Also a bit of a 33 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: rebound on hand for Cleveland. Cleveland that home favored by 34 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: three points, with looks like sixty of the bets but 35 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 2: only fifty five percent of the money coming in on 36 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers. The total currently sits as we record this. 37 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 2: Weit Wednesday night at forty and a half with fifty 38 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 2: seven percent of the bets on the over fifty three 39 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: percent of the money stuck. How's your week? And uh, 40 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: when you're ready to get us into what you think 41 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: of this game? 42 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 4: Yeah? What's going on? Brother? It was a good week 43 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 4: outside of my Ravens just rolling against me. I want 44 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 4: them to win and not cover, but they were just 45 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 4: way too good. Bengals linebackers and safety is way too bad. 46 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson dazzled again, but other than that, it was 47 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 4: a very good weekend. But we're on to the next 48 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 4: You're only as good as your next bet, and I 49 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 4: have one in this game, and I bet the Brown smaller. 50 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 4: I hate betting Thursday Night football. They came through for 51 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 4: me last week at minus two and a half, and 52 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 4: I bet them again this week at minus two and 53 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 4: a half. Ate a little juice at three gets a 54 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 4: little dice, So there should be low scoring, so every 55 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 4: point matters. These teams are very familiar with each other. 56 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 4: You know, you do have a home team on Thursday 57 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 4: Night Football, which I always do like. Teams on Thursday 58 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 4: Football are one hundred and two eighty six and six 59 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 4: against the spread about fifty four percent, so you have 60 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 4: an edge of about a half point. Historically in the 61 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 4: division it's not as great. You know, it's fifty three 62 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 4: to fifty one and two against the spread. And Freddie 63 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 4: Kitchen's the rookie head coach in a short week does 64 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 4: worry me a little bit. But for you trend players, 65 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 4: if a road opponent won outright as a dog the 66 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 4: week before, you know, going on the road for Thursday 67 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 4: Night football, which we have here is the Steelers beat 68 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 4: the Rams. The home team in that scenario, which would 69 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 4: be the Browns, is fourteen and five against the spread. 70 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 4: Small sample size about seventy four percent, covering by an 71 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 4: average of a touchdown a game. So if you guys 72 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 4: are looking for some trends out there, but let me 73 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 4: get into the matchup. Look, the Steelers have been rolling 74 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 4: of late, and you could argue that one of the 75 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 4: most important signings of the year has been Minka Fitzpatrick 76 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 4: on the defensive side, and their corners are playing really well, 77 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 4: although it should be knowed Joe Hayden is sick and 78 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 4: he didn't practice today. But Mike has played seven games. 79 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 4: You got five picks to force fumbles and two touchdowns. 80 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 4: It's crazy for a defender. But I will say that 81 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 4: the Steelers are benefiting from extreme turnover. Look extreme. I 82 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 4: mean in their last five games they have seventeen turnovers forced. 83 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 4: You know what the Browns have over that's meant two two, 84 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 4: So you know the Steelers are always going to force 85 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 4: turnovers because their defensive line gets a ton of pressure. 86 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 4: It begs you the question, can the Browns offensive line 87 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 4: hold up? You know, Ken Mayfield not turn it over 88 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 4: because those have been two major question marks here. But 89 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 4: basically what I'm betting on here is I have the 90 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 4: Browns rate slightly better than the Steelers, who are running well, 91 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 4: you know, and they've beat who have they beat? They 92 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 4: beat the Dolphins, they beat the Colts because Vinentitari missed 93 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 4: a field goal with Hoyer after Horier came, and they 94 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 4: beat the Chargers in the Rams and their defensive line 95 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 4: just dominated both of those games. What I'm fading here, though, 96 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 4: was Mason Rudolph. You always talk about the most important 97 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: position on the fields, a quarterback. He's not playing well. 98 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: I mean, by any stretch of the imagination. The Browns 99 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 4: can get pressure, and Baker Mayfield, we've talked about this 100 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 4: is bad under pressure. He's a quarterback rating a forty 101 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:55,279 Speaker 4: two point three among thirty quarterbacks with at least two dropbacks, 102 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 4: that's twenty nine. You know, there's only worse Mason Rudolph. 103 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 4: He can't throw it downfield. There's no closing this in 104 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 4: this offense. He's running well, and he's just he fumbles 105 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 4: the ball too much. So I'm trusting Mayfield, the better 106 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 4: running back, and I think slightly the better overall team 107 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 4: at home against a team that is just running really well, 108 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 4: a little over valued because they've won four in a row, 109 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 4: but it's been a lot of turnovers and a lot 110 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 4: of bad teams. Yeah, so I'll take the Browns. But again, 111 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 4: Thursday night football, it should be low scoring and close. 112 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 4: But I think the Browns pulled out just like they 113 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 4: did last week, and hopefully they can score from outside 114 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 4: the ten instead of having to make me sweat inside 115 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 4: the ten where theyre inevitably won't score. 116 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, this game, it looks like a toss up to me. 117 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 2: I think last week I talked to you about, hey, 118 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 2: would you bet the Steelers now? And you know, after 119 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: watching them and they were impressive against the Rams on defense, 120 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: but you kind of mentioned it. If the Browns can 121 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: just be competent, they can beat a team with a 122 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 2: good defense, especially at home, and we saw that with 123 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. You know, the Buffalo Bill's kind of 124 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 2: saint story. You know they can. They're kind of hot 125 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 2: and cold. They have a couple of players on offense 126 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 2: that can that can pop a big play and in 127 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 2: single tear and Brown But if those guys aren't hitting, 128 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 2: and you know it's a low scoring game, the Browns 129 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 2: have enough talent to kind of went out. I like 130 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: what Kitchens did getting Kareem Hunt and Chubb on the 131 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 2: field together, because you know, Chubb, he still got his 132 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: twenty carries or whatever it was is, you know, his 133 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 2: high high single digit team carries, and Hunt still caught 134 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: a bunch of balls. And I think that's going to 135 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: help their offense. You mentioned it. For Pittsburgh, it's just 136 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: where is the explosiveness? You know, Juju Smith Schuster has 137 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 2: been quiet. We saw James Washington kind of play a 138 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 2: larger role, but throughout his career it's been kind of 139 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 2: you don't know what you're getting when you let go 140 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: of the ball and throw to James Washington. I mean, 141 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: the catch eight for his career is you know, around 142 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 2: that fifty percent mark. So it's a toss up for me. 143 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 2: I would kind of win with you on and it 144 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: will probably be a defensive game. I don't necessarily see 145 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: a ton of points being scored to division games. So 146 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 2: at this point, I think I feel a little bit 147 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 2: better about the under in the spot because usually it's 148 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 2: a Tomlins spot. But I do agree. I think this team, 149 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 2: both these teams are pretty evenly matched. In Pittsburgh's on 150 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 2: the on the Road. 151 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 4: The Browns, by the way, haven't beat the Steelers since 152 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 4: twenty fourteen. 153 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 2: As we do every week, let's conclude our Thursday night 154 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: football breakdown with the coaches pep Talk. This week's pep 155 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 2: Talk comes to us once again from coach Pete Bell 156 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 2: from the nineteen ninety four film Blue Chips, and we're 157 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: dedicating it to the Cleveland Browns because just mentioned they 158 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 2: should be the better team here. They should be able 159 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: to get this home win and stay in the playoff race. 160 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: But we know they have a way about them. So 161 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 2: this one's for the Cleveland Browns. 162 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 4: Every time we get ready to play, I just want 163 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 4: to throw up. 164 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 2: So the press, I don't even want to talk about it. 165 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 4: I'm sick. I'm watching you guys play. Just how bad 166 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 4: can it get? 167 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: All right, Stuck, let's get to the main event, the 168 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 2: Sunday six. 169 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 1: Pack Thursday for action. Let's crack open the Sunday six pack. 170 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: All right, and of course, for anyone unfamiliar, the six 171 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 2: pack is when Stuck and I each draft our top 172 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: three spreadbats of the week. Our number one pick is 173 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: worth two points and the others are worth one. Stuck, 174 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: you took a decisive twenty nine twenty seven League. Last week, 175 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: you also have the first pick, which I almost stole 176 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: for or I tried to steal from you later not 177 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 2: even realizing you took it. But let's see where are 178 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: you going first for this week eleven, card. 179 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 4: I'm going to keep it simple here, and I'm rolling 180 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 4: with a team that i've been I faded last week 181 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 4: and I said that they were a fraud, and that 182 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 4: was the Bills. But I'm playing the Bills here minus 183 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 4: five and a half minus six against the Dolphins. I mean, 184 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 4: if you remember a couple of weeks ago, the Bills 185 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,079 Speaker 4: were seventeen point home favorites against the Dolphins. Seventeen. Now, 186 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 4: they didn't cover that game, but that's what that game 187 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,119 Speaker 4: closed at. And that game was played on October twentieth, 188 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 4: a few weeks ago. Now, all of a sudden, they're 189 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 4: only laying five and a half on the road, just 190 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 4: because this Dolphins team is starting to get love in 191 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 4: the market. But if you really look at it, the 192 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 4: Dolphins beat the Jets at home, and then they beat 193 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 4: the Colts with their third string quarterback and without a kicker. 194 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 4: The Colts don't have a kicker, by the way, which 195 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 4: I'm sure we'll touch on, but like, let's not go crazier. 196 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 4: This roster is still awful. They're offensive line, they're defense 197 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 4: on the most importantly, it's a great matchup for the 198 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 4: Bills the Dolphins, and they've been running well in the 199 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 4: turnoment department the Fitzpatrick turnovers are coming. But the Dolphins 200 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 4: can't run the ball. Not only did they trade Drake 201 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 4: Walton is out and overall for the season, they're dead 202 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 4: less than yards per carry. Their offensive line stinks, they 203 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 4: have no running game. It's basically on Fitzpatrick. Well, how 204 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 4: do you beat the Bills. You run against them. You 205 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 4: don't throw at them, they don't give up anything deep. 206 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 4: There's gonna be some turnovers here. And this is just 207 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 4: you're getting value in the Bills who lost the Browns 208 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,839 Speaker 4: last week, and people are starting to believe in the Dolphins. 209 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 4: All of a sudden, you're starting to see them take 210 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 4: betting action. The differences in these rosters is so significant 211 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 4: to me. Up front on the offensive and defensive lines. 212 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 4: The Bills are also more talented overall. Just under a 213 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 4: touchdown here, I feel as a gift. I played the 214 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 4: first half Bills minus three. I played the Bills minus 215 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 4: five and a half. So I'm rolling with the Bills here. 216 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 4: I think there's value on Buffalo on the road here 217 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 4: against I can't believe I'm saying, but a Dolphins team 218 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 4: I think is overvalued this. I mean this line should 219 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 4: be over a touchdown. I mean the close seventeen, which 220 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 4: I thought was close to right when they played in Buffalo. 221 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 4: So obviously I'm taking the points here with the Bills, 222 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 4: who match up well because their past defense is great 223 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 4: and the Dolphins and their run defense is week We 224 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 4: told you about that last week. The Bills are very 225 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 4: vulnerable in the run day, but the Dolphins can't exploit that. 226 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 4: You know, Dolphins also banged up. To give me the 227 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 4: Bills here and the bounce back they win by a touchdown. 228 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 2: Plus it's really the market just looking at the Browns 229 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 2: and not having a lot of trust to them, and 230 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 2: then they beat the Bills, and then of course the 231 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 2: Dolphins get a couple of wins. Like I don't think 232 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 2: the Dolphins are tanking. That's one thing I'll give him. 233 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: I think with Fitzpatrick and those guys, a lot of 234 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 2: those guys are just happy to have a job. They're 235 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 2: playing hard, you got to have a credit to Frontest. 236 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 4: I mean, he's doing the hell of a job. 237 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're just not very good and you mentioned it, Bills. 238 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 2: They are one of the worst run des in the league. 239 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 2: And like last week, one of the funnest things to 240 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 2: try to figure out for fantasy was like who's going 241 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 2: to be the number two for the Dolphins? Like we know, 242 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 2: is it gonna be weird? The special teamers are going 243 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 2: to be skin who's been scratched all you like, and 244 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 2: that they both under the planet a couple of snaps. 245 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 2: But Blage, I believe, went twenty for forty three, which 246 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 2: has been pretty much the case all year. So yeah, 247 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 2: if you can't run the ball, if you're just throwing 248 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 2: it up with Fitzpatrick, and this is a defense that 249 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: you do not you do not want to do that against. 250 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm with you on that one. For my 251 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 2: first pick, I am going with the New York Jets. 252 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: You know team we actually hit our money line partway 253 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 2: last week, I believe because the Steelers and Jets both won. 254 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 2: Now the Jets are going short trip away to Washington. 255 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 2: They're one and a half point dog against the quarterback 256 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 2: that hasn't won a game yet, So, you know, I 257 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 2: don't exactly know. You know, everyone's kind of just taken 258 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 2: for granted that Washington is kind of this, you know 259 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: what they are, and all these teams are in the 260 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 2: same boat. But this is another matchup where I think 261 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 2: the Jets have clear deficiencies. I think, you know, Sam 262 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 2: Darnold probably not what most people expected or had hope for. 263 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 2: But the one thing the Jets are good at, and 264 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: it's kind of the opposite of the Bills, they can 265 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 2: play run deep. They are number two in the league 266 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 2: in run defense DVA, twenty nine percent more efficient than 267 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 2: the league average, and we know that this is what 268 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: the Redskins want to do. Ever since they hired coach 269 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 2: Bill Callahan, the play volume has been down, the run 270 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: volume has been up. They've been, you know, a fifty 271 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: percent plus run team in most of these spots. They 272 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: after starting a rookie quarterback. You know, to me, they're 273 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 2: just kind of a poor man's version of the Jets. 274 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 2: Like the Jets have a number second year quarterback, they 275 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 2: stop the run instead of always wanting to run. They're 276 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: not using their start, their star running back things. They're 277 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 2: not using them enough. Direct the Bizarro Redskins. I think 278 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 2: they're the better team in this spot at this time 279 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: of the year. I mean, the Redskins are one and eight. 280 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: Jets showed a little bit of life anytime they play 281 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: a team, you know, like like a team that's kind 282 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: of in that same bucket, bad team giving, the team 283 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 2: taking the points, getting the points. You know, last week, 284 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 2: the Jets are getting points against the Giants. This week, 285 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 2: they're getting points against the Redskins. Again. That run defense, 286 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 2: I think is going to create problems for Washington. Who 287 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 2: wants to do that with their quarterback. 288 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, I actually might be on the other side of 289 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 4: you make good points there. I mean, look, the Jets, 290 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 4: they lead the NFL with what they're allowing three point 291 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 4: two yards per carry. Their defensive line is getting a 292 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 4: great push every week, which, yes, it should cause problems 293 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 4: for the Redskins, but the Jets team is still a mass. 294 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 4: Darnold has been a train wreck all year except for 295 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 4: that Dallas game. And the buye I think will really 296 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 4: help Haskins and the reds I mean, if you're gonna 297 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 4: have a buy help any team, it's gonna be a 298 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 4: rookie quarterback, you know, in a team that's one. I 299 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 4: think these teams are about even, so I make it 300 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 4: closer to a field goal, mainly because the Jets are 301 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 4: also so banged up. I mean, it is crazy. There's 302 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 4: something wrong with their strength and conditioning coach. They've averaged 303 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 4: ten more players on the injury report than their opponents 304 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 4: this year, ten on average. You know, you saw Robbie 305 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 4: Anderson hit the injury report today. Lev Bell wasn't practicing. 306 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 4: I mean, they're out of linebackers, their secondaries banged up. 307 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 4: Their D line is gonna come to play. Their safeties 308 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 4: are great, but I mean and everywhere else. Herndon just 309 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 4: went on ir I mean, it is bad. The Jets 310 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 4: are still a train wreck. To me. I think it's 311 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 4: a good spot for the Skins. But from a matchup perspective, 312 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 4: you make some good points with that Jets run defense, 313 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 4: because that's the one constant that they've had all year. 314 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: And it's funny because they really are the bizarre versions 315 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 2: of each other. Because who's the team that's always injured 316 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 2: inexplicably every year? The Washington Redskins always lead the league 317 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 2: in that category, So it should be not a good game. 318 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: But yeah, I just like the Jets for that run defense. 319 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 2: I think in this situation, you bet on the one 320 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: unit on both of these teams. That's really top tier. 321 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, all right. For my second pick, this is when 322 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 4: I stole from you and going with the Bucks plus 323 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 4: five and a half. It looks like he is out there. 324 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 4: I'm personally waiting to see if the six pops. But 325 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 4: look this line. I played the Bucks, and if you 326 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 4: think about it, the Bucks are what three and six? 327 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 4: They lost the game to the Titans, they should have won. 328 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 4: REF stole it from them. They choked against the Giants 329 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 4: and then they missed a twenty five yard field goal 330 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 4: and probably should have won that game. They lost in 331 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 4: overtime to the Seahawks. I mean, this team could easily 332 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 4: be six and three. The Saints last week was one 333 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 4: of the most shocking outcomes. And I was on the Falcons, 334 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 4: but their offensive line fell apart. And I know Pete 335 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 4: has been playing well, but he's going to be out 336 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 4: for a while. Latimore looks like he's going to be out. 337 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 4: That's big, you know, that is really big because they're 338 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 4: going against a dynamic wide receiver duo in Godwin and Evans, 339 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 4: and without Latimore, they don't have the best cornerback depth 340 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 4: in New Orleans. And so look this line and two 341 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 4: things that Tampa does really well. They defend the run 342 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 4: and they defend opposing backs. You know, I think they're 343 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 4: number one in the NFL in defending opposing backs out 344 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 4: of the backfield. So they contain backs really well. So 345 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 4: they're going to contain Camara. Now they cut Hargreaves and 346 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 4: people are like, oh, it's the number one corner, first 347 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 4: one drippick with the Texans picked up. That's how bad 348 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 4: the Texans secondary is. Harger's been a disaster. The first 349 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 4: time they played the Saints, he was targeted five times 350 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 4: to give five catches for one hundred yards. So that's 351 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 4: not a big loss in his effort. He wasn't he 352 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 4: was getting benched. They're still not going to be able 353 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 4: to cover Mike Thomas. Just throw that out there. No 354 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 4: one does, doesn't matter, It doesn't matter. So but the 355 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 4: Saints are still lacking other weapons outside of Kamara, who 356 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 4: the Bucks can contain and Thomas, who's going to go 357 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 4: off every week regardless. But their other receivers need to 358 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 4: step up, and you saw that last week. But I 359 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 4: think that the Bucks look and what this comes down 360 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 4: to to me is the Bucks. I think it creates 361 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 4: some pressure up the middle like the Falcons did, especially 362 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 4: without Pete. They're going to have who I don't know, 363 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 4: clap or Easton in there, and yeah he was bad 364 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 4: last week getting run over which led to all those sacks. 365 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 4: I think the Falcons at six sacks at seven sacks 366 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 4: in the year coming in. But I told you towards 367 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 4: when brew Brees took over, I only had the difference 368 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 4: between Breeze and Bridgewater as like one or two points. 369 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 4: I had to keep adjusting it, and it didn't make 370 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 4: sense to me, but I had to keep doing it. 371 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 4: So if you look back, I played the Bucks plus 372 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 4: three at New Orleans. Now they're catching five and a 373 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 4: half at home. Yes, it's with Breeze, but it's only 374 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 4: a point or two differents. That's crazy to me. I mean, 375 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 4: that's a six point swing on What really has changed 376 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 4: Latimore is out, their offensive line is now missing its 377 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 4: starting guard, and the Bucks kind of looked the same 378 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 4: as they did that. I mean, I don't think that 379 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 4: much has changed between these two teams since then, So 380 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of value with the Bucks. 381 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 4: Here's a lot of perception on you know, the Saints 382 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 4: are going to bounce back, blah blah blah, And I 383 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 4: think that the Bucks can cover this game. They're going 384 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 4: to have a lot of success through the air, especially 385 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 4: without a Lottimore. This will be your typical Bucks game. 386 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 4: And look, we say it all the time. Backing jamis 387 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 4: as a dog one of our favorite things to do. 388 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, and this is another classic spot where you know, 389 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,399 Speaker 2: the everyday public might kind of have a different perception 390 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 2: of these teams because the Tampa Bay Buccaneers you kind 391 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 2: of mentioned some bad beats. You know, when a team 392 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: that's like the Bucks thirty percent or less cover right 393 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 2: against the spread in a given season goes against the 394 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 2: team that's been covering at a fifty percent clip or more. 395 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: And that was all pretty much all Teddy Bridgewater just 396 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 2: undefeated against the spread. You know, from week six on, 397 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 2: the team that's not been covering, the team that's been 398 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 2: thirty percent of less has covered sixty two percent of 399 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 2: the time. So this is a spot where the books 400 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 2: make their money, you know, for for everyone out there 401 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 2: that kind of wants to be, you know, on the 402 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 2: side of the books. And if you look at the 403 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 2: betting percentage in the money percentages any Action network app, 404 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 2: it kind of tells a story of New Orleans potentially struggling. 405 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 2: And remember this is a road game for him, which 406 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 2: they tend to have letdowns. But you know, first of all, 407 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: with the spread, you have fifty seven percent of the 408 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 2: bets backing New Orleans, but only thirty six percent of 409 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 2: the money. And then you look at the total, which 410 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 2: I think is indicative of Okay, well, something's not gonna 411 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 2: go as expected. What's gonna happen? You have sixty six 412 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 2: percent of the bets on the over fifty, but only 413 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: twenty four percent of the money. So what that tells 414 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 2: me is that some people with some big money on 415 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 2: this game probably see the Saints struggling on offense, and 416 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 2: I think, yeah, Andrews Pete and the fact that the 417 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 2: Bucks are not only number one in run defense DVA, 418 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 2: but they're womening backs in the past game as well, 419 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 2: does spell trouble for the Saints. So yeah, that's I 420 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,479 Speaker 2: totally like this pick. This is like, the Bucks can 421 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 2: win any game. They're good enough to win any game, 422 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 2: they're bad enough to lose any because of that defense. 423 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 4: But that's why we love them as a dog and 424 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 4: not so much as a favor. 425 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 2: Right, speaking of dougs. For my second pick, I'm gonna 426 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 2: go with a large dog. I just think it's too 427 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: many points in this spot, especially considering how banged up 428 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 2: their opponent is. And that's the Arizona Cardinals. 429 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: Shocker Rayven's betting hun Kyler Murray. 430 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: But listen, this is this Cardinal team, another one of 431 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 2: those teams that they can win most games they're in. 432 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,640 Speaker 2: They could also lose anyone, but they're a Pusky team. 433 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: You know, they haven't really been getting blown out of 434 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 2: these last few spots. They've been pretty competitive. Even in 435 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 2: that San Francisco game where it looked like they were 436 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 2: going to be out of source. They really got nothing 437 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 2: going on offense for a half, and they've still managed 438 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 2: to kind of stay in that game take advantage of 439 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 2: from San Francisco injuries. You know, Kwan Alexander went out 440 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 2: in that game, really hurt their defense, and Arizona was 441 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 2: able to exploit that with backs in the in the 442 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 2: running game and get some crossers going. And now San 443 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 2: Francisco is just even more banged up. I mean Alexander's out, 444 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 2: you have the o line still banged up. Use check 445 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 2: is back, But you have Emmanuel Sanders game time decision, 446 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,479 Speaker 2: George Kittle game time decision, which would be key because 447 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 2: we know how the Cardinals fair against tight ends. And 448 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 2: Matt Brieda, of course, you know, seem to be on 449 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 2: injury report every week. Looks like he's actually going to 450 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 2: miss this game. So you're getting a center forty nine 451 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 2: er team short week just came off. 452 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 4: Where are Kittle? What the last you've seen with Kittle 453 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 4: and Sanders? Where are they trending? I was reading that 454 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 4: Sanders probably trending to out and Kittle, I mean he 455 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 4: is in practice. 456 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 2: No, they're calling them game time decisions. But yeah, like 457 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 2: when I like, it looks like they're gonna miss, but 458 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: you never know, you know, it's way again. We record 459 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: this on Wednesday. Hate to get anything definitive or anything 460 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 2: like that, but I just think, you know, the like 461 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: the fact that they're banged up in general, and they 462 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: struggled with this team, you know, with those guys healthy, 463 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 2: with sand and with these guys playing a big role. 464 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: I mean, Sanders was winning consistently on Patrick Peterson was 465 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: able to get over one hundred yards in that game. 466 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 2: George Kittle scored a touchdown, broke a couple of tackles. So, 467 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 2: you know, without these players, I think this is a 468 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 2: lot closer of a game, you know, for these Arizona Cardinals, 469 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 2: who are getting better, getting a little healthier, though they 470 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 2: might have all three of their backs now with Chase 471 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 2: Edmonds looks looking like he's nearing a return, and you know, 472 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 2: this is gonna be a competitive team. You know. Do 473 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 2: they win the game, probably not, but I think they 474 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 2: can keep it within the eleven and a half that 475 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 2: they're catching. So like the Cardinals in the spot, expect 476 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 2: them to kind of approve improve as the year progresses. 477 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: On the football field, Cliff Kingsbury has been willing to 478 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,719 Speaker 2: kind of make some adjustments when necessary's gone with heavier 479 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 2: personnel things like that. On the other hand, the forty 480 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 2: nine ers, I mean, they started about as well as 481 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: anyone could imagine. 482 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 4: But against nobody. They weren't really playing. 483 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 2: Anybody right exactly, So it's like you're gonna kind of 484 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 2: see I think both of these teams regress to the 485 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 2: mean a little bit. I just think there's too many 486 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 2: for Arizona team that kept it close with a bunch 487 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 2: of San Francisco's key players playing a big time role. 488 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would tend to agree, especially if you know 489 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 4: Kittle and Sanders are out. You mentioned that that first 490 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 4: game when they played, Emmanuel Sanders and George Kittle were 491 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 4: targeted seventeen times. They have thirteen catches for one hundred 492 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 4: and ninety one yards and two touchdowns. That's significant, and 493 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 4: especially considering the Cardinals can't cover tight ends. It's one 494 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 4: of their weak points. So if you're missing Kittle, which 495 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 4: is one of the most important pieces of San Fran offense, 496 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 4: and that's gonna be a huge missing piece. And then 497 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 4: we've talked to this before. Why the addition of Sanders 498 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 4: is so big is the on the outside, it's San Fran. 499 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 4: You have Kittle and they're running in and it's not much. 500 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 4: It's very young and raw. And you know, Deebo samuel 501 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,400 Speaker 4: Is he shouldn't be a number one receiver yet Pettis stinks. Yeah, 502 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 4: I mean, so they didn't have a number one and 503 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 4: that's why Sanders, you know, him coming in is really 504 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,640 Speaker 4: going to help them. By the way, your boy Jimmy 505 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 4: g has more turners and touchdowns this year, just throwing 506 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 4: that out there. So yeah, I agree with you. If 507 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 4: especially if Kittle and Sanders are out, I'm actually going 508 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 4: to look at this under But one thing to keep 509 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 4: an eye on is Arizona is running the ball as 510 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 4: well as any team in the NFL. And one of 511 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 4: the reasons for that if you look a lot of 512 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 4: advanced metrics and Kyle Murray's having a hell of a 513 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 4: year him throwing down field, he's been one of the 514 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 4: best quarterbacks throwing it deep. But they spread you out, 515 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 4: so then you know, it's when they do run it, 516 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 4: you're spread out and they're having success doing that. And 517 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 4: one of the weaknesses maybe of the San fran defense. 518 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,239 Speaker 4: It's hard to tell because they didn't play a lot 519 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 4: of great teams, is their run D. Their past D 520 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 4: they've shown and I'm I'm believing now it's a leap 521 00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 4: because not only is their secondary playing really well with 522 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 4: their pasts rushes elite and those two things compliment each other, 523 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 4: but their run defense looks a little vulnerable. It's a 524 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 4: you know, maybe a case of the Patriots. You know 525 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 4: how they were playing nobody, and you know, we knew 526 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 4: that their run defense is a little vulnerable. So look 527 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 4: out for the Cardinals potentially, you know, especially their full 528 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 4: stable of backs back, you know, they might be able 529 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 4: to exploit that too. So yeah, especially if Kittle and 530 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 4: Sanders banged up, I agree with you here for my 531 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 4: third pick, I'm going with the Atlanta Falcons once again 532 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 4: catching five and a half in Carolina. Look this Falcons team, 533 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 4: something happened and I was reading all these good quotes 534 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 4: all week about but you always read them, but it 535 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 4: seemed like something was different, which is one of the 536 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 4: reasons why I bet them against the Saints. And their 537 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,239 Speaker 4: defensive line finally showed out, and they've been banged up 538 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 4: in the secondary. Their secondary is still iffy, but it's 539 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 4: going to obviously get better with experience. But their defensive 540 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 4: line dominated and I think it can have a lot 541 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 4: of success here against Carolina. But mainly what this is 542 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 4: and Atlanta's run defense has actually been good because they're 543 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 4: im is really good. They're middle linebacker, their front yeah, 544 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 4: with Davison McKinley, Grady Jarrett is just a monster in 545 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 4: the middle. So they've actually been Dean Jones at middle linebacker. 546 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 4: They've been good against the run. I would look, I 547 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 4: drove the bus on the Kyle Allan Bamway and we 548 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 4: casht with it. But let's take a look back now 549 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 4: and see what Kyle's It's not great, guys, Kyle Allen 550 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 4: has been inaccurate. He has more turnovers and touchdowns that killing, 551 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 4: you know, and you got unlucky in that because you 552 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 4: had the Panthers last week and even though Allan was bad, 553 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 4: the rest were awful in that game and they almost 554 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 4: still covered. But look, Kyle Allen, there's a lot of 555 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 4: worrying statistics. He was going into last week. He was 556 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 4: leading the NFL and turnover worthy throws. I mean, this 557 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,239 Speaker 4: is a league with Mitch Trubisky in it, so he's 558 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 4: been getting lucky as well. And he's not been accurate 559 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 4: in his deep ball, which is one of the things 560 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 4: that I would have liked from him when he's not 561 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 4: throwing the Christian McCaffrey subpar So it's a fate of 562 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 4: Kyle Allen as well. And look, we've talked about this 563 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 4: all year. The Panthers run de stinks and I can't 564 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 4: figure out. I mean, I know, it's like a one 565 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 4: funnel d And the way that they play in their 566 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 4: secondary is why their secondary is so good, and they 567 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,719 Speaker 4: don't give up a ton, but the Falcons are going 568 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 4: to get there is even without Hooper and with Matt Ryan. 569 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 4: But the Panthers run d has been bad all year, 570 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 4: arguably the worst in the NFL. So I think the 571 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 4: Falcons are going to be able, and they committed to 572 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 4: the run last week. I think they're gonna be able 573 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 4: to run it set up the pass with Ryan and 574 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 4: their talented receivers. They'll miss Hooper a little bit, but 575 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 4: I think the Falcons keep this close. Wouldn't be shocked 576 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 4: if they win the game. 577 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's like one of the reasons I have. 578 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 2: I'm pretty high on Brian Hill this week in fantasy. 579 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, Freeman wasn't doing anything, by the way, he was 580 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 4: averaging with three and a half yards per attempt, right. 581 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 2: Like you're just looking for volume here, and it's kind 582 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 2: of a situation similar to Miami in terms of the usage, 583 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 2: where we saw he'll get twenty carries last week when 584 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 2: Freeman went down Barnard, they don't they think of him 585 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 2: as a special teamer, so he got one all of 586 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 2: a sudden. The rookie's been an active all year, so 587 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 2: this will be his first action. I think they will 588 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 2: commit to Hill, and he was. Let's not forget Hill 589 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 2: has had a great preseason to the point where there 590 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 2: was some thought that he was going to win that 591 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 2: number two job from Eto Smith, who of course is 592 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 2: now on IRS. So I think the Falcons matchup decently well. 593 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 2: Panthers have been getting kind of some unlucky breaks too, 594 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: but yeah, I think the Falcons they look like they've 595 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 2: turned the corner. I mean, it was getting bad out 596 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 2: there with Dan Quinn and Arthur Blank of course didn't 597 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: didn't fire him and kind of kept him through the 598 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 2: buy and obviously something happened. So you know, I'm actually 599 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 2: looking forward to to watching this game. I think it'll 600 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 2: be a good one and the Falcons are probably the 601 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 2: right side. Yeah. 602 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 4: I was actually gonna bring that up to you that 603 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 4: I was guessing that you were gonna be high on 604 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 4: Hill because I think he's gonna have a big day 605 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 4: and the Falcons are going to feed him and that 606 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 4: was their success last week to keep the opposing offense 607 00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 4: off the field. And by the way, they signed a 608 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 4: kicker who I liked. He was cut by the Chargers coup, 609 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 4: so he's going to help too. But yeah, I mean 610 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,479 Speaker 4: this Panthers team and the other thing is is that 611 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 4: this Panthers team, there's a lot of there's more Kyle 612 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 4: Allen regression coming. I'm just telling you, with turnovers and interceptions. 613 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 4: And this game is like for the Panthers season, right, 614 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 4: given the division that they're in. They're five and four, 615 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 4: they're at home. All the pressure is on Kyle Allen. 616 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 4: The Falcons, Matt Ryan and company. They can come in 617 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 4: here and they're just playing easy and free and spoil 618 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 4: like they did last week. So I think with the 619 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 4: young quarterback, you're gonna see him break here. I think 620 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 4: the Falcons went out right. Where are you going with 621 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 4: your thirde? 622 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 2: I mean, I just I'll just say this, like I 623 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 2: obviously ask somebody that you know does this fantasy thing 624 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 2: and makes projections every week. I will tell you the 625 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 2: one way you know you don't cover this bet, Like, 626 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: probably the most likely way you don't cover is if 627 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey goes for approximately five thousand yards. 628 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, which is always possible. 629 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 2: That's really the only that's That's the thing. I think 630 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 2: that especially out. 631 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 4: Of the backfield, because I mean, the good thing is 632 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 4: the Falcons get a good push and they defend the 633 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 4: run well their secondary has been decimated, but I don't 634 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 4: know if they have anyone that can cover McCaffery, especially 635 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 4: out of the backfield, and that's who Allen loves throw 636 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 4: to more than anyone, and wouldn't anybody. But yeah, you're right, 637 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 4: that's that's always the. 638 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 2: Fun fact for the first time, and I believe it's 639 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 2: since twenty fifteen when Dan Quinn took over as the 640 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: head coach. You know, obviously big impact on the defense. 641 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 2: The Falcons do not lead the league in catches allowed 642 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 2: by running backs. They're actually way down at number two 643 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 2: twenty six. So, as you mentioned, some some kind of 644 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 2: change with that scheme in that front. They're playing a 645 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 2: little bit different way. Obviously the injuries teams are attacking 646 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 2: the more. 647 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, they're playing more man. They're playing a different scheme too, 648 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 4: which will help against backs. So maybe that will help 649 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 4: a little bit against mccafrey because they are playing much 650 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 4: more man than they have in the past. With Squinn 651 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 4: comes from that Caral Tury. 652 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 2: For my third pick, I'm going with a team that 653 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 2: let me down, went to London and laid a complete egg. 654 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 2: That's the Jacksonville Jaguars. I still think this team is 655 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 2: a little bit undervalued. I think this is one of 656 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 2: the you know, one of these teams in the AFC 657 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 2: that's kind of middle of the pack and another one 658 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: of those teams that's kind of capable of winning any 659 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 2: game they step foot in. They have a solid defense, 660 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 2: they can get pressure, you know, even with you know, 661 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,719 Speaker 2: losing Jay when Ramsey, they still have aj Bouyer, a 662 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 2: really good running back that can pick up yards. You know. 663 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 2: I know he hasn't really gotten to the end zone 664 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 2: and winner Fournette, but he can kind of carry up 665 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 2: and down the field. And it looks like they're getting 666 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 2: d Ede Westbrook back, which is big because you look 667 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 2: at DJ Chark, who's having an outstanding season and even 668 00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,920 Speaker 2: his numbers kind of dipped a little bit. Without Westbrook. 669 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 2: You're also getting Nick Foles back, who obviously I think 670 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew exceeded all expectations, but I think Nick Foles 671 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 2: is still you know, there is a reason that they 672 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 2: kind of went out and got him and his brief 673 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 2: action this year, he played really well before going down, 674 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 2: and I think it's kind of like a lot of 675 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 2: people don't really know how to approach this game. You know, 676 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: It's like Brissette probably will be back for Hoyer, So 677 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 2: there's a lot of uncertainty with both quarterbacks. But you know, healthy, 678 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 2: I give Nick Foles an edge over Brissett. And this 679 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 2: coach team, they're another team. You know, they're capable of 680 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 2: winning games. They're well coached. They you know, we saw 681 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 2: that against the Kansas City Chiefs when they got a 682 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 2: close victory against the hobb with Mahomes. But this team 683 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 2: also has a lot of downside. We saw that against 684 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins, not being able to kind of pull 685 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 2: out that game. They're banged up there without t Y Hilton, 686 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 2: which I think is big because. 687 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 4: A bunch of other receivers too them. 688 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 2: They receiving course, Oh yeah, I mean they signed Marcus Johnson, 689 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 2: who most people probably don't even know who that is. 690 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 2: But they signed Marcus Johnson who was on the team 691 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 2: last year, played a few games, and he immediately spotted 692 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 2: in and played eighty six percent of the routes last week. 693 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 2: Because I look at this stuff for fantasy, so I'm 694 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 2: always up on these like route numbers, like he played 695 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 2: eighty six percent of the routes. But this is a 696 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 2: guy who'siged off the street. T y Hilton's still out. 697 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 2: You have Paris Campbell out as you you know, as 698 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 2: you to when you have these coin flip games, you 699 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 2: have kind of teams you look at, Okay, they're even 700 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 2: we matched. Then to me, it just comes down who 701 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 2: can who's more likely to convert a third down? You know, 702 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 2: in a key situation, is it Nick Foles throwing to 703 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 2: to Chark in Westbrook, you know, with with Fournette potentially 704 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 2: out of the backfield, or is it Yakobe Brissett throwing 705 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 2: to Jack Doyle maybe Eric Ebron who got twelve targets 706 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 2: and didn't do much like it's I think the Jabs 707 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 2: have enough of an edge in the passing game, you know, 708 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,680 Speaker 2: coming off a bad loss a bye, I think they 709 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 2: should be a little bit. They should be. They should 710 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 2: they should come out of the gates firing in this one. 711 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 2: The coach a little bit out of sorts. I think 712 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 2: people will overrate Brissette returning. 713 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 4: By the way, I lost all all, I said, I 714 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 4: lost all my survivor entries on the Colts against Chiefs. 715 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 4: I had one left and I lost it on the 716 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 4: Colts against the Dolphins. 717 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 2: Oh my god. 718 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 4: By the way they've played every single game this year, 719 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 4: there's been one possession. Every single game has been decided 720 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 4: by one possession with the Colts, and it's the only 721 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 4: team in the NFL obviously that has done that. But 722 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 4: you know, they can beat or lose to anyone. But 723 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 4: I think that they we were saying that they were 724 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 4: a good team, a shitty team, what was my word, 725 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 4: A shitty team that's well coached. But then last week 726 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 4: Frank Reich's you know, calling time out so he doesn't 727 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 4: get the ball back. I mean, just there was bad 728 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 4: even bad coaching, and then they don't commit penalties. They 729 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 4: don't really hurt themselves when it's not Hoyer throwing picks. 730 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 4: But this team's bad. Their offensive line is really good, 731 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 4: and they can run the ball a little bit, but 732 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 4: you can run on them, you know, to see her. 733 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,080 Speaker 4: And their secondary is still banged up, and it's just 734 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 4: not a great team, especially when their weapons on the 735 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 4: outside are banged up. They can't stretch the field. That 736 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 4: doesn't open up anything else with your tight ends and everything. 737 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 4: I mean, it's the same shit that's going on the Eagles. 738 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 4: And also you got to remember the Colts don't have 739 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 4: a fucking kicker. I've been screaming all year, how do 740 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 4: you not cut out of military because he used to 741 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 4: make kicks. I mean, there's going to become a time 742 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 4: when Justin Tucker is going to have to go do 743 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 4: opera and that's gonna be fine, and the Ravens will 744 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 4: cut him and you know, just like the Patriots would. 745 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 4: I mean, this is crazy that you're just holding on 746 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 4: to him because he used to make kicks. So that's 747 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 4: another factor too, because that basically cost him the game 748 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 4: last week. So yeah, I agree with you. I think 749 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 4: the Jags win this game. 750 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 2: Yeah it's Vinitari. I mean, think of it this way. 751 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: He's been one of them. He's been one of the 752 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 2: historically great Patriots kickers, and they got rid of him 753 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 2: years ago, years ago. So yeah, the Coats are kind 754 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 2: of they kind of they were kind of riding at 755 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 2: high of you know, Brissette playing well over those first 756 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 2: few weeks, and I think he's a solid quarterback, but 757 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 2: this team is not. It's a team that was largely 758 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 2: carried by the brilliance of Andrew Luck and you're starting 759 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 2: to see some holes get exposed without Luck there, all right, 760 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 2: So that does it for our Sunday six pack Stuck 761 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,720 Speaker 2: has the Bucks plus five and a half, the Falcons 762 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 2: plus five and a half, and the Buffalo Bills as 763 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 2: a six point road favorite in Miami. I went with 764 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 2: the New York Jets at a point and a half, 765 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars plus two and a half, and the 766 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals plus eleven and a half. Now it's jump 767 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 2: into our favorite over under of the week. All right, Stuck, 768 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 2: since you started us off with the Sunday six pack, 769 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 2: I'll go first with my over underpick. I like the 770 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 2: Bears Rams under this week. The Bears under in general 771 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 2: has been pretty profitable, but you just look at the 772 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,280 Speaker 2: Rams and first of all, I know Dick Fangio has gone, 773 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 2: but this the Bears defense is really the defense that 774 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 2: kind of gets credited for. I guess you could say 775 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 2: down like the downfall of the Rams offense because you know, 776 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 2: they started playing those six man fronts and kind of 777 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 2: limiting some of the outside zone stuff. Rams continue to 778 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 2: be banged up on the old line. You know, we 779 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 2: saw that in a game against Pittsburgh where granted it's 780 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 2: a good defense, but to the Bears, a normal Rams 781 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 2: team should be able to outscore that Pittsburgh team playing 782 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 2: the way they were last week didn't happen for the 783 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 2: Rams in this spot. And then on the other side, 784 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 2: you have the Bears, who I don't think they got 785 00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 2: a first down and what was it the the third 786 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 2: quarter or the fourth quarter last week or something like, 787 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 2: they're struggling. They played a massive stafford as Lions team 788 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 2: and you know, kind of struggled to really gut out 789 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 2: of victory. 790 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:01,160 Speaker 4: There. 791 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 2: Scored only twenty points in that one against the Lions 792 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 2: defense that's been vulnerable. I think this Rams defense is 793 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 2: stronger with Jalen Ramsey. I think, you know, Wade Phillips 794 00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 2: obviously will be able to, you know, to draw up 795 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,439 Speaker 2: something kind of match Matt Naggy and his creativity because 796 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 2: he's really, i mean, he's got less and less to 797 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 2: work with. It seems like every time Mitch Trubisky throws 798 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 2: an incompletion. So yeah, both of these teams struggling on offense. 799 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 2: I think it will be another one of these defensive 800 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 2: defensive showdowns, unfortunately in primetime for those people. 801 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:29,760 Speaker 4: That like points. 802 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 2: But I'm going with the under forty and Bears Rams. 803 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would to agree that this Bear the Rams 804 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 4: defense is playing really well, and it's Mitch Trubisky and 805 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 4: the Bears can't run the ball. These are two top 806 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 4: five run defenses, by the way, and the Rams offensive 807 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 4: line is a disaster. I haven't seen his out. He 808 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,239 Speaker 4: wasn't any good. Blake moved to center. They have new guards. 809 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,919 Speaker 4: You know, you have Kid the Browns traded for nothing. 810 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 4: Corbett is in there. You have a guard now a tackle. 811 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 4: Whitworth is getting older. I mean, it's a disaster. And 812 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 4: anytime they play a team that can get pressure, and 813 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,439 Speaker 4: the Bears can, their offense doesn't do anything. And golf 814 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 4: under pressure is horrible. He needs time to set his feet. 815 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,879 Speaker 4: He's a mechanical throw. And look the last five games, 816 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 4: look at the Rams. They played three teams that don't 817 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 4: get a lot of pressure, Cincinnati, Seattle, Atlanta. They averaged 818 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 4: over twenty seven points per game. The two teams they 819 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 4: played they get pressure, the forty nine Ers and the Steelers, 820 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 4: they averaged five offensive points per game. They scored one 821 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,359 Speaker 4: touchdown and one field goal. So I think the Bears 822 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 4: will be able to get pressure. I don't think either 823 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 4: team's gonna have a ton of success running the ball. 824 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 4: This is a rock fight. I think that the Rams 825 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,400 Speaker 4: eventually pull it out just because they have more talent 826 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 4: on the outside and they're at home. I think it 827 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 4: could be a big day for your boy Cup and 828 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 4: I think that might be the difference. And again it's 829 00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 4: Mitch Trubisky on the road, So I think the Rams 830 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 4: pull it out, but I should be auagly. I agree 831 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:41,799 Speaker 4: with you on the under. I played the first half 832 00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 4: under twenty and a half. Will probably be adding the 833 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 4: full game under as well. All right, for my total, 834 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 4: I'm also going with an under. I'm going Patriots Eagles 835 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,919 Speaker 4: under forty four and a half. Also, like the first 836 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 4: half under, I'll be splitting that seeing if he gets 837 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 4: back up to forty five. Look would think Eagles have 838 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 4: to do and we talked about this with the Sean 839 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 4: Jackson being out, their offense just isn't explosive anymore and 840 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 4: everything is clogged in the middle. You can focus on erths. 841 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 4: They can't do much, so what they have to do 842 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 4: and their defense has a lot of questions, especially in 843 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 4: the secondary. So what they have to do is try 844 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,399 Speaker 4: and be a ball control offense, lead the clock, keep 845 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 4: the keep their defense off the field. And that's what 846 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 4: they've been doing of late, and that's what I think 847 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 4: they have to do against the Patriots and their offensive line, 848 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,400 Speaker 4: and Eagles offense line is excellent, you know, by I 849 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 4: think Pro Football Focus rates them number one in run 850 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 4: blocking in the NFL, and you know, so, I think 851 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,280 Speaker 4: that they can get pushed, they can keep drives going, 852 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 4: but they're not gonna have much success in the red zone. 853 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,440 Speaker 4: And this is the type of game that the Patriots 854 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 4: defense thrives in. Right. It's not Lamar Jackson, it's not 855 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 4: a mobile quarterback, and there's not explosive receivers on the outside. 856 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 4: You might even see Gilmour on Ertz. But they can 857 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 4: just play blanket man cover zero and bring pressure. Their 858 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 4: run defense is still a little vulnerable, and the Eagles 859 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 4: can have some success on the ground, but ultimately the 860 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,799 Speaker 4: Patriots can play how they want to play in this 861 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,960 Speaker 4: game and just smother the receivers on the outside and 862 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,839 Speaker 4: look evenside Jordan Matthew's back to receiving. I mean, matt 863 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,800 Speaker 4: Collins has played what one hundred and ninety eight thousand 864 00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 4: straight snaps without a catch. It's bad, you know. I Mean, 865 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 4: Jeffery has been banged up, but he's a step slow 866 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 4: down his age, So it's a bad situation. It's a 867 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 4: perfect matchup for this New England secondary for them to 868 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 4: load the box and the other side of the ball. 869 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 4: The New England offense just still isn't right. It's still 870 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 4: off timing wise, and especially in that offensive line. I 871 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 4: think they'll get it together by the end of the year. 872 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 4: They have one of the best offensive line coaches in the 873 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,760 Speaker 4: NFL and will start to gel. I think the Eagles 874 00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 4: defensive line, which is excellent, can get some pressure throw 875 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 4: Brady off of his game. He's gonna have some success 876 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 4: move in the ball against his secondary. But I think 877 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 4: this is ugly lower scoring. Now. I want to throw 878 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 4: this out there. The Patriots are coming off of a 879 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 4: loss and a bye. The Eagles are coming off of 880 00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 4: a bye as well. The Patriots went off of a 881 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 4: loss with Tom Brady at the helm, and this is ridiculous. 882 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 4: After a loss, are twenty eight and three against the 883 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 4: spread one t eight and three, covering by margin of 884 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 4: almost a touchdown a game twenty eight three ninety percent. 885 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 4: You know what, they are on the road twenty and 886 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 4: two against the spread after a straight up loss. I 887 00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,839 Speaker 4: actually faded them in one of these spots last year, 888 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 4: which was their last loss of one of their only 889 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,360 Speaker 4: one again at the Steelers late in the year. I 890 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 4: think they've won like seventeen spots in a row like this, 891 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000 Speaker 4: so they're gonna be mad. Brady's been talking about the 892 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 4: Super Bowl. They're still pissed about. I'd be very afraid 893 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 4: of the Patriots here. It doesn't matter how many people 894 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 4: are betting them. I mean, these are the types of 895 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,399 Speaker 4: games they cover. But I like the under in this one. 896 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 2: Don't like don't love the favorites usually, but yeah, I 897 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 2: might I might have to lay some money with the 898 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 2: Patriots because really like the spot, and we always talk 899 00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 2: about they're under, especially when they go on the road. 900 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 2: Since twenty sixteen, they're twenty one and six toward the 901 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 2: under when they go on the road and you really 902 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 2: start you're really starting to see that take hold with 903 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 2: with how good this defense is and all the different 904 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 2: things they can do. So yeah, I think that the 905 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 2: only real worry here is probably the Patriots, you know, 906 00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 2: getting over on that that egos defense that should play better, 907 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 2: but you know, being healthier. But if they if the 908 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 2: Patriots can kind of do some things on the back end, 909 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 2: which doesn't appear as likely without Gordon, so you know 910 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 2: they'll probably be a dink and done team and the 911 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 2: under should hit. So I think it's the right I 912 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 2: think it's the right call. 913 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 3: Hope you're enjoying this great action network podcast.

We we teas in this week. 931 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 4: I am going I already mentioned the Rams. I think 932 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 4: they get it. Done in an ugly one. I'll take 933 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,360 Speaker 4: the more talented offense and not Mitch Trubisky at home, 934 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 4: so teasing them down to a pick and then also 935 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 4: teasing the Jags from a field goal over a touchdown. 936 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,600 Speaker 4: I think they're two and a half, three up to 937 00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 4: eight and a half or nine. Like I said before, 938 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 4: I think the Jags win, and the Colts have played 939 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 4: every single game this year has been decided by one possession. 940 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 4: I don't think they have the ability to blow off 941 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 4: the Jags. So I'm going with Rams Jags. 942 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually like the Jags. Two, I'm going Jags 943 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 2: Jets again, just another team. Like I don't see Washington 944 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 2: blowing out anyone. I don't see. I don't know if 945 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 2: I see Washington winning this game against the great run defense. 946 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 2: Dwayne Haskins hasn't yet. I think the key for Washington 947 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,280 Speaker 2: would probably be to get their guy Terry McLaurin loof 948 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,560 Speaker 2: against that Jets secondary, because the Jets have been really 949 00:40:55,600 --> 00:41:00,640 Speaker 2: good in the slot and that so really need to 950 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 2: kind of throw the ball outside of the numbers down the field, 951 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 2: and I don't know if they're willing to do that. So, 952 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,600 Speaker 2: like the Jets, chances of not getting blown out, and 953 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,920 Speaker 2: you already hit on it with the Jags, all right, 954 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,760 Speaker 2: So there you have it. Stuck going with the Jags 955 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 2: and Rams. I am going with the Jags and the 956 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 2: New York Jets for our weekly teaser. And now let's 957 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,160 Speaker 2: get into our underdog. 958 00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 1: Parlay turning good weekends into great weekends. It's time for 959 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: the money line parlay. 960 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 2: All right. Stuck, So we finally got back on the 961 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 2: on the board here, both hitting our money line picks 962 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 2: at the same time. You had the Pittsburgh Steelers, I 963 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 2: had the New York Jets. Both of them won their 964 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,840 Speaker 2: football games. If you I bet that, you would have 965 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 2: gotten a four hundred and seventy eight dollars profit off 966 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 2: a one hundred dollar bet. So we got to keep 967 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 2: it going. Where are you looking on the board. It's 968 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 2: pretty ugly card, but there's some pretty good underdogs on 969 00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 2: the slate. 970 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've said it before. I think this is a 971 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 4: bad Kyle Allen game. I think you're going to see 972 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 4: a resurgent Falcons team down the stretch. I'm taking the 973 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 4: Falcons here. I think they get another upset win. 974 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 2: How to find a way to get the bucks in here, 975 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,440 Speaker 2: So they're going to be my money line picked this week. 976 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 2: So there you have it. We both have these NFC 977 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 2: South underdogs bucks plus two five Falcons plus two hundred. 978 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 2: If you bet this money line parlay, you would get 979 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 2: a payout of eight hundred and fifteen dollars. On a 980 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 2: one hundred hour bet meeting, you'd win nine to fifteen 981 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 2: in total. So hopefully we continue to hit in this 982 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,120 Speaker 2: spot and these teams that one is underdogs come through 983 00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,239 Speaker 2: for us again this week. Now, let's quickly cover the 984 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,239 Speaker 2: best of the rest, which are all the games that 985 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 2: didn't make it into any other segment. All right, So 986 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,439 Speaker 2: first up, I'll just get this one out of the way. 987 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 2: We have the Dallas Cowboys three point favorites at the 988 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 2: Detroit Lions total at fifty one, but this one is 989 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 2: really off the board. As we record this, there's some 990 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 2: uncertainty regarding whether Matthew Stafford will indeed make his return, 991 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,160 Speaker 2: so any weans on this one, you know, either way. 992 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 4: It's obviously gonna come down to whether or not Stafford plays, 993 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 4: which we're gonna have to wait for. But I do 994 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,520 Speaker 4: think that the Cowboys, as long as they're play calling, 995 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:12,160 Speaker 4: is not as asinine as it was last game. I 996 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 4: do think that they can have some success moving the 997 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 4: ball with Dak and throwing it and oh Z doesn't 998 00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 4: look right, But look, their offense line is really good. 999 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,400 Speaker 4: The lines don't get any pressure, so Dak's gonna have 1000 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 4: all day to do what he wants. So I think 1001 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 4: that the Cowboys, as long as they're play calling doesn't 1002 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,400 Speaker 4: go off the rails again like it did late in 1003 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,040 Speaker 4: that game against Minnesota. I don't think that the either 1004 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,280 Speaker 4: team will have any trouble moving the ball, but the 1005 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 4: Cowboys offense is just much more dynamic. They do have 1006 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 4: the running piece, which the lines have none of. So 1007 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 4: I would favor the Cowboys here getting it done. But 1008 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,239 Speaker 4: obviously it depends on Stafford. So keep an eye out 1009 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 4: for our betting guide, which we'll have tons of info 1010 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 4: on that game and updated injuries and analysis and any 1011 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 4: bets that we like. 1012 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, just looking ahead to the playoffs. Like 1013 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 2: the Cowboys are a dangerous team because they can run 1014 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,280 Speaker 2: the ball. They can, they have a good old line, 1015 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,359 Speaker 2: they can play defense. You know, still have letdowns here 1016 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,160 Speaker 2: and there, but I think if they put the ball 1017 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 2: in Dak Prescott's hands and maybe you couldn't say that 1018 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,439 Speaker 2: in these previous couple of years. But if they put 1019 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,440 Speaker 2: the ball on Dak's hands and say this is who 1020 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:11,800 Speaker 2: we are. We're a team that's going to throw the 1021 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,280 Speaker 2: ball forty times to Mamari Cooper, Michael Gallup, Cobb, you know, Elliott, 1022 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 2: all those guys. This is a dangerous team come playoff time. 1023 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens with the play caring because 1024 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,239 Speaker 2: I do like the upside of the of the Dallas Cowboys. 1025 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,799 Speaker 2: The next game is one that should be a really 1026 00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 2: good one. Houston traveling to Baltimore. The Ravens four point favorites. 1027 00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 2: The total is fifty stuck. The Houston Texans are usually 1028 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 2: a team you want to bet when they're a road underdog. 1029 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,399 Speaker 2: Any interest in the Texans are You're back in your 1030 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,840 Speaker 2: Ravens after they let you down by covering. So they 1031 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:43,680 Speaker 2: didn't really let you down, but you know. 1032 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:45,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was the first time of letbon down all 1033 00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 4: year from a bet perspective. Look, I mean the Texans, 1034 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,440 Speaker 4: you have a buy coming into this, which helps when 1035 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 4: you're preparing for a unique offense such as the Ravens. 1036 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 4: So their run defense has actually been really good. Now 1037 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,439 Speaker 4: obviously they're going to miss Wat the rest of the year, 1038 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 4: but they've been really good against the run, and they've 1039 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 4: been really good against covering tight ends, which are two 1040 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 4: things you need to do against the Ravens. Now, I 1041 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,279 Speaker 4: don't think they're going to be as good against the 1042 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 4: run going forward without Wat, who's worth a couple points 1043 00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 4: to the spread and the you know, the Ravens of 1044 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,120 Speaker 4: an excellent offensive line is when no one really talks about, 1045 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 4: especially from the pass blocking perspective. But on the other 1046 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 4: side of the ball, you know, the Ravens secondary is 1047 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,760 Speaker 4: so good now. And then I told everyone about Marcus Peters. 1048 00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,839 Speaker 4: He has two touchdowns now. With him, Jimmy smith Beck 1049 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 4: and Marlon Humphrey, they're one of the few teams that 1050 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 4: can match up with the Texans on the outside. But 1051 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,520 Speaker 4: one of the things that you worry about is the 1052 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,560 Speaker 4: Ravens run defense, and it's been vulnerable, and especially when 1053 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,160 Speaker 4: Michael Pierce and Brandon Williams have been out and it 1054 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 4: looks like Pierce is going to be out for maybe 1055 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,840 Speaker 4: a couple of weeks now. The Ravens did credit Eric Tacosta. 1056 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:44,359 Speaker 4: He went out. He signed de Anthony Thomas last week 1057 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,640 Speaker 4: to improve the return game because Cyrus Jones just wasn't 1058 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,400 Speaker 4: getting it done. Emon Marshall also came off of ir 1059 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,920 Speaker 4: The Texans have been really, really good, really good running 1060 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,800 Speaker 4: the ball all year, very productive, and that's been the 1061 00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,120 Speaker 4: Ravens weak point. You can run on them especially, and 1062 00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 4: Pierce Pearce went out last week and the Bengals had 1063 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 4: some success running the ball, So it doesn't look like 1064 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 4: Pierce will play. Pecko's going to come in. I don't 1065 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,040 Speaker 4: know how much he has left in the tank. He's 1066 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 4: going to be in a new scheme, insert them, you know, 1067 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,840 Speaker 4: first week, So maybe the Texans can have some success 1068 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:14,800 Speaker 4: running the ball. It's going to be up to Watson 1069 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 4: to make some plays. I think the bye week does 1070 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,800 Speaker 4: help a lot here preparing for the Ravens. The Ravens 1071 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 4: are really good and it's hard to play him for 1072 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 4: the first time. I think the Ravens find a way 1073 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 4: to win. The line looks about right. Should be the 1074 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:26,360 Speaker 4: best game of the weekend. 1075 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,360 Speaker 2: Probably wean the Texans get in the points. Deshaun Watson 1076 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 2: small sample, but eight and three against the spread as 1077 00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,280 Speaker 2: a road underdog, and Lamar Jackson just three and seven 1078 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,439 Speaker 2: against the spread as a favorite. So the Ravens tend 1079 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 2: to get more benefit of the doubt in these spots. 1080 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,880 Speaker 2: Could be a close game. And one thing the Texans 1081 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,440 Speaker 2: do have working for him too is they practice against 1082 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,920 Speaker 2: the Lamar Jackson like quarterback, you know, so even though 1083 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 2: they haven't faced him, they do practice against Watson, so 1084 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 2: that that could help a little. But Lamar is just 1085 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,839 Speaker 2: so good that I think it's more of a good 1086 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,200 Speaker 2: football game than one. You have a strong take that 1087 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 2: one of these teams is going to cover or blow 1088 00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 2: the other one out. Speaking of blowouts, the Cincinnati Bengals 1089 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 2: got blown out last week by the Baltimore Ravens in 1090 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 2: quarterback Ryan Finley, the rookie his first start. Now, Cincinnati 1091 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,200 Speaker 2: travels to Oakland. They're ten and a half point underdogs. 1092 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,400 Speaker 2: The total up at forty eight and a half and 1093 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 2: seventy percent of the bets on Oakland, fifty eight percent 1094 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,719 Speaker 2: of the money on Oakland. Seventy one percent of the 1095 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 2: public also on the under here, but fifty four percent 1096 00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:31,440 Speaker 2: of the money is on the over. Not a very 1097 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 2: good defense for either team really, So any weans here 1098 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 2: and what do you think about all these points that 1099 00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 2: Raiders are laying here? 1100 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:42,080 Speaker 4: Look, Brian Finley looked okay at times, you know, for 1101 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,920 Speaker 4: his first start against a good defense, and he'll now 1102 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:46,800 Speaker 4: be facing the defense is not going to get pressure 1103 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,720 Speaker 4: and doesn't have corners like the radio. Those are positives. 1104 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,800 Speaker 4: These are the two worst defenses in the NFL in 1105 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:54,239 Speaker 4: terms of yards per play. The Bengals allowed six point 1106 00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,719 Speaker 4: eight yards per play. It's dead last. Oakland's at six 1107 00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,480 Speaker 4: point three, second to last. But let's give credit too. 1108 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,239 Speaker 4: And there's some wearing things for the Bengals here. Their 1109 00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,839 Speaker 4: linebackers and their safety stink. And that's really what the 1110 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:06,839 Speaker 4: you know, the Ravens took advantage of the Bengals rank 1111 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:10,040 Speaker 4: thirty first in the NFL, and covering tight ends and 1112 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,439 Speaker 4: running backs, they're giving up five point two yards per rush. 1113 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,240 Speaker 4: That's tied with the Panthers for the worst the NFL. 1114 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,400 Speaker 4: So you know, you look and you say, okay, Jacobs 1115 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:20,680 Speaker 4: and Waller should have big days, you know. And let's 1116 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 4: give credit to Derek Carr, by the way, and that 1117 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,839 Speaker 4: offensive line, because Derek Carr is playing really well. There 1118 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,520 Speaker 4: have been thirty quarterbacks that have had at least two 1119 00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 4: hundred dropbacks this year. Derek Carr has had the fewest 1120 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 4: under pressure about twenty six percent. So the offensive line 1121 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,640 Speaker 4: playing well. He also gets the ball quick and they 1122 00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:36,800 Speaker 4: throw a lot of short passes. But when he's under pressure, 1123 00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 4: he leads all quarterbacks in completion percentage sixty two and 1124 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,759 Speaker 4: a half percent, adjusted completion percentage eighty two and a 1125 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,439 Speaker 4: half percent, and passer rating one hundred and nine point 1126 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,240 Speaker 4: two under pressure. The only one in the same ballpark 1127 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,319 Speaker 4: is Russell Wilson, who's like just below them, so he's 1128 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 4: playing really well. I actually lean the Bengals here and 1129 00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:55,719 Speaker 4: then the over. I say the over every week. And 1130 00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,920 Speaker 4: in the Raiders they don't play any defense, and they 1131 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 4: in their offense is good. Their offense is really good good, 1132 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,520 Speaker 4: and the Bengals don't match up well. But the Raiders 1133 00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 4: just don't really defend. It's a lot of points in 1134 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 4: the NFL when your defense stinks and the Raiders defense stinks. 1135 00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,720 Speaker 4: They're okay against the run, but they can't cover anybody 1136 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 4: and they get no pressure whatsoever. The Bengals can have 1137 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 4: some success a lot of little depend I mean, aj 1138 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,239 Speaker 4: John Ross came off of IR he can't play this week. 1139 00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,160 Speaker 4: If you see that on the bottom line, he's not 1140 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,480 Speaker 4: eligible to return. He's just clear to practice. Aj Green 1141 00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,359 Speaker 4: will help a lot. I don't even know if he's 1142 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 4: gonna play this year, but I think the Bengals can 1143 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,160 Speaker 4: have some success moving the ball because everyone really does 1144 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,719 Speaker 4: against the Raiders. So as of right now, I'm leaning 1145 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 4: towards the Bengals and the over. I say it every week. 1146 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:35,759 Speaker 4: I think the Raiders are six and one to the 1147 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 4: over in the last seven. The only one that didn't 1148 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,680 Speaker 4: go over was the Texans game, which finished twenty seven 1149 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 4: to twenty four when under by a half point against 1150 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,040 Speaker 4: the close, some of you hit the over. So really, 1151 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:46,319 Speaker 4: depending on the line, the over could have hitten seven 1152 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:47,480 Speaker 4: straight games for the Raiders. 1153 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. And I think there's a good example of when 1154 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,799 Speaker 2: you're looking at these lines and you know, starting to 1155 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 2: think about these the game you see, you can kind 1156 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,359 Speaker 2: of see how the spread the total relate in some 1157 00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:00,719 Speaker 2: situations if you you ask yourself, Okayinnati, if I think 1158 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,040 Speaker 2: Cincinnati may be a little bit undervalued here, you know, 1159 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:04,759 Speaker 2: if this spread is ten and a half, what would 1160 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 2: make the spread closer? Would it be more defense in 1161 00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,560 Speaker 2: Cincinnati in Oakland not kind of being able to build 1162 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,319 Speaker 2: that big of a leader. Would it be you know, 1163 00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,479 Speaker 2: Cincinnati playing better on offense because they're undervalue to the market, 1164 00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:17,439 Speaker 2: and I think unlike the Saints game, where I think, 1165 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 2: you know, they could struggle, you know, against that bus 1166 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,280 Speaker 2: defense just because of howe they've been against running backs, 1167 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 2: this game is kind of the opposite where the Bengals 1168 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,759 Speaker 2: are probably undervalued and if if the spread were to 1169 00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,719 Speaker 2: get closer, I think you would you would think the 1170 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,439 Speaker 2: total would would go over because the Bengals would play better. 1171 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 2: So that's that's something that I've been asking in the past. 1172 00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 2: So that's one way to look at it. Let's get 1173 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,880 Speaker 2: to the last game. Speaking of total, this one is 1174 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:41,760 Speaker 2: a pretty well scoring projected one Denver at Minnesota Vikings 1175 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 2: ten and a half point favorites, getting sixty three percent 1176 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,520 Speaker 2: of the bets but only twenty eight percent of the money, 1177 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,200 Speaker 2: and then the total at forty and a half with 1178 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,480 Speaker 2: the public on the over at a seventy four percent clip. 1179 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,920 Speaker 2: But another one where the only thirty three percent of 1180 00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:57,640 Speaker 2: the money. So it looks like the sharps are on 1181 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 2: the Broncos and the under in this one. 1182 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would lean towards the Broncos. I mean, look, 1183 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,160 Speaker 4: I've said it before. Brandon Allen coming in. How many 1184 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,480 Speaker 4: Allen's are there in the NFL. Brandon Allen coming in 1185 00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:10,960 Speaker 4: was maybe an upgrade over Flaco. Flacco's done and he 1186 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 4: can't move and he just has looked off all year, 1187 00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 4: so I didn't even think it was that big of 1188 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,360 Speaker 4: a downgrade. It's a lot of points to lay for 1189 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 4: the Vikings, who when they get a lead, they just 1190 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,920 Speaker 4: want to sit on the ball and run it and 1191 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,040 Speaker 4: that's it. And they have a buy coming up. So 1192 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,480 Speaker 4: a lot of it will depend on the feeling plays. 1193 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:30,480 Speaker 4: And by the way, Kirk Cousins has been awesome this year, 1194 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:31,920 Speaker 4: I have to throw that out there. You had some 1195 00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:34,200 Speaker 4: early struggles, but I'm leaning towards you know, it's the 1196 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,360 Speaker 4: Broncos dealing with the buy on deck. They might just 1197 00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 4: rest them and get them healthy. 1198 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:40,759 Speaker 2: That seems to be expectation. 1199 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 4: That should be their main concern anyway, for their whole team. 1200 00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:45,839 Speaker 4: And that's what the Vikings do. As soon as they 1201 00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:47,359 Speaker 4: get a lead and they know they're gonna win a game, 1202 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,920 Speaker 4: they're just gonna They're just gonna pound the ball and 1203 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 4: they're just gonna run it, run it, run it, and 1204 00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,560 Speaker 4: then rely on their defense. I think there's a little 1205 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,359 Speaker 4: bit of a value on the Broncos here coming off 1206 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,239 Speaker 4: of a bye in what should be a low scoring game. 1207 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:00,960 Speaker 4: I mean, if you look at the total right now, 1208 00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,840 Speaker 4: the total is down to forty outside open thirty and 1209 00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 4: a half took to forty ish and which makes ten 1210 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,840 Speaker 4: and a half points pretty intriguing. And you know, the 1211 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,040 Speaker 4: Broncos didn't look like a complete dumpster fire against the 1212 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,719 Speaker 4: Browns at home. With Brandon Allen's first start, they now 1213 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,759 Speaker 4: have had a buy to get a more acclimated with 1214 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,719 Speaker 4: the offense. And I'll say it again, the defense is 1215 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 4: playing really well. I'm always going to look at the 1216 00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:24,160 Speaker 4: team catching ten and a half. 1217 00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:27,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the only thing, you know, Mike Zimmer 1218 00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:30,319 Speaker 2: tends to to do well in these spots covering. But 1219 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,440 Speaker 2: I think I like the Vikings more last week, you know, 1220 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,040 Speaker 2: getting points going on the road against the Cowboys. Now 1221 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 2: is the game where I mean they could easily win it, 1222 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,719 Speaker 2: like nine to three or something like that. So more 1223 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,239 Speaker 2: of a stayway for me. Let's wrap things up with 1224 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 2: our Survivor Pool Pick of the week. 1225 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:55,240 Speaker 1: One pick one chance to advance Survivor Stuck. 1226 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:59,919 Speaker 2: I somehow, somehow survived last week because we talked about 1227 00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 2: with the Colts and I said, I don't know. 1228 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:05,040 Speaker 4: I don't know, Man, I in't done twice. And you're 1229 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:05,600 Speaker 4: still alive. 1230 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:07,800 Speaker 2: You know. If you went with the Coats last week, 1231 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,160 Speaker 2: it was a tough week for you, but hopefully you 1232 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,640 Speaker 2: are still alive. You know. I'll continue to give these 1233 00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,240 Speaker 2: picks each week until I bow out, But I already 1234 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:23,800 Speaker 2: have used the Seahawks, Texans, the Cowboys, the Chargers, Eagles, Pats, Bills, Bikes, Niners, 1235 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:28,399 Speaker 2: and the Baltimore Ravens. So now you know it's getting 1236 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,279 Speaker 2: a little tighter out there, you know, this week with 1237 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,840 Speaker 2: all of those teams being used already, I think you 1238 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:36,719 Speaker 2: got to go with the Oakland Raiders here. If you 1239 00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:39,400 Speaker 2: look at their points spread, they're favored by ten and 1240 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,759 Speaker 2: a half, one of the biggest of the week. I 1241 00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:44,200 Speaker 2: think there's some uncertainty with the forty nine Ers. You know, 1242 00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 2: George Kittle pretty sure he's probably going to miss the game. 1243 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:51,360 Speaker 2: Emanuel Sanders status in doubt as well. So this Raider team, 1244 00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:53,839 Speaker 2: it's an average team going against a really bad team. 1245 00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:56,279 Speaker 2: If they get into trouble, they should be able to 1246 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,279 Speaker 2: outscore the Bengals, even if their defense plays poorly, so 1247 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 2: with the Raiders. This is one of those ugly weeks 1248 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,680 Speaker 2: in Survivor. But going with the open Raiders stuck. Any thoughts? 1249 00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 2: Who would you pick if you couldn't get the Raiders, 1250 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:07,479 Speaker 2: which sounds crazy. 1251 00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,879 Speaker 4: I think this week you probably have to go with 1252 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,160 Speaker 4: the Vikings. Yeah, I think the Vikings, and you know, 1253 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:16,759 Speaker 4: or if you haven't used the Rams, I think the 1254 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:18,680 Speaker 4: Rams are a good option as well. 1255 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,120 Speaker 2: Even the Rams scared me, to be honest, I mean 1256 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:21,560 Speaker 2: they do. 1257 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,240 Speaker 4: It's a tough week. It really depends on who you've used, 1258 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,120 Speaker 4: and you know, you want to project, you know, for 1259 00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,399 Speaker 4: like so for next week. If you look at next week, 1260 00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,440 Speaker 4: like the Rams, the RAMS schedule down the stretch. If 1261 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 4: you haven't used them, you know, because you're going to 1262 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,000 Speaker 4: start running out of teams to use. They have the 1263 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,799 Speaker 4: Ravens next week. Then they're at the Cardinals, and they're 1264 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,200 Speaker 4: home against the Seahawks, and they're at Dallas and they're 1265 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,839 Speaker 4: at Sant fran So you know, week seventeen, they're home 1266 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,279 Speaker 4: against Arizona. But you don't want to worry about Week 1267 00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 4: seventeen yet, So did the Rams if you haven't used 1268 00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:55,919 Speaker 4: them yet, This is probably the only opportunity, you would 1269 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 4: want to use them all years. That's one of the 1270 00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:57,960 Speaker 4: cases for them. 1271 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. I think Raiders kind of 1272 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,520 Speaker 2: a similar situation. You could probably make a case for 1273 00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:06,799 Speaker 2: them against the Jets, but that's in New York West coast, 1274 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,000 Speaker 2: traveling on the East coast, frisky Jets team that kind 1275 00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,600 Speaker 2: of wins when you least expected. So yeah, going with 1276 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,120 Speaker 2: the Raiders this week against the Bengals. And this does 1277 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:17,960 Speaker 2: it for another episode of the Action Network podcast NFL 1278 00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,960 Speaker 2: Betting Edition.
