Through the magic of technology, you were 17 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: able to be here and you're not contaminating anyone. I 18 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: was quarantined upstairs the whole time by myself, not the 19 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: first time I've been alone on a holiday bend, so 20 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: it was okay. My girl still made me feel cool 21 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: on my birthday though, I got to go outside for 22 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: a few minutes, and now I feel like I've really 23 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: been let out the loony bin for a walk on 24 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: the wild side.

I just hit the 28 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: cough button a lot. So when you need a cough 29 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: at all button, you're good to go. So this is 30 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Pay podcast. We'll get into Danny G's 31 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: life and times and the situation that he's going through 32 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: on the Saturday podcast. But this being Benny Versus the Penny. 33 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: It is already week seventeen of the NFL, which means 34 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: we have this week next week, and then the playoffs start. Playoffs, 35 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: as our former colleague Jim Morris said back in the 36 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: day there so that will be coming up in a 37 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: couple of weeks down the line. And so this is 38 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: the next to last weekend we will pick every game 39 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL. We'll continue this all the way up 40 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: until the super Bowl, and then we'll do something else 41 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: on these Friday podcasts. We'll get back to having people 42 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,119 Speaker 1: hang out with us on the Friday podcast. But let's 43 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: look back at week sixteen of the NFL season. Before 44 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: we look ahead, we must look back. And there were 45 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: sixteen games on the NFL card over the holiday weeken, 46 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: most of them played on Saturday. And how did we do? Overall? 47 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: Got off to a very good start in week sixteen, 48 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: yours truly, but then they kept playing games and it 49 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: didn't go so well for me as the weekend progressed. 50 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: Now I ended up a middling eight and eight, which 51 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: you don't make money when you go eight and eight. 52 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: You have to get fifty two point four or better 53 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: of your bets correct to make money. So I lost 54 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: money at five, eight and eight. How did the penny 55 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: do you ask, I'm sure the penny kicks the mass. Uh, well, 56 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: the penny did kick my ass. The penny ended up 57 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: winning and had a ridiculous hot speak here. The penny 58 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: finished ten and six, got off to a terrible start, 59 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: won seven of the final eight games on the card 60 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: after starting the weekend three and five. So it was 61 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: a reverso where I I got off to a good 62 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: start and then took a shifter, and then the penny 63 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: they got off to a mediocre start, and they went 64 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: seven of eight to close out the weekend. So they 65 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: end up ten and six. Now, I lost three games 66 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: by one or as three games by a point or less, 67 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: but I can't be less than a point. But the 68 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: Patriot Bengal game, Patriots came back, had the ball, they 69 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: were driving down the field, and there was a fumball. 70 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: They were inside the red zone. That killed me. Cowboys Eagles. 71 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: Eagles fumbled deep inside Cowboy territory. They were driving the 72 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: ball down the field. They ended up losing by five. 73 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: They were four point underdogs. And the Ravens and Falcons 74 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: game lost that also by a mirror point. So three losses. 75 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: But but I don't feel bad about that, Danny, because 76 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: I feel like I handicapped the game. It was right there. 77 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,039 Speaker 1: It was anyone's game. And sometimes you're the fire hydrant, 78 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: sometimes you're the you're the dog, and then in this case, 79 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: I was the that was the fire hydrant. But that's fine. 80 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: I think it was close's I'd rather have that than 81 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: get my doors blown off like I in with the 82 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: For some reason, I thought the Broncos defense would show 83 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: up against the ramp. They lost by forty points, So yeah, 84 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: it does cut both ways. I'd rather I'd lose. I'd 85 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: rather lose my point because that tells me my gambling 86 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: instincts were proper as opposed to to the Broncos didn't 87 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: even show up and should have just taken Christmas off 88 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: against the Rams in that game. But that's what has happened. 89 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: And now let's see what's going to happen as we 90 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: get out to Crystal Ball, get to the week seventeen card, 91 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: and we already picked the Thursday night game. We did 92 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: that on social media because there was no radio show 93 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: this week because we're dark in sabbatical on the radio 94 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 1: back this weekend on Sunday night. But we'll start out 95 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: first game on the card for US Carolina six and 96 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: nine at Tampa Bay seven and eight. It's on Fox. 97 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: This is the A game for Fox. Kevin Burkhardt and 98 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: Greg Olsen have the call. Buccaneers opened originally a six 99 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: and app point favorite, that's all the way down to 100 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: three and the forecast humid and overcast temperatures in the 101 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: seventies at Raymond James Stadium, the house the T. J. 102 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: Reeves built in Tampa and the slight lean on the 103 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: handle towards the Carolina Panthers. But the Buccaneers don't look now, 104 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: but Tom Brady and the Buccaneers and NFL worst for gamblers. 105 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: If you bet on the Buccaneers blindly against the spread 106 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: every week, you have gone three eleven and one this season. 107 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: That is the worst mark in the NFL. Tampa one 108 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: eleven and one against the spread their last thirteen games, 109 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: and the Carolina Panthers on the other side since they 110 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: made the coaching change. Steve Wilkes the interim coach, unlikely 111 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: to be the permanent coach. But Carolina seven and three 112 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 1: against the spread in the Steve Wilkes era as coach, 113 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take the Panthers in this game. I'll 114 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: take Carolina on the road. It as a small underdog. 115 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: Actually like Carolina a lot in this game. The running 116 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: game of Deonte Foreman and Cuba Hubbard to get chunk 117 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: plays against that Bucks defensive front. They're not gonna be 118 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: as good as they were last week against the Lions 119 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: and historic first half of that game. But it's imperative 120 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: that Carolina run the ball because you don't want to 121 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: expose Sam Donald too much. He's like a vampire. You 122 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: you throw the ball too much, it's like the vampire 123 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: with sunlight, bad things happen. The Buccaneers have been winning 124 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: games with spit, duct tape and w D forty at 125 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: this point. They the last four weeks, Tom Brady has 126 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, seven interceptions, and he's averaging barely over five 127 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: and a half yards per past. Terrible numbers for Brady. 128 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: You're not allowed to criticize him, though, Danny, because he's 129 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, and the Brady defense team will activate and 130 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: circle the wagons. But those mistakes very costly. It's certainly 131 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: a game like this the if there's are just the 132 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: better team. Lately, they've been the better team. I say 133 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: that continues this week. Their defense and will be able 134 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: to slow down an offense for Tampa which is not 135 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: that hard to slow down. Panthers two Buccaneers twenty the 136 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: final and the Penny would like to remind you that 137 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: we have a famous drop where you say you love 138 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: Tom Brady so much that you would cuddle with him 139 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: going with Tampa Bay. Well, there was a point when 140 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: every other show was all Tom Brady all the time, 141 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: but we've moved on from that. Now it's only twice 142 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 1: a week. It's Tom Brady. I love Tom Brady. I 143 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: would cuddle with him, that's how cool he is. So 144 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: you used to have to do monitor. You were forced 145 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: into ball monologues. Remember, oh yeah, Oh there was even 146 00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: a ball song that we played on a regular basis. 147 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: That was fun that. The flight Gate scandal was good. 148 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 1: That was good talk. That's good scandal radio for sports talk. 149 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: That was a fun time. I'm glad I got to 150 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: be on the radio during and you were part of that. Danny, 151 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: we had we had a plast with that. It was fun. Balls. 152 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: I was wonderful. Had the Belichick news conference where he 153 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, he was yapping, and then Brady got up 154 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: there and he was talking about the balls, how he 155 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: likes his balls, and it was it was lots of ball, 156 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: dozens of ball drops. It was a lot. I was. 157 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: I was holding ball, touching balls, you name. It had 158 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: a lot of balls. It was. It was solid alright. 159 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: Next up Cleveland six and nine at Washington seven, seven 160 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: and one. It's on Fox with Adam Aman and Mark Labor. 161 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: They have the call Commanders opened at two point favorite. 162 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: They are favorite by I won most people betting on 163 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 1: the Browns in this game. It's at FedEx Field, overcast, 164 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: temperatures in the fifties at kickoff for this game. The 165 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: Browns last ten road games they have a losing record. 166 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,359 Speaker 1: For gamblers. There are four and six under Kevin Stefanski 167 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: Washington six three and one against the spread, their last 168 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: ten under Ron Rivera, and the pick is in. I'm 169 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: gonna take the Commanders in this game. There's a quarterback change, 170 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz taking over for the Commandos, and I am 171 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: not a big fan, not a big fan of him. 172 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: I'm not betting on this game because of Carson Wentz. 173 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,439 Speaker 1: I think he's a middling quarterback. And this is actually 174 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: a similar situation if Taylor Heineke had started. I don't 175 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: think there's much difference between when Wentz and Heineke. But 176 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 1: I am betting against the Shawn Watson. He's played now 177 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: a month, and in that month, the Cleveland Browns are 178 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: averaging two or ninety six yards per game. Since Watson 179 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: made his debut, that's twenty six in the NFL. He 180 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: is simply not producing year uh, not getting it done. 181 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: Just two touchdown passes, three interceptions, averaging less than six 182 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: yards per attempt. At say slow offense, a plotting offense 183 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: for Cleveland Washington. The strength of this team, you wouldn't 184 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: know it based on the game with the forty Niners 185 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: last week is the defense. They have a top ten 186 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: fringe defense in the NFL based on some of the 187 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: stats you mix in Brian Robinson, that running game against 188 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: the Cleveland defense, which is still injury ravage and Washington 189 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: only favored by a point, is the right side in 190 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: this game they should win by closer to ten points. 191 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: Commanders twenty four, Brownies six team will be the final 192 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: and the penny go on the other way saying this 193 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: is the week Deshaun Watson is going to get off 194 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: the table, you know they Yeah, So he'll get out 195 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: of the baby yoga pose and you'll get into a 196 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: different pose like the Chargers coach the other day with 197 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: his pose before the game that you see that video, 198 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: Oh my god, quite the video of anyway. All right, 199 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 1: New Orleans, Uh, the the game there New Orleans and Philadelphia. 200 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: That's the next game as New Orleans comes in six 201 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: and nine. Popular Record the NFL Philadelphia thirteen and two. 202 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,560 Speaker 1: It's on Fox with Joe Davis and Darryl Johnston The 203 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: Eagles opened a seven point favorite, their favorite by five 204 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: and a half most people betting on the Eagles. That 205 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: scares me a little bit. Overcast and fifty degrees at 206 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: kickoff at The Link in South Philly, the house that 207 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: Tony Bruno used to watch games at back in the day. 208 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: The Saints opened up in this game getting getting a 209 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: fair amount of money, but the Eagles now getting pretty 210 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: much everything as far as the gambling handle is concerned. 211 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: Dennis Allen has coached Answer two and five against the spread, 212 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: Philly six and one against the spread at home and 213 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: New Orleans. They have been really bad against the better teams. 214 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: They are owing three their last three games against teams 215 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: that every winning record. I'm gonna take the Eagles here. 216 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: It's uh, it's a favorite. I don't normally bet the favorites, 217 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna take Philly here. Good spot for them. 218 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: Even with Jalen Hurts bad shoulder, he has not practiced 219 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 1: and is not expected to play. The Eagles have not 220 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: made that official at the time. We are doing Benny 221 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: versus the Penny, so it's still up in the air, 222 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 1: but we are comfortable with Gardner Minshew, who played well 223 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: in stretches against Dallas. The big bugaboo and it's a 224 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: massive thing if you're a gambler betting on a favorite 225 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:49,359 Speaker 1: is the turnover game. Two interceptions and two fumbles backbreaking 226 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: killed us against the Cowboys last week. But the Eagles 227 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: were able to matriculate the ball up and down the field. 228 00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: That sloppiness doing them in. But Gardner Minshew averaging eleven 229 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 1: point to air yards per attempts, second highest average of 230 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: his career. The big key here is getting that Philly 231 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: defense on track. They were flambaided by the Cowboys for 232 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: nineteen yards. They with a ten point second half lead 233 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: in the third quarter in that game. The good news 234 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: is Andy Dalton is starting for the Saints and he's 235 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: good for a couple of turnovers himself Eagles seven and 236 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: then all in Saints twenty the final and the penny 237 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: is also riding with the Eagles. Alright, so we agree 238 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: on that. Next up, boy, this is a game that 239 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: it has no redeeming value. Arizona four and eleven at 240 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: Atlanta five and ten. It's on Fox with Jason Bennetti 241 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: and Brady Quinn for your your guy. Brady Quinn, who 242 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 1: back in the day you worked on that show them, uh, 243 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: and now you're on the midday show. But anyway, Brady 244 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: Quimby calling this game part of the Fox Sports Radio Family. 245 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: The Falcons opened up a three point favorite, and they 246 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: are favored by three and a half right now. Most 247 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: people betting on the Falcons inside the climate controlled Mercedes 248 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: Benz Stadium. The Falcons two and eight against the spread 249 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: their last tennis home favorites Atlanta three and seven over 250 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: their last ten overall against the spread with Arthur Smith 251 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: as coach, and Arizona's got those great numbers as a 252 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: road underdog their nine and two against the spread. This 253 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: the final couple of games of J. J. Watt. He 254 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: announced this week that he's hanging up the shoulder pads 255 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: and the helmet. He's done at the end of this season. 256 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: Cardinals not going to the playoffs clearly, but I am 257 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: gonna take Arizona this game. Last place teams going head 258 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: to head, Cardinals have lost five games and roll straight up. 259 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: Falcons have dropped four straight. Colt McCoy though he's gonna play. 260 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: You say, who cares he sucks, But listen, he's the 261 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: lesser of evils in this game. Colt McCoy coming off 262 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: the concussion protocol back for Arizona and Trace McSorley, who 263 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: was as bad as advertised. Somehow, that game went to 264 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: overtime against Tampa Bay, which is more about the Bucks 265 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: than it is the Cardinals. But Colt McCoy will be 266 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: able to make a few players. You really don't need 267 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: that much. This game will be nip and tuck, and 268 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: I really think the key is you're getting that half point, 269 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: the three and a half. Most likely this game decided 270 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: by a field goal. Either Atlanta wins by a field 271 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: goal or Arizona wins by a field goal. Either way, 272 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna win the bet with the three and a half. 273 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: So I'll take the Cardinals plus the three and a half, 274 00:16:50,240 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: Arizona nineteen and Atlanta sixteen the final. And just like you, 275 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: the Petty would like to do a jersey exchange with 276 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: Colt McCoy after the victory. Okay, there you go. Get 277 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: you gonna get some grits and hang out with your 278 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: own Drenovitch our our buddy done in Atlanta, part of 279 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association. He's retired now. It's 280 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 1: crazy when I hear people retire like it's weird. I'll think, 281 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 1: get enough money to do that. I know, well he 282 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: did TV. That's why sense not just radio. Jacksonville seven 283 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: and eight at Arizona to twelve and one. It's on 284 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: CBS with Andrew Catalan and James Lofton. The Jags opened 285 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: a five and a half point favorite. They're favorite by 286 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: four and a half slight lean on the handle the 287 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: Houston in this game at n RG Stadium inside the Dome, 288 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: the house that Chris and Houston built. Jacksonville has lost 289 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: seven straight games outright as a favorite, including all three 290 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: this season, and that is actually tied for the fourth 291 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: longest streak in the Super Bowl era of Jacks have 292 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: not been great on the road overall. They didn't win 293 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 1: the game against the Jets, the last the road game there, 294 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: but they take gone the Houston, the worst team in football. 295 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: Jack's five and ten against the spread on the road 296 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence. Doug Peterson has not been great. Second 297 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: consecutive road game, two in seven against the spread. So 298 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: I'm giving a lot of numbers here, but I'm gonna 299 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: take the textas of this game. Jacks as a road favorite, 300 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: not comfortable. First time they've been a road favorite all 301 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: all season long. Here, they have been favorited in only 302 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: three games this year, and they have lost all three 303 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: games outright as a favorite. So win or lose this 304 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: is an odd game because win or lose it doesn't 305 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: matter for Jacksonville. They are ensured of a winner take 306 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: all game for the a f C South with Tennessee 307 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 1: in Week eight teen. So they win this game by 308 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: seventy points, it doesn't matter. They can lose this game 309 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: by fifty points, it doesn't matter. Houston, meanwhile, they've done 310 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: very well lately and and the overall in the division 311 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: Houston three and oh against the spread their past three 312 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: games as a dog and uh for gambles against a 313 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: FC South divisional opponents, they're nine in three against the spread. 314 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 1: We'll take the Jags to win it, but not cover 315 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: the number. Jacks twenty four, Texans twenty three, the final 316 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: and the penny. He's also wags in on his boring 317 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: game by taking the Jags alright Jacksonville that the new 318 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: hottie among the quarterbacks is Trevor Lawrence. Though he's the 319 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 1: guy getting hyped up, Daddy, He's not my hottie, but 320 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: he's he's been good for me lately. But you know, jack, 321 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: I bet you Jacksonville ends up on multiple prime time 322 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 1: games next year because the NFL marketing Arm they get 323 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: together in the off season a resort, usually in Florida, 324 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: and they go into a room and determine who who 325 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: the sexy teams are for the following year. And they 326 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: need that. They need to keep cultivating the next generation 327 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. And so Trevor Lawrence is gonna get a 328 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: lot of luck. Even though Jacksonville is not not a 329 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,959 Speaker 1: national team. They're not a you know, a great they 330 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: don't have a great following, but they're gonna try to 331 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: build one up with Trevor Lawrence. So alright, next up 332 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: Chicago three and twelve at Detroit seven and eight. It's 333 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: on Fox. Friend of the Show. Kenny Albert and Jonathan 334 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: Vilma have the call. Lions opened up a six and 335 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 1: a point favorite, their favorite by six. At this moment, 336 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: most people think this is free money. Just bet on 337 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: the Lions. It's like a broken a T M machine 338 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: overcast in forty degrees in the Motor City, but the 339 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: game is being played indoors, the great indoors at Ford Field. Bears. 340 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: Check this out there. Oh in seven against the spread 341 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 1: their last seven games versus teams that have a winning record, 342 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: the Chicago oh and three their past three road games 343 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: the Lions. This is an odd spot. There's six point 344 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: favorites laying their most points in a game since way 345 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: back in twenty nineteen. So this is uncharted territory recently 346 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: for the Lions. Detroit enters four and no against the 347 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: spread their last four at home, seven and one against 348 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: the spread their past eight games regardless of location. They 349 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: got their doors blown off by Carolina last weekend. I'm 350 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: gonna take Chicago in this game. The Lions run defense 351 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: sprung a major league in Carolina last week. They got 352 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: absolutely trampled in that game by the Again and the 353 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: Yang and the Panther running attack. Detroit still missing a 354 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: couple of players on the defensive side of the ball, 355 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,719 Speaker 1: including Deshan Elliott, the safety and the information that we 356 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: have year and so the Bears. The one thing the 357 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: Bears do is run the ball. And so you've got 358 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: to think that David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert in the 359 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: backfield and then justin fields the dual threat quarterback. It's 360 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: gonna be like the Autobahn running the ball around there 361 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: and Jared Goff will be better. It's not. He's playing indoors, 362 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 1: the great indoors, their climate controlled environment inside the dome, 363 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: but not enough to cover the six points. Lions twenty seven, 364 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 1: Bears twenty four the final, and the penny is the 365 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: president of the Jared Goff Fan Club going with Detroit alright, 366 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: de Detroit Football. Next up, Miami eight and seven at 367 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: New England's seven and eight. It's on Serris with Iron 368 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: Eagle and Charles Davis, friend of the podcast, and they've 369 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: got the call on this. Patriots and the Dolphins actually 370 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: opened a two point favorite. Patriots are a two and 371 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: a half point favorite now, Dolphins originally favorite by two 372 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: on the early line. Patriots getting a fair amount of 373 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: the money. Foggy conditions at Gillette Stadium and kickoff, don't 374 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: talk about to his head like that. Temperatures in the 375 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: low fifties at kickoff. Dolphins have been a miserable road 376 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: team for gamblers this year, with Mike McDaniel one five 377 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: and one against the spread. Many people think though that 378 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: this is a good spot for the Dolphins because Teddy 379 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:35,719 Speaker 1: Bridgewater in his career has been a very profitable quarterback 380 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: forty two twenty two. His record forty two wins, twenty 381 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,879 Speaker 1: two losses against the spread in his career, twenty four 382 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: and eight against the spread as an underdog and nineteen 383 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: and four against the spread as a road underdogs. So 384 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: those are some big time numbers. That's an eight winning 385 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: percentage against the spread as a road dog for gamblers. 386 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: But I'm going the other way. I'll taken up Patriots 387 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: with two a tog of ilo and the concussion protocol 388 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: Bridgewater starting this game. The Patriots secondary. They have been 389 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: fleet bitten recently. It does not bode well against Tyreek 390 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 1: Kill and Waddle and the big playmakers that Dolphins have. 391 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: Mild weather, but I'm counting on the Patriots making Miami 392 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: a one dimensional team, taking away the running game with 393 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: that great front seven that the Pats have, and Mac 394 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: Jones will do his part against the Dolphins secondary. R 395 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: overall twenty nine and past defense that secondary over the 396 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: last month. Here Patriots thirty three Dolphins six the final 397 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: and the penny going the other way taking the fins alright. 398 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: Disagreement on that. Next up, Denver four and eleven at 399 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: Kansas City twelve and three. It's on CBS with Greg Gumble, 400 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: who hates sports talk radio, and Adam arch A. Let Uh. 401 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 1: The Chiefs opened up here at ten point favorite. They 402 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: are favored by twelve and a half on the home 403 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 1: field that Arrowhead Stadium, Temperatures in the forties at kick 404 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: off in the heartland of Kansas City. Now. Russell Wilson, 405 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: who's back starting for the Broncos again, has never started 406 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: a game in which his team was a double digit underdog. 407 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: Last time it was close. I think the last time 408 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: he seems played, he was like eight and a half 409 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: or nine point underdogs that came back in Denver. But 410 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: this will be the most lopsided point spread of Russell 411 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: Wilson's career. He is six and oh against the spread, 412 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: including this season when getting at least seven and a 413 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: half points. So I'm gonna take the Broncos in this game. 414 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 1: Kansas City one and nine in their last ten against 415 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: a FC opponents. They are three eleven and one their 416 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: last fifteen against teams that have a losing record against 417 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: the spread. We know Denver made the coaching change. They 418 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: finally got rid of Nathaniel Hackett in his first season. 419 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 1: Room move the team quit against the Rams and somebody 420 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: named Jerry Rossberg takes over the clock management coach on 421 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: an interim basis, Will this be a spark for the Broncos? 422 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:17,120 Speaker 1: I say yes. I say yes. Teams playing in their 423 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: first game after firing their coach are fifteen and ten 424 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: against the spread since ten outright wins in eighteen opportunities 425 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 1: as underdogs, and the Broncos laid down against the Rams. 426 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: That reminded me when I used to cover the NBA. 427 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: I'd see teams do that when they were tired of 428 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: their coach. They just they would lose by forty points 429 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: on a random night to get the coach fired. That's 430 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 1: what the Broncos did against the Rams last week. But 431 00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: now you bounced back divisional game, and there's a golden rule. 432 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: Anytime you get over a touchdown in a divisional game, 433 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 1: you always take the points. You don't ask questions. I 434 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: expect a much better effort by Denver to prove to 435 00:26:55,119 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 1: the ownership that Hackett was the problem. Cans us. He 436 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: will win this game, but they will not cover the number. 437 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: Chiefs twenty six, Broco's seventeen the final and the penny says, 438 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: make that two and nine against the spread, going with 439 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. All right, Next up Indianapolis four ten and one, 440 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: pu what stinks? That's Nick Foles and the New York 441 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 1: Giants eight six and one. It's on CBS with Kevin 442 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 1: Harland and Trent Green. The Giants opened up a three 443 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: point favorite, and they are favorite in the swamp lands 444 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: of Jersey by six. Most people believe the Giants free money, 445 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: a lot of money coming on the Johnson Another foggy condition. 446 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: The early forecast has foggy conditions, temperatures in the high 447 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 1: forties at met Life Stadium. And I'm gonna take the 448 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: Colts in this game. Don't don't tell anybody, Danny, but 449 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Colts here. It'll be our little secret, 450 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 1: uh the future home of Derek Carr Well, yeah, yeah, 451 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 1: that's a possibility there Washington. Daniel Jones as a favorite 452 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 1: in his NFL career, has been favorite twelve times, has 453 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: a losing record five and seven against the spread. Indie, 454 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: they're in a tough stretch, one in six against the 455 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: spread their last seven Sunday road games, and Nick Foles 456 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: was not worth a bucket of warm spit in his 457 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 1: starting debut. It looked like he won a raffle to 458 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: play quarterback, Like they took him out of the upper 459 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: deck at the Colts game and they're like, hey, would 460 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: you like to play quarterback? And they don't have Jonathan Taylor, 461 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: and I you know, Zack Moss. Is it just a 462 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: jag running back? Just a guy and in these defense 463 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 1: that is the strength, that's the strength of this team. 464 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: But the last month they've been blood in their twenty 465 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: nine overall their eleventh in the NFL. But the last 466 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: month or twenty nine, every trend says, bet the Giants, 467 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: Bet the Giants, Bet the Giants. But I say, no, 468 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: the Giants even other eight six and one, and he 469 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: still have a lot to play for. I don't trust 470 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: him as this big favorite. I'm gonna zig when everyone 471 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: else is zagging, and the Giants sig the cult. They're 472 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: gonna need a couple of turnovers in order to get 473 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: some points on the board. But I'll take the Giants 474 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: twenty four and the Colts twenty the final and the 475 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: penny is smoking the la la la, just like you 476 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: going with the Colts. We agree on that. Agree with 477 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: the Horseshoes.

Seattle opened a two and a 482 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 1: half point favorite. This game is a pick them, It's 483 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: a pick your no special Seattle getting most of the 484 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: money here over of the handle in terms of the 485 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: money on the Seattle at the stadium now named lumin 486 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: Field overcast and the kickoff temperature at forty degrees in 487 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,719 Speaker 1: Chile Seattle. Seattle enters having failed to cover the spread 488 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 1: six straight games. That is tied for their longest streak 489 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 1: since the year two thousand. It's also tied for the 490 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 1: longest such streak in the NFL this season, tied with 491 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:36,719 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mike White expected to return 492 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: here as the starter for New York and the Jets 493 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: have a two and one against the spread record in 494 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: his starts. I'm taking the Jets in this game. We 495 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: have seen the real Geno Smith and it ain't pretty. 496 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: He was an m VP candidate up until he wasn't 497 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: an MVP candidate. Over the overall, he was the five 498 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: frank quarterback. He is still the fifth rand quarterback in 499 00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: the NFL last three weeks, though, Is it true that 500 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: Geno Smith has five touchdowns, three interceptions, of passer rating 501 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 1: below and less than six yards per attempt? As his 502 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: numbers have gone down, down, down, down, down, down down 503 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: like a broken elevator all the way to the basement. 504 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: And part of that is Tyler Lockett's been out and 505 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: you've had just DK Metcalf the last couple of games. 506 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: Lock It should be back on the field, but Sauce Gardner, 507 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: the shutdown defensive back, He's gonna take away either Metcalf 508 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: or lock It. Pick your poison. And the Jets are 509 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: very enthusiastic about Mike White's return. I'm not a huge 510 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: believer in Mike White. He's been spotty. Had a big 511 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: game against the Bears this year, had a big game 512 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 1: last year against the Bengals. Other than that, it has 513 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: not been pretty. But side by side, compared to Zack Wilson, 514 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: this guy is Tom Brady two point oh. I'm talking 515 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: about Mike White, Jets Seahawks twenty the final And like you, 516 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: the penny is a big White fans going on with 517 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,959 Speaker 1: the j E t s sucks, sucks, suck. All right. 518 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: The Seahawk fans not quite as braggadocious Danny as they 519 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: were a couple of weeks ago about Geno Smith. They've 520 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: been moaning a little bit the last month. Understandable, all right. 521 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,360 Speaker 1: Next up San Francisco, the San Francisco treat. That would 522 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: be brock Purty against the loss Vegas Raiders Ers coming 523 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: eleven four, Vegas six and nine. It's on Fox. Kevin 524 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,480 Speaker 1: Coogler and Mark Sanchez have the call. Danny G will 525 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: be watching this game. The Raiders opened up a four 526 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: and a half point favorite originally and that has gone 527 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: all the way backwards. Not Niners, a ten point favorite. 528 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 1: Ten point favorite for the Forts Allegiance Stadium. The site here, overcast, 529 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: temperature in the fifties. Yeah, that's the story. Derek Carr 530 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: has been sent to the googlag. He's gonna be watching 531 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: the game with Danny G on his sofa there. Demoted 532 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: sent home all because Mark Davis wants to save the 533 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: possibility of an injury guarantee. It's like thirty three million 534 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: dollars that the amount of money extra the Raiders would 535 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 1: have to pay if Derek Carr were to get hurt 536 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 1: the last couple of games, and they clearly have decided 537 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: he's not gonna be on the team next year, so 538 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: they don't want to deal with that nonsense. And the 539 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: Raiders will play Jared Stidham the last couple of games 540 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: of the year, and that is what's known in in 541 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: my world as a white flag situation. They'll flag us 542 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: up for the Raiders. They're thrown in the sponge. Uh 543 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: that said, I actually I'm take the Raiders in this game. 544 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: And the reason I don't know that this is a 545 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: downgrade between Stidham and Car. We don't know what we're 546 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 1: gonna get from Stidham. We know over the last month 547 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: Derek Carr had six touchdowns and seven interceptions. He wasn't good, Okay, 548 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,399 Speaker 1: So it's not like the Raiders are are benching rich 549 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 1: Gannon in an m v P season. This is not 550 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 1: what's going on here. I am concerned. The one thing 551 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,720 Speaker 1: that scares me. I'm taking the Raiders, though. I'm concerned, Danny, 552 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 1: that the locker room is going to rebel because even 553 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,720 Speaker 1: though Car sucks, the team seem to like him, and 554 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm worried this is gonna be like the Broncos last 555 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 1: week against the Rams, where they just go out there 556 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 1: and get smoked, uh and lose like fifty five, you know, 557 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,840 Speaker 1: fourteen or something like that. But I'm taking the chance 558 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 1: that these guys will be professionals and they'll they want 559 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: to impress the coach because he's gonna be there. There 560 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: By all indications Mark Davis is not gonna blow out 561 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: the coaching staff again, so they'll have some stability on 562 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,839 Speaker 1: the sidelines. Forty Niners will win this game, but they 563 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: will not cover the spread. Forty Niners twenty seven, Raiders eighteen. 564 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: I may need a backdoor cover, but I'll take the 565 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:23,719 Speaker 1: Raiders plus the points going with the Niners, and I 566 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: will say stead him look good running Josh McDaniels offense 567 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 1: in the preseason. Granted that's against a bunch of turds, 568 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: but he still looked efficient running that offense. So it'll 569 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 1: be interesting to see how he does Sunday. I think 570 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: the Niners will win. I just don't think they'll cover. 571 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: That's a double digit line, so I and almost anytime 572 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 1: you get double digits you take the points. Other than 573 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: the game on Thursday when you had the Tennessee Titans 574 00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: with their high school offense. Alright, Minnesota twelve and three 575 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 1: at green Bay seven and eight. It's on CBS with 576 00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 1: Jim Nance and Tony Romo. This is the big game 577 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: on the CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting Systems, and I'm gonna 578 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 1: take the Vikings. The Packers a three and a half 579 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: point favor in this game. They opened at two and 580 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: a half. I'm taking the Vikings. Most people betting on 581 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: the Packers. Mild temperatures by a green Bay weather at 582 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:23,360 Speaker 1: lambeau Field, mostly cloudy forty two degrees at kick off, 583 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: and the frozen tunterra green Bay thirteen, seven and one 584 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 1: against the spreading games started by Aaron Rodgers. When the 585 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: spread is within a field goal. This is over a 586 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 1: field goal, though it's three and a half. The Packers 587 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,960 Speaker 1: three and oh against the spread their last three games. 588 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: Minnesota oh in three against the number their last three games, 589 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: Vikings one in six their last seven as an underdog. 590 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: But i am gonna take Minnesota. The Packers have been 591 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: living a charmed life here. Three straight wins, including giveaways 592 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 1: that they were they were the beneficiary of Justin Fields 593 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: couple of the mistakes, fourth quarter at Soldier Field three 594 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: weeks ago to a tongue of Bylowa in the fourth 595 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,879 Speaker 1: quarter last week were three consecutive drives, three consecutive interceptions. 596 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: You toss in the Rams who were frozen over once 597 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,479 Speaker 1: they got off the plane from l A at Lambeau Field. 598 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,919 Speaker 1: So everything's going right bending the direction of the Green 599 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: Bay Packers. But I say it ends here. Aaron Rodgers 600 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:29,080 Speaker 1: goes against a Viking wretched past defense ranked in the 601 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: low twenties, close to thirty in the NFL. But we'll 602 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: likely not have Christian Watson. Even if Watson plays how effectively, 603 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: be has got a bad hip, they'll be less than 604 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,319 Speaker 1: And these teams played early in the year Minnesota able 605 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,240 Speaker 1: to get some things done here. This is a field 606 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: goal game, so another one of these games. I feel 607 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:48,919 Speaker 1: like it comes down to the end field goal game 608 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: either way, And if you're getting the three and a half, 609 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:56,319 Speaker 1: which we are, you're gonna win either direction. If the 610 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 1: Vikings win, they win there the underdog. If the Packers 611 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: win by a field goal, you win because the line 612 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 1: is three and a half. So I'll take the Vikings. 613 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: I mean, Minnesota wins outright. Minnesota twenty six and the 614 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers twenty three the final. Penny likes the 615 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,239 Speaker 1: Packers to stay hot, going with green Bay all right, 616 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 1: Penny disagrees with me, going with the Packs Next. Next 617 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: up the Battle of Los Angeles. Ye all, I am. 618 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: It's five and ten the Los Angeles Chargers at nine 619 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: and six Charges going to the playoffs. It's on CBS 620 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: with Spirodida's who lives in Orange County I'm told? And 621 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: Jay Feely and they have the call. The Chargers opened 622 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 1: up a nine point favorite. They are favored by six 623 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: and a half and a lean on the money. The 624 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: handle goes to the Chargers. Temperatures in the fifties at 625 00:38:54,719 --> 00:39:00,040 Speaker 1: kick off at SO five Stadium in l A on 626 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: one day. That's a winter winter, remixed by l A Standards. 627 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 1: Chargers Justin Herbert eight and thirteen as a favorite of 628 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: three or more in his career Rams. They have yet 629 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: to cover against the team or a winning record their 630 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: oh and five against the spread. But I'm taking the Rams. 631 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 1: You can ram it all day, you can ram it 632 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: all night. The Rams are back, baby. They got the 633 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: Baker and it's a Baker's dozen for Baker Mayfield. That 634 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 1: performance was a simpatico performance by Baker against the bron 635 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,800 Speaker 1: because not granted it's because Denver wasn't really interested in playing, 636 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: but man, Danny Gee, I couldn't believe it. I thought 637 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield was at Oklahoma playing like Texas Tech or 638 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: something that was wild. And you have a smirk on 639 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 1: your face as you're saying, all, I don't think he's 640 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 1: that good, But he was that game man, Sean McVeigh. 641 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,840 Speaker 1: This is the great lab experiment for Sean McVeigh to 642 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: see if he's still got the Midas touch. And it's 643 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,239 Speaker 1: a means to an end for the Rams. And they 644 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: don't know whether Stafford's gonna come back next year, even 645 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: though he says he's not retiring. Will he be able 646 00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: to play cam Akers look like Eric Dickerson or or 647 00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 1: Marshall Falk or whoever you want. Oh my god, he 648 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,720 Speaker 1: was great. Uh. And and that is a weak spot 649 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: for the Charge. I actually like the the Rams more 650 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: because of their running game with cam Akers than I 651 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,880 Speaker 1: do because of Baker Mayfield. The weakness and the Charges 652 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 1: is stopping the run. Rams have a little bit of 653 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,319 Speaker 1: extra rest here, and this is a gift from the 654 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,240 Speaker 1: gambling guys I think the Rams win this outright. Charges 655 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 1: already wrapped up a playoff spot Rams thirty Chargers seven, 656 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 1: the final battle Battle of l A smash hit for 657 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield the penny. The penny is also smiling right now, 658 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,759 Speaker 1: going with your lambs all right? The can ram it 659 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 1: all day or ram and all night, all right? Next 660 00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: up Sunday night, Pittsburgh seven and eight at Baltimore ten 661 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:08,080 Speaker 1: and five. It's on and b CE Mike Tarico wearing 662 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 1: his peacock outfit with Chris Consworth and they have the call. 663 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 1: The Ravens opened up a four point favorite, and they 664 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: are favored by two and a half. As Baltimore tries 665 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 1: to catapult their way past Pittsburgh, most people seem to 666 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 1: think the Steelers on the right side. Clear temperatures that 667 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 1: kickoff at MT Bank Stadium, temperature in the mid fifties 668 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 1: in Baltimore for this game. I'm gonna take the Steelers 669 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: in this game. Now, I'm going against John Harbaugh, the 670 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: Ravens fourteen and one, with hardballs, coach straight up at 671 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 1: home versus rookie quarterbacks like Kenny Pickett. But over the 672 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,320 Speaker 1: last month, Pittsburgh they actually have the NFL second ranked 673 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: defense over the last month. They're really balling. Only the 674 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,919 Speaker 1: Chargers defense has been better in terms of yards per game. 675 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: All the indication just have them matching up well with 676 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:07,520 Speaker 1: Baltimore because of injuries. Tyler Huntley the backup quarterback and 677 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 1: start this game. It would appear at the time we 678 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 1: are doing Benny versus the Penny, Lamar Jackson with a 679 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: bad knee. He is still in the twilight zone off 680 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,800 Speaker 1: in the distance there in terms of playing. Lamar Jackson 681 00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,320 Speaker 1: has not practiced for four straight weeks, an entire month. 682 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,800 Speaker 1: He has missed practice. Also, I looked at the Ravens 683 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:34,320 Speaker 1: injury tent Calaius Campbell's got a bad knee, Marcus Peters 684 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 1: a calf injury. They were not on the practice field 685 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 1: this week as well. For the Poets and the Steelers, 686 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:46,760 Speaker 1: the healthier team t J Watt the disruptor in the middle, 687 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: and Kenny pick It will make enough plays to get 688 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: her done. These games almost always come down to the 689 00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:58,320 Speaker 1: very end. I'll take the Steelers nineteen and the Ravens 690 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:08,200 Speaker 1: sixteen the final, and the Penny says the Steelers won't 691 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:12,439 Speaker 1: have Derek Carr throwing passes to them this week going 692 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: with the Ravens alright now next up Monday Night Football. 693 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,479 Speaker 1: This is the only game this weekend that has two 694 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: teams with a winning record matched up against each other. 695 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,080 Speaker 1: So this is the main event and it's not until 696 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 1: Monday Night. Everything else's milk toasts compared to this game. 697 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:36,800 Speaker 1: As the Buffalo wagon rolls into the NATI Buffalo twelve 698 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 1: and three, Cincinnati eleven and four. It's on ESPN with 699 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 1: the Fox refugees Joe Buck and Troy Aikman as they 700 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,760 Speaker 1: bring all the Dow hickeys with them there to Cincinnati. 701 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 1: The Bills opened up a one and a half point favorite, 702 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,360 Speaker 1: and that game now a pick them on Monday Night Football. 703 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: So not for the faith of heart. This game a 704 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,800 Speaker 1: game designed for the penny, a pick up game, Bengals 705 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: getting slightly more money at Paul Brown Stadium, cloudy fifty 706 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,040 Speaker 1: two degrees that kick off and a chance of rain 707 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: during the game as Joe Burrow thirty one and eleven 708 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 1: against the spread one not favored by more than a 709 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:25,880 Speaker 1: touchdown and Burrow and the Bengals have covered seven straight 710 00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 1: games as an underdog, including the playoffs last season. Cincinnati, 711 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,480 Speaker 1: those seven straight covers that's tied for the longest streak 712 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:38,799 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl era. Bengals are twelve and one 713 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 1: against the spread their last thirteen games, and they are 714 00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 1: twenty and three against the spread their last twenty three games, 715 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: including the postseason last year. That is quite the role 716 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,280 Speaker 1: I say it continues here. I'm gonna take the Bengals 717 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:57,520 Speaker 1: in this game. It is a showcase game in the NFL, 718 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,160 Speaker 1: a couple of heavyweights in the a f C. As 719 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,840 Speaker 1: they d get out mono a mono. There is a 720 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 1: key injury here, Cincinnati losing right tackle Lall Collins to 721 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:13,640 Speaker 1: a torn knee, and so that popped the tire for 722 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: the Bengals on the turnpike. Here, it's next man up 723 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 1: to protect Joe Burrow. The Bills, they are still dealing 724 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,759 Speaker 1: with the cracked windshield of Vaughan Miller, who's out for 725 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: the year on defense, So that really ex is out 726 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,680 Speaker 1: each other. You've got a key lineman out for Cincinnati, 727 00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 1: key pass rusher out for Buffalo. The Bills pass rush 728 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,880 Speaker 1: has not been nearly as efficient of late, and Buffalo 729 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 1: has been a very good team when the spread is 730 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,880 Speaker 1: either plus three two minus. Through their fifteen five and 731 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 1: two against the spread, but I'm gonna take Joe Burrow 732 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,919 Speaker 1: and the Bengals to edge it out. This game will 733 00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,560 Speaker 1: go back and forth and back and forth, and in 734 00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 1: the end, the ben Gals will stand to top the 735 00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: Mountain Bengals twenty seven Bills twenty four the final, and 736 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,080 Speaker 1: the Penny says, you will end the weekend on a 737 00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:19,399 Speaker 1: low going with the Bills. Boo who who? All right? 738 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,799 Speaker 1: That is it for Benny versus the Penny. Good luck. 739 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 1: Remember practice responsible gambling, don't bet every game like we do. 740 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:31,359 Speaker 1: Pick your spots and have fun and we'll see how 741 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 1: we do.
