Then it is Benny versus Penny for Week 3 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,319 Speaker 1: twelve in the NFL. As we are back at it 4 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: on the fifth Hour with Ben Maller and the voice 5 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: of the Penny, the Really Angry David Guest. I'm really 6 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: angry about something I don't know. You complain it about 7 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: because you're always upset with something I don't know. I'm 8 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: cut into the weather. Just finished an exciting game of 9 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: cal State Northridge basketball against Portland Women's basketball, women's basket. 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: You sexist all of a sudden. I just want to 11 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: point that out because you you hoodwinked me last week 12 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: with a ce Sun game versus Virginia, and I was like, wow, 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: Virginia won the Final Four a couple of years ago, 14 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: and now now here they are in ce Sun in 15 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: their little gymnasium. And then it turned out, No, that 16 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: was false, false news, fake news, gascon, they call you. 17 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: There was nothing I said that was inaccurate. There's nothing 18 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: you said that was inaccurate. It did play in the 19 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 1: Final Four a couple of years ago. Uh, they did 20 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: play at the Matadome on the campus of cal State Northridge. 21 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: So nothing in there was false. You led to believe 22 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: that it was a men's game. That's your dumb asphalts, 23 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: along with your fake voice of reason, Eddie Garcia. You 24 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,039 Speaker 1: guys are trying to trash me on the air on 25 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: a national show. It's embarrassing. But whatever. Well, you know 26 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 1: there's a term for that. It's lying by omission. In 27 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: the court system. They call that lying by omission. So 28 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: you are guilty. That is your mistake, a lie of omission. 29 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: You deliberately withheld very important details that would have changed 30 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: the story. So you hung yourself with your own rope. 31 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: How about that? No, I again look it up. Lie 32 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: of omission. It's a legal term. As you know. I've 33 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: practiced law behind microphones for many, many years, and uh, 34 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: I think I have met the standard of the burden 35 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: of proof. I've proven that you are a dirty doll. No, 36 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: that's not true, because you would need uh without a 37 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: shadow of a doubt. You'd have to have beyond a 38 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: reasonable doubt. Since we're in in a court a lot 39 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: this was a civil suit, would be evidence. I understand that. 40 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: Thank you very much for touching up my work here, 41 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: But I the discovery phase was fascinating. When I looked 42 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: into you here, it was a fascinating thing. Must you 43 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: have been during your show to actually look up what 44 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: game I did and verify if I actually did see 45 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: Sun and Virginia? Well, listen, I don't do small talk. 46 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: I tried to do small talk with Eddie. I thought, well, 47 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: this will be pretty impressive. I'll talk about this season, Virginia. 48 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 1: I was very proud of your little school ce Sun there. 49 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: I was gonna celebrate season, and then you made me 50 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: look like a donkey, So thank you appreciate that. Can 51 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: we get to the damn games? Now? Can we get 52 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: to the games? All right? We will not talk about 53 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: alligator arms. Murray the Umpa Lupa has the week off. 54 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: Good for him and the Chiefs. They're not playing, the Charge, 55 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: the teams that played in Mexico, they're off. The Minnesota Vikings, 56 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: the Bootleg King Kirk Cousins and the Vikings also not playing. 57 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: So those four teams have the week off. Remember next 58 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: week is Thanksgiving, so we will have a full monty 59 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: of NFL game starting on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day next week. 60 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: But let's get into We'll start with the early television. 61 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: We have to go back. We can't go forward if 62 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: we if we can't go back. Oh, now, all of 63 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: a sudden, you want to you want to go back here. Okay, 64 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: let's go back. Let's let's go back. I thought you 65 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: didn't do your homework there. Let's go back and look 66 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: at the week that was in the NFL. Another winning week, 67 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: another above five week for yours, truly, go ahead, I'll 68 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: take my victory lap. Go ahead, week number eleven, Benny 69 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: versus the penny. You finished seven and six winning record. 70 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: You won more than you lost. Boom done. At the 71 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: prep level, you were oh and one as you took 72 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: Jay Stert and cover they lost fifty six to nothing. Yeah, 73 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: thank you for that. Fund of my one of my dreams. 74 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: You know, I said, I want to be a middle 75 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: aged man and I want to broadcast a fifty six 76 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: to nothing high school football game on a Friday night, 77 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: my night off with makeup, I hope exactly, and a 78 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: clown suit. I I hope that I suffer from memory loss. 79 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: I can block that out. I'd like to have amnesia 80 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: from that all night. But that was what Centennial did. 81 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: They rammed it. They rammed it all day they rammed 82 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: it all night. But anyway, all right, so now I'm 83 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: now allowed? Can I now all right? Miami two and 84 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: eight at Cleveland four and six. It's on Fox. Are 85 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: we playing the Dick Stockton game? Or are we not playing? Yeah? 86 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: I think this is actually a Dick Stockton game too. 87 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: And you again, guest, Gun, you're already wrong. You've ruled 88 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: that you've lost the Dick Stockton game right off the bat. 89 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: It's nut cutting time and you lost. I've been known 90 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: to have a little premature excitement at that time. So 91 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: what the ladies have said? I You're wrong? It's it's 92 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: Chris Myers, my former colleague and part of the Fox 93 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Alumni Association. With Darryl moose Johnston on the call. 94 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: The Browns opened and nine point favorite. The updated line 95 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: here is ten and a half in favor of the 96 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: home team, Cleveland. What's the weather gonna be like in 97 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: Cleveland on Sunday West, not snow wing or anything like. 98 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: That's gonna be sunny, forty one degrees typical weather this 99 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: time of the year, although it usually gets a little 100 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: colder in Cleveland. At First Energy Stadium to pick is 101 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: in and I'm taking the Dolphins to cover the ten 102 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: and a half. Now, my logic behind this number one, 103 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: the Browns should not be favored by double digits against anyone, 104 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: no way. Uh And and this, well, it's not a 105 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: true trap game. It's got some of the makings of 106 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: a trap game. The Browns are coming off a huge 107 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: prime time win, plus they are reeling from that game 108 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett suspension for Thor's hammer toss uh there in 109 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: that game. And they also now the Browns get the 110 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: Steelers again next week, so this Dolphin game is sandwich 111 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: between two Steeler games. And nobody gets up for the 112 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,919 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, and they haven't gotten up for the Dolphins 113 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: since Dan Marino was playing for the Dolphins. And number two. 114 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: Miami did win a couple of games a few weeks back, 115 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: but they lost last week and they are one in 116 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: ten in their last eleven road games. So it's not 117 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: like they're gonna win the game. All the Dolphins have 118 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: to do is compete. Now that's a dangerous proposition because 119 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: we're talking about the Dolphins here, but if they just 120 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: show up, they're gonna cover the number. Ryan Fitzpatrick has 121 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,119 Speaker 1: actually had some success. He's got ninety plus QB rating 122 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: two of his last three starts here, he's he's had 123 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: some some good numbers, uh well compared to what he 124 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: had done earlier. And he has five touchdowns no interceptions 125 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: in three career starts against the Browns. Browns a little 126 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: better than they have been. But Baker Mayfield, Now, Baker 127 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: Mayfield's numbers have gotten a little bit better. But here's 128 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 1: my argument against Cleveland. The Browns played down to everybody. 129 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: I don't see this game being a blowout, even with 130 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: a warm weather team going to Chile Northern Ohio right 131 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: on the lakes. Or I'm taking the Browns to win 132 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:07,919 Speaker 1: but not cover. Browns twenty seven Dolphins twenty depending on 133 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: the opposite way going with the Browns alright. Next up, 134 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: Gascon's Denver Broncos at three and seventies of Bronco Fanboy 135 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: and the Buffalo Bills at seven and three. It's on 136 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: CBS with Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon. They have the 137 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: call now. The Bills opened to five and a half 138 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: point favorite. The line is at four and it's to 139 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: be partly sunny, thirty nine degrees, no lake effects, no 140 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: forecast for New Era Field, although we could see some fog. 141 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: There's a chance of fog early in this particular game. Now, 142 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Broncos here plus the four points 143 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: for here's here's my reason. And first of all, Denver 144 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: has been playing well enough to lose close. They slipped 145 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: on the banana peal last week in Minnesota, that dominating 146 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: first half and they played d to playing zombies the 147 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: rest of the way. The Broncos have led in the 148 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, as Gascon told me before the podcast, in 149 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: seven of the ten games, but the seven of ten 150 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: they have led in the fourth quarter, but they have 151 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: held on the win just three of those. The Broncos 152 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: also are one of three NFL teams this season without 153 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: a comeback win. Congratulations. They joined the ben Gals, who 154 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,559 Speaker 1: haven't won a game, and the Washington Redskins. So that's 155 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: the contemporaries of the Denver Broncos of nineteen. How's Uncle 156 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 1: Vick doing there? The coach of the Broncos. The key 157 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: this week, We said it last week. We gotta cover 158 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: against the Vikings again, Philip Lindsay. Lindsay the running back 159 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: to get that engine going in Upstate New York. Well, 160 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: I liked the Bills defense, the weak link in Buffalo 161 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: has been stopping the run. Buffalo's nineteenth against the run, 162 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: and they have been even worse the last three weeks. 163 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: The Bills are getting gouged. They're allowing four point eight 164 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: yards per carry. So run, Philip, run is the mantra. 165 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: It's gotta be the mantra of the Broncos. Here Lindsay 166 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: has four eight yards from scrimmage hundred and seven per game, 167 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,479 Speaker 1: three rushing touchdowns passed four on the road for the Broncos. 168 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: And since Brandon Allen is the quarterback, is Allen versus 169 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: Allen at the quarterback matchup? And Brandon Allen very limited, 170 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: which is a nice way of saying he stinks, uh quarterbacks. 171 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: They don't anticipate him playing very well in this game. 172 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: So it's all about the running game. And uh ride 173 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: Lindsay around the mountain, around the mountain, they come. All right, 174 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: now a second, you can never trust Josh Allen, the 175 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: Buffalo courtback. While the numbers indicate he has played better, 176 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: certainly recently he's played better. He's had some mistake free games. 177 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: He he has enough red flags to keep me away. 178 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: The wise guys have loaded up on the Broncos. Also, 179 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: I always like to be on the side of the 180 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: wise guys in away from the public. This is the 181 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 1: last cupcake for the Bills before things get cranked up. 182 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: If you look at the Buffalo schedule coming up, they 183 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: play the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, so it's four days after 184 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: this game on Sunday, and then they still have games 185 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: left down the line with the Ravens and the Patriots. 186 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: So expect this to be a sluggish, lack of daisical 187 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: type performance by Buffalo at home, half hearted effort if 188 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: you will, Broncos pull the shocker Denver twenty, Buffalo seventeen. 189 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: Penny also go on that way, go with the Broncos, 190 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: all right? Next up, be sure to catch live editions 191 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: of The Ben Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern 192 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I 193 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 1: Heart Radio app. It is Pittsburgh five and five at Cincinnati, 194 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: oh and ten. It's on CBS. Andrew Catalan and James 195 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: lofton call. Steelers opened a seven point favorite. The line 196 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: we have here now is six and a half. At 197 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: the time we are doing this podcast. The weather partly sunny, 198 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: forty five degrees at kickoff Paul Brown Stadium, the location there, 199 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: the pick is in, I'm gonna take I'm taking the Bengals. 200 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: I'm taking the Bengals here. Uh and and I'll tell 201 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: you why now, Ryan Finley, Ryan Finley there. Who's Brian 202 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: Finley who works with us? The great Brian Finley? Why 203 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: I think our top anchor is Brian Finley. So we 204 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: don't have an employee that is by the name of 205 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: Brian Finley. Just a heads up. He is. He is 206 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: so good. He's a Brian Finley that works here. And 207 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: that's the same the same concept and the same concept 208 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 1: the guys have stud everyone. He's moving off. He's gonna 209 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: replace like Dan Pot someday. He's amazing talent. Anyway, Ryan 210 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: Finley has been displaying Blayton football maupractice since he took 211 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: over for Andy Dalton in Cincinnati. Finley is the NFL's 212 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: lowest ranked quarterback in that stretch's passer rating, his fifty 213 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: two point eight UM. The top passer ready are over 214 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: a hundred. Perfect would be a hundred and fifty three, 215 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: and he's at fifty two uh and more impressively, a 216 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: starting quarterback over the last couple of weeks in the 217 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: NFL is averaging three point three yards per attempt. It's 218 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: member the old thing used to be three yards in 219 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: a cloud of dust when you ran the ball. Well, 220 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: when Ryan Finley throws the ball at three yards and 221 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: a cloud of dust, the stage appears to be too big, 222 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: and much like myself when I first started in radio, 223 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: he's got flop sweat Ryan Ryan Finley. So so then 224 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: you have the defensive excuse. The Bengals have allowed sixty 225 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: five plays of twenty or more yards of this season. 226 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: That's the most in the NFL, and in even close 227 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: because the next closest team is all right as and 228 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: they're at fifty six. The Steelers only have thirty offensive 229 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: plays though of twenty plus yards, fewest. Fifth yewist in 230 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: the NFL is not the worst, but the fifth yew 231 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: wist and now that's it Cincinnati. The reason I liked 232 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 1: the Banks they did over against the Raiders last week 233 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: on the road since despite their oh and ten record, 234 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: there four and six against the spread this season, so 235 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: that they don't have the worst against the spread record 236 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Right in the middle, there's a lot 237 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: of teams that are four and six or five and 238 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: five or six and four right in that area against 239 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: the number and be Pittsburgh. Now, I know they're gonna 240 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: have more fans, just like a Charger situation. Everyone the 241 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,959 Speaker 1: Charges play in l A and have more fans. Pittsburgh 242 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: will have more support here. Steeler Nation travels. It's not 243 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: that far to get down to Cincinnati. But unfortunately those 244 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: people don't play. Mason Rudolph and the Steelers have a 245 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: struggle every week on offense, and for this reason, and 246 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: pretty much this reason alone, they should not be favored 247 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: by almost a touchdown. That is nuts. Divisional games, by 248 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: their nature are typically close, even when boss in home 249 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: dogs providing value. So give me Cincinnati to win this game, 250 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: at least against the number. Behind Joe Mixing and the 251 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: power running game. Steelers a win on the scoreboard, But 252 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: for the gambler, Cincinnati is the right side here. Pittsburgh twenty, 253 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: the Bengals sixteen. The penny picks. The penny is going 254 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: the opposite a way. No chance are going with the 255 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: Bengals in this one. Steelers Baby, be sure to catch 256 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays at two 257 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: am Eastern Pacific. Alright, let's get trivial. Let's get trivia. 258 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: Which quarterback has a seven sixty nine winning percentage as 259 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: a starter when having a passer rating of eighty one 260 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: or better, but is winless when finishing below that particular mark. Again, 261 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: we're looking for the name of a starting quarterback in 262 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: the NFL who has a seven sixty nine career winning 263 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: percentage as a starter when a passer rating of eighty 264 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: one or better, but winless when finishing below that mark. 265 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: The answer coming up next up the New York Giants 266 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: two and a at the Chicago Bears four and six. 267 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: It's on Fox with Tom Brennam and Chris Spielman. So 268 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: you better watch the Bears open to seven point favorite 269 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: Chicago favorite by six and a half. It will be 270 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: sunny forty two degrees at kickoff at Soldier Field with 271 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: Doc Mike and the people of Chicago. I am gonna 272 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: take the Giants in this game. I saw the Bears 273 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: play the Rams last week. I just can't. You can't 274 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: go with Chicago at this point. The first thing he's 275 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: got Mr Rubinsky, who was benched the Bears, afraid to 276 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: admit that for Chase Daniel in the final minutes against 277 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: the Rams. Matt Naggy, though, doesn't have the balls to 278 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: talk about that. Now we are told that Rabinsky is 279 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: going to remain the starter. Health permitting. Wink wink, wink, 280 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: health permitting. In air quotes, Uh, Trubisky has been dogshit. Uh. 281 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: He has been a dog with fleas all season, but 282 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: even worse lately, he's thirtieth. Uh. He's the thirtieth ranked 283 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL last four weeks. What does one 284 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: have to do to lose their job? He's terrible. Not 285 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: only is your quarterback, he sucks. Uh, and he continues 286 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: to go out there. Now. The secondly, the Bears. The 287 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: reason I like the Giants. The Bears have struggled against 288 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: the run since they said bye bye because a Kee 289 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: Knicks got hurt. Todd Gurley, who has been miserable for 290 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: the Rams pretty much all year, he had a breakout 291 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: game against the Chicago defense last week. So connecting the 292 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: dots right, connecting the dots, you would suspect even the hobbles. 293 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: Sequon Barkley, who has had some miserable performances himself, will 294 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: be able to be the wrecking ball through that imperfect 295 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: run defense. He is going to need to be since 296 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: the Giants only real ammunition on defense is the defensive line. 297 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: They got Leonard Williams and they're teaming him up with 298 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence. That's a pretty good one to punch for 299 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: the Giants defensively in the middle. So the Giants the 300 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: only way they're gonna do anything is trying to pounce 301 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: the weak offensive line of the Bears, and that is 302 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: the weak link for Chicago along with Drabinski. These teams 303 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: are way too close right now to have almost a 304 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: touchdown spread that the reason the number is so high 305 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 1: is because of public perception of the Chicago Bears. Uh. 306 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: And also the Bears are a team that plays on 307 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving in four days as well, so you think about 308 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: four days after this game, so you think there'll be 309 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: a distraction. Bears will win, but it will be by 310 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: the skin and their chinny chin chin. Chicago twenty six 311 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: the Giants twenty three. The penny picked. Penny's going with 312 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 1: the Giants to win? Outright, Oh, it went out right, 313 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: like I don't think the penny said that. I think 314 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: now people were asking if you actually flip the penny. 315 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: People think that you're a fraudster and a scamster, and 316 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 1: you don't actually squeeze the penny. I think the penning. 317 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: I think if anyone asked or saw me last week 318 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: on Fox, they would know that I'm not a fraud. Uh. 319 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: I think I would. Uh. I got showered with flowers 320 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: and compliments and desserts and cheese, steak and everything else. Well, 321 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: you strong armed yourself steak a sniveling child having a 322 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: hissy fit. All right, let's get trivial. The answer which 323 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: quarterback Escohn has a seven sixty nine winning percentage as 324 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: a starter, and and that's when he has a passer 325 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: rating of eighty one or better, but his winless in 326 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: his career when finishing below that mark. I'm gonna go 327 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: with Captain Kirk Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins, all right, that's 328 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: that's not a bad answer. Cousins is typically been hot 329 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: and cold, but it's not Kirk Cousins. The answer is 330 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield is ten and three is Cleveland 331 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: starting quarterback When he has a passer in eighty one 332 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: or better. He is oh in ten, He's yet to 333 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 1: win a game when finishing below that number. All right, 334 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: next up, Oakland six and four at the j e 335 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: t s sucks sucks, suck three and seven. It's on CBS. 336 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: Uh and uh listen. I'm gonna take the Raiders here. 337 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 1: I don't know who's doing this game. I'm gonna take 338 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: the Raiders. You don't know who's doing this game. You 339 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: want me to look you want me to to look 340 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: it up here? I didn't. I didn't write it down. 341 00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,479 Speaker 1: I don't know what you want. We can't have an 342 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: entree about utensils. Really, yes, all right, why don't you 343 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: talk for a second. I'm gonna look it up here, 344 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,479 Speaker 1: all right? So we got the We got the Raiders 345 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: at the Jets. Jets three and seventh season, Raiders six 346 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: and four playoff bound. Maybe the one area that you 347 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: gotta look at us what they do on the road 348 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 1: this season, even with Derek Carr and Josh Jacobs, are 349 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: just one and three on the road from the Bay Area. 350 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: And I keep in mind they have had a lot 351 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: of road games early on this season. So after this 352 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: game against the Jets will return to their happy confines 353 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: of the toilet known as the what is it the 354 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: Oakland That's not the Oakland Alimeda Cola seat Some corporate name. Now, no, 355 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: this is actually this is Andrew Catalan. Uh, this is 356 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 1: Andrew Catalan and James Lawton. I had them doing a 357 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: different game, but this is their game. Now the magic 358 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: number in this game. Wait a minute, I gotta correct that. 359 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,719 Speaker 1: Whold on a second, I gotta correct it was an 360 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: injustice here the Pittsburgh Cleveland game, which I thought, Wait 361 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: a minute. Here they are listed the NFL. But this 362 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: is the NFL. Sends me who's doing the games? And 363 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,719 Speaker 1: they have the TV broadcast, the serious broadcas s on 364 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: XM radio, and they have this is a mistake by 365 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: the NFL. They have Andrew Catalan listed with James Lofton 366 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: to do two games that start at the same time. 367 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: How about that. It's pretty awesome. Yeah. Catalan is apparently 368 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: gonna do the Browns Steelers game, and he will also 369 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: be able to broadcast the Jets and Raiders. He's gonna 370 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: clone himself. Well, on today's digital age, we can watch 371 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: one game and watch another, so not might be a 372 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: bad option, right, do it digitally? There you go. All right, 373 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: let's just get to the damn game. You already talked 374 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: about us. I don't need to I don't need to 375 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 1: talk about. You preview the game, you went through all 376 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: that and no, all right, I'm gonna listen light rein 377 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: at kick off? Did you say that? Forty four degrees 378 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: at MetLife Stadium? The Raiders a three point favorite. I'm 379 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: gonna take the Jets. I am gonna take the Jets 380 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: in this game. I'll tell you why. First of all, 381 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: this has all the secret ingredients of a disaster for 382 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: the Raiders. You're talking about in gambling parlance, what do 383 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: you look for? What do you look for? The signal? 384 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: This could go the other way? The the wrong team 385 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 1: is favored, or at least the underdog is a live dog. 386 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: You've got look at all these factors. West coast team 387 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: playing an early game on the East Coast, warm weather 388 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,159 Speaker 1: team in chilly, rainy conditions on the East Coast. You expected, 389 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: You're expected to win this game. This is a peek 390 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: a boo game because on the horizon, if the Jets 391 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: do not win this game, the Raiders win this game. 392 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: Next week is a showdown for the Ages and a 393 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: f C West blood bath with Kansas City for first 394 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: place on the line. But to get to that game, 395 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: you've got to beat the Jets all of Oakland's victories 396 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: this year have been by a single possession. They play 397 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: everyone close, even the Bengals. As we said earlier last week, 398 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 1: the Raiders have generated just twenty feet downs and that 399 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: in that particularly twenty feet downs against the Cincinnati Bengals, 400 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 1: who are oh intent now. On the positive side, John 401 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: Druden got crucified for trading Khalil Mack last year for 402 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: a bunch of draft picks. Not only can the Raiders 403 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,200 Speaker 1: get a top ten pick this year in the draft 404 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: for Khalil Mac, but their defense that had only thirteen 405 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: sacks last season, the Raiders have twenty five this season. 406 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: That is the largest sack increase by any team from 407 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: last year to this year. So they've improved the most. 408 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: Of course they were the bar was pretty low now. Secondly, 409 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and say that the Jets 410 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: have turned the corner. I know that the Hyperboleada New 411 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: York is the Jets still have a path to get 412 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Uh No, they don't. But at least 413 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: the George Washington Bridge is no longer falling down on 414 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: Adam Gaze. Sam Donald has stopped seeing ghosts because he's 415 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: been playing some bad teams. After being held to eight 416 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: team points of last seven of their first eight games, 417 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: the Jets have now scored thirty four points in back 418 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: to back games of coorse to playing the week sisters 419 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,679 Speaker 1: of the NFL the week in the Blind that the 420 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: Jets beat the Cowboys a few weeks back at home. 421 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: This is a value play the Jets. I really, I 422 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: really liked them in this spot. As Dave Roberts was, 423 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: the Raiders have lost their last five games. If you 424 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 1: look at the trend against the Jets, that goes way back. 425 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: Last time the Jets and Raiders game went the way 426 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: of the Raiders at the meadow Lands was back in 427 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: when Rich code Tight was coaching the Jets and the 428 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 1: quarterback matchup with Jeff Hosteddler versus Frank Reich Hosteller for 429 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: the Raiders, right, who's now a coach in Indianapolis, was 430 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: playing for the the Jets at that time. So I'll 431 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: take Gang Green to win the game outright. Jets twenty 432 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: Raiders seventeen Penning to go with one of our loyal 433 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: subscribers to the podcast going with the New York Jets, 434 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: all right, Next up de Gun, Greg Gumbel, Trent Green 435 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: and Melanie Collins on the call Jets and Raiders since 436 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: you did not properly do your homework. But again, I 437 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: can send you the thing the NFL sends me, but 438 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: that does not to have them list. Showing up for 439 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: work is one thing, but given the extra effort as another, 440 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: I do just that for your podcast.

I feel 449 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: like a lot of the food in New Orleans is 450 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: like so exotic. In the buyou, I don't know that 451 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 1: it would be ben friendly, although they do. They do 452 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: deep fry a lot of stuff, which I like. Yeah, 453 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: but can your insides actually hold that down?

I have yet 457 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: to experience that, but I don't understand why I wish 458 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: that would happen, because then I feel like I wouldn't 459 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: gain much weight from eating food all of a sudden. 460 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: Believe it like you want to just be I don't 461 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: want to be believing, but I'm but I'm. What I'm 462 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: saying is like everything I've read is when you have 463 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: your gallbladder taken out like I had, that you you 464 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 1: can't eat certain foods. It goes right through you. Um, 465 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: Mike Harmon, our colleague was telling me that I have 466 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 1: not had that experience. I'm not. And it's been a 467 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks since I had this taken out, and 468 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: I wish I've had the opposite. As I said, I 469 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: can imagine eating anything in the Bayou is probably a 470 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: little heightened sense of intensity to the bowel movement. So 471 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: let's not test that anytime soon. Alright, though, Well they 472 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: go down, you want to do us?

He's the Carolina quarterback. 499 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: Last four weeks, this guy's managed to put up a 500 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,239 Speaker 1: passer rating of sixty point three, second worst in the 501 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 1: entire NFL. Over that stretched shout out Ryan and Finley, 502 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 1: who's dead last. It goes without saying that he's obviously 503 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: gotta find a way to get his confidence back in 504 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: a hostile environment. It's the unforced mistakes that have been 505 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: the backbreaker for Ron Rivera's quarterback here and and be 506 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: Drew Brees and the Saints. Now I get that public 507 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: perception as they should win this game by twenty five 508 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: or thirty points. And I bet against him. Last week 509 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: they covered the spread against Tampa on the road. Um, 510 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: and Carolina is gonna have to play a cleaner game. 511 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: There's a lot of mistakes misques from Carolina. Nevertheless, the Panthers, 512 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: I believe we're kind of looking at it. This was 513 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: supposed to be a big game. Carolina had one last 514 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: week and the Saints had lost which was on the table. 515 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: This would have been a much bigger game in the division. 516 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: And the Panthers did not compete against the Falcons. And 517 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: so if you don't show up to the game before 518 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: the game you're looking at, you better win that game. 519 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: The game that you're peeking a head to look at. 520 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey is going to have to also have the 521 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: game of his life against the pretty good Saints defense. 522 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen make some quicker decisions. You don't normally get 523 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: blown out back to back to back games, uh in 524 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 1: the division. So if you're trying Carolina and you want 525 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: to compete here, any time you get over seven points 526 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: in a divisional game, what do I always say? You 527 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,679 Speaker 1: don't ask questions. You take those points. You put a 528 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: smile on your face. So the Saints will win, but 529 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 1: they won't cover almost double digits. New Orleans thirty, Carolina 530 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: twenty threepenny. Go with the Bayou and go with the 531 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints, all right, Next up Tampa bay three 532 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: and seven at Atlanta three and seven. And this should 533 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: have been your pick for the Dick Stockton game, because 534 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: this is the Dick Stockton game with Mark schlay Riff. 535 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: They have the call here from Georgia now the Falcons 536 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: open to three point favorite. Atlanta is favored by four 537 00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: the sunny fifty three degrees at kickoff outside the Mercedes 538 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: Bands Stadium in Atlanta. I'm gonna take Tampa in this game. Now. 539 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: I know Jamis Winston is hobbled with an ankle problem. 540 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: He has expected to play. That's not you know, that's 541 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: not going to derail the Buccaneers. The problem is he 542 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: has not been the fastest ship in the fleet. As 543 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 1: they say. Winston is leading the world in negative plays 544 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,719 Speaker 1: for a quarterback. He's boom or bust. There's a lot 545 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: of touchdowns, throws a lot of interceptions. The Bucks quarterback 546 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: leads the NFL not only in interceptions with a team, 547 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: but also in sacks. Has been sacked thirty six times. 548 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if he gets a bonus for negligence, 549 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: but if he did, he would certainly cash. And it 550 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: is craziness. Now, Bruce arians was brought in as the 551 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: quarterback whisperer, and how is that working at Winston has 552 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: actually done well though against the Falcons. That's something I'm 553 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: gonna hang my microphone on here. Last five games in 554 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: the vision against the guys from jar you Jamis Winston 555 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: has had three or more touchdown passes and he passer 556 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: rating of a hundred and ten plus. So he's got 557 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: some confidence when he sees that falcon helmet. Uh and 558 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 1: hopefully that spills in for me this week and too, 559 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: I get that something has clicked in Atlanta. The last 560 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: two weeks. They have looked like a legit team. They 561 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: were a dumpster fire the first part of the NFL season, 562 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: but they took the Saints and Panthers down. They slayed 563 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: the Giant Saints a couple of weeks ago, and they 564 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: followed that up within another road win. Now they have 565 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: to figure out how to win a game at home 566 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: in the Dome in Atlanta in Division it has it 567 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: has been a happy place for Atlanta. I think they've 568 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: won fifteen of their last nineteen games against NFC South opponents, 569 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan has the perfect opponent to keep the 570 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: good karma growing and going up and all that. Tampa 571 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: Bay is the NFL's thirty first ranked past defense. The 572 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 1: last three weeks, they've allowed over three yards per game passing, 573 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: just passing, forget the running game. Despite all that, uh, 574 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 1: I I don't fully trust that this balloon is not 575 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: going to burst on the Falcons here. They also play 576 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: the Saints on Thanksgiving in four days. I look at 577 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 1: that matchup, I say, well, that's a layer of distraction. 578 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: This line feels too high Atlanta while they are playing better, 579 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: should they really be a four point for their three 580 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: and seven? These teams are both three and seven Bucks 581 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: twenty seven Falcons twenty six Tampa with the road wind. 582 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: Awful pick, Penny going with Atlanta Falcons and not at all, 583 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: it's a great pick. It's a wonderful pick. Yeah. I 584 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: think we just did Detroit. You and I, oh the 585 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 1: cheese streak cheese. We could we could up the Anny 586 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: if you want um. Detroit three, six and one at 587 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: Washington one and nine. I heard that on Fox with 588 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: Kenny Albert and ron Da Barbera. The hardest working man 589 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: in sports television. Kenny Albert amazing, he was in. I 590 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 1: watched him do a Knicks sixers game this week in Philly, 591 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: and then, uh, you know the whole thing. Anyway, I 592 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 1: don't get any credit for the hard work that I 593 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: put in. Yeah, well, yeah, show up late here. I 594 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 1: don't showed up late here, showed us at start until 595 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: eleven PM. I don't know what you're talking about. We're 596 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: recording this at Friday morning, unless we're not, unless we're 597 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: not so all right, Washington Detroit. This is the game. 598 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: We mentioned this on the radio show this week that 599 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: you can get a ticket for four dollars for the 600 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: price of a cup of coffee, like two cups of coffee. 601 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: You can get a ticket in a land over Maryland 602 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: to watch this game. Uh and the Lions open to 603 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: one and app point favorite their favorite by three and 604 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: a half. It'll be sunny forty nine degrees that kick 605 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 1: off at FedEx Field the stadium. Dan Snyder ruined the 606 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 1: pick is in. I am gonna take the Redskins in 607 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: this game, and I'll tell you why. This is the 608 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: ultimate test for the Lions past defense. They have been 609 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: under siege. Detroit is thirtie against the past. So the test, 610 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: the real asset test, is can be incompetent. Incompetent Dwayne 611 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 1: hask find salvation against the Lions defense. The Motor City 612 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: kiddies here, how bad has Haskins been. He is averaging 613 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: four point one yards per attempt. Haskins has yet to 614 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: take a snap when the Redskins have had the lead 615 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: in this game. I believe that is about to change. 616 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 1: And secondly, the other reason to not like the Lions 617 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: here is the public is loading up on Detroit. People 618 00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: are dumb. Jeff Driscoll is a road favorite by over 619 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: a field goal. Jeff Driscoll. Detroit's defense, as we said Incompetent, 620 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: the casual better though, is loading up on the lines. 621 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: This game will be as about about enjoyable as a 622 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: time David Gascon had hemorrhoids. Uh is going to be 623 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,600 Speaker 1: at gan icing it'll be unwatchable. Why didn't you know 624 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: I had that? Nevertheless, when two bad teams play and 625 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 1: you have a home team who's a dog, you take 626 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: the dog, our our our hell to the red Skins, 627 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: hell to vic Dory. Washington gets their second win of 628 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: the year. Redskins seventeen, Lions thirteen one. In doubt, Penny 629 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: is going with the home team, going with the dead Skins. 630 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 631 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: the nation.

Russell Wilson has twenty eight game winning drives 636 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter and overtime. He had another one 637 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: against the forty Niners recently, one more than Matthew Stafford. 638 00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: And I just gave away the answer.

I was looking at how 662 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: the public looks at these things. They seem to think 663 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: that the wrong team is favorite. Right, The Seahawks are 664 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 1: the choice of the people. Popular people's pick is Seattle. 665 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: They are a massive public underdog. Seattle did beat the 666 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,959 Speaker 1: forty Niners that throwback come back Monday night football game, 667 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: but they have also struggled. Look at Seattle's resume. They 668 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 1: are over raid and they have struggled to win games 669 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: against the Bengals and Buccaneers. Should have lost to the 670 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,400 Speaker 1: Rams at home. A missed field goal at the Buzzer 671 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: did them in. They have only one blowout win, that 672 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 1: was back in Week four against the Oopa Loopa Alligator Arms, 673 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: Murray and Arizona. So other than that, it's been a 674 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: white knuckle ride for Seattle. Why is that gonna chance here? 675 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,799 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson I understand he's gonna have to hold off 676 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,840 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. The m v P race's last nine starts 677 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: on the road, Russell Wilson's got nineteen touchdowns and an interception, 678 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: so I expect him to play well. But the key 679 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: here for the Eagles, and as at the time we're 680 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: doing this, we don't have all the injury reports and 681 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 1: all that, but but they have to find their offense. 682 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 1: And the defense has been good enough here. The Eagles 683 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,800 Speaker 1: had the NFL's number one past defense over the last 684 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 1: three weeks. The issue is Carson Wentz, who fell apart 685 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: when Lane Johnson left that game against the Patriots with 686 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: a concussion. We believe he'll be back. The Philly receivers 687 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: are also the freemasons of football, hands of stone. Uh. 688 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,120 Speaker 1: And we had the big scandal we talked about on 689 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: the radio this week, Nelson Agilar and his burner burner 690 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 1: account apparently got caught red handed. Uh. But if you 691 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,800 Speaker 1: depend on those with you, you're gonna end up in 692 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: a body bag to catch pass. But I like Philadelphia. Nonetheless, 693 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,399 Speaker 1: the Seahawks, coming off of by an emotional key divisional game, 694 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:13,160 Speaker 1: West Coast team goes East Chili conditions. Although Seattle is 695 00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: not the warmest city, Seattle is not as good as 696 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: their record. Eagles Fly, Eagles Fly on the road to 697 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: vic Dory Eagles thirty three, Seahawks twenty seven. How's my singing? 698 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,279 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's as bad as you're saying 699 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: that this is a divisional game. Penny has gone with 700 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 1: the Eagles as well. I didn't say you did. You 701 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: can go back to the podcast. Why would I say 702 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: this is a division Sometimes you miss speak. What do 703 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: you want for me? I'm just paying attention to you. Yeah, okay, Well, 704 00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna send you know what to do. I'm gonna 705 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,240 Speaker 1: send you to broadcasting school so you can learn the nuance. 706 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: You never correct your on air partner. Never, Well, you 707 00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: just did. You've done it twice. You've done it now twice. 708 00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 1: This is not a safe space for you. What do 709 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: you do? Doche alright, I'm Middle America. But you can 710 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 1: understand and check people. I agree with him, Alamlsia, you sucked. 711 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:12,920 Speaker 1: I agree with him. You're terrible. Alright. Uh. Last last 712 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: part of the schedules the late television windows. So we'll 713 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,879 Speaker 1: get to that right now. Jacksonville only couple of eight games, 714 00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 1: Jacksonville four and six at Tennessee five and five. It's 715 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: on CBS. I an Eagle, the dad of the Clipper broadcaster, 716 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: and Dan Fouts have the call. Now the Titans open 717 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,960 Speaker 1: to two and a half point favorite. They are favored 718 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: by three on the home field. It will be sunny 719 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: forty nine degrees that kick off at Nissan Stadium, the 720 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: house that Clay Travis pays for in Nashville. Now, I'm 721 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: gonna take the Titans in this game. I actually like 722 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 1: the Titans a lot in this game. It's one of 723 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 1: my stronger plays as well. I like Tennessee. And I'll 724 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,800 Speaker 1: tell you why. Nick Foles, he I know, he know, 725 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: ever has to worry about buying a meal in Philadelphia. 726 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: The problem is he don't play in Philadelphi anymore. He's 727 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,240 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Folls returned last week and was shell lacked 728 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,879 Speaker 1: in the game last week. The numbers were not as 729 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: bad as the eyeball test. He helped himself in garbage time. 730 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: The stark truth is that Nick Foles has been a 731 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:13,360 Speaker 1: lightweight outside of that out of body experience during the 732 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: playoff run with Philadelphia. You add to the fact that 733 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 1: the Jags defense has fallen into poverty, and it's not 734 00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 1: going to be a pretty afternoon, a late afternoon in 735 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: Nashville for Jacksonville. And and to Ryan Tannehill, while he's 736 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:31,839 Speaker 1: not the long term answer, he is the short term 737 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 1: answer in the micro. He's the guy better than Marcus Mariota. 738 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 1: In fact, since week six, Ryan Tannehill is third in 739 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 1: the entire NFL and completion percentage completing over his passes. 740 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: Only Drew Brees and Kirk Cousins have been better in 741 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: that stretch. But this week is not about Tannehill. The 742 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: Jags have been the NFL's second best past defense the 743 00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,520 Speaker 1: last three weeks. This game is about Derek f and 744 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: Henry al Right, the running back in in Tennessee. Uh yeah, 745 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: hit your wagon to Henry and let him play the 746 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 1: role of the wrecking ball in this game. He should dominate. 747 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:19,879 Speaker 1: Jacksonville is dead last. They are the Omega of run defenses. 748 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,399 Speaker 1: In fact, the last three weeks, Jacksonville is allowing over 749 00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,399 Speaker 1: six yards per carry. The Colts had I believe, two 750 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,360 Speaker 1: different running backs who were at a hundred yards or 751 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: close to it last week. So I am writing the 752 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 1: flame heads betting against Nick Foles Tennessee. They're only a 753 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,240 Speaker 1: three point favorite. They'll win this game by double digits. 754 00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 1: Titans thirty, jag seventeen the Titans as well. Do you 755 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: want to bet on that game? You want to take 756 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: a wagering that to win this game, Jacksonville, because you 757 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,440 Speaker 1: want to be we should go a game. We just 758 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: we have dissension on al right. Next up that we 759 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: gotta hurry with you look the clock, yeah, because I 760 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 1: gotta work, and I you know I'm gonna work. But 761 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 1: you showed up forty minutes late, so I want you 762 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: to know you would have been done forty minutes ago. 763 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 1: Al right. Next up Dallas six and four at New 764 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 1: England nine and one. It's on Fox with Joe Buck 765 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 1: and Troy Aikman. This is a massive game most of 766 00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 1: the United there's only two late games, so pretty much 767 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,760 Speaker 1: everybody's getting Cowboys and Patriots. They're expecting a massive rating. 768 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,839 Speaker 1: Patriots open to seven point favorite. They're favorite by six 769 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: and a half. It's cloudy forty three degrees that kick 770 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:34,240 Speaker 1: off at Gillette Stadium. In this game, I'm a glutton 771 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,200 Speaker 1: for punishment. I'm gonna take the Dallas Cowboys here. Uh 772 00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you why the Patriots first of all, 773 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:44,280 Speaker 1: are are again going to have to ride their defense 774 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,799 Speaker 1: to slow down Dallas. New England's offensive second rate now, 775 00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,480 Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu, how do you do is out? Uh, there's 776 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: no separation, no separation from the receivers to the defensive backs. 777 00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,719 Speaker 1: And as a result, Tom Brady is twenty nine and 778 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 1: arts per attempt. Over the last four weeks, Brady is 779 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: averaging just five point three yards per attempt. The bad 780 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 1: news Bears is the Patriot offense. Now, despite that, New 781 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,720 Speaker 1: England owns an average home margin of victory of twenty 782 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,719 Speaker 1: point three points, beating up on the Jets and the 783 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,760 Speaker 1: other terrible teams in that division. That is a positive 784 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 1: sign for the Patriots. And this is their first game 785 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 1: at Gillette since October seven. They've been on the road 786 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: of late. But the second thing, for some reason, Dak 787 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 1: Prescott has been rolling along. He's trying to lose the 788 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,440 Speaker 1: moniker ding dunk Dak dancin dunke Dyak. He's trying to 789 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: lose that moniker in Dallas. He has feasted on some 790 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: bad pass defenses. Uh. And and I don't obviously the 791 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 1: Patriots don't have a bad past defense here, I figure 792 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 1: the Cowboys should be able to slow down Zeke Elliott. 793 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,319 Speaker 1: And and here's the thing. Dak Prescott's got a four 794 00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:00,040 Speaker 1: game stretch of three seventy five plus passing yards in 795 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 1: two plus passing touchdowns. That's tight for the second most 796 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 1: in a single NFL season in history. And now Prescott, 797 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: though he goes from the junior varsity to the varsity, 798 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: in terms of competition, you would assume the position that 799 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:17,800 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick has a strategic advantage against Jason Garrett. I 800 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,719 Speaker 1: think that goes without saying if it comes down to 801 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,400 Speaker 1: X and os in the fourth quarter. But the Patriots 802 00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,279 Speaker 1: right now are a two dimensional team. They're not a 803 00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,240 Speaker 1: three dimensional team. Their defense and special teams. Tom Brady 804 00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,000 Speaker 1: is playing like an old guy. He's got no weapons. 805 00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:35,239 Speaker 1: So I just can't lay a touchdown. And I don't 806 00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,440 Speaker 1: like Dallas is terrible. I don't think they're horrible. So 807 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,880 Speaker 1: I will take the points. Patriots twenty four, Cowboys twenty one. 808 00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: Penny going with the home team, Going with the Patriots 809 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,359 Speaker 1: all right? Next up Sunday Night Football, Green Bay eight 810 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,160 Speaker 1: and two at Santa Clara nine and one. Now, should 811 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: I should I watch this game? Should I? Stay home 812 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 1: and watch this game? Or should I go to watch 813 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: an NBA game? And then why this on my laptop depends? 814 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 1: Will you be getting any kind of inflammatory pictures on 815 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:11,160 Speaker 1: your laptop? Oh? Probably not? Probably not? Then yeah, you should? 816 00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,359 Speaker 1: You should stay home? Then I should stay home? All right, 817 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,600 Speaker 1: I'll stay home. Then, uh, it's on NBC. Al Michaels 818 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 1: and Chris Collinsworth your knucklehead forty Niners inside jokes gascon 819 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: forty Niners opened a three point favorite. The line has 820 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,320 Speaker 1: stayed the same. It will be fifty nine and clear 821 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: at kickoff at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. I'm gonna 822 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 1: take the Niners in this game. I don't trust the Packers. 823 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:37,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers still holds a grudge, I know, against the 824 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,880 Speaker 1: Niners for not drafting him back in the day. Now 825 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,919 Speaker 1: he has a chance at more vengeance here. Rogers has 826 00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,680 Speaker 1: been the hope Diamond, right, he has been the hope 827 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 1: Diamond in these primetime games. Rogers has eighteen touchdowns versus 828 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 1: one interception in his last seven Sunday Night games. So 829 00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,880 Speaker 1: not only does Chris Collinsworth get aroused and Al Michaels 830 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,279 Speaker 1: when they see Aaron, which Apparently it works both ways. 831 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,839 Speaker 1: Apparently it works both ways. Packers are arrested. They're coming 832 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,080 Speaker 1: off the bye week. That said, I don't trust as 833 00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,080 Speaker 1: I said the Packers here. They got molly wopped by 834 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 1: the Chargers the last time they went west on their 835 00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:18,239 Speaker 1: stage coach to southern California. Secondly, the forty Niners, they 836 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:23,520 Speaker 1: are getting some reinformers, reinforcements back. Now. The key thing 837 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,600 Speaker 1: at the time we're recording the podcast, we don't know 838 00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,720 Speaker 1: whether or not George Kittle is going to play, although 839 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:30,720 Speaker 1: it seems like he's tracking that way. Kittle is about 840 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,880 Speaker 1: of the Niners offense. If he plays, I love the 841 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,720 Speaker 1: forty Niners. If he doesn't play, I still like the Niners. 842 00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:40,880 Speaker 1: I don't love them. This is a chance for the 843 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 1: forty Niners to get some cashet back in NFL circles 844 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,839 Speaker 1: after they lost to the Seahawks a couple of weeks ago. 845 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,319 Speaker 1: They had to come back to beat the Cardinals last week. 846 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: I expect Jimmy g to play well. Love Nick bo 847 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 1: said the forty Niners defense to clog things up for 848 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:59,800 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. He is the better quarterback, but the Niners 849 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 1: are the better team in this matchup from top to bottom. 850 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 1: Plus the public is loading up on the cheeseheads as 851 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,920 Speaker 1: an underdog here, I like betting against the dumb dumbs 852 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:20,200 Speaker 1: forty Niners, thirty three Packers. Penny gone, go Pat go Alright, 853 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,760 Speaker 1: last game game, excited about this last week. We should 854 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,359 Speaker 1: take about twenty minutes to break your This last game 855 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,480 Speaker 1: is fitting for you because your team is awful right now. Offensively, 856 00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 1: that's all right, they're great defensively, So you look at 857 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 1: your negative. I'm a positive guy. Look at the positive. 858 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,360 Speaker 1: You look at the negative now. Monday Night Football Baltimore 859 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,040 Speaker 1: eight and two, The L A r i AM six 860 00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:44,319 Speaker 1: and four, and David Gascon's Hero Joe Testa Tour has 861 00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 1: the Call on ESPN with Booger McFarlan from the Los 862 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:52,640 Speaker 1: Angeles Colosseum in Los Los Angeles. Memorial comes. What do 863 00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:58,640 Speaker 1: we memorializing now? The death of the Rams offense. It's 864 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,279 Speaker 1: a clear and sixty six degrees that kick off The 865 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 1: Ravens opened a pick him. This game was a pick 866 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,320 Speaker 1: in Baltimore is now three and a half point road favorite. 867 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? You gotta take the Rams in 868 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 1: this game. That's the right side from pillar to post. 869 00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is the talk of the NFL. This guy 870 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,640 Speaker 1: is skyrocketed up the charts because of his play on 871 00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 1: the field and that the media there they can't say 872 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,319 Speaker 1: enough nice things and throw all kinds of accolades and 873 00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 1: platitudes at Lamar Jackson. And he has had some goose 874 00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:34,400 Speaker 1: bump causing breathtaking plays. At times he has been a 875 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,400 Speaker 1: show stopper. He's also a ticking time bomb. Lamar is 876 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,799 Speaker 1: exposed to injury more than any other quarterback in the 877 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,680 Speaker 1: NFL because of all the running that he does. He's 878 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,759 Speaker 1: also got a bullseye on his back and he's going 879 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:52,280 Speaker 1: against a hungry, hungry old Aaron Donald and the Rams defense. 880 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 1: They have the kind of defense that can send Lamar 881 00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:59,160 Speaker 1: Jackson to the injury tent. And also under John Harbaugh, 882 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:03,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens as road favorites, only have a three ninety 883 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:07,239 Speaker 1: five winning percentage in this kind of a spot. Over 884 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 1: the years be the Rams. They have gone from the 885 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,960 Speaker 1: greatest show on grass, which is what they were last year. 886 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,120 Speaker 1: The last couple of years, the Rams now have to 887 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,520 Speaker 1: win grinded out games. They have They have no muscle 888 00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:23,880 Speaker 1: on offense. Jared Golf has been a dog's lunch. Todd 889 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,800 Speaker 1: Gurley's unreliable. The hope is that Brandon Cooks and Robert 890 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,759 Speaker 1: Woods coming back as receivers will inspire the spark of 891 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,880 Speaker 1: life here. But l a strength has been defensively. It 892 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 1: has been against the run. How do you beat Baltimore? 893 00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,120 Speaker 1: You gotta slow down the running game. Forced Lamar Jackson 894 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:43,720 Speaker 1: the beat you with the arm if he does find 895 00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:47,520 Speaker 1: The Ravens lead the NFL and rushing yards. They're the 896 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,520 Speaker 1: first team since the seventies to have two thousand plus 897 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,879 Speaker 1: rushing yards the first ten games. Marcus Peters I saw 898 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:55,439 Speaker 1: his quote this week. He said he has no bad 899 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:59,839 Speaker 1: blood against the Rams. He's very well in Baltimore. He's 900 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 1: he's had more big plays. Uh in Baltimore. They need 901 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,680 Speaker 1: his entire time with the Rams. Uh. He's a boomer 902 00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,279 Speaker 1: Bus defensive back. He's as just as likely to pick 903 00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 1: off Jared Golf a couple of times as he is 904 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,600 Speaker 1: to get burned a couple of times. Uh in this game. 905 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 1: But the Rams defense has been playing great the last 906 00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,880 Speaker 1: four weeks in one of the top defenses in the 907 00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 1: National Football League statistically, and the Ravens. You look at 908 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,160 Speaker 1: this going from East to West. I think they're gonna 909 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,759 Speaker 1: be spending their their brief time in l A on 910 00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,879 Speaker 1: rodeo drive in the Hollywood Hills and going over all 911 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:37,399 Speaker 1: over the hotspots in southern California. There and the Rams 912 00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:43,080 Speaker 1: a good team Home Dog Baltimore is overdue for some 913 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:48,440 Speaker 1: regression to the mean Rams seven Ravens in a thriller. 914 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,800 Speaker 1: You can't really ram it all day and ram it 915 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 1: all night. And the final pick of the Petty Petty 916 00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:01,440 Speaker 1: also going that way with the Los Angeles Penny in agreement. 917 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,560 Speaker 1: All right, that'll put the bow, put the baby to bed, 918 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,600 Speaker 1: as they say here, put the bowl on the package. 919 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:10,280 Speaker 1: As the Benny Versus the Penny for week number twelve 920 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,719 Speaker 1: is in the books.
