1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What's up, everybody, 2 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 1: It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire, Tuesday, October six. Thank 3 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: you for joining me this morning and uh spending some 4 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: time listening to the podcast. We got some fun, fun 5 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: NFL stuff today. Best bet at the end of the 6 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: podcast two actionable wagers for the NBA Finals tonight. But 7 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: I have to start with Monday Night football and what 8 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: I think is going to be the big story in 9 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: the NFL this week once everybody gets a load of this. 10 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs put a hurt and on the Patriots. 11 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: But it was one of those uninspiring performances where it's like, oh, man, 12 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: are the Chiefs that good or do they just not 13 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: give a shit? Because folks, they slept walked through that 14 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: entire first half and well into the third quarter. You know, 15 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: you can see that they couldn't get up for the game. Okay, 16 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: it was a six o'clock Kansas City start. You know, 17 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: people are just getting off work. It's like Monday. You know, 18 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: you don't really want to be at a half full stadium. 19 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, not even half full. It was what are 20 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: their smattering of fans maybe ten tho fans there and 21 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: there was just no juice, you know, you could tell 22 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: through the broadcast like they weren't even piping noise into 23 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: the stadium. It had no energy. And they moved down 24 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: the field get a field goal. Patriots do nothing with Hoyer, 25 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: and then from then on it was just like the 26 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: Chiefs were toying around. I mean, Patrick Mahomes had two 27 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 1: interceptions straight up dropped. They get the gift pick six 28 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: after Edelman had the ball go through his hands, and 29 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: you could just see like the Chiefs sat their defensive 30 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: star Chris Jones because he was like not a and 31 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: then they realized, oh it's Brian Hoyer, will just rest 32 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: Jones will need him later in the season. And it's 33 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: just like, come on, they're they're just not that into it. 34 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: But folks, I think the big takeaway from Kansas City 35 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: going for no I just looked at the schedule, thinking, oh, 36 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: how good can this team be if they can raise 37 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: up Last week when they faced the Ravens, okay, and 38 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: they showed up and they really whipped the Ravens. That 39 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: was a no contest at all. And we've seen him 40 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: kind of struggle through the Chargers game against a rookie 41 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: quarterback in his first start. Now they got Brian Hoyer 42 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: letting him hang around, and then Jared Stidham uh in 43 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: the second half. And you start wondering about the Chiefs, 44 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: and I'm like, Okay, my big takeaway is they're gonna 45 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: play down to the level of the opponents. But I 46 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: believe looking at the schedule, the Kansas City Chiefs at 47 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: four and oh, have a very good chance of going 48 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: sixteen and oh and folks, wait until you hear what 49 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,959 Speaker 1: the rest of the schedule is for the defending Super 50 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. Okay, I don't know that 51 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna be ready for this. They have three games 52 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: left against quarterbacks that I would perceive as good. That's it. 53 00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: Twelve games left in the season, and the Kansas City 54 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: Chiefs face three teams that currently have winning records. That 55 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: is not a misprint. At the Buffalo Bills Thursday, October 56 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: fift that's gonna be a big one. It is in Buffalo. 57 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: It's a short week for Casey. That will be a 58 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: big game. At Tampa October, Tom Brady is forty three 59 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: years old. I'll just leave it at that. At New Orleans, Sunday, December. 60 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: Drew Brees already looking every bit of forty one. What's 61 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: he gonna look almost three months from now? That's the 62 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: rest of the chief schedule. It is an absolute joke. 63 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: The defending Super Bowl champions folks have it all set 64 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: up to go sixteen and no that other nine games. 65 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: I mean, this is almost bordering on comical. Two against 66 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Okay, we've seen the Raiders. They're already double 67 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: digit underdogs against the Chiefs this week. They have two 68 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: against the Broncos, who starting quarterback at this moment is 69 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: a guy named Brett Rippon. He threw a pick six 70 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: against the Jets. He threw three picks against the Jets. 71 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: They play Kansas City, does the New York Jets. They 72 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: played Carolina. Carolina could be a sneaky game later in 73 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: the season. We'll see. I can't put it down as 74 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: a risky game. The Kansas City will be considerable favorites. 75 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: They also played Miami, who could be starting a rookie 76 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: in two a tongue aloa. They play the Chargers in 77 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert again, and they play Atlanta, So two games 78 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: the Jets in Atlanta could be against interim coaches. If 79 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: there's any indication from Monday Night's disaster for the Falcons, 80 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: dan Quinn is not long for that job. We know 81 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: Adam Gaye should have been fired and could be fired 82 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: very soon. This has been a crazy season already. Folks 83 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: were at the one quarter mark between no fans in 84 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: many of the stadiums, the COVID situation. I know there's 85 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: a lot of NFL media out there who think the 86 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: season won't even be finished, like that's how sketchy COVID is. 87 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: We've seen the Chiefs played down to the level of 88 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: their opponent. We've seen them rise up to face the 89 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: Ravens and beat them badly. I think sixteen and no 90 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: is definitely definitely in play for the Kansas City Chiefs. 91 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: If I if I was a betting man, I would 92 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: take some of the winnings from best Bet three hundred 93 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: dollars and put it on the Kansas City Chiefs to 94 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: go on beating. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna 95 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: look online today, shop around and see if I can 96 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: find that, and if I do, I will certainly post 97 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: it on my Instagram stories. All right. The other thing 98 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: that I have, my big other takeaway from the Chiefs. 99 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: When you look at the rest of the season for them, 100 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: they're gonna have the best quarterback in every game they play. 101 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: That's obvious. Pat Malomes is the best quarterback in the league. 102 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: He started thirty five regular season games, Patrick Mahomes and 103 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: seven and he's never lost a game by more than 104 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: a touchdown. He's always in the game because he's packed 105 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: freaking Mahomes. The guy has an unbelievable offense. The arsenal 106 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: they have. They can run the ball as they did 107 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: in the opener with Edwards Hilaire the rookie. They got 108 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 1: the tight end Travis Kelsey, one of the best in 109 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: the league. They've got Tyreek Hill, Mikole Hardman, Sammy Watkins. 110 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: There isn't a faster group of receivers in the NFL. 111 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 1: And and folks, we don't give Andy Reid enough credit. 112 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: This guy called he's probably right now. We know he's 113 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: one of the best coaches. But when it comes from 114 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: a play designing standpoint, they're running some awesome stuff in 115 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,119 Speaker 1: the red zone. You saw against the Ravens on Monday 116 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: and a football they had a lineup where they had 117 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: three receivers stacked one behind each other. It was just 118 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: an awesome formation, and it's throwing teams off. My only 119 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: concern with the Chiefs going sixteen and now is that 120 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: we saw Tom Brady and Randy Moss back in two 121 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 1: thousand seven have an unbelievable season. They clearly wanted to 122 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: go sixt to know and they beat people down. I'm 123 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: talking bad beat downs. I was looking at their season 124 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: two thousand seven. They were in forty or fifty on 125 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: people on the rag. I mean every week thirty eight 126 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: sift two. That team was utterly dominant. Okay, they had 127 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: a couple of close games. I believe it was four 128 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: games in the regular season designed by single digits. The 129 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs will have more than that because they tend to 130 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: play down to their opponent. That Patriots team with Brady 131 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: and his prime and Randy Moss, they didn't play down 132 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: to anyone. A couple of people played up to them, 133 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: but that offense was a jugger. Not of course, they 134 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: ended up losing the Super Bowl, but I kind of 135 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 1: wonder did the Chiefs and basically everyone else in sports 136 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: see what the Golden State Warriors put into that seventy 137 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: three win team to take down Michael Jordan's seventy to 138 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: win regular season mark. They saw what energy the Warriors 139 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: had to put into that, and then they couldn't win 140 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: the title, and a lot of people were saying they 141 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: were tired at the end of that series. I don't 142 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: know how legitimate that is, but I think that was 143 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: more a mental fatigue than anything. And now in subsequent 144 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: seasons we've seen Kawhi Leonard load manage. I mean, the 145 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: NBA regular season is largely irrelevant now. It's fun to 146 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: talk about all the Milwaukee Bucks are great, but it's 147 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: all about the playoffs. I almost wonder in the NFL, 148 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: the way we see the Chiefs played down to the 149 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: level of competition, do they say, you know what, Hey, 150 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: it's tough to go all out, full energy, locked in 151 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: focus for sixteen regular season games and then do it 152 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: in the playoffs when the stakes are even higher and listen. 153 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: Social media I think plays a factor here, and I 154 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: know I've talked about The Social Dilemma a couple of times. 155 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: It is a must watch on Netflix. I'm sure at 156 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: this point Rob g is sick of me mentioning it, 157 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: but you gotta watch the Social Dilemma. Social media plays 158 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,359 Speaker 1: games with your heads and if you are a twentysomething 159 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: on the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs, listen, you're on social 160 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: media a lot. That's just how it is. You've got 161 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: people gassing you up left and right. Look Pet Mahomes 162 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: and his fiance girlfriend whatever, whatever their relationship is. They 163 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: announced that they the white the girl is pregnant, and 164 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: it's like the it's a story on Good Morning America, 165 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: the Today Show, like CNN. You win the Super Bowl, 166 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: You're now big stories everywhere, Like the attention for Mahomes 167 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: and Andy Reid and Tyree Hill, like these guys are 168 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: in the news daily. It wears on you. And and 169 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: that's the biggest challenge for sixteen and O is just 170 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: the attention of social media and the media at large. 171 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: That's gonna be tough because, as I laid out for you, 172 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: those opponents nine of the twelve teams currently are five below. 173 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: There's really only three games left. Now. We will end 174 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: up focusing heavily on that Buffalo Bills Thursday Night affair. 175 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: It's in a couple of weeks. What you need to 176 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: watch is this weekend. The Chiefs have the Raiders, their 177 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: big favorites. They just played on Monday night, short week, 178 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: Derek car and company, Robb G's team coming off getting 179 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: their butts kicked by Josh Allen and the Bills. I 180 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: think the Raidles will be up for that game. It 181 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: could be close in the fourth quarter. The Chiefs will win, 182 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: and then they go to Buffalo and the Bills will 183 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: be undefeated facing I think the Bills takedown Tennessee this weekend. 184 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: I had them um winning that game, but it could 185 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: be a trap game because you know, all anybody's talking 186 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: about is Josh Allen m VP candidate verse Pat Mahomes. 187 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: And I'll wrap up on this. Isn't it funny how 188 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: we're tripping over ourselves to talk about Russell Wilson versus 189 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: Josh Allen for the MVP award. Aaron Rodgers obviously lurking 190 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: what about Pat Mahomes. This is almost like little Lebron 191 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 1: James effect in the NBA. Lebron is the best player 192 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: in the league, but doesn't get the m v P 193 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: love because he's not new, he's not fresh, He's been around, 194 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: Like Aaron Rodgers. I mean, that was masterful work on 195 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. He's getting like no props there on 196 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: defeated no Davante Adams, no Alan Lazard, and what do 197 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: you know? He throws three touchdowns to a tight end 198 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: nobody had heard of three weeks ago, and they roll 199 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 1: the Falcons. Russell Wilson has a great fleet of receivers 200 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: and he's putting up big stats, and Josh Allen is 201 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: putting up great numbers. Ye asked me who the best 202 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league is. It's Pat Mahomes, no questions asked. 203 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: And I love Russell Wilson and I'm on the Josh 204 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: Allen trade. I'm late to that, but I have wedged 205 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: my way under that bandwagon and I will ride that 206 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: bad boy. Um. I don't know, folks, I think sixteen 207 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: and always didn't played for the Chiefs. Rob g Any 208 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: thoughts on the Chiefs going undefeated, And I know you 209 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: looked at that schedule because if Drew Brees looks washed now, 210 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: although he bounced back against the Lions to an extent, 211 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: what's he gonna look like in December after a grueling 212 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: sixteen game schedule and then having to try to keep 213 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: up with Pat Mahomes in the Chiefs. I mean, I'm 214 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: not really worried about the Saints going down the stretch 215 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: for them. That's not I think that Andy Reid, Pat 216 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: Mahomes and the guys are gonna play up for games 217 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: like that. What I would be more concerned with, even 218 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: though I don't think the Raiders are a good team, 219 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: is a game like that, a game maybe against Miami 220 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: in Miami something or you know something where like last night, 221 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: they look like they kind of sleep walk through the 222 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: first half and Pat Mahomes, you know, those two picks 223 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: that he should have thrown to actually do get caught 224 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: by a defender, that kind of thing. You know, Um, 225 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: I think that they kind of have like you mentioned 226 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: that seventy three win Warriors team where it's like, hey, 227 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: when they played Lebron they wanted by thirty five points. 228 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: That wasn't they were going to come to play. But 229 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: when they played you know, the the Bobcats on the 230 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: second out of the back to back, they might need 231 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 1: to really grind it out in the fourth quarter to 232 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: win by six. That's the kind of vibe I get 233 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: from that team, and they look really really good. Man. 234 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: It sucks to say because I'm a Raider fan and 235 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: we're in that division and we have to play him 236 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: twice a year, but I don't see a defense that 237 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: can slow them down if they're you know, locked in 238 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 1: like they should be. Yeah, you want to sit dropped 239 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: back in that zone. And then Pat Mahomes would be like, fine, 240 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: I'll just take the twelve yard carry. You're gonna let 241 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: me have, you know, And then Travis Kelsey'll find a 242 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: hole and then they lure you to sleep with Edwards 243 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: Hilaria and then boom, there goes Tyreek Hill streaking down 244 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: the sideline and they they definitely did not play their 245 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: A game on Monday Night and they still want fairly handily. Um, 246 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: I guess the other Monday night game. We don't really 247 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 1: need to talk about your guy, Aaron Rodgers. The Packers 248 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: are your Super Bowl pick. Rob g I was very 249 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: wrong about the Packers. I am um willing to admit that, 250 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, two divisions. I screwed up badly. I thought 251 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions would win the North. Um, I'm done. 252 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: I'm done with the Lions. I picked them last year, 253 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: I got punched in the face. I'm picking them again 254 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: this year. And you know, four weeks in and I 255 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: realized that that is sunk that's a sunken cost. It's done. 256 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: And Aaron Rodgers looks awesome. Now, I just want to 257 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 1: ask Rob G the Jordan's Love draft pick in the 258 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: first round. In hindsight, has it helped Aaron Rodgers get 259 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: angrier like, oh, that's what you're gonna do? I'm not 260 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: ready to go out the same way Brady reacted when 261 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: they drafted Garoppolo. Or does it even look dumber because 262 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: my gosh, they could have got a difference maker, possibly 263 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: on defense in the front seven, and you know there 264 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: their their defense is a little Swiss cheesy at times. 265 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 1: Although jayra Alexander, I don't know if he guarded Calvin 266 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: Ridley the entire night, but Calvin Ridley had five targets 267 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: zero catches, a stunning development. Now, if you listen to 268 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 1: Monday's podcast, I did note that Calvin Ridley could have 269 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: trouble against Alexander and how will Ridley look outdoors? Once 270 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: Julio Jones left Monday, you thought Ridley would have a 271 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: big game, and he had a big, goose sick, unbelievable performance. 272 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: Rob G, you feel good about that Packers Super Bowl ticket? Yeah? 273 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: That's I do. I mean now, in full disclosure, when 274 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: I was filling out my Super by preseason predictions. I 275 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: knew all along I had the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, 276 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: I mean and and he said, well, the Chiefs is 277 00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: gonna run through this one again. You know, they're bringing 278 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: everybody be back. They got this incredible offense, they got 279 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: the best quarterback. They're gonna repeat. But history says that 280 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: does not happen. So I knew that whoever I picked 281 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: from the NFC to get there, I had to pick 282 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: them to beat the Chiefs because history says you don't repeat. 283 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: And I was all on board with the Aaron Rodgers 284 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: revenge tour coming into this season, So it kind of 285 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: worked out that way that he really is on the 286 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: revenge tour and he's really dominating like I expected he would. 287 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: But going back to that Jordan's love draft pick. As 288 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: much as I, you know, hyped up the revenge tour, 289 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: I really don't think Rogers is kind of motivated by that. 290 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: I think that he is just so good individually and 291 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: more importantly than just like with any quarterback in the NFL, 292 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: having any kind of consistency around you is gonna make 293 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: you better. Your second year in a system will be 294 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: better than your first, your third better than your second, 295 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: and so on and so forth. So he was already 296 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 1: lights out running backyard football and Mike McCarthy's offense because 297 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: that offense was stagnant. There was no motion. That was 298 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: no movement. It was Aaron Rodgers saying, hey, go seven yards, 299 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: break out to the left, and I'm gonna hit you. 300 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: Turn around. I mean that the true story. He did 301 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: that in the playoffs with that Jared Cook down the 302 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: side of mine, you know, completion against the Cowboys. That 303 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: that play was not designed. It was Aaron Rodgers selling 304 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: a word to go. So once you saw and it 305 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: seemed like he bought into that system later on in 306 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: the season and he kind of stuff. They got into 307 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: a rhythm this season. He was totally on board. It 308 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: seemed like Davante Adams looked like he was healthy even 309 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: though he's been out earlier on in the season. I mean, 310 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is just awesome. And that's why as much 311 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: as I know you're a big Pat Mahomes guy, I mean, 312 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: he's not quite Kevin Durant to you where you guys 313 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: text a lot, but I know you guys d him 314 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: every once in a while. I mean, Pat Mahomes is great. 315 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: That's that's not to take anywhere from him, But have 316 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: people forgotten how good Aaron Rodgers is. Like I was like, 317 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: I've never seen anyone make a throw like Pat Mahomes 318 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: just made you see that fifty yards on his back 319 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: foot on the dot, Like Aaron Rodgers does that twice 320 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: a week. Like it's just because you've come, You've become 321 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: numb to it. It's like the James Harden effect in 322 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: an NBA. You you see it so often and you're 323 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,239 Speaker 1: kind of like, oh, yeah, he does that too. I 324 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: wonder how much the prickly nature of Rogers hurts him. 325 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: He doesn't play nice with the media. He's very short 326 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: and curt uh doesn't do a ton of interviews. Um, 327 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: I just I wonder how much that hurts his image. 328 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure he doesn't give a rats ass 329 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 1: what the media thinks. But when you get guys like 330 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson just being playing so nice with the media, 331 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: they love him. They love that Pat Mahomes, great interview, 332 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: Andy Read, great interview, uh Lamar Jackson. People are warming 333 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: up to him. I know he had a rough intro 334 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: to the NFL. A lot of people thought he would fail, 335 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: but you had the guy. But that's an old guy. 336 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: Poley and at ESPN saying he should try out for 337 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: wide receiver. Um so lamar. People have warmed up to 338 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: but he isn't want anything in the playoffs. Like people 339 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: love Mahomes, people for whatever reason don't love Aaron Rodgers. 340 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: Um I want a quick to get to the other 341 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 1: big NFL story from Monday, Another Bill Belichick disciple bites 342 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 1: the dust And I'm actually surprised that Bill O'Brien was 343 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: the first coach fired, but the Texans dumped him. He 344 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: was the GM and the coach of the Houston Texas. 345 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: They're owing four. That lost to the Vikings was brutal. 346 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,919 Speaker 1: The writing was on the wall for Bill O'Brien. But 347 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: it's crazy to think nine months ago, okay, and the 348 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: January the Kansas City Chiefs were down twenty four nothing 349 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 1: to Bill O'Brien and the Houston Texans in the playoffs. 350 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: Nine months ago, and now he's out of a job. 351 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: And I don't know who's gonna be hiring Bill O'Brien 352 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: anytime soon. Obviously he's an egomaniac. He ruined the Houston Texans. 353 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: And I'll be real here, I don't think this is 354 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: as great of a job as everybody makes it out 355 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: to be. And I'll explain, Yes, you have Shawn Watson, 356 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback, but you just paid him top dollar. 357 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: We know the big value in quarterbacks is when they're 358 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: on the rookie deal. Look at the rest of that roster. 359 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: The Houston Texans are the only team in the NFL 360 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: that is not forced to turn over. Their defense is 361 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: unbelievably bad and totally devoid of talent. The offense, I mean, 362 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,640 Speaker 1: you traded your great receiver DeAndre Hopkins and you're basically 363 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: building around David Johnson, who's nothing special, or running back 364 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 1: Will Fuller, who is a free agent this offseason. He's 365 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: gonna want to get paid. Folks. I don't even think 366 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: Will Fuller is going to be on the Texans next year. 367 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: Kenny Stills, Randall, Cob Brandon Cooks. I mean, it is 368 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: unbelievable how bad Bill O'Brien shaped this roster. And I 369 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: don't think this is a good job. I don't think 370 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: this is a better job than the New York Jets. 371 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 1: I don't think this is a better job than the 372 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. They the huge Ston Texans do not have 373 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: a first door second round draft pick. In the Miami 374 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: Dolphins get the hues De Texans first round draft pick, 375 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: and it owed four. That pick looks like it could 376 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: be a top six pick, maybe top five Deshaun Watson 377 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: goes down or something. It's you know, you look at 378 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: the top three. But I'm telling you right now, if 379 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 1: I am the guy's name who's running the show is 380 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: Jack Easterby, easter By whatever. He's the e v P 381 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: of football operations. He came over from New England and 382 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: everybody instantly says, well, he's got a great relationship with 383 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels. What do we call it? Another brute Bill 384 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: Belichick disciple for what's the plan there? I mean, we've 385 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: seen Bill Belichick coach these guys up in New England. 386 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: They leave the nest. We talked about this on the podcast. 387 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: I think it was last week and they don't deliver 388 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: over and oh how many times do you need to 389 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: see it? I'm not I'm not making a move on 390 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels. Yeah, he's done great things with Cam Newton 391 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: in New England. With Bill Belichick. I mean, come on, 392 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: what are we doing? Why would we go after Josh McDaniels. 393 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: If I'm the Houston Texans, first guy I go for 394 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: is obvious. Dabo Sweeney, Deshaun Watson's college football coach. Is 395 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: he gonna want to leave if Dobbo looks at that team. 396 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: The Houston Texas, by the way, at oh and four, 397 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: have the highest payroll in the league this year, No 398 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: first round or second round pick next year. It ain't 399 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: gonna be easy to turn that around. It's not like 400 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: the defense as like young guys like Carolina has a 401 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,239 Speaker 1: young defense with a bunch of good prospects. You can 402 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 1: coach them up there on the cheap. They're gonna be 403 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: good players. Houston doesn't even have that. Their secondary is 404 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: an abject failure. Kirk Cousines lit him up. The linebackers 405 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: can't tackle, The defensive line can't get to the quarterback. 406 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: Oh Jason trade J J. Watt I got a bunch 407 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: of tweets about that. Um guys, J J. Watts thirty one, 408 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: look at his injury history. What are you getting for him? 409 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: A third, a fourth, and a fifth? J watstock commanding 410 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: some big like first round drafting. That's not happening. The 411 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: guy that can get you something is Will Fuller, who 412 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: is a game breaking receiver. Obviously, the health is always 413 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: an issue with Fuller. But if you're the Philadelphia Eagles, 414 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: who just beat the Niners with your top three receivers down, 415 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: how do you make a play on Will Fuller? Do 416 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 1: you say, you know what, Let's let's go out and 417 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: get Will Fuller. If you're the Indianapolis Colts, do you say, 418 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: you know what? T Y Hilton getting up there in age. 419 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe we make a move and add 420 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,080 Speaker 1: Will Fuller. He could command you something. Um, he's a 421 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,399 Speaker 1: free agent. Vernon Hargraves one of their cornerbacks. He's a 422 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: free agent at the end of this year. I'm telling you, man, 423 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans do not have a good roster. It's funny. 424 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: The Houston Astros are one of the most hated teams 425 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: in baseball because of the cheating scandal. The Houston Rockets 426 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: have James Harden and Russell Westbrook and I don't know 427 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: what's going on with the head coaching situation there. The 428 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: Rockets are in disarray. Houston is a weird sports city. 429 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: But just think back for a second nine months ago. 430 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: You can go look this game up on YouTube. The 431 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: Chiefs with Pat Mahomes heavy favorites, are down twenty four 432 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: nothing at home with fans of the Stadium two Bill 433 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 1: O'Brien's Texans. They ended up losing the game like one 434 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: something crazy like that. But I personally think the New 435 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 1: York Jets is a better job, and I'll explain why. 436 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: First of all, they have their first round pick, which 437 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: is gonna be very high and could be Trevor Lawrence. 438 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: They also have Seattle's first round pick, which probably isn't 439 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 1: gonna be very high because Seattle is good. But they 440 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: also have Seattle's second round pick. They have their own 441 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: second round pick, and their cap situation is very manageable. 442 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: Now then the question that comes, well, do you want 443 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: a proven entity and Deshaun Watson at I think he's 444 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: at like thirty seven or thirty eight million dollars a year, 445 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: good luck building around that. Or do you want just 446 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: a blank slate and Trevor Lawrence or Justin Field or 447 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: the kid Trey Lands from North Dakota State. And for me, 448 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 1: I always want a manageable payroll, which is what the 449 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 1: Jets have, an a blank slate. Um. I love Deshaun Watson. 450 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite quarterbacks in the league. I'm 451 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: not touching that roster. They're not winning anything. The only 452 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 1: thing better than sitting on your couch watching the gag 453 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: he's making money while you do it. Here's your best bet, 454 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: all right, let's get to the best bet for Tuesday. 455 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: Monday night went very well too, and oh for the 456 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: best bet, thank you very much. I hope you guys 457 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: are taking these, man. I'm personally taking them. I have 458 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: been profitable on the best bet to the point where 459 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm actually winning money, and I have heard from a 460 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: lot of you, mostly on Instagram, thanking me for the picks. Listen, guys, 461 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: twenty seven, fifteen and four now, and this is only 462 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: in two months, okay, Packers minus six and a half 463 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: hits with ease. I mean the Falcons are trashed. By 464 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 1: the time we listen to this. Dan Quinn probably will 465 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: be fired, and the Chiefs minus eleven a bit of 466 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: a sweat because, as we talked about earlier, the Chiefs 467 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: just kind of played down to the Patriots when they 468 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: saw Brian Hoyer staring them down. But again to and 469 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,400 Speaker 1: I'll take it green money. That's all the matters here. 470 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: Fifteen and four, and I'm doubling up again. Okay, Tuesday night, 471 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Lakers full game, my first full 472 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: game side in the finals. Lakers by seven and a half. 473 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: I don't care if Bam plays. Reports are he's questionable 474 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: and upgrade from doubtful. It was a shoulder, it was 475 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: a neck. It's really unclear what it is. But as 476 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: Rob g articulated on Monday, I I kind of wonder 477 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 1: if maybe there's like a psychological edge the Lakers have 478 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: if bambs out there, because hey, they don't have to 479 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: worry about him hitting threes. Kelly Olenick, believe it or not, 480 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: the cafeteria lady yes has been splashing any more more 481 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: than anything. Opens up the lane for Jimmy Butler to 482 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: go to work. And again I listened Bama to Bayo 483 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: obviously is the better player. The Lakers will solve the 484 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: Kelly Olynic dilemma. But again, I have no fear whether 485 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,719 Speaker 1: or not at a Bio plays. I'm going Lakers by 486 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 1: seven and a half. And my second bet, I actually 487 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: like this one better. Lakers by two and a half 488 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: in the first quarter. If you remember they had that 489 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: miraculous first quarter cover in game one, which I was, 490 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that was amazing, and then in game two, 491 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: I'm fairly certain it was an easy first quarter cover. 492 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 1: Game three is the one where they let down, and 493 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: you will not see them come out with the lack 494 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: of daisical effort in game four. There's just no way 495 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: that happens. From Frank Vogel to Lebron.
