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 3: his team the game. And you know, he loses the ball, 447 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 3: he fumbles whatever. So you're probably on the right side, 448 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 3: but I think you've lost the value in the number. 449 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,719 Speaker 2: Okay, and finally give me a game I miss. I 450 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 2: like Kansas City off a loss minus eleven at Carolina, 451 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 2: but I'll stay away. But I think generally, you know, 452 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 2: Andy Reid doesn't lose. Patrick Mahomes doesn't lose, even though 453 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 2: he's not a great big favorite. Carolina is a bad team, 454 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 2: and Kansas City's pissed off, so I kind of like him. 455 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 2: But give me something else. 456 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 3: Well, look, it's Kansas City and Carolina. I hate to say, 457 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 3: Like the wise guys like Carolina here. They like what 458 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 3: they've seen from Bryce Young in the past two weeks 459 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 3: that he played. They like the idea that this is 460 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 3: also a really good run blocking unit. And while the 461 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 3: Chiefs run blocking run stopping defense is elite, there's still 462 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 3: an opportunity here for the Chiefs, and if they aren't 463 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 3: running a very well, they have liked what they've seen. 464 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 3: The wise guys have liked what they've seen from Bryce 465 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 3: Young and his ability to find the right receivers, especially 466 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 3: against the chief secondary that. 467 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: Isn't very good. 468 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 3: You got to go on the road win is a 469 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 3: double digit favorite. It's just a bad spot and historically 470 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 3: now this year, double digit favorites are rushing like it's been. 471 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 2: That's my take. At the top of this podcast was 472 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 2: the separate we're getting to be the NBA. The difference 473 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 2: between Denver and Orlando is significant. 474 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 3: Yes, So let me give you a couple of stats 475 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 3: here then if you're going to be talking about this, 476 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 3: because it helps illuminate it a little bit. 477 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: So double digit favorites are five. 478 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 3: To oh this year, so the first time they've been undefeated, 479 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 3: not against the spread, just undefeated this late in the 480 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 3: year and twenty seasons. Only the second time in the 481 00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 3: past forty seasons. Here's how extraordinary this is. Though they 482 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 3: are undefeated against the spread. For that, you have to 483 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 3: go back to nineteen fifty that is the last time 484 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 3: double digit favorites were undefeated against the spread through eleven weeks. 485 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 3: Let me put this in context for you, Colin. The 486 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 3: point spread was less than a decade old in nineteen fifty. 487 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 3: It was invented in like nineteen forty one by a 488 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 3: commodities trader in Chicago. So the last time there was 489 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 3: this kind of double digit cover streak was nineteen fifty 490 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 3: and the spread was an infant. It barely existed. But 491 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 3: that's how unprecedented this is. 492 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 2: People were betting pith helmets and bales of hay. 493 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 3: I mean, that was just exactly and Wooden Nichols, you know, Chad, 494 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,719 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, So they're going to be on this. So 495 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 3: but the point is the wise guys are going to 496 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 3: be on the Panthers. They're going to bet against the trend. 497 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 3: Same thing with the Titans, by the way, they don't 498 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 3: love it, but they're going to bet against how bad 499 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 3: the Titans have been against the spread. They're going to 500 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 3: bet against the inflation you get from the Texans beating 501 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 3: the Cowboys in prime time. They haven't been impressed. We 502 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,479 Speaker 3: see j Stroud this year. They do like the Titans 503 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 3: defense talk about unlucky. The Titans seem to shoot themselves 504 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 3: in the foot every week. So if they can get 505 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,400 Speaker 3: one of these breaks. That's the difference in a game 506 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 3: where the number is more than a touchdown. 507 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 2: Chad Melman, good to you, Good see anybody. 508 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: Good to see you too, brother. 509 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 2: The volume.
