The Colin Coward Podcast 11 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: presented by the Fan Duel Sports Book. Hi everybody, and 12 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: welcome in to our Thursday morning podcast. Now Chad Millman, 13 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: the Best Props, the best bets of the NBA Finals 14 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: is joining us in ten minutes. But first it's time 15 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: for another edition of Fake Questions, Real Answers. There's stuff 16 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: I want to talk about, but don't want to wait 17 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: for you to ask me, Dear Colin. ESPN has metrics 18 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: that say the Celtics have an eighty six percent chance 19 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: of beating the Warriors in the finals. What say you, well, 20 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: I said before the playoffs, there are no great teams, 21 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: and that health could be the deciding factor. If Robert Williams, 22 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: the center for the Celtics, stays healthy, that's a huge 23 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: edge because he has not been healthy on a consistent basis. 24 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: Remember he missed a game against Miami and Bam Aute 25 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: Bayou averaging ten points scored thirty one. But the Warriors 26 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: are not a team that scores a lot of points inside. 27 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: No player averages on The Warriors currently over seven points 28 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: a game inside, while the Celtics have three players averaging eight. Translation, 29 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: Boston will get more easy baskets in this series than 30 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: the Warriors. That's why I think many of the games 31 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: will be close. If Robert Williams is healthy, they'll get 32 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: even fewer. So I think the size and the health 33 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: of Robert Williams are two huge factors. I'll take Warriors 34 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: in six. I don't foresee any blowouts. It's hard to 35 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: blow out a great defensive team like Boston. Dear Colin. 36 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 1: If Steph wins four titles, is that the same as 37 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: Lebron winning four titles? Well, I mean, I guess historically 38 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: that would be true, but these are two different arguments. 39 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: Lebron is being argued as the greatest player ever. I 40 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: think with Steph you're arguing he created the best basketball 41 00:02:54,240 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: culture ever. Off ball movement, three ball shooting, constant in 42 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: motion offensively. Lebron has created briefly some cultures and then 43 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: left them Miami Cleveland twice. That's not what STEP's about. 44 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: Step has built the greatest basketball culture in the last 45 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: what twenty years, and they both matter. Talent with no 46 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: culture is the Brooklyn Nets out in the first round 47 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: the last two years. Good solid talent with great cultures. 48 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: The Miami Heat got to a Game seven and a 49 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler jumper of getting to the NBA Finals. You 50 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 1: need both. There's an argument, though, culture trump's talent overall, 51 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: and that's what STEP's all about. Dear Colin, what was 52 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: the most underrated NBA Finals of all time? Well, I'll 53 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: give you two teams and two finals, the Chicago bull 54 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: and the Utah Jazz in nineteen ninety seven and ninety eight. 55 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: I think people sometimes forget how close those games were 56 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: and often how Michael Jordan struggled to get his thirty 57 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: plus points. Listen, the Bulls and the Jazz were both 58 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: super successful. I think Utah's arguably the best team to 59 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: never win a championship, but the games were tight and 60 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,239 Speaker 1: low scoring. There were three games decided by four points 61 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: or less, and then the nineteen ninety eight finals were 62 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: even closer. Five of the six games decided by five 63 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: points or less, and a majority of games in both 64 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: finals were simply decided by Michael Jordan hitting a big 65 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: shot with one to two minutes left. The Utah Jazz 66 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: in back to back finals, especially the second, gave the 67 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: great Michael Jordan in that Bulls offense fits. His shooting 68 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: percentage dropped, his efficiency dropped, and I think it was 69 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: viewed as potentially a disaster for NBC, small market Utah Jazz, 70 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: not a lot of glamor. It ended up being the 71 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: highest redded NBA finals ever. David against Goliath, and if 72 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: you asked Jordan privately, he would probably acknowledge the toughest 73 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: finals of his life were those Utah, Stockton, T. Bailey, 74 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: the coach, Jerry Sloan, Carl Malone, Brian Russell, a deep bench. 75 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: They were a handful much more than people romanticize this 76 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: series to be about Michael and the shot. Back to 77 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 1: back years, the Jazz gave the Bulls fits. Offensively Dear Colin, 78 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: what do you make of Aaron Donald saying he's at 79 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: peace with possibly retiring for the Rams. He's got three 80 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: years left. He's not retiring when people say publicly, this 81 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: issue is not about the money, it's about the money. 82 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: People say publicly, I am not bothered at all by criticism. 83 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: They're bothered by criticism. And when they say I could 84 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: retire tomorrow, they don't really want to retire tomorrow. Aaron 85 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: Donald's best year was four years ago, and interior lineman 86 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: age much quicker than quarterbacks. I don't think he's the 87 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:30,239 Speaker 1: most important RAM. I think mcvay's one, Stafford two, Cooper 88 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: Cup three, Aaron Donald and the gm less sneed probably four. 89 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: But there's a price on what i'd pay for Aaron Donald. 90 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: He didn't want to quit, just signed a deal for 91 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: shoes with Kanye West. Hard to sell shoes as a 92 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: retired athlete. He'll play and he'll get paid. Dear Colin, 93 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: you were very much in favor of people wearing masks, 94 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: and now you've backed off. What's wrong with you? Well, 95 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: I'm glad you asked listen. I never try to go 96 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: too deep or get too embedded in anything sports opinions 97 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: life opinions, because if new information arrives, I'm going to 98 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 1: pivot to the right side. Initially I thought masks mattered, 99 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: but if you look at data, it suggests that mandates 100 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: with masks have not. I just got back, as many 101 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: of you know, a week vacation in Europe Italy. On 102 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: the airlines, both there and back, you didn't have to 103 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: wear the mask if you were having a cocktail or 104 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: drinking water, or going to the bathroom or eating. That 105 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: constituted roughly forty to fifty percent of my trip, it 106 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: felt like to me and my wife and I talked 107 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: about this at length. It was mostly cosmetic theater. I'm 108 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: not somebody willing to starburn lee stay on a side 109 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: if new information presents itself, what's the point. Don't you 110 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: want to be on the right side. There's a lot 111 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: of things about COVID. Initially, even epidemiologists we're guessing on now. 112 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: There's also people out there that are overly cautious. We've 113 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: all worked with them, we have them in the family. 114 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: There's some people They're going to wear masks forever. That 115 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: is certainly their right and they shouldn't be mocked. I 116 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: just don't happen to be one of those people. Dear 117 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: Colin listening to Adam Carolla and Bill Maher talking about 118 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: Elon Musk going from a Democrat to a conservative, and 119 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: Bill Maher says, how can we stop brilliant people from 120 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: flipping sides? Mars a liberal. My takeaway is a lot 121 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: of people, over the course of a lifetime change sides. Now. 122 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: For instance, in California, almost all my friends, in fact 123 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: all of them are social liberals, but it's a highly 124 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,240 Speaker 1: regulated state and they make it hard for small business, 125 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: so they tend to be fiscal conservatives and have from 126 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: time to time voted for conservatives. Generally speaking, I agree 127 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: with Democrats on important things to me, like gun control 128 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: and the environment. But if you put Bernie Sanders up 129 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: against Mitt Romney, I'm going to Romney because he doesn't 130 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: demonize wealth. That's a big deal for me. Don't tell 131 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: me I'm bad for society. Doesn't mean I'm great every day. 132 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: I'm certainly not hurting it. I'm flexible based on the candidate. 133 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: You go too far left or right, I'll go to 134 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: the other side. And I think there's more people, though 135 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: you'll never see it on social media like me and 136 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: like that than you think. All right, Chad Millman, CCO 137 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: Action Network. All odds provided by FanDuel. All right, So 138 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm not gonna waste any time here 139 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: because I'm going to tell you the single best bet 140 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: in the finals NBA Finals right now, and I feel 141 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: so good about it. I may bet some of my 142 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: real estate on this, and I am a bit of 143 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: a tycoon when it comes to that. So here we go. 144 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: Celtics plus one and a half in the first half 145 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: of Game one. If you look at overly rested teams, 146 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: which the Warriors are, and they're inserting Peyton Returns, Otto, 147 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: Porter returns, Andre Iguadolla returns, so they add three players. 148 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: They have this extended period off. I'm not bet in 149 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: the game Boston will come in. Boston got enough days 150 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: off to mostly a young team guys going into the prime. 151 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: Boston leaves at half game one, strongest bet of the 152 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: entire Finals. I will not hear any dissension on this, 153 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: but what's your thought. I love that you and I 154 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: did not discussed this before we started the podcast. I 155 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: have made two bets on the Finals so far, and 156 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: both of them will give you an indication of which 157 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: way I am leaning, which, by the way, is the 158 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: opposite of what a lot of models are doing right now. 159 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: I have made a bet on Steph Curry at plus 160 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,559 Speaker 1: four twenty on FanDuel to lead the series in average 161 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: points and threes. And I have made a bet on 162 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors minus one and a half in 163 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: the first half of Game one. Not great, not great. Well, 164 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: it depends like you could be right or I could 165 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: be right. You're a real estate tycoon, You're a media tycoon, 166 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: you are ascendant. I'm a guy who you know, has 167 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: already sold his business that is based in sports betting, 168 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: and you know, spent my life doing this. So we 169 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: can let the listeners decide which way to go. But 170 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: I feel like I like the look. I like the 171 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: Warriors in Game one overall at minus three and a half. 172 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: I do worry late in the game there is too 173 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: much foul shooting variants, whereas in the first half I 174 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: like the Warriors to win this game. There is less 175 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: foule shooting variants in the first half. You're just not 176 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: getting the files at the end of At the end 177 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 1: of the first half, it's playing sort of the way 178 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: the game is supposed to play out. I like the 179 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: Warriors coming out strong, having had the rest, knowing the experience, 180 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: knowing the importance of getting out early in games like this, 181 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,319 Speaker 1: also knowing that what they do in the third quarter 182 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: dictates how they do in a game. And I know 183 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: they don't want to go into the third quarter needing 184 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: to have a massive burst the way they have had 185 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: in other games, because the Celtics are a better team. 186 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: They're there teams they played, so it will be harder 187 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: to make that comeback. So I like the Warriors in 188 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: the first half minus one and a half. Yeah, you know, 189 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: Celtic fans are saying, listen, we won back to back 190 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: game sevens, but Milwaukee and Miami essentially you defended one guy. 191 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: There was one elite score on both teams. It's I 192 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: was talking to who was it the other day, an 193 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: executive in the NBA, and he said, you know, the 194 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: problem facing Golden statete is that because of their ball 195 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: movement and players off the ball, a lot of your 196 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: defensive strategies just don't work. So and he said, Jordan Poole, 197 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: Steph Curry, you know, Peyton Wiggins. They have a lot 198 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: of guys that can have quick first steps that can 199 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 1: beat you off the dribble. He says, So they're hard 200 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: to trap because they have a lot of guys. I mean, God, 201 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: Draymond averages six assists a game. He's a catalyst, and 202 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: he was just saying, you know a lot of things 203 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: that work against everybody else. You know. In his point 204 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: was look at the gap between Golden State and Phoenix, 205 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: and we thought Phoenix was excellent, and there you can 206 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,199 Speaker 1: really defend them and there's real limitations and Phoenix doesn't 207 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: play well from behind because they don't shoot threes. He's like, 208 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: it's hard to marginalize the Warriors. They do everything well 209 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: their experience, They manipulate the refs, they manipulate your traps, 210 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: and that to me is the series. I said this, 211 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: I think Boston could outplay the Warriors in four games, 212 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: and the Warriors win the series in five games. I 213 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: have I like the Warriors in six I liked the Warriors. 214 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: And I said this on the Favorite podcast and the 215 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: Volume podcast Network. I had two guys on, Jason timp 216 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: who hosts a podcast on your Network, and one of 217 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: our action analysts for the NBA, and they were both 218 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: on the podcast telling me about why they thought that 219 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: Dallas Warriors series could be more competitive than it was. 220 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: All great logic, great reason, And when it was over, 221 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: I'm like, this is great. It's Warriors in five. And 222 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: as soon as the series for this Celtics and Warriors 223 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: was settled, I thought to myself, Warriors in six. And 224 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: what you're getting a lot of chatter about right now 225 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: is that a lot of models like the Celtics. Right 226 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 1: I've spoken to two or three guys professional betters who 227 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: have the models like in the Celtics. I've spoken to 228 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: more professional betters who are looking at the Warriors at 229 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: one sixty to win the series and loading up just 230 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: thinking how are people? How are the Warriors not minus 231 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: two hundred in this? Because if you look at the 232 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: Celtics offense, it's not as coordinated as you would think, 233 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: and it's a lot of bullrush the basket. It's a 234 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: lot of perimeter shooting around, perimeter shooting from the three. 235 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: And while defensively they're amazing, what you just said holds true, 236 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: it's really hard to adjust against a constantly fluid Warriors offense. 237 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: But also, like I think there's recency bias on the 238 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: Celtics winning game sevens and people giving them more credit 239 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: for that instead of recognizing dudes, if not for a 240 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: Jason Tatum miracle last second layup against the Nets, you 241 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: might not perform so well in that series. If not 242 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: for Chris Middleton going out, you might not win that series. 243 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: If not for Jimmy Butler getting hurt, you might not 244 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: steal a couple games. So I am not looking at 245 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 1: the Celtics thinking what you did in these multiple game 246 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: seven wins is heroic. I'm thinking you kind of let 247 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: these teams stick around and didn't do what you need 248 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: to do to close them out and might have gotten 249 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: some lucky breaks. So that's why I like the Warriors. Yeah, 250 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: you know they also Steph went to college three years, 251 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: Clay three pool to Draymond four. Wiseman played three college games. 252 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: He struggled to adapt. Is that when you look at 253 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: the college and pro experience, Steve Kerr is able to 254 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: do so many things on both ends of the floor. 255 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: This the IQ of this team for the Warriors, like 256 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: it rivals all time teams. I always thought the headles 257 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: between Bosh and Battier and Alan and Wade and Lebron 258 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: and you Donas Haslam and you're like, that's a pretty 259 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: smart team. There's a lot of games there. The playoffs 260 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: are here.

When I look at Golden State, it's 291 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:59,119 Speaker 1: very rare that a dynasty is underappreciated. But if not 292 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: for fall apart physically against the Raptors, and if not 293 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: for one jumper by Kyrie, what does this dynasty look like? Now? 294 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: The Patriots dynasty? You can argue they could have lost 295 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: every Super Bowl except the Rams, or they could have 296 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: won every Super Bowl. The Warriors have actually gotten terrible 297 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: breaks in the finals. If Boget gets hurt, Draymond suspended, 298 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: Curry hurt, Calvs. Win. I mean, I've never seen a 299 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: team in a series fall apart like that against the Raptors. 300 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 1: So I think sometimes we look at this team and 301 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:42,400 Speaker 1: I mean, they really invented the three ball avalanche small ball. Intellectually, 302 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: they're kind not to be It sounds so California's smug, 303 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: but they're kind of way ahead of everybody. And I 304 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 1: think when you go into a series, I mean, they 305 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: completely discombobulated Dallas's offense, and Dallas at the end of 306 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: that series felt significantly better than Phoenix, and Dallas felt lost. 307 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: To me, I don't think Dallas ever figured out Golden State. 308 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 1: I felt I thought, I thought they could have swept him, 309 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: and Dallas is mostly young, so I just think there's 310 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: a bandwidth with the Warriors. It's it's very New England. 311 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: You could literally you know. Damian woodio As tells the 312 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: story when he was in New England, he gets we 313 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: practice a trick play for fourteen weeks. He was every 314 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 1: effing week at practice, and then we used it in 315 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: week fourteen and we were like it was one of 316 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,879 Speaker 1: those Oh. He's like a lot of teams practice it, 317 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,239 Speaker 1: they can't shelve it for two weeks, like they got 318 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: to use it. And he's like, we were just playing. 319 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: He goes, we're just playing a different level. He goes, 320 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: we had card tricks other teams didn't have, and we 321 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: could use them at any time because our team was 322 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: so smart. And that's a long winded way of saying 323 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: I think if these games are close, I don't think 324 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: it's close. I think one team has the ability to 325 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: limit the other and trick the other and more and 326 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: and manipulate the other. So you and I both agree 327 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 1: it sounds like we like the Warriors to win this series. 328 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: So here's a couple of things to think about as 329 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: a better If you like the Warriors to win the series, 330 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: then you've got to think about do you think Steph 331 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: has the best opportunity to be the MVP. He's never 332 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: won it before. The MVP, as much as anything, is 333 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: a narrative award. It's it's a it's a great topic, 334 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: right you You talk about this like you are better 335 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: than anybody at creating a tree of what a topic 336 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: is going to be and then letting branches come off it. 337 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: MVP in the NBA is a narrative award. People love 338 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: to talk about it, and really smart people think about 339 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: who the voters are, right. There's the TV contingent, There's 340 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: the West Coast contingent. There's the beat righted contingent, there's 341 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: the East Coast contingent. There's the people who have social 342 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: media followings. There's the people who are hardcore beat writers. 343 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: There's you know, all of that kind of stuff. So 344 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: a lot of sort of MVP watchers think about the 345 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 1: voting blocks when they're thinking about MVP. Same home. It's 346 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 1: true for NBA Finals, it's a narrative award. Steph has 347 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: yet to win the award. Now. The truth is, Steph 348 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: in the finals has had a really hard time right 349 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: because people key on him defensively and look, Draymond on 350 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: the podcast Has with You has talked about like how 351 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: important Steph is and the double teams he would get 352 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: that allowed, you know, Kevin Durant to sort of blossom 353 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: in the finals. If you believe the Warriors are going 354 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: to win, then you have to believe Steph will have 355 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: a dominant series and that he wins the MVP. STEP's 356 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: odds on Fanlore right now to be the MVP they 357 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: were at plus one twenty. Now they're about plus one 358 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: oh five. So if you like the Warriors to win 359 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: the finals, you could just as easily bet on Steph 360 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 1: at plus one oh five to win MVP and get 361 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: better odds. The better the Warriors at minus one sixty. 362 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: What do you think of that? No, I think you're right. 363 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: I also, who would he compete against in that space. 364 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: Let's say Jason Tatum. But what the Warriors can do 365 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: is send Draymond and Wiggins at Tatum. Marcus Smarts too 366 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: inconsistent of a score, So I think the Warriors think, 367 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: let Jalen Brown beat us. We know Horford's not going 368 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: to beat us. Marcus Smart's not consistent enough to beat 369 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: us Tatum if you lower his efficiency. Like Lucas shot 370 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: forty eight percent against the Sun's forty one against the Warriors, 371 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: so Spencer Dinwiddie, had he shot well in the series, 372 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: could have been a problem. So I think I think 373 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,479 Speaker 1: the Celtics are like, Jalen Brown's going to have a 374 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: really good series, and that will take some of the 375 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: steam out of Jason Tatum, because I think Wiggins is 376 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: so undervalued because he's really the rare number one talent. 377 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: I mean, really is an incredibly twitchy athlete, but in 378 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: this culture he's not in a central core player. But 379 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: yet he was very disrupted to Luca because he can 380 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: just go you can put him right on Tatum and 381 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: just say he's such a twitchy athlete. He doesn't buy 382 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: your pump fakes because he's so quick. He's so quick 383 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 1: vertically he doesn't buy your fakes, and so he just 384 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: he's in your face when you shoot. He lowers your 385 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: shooting percentage. And so the other thing that helps Steph 386 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: is his primary rival in the MVP, Williams doesn't score 387 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: smart and consistent, mand up being Jaylen Brown. And if 388 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: it's close, nobody's giving it to Jaylen Brown. Steph's gonna 389 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: win it because we want Steff to win it. But 390 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: also you gotta like it's also two different teams, right, 391 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: If the Celtics win it, Jaylen Brown could be a 392 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: good bet. If the Celtics, it's going to be the 393 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: whoever wins it, the player from that team is going 394 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: to win. If the Celtics are going to win the series, 395 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: Marcus Smart has to be perfect because he will for 396 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 1: the most part, the Celtic do switch a lot, and 397 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: then Warrior will try to get him into switches, but 398 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: he will have to be on staff. And if the 399 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: Celtics win the series, it's gonna because it's going to 400 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: be because they stop Steph from getting hot, right, and 401 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: that's Marcus Smart. So you could see a Marcus Smart 402 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: at something like thirty to one. It's dropped from forty 403 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: five to one because people are coming in and playing 404 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 1: a little bit of the narrative game and sort of 405 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: the matchup game that you and I are doing right now. 406 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: I think on the Warriors side, if it's not going 407 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: to be staff, the other guy to think about is Draymond, 408 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: because a there's a great narrative. There's nobody more accessible 409 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: than Draymond. Draymond during the finals, will come on his podcast, 410 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: will come on your podcast, We'll go on the T 411 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: and T Show. We'll say something in a postgame press 412 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: conference that will elevate his status and make him a 413 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: centerpiece of a conversation that complimented with the way he 414 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 1: controls the pivot and gets the Warriors in the right 415 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: position with his passes plus his defense and rebounding. If 416 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: the Warriors win and it's not Staff, I would put 417 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: your money and drama. I want to pivot to something Millman. 418 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 1: I want to do some over unders. Now. I love overhunders. 419 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: I love them, and it's not some of these. I 420 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: would wait a little while based on injuries in camp. 421 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: But I have my favorite over of the NFL season. 422 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: So what the Miami Dolphins did in the off season 423 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: was as a franchise pivot to the offensive side of 424 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: the ball. They spent their money on offense. They got 425 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 1: rid of a defensive coach who didn't get along with Tua. 426 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: So my first takeaway is I have and I use 427 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: that as an example with Tua, who I don't think 428 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: is as good as Kirk Cousins. So Mike Zimmer did 429 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: not get along. Flores and Zimmer were essentially fired because 430 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: they didn't get along with their quarterback. We know that 431 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,800 Speaker 1: Flores can coach, and we know that zimmercan coach the 432 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: Vikings over under his eight and a half. And here's 433 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: my sales job. Detroit's Detroit actually has some nice offensive pieces, 434 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: but with Kirk Cousins. Let's say he has a ten 435 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: to fifteen percent elevation in numbers, reasonable considering they have 436 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: now the McVay system. The Packers, by the way, they 437 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: open with the Packers, Aaron not at OTA's has struggled 438 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,679 Speaker 1: with rookie receivers and new parts for years, and they 439 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: have four new wide receivers, either drafted or acquired. I 440 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: think it's five. So that opening week game for Minnesota 441 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: is one of my favorite. Is my favorite bat in 442 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: the opening weekend take the Vikings. Green base started slow 443 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: last year. Green bas had some ugly September games. Aaron 444 00:27:54,240 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: Rodgers brand new pieces offensively, a new right tackle. It's 445 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:06,360 Speaker 1: like interesting, so Minnesota offensive coach packers kind of guessing 446 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: what the Vikings are doing offensively. Cousins elevated they're over 447 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: under his eight and a half. I think they'll be 448 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: the most improved team in the league. We still don't 449 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: know what Chicago is. We kind of know what Dan 450 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: Campbell is. The longer he coaches, the limitations become clear. 451 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: Minnesota over eight and a half. I'm generally an under better. 452 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: I have four other unders. The one over I love 453 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: is the Vikings over eight and a half Milman, What 454 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: do you got? I don't hate it at all. I 455 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: do think that we all go into every season thinking 456 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: the Vikings are undervalued. We love in years past, We've 457 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: loved what Mike Zimmer can do with the defense. We've 458 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: loved how Mike Zimmer in theory can make his defense 459 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: better as the season goes on. We've loved how they 460 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: would always end a year and so we're excited about 461 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: what they can do in the next year. So I 462 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: think we're all sort of have a bias to the 463 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 1: Viking because I think also in the media, a lot 464 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: of us believe Kirk Cousins is a good enough quarterback 465 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: that he doesn't he gets He gets too little credit 466 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: for being good and too much blame for not being 467 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: great in the highest profile moments when everyone sees him. 468 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: But if you're betting, you know week to week he 469 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: can deliver. He can put this team into position to win. 470 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: So I don't hate it. The Vikings, for what it's worth, 471 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: according to our projections, have the eighth easiest schedule in 472 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: the NFL next year, So I don't hate it at all. 473 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: Would you like to guess on the team that started 474 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: getting the most the most over action on their season 475 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: win totals. You know what, I want to guess, bears right, 476 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: it's the right, say cohort of really terrible teams. But 477 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: New York Jets, Oh god, I don't think solican coach. 478 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: I don't think he's a head coach. The Jets are 479 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: number one in tickets and money at FanDuel and several 480 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: other books. We reported a few weeks ago, less than 481 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: two weeks ago. The market is all about the Jets, 482 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: said Fan Duel spokesman Kevin Hennessy. It's not close, but 483 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 1: this is why, sort of, it's why the over under totals, 484 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: the win totals have become such public markets. This is 485 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: entirely based on people deciding Zach Wilson is ascendant. They've 486 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: decided that the Jets because they did the right thing 487 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: and drafted talented players and positions of need, and they 488 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: fell into their lapse in the draft because they were 489 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: so bad they had high draft picks. They're going to 490 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 1: be amazing because Rookie's always turned out great, because that's 491 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: what happens every time, right, And so people love betting 492 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 1: the over on the Jets right now. Half their games 493 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: last year, they looked unprepared, unprepared. Not a single time 494 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: in mcvay's first year that I think a team's unprepared. 495 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: I think solid. Listen, we know seventy five percent of 496 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: coordinators don't work. I think he's over his skis. I 497 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: think he's a great DC. I think he's over his skis. 498 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: It's interesting. Look, I've heard I've heard your rant about 499 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: salad before. Don't disagree with it entirely. I think it's 500 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: a little early to tell on him. What I disagree 501 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: with you is Dan Campbell, where maybe I'm being blind 502 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,719 Speaker 1: or maybe I'm just being emotional because I love the 503 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: way he coaches. I think he can turn this team 504 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: into winners. Not this year, but I think eventually. I'm 505 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: a buyer in the line. Yeah, yeah, I'm a buyer 506 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: at six and a half on Detroit. First of all, 507 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: their offensive personnel Hawkinson, DeAndre Swift, Penet Seul, left tackle 508 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: Coughs good enough, A'mron Saint Brown. I think their offensive 509 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: personnel it's pretty solid. Now. Their problem is a lot 510 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: of stuff over the top, give up a lot of 511 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: big yards in the back end. But I think in 512 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: that division, we don't know what Chicago is I've said 513 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: I think Minnesota wins their division. I have real reservations 514 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: about Green Bay. I mean to give you an example 515 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers trust issues. Amari Rodgers, the slot receiver 516 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: from Clemson, had four catches last year. I mean, this 517 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: is a guy that had family trust issues, personnel trust issues, 518 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: executive front office trust issues. That's Aaron's personality. He struggles 519 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: with that right like he really does. So okay, so 520 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: let me give you my favorite under. So the Cowboys 521 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: are ten and a half. I love the under here. 522 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: So the early schedule, what do we know about Dallas 523 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 1: season ended on a very iffie play call quarterback draw 524 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: can't get up in time, So Mike McCarthy enters this 525 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: season on the hot seat. They open with Brady and Burrow, 526 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: then they've got to go on the road and face 527 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,479 Speaker 1: Philadelphia and the Rams. So right now, that tells you 528 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: these are better teams and teams with momentum. At the 529 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,200 Speaker 1: end of last year. There's a chance they have three 530 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: or four or five early losses in the first eight games, 531 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: and you're going to have a completely divided locker room. 532 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: And now the schedule's got the Giants twice and it's 533 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,959 Speaker 1: you know, it's got Washington twice, but I think Washington 534 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: and Philadelphia are absolutely better, and frankly because Daval and 535 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, the Giants will be better, not great, but better. 536 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: They had a pretty good off season. So ten and 537 00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 1: a half to me, you could almost bank in coaching 538 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: disadvantages throughout the early portions of the season. McCarthy's getting ripped. 539 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: We know their rush edge, rush run game. An old 540 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: line isn't a specialist. Two years ago, Dallas under ten 541 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: and a half on a team that's always overbet feels 542 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: like a really solid play with you for everything you 543 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 1: just said. Plus pull back and look at sort of 544 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: the macro perspective. The Cowboys are. Their win total is 545 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: always inflated because they're the Cowboys. So the bookmakers know 546 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 1: they can take a Cowboys team that shouldn't have more 547 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: than nine wins on the board, that they might not 548 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 1: see as being better than nine wins in a season. 549 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 1: They can make them ten. They can make them ten 550 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: and a half because they know there are so many 551 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: Cowboys fans out there they're just going to bet the 552 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 1: over no matter what the line is. So it's a 553 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: great way for them to bank against some liability on 554 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,240 Speaker 1: the other side, because there's a lot of public sentiment 555 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:10,720 Speaker 1: in favor of the cowboys right this week's gold Metal 556 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 1: performance goes to one of the most underrated athletes we've 557 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: ever seen. Steph Curry is headed to his six NBA 558 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: Finals in eight years and now on the verge of 559 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: joining some elite company with a fourth ring. I've never 560 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,320 Speaker 1: understood the Steph shade. He's not in the goat discussion, 561 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,400 Speaker 1: but he's the most influential player ever. He gives you 562 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: style in the brand. The most importantly, step has always 563 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: been about winning.

Um, 575 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 1: I'm close to betting under on Kansas City ten and 576 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: a half. I think it's going to be hard to 577 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 1: win eleven in that division. I don't I will. To me, 578 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 1: that's the most interesting one. I'm glad you mentioned it 579 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: because because I'm looking at it right now, that is 580 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:42,880 Speaker 1: a terribly hard division. Chargers, Chiefs, Raiders, Broncos Like any 581 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,879 Speaker 1: one of those quarterbacks can win a game no matter 582 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,839 Speaker 1: what the score is in the first half, no matter 583 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 1: what the position is for them. Also, in the final 584 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 1: two minutes all these teams, Raiders elevated their pass rush 585 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:57,000 Speaker 1: Khalil Mack, Chargers elevated their pass rush Randy Gregory totally. 586 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: So they will face three eat pass rushes. You could go. 587 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: I mean, if you go three and three in that 588 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,920 Speaker 1: division near Kansas City, that's I think everybody's gonna do. 589 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: I think this is the first time that I remember 590 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: liking the Raiders. I couldn't say the last time I 591 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: liked the Raiders. I think they're actually Jesus Hunter. Renfro's 592 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: arguably the most talented slot in the league. Davante Adams 593 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: top two to three sideline receiver Darren Waller after Travis 594 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: Kelsey top six running back. Always I've always loved car 595 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 1: solid left tackle Colton Miller. It's like two edge rushers. 596 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: What they have is they have the right the important 597 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:47,319 Speaker 1: positions in twenty twenty two football. Left tackle, quarterback, two receivers, 598 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: edge rushers. I mean the Rams and Bengals had bad 599 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: linebacking corps. Rams had injuries at safety. The interior of 600 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: the old line for the Bengals wasn't good in the 601 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl like there ares now that matter a lot, 602 00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: and the Raiders have a lot of them covered for 603 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: the first time since I can remember. I think Denver's 604 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: the best team in the division. I think Kansas City's 605 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: a wildcard team. I know it just goes against everything 606 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: we believe, but I don't love their defense. I think 607 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:22,120 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill is kind of a field tilter. I'm not 608 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,839 Speaker 1: sure if you can really replace that. I don't think 609 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,880 Speaker 1: they're quite as dynamic. I think you can defend them differently, 610 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 1: and I don't think they can make I think they 611 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 1: have the weakest pass rush in the division. It feels 612 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 1: like a ten and seventeam. Yeah, I agree with you. 613 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: I like the Chiefs under incredibly hard schedule. I don't 614 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,399 Speaker 1: know if I like the Raiders better than I don't 615 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: know if I like the Broncos better than the Chargers. 616 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,719 Speaker 1: If you're betting on someone to win that division, that 617 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: isn't the Chiefs, because I do think the Chargers have 618 00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: a little bit higher ceiling interns of talent. Their defensive 619 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,239 Speaker 1: line is just better than the Broncos. I think they 620 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: match up receiver wise with anybody else in the division. 621 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: And I think justin Herbert, just by virtue of having 622 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: a second a third year now, is going to be 623 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,960 Speaker 1: that much smarter and more effective. And I also think 624 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 1: they learned a lot from sort of the very cavalier 625 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: way they treated their possessions and not trying to get 626 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 1: points at times when they should have been getting points. 627 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,919 Speaker 1: And I think that for Brandon Staley, the coach who 628 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,440 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, like last year, you know, we 629 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 1: saw it in one of those games against Kansas City, 630 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,800 Speaker 1: kept going for it on fourth and goal when getting 631 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: points would have been the smart thing to do, I 632 00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,879 Speaker 1: think he's going to recalibrate his play calling a little bit, 633 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: having learned a lot in that first year and sort 634 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: of what happens to your detriment if you don't give 635 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: some points in specific spots. Yeah, I didn't love all that. 636 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:58,000 Speaker 1: You know, I like my analytics to a degree, but 637 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, and I like my analytics 638 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: unless it's costing me a side that I need, either 639 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: in a total or in a cover. And in that game, 640 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:13,279 Speaker 1: the Chargers were by far the right side at like 641 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: plus three and a half, and they ended up losing 642 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,399 Speaker 1: in overtime and nobody covered, and it was just it 643 00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: was hurtful. It was genuinely hurtful, all right. So right 644 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,840 Speaker 1: now we're going into summer in West Hartford, Connecticut for you, 645 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: summer in Los Angeles for me. I had a lot 646 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 1: of good summers running around the reservoir. What's on tap 647 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 1: for the Millman family this summer? I'm going to switchhold 648 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: in August with my wife. We are going to Italy 649 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,880 Speaker 1: for two weeks, which is going to be amazing me. 650 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: My wife are two kids, one of whom's in college. 651 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 1: And did say, so, you're expecting me to go on 652 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,719 Speaker 1: the trip, right, as if that was going to be 653 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,840 Speaker 1: optional because he wants to be with us so little. 654 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,439 Speaker 1: And then my sister, her husband and their three kids. 655 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 1: There's gonna be nine of us through Florence, a part 656 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:10,879 Speaker 1: of Tuscany, and my wife loves Florence. My wife would 657 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:17,840 Speaker 1: absolutely spend springs in Florence, a great walking city. It's amazing, 658 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:24,760 Speaker 1: it's truly transcendent. All of Italy will be great. I'm 659 00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 1: really excited about that. Here's something that you would find interesting. 660 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,279 Speaker 1: My wife and I had COVID last month. We have 661 00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:34,839 Speaker 1: a fifteen year old son who lives with us because 662 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: the other ones in college. The fifteen year old son, 663 00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: it's proof of how little your teenagers want to spend 664 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: time with you and can ignore you. He never got COVID. 665 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,520 Speaker 1: Both of us in the house for COVID. He found 666 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,720 Speaker 1: a way to ignore us often enough that he never 667 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:58,080 Speaker 1: got COVID. Yeah, kids, I think my kids like me, 668 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:05,520 Speaker 1: but there's no proof of it. Yeah. I think your 669 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: kids like you too, and they will never show you 670 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 1: proof of it. I assume my kids like me, but 671 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 1: they're kind of assholes sometimes. And you know, there are 672 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:23,960 Speaker 1: expectations of what is to be like how we are 673 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,279 Speaker 1: supposed to give to them without them having to give back, 674 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 1: are very high. Well, my wife said, you will love 675 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 1: your kids more than they will love you, and your 676 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 1: kids kids will love will love their kids more than 677 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: they love them. That's just you got to come to 678 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,759 Speaker 1: terms of that's the reality of being a parent, regardless 679 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 1: of generation. How many kids will go with you on 680 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,759 Speaker 1: your trip to Switzerland. Oh none, it's just the two 681 00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 1: year now that I've been to Italy with my wife 682 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,840 Speaker 1: and I am her Italian lover. Yeah, we don't have 683 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,799 Speaker 1: time for kids, you know what I'm saying. So the 684 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,520 Speaker 1: way we look at it is we give them a 685 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: summer vacation. We're going to Turks and Caicos this summer, 686 00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 1: Nantucket next summer. We always give them one big vacation together. 687 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 1: They can bring friends, and then we get our vacation 688 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 1: May and then late August. And we're not guilty about it. 689 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,920 Speaker 1: I'm not guilty at all about it. You shouldn't be 690 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,840 Speaker 1: guilty about it. You've earned it. You're a tycoon. You 691 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: vacation where you want a vacation, when you want a vacation, 692 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,400 Speaker 1: how you want to vacation. That's how I feel about it. 693 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 1: And I want to go to Lake Looser and I 694 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 1: don't want to have some gen z brat all over 695 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: my ass.
