Speaker 1: Kabooms. If you thought four hours a day, hundred minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, think again. He's the last remnants
Speaker 1: of the old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He
Speaker 1: treats crackheads in the ghetto gutter the same as the
Speaker 1: rich pill poppers in the penthouse. The Clearinghouse of Hot
Speaker 1: takes break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere back
Speaker 1: in the podcast dojo for a spectacular edition of The
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour with Ben Maller and Danny g It's not
Speaker 1: your normal podcast. No, it's got a little extra erasmatazz
Speaker 1: because it is time now for Betty versus the Petty.
Speaker 1: We welcome players. You're welcome, are you? It's time now
Speaker 1: Penny versus the Penny. You know what, you could tell
Speaker 1: that Halloween passed because we're both wearing long sleeves right now. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's California cold. From California cold. Will she anywhere else
Speaker 1: in the country that has actual cold weather, people will
Speaker 1: be wearing shorts and and sandals. But in California we
Speaker 1: pull out the long sleeve shirts, were ready to bundle.
Speaker 1: We're such what's this? My chick got on Amazon the
Speaker 1: other day and ordered some huge stand up heater or
Speaker 1: it's my beautiful white so I'm gonna put it right
Speaker 1: by the bed and I'm like, I'm gonna open the
Speaker 1: sliding glass door. That's what I'm gonna do. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: my my wife, of course, she has the heating blankets
Speaker 1: stored for the cold season in California. So you gotta
Speaker 1: pull out the heating blankets, which we've acquired over the years.
Speaker 1: You know, one a year before you know it, You've
Speaker 1: got one for every bed. You've gotta have some for
Speaker 1: the sofa. So anywhere you are, you have to have
Speaker 1: a heating blanket, and that's the the way to go.
Speaker 1: But we're gonna get into it. It's Betty versus the
Speaker 1: Penny of course, the voice of the Great Danny g
Speaker 1: Radio right there, who is representing the penny. And there
Speaker 1: might be some lawsuits over how this is going right now.
Speaker 1: But before we look ahead to week nine, we must
Speaker 1: look back to week eight. In the NFL Every Game Handicap.
Speaker 1: To win money as a sports better you have to
Speaker 1: win more than fifty two point four of your bets uh,
Speaker 1: and likely a fair amount more than that because of
Speaker 1: the juice the way that it works, spending on the NFL,
Speaker 1: betting on sports in general. And so if you're new
Speaker 1: to this podcast, if you've heard us on the radio,
Speaker 1: and I've granted about this and given out picks Benny
Speaker 1: versus the Penny, sports handicapping for the regular guy, a
Speaker 1: bunch of the numbers, man versus an animate object who
Speaker 1: will pick more winners. Over the years, I've lost some,
Speaker 1: I've won some to the Penny. It's been crazy over
Speaker 1: the years. And so this last week, eight fifteen games
Speaker 1: on the card, I went ten and five against the spread,
Speaker 1: and that is my fourth ten win weeks. So I've
Speaker 1: had a pretty good run here to begin the year.
Speaker 1: Ready to give it all back here as we get
Speaker 1: to the second half of the season. But ten and five,
Speaker 1: six sixty seven winning percentage. The Penny had another losing
Speaker 1: week to Penny six and nine against the spread. That's
Speaker 1: a four winning percentage. And if you look at the
Speaker 1: overall season totals, if you look at your radio, and
Speaker 1: you can see right there, we have a I have
Speaker 1: my tellustrator out, Danny. I've got my tellustrator and I'm
Speaker 1: drawing circles around the records right there you see overall,
Speaker 1: I am seventy two and three three. Let me let
Speaker 1: me highlight that again. So that is by my, my, my,
Speaker 1: after that's twenty four games above five hundred. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1: That won't last unless it does. And the Penny, who
Speaker 1: was five hundred a couple of weeks back, has had
Speaker 1: a tough stretcher in the last couple of weeks. And
Speaker 1: so the Penny now is five games under five sixty
Speaker 1: three and two, so that I've opened up a bit
Speaker 1: of separation with the penny. The penny has a four
Speaker 1: seventy nine winning percentage, so we'll see how it goes
Speaker 1: this week. In week number nine of the NFL, I
Speaker 1: am the Nathaniel Hackett and Josh McDaniels of penny flipping. Yes.
Speaker 1: I'm happy though, because this is great and making me
Speaker 1: look better anyway. The teams that aren't playing here in
Speaker 1: Week nine, you will not hear us breakdown the Cowboys
Speaker 1: or the Giants both six and two. They're not playing.
Speaker 1: The Forts have the weekend off at four and four.
Speaker 1: The Steelers are not playing and played much at all
Speaker 1: this year, even when they played two and six Brons.
Speaker 1: The Broncos are three and five. They're they're not playing
Speaker 1: and the Cleveland Browns, who had that win over the Bengals,
Speaker 1: they are also not on the schedule. So the first
Speaker 1: game for US on Venni versus the Penny for Week
Speaker 1: nine every game Sunday and Monday will start out with
Speaker 1: Indianapolis three, four and one at New England four and four.
Speaker 1: It's on CBS with Greg Gumbel and Adam Archiletta on
Speaker 1: the call, and the Patriots opened a five and apt
Speaker 1: point favor in this game. They're favored by five. The
Speaker 1: money a lean towards the Patriots at Gillette Stadium. And
Speaker 1: we're not getting that really nasty cold weather yet. It's
Speaker 1: still November. It's early November. That will come later. Temperature
Speaker 1: is actually California, like in Foxboro in the seventies at kickoff,
Speaker 1: although mostly cloudy and some of the numbers on this game.
Speaker 1: Mac Jones back starting again for the Patriots, who are
Speaker 1: three six and one against the spread their last ten
Speaker 1: with Mac Jones. Bill Belichick's done very well against the
Speaker 1: Colts over the years five and to the last seven,
Speaker 1: but I'm taking the Colts in this game. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you why we need better ball security from Manny this weekend.
Speaker 1: I think we'll get it. The Patriots are not a juggernaut.
Speaker 1: Mac Jones has plenty awards, and in fact, he's rat
Speaker 1: ranked thirty eight out of thirty nine qualified quarterbacks according
Speaker 1: to the numbers from Pro Football Focus their branding system.
Speaker 1: Fourth highest turnover worthy play rate in the NFL this
Speaker 1: season for mac Jones. And I'm looking at you, Steve
Speaker 1: Stefan Gilmour there, I'm looking at you licking your chops.
Speaker 1: The Colts defense up front not exactly Hamburger Helper here.
Speaker 1: As long as you play again, clean game, clean game, uh,
Speaker 1: you'll have a shot to cover in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: Indianapolis six and two against the spread as a road
Speaker 1: dog since the start of last season. Over the past
Speaker 1: ten seasons, people think that when Belichick goes against the
Speaker 1: first or second time starter that he dominant. It's it
Speaker 1: hasn't been the case gambling wise. Belichick his last seven
Speaker 1: games against quarterbacks making their first or second career start
Speaker 1: just two and five, the Patriots record with Belichick coaching,
Speaker 1: So I expect the coast to hang around with Jonathan
Speaker 1: Taylor in that running game. Sam Ellinger was not terrible.
Speaker 1: He wasn't great either in his debut against Washington, and
Speaker 1: he actually did screw up late in that game. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the points. I think there's too many
Speaker 1: points here. Indianapolis is not dreadful. They're They're very similar
Speaker 1: to the Patriots, even with the quarterback conundrum. Patriots will
Speaker 1: win but won't cover the spread. Patriots twenty the Colt seventeen.
Speaker 1: The final believes in Belichick still going with the Patriots. Alright,
Speaker 1: Patriots the picking. If you're wondering how we do this,
Speaker 1: the home team is heads the road team his tales
Speaker 1: because you travel with your your dairy air via plane,
Speaker 1: strands and automobiles, and so that's the way that we
Speaker 1: do it, all right. Next up, Buffalo. Here we go
Speaker 1: Buffalo six and one at the New York Jets five
Speaker 1: and three. It's on CBS with Iron Eagle and Charles Davis,
Speaker 1: friend of the podcast, former Fox Guy. The Bills opened
Speaker 1: up a ten and a half point favorite. It is
Speaker 1: all the way up to twelve and a half and
Speaker 1: the money on this game relatively even so, no real
Speaker 1: advantage either way. Temperatures in the low seventies of MetLife
Speaker 1: Stadium in Jersey. Check this out. The New York Jets,
Speaker 1: the largest home underdog by any any team with a
Speaker 1: winning record since twenty oh seven. The Jets are five
Speaker 1: and three and they're twelve and a half point underdogs.
Speaker 1: And I want to take the Jets in this game,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna ride not with the offense, clearly, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna ride with the defense. Gang Green's defense is not
Speaker 1: mince meat here. They're gonna keep this game close and
Speaker 1: within striking distance New York's other team. The Jets have
Speaker 1: the ninth rank rush defense, fifth in defensive defensive passer rating.
Speaker 1: We saw Josh Allen have a couple of hiccups against
Speaker 1: Green Bay last week. That's the reason the Bills did
Speaker 1: not cover the spread. It's also a sandwich game for Buffalo.
Speaker 1: They had a Sunday night game with the Packers last week.
Speaker 1: They won that game, they didn't cover, and they play
Speaker 1: the six and one Vikings next week game. That's getting
Speaker 1: a little bit of detection, a little bit of traction
Speaker 1: here in in order to generate offense, the Jets are
Speaker 1: gonna have to get the takeaways special teams. Zach Wilson stinks,
Speaker 1: He's no good. They don't have the big play running
Speaker 1: back right now because he's hurt. So there's a rule.
Speaker 1: I have a rule of thumb, a truism. In the
Speaker 1: years I've been handicapping these NFL games. Anytime you get
Speaker 1: seven points or more in a divisional game, you don't
Speaker 1: ask questions. You take the points, you smile, and you
Speaker 1: move on. You're getting almost double that. So there's a
Speaker 1: lot of value with the Jets here, and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take the Jets. Bills will win, but they will not cover.
Speaker 1: Jets will hang around. Bills twenty eight Jets twenty is
Speaker 1: your final, and the penny lands on heads again. Going
Speaker 1: with the Jets. Alright, So agreement on that. Next up,
Speaker 1: Miami five and three at Chicago three and five. It's
Speaker 1: on CBS with Kevin Harland and Trent Green. They have
Speaker 1: the call. The Dolphins opened a three and a point
Speaker 1: favor They're favored by five in this game. Lean in
Speaker 1: the money to the Dolphins. At Soldier Field, temperatures in
Speaker 1: the sixties. It's gonna be windy, and that's what you
Speaker 1: expect in the midwestern Chicago, and not always that way.
Speaker 1: The the Windy City actually named after the politicians, but
Speaker 1: it is windy. There a lot also the numbers on
Speaker 1: this game. The Bears, with Justin Fields as a home underdog,
Speaker 1: are one in five against the spread, their five and
Speaker 1: eleven as an underdog in his career and Miami, they
Speaker 1: haven't been a great road favorite either. They were trailing
Speaker 1: quite a bit against the Lions last week came back
Speaker 1: and one. But I'm gonna take the Dolphins in this game.
Speaker 1: The Bears have the twenty seven ranked offense, their defense
Speaker 1: just gave away their top player, ro Kwan Smith, so
Speaker 1: he's gone to the Ravens, and while the Dolphins we're
Speaker 1: going the other way. Right, These are ships passing in
Speaker 1: the night, the Dolphins adding players Bradley Chubb and others,
Speaker 1: the Bears subtracting players, and Justin Fields bringing a musket
Speaker 1: and going against a nuclear warhead in Tyreek Hill in
Speaker 1: that Dolphin offense. If the weather was bad, if it
Speaker 1: was raining and cold and nasty and all that, I
Speaker 1: would go the other way because it would slow down
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. There's none of that in the forecast. Unless
Speaker 1: I'm missing it, this game will be lopsided. The Bears
Speaker 1: can't keep up. It'll be close for a half, but
Speaker 1: in the end, barring some kind of dramatic injury to
Speaker 1: toa Tuga by Loa or one of the other key
Speaker 1: members of the Dolphins. This is a blowout City Dolphins
Speaker 1: thirty eight Bears twenty the final penny copying off your
Speaker 1: paper going with the Dolphins, all right? Next up for
Speaker 1: us penny versus the Penny. We move on to just
Speaker 1: outside Washington, d C. Over and land Over in Maryland
Speaker 1: suburban d C. And mansorta skull off to the six
Speaker 1: and one start Washington four and four back to come
Speaker 1: back win last week against Indianapolis. This game on Fox.
Speaker 1: Kevin Burkhardt is supposed to call the game with Greg Olsen,
Speaker 1: but there's this little world serious thing which may still
Speaker 1: be going on. We certainly either hope it ends in
Speaker 1: favor of Philadelphia or it does go to a game seven.
Speaker 1: But either way they will play the game. Obviously, who
Speaker 1: knows what we'll be doing the play by play. The
Speaker 1: Vikings opened a two and a half point favorite. They
Speaker 1: are favored by three and a half in this game
Speaker 1: fifty nine of the handle in favor of Washington. Overcast
Speaker 1: and another game in that Northeastern corridor temperatures in the
Speaker 1: seventies that kickoff at FedEx Field. Some of the numbers
Speaker 1: and trends in this game. Washington eight and two against
Speaker 1: the spread with Taylor Heineke starting last ten, starts Minnesota
Speaker 1: five and two against the spread. The last seven is
Speaker 1: a favorite of seven points or less. But we're taking
Speaker 1: the Commanders in this game. And I'm looking at this
Speaker 1: like another one of those trap games for the Vikings.
Speaker 1: They are rolling along. They've got a three and a
Speaker 1: half game lead in the NFC North over the Packers
Speaker 1: and Bears. They've got big bad Buffalo on deck. That
Speaker 1: is a game that can can prove the Vikings aren't
Speaker 1: fraudulent if they can beat the Bills next week. But
Speaker 1: first you to get through the Commanders. Nobody gets up
Speaker 1: for Washington. They don't have headline players, they don't have
Speaker 1: star players. They're just kind of a blog team, generic
Speaker 1: brand team. Uh. These these clubs are not that far apart,
Speaker 1: despite the record disparity, and Taylor Heineke has been a
Speaker 1: spark plug. He's been a good fuse for that morbid franchise.
Speaker 1: He went eighty nine yards to win the game against
Speaker 1: Indie last week, Washington winning and has covered three in
Speaker 1: a row. We expect more of that here they will
Speaker 1: spoil Kirk Cousins return to his old stomping grounds and
Speaker 1: landover Maryland, Washington, Minnesota twenty one the final, and the
Speaker 1: penny disagrees going the other way, taking the Vikings. We
Speaker 1: disagree there. We move on to the Motor City. Green
Speaker 1: Bay three and five at Detroit one and six. It's
Speaker 1: on Fox. You better w watches the Fox box that
Speaker 1: Rocks will be calling this game. Packers a three and
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. They opened a three and a half.
Speaker 1: The line has stayed the same. This game being played
Speaker 1: in a dome at Ford Field, so need no need
Speaker 1: to give you the weather, although the weather will be
Speaker 1: mild in the Motor City. Some of the numbers on
Speaker 1: this one. Green Bay, they have been a dreadful favorite
Speaker 1: of late. They are two and eight against the spread
Speaker 1: their last ten as a favorite. It's like somebody slipped
Speaker 1: them a mickey here. When they've been a favorite, they've
Speaker 1: been terrible. Detroit six and one against the spread their
Speaker 1: last seven as a home dog. Lions are eight and
Speaker 1: two head to head with green Bay against the number
Speaker 1: since seventeen. I'm taking Detroit in this game. You've got
Speaker 1: the Lions on a five game s kid the Packers
Speaker 1: on a four games skid, but our money is gonna
Speaker 1: be with the Hollolu Blue here. They actually have the
Speaker 1: better offense, which hasn't been said for twenty years when
Speaker 1: these teams have played. Detroit's gaining six point two yards
Speaker 1: per played, third in the NFL. They've gotten some guys
Speaker 1: back from injury. They did trade their tight end Hockinson
Speaker 1: to the Vikings. The Packers are stuck in mud here.
Speaker 1: They're stuck in neutral. Lack of playmakers, bad morale. Green
Speaker 1: Bay didn't do anything here at the trade deadline to
Speaker 1: improve the situation. Both teams should be able to move
Speaker 1: the ball on the ground. Neither one is that mind boggling.
Speaker 1: It's not the kind of game that gives you goose bumps.
Speaker 1: The wrong team is favored here. Lions get off the
Speaker 1: schnide Detroit Packers three and Aaron Rodgers is running to
Speaker 1: the Ayahuasca. When this one ends, and the penny disagrees
Speaker 1: with you again going with the Packers's a disagreement. That's good.
Speaker 1: Either titen the record or the record will get much
Speaker 1: worse through thick and thin for the penny. Next up,
Speaker 1: the l A Chargers, show me your lightning Bolt four
Speaker 1: and three at Atlanta four and four. It's on Fox
Speaker 1: with Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma. They have the call.
Speaker 1: The Chargers opened up a three point favorite. This has
Speaker 1: stayed flat scary both these teams. Chargers are three point favorite,
Speaker 1: a lot of the money in favor of the Falcons.
Speaker 1: This game being played in the Mercedes Benz Stadium in Georgia.
Speaker 1: The Chargers over the last couple of years have been
Speaker 1: a debacle. It's been a devil of a time for them.
Speaker 1: In November. There one in nine against the spread their
Speaker 1: last ten games in November, and they've now got a
Speaker 1: losing record with Justin Herbert their last fifteen games against
Speaker 1: the spread six and nine. Atlanta has been a great
Speaker 1: bet with Arthur Smith when the line is either plus
Speaker 1: three to minus three. Falcons are seven and two against
Speaker 1: the spread, Atlanta three and oh at home as a dog,
Speaker 1: He's a live dog here at home this season, so
Speaker 1: they've done a very good job in their own house.
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Falcons here, a healthy Charger team which
Speaker 1: smash Atlanta two bits. But that's not the case. Keenan
Speaker 1: Allen dinged up doesn't look like he's gonna play. Mike Williams,
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa, J C. Jackson, and a host of other
Speaker 1: big names are Gonzo. The Falcons meet in Potato. They say,
Speaker 1: matchups make fights, and this is our styles make fights,
Speaker 1: and this is quite the matchup favor for Atlanta. Falcons
Speaker 1: can run the ball. It's what they do pretty well.
Speaker 1: That happens to be the kryptonite for the bolt. The
Speaker 1: Chargers are thirty second against the run. That's dead last,
Speaker 1: allowing five points seven yards per rush. Atlanta has a
Speaker 1: jackhammer attack. They've rotated running backs in. They're tied for
Speaker 1: twelve in the NFL, so there will be no joy
Speaker 1: in Mudville. Back in Charger Land, the Falcons, after that
Speaker 1: stinker against Cincinnati and then another one where they barely
Speaker 1: won against the Carolina Panthers last week, they will have
Speaker 1: another close game, but they will win it as a
Speaker 1: home dog. Falcons twenty and the Chargers seventeen is your final.
Speaker 1: And the penny also likes the dirty birds at home.
Speaker 1: All right, Next up, as we work against the clock.
Speaker 1: Of course, there is really no pod there's no podcast clock.
Speaker 1: We don't have to worry, all right, Danny. Literally we
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to the network clock either. Exactly. We're
Speaker 1: rebels like that, Danny. We do what we want to do.
Speaker 1: We talk when we want to talk. Bring down the
Speaker 1: house is what we do. I Caroline at two and
Speaker 1: six at Cincinnati at four and three on Fox with
Speaker 1: Kevin Coogler and Mark Sanchez on the call. Neither one
Speaker 1: of these teams in good shape here. The Bengals opened
Speaker 1: a nine and a half point favorite, but that has
Speaker 1: on down two seven the handle in this game and
Speaker 1: about eighty eight on Cincinnati Sunny temperatures in the sixties
Speaker 1: at the corporately named Paid Corps Stadium in the Natty
Speaker 1: as that game, this will this will not be a
Speaker 1: game where teams are bouncing off the wall. Some of
Speaker 1: the numbers here. Carolina has has been dreadful as an
Speaker 1: underdog five and ten against the spread, but they have
Speaker 1: covered back to back games, and they were actually three
Speaker 1: and seventeen against the spread their last twenty prior to that,
Speaker 1: but now back to back covers Cincinnati. Some of the
Speaker 1: numbers here, Joe Burrows starting their twelve and three against
Speaker 1: spread lost last week. I'm taking the Panthers. I'm taking
Speaker 1: the Panthers made a coaching change, they made a quarterback change.
Speaker 1: They've actually been competitive since they did that. For the
Speaker 1: most part, I just don't trust since he right now,
Speaker 1: they were so blah and I don't trust them as
Speaker 1: a touchdown favorite. They allowed four forty yards to do
Speaker 1: Kobe Brissette and the Browns weak ass offense last week.
Speaker 1: They're playing a bunch of inexperienced players in the secondary.
Speaker 1: They'll be yards to be had for p J. Walker
Speaker 1: as the Bengals are susceptible to giving up the big play.
Speaker 1: We saw that last week d J. Moore, who cost
Speaker 1: Carolina the game by taking off his helmet last week
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. But the Panthers put up thirty four points
Speaker 1: in that game, and they should be able to move
Speaker 1: the ball. And this one. The Panthers four and one
Speaker 1: against the spread with p J. Walkers starting and Joe
Speaker 1: Burrow as a seven point favorite, just one and four
Speaker 1: against the spread in his career as a seven point favorite.
Speaker 1: And you don't have Jamaar Chase in this game. Carolina
Speaker 1: can slow this game down. Slow this game down. Also,
Speaker 1: fourth fourth, Joe Burrow the third down in long situations.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have his top receiver Jamaar Chase Bengals will
Speaker 1: win the game, but not the number. The Bengal Panthers
Speaker 1: twenty three the final, and the penny says Burrow will
Speaker 1: bounce back with major points, taking the Bengals. Not so fast,
Speaker 1: my friend, Not so fast, all right. Next up Las Vegas,
Speaker 1: Al Raiders at two and five, as they were trampled
Speaker 1: there was a rampage in New Orleans last week Raiders
Speaker 1: two and five, Jacksonville two and six on CBS with
Speaker 1: Andrew Catalan and James Lofton on the call. The Raiders
Speaker 1: opened a one point favorite and they are still favorite
Speaker 1: on the road, favorite by one and a half slight
Speaker 1: lean on the money, the handle goes to Jacksonville as
Speaker 1: this is one of those punched the clock situations for
Speaker 1: both these teams, seemingly going nowhere at t I A
Speaker 1: A Bank Stadium temperatures in the eighties and Sonny for
Speaker 1: the most part. In Jacksonville, the Raiders are oh and
Speaker 1: seven their last seven games as a road favorite, and
Speaker 1: the numbers are just cringeworthy for Derek Carr, as he
Speaker 1: has been a debacle when favorite on the road. But
Speaker 1: it isn't much better for Jacksonville They're one in nine
Speaker 1: against the spread their last ten as a home favorite
Speaker 1: against teams traveling from long distances like the West Coast
Speaker 1: or even the far Rocky Mountain time zones. So they've
Speaker 1: been bad. Teams traveling miles or more have been dominant
Speaker 1: against Jacksonville. But I'm gonna take the jackson this game.
Speaker 1: Neither one of these teams is any good. As we said,
Speaker 1: the Raiders did hang out on the East Coast, they
Speaker 1: were practicing in Florida, didn't go back to Vegas after
Speaker 1: they played in New Orleans, licking their wounds. Same old
Speaker 1: lay mass excuses from Josh McDaniels and also Derek Carr,
Speaker 1: which have not he say the same thing every time
Speaker 1: you lose. It's people stop listening to you after a while.
Speaker 1: But the defense, the Raiders defense, they allowed Davis Mills
Speaker 1: and the Texans to do pretty well for three quarters.
Speaker 1: Houston was leading that game a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: and Andy Dalton going to the fourth quarter, and Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton and the Saints were fine last week. They've had
Speaker 1: some success. I don't expect Trevor Trevor Lawrence to struggle
Speaker 1: all that much against the Raiders. She's got to stop
Speaker 1: the brain fog which has happened sporadically some unforced errors.
Speaker 1: But so does Derek Carr. He's a mess on the road,
Speaker 1: as we said. In fact, it's even worse than the numbers.
Speaker 1: We gave Cars four twelve and one against the spread
Speaker 1: as a road favorite, and of course the O n
Speaker 1: seven last seven times since Derek Carr and the Raiders
Speaker 1: are one ten and one as a road favorite. So
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Jacks here. You have some success
Speaker 1: on the ground with Travis at the end to matriculate
Speaker 1: the ball around and catch passes out of the backfield.
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Las Vegas twenty four. Sorry, Danny, it's it's
Speaker 1: not personal, it's just business. Danny. Oh, I know. And
Speaker 1: I was actually hoping the penny might go the other
Speaker 1: way because it's been a jinx lately, landed on tails.
Speaker 1: So taking the Raiders, you're right about the middle of
Speaker 1: their defense without Nate Hobbs been since he's been with
Speaker 1: the cast. Oh my goodness. Offenses can just go to
Speaker 1: the middle and do whatever they want against that Raiders defense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and and what you have Davante Adams, Why is it
Speaker 1: so hard to get Adams the ball. He never had
Speaker 1: this issue in Green Bay. They always ball. I don't
Speaker 1: understand why it's so hard for car who supposedly besties
Speaker 1: with Davante Adams. They went to the college together, and
Speaker 1: it's embarrassed. That's also that's also in an indictment on
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels, who's supposed to be God's gift offensive football.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, I mean, supposedly Davante had a
Speaker 1: bad flu last week and shouldn't have played, and they
Speaker 1: say he still has some symptoms. But I mean, that's
Speaker 1: still no excuse. If you're out there, you've got to perform.
Speaker 1: So hopefully those two can bounce back, because they look
Speaker 1: decent at times and then they've looked awful at times.
Speaker 1: So hopefully they can get on a little run here
Speaker 1: and go back to five. They do have a path
Speaker 1: to five and five if they can get their ship together. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but they're they're capable of losing to anybody. It's like
Speaker 1: they have been right in there with some big squads
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs, so they're actually capable of winning big
Speaker 1: games too. Bad teams lose close games. Bad teams. I'm
Speaker 1: moving on. We will explore all avenues on Benny Versus
Speaker 1: the Penny. We get to the late television window now
Speaker 1: and we'll start out in the Valley of the Sun.
Speaker 1: And more on that coming up on the Saturday podcast.
Speaker 1: A never before told story that I will reveal on
Speaker 1: our Saturday practice. Is that a teaser? Is that a
Speaker 1: teas day? I'm gonna have Marcel tweet that out right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: welcome aboard, all right. Seattle five and three at Arizona
Speaker 1: three and five on Fox with Adam Amine and Darryl
Speaker 1: moose Johnston. The Cardinals opened a two and a half
Speaker 1: point favorite. They are favorite by two in the Grand
Speaker 1: Canyon State and the slight lean on the money to
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Some of the numbers here as the weather
Speaker 1: being the seventies. It's a dome at State Farm Stadium
Speaker 1: in Glendale, Arizona. Seattle eleven and four their last fifteen
Speaker 1: against the spread in road conference games, Arizona has been
Speaker 1: a dreadful home favorite. Gino Smith has been great for
Speaker 1: Seattle seven and three against the spread the last ten.
Speaker 1: With Gino starting, I'm taking the Seahawks here. I never
Speaker 1: thought I would ever say that Geno Smith is clearly
Speaker 1: the better quarterback again, someone who's got a two d
Speaker 1: million dollar contract or whatever the little little fellows making.
Speaker 1: But that's the case there. Gino Smith has been better
Speaker 1: and it's not even close. As he mixes it up
Speaker 1: with DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett and Kenneth Walker the
Speaker 1: third Seattle actually looks like a good team. They're not
Speaker 1: a great team, but they're good. They're better than it
Speaker 1: should have been by a mile, and they're a small
Speaker 1: dog here. Kyler Murray has been good for one to
Speaker 1: two mistakes a game, and that is gonna derail Arizona's
Speaker 1: derailed them most of the year. Even with their big
Speaker 1: stud receiver coming back, DeAndre Hopkins. The bad times, bad
Speaker 1: times for the most part, continue here. You've got bad
Speaker 1: blood between Murray and Kingsbury, not happy the coach with
Speaker 1: alligator arms Murray and Cliff Kingsbury. As a home favorite
Speaker 1: five and eleven against the spread. As a home favorite,
Speaker 1: you toss in some dinged up offensive lineman and Seattle's
Speaker 1: defense overachieving as well, not just Gino Smith. It does
Speaker 1: not bode well for the desert version of the Birds.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take Seattle thirty and Arizona the final
Speaker 1: and the penny going with the Cardinals, all right, Penny
Speaker 1: going the other way on that game. And we we
Speaker 1: do want to thank the loyal minions who have listened
Speaker 1: every week religiously to this podcast, including David in Winter Park,
Speaker 1: Florida and Roscoe the Parrot is Pet Imaginary Parrot, also
Speaker 1: Rob in Vegas and several others who have emailed me
Speaker 1: every week to critique my work, Danny. They tell me
Speaker 1: what they like and what they don't like as I
Speaker 1: give these picks and they tell me I'm wrong, although
Speaker 1: I haven't been all that wrong in a in a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, Danny. So things have been going well here.
Speaker 1: We'll see knock on, you know, I know, all right?
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of football at the l A.
Speaker 1: I am is it? Three and four at Tompa Bay
Speaker 1: three and five on the CBS with Jim Nance and
Speaker 1: Tony Romo. They have the call on this game. The
Speaker 1: Bucks opened to two point favorite. They're favorite by three
Speaker 1: the money in favor of Tampa Bay. Temperatures in the
Speaker 1: low eighties at Raymond James Stadium. The Rams just two
Speaker 1: and five against the spread this season, but the Buccaneers
Speaker 1: one in six with Tom Brady under center against the spread.
Speaker 1: Holy Connoli does that stink? And Tampa Bay has not
Speaker 1: done well against Matthew Stafford, of all people, Stafford gambling
Speaker 1: wise five and two in his last seven matchups with
Speaker 1: the old Buckaroos. There the Creamsicles. But I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in this game. And the main reason why
Speaker 1: is Cooper Cup is dinged up. He's expected to play,
Speaker 1: but how effective is he gonna be in this dust
Speaker 1: up in Florida? The Rams simply don't have anyone else
Speaker 1: who can consistently make plays on offense. They they look
Speaker 1: dizzy without Cooper Cup being the man. Even with Cooper Cup,
Speaker 1: they still have looked a little bit off. These teams
Speaker 1: are doppel gangers of each other. Neither one has lived
Speaker 1: up to expectations. Tampa Bay is oh and six against
Speaker 1: the spread their last six, the longest single season against
Speaker 1: the spread losing streak of Tom Brady's career is going
Speaker 1: on right now. But yet I'm gonna take Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go with the Buccaneers because I have more
Speaker 1: faith that Brady will play a cleaning game as opposed
Speaker 1: to Matthew Stafford. And unless Allen Robinson or one of
Speaker 1: these other guys actually starts earning their money as playmakers,
Speaker 1: which they haven't done. I just don't. Even with the
Speaker 1: Bucks defensive issues, I don't. The Rams have not been
Speaker 1: able to score many points. They move the ball between
Speaker 1: the twenties, they normally fumble it away or throw an interception,
Speaker 1: screw it up somehow or another Buccaneers Ram seventeen the
Speaker 1: final Penny would also like to go out scamming at
Speaker 1: weddings with Tom Brady for bride's maids. Going with the Bucks.
Speaker 1: I hope I'm wrong on that game. That's one I
Speaker 1: would like to get wrong. I see the Rams win it,
Speaker 1: but I handicapped the game. That's the way I see it.
Speaker 1: And even though I like the Rams, what the hell?
Speaker 1: All Right? Next up? Prime time games? Now Sunday Night
Speaker 1: football just too late games. As we said, Tampa and
Speaker 1: the Rams and Seattle in Arizona. So that guy that
Speaker 1: does the Red Zone channel is gonna have a lot
Speaker 1: of full time all right, Sunday Night Football Tennessee five
Speaker 1: and two at Canansa City, also five and two on
Speaker 1: and Be You See with Mike Tariko and Chris Collinsworth
Speaker 1: Day of the call. The Chiefs opened up an eleven
Speaker 1: point favorite, and they are favored by twelve and a
Speaker 1: half at Arrowhead Stadium, Temperatures in the fifties at kickoff
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Some of the numbers on this one.
Speaker 1: Tennessee has done very well against Andy Reid coach teams.
Speaker 1: They're eight and two against the spread their last ten
Speaker 1: matchups with coach read Kansas City also six and nine
Speaker 1: against the spread, their last fifteen at home with Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes starting, and double digit favorites are eight, three and
Speaker 1: one in primetime game since the start of last seasons.
Speaker 1: That boats well for Kansas City. But I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Titans in this game. And even with the questionable
Speaker 1: status of Ryan Tannehill, he's damaged at the time we
Speaker 1: are rolling on this podcast, it appears that he is
Speaker 1: up in the air. He may play, he may not play.
Speaker 1: Has been crossed off the list. Malik Willis, who's clearly
Speaker 1: an acquired taste, look like he should be on a
Speaker 1: practice squad somewhere or delivering door dash. But he did
Speaker 1: start last week. Tennessee won the game anyway, because if
Speaker 1: Derek Henry they played hide the quarterback. The recipe for
Speaker 1: this week calls for more of the same, long, methodical,
Speaker 1: time consuming drives. You basically want to play keep away,
Speaker 1: play it safe, underneath passes, work together, convert marginal or
Speaker 1: not marginal manageable third downs, and the Titans are going
Speaker 1: to have to make a couple of plays on defense,
Speaker 1: get a couple of turnovers. Tennessee is the third team,
Speaker 1: just the third team in the Super Bowl era because
Speaker 1: all the way back to nineteen sixty six to be
Speaker 1: a double digit underdog despite having at least five game
Speaker 1: winning streak, very rarely once in a blue moon does
Speaker 1: this happen. And while any Reid and Patrick Mahomes are
Speaker 1: great and can probably pick their final score in this game,
Speaker 1: they normally take their foot off the gas pedal as
Speaker 1: the game goes on, which will allow a backdoor cover.
Speaker 1: And I just love Mike Rabel as a double digit dog.
Speaker 1: They lost in this spot earlier this year, but in
Speaker 1: his were Mike Rabels coach teams fourteen and four against
Speaker 1: the spread, thirteen and five outright as an underdog of
Speaker 1: at least four points including the playoffs, and this is
Speaker 1: much more than that. So the Chiefs will win it,
Speaker 1: but within the margin of error for Tennessee Chiefs thirty
Speaker 1: one and the Titans twenty the final and the penny
Speaker 1: says that prime time record is going to improve to
Speaker 1: nine three and one, going with the Chiefs. All right,
Speaker 1: disagreement there. We'll get to the last game on the car.
Speaker 1: We circle to Monday night football. There's the Ravens will
Speaker 1: try to make themselves at home in the Bayou. Baltimore
Speaker 1: five and three, New Orleans three and five. It's on
Speaker 1: ABC with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. As another week
Speaker 1: a blank canvas, a new week upon us here and
Speaker 1: the Saints defense that had not been worth a nickel
Speaker 1: went out and pitched a shutout last week. So does
Speaker 1: that mean they're back or was that just an aberration? Baltimore,
Speaker 1: they also have had their issues, but they won their
Speaker 1: last game as well. So I'm gonna take the Ravens
Speaker 1: in this game. Baltimore eight one and one against the
Speaker 1: spread their last ten on the road with more than
Speaker 1: six days arrest, the Ravens are five and twelve though
Speaker 1: against the spread as a favorite since the start of
Speaker 1: last season, they haven't won as a favorite gambling wise
Speaker 1: the last three times, but I think they will here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Baltimore. Love me some Lamar Jackson against
Speaker 1: that Saints defense. The ground game mixed with the selective
Speaker 1: passing by Lamar Jackson and that Saints defense. I believe
Speaker 1: that they actually sucked it. Last week was an anomaly
Speaker 1: and it will come crashing back down to earth in
Speaker 1: the desert here the Saints defense. Lightning will not strike
Speaker 1: twice in the same spot. Baltimore energized. They locker room
Speaker 1: got some mojo. They picked up ro Kwan Smith from
Speaker 1: the Bears. That's a sign management. That's a vote of
Speaker 1: confidence for the team that management thinks the squad is
Speaker 1: going to make some some movement in the postseason. Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton the main reason I'm picking against the Saints, not
Speaker 1: only their defense, but Andy Dalton prime time Dalton, Prime
Speaker 1: time Dalton twenty four prime time starts over his career
Speaker 1: six and eighteen. Six and eighteen is his record as
Speaker 1: a prime time quarterback. You remember that Thursday night game
Speaker 1: Saints and Cardinals when he took a ride on the
Speaker 1: vomit comment up and down the field and gave the
Speaker 1: game away. And I want to jog your memory there
Speaker 1: just before halftime and continued it in the second half.
Speaker 1: I cannot stomach betting on Andy Dalton. So even though
Speaker 1: the Ravens are favored and I usually side with underdogs,
Speaker 1: I'm taking Baltimore in this game. Ravens seven and the
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints twenty is the final and the Penny
Speaker 1: says that Saints defense is gonna show up again, going
Speaker 1: with the Saints alright, so we go the other way
Speaker 1: on that game. And that is every game on the card.
Speaker 1: A light schedule. We only have a couple more weeks
Speaker 1: of the buys because Thanksgiving everyone plays Thanksgiving week. We
Speaker 1: have the the multiple games on Thanksgiving and throughout the weekend,
Speaker 1: so and then later on Christmas Holidays will be some
Speaker 1: some big matchups there on a Saturday during Christmas. So
Speaker 1: that will do it for Benny versus the Penny. Remember though,
Speaker 1: a never before told story on the Saturday podcast with
Speaker 1: my man Danny g here and check that out also
Speaker 1: the mailbag on Sunday No days all. Remember good luck
Speaker 1: money management, money management, don't go crazy, Do not go
Speaker 1: wild and crazy with your bets. They all your bets
Speaker 1: be winning ones though, and hopefully you do not turn
Speaker 1: into a pumpkin. We'll catch you next time on Benny
Speaker 1: Versus the Penny, and we'll catch you tomorrow on the
Speaker 1: fifth Hour podcast Later Skater to be Funny, go what
Speaker 1: do you think about the Wizards
