1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Welcome players, You're welcome. It's time now penny versus the penny,

2
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: and it is Week fifteen in the NFL. These are

3
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: your free handicapping picks four Week fifteen. Will pick every

4
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 1: game against the spread as we have done, and we

5
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: discourage you to bet ridiculous amounts of money unless you win,

6
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: then we encourage you to tip the dealer. But the

7
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: way this works a little disclaimer here to cover ourselves

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: that that we handicapped. It's a hobby of mind, a

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: handicap these NFL games. Try I think I can predict

10
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen in the NFL games. Uh, and what

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 1: should work. If you're a gambler, you know, you got

12
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: to do your own homework and then if everything matches up.

13
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: If everything matches up, then uh, then we're good. All right,

14
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: then you should probably bet that game. I guess God

15
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: is the voice of the coin. He will not say much, right,

16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: guess skun Well, I will not say much. But I

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: have a great message to convey to you from from

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: somebody else. Okay, your better half was actually spying on

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: us and listening to the podcast, and she said, in

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: a quote you never bug end quote, I never bug,

21
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: I never bug until she's lying. That's pretty quickly. Are

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: you putting your own sidiself to cut yourself on the back?

23
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: I thought it was a narciss thought it was really

24
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: kind of your better half to say that about me.

25
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: Flout her for the words and the compliment. I can

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: use a lot more of those, and some of get

27
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: must from from must have must have had a blind

28
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: moment there, a blind moment and a blind moment. Also, Yes, uh,

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: have you thought about what we're doing for weeks seventeen,

30
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: because that's usually one like weeks seventeen, a week one

31
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: a usually the dangerous times of the year to bet.

32
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: I usually don't bet week seventeen, So I mean we

33
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: can do it. I find it impossible. And uh, there's

34
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: only a couple of games where both teams are trying

35
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: if you don't know the motivation. I don't think you

36
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: can bet on a game, you know, And a lot

37
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 1: of these teams, you know, it's like what they're gonna

38
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 1: play their backups are they're really trying to win the game,

39
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: and they're just gonna rest everyone, And so yeah, we'll

40
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: worry about that then, but I assume we'll probably not

41
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: do it for week seventeen. Maybe we'll only do it

42
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: for a couple of games that matter. Like you're like

43
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: your game will matter, You're Seattle, San Francisco. Games shouldn't matter.

44
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: I suppose that that should. You know absolutely, you know

45
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: in theory now matter depending if Seattle loses this weekend

46
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: to Carolina, that would change things. But we'll we'll find out.

47
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to the games here, Tampa Bay

48
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: six and seven at Detroit three, nine and one, and

49
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: we'll play the Dick Stockton game. It's on Fox. Is

50
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: this the Dick Stockton game? The game? Yeah, this is

51
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: it at Detroit. That is correct. You win the Dick

52
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: Stockton game. Right off the back. Dick Stockton and Mark

53
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: Slayer to have the call. The Buccaneers. They opened a

54
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: four point favorite, their favorite by three and a half.

55
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: It'll be cloudy thirty degrees at Ford Field in Detroit,

56
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: Al those domes so don't really matter. I'm gonna take

57
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: the Lions in this game. And I'll tell you why

58
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: two bad teams you take the points, especially when the

59
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: road team his favorite. I don't trust either one of

60
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: these teams. The Buccaneers is over a field goal favorite

61
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,119
Speaker 1: just does not pass the test from me. Tampa Bay

62
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: didn't all of a sudden become a good team. They're

63
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: a bad team. Now there you can say they're an

64
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: average team. They're six and seven and all that. But

65
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: the main reason again but better against the Buccaneers is

66
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: the cloud around Jamis Winston. He's got a mangled thumb.

67
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna give it the old college try here,

68
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: But how effective is he gonna be? And Winston already

69
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: when his thumb is not messed up, is a mistake

70
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: filled mess. So you know there's the questions about his

71
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: health if he gets knocked out of the game, and

72
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: that means Ryan Griffin is the backup. Good luck on that. Also,

73
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: Tampa has not been good as a road favorite in

74
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: recent years. They have a three oh eight winning percentage

75
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: when favorite on the road in recent seasons. And secondly,

76
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: the Lions have lost six straight, so why would I

77
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,119
Speaker 1: bet on the lines? And and David Blow has played

78
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: like David Blow a lot of this time. I expect

79
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: Blow to have a fine performance this week. The reason

80
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers secondaries a dog's lunch Tampa's thirty feet in

81
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: passing yards allowed. Only Arizona has been worse. So I'm

82
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: gonna bank on a couple of things. I'm gonna bank

83
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: on Jamis Winston throwing a couple of interceptions at least

84
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: with a couple of fumbles. And I'm also gonna bank

85
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: on that Tampa secondary being like cookie dough and the

86
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: Lions being able to move the ball. I believe Detroit

87
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: wins this game, and everyone's betting on the on the Buccaneers,

88
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: and I don't get it. These are two bad teams.

89
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: Lions twenty three bucks, twenty penny is good with the

90
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. All right. Next up Philadelphia six and

91
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: seven at Washington three and ten. Uh, let's say six

92
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: and seven, Yes, six and seven and in three intent.

93
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: So it's it's on Fox. Tom Brennanman and Chris Spielman

94
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: have the call. The Eagles opened up a six point favorite,

95
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: and they are still a six point favorite on the

96
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: road at FedEx Field, cloudy and forty eight degrees at

97
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: kick off in land Over, Maryland. I'm gonna take the

98
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: Redskins in this game, and there's a couple of reasons why.

99
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 1: First of all, Philadelphia brings the mash unit to FedEx Field.

100
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: The right tackle lane. Johnson's got a bad ankle. He

101
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: is not expected to come back this week. I don't

102
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: not play again. Al Sean Jeffrey has done for the year,

103
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: which means Carson Wentz will be without his safety blanket

104
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: protection on the offensive line. He'll have a bunch of

105
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: rejects he's got to throw the ball to again. Philadelphia

106
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: has guys like Boston Scott who actually played well against

107
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: the Giants. J j R. Seaga Whiteside at white Out.

108
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: These are nobody's who are gonna have to play like

109
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: somebody's in order to win the game. And secondly, the

110
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: Eagles have lost to the Giants a couple of weeks ago.

111
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: They had a scratch and claw game against the Giants

112
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: and the Monday night game had to come from behind

113
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: in the second half and go to overtime to win.

114
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: Plus it's a short week. All the pressures on the

115
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: Eagles to win this game. The Redskins, they still have

116
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: some moxie, they still have some fight to him. They

117
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: can run the ball with Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson. I

118
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: would assume we get a lot of work here as well.

119
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: And this rookie Terry McLaren, the wide receiver has been

120
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: pretty good. This game is gonna be ugly, It is

121
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: gonna be close, and Philadelphia has not really taken the

122
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: wood to anybody in a long time. And remember these

123
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: teams played way back in the opener and Washington had

124
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: a seven team point lead at one point against Philadelphia.

125
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: That was a healthy Philadelphia team. Eagles twenty, Redskins seventeen.

126
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: That's a cover for Washington. Penny is going with the

127
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: Eagles on this one. That's a bad job by the

128
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: Penny alright. Next up Chicago at green Bay. We expedite

129
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: the Fifth Hour with Ben Mallard podcast, which is all

130
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: about the NFL. And the next up the Chicago Bears

131
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: the Monsters of the Midway at seven and six of

132
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers at ten and three. It is

133
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: on Fox. You better watch Kevin Burkhart and Charles Davis.

134
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: The Packers opened a seven point favorite. They are currently

135
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: favored by four and a half. This is gonna be

136
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: the coldest game of the weekend. It's gonna be cloudy

137
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: in eighteen degrees at lambeau Field at kickoff for these

138
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: two rivals, that'll go at it. I'm gonna take the

139
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: Bears here plus the four and a half. Mitch Drabinsky

140
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: has he turned the corner. I'm not so sure about that.

141
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: I think that's more about playing crappy teams like the

142
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys and Lions, pathetic teams like that who are disgraceful.

143
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: We will see how things go this week at Lambeau.

144
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: But if you look at the full body of work,

145
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: the Bears have gone three and out on thirty one

146
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: of their drives this season, highest in the NFL. That

147
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: is a direct reflection and a referendum on both the

148
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: head coach, Matt Naggy offensive genius, and Mitch Drabinsky, the

149
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: quarterback now be the Packers, and Rod the ambassador of Bakersfield,

150
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: one of the senior Malla militia guys. So Rod called

151
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: up uh the other day this week and we talked

152
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: about the pack He loves the Packers, and we agreed

153
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: that despite their ten and three record, this has been

154
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: built on like a hill of marshmallows. It there's no

155
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: there's no stability here Green Bay. What's my havnes? Green

156
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: Bay is twenty second in defense. The Falcon and Redskins

157
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: have been better defensively this year than the Packers. The

158
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: cheese Kurds are twenty three in total offense. The Browns,

159
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: the much malign Brown's Jacksonville, with two different quarterbacks, have

160
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: been more efficient on offense. Holy Aaron Rodgers Batman. So

161
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to tell you is they're doing this

162
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: with smoking mirrors here, much like Seattle has done it

163
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: with smoking mirrors. It's going to be a nasty arctic

164
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: day on the frozen tundra of lambeau Field. And I

165
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: expect this to be a close to the vest game

166
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: both teams because of the weather. And you're not gonna

167
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: open up the playbook here. Uh. And green Bay also

168
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: has a big game, a key game coming up with

169
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: the Vikings next week, which could determine the winner of

170
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: the NFC North likely will be the NFC North Championship game.

171
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: So it's a peek a boo spot Packers will win,

172
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: but they won't cover green Bay the Bears twenty three.

173
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: Ben going the opposite way again, Go green Bay Packers.

174
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: That's about job by the penny. Next up New England

175
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: ten and three at Cincinnati one and twelve. It's on

176
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: CBS with Andrew Catalan and James lofton The Patriots opened

177
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: a ten and a half point favorite. As we're doing this,

178
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots are a nine and a half point favorite.

179
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: The weather sunny and thirty five degrees at kick off

180
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. I'm gonna take

181
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: the Bengals plus the nine and a half and my

182
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: my logic mindus until the Patriots find that mojo and

183
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: deliver the hammer to someone again. I haven't done this

184
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: in so long, specifically on offense. I just can't lay

185
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: over a touchdown with the Patriots the way their their

186
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: offense has fallen on hard times. Tom Brady has completed

187
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: just fifty of his past is the last four games.

188
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: That's the lowest in a four game span in his

189
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: entire career. He's playing the worst football of his life.

190
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: He is on pace for just twenty three touchdown passes,

191
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: which would be the lowest in a sixteen game season

192
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: since three way back in the day early in his career.

193
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: And he's also dinged up. So you toss in the

194
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: fact he's got the three stooges at wide receiver there

195
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: and a revolving door of an offensive line. Uh, good

196
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: times here, now, I don't I don't trust the Bengals.

197
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: The Bengals go against a good Patriots defense, but they've

198
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: been able to move the ball between the twenties with

199
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, and that gets you into field goal range.

200
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: And if you're kicking up field goals, you can beat

201
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots the way their offense is going right now.

202
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: Now everyone has gotten healthy against the Bengals defense. So

203
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: that does scare me a little bit. But again, I

204
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: could be completely wrong here. Patriots can win by thirty points,

205
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: but I don't buy it. Without offense, Patriots will win,

206
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: but they won't cover New England Cincinnati fourteen. Oh boy,

207
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: Penny's going with the Patriots. Yeah, well, the Chalky mc

208
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: chalk bet the favorites. That's what the public does, and

209
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: real professional gamblers are willing to go off the grid.

210
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: Next upting, what's that? We're getting trivia? No went off?

211
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: We went off? Time for it? Oh, you're so lazy

212
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: looking Shut up? You want me to trivia? Okay, if

213
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: you want me to do it, I'll do it. You

214
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: want me to do it, smart ass? You want me

215
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: to do it. You want to get you want to

216
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: get trivial, all right, I'll get trivial. Schmuck, I'm gonna

217
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: get trivia. Okay, your old school questions there usually Alright,

218
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 1: we'll only do a couple though. All Right, I am

219
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: the only player in the NFL this season with ten

220
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: plus sacks and two interceptions. All right, and the answer

221
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: coming up here. Next up, Houston eight and five at Tennessee.

222
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: Also eight and five. It's on CBS with Jim Nance

223
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: and Tony Romo. This is a game I am looking

224
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: forward to watching this weekend. The Titans open a one

225
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: and alf point favorite, Tennessee favored by three. It'll be

226
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: cloudy and forty five degrees at kickoff at Nissan Stadium.

227
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Titans in this game as a

228
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: small home favorite. First of all, Deshaun Watson is like

229
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: a kaleidoscope. You don't know what you're gonna get. He

230
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: tosses up a masterpiece a couple of weeks in a row.

231
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: Everyone's saying how great he is, and then he has

232
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: a finger painting performance. Last week against the Broncos, it

233
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: was a public disaster until garbage time. The Texans blew

234
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: a gimme a home game against a losing team with

235
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, and now they travel. They got caught

236
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: looking ahead. Now they traveled into a bee hive in Nashville.

237
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: The public, though, is loading up on Houston. I'm not

238
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 1: feeling I'm not feeling it. And secondly, Ryan Tannehill and

239
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry have been an amazing combo. Now I

240
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: keep thinking that this is a temporary situation. This is

241
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: a house of cards situation. It's all gonna be coming

242
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: come tumbling down, but it hasn't yet. Then I bet

243
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: against Tennessee last week, and I thought they'd be caught

244
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: looking ahead. But Tannehill and Henry are as good as

245
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: peanut butter and jelly as a combo. I mean by land,

246
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: by air, by sea Tennessee right now, their defense is

247
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: starting to click. Has been clicking here. Tennessee has been

248
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: an acid rain on the opposition. And this is a

249
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: the first of two the final part of the year,

250
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: Tennessee in Houston to a f C South showdown games.

251
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: I am going with the home team here. Tennessee. They

252
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: are the more complete team. They've got the quarterback who's

253
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: just been amazing. Of late Titans thirty Texans twenty three.

254
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: A penny's going that way as well. Tennessee Titans al right.

255
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: Next up, all right to pay off the answer on

256
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: the Alright, NFL player the only one this season to

257
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: have ten or more sacks and two interceptions. I'm gonna

258
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: say it's t J. Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Is

259
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: that your final answer? Is my final answer? But you're

260
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: sure you don't want to change your hands? I am

261
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: positive it is t J. Lot of the Pittsburgh stools

262
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: around boxer. Uh, really giving yourself your own applause, unbeliever.

263
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: You got a little toy, though, little little toy. I'm

264
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: glad that you want to get trivial and uh, I

265
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: responded in kind, Yeah, okay, Uh fascinating. Be sure to

Speaker 1: It's on Fox. Friend of the show, Kenny Albert, the

271
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: voice of the New York Rangers the New York States. Yeah,

272
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: Kenny was in town and I could have hung out

273
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: with him at the King's Rangers game. Unfortunately I didn't

274
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: get the message till late, and I had. I was

275
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: unable to attend, so I could have spent a night

276
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: hanging out with the great Kenny Albert. But next time,

277
00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: next time, we'll hang on. Yes we US three. No

278
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: no no, no, h Kenny Albert, Rodney Barber have the call.

279
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: The game is in Carolina at Bank of American Stadium.

280
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: The Seahawks open a four an app point road favorite.

281
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: They are favored by six mostly cloudy fifty degrees that

282
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: kick off. Seattle lost last week to the Rams. I

283
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: tried to find a reason to take Carolina. I love

284
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: home dogs, getting almost a touchdown. I couldn't find one

285
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: reason to pick the Carolina Panthers. I'm gonna take the

286
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: Seahawks here all day. Russell Wilson now he has been

287
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: flea bitten of late last four weeks. Russell Wilson is

288
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: the twenty second ranked quarterback in the NFL. Ryan Fitzpatrick

289
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: has been better. Russ has had only four touchdowns and

290
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: four in receptions since that mid November against the forty Niners.

291
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: The Eagles, Vikings, and Rams are the opponents in that stretch,

292
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: and they have been able to bottle up Russell Wilson.

293
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: Seattle in general has been using these Jedi mine tricks.

294
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: To win these games by the skin on their chinny

295
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: chin chin close to the vest is an understatement. Now

296
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: that said, this is a good situation for Pete Carroll's guys.

297
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: The Panthers have no motivation. They are a rudderless ship.

298
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: They're floating out without an engine in the Atlantic. They

299
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: lay more eggs than a chicken farm. I don't know

300
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 1: how many other ways I can say. Ron Rivera clearly

301
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,239
Speaker 1: wasn't the only problem there. They fired him. They went

302
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: out and got pull locks by Atlanta. This is a

303
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: big bounce back week for the Seahawks. We need them

304
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: to win. We've got the Mallard Man March coming to

305
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: Seattle for that forty niner game in week seventeen. But

306
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: Carolina's fatal flaw is they don't stop the run. The

307
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks are a ground and pound team with Chris Carson

308
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: uh and the other running backs there. So he's in

309
00:17:50,720 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: center square Chris Carson Seahawks Panthers thirteen. Penny is going

310
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: the other way, going with the Carolina Panthers. Alright, very

311
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: very good. Uh, that's a year. What's next year on

312
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny Denver five and eight at Kansas

313
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: City nine and four. It's on CBS. Iron Eagle and

314
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: Dan Fouts have the call. The Chiefs opened a fourteen

315
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: point favorite in this game, and they've been bent down

316
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: to nine and a half. It's gonna be mostly cloudy

317
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: twenty six degrees at kickoff at Arrowhead Stadium in Consas City.

318
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: I wanna take the Broncos in this game. I just

319
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: think this is too many points. The Chiefs are coming

320
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: off their Super Bowl win against the Patriots. They are

321
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: being celebrated and canonised with tributes in Kansas City for

322
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: beating the Belichickian dynasty. And this has the ingredients many

323
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 1: of the ingredients of a handcake special, meaning a flat performance,

324
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: a low energy effort, even though it's a divisional game

325
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: and all that. Plus Patrick Mahomes has an injured hand.

326
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have won three straight games despite the worst

327
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: statistical stretch of Patrick mahomes career last three games. Mahomes

328
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: has sixty passing yards, just three touchdowns, and a passer

329
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: rating below eighty. All of those numbers are career lows

330
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 1: for any three game span of Patrick mahomes career, so

331
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: he's playing as bad as he's ever played in the NFL,

332
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs are still winning most of these games.

333
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: I get that. At secondly, this is a revenge spot

334
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: for Denver. They were humiliated, they were mocked and kicked

335
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: in the nuts back in the game in the Mile

336
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: High City the first time these teams played. The jury

337
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: is still out on Drew Lock. I am not convinced

338
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: that he is the second coming of John Elway. Yet

339
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: he looked great with sensational last week and when I

340
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: saw him play against the Texans um but he's not proven,

341
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: and now he has the enormous task of playing in

342
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: his old backyard. He's from, uh, just a spit ball

343
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 1: away from Kansas City and Arrowheads, the stadium he used

344
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: to go to as a kid. So I think he'll

345
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: be okay. He's not gonna be as good as he

346
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: was last week. Chiefs though, win, but don't cover Chiefs

347
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: twenty eight Broncos twenty four penny Else to go with

348
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos, be sure to catch live editions of

Speaker 1: eleven p m. Pacific. All Right. Next up the Miami

351
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins at three and ten at the New York Football

352
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: Giants at two and eleven and it's on CBS with

353
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: Spiro Adidas and Adam arch Aletta the line. The Giants

354
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: opened three and a half, their favored by three and

355
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: a half right now. The weather in New jery zy

356
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: this weekend on Sunday, cloudy forty six degrees at kick

357
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 1: off at MetLife statement, this is a very difficult game

358
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: to handicap. I look at this like a week seventeen

359
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: game to handicap. I'm gonna take the Dolphins because they're

360
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: the better team. Um, but I don't love the pick u.

361
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: Both of these teams staked first of all, Uh, this

362
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: could be the last chance to bet against Eli Manning,

363
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: so I want to do that before he rides off

364
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: in the sunset. We believe he's gonna start again. Manning

365
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: had a couple of fluke throws in the first half

366
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: before he settled in to serving up vomit for the

367
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: Giants that the vomit commet Elijah. Manning had twenty four

368
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: yards passing in the second half, which included overtime, although

369
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: the Giants didn't get the ball in overtime, but still

370
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: just in the second half. That's not an error. I

371
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: expect a similar performance, a duplicate if you will, this week. Secondly,

372
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: the last four games, Ryan fitzpa Drick has not been terrible.

373
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: He's been in the middle of the pack. He's got

374
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: a better quarterback rating we talked about this than Russell Wilson.

375
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: He's been better than Patrick Mahomes. Both these teams are tanking.

376
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: That's why it's hard to handicap the game because ownership

377
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: and management wants them to lose. The winner will actually

378
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: upset the front office because the master plan is to

379
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 1: get that number, you know, high, not number one. There.

380
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: I think I think these the Giants have a chance.

381
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: The Dolphins really don't have a realistic chance at the

382
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: number one pick because of their wins, So the Giants

383
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: need to keep losing here. They have a shot if

384
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: Cincinnati can win one more game here to to get

385
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: into a tie and possibly take the top spot. But

386
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: I love betting against the dynamic duo of Elijah Manning

387
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: and Pat Shermer in a game that should be broadcast

388
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: on like c SPAN or something like that. Dolphins Giants

389
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: thirteen pen You go with the New York Football Giants

390
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: in this on Alright, let's get to the late television window.

391
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: And this is a classic Jacksonville four and nine in

392
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: Oakland six and seven. You throw out the records in

393
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: this game. You know why you throw out the records

394
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: because they're combined ten and sixteen. Because if you looked

395
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: at the records, you wouldn't watch the game. It's on CBS.

396
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 1: Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon in the former Raider have

397
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: the call. Now. The Raiders opened a four and app

398
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: point favorite. They are now a six and a point favorite.

399
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: Partly sunny and fifty four degrees that kick off at

400
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: the coliseum. And I am gonna take the alrightus, I'm

401
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: gonna lay the six and a half. I'm gonna go

402
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: against every gambling pointer. I look at everything I look

403
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: at here. The Jags and Raiders are the football version

404
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: of cow flatulence. It's like two cows farting out in

405
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: the meadow. All right. They're bad for the environment, the

406
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: green greenhouse gas effect. Jacksonville has managed to go completely

407
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: a wall under Doug Morone in recent weeks. He's on

408
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: the hot seat. He's likely gonna be fired. The Jags

409
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: have allowed a staggering nine sixty eight rushing yards there

410
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: past five games. That's the most they've ever allowed in

411
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: a five game span in franchise history. And they've had

412
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: some bad teams in Jacksonville. This ain't their first rodeo

413
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: with bad football. This is a full chair Nobyl reactor

414
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: for situation for the defense here and and you can

415
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: bind that with the offense that has been bed wedding

416
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: and grinding their teeth of late. It's not a pretty picture. Now.

417
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: The second thing for the Raiders, can they take advantage

418
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: of that that really pathetic run defense. Well, that's an

419
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: open question. Josh Jacobs missed the game last week. He's

420
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: got a shoulder injury. Uh. He has been licking his

421
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: lips thinking about playing. It sounds like he's gonna play.

422
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: John Gruden better throw away the passing offense and run, run, run, run,

423
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: run and run some more. All right, make Jacksonville stop

424
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: your stable of running backs. The Raiders also shook up

425
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 1: the roster. They shook up the locker room after three

426
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: straight blowout losses. They brought in some new faces, trying

427
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: to change the culture around the Raiders on the fly.

428
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: But this is a litmus test to see who's gonna

429
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: gonna get you more fight in this game, I believe

430
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: it will be the Raiders, and the main reason I'm

431
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: betting on the Raiders this is the final game ever

432
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: at the Colisseum in Oakland after forty one seasons of football,

433
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: broken up by a trip to Los Angeles. Um. But

434
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: I expect the Raiders with all the pomp and circumstance

435
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 1: and all the tributes and all that nonsense that I

436
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: hate the cornball stuff. Uh, the Raiders will blow out

437
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: the Jacks. Raiders thirty Jacksonville ten penny is going with

438
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,479
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders. You know what I'd rather do than

439
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: watch this game? What would you rather? I'd rather listen

440
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: to your friend Chris and Houston with a with a

441
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: quick take. No, I wouldn't know that guy's actually awful.

442
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: Never mind that guys sucks. So you realize that you

443
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: hadn't gotten your gratuitous cheap shot at at him. So

444
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: you're like, I gotta I gotta get my cheap shot

445
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: in right now, and before the podcast and a cheap shot,

446
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 1: you had to pivot and wow, well it's a new

447
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: that's a new low for you. Gag on, that's a

448
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: new low. I got plenty of little to get, could

449
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: you turn off your damn phone. Please, my my phone

450
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: is off. Phone. People are blowing you up. Have a

451
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: little respect for what we're doing. Respect late for this

452
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: podcast and on the entire time. I would think it

453
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: would be rude of people to send me messages while

454
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: I am doing the podcast. That's a bad job by them.

455
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: I don't know why that. Yeah, uh huh. Fox Sports

00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 1: want to do another trivial or you're alright, uh, all right, Uh.

461
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: We're looking for the name of a quarterback who had

462
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: five starts in a season in which they completed at

463
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: least eighty percent of their passes, the most by any

464
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: quarterback in a season in NFL history. That goes back

465
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: to nineteen fifties. Since that they start keep keeping track

466
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: of that. That stat they started keeping track of that

467
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 1: st Cleveland six and seven at Arizona three, nine and one.

468
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: It's on CBS with Tom McCarthy and Jay Feeley. The

469
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: Browns open to two and a half point favorite. They

470
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 1: are currently favorite by two and a half sunny sixty

471
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: two degrees at kickoff at State Farm Stadium in the

472
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: Valley of the Sun. I'm gonna take the Browns in

473
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: this game, and I'm going with the public here, and

474
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. First of all, I'm counting on

475
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield showing up and giving me a good effort here.

476
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: Everyone gets healthy against the Cardinals past defense, their thirty

477
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: second in the NFL. The Cardinals have allowed twenty one

478
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: or more points in each of their thirteen games this season.

479
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: You know, many teams in NFL history have allowed that

480
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: many three uh and and it's embarrassed. And that includes,

481
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 1: by the way, the Browns that allowed twenty one plus

482
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: points in more consecutive games to beginning season. However, Baker

483
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: Mayfield's dinged up. He's got a hand injury. He was

484
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: slightly off his game for the Browns last week. He's

485
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: been slightly off his game most of the year. But

486
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: come on, you're playing the worst past defense in the NFL.

487
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: You gotta get right against this team. Secondly, I don't

488
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: hear a lot of braggadocious conversation from Gagon over there

489
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: about the umpa loompa Kyler Murray, who is now playing

490
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: like vomit. He's playing like Peter number one pick in

491
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: the draft. My ass alligator arms Murray the last four

492
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: weeks is the thirty first ranked quarterback in the NFL.

493
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: Keep in mind there's only thirty two teams, and he's

494
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: he's been even worse the last two weeks. His passer

495
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: rating at sixty point five. He looked like he needed

496
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: police protection against the Rams. Last week he was in

497
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: over his head. He was drowning. And the Cardinals you

498
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: partly that and stack that on the fact that they

499
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: can't stop anybody. I'm taking the Browns, Browns thirty, Cardinals

500
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: twenty penny will not let you to fame Kylie Murray,

501
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: and it's going with the Arizona Cardinals. All right, let's

502
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,959
Speaker 1: get trivial here. You wanted to do trivial, so we'll

503
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: get trivial. Uh. Looking at the name of the quarterback

504
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: five starts in a season in which that quarterback completed

505
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: at least of their passes, most by any quarterback in

506
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: any season in NFL. His I'm gonna go with the

507
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: middle reliever Tommy Maddox. Wow, terrible guests because it exposes

508
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: you for not knowing about modern football. The answer is

509
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. This season with the Minnesota Vikings. By sorry,

510
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: speaking of that, Minnesota nine and four at the l

511
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: A Charge It's five and eight. It's on CBS with

512
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: Greg Gumbel and Trent Green. The Vikings a two and

513
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,479
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. They opened a three point favorite.

514
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,719
Speaker 1: The weather sunny in sixty degrees. That kick off in

515
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: l A at Dignity Health Sports Park, which will be

516
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: Minnesota West. It will be the Purple people Eaters overtaking

517
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: the stadium. I'm gonna take the Chargers here, all right,

518
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Chargers here and uh and I'll

519
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: tell you why. First of all, on the surface, the

520
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: Vikings have the better team. They must keep winning to

521
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: make the Plus, this is a let down situation. I'll

522
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: tell you why. The Chargers are not a team that

523
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: inspires a lot of motivation. The Vikings, I predict, will

524
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: be sleepwalking in La La Land. Plus they have an

525
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: epic showdown with the Packers next week. So I don't

526
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: normally talk about trends also, but I gotta I got

527
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: the mother of all trends here about Mike Zimmer and

528
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: the Vikings. This is actually pre date Zimmer Minnesota. Their

529
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: last eleven games played in the Mountain and Pacific time

530
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 1: zone the last decade has a one in ten record.

531
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: They are oh ninety one. They've got to not only

532
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: win the game, they gotta win the game by more

533
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: than a field goal the cover of the spread. That's

534
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: the second worst record in the NFL over the last decade.

535
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: You know're the only team that's been worst. Guest gun no,

536
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: I will. Who do you think? Jacksonville? That's it? Jacksonville

537
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,719
Speaker 1: is the only team is more. Jacksonville's one eleven on

538
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: the West coast the last last ten years. UM. So

539
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: I clearly they traveled by stagecoach the Vikings um and

540
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: they get like typhoid fever or something like that. The

541
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: Chargers are nine in three UH in the in the

542
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: NFL in December here under Anthony Lynn. So they've got

543
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: a very good record. That's actually tied for the best

544
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: record in the NFL over that span. So here's what

545
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,959
Speaker 1: I do. I guess throw to Austin Ekeler, let him

546
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: run wild. UH, mix it up a little bit, put

547
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: pressure on the Vikings. Chargers win the game outright. The

548
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: l A Chargers twenty seven, Vikings twenty penny going up

549
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: tempo with the Minnesota Vacking's all right. Next up Atlanta

550
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: four and nine at Santa clar eleven two, eleven and two.

551
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: It's on Fox and Chris Myers Daryl Johnson have the call.

552
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: Forty Niners on eleven point favor. They opened eleven and

553
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: a half, mostly sunny, fifty five degrees that kick off

554
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 1: at Levi's Stadium. I'm gonna take the Alkins in this

555
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: particular game. Jimmy Garoppolo coming off two emotional heavyweight fights

556
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: against the Ravens lost and against the Saints that's a win.

557
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: So it's human nature for the Niners to exhale against

558
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: a tomato can. And that's just human nature. And if

559
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: you don't play with an age, if you don't play

560
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: with the sharpness, you don't cover a double digit point spread,

561
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: which we have in this game. That's just a fact, Jack,

562
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: or whatever your name is. Plus, Santa Clara closes out

563
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: their season with the Rams and the forty Niners, two

564
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: key divisional matchups coming up to close out the year. Now. Secondly,

565
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: Mattie Ice and the Falcons have actually played better of late.

566
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: They have They've also done pretty well against against mostly

567
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: second right teams. But they've been able to move the

568
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: ball and put points up. And that's all you have

569
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: to do. You just kind of put up some points.

570
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: Here with Julio Owns and whatnot, we're talking about a

571
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: double digit line. The Falcons have had two hundred five

572
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: plays of at least ten yards this season, third most

573
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That'll be enough. I'll get field goals,

574
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: I get a few touchdowns. Forty Niners thirty Falcons twenty.

575
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 1: That's a cover for Atlanta Pentney going with Santa Clara.

576
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 1: All right. Next up, the l A ra Am send

577
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys Rams, damn right, Rams six and seven.

578
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: It's on Fox with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. Suddenly

579
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: the sky is not falling around the Rams. Rams a

580
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: one point favorite in this game. The Cowboys opened a

581
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: four point favorite, and it's all now. The Rams have

582
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: become a one point favorite. The public's betting on the Rams,

583
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: but so are the wise guys. And Uh, it's gonna

584
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: be partly partly sunny or partly cloudy, depending on you

585
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: look at it. Uh sixty two degrees at kickoff and

586
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 1: a T and T Stadium in Arlington Jerry's world. I'm

587
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: gonna take the Rams in this game. The Rams will

588
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: either win big or lose big. I believe they will

589
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: win big. And that has been the pattern this season.

590
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: Nine of the rams thirteen games have been decided by

591
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: double digits. Six wins three losses, tied with Jacksonville for

592
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 1: the most in the NFL. The Good Book says, when

593
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,239
Speaker 1: the Cowboys play a team with a winning record, you

594
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: bet against the Cowboys. When the Cowboys play a team

595
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 1: that has a losing record, and then you you give

596
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: it a shot, even though they did lose to the

597
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,240
Speaker 1: Jets earlier this year. The Cowboys if they play somebody

598
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:38,280
Speaker 1: that has a pulse and doesn't normally go well. Uh

599
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: and and then Dak Prescott also has put up some

600
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: zombie status. He's leading the NFL in passing yards plays

601
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 1: played like a junior varsity quarterback last week for the

602
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: Cowboys until garbage time in Chicago is a little extra

603
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 1: arrest for the Cowboys. But they're a hot mess. Rams

604
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: defense has been nasty. Jared Golf the much more line,

605
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: Jared Golf is snapped out of the funk of late

606
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: and the Rams have found something I think they keep

607
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: it going this week Rams thirty four, how Boys seventeen

608
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: penny also go with the Los Angeles Rams. All right?

609
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: Next up Sunday Night football, Buffalo nine and four, Pittsburgh

610
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: eight and five. It's on CBS with Al Michaels and

611
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth. What are what are you mumbling over there? Yeah?

612
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: I'm actually looking forward to this game. I am looking

613
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: forward to this game also. Yeah, but you're not excited

614
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: about Collinsworth? Is that? No? No, I'm excited, just uh,

615
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, I just wish Buffalo didn't lose last week. Yeah. Well,

616
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers opened a two point favorite. The they they

617
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: actually open at one point favorite. These Steelers are favored

618
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: by two now mostly clear thirty one degrees. That kick

619
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: off at Hines Field. The public is saying, here we

620
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: go Buffalo. I'm not like that though. I'm gonna take

621
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers in this spot, and I'll tell you why.

622
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: A Josh Allen I said he had turned the corner

623
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: and then he did a face plant. It was like

624
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: a vaudeville comedy act last week against the Ravens, and

625
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: a trapdoor opened up and he got zonked and fell

626
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: down into a pit of alligators. He's trying to bounce back.

627
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: He sucked at a time you cannot suck, which was

628
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 1: during the first three quarters of the game against the Ravens.

629
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: He finished with a hundred and forty six yards passing.

630
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 1: Most of that came on one big pass play, and

631
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: even with that, the bill still had a chance to

632
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: beat the Ravens in the fourth quarter. And this is

633
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: also what's called a popular cherry game. You know what,

634
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 1: it's a popular cherry game. Guess gun No, please explain

635
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: it to me. This is the first prime time start

636
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: of Josh Allen's career, and I think it's the first

637
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,919
Speaker 1: prime time game for Buffalo since what like ten years

638
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: ago or fifteen years ago against New England back when

639
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: they had black and white television. They were vanished off

640
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: what is VHS? Yes, Actlee, So, uh, how will he

641
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: do Josh Allen against t J. Watt and a very

642
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: good Steelers defense, an elite Steelers defense. I think they're

643
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: number one in scoring defense. Josh Allen has never thrown

644
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: for three d yards in an NFL game? Did you

645
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: know that that? Uh? He is a run pass combo

646
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: guy who has been a ratic uh, and you knows

647
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: I love the Steelers defense. I'm I'm betting my hat

648
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: on the Steeler defense here. Bud Dupree and Cameron Haywards

649
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: should be righting the grill of Josh Allen. And there's

650
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: also this weird, kind of like fun fact thing. I

651
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: read that Mike Tomlin and Sean McDermott, the two coaches here,

652
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 1: are former teammates under the great Jimmy Laycock at William

653
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: and Mary, So these guys know each I don't go

654
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: way back back in the day. The Steelers are nine

655
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: and six on Sunday Night football at Hines Field under

656
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. Duck Hodges is three and oh as his starter,

657
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: and he's completing about seventy of his passes. The guy

658
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 1: has been ridiculously good at these high percentage passes. He's

659
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: been very accurate. It's working. The formula is working. I

660
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: don't trust Josh Allen. I normally been on the bills,

661
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: but I'm not doing it this week. Pittsburgh at home

662
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: twenty four Buffalo six. Penny says that is a loser.

663
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: Go with the Buffalo Bills, all right. Next up, Monday

664
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: Night Football, Indianapolis six and seven, at New Orleans ten

665
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: and three. It's on ESPN with Joe Testa, Tore and

666
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: the Booger Everyone's favorite booger, Booger McFarland. The Saints opened

667
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: a nine point favorite, and they are currently favored by nine.

668
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: Thunderstorms in the Bayou for Monday Night, but it's in

669
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: a dome, so don't worry about it. At the super Dome,

670
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: the Colts are the pick. Now. The Saints are back

671
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: belly aching about the referees. They feel like there's this

672
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: great global conspiracy against them. They got jobbed against the

673
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: forty Niners last week and they've been raising Holy Hell again,

674
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 1: so they're a slightly distracted team. Drew Brees and Michael

675
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: Thomas are certainly friends, part of a superior team and

676
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: all that stuff. New Orleans is coming off an emotional game,

677
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: a hard fought game. They lost the forty Niners at home,

678
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 1: and now they're playing a team that has a losing

679
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: wreck and the Colts now they're gonna obviously need all

680
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: hands on deck. That the injury report will determine a

681
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: lot of this, whether t Y Hilton plays or doesn't play,

682
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: and several other key players, Jacobe Brissette also scares the

683
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,280
Speaker 1: hell out of me. I'm betting on the Colts. But Brisett.

684
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: Remember when he got off that quick start, and but

685
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 1: he's been exposed. He had fourteen touchdown passes and three

686
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: interceptions and a passer rating of a hundred and one

687
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: the first six games of the year he played. Since then,

688
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: that the last six games Brissette has played, he has

689
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: four touchdowns and three interceptions in a passer rating of

690
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: eighty two. Uh and so I expect more of that

691
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: against the Saints here. But Indianapolis can run the ball

692
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: a little bit. They're a feisty team. They've got a

693
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 1: little bit of moxie still left in him. I expect

694
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: a much better effort by the Colts this week. In general,

695
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: you don't want to be embarrassed on national television, and

696
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: I believe they will not be embarrassed on national television.

697
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: I'll take New Orleans thirty and Indianapolis. Te Ben Penny

698
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: is going with the Saints. Going with the Saints, all right,

699
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 1: That is it. We put the baby to bed there

700
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: and now we do another successful podcast. Well, I don't
