WEBVTT - How To Bet The Games No One Wants | NFL Week 18

0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Favorites presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours.

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>We are an Action Network podcast, and the regular season

0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:20.400
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL is wrap it up. I'm Brandon Kravitz

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>back at it on this fine Tuesday morning. The first

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Lady of the pod, Kendri Middleton, is with us the

0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 1>Prime Minister of DJA Nation Stuckey as well, who is

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>ready to run through the machinations that are involved in

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Week eighteen in the NFL. We've got our Plant the

0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Flag game for Week eighteen. No more Thursday night football,

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>so no preview to get to there, but we've got

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>scenarios galore and of course the main event, Evan's Tuesday

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Primer live as of right now on Actionnetwork dot com.

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Here's what we know, as far as I understand it.

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 1>The Broncos clinch the AFC West. The Patriots have clinched

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the AFCs. The Texans, Chargers, and Bills all share the

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.399
<v Speaker 1>same record. They are locked into the playoffs, but not

0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 1>necessarily into their specific seting. The Bears have clinched the

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>NFC North, The Eagles have clinched the NFC East. The

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:16.399
<v Speaker 1>Seahawks and forty nine Ers fight it out for the

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:19.520
<v Speaker 1>one seed on Saturday, and the Packers are locked in

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 1>to the seventh spot. Stucky, did I nail this? Yeah?

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's those are the certainties. I mean to

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 2>run through everything to give everyone like a high level.

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 2>I'll try to do it in like two minutes. So Denver,

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 2>where is yours?

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:36.320
<v Speaker 1>My friend?

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.160
<v Speaker 2>So Denver hosts the Chargers. If they win, they clinched

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 2>the one seed because they have the tiebreaker over the Patriots.

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 2>The Chargers in very uncharger like fashion because last week

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 2>can Beek eighteen with a chance to go from the

0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 2>sixth seed to the five seed. They play their starters.

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Looks like they're going to start Trey Lance rest starters,

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 2>which is why Denver is now a significant double digit favorite.

0:01:57.320 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 2>So if Denver wins that game, they clinched the one seat,

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 2>they will have a buy and home field advantage throughout.

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 2>So if New England, say, say the Broncos blow out

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 2>the Chargers, Pats rest their starters, and you know you

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 2>have the Dolphins come back to win. Well, if the

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Jags were to win, the Jags would jump the Pats.

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 2>So maybe the Pats say we want to win this

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.640
<v Speaker 2>game and lock up the two regardless that that's a

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 2>decision has to be made internally. But keep that in

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>mind because just because the Broncos win doesn't mean that

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>the Pets still can't lose a seed, but they will

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 2>either be the two or the three. If we assume

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 2>that the Broncos win and the Patriots win Broncos are one,

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Patriots are two, then your three seed comes down to

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville or Houston, the winner of that division. Jacksonville wins,

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>they win the division. If Jacksonville loses that and the

0:02:55.160 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Texans win, the Texans win the division. And then it

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 2>could get real weird where if you have the Jags. Now,

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 2>the Chargers have to win for this to happen, so

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 2>it's unlikely. But if the Jags lost and the Chargers

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 2>won and the Bills won, then the Bills, Chargers, and

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Jags would all be tied. It comes down to strength

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 2>the victory, which the Bills can't win, the Jags and

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 2>the Chargers. It would come down to like every game

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 2>would matter on Sunday. It's very close, but that's very

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>unlikely to happen. So really what you're looking at the

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 2>AFC Broncos win one seed, Pats win two seed, they're

0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>double digit favorites. Jags also a double digit favorite. Likely

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.400
<v Speaker 2>the three seed winner of the AFC North between the

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 2>Steelers and Ravens on Sunday night is the four seed,

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>and then you know, most likely the Texans will end

0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 2>up being the five seed. They will travel to the

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>winner of the AFC North between the Steelers and the Ravens,

0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>and then you know you're gonna have the So if

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 2>the Chargers lose, they're resting everyone, and then the Bills win,

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I assume they're gonna rest everyone as well. Then the

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Chargers to the seventh seed and they would go to

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 2>presumably New England, Buffalo would go to Jacksonville. So that's

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 2>how I think it's probably gonna work out. Now in

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 2>the NFL that rarely happens, but I think the way

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 2>that it's going to look Denver by Chargers at Patriots,

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Bills at Jags, Texans at Raven's that's how I think

0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 2>it plays out NFC. While you have McVeigh came out,

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Rams lose again last week. I mean, it's crazy what's

0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.720
<v Speaker 2>happening in ten day A ten day stretch for the

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Rams who looked like they were headed to the.

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:35.839
<v Speaker 3>One C the question about the AFC before we move on.

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 4>Sure, do you think because of last night and what

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:43.040
<v Speaker 4>happened with Matt Stafford it changes any of the Patriots

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 4>plans for MVP for Drake May and incentives that they

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.799
<v Speaker 4>have to hit for Hunter Henry and Stefan Diggs.

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I think regardless, they're they're gonna play

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>him and play their full offense in the first half,

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 2>and I think that they'll probably play most of the

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 2>game because like the two seas could end up being valuable.

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 2>They ad he's wide open, like Denver is your one, right,

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 2>so like Denver is very vulnerable to getting the two

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 2>compared to the three could mean that you're hosting the

0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 2>AFC Championship game. So I think regardless, he's gonna play

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>most of the game. Like where where could like if

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the Jags somehow are getting blown out and the you know,

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 2>the the Broncos are blowing out the Chargers, then maybe

0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 2>we rest them late. But I do think that they

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 2>he'll get his numbers in the first half and there

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.640
<v Speaker 2>are some incentives there that could matter. So I think

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 2>for the most part, you'll see the Patriots starters for

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 2>like a half, three quarters, most likely for the full game,

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.280
<v Speaker 2>but there could be some scoreboard watching. But that is

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 2>a good point. But in the NFC you have the

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 2>Packers are locked in to the seven. The one seed

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 2>is going to go to the winner of the Seahawks

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 2>and forty nine Ers, which is on Saturday. If the

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>forty nine Ers win, they get home field throughout through

0:05:57.720 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>the Super Bowl, which we'll hear a lot of. And

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.159
<v Speaker 2>if the forty nine Ers win, keep this in mind,

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 2>Seattle locked into the five. So Seattle's in a good spot.

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 2>They're either get the one seed or the five, and

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:10.479
<v Speaker 2>then they go to the winner of the NFC North.

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 2>If that happens, the Rams are locked into the six.

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:15.359
<v Speaker 2>Now McVeigh came out and said he's gonna rest his

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean he's gonna play his starters, which is very

0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 2>unlike McVeigh, which makes sense if the Seahawks win on Saturday.

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Because if the Seahawks win on Saturday, they can jump

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:26.400
<v Speaker 2>up to the five. That's a big difference. That's a

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 2>difference between going most likely to Philly or to the

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>NFC the NFC South winner. So I think that's what's

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 2>gonna make that decision with the Rams is the result

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 2>of the Seahawks forty nine Ers game. But if the

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.799
<v Speaker 2>forty nine Ers win, Rams are locked into the six.

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.280
<v Speaker 2>If the Seahawks win, Seahawks have the one. Rams can

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 2>jump up to the five with a win, and then

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 2>the forty nine Ers would drop to the six. If

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 2>the Rams get upset by the Cardinals, then you know

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 2>they would be the six. The forty nine Ers would

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.720
<v Speaker 2>be the five. The two to three is either going

0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 2>to be the Bears or the Eagles. Same record, but

0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Bears have the head to head. So Bears win at

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 2>home against the Lions. Some bad blood there. I'm sure

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 2>the Lions are gonna try. They have a lot of injuries.

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who they're gonna end up sitting out,

0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 2>but they're gonna try Stan Campbell. But if the Bears

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 2>win that game, they clinch the number two seed. If

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 2>the Bears slip up to the Lions and the Eagles

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 2>beat the Commanders with what looks like it's gonna be

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 2>Josh Johnson again, then the Eagles would jump up to

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>the number two seed. I thought that the Eagles would

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.040
<v Speaker 2>play their starters. I think that that's I do think

0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 2>the two seed matters for both teams. Both the Bears

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:33.160
<v Speaker 2>and the Eagles. Like the Bear is one of the

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 2>best running teams in the NFL, you get home games

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 2>and in the NFC's wide open, like it could end

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 2>up in Seattle, like Darnold is the one seed, like

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 2>that could Bean hosting the NFC championship game. So I

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 2>think the Bears are gonna try, but it sounds like

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles might rest starters. So we'll see May and

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 2>maybe they're watching the Bears game. There's a lot of play,

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 2>but as of right now, it looks like the Bear

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 2>the Eagles might rest some key starters, and then the

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:58.239
<v Speaker 2>four seed is going to either be Carolina or Tampa.

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 2>What made this now, Well, Sunday's like there's three primary games.

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 2>We talked about this on the Sunday Night episode. Three

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:08.120
<v Speaker 2>primary isolated island time slots that are like really impactful.

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 2>It's the forty nine Ers, Seahawks, the Panthers, Bucks, and

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:16.600
<v Speaker 2>then Sunday Night Football between the Ravens and the Steelers.

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 2>The rest of the Sunday slate is pretty ass. However,

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 2>if the Bucks win, it got a lot more interesting

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 2>because of last night because the Pan. If the Bucks win,

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.679
<v Speaker 2>the Panthers get in if the Falcons beat the Saints,

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.560
<v Speaker 2>so all of a sudden, this Falcon Saints game becomes

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>a playing game, even though neither team is making the playoffs,

0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 2>which makes that super interesting. Rest of the Sunday slate

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 2>pretty boring as far as the afternoon slates go. But

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 2>the most likely scenario, Seattle is your one. So what

0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I think is gonna happen. I really Seattle stand Frans

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.520
<v Speaker 2>a coin flip. But if Seattle wins, then so like,

0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 2>let's let's take the scenario where Seattle wins. Seattle wins,

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:04.679
<v Speaker 2>I think the Rams play their starters and then they

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 2>beat the Cardinals, which would mean that the Rams jump

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.840
<v Speaker 2>up to the five, would go to Carolina or Tampa.

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 2>The forty nine ers would go to Philly if the

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.360
<v Speaker 2>Bears win, and then the Packers would go to the Bears.

0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 2>Banger games, Seattle gets to buy, but if the forty

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.400
<v Speaker 2>nine ers. When forty nine ers get to buy, Seattle

0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:29.839
<v Speaker 2>goes to the NFC South winner, the Rams go to Philly,

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.079
<v Speaker 2>and then the Packers go to the Bears. Now the

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Bears lose, it would beat Packers going to the Eagles

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 2>and Rams going to the Bears. Banger Games in the

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:43.079
<v Speaker 2>NFC A lot to sort through. Hope all that made sense,

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 2>but that's kind of the everything that you need to know.

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Well done, well done. That was a very NBA two minutes.

0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I believe Kendrick.

0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.199
<v Speaker 2>When I say two minutes, I mean ten.

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 4>I think it was week with my interruption, it was

0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:58.320
<v Speaker 4>about six and a half.

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 3>No, he might be better at our jobs than we are.

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:08.360
<v Speaker 4>I have to kill air on the radio before a

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 4>break so often, Stuck, you should get into radio.

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's kind of podcasting with the radio stuff.

0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, four hours feeling. It's hard to do a

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 1>show by yourself. I think Stucky would be able to

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>do that with general ease. That would not be a concern.

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:34.560
<v Speaker 4>Now in the summer and there's no sports on Tough,

0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:36.079
<v Speaker 4>but Stuck could do it.

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 1>I would bet a lot of money. That would be

0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 1>very juice on the money line. Now there's another side

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.960
<v Speaker 1>to this. Those are all the things that matter, Kendra.

0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>You have said, as salty as you were about it

0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, I'm not into it. I'm not trying to

0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:57.200
<v Speaker 1>bet this ship. I'm good you hate it.

0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:57.839
<v Speaker 3>It's not fun.

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 1>So what I want what I'm gonna allow you to

0:11:00.200 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>do here is I'm gonna allow you to eliminate three

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:09.680
<v Speaker 1>games from discussion today. Can't plant the flag on them, nothing,

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Just get them out of the podcast, get them out

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.960
<v Speaker 1>of your mind, and move the hell on. What three

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:18.320
<v Speaker 1>games would you like to nominate?

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Of course, before before she answers that I this will

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:23.559
<v Speaker 2>make it a little more fun, I do want to

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.560
<v Speaker 2>say that. I for every week eighteen and actually for

0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:32.680
<v Speaker 2>every week I do do this. I had somehow there's

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 2>three games that I for my notes for all of

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.520
<v Speaker 2>them before I broke them down, I just wrote no thanks,

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 2>like I'm not touching them. So I'm gonna see if.

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 3>The okay we match.

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 4>I have never been so drunk with power, and you

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 4>will never see me so drunk with power ever again,

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 4>unless for some reason I get my hands on a

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 4>T shirt cannon. But I'm gonna go Chiefs, Raiders, don't care, Cowboys, Giants,

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 4>get it the fuck out of here for two.

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 3>And I know that we have loved.

0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 4>The Saints and loved the Falcons this year, but their

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:07.199
<v Speaker 4>Super Bowl is over. This is probably what should be.

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 4>I agree with what Stucky said on Twitter. The NFC

0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 4>South play like playing game, but it's over.

0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.480
<v Speaker 3>It's done. Who cares. I've seen enough of Tyler.

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.240
<v Speaker 4>Shuck whatever, it's over, goodbye, And I'm mad at Bijon

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 4>Robinson for obvious reasons.

0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh, Bijon, we should have taken the rushing number. The

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>receiving prop killed us. We had a Monday night football

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 1>parlay that was so close.

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.000
<v Speaker 2>We're close. We're two for two on that the I

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.840
<v Speaker 2>mean the Falcon Saints game. That could be fascinating if.

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.560
<v Speaker 1>The vib into it. That's so cool.

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.840
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna get You're gonna like, yes, they're playing for

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.880
<v Speaker 2>other teams, which like ads even though like they don't care.

0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:46.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure they don't care, like which one of those

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 2>teams gets in like having that, uh, just knowing that

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 2>going into a week eighteen game after you've been eliminated,

0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.200
<v Speaker 2>I think it's pretty cool, Like that's gonna give it

0:12:56.280 --> 0:13:00.120
<v Speaker 2>both teams, like just I think some extra juice and

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 2>some intrigue if if they end up in a tie,

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 2>by the way, the Bucks would still go like, imagine

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.600
<v Speaker 2>that game goes to overtime, so.

0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.280
<v Speaker 4>That game could what if they could they tie on purpose?

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:13.840
<v Speaker 4>That would be so funny.

0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, they they also the Panthers have an incentive to tie.

0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 2>So if the Panthers tie, they're also get in. So

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 2>it's like they get to overtime and they have the

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 2>ball and like they just run out the clock. They

0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.880
<v Speaker 2>get in with the tie. If the Bucks win and

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 2>then the Saints and Falcons tie, then the Bucks get in.

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe these teams like hate secretly hate the Panthers

0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 2>and want to collude. I don't know. I'll never forget

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 2>that Week eight team game between the Raiders and Chargers

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:47.440
<v Speaker 2>when Brandon Staley called a time out to get uh

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 2>and they didn't tie when they were both incentivized to tie.

0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:54.960
<v Speaker 2>That was ridiculous. So what do we have an announcement

0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 2>here for this one?

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 4>Boston twenty five News breaking news. Patriot star Stefan Diggs

0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 4>facing strangulation and assault charges as of eleven fifteen AM.

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.679
<v Speaker 4>I can send this in our chat if we would

0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 4>like to look at it. I don't know what this

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 4>means for their playoff anything, obviously, but this is breaking

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 4>news from Boston twenty five News.

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Seven minutes to go.

0:14:24.480 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Wow, no Digs and the Pats might have to face

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the starting quarterback.

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 2>So I but Kendra, so I agree with you. Ola,

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 2>ducon a six point favorite on the road against a

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 2>team actively trying to lose. Who knows who else they're

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:45.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna sit this week, get that game, Like I'm gonna

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.720
<v Speaker 2>have red zone on on Sunday. There should I think

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 2>this will happen in the future, where like what we're

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 2>talking about, you get to select, like which games you

0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 2>don't don't want to have come along the red zone,

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:00.920
<v Speaker 2>like customizable resid I know I do that when we're

0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 2>at the bar. You can customize your three screens, and

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll do that on some of my screens, but like

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 2>give me a red zone, but skip certain games like

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 2>you like there's different posts, customizable packages that game. No,

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 2>I think the Chiefs probably want to lose two because

0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 2>of draft positioning. It's something They're playing the Broncos with

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 2>some juice at home on Christmas Night. They cared last week.

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 2>They could be as careless as they were for the

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Titans game. So that game, that's one of the worst

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:28.880
<v Speaker 2>games of the year. Chief sever Raiders.

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 4>I saw a like discourse on Twitter this week about

0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 4>what if the playoffs were structured where like the highest

0:15:37.960 --> 0:15:41.200
<v Speaker 4>seed gets to choose who they play, so like the

0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 4>one seed would pick first, and then the two seed

0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.000
<v Speaker 4>would pick from who was left, would you guy? I

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:46.920
<v Speaker 4>mean like it would make the regular season a lot

0:15:47.000 --> 0:15:47.760
<v Speaker 4>less valuable.

0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:49.800
<v Speaker 3>But I don't hate that, would you guys? Hate that?

0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:52.840
<v Speaker 1>They've talked about that in the NBA as well. I

0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:56.680
<v Speaker 1>think it's the issue becomes the optic is that you

0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:01.120
<v Speaker 1>have teams that are that are selecting what they feel

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:05.480
<v Speaker 1>to be bottom featers, and that just looks bad for

0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 1>the league. But I think it would be fun. I

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>mean that sounds like something you would do in fantasy football. Yeah,

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 1>so that could be I mean, I think it's less

0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:18.200
<v Speaker 1>offensive in the in the NFL because everybody's kind of dangerous.

0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.400
<v Speaker 1>In the NFL and the NBA, you're like, yeah, I

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 1>want them because we're going to sweep that team.

0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 2>I do think that they might be heading down a

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:29.480
<v Speaker 2>path where you have to change the way that the

0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 2>number one pick is awarded. I don't know how you

0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.720
<v Speaker 2>would do it, because the way that the league works,

0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 2>you do want the really really bad teams to be

0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 2>able to get a quarterback. But this trend now, and

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 2>this is like across sports, which we're starting to see

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 2>of like what the Raiders did last week with two

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 2>weeks to go like benching your best player who wanted

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.720
<v Speaker 2>to play. That's it. I mean, there's only seventeen games,

0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.920
<v Speaker 2>and it's that's a dangerous path and I don't like that.

0:16:55.960 --> 0:17:01.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you solve it. But the haven't

0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 2>said he liked big he likes big cats. I do

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.240
<v Speaker 2>you need a minimum amount of wins to be eligible?

0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:06.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, the way the Saints Falcons does have some

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 1>ramifications as far as the uh not for them, but

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.359
<v Speaker 1>as far as the season total goes. The the over

0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:22.560
<v Speaker 1>under for the Saints one season, early in the off season,

0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I think this was right before Derek Carr officially retired.

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:30.119
<v Speaker 2>It was six and a half and Falcons in total too, so.

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 1>They I and I that was one of three total

0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.960
<v Speaker 1>bets that I made before the season was Saints under

0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 1>six and a half wins. I need them to lose

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 1>to the Atlanta Falcons. I thought for sure a month

0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:42.639
<v Speaker 1>ago this was as safe as safe could be. And

0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>they've gone on a little heater here and then, and

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.760
<v Speaker 1>then you have the Falcons trying to play spoiler. I'm

0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of into that game and part of it

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:52.719
<v Speaker 1>is financially driven.

0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:59.400
<v Speaker 2>But Falcons win total offensive Rookie of the year. Bijon

0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.119
<v Speaker 2>is going toe it? What are the Bejon props going

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:04.960
<v Speaker 2>to be this week? After last week and they're they're

0:18:05.000 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna pepper him? Okay, what's going for the scrimmage record?

0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay? So I know that Zucky has this one coming

0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.760
<v Speaker 1>up later in the show. Brown's Bengals. Why is that interesting?

0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 4>Are you joking because Joe Burrow and the boys are hooping?

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:23.400
<v Speaker 2>Why is that interesting?

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Uh?

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:27.359
<v Speaker 2>Someone's going from Garrett? Yeah, Miles Garrett.

0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:28.080
<v Speaker 1>That's fair.

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what game would you have picked?

0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:30.560
<v Speaker 4>Like?

0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:33.480
<v Speaker 2>My other third game though is Packers Vikings. Yeah.

0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:37.200
<v Speaker 4>I thought about that, but I probably care less about

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:38.160
<v Speaker 4>the Saints and the Viking.

0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 3>About the Saints and the Falcons.

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Packers Vikings, like the Packers are rest are going to

0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.760
<v Speaker 2>rest everyone. Maybe Malik will starts, I don't know. I

0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:50.160
<v Speaker 2>don't know. But they're resting every key fire because they're

0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:53.359
<v Speaker 2>locked in last year you had love get Bang w

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.359
<v Speaker 2>Watson tears a c L. They've had so many injuries,

0:18:56.359 --> 0:19:00.359
<v Speaker 2>they're resting everyone. Maybe McCarthy plays for the Vikings, but

0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 2>there's a chance this is Max Bros.

0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:03.960
<v Speaker 3>I think he does. I was gonna say it's got

0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:04.320
<v Speaker 3>to be broad.

0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is ugly. This could be Brosmer versus Tune.

0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Brosner six point favorite against Tune. This is that. That's

0:19:10.320 --> 0:19:13.359
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs Raiders. Get that half of my life, Kendrick.

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Can we punt that one? Can we get that one

0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:16.400
<v Speaker 1>out of here? Yeah?

0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:17.280
<v Speaker 3>Sure, I don't care. We can.

0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 4>We can squash all four of them if you really

0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:20.920
<v Speaker 4>feel like it, because I don't give a shit.

0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:25.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, sounds good. We are about to dive

0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.240

<v Speaker 1>Before we get to the plays that will kick off

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:04.560
<v Speaker 1>our week, what is on your mind?

0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:09.959
<v Speaker 2>What could you have been acting?

0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 4>Before Philip Rivers was even brought up. We could all

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:24.919
<v Speaker 4>agree that bringing back somebody that old sounded insane, and

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.119
<v Speaker 4>now because of the games that we've had on Christmas

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:30.320
<v Speaker 4>and the number of backup quarterbacks, third string quarterbacks we've seen,

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:34.440
<v Speaker 4>looking back on this, it truly was the right decision.

0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:36.920
<v Speaker 4>And I think that this is probably going to wind

0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:39.920
<v Speaker 4>up changing quarterbacking as we know it. I think we're

0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.679
<v Speaker 4>probably going to see older guys stick around for longer.

0:20:43.200 --> 0:20:47.240
<v Speaker 4>This singular move honestly might have saved Kirk Cousins from

0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:50.760
<v Speaker 4>retirement or having the Falcons scratch this guaranteed money that

0:20:50.760 --> 0:20:52.639
<v Speaker 4>they were going to owe him if he stayed. I

0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:54.640
<v Speaker 4>think that they're probably happily going to give that.

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:55.000
<v Speaker 3>To him now.

0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.399
<v Speaker 4>One because of obviously Michael Pennicks tearing his same acl

0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.840
<v Speaker 4>for like the third time. But two, the value that

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.600
<v Speaker 4>Philip Rivers has shown in a veteran over some of

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 4>these young guys with the lack of experience has been.

0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Beyond eye opening.

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:12.480
<v Speaker 4>I mean, this guy was an incredible quarterback ten years ago,

0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:15.119
<v Speaker 4>Sat on the couch for five years, came back and

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:18.760
<v Speaker 4>competed and honestly better than a lot of the third

0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.119
<v Speaker 4>string young guys we saw. So I think that this

0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:24.679
<v Speaker 4>is probably going to seriously change quarterbacking in the future.

0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how you guys feel, but I.

0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:28.400
<v Speaker 4>Thought that this was a good topic to discuss because

0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.080
<v Speaker 4>I think things could seriously look really different moving forward.

0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 1>I think what it does is it restores some values

0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:40.440
<v Speaker 1>of the position that have been lost lately. We are

0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 1>so obsessed and I've certainly fallen victim to this of saying,

0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:47.400
<v Speaker 1>if this quarterback can't move, then they just can't work

0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:50.720
<v Speaker 1>in today's NFL. I think what Philip Rivers taught me

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.680
<v Speaker 1>because I thought this was going to be a disaster, leadership, ball, placement,

0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:58.160
<v Speaker 1>understanding what the defense is throwing at you, all these

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.920
<v Speaker 1>things that when I was growing up, that was all

0:22:00.960 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 1>that mattered at the quarterback position. And it seems like

0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 1>lately athleticism has become such a big component into how

0:22:09.040 --> 0:22:12.720
<v Speaker 1>we evaluate quarterbacks. And Philip Rivers couldn't fucking move and

0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the guy was still effective at the position. All of

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:17.200
<v Speaker 1>those things still.

0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 4>Good teams good teams too, Like good teams in.

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:25.359
<v Speaker 1>High pressure situations. I think we have lost sight of

0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:28.920
<v Speaker 1>how important the basics are at the quarterback position, leadership,

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 1>ball placement most specifically, And Philip Rivers showed that that's

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:34.800
<v Speaker 1>the thing that I took away from it stuck.

0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I think you need to be able

0:22:38.480 --> 0:22:40.480
<v Speaker 2>to move some to be an elite quarterback in the

0:22:40.600 --> 0:22:43.240
<v Speaker 2>NFL these days, because there's an offensive line problem in

0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. The edge rushers are getting better, although like

0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 2>there's still some guys that are just like Burrow, He's

0:22:50.119 --> 0:22:53.760
<v Speaker 2>not gonna run and he's gonna sit in the pocket.

0:22:53.920 --> 0:22:56.160
<v Speaker 2>But I think that then after like your elite guys

0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:57.879
<v Speaker 2>who can move for the for the most part, if

0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 2>you just list like the top ten quarterbacks, they're all

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 2>going to have mobility like your elite eyes. But then

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:08.160
<v Speaker 2>there's there's a quarterback shortage in the NFL, and then

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:12.439
<v Speaker 2>like there are so many bad quarterbacks that the value

0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:15.040
<v Speaker 2>of just having a guy who can who is accurate,

0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 2>can command the offense, I think was is has been lost,

0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 2>as Brandon said, And there's there's always going to be

0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:30.440
<v Speaker 2>a a place for older quarterbacks because the Steelers exist.

0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:34.440
<v Speaker 2>So what do they do next year? They're like the

0:23:35.040 --> 0:23:38.040
<v Speaker 2>falling down like them. The quarterback story for next year

0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:40.240
<v Speaker 2>is you obviously have like the Raiders are going to

0:23:40.359 --> 0:23:46.359
<v Speaker 2>draft a quarterback, right the Giants that they stick with Dart.

0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:51.280
<v Speaker 3>For sure, So like you have does Kyler move?

0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so too, I think is moving and then Kyler's

0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:58.160
<v Speaker 2>probably gone. Does Kyler like go to Miami? I don't

0:23:58.200 --> 0:24:01.359
<v Speaker 2>know what does Dan would with Daniel Jones because he

0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 2>only signed a one year deal, so he's gone, or

0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:06.400
<v Speaker 2>like that the Colts end up resigning to the other colts,

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:09.280
<v Speaker 2>the Steelers. What happens with Rogers? Like those are your

0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:13.320
<v Speaker 2>QB moving pieces? And like there's also a world where

0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:17.320
<v Speaker 2>like the Raiders draft someone but need an older guy

0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:18.400
<v Speaker 2>right as.

0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:21.520
<v Speaker 3>A bridge the same to have some questions.

0:24:21.560 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 4>I think Tyler Shuck's their guy, but they doubted they did,

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:26.120
<v Speaker 4>They doubted him for quite some time.

0:24:26.200 --> 0:24:26.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so's there's opportunities. I'm good should have to highlight

0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback shorts. It's like there was an article yesterday

0:24:32.960 --> 0:24:34.600
<v Speaker 2>I said, like here are the three teams that could

0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 2>give Daniel Jones one hundred and fifty million, like like

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:40.480
<v Speaker 2>that these guy towards ACL he's not been great his

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:42.359
<v Speaker 2>whole career. I get it good if you flashed this

0:24:42.400 --> 0:24:44.520
<v Speaker 2>year a little bit, but like that's Daniel Jones is

0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.760
<v Speaker 2>like a hot commodity. So yeah, I think it's a

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:51.879
<v Speaker 2>good point and worthy of discussion. But I liked I

0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:57.400
<v Speaker 2>think the most impressive thing about Rivers is his level

0:24:57.440 --> 0:24:59.720
<v Speaker 2>of care, Like he was like the most. He cared

0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:02.639
<v Speaker 2>more than any other cold on the field. Screaming on

0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the sidelines, Oh my.

0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 1>God, I love it.

0:25:05.240 --> 0:25:08.880
<v Speaker 2>And then that's one of the things you.

0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Know, and how many guys come into the league, even

0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:15.280
<v Speaker 1>if their veterans of five or six years, are willing

0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to scream at their offensive linemen if they if they

0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:23.600
<v Speaker 1>false start. There's I think it's a cultural thing. We're

0:25:23.640 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 1>afraid of confrontation now more than ever, and Philip Rivers

0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:30.200
<v Speaker 1>is going in on his offensive line if they screw up.

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:33.679
<v Speaker 1>That's leadership, being able to and not doing it just

0:25:33.720 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 1>because you want to be a dick, but doing it

0:25:35.840 --> 0:25:39.200
<v Speaker 1>because you're trying to be better on every single play.

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 1>It was old school leadership. It was really cool to

0:25:42.520 --> 0:25:44.159
<v Speaker 1>see and I thought it was going to be a

0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 1>train wreck and it wasn't.

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Was it really give more value?

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Like I think it gives him less in some regard

0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:52.240
<v Speaker 1>because I don't think he's a good leader. I think

0:25:52.240 --> 0:25:54.080
<v Speaker 1>it shows just how important that I.

0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:57.320
<v Speaker 4>Don't know, because like if you've seen you're a Dolphins fan,

0:25:57.359 --> 0:25:58.840
<v Speaker 4>you should have seen all this all week, all the

0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:01.240
<v Speaker 4>clips of him on the bench with Quinn helping him out,

0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 4>helping him.

0:26:01.840 --> 0:26:02.880
<v Speaker 3>Like read the iPad.

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 4>He has not gone like full scorged earth, like he's

0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:08.080
<v Speaker 4>being a mentor to Quinn you wears, And I think

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:10.600
<v Speaker 4>that that shows something from him.

0:26:11.280 --> 0:26:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Back up there's but listen up, we got sixty minutes,

0:26:14.560 --> 0:26:17.040
<v Speaker 2>sixty minutes tonight, four hours of pain. I still laugh

0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:19.440
<v Speaker 2>at his pregame type speech.

0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:24.960
<v Speaker 3>In the tunnel another day closer to doth So uh.

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it'll be well, we'll have a lot of time

0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:29.720
<v Speaker 2>to discuss. So sure, quarterback Carasel on the off season.

0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:31.679
<v Speaker 1>We're going to talk about the college ranks before we

0:26:31.680 --> 0:26:33.840
<v Speaker 1>get to our plant the flag games. Let's sling it

0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 1>over to the CFP. It's that mysterious time after Christmas Day,

0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:40.840
<v Speaker 1>right before New Year's Day that our couch becomes the

0:26:40.880 --> 0:26:45.040
<v Speaker 1>thing that we have a very intimate relationship with. That's

0:26:45.080 --> 0:26:47.480
<v Speaker 1>where we watch Quinn you ers sling the ball around

0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:51.919
<v Speaker 1>the yard and because that's where you watch your Sling TV.

0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:54.600
<v Speaker 1>The best way to not miss a single moment of

0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:58.680
<v Speaker 1>the college football playoffs is with Sling TV. So we're

0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:01.560
<v Speaker 1>going to tell the folks all about Sling TV and

0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:05.000
<v Speaker 1>how they can cover you this holiday season. With Sling TV,

0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 1>you take full control with the flexible package option of one, three,

<v Speaker 1>which includes ESPN and TNT, so that you're covered for

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:18.800
<v Speaker 1>the Orange Bowl, the Rose Bowl, the Cotton Bowl, and more. So,

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 1>tell that family friend or family member about Sling TV.

0:27:23.119 --> 0:27:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Let's put together an all day parlay for New Year's

0:27:27.880 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Day college football playoff quarterfinal games on Thursday. Stucky, Let's

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:36.880
<v Speaker 1>start with you. You're the college football guru here on

0:27:36.920 --> 0:27:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the pod. Who are we betting on New Year's Day?

0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's just start off. We'll put an anchor in their

0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Indiana on the money line to get it done. I

0:27:46.000 --> 0:27:47.760
<v Speaker 2>think much better team. I think this line is a

0:27:47.800 --> 0:27:52.040
<v Speaker 2>little short. Albama can't run the ball, they can't get pressure.

0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:56.080
<v Speaker 2>Indiana elite staff extra time to prepare here. But the

0:27:56.160 --> 0:27:59.440
<v Speaker 2>one dimensional Alabama attack. They've been so fortunate for about

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:03.320
<v Speaker 2>two months fortunate against Oklahoma, probably should have lost to Auburn,

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:05.760
<v Speaker 2>probably should have lost to South Carolina. I just don't

0:28:05.800 --> 0:28:09.120
<v Speaker 2>think this Alabama team is elite. I think this Indiana

0:28:09.160 --> 0:28:11.399
<v Speaker 2>team is clearly one of the two best teams in

0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:13.879
<v Speaker 2>the country, maybe three. If you want to throw a

0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:16.760
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame in, there is not in. But yeah, I

0:28:16.800 --> 0:28:20.840
<v Speaker 2>think Indiana is too well balanced. Like, if you look

0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:23.680
<v Speaker 2>at these teams, one of these teams can run the ball,

0:28:24.280 --> 0:28:27.480
<v Speaker 2>one of these teams can get after the quarterback, and

0:28:27.920 --> 0:28:31.360
<v Speaker 2>that one is Indiana in both aspects. I think that's

0:28:31.359 --> 0:28:34.320
<v Speaker 2>the difference. So give me the Hoosiers to advance.

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I dig it. I'm into Indiana, Kendra, what about you?

0:28:38.800 --> 0:28:41.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm going with the Oregon money line. I think the

0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:44.200
<v Speaker 4>Ducks are going to be one of the most slept

0:28:44.240 --> 0:28:47.080
<v Speaker 4>on teams throughout this entire postseason. I think that they

0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:49.400
<v Speaker 4>could win a national championship this year if some things

0:28:49.440 --> 0:28:54.320
<v Speaker 4>go right for them. For me, it's just one I

0:28:54.440 --> 0:28:57.320
<v Speaker 4>don't love a lot of times teams that spend a

0:28:57.320 --> 0:28:59.880
<v Speaker 4>ton of time on their couch in between games or

0:29:00.080 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 4>is obviously coming off of a feel good, pretty easy

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 4>win for them. I think it was an easy spot

0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:06.600
<v Speaker 4>for them to get up can give them some momentum

0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:08.480
<v Speaker 4>moving forward. But the other thing for me is that

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:11.320
<v Speaker 4>there's some continuity on their roster. And Oregon's been one

0:29:11.320 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 4>of these teams since the dawn of time who has

0:29:13.240 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 4>invested a lot of money into their program, whereas Texas

0:29:17.760 --> 0:29:20.960
<v Speaker 4>Tech hasn't. This is they're new to putting a ton

0:29:21.080 --> 0:29:23.400
<v Speaker 4>of nil all of this money into this program. It's

0:29:23.440 --> 0:29:25.960
<v Speaker 4>really the first year that it's paid dividends for them,

0:29:26.280 --> 0:29:28.960
<v Speaker 4>whereas with Oregon it's been that way for a long time,

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:31.600
<v Speaker 4>which is where they get that continuity. So I like

0:29:31.680 --> 0:29:33.960
<v Speaker 4>Oregon in this spot, don't love that they've been on

0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:35.160
<v Speaker 4>their couch for quite some time.

0:29:35.160 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 3>I think Oregon probably rolls here.

0:29:37.040 --> 0:29:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, well, then I'm gonna have to change my pick

0:29:39.800 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>because I think putting Texas Tech plus two and a

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 1>half in there would be kind of silly.

0:29:43.960 --> 0:29:46.680
<v Speaker 3>At this point, I like this one better than anyway.

0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:49.959
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm gonna go with the I'm gonna have a role.

0:29:50.040 --> 0:29:52.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm gonna throw Georgia in there at minus six

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 1>and a half against Ole Miss I think this is

0:29:55.840 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 1>where not having Lane Kiffen wasn't going to impact them

0:29:59.320 --> 0:30:03.959
<v Speaker 1>against two not having your head coach will impact you

0:30:04.280 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>against Kirby Smart with extra time to prepare. I think

0:30:08.120 --> 0:30:10.720
<v Speaker 1>people are gonna come in on Old miss after watching

0:30:10.840 --> 0:30:14.640
<v Speaker 1>them route the green wave, and uh, I think it's

0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 1>a mistake. So I will throw Georgia minus six and

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a half in there. We're gonna add Indiana's money line

0:30:21.560 --> 0:30:26.120
<v Speaker 1>and Oregon's money line as well into our college football

0:30:26.200 --> 0:30:29.960
<v Speaker 1>all day parlay. Sling TV also coming in in the

0:30:30.000 --> 0:30:33.720
<v Speaker 1>clutch for both NFL games on Saturday this week and

0:30:33.800 --> 0:30:37.040
<v Speaker 1>some NFL playoff games that are coming up. So now

0:30:37.080 --> 0:30:39.800
<v Speaker 1>is the time to acquaint yourself with Sling TVs one,

0:30:40.400 --> 0:30:44.960
<v Speaker 1>three and seven day passes. Time to plant our flag

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:48.480
<v Speaker 1>presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours.

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:52.720
<v Speaker 2>It shut up, I'm trying to plant my flag here.

0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you're really planning your flag in that thing. Kendro,

0:30:55.880 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 1>We're back to you. What are we looking at?

0:30:58.320 --> 0:30:58.400
<v Speaker 4>You?

0:30:58.520 --> 0:31:00.680
<v Speaker 3>Guys? Stole both my picks.

0:31:00.760 --> 0:31:03.920
<v Speaker 4>I logged on here and Stucky is just his brain

0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:06.120
<v Speaker 4>is just so full of anything that he doesn't often

0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 4>fill out notes. He just comes prepared and knows all

0:31:08.360 --> 0:31:10.080
<v Speaker 4>of the numbers in immediate real time.

0:31:10.480 --> 0:31:12.160
<v Speaker 3>And for the first time ever, I logged on.

0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 4>To fill on our notes, and Stucky had filled them out,

0:31:15.600 --> 0:31:18.720
<v Speaker 4>so I couldn't beat him to the pick that I wanted,

0:31:18.760 --> 0:31:20.800
<v Speaker 4>and then you had the Panthers. That number's gone now,

0:31:20.800 --> 0:31:23.240
<v Speaker 4>which makes me feel a little bit vindicated. You guys

0:31:23.280 --> 0:31:25.480
<v Speaker 4>stole both of my picks, so I think I might

0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 4>go depending on starters for the Colts, I might lean Colts.

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:31.000
<v Speaker 3>I gotta be honest with you, guys.

0:31:31.040 --> 0:31:35.440
<v Speaker 4>I know that that's yucky, but it is a divisional

0:31:35.480 --> 0:31:38.520
<v Speaker 4>game and it just feels large.

0:31:38.720 --> 0:31:39.720
<v Speaker 3>I think it's ten and a half.

0:31:39.760 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Now, you can take whatever game you want. Mind you're pi.

0:31:42.680 --> 0:31:43.800
<v Speaker 2>My cat's trying to break in.

0:31:44.000 --> 0:31:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Right about Don Cappy? About Don Cappy And so now

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:59.200
<v Speaker 1>you've heard the tale I tell that's Ai l I'm

0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:01.200
<v Speaker 1>talking about the tail of that.

0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Dog cat show us the cat.

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:05.880
<v Speaker 4>I think I think I'm gonna go with the Colts,

0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:08.640
<v Speaker 4>depending on who's gonna play and who's not. But that's

0:32:08.640 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 4>probably gonna be where I'm getting just because it's in

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:11.680
<v Speaker 4>division and it might be.

0:32:11.640 --> 0:32:13.960
<v Speaker 3>A little bit of an emotional bet. But here we are.

0:32:14.320 --> 0:32:17.479
<v Speaker 1>Well okay, but we might also get Riley Leonard. Does

0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:20.520
<v Speaker 1>that make that's why less? Does that make you like

0:32:20.600 --> 0:32:22.720
<v Speaker 1>this any less that it might be they might go

0:32:22.880 --> 0:32:23.600
<v Speaker 1>Riley Leonard.

0:32:23.600 --> 0:32:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Here it is going to be. I think it is

0:32:25.080 --> 0:32:25.960
<v Speaker 3>going to be Riley Leonard.

0:32:26.000 --> 0:32:28.520
<v Speaker 4>But no, it's still a divisional game, and the Colts

0:32:28.600 --> 0:32:30.560
<v Speaker 4>did play the drugs pretty tough for a.

0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:35.959
<v Speaker 3>Hot yay is the cat that's such a cute cat stuck.

0:32:36.360 --> 0:32:40.840
<v Speaker 2>He's got a little heart heart white spot right there.

0:32:41.080 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 2>He's basically parlay.

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Who's that?

0:32:43.960 --> 0:32:44.520
<v Speaker 2>This is Hank.

0:32:45.640 --> 0:32:47.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna cry.

0:32:47.280 --> 0:32:49.320
<v Speaker 2>But he's like a dog like he our nieces and

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:52.680
<v Speaker 2>nephews just like carrying around. They just like they'll like

0:32:53.280 --> 0:32:55.720
<v Speaker 2>grab him like this and just walk around them. He

0:32:55.760 --> 0:32:57.520
<v Speaker 2>just lets anyone do whatever they want.

0:32:58.200 --> 0:32:59.880
<v Speaker 1>That's awesome. My cats love it.

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:05.880
<v Speaker 4>Anyways, This might be half emotional, half brain, but I

0:33:05.880 --> 0:33:07.280
<v Speaker 4>think the Colts are going to try and show up

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:08.720
<v Speaker 4>and play. Whether it's I do think it's gonna be

0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:10.479
<v Speaker 4>Riley Leonard, but I still think they're gonna show up

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:10.760
<v Speaker 4>to play.

0:33:11.400 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I think Hank would be on the sad Cats. The

0:33:15.520 --> 0:33:17.479
<v Speaker 1>Panthers plus the points.

0:33:17.280 --> 0:33:18.360
<v Speaker 3>Then do what you coward.

0:33:20.120 --> 0:33:23.680
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm not I'm not gonna do that. I planted

0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I as I lost a point, we crossed three. I

0:33:28.960 --> 0:33:32.200
<v Speaker 1>already bet this and plus three. So this opened at

0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:34.560
<v Speaker 1>three and a half. I got it at three. Couple

0:33:34.600 --> 0:33:36.760
<v Speaker 1>of hours later that thing got gobbled up like a

0:33:36.880 --> 0:33:39.440
<v Speaker 1>like a Thanksgiving turkey. And then now we're down to

0:33:39.480 --> 0:33:42.520
<v Speaker 1>two and a half. I I can't advise the Panthers anymore.

0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:44.600
<v Speaker 1>If anything, I would tease them with somebody else that

0:33:44.640 --> 0:33:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you like. Maybe I love a good teaser. How about

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Panthers up to eight and a half and the San

0:33:52.160 --> 0:33:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Francisco forty nine ers up to seven and a half.

0:33:54.720 --> 0:33:57.520
<v Speaker 1>There you go, have yourself a fun day on Saturday.

0:33:57.560 --> 0:33:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I will plant my flag though, on San Francisco plus

0:33:59.840 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 1>one one and a half against Seattle. Not only for

0:34:02.160 --> 0:34:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the division. This one's for the one seed, and I

0:34:04.440 --> 0:34:06.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like the forty nine ers, for the first time

0:34:06.640 --> 0:34:09.640
<v Speaker 1>in their existence, are the team that nobody's talking about.

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Brock Party is as hot as any in the NFL,

0:34:13.400 --> 0:34:15.960
<v Speaker 1>thirteen touchdowns in his last three games. We do have

0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:18.960
<v Speaker 1>to monitor the Trent Williams injury. He injured his hamstring

0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:22.120
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday Night Football. I think George Kittle is going

0:34:22.200 --> 0:34:24.319
<v Speaker 1>to play and be back in this one. Mind you,

0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:27.360
<v Speaker 1>they ran up the score or they've got into the

0:34:27.360 --> 0:34:31.480
<v Speaker 1>forties against the Bears without their best receiver in George Kittle.

0:34:32.480 --> 0:34:35.040
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco is initially listed as a favorite in this one.

0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Money came in on Seattle. We've seen some resistance at

0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:40.040
<v Speaker 1>plus one and a half, so I think the number

0:34:40.120 --> 0:34:42.880
<v Speaker 1>is likely going to settle where it's at. Happy to

0:34:42.920 --> 0:34:45.000
<v Speaker 1>be on the home dog here give me the forty

0:34:45.080 --> 0:34:48.640
<v Speaker 1>nine ers plus one and a half and a headshake

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:49.240
<v Speaker 1>from Tendra.

0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Seattle kind of got screwed like they they were on

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:55.319
<v Speaker 2>the East Coast and because of the NFL, like the

0:34:55.400 --> 0:34:59.000
<v Speaker 2>NFL did just so they're just TV and just greed.

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Like all these games that are correlated we be at

0:35:01.719 --> 0:35:03.319
<v Speaker 2>the same time on Sundays. You should just have like

0:35:03.320 --> 0:35:07.000
<v Speaker 2>a one o'clock correlated games, four o'clock core later games

0:35:07.040 --> 0:35:09.640
<v Speaker 2>mixing your games that are mean nothing. But they gotta

0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:11.120
<v Speaker 2>have Saturday games. So Seattle has to come across the

0:35:11.120 --> 0:35:12.960
<v Speaker 2>country on the secondary road game in a short week

0:35:13.000 --> 0:35:17.520
<v Speaker 2>for the division in the one seed. But I think

0:35:17.600 --> 0:35:20.799
<v Speaker 2>Kittle on Williams are a huge year. Yeah, they can

0:35:20.800 --> 0:35:22.680
<v Speaker 2>get away with it against the Bears defense. The Bears

0:35:22.680 --> 0:35:25.799
<v Speaker 2>defense is atrocious, but against the Seattle defense, but yeah,

0:35:25.800 --> 0:35:29.480
<v Speaker 2>the Seattle offense is trending way down. I mean, even

0:35:29.520 --> 0:35:31.920
<v Speaker 2>against the Panthers defense, I can't get pressure.

0:35:32.840 --> 0:35:34.919
<v Speaker 3>Donald Donald has incentives this weekend too.

0:35:35.440 --> 0:35:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Donald looked really bad. But since kender wouldn't, I don't

0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:43.120
<v Speaker 2>even know what Kendrick's planned their flag on. Maybe the Colts, so.

0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:46.000
<v Speaker 3>Riley Leonard or not? I hate this week? You got it.

0:35:46.120 --> 0:35:49.920
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna be Riley Leonard, Riley Leonard starting.

0:35:50.920 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 3>Why isn't Philip Rivers going to play one more game?

0:35:53.480 --> 0:35:54.759
<v Speaker 2>I guess they just want to see you might as

0:35:54.800 --> 0:35:57.160
<v Speaker 2>well see what you got since the game means nothing to.

0:35:57.640 --> 0:35:59.960
<v Speaker 1>It's a it's a learn learn about your guys, learn

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:04.520
<v Speaker 1>about your personnel kind of game. For the Colts, well, season.

0:36:04.280 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Was pretty much over. You couldn't let them. You could

0:36:06.560 --> 0:36:08.000
<v Speaker 3>have let that happen a month ago.

0:36:09.320 --> 0:36:11.600
<v Speaker 2>The last week they said that because there was a

0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:13.280
<v Speaker 2>chance that the Colts still could have made the playoffs

0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:15.080
<v Speaker 2>before some of the other results. And they said that

0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:17.279
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna start Rivers because he's gonna practice with the

0:36:17.280 --> 0:36:19.920
<v Speaker 2>ones all week. But Leonard's gonna practice the ones and start.

0:36:20.480 --> 0:36:21.840
<v Speaker 2>I think that's less fun. I would rather it s

0:36:21.880 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 2>all Rivers, But I get it. I'll play my Flags

0:36:25.000 --> 0:36:29.160
<v Speaker 2>on two games. We talked about the Panthers Bucks on

0:36:29.600 --> 0:36:32.279
<v Speaker 2>Sunday and Brandon would saying, I think you should take

0:36:32.280 --> 0:36:33.360
<v Speaker 2>the three and a half. I said, yeah, I mean

0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:35.799
<v Speaker 2>three is probably right at two and a half, I'm

0:36:35.800 --> 0:36:40.319
<v Speaker 2>taking Tampa. I've been head of the Tampa stinks. I've

0:36:40.360 --> 0:36:43.400
<v Speaker 2>been driving that bus all year. Just because Baker had

0:36:43.400 --> 0:36:45.920
<v Speaker 2>a couple of miracle last minute wins early in the season,

0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:48.759
<v Speaker 2>people thought this team was good. They're not. But the

0:36:48.800 --> 0:36:51.719
<v Speaker 2>Panthers aren't good either. This line now two and a half.

0:36:51.960 --> 0:36:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Two weeks ago, they were three point favorites in Carolina.

0:36:55.680 --> 0:36:57.319
<v Speaker 2>Two weeks ago, we're at the end of the year

0:36:57.640 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 2>and it's not like and the game was a coin flip.

0:36:59.560 --> 0:37:02.600
<v Speaker 2>The Bucks had a coverage bus where Dean went played

0:37:02.600 --> 0:37:03.960
<v Speaker 2>the wrong coverage at the end of the first half, which

0:37:04.000 --> 0:37:05.719
<v Speaker 2>led to a touchdown. The game is a complete coin

0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:10.640
<v Speaker 2>flip game. Now two weeks later, the Bucks are under

0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:13.239
<v Speaker 2>a Fueld goal at home. I have to take that

0:37:13.280 --> 0:37:16.440
<v Speaker 2>at two and a half. I wouldn't I have.

0:37:16.480 --> 0:37:20.239
<v Speaker 3>To sign what's that said? I think Hank was our sign.

0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:23.040
<v Speaker 2>Maybe, but I know I have to take the Bucks.

0:37:23.040 --> 0:37:24.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm worst. I think might be back. There

0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:27.200
<v Speaker 2>are some other offensive line injuries. There's some defensive injuries

0:37:27.239 --> 0:37:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Dean and Reddit worth monitoring. But like the Panthers, don't

0:37:30.600 --> 0:37:32.840
<v Speaker 2>get pressure. Bryce Young on the road it's atrocious. I

0:37:32.880 --> 0:37:34.960
<v Speaker 2>mean last week he threw it for fifty hours on

0:37:35.000 --> 0:37:37.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty four attempts. I have to take the I have

0:37:37.960 --> 0:37:39.319
<v Speaker 2>to take the Bucks minus two and a half here.

0:37:39.520 --> 0:37:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Plus it's the NFC South. You know it's going to

0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:47.319
<v Speaker 2>come down to Saints Falcons on Sunday. NFL scriptwriters will

0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:50.080
<v Speaker 2>ensure that happens. But my my favorite bet is the

0:37:50.080 --> 0:37:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Bengals against the Browns. I think the Bengals blow the

0:37:55.640 --> 0:37:58.600
<v Speaker 2>doors off the Browns. Browns are simple team people. They're

0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:01.400
<v Speaker 2>the least profitable road team over the past three years,

0:38:01.520 --> 0:38:04.279
<v Speaker 2>the most profitable home team. Their defense doesn't play the

0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:07.279
<v Speaker 2>same on their road. It's like Garrett once he gets

0:38:07.280 --> 0:38:10.320
<v Speaker 2>his sack. Okay, good night. But that this Bengals offense

0:38:10.400 --> 0:38:14.040
<v Speaker 2>is rolling. Their offensive line is playing better. Mims, Fairchild,

0:38:14.040 --> 0:38:16.760
<v Speaker 2>are playing better. You got all your healthy pieces. Burrow's

0:38:16.800 --> 0:38:20.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna play. The offense is rolling right now, so they're

0:38:20.760 --> 0:38:21.959
<v Speaker 2>gonna put up their points at home.

0:38:22.200 --> 0:38:24.920
<v Speaker 3>Free my boy, Free Joe Burrow from.

0:38:24.719 --> 0:38:28.320
<v Speaker 2>All can the Browns match? No, I don't think Fannon's

0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:32.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna play. Fannin's their whole offense. Luckily he played enough.

0:38:32.320 --> 0:38:33.879
<v Speaker 2>He played a quarter last week and caught a fifty

0:38:33.880 --> 0:38:37.480
<v Speaker 2>our touchdown pass. Because after that the Browns did nothing. Nadjok,

0:38:37.480 --> 0:38:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Who's hurt? Fannin's hurt? How are they going to keep

0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:44.160
<v Speaker 2>up here? Additionally, I think the Bengals are a little

0:38:44.200 --> 0:38:48.439
<v Speaker 2>undervalued right now because their defense is playing much much

0:38:48.440 --> 0:38:52.040
<v Speaker 2>better the past six weeks. Number one in EPA per play.

0:38:52.600 --> 0:38:54.319
<v Speaker 2>You might say, ah, who have they played ball? Blah?

0:38:54.400 --> 0:38:58.880
<v Speaker 2>They played the Ravens twice, the Pats, the Bills, the

0:38:58.960 --> 0:39:02.759
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins and someone else. Is probably bad. But that's not

0:39:02.840 --> 0:39:05.560
<v Speaker 2>like a stretch of just the worst offenses in the NFL.

0:39:06.000 --> 0:39:07.919
<v Speaker 2>So you might ask why why is it? Well, there's

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:10.319
<v Speaker 2>a number of reasons. Over the first ten weeks they

0:39:10.320 --> 0:39:12.880
<v Speaker 2>were historically bad. I'm not saying they're a good defense

0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:15.880
<v Speaker 2>right now, but they're just like maybe the twenty fifth

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:18.319
<v Speaker 2>best defense, which is all you need with the like.

0:39:18.360 --> 0:39:20.400
<v Speaker 2>They just can't be historically bad when you have this

0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Bengals offense and you're going up against a horrendous Browns D.

0:39:24.120 --> 0:39:26.440
<v Speaker 2>But why is the Bengals d trending up? Why? I

0:39:26.440 --> 0:39:29.400
<v Speaker 2>think it's real, Well, they have two rookie linebackers who

0:39:29.440 --> 0:39:30.920
<v Speaker 2>were the worst in the NFL over the first ten

0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:35.439
<v Speaker 2>weeks in Carter Knight. They're playing legitimately better, so not great,

0:39:35.520 --> 0:39:38.759
<v Speaker 2>but they were unplayable over the first ten weeks. Now

0:39:38.760 --> 0:39:42.120
<v Speaker 2>they're playing better. They also moved Dax Hill out to

0:39:42.160 --> 0:39:44.799
<v Speaker 2>the outside. DJ Turner on the other side, has been

0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:47.480
<v Speaker 2>one of the best corners in the NFL. Hill's played

0:39:48.080 --> 0:39:51.600
<v Speaker 2>amazingly locked down since he's moved to the outside. Because

0:39:51.640 --> 0:39:55.560
<v Speaker 2>they had Jeeff what is his name, their new slot

0:39:55.600 --> 0:39:57.680
<v Speaker 2>corner who's been on the who's on the practice squad,

0:39:57.680 --> 0:40:00.839
<v Speaker 2>He's been with the organization for like five years. He's

0:40:00.880 --> 0:40:04.200
<v Speaker 2>come in, played the nickel and played it pretty well.

0:40:04.680 --> 0:40:07.920
<v Speaker 2>It's enabled Hill went out after the first ten weeks,

0:40:07.960 --> 0:40:12.400
<v Speaker 2>went outside Jalen Davis. So now their corners are playing

0:40:12.440 --> 0:40:15.680
<v Speaker 2>really well. Rookie linebackers are playing better. They change some

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:19.719
<v Speaker 2>of their fronts. Slayton's playing better with these new formations

0:40:19.719 --> 0:40:22.760
<v Speaker 2>against the run. They're getting something from Miles Murphy finally,

0:40:23.080 --> 0:40:24.640
<v Speaker 2>and then you just have Al Golden, who came in

0:40:24.640 --> 0:40:26.880
<v Speaker 2>as a new coordinator with a bunch of new pieces

0:40:26.880 --> 0:40:29.400
<v Speaker 2>and started to figure some things out schematically. So like,

0:40:29.440 --> 0:40:33.080
<v Speaker 2>I do think that the Bengals defense is legitimately improved,

0:40:33.080 --> 0:40:37.000
<v Speaker 2>which they've shown over the past six weeks, and you're

0:40:37.040 --> 0:40:39.120
<v Speaker 2>playing one of the worst offenses in the NFL, A

0:40:39.160 --> 0:40:41.319
<v Speaker 2>defense that doesn't play the same on the road. Could

0:40:41.360 --> 0:40:43.160
<v Speaker 2>see this being a little bit of an emotional letdown

0:40:43.160 --> 0:40:44.759
<v Speaker 2>for the Grounds, right, they had that huge win over

0:40:44.800 --> 0:40:47.480
<v Speaker 2>the Steelers. I don't think they can keep up here.

0:40:48.160 --> 0:40:50.959
<v Speaker 2>I think the Bengals role So gimme Sincy in the jungle.

0:40:51.239 --> 0:40:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Tend to agree with that one. So yeah, two from Stuckey.

0:40:55.000 --> 0:40:57.759
<v Speaker 1>He's on the Bucks minus two and a half and

0:40:57.920 --> 0:41:02.160
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals minus seven against the Cleveland Browns, and we

0:41:02.239 --> 0:41:06.480
<v Speaker 1>got Kendra with a shoulder shrug emoji on the Colts

0:41:06.520 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 1>plus ten and a half.

0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:11.000
<v Speaker 3>I second the Bengals. That was gonna be my pick.

0:41:11.320 --> 0:41:12.239
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, so.

0:41:12.400 --> 0:41:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Well let you pick now. Are you playing your flag

0:41:14.840 --> 0:41:16.480
<v Speaker 2>on the Bengals? All playing on the Bucks minus two

0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:16.879
<v Speaker 2>and a half?

0:41:17.040 --> 0:41:19.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh there you go, Okay, I was I was Bengals Panthers.

0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:22.480
<v Speaker 3>I was gonna go with the Cats. So Hank is

0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:23.600
<v Speaker 3>my sign Meal.

0:41:24.440 --> 0:41:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so then we're gonna switch this. I'm throwing this,

0:41:27.719 --> 0:41:29.600
<v Speaker 1>just see what it looks like. Throw it in a parlay.

0:41:29.800 --> 0:41:31.759
<v Speaker 1>We get the Bengals minus seven and a half forty

0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:34.000
<v Speaker 1>nine Ers plus one and a half, and the Bucks

0:41:34.080 --> 0:41:37.759
<v Speaker 1>minus two and a half at plus five seventy nine

0:41:38.280 --> 0:41:40.799
<v Speaker 1>over on Draft Kings. That's not the official two Kings

0:41:40.800 --> 0:41:42.560
<v Speaker 1>and a Queen parlay, but just in case you were

0:41:42.560 --> 0:41:44.880
<v Speaker 1>curious over on Draft Kings, though.

0:41:44.800 --> 0:41:47.239
<v Speaker 2>The chaptains is gonna matter. The NFL will make sure.

0:41:47.440 --> 0:41:49.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought the people think all these games were fixed,

0:41:49.080 --> 0:41:51.319
<v Speaker 2>they're not. But the people that do think the games

0:41:51.320 --> 0:41:54.240
<v Speaker 2>are fixed, then, like the confused theorists and like the scriptwriters,

0:41:54.520 --> 0:41:58.400
<v Speaker 2>the NFL made out last week because everything that needed

0:41:58.400 --> 0:42:01.279
<v Speaker 2>to happen for drama did. Like the Ravens beat the.

0:42:01.239 --> 0:42:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Packers, except now no DK in that game.

0:42:04.640 --> 0:42:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no DK is huge. But the Browns beat.

0:42:08.120 --> 0:42:10.040
<v Speaker 1>The Steelers off the script.

0:42:11.480 --> 0:42:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah he went off script brown. So Browns beat the Steelers.

0:42:15.480 --> 0:42:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Ravens beat the Packers, keeps the AFC North Race down.

0:42:18.120 --> 0:42:20.600
<v Speaker 2>At the Sunday night football game. You even had the

0:42:21.080 --> 0:42:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Falcons beat the Rams, where now that could that game

0:42:25.000 --> 0:42:29.240
<v Speaker 2>could matter? You had the Bucks and the Panthers both lose,

0:42:29.320 --> 0:42:32.920
<v Speaker 2>so now that game matters. What else, Oh, you have

0:42:33.000 --> 0:42:37.319
<v Speaker 2>the Seahawks win, the forty nine Ers win, so that

0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:39.360
<v Speaker 2>game is for the division and for the one seed.

0:42:39.800 --> 0:42:43.600
<v Speaker 2>So like everything that possibly that they needed to happen

0:42:43.640 --> 0:42:47.400
<v Speaker 2>because there was a path where Week eighteen was whoa, like,

0:42:47.800 --> 0:42:50.440
<v Speaker 2>this is going to be bad and bleak, but they

0:42:50.480 --> 0:42:53.040
<v Speaker 2>had everything go right that could have. Now there's still

0:42:53.080 --> 0:42:54.560
<v Speaker 2>some bag games. There are still gonna be twelve backup

0:42:54.600 --> 0:42:57.160
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks that we have to watch. The Sunday afternoon slate

0:42:57.280 --> 0:42:59.600
<v Speaker 2>is going to be pretty sad, and there's some games

0:42:59.600 --> 0:43:01.680
<v Speaker 2>that you just bet right now. I mean you can

0:43:01.719 --> 0:43:03.560
<v Speaker 2>if you have info or have a strong but like

0:43:04.200 --> 0:43:07.359
<v Speaker 2>the rams, like based on Seattle for the forty nine

0:43:07.400 --> 0:43:09.080
<v Speaker 2>hours rears old, it's probably what's going to determine if

0:43:09.120 --> 0:43:12.200
<v Speaker 2>they rest their starters. The Eagles, how are they gonna

0:43:12.200 --> 0:43:14.439
<v Speaker 2>wrest their start? There's a lot of like unknowns. Now

0:43:14.760 --> 0:43:19.080
<v Speaker 2>there's gonna be some line moves, so we'll we'll recap

0:43:19.120 --> 0:43:23.239
<v Speaker 2>everything and update everyone where things stand on Friday this week.

0:43:23.280 --> 0:43:25.400
<v Speaker 2>That's we have New Year's Eve Wednesday and Newyear's Date Thursday,

0:43:25.440 --> 0:43:28.160
<v Speaker 2>so or second episode this week will be on Friday.

0:43:27.880 --> 0:43:32.719
<v Speaker 1>Right correct. Let's wrap with our Tuesday primer courtesy of

0:43:32.800 --> 0:43:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Evan Abrams. It is live now over at Action network

0:43:36.120 --> 0:43:39.640
<v Speaker 1>dot com. Evan, welcome to the show. Do you think

0:43:39.680 --> 0:43:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the cat was a sign that we should be on

0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:43.080
<v Speaker 1>the Panthers this week?

0:43:44.160 --> 0:43:46.359
<v Speaker 5>I like the Bucks, so I'm gonna say no. But

0:43:46.520 --> 0:43:49.160
<v Speaker 5>normally I would say sad cats. It had to be

0:43:49.200 --> 0:43:51.160
<v Speaker 5>a sign, but not with this situation.

0:43:51.239 --> 0:43:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Down to you, No, Hank is a happy cat. It

0:43:53.120 --> 0:43:54.000
<v Speaker 2>was a Bengals sign.

0:43:54.520 --> 0:43:56.879
<v Speaker 5>It give me a Jaguar sign too. Let's just be good.

0:43:56.920 --> 0:43:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Roll spray paint the cat like a Bengal.

0:43:59.120 --> 0:44:00.000
<v Speaker 4>Come on, can we have.

0:44:00.200 --> 0:44:01.360
<v Speaker 3>Cat parley this week?

0:44:01.760 --> 0:44:03.160
<v Speaker 2>MIGHT want to keep you guys like the box.

0:44:03.239 --> 0:44:05.680
<v Speaker 3>I might do this on my own. I might be

0:44:05.800 --> 0:44:07.160
<v Speaker 3>on the Lions, dude, I did.

0:44:07.800 --> 0:44:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I'd like the Lions. I haven't completely dug into that one.

0:44:11.200 --> 0:44:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I did bet the Jags already, so we could definitely.

0:44:14.080 --> 0:44:15.719
<v Speaker 3>I saw that pop in from you this morning on

0:44:15.760 --> 0:44:16.200
<v Speaker 3>the app.

0:44:16.600 --> 0:44:18.680
<v Speaker 1>We could definitely do that. Yeah, there was an eleven

0:44:18.680 --> 0:44:20.680
<v Speaker 1>and a half hanging out there. I don't think this

0:44:20.760 --> 0:44:23.600
<v Speaker 1>line's gonna tilt closer to thirteen, so that was more

0:44:23.600 --> 0:44:26.920
<v Speaker 1>of a number play all right, Evan, what are we

0:44:27.000 --> 0:44:30.440
<v Speaker 1>looking at anything that we need to know before we

0:44:30.520 --> 0:44:33.240
<v Speaker 1>hit Is this the toughest week to put the primer together,

0:44:33.280 --> 0:44:35.400
<v Speaker 1>by the way I would think it is, Well.

0:44:35.280 --> 0:44:38.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean you're also adding incentives, milestones, records into

0:44:38.880 --> 0:44:41.759
<v Speaker 5>the article, plus playoff scenarios. I was up till like

0:44:41.800 --> 0:44:43.320
<v Speaker 5>two thirty or three because I wanted to get it

0:44:43.360 --> 0:44:45.600
<v Speaker 5>out the door. It is out the door. We are done,

0:44:45.920 --> 0:44:48.720
<v Speaker 5>we move on to the playoffs. Just some fun stuff here.

0:44:48.840 --> 0:44:51.200
<v Speaker 5>So week seventeen and eighteen, dogs of over a full

0:44:51.239 --> 0:44:54.560
<v Speaker 5>touchdown seven and a half or more are actually plus

0:44:54.680 --> 0:44:57.800
<v Speaker 5>nine point seven percent return on investment. They are sixteen

0:44:57.840 --> 0:45:00.000
<v Speaker 5>and fifty three. But it doesn't matter when you're geting

0:45:00.120 --> 0:45:03.000
<v Speaker 5>that big of a dog. So at the moment, it's

0:45:03.040 --> 0:45:09.879
<v Speaker 5>and obviously those are closing lines. It'd be Arizona Chargers, Colts, Browns, Titans, Dolphins,

0:45:09.960 --> 0:45:12.799
<v Speaker 5>really the ugliest of ugly, but you probably just need

0:45:12.840 --> 0:45:15.480
<v Speaker 5>two or three to come into profit. So that has

0:45:15.560 --> 0:45:18.600
<v Speaker 5>looked decent last decade or so in the last two

0:45:18.640 --> 0:45:21.960
<v Speaker 5>weeks of the regular season, and honestly, this is just

0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:26.680
<v Speaker 5>a fun one. So obviously Chargers rest sitting, everybody completely resting,

0:45:26.960 --> 0:45:29.960
<v Speaker 5>But Jim Harbaugh with the Chargers ten to zero to

0:45:30.040 --> 0:45:32.759
<v Speaker 5>one against the spread versus the AFC West, so he

0:45:32.800 --> 0:45:35.440
<v Speaker 5>has absolutely covered all the numbers and this week he

0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:40.000
<v Speaker 5>gets a massive number. Here's a great one. The Jacksonville defense,

0:45:40.120 --> 0:45:43.799
<v Speaker 5>especially rush defense, have not allowed a player to rush

0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:46.640
<v Speaker 5>for seventy five yards seventy five yards in a single

0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:50.640
<v Speaker 5>game this year, so they've had eight running backs at

0:45:50.640 --> 0:45:52.640
<v Speaker 5>sixty plus. They are eight and o to the under

0:45:52.960 --> 0:45:55.080
<v Speaker 5>so we will see how that moves towards the playoffs.

0:45:55.120 --> 0:45:58.560
<v Speaker 5>But that's intriguing, and of course I gotta say it

0:45:58.680 --> 0:46:02.040
<v Speaker 5>Raven Steelers, we always talk about it every time he

0:46:02.120 --> 0:46:05.399
<v Speaker 5>seems play but the underdog just ridiculous records. Twenty five

0:46:05.440 --> 0:46:08.400
<v Speaker 5>and seven when Tomlin faces Harbaugh and in the regular

0:46:08.440 --> 0:46:10.920
<v Speaker 5>season with a line of three or more, twenty four

0:46:11.000 --> 0:46:14.359
<v Speaker 5>and five against the spread, just stupid, stupid numbers. And

0:46:14.880 --> 0:46:17.359
<v Speaker 5>we will see without DK Metcalf if the Steelers can

0:46:17.400 --> 0:46:18.000
<v Speaker 5>keep that rolling.

0:46:18.800 --> 0:46:21.959
<v Speaker 1>And Lamar Jackson has not been ruled in just yet,

0:46:22.080 --> 0:46:24.319
<v Speaker 1>so keep an eye on that one. That's another one

0:46:24.360 --> 0:46:27.320
<v Speaker 1>that I don't feel comfortable betting that just yet until

0:46:27.320 --> 0:46:30.120
<v Speaker 1>we know what that quarterback situation is going to look

0:46:30.200 --> 0:46:34.839
<v Speaker 1>like because We're definitely gonna see some movement there. As

0:46:34.880 --> 0:46:38.920
<v Speaker 1>far as I had asked about totals, is there anything

0:46:39.120 --> 0:46:43.200
<v Speaker 1>on these teams that are punting to the postseason or

0:46:43.200 --> 0:46:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the offseason that are not really interested in Week eighteen?

0:46:47.600 --> 0:46:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Is there anything to be gained here in terms of unders,

0:46:51.760 --> 0:46:53.879
<v Speaker 1>wacky overs, anything of the sort.

0:46:55.200 --> 0:46:57.560
<v Speaker 5>I don't really have anything in terms of like the

0:46:57.640 --> 0:46:59.839
<v Speaker 5>totals themselves this late in the season, but I could

0:46:59.840 --> 0:47:01.560
<v Speaker 5>take to look down. If there's anything good, I'll at

0:47:01.600 --> 0:47:02.160
<v Speaker 5>it to the Primer.

0:47:02.480 --> 0:47:04.840
