0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.880
<v Speaker 3>another song reference Peaches a Herb.

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Sure, Peaches a Herb are two people.

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 2>Peaches is the girl Herbs the guy.

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 4>Quite quite possibly the worst rendition of that song I've

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 4>ever heard, and I've heard some really bad one.

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, all right, Well, off with the bang here Gil.

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:06.000
<v Speaker 2>The tennis pods and the baseball pods are things that

0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:07.839
<v Speaker 2>we do during the off season, but it's all about

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. The megapod will begin this coming Thursday, which

<v Speaker 2>NFL prev before that from the d with these two gentlemen.

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for doing this, guys, I appreciate it very much.

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 2>It's a Friday morning and it's raining outside. What better

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 2>thing to do than talk football? Can you think of

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 2>anything that's right?

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 1>I cannot not pickleball in the rain, that's for sure.

0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just don't find it interesting. I know you

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:45.960
<v Speaker 2>love pickleball. You're still playing as much as you used to?

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Are you still? Are you still?

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not?

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 4>So I'm trying to get good at the golf. I'm

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.640
<v Speaker 4>trying to get good at the golf. So that takes

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 4>a lot of time, by the.

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Way, a lot before we get into football. We may

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.880
<v Speaker 2>have broker to deal. I just want to suggest this

0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.279
<v Speaker 2>for everybody who listens to Primetime Action in the past

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 2>and know that people that know that Matt Brown has

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 2>not kicked to this field goal or this field goal,

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 2>two field goals, two field goals that he was supposed

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>to do two years ago and still hasn't done it

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 2>as a result of a bed at least two years ago. Matt,

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 2>what is the deal you are brokering with Kelly?

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 4>This is now all on Kelly's plate. This is all

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:21.959
<v Speaker 4>we have to do. I will go and I will

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 4>do the kicks. But in return, all I need is

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 4>for our friend, the bearded one, Kelly Bidlin, to agree

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 4>to go get spray fan. I just I wanted to

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.799
<v Speaker 4>get spray tanned. I want to he looks like spray tann. Okay,

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 4>and we're going to get these kicks out.

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Of the way.

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 2>And the kicks, just for those who don't know, are

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 2>what did you agree to do?

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Five?

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 4>I have five opportunities to make a forty yarder right footed,

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:47.119
<v Speaker 4>and I have three opportunities to make a twenty one

0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:48.239
<v Speaker 4>yarder left footing.

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you're crazy, first of all. And two this came

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:55.239
<v Speaker 2>up because we were watching college football while Primetime Action

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 2>was on and somebody missed an easy kick and Matt's like,

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.200
<v Speaker 2>I can do that, and you were like, and you

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:00.920
<v Speaker 2>called him on that?

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Yes, no, no, no, they passed on the kick.

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 4>Remember because their kicker got hurt, oh right, and they

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.519
<v Speaker 4>passed on They passed on go on kicking the field

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 4>goal a twenty one yarder and instead decided to go

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 4>for it on like fourth and fourteen or something. And

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, cand the punter really not make a twenty

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 4>one yard field and that's what it was, and that's yeah,

0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 4>And then that's how it all came came to me.

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 2>And here we are two years later, we seven see

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>a kick.

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I have some conditions for this skill. I

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>have some conditions.

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 3>I won an odds boost on my no on the

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:31.920
<v Speaker 3>twenty one and a half yard or with the left foot,

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:33.880
<v Speaker 3>because there's no way that's getting home. And I know

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 3>all the action has been on the nose so far

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 3>of this, so I want an odds boost on that.

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 3>And then Matt better be accompanying me to whatever taming

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 3>salon or whatever that we're going to, because I've never

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 3>been to one in my life.

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 4>I'll be in the booth with you, buddy. Yeah, I'll

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 4>be in the booth with you. Don't don't worry about that.

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 4>I'll be in there with you.

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 3>This took a turn, and then we need a camera obviously,

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 3>so so Isaiah's bringing a camera and Mike.

0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 1>So that's what's going to happen, all right, So that's

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the way NFL.

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 2>That's where that stands. We are six days away from

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of the NFL season, finally, finally the Lions

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>of the Chiefs first Thursday night football game, and I debated, like, Okay,

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 2>how do I want to start a NFL betting preview

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 2>this close to the season. Let's start with a question

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>that I've asked. Kelly knows this on a numbers game

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 2>more often than than not with every guest, which is

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.400
<v Speaker 2>and Matt will start with you, what is your most

0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 2>off market, off consensus viewpoint of this season backed by

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 2>a bet.

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I guess that it's kind of sort of

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.040
<v Speaker 4>at least adjacent to all of this. Mine is that

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.039
<v Speaker 4>I think the forty nine ers have a real chance

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 4>to be like mediocre this season, and I'm kind of

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 4>backed that up just by a Seahawks future.

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I have.

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 4>I have a Seahawks to win that division. I have

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 4>a Pete Carroll to win Coach of the Year. I

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 4>have different things like that. I mean, for me, I

0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 4>understand it is a loaded roster on both sides, of all,

0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 4>I do get all of that, but it is still

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.440
<v Speaker 4>the most important position in all of the NFL, and

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 4>that's the quarterback position. And I don't have a ton

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 4>of confidence that Brock Party is going to be able

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:07.840
<v Speaker 4>to replicate what we saw last year. I mean, this

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 4>is a guy that wasn't even supposed to.

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Be on the team.

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 4>Really, I mean, like when you're drafted that like, you're

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 4>not even supposed to be on the team. You're not

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 4>supposed to make the roster, You're supposed to be on

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 4>the practice squad. So teams didn't have any game plan

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 4>for this dude. They didn't have any tape on this guy.

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 4>They were not familiar in the least bit with Brock Party.

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.479
<v Speaker 4>And I guarantee you as we head into this season,

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 4>they're very familiar with brock Party now in any tendencies

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 4>that he may have shown in college or anything that

0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.280
<v Speaker 4>he was doing during last season that was working, that

0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.839
<v Speaker 4>that has been figured out at this point. And so

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 4>I am a bit skeptical that brock Party is going

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.640
<v Speaker 4>to be able to replicate what we saw last year,

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 4>And in turn, I think that that could have this

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.160
<v Speaker 4>team being far, like far far under expectation.

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 1>And with that, I'm back in the Seahawks in that division.

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.600
<v Speaker 3>So Matt, real quick, does that mean you don't do

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:51.599
<v Speaker 3>you think they should have.

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Dealt Trey Lance?

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 4>I actually thought they didn't have a good option in general, right,

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 4>I mean, like I don't think. I mean, I think

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 4>it's just a bad kind of trio and they went

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:02.159
<v Speaker 4>with what they feel is.

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:03.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, you go with what's most comfortable, right.

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 4>The guy came in and he played decent last season,

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.920
<v Speaker 4>so they're gonna go with with what worked for him.

0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I mean it's a for me.

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 4>I like, I really like what Seattle brings to the

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 4>table anyway. And then couple that with the fact that

0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 4>I think that the forty nine ers would be down

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 4>a little bit. So I think that's the most controversial decision,

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 4>especially considering the Niners are what third or fourth when

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 4>it comes to to Super Bowl odds?

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Sure, what did you get the Seahawks to win the

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 2>division at one number?

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? So it's like, way way early.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 4>I was talking to Kelly about this like a couple

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 4>of weeks ago, So I mean I got an absurd

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 4>number like four seventy five or something like that, But

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 4>it was like, right, when they first opened and all that. So,

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:37.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean at the current number, I don't know if

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.280
<v Speaker 4>I would be loving it as much because I think

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 4>it's down to like one ninety now or something one

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:42.479
<v Speaker 4>ninety five than that.

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's not so off market now. I the one thing,

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 2>and I no one loved the Niners more than I

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 2>did last year. I backed it up with bets and

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:53.919
<v Speaker 2>obviously the uh, the the actual you know disaster that

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 2>was the playoff game where Perdy got hurt and that

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Josh Johnson got hurt. I will say this, even even

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 2>through his undefeat, did stretch seven and zero down the

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 2>stretch with brock Purty mystery relevant. He threw so many

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 2>passes that should have been picked. We Todd Wisham and

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:11.720
<v Speaker 2>I call it, you know, the football equivalent. It's just

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>a babit. Oh yeah, we call what interceptions that should

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 2>have happened. I think Pro Football Focus backs this up

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 2>with actual numbers that he threw. Yes, is that right, Matt, Yes,

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 2>turnover worthy plays, turnover worthy place itch, Yeah, interceptions that

0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 2>should have happened. So and we'll see, we'll see.

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 3>That Seahawks number by real quick has swung back up

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 3>it and is plus two thirty over a draft over

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 3>at Draftking, so maybe a little bit more back into

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 3>beedible ranger.

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:38.960
<v Speaker 2>People before before he gets a Kelly's answer to this

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 2>question how many teams? Because because it then calls to mind, okay,

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:46.560
<v Speaker 2>how many good teams are there actually in the NFC,

0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 2>which will be a theme of this, which is obviously

0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:54.920
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles, Niners, Cowboys. I guess in some order, if

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 2>I if I took away those three teams, who's the

0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:00.240
<v Speaker 2>next best team in the NFC? I guess you would

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 2>say the Seahawks.

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 4>Then I would say the Seahawks. But then after the Seahawks,

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 4>I think if there's a precipitous drop off like at

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 4>that point, like it wouldn't surprise me at all. If

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 4>and I'm being serious and I'm even including the Bucks

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 4>in this conversation, like it wouldn't be surprised me if

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 4>any of the four teams won the NFC South, right,

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 4>like at all?

0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>That Like that wouldn't surprise me at all. If you

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>look in the East.

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 4>If you told me that the Giants under day ball

0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 4>and bringing in Waller and like having happy and healthy

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 4>Danny Dimes and Saquon Barkley, if they got the playoffs again.

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:33.440
<v Speaker 4>Like I mean, I think there's a lot of this

0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:36.480
<v Speaker 4>stuff where I wouldn't be surprised in the NFC at all.

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 4>But I think there's a pretty big drop off from

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 4>that point as far as confidence level anyway.

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Because Kelly and I have talked about this at varying

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.559
<v Speaker 2>points during a numbers game, which is when people are

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 2>considering yes, no playoff bets. The AFC is obviously stacked,

0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.439
<v Speaker 2>but the NFC, no matter how you slice it, I

0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 2>guess the one team we can throw to the side

0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 2>is Arizona. They're the one team that you couldn't you

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.960
<v Speaker 2>couldn't justify a yes bet on. But for the other

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 2>fifteen teams, if you said you were going to bet

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 2>them yes to make the playoffs, like I couldn't laugh

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 2>at you, right, because there's a path for all of them.

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 3>I think I'm there on the RAMS these days too.

0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:10.199
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I could better.

0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:14.719
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I might be with you too, Yeah, yeah, I

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 4>think the RAMS might end up being kind of fire

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 4>sale territory as we get to towards the trade deadline,

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 4>they need to break it down to build it back up.

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 4>So but outside of that, I agree with this with

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 4>the statement that you just said, like any of these

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 4>other teams, could you know, again, could Jordan Love actually

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:30.240
<v Speaker 4>be good the Packers?

0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 1>He could? Could Could this hype around the Bears and

0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>all that be true? It could? You know?

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 4>And listen, I don't think that it's out of the

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 4>realm of possibility for the Commanders to to, you know,

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 4>find something under Sam Hall and those skilled position players

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 4>that they have.

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:45.200
<v Speaker 1>And listen.

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's gonna be some regression to the meme, but

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 4>are we really sitting here going to say that the

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 4>Vikings can't make the playoffs and out of the NFC North.

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like, you know, it's this, this, These are

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 2>such great points. That Vikings point is great because it

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 2>does become like sports casting one oh one for people

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 2>to immediately say, oh my god, they won so many

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.679
<v Speaker 2>close games, and then the next the way that our

0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 2>brains are wired. The next thought means, so therefore the

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 2>pendulum must swing completely to the other end, right, and

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 2>there's no guarantee of that happening none at all. We

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 2>say this for baseball pitchers or whatever. It might regress

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 2>some it doesn't mean that it's going to go the

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.520
<v Speaker 2>completely opposite way. So I'm totally with you on that.

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 2>The uh, I think Sam Howell might actually be really good.

0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.120
<v Speaker 2>And the Jordan Love point, which I've made a million

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.040
<v Speaker 2>times on the radio side, but I haven't on this

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.840
<v Speaker 2>podcast obviously. The summer is Kelly's sick and tired of

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:36.200
<v Speaker 2>hearing this. When we were kids, these quarterbacks got to

0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.480
<v Speaker 2>hold the clipboard, as we used to say, for years,

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.680
<v Speaker 2>and when they got to hold the clipboard under the

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 2>same coaching staff. And I'll use Washington again as my

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 2>favorite example because that's the one I grew up on.

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 2>If you got to do that more often than not,

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 2>you turned out really good. Mark Rippen did that. He

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 2>ended up being a Super Bowl MVP. Stan Humphries ended

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:54.679
<v Speaker 2>up doing that. He ended up going to the Super

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Bowl with the Chargers quarterbacking them there. Trent Green held

0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 2>one for years, he ended up who knows if it

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.080
<v Speaker 2>for his injury. Maybe he runs the Greatest Show on

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Turf instead of Kurt Warner. So Jordan Love might actually

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:09.320
<v Speaker 2>end up really good because he's been under the same

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 2>coaching staff, he's been under the tutelage of a Hall

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.280
<v Speaker 2>of Famer, and for Packers bets, the way that I

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:17.960
<v Speaker 2>chose to do it. We'll get to I didn't mean

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 2>to get to this first, but I ended up betting

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.080
<v Speaker 2>them by proxy with Matt Lafleur's Coach of the Year

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 2>at almost sixteen to one, because I figured if they're

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:29.520
<v Speaker 2>any good, that's maybe the path to take. He's pretty

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.160
<v Speaker 2>much a good call for Coach of the Year.

0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I think I should probably be adding on

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.680
<v Speaker 3>to that one because the way that I chose to

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 3>bet that, And I think you could think the same

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 3>way in the NFC South too, Matt.

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.719
<v Speaker 1>I think we you and I have discussed this a

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 1>little bit, but the.

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.280
<v Speaker 3>Like I did a small bet on the Packers to

0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 3>win the division because Jordan loves such an unknown, right,

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 3>I do think there is a I think this is

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.720
<v Speaker 3>a team that can have a pretty high ceiling, but like,

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.680
<v Speaker 3>if he sucks, this floor could be pretty low, right,

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 3>So I'd rather take a swing on it on a

0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:59.840
<v Speaker 3>just for them to win the division when I do

0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.320
<v Speaker 3>think the division is more up for grabs than what

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 3>the odds indicate, more so than betting one of those

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 3>yes yes to make the playoffs, right, I do think

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 3>there is a reality where they missed the playoffs completely.

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.760
<v Speaker 3>So I think that's a way to think about it.

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 3>NFC North end, NFC South a little bit. And if

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 3>you could tie in, yeah, a Coach of the Year

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 3>or something like that, I think that's a great way.

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Are we comfortable with hill distance between us? Are we

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:22.439
<v Speaker 2>liking this? We like this distance?

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, we'll have to see you on Monday when I

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 1>have to start talking to the crew too.

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, justil to put a bow on your point, right.

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 4>It's like, and we actually mentioned this back in the

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 4>primetime Action Days whatever. It's like Joe Burrow and Justin

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:39.440
<v Speaker 4>Herbert broke our thinking about quarterbacks as young guys like

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.840
<v Speaker 4>they So everyone thinks you're just supposed to step in

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 4>and be all pro and like basically start, you know,

0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:46.160
<v Speaker 4>getting the bus ready for the Hall of Fame. And

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 4>it's like, that's just not how it used to happen, right,

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 4>It's not how it used to work. And you look

0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 4>at some of these guys, and certainly the packers' organization

0:12:54.000 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 4>thought enough of Jordan Love to trade back up into

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 4>the first round to come get this dude. And yeah,

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.640
<v Speaker 4>they still had Aaron Rodgers, so they're not gonna have

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 4>They're gonna play him over Aaron Rodgers. But I mean,

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 4>you still have an asset here that they that they value.

0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:08.840
<v Speaker 4>So to think that he can't be a good quarterback

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 4>just because he didn't play immediately is pretty wild. And

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.000
<v Speaker 4>listen and even the Sam House situation, right, I mean,

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.160
<v Speaker 4>like he he is a guy that was highly thought of.

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:18.320
<v Speaker 1>It just had a down seat.

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:20.200
<v Speaker 4>He had a down season, you know, in his last

0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.600
<v Speaker 4>season in college. But had he come out the year before,

0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:25.040
<v Speaker 4>he would have been a borderline first rounder. So I mean, like,

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 4>there are these guys that it's just because they didn't

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 4>start immediately and play immediately and go out and wow

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:33.319
<v Speaker 4>everybody immediately, that does not mean that they can't have

0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:34.800
<v Speaker 4>success in in the NFL.

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.079
<v Speaker 2>Totally totally agree. We Uh, we tend to be a

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:42.840
<v Speaker 2>pretty reactionary, pretty short term, reactionary kind of uh sports fan,

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, group of people to begin with as American

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.400
<v Speaker 2>sports fans and as betters. That'll get you in trouble.

0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.320
<v Speaker 2>The same question for you, Kelly, what what do you

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 2>believe is the bet that you have that is the

0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 2>most off consensus, the most contrarian if.

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 3>You well, according to the the vs In NFL Betting Guide,

0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 3>where I'm heads up on this bet with.

0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 1>With multiple people, with everybody.

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.240
<v Speaker 3>I guess, I guess it's the Steelers under nine wins

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 3>where I am under nine on Steelers.

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Are you aware of any Steelers stats that I might

0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 2>be able to share with you? No?

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 1>What you got?

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I am told that Mike Tomlin has never had a

0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 2>losing season.

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh never mind, let's just said at this Poddle leaf

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 3>net right, I'm going to guess, and look, do I

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 3>think the Steelers. There's so much of this And this

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 3>is why you led with the NFC conversation with the yes,

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 3>no playoffs, because whether you could find one, two, three

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 3>teams in the NFC where you could get a nice

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 3>plus price on making the playoffs that we know we're

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 3>gonna hit, we just don't know which teams they are, right, Okay,

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 3>the AFC's jam packed. This is this is not so

0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 3>much a complete fate of the Steelers, of more of

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 3>this the reality of what is this conference and what

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 3>is that division? And yes, I am a guy who

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:53.960
<v Speaker 3>is my opinion hasn't changed at all. In the Bengals,

0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 3>I think they're gonna be right there competing for a

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Super Bowl this year. And I think the Ravens are

0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 3>gonna be better, and I think the Browns are gonna

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.840
<v Speaker 3>be better. So the they're stuck in the division where

0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 3>I just think by default they're gonna be coming in

0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 3>last place, and ask them to get a get not

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 3>only to a winning season, because at least I've got

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 3>that nine as a push, not only get to a winnings,

0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 3>to get that ten wins for me to get beat,

0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 3>for them to go ten and seven, I think is

0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.640
<v Speaker 3>asking a lot for a team that, Yes, do I

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 3>expect them to be better to I expect can you

0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.440
<v Speaker 3>pigot Naji G Harrison these guys to get a little

0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 3>bit better?

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I just think we're asking.

0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:27.280
<v Speaker 3>A ton of this team to hit that ten win

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.240
<v Speaker 3>mork in this division and in this conference in which

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.080
<v Speaker 3>they play. And so that is my most contrarian bet

0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 3>for sure.

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go now with mine. As I'm about to

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 2>spit it out, I'm realizing I'm contradicting myself in a

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.680
<v Speaker 2>little way because I just got through talking about how

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 2>the Vikings doesn't mean that all of those close wins

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 2>is gonna immediately turn into they're gonna lose all those

0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm alternate low regular season win total on the Giants.

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:53.440
<v Speaker 2>I bet under six and a half at plus one

0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 2>eighty five. And part of my thinking is contrary to

0:15:57.800 --> 0:16:00.240
<v Speaker 2>what I just said about the Vikings, is they aid

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 2>so well between you know, in the red zone last year,

0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.440
<v Speaker 2>both offensively and defensively. Between the twenties they were got awful,

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:11.880
<v Speaker 2>especially on defense, but they were absolutely balls out great

0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:15.360
<v Speaker 2>in high leverage situations that allowed them quite frankly, I

0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:17.680
<v Speaker 2>think Brian Dabole won a Coach of the Year award

0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.000
<v Speaker 2>largely based on those high leverage situations for the Giants,

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 2>and they were able to win a lot of them.

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 2>By the way, they were eight and four in one

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 2>score games. So even if you say, okay, well maybe

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.440
<v Speaker 2>that goes to six and six, whatever it is, it

0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 2>was really their performance on the field for most of

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 2>that You when they when they went out to the

0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 2>seven and one record, I believe it was seven and one.

0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.760
<v Speaker 2>That's what their hallmark was. So, you know, does that

0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 2>happen is it? Does that mean that it's gonna change

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.880
<v Speaker 2>this year? I believe it will to some degree, and

0:16:45.920 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 2>I think with their schedule there is a path where

0:16:48.640 --> 0:16:51.120
<v Speaker 2>this really goes bad for them early. It's not quite

0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.800
<v Speaker 2>as bad as the Jets early schedule, which is just

0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.320
<v Speaker 2>the gauntlet of all gauntlets early in the year. But

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I got the Giants alternate low regular season win total

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.240
<v Speaker 2>here at circa understand and a half plus one eighty five,

0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:04.439
<v Speaker 2>And I think that's as contrarian as I get in

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.040
<v Speaker 2>terms of my preseason. Are there any picks? Are there

0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:11.159
<v Speaker 2>any bets you've made, Matt, that you've that you've made,

0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:13.720
<v Speaker 2>and you're already having doubts about.

0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 4>Uh not really Like I so, I mean a couple

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.920
<v Speaker 4>of minor are fairly chalky that I got in there.

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.719
<v Speaker 4>I mean, Eagles to win the East, Jags to win

0:17:25.800 --> 0:17:27.879
<v Speaker 4>the South, you know, like like I've got that stuff

0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:30.880
<v Speaker 4>in there. I did go in pretty hard, I guess

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.199
<v Speaker 4>early on the Vikings to win the NFC North. And

0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:34.919
<v Speaker 4>maybe if that was one that's in the account that

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:39.680
<v Speaker 4>maybe I'm questioning just a tad But honestly, I'm I'm

0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:41.480
<v Speaker 4>not like buying in that, like this is just the

0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:43.760
<v Speaker 4>Lions Division, no matter what, right I'm I'm not kind

0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:45.560
<v Speaker 4>of like, I'm not like getting there on that, Like

0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 4>it seems like everybody wants to just hand this over

0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 4>to Dan Campbell and and this Lions team, and like

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:51.800
<v Speaker 4>I guess, Gil, you and I are old enough to

0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:54.720
<v Speaker 4>remember that their quarterback is still Jared Goff. Yeah, like one,

0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.919
<v Speaker 4>and like one good season isn't gonna like make me

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.119
<v Speaker 4>just like completely forget about the other terrible seasons with

0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:03.600
<v Speaker 4>Jared Goff and all his bad decision making and all

0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.119
<v Speaker 4>the stuff that he's done along the way. So I

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:07.920
<v Speaker 4>have the Vikings for the North, and it was a

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:09.479
<v Speaker 4>little bit of a price play. I just thought it

0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.679
<v Speaker 4>was a little absurd that the Viking that the Lions

0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:14.639
<v Speaker 4>were just so heavily favored in that division. So I

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:16.159
<v Speaker 4>don't know, I mean, I guess maybe that one, but

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:18.520
<v Speaker 4>I don't have a ton that I'm really regretting.

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's good. Let me just seizon the Jaguars one,

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:22.600
<v Speaker 2>because I know Kelly has that as well. The Jags

0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:24.720
<v Speaker 2>to win the AFC South, and you guys obviously got

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.800
<v Speaker 2>better numbers than exist now. But for those listening and

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.679
<v Speaker 2>are like, oh wait, how high, Like what would you

0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:33.280
<v Speaker 2>lay on that? Because they're obviously in a division with

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 2>the Texans, with the Titans, with the Colts, and obviously

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.399
<v Speaker 2>the Colts have had an off season drama with Jonathan Taylor.

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 2>He's at least out for the first four weeks, if

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.879
<v Speaker 2>not more, they appear. I mean, we talk about, Okay,

0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:49.160
<v Speaker 2>in the NFC, it's you know, whatever order you like, Eagles, Niners.

0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:51.159
<v Speaker 2>Maybe you throw in the Cowboys, maybe you throw in

0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:58.200
<v Speaker 2>the s AFC Chiefs, Bills, obviously the Bengals at the top,

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.280
<v Speaker 2>and then you'll throw in the Charges. This is the

0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.199
<v Speaker 2>year where Kelly actually is going is making Chargers bets

0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:07.760
<v Speaker 2>to say that, guys, But like, the Jags actually have

0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:10.879
<v Speaker 2>this path as much as you think, and the Jags

0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 2>aren't in that tier. They're in such an easy division,

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.920
<v Speaker 2>which is obviously six games right there, and then they

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:18.680
<v Speaker 2>have you know, it's one of the easier schedules in

0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:22.040
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. Couldn't they end up? Like if I came

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:23.080
<v Speaker 2>to you at the end of the season for the

0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:24.520
<v Speaker 2>future and I said, guess what the Jags had the

0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:28.359
<v Speaker 2>best record in the NFL, would you think I'm I'm ridiculous.

0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, absolutely, it could happen.

0:19:30.880 --> 0:19:33.479
<v Speaker 4>There is a minus. There are minus one fifty fives available.

0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:35.520
<v Speaker 4>There's it's minus one fifty five still in draft kings

0:19:35.600 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 4>right now. That that's about a sixty percent, right, sixty

0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.119
<v Speaker 4>sixty one is sixty two so like whatever sixty is

0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 4>percentage something like that for them to win. I think

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.680
<v Speaker 4>they win this sixty percent of the time very very

0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:47.879
<v Speaker 4>very often. I think they win this like seventy percent

0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:50.000
<v Speaker 4>of the time very often. So I think the minus

0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:53.120
<v Speaker 4>one fifty five is still it's still a really good

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.040
<v Speaker 4>number on this team, because again, if the only threat

0:19:56.320 --> 0:19:59.320
<v Speaker 4>is the Titans, and I think we can all comfortably

0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:01.240
<v Speaker 4>feel like the own threat is going to be the Titans,

0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.399
<v Speaker 4>there's going to be some growing pains for Anthony Richardson.

0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:06.879
<v Speaker 4>We know that this Texas team, while not completely devoid

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.359
<v Speaker 4>of talent, it's a lot of young dudes, right Like,

0:20:09.400 --> 0:20:11.919
<v Speaker 4>so they'll probably be decent next year and maybe that

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:14.560
<v Speaker 4>third year of CJ. Stroud they can actually kind of

0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:16.080
<v Speaker 4>look and try to get into the playoffs.

0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:17.480
<v Speaker 1>But it's not going to be this year.

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.200
<v Speaker 4>And so if the only threat is the Titans, they

0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:24.280
<v Speaker 4>have absolutely no financial commitment to Ryan Tannehill after this season.

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.520
<v Speaker 4>If they look up and this team is like it's

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:28.280
<v Speaker 4>kind of like coming off the rails a little bit.

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:30.760
<v Speaker 4>Why wouldn't you go to Will Levis You already you

0:20:30.840 --> 0:20:31.880
<v Speaker 4>drafted him in the second round.

0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Why wouldn't you like make a switch.

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:35.560
<v Speaker 4>And like go ahead, and and if that's the case,

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:37.760
<v Speaker 4>then he's gonna have growing pains in those final five

0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.119
<v Speaker 4>six games of the year whenever they decide to play him,

0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:44.119
<v Speaker 4>whatever that might be. Does it go really bad early

0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:46.159
<v Speaker 4>on and you realize, hey, we need to break this

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 4>down and you try to get whatever you can get

0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.920
<v Speaker 4>in return for Derrick Henry. There's just a lot of

0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.280
<v Speaker 4>ways for this to kind of go south, I think

0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:56.280
<v Speaker 4>for this division outside of the Jags, who again are

0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 4>going for it, right, I mean we know that for sure,

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.719
<v Speaker 4>like this is they're going for this year, and so

0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.080
<v Speaker 4>I think one five is still a very bedable number

0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:04.760
<v Speaker 4>for them in the South.

0:21:04.800 --> 0:21:07.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's a great number. Yeah, fifty five, Yeah, it's not.

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, one fifty five still around. I was just trying,

0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:11.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, trying to think what number would I go

0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:11.679
<v Speaker 3>up to.

0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think one's seventy.

0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.439
<v Speaker 3>What what's seventy you're talking about apply probability of sixty

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:17.000
<v Speaker 3>three percent.

0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm with Matt. I think that it's the I think.

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:23.760
<v Speaker 3>There's a sixty five seventy percent chance these this team

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.600
<v Speaker 3>wins that division. It's we look at it a lot.

0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:28.960
<v Speaker 3>I look at it a lot like We've talked about

0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:31.280
<v Speaker 3>this before sometimes with golf, Matt, where it's it's the

0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:33.960
<v Speaker 3>I can cross two teams off almost right away.

0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.479
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know with the Texans and with the Colts.

0:21:36.520 --> 0:21:39.879
<v Speaker 3>So I'm playing a head to head matchup with the

0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Tennessee Titans.

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:42.199
<v Speaker 1>And there are I.

0:21:42.240 --> 0:21:44.960
<v Speaker 3>Mean, through the whole list of things that Matt just

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:47.240
<v Speaker 3>talked about, which is yes, a large part of the bet.

0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:48.919
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Tannehill still just sucks.

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:50.719
<v Speaker 3>So, like you know, if they want to have a

0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 3>if they want to have a mediocre five hundred team

0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:56.879
<v Speaker 3>and stick together with that core down the stretch, go ahead.

0:21:56.920 --> 0:22:00.000
<v Speaker 3>I still don't think you're beating the Jaguars in that division.

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:03.680
<v Speaker 3>And look, Jaggs out of divisions, out of division schedule

0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:06.280
<v Speaker 3>is not easy, Like you know, they had to make

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.200
<v Speaker 3>that pretty tough with them having won it last year.

0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:11.919
<v Speaker 1>But you pick up at least you pick up a

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:12.840
<v Speaker 1>couple of those wins.

0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Man, I think this Jags team that's my favorite bet

0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:18.760
<v Speaker 3>uh so far this offseason is Jackson win that.

0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 2>You have one, you regret one.

0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:23.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I'm gonna go regret, but I'm

0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 3>feeling way way less comfortable about would be my would

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:29.840
<v Speaker 3>be my small shot on Panthers to win the division

0:22:30.119 --> 0:22:32.399
<v Speaker 3>in the NFC South, because I will say Matt kind

0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:32.919
<v Speaker 3>of hinted on this.

0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I think early on. I'm coming around a little bit.

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 3>We talked a little bit about this on a numbers

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 3>game yesterday we went through week one lines. I'm coming

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:43.800
<v Speaker 3>around a little bit on the I think there could

0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:48.200
<v Speaker 3>be some value in betting the Bucks early. And yes,

0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:50.560
<v Speaker 3>is there a chance they trade off some pieces or

0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:53.560
<v Speaker 3>something down the road. Yeah, But if you're gonna hang

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:56.800
<v Speaker 3>big plus numbers for them early, they still have some

0:22:56.880 --> 0:22:58.960
<v Speaker 3>talent there that that I think I can get the

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.240
<v Speaker 3>job done if I'm getting so I'm catching a touchdown

0:23:01.240 --> 0:23:04.199
<v Speaker 3>plus in games early on. So I'm not betting them

0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:07.800
<v Speaker 3>in the futures market. But I guess maybe the Panthers

0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:09.800
<v Speaker 3>I would have dialed back the bet on a little bit,

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:10.920
<v Speaker 3>but that would.

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Be the only one.

0:23:11.640 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 4>And Gil one nice point on the Jags, just like

0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:15.639
<v Speaker 4>their win total sitting at nine and a half, but

0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 4>it's juiced to like minus one forty on the over.

0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 4>I would just rather play them to win the division

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:23.280
<v Speaker 4>and pay the extra fifteen cents because like as bad

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 4>as I think the other three teams are going to

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:27.240
<v Speaker 4>be could they win this division at nine and eight?

0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely right, And so it's only like fifteen more cents

0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:32.119
<v Speaker 4>to get them to win the division.

0:23:32.240 --> 0:23:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather just go that way than to bet them

0:23:34.040 --> 0:23:34.919
<v Speaker 1>over on the win total.

0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Have you bet any awards markets?

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:39.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:43.720
<v Speaker 4>So I did bet Old Pete Carroll for Coach of

0:23:43.720 --> 0:23:46.119
<v Speaker 4>the Year. And this is just again on my affinity

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:48.880
<v Speaker 4>I think for the Seahawks team kind of up and down.

0:23:48.920 --> 0:23:50.800
<v Speaker 4>If you look at their roster and what they were

0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:54.360
<v Speaker 4>able to accomplish last year, their roster's better on both

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:56.359
<v Speaker 4>sides of the ball this year for sure. The addition

0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:58.879
<v Speaker 4>of Jackson Smith and Jigba don't I know, you know,

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:01.280
<v Speaker 4>because we kind of follow that stuff more heavily. But

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:03.920
<v Speaker 4>for the people out there that don't follow college football

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:06.719
<v Speaker 4>as as much as far as talent goes, what this

0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:08.639
<v Speaker 4>guy is going to bring to this offense and what

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:12.240
<v Speaker 4>he might open up for DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:14.600
<v Speaker 4>as well, there really is gonna be no excuse on

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:15.680
<v Speaker 4>the offensive side of the ball.

0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Really just going to be on the defense.

0:24:17.119 --> 0:24:20.200
<v Speaker 4>And you look and they it's not the legion of boom,

0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:23.240
<v Speaker 4>but they drafted very very well on defense and they've

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:26.240
<v Speaker 4>got like some young guys that were really really good

0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:28.200
<v Speaker 4>last year and now they've got a year of experience.

0:24:28.240 --> 0:24:31.480
<v Speaker 4>They go in, they draft Witherspoon at corner, who I

0:24:31.520 --> 0:24:34.040
<v Speaker 4>thought was an absolute stud coming out this year as well.

0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:36.560
<v Speaker 4>I think that this is a I think this is

0:24:36.600 --> 0:24:39.359
<v Speaker 4>a team that can really take that next step. And

0:24:39.400 --> 0:24:41.199
<v Speaker 4>that's what they do in these Coach of the Year awards,

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:43.840
<v Speaker 4>right It's like that it's the team that really takes

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:46.920
<v Speaker 4>the next step, like you're never gonna get like it

0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:48.280
<v Speaker 4>would take the a.

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs or an Eagles or whatever.

0:24:50.400 --> 0:24:52.080
<v Speaker 4>Like they'd have to go sixteen to one or seventeen

0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:54.440
<v Speaker 4>and zero for Andy Reid or to win the Coach

0:24:54.440 --> 0:24:56.320
<v Speaker 4>of the Year because they're expected to do super well.

0:24:56.320 --> 0:24:59.399
<v Speaker 4>It's usually these teams that kind of take that next jump.

0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:01.840
<v Speaker 4>And so like a nine win Seahawks team, if they

0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:04.600
<v Speaker 4>can come out and win eleven or twelve games and

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:07.160
<v Speaker 4>maybe even win that division over the forty nine ers,

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:10.080
<v Speaker 4>I think that's gonna put Pete Carroll squarely in the discussion.

0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:12.200
<v Speaker 4>And he's so long gil right now, you can find

0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 4>like twenty five, twenty eight, thirty to one, like you

0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:18.480
<v Speaker 4>really only need him to kind of get head to

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:20.199
<v Speaker 4>head with another coach, and then you can lock in

0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:22.080
<v Speaker 4>a profit no matter what, right. And so it's like

0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:24.480
<v Speaker 4>if you as long as they play it down to

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:26.800
<v Speaker 4>where it's basically gonna be him and somebody else with

0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:28.480
<v Speaker 4>that long number, you're gonna be able to lock in

0:25:28.480 --> 0:25:30.399
<v Speaker 4>a nice little chunk of change as it is. So

0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:32.800
<v Speaker 4>I do have Pete Carroll in there and feel pretty

0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:33.240
<v Speaker 4>good about it.

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:35.560
<v Speaker 2>Actually, seventy one year old Pete Carroll.

0:25:35.600 --> 0:25:38.040
<v Speaker 3>By the way, I know, Seahawks Week one was actually

0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:40.520
<v Speaker 3>a bet I was getting ready to make after that

0:25:40.600 --> 0:25:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Cooper Cup news came down yesterday.

0:25:42.600 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 1>It looks like his reaggravated hamstring injury a.

0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:47.879
<v Speaker 3>Little bit but news coming down today as well, No

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:50.560
<v Speaker 3>Jabal Adams, he's been already been ruled out for Week one,

0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:54.880
<v Speaker 3>and then Witherspoon hamstring unlikely to play week one as well.

0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:57.199
<v Speaker 3>Just a little bit of Seahawks injury news as I

0:25:57.200 --> 0:25:59.240
<v Speaker 3>saw that earlier today. So I don't know, I'm a

0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:01.240
<v Speaker 3>little bit more wishy on that, but I was getting

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:03.040
<v Speaker 3>I was finally getting ready to make a week one bet,

0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:04.120
<v Speaker 3>and I saw that come down.

0:26:04.720 --> 0:26:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Kelly and I were doing Week one. We just went

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.560
<v Speaker 2>through each game and I ask a questions on the

0:26:08.560 --> 0:26:10.200
<v Speaker 2>magapot every week, you know, what game do you want

0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:12.280
<v Speaker 2>no part of? Like half the schedule, we want no

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:13.640
<v Speaker 2>part of Gon Already.

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:17.320
<v Speaker 4>I take it easy in Week one as it is anyway,

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:20.720
<v Speaker 4>right because it's kind of like I've taken my positions

0:26:20.760 --> 0:26:23.640
<v Speaker 4>on teams that I really like with typically with preseason

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:25.800
<v Speaker 4>bets as it is anyway, so like I don't feel

0:26:25.840 --> 0:26:28.040
<v Speaker 4>the need to kind of like immediately rush in and

0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 4>double down on like the unknown, like having not seen

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:33.600
<v Speaker 4>these teams actually play real football yet. So it's like, yeah,

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:35.600
<v Speaker 4>I've already kind of like taken my position on the

0:26:35.680 --> 0:26:38.400
<v Speaker 4>Jags and taken my position on the Eagles and all

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:41.439
<v Speaker 4>the things like that, and so I'm okay with with

0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:43.280
<v Speaker 4>kind of you know, I'll have one or two, but

0:26:43.359 --> 0:26:45.119
<v Speaker 4>I probably won't have a very big schedule, I mean

0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:47.480
<v Speaker 4>a very big log there for Week one.

0:26:47.560 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Do you do contest or Survivor or anything like that? Man,

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:50.520
<v Speaker 2>do you participate?

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:54.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I got one. I do one millions and I

0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 4>did three Survivor this year, so I'm gonna do one.

0:26:57.800 --> 0:27:01.400
<v Speaker 4>So I look, the first year I did three different millions,

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:03.480
<v Speaker 4>and then last year did two, and then I came

0:27:03.520 --> 0:27:05.680
<v Speaker 4>to the conclusion Gil, and this is gonna hurt.

0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:07.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to. I don't want to hurt. Yeah, yeah,

0:27:07.840 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to.

0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:10.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to offend anybody over there at the

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:12.280
<v Speaker 4>d N Circa and all this and aver like, because

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:13.960
<v Speaker 4>I know you won't people to have more entries, but

0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 4>it's like it's hard enough to find five games every

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:19.520
<v Speaker 4>week that you actually have any sort of confidence level

0:27:19.520 --> 0:27:21.160
<v Speaker 4>and whatsoever. So like I was like, what the hell

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:23.720
<v Speaker 4>am I doing with two and three entries in these things? Like,

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 4>oh what further, why am I doing this?

0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:27:25.920 --> 0:27:28.840
<v Speaker 2>When I when I give the thousand dollars for my millions,

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:31.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm literally like, it's the closest I ever come to

0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:34.239
<v Speaker 2>and here is my donation. But I just it's just

0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I there's no way, I mean, five a week, exactly

0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:42.200
<v Speaker 2>what you said, who has naturally five forget leans even

0:27:42.240 --> 0:27:45.199
<v Speaker 2>best bets on a given week? Uh? And Survivor I

0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:47.280
<v Speaker 2>have a sort of contrary and opinion again to your

0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 2>point of I apologize to Derek Stevens in advance, but

0:27:49.880 --> 0:27:51.920
<v Speaker 2>you know there's a there's a max of ten now

0:27:51.960 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 2>in Survivor. Some people even exceed that by being creative.

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:58.639
<v Speaker 2>I got five last year. I only have five this

0:27:58.720 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 2>year again because I do believe there's a point of

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:05.200
<v Speaker 2>redundancy in Survivor. Like I think if you have exponentially

0:28:05.280 --> 0:28:10.240
<v Speaker 2>more more entries, you just play it the same way

0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:13.119
<v Speaker 2>and you just eliminate them faster. So a lot of

0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 2>people are like, well, there might be some people listening

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:16.200
<v Speaker 2>to this who are like, what are you talking about.

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:18.520
<v Speaker 2>You want to have multiple entries by Thanksgiving? Yes, that

0:28:18.640 --> 0:28:20.960
<v Speaker 2>is the object, But I don't believe it's a function

0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:22.600
<v Speaker 2>of how many you start with. I believe it's a

0:28:22.600 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 2>function of how you play the game. And so I

0:28:24.600 --> 0:28:30.040
<v Speaker 2>think you're just haphazardly spending more money on random extraneous

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:32.840
<v Speaker 2>entries in Survivor, and inevitably there was going to be

0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:35.280
<v Speaker 2>two or three people that have multiple entries come Thanksgiving,

0:28:35.359 --> 0:28:37.679
<v Speaker 2>right right, So I don't know, that's my thought on

0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:39.959
<v Speaker 2>that we'll get to. I just want to throw out

0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:42.600
<v Speaker 2>some bets and you can riff on these two Kelly

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:44.800
<v Speaker 2>after and give yours. I did say I have Matt

0:28:44.840 --> 0:28:46.880
<v Speaker 2>lafleuor Coach of the Year. I believe if Jordan Love

0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 2>is good. I believe if the Packers win that division,

0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Matt Lafleur looks Roses at the departure of Aaron Rodgers,

0:28:53.680 --> 0:28:57.240
<v Speaker 2>first NFL head coach fired, which was available. I don't

0:28:57.240 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 2>know if this was a offshore, if this was a circa.

0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:03.080
<v Speaker 2>I went with Matt Eberflus of the Bears at fifteen

0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 2>to one because I figure, if it doesn't start well

0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:06.800
<v Speaker 2>for the Bears, and I don't know that it will

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 2>or won't, but if it doesn't, I think the heat

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:12.920
<v Speaker 2>will come quickly on him if the Justin Fields thing

0:29:12.960 --> 0:29:18.320
<v Speaker 2>doesn't leap off the ground. Last team to record first win.

0:29:18.360 --> 0:29:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I went a little off the grid. This is sort

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:24.400
<v Speaker 2>of my my NFL draft part. Duh. This was the

0:29:24.400 --> 0:29:27.600
<v Speaker 2>first NFL draft where I got crushed, and much of

0:29:27.640 --> 0:29:31.200
<v Speaker 2>that was They're never gonna draft this short guy number one,

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:34.760
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna draft CJ. Stroud, and so the Panthers obviously

0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 2>did draft Bryce Young and by the way, still short.

0:29:37.640 --> 0:29:39.640
<v Speaker 2>I have last team to record first win the Panthers

0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:41.440
<v Speaker 2>at fifteen to one, because I think there is a

0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:45.560
<v Speaker 2>I think there is a scenario. I'm not I'm not

0:29:45.640 --> 0:29:48.120
<v Speaker 2>buying into it yet. You have some awards and some.

0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Props season I have zero awards. Yes, I have props.

0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 3>I have zero awards, but just talking about them real quick,

0:29:55.120 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 3>I think you guys picked the only market that I

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:01.760
<v Speaker 3>could even consider a bet, and I think that i'd

0:30:01.800 --> 0:30:03.720
<v Speaker 3>probably and I might end up doing to splashing a

0:30:03.720 --> 0:30:07.080
<v Speaker 3>little either, you know, either with the Packers were with

0:30:07.200 --> 0:30:09.160
<v Speaker 3>the Seahawks Coach of the Year. I think you guys

0:30:09.160 --> 0:30:11.440
<v Speaker 3>are thinking the right way. The other one I wanted

0:30:11.440 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 3>to turn the turners around with you guys on though,

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:17.200
<v Speaker 3>do you have any feel or even a lean when

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 3>it comes to MVP, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:23.480
<v Speaker 3>Player of the Year, Offensive Rookie of the Year?

0:30:23.600 --> 0:30:26.120
<v Speaker 2>I think MVP. Just to answer that part, I don't

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:29.160
<v Speaker 2>think there's a bet there because I think the guys

0:30:29.160 --> 0:30:31.240
<v Speaker 2>at the top are exactly who they should be. It's

0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:33.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of my feeling on all the markets, just maybe

0:30:33.760 --> 0:30:35.960
<v Speaker 2>maybe so right like, so you're right because defensive Player

0:30:35.960 --> 0:30:38.120
<v Speaker 2>of the Year, it's what Micah Parsons.

0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:39.440
<v Speaker 1>It's Parsons, Garrett TJ.

0:30:39.560 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Watt, Nick Bo's the usual suspect y right, So I mean,

0:30:43.040 --> 0:30:44.920
<v Speaker 2>if you have conviction on one of the last year

0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:47.080
<v Speaker 2>I had Michael Parsons plus six fifty, I was this

0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:48.960
<v Speaker 2>is the easiest ben in the world. This is gonna

0:30:49.000 --> 0:30:50.680
<v Speaker 2>cast no problem, and then all of a sudden not

0:30:50.760 --> 0:30:53.680
<v Speaker 2>at all, right, Right, So what your point is a

0:30:53.720 --> 0:30:57.920
<v Speaker 2>great one. There are certain markets where yeah, we all

0:30:57.960 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 2>love Patrick Mahomes, but do you really want to bet

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 2>him at what six or seven to one or whatever

0:31:01.920 --> 0:31:04.000
<v Speaker 2>it is seven to one to win MVP. I don't

0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:05.600
<v Speaker 2>know how you feel about what Kelly was saying.

0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Man, yeah, no, it's so I was.

0:31:08.600 --> 0:31:11.440
<v Speaker 4>I did this kind of like bit specifically on Joe Burrow,

0:31:11.440 --> 0:31:13.200
<v Speaker 4>and you'll know that, like nobody loves Joe Burrow more

0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:16.120
<v Speaker 4>than me, but like his number is not going anywhere, right,

0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 4>I mean it's it's like, so, why don't you see

0:31:19.120 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 4>what this calf looks like after a few games and

0:31:22.000 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 4>like cause, I mean, dude, he could like plant one

0:31:24.600 --> 0:31:27.000
<v Speaker 4>time and like that calf injury could it could happen.

0:31:27.000 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean, it just doesn't make a lot of sense

0:31:28.840 --> 0:31:30.800
<v Speaker 4>for me at the top of the board for sure,

0:31:30.840 --> 0:31:34.120
<v Speaker 4>from an MVP standpoint. If you wanted to go way

0:31:34.200 --> 0:31:36.640
<v Speaker 4>further down the line and like take a couple of

0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:39.080
<v Speaker 4>dart throws, I mean, if you wanted to do the

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:41.400
<v Speaker 4>the Geno Smith stuff of the world and the Trevor

0:31:41.480 --> 0:31:42.280
<v Speaker 4>Lawrence stuff.

0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:42.280
<v Speaker 1>In the world.

0:31:42.280 --> 0:31:44.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean, like, I don't hate it, I guess, but

0:31:44.920 --> 0:31:47.440
<v Speaker 4>just not something really for me. I think the only

0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 4>bet that you can assuredly do not make unless you

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:51.720
<v Speaker 4>just want to light the money on. Just send the

0:31:51.760 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 4>money to us and we will put it to better

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:57.280
<v Speaker 4>use is Deshaun Watson MVP, because I can assure you.

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:00.640
<v Speaker 5>I can assure you I got a better I assure you,

0:32:00.760 --> 0:32:03.959
<v Speaker 5>yeah that if this is a human voted award, unless

0:32:03.960 --> 0:32:07.440
<v Speaker 5>he throws for seven thousand yards and seventy five touchdowns,

0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 5>he is not getting MVP.

0:32:09.440 --> 0:32:09.959
<v Speaker 1>Not happening.

0:32:10.000 --> 0:32:10.880
<v Speaker 2>I have a better way for you.

0:32:10.960 --> 0:32:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I heard your money.

0:32:11.720 --> 0:32:15.880
<v Speaker 2>I heard someone advocate Deshaun Watson for Comeback Player of

0:32:15.880 --> 0:32:20.200
<v Speaker 2>the Year, to which I said, oh no, no, no, no,

0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 2>think about what he's coming back from. Could you imagine that? Look, wait,

0:32:24.200 --> 0:32:30.280
<v Speaker 2>what's he coming back from? Uh allegations? Yeah, yeah, yeah, no,

0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:32.280
<v Speaker 2>he's not winning that. By the way, come Back by the.

0:32:32.320 --> 0:32:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Year with sixty to one there and thirty to one MVP,

0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:38.720
<v Speaker 3>I feel like that's accurlate. Actually stop it. At least twice.

0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:40.720
<v Speaker 3>As a bunch of chances when he come.

0:32:40.600 --> 0:32:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Back Comeback Player of the Year, you would have to

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:44.200
<v Speaker 2>add you'd have to add twenty zero.

0:32:44.920 --> 0:32:45.760
<v Speaker 1>There's no way.

0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:48.720
<v Speaker 4>Because at least at least with MVP, he could, he

0:32:48.760 --> 0:32:51.880
<v Speaker 4>could play his way into it the most immaculate season

0:32:52.040 --> 0:32:54.160
<v Speaker 4>in the history of the world, and like if they

0:32:54.160 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 4>didn't vote it for him, then it would just be

0:32:56.160 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 4>like the most obvious snubbing ever or something like that.

0:32:58.360 --> 0:33:00.600
<v Speaker 1>So like he, like I said, he could, he could.

0:33:00.480 --> 0:33:03.959
<v Speaker 4>Throw for sixty five hundred yards and like sixty sixty

0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:06.080
<v Speaker 4>five touchdowns and then it'd be like, you can't, you

0:33:06.120 --> 0:33:08.400
<v Speaker 4>can't not give it to him. But yeah, comeback player,

0:33:08.480 --> 0:33:09.640
<v Speaker 4>no chance, no chance.

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:13.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, these I'm just scrolling down the MVP odds here.

0:33:13.600 --> 0:33:15.080
<v Speaker 2>This is it's not exciting.

0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:19.040
<v Speaker 3>It's becoming tough, because how the hell does Trey Lance

0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:24.920
<v Speaker 3>have shorter odds than Jordan Love, Matthew Stafford, anybody's starting

0:33:25.040 --> 0:33:27.960
<v Speaker 3>in the NFL should have shorter odds than Trey.

0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Lance, but he's in there at fifty to One's third.

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 4>Kelly, you answered, as far as like offensive rookie the year,

0:33:33.760 --> 0:33:35.800
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I think the pricing is pretty accurate on

0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:38.400
<v Speaker 4>Jon Robinson when you looked at like this guy's basically

0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 4>never going to come off the field, and so his

0:33:40.320 --> 0:33:43.520
<v Speaker 4>counting stats, Yeah, are gonna be ridiculous, right, I mean,

0:33:43.600 --> 0:33:45.560
<v Speaker 4>like there when he's not lined up in the backfield

0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:47.400
<v Speaker 4>and they do go without you, Like he's gonna line

0:33:47.440 --> 0:33:49.240
<v Speaker 4>up in the slot and he's gonna play slot receiver.

0:33:49.520 --> 0:33:52.640
<v Speaker 4>It's like he's going to have a ton of catches,

0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:54.840
<v Speaker 4>a ton of receiving yards, a ton of rushing yards.

0:33:55.000 --> 0:33:56.920
<v Speaker 4>He's probably gonna be their goal line guy, so he's

0:33:56.920 --> 0:33:59.280
<v Speaker 4>probably gonna get the counting stats from the from the

0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:01.560
<v Speaker 4>rushing st of g I think betting against him is

0:34:01.560 --> 0:34:02.880
<v Speaker 4>almost just betting on an injury.

0:34:03.880 --> 0:34:06.719
<v Speaker 3>And he's plus two fifty plus two seventy five, you're

0:34:06.720 --> 0:34:08.960
<v Speaker 3>as not betting on that though, right, like plus two

0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:10.239
<v Speaker 3>seventy five running back.

0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's why I think that market is all.

0:34:12.040 --> 0:34:14.360
<v Speaker 4>But like I wanted to take a Yeah, it's like

0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:16.560
<v Speaker 4>if you wanted to take one of the three quarterbacks

0:34:16.600 --> 0:34:18.319
<v Speaker 4>and like just hope that one of them hits, I

0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:19.399
<v Speaker 4>guess you could go that route.

0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:21.200
<v Speaker 1>But even the prices on that is all that.

0:34:22.960 --> 0:34:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Enough. Yeah. Yeah, back to comeback player of the Year.

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:27.200
<v Speaker 2>I know, obviously it's not gonna be de Shaun Watson.

0:34:27.400 --> 0:34:30.040
<v Speaker 2>We were, you know, we were saying tomorrow Hamlin. Literally,

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:32.320
<v Speaker 2>there's never been any precedent for this. The man almost

0:34:32.400 --> 0:34:34.680
<v Speaker 2>died on the football field, and we were saying the

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 2>off season, what was the comment we settled on it

0:34:36.560 --> 0:34:39.319
<v Speaker 2>if he if he makes one play, he should be

0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:41.759
<v Speaker 2>the comeback player of the year maybe. And you did

0:34:41.800 --> 0:34:44.239
<v Speaker 2>have a pushback at because I said, if he just

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:46.200
<v Speaker 2>shows up, yeah, yeah, yeah, and he said, no, he's

0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:47.920
<v Speaker 2>got to make one He's got to make a tackle

0:34:48.040 --> 0:34:50.040
<v Speaker 2>or something. All right, So he's got to make one tackle.

0:34:50.160 --> 0:34:53.160
<v Speaker 2>But but I know, we we sort of had that exchange.

0:34:53.600 --> 0:34:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Are we fooling ourselves? Like, are we couldn't possibly be

0:34:57.239 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 2>that we are that short term of a memory that

0:34:59.239 --> 0:35:01.919
<v Speaker 2>there actually is somebody else in there that if they

0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:05.839
<v Speaker 2>did something special, you'd be like, well, actually, this might

0:35:05.880 --> 0:35:07.200
<v Speaker 2>not be the worst bet in the world.

0:35:10.680 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, step one has happened with Hamlin already.

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:14.120
<v Speaker 1>He made the fifty three.

0:35:14.200 --> 0:35:15.799
<v Speaker 4>Like there was at least a question as to whether

0:35:15.840 --> 0:35:18.920
<v Speaker 4>he might get cut. It's like step one of the process.

0:35:18.600 --> 0:35:20.239
<v Speaker 2>You have already. Could you imagine that.

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Pr backlash on.

0:35:23.160 --> 0:35:25.799
<v Speaker 2>That sorry tomorrow he gave it a good run.

0:35:26.280 --> 0:35:29.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, I was I was advocating at least a

0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:33.080
<v Speaker 4>little bit for Bryce Hall until the until the Dalvin

0:35:33.120 --> 0:35:35.920
<v Speaker 4>Cook signing, and so now I don't think that that

0:35:36.160 --> 0:35:38.839
<v Speaker 4>is as sexy for sure, because now I mean he's

0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:41.840
<v Speaker 4>gonna get at least what thirty of his carry siphoned

0:35:41.840 --> 0:35:46.040
<v Speaker 4>off by Dalvin Cook. There is a narrative and since

0:35:46.040 --> 0:35:48.600
<v Speaker 4>this is a narrative deal, like there is a narrative

0:35:48.640 --> 0:35:52.040
<v Speaker 4>to John Metchi, but it just depends, like it just

0:35:52.080 --> 0:35:55.279
<v Speaker 4>depends on if he is able to put up like

0:35:55.320 --> 0:35:57.120
<v Speaker 4>some numbers into what is probably going to be a

0:35:57.160 --> 0:35:59.680
<v Speaker 4>bad Texans offense. But like there is at least a

0:35:59.719 --> 0:36:02.760
<v Speaker 4>narrat there with all with that right coming horrible injury

0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:06.239
<v Speaker 4>and then not Hodgins from Pomar. I mean, like there's

0:36:06.280 --> 0:36:08.680
<v Speaker 4>there's like a narrative there, at least for him. So

0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:12.160
<v Speaker 4>twenty eight to one I thought was at least fairly

0:36:12.239 --> 0:36:15.200
<v Speaker 4>interesting for him, But there is there is limitations in

0:36:15.239 --> 0:36:16.640
<v Speaker 4>the Texans offense for sure.

0:36:16.760 --> 0:36:19.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that was the old I think I just looking

0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:20.799
<v Speaker 3>at it, right, I think that's the only other one

0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:21.759
<v Speaker 3>I would even think of.

0:36:21.960 --> 0:36:27.440
<v Speaker 2>That's the only acceptable the person to supplanting, right.

0:36:27.760 --> 0:36:30.480
<v Speaker 3>And shout out to Jeff Parlay Parls because he was

0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:33.400
<v Speaker 3>the first person I've I heard bring that up, you know,

0:36:33.600 --> 0:36:35.960
<v Speaker 3>months and months and months ago at this point, and

0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:37.520
<v Speaker 3>I know other people have discussed it.

0:36:37.440 --> 0:36:39.920
<v Speaker 2>But battle leukemia by the way, just to be clear.

0:36:39.760 --> 0:36:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Like I think there's a chance.

0:36:42.400 --> 0:36:46.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if if he has a significantly better receiving

0:36:46.760 --> 0:36:49.600
<v Speaker 3>season when it comes to stats than what DeMar Hamlin's

0:36:49.600 --> 0:36:51.160
<v Speaker 3>able to do defensively.

0:36:50.719 --> 0:36:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think he's in the mix.

0:36:52.200 --> 0:36:54.200
<v Speaker 3>So I don't think I think anybody grabbing a twenty

0:36:54.200 --> 0:36:55.560
<v Speaker 3>eight to one on him, I don't mind that.

0:36:55.600 --> 0:36:58.440
<v Speaker 2>But but I guess what we're saying is, if Russell

0:36:58.480 --> 0:37:02.320
<v Speaker 2>Wilson has this amazing bounce back season, he's not winning

0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Comeback Player of the Year.

0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:06.520
<v Speaker 3>We agree, Yeah, okay, uh no, I don't really get

0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:10.480
<v Speaker 3>to tu to one either. So behind Hamlin, who's actually going.

0:37:10.480 --> 0:37:11.760
<v Speaker 1>To give the praise to Sean Payton?

0:37:11.880 --> 0:37:13.919
<v Speaker 4>Like it's not gonna be like they're like they're gonna

0:37:13.920 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 4>say like they're gonna say, like, oh, look, Hackett was

0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:19.160
<v Speaker 4>so terrible. Here comes Sean Payton and then he reinvented

0:37:19.239 --> 0:37:21.480
<v Speaker 4>Russell Wilson, right, like, like Sean Payton gets that love

0:37:21.520 --> 0:37:21.880
<v Speaker 4>instead of.

0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Russell will Since since you bring it up, is it

0:37:23.960 --> 0:37:28.359
<v Speaker 2>possible that in Hackett and Urban Meyer. We have just

0:37:28.480 --> 0:37:31.680
<v Speaker 2>lived through maybe the two worst head coaches in the

0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:33.279
<v Speaker 2>history of the National Football.

0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Leag Pretty pretty close. Yeah, Like I'm.

0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Trying to think it pretty close, right. I know Jets

0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:38.759
<v Speaker 2>fans would say rich co tight back in the day,

0:37:38.760 --> 0:37:41.200
<v Speaker 2>but this was pretty happy. Speaking of the Jets, since

0:37:41.239 --> 0:37:43.719
<v Speaker 2>they obviously dominated all the headlines in the offseason with

0:37:43.760 --> 0:37:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Rodgers and they were on hard knocks, they have

0:37:46.440 --> 0:37:50.120
<v Speaker 2>a brutal for six games to the season, brutal. Where

0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:52.200
<v Speaker 2>do you stand on them? Matt? Like? Are you bullish?

0:37:52.200 --> 0:37:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Are you bearish? What's your deal?

0:37:54.239 --> 0:37:57.160
<v Speaker 4>I've been down on them pretty much all all off

0:37:57.200 --> 0:38:00.000
<v Speaker 4>season and and mainly because of what you just mentioned.

0:38:00.120 --> 0:38:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it is it is one.

0:38:01.680 --> 0:38:05.600
<v Speaker 4>Thing to add a future Hall of Famer first ballot quarterback,

0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:07.680
<v Speaker 4>and I think that that is definitely going to make

0:38:07.719 --> 0:38:10.640
<v Speaker 4>this team better, There's no question about that. However, you

0:38:10.680 --> 0:38:13.760
<v Speaker 4>still have to play these others. I think that division

0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:16.759
<v Speaker 4>with the Dolphins and the Bills, that's four games that

0:38:16.800 --> 0:38:17.920
<v Speaker 4>are gonna be very difficult.

0:38:17.960 --> 0:38:19.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really very high on on the Patriots, but.

0:38:19.800 --> 0:38:21.799
<v Speaker 4>I mean there's there's four games are gonna be super

0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:24.759
<v Speaker 4>tough and as every other part of that schedule is

0:38:24.840 --> 0:38:26.320
<v Speaker 4>just so so so rough.

0:38:26.640 --> 0:38:29.240
<v Speaker 2>This is I'm sorry, this is their first six before

0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:31.400
<v Speaker 2>the bye just a just a pachers what you're saying?

0:38:31.600 --> 0:38:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Home buff Home, Buffalo at Dallas, Home, New England, Home,

0:38:36.400 --> 0:38:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City at Denver in the elevation home Philadelphia, Oh

0:38:40.760 --> 0:38:41.280
<v Speaker 2>my god.

0:38:42.440 --> 0:38:45.080
<v Speaker 4>And then by the way, you yeah, you come you

0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:47.520
<v Speaker 4>get that bye, you come out. What if the Giants

0:38:47.600 --> 0:38:50.680
<v Speaker 4>are actually not right? So then now you go Giants

0:38:50.680 --> 0:38:54.080
<v Speaker 4>and the Bill that's right, yeah yeah, and then and

0:38:54.120 --> 0:38:56.520
<v Speaker 4>then Bill's Dolphins, right, and like with the with a

0:38:56.680 --> 0:38:59.439
<v Speaker 4>with a Raiders game sandwiched in between. So it could

0:38:59.480 --> 0:39:02.720
<v Speaker 4>be a there's a non zero chance that this team

0:39:02.800 --> 0:39:05.439
<v Speaker 4>is like not only under five hundred by the time

0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:07.759
<v Speaker 4>we get to week twelve, but like well under five

0:39:07.800 --> 0:39:09.960
<v Speaker 4>hundred by the time we get to week twelve. And again, like,

0:39:10.120 --> 0:39:11.880
<v Speaker 4>I don't think that that's like out of the scope

0:39:11.880 --> 0:39:14.480
<v Speaker 4>of what can realistically happen. This isn't one of those Hey,

0:39:14.520 --> 0:39:16.960
<v Speaker 4>Matt throw out a statement in hyperbole and everyone like

0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:18.799
<v Speaker 4>per clicks like, no, that's not what I'm doing. I

0:39:18.840 --> 0:39:20.640
<v Speaker 4>honestly think that there is a chance by the time

0:39:20.640 --> 0:39:22.600
<v Speaker 4>we get to week twelve, this Jeff team could be

0:39:22.640 --> 0:39:24.719
<v Speaker 4>under five hundred and maybe even a couple games under

0:39:24.719 --> 0:39:25.280
<v Speaker 4>five hundred.

0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The other one with.

0:39:27.080 --> 0:39:29.880
<v Speaker 3>That is I think everybody should temper the air, like

0:39:29.920 --> 0:39:33.000
<v Speaker 3>to Aaron Rodgers expectations a bit, because I still think,

0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:36.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, call me crazy if you want. I still

0:39:36.680 --> 0:39:38.560
<v Speaker 3>think this team is going to recognize that they had

0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:42.120
<v Speaker 3>a great defense last year. You obviously you got Breeze Hall,

0:39:42.160 --> 0:39:44.120
<v Speaker 3>but you felt the need to add Dalvin Cook. Like

0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:46.480
<v Speaker 3>I do think this is a team that's gonna be

0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:49.680
<v Speaker 3>pretty balanced offensively, Like I think they're gonna lean on

0:39:49.719 --> 0:39:52.439
<v Speaker 3>their defense, Like I don't think it's gonna be hey,

0:39:52.520 --> 0:39:55.560
<v Speaker 3>Aaron Rodgers, like go out and sling the ball around like.

0:39:55.480 --> 0:39:58.720
<v Speaker 2>We need you know, we need you and you alone.

0:39:58.680 --> 0:40:00.880
<v Speaker 1>To save this whole season. I don't really know that

0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:01.720
<v Speaker 1>they're in that spot.

0:40:02.440 --> 0:40:04.560
<v Speaker 4>They go, like, listen, Garrett Wilson, I think is an

0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:06.920
<v Speaker 4>awesome player, and I like all this, But like, I

0:40:07.160 --> 0:40:09.399
<v Speaker 4>have been looking pretty pretty hard, and I think I'm

0:40:09.400 --> 0:40:12.359
<v Speaker 4>gonna I was waiting to see if, like the Jets fans,

0:40:12.360 --> 0:40:15.360
<v Speaker 4>that everybody would kind of pump up his totals and

0:40:15.360 --> 0:40:17.480
<v Speaker 4>stuff for the season. But like I'm looking at the

0:40:17.560 --> 0:40:19.359
<v Speaker 4>under one there's a lot of mouths to feed there

0:40:19.400 --> 0:40:22.080
<v Speaker 4>in that offense as it is anyway. And then second,

0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:26.960
<v Speaker 4>if you go back and look, so the twenty twenty Packers, right,

0:40:27.160 --> 0:40:29.200
<v Speaker 4>and who was their offensive coordinator, and if they know Howcket,

0:40:29.560 --> 0:40:32.280
<v Speaker 4>they were dead last in situation neutral pace. The twenty

0:40:32.320 --> 0:40:35.839
<v Speaker 4>twenty one Packers thirty first in situation neutral pace.

0:40:35.960 --> 0:40:37.080
<v Speaker 1>The twenty twenty.

0:40:36.840 --> 0:40:41.200
<v Speaker 4>Version with Hacket gone was twenty eighth in situation neutral pace.

0:40:41.239 --> 0:40:43.759
<v Speaker 4>So Aaron Rodgers just operate slowly, like he is a

0:40:43.760 --> 0:40:45.840
<v Speaker 4>deliberate dude who likes to get up to the line,

0:40:46.120 --> 0:40:47.880
<v Speaker 4>and he likes to look at the defense, and he

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:50.359
<v Speaker 4>likes to call audibles he likes. So I think they're

0:40:50.360 --> 0:40:52.239
<v Speaker 4>going to run fewer plays than most teams out there.

0:40:52.239 --> 0:40:54.080
<v Speaker 4>And then you add what Kelly said, and then you

0:40:54.120 --> 0:40:56.600
<v Speaker 4>add what Kelly said with the defense like they might

0:40:56.640 --> 0:40:59.680
<v Speaker 4>not be looking up at like like very many deficits

0:40:59.719 --> 0:41:01.439
<v Speaker 4>are like you know, where they have to play past

0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:03.279
<v Speaker 4>and up that tempo and throw a lot. And so

0:41:03.960 --> 0:41:05.760
<v Speaker 4>I just think, like, you know, some of the unders

0:41:05.760 --> 0:41:07.960
<v Speaker 4>on some of these offensive players on the jet side

0:41:08.000 --> 0:41:08.919
<v Speaker 4>is the way to look as well.

0:41:09.360 --> 0:41:12.080
<v Speaker 3>It's interesting, Yeah, I think I think unders on the

0:41:12.120 --> 0:41:14.279
<v Speaker 3>games too, right, we laid out the tough schedule, like,

0:41:14.320 --> 0:41:16.040
<v Speaker 3>I don't think that. I don't think the Jets are

0:41:16.080 --> 0:41:17.560
<v Speaker 3>gonna I don't think they're gonna be horrible. I don't think

0:41:17.560 --> 0:41:20.560
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna get blown out by these teams. But okay,

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:23.680
<v Speaker 3>you're playing against Kansas City, Like, what are you trying

0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:25.279
<v Speaker 3>to do? You're trying to keep Patrick Mahomes off the

0:41:25.320 --> 0:41:27.160
<v Speaker 3>field for as long as you can just because you

0:41:27.160 --> 0:41:29.120
<v Speaker 3>have Aaron Rodgers. Now, I don't think that changes that

0:41:29.200 --> 0:41:32.080
<v Speaker 3>at all. Right, So it's I, yeah, I think all

0:41:32.120 --> 0:41:34.120
<v Speaker 3>of that I would be. I haven't bet any of them,

0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:36.560
<v Speaker 3>but I think anybody looking at player props season total

0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:39.680
<v Speaker 3>long unders on a lot of Jets things. If it

0:41:39.719 --> 0:41:41.879
<v Speaker 3>has to do receiving or passing, I don't think it's

0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:42.399
<v Speaker 3>a bad play.

0:41:42.440 --> 0:41:44.399
<v Speaker 2>You bet other stuff, Kelly, What else did you bet here? Yeah?

0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:47.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I uh, let's see what else do I have?

0:41:47.360 --> 0:41:49.279
<v Speaker 1>I do have a Chargers, Yes, to make the playoffs.

0:41:49.640 --> 0:41:51.520
<v Speaker 2>There you go. This is the year.

0:41:51.520 --> 0:41:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Minus what fifteen. I'm on board for that one. I am.

0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:56.640
<v Speaker 2>We all had our year doing this, we all.

0:41:56.600 --> 0:41:58.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm so glad you've backed me up at what at

0:41:58.480 --> 0:42:00.600
<v Speaker 3>least saying that cause I'm just I can't look at

0:42:00.640 --> 0:42:01.360
<v Speaker 3>that roster.

0:42:01.160 --> 0:42:03.840
<v Speaker 2>That was last year. It last year, I know, I know.

0:42:04.000 --> 0:42:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Do we think Brandon by the way, do we think

0:42:05.520 --> 0:42:07.919
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Staley? I know, because when we were doing Primetime Action,

0:42:08.040 --> 0:42:09.960
<v Speaker 2>we were correct me if I'm wrong, You'll correct me

0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:13.920
<v Speaker 2>if I'm wrong. We were Brandon Staley guys. Yeah, we thought,

0:42:14.239 --> 0:42:17.279
<v Speaker 2>we thought And then like the first year, let's face it,

0:42:17.360 --> 0:42:19.919
<v Speaker 2>like I get it, you wanted to be this analytics

0:42:20.000 --> 0:42:22.560
<v Speaker 2>driven guy who went for it when most other teams

0:42:22.600 --> 0:42:25.239
<v Speaker 2>didn't because you saw the real numbers on this, and

0:42:25.280 --> 0:42:27.200
<v Speaker 2>he took it too far right like some of the times,

0:42:27.239 --> 0:42:29.680
<v Speaker 2>like in his own territory deep they were doing. It's

0:42:29.680 --> 0:42:32.200
<v Speaker 2>like okay, dude, stop it. And then I thought last year,

0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:35.000
<v Speaker 2>like times were I thought he should have gone for it.

0:42:35.160 --> 0:42:37.000
<v Speaker 2>He almost like he was like, no, I can't do

0:42:37.080 --> 0:42:39.040
<v Speaker 2>that anymore. Right, you know, I don't know where do

0:42:39.080 --> 0:42:41.080
<v Speaker 2>you stand on Brandon Staley? Now? Do you like him

0:42:41.080 --> 0:42:41.640
<v Speaker 2>as a coach?

0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:47.839
<v Speaker 4>I think I think that it might not matter as

0:42:47.920 --> 0:42:51.760
<v Speaker 4>much this year because bringing in Kellen Moore and getting

0:42:51.840 --> 0:42:53.160
<v Speaker 4>rid of Joe Lombardy.

0:42:53.120 --> 0:42:56.799
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and like that's a big trick, dude. It was

0:42:56.840 --> 0:42:57.600
<v Speaker 1>like Lombardi.

0:42:58.200 --> 0:43:00.160
<v Speaker 4>You have a dude with the with one of the

0:43:00.160 --> 0:43:03.080
<v Speaker 4>biggest arms we've ever seen at the quarterback position in

0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:06.440
<v Speaker 4>the NFL, and his average depth of target was twenty

0:43:06.480 --> 0:43:07.960
<v Speaker 4>sixth in the NFL last year.

0:43:08.360 --> 0:43:10.160
<v Speaker 2>It's like criminal, that's ridiculous.

0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:11.239
<v Speaker 1>It's criminal.

0:43:11.360 --> 0:43:13.040
<v Speaker 4>Like you have one of the best fifty to fifty

0:43:13.040 --> 0:43:15.320
<v Speaker 4>ball receivers in the NFL, and Mike Williams like he

0:43:15.560 --> 0:43:17.719
<v Speaker 4>might he's not the most polished dude, but he can

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:19.560
<v Speaker 4>like go up and get a fifty to fifty ball

0:43:19.719 --> 0:43:21.759
<v Speaker 4>and like you're twenty six the NFL on average up

0:43:21.760 --> 0:43:23.719
<v Speaker 4>to target. Like the fact that they're gonna throw and

0:43:23.760 --> 0:43:26.319
<v Speaker 4>throw more and throw down field and take advantage of

0:43:26.360 --> 0:43:29.960
<v Speaker 4>these offensive weapons, I think it will probably put Staley

0:43:30.120 --> 0:43:32.880
<v Speaker 4>in fewer chances to blow it, you know, like like

0:43:33.000 --> 0:43:34.879
<v Speaker 4>your chances to have to like do like.

0:43:34.920 --> 0:43:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Some of these things.

0:43:35.680 --> 0:43:40.440
<v Speaker 4>So cut to a shine, yeah, exactly, cut to fourthour.

0:43:41.320 --> 0:43:44.080
<v Speaker 3>I just I think that I think the addition to Kellimore,

0:43:44.120 --> 0:43:46.399
<v Speaker 3>like you're talking about, I think that's huge. Look look

0:43:46.400 --> 0:43:48.279
<v Speaker 3>at what he's done with the Cowboys passing game over

0:43:48.320 --> 0:43:50.640
<v Speaker 3>the past couple of years. We Cowboys are always in

0:43:50.640 --> 0:43:52.719
<v Speaker 3>the spotlight so much. But like that has been a

0:43:52.800 --> 0:43:55.719
<v Speaker 3>solid passing game. And meanwhile, you're talking about in pass

0:43:55.800 --> 0:43:59.239
<v Speaker 3>offense that ran twenty eighth last season and a lot

0:43:59.280 --> 0:44:01.200
<v Speaker 3>of what you're talking about, but over a pro football focus,

0:44:01.239 --> 0:44:03.960
<v Speaker 3>they were in twenty eighth rights passing offense with the Chargers.

0:44:03.960 --> 0:44:06.879
<v Speaker 3>So I think that's gonna like, that's gonna change things.

0:44:06.960 --> 0:44:10.800
<v Speaker 3>I love Quentin Johnson addition there in the wide receiving corps.

0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:13.359
<v Speaker 3>And this is a team where, you know, you joke,

0:44:13.400 --> 0:44:15.080
<v Speaker 3>you'll about everybody's kind of been high on them in

0:44:15.120 --> 0:44:18.440
<v Speaker 3>different years, but like they have struggled through major injuries

0:44:18.480 --> 0:44:19.560
<v Speaker 3>at the worst time.

0:44:19.680 --> 0:44:21.680
<v Speaker 2>They're always injured every.

0:44:21.440 --> 0:44:25.960
<v Speaker 3>Year, and we always choose to recognize some of those teams.

0:44:25.960 --> 0:44:28.480
<v Speaker 3>We never recognize the teams that just run pure all

0:44:28.600 --> 0:44:30.640
<v Speaker 3>year long on injuries, you know, and it's like that

0:44:30.760 --> 0:44:32.640
<v Speaker 3>is such a big deal when it.

0:44:32.560 --> 0:44:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Comes to the NFL.

0:44:33.640 --> 0:44:36.800
<v Speaker 3>So I'm kind of hoping, hey, maybe like Mike Williams,

0:44:37.440 --> 0:44:39.279
<v Speaker 3>you know, Ketan Nollen can actually play a few games

0:44:39.280 --> 0:44:41.160
<v Speaker 3>together like this year, That would be nice to see

0:44:41.200 --> 0:44:43.600
<v Speaker 3>once in a while because they're seemingly never do. So

0:44:43.840 --> 0:44:46.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm in on the Chargers. What else did I bet

0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:50.040
<v Speaker 3>Raiders and Titans fewest wins. I took shots on you know,

0:44:50.120 --> 0:44:52.160
<v Speaker 3>maybe the Cardinals moves earlier this week. I have me

0:44:52.160 --> 0:44:55.160
<v Speaker 3>be less excited about those bets too, because I don't

0:44:55.200 --> 0:44:57.600
<v Speaker 3>know if we've seen a more declarative move of we're

0:44:57.640 --> 0:44:58.000
<v Speaker 3>in the.

0:44:57.920 --> 0:44:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Tank, then see it go by the way.

0:44:59.560 --> 0:45:02.120
<v Speaker 2>I made that good Panthers last team to record a

0:45:02.120 --> 0:45:05.040
<v Speaker 2>first win the day before, of course, right the day

0:45:05.080 --> 0:45:09.880
<v Speaker 2>before they cut Colt McCoy. Sorry to interrupt, but it's like,

0:45:10.400 --> 0:45:12.400
<v Speaker 2>so you famously a couple of years ago, Matt, you

0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:15.400
<v Speaker 2>had those Texans unders. The Texans had the lowest win total.

0:45:15.840 --> 0:45:18.319
<v Speaker 2>You bet it and betted again. You had like a

0:45:18.360 --> 0:45:19.719
<v Speaker 2>five and a half and a five and a four

0:45:19.719 --> 0:45:22.880
<v Speaker 2>and a half. I camera, are the Cardinals so bad?

0:45:23.400 --> 0:45:25.279
<v Speaker 2>And not only the Cardinals, let me just not pick

0:45:25.280 --> 0:45:28.600
<v Speaker 2>on them, but like we were looking at the Texans,

0:45:29.040 --> 0:45:30.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how the Texans get to their season

0:45:30.880 --> 0:45:33.239
<v Speaker 2>win total leader, Like, is there a team where you're like,

0:45:33.520 --> 0:45:36.680
<v Speaker 2>they can't. Yes, they're bad and everybody knows they're bad,

0:45:36.680 --> 0:45:38.520
<v Speaker 2>but their season wind totals are not low enough.

0:45:39.320 --> 0:45:42.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, so I didn't. I did not move

0:45:42.320 --> 0:45:42.880
<v Speaker 1>any lines.

0:45:43.080 --> 0:45:44.919
<v Speaker 4>Everyone likes to scream whatever we talk about the lines

0:45:44.920 --> 0:45:47.080
<v Speaker 4>that we got and say, well, yeah, I get it,

0:45:47.120 --> 0:45:48.880
<v Speaker 4>like whatever, But that's why I bet. That's why I

0:45:48.880 --> 0:45:50.239
<v Speaker 4>bet it early to get the bet in my cowra.

0:45:50.520 --> 0:45:52.759
<v Speaker 4>So they opened this Cardinals team at five and a half,

0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:55.000
<v Speaker 4>by the way, five and a half, right, that was

0:45:56.040 --> 0:45:58.880
<v Speaker 4>like as as early as often and as many different

0:45:58.880 --> 0:46:00.759
<v Speaker 4>books here in town as put it up. I went

0:46:00.800 --> 0:46:02.480
<v Speaker 4>in and hit it as many times I could. They

0:46:02.520 --> 0:46:04.080
<v Speaker 4>went to four. By the way, Draft Kings is three

0:46:04.080 --> 0:46:05.960
<v Speaker 4>and a half. Now I might have it like they've

0:46:06.000 --> 0:46:07.320
<v Speaker 4>all the way they've gone down to three and a

0:46:07.360 --> 0:46:10.560
<v Speaker 4>half now on on this team. Listen, there is I've

0:46:10.560 --> 0:46:12.560
<v Speaker 4>screamed this from a mountaintop. I know you guys talked

0:46:12.600 --> 0:46:14.239
<v Speaker 4>about it, but if you people are just now listening

0:46:14.239 --> 0:46:16.839
<v Speaker 4>to the play game, they have every incentive they're doing

0:46:16.880 --> 0:46:20.000
<v Speaker 4>the right thing. They have every incentive to tear this

0:46:20.040 --> 0:46:22.080
<v Speaker 4>thing down and be the worst team in the NFL.

0:46:22.120 --> 0:46:25.840
<v Speaker 4>Like very very very few opportunities do you ever get

0:46:26.120 --> 0:46:30.000
<v Speaker 4>to actually rebuild a team in as short a fashion

0:46:30.040 --> 0:46:32.359
<v Speaker 4>as they might be able to do because you have

0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:35.520
<v Speaker 4>Kyler Murray sitting on the sideline. If you're the worst team,

0:46:35.560 --> 0:46:37.799
<v Speaker 4>you get the number one overall pick. If the Texans

0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:40.320
<v Speaker 4>are the second worst team and you run really pure,

0:46:40.680 --> 0:46:42.200
<v Speaker 4>you are going to end up with the first and

0:46:42.239 --> 0:46:45.000
<v Speaker 4>the second pick in this draft, in a quarterback heavy

0:46:45.080 --> 0:46:47.880
<v Speaker 4>draft in which teams will give Heaven and Earth to

0:46:48.000 --> 0:46:50.520
<v Speaker 4>draft either Drake May or Caleb Williams. So you have

0:46:50.600 --> 0:46:53.440
<v Speaker 4>a choice to either stick with Kyler Murray and then

0:46:53.480 --> 0:46:56.000
<v Speaker 4>you trade both of those picks for a king's ransom

0:46:56.440 --> 0:46:59.880
<v Speaker 4>and you can actually rebuild this team almost overnight, or

0:47:00.520 --> 0:47:02.760
<v Speaker 4>you move on from Kyler Murray. You'll still get something

0:47:02.760 --> 0:47:05.320
<v Speaker 4>in return for Kyler Murray. You draft Caleb Williams, and

0:47:05.360 --> 0:47:06.920
<v Speaker 4>then you moved the number two pick for Heaven and

0:47:06.960 --> 0:47:09.600
<v Speaker 4>Earth for somebody who wants Drake May. Like it's like

0:47:09.719 --> 0:47:13.520
<v Speaker 4>the greatest scenario ever for this Cardinals team to be bad,

0:47:13.640 --> 0:47:15.680
<v Speaker 4>and they are buying into it early and often, and

0:47:15.719 --> 0:47:16.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm here for it.

0:47:16.440 --> 0:47:17.919
<v Speaker 1>I love it. It's so good.

0:47:18.200 --> 0:47:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm a big fan of a tame. I'm a big

0:47:19.960 --> 0:47:20.680
<v Speaker 2>fan of a tame.

0:47:20.760 --> 0:47:23.480
<v Speaker 3>And I always brought him because I applawed the Yeah,

0:47:23.520 --> 0:47:25.239
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of kind of like a poker thing, right,

0:47:25.239 --> 0:47:26.680
<v Speaker 3>you got a bad hand, throw it away, like I

0:47:26.680 --> 0:47:29.080
<v Speaker 3>always applaud the Rosen move too, Like you went over,

0:47:29.160 --> 0:47:31.080
<v Speaker 3>he sucked you figured it out quick. You moved on

0:47:31.160 --> 0:47:32.600
<v Speaker 3>and went to a quarterback. If you don't have a

0:47:32.680 --> 0:47:34.520
<v Speaker 3>quarterback that can win in this league, you're not You're

0:47:34.560 --> 0:47:37.640
<v Speaker 3>not winning anything. So I some of these teams stretch

0:47:37.680 --> 0:47:39.280
<v Speaker 3>it out for too long with these guys.

0:47:39.520 --> 0:47:41.920
<v Speaker 1>If you know he sucks, he move on, by the way,

0:47:41.960 --> 0:47:42.960
<v Speaker 1>That's what the Niners did.

0:47:42.800 --> 0:47:45.040
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Caleb Williams has already stated that he'd

0:47:45.080 --> 0:47:47.760
<v Speaker 2>stay another year if it's not one of his desired teams.

0:47:48.040 --> 0:47:51.320
<v Speaker 2>He gets paid worth of ten million on nil. He

0:47:51.440 --> 0:47:52.919
<v Speaker 2>was just hanging out at USC. He's like, I don't

0:47:52.920 --> 0:47:54.480
<v Speaker 2>want to play for that team.

0:47:54.480 --> 0:47:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:47:54.719 --> 0:47:56.919
<v Speaker 3>Do you just think for really in a world where

0:47:56.960 --> 0:47:59.560
<v Speaker 3>that could happen? Now more with the nil money I do?

0:48:00.120 --> 0:48:04.160
<v Speaker 1>That is so so just to uh to the GIL.

0:48:04.440 --> 0:48:06.400
<v Speaker 4>Not to get too off, but is a pre preseason

0:48:06.400 --> 0:48:11.120
<v Speaker 4>best regardless. I have Quinn Youwers, Michael Pennix and JJ

0:48:11.200 --> 0:48:14.719
<v Speaker 4>McCarthy number one overall pick tickets that I do every year.

0:48:14.760 --> 0:48:17.320
<v Speaker 1>As you guys know, I take these. I take these.

0:48:17.239 --> 0:48:20.799
<v Speaker 4>Quarterbacks with bigger numbers and go ahead and get them

0:48:20.800 --> 0:48:24.000
<v Speaker 4>in and and listen, there is I think there's a

0:48:24.080 --> 0:48:27.000
<v Speaker 4>non zero chance Caleb Williams has the leverage to do

0:48:27.160 --> 0:48:30.959
<v Speaker 4>something wacky like that, right, And I also look at

0:48:31.080 --> 0:48:34.920
<v Speaker 4>the like the prototypical NFL quarterback that's that you know,

0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:37.239
<v Speaker 4>what they love so much is Quinn youwers like you know,

0:48:37.280 --> 0:48:39.920
<v Speaker 4>the big strong art whatever like all that, Like all

0:48:39.960 --> 0:48:41.680
<v Speaker 4>you need is one team to fall in love with him,

0:48:42.239 --> 0:48:44.799
<v Speaker 4>Michael Pinnicks with all the dual threat stuff that he's got,

0:48:44.840 --> 0:48:47.000
<v Speaker 4>and like you got that. And then JJ McCarthy on

0:48:47.040 --> 0:48:49.200
<v Speaker 4>a team that might win the national championship in Michigan.

0:48:49.520 --> 0:48:51.759
<v Speaker 4>That certainly helps a lot as well somewhere along the way.

0:48:51.800 --> 0:48:54.439
<v Speaker 4>So for me, I have those three tickets in there

0:48:54.480 --> 0:48:57.200
<v Speaker 4>on the off chance that Caleb Williams really does do

0:48:57.239 --> 0:49:00.720
<v Speaker 4>something wacky and decide to stay in college. Like you mentioned,

0:49:00.920 --> 0:49:04.000
<v Speaker 4>he makes like seven to eight figures staying in college.

0:49:04.040 --> 0:49:06.200
<v Speaker 1>So it's not the craziest thing in the world. It

0:49:06.280 --> 0:49:08.160
<v Speaker 1>is wild, but it's just in my head.

0:49:08.200 --> 0:49:09.919
<v Speaker 3>I can't get around, you know, Like you guys brought

0:49:10.000 --> 0:49:11.680
<v Speaker 3>up earlier with Sam Halleck, that was a guy who

0:49:11.719 --> 0:49:13.520
<v Speaker 3>was projected to be a first round pick before he

0:49:13.600 --> 0:49:15.760
<v Speaker 3>had a bad year, right, and then you'd slide.

0:49:16.120 --> 0:49:17.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like, would you really gamble on that?

0:49:18.160 --> 0:49:20.080
<v Speaker 3>And I don't know, if you're getting if you're making

0:49:20.080 --> 0:49:21.799
<v Speaker 3>that much money a year in nil.

0:49:21.560 --> 0:49:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you ten million to hang out in LA for

0:49:23.440 --> 0:49:23.919
<v Speaker 2>another year?

0:49:23.960 --> 0:49:25.880
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I guess it makes up for some of

0:49:25.920 --> 0:49:30.360
<v Speaker 3>the draft position stuff, but man if whenever that happens,

0:49:30.400 --> 0:49:32.360
<v Speaker 3>if that happens, that's it's gonna still.

0:49:32.200 --> 0:49:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Be pretty sure. One follow up, because you mentioned it's

0:49:34.080 --> 0:49:36.719
<v Speaker 2>three and a half at DraftKings mat on the Cardinals.

0:49:36.960 --> 0:49:39.959
<v Speaker 2>Is that too low? It does an NFL team, even

0:49:40.000 --> 0:49:42.279
<v Speaker 2>in tank mode, just like we say with baseball teams,

0:49:42.320 --> 0:49:44.880
<v Speaker 2>like the worst baseball team figures out a way to

0:49:44.960 --> 0:49:47.799
<v Speaker 2>win fifty games? Right, maybe not the A's this year,

0:49:47.840 --> 0:49:50.080
<v Speaker 2>but you get the idea. Is that the same with

0:49:50.120 --> 0:49:50.839
<v Speaker 2>an NFL team?

0:49:50.880 --> 0:49:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Like?

0:49:51.040 --> 0:49:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Is that too low? You wouldn't been under on that,

0:49:52.760 --> 0:49:53.120
<v Speaker 2>would you.

0:49:54.320 --> 0:49:56.080
<v Speaker 1>The Bears won three games last year?

0:49:56.360 --> 0:50:00.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I guess so, Cardinals won four game games last year.

0:50:01.080 --> 0:50:05.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you know it's the Texans won three games last year.

0:50:06.680 --> 0:50:09.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's a tough it was a tough bet

0:50:09.400 --> 0:50:10.960
<v Speaker 2>to sit through, though, it is it is.

0:50:11.200 --> 0:50:13.040
<v Speaker 3>It is the one I always think about though, Like

0:50:13.200 --> 0:50:15.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, when people ask me, the Bears last year

0:50:15.200 --> 0:50:18.360
<v Speaker 3>are the perfect example, rags. They won three games and

0:50:18.520 --> 0:50:21.719
<v Speaker 3>like somehow we all walked away with like upsides from

0:50:21.760 --> 0:50:24.480
<v Speaker 3>the season with Bears, right, it was like, well, I

0:50:24.520 --> 0:50:25.960
<v Speaker 3>think Field shown a couple of things.

0:50:26.560 --> 0:50:28.080
<v Speaker 1>It's like they won three freaking games.

0:50:28.120 --> 0:50:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Like what are we talking about wildings? Yeah, any other

0:50:33.920 --> 0:50:35.360
<v Speaker 2>bets that you had, Matt that you wanted to let

0:50:35.400 --> 0:50:36.080
<v Speaker 2>people know about.

0:50:36.520 --> 0:50:40.560
<v Speaker 4>Uh So, I mean, look, it is of the numbers

0:50:40.600 --> 0:50:42.160
<v Speaker 4>that are still available, because I don't want to sit

0:50:42.200 --> 0:50:45.080
<v Speaker 4>here and talk about stuff that people can't get anymore. Oh,

0:50:45.120 --> 0:50:48.120
<v Speaker 4>I told your receiving prop so that one, yes, the

0:50:48.480 --> 0:50:51.040
<v Speaker 4>ceedee lamb one right, yeah, yeah, so I have ceedee

0:50:51.080 --> 0:50:55.399
<v Speaker 4>lamb over ten ninety nine and a half yards. I

0:50:55.440 --> 0:50:59.800
<v Speaker 4>think people are over estimating the like the conservative nature

0:50:59.840 --> 0:51:03.560
<v Speaker 4>of McCarthy taking over and calling plays here, Like, yeah,

0:51:03.600 --> 0:51:06.560
<v Speaker 4>are they going to be as past happy as they

0:51:06.560 --> 0:51:09.520
<v Speaker 4>were with Kellen Moore? Maybe not, but it's not going

0:51:09.560 --> 0:51:12.200
<v Speaker 4>to be this precipitous difference that like everybody. So these

0:51:12.239 --> 0:51:15.080
<v Speaker 4>projections on what I think for one of the most

0:51:15.080 --> 0:51:18.120
<v Speaker 4>explosive offenses in the league now that Zeke is gone,

0:51:18.200 --> 0:51:21.319
<v Speaker 4>like he is no longer siphoning off these carries that

0:51:21.440 --> 0:51:24.359
<v Speaker 4>just waste plays for this team, and so I think

0:51:24.400 --> 0:51:25.960
<v Speaker 4>they're going to get more first downs, and if you

0:51:26.000 --> 0:51:28.080
<v Speaker 4>get more first downs, there's more opportunities for these things

0:51:28.120 --> 0:51:30.840
<v Speaker 4>to get home. And so I think Ceedee Lamb is

0:51:31.520 --> 0:51:34.880
<v Speaker 4>not only a really good bet for over eleven hundred yards,

0:51:34.880 --> 0:51:37.880
<v Speaker 4>but I mean most receiving yards in the league. I

0:51:37.920 --> 0:51:41.000
<v Speaker 4>think is not out of the realm of possibility, just

0:51:41.040 --> 0:51:43.440
<v Speaker 4>depending on how big of a chunk Jordan Addison actually

0:51:43.440 --> 0:51:46.200
<v Speaker 4>takes out of Justin Jefferson up there in Minnesota. I

0:51:46.440 --> 0:51:48.440
<v Speaker 4>think that Ceedee Lamb over ten ninety nine and a

0:51:48.480 --> 0:51:50.560
<v Speaker 4>half is a really really good bet to ye.

0:51:50.719 --> 0:51:52.279
<v Speaker 3>I think just to fall up on that point, like

0:51:53.000 --> 0:51:56.160
<v Speaker 3>I don't get the McCarthy Like, I've never really got

0:51:56.160 --> 0:51:58.640
<v Speaker 3>what you know McCarthy's talking about. We need to slow

0:51:58.719 --> 0:52:01.480
<v Speaker 3>this down, YadA YadA, ya run the ball more. Well, okay,

0:52:01.760 --> 0:52:03.959
<v Speaker 3>it's easier to say that if you had the same

0:52:04.120 --> 0:52:06.399
<v Speaker 3>roster as you did last year. But like you don't

0:52:06.480 --> 0:52:09.240
<v Speaker 3>have the dual backs of Zeke and Tony Pollard.

0:52:09.320 --> 0:52:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Now, like you're putting all your eggs.

0:52:11.080 --> 0:52:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Do we know Tony Pollard is gonna be good moving change?

0:52:13.840 --> 0:52:16.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't know for sure, Gil, but you're putting but ployers,

0:52:16.120 --> 0:52:18.839
<v Speaker 3>they're putting all their eggs in that basket like this

0:52:18.960 --> 0:52:20.920
<v Speaker 3>could very easily turn into a.

0:52:21.000 --> 0:52:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Just pass heavy offense just because.

0:52:22.800 --> 0:52:26.560
<v Speaker 2>It has to. Yeah, it's uh and an Bell and

0:52:26.880 --> 0:52:28.640
<v Speaker 2>Zeke ends up with the Patriots, by the way. By

0:52:28.680 --> 0:52:31.560
<v Speaker 2>the way that I'll also you know, the strange backup

0:52:31.640 --> 0:52:33.840
<v Speaker 2>quarterback thing ends up being Matt corral Now in the

0:52:33.920 --> 0:52:35.840
<v Speaker 2>end and not Bailey Zappy. That was interesting, and not

0:52:35.960 --> 0:52:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Tom Brady and not Tom Brady, which people wanted so

0:52:39.640 --> 0:52:41.919
<v Speaker 2>bad for it to happen. I know they will try

0:52:41.920 --> 0:52:44.400
<v Speaker 2>to will that into existence. Uh Okay, let's do this

0:52:44.440 --> 0:52:47.120
<v Speaker 2>because I want to get this on record, your seven

0:52:47.280 --> 0:52:50.399
<v Speaker 2>playoff teams in each conference, because this will be fun

0:52:50.440 --> 0:52:51.160
<v Speaker 2>to look back on.

0:52:53.960 --> 0:52:57.239
<v Speaker 1>So, so we're gonna go.

0:52:57.480 --> 0:53:02.520
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna go Bills, Bengals, Jags, and Chiefs because of

0:53:02.719 --> 0:53:06.560
<v Speaker 4>the four division winners. Right, I went with I think

0:53:06.600 --> 0:53:09.239
<v Speaker 4>the Browns are gonna be good. I do, Like I mean,

0:53:09.600 --> 0:53:12.440
<v Speaker 4>it's it's there's if the only way that they're not

0:53:12.480 --> 0:53:15.000
<v Speaker 4>good is if Deshaun Watson is actually washed, and if

0:53:15.000 --> 0:53:17.640
<v Speaker 4>that's the case, then they won't be. But they're they

0:53:17.719 --> 0:53:19.400
<v Speaker 4>got a lot of they got a lot of dudes,

0:53:19.640 --> 0:53:21.279
<v Speaker 4>and so it's find it hard to believe that they

0:53:21.320 --> 0:53:23.800
<v Speaker 4>can't get into the playoffs. So I have the Browns

0:53:23.840 --> 0:53:25.960
<v Speaker 4>in the playoffs as well. I have the Chargers in

0:53:26.040 --> 0:53:28.760
<v Speaker 4>the playoffs as well. Yeah, I know, Banana and the tailpipe.

0:53:28.800 --> 0:53:30.560
<v Speaker 4>Yet again, with the Chargers, I get it. I'm gonna

0:53:30.600 --> 0:53:33.399
<v Speaker 4>go ahead and and do that and my final playoff team.

0:53:33.400 --> 0:53:35.360
<v Speaker 4>And this is where I get a lot of controversy

0:53:35.360 --> 0:53:38.080
<v Speaker 4>from people. It's actually not the Ravens. For me, it

0:53:38.160 --> 0:53:40.600
<v Speaker 4>is the Dolphins, and so I'm going the Dolphins as

0:53:40.680 --> 0:53:43.799
<v Speaker 4>the seventh pick. I think that Dolphins roster we have

0:53:43.840 --> 0:53:44.600
<v Speaker 4>to assume health.

0:53:44.680 --> 0:53:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I know if Tua takes one big hit,

0:53:47.080 --> 0:53:48.239
<v Speaker 1>this could be all over.

0:53:48.360 --> 0:53:50.040
<v Speaker 4>And I get all that, which is why I'm not

0:53:50.080 --> 0:53:51.839
<v Speaker 4>gonna go as far as to say they can win

0:53:51.840 --> 0:53:54.640
<v Speaker 4>that division over the Bills. But I think that that team,

0:53:54.680 --> 0:53:56.360
<v Speaker 4>if you really break it down and you look like

0:53:56.400 --> 0:53:58.520
<v Speaker 4>there is there's a lot to like about them. When

0:53:58.560 --> 0:54:01.440
<v Speaker 4>when Tua was on the field last year, that offense hummed,

0:54:01.680 --> 0:54:03.560
<v Speaker 4>and it was like the only time they didn't hum

0:54:03.600 --> 0:54:05.160
<v Speaker 4>was when he was not on the field. And so

0:54:05.760 --> 0:54:08.080
<v Speaker 4>I like that offense a lot, and they still have

0:54:08.120 --> 0:54:11.080
<v Speaker 4>some decent talent on defense, So I do have.

0:54:11.800 --> 0:54:14.759
<v Speaker 2>I do feel like just anecdotally the talking football. Someummer

0:54:14.840 --> 0:54:17.319
<v Speaker 2>that they're the forgotten team, like people have kind of

0:54:18.320 --> 0:54:20.160
<v Speaker 2>just let them slip out of their mind. Maybe it

0:54:20.239 --> 0:54:21.440
<v Speaker 2>is the two a thing whatever within you.

0:54:21.840 --> 0:54:24.480
<v Speaker 4>And I'll tell you Gil, it's like the most underrated

0:54:24.480 --> 0:54:26.480
<v Speaker 4>thing because it's not super sexy. And we talk about

0:54:26.480 --> 0:54:28.640
<v Speaker 4>this a lot, but like they brought in Vic Fangio

0:54:28.719 --> 0:54:31.719
<v Speaker 4>is their defensive coordinator, and you can say whatever you

0:54:31.719 --> 0:54:33.560
<v Speaker 4>want about him as a head coach. We get this

0:54:33.600 --> 0:54:35.399
<v Speaker 4>all the time, Like some dudes are just not built

0:54:35.440 --> 0:54:38.040
<v Speaker 4>to run the whole ship. I want to talk about

0:54:38.040 --> 0:54:42.520
<v Speaker 4>guys that are more respected in a singular position. You'd

0:54:42.560 --> 0:54:44.480
<v Speaker 4>be hard to find more people talk about Vic Fangio

0:54:44.480 --> 0:54:46.480
<v Speaker 4>as a defensive coordinator and like what he can do,

0:54:46.880 --> 0:54:49.040
<v Speaker 4>and so like that guy comes in now to run

0:54:49.080 --> 0:54:51.839
<v Speaker 4>the defense to go along with that offense. Like there's

0:54:51.880 --> 0:54:55.600
<v Speaker 4>always the health concerns, but there's health concerns with every team,

0:54:55.680 --> 0:54:57.920
<v Speaker 4>every person, every everything, So you know you can't go

0:54:58.000 --> 0:54:58.799
<v Speaker 4>in worry about all that.

0:54:58.840 --> 0:55:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I think the Dolphins are the seventh teen NFC.

0:55:01.800 --> 0:55:03.919
<v Speaker 2>Well we'll do AFC around the horn.

0:55:04.000 --> 0:55:11.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, AFC, a FC, Bills, Bengals, Jags, Chiefs, your division winners,

0:55:11.960 --> 0:55:13.160
<v Speaker 3>is that everything you said, Matt?

0:55:13.480 --> 0:55:16.719
<v Speaker 1>My wild cards are Ravens, Chargers, Dolphins.

0:55:17.360 --> 0:55:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Bills, Bengals, Jaguars, Chiefs. We're all in consensus on division winners. Chargers, Ravens, Dolphins.

0:55:27.640 --> 0:55:28.799
<v Speaker 2>Did I just take yours? Yeah?

0:55:28.840 --> 0:55:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we all have the Dolphins. So maybe the.

0:55:31.120 --> 0:55:32.960
<v Speaker 2>AFC is not. Yeah, AFC's not that. This is where

0:55:33.000 --> 0:55:35.040
<v Speaker 2>it's going to be interesting NFC, Matt, you start.

0:55:34.880 --> 0:55:36.560
<v Speaker 3>But I think we me and you both left the

0:55:36.560 --> 0:55:39.239
<v Speaker 3>Browns out and like for me it is it is

0:55:39.360 --> 0:55:41.160
<v Speaker 3>Brown's Dolphins, neck and neck.

0:55:41.280 --> 0:55:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Like right there, I'm with you.

0:55:43.560 --> 0:55:46.200
<v Speaker 4>So on the NFC side of things, division winners Eagles

0:55:46.239 --> 0:55:47.960
<v Speaker 4>in the East, I have that pretty good. Like I

0:55:47.960 --> 0:55:50.520
<v Speaker 4>said I, I have the Vikings. I mean, look, they

0:55:50.520 --> 0:55:52.200
<v Speaker 4>had thirteen wins last year. So you want to tell

0:55:52.200 --> 0:55:53.759
<v Speaker 4>me about all the you want to tell me about

0:55:53.760 --> 0:55:55.879
<v Speaker 4>all the ones, Okay, we'll say you don't get two

0:55:55.880 --> 0:55:57.560
<v Speaker 4>of those. They still had eleven and still end up

0:55:57.560 --> 0:55:59.800
<v Speaker 4>with eleven wins. Eleven wins could could win that division.

0:56:00.280 --> 0:56:03.120
<v Speaker 4>So like I still have the Vikings in the North.

0:56:03.480 --> 0:56:06.879
<v Speaker 4>In the South, it's super boring. I honestly think any

0:56:06.920 --> 0:56:08.560
<v Speaker 4>of the I said this at the top, I would

0:56:08.640 --> 0:56:10.719
<v Speaker 4>not be surprised if any four of these teams were

0:56:10.719 --> 0:56:11.400
<v Speaker 4>to win this division.

0:56:11.480 --> 0:56:12.799
<v Speaker 1>That's the Bucks included, right.

0:56:12.880 --> 0:56:15.600
<v Speaker 4>So that being said, let's go ahead and just stick

0:56:15.600 --> 0:56:17.680
<v Speaker 4>with the Saints because there are at least some stability

0:56:17.719 --> 0:56:19.960
<v Speaker 4>at the quarterback position with the Saints.

0:56:20.280 --> 0:56:22.000
<v Speaker 1>And then in the West, I have the Seahawks. I really,

0:56:22.080 --> 0:56:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I really do. I have the Seahawks in the West.

0:56:24.000 --> 0:56:24.960
<v Speaker 1>So those are the four for me.

0:56:25.719 --> 0:56:27.520
<v Speaker 4>As far as a wild card, I do have the

0:56:27.520 --> 0:56:29.799
<v Speaker 4>forty nine Ers, I do have the Cowboys. And then

0:56:29.840 --> 0:56:32.160
<v Speaker 4>it comes to that seventh spot, and I don't see

0:56:32.200 --> 0:56:36.000
<v Speaker 4>a world in which a second NFC South team gets in,

0:56:36.120 --> 0:56:37.719
<v Speaker 4>so then it has to be one of the other

0:56:37.920 --> 0:56:40.840
<v Speaker 4>North teams, and I'll go ahead and say the Lions,

0:56:40.880 --> 0:56:44.080
<v Speaker 4>though I'm not ruling out it being the Packers at all.

0:56:44.120 --> 0:56:46.839
<v Speaker 4>That would by far be my least confident of any

0:56:46.920 --> 0:56:49.600
<v Speaker 4>of the playoff teams that I put in there would

0:56:49.600 --> 0:56:51.520
<v Speaker 4>be the Lions, because I think it could be the Packers.

0:56:51.560 --> 0:56:53.600
<v Speaker 4>I think it'd be like, it wouldn't shock me if

0:56:53.640 --> 0:56:55.560
<v Speaker 4>it were the Bears, and honest to God, it wouldn't

0:56:55.560 --> 0:56:57.520
<v Speaker 4>shock me if the Commanders of the Giants either. So

0:56:58.520 --> 0:57:00.719
<v Speaker 4>that seventh spot in the n see I think it's

0:57:00.719 --> 0:57:02.680
<v Speaker 4>gonna be really wacky when it all comes down to it.

0:57:04.400 --> 0:57:08.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, totally division winners for me.

0:57:10.000 --> 0:57:12.080
<v Speaker 1>See, this is so to any NFC, to some of

0:57:12.120 --> 0:57:12.880
<v Speaker 1>these division winners.

0:57:12.880 --> 0:57:15.719
<v Speaker 3>Why that's why I don't have a bet only any

0:57:15.760 --> 0:57:17.800
<v Speaker 3>of these, any of these top conferences.

0:57:17.800 --> 0:57:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Eagles Cowboys.

0:57:18.560 --> 0:57:20.880
<v Speaker 3>I didn't go either way, but I'll go Eagles Division winner,

0:57:21.160 --> 0:57:22.240
<v Speaker 3>Cowboys are in the playoffs?

0:57:22.320 --> 0:57:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Is a wildcard? Forty nine or Seahawks?

0:57:25.080 --> 0:57:27.280
<v Speaker 3>I think I think the odds where they're at now

0:57:27.400 --> 0:57:30.800
<v Speaker 3>probably are are fair odds. I liked what you know,

0:57:31.000 --> 0:57:32.440
<v Speaker 3>if I could have gotten the number that the Matt got,

0:57:32.440 --> 0:57:34.600
<v Speaker 3>I probably would have sprinkled a little bit on the Seahawks.

0:57:34.760 --> 0:57:38.520
<v Speaker 3>I'll say forty nine Ers Division winner, Seahawks in as

0:57:38.560 --> 0:57:41.520
<v Speaker 3>a wild card. I'd hate to say it, but I

0:57:41.520 --> 0:57:44.520
<v Speaker 3>think the Saints probably win the NFC South. I'd like

0:57:44.600 --> 0:57:46.640
<v Speaker 3>my odds though, on the on the Panthers. That's why

0:57:46.640 --> 0:57:48.280
<v Speaker 3>we have I have a bet on the Panthers. No,

0:57:48.360 --> 0:57:49.680
<v Speaker 3>I'm have bet on the Saints because I think the

0:57:49.680 --> 0:57:51.720
<v Speaker 3>odds are good enough on the Panthers that it makes

0:57:51.760 --> 0:57:54.560
<v Speaker 3>it worth a bet. So I've got that, and then

0:57:54.680 --> 0:57:59.040
<v Speaker 3>Packers Vikings. It's I'm putting those two same things. Ones

0:57:59.080 --> 0:58:01.040
<v Speaker 3>wins the North in one makes it in as a

0:58:01.080 --> 0:58:03.240
<v Speaker 3>wild card, but I think I think the Lions could

0:58:03.280 --> 0:58:05.720
<v Speaker 3>be involved there too. Shoot, I don't even know if

0:58:05.720 --> 0:58:07.880
<v Speaker 3>it'd be shocked if the Bears are. The NFC North

0:58:07.960 --> 0:58:09.680
<v Speaker 3>is up for grabs as well.

0:58:10.280 --> 0:58:14.120
<v Speaker 2>Philly in the East, Nighters in the West. I'll say

0:58:14.200 --> 0:58:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Saints two in the South, even though that's super boring,

0:58:17.280 --> 0:58:21.120
<v Speaker 2>and I am going to say Packers in the North.

0:58:21.280 --> 0:58:25.200
<v Speaker 2>Just for that, we go and then the wild card wound.

0:58:25.200 --> 0:58:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Go Seahawks, Cowboys and the Washington Commos.

0:58:31.680 --> 0:58:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Come on, you gotta stay on brand, Washington Commos.

0:58:34.440 --> 0:58:37.360
<v Speaker 2>I also have an alternate high regular season win total on Washington.

0:58:37.400 --> 0:58:38.800
<v Speaker 2>People know if I if they listen to the show

0:58:38.840 --> 0:58:41.120
<v Speaker 2>long enough, I if they suck, they suck. I am.

0:58:41.200 --> 0:58:43.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm all about piling on. But this is the first

0:58:43.120 --> 0:58:47.200
<v Speaker 2>year a D. Dan Snyder a D so very excited for.

0:58:47.200 --> 0:58:51.880
<v Speaker 4>Listen, listen, listen, mclauren Dotson, Like you know, they got

0:58:52.000 --> 0:58:54.840
<v Speaker 4>like the guy reciverer longest longest Sam Hawi can get

0:58:54.880 --> 0:58:56.439
<v Speaker 4>them the ball, Like, I mean, they're gonna be able

0:58:56.440 --> 0:58:57.760
<v Speaker 4>to They're gonna be able to make some places.

0:58:57.960 --> 0:58:59.760
<v Speaker 2>One of the best defensive fronts, if not the best

0:58:59.760 --> 0:59:02.560
<v Speaker 2>in all of football. They drafted Forbes, who looks good,

0:59:03.840 --> 0:59:05.240
<v Speaker 2>and then the Super Bowl because with Kelly and I

0:59:05.320 --> 0:59:07.840
<v Speaker 2>were talking about exact as, by the way, in baseball

0:59:07.920 --> 0:59:10.080
<v Speaker 2>right now, like we're just talking this morning. I think

0:59:10.120 --> 0:59:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Braves Astros exact is either way are like good prices

0:59:12.880 --> 0:59:15.360
<v Speaker 2>at sixteen and eighteen to one, Braves at sixteen to one,

0:59:15.400 --> 0:59:17.360
<v Speaker 2>to beat the Astros the other way around at eighteen

0:59:17.400 --> 0:59:20.840
<v Speaker 2>to one NFL obviously you're gonna a longer shot right now.

0:59:20.840 --> 0:59:22.480
<v Speaker 2>But if you took what were some of the numbers

0:59:22.480 --> 0:59:25.400
<v Speaker 2>we saw, and like, if you took the uh the.

0:59:25.400 --> 0:59:27.560
<v Speaker 3>Achievement to over the ones, I bet yeah, they're the

0:59:27.560 --> 0:59:29.760
<v Speaker 3>ones you bet. I bet five already, I bet five.

0:59:29.840 --> 0:59:31.920
<v Speaker 3>I bet five about I don't know if you agree

0:59:31.920 --> 0:59:33.360
<v Speaker 3>with this, but I think this is a better year

0:59:33.400 --> 0:59:36.240
<v Speaker 3>than most to play some of these exactness because I

0:59:36.440 --> 0:59:38.000
<v Speaker 3>have such limited.

0:59:37.640 --> 0:59:39.479
<v Speaker 2>If we feel like there's limited teams in the NFC,

0:59:39.680 --> 0:59:41.960
<v Speaker 2>there are limited teams in the NFC that I think

0:59:42.000 --> 0:59:42.960
<v Speaker 2>can actually go there.

0:59:42.960 --> 0:59:45.400
<v Speaker 3>So look, I think there is a Big three, but

0:59:45.520 --> 0:59:47.400
<v Speaker 3>I I have the forty, I have the Eagles and

0:59:47.400 --> 0:59:49.280
<v Speaker 3>the Cowboys. A little bit ahead of where I think

0:59:49.280 --> 0:59:51.320
<v Speaker 3>the forty nine ers are. So I chose those two

0:59:51.320 --> 0:59:52.880
<v Speaker 3>teams to key in on.

0:59:53.360 --> 0:59:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I did it.

0:59:53.920 --> 0:59:56.400
<v Speaker 3>And Eagles over Bengals at fifty two to one and

0:59:56.480 --> 0:59:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Eagles over Chargers one hundred and twenty to one, Cowboys

0:59:59.680 --> 1:00:03.440
<v Speaker 3>over ninety to one, Cowboys over Ravens two hundred, and

1:00:03.440 --> 1:00:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Cowboys over Chargers two.

1:00:04.960 --> 1:00:06.240
<v Speaker 2>These are awesome bets to have.

1:00:06.280 --> 1:00:09.240
<v Speaker 3>In pocket, though how much fun are those bets they

1:00:09.280 --> 1:00:11.320
<v Speaker 3>get to get me to the playoffs with both those

1:00:11.360 --> 1:00:15.400
<v Speaker 3>teams and their funnest phenomenal the one.

1:00:15.320 --> 1:00:16.920
<v Speaker 4>They're talking about these I bets you can get so

1:00:17.080 --> 1:00:19.040
<v Speaker 4>just just real quick to get off on a side,

1:00:19.040 --> 1:00:21.280
<v Speaker 4>like the if you go to DraftKings and you click

1:00:21.320 --> 1:00:24.040
<v Speaker 4>on the division specials and then they have an exact

1:00:24.240 --> 1:00:27.880
<v Speaker 4>order tab in there, Like so if you're super bullish

1:00:27.960 --> 1:00:30.520
<v Speaker 4>on a division winner, and you're super bullish on who's

1:00:30.560 --> 1:00:33.560
<v Speaker 4>going to be last, like you can just bet both

1:00:33.600 --> 1:00:36.280
<v Speaker 4>of the teams in the middle at like these five

1:00:36.320 --> 1:00:39.720
<v Speaker 4>and six to ones or whatever and like guarantee yourself. Well,

1:00:39.720 --> 1:00:41.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean, obviously you can go so, but like you know,

1:00:41.640 --> 1:00:43.720
<v Speaker 4>you would be basically putting your convictions in play. And

1:00:43.760 --> 1:00:45.800
<v Speaker 4>these bets that are like five and six to one,

1:00:46.040 --> 1:00:50.120
<v Speaker 4>and so you know if you really are if you're like, no, absolutely,

1:00:50.200 --> 1:00:53.600
<v Speaker 4>for sure the Jags are gonna win the South and

1:00:53.720 --> 1:00:56.480
<v Speaker 4>for sure, let's just say that you think for sure

1:00:56.520 --> 1:00:58.280
<v Speaker 4>the Texans are going to be dead last or so

1:00:58.320 --> 1:01:00.439
<v Speaker 4>then you can bet the flip flop of the other

1:01:00.440 --> 1:01:02.760
<v Speaker 4>two teams in the middle at like plus three twenty

1:01:02.760 --> 1:01:04.760
<v Speaker 4>five plus four twenty five. Like there's other ones that

1:01:04.800 --> 1:01:06.280
<v Speaker 4>are like five and six to one and somebody that.

1:01:06.320 --> 1:01:08.640
<v Speaker 4>So again you can kind of like explore around with

1:01:08.680 --> 1:01:10.520
<v Speaker 4>some of those things where if you know the first

1:01:10.520 --> 1:01:12.840
<v Speaker 4>in the last, it doesn't really matter what the teams

1:01:12.880 --> 1:01:14.920
<v Speaker 4>are in the middle, Like if you think it's Chiefs

1:01:15.000 --> 1:01:16.680
<v Speaker 4>Raiders and that that you don't really know if it'll

1:01:16.720 --> 1:01:19.400
<v Speaker 4>be Chargers or Broncos. Like it's three to one for

1:01:19.400 --> 1:01:22.040
<v Speaker 4>for Chiefs, Chargers Broncos Raiders, and then it's four to

1:01:22.080 --> 1:01:25.760
<v Speaker 4>one for Chiefs Broncos, Chargers Raiders, right, and so there's

1:01:25.840 --> 1:01:30.760
<v Speaker 4>like all of those Yeah.

1:01:28.800 --> 1:01:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, just to be clear, you're talking order of finish

1:01:31.560 --> 1:01:36.479
<v Speaker 2>in a division, right, Okay, while to figure out what yeah, okay, yeah, gotcha, you.

1:01:36.440 --> 1:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Have to bet one through four. So he'd have to

1:01:38.560 --> 1:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>bet both of those.

1:01:39.400 --> 1:01:40.280
<v Speaker 2>But I hear what you're saying.

1:01:40.360 --> 1:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, you think it makes sense. Yeah yeah, Just.

1:01:42.480 --> 1:01:44.400
<v Speaker 4>Like if you're confident in the winner and who's going

1:01:44.480 --> 1:01:46.240
<v Speaker 4>to be last, right, and then like you, then you

1:01:46.240 --> 1:01:48.840
<v Speaker 4>can just bet both sides of the of who finishes

1:01:48.880 --> 1:01:51.480
<v Speaker 4>second and third, you're still getting over three to one.

1:01:51.800 --> 1:01:53.760
<v Speaker 4>Like the smallest one that you can play is three

1:01:53.800 --> 1:01:55.720
<v Speaker 4>to one on any of the divisions.

1:01:55.760 --> 1:01:59.080
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, it's a good point. I'm just thinking, what's

1:01:59.120 --> 1:02:01.440
<v Speaker 2>the division that lead off the page? Is what you

1:02:01.560 --> 1:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>might be the most confident in. I'm guessing most people

1:02:05.520 --> 1:02:07.600
<v Speaker 2>would think it's that Matt doesn't but most people would

1:02:07.600 --> 1:02:10.280
<v Speaker 2>think it's San Francisco, Arizona. Perhaps in the NFC West.

1:02:10.440 --> 1:02:15.040
<v Speaker 2>If you think Chiefs Raiders, the chief Raiders Chiefs or

1:02:15.120 --> 1:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs Raiders, some people think it would be Chiefs Raiders.

1:02:17.320 --> 1:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>You really think the Raiders are last place in the

1:02:19.320 --> 1:02:19.840
<v Speaker 2>in the a f C.

1:02:21.000 --> 1:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>I I really do you know?

1:02:23.280 --> 1:02:28.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I really is there is? There is? This

1:02:28.200 --> 1:02:30.640
<v Speaker 2>is great? Is there an a f C South Cellar?

1:02:30.920 --> 1:02:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Like you, we love the Jaguars, So the Jaguars will

1:02:32.960 --> 1:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>be the number one division winner? I think consensus. Is

1:02:37.400 --> 1:02:39.360
<v Speaker 2>there a bottom team in that Division.

1:02:39.520 --> 1:02:41.800
<v Speaker 4>Well, so you would almost play that one, like the

1:02:41.800 --> 1:02:46.000
<v Speaker 4>the varying versions of of like Jags Titans and yeah

1:02:46.080 --> 1:02:50.360
<v Speaker 4>yeah whatever, yeah yeah yeah, something like jack Jags Titans.

1:02:50.360 --> 1:02:50.680
<v Speaker 2>And then.

1:02:52.120 --> 1:02:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Because you could do that NFC East too, Like if

1:02:54.440 --> 1:02:57.320
<v Speaker 3>you're as bullish as me, Eagles Cowboys, you could bet

1:02:57.400 --> 1:03:01.840
<v Speaker 3>both options where it's commanders three jihiens for Giants three commands.

1:03:02.400 --> 1:03:04.400
<v Speaker 2>What was Bengals over Niners and the exactly I would

1:03:04.400 --> 1:03:05.760
<v Speaker 2>play the Bengals over Niners.

1:03:06.400 --> 1:03:08.720
<v Speaker 4>Uh so for me as far as Super Bowl, like, look,

1:03:08.840 --> 1:03:12.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm I could not be higher on this Eagles team.

1:03:12.200 --> 1:03:16.320
<v Speaker 4>I mean, like it is, it's just almost impossible to

1:03:16.480 --> 1:03:19.560
<v Speaker 4>like nitpick other than the fact that they're replacing coordinators.

1:03:19.600 --> 1:03:23.080
<v Speaker 4>But it's like you're replacing coordinators on the most loaded

1:03:23.080 --> 1:03:25.120
<v Speaker 4>team in the NFL, Like that makes the transition a

1:03:25.200 --> 1:03:28.400
<v Speaker 4>lot easier. Whenever you're stepping into the best offensive line

1:03:28.640 --> 1:03:32.000
<v Speaker 4>and the best defensive line and like awesome corners and

1:03:32.080 --> 1:03:34.800
<v Speaker 4>great skill position player, like that makes the transition a

1:03:34.800 --> 1:03:36.440
<v Speaker 4>lot easier than it is for a lot of these

1:03:36.440 --> 1:03:38.880
<v Speaker 4>coordinators that are coming in on all of this. And

1:03:38.960 --> 1:03:41.120
<v Speaker 4>so it's very very hard for me to get past

1:03:41.160 --> 1:03:45.120
<v Speaker 4>the Eagles. So I got the Eagles winning at all,

1:03:45.120 --> 1:03:46.480
<v Speaker 4>and it just kind of is what is on the

1:03:46.560 --> 1:03:48.760
<v Speaker 4>on the AFC side of things, on the SC side

1:03:48.760 --> 1:03:52.120
<v Speaker 4>of things. As long as I as long as like

1:03:52.160 --> 1:03:54.360
<v Speaker 4>the first couple of weeks get by and it looks

1:03:54.440 --> 1:03:56.919
<v Speaker 4>like Joe Burrow is actually Joe Burrow and this calf

1:03:56.920 --> 1:04:00.000
<v Speaker 4>thing is not a lingering thing, then I will say Cincinnati.

1:04:00.240 --> 1:04:04.400
<v Speaker 4>But like, I'm reserving that because these cap injuries can

1:04:04.440 --> 1:04:06.800
<v Speaker 4>be a thing, So I don't want to, like, I

1:04:06.800 --> 1:04:08.160
<v Speaker 4>don't want to like go out on a limb right

1:04:08.160 --> 1:04:10.360
<v Speaker 4>now and say that whenever, so I'll stay I'll say

1:04:10.400 --> 1:04:13.000
<v Speaker 4>Chiefs for now, but I really want to say Cincinnati

1:04:13.040 --> 1:04:14.640
<v Speaker 4>so long as it looks like Joe Burrow's fine.

1:04:14.880 --> 1:04:16.600
<v Speaker 2>And part of me as we're saying this, because like

1:04:16.800 --> 1:04:18.360
<v Speaker 2>I obviously love the Niners too, But part of me

1:04:18.360 --> 1:04:20.600
<v Speaker 2>as we're saying this, I'm thinking, how many times in

1:04:20.640 --> 1:04:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl history have we had the same two teams

1:04:23.120 --> 1:04:25.680
<v Speaker 2>play back to back. I know we had the Bills

1:04:25.680 --> 1:04:29.320
<v Speaker 2>and the Cowboys to it. This feels as close to

1:04:29.440 --> 1:04:32.880
<v Speaker 2>a Chief's Eagles repeat. Also because the Eagles. As you're

1:04:32.920 --> 1:04:35.040
<v Speaker 2>talking about the Eagles, man, I'm thinking to myself, I'm

1:04:35.080 --> 1:04:37.240
<v Speaker 2>like They're the kind of team that as soon as

1:04:37.240 --> 1:04:39.960
<v Speaker 2>you watch them for like two drives, you're like, everything

1:04:39.960 --> 1:04:43.640
<v Speaker 2>else that we think is bullshit. They're so good. They're

1:04:43.760 --> 1:04:46.600
<v Speaker 2>so good, and all this other stuff is might just

1:04:46.640 --> 1:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>be nonsense, and they just keep adding players and that

1:04:49.080 --> 1:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Georgia defense. So I guess we close with this. What's

1:04:54.680 --> 1:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>the consensus opinion that you've heard others have? Like, so,

1:04:59.320 --> 1:05:01.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, we all talk people, we all do shows,

1:05:01.360 --> 1:05:04.600
<v Speaker 2>we all have football guests. What's the opinion you've heard

1:05:05.360 --> 1:05:08.640
<v Speaker 2>over and over again seemingly that you just have the

1:05:08.760 --> 1:05:12.560
<v Speaker 2>hardest time buying into where You're like, how come everybody

1:05:12.640 --> 1:05:15.960
<v Speaker 2>keep saying this is gonna happen? And I just don't

1:05:15.960 --> 1:05:18.680
<v Speaker 2>buy it at all? What's that we'll leave on that?

1:05:19.320 --> 1:05:21.800
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, mineus that this Baltimore Ravens pass game is just

1:05:21.840 --> 1:05:24.000
<v Speaker 4>going to be exponentially better like that, Like all I

1:05:24.120 --> 1:05:27.520
<v Speaker 4>keep hearing is, oh, well, Lamar Lamar wants to throw more.

1:05:27.640 --> 1:05:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, great, cool that Lamar wants to throw more.

1:05:30.040 --> 1:05:31.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, Lamar didn't call the place, you know, I mean,

1:05:32.240 --> 1:05:33.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, like Lamar I di can call the play.

1:05:33.760 --> 1:05:36.959
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's great. You know, he's also done extremely well.

1:05:37.760 --> 1:05:42.440
<v Speaker 2>He also doesn't how can I put this excel Yeah.

1:05:41.560 --> 1:05:43.840
<v Speaker 1>You brought it? Oh Noell, I mean we have any idea.

1:05:43.880 --> 1:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean we don't.

1:05:45.080 --> 1:05:45.720
<v Speaker 2>We don't.

1:05:46.360 --> 1:05:49.440
<v Speaker 4>He might be like everyone's just like, oh this offense,

1:05:49.520 --> 1:05:51.880
<v Speaker 4>h Todd Monk and whatever. It's like, I am not

1:05:51.960 --> 1:05:54.280
<v Speaker 4>buying into the fact that, like, oh, just just because

1:05:54.360 --> 1:05:56.520
<v Speaker 4>Lamar said he wants to throw more and and Todd

1:05:56.560 --> 1:05:58.760
<v Speaker 4>moncan this is going to be a great passing offense

1:05:58.800 --> 1:06:00.560
<v Speaker 4>and it's not even gonna resum but what we've seen

1:06:00.560 --> 1:06:03.520
<v Speaker 4>in the past, well, guess what, Like your best weapon

1:06:03.840 --> 1:06:06.800
<v Speaker 4>is the fact that your quarterback is it's gobile. It's

1:06:06.800 --> 1:06:08.840
<v Speaker 4>like he can create all this stuff on his own.

1:06:08.880 --> 1:06:10.880
<v Speaker 4>So like you would almost be doing yourself a disservice

1:06:11.280 --> 1:06:13.160
<v Speaker 4>if you do not run the offense the way that

1:06:13.240 --> 1:06:16.800
<v Speaker 4>Lamar Jackson is best suited. So for me, it's that

1:06:16.880 --> 1:06:19.440
<v Speaker 4>this like pass game for the for the Ravens is

1:06:19.520 --> 1:06:20.800
<v Speaker 4>gonna be like just blow us away.

1:06:21.000 --> 1:06:22.720
<v Speaker 2>This is an excellent man. I never say what an

1:06:22.720 --> 1:06:24.720
<v Speaker 2>excellent question I've just said, But this is this actually

1:06:24.800 --> 1:06:26.840
<v Speaker 2>has me thinking because I can think of one.

1:06:27.720 --> 1:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>I think you know exactly where I'm going.

1:06:29.280 --> 1:06:30.320
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be the same as mine.

1:06:30.360 --> 1:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Patriots.

1:06:31.040 --> 1:06:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, that wasn't so consensus,

1:06:33.640 --> 1:06:33.840
<v Speaker 2>was it.

1:06:34.080 --> 1:06:37.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay, it's maybe not consensus, it's not consensus. But I

1:06:37.960 --> 1:06:42.320
<v Speaker 3>have heard way more Patriots lost. Yes, I was ever expecting.

1:06:42.360 --> 1:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>And that includes season long, includes week one because well.

1:06:45.560 --> 1:06:48.200
<v Speaker 2>We just we just heard doctor Bob has one NFL

1:06:48.240 --> 1:06:51.640
<v Speaker 2>pick week one. He's like Patriots and the points at the.

1:06:51.560 --> 1:06:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Eagles, and I think, but no, no, no, they're at home.

1:06:53.480 --> 1:06:53.880
<v Speaker 2>They're at home.

1:06:53.920 --> 1:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh at home, yeah're at home, right, But I mean, I.

1:06:55.920 --> 1:06:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Think the bet that I've got closest to making so far,

1:06:59.160 --> 1:07:02.160
<v Speaker 3>well was the Seahawk yesterday, but since then it would

1:07:02.200 --> 1:07:02.760
<v Speaker 3>be the Eagles.

1:07:02.840 --> 1:07:04.880
<v Speaker 1>If a three pops, I'll lay of the Eagles, I'll

1:07:04.880 --> 1:07:05.680
<v Speaker 1>play with three of.

1:07:05.640 --> 1:07:09.400
<v Speaker 2>The three will last for a second and a half exactly.

1:07:09.520 --> 1:07:13.720
<v Speaker 3>So I look, all due respect to JVT. I know

1:07:13.840 --> 1:07:16.720
<v Speaker 3>he loves the Patriots. Patriots this year too. I've just

1:07:16.760 --> 1:07:19.439
<v Speaker 3>been if you want to tell me, you're like, eh,

1:07:19.640 --> 1:07:21.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't really know what this Patriot seems gonna be

1:07:21.480 --> 1:07:23.720
<v Speaker 3>there in a tough division, like I think they could

1:07:23.720 --> 1:07:24.200
<v Speaker 3>be a little bit.

1:07:24.400 --> 1:07:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm okay with that.

1:07:25.480 --> 1:07:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Some of these people that are like that think they're

1:07:28.160 --> 1:07:29.760
<v Speaker 3>a legit playoff team.

1:07:29.880 --> 1:07:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I just I can't get there with them.

1:07:32.080 --> 1:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Mine is and I don't. Again, this is in the

1:07:34.480 --> 1:07:39.640
<v Speaker 2>league's worst division. So might it end up manifesting? Sure,

1:07:39.640 --> 1:07:42.720
<v Speaker 2>I guess they could. But the universal at least it

1:07:42.840 --> 1:07:46.840
<v Speaker 2>seems like the universal love for the Atlanta Falcons from

1:07:46.960 --> 1:07:50.480
<v Speaker 2>like a million guests this offseason is the one that

1:07:50.560 --> 1:07:51.160
<v Speaker 2>troubles me.

1:07:51.240 --> 1:07:53.400
<v Speaker 3>That do you feel like that simmered down a bit

1:07:53.520 --> 1:07:56.240
<v Speaker 3>a little? I thought about that a couple of weeks ago.

1:07:56.320 --> 1:07:59.439
<v Speaker 2>I just don't know how you immediately think Desmond Ridder

1:07:59.520 --> 1:08:02.160
<v Speaker 2>is going to be good. I just don't. I can't

1:08:02.200 --> 1:08:04.080
<v Speaker 2>make that leap, I guess, is what I'm saying. So

1:08:05.800 --> 1:08:07.640
<v Speaker 2>I just like, where are we doing this? Why does

1:08:07.680 --> 1:08:10.520
<v Speaker 2>everybody have this opinion? So I just want to slow

1:08:10.600 --> 1:08:12.640
<v Speaker 2>everybody's role on that, at least in my head, because

1:08:12.640 --> 1:08:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I keep every time that came up, I'm like, why

1:08:14.320 --> 1:08:16.439
<v Speaker 2>is this? Yeah, we all get together and decides. But

1:08:16.479 --> 1:08:18.000
<v Speaker 2>that was kind of the deal on the Lions if

1:08:18.000 --> 1:08:20.639
<v Speaker 2>you remember last offseason, and it took half the season

1:08:20.680 --> 1:08:22.759
<v Speaker 2>to actually finally kick in right, and then it did

1:08:23.240 --> 1:08:24.680
<v Speaker 2>and they ended up with the season win to lover

1:08:24.720 --> 1:08:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Bol when they're like one in six to begin the season.

1:08:27.000 --> 1:08:27.680
<v Speaker 2>I believe so.

1:08:28.400 --> 1:08:30.200
<v Speaker 3>And that was a great point, you know from from

1:08:30.200 --> 1:08:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Mark here, who we've all talked to a million times,

1:08:32.320 --> 1:08:35.000
<v Speaker 3>but I remember him last summer, right, he was really

1:08:35.000 --> 1:08:35.439
<v Speaker 3>big on.

1:08:35.400 --> 1:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>The Lions, on what he thought they could do last

1:08:38.120 --> 1:08:38.719
<v Speaker 1>last season.

1:08:38.760 --> 1:08:40.160
<v Speaker 3>And when we talked to him just a couple of

1:08:40.160 --> 1:08:43.240
<v Speaker 3>weeks ago, he was kind of mentioned like, hey, all

1:08:43.320 --> 1:08:45.479
<v Speaker 3>that love that I had for that team is reflected

1:08:45.520 --> 1:08:47.760
<v Speaker 3>in the odds this year, and I can't it's even

1:08:47.840 --> 1:08:50.000
<v Speaker 3>swung too far for him where He's like, I can't

1:08:50.000 --> 1:08:52.360
<v Speaker 3>even get get on that train because the odds have

1:08:52.400 --> 1:08:53.120
<v Speaker 3>swung too far.

1:08:53.520 --> 1:08:56.320
<v Speaker 2>All right, I think we covered Is anything else we

1:08:56.360 --> 1:08:59.040
<v Speaker 2>didn't cover of? Note, like you leave on got all

1:08:59.120 --> 1:08:59.599
<v Speaker 2>my bets?

1:08:59.680 --> 1:09:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean anything you've bet for Week one?

1:09:03.439 --> 1:09:05.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a good question. What's your survivor play?

1:09:05.920 --> 1:09:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Tell us? Yeah, you know what, I haven't. I haven't

1:09:09.320 --> 1:09:12.360
<v Speaker 1>even decided that yet. Yeah, I haven't even I haven't

1:09:12.360 --> 1:09:15.280
<v Speaker 1>even decided that yet. Where I'm gonna go with all that?

1:09:15.360 --> 1:09:17.360
<v Speaker 4>No, I honestly, my Week one the only thing I

1:09:17.360 --> 1:09:19.439
<v Speaker 4>have in the account as of as of right now.

1:09:19.479 --> 1:09:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I did take.

1:09:20.120 --> 1:09:23.640
<v Speaker 4>I took the Eagles at four on the road. I

1:09:23.640 --> 1:09:26.880
<v Speaker 4>guess against the Patriots, like it. Just as soon as

1:09:26.920 --> 1:09:29.320
<v Speaker 4>the number came out, like I just I took it.

1:09:29.320 --> 1:09:30.080
<v Speaker 4>It went to four and a half.

1:09:30.120 --> 1:09:30.559
<v Speaker 1>Now it's back.

1:09:30.680 --> 1:09:32.360
<v Speaker 4>I mean, hell, now it's down to three and a half,

1:09:32.360 --> 1:09:34.360
<v Speaker 4>which I don't know. Maybe I'm on the wrong side here,

1:09:34.400 --> 1:09:36.720
<v Speaker 4>But prove it to me. I guess, like, I mean,

1:09:36.760 --> 1:09:39.360
<v Speaker 4>you know whatever, prove it to me. I guess I don't.

1:09:39.479 --> 1:09:41.840
<v Speaker 4>I think that Juju Smith Schuster was a product of

1:09:41.880 --> 1:09:44.200
<v Speaker 4>having the best quarterback in the NFL throwing the ball

1:09:44.240 --> 1:09:46.799
<v Speaker 4>all season long. So now he's gonna be catching passes

1:09:46.800 --> 1:09:49.360
<v Speaker 4>for mac Jones. Good luck with that, you know. I mean, like,

1:09:49.439 --> 1:09:52.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm just I'm not buying into any of that, any

1:09:52.320 --> 1:09:54.120
<v Speaker 4>of that stuff. So I think the Eagles go in

1:09:54.120 --> 1:09:54.720
<v Speaker 4>and thump them.

1:09:54.840 --> 1:09:57.280
<v Speaker 2>I do too, I did to. Well, Bob's thing was

1:09:57.320 --> 1:10:00.080
<v Speaker 2>about like, oh it was Matt Patricia, Joe Judge and

1:10:00.080 --> 1:10:00.559
<v Speaker 2>all that shit.

1:10:01.400 --> 1:10:04.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the consensus argument is that there's gonna be

1:10:04.840 --> 1:10:07.960
<v Speaker 3>a there is a massive gap in what your coordinators

1:10:07.960 --> 1:10:09.400
<v Speaker 3>were from last year to this year.

1:10:09.439 --> 1:10:10.720
<v Speaker 1>I get that. I understand that.

1:10:11.120 --> 1:10:13.479
<v Speaker 4>But Dan though Bill O'Brien has gone through the Nick

1:10:13.520 --> 1:10:17.560
<v Speaker 4>Saban rehabilitation programs, so there is like we know, but

1:10:17.840 --> 1:10:18.240
<v Speaker 4>as far.

1:10:18.160 --> 1:10:20.880
<v Speaker 3>As I know, Bill O'Brien isn't taking snaps under center.

1:10:20.920 --> 1:10:23.120
<v Speaker 3>So like, I think that still applies, and I think

1:10:23.160 --> 1:10:25.880
<v Speaker 3>there's a lot of people that feel because of the coordinators,

1:10:26.200 --> 1:10:28.439
<v Speaker 3>what you saw Mac Jones two years ago and what

1:10:28.479 --> 1:10:32.000
<v Speaker 3>you saw them last year, he's probably somewhere in between

1:10:32.520 --> 1:10:33.200
<v Speaker 3>or closer to.

1:10:33.120 --> 1:10:35.920
<v Speaker 1>The year one, which I think that all makes sense.

1:10:36.000 --> 1:10:38.759
<v Speaker 3>But as we've talked about here, I think you're stuck

1:10:38.760 --> 1:10:40.840
<v Speaker 3>in a very tough division. I think it's still a

1:10:40.960 --> 1:10:43.640
<v Speaker 3>very big, uphill climbed ass this team to do a

1:10:43.680 --> 1:10:44.280
<v Speaker 3>whole lot.

1:10:44.160 --> 1:10:48.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, So this year we're pumped because, by the way,

1:10:48.160 --> 1:10:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Kelly and I do a show called The Numbers Game

1:10:49.840 --> 1:10:53.000
