WEBVTT - Benny vs The Penny, Round 12 0:00:01.280 --> 0:00:09.600 Welcome players, You're welcome. Are It's time now Benny versus 0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:14.080 the Penny. Then it is Benny versus Penny for Week 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:17.319 twelve in the NFL. As we are back at it 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:20.239 on the fifth Hour with Ben Maller and the voice 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:24.760 of the Penny, the Really Angry David Guest. I'm really 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:26.560 angry about something I don't know. You complain it about 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:28.480 because you're always upset with something I don't know. I'm 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:31.560 cut into the weather. Just finished an exciting game of 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:36.640 cal State Northridge basketball against Portland Women's basketball, women's basket. 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:38.640 You sexist all of a sudden. I just want to 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.960 point that out because you you hoodwinked me last week 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:46.440 with a ce Sun game versus Virginia, and I was like, wow, 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:48.760 Virginia won the Final Four a couple of years ago, 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:52.000 and now now here they are in ce Sun in 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:55.600 their little gymnasium. And then it turned out, No, that 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:59.000 was false, false news, fake news, gascon, they call you. 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.560 There was nothing I said that was inaccurate. There's nothing 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.840 you said that was inaccurate. It did play in the 0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.119 Final Four a couple of years ago. Uh, they did 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:09.080 play at the Matadome on the campus of cal State Northridge. 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.720 So nothing in there was false. You led to believe 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.240 that it was a men's game. That's your dumb asphalts, 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:18.520 along with your fake voice of reason, Eddie Garcia. You 0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:20.039 guys are trying to trash me on the air on 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:23.640 a national show. It's embarrassing. But whatever. Well, you know 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:27.120 there's a term for that. It's lying by omission. In 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.840 the court system. They call that lying by omission. So 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.679 you are guilty. That is your mistake, a lie of omission. 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:39.679 You deliberately withheld very important details that would have changed 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:43.040 the story. So you hung yourself with your own rope. 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.600 How about that? No, I again look it up. Lie 0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.320 of omission. It's a legal term. As you know. I've 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.720 practiced law behind microphones for many, many years, and uh, 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.960 I think I have met the standard of the burden 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:01.040 of proof. I've proven that you are a dirty doll. No, 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.920 that's not true, because you would need uh without a 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.280 shadow of a doubt. You'd have to have beyond a 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.720 reasonable doubt. Since we're in in a court a lot 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:14.320 this was a civil suit, would be evidence. I understand that. 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.960 Thank you very much for touching up my work here, 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.680 But I the discovery phase was fascinating. When I looked 0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.920 into you here, it was a fascinating thing. Must you 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.520 have been during your show to actually look up what 0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:29.280 game I did and verify if I actually did see 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:32.040 Sun and Virginia? Well, listen, I don't do small talk. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.440 I tried to do small talk with Eddie. I thought, well, 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.919 this will be pretty impressive. I'll talk about this season, Virginia. 0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.000 I was very proud of your little school ce Sun there. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.680 I was gonna celebrate season, and then you made me 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:48.640 look like a donkey, So thank you appreciate that. Can 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:50.280 we get to the damn games? Now? Can we get 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.040 to the games? All right? We will not talk about 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.080 alligator arms. Murray the Umpa Lupa has the week off. 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.880 Good for him and the Chiefs. They're not playing, the Charge, 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.600 the teams that played in Mexico, they're off. The Minnesota Vikings, 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.720 the Bootleg King Kirk Cousins and the Vikings also not playing. 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.560 So those four teams have the week off. Remember next 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:14.440 week is Thanksgiving, so we will have a full monty 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:19.119 of NFL game starting on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day next week. 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.200 But let's get into We'll start with the early television. 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.560 We have to go back. We can't go forward if 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.560 we if we can't go back. Oh, now, all of 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.880 a sudden, you want to you want to go back here. Okay, 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.560 let's go back. Let's let's go back. I thought you 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.880 didn't do your homework there. Let's go back and look 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:38.120 at the week that was in the NFL. Another winning week, 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:42.280 another above five week for yours, truly, go ahead, I'll 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.520 take my victory lap. Go ahead, week number eleven, Benny 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:48.800 versus the penny. You finished seven and six winning record. 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.160 You won more than you lost. Boom done. At the 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.160 prep level, you were oh and one as you took 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.640 Jay Stert and cover they lost fifty six to nothing. Yeah, 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.120 thank you for that. Fund of my one of my dreams. 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.120 You know, I said, I want to be a middle 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:03.880 aged man and I want to broadcast a fifty six 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:05.960 to nothing high school football game on a Friday night, 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:10.400 my night off with makeup, I hope exactly, and a 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.840 clown suit. I I hope that I suffer from memory loss. 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.400 I can block that out. I'd like to have amnesia 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:21.080 from that all night. But that was what Centennial did. 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.560 They rammed it. They rammed it all day they rammed 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.480 it all night. But anyway, all right, so now I'm 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:29.800 now allowed? Can I now all right? Miami two and 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.680 eight at Cleveland four and six. It's on Fox. Are 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.360 we playing the Dick Stockton game? Or are we not playing? Yeah? 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.839 I think this is actually a Dick Stockton game too. 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.479 And you again, guest, Gun, you're already wrong. You've ruled 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.200 that you've lost the Dick Stockton game right off the bat. 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.560 It's nut cutting time and you lost. I've been known 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.400 to have a little premature excitement at that time. So 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.560 what the ladies have said? I You're wrong? It's it's 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.800 Chris Myers, my former colleague and part of the Fox 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:59.760 Sports Radio Alumni Association. With Darryl moose Johnston on the call. 0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:02.960 The Browns opened and nine point favorite. The updated line 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.240 here is ten and a half in favor of the 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.200 home team, Cleveland. What's the weather gonna be like in 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.159 Cleveland on Sunday West, not snow wing or anything like. 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.680 That's gonna be sunny, forty one degrees typical weather this 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.560 time of the year, although it usually gets a little 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.760 colder in Cleveland. At First Energy Stadium to pick is 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.920 in and I'm taking the Dolphins to cover the ten 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:24.719 and a half. Now, my logic behind this number one, 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.880 the Browns should not be favored by double digits against anyone, 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.839 no way. Uh And and this, well, it's not a 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.960 true trap game. It's got some of the makings of 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.800 a trap game. The Browns are coming off a huge 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:43.080 prime time win, plus they are reeling from that game 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:48.039 Miles Garrett suspension for Thor's hammer toss uh there in 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.039 that game. And they also now the Browns get the 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:55.440 Steelers again next week, so this Dolphin game is sandwich 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:59.400 between two Steeler games. And nobody gets up for the 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.919 Miami Dolphins, and they haven't gotten up for the Dolphins 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.840 since Dan Marino was playing for the Dolphins. And number two. 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.360 Miami did win a couple of games a few weeks back, 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.520 but they lost last week and they are one in 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:13.760 ten in their last eleven road games. So it's not 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.839 like they're gonna win the game. All the Dolphins have 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:20.080 to do is compete. Now that's a dangerous proposition because 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.040 we're talking about the Dolphins here, but if they just 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.520 show up, they're gonna cover the number. Ryan Fitzpatrick has 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:28.119 actually had some success. He's got ninety plus QB rating 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.240 two of his last three starts here, he's he's had 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.440 some some good numbers, uh well compared to what he 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:36.560 had done earlier. And he has five touchdowns no interceptions 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.520 in three career starts against the Browns. Browns a little 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:43.240 better than they have been. But Baker Mayfield, Now, Baker 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:47.200 Mayfield's numbers have gotten a little bit better. But here's 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:51.360 my argument against Cleveland. The Browns played down to everybody. 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:55.120 I don't see this game being a blowout, even with 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.360 a warm weather team going to Chile Northern Ohio right 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.680 on the lakes. Or I'm taking the Browns to win 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:07.919 but not cover. Browns twenty seven Dolphins twenty depending on 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.600 the opposite way going with the Browns alright. Next up, 0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:14.240 Gascon's Denver Broncos at three and seventies of Bronco Fanboy 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.640 and the Buffalo Bills at seven and three. It's on 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:22.480 CBS with Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon. They have the 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.000 call now. The Bills opened to five and a half 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:29.800 point favorite. The line is at four and it's to 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.880 be partly sunny, thirty nine degrees, no lake effects, no 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:41.240 forecast for New Era Field, although we could see some fog. 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.960 There's a chance of fog early in this particular game. Now, 0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.560 I'm gonna take the Broncos here plus the four points 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:49.960 for here's here's my reason. And first of all, Denver 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:55.280 has been playing well enough to lose close. They slipped 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.800 on the banana peal last week in Minnesota, that dominating 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:01.680 first half and they played d to playing zombies the 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:03.720 rest of the way. The Broncos have led in the 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.680 fourth quarter, as Gascon told me before the podcast, in 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.480 seven of the ten games, but the seven of ten 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:12.320 they have led in the fourth quarter, but they have 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.680 held on the win just three of those. The Broncos 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:19.040 also are one of three NFL teams this season without 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.760 a comeback win. Congratulations. They joined the ben Gals, who 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.559 haven't won a game, and the Washington Redskins. So that's 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:30.120 the contemporaries of the Denver Broncos of nineteen. How's Uncle 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.680 Vick doing there? The coach of the Broncos. The key 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.840 this week, We said it last week. We gotta cover 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:40.200 against the Vikings again, Philip Lindsay. Lindsay the running back 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.880 to get that engine going in Upstate New York. Well, 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.600 I liked the Bills defense, the weak link in Buffalo 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:51.000 has been stopping the run. Buffalo's nineteenth against the run, 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.000 and they have been even worse the last three weeks. 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.360 The Bills are getting gouged. They're allowing four point eight 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:01.280 yards per carry. So run, Philip, run is the mantra. 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.560 It's gotta be the mantra of the Broncos. Here Lindsay 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:07.719 has four eight yards from scrimmage hundred and seven per game, 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:12.479 three rushing touchdowns passed four on the road for the Broncos. 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.319 And since Brandon Allen is the quarterback, is Allen versus 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.800 Allen at the quarterback matchup? And Brandon Allen very limited, 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:24.000 which is a nice way of saying he stinks, uh quarterbacks. 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.120 They don't anticipate him playing very well in this game. 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.320 So it's all about the running game. And uh ride 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.480 Lindsay around the mountain, around the mountain, they come. All right, 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:38.960 now a second, you can never trust Josh Allen, the 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.800 Buffalo courtback. While the numbers indicate he has played better, 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.120 certainly recently he's played better. He's had some mistake free games. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.360 He he has enough red flags to keep me away. 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:52.400 The wise guys have loaded up on the Broncos. Also, 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:53.960 I always like to be on the side of the 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.480 wise guys in away from the public. This is the 0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:00.959 last cupcake for the Bills before things get cranked up. 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.600 If you look at the Buffalo schedule coming up, they 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.520 play the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, so it's four days after 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.720 this game on Sunday, and then they still have games 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.800 left down the line with the Ravens and the Patriots. 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:17.120 So expect this to be a sluggish, lack of daisical 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:21.200 type performance by Buffalo at home, half hearted effort if 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:26.880 you will, Broncos pull the shocker Denver twenty, Buffalo seventeen. 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.520 Penny also go on that way, go with the Broncos, 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.840 all right? Next up, be sure to catch live editions 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:37.440 of The Ben Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:41.080 eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:46.199 Heart Radio app. It is Pittsburgh five and five at Cincinnati, 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.920 oh and ten. It's on CBS. Andrew Catalan and James 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.280 lofton call. Steelers opened a seven point favorite. The line 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:55.360 we have here now is six and a half. At 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:59.960 the time we are doing this podcast. The weather partly sunny, 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:06.199 forty five degrees at kickoff Paul Brown Stadium, the location there, 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.800 the pick is in, I'm gonna take I'm taking the Bengals. 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.839 I'm taking the Bengals here. Uh and and I'll tell 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:17.440 you why now, Ryan Finley, Ryan Finley there. Who's Brian 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.720 Finley who works with us? The great Brian Finley? Why 0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.920 I think our top anchor is Brian Finley. So we 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:24.679 don't have an employee that is by the name of 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.160 Brian Finley. Just a heads up. He is. He is 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.920 so good. He's a Brian Finley that works here. And 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:34.720 that's the same the same concept and the same concept 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.679 the guys have stud everyone. He's moving off. He's gonna 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:42.360 replace like Dan Pot someday. He's amazing talent. Anyway, Ryan 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:47.880 Finley has been displaying Blayton football maupractice since he took 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:53.640 over for Andy Dalton in Cincinnati. Finley is the NFL's 0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:57.080 lowest ranked quarterback in that stretch's passer rating, his fifty 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.520 two point eight UM. The top passer ready are over 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.720 a hundred. Perfect would be a hundred and fifty three, 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:08.319 and he's at fifty two uh and more impressively, a 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.760 starting quarterback over the last couple of weeks in the 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:14.760 NFL is averaging three point three yards per attempt. It's 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:16.520 member the old thing used to be three yards in 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.160 a cloud of dust when you ran the ball. Well, 0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.240 when Ryan Finley throws the ball at three yards and 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:24.520 a cloud of dust, the stage appears to be too big, 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.320 and much like myself when I first started in radio, 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:32.520 he's got flop sweat Ryan Ryan Finley. So so then 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:36.040 you have the defensive excuse. The Bengals have allowed sixty 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:38.880 five plays of twenty or more yards of this season. 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.320 That's the most in the NFL, and in even close 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:45.760 because the next closest team is all right as and 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:49.840 they're at fifty six. The Steelers only have thirty offensive 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:53.640 plays though of twenty plus yards, fewest. Fifth yewist in 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.240 the NFL is not the worst, but the fifth yew 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.120 wist and now that's it Cincinnati. The reason I liked 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.319 the Banks they did over against the Raiders last week 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.400 on the road since despite their oh and ten record, 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:08.240 there four and six against the spread this season, so 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:10.760 that they don't have the worst against the spread record 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:12.400 in the NFL. Right in the middle, there's a lot 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.679 of teams that are four and six or five and 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.280 five or six and four right in that area against 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.360 the number and be Pittsburgh. Now, I know they're gonna 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.160 have more fans, just like a Charger situation. Everyone the 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.959 Charges play in l A and have more fans. Pittsburgh 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.480 will have more support here. Steeler Nation travels. It's not 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.520 that far to get down to Cincinnati. But unfortunately those 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:36.440 people don't play. Mason Rudolph and the Steelers have a 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.840 struggle every week on offense, and for this reason, and 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:44.319 pretty much this reason alone, they should not be favored 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:48.720 by almost a touchdown. That is nuts. Divisional games, by 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:54.040 their nature are typically close, even when boss in home 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:59.320 dogs providing value. So give me Cincinnati to win this game, 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.120 at least against the number. Behind Joe Mixing and the 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:06.360 power running game. Steelers a win on the scoreboard, But 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:10.280 for the gambler, Cincinnati is the right side here. Pittsburgh twenty, 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:15.640 the Bengals sixteen. The penny picks. The penny is going 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.600 the opposite a way. No chance are going with the 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.840 Bengals in this one. Steelers Baby, be sure to catch 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.480 live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays at two 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:28.440 am Eastern Pacific. Alright, let's get trivial. Let's get trivia. 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:32.960 Which quarterback has a seven sixty nine winning percentage as 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.800 a starter when having a passer rating of eighty one 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:42.920 or better, but is winless when finishing below that particular mark. Again, 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.320 we're looking for the name of a starting quarterback in 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.160 the NFL who has a seven sixty nine career winning 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:51.440 percentage as a starter when a passer rating of eighty 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:57.240 one or better, but winless when finishing below that mark. 0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:59.520 The answer coming up next up the New York Giants 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.240 two and a at the Chicago Bears four and six. 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.760 It's on Fox with Tom Brennam and Chris Spielman. So 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:10.240 you better watch the Bears open to seven point favorite 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:12.320 Chicago favorite by six and a half. It will be 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:17.000 sunny forty two degrees at kickoff at Soldier Field with 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.560 Doc Mike and the people of Chicago. I am gonna 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:23.680 take the Giants in this game. I saw the Bears 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.480 play the Rams last week. I just can't. You can't 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.160 go with Chicago at this point. The first thing he's 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:32.000 got Mr Rubinsky, who was benched the Bears, afraid to 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.560 admit that for Chase Daniel in the final minutes against 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.720 the Rams. Matt Naggy, though, doesn't have the balls to 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.160 talk about that. Now we are told that Rabinsky is 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:44.960 going to remain the starter. Health permitting. Wink wink, wink, 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:49.880 health permitting. In air quotes, Uh, Trubisky has been dogshit. Uh. 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.320 He has been a dog with fleas all season, but 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:56.360 even worse lately, he's thirtieth. Uh. He's the thirtieth ranked 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.680 quarterback in the NFL last four weeks. What does one 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:01.440 have to do to lose their job? He's terrible. Not 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:05.160 only is your quarterback, he sucks. Uh, and he continues 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.920 to go out there. Now. The secondly, the Bears. The 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.600 reason I like the Giants. The Bears have struggled against 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:14.360 the run since they said bye bye because a Kee 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:18.920 Knicks got hurt. Todd Gurley, who has been miserable for 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.360 the Rams pretty much all year, he had a breakout 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:26.280 game against the Chicago defense last week. So connecting the 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:30.720 dots right, connecting the dots, you would suspect even the hobbles. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:35.320 Sequon Barkley, who has had some miserable performances himself, will 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.360 be able to be the wrecking ball through that imperfect 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.480 run defense. He is going to need to be since 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:45.800 the Giants only real ammunition on defense is the defensive line. 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.560 They got Leonard Williams and they're teaming him up with 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:50.920 Dexter Lawrence. That's a pretty good one to punch for 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.520 the Giants defensively in the middle. So the Giants the 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:56.600 only way they're gonna do anything is trying to pounce 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.760 the weak offensive line of the Bears, and that is 0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:02.200 the weak link for Chicago along with Drabinski. These teams 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:05.080 are way too close right now to have almost a 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.000 touchdown spread that the reason the number is so high 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.360 is because of public perception of the Chicago Bears. Uh. 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.480 And also the Bears are a team that plays on 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.920 Thanksgiving in four days as well, so you think about 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:18.800 four days after this game, so you think there'll be 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:22.720 a distraction. Bears will win, but it will be by 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.200 the skin and their chinny chin chin. Chicago twenty six 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:30.320 the Giants twenty three. The penny picked. Penny's going with 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.200 the Giants to win? Outright, Oh, it went out right, 0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:34.920 like I don't think the penny said that. I think 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.040 now people were asking if you actually flip the penny. 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:39.760 People think that you're a fraudster and a scamster, and 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:42.320 you don't actually squeeze the penny. I think the penning. 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:45.160 I think if anyone asked or saw me last week 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:47.520 on Fox, they would know that I'm not a fraud. Uh. 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.960 I think I would. Uh. I got showered with flowers 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:55.879 and compliments and desserts and cheese, steak and everything else. Well, 0:17:55.960 --> 0:18:01.600 you strong armed yourself steak a sniveling child having a 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.040 hissy fit. All right, let's get trivial. The answer which 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:09.080 quarterback Escohn has a seven sixty nine winning percentage as 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.000 a starter, and and that's when he has a passer 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.040 rating of eighty one or better, but his winless in 0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:17.159 his career when finishing below that mark. I'm gonna go 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:20.320 with Captain Kirk Kirk Cousins. Kirk Cousins, all right, that's 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:24.040 that's not a bad answer. Cousins is typically been hot 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.879 and cold, but it's not Kirk Cousins. The answer is 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:31.440 Baker Mayfield. Baker Mayfield is ten and three is Cleveland 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:34.600 starting quarterback When he has a passer in eighty one 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:36.720 or better. He is oh in ten, He's yet to 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:40.199 win a game when finishing below that number. All right, 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.080 next up, Oakland six and four at the j e 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:47.440 t s sucks sucks, suck three and seven. It's on CBS. 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:50.720 Uh and uh listen. I'm gonna take the Raiders here. 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:52.159 I don't know who's doing this game. I'm gonna take 0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.840 the Raiders. You don't know who's doing this game. You 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:56.400 want me to look you want me to to look 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:57.920 it up here? I didn't. I didn't write it down. 0:18:57.960 --> 0:18:59.479 I don't know what you want. We can't have an 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:03.800 entree about utensils. Really, yes, all right, why don't you 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:05.720 talk for a second. I'm gonna look it up here, 0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:07.479 all right? So we got the We got the Raiders 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.400 at the Jets. Jets three and seventh season, Raiders six 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.440 and four playoff bound. Maybe the one area that you 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:14.760 gotta look at us what they do on the road 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.399 this season, even with Derek Carr and Josh Jacobs, are 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.160 just one and three on the road from the Bay Area. 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:21.880 And I keep in mind they have had a lot 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.679 of road games early on this season. So after this 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.320 game against the Jets will return to their happy confines 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.280 of the toilet known as the what is it the 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:34.200 Oakland That's not the Oakland Alimeda Cola seat Some corporate name. Now, no, 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.480 this is actually this is Andrew Catalan. Uh, this is 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:40.199 Andrew Catalan and James Lawton. I had them doing a 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.320 different game, but this is their game. Now the magic 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:44.280 number in this game. Wait a minute, I gotta correct that. 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:45.719 Whold on a second, I gotta correct it was an 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.520 injustice here the Pittsburgh Cleveland game, which I thought, Wait 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:52.040 a minute. Here they are listed the NFL. But this 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:56.520 is the NFL. Sends me who's doing the games? And 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:00.719 they have the TV broadcast, the serious broadcas s on 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.479 XM radio, and they have this is a mistake by 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:09.760 the NFL. They have Andrew Catalan listed with James Lofton 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:12.520 to do two games that start at the same time. 0:20:13.040 --> 0:20:15.879 How about that. It's pretty awesome. Yeah. Catalan is apparently 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:19.440 gonna do the Browns Steelers game, and he will also 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:22.320 be able to broadcast the Jets and Raiders. He's gonna 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.400 clone himself. Well, on today's digital age, we can watch 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.639 one game and watch another, so not might be a 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.000 bad option, right, do it digitally? There you go. All right, 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:33.240 let's just get to the damn game. You already talked 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:34.600 about us. I don't need to I don't need to 0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.199 talk about. You preview the game, you went through all 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:40.399 that and no, all right, I'm gonna listen light rein 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.840 at kick off? Did you say that? Forty four degrees 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:47.520 at MetLife Stadium? The Raiders a three point favorite. I'm 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:49.880 gonna take the Jets. I am gonna take the Jets 0:20:49.880 --> 0:20:51.560 in this game. I'll tell you why. First of all, 0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:55.600 this has all the secret ingredients of a disaster for 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:58.800 the Raiders. You're talking about in gambling parlance, what do 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:00.840 you look for? What do you look for? The signal? 0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.680 This could go the other way? The the wrong team 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:06.000 is favored, or at least the underdog is a live dog. 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:09.040 You've got look at all these factors. West coast team 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.800 playing an early game on the East Coast, warm weather 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:17.159 team in chilly, rainy conditions on the East Coast. You expected, 0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:20.200 You're expected to win this game. This is a peek 0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:24.840 a boo game because on the horizon, if the Jets 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:27.359 do not win this game, the Raiders win this game. 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:30.960 Next week is a showdown for the Ages and a 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.919 f C West blood bath with Kansas City for first 0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:38.440 place on the line. But to get to that game, 0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:41.159 you've got to beat the Jets all of Oakland's victories 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:44.600 this year have been by a single possession. They play 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:49.320 everyone close, even the Bengals. As we said earlier last week, 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:52.639 the Raiders have generated just twenty feet downs and that 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:57.000 in that particularly twenty feet downs against the Cincinnati Bengals, 0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:00.360 who are oh intent now. On the positive side, John 0:22:00.440 --> 0:22:03.920 Druden got crucified for trading Khalil Mack last year for 0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:06.359 a bunch of draft picks. Not only can the Raiders 0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:08.200 get a top ten pick this year in the draft 0:22:08.240 --> 0:22:11.560 for Khalil Mac, but their defense that had only thirteen 0:22:11.600 --> 0:22:15.960 sacks last season, the Raiders have twenty five this season. 0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:20.480 That is the largest sack increase by any team from 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:23.200 last year to this year. So they've improved the most. 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:25.880 Of course they were the bar was pretty low now. Secondly, 0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:28.520 I'm not gonna sit here and say that the Jets 0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:31.000 have turned the corner. I know that the Hyperboleada New 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:32.800 York is the Jets still have a path to get 0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:36.200 to the playoffs. Uh No, they don't. But at least 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:39.600 the George Washington Bridge is no longer falling down on 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:43.200 Adam Gaze. Sam Donald has stopped seeing ghosts because he's 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:46.040 been playing some bad teams. After being held to eight 0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:48.720 team points of last seven of their first eight games, 0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:51.840 the Jets have now scored thirty four points in back 0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:54.000 to back games of coorse to playing the week sisters 0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:56.679 of the NFL the week in the Blind that the 0:22:56.800 --> 0:23:00.320 Jets beat the Cowboys a few weeks back at home. 0:23:00.560 --> 0:23:05.000 This is a value play the Jets. I really, I 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:07.280 really liked them in this spot. As Dave Roberts was, 0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:09.920 the Raiders have lost their last five games. If you 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:12.119 look at the trend against the Jets, that goes way back. 0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:15.960 Last time the Jets and Raiders game went the way 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:17.919 of the Raiders at the meadow Lands was back in 0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:22.879 when Rich code Tight was coaching the Jets and the 0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:27.679 quarterback matchup with Jeff Hosteddler versus Frank Reich Hosteller for 0:23:27.680 --> 0:23:31.040 the Raiders, right, who's now a coach in Indianapolis, was 0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:34.680 playing for the the Jets at that time. So I'll 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:37.400 take Gang Green to win the game outright. Jets twenty 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:42.919 Raiders seventeen Penning to go with one of our loyal 0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:46.120 subscribers to the podcast going with the New York Jets, 0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:50.480 all right, Next up de Gun, Greg Gumbel, Trent Green 0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:53.640 and Melanie Collins on the call Jets and Raiders since 0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:56.159 you did not properly do your homework. But again, I 0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:59.359 can send you the thing the NFL sends me, but 0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:02.240 that does not to have them list. Showing up for 0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:04.440 work is one thing, but given the extra effort as another, 0:24:04.560 --> 0:24:07.840 I do just that for your podcast. Well, showing up 0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:11.440 on time is a problem. Just let's move forward. Alright, 0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:15.200 we'll move forward. Carolina five and five at New Orleans 0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:18.800 Knowlans eight until it's on CBS. Have you been down 0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:21.000 there before? New Orleans? No, I've not spend any time 0:24:21.000 --> 0:24:22.760 a New Orleans, you know, I haven't. I need to 0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:24.879 go there and get my wife wants to go to 0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:27.280 New Orleans. But I don't like seafood, and I don't 0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:29.760 like eating like alligator and crap like that. I feel 0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:31.520 like a lot of the food in New Orleans is 0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:33.720 like so exotic. In the buyou, I don't know that 0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:35.719 it would be ben friendly, although they do. They do 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:37.600 deep fry a lot of stuff, which I like. Yeah, 0:24:37.600 --> 0:24:42.159 but can your insides actually hold that down? I told 0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:44.880 you on the other podcast, gastcount I wish I had 0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:47.320 that problem. Everyone that has their gallbladder taken out tells 0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:49.480 me the food goes right through you. I have yet 0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:53.119 to experience that, but I don't understand why I wish 0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:56.040 that would happen, because then I feel like I wouldn't 0:24:56.040 --> 0:24:58.439 gain much weight from eating food all of a sudden. 0:24:58.440 --> 0:25:00.440 Believe it like you want to just be I don't 0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:02.120 want to be believing, but I'm but I'm. What I'm 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:04.399 saying is like everything I've read is when you have 0:25:04.440 --> 0:25:07.119 your gallbladder taken out like I had, that you you 0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:09.919 can't eat certain foods. It goes right through you. Um, 0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:12.800 Mike Harmon, our colleague was telling me that I have 0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:16.159 not had that experience. I'm not. And it's been a 0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:18.080 couple of weeks since I had this taken out, and 0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:21.280 I wish I've had the opposite. As I said, I 0:25:21.280 --> 0:25:23.320 can imagine eating anything in the Bayou is probably a 0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:26.280 little heightened sense of intensity to the bowel movement. So 0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:30.119 let's not test that anytime soon. Alright, though, Well they 0:25:30.200 --> 0:25:31.920 go down, you want to do us? Maybe see son 0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:33.359 will play a game in New Orleans. You can go 0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:36.160 do the game. You can be alongside doing well. I'm 0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:38.680 all for that. I will suddenly. Maybe there's a high 0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:42.560 school football game in Louisiana. We can all right. Moving on. 0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:47.439 The Saints open a seven point favorite. They are favored 0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:50.520 by nine and a half. It'll be sunny in fifty 0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:55.239 nine outside the Mercedes Bends super Dome in this game. Now, 0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:57.640 I'm gonna take the Panthers. I don't love the pick, 0:25:57.720 --> 0:26:00.520 but that's the right side. You know that old line, 0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:03.080 it's raining, it's snoring, the old man is snoring. The 0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:05.600 old man in this case is Kyle Allen. Wait, you 0:26:05.600 --> 0:26:08.480 gotta say it right. It's raining, it's pouring, the old 0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:11.600 man is snow I didn't. I said it's raining, is pouring. 0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:16.560 You said it's raining, It's it's snowing. Did I say snowing? Yeah? 0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:18.480 I thought I said. Point that's all right because last 0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:20.200 not in your show, you were talking about the hair 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:23.000 of your chinny chin chin, which is the or you 0:26:23.000 --> 0:26:25.600 said the skin of your chin something like that. You 0:26:25.640 --> 0:26:27.359 really totally left it up, but I like it was 0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:31.119 embarrassed and turned off the show. Yeah, but that's fine. Yeah, 0:26:31.280 --> 0:26:33.240 I'm here is the guy that was late to the 0:26:33.280 --> 0:26:36.399 podcast to do a was it a noons start on 0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:38.960 the tip of time for the Matadome, which is the 0:26:39.000 --> 0:26:43.320 home of karate Kid Part one the Matta Dome. What 0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:47.439 a cute name. So Kyle Allen has been vile, he 0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:51.080 has he has fallen into Dante's inferno. He's the Carolina quarterback. 0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:53.600 Last four weeks, this guy's managed to put up a 0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:57.239 passer rating of sixty point three, second worst in the 0:26:57.440 --> 0:27:00.439 entire NFL. Over that stretched shout out Ryan and Finley, 0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:03.719 who's dead last. It goes without saying that he's obviously 0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:05.480 gotta find a way to get his confidence back in 0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:10.080 a hostile environment. It's the unforced mistakes that have been 0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:13.520 the backbreaker for Ron Rivera's quarterback here and and be 0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:18.160 Drew Brees and the Saints. Now I get that public 0:27:18.200 --> 0:27:21.119 perception as they should win this game by twenty five 0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:24.040 or thirty points. And I bet against him. Last week 0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:27.320 they covered the spread against Tampa on the road. Um, 0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:29.919 and Carolina is gonna have to play a cleaner game. 0:27:29.960 --> 0:27:35.080 There's a lot of mistakes misques from Carolina. Nevertheless, the Panthers, 0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:37.879 I believe we're kind of looking at it. This was 0:27:38.000 --> 0:27:40.119 supposed to be a big game. Carolina had one last 0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:42.800 week and the Saints had lost which was on the table. 0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:46.879 This would have been a much bigger game in the division. 0:27:47.440 --> 0:27:50.800 And the Panthers did not compete against the Falcons. And 0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:52.880 so if you don't show up to the game before 0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:55.080 the game you're looking at, you better win that game. 0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:57.720 The game that you're peeking a head to look at. 0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:00.960 Christian McCaffrey is going to have to also have the 0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:03.520 game of his life against the pretty good Saints defense. 0:28:03.800 --> 0:28:07.960 Kyle Allen make some quicker decisions. You don't normally get 0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:11.240 blown out back to back to back games, uh in 0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:16.280 the division. So if you're trying Carolina and you want 0:28:16.280 --> 0:28:19.639 to compete here, any time you get over seven points 0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:21.800 in a divisional game, what do I always say? You 0:28:21.920 --> 0:28:24.679 don't ask questions. You take those points. You put a 0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:26.919 smile on your face. So the Saints will win, but 0:28:26.920 --> 0:28:30.680 they won't cover almost double digits. New Orleans thirty, Carolina 0:28:30.760 --> 0:28:35.200 twenty threepenny. Go with the Bayou and go with the 0:28:35.200 --> 0:28:38.480 New Orleans Saints, all right, Next up Tampa bay three 0:28:38.520 --> 0:28:42.200 and seven at Atlanta three and seven. And this should 0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:44.440 have been your pick for the Dick Stockton game, because 0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:47.000 this is the Dick Stockton game with Mark schlay Riff. 0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:51.480 They have the call here from Georgia now the Falcons 0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:55.000 open to three point favorite. Atlanta is favored by four 0:28:55.920 --> 0:29:00.920 the sunny fifty three degrees at kickoff outside the Mercedes 0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:05.640 Bands Stadium in Atlanta. I'm gonna take Tampa in this game. Now. 0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:09.440 I know Jamis Winston is hobbled with an ankle problem. 0:29:09.480 --> 0:29:12.320 He has expected to play. That's not you know, that's 0:29:12.360 --> 0:29:16.800 not going to derail the Buccaneers. The problem is he 0:29:16.840 --> 0:29:19.720 has not been the fastest ship in the fleet. As 0:29:19.760 --> 0:29:22.880 they say. Winston is leading the world in negative plays 0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:26.719 for a quarterback. He's boom or bust. There's a lot 0:29:26.760 --> 0:29:30.200 of touchdowns, throws a lot of interceptions. The Bucks quarterback 0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:33.760 leads the NFL not only in interceptions with a team, 0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:36.520 but also in sacks. Has been sacked thirty six times. 0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:40.120 I don't know if he gets a bonus for negligence, 0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:42.520 but if he did, he would certainly cash. And it 0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:46.080 is craziness. Now, Bruce arians was brought in as the 0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:50.320 quarterback whisperer, and how is that working at Winston has 0:29:50.360 --> 0:29:53.760 actually done well though against the Falcons. That's something I'm 0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:57.200 gonna hang my microphone on here. Last five games in 0:29:57.280 --> 0:30:01.560 the vision against the guys from jar you Jamis Winston 0:30:01.640 --> 0:30:04.360 has had three or more touchdown passes and he passer 0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:06.400 rating of a hundred and ten plus. So he's got 0:30:06.720 --> 0:30:09.640 some confidence when he sees that falcon helmet. Uh and 0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:12.080 hopefully that spills in for me this week and too, 0:30:13.080 --> 0:30:15.640 I get that something has clicked in Atlanta. The last 0:30:15.640 --> 0:30:17.960 two weeks. They have looked like a legit team. They 0:30:17.960 --> 0:30:21.600 were a dumpster fire the first part of the NFL season, 0:30:21.640 --> 0:30:24.840 but they took the Saints and Panthers down. They slayed 0:30:24.920 --> 0:30:26.840 the Giant Saints a couple of weeks ago, and they 0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:30.560 followed that up within another road win. Now they have 0:30:30.600 --> 0:30:32.640 to figure out how to win a game at home 0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:36.560 in the Dome in Atlanta in Division it has it 0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:38.560 has been a happy place for Atlanta. I think they've 0:30:38.560 --> 0:30:43.200 won fifteen of their last nineteen games against NFC South opponents, 0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:46.360 and Matt Ryan has the perfect opponent to keep the 0:30:46.400 --> 0:30:49.000 good karma growing and going up and all that. Tampa 0:30:49.040 --> 0:30:52.360 Bay is the NFL's thirty first ranked past defense. The 0:30:52.480 --> 0:30:55.840 last three weeks, they've allowed over three yards per game passing, 0:30:56.360 --> 0:30:59.880 just passing, forget the running game. Despite all that, uh, 0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:03.120 I I don't fully trust that this balloon is not 0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:07.280 going to burst on the Falcons here. They also play 0:31:07.320 --> 0:31:10.640 the Saints on Thanksgiving in four days. I look at 0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:14.040 that matchup, I say, well, that's a layer of distraction. 0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:18.320 This line feels too high Atlanta while they are playing better, 0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:20.240 should they really be a four point for their three 0:31:20.240 --> 0:31:22.760 and seven? These teams are both three and seven Bucks 0:31:22.760 --> 0:31:27.000 twenty seven Falcons twenty six Tampa with the road wind. 0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:30.040 Awful pick, Penny going with Atlanta Falcons and not at all, 0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:33.880 it's a great pick. It's a wonderful pick. Yeah. I 0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:37.320 think we just did Detroit. You and I, oh the 0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:41.120 cheese streak cheese. We could we could up the Anny 0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:45.000 if you want um. Detroit three, six and one at 0:31:45.320 --> 0:31:49.400 Washington one and nine. I heard that on Fox with 0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:52.600 Kenny Albert and ron Da Barbera. The hardest working man 0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:56.520 in sports television. Kenny Albert amazing, he was in. I 0:31:56.560 --> 0:31:59.960 watched him do a Knicks sixers game this week in Philly, 0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:03.000 and then, uh, you know the whole thing. Anyway, I 0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:04.800 don't get any credit for the hard work that I 0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:09.280 put in. Yeah, well, yeah, show up late here. I 0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:12.680 don't showed up late here, showed us at start until 0:32:13.200 --> 0:32:15.760 eleven PM. I don't know what you're talking about. We're 0:32:15.800 --> 0:32:21.160 recording this at Friday morning, unless we're not, unless we're 0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:24.560 not so all right, Washington Detroit. This is the game. 0:32:24.600 --> 0:32:27.120 We mentioned this on the radio show this week that 0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:29.600 you can get a ticket for four dollars for the 0:32:29.640 --> 0:32:32.160 price of a cup of coffee, like two cups of coffee. 0:32:32.200 --> 0:32:34.840 You can get a ticket in a land over Maryland 0:32:34.840 --> 0:32:38.760 to watch this game. Uh and the Lions open to 0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:40.960 one and app point favorite their favorite by three and 0:32:41.000 --> 0:32:44.000 a half. It'll be sunny forty nine degrees that kick 0:32:44.040 --> 0:32:48.760 off at FedEx Field the stadium. Dan Snyder ruined the 0:32:48.840 --> 0:32:51.080 pick is in. I am gonna take the Redskins in 0:32:51.120 --> 0:32:53.520 this game, and I'll tell you why. This is the 0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:57.880 ultimate test for the Lions past defense. They have been 0:32:58.240 --> 0:33:04.800 under siege. Detroit is thirtie against the past. So the test, 0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:10.200 the real asset test, is can be incompetent. Incompetent Dwayne 0:33:10.240 --> 0:33:15.400 hask find salvation against the Lions defense. The Motor City 0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:18.960 kiddies here, how bad has Haskins been. He is averaging 0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:23.360 four point one yards per attempt. Haskins has yet to 0:33:23.440 --> 0:33:26.160 take a snap when the Redskins have had the lead 0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:28.800 in this game. I believe that is about to change. 0:33:28.840 --> 0:33:32.480 And secondly, the other reason to not like the Lions 0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:36.640 here is the public is loading up on Detroit. People 0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:41.440 are dumb. Jeff Driscoll is a road favorite by over 0:33:41.560 --> 0:33:48.320 a field goal. Jeff Driscoll. Detroit's defense, as we said Incompetent, 0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:52.360 the casual better though, is loading up on the lines. 0:33:52.480 --> 0:33:55.440 This game will be as about about enjoyable as a 0:33:55.560 --> 0:33:59.240 time David Gascon had hemorrhoids. Uh is going to be 0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:02.600 at gan icing it'll be unwatchable. Why didn't you know 0:34:02.680 --> 0:34:07.680 I had that? Nevertheless, when two bad teams play and 0:34:07.800 --> 0:34:11.080 you have a home team who's a dog, you take 0:34:11.200 --> 0:34:15.520 the dog, our our our hell to the red Skins, 0:34:15.560 --> 0:34:19.520 hell to vic Dory. Washington gets their second win of 0:34:19.520 --> 0:34:26.200 the year. Redskins seventeen, Lions thirteen one. In doubt, Penny 0:34:26.320 --> 0:34:28.200 is going with the home team, going with the dead Skins. 0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.160 Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 0:34:31.160 --> 0:34:34.160 the nation.

All right, next up, 0:34:40.640 --> 0:34:45.040 let's get Trivial. Let's get since he ended the league 0:34:45.040 --> 0:34:49.960 in twelve. Russell Wilson has twenty eight game winning drives 0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:52.960 in the fourth quarter and overtime. He had another one 0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:58.040 against the forty Niners recently, one more than Matthew Stafford. 0:34:59.440 --> 0:35:02.080 And I just gave away the answer. I just gave 0:35:03.200 --> 0:35:12.359 you happy about that fight. You are you much good 0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:15.080 job by me, So I guess you knew what I 0:35:15.160 --> 0:35:18.000 was if I telegraph that. So that worked out the 0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:22.799 great podcast. It's unbelievable. Actually, the good thing is that 0:35:22.840 --> 0:35:26.640 you'll you'll edit that out. No one will hear that, 0:35:26.800 --> 0:35:29.560 and this will all end up on the editing room floor. 0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:33.640 You professional, You're a good colleague here, man helping man. 0:35:33.800 --> 0:35:35.560 I look out for you, you look out for me. 0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:39.120 There's a brotherhood in the podcasting game, right. That's bullshit, 0:35:39.280 --> 0:35:41.480 But I will say that I can guarantee you you 0:35:41.520 --> 0:35:43.400 will have a listener that will hit me up on 0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:46.320 Twitter and say what was the answer to Ben's final question? 0:35:46.960 --> 0:35:49.440 I can guarantee you all right, So you now you're 0:35:49.480 --> 0:35:51.400 taking cheap shots at the fans of the show, A 0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:54.319 right of course, all right? Next up, since we got 0:35:54.320 --> 0:35:59.320 through the trivia question, Seattle eight and two, Philadelphia five 0:35:59.400 --> 0:36:03.000 and five, it's on Fox you better watch. Kevin Burkhardt 0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:06.880 and Charles Davis have the call. Now the Eagles opened 0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:10.000 at three point favorite, Philadelphia favorite by two and a half. 0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:12.799 Now it'll be cloudy forty six degrees that kick off 0:36:12.800 --> 0:36:16.120 at Lincoln Financial Field. I like the Eagles a lot. 0:36:16.160 --> 0:36:18.000 This is one of my stronger plays this week. And 0:36:18.160 --> 0:36:20.920 and and hey, the public. I was looking at how 0:36:20.960 --> 0:36:23.719 the public looks at these things. They seem to think 0:36:23.800 --> 0:36:27.120 that the wrong team is favorite. Right, The Seahawks are 0:36:27.520 --> 0:36:31.920 the choice of the people. Popular people's pick is Seattle. 0:36:32.320 --> 0:36:36.120 They are a massive public underdog. Seattle did beat the 0:36:36.160 --> 0:36:39.959 forty Niners that throwback come back Monday night football game, 0:36:40.520 --> 0:36:44.279 but they have also struggled. Look at Seattle's resume. They 0:36:44.360 --> 0:36:48.359 are over raid and they have struggled to win games 0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:51.080 against the Bengals and Buccaneers. Should have lost to the 0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:54.400 Rams at home. A missed field goal at the Buzzer 0:36:54.520 --> 0:36:58.040 did them in. They have only one blowout win, that 0:36:58.160 --> 0:37:01.839 was back in Week four against the Oopa Loopa Alligator Arms, 0:37:01.920 --> 0:37:07.080 Murray and Arizona. So other than that, it's been a 0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:10.600 white knuckle ride for Seattle. Why is that gonna chance here? 0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:13.799 Russell Wilson I understand he's gonna have to hold off 0:37:13.920 --> 0:37:16.840 Lamar Jackson. The m v P race's last nine starts 0:37:16.840 --> 0:37:20.200 on the road, Russell Wilson's got nineteen touchdowns and an interception, 0:37:20.239 --> 0:37:22.480 so I expect him to play well. But the key 0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:24.680 here for the Eagles, and as at the time we're 0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:26.719 doing this, we don't have all the injury reports and 0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:28.920 all that, but but they have to find their offense. 0:37:28.960 --> 0:37:31.360 And the defense has been good enough here. The Eagles 0:37:31.400 --> 0:37:34.800 had the NFL's number one past defense over the last 0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:38.920 three weeks. The issue is Carson Wentz, who fell apart 0:37:39.560 --> 0:37:42.440 when Lane Johnson left that game against the Patriots with 0:37:42.480 --> 0:37:45.480 a concussion. We believe he'll be back. The Philly receivers 0:37:45.480 --> 0:37:49.640 are also the freemasons of football, hands of stone. Uh. 0:37:49.680 --> 0:37:52.120 And we had the big scandal we talked about on 0:37:52.160 --> 0:37:55.160 the radio this week, Nelson Agilar and his burner burner 0:37:55.160 --> 0:37:59.040 account apparently got caught red handed. Uh. But if you 0:37:59.120 --> 0:38:00.800 depend on those with you, you're gonna end up in 0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:04.520 a body bag to catch pass. But I like Philadelphia. Nonetheless, 0:38:04.600 --> 0:38:08.399 the Seahawks, coming off of by an emotional key divisional game, 0:38:08.800 --> 0:38:13.160 West Coast team goes East Chili conditions. Although Seattle is 0:38:13.200 --> 0:38:17.480 not the warmest city, Seattle is not as good as 0:38:17.560 --> 0:38:23.520 their record. Eagles Fly, Eagles Fly on the road to 0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:27.440 vic Dory Eagles thirty three, Seahawks twenty seven. How's my singing? 0:38:27.600 --> 0:38:29.279 I don't know, but it's as bad as you're saying 0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:31.440 that this is a divisional game. Penny has gone with 0:38:31.560 --> 0:38:33.920 the Eagles as well. I didn't say you did. You 0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:37.520 can go back to the podcast. Why would I say 0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:39.920 this is a division Sometimes you miss speak. What do 0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:44.680 you want for me? I'm just paying attention to you. Yeah, okay, Well, 0:38:44.680 --> 0:38:46.160 I'm gonna send you know what to do. I'm gonna 0:38:46.160 --> 0:38:49.240 send you to broadcasting school so you can learn the nuance. 0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:52.719 You never correct your on air partner. Never, Well, you 0:38:52.800 --> 0:38:55.040 just did. You've done it twice. You've done it now twice. 0:38:56.680 --> 0:39:00.160 This is not a safe space for you. What do 0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:03.920 you do? Doche alright, I'm Middle America. But you can 0:39:04.000 --> 0:39:07.320 understand and check people. I agree with him, Alamlsia, you sucked. 0:39:07.480 --> 0:39:12.920 I agree with him. You're terrible. Alright. Uh. Last last 0:39:12.920 --> 0:39:15.560 part of the schedules the late television windows. So we'll 0:39:15.560 --> 0:39:17.879 get to that right now. Jacksonville only couple of eight games, 0:39:18.080 --> 0:39:21.279 Jacksonville four and six at Tennessee five and five. It's 0:39:21.360 --> 0:39:25.360 on CBS. I an Eagle, the dad of the Clipper broadcaster, 0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:29.880 and Dan Fouts have the call. Now the Titans open 0:39:29.960 --> 0:39:31.960 to two and a half point favorite. They are favored 0:39:32.040 --> 0:39:35.080 by three on the home field. It will be sunny 0:39:35.400 --> 0:39:39.000 forty nine degrees that kick off at Nissan Stadium, the 0:39:39.080 --> 0:39:42.560 house that Clay Travis pays for in Nashville. Now, I'm 0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:44.440 gonna take the Titans in this game. I actually like 0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:46.319 the Titans a lot in this game. It's one of 0:39:46.360 --> 0:39:49.719 my stronger plays as well. I like Tennessee. And I'll 0:39:49.719 --> 0:39:52.800 tell you why. Nick Foles, he I know, he know, 0:39:52.920 --> 0:39:55.080 ever has to worry about buying a meal in Philadelphia. 0:39:55.080 --> 0:39:57.200 The problem is he don't play in Philadelphi anymore. He's 0:39:57.200 --> 0:40:01.240 in Jacksonville. Folls returned last week and was shell lacked 0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:03.879 in the game last week. The numbers were not as 0:40:03.920 --> 0:40:06.600 bad as the eyeball test. He helped himself in garbage time. 0:40:06.920 --> 0:40:09.239 The stark truth is that Nick Foles has been a 0:40:09.360 --> 0:40:13.360 lightweight outside of that out of body experience during the 0:40:13.360 --> 0:40:17.000 playoff run with Philadelphia. You add to the fact that 0:40:17.040 --> 0:40:21.319 the Jags defense has fallen into poverty, and it's not 0:40:21.480 --> 0:40:25.560 going to be a pretty afternoon, a late afternoon in 0:40:25.680 --> 0:40:29.560 Nashville for Jacksonville. And and to Ryan Tannehill, while he's 0:40:29.560 --> 0:40:31.839 not the long term answer, he is the short term 0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:35.360 answer in the micro. He's the guy better than Marcus Mariota. 0:40:35.560 --> 0:40:40.160 In fact, since week six, Ryan Tannehill is third in 0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:45.320 the entire NFL and completion percentage completing over his passes. 0:40:45.360 --> 0:40:49.319 Only Drew Brees and Kirk Cousins have been better in 0:40:49.400 --> 0:40:54.120 that stretch. But this week is not about Tannehill. The 0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:58.600 Jags have been the NFL's second best past defense the 0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:02.520 last three weeks. This game is about Derek f and 0:41:02.680 --> 0:41:07.560 Henry al Right, the running back in in Tennessee. Uh yeah, 0:41:07.719 --> 0:41:10.920 hit your wagon to Henry and let him play the 0:41:11.040 --> 0:41:14.440 role of the wrecking ball in this game. He should dominate. 0:41:15.120 --> 0:41:19.879 Jacksonville is dead last. They are the Omega of run defenses. 0:41:19.960 --> 0:41:23.399 In fact, the last three weeks, Jacksonville is allowing over 0:41:23.520 --> 0:41:26.399 six yards per carry. The Colts had I believe, two 0:41:26.400 --> 0:41:29.360 different running backs who were at a hundred yards or 0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:33.440 close to it last week. So I am writing the 0:41:33.480 --> 0:41:37.719 flame heads betting against Nick Foles Tennessee. They're only a 0:41:37.760 --> 0:41:40.240 three point favorite. They'll win this game by double digits. 0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:46.560 Titans thirty, jag seventeen the Titans as well. Do you 0:41:46.640 --> 0:41:48.200 want to bet on that game? You want to take 0:41:48.200 --> 0:41:53.600 a wagering that to win this game, Jacksonville, because you 0:41:53.600 --> 0:41:56.440 want to be we should go a game. We just 0:41:56.640 --> 0:41:58.680 we have dissension on al right. Next up that we 0:41:58.680 --> 0:42:01.160 gotta hurry with you look the clock, yeah, because I 0:42:01.160 --> 0:42:03.040 gotta work, and I you know I'm gonna work. But 0:42:03.040 --> 0:42:04.960 you showed up forty minutes late, so I want you 0:42:05.000 --> 0:42:06.520 to know you would have been done forty minutes ago. 0:42:06.520 --> 0:42:08.799 Al right. Next up Dallas six and four at New 0:42:08.800 --> 0:42:13.080 England nine and one. It's on Fox with Joe Buck 0:42:13.400 --> 0:42:16.640 and Troy Aikman. This is a massive game most of 0:42:16.680 --> 0:42:18.799 the United there's only two late games, so pretty much 0:42:18.800 --> 0:42:22.760 everybody's getting Cowboys and Patriots. They're expecting a massive rating. 0:42:23.080 --> 0:42:25.839 Patriots open to seven point favorite. They're favorite by six 0:42:25.880 --> 0:42:28.560 and a half. It's cloudy forty three degrees that kick 0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:34.240 off at Gillette Stadium. In this game, I'm a glutton 0:42:34.280 --> 0:42:38.200 for punishment. I'm gonna take the Dallas Cowboys here. Uh 0:42:38.239 --> 0:42:41.200 and I'll tell you why the Patriots first of all, 0:42:41.440 --> 0:42:44.280 are are again going to have to ride their defense 0:42:44.320 --> 0:42:47.799 to slow down Dallas. New England's offensive second rate now, 0:42:47.880 --> 0:42:52.480 Mohammed Sanu, how do you do is out? Uh, there's 0:42:52.600 --> 0:42:57.160 no separation, no separation from the receivers to the defensive backs. 0:42:57.200 --> 0:42:59.719 And as a result, Tom Brady is twenty nine and 0:43:00.040 --> 0:43:02.840 arts per attempt. Over the last four weeks, Brady is 0:43:02.960 --> 0:43:06.600 averaging just five point three yards per attempt. The bad 0:43:06.680 --> 0:43:10.719 news Bears is the Patriot offense. Now, despite that, New 0:43:10.719 --> 0:43:14.720 England owns an average home margin of victory of twenty 0:43:15.000 --> 0:43:17.719 point three points, beating up on the Jets and the 0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:21.760 other terrible teams in that division. That is a positive 0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:24.239 sign for the Patriots. And this is their first game 0:43:24.280 --> 0:43:27.160 at Gillette since October seven. They've been on the road 0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:31.200 of late. But the second thing, for some reason, Dak 0:43:31.239 --> 0:43:34.359 Prescott has been rolling along. He's trying to lose the 0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:38.440 moniker ding dunk Dak dancin dunke Dyak. He's trying to 0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:42.040 lose that moniker in Dallas. He has feasted on some 0:43:42.120 --> 0:43:46.560 bad pass defenses. Uh. And and I don't obviously the 0:43:46.560 --> 0:43:50.200 Patriots don't have a bad past defense here, I figure 0:43:50.200 --> 0:43:53.160 the Cowboys should be able to slow down Zeke Elliott. 0:43:53.680 --> 0:43:56.319 And and here's the thing. Dak Prescott's got a four 0:43:56.400 --> 0:44:00.040 game stretch of three seventy five plus passing yards in 0:44:00.160 --> 0:44:04.120 two plus passing touchdowns. That's tight for the second most 0:44:04.200 --> 0:44:08.640 in a single NFL season in history. And now Prescott, 0:44:08.680 --> 0:44:11.080 though he goes from the junior varsity to the varsity, 0:44:11.120 --> 0:44:14.200 in terms of competition, you would assume the position that 0:44:14.280 --> 0:44:17.800 Bill Belichick has a strategic advantage against Jason Garrett. I 0:44:17.800 --> 0:44:19.719 think that goes without saying if it comes down to 0:44:19.880 --> 0:44:23.400 X and os in the fourth quarter. But the Patriots 0:44:23.480 --> 0:44:25.279 right now are a two dimensional team. They're not a 0:44:25.280 --> 0:44:29.240 three dimensional team. Their defense and special teams. Tom Brady 0:44:29.760 --> 0:44:32.000 is playing like an old guy. He's got no weapons. 0:44:32.840 --> 0:44:35.239 So I just can't lay a touchdown. And I don't 0:44:35.280 --> 0:44:38.440 like Dallas is terrible. I don't think they're horrible. So 0:44:38.480 --> 0:44:42.880 I will take the points. Patriots twenty four, Cowboys twenty one. 0:44:45.040 --> 0:44:47.200 Penny going with the home team, Going with the Patriots 0:44:47.360 --> 0:44:50.359 all right? Next up Sunday Night Football, Green Bay eight 0:44:50.400 --> 0:44:54.160 and two at Santa Clara nine and one. Now, should 0:44:54.160 --> 0:44:56.080 I should I watch this game? Should I? Stay home 0:44:56.080 --> 0:44:58.400 and watch this game? Or should I go to watch 0:44:58.440 --> 0:45:02.040 an NBA game? And then why this on my laptop depends? 0:45:02.080 --> 0:45:06.000 Will you be getting any kind of inflammatory pictures on 0:45:06.080 --> 0:45:11.160 your laptop? Oh? Probably not? Probably not? Then yeah, you should? 0:45:11.200 --> 0:45:14.359 You should stay home? Then I should stay home? All right, 0:45:14.400 --> 0:45:17.600 I'll stay home. Then, uh, it's on NBC. Al Michaels 0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:21.960 and Chris Collinsworth your knucklehead forty Niners inside jokes gascon 0:45:22.239 --> 0:45:25.200 forty Niners opened a three point favorite. The line has 0:45:25.239 --> 0:45:27.320 stayed the same. It will be fifty nine and clear 0:45:27.320 --> 0:45:30.960 at kickoff at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. I'm gonna 0:45:30.960 --> 0:45:34.200 take the Niners in this game. I don't trust the Packers. 0:45:34.200 --> 0:45:37.000 Aaron Rodgers still holds a grudge, I know, against the 0:45:37.080 --> 0:45:40.880 Niners for not drafting him back in the day. Now 0:45:41.080 --> 0:45:43.919 he has a chance at more vengeance here. Rogers has 0:45:43.960 --> 0:45:47.680 been the hope Diamond, right, he has been the hope 0:45:47.719 --> 0:45:52.120 Diamond in these primetime games. Rogers has eighteen touchdowns versus 0:45:52.160 --> 0:45:55.680 one interception in his last seven Sunday Night games. So 0:45:56.080 --> 0:45:58.880 not only does Chris Collinsworth get aroused and Al Michaels 0:45:58.920 --> 0:46:01.279 when they see Aaron, which Apparently it works both ways. 0:46:01.920 --> 0:46:04.839 Apparently it works both ways. Packers are arrested. They're coming 0:46:04.880 --> 0:46:07.080 off the bye week. That said, I don't trust as 0:46:07.120 --> 0:46:10.080 I said the Packers here. They got molly wopped by 0:46:10.080 --> 0:46:13.000 the Chargers the last time they went west on their 0:46:13.040 --> 0:46:18.239 stage coach to southern California. Secondly, the forty Niners, they 0:46:18.320 --> 0:46:23.520 are getting some reinformers, reinforcements back. Now. The key thing 0:46:23.600 --> 0:46:25.600 at the time we're recording the podcast, we don't know 0:46:25.600 --> 0:46:27.720 whether or not George Kittle is going to play, although 0:46:27.719 --> 0:46:30.720 it seems like he's tracking that way. Kittle is about 0:46:32.480 --> 0:46:35.880 of the Niners offense. If he plays, I love the 0:46:35.960 --> 0:46:38.720 forty Niners. If he doesn't play, I still like the Niners. 0:46:38.719 --> 0:46:40.880 I don't love them. This is a chance for the 0:46:40.880 --> 0:46:44.560 forty Niners to get some cashet back in NFL circles 0:46:44.600 --> 0:46:46.839 after they lost to the Seahawks a couple of weeks ago. 0:46:46.920 --> 0:46:49.319 They had to come back to beat the Cardinals last week. 0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:52.880 I expect Jimmy g to play well. Love Nick bo 0:46:53.000 --> 0:46:55.520 said the forty Niners defense to clog things up for 0:46:55.560 --> 0:46:59.800 Aaron Rodgers. He is the better quarterback, but the Niners 0:47:00.000 --> 0:47:03.040 are the better team in this matchup from top to bottom. 0:47:03.080 --> 0:47:07.520 Plus the public is loading up on the cheeseheads as 0:47:07.520 --> 0:47:10.920 an underdog here, I like betting against the dumb dumbs 0:47:11.200 --> 0:47:20.200 forty Niners, thirty three Packers. Penny gone, go Pat go Alright, 0:47:20.280 --> 0:47:23.760 last game game, excited about this last week. We should 0:47:23.760 --> 0:47:26.359 take about twenty minutes to break your This last game 0:47:26.400 --> 0:47:29.480 is fitting for you because your team is awful right now. Offensively, 0:47:30.080 --> 0:47:32.239 that's all right, they're great defensively, So you look at 0:47:32.280 --> 0:47:34.640 your negative. I'm a positive guy. Look at the positive. 0:47:34.680 --> 0:47:37.360 You look at the negative now. Monday Night Football Baltimore 0:47:37.440 --> 0:47:40.040 eight and two, The L A r i AM six 0:47:40.040 --> 0:47:44.319 and four, and David Gascon's Hero Joe Testa Tour has 0:47:44.360 --> 0:47:47.640 the Call on ESPN with Booger McFarlan from the Los 0:47:47.680 --> 0:47:52.640 Angeles Colosseum in Los Los Angeles. Memorial comes. What do 0:47:52.719 --> 0:47:58.640 we memorializing now? The death of the Rams offense. It's 0:47:58.719 --> 0:48:01.279 a clear and sixty six degrees that kick off The 0:48:01.400 --> 0:48:04.520 Ravens opened a pick him. This game was a pick 0:48:04.560 --> 0:48:07.320 in Baltimore is now three and a half point road favorite. 0:48:07.360 --> 0:48:10.000 Are you kidding me? You gotta take the Rams in 0:48:10.040 --> 0:48:13.120 this game. That's the right side from pillar to post. 0:48:13.560 --> 0:48:16.120 Lamar Jackson is the talk of the NFL. This guy 0:48:16.200 --> 0:48:19.640 is skyrocketed up the charts because of his play on 0:48:19.640 --> 0:48:22.160 the field and that the media there they can't say 0:48:22.280 --> 0:48:25.319 enough nice things and throw all kinds of accolades and 0:48:25.360 --> 0:48:30.040 platitudes at Lamar Jackson. And he has had some goose 0:48:30.120 --> 0:48:34.400 bump causing breathtaking plays. At times he has been a 0:48:34.400 --> 0:48:38.400 show stopper. He's also a ticking time bomb. Lamar is 0:48:38.480 --> 0:48:41.799 exposed to injury more than any other quarterback in the 0:48:41.920 --> 0:48:44.680 NFL because of all the running that he does. He's 0:48:44.719 --> 0:48:47.759 also got a bullseye on his back and he's going 0:48:47.800 --> 0:48:52.280 against a hungry, hungry old Aaron Donald and the Rams defense. 0:48:52.360 --> 0:48:55.080 They have the kind of defense that can send Lamar 0:48:55.160 --> 0:48:59.160 Jackson to the injury tent. And also under John Harbaugh, 0:48:59.200 --> 0:49:03.360 the Ravens as road favorites, only have a three ninety 0:49:03.440 --> 0:49:07.239 five winning percentage in this kind of a spot. Over 0:49:07.320 --> 0:49:12.080 the years be the Rams. They have gone from the 0:49:12.120 --> 0:49:14.960 greatest show on grass, which is what they were last year. 0:49:15.360 --> 0:49:17.120 The last couple of years, the Rams now have to 0:49:17.120 --> 0:49:20.520 win grinded out games. They have They have no muscle 0:49:20.560 --> 0:49:23.880 on offense. Jared Golf has been a dog's lunch. Todd 0:49:23.920 --> 0:49:27.800 Gurley's unreliable. The hope is that Brandon Cooks and Robert 0:49:27.800 --> 0:49:30.759 Woods coming back as receivers will inspire the spark of 0:49:30.800 --> 0:49:34.880 life here. But l a strength has been defensively. It 0:49:34.960 --> 0:49:39.600 has been against the run. How do you beat Baltimore? 0:49:39.600 --> 0:49:42.120 You gotta slow down the running game. Forced Lamar Jackson 0:49:42.120 --> 0:49:43.720 the beat you with the arm if he does find 0:49:44.239 --> 0:49:47.520 The Ravens lead the NFL and rushing yards. They're the 0:49:47.560 --> 0:49:50.520 first team since the seventies to have two thousand plus 0:49:50.880 --> 0:49:53.879 rushing yards the first ten games. Marcus Peters I saw 0:49:53.960 --> 0:49:55.439 his quote this week. He said he has no bad 0:49:55.440 --> 0:49:59.839 blood against the Rams. He's very well in Baltimore. He's 0:49:59.840 --> 0:50:03.520 he's had more big plays. Uh in Baltimore. They need 0:50:03.520 --> 0:50:06.680 his entire time with the Rams. Uh. He's a boomer 0:50:06.719 --> 0:50:09.279 Bus defensive back. He's as just as likely to pick 0:50:09.320 --> 0:50:11.000 off Jared Golf a couple of times as he is 0:50:11.040 --> 0:50:14.600 to get burned a couple of times. Uh in this game. 0:50:14.600 --> 0:50:16.520 But the Rams defense has been playing great the last 0:50:16.600 --> 0:50:18.880 four weeks in one of the top defenses in the 0:50:18.960 --> 0:50:24.160 National Football League statistically, and the Ravens. You look at 0:50:24.160 --> 0:50:26.160 this going from East to West. I think they're gonna 0:50:26.160 --> 0:50:28.759 be spending their their brief time in l A on 0:50:28.880 --> 0:50:32.879 rodeo drive in the Hollywood Hills and going over all 0:50:32.880 --> 0:50:37.399 over the hotspots in southern California. There and the Rams 0:50:37.719 --> 0:50:43.080 a good team Home Dog Baltimore is overdue for some 0:50:43.120 --> 0:50:48.440 regression to the mean Rams seven Ravens in a thriller. 0:50:50.040 --> 0:50:51.800 You can't really ram it all day and ram it 0:50:51.880 --> 0:50:56.080 all night. And the final pick of the Petty Petty 0:50:56.080 --> 0:51:01.440 also going that way with the Los Angeles Penny in agreement. 0:51:01.800 --> 0:51:04.560 All right, that'll put the bow, put the baby to bed, 0:51:04.600 --> 0:51:06.600 as they say here, put the bowl on the package. 0:51:07.160 --> 0:51:10.280 As the Benny Versus the Penny for week number twelve 0:51:11.280 --> 0:51:13.719 is in the books. Thank you for listening, Tell a friend. 0:51:13.800 --> 0:51:16.600 But yes, yes, we need to ask some of the 0:51:16.600 --> 0:51:19.160 the fans of Benny Versus the Penny to give us 0:51:19.200 --> 0:51:20.879 some of their results over the course of the first 0:51:20.880 --> 0:51:23.439 eleven and twelve weeks. Now one no, no, no, because 0:51:23.440 --> 0:51:27.000 everyone was sending, oh, you gotta send the picks in 0:51:27.040 --> 0:51:29.560 before games. Yeah, but didn't you had a listener last year? 0:51:29.640 --> 0:51:33.000 Didn't he take home like a jackpot prize from from 0:51:33.000 --> 0:51:36.640 following some picks? We well we had the guy that 0:51:36.760 --> 0:51:41.279 won the big gambling the Vegas contest was a mallar 0:51:41.360 --> 0:51:44.560 militia guy. Yea, And yeah, we had him on as 0:51:44.600 --> 0:51:48.080 a guest. He's a personal chef from Orange County and 0:51:48.160 --> 0:51:54.719 he won millions of dollars in Vegas picking NFL games. 0:51:55.160 --> 0:51:57.320 And he did say I believe he was being sarcastic 0:51:57.320 --> 0:52:00.239 that Benny versus the penny had influenced them maybe a did. 0:52:01.400 --> 0:52:03.600 I'm going with it. Why not? Of course, Man, we 0:52:03.640 --> 0:52:05.759 need to get this thing off the ground. Yeah, we 0:52:05.760 --> 0:52:08.560 we do. And and we need some some live commercial reads, 0:52:08.719 --> 0:52:11.160 paid live commercial reads. We need that, guscon do we 0:52:11.200 --> 0:52:12.920 have that as we we do not have that, as 0:52:12.960 --> 0:52:16.200 they would say in the industry, we were efforting that. Yeah. 0:52:16.200 --> 0:52:20.719 But the guy's name is Eric and cuisine. I don't know, 0:52:20.719 --> 0:52:23.440 he's like he was like a personal chef, but he 0:52:23.440 --> 0:52:26.479 he won, and uh we had him on the show 0:52:26.520 --> 0:52:29.000 and all that stuff, and uh he's he was he's 0:52:29.080 --> 0:52:32.759 called the show before before he became a celebrity and 0:52:32.800 --> 0:52:35.680 all that, and we had him I think that was 0:52:35.719 --> 0:52:39.359 back in January. Uh, so we had him on. He lives, Uh, 0:52:39.440 --> 0:52:40.640 I don't want to see where he lives. But he 0:52:40.680 --> 0:52:42.759 lives in a place I used to live. So you 0:52:42.800 --> 0:52:45.960 said Orange County exactly, I might say the city though, 0:52:46.480 --> 0:52:50.200 Newport Beach. I didn't live in Laguna.
