Speaker 1: So they do a fantastic job. Everybody's you tune in.
Speaker 1: Michael will be with us on a numbers game tomorrow,
Speaker 1: and I think he's on Followed Money this morning. They
Speaker 1: were on this morning as well. Yes, he was on
Speaker 1: this morning, Okay, And we'll rerun Follow the Money after
Speaker 1: this show. This show, of course, is guessing lines. They
Speaker 1: will guess lines for week number eleven in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. Wow, we've gotten here, and I remember Week eleven.
Speaker 1: That's the Monday night game from Mexico City between the
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the rams. We have finally arrived that much
Speaker 1: I do know. I'm in a cocoon. For those who
Speaker 1: have not tune into this show before, this is a
Speaker 1: tribute to the old Stardust radio show back in the
Speaker 1: day where they used to announce the lines. I do
Speaker 1: not know the lines for next week's games. I attempt
Speaker 1: to guess them, and uh, sometimes I fall flat on
Speaker 1: my face. Sometimes I'm pretty accurate. Within that exercise, we
Speaker 1: talk about this past week weekend's games, and we try
Speaker 1: to isolate value for next week's based on my guests
Speaker 1: what the line actually is? Benny Maliulo in for Chrissie
Speaker 1: on the show today to talk about that, and a
Speaker 1: lot of times throughout the week. You don't change your mind,
Speaker 1: but you definitely have second thoughts, third thoughts, and usually
Speaker 1: your first thoughts are the best thoughts, aren't they? Generally speaking?
Speaker 1: In the line where I have been wrong this year,
Speaker 1: the lines have come to my number. Um, that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean I'm a genius. That's just how it's gone on
Speaker 1: this year, last year, last week, for instance, just a
Speaker 1: poke fun at me. H. The ones that I was
Speaker 1: off on still ended up going like. In other words,
Speaker 1: the teams that I thought were being undervalued. Those teams
Speaker 1: ended up getting it done anyway. Um, in a couple
Speaker 1: of examples, So even though the lines went my way,
Speaker 1: didn't really matter. Um. But we'll get into all those
Speaker 1: games coming up. Just because I mentioned the Chiefs Rams game,
Speaker 1: that is the Monday night game, correct, and that is
Speaker 1: from Estalio o Steca in Mexico City. Let's start right there, um,
Speaker 1: because there are questions about the field. Uh, do we
Speaker 1: have these photos up of the field here at in
Speaker 1: Mexico City in the elevation, not the altitude, in the
Speaker 1: elevation for this game between the Chiefs and the Rams.
Speaker 1: Let's just put it this way that Asheal Football League
Speaker 1: has such concerns with the field at this point that
Speaker 1: they're sending people down there to observe it firsthand. There's
Speaker 1: a tweet from Pro Football Talk NFL officials concerned at
Speaker 1: the grass for Rams Chiefs in Mexico City sending officials
Speaker 1: in today. This has to do with weather, It has
Speaker 1: to do with concerts. There's the picture there at Visa
Speaker 1: dot Com, the Visa app and Fubo TV. Weather concerts
Speaker 1: and just the lack of maintenance and so you've got
Speaker 1: two high turbo offenses are going to play on this field,
Speaker 1: and uh, concerned enough that they're going down there. Now
Speaker 1: here's my thing though, So let's say they go down there, Jorge,
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, this field is terrible. We're in
Speaker 1: big trouble. What are they gonna do? They go move this?
Speaker 1: They're not gonna move it, are they? I mean, what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do at this point? So anyway, field
Speaker 1: alert based on what the number in this game will
Speaker 1: end up being or is already because we're posting up
Speaker 1: at the south point right now, and of course they
Speaker 1: are everywhere. We'll find out again, we'll talk about this
Speaker 1: as that game as we approach this game on the
Speaker 1: show today tonight, of course. Oh yes, go ahead, Horry.
Speaker 1: Associate producer back here, David has a fantastic little negget
Speaker 1: of information. Both teams are requesting maybe Denver as a possibility,
Speaker 1: since that game also would have similar elevation. Interesting, So
Speaker 1: both teams, thank you, David. So both teams have already
Speaker 1: have already made their requests, but they were denied officially,
Speaker 1: but they made a request for an alternate venue already.
Speaker 1: Um yeah, they're gonna get denied because the NFL is
Speaker 1: hell bent on spreading this thing globally, so the notion
Speaker 1: like you know, American sports. I was like, why are
Speaker 1: we doing this London game? Why are we doing this?
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no no, no. They still think they're going
Speaker 1: to have a franchise in London. If you think they're
Speaker 1: if you think they're making that up, they really. Roger
Speaker 1: Goodell has hell bent on having a franchise in London.
Speaker 1: Don't ask me how the travel is gonna go, but
Speaker 1: they are. Um, here is a overhead shot of it.
Speaker 1: This is from Alfonso Borell. Now we've we've we've cut
Speaker 1: out some language here, but never some naughty words in there.
Speaker 1: But let's say in Spanish he said something like what
Speaker 1: is this poo? Poo? It would be the exact translation translation,
Speaker 1: thank you very much, you're welcome. Uh, And then he
Speaker 1: goes on and rails about it. But that's the overhead.
Speaker 1: So that looks like a field with dirt all over
Speaker 1: half the field. There is no sun, there is no
Speaker 1: turf over half that field. Basically wow. Now, if you
Speaker 1: remember a couple of weeks ago, the same thing happened
Speaker 1: at Wembley after the NFL team played there at the
Speaker 1: NFL game with there, and then the following day Manchester
Speaker 1: City and Tottenham played there. So it's just when there
Speaker 1: are games repeated games on a field, this is gonna happen. Well,
Speaker 1: concerts and weather and all the above. Right, these are
Speaker 1: multi purpose stadiums. But this is the Marquis regular season
Speaker 1: NFL game that everybody has been pointing to for you know,
Speaker 1: since the preseason, really, sir, since the first couple of
Speaker 1: games of the season, when you could determine that the
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Rams were gonna be offensive juggernauts. Apologies
Speaker 1: to the Saints, who may have a better offense than
Speaker 1: both of them, who knows, But anyway, that's the story
Speaker 1: with that stadium. That's the money that game will get
Speaker 1: to that one more game left in week number ten,
Speaker 1: that's tonight, of course, and that's the what's the opposite
Speaker 1: of Chiefs versus as Rams, Giants versus Niners? I think
Speaker 1: that qualified Niners three and a half point favorite snide.
Speaker 1: I'm a little surprise that this has stayed at three
Speaker 1: and a hook. There's not not enough Giants money to
Speaker 1: have moved this yet. Interesting, it feels like a Giant's
Speaker 1: tease to me. But Nick Mullins going to get the
Speaker 1: start for the Niners, and yes, Eli Manning still getting
Speaker 1: starts for the New York Football Giants. Who who's running back?
Speaker 1: Say Kwon Barkley says we're gonna win itight in a row, Now,
Speaker 1: that's what he said. Giants won and seven nineers two
Speaker 1: and seven. How do you teach that game? Though? You
Speaker 1: think you? I think you tease the Giants to nine
Speaker 1: and a half that would be the way, or or
Speaker 1: seven point teaser? Yeah, either one seven point obviously gets
Speaker 1: you through the tent, so maybe that's the better way
Speaker 1: to go. But again, shot for your prices. Not every
Speaker 1: book is dish in the same price as all those
Speaker 1: um but yes, seven will get you through the ten.
Speaker 1: That's probably more beneficial. But I just think it's one
Speaker 1: of these games that pre flop. Wise, I'm not betting
Speaker 1: at a ts is my point. And the way to
Speaker 1: bet this is exactly the way that I bet the
Speaker 1: Oakland San Francisco game a couple of Thursday nights ago,
Speaker 1: which is watch a driver Too and then jump in.
Speaker 1: You'll get a much better read for what these teams
Speaker 1: are about. After a Driver Too, you're pre flopping a
Speaker 1: t s on this. I don't know a lot of
Speaker 1: people have conviction on the Giants toning. A lot of
Speaker 1: people are all about the Giants, and to me, it's like,
Speaker 1: all right, I get it. But the fervor again, as
Speaker 1: we said about the Patriots and the Bears a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, the fervor on the Bears, like why
Speaker 1: why the fervor on the Giants? Good lord, anyway, let's
Speaker 1: bring him in. He's in for Christie Andrews, the South
Speaker 1: Point Hotel casino sports book director, who was unable to
Speaker 1: join us this morning. Chrissie though, just getting off text
Speaker 1: and phone with us, Vinny, Vinny, Mali Lulo, everybody slow
Speaker 1: jamming the Guessing Line show with Vinny this morning. Good morning.
Speaker 1: And yes, Chris was just on the line with supervisor
Speaker 1: Lou Vargin and the numbers are in. I have of
Speaker 1: hermetically sealed for you. You put hermetically see Mr Alexander. Yes,
Speaker 1: and Chris, of course, since his very best. We wish
Speaker 1: him the best out there, my buddy, we do. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Spoke with him yesterday afternoon during the afternoon games. And
Speaker 1: of course the classic guns have never on the guns
Speaker 1: have never own meaning meaning the late game last night
Speaker 1: is that's referring to the actual movie Guns in That
Speaker 1: movie was on during the games. If you ever want
Speaker 1: to watch an old movie, just see if you can
Speaker 1: get back behind the desk here at the South Point.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Vicarro at any moment in the day is watching
Speaker 1: something from what would you say, the latest the nineteen fifties, uh, sixties, sixties,
Speaker 1: so never seven fifties and sixties. And then he'll ask.
Speaker 1: He'll ask anybody who walks in there. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: how old you are. He'll be like, hey, is that
Speaker 1: uh you know some name you've never heard of A Jimmy,
Speaker 1: I don't know. We always have a classic on back there.
Speaker 1: I've never heard the turn of classic. Uh, let's see.
Speaker 1: Certainly Andy Griffith, by the way, Chris Andrew Certainly, if
Speaker 1: you ever want to, if you ever want to make
Speaker 1: money on the side, a little side action on Andy Griffith,
Speaker 1: Chrissie Andrews. Just investors Chrissie on Andy Griffith. Nobody knows
Speaker 1: more about Andy Griffith trivia that I can tell you.
Speaker 1: My buddy has that for the Brady Bunch. He'll kill
Speaker 1: you on Brady Bunch though, man. Yeah, yeah, so side
Speaker 1: bets behind behind the scenes. So you made it all back, Vinny,
Speaker 1: didn't you. Yeah, well everything and more. Well listen, it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's certainly a route. It's not a sprint, as we
Speaker 1: say at the track. With Las Vegas Marathon in town
Speaker 1: last night, as you know, right the right they ran
Speaker 1: right by yours. Couldn't get it, couldn't get in. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So um, but yeah, it was so pretty well chronicled
Speaker 1: last week betters had had a good Sunday that has
Speaker 1: actually had a really good Saturday this week, uh so
Speaker 1: for college football overall. And then yesterday morning the the
Speaker 1: book's rebounded a little bit. It all came back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say with Mission Pollard, we know we know
Speaker 1: nothing and and the point I was making college football,
Speaker 1: it's funny, you bet, you bet favorites in college football
Speaker 1: they have a way of coming through over a you know,
Speaker 1: an interminable college football game. Those games never end. Texas
Speaker 1: A and M got there, Ohio, they got there. They
Speaker 1: all see, they all figure out a way to get there. NFL, man,
Speaker 1: it'll let you know real quick if you get cocky
Speaker 1: of the NFL and let you know in one afternoon,
Speaker 1: one half of an afternoon, you know nothing about any
Speaker 1: of these things. Well, that's why it's a it's an
Speaker 1: interesting point, A good point you bring up when you
Speaker 1: when you talk to professionals. I don't know you have
Speaker 1: Bill Bill Crackenburger on on Thursdays. Bill be probably I
Speaker 1: think he would agree with this and support this point.
Speaker 1: Pros will certainly go uh heavier into college football than
Speaker 1: pro football. Pro football much more unpredictable on any given Sunday,
Speaker 1: even from week to week, not just any given Sunday,
Speaker 1: within a month, you just you're gonna get a surprise
Speaker 1: not only cover, but win outright win so um, but
Speaker 1: the pros area, they find their their spots more so
Speaker 1: in college than in pros. I wouldn't you know. You
Speaker 1: could ask the question this morning, what was the most
Speaker 1: surprising of the outcomes yesterday? Was it Tennessee beating New England? Again?
Speaker 1: I said this moment ago, if you know, maybe you
Speaker 1: thought Tennessee could cover against the Patriots, maybe you even
Speaker 1: thought they could sneak out of win. Did you think
Speaker 1: they could crush the Patriots? Thirty four temp by the way,
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady not finishing the game that I don't
Speaker 1: know a lot of folks realize that Tom Brady, well,
Speaker 1: he got sacked and he got hit several enough that
Speaker 1: he he was out during the uh, I think the
Speaker 1: middle of the fourth quarter, that's right. So uh, a
Speaker 1: dominant performance Bills. Maybe a little bit of a surprise
Speaker 1: the way they absolutely dominated the Jets. Also because the
Speaker 1: same thing, maybe you thought they could cover, maybe you
Speaker 1: thought they could win. Did you think they'd crush him
Speaker 1: forty one to ten? What do you want to tell?
Speaker 1: I think part of that, Um, I think the Bills
Speaker 1: retired to hear and frankly about being compared to a
Speaker 1: college prefaced that every time we're like, I know this
Speaker 1: is stupid. I mean, but people love this sum the
Speaker 1: Buccaneers game, I think it was a surprise to some
Speaker 1: people the way the low scoring aspect of that game.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the box score? And it's just historically unbelievable.
Speaker 1: We'll get into all that, and and then last night,
Speaker 1: I would even say last night, like the fact that
Speaker 1: that Philly and had to furiously come from behind a
Speaker 1: couple of times against the Cowboys. Uh. And I will
Speaker 1: say this about the Cowboys. We'll get to that as well.
Speaker 1: But just a preview here that a Marii Cooper. It
Speaker 1: may not show up in the box score yet, but
Speaker 1: if you're watching all twenty two today on this game,
Speaker 1: a Marii Cooper matters to that offense. He matters make
Speaker 1: things so much easier for that Cowboys offense. Is really true.
Speaker 1: H Vanderish was great on defense too for the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: We getting all that, can we do a Thursday night
Speaker 1: game before? Let's do it. Let's start it, Let's do it, gilt.
Speaker 1: It's the Packers in Seattle to play the Seahawks, So
Speaker 1: let's look at let's before we get you give the
Speaker 1: number here please, and uh again the numbers these are
Speaker 1: going to be the numbers that the South Point opens
Speaker 1: this morning. Okay, um, but Packers three about two weeks
Speaker 1: ago or three games ago on the West coast, two
Speaker 1: weeks ago on the East coast. So they had the Rams,
Speaker 1: they had the Patriots, they played at home yesterday. Now
Speaker 1: they go back up to the northwest. So frequent flyer
Speaker 1: miles being uh tabulated by the Green Bay Packers factors
Speaker 1: in Seattle, though they're somewhat central, right, so it's essentially right.
Speaker 1: Packers got through the gauntlet, as you say, of the
Speaker 1: Rams and the Patriots, and then beat the Dolphins yesterday
Speaker 1: and covered in the process. Afternoon games were more were
Speaker 1: Earth returning to its access for the casual better Packers
Speaker 1: did beat the Dolphins twelve covered his thirteen point favorites
Speaker 1: in that game. Aaron Jones fifteen carries for a hundred
Speaker 1: forty five yards, two touchdowns, Davante Davante swing No Davante
Speaker 1: Adams four catches fifty seven yards, two touchdowns. It's career
Speaker 1: high for erin shows by the way, the one forty
Speaker 1: five and the two scores. He had ninety six yards
Speaker 1: on four carries in the first quarter Aaron Jones yesterday. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then Seattle, Seattle is in there. And I said
Speaker 1: this a couple of weeks ago when they were when
Speaker 1: Seattle was four and three and everybody was slurp in Seattle.
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, that's great, and Seattle is really good,
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson is still phenomenal. But their next four
Speaker 1: games are horrific, and now they're halfway through them, only
Speaker 1: their four and five. They lose to the Rams yesterday. Man,
Speaker 1: are they in every game though? The Seahawks. Rams beat
Speaker 1: him thirty six to thirty one. Seahawks get the number.
Speaker 1: They covered the nine and a half point close Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson again seventeen or one seventy six. You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's nothing but three touchdowns no picks. He rushed for
Speaker 1: ninety two yards and nearly rallied the Hawks all the
Speaker 1: way back after his fumble uh put the Rams or
Speaker 1: set the Rams up for a two score lead, got
Speaker 1: the Seahawks all the way to the l a thirty
Speaker 1: five before throwing four straight in completions in the final
Speaker 1: minute of that game, and the Seahawks discovered Rashad Petty
Speaker 1: for the first time yesterday twelve cares, one of wait
Speaker 1: in a touchdown. Seahawks have lost too straight again, no
Speaker 1: shame in that, but too straight to the Chargers in
Speaker 1: the Rams after winning four or five. They had two
Speaker 1: hundred seventy three yards rushing yesterday, after racking up a
Speaker 1: hundred ninety on the ground in their two point loss
Speaker 1: to the Rams last month. So getting it done on
Speaker 1: the ground every which way. All that said, it's Green
Speaker 1: Bay at Seattle. At Seattle was a short and week. Yes,
Speaker 1: so can Aaron Rodgers single handedly overcome. And you know what,
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say that because I'm selling the path. Her
Speaker 1: short packers again got through their gauntlet of two games,
Speaker 1: but the Seahawks in the middle of their four. This
Speaker 1: is a This is a huge I mean just say
Speaker 1: this is a huge game for both teams. Is an
Speaker 1: understatements Green Bays four four and one, Seattle's four and five,
Speaker 1: the proverbial must win. How about all the all these
Speaker 1: games now calling? Right? For the remainder of the season,
Speaker 1: You're gonna see a lot of important games. This is
Speaker 1: certainly one of them. Seattle'll be favored, um, just as
Speaker 1: the Aaron Rodgers. No, it won't be three, it'll be
Speaker 1: two and a half, two and a half Sea Oils.
Speaker 1: There you go. Good start, Gil, good start. Although that's
Speaker 1: not what we're really really looking for, right The worst
Speaker 1: thing that could happen is me going sixteen and no
Speaker 1: on these if no team was on a buy that is,
Speaker 1: of course, what wouldn't that be awful? Well, but I'm
Speaker 1: saying then I'll be like, oh great, what am I betting?
Speaker 1: You know, trying to bet man, trying to make some money. Alright,
Speaker 1: Vinny's in for Christie. This morning hermetically sealed envelopes as
Speaker 1: we post them here on the south point wall. We
Speaker 1: will do the week eleven slate, the full Sunday slate
Speaker 1: every game you get to we'll about everything from yesterday. Say,
Speaker 1: if we can't isolate some value, that's what we're doing
Speaker 1: on a numbers game right here as broadcasting live from
Speaker 1: our visa in studios in Las Vegas. Or hey, let's
Speaker 1: show these uh Shelley conference by conference odds that you
Speaker 1: just posted up here. If we could do that, that
Speaker 1: would be a wonderful thing. Or hey, by the way,
Speaker 1: uh sporting a scarf this morning, light blue and white.
Speaker 1: This is a tribute to the North Carolina tar Heels
Speaker 1: or Argentina. I'm not sure it looks like Anson Drance.
Speaker 1: Who is Anson Anson Dawrance is the head women's basketball
Speaker 1: coach of I'm sorry, head women's soccer coach. Oh, that's right,
Speaker 1: Anson dors that's right, Leg that's right. So I do
Speaker 1: remember he had a pretty good team UM back in
Speaker 1: the nineties, which included a couple of ladies named ham
Speaker 1: Hammond Foudy. That they were pretty good. Here the a
Speaker 1: f C playoff picture after Week ten. I should have
Speaker 1: remembered Anson Dawrance's name by the way playoff picture after
Speaker 1: Week ten. UH. The these are with current odds to
Speaker 1: win conference from our friends over at the Westgate. Chiefs
Speaker 1: and Steelers are now the two front runners in the
Speaker 1: a f C. Chiefs at plus one sixty to win
Speaker 1: the a f C, Steelers at plus two fifty, Patriots
Speaker 1: next at plus three fifty UH and then UH actually
Speaker 1: Chargers next at five to one, Texans eleven to one, UH,
Speaker 1: Titans twenty five to one, Colts thirty five to one,
Speaker 1: Ravens forty five to one. Everybody else you see sort
Speaker 1: of high, but it's it's Chief Steelers, Patriots in that order,
Speaker 1: followed by the Chargers. Those are the only ones in
Speaker 1: single digits in the a f C. The Texans is
Speaker 1: such a funny one at eleven to one, because you know,
Speaker 1: again the UH. I always say that the very first
Speaker 1: prediction never made here at Vidvisen was after Art after
Speaker 1: the Patriots Falcon Super Bowl, and Brett asked me, who's
Speaker 1: your value picked for the next year with the Super
Speaker 1: BWL And I said, I nailed it. I said Eagles
Speaker 1: at third. And then last year we did it and
Speaker 1: I said Texans at twenty How I am so close
Speaker 1: to to that looking so bad? Right? In other words,
Speaker 1: the Texans at six to three, and we'll get into
Speaker 1: the Texans coming up. But that is the biggest mirage
Speaker 1: record going well, and and so the fact that they're
Speaker 1: eleven to one to win the conference, they're still right
Speaker 1: around twenty to one to win the Super Bowl. I
Speaker 1: guess I'm gonna get the We'll get the numbers from
Speaker 1: behind the counter here. Yes, let's do that NFC real
Speaker 1: quick before we uh, before we move on here. Rams
Speaker 1: and Saints both at plus one forty, everybody else double digits,
Speaker 1: including the Vikings that tend to one. We don't think
Speaker 1: of the Vikings that way anymore, do we upper tier?
Speaker 1: That was quick, Rams and Saints plus one forty. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's go to Sunday, Benny first game, Yes, sir. On
Speaker 1: Sunday morning, the Carolina Panthers, who took it on the
Speaker 1: chin and every other part of their body Thursday night
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, go to Detroit to play the Lions. Panthers
Speaker 1: Lions in Detroit, Gil in Detroit to get Sunday started Lions.
Speaker 1: Last week Matthew Stafford sacked ten times by the Vikings.
Speaker 1: Yesterday Matthew Stafford sacked six times by the Bears. So
Speaker 1: that's not good. Let's point that out. Khalil Mac a
Speaker 1: little bit of a difference, So you think, you think
Speaker 1: just his presence alone, if not his ability. Detroit is
Speaker 1: now three and six. Again, let's just keep in mind
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills are three and seven. Do we think
Speaker 1: of those two teams similarly? Uh, just as a point
Speaker 1: of comparison, Detroit is three and six. They're at home.
Speaker 1: They'll have a Thanksgiving game right after this. Several days later.
Speaker 1: Carolina six and three. Carolina on extra rest. Now after
Speaker 1: getting crushed by Pittsburgh. Let me just say one thing
Speaker 1: about that Pittsburgh game. Pittsburgh beat him fifty two to
Speaker 1: twenty one. The Panthers, and Panthers went down and score,
Speaker 1: I believe, in their first possession. So it was seven nothing.
Speaker 1: It was seven nothing Panthers and that was and then
Speaker 1: a fifty two to fourteen. She lacking the rest of
Speaker 1: the way. It's my first opportunities the word she lacking
Speaker 1: on the show this year. Um, this came back into
Speaker 1: my mind last night watching the Eagles because I had
Speaker 1: forgot to mention this after that Steelers Panthers game. The
Speaker 1: Steelers got flagged one time in that game against the
Speaker 1: Panthers because the Steelers crushed them. I didn't even bother
Speaker 1: mentioning it the next day, like went out of mind.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, you know, it's one flag. They got
Speaker 1: beat by thirty eight points. That didn't really maybe it
Speaker 1: didn't or five touchdowns, sorry, five touch five touchdown passes,
Speaker 1: three incompletions, but they got flagged one time, and there
Speaker 1: was a few times in that game, and again they
Speaker 1: won by thirty eight. I'm not saying it it impacted
Speaker 1: the out the ultimate outcome, but there's a few times
Speaker 1: in that game where you're like, are you serious you
Speaker 1: didn't throw a flag on that, Like Juju just absolutely
Speaker 1: destroyed somebody on run. It was in front of everybody.
Speaker 1: They didn't call it. There's a few things in that
Speaker 1: game where you're like, are you guys serious, you're not
Speaker 1: flat Like things that the average fan could see with
Speaker 1: the naked eye. Flagged Pittsburgh once. You know, last night
Speaker 1: the Eagles were not egged it all and still lost
Speaker 1: to the Cowboy not flagged not a single flag in
Speaker 1: that game. Eagles still lost um. The Eagles penalty free
Speaker 1: game against the Cowboys, only the second team all season
Speaker 1: to play a penalty free game, the Patriots the other
Speaker 1: against Kansas City. There have been thirty penalty free games
Speaker 1: since two thousand and a league high five have come
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys as the opponent. Interesting, but anyway back
Speaker 1: to Carolina. Just want to point out that Pittsburgh was
Speaker 1: only flagged once. Keep an eye on these kinds of
Speaker 1: games where the refs just appear to be keeping in
Speaker 1: the pocket for certain teams. Uh, Caroline is at Detroit.
Speaker 1: Caroline has got to be favored. And I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: it's more than a field goal video. I'll say it's
Speaker 1: by four on the road, three and a half. You're
Speaker 1: right there, all three and a half. How can you
Speaker 1: trust Detroit? Ye? Well, And then of course you're kind
Speaker 1: of scratching your head after Thursday night with the with
Speaker 1: the Panthers, right because they were on a role, they
Speaker 1: were playing very well, and then they go into Pittsburgh,
Speaker 1: looked like they were going to it was gonna be
Speaker 1: a good game again. They went down. I scored on
Speaker 1: their first possession, it was seven nothing, and but the
Speaker 1: Steelers just completely took over and dominated. Yeah. Again, just
Speaker 1: that that was the beginning. That was the first salvo
Speaker 1: of a very strange week in the NFL where certain
Speaker 1: games were just over real quick. So Carolina by three
Speaker 1: and a half at Detroit, and I said, that's about right.
Speaker 1: What's next the Cowboys after last night go down to
Speaker 1: Atlanta to play the Falcons, who obviously didn't Things didn't
Speaker 1: go well in Cleveland yesterday. Yeah, Cowboys at Falcons. Cowboys
Speaker 1: get the win last night against the flagless Eagles. Eagles
Speaker 1: were not flagged. Cowboys still one. Cowboys led that game
Speaker 1: at halftime thirteen to three. Eagles came back on them
Speaker 1: to tie it twice. Cowboys still couldn't get stopped. And
Speaker 1: I'll say it again, Amari Cooper makes things so much
Speaker 1: easier for that Cowboys offense if we have one game
Speaker 1: to show that we've that is my conclusion from that yesterday.
Speaker 1: Just seems like that Cowboys offense has it so much easier,
Speaker 1: even though it might not show up in the box score.
Speaker 1: Showed up in the box score for Zeke nineteen carries
Speaker 1: one yards last night at touchdown, also caught six passes
Speaker 1: for thirty six and another touchdown. And may I just
Speaker 1: say this, that play where he hurdled the defender, if
Speaker 1: he takes that to the house, that is not only
Speaker 1: the iconic play of this season, but will be shown
Speaker 1: on NFL films for decades to come. Instead, he hurdles
Speaker 1: the defender and falls flat on flight on his face
Speaker 1: to the steps later. So forget the iconic play. But
Speaker 1: that was an unbelievable play. But but besides that, is
Speaker 1: that the best performance by uh Elliott and the last
Speaker 1: maybe from even last year in the year right, season
Speaker 1: and a half, right, I think so Atlanta, So Dallas
Speaker 1: gets to four and five, and again the proverbial must
Speaker 1: win situation, right, Eagles dropped to four five, but Dallas
Speaker 1: gets that much needed win. They go to Atlanta, Atlanta
Speaker 1: goes into Cleveland gets housed by the Browns. That was
Speaker 1: probably the best Browns game in the last few years,
Speaker 1: most complete performance by the Browns I can remember in reasons,
Speaker 1: especially in week ten, Right, yeah, I mean you think
Speaker 1: about it at this point in the season sixteen Browns
Speaker 1: win Falcons ended up being five and a half point
Speaker 1: favors in that game. Matt Ryan in defeat thirty eight
Speaker 1: of fifty two for three thirty two touchdowns. Note picks
Speaker 1: Julio Jones in defeat seven catches for one oh seven
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Falcons had their three game winning streak
Speaker 1: and any playoff momentum really stopped cold. And I will
Speaker 1: say this about Super Contest picks. Yesterday again, I was
Speaker 1: two and three in Gold and at best will be
Speaker 1: two and three after tonight in Classic. The games that
Speaker 1: we were considering that didn't make the cut would have
Speaker 1: also been losers Tampa Bay the Falcons. I told my
Speaker 1: buty as like, I don't trust the Falcons. I said,
Speaker 1: it sounds when we're doing this in the middle of
Speaker 1: the week. It feels all good to pick the Falcons
Speaker 1: against the Grounds. But wait till the Falcons, wait till
Speaker 1: you remember very quickly that Falcons on grass on the
Speaker 1: road is a much different football team. You mentioned they
Speaker 1: closed five and a half. You know, at one point
Speaker 1: in the game opened four. That game got as high
Speaker 1: as six and a half. Briefly, man the other day.
Speaker 1: So Dallas is at Atlanta, but now Atlanta's back on
Speaker 1: the turf, right, So all that said, I think you
Speaker 1: have to think of the Atlanta Falcons. I mentioned this
Speaker 1: a few times already this year home road splits in football,
Speaker 1: you have to think of the Falcons one way as
Speaker 1: a road team, and you have to think of them
Speaker 1: entirely differently as a home team. So the Falcons will
Speaker 1: be favorite. And I'll even say this is more than
Speaker 1: a field goal. I'll say Atlanta by four over the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Atlanta four. It is Atlanta four. You got it. These
Speaker 1: are easy so far. So it's easy easy, right, Well,
Speaker 1: this one we're gonna have to Uh, it's just the
Speaker 1: Bengals Ravens. And of course there's a question mark here.
Speaker 1: There's a question marcause we don't know about Joe flac Flacco, right,
Speaker 1: so if it's Lamar Jackson, so full disclosure, it's it's
Speaker 1: a kind of a time out on this game. But
Speaker 1: we can chat about it. If it's Joe Flacco playing,
Speaker 1: wouldn't this be just a standard Baltimore by three? Uh? Maybe, well,
Speaker 1: it depends, you know, you could make a case. I
Speaker 1: think it would be a little bit more only but
Speaker 1: neither team is playing real well right now right and
Speaker 1: neither team is is obviously, I mean, the Bengals are
Speaker 1: not healthy at all. Um. Bengals defense trending in the
Speaker 1: wrong way. The question is what's the difference between Joe
Speaker 1: Flacco and Lamar Jackson. Like Lamar Jackson's a different dimension.
Speaker 1: He gives them, uh probably more mobility and creativity, but
Speaker 1: in a starting role, it's a bit different, right, So
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco apathetic face or Joe Flacco I care face. Um,
Speaker 1: it's also just go Joe Flacco face and go right
Speaker 1: in between. I mean, so it's probably about what do
Speaker 1: you think about a two point difference? But that but
Speaker 1: that's I'm glad you said that because that saw it
Speaker 1: would be right if that's all it is. So I
Speaker 1: mean right now, so it's you know, uh, holding up
Speaker 1: on that game simply because and you have to know,
Speaker 1: you have to know who's who's going to be under senter.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's five and four, by the way, Baltimore is four
Speaker 1: and five. Should I keep saying must win and Ravens off.
Speaker 1: The other thing is Ravens off the by just as
Speaker 1: a matter of reference, Ravens off the by and the
Speaker 1: Bengals defense off of by apparently as what film my lord,
Speaker 1: So I would say picking myself, but Cincinnati just just
Speaker 1: I know, we don't have a definitive line here but
Speaker 1: Cincinnati yesterday against the Saints, Andy Dalton was twelve of
Speaker 1: twenty one fifty three, one touchdown, two picks, sacked four times.
Speaker 1: The Bengals were oh for six on third downs, and
Speaker 1: they possessed the ball for just over twenty minutes twenty
Speaker 1: minutes and fourteen seconds. Cincinnati became the first team in
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl era to give up five hundred yards
Speaker 1: in three consecutive of games. New Orleans finished with five
Speaker 1: or nine against him. Yesterday, the Bengals match the most
Speaker 1: lopsided defeat and franchise history gave it the second most
Speaker 1: points in club history. In the first half alone, the
Speaker 1: Saints had three hundred and eleven yards and twenty one
Speaker 1: first downs on forty plays. Too good, g seven and
Speaker 1: two to the number. Let's remember that. Let's remember that
Speaker 1: is what it's all. That's right. I owe Brent ten cents.
Speaker 1: In the last four games, the Bengals have given up
Speaker 1: four one, five, one, five seventy six and five hundred
Speaker 1: nine yards. Is that good, Vinnie? I told that's not good.
Speaker 1: They're on pace to give up the most yards in
Speaker 1: NFL history. You know, they were a surprise the first month,
Speaker 1: but I think obviously. I don't think anybody is shocked
Speaker 1: at what how teams have given the teams that they've played. Um,
Speaker 1: even with a J Green yesterday, would I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't think they win or cover the game for sure. Anyway,
Speaker 1: So Baltimore three, if it's flackable, we don't know. If
Speaker 1: I gotta wait, Joe, do one more here. Now, let's
Speaker 1: go to break. Break, Let's go to break. Let's go
Speaker 1: to break. Uh you said something about the difference between
Speaker 1: Flacco and uh Lamar Jackson. They're only being two points,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure some people driving right now are like, wow,
Speaker 1: only two points. Um, I'm gonna ask you the same
Speaker 1: thing about a basketball trade that happened this weekend with
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler going to the Philadelphia seventy ss Does that
Speaker 1: mean anything? On air, coming back with Vinnie Malilo and
Speaker 1: for Chrissie Chrissy Andrews this morning right here on guessing lines,
Speaker 1: right here on the Numbers Game at Visa. Back to
Speaker 1: a Numbers game with your host Gil Alexander, broadcasting live
Speaker 1: from our visa in studios in Las Vegas. Back on
Speaker 1: the Numbers Game here a serious x M Channel two
Speaker 1: oh four. It is a numbers game. We're sports betting analytics,
Speaker 1: live actionable sports betting information. Is Gil Alexander Jorge back
Speaker 1: in the saddle today? Uh? Shout out to Matt Jones
Speaker 1: again for a fine week last week. But Jorge is
Speaker 1: back in the Uh in his seat, Hillohore, you know
Speaker 1: you guys were talking about my scarf. You didn't even
Speaker 1: realize what it was for. Please tell us City one
Speaker 1: the Darby our Primari League segment on Friday. It was perfect.
Speaker 1: He got every single call correct. Paul carr Is on
Speaker 1: a Premier League role on Friday's Can't Miss UM shout
Speaker 1: out you. We're just kidding you about Argentina and North Carolina.
Speaker 1: We knew it wasn't any of that. UM video is
Speaker 1: here for Chrissie this morning, and uh, Chrissie, though furiously
Speaker 1: working behind the scenes posting these lines with you. You
Speaker 1: said something about the fact that the difference between Joe Flacco,
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion Joe Flacco, who of course is a
Speaker 1: veteran in this league, the National Football League, and rookie
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, who has made nary a start. You said
Speaker 1: the difference in the line and the betting market line
Speaker 1: is two points too. I think there's a lot of
Speaker 1: people who are driving are like, you gotta be kidding too,
Speaker 1: Are you crazy? What do you think it's high? I
Speaker 1: agree with you. I think it's only two. But I
Speaker 1: think that's the I think that's a great lesson for
Speaker 1: for better zella that that think that lines move way
Speaker 1: more than they do based on one player, and how
Speaker 1: very few players actually move the proverbial needle, if you will, so,
Speaker 1: now in the NBA, let me let me ask you this.
Speaker 1: If I could big trade in the NBA. This weekend
Speaker 1: headline in the NBA, the te Wolves, Uh, they trade
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Butler gets his gets his wish, He's
Speaker 1: out of there. He gets traded to the Philadelphia seventies
Speaker 1: Sixers along with Justin Patton exchange for Robert Covington, Dario Sarich,
Speaker 1: Jared bayliss Um as well. Covington and Sarich good players.
Speaker 1: I like Sarich's game, but I just don't think that
Speaker 1: the I think if you're the Sixers, I think you
Speaker 1: make that trade and you hope to sign Jimmy Butler
Speaker 1: long term, and you've got Embiid and Simmons and now
Speaker 1: Butler um and you hope first of all, process Schmassa says,
Speaker 1: my mom used to say, let's get that out of
Speaker 1: the way. That's done. So that's your core, and you
Speaker 1: hope Butler's their long term. But the question for you,
Speaker 1: Vinny becomes, all right, Jimmy but there goes to the Sixers.
Speaker 1: Is Jimmy Butler, who's let's say, a top twenty five
Speaker 1: player in the NBA. I think that's pretty much consensus
Speaker 1: on that. Uh, does he move the needle? Do you
Speaker 1: move futures numbers on the on the Sixers on air,
Speaker 1: or do you wait for the money to come in.
Speaker 1: I think there's there's a couple of factors and it's
Speaker 1: it's a it's good. Let's go back to the Flacco
Speaker 1: Jackson thing too, because there's there's other factors involved. Circumstances
Speaker 1: current form had the two points where that that I'm
Speaker 1: referring to could be different, could be more. If the
Speaker 1: Ravens were playing the way they played against the Steelers
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh a month ago, right, and ever since then,
Speaker 1: they're a different team. They're they're trending down. So there's
Speaker 1: circumstances to to take any consideration as well in terms
Speaker 1: of Jimmy Butler. Uh not yet, And I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: First of all, if did you see you have to
Speaker 1: you look into it a little bit as well. Joel
Speaker 1: Embiid's comments the other day, we're interesting in the sense that, yeah,
Speaker 1: we welcome him, but is he about him or is
Speaker 1: he about the team? Is Jimmy Butler one of the
Speaker 1: top twenty five players in the league? To your point,
Speaker 1: I think he is when he's being Jimmy Butler when
Speaker 1: he's played. Don't forget he's an Olympian. Two, let's let's
Speaker 1: remember this heat world played on our national team with
Speaker 1: the likes Lebron James at all. Okay, so definitely one
Speaker 1: of the top players in the league, but he's become
Speaker 1: a player that's been more of a distraction. Is he scoring?
Speaker 1: Is he playing good? Does he put? Yeah, he's a
Speaker 1: good player. But the thing you have to remember is
Speaker 1: what is the chemistry like with the team? Now? We
Speaker 1: knew what the chemistry was like with the Sixers before,
Speaker 1: we knew what the chemistry was like with the Timberwolves before. Now,
Speaker 1: how how does that dynamic change to me? I want
Speaker 1: to see that a little bit before there is a
Speaker 1: significant adjustment in terms of the futures, not just yet
Speaker 1: because is sixers are right there? Because the Celtics, I
Speaker 1: would say, you know the other part of the little
Speaker 1: wild card in this is have the Celtics underachieved a
Speaker 1: little bit to this point, probably in the eyes of
Speaker 1: some people. So there's some things to look at and
Speaker 1: and you're gonna watch a little bit. Um, is Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler going to have as many nights off in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: as he's had uh in Minnesota and his early going
Speaker 1: and don't forget the proverbial rest. So there's a lot
Speaker 1: of dynamics in place, right. I don't want to commit
Speaker 1: to a specific number just yet, except what I will
Speaker 1: say is this has it moved the needle in my
Speaker 1: opinion for the future yet? Know? And that's what I
Speaker 1: was getting at that. The point that I'm trying to
Speaker 1: make is you think, right in the mainstream media, oh
Speaker 1: my god, what a monster trade this is in the NBA,
Speaker 1: well by by their definition, by the by the casual
Speaker 1: world's definition as we've known it for our lives. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but the betting markets is the truth, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: move anything, doesn't move anything. Uh. The Sixers are by
Speaker 1: any state, need no better right now sit unseen obviously
Speaker 1: with Butler than the fourth best team in the conference.
Speaker 1: In the conference, um, you have the Celtics as the
Speaker 1: as the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. I
Speaker 1: think folks would say that despite the fact that right now,
Speaker 1: right out of the shoots Toronto, they're never losing basketball games,
Speaker 1: and Milwaukee has the h perhaps the m v P
Speaker 1: and Janice. They just went into Golden State and housed
Speaker 1: the Warriors. I know they didn't have Draymond and I
Speaker 1: know Steph got hurt in the middle, but there, but
Speaker 1: there are the current These are the current Eastern Conference
Speaker 1: odds now Celtics plus four fifty. This right here at
Speaker 1: the South Point Hotels, you know, Celtics plus four fifty,
Speaker 1: raptor six to one, six Ers fifteen to one, and
Speaker 1: the aforementioned Bucks to one. So the Sixers have come
Speaker 1: down a little bit just to finish the point. So again, overall, yeah,
Speaker 1: you get Now that's more of an anticipatory move as well.
Speaker 1: You have to realize that the public is well Jimmy
Speaker 1: Butler's gray, you know, when the Celtics are underachieving. But
Speaker 1: the wild card you hit on. These Raptors are good raptors.
Speaker 1: Right now, they're the best team in the East. There,
Speaker 1: let's face it, Yeah, nobody's really talking about them because
Speaker 1: the Celtics obviously it's the Boston market and they get
Speaker 1: a lot of attention. Um, and then now the Sixers,
Speaker 1: who had a lot of folks felt it would be
Speaker 1: a two team race going into the season. But right
Speaker 1: now Toronto, Toronto is the best team in the East.
Speaker 1: Let's not forget that. So but a little bit of
Speaker 1: a move to the Sixers overall in general terms, but
Speaker 1: for me personally, UM, I want to see more how
Speaker 1: they perform and see how this chemistry comes together. Don't
Speaker 1: forget Joel embiid uh. I want to see how many
Speaker 1: times those two are in the lineup together, right, that's
Speaker 1: that's gonna be. I'm also hard pressed to wonder if
Speaker 1: if this team we'll see we'll find out very soon,
Speaker 1: will this Sixers, Will this iteration of the Sixers be
Speaker 1: better than the team that lost to the Celtics in
Speaker 1: the playoff was last year with Sivan Bell and Elliot.
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a fair question. I don't know
Speaker 1: that they are anyway, just just an exercise in letting.
Speaker 1: You know, the the more casual, better know things you
Speaker 1: think move the needle in the betting market, don't really
Speaker 1: move it at all, maybe slightly, if at all. Or Hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: seeing reports out that Cooper Cup has officially been diagnosed
Speaker 1: with torn a c L ended up for the season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was tough to see yesterday. We'll get to the
Speaker 1: Rams coming up. But that was a non contact injury
Speaker 1: and you could tell he was in severe pain. Oftentimes
Speaker 1: a c L s are non contact, which is which
Speaker 1: is really pretty amazing. That's when you know they're serious.
Speaker 1: Right Yeah, yeah, all right, let's move on. We left
Speaker 1: off with since at a Baltimore where there was no
Speaker 1: line for that game. With the status of Joe Flacco,
Speaker 1: the Vikings at the Bears, Vikings at the Bear talk
Speaker 1: about a big game, an important game, and these two
Speaker 1: teams going heads up for the division right here. Vikings
Speaker 1: are five three and one, Chicago six and three on
Speaker 1: top in the NFC North Uh Bears yesterday getting it
Speaker 1: done in a big way. Bears beat the Lions thirty
Speaker 1: four to twenty two. They cover the seven points spread.
Speaker 1: Mitchell Trabisky twenty three of thirty for three fifty five,
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, note picks and a one forty eight point
Speaker 1: six passer rating. Give it up for Mr Bisky. We often,
Speaker 1: uh say not nice things about Trabisky or at least
Speaker 1: downplay him. But that is a great game. Allan Robinson
Speaker 1: six catches for one thirty three, two touchdowns for the Bears.
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller five catches for one two and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Trabisky also ran for a touchdown. That three fifty five
Speaker 1: yards is a career high for him, by the way,
Speaker 1: first place Bears. I did not know this, Vinnie. They
Speaker 1: snapped a ten game losing streak against division opponents with
Speaker 1: that win. Yesterday They lost tenant rode A Division opponents.
Speaker 1: They had dropped nine of ten against Detroit, specifically first
Speaker 1: of Vision wins since Halloween, and the Bears surpassed their
Speaker 1: win total from last year with their third Strade victory.
Speaker 1: How about that. It's a good team. Um, this is
Speaker 1: a popular team, no question. And Trabisky I think for
Speaker 1: me personally, the jury is still out. I liked it,
Speaker 1: but I thought he played. He played a good game yesterday.
Speaker 1: Uh he did, and I'm gonna say that was a
Speaker 1: better performance yesterday statistically, it was a bigger performance against
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay earlier in the year, remember, but um, I
Speaker 1: think overall a better performance yesterday. Yeah, he had six
Speaker 1: touchdowns against the Bucks, But I think you're right better
Speaker 1: overall performance. Killil Mack two of chicago six sacks against Stafford,
Speaker 1: both in the second half after missing back to back
Speaker 1: games with an injured right ankle, and Cody Parkey of
Speaker 1: the Bears. If you're looking for one knock on the
Speaker 1: Bears yesterday, Cody Parkey did the impossible. He missed two
Speaker 1: extra points and two field goals, hitting uprights on all
Speaker 1: four kicks. Do you get a prize for that? That's unbelievable?
Speaker 1: Hit an upright on all four of those? Um, what's
Speaker 1: the price of that? Serbisky By the way, at halftime
Speaker 1: had a perfect rating one point three. He was fourteen
Speaker 1: and sixteen in the first half for two yards two
Speaker 1: touchdowns in a no huddle predominantly for the Bears, and
Speaker 1: the Chicago scored on its first four possessions to grab
Speaker 1: a twenty six to nothing lead. Chicago by you know,
Speaker 1: in Minnesota with the extra rest here they're coming off
Speaker 1: a bye. Remember when the Vikings were considered at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the year to be a viable Super Bowl contender?
Speaker 1: Are we Are we thinking of them that way anymore?
Speaker 1: I don't think we are Chicago by a field goal.
Speaker 1: Yes it was for that. I think you'll see this
Speaker 1: game bounce between three and two and a half, you know,
Speaker 1: but three, yeah open three here? Uh at the South Point.
Speaker 1: Gott to check the weather Sunday games in Chicago, November
Speaker 1: Soldier Field. But it's football, so it feels like it
Speaker 1: feels like football. This game feels like football. It's a
Speaker 1: football game. Good hitting Weather used to say, to do
Speaker 1: one more here, we supposed to do one more, all right,
Speaker 1: We'll do one more. The defending champions against one of
Speaker 1: this year's contenders, the Eagles, in New Orleans to play
Speaker 1: the Saints. Hard to not think the Saints are the
Speaker 1: in the catbird seat right now. I know the Chiefs
Speaker 1: in the Rams get all the headlines, but man, that
Speaker 1: was perfection. Yesterday the Eagles we talked about. The Eagles
Speaker 1: are now four and five, the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles,
Speaker 1: who were not flagged at all yesterday as we just
Speaker 1: talked about. Uh, the Eagles are four and five. Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz in defeat thirty two forty four for three sixty
Speaker 1: yesterday two touchdowns in a pick zach Ertz, you will
Speaker 1: go a long way before you see a tight end
Speaker 1: line like this. Four team catches for one forty five
Speaker 1: and two scores um. But his past to Earths Wentz
Speaker 1: two Earth's on fourth down fell a yard short of
Speaker 1: a first down at the Cowboys twenty nine with one
Speaker 1: on nine left. That sealed the deal for the Cowboys
Speaker 1: and Eagles game last night. Eagles got the ball back
Speaker 1: by the way at their thirty two. I shouldn't say that.
Speaker 1: After that, with forty seconds left, they drove all the
Speaker 1: way down the Cowboys thirty two for the final play
Speaker 1: and then Wentz completed a past to Earth's inside the
Speaker 1: Dallas ten Art's lateral to golden tape, but he was
Speaker 1: tackled for no game to end it. The Eagles. Last year,
Speaker 1: I was saying this with Mitch and PAULI, how they
Speaker 1: converted on third downs all the time last year they
Speaker 1: only had. The Eagles only had all of last year
Speaker 1: one eight eight total plays where they were playing from behind.
Speaker 1: They've already had two hundred four through nine games this year,
Speaker 1: and they were deadly on fourth down last year as well.
Speaker 1: Uh Saints scored on their first nine possessions. Yesterday against
Speaker 1: the Bengals, they kneeled on their tenth. That's all you
Speaker 1: need to know. Breeze two five two sixty five three
Speaker 1: touchdown Stone picks one fifty point four passer rating. And oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, he scored one as well New Orleans
Speaker 1: by a touchdown at home seven and a half. Oh,
Speaker 1: get the hook to the hook. Wow, you might see
Speaker 1: seven seven and a half. Back and forth here, um,
Speaker 1: probably go back and forth. But how about that the
Speaker 1: defending Super Bowl champions seven and a half point dogs.
Speaker 1: There have been fifty one Super Bowl champions. Sixteen did
Speaker 1: not make the playoffs. The follow the Eagles right now
Speaker 1: would be the seventeenth at a fifty two. Wow. Man,
Speaker 1: we'll get back to guessing lines. Vinni Malilo in for
Speaker 1: Christie Andrews. It's a numbers game right here at Visa.
Speaker 1: As always, the show brought to you by the good
Speaker 1: folks over at bookmaker dot EU. Bookmaker dot U an
Speaker 1: industry leader for close to thirty years, not only because
Speaker 1: pro players considered them a must because their first to

Speaker 1: a Monday here on Visa Numbers game. Gil Alexander Jorge
Speaker 1: is in Vinnie in for Chrissy on this Monday's Wee
Speaker 1: go over Week eleven lines in the National Football League.
Speaker 1: When I was a kid. Today used to be the Monday,
Speaker 1: used to be veterans There at least we took off
Speaker 1: on Veterans Day, but yesterday was technically Veterans Day. Either way.
Speaker 1: We want to pay tribute to those who have served. UM.
Speaker 1: Thank you for your service, past and present, past and present.
Speaker 1: All right, it's exactly right. My dad Visa and Vinny one. Yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: my dad served UH during the Korean conflict. He was
Speaker 1: a medic. He was actually but he was fortunate, I
Speaker 1: guess not to have to go to Korea. Some of
Speaker 1: his division did, First Infantry Division. He was an occupational
Speaker 1: force in Bavaria. It is because of people like your
Speaker 1: father and UH and all the veterans that we get
Speaker 1: to prattle on about things like NFL lines that's right,
Speaker 1: and who covered and who didn't that's right? Do you
Speaker 1: think we have it rough? All right? One of the
Speaker 1: guys who works behind the glass year and Michael Sociate.
Speaker 1: He works on the weekends and he does a lot
Speaker 1: of the shots around the city. So whenever you see
Speaker 1: a sports book from around the city, he's usually one
Speaker 1: of the producers in the back. He's also a style
Speaker 1: um and and and it is all all of our
Speaker 1: privileges come from that and all of our our freedoms,
Speaker 1: and uh uh, you know there's no awful way to
Speaker 1: segue back into the NFL. We do. I don't want
Speaker 1: to give the Saints short shrift. We just talked about
Speaker 1: them briefly yesterday. I said seven against the Eagles. You
Speaker 1: said it's seven and a half. My, oh my, how
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl champions have fallen. But I don't want to.
Speaker 1: I don't want to scape by the Saints because again,
Speaker 1: what they did yesterday against the Bengals, you could go years,
Speaker 1: decades without it happening. Again, the Saints scored on their
Speaker 1: first nine possessions. They kneel on their tenth offensive perfection.
Speaker 1: Drew Brees five for two, sixty five three touchdowns, no picks,
Speaker 1: again as many touchdowns touchdown passes as in completions, and
Speaker 1: oh he added one that thing where he just reaches
Speaker 1: over the gold line. That that Drew Brees thing that
Speaker 1: he does one fifty point four passer rating. Mark Ingram
Speaker 1: thirteen carries one oh four three catches for fifty eight
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Alvin Kamara twelve carries fifty six yards
Speaker 1: two touchdowns for catches for forty six Michael Thomas eight
Speaker 1: catches for seventy two touchdowns, eighth straight win for the Saints.
Speaker 1: They beat the Bengals fifty to fourteen, scoring every time
Speaker 1: they got the ball except for the last one again
Speaker 1: when they kneeled. Breeze led the Saints to touchdowns all
Speaker 1: five first fl possessions, only only two picks excuse me
Speaker 1: two in completions in the first half eighteen of twenty
Speaker 1: two fourteen three touchdowns in the first half. They picked
Speaker 1: up two hundred forty four yards on the ground. Did
Speaker 1: the Saints. It goes on and on and on. By
Speaker 1: the way, on defense, they've allowed touchdowns on twenty of
Speaker 1: their opponents twenty eight drives inside the twenty yard line,
Speaker 1: which by the way is only out of thirty two teams.
Speaker 1: So yesterday, what they did is they just kept the
Speaker 1: Bengals out of the red zone. The Bengals only got
Speaker 1: inside the red zone once they did score a touchdown.
Speaker 1: But that's how you that's how you prevent that. Just
Speaker 1: don't let him in there. Taking care of business. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, you talk about look aheads too, and scheduling.
Speaker 1: They still have two games with Carolina, two important division games.
Speaker 1: And I believe they still have a date with the
Speaker 1: Steelers as well, So that was that's why the win
Speaker 1: last week against the Rams was so important. When you
Speaker 1: look at the schedules for the rest of the season
Speaker 1: go certainly the Rams would have an edge in terms
Speaker 1: of where the The Saints have a much more difficult
Speaker 1: road ahead. But they've met every challenge so far they met.
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as a bad spot in the schedule,
Speaker 1: not yet anyway. We don't usually distill it down to
Speaker 1: like completion percentage one quarterback to one wide receiver, but
Speaker 1: Drew Brees when targeting Michael Thomas this season has an
Speaker 1: eighty nine percent completion role eighty nine percent completion rate,
Speaker 1: So basically not the dumbadown you have Kamara and Ingram.
Speaker 1: But really, if you just if you just go to
Speaker 1: Thomas every time, with those guys on the field, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be fine of any They do play the Steelers
Speaker 1: week sixteen sixty the Panthers week seventeen, so that might
Speaker 1: be wrapped up by then. My favorite stat of that
Speaker 1: you haven't mentioned yet, Uh, they didn't punt at all yesterday,
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, scored every time they have the fewest
Speaker 1: amount of punts this entire season, nineteen nineteen punts. So
Speaker 1: Thomas Morstead is their punter and the Saints Twitter account
Speaker 1: caught up with him napping in his locker room during
Speaker 1: the games eight and one. Awesome. Michael Thomas two seventy
Speaker 1: four catches forty career games. That surpasses Odell Beckham Jr.
Speaker 1: Who had the mark for the most receptions in NFL
Speaker 1: history through four yatting. So it's seven and a half
Speaker 1: against the defending Super Bowl champions. So again, as I
Speaker 1: mentioned before, could be the seventeen Super Bowl champion out
Speaker 1: of fifty two not to make the playoffs the year
Speaker 1: after winning the title. Again the Eagles who won the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl using replay rules from the future. The Eagles
Speaker 1: fans get so mad when I say that, Ah, why
Speaker 1: do you have to bring this? Is it fat anything
Speaker 1: to do with it? X? Next Titans at the Colts?
Speaker 1: About these Colts? How about these Colts, the Colts who
Speaker 1: have not gotten sacked Andrew Luck has not gotten sacked
Speaker 1: in four games, And how about these Titans. This is
Speaker 1: a good game, a game. It's an a f C
Speaker 1: South clash clash. So here's what I did. In the
Speaker 1: Super Contest yesterday. This is how dumb I am you
Speaker 1: ready for this? I had the Colts as one of
Speaker 1: my five and I'm like, oh, it's three in the
Speaker 1: contest against the Jaguars. You know what that that might
Speaker 1: push I was right about right, So I replaced it
Speaker 1: the loser. I replaced it with the Jets. Thank you
Speaker 1: very much. Great moments and Super Contest history. Uh, Colts
Speaker 1: beat the Jaguars twenty six. They do hold on. Colts
Speaker 1: were really good Andrew Luck was really good in the
Speaker 1: first half. Then it kind of was just hanging on
Speaker 1: in the second. Tennessee, as we mentioned, beat the Patriots,
Speaker 1: did you again, one thing to cover against the Patriots?
Speaker 1: One thing to beat him? Did you think they were
Speaker 1: going to crush the Patriots like they did? That was
Speaker 1: We're not used to seeing the Patriots man handled like that.
Speaker 1: And let's remember forced the um force Bill Belichick to say,
Speaker 1: you know what, that's enough for Tom Brady today the
Speaker 1: middle of the fourth quarter, You're you're done for the day,
Speaker 1: Brian Horror, come on in this is this game is done.
Speaker 1: So Titans win at thirty four to ten. Uh. Some
Speaker 1: comments after the game, Dion Lewis, former Patriot quote, we
Speaker 1: knew we could be physical with them and they would fold.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, it's personal. When you go cheap, you get
Speaker 1: your ass kicked, meaning he would have signed for less
Speaker 1: they still didn't want to pay him. Patriots with three losses,
Speaker 1: two of them one to the Jags early on, but
Speaker 1: a dominant performance by the jab being the Jags best
Speaker 1: game of the year. Probles fall down in Jacksonville and
Speaker 1: now to Tennessee another dominance. Titans sacked Tom Brady three
Speaker 1: times hit him six more times in their thirty four
Speaker 1: to ten win, most sects allowed in the game this
Speaker 1: season by the Patriots, and as you said, Belichick pulling
Speaker 1: Brady for Brian Hoyer midway through the fourth Titans out
Speaker 1: gained the Patriots three five to two eighty four, holding
Speaker 1: New England and just forty yards rushing and the Titans.
Speaker 1: The previously offensively challenged Titans scored a season high end
Speaker 1: points after jumping out to a seventeen to three lead
Speaker 1: in the first quarter, and now have beaten both of
Speaker 1: last season Super Bowl teams, the Eagles and the Patriots
Speaker 1: at home. This year, Titans came in with the NFL
Speaker 1: stingia scoring. D also led the league in fewest touchdowns
Speaker 1: allowed in the red zone, and they held the Patriots
Speaker 1: to a pair of fifty two yard field goal attempts
Speaker 1: by Gostkowski missed the second one, by the way. James
Speaker 1: Devlan did score from one yard out early in the second,
Speaker 1: but that was the domination. Corey Davis seven catches for
Speaker 1: a touchdown for Tennessee. Back to the Colts for a
Speaker 1: second Andrew Luck twenty one of twenty nine and their
Speaker 1: three point win over Jacksonville. The Colts three point win
Speaker 1: two eight five, three touchdowns, one pick. Luck through three
Speaker 1: first half touchdown passes picked up only two first downs
Speaker 1: in the second half right Jacksonville, trailing by three, quickly
Speaker 1: marched from its forty two yard line, laid into field
Speaker 1: goal range, and then Rashad Green Sr. Went down at
Speaker 1: the Colts twenty three. It looked like the Jaguars were
Speaker 1: already set up for at least tying field goal, and
Speaker 1: initially Green was ruled down before the ball scored it out.
Speaker 1: On review, it was ruled that Kenny Moore had ripped
Speaker 1: the ball away from Green just before his leg went down,
Speaker 1: and Malik Hooker scooped it up and that was the
Speaker 1: final nailing the coffin for the Jaguars. Uh, just before
Speaker 1: they ran. By the way, it looked like the Jaguars
Speaker 1: got the next playoff too. And yeah, but there's a
Speaker 1: couple came down from the booth, I believe, right, because
Speaker 1: there can't be a challenge in the last two minutes, right,
Speaker 1: So that I think came down from from upstairs. If
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, Gill,
Speaker 1: because a lot of folks may not realize that, uh
Speaker 1: that we're not watching that game. How that game ended.
Speaker 1: It ended on an overturned call. Yeah. Now here's the
Speaker 1: thing people are gonna remember from this show that I was.
Speaker 1: I was saying, what are you gonna do something? Managery
Speaker 1: luck Whens. But people need to know I have a
Speaker 1: Colts to win the a f C South Future from
Speaker 1: before the season at eight to one, So I am
Speaker 1: all about the Colts doing well and so having that
Speaker 1: ticket in my pocket. Can I just tell you this,
Speaker 1: I didn't think he fumbled the ball. Uh. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of people are watching like, oh he did. I
Speaker 1: did not think he fumbled the ball. I thought his
Speaker 1: his lower leg, his calf muscle was down or shin
Speaker 1: or a shin in this case was down, and then
Speaker 1: the ball squared like he had the ball pinned to
Speaker 1: his body. M I don't get the rules anymore. I
Speaker 1: don't get them anymore. Very Uh, it's it's very unpredictable.
Speaker 1: I mean when you when you were watching the replay,
Speaker 1: clearly the ball came loose, but to your point, Guild, uh,
Speaker 1: clutching it to his body, which you couldn't see. I
Speaker 1: didn't think there was enough evidence to overturn them. So
Speaker 1: I think that's now was the ball, you know, coming loose? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean you can make a case so many more times.
Speaker 1: When did pinning it to your body exactly? Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: And then it looks like that's how that game ended,
Speaker 1: and of course the Colts, so I went into victory
Speaker 1: formation I was in, and the Jags seemingly got a playoff,
Speaker 1: but then they were told they didn't remember this too.
Speaker 1: There was a time during the week, a couple of
Speaker 1: times that game went to two and a half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, there were there were it bounced between uh
Speaker 1: Colts three and two and a half uh midweek, So
Speaker 1: again I was like, I don't want to pick the
Speaker 1: Colts because that might push it did, and then I
Speaker 1: took the Jens. Uh, this will be three to then
Speaker 1: this will be three. Also, the Colts will be just
Speaker 1: like they were three points favorites over the Jaguars. I
Speaker 1: think they should be three point favorites over the Titans
Speaker 1: two and a half. And it will bounce back and forth,
Speaker 1: probably between two and a half and three during the
Speaker 1: course of the week. I can see that. Alright, g
Speaker 1: Colts two games out now against this team, the Texans
Speaker 1: who go to Washington, Oh wow, against the The schedule
Speaker 1: is funny because check call is the Paper Tiger Bowl.
Speaker 1: No what it is. What it is is it's the
Speaker 1: Texans who have the most ridiculous record in football based
Speaker 1: on what has happened in their games versus the true
Speaker 1: paper Tiger, the Washington Redskins. So the Texans who are
Speaker 1: six and three, uh, coming off the by here the
Speaker 1: Texans again, they're six wins. Jedi mind tricking Frank Wright
Speaker 1: into punting excuse me too, into going for it in
Speaker 1: his own territory and overtime, although Texans was one more
Speaker 1: playing a field goal, they failed to convert. Jedi mind
Speaker 1: tricking Jason Garrett into punting the ball while in Texans
Speaker 1: territory and over time. That was another win. Uh. Last
Speaker 1: week Jedi mind tricking Vans Joseph into kicking a sixty
Speaker 1: two yard field goal at the end of the first half,
Speaker 1: which of course missed no fault of Brandon McManus and
Speaker 1: the Texans having enough time to get the field goal
Speaker 1: just before the the first half ended. That ended up
Speaker 1: being the margin of victory of the game. Texans ended
Speaker 1: up winning by two. They had no business beating Buffalo
Speaker 1: where they gotta pick six late at home. They ended
Speaker 1: up beating a inner turmoil Jacksonville team. And oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, there one big win was on a scorely
Speaker 1: Thursday night against the Dolphins. Did I cover it all?
Speaker 1: I think pretty much. But they find but they find
Speaker 1: a way as as bizarre, just like I'll say to
Speaker 1: Colts fans, where I have a future sticking the Texas,
Speaker 1: I haven't over at eight and a half, so I
Speaker 1: love the fact that you're winning these games. And then
Speaker 1: there's the Washington Redskins, the NFC East leading Washington Redskins
Speaker 1: leading the division by two games, or the Cowboys of
Speaker 1: the Eagles six and three do we have a hail
Speaker 1: to the Redskins playing in the background? Can we get
Speaker 1: that all right? Please? Really thanks? I appreciate that, um,
Speaker 1: the Redskins. The box score in the Redskins Buccaneers game
Speaker 1: yesterday is a sight to behold. Frame it. Redskins win
Speaker 1: this game sixteen to three. They do so as three
Speaker 1: and a half point dogs on the road at Tampa Washington.
Speaker 1: Gave up five hundred and one yards yesterday and forced
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay to punt once all game. Repeat that, gave
Speaker 1: up five dred and one yards. The Bucks forced Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay to punt once all day. That's what four takeaways,
Speaker 1: three of them foiling scoring opportunities will do for a
Speaker 1: tream for a team that struggles to score points, and
Speaker 1: that is in fact the Redskins. They struggle to score points.
Speaker 1: The Redskins turnover differential improves to plus eleven on the season.
Speaker 1: The Redskins were outgained to seventy nine to one thirty
Speaker 1: six in the first two quarters, yet led six to
Speaker 1: three at halftime. Let me continue with these. The Bucks
Speaker 1: out first down to them twenty nine to fifteen. Third
Speaker 1: down conversions for the Bucks six or ten total yards.
Speaker 1: Bucks four Skins to eight six passing yards Bucks three
Speaker 1: Skins one seventy turnovers for to nothing in favor of
Speaker 1: the Redskins. It's all that matters. Fitzpatrick almost four yards
Speaker 1: passing right, So you think about how many touchdowns did
Speaker 1: you throw? None? None? Thinking about turnovers two is when
Speaker 1: and where they occur and if you look at for
Speaker 1: one in particular, uh was right on the goal line
Speaker 1: interception by the Redskins. There's another fun as they were
Speaker 1: going towards. It's amazing, so uh hard to be And
Speaker 1: let's remember this that the Redskins offensive line decimated majories
Speaker 1: from a week ago. No starting guards. They're done, I
Speaker 1: mean they're starting Tackles are always banged. And here you've
Speaker 1: got this two teams, this is at Washington. This game
Speaker 1: is in Washington, the Texans in Washington against the Redskins.
Speaker 1: Quirky stat of the year. You thought the Chiefs streak
Speaker 1: of coin flips that finally ended yesterday was a quirky stat.
Speaker 1: The Skins have not been involved in a lead change
Speaker 1: in any game all season. How about that viney By
Speaker 1: the way, they like to play on the road more so,
Speaker 1: That's what Josh Norman said. Josh Norman said, like to
Speaker 1: play on the road. On the road, that's a testam
Speaker 1: to the morgue that is FedEx Field. It's a morgue,
Speaker 1: but it was the worst place ever. Washington used to
Speaker 1: be a really good home field. I grew up in
Speaker 1: our right. Oh my memories with my father and RFK
Speaker 1: with the stadium shaking. Are you kidding me? And now
Speaker 1: they play in an antiseptic donut in Landover. But you
Speaker 1: can't get in and you can't get out. It's been
Speaker 1: that way since day one. You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: Skins fans. Everybody d C nodding right now. So it's
Speaker 1: used to at Shington. Houston is going to be a
Speaker 1: favorite on the road, Vinnie, is that little? I think
Speaker 1: of the NFC East leading Redskins, who have an easy
Speaker 1: schedule and Aaron Shots, who was on a numbers game
Speaker 1: last week, might be right. Even as decimated as the
Speaker 1: Redskins offensive line is, they may, just they may get there.
Speaker 1: They might, They just might. You imagine one else wants
Speaker 1: to win the division. You imagine wild card week already.
Speaker 1: Let's just imagine wild Card week the Redskins. The Redskins
Speaker 1: in a wild card game. And in the a f
Speaker 1: C the Texans against the Bengals, Part seventeen, Houston is
Speaker 1: going to be favored by three on the road. That
Speaker 1: is correct, Yes, Houston three. There you go. Here's one
Speaker 1: for you. Oh that was it. That's all we got.
Speaker 1: You're right, So that's all it needs to be said.
Speaker 1: The Redskins are three point dogs at six and three
Speaker 1: and after an aseptic I sorry, I got nothing else. Sorry,
Speaker 1: all right, there's one you can tell. I love the
Speaker 1: the Giants play tonight, but we do have a number
Speaker 1: of Buccaneers against the Giants. At the Giants, Kwan Barkley says,
Speaker 1: we're gonna win the next eight game. They're gonna sweep
Speaker 1: starting tonight, right, Barkley said, were gonna beat the Wenna,
Speaker 1: meet the Niners. Then we're gonna be the Bucks and
Speaker 1: we're gonna win six more after that. You imagine the
Speaker 1: Giants right by the way, a nineer still three and
Speaker 1: a half tonight against the Giants. You imagine if the
Speaker 1: one in seven Giants won the NFC East uh Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay at the Giants. That what you said, So we
Speaker 1: went through We already went through the Giants. We already
Speaker 1: went through the Tampa Bay stats, Fitzpatrick intercepted twice, lost
Speaker 1: a fumble on a sack inside the Washington ten. Intercepted
Speaker 1: twice and lost a fumble on a sack inside the
Speaker 1: Washington ten. Bucks have the NFL's top passing attack, second
Speaker 1: in total offense. They fell to one in three straight
Speaker 1: up in games they've gained five hundred plus yards in
Speaker 1: this season. Can you imagine five hundred plus yards in
Speaker 1: four games they were one in three? Tampa Bay lost
Speaker 1: three in a row, now six of seven following a
Speaker 1: two and oh start. They have failed to force a
Speaker 1: turnover on defense for the sixth straight game. Game Man,
Speaker 1: you gotta take the ball away at something you do.
Speaker 1: Three of the four giveaways, by the way, thwart its
Speaker 1: scoring opportunities that we mentioned, including jacquesz Rodgers fumble on
Speaker 1: a reception that ruled eighteen yards into the end zone
Speaker 1: where it was recovered by Haha Clinton dis for a touchback.
Speaker 1: Bucks moved into Redskins territory on all five of their
Speaker 1: first half possessions, ended up with three points for all
Speaker 1: that trouble. Wow. Uh, fourth yard game for Fitzpatrick this year,
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. Sixteen to three Tampa Bay at the Giants.
Speaker 1: Giants haven't played as vin he said, Giants still three
Speaker 1: and a half point Dogs at San Francisco. I'm so
Speaker 1: surprised it's still three in a hook tonight. Well it's
Speaker 1: gone back and forth, right, three three and a half,
Speaker 1: but it's been at three and a half for the
Speaker 1: better part of the weekend. So without knowing what the
Speaker 1: Giants do tonight, because this is I mean, this line
Speaker 1: could be completely and I know every game result could
Speaker 1: impact this number. Oh Man, Tonight's result will totally impact
Speaker 1: because if the Giants crushed the Niners, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: one thing. But if the Giants lose to the Niners tonight,
Speaker 1: oh Man might be a home dog. Right this, this
Speaker 1: whole we're sweeping eight games from sequon Barkley is gonna
Speaker 1: be like fold the tent up right now. To me,
Speaker 1: it's just a coin flip. I don't even know what
Speaker 1: to say. Without seeing the Giants tonight, you got it?
Speaker 1: Pick them? There have I missed yet today? By a margin?
Speaker 1: These lines are very easy today, are they? Okay? Okay,
Speaker 1: let's do another one. How many more games do we have, Vinny,
Speaker 1: We've got one to three on Sunday and of course
Speaker 1: Monday night. All right, we'll continue after the break guessing
Speaker 1: lines week eleven, hoping to isolate value after a carnage Sunday.
Speaker 1: For betters and people like Vinny, it's making out books
Speaker 1: getting it all back in one early slate of games
Speaker 1: in the in the daytime, Vinny in for Chrissie. It's
Speaker 1: a numbers game right here at vis what's up? I

Speaker 1: don't phrase it properly, that allow the questions and count.
Speaker 1: Every question has to start Betty, all right, by the way, Um,
Speaker 1: you did you did something bad, didn't you? Vinny? Did
Speaker 1: you messed up? I did tell the people why you
Speaker 1: missed that? I missed because the Sunday night game, which
Speaker 1: will we already got to it was the Vikings Bears
Speaker 1: got flexed, so we've already talked about it replacing the
Speaker 1: Steelers Jaguars, which is game number three, and our current
Speaker 1: segment is that this is a segment right for Hey,
Speaker 1: that one I kind of blew out one one who
Speaker 1: probably want the Chicago game in there. He made a
Speaker 1: point to talk about it last night that they hadn't
Speaker 1: been the Chicago a long time, so something that football
Speaker 1: goes back to. So listen, it could have been worse, right,
Speaker 1: I could have could have made the Vikings a favorite
Speaker 1: in Chicago that didn't have get carried away. Alright, alright,
Speaker 1: n goes Chargers. So Bears, Vikings got flexed in Jaguar
Speaker 1: Steelers which is coming up got flexed out. But right now,
Speaker 1: what is it? We go to Los Angeles, stubbub By
Speaker 1: the way, best wishes to the folks in California with
Speaker 1: the tragedies of last week. Are thoughts and prayers with
Speaker 1: everyone there. For sure. I was in San Francisco this
Speaker 1: weekend and let me just tell you this. Everybody in
Speaker 1: the city of San Francisco, so think about how far
Speaker 1: that is away from the fires up there in northern California.
Speaker 1: Everybody in the city wearing masks. Literally, the the sky
Speaker 1: was hazed over, the air quality was horrible. There was
Speaker 1: some notion that they were not going to play that
Speaker 1: game in Oakland yesterday, but the air quality wasn't quite
Speaker 1: poor enough where they didn't. But it is just I mean,
Speaker 1: and that's that's outside of the tragedy zone of this
Speaker 1: of the danger zone, if you will, Uh, in northern California. Obviously,
Speaker 1: in Southern California they're experiencing the same. Uh. So, yes,
Speaker 1: our hearts go out to everybody. Thirty one lives lost
Speaker 1: in the fires. Uh. The Rams themselves evacuated from their
Speaker 1: homes down in Southern California. Very close to it that
Speaker 1: on the heels of another tragedy obviously, is shooting in
Speaker 1: Southern California. It's just an awful, just an awful, awful
Speaker 1: weekend for for multiple reasons. Um, this game in l
Speaker 1: a StubHub arena? Is it an arena? No StubHub soccer
Speaker 1: stahid him. You know, we like to say that the
Speaker 1: Chargers don't have a home field advantage there, and they don't,
Speaker 1: but you know, they rarely lose their Chargers rarely lose
Speaker 1: any weight anywhere. Now, you know, Gil, there's a part
Speaker 1: of me that thinks that that setting has really helped
Speaker 1: them in terms of focus. I mean, you could say
Speaker 1: so it is a home game, but they don't have
Speaker 1: to travel as much, although I think Philip Rivers does
Speaker 1: travel on a on a preregular basis. I don't think
Speaker 1: you relocated. His family still based in San Diego. He
Speaker 1: is right, so he has a big, big family, and
Speaker 1: I don't want to relocate the family, the kids in
Speaker 1: particular from school and everything. So credit him for that.
Speaker 1: By the way, stop center Center. It's the center. I
Speaker 1: used to joke about that last year. It's a center.
Speaker 1: So we play football in the center. Um, Denver. You said,
Speaker 1: it's going to Denver in Los Angeles at the StubHub
Speaker 1: Center to play the Chargers. Not exaggerated what I said
Speaker 1: about Sandrancisco. By the way, we couldn't stay outside for
Speaker 1: any amount of time like it is just it's it's horrible.
Speaker 1: And that's again miles and miles away Denver at the Chargers. Listen,
Speaker 1: the Charger is gonna be a touchdown favorite here at minimum.
Speaker 1: I'll say it's a touchdown. UH. Melvin Gordon yesterday against
Speaker 1: the Raiders eighteen carries ninety three yards, five catches for
Speaker 1: seventy two and a touchdown Philip Rivers. This game started
Speaker 1: out with the Chargers doing nothing and the Raiders just
Speaker 1: couldn't take advantage. Philip Rivers took nearly twenty minutes to
Speaker 1: complete his first pass in this game. Didn't complete a
Speaker 1: pass till until inside the second quarter. Chargers got gashed
Speaker 1: on a long fake punt. UH. The offense put up
Speaker 1: a season lower yards by the way. Chargers end up
Speaker 1: winning their sixth straight game anyway, and covering in the
Speaker 1: process twenty six over the struggling Raiders. UH. It's the
Speaker 1: Chargers longest winning streak in nine years, the six in
Speaker 1: a row. Oakland controlled the ball for twenty three of
Speaker 1: the first twenty nine plays in the first quarter, out
Speaker 1: gained the Chargers by one nine yards, but l A
Speaker 1: allowed little um after Melvin Ingram forced to fumble on
Speaker 1: a sack of Derek Carr. Early in the second quarter.
Speaker 1: With the Raiders looking to add to a three to
Speaker 1: nothing lead, the Raiders outgained the Charges at one point
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. They outgained the Charges one thirty
Speaker 1: five to six, and if you recalled before they took
Speaker 1: a three to nothing lead, Dwayne Harris was stopped by
Speaker 1: Derwin James on a shovel pass on fourth and goal
Speaker 1: from the one, didn't I the best chance for Oakland.
Speaker 1: Los Angeles then scored ten points in the second quarter
Speaker 1: with the strip sack of buy Ingram that I mentioned,
Speaker 1: denying Oakland another shot at a field goal, setting up
Speaker 1: one for the Chargers. Anyway, it's the Raiders. It's just
Speaker 1: how it goes for them. Chargers seven and two. I say,
Speaker 1: Charges by seven over the Broncos, who are coming off
Speaker 1: a by here stay hot, Jil Alexander seven. It is
Speaker 1: so what's really the only different so far? That the
Speaker 1: Saints were seven and a half and I had a seven.
Speaker 1: Yeah you're you're good. Yeah, three and two and a half.
Speaker 1: That's the only. Uh. Speaking of the Raiders, they go
Speaker 1: to air Zona play the Cardinals. You are not required
Speaker 1: to watch this National Football League game. Oakland's one and eight,
Speaker 1: arizonas two and seven. So Oakland has lost five in
Speaker 1: a row now by at least fourteen points. Under John Gruden,
Speaker 1: have been outscored seventy five to nine in the past
Speaker 1: nine quarters. Um, Matt Schneidman. Matt Schneidman, I hope I'm
Speaker 1: pronouncing that correctly, rights for the San Jose Mercury News,
Speaker 1: and he says he overheard a veteran player saying, quote,
Speaker 1: I gotta get the f out of here, said he
Speaker 1: didn't say f uh. This is in the locker room
Speaker 1: after the game. As I was mentioning, the air quality
Speaker 1: for the game at an unhealthy level because of wildfires
Speaker 1: yesterday in uh In, uh In neighboring county about a
Speaker 1: hundred fifty miles to the north of Oakland. The air
Speaker 1: quality index was at one fifty nine at kickoff. That's
Speaker 1: an unhealthy zone. Smoke could be smelled throughout the stadium yesterday.
Speaker 1: Don't remember the announcers mentioning, and maybe I missed it.
Speaker 1: The NFL had monitored the situation, but the a Q
Speaker 1: I never got near two hundred. That's the level where
Speaker 1: the game would have needed to be moved. As I said,
Speaker 1: everybody wearing mask it was a it was a weird,
Speaker 1: weird feeling, and math were handed out of the stadium
Speaker 1: masks as they should be because it is a real
Speaker 1: health hazard. Um Mark Davis, the owner of the Raiders,
Speaker 1: has accepted blame for the team's one in eight start.
Speaker 1: He did a wide ranging interview with ESPN. I think
Speaker 1: the most interesting thing to me about it was that
Speaker 1: he acknowledged that the Raiders lost their way, and he
Speaker 1: pinpointed the night when they did, and I think this
Speaker 1: is fascinating. Do you remember there was one We tend
Speaker 1: to remember the games that make no sense to us
Speaker 1: at the time when we're handicapping them. Do you remember
Speaker 1: when the Raiders played the Redskins on a Sunday night
Speaker 1: in land Over, Maryland last year. It was early in
Speaker 1: the season, about a month in. We still thought of
Speaker 1: the Raiders is a very good football team at that point,
Speaker 1: and the Redskins destroyed them. Think were the Raiders slight
Speaker 1: road figure? I think they were? I think they were,
Speaker 1: and the Redskins destroyed him. Mark Davis, take this for
Speaker 1: what it's worth. He says that it all started that
Speaker 1: night because the team are you ready for this, could
Speaker 1: not agree on how to protest the national anthem, And
Speaker 1: he says that sowed the seeds of discord from that moment.
Speaker 1: And he was saying that to tell everybody that everybody
Speaker 1: was blaming Jon Gruden. It happened way before Jon Gruden,
Speaker 1: is what he's trying to say. Fascinating. Aren't they beyond
Speaker 1: that at this point? Yeah, we are, because you traded
Speaker 1: everybody who's good, including a generational player Khalil Mack. Again,
Speaker 1: if the if the New York Giants were selling in
Speaker 1: the eighties, would they have traded Lawrence Taylor? No, they
Speaker 1: would not have. Stop selling us nonsense. Arizona should be mentioned,
Speaker 1: looked pretty good yesterday and defeat against the Chiefs. Cardinals
Speaker 1: do compete, they do. There's a difference between teams that
Speaker 1: um get beat in just get get dominated and teams
Speaker 1: that lose and compete. Cardinals are competing and UM Cardinals
Speaker 1: sack Patrick Mahomes four times yesterday. Benny Cardinals have covered
Speaker 1: five of nine. Listen, the Cardinals got the ball back
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter against the big bad Chiefs yesterday.
Speaker 1: People forget with a chance to take the lead with
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback, the rookie quarterback Josh Rose, and then
Speaker 1: at a screen pass picked off by Justin Houston at
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and the rest is history. So
Speaker 1: David Johnson showed up twenty one carries, touchdown, steven catches
Speaker 1: eighty five and a touchdown fantasy return to fantasy for
Speaker 1: David Jonathan. Anyway, Chiefs one. All that said, it's Oakland
Speaker 1: at Arizona, And just to let you know how bad
Speaker 1: the Raiders are, this is gonna be more than a field.
Speaker 1: It's going to be the Cardinals by four Cardinals. For
Speaker 1: it is too easy, Jorge, These are too easy some
Speaker 1: weeks it's just too easy. Week eleven belongs to Gil Alexander.
Speaker 1: But that's the worst, lad. So the sucky part about
Speaker 1: it is that there's nothing here. Let me uh, let me, well,
Speaker 1: you'll find something. I think between between now and next weekend,
Speaker 1: I think I live very at least I'll find five
Speaker 1: or separate contest alright, so let me let me mention
Speaker 1: this next game has been flexed out, if I haven't
Speaker 1: mentioned already, so I don't endure the wrath, all right, Yes,
Speaker 1: this is the game that was going to be Sunday,
Speaker 1: not now. The Vikings Bears are but the Steelers Jags
Speaker 1: play each other. And by the way, this will be
Speaker 1: a ten am Pacific start Steelers ten am specific Pacific,
Speaker 1: also a specific started ten m as well, in addition
Speaker 1: to be a Pacific start, by the way, a f
Speaker 1: C divisional playoff rematch. That's exactly right. Do I keep
Speaker 1: biting your lines that we're about to say, and then
Speaker 1: I step in and I take it away from you.
Speaker 1: So you're taking numbers? You you know, you're just I
Speaker 1: just I don't know why I'm here. I'm just drinking.
Speaker 1: Oh that's not good. What are you drinking this morning? Vinny?
Speaker 1: Vinny claims that Starbucks used to have a coffee in
Speaker 1: their logo, but this is Seattle's best. But there was
Speaker 1: an episode. Yeah, I do believe if I'm responsible for
Speaker 1: the Starbucks logo for being changed, because if you recall,
Speaker 1: they used to have the word coffee in their logo,
Speaker 1: they do not anymore. You drank at all? No, I
Speaker 1: didn't drink it. I went in one time and I
Speaker 1: asked for coffee, and um, this was on the heels
Speaker 1: of ten patrons asking for everything but coffee. I forgot.
Speaker 1: How much of this bothers you? Okay? And and the
Speaker 1: lady said to me, I'm sorry, so we're out of coffee.
Speaker 1: MTV also rumored to have music videos, once pointing time
Speaker 1: I couldn't mention that I thought she was a kid,
Speaker 1: and I said that that's for death. Pretty good. I said,
Speaker 1: do you ever see that happen in Costello skit where
Speaker 1: you know they goes into the into the drug store
Speaker 1: at the time, goes into the counter and ask for something.
Speaker 1: But we're out of that. But everybody else gets everything.
Speaker 1: That was it? Chee cheetah. They got everything right. You
Speaker 1: can get your initials right in cream. Orge claims to
Speaker 1: have gone into a KFC once and then not having
Speaker 1: fried chicken as well. One that actually did happen, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right? Was the game again Pittsburgh and Jacksonville. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the one. Blake bordles yesterday defeat thirty eight for
Speaker 1: three twenty two touchdowns. Jags have lost five straight, six
Speaker 1: of seven or last in their division. What had happened Jacksonville?
Speaker 1: And this was the This was a pretty trendy pick.
Speaker 1: This team was a pretty trendy pick to represent the
Speaker 1: a f Oh yeah, they were kind of a trendy
Speaker 1: pick by some yesterday too. I didn't really get it.
Speaker 1: They were. They were among these right in a in
Speaker 1: a must win situation, figured to to to start writing
Speaker 1: this ship within you know with a big division game
Speaker 1: obviously didn't happen. And to remember, they game ended, as
Speaker 1: you pointed out earlier with them, I think they got
Speaker 1: call overturned they got I think they listen again, I'm
Speaker 1: incentivized to have the Colts win this division with a
Speaker 1: ticket in my hand for a lot of money. But
Speaker 1: I think Jacksonville got screwed. I really do. I don't
Speaker 1: think it was a fumble. And they actually also got
Speaker 1: a playoff, a play space off, uh that they were told,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you didn't get the playoff. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: to review this. Jacksonville. Also, something else quirky happened in
Speaker 1: that game. They had an extra point blocked and nearly
Speaker 1: returned for a two point conversion in the first half,
Speaker 1: and then like a meaningless block was thrown at the
Speaker 1: ten yard line um by the Colts as they were
Speaker 1: taking it in for two points. So the Jaguars got
Speaker 1: a huge break on that in that game. Not so meaningless,
Speaker 1: not so meaningless significant to some. That's right, in the
Speaker 1: words of Chris Valor, Pittsburgh six two and one, they've
Speaker 1: got the extra rest. They're at Jacksonville, who's three and six.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Pittsburgh by Let's have some difference here,
Speaker 1: can we Pittsburgh by four and a half? Higher? Five
Speaker 1: and a half? Five and a half? All right, there's
Speaker 1: something more. Hey, probably at some point it's not really key,
Speaker 1: but you think it'll go to six. I think it'll
Speaker 1: go up before it comes down in my opinion. And
Speaker 1: you said, there's only the Monday night game left right
Speaker 1: Kansas City at the Rams, coming up on a numbers
Speaker 1: game right here at Visa, back to a numbers game
Speaker 1: with your host Gil Alexander, broadcasting live from our visa
Speaker 1: in studios in Las Vegas. Hey, there's the jingle, It's
Speaker 1: back the numbers game right here a Visa. We're sports
Speaker 1: Betting Analytics, live actionable sports betting information. Michael Lombardi on
Speaker 1: the show tomorrow, among other guests, be View Tech, Bill Crackenburger,
Speaker 1: Warren Sharp on Thursdays, Todd right as well, we do
Speaker 1: football right Pressent Johnson on Fridays, on and on and on.
Speaker 1: We'll get it going other sports as well, of course,
Speaker 1: basketball and on down the line. But it's all about
Speaker 1: football this time a year, and of course a big,
Speaker 1: big um win for the books yesterday in the National
Speaker 1: Football League Super Contest. Always interesting to look over the
Speaker 1: consensus picks in both Classic and gold UM Super Contest Classic.
Speaker 1: These are the top five picks in Classic on the left, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Seattle, Yes,
Speaker 1: New England, charges Yes, two and three the top five.
Speaker 1: By the way, if you extend Super Contest Classic to
Speaker 1: the top seven UM, then it gets to to four
Speaker 1: and one because Cincinnati and Jacksonville were after that, so
Speaker 1: tough week for Classic Super Contest gold Uh. Philadelphia was
Speaker 1: in fact the top pick fifty seven out of the
Speaker 1: entries had Philadelphia, Atlanta, Jacksonville's a push, Cincinnati, Green Bay
Speaker 1: comes through one three and one Super Contest gold sound
Speaker 1: effects provided by the biggest stats in information at work
Speaker 1: UM not good. And that's reflective of just how poorly
Speaker 1: every you know, casual better did and how well you
Speaker 1: guys made out. It was a better day than last week.
Speaker 1: But I will say this, theft noon players rebounded a
Speaker 1: little bit to reload for tonight and get ready for
Speaker 1: next week. So it's it's never never a sweep, never sweep.
Speaker 1: It's very kind of you. That was very and and
Speaker 1: the better set of Actually, I think Saturday was probably
Speaker 1: the best college Football Day of the Year for the betting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was. You know, I've said it before this morning.
Speaker 1: It's funny how you don't even have to be right
Speaker 1: in college with some of these favorites. Right, Ohio State,
Speaker 1: you know, the handicappedro Ohio State was my Handicapfrohouse State was.
Speaker 1: Michigan State has to pitch a perfect game on defense
Speaker 1: because there's no way their offense is going to win
Speaker 1: this on their own, right. It's especially when the juggling
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and Lurk's hurt, right and their running back is
Speaker 1: do it. Just the margin of ara from Michigan State
Speaker 1: is so so slim, and finally it did manifest there.
Speaker 1: They kept getting pinned at the one. The punter was
Speaker 1: the MVP of the game, and Ohouse State ends up covering.
Speaker 1: But you know, like, was that an impressive governor? No?
Speaker 1: I mean no, It's not like Ohio State is scaring
Speaker 1: anybody with that offense right now. Michigan State's defense was great,
Speaker 1: but Ohio State ended up getting through Texas A and
Speaker 1: m had no business covering. They ended up coming through it.
Speaker 1: Just it works out in college in the pros. Man,
Speaker 1: come on, by the way, Alabama first half again, yes, sir,
Speaker 1: undefeated every single time, like the first month, so they
Speaker 1: were bet the dog got played in the game. But
Speaker 1: you know what the first half was on that game? Six? Yeah,
Speaker 1: not enough Alabama tennan oh. One other thing I want
Speaker 1: to point out before we get into this Monday night
Speaker 1: game from Estadio Astecca Aztec Stadium, Mexico City between the
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Rams, which has been circled on everybody's
Speaker 1: schedule for the entire year. But I want to point
Speaker 1: out my buddy Las Vegas Chris Uh Professional Better here
Speaker 1: in town, has been on my podcast many times, actually
Speaker 1: been here in studio with me on visa Las Vegas,
Speaker 1: Chris Professional Better. If Chris doesn't know him putting up
Speaker 1: his here, but I thought it was a great tweet
Speaker 1: because Chris is my kind of better. He's honest, and
Speaker 1: I love that this show is honest. When we lose,
Speaker 1: we tell you we lose, and we tell you when
Speaker 1: we're we're idiots, and we we tell you when we're lucky,
Speaker 1: we tell you you know, we're we're humble about our betting.
Speaker 1: Chris is in Last Man Standing National Football, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, he's one last man standing before. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you wanted in the NFL or college though,
Speaker 1: so I don't know off hand, but he's won that contest,
Speaker 1: one of those versions of that contest before. But he's
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and he and his partner have one
Speaker 1: bullet left, in other words, one entry left in the
Speaker 1: NFL contest, and he acknowledges on Twitter at Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Cracy goes miracle week for US, considered five games that
Speaker 1: went one in four, but picked the right one. Have
Speaker 1: to get lucky. And I love that tweet because that
Speaker 1: was actually that was last week when this happened. I
Speaker 1: love that tweet because anybody who says that they're just
Speaker 1: good and when they win these contests, it's always them
Speaker 1: like our human brains are weak, where when we do
Speaker 1: well in in handicapping, by the way, the most successful better.
Speaker 1: I know my buddy, he's he does this too. Like
Speaker 1: there's a lot of confirmation bias. When you're right, you
Speaker 1: tend to think it's you. When you're wrong, you're always
Speaker 1: looking for a reason why you're wrong. And I love
Speaker 1: that Chris was so honest right there and saying, hey man,
Speaker 1: I just got but lucky that I picked the one
Speaker 1: game that we got right. There is an element of
Speaker 1: of luck, uh to you know, to to get fortune.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the bottom line, gil uh. And you
Speaker 1: know pros, pros and all that. There were gonna be
Speaker 1: times and there's gonna be times when you say, you
Speaker 1: know what, I lost, but I had the best number.
Speaker 1: That that's another concept that people don't understand. I got beat,
Speaker 1: but yeah, well I had the best number. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: you know you took the best price or you laid
Speaker 1: the best price or the best number. Um, it happens sometimes,
Speaker 1: but there is U don't think for one minute that
Speaker 1: luck does not play a part in in this endeavor.
Speaker 1: I got toun to like one six four, one fifty six,
Speaker 1: whatever that week was in the Last Man Standing NFL,
Speaker 1: I too had a week in there where I just
Speaker 1: happened to pick the one game that I got right.
Speaker 1: That way, Let's do it right here and then we'll
Speaker 1: review it at the end. Let's do it right here,
Speaker 1: horr Casey at the rams. This is that estia in
Speaker 1: Mexico City, Monday night. Jorge, let's flash up the pictures again.
Speaker 1: This is the field in Mexico City. Video. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've seen these pictures. Pro Football Talk put
Speaker 1: these out. Um, that's the field. That's what it looks
Speaker 1: like right now. That's what it looks like right now.
Speaker 1: In fact, that they had concerts at a Monster truck
Speaker 1: show in Mexico City or I don't know, we're looking
Speaker 1: into that. The concert was a compilation concert. It's a
Speaker 1: whole bunch of young pop starters. It was called the Heat.
Speaker 1: It's one of those veny they had multiple young are
Speaker 1: pop artists. Of course this game wasn't on the schedule.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's only a possible Super Bowl previo. Happened
Speaker 1: three days before a soccer match, so the soccer team
Speaker 1: had to play on the field just like this as well.
Speaker 1: By the way, wasn't it James Taylor concert. Let's put
Speaker 1: it that way. These kids are dancing all over this
Speaker 1: at that that's the aerial shot. This is from again
Speaker 1: Alfonso Thermal Views from Space in Spanish. Again we redacted
Speaker 1: the comments here, but in Spanish she said loosely translated
Speaker 1: to what kind of poop? Who is this? Look at
Speaker 1: that stadium? So the NFL concerned enough where they are
Speaker 1: sending people down today to check it out. And according
Speaker 1: to our buddy David here behind the glass. He said
Speaker 1: that both the Rams and the Chiefs have suggested Denver
Speaker 1: as an alternate site. They were denied that request. So
Speaker 1: but but that's my point, like, what are you gonna do.
Speaker 1: You're not moving it at this point. You can't. You can't. Uh.
Speaker 1: Rams coming off the wind over the Seahawks, which we've discussed,
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs coming off the wind over the Cardinals,
Speaker 1: which we've discussed. Tyreek seven for one seventeen two touchdowns. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has the single season Chiefs touchdown re good
Speaker 1: already thirty first touchdown pass with six games yet to
Speaker 1: play in the season. And again, the Chiefs lost their
Speaker 1: first coin toss all season. For those who are coin
Speaker 1: toss fans out there, broke the record of the legendary
Speaker 1: Len Dawson. Mahomes did. Yes people were going to think
Speaker 1: that Len Dawson flipped the coin all those many times
Speaker 1: in a row. No, he was smoking cigarettes between offensive
Speaker 1: Kansas Kansas City forced to start on offense for the
Speaker 1: first time yesterday, the Rams golf Jared Goff two touchdowns
Speaker 1: note pics. He was forced from his home again wildfires
Speaker 1: during the week Todd Gurley sixteen carries, one one hundred
Speaker 1: twenty yards of touchdown three catches for forty, a franchise
Speaker 1: record thirteenth consecutive game for Gurley to get into the
Speaker 1: end zone. Brandon Cooks ten catches for one, but Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup done for the year, went down on touch in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, holding his left knee. Um Sean McVeigh
Speaker 1: initially said, doesn't look good, Jorge confirming, it's the worst
Speaker 1: fear m R I coming back with the m C
Speaker 1: as the m c L or a c L A
Speaker 1: c Rams were penalized ten times for a hundred two
Speaker 1: yards yesterday. That to me, more than anything, is what
Speaker 1: kept the Seahawks in this game. Really bad defensive penalties
Speaker 1: like just stupid plays that extended drives. Dante Fowler, who
Speaker 1: ended up making up for it late with the strip
Speaker 1: sack of Russell Wilson, just a ridiculous one when they
Speaker 1: had gotten the Seahawks off the field, got a personal
Speaker 1: foul penalty. UM So anyway, the Rams, if you could
Speaker 1: just limit the penalties on defense, you'll be all right.
Speaker 1: Aaron McDonald Aaron Donald rather Aaron Donald two and a
Speaker 1: half sacks yesterday for his career high twelve and a
Speaker 1: half already this season. All of that said, we're in
Speaker 1: Mexico City, technically a Rams home game, but we're in
Speaker 1: Mexico City. I want to say it's a pick them,
Speaker 1: but I guess they'll make the Rams. The Rams will
Speaker 1: not be three point favorites. I'll split the difference. I'll
Speaker 1: say it's the Rams one and a half. But honestly,
Speaker 1: isn't this a coin flip Rams two and a half
Speaker 1: on the opener two and a half? I mean, the
Speaker 1: Chief's defense is not I know, people want to bust
Speaker 1: on the Rams defense. The Chiefs defense is probably worse
Speaker 1: than the Rams defense. That's that's that's a first state,
Speaker 1: and that's why the Rams are It's that's more the
Speaker 1: reason than I mean. Both offenses obviously are prolific, right,
Speaker 1: two of the best offenses in the league. But I'll
Speaker 1: get I'll get back to that stat I said about
Speaker 1: the Chiefs though, any their defense, which is, if I
Speaker 1: could find it now that when the opposing team gets
Speaker 1: in the red zone, right, their money to score and
Speaker 1: now you gotta face the Rams. I mean it's you know,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are like, listen, we'll just outscore you because
Speaker 1: they know you know the typically they can right, but
Speaker 1: this is a different this is listen, the Chiefs they
Speaker 1: lost the one game right in New England. This is
Speaker 1: a better This is a better offense overall. I think,
Speaker 1: by the way, that was the Saints defense. They got
Speaker 1: ket kept getting scored on in the in the red zone.
Speaker 1: Not the Chiefs. But yes, we shall see rams By
Speaker 1: two and a half coming back. We'll review them all
Speaker 1: right here on the numbers game of Visa down back
Speaker 1: to a numbers game with your host, Gil Alexander, broadcasting
Speaker 1: live from our Visa in studios in Las Vegas. Kill
Speaker 1: Alexander back on the numbers game. Vinny mali Ulo in
Speaker 1: for Christie Andrews here on this guessing lines. Let's review him, Vinny.
Speaker 1: Shall we go right from the top Thursday night. Nothing there,
Speaker 1: nothing on that first l Seahawks two and a half, right,
Speaker 1: next three, got Bengals three. Uh, well, we'll see you
Speaker 1: said three. We'll have to wait and see about Joe.
Speaker 1: F for Flacco, j for Jackson. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: next page. Here, go to Atlanta. Okay, sorry, look at
Speaker 1: these Pittsburgh Steelers at Jaguars. That's the game that was
Speaker 1: flexed out. That's a bit of a difference. That's a one.
Speaker 1: Boy said Pittsburgh minus four and a half. You said
Speaker 1: it was Pittsburgh minus five and a half. Okay, Colts
Speaker 1: off the three. That's something. I guess Colts minus three
Speaker 1: of Colts minus two and a half hosting the Titans.
Speaker 1: Um next page, look at that New Orleans. I said
Speaker 1: minus seven hosting the Eagles. You say it's minus seven
Speaker 1: and a half. My goodness, how far the Eagles have sunk,
Speaker 1: especially after last night seven and a half. Wow, and
Speaker 1: then finally the Monday night game at Mexico City Field permitting.
Speaker 1: I said the Rams minus one and a half against
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. You say it's Rams minus two and a half.
Speaker 1: They're doing with that um as you know, by the way,
Speaker 1: as you may know listening Vinnian for Chrissy, our good friend,
