Folks, unders have been hitting at 31 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 6: a high rate thirty and seventeen against the number through 32 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 6: three weeks. You have to go back to nineteen ninety 33 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 6: one through the first three weeks of the season. The 34 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 6: last time an underrate was this high was nineteen ninety 35 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 6: one at seventy one percent. Hit thirty and twelve record 36 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 6: for unders through three weeks. Then you got twenty twenty 37 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 6: two at thirty and seventeen. And also I thought this 38 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 6: was interesting from Evan Abrams at Action Network. Through three weeks, 39 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 6: we have seen a total of twenty four home underdogs 40 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 6: and twenty four home favorites. 41 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: Exactly. 42 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 6: Even in the last forty years, we've never seen as 43 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 6: many twenty four home underdogs in the first three weeks 44 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 6: of the season. That has not happened before. So some 45 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 6: historic stuff here through these first couple of weeks. As 46 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 6: we always do to start our best Bets episode, let's 47 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 6: go around the horn. Here a one sentence summary for 48 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 6: week four. Brandon Anderson, per usual, get a start, and please. 49 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 5: I'm calling this prove it Week. 50 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 7: Twenty eight out of thirty two teams have either a 51 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 7: one or two wins. So it's just time to see 52 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 7: what's real from all these teams. 53 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: All right, what do you got for us? Dave Martinez, 54 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: welcome back. 55 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 4: Hey, thank you. I'm going to go with separation Sunday. 56 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 3: Similar to Brandon, I think you start to see what 57 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: is real, what is fake? 58 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 4: Who are truly the better teams in the NFL? 59 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: And Luke swayin, please, I think this is just a 60 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: week that I agree with brand approve it week. We 61 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: got I think eleven sides of three or less in 62 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 2: terms of spread, which I believe is the most ever. 63 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: And if you already picked the Packers and your survivor pool, 64 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 2: good luck. 65 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 6: Okay, very good. Hamers are home against the Patriots. And yeah, 66 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 6: he had to go back to the Cam Newton twenty 67 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 6: twenty year when he had COVID Brian Hoyer taking over. 68 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: That's yet to be seen. We'll see what happens. 69 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 6: Mac Jones was in the meeting room today with the Patriots, 70 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 6: so we shall see. Okay, first best bet will come 71 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 6: from Brandon Anderson. As a reminder, our experts have not 72 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 6: consulted with one another before starting this record, so we 73 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 6: could get some overlap, we may get some contradictions. We'll 74 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 6: see every man for himself here on these best bets. 75 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 6: Brandon Anderson hit us hard with pick number one. 76 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 5: Well, we're already talking about us. 77 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 7: Let me just dive right in and I'm going to 78 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 7: pick someone in that Patriots Packers game, and i Am 79 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 7: not going to take the big favorites. I'll back the 80 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 7: Patriots plus nine and a half. I'll take the underdog here. 81 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 7: This line, to me, is an overreaction. Mac Jones is out. 82 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 5: We know this. 83 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 7: He heard his ankle, We saw the line move. It 84 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 7: was six on Sunday morning, reopened eight and a half 85 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 7: Sunday evening, jumped to ten and a half, starting to 86 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 7: fade back down to where it's a little bit more 87 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 7: in range. But to me, this just sets up as 88 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 7: a classic Bill Belichick underdog spot. The Patriots have been 89 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 7: better than you think offensively, mostly because the run game 90 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 7: has been really good. Damien Harris from Monde Stevenson, they're 91 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 7: doing it well. And Brian Hoyer, the man can hand 92 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 7: the ball off. He's been around the league long enough 93 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 7: to get a good handoff down. And the Packers are 94 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 7: dead last in rushing defense DBOA. So this is a 95 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 7: great spot for Belichick to do the usual underdog thing. 96 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 7: You hand the ball off, you milk the clock, keep 97 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers on the sideline where it can't hurt you, 98 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 7: and just try to keep this thing close for a while. 99 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 7: Belichick as an underdog thirty seventeen and two against the spread, 100 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 7: sixty four percent cover rate, when he's more than a 101 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 7: six point dog seventy five percent cover rate, and if 102 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 7: he's an underdog after a loss eleven and one against 103 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 7: the spread ninety two percent cover rate, and a winning 104 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 7: record as an underdog after a loss straight up. So 105 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 7: I think this is a great spot for the Patriots 106 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 7: underdog Hoyer or Jones. I don't really care hand the 107 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 7: ball off, keep it close. The Packers' offense this year 108 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 7: is not explosive. They're not a team that's gonna run 109 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 7: away and hide in this game. We got a low 110 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 7: total here. I like the Patriots to keep it close 111 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 7: and get the cover. 112 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 6: First half line was six and a half and that 113 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 6: is moving down as well towards six. So that's interesting too. 114 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 6: Speaking of a low total, the Patriots can kind of 115 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 6: hang around you noted, and you laid it out nicely 116 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 6: about Belichick and his history. But that's eye popping to 117 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 6: that first half number. You've been on this, Brandon Anderson 118 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 6: on Green Dot Daily with Dane Martinez. 119 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: You were telling folks, get it now, go get it. 120 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 6: That number could move based on the news that leads 121 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 6: us to Dame. What is your first pick for us today? 122 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 3: Sure, I'm gonna go with the Baltimore Ravens at home 123 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: getting three points against the Buffalo Bills. And it's always funny, 124 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 3: you know, when we hear the Buffalo Bills the prohibitive 125 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 3: favorites to win the Super Bowl, people assume they're gonna 126 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 3: go seventeen and oh like, if we fast forward in 127 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 3: the future and they do, in fact go thirteen and 128 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 3: four or something like this, this would be a legitimate 129 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 3: one that they could still drop. They're facing the number 130 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 3: one offense in the NFL in Baltimore, thirteen touchdowns over 131 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: thirty three points a game, and remember that Buffalo defense 132 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 3: is still banged up. I'm Dane Martinez. It was good 133 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 3: to see Dane Jackson back at practice in the red 134 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 3: non contact jersey, but still no Micah Hide still got 135 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 3: you know, Ed Oliver banged up, and I think that 136 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 3: will be a problem against this Baltimore offense. 137 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson, okay, are you ready for this? 138 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,559 Speaker 3: Without any of his rushing statistics would be the QB 139 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 3: five in Fantasy football so far, and without any of 140 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 3: his passing statistics would be RB eleven in Fantasy football 141 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 3: as of now. So I actually think these two teams 142 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 3: can shoot it out. But I also believe that we 143 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 3: saw some. 144 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 4: Miami do something here. 145 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 3: They had the too high safety look, kind of taking 146 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 3: away the Stefan Diggs over the top, and I think 147 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 3: that may be a blueprint that teams start to have 148 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 3: against this Buffalo Bills team, forcing Josh Allen to like 149 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 3: take what's given to him, maybe run as well. I 150 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 3: think three points for the Baltimore Ravens is too much 151 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 3: at home, because I think they were a Super Bowl contender. 152 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 3: I think Lamar is an MVP contender. And here's the 153 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 3: other thing I said to Brandon Anderson as well this week. 154 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 3: If you have a strong position on this game, I 155 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 3: would also correlated bet that quarterback in the MVP market 156 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 3: because whether it's Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, if one 157 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 3: of them pop off and get a victory over the other, 158 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: you're gonna see them as the favorite. I think it's Lamar. 159 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 3: I think it's Baltimore. Give me the Ravens plus three 160 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 3: at home. 161 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 6: On the Fanduels sportsbook Lamar Jackson plus five fifty to 162 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 6: win MVP. The next man ahead, the only man ahead 163 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 6: of them Josh Allen at plus three hundred. So that's 164 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 6: great advice by Dan Martinez. Should be a fascinating scene 165 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 6: Baltimore and Buffalo this weekend. Luke Swayne, how about your 166 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 6: first pick for us? 167 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna be on the Ravens plus three as well. 168 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: It's just a really really hard spot for the Bells 169 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: after that Miami game where there are a lot of 170 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: narratives coming out of that Miami Bill's game from last 171 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: week about Miami's defense being on the field for ninety 172 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 2: plus plays, which means that the Bills defense was on 173 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: the field for ninety plus plays, and if you're watching 174 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 2: that game Man. The Bills offense, it was like the 175 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 2: wife was just getting sucked out of them. You had 176 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: guys falling on the ground, cramping up. Diggs was just 177 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 2: it was just a total struggle. And then when you 178 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: go to Baltimore to play a Superbowl contender the next week, like, 179 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: I just don't see it where I looked it up. 180 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: Offenses that played ninety plus plays and are favored the 181 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 2: next week have gone four and fourteen against the spread 182 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: in our nine and nine straight up, which like small 183 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: sample size but definitely favors the Ravens. And then Lamar 184 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: five and dollars an underdog at home and Harball eleven 185 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: and four at home as underdog. There are some weather concerns, 186 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 2: but if they do come into play, I think they 187 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: favor the Ravens greatly and I'll just take the Ravens 188 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 2: plus three easy money. 189 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 6: I'm sure we'll have more discussions about whether later on 190 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 6: in the program thanks to the old hwer Kane a 191 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 6: game that is affected by that. Let's go back to 192 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 6: Brandon Anderson pick number two for us, please. 193 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 7: Well, last week we went in on Cliff Kingsbury. I'm 194 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 7: going back to the Kingsbury. Well, this week, but I'm 195 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 7: flipping sides. I'm going to bet with Cliff Kingsbury as 196 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 7: an underdog Cardinals plus one and a half in Carolina. 197 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 7: So this is another line that moved a lot after 198 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 7: the weekend, and I think it moved in correctly. It 199 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 7: was two and a half for the Cardinals as favorites 200 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 7: before Sunday's games. The Cardinals went out and lost to 201 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 7: the Rams. Okay, they played them relatively even. They had 202 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 7: five long drives to end the game, but kept stalling 203 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 7: for field goals. 204 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 5: The Panthers finally got a win. The Panthers were not good. 205 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 7: The Panthers really the Saint's got a loss, is what 206 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 7: happened in their matchup. And this line swung four points 207 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 7: the other direction. And I'm not really sure we learned 208 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 7: much about either of these teams that should have moved 209 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 7: the line at all. Importantly, here, Cliff Kingsbury, we fade 210 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 7: him against the Sean mcvays of the world, like we 211 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 7: did last week. We fade him against the great coaches. 212 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 7: Guess who's not a great coach? Our friend Matt Rule 213 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 7: over with Carolina, who I don't even know why the 214 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 7: man is still coaching that team. 215 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 5: This year. And I'll tell you this right now. 216 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 7: This game is our last chance ever to bet against 217 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 7: Matt Rule as an NFL favorite. 218 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 5: That's it. 219 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 7: This is your chance as a favorite. And Matt Rule 220 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 7: is three and ten against the spread, but he's three 221 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 7: and ten straight up. He loses as a favorite nearly 222 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 7: every time. He's lost seven in a row outright as 223 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 7: a favorite. And and remember Baker Mayfield has not been 224 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 7: on this team till recently. Mayfield eleven twenty two and 225 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 7: a one against the spread, thirty three percent cover rate. 226 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 7: As a favorite, he has failed to cover seven in 227 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 7: a row as a favorite. Why are Baker Mayfield and 228 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 7: Matt Rule favorites in an NFL game in twenty twenty two, 229 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 7: I don't understand it. I will take the Cardinals Kingsbury 230 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 7: as an underdog nineteen nine and two against the spread, 231 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 7: covering sixty eight percent. And I talked about a coaching disparity. 232 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 7: If you look at Kingsbury as an underdog against any 233 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 7: coach in NFL history who has not won a Super Bowl, 234 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 7: that's it. Just remove the Super Bowl winning coaches. Kingsbury 235 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 7: is an underdog eleven oh and a one against the spread. 236 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 7: He has never failed to cover against one of these 237 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 7: non Super Bowl winners straight up on the money line 238 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 7: nine to one, one hundred and eight percent ROI. I 239 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 7: like the Cardinals here, they should be favorites. I like 240 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 7: beans Joseph blitzing against mak Er Mayfield. I'll take the 241 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 7: Cardinals plus one and a half. I'll take the money line. 242 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 6: Quickly, Brandon Anderson, there are some two and a half's 243 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 6: out there just a few days ago. 244 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: Any idea why that may have been the case? 245 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 5: I truly I don't like. 246 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 7: Normally, I'm very good at Devil's advocating and trying to say, okay, 247 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 7: well here's what happened on the other side, And I 248 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 7: guess what happened is Cliff Kingsbury. Like maybe that's the answer, 249 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,599 Speaker 7: is like, oh, actually, this was the last time to 250 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 7: bet against Cliff Kingsbury. 251 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 5: Maybe that's where we're headed. 252 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 7: The weather could be a factor here as well, but 253 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 7: I'm not really sure which direction that goes. Christian McCaffrey 254 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 7: is not practicing now, so that could be a factor 255 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 7: as well. That's obviously Carolina's offense, so I think we're 256 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 7: gonna see a lot of Baker passing, and that is 257 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 7: not a good sign that you want the Panthers. I'll 258 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 7: stay on the Cardinals here. 259 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 6: Okay, that's a good thing that if you don't know 260 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 6: why if you go to the two and a half, 261 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 6: great And I can't think that's what I'm getting out here, 262 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 6: so yes, just curious, but yeah, that's uh, that's interesting. Okay, 263 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 6: let's go back to Dave Martinez for his second pick. 264 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 3: Well, and I gotta give a disclaimer here. I am 265 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,319 Speaker 3: unfortunately a Jets fan. My grandparents had season tickets in 266 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 3: Chase Stadium watching Joe Namath. Okay, so I'm sorry Grandma 267 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 3: and grandpa, but I'm going with the Steelers minus three 268 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 3: against the New York Jets. And what it comes down 269 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 3: to is we're expecting the return of Zach Wilson, and 270 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 3: I just think this is a tough assignment to come 271 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 3: right back go on the road against Pittsburgh. And here's 272 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 3: the key stat I want people to see. It's the 273 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 3: turnover margin of these two teams. Pittsburgh is plus four, 274 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 3: the Jets are minus three. I think that will kind 275 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 3: of remain. I think the Jets make more mistakes in 276 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 3: this one on the road with Zach Wilson coming back 277 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 3: than Pittsburgh does. We've all been talking about this Pittsburgh 278 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 3: offense and how they're kind of bland, right, dink and dunk, 279 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 3: But I think that'll be just enough in this one 280 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 3: against the Jets defense. The only prayer, in my opinion, 281 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 3: the Jets have is to run the ball. Pittsburgh has 282 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: not been good against the run, and we'll see if 283 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 3: Breece Hall and Michael Carter can do it. But I 284 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 3: don't think that's the case. I think the Jets will 285 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 3: turn the ball over. I think Zack Wilson will be 286 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 3: under pressure in his first game back. Alex high Smith 287 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 3: with four and a half sacks already, and you're telling 288 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 3: me these two teams that both average less than eighteen 289 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 3: points a game. I don't think the Jets are gonna 290 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 3: do much here in the return of Zach Wilson. I 291 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 3: think it's going to take some time. I'll take the 292 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 3: home team laying only three points. I think the Pittsburgh 293 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 3: Steelers get it done. 294 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 6: Full week of rest and then some from Mike Tomlin 295 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 6: and company nine to four and one against the numbers 296 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 6: over the last five years. Full full week of rest, 297 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 6: and then he's also seventeen to ten ats off a 298 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 6: double digit loss, which if you all remember, I don't 299 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 6: know if that's necessarily fair to call that a double 300 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 6: digit loss. You got a little weird at the end there, 301 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 6: but hey, it goes down as a double digit loss. 302 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do? 303 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 6: Very good, Luke Swayne, your second best bet, please. 304 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna go with the Broncos plus two and 305 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: a half. And if you remember this past weekend Sunday 306 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 2: night game which was the Niners and the Broncos, and 307 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: it was. 308 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: Just twitch by the way, you were on Denver plus one. 309 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, which it was a tough game to watch, and 310 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 2: it was just Russell Wilson versus probably the best defense 311 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: in the league right now. 312 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: And when you go to the Raiders, which are. 313 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 2: Probably bottom three or four defense in the league, it's 314 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: just a playdown where I think this game is going 315 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: to be more of the Broncos offense versus the Seahawks, 316 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: which is a game they probably should have wigned. If 317 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: you subtract the red zone goal line fumbles, where I'm 318 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 2: higher on the Broncos offense, I think then everyone else 319 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 2: and I do have hope where Judy and kJ Hamler 320 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: should be more healthy. This week and it's just I 321 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: think everyone is picturing how bad they looked this past 322 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 2: weekend and underrating how good this Niners defense is, which 323 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 2: going into a Raiders defense that are thin, they should 324 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: just it should be I guess, quote unquote the cliche 325 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: get right game for the Broncos offense. 326 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 5: So I'll take Broncos plus two and a half. 327 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: Okay, very good. That. 328 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, that was quite the tractor poll that we had 329 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 6: to watch on Sunday. Let's go to Brandon Anderson and 330 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 6: get each of the guys' final picks. The pick number 331 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 6: three BA. 332 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 7: All right, I'm going to go to the AFC South 333 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 7: for the two teams everyone still thinks erroneously are the 334 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 7: class of the division, the Titans and the Colts, and 335 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 7: I will take the Titans on the road plus three 336 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 7: and a half. Look, both these teams got their first 337 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 7: win on Sunday. Everyone's kind of feeling like, all right, 338 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 7: Titans are back, Colts are back. I'm not really sure 339 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 7: either of these teams is back. These teams are both 340 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 7: built around their old school mentality run the ball, control 341 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 7: the clock, and they're not doing it. Neither one of 342 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 7: them is doing it this year. The offensive lines have 343 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 7: not been good. Both teams are bottom ten and rushing 344 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 7: DVA so far. So what you need to look at 345 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 7: it is, okay, where is there an advantage here? Who 346 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 7: can actually do things on offense? The Colts ranked dead 347 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 7: last on offensive DVA, second to last and EPA per play. However, 348 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 7: the Titans can pass the ball. I'll take the better 349 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 7: Ryan here, and that's Ryan Tannehill, not Matt Ryan. Matt 350 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 7: Ryan has been terrible, can't move in the pocket, making 351 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 7: all sorts of mistakes, basically like they just cloned Carson 352 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 7: Wentz and kept him around. Ryan Tannehill is actually connecting 353 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 7: down the field and has been good against the Colts. 354 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 7: He hit three touchdowns both games against them last year. 355 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 7: He is eleven and seven straight up as an underdog 356 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 7: with the Titans, and in this division rivalry, the road 357 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 7: team has actually been really good. Has won six of 358 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 7: the last seven games in this rivalry. So I like 359 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 7: the spot for Tennessee. I think they're getting too many 360 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 7: points here. Mike Vrabel, when he has more than a 361 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 7: three point underdog, is eighteen and seven against the spread, 362 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 7: covering seventy two percent of the time, and he's one 363 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 7: outright seventeen out of those twenty five games, one hundred 364 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 7: and two percent ROI. So you want Mike Rabel when 365 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 7: he's a big underdog, the script sets up in his favor. 366 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 7: I like the Titans. I smell an upset or maybe 367 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 7: that's just the cults I'm smelling. I don't know, but 368 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 7: I'll take Tennessee either way. 369 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: Could also just be the division. 370 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 6: But hey, like we talked about on the Recap show 371 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 6: Sunday night, Monday morning, the AFC South went three to 372 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 6: zero against the AFC List. Maybe all got to ahead 373 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 6: of ourselves on that division. Dave Martinez your final best 374 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 6: bet for us? 375 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: Please? 376 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna be consistent this week. 377 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 3: I'm big on turnover numbers, sack numbers, and dual threat quarterbacks. 378 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 3: And with that, I'm giving the Philadelphia Eagles minus six 379 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 3: and a half at home against Jacksonville. Did you know 380 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 3: that before last week, Trevor Lawrence had never won a 381 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 3: road game in the NFL. So now you're gonna ask 382 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 3: him to kind of be in back to back road 383 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 3: games with the long trip. 384 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to happen. 385 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 3: Jacksonville is actually plus seven in the turnover margin, and 386 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 3: I think that's kind of artificially boosting them. And I 387 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 3: don't think Jalen Hurts is going to turn it over 388 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 3: only one interception so far. You heard me earlier kind 389 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 3: of extol the virtues of Lamar Jackson. Well, Jalen Hurts 390 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 3: is the first quarterback in NFL history through three games 391 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 3: to have nine hundred yards passing and one hundred and 392 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 3: fifty yards rushing. That's why he, too, is in that 393 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 3: MVP kind of conversation. The Eagles have the most yards 394 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 3: gained out of anybody in the NFL, four hundred and 395 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 3: fifty five yards a game, and I don't think this 396 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 3: Jacksonville defense will stop them. I also know it's the 397 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 3: return of Doug Peterson going back to Philadelphia, but I 398 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 3: actually think that helps Philly more than it helps Jacksonville. 399 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 4: Under Nick Sirian, this team is completely different. 400 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 3: You remember last year, in kind of the middle of 401 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 3: the season, they decided we are going to change our 402 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 3: identity and become a more run heavy team. Peterson doesn't 403 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 3: know about that. If anything, I think it's Philly that 404 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 3: knows the tendencies of a Peterson team and offense. I 405 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 3: believe in this Philadelphia team. I believe in Jalen Hurts, 406 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 3: and I think Trevor Lawrence is going to be under 407 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 3: pressure seriously for the first. 408 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 4: Time this year. 409 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 3: I don't think that Sunshine is good enough to stay 410 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 3: in two road games in a row, as long as 411 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 3: it stays under seven like it is right now at 412 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 3: six and a half, I'll take the Eagles to fly, fly, 413 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 3: fly all the way to four and zero. 414 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 6: You know, we talked about MVP earlier on the show, 415 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 6: and now I'm fascinated if indeed hurts and the Eagles 416 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 6: take care of business. I wonder if Alan or Jackson 417 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 6: dominates one or the other, does that then catapult Hurts 418 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 6: into a real discussion to be the second guy potentially, Brandon, 419 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:52,919 Speaker 6: you got a. 420 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: Thought on that. 421 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 7: I do have a thought. I'll give you a different name. 422 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 7: I'll take the other quarterback in that game. I'll take 423 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 7: Trevor Lawrence. If the Jags go on the and win 424 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 7: that game, Trevor Lawrence, I think could vaults himself into 425 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 7: MVP conversation is forty to one right now. Have an 426 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 7: article up as a long shot futures. I think that's 427 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 7: a sneaky play. If the Jaguars are real, Sunshine's gonna 428 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:13,120 Speaker 7: get a look. 429 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 3: Let me ask you something right back, though, like what 430 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 3: would the Jaguars as a team have to do for 431 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 3: Lawrence to get serious look for that player award? 432 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, we know they're gonna need to be a top 433 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 7: two seed. Any any MVP basically is a quarterback and 434 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 7: a top two seed. So we're gonna need a lot 435 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 7: But we're banking on I think at that point, bad division, 436 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 7: soft schedule defense that looks legit. You don't think it is. 437 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 7: We will see. I think this is a real test 438 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,719 Speaker 7: this weekend. But I think that's the case. Is a 439 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 7: team that's improved a lot soft schedule, you need probably 440 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,160 Speaker 7: twelve thirteen wins to get to the conversation. Maybe that's 441 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 7: too much for Jacksonville, but we shall see. 442 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 6: When you go Pacific Standard time to Eastern Standard time 443 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 6: two on a road trip like the jagsar last decade, 444 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 6: those teams are just covering the spread forty percent of 445 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 6: the time, So it's a trend not going their way. 446 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 6: Hence why Dane likes the Eagles to cover just short 447 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 6: of a touchdown. Luke, take us home your third best 448 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 6: bet for Week four? 449 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, so the last one is going to be the 450 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Bucks minus one currently on Sunday Night Football, 451 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 2: which right before this we recorded this, it was announced 452 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 2: that the game is going to be in Tampa Bay, 453 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 2: which is great news and one of the bigger bets 454 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 2: I ever regret is taking the Chiefs against the Bucks 455 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl a couple of years ago, which 456 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 2: was one of the most dominant performances I think I've 457 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 2: ever seen. For this defense is very similar to that game. 458 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's going to be the same game whatsoever, 459 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 2: but looking at the practice reports, a lot of the 460 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 2: Bucks receivers have been limited to participants. I think we're 461 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 2: going to get at least one of the godwins Julios 462 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 2: and assuming Gage is going to play, and then we're 463 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 2: getting Mike Evans back as well, which bonus bet. Take 464 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 2: Mike Evans anytime, TD, whatever the odds are, just bet 465 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 2: it and Tom Brady off a loss ten and zero 466 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 2: again to spread. It's just a it's a it's an 467 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 2: easy play for me at home Sunday Night Football, Bucks 468 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 2: minus one. 469 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: Love it, very simple. Enjoy that. 470 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, gauge part practice Wednesday, Julio was limited, God wouldn't limited, 471 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 6: but all out there. 472 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 2: So then this yeah, and this Bucks defense is legit, 473 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 2: like it is very soligit. And the you saw what 474 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 2: the Chiefs did last week against the Cult, very much struggle. 475 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 2: The probably should have won that game. But second game 476 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 2: on the road in Tampa, Tom Brady, hello, like, come 477 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:30,479 Speaker 2: on love it. 478 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 6: Okay, those are our best bets. We will recap before 479 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 6: we wrap the show. But before we wrap the show, 480 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 6: let's look very quickly to next week's lines for NFL 481 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 6: Week five to see if we like any numbers now 482 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 6: before they make any sort of adjustments based on Sunday's action. 483 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 6: Brandon Anderson, because alone on this today, you got one 484 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 6: for us? 485 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: What do you like for week five? 486 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 5: I like the Detroit Lions. 487 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 7: They are one and a half point underdogs in New 488 00:22:56,119 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 7: England next weekend. The Detroit Lions are underdogs two Ryan 489 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 7: Hoyer and the Patriots next weekend. What are we doing? 490 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 7: I had to triple check this line to make sure 491 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 7: it wasn't a typo. The Lions are not going to 492 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 7: be underdogs by the time we get to kick off here. Look, 493 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 7: Detroit is supposed to be beating up on Seattle this weekend. 494 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 7: That's what the Lion tells us, and the Patriots are 495 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 7: probably going to lose in Green Bay. I know, I 496 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 7: backed them just a few minutes ago. There's a difference 497 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 7: between covering a double digit spread and actually looking like 498 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 7: a team that should be favored against the Lions, who 499 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 7: have looked good. Detroit's offense is the real deal. They're 500 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 7: blocking well. The run game has been really good. The 501 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 7: Patriots are bottom five against the run, so this sets 502 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 7: up very nicely for Detroit. And I just feel like 503 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 7: this line is going to move once people kind of 504 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 7: wake up to the reality of what Detroit is now 505 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 7: and what Belichick's Patriots and Brian Hoyer aren't anymore. Dan 506 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 7: Campbell has covered ten of his last twelve games, and 507 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,719 Speaker 7: this is back for now into the underdog role that 508 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 7: he likes. Brian Hoyer, our guy has eleven starts in 509 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 7: a row, and he is favored here. His last win 510 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 7: was six years ago. He has switched teams five times 511 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 7: since winning a game, and we're favoring him. 512 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 5: Take Detroit. I don't think they're gonna last as a favorite. 513 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 5: I like the Lions. 514 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 6: Do not lose sight of this angle to Luke, do 515 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 6: not lose sight of the fact that some of these 516 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 6: Lions players hate Matt Patricia's guts and they want to stay. 517 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: I like that. 518 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 2: All I just want to say, I I that is, 519 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 2: you're definitely gonna get value on that, Brandon. But I 520 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 2: do want to say that like Hoyer starting next week, 521 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be mac Jones. But the 522 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 2: last time a backup started for a former first round 523 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 2: pick that was a quarterback went pretty well. And Bailey 524 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 2: Zappi should definitely get the chance soon. Not saying that 525 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 2: he's going to make any difference in terms of the line, 526 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 2: but that is a QB unknown. 527 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 5: That is something that always worries me. 528 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: We know who Hoyor is. 529 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 6: He's just not good Bailey Zappi. 530 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's fair that the higher number is definitely. 531 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 4: You're more worried if they go to Zappi. 532 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: That's yes, yes, Like one of my number one rules 533 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 2: is like you don't bet against the quarterback that you 534 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 2: know nothing about. Like there is a huge unknown on 535 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 2: Bailey Zappy and that's just a principle for me. But 536 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 2: at the same time, like the Pats aren't good, I 537 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 2: don't think it matters who's that quarterback. 538 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 7: And nonetheless, I agree that there is a fear factor 539 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 7: with Bailey Zappi either rookie if he does get in, 540 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 7: But if he does get in there we're probably gonna 541 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 7: get this line up to like Lions favored by a 542 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 7: field goal or more and then you have a lot 543 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 7: of options from there too. 544 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 5: So I think it's just a great CLV spot right now. 545 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 6: Love that Lions dogs in Foxborough next week. 546 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: Let's recap the picks. 547 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 6: Brandon Anderson is on the Cardinals plus one and a half. 548 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 6: He likes the Patriots this week plus nine and a 549 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 6: half at lambeau Field and the Tennessee Titans at the 550 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 6: Colts plus three and a half. Luke is on Denver 551 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 6: plus two and a half against the Raiders Ravens plus 552 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 6: three and the Bucks minus one. They are home this week, folks, 553 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 6: they are playing in Tampa. That was announced earlier on Thursday. 554 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 6: And then Dane also likes the Ravens plus three, Steelers 555 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 6: minus three going against his Jets. And then he's got 556 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 6: the Eagles just short of a touchdown at minus six 557 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 6: and a half.
