1
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Favorites, the podcast from the Action Network.

2
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: I am Chad Millman. We're heading into week two of

3
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: the NFL season. Last week, Ladies and Gentlemen was our

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: biggest show in podcast history. Massive, massive show. I think

5
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: it speaks to three things. One people's enthusiasm for the NFL,

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: returning to people's enthusiasm for Scooch, and three people's enthusiasm

7
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: for me. Scooch, don't laugh. I haven't introduced you yet.

8
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: We got such a big show coming up today. A

9
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 1: couple of projects I want to tell you about. Number

10
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: one Scooch. Later on in the show, Darren Ravel is

11
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: going to come back. Simon Hunter, who's the professional better

12
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: from New Jersey, is going to come back. Simon Hunter

13
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: will weigh in on the picks that Darren and I have.

14
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: Darren is this where me is the quote unquote sharp

15
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 1: for the Super Contest. First week at the Super Contest,

16
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: Darren and I went three and two. We needed the

17
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: Texans last night to cover. They did uh that game

18
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: When once we got once they scored, once they had

19
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: the ball left like three minutes left, I knew we

20
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: were gonna at least cover. And then that Guy game

21
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: got crazy, so it was super exciting. Um Scooch. Later

22
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: on we gotta play some scooch Roulette. I believe we

23
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: both lost. Um and I had the Vikings. Man, Oh,

24
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: what do I have the Jags? I don't know. You

25
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: had like five picks. I don't know what I think. No,

26
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: maybe I picked the Colts. I don't know. We'll have

27
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: to ask Patrick to like figure it out for us

28
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: while we're listening to the podcast. Um, but first from

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: the Boyd from Boyd Gaming, representing all the sports books

30
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: that boardgaming has around the country. Bookmaker of the World

31
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: by Scooci. That is music worthy of a man who

32
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: won the first week of scoot Roulette. Yeah, good to

33
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: be back. Listen, Um, just give me a taste, Give

34
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: me a taste. I want to tell you a little

35
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: bit about a project I'm working on that I think

36
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: you'll enjoy. But give me a taste of what it

37
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: was like in the books. I feel like every year

38
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: we could say this, it's getting bigger. Every year there's

39
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: more enthusiasm. But this year it feels like we can

40
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: say that with authenticity and legitimacy because of the legalization

41
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: of sports betting and really the way it's being talked

42
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: about in so many platforms right now. Oh absolutely, I

43
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: mean we so we launched two sports books in Mississippi

44
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: last year. We long one in the outside Philadelphia in March,

45
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: and then we just launched four of them in Indiana

46
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: and Iowa in the past two weeks. Uh. And when

47
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: you look at Nevada numbers, Nevada numbers are growing if

48
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: you look at year over year numbers. So the idea

49
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: that legalization, at least for the time being, is going

50
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: to take away from Nevada hasn't held true yet. I

51
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: think it's just showing that the legalization right now across

52
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: the country is just getting more exposure to new people

53
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 1: that may not have bet sports before. So to say

54
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: that it's bigger than ever is most accurate right now.

55
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: A wise man once said to me that legalized sports

56
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: betting would only be good for Nevada because if you

57
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,839
Speaker 1: go to your local amusement park doesn't mean you don't

58
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: want to go to Disney World. I remember saying that

59
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: that was me. I still think that holds true. I mean,

60
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: somebody that's never been to a you know, on a

61
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: roller coaster, who goes to the local amusement Park. He's like, hey,

62
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: we when I tried Disneylander. By the way, you said

63
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: that to me like ten years ago. Wow, you gotta

64
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: you gotta a memory, my friend. I remember exactly where

65
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: we were when you said it to me. I was

66
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 1: in Vegas and I was working on a story about

67
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: the legalization of sports betting and for the sixty the

68
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: ESPN News magazine show, and um, I was interviewing you

69
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: and before we went on camera, you said this to me.

70
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, Scooch, that's a great line. You gotta say

71
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: that on camera. Wow. I mean that was so long ago.

72
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: I still would have made nationwide sports betting a big

73
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: underdog at the time. But look at where we are now.

74
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,119
Speaker 1: I mean, it's incredible. Later on today, don't forget Darren

75
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: Revel and Simon Hunter professional betters are gonna come on

76
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about the pics we're making to

77
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: win one point five million dollars in the super contest.

78
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: But I do want to tell you something, scooge I

79
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: decided last weekend. So I think I've told you this

80
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: story that every year I've gone head ahead with my

81
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: buddy Matt Um in Pigskin pick him where we picked

82
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: every game against the spread. And I've been destroying him,

83
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: like really destroying him and for the past four years,

84
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: and like it's honestly getting expensive for me because the

85
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: loser the winner ends up having to buy the loser

86
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: trophies or do something to embarrass them, so you know,

87
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: And now it's got to the point where I gotta

88
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: taught myself every year. And so instead of getting him

89
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: a trophy this past year when I beat him. Have

90
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: you ever heard of cameo? Cameo is this UH company

91
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: where you can pay to have BC level celebrities UM

92
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: do a short video with a very specific message that

93
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: they will then send to the person you want to

94
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: give it to. So UM, I went with the guy

95
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: who played Kevin in The Office, my buddy Matt. His

96
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: kids are obsessed with The Office. Any kid these days

97
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: between the age of like ten and twenty is obsessed

98
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: with the Office because they've all watched it on Netflix

99
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: about eight thousand times. Like Mike kids have watched every

100
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: episode of The Office ten times, right, and so hit

101
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: Matt's kids have too. And so I got Kevin from

102
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 1: the Office to do a cameo UM excoriating Matt for

103
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: losing to me again and specifically mentioning to Matt that

104
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: his kids are so ashamed of him for losing again

105
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: and again and again. Right, But at this point, like

106
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: beating Matt is costing me like four or five dollars

107
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 1: a year because I've got to get all this stuff

108
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: to embarrass him at the end of the year. And

109
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: so I said him, this year, listen, let me just

110
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: pick every game, like we'll both. Let's let's each put

111
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: four dollars into a pool. Let me pick every game,

112
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: and at the end of the year, if I lose,

113
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: you can lord it over me. If I win, then

114
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 1: we're going to split the profit. Right, We'll share and

115
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: we'll enjoy. It will be something we can do together

116
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: instead of me beating you again. So of course Matt

117
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: decides like he wants to, he needs to be able

118
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: to make some picks as well. He can't just be

119
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: sort of a passive participant. And I said to him, like, dude,

120
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: it's not picking camp. Not everybody gets to play. And

121
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: I thought you'd laugh at that a little more pick

122
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: up camp, like it's good. Right. I used that line

123
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: in the radio last week and they loved it. But

124
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: we decided to do it. Anyways, I let him make

125
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: some picks and uh we picked this past weekend for

126
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: the first time, we went eleven and five in all

127
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: sixteen games against the spread. Holy yeah, Holy cow. So listen,

128
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: I want to tell people. You can follow along in

130
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: It's uh Followed two fifty six or Bust two fifty

131
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: six or bust um. That is the account, and uh,

132
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: you can track everything that we're doing for this project

133
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: to or bust. What do you think of that? Scars,

134
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: I like it. It's actually harder. It's it's harder to

135
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: pick five games that you're positive about than to just

136
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: let it fly in the sixteen because like the sixteen,

137
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, like the five games, you invest so much

138
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: time and if you go three and two you're lucky.

139
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: The sixteen like you might end up fifty fifty on these.

140
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: It's just it's just better mentally, it's more fun. Yeah yeah,

141
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: I mean we we've we've been doing that for years

142
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: here in town. I haven't done it recently, but there's

143
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: always been like a battle of the bookies and one

144
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: of the local papers and everything, and uh, you have

145
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: to pick every game on the board and yeah, it

146
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: sounds easier, but it could be difficult to I mean

147
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: you have those weeks where you just go like, you know,

148
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: five or four or four or five winners and the

149
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: rest losers. So uh but no, it's it's it's fun.

150
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: It's important to get a good start just so I

151
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: haven't busted my bankroll by week right, all right, scooch,

152
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: we got some craptastic games to talk about and a

153
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: record setting number we gotta get to. Um, let's talk

154
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 1: about the first one on the board Thursday night, Tampa

Speaker 1: at Carolina. This line opened at five. It's now a

156
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: six and a half. Yeah, what's going on there? First

157
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: bet out of the gate when we hung the lines,

158
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: actually and some some sharp betters, and um boy, you know,

159
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: and I hate having the public and the sharp guys

160
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: on the same side, but this is one of those.

161
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: And uh, a sizeable favorite on a on a Thursday night.

162
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: I just jacked up the money line not too long

163
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: ago on this one. Um Panthers played A played the

164
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: tough team last week in the Rams, and uh they

165
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: looked pretty good. It was I mean, it wasn't a

166
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: It looked like one of those grinding type games. It

167
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: wasn't a pretty game to watch. Two defenses battling out

168
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: Buccaneers didn't didn't show much, so I I understand the move.

169
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: We try not to take too much into account in

170
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: big line adjustments after one week. A matter of fact,

171
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: now that a lot of the players don't see any

172
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: action in preseason, it's almost like week three and four

173
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: is when you really start getting the good indication of

174
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 1: who these teams are. You almost have to you know,

175
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: you have to expect a lot of uncertainty the first

176
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: two or three weeks. So we're trying not to adjust

177
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: too much, and we're stuck with what the line would

178
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: have been prior to any of the last week's games.

179
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: There's only two or three teams, and we'll get to that.

180
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: We did make some sizeable adjustments off a week one,

181
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: but largely because of personnel reasons. But so so this

182
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: one we're just gonna be big Buccaneer Frans on Thursday night.

183
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: I can't get to read on this one, and unfortunately

184
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: I am obligated to bet every game. It's a tough

185
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: number too, so you know, you want to play the

186
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: Panthers in this one, but it's a lot of points

187
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: to lay missed out on on the good number. Um,

188
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, it opened, like you said, five and a half,

189
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: So now you're saying they gotta win by a touchdown.

190
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: It's a tough one to to bet. I'm probably gonna wait.

191
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait until the last possible minutes. If I

192
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: can get plus seven, there you go, they probably will.

193
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: I mean by Thursday night, looks like the public is

194
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: kind of in on it at about a five to

195
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,839
Speaker 1: one ratio, so I don't see that changing during the week,

196
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: so I think you'll see some seven. I totally agree

197
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 1: the first game. I bet this week we're the New

198
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: York Giants plus two and a half against the Buffalo

199
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: Bills at home. So many theories on why this line

200
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: opened where it did, all having to do with public

201
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: sentiment and what people saw. This is this is a

202
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: public perception point spread right here, triple P on literation.

203
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: It's a p p P. Yeah. So we opened the

204
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: bills one and a half and uh we got some

205
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 1: uh some early bills money went up to two and

206
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: a half. But now it's kind of flip flop, and

207
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, uh mainly the sharp guys,

208
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: not a lot of people, just a few people, but

209
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: a few sharp people are starting to feel the same

210
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: way that you did. You do, and they're taking the

211
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: two and a half now, so we're actually heavier on

212
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: the Giant. So I could see this line coming right

213
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: back down to the opener and much closer to pick

214
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: them by game time. Wow. So I've definitely got the

215
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: best of the number. Yeah. And and really I mean

216
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: just from a layman's point of view watching the Bills,

217
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: if you did watch any of that Bill's Jets game,

218
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: really didn't show much for three quarters. And uh, and

219
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: then you you know again week one. You you start

220
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: to wonder some of these fourth quarter comebacks if it's conditioning,

221
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: it's the number of factors. But but yeah, I could

222
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: see the Giants being the play in this one. A

223
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: home dog getting a few points against not a very

224
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: good team. Uh, with a quarterback that likes to turn

225
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: the ball over a lot for the Buffalo Bills. I

226
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's not a strong play, but

227
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: a good play. Yeah. Well this here's the challenge with

228
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: this game is like nobody was watching this game unless

229
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: you have direct TV or like you have read Zone,

230
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: And so all people saw was the Bills come back

231
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 1: against the Jets on the road from sixteen points down.

232
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: But everybody was watching the Giants play the Cowboys and

233
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: saw the Cowboys steamroll them in the second quarter, and

234
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: that was not Eli's fault. Like, the Giants didn't lose

235
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: this game because of Eli. And so you give me

236
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: the Giants at home when they get into the film

237
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: room and they get a little bit optimism by seeing, Wait,

238
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 1: there were certain things we did, but the Cowboys were

239
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: just awesome in this game. And the Bills people will

240
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: see we're very bad and they were playing against a

241
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: very bad team. This is a good number for me.

242
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about it. L A Chargers, l A Chargers,

243
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: You're done. You're done. I'm moving on l A Chargers

244
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: minus two and a half on the road against the

245
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. Why do you do this? This is like

246
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: you make this so hard on people because you know

247
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: what side people should be betting around this game. Yeah,

248
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: so the sharp guys have already taken the plus three

249
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: on the Lions at home, and here's another game where

250
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a professional better you'd like to

251
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: see these numbers. A home dog getting at at least

252
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: three points. The public is going to be all over

253
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:06,359
Speaker 1: the charge in this one bet about it clip. Um.

254
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: We we've already taken some some pretty big money on

255
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: the line. So that's an indication that you'll probably see

256
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: this line come down even though the public is on

257
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: the chargers by game day. Uh. If you're looking to

258
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: get at three, you should probably get it now because

259
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: closer to game day, this line is gonna also come

260
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: back down to a pick them. How much money? Um,

261
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: five figures, five figures, five figures. You've taken five figures

262
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: in the lines. Yep, like a five figure bet. Uh.

263
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: Not one bettiest series of bets. Yeah, and we've taken

264
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: some tremendous action this past week. It's like you're going

265
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: back to what you said earlier about the popularity of

266
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: sports betting and now that we're in multiple jurisdictions. Uh,

267
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: you know you mentioned the Cowboys. We took a pretty

268
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: large bet on the Uh Cowboy is that one of

269
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: our properties to win the Super Bowl? So uh, yeah,

270
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: we're we're seeing some some action around the around the country. Now.

271
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: I am also in a pool. There's four of us. Uh.

272
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: The entry fee it's two thousand dollars and we each

273
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: pick it is Steve. But it makes me very uncomfortable.

274
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: I never never bet that kind of money on anything. Um,

275
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: But you know, it's like it's the quick I I

276
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: sort of think about it as it's the equivalent of

277
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: basically a hundred dollars a week, and it's a draft

278
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: where you pick eight teams and you to win the

279
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. And so you know, first pick, second pick,

280
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: third pick, fourth pick, and then the guy who picks

281
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: fourth gets two picks and you go back around. Um.

282
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: The two teams I took first were that used in

283
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Yeah, and I also had a Cowboys U

284
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: tend to one to win the NFC title. Pretty good. God,

285
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: I had them, yeah, because we we had them at

286
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: the one to win the Super Bowl prior to Sunday

287
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: they went down a little bit, so you got you've

288
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: got a decent number. Yeah, I bet that. Like you know,

289
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: during the summer, Indie is visiting Tennessee. Another really interesting game, right,

290
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: Like Indie played well, left a lot of opportunities to

291
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: win that game. On the field. Tennessee dominated against the

292
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland team that I think a lot of people thought

293
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: if you were betting that was overrated and the Tennessee

294
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: was the right side. So now Indie is plus three.

295
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: Full disclosure, I've bet the Colts at plus three. Yeah,

296
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: I think we got the number right here and I

297
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: don't see it moving too much. Um. We we said

298
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: last week that the Cults were very good team even

299
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: without Andrew Luck, so it didn't surprise me too much

300
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: that they, Uh, they played a pretty good game against

301
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers. The Titans, Uh, you know, we had them

302
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: rated pretty high to nobody really anticipated them blowing Cleveland out,

303
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: but we did think that they were definitely a live

304
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: dog in that game. And we mentioned that too last

305
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: week that you know, the Browns hype really drove that

306
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: that number up, and you probably would have had some

307
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: pretty good value on the Titans at plus five and

308
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: a half. So um, in this game, I think the

309
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: numbers right on right on track. Uh, we're probably going

310
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: to be heavy on the Titans with public money. I

311
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: haven't gotten any sharp money yet on the Colts, but

312
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: I would think that, uh, the sharp guys would want

313
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: to bet the Cults in this one. As you said,

314
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: I have the Colts plus three. I know you're the

315
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 1: sharp guy. Dallas Cowboys minus five against the Redskins on

316
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: the road, trap trap trap like this, Like if I

317
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: didn't have to bet this game because of project to

318
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: or bust follow along in the action app Um, I'd

319
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: avoid it like the plague because the right side of

320
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: the Redskins. But I don't want to bet on this

321
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: Redskins team. Sharp a lot of sharp play on this

322
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: one already. So we opened five and a half. First

323
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: couple of bets were on the Redskins were down to five.

324
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: We're not trying not to move it too far down

325
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: because the public is betting. The Cowboys had about a

326
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: ten to one ratio. Like you said, everybody watched that.

327
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: It was a high profile game on Sunday with the

328
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Giants. Everybody was watching that one. Uh.

329
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys already have a strong following to begin with, being

330
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: such a high profile team. Redskins actually uh played pretty well.

331
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: Uh they got the cover there. We it was nip

332
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: and tuck. It looked like they had the game in

333
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 1: hand and was going to be one of the biggest

334
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 1: upsets of the day against the against the Eagles. But

335
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: you know again, even even when the team uh plays

336
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: better than we expect, we we don't want to adjust

337
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: them too much, So not a whole lot of adjustment here.

338
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: This is probably would have been the number we would

339
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: have made, you know, two weeks ago. So but I

340
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: do think the sharp guys see the value at with

341
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: the home dog in this one. It's a big rivalry game.

342
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, I think the right plays the Redskins.

343
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: But you know, it's tough to watch them. Uh as

344
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: Cowboys did look pretty good. Yeah, that's gonna be hard,

345
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: really really hard. I just feel like the Cowboys are

346
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: so freaking good, like they've known it, they saw it.

347
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: That second quarter was magical. Um, they're I think they're

348
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: a juggernaut. Yeah, I think they are. And you know,

349
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: everybody looks to the Eagles in that division, and the

350
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: Eagles are going to be there. But yeah, that's a

351
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: they're good team. And uh yeah, like I said, we've

352
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: taken some pretty big bets already on them to win

353
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I should mention I forgot to mention.

354
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: I bet the Panthers Bucks under forty nine and a

355
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 1: half on Thursday. Name okay, um, alright, another game that

356
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: I bet. As I've noted in the past in the

357
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: Action Network gap, but once you've bet a game, it

358
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: jumps to the top of sort of the schedules. So

359
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: I've got to go by what I bet, um, because

360
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: I've already bet some games Arizona, who I was so

361
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: in love with against the Lions and kind of got

362
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: bailed out um against the Ravens who dominated the Dolphins.

363
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: But this to me just feels like the line is

364
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half. I bet the Cardinals at plus

365
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: thirteen and a half. Their defense isn't bad, um, and

366
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: they held up against the Lions in the end. I'm

367
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: a huge Kyler Murray fan. I think this could be

368
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: a super exciting game. But I don't think we know

369
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: anything about the Ravens at this point because they played

370
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: such a dreadful team that is already in disarray, with

371
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: players reporting like that they want out, like they want

372
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: to get out of Miami as soon as possible. So

373
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: I think you've overinflated this line and I think you're

374
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: gonna get burned, and I think you're gonna struggle because

375
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: you might have to even go higher because that's where

376
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: all the money is going to come in. Yeah, so

377
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: we definitely did over just over adjust, but I don't

378
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: think that We're gonna get burned because I we know

379
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: the public is going to be on the Ravens at

380
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: about an eight to one clip nine to one ratio

381
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: something like like that. Um. Yeah, when I talked about

382
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: some of the teams that we had to make adjustments on,

383
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: obviously uh that the Dolphins were one of them. But

384
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: so we couldn't take too much from that big blow

385
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: out there that this team, uh, they just had no morale.

386
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: It's tough when you're front office on lows all of

387
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: all of your best players prior to the first week

388
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: of the game and then uh, and then try to

389
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: tell the team that you know, every game is important

390
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: and you know, uh, we're still trying to uh trying

391
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: to win a championship. You know, that message is kind

392
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: of muddled. So I couldn't take too much from that game.

393
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: Like you said, the Cardinals with Kyler Murray, you know,

394
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: it's such an untangible the guy's got so much talent.

395
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: But then you know, you got you got, you know,

396
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: a young quarterback who can make mistakes, and you know

397
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: you saw him actually struggle for the first half and

398
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: part into the third quarter and then but then you

399
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: saw signs of that of that talent, that greatness, and

400
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: then obviously the comeback so so so. But but yeah,

401
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: when you're when you're talking about double digit favorites in

402
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 1: the NFL, they have to be some really really good teams,

403
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: and you know, the Ravens are not haven't proven themselves

404
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: to be that really good team yet. So the line

405
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: is overinflated, but we're okay with that. You won't be

406
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Well, if we take enough sharp money on

407
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, you know we'll offset some of that public money.

408
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: Minnesota at Green Bay Packers minus three, two teams that

409
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: we both loved in Week one. Uh, it's good line.

410
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: It's perfect. I mean you got to it's perfect. It's perfect.

411
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful it's like a beautiful baby line. Yeah,

412
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: it's a minus three Packers at Home Packers Vikings. We're

413
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: gonna get the fifty fifty action on this game. I mean,

414
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: that's a bookmaker's dream. I don't even know what to

415
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: do with this game. I don't think I have an

416
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: opinion yet. That's why it's a perfect line, all right.

417
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: It really is a coint But it's one of those

418
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: great matchups that you know you're gonna get divided opinions

419
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: on this. It's the sharp guys aren't really going to

420
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: have a clear angle on this one. You know, if

421
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: they were able to get three and a half, it

422
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: might be a small play on the vikings. If they

423
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: were laying two and a half, then you say, okay,

424
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 1: Packers by field goals. But uh, it's it's a tough one,

425
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: which is good. Let's move on if nobody's got anything yet.

426
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: It's funny how you know, I love this is like

427
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: the epitome of sports betting. When you have the most

428
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: marquee game on the board, the best game, but because

429
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: the line neutralizes everything, there's nothing to talk about. God,

430
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: that is a great abra ation. You're so right, Like,

431
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: these are two teams that could both go to the

432
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: super Bowl in a wide open and NC conference, and

433
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: like Minnesota looked great on Sunday, Green Bay looked awful,

434
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: but they'd be a team that everyone had high expectations

435
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: for they are playing. It's like it's two public teams

436
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: with huge fan bases at one of the most beloved

437
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: stadiums in football, with the best quarterback potentially in football

438
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: um and a defense that is just unbelievable in the

439
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: Vikings and Dalvin Cook is one of the most exciting players.

440
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: And because we can't get a reading the line, I

441
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: want to move on to the next game. Exactly. So funny, Uh,

442
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is a four point favorite against the Seahawks at home.

443
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: I would take the Steelers in this game. Totally totally

444
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: agree with you on this one. Um. You know, the

445
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: Steelers are are are one of those teams that a

446
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: lot of people have to if you had to take

447
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: a couple of teams in the a f ceed that

448
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: could actually kind of compete with the Chiefs and the Patriots. Uh,

449
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: the Steelers are the team that kind of comes up

450
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: all the time, and you know at home, Uh, coming

451
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: off with the big loss against the Patriots, you know

452
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: that they're going to be jack to win one at home. Uh. Seahawks,

453
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: you know, even with the talent, looks like they struggled

454
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: quite a bit. As almost a digit favorite. So, UM,

455
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: I think even though you're laying a little bit more

456
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 1: than a field goal, I think I think the Steelers

457
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: is to play here. Which way you think this line

458
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: is going to go? Um, I think it'll come down. Actually,

459
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: So if you're if you're looking back to steals. I

460
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: think you could probably get a three and a half

461
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: or three. Um that the ticket accounts pretty divided evenly,

462
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: so the public isn't gonna sway. That's it's just a

463
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: matter of some of the sharp guys. If they come

464
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: in and taking the plus four, the plus three and

465
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: a half, but so I had to take, they'll cut down.

466
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: So you gotta keep an eye out. I'm gonna set

467
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: an alert. I can set an alert for this line

468
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 1: in the Action Network happ and that is what I'm

469
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: gonna do. I want to keep an eye on when

470
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: it is moving. Yeah, isn't that cool. It's a cool feature, right,

471
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: I don't like that, it really is. Maybe you should

472
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: download the app. I will uh Jacksonville at Houston. You've

473
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: got the Jabs as a big, big dog. Um. I

474
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: don't know, man, you might be underrating Gardner Minshew. Did

475
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: you see him play completed his first passes. I'm a

476
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: big Minshew fan. I was. We were rooting pretty heavily

477
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: for the Jags against the Chiefs. That was one of

478
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: the biggest games on the board that the sports books lost.

479
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: So as soon as uh Foles went out, we became

480
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: huge Minshew fans. I was desperately, I I, UM, I

481
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: do this radio show every week with this guy named

482
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: Nick Right. Nick Right hosts First Things for Works on

483
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 1: FS one, the morning show on FS one, and he's

484
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: also got a radio show on Mad Dog Radio at

485
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: night on Sirius. It's a great show. He's I say this,

486
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: I say almost nothing, um, in all honesty, without irony.

487
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: He is fabulously talented, and he's a nemesis and I

488
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: kind of can't stand him and I root from fail

489
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 1: every day. But uh, but he is ridiculously talented. And

490
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: so I went on his show, and he's a huge

491
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs fan, and he um, he knew that I was

492
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 1: gonna love the Jacks. And an hour before I came on,

493
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: he was talking about how much he loved the Chiefs

494
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: and he's like, in one hour, Chad Moment is going

495
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: to come on and tell me all the reasons why

496
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: you should like the Jacks in this game. And literally

497
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: he said verbatim what I then said an hour later,

498
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: and he said to his producer, cut this clip. Play

499
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 1: it when Chad comes on after he gives us the

500
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: rundown of the Chiefs Jacks. And it was uncanny, how

501
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: accurate he was, so then we ended up you know,

502
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: doing a little scooch roule let her own, and uh,

503
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: that was the guy we decided to go head to

504
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: head on and he was texting me all Sunday just

505
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: ripping me for the Jacks. Wow. Well, I mean, you know, fairness,

506
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: I mean, he couldn't predict falls going down and I

507
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 1: mean as good as Minshew looked, it's still I mean

508
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: a huge, huge drop down. So uh in this game,

509
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 1: I think we got the line right. Um sharp guys

510
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: hadn't weighed in on either side plus the eight and

511
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 1: a half or minus the eight and a half. So

512
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: I think we're okay in terms of the line. I

513
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 1: think the problem with the Jags that you look at

514
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: their secondary and I mean, my Homes just just tore

515
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: them apart. Guys, just wide open missed assignments. Now I

516
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: kind of look at the Texans offense and what they

517
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: were able to do against the Saints. I could I

518
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: could see uh Watson doing the same thing to the

519
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: Jags that Mahomes did so little, you know, That's why

520
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: the line is so high. But I think the line

521
00:28:54,800 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: is right, all right, that's fair. Uh, Cincinnati so one

522
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: point favorite at home against the Niners. Listen, interesting games

523
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: from these two teams this past week. I just set

524
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: this line, what are the wise guys playing well? Actually,

525
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: I think we dropped the ball on this one. Uh

526
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: just a ton of Bengal money already we opened the

527
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: line uh minus two and one of the most heavily

528
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: bet games on the board, and we already swung to

529
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals uh minus one. So this might have been

530
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: a game where actually we should have made an adjustment

531
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: after week one, and we didn't. You look at that game,

532
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, the Bengals and the Seahawks, and he's trying

533
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: not to take too much out of that game, but

534
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: how much of it was the Bengals playing really well

535
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: or how much was the Seahawks playing poorly? So the

536
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: sharp guy definitely gave us an indication of whatever forty

537
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: Niners win against the Buccaneers, maybe not as impressive and uh,

538
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,239
Speaker 1: just a lot of money on the Bengals. I think

539
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: they're right on this one. I take accounts identical, so

540
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: I think we're going to see fifty fifty from the public.

541
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: But but yeah, the Bengals. If you're just looking at

542
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: point spreads, and we talked about about this last week.

543
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't even look at the teams, but you

544
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: look at the point spreads. UH. This is a case

545
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: where all the Bengals have to do is win the

546
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: game at home or even now, after the line moved,

547
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: their only minus one, so it looks like a play

548
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: full disclosure. I bet the Bengals minus one after the move. Okay,

549
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: I didn't get I didn't get the best of the number.

550
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: I didn't get the best of the number. But I

551
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: had to play it. All right, We've got history to

552
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: talk about right now. To New England Patriots on the road.

553
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: They opened as sixteen and a half point favorite sixteen.

554
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: It's now up to eighteen and a half, could get

555
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: to nineteen, which will make it the biggest road favorite

556
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: UH in history, according to our bet Labs database. That

557
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: Labs is one of the tools that we use at

558
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: Action Network. You can go sign up for it um

559
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: one of our subscription products. It's any zing Man Scooch. Listen,

560
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: it's an automatic take. You close your eyes, you hold

561
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: your nose, you take the dolphins and you move on.

562
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: You do I mean, when we're making this line, we

563
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: realize all the extenuating circumstances surrounding the turmoil of the Dolphins.

564
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: And but how high do you make it? Do you

565
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: just automatically say it's gonna let's make the highest road

566
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: favorite of all time. Uh, you know, we know how

567
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: great the Patriots are, we know how bad the Dolphins are.

568
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: It's hard to handicap morale. You know, how do you

569
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: handicap morale if you're not there, you know, in the

570
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: locker room all the time. It's such an intangible you know,

571
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: the talent on the team, you know what they're capable of.

572
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: But you know, it's like a fighter thrown in the towel,

573
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: you know. So hopefully they keep this competitive. And the

574
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: one thing about the Patriots is they don't ever let

575
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: their foot off the gas pedal. It doesn't matter who

576
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: they're playing or what the score is. And it's one

577
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: of the reasons why the public just love to bet them.

578
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: I thought I got about the Dolphins. Yeah, it's an

579
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: automatic take. Just don't watch it. It will make you sick.

580
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: Not not only don't watch it, like it's an automatic loss,

581
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: I just feel crappy doing it. You don't make a

582
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 1: living betting against the Patriots. I know. A wise man

583
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: said that to me once Chiefs are eight point favorites

584
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: on the road against Oakland. Another one, like, yeah, both

585
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: of these teams that the Chiefs and the Patriots are

586
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: sort of annihilating every principle we've ever considered about road

587
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: favorites there. They're too explosive. Yeah, they really are. Just

588
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: what an incredible offense and so many weapons. Uh, you know,

589
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: it's they're fun team to watch. Uh. I'd really love

590
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: them to to to see them going up a really

591
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: good defense and just see seeing one of those you know,

592
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: top offenses again the pop defense. Uh in this one,

593
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, again another case where we didn't make too

594
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: many adjustments. And this is the same line you would

595
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: have seen prior to the Raiders game Monday night where

596
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: they actually looked pretty good. But we know, we know

597
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 1: what the public is going to be doing in this one.

598
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: We know they're gonna be all over the Chiefs, So

599
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: let's make it as high as we can. And I

600
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 1: think we have the right number because we haven't seen

601
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: any sharp action one way or the other on this one.

602
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: Kind of kind of similar to to that Texans game

603
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: we just talked about. Um, we're sitting there at eight,

604
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: haven't moved it yet and uh, and the sharp guys

605
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: haven't weighed in. The public is obviously uh uh on

606
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: the favorite, but not not as big as some of

607
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 1: the other games on the board. Give it time, I

608
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: will Chicago Bears. I actually think this is the right line.

609
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears two points favorite, two point favorites on the

610
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: road and its Denver Like neither of these teams showed.

611
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: The Bears are probably better than much. The ceiling on

612
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: the Bears is probably much much higher from the floor

613
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: that we saw on Thursday than the ceiling that the

614
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: Broncos is from what we saw on Monday night. Yeah,

615
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: well said, and I see this line just going up.

616
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: So um, if you're looking to bet the Bears, now

617
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: is probably the time. I actually raised it a little

618
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: bit this morning, and I can by the post closer

619
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: to three. Um. You know, if you look at who

620
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: which team, like you said, has more of an upside

621
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: the Bears, Uh, look at that same team that they

622
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: had last year, essentially, And I think the Broncos were

623
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: a little overrated. We talked about them early on getting

624
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: a lot of action, um during the summer with the

625
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: Broncos to win the Super Bowl and thinking that you know,

626
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: getting getting Flacco was kind of the missing piece and

627
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: they only had a quarterback to get over that hump.

628
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: But I I think that hype was a little too much.

629
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, with the Bears playing a little

630
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: poorly in Week one, I look for them to kind

631
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: of rebound in this one. Next game is the Rams

632
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: is three point favorites over the Saints. We got three

633
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: more games to go, Sunday afternoon games, Sunday night game,

634
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: and Monday night game. Rams is three point favorites over

635
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: the Saints. Um, I like the Rams in this game? Wow?

636
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: I mean what do you say about this? Obviously you

637
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: think the Saints have a little little revenge and no wait, no, no, no, no, no,

638
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: I like the Saints in this game. Oh you like

639
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: to say? Ok, I got distracted. You know, Darren Ravella

640
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: is coming on after you. We're gonna do our super

641
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: Contest picks and he just texted me to let me

642
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: know that he's outside the door, and so I lost

643
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: my concentration. Okay, yeah, So I I mean, yeah, what

644
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: do you say about this one? Uh? It's another one

645
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: like the Vikings Packers, where two great teams going head

646
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: to head. Uh talked about trying to handicap emotion or

647
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: handicap morale. Uh. This would be a perfect, you know,

648
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:12,479
Speaker 1: case study on how players perform and under circumstances around

649
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: last year and how their Saints season ended. So right now,

650
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: the public is kind of tossed on this one, slightly

651
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: favoring the Saints but not overwhelming. Uh. Sharp guys haven't

652
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,919
Speaker 1: weighed in on this one. I don't think the sharp

653
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: guys would want to lay the three on the Rams

654
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: against a you know, a great team like the Saints. Uh.

655
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: If anything, I think they take it. But I like

656
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: the number and I think it's pretty solid. This is

657
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: different to me than the Vikings and the Packers. It's

658
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: nuanced idea. But this is the national afternoon game with

659
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 1: teams in a rematch from the NFC title game who

660
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: just won big games. Like um, I feel like people

661
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: are gonna want to figure out aside. Whereas Minnesota Green

662
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: Bay they'll happily skip and not try to figure it out,

663
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: whereas here people are gonna want an opinion. No, that's

664
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: a great point. And in the afternoon games, when you

665
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: only have three games to choose from, people aren't want

666
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: to want to just skip over it. So just because

667
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: they can't figure out the line, so they'll definitely want

668
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: action in this one. Philly is now at one point

669
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: fair against Atlanta. I think this game open pick, and

670
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 1: the money came in on Philly, probably from the public.

671
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: I think the wise guys sit this one out until

672
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: they get to a better number from the on the Falcons.

673
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: I moved this one to two early this morning from

674
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 1: one we did open pick. We got some early money

675
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: on the Eagles. I went right to two. But because

676
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: this is the Sunday night game and all those parlays

677
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: rolling into it and the amount of exposure we're going

678
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: to have going to the Eagles, Uh, we would rather

679
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: be on the high side. So I'm going to keep

680
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: inching this just a few bets and see at what

681
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: point the sharp I start taking the Falcons. They haven't

682
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: taken the two, which means I'm going to want the

683
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 1: two in the hand here. Really think they take two

684
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: and a half, But I definitely think you'll see some

685
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 1: threes that won't at some point, and I'm wait until

686
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: it gets it three and I'll take it. Anna, I've

687
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 1: never heard you take Atlanta in any circumstances. Why would

688
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: I say this? That's stupid. Hate you hate the Falcons.

689
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: Hate the Falcons. That was dumb. I can't think if

690
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 1: I said that, let me re evaluate that. I don't

691
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: want to be I don't want to be stuck to

692
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 1: a decision yet. Alright, last game Monday night before scooch Roulette,

693
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: and then Darren Revel's coming in and me and him

694
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: and Simon Hunter are doing our uh super contest picks

695
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,439
Speaker 1: Cleveland two and a half point favorite on the road

696
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: at the Jets. I like this, I like this. I

697
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 1: would take the I would take the Browns in this game. Really, Yeah,

698
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: that's that's rare to take a road favorite like this. Um,

699
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: but the public agrees with you on this one, sharp,

700
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: guys haven't weighed in yet. Uh, this is probably one

701
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: where you know the public isn't just they're not going

702
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: to give up on the Browns. Just talking of that

703
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: we we one performance, they're gonna be all over the

704
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 1: Browns in this one. Might be another case where you

705
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: see it three by game time. So if you're gonna

706
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:01,919
Speaker 1: bet the Browns, you probably want them now at two

707
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:07,720
Speaker 1: and a half. All right, it's time for everybody's favorite

708
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: part of the show. Music. Please, I'd like to wait

709
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: till the last note is wrong. I saw that. That's great,

710
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,439
Speaker 1: give me your pick, Screws. Do you get to go first?

711
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 1: Because I think you won last week? Okay? Well, I

712
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: hate to be on the same side as uh as

713
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 1: the wise guys, but I think Cincinnati's the right plate

714
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: minus one at home, and you mentioned you already played it,

715
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: so that just reinforced it for me. All right, you

716
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna go with him? What But here's

717
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 1: what I want from you. We know this line is

718
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: going to move in the direction I need. So I

719
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: want you to give me half a point, right now,

720
00:39:55,719 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 1: give you half a point is uh, let's a good deal. Yeah.

721
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: I want you to give me Pittsburgh minus three and

722
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: a half over Seattle. Okay, I'll do that. It's going

723
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 1: that way. It is going that way. Yeah, so that's

724
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: not a strategy. Give me Pittsburgh minus three. Come on now,

725
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: no way, I find Pittsburgh minus three. Pittsburgh minus three,

726
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: I'll lay the three and a half, all right, I

727
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: got Pittsburgh. Patrick, We make a note, Patrick, the producer,

728
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: make a note. I have Pittsburgh three at minus three

729
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: and a half. Scooch has Cincinnati minus one that we

730
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 1: can keep track for next week. So now I don't

731
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: have to listen. Now, now I don't have to listen

732

785
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: I did, I was. I was four and one in

00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: in my money bets that I made. I felt pretty

788
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: good and I felt really good. That are big conversation

789
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: was about the Chiefs and the Jaguars, and the Chiefs

790
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: did it and the Jaguars actually might be that bad.

791
00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: They might they might be that bad. Need to move

792
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: back a little bit. I don't know if you've ever

793
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: done any kind of television, radio or podcasting or anything,

794
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: but how's that you're a little bit too there you go?

795
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: How's that? Patrick? The producers? I've done this once or

796
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: twice before. But is that okay? You look good? Okay?

Speaker 1: to me, you listen. Also should be noted you're playing

799
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 1: a little bit hurt. You did the one chip challenge

800
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: of like the super Red Dragon Pepper Chip Carolina Reapers

801
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: top Skollville units. I thank you for giving me an

802
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: extra ten minutes. I am. I'm much better than I

803
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: was ten minutes. And so just also so we know,

804
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: two guys from Action Network who did it with you

805
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 1: have already gone home. One has gone home, and one

806
00:44:40,239 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: is down for the count. Definitely not productive today for sure. Okay,

807
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 1: that's good, it's good. Well, thank god, it's just Tuesday. Um, Darren,

808
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: let's not dilly dally. Let's talk about your picks right now.

809
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: You know, I know the one that you're gonna absolutely

810
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: go nuts over, And I just feel so good I

811
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: know it's basically the biggest point spread, and no, no,

812
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: we're not doing this. But the Patriots are just that

813
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: good and the Dolphins are just that bad that I'd

814
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: recommend that eighteen and a half we enter the Super

815
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: Contest with the Patriots to cover against the Dolphins next.

816
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: That's how you dismissed me with the Jaguars Chiefs when

817
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: I said the Chiefs, all the sharps are on the

818
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: Jaguars Brown's Jets. I think, as I thought last week,

819
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: the Browns are totally overrated. They are uh, they are

820
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: not the sum of their parts, they are each individual parts,

821
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: especially with Odell Beckham and his hundred nine dollar watch.

822
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:54,439
Speaker 1: I was not that upset with the Jets. Yeah, they

823
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: poached it normal Jets style, But I like the Jets

824
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: at home. They're two and a half point dogs, right, yeah,

825
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: take them alright, So I like the Browns in this game.

826
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: But I could be convinced. I could totally be convinced.

827
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: I do think there are five better picks on the

828
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: board than the Jets than the Jets minus two and

829
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 1: a half. There might be ten better picks on the

830
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: board than the Patriots minus eighteen and a half. Listen,

831
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 1: the NFL is so tough. I truly believe it is.

832
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: While we all want to bet it, it is clearly

833
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: not the best sport to bet. It is so difficult,

834
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: and I just like the challenge. I think, which has

835
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: made me stupid of doing Brown's Jets, because I think

836
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: now you'll have the value of saying, well the brown

837
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: You still get value out of the Browns being not

838
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,799
Speaker 1: as good as we thought, because it's week two, if

839
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: that is true, So I I like them. I like

840
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 1: the Jets two and a half point dogs, Eagles, Falcons. Jesus,

841
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: you're picking like every game. That makes me sick to

842
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: my stomach. Uh. Eagles got off to a very slow start.

843
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: Um the Falcons, I am. You know, we have information,

844
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 1: but I'm not really leaning anywhere. I think. I think

845
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles will know what they're doing. They barely won. Uh.

846
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 1: You know there were ten point favorites last week. Do

847
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: we take that game? No? Uh? I think the Eagles

848
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: is one point favorites on the road. I like the Eagles. Well,

849
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,919
Speaker 1: the Eagles are two and a half point favorites now

850
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 1: are Well that's where so the super Contest line is

851
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: gonna wherever it is Okay, I'm fine with two as

852
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: long as it's not three and a half. All right,

853
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: let me explain something to you. Do you know that

854
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: you are basically making all the public pics but like

855
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: violating every cardinal rule of betting, which is don't take

856
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: road favorites. That's all you're doing is taking road favorites

857
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,720
Speaker 1: right now. I don't I don't realize I'm taking road favorites.

858
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: I know I'm not. The Jets are at home. You fine,

859
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: but I'm just taking who I think. You've just decided

860
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,760
Speaker 1: their road favorites. And that's my strategy. It's not my strategy.

861
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: It's not my strategy. I'm just picking who I think. Anyway,

862
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: let's go again. Go ahead, who's next? You got two

863
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: more picks? Okay, now I'm gonna take and now I'm

864
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: gonna take a road dog. The Arizona Cardinals as almost

865
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: a two point two touchdown dog in Baltimore. So Baltimore

866
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: went completely crazy. The Dolphins stink this pick. Yeah, this

867
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: is a definite for us of it. So that was

868
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: my So that was my number two pick. I'm doing

869
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: in order five, three, two, one. That's gone. The ones

870
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: that you're learning a little good. It's like you're you're

871
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: the students, so he's learning from thirteen and a half. Okay, fine,

872
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: and my number one pick, you're not gonna I know

873
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: you're not gonna like it. Away favorite Dallas, who cares

874
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: about FedEx Field doesn't disgust me. I think the Giants

875
00:48:57,719 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: stink um, but I was impressed with the Cowboys play

876
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: week one. Uh five. I like that number as long

877
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: as it doesn't get to seven. We have to discuss

878
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: what happens if something changes, obviously, but we have to

879
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 1: put in our picks now. But as long as it

880
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 1: doesn't get to seven, I'm good. I like Dallas. So again,

881
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,839
Speaker 1: reviewing my picks, I like Dallas. That's a five their

882
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 1: five point favorite uh at Washington. I like the Arizona

883
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals as thirteen and a half point dogs in Baltimore.

884
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: I like the Eagles as what to two and a

885
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: half in Atlanta favorites. I like the Jets as two

886
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: and a half point dogs at home. And I like

887
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots to cover eighteen and a half

888
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 1: in Miami. Alright, so those are really good picks. Um,

889
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Patrick Simon's number. We're gonna call him up.

890
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you my picks right now. UM with

891
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 1: you on the Cardinals. Let's definitely the Cardinals plus thirteen

892
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: and a half. I like the Giants plus two and

893
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: a half against the Buffalo Bills, and I like him

894
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: better than any pick. You have a couple of reasons.

895
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: Number one, I always like a home team that is

896
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: a short dog. Um. Number two, I feel like everyone

897
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: is betting on the Bills and the reason they're their favorite.

898
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 1: I quoted this is in the first part of the

899
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: podcast with Bob Scucci. A public perception point spread. It's

900
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:33,600
Speaker 1: a triple p public perception point spread. Uh. The Giants

901
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: underdogs because they got blown up by the Cowboys in

902
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: one quarter who looked amazing and like world beaters. The

903
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: Bills are favorites because everyone ultimately they won, but they

904
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 1: still did not play great, and only that people only

905
00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 1: saw the final score and heard the highlights. Oh my god,

906
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,319
Speaker 1: the Bills came back. Nobody was watching that game at

907
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 1: that game, right, But you're right, but I'm saying it

908
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 1: was not that convincing they won. I agree with you.

909
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: So I like the Giants plus two and half. Let's

910
00:50:58,600 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: put that in. I like that. All right, So now

911
00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 1: we got to the Bengals as one point favorites. I

912
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: didn't watch the game against the Seahawks. They played really well.

913
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,640
Speaker 1: The Niners were lucky to beat the Bucks. Um. But

914
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm just doing it because that's what the wise guys

915
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,359
Speaker 1: are doing right now. I'm not I'm not convinced on that. Well,

916
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: you know what, Simon Hunter is going to come on

917
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: and he's gonna make a decision for us. I like

918
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers has four point favorites over the Seattle Seahawks. Again,

919
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: I think that the Seahawks are a little overvalued, um.

920
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: And I think that the Steelers are way undervalued for

921
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 1: getting blown out by the Patriots on on Sunday night. Okay,

922
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: so that was that Steelers minus four UM and then

923
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: the last game that I want to bet. Sorry about

924
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: that people, You just you know, I got rubbed at

925
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: the microphone a little too close to my to my

926
00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: sweatshirt here, Um, why don't you just just the Patriots

927
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: with me? Come on, it's fun way, But I will

928
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: do the cults plus three? What to feel about the Colts.

929
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 1: I don't think I got any week one information from them, really,

930
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,280
Speaker 1: what I What I got is that it's not a disaster.

931
00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: What I got is that, like, there's probably just too much. Again,

932
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,160
Speaker 1: it's week two. It's over reaction. You know. Week two

933
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: is over reaction week. So like the Titans blew up

934
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: the Browns, everybody thought was going to the super Bowl.

935
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: So now bookmakers are thinking, Okay, everyone thinks the Titans

936
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 1: are so great, and now they're going to overvalue them

937
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 1: against the Colts, who actually left a lot of points

938
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: on the field against the Chargers and probably could have

939
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:40,800
Speaker 1: won that game instead of losing it, and over to

940
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:42,439
Speaker 1: That's what we have to do this week to win.

941
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: We have to play the over values from week one.

942
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: All right, So we're gonna bring Simon in. Simon Hunter,

943
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: are you on the phone? Yes, Oh man, you helped

944
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: us to a big win last week, because you know,

945
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: we went three and two and you got us on

946
00:52:58,320 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, and I think that was the deal break

947
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,560
Speaker 1: her there, that's the one that put us over the top.

948
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that was That was definitely a no sweat

949
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: kind of game. I knew about five minutes and I

950
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: was gonna be one. Do you look at that game

951
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: and think, oh my god, the Cowboys are world beaters,

952
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: and that's an indication of what they're going to be

953
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,319
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. Or was that not

954
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: at all? That's definitely a spot where just notoriously, Cowboys

955
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: at home against a divisional rival, they're gonna I knew

956
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 1: that matchup wise, they're gonna be more more ready for

957
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 1: that game, and the Giants were gonna be I think

958
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: I told you ays that line was off, but I

959
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: don't know they're gonna kill them that that well, No,

960
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 1: I was shocked by that. But that what you were

961
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 1: bringing up is like a great point because we can

962
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: talk about that Redskins Cowboys game because Darren loves it

963
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: and wants to make it part of our picks for

964
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: the Super Contest. How did you do in the Super

965
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,439
Speaker 1: Contest this past week? By the way, I did good

966
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: in Gold. We do a little we do weird with Gold,

967
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: we do chalk, so we I think we lost on

968
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: the Browns and we had the Cowboys rams um Houston

969
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 1: with the plus seven and then we did the Vikings.

970
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 1: What does that mean? You do chuck? So like you're

971
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: only taking sides that we might have sa the sharps

972
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 1: because it's mainly sharps in that competition, so we do

973
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 1: we do a little differently before. Yeah, that's totally interesting.

974
00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: And then how did you do in the in the

975
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:26,960
Speaker 1: you know, the pedestrian contest that Darren Iron unfortunately went

976
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,399
Speaker 1: three and two. I mean I was all about taking

977
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 1: the Raiders when I got talked out of it and

978
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: they went Denver. So we lost on the Denver one.

979
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 1: And you were all about the Jaguars. Yeah, yeah, I

980
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 1: was waiting for that one. Uh, when I get a

981
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: system that can predict that to be getting hurt on

982
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: his first touchdown, definitely, that's true. That's true. Yeah, that

983
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: was that was a bad one. But I mean it's

984
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: after that in the defense, I've think got in a

985
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: fight the next series out with the Chiefs. I was

986
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:56,919
Speaker 1: just like, well, that's that's a bad one. Well, look

987
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 1: like you and I were texting on Sunday and like,

988
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: you know, not just it wasn't Nick Foles. It was

989
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: like you look good, he looked Gardner Minshu looked great,

990
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: Nick Foles looked fun. But it was like the defense preferring,

991
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: I texted, the defense preferring to fight the Chiefs instead

992
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: of tackle the Chiefs. I think is what really did

993
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: us in. I mean, how do you do that home

994
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: in week one in front of your home crown? It

995
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 1: was pathetically embarrassing. I don't get much to say about

996
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: go ahead, I do. I do understand why he was

997
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: just like that. That was a terrible call. I mean,

998
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 1: at the Sami Watkins start sounds just like, oh boy,

999
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 1: here we go. Yeah, I know, right, all right, so

1000
00:55:32,280 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: you make a great point about the Cowboys. They're now

1001
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: five point favorites on the road at Washington. This should

1002
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: be a classic wise Guy play, like you've got sprinted

1003
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 1: to the window on Sunday night. As soon as I

1004
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: saw that number, I think I got Washington at six

1005
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: and a half. You guys drive me nuts. You guys

1006
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: drive I know, I know. It's so, that's that's one

1007
00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 1: of those I knew you're gonna say that. We didn't

1008
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: have to put that line there because that's too sharp.

1009
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:04,320
Speaker 1: That's that's definitely one of those huge pros. It's massive

1010
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: pros versus joes. But also like at the number we

1011
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,280
Speaker 1: would get in the super contest, it's already lost the value,

1012
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: Like it said, a dead number right now, there's no

1013
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: seven to keep counting, all right, I said, if it

1014
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: got to seven. I don't want a part of it.

1015
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:21,360
Speaker 1: But but but Joe Willie Ravel won last week in

1016
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: the pros versus Joe's so that is very true. Good.

1017
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 1: That was a great, great week for Joe public. Over

1018
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:29,919
Speaker 1: the long haul, I'd rather be on the sharp side

1019
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:34,799
Speaker 1: than the Joe side. We're partners, We're not divergent here.

1020
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: We have the same goal of taking home the one

1021
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 1: point five Millie. All right, so we um, Darren and

1022
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: I both agree on the Cardinals plus thirteen and a half?

1023
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 1: Really yeah, um, I like the mentality, but I don't.

1024
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge fan of rookies on the road

1025
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:55,839
Speaker 1: in their first start, especially against Harriball is a great,

1026
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: great coach. I mean Baltimore. I told you I think

1027
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: in week three of the precis and I love Baltimore.

1028
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 1: Week one, I couldn't get enough of that line. So

1029
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: I don't like that spout there. Actually, all right, I'm

1030
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: taking it off the list. Really he gets does he

1031
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: get the right to undo what we agree to? Is

1032
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: he the third cog here is that contractually he's better

1033
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: at this than we are. So that's off now because

1034
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't like that's off. I just want to make

1035
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: sure is week two. I want to know the terms

1036
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: and conditions of what's going on here. Again, I'm not

1037
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 1: trying to stay you wrong, but remember last week and

1038
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: you like the Eagles and you like Seattle Seahawks. Yes,

1039
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to steal you wrong here, my man.

1040
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:35,600
Speaker 1: I like when Simon comes after you instead of me.

1041
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: I can take it. If anyone could take it, it's me.

1042
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: You know what Darren loved? He loved the Patriots minus

1043
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 1: eighteen and a half and as a as a pro.

1044
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 1: Obviously we're gonna be on Miami, but they the Patriots

1045
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: break every rule there there are no rules with sports betting.

1046
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: What's so, will you let us take it? I honestly

1047
00:57:56,560 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: would let's do it. This is going to close the

1048
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: twenty one a half, so that's that's by Thursday, it'll

1049
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,640
Speaker 1: be There's no way I will take this. There's no

1050
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: I won't take above. I'm out, So I guess we're

1051
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: probably out. But what about this one? It's such an

1052
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: insane number? What about this? That Patriots defense? Unbelievable, it's scary.

1053
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: The whole thing is, it's unfair. It's Unfair's gonna get it?

1054
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 1: Can't work out from This is just it's unfair, it

1055
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: really is. What about Giants plus two and a half?

1056
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 1: Like you did with the Falcon like with the Redskins.

1057
00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: As soon as I saw this, I was all over it.

1058
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean the kind of game where the Bills,

1059
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: if they were playing a semi competent team, they would

1060
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: have got destroyed. But the Giants are so bad? Um

1061
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:45,919
Speaker 1: I do? I do like the line where I think

1062
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: it's it's up to what plus two and a half? Now? Um,

1063
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: that's another one. Though there's better, there's other better home

1064
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: teams that we could be honest, that that one. Wow,

1065
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: you are like coming after all of our picks. We're

1066
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: not going to submit one pick. You just have one. Sorry,

1067
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: we just have one pick. All right, let's go, We're

1068
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: working through it. What about my what? What? What about my? Uh?

1069
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 1: Jets is two and a half point dog at home?

1070
00:59:12,440 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 1: The Browns are still I'm overreacting maybe on the Browns,

1071
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 1: but I think they are not the sum of their parts.

1072
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 1: They are Odell Beckham and his watch and and and

1073
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and whatever dangerous I I I like the

1074
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: Jets is two and a half point dogs at home.

1075
00:59:32,400 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I love the bills last week because I

1076
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: think we have the band your your home or picks

1077
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 1: of the Jets every week. Um, I do like that

1078
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: spot that I am a Jets fan, but I know

1079
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: so it's like I'm an Eagle San. But I mean

1080
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: I bet against Egos last week and I've been against

1081
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: him this week. Why do you like the Jets in

1082
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,959
Speaker 1: this spot? Uh? The Jets are in a good spider

1083
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: when since they just got embarrassed, and I mean I

1084
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: know the Cleveland's coming embarrassed, but no, no one believes

1085
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: in the Jets. That was horrible, horrible splay. But I

1086
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: mean you knew it was happening, you knew it was

1087
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 1: You let him finish. He's the professional. Um, I just

1088
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: I do I do like to pick with the Jets.

1089
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean a home team. I think they're catching yeah

1090
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: plus two and a half and they're probably getting less

1091
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: than that. I mean, we two. It's it's a great overaction.

1092
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 1: As a sharp, you just you get so much values

1093
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: in these lines. This week our app says it's uh

1094
01:00:28,240 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: that you're getting of the money. Wow, I think that

1095
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: that's going to go up to three in May. All right,

1096
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: you know what, I'll tell you what let's let's let's

1097
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 1: think about the Jets at plus two and a half,

1098
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: and let's what do you think of them? What do

1099
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 1: you think of the Bengals minus one? Um. I love

1100
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: this spot in the sense that like same with the

1101
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: last week in the Bengals, is that it was a

1102
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 1: knew all offense and I know that that's why a

1103
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: lot of people didn't want to take the Bengals. But

1104
01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals always start out really good. I mean, it's

1105
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: the middle of the season where they always just fall

1106
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: apart and disappear. But san fran I don't think every

1107
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,240
Speaker 1: week they can count on two picks six is to

1108
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 1: get them into a game. I mean, everything you said

1109
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: about Jimmy's last week being through, you look very bad.

1110
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: So this is a good spot for the Bengals. I

1111
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: feel like you're not being convincing enough in telling us

1112
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 1: what we should do. I mean, I have other like

1113
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 1: you guys are picking games at where I do. I

1114
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: do like the Bengals, but like with home teams, like

1115
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: I like Pittsburgh a lot. That's like great, it's on

1116
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: my list. Pittsburgh is on my list. I mean Seattle.

1117
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: I think everyone saw last week there their new offense

1118
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: style is going to be to run it and rustle,

1119
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: not to pass that lunch. And you can't be doing

1120
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: that against Pittsburgh at home where they're notorious for big

1121
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,439
Speaker 1: Ben throw for four or five on your doing. Okay,

1122
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: So I I'll just say I'm gonna third that. So

1123
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: we're in on the Steelers right now. I see us

1124
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: doing right now, I have this the Jets plus two

1125
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: and a half, Bengals minus one, Steelers minus four. Okay,

1126
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: And then if if you guys talked about all about

1127
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,040
Speaker 1: the Colts, dude, the Cults are the next one on

1128
01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 1: my list. Cults plus three. I've already bet the Cults

1129
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:20,280
Speaker 1: plus three. I mean, they should have won that game

1130
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 1: by seven. So that's what I think. People got really

1131
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 1: lucky with their Jesus and their bath. That's what I think.

1132
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: I think the Colts like left so many points on

1133
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 1: the field. They got like the Chargers got so lucky

1134
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: to win this game. And it's one of these things

1135
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: where like this is this is another one a public

1136
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 1: perception point spread right, Like everyone saw Tennessee destroy the Browns,

1137
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: big high profile game, and all anyone knows is that

1138
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs that the Cults lost to the Chargers and overtime.

1139
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: They don't really know how they didn't watch the game.

1140
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 1: I need to, I need to, I need to lodge

1141
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: a special request here. I need another Joe Public with

1142
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 1: me because you guys are talking your sharp language all

1143
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 1: over the place here and it really it's it's annoying,

1144
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 1: like this is how we lose the super contest, you

1145
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 1: guys patting each other on the back and saying how

1146
01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:08,120
Speaker 1: great your theories are. I need another Joe Public with

1147
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 1: me next week so that we did that week ago.

1148
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: By the way, we're giving you the Jets. Yes, okay,

1149
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: you have the Jets all right, Simon in your is

1150
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: not that terrible thing? No, I know, I know, I

1151
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:22,800
Speaker 1: know we're gonna be in the money, buddy, I know.

1152
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this, Simon. You did this so well

1153
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 1: last week. You had us on a public favorite on

1154
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Like when you're looking at your numbers, what's

1155
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: the fifth game we should put in there? That is

1156
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:38,040
Speaker 1: a sort of public side that will appease my friend

1157
01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: Darren Um. I don't know if it's the public side

1158
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 1: because I think people are could probably be taken the Saints,

1159
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 1: but I do like l a the Rams tell me why, Um,

1160
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's saying it's six and a half, So

1161
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: I think it's it's more about um, Like I obviously

1162
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:00,360
Speaker 1: put an updated all the numbers of stuff. I'm not

1163
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: overreacting too much the weak one, but l A Rams,

1164
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 1: They're they're line, their d line is incredible and golf

1165
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: played absolutely terrible last week and they were still they

1166
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: were up by ten points. I think at Carolina and

1167
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: that New Orleans team is I think New Orleans showed

1168
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 1: who they were too. So I'm I'm I mean Bill

1169
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: O'Brien wasn't a bad coach. Houston would have won that game.

1170
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 1: Was that defense on that last play where they needed

1171
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: exactly like seven yards and they were playing preven? Yeah, seriously,

1172
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: I honestly was. I had the money line on Houston.

1173
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: I was just like, am I really watching the prevent defense?

1174
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: And all they needed a field goal? Yeah? That was

1175
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 1: pretty stunning, and like everyone just sort of standing on

1176
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 1: the sideline like yep, this is what we're gonna do. Yeah,

1177
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 1: this is this is clearly the best defensive strategy. I

1178
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: actually thought Drew Brees was gonna mess it up because

1179
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: he thought of how he like they confused him with

1180
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 1: how good of a look they gave him? Like it

1181
01:04:57,160 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: was just too easy? Anyway, I I really want our

1182
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 1: fifth pick to be um New England minus eighteen and

1183
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 1: a half so many points, No way. If it's how

1184
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: but if it stays under twenty, we go with it.

1185
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: If it goes above twenty. But this is just stupid,

1186
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: Like why do you want to play against the percentages?

1187
01:05:18,680 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 1: Like do you want to win? One point? You like

1188
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: money more than anybody else. I know I do like money, Like,

1189
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 1: so why do you want to pick a team where

1190
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 1: the percentage is so heavily against you? Like I think

1191
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 1: the dolt who what team? What players are requesting trades

1192
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: after week one? I mean all the percentages. I think

1193
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: that Dolphins are completely dysfunctional. I don't even think they

1194
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 1: want to play. I think they're just we want to

1195
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: be They'll be on the field because they get a paycheck,

1196
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:54,920
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady and Bill Belichick want to ram it

1197
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: down their throats. They want to put up sixty if

1198
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 1: they can. I think this is free money. Signon Simon

1199
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 1: be the time. Wish I can talk him off the ledge,

1200
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 1: but I'm within I love the Patriots to one of

1201
01:06:08,960 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: those games that as a pro like, I had to

1202
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 1: take Miami's money lines. But they're there. They looked like

1203
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: they quit. If I watched that entire Baltimore game. I'm

1204
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: not the points back guy that bought all that money,

1205
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:22,080
Speaker 1: but I had a lot on in the Baltimore game

1206
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 1: and I was just laughing. But they were not trying.

1207
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 1: They do not want to play for that team. Are

1208
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: you guys kidding me that you're both gonna say, let's

1209
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 1: take the Patriots over the Rams. I think it's a

1210
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 1: more comfortable game for me and that and that's ut um.

1211
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: I would go Patriots, all right, as long as it

1212
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 1: does at twenties my number. Okay, if nineteen and a

1213
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 1: half is the last number we take that once it

1214
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: hits twenty, I'll give you the Rams. So what do

1215
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: you guys do for Becca? I mean, I know you're

1216
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: not gonna want to do Denver against you Bears. No

1217
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 1: do we have five now? Well we have five right now.

1218
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 1: But if we don't do that, if the if the

1219
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 1: Patriots never moved, because the Westgate numbers don't come out

1220
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:07,800
Speaker 1: till Wednesday night, we're recording, and I do think it's

1221
01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 1: gonna I won't do do you like Denver against the Bears?

1222
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:17,760
Speaker 1: Is that your next best? Like system play there? I

1223
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:22,320
Speaker 1: mean every year I do this, It's it's unbelievable how

1224
01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 1: under value Denver does in the first two weeks. I

1225
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: think they're nineteen one straight up at home. M so,

1226
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,720
Speaker 1: I mean, just playing the percentages, it's it's one of

1227
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:36,080
Speaker 1: those games where I think Denver is probably gonna close

1228
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 1: at three plus three plus three and a half and

1229
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 1: I don't see if there's winning buy more on the

1230
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 1: field goal. But that's one of those games where everyone

1231
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 1: just watched them on Monday night look terrible. Yeah, I agree,

1232
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 1: I totally agree. All right, so we're gonna we'll go

1233
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 1: with the Patriots and then our backup will be the Broncos. Okay,

1234
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 1: well do you like the Broncos? You guys like Green

1235
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:00,880
Speaker 1: Bay at home? I don't love Green Green Bay to

1236
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 1: me is uh, I don't know what to think of them.

1237
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: They're like, I look at it. Ye, yeah, I don't

1238
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: like this. I don't like this game though, because oh look,

1239
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 1: I should. What I should really say is that it's

1240
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:16,040
Speaker 1: like it's the same philosophy for why I am betting

1241
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: other games, like the Steelers got blown out. The Seahawks

1242
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: are coming in hyped, The Vikings are coming in hyped.

1243
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: The Packers didn't play very well national television games. I

1244
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 1: should be on the Packers. I think like the Packers

1245
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 1: better than the Broncos. I think I just talked myself

1246
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 1: into it. Oh no, no, no, no, let me tell

1247
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 1: you why I'm not Packers. For me, it's like Mike

1248
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: McCarthy should be on the sidelines. He's not. I don't

1249
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 1: know if what I'm just saying, no, no, hold on,

1250
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 1: hold on, I'm saying that it's all false. It's like

1251
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:50,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Is he the Aaron Rodgers of old? Maybe not?

1252
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:54,680
Speaker 1: I have an identity crisis problem with the Packers. I'm

1253
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 1: not saying Mike McCarthy deserves just play a top three

1254
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: defense at home any night. Also, can we not be

1255
01:09:02,000 --> 01:09:06,680
Speaker 1: making decisions based on Darren's psychological issues with Mike McCarthy,

1256
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 1: whether or not he's still in the field, or if

1257
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:11,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is you know, the greatest quarterback who's ever

1258
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 1: played or not? Like, can we can we take the

1259
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 1: advice of the guy who does this for a living?

1260
01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 1: Do you know who I am? Just just once, can

1261
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 1: we take that We're going with the Patriots. If we

1262
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: don't get the Patriots, let's go with the Packers or

1263
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 1: the Broncos. What's the Packers spread three three? They're at home.

1264
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm making an executive decision. We're going

1265
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:40,839
Speaker 1: with the Packers. If we don't go with this pot,

1266
01:09:41,200 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 1: we're going with the Packers. Get this guy a resume, Simon,

1267
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:49,680
Speaker 1: anything else you want to say? Do you feel like

1268
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:51,799
Speaker 1: we ended up in the right place? Let me recap

1269
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:57,320
Speaker 1: Jets um plus uh two and a half Bengals minus

1270
01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:04,640
Speaker 1: Bengals minus one, Steelers minus four Colts plus three Patriots

1271
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 1: as long as it stays below three touchdowns uh and

1272
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 1: if not, then the Packers minus three. I liked before

1273
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:15,879
Speaker 1: I go today is sure side awareness today. So definitely

1274
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:17,880

1275
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 1: phone call. I like that. Today's Tuesday. I like that message.

1276
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 1: And my point is trying not to let it get

1277
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 1: to that point you know someone. Definite always reach out

Speaker 1: for help. Keep an eyeing your friends, see something. I

1290
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:02,200
