1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: What is up, Straight Fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre,

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: Straight boyer for Friday, November the fourteenth. A decent Thursday

4
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: night football game last night. Hey, listen, it was an

5
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: upgrade over Broncos Raiders last week, and hell, you could

6
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: argue it was an upgrade over Packers Eagles on Monday

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: Night football. My Jets, this was like almost an ideal loss,

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: if you will. They fight hard, take a seven to

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 2: nothing lead, They're within one score heading into the fourth quarter, right,

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: so it's competitive. They lose. Now, I told you guys,

11
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: I bet the Patriots. They covered every number except fourteen. Now,

12
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 2: I don't think it was on fourteen. Long. I feel

13
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 2: like everybody won on this one, with the Patriots covering

14
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: eleven and a half, twelve and a half, thirteen, twelve

15
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: and a half, thirteen was a push and they dropped

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: to two and eight. Now, listen, the one wrinkle is

17
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 2: in survivor. You know, we realized that like fifty percent

18
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: of the pool was on the Patriots. So for like

19
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: ten minutes, I was like, please, Jets, can you get

20
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 2: the dub. I'll take the gambling losses to knock out

21
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: half the pool and survivor Jets could not do it.

22
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: Justin Fields the opening drive of the Jets, where basically

23
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: Justin Fields was running on every other play, reminded me

24
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: of Riley Leonard at Notre Dame last year against Ohio State.

25
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: Basically Notre Dame shot their wade with Riley Leonard running

26
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: every play. Seemingly they get the touchdown in the lead,

27
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: everybody's fired up, and then reality struck because they like

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: had no CounterPunch, you know, So the Jets essentially came

29
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: out opening drive. Hey, you know, Breise Hall is doing

30
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: some things, Justin Field's doing some things, but ultimately the

31
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: Jets had no offense whatsoever without Garrett Wilson and without

32
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: a quarterback is a rough, rough offensive unit. Justin Field's

33
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: throwing for a whopping one hundred and sixteen yards. He

34
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: rushed for sixty seven. The Jets had one explosive play

35
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: all game, and it was a touchdown. It was to

36
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: John Metchi a twenty two yarder. Target share ad and

37
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: I Mitchell one catch on six targets, the new guy

38
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: from the Colts getting worked into the offense. Ideally, the

39
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: Jets can get a wide you know, there's a lot

40
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: of options in the draft, and I don't know that

41
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: Mendoz is going to be the guy for the Jets.

42
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: We'll see, but they needed a number two receiver for sure,

43
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: to go next to Wilson and then Adam I Mitchell,

44
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: I think has a really put good three kind of

45
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: your streaky downfield guy in the say, Christian Watson role.

46
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 2: Mitchell's got some wheels. I think he's got a lot

47
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: of potential. He's a young guy that he was a

48
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: throw in on the Quinn Williams deall He's only twenty

49
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: three years old. It's early Breese Hall. I'm glad they

50
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: kept him and Braylin Allen should be back here in

51
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. The tough running back out of Wisconsin,

52
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 2: young kid. I'm just I like the Jets' future. It's

53
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 2: just not right now for the Patriots. Hey, Drake May

54
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: continues to look incredible. Treveon Henderson unbelievable. So someone in

55
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 2: my son's fantasy league dropped Henderson early this season, and

56
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: of course my son, needing a win this week to

57
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: get in the playoffs, has to face Henderson and he

58
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: drops twenty nine points last night. I mean that guy's good.

59
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: You know, he looks exactly like he did at Ohio State.

60
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: It's almost as if the Patriots said, you know what,

61
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: Henderson does this, that and the other really, well, let's

62
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: just have him do that. No Romandre Stevenson, and Henderson

63
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: goes for sixty two and two touchdowns on the ground.

64
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: Jets run defense was actually quite good, but the pass

65
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: defense just hemorrhaging yards. Digs cooked them Nat Collins, Hunter Henry.

66
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: It was just like a total team effort. The problem

67
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 2: with the Jets pass defense, it's like Aftersauce, they don't

68
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: really have much. Brandon Stevens, who's a former Raven He's

69
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: just he's not very good, and they Jet's gonna have

70
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: to rebuild that secondary. You know, Stevens could probably I

71
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 2: don't know that he's a slot corner. He maybe could be,

72
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: you're one of your outside guys. But I don't know

73
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: what Aaron Glenn wants to do. I don't know if

74
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: he wants to play zone man. I don't know what

75
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: he's if he's gonna tinker justice draft needs accordingly. But

76
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: I do like the Jermaine Johnson, Will McDonald combo they

77
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: were getting after May it's just they just don't have enough,

78
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: you know. And now we've said enough about the Jets

79
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,679
Speaker 2: heading into the weekend. We will obviously do best bets

80
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 2: at the end of the podcast. So one quick piece

81
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: of NFL news before I jump into this Austin Reef stuff. So,

82
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: in a mild surprise, Brock Purdy is going to start

83
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 2: for the Niners against Arizona this weekend. Now, if you

84
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 2: want to be one of these conspiracy theorists, wait a minute.

85
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: Perdy hasn't really practiced much. What's going on? Is he

86
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: rushing back because Mac Jones just threw for three hundred

87
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: yards and a pretty efficient outing against the Rams and

88
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 2: a loss. Is that why Perdy's rushing back? This toe

89
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: has been befuddling. I don't know about you guys. I've

90
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: had a lot of injuries, hamstring, knee, ankle, quad, whatever.

91
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: I've never really had a major toe injury. But for

92
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: him to be out from week four, I don't totally

93
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 2: understand that. Perdy was limited in practice Wednesday and was

94
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: limited again Thursday, but Shanahan said, I'm sorry. He was

95
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: a full practice Thursday, and Shanahan said he's gonna start

96
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: against Arizona. Now here's the good news. Perdy is in

97
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 2: a good spot because the Arizona Cardinals' injury report is

98
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: just dotted with names. It's unclear if their best cornerback

99
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: Will Johnson is gonna go. He missed last week and

100
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: my goodness, JS and what nuts? So Marvin Harrison Junior

101
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 2: is down with an illness. Will Johnson still not practicing

102
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: with the back hip. They got a safety down, a

103
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: linebacker Mac Wilson down, another linebacker Browning down. Josh Sweat

104
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: did not practice. It's unclear he's listed his rest on

105
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 2: the injury report. But I'll be honest, if it's Thursday

106
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: and Josh Sweat's missing, I think something could be up.

107
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 2: We'll see, but this would be a great spot for

108
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: Purdy to kind of get back into the flow and

109
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: get the Niners cooking. Now here's the other mystery. Is

110
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: Ricky pearsoll gonna play? He's been at practice, he has

111
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: done nothing for weeks. He's been out with his knee injury.

112
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: What's up with Brandon Aiyuk? I just I can't get

113
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: over these Niners injuries. But they need him because they

114
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: will whoever loses Rams or Seahawks. The Niners instantly will

115
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 2: pick up ground if they beat Arizona. Problemse Arizona's kind

116
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 2: of good in Arizona. With Jacoby Brissette, I don't know

117
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: if there's enough tape on Brissette. And I think we

118
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: said this last week. You know, first couple of weeks

119
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, he's doing some things, and then it's like,

120
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: all right, we've seen Brissette a lot, we know his tendencies,

121
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: we know where he wants to go. And Seattle just

122
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: ate it up right and without Harrison and Zay Jones

123
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: now had the Achilles, it's basically the Trey McBride show.

124
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: I think the Niners can do well here and I'm

125
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: excited to see Perdy get back in the lineup. You

126
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: guys don't. I'm a big rock pretty fan.

Speaker 2: All right, I want to before we get the best bets.

132
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: I just need to get on this Austin Reeves stuff.

133
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 2: So on the Herd Thursday Coward and I you know,

134
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: we're talking about Austin Reeves because he's not as high

135
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: on Reeves as I am. And there was a report

136
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 2: that the Lakers have fielded twenty offers for Austin Reeves

137
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: in over a year because he's on that great contract,

138
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: and reportedly the Lakers said, we're not trading Reeves for

139
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: anybody unless it's Giannis or Jokich, which is kind of

140
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: comical but a good way to get people to stop calling.

141
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: With these low ball offers for Austin Reeves, we like

142
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: them a lot. So with the All Star Game this weekend,

143
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: they announced the new format for the All Star Game,

144
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: and it was like one of those ussa versus the World,

145
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: but it's kind of wonky because they're doing three teams,

146
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: two USA teams of eight, so sixteen USA players, and

147
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: one World team which is all international and there's some

148
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: round robin tournament blah blah blah. So they're gonna pick

149
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 2: the All Star players the same as it has been

150
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 2: for years. Fans and media vote for ten starters, five

151
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: from the East, five from the West, then a vote

152
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: of the coaches will select the seven backups. But the

153
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: one big difference is it's positionless. Fans will be able

154
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: to vote for five guards or I don't know. If

155
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: you want five centers to start, they will no longer

156
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: be locked into two backcourt and three front court players.

157
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: The same will be true for reserves. So the NBA

158
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 2: is going positionless. We know that, and they're gonna apply

159
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: it to the All Star Game. This is where it

160
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: gets interesting. Sixteen American players, the USA players, okay, are

161
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 2: gonna make the All Star Game. I am gonna challenge

162
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: you that Austin Reeves is among those sixteen, and you're

163
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 2: gonna hear that and say, well, there's no way Austin

164
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 2: Reeve is one of the best sixteen best American players

165
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 2: in the league. And I will say, actually, because of

166
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: injuries to Lebron to Halliburton, Halliburton would be on the

167
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: team for sure, Jason Tatum one hundred percent beyond the team.

168
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: I'm sure I'm forgetting someone else. Lebron probably would be

169
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: on the team. I don't know if you're gonna get

170
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 2: voted if you or are you ineligible for the All

171
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: Star Game if you only play I don't know twenty

172
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: of the forty five games when the All Star break

173
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: comes up, So we'll go through the best guys in

174
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: the league. Giannis obviously international SGA from Canada International. I

175
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: think Tabrese Max he's an All Star. I think Donovan

176
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 2: Mitchell's an All Star Jokic international. Would you guys believe

177
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: that Austin Reeves is sixth in the NBA in scoring

178
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: right now? I'm not even kidding. Six in the NBA

179
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: and scoring a twenty eighty game. Now you could say

180
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: it's a short hot streak. Fine, okay, oh whatever, I

181
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: don't care. Cave Cunningham is an American All Star. I

182
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: think Josh Giddy, the Australian, will push to be an

183
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: All Star if he keeps playing well. Bulls are kind

184
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: of falling off here, Water finds his level. James Harden's interesting.

185
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: I mean, he's fine, But is James Harden gonna get

186
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 2: the not over Austin Reeves? Now, I'm not asking you

187
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: if James Harden's better right now than Austin Reeves. Harden's

188
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 2: at twenty three and eight shooting thirty seven percent from three.

189
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves is at twenty eight and eight shooting thirty

190
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: percent from three. Harden has had some Kawhi, Austin has

191
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: had some Luca. So that's an interesting one. It's unclear

192
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: if Harden will get the not over Reeves, but right now,

193
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 2: I'll tell you like, John moramp Ain't getting the not

194
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 2: over Austin Reeves. There's no way that's happening. Stefan Castle

195
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: is young. I mean, he's having an incredible season. You

196
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: got guys like Sheng Goon International, I mean, Devin Booker

197
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: obviously USA. Now, Jalen Brunson went down with an injury.

198
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: He's gonna make the Austar team, but he's got this

199
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: ankle thing, probably gonna be out a week. And you

200
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 2: start looking at the Americans and you're like, oh, Austin

201
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: Reeves is actually a content. Lori Marknen will be international.

202
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 2: Steph Curry will make the American Jay Brown will make

203
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: the American Wemby International. And it's like Kevin Durant's gonna

204
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: make it. Amen Thompson probably will make it. Benko is

205
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 2: gonna get the vote. But you start asking, like, Okay,

206
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: Zach Lavine or Austin Reeves, who's more deserving than All

207
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: Star this year? I love Zach Lavine early. I mean

208
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves helped get them to a eight and three star. Obviously,

209
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: it's gonna tail off, Jamal Mrie International, Franz Wagner International,

210
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: and you start looking down the list and you're like,

211
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 2: I think Austin Reeves is in their interesting name to

212
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: watch is Jalen Johnson out of Atlanta. He is really

213
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: good and just had one of the great games of

214
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: the young season against the Jazz last night. Thirty one

215
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 2: eighteen boards, fourteen assists. That's an insane game. Obviously, everybody

216
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 2: knows the Hawks are going to be trying to build

217
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: around Jalen Johnson. He's the kid who went to do

218
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 2: during one of those COVID years and then quit because

219
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: they were kind of stinky, and everybody ripped him, and

220
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: I was like, this guy's immensely talented. He's a walking

221
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 2: double double and can play some point guard. He's got

222
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 2: a handle, he's a creator. I mean, this guy's good.

223
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 2: He's shooting forty percent from three this season. He's a

224
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: foundational piece. I don't know that he's going to be

225
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: an All Star above Austin Reeves, but I'm just telling

226
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: you right now. But given the injuries in the NBA

227
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: to USA players like Zion, he's always he's still hurt.

228
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: Austin Reeds is going to be one of the sixteen

229
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 2: American All Stars if this keeps up. Now, if he

230
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 2: tails off and he's averaging, you know, ten points a

231
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: game for a month, obviously not and Lebron's going to

232
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 2: eat into his numbers a little bit. But one would

233
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: think that Lakers will be a good contending team in

234
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 2: the West. So I know I'm a rationally high on

235
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 2: Austin Reeves. I dressed up as Austin Reeves on the Herd.

236
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you guys right now, given the new

237
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 2: All Star format and the injuries to some stars, I

238
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: believe Austin Reaves will be an All Star. Check back

239
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 2: with me in a couple months.

Speaker 2: of Straight Fire, because do you guys just want picks?

250
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: You don't want to learn about the process, just give

251
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: me the picks. J Mac. Anyways, here we go. We'll

252
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: start with college. I gotta admit not as huge of

253
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: a college football slate as normal because played in two

254
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: Mensley Championship games this week. Guys, come on priority. It's

255
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: got to lock in, and the college football slate is

256
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: not amazing. I haven't fired on nothing yet on Georgia, Texas.

257
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: I'm leaning Georgia. Nothing yet on Alabama Oklahoma. I see

258
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: some smart people liking Oklahoma just because Alabama hasn't crushed anyone.

259
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: I don't know. I haven't bet against Alabama at all

260
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: this season, but when I back them, my guy ty

261
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 2: Sinson delivers. Here we go. Penn State minus seven and

262
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: a half. Impressive showing last week against Indiana, and I

263
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: think they go to East Lanting and put it on

264
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: Michigan State. Michigan State's terrible. Penn State actually looks like

265
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 2: a competent program, like the guys are buying into whatever

266
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: the interim coach is selling. I got Iowa plus seven

267
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 2: plus seven minus one twenty. I went with that simply

268
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: because I don't really trust USC not to get caught

269
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: looking ahead. I think us he probably wins, but I

270
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 2: think it's a close game, and it's it's rain expected

271
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 2: at the coliseum. This one's a little ballsy. I'm on

272
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: Florida plus fourteen and a half, but the numbers going

273
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: my way down to thirteen and a half at Oxford

274
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 2: against Ole Miss. Ole Miss, of course, lost last year

275
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: to Florida, which cost him a spot in the College

276
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: Football Playoff. Everybody's saying, oh, revenge, revenge. Listen, Florida is

277
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: not great. I want to see who starts a quarterback

278
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: if Florida probably loses this by thirty. But you know what,

279
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a chance. I'm going Gators. I took

280
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: the points. Not a huge play, but I'm on Florida.

281
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: Let's see what else we got here, smaller plays. You

282
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: guys know, I love me some Texas Tech, so I

283
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: have them plus five hundred to make the college football Playoff.

284
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: That's from back in August. Feels like a lock. I

285
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: don't want to see a slip up here. They face

286
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: youc F this week. You see f as solid but

287
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 2: not nearly in the Texas Tech class. The line's twenty four.

288
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: So I took the points, just thinking a little bit

289
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: of a let down after the BYU game for Texas Tech.

290
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: I took the twenty four I am on Washington State

291
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: minus seven, rounding out what is not really a robust card. Now.

292
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 2: I have spent a lot of time on the NFL

293
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: this week. Most of it's because in the circle millions,

294
00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 2: which I weirdly keep saying is a three million dollar contest. Guys,

295
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: I was way way way off. It's a six million

296
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: dollar contest. Now. The good news is I'm competitive. I've

297
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 2: moved up to six hundred and eleventh, but I'm tied

298
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: for six hundred eleventh out of five thousand and before

299
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: you think, oh, you got no chance, Yeah, I get that.

300
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: I understand that. But the top I believe it's a

301
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: top one hundred get paid, and I'm not that far off.

302
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 2: I think I'm three games off of the top of

303
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: getting paid. That's with a long way to go, obviously,

304
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: So I spend a lot of time. I'll quickly buzz

305
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: through the games Washington Miami. Unfortunately, I have bet more

306
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 2: money on Miami in this spot than any other game

307
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: this week. I do not love that. I have a

308
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: lot of two and a half, so I have a

309
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: two I have some three. I just think Miami gets done.

310
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: But of course, listen, this is the Miami Dolphins we're

311
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: talking about. They're not a great football team. I have

312
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 2: a good line that I was gonna burn on the herd.

313
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: Let me know how this hits. The rain in Spain

314
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 2: falls mainly on a chan. I guess I need to

315
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: say a chain that doesn't ring it, that doesn't hit

316
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: as hard. Anyways, I don't think dan Quinn a company

317
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 2: could stop Miami's offense when they're humming and locked in.

318
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 2: One would hope think Daniels got them locked in. Panthers Falcons.

319
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 2: I have zero dollars on this game, but I'm leaning

320
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: Falcons minus three and a half. This is pretty much

321
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 2: season on the line for Atlanta if they want to

322
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 2: make any comeback. If you combine a Tampa loss in

323
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,639
Speaker 2: Buffalo with an Atlanta win, all of a sudden, it

324
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 2: gets interesting. They still have one more head to head matchup.

325
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 2: It was super close last time. Their kicker let them down.

326
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 2: Leaning Falcons nothing yet, I'm one of the Bills minus

327
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: five and a half against Tampa in what appears to

328
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: be a kind of a bad weather game. We talked

329
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: a lot with ta about this yesterday. I'm not going

330
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: to dig into it. Buffalo should bounce back here at

331
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: home against just not a great Tampa team. Guys, They're

332
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: just not great. They were winning with smoke and mirrors

333
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 2: earlier this season. Now they're injured. Doesn't seem like their

334
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 2: horses are back yet. Godwin's close, but I'm on the

335
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills minus five and a half half Texans Titans

336
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 2: is the tough one. You know, we want him in Survivor.

337
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: The lines dipped to six Davis Mills at the Helm.

338
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,239
Speaker 2: I gotta check the injury reports, but that one for

339
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 2: me is Texans are passed at six. It was seven.

340
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: Thinking maybe Stroud plays. I'm hopeful for the Texans Bears Vikings.

341
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 2: This is I've gone back and forth on this so

342
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: many times, and ultimately, if Darisou plays the left tackle

343
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 2: for Minnesota, I'll probably fire on Minnesota minus three. I

344
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 2: have not done it yet, but I'm pondering it. It.

345
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 2: You know, the Caleb Williams stuff, Guys, if you look

346
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 2: at his games against Flores earlier this season, not good.

347
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: They were winning at home, but that's mostly because of

348
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: the Minnesota offense and JJ McCarthy's first start last year.

349
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams good at home. Right against Minnesota on the road,

350
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: he was terrible. They got destroyed, and I just wonder

351
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: if things get a little crazy in the Dome and

352
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 2: flores diws up some stuff again. This is one of

353
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 2: those weekends where there's so many games that could determine seasons.

354
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 2: If Minnesota loses, I think they're done. I really do.

355
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at the schedule, I don't

356
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: think there's a pass of the playoffs for them. Next up, Packers, Giants.

357
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 2: I'm on the Packers, so I have minus six and

358
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: a half. I'm probably gonna take them on the contest.

359
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 2: I don't see how you can look at the Giants

360
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 2: here at all. I know green Bay's one and six

361
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 2: ats in their last seven, but this is a bad

362
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 2: injured defense, and I really do believe green Bay gets

363
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 2: right again. Look at these defenses. Lafleur has struggled with

364
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: put Carolina aside because that was a trap game. But

365
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 2: they rolled over green Bay. Okay, they didn't punt against Carolina.

366
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: If you want to kill them, Eagles defense is good.

367
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: I think I like green Bay here, guys. I know

368
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 2: it's not gonna be popular, which is fine, fine by me.

369
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 2: I'm on these Steelers. Oh boy, you know I don't

370
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 2: like the Steelers Bengals off of by divisional matchup. This

371
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 2: feels like a trap Mike Tomlin if he's good at

372
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 2: low numbers or as an underdog. I don't love this.

373
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 2: But I'm on the Steelers minus five and a half.

374
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: Passing on Chargers Jags for now, it would be Jaggs

375
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 2: plus three or nothing. Seahawks Rams. You know I have

376
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: a little bit of Rams here minus three. My feeling

377
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: is there's game day money on Seattle. I think it's

378
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: a high scoring game. Look at it. The over. Oh

379
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: I forgot to add in totals of Miami Washington over

380
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 2: forty seven. I had that, and let's see forty nine

381
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 2: Ers Cardinals. My guy brock Purty starting. I don't have

382
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: anything on this game yet. I was probably gonna just

383
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 2: punt on it. If you guys have looked at Arizona,

384
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 2: there's a lot of injuries. I mean, sweat popped up

385
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: on the inj report. Will Johnson's still not ready, Marvin

386
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 2: Harrison illness. They called up a guy from the practice squad.

387
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: It is not looking good. For the Arizona offense, and

388
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 2: you'll wonder have things kind of run out on Jacoby Brissett.

389
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: I just don't know if the forty nine Ers defense

390
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: can do scare him. Ravens Browns, I'm afraid of the

391
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 2: divisional matchup. I'll be gonna punt on this game, bad

392
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: bad weather, be careful road. Third road game in a row,

393
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: third straight road game for the Ravens. Chiefs Broncos Man,

394
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 2: I'm just waiting. I saw that JK. Dobbins may not play,

395
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: so then it's basically Harvey or nothing in the backfield.

396
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: And remember the Chiefs run defense is soft. It can

397
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 2: be had. I don't know. I'm a little surprised everybody

398
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 2: in the world's on the Chiefs. I would love for

399
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 2: to get a four and a half. I'll wait because

400
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 2: I don't think we're gonna see any Denver money. I'm

401
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 2: rooting Broncos here, guys, and Lion's Eagles. I'm on the

402
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 2: Eagles minus two in this one. Eagles minus two against

403
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: the Lions. Sorry, Detroit outdoors. I think they're fine. I

404
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 2: do kind of want to load up on the Cowboys

405
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 2: on Monday Night football, but I see that's at three

406
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: and a half and I'm just hopeful that somebody, some

407
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 2: dumb Raiders money comes in on game day pushes it

408
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: down to three. Anyways, a lot of bets this weekend.

409
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: Good luck to all, Good luck to the weather folks

410
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 2: out here in Los Angeles, rain all weekend for real.

411
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 2: Zero
