Speaker 1: so j B, thank you for being here as well.
Speaker 1: Thank you. We'll throw it to you for your thoughts
Speaker 1: every once in a while as well. But of course,
Speaker 1: the gentleman that I am referring to, who is the
Speaker 1: staple of the show for so many years, ladies and
Speaker 1: gentlemen from Los Angeles this morning, the director of the
Speaker 1: South Book, Hotel Casino Sports Book. It's our own Christie Andrews.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Chrissy. What's going on now? How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing very well. Let's start with that. How are
Speaker 1: you feeling, uh, you know, all things considered, I'm feeling great.
Speaker 1: So everything's been. Everything's been very positive. People asking me
Speaker 1: about it all the time, but no, nothing bad. I
Speaker 1: feel good. But the doctors are still checking a lot
Speaker 1: of different things that have the potential to go wrong.
Speaker 1: But so far everything has been great. No news is
Speaker 1: good news like that. Now, ask me how I'm feeling, Chrissy.
Speaker 1: After yesterday we were thinking about you during that Redskin game.
Speaker 1: Trust me, how you feeling you? Well? I had the
Speaker 1: Eagles and I had the Lions. That's how I feel. Um.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, welcome, Welcome to the NFL. First of all,
Speaker 1: let me just let's start with that mac Ro statement
Speaker 1: the Redskins touchdown back of door garbage touchdown case Keenum
Speaker 1: to trade Quinn with six seconds left, uh, Caesar's director
Speaker 1: of trading Jeff Davis saying that was a seven figure swing,
Speaker 1: MGM saying about a five thousand dollar swinging. I know
Speaker 1: you guys at the South Point stations and c G
Speaker 1: also needed Washington there, so that was good for you.
Speaker 1: I suppose at the end it was very good. I
Speaker 1: wanted to go seven figures for us, but it was.
Speaker 1: It was certainly in the sixes. I could tell you
Speaker 1: that it was. It was a big one, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, and half time it looked like we were
Speaker 1: just counting our money. Looked pretty good, you know, And
Speaker 1: I figured you wanted the Redskins out right, of course,
Speaker 1: you know, you being a long time Redskin fan. That
Speaker 1: would have been nice if we had gotten that. That
Speaker 1: would have killed a whole bunch of teasers. But as
Speaker 1: it as it were, I was high personally, was very
Speaker 1: happy with that last second touchdown. I didn't think we'd
Speaker 1: get it, but we'd round up getting lucky with that one. Well,
Speaker 1: you're accurate. My whole thing was, well, if they can't win,
Speaker 1: then don't cover, and it's or psych I CT screwed
Speaker 1: on both ends, by the way, when they're down seventeen
Speaker 1: to nothing, the Redskin defeatist fan in me said to
Speaker 1: Todd Wishnev and Mike Palm watched the Eagles will still
Speaker 1: cover and probably should have. In the uh the other
Speaker 1: one Cardinals covering late, which was the other just horrific
Speaker 1: one that I was on the wrong end of, and
Speaker 1: I speak for so many that were I was on
Speaker 1: the Lions. Lions were up twenty four to six. It
Speaker 1: ends up in a twenty seven and twenty seven tie
Speaker 1: through overtime. Um Mirage sports book manager Scott Shelton, as
Speaker 1: reported by the Las Vegas Review Journal, and a and
Speaker 1: a nice piece written by our friend Todd Dewey in
Speaker 1: that piece saying that the Mirage cost them over half
Speaker 1: million dollars. Swing with that one. Caesar's you guys at
Speaker 1: the South Point, CG and stations also needing Arizona, So
Speaker 1: that worked out for you as well? What do you know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: those were those were probably the two biggest ones. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry you were on the wrong side on both of those, kids.
Speaker 1: I'm m sure you're on the wrong side. You were
Speaker 1: on the losing say, on both of those games. And
Speaker 1: you know, I mean I always saw everybody. Don't ever
Speaker 1: feel sorry for the bookmakers, you know, worry about your
Speaker 1: own wallet. You know what'll we find in the end?
Speaker 1: Trust me? Yeah, no one's shedding a tier. Um. Shall
Speaker 1: we start with next week's and as we go through
Speaker 1: these for those who don't know, we'll go through these
Speaker 1: game by game, and of course we'll harken back to
Speaker 1: each team's game from yesterday in past. In week one,
Speaker 1: as we go through these. So let us start with
Speaker 1: Thursday night next week. Chrissie, Sure sounds good. What's the
Speaker 1: matchup there? Tampa Bay at Carolina. Tampa Bay, Carolina. Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay coming off a loss to the to the UH
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners yesterday and San Francisco wins at
Speaker 1: thirty one to seventeen. San Francisco was a one point dog.
Speaker 1: Wins it outright, thirty one to seventeen. Carolina, Uh, they
Speaker 1: lose to the Rams by three. They lose UH thirty
Speaker 1: seven final score there. That was a one and a
Speaker 1: half point spread in favor of the Rams. Carolina was
Speaker 1: a very in vogue. UH, sharp pick, as they say,
Speaker 1: quote unquote sharp pick. But the Rams get at home
Speaker 1: Tamma Bay Carolina, Jamis Winston. Let's start there with the
Speaker 1: game against the Niners. Thirty six Chris nine four yards,
Speaker 1: one touchdown, and there it is again, three picks. The
Speaker 1: forty Niners had two interceptions all of last year. They
Speaker 1: take two of their three back to the house in
Speaker 1: this one. And then the Carolina side and defeat against
Speaker 1: the Rams. Christian McCaffrey just destroys a box score nineteen
Speaker 1: of one, nineteen carries one twenty eight yards, two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: ten catches for eighty one So he was great in defeat.
Speaker 1: But the one thing is Cam Newton despite his uh
Speaker 1: his postgame news conference garb. He had a costly backward
Speaker 1: pass that resulted in a fumble deep in Carolina territory
Speaker 1: that led to a Rams touchdown. Also had a pick
Speaker 1: with five fifty five left in the game, was held
Speaker 1: to a career low minus two yards rushing. And here's
Speaker 1: what Rams linebacker Corey Littleton had to say. Quote Cam
Speaker 1: is a readable guy. By the way, Littleton, fourteen tackles
Speaker 1: are picking a fumble recovery. Uh. He goes on to say,
Speaker 1: he gave me an opportunity and I read it perfectly.
Speaker 1: Newton also, by the way, didn't complete a passive longer
Speaker 1: than seventeen yards, but said he didn't even think about
Speaker 1: his surgically repaired shoulder during the game. Simply took what
Speaker 1: the defense gave him. So that is that's cause for concern.
Speaker 1: Yet with Jamis on the other side, it's Carolina home game.
Speaker 1: They're coming off a loss. I'll say Carolina minus six
Speaker 1: when you put all that in the wash, Yeah, pretty
Speaker 1: solid six and a half right now, I see one
Speaker 1: six but mostly six and a half, and I can
Speaker 1: see that really it was one of those deals where
Speaker 1: you know, I mean the Panthers didn't look good and
Speaker 1: Cam Newton certainly didn't look good. The man Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: just I thought looked awful. Um and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: you really thought Bruce arians would come in and he
Speaker 1: was the kind of guy that could really hope Jameis Winston.
Speaker 1: But so far it hasn't rubbed off on him out
Speaker 1: with tell you that. You know, Jamie's I think just
Speaker 1: looked bad and the things that have played them throughout
Speaker 1: his career don't seem correct that at this point. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Carolina, you're right, they were very in vogue
Speaker 1: pick yesterday. That was actually a very good game for us,
Speaker 1: and not that the Rams played all that great, but
Speaker 1: Carolina just did a lot of things that helped them
Speaker 1: blow the game. Uh, you know, like you said, Christian
Speaker 1: McCaffrey was very very good. The rest of the team
Speaker 1: not really so much. But I think they did a
Speaker 1: lot of things to hurt themselves in that game. I
Speaker 1: think there's still some hope for Carolina. Tampa Bay. Really,
Speaker 1: I think they're in a they're in a deep pole
Speaker 1: and it's gonna take a lot to dig out of
Speaker 1: what they've created for themselves. And Jami's really has to
Speaker 1: protect the ball much much better. But here at the sophomore,
Speaker 1: we're gonna open at six and a half. Okay, um,
Speaker 1: for those who who have not tuned into the show before,
Speaker 1: trust me, I will embarrass myself with some guesses that
Speaker 1: I made on some of these lines. It will happen,
Speaker 1: and uh within that, hopefully we find some sort of
Speaker 1: value somewhere, because it's not good if I guess too
Speaker 1: close the number. But six was my gus. Six and
Speaker 1: a half is what it is. There. How do we
Speaker 1: do this? How did we do this? We let you
Speaker 1: call out the first one on Sunday and we go
Speaker 1: through the games. You just call up a matchup and
Speaker 1: I'll go from there. Yeah, yeah, that's um, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: know every year we need to refresh our memory. How
Speaker 1: we've done this for the last eight years, you know,
Speaker 1: But yeah, we have to do this. Uh So anyway,
Speaker 1: next up is Indianapolis at Tennessee. Indianapolis at Tennessee. This
Speaker 1: is Sunday morning. Now, I would assume Indianapolis coming off
Speaker 1: a loss in overtime to the Charges, a game that
Speaker 1: they furiously rallied uh late Jacoby Brissette to tie Hilton
Speaker 1: play where Hilton just made an unbelievable t y. Hilton
Speaker 1: rather made an unbelievable play again in the end zone,
Speaker 1: forcing over time two point conversion. Brissette twenty one seven
Speaker 1: for a hundred ninety yards two touchdowns. And by the way, Chris,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if you know this, Jacoby Brissette the
Speaker 1: best interception rate in NFL his three with a minimum
Speaker 1: of five hundred passes. Now I mean, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean beating the likes of much bigger names that you
Speaker 1: would not know. Marlon Mack twenty five carries one hundred
Speaker 1: seventy four yards uh touchdown for him, he had just
Speaker 1: twenty two yards at halftime, gained a hundred nineteen in
Speaker 1: the third quarter alone in t y eight seven two
Speaker 1: touchdowns fifteen straight points to force overtime, tied it as
Speaker 1: I mentioned, with forty eight seconds left on the present
Speaker 1: of t Y play. Adam Vinitari took the blame himself
Speaker 1: on this. So even though the Colts lose this game
Speaker 1: to the Chargers thirty to twenty four and the Chargers
Speaker 1: just cover the five and a half or they push
Speaker 1: on a six, depending on what you got. Ultimately on
Speaker 1: this game, you know, shout out to the number matters.
Speaker 1: Believe me, vinytaria Uh, he's experienced something for the first
Speaker 1: time twenty four year career. He's never done this. Missed
Speaker 1: two field goals, missed an extra point in the same game.
Speaker 1: So Colts on the road against Tennessee. Tennessee after just
Speaker 1: missing the playoffs last season. This was a great in
Speaker 1: game for me against the Browns Tennessee. This just seemed
Speaker 1: like a coaching mismatch yesterday between Rabel and Kitchens. Tennessee
Speaker 1: gets it done at Cleveland forty three to thirteen. They
Speaker 1: went it going away, including a twenty one and nothing
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. They win it outright as five and a
Speaker 1: half point dogs. Um, I think that game said more
Speaker 1: about the Browns that did against the Titans. We'll wait
Speaker 1: to get to the Browns. I would imagine Tennessee here,
Speaker 1: will I'll go, I'll sort of go lazy here Indianapolis
Speaker 1: at Tennessee. I don't think Indianapolis did anything shameful. I
Speaker 1: think they comported themselves. Well. Tennessee certainly did Tennessee minus three.
Speaker 1: Is that too lazy? I don't know if it's lazy,
Speaker 1: but it's right on. I can tell you that it
Speaker 1: would seems. Yeah, I see most primarily three three, with
Speaker 1: a little bit of juice on the dog, on the
Speaker 1: favorite in a couple of spots. But three, you know,
Speaker 1: of course, you know, just to plug the south point again.
Speaker 1: We do everything at eleven and ten on. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: on the major sports off the board, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: open the game three. So imagine guys are gonna probably
Speaker 1: that Tennessee a little bit. I'll expect the big flood.
Speaker 1: But just to some of your comments, I thought Jacobe
Speaker 1: Present looked pretty good and out of vinitary. I know
Speaker 1: he took a lot of the blame for himself and
Speaker 1: the guys had a fantastic career, but you know, when
Speaker 1: you're his age and you missed an extra point and two,
Speaker 1: I thought, very make up field goals. He has to
Speaker 1: take the blame. But he has a lot of championship rings.
Speaker 1: He's that kind of a guy. He would think that
Speaker 1: he would take the blame, and he did. And uh,
Speaker 1: I hope father time has mott caught up with him yet.
Speaker 1: But very well could have. I think Frank Wright has
Speaker 1: take a very close look at making a moved kicker,
Speaker 1: and you know, maybe venitary good because if he played,
Speaker 1: if he kicked anywhere near what he's been capable for
Speaker 1: a long time. Colts walk away with the win in
Speaker 1: that game Tennessee. I think, not that they didn't anything great,
Speaker 1: but you know, I do like Mike Rabel the guys
Speaker 1: that it was a very good player. Not Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame material or anything, but a very good and smart player.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, so far, so good. I would
Speaker 1: say for him as a coach, and I would say
Speaker 1: the same for Frank right for Indianapolis. But I think
Speaker 1: I think it's a really good matchup, very interesting in
Speaker 1: at the at the division game, and uh, I think
Speaker 1: three is a very good place for this to start.
Speaker 1: And I think this is one of the more interesting
Speaker 1: games coming up this week. Do you think this ever
Speaker 1: comes off the three this week? I think it stays
Speaker 1: right there the whole way. Uh. You know, guys are
Speaker 1: so hesitant to come off the three, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: very difficult, you know. I think it might. I think
Speaker 1: you might see a three and a half. I don't
Speaker 1: think I'll see it two and a half. I think
Speaker 1: you might see a three and a half, but I
Speaker 1: think three is gonna be pretty solid. By the way,
Speaker 1: Kiro Santos for Tennessee hit a fifty three yarder in
Speaker 1: that game, including a thirty seven yard so he looked
Speaker 1: good in the place of Ryan suck Up, who was
Speaker 1: played on i R just before the season started. Um,
Speaker 1: I agree with everything you said about Mike Vrabel. Three.
Speaker 1: That's I think where that should be and that's a
Speaker 1: sneaky good game on Sunday morning, Indianapolis, Tennessee. Let's do
Speaker 1: one more here, Chrissy before the break. Okay, Chargers at Detroit.
Speaker 1: Chargers beating the Colts. As we just mentioned again thirty
Speaker 1: to twenty four uh in overtime on the Austin Ekeler
Speaker 1: scoring boy. Melvin Gordon's hold out from hell just gets
Speaker 1: even worse with his performance yesterday. Austin Ekeler for the
Speaker 1: for the Chargers twelve carries, fifty eight yards a touchdown,
Speaker 1: six catches ninety six two more touchdowns a career best
Speaker 1: one hundred fifty four yards from scrimmage um, including, by
Speaker 1: the way, the winner on a seven yard run with
Speaker 1: five oh one remaining an overtime to cap off in
Speaker 1: eight play seventy five yard drive, and according to Elias,
Speaker 1: he's the first undrafted players since Dan Reeves in seven
Speaker 1: to have at least a hundred fifty scrimmage yards to
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns in a rushing touchdown in a game. Um,
Speaker 1: they looked very good. They looked charge r esque. Let's
Speaker 1: put it that way. It's like, here, the charges are
Speaker 1: gonna run through this and oh they may mess this
Speaker 1: up somehow, So charges fans are like, it's pretty standard.
Speaker 1: Charges by the way, Keenan Allen eight for one and
Speaker 1: to touchdown, Philip rivers through for a three thirty three yards,
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in a pick. And then there's the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1: And let's just start here because this is what we
Speaker 1: let off with the Eagles and the Lions. The Lions
Speaker 1: were beating Arizona twenty four to six, and I just
Speaker 1: have to tell you, Chrissy, Matt Patricia is one of
Speaker 1: these guys that also has the sort of and I
Speaker 1: can't be talked off this position. He just has this
Speaker 1: countenance about him on the sideline, which doesn't help his
Speaker 1: cause either. Right, he's got the pencil that seems to
Speaker 1: annoy annoy people in his ear. Poor guy seems like
Speaker 1: he's in bad health right with the crutch. He just
Speaker 1: seems like the pressure is getting to him, and you
Speaker 1: almost I want to say i'd feel for him, but
Speaker 1: I had a bet on the Lions. I don't feel
Speaker 1: for him at all, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: They loose. They tie with the Cardinal seven after being
Speaker 1: up to six. They were three point closing favorites here
Speaker 1: at the South Point, and they had won this football game.
Speaker 1: Among the the litany of egregious moves made, the biggest
Speaker 1: one was they won this football game. They had a
Speaker 1: clinching play that seemed to seal it with the Cardinals
Speaker 1: having no time outs left in regulation, but instead Daryl Bevil,
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, signaled to Patricia to call the time out
Speaker 1: because the head coach has to call the time out
Speaker 1: in the in the closing two minutes of a game.
Speaker 1: They grant the time out after the play had actually
Speaker 1: you know, the whistles. No one heard the whistles. It
Speaker 1: would have been over and instead what results a punt,
Speaker 1: a block punt, and that led to the Cardinals cavalcade.
Speaker 1: Lions are lucky, not to have lost that game. They
Speaker 1: really are. So when you put that all in the wash,
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers are road favorites. I'll say a
Speaker 1: field goal as a placeholder here. Um, it could be more.
Speaker 1: It's three great all of the dream. That's what we're
Speaker 1: gonna open it here at self point. You know, it
Speaker 1: was just like when you talked about the Chargers. It
Speaker 1: was a very Chargers game. That was very true. It
Speaker 1: was a very lion esque game as well. You know,
Speaker 1: there was both teams, uh, you know, just played If
Speaker 1: you just look at the play, the Chargers played about
Speaker 1: the way we thought they would, which is, you know,
Speaker 1: pretty good for the most part, but still managed to
Speaker 1: damage themselves in the end. Of course, they walked away
Speaker 1: with a win. And you might have got a push
Speaker 1: depending on whever you played with the Colts over the Chargers,
Speaker 1: but probably most Charger betters. Loss Detroit was really kind
Speaker 1: of the same thing. I mean, if you look at
Speaker 1: the play for for most of that game, they had
Speaker 1: the game seemingly well in hand and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: in the end did all they could to blow it
Speaker 1: and you're lucky, and you're right, they got lucky not
Speaker 1: to lose the game out right, but did manage to
Speaker 1: have the wind snatched away from by their own doing?
Speaker 1: And uh boy, I'll tell you what. I know. You
Speaker 1: have a good friend who was h goes by Johnny
Speaker 1: Detroit and I'm sure he's uh, he's uh cursing himself
Speaker 1: and the team this morning. So you know, it's just
Speaker 1: just has been very typical of Detroit pretty much our
Speaker 1: whole lifetimes. But three is what we're gonna open it
Speaker 1: here at South Point. I think it's tough to open anything,
Speaker 1: but that Charges, you gotta remember, don't have a big
Speaker 1: home field advantage and play in front of like what
Speaker 1: twenty three thousand fans something like that, so when they
Speaker 1: go on the road, it's not a big detriment. Nalzy
Speaker 1: Detroit being one of those real hard places to go
Speaker 1: in and place. I don't see much of a home
Speaker 1: field advantage here, but I think Chargers Free probably a
Speaker 1: good place the start. But I have a you know,
Speaker 1: right now, there's a little bit of money showing for
Speaker 1: Detroit a little bit, but I think I think the
Speaker 1: Chargers will probably get the dough this week. I think
Speaker 1: I think this this won't go over, won't go to
Speaker 1: three and a half, But I think it comes Sunday
Speaker 1: and we'll probably be needing Detroit. God, it's hard to like.
Speaker 1: It's hard to like the Lions after that, even though
Speaker 1: you know you look at box scores there so you
Speaker 1: know it's like, oh yeah, Matthew Stafford fills it up right,
Speaker 1: three eighty five yards, three touchdowns. Note pas, but you
Speaker 1: said it very Lions, asked Danny Amondola with the with
Speaker 1: the brain fart and overtime not getting out of bounds
Speaker 1: if they were to have any hope of winning the game,
Speaker 1: And let me just let me just finish the Lions
Speaker 1: thing with the shout out to Jim Caldwell. May I
Speaker 1: do that? Jim Caldwell got fired, do you remember this
Speaker 1: after going eleven and five, seven and nine, nine and
Speaker 1: seven and nine and seven in four years in Detroit,
Speaker 1: and that wasn't good enough for them. They replaced him
Speaker 1: with Matt Patricia, who's now six ten and one. So
Speaker 1: I just want to shout out Jack, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean that that's probably and I don't know this for
Speaker 1: a fact, I mean we probably find it out pretty quick.
Speaker 1: That's got to be the best lifetime win percentage of
Speaker 1: any Detroit coach in history. Certainly in our life to them, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: in our lifetime. I mean, I don't quite go back
Speaker 1: to the note plumb days for Detroit seems like it sometimes,
Speaker 1: but I don't. But yeah, that has to be the
Speaker 1: best Detroit lifetime coaching record of all times. But you're
Speaker 1: right there, you know. I mean these guys always the
Speaker 1: grass is always greenery. They think they're entitled to a
Speaker 1: you know, a playoff run or you know, you challenging
Speaker 1: for super Bowl ever year. I mean, this is the
Speaker 1: owner's mentality. And uh, you know, how about you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not the biggest call well fan, but you know
Speaker 1: he's a good coach. He's not a great coach, but
Speaker 1: he is a good coach. And uh why they fired
Speaker 1: him for next guy up? And next guy up? I'm
Speaker 1: not sure has done such a great job. Where will
Speaker 1: do it's such a great job. Next guy up is
Speaker 1: probably talking about Matt Patricia here, probably the leader in
Speaker 1: the clubhouse after week one. R it's just one week.
Speaker 1: Things could change very quickly. But after one week the
Speaker 1: old prop of who's the first to be fired, he's
Speaker 1: got to be the leader in the club house after
Speaker 1: week one? Yeah, okay, yeah, just because the expectations in
Speaker 1: Miami were nothing. So I think Patricia is the h
Speaker 1: is the guy we shall see. I will come back,
Speaker 1: We'll do more. It's guessing lines for week two in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. That is Chrissie Andrews, the director
Speaker 1: of the South Point Hotel Casino sports Book, is like
Speaker 1: riding a bike. We'll come back, We'll do more. Right
Speaker 1: here on a numbers game at Vista. Back to guessing
Speaker 1: lines week two in the National Football League? Is I
Speaker 1: licked my wounds from Week one? Had the Lions, had
Speaker 1: the had the Eagles? Good lord backdoor on that one.
Speaker 1: By the way, j B. John Brown here um has
Speaker 1: come up with UH dutifully and quickly the Lions coaching history,
Speaker 1: Chrissy and in fact, Jim Caldwell in our lifetime does
Speaker 1: have the greatest percentage thirty six eight five sixty three
Speaker 1: winning percentage. That's who they replaced UH with, Matt Patricia,
Speaker 1: who's now six ten one with one with one exception,
Speaker 1: if I'm to be completely accurate. JB pointed this out
Speaker 1: when Bobby Ross was let go in two thousand, there
Speaker 1: was an interim coach, Gary Mueller, who I don't even remember,
Speaker 1: who went four and then yeah, he went four and
Speaker 1: three and seven games, and that led to the Marty
Speaker 1: Morning WEG five and twenty seven Lions era. Uh so,
Speaker 1: so technically Gary Mueller had a better winn persession because
Speaker 1: he went four and three, which is five seventy one.
Speaker 1: But called Well over over sixty four games had a
Speaker 1: five sixty three. You'd have to go all the way
Speaker 1: back to Buddy Parker from nineteenfty one to nineteen fifty
Speaker 1: six to have a better winning percentage over a meaningful
Speaker 1: amount of games than Jim Calledwell's tenure with the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1: I was born in fifty six, so I don't quite
Speaker 1: remember the era, so but yeah, I knew it was
Speaker 1: a long long time. And Wayne Fawn so you know,
Speaker 1: he had a long run. Uh boy, I can't remember
Speaker 1: some of the other Detroit coaches, but they really I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not been a good franchise. I hate to tell people, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's not been a good franchise for a long
Speaker 1: long time. Wayne Fons sixties six and sixties seven a
Speaker 1: game below five hundred. But in the longest tenure of
Speaker 1: all of our lifetime Lyons coach tenures, he did make
Speaker 1: five playoff appearances, which is the most he did coach
Speaker 1: the longest two though they were one in four in
Speaker 1: the postseason under Wayne Fons and two under Caldwell. By
Speaker 1: the way, in the postseason, that's the voice of Christie Andrews.
Speaker 1: By the way, everybody South Point Sports Book director at
Speaker 1: Andrew's Sports on Twitter, you should know Chrissie's tweeting as always.
Speaker 1: Chrissy's in Los Angeles today. Let's go to the next one, sir. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got the Buffalo Bills at the Giants. Oh wow, Buffalo,
Speaker 1: very very very nice come from behind when against the
Speaker 1: Jets yesterday seventeen to sixteen, when they were down sixteen
Speaker 1: to nothing. And by the way, J B. John Brown
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills, big day for him, seven catches,
Speaker 1: a hundred twenty three yards touchdown. You're names say, by
Speaker 1: the way, do you have any problem with the with
Speaker 1: the guessing of the lines in the first segment? Are
Speaker 1: you good with all those so far? No? Um, like
Speaker 1: my own personal numbers would have just been a little
Speaker 1: bit a little bit different, just based on the divisional matchups.
Speaker 1: But really close, really close for you know, nothing so
Speaker 1: far yet. Yeah, I might have given you know that
Speaker 1: I might have given Tennessee and the hook or something
Speaker 1: like that. But other than that, we're right on. As
Speaker 1: far as Buffalo and the Giants, Buffalo yesterday again coming
Speaker 1: from behind, they were they were down sixteen and nothing, Chrissie,
Speaker 1: largely because Josh Allen was doing Josh Allen things. He
Speaker 1: had four turnovers in a six drive span in the
Speaker 1: first half, two two picks, two fumbles. But the Bill's
Speaker 1: defense limited the Jets the two twenty three total yards
Speaker 1: in this game. So even when they were when they
Speaker 1: were committing all those turnovers, they were only down six
Speaker 1: to nothing on their way to being down sixteen to nothing,
Speaker 1: but they kept it reasonable. Uh. And then Allen threw
Speaker 1: a thirty eight yard touchdown past the John Brown three
Speaker 1: minutes left. That was the game winner. Uh. Minus three
Speaker 1: in turnovers and they win. That is pretty amazing. Uh.
Speaker 1: They had more turnovers than points while scuffling through much
Speaker 1: of the first three quarters. And basically the real key
Speaker 1: to this game was when Jets middle linebacker C. J. Mosley,
Speaker 1: who had two takeaways, including a pick for a touchdown,
Speaker 1: he left with a groin injury late in the third quarter.
Speaker 1: He was making his Jets debut after five years with Baltimore,
Speaker 1: had a tip pass from Alan took its seventeen yards
Speaker 1: into the end zone for a touchdown less than five
Speaker 1: minutes into the game. But when he went out, everything changed,
Speaker 1: and the Bill said as much afterwards that the whole
Speaker 1: tenures seemed to change and the Jets will get to them.
Speaker 1: But Buffalo gets the win, so they want to know.
Speaker 1: And then there's the Giants. They took a seven nothing
Speaker 1: lead over the Cowboys and then it was over. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, you look again. We look at box scores
Speaker 1: and how deceiving they are. Chrissy Eli Manning thirty of
Speaker 1: forty four three oh six, big deal, say Kwan's everything.
Speaker 1: Eleven catches I mean, excuse me, eleven rushes a hundred
Speaker 1: twenty yards. Uh ingram was grade eleven catches a hundred
Speaker 1: sixteen in touchdown but none of it meant anything because
Speaker 1: they gave up touchdown drives to the Cowboys in a
Speaker 1: thirty five to seventeen loss, which, by the way, final
Speaker 1: score wasn't nearly as big of a defeat as that
Speaker 1: seems to indicate. They gave up touchdown drives of seventy
Speaker 1: five ninety three, eighty three, seventy five and eighty nine
Speaker 1: yards on five consecutive possessions from the first through the
Speaker 1: third quarters. That is all you need to know about
Speaker 1: the Giants. So I don't really know because this game
Speaker 1: is in New York. You said, so, yes, I mean
Speaker 1: it's kind of coin flippy to me. So I'll say
Speaker 1: a pick. Uh, you're a little light on the Buffalo side.
Speaker 1: I'd see mostly two and a half, a little bit
Speaker 1: of two. I'm gonna go two and a half here
Speaker 1: at the south point. I gotta tell you that the
Speaker 1: Giants side, I mean, you know, big big story through
Speaker 1: the through the off season, the preseason was Eli Manning
Speaker 1: versus Daniel Jones. Uh, you know, I mean that's gonna
Speaker 1: mean something for sure. But that Giants defense was just
Speaker 1: so god awful ridiculous and like you said, you know,
Speaker 1: some times the box score in the final score doesn't
Speaker 1: exactly tell you the story. But boy, every time Dallas
Speaker 1: got the ball, you just felt that they were going
Speaker 1: to score, put together some sort of a long drive.
Speaker 1: It just seemed like and pretty much was true. They
Speaker 1: just couldn't stop anybody. I think Sae kwon Barkley again.
Speaker 1: His numbers were very good, but I think the guy
Speaker 1: is a really really good player. The rest of the
Speaker 1: offense has certainly its question marks, but boy, that defense
Speaker 1: is really gonna throttle him. Uh. You know, Buffalo another
Speaker 1: team that really you know, you know, Josh Allen. I
Speaker 1: mean there's times when he looks good and times when
Speaker 1: he just doesn't. And you know, yesterday was one of
Speaker 1: those games or he looked both. But I think that
Speaker 1: you know, we'll get to the Jets a little bit later,
Speaker 1: of course, but that C. J. Moseley injury was was
Speaker 1: a big, big part of the game. The guy was
Speaker 1: like all over the field, he was he just did
Speaker 1: a tremendous job and you know, like you said, had
Speaker 1: an interception return for a touchdown. That's obviously a big,
Speaker 1: uh you know, big happenstance in a game like that,
Speaker 1: but he was more than that. He really was the
Speaker 1: key to that defense. And when he went out that
Speaker 1: really the team really fell apart. I think there's some
Speaker 1: hope for Buffalo. I think there's some talent on that team,
Speaker 1: particularly on defense. Uh So, I like the two and
Speaker 1: a half here more than the two although I see
Speaker 1: both numbers. I liked the two and a half a
Speaker 1: little bit better. I just think the Giants, this Giant
Speaker 1: team is in big, big trouble and uh and Buffalo,
Speaker 1: I see array of hope. So I'm gonna use two
Speaker 1: and a half in this game. Yeah, that that sounds better.
Speaker 1: Like my pick was probably at the last second there.
Speaker 1: I tried to give some juice back to the Giants.
Speaker 1: But you're probably right. That's that's where it ought to be.
Speaker 1: By the way, or as the New York Post put
Speaker 1: their headline, Jets defense becomes clueless without C. J. Mosley,
Speaker 1: that was there, that was there. That's so two and
Speaker 1: a half in favor of the Bills. And uh, I
Speaker 1: just don't understand. I've said this even before the season started.
Speaker 1: I don't understand why the Giants just don't start Daniel Jones,
Speaker 1: I don't get it. What does this do for them?
Speaker 1: What does it do playing Elin? I don't get it. Well, uh,
Speaker 1: you know it's probably coming from the owner. It's really
Speaker 1: what it is. Uh. You know, they don't want to
Speaker 1: embarrass Eli. And they they put a lot of eggs
Speaker 1: in that basket over the years. And I mean the
Speaker 1: guy got them too super Bowl wins. But I think
Speaker 1: he's one of those quarterbacks. Um is he he might
Speaker 1: make the Hall of Fame, you know. Uh and maybe
Speaker 1: in some ways you deserve it because it's you know,
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame I think is as a museum
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, not just honoring individual players.
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean there's two Super Bowl wins
Speaker 1: were awfully significant and they played for New York and
Speaker 1: I think that that certainly doesn't happen, doesn't hurt when
Speaker 1: you're looking at reputations, and that's where I think. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know the guy, I mean, and we've both been
Speaker 1: watching football for a long time da times, but it's
Speaker 1: just awful. I mean throughout his whole career, there's times
Speaker 1: where you've just been you know, not a very good
Speaker 1: quarter attack. But uh yeah, I mean, like I said,
Speaker 1: I think the franchise feels very much like they owe him,
Speaker 1: you know, a graceful egg that we're all exsitting at
Speaker 1: some point done. And uh, you know, I think they
Speaker 1: think that. But you know, drafting Daniel Johnson, it seems
Speaker 1: like they were on the right track with how good
Speaker 1: he potentially could be. But I think they know it,
Speaker 1: but they kind of don't want to admit it. To
Speaker 1: themselves that that's one man depanon. If this is about
Speaker 1: like not hurting Eli's feelings, aren't we like three or
Speaker 1: four years past that? God? Yeah, at least one, I
Speaker 1: guess that. I mean, yeah, probably more than that. That's
Speaker 1: my I mean, guy, I think he is thirty eight
Speaker 1: years old. I mean, you know, I'm sure Eli, when, if,
Speaker 1: and when the time comes, gonna be very comfortable looking
Speaker 1: back on his career and saying, yeah, I had a
Speaker 1: pretty good run here. You know, two super Bowl championships,
Speaker 1: played my whole career in New York. Yeah, it has
Speaker 1: nothing to be ashamed of, certainly, But I think it's
Speaker 1: probably time. But that's what I think, Like I said,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know, you lie, I don't know that.
Speaker 1: And and emeras you know, but I think that's probably
Speaker 1: the thinking that they want to give him a more
Speaker 1: great way. All right, let's move on to the next
Speaker 1: Arizona at Baltimore Arizona, which we have spoken about. Arizona
Speaker 1: looked as bad as a football team could look for
Speaker 1: three quarters of that game, like to the point where
Speaker 1: you were thinking yourself, this is a better's dream. I
Speaker 1: am going to keep in gaming the Detroit Lions because
Speaker 1: they have no idea how to get just from under
Speaker 1: their complete chaos and confusion. And then the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: started again, down to six um. They tie it in
Speaker 1: regulation twenty four. Kyler Murray ends up twenty nine fifty
Speaker 1: four for three oh a, two touchdowns at a pick.
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, by the way, still just fill up a statuet.
Speaker 1: Eight catches, a hundred thirteen yards and a touchdown. But
Speaker 1: they're going to Baltimore, all right, So they get the
Speaker 1: tie with detroited overtime. They're going to Baltimore. Baltimore beat
Speaker 1: the Dolphins yesterday. I think it was a thousand to
Speaker 1: uh to three or something like that. Yeah, fifty nine
Speaker 1: to ten. They beat him as seven point favorites on
Speaker 1: the road in a game that was over before you
Speaker 1: could even take three blakes of the eye. Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: with a perfect By the way, Dak had a perfect
Speaker 1: quarterback rating yesterday to Lamar Jackson seventeen of twenty four yards,
Speaker 1: five touchdowns, no picks, one fifty eight point three perfection.
Speaker 1: The five touchdowns ties of Ravens record. The Ravens also
Speaker 1: set franchise records are points in the first half an
Speaker 1: NFL record for points in the first half of an opener,
Speaker 1: taking a forty two to ten lead at the break,
Speaker 1: and they broke franchise marks for points and total yards
Speaker 1: with six hundred and forty three. Oh my god, they
Speaker 1: gained forty nine yards on the first plate. Chrissie for
Speaker 1: God's six. His first nine passes, Lamar Jackson, all completions
Speaker 1: went for two hundred and four yards four touchdowns. That's
Speaker 1: the first nine passes, including forty seven and eighty three
Speaker 1: yards to a first round draft pick, Marquise Hollywood Brown
Speaker 1: in the first eleven minutes. By the way, Marquis Brown
Speaker 1: available in my fantasy league. Not bad for a running back,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson said of himself, poking uh fun at everybody
Speaker 1: who criticizes him. Um. By the way, r G three
Speaker 1: even got it on the action six of six with
Speaker 1: a touchdown. R G three baby. So anyway, you put
Speaker 1: all that in the old proverbial wash, as I have
Speaker 1: said before. Now and you even though Arizona got the tie,
Speaker 1: and you know it's a field good thing with Arizona,
Speaker 1: I suppose after you see that fourth quarter, but it
Speaker 1: is against Detroit, and then you look at what Baltimore did,
Speaker 1: and you have to say, but it is against Miami,
Speaker 1: who might be historically bad, Crissy might be historically bad.
Speaker 1: What do you say, I mean, it's got to be
Speaker 1: double digits. Is ten and a half too low and
Speaker 1: half too low? The lowest I see is twelve and
Speaker 1: a half is only one of those. But I see
Speaker 1: from twelve and a half the thirteen and a half.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go right in the middle, you know, I
Speaker 1: really I had to. I kind of like Arizona in
Speaker 1: this game. You know, it's just one of those where
Speaker 1: everything just came so easy to Baltimore, and that was
Speaker 1: one of our worst games of the day. You know,
Speaker 1: we needed the dog bad in that game, which I
Speaker 1: probably should get used to because we're gonna need Miami
Speaker 1: and awful lot this year. But it was that was over.
Speaker 1: Like you said right away. I mean we knew thirty
Speaker 1: seconds into the game we had virtually no chance of
Speaker 1: covering it all. Um. I think Arizona. You know, I
Speaker 1: still have huge questions about Kyler Murray. Maybe not on
Speaker 1: a play by play basis. I think the kid has
Speaker 1: a ton of talent, but bore, you just see how
Speaker 1: little he is compared to everybody else, And how's he
Speaker 1: going to hold up? You know, I just don't know.
Speaker 1: And I know some guys are comparing him to Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is a strong man. You look at him,
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's got some nick bustle kind of
Speaker 1: Murray does not. So how's it gonna hold up over
Speaker 1: the course of the season or the course of a career.
Speaker 1: I think probably not so good. But just when you
Speaker 1: see teams have it this easy, now they're coming home
Speaker 1: playing a team that they're far superior, then you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of mean towards the dog here. I kind
Speaker 1: of like the dog with the points. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take I'm gonna open a thirteen. Like I said that.
Speaker 1: The twelve map I see is I think way too low,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna open thirteen. I see a lot of
Speaker 1: thirteen in app I think they'll probably bet in Baltimore,
Speaker 1: but I think that's okay. I don't mind going into
Speaker 1: this game needing Arizon. I think they cover. I don't
Speaker 1: think they could win the game, but I think they cover.
Speaker 1: And you know, I've said so many great things over
Speaker 1: the years about John Harvey. I think he's the second
Speaker 1: best coach in the NFL, and I think Yester his
Speaker 1: game proves that a lot, and he had some faith
Speaker 1: in Jackson. They let uh Flacco go and put kind
Speaker 1: of a bunch of eggs in that one basket, and uh,
Speaker 1: I say, look so far, it looks like the right movie.
Speaker 1: The kids look be good, and uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: think Baltimore is gonna have a really good season, that
Speaker 1: they get a really good team. But I like the
Speaker 1: dog to cover in this game. And I don't think
Speaker 1: Arizona is gonna have such a great year because I
Speaker 1: don't think. Yeah, I think what we saw in the
Speaker 1: first three quarters is probably the real Arizona. But you know,
Speaker 1: it was a very good game for the South Point
Speaker 1: last night when they came back in time, and it's
Speaker 1: really good as as we discussed earlier. Yes, I know
Speaker 1: it was as uh my Detroit bets went and went
Speaker 1: to hell. By the way, I also love how John hardball.
Speaker 1: He's like faking punts way up in the game. He
Speaker 1: has no mercy for Miami none the last three games
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins, which they don't play every year, obviously,
Speaker 1: But I think that one hundred thirty seven to sixteen.
Speaker 1: Since twenty sixteen, they've actually played him three times, one
Speaker 1: thirty seven to sixteen. They just destroy them. Um. But
Speaker 1: but I you know, I said before the year, because
Speaker 1: if there was every consensus opinion on a team season
Speaker 1: win total in the NFL, it was that everybody was
Speaker 1: barish on Baltimore. And I said many times on this
Speaker 1: show that's what worries me, that everybody thinks they're going
Speaker 1: under watch, you know. And again it's Miami, so let's
Speaker 1: not get crazy. But as a first salvo, they looked
Speaker 1: pretty damn good. Oh yeah, come on, what was that.
Speaker 1: I know one guy who has met John Harbaugh, and yeah,
Speaker 1: he's kind of a jerk. Yeah, well, I would certainly
Speaker 1: believe that. But hey, you know, he's not running the
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's not a monastery running. He's
Speaker 1: trying to win football games. And you guys are pretty
Speaker 1: darn good. Coach. Well, Christy, his brother seems like just
Speaker 1: a cuddly guy himself. So yeah, we'll come back. We'll
Speaker 1: do more. Week two guessing lines with Chris Andrews right
Speaker 1: here on a numbers game at Visa, just looking at
Speaker 1: this reverse teaser card, or as Christie affectionally calls it
Speaker 1: please er cards, which I believe. Chrissie, are you Are
Speaker 1: you not the pioneer of such a thing, by the way,
Speaker 1: I am the pioneer of the please your car. And
Speaker 1: there was a friend of mine, and I think I
Speaker 1: talked to you about me and personally, really really smart
Speaker 1: guy who actually invented the pleaser. Uh, and that was
Speaker 1: his name that he came up with, you know, so
Speaker 1: I but he had like individual games and I put
Speaker 1: together the card. But I didn't invent the police or
Speaker 1: this friend of mine did. And but I I me
Speaker 1: along with his help. He helped me actually designed the
Speaker 1: card with the prices, and then Roxy of course helped
Speaker 1: me too. But I came up with a card. But
Speaker 1: this friend of mine will go on name mostly because
Speaker 1: he's a real private guy. But he came up with
Speaker 1: a pleaser, and you know, it's been it's been a
Speaker 1: good money maker for whatever casinos I've been in over
Speaker 1: the years. I just want to point out though, that
Speaker 1: nine of these thus far two games tonight obviously in
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football Saints Texans, Raiders Broncos tonight, but nine
Speaker 1: of these teams were winning legs. Let's put it that way, Packers.
Speaker 1: Mine is three to have Vikings, Ravens, Niners, Chiefs, Titans, Bengals,
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Patriots all would have been winning reverse teaser
Speaker 1: plays from yesterday and from Thursday night. Let's do a
Speaker 1: couple more here, real quick here, Crissy, before the hour
Speaker 1: it ends, by the way, before we move on. When
Speaker 1: I was with calt Neva, we copyrighted the name the
Speaker 1: Pleaser with a big kids, if you're listening, I should
Speaker 1: have copyrighted it myself, but I was an owner of
Speaker 1: count Me even you know, the company should do it,
Speaker 1: you know, rather the beginning involved personally, love that you
Speaker 1: put chalk that up as one of the many mistakes
Speaker 1: I've made over my career, but that was definitely one
Speaker 1: of them. By the way, christ you know who's on
Speaker 1: the show this week. Scottie Shetler's on is coming in studio. Okay,
Speaker 1: Scott in a long time, but I know he was
Speaker 1: the first sports book manager to cont me, but they
Speaker 1: left on very good term. He left on very good terms.
Speaker 1: And yeah, he helped me the first few days of
Speaker 1: my tenure up there, and you know, yeah, so Scott,
Speaker 1: good guy. We talked a few times over the years,
Speaker 1: so I kind of lost touch with each other recently,
Speaker 1: but good guy Ellens hooked it up. So shout to
Speaker 1: all in Boston. All right, let's do a game here.
Speaker 1: What do you got next up? Patriots at the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: So I knew this game was coming. So this, this
Speaker 1: to me, is so awesome because you expect something like
Speaker 1: this to happen later in a season where there's gonna
Speaker 1: be some wacky line. But it's New England after just
Speaker 1: absolutely drubbing your Steelers last night, Christie, I'm sorry, thirty
Speaker 1: three to three. They destroy them. Um. By the way,
Speaker 1: no one has back to back NFL titles since the
Speaker 1: Patriots did it in two thousand three, two thousand four.
Speaker 1: That last night was hey, we might do it, and
Speaker 1: we're getting Antonio Brown, uh, Tom Brady three yards, three
Speaker 1: touchdowns note picks. They opened a twenty to nothing lead
Speaker 1: before Pittsburgh. Then this is your this is your guy,
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, Chrissy, they decide with I just don't understand.
Speaker 1: With ten seventeen left in the third quarter, down twenty
Speaker 1: to nothing, get the ball at the New England won
Speaker 1: fourth and goal. Mike Tomlin says, let's kick a field goal.
Speaker 1: Twenty to three. Four plays from scrimmage. Later, Brady the
Speaker 1: door set fifty eight yards three and I think everybody
Speaker 1: in America just said, that's it. I'm going to bed,
Speaker 1: or I'm going to dinner, whatever it was. Um, Miami,
Speaker 1: we already talked about it. In just terrible defeat fifty
Speaker 1: nine to ten to the Ravens, Josh Rosen got in
Speaker 1: in relief of Ryan Fitzpatrick. He was one of three
Speaker 1: for five yards and a pick. I just wanted to
Speaker 1: contrast that with everything about the Patriots. Two point eight
Speaker 1: was his quarterback rating. But they were outgained, as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: six hundred forty three yards to two hundred by the
Speaker 1: Ravens to sixty to twenty one on the ground and
Speaker 1: had the ball less than twenty minutes nineteen minutes and
Speaker 1: fifty three seconds. So this is in Miami. If this were,
Speaker 1: honestly I wanted if this was a New England, I'd
Speaker 1: probably say it's twenty one and a half and I'm
Speaker 1: not even kidding, which would be just off the charts,
Speaker 1: unprecedented just because it's in Miami, not because there's any
Speaker 1: home field advantage, by the way, but just because I'm
Speaker 1: guessing what the line ought to be. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: seven in teen and a half, and that's too little. Well,
Speaker 1: there's a couple of seventeens with pretty heavy juice on
Speaker 1: the dog. I see mostly sixteen and a half. A
Speaker 1: couple of sixteens flow around there. I think the wise
Speaker 1: guys will be on Miami and it's one of those
Speaker 1: you know, I was thinking about this and I don't know,
Speaker 1: you know, the producer will probably come up with the
Speaker 1: number here pretty quick. But the Pats haven't had a
Speaker 1: great record in Miami. I'm not big on these trends
Speaker 1: when they started with all this crap because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of data mining. And I remember we have one
Speaker 1: guy who used to put out a lot of trends,
Speaker 1: and you and I used to laugh at the end
Speaker 1: of uh, at the end of his rants on some
Speaker 1: of these trends that they kind of look at these numbers.
Speaker 1: I want to bend on and against both teams. You
Speaker 1: don't don't know which way to go. You've got so
Speaker 1: much data mining here. But uh, but I know New
Speaker 1: England is a lot had a lot of success in Miami.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that has to be situational
Speaker 1: where you know, Miami has not been that great over
Speaker 1: the last couple of decades really where New England has been.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of times when they do
Speaker 1: go into New England and go into Miami. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: in a very similar situation where we're looking at now
Speaker 1: that big win for New England on you know, last
Speaker 1: night's game against a team that I think a lot
Speaker 1: of people thought we're gonna be, you know, a rival
Speaker 1: for the a f C crown and the Dolphins look horrible. However,
Speaker 1: let's go back a little bit. The Dolphins are historically horrible,
Speaker 1: I think at this point, probably purposely so. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people have talked about it,
Speaker 1: and it looks like it's coming to fruition that they're
Speaker 1: they're tanking, uh as badly as a team possibly could.
Speaker 1: The players out on the old aren't, the coaches aren't,
Speaker 1: but you know, upper management is geared this team to lose.
Speaker 1: And uh, I know, I hear Mike Greenberg talk about
Speaker 1: it a lot in the morning. He says, you know,
Speaker 1: the bad part about tanking is it actually works, and
Speaker 1: you know, we could look back. I know you're a
Speaker 1: big baseball guy. The Houston Astros seven eight years ago.
Speaker 1: I think did a lot of tanking or what happened. Well,
Speaker 1: they wind up being one of the best franchises in
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball for a couple of years now. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, that's one example, and I think we could
Speaker 1: looked through some of the other sports as well. So
Speaker 1: this is a historically bad team against Uh. I don't
Speaker 1: I don't want to call New England historically great team,
Speaker 1: but they, you know, certainly people last two decades, they've
Speaker 1: been about as historically good as you could be. I
Speaker 1: still have trouble on a seventeen and uh, I think
Speaker 1: I'll probably see you at the window at some point.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open at sixteen and a half because I
Speaker 1: just I think the wise guys will take seventeen on
Speaker 1: this game. I'm not sure they have the right side,
Speaker 1: but I think they will will take it. I'm sure
Speaker 1: they will. I'm sure they will. Chrissy just got a
Speaker 1: muscle memory. But to me, it's almost too cool for
Speaker 1: school pick Like it's just I just think, and I know,
Speaker 1: like you're not gonna go rich doing this in the NFL,
Speaker 1: but it just seems to me like they have no players,
Speaker 1: you know, that's the problem here. So purpose yeah, purposely
Speaker 1: will come back. We'll do more guessing lines week two
Speaker 1: right here in a numbers game at Visa. Support for
Speaker 1: today's show, as always, comes from Bookmaker dot eu. Bookmaker
Speaker 1: dot eu an industry leader for close to thirty years.
Speaker 1: As you know, pro players consider them must because their

Speaker 1: was yesterday. Oh no bitterness whatsoever. Let's get Chrissie Andrews
Speaker 1: back in here, the director of the South Point Hotel
Speaker 1: Casino sports book, Chris, we got a whole bunch more
Speaker 1: games to get to. I think we've got ten more.
Speaker 1: Let's get right into them. What do you got well?
Speaker 1: Some we can't do well. We're gonna go over very briefly,
Speaker 1: just because that's two games. And I, by the way,
Speaker 1: just a lot of well wishers towards me on Twitter.
Speaker 1: I tried to answer everybody while you were discussing baseball.
Speaker 1: Thanks to everybody. I know there's uh, you know, some
Speaker 1: some people don't care, nor should they about my health.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm trying to do my best, but a
Speaker 1: lot of people do. And thank you for caring. And
Speaker 1: you're not doing okay, So trying to answer all the
Speaker 1: people on Twitter. I know there's probably a lot more
Speaker 1: out there. But thanks to everybody, and let's go on
Speaker 1: with the show. You are beloved, my friend. You are
Speaker 1: beloved as you should be. Well, yeah, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: I appreciate all right, what is next, sir? Well, you're
Speaker 1: gonna love this one. Cowboys at the Redskin Cowboys, Longley's
Speaker 1: coming back. Don't say that, Flint long Thanksgiving Day nine,
Speaker 1: I believe it was. But who's But who's scoring? By
Speaker 1: the way, it's just can I just say something. RFK
Speaker 1: Stadium in Washington, d C. Is finally being torn down
Speaker 1: in two years, I believe. If I'm not mistaken, I
Speaker 1: cannot express to you this will mean nothing to anybody
Speaker 1: who's not a Red Skin van. But for those who
Speaker 1: have who to take, uh, just a joy and an
Speaker 1: undefined love for the stadiums of their boyhood teams where
Speaker 1: there was wild success. I cannot tell you what an
Speaker 1: impression this made on me when it came across the
Speaker 1: crawl on ESPN the other day that they were demolishing
Speaker 1: RFK Stadium, the Theater of Thrills where the Redskins won
Speaker 1: three Super Bowls with Joe Gibbs um. The end of
Speaker 1: the end of an era. And I can't tell you
Speaker 1: how many great memories of building provided with a whole
Speaker 1: generation of those of us who grew up in the Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. Area. So shout out to d C and
Speaker 1: RFK Stadium. The time has finally come. I guess where
Speaker 1: they're gonna tear it down. So many times they they
Speaker 1: thought about, you know, building on top of it for
Speaker 1: a new Redskin stadium, But I guess now with the
Speaker 1: d C United no longer, they're no use for it.
Speaker 1: So the rivalry that defined it more than any was
Speaker 1: this one right here Dallas at Washington, UH and Washington
Speaker 1: as we as we said, Washington was up seventeen to
Speaker 1: nothing on the Eagles yesterday, seventeen to nothing. And again
Speaker 1: I said to Todd Wishnevan, Mike Palm, they could vouch.
Speaker 1: I said, watch the Eagles will cover this, and probably
Speaker 1: should have if it weren't for a last Redskin drive
Speaker 1: where the Redskins converted not only a fourth and six,
Speaker 1: but a fourth and twelve as well. Good Lord uh
Speaker 1: case Keenum to Trey Quinn six yard score. The Redskins
Speaker 1: end up covering, but get beat by the Eagles ultimately
Speaker 1: UH by the final score of thirty two to twenty seven.
Speaker 1: The Redskins cover the ten point closing spread on that UM.
Speaker 1: It didn't make any sense to me the first time.
Speaker 1: It's like the Eagles didn't know the season had begun.
Speaker 1: They couldn't get to key to case Keenum. There was
Speaker 1: no pressure on Keenom, and the Redskins don't have Trent Williams,
Speaker 1: and it's like they couldn't even get close to case
Speaker 1: Quenum and keen him through for three hundred and eighty yards,
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, no picks, UH to light up the UH
Speaker 1: the stab machine there. Terry McLaurin rookie great day for
Speaker 1: rookie whiteouts throughout the NFL by the way out of
Speaker 1: Ohio State five catches twenty five yards in touchdown, but
Speaker 1: the Redskins are undisciplined twelve penalties ninety six yards, and
Speaker 1: the Eagles did what the Eagles do. And by the way,
Speaker 1: when that first touchdown pass, the uh DeShawn Jackson happened,
Speaker 1: you kind of knew as a Redskin fan, you knew
Speaker 1: how this ended. DeShawn Jackson, who, by the way, Eagles fans,
Speaker 1: he should always be an Eagle because he just does
Speaker 1: his best work. They're two touchdowns for DeShawn in the
Speaker 1: Redskins defeat and the Cowboys, as we talked about, they
Speaker 1: crushed the the Giants with five consecutive monster drives. Doc
Speaker 1: good contract day for him, four hundred five yards, four touchdowns,
Speaker 1: no picks. He had the perfect passer rating of one
Speaker 1: fifty eight point three, tidy career high with four touchdown
Speaker 1: passes in that win. And uh, Jerry Jones says the
Speaker 1: deal with him is imminent, by the way, quote unquote imminent.
Speaker 1: All of that to say that Dallas will be a
Speaker 1: three and a half point favorite on the road in Washington.
Speaker 1: Now you're a little like it's uh, I see one
Speaker 1: four and a half, but all the way up to
Speaker 1: five and a half. I'm gonna start this game five.
Speaker 1: That's a good number, I think for a bookmaker, because
Speaker 1: if they lay in and do it right to six
Speaker 1: if they take it go right before. I'm not usually
Speaker 1: too afraid of that number, although now nowadays with the
Speaker 1: two point conversion, it's not not what it was when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, which is something that you just
Speaker 1: totally ignored. Uh. To back up a little bit, I
Speaker 1: think Dak Prets Scott really did himself a lot of
Speaker 1: flavors yesterday. He's a talent a kid. I don't put
Speaker 1: him in the upper echelon of quarterbacks, but he's he's
Speaker 1: a little bit below that, but he's I think probably
Speaker 1: a little bit above the middle. But I think one
Speaker 1: one thing about uh Prescott is UH, with the right
Speaker 1: tools around him, and that includes coaching, includes UH, you know,
Speaker 1: good running game and a good defense, I think he
Speaker 1: could be very very effective and even lead this team
Speaker 1: to deep into the playoffs and even to a super
Speaker 1: Bowl if that number gets too high, though, Chrissie, I
Speaker 1: would if if that got to six, Let's say, I
Speaker 1: would bet the Scans because I think in division game,
Speaker 1: I think the Redskins show up for a game like this,
Speaker 1: Yeah I need to I would, you know, And what
Speaker 1: I just said about Prescott, I would probably say the
Speaker 1: same thing about case keenum Um I think when you
Speaker 1: handle him properly, now he's very limited in what he
Speaker 1: can do or you know, I don't think Prescott has
Speaker 1: that same those same limitations, But don't we know how
Speaker 1: to use him properly? And it looked like they did
Speaker 1: know how to use him. Uh. I think he could
Speaker 1: be an effective quarterback, probably in the lower half of
Speaker 1: the the thirty two quarterbacks that are starting. But I
Speaker 1: st can be pretty effective. So I kind of I'm
Speaker 1: kind of with you. It's watching if this number get
Speaker 1: it's too high. I think I can see playing Washington
Speaker 1: because the Dallas coming off a huge, huge win and
Speaker 1: that was over the Vision rival and I think they
Speaker 1: start almost every year playing the Giant seems like a
Speaker 1: big win. And yeah, there was a big win in
Speaker 1: a very easy win for Dallas. Now they're going on
Speaker 1: the road. I think, you know, I think the emotion
Speaker 1: has to be on Washington side here. Um. And plus,
Speaker 1: you know, you get a guy like Dak Prescott. It's
Speaker 1: not Week one where he's you know, hurting, this Week
Speaker 1: two where he's hurting. You know, it's gonna take a
Speaker 1: while to get over, you know, the hitting that you know,
Speaker 1: you just can't prepare for and Cobble, and that's what
Speaker 1: I think Prescott's are. Uh Ezekiel, It's gonna probably be
Speaker 1: a little bit sore this week. I don't think he'll
Speaker 1: be as effective as he was yesterday. From kind of
Speaker 1: leaning with you, I think I think we have a
Speaker 1: chance of getting the six in this game. And I
Speaker 1: think that if that does come, the truition, I think
Speaker 1: I probably like Washington. Yeah, that might be the point
Speaker 1: of resistance too for pro bettors as well. I would
Speaker 1: imagine what next Grizzy Jackson Lord, Houston, Jacksonville, Houston. Houston
Speaker 1: has not played. They play New Orleans tonight, so and
Speaker 1: by the way, New Orleans a seven point or a
Speaker 1: six and a half point favorite, depending on where you're shopping.
Speaker 1: Pretty much consensus six and a half, although I do
Speaker 1: see some sevens in favor of the Saints. That's the
Speaker 1: first of the two Monday night games tonight. That's a
Speaker 1: seven ten eastern excuse me, yes, seven ten eastern, four
Speaker 1: ten Pacific kickoff for Houston New Orleans, followed by Denver, Oakland, Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: Um Man, if it weren't for Cleveland. For some reason,
Speaker 1: I took the most glee out of Cleveland, which I'll
Speaker 1: get too momentarily, and Browns fans before you get upset,
Speaker 1: let me I'll explain why. But Jacksonville yesterday, I think
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey's one of these guys that you just stop talking. Um.
Speaker 1: Jacksonville gets beat yesterday, um by Kansas City forty six.
Speaker 1: They lose Nick Foles with a broken clavical after eight passes.
Speaker 1: Nick Foles with the am Bradford Award for injuries. You
Speaker 1: could predict abstract lee for five hundred alex uh Nick
Speaker 1: Foles after eight passes, and Gardner Minshew from Wazoo comes
Speaker 1: in and can I just say, looked really good. Twenty
Speaker 1: two of twenty five. That's the old Phil Sims Super
Speaker 1: Bowl stead I believe twenty two of twenty five for
Speaker 1: two or seventy five yards, two touchdowns in a pick.
Speaker 1: But Chris Jones hits folds as he released the thirty
Speaker 1: five yard touchdown past the DJ Chark, who, by the way,
Speaker 1: looked great yesterday for the Jags. Four catches a d
Speaker 1: forty six. With that touchdown, Jones landed on top of foals,
Speaker 1: didn't draw flag, falls expected to be put on i
Speaker 1: R and won't be eligible play eligible to play again
Speaker 1: until Week eleven. So Minshoe is the guy for the
Speaker 1: Jaguars for at least the next nine weeks of the
Speaker 1: NFL season and uh ten penalties for the Jags for
Speaker 1: seventy one yards. Got to clean that up as well.
Speaker 1: Site unseen with the Texans, though, I don't know. Let's
Speaker 1: say nothing wild happens tonight, no injuries, no no weird stuff,
Speaker 1: no big blow else. Houston's probably with with Minshew gotta
Speaker 1: be more than a touchdown favorite. I'll just say seven
Speaker 1: and a half as a placeholder. Yeah, I see as
Speaker 1: low as eight and a half, as high as nine
Speaker 1: and a half. Again, I'm gonna I'm gonna use mine here,
Speaker 1: and uh you know, of course we've taken off once
Speaker 1: in Texas kick off to right, but you know, and
Speaker 1: I mean I love college football. I'm not the greatest
Speaker 1: guy with names, definitely, but I've never heard of Gardener
Speaker 1: shoot before yesterday. I had to go look him up,
Speaker 1: and I guess it was pretty good at Wazoo. He was,
Speaker 1: uh you know, I mean they throw the ball pretty
Speaker 1: good over there, and somebody saw something to have because
Speaker 1: you had to know Foles just you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure to put him into Sam Bradford category, but you
Speaker 1: had to know that this guy has not been lucky
Speaker 1: throughout his career as far as injuries go. They had
Speaker 1: to have a pretty good backup quarterback, but they had
Speaker 1: this kid, and you know, he looked pretty garning good.
Speaker 1: I don't know what we're gonna get out of Houston tonight,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna start with nine. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I think that that wise guy trained that you and
Speaker 1: I kind of scoffed that for the last seven or
Speaker 1: eight years. I think they're kind of off the Jags.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, you had your yeah, the bet Jacksonville
Speaker 1: every week care else. They took away your wives guy card,
Speaker 1: But I think that that's the that's kind of gone again.
Speaker 1: They had their one year Christie. They can always have
Speaker 1: the one they did. Absolutely, all right, let's do another
Speaker 1: Talking to Chris Andrews by the way at Andrew's Sports
Speaker 1: on Twitter, South Point Sports Book director. What's next? These
Speaker 1: are all early still on Sunday. Yes, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: there's ten ten o'clock games next week, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I mean for those that don't know,
Speaker 1: I mean Los Angeles, you know, I have to be
Speaker 1: near the hospital. So I have an apartment on campus.
Speaker 1: I only have one TV, and I do have the
Speaker 1: Red Zone channel. I have the Red Zone channel. But otherwise,
Speaker 1: guys who are in sports books all the time the
Speaker 1: red channels. Okay, if you only have one TV, there's
Speaker 1: nowhere near the same experience. Unfortunately, the one game I
Speaker 1: got to watch was the Pittsburgh game night and uh,
Speaker 1: after Tomlin kicked that still goal, I put on Turner
Speaker 1: Classic movie. I think everybody checked out. Everybody checked out
Speaker 1: right then it's like, you, dude, you're not even trying.
Speaker 1: We've done you know, come on, man, I mean come on,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't give a crap about getting shut
Speaker 1: out or not getting shut up. You have to try
Speaker 1: to win the game. I would I would love to
Speaker 1: to call up phone companies and and figure out how
Speaker 1: many texts were sent right at that moment across the country.
Speaker 1: When Tomlin did that down twenty nothing over ten minutes
Speaker 1: lefton third quarter, fourth and goal from the one, let's
Speaker 1: kick a field goal? Um, just I mean you still
Speaker 1: needed three scores. Yeah, It's it's unbelievable. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I'd like to see the point guys, tell you what
Speaker 1: the chances were of you probably had a less chance
Speaker 1: of winning the game if you made the feel rather
Speaker 1: than going forward on the fourth down in missing because
Speaker 1: at least you haven't penned at the want at that point. Well,
Speaker 1: our buddy, and we all know it loves so well
Speaker 1: he actually he actually stated right at the time, he goes,
Speaker 1: you know, kneeling, there might be a better play than
Speaker 1: making a field. Think about that for a second. That
Speaker 1: that's a question. All right, let's go to the next game, though,
Speaker 1: we gotta get through all these Chrissie, what's next? Oh,
Speaker 1: that's that where we're doing now? I get where you're sorry.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, all right. Seattle at Pittsburgh, Seattle gets by survivor, uh,
Speaker 1: just by the skin of their teeth for those who
Speaker 1: had Seattle and Survivor. Yesterday, they just beat the Bengals
Speaker 1: twenty one to twenty was the final on that one, Yes,
Speaker 1: one to twenty. They were nine point home favorites. I
Speaker 1: was on the Bengals, I said on the on the
Speaker 1: Beating the Book podcast on the megapod, I was like,
Speaker 1: that's just way too many points for Seattle team where
Speaker 1: I don't know where their weapons are that they're going
Speaker 1: to cover that that easily since it Nattie Um. Seattle
Speaker 1: defense just let John Ross behind him, most notably at
Speaker 1: the very end of the first half. John Ross, who,
Speaker 1: while in the state of Washington, is just the greatest
Speaker 1: wide receiver who's ever lived, whether in college or or
Speaker 1: as a pro h Pittsburgh they had five full possessions
Speaker 1: of the first half yesterday and punted on four of them,
Speaker 1: going three and out three times against the Patriots. Where
Speaker 1: he talked about the field goal that Tomlin kicked Seattle,
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess they're happy to have the win. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, Tyler Lockett does this thing where it has
Speaker 1: one catch but it's for a touchdown. I don't think
Speaker 1: you read too much in that because Pittsburgh was playing
Speaker 1: New England. I mean, Pittsburgh still should be a favorite,
Speaker 1: and I still think it's more than a field goal,
Speaker 1: say three and a half. Yeah, you're right on extree
Speaker 1: and a half, and I totally agree with that number.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't take too much out of the first week
Speaker 1: games for either team, but I think Pittsburgh gonna be
Speaker 1: okay this year. I think we have a lot of
Speaker 1: question marks on that team, but it is New England.
Speaker 1: If they played and they've had zero success, I shouldn't say, well,
Speaker 1: they've had years success in New England. But you know
Speaker 1: it looks not take too much away from that, and
Speaker 1: I I agree with you as far Seattle, where's their
Speaker 1: weapons at? So I think three and apps a good
Speaker 1: opening number here. Yeah, I'm proud of myself for getting
Speaker 1: that one. Let's do one more here break San Francisco
Speaker 1: at Cincinnati. All right, So before I even get into
Speaker 1: what happened yesterday, this to me is San Francisco's was
Speaker 1: at Tampa Bay this past week. I was on the Niners.
Speaker 1: That's one of the ones that I was able to
Speaker 1: get right. Um, this to me, as far as a
Speaker 1: line shouldn't be that much different than that. I get
Speaker 1: it that this is a an interconference game, but it's
Speaker 1: still not a division opponent at San Francisco on the
Speaker 1: road against the sort of UNFAMILIARUSH opponent. Uh, San Francisco
Speaker 1: beats the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We talked about at Jamis
Speaker 1: Winston with the three picks yesterday. San Francisco had two
Speaker 1: picks all of last year, which is, by the way,
Speaker 1: a pretty incredible stat if you think about they only
Speaker 1: had two picks all the last year, but they get
Speaker 1: three yesterday too that they returned to the house. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Jamis and San Francisco. We talked about this in the preseason.
Speaker 1: They are just really undisciplined to let been penalties yesterday
Speaker 1: for nineties seven yards. Uh. They had three touchdowns themselves
Speaker 1: negated by penalties, turned the ball over twice, didn't get
Speaker 1: a particularly sharp performance from Jimmy g By the way,
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman and a Kello Witherspoon were the ones who
Speaker 1: returned the Winston passes for touchdowns. Robbie Gould three field goals. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Niners fours four turnovers overall, deflected an early punt
Speaker 1: to set up their first scoring drive Andy Dalton yesterday
Speaker 1: in defeat Seattle. The game we were just talking about
Speaker 1: four hundred and eighteen yards, two touchdowns four eighteen and
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton career high and John Ross as I mentioned,
Speaker 1: seven catches one fifty eight two touchdowns. Joe Mixon left
Speaker 1: in the third quarter with the left ankle injury. We
Speaker 1: gotta check on that he did not return. So getting
Speaker 1: back to the fact that San Francisco and Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: was roughly a pick him. I think Tampa Bay closes
Speaker 1: a one point favorite. This should be very much like that.
Speaker 1: So I'll say it's San Francisco. Let's say it's a
Speaker 1: pick them. Maybe San Francisco by a point, but it
Speaker 1: should be right around there, right. Yeah, I see almost
Speaker 1: in San Francisco too, And uh, truth, I like your
Speaker 1: number better, Gil. I think when you look back at
Speaker 1: that game, yeah, I mean, did the Niners win or
Speaker 1: did Tampa Bay loop? I think it was more Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay law. It was not that impressed with the Niners.
Speaker 1: I think Garoppolo, you know, I mean, I think there's
Speaker 1: some serious question marks there. How about Cincinnati looked pretty good.
Speaker 1: You know, it was going up to Seattle, very tough
Speaker 1: place to walk out with a win. I kind of
Speaker 1: was like you, I like them with the number, but
Speaker 1: I was surprised they were in the game all the
Speaker 1: way to the end. Danny I had a decent chance
Speaker 1: of winning it. And uh Andy Dalton, I know he
Speaker 1: gets knocked a lot on social media, and that time
Speaker 1: he's pretty decent quarterback. And I think I like the
Speaker 1: lower number here. Like I said, I do see one
Speaker 1: one and a half. Uh, I seem mostly because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open at one and a half and probably take
Speaker 1: a bet on the Niners because I think I think
Speaker 1: I like the Bengals in this front. You know, we'll
Speaker 1: review these at the end of the show, but so far,
Speaker 1: for me, like this is like the platter to the Redskins.
Speaker 1: To me, might have the most value if that Cowboys
Speaker 1: number gets too high, if people overreact, so yeah, forgets,
Speaker 1: this will be on the patch to you. Look you know,
Speaker 1: yeah that's me. That's me old chugging JB. You like
Speaker 1: the Redskins one too, Yeah, yeah, I love divisional home dogs.
Speaker 1: And so if that, if that number keeps climbing, it
Speaker 1: just makes a lot of sense. Yeah, I just I
Speaker 1: don't think I think the Redskins Alabama defense shows up
Speaker 1: for that. If it gets too high, that might be
Speaker 1: too attempting not to take. We'll come back. Got six
Speaker 1: more games to get to, I believe by my account.
Speaker 1: Chrissie Andrews, South Point Hotel sports book director with us
Speaker 1: as always and for those asking, we'll get to some
Speaker 1: tweets too, because we want to answer the question will
Speaker 1: there be story time? We'll get to that next on
Speaker 1: the numbers game at visa back on the numbers game, JB.
Speaker 1: I see that Tom Hanks is starring in a Mr.
Speaker 1: Rogers movie. Do you ever see that Mr Rogers documentary?
Speaker 1: By the way, there was amazing statin there. I remember
Speaker 1: you talking about it for quite a while. You tried
Speaker 1: to sell me on it. I never actually got around
Speaker 1: to watching. Believe it was called Won't You Be My Neighbors?
Speaker 1: But Mr Rogers Fred Rogers, every single morning of his
Speaker 1: adult life, every single one he weighed. He claims to
Speaker 1: have weighed one and forty one pounds. I believe that
Speaker 1: was the number. But whatever the number was, it was
Speaker 1: every single morning of every day of his life. That's
Speaker 1: just amazing. That's pretty unbelievable. I wish I could do that. Jeez.
Speaker 1: We get tweets at beating the book, by the way,
Speaker 1: looking forward to that time next movie. By the way,
Speaker 1: we get a lot of tweets here Sean Higgs. Nice
Speaker 1: to see v S. J B getting some FaceTime on
Speaker 1: a numbers game with Gil. Hopefully uh Todd doesn't come
Speaker 1: in with omelet rage and hate over this light change
Speaker 1: to his show. That's what happened. Most of this is
Speaker 1: just teeming though, Chrissie with just love for you absolutely
Speaker 1: uh cowboy underscore Cubs want absolutely phenomenal to hear you
Speaker 1: and Chrissie during your thing. Loved his book, but hearing
Speaker 1: him on the mend is way better story time. Um,
Speaker 1: how should we put that? That may be later in
Speaker 1: the season there will be some perhaps news stories maybe
Speaker 1: perhaps kind of sort of maybe and maybe you know,
Speaker 1: I don't have one prepared for today, not today, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe yeah, and uh, you know, well, and thanks for
Speaker 1: mentioning the book. We haven't mentioned a book. We're all
Speaker 1: over almost an hour and a half. And but of
Speaker 1: course I want to sell some books and go to
Speaker 1: Amazon or Huntington Press. Then one day the name by
Speaker 1: book of course, and the reviews are great. Sales have
Speaker 1: been pretty good too, so, but you always want to
Speaker 1: sell more. And thanks a lot of people have mentioned it,
Speaker 1: and thanks for the boys. Some one guy tweeted just
Speaker 1: the best book ever. I felt like saying, yeah, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of good ones. I'm not sure I'm putting
Speaker 1: that counter. It's thank you very much, by the way,
Speaker 1: but uh, you know, uh, you know, I'm sure Charles
Speaker 1: Dickens or Mark Twain or some might have something to
Speaker 1: say about that if they were still a lot, but
Speaker 1: they're not, so I'll thank the best book ever and
Speaker 1: saying yeah, thank you, Billy Shakespeare's got nothing on you
Speaker 1: for the plays, Chuck Dickens, Nothing, Chrissie Andrews. Then One Day,
Speaker 1: which is available and and it is available right now
Speaker 1: corrected Amazon. Yesh, Yeah, I was when on a print,
Speaker 1: I mean after a month, I mean then go out
Speaker 1: of print. They sold the whole thing, you know, so
Speaker 1: that was kind of nice, you know, but I wish
Speaker 1: they had to print some more. But they have printed
Speaker 1: more now, and yeah, I think it's readily available on Amazon.
Speaker 1: Then one Day and or you know, there's a link
Speaker 1: on my Twitter on my pin tweet if you got
Speaker 1: to my twitter feed, easy access there at Andrew's Sports

Speaker 1: an exclaplation exclamation point from Bob Heating glad to hear
Speaker 1: Chrissie on the show this morning. From Skinny seventy seven. Uh,
Speaker 1: so no parlay today with the Brewers. There's one. No
Speaker 1: no parlay today with the Brewers. People still they're like,
Speaker 1: welcome back, miss Book. We haven't said miss Book yet either. Today.
Speaker 1: That's from Godfather seven oh two, and on and on
Speaker 1: and on for you, Chrissy. They love you so thank you.
Speaker 1: I try to answer a bunch of these on the breaks.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure I've missed quite a few, but thanks,
Speaker 1: thanks to everybody for listening, and thank you for all
Speaker 1: the well wishes, and by the way, for people that
Speaker 1: are asking, I'm doing pretty good and so far, so good.
Speaker 1: We've still got a couple of mountains to climb, but
Speaker 1: so far, so good. Yeah, it was nice to see
Speaker 1: you and and your wife Pam down there, and I know, uh,
Speaker 1: you're on the mend and so so far no news
Speaker 1: is good news. All good so far, and so we
Speaker 1: hope that that continues. Let us continue because we have
Speaker 1: I think a half dozen more games to get to
Speaker 1: what do you got Minnesota at Green Bay? Green Bay
Speaker 1: with extra rest. We have our first extra rest situation
Speaker 1: here on the show, Minnesota coming off a win over
Speaker 1: the Falcons yesterday. This was so interesting yesterday, first of all,
Speaker 1: Minnesota to twelve, all of Atlanta's points in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter when they were down twenty one to nothing, so
Speaker 1: it was in garbage time. And you look at this
Speaker 1: box screen. We're talking about Lamar Jackson and the Ravens
Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott, both of those guys with perfect passer
Speaker 1: ratings and just hundreds upon hundreds of yards. Chrissie kirk Cousins,
Speaker 1: he of the eighty four point seven million dollar contract,
Speaker 1: eight of ten for nine eight he dropped back eleven
Speaker 1: times total. That was the Minnesota game plan though, by
Speaker 1: the way, all those career lows for a games he started,
Speaker 1: by the way kirk Cousins, to his credit, after the game,
Speaker 1: he was like, that's what the game called for. I'm
Speaker 1: all about it. I'm paraphrasing. I don't think Kirk actually
Speaker 1: used the phrase I'm all about it. Uh. Dalvin Cook
Speaker 1: twenty one carries a hundred eleven yards two touchdowns. Cook
Speaker 1: who by the way, of course, missed seventeen of his
Speaker 1: first thirty two games of his career due to injury.
Speaker 1: Viking is another team that have to clean up the
Speaker 1: penalties eleven for a hundred yards on their side, but
Speaker 1: Anthony Harris two picks fumble recovery. And we remember last Thursday,
Speaker 1: green Bay, even in victory over the Mitch Trabinsky lead
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. I put that in quotes. They were good
Speaker 1: on defense. That's the one thing the Packers could take
Speaker 1: away from that game. Seventeen pressures by Green Bay, eleven
Speaker 1: by new players on Trabinsky, but on offense three point
Speaker 1: seven yards per play. Yes, it was against the vaunted
Speaker 1: Bears defense. They were out gained in that game to
Speaker 1: fifty four to thirteen. But it's a division game, it's
Speaker 1: at Lambeau. God is this I mean, this is gonna
Speaker 1: sound kind of lazy, but is it a coin flip? Chrissie,
Speaker 1: I hesitate to guess that a three. It's more like
Speaker 1: a three in favor of Hooe with juice green Bay
Speaker 1: three with juice on the dog or two and a
Speaker 1: half the juice on the favorite. Wow. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. I was very impressed with Minnesota too.
Speaker 1: I think they're they're a good, good team, and you know,
Speaker 1: talked about um kirk Cousins performance. That's what the game
Speaker 1: called for. It really was, you know, So they didn't
Speaker 1: need him to go back and throw if they do
Speaker 1: need him at some point. You know, I'm still my
Speaker 1: completely sold on Cousins. I can tell you that I
Speaker 1: am completely sold though on the rest of that team.
Speaker 1: Defense is really good, and I needed Atlanta yesterday and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, and it was it was over kind of early.
Speaker 1: H The score was really not indicative of the play.
Speaker 1: I was also impressed with the green Bay defense too, though,
Speaker 1: and I think their offense will be fine in the
Speaker 1: long run. I think maybe just needed some adjustment. Of course,
Speaker 1: you know, Rogers never played a snap during preseason, but
Speaker 1: I think the green Bay offense will be okay, especially
Speaker 1: now you've got one game under spelled in a couple
Speaker 1: of days extra rest or practice. Uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: think three is are good open number. Myself, Well, I
Speaker 1: have to have you know, you're gonna be on Minnesota,
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna be. Yeah. I think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those games where it's gonna go
Speaker 1: back and forth between two and a half and three.
Speaker 1: And I'm the half. Of course, we do everything at
Speaker 1: eleven and ten at the South Point, um, but I
Speaker 1: think it's uh, you know, the lay the two and
Speaker 1: a half at minus one ten to pick the plus
Speaker 1: three at minus one ten. That's just what we do here.
Speaker 1: And I talked to Michael, talked to Frank Tody, and they,
Speaker 1: you know, they insist that's the right way to do it.
Speaker 1: And I have to tell you I agree with them.
Speaker 1: You know, when you walk into the South Point, you
Speaker 1: know you're gonna lay minus one tent is all I
Speaker 1: could tell you. You might not have the number you
Speaker 1: want that if you if you're gonna bet, it's eleven
Speaker 1: and ten on the games off the board. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open three. They'll probably bet me on the dog
Speaker 1: will be at too an app and they'll probably bet
Speaker 1: me in a favor, but I'm gonna open three. I
Speaker 1: think don't take too much away from that Packer offense
Speaker 1: in the first week. I think their offense will be
Speaker 1: fine and I think their defense pretty good. But oh no,
Speaker 1: I think these are two pretty pretty good teams. I
Speaker 1: think at the end of the year. Uh, these two
Speaker 1: teams still be certainly in the playoffs on even the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl possibility. UM, I never want to overreact to
Speaker 1: one game. No team is as good as they look
Speaker 1: one week or as bad as they look one week.
Speaker 1: So let's let's put that caveat at the beginning. But
Speaker 1: if you're giving me a full field goal here, and
Speaker 1: here's the difference between say, the Vikings and the and
Speaker 1: the Falcons, who they just played yesterday. The Falcons, to me,
Speaker 1: are a team that is built for a dome, right
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, and and that receiving corps running around in
Speaker 1: a in a dome environment didn't work out for them yesterday,
Speaker 1: mind you, against the Vikings team that was just just
Speaker 1: played great against him. And I agree with you. I
Speaker 1: think they played wonderfully, was a great game plan. I
Speaker 1: don't think the Vikings are dome specific. I think you
Speaker 1: know Kirk Cousins, who played in Washington so many years outdoors,
Speaker 1: I think Dalvin Cook is really the engine. Maybe not
Speaker 1: not the engine because because Cousins can throw it around
Speaker 1: the yard for sure, as well to Feeling and Digs
Speaker 1: and company. But I uh, I actually think the Vikings
Speaker 1: are a better football team all around than the Packers.
Speaker 1: And I am not so sure. I know this is
Speaker 1: this is sacrilege, but we saw this from Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: last year, and I get it. It It was against the
Speaker 1: Bears this past Thursday, I'm just just the first sort
Speaker 1: of time in my life. And I think in any
Speaker 1: football fans life where you sort of look at Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers and you say, are you still as spectacular as
Speaker 1: you once were? Maybe he is? Maybe he is, but
Speaker 1: you give me the three points. I'll take him on
Speaker 1: the vikings in this one. I'm all about it. I
Speaker 1: see your point. I mean, I have my questions about
Speaker 1: Rogers too. The thing is, he's not like Brady in
Speaker 1: the sense that, you know, Brady relies on a lot
Speaker 1: of things besides his pure athletic ability, and I think
Speaker 1: Rogers relies very much on his athletic ability. And you know,
Speaker 1: he's getting a little long in the tooth. He's not
Speaker 1: too terribly old that you know, father time can hit
Speaker 1: you pretty suddenly. Just ask Adam Vinetarry. And I'm not
Speaker 1: sure we're there with Rogers yet, and I'm gonna I
Speaker 1: think we are not. But I think three is a
Speaker 1: good opening number. And that's where I'm gonna start. Adam
Speaker 1: vidness Arry, by the way, forty six years of age. Cheeze,
Speaker 1: All right, let's do one more. Are you just going
Speaker 1: to hit Brady for God's sake? And never Chrissy, Father
Speaker 1: time is looking across at Brady and going like, oh no,
Speaker 1: I could lose one here. This might be the run.
Speaker 1: This might be the one I'm gonna lose. All right,
Speaker 1: what's next? We got it? What the movie? The seventh?
Speaker 1: The seventh? We're you death? Going to start playing chess
Speaker 1: with this guy? Yes? Right? Okay? Kansas City at Oakland,
Speaker 1: All right, Kansas City we talked about already. Kansas City
Speaker 1: beat beat Jacksonville forty to twenty six. Patrick Mahomes doing
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes things three hundred and seventy eight yards. Most
Speaker 1: of those came in the first half. It was over
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy ten for eighty one on the ground in
Speaker 1: his debut with the with the Chiefs, and Sammy Watkins
Speaker 1: nine for one and three touchdowns. Tyree Hill, though, had
Speaker 1: to leave this game. For those of us who had
Speaker 1: Tyreek and fantasy, don't we know it? He was transported
Speaker 1: to a hospital after sustaining a shoulder injury. Jalen Ramsey
Speaker 1: rolled over on him and the team's at the head
Speaker 1: athletic trainer Rick Burkholder said Hill had a sterno clavicular
Speaker 1: joint injury. Taking a baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville. Care
Speaker 1: was turned over to Ortho trauma physician. All in all
Speaker 1: that was by the way to reduce the dislocation or
Speaker 1: the injury. He's out for a few weeks, is what
Speaker 1: I'm getting at. Um. But it's at Oakland. Oakland hasn't
Speaker 1: played Oakland place to night they host Denver the two
Speaker 1: and a half point Dogs. It's the Antonio Brown List
Speaker 1: Raiders who have gotten Keelan DAWs back on the team
Speaker 1: now after they just released him. They threw a few
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars at him, a guy that wasn't good
Speaker 1: enough to play for him a week ago. Um, Kansas
Speaker 1: City just sit unseen on the Raiders gotta be a
Speaker 1: double digit road favorite. Yes, they will be. I'll say
Speaker 1: ten and a half on the road. You're a little high.
Speaker 1: It's nine and a half. I got to tell you,
Speaker 1: I got Frisky's very impressed with Kansas City. It's pretty
Speaker 1: darny good. Yeah, yeah, that's uh, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think the Raiders are going to be a disaster,
Speaker 1: but we haven't seen him yet, so it's really not
Speaker 1: fair to guess. But ten and a half versus nine
Speaker 1: enf okay, I will say this though, by Kansas City,
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about some of the fallacy of
Speaker 1: some of these trends that you look at what Kansas
Speaker 1: City wins, they usually win by a lot more than
Speaker 1: like three, you know. And I've been a couple of
Speaker 1: contests like Kansas City yesterday, and they can run it
Speaker 1: up pretty good. I'm gonna open nine and a half.
Speaker 1: I think wise guys would take the ten pretty quickly.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna open nine and a half. But after
Speaker 1: tonight's game, we'll have to reevaluate. If Oakland looks good,
Speaker 1: then I we'll see. But they look bad. Boy. Kansas
Speaker 1: City just is known to run these teams right out
Speaker 1: of the state. You know. Yeah, boy, they that's a
Speaker 1: that's a darn good football team. I get telling you that.
Speaker 1: A little a little scary with Mahomes yesterday. I had
Speaker 1: to limp off the field at one point, but it
Speaker 1: came right back on. The Beauty of youth came right
Speaker 1: back on the field. Yeah. Was that? Was that? Was
Speaker 1: that a late game? Have we gotten to the late
Speaker 1: games yet? Was that a late game game? That's the
Speaker 1: first of the one? All right, let's do do we have?
Speaker 1: We have two more late games, two more one o'clock,
Speaker 1: and we have a Sunday night game and then the
Speaker 1: Monday night. All right, give me the two more one o'clock.
Speaker 1: So you're real quick, Okay, New Orleans at the Ramsay tonight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: New Orleans sight unseen right now. There's six and a
Speaker 1: half point favorites tonight, first of the two against Houston
Speaker 1: at home yesterday the Rams. They beat the Panthers on
Speaker 1: the road by three. The only thing I want to
Speaker 1: say about that game, besides because we already talking about
Speaker 1: the Cam side, because I think the Cam Newton side
Speaker 1: was interesting too. I'm not sure about his arm strength yet,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about his decision making. Todd Gurley is
Speaker 1: still a very curious thing. Chrissie seven yards on fourteen carries.
Speaker 1: When you look at the box score, you're like, hey, look,
Speaker 1: Dodd Gurley ninety seven yards and fourteen carries, but thirty
Speaker 1: nine on seven with ten minutes left in the game.
Speaker 1: He had seven carries for thirty nine yards with ten
Speaker 1: minutes left in the game. We talked about this throughout
Speaker 1: the postseason. What's the deal with Todd Gurley? So he
Speaker 1: did go on to double more than double the day's
Speaker 1: production in that you know, ensuing series. But in the
Speaker 1: first half it was five carries for eight yards, um,
Speaker 1: so sixty four of his ninety seven. And the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter you get the idea, what what's the deal? And
Speaker 1: so I mean again sight unseen with the with the Saints,
Speaker 1: I'll just say it's gonna be the Rams. Mine is
Speaker 1: three because who knows what the Saints will do tonight.
Speaker 1: But the girly thing is very odd still, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: is the Rams three. That's what I'm gonna open it.
Speaker 1: And it's funny you mentioned girly. My wife has girly
Speaker 1: in her Fantasy league, and you know we only have
Speaker 1: the red zones, you know, so we can't flip back
Speaker 1: and forth and watch games. But she's girly playing the night.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him doing anything. And then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, like he said, you'll get a boxer. I
Speaker 1: guess he did, but he wasn't there when when the
Speaker 1: game was on the line. Let's put it that way.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. It's a good that's kind of
Speaker 1: a mystery. We'll see, uh see what happening there? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well he helps seal it for me. Wasn't there the
Speaker 1: rest of the time. It didn't something. What's the last one?
Speaker 1: Was the last one? Sunday afternoon? Chicago at Denver. Alright,
Speaker 1: so Denver again, we haven't seen them yet. They played
Speaker 1: tonight against the Raiders in the second of the two games. Tonight,
Speaker 1: Denver a two and a half point favorite. Now that
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown no longer plays for Oakland, that's gone up
Speaker 1: to two and a half. Chicago at Denver on Chicago
Speaker 1: extra rest. The only takeaway again, Chicago's defense still as
Speaker 1: good as we thought. But Chicago, Mr Rubisky very shaky
Speaker 1: to me. Uh. The Adrian name is stare down the
Speaker 1: biggest pick of that game, the biggest play of that game,
Speaker 1: I should say. And then the curious fourth and ten
Speaker 1: at the thirty four with four minutes left in the
Speaker 1: third quarter, where they don't kick a field goal, Like,
Speaker 1: why is Pinnaro on the team if you're not kicking
Speaker 1: a fifty one yard field goal at that point in
Speaker 1: the game where you're very much in it, and you know,
Speaker 1: Drobisky just runs six yards and that's the end of that. Um,
Speaker 1: that's a That's a pick them, isn't it? Like how
Speaker 1: can you make without seeing Denver how can you make
Speaker 1: alliance to pick them? To me, yeah, I seem mostly
Speaker 1: thick see both sides one and a couple of spots.
Speaker 1: But I think pick comes a good number. I gotta say,
Speaker 1: I think Denver has a chance to be pretty good.
Speaker 1: That's I think. I know I'm not the only one
Speaker 1: that says, but I think Denver has a chance to
Speaker 1: be pretty good. And I'd like to pick them. And
Speaker 1: I know there's you know, there's a lot of Chicago
Speaker 1: people who back them with with money and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I think, but I think that, you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: so sure they will after that first week. I don't
Speaker 1: know a lot of questions about Trabisky obviously, and I
Speaker 1: think they're world warranted. But I think pick comes a
Speaker 1: good place to start, and Denver is a circuit contest
Speaker 1: pick for me tonight as well. Two and a half
Speaker 1: point favorites at Oakland. We'll come back, We'll do the
Speaker 1: Sunday night and Monday night at the primetime games next
Speaker 1: with Chrissy, and then we'll review them all see where
Speaker 1: we think we have the most value. And again the
Speaker 1: caveat don't hold us to any of this. This is
Speaker 1: just the first impression um. And then of course we'll
Speaker 1: spend the next four days completely in our heads convincing
Speaker 1: ourselves otherwise you know how this goes. It's guessing lines too,
Speaker 1: right here on a numbers game at Visa, you know,
Speaker 1: Alexander Wait two NFL guessing lines with Chrissie Andrews. Yes,
Speaker 1: back in the saddle. JB. Who's producing today? You said
Speaker 1: they're doing something behind the glass or downstairs? What are
Speaker 1: they doing? Oh, we're yeah, we're playing guests the guesses
Speaker 1: with with our staff downstairs. You know, as soon as
Speaker 1: you guys get to a game, we make our lines
Speaker 1: and then compare them to yours. Oh, I see, I
Speaker 1: thought you were guessing what we were gonna go. I
Speaker 1: see what I was gonna guess. I understand. It's got
Speaker 1: your own guessing lines. Well, that's how you know what.
Speaker 1: That's how this should be the whole point of this show.
Speaker 1: And this is, by the way, this is derivative. I
Speaker 1: should have said at the outset, but we said all
Speaker 1: the time from the old Stardust show back in the day,
Speaker 1: with which Chrissy knows far better than I do. Um
Speaker 1: an opening look at lines and uh sight unseen just
Speaker 1: being a cocoon, guess him and then try to extract
Speaker 1: value from the entire exercise. But hopefully everybody interactively is
Speaker 1: playing along. And that's how you should probably open your
Speaker 1: approach to the next week's NFL schedule. That's how we
Speaker 1: intend this to be. Anyway, Chrissy's here, you want do
Speaker 1: Sunday Night or you have anything to say about the
Speaker 1: start US show? First of all, oh man, that was
Speaker 1: a great, great show. You know the opening line at
Speaker 1: the start uh mentioned in my book, but that was
Speaker 1: that was an event and Scnnie Chandler, Who's gonna be
Speaker 1: on your show later this week? He was running the
Speaker 1: start dust at the time, and UH like that. One
Speaker 1: of my favorite stories is a guy pulled a gun
Speaker 1: one time to get in line. If I'm gonna pull
Speaker 1: a gun on somebody, I'm gonna rob him. I'm not
Speaker 1: giving them my money. That what this guy did. He
Speaker 1: pulled a gun so that he could make a bet.
Speaker 1: That's right, right, Yeah, I think you might as gonna
Speaker 1: just rob the guy at that Yeah, because everybody had money,
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, pull your gun and rob a guy.
Speaker 1: Every better is like, oh yeah, that sounds reasonable. Listen,
Speaker 1: that sounds reasonable. Why don't I get every guys man,
Speaker 1: you know, I should see doing that. Yeah, what's Sunday night,
Speaker 1: Chrissie For Week two? Philadelphia and Atlanta? All right, Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz yesterday finished nicety three touchdowns, no picks. Philly just
Speaker 1: controlled the clock more than forty minutes time of possession.
Speaker 1: Dis Shawn Jackson two touchdowns and his return to the
Speaker 1: Eagles after Chip Kelly unceremoniously h sent him on his way.
Speaker 1: Eight catches for one four for d Jacks and Atlanta,
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, lost to the Vikings in pretty spectacular fashion.
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan did throw for three d four yards, but
Speaker 1: two picks, sacked four times. The Falcons were minus three
Speaker 1: in turnovers to Minnesota. They had a lot of penalties,
Speaker 1: nine for seventy eight yards, Julio Jones managing only thirty
Speaker 1: one yards on six catches. All that said, Atlanta by
Speaker 1: a field goal. Wow, let's pick them. And I even
Speaker 1: see an occasional one really on Philadelphia. Yeah, I don't see.
Speaker 1: I don't get that. I don't get that. I would
Speaker 1: take the I would take the Falcons there on the
Speaker 1: home turf. I think they'll bounce back. Interesting pick them,
Speaker 1: all right? This is the point of the show. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like pick them myself. I think that's okay. And
Speaker 1: I think the public probably gonna be on Philadelphia here.
Speaker 1: You know, they can't remember it and passed last week.
Speaker 1: You know that's the thing. It's like, did anything happen
Speaker 1: eight days ago that we know? No, that's when the
Speaker 1: world started. Yeah, but I think the public will probably
Speaker 1: be on Philly. You know, I steel think Atlanta has
Speaker 1: a pretty good chance to win that division. Let's not
Speaker 1: take away too much from that game yesterday, but you
Speaker 1: know you said it earlier and nobody's as good at
Speaker 1: it as bad as they looked, you know, the previous week.
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's probably a decent spot to
Speaker 1: Atlanta plants to say this. I know Carson Wentz. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of different opinions on this kid. It's been
Speaker 1: hurt and I know it gets some of the Dak
Speaker 1: Prescott guys compared went Press Scott, you know, for some
Speaker 1: pure numbers. You know, this kid's pretty good. With Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: he's pretty darn good. And uh, I think he'll be
Speaker 1: uh in the hunt for an m v P P
Speaker 1: stays healthy, which yeah, you know, who knows but he's
Speaker 1: pretty darn good. But I think the public will be
Speaker 1: on silly. I'm anna open pick and see where they
Speaker 1: want to take me. I couldn't agree more that he'll
Speaker 1: be in the running for an m v P. I'm
Speaker 1: very bullish on Carson wins and very I think the
Speaker 1: Eagles get to the Super Bowl. I really do. But
Speaker 1: I would have expected this to be Atlanta minus three.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised by that, despite but you're right, no one remembers,
Speaker 1: no one remembers anything best yesterday, so maybe I shouldn't
Speaker 1: be that surprise. What's what's Monday? Let's close it out
Speaker 1: with Monday Night? Oh, this is like the overrated Bowl
Speaker 1: right there. Cleveland at the Jet, Cleveland at the Jets.
Speaker 1: So this is the matchup that started Monday night football,
Speaker 1: right This was the very first Monday night football game,
Speaker 1: right was the Browns and the Jets. And I've been
Speaker 1: waiting all show to game. And I donath I think
Speaker 1: bill Nels was the quarterbacks to Cleveland, Um Brown's at Jets.
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for this because, for whatever reason, I
Speaker 1: took more glee in the Browns destruction yesterday at the
Speaker 1: hands of the Titans than anything the Titans beating them
Speaker 1: forty three to thirteen. And I think the reason is
Speaker 1: and I went off on Baker Mayfield at one point
Speaker 1: this offseason. I really love Baker Mayfield. When he was
Speaker 1: playing for Oklahoma the whole season, I was like, how
Speaker 1: is this guy? Guy not gonna be the number one
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. And remember the consensus was that
Speaker 1: he was not even gonna be close to that, And
Speaker 1: finally cooler heads were vailed and he ended up being that.
Speaker 1: But I love his game. I think he's spectacular on
Speaker 1: the field. But shut up, seriously, Like he got in
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson's business. You know this this off season before that,
Speaker 1: you know, the whole Hugh Jackson thing where he wouldn't
Speaker 1: hug him or shake his hand or whatever he didn't
Speaker 1: do because Hugh had the nerve to go coach the
Speaker 1: with the Bengals. Like that's how life is, dude, Like
Speaker 1: you're not that uh, you know wise to make these
Speaker 1: assessments about individuals. Maybe win something and then start the yapping.
Speaker 1: Um Odell Beckham junior thousand dollar watch on his wrist
Speaker 1: yesterday during the game, he had seven catches or seventy
Speaker 1: one in his Cleveland debut. But here's the deal. We
Speaker 1: don't know anything about Freddie Kitchens. They committed eighteen penalties
Speaker 1: for one hundred and eighty two yards. Grizzye eighteen for
Speaker 1: was That's what stuck out to me more than anything.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I mean that, you know that that's
Speaker 1: that's a that's like the half of a day for
Speaker 1: a pretty good offense, you know, you know, get that
Speaker 1: many yards. Yeah, by the way, Brown's one nineteen and
Speaker 1: one and opener since nine. As Browns fans know so well,
Speaker 1: we're running shorter time. So I'll just leave it with
Speaker 1: the Jets that we know. They gave up the sixteen
Speaker 1: and nothing lead to the bills that we talked about.
Speaker 1: They lost Corey Vedvik missed a extra point in forty
Speaker 1: five yard attempt. I'm not sure if he'll be there
Speaker 1: as their kicker next week. All that said, Cleveland on
Speaker 1: the road at the Jets, it won't be three. I'll
Speaker 1: split the difference between three and pick and I'll say
Speaker 1: Cleveland minus one and a half because people still love Cleveland. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's to two and a half. Um, you know, jeez,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna open cool. I guess. Yeah again,
Speaker 1: I'd like to root against both teams come Monday night,
Speaker 1: but one of them. Yeah, I'm open to you really
Speaker 1: want to take me on this one? Yeahs name for
Speaker 1: the Jets Mosley in or out? Yeah, that's what we
Speaker 1: gotta fa We gotta get an update on most. We'll
Speaker 1: get JB on that. Really, we gotta figure out what
Speaker 1: his status is because that whole game certainly changed yesterday.
Speaker 1: When ce j Mosley what we'll come back. We'll review
Speaker 1: them all, see where we found the most value, or
Speaker 1: at least where I think the most value is. It's
Speaker 1: a numbers game. Week two, guessing lines with the Great
Speaker 1: Christie Andrews right here at Visa with Jill Alexander. All right,
Speaker 1: just enough time to review these then my guesses versus
Speaker 1: what the actual number is here at the South Point
Speaker 1: Hotel Casino. And really, as we flash those across the
Speaker 1: screen of Visa dot Com and the Visa app, when
Speaker 1: it comes down for me, JB is New England. Um,
Speaker 1: I just don't think ink again. I know sharp money
Speaker 1: motor skills are gonna say are going to take the Dolphins,
Speaker 1: but they have no players. So for me, it's New England.
Speaker 1: I think Washington if that Dallas line gets too gets
Speaker 1: too high. Atlanta to me should be favorite, it shouldn't
Speaker 1: be a pick, and Minnesota to me shouldn't be catching three.
Speaker 1: So for me, it's New England, Washington, Atlanta, and Minnesota.
Speaker 1: How about you, JB, I think I'm right there and
Speaker 1: lockstep with you. I'm kind of a glutton for punishment,
Speaker 1: so I'd probably tease Miami, you know, assuming that if
Speaker 1: that number goes up, how I'll take plus yea um.
Speaker 1: But other than that, I think the Vikings are my
Speaker 1: my my next favorite player. Then after that the Skins
Speaker 1: game that we talked about already there you new England
Speaker 1: could stop playing midstream, That's for sure. They could do that.
Speaker 1: They could lose interest. Chrissy, what about you? Where do
Speaker 1: you think the value exists? Well? I think if the
Speaker 1: Cowboys game gets the six, I would like Washington, and uh,
Speaker 1: I like the Bengals, I think, you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: that impressed with the Niners. And you know, I think
Speaker 1: I think Cincinnati probably not as bad as everybody thought
Speaker 1: I wanted to this year, you know, so I kind
Speaker 1: of like the Night Higher. I kind of like Cincinnati
Speaker 1: in that game. But That's about it for me. Okay, yeah, Chrissy,
Speaker 1: I love you man. Let's do it again next week.
Speaker 1: How about that sounds like a plan. Let's let's do that,
Speaker 1: all right. The book is then one day Again, available
Speaker 1: at Amazon. Chris Andrew's on Twitter at Andrew's Sports. We'll
Speaker 1: do this again every Monday right here on our numbers.
Speaker 1: Game Aga
