I like to make money. 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 4: All right, this is the ultimate combine if you want to. 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: And we are underway. 11 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 4: Welcome to the Action Network Podcast, presented by bet MGM. 12 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 4: I'm Jill Gallant. I'm joined by Eben Abrams. Each and 13 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 4: every week here's our research director here at the Action Network. 14 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 4: And as usual, we're going to dive into all the 15 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 4: Sunday NFL action for week thirteen. Brandon Anderson, he'll join 16 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 4: us a little bit later in the show.

He'll 18 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 4: give us an update on the sportsbooks in Vegas and 19 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 4: how they fared for this NFL Sunday. But Evan, as usual, 20 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 4: let's look at Monday Night Football Jaguars Bengals. Jaguars nine 21 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 4: point favorites with another total below forty at thirty nine. 22 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 4: Jacksonville though eight and three against the spread, best mark 23 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 4: in the NFL, while the Bengals are four six and 24 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 4: one against the spread. I'm not sure if I'm going 25 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 4: to betting a side in this game, Evan, but I 26 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 4: will say that it does not match up well for Sincey, 27 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 4: especially because since He's run game is non existent for 28 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 4: most of the year and it was abysmal with Joe Burrow. 29 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 4: It's been bad with Jake Browning as well, and Jacksonville's 30 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 4: been quietly one of the best run defenses in the NFL. 31 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 4: There fifth and rush yards allowed, sixth and rushing touchdowns allowed. Also, 32 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 4: Sean Kerner, our colleague, does spreads for basically backup quarterbacks, 33 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 4: and he had Jake Browning as arguably the worst backup 34 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 4: quarterback in the NFL at that point, based on like 35 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 4: a minus six spread differential if he's playing as opposed 36 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 4: to Burrow. So I don't know if I could really 37 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 4: take a Bengals side here at nine. I think I'm 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 4: leaning to the under here. What are you looking at 39 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 4: right now for this game? 40 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure you could even talk about a 41 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: side in this one, especially when it gets up to ten, 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: because I can't talk about taking the Bengals for a 43 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 2: number of reasons based off of things you've seen from Browning, 44 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: but I mean, from the Jaguars point of view, probably 45 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 2: the hottest team in the NFL right now, seven to 46 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 2: one ATS in their last eight, and from Jacksonville's point 47 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: of view, it's the best start since two thousand and seven, 48 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: So they're hot in itself in terms of winning games, 49 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 2: and Jacksonville in terms of Peterson wins night games twenty 50 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: one and eight straight up, nineteen and ten against the spread, 51 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: so they've done well there. And then the scary thing 52 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: on the other side is the Browning stuff, Like Taylor 53 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 2: without Burrow has been literally atrocious. It's four and twenty 54 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 2: straight up, ten and fourteen against the spread. That four 55 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 2: and twenty number is just yikes. And you know, sometimes 56 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 2: Cincinnati needs Burrow to bail them out. So it just 57 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 2: kind of proves what type of team they are, especially 58 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: in the past. Obviously they had some really tough years. 59 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 2: Burrow is hurt, but in this one, I'm just not 60 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: sure I can, like you said, talk about a side. Obviously, 61 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 2: Unders thirteen and one on Monday Night football this year, 62 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: fifty eight, twenty eight and one since twenty nineteen, so 63 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: Unders have been the ride. It's at forty right now. Now, 64 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: it's interesting to look that the look ahead total was 65 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: forty one, now just forty, so a very small move 66 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 2: compared to obviously the spread that's moved an enormous amount 67 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 2: without Burrow. So maybe the under is the play, especially 68 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 2: if you can get over that forty number. 69 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean so I've taken the over now 70 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 4: in three straight Monday night footballs. I'm not doing it 71 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 4: again because I'm oning three on that spot. I'm not 72 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 4: testing the gambling gods anymore. But I will say this 73 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 4: is that if you like the Bengals, I think you 74 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 4: might like the over as well, because I think the 75 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 4: one way that they would score is probably in the 76 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 4: opening couple of drives, those scripted plays. But I feel 77 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 4: like if they don't get it going by then I'm 78 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 4: I'm not sure if they're going to be able to 79 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 4: manage and just manifest offense in the second half here. 80 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 4: But I will say Jake Browning as a touchdown scorer 81 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 4: does seem interesting. It's around twelve to one. You don't 82 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 4: really see a lot of any time touchdown odds for 83 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 4: a starting quarterback at those odds. Now. I did just 84 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 4: mention obviously that Jacksonville was really good against the runs, 85 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 4: so maybe not the best spot here, but also at 86 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 4: the same time, I'm just saying there's not a lot 87 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 4: of opportunity where you're able to get a quarterback over 88 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 4: plus one thousand. But from a touchdown perspective, I think 89 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 4: I would lean to Zay Jones with the Jaguars. He's 90 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 4: a round plus three seventy five at bat MGM. So 91 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 4: one of the reasons why I like Jay Jones is 92 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: now he's only played five games this year, but he 93 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 4: does have two touchdowns, seven red zone targets. Earlier in 94 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 4: the year, had a really good connection with Trevor Lawrence 95 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 4: where you had like five red zone targets in two games, 96 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 4: but was dealing with injury a lot. This year, he's 97 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 4: off the injury report now. Bengals pass defense starting to 98 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 4: regress their nineteenth and DVO waiversus the past. They're going 99 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 4: to be missing one of their starting orders as well, 100 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 4: Cam Taylor Britt. I really like all the past pass catchers. 101 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 4: I like Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk too, but they're 102 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 4: all around plus one eighty to plus one ninety, so 103 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 4: I'd rather just look down the odds board, especially for 104 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,720 Speaker 4: a wide receiver that's playing over seventy five percent of snaps. 105 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,239 Speaker 2: What do you think about Ingram. 106 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 4: He's due and I don't really like betting touchdown scores 107 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 4: when he's due. And I think the books know that too, 108 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 4: that the money is starting to flood in on that 109 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 4: because you're starting to see him drop from plus three 110 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 4: hundred to less, especially with how the Bengals do match 111 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 4: up against tight ends this year where they're bottom five 112 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 4: and devl waiversus tight ends. I just don't like betting. 113 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 4: It's the same. It's the Deontay Johnson paradox. I don't 114 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 4: like betting on you to score your first touchdown. I'll 115 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 4: get back in on the train after you get through, 116 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 4: But until I see it, I need to. I have 117 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 4: to pump the brakes. I just don't want to, especially 118 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 4: with this climate that we're in of touchdown scores where 119 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 4: they're already harder to hit as they are so but 120 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 4: not crapping on the pick. It's more just if it's 121 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 4: not going to happen, now, when is it going to happen? 122 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: You know? 123 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 4: All right, so that's Monday night football. But now, well 124 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 4: let's start looking at Sunday. Evan six teams on buy. 125 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 4: This week we had the Ravens, the Bills, the Bears, 126 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 4: the Raiders, the Vikings, and the Giants. Very interesting slate 127 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 4: two very good for favorites ten and one straight up, 128 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 4: eight and three against the spread. Favors just crushing over 129 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 4: the last three weeks, thirty three and eight straight up, 130 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 4: twenty five and sixteen against the spread. How did the 131 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 4: public do? Evan for this week? 132 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: Same thing, another role, another go. It's honestly been unreal. 133 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: So eight and three straight up, eight and three against 134 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 2: the spread for the public, and it's important to remember 135 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: because of them fifty one percent of tickets or higher 136 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 2: on the spread we use it according to Action Network 137 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: Action Labs. So but eight and three straight up, eight 138 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 2: and three against the spread. Now, big picture, you know, 139 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 2: balloon view one hundred and fourteen and seventy straight up 140 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: one hundred and one seventy eight and five against the spread. 141 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 2: That is the best ATS start for the public in 142 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: bet Labs, so that since two thousand and five weeks. 143 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: That's during Sunday night football. So we'll see how it goes. 144 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 2: But right now, that is the best start one o 145 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: one seventy eight and five against the spread. 146 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 4: Benhelvad In a very public road favorite this week. Definitely 147 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 4: the game of the week, maybe even the game of 148 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 4: the year was forty nine Ers Eagles forty nine Ers 149 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 4: big road favorites, not big favorites actually, but big favorites 150 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 4: for playing at the link at three with over under 151 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 4: forty eight. The Niners win convincingly forty two to nineteen 152 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 4: total also goes over, especially in the second half, because 153 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 4: the Niners offense really just started to get really efficient 154 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 4: in the second half. They had six straight drives with 155 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 4: a touchdown. And Brock Purty, you know, the MVP stock rising, 156 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 4: I'm not sure if I'm willing to put him as 157 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 4: a favorite over somebody like Jalen or maybe even to 158 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 4: what nineteen for twenty seven from the field, three hundred 159 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 4: and fourteen yards, four touchdowns, no picks in a pretty 160 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 4: hostile environment against a pretty tough defense. I thought it 161 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 4: was a pretty convincing win. 162 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, this one was super saying from multiple points of view. Right, 163 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 2: we had talked about this one coming off of the 164 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 2: Eagles overtime game last week. The amount of plays had 165 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: to play. 166 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 4: Games they played in the last few weeks too, that's true. 167 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, in the last thirteen days that had been talked 168 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 2: about as well, So you know, a lot of tread 169 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: and the tires going into this one. Uh now you 170 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 2: talked about party. I think it's interesting to bring up 171 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 2: this stat to three hundred passing yards, four touchdowns and 172 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 2: no picks. It's only the second quarterback to ever do 173 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: that in Philly. Kirk Cousins did that. So three hundred 174 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: pass three hundred passing yards, four touchdowns. Though just teasing, 175 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 2: it's honestly crazy that like in these situations he has 176 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 2: stepped up. Now he hasn't been as good on the road, right, 177 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 2: like his whole entering this one, people had kind of 178 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: talked about the fact that like different quarterback at home, 179 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: they run over people. Games really aren't close. On the road, 180 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: it's been a different story. This was completely different. Like 181 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: people who handicap this game and during the game talked 182 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,719 Speaker 2: about all the things that I feel like kind of 183 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: came true. He just ran over Philly in a number 184 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 2: of areas that they were either injured or what felt 185 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 2: like a little bit weaker. And during this game. Now, 186 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 2: if this game gets repeated, if you know there's a 187 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 2: little bit of rest involved, and you know, game take 188 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: I think it's I think there's a little bit of 189 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 2: a different story, but I think the handicap for this 190 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 2: week just kind of worked. 191 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 4: Well, and this game felt like it was going to 192 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 4: be competitive all the way through. I mean, the Eagles 193 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 4: cut it to twenty one to thirteen, and but again, 194 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 4: the Niners just could not be stopped. From a defensive standpoint, 195 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 4: the Eagles defense just was not getting anything going, and 196 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 4: their run game was pretty much non existent forty six 197 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 4: rushing yards on seventeen carries. They usually average about thirty 198 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 4: rush attempts per game, so they couldn't really control the pace. 199 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 4: And then of course we have to acknowledge at least 200 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 4: that Jalen Hurts might have been a little banged up there, 201 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 4: especially in the second half. He did leave for a 202 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 4: little while. He did end up coming back, leading a 203 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 4: touchdown drive touchdown pass to Ofvante Smith. But early in 204 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 4: the game I thought the Niners were going to be 205 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: in trouble because they had two three and outs the nine. 206 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 4: The Eagles were driving down the field on two straight 207 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 4: drives end up settling for field goals, and a stat 208 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 4: that I saw before the game was that the Eagles 209 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 4: had had twelve straight red zone trips with a touchdown 210 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 4: entering the game, and they had to settle for those 211 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 4: two field goals. 212 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 1: I thought that was a. 213 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 4: Really important stand for that Niners defense. 214 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think early on it didn't feel like the 215 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 2: way it was the way it ended right like, I. 216 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 4: Got real chippy by the end, got. 217 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 2: Real chippy, but also kind of turned down into a blowout. 218 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 2: Now the Hurts injury. I think a few things happened 219 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 2: that kind of led there. But early on I thought 220 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: it was going to be kind of a juggernaut battle, 221 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 2: but it ended up turning out to be kind of 222 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: what the S brand ended up dictating, which was market money. 223 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 2: Everything went San Francisco's way, and they looked great Now, 224 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 2: San Francisco, I think it's interesting to kind of look 225 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 2: forward a little bit. This game was what it was. 226 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 2: I think we're both gonna We're gonna see both these 227 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: teams going forward. It's those laying twe saves those laying 228 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: twelve next week at home against Seattle. Obviously Seattle now 229 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: on a little bit extra rest off that Dallas game, 230 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: but huge, huge numbers, so healthy all around. I kind 231 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 2: of like Seattle, but there's most maybe Kenneth walker back, 232 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: So maybe like number gets a little higher. 233 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. And the Niners, obviously, I think are 234 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 4: going to be laying pretty heavy numbers, I think the 235 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 4: rest of the way because they've got the Seahawks, the Cardinals. 236 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 4: Now the Ravens might be a little bit closer, but 237 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 4: they are hosting the Ravens and then the Commanders and 238 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 4: Rams to finish out the year. But the Eagles, I'm 239 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 4: more interested in how their schedule is about to go 240 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 4: now because now they have to go on the road 241 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 4: next week to Dallas. They are going to be three 242 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 4: point road dogs at this stage. It might grow depending 243 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 4: on what kind of injury status we're seeing with Jalen Hurts, 244 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 4: but I'm not sure. Simon, as part of the Favorites podcast, 245 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 4: he mentioned that this spread may go to for I'm 246 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 4: not sure if that's going to be the case. I 247 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 4: think that will still get back down to three. But again, 248 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 4: their schedule, You've got the Cowboys, then that same Seahawks teams, Cardinals, 249 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 4: Giants to end it out. But this is kind of 250 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 4: the Cowboys opportunity where if they were able to get 251 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 4: a win here, the race to the NFC East gets 252 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 4: a little closer. 253 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 2: I mean, has Philly ever entered Dallas with Dallas more 254 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 2: hot than this? So, I mean, if they get the 255 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: spread's going to go to four, especially Dallas at home 256 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 2: and what they've been doing, it's been absolutely unreal. So yeah, 257 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 2: I could see anything. I think, just like Listen, I 258 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: was enticed by the three when it got there. I 259 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,439 Speaker 2: think if it got the four, especially that's a pretty 260 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 2: key number in that situation, it's gonna be pretty enticing. 261 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 2: But I think you also have to, you know, get 262 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: some early word on Hurts this week, right. 263 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, But I think the early betting will move 264 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 4: that market and you'll see kind of that money. I 265 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 4: think we'll show you if whether or not he's actually 266 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 4: feeling good going into the week. All right. So that 267 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 4: was probably the most high profile game of the day, 268 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 4: But another game that had some had some cachet was 269 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 4: Broncos Texans and Texans win twenty two to seventeen. Texans 270 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 4: do cover as three and a half point favorites, the 271 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 4: total does go under a forty seven and a half 272 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,199 Speaker 4: Interesting now with the Broncos, who had won six straight 273 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 4: coming into that game, now six and six. Tough loss. Again, 274 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 4: both of these teams are pretty much right in the 275 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 4: mix and the AFC playoff picture for the wild card spots. 276 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 4: But now the Broncos, they've got the Lions, the Chargers, 277 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 4: the Patriots, and the Chargers coming up for the remainder 278 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 4: of their schedule. That feels a little tough to be 279 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 4: able to make it, especially when you consider the Texans 280 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 4: now sitting there with the Jets, Titans, Browns, and Titans 281 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 4: again and then the Colts to finish off their season. 282 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 4: I'm kind of thinking that the Broncos let this one 283 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 4: slip away and it might cost them the playoff spot 284 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 4: going forward. 285 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we did a good job sliding this 286 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: one second, because this is massive in the AFC picture. 287 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 2: I didn't think it was gonna be massive maybe a 288 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 2: few weeks ago or definitely before the season. As we 289 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: got here right now, absolutely massive, And from a person 290 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 2: who had Houston money line, I feel like I got Russ. 291 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 2: I got the Russ I wanted right the US I 292 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: thought I was gonna get. I got the rust that 293 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 2: thought the streak was going to end up breaking at 294 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: this point, it wasn't going to keep running. It was 295 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 2: something that you know, obviously, the NFL is a roller 296 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 2: coaster and one touchdown, three interceptions one hundred and eighty 297 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 2: six yards, especially the bad interception to end the game. 298 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 2: I feel like it was the right handicap. Obviously, Stroud 299 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 2: gets hurt and it's all you know, all of a sudden, 300 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: you get a little bit of a flux in the 301 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 2: middle of the game. Then Tank Dell gets hurt as well. 302 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 2: So Houston went through a bunch of different things during 303 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 2: the game, but still comes out on top. Also fun 304 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 2: to note Houston Indy two first teams over their preseason 305 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 2: win total. So AFC South, which we could talk about. 306 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 4: We could see three AFC South playoff teams this year. 307 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 4: We'll talk about that Colts team here in a little 308 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 4: bit real. Yeah, I would not have predicted that at 309 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 4: the start of the year, given the way the AFC 310 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 4: playoff picture was. I think that take Dell injury is 311 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 4: a little underrated of going forward. I know, I love CJ. Stratta, 312 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 4: he can make other guys become better, but Tank Dell 313 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 4: was such a safety vout for him, especially on the run, 314 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 4: making a converting third down stuff like that. So he 315 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 4: was one of their best playmakers and he's probably out 316 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 4: for the rest of the year now. So that's a tough, 317 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 4: tough loss. But that Russell Wilson game that you were 318 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 4: talking about, he's only had in his career because I 319 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 4: went and looked it up. Now he's played like one 320 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty games at least in his career, but 321 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 4: he's only had four three interception games. He's not really 322 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 4: that type like he'll have like you know, a turnover 323 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 4: maybe a turnover street, but he doesn't really have a 324 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 4: lot of turnovers in one game. He has had one 325 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 4: three turnover game like that with the Broncos so far, 326 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 4: but again, very efficient usually on the turnover front. So 327 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 4: especially the way that was ice like that for the 328 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 4: Texans felt like it had to be done. But again 329 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 4: the turnover look for them that they've had over the 330 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 4: last six games, that had to turn right. So I 331 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 4: mean Russey had forty four passing yards from the half. 332 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 4: Not a lot of run game as well. That's another 333 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 4: thing that's been going on for the Broncos because they 334 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 4: again now only have three run or four rushing touchdowns 335 00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 4: this year. Russ has two of them. Russ was the 336 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 4: second leading rusher on the team today like that can't 337 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 4: happened for the Broncos to be successful. So the Texans, 338 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 4: though they're not completely out of it in the AFC South, 339 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 4: I'm not saying that they can win the division again, 340 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 4: it's pretty much the Jags, especially with the Jags schedule 341 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 4: it's remaining. But I still think that that Texans team, 342 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 4: if they match up with the Jags, I still think 343 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 4: that they could probably get there. They just don't have 344 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 4: another game obviously the rest of the season with them. 345 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 4: I'm just saying that I still feel like there's an 346 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 4: outside chance that the Texans can win the AFC South 347 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 4: and that it's maybe interested in betting because they were 348 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 4: probably around plus three hundred to win the AFC South 349 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 4: entering today, I imagine it's probably around the same odds 350 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 4: after today. 351 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a believer. I mean, I'll believe in Houston 352 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 2: to catch Jacksonville before I believe in Indy. 353 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 4: Jackson will still to hold it out. 354 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I still can't believe in Indy like this still Okay, 355 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: still behind Indy to me all year and maybe listen, 356 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 2: as gamblers and people who kind of go through this 357 00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 2: sport week to week and just very granular to it, 358 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 2: sometimes we have blind spots. Right, there's certain things maybe 359 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 2: we have things we've known in the past that you know, 360 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 2: maybe we're not adjusting to. I just I'm not doing 361 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 2: great with Indy. I just feel like they're a team 362 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: that's excelling and doing well and performing well this year, 363 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: and I continue to kind of not rate them as such. 364 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 2: So I think I'm pretty surprised by what they've done. 365 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,479 Speaker 2: And if I'm gonna pick a team, I'm with you. 366 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 2: I think Houston, you know, I think that. Listen, the 367 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 2: Tank Dell injury really does hurt, right, Like they had 368 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 2: an offense that was able to kind of extend the 369 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: field and do things that probably helped other parts. And 370 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 2: now if tanks out, maybe it hurts that a little bit. 371 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 2: But c J. Stroud's been unreal. I know we've talked 372 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 2: about this every show, but twenty touchdowns, five interceptions through 373 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 2: twelve career starts, you know today eight yards per attempt 374 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 2: with no interception. It's kind of just beautiful that the 375 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,479 Speaker 2: kind of game he plays, it makes it easier on 376 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 2: the offense and the defense. So just kind of like Houston. 377 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 4: And the Texans have to basically face the backup quarterback 378 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 4: the rest of the way. Yeah, Jets two times against 379 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 4: Will Levis and the Titans and then whatever Joe Flacco, 380 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 4: whatever's left to him and Gardner Minshew, who will talk 381 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 4: about him in a second, but he had a full 382 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 4: Minshew game today as well. With the Colts team. 383 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 2: Think about this defense, Denver. Listen to this stat. Oh 384 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 2: for eleven on third down that just I saw that. 385 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 2: I had to look twice. But oh, for eleven on 386 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,560 Speaker 2: third down, that's something that's some great work from Themiko. 387 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 4: All right, let's talk Lions Saints. Lions win thirty three 388 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 4: to twenty eight. They do covers three and a half 389 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 4: point favorites and the over of forty eight and a 390 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 4: half hits. Don't get it twisted that that twenty eight 391 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 4: points was all. They kept it close because Lions pretty 392 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 4: much came out and blasted them early and then they 393 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 4: just sat on the lead. Yes, they did allow a 394 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 4: few touchdowns due Dan Taysom. They finally put the ball 395 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 4: in Taysom Hill's hands and good things happened. Because I 396 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 4: just I can't politely say it anymore. Can we just 397 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 4: not do it? Derek Carr like he had to leave 398 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,919 Speaker 4: the game today for multiple injuries, different things like a 399 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 4: shoulder injury, an ankle, injury, maybe a potential concussion. I mean, 400 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 4: he was seven for twelve for eighty four yards a 401 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 4: half with a touchdown, and he threw an interception on 402 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 4: the first throw of the game. He had a fourth 403 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 4: fourth quarter fumble that he lost that kind of put 404 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 4: them in a bad position. And this was after last 405 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 4: week where they were settling for field goal. They settled 406 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 4: for five field goals in the red zone last week. 407 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 4: I just can't watch it anymore with Derek Carr. So yeah, 408 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 4: I'm hoping the Saints kind of just start to drift away. 409 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 4: We'll talk about the NFC South here in a second, 410 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 4: but Lions again, they pretty much just bum rushed them. 411 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 4: Like Samuel Porta had an amazing game, one hundred and 412 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 4: fifty five yards and a touchdown. But yeah, that's pretty 413 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 4: much what I took away from this is that the Lions. 414 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 4: Now they took care of this harder road game. They've 415 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 4: only got one more game and a dome the rest 416 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 4: of the year, and that's against the Bears next week. 417 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 4: They're going to be pretty big favorites in that game. 418 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 4: I imagine this offense is going to keep clicking. Are probably 419 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 4: gonna finish with at least twelve wins. 420 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 2: I think there's a way to look at this from 421 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 2: both teams, because I think you do have to look 422 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 2: at it singularly. From New Orleans' point of view, NFC 423 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 2: south Man, you're just gonna get this week in and 424 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 2: week out. From all the teams, it's gonna be good. 425 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 2: It's gonna be bad, it's gonna be ugly, it's gonna 426 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 2: be fun for a little bit. It's just there's flaws 427 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,240 Speaker 2: on all of those. Let's forget Carolina for a second 428 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 2: because they have no chance to win the division being eliminated. 429 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,479 Speaker 2: But the other three team eliminated, Yeah, right, the other 430 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 2: three teams going back and forth. There's good things, there's 431 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,479 Speaker 2: bad things, and I think it shows every week, right 432 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 2: the Dennis Allens to the Arthur Smiths to the Todd Bowles. 433 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 2: Someone's got to win this. So I think from New Orleans' 434 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 2: point of view, I think there's things to nitpick. There's 435 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: something that isn't now. Listen, you want up twenty one 436 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 2: to nothing. The offense looks fantastic. I understand that early on. 437 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: Something just still also doesn't feel right with Detroit letting 438 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 2: New Orleans without your heed back in the game. And 439 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 2: they had an opportunity to really steal the game at 440 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 2: the end through a few different you know, drives and this, 441 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 2: this and that. So to me, I'm a little scared 442 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: of Detroit still, But also I do have to give 443 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 2: it up to Golf. Eight touchdowns, two picks on the 444 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 2: road this year, five and one straight up. He's had 445 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 2: sixty percent completion percentage fourteen straight games, played very well, 446 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 2: and it's really what I think his leveling out and 447 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 2: his lack of bad turnovers really keeps Detroit above the line, 448 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 2: if that makes sense. 449 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 4: You know what's funny too about New Orleans is that 450 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 4: they have arguably the next two easiest games you could 451 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 4: have of the year. They have the Panthers coming up 452 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,439 Speaker 4: one and eleven and then face the Giants where they 453 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 4: could easily be break back at five or seven and 454 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 4: seven rather five hundred, maybe potentially getting into the playoffs 455 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 4: as a wildcard, or even stealing the division. Because the 456 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 4: Falcons right now are six and six. We'll talk about 457 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 4: them in the Jets game a little bit later. Bucks 458 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 4: also five and seven, who also beat up on the 459 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 4: Panthers today. But yeah, I think the only thing that 460 00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 4: really just to take away from me is the Lions. 461 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 4: Jared Goff from an ATS standpoint, continues to be a 462 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 4: cash cow, just hitting over seventy percent since being a 463 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 4: Detroit Lion. A lot of good indoor dome games coming 464 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 4: up with the Bears. They host the Broncos. They've been vikings, 465 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 4: Cowboys vikings to end the year, so I think you're 466 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 4: gonna still see a lot of offensive fireworks come out 467 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 4: of this team. But you're right defensively some of these 468 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,120 Speaker 4: matchups coming up, especially the Bears, who I believe Chad 469 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 4: Millman on Today's Favorite Show said that he was already 470 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 4: looking at the Bears plus five in that matchup, and 471 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 4: the Bears are kind of a team that could match 472 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 4: up well with them. So that distrust that you have 473 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 4: should not be unwarranted, especially since when the last time 474 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 4: they played, the Bears could have stole that game, right, 475 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 4: So it took a couple fourth quarter comeback there from 476 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 4: golf to be able to steal that back. But very interesting. 477 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 4: We're going to talk about the NFC stuff a little 478 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 4: bit more as we go, but now it's time for 479 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 4: the hot read from our own Brandon Anderson. Brandon, what 480 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 4: do you have as looking for at early Week fourteen 481 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 4: lines Hot. 482 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: Guys Rights ice cream nineteen seven nineteen hol trade that. 483 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 4: All right? 484 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 5: Week fourteen Hot Reed. We are two and zero again 485 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 5: on Hot Read. This week Texans Island coming through again. 486 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 5: The Niners exposed the Eagles as promised. Hot Red sixteen 487 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 5: seven and one for the season, seventy percent against the 488 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 5: spread on our picks. 489 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 4: Let's get to this week. 490 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 5: We're going back to Texans Island, but not the way 491 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 5: you think. I think the market finally cut up to 492 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 5: Houston six and a half point favorites against a really 493 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 5: good Jets defense. I sort of feel like there might 494 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 5: be some value on the Jets, but I'm gonna stay 495 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 5: away from the side. I can't abandoned the Island. We're 496 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 5: gonna take the under instead, give me the under thirty seven. 497 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 5: We already know the Jets are not gonna score, right, 498 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 5: I need to tell you about that since the bye week. 499 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 5: Here's the Jets points total. These are like baseball numbers 500 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 5: for runs scored thirteen six, twelve, six, thirteen and eight. 501 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 5: That's it nine points seven points a game, and that 502 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 5: entire stretch not fourteen at any point. Fourteen is not 503 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 5: a high bar. And look some of those points are 504 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 5: the defense too. 505 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 4: It's ugly. 506 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 5: I don't know if it's Tim Boyle, I know it's 507 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,959 Speaker 5: Tarvi Simeon. He wasn't in the better He was honestly 508 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 5: worse than Boyle this week. So the Jets are not 509 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 5: gonna score. If they only get ten points, then Houston 510 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 5: has to get to twenty eight to go over this. Houston, 511 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 5: for all the good things they've done, has scored twenty 512 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,959 Speaker 5: two points or lest all but four games this season. 513 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 5: And we know Houston is good. But don't forget the 514 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 5: Jets defense is still the best unit on the field. 515 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 5: Jets defense, Remember the pass defense when they played Josh Allen, 516 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 5: when they played Jalen Hurts, Pat Mahomes. Look what they've 517 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 5: done to the elite quarterbacks and CJ. Stroud has proven 518 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 5: that he belongs in that mix of quarterbacks. 519 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 4: But what's the rookiere. 520 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 5: Gonna do against this nasty defense. I think this could 521 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 5: be a bit of a root awakening, not necessarily that 522 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 5: the Texans lose. I don't know how my feeling on 523 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 5: that yet, but I do think they're not gonna put 524 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 5: up a huge number here. So I like the under 525 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 5: some of our trends. We know these low unders are 526 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 5: hitting thirty seven or below last four calendar years twenty 527 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 5: eight seven in a one to the under eighty percent 528 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 5: hit rate on the under. This season thirty eight or 529 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 5: below sixteen four and a one to the under eighty 530 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 5: percent hit there by five points a game. Home underdog 531 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 5: games under sixty two percent the last three seasons. Not 532 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 5: gonna fade Texans Island here, But let's fade the hype 533 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 5: a little bit. Let's take the under thirty seven and 534 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 5: then look, if you're gonna make Dennis Allen nearly a 535 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 5: full touchdown favorite, then on the principle I am forced 536 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 5: to bet against him, gave me the Panthers plus six 537 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 5: and a half at the New Orleans Saints. Look, the 538 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 5: Panthers kind of look good today. They got rid of 539 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 5: half the coach staff this week, so how do they look. 540 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 5: They play the Buccaneers, They hold their own for the 541 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 5: most part. They fought hard, they covered. They lost by three, 542 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 5: but they covered. They were in it the whole way. 543 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 5: I thought Bryce Young played one of those better games 544 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 5: so far this season. He looked confident, he's moving in 545 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 5: the pocket, he's more aggressive. We saw more Jonathan Mingo 546 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 5: down the field, attacking receiver wise, Cuba Hobbard, the run 547 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 5: game looked good, some good signs from the Panthers, and honestly, 548 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 5: some bad signs from the Saints. Today seven minutes into 549 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 5: the game, they're down twenty one nothing to the Lions. 550 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 5: I know that final score made it look competitive, but 551 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 5: it was ugly quickly there. And there's been a lot 552 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 5: of other warning signs of this team. Saints are thirty 553 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 5: first in a pass block win rate, so that line 554 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 5: is not performing. And now Brian burns that pass rush 555 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 5: for Carolina, I think they can make some problems there. 556 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 5: On the other side, the Saints are dead last in 557 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 5: pass rush win rate, so that bad Panthers offensive line. 558 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 5: Bryce Young, all the pressure he's faced, I think he'll 559 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 5: have a little bit more comfortability here. And then a 560 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 5: vaunted Saints defense that has been so good for like 561 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 5: half a decade, now thirtieth in DBA the last five 562 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 5: games entering the weekend, and then probably even worse after 563 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 5: this Lions game. And the offense has been bottom five 564 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 5: at home, so they've been much worse home than on 565 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 5: the road. And look, you know, I had to do 566 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 5: the gruesome stats here. Dennis Allen when he is favored 567 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 5: for his career five sixteen and one against the spread 568 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 5: as a favorite, twenty four percent cover rate, and he's 569 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 5: never been favored by more than six. We're getting six 570 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 5: and a half here. I don't think it's gonna close 571 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 5: that high. That's why we're grabbing it now. Which quarterback 572 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 5: Derek Carr got hurt in this game? I don't know 573 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 5: if he's playing. I don't really care. Derek Carr thirty 574 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 5: three percent cover rate as a favorite. He's lost fifteen 575 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 5: of the last twenty four. Outright, it was Jamis Winston 576 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 5: instead eight eighteen and one against the spread as a favorite, 577 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 5: thirty one percent cover rate, favored by more than three 578 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 5: two and nine against the spread, eighteen percent cover rate. 579 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 5: Jamis Carr Taysom Hill, I don't know somebody off the street. 580 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 4: I don't really care. 581 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 5: You're giving me some Saints quarterback and Dennis Allen favored 582 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 5: by almost a touchdown. I'm taking the Panthers every time. 583 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 5: The Scents have covered two times the entire season. They've 584 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 5: been favored in ten games. They're one eight and a 585 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 5: one against the spread in those games, fail to cover 586 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 5: by six points a game, by the way, fail to 587 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 5: cover by six in a six point spread. 588 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:34,919 Speaker 4: You might lose this game. 589 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 5: I'll tell you right now, I already miss betting against 590 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 5: Dennis Allen. And if they do lose this game, this 591 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 5: will be the last time we ever get to bet 592 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 5: against Dennis Allen. They already played Carolina once as Bryce 593 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 5: Young's second game ever. They only won by three points 594 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 5: that game. We're getting six and a half. Give me 595 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 5: the Panthers Week fourteen Hot reads Texans Jets under thirty 596 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 5: seven and the Panthers plus six and a half against 597 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 5: Dennis Allen and the Saints. 598 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 4: The Action Network podcast is presented by Bett MGM.

All right, V Well, 605 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 4: let's continue. Let's now look at colts Titans ultimate bonkers 606 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 4: AFC CEL game. Colts win thirty one to twenty eight, 607 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 4: and the Colts do covers one and a half point 608 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 4: favorites and the overhits of forty two and a half. 609 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 4: And you said you couldn't get there with the Colts, 610 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 4: Well they have one four straight. Now they're seven and five. 611 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 4: They had the seven seed coming into the game, they 612 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 4: still have it. I think, I do think it's very 613 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,880 Speaker 4: interesting right now that they actually have the tiebreaker over 614 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 4: the Texans. So right now the Texans still need to 615 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 4: do a little bit of work to get in. But 616 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 4: we still definitely could see three AFC South playoff teams 617 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 4: today this year. And Evan the. 618 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: Other thing too. 619 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 4: I know they gave up twenty eight points today, but 620 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 4: if you look at this win streak, and obviously some 621 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 4: of it is a little bit of crappy opponents, but 622 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 4: their defense has been holding out pretty well, only sixteen 623 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 4: and a half points allowed per game over the last 624 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 4: four winning streak theres so I think the Titans kind 625 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 4: of allowed them to get in there. The Titans actually 626 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 4: they came out fast, like two quick touchdowns from Derrick 627 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 4: Henry and that touchdown was with ten minutes to go, 628 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 4: but then the Titans offense didn't have a first down 629 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 4: again until the start of the fourth quarter. So and really, 630 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 4: I think the story that the main takeaway, Evan that 631 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,479 Speaker 4: I had from this game was Titans special teams just 632 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 4: really blew it today. They got decimated. Like the five 633 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 4: minute sequence. I need to break this down because I 634 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,239 Speaker 4: just find it. So, the Colts block punt and they 635 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 4: get a touchdown, they go up twenty two to seventeen. 636 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 4: The Colts go for two. Gardner Minshew throws a pick 637 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 4: give Titans two points back, and now it's twenty two 638 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 4: to nineteen, and then the Titans get the ball back 639 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 4: and another blocked punt. The Colts now have the ball. 640 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 4: The titansig zared line and they don't have their punter 641 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 4: for the rest of the game because Stonehouse he just 642 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 4: got rocked on that second hit. So I mean, the 643 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 4: game eventually goes to overtime. Titans get a field goal 644 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 4: on the first drive, and then they get a walk 645 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 4: off touchdown to Michael Pittman. So a little bit of luck, 646 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 4: a little bit of fluke there at the end, But 647 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 4: at the same time, the Colts are just finding ways 648 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 4: to win there's even some like even when you go 649 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 4: back to that game of the fact that one of 650 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 4: those seven wins is against the Baltimore Ravens, that with 651 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 4: Gardner Minshew that they won twenty two to nineteen. That's 652 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 4: still I think one of the crazier wins you can 653 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 4: think of of the outcomes for this season. But this 654 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 4: Colts team, man, they're just they're on their way up 655 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,239 Speaker 4: and they've got a schedule right now where it's a 656 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 4: lot of crappy quarterbacks on the docket right until the 657 00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 4: final week of the year. 658 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 2: Full disclosure, anyone who uh is watching the video portion 659 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 2: of this podcast on YouTube, I just can't sit still 660 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 2: when we're talking about the Colts, especially the game growth, 661 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 2: especially when you talking about I had the Titans today 662 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 2: and anybody we were we were live at the you 663 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 2: know Favorites podcast we did in Hope, O Con today 664 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 2: to Shipper and the Knucklehead and you know, Chad Millman 665 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 2: on the Titans, I'm on the Titans ever, you know, 666 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 2: and they were sitting there with a few Colts fans. 667 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 2: It's just it was brutal, Like you know, obviously you 668 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 2: talked about the punting so much went the other way, 669 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 2: and I just you know, every week it feels like 670 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 2: the Colts figure out a way behind Gardner Minshew to 671 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: you know, find their way across the finish line. You know, 672 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 2: Titans had more first downs, better third down percentage, more yards, 673 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 2: more rush yards, more possession, same amount of turnovers and 674 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 2: lost the game based off of a number of factors. Frustrating, uh, 675 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 2: you know, but is what it is. Listen, Colts ten 676 00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,600 Speaker 2: and two team total over this year. So maybe that's 677 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 2: where I'm failing to understand, is that their offense continues 678 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 2: to do things I don't get. And we always talked 679 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 2: about this, like Verabel underdog stat it's done well, but 680 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 2: they are four and six ATS's dogs this year, so 681 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 2: kind of reversing fashion a little bit. And then last 682 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 2: thing I'll note here Will Levis six career starts zero 683 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 2: and six in the second half, so maybe something to 684 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 2: watch in the future there. 685 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 4: Well, the Colts now their schedule coming up. They have 686 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 4: the Bengals with Jake Browning. They've got the Steelers potentially 687 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 4: with Mitch Trubisky because now Kenny Pickett is likely to 688 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 4: miss a few weeks with surgery to his ankle. Then 689 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 4: have to play Desmond Ritter and the Falcons then have 690 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 4: Aidan O'Connell and the Raiders, and then ended off with 691 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 4: the Texans, which may end up deciding the final playoff 692 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 4: spot depending on how the use two play the rest 693 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 4: of the year. Right, So that should be a very 694 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 4: interesting matchup to end off the season. Cardinals Steelers. Cardinals 695 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 4: went twenty four to ten, and the Steelers luck voodoo 696 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 4: gets flush down the toilet because at six and a 697 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 4: half point home favorites they do not cover or win 698 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 4: out right. The Cardinals shock them and the total goes 699 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 4: under of forty and a half. Really it's the Ravens 700 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 4: who end up being the big winners this week because 701 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 4: the Browns lost. We'll talk about that game with the 702 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 4: Rams in a little bit, and the Steelers are now 703 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 4: seven and five. I think this game could be summed 704 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 4: up from that one drive where the Steelers can't convert 705 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 4: on fourth down from the one yard line, and then 706 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 4: the Cardinals, who are arguably bottom three for sure in 707 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 4: the NFL, drive the entire field for a fifteen play, 708 00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 4: ninety nine yard touchdown drive that essentially won the game 709 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 4: because right after that Kenny Pickett got hurt. Mitch Trubisky's 710 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 4: in the game, and then there's a big weather delay 711 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 4: as well that kind of stalled the momentum of this game. 712 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 4: But yeah, to me, the thing that I take away 713 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,319 Speaker 4: from it is that Pickett's have been pretty injury prone 714 00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 4: now in his first couple of years. I'm not saying 715 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 4: it's a little bit of the protection from the Steelers, 716 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 4: because he's taken some pretty big hits. He's trying to 717 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,280 Speaker 4: hang out there in the pocket and he's just getting rocked. 718 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 4: And Trubisky is just such a big drop off from 719 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 4: Kenny Pickett, which just shows you how much the Steelers 720 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 4: quarterback situation is just in the toilet right now. 721 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to agree there. Trubisky definitely is a 722 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 2: decent drop off from Pickett. I don't know if it's 723 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 2: a ton, but they're definitely on. 724 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 4: The opening drive. I know Kenny Pickett could do that too, 725 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 4: but yeah, it's still pretty bad. 726 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 2: It's hard to decipher. A little bit. I looked back, 727 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:38,360 Speaker 2: Trubisky's had five starts with Pittsburgh, it's worth noting. I 728 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 2: guess he's owing two at home, so it hasn't won 729 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:41,360 Speaker 2: at home with Pittsburgh. 730 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,399 Speaker 4: His starting to come back against the Bucks last year. 731 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 4: That's the thing. 732 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 3: I read his. 733 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 2: Starts though, twenty four points, twenty seventeen, fourteen, twenty three, 734 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 2: so you could probably assume they're going to score about 735 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 2: that eighteen to twenty one mark with him in there. 736 00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 2: I mean, listen, the question I asked myself and we 737 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 2: even talked about it on convinced me this morning, is 738 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,319 Speaker 2: how long can Pittsburgh keep it up? 739 00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 3: Right? 740 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 4: They were? 741 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 2: There were seven and four, They had the minus two 742 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 2: point one straight up margin. They were. It just it 743 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 2: felt like a luck box. They were high in the 744 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 2: luck rankings. So this is this was their come down 745 00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 2: to moment, right like Arizona's defense stinks, like outright, their 746 00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 2: defense is not good. And the fact that this game 747 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 2: turned into what it was kind of just proves what 748 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh is. So new England coming up, Indy, coming up, 749 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 2: Cincinnati coming up. So you know, could they you know, 750 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,040 Speaker 2: maybe they'll roll off three in a row. But this was, 751 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 2: you know, one of the good moments. There was just 752 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 2: too many points. 753 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, Evans conclusion, the Steelers were exposed. This really all 754 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 4: comes down to, all right, Browns, Rams, let's talk that 755 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 4: game now. Rams win thirty six to nineteen rams do 756 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 4: cover his four point favorites and the over of forty 757 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 4: and a half hits and the combined age of quarterbacks 758 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 4: in this game was seventy three years old. Joe Flacco 759 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 4: thirty eight years old, starts for the Browns today and 760 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,680 Speaker 4: looked great right off the hop and then just completely 761 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 4: fell off a cliff in the second half. You know, 762 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 4: a couple turnovers in the second half, he was able 763 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,399 Speaker 4: to get it to twenty like he essentially about tied 764 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 4: the game with eight minutes to go. Dustin Hopkins misses 765 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,440 Speaker 4: that extra point, But once that happened, you kind of 766 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,919 Speaker 4: knew that this game mightn't go off the rails because 767 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 4: that was probably the Browns' best chance of keeping it close. 768 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 4: I don't know if they had another touchdown drive in them, 769 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 4: and they didn't, because that was the final score or 770 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,280 Speaker 4: at least final output for them. The Browns. To their defense, 771 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 4: I think that was another big thing is that if 772 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 4: you look at by the dv away defensive dv away, 773 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 4: they ranked very high near the top when it comes 774 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 4: to pass dv away and run dv away for that matter, 775 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,920 Speaker 4: and they were just allowing a ton of big plays today. 776 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 4: Seventy yard touchdown for pookin Nakula. Another big rushing It 777 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:57,800 Speaker 4: wasn't a touchdown, but almost a touchdown for pookin Nakua. 778 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 4: You just not used to seeing that on the Browns defense. 779 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 4: And yeah, so the Rams now, Evan, I think that's 780 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 4: the picture we need to look at because I think 781 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 4: the Browns are just still in really big trouble in 782 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 4: their quarterback situation. If Joe Flacco is there, I'm just 783 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 4: not sure they're going to be able to hang on 784 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 4: to the playoff spot at seven and five in the AFC. 785 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 4: But the Rams are really interesting now because they have 786 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 4: won three straight. They're six and six. They're gonna face 787 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 4: the Ravens here coming up next week, and then the 788 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 4: Commander's Saints, Giants and forty nine Ers, So it's not 789 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,440 Speaker 4: the road from hell, but also it's not an easy 790 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 4: road to maybe get to that NFC playoff spot here. 791 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 4: But what was your takeaway from Browns Rams? Was it 792 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 4: just essentially that the Browns just are completely overmatched with 793 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 4: Flacco a quarterback. 794 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 2: I think the Browns have a nice comparison to the 795 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 2: Jets in a sense, and they're kind of in similar 796 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 2: scenarios where you have tremendous defenses, where you can't find 797 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 2: enough offense, you can't find the right quarterback. Now, coach, 798 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 2: I will say that last year. 799 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 4: I just remember that. 800 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,720 Speaker 2: And the thing that's funny about this is I watched 801 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,719 Speaker 2: this game and I saw this comment a lot on Twitter, 802 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 2: and I kind of have to agree. It's just like 803 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,479 Speaker 2: Black Oat didn't play awful in two hundred and fifty 804 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 2: four passing yards, two touchdowns, you had the one interception, 805 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 2: but honestly, they were trying to come back and it 806 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 2: was a little bit of force. But if you compare 807 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 2: it to what you've seen in New York, it's just 808 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 2: it's unbelievable to me and I, you know, this is 809 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 2: a very separate conversation with the Jets in terms of 810 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 2: why they haven't gone outside the building more than they 811 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 2: have to find an option. But Cleveland's in the picture. 812 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 2: This is their first two game losing streak of the year. 813 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,760 Speaker 2: This is the first time they're looking at a skid. 814 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:39,919 Speaker 2: They probably wouldn't be looking at this type of skit 815 00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,919 Speaker 2: if they had a decent offensive, you know, output week 816 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 2: to week. So I think that's Cleveland's side of it. Now, 817 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 2: the Rams, I think week to week they're better than 818 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 2: we thought they were going to be in the preseason, 819 00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 2: and I think they've kind of kept that week to 820 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,839 Speaker 2: week right. That's why they're still in the picture. They're 821 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,240 Speaker 2: gonna go to Baltimore next week. They're probably gonna lose. 822 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 2: I think those next two games after that are absolutely vital. 823 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,799 Speaker 2: Like you said, versus Washington versus New Orleans, a two 824 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,000 Speaker 2: to zero would go a long way. But that's kind 825 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 2: of my outlook now. Between Cup and Pooka and Karen Williams, 826 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 2: you know, you have a lot of options in the 827 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 2: Rams and I didn't think we would think they'd be 828 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 2: that good, but they're dangerous week to week. 829 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 4: Let's move to another game in the NFC between the 830 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 4: Dolphins and Commanders, battle between AFC and NFC, where the 831 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 4: Dolphins just completely crushed them today forty five to fifteen. 832 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 4: The Dolphins cover is nine and a half point favorites 833 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,120 Speaker 4: over Hits very easily. At forty nine and a half. 834 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 4: The must have been this might have been one of 835 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 4: the least sweatiest overs of the year, other than maybe 836 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 4: Dolphins Broncos where they scored seventy. Because the total was 837 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 4: at forty five Honestly, I don't think I really took 838 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:49,759 Speaker 4: a lot away from this game of what I learned 839 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 4: from Miami, other than it was nice to see them 840 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 4: put up forty on the road in poor weather as well, 841 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 4: especially not that comfort of playing in Miami. And then 842 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,399 Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill. I mean, if you're gonna leave them wide 843 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,760 Speaker 4: open for a seventy five yard touchdown, that you deserve 844 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 4: to lose. And it was the worst possible matchup for 845 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 4: the Commanders because coming into this game or they were 846 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,680 Speaker 4: the worst pass defense in the NFL, they were lasted 847 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 4: defensive Dboway, and you decided to play man coverage and 848 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 4: no safety help on Tyreek Hill, which is just all right, 849 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 4: I guess you want to lose that game. And I 850 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 4: mean once they were up thirty eight to seven, I 851 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 4: was just like, all right, no, Mas, I can't watch 852 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 4: this game anymore. 853 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 3: Yeah. 854 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 2: Well, as Simon actually mentioned it on a favorite other day, 855 00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,879 Speaker 2: Washington might be on a no bet list. We might 856 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 2: have to just like take a minute. They do have 857 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,880 Speaker 2: a bye week next week, so they're definitely going to 858 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 2: be under no by bet list for that. But at 859 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,440 Speaker 2: Rams at Jets, so maybe at Rams you just got 860 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 2: to take a week because right now I am kind 861 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 2: of intrigued by Washington week to week getting as many 862 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 2: points as they are because because I do feel like 863 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 2: they can put up points that didn't matter at all here. 864 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:52,640 Speaker 2: I mean, this is an absolute blow. And I think 865 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:55,480 Speaker 2: you made a really good point about Miami scoring in 866 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 2: a bad situation on the road that many I think 867 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 2: it's a good thing for them. It's a good thing 868 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 2: to see you away from South Beach. It's worth noting 869 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill one four eighty one receiving yards, most for 870 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 2: any player through twelve games since nineteen sixty one. He 871 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 2: is four hundred and eighty four receiving yards away from 872 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,320 Speaker 2: breaking Calvin Johnson's record, and it is week thirteen. 873 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,479 Speaker 4: And let's talk Okay, So let's talk about that. Because 874 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,759 Speaker 4: the Dolphins upcoming schedule, I feel like he could do 875 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 4: that or at least put a big dent in that 876 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,360 Speaker 4: next week, facing the Titans, who are bottom five and 877 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,399 Speaker 4: DVLWA to wide receiver one, they're one of the worst 878 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,799 Speaker 4: teams in DVOWA versus the deep pass, So that could 879 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,399 Speaker 4: be another game where he could be going for another 880 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty yards, maybe even two touchdowns. But 881 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 4: I say that because they've got the Titans and the 882 00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 4: Jets coming up. Those are two games that I think 883 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 4: they could win. But the final three games of the 884 00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 4: year are going to be a test for the Dolphins. 885 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 4: They're gonna play the Cowboys, and then they're gonna play 886 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 4: the Ravens, and then they're gonna play likely a Bills 887 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,319 Speaker 4: team that is just cliing to survive to try to 888 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 4: make if there is even a chance by that point 889 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,960 Speaker 4: of Week eighteen to make the wild card game. So 890 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 4: I think the Dolphins there is still very comfortable position 891 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,719 Speaker 4: to win the AFC East. I'm just not confident with 892 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 4: that final three games that I would feel great about 893 00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 4: looking at them for a conference like one seed bet 894 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,800 Speaker 4: like where they're at right now, especially with where the 895 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 4: Ravens are at nine and three depending on how this 896 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 4: Chiefs Packers game goes, and then of course the Jaguars, 897 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 4: who likely go to nine and three. I think I 898 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 4: could say that playing the Bengals, what we'll see, you know, 899 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 4: But so do you think from a Dolphins perspective, we're 900 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 4: just looking at them going forward? What's your optimism here? 901 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 4: Is it you got to get a home playoff game, 902 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:38,800 Speaker 4: and we'll see where it goes. 903 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think from now Listen, it's funny 904 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 2: saying this after watching them put up this performance on 905 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 2: the road and in bad conditions in Washington, But I normally, 906 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,400 Speaker 2: probably prior to I would have said a home playoff 907 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 2: game would have been very important for them versus maybe 908 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,760 Speaker 2: some other teams that could have dealt with some conditions. 909 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,520 Speaker 2: They dealt with some pretty good conditions. You know that 910 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 2: Washington Field he's always talked about, is pretty bad in himself, 911 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 2: so the performance is good. But yeah, I mean, I 912 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 2: think from a from what they do in Miami and 913 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 2: how comfortable they're in the building, and you know that 914 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,799 Speaker 2: late in the year, it's not like you're gonna get 915 00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,439 Speaker 2: a super hot Miami it doesn't really matter. I don't 916 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,760 Speaker 2: think their fan base is you know, exceptionally rabbit either, 917 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 2: so you know, I think their offense would travel, So 918 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 2: I'm not exactly sure how vital it is, but be nice. 919 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean Devon a Chan was a big, 920 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,799 Speaker 4: big return for them today. He scored a touchdown, got 921 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,200 Speaker 4: a lot of work too, just to that way, you 922 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 4: don't have to put everything on Raheem Moster. But the 923 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,480 Speaker 4: fact that you could have a two headed threat like 924 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 4: that from Miami, who's already top three in rush yards 925 00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,839 Speaker 4: per game. So they're a very versatile offense, and just 926 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:49,959 Speaker 4: it should be very interesting the way they will match 927 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 4: up against the team like the Cowboys and the Ravens, 928 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:53,760 Speaker 4: because we've seen how they match up against the Bills, 929 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 4: but two other teams that try to get in like 930 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,279 Speaker 4: a track me kind of thing. So all right, let's 931 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 4: wrap this up. There's three games left, two of them 932 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 4: from the NFC South. We kind of touched on them 933 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:04,239 Speaker 4: a little bit earlier, but I want to talk a 934 00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 4: little bit more about it, just as the we'll group 935 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 4: them together here. Panthers Buccaneers, Bucks win twenty one to eighteen. 936 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,800 Speaker 4: The total thirty six and a half does go over 937 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,080 Speaker 4: despite being in a insane monsoon there for a little 938 00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,200 Speaker 4: bit in the first half. The rain did clear out 939 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,480 Speaker 4: a little bit, but despite being the first eliminated team 940 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 4: from playoff contention, Panthers do the Lord's work and they 941 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,440 Speaker 4: covered that three and a half, and they sealed the 942 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 4: over by getting that two point convert on that Chewbobber 943 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 4: touchdown with five minutes to go, and then the Bucks 944 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,200 Speaker 4: converted a couple first downs and that was the game. 945 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 4: So I know that there were people that in my 946 00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,480 Speaker 4: circle who were holding a Panthers ticket and were holding 947 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 4: an overticket in this game, and they were both just 948 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,160 Speaker 4: over the moon when that two point convert hit. 949 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, dead cat bounce as we call it. So you 950 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 2: got the one week Carolina win. So now those fired 951 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 2: teams one week after go twenty one and sixteen against 952 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:02,160 Speaker 2: the spread. So decent, especially when you think about those 953 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,720 Speaker 2: teams with thirty seven percent ats prior to that coaching fire. 954 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 2: So I would assume Carolina after getting eliminated, you probably 955 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 2: go back to not really betting them week to week. 956 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 4: No, I don't think so, especially because Mike Evans has 957 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,120 Speaker 4: just own that matchup Mike Evans as well. I think 958 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:22,280 Speaker 4: it's worth acknowledging ten straight years of one thousand yards receiving. 959 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 4: No other player in NFL history has six. He had 960 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,759 Speaker 4: five catches for one hundred and sixty yards and a 961 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,320 Speaker 4: touchdown today seventy five yard touchdown. Doctor Nick Giffon cash 962 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,759 Speaker 4: on his touchdown bet today as well at plus one 963 00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 4: to eighty. But also the Falcons Jets, so the Bucks 964 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 4: are at five and seven now in the NFC South 965 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,400 Speaker 4: but the Falcons of the Jets. The Falcons win thirteen 966 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,920 Speaker 4: to eight. That is correct, It's not a high scoring 967 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,760 Speaker 4: baseball game. That was the final score in an NFL 968 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 4: game between two NFL offenses. The Falcons went thirteen to eight. 969 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 4: Falcons do cover though, as two point favorites and the 970 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,200 Speaker 4: under of thirty three and a half hits. I mean, 971 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,960 Speaker 4: it was ten to five at halftime. It was probably 972 00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 4: about twelve more points than I thought we'd see at halftime, 973 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 4: a thirteen to eight final score. I mean, Tim Boyle 974 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:10,720 Speaker 4: was so bad that Robert Style went to Trevor Simeon 975 00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 4: today for the Jets situation. So I just don't think 976 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 4: there's any way that Aaron Rodgers is coming back now. 977 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 4: The Jets schedule is still pretty hard. They're four and eight. 978 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 4: I think it's a fun story for maybe two seconds 979 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,719 Speaker 4: for TMZ, but I just can't do it from a 980 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 4: Jet standpoint. So I think we could just stop talking 981 00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 4: about them where it's going to be from a wildcard standpoint. 982 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,959 Speaker 4: But the NFC South Evan now the Falcons six and six, 983 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 4: Saints five and seven, Bucks five and seven. As I 984 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 4: was mentioned earlier, like the Falcons and the Bucks are 985 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,400 Speaker 4: going to be playing here coming up, and if the 986 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 4: Bucks win that game, they're right back in the driver's 987 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:44,760 Speaker 4: seat now for the lead in the NFC. 988 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:47,080 Speaker 2: South Man, I don't know what to do with this division. 989 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:51,759 Speaker 2: In the preseason, I like the Falcons. I continue to 990 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 2: prefer the Falcons especially. I know Godwin looked okay today, 991 00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,640 Speaker 2: but he's been injured and I think that really hurts 992 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,279 Speaker 2: the Bucks. And the Saints are an absolute mess right now, 993 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:04,960 Speaker 2: especially their receiving corps really banged up. So Atlantis seems 994 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,399 Speaker 2: like the good call. I just don't trust Desmond Ritter, 995 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 2: and he's played better than Heineke, so I kind of 996 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 2: have to just take a deep breath and allow him 997 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,560 Speaker 2: to play quarterback in this offense and hope that he's 998 00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,080 Speaker 2: not the reason that they end up kind of giving 999 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:22,800 Speaker 2: the games away. Talking about the Jets just for one second, 1000 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,840 Speaker 2: because I think this one number is just incredible. So 1001 00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,319 Speaker 2: they were two for fifteen on third down today, So 1002 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 2: two for fifteen on third down thirty seven of one 1003 00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,960 Speaker 2: sixty on third down for the season. That twenty three 1004 00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,920 Speaker 2: point one percent would be the worst for any team 1005 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,480 Speaker 2: in the wild Card Era through twelve games. So that 1006 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 2: is kind of The encapsulating number for the Jets this 1007 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:46,080 Speaker 2: year is they're just making it really really hard on themselves, 1008 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 2: which is inherently making it more difficult on the defense, 1009 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,560 Speaker 2: and you're seeing the output. 1010 00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,759 Speaker 4: And that's gotten worse as the year is going on. 1011 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,319 Speaker 4: They were at like around twenty five to twenty eight 1012 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 4: percent and we were making fun of how it was going, 1013 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 4: and then over the last couple of games games, it's 1014 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 4: just gotten worse now where it's just like, oh, man, 1015 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 4: like that kind of like hurts my heart to watch. 1016 00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:08,480 Speaker 4: Now it's almost just watching like a rotting corpse, Like 1017 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,600 Speaker 4: I can't, I can't do it anymore, all right. But 1018 00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 4: now another game I can do, though, is watching the 1019 00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:16,800 Speaker 4: Patriots tank job. Because the Chargers win six to nothing 1020 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,600 Speaker 4: over the Patriots today, the total of thirty eight and 1021 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 4: a half, which did go up by the way before kickoff, 1022 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,480 Speaker 4: it was around thirty six and went up to thirty 1023 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:27,799 Speaker 4: eight and a half by kickoff. It still goes comfortably 1024 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,960 Speaker 4: under and the Chargers do cover is four and a 1025 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,680 Speaker 4: half points favorites. But I think the main takeaway from 1026 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 4: this game is the race to the first pick, because 1027 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 4: the Patriots now fall to two and ten, but the Cardinals. 1028 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 4: With that win over the Steelers, see that position. Now 1029 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,640 Speaker 4: they are three and nine around the third position. We'll 1030 00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,560 Speaker 4: see how that shakes out, but the Panthers still comfortably 1031 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,600 Speaker 4: at one and eleven for the race to draft potentially 1032 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:55,680 Speaker 4: Caleb Williams. 1033 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,640 Speaker 2: All I'll say is this, I've got some tickets on 1034 00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,560 Speaker 2: New England to have the worst racker in the NFL. 1035 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,160 Speaker 2: I've got some tickets on them to have the fewest 1036 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,279 Speaker 2: offensive points. Let's just keep it up. That's all I 1037 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,600 Speaker 2: got asked for. All I'm asking for is just a 1038 00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:11,960 Speaker 2: bunch a few more zeros, some more field goals, and 1039 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,240 Speaker 2: we're just gonna be fine. 1040 00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 4: I mean, the Patriots defense did play well, though they've 1041 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,200 Speaker 4: had three straight games now where they've held an opponent 1042 00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 4: to ten points or less and have not won a game. 1043 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,360 Speaker 4: And looking that up, that was the first time I 1044 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:29,920 Speaker 4: believe since like nineteen thirty eight and Bailey's appy he 1045 00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,319 Speaker 4: got sacked in Chargers territory their one loan red zone 1046 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:37,080 Speaker 4: trip three straight times. The Chargers finished with five sacks 1047 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,400 Speaker 4: for the game. Again, I'm not sure if this is 1048 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,719 Speaker 4: rock bottom for the Patriots, but again, the tank job 1049 00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:46,040 Speaker 4: just continues and the Chargers all they had to do 1050 00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:47,440 Speaker 4: was just show up and you got the win. 1051 00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. I believe it was our first shutout at home 1052 00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 2: since twenty sixteen. Patriots now two to ten against the 1053 00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:54,840 Speaker 2: spread this year, so that would be the worst in 1054 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,200 Speaker 2: the NFL. Also, they've never been to in ten ats 1055 00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 2: in the history of they're franchise, So this is and 1056 00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,759 Speaker 2: absolute worse for them. And honestly, if you're a fan 1057 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,040 Speaker 2: of the team, you just wanted to get worse and 1058 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:09,160 Speaker 2: worse and worse because you might as well just head 1059 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:09,960 Speaker 2: to where you're gonna go. 1060 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,240 Speaker 4: Well, now you're gonna have an even more fun matchup 1061 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 4: next week. When the total is that probably a twenty 1062 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,360 Speaker 4: nine and a half between the Patriots and the Steelers 1063 00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 4: for this one, Yeah, give it to me. 1064 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,640 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. So right now, it's thirty two and a half. 1065 00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 2: Last time I looked, and it would be tied. Well, 1066 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,360 Speaker 2: it's the lowest over under for any game this season, 1067 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,400 Speaker 2: because thirty three and a half was the one before that, 1068 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,560 Speaker 2: But it would be tied for the lowest total for 1069 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:39,520 Speaker 2: any game since December two thousand and eight, and it 1070 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,840 Speaker 2: is the lowest total in a night game since Bears 1071 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,759 Speaker 2: Falcons two thousand and five, which was thirty one. That 1072 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 2: was Kyle Orton versus Michael Vick. 1073 00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 4: And I would put money on the idea that that's 1074 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,160 Speaker 4: a good number because that number will go down by 1075 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:55,520 Speaker 4: the time you get to kick off. I think the 1076 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 4: public will get very much behind that once they see 1077 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,440 Speaker 4: the quarterback matchup, and once we'd learn a little bit 1078 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:04,840 Speaker 4: more about Trubisky and potentially Bailey Zappy facing off in 1079 00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:08,000 Speaker 4: the matchup of week fourteen. All right, so that's all 1080 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,680 Speaker 4: the Sunday games. Let's now check in with Patrick Everson 1081 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:13,440 Speaker 4: with Vegas Insider to see how sportsbooks fared in Las 1082 00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:14,920 Speaker 4: Vegas for week thirteen. 1083 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,400 Speaker 3: Hie again, Jill, thanks for having me on the Action 1084 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:22,360 Speaker 3: Network podcast this week. This has been a pretty entertaining 1085 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:27,359 Speaker 3: NFL Sunday NFL week the public rolls once again. This 1086 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,080 Speaker 3: is two weeks in a row where a whole lot 1087 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,960 Speaker 3: of favorites have come through, and that's obviously been very 1088 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,440 Speaker 3: good for betters and definitely a bit of a beatdown 1089 00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,360 Speaker 3: for the bookmakers. This could have been an absolute blood 1090 00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,200 Speaker 3: letting on Sunday, and it was. It was close as 1091 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:44,440 Speaker 3: it almost was, but even then, it was still a 1092 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,440 Speaker 3: pretty good day for betters. Here in Vegas and at 1093 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,960 Speaker 3: sportsbooks across the country. And the reason was, look, in 1094 00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,560 Speaker 3: those first ten games leading up into the Sunday night game, 1095 00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:55,319 Speaker 3: you had the favorites go nine to one straight up, 1096 00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,719 Speaker 3: eight and two against the spread. The only favorite that 1097 00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,360 Speaker 3: lost was the Steelers. Nobody really is betting on the Steelers. 1098 00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,319 Speaker 3: They know that that show is smoking mirrors. And that 1099 00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,840 Speaker 3: was proven today against Arizona, which they lost, and I 1100 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:08,879 Speaker 3: had Arizona on. 1101 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:09,680 Speaker 4: The money line. 1102 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 3: I just knew that game was coming and there It 1103 00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:14,279 Speaker 3: was so a nice little win for me today Joe 1104 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:17,479 Speaker 3: q public as well. But the thing, like I said, 1105 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,319 Speaker 3: eight and two against the spread going into the night 1106 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,440 Speaker 3: game with the Chiefs and the Packers, and everything was 1107 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 3: running to the Chiefs. Tons of moneyline parlays, surely a 1108 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 3: whole lot of teasers, straight bet parlays and so forth. 1109 00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 3: It was all running to Kansas City. And in fact, 1110 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,520 Speaker 3: Scott Shelton after the day on fold of the way 1111 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:38,319 Speaker 3: it did with the favorites doing so well, I texted him, 1112 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 3: he's with betam GM here in Las Vegas. I asked 1113 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,040 Speaker 3: him how badly do you need the Packers tonight? And 1114 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 3: he said, really bad. We are taking a dull axe 1115 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,359 Speaker 3: to the back of our head today. That's pretty good quote, 1116 00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,440 Speaker 3: a dull axe to the back of our head today. 1117 00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,279 Speaker 3: So such was the state of the sports books and 1118 00:53:56,360 --> 00:54:00,279 Speaker 3: how well the sports betters were doing. Now, obviously Kansas 1119 00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,919 Speaker 3: City doesn't get there for the betters. Tonight Packers get 1120 00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:07,200 Speaker 3: the outright win twenty seven to nineteen, so that helped 1121 00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,600 Speaker 3: give a little bit back to the books. But Scott 1122 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,239 Speaker 3: Shelton said what that Packer win did was prevented a 1123 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,600 Speaker 3: historically bad Sunday and turned it into just a bad Sunday, 1124 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 3: And a couple of other odds makers said likewise. One 1125 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,240 Speaker 3: other one that I talked to here in Las Vegas 1126 00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 3: said it helped us for sure to have Green Bay 1127 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,800 Speaker 3: win outright, but he said the damage was done and 1128 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,520 Speaker 3: we still had a tough day, but the Packers winning 1129 00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,360 Speaker 3: prevented it from being really awful. Looking ahead to the 1130 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,359 Speaker 3: Monday night game, this is from Bedam Jim a little 1131 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:36,400 Speaker 3: bit earlier on Sunday, So as this unfolds on Monday, 1132 00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,759 Speaker 3: this is going to probably change to some degree, But 1133 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 3: I do think the Jaguars are going to be very 1134 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,279 Speaker 3: much the public play. But going into Sunday at least 1135 00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,640 Speaker 3: tickets and money on the spread were a little more 1136 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,600 Speaker 3: than two to one in favor of the Jaguars against 1137 00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:51,680 Speaker 3: the Bengals, and obviously the Bengals were out with Joe 1138 00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:54,759 Speaker 3: Burrow very much shorthanded, so a little over two to 1139 00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:56,239 Speaker 3: one tickets and money on the spread in favor of 1140 00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,960 Speaker 3: Jacksonville on the money line if you're interested in that 1141 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,840 Speaker 3: as well, even on tickets at bet MGM. This is 1142 00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:04,040 Speaker 3: betem GM nationwide, by the way, not just bet them 1143 00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,680 Speaker 3: gym here in Vegas dead even on money line tickets, 1144 00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 3: but two to one money line cash again on the Jaguars. 1145 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 3: So they're even laying that juice up to minus four 1146 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,080 Speaker 3: fifty or so on Jacksonville this line, because this line 1147 00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:17,479 Speaker 3: has gone up quite a bit. I think it opened 1148 00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,279 Speaker 3: seven and a half and it's up to nine and 1149 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,680 Speaker 3: a half, I believe, so plenty of interest in Jacksonville 1150 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:27,520 Speaker 3: on Monday night, although if people had their Monday line 1151 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 3: and parlays going to the Chiefs and then onward to 1152 00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:31,879 Speaker 3: the Jags, well a lot of that probably got blown 1153 00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 3: up with the Chiefs losing outright now, looking ahead to 1154 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,719 Speaker 3: NFL Week fourteen odds already on the board and I 1155 00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 3: talked to an odds maker on this Sunday night here 1156 00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,960 Speaker 3: in Las Vegas about several of the key matchups this week, 1157 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 3: the more notable games coming up in this next week. Specifically, 1158 00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,560 Speaker 3: we talked about the Sunday night football game gonna be 1159 00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,880 Speaker 3: a dandy. You got the Eagles at the Cowboys. The 1160 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,759 Speaker 3: Eagles are gonna be sore, They're gonna be peeved. They're 1161 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,520 Speaker 3: coming off getting embarrassed at home by the Niners. I mean, look, 1162 00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,160 Speaker 3: it's no shame losing to the Niners, but the Eagles 1163 00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,440 Speaker 3: got rocked. I mean forty two to nineteen. The Niners 1164 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:06,239 Speaker 3: went up and down the field on Philly. So the 1165 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:08,759 Speaker 3: Eagles are certainly going to be not in a good 1166 00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,960 Speaker 3: moods as they head to Dallas. But Dallas is on a. 1167 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 4: Four game win streak. 1168 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,680 Speaker 3: Put up forty one points in Week thirteen against Seattle 1169 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:19,279 Speaker 3: at home with granted it took all they had to 1170 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,640 Speaker 3: beat Seattle. They beat Seattle forty one thirty five, did 1171 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 3: not cover. They were nine nine and a half point 1172 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,759 Speaker 3: favorites the Cowboys were did not cover that number. But 1173 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,359 Speaker 3: Dallas has won four in a row and now they're 1174 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,480 Speaker 3: at home against Philly again. Philly is probably going to 1175 00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:32,200 Speaker 3: be pretty hungry. What the oddsmaker did with this game 1176 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,279 Speaker 3: is opened the Cowboys minus three. Dallas quickly moved to 1177 00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:37,400 Speaker 3: minus three and a half and then kind of settled 1178 00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,600 Speaker 3: at three minus one twenty. I'm talking to you late 1179 00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 3: Sunday night. I think there's been a shift back to 1180 00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:46,480 Speaker 3: Dallas three and a half even money with this odds maker. 1181 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:48,920 Speaker 3: So he said that this isn't a clear cut one 1182 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,520 Speaker 3: sided betting game. He said the public still has trust 1183 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:56,040 Speaker 3: in Philly overall, which the public should because Jill Philly 1184 00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:57,960 Speaker 3: is ten and two, so there's plenty of reason, and 1185 00:56:57,960 --> 00:56:59,879 Speaker 3: they're pretty good against the spread as well, I think 1186 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,520 Speaker 3: seven three and two. So look, the public's not going 1187 00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 3: to jump off that bus just yet, but certainly there's 1188 00:57:04,560 --> 00:57:06,239 Speaker 3: going to be a fair amount of public play on 1189 00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:09,440 Speaker 3: Dallas this week. What he did say is Eagles Cowboys 1190 00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:14,239 Speaker 3: will be a very high handle game. Kansas City, as 1191 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 3: we talked about upset road loss against the Packers in 1192 00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,120 Speaker 3: week thirteen, open minus three at home against the Bills 1193 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:22,520 Speaker 3: for week fourteen. 1194 00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:24,080 Speaker 4: Now that opening number went. 1195 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,280 Speaker 3: Up before Kansas City lost to Green Bay twenty seven 1196 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:31,680 Speaker 3: to nineteen, and Buffalo coming off of buye and desperate 1197 00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:33,800 Speaker 3: with a six and six record. The oddsmaker said the 1198 00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 3: Bills are power rated much higher than that six and 1199 00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 3: six record, but he expects the book is going to 1200 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,080 Speaker 3: be rooting hard for Buffalo here. He doesn't think the 1201 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 3: public's going to jump on board, even though Buffalo has 1202 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,880 Speaker 3: got a better power rating than its record. Public's going 1203 00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,600 Speaker 3: to be all over the Chiefs, especially coming off a 1204 00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:52,880 Speaker 3: loss and returning home. Now the aforementioned forty nine ers 1205 00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:57,840 Speaker 3: fresh off a phenomenal and very impressive win at Philadelphia 1206 00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,160 Speaker 3: again forty two to nineteen, in case you miss it. 1207 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,919 Speaker 3: So San Fran opens is a twelve and a half 1208 00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:06,280 Speaker 3: point home favorite against Seattle. Seattle just a few weeks ago. 1209 00:58:06,320 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 3: This was a team everybody was you know, intrigued by 1210 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:10,960 Speaker 3: and thought would be in the playoff mix. They're gonna 1211 00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 3: have to fight their way back into the Seahawks are 1212 00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,560 Speaker 3: The odds maker said, San Fran has turned back into 1213 00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:18,280 Speaker 3: the buzz saw. It was early in the season, no question. 1214 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,760 Speaker 3: After that win over Philly. He added that this line 1215 00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:23,960 Speaker 3: might trend toward minus ten, might see it, you know, 1216 00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,440 Speaker 3: shift that direction a little bit, but he said he 1217 00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:29,560 Speaker 3: fully expects the book is going to need a Seattle 1218 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,520 Speaker 3: cover in that Seahawks Niners game. 1219 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:33,720 Speaker 4: So there we have it. 1220 00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:36,800 Speaker 3: Jill, a little look at how NFL Week thirteen went 1221 00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:38,520 Speaker 3: behind the counter and on our side of the counter. 1222 00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,040 Speaker 3: Another good week for public betters. Quick look at that 1223 00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,160 Speaker 3: Bengals Jaguars Monday Night game and a look ahead to 1224 00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:47,920 Speaker 3: some of the key matchups in NFL Week fourteen. Have 1225 00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:48,560 Speaker 3: a great week. 1226 00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:50,960 Speaker 4: Okay, thank you, Patrick.
