Speaker 1: We will review the faves five picks we put into

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: the contest di sect, why we left some games out, fascinating,

7
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: fascinating conversations Simon and I had in the noon hour

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: before we finalized our picks. We're gonna preview the lines

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: we like for week eight. I'm joined as always by

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: the mentioned co host companion Campadre BFF Professional Better Simed

11
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: Hunter Ella Simed. Hello, Chad, dude, a fascinating, fascinating day.

12
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna break it down. But before the early games,

13
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: there was a run on betting the Niners. When they

14
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: were favored by one and a half, it got up

15
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: to two. It got up to two and a half

16
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: at a lot of books. The number also moved in

17
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: the contest right, So for anybody listening, you can make

18
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: contest picks anytime during the week, but if you decide

19
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: to make a change, you got to change all your numbers.

20
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 2: I have been hesitating on.

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: The Chiefs from a math perspective and a team health perspective.

22
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: To me, it just didn't make sense to bet them

23
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: at less than the key number of two. Simon didn't care.

24
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: Simon was headstrong that betting against Patrick Mahomes in this spot.

25
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what anything says in the box score

26
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: or what any injuries are existing for the team. You

27
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: just bet Patrick Mahomes is a dog or a short favorite.

28
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: So on Sunday morning, we did something.

29
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: We never do.

30
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: We made a flurry of last second changes to our picks,

31
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: all in service of getting the Chiefs at plus two

32
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: and a half half. How did it impact us? Let's

33
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: find out. And by the way, if you believe you

34

Speaker 1: older and present in Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, North Carolina,

50
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, we're eighteen and older. In Kentucky,

51
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: gambling problem call one eight hundred gambler or one eight

52
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: hundred bets off. In Iowa terms, conditions restrictions apply, all right.

53
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: So when we decided we wanted to get the Chiefs

54
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: in at plus two and a half, we had to

55
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: go with all the updated lines. As I mentioned before,

56
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: at that point, the Packers, who we had been leaning

57
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: towards all week, we're now at three and a half,

58
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: not the two and a half that we had lucked in.

59
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: We took out the packers. Great trade. Better to get

60
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: the number on the Chiefs. So and we will get

61
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: to this, so don't say anything yet, Simon, because my

62
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: bff here loved, loved, loved the Giants. He wanted them

63
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: in so bad he tried to get me to take them.

64
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: Unconvinced me. All week long. I had been saying, I

65
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: don't trust this team. I don't trust the team. Without

66
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: Andrew Thomas, zero packed protection, they can't score at home.

67
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: Simon insisted we will discuss. He will defend in a moment.

68
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: Here's a crazy stat from Evan that he gave on

69
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: convince me this morning. Catch it live on YouTube and

70
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: in the Action Network app. Heading into today, overall road

71
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: teams sixty one percent against the spread this season, second

72
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: best win percentage through seven weeks in the Wildcard era.

73
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: That's since nineteen ninety. Today, road teams against the spread

74
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: seven and three. Also, road favorites are undefeated since week

75
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: five fifteen and oh, road faves.

76
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: Since week five.

77
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: That is insane. Today they went to and oh about

78
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: the Bengals and the Eagles covered as road faves. We

79
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: of course, were on the other side of both of

80
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: those games. Let's start with Cincinnati and Cleveland. One of

81
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: those games. You know, Look, the way it started was

82
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: exactly as we expected it to start. Simon like wighs

83
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: good and bad. You know, the Bengals run the opening

84
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: kickback for a touchdown. The Browns defense was awesome. They

85
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: were in the Bengals backfield. They were stopping Joe Burrow

86
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: on third down, stopping on the run. The Bengals could

87
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: not score. The only thing was, of course, the missed

88
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: field goal by the Browns. As soon as that happened,

89
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: we knew it was terrible.

90
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: But then the Browns are driving.

91
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson doesn't look terrible, drops back, moves forward, ruptures

92
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: his achilles and I don't know if you saw this,

93
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: but watching it on slow motion, I've never seen what

94
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: the injury looks like. And they had the perfect angle

95
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: where the bot his heel just dropped like he steps.

96
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: You see it snap. You see the heel drop when

97
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: it should not be dropping.

98
00:05:59,240 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: It was.

99
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: It was disconcerting and uncomfortable. I don't know what you

100
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: were thinking.

101
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 3: Then it's the worst. It makes my skin crawl even

102
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 3: here and you talk about it. Yeah, it's one of

103
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: my biggest fears. I'm one of those people where it's

104
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 3: like every time my leg's a little tight, I'm like,

105
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: oh my god, that is tearing my achilles. So now

106
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: you're right that that was probably his best drive of

107
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 3: the season. Honestly, that's how bad he's been. He was

108
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: making good throws driving down the field, and yeah, got

109
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 3: bit by the injury bug.

110
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 2: It was. And I felt like we had a little

111
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: bit of a shot.

112
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: In that game because I thought they were playing really

113
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: well and their defense was lights out. It was I mean,

114
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm i it was a super bummer. And then Dorian

115
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: Thompson Robinson comes in, makes a good sort of throw

116
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: to the outside shoulder of the receiver, gets the call

117
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: for pass interference.

118
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: They're on the one.

119
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: Of course, like they get called for a legal formation

120
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: or whatever, so they back it up, but they still

121
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: go for it, and then they missed the extra point.

122
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just we talked about before the show, when

123
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: he missed that fieldgal in the first half and they

124
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 3: get a kick return, you're already down ten now with

125
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 3: a dog Usually it's really tough to come back from that.

126
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: And you know, I don't know what happened, but they

127
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 3: made Jameis Winston their third quarterback and end up coming

128
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: at end of the game actually giving us a chance

129
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: at giving the back door still thank you, Jamis. But yeah,

130
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 3: just it's bad, like we're having this bad luck on

131
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: these home dogs. Things are just that's why you take

132
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 3: these dogs. So you have stupid bounces in football, and

133
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 3: they usually bounce the way of the dog, I mean

134
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: historically long term. Like I said, that's why you want

135
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: to make these bets. So the reason I want to

136
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: take Cleveland the same reason I want to take the Giants.

137
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: It's like, at worst I thought we would go one

138
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: on one. I thought we had a really good chance

139
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 3: of going to and out where it's like I like

140
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: these spots. We're getting good point value. Both these teams

141
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 3: coming in are a little bit overrated and a little

142
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 3: shakey offensively, and both teams are boom and busts. And

143
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 3: we saw that, like the Eagles had a couple of

144
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: big boom plays that worked out from same with Cincinnati. Right,

145
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: Cincinnati's offense, like you said, they didn't do much. Brown's

146
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 3: defense did pretty good. And you know, I was filing

147
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: pretty good going to half, even though we had lost Watson.

148
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: It was seven to six, like they just got to

149
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: keep this in arm's length and he had fortunately a

150
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 3: couple of bad turnovers. You know, twenty one to six

151
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: that Brown's bet was dead.

152
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a key play. I think the Browns

153
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: were in field goal range, had a fourth and one,

154
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: and I said to my kid sitting next to me

155
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: on the couch, you got to run the RPO like

156
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: Dorian Thompson. Robinson had been having his way with running

157
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: the ball in that game. Why they drop him back?

158
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: Why they don't give him the option to run? He's

159
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: so fast. The Bengals still had not been able to

160
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: really adjust for or a different kind of quarterback in

161
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 1: the game. You gotta go one freaking yard and you

162
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: got Nick chub like, let him make the play at

163
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: the point of contact with the running back.

164
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: You you're with me right like? It didn't make it

165
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: any Like. I'm an idiot.

166
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about football, and I knew that

167
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: the most common play right now, that every running quarterback,

168
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: that every athletic quarterback, that even non athletic quarterbacks run,

169
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: is an r PO. And Kevin Stefanski, who I love,

170
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: does not call an RPO.

171
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: That's you. You deserve what you get in that spot.

172
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: That's how I view it.

173
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 2: Good.

174
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad we agree mentioned the Giants. You insisted we

175
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: had the Giants plus three and a half. Yeah, all

176
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: week you tried to tempt me.

177
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: You didn't. Bully, Definitely I.

178
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: Got you, though, I eventually got you come around the under.

179
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: But you did and and I appreciate that. I mean,

180
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: this game was dreadful to start, like, just sacks on

181
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: every single both.

182
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 3: Sides are just That's why I thought it was going

183
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: to be just an ugly, sloppy like game. But the

184
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 3: Giants quickly learned. The difference of the game was the

185
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: guy that got rid of Barkley. He was a game changer, right.

186
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: I think he had one hundred and sixty yards rushing.

187
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: More than that?

188
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 3: Did he really look it up?

189
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 2: Right now?

190
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: He had more than that? I think he said a record.

191
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: He's already the leading rusher in the history of the Meadowlands.

192
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: I think he had like one hundred and seventy five

193
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: yards rushing.

194
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was a bad bet. And like again,

195
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: it's a game where the things when we need to

196
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: bounce our way just didn't. I think it was a

197
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 3: fourth and three, you know, Hurts throws a bomb. Aj

198
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: Browns was a touchdown on a fourth down, you know.

199
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones finally puts a good drive together, they score

200
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: a touchdown, his first touchdown in six hundred days passing

201
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 3: in the meadowlands. They call it back on offensive pass interference.

202
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: It was just, yeah, the little thing that we need

203
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: to go ourway to not and yeah, I'm just getting

204
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 3: burned right now in these home divisional dogs, like I

205
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 3: love taking home dogs, and man, it is not coming around.

206
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley had one hundred and seventy six yards rushing,

207
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: and you the Giants' defense has been playing lights out.

208
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: And before the season, we all sort of thought that

209
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: the coverage unit for the Giants was going to be terrible.

210
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: They haven't been. We didn't know what the pass rush

211
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: is going to be. They've been amazing, leading the league

212
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: in sacks.

213
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I.

214
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: Feel terrible for this Giants defensive unit because they are

215
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: playing lights out. They really are. They're playing amazing. They

216
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: are getting less than help from their office. They're getting

217
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: negative help. They're getting the opposite of help. They're getting

218
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: like the defense is actually made. The offense is making

219
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: it much much harder for them, right, and at some

220
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: point they're gonna break, Like they they barely gave up

221
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: the big plays in the first half, there were two

222
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: of them to Saque and then like you meant mentioned

223
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: the fourth and three from Jalen Hurst to AJ Brown,

224
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: Like they're not going to be perfect, but the Giants

225
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: offense is terrible, can't do anything. It's so it's so frustrating, dude,

226
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: it's so frustrating. At one point in the middle of

227
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: the second quarter, the Giants had been sacked four times

228
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: and they had four touchdowns, I mean four first downs,

229
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: four first downs, not touchdowns.

230
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 3: Right right right, Yeah, again, it's it's a bad read,

231
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 3: but this is this is life betting ugly dogs. So

232
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 3: it's like, I agree with everything you said, but it's

233
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: just it's just brutal where we can't catch breaks right

234
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 3: now in these ugly dogs and it's like the only

235
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: thing hitting for us is chalk, Like we're vetting. You know,

236
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: normally I wouldn't loved that Lions line, but we just

237
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 3: kept talking about something was off with that line. So

238
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: it's just, you know, another week of the bets that

239
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 3: we usually win we lose, and the chalky bets we

240
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 3: make that we usually are a little scared to even make.

241
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 3: They're no brain or hitters right now, Like it's just

242
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: chalk is king and we kind of need to adjust

243
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: to it. So yeah, hopefully that ends with the Bucks

244
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 3: on Monday night.

245
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Evan, if you could look this up real fast, I'd

246
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: love to know and just throw it in the chat.

247
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: How is the public doing this week? We know they

248
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: crushed last week, Simon and I won with the public.

249
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: We're winning today again with the public. Detroit was a

250
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: public side, The Chiefs were a public side, The Bills

251
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: were a public side. I think those were three of

252
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: the bigger public sides this week. But I'd love to know, like,

253
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: are we headed for another regression? Is it two weeks

254
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: in a row that were sort of The public is

255
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: cashing on a regular basis, much more than they had

256
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: been in the past.

257
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 2: Remember the first five.

258
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: Weeks of the year, the public had been doing historically bad,

259
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: so obviously there was going to be some regression, But

260
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: how much is too much at this point? Just to

261
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: close the book on the Giants, Daniel Jones threw for

262
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: ninety nine yards, which is less than four point seven

263
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: yards per attempt. They had one hundred and nineteen total

264
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: yards in the game, and they were sacked eight times

265
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: and Daniel Jones was pulled for Drew freaking lock. You

266
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: know it's a lock that your bet has lost when

267
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: Drew Locke enters the chap. Imagine being John Marra, the

268
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: owner of the Giants and the GM for the Giants,

269
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: knowing that the story of the summer was them on.

270
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 2: Whatever that's show is called that I can't remember, Hard Knocks,

271
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: Hard Knocks, and the.

272
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: Whole first couple episodes are about keeping Saquon, letting him go,

273
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: and the owner being like.

274
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: He's the most popular player.

275
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be really disappointed if he's in the division,

276
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: in the division, one hundred and seventy six touchdowns, domination

277
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: station makes.

278
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: The Eagles look healthy.

279
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 3: No, he's incredible.

280
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: Detroit plus one and a half at Minnesota, we had

281
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: it and this one was going so well for us

282
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: and for me, like we were all in on Detroit,

283
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: never waivered.

284
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: That's the way to win.

285
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 2: Man.

286
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 3: Now you're figuring it out. Now we're figuring it out.

287
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 3: That's outstanding, gentlemen.

288
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: Oh, I was on the over, never even close to

289
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: not covering. I was on Jared goff over twenty three

290
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: and a half completions. Crunner had given it out at

291
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: twenty two and a half. I barely missed the best

292
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: of the number and look, after a sluggish start, I

293
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: thrilled because the Lions they came roaring back.

294
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 3: It has been years since the Detroit crowd has been

295
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 3: this excited about the Lions. Talk about restoring the roar.

296
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: Listen to him.

297
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: They were up twenty one to ten and a half.

298
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: Jared Goff continued his hot streak of not even throwing incompletions.

299
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: True story, Simon at halftime, I bet Jared Goff seventeen

300
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: to one to win MVP.

301
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 3: So go ahead and apologize to Detroit fans right now

302
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: because we are career enders this year. Chat everyone we

303
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 3: bet on dies.

304
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: I mean, look we had It's not true.

305
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: It's true we had. How bad luck we are, so

306
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 3: I wouldn't even said anything. You better be.

307
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: Careful getting the number one seed gets hurt.

308
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 3: Now everyone's gonna blame you. I'm gonna blame you. I'll

309
00:16:59,120 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: be honest.

310
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you're right. Listen, We're about transparency, and.

311
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: So we have to share what we do, both the

312
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: good and the bad. Right we talked about the Panthers.

313
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: We didn't do anything with the Panthers this week. Good

314
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: for us, Thank god you know, but if we're going to.

315
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: Bet the Lions, and I'm going to.

316
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: Bet it was so tempting too. I don't know about you,

317
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 3: but it got up to ten. That was tempting.

318
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 2: Wow. Listen, we'll talk for a second.

319
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 1: At the end of this about me panic texting you

320
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: this morning when Mason Rudolph.

321
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 3: I get it, you know, I know. We're just trying

322
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 3: to find winners wherever we fucking can chat. I get it.

323
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: Jesus all right.

324
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: So then the lines were up twenty at seventeen. Yeah,

325
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: and I don't know about you, you can tell me

326
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: what you think. The last couple of weeks, we've just

327
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: been snaked it right the Giant Vangels.

328
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 3: I was like, this is too easy.

329
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was not going to go our way.

330
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 3: No Montgomery, as soon as he fumbled that when he

331
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 3: punched that out perfectly and it skip bounced right up

332
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 3: to that, I think it was either cornerback of linebacker,

333
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 3: just perfect, right in full step. He takes it for

334
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 3: a touchdown. I was like, Okay, at least it's on

335
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 3: the one, right, as long as they don't get the

336
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 3: two point or me and Chad will somehow cover this number.

337
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 3: They didn't get to two, and all I think to

338
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 3: myself was, please don't throw a pick six golf like,

339
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: because at the time, again we were staring at oh

340
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 3: and two and it's like, are we really about to

341
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 3: start another week? Ohen three? I know I can't handle

342
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 3: Chad certainly cannot handle another oh and three start to

343
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 3: a week, and yeah, you're MVP. Jared goff Man took

344
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 3: us right down the field and Gibbs too. Gibbs, what

345
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 3: a great game by the kid. I mean, the second

346
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: year player. You know, the port has disappeared. Gibbs is

347
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 3: not in his second year, and that was a huge

348
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 3: game by him, just because Montgomery had the injury. Then

349
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,479
Speaker 3: he has the fumble and it's like, we need this

350
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 3: kid to have big plays for us, and he did.

351
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 3: And you know, our fear was the Hutchinson thing would

352
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 3: be a big deal. It wasn't. It wasn't right. They

353
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 3: got pressure at times. I mean again, they're like you said,

354
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: they're up twenty one ten at one point. But at

355
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 3: the end of the game, that's when you really felt it,

356
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 3: where it's like they're not getting to him and he

357
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 3: is making completions right now. But we got kind of

358
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 3: lucky too. That was a bad game overall by the

359
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 3: Vikings offense, so their defense kind of was up to

360
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: the task, and then it got away for them pretty

361
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 3: quick once. Like we talked about, once the Lions get

362
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 3: it going, you can't stop it. That's why I mean,

363
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 3: you love betting them right now. It's like it's all

364
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 3: clicking offensively. We didn't care they lost touchingson because offensively

365
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: it's all there. And we both agreed this number should

366
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 3: have been you know, Detroit minus one and a half

367
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 3: minus two. The line was fishy, it was off. You know,

368
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 3: the books took a stand. We disagreed with it, and

369
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 3: that's that's nice when those ones come through, cause it's

370
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 3: like I bet that one heavy. I know you bet

371
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 3: it heavy, and it's like what am I not seeing here? Again?

372
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: I still couldn't get over that number got to two

373
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 3: and a half a day and a half. It was

374
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 3: just a weird week where we all know the Vikings

375
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: are pretty good, but they're not that good and even

376
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: in this game they need a couple of weird bounces

377
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: just to get it to be a close one. So

378
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: once again, this Vikings team, the values gonna come back around.

379
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 3: We're gonna betting on them again. But right now I

380
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 3: still think they're probably still overvalued heading into this next

381
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: week because that game was once again so close. They

382
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 3: didn't get blown out, they kept it close once again,

383
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 3: and it's gonna be interest see what their number is

384
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 3: this upcoming week.

385
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: Well, I was checking, and I'm glad I wanted to

386
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: talk about that. I will be very interested they're playing Tennessee.

387
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: The number is one of the biggest numbers we've.

388
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: Seen all season, and I do want to talk about

389
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: it when we get into that part of the show.

390
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad you bring up Hutchinson because like that was

391
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 1: sort of the note that I wanted to end on

392
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: when reviewing this game that I put in the script,

393
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: because when we needed aidd Hutchinson to get pressure, the

394
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: Vikings were able to sort of get down the field

395
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: and get that field goal because the line just could

396
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: not get the pressure like he had the time at

397
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: the end of the game. It was not his best game,

398
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: but he was able to make the throws he needed

399
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: to make because no one was getting to him.

400
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: So that is something to think about.

401
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: It's why Jared Goff will probably win MVP when they

402
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: go fifteen and or sixteen and one. However many games

403
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: they play now, But that's something to think about, for sure. Yeah,

404
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: for sure. Right now there is reporting that Kyle Shanahan

405
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: is worried Brandon Ayuk has an aco injury. Fuck Kansas

406
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: City plus two and a half at San Francisco. All

407
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: week long, we had been debating are we going to

408
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: put in Green Bay? Are we going to put in

409
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: Kansas City? Are we going to put in Green Bay?

410
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 1: Are we going to put in Kansas City? As much

411
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: as you were adamant about the Giants, you were also

412
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: adamant about Kansas City, which I like was just having

413
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: a hard time wrapping my head around because I have

414
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: such belief in the Niners and because I've been so

415
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: worried about the lack of productivity from the Chiefs overall

416
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: on offense.

417
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 2: Dude, you were spot.

418
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: On standing oh for you, standing, oh for Patrick Mahomes

419
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: because it played exactly like you said it was going

420
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: to And why we have to bet the Kansas City Chiefs.

421
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just can't believe you haven't learned your lesson.

422
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: I thought forever you. I was humbled by that Ravens

423
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: Chiefs game last year in the playoffs. I told you

424
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: a million times there will never be a better team

425
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: and a better spot that could beat Mahomes with less talent,

426
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 3: Like that was such a bad Mahomes team playing against

427
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 3: the best, one of the best Raven teams I've ever

428
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 3: had on paper, and it was a lesson. It was

429
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: just like when he is a dog, you trust the

430
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 3: number and then we mixed in that whole thing about

431
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 3: and you read off the bye week. I know it

432
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 3: sounds corny, but it's like the guy is automatic after

433
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 3: the bye week, especially as a dog. So this was

434
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 3: going to be no matter what. This is like, this

435
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 3: is like the Rams game. This is one of my

436
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 3: biggest bets of the year. Hammered it all in, didn't

437
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 3: care this morning. I think it went up to two

438
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 3: and a half. Even better, Like when that's.

439
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,159
Speaker 1: A lie that you were a little nervous this morning.

440
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: Like when it got up to two and a half,

441
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm all in on this.

442
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 2: It's weird to me. There wasn't.

443
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: I'm not saying there was any hesitation at all, but

444
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: you did make a note that it was weird.

445
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 3: I thought he was dumb enough to bet six figures

446
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 3: against my Homes here it's like, you know, I know

447
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: a couple of guys who came on the other side,

448
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 3: and it's like you're the same suckers from the Super

449
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 3: Bowl that just we all have the same models. That's

450
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 3: why I keep saying to people, anyone that has a

451
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 3: model would make the forty nine ers favorite in this spot.

452
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 3: And I said it to you before the game. I

453
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 3: know they have the bad left tackle. I know their

454
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 3: number one receiver Rice is out. Like everyone knows Isaiah

455
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: pa Checko's not playing everything. Everyone knows all the negatives

456
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 3: with this Chiefs team. But I just kept saying, it

457
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. It's just such a mismatch in pedigree and

458
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 3: coaching and those situations where it's like Spags and Reid

459
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 3: after a bye week. I mean, you saw it, all

460
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: those stupid wacky plays they run. I mean, how many

461
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 3: dumb catches did their tight end or third receiver have,

462
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 3: Like it just Reid is in his bag. It's incredible watching.

463
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 3: And we got the Mahomes fluke right, the Mahomes running

464
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 3: up the sideline, Mahomes picking up the third down so easily.

465
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 3: A game where I was terrified when I was fourteen twelve,

466
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: because again I had a lot of money on it.

467
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 3: It's like you felt the snowball right with the forty

468
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 3: nine ers. Everything was going their way. But Purdy, I

469
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 3: mean one of the worst games I've ever seen him had.

470
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 3: I mean this and that Ravens game, Like, yeah, you know,

471
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 3: two big games at home, and he kind of has melted,

472
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 3: like buttering both those games. Like I think you had

473
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 3: three picks in that Ravens game as well. He was

474
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 3: terrible today. So yeah, that's it's nice when it comes through.

475
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 3: But you know what makes me really happy, especially for

476
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 3: the show where it's like, you know we've had a

477
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 3: grind this year, is when we give out that boost

478
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 3: and you know our fans, you know, the week before

479
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 3: we're giving them Carolina Panthers money line with the Jets

480
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 3: money line. It's nice in a week we can give

481
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 3: them the Lines money line and the Chiefs money line.

482
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 3: It's like, we're not always assholes people. We're not always

483
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 3: going to make you bet the worst teams and make

484
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 3: you hit your life. We are going to give you

485
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 3: a little bit of chalk. So yeah, it's a nice hit.

486
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 3: And you came around on it, like I saw in

487
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: the app you bet the Chiefs. Yeah, before kickoffs, So

488
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: it's like I knew i'd break you eventually. It's just

489
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: the the trends were overwhelming, and then the matchup when

490
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 3: you really thought about it, it's just like, this is

491
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 3: a nice, nice play to this Chiefs team, But I

492
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 3: can't wait for next week because this is a cell

493
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 3: high as we can get on this Chiefs team.

494
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: Well, we're gonna get that opportunity. And I wrote that.

495
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: I wrote that line down to talk about I want

496
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: to give three examples that when Patrick Mahomes made these plays,

497
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, I had your voice in my head.

498
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: This is why we bet Patrick Mahomes. This is making

499
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: your own luck. This is why things go his way.

500
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: At the end of the game, nine minutes left in

501
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: the first half, Kansas City up seven to three, just

502
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: outside the red zone. It's a third and medium. He's

503
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: pressured in the pocket, sidesteps the sack like does a

504
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: backhanded flip to an open receiver for a first down.

505
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: Three plays later, they go up fourteen to three, second

506
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: and seven from the thirty seven. Towards the end of

507
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: the third, he breaks contain runs for the first fakes

508
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: a pass. He is far beyond the line of scrimmage,

509
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: fakes it, the tackler is dumbfounded, he runs past him

510
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: and then no one tackles him against third three yards.

511
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 2: That's going to be the play of the year.

512
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: And that's why stupid media suckers are going to vote

513
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: for him for MVP instead of Jared Goff because of

514
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: that stupid play. And then here's why we hate betting

515
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: against Mahomes. It's third and eight with just under five.

516
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: They're bleeding the clock. He steps up to avoid the sack.

517
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 1: He has guys hanging on his waist, makes a perfect

518
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: nine yard pass to convert the first down. Kevin Burkhart,

519
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: who was announcing the game, it says out loud, you

520
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: just have to laugh because there's there's nothing you can

521
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: do about it. And I'm with you, I am converted.

522
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: That is why you have to do it the.

523
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 3: Rest of your life though. That's what I'm saying, like

524
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 3: you need to just anytime he's a dog, even if

525
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 3: we fucking hate the spot, we just have to say

526
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: to ourselves long term until proven otherwise, like if he

527
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 3: loses four straight, that's what it would take to get

528
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 3: me off betting Mahomes as an underdog because it's so

529
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: rare and every time he does it, even today, right,

530
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: it was eighty percent of the tickets or something like that,

531
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 3: Evan told us. Unconvinced me didn't matter, like it don't matter.

532
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 3: The public note the secret's out. So yeah, that that

533
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 3: was fun. And like I said, it's a game we

534
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 3: desperately needed. We needed to be two and two here

535
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 3: tonight on the show. So thank god it came through.

536
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: Public against the spread in the past two weeks so

537
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: far nineteen five and one.

538
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 3: Fuck crazy, we're surviving this right now. We should be

539
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 3: getting zero for five to one for four weeks.

540
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: We should but like I don't want to, like I

541
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: honestly like I don't want to praise ourselves. We don't

542
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: deserve it in any way. But I will say, like,

543
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: we do think a lot about this, and we don't

544
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: just blindly make the bets, like we look for the

545
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: spots and we know chalk can win. You've said chalk

546
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: can win. Like we're we're trying to be flexible and

547
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: adapt We're not just trying to be people who do

548
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: the same thing over and over because the trends say it,

549
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: like that's what we talk about every week. You don't

550
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: just bet the trend. We love the numbers that Evan

551
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: gives us, but they have to be part of an

552
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: overall philosophy in which you're paying attention to the situation.

553
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: You're paying attention to the matchups on the field, you're

554
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: paying attention to what you're seeing with your eyes, and

555
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: then the trends helped to sort of inform that they do.

556
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 3: I view it as like we talk any more in

557
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 3: my whole job. I viewed as just trying to get

558
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 3: you not to step in a bunch of shit, and like,

559
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 3: that's that's hard because I have to try to I

560
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 3: need someone out there to get me now the step

561
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 3: of my own shit, like the Giants. But like that

562
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 3: green Bay number, it stanked to me all week. I

563
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 3: hate it all week, and I'm like, the minute that

564
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 3: game kicked off, I was like, thank fucking god, we

565
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: don't have this green Bay minus two and a half.

566
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 3: Like you just knew it was gonna either land on

567
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: the two or somehow Houston was gonna win. And of

568
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 3: course they landed either on one or two. And Sam

569
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 3: goes for us, dodging that Tennessee bullet because it's like

570
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 3: everything you said is true, right, that's a huge number

571
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 3: for that Bills team, and you know you're getting Mason

572
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: Rudolph at a will Levis price. Apparently they're both will Levis.

573
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 3: Don't matter if you switch the name on the back

574
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 3: of the jersey, They're just both equally terrible. So it

575
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 3: was a week where I feel fortunate to be tune

576
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 3: and two because there was just a lot of games

577
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: that were tempting and we luckily stayed away from them.

578
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 3: The only big miss for us is what I think

579
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 3: you agree on is just the Seahawks. We both liked

580
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 3: it three and a half. Yeah, I gave out the

581
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 3: money line. It was just a nice spot and a

582
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 3: nice team. I like, you know, my fear with that

583
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: one was just not that their defense is horrible, but

584
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,479
Speaker 3: I just have a lot of questions about the Seahawks

585
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 3: defense coming to this game, and they stepped up right.

586
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 3: They played really well. So yeah, kudos to the Seahawks

587
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 3: and anyone that took him a three and a half.

588
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 3: That was a really nice number. It was never a

589
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 3: sweat stuck.

590
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: You had him in the Sunday six pack for the

591
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: Action Network podcast, and I agree. I wish we had

592
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: talked about it this morning for even a second, like

593
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: we were both just mean.

594
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 3: You mentioned it and I was like, I like it,

595
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: but I liked unfortunately, like the fucking Giants words sucks.

596
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: You know, It's like it was the like the Falcons

597
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: have been so lucky this year they were due against

598
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: a good team to regress a little bit. Speaking of

599
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: the public, you know, we like the Jets.

600
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: We talked about it all week.

601
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: They are definitely the public side, although they also the

602
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: sharp side. Uh, tomorrow night we have Tampa Bay. We're

603
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: two and two right now on the contest. Tampa Bay

604
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: is not the public side at all. In fact, like

605
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 1: this number is going up, there are some places where

606
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: it's for it's been sitting at three and a half

607
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: a week. I will say it makes me a little

608
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: nervous right now because Mike Evans we expect him to play.

609
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: I saw in the latest injury report Vitevea is now questionable.

610
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: One of the main reasons we liked that game was

611
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: him able to control the line of scrimmage.

612
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 3: So, I mean, if we really wanted to, we could

613
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 3: switch it out technically for Arizona Vida Vey's out, but

614
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 3: I don't know. I already can sell see us hating

615
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 3: ourselves for making that change.

616
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're gonna be UPSETI their way because either we're

617
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: going to keep it and lose, or we change it

618
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: out and they win. Yeah, there's no way, there's no way.

619
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: If we change it out, the Bucks don't cover. It's like, yeah,

620
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: we might as well put the mortgage on the Bucks

621
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: covering if we decide to change it out. We need

622
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: to look ahead to week eight. Couple of really interesting lines.

623
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: First one up, let's talk about Kansas City ten point

624
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 1: favorites right now on the road at Las Vegas raiders.

625
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do here? We got a we

626
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 1: got we gotta buck the trend of road favorites. We

627
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: gotta buck the trend of road teams covering. We gotta

628
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: get ourselves to sack.

629
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 3: Up divisional road favorites.

630
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, all of it. It sucks a double digit favorite.

631
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 3: No, it's it's the brutal We have no choice. That's

632
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 3: what like again is tough about the show where it's like,

633
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 3: this is how we win long term. We have to

634
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 3: stick to it. We'd be fools not to take it.

635
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 3: It's an insane number. And you know again, shoot on

636
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 3: Minshew all you want people he was in the game

637
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 3: again at the end of the game. This this this game,

638
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 3: like they almost upset the Rams, and it's just, yeah,

639
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 3: he has one play where you are like, this is

640
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 3: the worst quarterback in the league, and then you'll have

641
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: a couple of throws where it's like, Okay, this is

642
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:28,240
Speaker 3: why he's a stable backup. So it's another spot where

643
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 3: if it's the if it's Minshew in the ten, I

644
00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 3: take it. If it's an O'Connell, I don't, but he

645
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,719
Speaker 3: might have broken his thumb, so it's unlikely it's going

646
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 3: to be him. So you know, we love the Raiders

647
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 3: matchup historically against the Chiefs that you just always play

648
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 3: them tough and it's disgusting. But this is going to

649
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 3: be around money, money line round, Robin, I can tell

650
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 3: you that much. Like it's just long term. I'm sure

651
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 3: Evan will have some stats for us come Tuesday, you know,

652
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 3: in his breakdown. But in my lifetime, there's only one

653
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 3: team in this division that beats Mahomes and it's the Raiders.

654
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 3: And I think it's might have happened three times, but

655
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 3: each of those times I've gotten like a plus three

656
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 3: hundred plus four hundred on the Raiders money line. So yeah,

657
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 3: this is a gross number, but like you just said,

658
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 3: I'm taking it now. It can only it only goes down, right,

659
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: There's no way this goes higher. Just the way the

660
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 3: books have been this year, it's tough to see this

661
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 3: getting up to eleven or twelve.

662
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,399
Speaker 1: The other game we got to talk about at least

663
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: for a second. You just mentioned Detroit twelve and a

664
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: half point favorite at home against Tennessee.

665
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a shocking to say that's still too

666
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 3: low to me. Really, Yeah, the way that Lion's offense

667
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 3: is playing, get us the thirteen fourteen, that's where this

668
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 3: should be. The Titans are fucking horrible. They were up

669
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 3: ten to nothing on the bill, Yeah, yeah, and then

670
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 3: just got rolled. And you know that's that's the hard part,

671
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 3: chat is we're trying to bet on teams that we

672
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 3: don't think quit. Like there's a couple of games you

673
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 3: see see guys making them like that that Giants Eagles game.

674
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: A couple of Giants players made business decisions like they

675
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 3: could have made hits on guys and they pull up

676
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 3: or they don't make the tackle. Where it's like that's

677
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 3: something I'm always in the lookout for because that just

678
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 3: shows the view of the team right now. And the

679
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 3: Titans made a lot of business decision against that Bills team.

680
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 3: So yeah, I would, honestly, wait, I think that one

681
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 3: keeps going up and just detroitsa juggernaut right now in Tennessee.

682
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 3: You know, they're like the Patriots of they're one of

683
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 3: the worst teams in football.

684
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: Raybon, it's being reported that Chris Raybon just put Cowboys

685
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: plus six and a half into the app. They're at

686
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 1: the Niners. That number I'm seeing in the app is

687
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 1: down to five and a half. I don't know if

688
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: you have a strong opinion here.

689
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it's six and a half. It's it's

690
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 3: it's a great number. But I'm with you, I don't.

691
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 3: I don't know where that number exists. I'm trying to

692
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 3: see and if any books have it still now. I

693
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 3: think he might have got the Early Line movie, because

694
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 3: I'm seeing almost every book now, You're right, is down

695
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 3: to five and a.

696
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 2: Half, five and a half.

697
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 3: It's a key number, like that's six. Six is a

698
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 3: big deal.

699
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: A couple other that are interesting to me real quickly,

700
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: I want to run through before we get to yours.

701
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 2: Sure, the Bears.

702
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: Are one and a half point underdogs at the Commanders

703
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: right now, coming off a bye. It's weird to me

704
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,760
Speaker 1: they're still dogs, not knowing the Jade and Daniels situation.

705
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I one of my first bets it was actually two,

706
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 3: so it is moving a little bit that it's down

707
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 3: to one and a half. I just I can see

708
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 3: that easily flipping right. Yeah to making the Bears a favorite,

709
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 3: which is a little scary having him on the road

710
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 3: is a favorite. But that, you know, whatever you want

711
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 3: to say about that win today against Carolina. They're a

712
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 3: good team, but it's like Mariota at one point had

713
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 3: like three yards passing, They're up twenty nothing right Like

714
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 3: that was just what can we really take away from

715
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 3: that game and from Mariota. My view of Mariota is

716
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 3: he's a bad quarterback and your guys are looking for

717
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: Your guys defense is really good, like the Bears as

718
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 3: good as you know Williams is playing, the offense has

719
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: been playing. I still think the biggest mainstead of that

720
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 3: team right now the Bears is your guys defense. So

721
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that one. I'd grabbed that now

722
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 3: plus one and a half you.

723
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: Know what's interesting to me, Mariota. When he came in,

724
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: they showed his career stats. I was shocked that he

725
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: had twenty or thirty more touchdown passes in his career.

726
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: Then he has interceptions like I've always thought.

727
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 2: He was so bad that.

728
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: Oh wow, the Bears commanders is now I think off

729
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: the board because I'm not Oh, I'm not getting it

730
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: anywhere right now. And I wonder if that's because of

731
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels.

732
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 3: Has to be because that Nuver didn't sound right anyway.

733
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 3: I just don't. I can't see them being a favorite

734
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,720
Speaker 3: against this Bears team coming off of bye week.

735
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was trying to make the bet as you

736
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: were talking, and it's off the board.

737
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 2: Seattle plus three at home against Buffalo.

738
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 3: I don't know what to do with this number.

739
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: What are you talking about it?

740
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm pinpointing numbers that like look a little bit interesting

741
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: to me. I don't think Buffalo is should be a

742
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: three point favorite on the road against Seattle yet.

743
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 3: Me either. But at the same time, it makes sense

744
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 3: because it's Josh Allen Verstino Smith, right.

745
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Gino Smith is still a very accurate passer

746
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 1: who's going against a defense that has holes in the middle.

747
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 3: I agree, So you know, I'll take the plus three

748
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 3: on Seattle. But this is easily a position I could

749
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 3: maybe change come Tuesday or Thursday, Like if this is

750
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 3: down to two minus two and a half with the Bills,

751
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 3: I could be tempted here, But you're right, right now,

752
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 3: the right number to take is Seattle plus three, Like

753
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 3: that's that's a good number and an inflated number with

754
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 3: what you just said. This again, my hesitation here is

755
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 3: the Seattle defense. Chat. They've just been so bad against

756
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 3: comparable offenses, and I know they stepped up today, but

757
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 3: I felt like a lot of that was self inflicted

758
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 3: wounds by the Atlanta team. And you're right though, like

759
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 3: this is a nice cell high spot right on this

760
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 3: Bills team, such a huge win. We've seen them struggle

761
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 3: as well against comparable offenses. So this is tough, but

762
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 3: I'll take the plus three with you right now. This

763
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 3: is easily a game I could flip on.

764
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 2: I did find while you were talking.

765
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: I did find the Bears plus one and a half

766
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: at one book still available. It was down at the

767
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: two other books here in Connecticut, last one and this

768
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 1: line is already moving Cincinnati minus two versus Philly at home.

769
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, another game where it's two teams I just don't

770
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 3: trust right now. Offensively, I'll probably end up on just

771
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 3: taking the under. But I would say you're if you're thinking,

772
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 3: here're the smart side is Cincinnati. So that's fair, Like,

773
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 3: that's probably a good number against this Eagles team that

774
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 3: you know, they're just they're not as good as their

775
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 3: record states right now. That is an interesting number though,

776
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 3: just hang in the two like they're literally just letting

777
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 3: us dictate where they're going to move this number.

778
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 2: That's that's what surprised me.

779
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 3: And so you don't see many two So I'll tell

780
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 3: you that much. You don't see many. You don't see

781
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 3: a lot of twos on Sunday night.

782
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 2: No, all right, So.

783
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 3: You want to get a game that immediately jumps out

784
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 3: to me, Colts plus six and a half against Houston,

785
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 3: Like again, I'm going to rush to bed it because

786
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 3: I do think it'll go up because Anthony Rusians not

787
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 3: played well. You know, people just think that Colts team

788
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 3: a little fraud in Houston played really well, probably should

789
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 3: have won that game. I just I don't know, there's

790
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 3: something about c J when he's a big favorite like this,

791
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 3: I always kind of want to take the other like

792
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 3: he just has teams play it close, and they kind

793
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 3: of keep teams in these games. So that's the number

794
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 3: that jumped out to me. It's like, I'll be patient.

795
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 3: I'll grab it now just because it's six and a half,

796
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 3: but I won't put a lot on it because it's

797
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 3: like this only goes up right teasers, parlays. Everything's gonna

798
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 3: coming on this Houston team. Yeah, I'm hoping I get

799
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 3: up to a seven. I'm taking it just in case

800
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 3: I'm missing something here. But you can get the Packers

801
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 3: minus five right now against the Jaguars.

802
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: That's weird.

803
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 3: In what world? The Jaguars are horrible? I don't care.

804
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 3: I mean, okay, they just blew out a team in England.

805
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 3: I know Evan's gonna have the stats too about these

806
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,840
Speaker 3: teams not that don't take a bye week and they

807
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 3: just come back from anything play the following week in

808
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 3: the one PM games.

809
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that number four and a half.

810
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, so like that's I told you, I'll take some

811
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 3: chalk every now and then. That's a nice chalk spot.

812
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 3: It feels like this is the week.

813
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 2: Why would that number go down.

814
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, there could be a bunch of different

815
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 3: reasons where maybe people think they saw some of the

816
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 3: Jaguars today like winning that game, But I'm totally selling them.

817
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 3: I just think they're such a bad, poorly coach team

818
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 3: right now. I can't see it. So I'll definitely grab

819
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 3: the minus four and a half.

820
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 2: Cut anyone else.

821
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the last one that really jumped out

822
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 3: to me there, just of like, Okay, is this a

823
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 3: line that you know I'm missing something here. It's because

824
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 3: they think because two is coming back, it's a huge

825
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 3: boost from Miami. You can get Cardinals plus two and

826
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:36,959
Speaker 3: a half right now.

827
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 2: I saw that, and to me, it's all about Tua.

828
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 3: I know, I think there's been no guarantee he's going

829
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 3: to be back, so it's like an easy number to

830
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 3: take now if we need to, we can buy to

831
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 3: have for a position later. But watching the Miami team today,

832
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 3: they should have won that game in ten different ways

833
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 3: and they just couldn't do it because they just have

834
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,160
Speaker 3: nothing to keep you position. I mean, I think Tyreek

835
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 3: Hill had ten yards receiving. Like it's just all bad

836
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 3: right now for that offense. Nothing's right and you know,

837
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 3: even if two it comes back, I mean, how much

838
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 3: will this number really move? It's coming off a major

839
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:17,400
Speaker 3: head injury in his first start. The craziest, the highest

840
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 3: I can see this guy is minus three. So yeah,

841
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 3: from early bet I ticked the two and a half.

842
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, right now.

843
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: The Dolphins, they went through Tyler Huntley, they ended with Tim.

844
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 3: Boyle, ended with Tim Boyle. Yeah, which was that might

845
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 3: be the quarterback?

846
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 2: That's that's no good. No, that's no good.

847
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: All right, we've run through the games. We're going to

848

849
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,279

850
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 3: There's a lot of really fun games this will coming

851
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:50,319
Speaker 3: week that we'd even touch.

852
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, rooting hard for the Jets tonight, rooting hard, hard,

853
