The US is actually in it this year. 18 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how long we're going to 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: be in it, but they're in it, and it's like exciting. 20 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: Even if you're not a massive soccer fan. I know 21 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: you'd like the World Cup. But first a couple of 22 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: orders of business. Number one, the guest today Jake Cornigae 23 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 1: Sports Book in the super Book I'm sorry, super Book 24 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: at Westgate in Vegas.

I think I'll come out of it looking 28 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: pretty good because I think I'm on some sides that 29 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: he agrees with. Of course, I am a Jets fan, 30 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: so we'll get to that one. But I think you're 31 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: gonna love the interview. It ran a little bit long, 32 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: but listen to it all. Uh, some good kernels of 33 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: wisdom in there. I think you guys are really gonna 34 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: like it. And then, of course, at the end of 35 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: the podcast bets best best bets for the NFL, I'll 36 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: give you a U S C U C L A 37 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: bet and a couple of World Cup futures bets that 38 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: I made. Now, if you are following me on the Graham, 39 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: you've got a couple of these World Series future world 40 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: World Series World Cup futures, and you've got a college 41 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: basketball winner last night. Yeah, I'm sliding in some college 42 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: hoops now. It's the holiday season, so when I'm not 43 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: with the family, I'm grinding um trying to get down. 44 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: There's just so much sports happening. One thing is I 45 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: barely checked any NBA. I don't even know if an 46 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: NBA games happened last night. Obviously they did, but it's weird, 47 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: like there's just so much happening. It's tough to really 48 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: get fired up about the association. Yeah, three games on 49 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: this like, oh kaw, while Leonard returned, I'd give a ship. 50 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: Come on, I'm so over that guy. Anyways, let's get 51 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: two Titans, packers and folks, it's over for green Bay. 52 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: Four and seven too far behind the Vikings to mount 53 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: a rally. The worst part of this of this is 54 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: like they actually did a great job against Derrick Henry. 55 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: Are you ready for this? Derrick Henry had eight carries, 56 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: not one of them went for ten yards. One they 57 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,679 Speaker 1: bottled him up twenty carries eight seven yards, So who 58 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: beat him? Ryan Tanna Thrill, Well, Derrick Henry did have 59 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 1: a touchdown pass on that Tim Tebow jump pass thing 60 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: kind of cool, But Ryan Tannehill was shredding. He made 61 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: one late interception that kept the door briefly a jar 62 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: for the Packers. But Tannehill was outstanding thirty three yards 63 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: I mean twelve point three yards per pass. I can't 64 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: give out all the fantasy advice that I want to. 65 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: I texted him to my brother and a couple other buddies, 66 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: but I advised picking up Traylon Burke's last week because 67 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: he had been missing for a time and Ryan Tannehill 68 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: had been like kind of out the last a couple 69 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: of weeks. He wasn't really a factor. I thought Burks 70 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: would have a chance here, and he had seven catches 71 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: for a hundred eleven yards cooked and I mean roasted, 72 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: Jayra Alexander Layton the game. I mean Tannehill had uh 73 00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 1: passes over twenty yards to Burke's Robert Woods, dar Rick Henry, 74 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: It's some guy whose name I can't even pronounce, Oko Kawanu. 75 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: And then Westbrook a ken A had a nineteen yard 76 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: or like green Bay just got torched. This was holly 77 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: embarrassing for the Packers defense, my goodness, but I had 78 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: think you have to save the real criticism, whether you 79 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: watched or didn't, for Aaron Rodgers. Now, if you did 80 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: not watch, you're just like, oh, Rogers, it's a little 81 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: pedestrian check down, Charlie. Not a great game. If you 82 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: actually watched, he was way off on some throws. So 83 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: usually Aaron Rodgers back in the pocket, maybe he's off 84 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 1: his back foot. He's just flinging it around out there, 85 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: and this is what he does. And he's drilling it 86 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: right on point to Davante Adams and company. Folks. Ah, 87 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 1: I was stunned. He was like three four five yards 88 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: off on some passes. Through on a key fourth down 89 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: he had Lazard and it was it was a throw 90 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: across his body. But Aaron Rodgers makes that in his 91 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,799 Speaker 1: sleep for the last decade, and it was behind Lozard. 92 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: It's hard could have caught it but didn't. And then 93 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: a final two or three drives. I'm like, dude, this 94 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: is not the end Rodgers that I know. I don't know, guys, 95 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: this is a bad look for Rogers. Five point eight 96 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: yards per attempt. I'm done with A. J. Dillon. I 97 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: can't believe I started that guy in fantasy. He he 98 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: does never get the ball and he's running with a 99 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: piano on his back. Six carries thirteen yards. Uh. Watson 100 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: had another couple of touchdowns. He's a good player. But 101 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: this Packers team, wow, what a letdown. I mean you'll 102 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: start pointing around, like do they do they toss Jordan 103 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: Love out there for a couple of games and we 104 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: suddenly get to hear all of a sudden, you know, 105 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: one of these NFL insiders, Aaron Rodgers is getting an 106 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: m R I today on fill in the blank. Oh yeah, 107 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 1: well he was hurt, he was banged up. You know, 108 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 1: it feels like that's coming. That's how bad Rogers was. 109 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: On Thursday night football Packers lose by ten and folks, 110 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: they're they're not going to the playoffs. It's over right 111 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: around Halloween, your boy, that's me came on this podcast 112 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: and I said two of the following three teams are 113 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: gonna miss the laoffs. Degree May Packers, I have to date. 114 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: Actually it was Halloween, October thirty one. The Rams, Packers, 115 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: and Bucks. Two of these teams are going to miss 116 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs. The Rams they lost Cooper Cup last week, 117 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: they were missing Stafford. They're done. Green May Packers with this. 118 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 1: They the season had life after the wind, unbelievable come 119 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: back when he gets the Cowboys, They're now done. At 120 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: four and seven. It's over. There is no rallying from 121 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 1: this deficit. Tampa Bay will probably make the playoffs because 122 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: the division is awful, but this is the worst part 123 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: for Green Bay folks. Their next game, it's against the 124 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: Eagles on the road. After that, Bears Rams, those should 125 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: be wins. They have to go to Miami. The way 126 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: Miami's playing, we'll call that a loss. They've got the 127 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: rematch of the Vikings. So even if they won the 128 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: rest of their games one, two, three, four, or five six, 129 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: all that does is get them to ten and seven. 130 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: The New York Giants and the Cowboys are eclipsing ten 131 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 1: wins for sure. So then the question becomes, well, who's 132 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: the other team? Well, you know, folks, it could be 133 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders, who have a burden in hand because 134 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: they beat the Packers. The Packers are done. It's over. 135 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: Season complete. They went from third team wins three seasons 136 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: in a row to missing the playoffs. I don't think 137 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna overtake the Commanders, and Seattle is probably the 138 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: team to try to overtake anyway. So you're telling me 139 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: they're who who Are they gonna pass go Look at 140 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: the schedules. Is Green gig Bag gonna pass Seattle? Are 141 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: they gonna pass Washington? Are they gonna pass the Giants? 142 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: Are they gonna pass Dallas? They're gonna pass four? One 143 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: of those four? Just to get in the discussion, right, 144 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: four division winners, three wild card. I don't see it 145 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: for the Packers, guys, I don't schedule is tough. I 146 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: don't see from Aaron Rodgers, it's going to be back 147 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: to the drawing board for Aaron Rodgers on the Green 148 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: Bay Packers.

So you go from the elements 169 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: outdoors and the snow indoors. Jay, there's a lot of angles. 170 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: I'm curious. You know people are betting these games all week, 171 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: and how do you guys at the super Book handle 172 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: this game now that there's a venue change. Well, my 173 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: first thought when you asked that question is I gotta 174 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: tell everybody check your local book. You know, the rules 175 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,559 Speaker 1: will vary book to book, and in a lot of cases, 176 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: their action no matter where they're playing, And there there 177 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: are others that will y fund those first bets and 178 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: you'll have to replace your bets because the venue has 179 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: changed for us. You know, we changed this a couple 180 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: of years ago, um, and just to out of the 181 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: convenience for the betters. And you're not going to satisfy everybody, Jason, 182 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: but in our in our world, it seemed to work 183 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: best for us to keep bets action. So no matter 184 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: where it's played, all right, because sometimes they would play 185 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: in another arena across town or you know something that 186 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: really what really didn't make a difference. What what we're 187 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: seeing here, I mean from outside the inside. The total 188 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: actually is the one that's been affected the most. The 189 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: spread is relatively the same, um, but um, the total 190 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: is the big adjustment. Because we opened forty six and 191 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 1: a half, got bet all the way down to forty 192 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: two and a half. And I shouldn't say bet down, 193 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: but the market moved down. We took some bets on 194 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: the under close at forty two and a half there 195 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: and now the venue has changed and now it's forty 196 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: eight and a half. But to clarify, we want to 197 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: make sure that everybody knows that they betted at the 198 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: super Book. You do have action because it's uh as 199 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: long as it's played within eight day is no matter 200 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: where it's played, you have action. So you guys are 201 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: opening yourselves up for a fairly large middle here. Somebody 202 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: got you know, forty two. Uh, and now it's at 203 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: forty eight a half. I mean, there's a good ship. 204 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: I think forty four is one of the most popular 205 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: total numbers, right, So I mean, what what's the potential 206 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,719 Speaker 1: scare here for the for the sports book? How how? 207 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how much you can reveal 208 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: at this point, but um, is this is this a 209 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: massive problem for you guys? Nah, it's no, there's no 210 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: problem for us. I mean, you know, it's uh, you know, 211 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: most of the action, it's not gonna really come in 212 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: until let's say, you know, during the weekend. I'd say 213 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: majority of it will come in the last three days. 214 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: So we're well ahead of that. There were some early 215 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: bets on there, and I'm sure that some made out 216 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: and have a better number now and some might be 217 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: on the short end. But that goes back to my statement. 218 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: It's like, we can't you know, satisfy everybody, but we 219 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: do try to make it fair. It's in the it's 220 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: in the print that rules, and it's something that's uh, 221 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: you know, what's posted well before this, so it's not 222 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: something that we're making up as we fly. Okay, Jay, 223 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: I want to go through, uh the games, A couple 224 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: of the big ones. Uh. The game I want to 225 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: start with is Philadelphia at Indianapolis, and you know, it's 226 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: a fascinating game. Colt with the cover last week with 227 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday in Vegas Philadelphia. Obviously everybody watched that Island 228 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 1: game and they lose at home. So you know, we 229 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: talk a lot about the look aheadline here. Um, I'm 230 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: seeing it was anywhere nine and a half to ten 231 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 1: before what before last week's results. Then it comes out 232 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: and I'm seeing six and a half all week and 233 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 1: it looks like today somebody hit it. Now we know 234 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: limits go up on Thursdays. Um, how do you handle 235 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: this because it seems like a lot of people like, oh, 236 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: I gotta take the Colt here. Eagles are exposed, They've 237 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: got injuries and all Dallas Goddard is out in Jordan 238 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: Davis and wait, they just signed in Dominican Sue and 239 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: all that's suff feels like noise. I'm on Philadelphia here 240 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: and pretty confidently, so did you get six and a half? 241 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: I did nice? Okay, I know there's some news. I mean, 242 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: they signed a couple of guys over the last two days, 243 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: and I think that's probably why it stopped going down. 244 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: I mean, we opened nine and a half right now, 245 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 1: open nine and a half and forty three and a half, um, 246 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: and it got down to six and a half. But 247 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: now we're back up to seven. And I think that 248 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: seven that market just moved because of the signings and 249 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: all that. But um, so far, I'm looking at it, 250 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: it's like sixty percent of the bets are on the 251 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: Colts here right here we go that other discussion that 252 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: we're talking about. Uh, you know, I'm looking at you 253 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: know about now we do have some sharp play here 254 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,359 Speaker 1: on the Colts. You know, I think they took it early. Um, 255 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: and uh, they got those early numbers. Let's just let 256 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: me just double check that here Jay's and yeah, it 257 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: looks like they took um, they took that eight and 258 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 1: a half and eight. That's where the sharp play came in. 259 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: And when you say sharp play just for the audience, 260 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: is that um, respected betters or just large early week 261 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: bets are respected betters. You know, we know who's very 262 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: good and you know the NFL arena, and you know 263 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: some of those guys are you know they could bet 264 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: five thousand, they could bet ten thousand. Uh. You know, 265 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: we have you know, some great house players that play 266 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: fifty or a hundred thousand. We might not even move 267 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: the line, but you get one of those respected players, 268 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: sharp players. Uh, they can bet five ten dollars and 269 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: we're moving that line based off the reputation. So you 270 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: you gave out an interesting number sixty eight percent on 271 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: the colts. Now, we talked before we started recording about 272 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 1: UM bet splits and how people you know, listen, there's 273 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: a lot of new people gambling, right, there's gambling ads 274 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: are everywhere. They're given away literally giving away money to 275 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: get you to bet it. And a lot of people 276 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: are you know, not doing all the homework. They don't 277 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 1: you know, they're not, as you would say, a respected 278 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: gambler and they see, Wow, sixty eight percent on the colts. 279 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: Huh now is that? UM? Is that a significant number? 280 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: Sixty eight Now for what if it were eighty six? 281 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: We're talking about a public underdog here at six? UM, 282 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: how do you j having worked in the industry forever, 283 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: what what does sixty percent mean to you? UM? On 284 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: a game like this and on this specific day, you 285 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: know that that's sixty percent would mean maybe something different 286 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: if we were talking an hour before kickoff, you know, 287 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 1: I mean, the public really doesn't bet it until we 288 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: get to the weekend. And so when we talk about 289 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: sixty of the beds, it's probably more or less but 290 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: mostly educated play because they're the ones that jump on 291 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: it early. They're they're the ones that already have done 292 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: their homework. Uh so, uh, we're looking at a majority 293 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: of that sixty eight percent would fall under the category 294 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: of educated play because of the day we're talking. We're 295 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: talking here on Thursday. Again, if it was more let's 296 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: say an hour before kickoff, Um, then you're you're encompassing 297 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 1: all the public play, and then that percentage is gonna 298 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: mean it I mean something different. So you know, and 299 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: I know people have harped on this and this is 300 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: what we were talking about just a little while ago. 301 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: But when you know, we send this information out, I 302 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: personally send this information out, like sixty eight percent of 303 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: the bets are on you know the colds, um, and 304 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 1: people go, oh, you know that's not you know, handicapping information. Yeah, 305 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: you're right, I agree with you, Uh, it's more. It's more. 306 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: It's more or less uma entertainment information. Okay, Now do 307 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: some people use that to handicap Sure? I mean if 308 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: I were to look at that at six on a 309 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 1: Thursday and I was like, wow, okay, I can understand 310 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: that majority of the early play educated play is on Indianapolis. 311 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: Does that help you? Well, I guess that on is 312 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: that case? The case basis right? And I agree with 313 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: you that is interesting entertainment news. Now, what's more likely 314 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: to get pick up if you say sixty of the 315 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: people are on the colts or you say nothing? Right, Obviously, 316 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: that that's an interesting nugget. Wait a minute. The Eagles, 317 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: they they were undefeated. People were just talking about they 318 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: go seventeen or no, and now everybody's on the colts again. 319 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: Like it doesn't not everything has to be actionable, but 320 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: that I think is one of the big divides between 321 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: these like hardcore live and die through gambling versus people 322 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: who are doing it recreationally. Right. Sure, And like I said, 323 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: we're looking at this number on a Thursday, um, and 324 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: I think that number is going to change by the 325 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: time we get the kickoff, because where are they gonna 326 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: play well, the public okay, the general betting public. Let's 327 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: face it, um normally migrate to the perceived better team 328 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: or the better team in this case the Eagles, right, 329 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: So they most likely are going to bet the Eagles. 330 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: So by the time we get to kick off, I 331 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: can see that number being very close to Really, Now, 332 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: if you were to guess by kickoff which side of 333 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: seven this closes on, would you guess Jay seven and 334 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: a half or six and a half? And what would 335 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: you base that on? Maybe betting patterns, um, whatever. Well, 336 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: I think we already hit the low point here on 337 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: this game because we went from nine and a half 338 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 1: down to six and a half. Now it's migrating back up. Okay. 339 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 1: I would expect it to be on the high side 340 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: because even though we don't really move it on public 341 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: play unless it's very lopsided, you know, it depends on, 342 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 1: you know, what we're seeing on the other side. We 343 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: could see some respected play coming on Saturday. You know, 344 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 1: it really is on a case to case basis, and 345 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: and and how we move these things. You know, there's 346 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: ten things that go through your head every time you 347 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: move a game. There's there's a lot of different things 348 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: that we're looking at in this ace. You know, we 349 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: might not move it even though the entire betting public 350 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: is on the Eagles, because we've got some respect to 351 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: play on the colts. You guys, are one of the 352 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: books that actually takes respected bets. A lot of the 353 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: other ones, you know, they just will turn these guys away. 354 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: So how how do you handle being a market leader 355 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: or sticking to your guns? Like, let's say another book 356 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: goes to seven and a half, but you're like, I'm 357 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: not going there, I'm sticking on seven. How do you 358 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: guys handle that? Behind the scenes, Well, we have like 359 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 1: over a hundred years of bookmaking experience in our back room. 360 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: You know, we got guys like you know, Jeff Sherman 361 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 1: and Salmons and you know John Murray and myself. You know, 362 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: we we have a lot of experience, and we don't 363 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: make the right calls every time, Okay, but I think 364 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: we we most of our calls are pretty solid. Um 365 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: So when we're book making these things, um again, we're 366 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: really dissecting the type of money more than the amount 367 00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: of money. Um. So, we were always looking at you 368 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: know what side the most respected players are on. Uh 369 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: we we I could probably go right down the list 370 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: and tell you, Jason, I know where the betting public 371 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: is gonna go. So do you know where the I 372 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 1: guess the question, do you know where the respected betters 373 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: are gonna go? Because it's more but it's more about 374 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: quality than quantity. Yeah, you know, no, I mean sometimes 375 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: we we we have an idea, okay, um, you know, uh, 376 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: some of our guys are very good at that. And 377 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: you know, when we have discussions and in this small 378 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,239 Speaker 1: circle of ours, you know, we we point out some 379 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: factors that might tip the hand of some of the 380 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: sharpest players out there. And uh, you know there's also 381 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: when you know, we're talking about guys that might have betted, 382 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: you know, a week ago, because we put up the 383 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: NFL lines on Tuesday's you know, so um, meaning the 384 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: look aheadlines. So this past Tuesday, two days ago, you know, 385 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 1: we posted week twelve. Right, So the guys that are 386 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: really really sharp are the ones that really betted early, 387 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, and and they get some other late play 388 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: if if the number moves, um, I say, against what 389 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: their number is, you know, you could get some sharp play. Um, 390 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 1: you know, later in the week or right before game time, 391 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: pending you know, maybe pending, you know, inform injury information. 392 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: You've got a couple of key players and all of 393 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: a sudden they're both gonna be uh active. You know, 394 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: some of these guys are really good, and they get 395 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: that information before we do. Sometimes we get that information 396 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: before they do. So when I tell you that we 397 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: there's ten things that go through our head, you know 398 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: before uh you know, we move a line, you know 399 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: that can happen on any day at any time. Um. 400 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: Because when I told you that the sharp guys play 401 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 1: it early, um, you know they can play it very 402 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: very late when they start getting that injury uh those 403 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: injury updates too. So so the delta between the look 404 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: ahead for Eagles, Colts and currently was I would assume 405 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,160 Speaker 1: the biggest on the board. Or is there one it's 406 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: been larger? Uh this week I think it was the largest. Yeah, 407 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: yet another reason I like Ravens over the Panthers. Okay, 408 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: well let's talk about that when we know double digit 409 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: favorites have been awful this year. I think ten and 410 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 1: twenty one against the spread for whatever trends are worth. Um, 411 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: but talk to me about Panthers. Ravens. Well, we opened 412 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: twelve and a half and we are currently thirteen. So 413 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: let me just take a look. Okay here, you know 414 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: this game has been it's been lightly touched. We just 415 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: went to uh thirteen yesterday, so we we opened um, 416 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,479 Speaker 1: let's say we opened um last Tuesday. We opened at 417 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: twelve and a half, all right, Um, on Monday we 418 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: went down to eleven and a half, so we it 419 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: looks like we took um a little bit of educated 420 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: play there at twelve and a half, and that's why 421 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 1: we moved to the full point. But now it's just 422 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 1: been slowly creeping up to its present number thirteen. So 423 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: with that said, it looks like, first of all, it's 424 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: it's lightly wagered on. There's not that much action on 425 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,119 Speaker 1: this game right now. Um. And we dropped it down 426 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: early because we had some um, respected player take the points. 427 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: But since then the market has just kind of been 428 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: moving up and we're actually looking around and I see 429 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: some thirteen and a half right now. The reason why 430 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 1: we're probably thirteen is because that respected play that took 431 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,959 Speaker 1: up it looks like a bad number, which happens if 432 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: they took twelve and a half and now it's thirteen. Yeah, 433 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: well list a respected players. I mean they could be respected. 434 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: They also could win like fifty seven percent of the 435 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 1: time compared to you know, regular guys winning fifty three 436 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: or fifty four. Right, it's not like these guys. Nobody 437 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: is no no, no, you know. I mean, you know 438 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: a lot of people talk crazy out there, especially these days. 439 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: There's just so many, so many uh heads out there 440 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: that are just way and you you know, my advice 441 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: is to really filter a lot of that out. And 442 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: uh you know, uh sticks here, you know guys that 443 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: are you know, reputable and um, you know, not trying 444 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: to sell you anything. So let me let me try 445 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,120 Speaker 1: to guess the biggest you said you could tell where 446 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: the public is coming in. I'm gonna guess, and I 447 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: don't mind being wrong. I'm gonna guess the public is 448 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: all over New England. Yet the line is coming down 449 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: and there's respected money on the jets. Um let me 450 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: see here, just a sec open five and a half 451 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: and now down to three and a half. So and 452 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: the look aheadline was five and a half. So it 453 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: went all the way down to three let's see Monday 454 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: and then knacked up three and a half. Interesting, both 455 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: were on the bye week. Yeah, it looks like we've 456 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: got some educated play on the dog, especially at anything 457 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: above four and above. Let's arps are taking hmm. Now again, 458 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: you're all your experience. Everybody and their mom knows the 459 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: Patriots have beaten the Jets thirteen times in a row. 460 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: Belichick for Zec Wilson, blah blah blah blah blah. What 461 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: do you jay in all your time? What do you 462 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: see here in Patriots Jets? Well, the I think that 463 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: what the Sharps look at are with with the Jets, 464 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 1: um are their their defense. It's it's all about their defense. 465 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: It's all about Uh, it's probably an underrated defense. But 466 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: looking at a low scoring game, Um, even though you 467 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: know those those numbers like they've never beaten or thirteen 468 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 1: straight times, it's not part of our linemaking. Yeah, that's 469 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: you know. We we look at it as okay, who 470 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: are what are they going to field on Sunday? This 471 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: is this team versus this team? And the Jets have 472 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: been underrated pretty much all year, but they've pinned a 473 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: sharp play. The Sharps of like the Jets before, they 474 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: were actually decent, and it was mainly because that defense. 475 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: That defense has kept a lot of games close. And 476 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 1: I think that's what they're looking for. Obviously, the Patriots 477 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: despite their history, Um, you know, they're not scoring a 478 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: tremendous amount of points, so anything about four or above looked. Uh. 479 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 1: I guess they see they see perceived value, you know. 480 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm trying to get in the heads of 481 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: some of the sharps here and I can't always do that, 482 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: but it looks like they, you know, in a close game, 483 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: close low scoring game, and with that Jets defense, Uh, 484 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: they see some value on the Jets at plus four 485 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: and above. Yeah, people seem to forget Mac Jones is 486 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: not the guy he was last year. I know, first 487 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: impressions are everything, and he was offensive Rookie of the 488 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: year whatever he was. He's been atrocious this year, like 489 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: worse than Zack Wilson according to Pro Football Focus. And 490 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: you know, as a Jets fan for over thirty years, 491 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: I could just tell you this, Jay. They had a 492 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: pick six against Mac Jones that would have made it 493 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: seventeen three before the half, and of course there was 494 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 1: a penalty and that flipped a game. And then Zack Wilson, 495 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: you know, does his thing where urinates all over himself. 496 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: But I don't want to revisit that game. I'm a 497 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: Jets fan and I missed the best number on this, 498 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: which makes me a little piste off. So I'm probably 499 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: not gonna bet this. You know you're looking at it. 500 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 1: He's not gonna get back to four, though, is it? 501 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: Maybe not? Because you know it looks like the sharpest 502 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: are gonna keep that down. In fact, they might go 503 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: down to three. Yeah. I mean maybe I could take 504 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: a nibble of three and a half. But if I'm 505 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: not getting the best number, what's the point one that 506 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: I think I probably got the best number on? This 507 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 1: is again not a sexy game, but the Houston Texans 508 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: did not cover last week, but showed pretty well against 509 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: the Giants and then Washington, which got every turnover in 510 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,120 Speaker 1: the book from the Eagles and one there now suddenly 511 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: road favorites, Taylor Heineke laying money, laying numbers on the road. 512 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: I think, did you guys get this to three and 513 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: a half? Um? We opened two and a half, and uh, 514 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:06,239 Speaker 1: you know, with with that performance on Monday, I know 515 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 1: that they're gonna garner a lot of tickets, a lot 516 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: of fans, a lot of tickets on the Commanders. So 517 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: early look aheadline was two and a half. We opened 518 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:20,719 Speaker 1: on Sunday. Uh, let's see two and a half, and 519 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: then um, Tuesday we went to three and now we're 520 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: staying three one three. Now we're at three flat. So 521 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna see a three and a half jack, Yeah, 522 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: probably because no one's bets the Texans. Yeah, nobody's touching that. 523 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: I know. That's again nobody cares about, so we can 524 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: we can move on. But yeah, personally, I don't like 525 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: those you know, teams playing the you know, a very emotional, 526 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: really solid game on Monday and then having that short week. Uh. 527 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: I just uh, I don't have a lot of faith 528 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: in in that scenario where they look so good on 529 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: Monday and then everybody, you know, everybody's focuses on that 530 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: team based off of that performance on Monday in pump 531 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: up the line if it goes to three and a half, 532 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: Sure that would be appealing to some.

All right, I say the best 537 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,840 Speaker 1: best for last Cowboys vikings. Um, I am curious, what 538 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,040 Speaker 1: was this first of all, what was the look ahead? 539 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: And then talk me through you guys behind the scenes. Um, 540 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: after Sunday's results with the Vikings stunning lucky victory and 541 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys stunning lucky collapse, unlucky collapse. Yeah, and it's 542 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: kind of like that. I mean, you know, we you know, 543 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: Vikings power ranking is not very good, and that's why 544 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: you see the Cowboys favorite. You know a lot of 545 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: people look at and go, how could the Cowboys be 546 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: favorite of the Vikings of Vikings? Are you know, I 547 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,719 Speaker 1: only have one loss, and I'm like, yeah, but if 548 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: you look at the Viking schedule in look at their wins, 549 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: you know they've won a few, you know, by the 550 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: skin of the seven seven one skin one win victories 551 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: in a row, one score, right, And so that's why 552 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: you see you know the number, I mean, you've got 553 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: it just highest two and a half, you know, and 554 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: it's back down to one and a half now. But 555 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: power ranking wise, the Cowboys are viewed as a better 556 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: team and I I agree with that. Um, the Vikings 557 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: have been very fortunate. I mean, if there's four or 558 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: five plays that just go the other way against the Vikings, 559 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: they're looking at a five D team. Uh. You know, 560 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: the Cowboys look like uh, you know, the real deal, 561 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: and they've been impressive at times. But I don't understand 562 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: the claps against Packers. But that's the NFL. Okay, you 563 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: can't explain everything. And looking at the Cowboys, um, you know, 564 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: I I think that they're one of the top teams, 565 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: uh in the NFC. You know, you you look at 566 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: the Eagles, you look at the Cowboys. Of course you 567 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: look at the forty niners. But right behind that group 568 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,719 Speaker 1: would probably be maybe maybe the Vikings, um, you know, 569 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: Vikings probably be in the top five, but there's certainly 570 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: not in the top three. So so you guys have 571 00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: your core group in the back, behind the scenes, deciding 572 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: what to do. Did anyone uh Salmon's were any of them? 573 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: Did anyone say let's open pick um? The look aheadline 574 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 1: was picked Jason, Yeah, but not this week, you know. Uh. 575 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: In fact, I know and others were more in favor 576 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: of two and a half than anything else. I think 577 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: we had in the room anywhere from one to two 578 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: and a half on the Cowboys. Two and a half 579 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: one out, and so we opened two and a half 580 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: and the next thing, you know, is down to two um, 581 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 1: and then on what Monday we opened up, it went 582 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 1: down to one as a market was going down. Then 583 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: it's been going back and forth between one and one 584 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: and a half since Monday. Yeah, so j this just 585 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: just hearing you talk through the at UM. I'm just curious. 586 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: Have you ever considered, Hey, guys, why don't we live 587 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: stream this Sunday night meeting meeting of the great minds 588 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: behind the scenes in Vegas. Do you guys a hundred 589 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: years of experience, Like you said, let's live stream this 590 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: for anybody who wants to watch our process, because I 591 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: know people can say, oh, that's crazy. You can't give like, dude, 592 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: nobody knows what's gonna happen in these games, absolutely nobody. 593 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: It's so much of it as a coin flip and 594 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: freaky stuff. I've been on the unfortunate side of several 595 00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: of them this season. But you guys have the experience 596 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: and you set the lines. Have you thought about I'm 597 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 1: live streaming one on on Twitch or or Instagram Live 598 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: or any of that. Have you considered that? No, is 599 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: there a reason why not. I'm sure people would do. 600 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: There's uh, you know, just have cameras and stuff like 601 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: that in our back room. There's a lot of sensitive 602 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: stuff back there that you know, we don't want to 603 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: you know, and just taking the time because we're so 604 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,479 Speaker 1: we're really busy, we really are, and trying to get 605 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: all this stuff down where we're operating and you know, 606 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: six states now, and uh, there's there's a lot going 607 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: on this to set all this thing up. And you know, 608 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: I would kind of tell people it's like, yeah, if 609 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: you saw us back there making lines, I think you'd 610 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: probably be disappointed because like the like algorithms and crunching 611 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 1: all these numbers. You know, it's it's a very much 612 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: art form of you know, we do have power rankings 613 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: that we always based it off of, and from that 614 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 1: power rankings, that's our start from. That's our starting point, 615 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: and then we have those conversations and then we come 616 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: up with that line. But Jay, those power ranks, they're 617 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: not you guys talk about them. You guys all do 618 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,520 Speaker 1: radio hits and podcast hits right there, not private information 619 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: that nobody knows, right, No, there's I mean, yeah, I 620 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: don't know if they have access to our power ranks, 621 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: but we're talking about them all the time. I Mean, 622 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: we're we're pretty much an open book, because just going 623 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: back to what you just said, Yeah, nobody knows who's 624 00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: gonna win this thing. I mean, what we're trying to 625 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: do is make both sides attractive, but that rarely happens. 626 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: And then you really have to take your skill and 627 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 1: your your experience as a bookmaker to move it the 628 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: correct way. Yeah. The reason I even bring this up 629 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: is because this is a crowded marketplace. All of a sudden, 630 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of people crow barring. I mean, 631 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: I don't know how many sports books are out there 632 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: in Vegas now, but now you've got nationwide. You said 633 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: you're in six states. I mean I think Maryland just 634 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 1: came on board this week. Uh, California, you know, the 635 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: idiots out here, we didn't vote for it. But pretty 636 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: soon it's gonna be nationwide. I would say, what five, six, 637 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: seven years, pretty much gambling in the Continental forty eight. 638 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: And then at that point, it's like, you know, you 639 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: guys have interest in being at the top of the market, 640 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,919 Speaker 1: or at least being a market leader, and some kind 641 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: of behind the scenes show Sunday. I'm just telling you, 642 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: I predict that one of the sports books will attempt 643 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: something like this with the personalities you've got the guys 644 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 1: in Vegas. I would have loved to have heard your 645 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: guy who said Cowboys one and a half versus the 646 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 1: other guy who said two and a half. I would 647 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: have just loved to hear that breakdown. And again, maybe 648 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 1: I'm just the weirdo who's interested in that, but hearing 649 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 1: you take us behind the scenes to me is fascinating. Yeah, 650 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,359 Speaker 1: and I get that part. I mean, we've been doing 651 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,720 Speaker 1: it for so long and and uh, you know, we 652 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: we it's a pretty quick process for us. We go 653 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,439 Speaker 1: through the lines, and we because we know that we're 654 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: right there in the ballpark and you know, the number 655 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 1: is gonna probably be changing, you know, you know throughout 656 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: the whole week, and we're still going to, um really 657 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: value some of the sharpest play out there, because those 658 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 1: guys are are very good there there. You know, we 659 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: respect them, um, you know, to the highest level. And uh, 660 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,800 Speaker 1: you know that's what really you know, molds that line 661 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: of where it should be and so ours is just 662 00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: a starting point. But you know it's, oh, it's so busy, 663 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: and it's like it's not like three o'clock Pacific time. 664 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,720 Speaker 1: Do we all get together. It's whenever we have that window, 665 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's like, oh, we gotta do it at too, 666 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: because we've got you know, we've got people coming in 667 00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: the show. Is like, it's it's a it's a little 668 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 1: more challenging for us to do something like that because 669 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: we are making these lines during the course of the 670 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: other games still being played. Yeah, so we we got 671 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: we got our hands full on Sundays, clearly, all right, 672 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: The last, truly last question. So you said earlier that 673 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 1: the Sharps have been on the Jets, um if you 674 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,840 Speaker 1: were too, and you know, obviously they're not gonna tell us, 675 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 1: but the most respected betters. Is there a team or 676 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: two they've been writing or is there a team or 677 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: two you see them jumping on here as we hit 678 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: in November December. Well, the I mentioned the Jets, they 679 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 1: that are hop on on them earlier, I would say 680 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: Seahawks as well. That's kind of a sharp guy play 681 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:07,560 Speaker 1: before the public started noticing that they were winning. The Titans. Also, 682 00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: the Titans have also been a sharp play over the weeks. 683 00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,919 Speaker 1: I would consider them a sharp play. Um, not every week, 684 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: but in general we're talking about and they they noticed 685 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,760 Speaker 1: those teams prior to most people. So, um, the Titans 686 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 1: are a little where because the Titans have been the 687 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: Sharp play the Sharps love the Titans over the last 688 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: couple of years. And and uh, you know, I know 689 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 1: that they're a very physical team. They can run. Obviously 690 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 1: they run the ball. But you know they're not definitely 691 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: not a public team. Um, but the Sharp the not 692 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:50,360 Speaker 1: they're not sexy, right, Seattle came in low expectations, not sexy. Right. Um. 693 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 1: I can tell you right now, my guests that feel 694 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 1: free to disagree, I believe that the sharp team going 695 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: forward starting this week is going to be the Baltimore Evens. 696 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: Schedule is unbelievably easy. And I feel like they're undervalued 697 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:07,760 Speaker 1: because Lamar hasn't been great. They don't have a marquee receiver, 698 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: they don't have a marquee running back. It's like, I 699 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: don't know, I'm kind of all in on hardball here. 700 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: End of the season. I wouldn't be shocked if they 701 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 1: tried to get the number one or two seed with 702 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: the schedule they've got the rest of the way. Yeah, 703 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: And I was looking at the game to game bases. Uh, 704 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 1: you know some of these uh, you know, Sharp plays 705 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: as far as futures and the overall look from you know, 706 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 1: thirty thousand you know feet you know, uh, you know, 707 00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: the sharp guys probably wouldn't really like the Ravens right 708 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 1: now or this week, you know, laying thirteen. They don't 709 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: like to lay a lot of points like that. And 710 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that they'll never do it, but they 711 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 1: do shy away from those type of spreads. But the Ravens, 712 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,839 Speaker 1: you're right, has they have a very easy schedule. You know, 713 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: hopefully they get healthy here because you know, their receivers 714 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: have been a mess all season long, and they luckily 715 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: they had three or four running backs that were all 716 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 1: about the same caliber. Right, uh, look at the Cowboys 717 00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:06,000 Speaker 1: to the Cowboys ever after this game, they have a 718 00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: very easy schedule. While I got you here, what's the 719 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: line for Thanksgiving Day? Is it? Cowboys Giants? Yes, that's 720 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,040 Speaker 1: the middle game, right and that Cowboys are we opened 721 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: six and a half now seven on on the Cowboys. 722 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: Interesting because if the Cowboys happened to lose to the 723 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,280 Speaker 1: Vikings this week, all of a sudden, it's like, huh 724 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: are they fighting for a wild card spot? And then 725 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 1: that Giants game next week? I don't think that's gonna 726 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: be a cake walk against Table. He's a really good 727 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: coach man. Anyways, I've kept you too long. Um this 728 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:43,320 Speaker 1: is great stuff. Audience loves it. Um So Jake Cornergy 729 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: super book at Westgate. Thanks a lot for taking the time. Man, 730 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 1: good luck.

Great stuff from Ja Corner game again. 740 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,319 Speaker 1: I know that the two that jump out to me 741 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,760 Speaker 1: are Eagles Colts, and aside from the venue change for 742 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 1: Bill's Browns, I think I think Cowboys Vikings jumps out 743 00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 1: as well. It's weird. I've initially my first read was 744 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 1: Vikings um very early in the week, and then it 745 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,919 Speaker 1: took like twenty four hours before I was like, wait 746 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 1: a minute, no, no, no, Cowboys. Cow has to be 747 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: the Cowboys at any rate. I'll get to NFL in 748 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: a moment. I quickly. You guys know him Stoke for 749 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 1: the World Cup. So I have been, let's just say, 750 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: betting on his to World Cup as I can. It's 751 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,240 Speaker 1: only comes around every four years. So I did fire 752 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 1: on the opener Ecuador. I'm on Ecuador money line plus 753 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:08,360 Speaker 1: one forty one against guitar. I may have mentioned that 754 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,280 Speaker 1: on a podcast earlier this week, but I'm on Ecuador. 755 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: So to reach the quarterfinals, I have Canada plus twelve fifty. 756 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: I think they can get out of the group and 757 00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:24,240 Speaker 1: win a game. Mexico plus five hundred and Uruguay plus 758 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 1: two twenty has to get to the quarterfinals. For this 759 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: is a bit of a This is one. Instantly my buddy, 760 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 1: who's a big soccer guy, got on my case. He 761 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:35,839 Speaker 1: was like, oh, I don't know about that, and then 762 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 1: we discussed it and he's like, I kind of like it. France, 763 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,480 Speaker 1: which has some major injury issues to like three very 764 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 1: good players, still is a loaded roster. I mean, you 765 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,719 Speaker 1: got him, bob A, you got Benza, You're gonna be 766 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 1: in good shape. I took France for the total goals 767 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 1: for the tournament under ten and a half. Now, instantly, 768 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: when I put that on, I g Somebody's like, dude, 769 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: they're gonna smoke Tunisia five nothing. I was like, are 770 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 1: they Is it gonna be five? It's five. I'm in trouble. 771 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,439 Speaker 1: I don't know that they get out of group play, 772 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: that's the one thing. Now, if they do and they 773 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: get to the knockout stages, then yeah, under teen point 774 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: five is is not gonna be a good bet. But 775 00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,879 Speaker 1: I took it. I took over three and a half 776 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,040 Speaker 1: goals for the US in the tournament. Now here's where 777 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: I think that's miss priced. So if you look at 778 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 1: most of the betting markets, the US is expected to 779 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,879 Speaker 1: get out of group play, so they should. They are 780 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:35,399 Speaker 1: expected to get a fourth game, even if they don't 781 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: score against England. Let's say England shuts them out one nothing, 782 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,120 Speaker 1: England scores are an early goal and then hunkers down 783 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: on defense. I've got like all superstars on defense and 784 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 1: the US doesn't get one. There you're telling me they 785 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:50,319 Speaker 1: can't score four goals in three games. The other three 786 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 1: games at what Iran's defense is incredible? I mean, And 787 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: of course I did research this and I wrote it 788 00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 1: up for Fox Sports. Um, so every time the US 789 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,879 Speaker 1: has made the knockout round this century. So in two 790 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,719 Speaker 1: thousand two they scored seven goals, In two thousand and 791 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,279 Speaker 1: ten they scored five goals. In two thousand fourteen they 792 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: scored five goals. That's just getting out of the group stage, right, 793 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,279 Speaker 1: So four games, you tell me they can't score four goals. 794 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,399 Speaker 1: Now there is some juice minus. I guess the big 795 00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,560 Speaker 1: question is a lot of people. One of the things 796 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 1: you look at and and you know, I have this 797 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,560 Speaker 1: big handicapping breakdown as I've been looking over this stuff 798 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: for a while. What are the important gambling factors that 799 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: you look into in the World Cup? And um, number 800 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 1: three on my list is how is the team? How 801 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 1: is their form like the last five to ten games? Well, 802 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 1: if you just look at the last two games for 803 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 1: the US, the final two games that were tune ups, 804 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 1: wasn't good. Did not score against Saudi Arabia, did not 805 00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,760 Speaker 1: score against Japan. There are questions it forward. I like Ferreira. 806 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,760 Speaker 1: You can go back and listen to the Alexei Lallas podcast. 807 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 1: I like Ferrera a lot um hajji. Right, nobody anybody 808 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:13,359 Speaker 1: who's drawing up predictions of who's gonna make the US roster. 809 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:17,240 Speaker 1: Nobody that I saw had hagy Right making the team. Okay, 810 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,959 Speaker 1: Burl picked him. I don't know if Hagi Right's gonna play. 811 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: I just it's a stunner. So the question is who's scoring. Oh, 812 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:28,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna be political politic Jason. Okay, I'm sure the 813 00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 1: opponents know that the best player on the U S 814 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: by a mile is Politic. And yes, Tyler Adams very 815 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 1: good and McKinney's awesome, and I like the team. But 816 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,839 Speaker 1: Pulistic is the guy. They're gonna try to scheme him out. 817 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,880 Speaker 1: That's obvious. So then whose course, And that's where there 818 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 1: are questions. I mean, guys, I don't know how many 819 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 1: times Josie out Door played World Cup games, big matches 820 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, that's gotta be the guy, and 821 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 1: he just never delivered. So there is a hedge. If 822 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,480 Speaker 1: you don't like over three and a half goals in 823 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 1: the for the USA in the tournament, Okay, you're not 824 00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,839 Speaker 1: gonna like this lowest scoring team at the World Cup. 825 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 1: US plus you can do that hedge. Now, I did 826 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,399 Speaker 1: look in two thousand six when there were expectations because 827 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 1: the US was good in two thousand two, they made 828 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,560 Speaker 1: the quarters. In two thousand six, they got destroyed in 829 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 1: their opener against Czech Republic and then they only ended 830 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:20,440 Speaker 1: up scoring two goals in the entire tournament. That was 831 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 1: among the worst at the Cup. But Trinidad and Tobago 832 00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,840 Speaker 1: didn't score. Togo, I don't even know what that is, 833 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,560 Speaker 1: scored one, and Gola scored one. But the field is 834 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 1: way better and stronger and deeper, as is everything in sports, 835 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,880 Speaker 1: than it was in two thousand and six. So you 836 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 1: know there's a chip if the US. I'm just there's 837 00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,160 Speaker 1: a doomsday scenario for the US. I do not want 838 00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 1: it to happen. It could happen. If the US loses 839 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: the opener of Wales, then they have to face England. 840 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 1: Everything on the line against England, and England's one of 841 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,480 Speaker 1: like the top three or four teams. Some would argue 842 00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 1: maybe two in the entire field. So you go down. 843 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 1: If you lose that game, it's over. You're not advancing. 844 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: And then do they just toss out a bunch of 845 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 1: guys off the bench in game three so you can 846 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:12,479 Speaker 1: get some experience leading into and there's a scenario where 847 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 1: those guys just haven't played together and the US totally flops. Like, listen, 848 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:20,759 Speaker 1: that's ultimate doomsday. It could happen. I'm just saying that 849 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,719 Speaker 1: that is a possibility. Now. To hedge that out, well, 850 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,040 Speaker 1: this is not really ahead. This is pie in the sky. 851 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,200 Speaker 1: USA to reach the quarterfinals plus four fifty. Now, by 852 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,680 Speaker 1: the way, I did look this up, Mexico was plus 853 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 1: five hundred to reach the quarterfinals, which is crazy. So 854 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 1: the market saying the US has a better chance. Of course, 855 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,799 Speaker 1: if they finished second in their group, they're gonna face 856 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 1: the top team from the second group, which would likely 857 00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: be Netherlands. But if somehow Netherlands slips up and it's 858 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 1: not Laarrange, it would be Ecuador Senegal. And I'm telling 859 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 1: you Senegal's best players out for the tournament, so it 860 00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:00,360 Speaker 1: could be Ecuador Ecuador and great. So you're telling me 861 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:04,520 Speaker 1: all the US has to do beat Wales, lose or 862 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: tie to England, beat Iran. That's they're gonna be favored 863 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:11,000 Speaker 1: in both those other two games and their advance. You 864 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 1: get two wins, you're advancing, and if they get lucky 865 00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 1: and they don't have to face Netherlands, where they would 866 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,320 Speaker 1: be a dog. I think they'll be favored over Ecuador. 867 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,239 Speaker 1: I don't know about Senegal. Senegal's best players not here. 868 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 1: I don't know how they're going to perform money uh 869 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 1: epl superstar. That guy's a machine goal scoring genius. Okay, 870 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 1: So if they happen to face Ecuador Senecal, I think 871 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,879 Speaker 1: they got a chance and boom, you're in the quarterfinals. 872 00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,479 Speaker 1: So there is a path to the quarters for the US. 873 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 1: I mean, who knows, maybe the England. Maybe England, the 874 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 1: pressure gets to them. We've seen them crumble in big 875 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:47,720 Speaker 1: moments in World Cup history. So they win the group 876 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: and then they don't have to face Netherlands. Likely they 877 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:55,239 Speaker 1: would face Ecuador Senegal. Okay, I know this is optimistic. 878 00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,920 Speaker 1: I'm all over the place, but there are so many scenarios. 879 00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,880 Speaker 1: This is so exciting. I'm just I'm geeked. Okay. So 880 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:03,640 Speaker 1: that's my World Cup gambling for the first weekend. Now 881 00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:07,439 Speaker 1: let's get to NFL this weekend. Good three okay, three 882 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,720 Speaker 1: and two in the contest last week, even a rationally 883 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,080 Speaker 1: large number of wagers. This week, let's start. I'm just 884 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 1: telling you what I got early in the week, and 885 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,359 Speaker 1: I probably should say it at the time because it's 886 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 1: not available now. But Steelers five that that was before 887 00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: I found out about the DJ reader uh return to 888 00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 1: the lineup for the Bengals very important to stopping the 889 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,920 Speaker 1: run game. Steelers did beat the Bengals in the opener. 890 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 1: Burrow was awful, but he was he hadn't played in 891 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 1: the preseason. He was coming off the appendeck to me, 892 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 1: he did after more chase though T J. Watt absolutely 893 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 1: eviscerated Lael Collins off the edge t J Watt's back. 894 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if Benn fit Patrick's gonna play it. 895 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 1: It doesn't appear so, but either way, I got the 896 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 1: Steelers getting five. Um, it's down to three and a half. 897 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 1: I don't obviously don't like it at three. I think 898 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,279 Speaker 1: it's at four. I would take it still four and 899 00:48:58,280 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 1: a half. Three and a half a little dicey for me, 900 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,840 Speaker 1: but I got the Steelers I have. I'm on the 901 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 1: Ravens at minus twelve and a half. And if you 902 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,120 Speaker 1: listen to the interview, and shame on you if you 903 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,440 Speaker 1: just fast forward to the end for my bets, but 904 00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 1: if you listen to the interview with Jake Cornegy, you 905 00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,240 Speaker 1: know I'm bullish on the Ravens and by Stock. Now, okay, 906 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: John Harball coming off the by I think is eleven 907 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,600 Speaker 1: and three against the spread. Baker Mayfield is not going 908 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:24,520 Speaker 1: to surprise them. They've seen him for a couple of years. 909 00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,880 Speaker 1: They know what he's capable of and not capable of. 910 00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:32,839 Speaker 1: I think Baltimore puts it on Carolina, and if Cincinnati 911 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,279 Speaker 1: loses to the Bengals, Baltimore is now up a couple 912 00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,239 Speaker 1: of games in the division. Starts to get Harry. I'm 913 00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,840 Speaker 1: just telling you that Bengal schedule is brutal, guys, but 914 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:42,919 Speaker 1: both of the Super Bowl team from last year could 915 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:46,399 Speaker 1: easily miss the playoffs. Um a couple of totals. Now, 916 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,080 Speaker 1: I did get a little lucky here. I didn't even 917 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,560 Speaker 1: know I had bet this when I was talking to Cornegate, 918 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,480 Speaker 1: but I did take the over forty two in Bill's Cleveland. 919 00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,359 Speaker 1: That's long gone because the game has been moved. I 920 00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 1: had bet it on the case of a snow over. 921 00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:02,040 Speaker 1: You guys are familiar with the snow overs um where 922 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,279 Speaker 1: everybody thinks, oh, you gotta bet the under because the 923 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,840 Speaker 1: snow wrong. The defense has no clue where what's happening. 924 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 1: It's tough to stop the offense and knows exactly what 925 00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,360 Speaker 1: they're doing. Big advantage to the offense in snow games. 926 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:15,359 Speaker 1: So it went down to forty two and a half. 927 00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,360 Speaker 1: I took you over. Now it's indoors Bill should have 928 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,200 Speaker 1: their way with Cleveland. I mean, hell, Miami just crushed him. 929 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 1: So I feel confident in that one. Uh, Dallas Minnesota 930 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,040 Speaker 1: over forty eight and a half. A little buyer's remorse 931 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,800 Speaker 1: on that, because I can see this. This Dallas defense 932 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 1: looks like dry Saw, the left tackle for Minnesota who, 933 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,839 Speaker 1: according to Pro Football Focus, has graded out as the 934 00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,280 Speaker 1: number one left tackle in football this season. I believe 935 00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,239 Speaker 1: there's that was he had allowed no pressures. I said 936 00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,800 Speaker 1: this on Cowherd on Thursday, and his head like exploded. 937 00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,480 Speaker 1: He had a number one left tackle in football. And oh, 938 00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:50,480 Speaker 1: by the way, Mica Parsons, did you guys see what 939 00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,840 Speaker 1: he did last week? Zero pressures? Worst game in his career. 940 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:57,880 Speaker 1: So I was reading about why what happened and apparently 941 00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,719 Speaker 1: he only rushed the passer eight times. Now, a lot 942 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 1: of it had to do with the Packers running the football, 943 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 1: but apparently Anthony Barr is their coverage linebacker. With Bar out, 944 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 1: they put Parsons in that role, which didn't totally make sense, 945 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:12,920 Speaker 1: but I guess they had to do something. Sounds like 946 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 1: Anthony Barr's back and will play, so Parsons gets back 947 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,680 Speaker 1: to his I'm gonna set the edge and I'm going 948 00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:22,919 Speaker 1: to terrorize the quarterback. Michael Parsons versus a backup left 949 00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,400 Speaker 1: tackle is a recipe for disaster. If you missed Thursday's 950 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,920 Speaker 1: podcast with Sam Monson where he talked about this extensively 951 00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,760 Speaker 1: good stuff. I have the over fifty and a half 952 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:38,960 Speaker 1: in Bears Falcons in justin fields we trust. Um. I 953 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,319 Speaker 1: have the forty Niners minus seven and a half. Look 954 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,799 Speaker 1: like that's going up if you listen to I think 955 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,440 Speaker 1: it was Monday's podcast. Teams that did not cover verse 956 00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,920 Speaker 1: teams that did. It's not always a winning path, it's 957 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:54,239 Speaker 1: just one factor. I like to toss in San Francisco, 958 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:59,560 Speaker 1: did not cover Arizona, did games in Mexico. San Franz unimpressive. 959 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,680 Speaker 1: Last week. I think they bounced back, even though I 960 00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:05,080 Speaker 1: know some of the Kyle Shanahan in prime time stuff 961 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:09,800 Speaker 1: is very sketchy and um. In terms of the contest, 962 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna have the Cowboys in there. Uhts will 963 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:17,240 Speaker 1: be on their Eagles will be on there. I think 964 00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,239 Speaker 1: I probably should look. If the Texans are three and 965 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:21,960 Speaker 1: a half, I'm gonna take them. I know that's not 966 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 1: gonna be popular, but I'll just ride with Davis mills 967 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,719 Speaker 1: Um at home against Washington. You know, we talked about 968 00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:29,880 Speaker 1: it a little bit with Jake Cornergy. Washington just a 969 00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,680 Speaker 1: little bit overrated off that Monday night football win. I 970 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,080 Speaker 1: don't you know. Listen, they were good, but the Eagles 971 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,200 Speaker 1: did turn the ball over three times and they were 972 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,319 Speaker 1: driving for the go ahead uh touchdown late in the 973 00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:46,520 Speaker 1: game when what's his name fumbled after the fifty completion. 974 00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:50,840 Speaker 1: Just kind of freaky stuff. Um, And I guess the 975 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,040 Speaker 1: last one is I'm looking at Detroit waiting on the 976 00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,879 Speaker 1: weather in New York. I like Detroit in the spot. 977 00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:59,959 Speaker 1: I know I don't like Jared Goff outdoors. Ever, We've 978 00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,080 Speaker 1: talked about this extensively for some reason. If I can 979 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:04,640 Speaker 1: get the three and a half, I think I'll take it. 980 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:10,320 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna round this out by folks try to 981 00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,239 Speaker 1: avoid betting on my Jets. But I did have a 982 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 1: four week stretch where I nailed every Jets game. I 983 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:20,400 Speaker 1: backed off in the last Patriots game. Didn't. Something smelled wrong, 984 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,879 Speaker 1: And of course I don't want to revisit the pick six. 985 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,920 Speaker 1: It wasn't. But I think I'm ready. I didn't get 986 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:29,440 Speaker 1: on them last week against the Bills. I didn't have 987 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,839 Speaker 1: that much faith. I think I'm ready to get back. 988 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:33,680 Speaker 1: At three and a half, the Jets are gonna be 989 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,840 Speaker 1: a bye for me. I'm taking it. I don't have 990 00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,680 Speaker 1: any faith in Mac Jones and I If the Jets 991 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,200 Speaker 1: win this game, folks, I saw one of these, like 992 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,640 Speaker 1: uh playoff percentage chances. Their chances to make the playoffs 993 00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:48,239 Speaker 1: goes up to like or something ridiculous. But they need 994 00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:52,560 Speaker 1: this without it, Jet season probably over. With that, we 995 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,200 Speaker 1: will wrap up for the weekend.
