I went four and 26 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 3: one here, but by the time the podcast released, I 27 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 3: think Washington was like plus four and a half everywhere. 28 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 3: So hopefully you got a better number than I did 29 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 3: on Washington because I lost my plus three and a 30 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 3: half and we had a sweat the Raiders under a 31 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 3: good week seventeen, but who cares. We're on to Week 32 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 3: eighteen and then the playoffs, which I can't wait for. 33 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 3: And let's just hope for minimum COVID interruptions with the playoffs. 34 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 2: All right, we'll jump straight into the Weekend six Pack 35 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 2: for Week eighteen by the Athletic Brewing Company before we 36 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: do a couple quick notes.

Let's crack open the Sunday six pack, all. 52 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: Right, stuck with your near sweep, you still overtook me, 53 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 2: so you're up fifty one to forty nine. Again. We 54 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: switched the scoring up towards the end of the year, 55 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: so each pick of the six pack is worth the point. 56 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: Total is worth the point. We'll get to that in 57 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 2: our next segment, and then the segment after that we 58 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: do our favorite teaser that's also worth a point, so 59 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 2: still five points total a bonus. If you get to 60 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: sweep fifty one to forty nine, you're up. I'm up 61 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: first in Week eighteen, and I am going with the 62 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers plus four and a half 63 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 2: at bet MGM against the Los Angeles Rams. And this 64 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: is Niners Rams Week. It's just kind of been a staple. 65 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 2: If you're better these last couple of years. When the 66 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 2: Niners play the Rams, you gotta take them. I mean, 67 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: Shanahan versus McVeigh all time six and three against the spread, 68 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 2: covering by an average of four point eight points per game. 69 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 2: San Francisco has won each of the last five meeting 70 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 2: straight up against the Rams. The first meeting this year, 71 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: it was in San Francisco. Obviously not a big travel 72 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: concern between these two interstate rivals, but San Francisco won 73 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 2: it thirty one to ten. They outgained LA three thirty 74 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: five to two, seventy eight fifty seven yard differential. They 75 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: scored on four of a drives excluding Neil downs. Well, 76 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 2: the Rams scored are just two of ten drive and 77 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 2: San Francisco won despite nine penalties to the Rams five, 78 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: and despite Cooper Cup going eleven for one to twenty two. 79 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: And by the way, Cooper Cup, you want a bonus 80 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 2: bet Cooper Cup needs I believe it's one hundred and 81 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 2: thirty six yards to break the record. Yeah, Cooper Cup 82 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 2: over whatever is receiving yards line is this week. But 83 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be key here that the Niners 84 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: can kind of devise these game plans to slow down 85 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: the Rams and Stafford because we know kup is gonna 86 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: get his I saw that, Andbrey Thomas and Diamador Leonora 87 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: got placed on the COVID list today. So the Niners, 88 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: I think you're gonna get penalties out of them. But 89 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: I expect it to be a well skiing game. I 90 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: expect both teams play hard, and I expect it to 91 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 2: be a close one. And also I've kind of been 92 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: noticing Matthew Stafford. Defenses are starting to catch on to 93 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: him a little bit in this Rams offense. The first 94 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 2: eight game, Stafford had a sixty nine percent completion rate, 95 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: nine point one yards per attempt, a passer rating of 96 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 2: one to eighteen, a touchdown interception ratio of twenty two 97 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 2: to four. And then his last eight game, so the 98 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: second half can kind of divide the season into two 99 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: here and now we got that seventeenth game, so he's 100 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 2: played sixteen his last dight, completion PERCENTERG drops from sixty 101 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 2: nine to sixty six, yards per attempt, drops from nine 102 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 2: point one to seven point three, the rating drops from 103 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,599 Speaker 2: one eighteen to ninety to twenty eight point drop sixteen 104 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: touchdowns and eleven picks compared to that twenty two to 105 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 2: four ratio and one of the things that's been happening. 106 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 2: And I kind of wonder if it's that absence of 107 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: Robert Woods a little stuck because I know Odell Beckham 108 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 2: talent wise, might be even more talented than Woods. But 109 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 2: I've noticed that over those first eight games, staff It's 110 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 2: time to throw was two point five seconds, just over 111 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: two point five seconds. His last day, it's up to 112 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 2: nearly two point eight seconds. That's a big difference when 113 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: you're talking about you know, milliseconds guys getting to the quarterback, 114 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 2: you know, messing up to throw receivers, you know, being 115 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: able to get open or not getting open as fast. 116 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 2: So I don't know if it's all on Stafford. I 117 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: don't know if it's the you know, kind of the 118 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 2: mind meldy how it woulds you know, kind of taking 119 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 2: some pressure off Cup or what. Beckham has been productive, 120 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: but it just hasn't quite been the same offense for 121 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: the Rams. I think San Francisco can hang in this 122 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 2: game with their offense. I expect there'll still be some 123 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: sloppiness on defense. You know why I like this number here. 124 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 2: I think the ram most likely outcome is probably still 125 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: Rams winning by a field goal. I think the Niners 126 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 2: have a good chance of winning this game out right, 127 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 2: but love getting this at four and a half. Anything 128 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 2: above three I think is a plus ev play here. 129 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: So like the forty nine Ers plus four and a 130 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 2: half in La. 131 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree. I think this line is way 132 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 3: too well. I came out six. I got some six 133 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 3: when it opened, and I was shut uped. 134 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 2: I was so jealous because I like, by the time 135 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 2: I loooked, it was already like four or four and 136 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 2: a half. I think I got a four and a half. 137 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: But yeah, I was jealous that I sick. 138 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just like, it's just really sick. Because 139 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 3: one thing you get to keep in mind, this is 140 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 3: a road game for San Francisco, and we talked about 141 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 3: this a couple weeks ago, but it's gonna feel like 142 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 3: a home game for San Franz. There's going to be 143 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 3: more forty nine Ers fans there. We've talked about this 144 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: game before. I remember when Sala was a defensive coordinator 145 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 3: and I kept thinking the game was in San Francisco 146 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 3: where they dominated the Rams. I was like, what, wait, 147 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 3: I keep forgetting because the whole crowd was red and 148 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: Jeffers is gonna need to win to get in. You know, 149 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: there's obviously a lot more forty nine Ers fans out there. 150 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: I expect maybe eighty percent of this crowd to be 151 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 3: forty nine Ers fans. And by the way, forty nine 152 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 3: Ers need to win to get in or they need 153 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 3: the Saints to lose. Those are their their two pass 154 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 3: If they lose. In the Saints win, the forty nine 155 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 3: Ers are shockingly out of the playoffs. Jimmy g might 156 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 3: go Lance. I thought looked a lot more comfortable in 157 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 3: the second half, which I think is a good thing 158 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 3: leading up to this week, Like he got a full 159 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 3: game under his belt last week. I think that'll really help. 160 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 3: Just a good matchup for the forty nine ers as well. 161 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: This is you know, these this is the team that there. 162 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: You know, teams like the Rams and the Packers. They 163 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 3: don't want to see these, you know, run first offenses. 164 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 3: He can like the how with Ramsey's importance becomes it's 165 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 3: just not as important when they you know, if you're 166 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,959 Speaker 3: facing like a Bucks team, right, So I love the 167 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: match up here. Some of the guys in the secondary 168 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 3: and the COVID issues for San Francisco are a bit concerning, 169 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 3: but a lot of them were Tuesday, so with the 170 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 3: new rules, you could play Sunday. And this is for 171 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 3: the playoffs, so I would assume that a lot of 172 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 3: them get cleared. And you know it's at this point 173 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 3: if you go on Tuesday, just you need your doctors 174 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 3: cleared and then not showing symptoms, so you gotta be 175 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,599 Speaker 3: really feeling sick. I feel like to not play in 176 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 3: this game. So I think that's a good thing here. 177 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 3: Taking the dog in this division, especially over a field goal, 178 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: never a bad idea. I think they're seventy percent against 179 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 3: the spread this year. I make this under a field goal, 180 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 3: so I completely agree here. I think San Francisco is 181 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 3: a really good shot to win this game, and Stafford's 182 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 3: just out right I think that it. Yeah, it might 183 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 3: be the loss of woods. By the way Stafford against 184 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 3: winning teams didn't happen again last week too. It's just 185 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 3: he just fails to cover. But since Week nine, an 186 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:36,719 Speaker 3: EPA plus completion percentage over expectation composite among thirty nine 187 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: quarterbacks with at least one hundred plays, Stafford ranks twenty 188 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 3: third in EPA plus completion percentage over expectation deposite. You 189 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 3: know Renks twenty fourth basically just right behind him Jared Goff. 190 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 3: So yeah, Stafford has not been good. He's been a 191 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 3: turnover machine. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's 192 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 3: not great. You have the Rams coming back across country 193 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 3: after an East Coast game and you have to prepare 194 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 3: for basically two quarterbacks, right like, So I think that 195 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 3: helps the forty nine ers as well, like are they 196 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 3: going to play both? They might, but you got to prepare. Okay, 197 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 3: it's Jimmy g was limited today. You got to prepare 198 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 3: for some lance packages which will look a little different. 199 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 3: So I think that works in the forty nine ers 200 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 3: favors as well. And this is just the circle of 201 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 3: life in the NFC West. The forty nine ers just 202 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: beat the ReBs, So I completely agree here. One question 203 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 3: before I go to I was gonna say, a lot 204 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: of these. You have a lot of these in the 205 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 3: prop market, so I'm not a prop player unless it's 206 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 3: you know, the Super Bowl these So you have a 207 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 3: couple of things, records and incentives. Does the market generally 208 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,719 Speaker 3: price them in? Is their value there? Does it get 209 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 3: over priced? Do you have any insight there? 210 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 2: First of all, it's it's not easy to get get 211 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,599 Speaker 2: catch wind of all the incentives you kind of have 212 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: to do, you know, even somebody like me who's a 213 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 2: little more dialed in, it's still you still have to 214 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 2: do a lot of research and go to different places 215 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 2: to kind of find these incentives. But generally, I mean, 216 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 2: the market is not spending a ton of time pricing props, 217 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: so it's still not as sharp as it could be. Now, 218 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: what will happen is in situations where you know, people 219 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 2: like us are aware, we will bet them up and 220 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 2: the mark so the market will adjust. But it's not 221 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 2: like if I would be surprised if the market still 222 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: doesn't come out with KUP at at one hundred and 223 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 2: thirty five and a half, I think it would still 224 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: come out below that, because that's just a monster number, right, 225 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 2: you know. So I think what will happen is it 226 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: will come out but still a little high than usual, 227 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 2: higher than usual, but they'll still rely on kind of 228 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 2: people to bet it up and kind of adjust. And 229 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: remember they're not posting a lot of these props until 230 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 2: later in the week anyway. This is where it really 231 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: makes sense to kind of shop around at different books 232 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 2: and have different accounts because then you can start to 233 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 2: get a lot more down. 234 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, because the limits aren't as high, the market isn't 235 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 3: as efficient. I always tell people, if youel like starting 236 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 3: out to build a bankroll, you know, follow you curner 237 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 3: like on props because that's you know, that's how you 238 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 3: can build your bankroll early. And you know eventually you 239 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 3: might get limited to betting. But when you're first starting out, man, 240 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 3: get get those props out there. And we have such 241 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 3: good prop content. 242 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 2: I could go, I'm in la, I could go to 243 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 2: this game and just fuck with Stafford in this game. 244 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,599 Speaker 2: But to your point, he is. I just looked it 245 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 2: up in our actual ABS data. Thirty two fifty two 246 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 2: and two against the spread against teams with winning records 247 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 2: coming into the game. That's thirty eight percent failing to 248 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 2: cover by nearly four points per contest. So you would 249 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 2: have a twenty one and a half percent ROI if 250 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 2: you bet against Stafford anytime he was playing a winning team, 251 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 2: anytime of the year. It could be Week two against 252 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 2: a one and oh team, it could be Week seventeen 253 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 2: against the winning team. It doesn't matter. It's been a struggle. 254 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's that's just the kind of bonus that 255 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 2: you're getting here. You're taking the Niners. 256 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, without Woods. One of the things I look 257 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 3: for with the when the Rams. One of the reasons 258 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 3: I like the Ravens last week was the Ravens run 259 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 3: defense has been really good. And the Rams, you know, 260 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 3: you think of them, it's like Stafford and these receivers, 261 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 3: but their receiving core isn't like elite and everything is 262 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 3: built off of the run in mcveigh's offense. So if 263 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 3: you don't have to dedicate too many resources to the 264 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 3: run and you can stop it, then you're putting them 265 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 3: in passing situations and they're a lot easier to defend. 266 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 3: And the forty nine ers run defense has been really strong. 267 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 3: They might get some reinforcements on that front as well 268 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 3: this week. So yeah, I agree here I make this 269 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 3: under a field goal and I love the matchup. All right. 270 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 3: For my first pick of the second overall of the 271 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 3: week eighteen Weekend six pack, I am going let's get ugly. 272 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 3: I'm going with the Jacksonville Jaguars plus fifteen and a 273 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 3: half at vet MGM. Now, if you know me and 274 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 3: you've listened to this podcast in the past couple of years, 275 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 3: you know, in the final week of the season, almost 276 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 3: always betting a couple of teams that are eliminated, that 277 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,599 Speaker 3: are playing teams that need to win, and you have 278 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 3: that here. The Colts need to win to get in. Now, 279 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 3: if they lose, they can still get in, but it 280 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 3: gets really iffy. So this is a must win game 281 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 3: for them. By the way, they haven't won in Jacksonville 282 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 3: in like seven years, I think, and this the cults are. 283 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: I've played the Jags last year, so I day six 284 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 3: pack plus fifteen at home against the Colts who needed 285 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 3: to win. Mike Glennon started for the Jags, and the 286 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 3: Jags covered. They lost by fourteen, but they were down six. 287 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 3: They were down six with the ball late four minutes ago, 288 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 3: and then they punted and then the Colts he broke 289 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 3: a run in the final minutes and then went for 290 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 3: two and one by fourteen. But if you look back, 291 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 3: you know, so what happens in this week Week eighteen 292 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 3: is it's you know, there's there's an inflation and attacks 293 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 3: on these must win teams and they're just inflated. Who 294 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 3: wants to back the Jags? So you know, the Colts 295 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 3: have to win, right, And I think that the lines 296 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 3: get super infla sometimes and I think that's the case here. 297 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 3: I don't think there should be two touchdowns. You have 298 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 3: to learn a couple points over if you look back 299 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 3: historically since two thousand and three, per Action Labs, teams 300 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 3: that are eliminated to the final week playing a team 301 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: that must win, but it's not playing for seeding, so 302 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 3: either must win or you know, if they lost, they 303 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 3: would need help, so they're a must win spot. Those 304 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 3: teams that must win are sixteen and twenty six against 305 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 3: the spread thirty eight percent. And if you focus solely 306 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 3: on favorites of more than a field goal, those have 307 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 3: gone ten to twenty two against the spread. That's thirty 308 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 3: one point two percent. If you don't love that sample size, 309 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 3: to go back to nineteen eighty final two weeks, teams 310 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 3: in this spot must win versus teams playing for nothing 311 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 3: sixty percent against the spread or forty percent for the 312 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 3: teams that must win, sixty percent for the teams that 313 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 3: are eliminated. This is the NFL. And like, the one 314 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 3: thing I will mention is that there's there's this added 315 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 3: complexity of like the tank now and we'll get to 316 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 3: that on certain teams like the Eagles last year. I 317 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 3: think the Browns might be taking we'll talk about that. 318 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 3: I don't see it with the Jags as like an 319 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 3: interim coach. You have your quarterback, you're either getting the 320 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 3: first or second pick. You're already finishing in last place. 321 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 3: You can ruin the cold season. So don't think this 322 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 3: is a tank spot. It's still the NFL. These guys 323 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 3: are playing for contracts, the coaches are playing for positions 324 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 3: like Darrel Bubba wants to be the head coach of 325 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 3: the Jags. Everyone's still gonna try. And then what happens 326 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 3: is it's the last game. It's your super Bowl. Right, 327 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 3: Oh wait, now we have something to play for. You know, 328 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 3: you finally can be like, all right, after your disappointing season, 329 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 3: we can ruin the cold season and kind of make 330 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 3: something of this. You also can come out and play 331 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 3: a lot looser, whereas the team that needs to win 332 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 3: is oh, they're a little A lot of times they're tight, 333 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 3: and we can't make a mistake. That works in your 334 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 3: favor as well. So I love teams in this spot. 335 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 3: You also have the Jaguars coming off of an absolute 336 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 3: embarrassing loss against the Patriots. Teams in that spot when 337 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 3: they haven't covered by you know that many points or 338 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 3: more have been phenomenal against the spread historically, and last 339 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 3: week the Jaguars were just completely estimated on both sides 340 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 3: of the ball by COVID. Should have a lot of 341 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 3: those guys back. You also have Carson Wentz, who still 342 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 3: has some looming turnover regression, and for as bad as 343 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 3: Lawrence has been, he's been pretty unlucky in that regard, 344 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 3: So don't be surprised if maybe a couple of deflections 345 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 3: go the Jaguars way. But ultimately it's just the price. 346 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,240 Speaker 3: I think the line is too high. You're getting must 347 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 3: win inflation. I'll take over two touchdowns with the home 348 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,160 Speaker 3: division dog here, give me the lowly Jags. 349 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd probably join you with this. I think the 350 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 2: line's only going to go up too. I don't know 351 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 2: if it's even going down, so I'm holding out. But 352 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 2: every time the coach played the Jags, I kind of 353 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 2: circle it too, because it just always seems to be 354 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 2: problematic And just like another team we'll talk about in 355 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 2: a second, in a division matchup in the same division. 356 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 2: But look at that last game like forget, forget all 357 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 2: the things at stake are not at stake. And just 358 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 2: look at the last time these two teams played. The 359 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 2: last time these two teams played, Indy was at home 360 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 2: won the game twenty three to seventeen. So it was 361 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 2: a it was a struggle. You look at the underlying stats. 362 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 2: The Jaguars out gained Indy three thirty one to two 363 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 2: ninety five. They just happened to turn the ball over 364 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 2: that you know once and he didn't turn it over. 365 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,479 Speaker 2: And the Jaguars actually did better than third down than 366 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: the coach five or fifteen. The coach were four or fifteen. 367 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 2: So I mean, it's not like the Coats exact. And 368 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 2: this is what Urban Meyer as the head coach of 369 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 2: the Jags. It's not exactly like the you know, the 370 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,479 Speaker 2: Coats have this like just great matchup here where they 371 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 2: just are gonna run away with it. I think it's 372 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 2: a tough matchup for them either way. I think the Jags, 373 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 2: you know, they've shown it can hang in there against 374 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 2: somebody these tougher teams, you know, the Patriots, Belichick, you 375 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 2: knew that wasn't gonna go well, that you could kind 376 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: of the writing was all over the wall for that. 377 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 2: I don't think Belichick's ever lost to a rookie quarterback 378 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 2: in Foxborough. So so yeah, I completely agree with this 379 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 2: one as well. Probably will be joining you, But I mean, 380 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: do you think this gets to like seventeen or something 381 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 2: like that. 382 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 3: Sixteen and a half. I don't think it'll ever get 383 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 3: to a flat seventeen, but it's in a dead range 384 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 3: right now, so if you're out there, you might as 385 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 3: well late. 386 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 2: For my second pick and the third overall of the 387 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: week eighteen weekend six pack, I'm going with the Houston 388 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 2: Texans plus ten and a half against the Tennessee Titans. 389 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: This is a game I think that kind of fits 390 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 2: into that same motivated versus unmotivated. It's not quite you know, 391 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 2: the Titans don't need to winner to be eliminated or 392 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 2: anything like that, but clearly obviously have more motivation here 393 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 2: than the Houston Texans. But remember last time these two 394 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 2: teams met, the Titans, granted they were banged up, as 395 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 2: they've been all year, but Tennessee was favored by ten 396 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 2: at home. They closed its ten point favorites. They lost 397 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 2: the game by nine. This is at home to the 398 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 2: Texans now, they're favor by ten on the road. Like, 399 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: I don't get how we swing that many points. I know, 400 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 2: Aj and I mean being healthy. I don't know if 401 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 2: that changes anything because the guy, even when he's healthy, 402 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 2: he plays like half the game. So it's I mean, 403 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 2: that's not a big deal. AJ Brown's gonna get his Like, 404 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 2: they're not gonna sugarcoat that. But still a Titans offense 405 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: without Derrick Henry, still a Titans offense is going to 406 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,719 Speaker 2: struggle to move the ball. I think they're gonna struggle 407 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: in the red zone against this Houston zone defense. They've 408 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 2: been getting lucky. They have eleven wins on a year, 409 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 2: but their point differentials suggest they're more of a nine 410 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: and a half win team. So they're about to winning 411 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 2: a half over expectation in terms of overachieving. And again, 412 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 2: this is a you know, this is a tough match 413 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 2: for Tennessee. I just you know, last game of the season, 414 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 2: Tennessee here, you gotta not play sloppy, and they did 415 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 2: that last week. They played a sharp game against Miami, 416 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 2: but we just saw a ton of turnovers last time 417 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 2: these two teams played. I just think that Houston is 418 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 2: gonna kind of it's always been a struggle when these 419 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 2: two teams play. I mean, so you had Houston eating 420 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 2: them twenty two thirteen uh as ten point dogs. The 421 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 2: then last season you had a Titans favor by seven 422 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 2: last game in the season against a similarly horrible Houston. 423 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,719 Speaker 3: Team, must win. I was on the Texans there, must win, 424 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 3: must win, came back and cut the field goal to 425 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 3: win at the Yeah, they could have lost. 426 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: The Times could easily lost. The game went thirty. 427 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 3: I think Sam Sliman, I think was the kicker of 428 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 3: that game. 429 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was just a struggle game before that. 430 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 2: Earlier in the year. You might have also been on 431 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 2: the uh on the Texans. 432 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 3: But plus plus four plus four overtime game and overtime six. Yeah, 433 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 3: like this has been happening for two years. This overtime, 434 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 3: this over time. 435 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is just kind of I mean, yeah, but no, 436 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: this matchup has also been happening for years, where it's 437 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 2: just even as bad as the Texans are to usually 438 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 2: kind of that one of the worst teams in division. 439 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 2: Of these last couple of matchups, Titans just struggled to 440 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:56,640 Speaker 2: put them away. 441 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 3: So well that's their mo though. They just play up 442 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 3: and down the team. They played down to their competition. 443 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 3: You know, it's a team that went, you know, to 444 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 3: the Jets and lost, and then you know, you go 445 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 3: out to the Rams, and I mean you look at 446 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 3: all their results. They just got to play close games 447 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 3: against everybody. 448 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 2: Exactly especial you know. So you you were on them 449 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 2: against Miami last week. That was a great call. But 450 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 2: that's the whole point, you know. I think that game 451 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 2: now they feeling good about themselves. This is it's just 452 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 2: right for a Titans wet down and then for these situations. 453 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 2: Wait in the year you have a Houston team that 454 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 2: was held only seven last week against the Niners. Wait 455 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 2: in a year, you have an underdog that scored in 456 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 2: the single digits in their last game facing a favorite. 457 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 2: As long as that favorite isn't completely terrible, they have 458 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 2: a winning percentage of thirty five or better. The underdog 459 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,680 Speaker 2: in this spot is two nineteen one thirty five and 460 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 2: eight sixty two twenty percent ROI since two thousand and three. 461 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 2: According to our Action Labs data, Houston fits the trend 462 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 2: here too many points at home. I think it's gonna 463 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 2: be another one of these tough games for Tennessee to 464 00:22:58,760 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 2: close out. 465 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree. I'm on this as well. Plus 466 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 3: ten and a half would have been one of my 467 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 3: picks if you didn't take it. Davis Mills is playing 468 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 3: better in the second half of the year as well. 469 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,479 Speaker 3: I like some of the things that I've seen with him. 470 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 3: He also appears more comfortable at home. And this team 471 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 3: is still playing hard and now can be kind of 472 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 3: their Super Bowl, right And this is a team the 473 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 3: beat that blew out the Chargers with a COVID decimated 474 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 3: roster at home a couple of weeks ago, and Titans 475 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 3: play up and down. Everyone go look at Rabel's record 476 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 3: as an underdog. He's great, He's not so great as 477 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 3: a favorite. That speaks to what this Titans team does. 478 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 3: So yeah, home divisional dog catching double digits here. I 479 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 3: wouldn't be surprised if the Texans have a shot to 480 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 3: win this game and the AFC one seed is up 481 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 3: for grabs in the fourth quarter. Should be interesting. So 482 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 3: I completely agree there. All right. For my second pick 483 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 3: and the fourth overall the week eighteen weekend six pack, 484 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 3: I am going with the Atlanta Falcons plus four and 485 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 3: a half at BETAMGM against the New Orleans Saints. New 486 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 3: Orleans needs to win and have San Francisco lose to 487 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 3: get in. I'm just not buying this line. Again, this 488 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 3: fits the mold. This is the other game I think 489 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 3: that the Titans are. You know, they're not exactly in 490 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 3: that mold, similar to the Bills last year. By the way, 491 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 3: the Bills could have been playing for seating. It speaks 492 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 3: to this the wackedness of this final week. They decided 493 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 3: to rest a bunch of starters playing the Dolphins, who 494 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 3: needed to win to get in. 495 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 2: Remember that. 496 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 3: So this doesn't even clarify my numbers because the Bills 497 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 3: could have been prove their seating but they just didn't care. 498 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 3: But the Bills won fifty six to twenty six. Anyway, 499 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,719 Speaker 3: like isaamh McKenzie was there, we were throwing Isaah McKenzie. 500 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 3: They sat all their secondary guys and they still won 501 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 3: fifty six to twenty six. So yeah, I think the 502 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 3: numbers too high. Early in the season, the Saints were 503 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 3: minus six, minus six and a half at home and 504 00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 3: they lost outright to the Falcons. So now you're getting 505 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 3: four and a half in Atlanta. And by the way, 506 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 3: after another a big home week against the spread last year, 507 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 3: running some things and it look home field advantage is 508 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 3: right around. You know, people were like, oh it's worth 509 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 3: it's zero and zero for this year. You get small 510 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 3: sample size for one season, but it's around one and 511 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 3: a half points a little higher for you know, a 512 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 3: team like New Orleans. But now you're getting four and 513 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 3: a half and that's a big number for the Saints 514 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 3: to cover. I make this under a field goal, by 515 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 3: the way, which is why I played it. That's a 516 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 3: big number to cover and total it's forty with a 517 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 3: New Orleans offense that is just horrendous. I mean by 518 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 3: any stretch of the imagination. I mean, let's take a look. 519 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 3: They're thirty first and success rate an offense since Week eight. 520 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 3: Their rush offense for the year is twenty eighth at 521 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 3: EPA per play and success rate. You can't throw it right, 522 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 3: so you don't have to. You can just kind of 523 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 3: load the box and you don't have to respect who 524 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 3: they're throwing it to on the outside. I also think 525 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 3: I like this matchup for the Falcons because now it 526 00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 3: is you want to keep an eye on Kyle Pitts, 527 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 3: which would a big Losses is already missing Calvinry that 528 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 3: he didn't practice with the hamstring injury. 529 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 2: It didn't Actually I saw him. I saw him pull 530 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 2: it live. Uh and they did. So here's here's something like, 531 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 2: I'm if you if you just want to intel, they 532 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 2: signed Parker Hesse, who's their force tight end, to the 533 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 2: active roster for this week. So that's also a bad 534 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 2: sign to just yeah, I saw that on the transactional wire. 535 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 2: So hopefully I do. 536 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 3: Think that if he has a chance to go, he 537 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 3: will because he needs fifty eight yards to break the 538 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 3: all time rookie Mike Dicka holds the record for all 539 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 3: time receiving yards by a tight end of the rookie season. 540 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 3: But regardless, yeah, propeler if he plays. But regardless, this 541 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 3: is a Saints offense that is just dreadful. And if 542 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 3: you go by some metrics like they're point differential, they've 543 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 3: been the luckiest team in the NFL. The Falcons. What 544 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 3: they've done this year is they really compeat and or 545 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 3: compete with teams that are, you know, similar to them, 546 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 3: and they just get blown out by these superior teams. 547 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 3: That's not New Orleans right now. With Taysom Hill, in 548 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 3: my opinion, Hill, for it's worth, has been one of 549 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 3: the worst quarterbacks in the NFL. Let's let's take a 550 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 3: look since Week eight. Here's a list of quarterbacks that 551 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 3: rank lower than Taysom Hill an EPA plus completion percentage 552 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 3: over expectation composite. There's thirty six quarterbacks with at least 553 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty plays since we gate. There's only 554 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 3: three that have been worse than Taysom Hill, Cam Newton, 555 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 3: Mike Glennon and Zach Wilson. That's it. 556 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 2: In The Saints have beat two of those three in 557 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks. YEP, I mean so techically, 558 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 2: not Cam Newton because it was it was Scam Darnold. 559 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 3: But yeah, yeah, and he's not much higher anyway, So 560 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 3: I'll take the you know, boat teams should get some 561 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 3: key pieces back from you know, COVID and injury, and 562 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 3: I just think that this line is too high. Falcons 563 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 3: can play the role spoiler all the pressures on the 564 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 3: Saints dreadful offense, and Matt Ryan has actually had some success. Again, 565 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 3: it's this Saints defense, particularly since Dennis Allen has arrived. 566 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 3: Since twenty fifteen when Allen got their defensive coordinator, Brian 567 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 3: has twenty six touchdowns eleven interceptions. You know, thirty eight 568 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 3: hundred passing yards and thirteen games, that comes out to 569 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 3: a per game average of two touchdowns, zero point eight picks, 570 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 3: three hundred yards passing. That's pretty much right around where 571 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 3: he is on a per game basis on all other games. 572 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 3: That's the Saints defense is better than an average defense 573 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 3: over that stretch. So you know, one of the things 574 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 3: that I liked about this matchup is one of the 575 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,679 Speaker 3: best the strongest parts of the Saints team is their 576 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 3: run defense. It's elite, like, you can't really run on 577 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 3: them at all. So when they can take that away 578 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 3: from a team that relies on that for play action 579 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 3: or just you know, getting yards on the ground, that's 580 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 3: an advantage that doesn't matter against the Falcons. The Falcons 581 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 3: are the worst rushing team in the NFL. They can't 582 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 3: get anything on the ground. They take away their run 583 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 3: game on their un taking away the Falcons run game 584 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 3: does nothing for them. So ultimately, I just think this 585 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 3: is too many points for this Saints offense on the road. 586 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,160 Speaker 3: I think that they should be under a field goal. 587 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 3: So I will gladly take the four and a half 588 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 3: points at home with the Falcons in a game I 589 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 3: think they'll have a really good shot to win straight up. 590 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. I don't get this line. I mean, 591 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 2: this is one of those inflated because the Saints are 592 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 2: need to win the game like this is that's all 593 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 2: it can be. Because just look at the Saints and 594 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 2: what they've been doing over these last few weeks. They 595 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 2: first they went on a five game losing streak, you 596 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 2: know when, and yeah it takes some pill missed some 597 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 2: games and they were starting simming and whatnot. But then 598 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 2: they beat the Jets thirty to nine. Okay, like that's whatever. 599 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 2: Beat the Bucks nine to nothing. You scored nine points, 600 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 2: Like you scored nine points in that game the Bucks. 601 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 2: Everyone got hurt for the Bucks. So you won a 602 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 2: game scoring nine points. He scored three against the Dolphins. 603 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 2: Then you beat the Panthers eighteen to ten, so you 604 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 2: won a game scoring eighteen points. Like the Falcons. They 605 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: played poorly, Like you said, against these elite teams, you 606 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 2: know they're not gonna score. But against these like mediocre teams, 607 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 2: they can get to eighteen, nineteen, twenty points. That's probably 608 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 2: gonna be enough to beat the Saints team. So especially 609 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 2: at home, it's the playoff game for them, you know. Yeah, 610 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 2: we were both on them at plus six earlier in 611 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 2: the year and they just looked dreadful. 612 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 3: They were up twenty one to nothing in that game 613 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 3: through three quarters. I had to hold on to win. 614 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 3: But yeah, I think this line's went too high. 615 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 2: All right. For my third pick in the fifth overall 616 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 2: the week eighteen Weekend six pack, I'm going with the 617 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers plus five and a half in Baltimore. I'm 618 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 2: gonna do this one more time with the Steelers. It's 619 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 2: gonna be it's not good. 620 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 3: So it's not making the playoffs. He might be doing 621 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 3: it again as a dog next week. 622 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Oh man, Yeah, listen, man, I know, 623 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 2: and I'm you know, always curious to hear your thoughts 624 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,239 Speaker 2: on the Ravens. This is not about Pittsburgh as much 625 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 2: as it's about the Ravens. You know, I just don't 626 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 2: know where they're at now. They've lost five in a row, 627 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 2: a lot of close games games, but remember these. 628 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 3: Teams are play four of those five by a combined 629 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 3: five points. 630 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's not I'm not saying they. 631 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 3: Had that they had that close game aggression coming. That's 632 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 3: why I was fading. I mean early in the year 633 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 3: they were winning all these close games and they caught 634 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 3: up to them because they weren't as good as people 635 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 3: thought were early in the year when I was like, dude, 636 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 3: this team is not that good because of while their injuries. 637 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 3: They're eight and three, yes, but and now here they 638 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 3: already eight and eight. 639 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 2: This is about Baltimore to mean, can they win this 640 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 2: game and give themselves a chance? I know they what 641 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 2: they have like a two percent chances to go to 642 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 2: the playoffs. I guess a little higher. 643 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 3: If they win, we need the Jags. We need the 644 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 3: Jags to win, We need the Dolphins to lose. Yeah, 645 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 3: then we need the Chargers to lose. The problem is, 646 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 3: if all of those things happen, I'm pretty sure the 647 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 3: Raiders clinch, so they won't be playing for any like 648 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 3: it's it's it's bad Ken. 649 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 2: Baltimore still win this game, absolutely, but now you're talking 650 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 2: about winning it by six or more. I think they 651 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 2: can win close game because they're gonna play in a 652 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 2: lot of close games. Every time they play, it's a 653 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 2: close game. They're like from last year, yeah, yeah, it 654 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 2: was a Chargers right. It's like every game is a 655 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 2: close game these days, Are you gonna win by six 656 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 2: just because they're I don't think. I don't know. I 657 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 2: don't know if they win the game. I don't know 658 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,239 Speaker 2: if they win it by six. Last time these two 659 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: teams played, granted it wasn't Pittsburgh, but the total yardage 660 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 2: was pretty even. Baltimore three twenty six Pittsburgh three twenty one. However, 661 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh five point six yards per play, Baltimore four point 662 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 2: seven yards per play. And that was with Lamar Jackson. 663 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 2: So now Lamar didn't practice Wednesday. As we record this, 664 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 2: you thought he would might suit up last week. He didn't. 665 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 2: You know, you would think for this kind of game 666 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 2: he would. But I don't know if that's even a positive. 667 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: I mean, it's clear, you know, hunh, we had some 668 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 2: regression company wasn't gonna keep putting up, you know, like 669 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 2: four total touchdowns and things like that. Lamar hadn't even done. 670 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 2: But I just think the Ravens are in a tough 671 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: spot here, regardless of who plays quarterback. I think you're 672 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 2: still gonna get a game out of the Steelers. Ded 673 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 2: It's gonna be ugly on offense, but it's been ugly 674 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 2: on offense all year for the Steelers team. Uh, and 675 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 2: they've continued to to kind of exceed expectations just slightly. 676 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 2: So Pittsburgh in these spots this year, they're six and 677 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,560 Speaker 2: four as an underdog. They're not the same as they 678 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 2: used to be. We saw that in this I mean 679 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 2: that game against Cleveland that was a tough watch. I 680 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 2: think the two teams combineding for like under four yards 681 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 2: of past attempt But that speaks to what the Steelers 682 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 2: defense can do. They can just hang in the game. 683 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 2: They played a real strong game against the Ravens last time. 684 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 2: You know, even with the Ravens getting a lead early, 685 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 2: it just they just couldn't get nothing going down a stretch. 686 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 2: Everything was just a little more difficult than it seemed 687 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 2: like it was earlier in the year, going down to 688 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 2: that two point conversion at the end of the game. 689 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 2: So and then, you know, I know a stat that 690 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 2: you've talked about, a stat that I got Brandon Anderson 691 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 2: I believe posted in the app as well. Since five, 692 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 2: when either of these teams in this rivalry is favored 693 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 2: by more than a field goal, the underdog is seventeen 694 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 2: and two against the spread. You know that kind of defines. 695 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 2: This matchup got Mike Tomlin as a dog from week 696 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 2: three on forty eighteen and two sixty nine percent against 697 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 2: the spread. 698 00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 3: The standard is the standard. That's our motto, that's our creed, 699 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,480 Speaker 3: that's our approach time and time again. 700 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,239 Speaker 2: I just think it's going to be an ugly game, 701 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 2: hard fought game. Both of these teams have an incentive 702 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 2: to win, regardless of, you know, whatever else is going on. 703 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 2: They know the first the only thing they really have 704 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 2: to do is win and then just pray. So I 705 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 2: think you get the best effort from both teams. And 706 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 2: I'm just not convinced that Baltimore is in a spot 707 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,840 Speaker 2: where now they're they're you know, winning games by a 708 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 2: touchdown or more. Again, so gimme Pittsburgh plus five and 709 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 2: a half in Baltimore. 710 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't mind taking the points here. And but 711 00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 3: since Harbaugh got there when these two teams met two 712 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,520 Speaker 3: thousand and eight, favorites of more than a field goal 713 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,600 Speaker 3: in this rivalry are one, fourteen and two. Again, it's 714 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 3: a spread crazy, all these games end up coming down 715 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 3: to a field goal, hard fought, They know each other well. Yeah, 716 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 3: and I just double checked that is the Ravens path 717 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,399 Speaker 3: if they get all that to happen. If they win 718 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 3: and New England wins and Jacksonville wins, the Raiders will 719 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 3: clinch and then the Ravens will need the Raiders to win, 720 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,919 Speaker 3: but the Raiders will probably sit everybody. It's not looking great. 721 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 3: This should be a battle. I don't mind taking the 722 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 3: points here. 723 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 2: You know what the Steelers could have really used though, 724 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 2: a win against the Lions. 725 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, what a what a crazy year? 726 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:18,799 Speaker 2: Yeah? Who are you going for your third? 727 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 3: All right? For my third pick and the final pick 728 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 3: of the week eighteen NFL Weekend six pack, I'm going 729 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 3: with Los Angeles Chargers minus three at bet MGM against 730 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 3: the Raiders in Las Vegas. This isn't a number that 731 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 3: I think has a ton of value, but you know 732 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 3: it's at three or below seeing get blow actually money 733 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,080 Speaker 3: line them with Buffalo in a parlay. I just love 734 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 3: this matchup, and I think that the Raiders are a fraud. 735 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 3: I mean the Raiders are six and two and one 736 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 3: possession games this year, they're three to zero and overtime. 737 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 3: They got the ref game in Dallas without Lamb. Other 738 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 3: than that, since Week eight, it's a team that can 739 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,959 Speaker 3: barely get over seventeen points, and you know, you face 740 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 3: that dallaskin they didn't have CD lamb. You face Nick 741 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:10,359 Speaker 3: Mullens in a completely decimated Browns roster. You barely beat them. 742 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 3: You face Drew Locke and the Broncos, you barely beat them. 743 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,959 Speaker 3: You face Carson Wentz just coming off COVID, You faced 744 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett. Yeah, three of their nine three other nine 745 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 3: wins came against backups. Three of the nine wins came 746 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 3: in overtime. I mean, it's just a team that has 747 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 3: been getting extremely fortunate. Darren Waller should be back, we'll 748 00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 3: see how healthy is. That should help, but this offense 749 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,760 Speaker 3: is still extremely limited. But I really like the matchup 750 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 3: here for a number of reasons. So if you look 751 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 3: at and the Raiders defense has just been on a 752 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,360 Speaker 3: downur pat, the run defense is actually playing well. Not 753 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 3: as important though against the Chargers. Their defense thirtieth in 754 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 3: EPA per dropback since we gate thirty first in success 755 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 3: rate the run dy like I said, better, but not 756 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 3: as relevant against the Chargers. Also, the Chargers' primary weakness 757 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 3: on defense is their rundy. Raiders can't really run it 758 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 3: the rush off. It's thirtieth in EPA. The first meeting, 759 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 3: they had eighteen carries for forty eight yards and the 760 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 3: Chargers won twenty eight to fourteen. Chargers averaged five point 761 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 3: one yards per play, the Raiders averaged three point eight 762 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 3: yards per play, and Herbert absolutely shredded. He started that 763 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 3: game twenty of twenty five for one hundred and seventy 764 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 3: five yards and three touchdowns. Think they went up twenty 765 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 3: one to nothing. Why well, he shreds non cover two zones, 766 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 3: shreds him. I think he's number one in the NFL 767 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,479 Speaker 3: and QBR against zone noncover two zones, top three overall 768 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 3: and zones. But he struggles a little bit with Cover two. 769 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 3: But all the Raiders do is run Cover three. And 770 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 3: guess who's familiar with that Cover three? Justin Herbert cos 771 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 3: Bradley was with the Chargers last year and he showed that, 772 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,720 Speaker 3: and he just shredded Cover three all year long. Teams 773 00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 3: that don't lets that are playing Cover three are justin. 774 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 3: Herbert is just gonna rip him up. So I think 775 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 3: this is a great matchup for Herbert, and I think 776 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 3: that this is a good matchup for the Chargers defense. 777 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,480 Speaker 3: And on top of that, I think this is where 778 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 3: Staley's aggressiveness will really come into play. Love him, you know, 779 00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 3: making the optimal call much more than I trust the 780 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 3: Raiders to do so in this spot. And on top 781 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 3: of all that, you know, just divisional game on field 782 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 3: advantages and as much. But on top of all that, 783 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 3: there is a chance, like I just mentioned, that's very small. 784 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 3: It's not not impacting my bat or anything, but there 785 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 3: is a chance that the Raiders clinched before this game happens. 786 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,240 Speaker 3: And then this line closes at ten because car sits 787 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 3: and everyone sits, and so there is a chance that happens. 788 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,839 Speaker 3: But ultimately, I think that the Raiders have just been 789 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 3: maybe the luckiest team in the NFL this year, and 790 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 3: this is a great matchup for Herbert and it's an 791 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 3: ideal matchup for the Chargers defense. So outside of the 792 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 3: Los Angeles here at three or below, you. 793 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 2: In these situations, because I get this question from time 794 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,319 Speaker 2: to time, we probably both do. Where would you buy 795 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 2: up like a two and a half to minus one twenty? 796 00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 3: It depends on the total a lot of times. But yeah, 797 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 3: I mean the three is king here, So I mean 798 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,440 Speaker 3: I I money lined them, I money line parlaid them. 799 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 3: With the Bills, and I paid minus one twenty two 800 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,399 Speaker 3: money line and the Bills. Look, the Bills could lose. 801 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,200 Speaker 3: It's still the NFL. But I felt really strong doing that. 802 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 3: But yeah, I would pay with this total, I would, 803 00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 3: you know, and the people go for two, the Charters kick. 804 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 3: The situation is worse than the Raiders, so it's not 805 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 3: as important, so I would go maybe I would go 806 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,400 Speaker 3: up to the minus one twenty here in some cases, 807 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:39,319 Speaker 3: you know, if it's a lower total, you know, two 808 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 3: good kickers, whether you know, I might go up to 809 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 3: minus one twenty five, minus one thirty. There's actually a 810 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 3: chance that this maybe a greater chance of normal with 811 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 3: the way that these two teams play, that this doesn't 812 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 3: end on a three right, Like the Charters are going 813 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 3: to like go for it on a lot of four downs. 814 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 3: And if the Raiders win, the Raiders have a better 815 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 3: chance of winning by three anything. The Raiders have a 816 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,879 Speaker 3: really good kicker and they were more inclined to kick. 817 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 3: So Chargers by three on the spectrum of outcomes is 818 00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 3: probably less likelier than a normal favorite with this total 819 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 3: in this spot, given the profile of the Chargers, So 820 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,480 Speaker 3: uh outside with the minus three here, But yeah, with 821 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,760 Speaker 3: minus one tent or throw them the money on parlay 822 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:23,920 Speaker 3: as I did with the Bills. 823 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I don't just mind up on the 824 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 2: money line period. You know, it's not yeah, you're not 825 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 2: paying a time. But I agree, I actually make this 826 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,399 Speaker 2: line right around you know, two and a half three 827 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,000 Speaker 2: without adjusting for the matchup advantage. But I really like 828 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 2: the Chargers in the spot. I think this is kind 829 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 2: of a put up or shut up for Christaley. You know, 830 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 2: we're gonna be aggressive all year long, this and that, 831 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 2: but they've lost some games that they shouldn't have lost 832 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 2: and it's been ugly and they're they're here in this 833 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 2: last game of the season, still needing to cleanse the Raiders. 834 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 2: Every year we see it, they tend to fall apart. 835 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 2: You know, wait in a year and they tend to 836 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 2: will Now. 837 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 3: I like that winning before they got the play, you know, 838 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:01,799 Speaker 3: they got to play all the backups and then yeh, 839 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 3: an impressive effort against the Colts. Kind of like as 840 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:04,759 Speaker 3: the coach. 841 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,440 Speaker 2: So you know, not not knocking them for that. I 842 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 2: respect for doing that. But you mentioned I think something 843 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,759 Speaker 2: was interesting that you mentioned was that, you know, the 844 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,920 Speaker 2: Raiders run defense has been kind of going south, but 845 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 2: you don't really worry. 846 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 3: About their past defense run defense. Their run defense has 847 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 3: been good. 848 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's interesting because the Chargers thirty four for 849 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 2: one to sixty eight in a touch. They ran really 850 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,319 Speaker 2: well against the Raiders in that first matchup. So I mean, 851 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:34,839 Speaker 2: it's not a gimme that they'll be able to stop 852 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 2: the Charge. I mean, Austin Ecker had like a career. 853 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 2: They had a fifteen carry one to seventeen. 854 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: Uh. 855 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,840 Speaker 2: I just think we remember Roundtree breaking a couple of tackles, 856 00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 2: you know, running hard like it wasn't It was just 857 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,919 Speaker 2: the Chargers out physical the Raiders in that first game, 858 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 2: you know, So you know, take that for what it is. 859 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 2: But yeah, I think I think it's a good match. 860 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm saying even if the Raiders run defense like plays, well, 861 00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,879 Speaker 3: it's that that's not going to make or break this game. 862 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 3: But yeah, I could see the Charges have a success 863 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:03,040 Speaker 3: for sure. 864 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 2: That is going to wrap it. For our week eighteen 865 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,560 Speaker 2: weekend six pack to recap, Stuck is going with the 866 00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 2: Jags plus fifteen and a half, the Falcons plus four 867 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,879 Speaker 2: and a half, and the Chargers minus three.

Win here. We'll 892 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 2: go a long way for each of those franchises. So 893 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 2: I was dedicated to Masachia and Stay. 894 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,879 Speaker 3: Sooner or later, there comes a point in the man's 895 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 3: life when he's got to face some fights. I must 896 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 3: stay home tonight. I got hurt enough. I don't want 897 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:54,640 Speaker 3: to get hurt no more. 898 00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:57,120 Speaker 4: I got feelings. You know, I had enough pain. 899 00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 3: I don't want you hanging around the house tonight. 900 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:00,480 Speaker 2: What do youn't on for me? 901 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 3: I'm miserable enough as it is, Alright, so I'll go 902 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,280 Speaker 3: and you know what I'm gonna do for my trouble, hotache, 903 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:07,920 Speaker 3: A big night of hetache. 904 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,799 Speaker 2: All right. Time for our favorite total of the week. Fuck, 905 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 2: it's early January. Got some weather going on, got some 906 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 2: resting going on, a lot of uncertainty here early in 907 00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 2: the week. But what total stands out to you that 908 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 2: you're going with? Three K team. 909 00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:32,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go super low. Let's go Cleveland Cincinnati under 910 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,360 Speaker 3: thirty eight at bet MGM. I played some. If you 911 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 3: saw nap, I played some under forty one and a 912 00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 3: half early this morning, taking the barrow. Probably wouldn't go 913 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 3: if the Chiefs win there, and he might just sit anyway. 914 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,600 Speaker 3: And then then I ended up being announced that it 915 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 3: came down, and then you know, mix it goes on 916 00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,719 Speaker 3: the COVID list. I like this down. I make this 917 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 3: adjusted for the weather, which is gonna be insane. There's 918 00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:58,879 Speaker 3: gonna be twenty to thirty mine hour wins with forty 919 00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 3: mine hour wind. Gust as change, but it's going to 920 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:04,400 Speaker 3: be extremely windy. And these Cleveland games, when they're extremely windy, 921 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 3: they all end the same way. I mean, we just 922 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 3: talk about the Raiders. The Raiders. Browns had a crazy 923 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 3: one last year. The Raiders won sixteen to six. Josh 924 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,239 Speaker 3: Jacobs ran at thirty two times, like looks like a 925 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 3: nineties game and you just can't throw it. And there 926 00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 3: are so many pats in this game. And I think 927 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 3: the Browns are actively tanking based on that game on Monday, 928 00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 3: like they weren't playing Chubb, they weren't trying to run 929 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,400 Speaker 3: the ball. At the end of the game, they sneak 930 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,399 Speaker 3: it on third and one, like when the clock's running down, 931 00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 3: then they call time out instead of spiking it. Just 932 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 3: their play calling, their body language, who they sat. I 933 00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 3: think they're actively tanking, which is smart because you get 934 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,080 Speaker 3: a better draft pick. They could approve five more spots 935 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 3: with the loss year depending on how other things happen. 936 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 3: But more importantly them er the Ravens are going to 937 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 3: finish in last place in the NFC North, and whoever 938 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 3: finishes in the last place the Nasty North huge advantage 939 00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 3: next year. I mean, you're talking the difference between you know, 940 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,279 Speaker 3: you get to play the Jags, you get to play 941 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 3: the Giants instead of Washington, Right, So the divisions that 942 00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,760 Speaker 3: the that the AFC North plays, it's a big difference 943 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,160 Speaker 3: between playing the third and the fourth team. Obviously it's 944 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 3: hard to protect draft positioning too. I think the Browns 945 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:11,439 Speaker 3: are actually tanking. Baker Bayfield's not playing. The only guys 946 00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 3: I think are confident that are playing are like Garrett 947 00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 3: Clowney has like all kinds of sack incentive, so I 948 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 3: think co play. But you're just talking about backup quarterbacks 949 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 3: Burrow's not playing. I doubt some of his receivers play 950 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 3: it just to be a backup quarterback handing it off. 951 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,440 Speaker 3: The Bengals just want to get the hell out of 952 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 3: here healthy. They're both slow teams in general already bottom 953 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 3: ten and neutral situation pace, and I don't think the 954 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,359 Speaker 3: Browns care. The Bengals defense might play and they got 955 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 3: embarrassed the first time to play the Browns. Maybe that's 956 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,879 Speaker 3: like the unit that's motivated. I don't I doubt Chubb 957 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:45,239 Speaker 3: plays much this game in twenty to thirty mile an 958 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 3: hour wins. It's an NFL game. Anything can happen. I 959 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 3: wouldn't be shot in this game, is like three to 960 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 3: three in the second in the fourth quarter. 961 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 2: What do you think of the Bengals plus six and 962 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 2: this guy? I completely agree with the total, by the way, 963 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,960 Speaker 2: but Bengals plus six. You mentioned that the Browns might 964 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 2: be tanking. Is that something you'd be interest or I don't. 965 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 3: Know who's all gonna sit for since he is the problem? Yeah, 966 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,800 Speaker 3: I mean I would lean that way, especially like with 967 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,960 Speaker 3: the total that I make, Like thirty four six points 968 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,440 Speaker 3: is very valuable in a game like this. I just 969 00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,560 Speaker 3: would rather not get involved with the side. But yeah, 970 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 3: if it got the seven, I think you have to 971 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,800 Speaker 3: take and I could go. I mean the stats wins 972 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 3: over twenty miles an hour Historically unders have been extremely good, 973 00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 3: and that's against the clothes. These things always plumbing. I 974 00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,239 Speaker 3: think this thing is only going to go further south 975 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:28,920 Speaker 3: in the market. I think this is gonna be a 976 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:29,479 Speaker 3: plump fest. 977 00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:30,319 Speaker 1: Uh. 978 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:33,439 Speaker 2: For my total, I'm going with probably the second most 979 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,680 Speaker 2: windy game on the slate Bills Jets under forty one 980 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,880 Speaker 2: and a half. You know, expecting fifteen to twenty mile 981 00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,360 Speaker 2: an hour wins year possible rain, tough for the offenses. 982 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,399 Speaker 2: You know, remember this Bill's offense, Brandon, they were playing 983 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 2: a Belichick defense. But remember in the wind, you know, 984 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,960 Speaker 2: Josh how it just it just wasn't there. His in 985 00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,520 Speaker 2: terms of adjusted completion rate, which is pretty much you know, 986 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 2: how many balls are you placing on target when you 987 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,480 Speaker 2: take out drops and whatnot. Allen's twenty first in the 988 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:02,920 Speaker 2: league and Wilson's thirty fifth, So you added with a 989 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,359 Speaker 2: win who had inclement weather. I just don't know how 990 00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 2: functional the passing games are here. The Bills, I've really 991 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 2: liked what they've gotten out of singletary lately. I think 992 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,960 Speaker 2: they keep it on the ground. You know, the this 993 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 2: is going to be a game where they kind of 994 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,400 Speaker 2: just want to get out of here. I don't think 995 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,839 Speaker 2: it's going to be quite similar to the Miami game, 996 00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,280 Speaker 2: where you know, they wouldn't have a chance to eliminate 997 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,719 Speaker 2: Miami would win last year. So this one, you know, 998 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,840 Speaker 2: Therery beat the Jets. The Jets aren't playing for anything. 999 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,439 Speaker 2: Light season divisional unders when the totals above thirty nine 1000 00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 2: hit on a fifty eight percent equip since two thousand 1001 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 2: and three according to our Action Lab data. So yeah, 1002 00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,000 Speaker 2: just taking a gamble here on the on the weather 1003 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,839 Speaker 2: kind of slowing down this explosive Bills offense. Good. 1004 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't I don't mind that under it all. 1005 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:48,400 Speaker 3: I mean, and plus you have to you have to 1006 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 3: look at the I was gonna look at the Jets here. 1007 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 3: It's a lot of points, a lot of points of 1008 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,720 Speaker 3: the total really low with bad weather. But the Bills 1009 00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 3: they just love to blow out. They keep you know, 1010 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 3: they pass a lot, they keep their foot on the gas. 1011 00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 3: They like find ways a lot of times to cover 1012 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 3: these bigger numbers. And then the Jets, I mean, you 1013 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,760 Speaker 3: look It's like Michael Carter's banged up. Crowder and Barrios didn't. 1014 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,759 Speaker 2: Crowd More's probably still out. I mean, I don't know 1015 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 2: he could come back. 1016 00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, more So, then the left tackle situation is back in. 1017 00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,440 Speaker 3: Is on ir fan his backups now on ir Adoga, 1018 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,920 Speaker 3: their backup is now out. You're talking about a practice 1019 00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,759 Speaker 3: squad guy starting at left tackle. They got injuries all 1020 00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:37,719 Speaker 3: over their offensive line, so they could easily get shut 1021 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 3: out here. So I don't mind the under it all, 1022 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,160 Speaker 3: especially when you add in the weather factor. 1023 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 2: So for our totals, Stuck is doing with Cleveland since 1024 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,799 Speaker 2: he under thirty eight, I'm going Jets Buffalo under forty 1025 00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,560 Speaker 2: one and a half. That's gonna rap it for our 1026 00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,759 Speaker 2: favorite totals of the week. Now let's get into our 1027 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:55,440 Speaker 2: favorite season. 1028 00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,439 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, six point teasers. 1029 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 2: Don't tease me to please those unfamiliar with teasers. It's 1030 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 2: when you parlay two or more bets, you get an 1031 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,880 Speaker 2: additional six points toward the spread of each bet. So 1032 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 2: the standard is usually a six point teaser with two teams. 1033 00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:22,960 Speaker 2: That's what we do here on the pod. Stuck. He 1034 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 2: has a lot of excellent content out you could search 1035 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 2: on Google for stucky teasers. You can look it up 1036 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:33,400 Speaker 2: on Action network dot com. But essentially there are a 1037 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:35,520 Speaker 2: bunch of different key numbers, you know, three to four, 1038 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,120 Speaker 2: the six, uh, the seven that you want to tease through, 1039 00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:42,239 Speaker 2: you know, usually looking for numbers in that range. So 1040 00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,040 Speaker 2: that's kind of the theme here, Stuck where you're going 1041 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,800 Speaker 2: with your teaser for Week eighteen. 1042 00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 3: First, we're gonna tease Dallas down to one with New 1043 00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 3: England down to minus a half. I think that New England, 1044 00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:00,520 Speaker 3: you know, it's it's a little played it at a 1045 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,120 Speaker 3: number here, but I like the match up. This Dolphins 1046 00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 3: offense is just a mess. They're a complete fraud. The 1047 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:08,239 Speaker 3: winning streak was a fraud. The Patriots should win this game. 1048 00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,360 Speaker 3: They should be able to run Miami. They should be 1049 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 3: able to get a ton of pressure. Miami can't run 1050 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:18,400 Speaker 3: the ball. Two is lost and this is just again. 1051 00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,080 Speaker 3: I think the Patriots win and then the Cowboys. I 1052 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 3: think the Cowboys are cheap right now, considering that they're 1053 00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,719 Speaker 3: apparently going to play all their starters. Michaelccarthy has come 1054 00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,360 Speaker 3: out and said he's playing to win, and I believe 1055 00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:34,520 Speaker 3: him because he still gets roasted for twenty eleven with 1056 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,359 Speaker 3: in Green Bay. He didn't play his starters the last week, 1057 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,800 Speaker 3: and Packers fans are still mad that that happened and 1058 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 3: they had to buy. And then Eli came in and 1059 00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 3: beat the fifteen to one Packers, so he said he's 1060 00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,800 Speaker 3: gonna play all the stars and play to win. The 1061 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,440 Speaker 3: Eagles apparently weren't on the street. I don't know if 1062 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:55,120 Speaker 3: the help public says are gonna sit everybody. And they 1063 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 3: have COVID. I mean, they have twelve players on the 1064 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,239 Speaker 3: COVID that are either starters or major contributors that are 1065 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,040 Speaker 3: on the COVID list, So you know, they can go 1066 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:04,839 Speaker 3: from like the seventh seed to the sixth seed if 1067 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 3: the Saints get in, but they got nothing really to 1068 00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:10,200 Speaker 3: play for. The Cowboys can improve their seating, but they're 1069 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:11,759 Speaker 3: like ninety percent to be on the four sea. But 1070 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,640 Speaker 3: they want to play. They lost last week. I think 1071 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 3: they want to get their offense going. And I just 1072 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,840 Speaker 3: don't think that the Eagles are gonna plan with the 1073 00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,200 Speaker 3: Eagles backups versus the Cowboys starters. From this part, Michael 1074 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,879 Speaker 3: Parsons did go on the COVID list, which is something 1075 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,400 Speaker 3: worth eating. I mean, he's been spectacular. I also think 1076 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,759 Speaker 3: the Eagles are pretty overrated. I mean, here's here's the 1077 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 3: quarterbacks that they've beat this year. Sam Donald, Jared Goff, 1078 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:41,920 Speaker 3: Teddy Bridgewater, Trevor Simeon, Zach Wilson, Garrett Gilbert, Mike Glennon, 1079 00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,239 Speaker 3: Taylor Heineke, and Matt Ryan. And who they lost to 1080 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:50,400 Speaker 3: Jimmy g Dak Prescott, Mahomes, Brady Carr, Herbert, Daniel Jones. 1081 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 3: One of those doesn't belong to that group. But so yeah, 1082 00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,800 Speaker 3: they've beat up on a bunch of bad quarterbacks, so 1083 00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 3: you know, has been off for what it's worth. And 1084 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:06,239 Speaker 3: but it's just this is starters versus backups. So I'll 1085 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:07,480 Speaker 3: tease the Cowboys down. 1086 00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:10,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that one as well. I'm home with 1087 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,200 Speaker 2: the Patriots here as well. Six and a half to 1088 00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,600 Speaker 2: a half point a little bit of a revenge game 1089 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,480 Speaker 2: for them. They should have beat Miami in Week one 1090 00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,560 Speaker 2: Damien Harris fumbles, But I agree, I think Miami just 1091 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,160 Speaker 2: they're playing really well on defense. But it's been a 1092 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:28,399 Speaker 2: lot of scheme. Bill Belichick, who does he know better 1093 00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:30,279 Speaker 2: than almost any other head coach in the league. Brian 1094 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,440 Speaker 2: Flores used to work for him, So you know, I 1095 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:35,719 Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna have that same advantage. I think 1096 00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,520 Speaker 2: the Patriots will be well prepared here. Now, weird things 1097 00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:40,360 Speaker 2: always happen when the Patriots go to Miami late in 1098 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,000 Speaker 2: the year, So I mean, but that's why you're teasing 1099 00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:44,920 Speaker 2: it down to a half a point. I think the 1100 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,640 Speaker 2: Patriots are the better team. I think they'll be well 1101 00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:49,680 Speaker 2: prepared for Miami. And I don't know, I Miami can 1102 00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:53,200 Speaker 2: get offense like you mentioned, and then I like Dallas, 1103 00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,120 Speaker 2: Mike might do include them and some teasers as well. 1104 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,719 Speaker 2: But for this contest, for the show, I will go 1105 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:03,800 Speaker 2: w Washington from seven to one against the Giants. And 1106 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 2: what really does it for me? I mean, first of all, 1107 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:08,919 Speaker 2: we could just look at the Giants. They've scored forty 1108 00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 2: nine points aka under ten a game in their last 1109 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 2: five games. They haven't been able to move the football. 1110 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:16,040 Speaker 2: They had twenty four yards passing last week. And the 1111 00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,919 Speaker 2: quarter that quarterback is out and a quarterback they didn't 1112 00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,040 Speaker 2: want to play for that quarterback is now starting. So 1113 00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,160 Speaker 2: this Giants offense, I mean, they're just gonna run it 1114 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,960 Speaker 2: every play. It seems like Washington's strength is its run defense. 1115 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,320 Speaker 2: Washington number ten DVOA against the run according to Football 1116 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:35,080 Speaker 2: Outsiders twenty eighth against the pass, so eighteen spots better. 1117 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:39,040 Speaker 2: A top ten defense is Washington against the run. So 1118 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 2: you know that's the Giants game plan. I don't think 1119 00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 2: it's gonna work. Then. What really doesn't for me, though, 1120 00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:48,840 Speaker 2: is Joe Judge, you know, try and I don't know 1121 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:49,840 Speaker 2: what he was trying. 1122 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:51,040 Speaker 3: To do, what's going on with him? 1123 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,839 Speaker 2: Fire up his guys. I mean, I have no idea 1124 00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,120 Speaker 2: this this is and this is like it's just kind 1125 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,840 Speaker 2: of an overshadow by all the other silliness that's been happening, 1126 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,239 Speaker 2: like you know, Antonio Brown wilding out, and you know, 1127 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 2: was Aaron's trying to make him play hurt? And was 1128 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 2: Jaylen Ramsey smacking his own teammates and it's like everything. 1129 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,400 Speaker 2: But you know, so Washington has a fight on the 1130 00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,239 Speaker 2: sideline and Joe Judge calls that out and says, you know, 1131 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,360 Speaker 2: first of all, defending his own organization. I guess Washington 1132 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 2: was on his mind because they're gonna play him next week. 1133 00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:20,840 Speaker 2: But it's like, yeah, we're not. We're not just a 1134 00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 2: clown show organization that has guys fighting on the sidelines. 1135 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:28,880 Speaker 2: So you're gonna fire up the Washington defense specifically a 1136 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 2: defense that has been struggling against the pass. They were mad, 1137 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,520 Speaker 2: they were fighting because they were getting kicked in the ass. 1138 00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:38,880 Speaker 2: You know by the Cowboys passing game, you're gonna fire 1139 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 2: them up, give them bulletin boar material when you pass 1140 00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:46,160 Speaker 2: for twenty four fucking yards last week. That's what you're 1141 00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:50,359 Speaker 2: gonna do. Washington is gonna go so hard in this game. 1142 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 2: Is not gonna be funny. Uh So, it's gonna be 1143 00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,719 Speaker 2: ugly for the Giants. You know, seven is probably still 1144 00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 2: too much to weigh on the road Washington in this 1145 00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,320 Speaker 2: kind of game, divisional game, but teas them down to 1146 00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:04,840 Speaker 2: a point and enjoy Washington coming out just and just 1147 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,440 Speaker 2: completely teeing off on his Giants pass game. I mean, 1148 00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 2: it's it's not gonna be pretty. 1149 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:15,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, Glennon's out and you get from starting he's not 1150 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 3: an NFL color quarterback. But I like, I want to 1151 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:24,440 Speaker 3: take the Giants here because like just from this is 1152 00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 3: it's just the bottom of the market, right Like I 1153 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,480 Speaker 3: want to buy them as this is as low, but 1154 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:32,120 Speaker 3: I don't know where their bottom is, right Like, every 1155 00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:35,240 Speaker 3: time I think they're at their bottom with their quarterback situation, 1156 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,800 Speaker 3: it gets worse. Like I thought about playing them, but 1157 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 3: almost buying them the seven against the Bears, like the 1158 00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 3: Bears are laying seven. I didn't, and I was so grateful. 1159 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,839 Speaker 3: After I watched the first four plays of the game, 1160 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:54,759 Speaker 3: I was like, this is this is bad. So, yeah, 1161 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:58,000 Speaker 3: it's not not good in uh New York. I wonder 1162 00:56:58,040 --> 00:56:59,360 Speaker 3: what kind of crowd ay even gonna get for this 1163 00:56:59,600 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 3: at home? 1164 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,759 Speaker 2: They're at home. Remember, they tend to you know, cover 1165 00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:04,280 Speaker 2: the spread in these like road games. 1166 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:05,960 Speaker 3: Where you have no faith in them that they're not 1167 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:06,360 Speaker 3: even doing that. 1168 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 2: Now they're not doing that anymore. But but this is 1169 00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:11,000 Speaker 2: this is just the perfect spot. Like I agree, like 1170 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,200 Speaker 2: normal weeks, if it wasn't Week seventeen, if Joe Judges 1171 00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,520 Speaker 2: kept his mouth shut, you know, maybe you say, Okay, 1172 00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 2: this line is just too high. But again that's why 1173 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,880 Speaker 2: we're teasing it anyway. But yeah, it's I can't I 1174 00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:22,760 Speaker 2: just can't believe Joe Judge would do that. That's just 1175 00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,840 Speaker 2: that that's what kind of separates these guys, you know, 1176 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,560 Speaker 2: from It's like these Belichick disciples from Belichick. Like Belichick's 1177 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:30,040 Speaker 2: like he has like three rules and one of them 1178 00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,320 Speaker 2: is don't give the other team bulletin war material like 1179 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:34,040 Speaker 2: it just makes those sense. 1180 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:38,240 Speaker 3: Well, raining, raining, and thirty five degrees, Like, how many 1181 00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:39,800 Speaker 3: people are gonna be up this game? Fifty? 1182 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, all Washington fans because I mean they can't they 1183 00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,200 Speaker 2: can't sit in their own stadium, So it's just, you know, 1184 00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:48,760 Speaker 2: gotta go to gotta go to metal WANs for a 1185 00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,320 Speaker 2: better fan experience. How crazy is that sound? All right? Uh, 1186 00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,640 Speaker 2: that's gonna wrap it up for our teasers. Stuck is 1187 00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 2: going Dallas seven to one, in New England six and 1188 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:01,800 Speaker 2: a half to a half point. I'm going to Washington 1189 00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:03,960 Speaker 2: seven to one and New England six and a half 1190 00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,360 Speaker 2: to a half point. Now it's time for our money 1191 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:07,680 Speaker 2: line underdog parlay. 1192 00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:15,720 Speaker 1: Turning good weekends into great weekends. It's time for the 1193 00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:17,200 Speaker 1: money line parlay. 1194 00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 2: All right, we keep having these near misses man a 1195 00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:24,200 Speaker 2: week after week, but still doing pretty good in terms 1196 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,760 Speaker 2: of that. We've hitting one, you know for the year. 1197 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,880 Speaker 2: So people just kind of following the picks in general 1198 00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,480 Speaker 2: should be up regardless, but hopefully you've hit a couple 1199 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,400 Speaker 2: of the parlays. We got a juicy one. 1200 00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,959 Speaker 3: We're still we're still up over We're still up overall. 1201 00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:38,480 Speaker 2: For we got a juicy one as me too, So 1202 00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:39,720 Speaker 2: where are you going? 1203 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a profitable year for him and it 1204 00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,600 Speaker 3: could have been really special for a couple of bounces 1205 00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,240 Speaker 3: went the other way. Books that it works when you're 1206 00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:51,920 Speaker 3: trying to hit these dogs sometimes. This week, I'm going 1207 00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,320 Speaker 3: against the Chiefs again. I'm gonna go with the Denver Broncos. 1208 00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:59,000 Speaker 3: And I don't love this and like it's the second 1209 00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,200 Speaker 3: like it is certaining a Kareem Jackson just went on 1210 00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,280 Speaker 3: ir Drew Lock, who's gonna start? But I think the 1211 00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:07,280 Speaker 3: line is just crazy. So there's value in the raw 1212 00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:11,120 Speaker 3: number for a home divisional team in altitude Chiefs playing 1213 00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:15,440 Speaker 3: their second road game on a short week, and I 1214 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:18,800 Speaker 3: know the Chiefs. We saw their defense for what it was. 1215 00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,520 Speaker 3: I talked about, Oh, their defense is back, like all 1216 00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,400 Speaker 3: they've been doing is playing bad offense. Is the run 1217 00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,640 Speaker 3: defense is still poor. They were just getting lucky on 1218 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:28,640 Speaker 3: points for opportunity and then they got unlucky. They had 1219 00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,280 Speaker 3: some regression coming like with penalties, and that's some these 1220 00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 3: things work in the NFL. So you know, can Drew 1221 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,680 Speaker 3: Drew Lock looked a little better last week, but I 1222 00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,400 Speaker 3: think that the Broncos can run the ball all day 1223 00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:40,920 Speaker 3: on the Chiefs. They did it up and down the 1224 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,440 Speaker 3: field when they played Kansas City. And I know the 1225 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,920 Speaker 3: Chiefs are playing for like if we win and the 1226 00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:50,440 Speaker 3: Titans lose to the Texans, then we can get the 1227 00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,880 Speaker 3: one seed. But like there's a chance that they come 1228 00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:56,280 Speaker 3: out a little flat here. Like it's like we're playing Denver. 1229 00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 3: We know we're probably not going to get the one seed. 1230 00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 3: But ultimately, like the Broncos were open ten point underdogs 1231 01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:05,919 Speaker 3: and I was on them and they should have covered. 1232 01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:09,720 Speaker 3: They didn't. In aarra at in primetime, got a bet 1233 01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,520 Speaker 3: down to eight before a kick and they had four 1234 01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,520 Speaker 3: hundred yards of offense and we're moving up and down 1235 01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:16,200 Speaker 3: the field and just kept turning it over on downs 1236 01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,800 Speaker 3: inside the ten and then had some turnovers and then 1237 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,800 Speaker 3: couldn't score late. But they moved the ball all day. 1238 01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:26,320 Speaker 3: They weren't closed eight. Now you're short week. Second road 1239 01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,880 Speaker 3: game in Denver, you drew lock, which had the count 1240 01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,760 Speaker 3: for there's a drop off between Fredgewater and Duty. No, 1241 01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,280 Speaker 3: you're getting ten and a half over threw a key 1242 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,120 Speaker 3: number and two and a half points more. I think 1243 01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:40,360 Speaker 3: this line is too high. There's some you know, I 1244 01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 3: think Denver is getting Denver should get a lot of 1245 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,400 Speaker 3: guys back from COVID that they're missing last week. One 1246 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,440 Speaker 3: of the reasons why they're that line just skyrocketed. They 1247 01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 3: didn't have a lot of players available. The secondary worries me, 1248 01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:57,480 Speaker 3: especially if certain can't go. But I think the line 1249 01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,280 Speaker 3: is too hot. There's just value in this number and 1250 01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:02,439 Speaker 3: this span of outcomes in the weirdness of the final 1251 01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:06,320 Speaker 3: week of the regular season. This now becomes Denver's Super Bowl. 1252 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,400 Speaker 3: So let's go with the Denver Broncos plus three forty 1253 01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 3: at bet MGM, playing a team that they have lost 1254 01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 3: twelve straight too. Nobody beats the Denver Broncos thirteen times 1255 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:19,480 Speaker 3: in a row. 1256 01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 2: I mean, I really wish it was Bridgewater. It would 1257 01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,280 Speaker 2: have been It's a little easier to stop. But it 1258 01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:26,280 Speaker 2: is one of those last games of the year type 1259 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:31,400 Speaker 2: weirdness that could happen. How parlay that with the Atlanta 1260 01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,880 Speaker 2: Falcons plus one sixty five at bet MGM. We already 1261 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,400 Speaker 2: talked about it. I just think the number is way 1262 01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:39,320 Speaker 2: too high for a Saints team that is pretty much 1263 01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,080 Speaker 2: their offense is Alvin Kamara, and he's great, but we 1264 01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 2: know running just simply doesn't impact the outcome of games 1265 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,000 Speaker 2: as much as throwing the ball does. And I think 1266 01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:50,479 Speaker 2: Atlanta has the edge in that category. Even if pitt sits, 1267 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,040 Speaker 2: I think it wants the edge. I mean, you're talking 1268 01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:55,000 Speaker 2: about Seeson Hill versus Matt Ryan here, so I think 1269 01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:57,040 Speaker 2: you get the best effort from the Falcons. So I'm 1270 01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 2: going ato plus one sixty five hay out when this 1271 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:05,600 Speaker 2: parlay just about eleven to one year, So one hundred 1272 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:09,280 Speaker 2: dollars bet gets you back aleven sixty six, so ten 1273 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:14,160 Speaker 2: sixty six in profit. Really great payout on this Parlayjuic 1274 01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,560 Speaker 2: the odds for each of them individually as well, So 1275 01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:18,120 Speaker 2: let's do this. 1276 01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:24,920 Speaker 4: The Action Network podcast is proudly presented by BETMGM, and 1277 01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:28,360 Speaker 4: to celebrate the twenty twenty one NFL season, bet MGM 1278 01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:31,040 Speaker 4: is offering a great sign up offer for our listeners, 1279 01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:35,120 Speaker 4: a one thousand dollars risk free first bet.

This is interesting because you know, green Bay 1313 01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:21,760 Speaker 2: is a public Darwin. They usually get a lot of money, 1314 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:23,720 Speaker 2: definitely a lot of bets. They're still getting the best 1315 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,520 Speaker 2: sixty seven percent of the bets we've trapped on green Bay, 1316 01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,640 Speaker 2: you know in our Action Network app, but eighty four 1317 01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:32,840 Speaker 2: percent of the money on the Lions. The Packers are 1318 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,480 Speaker 2: saying they're not going to rescuy the entire game, but 1319 01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:39,000 Speaker 2: from the money, it seems like some people, some smart 1320 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:39,720 Speaker 2: people think they are. 1321 01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,000 Speaker 3: Well, this line has gone all over place. I mean, 1322 01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:46,240 Speaker 3: Detroit at one time was favored. Then I think they're 1323 01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:50,960 Speaker 3: favored by like two, and then the Packers came out. 1324 01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:54,120 Speaker 3: La Flora has come out and he said, look, everyone 1325 01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,240 Speaker 3: wants to play and he recently just came out within 1326 01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,080 Speaker 3: the last couple of hours and said, we've done studies, 1327 01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:02,360 Speaker 3: and it said that it's advantageous for teams to not 1328 01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,080 Speaker 3: rest their starters in the final week, especially when they 1329 01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 3: have a bye week. I know Belichick never did, never 1330 01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:10,400 Speaker 3: rested starters and keeping rest Brady. He would rest like 1331 01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 3: guys that were like banged up in the final week. 1332 01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,400 Speaker 3: So he said, they've done studies. I think the main 1333 01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:20,520 Speaker 3: team they study was a twenty eleven Packers team, and 1334 01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:23,600 Speaker 3: so I believe them that they're gonna come out and 1335 01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:28,360 Speaker 3: play early on. I imagine they probably play like they 1336 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:30,120 Speaker 3: have zero incentive, but they have. They already have a 1337 01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,920 Speaker 3: one seed locked in. I would imagine they play it's 1338 01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,800 Speaker 3: like a preseason game, but like a quarter. I'm just 1339 01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:41,240 Speaker 3: guessing here, And that's kind of what this line implies. Well, 1340 01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,680 Speaker 3: it implied that when the when it was like a pick, 1341 01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,600 Speaker 3: you know, that's kind of what it implies. I make 1342 01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:51,200 Speaker 3: this line like eleven and a half. I think if 1343 01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:56,320 Speaker 3: it was like just no no rest at four, you know, 1344 01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,360 Speaker 3: half of you're you're basically saying, art they're gonna play 1345 01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,000 Speaker 3: some point the first half. Obviously you don't know they 1346 01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:04,200 Speaker 3: could play the whole first half, but they're gonna play, 1347 01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:10,120 Speaker 3: and Golf I think might play. That's another thing that's 1348 01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 3: uncertain here. But what I'm gonna do here is I'm 1349 01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:14,400 Speaker 3: gonna look to bet the lines live and you gotta 1350 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,840 Speaker 3: be quick. But maybe the Packers come out and they 1351 01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:21,160 Speaker 3: go up ten ten nothing as soon as they hit 1352 01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,560 Speaker 3: that second score, Like if this happens, the Lions could 1353 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,440 Speaker 3: always score too. But if they go up two scores 1354 01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,320 Speaker 3: at any point, boom lines, because you assume everyone gets pulled. 1355 01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,960 Speaker 3: Then they got their work in. They want to just 1356 01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,400 Speaker 3: stay in routine, I think, and they want to just 1357 01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,560 Speaker 3: get their little game action. So we'll see what the 1358 01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,600 Speaker 3: market is like and how sharp it is and how 1359 01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:43,320 Speaker 3: giving it is on the Lions live. But I'll be 1360 01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,880 Speaker 3: looking for the Lions live. Other than that, it's a 1361 01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,240 Speaker 3: very difficult game to handicap because you don't you just 1362 01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:50,560 Speaker 3: don't know how long Green Bay is gonna play. And 1363 01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,400 Speaker 3: obviously the difference between Rogers and not Rogers is about 1364 01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:54,560 Speaker 3: seven points for a full game. 1365 01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's pretty much you know, the most valuable 1366 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:03,320 Speaker 2: quarterback is this right there with Brady and Mahomes. Depending 1367 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:04,560 Speaker 2: on how you have it rated, but. 1368 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:08,480 Speaker 3: Literally take Adams out. You take Adams out, you tacho 1369 01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:08,920 Speaker 3: on and on. 1370 01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,000 Speaker 2: I would be surprised if Rogers plays. I mean, I 1371 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:12,760 Speaker 2: know it's Wednesday and they're saying he's gonna play, and 1372 01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:16,280 Speaker 2: they don't want that same uh situation that happened that 1373 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:18,000 Speaker 2: it didn't twenty eleven. But you kind of hit on 1374 01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,560 Speaker 2: a point, like they could still rest guys who are 1375 01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 2: banged up. Rogers banged up. He's had a toe injury 1376 01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:26,520 Speaker 2: for what months now, weeks at least, uh, and he 1377 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,240 Speaker 2: hasn't been practicing. Why why why would you go? You 1378 01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:30,920 Speaker 2: walk up to one seed a week, earl, you have 1379 01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,320 Speaker 2: the only buy, so he did, like the the best 1380 01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:38,000 Speaker 2: case scenario possible could have happened to you. Why would 1381 01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:39,800 Speaker 2: you play Rogers even a snat where he could get 1382 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,160 Speaker 2: his toe stepped on? Like you know what I mean? 1383 01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:44,280 Speaker 2: Like it just doesn't make sense to me. I think 1384 01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:45,960 Speaker 2: they want to say it because I think they still 1385 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,040 Speaker 2: want to, you know, other guys to play, and I 1386 01:07:48,120 --> 01:07:51,400 Speaker 2: still think they want to uh beat the Lions obviously. 1387 01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,240 Speaker 2: I think they want guys to be confident heading into 1388 01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:56,680 Speaker 2: the playoffs and into the buy. But I think Rogers sits. 1389 01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 3: I think he's straight up since in this game, I 1390 01:07:58,640 --> 01:07:59,680 Speaker 3: think he plays two drives. 1391 01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:02,080 Speaker 2: I don't think they're risky because, like, I mean, I 1392 01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 2: like Matt Lafore, Like, no, I get it. 1393 01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:05,520 Speaker 3: I wouldn't play it either, But. 1394 01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:08,120 Speaker 2: Like, but Matlafor is smart. It's like that's the thing. 1395 01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 2: It's like we sit here a lot and we've talked 1396 01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,640 Speaker 2: about and we've lost money, you know, betting against the Packers. 1397 01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:14,760 Speaker 2: But you know, you got to give Matt Lafor a 1398 01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:16,599 Speaker 2: lot of credit. You know what he's done in these 1399 01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:20,760 Speaker 2: first three seasons. Yeah, and I just think he's smarter that, 1400 01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,360 Speaker 2: you know, I think he's I think he's smarter than that. Like, 1401 01:08:23,880 --> 01:08:26,320 Speaker 2: I think he's That's that's why the Packers tend to 1402 01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,000 Speaker 2: they have two reasons. It's is Aaron Rodgers. But remember 1403 01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,200 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers wasn't that great for like that span in there, 1404 01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:35,599 Speaker 2: the last few years on the McCarthy. So now it's 1405 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:37,880 Speaker 2: like they overachieve every year. Like it's like, oh, we 1406 01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:39,479 Speaker 2: look at their point differentially, and we look at how 1407 01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,960 Speaker 2: many games they've actually won, how many games they exactly covered. 1408 01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:44,120 Speaker 2: It's they're always overachieving and away like, hey, maybe we 1409 01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,120 Speaker 2: should bet against him, and it's like, Nope, it's like 1410 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:47,880 Speaker 2: in this I just don't I just don't think it's 1411 01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:49,960 Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna actually do it like I 1412 01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:52,760 Speaker 2: think he might think. I think he might think better 1413 01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:54,720 Speaker 2: of it. But I think it's more just games been 1414 01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:56,960 Speaker 2: sure early in the week, make the Lion, Like, why 1415 01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:58,680 Speaker 2: not make the Lions prepare for everyone? Because you want 1416 01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,120 Speaker 2: to give love the best chance too, right, So yeah, 1417 01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:02,439 Speaker 2: I mean that's just a gut feel. I don't have 1418 01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,360 Speaker 2: any insight intel, but I would not be surprised if 1419 01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:10,240 Speaker 2: Roger's plays exactly zero snaps in this game. All right, 1420 01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:14,360 Speaker 2: let's go to Chicago at Minnesota. Minnesota's three and a 1421 01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:18,640 Speaker 2: half point favorites, Total's forty four and a half. I 1422 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:21,280 Speaker 2: kind of wonder that, you know, First of all, I 1423 01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:23,240 Speaker 2: should point out that Minnesota's get ninety one percent of 1424 01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:25,960 Speaker 2: the best and ninety three percent of money, so you know, 1425 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:30,000 Speaker 2: big the books really need or want Chicago here. But 1426 01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 2: I'm just kind of curious, what do you think? How 1427 01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,639 Speaker 2: do you think these teams come out emotionally? We pretty 1428 01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:38,519 Speaker 2: much know it's Naggy's last game, could very well be 1429 01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:41,760 Speaker 2: Mike Zimmer's last game. So and it's just the kind 1430 01:09:41,800 --> 01:09:43,680 Speaker 2: of divisional matchup, but it means absolutely nothing. So, like, 1431 01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,240 Speaker 2: where do you think both each of these teams' heads 1432 01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:47,599 Speaker 2: are at heading into this one? 1433 01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:52,080 Speaker 3: No clue, don't care, don't want to watch, don't have 1434 01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:56,160 Speaker 3: any opinion. Okay, Like Cousins is apparently going to play, 1435 01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,120 Speaker 3: but maybe he won't. I think Zimmer's like checked out. 1436 01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:02,960 Speaker 3: His team might be check out after last week. The 1437 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,920 Speaker 3: Bears are playing hard of late credit for that. The 1438 01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:07,280 Speaker 3: Bike has just been on a down with spot and 1439 01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,599 Speaker 3: I just have no interest in them without feeling that's 1440 01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:11,439 Speaker 3: a whole different offense. And who knows our Cousins is 1441 01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:13,160 Speaker 3: gonna Look, this is the worst part of the week. 1442 01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:15,519 Speaker 3: Eighteen games like this. Take the Bears money line if 1443 01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:17,920 Speaker 3: you want, Like it's a high higher Bearans game. 1444 01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:21,360 Speaker 2: Yeah you got is a favorite? Yeah you know you 1445 01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,439 Speaker 2: know what to do? Tampa Bay Carolina. Talk about a 1446 01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:27,719 Speaker 2: line that says something. Tampa Bay after blown out Carolina 1447 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,720 Speaker 2: almost two weeks ago, thirty two to six, now on 1448 01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,360 Speaker 2: the road, just seven and a half point underdogs, the 1449 01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:37,320 Speaker 2: total forty one and a half. But this is this 1450 01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 2: is really interesting because the line is coming down. 1451 01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:43,639 Speaker 3: This line is app line that the pucker. The starters 1452 01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,240 Speaker 3: aren't gonna play the whole game for Tampa, but arians 1453 01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:48,679 Speaker 3: has come out and said that they will. And last 1454 01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 3: year they did, like in this similar spot, they played 1455 01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:54,320 Speaker 3: the whole game, and Brady usually plays the whole game. 1456 01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,880 Speaker 3: But they have they have a lot more injuries than normal. 1457 01:10:58,439 --> 01:11:01,240 Speaker 3: You know, you lose Antonio Brown. So there's two there's 1458 01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:03,439 Speaker 3: two sides of the coin. It's like, all right, well, 1459 01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 3: we can't afford any more injuries right now given our situation. 1460 01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:10,360 Speaker 3: Or it's like we got to get working, you know, 1461 01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:12,639 Speaker 3: like let's we have to get reps with these other receivers. 1462 01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:17,080 Speaker 3: We have to get chemistry with Brady. But Aaron's has 1463 01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,559 Speaker 3: come out and he's pretty he's like an old school guy. 1464 01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,559 Speaker 3: He's out of it. But they're gonna play, and Brady 1465 01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:24,760 Speaker 3: usually plays these games. And last year the Bucks in 1466 01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,439 Speaker 3: a similar spot. They didn't win the division. They couldn't 1467 01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:29,439 Speaker 3: won the division. They could have like improved their seed 1468 01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:33,439 Speaker 3: from six to five, and they played the Falcons in 1469 01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,280 Speaker 3: the last game of the year, and their starters played 1470 01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:39,479 Speaker 3: the entire game. Like Evans has some incentives. I know that, 1471 01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:44,000 Speaker 3: but this line implies that Brady's gonna play like a 1472 01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:48,640 Speaker 3: half and then they're gonna call to day. I don't know, 1473 01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:50,080 Speaker 3: it's weird to me. 1474 01:11:51,160 --> 01:11:52,000 Speaker 2: Here's an interesting thing. 1475 01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:54,200 Speaker 3: This is a this is a baffling week eighteen one. 1476 01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:57,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, like so the line has come down a little bit, 1477 01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:01,760 Speaker 2: you know, you know, towards the payers. It's seven and 1478 01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:05,000 Speaker 2: a half at better MGM. We've tracked sixty nine percent 1479 01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:07,360 Speaker 2: of the bets and ninety nine percent of the money 1480 01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:09,960 Speaker 2: on the bucks. So this is like the books are 1481 01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,080 Speaker 2: just taking a stand here, Like this is like okay, 1482 01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,000 Speaker 2: like everyone's like, y'all wrong, Like, you know, they must 1483 01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,120 Speaker 2: have took some you know, big big money on Tampa 1484 01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:20,880 Speaker 2: then they knew they were, and then once that, once 1485 01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:23,760 Speaker 2: they got that money, uh, you know, the line they moved. 1486 01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,240 Speaker 2: The line moved the other way. So yeah, it's a 1487 01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:28,680 Speaker 2: fascinating one. There seems to be a lot of these 1488 01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:30,519 Speaker 2: ones where the books are kind of taking a stand 1489 01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,559 Speaker 2: here in this one. And maybe maybe that big money 1490 01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,519 Speaker 2: is not it's not necessarily sharp money. It's just big money. 1491 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:40,120 Speaker 2: But either way, it's it's fascinating, all right. Final one 1492 01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:44,759 Speaker 2: Seattle at Arizona. The cards six and a half point favorites. 1493 01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:48,320 Speaker 2: The total was forty eight Seattle getting sixty five percent 1494 01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:49,920 Speaker 2: of the bets and ninety nine percent of money. So 1495 01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. Some this is the same guy just 1496 01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,000 Speaker 2: betting big on all these in these the divisional uh 1497 01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,559 Speaker 2: these division games here on one side or the other, 1498 01:12:57,800 --> 01:12:59,680 Speaker 2: I don't know. But what do you think of this one? 1499 01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:02,880 Speaker 3: Yeah? I think this lode is a bit too high. 1500 01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:04,960 Speaker 3: The Cardinals are coming kind of predictable. It's like take 1501 01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,320 Speaker 3: them on the road as dogs and then fade them 1502 01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,639 Speaker 3: at home and fade them his favorites, Like I want 1503 01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,400 Speaker 3: to fade the Cardinals here. I want seven. I think 1504 01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:16,200 Speaker 3: I prefer the over. I'm gonna take a little more, 1505 01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,880 Speaker 3: but this if you recalled out to pat myself in 1506 01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:20,840 Speaker 3: the back. But like a month, about a month and 1507 01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:22,760 Speaker 3: a half ago before the forty nine ers team, I 1508 01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:25,080 Speaker 3: was like the Seahawks are an over team, and they've 1509 01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,880 Speaker 3: been like an over, just an over Juggernauts over the 1510 01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,559 Speaker 3: last five weeks. Besides that Ran game, I think they're 1511 01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:32,040 Speaker 3: for and one of the over because like their offense 1512 01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,920 Speaker 3: was underperforming, like their early downs, they were elite, but 1513 01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:37,000 Speaker 3: it wasn't translating the points. It wasn't translated late dense 1514 01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:41,040 Speaker 3: and their defense was like elite in the scoring department, 1515 01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:43,080 Speaker 3: but they had some worrying signs and then like now 1516 01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,880 Speaker 3: they've had like all these shootouts since and then Russ 1517 01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,439 Speaker 3: is healthy, right, and you saw Russ finally, you know 1518 01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:51,240 Speaker 3: he's I think he's fully healed and he finally started 1519 01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,559 Speaker 3: to cook over the past couple of weeks. 1520 01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:57,840 Speaker 2: So the ball now they can run again. 1521 01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,280 Speaker 3: And I think that I think that this is game 1522 01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:02,479 Speaker 3: where and and the and the cardinal secondary is a 1523 01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:05,120 Speaker 3: mess right now. I think this is a game where 1524 01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,680 Speaker 3: Carol also will be aggressive. Like that's one of the 1525 01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:10,800 Speaker 3: things that I hate about Seahawks overs generally, and that's 1526 01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:12,360 Speaker 3: one one of the reason I started playing them lately, 1527 01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:14,040 Speaker 3: because it's like now they have nothing to lose, right, 1528 01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:15,760 Speaker 3: So it's not it's not like Carol's like, oh, we 1529 01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:17,360 Speaker 3: gotta run it, and like we got a punt on 1530 01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:19,479 Speaker 3: fourth and one, so I think you'll get it's like 1531 01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:24,439 Speaker 3: the last game of the year. So and I think 1532 01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,880 Speaker 3: Mary will have success some success against the Seahawks. I 1533 01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:31,400 Speaker 3: think that this this total is a little low, and 1534 01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:33,600 Speaker 3: I would look, Seattle, if you can grab a seven. 1535 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:35,519 Speaker 2: All right, that is going to wrap it up for 1536 01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:38,400 Speaker 2: the best of the rest time for our Survivor pool 1537 01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:42,080 Speaker 2: picking a week. If you're still in it and just like, congratulations, 1538 01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:44,920 Speaker 2: I can't imagine it's like a lot of people that 1539 01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:48,200 Speaker 2: still are you Obviously, as you say, YA don't need 1540 01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:50,280 Speaker 2: our help. But if you had to pick one team 1541 01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 2: you know lock to win this week would be. 1542 01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I would go Bills, but you've probably 1543 01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:58,280 Speaker 3: used them. I mean obviously, if you like have the cults, 1544 01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:02,280 Speaker 3: you got to use them, but you probably you probably 1545 01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:05,760 Speaker 3: have used them. Yeah, I would. I would use the 1546 01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,479 Speaker 3: Charges if you haven't, or Dallas if you haven't, but 1547 01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:11,400 Speaker 3: you might have used them. Wow, So you could use Washington, 1548 01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:13,680 Speaker 3: you probably haven't used them. But if you're still in 1549 01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:15,479 Speaker 3: it and you have limited options we haven't mentioned just 1550 01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:18,559 Speaker 3: and you're in a big pool, DM me and I'll 1551 01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:20,240 Speaker 3: try to help you out, but you probably don't mean 1552 01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:22,160 Speaker 3: my help.
