Speaker 1: Three to one. Welcome players, You're welcome. It's time now
Speaker 1: Benny Penny. Then it is hope you're having a great weekend.
Speaker 1: And Benny versus the Penny where we talk about dogs
Speaker 1: and favorite chalk and no chalk, we give advice on
Speaker 1: the gambling market. For this particular reason, weekend rather and
Speaker 1: it's week eight now in the NFL, So we'll talk
Speaker 1: about all the games coming up on Sunday and Monday.
Speaker 1: We will not talk about the Redskins and Vikings game
Speaker 1: which was played on Thursday night, if you want to
Speaker 1: call that a game. And uh Ravens and Cowboys are
Speaker 1: not playing this weekend, So no bashing of Dakota Prescott
Speaker 1: or Lamar Jackson. We don't have that. But before we
Speaker 1: look ahead, we must look back. Now. I will be
Speaker 1: giving you marginal handicapping advice on these games. And before
Speaker 1: we look back, I just want to tell you that
Speaker 1: the way I in my head that this is supposed
Speaker 1: to work. Just so you understand, if you're a new
Speaker 1: listener and don't go falling down a rabbit hole, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna handicap each game. You shouldn't just bet blindly every
Speaker 1: one of these games. That I like, but if you
Speaker 1: have an opinion on a game and I agree with you,
Speaker 1: then I would say, well, that's probably something you should
Speaker 1: go with. That's probably something you should go because we
Speaker 1: agree on that. So that's how I would advise you
Speaker 1: to handle this, and and that's that's the best way
Speaker 1: to do it. And if you win a lot of money,
Speaker 1: send us a little bit because as we we know,
Speaker 1: David Gascon at the craps table or playing cards, you
Speaker 1: you got a little taste, right, a little taste. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm more so of a craps guy, but black chack.
Speaker 1: If if I'm hot with a dealer and I'm only
Speaker 1: heads up, I will tip out no matter what. It's
Speaker 1: always questionable when people are on first or second base.
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, let's do this thing. Right. You've been
Speaker 1: You've been close to white hot as one can be.
Speaker 1: It's we're now a week eight, but you've had your
Speaker 1: plus five hundred every week except for one, I believe. Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've been good. I mean I'm waiting for that apocalyptic
Speaker 1: weekend where I go all right like that everybody else.
Speaker 1: I know I will funk everyone over if I do that.
Speaker 1: But I I mean, this is unrelievable. But we've made
Speaker 1: it almost to the midway point of the season. And
Speaker 1: I normally practice strategic incompetence, but I've had no malpractice
Speaker 1: picking these games so far. It's crazy. It's wild. Has
Speaker 1: this been the best you've ever been since starting Benny
Speaker 1: versus A Penny? I mean you've asked that before. I don't.
Speaker 1: I try to forget every year, you know, and every show. Um,
Speaker 1: but I would say, yes, this is the most sustained
Speaker 1: success that I have had. Um. And I'm not blowing smoke.
Speaker 1: It is. It's wild, this is a dream. This is
Speaker 1: actually this like sage advice I'm giving out here. It
Speaker 1: is right. I mean, I mean, I'm not I'm not bullshit,
Speaker 1: and I mean this is I I uh, you know,
Speaker 1: intelligent advice from a wise experienced person like myself. Let's
Speaker 1: get to work. So I was ten and four last week, right,
Speaker 1: ten and four again, that's a seven fourteen winning percentage
Speaker 1: if you bet every game. Let's get to it. The
Speaker 1: New York Giants two and five at the Detroit Lions
Speaker 1: to three and one. It's on Fox. You better watch
Speaker 1: with Kenny Albert and Charles Davis, one of the voices
Speaker 1: of Madden Football. Doesn't it seem that Kenny Albert does
Speaker 1: either a Giants or a Jets game every weekend? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does. And he mixes in a little hockey and
Speaker 1: a little baseball too, so well, he's the only guy
Speaker 1: that does every major professional sport in America. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: he does boxing, which is great. And uh, I think
Speaker 1: the only thing I haven't heard him on his tennis.
Speaker 1: And he's a Mallard militia guy. So I liked it.
Speaker 1: We need he doesn't like you. Wow, I need to
Speaker 1: meet him first of all, then he'll definitely not like you.
Speaker 1: The Lions open a seven and a point favorite. They
Speaker 1: are currently a six and a point favorite. Will be
Speaker 1: mostly cloudy in Detroit fifty seven degrees, but it's a
Speaker 1: dome at Ford Field. I'm gonna take the Lions in
Speaker 1: this game. And I don't generally lean towards the favorite.
Speaker 1: This is a good spot. They say that styles make fights,
Speaker 1: and this is a huge mismatch Stylistically, the Lions what
Speaker 1: do they do? They throw the ball deep with Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1: The Giants what do they do? They don't defend the
Speaker 1: big pass. They don't Matthew Stafford is second in deep
Speaker 1: passing attempts. He's seventh in air yards. The Giants on
Speaker 1: the other side are out of thirty two in stopping
Speaker 1: deep passes. You know what, that is a mismatch situation. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: you've got the growing pains of Daniel Jones trying to
Speaker 1: keep up with the Jones Jones is he was sacked
Speaker 1: eight times last week against the Cardinals. Cardinals, and since
Speaker 1: taking over as a starter in Week three, he has
Speaker 1: taken eighteen sacks. That's tied with Joe Flacco for the
Speaker 1: second most in the NFL. So I'm saying, even the
Speaker 1: Lions defense is not very good, it's still gonna have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to mess around with Daniel Jones. And and
Speaker 1: suddenly the Lions have played the toughest edule in the
Speaker 1: NFL so far. Do you know that they played the
Speaker 1: toughest schedule in the NFL? Packers and Vikings and whatnot,
Speaker 1: all these good teams. Now they get to feast on
Speaker 1: a cream puff and this is one of those get
Speaker 1: back on track games. The only concern here for me
Speaker 1: and and I did think about this and handicapped this
Speaker 1: in is the locker room destroy traded one of the
Speaker 1: more popular players to Seattle in a surprising trade, and
Speaker 1: so will we see a Dolphin like revolt where some
Speaker 1: of the other players are like, screw this organization and
Speaker 1: and in the trade deadlines next Tuesday. It shouldn't matter, though,
Speaker 1: because the Giants have been held under two seventy net
Speaker 1: yards in three straight games, first time since three and
Speaker 1: only the Jets have had a longer such streak. Even
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have been more productive than the Giants as
Speaker 1: far as that's concerned. Lions twenty four, Giants Tenure Final.
Speaker 1: I'm penny thanks to the way you're thinking going Lions
Speaker 1: all right? Next up, Tampa Bay two and four at
Speaker 1: Tennessee three and four. It's on Fox. You better watch.
Speaker 1: Kevin Coogler and Matt Millen, who has a new heart,
Speaker 1: are calling this game. The Titans open to two and
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. The line has stayed the same
Speaker 1: at two and a half and your forecast for our
Speaker 1: friend Clay Travis, who's a Titan season ticket older. At
Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium in Nashville, cloudy and gloomy and sixty degrees
Speaker 1: that kick off for Tampa and Tennessee. H Now, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the Titans here small favorite at home. First
Speaker 1: of all, the main wager here is against Jamis Winston,
Speaker 1: who is a mistake prone mess against even second rate defenses.
Speaker 1: The Titans have one of the top defenses in the NFL.
Speaker 1: They bring the beef Tennessee. They're filled with some monsters
Speaker 1: up front and really up and down the defensive side.
Speaker 1: Their fourth in the NFL and scoring defense the Tennessee Titans,
Speaker 1: and they've allowed just sixteen points per game. This is
Speaker 1: a bad matchup for Jamis Winston, a guy that turns
Speaker 1: the ball over a lot, although sporadically he has a
Speaker 1: masterpiece mixed in now. Secondly, I don't love Ryan Tanhill.
Speaker 1: I don't even like Ryan Tanhill, but he had obviously
Speaker 1: been an upgrade over Marcus Mariota. Tells you what kind
Speaker 1: of deep dark place Mariota was in at quarterback for
Speaker 1: the Titans. In the last two games, Ryan Tannehill has
Speaker 1: completed eight of his passes. Now, one of those games
Speaker 1: he came in as the backup and then he started
Speaker 1: the last game. Uh, not that it should have mattered,
Speaker 1: because the Chargers did gag away that game. Shout out
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon. But this week is really not even about
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. It's all about Derrick Henry in the running
Speaker 1: game for the Tennessee Tits. Now, why is that Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay is allowing two point eight nine yards per Russia
Speaker 1: tempt best in the NFL, but seven point seven per
Speaker 1: passing tips, so they they're twenty one in the NFL.
Speaker 1: So there, if Henry can get through an open up
Speaker 1: the passing game, Tannehill will have an opportunity. The Buccaneers
Speaker 1: have five games this season defensively allowing thirty points or
Speaker 1: more and are still tied for the most in the NFL,
Speaker 1: even though they had to buy They're tied with the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: I don't think that game will This game will be
Speaker 1: where Tennessee gets into the thirties. But they should win
Speaker 1: a workman like effort. Here Titans twenty three Buccaneers, Benny,
Speaker 1: I like this spot for you to Penny's going with
Speaker 1: the Titans. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Speaker 1: Ben Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm
Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio
Speaker 1: app al Right. Next up the l A Chargers of Carson, California,
Speaker 1: formerly of San Diego, that reminds me ben Y Can,
Speaker 1: because I know you do. You do some trivia during
Speaker 1: this Benny trivial, Yes you do. Can. I ask this
Speaker 1: week that I can pick the Dick Stockton game. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna find Dick stock didn't one of these games because okay,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, okay, that's good. All right. Well do you
Speaker 1: think Dick Stockton is doing this game? It's Chargers Bears.
Speaker 1: Chargers Bears. No, he's not, he is not. Uh. The
Speaker 1: l A Chargers two and five at Chicago three and three.
Speaker 1: It's on Fox. Tom Brenneman and Chris Spielman have the
Speaker 1: call and the line on this game. The Bears opened
Speaker 1: five and a half. It is now four and a
Speaker 1: half in favor of the home team. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: mostly cloudy fifty four degrees at Soldier Fields, Chicago for
Speaker 1: the kickoff. Now, I'm gonna take the Chargers in this game.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the charge. Now, these are two teams
Speaker 1: that can't get out of their own shadow. Here a
Speaker 1: flawed football teams, careless bungling misdeeds of football. Uh. Both
Speaker 1: these teams were supposed to be top teams in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Neither one is Uh, it's embarrassing, but I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Chargers. It's really more bet against the Bears. The
Speaker 1: Bears have been unable to build up any kind of
Speaker 1: head of steam here. They are a pedestrian in team,
Speaker 1: held back by the incompetence of Mitchell Trubisky and to
Speaker 1: some degree the offensive line. Although I don't blame the
Speaker 1: fat guys. I don't do fat shaming. But Chicago is
Speaker 1: sixth defensively their first and special teams according to the
Speaker 1: Advanced Statistics in the NFL twenty five and offense. And
Speaker 1: this is another opportunity you would think for the Bears
Speaker 1: to get out of the doll drums against the Charger
Speaker 1: team that's also struggling to find success. I just I
Speaker 1: don't see it, you know. And be the professional gamblers,
Speaker 1: the Whales, the Sharps, uh, they're known as the Sharps.
Speaker 1: They are loading up on the Chargers, and so again
Speaker 1: I'm more going against the Bears. I'm also writing the
Speaker 1: big time gamblers here. A loss in this game would
Speaker 1: leave the Bolts with a winless October that has not
Speaker 1: happened since two thousand when they were one. In fifteen,
Speaker 1: I believe Ryan Leaf was the quarterback at that time,
Speaker 1: and so the Charges are entering a saviors season situation.
Speaker 1: The Bears are also in that spot because they're in
Speaker 1: the NFC and in the division with the Vikings and
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, so they're in a uh, pretty
Speaker 1: difficult situation right now. L A is the thirteenth seed
Speaker 1: in the a f C, only the top six get in.
Speaker 1: They got a shot still, though it's not over for
Speaker 1: the Chargers, even though the eyeball test says they have
Speaker 1: no chance. Houston is the last team in the playoffs
Speaker 1: right now in the a f C. There four and three.
Speaker 1: The Chargers are two and five, so there are already
Speaker 1: two games back in the lost column and really three
Speaker 1: games back of Houston because they lost head to head
Speaker 1: to the Houston Texans. But this is a very workable matchup.
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers historically has been great as a road underdog
Speaker 1: of three and a half or more, has got a
Speaker 1: six seventies six winning percentage in his career, and the
Speaker 1: Bears are missing their starting tackles. I believe in this
Speaker 1: or two of their offensive linemen are out in this game,
Speaker 1: and so I expect the Bears to yet again sync
Speaker 1: through the Soldier Field, Turf Chargers twenty seven, Bears twenty
Speaker 1: go on the other way on this one. Penny is
Speaker 1: going with the Bears. That's Penny versus the Penny. Next up,
Speaker 1: Seattle five and two at Atlanta one in six. It's
Speaker 1: on Fox, all right, guess on go ahead? And this
Speaker 1: is not a Stockton game either, not a Dick Stockton game.
Speaker 1: You're correct. He is a Sam Rosen Rande Barber game.
Speaker 1: They've got the call. Sam does hockey too, right, doesn't
Speaker 1: do the Rangers? Does the Rangers? Yeah? So him and
Speaker 1: Kenny Albert do Rangers Devils and then they do some
Speaker 1: NBC games as well. Yeah, but Sam doesn't do baseball thing, No,
Speaker 1: he does not. Good guys said we we shta have
Speaker 1: him on the Blitz when I did that. Nice guy,
Speaker 1: all right. So anyway, Seattle Atlanta Seahawks opened at three
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. They're still favored by three
Speaker 1: and a half. Mostly cloudy in Atlanta sixties seven at kickoff.
Speaker 1: But again, it's a dome. I believe it's a retractable rule,
Speaker 1: so it could be could be open. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Seahawks here as a small road favorite. I don't
Speaker 1: really like home underdogs. I tried to find an angle
Speaker 1: for Atlantic, couldn't do it. Maybe you're a better gambler
Speaker 1: than me, and you can find an angle for Atlanta.
Speaker 1: At first glance, this point spread seemed for gazy. The
Speaker 1: Falcons just got blown out by the Rams. Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: is dinged up, and they have started to unload veteran players.
Speaker 1: They traded Mohammed Sanu to the Patriots earlier in in
Speaker 1: the week, and in the Seahawks, you know the many
Speaker 1: reasons for Like in Seattle, this is a hungry team.
Speaker 1: They coughed up a game at home to the Ravens.
Speaker 1: Something doesn't pass the smell test. Now, my theory is history.
Speaker 1: Seattle has not been a great road team. Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: has dominated head to head against some good Seattle teams.
Speaker 1: He's five and two all time, including the postseason sixteen
Speaker 1: touchdowns foreign receptions against the Seahawks. He's really done well.
Speaker 1: No matter who's played defense for Seattle, this is not
Speaker 1: a great defensive team for the Seahawks. Now. Secondly, Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: you would assume will be locked in the entire Seahawks
Speaker 1: team is gonna be locked in because of the loss
Speaker 1: last week. Wilson also check this out after a loss
Speaker 1: in his Seahawks career, as long as he's not favored
Speaker 1: by ten or more points, which is not here. Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson has a six eighty winning percentage against the spread
Speaker 1: the following week after a Seattle loss. That is wonderful.
Speaker 1: That is great, and the Seahawks can can really jump
Speaker 1: out and boat race Atlanta. The Falcons are doing these
Speaker 1: come to Jesus meetings and all that, trying to figure
Speaker 1: things out with their head coach, and it's a mess.
Speaker 1: So if Seattle loses game, Pete Carrolls will be fired.
Speaker 1: Seahawks thirty, Falcons twenty. The dirty birds have given up.
Speaker 1: Penny is gone with the Seahawks as well. Be sure
Speaker 1: to catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show weekdays
Speaker 1: at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Alright, let's
Speaker 1: get trivial. You want to get trivial. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get trivial. Levian Bell and Leonard for Nett, are accounting
Speaker 1: for fifty four point seven percent and fifty point nine
Speaker 1: percent of their team's total touches this season. Two of
Speaker 1: the four players currently over fifty who are the other two.
Speaker 1: The answer answer coming up? All right, Next up, New
Speaker 1: York Jets one in five at Jacksonville three and four.
Speaker 1: It's on CBS. Spiroa Adidas and Adam Archiletta have the call.
Speaker 1: The Jags opened to four point favorite. They are a
Speaker 1: six and a half point favorite. Sweet baby Jesus Wow.
Speaker 1: All right, light Light reign eighty four degrees that kick
Speaker 1: off at that corporately named stadium with a swimming pool
Speaker 1: in the end zone there in Jacksonville. H boy, I
Speaker 1: hate to do this, but I you know, sometimes in life,
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta do it. I'm taking the Jets.
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Jets. I'm not proud of it. Um.
Speaker 1: First of all, yeah, I don't wonder what's going on
Speaker 1: with Donald, obviously, I mean that's the story here. Do
Speaker 1: you either nail biting, the cold sweats, the stomach clenching
Speaker 1: and all that. That's Sam Donald. Um. And how does
Speaker 1: Sam Donald respond after Ghost Week? Uh? Traumatic life changing experience. Uh?
Speaker 1: The Jets house of cards came tumbling down in that
Speaker 1: game against the Patriots, and so it's a short week.
Speaker 1: Doesn't have a lot of time here, a lot of
Speaker 1: time to recover and and you know, Sam Donald, according
Speaker 1: to the advanced stats, has been forty four point seven
Speaker 1: percent worse than an average quarterback. That's how bad he
Speaker 1: has been since he came back from the mono and whatnot.
Speaker 1: And in Jacksonville's defense, has a chance here, I I
Speaker 1: know this to seize the opportunity. Historically they don't. The
Speaker 1: Jags are eight and fifteen against the spread, his favorites
Speaker 1: of six and a half or more and in their
Speaker 1: twelve and twenty two is home favorites in the last
Speaker 1: thirty four games. I just don't trust Jacksonville. I was
Speaker 1: on Jacksonville last week. I they were trailing going to
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter against the Bengals. I know it was
Speaker 1: a road game. Uh And and the Jacks also have
Speaker 1: a big game against the Texans next week in London,
Speaker 1: so it's a peek a boost spot also. And secondly,
Speaker 1: as much as I have Minshew mania, my man Gardner
Speaker 1: Minshew is cooled off. He is not playing as well
Speaker 1: as he did early in his run in Jacksonville. He's
Speaker 1: still better than Dak Prescott the last four weeks. But um,
Speaker 1: maybe he he should get a mega contract Gardner Minshew
Speaker 1: because he's better than but Minshew was only three point
Speaker 1: seven percent above an average quarterback. How about that Jacksonville
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack defensively, the twelfth in
Speaker 1: the NFL. The Jags are the first team to rush
Speaker 1: for at least nine hundred yards through seven games while
Speaker 1: rushing for just one touchdown since nineteen seventies seven. Uh,
Speaker 1: how the setting is that like Leonard for net you know,
Speaker 1: the big Star Bowl running back, and he doesn't get
Speaker 1: in the end zone on the ground very often. Now,
Speaker 1: no team has ranked in the top three in yards
Speaker 1: per rush and bottom three and rushing touchdowns for a
Speaker 1: full season since And so my main thinking here is
Speaker 1: that Jacksonville shouldn't be favored by six and a half
Speaker 1: against anybody. And you're gonna if the Jets have anything,
Speaker 1: anything at all, you gotta think they bring it here.
Speaker 1: This is a game you should compete. I'm I don't
Speaker 1: believe the Jets will actually win the game, but you've
Speaker 1: gotta be a contrarian. There's some line value in this
Speaker 1: because there's not that much separating the Jets and jackson
Speaker 1: Even though it sounds seems ridiculous to say that Jacksonville
Speaker 1: twenty four the Jets twenty The couple. Pett is gonna
Speaker 1: say they went out right going with the Jets as well,
Speaker 1: and Ben, as you were making that proclamat about the
Speaker 1: Jets covering Patriots trading defensive and Michael Bennett to the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys for seventh round picks. So just the heads
Speaker 1: up as you factor in everything, all right with this weekend? Well,
Speaker 1: Michael Bennett got suspended and now they've traded him here,
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's a a big loss. He
Speaker 1: had done anything as a Patriots. Let's get trivial the
Speaker 1: answer I said, Levian Bell and Leonard four Nett are
Speaker 1: accounting for fifty four point seven and fifty nine percent
Speaker 1: of their team's total touches this season. Two of the
Speaker 1: four players currently over, who are the other two? Gascon
Speaker 1: you want to give a shot, I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: se Kwon Barkley and the underrated Chase Edmonds of your
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. My Arizona. Uh No, that is incorrect. The
Speaker 1: correct answer you're over to Christian McCaffrey of Carolina and
Speaker 1: Nick Chubble loub Loub the Cleveland Browns running back. They're
Speaker 1: gonna be in a world of pain coming up alright,
Speaker 1: moving on Philadelphia three and four at Buffalo five one.
Speaker 1: It's on Fox. Who's calling this game? Not Dick Stockton,
Speaker 1: Mark Slat is on the call with somebody. No, Well,
Speaker 1: it's Chris Myers and Darryl moose Johnson. I'm over two.
Speaker 1: The you're over for two. Bills opened a one and
Speaker 1: a half point favorite, their favorite body two. It's starting
Speaker 1: to get into Buffalo weather. No snow but rain showers
Speaker 1: and fifty seven degrees at kick off at New Era
Speaker 1: of Field and Orchard Park, New York. It's another one.
Speaker 1: I picked the Jets last. I'm taking the Eagles. I'm
Speaker 1: taking the Eagles. I'm taking Philly. Uh And And here's
Speaker 1: my thinking. Everyone and their mother is waiting for the
Speaker 1: Eagles to play with a sense of urgency. They can't
Speaker 1: fight their way out of a paper bag right now.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. And I've seen no evidence
Speaker 1: that Doug Peterson will get this group focused. It was
Speaker 1: a fiasco in Dallas last week. Phillies past defense has
Speaker 1: been like the filling in the tasty cake. Uh. They
Speaker 1: are so soft they have they have allowed seven ceebers
Speaker 1: to top a hundred yards against them. Now that said,
Speaker 1: this is a value play because I think people are
Speaker 1: overreacting to both the Bills and to the Eagles, because
Speaker 1: Buffalo was trailing themselves late against the Miami Dolphins last week.
Speaker 1: And you know, Philadelphia, they're terrible, but they're not as
Speaker 1: terrible as they played the last couple of weeks. They've
Speaker 1: had a couple of stink bombs here and be The
Speaker 1: Bills are a zero sum team, meaning that they have
Speaker 1: the number three defense in the NFL, but they give
Speaker 1: that up because they have the compass Rows at quarterback
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen, who can't seem to put a whole
Speaker 1: game together. He sucked against the Dolphins until the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: The Bills actually, as I said, they trailed going to
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter against Miami, a team that's not even
Speaker 1: trying um and so that should be worth a loss
Speaker 1: or at least half a loss. So again, these things
Speaker 1: equal themselves out. But this is almost a must win
Speaker 1: game for the Eagles in the NFC NFC East. You
Speaker 1: don't want to get too far away from the Cowboys
Speaker 1: because you got another game with him. I expect a
Speaker 1: better effort here, but we have said that before. The
Speaker 1: Eagles have a six eleven winning percentage against the spread
Speaker 1: his road underdogs in recent years with Doug Peterson. I
Speaker 1: believe Philly wins the game outright Philadelphia twenty four, Bills
Speaker 1: twenty three going against Bills Mafia, Penny not going with
Speaker 1: the Bills. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk

Speaker 1: Let's get trivial. Let's get trivial. Jerry or Rice and
Speaker 1: Blank are the only players from a non D one
Speaker 1: school to average five or more receptions per game in
Speaker 1: their NFL careers. Only two. I know the other one.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll give me the answer to SAC. Next up, Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: oh and seven at the l A Rams. You can
Speaker 1: ram it all day, you can ram it all night.
Speaker 1: You can ram ram it out night. Right. Four and three.
Speaker 1: The Rams are four and three. This game is in London.
Speaker 1: It's not a Dick Stockton game because it's on CBS.
Speaker 1: Greg Gumble and Trent Green have the call. The Rams
Speaker 1: open and nine point favorite. They are favored by thirteen thirteen.
Speaker 1: The Rams, who had lost three games in a row
Speaker 1: favorite playing. That's how bad the Bengals are. Whether at
Speaker 1: Wembley Stadium, where this game is gonna be played clear
Speaker 1: in forty seven degrees at kickoff on Sunday, Ian London.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Rams here. I'm gonna take the
Speaker 1: Rams in this game. I don't like betting big favorites.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't like doing it at all. First
Speaker 1: of all, this is a classic teacher versus pupil matchup
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh versus his protege in Zach Taylor of the Bengals,
Speaker 1: and the turns out the sequel is not the equals.
Speaker 1: So far, the Sean McVeigh coaching tree has been mostly
Speaker 1: poison ivy uh, it's not gone's so well all. I
Speaker 1: guess technically the guy in in Green Bay La Fleur
Speaker 1: is on the Sean McVeigh spectrum um, even though he
Speaker 1: went somewhere else after that. And all that, but that
Speaker 1: the Rams have won all nine regular season games against
Speaker 1: AMC opponents since Sean McVeigh took over. Check this out.
Speaker 1: If the Rams win on Sunday, they would become the
Speaker 1: He would become Sean McGray the first head coach since
Speaker 1: the merger to win his first ten games against the
Speaker 1: opposite conference, and I see no reason to think the
Speaker 1: Rams won't win the game. You could say they might
Speaker 1: not cover the SPREP, but I see no reason that
Speaker 1: they're not gonna win the game. Secondly, the Rams edition
Speaker 1: of Jalen Ramsey worked out wonderfully. Uh and according to
Speaker 1: Football Outsiders, they have the NFL's fourth best defense. They're
Speaker 1: now getting better with Jalen Ramsey. The Rams defense has
Speaker 1: not allowed a rush of ten or more yards on
Speaker 1: any of their opponent's last sixty two rushing attempts. That
Speaker 1: is the longest streak by any NFL team this season
Speaker 1: the Rams, and it's the longest streak by a Ram
Speaker 1: team the last twenty five years. They were back in
Speaker 1: the in Anaheim, playing as the l A Rams of
Speaker 1: Anaheim back then. Now on the other side, the Bengals.
Speaker 1: Check this out. The Bengals have allowed at least two
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards and two ounter net passing yards in
Speaker 1: each of the last three games. How bad is that?
Speaker 1: I'll tell you first team to do it in three
Speaker 1: straight games since the nineteen fifty New York Yankees of
Speaker 1: the NFL. About that, uh, And in Andy Dalton, who
Speaker 1: won his first eight starts. He was a fun fact
Speaker 1: about Dalton. He won his first eight starts, but this
Speaker 1: year he is oh and seven as a starter. So
Speaker 1: should the Bengals lose this weekend, Andy Dalton becomes the
Speaker 1: first quarterback in NFL history to both start a season
Speaker 1: eight and oh and oh and eight at some point
Speaker 1: in in in his career. And now, I hope you
Speaker 1: forget that because that will probably be a who am
Speaker 1: I game question in a couple of weeks. But the
Speaker 1: Bengals are down four starting offensive linemen to above average
Speaker 1: edge rushers and a couple of defensive backs that are
Speaker 1: important for them. So it's a mess. I mean, the
Speaker 1: only thing that worries these London and sometimes weird things
Speaker 1: happen in these London games. But Rams forty Bengals, Tan,
Speaker 1: damn run? How you cutting off this again? Playing again?
Speaker 1: Petties going with the Rams m a night? Yeah? You
Speaker 1: know Ram, All right, what's the answer to Let's get trivial.
Speaker 1: We'll keep the train moving here. We gotta getty up.
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice and Blank. I see Jerry Rice like Pat Summer.
Speaker 1: All that's my homage to Pat Summer. If he sounded
Speaker 1: he guy sounds like a doucheback San Jerry when I
Speaker 1: used to watch games when I was a younger, and
Speaker 1: and Jerry Rice will be playing, and Pat summer All
Speaker 1: and John Madden the big star broadcasters that era, Jerry
Speaker 1: Rice and the forty niners. Anyway, what's the answer here?
Speaker 1: Rice and mother Schmoe are the only players from non
Speaker 1: D one schools to average at least five or more
Speaker 1: receptions per game in their career. I'm gonna go with
Speaker 1: the Rod Smith. That's a good guess, but it's incorrect.
Speaker 1: Come on the correct answer, Cooper Cup. She played in
Speaker 1: Eastern Washington, and he and Jerry Rice so the only
Speaker 1: ones that went to non they call it FBS schools. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: Now in Eastern Washington is uh, it's almost similar to
Speaker 1: Boise State. The smurf turf there. Eastern Washington has the
Speaker 1: red turf. Oh is that right? Yeah? Yeah, I can
Speaker 1: look at the specks in that stadium. You look at it,
Speaker 1: it's bleeding red. It is bright bright red. That didn't
Speaker 1: they ban that the n c a A. Now, the
Speaker 1: grandfather didn't Boise Maybe they grandfather in Eastern Washington, but
Speaker 1: I think they dress it up, but it doesn't rest.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be green fake maybe any color you want, purple,
Speaker 1: it can be black, it can but whatever. You know,
Speaker 1: how cool would a blackfield look with the with the
Speaker 1: white lines on that pop? I know this is a
Speaker 1: from sport for your l A Clipper is an opening
Speaker 1: nine against Lakers. Their new court looks pretty nice. It
Speaker 1: almost looks like street ball. Yeah, yeah, it's all right.
Speaker 1: I had like their logos and I hate the logo.
Speaker 1: I still wear. I have a hat. I wear the
Speaker 1: old logo because I like that better. In the new logo.
Speaker 1: I don't even so dumb for the new logo. They
Speaker 1: gotta change it. You know, they got Kawhi Leonard. Now
Speaker 1: it's a dumb logo anyway. Arizona three, three and one
Speaker 1: at Orleans six and one. It's on CBS. Kevin Harlan
Speaker 1: and rich Gannon have the call. Now. The Saints opened
Speaker 1: is seven and a half point favorite. They were five
Speaker 1: favored by ten in this game. This is one of
Speaker 1: my five Star mallar Walks of the week. It'll be
Speaker 1: sunny and outside the Dome in New Orleans. It will
Speaker 1: probably be about seventy two. Inside the Mercedes Bends super Dome.
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Saints here. I love New Orleans, I
Speaker 1: love him, love him even a ten point favorite. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you why Kyler Murray is getting tossed into
Speaker 1: a pit of warm gumbo. Murray passed for I believe
Speaker 1: a hundred and four yards last week against the Giants.
Speaker 1: The Giants, they got like ten guys on the field defensively.
Speaker 1: And now this Pop Warner all star goes against the
Speaker 1: varsity in Nolin's things are going to get out of hand,
Speaker 1: armor getting Like in Arizona, they can hang with the
Speaker 1: pond scum of the NFL, but against the top defenses,
Speaker 1: they simply don't match up. Now, what's my evidence. The
Speaker 1: two best teams Arizona has played Carolina in Seattle, and
Speaker 1: both those teams took the Cardinals behind the wood shed
Speaker 1: and just whipped the hell out of him, pumbled them
Speaker 1: into submission. They also trailed the Lions Detroit imploded in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of that game, and and the Ravens,
Speaker 1: who I don't even think are that great, defensively by
Speaker 1: double digits. Now conversely, listen, I'll give him credit. They
Speaker 1: were able to beat the Cardinals. The Giants, Falcons and Bengals.
Speaker 1: But spoiler alert, every one beats the Giants, Falcons and Bengals.
Speaker 1: Those teams combined are three and eighteen. That's a one
Speaker 1: three winning percentage. So this is another one of those
Speaker 1: big mismatch situations and beat Nobody has been able to
Speaker 1: find a rhythm against the Saints defense. They will put
Speaker 1: pressure on alligator Arms Murray and he will be like
Speaker 1: butter melting. And and while Teddy Bridgewater has kept the
Speaker 1: motor going there and and outplayed any reasonable expectation at
Speaker 1: quarterback that I had for him and many other people
Speaker 1: had for him. They thought, well, maybe he'll be okay.
Speaker 1: He's been better than okay. And now he goes against
Speaker 1: the limburger cheese defense of the NFL. The Cardinals have
Speaker 1: allowed twenty one or more points intense straight games. That's
Speaker 1: the longest active streak in the NFL. Arizona simply does
Speaker 1: not belong in the same stadium as the New Orleans Saints.
Speaker 1: Arizona thirty. Actually, wait, let me do that again. Guess guy,
Speaker 1: Saints thirty Cardinals zero. I'm a skip the wrong score.
Speaker 1: I would have been at you're calling a shutout. Yes,
Speaker 1: Penny is going with the Arizona Cardinals, who are flying
Speaker 1: high right now, winners of three in row. I am
Speaker 1: predicting a shutout, is what I am doing. I'm calling
Speaker 1: my no props to Kyler Murray for By the way,
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon just sent me a photo of the chair
Speaker 1: that I hit golf. He just sent me a photo
Speaker 1: that I wish you hit a person. That would have
Speaker 1: been a lot cooler with happy Gilmore and me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it would have been good if I was handcuffed and
Speaker 1: taking the jail, that would have be good, all right,
Speaker 1: Denver two and five. By the who did the penny pick?
Speaker 1: I wasn't listening petty pick Keyler Murray and then god
Speaker 1: Alligator on the winners of three in a row. Fun
Speaker 1: sized all right, it's like your kid, you get those
Speaker 1: fun sized candy bars. Car Chase Edmonds, Kyler Murray, who
Speaker 1: gives a ship, let's go quit hitting on him? A right,
Speaker 1: Denver two and five. In Annapolis four and two, it's
Speaker 1: on CBS. I an eagle whose kid is the voice
Speaker 1: of the Clippers now actually sounds good? Uh? And Dan Fouts,
Speaker 1: I know you're excited about anyway, they have the call
Speaker 1: the Colts open to five point favorite, their favorite by
Speaker 1: five and a half. It'll be cloudy in fifty six
Speaker 1: degrees at kickoff at Lucas Oil Stadium Dome. Broncos are
Speaker 1: the pick here. I'm sorry, guess I'm taking your Broncos.
Speaker 1: Here's why, Contrarian pick I admitted many believe this will
Speaker 1: be another nail on the coffin for Joe Flacco as
Speaker 1: Broncos quarterback. He never got his bearings last week against
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, who brought the bull rush, and now he
Speaker 1: goes against a much better defensive team in Indy. Denver
Speaker 1: has scored twenty four points or fewer in sixteen straight games,
Speaker 1: easily the longest active streak in the NFL for offensive incompetence. Nevertheless,
Speaker 1: I like the psychological gambling and the angles of psych
Speaker 1: in this and and there are a lot of good
Speaker 1: angles here to think the bron Ancos can hang around.
Speaker 1: They play, you know, they play this game after an
Speaker 1: embarrassment against Kansas, and I don't walk you through this.
Speaker 1: The Broncos just humiliated on a national TV game against
Speaker 1: the division rival. They've had some extra time to practice
Speaker 1: and try to figure this out and recover. The Colts, meanwhile,
Speaker 1: are coming off a very big win for them in
Speaker 1: division against Houston. Alright, So those are all angles here
Speaker 1: that you have to keep an eye on. Number two,
Speaker 1: Jacobe bra said, he takes center stage again this week.
Speaker 1: He has been a touchdown throwing machine and and and
Speaker 1: just dominating for fantasy football players. And I get that
Speaker 1: India has any Indie has a better team, but I
Speaker 1: keep going back to the mental part of this, and
Speaker 1: every indicator says to go with the Broncos. And remember
Speaker 1: the Colts just a less than a month ago lost
Speaker 1: at home to the Raiders, who are not that great
Speaker 1: a team. So if you lose to the Raiders at home,
Speaker 1: you can certainly lose the le Broncos at home. So
Speaker 1: be the contrarian. Go against the public consensus. Nobody is
Speaker 1: betting on the Broncos this week, So you bet on
Speaker 1: the Broncos to cover Coults a wind, but they won't
Speaker 1: cover the spread Indie four denver one, depending on that way,
Speaker 1: Go with the Broncos. I like the dramatic, pregnant pause
Speaker 1: there for effect. That was nice of you to do that.
Speaker 1: We don't have the best equipment here at times, and
Speaker 1: so sometimes a microphone might fall off an arm or wow,
Speaker 1: it's an amateur hour. You want me to talk to
Speaker 1: one of the executives that I hart? We're best friends? Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: if you can. I'd also need some glass for my car,
Speaker 1: can you help? Al Right? Next up late game, alright,
Speaker 1: three and three at Houston four and three. It's on CBS.
Speaker 1: Andrew Catalan and James Lofton have the call. The Texans
Speaker 1: opened a six and a half point favorite. They are
Speaker 1: favored by six and a half and I picked a
Speaker 1: bunch of bad teams here recently, so I'm gonna keep
Speaker 1: that train moving and take the Raiders in this game. Now,
Speaker 1: it's sunny, seventies, six degrees that kick off in the
Speaker 1: Dome in Houston, but a lot of these domes these
Speaker 1: days are retractable roof stadiums now. Now a couple of
Speaker 1: reasons why I like the Raiders. I don't love him,
Speaker 1: but I like the Raiders. I'm gonna that's the right
Speaker 1: side to pick. Uh. Number one. To say the Raiders
Speaker 1: had a tough time in Green Bay is like saying
Speaker 1: that CNN only mildly disagrees with Donald Trump. The Oakland
Speaker 1: past defensive game. Uh, they gave up six touchdowns to
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. John Gruden had such a visceral reaction to this,
Speaker 1: he snapped and he shook up the locker room. He
Speaker 1: sent Gary and Connolly, the former Ohio State Buckeye defensive back,
Speaker 1: to the Texans the team, Hello, they're playing this way.
Speaker 1: You think John Gruden is going to target Connolly? He
Speaker 1: must think this guy's so bad. I want to throw
Speaker 1: the ball every time whoever he's lined up against. Now,
Speaker 1: you know, Connie's gonna know all of the Raiders plays,
Speaker 1: all their defensive say they're gonna change everything. The Raiders
Speaker 1: are gonna have to change everything gascon because of this Uman.
Speaker 1: That's that's ridiculous. But I'm still picking the Raiders. The
Speaker 1: Raiders allowed the second most passing yards per game this season,
Speaker 1: two nine behind the Buccaneers. The Texans are just behind that,
Speaker 1: and they're allowing the fourth fourth most past yards per
Speaker 1: game in the NFL. So I believe this will be
Speaker 1: a back and forth type of game, one of those
Speaker 1: pinball give and take situations. Now again, in theory, the
Speaker 1: second thing, Gary Connolly should know all of the secrets
Speaker 1: where the bodies are buried for John Gruden and the Raiders.
Speaker 1: But obviously the Raiders think this guy is the village
Speaker 1: idiot and it won't come back to bite them in
Speaker 1: the ass and all that. So we'll find out if
Speaker 1: that's true. And Derek Carr, here's a fun fact. Derek
Speaker 1: Carr leads the NFL in completion percentage seventy four point
Speaker 1: one percent. He's on pace to have the second highest
Speaker 1: completion percentage in NFL history among qualified quarterbacks. But it's meaningless.
Speaker 1: The reason it's meaningless it's it's not for a lot
Speaker 1: of yards yards per intense is what five It's not
Speaker 1: very good at all. I don't I don't have it
Speaker 1: in front of me. But it's not it's not good
Speaker 1: at all. Uh Now, listen, I'm hot and cold on
Speaker 1: the Raiders. I'm hot and cold the Raidors, and this
Speaker 1: week I'm I'm gonna give them another swing. I like
Speaker 1: the Texans to bounce back, but I just expect this
Speaker 1: to be back and forth. And Deshaun Watson goes against
Speaker 1: the marshmallow defense uh in in the Raiders. But again,
Speaker 1: I think the car will be able to move the ball.
Speaker 1: Loved Jacobs, the running back here. Houston lost in Indianapolis
Speaker 1: last week, so you figure they'll get a better effort
Speaker 1: this week. But here's the thing. Since seventeen of the
Speaker 1: twenty three games the Texans have played have been decided
Speaker 1: by seven points or less, it's almost a seven point
Speaker 1: line here, and they generally play up. We're down to
Speaker 1: their opponent. That's been the bill O'Brien, m O. So
Speaker 1: I say, they played down to the Raiders, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the Texans thirty Raiders seven as we getty
Speaker 1: up the penny going with the Houston Texans. Getty up,
Speaker 1: Getty up, Getty up. Caroline at four and two at
Speaker 1: Santa Clara six and oh, and who do you think
Speaker 1: is doing this game? I think this is a Dick
Speaker 1: Stockton game. You are correct, by the process of elimination,
Speaker 1: you win the Dick Stockton game. Uh, it's on Fox.
Speaker 1: This is actually a good game. Though they must have
Speaker 1: scheduled them before they realized that this would be a
Speaker 1: good game. Six And if they had known this would
Speaker 1: have been the matchup, they would have had someone else
Speaker 1: to the game. But what we love Dick Dick Stockton,
Speaker 1: how I said his last name. So on Fox, Dick
Speaker 1: Stockton and Mark Slayworth have the call. Forty Niners opened
Speaker 1: a six and a half point favorite. There are five
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite right now as we're doing this.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be sunny in seventy two at kickoff. You
Speaker 1: ever been to Levi's Stadium? No never, you have not?
Speaker 1: No never? Interesting. Uh, san Francisco native has been. I
Speaker 1: know it's not really in San Francisco. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Panthers in this game. I've been riding the Kyle
Speaker 1: Allen tru Chu train. True, true, I love that choo
Speaker 1: choo train. I'm the conductor he is. He's hanging onto
Speaker 1: the starting job. They're pushing back Cam Newton. If the
Speaker 1: Panthers win this game, and assuming plausibly that Kyle Allen's
Speaker 1: part of the reason for that, which you have to
Speaker 1: think he will be. Uh. If they beat the forty
Speaker 1: niners and knocked them out of the ranks of the unbeaten,
Speaker 1: then Cam Newton can go on vacation. The job is
Speaker 1: is Kyle Allen's. Those are the stakes this week for
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Secondly, Jimmy Garoppolo has been, let's just say,
Speaker 1: not pulling his weight. I talked to somebody this week
Speaker 1: that is an NFL type who has worked in the
Speaker 1: NFL playing in the NFL, who said that he does
Speaker 1: not think the Niners are completely committed to Garoppolo. They
Speaker 1: don't think he can be the guy, and that he
Speaker 1: thinks even if the Niners have this great record and
Speaker 1: all that that Garoppolo, they could opt out of the
Speaker 1: contract after you, so keep that file that away. I can't,
Speaker 1: I can't. I see what you do. He's trying to
Speaker 1: be like that Philadelphia radio guy. They say, hey, who's
Speaker 1: the who's the source on the Eagles? He said, I
Speaker 1: was on Jeffrey. I'm not gonna do it. But how
Speaker 1: will Jimmy Garoppolo do? Will he find salvation against that
Speaker 1: covered two Panthers defense? Probably not keeping Mike Carolina leads
Speaker 1: the NFL with twenty seven sacks, the most by any
Speaker 1: team over the its first six games in the last
Speaker 1: six years. The forty Niners just picked up Emmanuel Sanders
Speaker 1: from your Broncos. Uh, and this is a that's a
Speaker 1: pretty good addition. Uh. He's a middle aged receiver, so
Speaker 1: take that for what it's worth. But they have mixed
Speaker 1: feelings about this game. The Niners are good, but I'm
Speaker 1: not sure they're as good as their record indicates they are,
Speaker 1: and I think that you gotta factor that in here.
Speaker 1: And as we've seen in the World Series, nobody's invincible,
Speaker 1: right the Astros thought they were bullet proof, they're not. Uh,
Speaker 1: you like the hungry your team that would be Carolina,
Speaker 1: still trying to fight back. They won four in a row,
Speaker 1: but they got off that only two star plus Santa
Speaker 1: Clara had two offensive tackles out of the lineup, I believe.
Speaker 1: And the Niners, here's the psychology part, the peekaboo. The
Speaker 1: Niners have to play on Thursday Night Football this upcoming weeks,
Speaker 1: so they get caught peeking ahead. I'm gonna take the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers seven, the forty Niners. Niners will be unbeatenmore
Speaker 1: killing them with Kyle Allen as well, and the Carolina
Speaker 1: Panthers all right. Next up, let's get trivial. Chris Godwin
Speaker 1: and Michael Thomas and Blank are the only wide receivers
Speaker 1: with multiple ten catch hundred yard games this season. Chris
Speaker 1: Godwin of of Tampa, Michael Thomas of New Orleans and
Speaker 1: Blank only receivers to have multiple ten cash hundred yard
Speaker 1: game this season. Next up, Cleveland at New England we
Speaker 1: gotta get you up, so I won't spend too much
Speaker 1: time on this. It's on CBS. This is the big
Speaker 1: game for them. Jim Nance and Tony Romo. Patriots an
Speaker 1: eleven point favorite. They are favored by thirteen. Now it'll
Speaker 1: be a typically rainy, gloomy day in Foxboro, sixty one
Speaker 1: degrees that kick off at Gillette Stadium. And I hate
Speaker 1: doing it because I don't like these big favorites, but
Speaker 1: there's value here the New Englands Patriots on the right side. Hey,
Speaker 1: it is expected that Mohammed Sanu, at least at the
Speaker 1: time we're doing this, will make his Patriot debut after
Speaker 1: the trade from the Falcons earlier this week. All New
Speaker 1: England needs is an average offense. They have a historically
Speaker 1: good defense and we all know that. Seven and all
Speaker 1: New England has recorded twenty two takeaways eighteen interceptions. They've
Speaker 1: given up only one touchdown pass this season. The Patriots
Speaker 1: opponents have a passer rainting of thirty five point six.
Speaker 1: The league bridge is ninety one point four. That's that's
Speaker 1: freaky town, that's nuts. You know, this is just a mismach.
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is going to have to play the game.
Speaker 1: Of his life, and it's still likely won't matter. The
Speaker 1: Patriots in a different universe. They were the parallel universe
Speaker 1: than the than the Patriots, who are just pretenders, or
Speaker 1: the Browns rather, who are just pretenders. Bill Belichick versus
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchens. Please, that's like Albert Einstein versus a newborn baby. Uh.
Speaker 1: Come on. The only reason to even have a tepid
Speaker 1: interest in Cleveland is the rest factor. They had a
Speaker 1: bye week. The Patriots played on Monday night. But the
Speaker 1: way I look at it, uh, this is like a
Speaker 1: It was like a half day for the Patriots because
Speaker 1: they were up so big against the Jets. Patriots will
Speaker 1: win this game thirty one to nine. You're fine, Penny,
Speaker 1: going with the dog in this one, going with the
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. Let's get trivia. What's the answer? I said,
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, Michael Thomas, and Blank are the only receivers
Speaker 1: with multiple ten catch hundred yard games this season. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with Julian Edelman. Julian Edelman. Uh No, Edelman
Speaker 1: rarely gets a hundred yards. He usually gets a lot
Speaker 1: of catches, but not a hundreyards. The correct answer Tyler
Speaker 1: Boyd of the Cincinnati Bank. About that for a fun fact. Wow. Interesting,
Speaker 1: you don't see him that impressed. Now, he had one
Speaker 1: good game that was against apparently said two good games
Speaker 1: Sunday night, Green Bay six and one, Kansas City five
Speaker 1: and two. It's on inby Peacock. Al Michaels and Chris
Speaker 1: Collinsworth have the call. The Green Bay Packers opened up
Speaker 1: a four point actually the Chiefs opened up a four
Speaker 1: point favorite. Then Mahomes got hurt. So the Packers are
Speaker 1: four and app point road favorites. It'll be clear fifty
Speaker 1: three degrees at kick off from Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday night.
Speaker 1: I am gonna take the Chiefs. I don't like saying
Speaker 1: that loudly, but I'm gonna take the Chiefs. Is a
Speaker 1: live home dog. First of all, there is a phrase
Speaker 1: that we say about injured tea tames, Beware of the
Speaker 1: wounded bear. Now that is the reason to like Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Without Patrick Holmes, They're still dangerous, right And you think
Speaker 1: Green Bay is gonna be like, oh, they can't, you know,
Speaker 1: come on, I mean they can't do anything on offense
Speaker 1: without without their quarterback. Here over recent years, teams that
Speaker 1: are a plus teams playing with a backup quarterback in
Speaker 1: the first start have been very profitable for gamblers, and
Speaker 1: there's a couple of reasons for that. A lot of
Speaker 1: it is the public just does not want to bet
Speaker 1: on backup quarterbacks and they think that team is gonna
Speaker 1: fall apart. And I'm not gonna tell you that Matt
Speaker 1: Moore is a good quarterback. He's not at all. As
Speaker 1: he starts for Kansas City, Mahomes being out. In fact,
Speaker 1: at age thirty five, mahomes the oldest Chiefs player to
Speaker 1: start at quarterback since do you know who Jim written?
Speaker 1: Just Damon Heward oh Man, Yeah, daven heard over a
Speaker 1: decade ago. So I'm not gonna tell you that this
Speaker 1: is an upgrade. It's obviously not um And I know
Speaker 1: a lot of people are just gonna be on the packers.
Speaker 1: But all Matt Moore has to do is throw the
Speaker 1: ball out to these They've got a bunch of track
Speaker 1: guys that should be running in the Olympics on Kansas
Speaker 1: City on the outside with Tyreek Kill who can be
Speaker 1: the creator and all that just don't screw it up. Now.
Speaker 1: Obviously Kansas City is not gonna have the deep passing game,
Speaker 1: but they can. They can throw intermediate short passes and
Speaker 1: have some success. Now. Secondly, the Packers just brutalized. They
Speaker 1: bludgeoned the Raiders last week. You don't typically have two
Speaker 1: games like that back to back weeks. Aaron Rodgers looked
Speaker 1: like a Greek god last week, but that's the exception
Speaker 1: to the rule. He's mostly been so I expect things
Speaker 1: to come back and regrets to the meat here. The
Speaker 1: Chiefs defense is obviously not that good either. They played
Speaker 1: very well against the A Chop Liver Broncos team. But
Speaker 1: the Packers are getting so much public money and love
Speaker 1: being on the side of the house, the side of
Speaker 1: the bookie. So I'm gonna take the Packers to win,
Speaker 1: but not cover. Packers twenty seven, Chiefs twenty six, depending
Speaker 1: on with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Last game Monday
Speaker 1: Night Football, Miami oh N six at Pittsburgh two and four.
Speaker 1: It's the Booger Bowl. Booger McFarland and Joe Tessa Tour
Speaker 1: have the call. Now. The Steelers open sixteen point favorites.
Speaker 1: They are fourteen point favorites. The reason they're fourteen point
Speaker 1: favorites is because idiots are betting on the Dolphins. Go
Speaker 1: figure a fool and his money are soon parted. Here.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fifty six partly cloudy at kickoff in
Speaker 1: hines Field, Pittsburgh on Sunday night. I'm gonna take these
Speaker 1: Steelers and I don't like doing it because it's a
Speaker 1: big number. But another flatulent spectacular from Monday Night Football.
Speaker 1: This game should be played to to punish and torture
Speaker 1: people in in like prison camps. Uh, you either get
Speaker 1: thirty days in jail or you have to watch the
Speaker 1: Dolphins play. Uh the Steelers now again. I my my
Speaker 1: instincts my DNA gueston is to not bet on large favorites,
Speaker 1: but the Dolphins aren't even trying. Uh. And I look
Speaker 1: at all the number her. Pittsburgh's won seventeen straight home
Speaker 1: games on Monday Night football. You think they're gonna lose,
Speaker 1: They're gonna win. So will they cover the spread? They
Speaker 1: have not lost at home on Monday Night football since
Speaker 1: they won the best winning percentage in the NFL history
Speaker 1: on Monday Night and under Mike Tomlin their fourteen and
Speaker 1: two in Monday Night Football and have won seven consecutive games.
Speaker 1: It's just insane. That's a trend. It's a very good trend.
Speaker 1: Are you watching this game live? Well, I have a show,
Speaker 1: so I'm hoping there'll be a World Series game, although
Speaker 1: I don't know there will be, but you know, I'll watch,
Speaker 1: but I'll be watching trying to find an angle. Guess
Speaker 1: count all right, the line should actually be much higher
Speaker 1: than this. The the computers that predict the point spread
Speaker 1: like the Steelers as much as an eighteen point favorite,
Speaker 1: So you're getting an extra four points based on that.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins are like a bad Beer League team, um
Speaker 1: playing against professionals. This is not a great vintage of
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and it doesn't really matter whether it's Mason Rudolph
Speaker 1: or Devlin Hodgres under center. I will close my eyes,
Speaker 1: I will cover my ears, I will shut my mouth
Speaker 1: literally and take the Steelers in prime time, blindly in
Speaker 1: the Booger Bowl. Steelers thirty, Dolphins ten penny. Not messing
Speaker 1: around either, going with the Pittsburgh Steelers and that is
Speaker 1: a rap. Thank you, Gascon. I appreciate your fine, fine
Speaker 1: help and just flipping the coin and slaving away for
Speaker 1: Ben Malla. Slaving away for pennies on the dollar be
