37
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: a fruity, poisonous pleasure orange conja baby in the morning.

38
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: It feels like I should light my mouth on fire.

39
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: And um, someone shouldn't be serving me a flombaide dessert.

44
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: my friend, my brother black Check, and I go through

45
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: every NFL game and we have to agree on five

46
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: games against the spread by the end of the show

47
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: that we're going to enter into the Westgate Super Contest.

48
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: This is the biggest NFL pick up contest in the world.

49
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: If we win the contest, then we win one point

50
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: four million dollars. Did not start off well for us

51
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: black Jack. First two weeks were rough. We did not

52
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: have our legs under us. But last week we brought

53
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: the Mediterranean spread out. We got a little bit loose

54
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: with the Armoretto, and we did better. We did better

55
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: wed a winning week. Listen, the only thing I like

56
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: better than figs and Muretto are dates and Grand Marnier. Well,

57
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: then this should be a great week, So let's kick

58

Speaker 1: it off. We were three and two last week. Let's

59
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,720

65
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: She really took her. Took her three weeks to completely

66
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: co op the podcast and turn us into the fools

67
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: that we are. All right. Here we go Houston at

68
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts by one. If we can't if we can't

69
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: lock it, if we can't lock this in, like without

70
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: even a conversation, I never see you laugh, like like legitimately,

71
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: Like that's an authentic you authentically laughed right there. What happened?

72
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: Tell me why you started laughing? Can I get a penn?

73
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: By the way, because because this is the game that

74
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 1: we that everyone in the office all week long has

75
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: been like, all right, well you guys gonna be on

76
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: the cults this week. You good luck taking the Colts,

77
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: and everyone's known that we're gonna take it. It's the

78
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: first game on the list, and I couldn't like it

79
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: anymore if I tried. I don't even understand. Here's what's interesting.

80
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: Get it This game open on Sunday night, the Colts

81
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: were two and a half point favorites. I saw this

82
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 1: and was so convinced that the Colts that the number

83
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: was gonna go up that I bet the Colt to

84
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: two and a half. It turns out I'm getting like

85
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: I like to get the best of the number. We

86
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: got the worst of it, got so the worst of it.

87
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: You know. The only thing I can think of is

88
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: that you know, there are stats out there, and I've

89
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: seen them that if you're looking at teams that are

90
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: owing three in Week four against the spread, they're generally

91
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: um positive units there, and particularly if you're looking at

92
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: um you know, teams in a situation like Houston. It's

93
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: a divisional game, but this spread is so damn low

94
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: that you're essentially saying the Houston Texans are gonna win

95
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: this game. And they have shown you nothing through three

96
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: weeks to give you any sort of confidence that they're

97
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: gonna be the Colts team that really looks half decent.

98
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: I mean, the Colts hung in there with the Eagles

99
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: last week, had a chance to win that game. They

100
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: beat the Redskins, who looked pretty good, and they were

101
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: in it with the Bengals in Week one in Andrew

102
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 1: lux first game back in a year plus, So there's

103
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: just no reason to take the Houston Texans here. I

104
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: couldn't agree more with you. Um, we have a product

105
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: that Action Network called beat Labs. It's an amazing product

106
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: and like basically you can go through and put in

107
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: all these scenarios and do all this research, um, every

108
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: single matchup, and we've got this day to going back,

109
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: you know, to two thousand three. John Ewing is the

110
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: guy who runs bat Labs for us. He's always sort

111
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: of in his little lab. John Ewing pointed out in

112
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: his story on Action Network the other day that, um,

113
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans were getting all the wise guy money

114
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: and the line was moving that direction, and I slacked him.

115
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm like John Ewing, I wrote at John Ewing, I

116
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: don't understand why the Texans are getting all this action

117
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: and came back to me with all this information and

118
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: I basically said, fuck you, John Wink. I know, I

119
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: was really proud of you. I was really proud of you.

120
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: And you know what he said to me, Let's take

121
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: this to the side. Action Channel. Yeah, and you said

122
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: something in there that makes all the sense in the world.

123
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: You can have all the numbers you want about trends

124
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: and things like that, and that's great and it's useful information,

125
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: but at some point, there's just I've watched this team

126
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: play three weeks and they're not that good. I mean,

127
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: and you're you're talking about a line that's one. If

128
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: this were five and a half, I don't think we'd

129
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: have the same take on it. But at one we're

130
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: just picking the Colts to take this game. Yeah, yeah,

131
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: that I've watched these two teams. One looks markedly better

132
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: than the other one. And oh, by the way, that

133
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: team happens to be at home. Well, not only is

134
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: this a pick for me in the super Contest, not

135
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: only have I already played at at two and a half, Um,

136
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: I now have the side action channel at the ACT

137
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: Network is where all of us go to make bets

138
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: with each other, and now have a bet with John

139
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: Ewing on the Colts. I don't even know just what

140
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 1: else to say. Nothing does a winner Georgie Girl Buffalo

141
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: at Green Bay Packers by nine and a half. God

142
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: help me, Well, why do you say that I want

143
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: nothing to do with this game? I don't either pass

144
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: passing every way, I don't want Aaron Rodgers on one leg.

145
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't want that offensive line. I don't want a

146
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: Vikings tea Bill's team that gets crushed by their Chargers

147
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: at home and goes on the road and annihilates the Vikings.

148
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: Nothing to do with it walking away, thank you very much.

149
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay at Chicago bears By three. Who's playing quarterback

150
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: for Tampa Bay this weekend? You have to be Ryan Fitzpatrick.

151
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: You have to ride that unil the wheels come off it,

152
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: and the wheels will come off it. But I also

153
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: think it's a good thing for the Buccaneers to send

154
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: a little bit of a message to Jamis Winston that

155
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: you don't just get this job back right away, that like, hey,

156
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: this guy played well, you screwed up yet again, and

157
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: we're taking out off the field. This guy played well,

158
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: We're gonna roll with him, and I think they stick

159
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: with him until he has one of his Ryan Fitzpatrick

160
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: three interception games, you know, which could be coming. But

161
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: I think he definitely plays this week. That's great. We're

162
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: paying you at the Action Network to give me an opinion.

163
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: You asked me who's playing quarterback for the Buccaneers. I

164
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: answered your question, are you drunk already. I'm asking you

165
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: a second, I'm asking a follow up if I may, Okay,

166
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: then ask the question without editorial what is the presidential

167
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: news conference? Jim Costa? Can we do it without the

168
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: editorializing and just ask the question, can you give me

169
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: an opinion on this game? Like the Buccaneers? I hate

170
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers. Why the Bears defense is so good they

171
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: will blow up the Buccaneers. Who have the Buccaneers played

172
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: on defense so far? The ship the Bears can get pressure.

173
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: I give you that the Bears have an excellent pass rush,

174
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: but I think their secondary is susceptible, and the Buccaneers

175
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: have shown that they have multiple deep threats that can

176
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: burn teams. There. Who have the Buccaneers played the Philadelphia Eagles.

177
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: They played the Philadelphia Eagles, whose secondary is markedly better

178
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: than the Chicago Bears. And you know what Fitzpatrick did.

179
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: He threw two seventy five yard touchdowns. DeShawn Jackson, Mike Evans,

180
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: O J. Howard, those guys have all proven to be

181
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: legit deep threats. With Fitzpatrick. I'm not saying that the

182
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: Bears can't get pressure. They can, but I think Fitzpatrick

183
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: is going to score on that secondary. You make excellent points.

184
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: I forgot about the Philadelphia Thank you. I would like

185
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: to make this game and maybe fair enough because we

186
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: also have a story in the Action Network today about

187
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: how the Bears defense, which is completely stemy, and stifle

188
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers offense. And listen, it does worry me too,

189
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: because the Buccaneers don't even try to run the ball.

190
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: They don't even attempt it. So yeah, it's it's disconcerting,

191
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: but I do think that Fitzpatrick can beat that secondary.

192
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: Are you buying the liquor that you bring to the

193
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: podcast at like a five and dime? I swear to god,

194
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have like a hole in my stomach before

195
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: the end of the show. It's Grand Marnier. This isn't

196
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: some knockoff. Listen, I recognize knockoffs. I usually higher knockoffs.

197
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,599
Speaker 1: I also bought you authentic Italian amaretto. I didn't go

198
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: Di Sarono. I went authentic Lazzaroni amaretto last week. That's

199
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: an import, my friend. It really is actually amazingly tasty.

200
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: Of course, the the orange accent with the dates delightful.

201
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: Do people do this like if I were to turn

202
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: the Food network right now, would they be saying a

203
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: great after dinner appertif his Grand Marnier and some dates.

204
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: You know what we're doing. We're living life European style. Okay.

205
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: They live life so much better over there. They're less stressed,

206
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: they work less, they enjoy life more. That's what we're

207
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: doing here, Chad. We're working, we're spending quality time with

208
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: each other, and we're enjoying a lovely spread. You know

209
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: we're gonna do right now. Work with me on this.

210
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: We're gonna pull off a dolphin's mid touchdown around high five?

211
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: What put your hand up, give me five? Thank you.

212
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: Georgina Movies, Alonge Miami at New England Patriots by six

213
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: and a half. I want New England. I want nothing

214
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: to do with New England. Can I tell you something

215
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: I knew you were going to say that. I was

216
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: literally getting I was getting ready this morning and I

217
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: said to myself, I said, you know what, let's not

218
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: fight over the Patriots. Let's just pass it, move on.

219
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: But then I said, no, you know what, No, no,

220
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: don't do it. Don't do it. So I went and

221
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: I did some research. It is, as you know, I

222
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: operate off feel. Um, it is how I drive, Um,

223
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 1: it's how I live life. And in their last five

224
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: trips to Foxborough, the Dolphins have lost by an average

225
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: of sixteen points. Okay, the Patriots have not dropped three

226
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: games in a row in the last I don't know

227
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: thousand years. If you look at who the Dolphins have

228
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: beat their three and oh and and I've been impressed

229
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: by Tannehill. I think he's looked maybe better than ever.

230
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: But the Dolphins have beaten the Raiders, the Jets, and

231
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: the Titans, who are three of the worst five teams

232
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Okay, they haven't done anything impressive. They've

233
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: done what they need to do, what they're supposed to do,

234
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 1: which is fine. But now you're going into Foxborough, where

235
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: the last five years they've lost by an average of

236
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: sixteen points a game. The Patriots are off two losses

237
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: straight up in a row. This has every possible making

238
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: of a blowout. I don't know if it's the Grand

239
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: Marnier talking, Oh am I going to get it? Am

240
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: I going to get the Patriot? I kind of want

241
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: to do it. Yes, yes, And it's only six and

242
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: a half here, right, And that's that's why honestly would not.

243
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: It's not because of your analysis. Um, it's because of

244
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: the It's because of the half point six and a

245
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: half feels like it could be something that feels right. Yeah,

246
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: it feels like something we can take advantage of. It's

247
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: going to be a close game, a tight game. All

248
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: right here. I hate it, but I'm gonna do it.

249
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: We're at Dallas Cowboys by three. You want to talk

250
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: about a game. I hate this game right here. Um,

251
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: with this game, I feel like it's just so uncomfortably priced.

252
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: We're talking about the Cowboys and Alliance. Um, what's really

253
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: interesting to me? And by Scoochy bookmaker to the world,

254
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: And I talked about this in the podcast on Wednesday.

255
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have all of a sudden become a team

256
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: that four years was the public team. They are no

257
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: longer a public team. In fact, like as of Wednesday,

258
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: they were getting the fewest bets of any team on

259
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: the board. And if I looked at the Action Network

260
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: podcast Action Network app right now, where I can see

261
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: the volume of bets coming in and every single game, Um,

262
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to see right now, hold on, let me see,

263
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: let me see. Uh, that's terribly rude. Put your phone away,

264
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: so he's on the up. Go download the obits free.

265
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: But that was it's how does she know she's so good?

266
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: She's the best? This bet? This game still has some

267
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: of the fewest bets literally literally the fewest bets of

268
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: any game on the board. The Cowboys have the fewest

269
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: bets of any game on the board. Scooch and I

270
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: talked about how this is gonna be a corner TV game,

271
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: meaning like like you put it on the corner because

272
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: nobody's freaking betting. I mean, is there an outcome in

273
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: this game that would surprise you, because there's really not

274
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: from I'll tell you the outcome that's gonna surprise me,

275
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: not the outcome that's not going to surprise me. We're passing. Agreed,

276
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: we'll get to our next pick in a second. First,

Speaker 1: they lost another Ricardo Allen this week. They lost another

304
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: defensive back this week. Keanuneil is out, Dian Jones is out.

305
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: Like they are getting as we like to say in

306
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: the dessert business, flambade right, the Saints industry term. The

307
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: Saints just lit them up the week after the Panthers

308
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: just lit them up. And obviously Andy Dalton is no

309
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Giovanni Bernard is no Alvin Kamara. But who

310
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: do they have that can play defense? Right now? Why

311
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: are you looking at your phone? Because I I did

312
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: research on this game as well, um, because I kind

313
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: of like Cincinnati also. And here's what scares me about

314
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: the Falcons. The Falcons go in without their left guard,

315
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: both starting safeties, and middle linebacker DeVante Freeman's not playing.

316
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: But you looked at like you look at the Falcons

317
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: last week against the Saints. They put a ton of

318
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: points on the board. So maybe you think, all right,

319
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: well the Falcons can score, maybe they want to shoot out,

320
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: but their offensive line is twenty six in past blocking efficiency.

321
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan was excellent when he had a clean pocket.

322
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: When he had pressure, he was awful. The Bengals defense

323
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: can get pressure. I mean, there's there's no doubt about it.

324
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: They can get pressure. I think they do. It wouldn't

325
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: shock me if Cincinnati won this game. What does it

326
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: say that every single week we are all in on

327
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: the Bengals and the Colts. Does that mean that we're

328
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: Please don't take Andy Dalton again. I really can't take it.

329
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: It's like Gina is studying our habits. Really is really is?

330
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: Who is that movie with Scarlett Johansson where like the Robot,

331
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: she plays the robot that I think it's Joaquin Phoenix. Yeah,

332
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: he falls in love with his like Georgina is the

333
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: her and where Joaquin Phoenix. We're in love with Georgina,

334
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: but she's also in love with Georgina. She's also like

335
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: in our ads and dictating what our decision should be. Well,

336
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: then we have to throw her a curveball because we

337
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: can't allow her to do that. So we have to

338
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: take the banks. We have to reclaim control. We gotta

339
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: take the Bengals again. Here's why I think we're doing this.

340
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: By the way, I think we're sharp and I think

341
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: the bookmakers tend to shade against the Colts and the Bengals.

342
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: I agree. We got two games going. We got oh

343
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: my god, we do no surprise. We got the Colts

344
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: minus one against Houston. We got the Patriots Jesus Christ

345
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: minus six and a half over the Dolphins. I cannot

346
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: believe we agree to that. I might want to throw

347
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: a challenge flag on that. And we got the Bengals

348
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: plus five against the foul kinds. Georgina New York Jets

349
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: at Jacksonville Jags by seven and a half. No, thank you,

350
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: Regina Philadelphia at Tennessee Philadelphia by four. Yes, please, h

351
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: don't give me that look. Don't tap your cup, don't

352
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: even pass go. You don't even know what I'm gonna say.

353
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: You're gonna say if you say anything other than of

354
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: course we're playing the Titans, because who whoa, whoa whoa whoa. No,

355
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: we are not no, no, no, no, no no no.

356
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: Someone go get the tape from from week two of

357
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: this podcast, when we agreed that if the Tennessee Titans

358
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: screwed us one more time, we were avoiding them, that

359
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: you promised that, you promised it. Won't listen to you.

360
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: We are not doing it, No do it. No, We're not.

361
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: I Am never again. Listen, Chad, they fucked us in

362
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: the first two weeks of this hard think about it.

363
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: We took the Miami Dolphins I mean we took them

364
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins in Week one, they lose with Mariota

365
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: going out with his mysterious ailments and blame Gabbert comes in.

366
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,479
Speaker 1: Then in week two, we take the Houston Texans against

367
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: the Titans, and what happens. What happens, Chad? The Titans

368
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: come out and get a win to win the game.

369
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: This team, we can't do it. This team is trash.

370
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: They're unpredictable. You don't know what you want to take

371
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: them against. Carson Wentz and the Eagles. Carson Wentz? Did

372
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: you see how good he looked at his first game

373
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: back against our colts? And now you want to roll

374
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 1: with the Tennessee Titans against that Eagles defense? How are

375
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: they scoring on the Eagles? Chad? How? I'll tell you what.

376
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what. Let's just

377
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: say this is Blackjack Week. Okay, I'm giving you the Patriots.

378
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 1: I'm giving you not the Titans. Thank you, you already

379
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: promised it. But Here's what I'm telling you. Look at me.

380
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: If I can't trust you, our relationship is gonna have problems.

381
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: Look at me. I'm looking at you. Okay, telling telling

382
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: you right now. No me, I'm vulnerable right now. Yeah,

383
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now. A home dog with the

384
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: road favorite getting a ridiculous amount of the money. That

385
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: is a recipe for winning a game. Okay, I'm just

386
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: telling you, chy To, I agree with you in certain

387
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, if you look back on history,

388
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: dogs getting so little money, that is the game you

389
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: wanna play. We're not playing it all right. I hate

390
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: the Titans. I love Tennessee, but I hate the titles.

391
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: We're playing this next one though, Cleveland and Oakland, Oakland

392
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: by two and a half. Bacon Mayfield, he sounds episode

393
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: British picking black Jack. You fucking picked Baker Mayfield on

394
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: this black Jack, and our relationship is over. You don't

395
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: really pay a lot of attention to what goes on

396
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 1: at your own company, do you? Did you pick him?

397
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: I released a goddamn video in front of a green

398
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: screen yesterday afternoon, taking them on the money line. You

399
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: know what, I remember that I actually saw it this

400
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: morning on the Twitter and I liked it or I

401
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: retweeted it one of those things we didn't. Yeah, I

402
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 1: did go check my timeline. It was good. It's a

403
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 1: good video. I love those green screen videos. You I think,

404
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: what do we call them? Where? Where's the where's the action?

405
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: Where's the action? Again? On top of everything going on

406
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: at the company? Listen, I filmed it fifteen feet away

407
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: from where you sit. I think I saw you, and

408
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 1: I'm pretty loud you know I chugged a bottle a

409
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: cheap champagne to do that video for you. Well, I'm

410
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: not sure you did it for me, and I'm not

411
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: sure you needed the encouragement I didn't. Listen. We have

412
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: a person who shall remain nameless at the Action Network

413
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: who I sent out and I said, get me a

414
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: bottle of champagne for this video. He comes back with

415
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: a warm bottle of seven dollar persecco. It sounds like

416
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: something Connor Davidson would do. Was it? Connor Davidson was sure?

417
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: Was Connor davids is amazing? The wheels have fallen off

418
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: that kid in a hurry. He had potential? Did then

419
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: then we hired him? So according to you, in a

420
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: video you may or may not have done on a

421
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: definitely did on a at a media company that I

422
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 1: may or may not have influence at you. I've already

423
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: chosen the Cleveland Browns, which is disappointing because I think

424
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: Oakland's a right side here. I've got a really good

425
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: reason and it has nothing to do with with Baker Mayfield,

426
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: the Lord of Cornwall. It has everything to do with

427
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns defense. Okay, the Raiders went up against Miami,

428
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: whose defense is is okay, They've played well, and the

429
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: Raiders couldn't get the job done there. They got totally

430
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: stymied in the second half against the l A Rams.

431
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland's defense is really good. It's the one thing I

432
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: think everyone can agree on about the Browns. It's really

433
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: really good. They can get pressure up front. The secondary

434
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: has been fantastic and creating turnovers. I don't think the

435
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: Raiders are going to be able to do much against

436
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: the Browns defense and Mayfield. Look, if you want to

437
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: talk about Mayfield, he looked outstanding. Certainly some of that

438
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: is the Jets warrant. I'm sure totally prepared for him.

439
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: It was kind of a moment that he came into

440
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: and he did really well. But you know, he looks

441
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: competent back there, man, I mean he does. He looks accurate,

442
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: he looks comfortable throwing on the run. I think that

443
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: defense is enough to carry them past the Raiders. The

444
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 1: Raiders are a mess. Here's the difference between you and me.

445
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: Six inches, one of many differences between you and me.

446
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take it low hanging. It's a low

447
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: hanging date. Um. The difference is the difference between you

448
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: hang and you and me is you look at every

449
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:33,719
Speaker 1: game in a vacuum. I look at the numbers you like.

450
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 1: The Brown's defense has been incredible all three games, and

451
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: they're coming off ten days rest. You get ten days

452
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:47,239
Speaker 1: between games. I've got the home team by less than

453
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: field goal in a matchup in which I basically think

454
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: they are evenly matched. Do you think they're even you

455
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: think that Raiders defense, what I said, is anywhere close

456
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: to the Cleveland ends. I think these are two teams

457
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: that are okay. I will agree with that, but they're

458
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: okay in very different ways. It's not a great matchup

459
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: for Oakland. Oakland's defense is not very good and their

460
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: offense has been efficient, but hasn't been able to score. Listen.

461
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: This is the black Jack Gets What He Wants episode

462
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: sponsored by Hello Fresh. So I am going to give

463
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,479
Speaker 1: this to you, even though I will tell you the

464
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: bets I have made so far. Maybe because it's Cleveland.

465
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: It is Cleveland. Now you're backtracking. Oh my god, I've

466
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 1: never now I have heard you like. The podcast is

467
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,479
Speaker 1: gonna end in about four minutes if we do this.

468
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: I've heard you authentically laugh, and now I've heard you

469
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: lack confidence. I'm trying to get a program out of this.

470
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm giving it to you. This thing is gonna end.

471
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: Well some people might appreciate that. Well, not really, Chad,

472
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: because if they do, then they're not listening. Georgina Seattle

473
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: at Arizona Seahawks by three. This game makes me throw

474
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: up in my mouth. Moving on New Orleans and New

475
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: York Giants Saints by three and a half. I mean,

476
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: the Giants are clearly the right side here. I will

477
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: never bet them again. Oh so you won't put the

478
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: Giants again, but you'll jump on the Tennessee Titans bandwagon.

479
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: How many games? How many games do we have so far? Four?

480
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: Including the Browns. Alright, let's put the Giants on here,

481
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: and you like the Giants? I do. I do too.

482
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: I think it's the right side. Chad Wheeler, Baby, Chad Wheeler, seriously,

483
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: Chad Wheeler. By the way, Jeff Schwartz had a great

484
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: tweet today, Chad Wheeler says. Jeff Schwartz pointed out that

485
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 1: he was the lowest rated offensive lineman by Pro Football

486
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: Focus last week. Gave up three sacks to j. J. Watt,

487
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: but the Giants won, So all of a sudden, Chad

488
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: Wheeler is better than Eric Flower. Hold on, hold all right,

489
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: and seeing now we need to talk about this. Did

490
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: you watch that game entirely or did you watch it

491
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 1: on red zone? I don't. I watched when it was

492
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: on red zone. I turned my back, all right, I

493
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: watched all of it. And in the first half the Giants.

494
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: The difference in the Giants offensive line was noticeable. They

495
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: gave Eli Manning extra time and he completed passes with ease.

496
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: It was one of the most effective games he's ever

497
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: had in his career. Over eighty percent completion in that game.

498
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: And that's with j. J. Watt getting his three sacks

499
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: in the second half. Okay, Chad Wheeler, first of all,

500
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: he's a big son of a bitch. He is tall,

501
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: flowing mane of hair. Uh and he was way better

502
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: than Eric Flowers. Eric Flowers was a revolving door. He

503
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: was better. I'm not saying he was great. But if

504
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: Chad Wheeler was the worst rated offensive lineman last week,

505
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: what in the hell does that say about Eric Flowers?

506
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: Listen and with you on the Giants. I'm just glad

507
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: Wheeler played well because I was worried they were gonna

508
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: call Schwartz to get him back out. Why why are

509
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: you checking your watch? You want to look at it's

510
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: it's slack notifications. Maybe if you check them more often,

511
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: you know what's going on at work. We're taking the Giants,

512
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: So now we have five games, but there's more said.

513
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: Maybe let's go through the rest of them. Let's be thorough.

514
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: Can we make the Browns? And maybe? Yes? I that's

515
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: my suggestion. When did you start working at the Action Network?

516
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: Is today the first day? Are you drunk already? What

517
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: are you even talking about? Georgina San Francisco at Los

518
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: Angeles charges Los Angeles by ten, that's crazy talk. It

519
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: is crazy. Georgina knows it's crazy talk. Here's the problem.

520
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: There's nothing to like about. There's nothing to like about this, Like,

521
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: clearly the Niners gonna have a quarterback. Oh C J. Bethard,

522
00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: come on, see you later. How much do they wish

523
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater was still available? Honest to God? Right, nothing

524
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: to say there. Yeah, this game stinks. Yea high heaven.

525
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 1: Georgina Baltimore at Pittsburgh Steelers by three. No advantage, nobody's

526
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: got any advantage here. Yeah. We've both been on the

527
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: Steelers in different weeks of this season, both been disappointed

528
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: by them. Steeler's offense is definitely better than Baltimore. Baltimore's

529
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: defense is better. The line is three, which is probably

530
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 1: right where it should be. No interest where value players,

531
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: my friend interest you. But we got a conversation coming up. Yeah,

532
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: I think we do. Denver at Kansas City Chiefs by five.

533
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: Did you know Kansas City isn't even in Kansas? What

534
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: a country? All right? I'm not going to sit here

535
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: idly by and allowed Georgina to take shots at the

536
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: United States of America. This is our country. We love

537
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: it dearly. I'm not gonna have it, Georgina. I love you,

538
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: I love my country more. I will say, Kansas City,

539
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: great town, really good barbecue, really good music, way better

540
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: than St. Louis. Right. Well, here's the thing. My whole

541
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: family is from Chicago. I threw that softball right over

542
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: the middle for you. I'm from Chicago. The problem is

543
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: that my mom grew up in St. Louis, so my

544
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: grandparents grew up We're in St. Louis. So every year

545
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: for spring break I would go to St. Louis to

546
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: visit my grandparents. And you can like your grandparents and

547
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: hate St. Louis, right, Okay, otherwise you wouldn't be allowed

548
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: back in Chicago. I think Kansas City might be a

549
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: better town in St. Louis. There it is, That's all

550
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: I wanted in this game. However, I don't think Kansas

551
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: City is the right side. Agreed. There we go. Let

552
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: me tell you something. I just I have to get

553
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: this off my chest because the people who it's times

554
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: like this when I really I hate the Internet because

555
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 1: I go on Twitter, and you know, I'm very active

556
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: on on Twitter, and I have bet against the Kansas

557
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: City Chiefs the last two weeks, and uh, the Chiefs

558
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,800
Speaker 1: have lit the scoreboard up and covered bill spreads, um

559
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: and people just want to jump on me and say,

560
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: why why do you hate Pat Mahomes, Why why aren't

561
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: you on board with him? Well, I'm not on board

562
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: because I don't think he's throwing six thousand yards and

563
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns. I mean, like, I just don't know what

564
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: people are thinking. He's had a great start to the season, unbelievable,

565
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: but at some point it's coming back to earth. It

566
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: just is. So I'd like to be on the other

567
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: team the week it does. Also, in case you guys

568
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 1: haven't noticed, when you're watching Pat Mahomes throw all these touchdowns,

569
00:34:54,040 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: their defense stinks. It's awful. They're in shootouts every a

570
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,240
Speaker 1: week and should be on their hands and knees thanking

571
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: the good Lord that Patrick Mahomes is thrown for fourteen

572
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns because they need every one of them. These are

573
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: your options right now with the Kansas City Chiefs. You

574
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 1: know that bookmakers are inflating the line for the Chiefs,

575
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: and so if you're going to play a Chiefs game,

576
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: you have to play the other side because that is

577
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: where the value is going to be. If you don't,

578
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: if listen, if you don't want to like, if you're

579
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: too invested in the Chiefs, just pass. But to me,

580
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: the right side, here's Denver. Absolutely Denver, alright. I mean

581
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: this game is is Denver's defense is is going to

582
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 1: be able to get pressure without having to pull these

583
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: these these stunts that other teams have to pull. I

584
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: mean that they're just going to do it. Also, this

585
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 1: game is in Denver, Okay. That is a tough place

586
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: to play. I would say it's one of the four

587
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: toughest stadiums in the NFL to travel to. Can we

588
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 1: review because we got a decision to make. We are

589
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: on the Colts minus one over the Houston Texans. We

590
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: are on the Patriots Jesus Christ minus six and a

591
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: half over the Miami Dolphins. We are on the Bengals

592
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: plus five against the Falcons, and we are on the

593
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: Broncos plus five at home against the Chiefs. We have

594
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: two Maybies on the board. We have Cleveland and Oakland,

595
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: uh Cleveland plus two and a half, and we have

596
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 1: the Giants plus three and a half against the Saints.

597
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: To me, it's a no brainer, Like there's two things

598
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: going on here. I just want to say we're fucked

599
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: either way because we're either taking the Cleveland Browns on

600
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 1: the road or We're taking the New York Giants against

601
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. So either way we're going with

602
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: the Gins. This game is gonna shaft us. I would

603
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: lean that way as all. Right. Here we go. That's it,

604
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: that is done. This is our three out of four weeks.

605
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: We're on the Giant this and the Colts and the Bengals.

606
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: And people wonder why we're like below what the Colts

607
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: and the Bengals have cashed for us the Giants haven't.

608
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: It's true. Here we go, people, this is our final roundup. Ks.

609
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: We got the Denver Broncos plus five against the Kansas

610
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,919
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. We got the New York Giants plus three

611
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: and a half against the New Orleans Saints. We have

612
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts minus one against the Houston Texans. We

613
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: have the New England Patriots minus six and a half

614
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins. And we have the Cincinnati Bengals

615
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: plus five. You know what the crazy thing is, we

616
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: just took the Giants. Both of us agreed that was

617
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: the better pick. We both have New Orleans Saints super

618
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: Bowl futures. Yea yeah, And I tells you what you're

619
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: dealing with here. I have a Houston, Texans. I told

620
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: you that was a mistake. It turns out you maybe right.

621
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: This is something, it's something you're not you, but you

622
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: never know. Like each week you got to look at

623
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: the numbers. I'm with you. I think I think the

624
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 1: Giant Saints game is probably going to be a shootout,

625
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: and I think that's the right side. I think this

626
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: is the week you see Beckham like, just go off.

627
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: I think he scores two touchdowns, gets like a hundred

628
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: and thirty five yards. I'm with your brother. Here we go.

629
