Terms and conditions apply. All right, 24 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: Welcome in Friday Morning. Heard podcast Chad Milman Sharper Square 25 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: in ten minutes. But first, I have things on my mind. 26 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: So there's a trend in sports where instead of a 27 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 1: great athlete talking to the owner man to man, or 28 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: talking to the GM or talking to the coach, they 29 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: rush to their social media. I'm not into this trend 30 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: at all. Maybe it's generational, but that said, it is newsworthy. 31 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: So Lebron James went to his Instagram after the Owen 32 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: four start, showed a picture of him dunking and wrote 33 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: how long are you going to take me for granted? 34 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 1: And then he put a king crown. Not a lot 35 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 1: of subtlety with that one, but Lebron is right. This 36 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: is what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did. They seized on 37 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: an older Tom Brady. He wants Gronk, get him. Gronk 38 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: wants Letty Furnett get him. Lenny Fernette wants a B, 39 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: Get him a B. You knew you had about a 40 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: two to three year window with Tom. Get him. Help 41 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: what's Green Bay down with Aaron Rodgers in the last 42 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: two years, saddle him with rookie receivers. Lebron is, of 43 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: course right. The greatest thing about Lebron James has always been, 44 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: and this goes for Phil Jackson, the best coach in 45 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: league history, the ability to elevate others Phil Jackson, and 46 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: it's arguable, but I think it's true. Never had at 47 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: least a borderline All Star level player that didn't play 48 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: his best basketball when coached under Phil Jackson. It's a psychology, 49 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: it's a style. Phil Jackson got the best out of everybody. 50 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: Now Lebron's not always that way. I mean, Chris Bosh 51 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: and Kevin Love gave up statistics to play with Lebron. 52 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Bosh could have remained a twenty five point game guy 53 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: for the Raptors. Kevin Love could have remained a twenty 54 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: five point game guy for the t Wolves. But Lebron 55 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: does elevate. If not your stats, your stature. His games 56 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: are widely viewed, his teams usually win. They have not 57 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: given Lebron James. The Lakers haven't winning players. I mean 58 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 1: even Anthony Davis was talented, but he couldn't win. He 59 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: wasn't a winning player in New Orleans. He has never 60 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: seen as somebody totally passionately in love with the sport. 61 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook talented, not a winning player. Patrick Beverly annoying, disruptive. 62 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 1: You don't view him as a winning player. You think 63 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: of disruptive Anthony Davis. Talented Westbrook athletic. Get Lebron winning players. 64 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: Kendrick Nunn, he was in the G League system for 65 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: the Warriors. They let him go. They're pretty good at 66 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: spotting talent. He was with Eric Spoelstra in Miami. Pat 67 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: Riley let him go because none is considered again, another 68 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: talented player, but not a winning player. That's why the 69 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: Warriors and the Heat let him go. They have winning players. 70 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: So Lebron's right, How long are you going to take 71 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: him for granted? As a front office and an ownership group, right, 72 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: you have to This is what the Warriors have done 73 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: so well. You have to identify your best player, Lebron 74 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: Steph and then fill in assets to protect his weak spots. 75 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: In Golden State, Draymond can defend, Clay defends, Andrew Wiggins defends. 76 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: Curry's not a great defender with Lebron James Lebron James 77 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: isn't a great three point shooter. So the teams he 78 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: has been on that have been great. Miami they got 79 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: him Ray Allen, they got him, Shane Battier, they got him, 80 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: Mike Miller, they got him, Chris Bosh an excellent shooting 81 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: big see pat Riley identified who's our best player? Lebron. 82 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: Let's surround him with what he elevates and protect him 83 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: from what he doesn't do. At his highest level, Lebron 84 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: is a winner with a high IQE that gets the 85 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: ball the shooters, and the Lakers have a chance to 86 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: be now the worst shooting team in league history. This 87 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: is a failure from Genie Buss. This is a failure 88 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: from Rob Polenka. Lebron's right got a couple of years left. 89 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: Stopped taking me for granted. You know, the Russell Wilson 90 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: story is obviously interesting to me because I think he's 91 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: a really, really talented guy. But a lot of the 92 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: criticisms of Russell Wilson are he's inauthentic. Two other players 93 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:04,280 Speaker 1: come to mind for me, two utter quarterbacks. When I 94 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: hear the word inauthentic, they're labeled is inauthentic do Gooders, 95 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: Goody two shoes, Tim Tebow and Kirk Cousins. Russell Wilson 96 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: Cousins Tebow are probably the three most religious quarterbacks in 97 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: the last decade. They're labeled inauthentic, and my takeaway has been, 98 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: I'm agnostic, but I have seen the power of religion 99 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: and the power of faith in my life from others. 100 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: I think religion at its best is optimistic, not pessimistic, 101 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: is hopeful, is glass half full, not snarky. For the record, 102 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers leans toward the less religious side, has struggled 103 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: with his family very religious, That's okay. I'm I'm agnostic. 104 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: I tend to be a little cynical, a little skeptical 105 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: of faith. Maybe I wouldn't be a good quarterback right 106 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: But when I hear the inauthentic claims, I heard him 107 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: for Tebow, I hear him for Russ and I've heard 108 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: him for Kirk Cousins, and I think they're just very 109 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: faith based, very hopeful, very optimistic, and that sure beats 110 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: what I see with a lot of people out there. 111 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: I don't think snarky is great for religion. I don't 112 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: think pessimistic super cool. Russell Wilson isn't washed. You may 113 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: think he is, but I think when I watch Russell Wilson, 114 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: I think he really believes in what he's selling. Now, 115 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: what he's selling can come off as a tad cringe ee. 116 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: But you know, not everybody's cool, right, Like a lot 117 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: of people think they're cool. A lot of people want 118 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: to be cool. Not that many people are cool. I 119 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: don't think Russell's cool. I mean, I'll be honest with you. 120 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: I don't think Brady's cool. I never thought Peyton Manning 121 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: was cool. Most of the great quarterbacks in my life. 122 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: Troy Aikman was a little cool, a little bit cool, 123 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: good looking guy, Dallas Cowboys. I don't think that's a 124 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: beneficial asset. Because I said this years ago when I 125 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 1: was talking to a college class, I said, I'm not 126 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,599 Speaker 1: cool either. Is my audience go to a mall or 127 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: a bowling alley? That's who listens to sports talk radio. 128 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: If I'm cool, I'm not of my audience, right, So 129 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: I said, I wouldn't waste a lot of time trying 130 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: to be the hippiest guy on social media because most 131 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: people aren't hip. Think about this quarterback NFL Mahomes is cool. 132 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: I think that's fair to say Troy Aikman was cool. 133 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: The Mannings weren't. Brady isn't, Russell isn't, Andrew Luck wasn't. 134 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: I never thought Big Ben was. I don't think Herbert 135 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: is Joe Burrows got some cool and exclusively on the volume. 136 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's an asset necessarily in a 137 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: group setting to be the coolest guy. So I'm okay 138 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: with a little cringey because it's really relatable. And how 139 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: do I know that because in a recent poll of 140 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: American adults, Russell Wilson was voted tied for the most 141 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: popular player in the NFL. Twitter and social media are 142 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: not real life cringey, it's real life. Dad jokes are 143 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: real life. Listen.

With Chad Millman's c CEO Action network, 187 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: all of our odds provided by fan Duel. I had 188 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: another winning week. You talked me into a couple of games, 189 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: and I like that. So let's start with my favorite picks. 190 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: I am a huge fan of Minnesota, but they don't 191 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: blow anybody away. I've said before, Arizona is too talented 192 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: not to be competitive. They get extra time to prep. 193 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: They're getting now four. I'm going to take Arizona plus 194 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: four against a team I like a lot. Minnesota's sharper square. 195 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: So this is generally sharp. Let me give you some background. 196 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: The Wise guys do like the Cardinals. The Blind actually 197 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: moved from four to three and a half, and there 198 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: are reasons related to the Vikings that they don't necessarily 199 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: like Minnesota. But a lot of this is about the 200 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: return of DeAndre Hopkins. We saw it last week. Kyler 201 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: Murray and this offense, they are just a different team 202 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: when DeAndre Hopkins plays. When he has When Kyler Murray 203 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: has DeAndre Hopkins, he's seventeen and ten as a starter. 204 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: Without him, he's six thirteen and one. Last week, Hopkins 205 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 1: plays for the first time in the early year, ten 206 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: catches for more than a hundred yards. But then there 207 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: is the part that is about the Vikings. This defense 208 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: is dreadful like they allow the NFL's highest percentage of 209 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: explosive pass plays. They're thirty first in DVOA. They are 210 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: against against wide receiver number one, which is what Hopkins is. 211 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: He could have a massively huge day. And this is 212 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: what's interesting about the Vikings. You know, they're on this 213 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: hot streak right now and they're five and one. They're 214 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: leading the division. They're consistently outgained on a yard per 215 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: play basis, and that is a huge Wise guys stat 216 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: That is a signal that they're not winning because they're better, 217 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 1: but because they've been luckier. Wise guys are betting on regression. 218 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: Detroit plus three and a half at home against Miami. Okay, interesting, 219 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: Jared Goffin. Detroit are a different team at home. If 220 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: you really watch the Cowboy game, that thing was like 221 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: ten to six late and Detroit should have been leading. 222 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: I like Miami, They're very good on script, often limited 223 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 1: off it. I'm going to take the points. Detroit plus 224 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: three and a half. Sharper square. I love this. It 225 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: is my favorite pick of the week. It was the 226 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: first bet I made. The Wise guys love this game. 227 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: This is a bylo sell High. Everyone hates the Lions 228 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: after two bad weeks. Everyone loves Miami with two of 229 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: back they won in prime time. But like you said, 230 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: Detroit is back at home. Detroit is in desperation mode. 231 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: The world is a better place when we can root 232 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: for Dan Campbell as an NFL head coach and they 233 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: need this game to save their season and for him 234 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: to save his job. The good news Amanra st Brown 235 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: should be back. DeAndre Swift full practice this week, not 236 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: on the injury list. Teams off of bad losses like 237 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: the Lions, who the public is fading like? The Lions 238 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: cover eighty sixty one percent clip since two thousand and five, 239 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: so the Lions are in a favorable situation as far 240 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: as precedent, and also the Dolphins just from an injury 241 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: point of view and playing a lot of third four 242 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: stringers on the defensive side of the ball. Love the 243 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: Lions here, love love love them. Third favorite game is 244 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: Cleveland Monday night plus three and a half. Here's why. 245 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: Not only is Jamar Chase excellent, he may be as 246 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: valuable as any singular a wide receiver to a team. 247 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 1: He can play multiple wide receiver slots. He is now 248 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: out it's a divisional game. Outside of last week, Cincinnati 249 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: does get into a bad trend of falling behind. Also, 250 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: a Monday night football game in a lot of cities 251 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 1: is no big deal. In Cleveland, this is a big deal. 252 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: The Browns don't get home Monday night football games much. 253 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: It'll be a wild scene divisional game. Since he may win, 254 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,120 Speaker 1: I'll take the three and a half sharper square, Yeah, 255 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 1: totally sharp. And this is by Monday night. You know 256 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: this game's at three and a half by Monday night, 257 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: or it'll be down to three. The wise guys are 258 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: just going to hammer that hook. The Browns they don't 259 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 1: look very good right now, but they have been losing 260 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: a lot of close games, only one loss by more 261 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: than a field goal this year. And that's what happens 262 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: when you have the best running back in football and 263 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb, and you're going to play a conservative game 264 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: plan because Jocoby Brissette is proving to be who Jacoby 265 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: Brissette is and not the guy who started the year 266 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: really really hot. The Bengals have looked like they were back. 267 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 1: They beat up on the Falcons, but the Falcons in 268 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: that game lost aj Terrell and they ended up not 269 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: being able to cover anyone, so the Bengals got the 270 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt to be more explosive. You mentioned 271 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: Jamar Chase, but this is going to be a spot 272 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: where the wise guys and you and me are on 273 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: the Browns. All right, let's go to the favorites. I 274 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: like the Jags minus two and a half in London 275 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: against the Denver Broncos. They had the Colts beaten to 276 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: the last play. They played straight up against the Giants. 277 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: I do feel it's a young team. Young teams can 278 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,399 Speaker 1: ascend overcome injuries faster. I think Denver's a mess. I 279 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: think when you're in crisis, traveling is not the greatest thing. 280 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: We saw Green Bay a little bit in crisis. Go 281 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,160 Speaker 1: on the road and play worse. I'm going to take 282 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: the Jags minus two and a half sharper square, So 283 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,680 Speaker 1: that's square. The line opened at three, it's moved down 284 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: to two and a half. The money has come in 285 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: on the Broncos. The tickets are on the Jaguars. That 286 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 1: is always a signal that the professionals like the team 287 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: where the money is moving in their direction, that is 288 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: the Broncos. When the tickets are on one side that 289 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: is the public side, that is the Jaguars. In this case, 290 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: it's the Jaguars are a challenging team. They're one of 291 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: those teams that the wise guys have loved the entire season. 292 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: But Travis Lawrence is missing receivers consistently on the most 293 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: important plays, red zone throws, deep throws. He's been incredibly 294 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: inaccurate on the classes that he has to make. And 295 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: then because they are a young team you mentioned it, 296 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: they are just consistently making crucial mistakes in the most 297 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: important moments. You can see it. There's there's a false start. 298 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: They are not converting when it's fourth and short, third 299 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: and short, you know when they're on the goal line. 300 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: The Broncos are a train wreck on offense, but their 301 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: defense is fierce and I think there's a lot of 302 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,400 Speaker 1: fear of what they can do to this very young 303 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: offense led by Trevor Lawrence. So you're not on the 304 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 1: right side here. I'm going to take another favorite, Bill Belichick. Humiliated. 305 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: They'll come back cover the spread minus two and a 306 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: half against the Jets. I do not trust the Jets 307 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: in a big spot. The Jets lost their best and 308 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: most versatile offensive Lineman. The Jets lost their best running back. 309 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: They bring in Greg James Robinson, but it's late in 310 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: a week. They're not going to use him much. This 311 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: is a classic take the team that looked awful last 312 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: week in a standalone game. The public is fleeing the Patriots. Therefore, 313 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,160 Speaker 1: I'm on the sharp side, am I not? You are 314 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: on the sharp side, Colin. And it's rare for the 315 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: sharp side to be a road favorite when the team 316 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: is not very good. But for the things you just said, 317 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: you are getting a Patriots team that, gosh shall act 318 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: by a really bad team. So there's going to be 319 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: a little bit of a discount. And what the line is? 320 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 1: It opened it about one one and a half, It 321 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: moved up to two. Now it's a two and a half. 322 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: The money is coming in on the Patriots. The flip side, 323 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: you are getting a Jets team that has been winning, 324 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: is starting to get a little bit more of a 325 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: public profile. But they didn't lose their best player in 326 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: Breece Hall. And so how what kind of impact is 327 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 1: going to have on Zach Wilson, who if you ask 328 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: a lot of people how they are grading quarterbacks, he 329 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: is below number thirty two like, there are quarterbacks who 330 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: are not even playing at this point who are still 331 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: great at higher than what Zach Wilson is doing. You 332 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: would have talked about this. We've talked about this. Robert 333 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: Solo basically said, I don't know what's going to happen 334 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: to me in the future with this team. But about 335 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: two weeks into this year, he just decided, we're going 336 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: to be a running football team and we're going to 337 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: be a defensive football team. I don't care who my 338 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 1: quarterback is. That's how they've been winning. How did they 339 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: overcome the loss of Bruce Hall, who probably would have 340 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: been a Rookie of the Year. So that is a 341 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: big factor for the wise guys. All right now a 342 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: couple of games. You may be convince me you turn 343 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: me last week on the Seahawks, and I do appreciate 344 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: that I bought myself a brand new No, I didn't. 345 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: I just won. Okay, I'm going to ask you one 346 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: that's a popular bet. I think Buffalo is going to 347 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: clawber Green Bay, but I think the first quarter to 348 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: the first quarter and a half is going to be competitive. 349 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: I think Matt Lafleur on script will come out with 350 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 1: some tricks, be clever, and they'll hang around. I think 351 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: the second half is all Buffalo. It's ten and a half, 352 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 1: eleven and a half, all odds provided by FanDuel. I 353 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: could never give Aaron Rodgers eleven and a half. But 354 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: what do the sharps say, Well, look, this is a 355 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: really tough one and there's sort of a cowardly move 356 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: that a lot of wise guys will make when they 357 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: can't really come to a consensus on a game. They'll 358 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: bet a half, right, And so you see that with 359 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: like on Thursday Night Football, oftentimes they are betting the 360 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: first half on a game. You see it a lot 361 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: with the Ravens because the Ravens have been one of 362 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: those teams where they can't close people out, but they 363 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: are amazing in the first half. Also betting against the Cardinals, 364 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: betting on the Eagles first half, first half. This is 365 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: a game where the wise guys are going to be 366 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: looking at this and saying, Okay, what is the opening 367 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: line for the second half, and probably going to play Buffalo. 368 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: Because Josh Allen is a primetime player. He who loves 369 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: to show up big in games that are against the 370 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: other prime time quarterbacks. Aaron Rodgers obviously in this scenario. 371 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: So I think what they're probably going to look for 372 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: is to see how is this game shaping up? What 373 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: is the line in the second half, and how can 374 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: they hit the how can they hit Buffalo in the 375 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 1: second half? All right, time for the game you like, 376 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,680 Speaker 1: I haven't brought up. Well, listen, you hit like dude. 377 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: You were all over the lines, which I loved. You 378 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: were all over the Cardinals, which I loved. I will 379 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: tell you that this week. You know, in the podcast 380 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: the favorites that me and my bff Simon Hunter do 381 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: the most as we got. You know, we'll do the 382 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: podcast on Tuesday. We'll talk about every game. Professional betters 383 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: will hit us up and say these are the games 384 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: that we sort of agreed with and didn't agree with, 385 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: and they will critique our answers, and then we'll talk 386 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,199 Speaker 1: about it on Thursday when we do the second podcast 387 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: of the week. Everyone was talking about the Saints. The 388 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: Saints plus one and a half. Yeah, And I was 389 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: surprised because I'll show the audience I put little boxes 390 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: by games that I like, and that is the one 391 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: game I went back and forth on. The Raiders have 392 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: really kind of changed their offense in the last several weeks. 393 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: They are now just a running team, so I don't 394 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: want to bet against them. But it feels like the 395 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: Saints is the right side, doesn't it. Yeah, And that's 396 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: what the wise guys are saying right now. They're not 397 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: too worried about who's going to be playing quarterback. A 398 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: lot of this is about the Saints just got blown 399 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: out by the Cardinals, so there's a little bit of 400 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: a discount because that's what the public last saw. The 401 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: Raiders just beat up the Texans and Josh Jacobs looked 402 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: credible doing it, and they have looked really good the 403 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: past couple of weeks. But I think that's when they're thinking, Okay, 404 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 1: it's time to fade the Raiders going on the road, 405 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: playing in New Orleans, different scenario, much better defense in 406 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: the Saints than the Texans. And also in that Texans game. 407 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: This is where the wise guys make their money, right. 408 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: They don't just look at the final score. They see 409 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: the Texans missed a field goal, there was a pick six, 410 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,639 Speaker 1: they had a drive stall inside the red zone. So 411 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: there are variance is there that make them look at 412 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: that score and think, oh, the Raiders warn't as dominant 413 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: as we think. So that's why they're leaning towards New 414 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 1: Orleans right now. The other game that's come up a 415 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: lot Washington Commanders Trust three on the road at the 416 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: Colts right so, right now, the Colts have decided they're 417 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: going to start. Sam Allinger, hold on, I have to 418 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: excuse myself. I'm gonna throw up right what I I 419 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: refuse to bet games. I don't want to watch. By 420 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: the way, that is a lie because you'll say that 421 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: to me, and then I'll come on this show and 422 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: you'll say, hey, let's go bet Pittsburgh, Miami or and 423 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: I'll be like, dude, don't you tell me, let's be 424 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: let's bet the Jags and the Titans. And I'm like, 425 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: you say to me, you don't want to bet games. 426 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: You can't want to bet the corner TV games. But 427 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: Dolphin Steelers was a standalone game. And I do like 428 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: watching the Jags because they're a bit of a tire fire. 429 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: I think the Jags are Oh my god, I like 430 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: watching the Jags. I don't like watching up Listen to me. 431 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: You can you can talk yourself out of any box 432 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 1: there is. I know this because you're brilliant at this Washington, 433 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: Washington plus three against you against Indie. I feel like 434 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: there's real problems on the cults right now. I was 435 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 1: fascinated when it came out that Matt Ryan was being 436 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 1: benched for Sam Allinger. So I was reading all the 437 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: coverage about it, and I love sort of this inside 438 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:55,120 Speaker 1: high school drama. Frank Reig basically gave him and it's 439 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: not you, it's me logic. He's like, we're gonna bench you. 440 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: We haven't delivered on what we promised to you. We 441 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: thought we'd bring in Matt Ryan. We thought we'd have 442 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, we thought we'd have an amazing offensive line. 443 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: We thought we'd be able to support him. We haven't 444 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: been able to do that. It's on us, So we're 445 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: gonna have to break up with you and put you 446 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: on the bench. So now they're bringing Sam Ellinger. And 447 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,479 Speaker 1: the second part of that story is all about how 448 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: who are the decision makers, Jim Ursey, the GM, Frank Wrich. 449 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: If Frank Reich is the decision maker, does he bench 450 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. It feels like there's a little bit of 451 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: an ownership getting involved here. So now I got a 452 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,480 Speaker 1: sixth round raft choice who's never started going against a 453 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: Washington Commander's football team that can actually play well on defense. 454 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: And I think they're just better with Taylor Heineke And 455 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: you're still getting a little bit of that Carson wentsde discount. 456 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: So that's a game people who have been talking about it. 457 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: I know you don't want to, you don't want to 458 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: do it, but you know, I really can talk myself 459 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 1: out of anything except an argument with my wife. Oh 460 00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: know what she'll say. She'll say when I like to 461 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: start arguing, she'll go, she'll go time out. I'm not 462 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: a caller to your radio show. And I say, I 463 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: don't take calls. What are you talking about? I will 464 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,719 Speaker 1: get my wife will like ask me something, and then 465 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: I'll start explaining something and she goes, you know, I'm 466 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: not on your staff, right, Like, you don't have to 467 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: explain it to me, as if you need to convince 468 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: me of something, like, just talk to me like we've 469 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: been married forever and that always feels really good. Well 470 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: I told you you know this. Our wives look alike 471 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: now they talk yeah, yeah, which to me just feels 472 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,479 Speaker 1: like they talk alike because they are so sick of us. 473 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: It's like, it's not even funny. I know, I get 474 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: at this point. I don't even like my wife and 475 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: I she works, she's so busy. She's an architect, right, 476 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 1: she is so busy. Right now, I've made dinner four 477 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: to five nights a week. I am texting her, when 478 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: do you think you'll be home. I'm not asking because 479 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: I expect you to be home at a certain time. 480 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: I just want to know when to start dinner. She'll 481 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: tell me it's going to be a certain time. Half 482 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: an hour later, she hasn't come home yet. Me and 483 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: my sixteen year old son are eating together. I leave 484 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: food for her, and I can't get upset about it 485 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: because this was our life for twenty years before. Like 486 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: I was working at home and she's crazy busy. So 487 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: I just do it.
