Speaker 1: m Ian. Thanks for popping on the show again. How

8
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: are you.

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 2: I'm doing well man, Thanks for having me.

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great to have you now. I do want

11
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: to ask because I know the last time you were on,

12
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: which was for the Early look aheadlines, you had mentioned

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: that you are betting every single NFL game this year.

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: I want to know how that's going for you.

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 2: So far, it's going way better than I ever could

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: have imagined. To be completely honest, I never would have

17
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: expected I got off to this heart of a star.

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: But I'm sixty three and thirty one for up twenty

19
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: nine point nine to two units. So oh, my best

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,919
Speaker 2: start I've ever had in any betting, you know, betting,

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: any sport ever. So it's definitely not going to keep up.

22
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna hit it close to seventy percent all season,

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: but I'll enjoy wild lasts.

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: All right, well, hopefully it doesn't end until after this week.

25
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: At least you can get out some good ad. Guys here,

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: are you just betting spreads, by the way, or are

27
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,119
Speaker 1: you betting totals or anything else?

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 2: Spreads? Totals and at least one money line underdog, well,

29
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: which I've actually done. I think I'm like eight and

30
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: one with my money line underdog picks, so that those

31
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: that helps quite a bit when you're hitting at that.

32
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: Rate with those, yeah, no doubt. All right, well, hopefully

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: you have a money line underdog for us today. But

00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: dropped right before, which should probably come out shortly after

59
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: you listen to this podcast. All right, before we get

60
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: into Ian's Unstoppable picks, I suppose let's very briefly recap

61
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,839
Speaker 1: last week. Our guest Benny Richardi went two and one.

62
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: He hit on the Bengals three and a half to

63
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: the Lions, and he hitting the Cowboys laying three and

64
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: a half to the Patriots, even though I'm going to

65
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: say that I still think that that was obviously the

66
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: wrong side and I was leaning the other way. He

67
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: did miss though, on the Chiefs and the Washington football

68
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: team over fifty four and a half. I also went

69
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: to in one another positive day, hitting on the Bengals

70
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: and Lions under forty seven and a half, the Vikings

71
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: laying one and a half to the Panthers. I did

72
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: miss on my favorite bet of the week, admittedly, which

73
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: was the Browns laying three to the Cardinals. I will

74
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: say that now puts me It is not quite an

75
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: Ian McMillan level, but it puts me at twelve and

76
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: four so far on this podcast, five consecutive winning weeks.

77
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: So we've got a lot of things going in our

78
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: favorite Ian. Let's hope that we can keep going. It

79
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: is a tougher slate obviously, with all the bull with

80
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: all the buys. Pardon me, but remember're going to be

81
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: using bettingpros dot Com lines. I'll note when there are

84
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Follow along in the leaderboard. Ian, I've talked enough, Go ahead,

85
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: what's your first pick of the week.

86
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: So my first pick of the week here? Does it

87
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: matter what we start with? Total reprea?

88
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,559
Speaker 1: Does it? You get to start with whatever you want?

89
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna give I'm gonna I'm gonna start out hot.

90
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: Then I'm gonna give out my most aggressive pick. I

91
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: would recommend most people probably take the spread here, take

92
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: the points. But I mentioned I've been doing well with

93
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 2: my money line underdog picks. I got a little bit

94
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: of a heat check this week. I'm tossing up a

95
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: tossing up a shot from mid court here from the logo.

96
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 2: Love this pick. Bengals plus two to twenty five against

97
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens. I'm taking them on the money line.

98
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 2: You can get them what plus six plus six and

99
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: a half right now? If you want to be a

100
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: little bit more conservative, and I would not blame you,

101
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: but first of all, I think this is a big

102
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 2: sell high spot on the Ravens. I mean, you know this,

103
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: betting on sports, especially the NFL, is a little bit

104
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: like kind of the stock market. You want to buy

105
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: low on some teams, at some point you want to

106
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 2: sell high on some other teams. I think this is

107
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: a big sell high spot on the Ravens. After that

108
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: big comeback two weeks ago against the Colts on Monday

109
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: Night Football, big win last week against the Chargers, who

110
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: everyone's been praising lately, but don't forget like a few

111
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: weeks ago they needed a sixty six aired field goal

112
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: to beat the Detroit Lions. So this team's not unbeatable.

113
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: And the Bengals have actually impressed me so far the season,

114
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: especially their defense second in the NFL and opponent yards

115
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 2: per play and seventh in opponent yards per carry, And

116
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: we know that's huge. If you want to beat the Ravens,

117
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 2: you have to be able to stop the run, and

118
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: the Bengals run defense has been pretty solid this year.

119
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 2: Ravens defense hasn't been as good as people expected, especially

120
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: in their secondary twenty first and opponent yards per past tempt.

121
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: I expect Joe Burrow to have a big day. So

122
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: my heat check game, my money line upset pick Bengals

123
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: plus two twenty fives.

124
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: The Ravens, well, I think, like I'm not gonna take

125
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: it with you Okay, I'm gonna let you be as

126
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: hot as impossilic to kiss this up now. You obviously

127
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: like the six and a half, as you mentioned, which

128
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: is where it is, by the way, consensus right now,

129
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: six and a half. I'm a little worried just about

130
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: how good the Ravens are at home. They're just this

131
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: absolutely dominant on the road, like obviously the odds wouldn't

132
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: be as good, of course, but I do think that

133
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: the Bengals are a much much better team than I

134
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: still think even the public gives them credit for their defense.

135
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: Has really surprised me with how well they've played. Burrow again,

136
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: I expected to struggle early on in the season because

137
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: I thought figured, you know, coming back from the injury,

138
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: both physically and mentally, he would be a little slow,

139
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: but he has been great. Jamar Chase has been elite

140
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: out there, and the Ravens do have holes. I think

141
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: I might be a little gun shy just because of

142
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: I was actually on the Chargers last week against them,

143
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: and they just absolutely destroyed them. So you realistically you

144
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: think the Bengals are gonna walk out of here winners.

145
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 2: I like Bengals plus six and a half. Obviously a

146
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 2: lot better if you just want to take a bet

147
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: that's gonna win. I think I Bengals and the points

148
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 2: is a great bet. But like I said, I've been

149
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: hitting my money line underdog picks this so far this year.

150
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: It's a heat check. It's a little bit like, yeah

151
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: what I am, But I mean divisional game as well.

152
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be closed. I think the Bengals

153
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: can win this. Also two weeks when the Bengals lost

154
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: to the Packers in overtime, I still walked away like

155
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: more impressed with the Bengals even though they lost than

156
00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 2: what I was before that game.

157
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: So a hundred and they obviously could have easily won

158
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: that game, of course, given all the field goal issues

159
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: and everything like that. But I do think that the

160
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: divisional game aspect of it does weigh certainly in your

161
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: favorite because every divisional game just scares the crap out

162
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: of you because you just have no idea. The teams

163
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: know each other well. Obviously, we know exactly what Baltimore

164
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: is going to do. It's really just about whether or

165
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: not they can start them. Okay, I'm going to take

166
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: a pick that I really I don't like taking those

167
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: type of pick okay, so feel free. I want to

168
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: know which side you're on. I'm taking a road favorite,

169
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: which is don't love it. It's the Panthers lanth three

170
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: to the Giants. For me, there are just a lot

171
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: of things working against the Giants in this game. First Off,

172
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: they're just generally speaking terrible at home own three this year,

173
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: nine and twenty six at Medlife since twenty seventeen. Nobody

174
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: is showing up to these games. The fans when they do,

175
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: they're pretty much just booing. So it's a road game

176
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: for Carolina because they're away from home, but it's not

177
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: exactly like they're walking into any sort of hostile environment. Second,

178
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: the Giants offensive line is really in terrible shape. They

179
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: actually played pretty well early on the season, better than

180
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: I expected them to play, but you saw what happened

181
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: against the Rams. A lot of that is Andrew Thomas,

182
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 1: who also was one of the key cogs and playing

183
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: better than I expected him to play, but he is

184
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: now out for this game. And on ir and again,

185
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: it's it's not just the quality of their alignment at

186
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: this point, it's the consistency in the fact that they're

187
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: constantly shuffling guys in and out because they're getting nicked

188
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: up and they're moving guys from one position to another.

189
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: It's really difficult to play with an offensive line, and

190
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: that's huge for someone like Daniel Jones, who's just much

191
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: worse when he is pressured. Fifty four percent completion percentage

192
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: when he's under pressure. And the Panthers, even on a

193
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: bad day, get pressure like their fourth and pressure. Right

194
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: they're one of the better teams there. So against this

195
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: offensive line with all, by the way, the injuries the

196
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: playmakers offensively, like I don't expect seko On Barkley, I

197
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: don't expect Darius Tony, and I don't expect Kenni Galladay

198
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: to play at this point. So they're really down a

199
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: lot of AMMO here on offense. So I think they're

200
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: going to struggle to score. And the Panthers, by the way,

201
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: have a good defense. I know they had the JC

202
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 1: Horn injury. Keith Taylor has subbed in pretty well, so

203
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: J Henderson is getting healthier. I don't think Stefan Gilmore

204
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be up for this game, but regardless, they

205
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: are playing pretty well defensively anyway, and offensively. I didn't

206
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: like the spot for them last week again I said

207
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: I took the Vikings Ian because of the pressure. That's

208
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: a big thing. I think with Sam Darnold, which I

209
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: know very well having watched him for years, that is

210
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: not where the Giants shine. The Giants do not get

211
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: a ton of pressure. So I think that's pretty good

212
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: as to what we're gonna see. And as well, I

213
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: think you heard them talk about the fact that they're

214
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball here a little more. Take some

215
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: pressure off Donald. That is good. The Giants are twenty

216
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: seventh in DVA against the run. This game just kind

217
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: of sets up well for me for the Panthers. They

218
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: need to win. They don't have to take chances to

219
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: get it. You gotta banged up Giants team in dis array.

220
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: So seventy percent ian Panthers laying three on the road

221
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: to the Giants, tell me what you're thinking.

222
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, to be honest, out of all the games this week,

223
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: the Giants Panthers game is the one game where, like

224
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 2: I wish I wasn't betting on every single NFL game,

225
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: because really pass on this game. I think this is

226
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: the toughest game, toughest game on the board this week

227
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 2: in my opinion, and any what concerns me is number one,

228
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: the injuries. But what concerns me with the Panthers when

229
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: you look at their stats compared to the first three

230
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: games compared to the last three games, just night and day. So, like,

231
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 2: what version, in my opinion, like, what version of the

232
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: Panthers team is for real? Are they more like the

233
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: team they played like in the first three weeks or

234
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: are they more like the team that we saw the

235
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: last three weeks. Anytime that there was a toss up game,

236
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: in my opinion, which I think this is, I end

237
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: up just taking the team that's getting the points. So

238
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 2: I am on the Giants. But like I said, I

239
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: think it's it's my least favorite bet of the week.

240
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: I cannot argue against someone who's on the Panthers. I

241
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: went back and forth for a while trying to decide

242
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: who to bet on in this game. But it's tough.

243
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: But I mean, you made a couple of really good points.

244
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 2: Giants eight twenty one and one against the spread their

245
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: last thirty home games, We're just terrible, terrible, terrible. Daniel

246
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones is terrible at home compared to on the road,

247
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: So those things are certainly going in the Panthers favor.

248
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: So I am on the Giants, but I will not

249
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: I will not argue too much against the Panthers pick.

250
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: So what's funny is that I think that your point

251
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: of like, well, which Panthers team are we going to see?

252
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see the version of the

253
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 1: Panthers team that plays the crappy opponent, which is what

254
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: we saw in the first three games. Now that the

255
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: Saints weren't terrible, but the Saints aren't that good or

256
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: anything like that. The Jets in Houston versus what you

257
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: see in the next three games, which is Dallas Philadelphia,

258
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: which their defense played fine. By the way, they easily

259
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,079
Speaker 1: could have won that game. But the Philadelphia defense is

260
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: much stronger, and we'll talk about that maybe in a

261
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: little bit. And I think people give them credit for

262
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: and then Minnesota to me honestly, offensively, I think this

263
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: is a game first of all, they have to win

264
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: because they've got to get back on track number one.

265
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: And I think the Giants them I think sometimes like

266
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't have a model. I admit, like I don't

267
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: have a model that I plug in and I come

268
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: up with the appropriate spread. I know a lot of

269
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, professional gamblerss and everything like that. But I

270
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: think this is just a spot right now where there

271
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: are some things of regardless of sort of how it

272
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: might look on the service level, you just dig deep

273
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: into this Giants team. They look broken right now, and

274
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: whether it's the constant injuries or whatever it is, I mean,

275
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: they're just absolutely devastated at this point. I don't think

276
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: they really have at this point that the mental you know,

277
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: I almost say mental wherewithal but just where they are

278
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: right now to be able to come in here and

279
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: put it against the team that is desperate for a win.

280
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: And again, I think the fact that they're going to

281
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: be able to be Panthers, to be able to take

282
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: such like a non risky game, essentially a safe game

283
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: plan here, I think leads of their favorite But that's fine.

284
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: You don't even want to bet it. You did have

285
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: to bet it, and you bet against me. So this

286
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: is where the irresistible force meets the immovable object with

287
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: this one. All right, get to your next game? What

288
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: do you want?

289
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: All right? So I'll go I'll go my total, my

290
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 2: favorite total for the week here and I'm gonna go

291
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 2: Jets Patriots under forty two and a half is what

292
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: I got to that I think this is just a spot.

293
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 2: You can't overthink it. They already played once this season.

294
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: I took the under in that game and finished with

295
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: a total of thirty one points. Score of that game.

296
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,559
Speaker 2: I mean, it's two bad offenses and two good defenses.

297
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 2: So yards per play Patriots are twenty third, Jets are

298
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 2: thirty first, red zone offense Patriots thirtieth, Jets twenty eighth,

299
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: points per game Patriots twenty fourth, Jets dead last. And

300
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: then the defensive side of those stats, Patriots thirteenth, fifth

301
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 2: and ninth, Jets ninth, second and eighteenth. Interesting fact, they're

302
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: about the Jets second and red zone defense so far

303
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 2: this NFL season, which I did not expect before looking

304
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 2: into those numbers. Yeah, and obviously red zone defense is huge.

305
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 2: If we're betting on an under, you want those drives

306
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: to end in field goals, not in touchdowns. So fifth

307
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 2: and second in red zone defense makes me quite a

308
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: bit more confident. Also, Bill Belichick has been one of

309
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 2: the most conservative coaches in the NFL so far the

310
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 2: season with his play calling. He's not taking a whole

311
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: lot of shots downfield, not going forward on fourth down,

312
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 2: basically whatsoever the Jets offense has has I apologize because

313
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: I know you're a jew. Non existing Yeah, I got

314
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: just non existing against decent defenses so far the season. So,

315
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: like I said first meeting in in thirty one points,

316
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: it's a bit of a low total forty two and

317
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 2: a half, which does scare me a little bit. Sure,

318
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: I think when you look at the numbers, I think

319
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: it's the only play you can make in this game.

320
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: Ah, that's the correct pick. And I would have taken

321
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: it as well if not for you, as I look

322
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: the way we've worked since the first game, where I

323
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: felt like I got the short end of the stick

324
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: because I didn't get Seawan's picks the first week pardon me,

325
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: where I didn't get Shawn's picks and events and he

326
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: picked my favorite game of the week, and I would

327
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: sort of like, all right, I'll scramble and pick another one.

328
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: I now get our guests picks in advance, just so

329
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: I can know exactly what they are. And this I

330
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: immediately emailed back Ian and I was like, Ah, that

331
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: was definitely a pick I was eyeing as well. Yes,

332
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: all the reasons that you said, I think this is

333
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: absolutely a game that is just going to lean heavily

334
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: towards the ender. It again, there are a lot of

335
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: these load totals, and I think better first of all, better'

336
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: is like overs anyway, like casual betters, because you want

337
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: to root for something then again something. And I think

338
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: these low totals generally scare betters off regardless. But I

339
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: really think there are a lot of teams that you

340
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: can go. I mean again, I picked the Broncos under

341
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: for the first like three or four weeks. I think

342
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: that's been a good spot generally speaking. I have it

343
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: as well tonight so people will know when they listen.

344
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: So I hope not not in the under. I've teased

345
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: the under up. Just overitess, Okay, I am going to

346
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: stick with your least favorite game. Because you went with

347
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: the over under, I will also go with an over under.

348
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: I will stick in this Panthers Giants game, which is

349
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: very funny to me because it's the game. You're like, man,

350
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: the one game out of the whole year that I

351
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: need to get away from is this game. And I'm like, sweet,

352
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: let me bet all my money on this game. And

353
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: it is so the total right now, the consensus total

354
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: at bettingpros dot com is forty three. There are some

355
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: forty three and a half's out there. It's actually forty

356
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: two and a half at my book DraftKings, but the

357
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: consensus line is forty three. That's where most books are,

358
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: and I am going the under, and it is basically

359
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: for all the reasons I explained before. I think the

360
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: Giants are going to really struggle to put up points here.

361
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: You know, whatever they are able to do, you know, defensively,

362
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that in the second. Offensively, it's just

363
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: very difficult to see. I think for this to go over,

364
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: you're going to need some sort of defensive score here

365
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: from the Panthers are something flukey, which again always the

366
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: worry when you have this high low of total and everything.

367
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: But I do think again with their offensive line injuries,

368
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: with how few playmakers they have, with how bad Daniel

369
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: Jones plays at home generally speaking, with how Baddie is

370
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: especially under pressure, it just really strikes me as a

371
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: game that they're not going to put up a lot

372
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: of points. And conversely, again this is not me buying

373
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: into Sam Darnold. They're buying into the Panthers' offense. What

374
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: This is buying into is Matt rule, understanding that they

375
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: have to win a game, and the way to do

376
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: that is to run the ball a ton against a

377
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: defense that struggles to stop the run. And when you

378
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: do that, when you run the ball, the clock keeps running.

379
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: They're in no hurry to really get here. So I

380
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: think this is another game where the game script sets

381
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: up two teams that are not going to put up

382
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: a ton of points. One of the teams that probably

383
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: will win is going to run the ball a ton,

384
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: especially when I think they are leading in this game,

385
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: as I expect them to win, and then they want

386
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: to run out the clock. To me, it screams under

387
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: as a low scoring game. So I imagine you are avoiding

388
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: this game entirely regardless of the over under. But I'm

389
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: gonna go under here for under forty three is the

390
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: official play for my second pick.

391
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was deciding between for this game. I was

392
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: deciding between the Giants or the under. So I agree

393
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: with you on the on the on the total play,

394
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: I would not be going over in this game whatsoever,

395
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 2: based on how these two teams have looked so far

396
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: this season. So yeah, I'm not playing the under. But

397
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 2: like I said, I was deciding between Giants and the

398
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: points in the under. I ended up going with the

399
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: Giants on this game.

400
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: But I like the pick, all right, I will accept that.

401
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: Then let's get to your third pick. Here is it

402
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: a spread? Did you go one, two three with each

403
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: the different one money line over under and then spread?

404
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 2: Yep? So yeah, my favorite, my favorite favorite on the spread.

405
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: So usually I like to avoid double digit spreads, but

406
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: this is one that I actually really like this week,

407
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 2: and it's the Bucks over the Bears. I go to

408
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 2: the twelve and a half and it's just a bad

409
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: stylistic matchup for the Bears offense and a fantastic style

410
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: listic matchup for the Bucks offense. So fifty two point

411
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 2: four percent of the offensive yards gained by the Bears

412
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: so far this season have come on the ground, which

413
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 2: is by far the most mount almost ten percent more

414
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: than any other team. So they get like the majority

415
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 2: of their yards come on the ground, and now they're

416
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: facing a Bucks defense that is one of the best

417
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: run defenses in the NFL, second in the NFL and

418
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: opponent yards per carry at three point four and first

419
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 2: in the NFL and opponent rushing yards per game, only

420
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: allowing fifty four point eight rushing yards per game. So

421
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 2: if they're limiting teams on the ground, I don't know

422
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 2: how the Bears are gonna be able to move the

423
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 2: ball against them. And then the opposite is true for

424
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay offense. Seventy nine point nine to seven

425
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: percent of the Bucks offensive yards come through the air.

426
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: That's the most in the NFL. And now they're facing

427
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: a Bears defense whose weakness is the secondary they rank

428
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 2: nineteenth in the NFL and opponent yards per pass attempt. So,

429
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 2: like I said, I don't love Benning double digit favorites

430
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 2: in the NFL, but this is one that I'm going

431
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 2: to back for sure because it's just styles make fights.

432
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: That's something that's something I kind of hold truth in

433
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: most sports, and I think this is just a terrible

434
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 2: stylistic matchup for the Bears.

435
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it is twelve and a half at the

436
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: consensus line. It is twelve. Oddly enough, at my book DraftKings,

437
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: I probably can't go there just because, like you, I

438
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: just despise the giant spreads. If I did have to

439
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: go one place, I think I would take the blocks.

440
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: And I was a little ambivalent on it early in

441
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: the year and early in the week. Pardon me, I

442
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: think really the issue is for me, You're right, they're

443
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: not going to be able to run the ball. By

444
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: the way, Khalil Herbert is also banged up. We don't

445
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: know whether or not Damian Williams is even coming off

446
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: the COVID list. So even if they wanted to run

447
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: the ball, who knows if they could. But you're going

448
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: to have to have Justin Fields open it up and

449
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: throw the ball here against a pretty decimated secondary that

450
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: can certainly be beaten. But do we trust Justin Fields

451
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: to be able to do that? Is the question. I mean,

452
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: when you can beat a team one way and the

453
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: person who's in charge of beating them that way has

454
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: not impressed the entire season, it is difficult to see

455
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 1: them covering this spread. Now we do. Antony Brown, I

456
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: think this practice again today, so we'll see whether or

457
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: not he plays. But again, the Bucks are off the

458
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: Mini bi right because you know, they played on Thursday,

459
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: so they have a little extra time to prepare. So

460
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: I think, like you, if I were in your position

461
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: I was forced to bet every single game, I would

462
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: take the Bucks. But it's a. I'm leery of the giant.

463
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: You know, there's so many giant spreads right now this

464
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: week are out of curiosity. We'll get there. Actually, we'll

465
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 1: get there later. So I want to know what you're

466
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: doing with all the other giant spreads. But I'm going

467
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: to take a Gamian. I feel confident you're on the

468
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: you have taken the other side of this, okay, so

469
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: we'll see about this one. I am going to take

470
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles getting three points from the Raiders.

471
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: Now.

472
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: When I looked at this on Monday and I opened

473
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: it up, I said, I'm pretty sure I'm going to

474
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: wind up taking the Raiders because it felt like the

475
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: right side. And then I dug into it a little bit,

476
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: and I think that the Eagles are not only going

477
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: to cover the spread, but if I had more intestinal fortitude,

478
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: I would take them on the money line because I

479
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: do think they wind up pulling this one out. I

480
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: cannot quit the Eagles. I have tried. I don't know

481
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: why I continue to back them, but I am going

482
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: to do it. But it's also sort of a cell

483
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: high spot for the Raiders. Right we had all these questions,

484
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: how are the Raiders gonna respond? After the whole John

485
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: Gruden thing, and they responded incredibly and it was one

486
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: of two ways it can go, and the way it

487
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: went was, Okay, we've got this giant weight lifted off

488
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: our shoulder now, and they put up a tremendous effort there.

489
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: But I think this is actually a good matchup here,

490
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: especially for the Eagles defense, because what you've got is

491
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders that what do they really make their money on. Offensively,

492
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: it's the explosive place, right like, that's what they do.

493
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: They lead the league in pass plays of twenty plus

494
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: yards with thirty two overall. But the Eagles converse, they

495
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: are basically at the opposite end of the spectrum. They

496
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: absolutely limit those plays. That's what their defense is almost

497
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: designed to do. And you know, even though they have

498
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: played the Bucks and the Cowboys and the Chiefs, they've

499
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: allowed just eleven pass plays of twenty plus yards. So

500
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: it is something where basically the Raiders' strength meets the

501
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 1: exact strength of the Eagles defense. The Raiders can't really

502
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: run the ball. Their offensive line is bad. They're averaging

503
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 1: thirty three point four yards per carry. Pardon me. They

504
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 1: twenty eighth in rush rushing DVA offensively, and the Eagles

505
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: defensive line is very good and Derek Carr really there

506
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: are two ways there at Car succeeds when you watch

507
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: him play. Number one, there is no pressure on him

508
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: and he's able to have time and survey the field.

509
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: Are number two, he gets blitzed. Pretty good against the

510
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: blitz but he is not good as most quarterbacks when

511
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: you're able to get pressure on him without blitzing. That

512
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: is something the Eagles do very very well. So offensively

513
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: at the very least, I don't expect the Raiders to

514
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: have a huge game for the Eagles offensively. Like the Bucks,

515
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: they're coming off a mini bi I think they finally

516
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: found a little bit of something here with Miles Sanders,

517
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: which everybody in the world. I mean, you have their

518
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 1: fans derisively cheering when they finally gave Sanders a carry,

519
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: and they don't do it on a good day. They

520
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: weren't doing it against the Bucks. But Sanders has played

521
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: well when he's gotten the work. He played well against

522
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: the Bucks when he got the work. You can attack

523
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders a little bit more here on the ground.

524
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: Their secondary is also a little banged up. The Philadelphia

525
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: is getting Dallas Goddard back now he's been activated off

526
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: the COVID lit Sirianna's got to get something going. Okay,

527
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: they're tuned four. They look stagnant on offense, is getting

528
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: a lot of heat. I think they're going to take

529
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: this week to design a game plan. It's basically a

530
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,800
Speaker 1: cell high spot here on the Raiders as well, So

531
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't I don't hit the under either. It's forty

532
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: nine and a half for me, but my official pick

533
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: is going to be the Eagles getting three points against

534
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: the Raiders in Las Vegas. Tell me you're on the

535
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: other side.

536
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: No, So we're actually in agreement on this game. Now,

537
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't back the Eagles though, but if

538
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 2: I was going to take the spread out, I would

539
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 2: have taken the Eagles. But I did take the bet

540
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: that you just mentioned, which is the under. So I'm

541
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 2: I'm on the under in this game. I agree with

542
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: a lot of the points that you just that you

543
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 2: just made two underrated defenses. Eagles are third in the

544
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 2: NFL and pony yards per play. Vegas is fifth in

545
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: the NFL and the pony yards per play. Both teams

546
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: are good against the pass. The reason why I didn't

547
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 2: take the Eagles and why they scared me a little bit,

548
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: and you kind of alluded to it there you mentioned it,

549
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 2: Eagle's very good at running the ball, but they kind

550
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 2: of refuse to do it for their tenth and like

551
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: passing play percentage, like they're just passing the ball like

552
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 2: in the upper third of the NFL, but yet their

553
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 2: second in the NFL in yards per carry. Like they're

554
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 2: very good, very effective at running the ball, but they

555
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: just don't do it that much, which makes no sense

556
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 2: to me, especially when your quarterback is Jalen Hurts, like,

557
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: run the ball like, I don't know. I don't know

558
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: what they're doing. They haven't shown me yet that they're

559
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: willing to do it, and until they are, I'm going

560
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: to stop betting on them. Because actually, you mentioned at

561
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 2: the start of your pick two about how much you've

562
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 2: been betting on the Eagles. This is actually the first

563
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 2: week I haven't taken the Eagles on the spread or

564
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: money line, so I've been betting on the Eagles almost

565
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: every week as well. But I want to see them

566
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 2: start running the ball more, so I am going to

567
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: take the under instead. I think it's just two underrated

568
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 2: defenses well, I saw the total like I would have

569
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: said it like forty six for me too.

570
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, And to be fair, I wanted another spread bed

571
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 1: here anyway, just because I want to get into it.

572
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: And I did like the Eagles when I got into it,

573
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: and then I checked what the total was, and when

574
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: it was forty nine, I was like, wait, what so

575
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: really that's probably almost a better play, But you know

576
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: what doing in game teaser, then tease the total up

577
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: and take the under, and then tease the spread up

578
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 1: for me for the Eagles, And yeah, look the Eagles

579
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: they wound up covering the spread despite how bad they

580
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: looked against the Bucks on Thursday. But also I do

581
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: think I don't want to do the foulacity for rational coaching,

582
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: but I think at this point, like you know, if

583
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: you continue to do this, if you're Nick Siriani and

584
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: you continue to run this offense through Jalen Hurts passing

585
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: the ball and they continue to lose like this, that's

586
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: just devastating for you as a coach, as a rookie coach,

587
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 1: when you have someone like Miles Sanders and they run

588
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: the ball pretty effectively. When they do so, they came out,

589
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, Shane Seken they came out. They basically like,

590
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: we got to run the ball a little bit more here,

591
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 1: So I do think that this is a spot for

592
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: them to do that. So all right, let's recaut the

593
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: picks very quickly. You're taking the Bengals on the money

594
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 1: line against the Ravens at plus two point thirty. That's dropping,

595
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: by the way, I see a couple of books now

596
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: dropping it, So get on it now if you like that.

597
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,719
Speaker 1: You're taking the Jets and the Patriots under forty two

598
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: and a half, a pick that I like very much

599
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: as well, and the Bucks playing twelve and a half

600
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: to the Bears. I'm taking the Panthers laying three to

601
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: the Giants. I'm also taking the under forty three in

602
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: that same game, and I'm also taking the Eagles getting

603
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: three in Las Vegas. Let's run through the remaining spreads

604
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: that we haven't touchdown, now, people, you know what I'm

605
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: gonna actually ask it people listening to this. It'll drop,

606
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure before the Thursday night game, but just in

607
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: case afterwards, so we can have our record. Where did

608
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 1: you go here with the Broncos and the Browns? Since

609
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: you have to pick every game right now, The spread,

610
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 1: by the way, is at one and a half. I

611
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you were able to get it early

612
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: enough at the you know, the the Broncos getting three

613
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: and a half.

614
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 2: Originally, I'm on the Browns, so I lock in my

615
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 2: bets Wednesday night. So did already drop down to one

616
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 2: and a half.

617
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: Okay.

618
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: I'm a big underreact guy when it comes to injury news,

619
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: So anytime you know, a player comes out like Baker

620
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 2: Mayfield in this game, everyone's gonna jump on the Broncos.

621
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: I like to underreact to the news and stick with

622
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 2: that team. I did it last week. Russell Wilson got

623
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 2: ruled out obviously, the sure Gino Smith got put in.

624
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 2: Every everyone was betting against the Seahawks, they went with

625
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 2: the Steelers. I underreacted to it. I took the Seahawks

626
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: on the spread and a work though for me. So yeah,

627
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: I'm sticking with the Browns here minus one and a half.

628
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 2: I just think the offensive line is going to be

629
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 2: able to get the job done. Denver's dead last the

630
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: NFL and third down conversion percentage, which is a bad

631
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: sign for their offense. I think the Browns get it

632
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,199
Speaker 2: done and case Keenum's a very capable backup.

633
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: Oh yes, case Kinon's won the better backup quarterbacks only

634
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: he could probably start for one or two teams here

635
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I am, I'm going to say this

636
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: is a game that only betters and fantasy players can

637
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: really love. But let's go to the Packers at home

638
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: right now, laying seven and a half. There are some

639
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: eight and a half's actually out there, so it's wild

640
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: a little bit here. The Packers at home, length seven

641
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 1: and a half to Washington.

642
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 2: I'm taking Washington and the points in this one. I

643
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 2: think people are overvaluing the Packers, especially their offense. Everyone's

644
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 2: looking at Aaron Rodgers, you know, reigning MVP. They're eighteenth

645
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 2: in yards per play, only slightly better than Wall at

646
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 2: twenty first fourteenth and third down conversion percentage, twenty second,

647
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 2: red zone offense, fifteenth in yards per carry, So statistically

648
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 2: they're an average offense and defensively, fun little fact about them,

649
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 2: dead last and red zone defense. Every single time an

650
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: opponent has gone into the red zone this year, they've

651
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: scored a touchdown fifteen red zone trips fifteen touchdowns. That's

652
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 2: not a good sign. I like Washington in the points.

653
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: All right, we already know you like the Bengals getting

654
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: the six and a half, certainly from the Ravens as

655
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: you mentioned. How about your Falcons traveling to Miami off

656
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: a bye and getting two and a half points. No,

657
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 1: giving to a half points. I'm so sorry giving to

658
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: and a half points.

659
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to back my Falcons here. I'm starting

660
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 2: to buy in on them a little bit, to be

661
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: completely honest. Dolphins, Panthers, Saints next three weeks. I've bought

662
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 2: in on the fact they're gonna be five and three

663
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 2: and in the hunt for wild card spot. But I

664
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: think the Dolphins are the worst team in the NFL

665
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: quite frankly. And Falcons right now eighth in red zone offense,

666
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: fifth and third down conversion percentage. I think that's a

667
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: good sign of this offense. I think Arthur Smith is

668
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: kind of coming into his own with his play calling,

669
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan a little bit more comfortable to the passable game.

670
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna lay the points with the Falcons.

671
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, the offense is definitely playing a little better and

672
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are just in disarray right now. Also, I

673
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: don't know how you don't take the buy after London,

674
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: because I believe they offer every team that after London

675
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: and you can't take the buy, and they opted not

676
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: to terrible. There were obviously all the rumors about the

677
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson you know yesterday, so that team is just tough.

678
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: And even if the secondary gets healthier with Zaman Howard

679
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: and Barne Jones, like, I can't really trust them. So

680
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: I am with you. Originally, when I first looked at it,

681
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: I was like, I think the doll you know, they're

682
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: not quite that bad, but I do trust a little

683
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: bit more of the Falcons coming off the buy. How

684
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: about the Jets are visiting New England, they are getting seven.

685
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: That was the under that I'm on. I think if

686
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 2: I go with the spread, I think i'd have to

687
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: take Jets in the points because their defense is extremely underrated.

688
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: Like I said earlier, second red zone defense. So I

689
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 2: would take the Jets and the points. But that's my under.

690
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a complete I know you're on the ender,

691
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: of course, but I would avoid. I can't take this

692
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: bread like I just it's a terrible thing. I don't

693
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: mac Jones when you were laying a touchdown is just

694
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: not so thing I'm comfortable doing. Despite the fact that

695
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: he has played pretty well, and you're hopeful that the

696
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: Jets off the buy sort of get something going here.

697
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: But it's a tough one, this one. I'm interested to

698
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: hear which way you went. The Chiefs are visiting the Titans.

699
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are laying five. What'd you do with that one?

700
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 2: I just took the over. I mean, flip a coin

701
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: if you're gonna go to spread. Both these teams just

702
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 2: just some of the worst defenses in the NFL right now.

703
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: The total totals what up to, like fifty seven or something.

704
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, fifty seven, yep.

705
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 2: I mean that's an it's insanely high total. But I

706
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 2: can't back either team based on their defense. I mean

707
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 2: the Chiefs laying points, I mean their defense is literally

708
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: the worst in the NFL right now, So I can't lay.

709
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 2: I can't lay points. I don't care who's their quarterback,

710
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 2: I don't care how good their offense is. And then

711
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 2: the Titans, I mean, their defense is almost as bad

712
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 2: as the chief So on the spread, flip a coin,

713
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: I guess the Chiefs have the better offense. Both defenses stink.

714
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna take the over and roof some points.

715
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, It's a terrible game to bet, really, and it's

716
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: a weird spot too, because the Titans are coming off

717
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: the Giant win on Monday Night. Who knows what that

718
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: does to them, you know, exactly. So I mean, forced

719
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: to pick a side, probably I'll take the Chiefs with

720
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: get lay in the points. But it's a game that

721
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: this would be the game, and this would be a

722
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: game that on a spread level, I would just try

723
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: to desperately avoid. We talked about the Panthers and the Giants.

724
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: Let's get some of the bigger spreads. You've got the

725
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 1: Rams laying fifteen and a half to Detroit in Los Angeles.

726
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a big plug your nose game. I

727
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,719
Speaker 2: think you have to take the lines at that many points.

728
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 2: I know you mentioned earlier you don't like betting double

729
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: digit favorites. I'm the same way. But where I draw

730
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: the line is two touchdowns. If you're gonna lay a

731
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 2: team is getting over two touchdowns, I have to take

732
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 2: the underdog. I mean, this is the NFL. These guys

733
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 2: are professionals or professional athletes. They're gonna show up. This

734
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: is not college football Alabama against South Carolina. These teams

735
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: are gonna show up. But I mean, I'm a big

736
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: stats guy. I look at stats more than anything else.

737
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: And if you're gonna bet at based on the stats,

738
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: you have to take the Rams. Like Rams are first

739
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: in the NFL, and yards per past ten lines are

740
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 2: dead last, so you literally have the best passing offense

741
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: against literally the worst passing defense. So all the stats

742
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 2: say the Rams are gonna win by like thirty, but

743
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 2: the NFL is just yeah, fifteen points is none. The

744
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 2: Rams could be up twenty one points, the line score

745
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 2: like a garbage time touchdown with a minute left, and

746
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 2: they're covering.

747
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I'm That's the thing. I think if

748
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 1: the Rams wanted to and they kept their foot on

749
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: the gas, they'd win this game by thirty one points, right, Like,

750
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: they can do whatever they want. But they won't, right

751
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: because at the end of the game, they're just going

752
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: to ease back, and you're right, it just screams back

753
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: to our cover. I agree. If I have to go somewhere,

754
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: I am taking the points, as I do with most

755
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: of these games. We talked already about the Eagles Raiders,

756
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: We talked already about the Bears and the Bucks. Another

757
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: big spread, Cardinals ar laying seventeen and a half points

758
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: to the Houston Texans Or is this another point where

759
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: you're just like you have to take the points or what?

760
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, just take everything I just said about the last

761
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 2: game and apply seventeen and a half points the NFL game.

762
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 2: And also don't forget like I can kind of actually

763
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: understand a little bit more with the Rams, but like

764
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 2: the Cardinals defense eighteenth in opponent yards per play, second last,

765
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 2: and opponent yards per carry. Teams are getting five point

766
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: two yards per carry on the ground against them. This

767
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: like no defense that's like an average to below average

768
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 2: defense should be a seventeen and a half point favorite

769
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: against an NFL team. Makes no sense to me. He

770
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 2: got it back the Texans here.

771
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate it, but I agree. And the Sunday

772
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: night game, forty nine ers are laying four to the

773
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: Colts at very interesting or what you think about this one?

774
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? This is this is a tough game as well.

775
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 2: I would put this right behind the Giants Panthers as

776
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 2: far as the toughest games to GAINDICAP this week. I

777
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 2: am gonna lay the points with the forty nine ers

778
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: in this one. It really just comes down to the

779
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 2: they have the much better defense. Really, both offenses are

780
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 2: kind of comparable so far, especially like third down defense,

781
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: which is something I look at quite a bit. Same

782
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: with the red zone defense. Forty nine ers fourth and

783
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: third down defense, Colts are twentieth. Colts are also terrible

784
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: against the pass. No, the forty nine Ers obviously aren't

785
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 2: a huge passing team, twenty eighth in opponent yards for

786
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: past attempt The forty nine Ers will be able to

787
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 2: do something against the air, against the through the air

788
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: against this Colts team, I'm gonna lay the points with

789
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, but it's definitely not one of

790
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 2: my better bets of the week. It's a tough one.

791
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. When I looked at this on Monday, I like

792
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 1: the Colts actually a lot, and now I don't. It's

793
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: just to stay away from me, you know, the forty

794
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 1: nine ers, you know, at home as a favorite. It's

795
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 1: not like something where I want to necessarily back Kyle

796
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: Shannan off the by though, you know, with Jimmy g

797
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: back in there, which helps them, you know, from a

798
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: betting perspective, at least in my opinion as of right now,

799
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: with the Colts, I really do like what I've seen

800
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: from them a little more offensively, and they're getting a

801
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: little healthier, at least on the offensive line. Of course,

802
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: maybe Quentin Nelson comes back, maybe, but they've also got

803
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: other injuries. Hilton is fifty to fifty for Sunday, so

804
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you can rely on him. They obviously

805
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: just lost Paris Campbell, and they have injuries on defense

806
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 1: as well, So I think I would just if I

807
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: if I had to bet like you, I would probably

808
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: lean the forty nine ers, but I'm staying away. And finally,

809
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: the Saints are visiting the Seahawks on Monday Night and

810
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are getting four and a half points. What

811
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: do you think?

812
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a very similar handicap to the Sunday

813
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 2: night game. I'm back the Saints laying the points here

814
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 2: because it just comes down to the difference between the

815
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 2: two defenses. Saints offense is actually not could at all

816
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 2: and the Seahawks offense has completely lost their bite with

817
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson and Gino Smith in. But the Saints defense,

818
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 2: compared to the Seahawks defense, just completely night and day.

819
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 2: Saints have the best rush defense right now, only allowing

820
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: three point three yards per carry, best red zone defense

821
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 2: as well, which is absolutely huge. Also been a good

822
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 2: road bet recently, fourteen to four against the spread in

823
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 2: their last eighteen road games, So I think the defense

824
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 2: is what makes the big difference here. Obviously, if Russell

825
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 2: Wilson was playing, it's a different story. But I'll lay

826
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 2: the points with the Saints in this one just based

827
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: on how good their defense has been.

828
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, as well, I coming off the buy as well.

829
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: I think they've got plenty of time to prepare, and

830
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: you know that the Seayoffs are a little banged up

831
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: here after that tough game there against the Steelers. All right, Ian,

832
