WEBVTT - Benny vs The Penny, Round 6 0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:10.080 Welcome. Players, You're welcome. It's time now penny the penny. 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:13.840 We know it is dear to your heart, but it 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:17.759 is now week six in the NFL, and we have 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:24.000 all your Sunday and Monday NFL handicapping information. It is 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.720 the fifth Hour with Ben Maller and David Gascon. But 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:31.400 this is our hard oh gambling podcast. You have come 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.680 to the right place if you're looking for some knowledge 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.000 on these games. The way this works, all right, let 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.760 me tell you something. The way we do this, okay, 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.320 I will give you my opinion on all these games. 0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.520 You should not bet on every one of these games 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.760 the way I would like you to consume this podcast. 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:52.440 If you're a gambler, all right, do your own homework. 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:57.840 But if your research and my research lines up, then 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.520 that is food for thought. And I believe you should 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:04.400 go forward with a wager, all right, But don't just 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:08.560 be a pushover and whatever mil or like someone a buttter. No, no, no, 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.480 no no. I'm giving you my educated opinion on what's 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.160 gonna happen. I spent way too much times one of 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.480 my hobbies here to look at the numbers and crunch 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.520 the numbers. But as my friend Dick Stockton's famously said 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:22.640 years ago, I say friend, he was a barely a friend. 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.959 But Dick Stockton told me said, listen, stats tell you 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.520 what has happened. They don't tell you what's gonna happen, 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.240 which is true, which is true. So you can have 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:35.000 all the numbers in front of you, but you know, bizarre, 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:37.920 crazy crap seems to happen. Uh and all that. But 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.520 we will not be talking about the Bills, Colts, Bears, 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.360 and Raiders. All of them are on the bye week 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.559 this week, so they are all not playing. And Gascon, 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.680 I would like you to talk slowly and loudly. I 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.680 am as hot as fire right now. I am. I mean, 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.320 I thought I want to bribe here, but this is 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.720 a wake up call. I mean for people that that 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.120 are are shipping on me. I have put the pedal 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.960 to the medal so far this season, and I have 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.560 put up a lot of cush, a lot of cush. 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.560 And the nice thing is is that your listeners are 0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:16.639 always asking about you, your performances, and they also want 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.040 to know about the penny, and the penny last week 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:25.000 finished a blazing eleven and three. Now nobody cares about 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.160 the pin nobody cares about. I am destroying the penny 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:32.520 of this work tool. And twenty six I have a 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:38.079 six six seven against the spread documented record. That's pretty good. 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.840 I know you cheer for the penny because you're an idiot. Well, 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:43.760 but you got screwed out of one game that was 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:48.280 your game, the Thursday night one from that was a 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:50.880 bad beat man that that killed me. Man, I had 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:55.480 that game and they But to be fair, I have 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:57.640 won a couple of games that I had no business winning. 0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:00.760 So that remember the Redskins scored up back door touchdown 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.760 against the Philly in Week one that came out of 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:07.520 left field, and uh so they covered the cover the number. 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:10.079 All right, well, let's get to it here. I guess Joan, 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:13.440 are you gonna be this your Is this your best 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:18.639 start ever since versus the penning started in your career? Yeah, 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.000 you know, it's right up there. I don't that's hard. 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.800 My memory is kind of I try to forget about 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:27.480 a lot of this stuff. But yeah, I mean, I 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.320 would think it's hard to push back against that that. 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.560 I've had some really shitty years. So I've been like 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.560 five weeks in. I'm like I'm under five, you know, 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.840 I'm just five hundred to be at this point and 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.320 have a record where you you are, you know, twenty 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:48.000 six games above five hundred against the spread, that is, Yeah, 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.240 it's gotta be. I can't remember a year where I 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.680 was that far up at this particular point. Anyway, al Right, 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:56.800 first up, Carolina at Tampa Bay. It's in London. This 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.360 is an NFL Network game. It starts at nine in 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.320 the East, but for those of us that live in 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.840 the West, six thirty in the morning, which means I 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.240 will not be watching a second of this game. Uh. 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.520 The NFL care so little about this. They're having Rich 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.040 Eyes and Kurt Warner and Steve Mariushi called the game 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.120 with Michael Irvin. Uh. It's on on NFL Network at 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:19.840 six in the morning. The game open to pick him now. 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.480 Carolina is a two and a half, so it's essentially 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.680 a neutral site game. The big games being played at 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:29.760 Tottenham's Hotspur Stadium in London, if that does anything for you. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.560 The weather calls for rain showers and sixty two degrees 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:38.119 fahrenheit at kickoff. I'm gonna take Carolina in this game, 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:43.360 and I'll tell you why. Number one after this signature 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:47.440 win over the Rams, the Buccaneers. They came tumbling back 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.000 to reality the last week against the New Orleans says. 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:55.080 Now they are in another divisional Donnie Brook against Carolina. 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:59.000 Both these teams will be on vacation next week after 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.160 they come back from and so they're both looking at 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.240 a bye week, all right. This will be a rematch 0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.279 of week two. And Tampa Bay won that game. It 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:11.360 was ugly. That was a Cam Newton special fourteen and 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.400 if you watch that game, Cam Newton was the reason 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:19.320 the Panthers lost. So you love Carolina in a revenge spot. 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:23.160 And now they have a legit quarterback as well, which 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.720 is another reason to give you the daily double here 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:29.479 to like the Carolina Panthers. And after losing the first 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.960 two games that year with Cam Newton, Carolina now has 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.000 reeled off three straight victories, all of them under the 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:39.600 tutelage of Kyle Allen at quarterback. And he is just 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:44.520 the third Carolina quarterback all time to win each of 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.719 his first three NFL starts. The other ones to do it, 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.160 you know who they are. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna 0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:53.240 say Carrie Collins and Jake Delone what half right? Jake 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:57.200 delm is correct. The other one is now a blowhard 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.600 on l A radio. Rodney Pete, how about that. That's 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.280 a long time ago. Man. They're gonna stay like Steve 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.200 Burline or something like that. Well, we could throw him 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:09.440 in there, but this Kyle Allen, he's he's not just 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.720 along for the ride here. He's not sitting in the 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.160 back of the bus. He's in the front of the bus. 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.960 Allen is fourth in the entire NFL and quarterback rating. 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.480 And I expect this to be a close game. Most 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.960 divisional games are closed. But the key here's I'm gonna 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.120 put my money on Christian McCaffrey and defected. Up until 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.600 this point, Kyle Allen, knock on wood has not thrown interception. 0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.760 Panthers will pull away late Panthers thirty four bucks, twenty four. 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.240 I don't know what the hell you just knocked on, 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.200 but it wasn't would anyways, Penny's going with the Compenny 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.720 is coming with the Panthers as well. I can't afford 0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:49.240 real woods, so it's a fake. Alright, alright, next up, 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.080 don't judge me. Be sure to catch live editions of 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.120 The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.960 pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio. 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:05.800 Don't judge all right? Cincinnati oh in five at Baltimore 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.480 three and two. It is a CBS game with Kevin 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:13.440 Harlan and Rich Gannon. The Ravens opened up an eight 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.400 and a half point favorite. They are favorite by eleven 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.040 and a half. It's gonna be partly sunny, sixties six 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.080 degrees at kickoff at m n T Bank Stadium in 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.840 Donald Trump's favorite city of Baltimore, Maryland. I am gonna 0:07:25.880 --> 0:07:30.840 take Cincinnati, and I don't love doing this, but you 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.560 have to do it. I have to stick to my 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.400 principles as a gambler, and so I'm gonna take Cincinnati. 0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.720 But first of all, it is always risky to bet 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:40.920 on bad teams. However, if you do this a lot, 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.800 there is value. These are the orphans of the NFL. 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:45.680 You want to be on the side of the book. 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.800 You No one's gonna bet on the Cincinnati Bengals. Why 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.920 would you? But this is actually a good spot for 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.680 the Bankers. Why the Ravens are coming off an overtime 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:56.280 game against an arch rival in their in their division, Pittsburgh, 0:07:56.720 --> 0:08:00.200 and they have to take on the Seahawks next week. 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:04.520 So this is what's known as yep sandwich game, right 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:06.320 this is now it's a divisional game, but it's still 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.800 a sandwich game because you had a key divisional game 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.760 with Pittsburgh, hard fought overtime game. You got a showcase 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:15.400 game against the Seahawks next week, and nobody bets on 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.800 the Bengals. Nobody gets up for Cincinnati. The Bengals and 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.320 Ravens have actually split forty six meetings all time, and 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:27.320 the Bengals, as miserable as they've been, have one two 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.800 of the last three meetings, eight to the last eleven. 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:31.880 I know it's a different Bengal team. They're they're terrible. 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:35.599 I get that, but I'm on the side of Cincinnati. 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.120 And and secondly, the other thing here's quietly Lamar Jackson 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:42.160 has regressed. All that hoop law hand him the m 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:45.920 v P after two weeks, that's calmed down. Last two weeks, 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:49.240 Lamar Jackson's the twenty seventh ranked quarterback in the NFL. 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.840 The last four weeks, Lamar Jackson's the twenty ninth ranked 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:56.000 quarterback in the NFL. So life is just really that 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.040 first game against Miami that he was lighting the world 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.240 on fire. Uh, and and he's come back crashing down 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:07.120 to earth. And so now now he obviously has the 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.000 running ability and the Bengals are a sloppy tackling team, 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:11.920 which does give me a little plause here, like Lamar 0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.360 Jackson could run for a hundred and seventy yards in 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:20.280 this game and and kill you. Um but Cincinnati, Uh, 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:23.720 they have been, next to the Dolphins, the worst team 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.559 in football because they have only led for a little 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.800 over fifty one minutes of game time, second lowest in 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.200 the NFL. You know how many minutes the Miami Dolphins 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:35.040 have had the lead. I'm gonna say four minutes, close 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.280 less than four minutes, three minutes and forty seven seconds 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:43.240 heading into Week six. That is that is craziness. That 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.160 assuming that the Bengals actually put in an honest effort 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.760 guest gun, which is a big assumption, right, I mean 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.839 it's a big assumption. Uh. You know, I would think 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.840 that Andy Dalton he's fine in non prime time games. 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:02.760 And the Ravens past defense is not as good as advertised, 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:07.160 So it behooves one to bet on the Bengals. You 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.079 gotta cover your eyes here, close your mouth. The whole 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:14.840 thing and take the Bengals to cover Ravens twenty four 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:21.040 Bengals seventeen. I mean it's like you're drinking pepto every 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.560 time you take a bad team. Penny's going with the Ravens. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.000 You've done this the last three or four weeks. You 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:30.000 started off with Miami and Cincinnati in weeks one and two. Well, 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.959 Cincinnati did cover a week one dummy. They covered against Seattle. 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.280 That wasn't a bad bet, okay. And the Redskins, yeah, 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.719 I have one money with the Redskins Dolphins, Dolphins, No, 0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:46.640 but the Redskins against Philly they cut also dangerous. Such 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.280 a hater, man, I just do such a hitter. Why 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.120 can't why why can't I get a Bennett to work 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:56.520 with me, a real cheerleader. That could be arranged. We 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:58.840 got plenty of listeners on the streets. Be sure to 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.840 catch live editions The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:06.640 am Eastern Pacific. Wow. Alright, next up Seattle at Cleveland 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:11.559 and it is on Fox, and we've got Chris Myers, 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:15.200 my former colleague, our former colleague with Darryl Moose Johnston. There. 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.360 The Browns opened up a two and a half point favorite. 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:21.599 Then everyone saw them play Monday night football and to 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.840 Seattle is now a two point favorite. Last I saw here, 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:31.200 And this is at First Energy Stadium in Cleveland, not 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:37.280 corporately named at all. Partly sunny and a mild tepid degrees. 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.360 That is beautiful weather for Cleveland. Just wait another month 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.760 or two and see what the weather is like. But 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.400 the pick is in, and I am gonna take. Oh boy, 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.400 you're gonna You're gonna give me ship for this. I'm 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.120 taking the Cleveland Browns. I'm taking the Cleveland Browns here. Uh. 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.439 And I'll tell you why. Russell Wilson has been wonderful, 0:11:55.960 --> 0:12:01.920 but more importantly, he's been lucky, and luck doesn't normally continue. Uh. 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.480 The Seattle has stolen two games by Mike can I 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.400 already mentioned the Bengal game Week one, where Cincinnati had 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.640 over two hundred more yards of offense and and they 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:15.400 somehow managed to lose that at the end. And then 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.959 you've got the Legatron missed field goal. In other words, 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.960 imagine what the public perception of Seattle would be if, 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:26.880 instead of having that shining for and one record, the 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.760 Seahawks had a two and three record, which is what 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.280 their record would be had those games gone the other way. 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:33.760 And I don't know if some butts were candy and 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.959 nuts at bet Christmas every day, but I mean you 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.440 gotta factor that in here, and this would be a 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.760 tremendous value play. And the way I look at that, 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:45.880 those are essentially losses for me, for for Seattle in 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:50.079 those two games here. So the public is also loading 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.400 up in Seattle. You love to bet against the public 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.079 when they load up on these teams. Now, part the 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.200 Baker Mayfield is the bottom of the barrel, whatever is 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.720 behind your toilet. Uh he is. That is how he 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.000 is doing. He's not even a run of the mill quarterback, 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:09.040 all right. He is pouring bleach down his throat every 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.199 time he plays here, and in most of these games 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.640 he has a dreadful sixty eight point five pass a. 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:17.280 Ready to put that in perspective, only Luke Falk and 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:21.760 Josh Rosen have been worse from the Jets and Dolphins, respectively. 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.920 It really is a reached critical mass here for Mayfield. 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:31.000 The contrast this week is stunning. Russell Wilson has been 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:35.760 the top rated quarterback this season. The Browns they're coming 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:40.160 off a bye. Uh, They're They've also got the bye 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.720 week next week, I should say, so there is some 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:44.920 question about how focused they're getting. Sometimes, you know, the 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.280 day before school ends or a vacation, you're not. You're 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:49.880 just kind of going through the motions and all that. 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:53.680 But all that said, you bet on Cleveland in this 0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:58.280 spot because when the opposing team has little pass rush, 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.600 Baker Mayfield will do well. The Ravens had no pastures. 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.400 Now seele has got some big names on defense, but 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.199 they have not been a top notch team getting to 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:10.480 the quarterback. So a lot of chubble love love running 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:14.000 the ball for the Brownies here home field and all that, 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:18.840 and I will take Cleveland Browns. They'll win the game 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.480 out white in a surprise, a stunner and they say 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.880 the Browns are back. They'll finally throw the ball at 0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:29.320 Odell Beckham. Browns Seahawks twenty one bounce back looking for 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.840 their first home win of the season. Penny's also going 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.280 with the Browns. Uh, interesting, you were mocking me, and 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.640 then the penny agreed. Next a bad team, though they're 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.200 not a bad team like my Browns are a bad team. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.360 They are they're playing like I mean, did you see 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.520 the game against the forty. They got punched in the 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:48.240 face repeatedly. I mean like they look like the Bengals. 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:52.600 They don't want to play there. Ridiculous. What's your jokes anyway? 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.480 All right, moving on, Fox Sports Radio has the best 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.320 sports talk lineup in the nation.

You ready to get less trivial? Let's 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:12.320 get all right? Which quarterback leads the NFL with six 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:18.000 miscommunications with his receivers? So the most disconnect between the quarterback? Now, 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.560 this according to the advanced statistics of the NFL. So 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.000 I don't know if I believe this or not. How 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.320 do they judge when a miscommunication is But they say 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.520 this quarterback has had six. That is the most of 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:29.160 any one quarterback in the NFL. We'll give me the 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.040 answer coming up in a couple of minutes. Next up, 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.200 this is one of the showcase games this weekend for 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:39.080 me Houston three and two at Cansa City four and one. 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:43.840 It is on CBS with Iron Eagle and Dan Fouts. 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.880 The Chiefs opened up an eight and a half point favorite, 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.320 but the public is flocking to Houston. They can't bet 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:56.000 on them enough. Give me, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.360 gimme the Texans. They're all saying, Uh. The forecast at 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:05.080 Arrowhead sunny fifty six degrees at kickoff, with beautiful barbecue 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:09.640 smells in the air. Oh God, what a fine city. 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:11.720 I love Kansas City, one of my favorite cities. Just 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.840 the barbecue people are nice too. All right, a couple 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:16.720 of things. I'm gonna take the Chiefs here. I'll tell 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.920 you why. Now, who are the real Houston Texans? Betting 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:23.320 on the Texans is a crapshoot. Last game against the 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.440 morbid Falcons team, the Texans had ten plays of twenty 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.240 or more yards. That's the most in their franchisees history. 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:32.040 But a lot of that was a byproduct of Atlanta 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.080 not being interested, right, and it's just kind of going 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:40.520 through the motions and all that stuff, and that's sound 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:45.200 of their playbook there. The Falcons no defensive intensity and 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.920 Deshaun Watson had a record breaking day and we will 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:50.640 give him that, but he's like a human yo Yo, 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:56.760 this guy against the lingering and banged up Chiefs defense, 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.880 you figure he's gonna play well. But he struggled mightily 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:05.120 against Jacksonville, which does not have a top notch defense. 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:09.360 I also had problems against the Carolina Panthers. Deshaun Watson 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.280 did and in the second The big part of this 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.800 is we need Patrick Mahomes I do to snap out 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:19.200 of the funk. Mr Automatica has not been Mr Automatica 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.200 in recent games. She said, A couple of dots. You say, 0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.199 the law of averages. He was due for that, but 0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:27.639 against the Lions and the Colts, not nearly the super 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:32.280 nova the force multiplier that he has been so far. 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.600 And the excuse band is like, well, let's strike up 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.040 the band. He's hurt blah blah blah blah blah blah. 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.760 The last two weeks, Mahomes is the twenty night quarterback 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.639 in the NFL twenty that's your m v P. The 0:17:44.680 --> 0:17:46.439 Chiefs have a short week. This is the one thing 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.400 that scares me about Kansas City have a short week. 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.640 They played Denver in four days after this game, which 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.600 is not the ideal set up. Nevertheless, you like the 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:58.440 hungry team coming off a loss that's Kansas City suffering defeat, 0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.679 the agony of defeat for the first time. So like 0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:06.399 a boomerang, Kansas City comes back around. They ain't losing 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:09.359 back to back games. This will be a shootout. But 0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:14.000 I'm gonna take Patrick Mahomes and his weaponry Chiefs thirty 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.760 seven Texans thirty one plus Kids City. He's getting some 0:18:16.760 --> 0:18:20.639 guys back. You just hate DeShawn Watson, so the penny 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.280 is gone with the Texans that hates the right emotion. 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:27.240 You are disgusted with Deshaun Watson, like to point out 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:35.080 that he's over rated, over rated. I'm surprised you didn't 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.040 call it Deshaun Watson that stuff in the back of 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.919 your toilet. And that's how much disgusted and anks you 0:18:39.960 --> 0:18:42.040 have for a guy like him. I know you love him. 0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:46.120 You're a big jock snifference, you're a fanboy. I get 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:48.919 it tough to work with a guy like me. I 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.120 crucify everyone. You know how I am New Orleans four 0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:56.840 and one at Jacksonville. How about them Jags? You say, 0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:01.320 how about them Jags? Jacksonville losing last week to the 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:05.760 Carolina Panthers, so they have a two and three record 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:11.119 now after that performance the two and three record. I 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:13.679 am going to this game's on CBS. By the way, 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:17.400 Greg Gumbel and Trent Green. The Jags opened a one 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.879 and app point favorite their favorite by one. It's gonna 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:26.000 be mostly sunny and hot, eighty three degrees. That kick 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:29.960 off at t I A a bank field, whatever that is. 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:33.520 That's the place in Jacksonville with the pool. I'm gonna 0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.200 take the jackson I'm I'm I'm gonna take Gardner, Minshew 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:38.800 and and coming here now. First of all, listen, Teddy Bridgewater, 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:41.840 I look like a complete donkey. I did a monologue 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:43.960 about how the Saints were in trouble with Bridgewater and 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.440 on it. I really believe that he has been much 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.679 better than anticipating is three and all as a starter 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:52.520 this year, he's completed at least sevent of his passes 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.160 in a remedial passing game that the Ravens or the 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:59.680 Saints have been running. Here, he's the first Saints quarterback 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:02.240 and history to have three starts to win his first 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.480 three starts while completing sevent his passes. So this is 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.440 historic start. But it is a dumb down playbook. This 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.640 is very few exotic plays. Hey it's working right, stupid 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:15.399 it don't fix it. It's working. I get it, But 0:20:15.640 --> 0:20:17.480 is that gonna work this week? Just because it's worked 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.240 in past weeks doesn't mean it's gonna work this week. 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.240 It is a road game. Uh. Secondly, the Jags are 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:24.440 looking to bounce back. Remember we like the team's coming 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.440 off a loss to bounce back late loss to Carolina 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:32.399 last week. Now, one thing that has been reliable is 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:37.680 Gardner Minshew the second. He has a thousand and four 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:43.600 passing yards and no interceptions in his first four career starts. Now, 0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:45.000 to put that in perspective, we use this the other 0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:48.359 night on the radio show. But Gardner Minshew now joining 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:52.359 Dak Prescott as the only other quarterback in NFL history 0:20:52.800 --> 0:20:56.000 that at least a thousand yards and no interceptions in 0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.560 his first four career starts. He's been that good. Now, 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:01.800 I picked an off week from the Saints just a 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:05.439 feeling I have here. It's have a hunch, better bunch. 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:11.200 I love the unique Gardner Minshew Minshew mania and all 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:13.600 that with the guts and the guile. Very accurate. The 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:17.280 most important skill is accuracy for a quarterback. And I 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:19.920 also have Leonard for net as well, a top notch 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:21.719 running back at least have been the top running back 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:23.359 in the second half of games, mainly because of that 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:28.160 Bronco game. Uh. In the NFL, Jacksonville will win this game, 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:35.720 Jaguars twenty four Saints A penny likes the stash as well. 0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:42.359 Go with the Jags, all right? Next up Philadelphia Philly? 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:47.280 At who uh that would be? They would be the Minnesotavice. Actually, 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:49.200 before we get that, have I paid off the I 0:21:49.200 --> 0:21:51.880 don't think I've paid off these. That's a bad job 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:54.680 by mean. All right, let's get trivial. Uh. So, the 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:57.520 question was which quarterback leads in the NFL with six 0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:01.080 misscommunications with his receivers? Go ahead again. At first I 0:22:01.119 --> 0:22:03.720 thought this question was based off of Deshaun Watson, But 0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:07.840 after further review, I'm gonna say it is Captain Kirk Cousins. 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:12.000 Not a bad guess. It's not DeShawn Watson. It's not 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.440 Kirk Cousins, Believe it or not. According to the advanced 0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:20.400 NFL statistics, it is Patty Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes of Kansas 0:22:20.440 --> 0:22:26.480 City has had six six misscommunications with his receivers and 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:31.080 followed by Andy Dalton and Marcus Mariota and even Aaron 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:33.760 Rodgers is on this list. Did you look at that 0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:37.239 stat based on on per game or was it just 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:40.240 a body of work. No, it's not it's not per game. 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:42.040 I believe it's told which see I agree with you. 0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:44.240 I looked at that. I said that seems pretty low. 0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:47.879 I think that everyone would have miscommunications more than six. 0:22:47.960 --> 0:22:51.119 You know, has Josh Rosen? You think Rosen would be 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:53.720 up there. He looks like he has no idea what 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:57.840 his doesn't look like he knows who his receivers are. 0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:00.560
