And it rained this weekend, 5 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,840 Speaker 1: first time in what like seven months. Um, I'm not 6 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: laughing because of the election or anything political. I'm laughing 7 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 1: at how awful of a weekend I had. From an 8 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: NFL perspective, I will say, listen, it was a positive 9 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: weekend in terms of analyzing the games. I started a 10 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: new show on m Fox Sports has a digital gambling 11 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: show now on Sunday's What Is It Right the hour 12 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: before the games, and I did it Sunday with Jeff Schwartz. 13 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: I do one today with Colin and Carissa at noon, 14 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: and I do one Thursday with Jeff Schwartz. And they decided, Hey, 15 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: gambling is big, you're crushing it. Let's do a Sunday show. 16 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: So I had a lot of stuff going on this 17 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: week and between the election. You see you hear the 18 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: excuses they're coming right between spending many many days on 19 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: the election, Um, all these gambling shows and projects, and uh, 20 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: your boy really struggled. Listen. This was Week nine in 21 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: the NFL. This was by far my worst week. Okay, 22 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: it was bad. It was a blood bath. I tried 23 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: to keep on my spirit Sunday, and then my kids 24 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: were annoying me for like a quick second, and I 25 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: noticed I was getting angry at them, and I'm like, no, no, no, 26 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 1: I can't. I cannot let me picking the friggin Denver 27 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: Broncos over the Dolphins at the last minute in the 28 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 1: one point for a million dollar contest. I can't let 29 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks get me down. I cannot get too 30 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: angry at my kids because they're on iPads or wanting 31 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: to change the channel. Because the Bucks are getting their 32 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: butts kicked on Sunday night football. I can't let that happen. 33 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: So I had to step back. I ordered some Papa 34 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: John's bread sticks and cheese sticks. I ate my face 35 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: off on Sunday, and I actually, you know, about third 36 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: quarter of Saints Bucks, I said, you guys want to 37 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: play a card game, and we kind of veered off 38 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: Buck Saints, the blood bath that that was, and we 39 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: played a card game for you know, forty minutes, just 40 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: to take my mind off it no phone, and yeah, 41 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: I was an ugly week folks. Um. But from an 42 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: actual NFL perspective, there's some awesome storylines. I think, you know, 43 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: when Rob G and I were talking about this, I 44 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: think right now when I asked myself, well, Top Gun 45 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: is one of my all time favorite eighties movies, and 46 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: I thought Val Kilmer was awesome. I got to interview 47 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: him once in uh, New York City when I was 48 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: at US Weekly. He doesn't really do interviews, and it 49 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: was like I was drinking at this bar and he 50 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: was there and I was like, oh, I might as 51 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: well interview, and he went for a couple questions. He 52 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: was a funny comedian. And in Top Gun, Val Kilmer 53 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: has this moment where he gets in Tom Cruise's face 54 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: and goes, you haven't figured it out yet, huh? And 55 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: Tom Cruise is like, what's that? And he's like, who's 56 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: the best pilot? And it's just it's one of those 57 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: funny scenes where they go back and forth. And I 58 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: was sitting there Sunday night thinking who the hell is 59 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: the best team in the NFL right now? Because I 60 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: looked up and down Sunday and I'm telling you, folks, 61 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: there was carnage everywhere. Teams got exposed, Seattle got exposed. 62 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll gave up the most points he's ever given 63 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: up as coach of the Seahawks. I mean, they sat 64 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: Josh Allen seven times and still gave up forty four 65 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: points Tampa Bay. I don't know what to say. I 66 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: could not have read that game worse. Either the Saints 67 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: got Tampa's game plan early and stuffed it out, or 68 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: something happened, because I have never seen a big game 69 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: go that south that quickly, never seen anything like it. 70 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: I was stunned. The Bucks they got big time exposed, 71 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: and you go up and down. You're like Steelers struggle 72 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: to get by the Cowboys. Matter of fact, Stealers have 73 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: not been overly impressive against the Giants, against the Brown 74 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: How good are the Steelers are undefeated and I heard 75 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: a great stat that the lull was at the last 76 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: three teams or the last five teams that went undefeated. 77 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: They were the last team undefeated in the NFL. They 78 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: went to the Super Bowl, and for whatever reason, Pittsburgh 79 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: has the Super Bowl talent. I just I don't know. 80 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: Maybe it was a little bit of a letdown. We 81 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: knew that was coming, right, We knew the Steelers were 82 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: not going to cover that game. Um, but they didn't 83 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: look like the best team in the NFL. And I 84 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 1: guess you know some people are gonna say, let's not 85 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: forget the Packers. J oh, Really, the same Packers and 86 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: went to Tampa got their teeth kicked in the same 87 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: Packers that got embarrassed by Dalvin Cook. Who's now trying 88 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: to who's now elbowed Derrick Henry out of the m 89 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: v P race? I mean Dalvin Cook passed Derrick Henry 90 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: in rushing yards despite playing one and a half fewer games. 91 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: I mean, Cook in the last two games has been unbelievable. 92 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,839 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if I trust the Packers. 93 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 1: And I guess the team that keeps coming back to 94 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: is the Kansas City Chiefs and Pat Mahomes. I think 95 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: it's pretty clear they're the best team in the NFL. 96 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: I do wonder played a close game against Chargers. Was 97 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: it a divisional game they weren't ready for Justin Herbert 98 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: as the spot starter? I don't know. Well, what about 99 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: that game against the Panthers. They did not look overly impressive. 100 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: Don't maybe they were thinking about the bye week. I 101 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: mean Teddy Bridgewater moving the ball up and down the 102 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: field against him, and the defense is just like I mean, 103 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: I trust the Steelers defense way more than the Chiefs defense. 104 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: And then what about the loss of the Raiders again 105 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: they were leading. I I don't know who's good in 106 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: the NFL right now. I think this is a good 107 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: problem to have because you've got about seven or eight 108 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: teams that are really good. Um. No, I'm not ready 109 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: to put the Buffalo Bills and the are they really 110 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: good discussion? No, Josh Allen did look like he returned 111 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: to early season four. Um, this may be a shocker, 112 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: but the Arizona Cardinals, I believe have the second best 113 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: point differential in the NFC, and that's after the loss 114 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: to to on Sunday in a game. Again, I totally 115 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: handicapped that perfectly. I knew exactly what was gonna happen. 116 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: I bet it, I made money off it. Why didn't 117 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: I give it out on the best bet? I mean 118 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: I saw that game coming. I like this Miami team, 119 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: and now all the value is going to be gone 120 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: in betting them going forward, because to a he showed 121 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: you he's a good quarterback. That performance against the Rams 122 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: not very uh indicative of what toa can do. And folks, 123 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: I say this all the time and sometimes I forget it. 124 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: But no team is as good or as bad as 125 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: they were last week. So Tampa, they're not as bad 126 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: as we saw in the thirty three beat down at home. Okay, 127 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: I don't think the Saints are that good either. They're 128 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: not that good. They're good. They're super Bowl contenders. They're 129 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: probably the best team in the NFC. But I keep 130 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: coming back to the Chiefs as the best team in 131 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: the league because it's funny. We always try to make 132 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: these arguments for who should be the m v P. 133 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: I mentioned Dalvin Cook earlier this season. There was a 134 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: lot of love for Josh Allen um Derrick Henry was 135 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: briefly in the discussion ahead of this Saints disaster. Tom 136 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: Brady twenty touchdowns, four picks, forty three years old, what 137 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: about Tom Brady? Tompo for m v P um and 138 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson had understandable love. I mean, he lost all 139 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: of it with four turnovers against the Bills, But you 140 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: don't lose the m v P in Week nine, And 141 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: it's funny the name we never mentioned, and I've I've 142 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: tried to bring him up on this podcast. But Patrick 143 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: Mahomes and and I think I mentioned on this podcast. 144 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like I did. Maybe it 145 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: was a flippant tweet. But Mahomes is now at twenty 146 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: five touchdowns and one interception. The Chiefs have the best 147 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: record in the a f C West there eight and 148 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: one heading into thereby their low loss was to Rob 149 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: G's Raiders. And I guess the parallel that I think 150 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: I've brought up before is Patrick Mahomes is so good 151 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: we have now expected greatness from him every year. First 152 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: year as a starter wins the m v P. Second 153 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: year as a starter wins the Super Bowl, wins the 154 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP. This is Pat mahomes third full year 155 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 1: as a starter, and we're already trying to make excuses 156 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: for this guy and that guy. And but should Ben 157 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger warrant consideration? No, um, But Patrick Mahomes has twenty 158 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: five touchdowns, one interception, His team satan one. Why are 159 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: we looking overlooking him? Why are we making this difficult? 160 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 1: He's the best player in football and his team, I 161 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: think pretty much is the best team in football. I 162 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: mean it does. It almost appears as if the the 163 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 1: no lead is insurmountable for Pat Mahomes. He's got Hill, 164 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 1: he's got Kelsey. I mean he's turning DeMarcus Robinson, he's 165 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: turning Clyde Edwards Hilaire. Even Sunday when they had no 166 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: run game to speak of against the Panthers, I mean, 167 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: they couldn't do anything on the ground. What does it matter. 168 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 1: Mahomes had a bad half, bing bang boom up and 169 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: down the field. Who cares if we ran for fourteen 170 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: yards we won. Pat Mahomes another flawless game, three seventy 171 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: two yards. Like, I just, I don't know how you 172 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: can push back against this. We're already overlooking him. He's 173 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: basically Lebron, because remember Lebron had that stretch in his 174 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 1: career where he didn't he won four m vps in 175 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: five years, and the one year he didn't, they gave 176 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: it to Derrick Crows and they were like, oh, Derrick 177 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: Ros is awesome. Derek, Derrick ros was very, very good. 178 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: And then they met in the playoffs and Lebron shut 179 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: his ask down and it was that's a rap. Lebron's 180 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: a real m v P, and we're we're heading toward 181 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: an era where Pat Mahomes is going to take over 182 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: this league for a while, as long as the Chiefs 183 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: can figure out how to build around him, keep that 184 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: offensive lineup, rotate in some defensive players they can't miss 185 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: in the draft the way Belichick has with the Patriots. 186 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: Holy hell, I read an article over the weekend that 187 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick in the last like five years has done 188 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing in the draft and like his trades have 189 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: been disasters, just terrible decisions. And we give Belichick a 190 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: pass because he want all these super Bowls. I'm not 191 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: gonna kill him. But if you're a fan of the 192 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: Patriots right now. We will talk about the Patriots later 193 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: in the podcast on the Best Bet. But I think 194 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: that's the big takeaway from Week nine in the NFL. 195 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: Who's the best team? It's got to be the Chiefs. 196 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: I like the Steelers a lot. I'm really looking forward 197 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: to a Steelers Chiefs UH playoff matchup. It would be 198 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: fascinating if the Steelers get to host that game, and 199 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: they are on track to do that right now. Um, 200 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 1: and I don't like to play like, well, this team 201 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: played this team and got a result, and another play 202 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: team played that team and got a far different result. 203 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: But the Steelers went to Baltimore struggles struggles, struggled pulled 204 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: out a victory with like a stop right near the 205 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: end zone at the end of the game. Uh, Kansas 206 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: City went to Baltimore and destroyed them. It was never 207 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: really close. I think maybe Baltimore got within seven at 208 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: one point, but like you know, it was pretty clear 209 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: that the Chiefs are head and shoulders above the Ravens. 210 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: And again, I don't think that transitive property really works 211 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: in the NFL, but it is worthy of a talking point. 212 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: The other one big takeaway I had and again I'm 213 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: not going after anybody in particular here, but because it's 214 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: just one game, you don't want to overreact to one game. 215 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: But the Chicago Bears have to make some serious, serious 216 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: offseason decisions. This coaching situation with Naggie is going nowhere fast. 217 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: Foalds ain't it, Montgomery. I know they were down three 218 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,199 Speaker 1: offensive lineman. The running game is not working. The offense 219 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: was unwatchable, unwatchable. I said last Monday that I liked 220 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: the Bears in this spot, and by Thursday and Friday, 221 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: I was off of it. I had already betted, unfortunately, 222 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: because I saw the injuries and I'm like, man, that's 223 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: a lot that there goes any advantage Foals had. And 224 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: the Bears defense kept a minute kind of contained Henry 225 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: uh Tannehill could didn't really have a game, and the 226 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: Bears offense is just like stuck in like it was awful. 227 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: Folds put up some big time garbage stats when they 228 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: were down three, and it's gonna look, you know, he 229 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: he threw for three thirty five yards, But how much 230 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: of that was in the fourth quarter of trailing by 231 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: two scores or more like again, I gave it a step. 232 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: They have now trailed by ten or more points in 233 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: seven games this season. I mean, that's unbelievable. The Bears. 234 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: Do you know who that company is? With the Jets, 235 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: the Jags, and the Cowboys. Those are the other three 236 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: teams that are trailed by double digits seven times this season. 237 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: I really do believe the Bears, who went from five 238 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: and one, I think they're five and four now. Bears 239 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: are five and four, quickly falling out of the playoff 240 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: race in the NFC. They're probably gonna lose out on 241 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: the wild card to Arizona. Maybe the Rams. Rams now 242 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: have the tiebreaker with him, but I think the Bears 243 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: job is not as attractive as the Jets job. You 244 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 1: don't have a quarterback, you don't have any skill position players. 245 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: I mean, Allan Robbins is really good, but he's a 246 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: free agent. Is he gonna want to stick around? And 247 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: we talked on Friday Show. We were early on Jim Marble. 248 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: By the way, we quick touch on some college football. Um, 249 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: we were early on hardball, and people seem to dig 250 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: the Chargers idea. UM. I don't think there's a case 251 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: to be made for him going to the Detroit Lions 252 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: after being in the state uh and really underachieving in Michigan. 253 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if the transition to the Bears would 254 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: work or he'd even want that, but like, you want 255 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 1: to go where you can have a quarterback, and Justin 256 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: Herbert once again was dealing. Uh. We'll let Rob g 257 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: do a victory lap about his Raiders and their backup 258 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 1: cornerback coming in to save the day. Really awesome finishing 259 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: that one. Um. But I think the Bears are a 260 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: big story in the NFL because that team is gonna 261 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: need a new GM and a new head coach, and 262 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: I think they need a new quarterback as well. Uh, quickly, 263 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: I want to spend two minutes because we had a 264 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: great guest on Friday, Robert Smith talking about Jim Harball 265 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: Clemson Notre Dame. First of all, Clemson Notre Dame was 266 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 1: the best college football game of the season. You could 267 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 1: go on YouTube and watch the highlights. It was phenomenal. 268 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: Clemson's backup quarter act. I'm not gonna try to butcher 269 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: his last name. He's a freshman. He is a major prospect. 270 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: These kids had monster armed. The problem is Clemson couldn't 271 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: run the ball and Notre Dame beat him in overtime. Um. 272 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: I just thought it was a great game and I 273 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: was glued to the TV. And apparently it was the 274 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: highest rated Notre Dame game on NBC since the Bush 275 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: push back in two thousand and uh what like five 276 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: or six two thousand four or five six somewhere around there. 277 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: And the only reason I remember, and I think I 278 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: might have told this on the podcast, it was around 279 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: the one year anniversary of when I had met a 280 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: girlfriend who became the wife, and um, we had this 281 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: nice dinner reservation at a restaurant, and of course, you know, 282 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 1: you try to push it back as much as you can, 283 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: but I can't be like, oh, it's cutter nine o'clock dinner, 284 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, so I can watch donor Dame against USC. 285 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: This was when we lived in New York and this 286 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: was before social media, right, there was no Twitter when 287 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: the Bush Push game happened. I'm almost certain, um so, 288 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: I had to go to the bathroom and keep refreshing 289 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: the game, like the box score on the on whatever website. 290 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 1: I was checking the score at in overtime and it 291 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: was like I remember if it was fourth down and 292 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: forever and then you know, I'm refreshing. I'm in the bathroom, 293 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: just you know, like a loser checking my phone, and 294 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: then it says like Liner completes seventy yard passed to 295 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: Dwayne Gerardo. I was like, oh my gosh, you know, 296 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: it's crazy. And the worst part is I had t vote. Yes, 297 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: we had ti vo back in the day. I had 298 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: t vote the game, but it went so far over 299 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: time wise that I don't even I didn't even have 300 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: it saved. So it was just major loss, loss loss 301 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: for me. And um yeah, that was the last time 302 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: notre Dame had such a big TV rating, So my 303 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: guess is the Irish if they can play Clemson close 304 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: in the a SEC title game and they don't get 305 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: blown out, I think they probably get into the playoff 306 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: with UH Clemson, which will beat Notre Dame in the 307 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: a CEC title game. With Trevor Lawrence and a few 308 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: defenders clubs of Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Alabama, I 309 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: think I think that's where we're headed, unless somebody gets 310 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: upset and Florida sneaks in there. But a quick word 311 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: on Jim Harball, So I'm not gonna hammer this home 312 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: because we have a large enough audience that we could 313 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 1: tell that the same number of people about are listening 314 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: to every episode, and we want to be early on 315 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: the big stories. And you know, listen, we talked about 316 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 1: a Friday Jim Harbaugh to the NFL makes sense, And 317 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: Harball goes out and really got his butt kicked by 318 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: Indiana in a performance that was I mean, they were 319 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: trailing from the jump. It's just like a listless, uninspiring performance, 320 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: the kind of game where you go home if you're 321 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh and you expect to wake up on Sunday 322 00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: morning with four sale signs in your yard by the 323 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: jerky uh community up there in Ann Harbor, who's disappointed 324 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: that you've underachieved. That's how bad Michigan was. And listen, 325 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Chargers are are the end game. 326 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: We know Anthony Lynn is not the answer with the Chargers, 327 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: but Jim Harbor would be good for the NFL. We 328 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: need him back. And I think they're gonna lose to Wisconsin, 329 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: and I believe they're gonna be probably twenty eight point 330 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: underdogs or some huge number against Ohio State because Justin 331 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: Fields is ridiculous. Um, So listen, we we want to 332 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: continue to be early on interesting fund stories like that. 333 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: And I think hardball is gonna be a big, big story. 334 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: I I know some people were sending me d ms 335 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: on Instagram. By the way, I'm because of Sunday's awful 336 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: NFL day. I'm way behind on my Instagram d ms, 337 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: so I haven't replied to like anybody because I was 338 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: just despondent um. But a lot of people are saying, well, 339 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: what about Lincoln Riley. Lincoln Riley, there's no inclination he 340 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: wants to leave Oklahoma. None, They're not looking to run 341 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: duncl Riley out of there. He's a big fish in 342 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: a small pond making millions of dollars. If the Cowboys 343 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: come calling, I think maybe that can get him. But 344 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: I don't think like Lincoln Riley's leaving Oklahoma for like 345 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: the Bears or uh Jacksonville. I just I don't see 346 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: that happening. It's just everything I've heard doesn't seem like 347 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: that's happening. But you know, maybe we'll get a college 348 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 1: football guy on this week and discuss it. So I 349 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: think those are the biggest takeaways from the weekend in 350 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: the NFL and college football. And now I'll let Rob 351 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,959 Speaker 1: guh listen. My checks aren't going to the playoffs, no 352 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,880 Speaker 1: need for me to get fired up. But Rob G's 353 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: Raiders are really starting to cook. Derek Carr awesome performance, 354 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: just enough to get the victory. Henry Ruggs no catches 355 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: on three targets, a lot of fantasy owners disappointed. But 356 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 1: Rob G, how you feeling about your Raiders? Man? Well, 357 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 1: my Raiders are one of the best teams in the FC. 358 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: There's just no question that it's it's Kansas, It's as 359 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: US Kansas City, and I guess if you want to 360 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: put Pittsburgh in there, that's not I mean, they did 361 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: just enough to win. I wasn't overly impressed with the 362 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: way they played. I mean, like I said, I think 363 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: their defense is still terrible. Thankful our third string cornerback 364 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: came through with a couple of key defensive plays in 365 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 1: the end zone to steal the win. But I felt 366 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: like the bigger story coming out of that game, and 367 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: I think we've talked about it on this pod, We've 368 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: talked about it off the air. I mean that Charger's job, 369 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 1: if and when Anthony Lynn gets fired at the end 370 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: of the season, it is going to be I think 371 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: the best head coaching vacancy in at least a decade, 372 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: because Justin Herbert is awesome. He's he's big, he's strong, 373 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: he has a great arm, he's mobile in the pocket, 374 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: and he doesn't really know what he's doing right now. 375 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: You can tell just by watching him. It's kind of 376 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: like a one read, maybe his second read, and then 377 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: he's got he's just going. But he has such elite 378 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: physical skills that he's able to get through a lot 379 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: of things. And just looking at that rock, they were down. 380 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: I think their fourth string running back, and they brought 381 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: in a guy named Kellen Balage. He was on the 382 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: Jets And if you want to laugh, Rob g go 383 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: look at the YouTube highlights of Jets Broncos that Thursday 384 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: night game. The Jets were beat up, so they they 385 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: brought up Bellage and signed him. He could not pick 386 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: up the blitz like two or three times. Darl got 387 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: killed in that game and they cut him the next day. 388 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: They were like, you don't know what you're doing out here, 389 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 1: get out of here. And I saw that he was 390 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: carrying the football for the Chargers. I'm like, are they 391 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: that injured? Like how was he out there? And justin 392 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: Herbert's working with this guy, he nearly got Herbert killed. 393 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: Did you see that with Herbert on the touchdown pass? Yeah, 394 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: I mean I was worried about the guy. But all 395 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 1: things considered, even what I was saying, even with their 396 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: fourth string running back, they have a lot of dudes 397 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: out there, like they just got weapons on top of weapons. 398 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: You know Keenan Allen as it gets very established, everyone 399 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: knows about him. But you know, their backup tight end 400 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: who almost had the game winning touchdown looks like Darren 401 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: Waller rein fronted just the height, weight, speed kind of thing, 402 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: you know, once he knows what he's doing, but that 403 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: when it becomes available, I'm not looking forward to. I 404 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: hope Eric b Enemy doesn't get it, because then my 405 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: Raiders will be instantly be the third best team in 406 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: that division. I don't want that to happen. Hopefully they 407 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: do go with Jim Harbuck, and I think he's terrible, so, 408 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: you know, and I think he'll try to he'll try 409 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: to put he'll try to put Justin Herbert into it. 410 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: I formation ground and so that's fine. I'm cool with that. 411 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: Just don't give me someone who's gonna take full advantage 412 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,239 Speaker 1: of his his skills. But I think that was the 413 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: bigger story to come out of that game. Um I. 414 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: I wanted to look ahead to week ten, rob g briefly, 415 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: but I gotta keep it real with you, man. Um 416 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: I was down in the dumps on Sunday and I 417 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: did not look ahead to week ten mentally. I was 418 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: getting ready by This is gonna sound so nerdy, but 419 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: part of the reason I've been successful this year is 420 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon is the games start to wind down, you know, 421 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: and there's only three in the afternoon, I start to 422 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: write up recaps, not like in sentence format, but just 423 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: notes to myself of what the hell happened game flow, 424 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: whether somebody had big penalties, something swung the game, and 425 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: then I can quickly go back to that during the 426 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 1: week if I need to. So I was doing that, 427 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: and I quickly took a peek at week ten, and 428 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: then I just remembered, you know what, I don't want 429 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: to do at any decisions out of emotions, So I 430 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: did not want to look at the card while I'm all, like, 431 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: really really pissed at myself for taking Denver and doing 432 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: stupid stuff like that. Um, but listen, it happens, um. 433 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: Anybody who makes picks, anybody who gambles on anything, hits 434 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: a cold streak and an over four. That's the golden sombrero. 435 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: I believe three is the hat trick. Four I believe 436 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: is the golden sombrero. And that stings, folks. All I 437 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: can say is I gotta do better. So I guess 438 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: there's no better time than to get to Monday night 439 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: football and the best bet, the only thing better than 440 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: sitting on your couch watching the game. He's making money 441 00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: while he's do it. Here's your best bet. Now. Listen, 442 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: last Monday, if you remember, Tampa was a huge favorite, 443 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, I'm gonna go 444 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: ahead and take Tampa, which was insanely idiotic because Tampa 445 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 1: was thinking about the Saints game, and I don't know 446 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: how much they we're thinking about it because they nearly 447 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: lost the game to the Giants, survived to two point conversion, 448 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: but they were a double digit favorite. Here we have 449 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: another Monday, but a slightly different story. The Jets have 450 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: decided they're not starting Sam Donald because he's got a 451 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: in air quotes injury, and um, they're just gonna, you know, 452 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: go with Joe Flacco again. So Joe Flacco has started 453 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: two games this year. He started against Arizona the Jets 454 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: had ten points, and he started against the Miami Dolphins 455 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: and the Jets got shut out. Nothing. Joe Flacco is 456 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: not a good quarterback. I'll tell you right now. Garrett Gilbert, 457 00:24:57,440 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: Rob G. I don't know how much you watched the Cowboys. 458 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,640 Speaker 1: Garrett Gilbert looks like a keeper. I mean, that guy 459 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: could sling it. He's a big boy, he can run, 460 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,239 Speaker 1: he could take some hits. He's got an arm. I 461 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: was impressed by Gary Gilbert. I think I've seen more 462 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: from him in one game that I've seen from Joe 463 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: Flacco in like three years. And I'm not killing What 464 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: did you think of Gilbert, rob g I think Gary 465 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: Gilbert looked exactly like I remember him looking at Texas. 466 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: Just the big physical specimen that when the pockets glean 467 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: looks great. When it's not clean, lookout because he's just 468 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: likely to throw into the dirt or into the other 469 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,880 Speaker 1: team's arms. I mean, he's got some weapons, but I'll 470 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: tell you Joe Flacco is terrible and it's pretty clear 471 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 1: that the Jets do not want to win. We saw 472 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: the Giants get a huge win over Washington. Another dumbass 473 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: pick that I gave out um because Alex Smith comes 474 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: in for Kyle Allen, who got that gruesome broken ankle. 475 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell the deal is with 476 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: the broken legs twisted the wrong way. There was a 477 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: Georgia football player with one Saturday Dak Prescott, Gordon Hay 478 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: what we've seen so many of these recently. Kyle Allen 479 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: suffered when Alex Smith comes in throws three picks, including 480 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: two in the final five minutes. Of the fourth quarter. Uh, 481 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 1: I just got angry again. Um. Anyway, so you know, 482 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: the New York Giants gotta win. They're not really in 483 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: the mix for the number one pick. It's now down 484 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: to the Jets and Jaguars. The Jags looked competitive covered, 485 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: but did not beat Houston. So the Jets have to lose. 486 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: You do not want to lose, Trevor Lawrence. Okay, you don't, 487 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: you don't. So I think the Jets will be very 488 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: cautious with anyone who's good and remotely close to injured. 489 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: Let's take a week by week where no rush to 490 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: get back flack O, good luck, get her done. Now 491 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 1: the Patriots don't have Gilmore and cam starting you know whatever. Uh, 492 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. In the contest, I took the Patriots favored 493 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: by seven and a half. It's ballooned out to nine 494 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 1: and a half. Let me see if it's touched up ten. Listen, 495 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: it might have touched ten. And I have a golden rule. 496 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: You cannot make money long term betting on double digit favorites. Um, 497 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: that's what the Patriots are here. We just saw one 498 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: blowout on Sunday Night football. Okay, it's still nine and 499 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 1: a half. So uh, I'm okay, I'm sorry. We saw 500 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:17,719 Speaker 1: a blowout on Sunday Night football, absolute beat down. I 501 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: can't imagine we get another one on prime time. It's 502 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: just usually these games find a way to be remotely 503 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 1: close or interesting. Um, I I took I took it 504 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: Patriots by nine and a half. That's my best bet. 505 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: If it loses, I'm gonna come back tomorrow so angry 506 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: and really really upset. But overall, listen, it's a new week. 507 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 1: It's a new month. It's not a new month, it's 508 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: just a new week. Um, it feels like a new month. 509 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: Thanksgivings coming up. We will figure out what we're gonna 510 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: do for Thanksgiving shows. Also, the NBA has announced rob 511 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,479 Speaker 1: g and closing real quick, Um, a seventy two game season. 512 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have to talk about that this week, right, Yeah, 513 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: I mean it's gonna start in like late December. The 514 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 1: season just ended in early October. So we will do 515 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: a little NBA this week, um, free agency in the 516 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: draft or right around the corner. Um, we'll do some 517 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: more college football, but the NFL will will take us 518 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: through Thanksgiving for sure, and uh, everybody enjoying Monday night 519 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: football and go Patriots.
