Speaker 1: another instant reaction on what was three hours of absolute drek.
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, television star, big time personality, saved the broadcasts,
Speaker 1: saved a night of dreary football. My takeaway was, I
Speaker 1: was absolutely rooting for Baker Mayfield to drive at ninety
Speaker 1: eight yards for a winning touchdown. I'm in the story business.
Speaker 1: It's a great story, and you know everybody knows my
Speaker 1: history with Baker Mayfield. I think that's honestly the most
Speaker 1: impressive win of his career. And I'm dead serious. He
Speaker 1: won a playoff game. Go back, and look at that
Speaker 1: Cleveland roster. The old line was like number two in
Speaker 1: the league. Nick Chubb, David and Joku Good receivers, Miles Garrett.
Speaker 1: That was a really really good roster and they beat
Speaker 1: kind of a old big Ben you know, kind of
Speaker 1: a wobbly Steeler team. This was impressive. Ben Scronic was
Speaker 1: his go to receiver tonight, a second year pro who
Speaker 1: was fourth or fifth on the depth chart, missing multiple
Speaker 1: offensive lineman. That's impressive. To walk into a city, new playbook,
Speaker 1: new coach, new system, new teammates. I mean, nobody really knows.
Speaker 1: Baker Fist bumped a few guys. I mean, Kirk Curvestreet said,
Speaker 1: I've been in town. He goes like, I here Tuesday
Speaker 1: for a speaking engagement. I've been in town longer than
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield to walk in and kind of you could
Speaker 1: tell throughout the course of the game Baker Mayfield was
Speaker 1: just getting the information from Sean McVeigh and instantly relaying
Speaker 1: it to his team. And I imagine as Baker moved
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage, McVeigh was telling him kind
Speaker 1: of what the play was going to precisely look like
Speaker 1: Raiders had because of Max Crosmy a decent pass rush.
Speaker 1: It's not a great defense, but that loss, even by
Speaker 1: Raiders standards, worst of the year for them. They're now
Speaker 1: probably on the outside looking in for the playoffs as
Speaker 1: they end the year with the Niners and the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: so they really really needed this win. But that was
Speaker 1: really impressive by Baker Mayfield. The other thing is you
Speaker 1: don't really I mean, what makes sports is the stories.
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody loves their home team and everybody dislikes
Speaker 1: the rival to the home team. But the reason we
Speaker 1: watch games beyond our favorite team or the team we
Speaker 1: grew up with is the drama, the chance for upsets.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Raiders were hot, the Raiders were healthier.
Speaker 1: The fact the Raiders could not pick up a first
Speaker 1: down on third and one. You don't deserve to be
Speaker 1: a playoff team. You don't deserve to win that game.
Speaker 1: But what made tonight special for Baker is a great story.
Speaker 1: A lot of his faults and problems are his, and
Speaker 1: let's be honest, he couldn't step to the podium for
Speaker 1: his weekly press conference in Cleveland without hissing somebody off right,
Speaker 1: Like he just wasn't quite ready to be the face
Speaker 1: of a franchise. He had more commercials than touchdown passes.
Speaker 1: Seemingly he didn't have great judgment. It was my knock
Speaker 1: coming out of college and in the end, he just
Speaker 1: ticked off too many people. Andrew Berry, the coach, teammates
Speaker 1: handed unraveled. And then he goes to Carolina and you
Speaker 1: know they want to see Sam Donold play, but your
Speaker 1: hand to root for Baker Mayfield tonight. Come on. I mean,
Speaker 1: the reason we watched this stuff is upsets and drama
Speaker 1: and stories outside of our favorite teams we grew up with.
Speaker 1: That was a great story. And not only was it
Speaker 1: a great story because of the multiple holding calls on
Speaker 1: the Rams tonight, Baker was twenty two of thirty five
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty yards a touchdown, no interception. I'm
Speaker 1: not exactly sure he had at least two, but I
Speaker 1: think three other really nice completions that were negated due
Speaker 1: to holding calls. Baker's oll was throwing a pretty good ball.
Speaker 1: When he can set his feet clean pocket, that's never
Speaker 1: been his problem. You know, he gets a little squirrely
Speaker 1: sometimes when he's moving. You know, he rushes things his judgment.
Speaker 1: But if he can set and throw, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: he was a number one pick for a reason. Set
Speaker 1: and throw, let it rip. He can be accurate. But
Speaker 1: you know there's sometimes is this ever true for you?
Speaker 1: Sometimes the more I get into golf, start taking lessons
Speaker 1: or I start playing more, my golf gets worse. I'm
Speaker 1: overthinking and then I'll take like six months off. I'll
Speaker 1: go golf for the first time in the summer. It
Speaker 1: happened this year in Rhode Island. I played the best
Speaker 1: round of golf I've played like four years. I just
Speaker 1: went out and played. I didn't overthink it. Baker was
Speaker 1: playing tonight on adrenaline, little anxiety, a lot of nerves.
Speaker 1: Didn't overthink it. McVay said, here's the play. Re let it,
Speaker 1: step back and let it rip. And as impressive. I'm serious,
Speaker 1: that's about as impressive a moment that Baker Mayfield's had.
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, we all know the playoff win in
Speaker 1: Cleveland for people in Ohio is going to go down
Speaker 1: as a very memorable day. That's a really good team,
Speaker 1: has a really good old line, that was a really
Speaker 1: good roster. This Ram offense is I mean, Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: made the Rams watchable. You know, we saw this a
Speaker 1: couple of nights ago. I was thinking about this. With
Speaker 1: Brady struggled and then his last two drives, you know,
Speaker 1: the defense goes into a little pre event the defense
Speaker 1: is on the field, you start giving up, you know,
Speaker 1: seven to ten twelve yards defense on the field. End
Speaker 1: of a game. Defense gets tired. Suddenly, the defense, you know,
Speaker 1: the Saints against Brady, the Raiders against Baker, gets a
Speaker 1: little more vulnerable, a little more gassed. You're asking you know,
Speaker 1: you're asking these big guys to be on the field
Speaker 1: those last two drives after three and a half hours.
Speaker 1: Brady and Baker Mayfield. When's the last time they were
Speaker 1: mentioned in the same sentence? But you had a root
Speaker 1: for Baker tonight. I mean that was fun. It really
Speaker 1: was a lot like that Buccaneer Saints game with Brady
Speaker 1: just dreck until the final two drives. It really was.
Speaker 1: I think from this point forward, anytime you mentioned Baker,
Speaker 1: you should also simultaneously mentioned Tom Brady. That's the new
Speaker 1: rule in broadcasting. Tom Brady, Baker Mayfield, Baker Mayfield, Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: Where'd you go? Baker? You know we live in the
Speaker 1: same hometown. Now, could you invite him on the volume?
Speaker 1: If an excellent guest, I'm not sure he'd except that
Speaker 1: he's going to be busy actually learning the playbook. Isn't
Speaker 1: that amazing? I mean think about speaking of Brady. When
Speaker 1: Brady moved to Tampa, he literally held secret practices that
Speaker 1: were taped by a helicopter like ten in ink Lee
Speaker 1: trying to learn the playbook with a loaded roster and
Speaker 1: twelve games. In all those practices, Brady was seven and five.
Speaker 1: The protection was bad. He was screaming at teammates. Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield is in town with a bad roster. He doesn't know,
Speaker 1: he can't spell Ben Scronic his best receiver. He doesn't
Speaker 1: know where he to college. He's never seen him play.
Speaker 1: They've probably never run, you know, they've never run in
Speaker 1: game routes, obviously, And Baker Mayfield was pretty accurate tonight
Speaker 1: when he had reasonable time to throw. It's pretty accurate.
Speaker 1: And Raider fans I've supported all year, you earned that l.
Speaker 1: You absolutely earned every inch of that L. That was bad.
Speaker 1: And I've been on the Raiders bandwagon all year. That
Speaker 1: was awful. That was just awful. Tip of the cap
Speaker 1: to Baker Mayfield all right. Time for Sharper Square, Chad Millman,
Speaker 1: CCO Action Network All odds provided by FanDuel. By the way,
Speaker 1: before we get into our picks, I think a really
Speaker 1: fascinating situation I'm gonna throw this at you. So I
Speaker 1: do mock drafts all day. I got no life, right,
Speaker 1: and so in this league, often you will get really
Speaker 1: good players having a down year. They get hurt bad system.
Speaker 1: Rarely do you get average players having a great year.
Speaker 1: Geno Smith, I am betting against him next year. Duplicating
Speaker 1: this right, So you're Seattle, you're the GM. They have
Speaker 1: two first two seconds, a third, two fourths, So those
Speaker 1: are seven high quality picks. Do you would you give
Speaker 1: up a third for Jordan Love who will be twenty
Speaker 1: five bigger then Bryce Young, more talented than CJ. Stroud,
Speaker 1: and more season than all of them. I would give
Speaker 1: up a third for him. Still have two first, two
Speaker 1: seconds to fourth. I wouldn't draft a quarterback because I
Speaker 1: think here's what I think, Chad. If you look at
Speaker 1: that roster, they have two needs nose tackle. Their first
Speaker 1: pick Georgia looks like the next Fletcher Cox, and then
Speaker 1: you can argue center or another receiver. It's a good
Speaker 1: center and wide receiver draft. Until about late second. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't draft a quarterback. I would go get Jordan Love
Speaker 1: with a third. Been in the league. Good coaching behind
Speaker 1: a star? Is he any less talented than CJ. Stroud.
Speaker 1: He's five inches four inches bigger and heavier by twenty
Speaker 1: five pounds than Bryce Jump. What would you do as GM?
Speaker 1: Quarterback is such an important position in the NFL you
Speaker 1: have that much draft capital. I would be as aggressive
Speaker 1: as possible. Package Geno Smith, maybe in number one, maybe
Speaker 1: in number two. Try to get as close to the
Speaker 1: top of the draft as possible and get a player
Speaker 1: at quarterback who you believe is going to be your
Speaker 1: generational talent. I would not do it with Jordan Love.
Speaker 1: I think there's enough tape on Jordan Love from practices
Speaker 1: and preseason games for GMS to understand who he is
Speaker 1: at this point, and also know that Aaron Rodgers when
Speaker 1: they're resigning Aaron Rodgers, they couldn't have believed in Jordan's
Speaker 1: Love because if they did the same way, the Packers
Speaker 1: were like, we gotta get Aaron Rodgers start playing, we
Speaker 1: gotta get rid of Brett Farve. If Jordan Love was
Speaker 1: that good, Aaron Rodgers wouldn't be there anymore because he's
Speaker 1: a pain in the ass. So I disagree with you.
Speaker 1: Remember Seattle does have Denver's first pick, so they're gonna
Speaker 1: have a top five pick without giving up anything. Then
Speaker 1: then then, by the way I'd stand pat, there are
Speaker 1: multiple quarterbacks who could go top five right now that
Speaker 1: you believe could be of that kind of talent to
Speaker 1: be perennial Pro Bowlers. You don't need to go trade
Speaker 1: for a guy who's three years in that A lot
Speaker 1: of people don't think is the next guy. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: do it, all right, as they say, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm poor. I'm pouring I'm pouring cold water on your
Speaker 1: hot take. All right, Well, wouldn't be the first guy.
Speaker 1: So I like, I've been very much an underdog guy
Speaker 1: all year. I'm going to start with a favorite. I like, okay,
Speaker 1: everybody now pouring cold water on the Dolphins. No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Missing both tackles against the best defense and about six
Speaker 1: years in the league. The Chargers are poorly coached, inconsistent
Speaker 1: o line and receiver. Miami's a real team. We overreacted
Speaker 1: to that loss. The fact they were competitive late is impressive.
Speaker 1: They were missing both tackles against the best defensive front
Speaker 1: in the sport. I think Miami is better coached. Stayed
Speaker 1: out West bounces back as a favorite. Minus three really
Speaker 1: like the Dolphins, Sharper Square. Not only do the wise
Speaker 1: guys disagree with you on this on the Favorite Pod today,
Speaker 1: this was what we call our big balls better week.
Speaker 1: You got to have balls if you want to bet
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers and a team that's been banged
Speaker 1: up with a really big coaching deficit. Because I agree
Speaker 1: the Dolphins are just much better coach than the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers. But the Chargers as dogs are different than
Speaker 1: the Chargers's favorites. The Chargers's dogs. There's so much variance
Speaker 1: in how they play, what their play calling is. They're
Speaker 1: complete wild cards in a game that probably can be
Speaker 1: a shootout because I do think that the Dolphins are
Speaker 1: struggling with injuries and the numbers three and a half,
Speaker 1: So you're getting the hook right now. This is a
Speaker 1: total pros Joe's game with the squares on the Dolphins
Speaker 1: and the wise guys on the Chargers. All right, let's
Speaker 1: go back to dogs, which I usually like. Deshaun Watson
Speaker 1: is going to be better in Week two than Week
Speaker 1: one divisional game. Plus six, they've had their number Bengals
Speaker 1: off a wildly crucial watched discuss game over the Chiefs
Speaker 1: pull back a little Browns plus six or five and
Speaker 1: a half sharper square, great number, totally sharp. Play divisional game,
Speaker 1: playing against with the Browns, a team that did horribly
Speaker 1: against a team that is even worse in the Texans.
Speaker 1: This game probably should be lined around four. But there's
Speaker 1: inflation on the Bengals because they are now the public
Speaker 1: darling and what they did to the Chiefs, which we
Speaker 1: talked about. Love the Bengals is two and a half
Speaker 1: point home underdogs. It's exactly what we thought they would do.
Speaker 1: But now the market is so overinflated on the Bengals.
Speaker 1: You have to take the Browns in. This another one
Speaker 1: where there's a huge discrepancy. You've got a lot of tickets.
Speaker 1: Tickets are usually indication of the squares at the public
Speaker 1: coming in. They're all coming in in the Bengals, but
Speaker 1: the money coming in and the Browns football seasons underway.

Speaker 1: I think my favorite bet of the week as a
Speaker 1: dog is the Panthers plus four at the Seahawks. I
Speaker 1: think this team plays hard. I think they like Sam Darnold.
Speaker 1: I think Seattle struggled to put away what is currently
Speaker 1: an awful RAMS team. I think Seattle is a better
Speaker 1: story than a team. People buy into sometimes stories and narratives.
Speaker 1: This game, to me is last second, not shocked if
Speaker 1: Carolina wins for the record. Brian Burns Rookie offensive tackle
Speaker 1: watch out. I like Carolina plus the point Sharper square,
Speaker 1: totally sharp, complete agreement on this. Seattle's really been struggling
Speaker 1: the past few games. Kenneth Walker, he looked like the
Speaker 1: odds on favorite. He was the odds on favorite to
Speaker 1: win Offensive Rookie of the Year. Last three games. That
Speaker 1: running game has been struggling. He's injured, did not practice
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, his backup is injured, did not practice as well.
Speaker 1: There are a lot more third and long situations. Was
Speaker 1: does not play to geno strength. And you're right about
Speaker 1: the Panthers. When Baker Mayfield isn't the quarterback for this team,
Speaker 1: they're mediocre to decent team. Defensively, they're really good on
Speaker 1: explosive plays, defending explosive plays. And jac Horne he's had
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty one coverage snaps this year. He's
Speaker 1: allowed one hundred and thirty eight yards. She's great, he's great.
Speaker 1: So if you look at like the other side of it,
Speaker 1: we just said the Seahawks need to run the ball,
Speaker 1: but they're gonna have a hard time doing it. So
Speaker 1: then you've got a lockdown corner who can take away
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf or Tyler Lockett. So now you've basically eliminated
Speaker 1: all the things that the Seahawks can do. I think
Speaker 1: the wise guys agree that this is a good number
Speaker 1: and they expect it to be a close game. Vikings
Speaker 1: getting a point and a half all odds provided by
Speaker 1: a fan duel, still a better team, more balanced than Detroit.
Speaker 1: Detroit off a big win, feeling themselves it is still
Speaker 1: an absolutely awful back end of the defense, even if
Speaker 1: they outplay Minnesota. Minnesota's got that veteran quarterback, lots of weapons.
Speaker 1: This is a classic. I just don't trust Detroit as
Speaker 1: a favorite. I'll take more stability, at least a defense
Speaker 1: that can occasionally situationally make some stops sharper square. I'll
Speaker 1: take the Vikings and the points you are playing pretty
Speaker 1: square on that one. I don't agree that you can
Speaker 1: say the Vikings are a better team than the Lions.
Speaker 1: In fact, if you look at the numbers, look at
Speaker 1: the advanced metrics, which is what wise guys like to do.
Speaker 1: They don't do total yards on offense, total yards on defense.
Speaker 1: They like to look at the next level. They look
Speaker 1: to look at the metrics that tell you the story
Speaker 1: of the game, regardless of what the final score is.
Speaker 1: So one of those metrics is called DVOA right. Lions
Speaker 1: thirteenth overall in DVOA Vikings twentieth, Lions ninth in offense
Speaker 1: on DVOA Vikings eighteenth defense, Lions nineteenth vis eighteenth. And
Speaker 1: by the way, since the Lions came out of the
Speaker 1: bye and since they fired their defensive backs coach, this
Speaker 1: is a team that statistically offensively and defensively is pretty
Speaker 1: much the Cincinnati Bengals, and everyone thinks the Cincinnati Bengals
Speaker 1: are now going to the super Bowl. So the reason
Speaker 1: why you have a team that has a much worse
Speaker 1: record that is favored at home against the team that
Speaker 1: is leaving their division by many many games is because
Speaker 1: the professionals feel like the Lions are probably a better
Speaker 1: team than the Vikings. And the fact you're getting it
Speaker 1: at one and a half is a really good number.
Speaker 1: I recommend you take it. Sometimes I don't understand numbers
Speaker 1: and I stay away, but I actually think when Mike
Speaker 1: White's at quarterback, it's a reasonably capable offense. They're now
Speaker 1: getting ten. Revenge is overrated in divisional games. I think
Speaker 1: Buffalo's a good team. Ten against the Jets defense seems
Speaker 1: awfully optimistic. I would take the points with the Jets.
Speaker 1: I think they're a real football team. Sharper square. Believe
Speaker 1: it or not, it's square. So right now, the number
Speaker 1: of tickets, the Jets are the public underdog in this game.
Speaker 1: So you mentioned the numbers at ten, it was at nine.
Speaker 1: The tickets are coming in on the Jets, but the
Speaker 1: money the professionals are on the Bills, and so we've
Speaker 1: had what's called the reverse line move. That's when the
Speaker 1: preponderance of tickets are on one side, but the money
Speaker 1: is on the other side, and it moves in the
Speaker 1: direction of the money, not in the direction of the tickets.
Speaker 1: And I think one people believe Mike White is a
Speaker 1: better quarterback than Zach Wilson. But now you're getting tape
Speaker 1: on Mike White. You've got six games of tape in
Speaker 1: the past couple of years, it's easier to figure out
Speaker 1: who this guy is. I think the wise guys feel
Speaker 1: like the Bills will be able to scheme against him differently.
Speaker 1: And I also think they believe the Bills are getting healthy.
Speaker 1: And look what they did against the Patriots ten days
Speaker 1: ago was really impressive. To beat a team that people
Speaker 1: thought was on the ascent in the Patriots and do
Speaker 1: it convincingly on the road in a short week. That's
Speaker 1: not easy to do. You don't do that often in
Speaker 1: the NFL. So there's a lot of enthusiasm for what
Speaker 1: the Bills can be right now all right time for
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what to do with this game. I
Speaker 1: want to ask you Jags plus three and a half
Speaker 1: at the Titans coming off a humiliating loss. Vabel off
Speaker 1: a humiliating loss. My guess is at home they player
Speaker 1: their arts off. But I didn't bet it. Tell me
Speaker 1: the side sharper square. The sharp side is the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: If there is a huge Trevor Lawns question right now,
Speaker 1: he injured his toe, is he going to be playing?
Speaker 1: I think the expectation is that he will be playing.
Speaker 1: What you do by beating the Titans is by beating
Speaker 1: the Jags is by throwing the ball. The Titans don't
Speaker 1: have a downfield threat. Traylan Brooks is not expected to
Speaker 1: play because of the concussion protocols, and the Jags have
Speaker 1: a really good rush defense. Meanwhile, and the other side
Speaker 1: of the ball, let's say Trevor Lawrence does play. The
Speaker 1: Titans defense is crushed by injuries, especially in the secondary.
Speaker 1: They're just like they're playing guys literally off the street
Speaker 1: right now. So you're buying a little bit low in
Speaker 1: the Jacks because what happened with the lines. They got
Speaker 1: completely blown out. And the Titans need to win by
Speaker 1: a margin. It's not like one or two points. If
Speaker 1: they need to win by more than a field goal.
Speaker 1: That's actually when you fade Rabel. So the wise guys,
Speaker 1: if they get Trevor Lawrence are going to be in
Speaker 1: the Jacks. Okay, now, try to talk me into a game.
Speaker 1: For the record. Last week, the minute the game started,
Speaker 1: I knew you were right. It was Denver And I
Speaker 1: looked at them again this week at nine and a
Speaker 1: half and I'm like, God, I hate it, but is
Speaker 1: that the game? Last week? I begged you, I beg
Speaker 1: you to bet the Bronchos, and I begged you to
Speaker 1: bet the Rams. I'm going to do it again. Not
Speaker 1: with the Rams. I'm going to beg you, beg you,
Speaker 1: beg you to bet the Broncos. I will have more
Speaker 1: money on the Bronchos this week than any other game.
Speaker 1: Forget about the teams. Let's just say you put your
Speaker 1: hand over the franchises. If you blindly bet home underdogs
Speaker 1: are seven or more. The last twenty years, they cover
Speaker 1: fifty six percent of the time. And by the way,
Speaker 1: when I give that number, it's not like, oh, they
Speaker 1: win six times out of ten. That's a four hundred
Speaker 1: plus game sample size. It is a lot of games. Right,
Speaker 1: Take it one step further. You've got a team with
Speaker 1: a sixty five plus percent winning percentage, that's Kansas City
Speaker 1: Chiefs against a team that is losing it, that is
Speaker 1: winning at twenty five percent or less. They're winning percentage
Speaker 1: of twenty five percent or less. Since twenty sixteen, those
Speaker 1: winning teams, the teams that win are covering at a
Speaker 1: thirty six percent rate. Okay, that's terrible. Let's take it
Speaker 1: one step further, and there's a reason for all this.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes in November and December in his career is
Speaker 1: thirty two and five against the spread seventeen eighteen and two.
Speaker 1: The reason why all this happens is because when you
Speaker 1: get later in the year, you have bigger favorites. The
Speaker 1: bigger favorites are always the teams that have won for
Speaker 1: two straight months. They're the Kansas City Chiefs, right, and
Speaker 1: so they're inflated. The public is going to come in
Speaker 1: on them. Bookmakers know that, so you are always getting
Speaker 1: extra value when you fade that when you bet against
Speaker 1: those teams, because those teams are so beloved by the public.
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football Patriots Cardinals. Am I betting, buddy Colin?
Speaker 1: I know it's hard. I told you, I hate betting
Speaker 1: bad offenses. Oh, it's terrible. Betting is terrible. Patriots, Cardinals.
Speaker 1: Who would you take? I'd probably take the Cardinals. Um,
Speaker 1: it's interesting. We've talked about this. Like when we do
Speaker 1: the podcasts, we do one on Tuesday, we do one
Speaker 1: on Thursday. In those forty eight hours, we get a
Speaker 1: lot of calls from professional betters who like to talk
Speaker 1: about the games that we were talking about and sort
Speaker 1: of give us their take, and we call it sharp calls.
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of sharp calls this week,
Speaker 1: like in Arizona. It's a little bit because the Pats
Speaker 1: seem to be in some offensive disarray. I think that
Speaker 1: we're talking and we talked about this a couple weeks
Speaker 1: ago with the Cardinals prior to the bye. I liked
Speaker 1: him as dogs against the Chargers and that covered it's
Speaker 1: because they were finally healthy, Like they got Hollywood Brown,
Speaker 1: they got DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins has been all worlds since
Speaker 1: he came back. You're just getting a better look at
Speaker 1: that offense and the Pats if they struggled with anything defensively,
Speaker 1: it's been with Russian quarterbacks. So I favor the Cardinals.
