Speaker 1: Ka Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old republic a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the Penthouse, the clearing house of
Speaker 1: hot takes. Break Free for something special. The fifth hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now. In the air everywhere,
Speaker 1: and welcome back to the PODCAST, do Joe. This is
Speaker 1: not your normal run of the mill edition of the
Speaker 1: fifth hour, not that it ever is a run of
Speaker 1: the mill edition of the fifth hour, but it is Friday,
Speaker 1: that's when we're recording this, and it's NFL week number three,
Speaker 1: so let's strike up the band and bring in the penny.
Speaker 1: Here we go. Welcome players, you're welcome. It's time now
Speaker 1: penny versus the penny. All right now, we are welcome and,
Speaker 1: as always, the voice of the Penny back again for
Speaker 1: week number three, is Danny G radio. So before we
Speaker 1: look ahead, Danny, we've got to look back at what
Speaker 1: happened in week number two. Not Not a good week.
Speaker 1: I got burned on not one, not two, but three games.
Speaker 1: I had three bad beats. I gave you Cleveland against
Speaker 1: the jets and was winning that game with a couple
Speaker 1: of minutes to go and the Browns decided to drop
Speaker 1: a Turd right on the logo there, Danny. So they
Speaker 1: lost that game. Your raiders. Your raiders decided to not
Speaker 1: finish the game against the cardinals. I gave the eighters
Speaker 1: out as a selection. So I lost that. And the
Speaker 1: L A rams at a three lead over the Atlanta Falcon.
Speaker 1: I guess they decided at a halftime that was unfair.
Speaker 1: So they decided that they would just go out and
Speaker 1: not really try for a stretch in the second half.
Speaker 1: So I lost that one. So I was looking at
Speaker 1: for a good stretch, Danny. I was looking at a
Speaker 1: ten and six week. Again, the bad beat spit me
Speaker 1: and it took us. So I went seven and nine.
Speaker 1: It's a losing record. The Penny, the beneficiary. The penny
Speaker 1: went nine and seven against the spread. So with no knowledge,
Speaker 1: no information, the penny had a winning week yet again.
Speaker 1: And so overall. Now if you look at the overall records,
Speaker 1: I'm still got a winning record thanks to week one,
Speaker 1: seventeen and fifteen. That's a five thirty one winning percentage
Speaker 1: against the spread. The Penny, though, has now taken a
Speaker 1: two game lead. The Penny is nineteen and thirteen and
Speaker 1: that is a five ninety four winning percentage, Danny. So
Speaker 1: the penny has yet again gotten off to a good
Speaker 1: start here after that crazy week. I am the pennies representation.
Speaker 1: The penny had a little sit down with me and
Speaker 1: it's talking about wanting Aaron judge money right now. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: at some point the penny is gonna demand to be
Speaker 1: on television or something like that. At that point we
Speaker 1: might just throw the penny away. It just just might happen.
Speaker 1: So the way this works again, if you're new to
Speaker 1: the PODCAST, if you've never heard penny versus the penny,
Speaker 1: it is sports handicapping for the regular guy. We crunched
Speaker 1: the numbers. I crunched the numbers. It's man versus versus
Speaker 1: an adamant object. Who can pick more winners, someone who
Speaker 1: spends time researching the game has no life like yours truly,
Speaker 1: or a piece of copper? Uh, and we'll find out.
Speaker 1: So let's get right to it here for a week.
Speaker 1: Number three will start out in the early television window.
Speaker 1: Baltimore One and one at New England one on one.
Speaker 1: It's on fuck with Joe Davis, the Voice of the dodgers,
Speaker 1: and Darryl Moose Johnston on the call. The Ravens opened
Speaker 1: a three point favorite in this game. They are favored
Speaker 1: by three. That line has stayed flat. It's the Patriots
Speaker 1: home opener. As far as the handle is concerned, over
Speaker 1: sixty of the money is on Baltimore. Supposed to be
Speaker 1: a typical September day there in New England. No in
Speaker 1: Clement weather, temperatures in the high sixties at Gillette Stadium
Speaker 1: at kickoff, and the Patriots, since Tom Brady left, as
Speaker 1: a home underdog, are three and two against the spread.
Speaker 1: The ravens are seventeen eight in two with Lamar Jackson
Speaker 1: when he has started on the road. So those are
Speaker 1: some of the trends. The pick is in. I'm taking
Speaker 1: the Patriots and I'll tell you why I don't trust
Speaker 1: the Ravens, even though they've been so good on the
Speaker 1: road with Lamar Jackson. That defense is atrocious. In Baltimore
Speaker 1: they've got the worst past defense in the NFL. To
Speaker 1: a tongue about low lit him up late JOE FLACCO
Speaker 1: had over three hundred yards the week before. Uh, this
Speaker 1: is what we call a slump buster game. Mac Jones
Speaker 1: played better in Pittsburgh last week and now he's going
Speaker 1: against a rag tag secondary, no consistent pass rush for
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Should be plenty of time to pick apart
Speaker 1: the Baltimore defense. Now I expect Lamar Jackson to do
Speaker 1: his thing, but patriots will win their home over their
Speaker 1: New England and the Ravens. Twenty Four. The final penny
Speaker 1: is also going with the Patriots. Okay, so we agree
Speaker 1: on that game. The penny clearly feeling like they need
Speaker 1: to piggyback off my work. Next Up, Baltimore two and
Speaker 1: Oh at Miami two and Oh. It's on CBS with
Speaker 1: Kevin Harlan and Trent Green. And I don't know about you,
Speaker 1: Danny and the penny, but this is a game that
Speaker 1: I circled. I want to watch this game. I'm interested
Speaker 1: to see what Miami can do against the big bad bills.
Speaker 1: Who are I had to check my notes on this.
Speaker 1: The bills opened a four and appoint favorite and they
Speaker 1: are favored by six in this game and everyone and
Speaker 1: their uncle betting on Buffalo. overight of the handle is
Speaker 1: on buffalo side. Typical Miami Weather, rain showers, light rain showers,
Speaker 1: temperatures in the mid eighties at hard rock stadium a kickoff.
Speaker 1: So if you look at some of the trends coming
Speaker 1: into this game, that tells you what has happened, not
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. Buffalo is seven and Oh straight
Speaker 1: up and five and two against the spread in their
Speaker 1: last seven against Miami. The bills against the A F
Speaker 1: C East over the last ten Games are eight and
Speaker 1: two against the spread. But Miami, Miami, Miami, and the
Speaker 1: two a tongue of Baloa era. When the dolphins have
Speaker 1: been a home underdog, they've won seventy percent end of
Speaker 1: the time. They are seven in three against the spread
Speaker 1: in Miami. Overall. Their last fifteen games at hard rock
Speaker 1: stadium has been eleven and four against the numbers. So
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different ways you can look at it,
Speaker 1: you can slice it up, but I'm taking the dolphins
Speaker 1: here at home. I know everyone loves the bills and
Speaker 1: the bills have been great the first couple of games.
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has treated these defenses like Plato, but the
Speaker 1: dolphins have the kind of talent that can throw a
Speaker 1: monkey wrench into all that. It's a short week for
Speaker 1: the bills. They go to South Beach, so you've got
Speaker 1: all those mini distractions, and Miami has the long range
Speaker 1: missile launchers with tyree kill and Jalen waddle, and so
Speaker 1: this should be a shootout. I love getting almost a
Speaker 1: touchdown with Miami, a good offensive team. So I say
Speaker 1: the bill's wagon hits a pothole here. Final score. Bills
Speaker 1: will win, but not cover. Buffalo Forty one and the
Speaker 1: dolphins thirty eight. The penny says you're crazy. The bills
Speaker 1: are gonna take this the bills. News Flash to the penny.
Speaker 1: The bills are not going to win and cover every
Speaker 1: game of the season and the playoffs. So knock it off,
Speaker 1: as Ryan Leaf said back in the day, that old
Speaker 1: charger quarterback. Next up for us we go to New
Speaker 1: Jersey and that is the scene where the Cincinnati Bengals,
Speaker 1: at Oh and two, take on the New York jets
Speaker 1: at one and one. It's on the CBS with Iron
Speaker 1: Eagle and Charles Davis. They have the call. The bengals
Speaker 1: opened up a six and a half point road favorite.
Speaker 1: Then people realize, wait a minute, they lost to the
Speaker 1: cowboys last week and their backup quarterback. But the line
Speaker 1: hasn't changed that much, e. A five point line, Cincinnati
Speaker 1: favored on the road. Almost eighty five percent of the
Speaker 1: money is on the bengals. This is one of those
Speaker 1: games where everyone seems to think the bengals just show
Speaker 1: up and they collect to win, an easy win, a
Speaker 1: blowout win. Sunny, mostly sunny, seventy three degrees that kick
Speaker 1: off at metlife stadium. Now, if you look at some
Speaker 1: of the trends on this game, the Bengals, in the
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow era, have played four games as a road
Speaker 1: favorite there, two and two against the spread. The jets
Speaker 1: are five, one and one their last seven against the Bengals,
Speaker 1: but I think that goes back to the boomer Ossias
Speaker 1: in here. They don't play that often. That said, the
Speaker 1: pick is in and I am gonna take the J
Speaker 1: E t S. jets, jets, jets. The main reason is
Speaker 1: I don't believe Joe Burrow is there and he's got
Speaker 1: rubbery legs. If you lose to Mitch Drabinsky and Cooper Rush,
Speaker 1: you can certainly lose to Joe FLACCO. I've been burned, though,
Speaker 1: by the jets. I Bet, I bet on the jets.
Speaker 1: In Week one I lost. I bet against the jets.
Speaker 1: In week two I got burned by that comeback in
Speaker 1: Cleveland like gang green's gotta do a better job of
Speaker 1: getting into the quarterback. Something's going to give here, because
Speaker 1: the jets only have five quarterback pressures and three sacks
Speaker 1: this year, while Cincinnati's offensive line is allowed thirteen sacks.
Speaker 1: So I said last week I wasn't gonna bet on
Speaker 1: the jets again, and here I am. I'm taking the jets.
Speaker 1: I'm a glutton for punishment, but I'm betting against Cincinnati
Speaker 1: until I see a pulse, until I see some heart.
Speaker 1: With that Bengal team, they need a flea bath. I'm
Speaker 1: taking the Bengals to win, but the jets to win
Speaker 1: the money getting those five points. I'll take the five points.
Speaker 1: Bengals twenty seven, jets twenty six. The final the penny
Speaker 1: is also living dangerously on this one. Going with the jets.
Speaker 1: All right, we agree on that. Next up, as we do,
Speaker 1: Benny versus the penny exclusively on the podcast. Tell a friend,
Speaker 1: as we give you inside information every game against the spread.
Speaker 1: Sunday Monday we got you covered. New Orleans, one and
Speaker 1: one at Carolina in an NFC south Donnie Brook Panthers
Speaker 1: come in and Oh and two, it's on Fox. Dan
Speaker 1: Helly and Matt Millen have the call. The saints opened
Speaker 1: up a two and a half point favorite. The line
Speaker 1: on this game is favorite by three. That this is
Speaker 1: not going to have a wide television audience. Uh, this
Speaker 1: game the Panthers surprisingly getting over seventy of the money.
Speaker 1: Mostly Sunny, eighty two degrees that kick off at Bank
Speaker 1: of America Stadium, and so Jamis Winston has played Carolina
Speaker 1: a lot, going back to his Tampa days, and he's
Speaker 1: been in this division his entire career. In the last
Speaker 1: ten matchups, Jamis Winston's just four and six against the
Speaker 1: spread when he's played Carolina and since this has been
Speaker 1: a back and forth seesaw type of situation as the
Speaker 1: last six games. If you've been on Carolina, I know
Speaker 1: you won three. If you've been on Atlanta, you won three.
Speaker 1: Head to head and the pick on this game. I've
Speaker 1: gone back and forth on this, but I'm taking Carolina.
Speaker 1: It's really a game set up for the penny here.
Speaker 1: Both these teams have been befuddled heading this matchup. Carolina
Speaker 1: just playing well enough to lose on late field goals. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Saints One and one, needing a helter skelter come
Speaker 1: back to beat the Lowbi Falcons back in week one.
Speaker 1: So again it's even match up. A slight lean to Carolina.
Speaker 1: They have the healthier quarterback, although not a good quarterback,
Speaker 1: in Baker Mayfield. Alvin Kamara is supposed to be back
Speaker 1: for New Orleans, but Jamis Winston's got a bad back.
Speaker 1: He's got another injury now on top of that. Carolina.
Speaker 1: They win, this time by a field goal. Panthers Twenty
Speaker 1: three and the Saints Twenty. Your final take the panthers
Speaker 1: plus the points and the penny goes with the saints
Speaker 1: to the Penny going the other direction. On that game. Well,
Speaker 1: press on Detroit one and one at Minnesota One and one.
Speaker 1: It's on Fox Brandon Gowden and some guy named Brady
Speaker 1: Quinn who I think does some radio show or something like.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I never heard of him. Kind of
Speaker 1: big time. He was in studio the other day. He
Speaker 1: usually doesn't show from Florida. I was hobbling. I'll explain
Speaker 1: why later on in the weekend, and he he walked
Speaker 1: by me, you know, did not say hello. That was
Speaker 1: not the proper respect, but he probably left as signed
Speaker 1: football for you. Of course. Who doesn't need a Brady
Speaker 1: Quinn Autograph Football? All right, the vikings are a six
Speaker 1: point favorite. They opened up an eight point favorite. As
Speaker 1: far as the handle on this game, the money part
Speaker 1: of it, over SI is on the lions. Mostly Sunny,
Speaker 1: sixty four degrees that kick off at US Bank stadium.
Speaker 1: If you look at some of the trends in this
Speaker 1: game with jared golf and Dan Campbell, the Lions are
Speaker 1: eight and two their last ten against the spread and
Speaker 1: they're also eighting to their last ten as an underdog,
Speaker 1: so that's pretty good. Minnesota is just two and five
Speaker 1: against the spread their last seven when they've had less
Speaker 1: than six days of rest. Remember, the Vikings played not
Speaker 1: well in the Monday night game. So the pick is in.
Speaker 1: I'm taking the lions in this game Detroit. I love
Speaker 1: this aiden Hutchinson. He's been a great gift, Manna from
Speaker 1: Heaven there for the Lions Defense. He's living up to
Speaker 1: the building of a top draft pick and he should
Speaker 1: wreck havoc on kirk cousins. Not Neither one of these
Speaker 1: teams has a great defense. The good news is this
Speaker 1: is not a prime time game, so cousins will not
Speaker 1: seemingly poop the bed like he does in every other
Speaker 1: primetime game. This is not that. It's early. The lions
Speaker 1: are averaging over thirty five points per game. They've got
Speaker 1: some sneaky good playmakers. This game figures to be who
Speaker 1: has the ball lass is going to win. It should
Speaker 1: be a track meet. I love me Detroit plus the
Speaker 1: points here with Dan Campbell. This comes down to the
Speaker 1: bitter end. Lions the right side here as a live
Speaker 1: road dog. Detroit. The dogs are marking Detroit thirty eight,
Speaker 1: Minnesota thirty five. The final. The Penny says the Vikings
Speaker 1: are gonna be the victors and the penny's a dumbass.
Speaker 1: All right, please, none of that nonsense with the penny. Alright,
Speaker 1: moving on as we continue. Benny versus the penny. The
Speaker 1: next game up. Any meany mighty mall. Let's go now
Speaker 1: to in the Annapolis Canah City, two and Oh at Indianapolis, Oh,
Speaker 1: one and one. It's on CBS with Jim Nance and
Speaker 1: tone knee role mall. That is the match up. That
Speaker 1: is the broadcast team. The line on this game. The
Speaker 1: chiefs opened a three point favorite. Then, after watching Indianapolis
Speaker 1: Puke all over the field and Jackson will get shut out,
Speaker 1: the chiefs got bumped up to a five and a
Speaker 1: half point favorite. A five and a half point favorite
Speaker 1: for Kansas City, and this game being played at Lucas
Speaker 1: Oil stadium, a dome, so the weather not a factor.
Speaker 1: Kansas City you think of them blowing everyone out, dominating.
Speaker 1: But when the chiefs have been favorite on the road
Speaker 1: by seven or more points with Patrick Mahomes, they're just
Speaker 1: five and five against the spread. And the last ten
Speaker 1: games the chiefs have played against teams with a losing record,
Speaker 1: they are three and seven. The colts, for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: have had Andy Reid's number of late. Last eight matchups.
Speaker 1: The colts are six and two against the spread and
Speaker 1: I am gonna take the colts in this game and
Speaker 1: tell you why. You throw caution the win. It's part
Speaker 1: of this this gamming. I know he did a monologue
Speaker 1: this week ripping the Indianapolis Colts Quarterback, Matt Ryan. He
Speaker 1: has looked old, he has looked slow, he has looked
Speaker 1: like he should go to the glue factory, and indie
Speaker 1: overall has been an embarrassment. There is no excuse for
Speaker 1: not being able to go off to a tour, and
Speaker 1: I start with Houston and Jacksonville. That said, everyone is
Speaker 1: betting their their mortgage, it seems like, on Kansas City
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of big bets that have come
Speaker 1: in on the chiefs and Patrick Mahomes has been living
Speaker 1: on a high wire act. If you look at the
Speaker 1: some of the advanced stats, he has the eighth highest
Speaker 1: turnover worthy play rate among quarterbacks, but he has no interceptions.
Speaker 1: Eventually that is going to catch up to you. Those
Speaker 1: receipts become due and you're gonna have to pay the man. Uh.
Speaker 1: Is this the week? The Culture gonna need some of that.
Speaker 1: They're getting guys back. They've had a lot of players
Speaker 1: out wide, receivers, defensive players who are allegedly they're getting
Speaker 1: some of those players back, uh, and we'll see if
Speaker 1: that happens or not. But Jonathan Taylor will be able
Speaker 1: to get some yards there against the Kansas City defense,
Speaker 1: and there's a rule if it looks too easy, it
Speaker 1: probably is to go the other direction. The chiefs win,
Speaker 1: but the colts win the money. Kansas City thirty three,
Speaker 1: Indianapolis thirty the final and the penny is gonna go
Speaker 1: with the chiefs. Okay, so the penny taking the chiefs
Speaker 1: on that one. We move on now to Danny G's
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. The raiders, they're traveling circus, heads to Nashville,
Speaker 1: Tennessee and match up with the titans. Couple of Oh
Speaker 1: and two teams. It's on Fox, so you better watch.
Speaker 1: Our old pal friend of the show, Kenny Albert, along
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Vilma, have the call. The Game Open. To
Speaker 1: pick them. The raiders are actually a two and a
Speaker 1: half point favorite. The money is almost even. There's a
Speaker 1: slight lean to the titans and the forecast calls for
Speaker 1: some light rain in the area. Temperatures in the mid
Speaker 1: seventies at Nissan Stadium for kickoff. Not Too many trends
Speaker 1: on this game. The raiders are two and five against
Speaker 1: the spread their last seven as a road favorite. They've
Speaker 1: been a terrible bet as a road favorite. But what
Speaker 1: the hell, I'm taking the raiders here. This is more
Speaker 1: of a play against the Tennessee titans than it is
Speaker 1: on Las Vegas. The titans are a disorganized bunch. Now
Speaker 1: they have a short week. They're a battle scarred team.
Speaker 1: They lost their top Lineman, the rock of that offensive line,
Speaker 1: Taylor Luwan, he's gone, and Eric Henry, as good as
Speaker 1: he has been. Are you going to be able to
Speaker 1: run the ball if you fall behind? They fell behind
Speaker 1: against Buffalo and Henry was averaging less than two yards
Speaker 1: for the balance of that game. The raiders should have,
Speaker 1: could have, would have beaten Arizona. It's the same old
Speaker 1: raiders like get a big lead, blow it, and I
Speaker 1: know that Derek Carr can't give me an entire game,
Speaker 1: but one good half from car should be enough this week,
Speaker 1: because Ryan Tandell is that bad and all the injuries,
Speaker 1: the raiders defense should be able to keep tannehill under wraps.
Speaker 1: So the raiders get their first win and the Josh
Speaker 1: mcdaniels Hera at Raiders Thirty and the Titans Twenty three
Speaker 1: is your final. Wow, this is the very first time
Speaker 1: that the penny has picked the raiders. Is that a
Speaker 1: good omen? Oh well, we'll find out on Sunday afternoon
Speaker 1: whether or not you're in a good mood or a
Speaker 1: bad mood. All right, next up, PHILADELPHIA. Oh my God,
Speaker 1: the Eagles are some God. Oh my God, that's what
Speaker 1: everyone's saying right now. Eagles two or old hey. They
Speaker 1: did kick the snot out of the Vikings of the
Speaker 1: money night game and Washington is one and one. It's
Speaker 1: on Fox with Adam Amin and mark slayer. They have
Speaker 1: to call. The Eagles opened up a three point fat
Speaker 1: and they went up to their nest and they're now
Speaker 1: a six and a half point road favorite. Down six
Speaker 1: and a half point road favorite. Slight lean as far
Speaker 1: as the handle to the birds. And again the forecast
Speaker 1: year's rain showers overnight, but by the time kickoff comes around,
Speaker 1: temperatures in the mid seventies at Fedex field. Some of
Speaker 1: the trends on this game. Ron Rivera's coach. Washington has
Speaker 1: a winning record as a home underdog. They're six five
Speaker 1: and one, and the team formerly known as the Redskins
Speaker 1: is ten four and one their last fifteen when they
Speaker 1: play a team that is coming off short rest like Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: So I am gonna take the commanders in this game.
Speaker 1: That's right, I'm taking come at Carson Wentz revenge game,
Speaker 1: although I'm not betting this game because of Carson Wentz.
Speaker 1: Not a big selling point. Although he has gone over
Speaker 1: three hundred yards, he makes a lot of mistakes. Three
Speaker 1: yards every game. Jalen hurts put on a clinic against
Speaker 1: the Vikings. I don't think you can play any better
Speaker 1: than that. There's gonna be a bit of a regression
Speaker 1: to the mean. Everyone is loading up on the eagles now.
Speaker 1: In general, there's been a lot of big bets on Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: The value is on Washington divisional game. You're getting almost
Speaker 1: a touchdown and I realized that Washington is a pedestrian team.
Speaker 1: They're not really good. They're not really bad in any
Speaker 1: area offense and defense, but getting that almost a touchdown
Speaker 1: here at home too much for me to pass up.
Speaker 1: So the eagles will win it, but the commanders will
Speaker 1: win the Bet Philly and the commander's twenty one. The
Speaker 1: final penny likes jalen hurts and the eagles. Alright, the
Speaker 1: Penny's going with the chalk. Living dangerously betting big road favorites.
Speaker 1: Next up for us the last of the early games
Speaker 1: and the television window. Houston all one on one at
Speaker 1: Chicago at one on one. It's on CBS with Andrew
Speaker 1: Catalan and James Lofton. The bears opened up a three
Speaker 1: point favorite. The bears are still favorite by two and
Speaker 1: a half and the handle UH slight lean to the
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, as temperatures in the low seventies, a kickoff
Speaker 1: at soldier field, and Chicago with Josh or Justin Fields
Speaker 1: under center. They are three and seven, three and seven
Speaker 1: against the spread their last ten with Mr Fields. The
Speaker 1: bears are also one in six against the spread their
Speaker 1: last seven after playing Green Bay. So this is a
Speaker 1: very tough game to handicap because both teams blow. The
Speaker 1: bears suck more than the Texans, slightly, slightly, although the
Speaker 1: game is in Chicago. Neither quarterback here is worth their salt.
Speaker 1: Certainly not telling you to bet on the Texans because
Speaker 1: if Davis Mills the guy's a bum, but at least
Speaker 1: Houston will attempt the forward past justin fields isn't hiding
Speaker 1: for Chicago, and you have to continue to bet against
Speaker 1: the bears. They are the quintessential hot mess. They don't
Speaker 1: really run the ball well, they don't even try to
Speaker 1: throw the ball well. They have a pretty mediocre defense
Speaker 1: and now as we get later in the season, still
Speaker 1: early in the season, but as we get further on,
Speaker 1: the injuries start piling up. So I will take the
Speaker 1: Texans Seventeen and the bears sixteen. Houston the right side
Speaker 1: in this game. The Penny is going with the Texans. Okay,
Speaker 1: so agreement on that particular game. Next up for US
Speaker 1: Jacksonville at the Los Angeles chargers of Inglewood, and both
Speaker 1: these teams coming in one and one. It's on CBS.
Speaker 1: Greg Gumbel, who ate sports talk radio, and Adam Arch Aletta,
Speaker 1: oh I worked with years ago at NBC. Those are
Speaker 1: the broadcasters for this game and the game open up
Speaker 1: the chargers a nine and a half point favorite, a
Speaker 1: massive number. It's went down. The chargers are still favored
Speaker 1: by seven and the handle in this game. The numbers
Speaker 1: that we have about seventy, little more than that on
Speaker 1: the side of the chargers. Typical l a day so
Speaker 1: fi stadium, not a dome. So Fi, it's not a
Speaker 1: dome because it's open on both sides. Eighty one degrees
Speaker 1: and Sonny in the hood in Inglewood. And as far
Speaker 1: as the trends are concerned, couple of stand out here.
Speaker 1: chargers are seven and all against the spread their last
Speaker 1: seven head to head with Jacksonville, but remember they don't
Speaker 1: play that often and the Jags, with Trevor Lawrence under center,
Speaker 1: have been one in six against the spread on the
Speaker 1: road their last seven. So it has not gone well
Speaker 1: for Lawrence on the road. It hasn't gone well for
Speaker 1: Lawrence just about anywhere in Jacksonville. But I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Jackson this game. Justin Herbert's got bad ribs. He
Speaker 1: is expected to play, as we're doing. Benny Brusus the penny,
Speaker 1: but what version are YOU gonna get? The chargers do
Speaker 1: have a little bit of extra rest. That should give
Speaker 1: them a bump. They played on the Thursday night game.
Speaker 1: But I've liked what I've seen from Jacksonville. They had
Speaker 1: the lead in week one, they blew it against Washington
Speaker 1: and then in week two they played a complete game
Speaker 1: against the banged up colts team. But you look around
Speaker 1: and you're like, Hey, wait a minute, defense, we'll be
Speaker 1: able to get some pressure. Jacksonville's defense against Herbert forced
Speaker 1: him into some mistakes. Meanwhile, we love Trevor Lawrence. He
Speaker 1: had the best game, the greatest game he's had as
Speaker 1: a pro since coming out of Clemson. He finally looked
Speaker 1: like the guy that was the Unicorn quarterback, and so
Speaker 1: we are going yet again with Jacksonville this week. We'll
Speaker 1: take the jazz EGS. Third Week in a row we're
Speaker 1: on the side of the team from Duval County, but
Speaker 1: the chargers will win. The jags will cover the line
Speaker 1: and win the bet. chargers thirty Jaguars the final. Did
Speaker 1: you miss that breaking news for Montery the other day? No,
Speaker 1: I did not hear that. What was the breaking news
Speaker 1: from our friend months Herbert was seen at practice skipping.
Speaker 1: Oh really, was he skipping like like an elementary school
Speaker 1: playground skipping? Are you sure that he wasn't eating skippy
Speaker 1: peanut butter, that that was what he was he was
Speaker 1: possible he was eating that and the peanut butter. The
Speaker 1: Penny says fuck, you're skipping and his going with the JAGS.
Speaker 1: All right, so we agree on that game. Next up,
Speaker 1: Green Bay at Tampa Bay. It's on Fox Kevin Burkhard
Speaker 1: and Greg Olsen. The bucking years opened up a three
Speaker 1: point favorite. They are favored by one in this game
Speaker 1: and about seventy over seventy percent of the money is
Speaker 1: on the cheeseheads. If you look at the handle at
Speaker 1: Raymond James Stadium Sonny and temperatures in the mid eighties.
Speaker 1: That kick off some of the trends going into this game.
Speaker 1: The buccaneers eight and two against the spread their last
Speaker 1: ten home games on Sunday. That's a lot of qualifiers.
Speaker 1: Tampa is ten, four and one against the spread the
Speaker 1: last fifteen at home in Tom Brady's reign. Uh. And
Speaker 1: you go back and forth on these things and I
Speaker 1: I have settled on the home team. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the buccaneers in this game. It's the game I went
Speaker 1: back and forth on. Tom Brady has looked his age.
Speaker 1: He's played more like the guy at the end when
Speaker 1: he was with the Patriots then he he has like
Speaker 1: the guy that showed up in Tampa the first couple
Speaker 1: of years. He's been sluggish. Mike Evans is not playing.
Speaker 1: He got suspended and I think that Danny G radio
Speaker 1: is actually starting as the third receiver in the Bucks Office.
Speaker 1: They're going flotsam and Jetsam at receiver. So despite that,
Speaker 1: I just I'm going with Tampa here. I don't trust
Speaker 1: the packer wide receivers. A ween over the teddy bears
Speaker 1: the last week does not give you any kind of
Speaker 1: street cred in my book. So these teams are evenly matched.
Speaker 1: I do like the Tampa Defense, which has been the
Speaker 1: real deal here. To rock the boat, the packer boat, buccaneers,
Speaker 1: packers one the final and the penny is going with Tampa. Okay,
Speaker 1: so another game where we agree on next up, ATLANTA
Speaker 1: AT SEATTLE. Atlanta Falcons coming oh into Seattle. One and one.
Speaker 1: It's on Fox. Part of the Fox Sports Radio ALUMNIS
Speaker 1: those station. Chris Myers has the call and Robert Smith.
Speaker 1: Robert Smith as also in the booth there, the old
Speaker 1: Ohio State Buck Guy Back in the day. So the
Speaker 1: lion opened up Seattle by three. This game is a
Speaker 1: pick them and a large, large percentage of the handle
Speaker 1: is on the side of the Falcons over close to
Speaker 1: n and that normally raises a red flag to me,
Speaker 1: as this game will be played at Lumen field, has
Speaker 1: had a lot of names over these by couple lumen
Speaker 1: field there in Seattle, sunny and temperatures in the seventies
Speaker 1: of kickoff. Trend in this game Seattle five and ten,
Speaker 1: the last fifteen as a favorite of seven points or less.
Speaker 1: And so against my better judgment, I'm gonna take the Falcons.
Speaker 1: But the real reason here is I'm betting against Geno Smith.
Speaker 1: The Real Geno Smith has arrived. Get the vomit comment ready.
Speaker 1: He's a pilot of the vomit comment. Neither one of
Speaker 1: these teams is really any good, but Atlanta has has
Speaker 1: shown some some push here on offense. They did take
Speaker 1: advantage of some Ram mistakes last week to get back
Speaker 1: in the game. They also had a big lead that
Speaker 1: they blew against New Orleans, and so these teams are
Speaker 1: relatively even and I say Atlanta gets their first victory
Speaker 1: of the season. They will win this game outright. Falcons
Speaker 1: twenty and the seahawks thirteen. The final and the Penny
Speaker 1: is going with the sea chickens. The sea chickens, it
Speaker 1: is all right. Next up we get to the last
Speaker 1: game in the early television window of the L A
Speaker 1: R I am is at one and one in the
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals, also at one on one. It's on Fox,
Speaker 1: Kevin Coogler and Mark Sanchez, sanchies, the Butt Fumble Guy,
Speaker 1: on the call. Yeah, you know the rams are not
Speaker 1: playing well right now when Mark Sanchez is calling a
Speaker 1: lot of their games there that's that's the sign things
Speaker 1: are not going particularly well. The rams opened up a
Speaker 1: four and a half point favorite. They are favored by
Speaker 1: three and a half now, and the money mostly on
Speaker 1: the cardinals. The public was smitten with Arizona's comeback in
Speaker 1: Vegas last week, cardinals getting almost seventy of the action.
Speaker 1: I don't understand. Now the rams have done very well.
Speaker 1: There was that one hiccup against Kyler Murray, but there's
Speaker 1: six and one against the spread with kyler Murray as
Speaker 1: the opposing quarterback, and the last ten matchups that the
Speaker 1: rams have had sean McVeigh against the cardinals, the rams
Speaker 1: are nine and one against the spread. So I'm on
Speaker 1: the side of Los Angeles. I'm gonna take the rams
Speaker 1: this week. Now the rams have been sloppy. They made
Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes. Matthew Stafford's an interception machine, but
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh has to be licking his chops the great
Speaker 1: offensive mine. The rams offense returned last week against the Falcons,
Speaker 1: and Arizona has the second worst past defense in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and that air attack with Cooper Cup and friends.
Speaker 1: The cardinals win last week was much more of a
Speaker 1: fluke than anything else. It is back to reality for
Speaker 1: Alligator Arms Murray. No fans will be slapping him this week,
Speaker 1: but the Rams Aaron Donald will on the field rams,
Speaker 1: thirty three and the cardinals the final, and the penny
Speaker 1: is also going with your lambs. Alright, so the penny
Speaker 1: on the right side of history. There's been a lot
Speaker 1: of agreement here, which is fine. That's good. Only a
Speaker 1: few games so far that are separate and there's only
Speaker 1: a couple of games left for us to handicap on
Speaker 1: this edition of Benny versus the Penny, man versus coin,
Speaker 1: as we throw it up and throw it down. If
Speaker 1: you're you're just tuning in wondering what this is. I
Speaker 1: don't know how you could just tune in because the
Speaker 1: podcast you have to fast forward. So the way this works,
Speaker 1: Danny is the keeper of the coin. He flips it
Speaker 1: up and the home team is what, Danny, you remember
Speaker 1: what the home team is? You've been flipping the penny here.
Speaker 1: The home team is heads, yeah, and the visiting team
Speaker 1: is tales. That is correct, and so you sit on
Speaker 1: your butt when you go on the road. So the
Speaker 1: visiting team is tales, and that's how we've done it.
Speaker 1: That's how we've always done it, that's what we how
Speaker 1: we will always do it, and that is how this
Speaker 1: is going to go. All right. Next up, we had
Speaker 1: the Sunday night football on and be cee Mike Tariko
Speaker 1: and Chris Collinsworth have the call on this game. The
Speaker 1: forty niners. Big Line change here. Broncos open a three
Speaker 1: point favorite. They're not favorite by one and a half.
Speaker 1: The forty niners are favorite by one and a half
Speaker 1: and the public loves the forty niners. They they can't
Speaker 1: get enough. Almost of the handle in favor of the
Speaker 1: team from the bay area. Some of the trends in
Speaker 1: this game. Russell Wilson, very good in his career in
Speaker 1: night games. Twenty two and fourteen against the spread back
Speaker 1: in his Seattle days, and Jimmy Garoppolo, whose statistics leave
Speaker 1: a lot to be desired, much to be desired. A
Speaker 1: Nineteen and eight, the forty niners record on the road
Speaker 1: with Garoppolo as the starting quarterback. That is gonna get
Speaker 1: or done. They just find a way to win. But
Speaker 1: there's another side here. Russell Wilson, the forty niners on
Speaker 1: the road against Russell Wilson back in his Seattle days.
Speaker 1: Just two and eight in those games, different scenario, different city.
Speaker 1: All that. The pick is in. I'm gonna take the
Speaker 1: Broncos here. Now, technically the forty niners have the top
Speaker 1: past defense in the NFL, but it is a misleading situation.
Speaker 1: They've played justin fields and Geno Smith this game, all right,
Speaker 1: this game looks too easy and we anticipate the broncos
Speaker 1: closing the gap. They've made a lot of mistakes. They've
Speaker 1: been a poorly coach team here, but they have won
Speaker 1: the statute. They've been able to win the yardage game
Speaker 1: and all that, and they've they've had some bad breaks
Speaker 1: go against them, some of themselves created. But I believe
Speaker 1: the Broncos will taste victory for the second consecutive week.
Speaker 1: And their weird quarterback, who do you see the video
Speaker 1: this week where Russ was on the sidelines and he
Speaker 1: was like a pop warner coach encouraging the team to
Speaker 1: yell out for the defense. What? What? What play runner? Pass?
Speaker 1: Oh my God. Anyway, Broncos, Forty niners twenty four. The final. Ah,
Speaker 1: the penny, you must love Jimmy g going with the niners. Alright,
Speaker 1: the niners the pick for the penny in the last game.
Speaker 1: Last call for gambling on the NFL. We head to
Speaker 1: Monday night football and it's in Jersey. Couple of NFC
Speaker 1: east rivals. If you're around my age, this was a
Speaker 1: matchup that was like a really big deal when you
Speaker 1: were a kid and it hasn't been a really big
Speaker 1: deal in a long time, but it still gets national
Speaker 1: TV players on ESPN. Dallas one and one, the giants
Speaker 1: off to the two and oh start Joe Buck and
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman. They took that live golf money and they
Speaker 1: are over at ESPN rolling in the money, rolling in
Speaker 1: the money. The giants opened up a four and a
Speaker 1: half point favorite the spread on this game. The giants
Speaker 1: are favored by one and a half, one and a
Speaker 1: half points here in this game. Now some of the trends.
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. Say What you want about the road ton
Speaker 1: coach there, but Mike McCarthy has been rock solid. If
Speaker 1: you bet on the cowboys on the road with Mike
Speaker 1: McCarthy's coach, Dallas Eight and two against the spread, and
Speaker 1: so that has been great. They've also done very well
Speaker 1: over the last twenty five games against the NFC east.
Speaker 1: The Division has been terrible, uh, and so Dallas has
Speaker 1: put up an eighteen and seven record against the spread.
Speaker 1: So there there is that. And also the giants on
Speaker 1: the other hand, even though they're two and oh. This
Speaker 1: season they have been pretty bad in the month of September.
Speaker 1: Of course they've been bad in the month of October,
Speaker 1: the month of November. You can go down list. The
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones quagmire returned. He did not play well, even
Speaker 1: though the giants beat Carol. So I'm gonna take the
Speaker 1: cowboys in this game, taking Dallas Cooper rush with the
Speaker 1: rudimentary offense versus the stumble Bum Daniel Jones and the cowboys.
Speaker 1: A couple of key defensive plays. I'll get a couple
Speaker 1: of mistakes from Daniel Jones. On what will be a cool,
Speaker 1: rainy night at metlife stadium, temperatures in the sixties, light rain.
Speaker 1: I'm taking the cowboys three and the giants twenty the
Speaker 1: final and the penny is going with the giants. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we disagree on that game and that is all
Speaker 1: he said or all she wrote, or however you want
Speaker 1: to do it. Please say the Penny is day. Oh
Speaker 1: they yeah, you asked the penny what the Penny's pronouns are,
Speaker 1: with their preferred PRONU and maybe they can be fluid
Speaker 1: and bounce back and forth. The Penny. I don't know. Anyway.
Speaker 1: All right, that's it. Good kick your ass this week. Yes,
Speaker 1: good luck here. The Penny is going down. I will
Speaker 1: put the Penny on train tracks. The train will come
Speaker 1: down run over the penny. Have you ever seen what
Speaker 1: happens to a penny when the train goes by? It
Speaker 1: Ain't pretty. Uh. And so I will end up back
Speaker 1: in the money, back eat the body wrong. Good luck, though,
Speaker 1: don't don't go crazy, don't bet too much, but make
Speaker 1: sure whatever you do bet turns out to be a winner,
Speaker 1: and we will talk to you next time on the
Speaker 1: Saturday podcast. Back at that, the life of mall or
Speaker 1: the life of Danny g will catch you then later. Skaters,
Speaker 1: up with it.
