I made sure to look 0:00:38.200 --> 0:00:41.159 this up pre podcast. We are in a waxing crescent 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.520 moon right now. The moon has been the most profitable 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.800 thing about this show so far. We are changing the 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:51.159 name of our three leg parlay as well, the Three Musketeers. 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:55.560 We'll be put six feet under after today. But Kendra, 0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.400 any moon angles before we get off and running. We 0:00:58.440 --> 0:00:59.600 got a lot of good stuff today. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:00.960 No moon angles. 0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:02.920 People hate it on me so much for the moon angle. 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.560 I'm not a moon gambler, but I thought that I 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:09.360 love like a silly little reason to bet on something, 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.240 and that's what I took from that. It worked out 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.600 for me, no doubt. I will continue to have silly 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.880 little he he haha. Angles from here, but I love 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:19.440 something stupid to bet on. So here we are no moon, 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.320 no moon bets for me. But the moon Beats are 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.680 not dead. Do not We're not They're not in They're 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:24.320 not in beat jail. 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:24.920 They'll be back. 0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.920 I'm so a little surprised that we don't have some 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.080 sort of and maybe we'll think of one before the 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.800 end of the episode. We've got three ideas that we 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.800 like as far as what to name our three leg parlay. 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.800 We each nominate two picks and then go around the 0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:41.480 horn and then whittle that down one apiece is what 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:42.160 we've been doing. 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:43.319 Only one of. 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.920 The legs has hit so far in the two weeks 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.640 that we've done this. I think we probably should shoehorn 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:54.000 some sort of Moon reference because of how well that 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:56.680 played out last week with Jared Goff. So something to 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.640 think about. Thursday's shows loaded up. We're gonna start with 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.600 the shrimp unbelievable stat of the Week courtesy of Action 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.880 Network Director of Research Evan Abrams.

So my question is, well, 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.240 I have two questions. One, out of all the places 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:50.200 you've ever visited in your life, where would you go 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.960 if you had to go back to one and you 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.680 had a free, like all expenses paid trip. 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.799 Where are you choosing, Kendre. 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:01.360 I'll start with you, Havar, Croatia. Next question, the best 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:02.720 place I've ever been? 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:06.680 Like one sentence about it. 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.720 Yeah, okay, it was okay. 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.320 It changed how I eat Prosudo. I can't eat Proshuto 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.120 the same way it is. The treffle Prosudo and wine. 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:19.440 They're so good, so cheap. The beaches are incredible, The 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.959 nightlife is awesome. They have like a private island where 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:23.639 you get on like you pay twenty bucks to get 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.120 on a boat and then you go in. There's a 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.080 club and they have some of the best DJs in 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:28.799 the world, and then you boat back when you're hammered 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:30.200 at the end of the night, which can get a 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.680 little dicey after a night of drinking, but the food's 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:34.040 really good. 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:36.960 Havar h v Ar. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.800 Is that you're like Split or dun. 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:44.280 So Deic is like a little it's like one of 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.320 the islands off the coast. Split is like obviously like 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:48.840 a little bit more north and inward. 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.440 But you could definitely hit Dubrovnik. 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.040 I think I took like an hour and a half 0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:54.560 boat from Dubrevnick to Havar and you can just island 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.000 hop it's the best. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:57.000 Got it? 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:02.640 Yeah, Gracias on my list to go to. I've been 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.600 fortunate enough to travel to a lot of places. My 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:08.640 easy answer for this is the Galopagos Islands. That's the 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.760 craziest place I've ever been to. You gotta go to 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:12.640 Ecuador first. I mean it is in Necdor. You gotta 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.000 go to mainline Ecuador. You gotta get like checked. You 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:16.600 can't bring any plastics. 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.240 You can't bring any plastic. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:19.360 Yeah, they like. 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.080 Search all your things. You can't bring any seeds. There's 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.640 no plastics on the island, so like it's a serious check. 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.760 What do you do about sunscreen stuff? 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:31.120 They have like special sunscreen there you can buy. 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.960 And I you go to Keto first. Keto was pretty cool. 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:36.000 We were there when like one of the we were 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.360 staying right by the presidential palace and one of the 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:43.960 guys running for president was assassinated and I got to 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:45.560 I woke up. I got an email from the State 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.800 Department there like don't go outside of voyage, dude, I'm 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:50.400 right by the presidential palace. 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.039 But yeah, we went to. 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:56.080 Then we went to the Galapgos Islands for ten days, 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.600 stayed in a bunch of the islands. Coolest place are 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.680 be into no animals or not, I'm afraid of you. 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.359 The coolest experience I ever had happened in the Galapagoes. 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:07.400 I swam with us like a group of baby sea 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.479 lions like snorkeling, and they were just playing with me. 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.240 And then the big mom came and just like looked 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.360 swim these big sea turtles like none of the animals 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:18.960 are afraid of you. Like you would just there would 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:20.760 be like a you'd be sitting on a bench and 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:23.400 like a seal would PLoP up on the bench next 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:23.640 to you. 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:27.440 Oh my god, I jumped to the top of my 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.320 list because I'm such an animal person. I went to 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:33.120 Costa Rica lat An animal. Yeah, I'm the biggest. 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.080 I mean, I am getting a spider and I am 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.840 breeding shrimp right now. So yes, yeah, it. 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:42.040 Is an insane place. Even the birds, the boobies, the 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.640 blue foot of boobies. That it's it's a magical place. 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:47.240 So that would be my. 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.800 I didn't even know you could visit the Galapago, so 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:53.479 I just thought that that was something in the Darwin 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:54.039 Road about. 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.080 I didn't know that this was. This was. 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.000 Yeah, there's a bunch of islands you can stay on. 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:02.360 There's like hotels, there's some really nice and we stay 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:03.800 in this one hotel on one of the islands. Like 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:07.760 we had the top floor and it was like all 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:11.720 open and like these enormous birds would just you could 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.120 sit on your deck and they would fly and it 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.000 was all open on the water. Oh my god, it 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:19.599 was crazy. But yeah, that's like the little towns are cool. 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:25.320 So yeah, that was incredible. How about you, Brandon, what 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:25.880 are you choosing? 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.760 It's it's a tough choice. I mean, my cheesy answer 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.880 for a betting podcast would be Las Vegas. I've been 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.839 there twice, two completely different experiences. I went there on 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:39.719 a non bachelor party. My my friend was set to 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.039 get married. I planned his bachelor party. I was the 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.960 best man. His fiance cheated on him right before the 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:48.479 wedding and right before we left for the trip. So 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.520 just imagine what that was like in Las Vegas, the 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.600 non bachelor party where you are playing by no rules 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.360 at that point with a very angry individual. 0:06:58.839 --> 0:06:59.440 Rightfully so. 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.240 And then I also went on a work trip through 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.719 one of my other freelance partners, So two. 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.440 Completely different experiences, both great. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.479 Still haven't gone there with my wife, so I think 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.000 that that would be like the third leg of how 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.040 to Appreciate Las Vegas, to do the shows and all 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:19.720 that stuff. But Jamaica I've also done twice. That's an 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:26.280 incredible place. So I've I met Vanessa Lache, which is 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:31.000 really random, at some outdoor beach party. She was drunk, 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:36.640 very funny individual. But the food there is tremendous. The 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.160 jerk chicken I could eat all day. 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:42.880 Yeah, I've been Costa Rica is really cool. 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.800 Okay, it's expensive and overrated. 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:48.920 I stayed in a resort when out the Costa Rica. 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.559 Been there are other times, but I stated like the 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:57.320 Secrets all inclusive resort, which was pretty cool. The but yeah, 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.600 I mean, I've been to Vegas hundred times. If you 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:00.880 ever go to, I guess either one of you or 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:03.120 anyone else out there. Every year I'll put out this 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.320 huge list most underrated food city. If you like know 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:09.680 the right people, even off the strip, I can give 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.920 you a whole list by category of food of all that, 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:14.679 and it changes every year or too, because it depending 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.080 on where the chef's move. But I know a couple 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.480 people in the food industry there, so. 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.240 I'll be there for the Grand Prix. 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.640 Hit me up, I will, yeah, I'll give you a list. 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.640 I'll tweet that out soon, an updated list of all 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.880 all of the restaurants there. But I'll save I'll save 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.840 my next question for the next podcast. 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:33.200 Okay, I got you know. 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.800 I kind of like this tradition now because Stucky Stucky 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.400 comes out left field with these questions, So that's definitely 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:42.800 entering the rundown moving forward, But let's hit the shrimply 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.360 unbelievable stat of the week. 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.439 Last fifteen years, we've had. 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:48.520 Seven teams who have had a wining total of ten 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.640 or more in the preseason fall to one in three 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:54.760 straight up, none of which have made the playoffs. The 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:59.160 two teams that could end up fitting this mold would 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:03.000 be Kansas and Baltimore. They play each other on Sunday. 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:05.520 The Chiefs are minus two hundred to make the playoffs 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:09.280 plus one sixty to miss over at DraftKings. The Ravens 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.480 are minus twelve hundred to make the playoffs plus two 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.000 hundred to miss. Are you willing to take a shot 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.959 on either of those to miss the playoffs right now? 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:22.880 As it stands? And perhaps the better question is, is Sunday's 0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.480 game and an elimination game? 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:26.679 Stuck you? Where are you at on this? 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.760 No, it's not an elimination game, but I mean teams 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:32.880 at start zero and three only only historically made a 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:38.000 playoffs one percent of the time. But if I had 0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.679 a bet one of those teams to not make it, it 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.880 would be the Chiefs. I can't bet the Ravens this weekend. 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.680 They have too many injuries, like I still don't know 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.040 unlikely recards, so their offense isn't the same. Their guards 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:51.840 are struggling and then defensively without Van Noy without Matabuke, 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:53.360 who might be out for an extended period of time. 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:54.920 They got to go get someone they got a trade for, 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:58.080 like Dexter Lawrence or someone. Their defensive line, their whole 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:01.120 defensive line didn't practice yesterday, is in shambles. They can't 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.280 stop the run, they can't get pressure. It's a mess 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:05.880 right now in a short week. So I can't bet 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.599 them here as a two and a half point road favorite. 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.640 But if I had to take a shot, I would 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:17.680 go no on the Chiefs just because I think the 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:22.640 Chiefs are a worst team number one, and I know 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:24.520 they're probably going to get Rice and Worthy back and 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:27.080 have them both back, but their division is tougher, like 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.560 there's no burrow for the Bengals. I don't think the 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:32.240 Steelers are any good. And then the Browns, so like 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.839 the Ravens, have a much easier path, whereas the Chargers 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.959 already beat the Chiefs, already have a game in hand. 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:42.480 You know, you have the Broncos, who are a pretty 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.760 good team with a wind total that was around nine 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:46.800 and a half. I think the Raiders that they can 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:48.199 figure out their offensive line and. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:48.559 Some of the. 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.760 Some of the coaching stuff that has gone Awrye. They're 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.559 not going to be an easy out, so that division, 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.640 I think is much tougher, which might make the path 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.840 a little more difficult for the Chiefs, who are I 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.280 think a worse team than the Ravens, but the Vodomart 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:07.800 to get healthy. But I don't think it's a must 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:11.040 win for either. But you don't want to be one 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:13.120 and three. It's not you don't have worm Ferrari, you 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.120 don't your margin for Eric. It's much thinner, like if 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.960 you have injuries, and like you can't it'll every game 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:19.240 then becomes even more critical. 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.880 I actually gave out in August on my other show 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:28.200 casey to miss the playoffs, uh, and people called me 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:30.839 a dei higher and stupid, and I have all of 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:34.240 their comments saved, locked and loaded, ready for that to happen. 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:36.200 I do kind of think it's a must win of 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:40.120 for Kansas City just because their divisions a lot tougher. 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.160 Like Stucky said, I think Baltimore is going to be fine. 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.720 That division is not as strong, in my opinion, as 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.960 it has been in recent years. I do think that 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.080 they'll be okay even if they lose this game, but 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.400 it's borderline must win for the Chiefs. 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.079 Yeah, it does feel like their back is up against it. 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.680 And I originally when this line came out, and even 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.280 before or we saw the Lions run up and down 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:03.920 the field on the Ravens, it felt like this is 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:08.280 going to be a chief spot home Underdog, Patrick Mahomes, 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:10.080 Andy Reid, all of those things that we've said one 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.960 hundred times already. I just can't pull the trigger on it. 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.080 I don't trust this Chiefs team enough. The way that 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:19.240 they're currently composed, and and the fact that the Ravens 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:23.600 got run out of the building makes this feel like, 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:25.680 you know, almost a Ravens spot. 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:27.960 I just the Ravens are a far better team. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.160 Derreck Henry has fumble issues, yes, but can the Chiefs 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:34.240 offensively keep up with Baltimore? I just don't think that 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.959 they can. So I think I'm gonna sit on the 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:38.160 sidelines for that game, and. 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:40.880 It's okay to pass. You're going to get the best 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.240 effort of both both staffs. Both like it's I do 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:47.080 think it's an elimination for the one seed. Both teams 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.080 are already behind the eight ball, especially with the Ravens 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.880 who already lost to the Bills, who have an easy schedule, 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.760 easy division, but either one of these teams starts one 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:59.960 and three, you can pretty much kiss home field advantage 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.719 through out the playoffs goodbye, which is obviously ubercritical in 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:03.280 the AFC. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:05.240 I'm all over the Ravens this week. 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.400 So you're all in on Baltimore? 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.880 Yeah, I thinks for you, Yeah, I think this is 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:11.640 Baltimore spot. We talked about it the other day. I 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.720 figured you guys would be all in on once again 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.880 the Patrick Mahomes dog at home angle. 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.720 But I think that this is a great spot for Baltimore. 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:22.560 And do I want to play in Kansas City against 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.640 Patrick Mahomes when he really needs win, No, absolutely not. 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.600 But the Baltimore offense, I don't see Dereck Henry fumbling 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.520 this week. Their offense is lights out. Obviously their defense 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.440 can make some improvements. But the thing is is that 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.920 the Chiefs, they're not healthy. They don't have the weapons 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.800 to keep up with them right now. I get the 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.679 home field advantage thing, the Patrick Mahomes angle, all of it, 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:45.800 but Baltimore is the best team in the league right 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:48.199 now in my opinion. When everybody plays to their strengths, 0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.440 plays to what they're capable of, and I just don't 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.560 see them coming off of the schedule that they've had 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:53.679 and losing this game. 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.200 Where are we at on Metabouque because that was huge 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.480 on Monday Night. I don't think that the Chiefs are 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.160 good enough running the football, but Checko has been terrible, 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.320 Kareem Hunt's been bad. I don't think they're good enough 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.520 to take advantage of that absence, but it would still 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:11.480 be big because if the Chiefs can run, then I 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.439 would feel a whole lot better about backing them. I'm 0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:16.120 gonna lay off of the game. But where are we 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:18.080 at in terms of the middle of that defense? Stuckey, 0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:19.240 We don't. 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:20.760 The whole d line is hurt so and we don't 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.720 know the ominous updates from Harbo who said he's out 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:27.960 this week. He doesn't know, so people are People in 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.200 Baltimore are thinking that it could be a long term thing, 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:33.240 so that might have to be addressed with a signing 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:34.200 or a trade. 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.240 So we'll see TVD. 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.320 Update on the quarterbacks. Some of the real line movers 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.440 out there. Jackson Dart is going to get the start 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:42.880 ahead of Russell Wilson. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:43.480 In New York. 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:47.640 They take on the undefeated Chargers on Sunday. I want 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:50.120 to bet the Giants here. I'll save my reasoning for 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.560 the back end of the episode, because they're one that 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.200 I'm going to pitch to you guys. The most heavily 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.880 bet games this week so far. Of course, one of 0:14:59.880 --> 0:15:01.320 the them is going to be this one. I think 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.120 anytime the Giants are involved, that's going to be the case. 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:08.240 But John Harball seems to be getting a lot of 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.880 action one of the most heavily big games Chargers, Giants. 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.560 Everybody seems to be in on Harball. Any hesitation backing 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.600 the rook here for you, Kendra. 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.040 It almost got to the window on this game just 0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:24.960 because of Harbaugh against rookie quarterbacks. But with that combined 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:27.080 with I think that the locker room really is going 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.960 to rally behind Jackson. I think that the Giants defense 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.400 has played really well in the last couple of weeks. 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:34.360 I think that that's the saving grace of that team. 0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:39.280 Russ really really screwed them over last week. It seems 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.440 like they were getting stops getting off the field that 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.320 whole bit, giving them opportunities to go ahead. I think 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.720 that this rallies that team a little bit. Numbers two big, 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.960 don't love the harball against rookie quarterback angle so close 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:52.200 to getting there for me. If this line moved a 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.680 little bit more, potentially, I just I don't think I 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.440 can touch it. I was telling Gifford before we got. 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.080 On the show. 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:03.880 The spreads this week are just way, way, way too huge. 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.360 Not my favorite betting week. This everything feels yucky, way 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:07.960 too big. 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:09.200 I'm not having a good time. 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:11.480 We've seen a lot of line moves as well. One 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:13.760 of the things to monitor with that Giants game is 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.960 Malik Neighbors did not practice. I don't know how serious 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:18.880 that issue is, but if he doesn't play, that would 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.040 be huge. Andrew Thomas has been in and out of 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.680 the lineup, he was limited, and the Giants still have 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.280 kicker issues as well, So there are reasons to be 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:29.200 concerned outside of the Giants just not being overall a 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.800 good football team. But it does seem like if you 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.760 end up on the Chargers, just know public Joe over 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.920 here if you do that, because the public's going to 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:41.520 be all over the La Chargers. Carson Wentz undefeated overseas, 0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.640 He's won to oh. He takes on Aaron Rodgers, who 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.360 has never won a game across the pond zero and 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:47.320 two for him. 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:49.600 Are we sitting this one out? This has been all 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:51.360 Vikings money so far. Stucky. 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.520 Yeah, it regards to the Giants, I highlight the Giants. 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.840 I'm waiting on the neighbors news. Thomas is just resting. 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:58.600 I think he'll be a full go. He looked great 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:00.440 in the first half. He's just on a snap count. 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.040 The Charters have three offensive linemen or DMPs yesterday in 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.080 practice that could potentially ruin the game for them. 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:09.520 But I'm waiting. 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.240 It's at six and a half. I'm going to see 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.080 if a seven pops want monitor the injury reports, watch 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.280 the market, But I think I will be on the Giants. 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.879 Winless teams as dogs in this range of historically performed 0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:20.320 really well. Now, a lot of variants in this game 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:21.840 because we don't know we're gonna get from Dark, but 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.359 it's gonna be better than Russ and they're gonna have 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.199 at least had a kicker. They signed young, could all 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:27.640 have a kicker that's healthy. They didn't have a kicker 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:32.159 against the Chiefs cost them multiple scores. So yeah, I 0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.640 think the uncertainty with Dark too, like the Charters don't 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:36.160 know what they're gonna get like how much we're kind 0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:38.240 of read options and what's everything going to look like? 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.880 So that could work in the giants favor. So yeah, 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.240 with the Chargers offensive line injuries, they might not be 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:46.679 able to block New York and they really crumbled their 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:48.880 offense last week after those guys went out against Denver, 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:51.720 and the Giants have a similar front. In regards to 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:57.240 the Vikings, I did play the Vikings. I think here, Look, 0:17:57.440 --> 0:17:59.960 the Vikings are much healthier. They should get their offensive 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.840 line except for Jackson at guard back healthy. They're gonna 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:05.240 get Addison back Wentz I think is an upgrade over 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:09.040 McCarthy as I alluded to last week. And then defensively, 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.399 they're fairly healthy. The Steelers are not dealing with a 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:15.199 lot of injuries. The Steelers should be owen three, like really, 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:16.760 they should be owing three, and this line would be 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.800 up over a field goal. Here's here's how I think 0:18:19.800 --> 0:18:24.200 it plays out. Steelers have a very predictable single high defense, 0:18:24.440 --> 0:18:27.240 like they're running that like sixty sixty five seventy percent 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:30.080 of the time. That's not what you don't want to 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.040
