That's incredible, big bank, small banks. 7 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: I like to make money. All right. This is the 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: ultimate Kabai want to pa. 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 3: And we are good way, Hello and welcome to the 10 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 3: Action Network Podcast.

Rahiem, your Cowboys came 19 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 3: through for you. Are you dreaming big? 20 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: Dreaming really big? 21 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 2: I think this is a Super Bowl contendent team. Look, 22 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 2: this team is seven and zero against the spread. They 23 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 2: continue to outperform the market. And you know when you 24 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 2: outperform their market, that says good things about this team. 25 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 2: It's rather predictive, So I'm really excited. 26 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 3: Good teams win, great teams cover, So Dallas is winning 27 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 3: us a lot of money. Also winning a lot of money. 28 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 3: Road underdogs, road underdogs under a touchdown entered this week 29 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 3: thirty and twelve against the spread. There's six and two 30 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 3: against the spread this week. All six teams that covered 31 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 3: one outright, So the Saints, the Patriots, the Cowboys, they've 32 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 3: got three more. We'll talk about seventy two percent cover 33 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 3: rate ROI of sixty five percent, so that is a 34 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 3: big story rate now, also a big story. The guys 35 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 3: who are not a big story. We got Cooper Rush, 36 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 3: we got Trevor Simeon, we got Mike White. These guys 37 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 3: are just taking all of our money and just taking 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 3: taking the candy from the kids come and trick or treating. 39 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 4: They're taking the money from the favorites. It is a 40 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 4: while the week. 41 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 3: We got a lot of games to talk through. We'll 42 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 3: get the money at Football and the Hot Read. Of course, 43 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: odds today are from bat MGM, the official odds provider 44 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 3: of the Action Network podcast. So let's dig into that 45 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 3: Cowboys Vikings game a little bit. Cowboys twenty sixteen kind 46 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 3: of an ugly game. I think there were fourteen drives 47 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 3: of five plays or less, a lot of punts happening, 48 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 3: and then we got Cooper to Cooper, Cooper rush Amari 49 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 3: Cooper taking over for the game winning drive. 50 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 4: What did you take away from this team that is 51 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 4: this more about the Cowboys or more about the Vikings 52 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 4: doing the Vikings again, I think it's. 53 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 2: A little bit of pose. When you look at the Cowboys, 54 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: they outperformed the Vikings offensive. We had more first downs, 55 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: they had more total plays. They had four hundred and 56 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 2: nineteen total yards, the Vikings two hundred and seventy yards. 57 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: Wild play six point two to four point six. 58 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 2: Look this Vikings team, we say, I say it every week, 59 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: Mike Zimmer is living in the Stone Ages. 60 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: You're watching the game. At point Kirk Cousins. 61 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: Had thrown eight of his twenty three attempts behind the 62 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, and when he's thrown beyond ten yards, 63 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: he was like four or five four hundred and one 64 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: yards and a twenty point two yards per a tempt 65 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: with one touchdown. So Mike Zimmer continues to play conservative. 66 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: He likes to run the ball and establish the run. 67 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: And you look at the the Russian stats when they 68 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: ran on early downs. They ran twenty times on early 69 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 2: downs and they had a thirty five percent success rate 70 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 2: when they passed the early downs, which they get twenty 71 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 2: nine times the eight a forty one percent success free. 72 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 2: So this guy's just playing the conservative and you can't 73 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 2: play conservative in today's NFL. The Cowboys, even with Cooper Rush, 74 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: they passed the ball down the field and that's what 75 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: won them the game. 76 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Vikings run game. This has not gotten going 77 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 3: this year. As good as Dalvin Cook is, the line 78 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 3: is playing a little better. Christian Deisol, the first round pick, 79 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: is in the lineup and looked good tonight, but it's 80 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 3: gonna take some time. He's a little better pass blocking anyway. 81 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 3: The key to this game for me was third down. 82 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 3: Dallas was seven or fourteen. That's good, especially actually with 83 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 3: your backup quarterback. They're converting on that game winning drive. 84 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: They had a third and long and converted on that 85 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: little pass Ezekiel Elliot who bounced off about four guys 86 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 3: and got the big first down and then the touchdown 87 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: after that. The Vikings one of thirteen on third down. 88 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 3: That is hideous, especially coming out of the bye week. 89 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 3: When you're supposed to get drop offense in order and 90 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 3: get everything going. But it's a lot of third and 91 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 3: lungs because it's all those early down run plays that 92 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: are not working that are burying the team and they 93 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 3: just can't make up and make up the ground there. 94 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 4: So this is the Vikings. 95 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 3: You know, Kirk Cousins is now one in ten against 96 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 3: the spread against opponents who are coming off of a 97 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 3: bye week. Kirk and Zimmer are five and fourteen against 98 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 3: the spread and toss up games. This is just who 99 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 3: the Vikings are. Oh yeah, without a doubt. I mean 100 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 3: this is I mean, this is who they are. Like 101 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: when you look the last two weeks, they played the 102 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 3: Detroit Lions. 103 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: They had a double digit lead against the Lions with 104 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 2: five minutes to go and the Lions end. 105 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: Up taking the lead. 106 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: They had a double digit lead in the fourth quarterings 107 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: to Carolina Panthers and have to go to overtime. So 108 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: this is a team that never makes it easy. They're 109 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: way too conservative and honestly, I think Mike Zimmer needs 110 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 2: to go. They need to take him in and throw 111 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: him into bushes. 112 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: Is all what we say. 113 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 3: I think it's coming. It may not be tomorrow or 114 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 3: by the time that you guys listen to this. But 115 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: I think it's just a matter of time. I think 116 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: this is probably the last season. If the Vikings don't 117 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 3: make the playoffs, it's hard to see him sticking around. 118 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 3: And it is a rough schedule to come still. So 119 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 3: Cowboys obviously covered they started the week. 120 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 4: So this was a wild ride. 121 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 3: Obviously we didn't know Dak Prescott was going to be out. 122 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 3: Rahim and I both liked the Cowboys in this matchup. 123 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 3: We talked about it last week. Cowboys were like one 124 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 3: and a half two, two and a half point favorites. 125 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: This got all the way to closing at Dallas. Being 126 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 3: a four and a half point underdog. Dallas covered. Everything, 127 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 3: didn't matter whether they got them early in the week 128 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 3: or late in the week. Dallas covered. They won the 129 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 3: money line plus one seventy. That was just one of 130 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 3: many underdogs. So let's rewind a little bit too late 131 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 3: afternoon and we got the Super Bowl champion Tom Brady 132 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 3: and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in New Orleans and New 133 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 3: Orleans took care of business again. This is three times 134 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 3: in the row. Tom Brady with the box is zero 135 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 3: and three in the regular season against the Saints. This 136 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 3: defense just feels like it has his number. What'd you think, 137 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, without a doubt. 138 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: Tom Brady threw multiple interceptions and I think that was 139 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: the biggest difference in the game. But then also, like 140 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 2: a lot of it was penalties, Like the Buccaneers were 141 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 2: really undisciplined. They had eleven penalties for ninety nine yards, 142 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 2: second most of this season, and six of them set 143 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 2: up the Saints for first downs. Now, I think it 144 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 2: was a really rough day for officials on rough in 145 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: the passive penalties, as we saw in the Vikings game 146 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: as well. But at some point, you know the rules 147 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 2: of the game. You know that you can't hit quarterbacks 148 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 2: at certain places. And the Bucks kind of beat themselves today, 149 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 2: and you know, for James Wilson to go out there, 150 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: Terris acl and Trevor Simmyon to come in and step 151 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 2: in and still be able to beat this team, I 152 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: think it's a lot about the Bucks, but also says 153 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 2: a lot about the Saints defense. 154 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Saints defense came to play. They have just 155 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 3: been The Dennis Allen defense is really matched up well 156 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 3: against Tom Brady. They're able to get pressure on him, 157 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: and we know, especially as Brady's gotten older, that's the 158 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 3: one thing that we know that he struggles with. Brady 159 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: got sacked three times, he had two interceptions, The Bucks 160 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 3: had three turnovers. Of course, even despite all the things 161 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 3: that we're saying, the Saints took the lead by what 162 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: a pointer or two? The Bucks get the ball back 163 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 3: with a couple of minutes left. Every person on the 164 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: planet knew how that game was ending. Tom was about 165 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 3: to drive down the field, and a few plays the 166 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 3: Saints managed the clock poorly and the Bucks had a timeout. 167 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 3: They had plenty of time. They're gonna go kick the 168 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 3: field goal and get the win, just like Tom always does. 169 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 3: And then a couple of plays later, Brady throws a 170 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 3: pick six, and it looked to me too, like the 171 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 3: Saints were baiting him. You know, in the previous play, 172 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: the safety looked like you should have made a play 173 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 3: on it and didn't quite get there. And the very 174 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 3: next play you could see the safety kind of sagging off. 175 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 3: And then right as the third you just been on it, 176 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 3: and you know, I don't know, that should have been. 177 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: A pick six. 178 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: And then you got a little lucky to take it 179 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 3: to the house. But the Saints just feel like they 180 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 3: know how to play this team. It's a little odd 181 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 3: that they're the one team let's figure it out. 182 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: Well. 183 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: I mean, I kind of I agree with that, but 184 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 2: then I kind of disagree with it because you have 185 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 2: to remember that their first game game against Tom Brady 186 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 2: in this incarnation of the Buccaneers, was the opening day 187 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 2: last season, and obviously Tom didn't have a whole off 188 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: season with the pandemic. He's just learned in the system. 189 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 2: Him and Bruce arians were still getting it together. I 190 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 2: just think last year, early on in the season, it 191 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 2: was easier to have the Buccaneers number. And I think 192 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 2: with this this game, sometimes these games take a life 193 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: of their own. And when you have that many penalties, 194 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: when you win, when you lose the turnover battle, you're 195 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 2: not going to win too many NFL games. And the 196 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: fact that they were right there, like they were down 197 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 2: multiple scores and then they came back and made a game. 198 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: It was twenty three twenty one at one points, so 199 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 2: they had a shot. No one thing to that you 200 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 2: and I always both pay attention to. So the Saints 201 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: come out in the second half, they go up twenty 202 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 2: three seven on the first possession, so they're saying, good, 203 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: the Bucks score a touchdown, you're down sixteen. There's only 204 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 2: one decision here. 205 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: You go for two. 206 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 4: Sixteen is eight plus eight. 207 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: We all know this. 208 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 3: You go for two, the Bucks kick the extra point. 209 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 3: The next touchdown, the kick the extra point. So now 210 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 3: it's twenty three to twenty one. And let's be fair, 211 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 3: maybe you don't make both extra points or in both 212 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 3: two point conversions. 213 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 4: To tie it up. 214 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: But it is the Bucks. 215 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: He is Tom Brady and all their red zone weapons 216 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 3: and low Kia. I wonder if that actually may have 217 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 3: cost them the victory here because the score out. You know, 218 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 3: eventually later on when they took the lead, they had 219 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 3: to try a two point conversion again, so they lost 220 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 3: another point there, and I think that it would have 221 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 3: maybe been tied there. And then you don't get quite 222 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 3: as aggressive and don't throw that pick six, and you 223 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 3: have to like your chances. It's still Tom Brady against 224 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 3: Trevor Simeon. So yeah, it seemed like a mismanaged spot. 225 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 3: What do you think about now the same to the 226 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 3: Bucks long term? Are you getting a little worried about 227 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 3: Tampa Bay? 228 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 1: I don't think you can get worried about Tampa Bay. 229 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 2: I think, if anything, they're gonna be better because they're 230 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: gonna get some of those corners back. So I think 231 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 2: that's that's gonna help this team. Obviously, the offense is 232 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 2: still rolling, they have a ton of weapons. I think 233 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay is fine. I'm more worried about the Saints 234 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: because obviously Taysom Hill is still out with the concussion. 235 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 2: Trevor Simeon is not the answer, Like, and I'll put 236 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 2: that out to you right now. He's only thirteen and 237 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: twelve as a starter, and you know, with the full 238 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 2: week of teams preparing for this guy, he's not gonna 239 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 2: be able to do anything. I mean, he played turnover 240 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: free ball against the Buccaneers, But do you expect Trevor 241 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: Simion to go out there and not turn the ball over? 242 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: I just don't see it. 243 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 4: But do you think Taysom Hill is the answer? 244 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: Like? 245 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 4: Is that that's really? You'd rather have Hill than Simeon. 246 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 2: The one thing about Hill is that he adds another element. 247 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: He is from that Lamar Jackson Tim Tebow type. 248 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 3: Okay, hold on, hold on Tim Tebow, Lamar Jackson, Kay, 249 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 3: from the Tim Tebow here. 250 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 4: That's the problem. Can you throw it all. 251 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 1: I think. I mean, we saw last year. 252 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 2: What's gonna happen is that this team is gonna have 253 00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 2: to rely on our defense and they're gonna have to 254 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: run the ball, and he's gonna have to make. 255 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 1: Just enough plays. And we've seen an NFL. 256 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 2: If you could play defense, you could run the ball, 257 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 2: and you have a quarterback who can make just enough plays, 258 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: you can win some regular season games to sneak into 259 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 2: a playoffs. So I think that's that's capable of happening. 260 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 2: But Tremor Simeon, he's not a guy who can make 261 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 2: plays for the most part. 262 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that that's fair. 263 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 3: Definitely, Taysom Hill is gonna get used a lot in 264 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 3: short yardage and and you know, third downs and a 265 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 3: red zone and all those areas. And at the end 266 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 3: of the day, I guess if if the quarterback that 267 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 3: you know is the better option where it matters most 268 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 3: on those key downs and in the red zone, probably 269 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 3: that's just your quarterback. So we'll see when he gets healthy. 270 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: It does look like James is probably out. I thought 271 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 3: that this might be a good BILO spot for Tampa. 272 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 3: They head into the bye week now coming out of 273 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 3: the buy They're fine. They're smooth sailing after the bye Washington, 274 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 3: the Giants, the Colts, and the Falcons, they're gonna be fine. 275 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 3: I thought it might be a good BILO, but I 276 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 3: checked the books. They're too smart. They haven't really moved 277 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 3: it all off of this. So the Bucks are still 278 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 3: the big NFC favorites. They're still second to favor in 279 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 3: the super Bowl. 280 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: But we'll see. 281 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 3: Maybe next week on the bye week, maybe people forget 282 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 3: about them a little bit more. 283 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 4: I'm still keep an eye out on the division. 284 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 3: The Saints are only half game back now because they've 285 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 3: played one less, and really once they win that one, 286 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 3: they're half game ahead because of the tiebreak. But I 287 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 3: like the Bucks Division. I like the one seed odds, 288 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 3: potentially Super Bowl odds. Tom Brady four touchdowns again for 289 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 3: the fifth time this season, still my MVP, even with 290 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 3: that pick six, So I'm looking for some BILO chances here. 291 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 3: I'm not really seeing the odds great on it yet though. 292 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 3: Let's go to the other late afternoon game. So New 293 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 3: England and the Chargers similar again, another four point underdog, 294 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 3: another cover and money line winner. The Patriots plus won 295 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 3: sixty five winners twenty seven to twenty four. 296 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 4: I don't really think it was as close to the 297 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 4: final score. 298 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 3: Look, you know, the Patriots were one and four in 299 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 3: the red zone, they kicked a lot of field goals. 300 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 3: Chargers had a touchdown with like forty seconds left. This 301 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 3: was more like thirty one seventeen. This was a dominant win. 302 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 3: I think I'm pretty impressed with the Patriots here, what 303 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 3: did you think? 304 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: I was very impressed with the Patriots. 305 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,439 Speaker 2: I did feel like the patrio, Like when I was 306 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 2: watching the first quarter, in the first half, I felt 307 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 2: like this was going to be a dominant Chargers win 308 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 2: because they looked like the Patriots had been making a 309 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,599 Speaker 2: lot of mistakes, holding penalties, ball security. 310 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: Just they just looked out of it. 311 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 2: And then at some point they were able to just 312 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 2: go out there and flumingx Justin Herbert, and this is 313 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 2: the second year in a row where they made him 314 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 2: look like mediocre or bat like last year. Obviously, these 315 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: two teams play charges got blown out forty five zero, 316 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 2: but Adrian Phillips was huge, Like he had you know, 317 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 2: the interception and pretty much in the game. 318 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: So it's just I'm really impressed with Matt Jones. 319 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 2: Like Matt Jones has just shown that he can make 320 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 2: enough plays, and I think going forward you kind of 321 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: got to look at this Patriots team as a playoff team. 322 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 2: Now when it comes to the Chargers, they got injuries 323 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 2: in the secondary. I think I'm a little scared for them. 324 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 2: What do you think about the Chargers going forward? 325 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little worrying because don't forget they're coming 326 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 3: off the bye week on this one, and before the 327 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 3: bye week was when they got smashed by the Ravens, 328 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 3: So you have to figure, Okay, well that's a tough loss. 329 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 3: But you go into the bye week focused. We've talked 330 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 3: all season about like the Chargers have got to get 331 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: their first and second down game going. 332 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 4: They've got to convert earlier. And it didn't happen their. 333 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 3: Offense, Like what do they do during the bye week 334 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 3: that the offense didn't get much better? They suddenly on 335 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 3: third down they couldn't convert only four or twelve on 336 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 3: third down. We knew that regression was coming. Herbert had 337 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 3: two interceptions that one that was a pick six late 338 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 3: was Jared Cook just didn't know the ball was coming. 339 00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 3: Just guys on not the same page. You just had 340 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 3: two weeks get on the same page, like, what what's 341 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 3: happening here? So I am getting a little concerned. The 342 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 3: charges are four to three, but that AFC is really 343 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 3: getting congested in the middle of now, So yeah, I'm concerned. 344 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: I also, this is what I thought was gonna come 345 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 3: up this game. I said the Patriots might run forty 346 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 3: times on this run defense. The Patriots ran thirty nine 347 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 3: times for one hundred and forty one yards. They just 348 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 3: controlled the clock, limit the offense. This is Bill Belichick 349 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 3: against these great offenses. And we said earlier in the season, 350 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 3: do these Belichick trends hold? When has he ever done 351 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 3: it without Tom? I feel like he's gotta have earned 352 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 3: some respect from you now, has he earned a low respect? 353 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 2: He's yeah, he's like I've made the joke that he 354 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: might be Jeff Jeff Fisher without time. 355 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: He's not Jeff Fisher. I mean, like even like, like 356 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: you mentioned the run game. 357 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 3: Hold on real they are four and four. That's pretty 358 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 3: Jeff Fisher. You have to admit Jeff Fisher loves a 359 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 3: good eight tonight. 360 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean, I. 361 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 2: Mean you got to look at the fact that Mac 362 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 2: Jones is actually improvement going through the year. I mean 363 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 2: today they would dominated a run game. He had a 364 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 2: forty nine success rate. I want to really go back 365 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 2: to what you said about the Chargers early down success 366 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: because that was supposed to be a key point of 367 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 2: emphasis coming out of the buy week, and I've read 368 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: some quotes from Brandis Daily saying he was going to 369 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: try to make sure beat they're going to be more 370 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 2: aggressive on early downs. But they had twenty eight pass 371 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 2: in early downs. It just had a thirty six success rate. 372 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 2: So there's something going on with this offense, and it's 373 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 2: truly concerned for their chances. 374 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 3: It is concerning, and I'll say too, this is a 375 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 3: tough one for underbetters. So I final score twenty seven 376 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 3: twenty four, with about two minutes left, we're getting to 377 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 3: the two minute warning, it's twenty four to seventeen. Patriots 378 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 3: kick a field goal to extend the lead, and then 379 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 3: that Chargers, you know we mentioned they had that touchdown 380 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 3: with like forty seconds left, great grab by Josh Palmer 381 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 3: and it goes over by half a point. So tough 382 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 3: one if you're on the under on this one. But 383 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 3: a staff that I saw too that surprised me and 384 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 3: surprised me, but didn't I'm surprised that I haven't. 385 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: Heard it before. 386 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 4: So we know about Bill Belichick against the rookie quarterbacks. 387 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 4: We know that that's dominant. 388 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 3: Belichick against first year coaches twenty four and four lifetime 389 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 3: and including four to oh this year, which is all 390 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 3: four of their wins. So yeah, Belichick versus Sally, we've 391 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 3: been both of us have been very high in Staley 392 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 3: this year. We maybe should have seen this coming a 393 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 3: little better. Belichick just knows how the game plan and 394 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 3: get his guys ready. 395 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 1: You know. 396 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 2: So interesting, we didn't see it coming, but the sharp 397 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 2: solar coming because this line actually opened up I think 398 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 2: it was around five and a half six and actually 399 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 2: closed around four and a half, so there was some 400 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 2: The Patriots took some significant sharp money to push this 401 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 2: line down. So it's gonna be interesting to see what 402 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 2: the Sharps do in regards to the Chargers going forward. 403 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 2: I know next week they're two and a half point 404 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 2: role favorites against the Philadelphia Eagles. 405 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: I think you're going to see that go to three. 406 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 2: And then we look at the Patriots next week obviously 407 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: their role favorites as well. So that's gonna be interesting 408 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 2: to see with how sharps and the public are attacking 409 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 2: these teams. 410 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 3: All right, let's do another one of these road underdog winners. 411 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 3: In the early games. The Tennessee Titan and the Minneapolis 412 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 3: Colts wild game that I really in my notes, I 413 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 3: feel like both teams deserve to win and lose this game. 414 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 3: I don't know what was I don't know what the 415 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 3: outcome was supposed to be in this game. Carson Wentz 416 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 3: looked like old Philadelphia. Carson Wentz with two awful, awful 417 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 3: interceptions at the end of the game that cost the 418 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 3: Colts the game, maybe cost the Colts their season. So 419 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 3: the Titans win thirty four to thirty one in overtime. 420 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 3: Titans actually opened as favorites ended up as three point underdogs. 421 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 3: I know we had a ton of money coming in 422 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 3: on the Colts. It was a very sharp play this week, 423 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 3: and they looked like they had it and then they 424 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 3: didn't have it. The Titans won plus one thirty five 425 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 3: to the money line. Carson Wentz big trouble. What did 426 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:43,719 Speaker 3: you think about Carson? 427 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: He started off the game on fire, and then it 428 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: felt like when c Y Hilton got hurt, maybe he 429 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: had just one less receiving option and he's forced it 430 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 1: in different places and they kind of stalled out. So 431 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 1: it's just, you know, I had a joke. 432 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 2: I felt like Carson Wentz was playing three D chests 433 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 2: with that first interception because if he takes the sack, 434 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 2: the game. 435 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: Is over on a safety. 436 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 3: So I agree it was actually kind of a smart 437 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 3: play because, yeah, because your safety, then you got to 438 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 3: kick it off, so you're better off. Hopefully you just 439 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 3: get it incomplete or intentional grounding or something not the safety, 440 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 3: but they were better off that way. 441 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 4: It wasn't smart play. It just worked out horribly for him, 442 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 4: like it always seems to. 443 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so funny because even if literally the pick 444 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,239 Speaker 2: six is the only thing that saved them, because if 445 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 2: they intercept the ball and just kneel down, the Coats 446 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 2: only had two timeouts left and the Titans could run 447 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 2: out the whole clock and kick a field goal. So 448 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 2: it was just interesting how that played out. And then 449 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 2: it felt like this was the Coats game to win, 450 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 2: and for whatever reason, they got the ball first in overtime. 451 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 2: They started out, then Carson throws an interception and you know, 452 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 2: they did everything right. They slow down Derrick Henry and 453 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 2: I think there's a big conversation about if Derek Henry 454 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 2: is wearing down because he wasn't the same guy today. 455 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 2: It's pretty clear that that play action game for the Titans, 456 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 2: it's working. Wonders they've gone back to it. Obviously, Arthur 457 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 2: Smith left in free agency become the head coach of 458 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons. But since they've going back to this 459 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 2: play action game, tan Hill has been on fire. Two 460 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 2: hundred sixty five yards, three touchdown, even though two interceptions. 461 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 2: He made the plays when it counted. AJ Brown was 462 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 2: huge one hundred and fifty five yards and the touchdowns. 463 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,200 Speaker 3: So I don't know what to make of these quarterbacks. 464 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 3: I feel like any outcome could have happened the way 465 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 3: this game was going. Both quarterbacks through three touchdowns, both 466 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 3: quarterbacks through two interceptions. We had to mention that the 467 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 3: interception that Tannehill had when it should have been a backbreaker. 468 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 3: The Colts are about to get the ball back in 469 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 3: Titan's territory. The guy picks it off and then tries 470 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 3: to run a little bit and injures himself and fumbles 471 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 3: the ball and his way down. The Titans to get 472 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 3: the ball right back, and I think the very next 473 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 3: play age, Brown breaks a long touchdowns, So it's literally 474 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 3: like a ten or fourteen point swing just on this 475 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 3: fluke injury at the worst time possible. Very strange game. 476 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 3: The Titans had one hundred and sixty one penalty yards 477 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 3: on eleven penalties. The best play the Colts have run 478 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 3: all season long is just throwing it deep and getting 479 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 3: passing appearance. It's like the best thing that they do. 480 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 3: They did it last week too, and their big win. 481 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 3: They just kipt chucking it deep and drawing pass in appearance. 482 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 3: But the way that that goes wrong. We got to overtime. 483 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 3: The Colts through it deep through what I thought was 484 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 3: a pretty clear pass interppearance, and then they didn't call 485 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 3: it because you're relying on the refs not the actual play, 486 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 3: and then they had to punt it away and then 487 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 3: the Titans come down and win or no, I mean, 488 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 3: I went through the interception and so they have to 489 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 3: win after that. So you can't you can't rely on 490 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 3: the refs. They're not as going to come through for you. 491 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 3: So they came through a lot of the game and 492 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 3: then not when it mattered most here. 493 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 2: It is so funny to see it because I thought 494 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 2: that was a pass in appearence in overtime too, and 495 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 2: I think, I don't know, but they when you have 496 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: two chances to win it overtime and then the second 497 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: one you only need a feel gool you got execute. 498 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 2: So it's looked like the Titans have a three game 499 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: lead into division and they might have wrapped this thing 500 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 2: on up. So it looked like the Colts are playing 501 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 2: for the wildcard, but I don't know if they can 502 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 2: recover at this point. 503 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a rough spot for them. They really needed 504 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,880 Speaker 3: this one. Also rough if you bet on the total here. 505 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 3: This game was twenty four to twenty four with ninety 506 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 3: seconds left, and the total was at fifty one, went 507 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 3: up at sixty five because we go, we go to overtime, 508 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 3: We got that pick six, we get the score in overtime. 509 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 3: So yeah, it ended up not being as close as 510 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 3: they could have been. But with ninety seconds left, twenty 511 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 3: four to twenty four, you're feeling pretty good. At least 512 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,120 Speaker 3: you're hoping maybe get out of there with the field 513 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 3: goal and a push there, but no such bluck there. 514 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 3: All right, let's speed up and do a few. 515 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 4: Lightning round games here. 516 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 3: We got some more fun action to get to the 517 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 3: biggest upset of the season so far, your AFC one seat, 518 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bengals going down on the road to the New 519 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 3: York Football Jets. That was an eleven and a half 520 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 3: point underdog for the Jets. This line was three and 521 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 3: a half a week Ald go. I gave it out 522 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 3: as my hot read. 523 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: I was feeling great. 524 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 3: I had such good I had eight points of closing 525 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 3: line value. Somehow, I have eight points of closing value 526 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 3: on the Bengals and I lose. Somehow I gave up 527 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 3: eight points of closing value on the Cowboys, and I went, 528 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 3: isn't betting football fun? 529 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: Oh? Really fun? 530 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 2: Betting the NFL specifically, it's more fun than anything else 531 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 2: because it's just sometimes the clothing line value just doesn't 532 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 2: work out for you. 533 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 3: So Mike White, obviously is the story of the game. 534 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 3: Dude makes his first start thirty seven of forty five, 535 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 3: four hundred and five yards and three touchdowns. He's catching 536 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 3: the two point conversion off of the Phillies special, which 537 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 3: apparently every team just added their playbook now. He completed 538 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 3: his first ten passes. Honestly, the Jets barely won here, 539 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 3: but they deserved it. They had almost two hundred more 540 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 3: yards in the Bengals. They ran twenty four more plays, 541 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 3: they had thirteen more minutes time of possession. The three 542 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 3: turnovers that they had as all that kept as close. 543 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 3: The Jets really dominated here. 544 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: Oh they absolutely dominated. 545 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 2: Like when you when you actually look at what the 546 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 2: Jets did, they had a sixty percent success rate on 547 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 2: early downs, fifty nine percent success rate period sixty, sixty 548 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 2: seven percent success rate in passing downs. This is an 549 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 2: absolute dominant performance. If Mike White doesn't throw two interceptions 550 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 2: which were tipped like it looked like the Bengals were 551 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 2: completely out of this game. So for the Bengals, they 552 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 2: have an eleven point lead in the fourth quarter. 553 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: That was shocking. 554 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 2: But then it was even more shocking to see the 555 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 2: Jets actually come back and win this game in regulation. 556 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 2: These NFL games are just they take on a life 557 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 2: of its own. And it was a classic letdown spot. 558 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 2: And you saw a lot of sharp money all over 559 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals. The week after they dominated the Baltimore Ravens. 560 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: The defense that was able to just shut down Lamar Jackson, 561 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: they just couldn't shut. 562 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: Down this white guy. 563 00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 2: So it's just It's absolutely hilarious. And I think the 564 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 2: biggest takeaway from this is that you really have to 565 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 2: be concerned with Zach Wilson. Like, I mean, Zach Wilson 566 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 2: is not even a competite quarterback at this point. We 567 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 2: all know the stats about the Jets inability to score 568 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 2: in first half, but Mike White was just out there. 569 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 2: I mean, he's just throwing the ball all around the field, 570 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 2: and he looked like the better quarterback. He looked like 571 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 2: the quarterback who was drafted in the first round. So 572 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 2: it's gonna be interested to see what they do going forward. 573 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, they certainly look good. Mike White had himself the 574 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 3: day I in researching. Let's be honest, I knew very 575 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 3: little about Mike White going to this game. I don't 576 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 3: know about you, but I found out that his last 577 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 3: year in college he led to the entire NC double 578 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 3: A in yards per play. And that's a head of 579 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 3: like Patrick Mahomes and Trubisky and like, that's that draft 580 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 3: and he was number one the entire NC double A. 581 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 4: So the guy obviously knows how to throw the ball. 582 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: He looks good. 583 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 3: Suddenly Thursday Night, Jets Colts is looking a little interesting. 584 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 3: This was supposed to be for the Colts. Just a 585 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 3: nice easy win, all right, we got through the Titans game. 586 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 3: Now let's just get a nice seazy one and we 587 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 3: got the backup and everything. I don't know, it could 588 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 3: be Mike White week. We could get Mike White wins 589 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,959 Speaker 3: two and five days here if we're not careful. 590 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 2: So that one thing I would the one thing I 591 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 2: will say to that is that I think you do 592 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 2: want to tread lightly with that. Like a lot of times, 593 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 2: you see these unknown quarterbacks, they come in and they 594 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: start carving up teams. Look at Taylor Hinnicky last year. 595 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 2: Taylor Hinnicky was a monster last year when he stepped 596 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 2: in for the array of quarterbacks the Washington football team 597 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 2: had last year, and you see he started carving these 598 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 2: guys up. But once you get these guys on tape 599 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 2: and you're able to prepare for him, you see a 600 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 2: different quarterback. So I think there's a reason why the 601 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 2: Colts are ten and a half point favorites on Thursday. 602 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly, I'm just saying it's not quite the walkover 603 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 3: that it probably would have been. Like, well, let's be fair, 604 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: if Zach Wilson was starting in this game instead of 605 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 3: Mike White. 606 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 4: You feel great about the Colts when. 607 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, without without a doubt, Yeah, yeah, without a doubt. 608 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 4: Mike White just adds a little variability. 609 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: He's a little bit what it is. He's competent, which 610 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: does not be more what you can say about Yeah. 611 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 3: And he's a rookie, so let's not make the rookie 612 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 3: excuse either. This is his first start, so well done 613 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 3: to Mike White. All right, we wanted to hit a 614 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 3: stink of the week here. 615 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 4: Smelly, smelly, smelly. 616 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: It's the smell. It's quite pungent. Dude, plug your nose, 617 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: it's stinks. This is your stink of the week smell. 618 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 3: But we got two stink of the weeks, one for 619 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 3: me and one for you. So stink of the week 620 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 3: for me, I think is the stink of the year 621 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 3: so far. Rams Texans. So let me set the stage. 622 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 3: The Rams destroyed the Texans for most of the game. 623 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 3: It's thirty eight to nothing. We're fast forwarding all the 624 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 3: way ahead. It's thirty to nothing. The Texans get the 625 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 3: ball back twelve minutes left. This line closed at sixteen 626 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 3: point five, so thirty eight nothing, sixteen and a half. 627 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 3: We're feeling pretty good about our copper here. We're already 628 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 3: stopped paying attention. We're just trying to see if we're 629 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 3: to get the over at forty six and a half. 630 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 3: We're probably going to, So Texans give the ball back now. 631 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 3: At this point, Houston with Davis Mills, has scored forty 632 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 3: six points in three hundred and seventy eight minutes. That's 633 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 3: a point every eight minutes, and there's twelve minutes left, 634 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 3: so thirty eight till one. That's the score that we're 635 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 3: trending towards here, maybe thirty eight till one and a half. 636 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 3: The Texans at this point have recorded fifty eight yards 637 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 3: total the entire game. It's the fourth quarter. It's over, 638 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,439 Speaker 3: it's not over. Texans second half drives had gone at 639 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 3: this point for negative three, negative nine, negative seven negative 640 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,239 Speaker 3: for five yards. So that's the second half so far. 641 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 3: Here we go ten plays, sixty yards in a touchdown, 642 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 3: Rams go three and out. Texans give the ball back 643 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 3: touchdown to Brandon Cook's. Hooray for Brandon Cooks against. 644 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: His old team. 645 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 3: We're happy for him. It's fine. We're still thirty eight 646 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 3: to fourteen. The cover is fine. Texans on side Texans 647 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 3: recover six plays, fifty yard touchdown. It's fine, it still 648 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 3: is thirty eight to twenty. All we needed them to 649 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,479 Speaker 3: do is just kick the extra point. We cover by 650 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 3: half point, get out of here. But for no reason, 651 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 3: the Texans decided to go for two. Davis Mills runs 652 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 3: it in. The Texans lose. 653 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 4: By sixteen, cover the sixteen and a half. 654 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 3: Hopefully you played it a little earlier, but if you 655 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 3: wait to tell just before kickoff, you got boned hard 656 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 3: on this one. 657 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 4: So that is my stink of the week and stink 658 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 4: of the year so far. 659 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 2: Oh that was absolutely ugly, like you could have walked 660 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 2: away in the third quarter. Really, the first half, I 661 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 2: think you had this cover in the bag and for 662 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 2: it to completely fall apart and the fourth quarter is 663 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 2: just I don't know what to say, but I have 664 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 2: a stink of the week as well. It's the Washington 665 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 2: football team last week. Look, last week they played the 666 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers, sharp money all over. The Washington football 667 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 2: team pushed this line down from ten to seven. They 668 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 2: had drives at the Packers twenty three, twenty seven, one, three, 669 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,959 Speaker 2: and twelve which they scored zero points. They were zero 670 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 2: for four in the red zone with two tonal So 671 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 2: me being the guy that I am, I like to 672 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 2: bet on that. Regressing to the me against the Denver 673 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 2: Broncos team which has been bleeding. 674 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: Points lo and behold this week. 675 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 2: They start off the game, they get the ball first, 676 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 2: they drive it into the green zone. They're at the 677 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,719 Speaker 2: Denver thirty. They go forward on four to two. They 678 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 2: don't get it. Denver gets the ball, they fumble. Guess 679 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 2: what happens. The Washington football team gets the ball back. 680 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 2: They go back into the green zone. They miss a 681 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 2: field goal. They had six trips into the green zone 682 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 2: with no points. They only punt it once. They only 683 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 2: punt it once in the game and have ten points. Look, 684 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 2: the offense is a complete mess. Over the last two weeks. 685 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 2: They have thirteen trips inside the opponent's thirty yard line. 686 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 2: In the past two games, they have one touchdown, two 687 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 2: field goals, three black field goals, and six loss of downs. 688 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 2: I want to say that maybe they should start taking 689 00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 2: the points, but even had. 690 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: Three black field so it can't take the points. There's 691 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: no point. Literally can't take the points. 692 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 2: I just I don't know what to do with this 693 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 2: team anymore. If you can get into the red zone 694 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 2: and the green zone. 695 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: You can't score. What can you do? 696 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 3: And by the way, let's let's talk about to the kicker. 697 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 3: They signed a kicker two weeks ago whose name literally 698 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 3: is blew It. They signed a kicker whose name is 699 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 3: blew It and he's had three field goals blocked in 700 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 3: two weeks. It's ridiculous. I was on Washington too. We 701 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 3: said six and two of the road underdogs. Washington should 702 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 3: have been seven and one. They should have won this game. 703 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 3: They should have probably won last week, or certainly at 704 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 3: least covered. I don't know what the regression monster. I 705 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 3: don't know if that's ever coming for Washington. Yeah, it's 706 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:40,479 Speaker 3: not coming at all. 707 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: And that got the kicker. He needs Ocho Sinkle his 708 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: name or something. It's time for a change. 709 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 3: If your name is blew It and you become an 710 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 3: NFL kicker, you either don't care at all about names, 711 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 3: or everything in your life is about redeeming your name. 712 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,719 Speaker 4: It's one or the other. It's not working for him. 713 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 5: You know. 714 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: He always kills me. 715 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 2: Because there's often football players with foot names like Quentin 716 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 2: Jammer was a quarterback. Right, that's the perfect name for 717 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 2: a quarterback. It's just you've got to find something I 718 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 2: always loved. 719 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 4: I think he's hurt right now. But the Saints. 720 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 3: My favorite kicker before was the Saints signed Will Lutts, 721 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 3: and if you wrote it out like in fantasy, you 722 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 3: put the little K for kickers, so it said Klutz, 723 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 3: so it just was Klutz. So I love had Klutz 724 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 3: for the kicker that was my previous But now I 725 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 3: think blew it has taken the cake, especially because he's 726 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,239 Speaker 3: blew it every time he tries a field goal. All right, 727 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 3: let's run through the rest of Sunday Action and wrap 728 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 3: up Week eight. I thought the Steelers were gonna steal 729 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 3: stink of the Week two. I thought they had one 730 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 3: of the worst calls of the entire season. 731 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: So it's three to three. 732 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 3: Just before the half, they try a fake field goal again, 733 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 3: take some points, Steelers. 734 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: You can't score the ball. Take the points, so. 735 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 3: They snap it direct to the kicker, Chris Boswell. He 736 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 3: gets to snap your rolls out. Let's be fair, he's 737 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 3: a little more mobile than Ben Roethlisberger. At least at 738 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 3: least they got the ball in the hands of someone 739 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,959 Speaker 3: that can make a play. He throws it to nowhere. 740 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 3: And gets cancussed. So now Pittsburgh has no kicker, they 741 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 3: get no points out of it. They kick it off 742 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 3: out of bounds. Later, they can't kick an extra point 743 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 3: to tie, they can't try a field goal to take 744 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,080 Speaker 3: the lead. And I thought Pittsburgh was just trying everything 745 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 3: they could to blow this game. But the Browns blew it. Two. 746 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 3: Steelers win fifteen to ten, another road underdog winner plus 747 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 3: teenty five in the money line there. Justin Fields had 748 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 3: his best game as a pro, over one hundred yards rushing. 749 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 3: Also one of the plays of the year. Incredible play 750 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 3: by Justin Fields. Botched fourth down, He's got like seven 751 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 3: guys on him, somehow escapes everyone runs it in for 752 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 3: a score to tie it, but it's the Bears, so 753 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 3: they missed the extra point and don't tie it. Forty 754 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 3: nine Ers immediately long touchdown drive thirty three to twenty two. 755 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 3: They win and cover no punts, no turnovers, no sacks 756 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 3: all game for the Niners. A lot of smart people 757 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 3: thought the Lions might finally win this week. A lot 758 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 3: of smart people were wrong. The Lions got murdered forty 759 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 3: four to six rough under Somehow, the Eagles decided to 760 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 3: kick a field goal with two minutes left and we 761 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 3: got the over forty eight, So sorry about that one snoozer. 762 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 3: In Buffalo, the Bills be the Dolphins twenty six to eleven. 763 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 3: Kind of a weird push. Another weird late one. The 764 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 3: Bills score a touchdown with a minute left to go 765 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 3: up fifteen and for some reason decided to go for 766 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 3: two and they missed it, so we pushed the fifteen 767 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 3: on either side. So rough beat or lucky beat, depending 768 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 3: on what you thought there. Falcons offense did nothing against 769 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 3: the Panthers. Raheem, you got me on that one. We 770 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,279 Speaker 3: were had to head on it and the Falcons no 771 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 3: showed two hundred and thirteen yards. Another road underdog winner 772 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 3: in nineteen thirteen for Carolina and Jacksonville coming off the 773 00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 3: bye week, just as anupt as ever, in a world 774 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,240 Speaker 3: where we don't know anything that's happening in the NFL, 775 00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 3: at least we have the Jacksonville Jaguars. They got carved 776 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 3: up by Gino Smith and Alex Collins. Gino completed his 777 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 3: first fourteen passes, almost made a halftime without incompletion. 778 00:34:59,400 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 1: On that drive. 779 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,439 Speaker 3: The Jaguars had back to back twelve men on the field. 780 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 3: Penalties coming off of a bye week Seahawks thirty one 781 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 3: The Fight in Urban Myers seven big on the board 782 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 3: light to avoid the shoutout.

The total is at fifty two This is 822 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 3: a tough one for me. Rahiem, what do you make 823 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 3: of this line? 824 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 1: This is a really, really, really. 825 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 2: Tough one because obviously, you know, the Kansas City Chiefs 826 00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 2: the worst defense in the league Dead last ep. I 827 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 2: could play dead last and success rate, But for me, 828 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 2: I tend to like spots like this. I think it 829 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,279 Speaker 2: says a lot that this team lost by twenty four 830 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 2: points last week and they're still laying ten and a 831 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,879 Speaker 2: half points. So if I had to best something, I'm 832 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 2: inclined to lay to ten and a half points or 833 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 2: the ten points with the Kansas City Chiefs. We all 834 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 2: know this team's not going to score three points this week. 835 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 2: The Giants are really in a tough position, so I'd 836 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 2: be looking that way. But I think this is a 837 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 2: past of me. I'm not willing to lay ten and 838 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 2: a half points ten points with the Kansas City Chiefs, 839 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,320 Speaker 2: even if they had Patrick Mahomes, So I'm sitting this 840 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 2: one out. 841 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. I know that you're not a big trends guy. 842 00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 3: There are a lot of trends that are telling us 843 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 3: to be very careful with the Chiefs here. The Chiefs 844 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,919 Speaker 3: are two and five against the spread this season. They're 845 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 3: currently on a seven game home losing streak against the spread. 846 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 3: That's they're failing to cover by nine point six points 847 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:13,120 Speaker 3: during that stretch. They're also on a three game losing 848 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 3: streak against the spread as a double digit favorite. 849 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,800 Speaker 4: The last win as a double. 850 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 3: Digit favorite or the last win and cover as a 851 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,360 Speaker 3: home team, both of those exactly one year ago today 852 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,360 Speaker 3: November one, twenty twenty against the Jets, who are awful 853 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 3: and trying to lose games. So the Chiefs just aren't 854 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 3: winning in these spots, or whether they're winning but not 855 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 3: covering Patrick Mahomes when he's a touchdown or more than 856 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,120 Speaker 3: a touchdown favorite only seven and twelve and one against 857 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 3: the spread, that's not working. 858 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 2: Well. 859 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 3: We know the Daniel Jones thing eleven and five against 860 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 3: the spread on the road. So there are a lot 861 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 3: of trends there. I know you're not really a trends guy. 862 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,120 Speaker 3: Do any of those trends make you nervous at all? 863 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: They kind of do, But I mean I have a 864 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: trend of my own. 865 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 2: Like when you look at teams that lose by twenty 866 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 2: four more points, they're three h five, two sixty five 867 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 2: and thirteen. That's around fifty three point five percent, which 868 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 2: gives you about a one percent edge. 869 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,879 Speaker 1: So I do think there's some value. 870 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,479 Speaker 2: In actually back in these teams that lose by twenty 871 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 2: four more points. Now they're gonna be tough to stat 872 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 2: and you're not gonna hold this team to three points. 873 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,240 Speaker 2: So you're asking yourself, is Daniel Jones and this Giants team. 874 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: Will be able to keep up? And I'm not short 875 00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:24,440 Speaker 1: that's the case. Yeah. 876 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,439 Speaker 3: I had a similar trend to one that you said, 877 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,919 Speaker 3: so something. I found teams that lose by seventeen or more. 878 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 3: So that's the Chiefs that was last week against teams 879 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 3: that win by seventeen or more, which is the Giants. 880 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 3: That's not the way we thought this trend would go 881 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 3: on this game, the Giants are coming off the big 882 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 3: win against the Panthers, not really meaningful. 883 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:43,760 Speaker 4: Chiefs had the big loss. 884 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 3: So in that spot, the teams that lost big are 885 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 3: ninety seven to sixty and four against THO spreads. So 886 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,840 Speaker 3: let's say sixty two percent cover rate, and when that 887 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 3: team that lost is at home, it goes up to 888 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 3: sixty four percent with twenty five percent ROI. So I 889 00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 3: do it's hard because if you look at like the 890 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 3: last month, I think we're giving the Chiefs offense too 891 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,400 Speaker 3: much credit. They're only thirteenth in EPA per play over 892 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,760 Speaker 3: the last four games, they're seventeenth and passing EPA. Patrick 893 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 3: Mahomes on EPA and the CPOE good quarterback measurement, he's 894 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 3: only sixteenth. So the offense is measuring out as average. 895 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,879 Speaker 3: But it's the Giants. This is a pretty good get 896 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 3: right spot. Like I would feel very dumb to talk 897 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 3: myself into the Giants based on all these trends. 898 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:29,319 Speaker 4: And suddenly it's twenty one. 899 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 3: Nothing like ten minutes into the game, Tyreek Hill has 900 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 3: two long scores and we're like, oh right, the Chiefs 901 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 3: still have Tyreek and Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes. So that's 902 00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:42,919 Speaker 3: my My indsting is similar to yours. I don't love 903 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 3: this game. I don't want to play it a much. 904 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 3: If I had to take a side, I like the 905 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 3: Chiefs better. A week ago, when we did the hot read, 906 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 3: I wanted to take the Chiefs. The line was under 907 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 3: fourteen and I thought it would get over fourteen. But 908 00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,479 Speaker 3: then I got thrown off by that ugly Chiefs lost 909 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 3: last week. So I wonder, now are we overrating the 910 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 3: Chiefs and the line is too high or did that 911 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 3: weird set of results last week actually biased a field 912 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 3: goal of value? Now we're down to like ten points 913 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 3: here when I thought it might be fourteen or higher. 914 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 3: I think I'm willing to give the Chiefs another chance. 915 00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,719 Speaker 3: It's a home game, it's Monday night, it's Pat Mahomes, 916 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,480 Speaker 3: it's against the Giants. It's all the trends and everything 917 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 3: that's nice, but it feels like it's just trying to 918 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 3: outthink myself to pick against the Chiefs here. 919 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,360 Speaker 1: So if I had to pick the. 920 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 4: Side, I'm going to play the Chiefs. 921 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 3: My question for you is that, so they're ten ten 922 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 3: and a half right now, are you going to tease 923 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 3: the Chiefs here? 924 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 4: Would you like them on a teaser or do they 925 00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 4: worry you that they might lose. 926 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,479 Speaker 1: I wouldn't tease the Chiefs just because you're teasing from 927 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,840 Speaker 1: ten ten and a half down to three and a 928 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: half or three Like when. 929 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 2: I'm doing a teaser. I want a team to be 930 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 2: able to have to win by less than a field goal, 931 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 2: So they can win by a field goal they're good, 932 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 2: or I want a team that's going to be catching 933 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,279 Speaker 2: the key number of seven. So this doesn't fit that 934 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 2: threshold for me, and I just it's not a leg 935 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 2: that I think is going to hit more than seventy 936 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 2: two point three percent of the time, which is what 937 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 2: you need to break even on these teachers. 938 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: So that's something I would personally leave alone. 939 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 3: What about as far as the longer shots go, So 940 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 3: the Giants, I'm seeing plus three sixty five on the 941 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,560 Speaker 3: money line at bet mg out, So in my head, 942 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 3: I think that's about twenty two to twenty three percent chance. 943 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,320 Speaker 3: Do we think there's any chance that Giants get the 944 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 3: win here on the road? Is there a quarter of 945 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 3: a chance twenty five percent that they get there? 946 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no. 947 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 2: And one of the reasons why I don't see the 948 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 2: Giants made a force enough turnovers to be able to. 949 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:43,799 Speaker 1: Win this game. 950 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 2: And then obviously you have a Giants offense which hasn't 951 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 2: been great. They're twenty four fo yards per drive and I, 952 00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 2: honestly I just. 953 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 1: Don't see it. 954 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,479 Speaker 2: So for me, I think I gotta be looking Chiefs 955 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 2: for pass here. I think this is just the spot. 956 00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 2: This is their season right here. This is not a 957 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,919 Speaker 2: Chiefs team that's allowed the coast at this point. They're 958 00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 2: playing for the playoff. Last they're three and four in 959 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 2: a year. They lose this game. 960 00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: Obviously it's a non conference game, but they lose this game. 961 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,560 Speaker 1: They're a big trouble. 962 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,800 Speaker 2: And they don't have the easiest schedule because they have 963 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 2: the Packers next week and then they have a division 964 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,040 Speaker 2: game against the Raiders and then the Cowboys after that. 965 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 1: So this is a must win game for the Chiefs. Yeah. 966 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,360 Speaker 3: And I will say this though, as much as we 967 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,719 Speaker 3: are very down on the Chiefs right now, and they 968 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 3: deserve it, we should be a little down on them 969 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:30,799 Speaker 3: compared to what we thought coming into the year. 970 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,320 Speaker 4: This was a pretty good Sunday for the Chiefs. 971 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,800 Speaker 3: You know, the Chargers got the loss, the Titans almost lost, 972 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 3: the Bengals got the loss. 973 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 4: That AFC. 974 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 3: Everyone is very congested and as bad as the season 975 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 3: has gone for the Chiefs. You beat the Giants, which 976 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 3: you better beat the Giants, but you're back to four 977 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,319 Speaker 3: and four. You're right in the mix. It's not going 978 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 3: to be easy. The defense is getting a little better. 979 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 3: I think I don't think that they're the worst defense 980 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 3: in the league now for the season. They are last 981 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:01,600 Speaker 3: few weeks they're more like pretty bad, but not historically awful. 982 00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:02,880 Speaker 4: That's a big step forward. 983 00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,240 Speaker 3: And we know that if you're as good as Mahomes 984 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 3: and the Chiefs can be an offense with a pretty 985 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:09,560 Speaker 3: bad defense, that's okay. 986 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 1: We just can't be historically. 987 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 3: Awful and we can't turn it over in the red 988 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,800 Speaker 3: zone like twice every game. So there is a chance 989 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,080 Speaker 3: here that this was This could be kind of a 990 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 3: turning point. The Chiefs get a nice easy win here, 991 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,400 Speaker 3: get things going again. A lot of results went their 992 00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 3: way this weekend. This could be a spot to buy 993 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 3: loo on futures if you believe in them. I'm not 994 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 3: recommending yet because I don't believe in like the super 995 00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 3: Bowl future, but the division maybe looks winnable. You know, 996 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,840 Speaker 3: there is there is a path here for the Chiefs 997 00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 3: to get back in even as rough as things have gone, 998 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,640 Speaker 3: just by how things went in the AFC today. 999 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 4: What do you think about that? And go I agree 1000 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 4: with you. 1001 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,840 Speaker 2: I can definitely see that, especially obviously the Chargers loss 1002 00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,360 Speaker 2: are still not that high on the Raiders, so I 1003 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,319 Speaker 2: do think there's there's a path in there. And then 1004 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 2: obviously they still have some division games left, so I'm 1005 00:44:58,520 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 2: not even willing to count them out. 1006 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,719 Speaker 3: Of a vision, so I grew with you in that 1007 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,719 Speaker 3: as all right, let's get to our Week nine hot 1008 00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 3: read before we get you out of here. 1009 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 5: Hot Wrap seventy ice lights, ice Cream, nineteen Sound nineteen Hora. 1010 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go first on this one because as we 1011 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,839 Speaker 3: just talked about the Raiders, both of us not really 1012 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 3: believing in them. 1013 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:26,360 Speaker 4: I'm gonna believe in the Raiders. 1014 00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 3: So the Raiders are two and a half point favorites 1015 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 3: in New York facing the Giants. We just talked a 1016 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 3: lot about the Giants. Giants aren't good. The Raiders might 1017 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 3: not be great. They are possibly. You know, they're the 1018 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 3: two seed in the AFC right now thanks to having 1019 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,399 Speaker 3: a nice, you know, nice week for the Raiders too. 1020 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,359 Speaker 3: They sat home on the bye week and watched while 1021 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,719 Speaker 3: the Chargers lost, watched while one of the teams they're 1022 00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 3: tied with the top the AFC lost in the Bengals. 1023 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 3: So good week for the Raiders. So the Raiders defense, 1024 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 3: I think is pretty underrated. We didn't give them much 1025 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,359 Speaker 3: credit coming into the year, but they've been right over 1026 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 3: the last four weeks. Raiders are top seven overall in 1027 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,879 Speaker 3: EPA on defense and top seven in pass defense. Pass 1028 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 3: rush has been great all year. I think they're going 1029 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 3: to give a bad Giants offensive line a ton of trouble. 1030 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 3: Daniel Jones is going to struggle against that pass rush. 1031 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,879 Speaker 3: The Raiders they started three to zero. They had two 1032 00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,080 Speaker 3: ugly losses, but we now know in hindsight, those two 1033 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,439 Speaker 3: ugly losses came during the middle of all that John 1034 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 3: Gruden mess. Gruden leaves. They win two games since then, 1035 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 3: and I think it's been their best two wins of 1036 00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 3: the season. Now, they had a bye week to kind 1037 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,719 Speaker 3: of be like, okay, so that's all done, let's move on. 1038 00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,840 Speaker 3: And I just think it's disrespectful to make the Raiders 1039 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 3: under field goal favorite against the Giants, So I'm grabbing 1040 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 3: it while we're getting under field goal. I'll still like 1041 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,360 Speaker 3: it after that, but I definitely want to grab the line. First, 1042 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,160 Speaker 3: short favorites coming off of bye week are fifty one 1043 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,759 Speaker 3: and thirty two against the spread sixty one percent. Cover 1044 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 3: road favorites coming off of bye week are seventy one 1045 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:01,920 Speaker 3: and fifty against the spread fifty Combine them short road 1046 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 3: favorites and it goes to sixty eight percent. 1047 00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 4: So I like the Raiders a lot. I think this 1048 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:07,520 Speaker 4: line is a really underratings. I'm here. 1049 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,560 Speaker 2: I'm not mad at that. I'm not mad at it all. 1050 00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 2: For me, I'm actually gonna go with another road team. 1051 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the New England Patriots minus two 1052 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 2: and a half andgings to Carolina Panthers. That actually may 1053 00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:18,239 Speaker 2: be up to three in some places, but I think 1054 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,880 Speaker 2: you can find a cheap bod of minus two and 1055 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,799 Speaker 2: a half. This is a two and a half one 1056 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:25,280 Speaker 2: of the sportsbooks I see right now. This is mainly 1057 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,719 Speaker 2: a fade of PJ Walker, who could be starting at 1058 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 2: quarterback next week. I don't know if you guys recognized 1059 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:34,719 Speaker 2: PJ Walker, but he played in the XFL. That's where 1060 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,960 Speaker 2: he kind of built this claim to fame and got 1061 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,359 Speaker 2: back into the NFL two seasons ago. But look, Sam 1062 00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,359 Speaker 2: Donald isn't anything to write home about. And I've said 1063 00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,280 Speaker 2: this before. There's only so long fakes thugs can pretend 1064 00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,120 Speaker 2: with Sam Donald. And he came out hot, and he 1065 00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,279 Speaker 2: played the first three games of the season great, and 1066 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,400 Speaker 2: obviously he cooked the Atlanta Falcons today. 1067 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:57,240 Speaker 1: But he's not a great quarterback. 1068 00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:01,520 Speaker 2: He's thirtieth football outside of his DBOA, twenty fifth ESPNS QBR. 1069 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 2: He has seven touchdowns to eight interceptions, So anytime he's 1070 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:08,279 Speaker 2: not playing a piss poor defense, he's not good. 1071 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:08,799 Speaker 1: Now. 1072 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 2: PJ Walker is a significant downgrade and limited action. This 1073 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 2: year he has a negative dB away of ninety eight 1074 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,040 Speaker 2: point one, and last season he had just a completion 1075 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:23,200 Speaker 2: percentage of fifty seven percent with five interceptions and one touchdown. 1076 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:24,240 Speaker 1: So put it blunt. 1077 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,200 Speaker 2: PJ Walker is not good and he has to face 1078 00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,440 Speaker 2: a Bill Belichick led defense. Look, the Paranthers might as 1079 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,600 Speaker 2: well be playing with one arm top behind their back, 1080 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 2: and I have to lay that number at two and 1081 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,520 Speaker 2: a half three. I think this is really cheap with 1082 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,880 Speaker 2: a Patriots team is really playing well. Mac Jones is 1083 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 2: playing well, so I would. 1084 00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,480 Speaker 1: Bet this up to three. So take the Patriots. 1085 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:47,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's rough when Sam Donald has been absolutely miserable 1086 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,120 Speaker 3: for a month and he's out and we're like, oh no, 1087 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,239 Speaker 3: their quarterback situation gets worse. So we don't know if 1088 00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 3: Donald is out yet. But whichever quarterback it is, you 1089 00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,600 Speaker 3: got Donald or pg O Walker and you got Bill Belichick. 1090 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:01,920 Speaker 3: How many times do we need to keep seeing this 1091 00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,800 Speaker 3: sort of thing play out. It's not exactly a rookie, 1092 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,279 Speaker 3: but it's not that much better. 1093 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 4: So I agree with you. 1094 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,839 Speaker 3: I love the Patriots here, especially if you can get 1095 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:10,920 Speaker 3: that two and a half number. So I'm going to 1096 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 3: back you on another one. On Friday, on our look Ahead, 1097 00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,160 Speaker 3: you took the Texans. I wasn't quite ready to go 1098 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,800 Speaker 3: to ride with Houston. Yet they're in Miami giving a 1099 00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,799 Speaker 3: touchdown right now, full seven. I'm ready to take them. 1100 00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,239 Speaker 3: So here's the reason, and it's two words. One name, 1101 00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 3: Tarad Taylor. We think he should be back next week. 1102 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,719 Speaker 3: I thought he might be back this week. I thought 1103 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,720 Speaker 3: he might pay back last week when I bet Houston 1104 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,480 Speaker 3: plus a thousand against the Cardinals and then got crushed 1105 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,320 Speaker 3: when David Smills can't score. This is a play on 1106 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 3: Torod Taylor. They're just so much better with him. They've 1107 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,800 Speaker 3: scored almost a new point tell that garbage time today. 1108 00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:49,320 Speaker 3: They've scored more points with Torod Taylor in one and 1109 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,040 Speaker 3: a half games and with Davis Smills in six and 1110 00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:52,760 Speaker 3: a half games. 1111 00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 4: So Houston. 1112 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,280 Speaker 3: The soft spot on the team especially is the run defense. 1113 00:49:57,640 --> 00:49:59,480 Speaker 3: Mimi can't run the ball. They're near the bottom the 1114 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,720 Speaker 3: league in deep rushing. There's a trend here that's pretty 1115 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 3: massive too. If you get a team a week five 1116 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,400 Speaker 3: or later, so once we've really established and their average 1117 00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 3: margin per game is minus fourteen or worse. So that's 1118 00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 3: the tighter. That's the Texans here. They're obviously in rough 1119 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,160 Speaker 3: shape minus fifteen point three right now. Those teams are 1120 00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,440 Speaker 3: getting way underrated in the books. Those teams are ninety 1121 00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,680 Speaker 3: four and forty eight against the spread sixty six percent. 1122 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:27,279 Speaker 3: That's two out of three are covering there. So I 1123 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,719 Speaker 3: like Houston here. If Tarad Taylor plays, I think it 1124 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,719 Speaker 3: could be an upset special possibility. We'll see about that. 1125 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 3: I would make this line maybe closer to four or 1126 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,000 Speaker 3: something with Taylor in the lineup, So I think there's 1127 00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 3: maybe a field goal of value here, especially if Taylor 1128 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,239 Speaker 3: does get clear in the lineup, I do think the 1129 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:46,719 Speaker 3: line will move toward Houston. So you gave this one 1130 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 3: on Friday, I'm just doubling down. We're both on Houston 1131 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,160 Speaker 3: for the week. Let's go Texans. 1132 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know, I totally agree with you. 1133 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 2: Obviously. Look this is Miami defense. Last year they made 1134 00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 2: a living off turnovers. They they generated the most turnovers 1135 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:01,920 Speaker 2: and it just felt like every game you watch it, 1136 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,640 Speaker 2: you had the defense scoring. But that hasn't been the 1137 00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:09,120 Speaker 2: case this year. They're twenty third in success rate Defensively, 1138 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,880 Speaker 2: they're twenty eighth in EPA per play on defense. This 1139 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,440 Speaker 2: defense can't stop anybody. And I'm gonna be honest with you, 1140 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,920 Speaker 2: as much as I want Tyrod Taylor to play, I 1141 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,920 Speaker 2: think there might be some value with the seven even 1142 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:21,280 Speaker 2: if Davis Mills plays. 1143 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,200 Speaker 1: Because it's not like this Miami offense is that much better. 1144 00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 2: Their twenty six in offense of success rate twenty seven 1145 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:30,800 Speaker 2: for EPA play. So I think the Texans, they have 1146 00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,440 Speaker 2: a veteran team, they're gonna find some success no matter 1147 00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,240 Speaker 2: who's quarterbacking out there. Obviously I hope to see Tyrod Telller, 1148 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,319 Speaker 2: but I think you need to grab that number now 1149 00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 2: because if Tyrod plays, that number is gonna drop. So 1150 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,120 Speaker 2: grab that a set. For my second play, I'm actually 1151 00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 2: gonna go with the Cleveland Browns plus three playing Cincinnati 1152 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:50,880 Speaker 2: Bengals team that just gave a four hundred yards to 1153 00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:55,319 Speaker 2: Mike White and his first start and obviously the big 1154 00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:59,520 Speaker 2: letdown spot after coming off against Baltimore. But this Cleveland team, 1155 00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 2: they're playing for their season and they're slowly starting to 1156 00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 2: get healthy on all offitsive line the skilled players are 1157 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,920 Speaker 2: getting healthy, and I think this is an ideal spot 1158 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,000 Speaker 2: for Cleveland to go out there and possibly win this game. Outright, 1159 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,800 Speaker 2: the band Wills, they've been solid, but they still have 1160 00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,960 Speaker 2: a coach is Zach Teller, who isn't the best. I 1161 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,239 Speaker 2: think there's a coaching michmash between him and Stefanski. Vig 1162 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,560 Speaker 2: shout and yupit. He actually won an IVY League championship 1163 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:23,239 Speaker 2: while he was there, so you know, I'm a little 1164 00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,879 Speaker 2: bit the Browns. I think plus three it's a good number. 1165 00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,560 Speaker 2: And then honestly, I want to sprinkle a little something 1166 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:28,279 Speaker 2: on the money line. 1167 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,320 Speaker 4: Oh here we go an upset special. 1168 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:31,719 Speaker 3: I know you don't play a lot of these money 1169 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,360 Speaker 3: line dogs, but hey, we talked about that trend and 1170 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,279 Speaker 3: the brown spit the trend. Well, so that's a good 1171 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,759 Speaker 3: spot for them. And will say this, Kevin Stefanski has 1172 00:52:40,080 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 3: yet to ever cover a division game. He's all in 1173 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,200 Speaker 3: seven against the spread division game. So I can't ride 1174 00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:47,960 Speaker 3: with you yet. I might get there by the end 1175 00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:48,359 Speaker 3: of the week. 1176 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 1: He hasn't covered a single one, not even as a dog. 1177 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:52,279 Speaker 4: None of them. 1178 00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,040 Speaker 3: He's all in seven against the spread. So wow, it's 1179 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:58,120 Speaker 3: it's not a big sample, so we can't take too 1180 00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,279 Speaker 3: much of it. But like the goose egg in front 1181 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,040 Speaker 3: of the number there. So I'm not with you yet 1182 00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,279 Speaker 3: on the Browns. I might join you later. I just 1183 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:07,839 Speaker 3: need to research a little bit more. 1184 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,480 Speaker 1: But I actually, I mean that kind of makes sense 1185 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 1: because I mean, you got a who's in a division. Yeah, 1186 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:17,560 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is obviously dominant, so they have it. 1187 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:19,799 Speaker 2: I don't think they've even beaten Ravens, so, I mean 1188 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,720 Speaker 2: the Ravens beat them twice last year, Fellers had owned 1189 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,480 Speaker 2: them and then they probably were favorite, big favorites against 1190 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,239 Speaker 2: the Bengals. So I don't know how many spots you'll 1191 00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,520 Speaker 2: see where the Browns are I say, three point dollars 1192 00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:31,800 Speaker 2: against the Bengals. 1193 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:31,480 Speaker 1: So. 1194 00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:33,520 Speaker 4: That's true. 1195 00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I do like that the Browns are getting healthy, 1196 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,000 Speaker 3: you know that if it's been a mass for the 1197 00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:39,920 Speaker 3: first half of the year. 1198 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,640 Speaker 4: But it does seem like there this could be the spot, 1199 00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:44,759 Speaker 4: you know, this week. 1200 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 3: I like Pittsburgh. They're another team I loved on the 1201 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:49,879 Speaker 3: underdog and they came through. This was a spot where 1202 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,040 Speaker 3: I thought Pittsburgh could maybe try to save their season 1203 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:53,839 Speaker 3: and get back in the mix a little bit. 1204 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,080 Speaker 4: As they were getting healthy. 1205 00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,040 Speaker 3: There might be the Browns turn now, so I won't 1206 00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 3: be surprised if I join you here once I look 1207 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,480 Speaker 3: into a little bit more. It does seem like, especially 1208 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,480 Speaker 3: Division game three points on the road, we're seeing these 1209 00:54:06,600 --> 00:54:09,400 Speaker 3: road dogs, so I may get there. I'm already almost 1210 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,360 Speaker 3: there on this conversation right now. 1211 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,960 Speaker 2: So this will definitely be a part of one of 1212 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,480 Speaker 2: my teasers this week. I love teasing them through the 1213 00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:18,960 Speaker 2: key numbers of seven. I think this is a slam 1214 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 2: teaser spot for me right now. 1215 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,000 Speaker 3: That is going to wrap it up today at the 1216 00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:26,440 Speaker 3: Action Network podcast, Please rate, subscribe, and review Stuck in 1217 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,480 Speaker 3: Raybon Wednesday night, they'll be back with their NFL six 1218 00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,520 Speaker 3: pack betting and Raheem and Ara back Friday.
