Speaker 1: can't help but smiling. It's going to be a doozy,

00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: so I'm in listen, buddy. There are very few days

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: like today, very few days where every red zone switch

11
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: for the first ninety minutes of the day. I counted

12
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: it was two thirty three, and I made a note.

13
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: There hasn't been a switch to a game yet where

14
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: that game wasn't going our way. Every circle in the

15
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: Action app was green. Don't don't give me your I'm professional,

16
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm cool bullshit right now. Even for a pro a

17
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: day like today, a four and oh start with one

18
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: game remaining, it feels good.

19
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely feels good. Exciting day. Won a lot

20
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: of money. The fans want a bunch of money, and

21
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: you know that's that's at the end of the day,

22
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 2: it's all I really care about. So yeah, definitely. Uh,

23
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: like you said, I feel like the first hour and

24
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: a half was amazing and that final hour was horrible

25
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: with the Bears collapse and the Rams collapse, and it

26
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: was just like what is going on? Like those are

27
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: such good reads, but luckily both when exactly as we plan.

28
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: I just you want to take the Bears in our

29
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: money line around Robin, I said that team doesn't know

30
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: how to win, and they really don't. They're one of

31
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: the best tanking teams we've ever seen. So yeah, Chad,

32
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: Chad's living the highlight for now as much is one

33
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 2: to admit it. Picks one and two and maybe one

34
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: of the greatest receivers ever in college, one of the

35
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 2: greatest quarterbacks ever in college. Fucking hey, it's got to

36
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 2: be pretty excited to be a Bears fan. Even for that.

37

73
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: With the Jets remaining at nine and a half games,

74
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: we considered but passed on Baltimore plus two and a half,

75
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: Houston plus two and a half. Okay, Buffalo minus two

76
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: and a half. Let's talk about this. It was the

77
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: biggest bet. You and I were all in on it

78
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: from the beginning of the week. It was our Simon

79
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: says bet. On Tuesday, we worried it was going to

80
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: go higher. I was curious, like it was interesting to me.

81
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: I love this from the second in post. And we

82
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: talked about it on Sunday night and I knew you

83
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: liked it, but you have a hard time getting over

84
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: sort of the matrix of the Miami offense. And I

85
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: think it took like to the middle of the week

86
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: before there was full analysis, before you decided it was

87
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: going to be one of your biggest bets of the year.

88
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're also seeing me on Sunday Night Chat after

89
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: I lost a nice car. It's that's gonna I'm gonna

90
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 2: say some crazy shit. So yeah, I want it back

91
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: in there or something. And that's that's gambling. That's why

92
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: I know why people people get pissed at me, where

93
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, this guy's so chill or so laid

94
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: back when they lose. And it's like, you'll never catch

95
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: me panicking on a two and three a week, Like

96
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 2: I say it all the time, me and Chad. If

97
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: we have a great season, that's sixty percent. I mean

98
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: six times I'll be right, four times I will be wrong.

99
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: And that just comes to the territory like people are

100
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: gonna talk shit to me to pull a bitch about stuff.

101
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: It does no good for me to dwell on the chat.

102
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: I told you it's always on the next weekend. This week. Yeah,

103
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: you're right, Sunday night, I was like, I can't get

104
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: it on those bills. I can't do it. And I

105
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: woke up Monday morning, I was like, what's like, that's

106
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: the spot, just the spot you take them in bet

107
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: it all week, a couple of books, I think hit

108
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 2: three finally today and still a bunch of two and

109
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: a half's there by kickoff. So definitely that's that's the dream.

110
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: Like you keep betting stuff. They don't move it because

111
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: the public money's coming so heavy on Miami. And did

112
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: I think Miami was going to completely la an eggle

113
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: like they did? No, it was what we saw in

114
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: the very beginning of the first quarter. I think it

115
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: was like twenty one to fourteen back and forth, and

116
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: I was like, this is what me and Chat talked about.

117
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a back and forth game. And all

118
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 2: of a sudden, that Bill's defense just flipped to what

119
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: they've been so great at, which is turning the ball

120
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 2: over and putting pressure on the quarterback. And you know,

121
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: they had a major injury. I forget which corner went down,

122
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: but it was a big one. And yeah, that is

123
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: say it again, big deal for them going forward, Like

124
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 2: he's incredible so that that's tough for Bill's going forward.

125
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 2: But we talked Josh Allen MVP chat and that Josh

126
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 2: Allen showed up and till it didn't have a bad game.

127
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: It was just the expectations were so high. If he

128
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: didn't win that game, no matter what we talked about,

129
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: he was gonna come cratering back down and all the

130
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: MVP betting and all that. So yeah, it always nice

131
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: to be head of the market and have things go

132
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: to game plan.

133
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 1: We talked about Josh Allen and everyone should go watch

134
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: the Favorites Film Room episodes. These are these ten minute

135
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: YouTube only videos that Simon and I are doing on

136
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: Wednesdays and we're picking out plays from Sunday and thinking

137
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: about how they're going to impact what we're looking at

138
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: for the following week. And Simon, both of the games

139
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: we talk about today are two of the games we

140
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: talked about today. We're featured in that both of them

141
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: won for the reasons we said they were going to

142
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: win as bets, and you talked about Josh Allen ten

143
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: to one MVP. I guarantee when we wake up tomorrow

144
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: or wake up on Tuesday, those odds are considerably lower.

145
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: And I feel much much smarter for having bet that.

146
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: At ten to one Wednesday.

147
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: Our guy Evan said, he's already favorite. He's already moved

148
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: to the favorite right now, come on? Yeah, oh my god. Again,

149
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 2: it's how we predicted that was the game of the week.

150
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: And even if he hadn't played a guy as good

151
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 2: as he was, I thought he would be. But he

152
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: played perfect. He had almost basically a perfect game in

153
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: the biggest game of the week. So yeah, he is.

154
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: Can I give you a stat in the fourth quarter?

155
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: I forgot what the Bills were ahead, but they were dominating. Uh,

156
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: the Bills were in the red zone for Miami at

157
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: that point in the game. Josh Allen had four touchdown

158
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: passes and three incompletions, and on the on that play,

159
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: the very first snap of the fourth quarter, he ran

160
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: into the end zone for a touchdown.

161
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: Wow.

162
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the guy was just totally dominant. I

163
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: do wonder, I do wonder, like Christian McCaffrey today was

164
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: so good, Evan, I don't know what you're seeing, Evan Abrams,

165
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: Who's who's with us doing some some research on all

166
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: these games? If you're seeing anything with McCaffrey, because Simon.

167
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: We talked about McCaffrey as one at seventy five to one. Yeah,

168
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: that was a nice four touchdowns.

169
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: Today, should have been five. I was so mad that

170
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: gave that sneak to party. It's like, I know that

171
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: was so weak.

172
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: He could have tied Ricky Waters and Jerry Rice for

173
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: most touchdowns ever.

174
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: Come on, man, let him tie the record.

175
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: Do you know what else was interesting about this is

176
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: why I was so excited with the Bills. We said

177
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: during the week, the reason why the Bills could dominate

178
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: this game is because they can get pressure without blitzing.

179
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: The lowest blitz rate of any team in the NFL,

180
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: but one of the best pressure rates of any team

181
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: in the NFL, which means that they're getting to the

182
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: quarterback with their front four. And you saw it constantly today.

183
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: And it happened multiple times with just four pass rushers

184
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: on really key downs, including a fourth down play where

185
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: two I just couldn't get the ball off because the

186
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: front four got to him.

187
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sean smart. Though Sean changed up his system, he

188
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: actually sent more five fronts than he was all season.

189
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 2: It's just that's what we talked about. He's a good

190
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 2: DC and he's got the players on that Bill side.

191
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, that was a really nice one.

192
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great, It was fantastic. I know Matt Mitchell,

193
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: who is a massive, massive Bills fan. I'm excited for him.

194
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: This had the potential to be a disaster for him

195
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,559
Speaker 1: and it wasn't, so we can all celebrate.

196
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 2: Matt.

197
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: Do you have a story you want to share about

198
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: the Bills.

199
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 3: I just want to mention that I have produced over

200
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: a thousand podcasts in these six NFL seasons of action,

201
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 3: and I've never drank a beer on any of them

202
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: because I'm a professional. But today's game has earned them

203
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: the right for me to crack open this delicious little

204
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: bat blow. And hey, Dolphins, when you get to Hell,

205
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 3: tell him Josh Allen said, you eat shit, Go Bills.

206
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: That's funny. A couple other really cool stats. Josh Allen

207
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: fifty nine wins in his career. Forty five of those

208
00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: have been by seven or more. He's now eighteen and

209
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: four straight up the last twenty two games against the

210
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: AFC East. So what's interesting is everyone else talks about

211
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and his dominance of the dominance of the

212
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: AFC West. You don't get as much noise about Josh

213
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: Allen and his dominance of the AFC East.

214
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 2: Alert here for Josh Allen, looking for He's a he's

215
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: a player. He's a football player through and through him.

216
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: But there's nothing there. He goes, he drums, can excuse me?

217
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: Touchdown?

218
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 2: How many quarterbacks have you ever seen hurdle anyone? Goodness,

219
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 2: there's no fear, No way he was being.

220
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: Down.

221
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: He's still going. Oh my god. The demands to do

222
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: something about this album reaches man making louder.

223
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: All right, Tennessee plus two and a half. This was

224
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: my exact decision. Also one of the biggest bets we

225
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: both had all week. This was a I love this

226
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 1: read by us as much as I love the Bills read.

227
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: I love this read by us. It was the exact

228
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: right spot. A team coming off a blowout loss against

229
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: an incredible defense, playing against a team that had just

230
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: won in prime time, so it was overinflated with Mike Vrabel,

231
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: this is now the MVP podcast, meaning it's the Mike

232
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: Vrabel podcast in Verbel We Trust twenty four and twenty

233
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: three straight up in his career as an underdog. Wow,

234
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: we love Mike Vrabel.

235
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 2: Simon yeah, and my model is a nice read on

236
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: them right now, where it's like we're hitting them at

237
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 2: the right spot and then we're fade them in the

238
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 2: right spot. Like they got blown out last week, We're

239
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 2: all over the Browns on this week, we're all over them.

240
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: Have been cincion. I really, you know, really did was

241
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 2: scared of the Ryan Tannehill factor of this game, but

242
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: we kind of saw what it was and it's just

243
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 2: something's not right with that Bengals offense. So Tannehill made

244
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: their throws when he needed to, and Derek Henry really

245
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: came back out and did his thing. And Rabel defense

246
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: as we talk all the time, like yeah, they have

247
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 2: a really bad secondary, but that front fourth they can

248
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: get pressure. They really can cover up that secondary, and

249
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 2: that's what they did. The Joe Joe just was not

250
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,319
Speaker 2: comfortable today. I don't even know what it was. I

251
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 2: might have been twenty four to three and a half.

252
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: And unlike the Bears and the Rams, I wasn't really

253
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: scared because I trust the defense of the Titans, so

254
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: really fun under was all over that, all over the number,

255
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 2: all over their money then, like you said, and don't

256
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 2: be shocked if me and Chad fade the Titans next

257
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 2: week when they're on the road. So there's gonna be

258
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: one of those teams this year. They're just we're gonna

259
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: be riding them and we're gonna fade them. They're really

260
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 2: a fun team.

261
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: Well, look, ra is so predictable in a lot of ways,

262
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: and you knew against this team. Look, it was probably

263
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: the I think it was the first week they were

264
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: playing in which they didn't confront a just ferocious pass rush. Right,

265
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: what the Bengals do is not what the Browns do

266
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: and it's not what the Chargers do. And those are

267
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: teams they had been playing in the previous couple of weeks.

268
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: So their ability to get Tannehill a little more time

269
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: and develop some of the plays that Vrabel loves to call.

270
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: They had very aggressive play calling. They went for it

271
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: on fourth down from all over the field. They had

272
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: one play where it was like a screen pass and

273
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: then a throw back to Ryan Tannehill who barely missed

274
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins in the end zone. They had a Derrick

275
00:14:52,360 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: Henry direct snap touchdown pass. They were awesome. But we

276
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: have to talk about Joe Burrow here, first quarterback in

277
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: NFL history, to attempt at least one hundred and fifty

278
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: passes in his team's first four games of a season,

279
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: an average fewer than five yards per attempt on those passes.

280
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: Like you said, it unconvinced me. We've talked about it

281
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: all week. We thought that win against the Rams was fraudulent.

282
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: He's not healthy, he's not back, he's not comfortable. Something's

283
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: wrong here.

284
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and just until further notice, I don't care

285
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 2: if I'm getting a good number on. I just it's

286
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: gonna be hard for me to back the Spangles team.

287
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 2: I just have no read on Joe Burrown this offense.

288
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: There's just something's wrong on them right now.

289
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's another little fun little stat. Teams went to

290
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: to o against the spread today. With this stat, teams

291
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: that scored three points or less the previous week are

292
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: seventy five, forty eight and four sixty one percent against

293
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: the spread the following week the past twenty years, so

294
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: week fourteen teams Week three teams that scored three points

295
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: or less. Washington and Tennessee both covered today. We were

296
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: on both of them. That Commander's game was a little

297
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of a sweat there at the end.

298
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: It got interesting, Yeah, it did right. All right, let's

299
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: talk about games we did have to sweat other than

300
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: the Commanders games we had to sweat for our contest.

301
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: A buddy of mine texted me midway through the second

302
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: half to remind me that Matt Ryan, one of the

303
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: broadcasters on today's game, when it was twenty eight to seven.

304
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: You know what, Matt Ryan said, Matt Ryan, loser of

305
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl when they were up twenty eight to three.

306
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: Epic meltdowns as a big lead, as a guy with

307
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: big leads throughout his career, Matt Ryan, the Bears were

308
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: up twenty eight seven, this game is all bit.

309
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: Over and we can't forget you had the thirty one

310
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 2: to three melt down against the Vikings. That's right, so epic.

311
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: So it was pretty typical. Like as soon as like

312
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: I didn't bet it live, but as soon as Matt

313
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: Ryan said, this game is all but over, you probably

314
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: should have bet the Broncos live. This was our only

315
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: debate this morning, like in a quick catchup, and I

316
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: have some thoughts on our contest strategy. It was a

317
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 1: numbers play, right, I said at the beginning of the show.

318
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: We didn't bet Baltimore because it was at two and

319
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: a half in our contest. We did bet Houston because

320
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: it was a two and a half in our contest.

321
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: We just liked the Bears at three and a half better.

322
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,679
Speaker 1: It wouldn't have mattered if we took Baltimore in Houston.

323
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 1: But wowser. Like I talked about you reviewing Josh Allen

324
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: and for the Favorite Film Session, I reviewed the Broncos defense,

325
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: and like they were terrible. Cole Comet wide open, DJ

326
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: Moore are wide open. The first game Justin Fields has

327
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: ever thrown for three hundred yards. I mean, they were

328
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: just pathetic in the first half, and then they made

329
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: adjustments and Justin Fields isn't good enough to sort of

330
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: work around those. And the Bears coaching staff is got awful.

331
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: We can talk about what they did wrong, but all

332
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: of a sudden this became a sweat for us.

333
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, Justin Fields is really talented and really gifted, but

334
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: you have horrible coaching. And that's what happens. You have

335
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: horrible coaching. So they, like you said, they get up

336
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: to uh what was it, twenty eight to seven like

337
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 2: you said, and the Broncos score a touchdown, they send

338
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: Fields out there. I think they do three runs right

339
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: into the back of their offensive lineman, bump the ball back,

340
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: Broncos score a touchdown. Fields goes out there. I believe

341
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 2: you got stripsacked or whatever happened. They take a touchdown,

342
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 2: the game was tied, and it's like this, this fucking

343
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: Bears team, man, like they're but dude.

344
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: Then the Bears have it like fourth down in the

345
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: red zone with I don't know to two and a

346
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: half minutes left, maybe even less, and they go for

347
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: it on fourth and one instead of kicking a go

348
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: ahead field goal.

349
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 2: I liked that play, I know, but I thought that

350
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 2: was the right call because their defense was shot, they're exhausted.

351
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: So my view of it was, okay, you take the

352
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 2: three there a minimum the bron because we're gonna get

353
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 2: a three no matter what. That was gonna go to overtime.

354
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 2: And then and then again, you're playing a flip coin,

355
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 2: flipping the coin there, and we talk all the time

356
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:34,479
Speaker 2: football is so momentum, and the momentum was gone, gone, gone,

357
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 2: and then you guys had this huge catch on the sideline.

358
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: I forget who had this big catch. It might have

359
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 2: been Saint Brown toe tapped and yeah, flip back to

360
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 2: our like our side. I was like, they got this,

361
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 2: and I know people hate it them for it, but

362
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 2: I just I agreed with the call because if you

363
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 2: get that first, you kneel it down, you kick the

364
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,959
Speaker 2: three of the game is over. And you know, the

365
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: Bears they should play that way the entire season because

366
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: now you are playing. I know it hurts the Bears

367
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 2: fans here that this is, but if Fields keeps playing

368
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: like this, he keeps playing pretty well like middle, maybe'll

369
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 2: be able to get a first. And now we're talking

370
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: to you, guys might have three first. So I think

371
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: Bears fans they can keep living themselves, some of them

372
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: being like Justin Fields is the future and we just

373
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: need a new coach. If you have the number one pick,

374
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: you will be taking Williams. This guy is an all

375
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 2: time prospect and you're seeing when you hit you know

376
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: right away CJ. Stroud, We know right away this guy

377
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: is legit. Now, he could fall off the cliff and

378
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: have a shit rest of the year and everything like that,

379
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: but they have something there that they can work on

380
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 2: now going forward. There's stuff he does really well. So yeah,

381
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 2: Bears fans, I've heard from you guys and it's hard.

382
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: I mean, that was the most people reach out to

383
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 2: me about, like online, where they're like, you guys got

384
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 2: to stop taking the Bears, and I just kept saying them,

385
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 2: it's a good number, like we're not betting them to win.

386
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: I already told Chad I refuse to bet this team

387
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: to win. But with the hook at three and a half,

388
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 2: it was good and it literally went just as we predicted.

389
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: They blew the game. They lost by three. We covered

390
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: the hook.

391
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah in my my text chain, my Chicago Bears text chain.

392
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: That must be a sad place.

393
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: No, No, it's not like it's not because at the

394
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: end of at the end of it, I was able

395
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: to say to everybody, look, the good news we bet

396
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: the Bears plus three and a half. The better news.

397
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 1: The better news we still lost and we're still in

398
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: the running for Caleb Williams and Marvin Harrison Junior and

399
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: a complete reboot with a new staff. Yeah, Like, this

400
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: team has so much good potential right now. I might

401
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: bet him again at two hundred and one next year

402
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl, because that's how excited I

403
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: can be about about Caleb Williams. The Broncos defense, though,

404
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: is as bad as we say, Okay, fifth most points

405
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: through four games all time, all time history of the NFL.

406
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: Seventy eight point one percent completion percentage is the highest

407
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: through four games all time. They just happened to get

408
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: lucky and play a Bears team that is the first

409
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: to allow twenty five or more points in NFL history

410
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: in fourteen consecutive games. This was an all time bad

411
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: defense matchup. We got very lucky that we were on

412
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,959
Speaker 1: the right side, Very very lucky, all right, this Rams

413
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: game we won. The Rams were favored by a half

414
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: in the contest. You and I liked it at plus

415
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,239
Speaker 1: one and a half early in the week, but we

416
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: kind of slow rolled it all week, Like we barely

417
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: discussed it on Tuesday, and then when we did the

418
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: podcast on Thursday, we both came to the show and

419
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: we're like, I kind of like the Rams this week. Look,

420
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: they were the biggest unlucky team from the week before.

421
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: The biggest differential in our luck rankings this week was

422
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: between the Colts, who had beaten the Ravens with multiple

423
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: fifty yard field goals, and the Rams, who had lost

424
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: on some flooky plays in prime time against the Bengals.

425
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: So we liked this game a lot, and I made

426
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 1: a note in the middle of the game, like it

427
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,679
Speaker 1: was they were up twenty three nothing, but at that

428
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: point they had missed two field goals and I'm like,

429
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: they cannot put this game away. It was so frustrating

430
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: because you could see you could see the Colts with

431
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: the chance to come back.

432
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and once again and those the Rams defense got tired.

433
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: And that's what happens in football, Like if a team

434
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: is gassed, it's there's nothing they can do because then

435
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: you start mentally being fatigued and making wrong decisions. And

436
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 2: a bunch of little penalties of Rams kept giving to

437
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 2: the Colts team, they kept getting them free first downs,

438
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: and yeah, the math you saw the numbers working out

439
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 2: where it's like, oh my god, they just need sixteen

440
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 2: now and then sure enough to get the first two pointer,

441
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 2: then they get next to the next one. So yeah,

442
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,239
Speaker 2: that would have been a bad beat. Like I've had

443
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: some horrible bad beats in college football right now, So,

444
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: like you know, PTSD, I'm just a little shell shock

445
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 2: where that came back. I was like, if they lose

446
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 2: this coin flip, it's over. Like they're gonna score a

447
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 2: touchdown the Colts. Luckily, you know, our guy got it.

448
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 2: And yeah, say what you want about Stafford and this

449
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: RAMS team. All the naysayers heard a lot of shit

450
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 2: about me loving them, and here they are two and two. JAD.

451
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: It's pretty crazy. This RAMS team probably should be three

452
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: to one. They're just they're better than people perceive. And

453
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: every time I see the forty nine ers now just

454
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 2: beat the crap out of all these different teams, and

455
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 2: the Rams really gave them a run for their money.

456
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: I think they're better than people realize. It's all about

457
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 2: what Stafford can do and if he's healthy, and now

458
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup coming back, with all these other guys who

459
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 2: have stepped up and filled in these other receivers, it's

460
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: hard not to be excited about this RAMS team. So

461
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 2: definitely one of the teams that it's always nice when

462
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: you bet these bad teams that everyone hates and they

463
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 2: show up for you. So yeah, the Rams almost got

464
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: blacklisted from me if they almost ruined our night, our

465
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 2: perfect day, and luckily they came back.

466
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: They tried, they tried, really tried. I made another note

467
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: two thirty three. Everything had gone perfectly and at about

468
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: midway through the fourth the Colts had scored to get

469
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: within eight. And that's right when Justin Fields was strip

470
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: sacked and I was saying to myself, are you freaking

471
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: kidding me? That? Like I could have taken a nap.

472
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: We were in such good shape, and all of a sudden,

473
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: I gotta be sweating that we're going to go two

474
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: and two when we were so spot on with these

475
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: for one hundred and twenty minutes. The good news is

476
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: the good news is Mac Jones is terrible, and that

477
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 1: is a game I did not have to sweat. And

478
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: can we just agree as great as the Patriots defense

479
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: is and as great as Bill Belichick is a game planning,

480
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: they they are quarterbackless right now. Mac Jones was benched,

481
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: Baby Zappy came in, didn't make a difference. He's just

482
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: a He's a terrible quarterback. He looks kind of like

483
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: he's non athletic, he doesn't make good throws, he puts

484
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: himself in bad positions. He's just not good.

485
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're gonna be in tank mode. Great QB

486
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: class coming out this year. I know it's gonna be

487
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 2: hard for Belichick to swallow it, but he might not

488
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 2: have a choice like they might just be really bad.

489
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: And yeah, looking at their division, even with Zach Wilson,

490
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: still think the Jets might do something, but none of

491
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 2: us will be shocked if they end up finishing fourth

492
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: below the Jets team. So yeah, Patriots fans, it sucks,

493
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 2: but welcome to being a regular NFL fan again. It's

494
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 2: just it's really hard to find these superstar quarterbacks.

495
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell wants to remind everybody that that Mac Jones

496
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: has no idea which nipple to throw to right now, listen,

497
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: if I'm going to get if I'm gonna get called

498
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: on the carpet for saying Mac Jones is a which

499
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: nipple to throw to guy, then I should get credit

500
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: for saying this guy's terrible, Like two weeks ago, I

501
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: said it.

502
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 2: Also, But that's very impressive. You predicted that two weeks ago.

503
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: Well listen, you kept you kept trying to tell me

504
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: to bet the Patriots, and I'm.

505
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,160
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I never said it's because of Mac Jones.

506
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 2: I said it was because of their defense. I know

507
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 2: this one's fair.

508
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: I definitely wanted to bet the Patriots. I'm like, come on,

509
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are the right side or this is a

510
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: smash spot for the Cowboys. Also, you can see why.

511
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 1: Don't give me your snickering. Listen, don't give me an

512
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: even Chad snicker.

513
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 2: This is why people want us to lose. Chad, You're

514
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 2: the reason people want us to lose. Please take it

515
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: down on.

516
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: Notch Oh No, I'm not.

517
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're celebrating the Cowboys game. We didn't even

518
00:27:57,720 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 2: bet you're You're out of your fucking mind right now.

519
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: Well, I dot it.

520
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just it's nothing towards the show. You're just

521
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 2: I bet it. Get back on course.

522
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: Uh, you can see why the Eagles are both struggling

523
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: and still winning because Jonathan Gannon and Shane Steichen clearly

524
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: we're incredible coordinators. Because what they're doing in Arizona and

525
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: Indie is super impressive. These teams don't have a ton

526
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: of talent and they're staying in every game.

527
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, they're really good. I mean the Arizona stuff.

528
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: I don't even know if it's the coaching this this

529
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 2: quarterback I just saw somewhere else they might keep Kyler

530
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 2: Murray out longer. I have no idea what's going on

531
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: with this Cardinals team. Like Kyler just posted video a

532
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: little bit ago that he's like ready to come back.

533
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: And now they're saying, well, we're going to keep them

534
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 2: on reserve for a while. And yeah, like I think

535
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,719
Speaker 2: evn't posts. A little bit ago the Bengals were minus

536
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: six against Arizona. That line's already moved the five. So

537
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 2: the pro money is coming on Arizona. They just they

538
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: like this team. And yeah, well there for a really

539
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: bad zach Ers drop, they would have won, not won,

540
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 2: they would have covered today spread against that forty nine

541
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: Ers team.

542
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: Make Little Caesars, the official pizza sponsor of the NFL

543
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: part of your game day, Simon, can you ever really

544
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 1: trust someone who doesn't include pizza as part of their

545
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: game day routine?

546
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 2: Not a chance?

547
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,640

00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: Choose your favorite Little Caesars pizza or pick the toppings

550
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: you crave, Simon, Do you eat the pizza crust or

551
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: do you not?

552
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 2: I love the crust?

553
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: I do too. However you handle your Little Caesars, you win.

554
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: And speaking of winning, everyone scores with convenient delivery or

00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: our in store pizza portal pickup. So grab some friends

556
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: and enjoy a few slices during the game, all right.

557
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: Our other picks from the week, our foxhil was Las

558
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: Vegas plus five and a half. I mean, dude, how

559
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: many there were, like six sacks, so.

560
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: Many chances We were right there though, brutal right there.

561
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: He fumbled three times in the first half, like, but

562
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: they had so many chances to get close in that game.

563
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: Our big balls is the Jets nine and a half.

564
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: We'll find out soon enough. EXAC decision Tennessee plus two

565
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: and a half. Simon says, Buffalo minus two and a half.

566
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: Round Robin Houston a win, Baltimore a win, Tennessee a win,

567
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: the Bucks a win, Las Vegas a lost.

568
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 3: All right.

569
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: Look for those who are joining and you haven't gotten

570
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: the picture yet, our lean for Sunday night is going

571
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: to be the New York j e Ts Jets, Jets Jets.

572
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: Simon and I liked it at ten. We liked it

573
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: at nine and a half. In the contest, it's Roland Simon,

574
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 1: what is that number at right now? I haven't even checked.

575
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 2: It's gone back up. Like, like we said, a lot

576
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 2: of public moneys come in, so it did go to

577
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 2: seven and a half for most of the day now

578
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 2: some books are shown eight eight and a half's out there,

579
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, we want you guys at the end of a

580
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 2: half if you can. That's that's such a key number.

581
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: We still lean towards the Jets very much, not even

582
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: a lean. We are heavily invested. Simon also tell people

583
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: what player prop you're thinking about.

584
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 2: Took Mahomes underpassing prop so I think it was two

585
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: seventy two. I mean, we need it for our bet.

586
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 2: If he's thrown over three hundred yards, probably not the

587
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: best spot for us with our Jets bet and Andy

588
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 2: Reid kind of kind of leaked a little bit that

589
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 2: they want to use the run more, take the less

590
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: pressure off Mahomes take, have them take less hits. And

591
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: this matchup the Jets, they kind of want you to

592
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: drop back and pass right. They have the really good

593
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 2: pass rushers. So I think, ay, he's gonna attack on

594
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: the run. So yeah, it might have gone up, but

595
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 2: it was too seventy two and a half this morning

596
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: when I gave out his underpassing.

597
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,719
Speaker 1: Monday Night football, the Seahawks are visiting the Giants. When

598
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: we talked earlier in the week, I don't like this

599
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: game at all. I'm going to pass entirely you leaned Giants,

600
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: but explain to people how you ended up on the Seahawks.

601
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you end up kind of getting bullied and ticking

602
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: the Seahawks. A really sharp group came in on them.

603
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 2: They've moved the number. I took it late. I think

604
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: I think a minus one out's up to minus one

605
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 2: and a half. But I think we talked before the show,

606
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: it's just an injury bet. There's just such big injuries

607
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 2: round to the Giants. Unlikely Barkley plays, which is such

608
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: a big deal of that offense. We just see how

609
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: they're just different without them. So totally get it. If

610
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 2: you want to just wont tease the Giants up to

611
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: seven and a half because they're a home dog prime time,

612
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 2: I get it. I think the Seahawks just have too

613
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 2: much firepower for the wide receivers and Kenneth Walker has

614
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 2: been amazing running the ball. So yeah, everywhere cross the

615
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 2: board that offense is really good, and where you attack

616
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: the Seahawks is their secondary and I just don't know

617
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: if they have got the weapons on the Giants side

618
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: to really do that.

619
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 1: All right, Simon, very hard question for you and you

620
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: name the fastest growing ticketing app in the United States.

621
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 2: Games.

622
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: That's right, it's our sponsor, game Time. I love game

623
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 1: Time for two reasons. One they sponsored the show. Two,

624
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: I actually use game Time to buy tickets, no more

625
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: so than about two hours ago. True story. My wife,

626
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: who was in Michigan alum, is going to ann Arbor

627
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. She wants to go to

628
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: the game. At about five or six o'clock tonight, she

629
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: said to me, Hey, what's the best way to get

630
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: tickets for the game? I wish there were cameras there.

631
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: It would have been like a game Time commercial. She's

632
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: clearly not a podcast listener because I was able to

633
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: say to her game Time, and then I was able

634
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: to say to her, They've got amazing last minute deals

635
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: on all sorts of tickets, including pro and college football games.

636
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: Speaking to which I'm actually opening game Time right now

637
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: from my house here in Connecticut. Guess what, I can

638
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: go see that money in a football game in New

639
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: York for less than eighty bucks. Less than eighty bucks

640
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: professional football game. No matter where you live, download the

641
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,720

643
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: And as I told my wife, if she uses game time,

644
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 1: she can redeem code favorites for twenty dollars off your

Speaker 1: lowes price guarantee you. All right, we got some buys

648
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: coming up the Browns, Chargers, Seahawks, and Bucks in Week five.

649
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: We always like to fade, I mean we always like

650
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: to give a little bit extra attention to teams that

651
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: got blown out. So we already mentioned Cincinnati opened as

652
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: a six point favorite, Arizona already down to five. New

653
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: England got blown out, and New England is they're in

654
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: a good spot.

655
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 2: They're at home against the Saints.

656
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: That's right. They're at a home against the Saints, and

657
00:34:54,080 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: I think they're a slight favorite. Yeah, Pittsburgh's off the

658
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: they got blown out. Atlanta is hosting Houston. We're gonna

659
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: get to that, and then the Saints, which is New England.

660
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: So let's talk about some early leans. Do you have

661
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: anything that's that's sticking out for you right now?

662
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? I love Atlanta. Hoping that goes to two and

663
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 2: a half, though it's three right now. I'll just wait

664
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 2: for it the drop. CJ has been incredible, but I

665
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 2: have to fit huge win against Jacksonville, huge win at

666
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 2: home now against Pittsburgh. Atlanta laid a huge egg against

667
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 2: the Jaguars on national television. Ain't nobody, Ain't nobody been

668
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 2: this Atlanta team but the pros. So that one I

669
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: knew right away after watching the Atlanta game. I'll go

670
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 2: Houston wins. This is gonna be an easy bet. I'll

671
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 2: just I'll just take Atlanta. I think it might have

672
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 2: been three and a half four before that game. Now

673
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 2: it's sitting at three. I think it's gonna go two

674
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 2: and a half. You never know how these things going.

675
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 2: Maybe the Pros will come in now, yeah, already two

676
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 2: and a half. Evan said, So that's one of those

677
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 2: I hate it. I don't want to do it because

678
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: I love CJ. And I love the way they're playing

679
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 2: right now. Like he's got it ridder we all know

680
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 2: he doesn't. I'm bending down hopes that maybe Heinike is

681
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 2: named the starter. You never know, like unlikely, right, they'll

682
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 2: give up on him yet, but they could. But we

683
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 2: joke Ridder never lost a home game. We'll take it

684
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 2: under a field goal at home that that'll be one

685
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 2: of those early bets. I'll make just a nice spot

686
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 2: to back him. Fade the rookie on the road after

687
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,919
Speaker 2: big road, two big wins, I should say.

688
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean he was terrible, horrible. Yeah, it's really terrible.

689
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: Right now. Would you take Aidan O'Connell or Desmond Rider.

690
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 2: I take anyone I joked with someone whatever. I was

691
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 2: talking to a guy last night and it's it's never

692
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 2: any stupid questions. And he's Atlanta Falcons man. He's just like,

693
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 2: you don't know, He's like no one knows. He's like,

694
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 2: we get it, we see him. He's had some rough games,

695
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 2: he's also had some really big good throw and blah

696
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 2: blah blah. And I just said to him, there's thirty

697
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 2: two starters. That means there's thirty two backups. And I

698
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't even have him in my top sixty four. Like

699
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:12,440
Speaker 2: the guy is a third string practice quarterback. And you know,

700
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 2: I can't say that I knew from the minute I

701
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 2: saw him, but the fact that I was hearing so

702
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: much noise during the draft Atlanta trying to get quarterbacks

703
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 2: from all these guys who work for Atlanta, who are

704
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: scouts for Atlanta. I knew the team knew. And if

705
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 2: the team knows, the team is supposed to be the

706
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 2: biggest frauds, blowing smoke, saying all this stuff in the media,

707
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 2: which they do do. But if I'm getting word behind

708
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 2: the scenes that this team was already trying to find

709
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: another quarterback because they don't believe in them, that's a

710
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 2: huge red flag, Like these guys want to believe in guys.

711
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, Ritter just buying his time to be being

712
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 2: their starting quarterback. They just eventually they're going to replace him.

713
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: So you said you thought we'd be fading, Mike Vrabel, Yeah,

714
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: got a problem. Here's the problem. And I'm just sort

715
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: of I picked out a few games that I thought

716
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: we might be interested in. And if I don't hit

717
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: the games you're also thinking about, you know, please add

718
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 1: But uh, they're a one point dog at Indy.

719
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why you're a fraiding them, Chad. You think

720
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 2: that's a you think that's a good number. You're getting

721
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 2: good value there.

722
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: I don't feel anything that that ship stinks, Chad, Come on,

723
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: that line stinks.

724
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 2: Let the public bet it. We'll get the Colts as

725
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: a dog like. People are going to come in like you,

726
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: they're going to take Tennessee here. I can't knock them

727
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 2: for it.

728
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: Uhh, I'm not doing anything yet. I'm just waiting. I

729
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: don't feel like it's it. I feel like it's a

730
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: It's like I don't have a read on a number

731
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,240
Speaker 1: at one. Yeah, the Titans versus the Cults, it feels

732
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: like there they set that line so the market could

733
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: dictate which way it was going to go.

734
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 2: I was hoping it was going to open three and

735
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 2: we were gonna get a nice three points of this

736
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 2: cold team. So I'm with you, like, I haven't bet this.

737
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: I'll just wait. But the public, everyone's going to come

738
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 2: in on this Tennessee team. They're gonna drink the koolid.

739
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: They just blew out Joe Burrow the Colts. Yeah, me

740
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 2: and you thought they played well and they had a

741
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 2: good comeback. No one Bettenham thinks that they're pissed they

742
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: lost their bet. They lost money on them. The general

743
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 2: public is gonna be pissed of the Colts for back

744
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 2: of them in that spot. So yeah, to me, I'll

745
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 2: take the good stuff where I saw in that Colts game,

746
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 2: which is Anthony Richardson coming off an injury, looked rusty

747
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 2: for a half, and then the second half he kind

748
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: of got his groove back. And I'm looking forward to

749
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 2: getting him at hopefully a plus number against this Tennessee team.

750
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: Don't be mean to me on Sunday nights just because

751
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: you haven't slept for days and I ask a neutral question.

752
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to save you from betting on Tennessee.

753
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: There, I didn't bet Tennessee yet. I don't have an

754
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: opinion on this game because I got the number. I'm

755
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: waiting for something to happen to it. Cincinnati. I put

756
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 1: this in the script before it moved to six, and

757
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: now it's at five. I just think this Arizona team

758
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: is interesting. They clearly don't give up, and I think

759
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is in real trouble. But do you still like

760
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: it at five?

761
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 2: Not crazy about it, but I probably will. I probably

762
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 2: will take it, but yeah, like I liked it at six,

763
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 2: I was like, that's that's a really nice number that

764
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 2: they hung up there. Yeah. I'll let the pros and

765
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 2: the public do something with us, and maybe I'll opinion

766
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 2: on Tuesday. But yeah, if you missed the six, you

767
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 2: missed a good number. Now we can just wait for

768
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 2: it at five or grow up four and a half

769
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 2: or whatever it ends up at. But that's definitely a

770
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 2: tricky game where it's like I want to back Joe,

771
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 2: but he's just not the Joe Burrow we know and love.

772
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: He's just something something's wrong there. So Arizona playing hard

773
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 2: or in every game should have covered this week, and they,

774
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: I mean, things just don't bounced their way. Yeah, I

775
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 2: guess we'll take the value on Arizona.

776
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: Uh. The Philadelphia Eagles were at six visiting the Rams.

777
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: It's been down to five already.

778
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 2: If Cooper cups back, it's a no brainer smash spot

779
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 2: for this Rams team. But we talked about when the

780
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 2: Bucks played again the Eagles. I thought the Bucks would

781
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 2: be able to attack the secondary of the Eagles, who

782
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 2: are very injured, and it didn't work out. Little did

783
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 2: we know that, Sam, I mean, who knows the hell

784
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 2: went on with that Eagles and that Commander's game, Like

785
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 2: the reps were involved in a lot of stuff too,

786
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 2: but the secondary did look suspect for that Eagles team,

787
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 2: and Stafford is picking teams apart right now with a

788
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 2: bunch of no names. So if Cooper cup is back,

789
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:28,239
Speaker 2: why wouldn't we take the Rams as a home dog

790
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 2: in the spot. That's just that's a big number for

791
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,319
Speaker 2: an Eagles team to be favorite. That think you nail

792
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 2: at Chad like, we have a lot of questions about them,

793
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 2: So another game. I won't overreact in bed right away.

794
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: The best of the numbers already gone. Like Chad said,

795
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 2: the six is gone. I'll be patient on that one.

796
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 2: But there is another game we're going to get to

797
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 2: that I am going to bet right now just in

798
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 2: case it does move. Say it, say it, yeah, the

799
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 2: game of the week forty nine years Cowboys. I'm grabbing

800
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 2: the minus three and a half right now. Minus three

801
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 2: if you can find it on this forty nine Ers team.

802
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 2: It's just a great number, a great spot. Cowboys are

803
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 2: very good, they are talented. They are not as good

804
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 2: as this forty nine Ers team, and I just don't

805
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 2: think they are. I just I haven't towerrated as such.

806
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 2: You know, if I said it before, if the forty

807
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,760
Speaker 2: nine Ers went through Dallas, I'd make them a small favorite.

808
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 2: So I have to stick to it. This is a

809
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 2: big number. It's gonna be scary, but I just see

810
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 2: a lot of public money coming in on this Cowboys

811
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 2: team and then being happy to get the hook so

812
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 2: you don't have to take it. You want to hopefully

813
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 2: get the three on the forty nine Ers. It could

814
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: get there again. I'm just grabbing this just in case

815
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 2: professional money comes in to start starts going up to

816
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 2: four four and a half.

817
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: This forty nine Ers team is a juggernaut. Like that

818
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: defense is amongst the statistically best defenses ever over the

819
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: past two years. What they're doing is almost unprecedented. And

820
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: the way they're playing McCaffrey and the way that brock

821
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: Perdy is controlling a game and not making a ton

822
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: of mistakes. I don't think he's been as good as

823
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: he was in those seven games last year, but he's

824
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: not making the mistakes. Like it's almost like Kyle Shanahan

825
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 1: has been building his entire career to get all of

826
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: these tools that he has, and now everything fits in

827
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: the exact way that he wants it to fit. It's

828
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: actually astonishing to watch.

829
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a seventh round quarterback. He has a lot

830
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 2: of weaknesses and a lot of teams can exploit those weaknesses.

831
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 2: But the gift we keep talking about that Kyle run

832
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 2: blocking scheme. It sets everything up like every time he

833
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 2: needs to, he can just throw a fake to McCaffrey,

834
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 2: have the linebackers step up. They open the middle of

835
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 2: the fields open. Easiest completion the guys can make are

836
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 2: those guys running those slants across the middle when the

837
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 2: linebackers step up. So even in this game, they didn't

838
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 2: need him to do much because McCaffrey's so good. And

839
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 2: that's why I give the edge just ford Ers team.

840
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 2: I think the run blocking style they do is going

841
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 2: to give major problems to this Dallas defense that let's

842
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 2: face it, they're not great against the run's it's really

843
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 2: their only weakness. So yeah, I give the lean right

844
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 2: now towards taking the forty nine Ers.

845
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: The other game I'm thinking about, but it's off the

846
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 1: board now in a lot of places is Kansas City

847
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: minus six and Minnesota. Yeah I might lean Minnesota in

848
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: that game. So as soon as that game opens up again,

849
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: depending on what happens tonight, I'm probably going to have

850
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,000
Speaker 1: to take a little taste of Minnesota.

851
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I get it. I have no feelings on

852
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 2: that one. Yet, but I see whre you're coming from.
