Speaker 1: All right, demanse Week two gambling show. After a pretty successful, solid,
Speaker 1: steady start to the year, let's look at how week
Speaker 1: one went again Friday night. That you know, my first
Speaker 1: two picks on there were basically doa the Chiefs minus
Speaker 1: three now when they had it tied. Uh well, actually
Speaker 1: I guess they never had it tie. They yeah, they
Speaker 1: were town one and the down one really made it
Speaker 1: to where like you're in trouble on that. Uh So
Speaker 1: that was in bad shape. And Miami obviously was one
Speaker 1: of the worst picks of the weekend. The other three, though,
Speaker 1: two of them were true never a doubters, and one
Speaker 1: we just did a great job waiting to get optimal
Speaker 1: line value. Cleveland plus five against Cincinnati they should have
Speaker 1: won outright. Raiders plus two and a half against New
Speaker 1: England they did win outright, And we talked about this Tuesday.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it again. If you bet Buffalo against
Speaker 1: Baltimore early in the week, you lost because it was
Speaker 1: Buffalo minus one and a half and that wouldn't have been,
Speaker 1: by the way, one of my picks. But as soon
Speaker 1: as Buffalo, a great team was getting points at home,
Speaker 1: that is an auto of barring a catastrophic injury. That
Speaker 1: is an auto bet that might actually come up this
Speaker 1: week as well. Buffalo plus one was the other winner.
Speaker 1: So we are three and two. We will take three
Speaker 1: and two every single week of the year. Now that's
Speaker 1: you know, a sixty percent clip. We'd be happy with it.
Speaker 1: Let's see how we do this week. Demanse tell America
Speaker 1: my first pick.
Speaker 2: We're coming in at New England plus one at Miami.
Speaker 1: Oh so this is demans me still leaning a bit
Speaker 1: on what I thought about teams before the year and
Speaker 1: try not to overreact to week one. So now you
Speaker 1: might say you can over you know you are overreacting
Speaker 1: to week one by betting against Miami. This is not
Speaker 1: It's not my point. My point is this. I think
Speaker 1: New England right now, going into the year, I thought
Speaker 1: New England would be solid. They obviously didn't look at
Speaker 1: in Week one. But I also thought the Raiders were
Speaker 1: gonna be a good team. I don't think America, and
Speaker 1: I don't think the books think the Raiders necessarily are
Speaker 1: a good team, and so they look at that Patriot
Speaker 1: loss as a total indictment. I don't necessarily look at
Speaker 1: it that way. I do look at Miami as a
Speaker 1: team that going into the year was teetering, and we said,
Speaker 1: you know, needed to get off to a good start,
Speaker 1: and instead they played as poorly, basically as poorly as
Speaker 1: any team in the league this first weekend. And so
Speaker 1: because of that, I'm getting a point. I think Vrabel
Speaker 1: is the better coach. I think Drake may should be
Speaker 1: the better quarterback. We'll see if he is. I think
Speaker 1: that they will try to run at Miami, and I
Speaker 1: think New England will be able to confuse and disrupt Tua,
Speaker 1: and so I I like New England getting the one
Speaker 1: point in Miami. Again, it's not supposed to be crazy
Speaker 1: hot down there this week, and that's something that happens
Speaker 1: sometimes September games in Miami. They get that home you
Speaker 1: know heat edge. Now I understand that Tua and McDaniel
Speaker 1: are four and zero, you know, undefeated against the spread
Speaker 1: and straight up against the Patriots. That's not great, but
Speaker 1: I think it all could fall apart in Miami. I
Speaker 1: think this is an absolute, true must win for New
Speaker 1: England if they have any playoff hopes. You can't started
Speaker 1: the year off losing to the Raiders at home and
Speaker 1: then losing to the Dolphins after they got boat raced,
Speaker 1: and so I will take there. It's done, it's over
Speaker 1: for them, and so I and I will take New
Speaker 1: England plus a point. Your feelings on that.
Speaker 2: I'm fair. I'm actually going with the Dolphins in my
Speaker 2: in my herd picks. I think I've got the minus
Speaker 2: one and a half or some minus one. I don't
Speaker 2: know what the mine is, but uh, okay, yeah my
Speaker 2: one probably well because I think it might be Yeah,
Speaker 2: but yeah, so I'm fainting you there, but yeah, hopefully
Speaker 2: that's a want and over you.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Well I don't love that. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you to be honest, but that's okay, all right. Pick two.
Speaker 2: Next, you've got Jacksonville plus three at Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Listen, I gotta tell you, I'm wishing we were doing
Speaker 1: this show later in the week because my guess is,
Speaker 1: this thing kicks off at three and a half and
Speaker 1: that's a very very very value half point. But still,
Speaker 1: I think Jacksonville's better than Cincinnati. I think the Jacksonville
Speaker 1: best part of their defense is their pass rush, and
Speaker 1: I think Cincinnati is going to struggle with it. I
Speaker 1: think that Cincinnati is not going to be able to
Speaker 1: cover Brian Thomas Junior, who needs to, you know, should
Speaker 1: have a bigger game than he had in Week one,
Speaker 1: and Travis Hunter, you know, was open for a seventy
Speaker 1: yard touchdown and Trevor just missed him. I think that
Speaker 1: we have seen Cincinnati's early season woes are not just
Speaker 1: a Week one thing. They're one and eleven in weeks
Speaker 1: one and two, you know, or two and eleven now
Speaker 1: in the Zach Taylor era. I think Jacksonville wins this
Speaker 1: game outright. If Cincinnati does win, I think it's similar
Speaker 1: to this past week where it is, you know, a
Speaker 1: very very tight game that Cincinnati escapes with Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: in his career is three to eight against the spread
Speaker 1: in weeks one or two. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence has covered
Speaker 1: in five straight games, which as long as that streak
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Because Vegas still underestimates the Jacksonville Jaguars,
Speaker 1: we did not bet them in Week one because I
Speaker 1: don't love laying points with Jacksonville, but getting points, I
Speaker 1: will do it. I think Jacksonville wins this game twenty seven,
Speaker 1: twenty one. I will take the Jags getting three points.
Speaker 1: I'm with you there, You're with me, all right, I

Speaker 1: it was the Chiefs at lost. We are only betting
Speaker 1: one favorite this week. Tell America what it is.
Speaker 2: He's got Arizona minus six and a half of versus Carolina.
Speaker 1: So I think Carolina might be truly truly awful and
Speaker 1: until proven otherwise. If I have a team that I
Speaker 1: think could you know, be frisky adjacent, and it's there
Speaker 1: at home and laying less than a touchdown against Carolina,
Speaker 1: I'll take them. I think that that Jonathan gannon defense,
Speaker 1: now that he finally has some personnel, could really give
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray trouble. I also think that Kyler himself could
Speaker 1: make some could have some success against that Carolina defense.
Speaker 1: I also think that Carolina in Week one was a
Speaker 1: hot a top candidate for the team that looked the
Speaker 1: most out of sorts and the most like what were
Speaker 1: you guys doing all off season? And so because of that,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think people didn't watch that game, in
Speaker 1: part because it was Jaggs Panthers, I understand, but also
Speaker 1: in part because there was that hour plus rain delay
Speaker 1: or weather delay that screwed things up. But this game,
Speaker 1: Carolina's finished with ten points and seven of them were
Speaker 1: total garbage time. Just get to the locker room an
Speaker 1: end of game, you know, nonsense. Jacksonville scored twenty points
Speaker 1: on its first four possessions and then basically just kicked
Speaker 1: it into you know, second gear and coasted home. Travis
Speaker 1: Etienne ran all over Carolina, And I just think Carolina
Speaker 1: is really, really bad. And I'm not having to lay
Speaker 1: more than a touchdown. I will lay the six and
Speaker 1: a half with Arizona.
Speaker 2: All right, That's why I'm with you there. Six and
Speaker 2: a half's a lot Arizona. But yeah, Carolina sucks.
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean it's a lot of points
Speaker 1: to lay. But if yeah, I guess here's my point.
Speaker 1: I think that they as long as they can get
Speaker 1: to seventeen, they'll cover. Like I think Carolina is gonna
Speaker 1: struggle to break ten points and if they get to
Speaker 1: if Arizona gets to twenty one, I'm certain they'll cover.
Speaker 1: And so I just I think Bryce is going to
Speaker 1: struggle against that ganon defense. Allay the six and a half.
Speaker 2: Next you've got Kansas City plus one versus Philly.
Speaker 1: Listen, I'm just telling you guys right now, every time
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is healthy and he's a home dog, he's
Speaker 1: an auto bet. And it's only happened a couple times
Speaker 1: in his career. And by the way, one of them
Speaker 1: was I think against Buffalo in the regular season and
Speaker 1: they lost. I don't care. It is a must bet.
Speaker 1: It is wildly insulting for the Chiefs to be home
Speaker 1: dogs this early in the season against a team at
Speaker 1: any point, really, but against a team that didn't look
Speaker 1: that good in Week one. We spent a lot of
Speaker 1: time discussing this game at the top of the show.
Speaker 1: We don't have to spend more time on it here.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you the Chiefs getting points in arrowhead
Speaker 1: in a game they want I don't know if we
Speaker 1: want to say need, but need adjacent is a must fire.
Speaker 1: And so the Chiefs plus one in a game, I
Speaker 1: expect them to win, outright, I'm just betting that every
Speaker 1: single time.
Speaker 2: I don't, I wouldn't take it, but I.
Speaker 1: Know you wouldn't. That's fine. Listen, And to your point
Speaker 1: as far as my kind of blind, unwavering faith, it
Speaker 1: was a whole two games ago that everyone thought they
Speaker 1: were about to win their third straight Super Bowl. I mean,
Speaker 1: this team, I mean, this team is just totally It's
Speaker 1: been a long two games that has led from everyone
Speaker 1: believing this team is about to pull off the unprecedented,
Speaker 1: impossible three peats two? Are they actually even gonna make
Speaker 1: the playoffs? May Listen, maybe my faith is unwavering, or
Speaker 1: maybe everyone else is just out of their mind.
Speaker 2: All right, say it's two games as if it's been
Speaker 2: like two days, and it's also been like.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, what's that got to do with anything? It's
Speaker 1: just people being bored, all right. Ever, sign up for

Speaker 2: All right, next, so you've got Atlanta plus four and
Speaker 2: a half at Minnesota. Oh you just got it. You
Speaker 2: got an extra half point.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like this at Atlanta plus four. But it's
Speaker 1: but a hard rock bet as of this morning, and
Speaker 1: again we're doing this Wednesday mornings four and a half.
Speaker 1: So here's the deal. I thought it was a great
Speaker 1: win by the Vikings Monday night, but they didn't look
Speaker 1: like awesome. Atlanta played a team that I think is
Speaker 1: really good in Tampa and played them right down to
Speaker 1: the wire. Had a young way coup kick to force
Speaker 1: overtime that he just pushed right and I'm getting points.
Speaker 1: It's a Pinnix JJ McCarthy National Championship Game rematch, Minnesota's
Speaker 1: on a short week. It would not shock me at
Speaker 1: all if Atlanta wins this game. Minnesota is not to
Speaker 1: me in a position where they're gonna be blowing anybody out,
Speaker 1: as JJ McCarthy is a kind of you know, work
Speaker 1: in progress. So I was, I was shocked by this line.
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be Minnesota minus two and
Speaker 1: a half. Minnesota minus four and a half is just
Speaker 1: too attractive. And again Pinnix has shown you a not
Speaker 1: a lot, but enough in his limited sample of like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, I see what we're working with here. Again,
Speaker 1: I could see this being twenty to seventeen Atlanta much less,
Speaker 1: you know, and twenty to seventeen Minnesota. I still win.
Speaker 1: And so I like Atlanta in this spot indoors, short week, Minnesota,
Speaker 1: Atlanta coming off a tough loss, Minnesota coming off you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, a kind of great win. Those
Speaker 1: factors kind of play against each other following week. So
Speaker 1: Demonse my five picks this week. Once again, we're going
Speaker 1: with four dogs. We have New England plus one at Miami,
Speaker 1: Jacksonville plus three at Cincy, Arizona minus eight and a
Speaker 1: half at home against Carolina, kans City plus one at
Speaker 1: home against Philly and Atlanta plus four and a half
Speaker 1: at Minnesota. Now to your teaser, my friend, one to oh.
Speaker 1: Last week, to remind America what a great teaser it was,
Speaker 1: you had a three team eight point teaser at even money.
Speaker 1: You had Dallas getting sixteen. They could have won out right.
Speaker 1: You had Cleveland getting thirteen, they could have won out right.
Speaker 1: You had Buffalo getting nine. They did win outright. This
Speaker 1: is going to be a hard one to top. Let
Speaker 1: me hear what you got.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you're probably not. You're not gonna dig
Speaker 2: this one. But we got a three team eight point
Speaker 2: team teaser. It's at plus one hundred, just like last week's.
Speaker 2: We're teasing Tampa Bay up to ten and a half,
Speaker 2: and we're teasing the Jags up to eleven, and then
Speaker 2: we're gonna tease Philly up to seven. I hate going
Speaker 2: against the grain like this. I love you, Pops, but
Speaker 2: I gotta take that Phil And I know it's just
Speaker 2: across the zero, but it's only one point.
Speaker 1: It's like Philly and you're getting key numbers there. I
Speaker 1: I don't I don't hate it, Demands, because I don't
Speaker 1: think that Chiefs are gonna have like without Xavier and Rashi,
Speaker 1: what are the Chiefs paths to winning by double digits?
Speaker 1: Which is you know what I mean, like Barry slim.
Speaker 2: Philly disaster if like I think that's disastrous, if that is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you if you get blown out by the
Speaker 1: Chiefs when they don't have their top two receiver Shore, Yeah,
Speaker 1: And so like my game pick for Casey Philly is
Speaker 1: twenty seven to twenty four Kansas City, and I love
Speaker 1: the other legs of it. So you're getting Tampa the
Speaker 1: we talked about this game earlier. It's Tampa is playing
Speaker 1: the Texans. You're getting Tampa and you're getting ten and
Speaker 1: a half points. Yeah, but you're and you're getting ten
Speaker 1: and a half points on Monday night and Jacksonville against
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and you're getting eleven points. I like this one
Speaker 1: a lot, Demanda. You get through all the key numbers.
Speaker 1: Your again, like you said, teas through the zero is
Speaker 1: not ideal, but.
Speaker 2: This one it's one. I feel like it's one.
Speaker 1: It's a little different. Yes, agreed. Uh, I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: this like. I like this teaser a lot. I think
Speaker 1: this is I think that's a sharp bet. And I
Speaker 1: also think that like Jacksonville and Tampa also have massive
Speaker 1: even if the game really gets away from him against
Speaker 1: for Jacksonville, against that defense in Cincinnati and Tampa with
Speaker 1: just Baker's kind of disposition, the chance for a back
Speaker 1: door late touchdown down fourteen points or even down seventeen
Speaker 1: points to cover. I love it, so I listen. I
Speaker 1: think that's really good, all right. The offer last week missed.
Speaker 1: It was in theory one pass away from hitting because Trevor.
Speaker 1: We needed two Trevor touchdowns he finished with one. You
Speaker 1: would have needed under one Trevor interception. He finished one
Speaker 1: and the Jags win. But it he had Travis Hunter
Speaker 1: for what could have been a seventy yard touchdown and
Speaker 1: j C. Horn just snagged it out of the air.
Speaker 1: But I smartly stayed away from it. What is this
Speaker 1: week's teaser up? I'm sorry, offer option.
Speaker 2: The offer We're gonna follow up with what we saw
Speaker 2: on Monday Night Football with Caleb and the Bears. So
Speaker 2: they had a good game script and they were ahead
Speaker 2: of everything early, but then they blew it. So the
Speaker 2: offer this week is Chicago first half plus three and
Speaker 2: a half mixed with Detroit UT minus five minus five
Speaker 2: and a half at plus five hundred.
Speaker 1: So it's Chicago to cover in the first half, Detroit
Speaker 1: to cover in the game. I get five and a half.
Speaker 1: And I say this with respecting kindly, this is maybe
Speaker 1: the worst offer we've had yet. I hate this one
Speaker 1: so much. I understand that that is what happened last week.
Speaker 1: I am not interested in betting Chicago plus three and
Speaker 1: a half and trying to just bear win that. So
Speaker 1: then I'm on pace to win Detroit minus five and
Speaker 1: a half. That is, I would need ten to one odds,
Speaker 1: not five to one. I am going to kindly reject
Speaker 1: the offer for the second straight week. I do, however,
Speaker 1: have before we wrap the show something that I think
Speaker 1: the producers are going to really be interested in Demons. So,
Speaker 1: you know my friends at Splash Sports doing these survivor
Speaker 1: pools with them. They season started, so you know, what
Speaker 1: are we gonna do? They presented me with an idea
Speaker 1: of what if starting I think not this week but
Speaker 1: next week, so it'd start in week three and they
Speaker 1: said for this one they might put a guarantee on it.
Speaker 1: I think one hundred thousand dollars guarantee and fifty bucks.
Speaker 1: It would be fifty bucks to enter, so you would
Speaker 1: need what two thousand people to hit the guarantee, but whatever,
Speaker 1: that's their money, not mine. It is in any Time
Speaker 1: Touchdown Survivor Pool, so every week you have to pick
Speaker 1: one person to score a touchdown. You then can't use
Speaker 1: that person again obviously all year, and it's that you know,
Speaker 1: you miss one and you're out. I think that's a
Speaker 1: pretty fun one. I've never I've never thought of an
Speaker 1: Anytime Touchdown Survivor pool, but the producers love themselves in
Speaker 1: Anytime Touchdown bet. They just love it. So I think
Speaker 1: we might get that going with Splash Sports for starting
Speaker 1: in week three, So that would be super fun. So
Speaker 1: I think that's I think we're gonna do that
