Of course the Oracle himself, Matt Friedman with 12 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: me as always, and today we've hooked a whale. It's 13 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: wail Capper himself, Drew Dinsik joining us. Drew, how are 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: you doing. 15 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 2: I'm well. 16 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 3: I appreciate you guys having me. Week five is a 17 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 3: fun one to kind of connect with some new voices 18 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 3: and kind of get some more perspective because. 19 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: The easy ish part of the season is over. 20 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 3: If you had good priors, you did well early in 21 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 3: the season, and now the market is caught up. Like 22 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 3: if you had like some thesis that the Eagles were 23 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 3: going to be great this year. 24 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: Well guess what. 25 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 3: Now they're five point favorites on the road to a 26 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: team that was squarely in the playoff on the one 27 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 3: seed conversation last year, So you know, presumably. 28 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 2: No more betting value there. 29 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 3: That kind of goes for a lot of sort of 30 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 3: kind of macro thoughts against you across across the league 31 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 3: team wise, So you can't really lean on having a 32 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 3: prior that was better than the market at the start 33 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 3: of the season, and you need to start now finding 34 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 3: other actionable angles to to suss out an edge against 35 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 3: probably the most the most liquid, and most difficult market 36 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 3: to beat in the world. 37 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 1: And let's start out talking a little bit about that, 38 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: because it is a great point I feel like a 39 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: lot of people are going to default to. And even 40 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: I for a second was like, wow, really, this is 41 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: the easiest part of the season when we know nothing. 42 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: But you make a really great point. If your priors 43 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: were right, you probably had a really good first four 44 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: weeks of the year. So where do you go from here? 45 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: What are the things that you think people should be 46 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: looking at as they try make their new opinions here 47 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: with a four game sample. 48 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 3: Size, Yeah, so there were some parts of priors for 49 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 3: every single team, even ones you had a really solid 50 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 3: read on that you needed, you know, a little. 51 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 2: Bit of confirmation on. 52 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: And I think you have to now use the Ford 53 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 3: game sample you have and start to kind of crystallize 54 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: the ones where you feel like you've gotten enough, you know, 55 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 3: you've gotten enough of a read to say, sincerely that 56 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 3: team x's, uh, you know, is a solid defensive unit 57 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: at least through passing. Passing defenses an A plus and 58 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 3: run defenses is a B. Therefore, this is a good defense, right, 59 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 3: So you know, kind of going through team by team 60 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 3: and making those sort of qualitative assessments based on what 61 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 3: you have is pretty important at this stage. And then 62 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 3: from there pivoting into you know, who are some teams 63 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 3: that underperformed? Why did they underperform expectation? Are they going 64 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 3: to ultimately grow into their prior as you kind of 65 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 3: get through this next portion of the season, or are 66 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: they or are they just they are who they are 67 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 3: and we can now kind of grade them as you know, 68 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: not as good or a lot better. Those are kind 69 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 3: of the key decisions that I think really helped inform 70 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 3: betting for this next phase. The other kind of weird 71 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 3: thing that always manifests this time of year, and it 72 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 3: was a week earlier this year, motivations start to become 73 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 3: an issue. It is pretty i at least look at 74 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 3: some of the sort of the standout sides that performed 75 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 3: well in Week four, and you can point to the 76 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: Niners last night on Monday Night football. You can point to, 77 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: you know, the Raiders against the against the Broncos on 78 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 3: Sunday afternoon. The Raiders were facing an. 79 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 2: Own four start. 80 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 3: Every adjustment that they had in their pocket to possibly 81 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: try to, you know, try to get themselves a win, 82 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 3: they deployed, you know. The Broncos on the other hand, 83 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 3: coming in sitting two and one, even though they you know, 84 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 3: they clearly have some answers to, you know, the questions 85 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 3: they need to answer themselves, still like just it wasn't 86 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 3: quite as much, the intensity, wasn't as much sharpness, wasn't 87 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 3: quite as a motivated unit, and so they spot the 88 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 3: Raiders a hefty lead and the Raiders put it away, 89 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: and you can kind of say the same thing for 90 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 3: Rams Niners. In my opinion, it's just felt like the 91 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 3: Niners walked into that game with a little bit of 92 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 3: an Axtra grind because they lose the NFT Championship game 93 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 3: last year. They're one and two facing a one in 94 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 3: three start, whereas the Rams were like, you know, we're 95 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 3: two and one, we're Super Bowl champions. 96 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 2: You know, we don't need as much urgency in this spot. 97 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 3: And I feel like really the discrepancy and just the 98 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 3: intensity and what they brought to the table ended up 99 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 3: mattering in those two games. And you're going to find 100 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 3: a lot of examples of that over this next week, 101 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: where situational kind of just speculating on some of the 102 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 3: qualitative parts of things ultimately are going to you know, 103 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 3: make for avoiding losers or finding winners. 104 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 4: A number of things to say here. One I gotta 105 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 4: say Tom congratulations on managing not to look smug while 106 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 4: also look keen smug over there because he's he's very happy. 107 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 4: He was on the show last week talking about how 108 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 4: guaranteed Stone Cold Lock the Raiders were going to beat 109 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 4: the Broncos, and I was a little dubious, and Tom 110 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 4: over there was absolutely correct. So shout out Tom Drue. 111 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 4: You you mentioned a couple of things that I have 112 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 4: I have questions about it. I want to get your 113 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 4: thoughts on So you mentioned earlier, you know, Eagles Cardinals 114 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 4: five and a half point favorites here, and so I'm 115 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 4: you know, I kind of won a question of like, 116 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 4: if we look at the preseason market on this, the 117 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 4: Cardinals were favored by two and a half points, So 118 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 4: talk about some market movement here, you know, massive, massive movement. 119 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 4: And so you know, one question in this is like 120 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 4: has this moved too far? And then this also gets 121 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 4: to the second question about, you know, like priors and 122 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 4: how strongly do you hold on to some of your priors. 123 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 4: So I've been very quick to adjust my priors for 124 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 4: the Eagles, Like I already liked the Eagles entering the season, 125 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 4: but I knew I would want to be quick to 126 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 4: adjust up or down based on what we saw, because 127 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 4: you know, a lot of sensitivity, wide range of outcomes 128 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 4: with that team, and so I would say for them, 129 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 4: I've adjusted very quickly upward. For the Cardinals, though, I've 130 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 4: actually been stronger on holding on to the prior of 131 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 4: them being a solidly mediocre team that still maybe has 132 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 4: a wide range of outcomes. But I don't know if 133 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 4: I've seen anything to this point to make me move 134 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 4: them drastically down. I still think of them as like 135 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 4: you are about average and do so. I guess multiple 136 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 4: questions here, But what is it that you see that 137 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 4: compels you to get off of your priors quickly versus 138 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 4: sticking more strongly to the priors. 139 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 3: I would say that each team is a snowflake. It 140 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 3: has a specific kind of way you need to approach it. 141 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 2: They're a little bit kind of unique. 142 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: And you know, certainly teams where you have a bona 143 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 3: fide quarterback that you have a relt because at the 144 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 3: end of any kind of a quantitative approach, your most 145 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,679 Speaker 3: significant contributing variable is going to be your quarterback rating, 146 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: even if you're doing a team rating, like the team 147 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 3: data you've got is because of the quarterback in an 148 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 3: offensive side. And so if you have a quarterback who 149 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 3: you have relatively high confidence in your rating on, like 150 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 3: a Malmes or a Josh Allen, like, they can put 151 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 3: up a couple of weeks of stinkers and you're still 152 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: going to be like, yeah, they're still good. Like this 153 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 3: was the chief story last year, right, you know they were. 154 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: They had some horrific performances in the first half of 155 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: the season, and you know, people that will get up 156 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 3: and be like, wow, are the cheaps even the top 157 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 3: ten team? Yeah, they have Pat Homes stop like just 158 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 3: like stop like they're going to be fine. Pat Mahomes, 159 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 3: Andy Reid Bona FIDE's long long track record, Like, don't 160 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: overthink this, and so I think experience is a huge 161 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 3: factor in hanging on to a prior. And for your 162 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: Cardinals example, because you have Kyler Murray and Cliff Kingsbury. 163 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 3: Now you may not like either of those players or 164 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 3: coaches just because their style doesn't you know, fit what 165 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 3: you would you know, would you know choose as your 166 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 3: first choice for how you want to build a roster 167 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 3: or staff a coaching staff. But the fact is, like 168 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: they have won games in the NFL as a pair. 169 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 2: They've done it. 170 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 3: Kyler Murray is a top ten quarterback. His prior is 171 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 3: relatively strong, like he could slip into the teams if 172 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 3: you know. But it's mostly almost everything we have on 173 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: Kyler Murray through this portion of the career tells you 174 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 3: that when healthy, he's a top ten guy. Like, don't 175 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 3: overthink it, and so I think holding onto a stronger 176 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 3: prior for you know, the offense for the Cardinals and 177 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 3: just kind of expecting that they ultimately get to where 178 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 3: you you know, you had kind of lined them early 179 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 3: in the season. That makes total sense to me. And 180 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 3: you have other teams though, where you have you know, 181 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 3: wide range of outcomes is the right way to say it. 182 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 3: Or a team like the Eagles, where you're like, are 183 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 3: they going to take a meaningful step forward? Is Jalen 184 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 3: Hurt's going to take a meaningful step forward? Team like 185 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 3: the Jaguars, what is Peterson plus Lawrence going to even 186 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 3: look like? 187 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: Right? 188 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 3: Like, you know those kind of questions. You have to 189 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: be much more nimble in terms of making big time adjustments. 190 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 3: And I think you know, just in general, looking for 191 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 3: synergy between coach and quarterback is the first most important 192 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 3: and then second looking at sort of ancillary pieces around 193 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 3: there are there other player level tweaks that are that 194 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 3: would kind of give you good reason to come off 195 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 3: your prior. This offensive line is playing way better. This 196 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 3: wide receiver took a huge step forward between year two 197 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 3: and year three. You know, right this this running game 198 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 3: all of a sudden isn't a problem. It's adding to 199 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 3: the offensive efficiency, right Like those types of smaller things, 200 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,199 Speaker 3: I think you know, you know, compel me to kind 201 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 3: of be a little bit more aggressive coming off of 202 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 3: a prior, Whereas you know, any coach in quarterback combo 203 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 3: that has a relatively long history, I'm going to stick 204 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 3: to my numbers on them for maybe the whole season. 205 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: Now. 206 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: One team that immediately comes to mind for me when 207 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: you mentioned priors quarterbacks, quarterbacks especially, and teams that, how 208 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: did you rate them previously? What is your experience with them? 209 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 1: And how long is how long are you going to 210 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 1: hold onto those priors before moving on from them. The 211 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: team that I feel like is all of those questions 212 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: rapped into one by now is none other than the 213 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks with Geno Montana Smith at quarterback right now 214 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: and the synergy that he seems to have with Pete Carroll, 215 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: who finally has the gunslinger aerial attack guy that he 216 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: always wanted so that he can actually blow out this 217 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 1: offense and be the passing attack he couldn't be with 218 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. It is absolutely wild. No one could have 219 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: predicted this. I was certainly all aboard the Seahawks or 220 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: trash train, and then hear their third and offensive DVOA 221 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: and they it works. It apparently is working for this 222 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: team right now. But then we also like we've seen 223 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: Geno Smith before and we've seen this Seahawks team before. 224 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: How soon do you move off these priors and say, hey, 225 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: maybe this team is actually pretty good because now they're 226 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: taking on the Saints, who are another team that you 227 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: very much still have to figure out. Because I feel 228 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: like everyone's priors are blown out of the water right now. 229 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 1: If you thought the Saints were good to start the season, 230 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: there are games you can point to and say you're right. 231 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: And if you thought they were bad, there are games 232 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: you can point to and say, hey, I was right. 233 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: And so these teams are coming together now. This line 234 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: has moved all over the place from opening four or 235 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: five to going to six to back to five. You 236 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: can find it at a bunch of different places around 237 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: town right now. Where are you going on both of them? 238 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: And would you even bet this game? 239 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 2: Yeah? 240 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 3: I'm ultimately going to have a big old bet on 241 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: the Seahawks this week based on the way the market 242 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 3: is moving. It's been one way action in Saints so far. 243 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 3: Best of luck to the Saints. Beckers. A lot of 244 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 3: red flags around that team and that organization and this 245 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 3: spot in particular, the Seahawks are the great great team 246 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 3: to bring up for specifically this type of discussion, because 247 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: four weeks is still a small sample size. But Geno 248 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 3: Smith is performing at a top five level Geno Smith period, 249 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 3: and you brought it up. There is there is synergy 250 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 3: with what Shane Waldron is trying to do in terms 251 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 3: of what he's asking, you know, what the menu of 252 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 3: options he is laying out there for Geno Smith. Gino 253 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 3: Smith is absolutely nailing it. And you can through four weeks, 254 00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 3: through small sample size, find plenty of examples of you know, 255 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 3: they haven't played anyone or like you know, like they 256 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 3: are like they look good because they their defenses, they 257 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 3: faced their X, Y and Z. Well can't really say 258 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 3: that with Seattle, Like they've gone up against the healthy 259 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 3: Broncos defense, who is good. They got you know, a 260 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 3: predictable kind of letdown against the Niners, which you know 261 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,959 Speaker 3: after a Monday night kind of you win your Super Bowl, 262 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 3: not a surprise, and then they were very very live 263 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 3: at home against the Falcons. And so the question really 264 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 3: came last week. You know, we were going to break 265 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 3: one way or the other on the Seahawks depending on 266 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 3: how they looked in that game because you know, there 267 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 3: were some pieces, some younger players that were really starting 268 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 3: to step up for the Lions defensively, and if the 269 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 3: Lions all of a sudden put it together a solid 270 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 3: defensive effort, it won that game on defense. Then you're like, okay, well, 271 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 3: Gino Smith is only a guy I could really trust 272 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 3: in Seattle, and this offense is still limited and same old, 273 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 3: same old. Pete Carroll's you know, tacking into his minus 274 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 3: TV tendencies all that stuff have held. Instead, it very 275 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 3: much tacked the other way, and it was like they 276 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 3: got whatever they wanted whenever they wanted it. It was 277 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 3: on the road. It was not a great spot for them, 278 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 3: And you know, I think that is enough of a 279 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 3: positive signal for me to at least take them much 280 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 3: more seriously than I did going into week four. And 281 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 3: it's a tough turnaround here because it's another road game, 282 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 3: right and in a completely neutral in a vacuum, like 283 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 3: oh yeah, going from Seattle to Detroit and then Seattle 284 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 3: to New Orleans. Those aren't like especially crazy trips, but 285 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 3: they're not trivial. And you know, two back to back 286 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 3: road trips like that early in the season can have 287 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 3: a negative impact on a team that's trying to come together. 288 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 3: But it's not like the Saints are in a good 289 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 3: spot themselves. They're coming off of a trip to London. 290 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 3: They spent the full week there in exactly the same 291 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 3: sort of mentality we were describing the Raiders effort and 292 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 3: the Niners effort. Feel like you got that from the 293 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 3: Saints too. Like the Saints left it all out there. 294 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 3: They got a ninety fifth percentile performance out of Andy Dalton, 295 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 3: Crystal Lave, you know, played his most complete game as 296 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 3: a pro through his young career. Not a lot of 297 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 3: other contributing factory had mark Ingram getting the ball and 298 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 3: you know, Latavious Murray and they were still like you know, 299 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 3: everybody was playing their heart out in London, and they 300 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 3: were still not you know, sixty yard field goal away 301 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 3: from you know, going to overtime. You know, the Vikings 302 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 3: I think gave you about a C C minus and 303 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 3: they still win by three and cover the early number there. 304 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 3: So to expect that the Saints can rally the troops 305 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 3: in the same sort of way and give you as 306 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 3: as solid a qualitative performance this week, I take exception 307 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 3: to the defense has talented players, but they're going to 308 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 3: be showing somewhere and tear after what they went through 309 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 3: this last week. And you know, the travel is non 310 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 3: trivial surely, although going from east to west is somewhat 311 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 3: less just less troublesome in terms of body effects. So 312 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 3: maybe ultimately they're fine and this is a competitive game. 313 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 3: But if this is, you know, this is trended towards 314 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 3: six all week. I think some of the market makers 315 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 3: are still a five and a half ish, but I'm 316 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 3: gonna let this find its level here, hopefully at six, 317 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 3: and I think I'm going to come in on the 318 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 3: Seahawks at that point. 319 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: Guys, football season is here, and if you want to 320 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: get in on the action, we recommend heading on over 321 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: to our friends at bet mgm.

Now back to the show. 331 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 2: A follow up on this. 332 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 4: So it's it's always interesting to see where the market 333 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 4: movement is from preseason to now. It's also interesting, maybe 334 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 4: informative to see where there isn't really any movement. And 335 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 4: we saw this line at five and a half in 336 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 4: the preseason and it's still, you know, right around five 337 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 4: and a half, you know, starting to move towards six ish, 338 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 4: but really five and a half. And so you think about, 339 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 4: as you mentioned, the way it feels that so much 340 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 4: has changed and how we perceive these teams from then 341 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 4: to now, and yet the market really hasn't changed, and 342 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 4: so why, like why do you think that is? I mean, 343 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 4: I'm just kind of looking at this and thinking that, 344 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 4: you know, maybe there's not that much of a move 345 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 4: from Jameis Winston to Andy Dalton. Maybe there's more volatility 346 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 4: with Winston, but maybe there's this idea that Dalton he 347 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 4: looked decent in London. He gives you a kind of 348 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 4: higher floor, like he maybe have a better sense week 349 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 4: to week of what you're getting out of Andy Dalton 350 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 4: than Jameis Winston. Maybe that's right, maybe that's wrong. I 351 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 4: don't know, but that might be something that is impacting 352 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 4: the market here. And then even as good as Seattle 353 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 4: has looked on offense, their defense, especially their past defense, 354 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 4: is still I mean, it's basically dead last in league. 355 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 4: If it's not last, it's bottom three for sure. And 356 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 4: so I'm just wondering, why is it that you think 357 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 4: even though it feels like these teams are different than 358 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 4: they were a month ago or perception of them, but 359 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 4: the number still right where it was. 360 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, the market is propping this up to a degree 361 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 3: because I think there were at least I'm trying to 362 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 3: read between the lines here a little bit. 363 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: There was a very very. 364 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: Non trivial professional move on Seattle last week, and some 365 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 3: people interpreted that as you know, mostly being cool on 366 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 3: the Lions line's dealing with some pretty important injuries, and 367 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 3: people are like, oh wow, holy holy smokes, we get 368 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,119 Speaker 3: to sell on the Lions as six point favorites, Like 369 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 3: this is too good to be true. I don't care 370 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 3: if it's Seahawks. And so there was a pretty one 371 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 3: way action there, uh, in favor of Seattle. Now those 372 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 3: folks coming back right back to the window and trying 373 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 3: to sell high on Seattle. That feels like what's going 374 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 3: on right now? Why this has been you know, largely 375 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 3: Saints support. There may be a little bit people thinking 376 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 3: Saints are looking at this like their season is on 377 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 3: the line and they're going to give one hundred percent. 378 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 3: But like I said, I think they left a lot 379 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 3: on the field in that London game, So this could 380 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 3: be a little bit of you know, even more of 381 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 3: a letdown, you know, for that for that matter, and 382 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 3: you know there is enough, There was enough of a 383 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 3: there was a strong enough prior that Gino Smith was 384 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 3: not good and that a top five rating is completely 385 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 3: unsustainable that people are going to bet against that just 386 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 3: because they're like regression is coming. May not be this week, 387 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 3: may not be next week, but I'm gonna be there 388 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 3: and I'm gonna bet on it and I'm gonna win 389 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 3: when it comes. And you know, he's going up against 390 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 3: a tougher defense in terms of past defense this week 391 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 3: than he did last week. And the way I kind 392 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 3: of read this is I think people are trying to 393 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 3: sell high a little bit on Seattle, sell high on 394 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 3: Gino Smith, and they're doing it because they believe in 395 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 3: the Saints' pass defense. 396 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: But I don't know. 397 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 3: I think Seattle matches up pretty well. I think their 398 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 3: offensive line is better than people give them credit for. 399 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 3: But I know their wide receiver room is you know, 400 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 3: top half of the NFL, if not top ten. So 401 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 3: this is I don't see the type of success that 402 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 3: they've had being somewhat small, you know, short, short order like, 403 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 3: I don't think it's only going to work against the 404 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 3: Detroit Lions of the world. That should very well work 405 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 3: against this Saints defense. And you know, at the same time, 406 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 3: if this was under a field goal, I'm staying well 407 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 3: away from it. But it's out at six. So there's 408 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 3: not a ton of value on the board this week. 409 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 3: That one, though, it does look like a good bed 410 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 3: for me in my mind, at least looking at Seattle. 411 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: Now, how about another game here involving a couple of 412 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: really volatile quarterback situations. Maybe not so much volatile on 413 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,959 Speaker 1: the one side, but the quarterback himself is pretty volatile. 414 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: The Jets and the Dolphins this week, Zach Wilson, it 415 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: was very up and down. He looked pretty good on 416 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: the first drive, then not so good for most of 417 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: that game and then flawless in the fourth quarter. And 418 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: then on the other side again, you were also playing 419 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: the Steelers who didn't have TJ. 420 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 2: Watt. 421 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: But on the other side, you've got the Dolphins. Now 422 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: it's going to be Teddy Bridgewater due to the scrambled 423 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: eggs of Tuatagovailoa right now, and you've got the extra 424 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: rest here, you've got the Jets at home. What do 425 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: you think about these two quarterback situations, because I feel 426 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: like Miami's offense is still going to be able to 427 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: make those plays with Teddy Bridgewater, maybe not to the 428 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: same level. But what would your reed be on this 429 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: game that's at three and a half and really has 430 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,879 Speaker 1: not moved from right around that three to three and 431 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: a two and a half in some places when it opened. 432 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 3: But still, yeah, I think the Dolphins are pretty clearly 433 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 3: the right side here. This is entirely a matchup based 434 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 3: handicap for me, more so than even really trying to 435 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 3: nail down what you have at quarterback, I guess, although 436 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 3: I will qualify that you know, the skill position players 437 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 3: and the quality of offensive line play from Miami to 438 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 3: this point in the season should make the transition from 439 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 3: to Teddy pretty seamless, particularly with ten days to prepare 440 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 3: for this, they made the decision early. We're going with 441 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 3: Teddy week five. Mike McDaniel has done nothing but kind 442 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 3: of confirmed the high end of his preseason prior in 443 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 3: terms of just the concepts he's bringing. Certainly, maybe not 444 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 3: other aspects of being a head coach, but in terms 445 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 3: of the offensive vision and game planning, it's been superlative. 446 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 3: And they have played some tough teams and they've done well, 447 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 3: so a lot of respect to the Dolphins, you know, overall. 448 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 3: You know that the major angle betting against the Dolphins 449 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 3: last week was expecting their defense to be gassed after 450 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,239 Speaker 3: such a hillacious Week three, and I think ultimately that 451 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 3: didn't maybe matter in the late stages of that game. 452 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 3: But now with ten days to get right and the 453 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 3: fact that they have gone against Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen 454 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 3: two and Teddy and Tyreek Hill like, they have faced 455 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 3: some monsters on offense, and now they get to go 456 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 3: against the Jets. Their scheming and what they want to do, 457 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 3: particularly with the kind of their up ticket you know, 458 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 3: an upticket man coverage, a little bit of emphasis on 459 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 3: blitzing to generate pressure. With the depleted a line for 460 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 3: the Jets, and with the young quarterback and Zach Wilson, 461 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 3: who struggled mightily against Man both last season and so 462 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 3: far what we've seen from him this year, this looks 463 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 3: like the perfect recipe for like a twenty seven to three, 464 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 3: twenty seven to ten kind of win. I don't think 465 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 3: I can get anywhere close to a fair price of 466 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 3: three here, even though Miami is on the road. The 467 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 3: Dolphins and the Dolphins and the Ravens not a ton 468 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 3: of separation in my mind. The Dolphins and the Bengals 469 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 3: not a ton of separation in my mind. The Bengals 470 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 3: were six point favorites on the road of the Jets. 471 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: The Ravens were six point favorites on the road against 472 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 3: the Jets. Why in the world aren't the Dolphins. 473 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: I also have a flawless betting system to use here 474 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: that helps you determine these games. 475 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 2: It's very simple. 476 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: No good things can happen to the Jets twice in 477 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: a row, So anytime you have the chance to bet 478 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 1: against that, always count on it. Viauz the Jets will 479 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: manage to take any momentum you think they have and 480 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 1: ruin it. So I'm with you on that, Matt. 481 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 2: What do you think? 482 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, your betting system flawless obviously, And you know, I 483 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 4: have a question for Drew here on a couple of 484 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 4: things I want in this game specifically, but then two 485 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 4: larger picture thinking about bets that are around the key 486 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 4: number of three. 487 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 2: So this game, I have it. 488 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 4: I have it close to three, but that's also taking 489 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 4: into a count what I think might be too much 490 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 4: of a deduction from Teddy Bridgewater, from Tua to Teddy Bridgewater, 491 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 4: And so I'm leaning that direction of going towards Miami. 492 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 4: And so one, like, what do you think the drop 493 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 4: off is if there is any drop off from TUA 494 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 4: to Teddy? And then two, when you are around the 495 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,479 Speaker 4: key number three, how much of an edge do you 496 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,959 Speaker 4: have to see in your number in order for something 497 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 4: to be betable for you? So you know, like, if 498 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 4: it's the difference between like four and four and a half, 499 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 4: like that might not be that big. If it's the 500 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 4: difference between three and three and a half like that 501 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 4: might be big enough for someone to bet. Just kind 502 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 4: of depending on the range that you normally see in 503 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 4: your numbers. So how do you navigate around the key 504 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 4: number three. 505 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 2: I agree with you. 506 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 3: In general, the market is making too much of the 507 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 3: downgrade from Tua to Teddy that I'm clearly on record there. 508 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 2: I agree with you. 509 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 3: Navigating three is the that's the name of the game. 510 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 3: If you're to bet NFL week by week, you are 511 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 3: going to be faced with this decision fifty times this season, 512 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 3: and you need to make your correct decision in twenty 513 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 3: eight of those fifty. The general rule of thumb, if 514 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 3: you're coming up with the number quantitatively is you lay 515 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 3: the three. 516 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: If you have a. 517 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 3: Long tail to the favorite, you take the three. If 518 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 3: you have your most two most common expectations are home 519 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 3: or dog. You know, a favorite or dog winning by three, 520 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 3: right like, there's fundamentally, if you have two teams of 521 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 3: relative equal strength, it's taking place in the dogs the stadium. 522 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 3: Then presumably the most common outcome is the favorite winning 523 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 3: by three. Second most common would be the dog winning 524 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 3: by three. And if your numbers back that up. If 525 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 3: you're kind of simulating how you think a game will 526 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 3: go and you're seeing that, then taking the plus three 527 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 3: or you know, taking them oneyline completely reasonable approaches a 528 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 3: game like this. I do see a long tail to 529 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 3: the Dolphins winning with margin, and a ton of that 530 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 3: kind of comes down to game state. Right, a three 531 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 3: point game, two relatively evenly matched teams, you're expecting to 532 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 3: be kind of in the balance all game trading scores. Right, 533 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 3: maybe one team is coming back, but for the most part, 534 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 3: it's going to be, you know, pretty neutral game state 535 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 3: the whole way. And in that situation, taking the dog 536 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 3: plus three, if you think that's how it goes, is 537 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 3: slam dunk. I think this is much more likely to 538 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 3: play to Dolphins gaining a lead, and I say long 539 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 3: tail to the Dolphins winning by margin because basically, in 540 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 3: any game state where you take the Jets rushing attack 541 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 3: out of it and this becomes now, you know, not 542 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 3: unlike last week where he was successful, but this becomes 543 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 3: Zach Wilson, you must now operate in comeback mode in 544 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,719 Speaker 3: must pass situations. I find that the Dolphins defense has 545 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 3: a huge advantage in that sort of setup. Right, So basically, 546 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 3: any type of game state where we get to Dolphins 547 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 3: are up by two scores in the second half of 548 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 3: this game, I'm feeling very very good holding a three 549 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 3: or even a three and a half really, because I 550 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 3: think you're heading towards that comfortable margin victory the the 551 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 3: you know, the a team with a more experienced quarterback, 552 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 3: with you know, a better offensive line, a better run defense. 553 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 3: Now now I'm thinking, okay, comeback mode is real. This 554 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 3: team's going to be able to come in the back door. 555 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 3: They're going to be able to close this margin, and 556 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 3: I think that wipes out some of the long tail 557 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 3: favorite winning by margin. So for me, a lot of 558 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 3: kind of choosing what to do around three, beyond just price, 559 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 3: which is obviously kind of number one, is sort of 560 00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 3: trying to facilitate what does the distribution outcomes look like? 561 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 3: Is there a tail either way? Or are we talking 562 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 3: about a true fifty to fifty type of game where 563 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 3: it makes sense to just kind of grab some of 564 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 3: the value of the second most likely outcome being dog 565 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 3: wins by three. 566 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: Now talking about another big quarterback disparity here, the cheat 567 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: not the Chiefs. The Buccaneers this week are taken on 568 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: the Falcons that numbers currently hanging around nine. And would 569 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: you say, how would you navigate something like that kind 570 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: of a large spread, especially with Tampa coming off a 571 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: loss right now, And also, I don't know, maybe the 572 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: recent Tom Brady news that we've heard today playing a 573 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: potential factor. 574 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 3: I think that news is old news from everything that 575 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 3: I kind of read between the lines there. You know, 576 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 3: we have friends in Costa Rica who are like, that's 577 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 3: a long, long, long story. But I think that this 578 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 3: has been in the works for quite a while, so 579 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 3: would be surprised if Tom Brady's personal life impacts his 580 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 3: performance on Sunday. But the matchup against the Falcons is 581 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 3: an interesting one for a lot of reasons because the 582 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 3: Falcons offense is very unique and they're now matching up 583 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 3: against a Tampa defense that is ninety eight percentile in 584 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 3: the NFL, if not ninety ninth, And really only have 585 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 3: issues with them going up against what they went up 586 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 3: against on Sunday, which was an elite quarterback and on 587 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 3: a good day. Right, there's a tendency for Todd Bowles 588 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 3: to tack into being very aggressive at all costs, and 589 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 3: if he's not getting home, if he's not affecting the 590 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 3: quarterback's performance by the pressure he's generating by being aggressive, 591 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 3: then they can get carved. I would expect that Mariota 592 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 3: carving them is low likelihood, in which case, basically the 593 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 3: way that their roster defensively should keep the Falcons into 594 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 3: a relatively low total. Falcons run the ball a heck 595 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 3: of a lot. They're you know, they're a little bit 596 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 3: on the slower side in terms of team. They're now 597 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 3: without Corderyl Patterson, who has been sort of one of 598 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 3: their surprise positives for the whole season. Don't know what 599 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 3: they're doing with London and Pits in terms of deployment 600 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 3: in the passing game, and so all of a sudden, 601 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 3: this first glance is, how are the Falcons going to score? 602 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 3: The flip side of the coin. Tampa is getting healthier, surely, 603 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 3: but they still have big issues with that offensive line. 604 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 3: Offensive line is getting beat regularly. And you know, so 605 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 3: for those you know, for anything material to develop down 606 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 3: the field, or for anything to get going on the ground, 607 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 3: you're asking for a huge improvement in a week, in 608 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,239 Speaker 3: a one week sample. So you know, I think in 609 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 3: a vacuum, this under looks extremely appealing. Actually, I'm sorry 610 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 3: I played this under. 611 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 2: Like under forty eight here a lot. 612 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 3: I don't think I could get involved with laying the 613 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 3: points because it's just an awful lot of points. The 614 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 3: way you're going to need some turnovers, You're going to 615 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 3: need something to spark offensively for Tampa, and I think 616 00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 3: you know, both offensively and defensively. Is the market correctly 617 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 3: rating the Falcons. I'd say they're a little light on both, 618 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 3: so not a unit that I'm like dying to go 619 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 3: to war with, surely, But right now market has the 620 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 3: Falcons at about nineteenth offensively on its seventeenth Falcons thirtieth defensively, 621 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 3: I'm about twenty sixth, so a little bit higher on 622 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 3: the Falcons than the market, and I think it's still 623 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 3: way too early to keep the Buccaneers offense in some sort. 624 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 2: Of rarefied air where they're going to get to thirty points. 625 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 3: In this week. 626 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: Guys, real quick, I want to talk to you about Sleeper. 627 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: Sleeper is the fastest growing fantasy platform today with millions 628 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: of players.

But 657 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 1: that's indeed what we got and made. I'm sure plenty 658 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: of survivor contestants have to sweat it out to the 659 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: bitter end. What is the deal with this Packers team? 660 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 3: To me? 661 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 1: I think that it's pretty clear that no DeVante Adams 662 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: means this offense is a lot less dynamic. I think 663 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: that you have a chance for that to improve as 664 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 1: the season goes on. Romeo Dobbs is already starting to 665 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: come into his own as a potential target for Aaron Rodgers. 666 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: But they can't put up the points the same way 667 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: that they could against some of these better offenses in 668 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 1: previous years, and I'm worried about what that's going to 669 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: mean for them when it comes time to play a Chiefs, 670 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 1: to play a Tampa, to play even a Rams on 671 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: some days where you're going to get into a shootout 672 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: and you need to be able to fire back. I'm 673 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: more worried about that than I've been in the past 674 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: with the Packers. Are you higher or lower on them 675 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,800 Speaker 1: right now? It's another large spread this week nine and 676 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,480 Speaker 1: a half with the Giants. But you want to talk 677 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: about uncertainty, at quarterback. We don't know who's going to 678 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: be playing in that game. I'm here for Saquon in 679 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: the wildcatle game. 680 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 3: That would be fun. I don't think they're going to 681 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 3: do it. I think they're going to try to limited 682 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones out there, so take away his mobility and 683 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 3: best of luck to him. Sick one Barklay matches up 684 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 3: well against the Packers defense. This Packers defense is more 685 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 3: difficult for me to figure out than their offense. I 686 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 3: think their offense is solved. Aaron Rodgers is good enough 687 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 3: to win a close game. We all know that he's 688 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 3: good enough to kind of make the plays that need 689 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 3: to be made in a game winning drive situation, particularly 690 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 3: if he's going up against a defense that's you know, 691 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,280 Speaker 3: average or a little even a little better than average, 692 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,040 Speaker 3: Like that's you know, he's experienced, he's got the tools 693 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 3: in his toolbox. Surely he does not have a ton 694 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 3: of chemistry or trust in the wide receiver group that's 695 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 3: out there not taking chances, certainly not early in the game. Right, 696 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 3: He's running a lot of vanilla stuff. But I think 697 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 3: in the scripted portion, particularly like what we saw against Tampa, 698 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 3: he looked great and I think in those spots where 699 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,879 Speaker 3: he knows what everybody's going to be doing because they've 700 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 3: gone through it ten times, and you know, when they're 701 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 3: installing the plays and everybody's kind of doing their job 702 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 3: correctly and you know, catching the balls that are thrown, 703 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 3: then they look functional. And I would expect that you 704 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 3: see generally good scripted portion of an offense from the 705 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 3: Packers as we continue to matriculate through the season. But 706 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 3: when the going gets tough and they face teams that 707 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,320 Speaker 3: are score an answer or putting pressure on them scoreboard wise, 708 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 3: they are going to look bad. And I think that's 709 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 3: basically what you saw in the Vikings game. I don't 710 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 3: think I don't think that's the only time you're going 711 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,040 Speaker 3: to see that this year. There'll be other examples where 712 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,960 Speaker 3: you're like, oh man, where, oh yeah, this is what 713 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 3: happened when they were playing the Vikings like a team 714 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 3: all of a sudden, like ball bounces against them and 715 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 3: they're down for team. 716 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 2: What do they do? 717 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 3: You know that may be game over for them. So 718 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 3: it's it's your general thesis, great reason not to get 719 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 3: involved in any kind of Packers futures. They had trouble 720 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 3: scoring answering with the elite teams, even with Devonte Adams. 721 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 3: So now they're gonna all of a sudden find just 722 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 3: awesome chemistry and do it without them. It seems like 723 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 3: they want to be a more balanced team that runs 724 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 3: pretty aggressively with Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon. 725 00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 2: Not not my. 726 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 3: Preferred way to watch football, But if that's what they 727 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,760 Speaker 3: want to do and they can actually get to being 728 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 3: good and efficient doing that, then more power to them. 729 00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 3: But yeah, this is a weird offense, but kind of 730 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:52,200 Speaker 3: again like super soft defense, teams are going to run 731 00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 3: on these guys. If the Giants and Sakuon are kind 732 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 3: of having a good day and they're getting the push 733 00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,520 Speaker 3: in the run game, they're going to make this an 734 00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 3: interesting one for sure. 735 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 4: I have a follow up on specifically this defense, and 736 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 4: so I think, and you mentioned this defense kind of 737 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 4: hard to figure out the Packers. I think they're the 738 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 4: kind of team that will get better as the season 739 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 4: goes along. I think probably both sides of the ball. 740 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 4: As you know, Aaron Rodgers has more of a connection 741 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 4: with the wide receivers, and you know there are some 742 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 4: important rookies in that defensive unit, and you know presumably 743 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 4: as they get more action, that unit coalesces and they 744 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 4: will improve there. But I mean, I've got to say 745 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 4: I thought this was going to be very good defense. 746 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 4: They are number thirty two and Dvoa allowed to number 747 00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:44,960 Speaker 4: one wide receivers. That's concerning when jay R Alexander feels 748 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 4: like the kind of guy who could shut down a 749 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 4: number one wide receiver. But we saw what Justin Jefferson 750 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 4: did to them in week one when they didn't really 751 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 4: let Alexander man him up, and then Alexander now is 752 00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 4: dealing with injury issues, so he's not at his best. 753 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 4: So you know, if you can't stop the opposing team's 754 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 4: number one wide receiver, that seems like a problem, especially 755 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 4: when you're also number thirty two in rush success rate 756 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,399 Speaker 4: on the defensive side of the ball. So, I mean, 757 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,919 Speaker 4: I feel like this Packers team will be good at 758 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 4: some point this season, Like you can see the path 759 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 4: to how they improve, and they have the players, But 760 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm there yet. I mean, where 761 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:27,719 Speaker 4: what do you make of this defense and do you 762 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 4: think it actually will improve as this team? Do you 763 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 4: think this team will improve? 764 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 2: I am disappointed by the defense so far. 765 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 3: So some teams, you come in with high expectations and 766 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,439 Speaker 3: you downgrade them back four weeks. That's kind of where 767 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,720 Speaker 3: I am with these guys. Some of it is injury related, 768 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,240 Speaker 3: as you mentioned. Some of it is just the scheme 769 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 3: itself has not the you know, the scheme itself was 770 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 3: going to rely on a lot of younger players taking 771 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 3: meaningful steps forwardarticularly in the run game. 772 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 2: Run fit. 773 00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 3: It's part of their scheme and it just hasn't happened. 774 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,439 Speaker 3: The questions about their covering wide receiver ones is very 775 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,560 Speaker 3: real and I don't think it gets solved anytime soon. 776 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 3: They play a lot of outdoor games. Obviously they played 777 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 3: cold Weather, have a decent home field advantage. So if 778 00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 3: I was going to lay Packers, I'm probably waiting until 779 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 3: you know, November, December, January to do it, and I'm 780 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,000 Speaker 3: probably only doing it in Lambeau. And some of that 781 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 3: is even even that, like if they face the wrong 782 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 3: team in that stretch who's out physicaling them and is 783 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 3: getting whatever they want in the run game, then they 784 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 3: could lose some of those I am right now kind 785 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,960 Speaker 3: of seeing the Packers as the number two in the 786 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,320 Speaker 3: NFC North. I think the schedule is so much easier 787 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 3: for the Vikings than they already have the one head 788 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 3: to head victory that they ought to be favored in 789 00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:54,760 Speaker 3: that division. 790 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 2: And then you know, I. 791 00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 3: Think we have in the same way that you kind 792 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 3: of Packers will get better over the balance of this season. 793 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 3: I agree they ought to, but I think the Vikings 794 00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,720 Speaker 3: will too. Kevin O'Connell gets more comfortable with the system 795 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 3: and the players that he's got and what Kirk Cousins 796 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 3: Cannon can't do, that offense should get more efficient, and 797 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 3: you know, I think Packers are probably ought to be 798 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 3: priced like they're playing for a wild card spot, but 799 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,920 Speaker 3: the NFC is so weak then they probably will get one. 800 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 3: So at that point they go on the road, they 801 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:33,839 Speaker 3: face the likes of the Bucks and Eagles and Niners 802 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 3: on the road in January, then they're probably wouldn't have 803 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:37,439 Speaker 3: done in my mind. 804 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,640 Speaker 4: All right, on one question here before we get to 805 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,879 Speaker 4: Thursday night football. So final question when thinking about sort 806 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 4: of how how teams have changed in our estimations of 807 00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 4: them since the season started Jacksonville, I will call anyone 808 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,879 Speaker 4: a liar who doesn't say that that is the team 809 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 4: that they have adjusted the most in their power ratings 810 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 4: since the season started, you know, like like no way 811 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 4: that someone was like, oh yeah, Jacksonville. I assumed that 812 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 4: they were going to be what we've seen so far. 813 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,400 Speaker 4: Like I thought that they were going to be a 814 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,399 Speaker 4: team that improved but was still probably bottom five. And 815 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 4: I mean they at this point, I think are If 816 00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 4: they're not average in your rankings, you know, they're very 817 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,799 Speaker 4: close to it. I was really impressed by how they 818 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 4: started out that game against the Eagles last week, you know, 819 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,360 Speaker 4: like up by two touchdowns, and I was just thinking like, 820 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 4: oh man, like this team actually might be for real 821 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 4: and then reality set in. But you know, Trevor Lawrence 822 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 4: is looking like a top ten quarterback with what we've 823 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 4: seen so far. He has a competent head coach, like, 824 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 4: at a minimum, a competent head coach. That defensive line 825 00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:52,359 Speaker 4: has I think really flashed. They've been strong against the run. 826 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,720 Speaker 4: It's not like the most important thing for a defense, 827 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 4: but it's it's something. I'm just kind of impressed by 828 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,919 Speaker 4: the infusion of talent that they've had there and then 829 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 4: how they how quickly they have coalesced that into a 830 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:12,359 Speaker 4: functional organization. What do you think the actual ceiling is 831 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:14,239 Speaker 4: for this team? 832 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:18,439 Speaker 3: You're asking the wrong person because I am wearing keal 833 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 3: colored glasses. I bet Jaguars to win the Super Bowl 834 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,760 Speaker 3: at one hundred and fifty five to one for the season. 835 00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,280 Speaker 3: I squinted real hard, and I was like, guys. 836 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:30,759 Speaker 2: Look kind of like the Bengals last year. 837 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,839 Speaker 3: They're in a winnable division. They have a second year 838 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,919 Speaker 3: quarterback who could take a meaningful step forward. They've made 839 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,479 Speaker 3: an upgrade a head coach more than the Bengals, did, 840 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 3: you know. And so the Bengals didn't make an upgrade 841 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,880 Speaker 3: at all, but their coach just kind of coached a 842 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:49,840 Speaker 3: better season. And yeah, so I was definitely, you know, 843 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 3: I'm I'm bullish Jags at being real, and you know, 844 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,399 Speaker 3: I was watching that Eagles game with the same sort 845 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 3: of mindset of these guys are for real. They're going 846 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 3: to win this game. They're going to be three to one, 847 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,280 Speaker 3: and people are going to have to start paying attention 848 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 3: to them. And then the wheels fell off with all 849 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,360 Speaker 3: the fumbles because of the conditions and because the offensive 850 00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 3: line still has some room to grow. When they go 851 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,399 Speaker 3: up against real deal big boys on the d line 852 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 3: on the other side of the football, you probably need 853 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,120 Speaker 3: to have a little bit of a lower ceiling for 854 00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,959 Speaker 3: the Jags on any given day. But I do think 855 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 3: that there are plenty of positive signs to take away 856 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:32,400 Speaker 3: from the first four weeks of the season that this 857 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 3: team is going to ultimately be in the playoff picture 858 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,879 Speaker 3: in the AFC this year. I don't know that there's 859 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,959 Speaker 3: anyone else in the AFC that really fits the same 860 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,359 Speaker 3: mold as who the Eagles are right now that would 861 00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,359 Speaker 3: give them a tough time in the playoffs. Though a 862 00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 3: lot of later kind of faster offense, you know, oriented 863 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,920 Speaker 3: teams in the AFC broadly, not a lot of you know, 864 00:44:54,080 --> 00:45:00,040 Speaker 3: just trench warfare maulers. So they're maybe still live to 865 00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 3: get to the super Bowl. It's not crazy. We know, 866 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 3: Lawrence has you know, the pedigree guy won a national 867 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:08,640 Speaker 3: championship going now, well, it'd be a very good team 868 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:14,600 Speaker 3: in doing so. And I think, you know, overall, they've 869 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:19,960 Speaker 3: ovoided the early season injury curse, which not a lot 870 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 3: of other teams can say, so that's positive for them. 871 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 3: Their schedule is pretty easy because they're in the ANFC South, 872 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:32,720 Speaker 3: of course, and I think, again, I'm team Teel here, 873 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 3: so take this with a grain of salt, But even 874 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 3: after losing to the Eagles and not even covering the 875 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,359 Speaker 3: number I had, I was like. 876 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:43,439 Speaker 2: That was a good thing. That was good. 877 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 3: Like if they got you know, if they got wins 878 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 3: against the Charges and the Eagles back to back, real 879 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 3: young team like that, they start. 880 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 2: Reading their own clippings, they lose a little bit of focus. 881 00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:53,960 Speaker 3: Maybe, you know, the season gets they lose to the 882 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 3: Texans the next week and things get derailed. But you know, 883 00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 3: I think a tough, hard fought loss like that and 884 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 3: a lot of learning, you know, a lot of lessons 885 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,040 Speaker 3: they can take away from that and take into this 886 00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 3: middle portion of the season is ultimately going to be 887 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 3: a good thing. And I would expect that great things 888 00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 3: will come from this Peterson Lawrence marriage. Just knowing that 889 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,239 Speaker 3: Peterson has done it before with less and the fact 890 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 3: that Lawrence was by everyone who has an opinion that matters. 891 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 3: I can't miss Prospect so excited for what they're building 892 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:27,359 Speaker 3: downe there. 893 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:27,800 Speaker 2: For sure. 894 00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,480 Speaker 1: I really want to see a Josh Allen Josh Allen 895 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,759 Speaker 1: MVP Defensive Player of the Year quickly. Season's That's what 896 00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:34,360 Speaker 1: I'm waking for. 897 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 2: That'd be cool, pretty awesome. 898 00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 1: I'm even here sitting now like looking at the Nasty 899 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,400 Speaker 1: Survivor slate for this week, going what else am I 900 00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,960 Speaker 1: going to use Jacksonville with this spot? Like this feels 901 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:45,879 Speaker 1: like the spot for them. 902 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:48,720 Speaker 2: It's not crazy. 903 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,839 Speaker 3: I haven't gotten involved betting wise in this market yet, 904 00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 3: but I see it's ticked from seven to seven and 905 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,480 Speaker 3: a half or juicy seven, I guess. 906 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:01,799 Speaker 2: Not. 907 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, not ready to say to anything positive about the 908 00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 3: Texans so far. Davis Mills is an absolute absolutely over 909 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,360 Speaker 3: his head and he's getting no help. 910 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:13,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 911 00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 3: I think the Texans are getting what they want out 912 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 3: of this season, which is a chance to evaluate all 913 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 3: of the very young, inexperienced players on their roster. And 914 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 3: I think they know they have some guys. Damian Pearce 915 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,239 Speaker 3: is the guy you want to you want to keep 916 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 3: around and give a healthy load to, you know. Jalen 917 00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,439 Speaker 3: Petrie is a guy that you know you can build 918 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,920 Speaker 3: a defense round. Surely Stingley looks good, but other than that, 919 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:46,120 Speaker 3: this is a very a talent a team devoid of talent, 920 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,680 Speaker 3: and jack should beat them on that alone. 921 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 1: We will see. It's going to be interesting. But let's 922 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,480 Speaker 1: focus on one more game here before we let you go. 923 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,480 Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football coming up this week. The Indianapolis Colts 924 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 1: dealing with a lot right now. The the authorities are 925 00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,920 Speaker 1: investigating them for elder abuse due to their treatment of 926 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:07,840 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan as their quarterback. 927 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:08,440 Speaker 2: Every week right now. 928 00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 1: But they head into Denver now is three point dogs. 929 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 1: No Jonathan Taylor. As much as I think Denver is 930 00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 1: not good, and you've got a quarterback who possibly everybody 931 00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:26,239 Speaker 1: on his team hates, and honestly, oh man, I'm still 932 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:30,600 Speaker 1: having nightmares over that sandwich commercial. But Russell Wilson did 933 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 1: not look bad against the Raiders. That was definitely the 934 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,160 Speaker 1: best game that he's had so far this season. And 935 00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,080 Speaker 1: everybody was ready to chuck Nathaniel Hackett overboard after the 936 00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:42,160 Speaker 1: first two games, and I don't know, maybe he's settling 937 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,160 Speaker 1: into the role a little more. I'm not about to 938 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 1: go out there and say we got the next Bill 939 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,759 Speaker 1: Belichick on our hands, but maybe this Denver team is 940 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:52,160 Speaker 1: now finally starting to settle down after a couple of weeks. 941 00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: It is a new quarterback, new offense, new coach. Entirely, 942 00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,280 Speaker 1: where are you going in this one? Three honestly doesn't 943 00:48:58,280 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 1: feel like enough to me. 944 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 3: I thought you were going to make a joke off 945 00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 3: off the top about Matt Ryan was being investigated for 946 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,879 Speaker 3: stealing sixty million dollars from the Colts between this year 947 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 3: and the. 948 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,839 Speaker 1: Next year, earning every penny contract. 949 00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 3: This is, this has gone sideways, very very Both of 950 00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,800 Speaker 3: these experience has gone so was very quickly. And I think, 951 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 3: you know, back to sort of the priors discussion, a 952 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,520 Speaker 3: lot of folks in the bedding community, who I have 953 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,480 Speaker 3: tons of respect for because they have long term winning 954 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 3: records in the NFL, were high on the Colts and 955 00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:38,040 Speaker 3: or high on the Broncos or both, and I was 956 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,160 Speaker 3: hesitant to put them in sort of the rare air 957 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:45,399 Speaker 3: of the AFC, just because it takes time, teams time 958 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,080 Speaker 3: to kind of come together, the synergy, the growth, the company, know, 959 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:55,759 Speaker 3: the you know, it's the Brady going to Tampa and 960 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,080 Speaker 3: having success in year one is the exception, not the 961 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,919 Speaker 3: role in these types of late quarter back arcs where 962 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,799 Speaker 3: you really, you know, you change a team and I 963 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 3: don't hold either Matt Ryan or Russell Wilson in the 964 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 3: same conversation as Brady, So it's easy to kind of 965 00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 3: be a little skeptical about how these were going to 966 00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,759 Speaker 3: work in year one. And to this point, the re 967 00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 3: terms have been poor I think in terms of what 968 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:20,240 Speaker 3: was expected in both cases, and some of the blame 969 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 3: I think goes to the coaching staff, general manager, and 970 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:30,319 Speaker 3: the quarterback in both for both sides. Here, Indianapolis is 971 00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:34,160 Speaker 3: the tougher question to answer about whether this is fixable, 972 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,839 Speaker 3: because what used to be the strength and the core 973 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,680 Speaker 3: of this team in their offensive line is playing very 974 00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 3: poorly right now. And if you're not even getting enough 975 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,440 Speaker 3: push to get a complimentary run game to go along 976 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,719 Speaker 3: with a quarterback who's aged, then you are all of 977 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 3: a sudden a really inefficient offense. And that's their reality 978 00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 3: through four weeks. And even all of that said, there 979 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,239 Speaker 3: were moments against the Titans in that late in that 980 00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:07,920 Speaker 3: first half where I was like, okay, starting to see 981 00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 3: some of the pieces come together about coaching, quarterback and 982 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,000 Speaker 3: what they ought to be doing right now. It didn't 983 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 3: ultimately land in a win, So you know, congratulations on 984 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 3: a little bit of growth that got you nowhere, but 985 00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:26,719 Speaker 3: there's some building blocks starting to show up there. And 986 00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,440 Speaker 3: I think you can say the same thing for Russell 987 00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:31,239 Speaker 3: Wilson in the Denver broncos on that you know, with 988 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,640 Speaker 3: as you mentioned, his cleanest performance of the year so far, 989 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:41,680 Speaker 3: but it was against a really, really bad defense. But 990 00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:46,960 Speaker 3: maybe the culture are really bad. I worry without Leonard 991 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,680 Speaker 3: that this and with Gus Bradley calling, you know, calling 992 00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 3: the shots there and really just not a ton of 993 00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,839 Speaker 3: talent outside of Gilmour and Buckner, who's also hurt. By 994 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:59,359 Speaker 3: the way, you know that this might be a real, 995 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,960 Speaker 3: real week defense that Russell Wilson gets to go up against. 996 00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 3: And you know, for whatever it's worth, the Denver defense 997 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:10,800 Speaker 3: couldn't get off the field against you know, against Josh Jacobs, 998 00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,000 Speaker 3: who hasn't been lighting the world on fire lately. So 999 00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,560 Speaker 3: Denver defense may be a hair over rated considering who's healthy. 1000 00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,719 Speaker 3: Definitely think that, yeah, I mean I think that injuries 1001 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:23,040 Speaker 3: to me as I look at them, people are focusing 1002 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 3: on the fantasy side of things, which is running backs, right, 1003 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 3: but the defensive injuries I think are going to matter 1004 00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:30,960 Speaker 3: more in this game. You've seen the total tick up 1005 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,400 Speaker 3: from forty three to forty three and a half. I 1006 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:37,000 Speaker 3: would look over or pass because I think, again, you're 1007 00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,600 Speaker 3: kind of buying low on two offenses that we're expected 1008 00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:44,799 Speaker 3: to at least be league average, and you're selling on 1009 00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:49,200 Speaker 3: some defenses that are missing some important pieces. I'm surprised 1010 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:53,319 Speaker 3: that there has been some real Colts money that showed up, 1011 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:56,000 Speaker 3: but it may be similar to what I'm seeing, and 1012 00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 3: that people are expecting that that offense is starting to 1013 00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:01,640 Speaker 3: find a little form. 1014 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:02,400 Speaker 2: Interesting. 1015 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:04,440 Speaker 1: I'm kind of s I'm just as surprised with you 1016 00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:06,600 Speaker 1: on that Colt's money showing up here via is my 1017 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,719 Speaker 1: first glance, especially from everything we just talked about, would 1018 00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,960 Speaker 1: definitely be the lean Denver in the spot. But we're 1019 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 1: going back, bringing it full circle to the beginning of 1020 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:17,920 Speaker 1: the show here. This is kind of where the Colts 1021 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,000 Speaker 1: you need to say, Okay, it's either get up or 1022 00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:21,560 Speaker 1: shut up. 1023 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:27,600 Speaker 2: Now. Yeah, this is their season. They didn't let They 1024 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 2: gave you a. 1025 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 3: Full, full heart perform against the Chiefs at zero to two, 1026 00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:35,640 Speaker 3: first home game trying to save their season. They got 1027 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,960 Speaker 3: a very lucky win because of some bad special teams 1028 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,560 Speaker 3: by the Chiefs. They were lackluster last week, but almost 1029 00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,839 Speaker 3: fought their way back into that game. And I think, yeah, 1030 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,879 Speaker 3: the cycle would tell you that, like they can get 1031 00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,040 Speaker 3: up for the spot and maybe at least get. 1032 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,960 Speaker 2: Twenty one points. At least that's what I'm hoping for. 1033 00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 3: But there's probably a little, you know, kind of interest 1034 00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:03,200 Speaker 3: in fading Hackett in his first Thursday Night appearance. Hackett 1035 00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:05,680 Speaker 3: has not shown an ability to handle the head coaching 1036 00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 3: and offensive coordinating duties in tandem. And you know, Thursday 1037 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,920 Speaker 3: night football is where you tend to see that manifest 1038 00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,319 Speaker 3: most severely. But again, they're going up against a bad 1039 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,080 Speaker 3: defense with the Colts, So I don't know. 1040 00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:23,880 Speaker 4: I look at this and I think, you know, okay, 1041 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:25,880 Speaker 4: so a couple of things and I'm going to have 1042 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,920 Speaker 4: a final question here that is related to Thursday Night Football, 1043 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,560 Speaker 4: but kind of bigger picture. I look at this and 1044 00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,360 Speaker 4: I think, you know what, my life will be happier 1045 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:37,399 Speaker 4: if I don't bet this, and maybe if I don't 1046 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:42,200 Speaker 4: even watch this game. You know, as sacrilegious as that 1047 00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,719 Speaker 4: might sound, not watching Thursday night football, you know, not 1048 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,120 Speaker 4: every game needs to be watched. It feels like this 1049 00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,040 Speaker 4: might be in that category, though, I'm yeah, you know, 1050 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,040 Speaker 4: but I'm probably going to stay away. I will probably 1051 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 4: be staying away from from aspects of this game. But 1052 00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:59,360 Speaker 4: the question, you know, I and you mentioned the Daniel Hackett. 1053 00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:02,560 Speaker 4: I I look at some of the decisions that these 1054 00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:07,680 Speaker 4: coaches make, and you know, I have a quote unquote model, 1055 00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,919 Speaker 4: it's a spreadsheet. I don't know what I'm doing. Let's 1056 00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:11,919 Speaker 4: just be honest, you know, I like, I'm a self 1057 00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 4: taught hack when it comes to like the things that 1058 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:15,360 Speaker 4: I'm putting in the models and how it is that 1059 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,960 Speaker 4: I wait things. But decision making for coaches, it is, 1060 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:24,080 Speaker 4: I think pretty hard to incorporate things like that into 1061 00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,520 Speaker 4: a model. And so I have, you know, like a 1062 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,920 Speaker 4: column within my spreadsheet that has like notes about like 1063 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,879 Speaker 4: the various dumb decisions that coaches will make. And I'll 1064 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,440 Speaker 4: try to kind of think about this, like is this 1065 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:37,839 Speaker 4: really the team I want to back? 1066 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:38,000 Speaker 2: Like? 1067 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,399 Speaker 4: Do I really want to back Nathaniel Hackett when he 1068 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,399 Speaker 4: does this? This and this and so? How is it 1069 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:49,839 Speaker 4: if you are incorporating decision making into your handicapping or 1070 00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:53,640 Speaker 4: your model, How is it that you're doing it? And 1071 00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,479 Speaker 4: how much are you waiting it? How do you take 1072 00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:58,799 Speaker 4: all of that into account when you're thinking about what 1073 00:55:58,960 --> 00:55:59,840 Speaker 4: you're going to bet? 1074 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:04,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it definitely is. It definitely matters. 1075 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:13,200 Speaker 3: But I also think that, uh, there are enough NFL 1076 00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 3: games and enough edges to find out there that making 1077 00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:20,600 Speaker 3: a bet solely based on some qualitative opinion of a 1078 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,560 Speaker 3: coach good or bad is not enough, right, Yeah, if 1079 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 3: if you have an edge on a game, if you're 1080 00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:29,359 Speaker 3: making a game three and a half and it's three, 1081 00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,759 Speaker 3: or you're making it four and it's three even, and 1082 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:33,839 Speaker 3: you're like, okay, I'm gonna fire of the favorite here, 1083 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,160 Speaker 3: and then you look at your spreadsheet and you're like, 1084 00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:40,479 Speaker 3: this coach is a you know, it's a numb nuts 1085 00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:44,200 Speaker 3: or whatever. Then you know, all of a sudden, maybe 1086 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,920 Speaker 3: I don't make that bet right or vice versa. It's like, 1087 00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:49,960 Speaker 3: I've seen an edge on this four and oh, by 1088 00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:52,239 Speaker 3: the way, I get to fade this guy that I 1089 00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 3: don't like. Yeah, it's a little more ammo in the 1090 00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,320 Speaker 3: little more ammo in the chamber. Maybe like helps you 1091 00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,120 Speaker 3: shade like what would be on aotative edge a little 1092 00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,279 Speaker 3: bit more towards, you know, towards the side that you 1093 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,759 Speaker 3: think you already see value on. 1094 00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:06,759 Speaker 2: So I think. 1095 00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:12,640 Speaker 3: Using it as sort of a secondary layer beyond putting 1096 00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:14,759 Speaker 3: together a number is the right approach. And I think 1097 00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:17,160 Speaker 3: there are beyond coaching, there are a lot of those 1098 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,120 Speaker 3: sort of things, player level injuries stuff. If you're not 1099 00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:24,880 Speaker 3: incorporating a player level injury, you know, if you're not 1100 00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:28,200 Speaker 3: if you're going top down, which is basically a team rating, 1101 00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:30,040 Speaker 3: to come up to a number or power rate and 1102 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,880 Speaker 3: come up with a number you're it's a good starting point. 1103 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 3: I would advise anyone to at least try that. If 1104 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,480 Speaker 3: you don't know what I'm talking about. There's plenty of 1105 00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,680 Speaker 3: resources out there. How do you come up with a 1106 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 3: power number? And what do you do with that? But 1107 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 3: if you're ignoring the impact of certain player level stuff, right, so, 1108 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 3: you see an injury report and you know that it 1109 00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,320 Speaker 3: hasn't been vet into the market yet because it's just 1110 00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:57,480 Speaker 3: breaking news, like this player is out, and you see 1111 00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,640 Speaker 3: the number move a point, and you kind of do 1112 00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:01,520 Speaker 3: a quot aitative, Well. 1113 00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 2: Is he worth that much? How do we figure out 1114 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:04,200 Speaker 2: if he's worth that much? 1115 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:06,040 Speaker 3: Let's look at the splits with and with that, let's 1116 00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:07,920 Speaker 3: look at you know, like how he matched how did 1117 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 3: he match up his personnel packages against the defense he 1118 00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,840 Speaker 3: was up against. Who's his replacement? Is his replacement maybe 1119 00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:15,760 Speaker 3: better than we think than the market thinks, right? 1120 00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 2: You know? 1121 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,720 Speaker 3: So, kind of using like a player level availability, a 1122 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:25,520 Speaker 3: coaching decision making, you know, rubric or or situational you 1123 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,040 Speaker 3: know factors, using any of that sort of stuff as 1124 00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,640 Speaker 3: sort of a layer beyond however, you're coming up with 1125 00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 3: a fair price is a useful way to get off 1126 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,560 Speaker 3: of bad bets or to find good bets in my mind, 1127 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:39,520 Speaker 3: And you know, I think once you get through enough 1128 00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:43,480 Speaker 3: cycles of betting using power numbers even and have just 1129 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,919 Speaker 3: a good feel for what the market power numbers are 1130 00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:49,840 Speaker 3: or implied market power numbers ought to be, you know, 1131 00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,440 Speaker 3: then that becomes sort of your mental model for making 1132 00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,840 Speaker 3: bets anyway, and then that's effectively your just you know, 1133 00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:58,200 Speaker 3: your decision tree is kind of firing based on that 1134 00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,440 Speaker 3: information implicitly, which is where you ultimately want to get to. 1135 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,600 Speaker 3: So I think keeping track of it is important though 1136 00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,720 Speaker 3: otherwise you're just gonna have biases based on say you 1137 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:10,439 Speaker 3: lost a bet or one to bet because a coach 1138 00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:12,520 Speaker 3: did something stupid at the end of the game, or 1139 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:14,840 Speaker 3: maybe he did something right and you've decided it was 1140 00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:17,040 Speaker 3: stupid because you lost a bet on it, right, and 1141 00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:19,320 Speaker 3: then the next time out you're determined to bet against 1142 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:23,360 Speaker 3: that guy, like you know, you bet the Raven's money line. 1143 00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,360 Speaker 3: You're pissed at harb off or not kicking the field goal, 1144 00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,080 Speaker 3: even though it was the right decision. To go for 1145 00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:29,440 Speaker 3: the touchdown, you know, and the next time, well, I'm 1146 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,480 Speaker 3: gonna bet the Bengals this week because you know, screw 1147 00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:34,560 Speaker 3: our ball. You know, obviously that's a that's a bad bet. 1148 00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't. You don't give the Bills the ball 1149 00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,200 Speaker 1: back down three in that situation, you just you just don't. 1150 00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,960 Speaker 1: I'm fully in agreement with you there.
