We 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:16.960 are back at not a great weekend last weekend. We 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:18.600 don't have a lot of time to play grab bass here, 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.079 but thank you for downloading this podcast. And this is 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.880 an informative information based podcast giving opinions on all the 0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:28.160 NFL games. You should not only go on the you 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:30.040 shouldn't bet everything I've been is what I'm trying to 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:32.360 say here. Um, but if you're a gambler and you 0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:34.400 have an opinion on a certain game, if I agree 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:36.479 with it, that I always say that's that should be 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:38.879 the thing that pushes you over the edge. There, But 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:42.600 don't lose touch with reality. I've been very hot this year. Uh, 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:47.800 it's it's very um thinly based, shall we say. I 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.080 believe I will continue to win. But uh, years past 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:55.120 years and years of data, Uh does not go well anyway? 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.280 This week we will not. We have we have the 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.000 no Browns, no Panthers, no snow Steelers. They're all on 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.440 the bye week now. David Gascon is the voice of 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:08.400 the Penny and so Gascon, how did we do last week? 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:12.960 Before we look ahead? You were awful five and nine. No, 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:14.920 I think I was like six and eight. No, no, 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:19.320 you're five. No, no, you're five. I think you're wrong. No, 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.920 no, no no, no, no. You got Arizona or you got Carolina. Correct, 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.640 you got Minnesota and Arizona. And Arizona they covered against 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.080 they were an underdog against Atlanta. They covered the Lions. 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.240 Uh the lines, they covered, that's right, and that's it. 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.600 And the Jets. Okay, I don't have it in front 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.040 of me, but I think I believe I did better 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:42.720 than your saying. But it doesn't matter that I had 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.840 a bad week. It was not good. I lost my shirt. Um, 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.160 and I will do better. I I like the card 0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.560 this week better. I didn't really like the card last week. UM. 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.080 I feel like there's some more games I have a 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.480 good feel on that are in the spotlight this weekend. 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.560 So we'll see see what's going on with that. Let's 0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:01.440 make some money, all right. Arizona to three and one 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.760 at the New York Giants. It's on Fox. Check this out. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:09.240 Kenny Albert's working with Greg Olsen, the former. Actually he's 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.320 still playing. He's in the NFL with Carolina. They're gonna 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.560 bye week this week. So Greg Olsen slides into the 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.120 fox box that rocks with Kenny Albert. Thanks to my 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:19.400 friends Sports with Coleman for for letting me know. Uh. 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.639 I thought Kenny normally works with one of the Barber brothers, 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.680 but he's gonna work with Greg Olson here. Uh. The 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:28.520 Giants opened a three point favorite. The line is still three. 0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:32.520 It's mc cloudy degrees at MetLife Stadium for this game, 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.240 so the weather's not a factor. I'm gonna take the 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.079 Giants in this game. I've been on the Cardinals the 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:39.080 last couple of games. Um, you know it's it's appropriate 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:43.040 that Kyler Murray, who's the size of a high school freshman, um, 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.720 is that way because the Cardinals are in the junk 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:50.280 food portion of their schedule Bengals, Falcons and now Giants, 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.360 and you're you're never supposed to choke on cream puffs. 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:57.840 Now Arizona is a cream puff. Kyler Murray sycophants or delusion. 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:02.840 He's done okay, but let's not go overboard. Uh. This 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.160 is another game against a dreadful defense where Murray should 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.480 put up some numbers. New York is twenty eight in 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:13.440 the NFL. Defensively, they can't stop anybody uh And secondly, 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.160 Big Blue. The Giants are dead last and giveaways per game, 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.680 they ranked thirty second, neck and neck with the Cleveland Browns. 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:24.040 And in one of the keys to this game obviously 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.840 is the Giants, say Kwan Barkley, he was apparently backed 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.240 the information we have he missed the last couple of games. 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.160 How effective he'll be after that high ankle sprain isn't 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.200 an open question. The jury is still out on that um. 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:37.840 He suffered that back in week three. But Evan Ingram, 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:39.840 the tight end also is back. So they're getting a 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:44.560 couple of playmakers. You've got Golden Tates still there, and 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:50.720 Arizona is actually worse defensively then the Giants their thirtieth 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.560 in the NFL defensively the g men. So I expect 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.120 this to be a seesaw kind of a game. But 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:58.840 in the end, I believe the New York Giants at 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:03.680 home will ween and cover. Giants thirty four, Cardinals thirty. 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:09.320 Harryett Mode Penny is also going with the New York Giants. Alright, 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:11.720 Houston four and two in Indianapolis three and two. It's 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.560 on CBS with Greg Gumble and Trent Green on the call. 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.840 The Colts opened a two and a half point favorite. 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.440 Public loves the Texans, so the culture down to a 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.920 one point favorite. Games in a dome at Lucas Oil Stadium, 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.320 but outside the dome it will be sixty five. I 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:31.280 stay in Indianapolis, mostly cloudy on Sunday, I'm gonna take 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:33.840 the Colt. I'll tell you why. First of all, this 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.080 is a huge letdown spot. I like the psychology of 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.039 sports gambling. I believe this is a letdown spot for 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.280 the Texans. I know it's a divisional game, but the 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.520 Texas are the toast of the NFL in many respects. 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:47.360 The talking heads are slabber slabber lick lick all over 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.280 the Texans after they want an arrowhead. Last week winning 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.760 the fourth quarter, they were trailing going to the fourth quarter. 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.400 They won the game, fell behind big early, so everyone's 0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.960 been massaging Deshaun Watson and and you know his fan 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:04.320 boys there. It was orgasmic for them. But the train 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.159 keeps moving and Indianapolis is a good spot for Indye. 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.479 They stepped on the booby trap in their last game 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.119 before the bye. They lost to the Raiders. Uh, and 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:18.679 you're gonna get a hungry motivated, focused Colts team looking 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.200 to get that bad taste out of their mouth, and 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:25.600 you got a satisfied Texans team to a point. And also, 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.080 Jacobe Bristette, this is one of the teams he's actually 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.760 played pretty well against in his career. He's yet to 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.080 throw an interception's one of all three games as a 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:37.320 quarterback against the Texans in his career. And the other 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.520 thing about Indies are very hard to play in the 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:43.840 sense that they're like a chameleon on office. They changed 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.479 their style from week to week depending on who they're 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.560 playing to attack the weaknesses of the opponent, which means 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:53.320 they're a versatile team. And you know, the other thing 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.680 is Houston's just due to cool off. The law of 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.560 averages plays in here. They've had sixties six first downs 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:03.000 the last two games. Sixty six first downs the last 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:05.320 two games, which is more of a testimonial to the 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:09.039 Falcons and the Chiefs. Indianapolis is a better defensive team. 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.560 They should show some resistance here. Colts six, Texans twenty 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.520 compending like you to go with the Colts. Be sure 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.280 to catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.880 at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.520 Radio and the I Heart Radio app. All Right, Next 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:33.800 up Miami, oh and five at Buffalo four and one 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:38.039 is on CBS. Andrew Catalan and James Lofton have the call. 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.360 The Bills open the fifteen and a half point favorite. 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:45.840 They are favored by seventeen degrees at New Era Field 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.359 the fifty seven at kickoff in Orchard Park, New York. 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.880 I am gonna take Buffalo in this game. The main 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.080 reason the Dolphins of the peasants of the NFL. They 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:57.719 are the undomesticated animals of the pigskin. See uh. And 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.080 this is pretty much a show up and win situation. Know, 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:04.760 obviously the big question on this Buffalo Miami game is 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:08.279 can you cover that number? Buffalo is an offensively challenged 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.760 football team, at least that's the public perception. That's a 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:15.560 lot of real estate to navigate with Josh mistake prone 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:19.520 Allen as quarterback. But there are it's more than one 0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:21.200 way to bake a cake. Because I like to say so, 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.760 defense and running the ball, and the Dolphins are going 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:28.960 with Ryan Fitzpatrick, who will guaranteed at least have a 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.880 fumble and an interception or two interceptions, something like that 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:34.760 as he gets the start, it wouldn't It wouldn't really 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.920 matter whether same or Josh Rose Fitzpatrick could actually throw 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.000 a couple of touchdown passes, which would screw you up. 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.120 But the Bills, even though they're not thought of as 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:47.240 a great offensive team, they have outgained their opponents by 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.640 nineties seven total net yards per game. That's fifth best 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.080 in the NFL. The Dolphins have been out gained by 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.200 over two hundred yards per game, the worst in the NFL. 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:58.480 Um by the way, the Jets of the second worst 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.120 and about sixty yards better than the Dolphins. But I'm 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.960 riding the Buffalo defense. I'm gonna ride with the Bills. 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:08.280 Mafi here crushed the tables and hope that Frank Gore 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.880 in the running game are able to find Peytir enough. 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.880 The other thing is the public keeps betting on the Dolphins. 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.560 They're not even trying to win in the dummies in 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.440 the gambling public keep betting on Miami. They said, oh, 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.720 seventeen points. They must think Dan Marino's playing for the Dolphins. 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:30.040 Buffalo thirty one, Dolphins ten. You're final. It's a divisional game. 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.240 Penny is also going with the Miami Dolphins. Never mind 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.200 all that it's a divisional game, but when one team 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.120 is not trying, you don't you lay the points? All right? 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.760 Moving on Minnesota four and two at Detroit to two 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:47.360 and one. It's on Fox. Brandon Gotten and Chris Bielman 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:49.720 have the CoA. Why aren't you doing this game? Well, 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.679 we'll talk about that when we go have dinner with 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:57.080 your buddy Kenny Albert trying to ride my cotips. Just 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.760 talking about play by play teams and anyways, come on, 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:02.920 let's go. Be sure to catch live editions of The 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:07.480 Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.840 Vikings open, Yeah, I know I wanna avoid that. Vikings 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.440 open to pick him. They are one and a half 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.520 point favorites. It's gonna be in a dorm at Ford Field, 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.640 and it's the weather's not bad and destroyed at kick off. 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.800 I'm gonna take the Vikings in this game. This is 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:23.560 a game that was a bit of a toss up 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.960 for me, which Kirk Cousins is gonna show up. Cousins 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:30.200 had six touchdowns over the last two games against weaker defenses. 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:35.160 Yeah you Philadelphia, Their secondary sucks and recorded just three 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.360 across his first four games. Now I am drinking the 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:42.120 Purple Kool eight. I'm betting on Cousins getting the job 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.440 done here. But we cannot be oblivious to the fact 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:47.760 that he has been like a swing. He's up and 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.880 down from game to game and in his Minnesota tenure. 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:54.520 And the Lions are a better defensive team. Um, you 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:58.360 wonder where they're at mindset wise. After a stinging, heartbreaking, 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:02.440 hotel heart break, hotel loss at Lambo on Monday night, 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:05.480 they were given the Packers were given the game by 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:09.640 incompetence by the referees. But but I'm gonna take the Vikings. 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.319 I mean, Detroit has some pretty good names on defense. 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:16.320 The perception is they're a good defensive team, but statistically 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:20.520 they've been pulverized. They're giving up four hundred thirteen yards 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:25.079 per game the Lions this year. The Vikings, for a comparison, 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.559 are number five in defense in the NFL. So you've 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:32.520 got a much better Viking defense, and you know, Minnesota's 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.760 defensive a blitz happy attack, which that actually you know, 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.920 it's the game within the game. That doesn't necessarily help 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.960 the Vikings because Matthew Stafford has four touchdowns and no 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:47.880 interceptions against the Blitz. But despite it all, Vikings only 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:49.320 a one and a half point favorite. I don't know 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.520 on the road, I'm gonna take the Vikings twenty seven 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:56.439 Lions twenty four depending going that way as well. Go 0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:00.559 with Minnesota, all right? Next up Oakland three in two 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.720 at green Bay five and one. It's on CBS. Jim 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:09.120 Nance and Toe Knee row Mo have the call. The 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:13.800 Packers opened a seven point favorite. They are favored by 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.280 five and a half. It will be partly sunny in 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:21.640 fifties six degrees that kick off at Lambow Field. Well, 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.400 I don't like the fact that I agree with the 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:26.480 public on this, but I do. I'm gonna take the 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.240 Raiders all right. Now. First of all, the Packers are 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.240 proof it's better to be lucky than go. We just 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.000 told you they were given a game by the officials. 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:41.319 Green Bay has been the biggest beneficiary of officiating calls 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.680 going their away, meaning most yards gained from penalties on 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.840 the other team than any other team in the NFL's 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:50.439 not even close. So the Raiders are going into a 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.360 hornet's nest where they not only have to beat the Packers, 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:58.200 they have to beat the officials. It's like on eleven um. 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:00.800 So the Packers have a distinct advantage here. But I 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:05.240 think Green Bay is just over raded. I believe they're 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:07.640 over rated. H you know, people, So that's just how 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.199 could you just say that, you know, there's a couple 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:12.760 of these games that they should have lost that we're 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.319 given to them by the opposition. So if green Bay, 0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:18.440 let's say green Bay's three and three right now, the 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.320 perception is not, oh, they're great. The perception is whether 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.320 average And I don't know who the real Raiders are either, 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:26.839 to be honest with you, I mean the to me, 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:30.199 the Raiders in Detroit are about even and in Oakland 0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.480 is the rested team after the bye week? Is they 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:38.440 continue that nomad lifestyle, that football orphan lifestyle Packers coming 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:41.320 on the short week. Aaron Rodgers has been a garden 0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:45.440 variety quarterback. He's twenty in the NFL case, Keenum has 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.880 been more productive. Jacoby Brissette has been more productive, uh 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.439 in these games. Plus the other thing for for Green Bay, 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.800 I look at the psychology of this. This is a 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.480 peak of boot special. The Packers have a showcase game 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:04.360 next week with the Kansas City Chiefs now and this 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.240 is you know this is an out of conference game. 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.200 I know that's an out of conference game, but that's 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:11.600 a big highlight game for the NFL. So do they 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:15.280 get caught looking ahead? Packers will win, but will not 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:21.840 cover Packers two Raiders twenty three Penny also go with 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.040 the silver and bleak Oakland Raiders. All right, let's get 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:29.320 trivial Gardner Minshew, my guy Gardner, mishu. The second is 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:32.840 the third quarterbacks in the n eight hundred plus passing 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:37.480 yards and no interceptions through his first three career roads starts. 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:44.120 The other two we're Marcus Mariota and blank fill in 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.920 the blank. The answer coming up in a couple of minutes. 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.880 Speaking of Gardner Minshew. Jacksonville at Cincinnati Jacks two and 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:54.480 four Bengals oh and six. It is on CBS with 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:58.319 Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon. They have the call on 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.360 this game. Jacksonville opened up a three point road favorite. 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:03.680 They have actually been bet up to three and a half, 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:07.040 which should scare you a little bit because that's that 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.760 hook on the end of it. It's gonna be cloudy 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.280 sixties six degrees. A kick off at Paul Brown Stadium 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.760 in Cincinnati. I'm gonna take the Jags in this game. Uh, 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:18.680 And I think that's the only way. Either don't bet 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.320 the game, or you take Jacksonville Gardner minshew Mania. Uh. 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:24.560 They obviously ran into a brick wall last week. But 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:28.960 even with the offensive frailties, the Jags were tied with 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.840 Big Bad in New Orleans going to the fourth quarter 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.280 and it took a Teddy Bridgewater drive and a low 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.880 scoring game in the fourth quarter to win that for 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.160 New Orleans. So that's a that's a not a you know, 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.400 never a good loss, but that's a competitive loss for 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.200 Jacksonville against one of the better teams in the NFL. 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:51.360 And it's really hard to suck against the Bengals. They're 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:55.800 so sorrowful, right, this is the perfect rebound game. It's 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:59.160 stunning to see the Jags favorite on the road against anybody. 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.680 But it's really tribute to the incompetence of the Bengals 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.480 franchise that they're in that situation. The Bengals are trying 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.280 to go oh in sixteen, as you know, the front 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.600 office and all that, they have to lose this game 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:12.440 to get closer to that destination. The main reason to 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:17.160 like Jacksonville is Leonard fin four net. He should pillage 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:23.040 those dreadful Cincinnati Bengal linebackers. Jacksonville is averaging five point 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.280 one yards per carry, third best in the NFL. The 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:29.560 Bengals are allowing five point three yards per carry. That's 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:33.040 worst in the NFL. Now that tells you what has happened, 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:37.160 doesn't tell you what will happen. But the public is 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:41.320 all over Jacksonville, which I said, you know that scares me, um, 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:45.280 But listen, the Bengals were good or even somewhat competitive, 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.960 I would say, Okay, I'll roll the dice with Cincinnati 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.800 is a live home dog. But don't hold your breath. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.120 They're poorly coach. They have bad players. I know they're 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:57.840 getting some guys back, but the mistakes will continue. Jacksonville 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:03.720 the Bengals twenty penny going the other way, going with 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:07.680 the Bungles. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.440 lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:13.800 Fox sports Radio dot com and within the I Heart 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:17.400 Radio app search f s R to listen live. All Right, 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:19.160 we gotta pay off the instant or the instant the 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:24.080 let's get trivial Gardner Minshew the third quarterback since nineteen 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.560 fifty have eight hundred plus passing yards and no interception 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:31.320 through three his first three career road starts. The others 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:37.760 were Marcus Mariota, who's been benched in Tennessee back in blank. Yes, 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:41.280 I'm gonna go with Bernie Kosar's good name. You know, 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.880 that's Dick In Dayton's favorite Brown's quarterback is Bernie Kozar. 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.360 Nobody else is good on that team. Dick and Dayton 0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:50.000 loves him. Webster Slaughter, Ernest Biner, all those old Browns, 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:52.680 the fumble and uh and Dick would like to see 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.120 every time the Browns fire coach and executive. I said, hey, Deck, 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:57.360 who do you want to see the Browns hire? Dick 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.760 and Dayton will always tell me Bernie Kozar. Ben I 0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:03.160 think Bernie would be good. It's so funny. Um, But 0:17:03.240 --> 0:17:05.760 now the answer is he's a here's another good name, 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:10.560 Elvis Gerbach, Kansas City chiefs. Now he did with as 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.560 a rookie with the forty niners in nineteen ninety five. 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.040 So that goes way back. It's over twenty or something, 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.480 you know, almost twenty five years ago. You believe it's 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:24.080 been almost twenty five years that's a lot. Uh. Anyway, Anyway, 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.160 I remember talking about Elvis guir back on the radio 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.439 when he was playing, Uh yikes, all right, the l 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:33.760 a Rams three in three at Atlanta one in five 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:39.560 on Fox with Sam Rosen and Charles Davis calling this game. Now, 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.080 the Rams opened a four point road favorite. They are 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:46.880 favored by three. Mean a dome in Atlanta, light, rain, 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:51.080 sixty degrees outside, but inside, perfect conditions at the Mercedes 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:56.320 Benz Stadium. I'm taking the Rams, all right. The Falcons 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.359 went into Los Angeles upset the Rams in the playoff 0:17:58.359 --> 0:17:59.959 a couple of years ago. This is the first meetings 0:18:00.040 --> 0:18:02.000 since that game. You assume there's enough players on the 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.919 Rams that are still around that remember that this is 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:09.520 also the perfect vaccine, the magic elixir for what is 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:13.520 hurting the Rams. Everyone and their uncle gets healthy against 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:17.760 the Falcons. If the Rams lose this game, heads should 0:18:18.400 --> 0:18:21.800 roll under no circumstances. So they allowed to lose this game. 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.560 Now the questions when they cover the spread Under Sean McVeigh, 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:28.119 the Rams have played as road warriors, have done really well, 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:33.520 especially against crappy opponents. The problem is this version of 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:36.720 the Rams that they currently have has the worst starting 0:18:36.760 --> 0:18:39.560 offensive line in the NFL according to the advanced data, 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:42.679 not counting the Dolphins outside the Dolphins, who aren't even 0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:45.679 a real NFL team. Fortunately, though, the reason you like 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:49.160 the Rams here, Jared Golf is going against the Falcons defense, 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:53.720 which gargles tap water from Flint, Michigan. They're so bad. Uh. 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:57.320 Even even Marcus mari Oda a couple of weeks ago, 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.680 looked invincible against the dirty Birds defense at Alanta has 0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:05.879 allowed one thousand thirty four total yards the last two games. 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.880 That's the most surrendered by any team in a two 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:11.800 game span the entire year so far, including a league 0:19:11.800 --> 0:19:15.080 that has the Dolphins and the Bengals and the Redskins. 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.040 So and the other thing is the Ramps should be 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:20.600 foreign to Greg's oline. Mr gimme in Seattle. And if 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:22.800 the Rams were four into at this point instead of 0:19:22.840 --> 0:19:25.479 three in two or three and three, the public perception 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:28.080 would be much different. The line the Rams would be 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:31.240 probably favored by five or more points in this game. Um, 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.600 so you gotta adjust with that and say, well, they 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:35.440 should have won that game. And the other thing, there's 0:19:35.440 --> 0:19:37.680 a lot of soaking and winding going on in Atlanta. 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:40.440 Everyone's waiting for the guillotine to fall on the neck 0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.520 of Dan Quinn as he continues to hold on by 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:47.200 a threat as the sheriff of Hucklebee Um Huckleberry. But 0:19:47.200 --> 0:19:51.000 but the Dolphins in in Bengals are historically bad, so 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:56.360 Atlanta is getting a bit of a pass of criticism 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:58.360 and you don't have the full bull's eye on their 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:00.800 back and all that. But they have been playing powder 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:04.280 puff football in Georgia, UH this year. And you know 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.200 Matt Ryan will get his empty numbers, will pass for 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:08.199 three hundred yards and a couple of touchdowns and all 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:11.840 that stuff. But you know, plenty of ineptitude and clumsy 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:14.639 in this UH. And hopefully Jalen Ramsey will play and 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.720 he'll he'll shut down Julio Jones or contain him. And 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:19.440 the Browns will have a bunch of drop passes, a 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:21.639 bunch of fumbles, a bunch of players slipping and falling. 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.120 It's like a football follies video, and the Rams will 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:27.119 feel good about themselves and they'll get the four and 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:33.600 three Rams, thirty falcons twenty damn right man, damn right. 0:20:33.640 --> 0:20:36.760 I love that play that more. Penny's also going with 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:39.959 the Rams. They gotta win more. They had to win 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.359 more in the Rams. Penny can't pa playing that unless 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:44.680 they start winning. Playing like a bunch of chops three 0:20:44.720 --> 0:20:47.639 and three. They got man handled last week. They're right 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:49.639 in the middle of the bell. They were grabbing ankles 0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:52.200 last week. It was embarrassing. You do that every weekend, 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:56.920 All right, let's get trivial. He set me up, man, 0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:58.840 You're like, that was like a John Stockton passed a 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:00.800 carm alone back with the old as you thought, yead, 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:03.840 you can sent me up that. That was a an 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:07.560 alley pass from Russell Westbrook to James Arber Christy. Come on, 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:11.760 all right, let's get trivial. The Redskins earned their first 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:16.000 win of the season in interim coach Bill Callahan's debut. Now, 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.119 Callaghan is bidding to become the fifth Redskins coach to 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:24.119 win his first two games, the first since blank. The 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:26.640 answer coming up. Speaking of the Redskins, they play host 0:21:26.720 --> 0:21:29.080 to Santa Clara. The Santa Clara forty niners of five 0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:32.560 and oh Redskins are one in five. It's on Fox. 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:36.000 My former colleague Chris Myers, part of the Fox Sports 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:40.880 Radio Alumni Association, and Darryl Moose Johnston have the call. 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.520 The Niners opened to nine and a half point favorite. 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:46.199 They're currently favored by nine and athro line has not 0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:49.600 changed to be cloudy in fifty nine and landover Maryland 0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:54.399 at FedEx Field. Uh and against my better judgment, I'm 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:56.840 gonna take the Redskins here and I'll tell you why 0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:58.800 I bet on bad teams. First of all, this is 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:02.760 a classic letdowns about the Niners. Have played prime time game. 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:05.800 They played prime time game against the Browns Monday Night Football. 0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:09.359 They follow that up with a key NFC West game 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:12.080 for them against the Rams. They got a lot of attention, 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:15.880 and they have another game which is much more important 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:19.600 as far as the the NFL power structure, the totem 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:22.720
