Those obviously come out on Tuesday mornings 40 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: the next two weeks, led by Action Director of Research 41 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: Evan Abram, so check those out, but just be aware 42 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: it would be a little shorterest these next two weeks. 43 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: And of course we want to thank everyone for listening. 44 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: If you're still here with us sixteen weeks in, we 45 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: appreciate you so on behalf of everyone here at Action Network. 46 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: We wish you your families, your loved ones, everyone you 47 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: care about very happy safe, profitable holiday season, and. 48 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 3: If you are a van, merry Christmas. But let's go 49 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 3: ahead and kick things off with Thursday Night football. 50 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: It's not the best game, but it's the only game tonight. 51 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 3: Let's bet Thursday Night football, all right? 52 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: Saints at the Rams Rams favored by four four and 53 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: a half or some spots to total is forty six. 54 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: I've been fading the Saints hasn't worked out the last 55 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. 56 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 3: Maybe it has something. 57 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: To do with the Giants and Panthers being the couple 58 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: of worst teams in the NFL. 59 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: I don't know, but. 60 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: To me, this is not a spot where you want 61 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: to fade the Saints now they're an underdog. I think 62 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: you want to fade the Saints when their favorite. You know, 63 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: they tend to kind of fall shorter expectations. But now 64 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: you're just taking two mediocre mid NFC playoff hopefuls, and 65 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: one of them is favored by more than a field 66 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: goal on a Thursday. So I would lean Saints here, stuck. 67 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 3: What about you? 68 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hate thy football, but I actually I don't 69 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: think I've had a bet on Thursday football game in 70 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: a while. I'll have a small bet here on these Saints. 71 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 2: I think this should be basically a field goal game. 72 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: Rams just don't profile. I know they covered last week 73 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: because Pattle, but Ron didn't go for two again. I 74 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: lost that total because they missed the extra point. By 75 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 2: the way, so I. 76 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: Kickers, and it's a kickers in Rams games, and now 77 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: you got Yeah. 78 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 2: I thought they were going to go for two and 79 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: I had over forty nine, so I was like, all right, 80 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 2: I'll take my chances with going for the win instead 81 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 2: of the push. And I just figured they were going 82 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 2: to go for two. They didn't, so I was like, 83 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 2: all right, I'll take my push and then it gets blocked. Unbelievable. 84 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: It's like the Rams don't want their kickers to make 85 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: kicks or the mponent kickers to get kicks. 86 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 3: No, nobody makes kicks and Rams games. 87 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: Yeah. 88 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 2: Oh, and the Rams missed the chip shop before then 89 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 2: after missing a lot of them passed. That one was brutal. 90 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 2: But yeah, I like the Saints here, cars playing a 91 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: little better of late. No, it's not been the best competition, 92 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: but I mean the who the Rams. They'll be a 93 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 2: feisty dog and I like them as a dog. Is 94 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 2: the way Stafford's playing and they'll be worth a look 95 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 2: depending on who they get if they get in in 96 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 2: the first round of the NFL playoffs. But their wins 97 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: come over to Seahawks twice, Arizona twice, Washington Cleveland with 98 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 2: all those injuries. Think PJ. Walker finished the game, and 99 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: Indian ot Like that's their wins this year. Their d 100 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 2: is just bad. It's just so void of talent outside 101 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 2: of Donald. The other thing you gotta mention big special 102 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 2: teams advantage. Saint something have an elite speial teams, you know, 103 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: but the Rams Swish teams is just so bad that 104 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 2: they'll lose games because they're special teams. So yeah, I 105 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: think it's too many points. They have the much better defense, 106 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: the better special teams, and the way that they played 107 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 2: defense from a schematic standpoint is how you want to 108 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: face this stafford in this Rams offense. So yeah, I 109 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 2: like the Saints with the points here. 110 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: Any thoughts on the total, it's forty six and a 111 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: half of a lot of spots now keeps going up. 112 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: But it's kind of interesting because we already talked about it. 113 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,599 Speaker 1: Both of these both of these kickers really are liable 114 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: to have missed multiple kicks. Any leans on the total 115 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: or you think it's pretty much. 116 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 2: I make it forty five. Yeah, you could give some miskicks, 117 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: which would certainly lead to increased chances for under back. 118 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: All right, let's get into the week sixteen six packs. 119 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: Thursday for action. 120 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 3: Let's crack open the Sunday six pack for our Week 121 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 3: sixteen six pack. 122 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: Because we got all these games spread out, we still 123 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: won't count the Thursday game that will be out of 124 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: the running for the contest, but we're going to open 125 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: it up to all of the other games because we 126 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: do have three games on Monday, so it's not like 127 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: just a Monday night game, so we'll do those will 128 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: be included. The all the Sunday games, obviously we'll be included. 129 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,799 Speaker 1: Out of the Saturday games as well. 130 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 3: Will be included. 131 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: So for Week sixteen, we're just doing the six pack. 132 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: Will necessarily be the Sunday six pack, just a six pack. 133 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: With that said, stuck where you're going first? 134 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 2: All right, for my first pick of the week sixteen 135 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 2: weekend holiday six pack, I'm going with the Baltimore Ravens 136 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 2: plus five and a half at the San Francisco forty 137 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 2: nine ers. I told you this last week I'm fortunately 138 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 2: going first on such a role that even Sata himself 139 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 2: flew in to see if they were for real, and 140 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 2: on Christmas Day they made believers of even the forty 141 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: nine ers. First of all, hardball as a dog pretty 142 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 2: much anywhere, any place, any time, with anybody at quarterback, 143 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: I'm going to back them. Ravens nineteen and four against 144 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 2: the spread as an underdog since twenty eighteen, Lamar Jackson 145 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: fifteen and one against the spread as an underdog are 146 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: favored of less than a field goal. Lamar Jackson also 147 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 2: nineteen and one straight up against the NFC. I'm sure 148 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 2: you'll see that a lot over the weekend. Part of 149 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 2: that has some validity. A lot of that is a 150 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: you know, they're a lot better than many of the 151 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 2: NFC teams they play. They're not playing a team with 152 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: the Port Niners, who are better than them. But these 153 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: NFC teams are not used to the Lamar Jackson's speed, 154 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 2: and there's kind of a you know, shell shock factor 155 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: early on to adjust to the angles and him creating 156 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: plays with his legs. But there's a couple of things 157 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 2: that I like about this matchup. One, it is early 158 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 2: in the week, but the forty nine Ers could potentially 159 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 2: have some major defensive losses. So last week they played 160 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 2: without Armstead and Hargrave up the front. Their day to 161 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: day Shanahan doesn't know if they're going to play. The 162 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: Cardinals averaged eight yards per rush, so their run defense 163 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: is very vulnerable if one or both of them are out. 164 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: You also had Lenore, their corner has been playing really well. 165 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: He went out with a rib injury. Day to Day 166 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 2: also talked about this early in the season. The forty 167 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: nine ers pass defense was problematic early in the season, 168 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 2: and then they made a key change and they took 169 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: Isaiah Oliver out of the lineup, you know, put Lenore 170 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 2: in as a starter, and their secondary started playing a 171 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: lot better. So if he's out, you know, then there's 172 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: some potential holes again. And I have the better defense, 173 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: the much better special teams, and I have Harball and 174 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: Lamar as an underdog in a game that I think 175 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: is going to be is going to live up to 176 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: the billing. I think this is field goal game. I 177 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 2: know the Ravens will be ready, they'll be buttoned up, 178 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 2: and I have to mention it because it's worth mentioning 179 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 2: the AFC over the NFC this year. Yeah, I think 180 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 2: it's worth at least something. We saw it again with 181 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 2: the Bills against the Cowboys last week. The AFC has 182 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: had a great year against the NFC, who the forty 183 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: nine Ers lost to. They're one and two against the 184 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,839 Speaker 2: AFC North. They lost a PJ. Walker, They lost the 185 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: Bengals at home. They beat the Steelers in the opener. 186 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: I think there's too many points. I think as of 187 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: right now, this is the favorite to be the Super 188 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: Bowl matchup. I make it closer to three and a half. 189 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 2: Give me the Ravens harball as a dog. I think 190 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: my prediction forty nine Ers win by a field goal. 191 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the Ravens as well. Any chance you 192 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 3: think this gets to six? I mean five and a half. 193 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: It's pushing it, but I would doubt it actually hits 194 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: the six. 195 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 3: But do you think there's any chance of that? 196 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 2: I don't think so, so I already bought it at 197 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 2: five and a half. I don't think that it does. 198 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: If it does, I would assume it gets bought quick. 199 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 2: But I think this is more likely to go to 200 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 2: four and a half from six. 201 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: Would you buy a would you pay for like, you know, 202 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: minus one twenty six or is do you think, because 203 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: I know, I mean it used to be seven and three, 204 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: but now with the way teams are going for two 205 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: and it's more like the overtime, you're just kind of 206 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: protecting the six for a push. 207 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 2: But would you do that if you could find a 208 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 2: cheap one out there? 209 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 3: I don't need it, Okay, Yeah, I like that as well. 210 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, Raven's I mean high quality team and Lamar just 211 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: the off schedule things that you can't even really model. 212 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: But I mean, man, that play he had last week 213 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: against Jacksonville where he was like got. 214 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: Out of trouble. 215 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: And I know people hate Collins works for slurping on 216 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: all these quarterbacks, but that was like a slurpable play 217 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: on that on that Lamar where he just threw it 218 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: up after getting out of trouble. So yeah, I wouldn't 219 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: be surprised to see I wouldn't be sprisedy the Ravers 220 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: win a game. Honestly, I think San Francisco's kind of 221 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: been coasting a little bit, you know, and now they're 222 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: just coming off playing one of the worst teams in 223 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: the league. Now it's kind of a little shock step 224 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: up on competition again. I mean, it's not as I've 225 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: generally handled that well this year, but yeah, I think 226 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: this is this should be a close game. 227 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 2: Oh Merry Christmas. 228 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 3: That's unbelievable what he just did. All right. 229 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 1: For my first pick, the second overall of the week, 230 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: sixteen to six pack, go with the Vikings plus three 231 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: home dogs against the Lions. Not a usual Lions state 232 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: spot because this is an indoor game. Minnesota is still 233 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: an indoor spot. But I think you're gonna get a 234 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: desperate Minnesota team still alive here for playoff positioning. And 235 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, Minnesota keep saying his defense. I think it's 236 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 1: it's being underrated. You know, it's top five up in 237 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 1: DVOA now and obviously that's you know, takes schedule adjustment 238 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: into account. 239 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 3: They had that one. 240 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: Really bad game against Philadelphia defending the run early in 241 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: Week two. Since then, you know their top six run 242 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: defense as well seventh against the pass. 243 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 3: And that blitz. 244 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: I think that blitz is going to give Jared Goff 245 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: some issues even though it's indoors, because we all know 246 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: by now Minnesota leads the NFL with a fifty percent 247 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: blitz rate. Brian Flores has done an amazing job and 248 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: Jared Goff this year. Give him his credit when not 249 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: blitz Jared Goff number one out of forty one qualified 250 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in PFF grade, so he's been excellent when the 251 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 1: defense isn't really mixing it up, sending anything exotic at him, 252 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: just standard for a man rush. 253 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 3: But when you blitz Goff, he goes from. 254 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: Number one out of forty one to number twenty nine 255 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: out of forty one, so he becomes, you know, barely 256 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: a starter level quarterback when you blitz him. And again, 257 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: this Viking defense blitz his team's fifty percent at the time, 258 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: more than anybody in the league by far. So I 259 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: think the Viking defense it's it's a quality defense, but 260 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: I think the scheme also, I will give Goff some 261 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: issues and it helps that Minnesota can defend the run 262 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: reasonably well. I assume you're still going to get some 263 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: big plays from Jamior Gibbs because he doesn't seem to 264 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: be contained lately. But on the other side, Minnesota, you know, 265 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: sought earlier in the year with cam Akers. Hopefully this 266 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: time it's for real. Ty Chandler just excellent game in 267 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: place of Alexander Madison. So looks like Chandler should have 268 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 1: no worse than a fifty to fifty split. I think 269 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: they should just give him the whole feature back role. 270 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: But he's averaging nearly a full yard per touch more 271 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: than Alexander Madison this year, better success rate on both 272 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: runs and receptions. And then Justin Jefferson being back is big, 273 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: you know, sixty five percent receiving success rate that's second 274 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: to only Brandon Ayuk among wide receivers. 275 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 2: So Nick Mullens is not jam Sutton shadow Jefferson good. 276 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 3: Luck, Yeah, exactly. 277 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: And Nick Mullens is just the latest in the line 278 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: of these backup quarterbacks. But because you know, we've talked 279 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 1: about this with Minnesota, they've low key somehow been able 280 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: to build a deep enough roster to where it's next 281 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: man up hasn't really hurt them. And then the coaches 282 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: are just getting the most out of these guys, you know, 283 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: taking like lesser talent and getting the most. So we 284 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: saw that last week with Nick Mollons keeping them in 285 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: a game, was able to throw for over three hundred yards. 286 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 1: I did throw a couple of bad picks, but such 287 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: as a life. I think Goff could do the same 288 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: against his whats heavy defense, So not really looking at 289 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: like a major, major disadvantage here at quarterback with with Mohens, 290 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: he can get the ball to these guys Jefferson, Hockinson, Madison, 291 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: you know, stepping up big as huge because earlier in 292 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: the year, Addison was more of a uh you know, 293 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: a third wide receivers when Jefferson was in the game. 294 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: Now Addison's playing every snap with Jefferson. So I think 295 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: this Minnesota offense is still dangerous that at home they're desperate. 296 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 3: The defense can bother. 297 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: GoF Detroit is not playing as well lately, and especially 298 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: on defense, you know Detroit, You've mentioned it a bunch stuck. 299 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: That defense is just sinking down, down, down. You know 300 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: they're they're they're especially in the past game. So again, 301 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: like you said, Jefferson matched up on Sutton, that's a 302 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: dub for Jefferson if you, you know, sell out to 303 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: stop him. Addison scored two touchdowns last week. You sell 304 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: out to stop them. 305 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 3: TJ. 306 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: Hockins is going to burn you over the middle. And 307 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: now hopefully if you were just selling out to stop 308 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: the past you can Minnesota can actually hurt you on 309 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: the ground with ty Chandlers. 310 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 3: So uh not to mention. In terms of our. 311 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: Luck rankings, Detroit one of the luckier teams in the 312 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: league eighth eighth luckiest, Minnesota twenty first, So it's a 313 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: luck mismatch as well. 314 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 3: We've seen the trends in this spot. 315 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: You know, Week six conference dogs, you know play you 316 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: know with they have won less than fifty percent of 317 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: their games against the spread in the last five seventy 318 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: eight forty five and three sixty three percent since twenty fifteen. 319 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: Week sixteen conference dogs with not more than one against 320 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: the spread win in the last four fifty five twenty 321 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: eight one sixty six percent since five. So this is 322 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: a bounce back spot for Minnesota. That's kind of been 323 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: They've been in every game, but they've they've kind of 324 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: been up and down a little bit. I think they 325 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: get a desperate division win here because I think that 326 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: blitz against Goff will slow Detroit down just just enough 327 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: for Minnesota pull it off. 328 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. I agree with this one. Like I had the 329 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 2: lines last week, I think that it was just more 330 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 2: about the Broncos and all the regression hitting them at once. 331 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 2: I was actually really impressed with the Vikings. They they 332 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: took them fifty miracles for the Bengals in that game, 333 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 2: and it's it's really a shame Like in the NFC. 334 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 2: I played this, so I agree, it's really a shame 335 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 2: in that in the NFC, the forty nine ers are 336 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: head and shoulders above everybody else. And then I think 337 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 2: you have the Cowboys and then the Eagles, and then 338 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 2: it's like, you know, the lines. If they play at home, 339 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 2: they just don't have the defense and they're gonna have 340 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 2: to go on the road. You know, the Rams. It 341 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: could be a chippy dog, but they don't have the defense. 342 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 2: If the you know, if Kirk Cousins was healthy, yeah, 343 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 2: Vikings would be a legit sleeper in the s C. 344 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 2: You have two ridiculous receivers, good tight end, found your back, 345 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 2: great offensive line with two really good tackles, and then 346 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 2: this defense. That's the biggest difference, and that's the floor 347 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 2: as bump. With this defense playing as well as it is, 348 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: if they have Cousins, they would be a legit problem. 349 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 2: In the NFC, then they could still win a game 350 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: or two, but they just don't. They don't. They just 351 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 2: don't have the ceiling now. But I agree here anything 352 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 2: if you'll go above my second pick and the third 353 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 2: overall of the week sixteen Holiday weekend six pack. I 354 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: am going with the Eastern stick led Los Angeles Chargers 355 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 2: plus twelve at home against the Buffalo Bills, putting my 356 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 2: perfect Bills record on the line against the spread. This year, 357 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 2: I knew I was going to bet this. I took 358 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 2: some fourteen early in the week. I would bet this 359 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 2: down to eleven and a half. This is this has 360 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 2: This is basically every once in a while during the 361 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 2: NFL season, I a pure spot plays. There's no matchup, 362 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 2: there's nothing I'm going to tell you about the x's 363 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 2: and o's. This checks every box from a spotlight perspective, 364 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 2: and then I show showed enough line value to play it. 365 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 2: So number one, we're selling high on the Bills. Here 366 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 2: the market on the Bills. The Bills have been a 367 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 2: fun roller coaster to bet because I've just been fortunate 368 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 2: enough to be on the right side of it. Bet 369 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 2: them early in the year, at all those defensive injuries, 370 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 2: I started fading them. Everyone jumped off and said the 371 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 2: Bill stink. And then you know, I've bet them the 372 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 2: last three weeks. Now everyone's saying the Bills super Bowl. 373 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: So little you know, sell high but after three big games, 374 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 2: now you're going across country in a short week. Means 375 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 2: more late in the year. They just played the Cowboys, Eagles, 376 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 2: and Chiefs. Chargers extended rest new head coach Bump. What 377 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 2: does that mean? Well, I think that they quit on Stalley, 378 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 2: So you know, I would assume that they're or hope 379 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 2: that they can. They're going to rally here. This is 380 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 2: basically becomes like a kind of a super Bowl for them. 381 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 2: They're not going to the playoffs. They can try and 382 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 2: help ruin the Bills season. And these are professional athletes. 383 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 2: They were embarrassed, came up sixty plus to the Raiders, 384 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: lost by forty. Teams are never as bad as they 385 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 2: look and look double digit. Well, let me just say 386 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: with this, teams that lose by thirty five or more 387 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 2: usually a good bet in the NFL buying low on 388 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 2: them usually get their best effort the next week after 389 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: they're embarrassed. He's lost by thirty five plus points the 390 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 2: previous week seventy five, forty four and six against the 391 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 2: spread over the past twenty years, sixty three percent, covering 392 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 2: by about a field goal per game when underdogs after 393 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,200 Speaker 2: losing by thirty five or more fifty eight twenty nine 394 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 2: and five against the spread sixty seven percent. That includes 395 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 2: seventeen and three against the number when catching more than 396 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: ten points after losing by thirty five or more eighty 397 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 2: five percent, so double digital dog. That means they're a 398 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 2: bad team. Some of them have backup quarterbacks as well, 399 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 2: and they just lost by thirty five plus. No one 400 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 2: wants to back that team well in this situation, which 401 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 2: has only happened on average once a year of the 402 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 2: past twenty years, seventeen and three against the spread covering 403 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 2: by ten points per game. A couple outright upsets in 404 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 2: there as well, including six sixteen and one after the 405 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 2: month of September, and teams who allowed fifty plus the 406 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 2: week before covered a sixty five percent clip over the 407 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 2: past thirty years. Going to get their best effort year, 408 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 2: Bill's riding high could come out a little flat. You 409 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 2: could get like an Allen turnover early. This is just 410 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 2: the spot new coach bump, short week going across the country, 411 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 2: extended rest for the Chargers, Bill's off three big games 412 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 2: probably not going to be as focused here for this one. 413 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 2: I like the Chargers give me easton stick as a 414 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: double digit home dog and one last one here. Double 415 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 2: digit home dogs in the NFL will always catch my eye. 416 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 2: Double digit road favorites in the NFL past twenty years 417 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 2: fifty three, seventy three and one against the spread. I 418 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,080 Speaker 2: like the Chargers. I think this game is going to 419 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 2: get weird. You'll know in the first quarter if the Chargers, 420 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 2: like rallied and come out and if also if the 421 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 2: Bills are flat. If that's the case, I think this 422 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 2: will be close to the fourth Bills probably fly pet 423 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 2: pull it out, but I think it's the spot to 424 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 2: back the Chargers. 425 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you've had the feel on the Bills. 426 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: I would have probably just would have been a game 427 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: I would stay away from. But uh, you make good points, 428 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,560 Speaker 1: especially about the you know, the more the bigger you 429 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: get blown out in the NFL. You know, I've definitely 430 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: always kind of noticed that the next week because it's 431 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: just natural, even from a model perspective, right like now 432 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: you have to factor in this massive point differential into 433 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: the number, and then it's obvious, like it's it's such 434 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 1: an outlier that it's you know, it's almost guaranteed to 435 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: come down, so you're almost guaranteed to get somewhat of 436 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: a well then the martage. 437 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 2: In general and they you know, you have all these 438 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,679 Speaker 2: betters that who wants to back the team that just 439 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 2: lost by fifty? 440 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, yeah, all right. 441 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: For my second pick to fourth overall of the week, 442 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: sixteen to six pack, I am going with the Pittsburgh 443 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: Steelers plus two home dog against the Cincinnati Bengals. We're 444 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,399 Speaker 1: gonna try this again into Steelers. I like buying the teams. 445 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: Whenever the sky is falling on the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike 446 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 1: Tomlin might be fired. 447 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 3: The tradition is dead. That's a moment right here for 448 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 3: your young stuns. Let's live, Kims want to have a 449 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 3: good Christmas. 450 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: But I think the Cincinnati team has been running a 451 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: little high. I think you know Pittsburgh. Yeah, I was 452 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: about to say, finally, Pittsburgh not the luckiest team. Neither. No, 453 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania teams are the top teams. Cincinnati has taken over Cincinnati. 454 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: I mean both teams. Injuries that will affect the past, 455 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati pass game of Pittsburgh. You know, No, Well 456 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: KZ got suspended and then looks like Mink is gonna miss. 457 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: But Cincinnati know Jamar Chase that's big because now you 458 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: know t Higgins, you could kind of game plan against him, 459 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: and you know Tyler Boyd's been playing West. It's just 460 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: a whole bunch of tight ends I think for Cincinnati, 461 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: which is it's just not really uh an offense that 462 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: scares you without Jamar Chase and Jake Browning's worst game 463 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: came against the Pittsburgh Steels. I think that was like 464 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: the one time fading the Steelers, you know, when they 465 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: were what I think they were favored. 466 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 3: Didn't work out in these last few. 467 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 2: Like, yeah, the Steers one, they should have won that 468 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 2: game by about twenty five. They had about four h 469 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 2: yards of offense is the first, Yes, yeah, that game. 470 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, So this is I mean, this is kind of 471 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: what the Steelers do. It's just like you think they're 472 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: dead and they're gonna come back. You know, I thought 473 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: they played competitively last week and then it just all 474 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: came apart in that near the end of the first 475 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: half for them. But you know, you're gonna get their 476 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,479 Speaker 1: best effort here. And Mason Rudolph, if you look at 477 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: his adjustin net yards per attempt five point one for 478 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: his career, Kenny Pickett five point zero, and Trubisky career 479 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: as a Steeler four point nine, so there's really been 480 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: no drop off of anything. Rudolph probably has been the 481 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: slightly better one over you know, the span of their careers. 482 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 1: I already mentioned Cincinnati number one and Luck and then 483 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: no DJ Reader on defense for Cincinnati on the interior, yeah, 484 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: top ten PFF grade overall for defensive lineman h top 485 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: ten grade in run defense, and top ten grade in 486 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: pass rush too. 487 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 3: So even the interior pass rush takes a bit of 488 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 3: a hit. 489 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 2: But we and the drop off the most important things 490 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 2: to drop off to his replacement. 491 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And we remember last year when this reader 492 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: missed a good trunk of the season and the splits 493 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: were like night and day. It was like they were 494 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: allowing you know, like under four yards to carry well 495 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 1: under four yards of carry with reader on the field, 496 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: and you know high fours, well fives with reader off 497 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,360 Speaker 1: the field. So, Pittsburgh, anytime you can help this team 498 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: run the ball, that's always important when you have a 499 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, quarterback situation like this. 500 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 3: But more importantly this another Tomlin raw Ross spots. 501 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: We know he's fifty five thirty one against the spread 502 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: as a dog sixty four percent seventeen and six with 503 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,719 Speaker 1: three pushes seventy four percent against the spread as a 504 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: home dog. 505 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 3: What a ra ram like Tumlin spot. 506 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: We win the game with this prool bodies right here today, 507 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: bring the only game to day and as a dog 508 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: off a loss twenty one and eleven, sixty six percent 509 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: against the spread, and then it doesn't happen often. So 510 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: I don't know how much you're putting stock to put 511 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: into this, but I did. It did pop up on 512 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 1: my action lab, so I thought I mentioned it because 513 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: it's pretty interesting. But Week sixteen underdogs on a three 514 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: game losing streak, seventeen and three against the spread eighty 515 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: five percent over the past two decades. 516 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 2: So seventeen and three that's also the. 517 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: Yeah you had one too, a seventeen three seventeen. Hey, 518 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: we're both going with seventeen to three trends, soar as 519 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: our second pick. 520 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 3: What could go wrong? 521 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,880 Speaker 1: Back in Mason Rudolf at East's stick right, So give 522 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: me the steers plus two. 523 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 2: I actually just played this. I was waiting to see 524 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 2: if it would go to three, but it's not. So yeah, 525 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 2: it's down to two everywhere, so it's not going to 526 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 2: go to three, so I just put yeah, it's going yeah. 527 00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 2: I like this. The reader loss is huge, the chase 528 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,239 Speaker 2: losses huge. Browning's played well, expiration date is coming. If 529 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 2: you look at adjusted completion per sets of expectation, like 530 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 2: all the tip balls to the balls that he's just 531 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 2: chucked down field, and then a lot of it, like 532 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 2: against the Colts he had two hundred and fift yards 533 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 2: passing two hundred and ten. We're after the catch. He's 534 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 2: getting a little bit too much love here, and the 535 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 2: Seiers will be able to run it now and they'll 536 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 2: probably break some explosives. And that's like nice for a 537 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 2: quarterback like Rudolph to rely on. And since twenty nineteen, 538 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 2: there's been ninety nine quarterbacks with at least one hundred dropbacks. 539 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 2: If you look at just at EPA per play, Rudolph 540 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 2: fifty fourth, Trubisky's forty nine. Pickett is fifty eighth, so 541 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 2: there's really no discernible difference. And Trubiskia has completely lost 542 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 2: the plot. I mean, he was lost out there, so 543 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 2: I would say that this is even an upgrade because 544 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 2: he was just he was completely lost. So I think 545 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 2: this will provide a boost to the offense. And by 546 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 2: the way, this is the fourth or fifth wall thermodynamics. 547 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 2: I think there's a fourth, but it's like informal. He 548 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 2: on the tom and has to finish within about five 549 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 2: on ad record, so he needs this win to do that. 550 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: Then he'll probably lose at Seattle and the Ravens will 551 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 2: somehow out that once he locked up, and then they'll 552 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 2: win at Baltimore and Week eighteen. The only thing that 553 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 2: scares me is just if like things are going wrong early, 554 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 2: because I think they'll show up, like the body language 555 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 2: on the Steelers sometimes, like especially the receivers. It's so bad. 556 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 1: But that's the Steelers voodoo, right, it's like the many. 557 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: You think things could not get any worse. Yeah, it's 558 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: like they just come there and surprise you. So, I mean, really, 559 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: we're betting on the defense if we're betting on the 560 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: Steelers anyway, right, We're not. We're not betting on George 561 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: Prickett's to suddenly turn his attitude around. 562 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it should be a ton of pressure or 563 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 2: two off the edge against those Bengals tackles. I think 564 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 2: Orlando Brown is the highest willowed the highest pressure rate 565 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 2: in the NFL with any tackle although we'll talk about 566 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 2: this game later, I have to betch this. So most 567 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 2: pressures allowed by I left tackle this season Orlando Brown 568 00:28:55,080 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 2: fifty most sacks allowed backed in eleven, So fifty pressures 569 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 2: eleven sacks the Titans left tackle combo of Dillard, Duncan, 570 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 2: Ratten's and Petite Ferreer. I think they've had four guys 571 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 2: for left tackle, so fifty pressures is the most by 572 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 2: one and eleven sacks the Titans left tackle combo this 573 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 2: year's seventy six pressures allowed in twenty sacks. All right. 574 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 2: For my third pick and the fifth overall of the 575 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 2: week sixteen Holiday Weekend six pack, I'm going with the 576 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons minus one at home against the Indianapolis Colts. 577 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 2: Catch a fallen knife here with the Falcons, everyone says 578 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 2: they're dead, coach getting fired. This is mainly a fate 579 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 2: of the Colts. I think the Colts are a fraud, 580 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 2: said him many times. And also Michael Pittman concussion protocol, 581 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 2: Taylor and mosstill questionable right to tackle, Braydon Smith dealing 582 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 2: with an injury. Last week the Falcons lost with the 583 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 2: pain Anthers. I think this is as as low as 584 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 2: they're going to go on the market. You got to 585 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 2: remember that game was played horrendous weather conditions. Ritter gave 586 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 2: it away with the worst pick I've ever seen in 587 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 2: an NFL game. And they were also playing with that 588 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 2: McGarry and Lindstrom to a really good offensive lineman. They 589 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 2: were also playing with that on Yamada. I think all 590 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 2: three will be back. They were close to all playing. 591 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 2: I thought they were actually going to play, and then 592 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,800 Speaker 2: I was going to bet the Falcons and they didn't. 593 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 2: But they went through warm ups and so I would 594 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 2: assume they play here, which they basically couldn't run it 595 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 2: to the right side of the They just had to 596 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 2: try to run it to the left side of line 597 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 2: the entire game last week, and then they had no 598 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 2: one in the middle because they had to put the 599 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 2: streak got her, they had put him on ir. So 600 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 2: I think on on Yamada, McGarry and Lynstrom should be back, 601 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 2: which will provide a boost in the trenches. But the 602 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 2: Colts also one of the luckier teams in the NFL 603 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 2: for our luck rankings, and you're you're not gonna be 604 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 2: able to run on Atlanta, assuming on you Mada's back. 605 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 2: The Rundy's been good. Minshew has a flurry of turnovers coming. 606 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 2: He's fourteen touchdowns, eight interceptions on the air despite twelve 607 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 2: big time throws twenty one turnover worthy plays, and the 608 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 2: Colts look. I have a lot of respect for Shane Seiken. 609 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 2: I think he's all of a coach. I think the 610 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: Eagles really miss him. It's one of the things that's 611 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 2: going wrong there right now. But you know, without it's 612 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 2: gonna be up to Minshew. Without Pittman here, and there's 613 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 2: turnovers coming, and I think the Colts are just at 614 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 2: the peak of their market. Diet. Let's look at what 615 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 2: the Colts have done since October. First, they have five 616 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 2: losses to the Rams, Jags, Browns with PJ. Walker, Saints 617 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 2: and Bengals with Jake Browning. All those teams in the 618 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,719 Speaker 2: playoff mix, even though they're Browning and Walker were two 619 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 2: of their losses. Fine, who are their six wins? Titans twice, 620 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 2: one of them in overtime because the punter got hurt, 621 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 2: the Panthers, the Patriots in London in a game they're 622 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 2: out gained by I think one hundred yards, the Bucks 623 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 2: and the Steelers. Those are their six wins. Over the 624 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 2: past two months or three months, I should say, thirteen 625 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 2: to five turnover margin in those games. Three of those 626 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 2: six teams that they beat have now benched their quarterbacks 627 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 2: that they've faced. They were outplayed and out gained in 628 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 2: four of the six on the season, five and two 629 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 2: in one possession games, the second most takeaways in the 630 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 2: league with twenty four. I mean, this team has just 631 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 2: been getting very fortunate and not beating anyone really respectable 632 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 2: since that Ravens win in overtime, getting very lucky in 633 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 2: close games. Minshew has some turnover regression coming, and the 634 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 2: defense is just bad. It's like the d line is 635 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 2: good and Kenny Moore is a hell of a slot, 636 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 2: but other than that, you can throw on them. And 637 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 2: I think that's where I really like this change to 638 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 2: going to Taylor Heinike, who will give them a better 639 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 2: shot of attacking downfield. And Rinnard just literally has given 640 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 2: away so many games are just with here's the ball, 641 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 2: like inexplicable turnover. And the Falcons have been on the 642 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 2: opposite of the spectrum of the Colts. They're two and 643 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 2: five over the past seven games, one in five in 644 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 2: games decided by five or less. They lost by five, 645 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 2: three on a final minute touchdown, two on a last 646 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,959 Speaker 2: second field goal, four on a last minute touchdown, and 647 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 2: two on the last second field goal. Five losses by 648 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 2: combined sixteen points, four of which came in a final 649 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 2: second touchdown or field goal. So they've been getting extremely unlucky. 650 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 2: I don't think there as bad as people think. I 651 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,880 Speaker 2: think they get this win at home. Give me Atlanta 652 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 2: Falcons minus one. 653 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. 654 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: I mean the Coast the Falcons are bad in terms 655 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: of like they're they're playing below their count level because 656 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: of a combination of Ritter and I think just Archur 657 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: Smith's coaching. He's out there, he's out thinking himself this year. 658 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,719 Speaker 1: But like I've been saying, this Coast team, You've been 659 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 1: saying it too. His Coast team is from I mean 660 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 1: we should Yeah, like you said, Stiching, great job, but 661 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: there's only so much you can do with this type 662 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 1: of team. And I think at some point it's gonna 663 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: come back. You know, they're gonna come back down to earth. 664 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: I don't know how Minchu's been getting away with this, 665 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 1: with this uh, we're just putting this ball up for grabs, 666 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: and he hasn't really paid as much as he should. 667 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,719 Speaker 1: The Falcons defense playing well even without Grady Jarrett, so 668 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:22,280 Speaker 1: that's big. 669 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 3: Here. They can stop the run, that's also big. So 670 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 3: I like this too. Mad. 671 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 1: I think the Falcons were like a two point home 672 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: dog at one point, So I'm mad I missed the line. 673 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: But yeah, you're still kind of just picking them, picking 674 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: the Falcons to win the game. I mean, our our 675 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,760 Speaker 1: NFC South future up in flames in these last two weeks. 676 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 3: I just yeah, it's it's been bad. I'll close it out. 677 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: Third pick, sixth overaw of the Week, sixteen to six pack, 678 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: going with the Cardinals plus four at the Chicago Bears. 679 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: This is tough for me because I love the Bears. 680 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: Think they're playing well, playing how I thought they would play. 681 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 3: For the entire year. But I also think. 682 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,399 Speaker 1: The Bears have been getting lucky. Their defense is force 683 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: fourteen turnovers over the last four games, three or more 684 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: in each game. They've had a plus six turnover differential 685 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: over those last four games. And I think this Arizona 686 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,840 Speaker 1: team is not as bad as it was earlier, and 687 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: the defense is still bad, but we know Chicago and 688 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: Justin Fields can turn the ball over and kind of 689 00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 1: almost doesn't matter what defense they're facing. They kind of 690 00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: play the same, like they're gonna make some big plays 691 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: and they're gonna have. 692 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 3: Some mind them and turnovers. 693 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: But you look outside this Ram debacle, which you say 694 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,280 Speaker 1: it's a circle of life. Every year Rams just dust 695 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. But outside of the Ram debacle, Cardinals beat 696 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: the Falcons as a home dog. They lose to Houston 697 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 1: on the road by five numerous chances to win or 698 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 1: be closer than that. They beat Pittsburgh by two scores 699 00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,720 Speaker 1: as a road dog, and then last week, respectable performance 700 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 1: against the Niners. I mean, Niners are going to stomp you. 701 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 1: You're one of the worst teams in the league. But 702 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: they did outgain San Francisco by thirty. They put up 703 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 1: over four hundred yards of offense on the Niners. They 704 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: put up twenty nine points, They ran the ball well, 705 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: and then you got, you know this kind of spot. 706 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,720 Speaker 3: I'm going to keep backing it until it fails. 707 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray road underdog fifteen and four with two pushes 708 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,919 Speaker 1: in his career, seventy nine percent against the spread. And 709 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,919 Speaker 1: as much as I like this Bear team, I think 710 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: we're kind of at the top of the market. Here. 711 00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 1: I don't think this Bear team should be favored by 712 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: more than a field goal, even though they're at home 713 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 1: against anyone at this point. So going with the Cardinals here, 714 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray road dog usually cashes. 715 00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 3: Probably, I could see a Bears. 716 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: Win by three in this spot, So give me the 717 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: cards plus four anything over a field goal like it. 718 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, I got nothing to here, my darling Bears three 719 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 2: times don't see any value, and then this week I'll 720 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 2: rein nothing here for me, all right. 721 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: So to recap, stuck Baltimore plus five and a half 722 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 1: charges plus twelve Falcons minus one, I got the Vikes 723 00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:17,360 Speaker 1: plus three Steelers plus two cards plus four. So you 724 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:22,320 Speaker 1: got let's see Lamar Easton Stick and Taylor Heinike. I 725 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: got Nick Mowens, Mason Rudolph and Kyler kind of, I mean, 726 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,840 Speaker 1: Lamar is better than Kyra, but still kind of the 727 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: same quarterback situation here. 728 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 3: All right. 729 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: That is gonna wrap it for our week sixteen Sunday 730 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: six pack. Now it's time for the coaches pep talk. 731 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,239 Speaker 1: You keep playing the way you're playing, We're gonna get 732 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:39,359 Speaker 1: a half feet again to night. 733 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,839 Speaker 3: And it stopped right now for this week's pep talk. 734 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: We're going to the nineteen seventy six Film Network and 735 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: we're dedicating this one to the Pittsburgh Steelers and to 736 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers. I think those are two need 737 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:57,959 Speaker 1: a little bit of luck. 738 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 3: I don't have to tell you things bad. 739 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 2: Everybody knows things are bad. 740 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: There's nobody anywhere seems to know what to do, and 741 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: there's no end to it. 742 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 3: We know things are bad, worse than bad. 743 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 1: It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, and all we 744 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: say is just leave us alone. 745 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,280 Speaker 2: Well, I'm not good to leave you alone. 746 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 3: I want you to get mad. You got to say, 747 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 3: I'm a human being. God damn it, my life has value. 748 00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 2: I want you to get up now. 749 00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 1: I want all of you to get up out of 750 00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: your chairs and go to the window, open it and 751 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:29,839 Speaker 1: stick your head out and. 752 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 3: Yell hire as bad as hell. I Do'm not ty 753 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,439 Speaker 3: to take this anymore. Steeer's Chargers always loved that one. 754 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: All right, let's get into our favorite total of the week. 755 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: All right, we've had a pretty thoud year and totals 756 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:50,560 Speaker 1: over us seventeen and thirteen. You went first, stuck with 757 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: the six pack. I'll go first for the total. I 758 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: know We both like this one. Patriots Broncos under thirty 759 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 1: four and a half. Pretty simple, Probably gonna have freezing temperatures, 760 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,560 Speaker 1: probably gonna have some snow. New England can stop the run. 761 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: Their number one in run defense, DVOA. That's what the 762 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 1: Broncos want to do. Broncos, you know, need to win out, 763 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 1: so I don't think they're gonna get too crazy here. 764 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 3: Patriots don't play too aggressively. 765 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,399 Speaker 1: More one of the more conservative teams, even though they've 766 00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 1: been one of the worst teams in the league. New 767 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:30,080 Speaker 1: England road unders even you know, going back to the 768 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: Brady era, you know, when New England goes on the road, 769 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,399 Speaker 1: they really don't take They just kind of go about 770 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: their business. Road unders for the Patriots are forty and 771 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,840 Speaker 1: twenty three sixty seven percent all the way back to 772 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. Non divisional primetime unders that have dropped at 773 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: least a point or more than a point. Excuse me, 774 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: which this total opened move It was thirty six and 775 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,360 Speaker 1: a half, so it's down about two as we record 776 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,720 Speaker 1: this early in the week. But non divisional primetime unders 777 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 1: that have dropped more than a point since the opener 778 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,480 Speaker 1: fIF twenty seven and twenty four seventy percent since twenty sixteen. 779 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 3: Unders in freezing or below. 780 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 1: Temperatures, which it looks like we might get forecasts right 781 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: around thirty one thirty two right now. But unders and 782 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: freezing are below fifty eight and thirty seven sixty one 783 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:19,480 Speaker 1: percent since twenty fifteen. Under thirty seven or less outdoors, 784 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: which you've seen a lout of this year especially, but 785 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 1: under thirty seven or less outdoors thirty two and twelve 786 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: seventy three percent over the past decade, and we know 787 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: about just primetime unders in general sixty four percent this year, 788 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 1: sixty five percent since the start of last year. I 789 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,839 Speaker 1: don't see many points being scored here. I don't see 790 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: many risks being taken here, and I think both teams 791 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: will want to run. New England can stop it. That 792 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: doesn't mean Denver's going to throw it around the yard. 793 00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: So give me the uh Pats Broncos under thirty four 794 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 1: and a half. 795 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, this would have been mine if you weren't first. 796 00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 2: You know the Patriots. If you look, you know the 797 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 2: Chiefs put twenty seven on them. But before then their 798 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 2: opponents scored eighteen, six, ten, ten, twenty, So you know, 799 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 2: unless they're pacing like an elite offense, which is the 800 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 2: bron because isn't there They're they're they're not giving up 801 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 2: any more than seventeen to twenty. So this plays out 802 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 2: to like, you know, seventeen thirteen type of game. And 803 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 2: the one thing they got you didn't mentioned is Antonio 804 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 2: Well Bailey's apps. He was among I think any quarterback 805 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,359 Speaker 2: this year. He's dead lasted a just deep paper play. 806 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 2: Antonio Maffi is back in at guard and that's a disaster. 807 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 2: Courch Yeah hurt, he's on ir. Trent Brown could be 808 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 2: out again and his backup got hurt. So the offensive 809 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 2: line could be There was times earlier in the year 810 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 2: where the offense was completely dysfunct you couldn't do anything, 811 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 2: and it could be back to that with this offensive line. 812 00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 2: So yeah, I like that. For my favorite total, I'm 813 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,799 Speaker 2: gonna go this one is just I don't have much 814 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,280 Speaker 2: to say on it. I'm going Packers Panthers over thirty 815 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 2: six and a half. I think this should be like 816 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 2: thirty eight and a half. So this is mainly in numbers. 817 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:24,759 Speaker 2: Playing thirty seven is kind of key. Get the twenty 818 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,719 Speaker 2: to seventeen you're going over Panthers have played some really 819 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 2: low scoring games. Their offense is awful. Maybe they can 820 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,800 Speaker 2: take some confidence from last week late in that game, 821 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 2: but the Packers defense is trending in the wrong direction. 822 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,720 Speaker 2: I just think this is a product of the scoring 823 00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 2: environment and everything that we've seen with Panthers games of late. 824 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 2: So I just think this is too low and it's 825 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 2: below key. So give me the Packers Panthers over. Those 826 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,280 Speaker 2: are the two totals I've bet this weekend, are the 827 00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,520 Speaker 2: Patriots under and the Packers over. 828 00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,759 Speaker 3: That's it takes some stones to bet Panthers overs. That 829 00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:57,760 Speaker 3: is our totals. 830 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,439 Speaker 1: Pat Broncos under thirty four and a half, that Gus 831 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: Hackers Panthers over thirty six and a half. And that's 832 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: time for our favorite teaser of the week. 833 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, six point teasers. 834 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 3: Don't tease me. 835 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,400 Speaker 1: Both ten and five on teasers this year, So twenty 836 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 1: and ten overall. Stuck where you're going four Week sixteen. 837 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,799 Speaker 2: Let's go with the classic one two and a half 838 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 2: point dogs up to eight and a half in lower 839 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,799 Speaker 2: games of lower totals. Let's go to Titans. See this 840 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 2: every year. See I'll probably lose this game. They beat 841 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 2: the Eagles and need a way to keep the playoff 842 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:45,319 Speaker 2: hopes alive. You're going to see a lot of these 843 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:51,840 Speaker 2: teams losed as favorites, but lower scoring game probably a 844 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,720 Speaker 2: ten starting here, which is fine. I mean, the offensive 845 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 2: line is a disaster, but uh, I'm very comfortable getting 846 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,280 Speaker 2: eight and a half at home. Rabile as a dog 847 00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,320 Speaker 2: as well in play, and then let's go to Texans. 848 00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 2: I know Stroud's not gonna play. There's some other injuries 849 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 2: to keep an eye on there because they're pretty banged 850 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 2: up Cashman Anderson Collins. But this is this Browns team 851 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,359 Speaker 2: also has a ton of injuries. I mean, you're now 852 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,400 Speaker 2: down three tackles potentially the Tonio guard, Potridge at center, 853 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,720 Speaker 2: Walker at linebacker, Thornhill at safety, Delpit at safety, McCloud 854 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 2: at safety, Hurst of Barnco on the d line. They 855 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,840 Speaker 2: can't run the ball right now. Flacco will make mistakes. 856 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 2: He's looked better than their other options, but he's still 857 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,840 Speaker 2: thirty eight and you have to face the Rams and 858 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 2: jagged secondaries and the Jaguar. A ton of injuries his 859 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,440 Speaker 2: first two starts, and last week he had a bunch 860 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:41,800 Speaker 2: of big plays against the Bears, but he should have 861 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 2: had about four or five picks in that game. At 862 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 2: eight percent turnover worthy play rate, you know him. P J. 863 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 2: Walker and dtr are among fifty quarterbacks with fifty plus dropbacks. 864 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 2: They're all bottom ten just a EPA to play. So 865 00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 2: I think Flacka was getting a little bit too much credit. 866 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,839 Speaker 2: And look the seven Browns are seven and three since 867 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,600 Speaker 2: the buy. They won by two on a miss San 868 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 2: fran field goal, one on a miss you know, a 869 00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:10,319 Speaker 2: miss call on the end of the Colts game. You know. 870 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,399 Speaker 2: They beat Clayton Tune by twenty seven, won by three 871 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,799 Speaker 2: on the last second field goal, two in the last 872 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 2: second field goal. They trailed by fourteen in the fourth, 873 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 2: three on the last second field goal. They trailed by 874 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,840 Speaker 2: ten in the fourth and four, and their three losses 875 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,239 Speaker 2: have come by thirty eight points. 876 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 3: If you remove the. 877 00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,800 Speaker 2: Tune game, they're six and three with a negative twenty 878 00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,440 Speaker 2: five scoring margin. They trailed in the fourth and seven 879 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,520 Speaker 2: of their past ten games, and they've gone seven and 880 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 2: three tier trailed in eight of those ten. Brown's road 881 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,799 Speaker 2: defense thirty one points per game. They're two and four 882 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,279 Speaker 2: on the road, with wins by one and two in 883 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 2: games that they trailed by double ditches in the fourth. 884 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 2: They've allowed twenty six, twenty four, thirty eight, thirty one, 885 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,919 Speaker 2: twenty nine, and thirty six on the road, and it's 886 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:59,520 Speaker 2: not like they faced all lead offenses. It's the Colts, Broncos, Rams, Steelers, Seahawks, 887 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:06,800 Speaker 2: and Ravens ah So yeah, I feel comfortable, even without Stroud, 888 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:10,279 Speaker 2: that they can keep this within a touchdown. Wouldn't be 889 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:11,680 Speaker 2: surprised if the Texans still won this game. 890 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like this so Case Keenum case Keenum revenge, 891 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,000 Speaker 1: revenge spot, even though he started his career with the 892 00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,319 Speaker 1: Texas but now he's back with the. 893 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 3: Browns a couple of years ago. But yeah, I like that. 894 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 1: I agree taking that as part of my teaser as well. 895 00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 1: I think Cleveland's been getting super lucky. But even if 896 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,880 Speaker 1: they are, not like they're they're playing all these post 897 00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: games anyway. 898 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 3: It's Joe Flacco. 899 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 1: He's throwing like one bad pick per game at least, 900 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,080 Speaker 1: so I yeah, I don't really see much difference between 901 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 1: these two Scott squads, which is banged up as as 902 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:50,080 Speaker 1: Cleveland is. From my other leg, I'll go Steelers. Uh, 903 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,719 Speaker 1: thought about the Titans, but I just feel like something 904 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 1: about the vibes, like I feel like Seahawks vibes have 905 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,719 Speaker 1: been restored, or as Titan vibes, I think they just 906 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 1: got mathematically eliminated. I just worried at the bottom might 907 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,759 Speaker 1: fall out a little bit on Tennessee, especially, you know, 908 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,839 Speaker 1: if Levis doesn't go, because he seemed to be giving 909 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: him a kind of a boost. You know, he's coming 910 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,400 Speaker 1: off that big, big win against Miami a couple of 911 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 1: weeks ago. So I just I just worried that you 912 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 1: might get one of those like throwing the towels to 913 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,880 Speaker 1: howadays seasons over type of performances from Tennessee, whereas Seattle 914 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:35,840 Speaker 1: is like you see that Pete Carroll speech, I don't know, Yeah, 915 00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:38,720 Speaker 1: it's funny because I'm like, actually, if you played better 916 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 1: in the first three quarters, Like, yeah, I don't know 917 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 1: if that's the best message to give to these young, 918 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 1: impressionable football players, but hey, whatever works. But yeah, that's 919 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,840 Speaker 1: that's the only reason I don't want us both to 920 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,360 Speaker 1: both of our teases to be tied to a potential 921 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,280 Speaker 1: Titans like meltdown. So I'll go Steers because I feel 922 00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:58,399 Speaker 1: like we've already had what three of these in a row, 923 00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,080 Speaker 1: Steeer's got a at least. 924 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 2: Be close this week. 925 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 1: So we'll go Steelers Texas for me, Titans Texas for you, 926 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: and I'll try to get to eleven and five each. 927 00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:10,240 Speaker 3: As a reminder. 928 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:14,040 Speaker 1: Action Network podcast is presented by bet MGM use bonus 929 00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,319 Speaker 1: code Action act Iowan when signing up get up to 930 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred dollars paid back in bonus bets. 931 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:20,399 Speaker 3: It's your first bet. 932 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 1: Loses New users in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, 933 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 1: New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, and why 934 00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 1: owning terms and conditions apply.

I can't believe the 941 00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,480 Speaker 1: Bears coutn't hold on last week and then like I've 942 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:01,799 Speaker 1: been yeah, I've been catching. 943 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,560 Speaker 2: On that fourth down, bro. 944 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:06,839 Speaker 1: That was a great play though, I mean that was 945 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:08,919 Speaker 1: I'll give him, I give him like that's the play 946 00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:12,440 Speaker 1: you just lived with, but the just like everything else 947 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 1: and then the moone just in his in his bread bat. 948 00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:19,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he's had a massive fall off in the 949 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:19,920 Speaker 1: first half, dropped. 950 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:25,200 Speaker 3: Oh he's walking, bro. That was. That was. 951 00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen one that bad since uh 952 00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 1: last year. I think this was actually when the like 953 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:35,320 Speaker 1: I started the Panthers whispering, when Mike Evans with Brady 954 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,200 Speaker 1: threw him like a perfect deep shot and they weren't 955 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 1: even hitting deep shots and he just drops it. 956 00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 3: And they end up it was like twenty one to 957 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:41,400 Speaker 3: three to the Panthers. 958 00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, that that that was. I mean, tonyan Man, that was. 959 00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,319 Speaker 1: He's been losing some time to Marceades Lewis. I could 960 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,040 Speaker 1: see why you can't. If Tanyan can't give you that play, 961 00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 1: what is he really giving you? Not a better blocker 962 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:54,400 Speaker 1: than Lewis, that's for sure. 963 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:58,560 Speaker 3: So uh but I digress. We're going four week sixteen. 964 00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 2: Christian Watson. I think last year had one that. 965 00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,399 Speaker 1: Was, oh yeah, opening the first play of the year, 966 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 1: first play of the year, first play of the year, 967 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:10,080 Speaker 1: and that I remember that because I was on I 968 00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,880 Speaker 1: think we were probably all on the Vikings as like 969 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 1: a home do. 970 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:13,960 Speaker 3: It didn't matter. 971 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,239 Speaker 1: I think Green Bay still lost by multiple scores. But yeah, 972 00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,280 Speaker 1: that that game might have turned out just the. 973 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:19,920 Speaker 2: Tenor of that a couple of minutes of the season. 974 00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 3: Rot. 975 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was the first player, at 976 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,759 Speaker 1: least the first pass of the year. It was like 977 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:29,320 Speaker 1: a play action, perfectly drawn up deep shot. Christian Watson drops. 978 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:32,680 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's yeah, yeah, memorable. That's right up there. 979 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:33,640 Speaker 1: But where are you going? 980 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 2: Uh? I'm gonna go with the Cowboys against the Dolphins. 981 00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:42,160 Speaker 2: I think that this will be a really good game, 982 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 2: should be close. I expect the Cowboys the better effort 983 00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:47,759 Speaker 2: here against Miami, who still hasn't beat anyone with a 984 00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 2: post all year. I don't think that that makes them fraudulent, 985 00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 2: but they have some injuries, especially on the offensive line. 986 00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,640 Speaker 2: That could be the difference the Cowboys defensive line. Right. 987 00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,360 Speaker 2: If they get a lead in this game and you 988 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:05,920 Speaker 2: can pressure Tua into some mistakes, that could be the 989 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,759 Speaker 2: biggest mismatch in this game. So yeah, I'll take Dallas. 990 00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm thinking about taking Dallas just straight up on 991 00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,640 Speaker 1: the spread or whatever, trying to see exactly where Miami's 992 00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:18,200 Speaker 1: at the injuries. 993 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 3: Obviously Tyreek Hill that would be the big one. But yeah, 994 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:23,799 Speaker 3: I thought I thought, I. 995 00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 1: Mean, luckily I didn't actually invest, but I thought Miami wouldn't. 996 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:29,480 Speaker 3: I didn't think I thought the Jet would be able 997 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:30,759 Speaker 3: to keep it closer. I'll put it that way. 998 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,440 Speaker 1: It's Miami last week, but it might set up well 999 00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:38,080 Speaker 1: for a kind of fade Miami. 1000 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:38,960 Speaker 3: Spot by well on Dallas. 1001 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,399 Speaker 1: So I'll be check the app, but I'll be I'll 1002 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:43,320 Speaker 1: be looking out monitoring that one. 1003 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:44,480 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with. 1004 00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 1: Speaking of the Jets, I'm gonna go Washington here just 1005 00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:51,879 Speaker 1: because I mean, you're gonna get either can Cuss, Zach 1006 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,799 Speaker 1: Wilson and some of these quarterbacks coming off these concussion protocols. 1007 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're letting them come back, but 1008 00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if they should be or you get 1009 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:05,560 Speaker 1: Trevor Simmy. So while Washington is just is how definitely 1010 00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,279 Speaker 1: starting for Washington, it. 1011 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,720 Speaker 3: Sounds like, yeah, so they said he was obviously maybe 1012 00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,319 Speaker 3: a shorter Leach. I don't see why. I mean, at 1013 00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:13,839 Speaker 3: this point of the year, you started him. 1014 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,239 Speaker 1: For thirteen games, just you might as well see what 1015 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,799 Speaker 1: you got for the last three. But maybe maybe they 1016 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,880 Speaker 1: wanted that. Maybe they wanted to see what like the enemy, 1017 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,440 Speaker 1: you know, and Brissette could do. I don't know, maybe 1018 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,000 Speaker 1: that was the motivation. It was kind of odd to 1019 00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,880 Speaker 1: me that they benched him. But either way, we always 1020 00:52:30,920 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 1: talk about this moneyline, dog, what do you want? Uncertainty. 1021 00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:35,680 Speaker 1: There's uncertainty both. 1022 00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,520 Speaker 3: Of these sides. And in terms of quarterback how long 1023 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 3: is how is leash? You know? 1024 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 1: I think if Washington makes a quarterback, it's like if 1025 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:45,880 Speaker 1: there's a quarterback change for Washington, it probably benefits Washington 1026 00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,920 Speaker 1: more because Brissette was better than how and you know, 1027 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,799 Speaker 1: probably less. The Jets are preparing as much for that. 1028 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:58,520 Speaker 1: So this Jet team great defense, but they can still 1029 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 1: lose to anybody just because of their offense. And especially 1030 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:03,720 Speaker 1: if I if I'm getting a chance to get Trevor, 1031 00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:08,360 Speaker 1: Simmy and as and as a favorite, I'll fade that. 1032 00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:12,200 Speaker 1: So nothing nothing major X's and those wives other than 1033 00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 1: two bad teams, Washington getting plus one forty, I'll take it. 1034 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't hate it, and I hope I see 1035 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:20,240 Speaker 2: zero plays of that game. 1036 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's another bad one. 1037 00:53:22,200 --> 00:53:24,319 Speaker 1: Thought about the under thought about the under in that game, 1038 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,319 Speaker 1: but just not sure exactly who's playing yet and you know, 1039 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,000 Speaker 1: more kind of model the turnovers, which you know with 1040 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,960 Speaker 1: the Jets and Howe and just could get ugly. So 1041 00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,080 Speaker 1: but we can kind of leaning under at that on 1042 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:41,160 Speaker 1: that game as well. All right, let's get to so, yeah, 1043 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,719 Speaker 1: we do the parlay first, Dallas plus one five at 1044 00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,720 Speaker 1: bet MGM, Washington plus one forty at better MGM parlay 1045 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:51,000 Speaker 1: goes together plus three ninety two, so just under four 1046 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 1: to one. Now it's time for the best of the 1047 00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,560 Speaker 1: rest the games we haven't covered in any other segment, 1048 00:53:55,680 --> 00:54:01,919 Speaker 1: but are still, as they say, meaningful to some That's 1049 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,040 Speaker 1: going to be a touchdown, but that may be meaningful 1050 00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:06,839 Speaker 1: to some of you, so you know what I mean. 1051 00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 3: All right. 1052 00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:13,400 Speaker 1: First up, we got a matchup of two Florida teams, 1053 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,560 Speaker 1: Jaguars at the Bucks, so not a bunch of not 1054 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,360 Speaker 1: a lot of travel for the Jags, but Trevor Lawrence 1055 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:23,320 Speaker 1: in concussion protocol Bucks favor by a point the total 1056 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:24,240 Speaker 1: forty two and a half. 1057 00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,759 Speaker 3: Tough to really handicap this. 1058 00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,880 Speaker 1: I don't think Lawrence has been officially ruled out because 1059 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,719 Speaker 1: we've seen these quarterbacks on the concussion protocol come back 1060 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,000 Speaker 1: quicker later in the year. It's going to be a 1061 00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,320 Speaker 1: short week because they played on Thursday, I mean, excuse me, 1062 00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:40,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday night football, so I would doubt he gets cleared. 1063 00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:42,959 Speaker 1: But I don't know any thoughts on this one. Baker 1064 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,520 Speaker 1: Mayfield playing well for what it's worth, but any thoughts 1065 00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:46,120 Speaker 1: on this one. 1066 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, Campbell and Sisco back of practice today, Lawrence and 1067 00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:53,320 Speaker 2: Jay Jones were not. If Lawrence and Zay Jones are playing, 1068 00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,799 Speaker 2: I'll be looked to buy the Jags here, But too 1069 00:54:56,880 --> 00:55:01,879 Speaker 2: much uncertainty. Line's probably right there, it is now, given 1070 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,759 Speaker 2: everything that's going on. So yeah, it's too hard to 1071 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:05,600 Speaker 2: say anything right now. 1072 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:12,360 Speaker 1: Raiders at the Chiefs chief favored by ten total forty 1073 00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,280 Speaker 1: one and a half. Raiders coming off to that big 1074 00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,880 Speaker 1: win on Thursday against the Charges. Long rest for them, 1075 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 1: but kind of a little bit of a letdown spot. 1076 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,640 Speaker 1: But the market's also pricing that in with giving the 1077 00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,640 Speaker 1: Chiefs ten with a total of forty one. I mean 1078 00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 1: and lean Raiders, but at the same time, never want 1079 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,840 Speaker 1: a really better team coming off a forty point win either, 1080 00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:35,840 Speaker 1: So probably stay away from me. 1081 00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:36,719 Speaker 3: What about What do you think? 1082 00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:41,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is this market's pretty right. We'll 1083 00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:45,920 Speaker 2: leaned under a little bit over forty one and the 1084 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 2: Raiders a bit I make it like eight nine, but 1085 00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:54,120 Speaker 2: I think this is pretty fair. Chiefs have also had 1086 00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:58,640 Speaker 2: some like positive regression coming on the offense. But question 1087 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,920 Speaker 2: is else he washed? Is he getting away? 1088 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if you could say was. 1089 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,600 Speaker 3: I'm saying like he's a peg down. He's on a 1090 00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:11,320 Speaker 3: hill twilight. 1091 00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, like a little pegg down, Like he's 1092 00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,120 Speaker 1: not so Like I was talking to Kerner about this because, 1093 00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:21,440 Speaker 1: you know, for for projections for fantasy, and uh, the 1094 00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:26,160 Speaker 1: reason Kelsey has been immaculate as a fantasy player, and 1095 00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:27,839 Speaker 1: this applies to real life as well. 1096 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,719 Speaker 3: If you have a guy running ninety. 1097 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,919 Speaker 1: Percent of the routes, you know, running around her ninety 1098 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:36,120 Speaker 1: percent of the dropbacks as Patrick Mahomes' top target. And 1099 00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,279 Speaker 1: now rah Rice last game actually ran around on ninety 1100 00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,520 Speaker 1: three percent of the drop backs the whole year. He'd 1101 00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,000 Speaker 1: been like fifty sixty percent for she Rice getting targeted 1102 00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,880 Speaker 1: twenty six percent of his route, Kelsey twenty four. And 1103 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 1: that's like, that's not just the usage that that you know, 1104 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:53,479 Speaker 1: it's who's getting open more too. So I think from 1105 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,360 Speaker 1: that perspective, you are starting to see that again, because 1106 00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 1: you know this is not Tyreek Hill, which you know 1107 00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,239 Speaker 1: and now not even Rick Hill didn't really get a 1108 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,480 Speaker 1: higher target rate than Kelsey consistently. 1109 00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,480 Speaker 3: So yeah, I think Kelsey a little bit. I think 1110 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:06,919 Speaker 3: he's hurting. 1111 00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:10,680 Speaker 1: I think he's I think they're probably trying to limit 1112 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,279 Speaker 1: how much they rely on him until the playoffs. He's 1113 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,120 Speaker 1: still out there, but sometimes more than more as a decoy. 1114 00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:18,200 Speaker 1: But I think we won't really be able to truly 1115 00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 1: answer that question until they get into like the playoffs. 1116 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,120 Speaker 1: And then if we see Kelsey with these you know, 1117 00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,760 Speaker 1: five catches for forty yards again and the Chiefs are 1118 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:28,640 Speaker 1: still struggling on offense, then then we know. 1119 00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,760 Speaker 3: But yeah, it looks a little a little businesses. 1120 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:36,600 Speaker 2: He's got that potential tailor swift money coming to his 1121 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:40,600 Speaker 2: little business decision with that alligator arm in the end 1122 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 2: zone last week. 1123 00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, No, it's it's just you know what 1124 00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,680 Speaker 1: it is that Kelsey though, he's such an emotional player 1125 00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 1: that all it takes, all it's gonna take is like 1126 00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,640 Speaker 1: somebody to like make a big deal of this, like 1127 00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:52,600 Speaker 1: in the public, and like he'll he'll. 1128 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 3: Go like too hard next game. I got, Yes, that's 1129 00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 3: what all. Yeah, Like, I'm just that's how I say. 1130 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,920 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not ready to, you know, called the 1131 00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:06,480 Speaker 1: funeral for Kelsey yet, but yeah, it's kind of raising 1132 00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,360 Speaker 1: my eyebrow. Li And Kerner even was like heading into 1133 00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 1: last week, he was like, you know, if there's ever 1134 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,680 Speaker 1: a time to like not have Travis Kelcey rank number 1135 00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,800 Speaker 1: one tight end, it might be now. So I mean 1136 00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,320 Speaker 1: everyone's kind of noticing it a little bit. So definitely 1137 00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 1: something I'm watching. But yeah, the last game we have here, 1138 00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:26,120 Speaker 1: Giants at the Eagles, Eagles by twelve total forty two. 1139 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this is to me, this is a 1140 00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:31,720 Speaker 3: get right spot for the Eagles. 1141 00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,560 Speaker 1: Don't love laying twelve, but I don't think I don't 1142 00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,120 Speaker 1: think this is a spot where you want to try 1143 00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:39,240 Speaker 1: to back the Giants here. 1144 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 3: The Eagles have been just a brutal gauntlet of matchups. 1145 00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,439 Speaker 1: Now they get a division opponent that they they know well, 1146 00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:50,000 Speaker 1: even though the quarterback is different, and that they trounced 1147 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,440 Speaker 1: what three times, well twice last year and then I 1148 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 1: think they played in Week seventeen. So yeah, I would 1149 00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:56,160 Speaker 1: lean Eagles here. 1150 00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:56,880 Speaker 3: What about you? 1151 00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Eagles or nothing? This is you know, you'll get 1152 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,800 Speaker 2: their best step here Christmas Day. The crowd, the D 1153 00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,480 Speaker 2: line can dominate this game. Giants won't be able to 1154 00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,080 Speaker 2: run it. I mean passing down.
