00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 1: on calming down the kids who probably are still tearing

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: through Halloween candy. And now we're home for a three

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: day weekend. We have a monster weekend ahead. Soccer playoffs

8
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: begin out here in southern California. My son obviously I

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: told you the story about the play in game, and

10
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,160
Speaker 1: he had the game time goal with four minutes left

11
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: to force overtie. Incredible start. We'll see if it carries

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: over to the weekend. But so big weekend ahead of

13
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: NFL gambling, we got a little college football to talk about. Yes,

14
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about Texas and TCU for the guy

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: who asked me on Instagram. Yes, we will address that.

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: And to start it off, we got a good guest,

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Lang. Do you know the name Brandon Lane? You

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: may or may not know the name. He is the

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: character that Matthew McConaughey plays in the movie Too for

20
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: the Money. It's based on Brandon Lange. Now it's very

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: hollywooded up. He talks about that aspect, and I think

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: you guys are going to enjoy it. I'll say. For

23
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: we had a first on the podcast, you know, when

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: we record the interviews. We recorded it yesterday and we

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: do like a little pre pre show talk. Hey, what's up,

26
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna this is what I'm gonna hit you with,

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and like he had a weird audio

28
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: situation and for the first time ever, somebody who had

29
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: never talked to dropped an f you on me. Very interesting.

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: You know, you listen to the guys a character. He's

31
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: a gambler. Um. I think he's part of the degenerate

32
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: nation right as we all are. And he's got some

33
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: good stories. He gives out some picks and I will

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: do obviously at the end of the podcast the picks

35
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: for the week. I did load up on a couple

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: of games. Um, they better hit better than the Raiders

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: did last week. That was a tough one for me.

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: But if you haven't heard of Two for the Money,

39
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe your board this weekend. The games don't

40
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: come through for you on Saturday. In college football, just

41
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: check it out. I'm sure it's on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

42
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: Jeremy Piven has what I think is the funniest line

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,239
Speaker 1: in the movie. So it's this gambling crew. Jeremy Piven

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: Pacino is the boss, and they bring on Macanahi and

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: they have this TV show where they're making you buy

46
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: a service to get their picks. And Jeremy Piven is

47
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: talking about how tough it is to crack the NFL,

48
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: and he goes without my system, You've got a better

49
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: shot of having God show up at your door with

50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: nine strippers, a bag of pure Bolivian cocaine enough fiagrea

51
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: to make head Chuck's head blow up than picking these

52
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: things on your own. A. Piven is in rare form

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: throughout the movie. I love that dude. I don't care

54
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: what he's like in real life. As a actor. Jeremy

55
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: Piven is hilarious. I'm sure listen, I'm sure he's got

56
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: some issues in real life. But um, from Ari Gold

57
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: to his role in Two for the Money is awesome.

58
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Now a quick word on Brandon Lange and again, yes,

59
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get you to watch Two for the Money.

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: It's a movie you've seen many times. It's great, so

61
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Lang in the movie is a former college football

62
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: quarterback who got an injury and then couldn't play in

63
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: the pros and decides to turn into gambling. So he says,

64
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: every quarterback knows the secret. The key to victory is anticipation,

65
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: the ability to see the future and react to it.

66
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: That is what I do, and that is the truth.

67
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: For over one year, I have been picking eighty percent winners.

68
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: Is that unbelievable. I know the league's I know the teams,

69
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: I know the players, I know this wonderful game called football.

70
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: Called the number on the bottom of the screen and

71
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: ask for John, Let's make some money winners. You love it,

72
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: you love eighty percent winners, Guys, Come on, that's not realistic?

73
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: All right, real quick? Before we get to Brandon Lange,

74
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: should we even address the Falcons Panthers game. I mean,

75
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: listen under forty two and a half cash, thank goodness.

76
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean p J. Walker tried to throw a pick

77
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: six in the waning moments um to get it to

78
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: give Atlanta touchdown and make it interesting, but ultimately it

79
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: did not end interesting. Marcus Mariota was awful. I'm surprised

80
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: we did not see Desmond Ritter. I started Court Patterson

81
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: and fantasy he did nothing. I saw a bunch of

82
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: people online saying Court Patterson over seven and a half

83
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: receiving yards. That's easy money. Court Patterson had one catch,

84
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: one target, two yards. I mean this, Atlanta. This was

85
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: a tough watch. Now it was played in the rain,

86
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: which is why I pad the under I was leaning Falcons.

87
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad I didn't take them. This offense looked atrocious

88
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: and they could not and the defense could not stop

89
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: Deonta Foreman, who also in my fantasy lineup and my

90
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: son's thirty one carries Buck thirty and a Tuddy listen

91
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: for Foreman looked very good. And I was not all

92
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: that familiar with Marquis Haynes. He had two sacks, two

93
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: tackles for loss. I don't know this guy, but he

94
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: looked pretty damn good defensive end. Fourth year guy out

95
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: of Old Miss came into the game with zero sacks

96
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 1: and just dominated the Falcon's offensive line. Ultimately, this hurts

97
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: Panthers fans because now you have three wins. You could

98
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: just rue it's gonna be very difficult for them to

99
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: get the number one pick in the draft. Although you

100
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: could argue, is there a clear cut number one at

101
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: this point? Now the process will be difficult. I did

102
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: a mock draft for Fox Sports recently. I had stroud

103
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: up top. We had Bruce Felman on yesterday. He said

104
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: stroud Um had the edge over Bryce Young because of

105
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: his size. I'd keep an eye on Will levi Us.

106
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you take hell Hendon Hooker that high.

107
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: I like Hendon Hooker, and it could be one of

108
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: those situations where you know the top guys don't end

109
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: up being the best quarterback. That happens way more often

110
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 1: than you think. One day we'll break him down. But

111
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: Falcons with the loss, I still think this division is

112
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: Tampa's um. New Orleans has a shot. I don't think

113
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: they win this weekend, though, and that kills him because

114
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: I have Tampa beating Seattle and not a game I'm betting.

115
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 1: Because Seattle is just killing me the season. I can't

116
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: stand the Seahawks. I beat him a couple of times,

117
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: but they just every I mean, I'm going against him

118
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of the time, and I

119
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: know they've been a cash cow for some Congratulations to

120
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: you guys, but just Seattle is just too too tough

121
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: of a nut to not to crack for me. All right,

122
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: let's get to our guest. Brandon Lane, the guy who

123
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: the character for Matthew McConaughey played in Two for the Money.

124
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: Jason likes to think he knows everything when it comes

125
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: to sports. I know what sports stance want, but for

126
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: everything he doesn't, he knows a guy who does. Let's

127
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: just say I know a guy who knows a guy

128
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: who knows another guy. All right, let's welcome into straight fire.

Speaker 1: You know, on Fridays, what we like to do is

130
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,920

Speaker 1: the NFL lines. Occasionally we'll do some college football. But

00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: and went to the game sixty seventh six. Now the

175
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: back story that they didn't tell me that had both

176
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: these knuckleheads told me, I'd have gone in the safe

177
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: and went all over town and that everything I owned.

178
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: The coach of Bellaman is Scott Mahoney, coach Ballard High

179
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: School in Louisville. One A state championship was on Denny

180
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: Crumbs staff at Louisville, was on Rick Potino's staff and

181
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: was Rick Pettino's number one assistant. Never got considered for

182
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: the head coaching job all the time it's been and Atville,

183
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: the guys a Beach took Bellaman to the Division one

184
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: level last year. They won their conference tournament, but weren't

185
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: allowed to play in the NT double A tournament. This

186
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: game was so personal to and with Bellaman gotten three

187
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: starters back plus some transfers they can play. That was

188
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: the backstory, and he didn't He didn't give you any

189
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: of that intel. H Wow, that's a great back story.

190
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: I am yeah, I just I just went on it

191
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: based on the fact that again it's not inside information.

192
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: What it is is that in the city of Louisville,

193
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: among that inner circle of people, that was information to that.

194
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: It just so happens with my affiliation that I've done

195
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: his show every Friday morning at nine o five for

196
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: twelve years. He's like, let me call my boy be

197
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: laying he's in Vegas. He'll be able to go better.

198
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: That's the only That's the only way I would have

199
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: ever known about that. I never would have known about

200
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: Bellaman in Louisville. And that's the great thing about about

201
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: you know, just gambling and information and doing radio shows.

202
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: And even with that information, you're still a little bit

203
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: hesitant to snap the rubber band on it because she

204
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: had never know. So the good day I went in there.

205
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: Both both managers came out at nine thirty last night

206
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: when I catched my ticket and this pretty heppy ticket night,

207
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: they go nice win. I said, thanks, guys, I appreciate it,

208
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: and you could see they wanted to ask me like

209
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: I Probably me and my buddy Dan were probably the

210
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: only two people that Bellerman yesterday. It was getting it

211
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: was an eight or eight and a half opened at twelve,

212
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 1: went down to eight and a half because half the

213
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: city of Louisa was vetting it. So, um, it's been

214
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: a good day. Um, I don't really like anything in

215
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: college basketball my best sports. Yeah, college basketball just getting started. Yep.

216
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: You had another game Monday night. You had Florida Gulf Coast,

217
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: which is being coached by Patch Chambers, who was who

218
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: was Jay Wright's number one assistant, went to Penn State,

219
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: put them on the mat and then some stuff happened.

220
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 1: He got fired. He's now resurfaced the Florida Gulf Coast

221
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: put together a squad. They were going into USC as

222
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: an eighteen and a half point road underdog. That's where

223
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: Andy ed Fields head coached before to floor the golf

224
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: coach in sweet sixteen, which parlayed into the USC job.

225
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't going to run it up on his old school. Well,

226
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: forget running it up. They lost an eighteen. Yeah, they

227
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: lost outright by thirteen. So I love college hope. It's

228
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: my best sport. It's my favorite sport. N C Double

229
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: A tournament last year Tennant two um roade St. Peter's

230
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: all the way until they got lasted to North Carolina

231
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: was on the other side. I love college Hope. So um,

232
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: anytime you want to talk college Tube. But you know,

233
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: funny you mentioned Andy Endfield. So he lives around the

234
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: corner for me, and he coaches summer basketball for I

235
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: guess they were rising sixth graders and my son was

236
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: on his team. Uh, so he's coaching him this summer. Yeah,

237
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: I had a couple of good players. And he's the

238
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: nicest guy. And he has a practice at his house

239
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: and the guy's got this baller house, basketball court pool

240
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: in the backyard. He is the nicest guy, and I'm like,

241
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: how's the team looking this year? He's so optimistic. You know,

242
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: they got the big kid Johnny right who's off him

243
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: and they go out in the opener and get destroyed.

244
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: That was a stunning loss. But what before we get

245
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: to NFL, Brandon, who do you you have any futures

246
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: bets college college basketball to win the title. No, that's

247
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: the one thing that I don't get into his futures.

248
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm so at you know, at Brandon Lang dot com.

249
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: I'm so today, Tomorrow, Saturday Sunday. I'm I'm having probably

250
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: one of my best seasons ever. I'm nineteen and four,

251
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 1: my last twenty three in football. I'm eighteen and six

252
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: in college football. For the year, I've won seven of

253
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: the last eight Saturdays. Last Saturday, Notre Dame was my

254
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: best bet. I thought Clemson's they operrated all year, and

255
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: also like Louisville this best Saturday plus seven and app

256
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: over Clemson. Um, it's just been a dream year. So

257
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm just focused on day by day watching college basketball

258
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: real closely. Value the first three or four weeks you're

259
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 1: gonna find and and just keep grinding it out. Man,

260
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: It's uh It's an exciting time for me right now

261
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: out with both college football, college basketball and in NFL football.

262
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: I don't touch NBA regular season just to that party

265
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: the way in the NBA to of the playoffs. So

266
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: for me, it's it's Howard too couge football in NFL.

267
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: So Brandon, A lot of people have seen Two for

268
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: the Money with Matthew McConaughey. I uh, you know, your

269
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: story is well documented, but I got a start here.

270
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: How much of it is real? And by real, I

271
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: mean I don't believe you played college football, but you

272
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: were a young athlete right basketball in high school. Yeah. So,

273
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: so I got in the best shape of my life

274
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: in and I was average in thirties seven a league,

275
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: thirty seven a night in the Winter League in Vegas.

276
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: I played against Larry Johnson, Stacy Agman. I played with

277
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: those guys at the Sporting House, which unfortunately now Sapphire

278
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: Script Bar, but the Sporting House was replaced to Go

279
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 1: and Jerry Cart Tartain and got busted for some violations.

280
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: One of them was free memberships at the sporting house,

281
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: where his guys who had just walked down there walk

282
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 1: into the gym and play because the runs down there

283
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: were absolutely incredible. So in a winter league, I was

284
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: averaging thirty seven a game. And I was playing pick

Speaker 1: down like three straight times and we're done. And long

288
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: story short, he said, man, we're just play a college ball.

289
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,239
Speaker 1: I said, I did, And I joined the Navy and

290
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: I was offered a scholarship to go to Naval Academy,

291
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: but I didn't want to commit six years of my life.

292
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: And I said, I just just ket myself in great

293
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: shape and just playing. And I'm funny goes. We could

294
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: use a guy like you. You're not gonna play. You

295
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: won't see it at the playing time, but we need guy,

296
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: a guy in practice like you, who was older, mature,

297
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: who doesn't back down. He should you should come walk on,

Speaker 1: do you think? And he starts howling and he goes,

307
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: I liked this kid, He said, I'll tell you what.

308
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: You go through a preconditioning program in September. You get

309
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: through those four weeks, I'll let you walk on a

310
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: satar front up. I see in September, said Keith. I

311
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: see at the pointing asked, walked out. Two weeks later

312
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: blew out my knee. And then five months later I

313
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: was off with the job to go to work for

314
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: the Matino character. And I said, you know what, some

315
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: things in life were meant to be. And the funny

316
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: thing is that when Matt decided to play me, we

317
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: took him to a playground and I had a football

318
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: in my trunk and I had a basketball in my trunk,

319
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: and I said, Matt here and I kicked the basketball

320
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: too many shot of basketball that boy can't play dead

321
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: in the Western Oh boy, that's just that ain't gonna happen.

322
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: So I imagine to throw the football, and I threw

323
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: the football to him, nice tight spiral. I looked at

324
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: Dan gilfor the writer who's married Renivery Soon. I said, Dan,

325
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: this thing is gonna take place during the football season.

326
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: He said yep, and said that's what we were made

327
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: in the college. So's other than that we switched it

328
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: from basketball to football. But true, I didn't turn to

329
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: the hooker away when she came now and there wasn't one,

330
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: there was two. Um, that's true. I never. I never

331
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: um lad Gino characters think I slept with his wife,

332
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: although his wife was pretty hideous. If she had been

333
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: half Asian poodle, I would have tagged it half Asian

334
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: and Rothweiler, I'd have tagged it. But she was She

335
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: looked like a blonde hair version of olive oil from Popeye.

336
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: So that didn't happen. But um, for the most part,

337
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 1: it's pretty true to form about just going there and

338
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: went in and the craziness that that that went on. Nice. Now,

339
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: let's pivot to the current day. Gambling is popping everywhere.

340
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: What twenty mod states have it legalized. Have you seen

341
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: a big change being in Vegas? In what's happening in Vegas?

342
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: I see these guys put out every month. The largest

343
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: handle in Vegas is slowly desliding on the list. New York, UM,

344
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: multiple State, Pennsylvania, Jersey, They're all passing Vegas. What are

345
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 1: you seeing on the front line there? It's people are

346
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 1: still coming here to Vegas and Vegas people are still

347
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: gonna come from March Madness, super Bowl. People are still

348
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: gonna come here and bet um, They're still gonna come

349
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: here and enjoy their weekends. I mean, Vegas is still Vegas.

350
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: Um handle maybe down a little bit, I get it,

351
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, people are still

352
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: coming here. The town is absolutely booming, I mean booming,

353
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: booming more than I've ever seen it. And for me,

354
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: with gambling being legal, it's it's boosted my business big time. Granted,

355
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: it comes down to one thing, and one thing only,

356
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: your ability to win consistently. Because guys will give you

357
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 1: a couple of days. You cannot go in my business

358
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: with a with the e commerce website where guys who

359
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: are buying picks from you, you can't go on a

360
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: three day losing street. There's too many it's too competitive

361
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: out there with people pushing their product. So you you

362
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: need to win. And I've always said this for years.

363
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: You can lose, but it better be the quality of

364
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: your losses. If you've is three days in a row

365
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: and you're giving out a three point favorite that loses

366
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: by three touchdowns, and the next day you're giving out

367
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: a seven point favorite loses out right the next day,

368
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: That's why nine of every game I release is an underdog.

369
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: Why because the value in the line is with the dog,

370
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: not the favorite. And when I give classes and seminars,

371
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: I always tell guys, when you handicap the game, you

372
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: start with the underdog. You make a case for the underdog.

373
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: You try to talk to yourself into the underdog before

374
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: you work for the favorite. Why because if you start

375
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: with the favorite, the favorites favorite for a reason, you'll

376
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: be hard pressed to get to the dog. You'll convince

377
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: yourself the favorites to the right side. Start with the dog,

378
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: make a case for the dog. You'll start seeing more dogs,

379
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: You'll start winning more dogs. Fox Sports Radio has the

00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 1: maybe maybe like Green Bay who took some money we're

386
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: recording this Thursday, took some money earlier today went down

387
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: from five to four and a half. It talked me

388
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: into a dog. Sell the audience on an underdog this weekend,

389
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: and weekeen, we touched on it. Aaron Rodgers nine and

390
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: one straight up against the spread in his NFL career

391
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: in games when he scored ten points or less in

392
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: his previous game, and if it's a game, it's a

393
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: non division game, he's four oh straight up and against

394
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: the spread. So I get it. There's numbers that favorite Dallas.

395
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I just I

396
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: just think the right side of the game is Green

397
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: Bay as a home dog. The dog I love more

398
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: than life itself. Cleveland Browns plus the points of the

399
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, they're getting three and a half. I've I've

400
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 1: told people for years. When you're in the NFL and

401
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: you can do one thing really really well, and that's

402
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: run the football, you're a hard team to be in

403
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns have the number one rush offense in

404
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: the NFL. And if you look at the Cleveland Browns

405
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: and you look at their schedule this year and you

406
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: look how they've played, they are literally and I do

407
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: not say this with with with a boastful statement of exaggeration,

408
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: they literally can be seven and one. They had one

409
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: game where they're blown out in New England thirty eight,

410
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: fifth team, but they turned the ball over four times.

411
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: Other than that, checked their losses out. Okay, I remember

412
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: the Jets one that was a great because this, yeah, yeah,

413
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: this is one of the reasons why I had Cincinnati

414
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 1: on Monday night. I'm sorry, Cleveland Monta Cincinnati plus three. Okay,

415
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: their losses one point loss to the Jets in the

416
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: game they had won, the three point loss in Atlanta,

417
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: they gave away, the two point loss against the Chargers.

418
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: They gave away and the Ravens. It was and they

419
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: just completed a first down down to the Ravens thirty one.

420
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: They were gonna kick a tian field goal, and they

421
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: had a holding kindly backed them up and the field

422
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: goal became a sixty one yarder and I was partially blocked.

423
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: So they were in that game, so break here or there.

424
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: We're talking about the seven and one Cleveland Browns. And

425
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: if you can't stop the run in Miami's defense, can't

426
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: stop anybody right out. They didn't stop the Lions, they

427
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: didn't stop the Bears. Now they're coming back home against

428
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: this Cleveland defense. It's playing lights out. The defensive front

429
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: is planned lights out, and they can run the football.

430
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: Cleveland is a very live dog. Yeah, what about what

431
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: do you make a Seattle They have killed me often

432
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: this season. Um, they are catching points in Germany. I

433
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: don't know if you want to break down the travel

434
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: scenario for each side or what to make of Geno

435
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: Smith or Tom Brady. Um, yeah, I'm avoiding this game,

436
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: but maybe you could talk to me and not anybody

437
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: but Seattle, like I can't bet that team. No, I'm

438
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm leaving that game. I don't touch the London games,

439
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: and I don't touch touched the games or the first

440
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: center in Germany, but I don't touch days across the

441
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: pond games. I just just just too many intangibles and

442
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: too many, too many variables that that are out there.

443
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: There's more value that we're staring at right here in

444
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: front of us um Tennessee. I think Tennessee so much

445
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: better than people think they have. The Chiefs beat with

446
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: a I can string rookie quarterback Denver struggles against the

447
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 1: run twenty first and the NFL stopping the run, and

448
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: its he's minus two and a half. Everybody's like, let

449
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 1: Russ cook. That's how I check. The only thing Russe's

450
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: cooking scrap. Russell ain't cooking nothing, Okay that right now?

451
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: So I had been looking at I had been looking

452
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: at Denver. There Tennessee on the field for ninety one

453
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: plays defensively last week against the homes. Your pro athletes,

454
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: your pro athletes. I mean, I'm not a pro athlete.

455
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: But I also I'm not selling Russ at this at

456
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: this rock bottom. I mean, I don't trust Hacket at all.

457
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: Rabel Verse Hackett is a mismatch. But I just Web

458
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: as a dog is great. Right. You mentioned Raybell? What

459
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: was he? They were getting thirteen fourteen last week with

460
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback. But it's a favorite different animal. Listen,

461
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: you're just asking Tennessee to win the game at mince

462
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: two and a half. I don't trust I don't trust

463
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: Denver offensively, so um, but my best bet of the

464
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: weekend is Cleveland question points over Miami. Yeah, I'm with

465
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: you on that. I like Cleveland. How about is there

466
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: anyone you could talk yourself into Houston? Since you said

467
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: you would like starting with the dogs, they're getting a

468
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: little bit of money. I guess the receivers are actually

469
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: showing up and playing this week. Cooks and Nico Collins.

470
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if that matters. They covered against the

471
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: Eagles without them, But New York Giants in a different

472
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: spot here actually favored. They've been underdogs and thrived. Danny

473
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: Dimes at home has struggled a bit. Your thoughts. Love

474
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: E Smith, good old love Ee Smith career record is

475
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: a dog of more than five points, seven and seventeen

476
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: against the spread. And if Lovey is coming off a

477
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,679
Speaker 1: loss of eight or more points and he's getting five

478
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: or more points and then know against the spread. I

479
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: have said for years, you take the Giants as an underdog,

480
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: you go against him as a favorite. If you stick

481
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: with that principle, you're gonna win more than he lose.

482
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: I likes a dog that I think a lot of

483
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: people are gonna avoid. It's the Sunday night game. The

484
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: Niners favored by a touchdown, I would assume this probably

485
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: goes up to seven and a half. I don't think that.

486
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: I mean, at that point, you know the big money

487
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: will come in on the Chargers. But can you make

488
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: a case for Justin Herbert with no Keenan Allen, no

489
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. Sounds like the right tackles out. Um. You know,

490
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 1: I just don't know what they have offensively against arrested

491
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: forty or defense off the by getting healthier UM on

492
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: the defensive line end in the secondary. Yeah, I'm glad.

493
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna need this game. I mean, grant charges

494
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: are charges of the four willet spread in the road

495
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: this year cover every road game. Um. But if Allen

496
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: and Williams both have been announced out at this point,

497
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: they have not been announced, but it doesn't they're not

498
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: practicing yet, and there's just there's almost no chance to

499
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: both of them play if both of them are out.

500
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: I like the Niners in the game. If one of

501
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: the two play, I'd take the points. With the Chargers,

502
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: they just they hang around. They hung around a casey.

503
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: They got to win at Cleveland, they got to win

504
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: last week in Atlanta. They just They're a tough team

505
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: to blow out because they can run it and throw it. Um,

506
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: I know you mentioned some trends earlier. Kyle Shanahan is

507
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: a dog versus is a favorite? Does that kind of stuff?

508
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: How much does that play into your handicap? Well, Kyle

509
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: Shanahan actually in this game has some pretty good numbers,

510
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,959
Speaker 1: as does Jimmy Garoppolo. Jimmy garoppolos twelve and four against

511
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: the spread at home basing the team coming off the win,

512
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: and if that team is a winning team, he's seven

513
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: and oh against the spread. So you also take into

514
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: account that Shanahan is sixteen and six against the spread

515
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: and home games when both teams come in awful win.

516
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: So the numbers tell you the right side of the game,

517
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 1: and the charges are one and six against the spread

518
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: last seven Sunday night games. There you go. Um, I

519
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: want to quickly look at Arizona and the Rams. This is,

520
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: you know, Cliff Kingsbury and Kyler Murray not really on

521
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: the same page. Kyler Mr. Day of practice. He's really

522
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: struggled against the Rams. Kingsbury has gotten murdered by McVeigh.

523
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,479
Speaker 1: And the interesting one is Matt Stafford strangely popped up

524
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: with a concussion. I had speculated earlier that that could

525
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: be McVeigh covering up maybe the elbow and the lack

526
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: of protection and just the overall awfulness of the Rams

527
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: and Stafford. But this line's gone down. Rams are now

528
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: one and a half, the totals crept down to forty

529
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: and a half. Anything here on this one. You could

530
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: give me the final score this game today. If if

531
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: I went to bed tonight and I woke up at

532
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: three am and there's this glowing white presence in my

533
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: room and it's God, and he wasps me up in

534
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: the hands in his high school glass eliminated, and he says,

535
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: my son, I'm going to give you the final score

536
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: of Arizona Rams, I would look at God and I'm sorry.

537
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: I can't win this game. If game in the final scoring,

538
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: I don't trust yet, so I'm not gonna bet the game.

539
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: I lost every Arizona Ran game that I've touched in

540
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: the last four years, so I'm not touching this game.

541
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: If you gave me a million dollars, and so Beline,

542
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: go bet the game, baby, to keep the winnings. Um,

543
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: keep your money. Yeah, some of these divisional matchups are tough,

544
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: all right. We could wrap up on this from Brandon.

545
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: So the Raiders, who have a lot of issues, they

546
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 1: killed me last week. I was on on myself seventeen nothing.

547
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: I felt great. Then they end up choking to the Colts.

548
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to the Jags now they faced the cold too,

549
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: just fired their coach and brought in a guy from

550
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: the ESPN's studio shows, Jeff Saturday to actually coach them.

551
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,199
Speaker 1: Sounds like Jonathan Taylor's back. I wanted to take the Raiders,

552
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: but I don't know that I could lose with them again.

553
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: And I don't know that McDaniels would be coaching next

554
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: week if he loses to Jeff Saturday at home. Wow,

555
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: when shows you what I've been doing. I just moved

556
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: into my new house in Vegas and I've just been

557
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: getting everything organized. Frank right got fired. Yeah, that was

558
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: I think Monday or Tuesday. Oh my god. What's funny

559
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: is I just called Jim Ercay, the owner of the

560
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: colds All the secretary Heather Um when I was networking

561
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: the movie. So the reason how I got two for

562
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: the money made was I took a job at the

563
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: golf course in l A. At the caddy were producers,

564
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: writers and directors played golf. I'm figured you out, what

565
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 1: I'll caddy for one of these guys pitching my idea.

566
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: They'll love it. They'll close it too for the money.

567
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: And sure enough, caddy for daguil Or, a screenwriter pitching

568
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: my idea. He loved the two for the money. But

569
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 1: I stayed on taddy at Rivia for the next three

570
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: or four years, living in Manhattan Beach, living the life

571
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: because Dan wasn't ready to work on the script. So

572
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: some of my regulars at Rivera Country Club were Sylvester

573
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: Sloane and Mark Wahlberg and Jim or say Owner the Cold.

574
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: So anytime I've wanted tickets to any Cold scheme anywhere

575
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: where the culture playing, I just called Heather at Jim's

576
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: office to say high Strand and she's like, high Rand'm like,

577
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: can I get two tickets to the Colts Raiders on Sunday?

578
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: And she said yeah, I'll check with Jim and are

579
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: you back. And half hour later she called me back

580
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: and she said, UM, all right, we think it's We'll

581
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: be in your email. Thank you. So I'll be at

582
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday and I believe, just like they

583
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: did when they blew out Houston. I just don't know

584
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: how tight the Colts here. I just don't with Frank

585
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: Wich as their head coach. They were own fourteen on

586
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: third down attempts and last weeks lost to New England. Um, well,

587
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: this quarter, I mean, yeah, So it's a rookie quarterback

588
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: on the road against the Raiders who were blown teams

589
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: out and hadn't played a complete game. Where do you

590
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: want to be? Do you want to be on the

591
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: right side of the game with the Raiders and they

592
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: show up and play the way they're capable of or

593
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: take a shot with rope quarterback on the road. I

594
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: just don't know if you trust her with the quarterback

595
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: on the road. Yeah, they lost badly too. I don't

596
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: know how I missed. I didn't even bet that game.

597
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: I don't know how I with done not taking the Patriots.

598
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: Belichick just annihilates these young quarterbacks every week. Um, all right, Brandon,

599
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 1: So tell us about it's starting a podcast now? I mean, jeez,

Speaker 1: you've got so much going on, the gambling, the podcast

610
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: It's not what he's done last week last night, it's

611
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: what have you done for me lately? Let's go another way.

612
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,239
Speaker 1: It's it's weird. I wonder if Cordell Steward when he,

613
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, kind of says stuff about some of these

614
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: players and coaches, if they are sensitive to the criticism

615
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: and get back to him, because you know, I work

616
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: at FS one and some of these it's come on

617
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: the show and they'll just say whatever. Like Lashawn McCoy

618
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: is awesome, and this guy's a comedia, he's awesome. He

619
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: just shreds Kyler Murray And I said, Lashawn, did you

620
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: ever hear from Kyler? He was like, oh, within forty

621
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: eight hours, people in his circle were like, Yo, Shavy,

622
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: could you ease up on some of these athletes are

623
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: very sensitive. I don't know has Cordell Stewart going off

624
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: the rails or anybody yet? No, because we're talking point

625
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: spreads and who the bet So it's strictly a gambling show.

626
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: And Cordell is doing great and learning point spreads and

627
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: and and he we brought him along from the beginning

628
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: of the season and where he's at now and where

629
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: he was when we first started Week one night and

630
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: day we we are. We are really good together and

631
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: it's a fun show and and it's it's really good.

632
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: I think Cordell was score one in one last week.

633
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: I was born too, So it's um, you gotta have

634
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: Cordell up his Pittsburgh people to see if t J.

635
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: Watts are definitely gonna play It sounds like it. H

636
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: I see some money coming in on the Steelers as

637
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: we record this. UM. I kind of like him against

638
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: the Saints. I don't know, Mike one dog at home.

639
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: T J J wat back um Saints off that Monday

640
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: night loss right to Kenyan Drake and Lamar Jackson. Short

641
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: week injuries all over the st He does like Pittsburgh

642
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: this week. He didn't give that out of one of

643
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: his best bets, so we're inside information game Pittsburgh. Nice

Speaker 1: Before we get to the NFL picks one to O

657
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: thanks to the Thursday Night under Hitting, I wanted to

658
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: briefly talk about Texas and TCU. I got a question,

659
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: how the hell is three lost Texas a touchdown favorite

660
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: at home against undefeated TCU. How does that work? And

661
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: I actually wrote this game up for Fox sports dot Com.

662
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: We do me and a couple other guys right up.

663
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: Some gambling games and it's in Texas. Is interesting. So

664
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: they lose some close games, lost a gut punch, absolute

665
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: gut punch to Alabama. You guys surely remember that they

666
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: lead um Texas Tech most of the way, led by

667
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: I think fourteen and the third quarter blew it. They

668
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: are they were cruising against Oklahoma State. This is the

669
00:33:53,120 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: game that's quacky. Uh leading Oklahoma State seventeen touchdown on

670
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, I mean, and then they blow it.

671
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: And when you're doing research on these games, you know

672
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: you gotta. I look at everything. I noticed in the

673
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: box score one of the craziest lines I've ever seen,

674
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: and I didn't google to see if this was a first.

675
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: So in the Texas Oklahoma State game, Texas had fourteen

676
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 1: penalties for a hundred nineteen yards on the road, and

677
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: I put this on my Instagram stories. Texas fourteen penalties

678
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: hundred nineteen yards Oklahoma State playing at home, zero penalties

679
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: zero yards. Now that's one of those where it's like, geez,

680
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: I gotta investigate the referees. I mean, Texas blowing a

681
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: late lead, a lot of questionable whistles, not one penalty

682
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: in sixty minutes on Oklahoma State, fourteen on Texas Little sauce.

683
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: Bottom line is Texas is a very good team with

684
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: a very good quarterback in Queen Yours, and they've lost

685
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: some very tough games. They lost Alabama by one on

686
00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: a field goal at the horn or practically at the horn. TCU,

687
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: by the way, has faced I think three backup quarterbacks

688
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: due to injuries in a quirk. They just have gotten

689
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: lucky having to face backup quarterbacks their non conference schedule.

690
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what Tarlatan is. Do you?

691
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: Are you guys familiar with Tarlatans? They whooped up on them.

692
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,359
Speaker 1: They do have nice wins. Listen, not gonna take anything

693
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: away from TCU. I got a buddy who was a

694
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 1: boot pitched at TCU and I played pick up hoops

695
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: with them. Super nice guy, lives out here near me. Um.

696
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 1: They got a nice win over Oclhoma State, crazy good comeback.

697
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: They beat Kansas with Kansas is good. They beat Oklahoma

698
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma was good. Kansas State's a nice win. I

699
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: think their luck runs out here. And if you go

700
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: to any of these metrics yards per play, uh net

701
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: yards per play, A pro football focus has some deep

702
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: dives on analytics. Nobody considers TCU a top ten team

703
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: in the country, barely top fifteen. They do not hold

704
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: up in the stack category. They've gotten very fortunate this year.

705
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: But you know what, you can only play who's in

706
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: front of your quarterbacks get hurt. Quarterbacks get hurt. And

707
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 1: the thing is TCU if they pull off this win,

708
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they win. But I took the seven.

709
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: That's just too much for me. Texas struggles to win

710
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: with margin because their defense stinks. I listen, I don't.

711
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: It's not a big play for me, but I took

712
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 1: the seven with TCU. Uh. If you listen back to

713
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: the Thursday pod with Bruce Felman, we had some interesting

714
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: stuff on their quarterback, Max stugan nice player, probably a pro.

715
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's an early round pick, but

716
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: he's got moxie if you will, and I think they

717
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: can um keep it close enough. I do think Texas wins.

718
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: But if you're asking me what's the play here, UM,

719
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: I would take the point, take the touchdown with the

720
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 1: horned frogs. I will be interested to see if Saturday

721
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: morning this comes off the seven one way or the other.

722
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: You can assume that a lot of the pro bettors

723
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 1: are going to be all over Texas, which is why

724
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: they set the line at seven. All right, let's get

725
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: to the NFL card and I last weekend was good.

726
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: The Raider's loss hurt deeply. The Jets victory offset that

727
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: I did not have the Jets, but as a Jets fan,

728
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,800
Speaker 1: sometimes big wins like that. And also the Bills losing helped.

729
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: If you're a survivor, Oh my gosh, everybody had the

730
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: bills did I'm sure you guys read that story. There

731
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: was a dude in the in the Vegas Um circa

732
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: survivor contest who had six entries. Now I know the contest.

733
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: I'm in his Bucks center. I think the survivor is

734
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: a thousand six entry. So he had basically six thousand

735
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: dollars and he loaded it every entry on the Buffalo Bills,

736
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: all six and he's done. That's brutal, I feel. Now

737
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: we've we talked Survivor on here often for all the

738
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: new people, and there are a bunch of new people

739
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: drop it into the podcast, I guess mostly thanks to

740
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: the Herd, but we talked about Survivor often, and one

741
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: of my number one things is, you know, keep it

742
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: simple early in the season and be never ever take

743
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 1: the same team if you have multiple entries, that is

744
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: certain death. I mean, the Minnesota Vikings almost screwed me

745
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: a couple of times when I did that when I

746
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 1: in my younger years. But I don't know, that's just

747
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 1: brutal for the guy. Would never, you know, tell him that,

748
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: But I just feel awful for the kid at any rate.

749
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 1: Let's get to the picks, alright. So I have laid

750
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: the lumber, and I'm sure I'm gonna regret this. With

751
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 1: Ketty Pickett at home, Mike Tomlin a short underdog off

752
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: the by got t J. Watt practicing, no telling if

753
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: he's gonna go or not. On the off chance he does,

754
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: I just this is gonna be an absolute nightmare for

755
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. Now this game is not being played at night,

756
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: which is good news for Dalton because we know in

757
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: primetime he is terrible. But this is a Saint's team

758
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 1: that just can't get can't get on track, they can't

759
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: get consistent. They are now leaving a dome and going outdoors.

760
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: Temperatures don't look like it's going to be warm there,

761
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 1: and I don't know that the running game of New

762
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: Orleans is going to have a lot of impact in

763
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh against this defense that's adding healthier thanks to the

764
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: bye week. I like Pittsburgh to win. I think it's

765
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: a good spot for Tomlin. I have said that if

766
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: I were the Steelers, I would probably look into tanking. That's,

767
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 1: of course, is not something Mike Tomlin would ever do

768
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: to get a high draft pick and not rush my

769
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: guys back. But coming off the by I would expect

770
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: the offense to look a little different. No Claypool. I

771
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: think Pickens is gonna be a bigger factor. Uh it

772
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: sounds like it practiced this week. They're working in the

773
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: backup running back because a lot of people are unhappy

774
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: with the kid out of Alabama, Naj Harris. Wild stat

775
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: that Naj Harris has uh so last year he had

776
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: three hundred and seven carries and only four went for

777
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: twenty and more yards. Now, I don't know if that's

778
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: an indictment of the offensive line. Obviously it's bad or Harris,

779
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: who dances a lot. Through nine weeks this season, hundred

780
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: seven carries for Naja Harris, zero carries of twenty plus yards.

781
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: That ain't good. Now is that on Harris or is

782
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: that on the offensive line or is the combination of both,

783
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: which is usually the right answer. So we'll see. I

784
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: would not be surprised if the Steelers came out with

785
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 1: some wrinkles coming off to buy. So Steelers over the Saints,

786
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: I'll pick them out right in that one. I'm passing

787
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: on the game in Munich, Germany. I'll be rooting for

788
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, although my kid has a soccer game at

789
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: eight a m y s eight am on Sunday, so

790
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: I'll be watching on the phone. Although kids soccer, you

791
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: know it takes priority. You guys know me love soccer. Um,

792
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: this one's tough, and I know not a lot of

793
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: people are gonna ride with me, but I am going

794
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: with the Chicago Bears at home. If you can get

795
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: two and a half, awesome, if you get the Bears

796
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: two and a half at home against Detroit. You know

797
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: I wrote this up for Fox Sports. But you look

798
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 1: at Jared Goff's history outside obviously the first thing November Chicago,

799
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 1: check the weather Jared Goff when it's under thirty degrees.

800
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 1: The numbers I saw are zero career wins, zero touchdowns,

801
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 1: five interceptions, Now it's obviously the small stable side. I

802
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: think it's like five or six games. But this is

803
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 1: a California kid. You can insert all the small hands

804
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 1: pre draft talk you want. For whatever reason, cold Weather

805
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,240
Speaker 1: GoF has struggled mightily. The last time he went outdoors

806
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 1: was the New England game. He was terrible. Now, they

807
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: were missing a couple of guys in that one. It's

808
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: it's no there's no telling if st Brown or Swift

809
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: are gonna be back. I just I've I've given up

810
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: trying to know who's coming back and win. They look good,

811
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 1: yes against green Bay, although green Bay was definitely the

812
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: side in that. I mean they moved the ball up

813
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: and down the field. I think they got to the

814
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: red zone three times. Rogers threw two picks in the

815
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: red zone, like you know, that's a game. Detroit was

816
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 1: absolutely lucky to win. And I got a good buddy

817
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: who's Alliance fan and just definitely wants them to um

818
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: um um. He's a regular listener to the pod. I

819
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: know there's gonna be some sharp people picking Detroit here,

820
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: Like what are the Bears doing as favorites? They have

821
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: no no defense. The Lions offensive line should bully them

822
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,680
Speaker 1: and be able to move the football. It's it feels

823
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: like a low scoring game. Money's come in on the under.

824
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: I just I got to give the big edge here

825
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 1: to Justin Fields and this Bears ground game again, Detroit

826
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: is not good at anything. Really. Um, I'm sorry, I'm

827
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: I'm on the Bears here at two and a half.

828
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,360
Speaker 1: I don't like it as much at three. But this

829
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: definitely feels like another one of these twenty seventeen kind

830
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: of finals. Remember there were four games that landed on

831
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen last week, just exemplifying the parody in the NFL.

832
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,600
Speaker 1: This one's gonna be a little tough for the Miami

833
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins fans who are hate listening to me because you

834
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: know I talked shit about two all the time. So

835
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, who are the Bears, are a big winner

836
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: for this podcast. Last week had him in the contest

837
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 1: and everything. They took money against the Dolphins and they covered.

838
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns are going to Miami this week off

839
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: the by Jacoby Brisett. Denzel Wards back. He's kind of

840
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 1: struggling this year, but Denzel Ward is back and they're

841
00:42:55,640 --> 00:43:01,959
Speaker 1: taking money. Browns were five and a half off. It's

842
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: down to three and a half. So if you can,

843
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 1: I mean, if if this goes back to four, great

844
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: three and a half. I still like it at three

845
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: and I have don't love it as much. Remember, Miami's

846
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: offense is gung ho on going for on fourth down.

847
00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 1: Part of the reason the Bears covered was because McDaniel

848
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: kept going on fourth down. Part of the reason the

849
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: Steelers covered another pick on this podcast was on that

850
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 1: Sunday and A A Football games, McDaniel didn't want to kick

851
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: the field goal. He's like, let's go on fourth down,

852
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 1: Let's just go go go. Well, this will be a

853
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 1: much tougher defense than the Chicago Bears. Like the Bears

854
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: put up no resistance. Cleveland has Miles Garrett. I know

855
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: Armstead's playing well tackle, but Jadavean Clowney on the other

856
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: side is expected back. I don't know. I would not

857
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: be shocked if the Cleveland Browns won this game outright.

858
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: We know Miami's defenses and shambles. They cannot stop the

859
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: run at all. The Bears dump truck them. The Jets

860
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,879
Speaker 1: ran all over him a few weeks back. I would

861
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: not be surprised. As a chub Hunt game big time,

862
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 1: as long as Jr. Kobe Pricet doesn't lose it for you.

863
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 1: I think the Brown's cover I I will put a

864
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: little on them to win money line. It's not again,

865
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: It's not a fate of Tua. That Miami defense is atrocious.

866
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 1: It's terrible, and I think Cleveland's got a much better

867
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: defense than anything Miami seen recently. Cleveland's better d is

868
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: better than Pittsburgh's. They're gonna show up here. I like

869
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: the Browns to keep it close. So we talked already

870
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 1: about the Josh Allen Minnesota game. I'm not going to

871
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: get back into it. It's almost looking like that Josh

872
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: Allen is not going to play, has not practiced all week.

873
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 1: I guess if you're asking if I'm betting this at

874
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: three and a half, the answer would be Vikings at three,

875
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: I would I would pass. At two and a half.

876
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: I've got to go case Keenum. I mean, there's a

877
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: scenario here, guys where the Buffalo defense gets all over.

878
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, who by the way, has not looked good

879
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: at all Outdoors stopped me. If you've heard this before

880
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: on the podcast Kirk Cousins Outdoors, you know he just

881
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: continues to get very lucky. He was not good against Washington.

882
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean they're down by ten in the fourth quarter. Again,

883
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 1: that's all they do, is they trail on the fourth

884
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: quarter of all these games, they pull them out. Kirk

885
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: could be rattled by this pressure. You know, Kirk has

886
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: not shone well against pressure. I would assume the Buffalo

887
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: defense is gonna be kind of juiced up after what

888
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: happened to them against the Jets, getting just run over.

889
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 1: But what about Mulano? Is he gonna play? That's kind

890
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: of a fag big factor. One of the best interior

891
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 1: linebacks in the league. Uh, is true? Davious White gounna play?

892
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: Um Poyer what he missed the Jets game? Like this

893
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 1: defense is kind of decimated and you just wonder, like

894
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: that's one of those check the injury reports leading up

895
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: to the game. But for me, I I did get

896
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,479
Speaker 1: Vikings at four. We talked about that earlier this week,

897
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 1: as soon as it was becoming clear that um Josh

898
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: Allen was not gonna play. So we'll see. I'm obviously

899
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: routing Minnesota because the Jets are chasing Buffalo, and if

900
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: Miami loses and Buffalo loses, we could be playing Jets

901
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: Patriots next week for first place the a f C.

902
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: I have bet the Denver broncos. I know you do

903
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 1: not want to hear that on the road in Tennessee.

904
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 1: Denver has now had, you know, the extra week trading

905
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: Bradley chub Um, they had the bye week to shift

906
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: the defense. They've had extra time to prepare for Derrick Henry.

907
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: You know what's coming. But the key here for me

908
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: while I'm on Denver is the Tennessee defense, which was

909
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: not is not good in the first place. Okay, they

910
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 1: did an extremely good job as a big underdog against

911
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 1: Kansas City. They were on the on the field for

912
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 1: nine one place. That is that's absurd, and it was

913
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,560
Speaker 1: a Sunday night game in Kansas City. Now you come home,

914
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 1: defense is gassed. Maybe maliqu willis although Tannehill's back at practice. Listen,

915
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: if if you can get a three, Denver catching three

916
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: on the road. Now, this is this was the lowest

917
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: total of the season I saw at thirty six and

918
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: a half. It's up to thirty seven and a half.

919
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: I think this is you know, six thirteen something along

920
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: those lines. But I like Denver to finally get a

921
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 1: win and listen, Denver's not totally out of the wild

922
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: card mix that I know. They have not looked good

923
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: and Hackett stinks, Hey, you lose this game, maybe you

924
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: just tell Hackett just stay in nash Vegas, hang out there.

925
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: We don't need you. Were done. I'm sorry, but I

926
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:21,839
Speaker 1: had to bet on the team that led us down

927
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: last week. The Raiders led seventeen nothing and then choked

928
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: it away against the Jags. On principle, I had to

929
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: take them against a coach who has never coached in

930
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. He was talking about breaking down games on

931
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: on ESPN last week in one of the real good

932
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: stories about it's not what you know, it's who you know.

933
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday had his elevator pitch with Jim Mercy at

934
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,760
Speaker 1: some Ring of Honor event within the last two weeks,

935
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: and he just blew er say a way says we're

936
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: firing right, We're bringing in Jeff Saturday. So now you

937
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 1: have a coach who last time he saw that spent

938
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: time around the team was in training camp, and now

939
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna come in his The guy he's calling plays,

940
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 1: I've never heard his name in my life. He's probably

941
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: like a quality control guy and it's on the road.

942
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:22,919
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, it's not even a vet

943
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: like Matt Ryan, it's Sam Ellinger. So I'm on principle

944
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: I have to bet the Raiders here. I don't want

945
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: to do it. Trust me. The Raiders are a dumpster fire.

946
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: Darren waller On, I R. Hunter renfroll On, I R.

947
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you saw the defense that

948
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: cut Jonathan Abram this week, who was like their first

949
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: round pick. A couple of years ago, they had a

950
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: they had a linebacker named Blake Martinez. I don't even

951
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: know they had him. This is crazy. He joined the

952
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: team last month, he led them in tackles against the

953
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:55,359
Speaker 1: Jaguars last week, and then he retired. He just said, yeah,

954
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna retire, and then buried in the

955
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: story about Blake Martinez is Blake Martinez is an avid

956
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: Pokemon card collector. Last week he sold uh some Pikachu

957
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: Rare card for six D seventy two dollars. I don't

958
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: know what's going on with the Raiders. They're signing guys

959
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,400
Speaker 1: off the street. Reggie Ragland, remember him, Alabama guy to

960
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: the practice squad. There's a chance Reggie Raglan is gonna

961
00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 1: be playing a lot on Sunday, and Jonathan Taylor is healthy.

962
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 1: So if Jeff Saturday pulls this off, if he goes

963
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: on the road with a backup quarterback, you could, I

964
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: guess a third string because Nick Foles should have been

965
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: the backup. Right and wins this game, Josh McDaniels can

966
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: just pack up and just get out of town. Now.

967
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 1: I still don't think they fire him, But if he

968
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: loses this game, what the hell I mean? Listen, Raiders

969
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 1: defense is really hurting. I just I don't see how

970
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: on earth the Colt stopped Davante Adams. Culture not good.

971
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,919
Speaker 1: Eventually Crosby will make a play. Uh what's Chandler Jones

972
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: has been one of the biggest bus in the league

973
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: half a sack this season, Like it is a train

974
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: wreck for the Raiders. But again, I think we're really

975
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: gonna lose this freaking game, so I had to bet

976
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: up four and a half. Listen, if they lose, at

977
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: least I could just throw my hands up and say

978
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 1: this has never happened before in the history of the sport.

979
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,439
Speaker 1: Someone who has never coached at NFL or college level

980
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 1: comes in just oh yeah, I could coach in the NFL.

981
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: I was on the team with Marvin Harrison. You know,

982
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: I argued with Peyton Manning. I've been around Bill Polian, Yeah,

983
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: through osmosis and being around those guys, I know what

984
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,920
Speaker 1: to do as a coach. This is if if he

985
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: somehow pulls this off, Jeff Saturday, it's kind of an

986
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,960
Speaker 1: embarrassment to the league. Really, It's like this guy could

987
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: come off the street and pick up a w what

988
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: And that's why I think this would be really damaging

989
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 1: to McDaniels, Like, I don't know how you bounce back

990
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:53,520
Speaker 1: from that. Jim Rcy crazy, Jim Rcy. Listen, if Saturday

991
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 1: wins this, you just throw your hands up and tip

992
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 1: your cap, like, Okay, Arizona Rams, I got nothing. Not

993
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:02,240
Speaker 1: with Kyler injured and Afford and jured, Stafford's weirdo concussion story,

994
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit on Chargers. I kind of want to

995
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: take the seven with the Chargers. But nothing about the

996
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: matchup in any way, shape or form says the Chargers

997
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: should be able to hang here. Absolutely nothing. What are

998
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: the forty Niners? Do they run the football really well?

999
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 1: Chargers still stick against the run. What are the Chargers

1000
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 1: gonna do on offense, Jay, Oh, well, they got Ezekiel, Ezekiel,

1001
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 1: they got Austin Ekeler. Great, What are you gonna get

1002
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: him in space against one of the best linebacking course

1003
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: groups in the league? How are they? How are the Chargers, who,

1004
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: by the way, are down their best alignment out for

1005
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 1: the season and now it sounds like they're right tackle

1006
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:47,520
Speaker 1: Pipkins ain't gonna play enter Storm Norton, who was last

1007
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,800
Speaker 1: seen week a team last year, just getting dump trucked

1008
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: by Max Crosby all night. I mean, he was getting

1009
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: uh enter all those like he was getting beat like

1010
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, a screen door on a submarine or whatever.

1011
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: Whatever the jokes are. I think you give up three

1012
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 1: sacks that game? Are you gonna put him up there

1013
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: against Bosa? For real? So like, nothing about this game

1014
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,240
Speaker 1: says Chargers should have a chance except for two things.

1015
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: One it's in prime time and prime time Dogs have

1016
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: been ridiculous this season. The other one is don't really

1017
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: blow teams out, although they did crush Seattle seven. I

1018
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: just I don't know if they're like, let's see if

1019
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel even plays. I know he's back at practice,

1020
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,839
Speaker 1: but I'm just gonna pass on this game. I mean,

1021
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: if you listen, if you're looking for a teaser leg

1022
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 1: and I know the teasers cutting through seven and three

1023
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: have done awful this year. If you notice, I haven't

1024
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 1: talked about teasers a lot this year because the first

1025
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: like four weeks, they kicked me in the teeth. Last

1026
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: year they were a cash cow. Like, honestly, you could

1027
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:50,280
Speaker 1: have bought a new vehicle last year based on teasers.

1028
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 1: That's how easy the money was. This year, they're all

1029
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: screwed up. But if you want one, I would say

1030
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: tease San Francisco down from seven to one. They're definitely

1031
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: not losing the game, right and if you can hold

1032
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: your nose and do it. The Tennessee Titans, they don't

1033
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: have the firepower to blow anybody out. So you take

1034
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: Denver up from two and a half to eight and

1035
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,240
Speaker 1: a half, and then you're like, all right, Ryan Tannehill

1036
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: beat me by it, beat me by more than one score,

1037
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: and I just I don't see that happening. So that

1038
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,959
Speaker 1: that's a really really strong teaser leg. Um. The only

1039
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: other game that I really looked at um and I'm

1040
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 1: thinking about including in the contest, is this Green Bay

1041
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys game. We can wrap up on this because I've

1042
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: rambled long enough. Just like everything says San Francisco against

1043
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: the Chargers, everything here, literally everything says Dallas. Everything. Every

1044
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: everybody talking about this game loves the Cowboys. Nobody likes

1045
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay. You heard what I said, right, Nobody likes

1046
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 1: Green Bay. So what happens when nobody likes them? They cover?

1047
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 1: They go up. But then you're like, well, how, how

1048
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: how the hell is Green Big gonna show up? Well,

1049
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 1: let's see they're down, Romeo Dobbs, Christian Watson. Who the

1050
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 1: hell are they throwing to? I don't really know. How's

1051
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:13,719
Speaker 1: the offensive line, Well, it got roughed up last week

1052
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:17,680
Speaker 1: by the Detroit freaking Lions. Okay, um, how's the defense? Well,

1053
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: their best pass rusher, Rashan Gary, has done for the season.

1054
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 1: Stokes the cornerback out of Georgia, who's very good, he's

1055
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:29,920
Speaker 1: out mm hmm. So weaker defense offense is going to

1056
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: be hampered. How are they winning this game? Winning? Are

1057
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 1: they gonna cover? They can't stop the run? Go look

1058
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:36,760
Speaker 1: at what the Jets did to him on the ground,

1059
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 1: just gashed them. Go look at the New York Giants.

1060
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: What did sake. Kwan Barkley du ran all over him

1061
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,280
Speaker 1: like they can't stop the running. Now you got Zeke

1062
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 1: rested up coming off the by Tony Pollard. Maybe the

1063
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 1: best change of pace back in the league. I love

1064
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 1: me some Tony Pollard got him of my fantasy teams.

1065
00:54:53,560 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: Like and then then the Capper is the McCarthy situation again.

1066
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: I'm around all these former coaches and former g MS,

1067
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: former players, and revenge is a big, big aspect. You

1068
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: can joke and laugh about the revenge narrative. But as

1069
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: I told earlier in this podcast, earlier this week on

1070
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: the podcast about a coach in the NFL who at

1071
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: Fox telling me about a revenge story and how they

1072
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 1: wanted to run it up and the stuff they did

1073
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: during the week, Like I'm not gonna tell the full

1074
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: story again. You can go back and look for it.

1075
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 1: But these guys, they they don't forget. And Mike McCarthy

1076
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: remembers the end in Green Bay. It was ugly. Aaron

1077
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,399
Speaker 1: Rodgers hated him. The Aaron Rodgers can say nice things.

1078
00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 1: Now he's remembering the good. That's great. It's like it's

1079
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: like when you get a divorce, do you remember the end?

1080
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: Remember the good times. McCarthy was run out of town.

1081
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 1: He had to sit out of the league. The only

1082
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: way he got back in the league was he wrote that.

1083
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,800
Speaker 1: Remember he wrote that Big Deck and he like studied

1084
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: analytics and he had to like say all this stuff

1085
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: just to get a job. It's freaking humiliated. This guy

1086
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: want to super Bowl. He had the bye week to

1087
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:06,920
Speaker 1: prepare for this. This is Mike McCarthy super Bowl. Now.

1088
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a particularly great, great coach, but

1089
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 1: if there's one game where he is emptying the playbook

1090
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:18,879
Speaker 1: half back pass, fake pun, fake field goal, nothing would

1091
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:22,160
Speaker 1: surprise me here, absolutely nothing. I'm telling you the story

1092
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:23,799
Speaker 1: I told on the podcast earlier. As we go, look

1093
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: for it. These coaches, they want revenge. And if you

1094
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: don't think McCarthy wants to has had this game circled

1095
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:34,959
Speaker 1: the day the schedule came out, you're wrong. McCarthy wants

1096
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: this game. He wants to stick it to Rogers. I'm

1097
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,319
Speaker 1: sure they'll give him the applause before the game. He's

1098
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 1: not gonna get booed. Guy want a super Bowl there

1099
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 1: and then he wants to go beat their ass. He

1100
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 1: would have nothing more than a thirty four to seven

1101
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: Romp and they dump gatorad on the sideline. You can

1102
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: go look at the quotes that I'm telling you guys,

1103
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 1: go read the local papers. The Cowboys defenders. We want

1104
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:01,480
Speaker 1: this one from McCarthy. So again everything points to Dallas.

1105
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: But you know how crazy this league is. Everything last

1106
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 1: week pointed to Kansas City against Tennessee. They barely won

1107
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 1: the game in overtime. Never came close to covering everything.

1108
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: Last week pointed to Buffalo against the Jets. Zach Wilson.

1109
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: The week before was three interceptions. Come on, everybody was

1110
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: on Buffalo. This league is weird, man. There the one thing,

1111
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 1: and and we've had a lot of gamblers on and

1112
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: you listen, you can win money and you can have

1113
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: all the numbers you want. There is no predictive stat

1114
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: yet in the NFL. There just isn't. It's an oblong

1115
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: pigskin and nobody knows how it's bouncing. I mean except

1116
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: the Eagles, who get every fumble on Planet Earth. Cowboys

1117
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 1: are doing good in that department as well. For instance,

1118
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: fourth down. Guess who's the worst team in the league

1119
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: on fourth down? Cowboys, Sorry, not the Cowboy. The Packers

1120
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:51,640
Speaker 1: dead last in the NFL on on fourth down, guess

1121
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 1: who was number one two years ago? You're right, the Packers.

1122
00:57:55,080 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: These things change, man. There's eventually regression is gonna hit in.

1123
00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 1: The Packers are gonna bounce back? Is that this week?

1124
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, And so I'm a little nervous too,

1125
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, to take the Packers after tax dollars on

1126
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay, after watching what they've done. And this isn't

1127
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: like one fluky week against the lines. It's like five

1128
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: of the last six weeks they looked like garbage. Then again,

1129
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: they did cover for us against the Bills in Buffalo

1130
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: at home. We'll see um, but listen a lot of

1131
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: food for thought. It's been a great week. But he

1132
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 1: enjoyed the weekend. Enjoy the gambling, the fantasy, the whatever

1133
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: else you're doing in November. World Cup is coming, guys,

1134
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: be ready to talk to you soon.
