1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: Ka boom boom. If you thought four hours a day, 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: minutes a week was enough, I think again. He's the 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: last remnants of the Old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness. 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, the clearing House 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: of Hot takes break free for something special. The Fifth 7 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in the air 8 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: everywhere back in the podcast Jojo The Fifth Hour with 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 1: Ben Maller and Danny G Radio and we are ready 10 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: to dive in two week sixteen of Benny Versus the Penny. 11 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: Are you prepared, Danny G. Yeah, Ben, I am still 12 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,279 Speaker 1: as an NFL fan. I'm still on cloud nine from 13 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: that Vegas trip last Sunday. We will get into that. 14 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: We will have a frame bite frame breakdown on this 15 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: Saturday podcast. We'll find out did you think about leaving? 16 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 1: Did you stay to the end We'll go, We'll get 17 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: to all of that. As you were at you talk 18 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: about your first Raider game, one of the most memorable, 19 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: like we'll remember for the rest of our lives. And 20 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: you happen to be at that game. You're talking about 21 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: good timing. My god, Danny, check put baby, it's almost 22 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: as good as what you've been doing this season with 23 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: your picks. You show off. Well, let's see if that continue. 24 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: Let's strike up the band right now here we go. 25 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: Welcome players, You're welcome. It's time now Benny versus the penny? 26 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 1: All right, Benny versus the penny before we get to 27 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: the week sixteen card and all the games on Saturday. 28 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: That's right, Saturday and sun Day. It's a walky weekend 29 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: because of the Christmas holiday, so we got a bunch 30 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: of games on Saturday and a few games on Sunday, 31 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: so not the usual Sunday monsoon of the NFL. It's 32 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: mostly on Saturday. So we'll get to the pis quickly. 33 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: But last week a full card, sixteen games on the 34 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: NFL schedule, and how did we do well. We got 35 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: off to a very good start on the early part 36 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: of the television window, and we cooled off a little 37 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 1: bit in the late part. But overall, another ten wan weekend. 38 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: So ten five and one against the spread. That's a 39 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,359 Speaker 1: six sixties seven winning percentage. The penny went, unfortunately for you, Danny, 40 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: five ten and one, so not not a particularly memorable 41 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: week for the Penny. That's a three thirty three winning percentage, 42 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: half the side of the devil and overall on the year. 43 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: If you look at the season totals on your podcast, 44 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: you can see right there the graphics will get out 45 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: the telestrator here. So Penny, that would be me hundred 46 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 1: and thirty two wins, eighties, six losses, and six ties. 47 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: That works out to a six or six winning percentage 48 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: to penny, still under five hundred. We've only got a 49 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: few weeks to go. The Penny's gotta get its act 50 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: together here, Danny to finish at five hundred, the penny 51 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: one hundred three wins, one seventeen losses and four ties. 52 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: After that five ten in one week, so that works 53 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: out to wait four winning percentage. A couple of good weeks, 54 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: the penny can get to five hundred, which is what 55 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: you'd expect the penny to be at Mathematically alive, Ben, 56 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: Penny needs you to lose out for the rest of 57 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: the season. The Penny needs to win every game. Uh, 58 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: we need to get that. I'm doing the numbers. We 59 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: need to get the penny at least a five hundred. 60 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: That will make the bit reasonable. But the penny's got 61 00:03:54,200 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: to make up four games in three weeks. So my 62 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: computer like mind tells me, if the penny can make 63 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: up five and a half games a week, will that 64 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: being I think it's gonna be six games? Was six 65 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: games a week? The penny's gonna make up six games 66 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 1: a week above five, Okay, so the penny is gonna 67 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: have to go. There's sixteen games every week, so the 68 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: penny is gonna have to go with twelve and six 69 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: or twelve and four something along like that every week. Yeah, 70 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: you can stop doing the math now. Anyway, we'll get 71 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: to it. Here we go. Are you ready? Are you ready? 72 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: Here we go? Yeah, let's do it all right. We'll 73 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: start out with the New York Giants Christmas Eve in 74 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: the morning Giants and Minnesota Giants eight five and one, 75 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: Minnesota eleven and three. It's on Fox with Adam Amin 76 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: and Mark Slavor. They have the call Vikings open to 77 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: four point favorite. They're favored by four and a half. 78 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: It's lucky. There's a dome in Minnesota. Temperature sunny and 79 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: one degree at kickoff outside US Banks Stadiu him most 80 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: people betting on the Vikings in this game. But I'm 81 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: gonna take the Giants here. Minnesota's defense is so lousy. 82 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: How lousy are they? They're so lousy. I don't trust 83 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: them against anyone, even a subpart. Danny Dimes will find 84 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: open receivers in the Vikings soft secondary. They are cream 85 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: cheese in the secondary. And these teams are closer than 86 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 1: their records indicate. The Giants are still fighting for a playoffs. 87 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: About the Vikings at eleven and three, he have a 88 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: shot at the number one overall record, although they need 89 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: a lot of things to go their way because they 90 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: already lost to Philadelphia. But Minnesota coming off that thirty 91 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: three point come back against the Colts, now they play 92 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: the Giants, but they have the Packers and a key 93 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: divisional game, key rivalry game for them next week. So 94 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Giants and the points. Vikings twenty 95 00:05:52,880 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: seven and the Giants six the final, and the penny 96 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: is going with Danny Jimes and the Giants. Alright, so 97 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: we agree on that. We move on now. This is 98 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: a game that has no redeeming quality whatsoever. Danny New 99 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: Orleans five and nine at Cleveland six and eight on 100 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: CBS with Spirodidas and Jay feely. The Browns opened a 101 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: three point favorite at home, and they are still favored 102 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: by three. This line has stayed flat with the gambling 103 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: market and most people betting on the Cleveland Browns in 104 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: this game is going to be a dome team in 105 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: bad weather, not snowing or rainy, but cloudy and ten 106 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: degrees at kick off in Cleveland and northern Ohio there 107 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: and some of the numbers here. The Saints one in 108 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: five against the spread with Dennis Allen as the coach. 109 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton has not been particularly great there. Although here's 110 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 1: an odd quirk I found when I was handicapping the 111 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: game getting ready for this. In Andy Dalton's career last 112 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: ten games against the Browns, most of those granted with 113 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati ben Gals back in the day. But Dalton 114 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: eight and two against the spread against the Cleveland Browns, 115 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: And this is a game I flip flopped on. I'm 116 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: not gonna lie to you. When I originally started handicapping 117 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: the game, I was gonna take the Cleveland Browns. The 118 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: more I dove down the rabbit hole, I went the 119 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: other way and I flip flop. So I'm taking the Saints. 120 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: The pick is on the Saints. And here's why I 121 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: flip flop. Cleveland is absolutely feeling it. You've got Nick 122 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: Chubb who's got a bad foot, defensive tackle Miles Garrett 123 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: who's been sick, both listed as questionable for this game. 124 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: You've also got Jadevion Clowney and you're old guy A 125 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: Marie Cooper from the Raiders there who are also on 126 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: the injured list. So you are down some major tanks 127 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: and some major torpedoes here. And while the Saints blow, 128 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: they still have a shot to win the division and 129 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. At five at night, it makes no sense. 130 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: It's illogical. It's gonna be an ugly game, god awful game, 131 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: terrible game, blah blah blah blah blah, but I love 132 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: getting some points. This will be a field goal game, 133 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: so the most likely outcome is a field goal difference here. 134 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: So if the Saints win, you obviously win the money, 135 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: but if the Browns win by a field goal, you 136 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: get your money back. Saint's nineteen Brown sixteen the final. 137 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: The penny is going the other direction, taking the Browns, 138 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: and we move on on Benny versus the penny man 139 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: versus an adamant object. As we handicap every game. We're 140 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: doing this for years. Tell a friend Detroit seven and 141 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: seven and they take on Carolina five and nine. It's 142 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: on Fox with Fox Sports Radio alumnus Chris Myers and 143 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: Robert Smith. They have the call. The Lions opened up 144 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: a two and a half point favorite, and they are 145 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: favored by three on the road. Detroit a road favorite, 146 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: and many people think this is a free money game. 147 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: Just been on Detroit, your guarantee you'd win. In downtown Charlotte, 148 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: Sonny and thirty degrees at kickoff at Bank of America 149 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: Stadium where our friend black Steve the Second, we'll be 150 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: watching on TV unless he's not so. The Lions are 151 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 1: seven and oh. Their last seven games against the spread, 152 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: they have been a wagon and I believe that stops here. 153 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Panthers in this game, and the 154 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: main analysis. I'm gonna keep it simple here. I love 155 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: the Lions. I think the Lions are great. I hope 156 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: I'm wrong on this. I hope the Lions win the 157 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: game by three touchdowns. But I simply do not trust 158 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: Jared Goff. You know why, Danny, I saw this guy 159 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: with the rams and cold weather. He gets into the 160 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: fetal position, and he starts, he sucks his thumb. He's 161 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: Frosty the Snowman at quarterback and it ain't good. Five 162 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: and nine against the spread and cold weather games, and 163 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: many of those games have been completely lopsided with no 164 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: offense from Jared Golf, and I just can't get that 165 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: out of my mind. Maybe maybe it's different now he's 166 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: in Detroit and all that stuff, But until I see 167 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 1: this guy go out in a cold weather game and 168 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: play well, I'm on the other side here. I simply 169 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: do not trust Jared Golf. I like the Lions defense, 170 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: and I know Sam Donald's a mistake prone ballplayer and 171 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: all that, but man, oh man, do I think this 172 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: is going to be an ugly game, cold weather game? 173 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: The Panthers are coming off a loss to the Steelers 174 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: last week. They can run the ball, uh and they're 175 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: gonna have to because of Sam Donald. And I hope 176 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm wrong on this, but the Panthers twenty and the 177 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions seventeen will be the final. And the penny says, 178 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 1: too bad, your rams don't have any picks left to 179 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: trade to get Golf back. Ben going with the Lions. 180 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: I think they're good on that. The only way golf 181 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: comes back is if if Sean McVeigh is doing TV, 182 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: or if he's a he's the Grand Pool Ball on 183 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, maybe they'll they'll bring golf back, all right? 184 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: Next up, that is the game I'm interested in, not 185 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: that I'm not interested in these other games, but what 186 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: a matchup. You got Cincinnati ten and four at New 187 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: England seven and seven. The team you just saw last 188 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: week Danny the Patriots on CBS, Iron Eagle and Charles 189 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: Davis have the call and the ben Gals. The worm 190 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: has turned Cincinnati favored in New England. Holy Tom Brady 191 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: Batman the Bengals at three point favor They opened at that. 192 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: The line has stayed the same at three and another 193 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: one of these games. Everyone's loading up on Cincinnati. They 194 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: think this is easy money, cold weather game. That's what 195 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: you get in late December at Gillette Stadium, sunny and 196 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: thirty four degrees at kickoff. And the Bengals, how about 197 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: this Joe Burrow last twenty five games, they've been a 198 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: root and twot in success with Joe Burrow twenty and 199 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: five against the spread in the last twenty five starts 200 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: for Burrow. But I'm gonna take the Patriots in this game. 201 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: I love the Pats as a home dog. I wish 202 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: it was three and a half. I wish it wasn't three. 203 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: I wish I was getting some more that the line 204 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 1: had gone up to three and a half. It's back 205 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,319 Speaker 1: down to three, but I'm taking the Patriots. No time 206 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: for a ah we suck hangover after the Patriots absolutely 207 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: blew it. The most bone headed playoff's seen in this 208 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: era of the NFL. So New England's gotta shake it 209 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: off and they've they've got to play with desperation. They 210 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: went out there likely a playoff team. They lose one 211 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: of these games and that's it. So it's last chest, 212 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: last chance saloon for the Patriots to go up, up 213 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: and away and and make the playoffs. Three tough games. 214 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: It starts with this game. New England's defense is the 215 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: real deal here, and that's really the basis of my wager. 216 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and dance or round on 217 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: Mac Jones. I think he sucks, but the defense is 218 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: good and Joe Burrow can be rattled, and Bill Belichick 219 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: is a ninja with mind games and all that. A 220 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: Jedi mind trick here Burrow has been playing great. The 221 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: turnover bug is lurking though in the weeds. Patriots is 222 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: a home dog a wise play there ten and five 223 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: against the spread. Their last fifteen is a home doog. 224 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: I'll take Belichick and the theme is a nineteen seventies 225 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: discos theme, Danny Staying Alive, Staying Alive. I'll take the 226 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: Patriots twenty six and the Bengals twenty three, and the 227 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: Penny says that that stiff arm has scarred Mac Jones 228 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: for life with the Bengals. God was that? Oh my god? 229 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: And I know we'll talk about on a Saturday podcast, 230 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: but holy Connoli, Oh my god, Jez ran over. I'm 231 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: like like a little sister. It was. It was abusive. 232 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: If you're just tuning in, I don't know how you 233 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: would just be tuning in. You probably had to listen 234 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: to all the other bullcrap until we got to this point. 235 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: But I should have mentioned the beginning. If you're new 236 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: to the Betty Versus the Penny bit, the home team 237 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: is heads Danny. The road team is tells you're the 238 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: flipper of the Penny because you traveled by planes trans 239 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: and automobiles and and so that's why we do road 240 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: team tales. And you sit on your took us in 241 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: the home team, you use your head. Okay, simple right, yes, 242 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: correct a bundo. Alright. We move on now to sweet 243 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: home Chicago. What a great city of family in Chicago 244 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: and Buffalo. The Bills Mafia, they are arriving. They actually 245 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: roll arrived earlier, a couple of days earlier because of 246 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: the weather in Buffalo. But the Bills eleven and three. 247 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: And if you're dyslexic, this is the perfect matchup because 248 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: Chicago is three and eleven and it's on CBS with 249 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: Greg Gumble and Adam arch Aletta. The Bills a opened 250 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: up a ten point favorite, but wonders will never see 251 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: says they're lying down to eight. Buffalo is still favored 252 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 1: by eight and mostly cloudy. The temperature will be five 253 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: degrees at kickoff at Soldier Field. The wind chill will 254 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: be below freezing, you know, way below. It's actually below 255 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: freezing at kickoff. It's gonna below zero. That's what I'm 256 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: trying to say. If the man could talk, hat Soldier Field. 257 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: Bills have not been great lately with Josh Allen two 258 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: and five against the spread their last seven, so they've 259 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: been unable to meet expectations with the gambling market as 260 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: they stamp around on the field. And the Bears quietly 261 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: over their last seven games, not that they're winning many 262 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: of these games with five and two against the spread, 263 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: so they've been able to outproduce the gambling market. And 264 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: I believe that happens again here. I'm gonna take Chicago, 265 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: Oh yee, a little faith in Buffalo. This is a 266 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: sandwich game for the Bills. They're coming off a key 267 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: divisional prime time matchup with the Dolphin last Saturday. They 268 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: have the ben Gals in an a f C hierarchy 269 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: showdown in since coming up on a Monday night in 270 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: week seventeen. So I don't sense much of an edge 271 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: here in this game, and Buffalo will likely jump out 272 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: to an early lead. They've got a couple of starting 273 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: lineman that are injured. Justin Fields is always a backdoor 274 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: cover possibility. He can bake up a storm. He did 275 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: it last week Danny in Philadelphia or in Chicago's just 276 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: against Philadelphia, the Eagles were covering the number, big number, 277 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: and you've got a late touchdown by Justin Fields and 278 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: a backdoor cover, the dreaded backdoor cover if you better favorite. 279 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: And the Bears are a bunch of average joes, but 280 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: I believe they will make enough second half place. The 281 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: hoodwink the points bread, So I'm taking the Bills to win, 282 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,440 Speaker 1: but the Bears to get the back door cover. Bills 283 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: twenty four, Bears seventeen, and the frigid monsters in the 284 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: Midway Home Stadium. In the Penny lands on heads. That 285 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: means cheating off your paper taking Chicago did again, lollygagging around. 286 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 1: Bad job by the penny. I don't blame the penny. 287 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,919 Speaker 1: Looking at the records overall, I don't blame the penny. 288 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: The penny has sucked balls, Danny this year. It has 289 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: not been good, all right. Next up Houston one, twelve 290 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: and one at Tennessee seven and seven on CBS with 291 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: Andrew Catalan and James Lofton. The Titans opened up a 292 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: nine point favorite, and they are favored by only three. 293 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,479 Speaker 1: And we'll tell you why that line change in a minute. 294 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,879 Speaker 1: Most people betting on the Titans in this game at 295 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:48,119 Speaker 1: Nissan Stadium in downtown Nashville, the house that Clay Travis built, 296 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: Although they're getting a new stadium. So so that'll be 297 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: the house that he built. But our man Clay Fox 298 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,919 Speaker 1: Sports Radio and miss and the guy that Danny worked with, 299 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: he Clay spent a lot of money on Titans tickets 300 00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: over the years. Yes, he's not getting those for free 301 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: as he's paying for those. Yeah, that that ain't cheap. 302 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: Uh So listen, I'm gonna take the texts in this game. 303 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: The reason we've seen the line change if you have 304 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,119 Speaker 1: not been paying attention, if you're out hanging out with 305 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: country bumpkins Houston. Uh they've they've they've shown some fighting. 306 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: Now everyone's waiting for the bottom to fall out here 307 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: for Lovey Smith. Last two weeks against supposed powerhouse teams 308 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: in the Chiefs and Cowboys, they have been nail biers. 309 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: Overtime game with k C last week. Cowboys games should 310 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 1: have been you know, should have could have would have 311 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: gone to Houston. They blew it in the end. I 312 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 1: like to grind I expect more of that from Davis 313 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: Mills and the c squad, mainly because the Titans are 314 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: the thirty second ranked past defense, so the worst in 315 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: the NFL. So there's gonna be some yards to be 316 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: had there for Davis Mills. He had a backbreaking fumble 317 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,160 Speaker 1: in overtime. He also had three touchdowns his first three 318 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: touchdown game against Kansas City last week. The Titans, though 319 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: the reason the line changed they do not have Ryan 320 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: Tannehill and he will I'll be playing, you know, likely 321 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: the rest of the year. Here. Pat Ankle done for 322 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: the season, and that means Malik Willis, who bangs in 323 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: the wind, who's not ready for prime time, is back 324 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: under center. So it's all about Derrick Henry and no 325 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: one else down. Willis started the game when these teams 326 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: played earlier this year and attempted ten passes the entire game. 327 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 1: Part of the reason is because Derrick Henry ran for 328 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: over two hundred yards in that game. Now, if that 329 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: happens here, obviously the Titans win this game easily. But 330 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: the way Tennessee is playing, with all the injuries they 331 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: lead the NFL and injuries, I just don't sense that 332 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: that's gonna go the way it went before. The sequel 333 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: will not be the equal, and I will take the 334 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: Texans to upset the Titans. Holy crap, Texas twenty and 335 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 1: the Titans sixteen. The final and the penny says what 336 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,400 Speaker 1: you're talking about Willis like that for going with the Titans. 337 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: Oh man, Malik Willis has not shown anything. I mean, 338 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: I feel bad for the guy. They were hyping him 339 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: up in the preseason, Danny, and he has been absolute stiff. 340 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: Hopefully he shows something here. He looked great a liberty. 341 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: He's he had liberty anymore. Right here, You're not at 342 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: liberty anymore. Uh. He's like, I know, but you gotta 343 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: you gotta show me something, you know, as as Sherry 344 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: Glamville taught me when I was a little boy, Danny, 345 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: the NFL is not for long. If you play like that, 346 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: then congratulations. All right. Next up Seattle at Kansas City, 347 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: the Seahawks circling the wagons. What has gone on there? 348 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: Seven and seven? Kansas City, eleven and three. It's on Fox, 349 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: Kevin Coogler and Mark Sanchez. The Chiefs opened up a 350 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: nine and a half point favorite. They're favored by ten 351 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: in this game. And I will have multiple friends that 352 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: will be an Arrowhead Stadium, my radio friends I go 353 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: on there, going on with him every third day. Bob 354 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: and Josh will be on the feet, one will be 355 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: on the field during the sidelines. He's gonna freeze his 356 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: ass off. Josh Clingler and my friend Bob will be 357 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: in a luxury box, so he will be fine. He's 358 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: a big morning guy. Uh. Everyone's been on Kansas City 359 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: this game. Three degrees mostly sunny, three degrees that kick 360 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,639 Speaker 1: off at Arrowhead, a chamber of commerce type of day, 361 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: and I am gonna go against the grain on this 362 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: one a bit. Kansas City has blown the last couple 363 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: of games, is big favorites. I'm gonna take the Chiefs though. 364 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: I think this is the week they put it all 365 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: together here and they say addio s muchachos to the 366 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. Kansas City has failed against the Texas le 367 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 1: Broncos back to back to come. Remember that that big 368 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: lead against Lebroncos twenty seven to nothing or something like that, 369 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 1: and they blew it in that game. Last week they 370 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: had to go to overtime against Houston. So I expect 371 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: a blowout City over a ragged Seattle team that has 372 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: no defense. They also don't have Tyler Lockett. Not expect 373 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: to play bad hand he had surgery and Kenneth Walker 374 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: at the time we're doing this podcast. Danny, He's got 375 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: a bad ankle. He has not been able to practice 376 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: all week long. And so you've got Geno Smith roaming 377 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: around throwing the ball to himself. Good luck. Uh, this 378 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 1: just has a blowout city all over it. Patrick Mahomes 379 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: fattening up his stats. Chiefs thirty three and the Seahawks seventeen. 380 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: And I very rarely lay the big number, Danny. So 381 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: this is a rare exception to one of my one 382 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 1: of my rules. The penny wants to take advantage of 383 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: that landing on tails band. That means thinking it can 384 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: make up some ground on you by going with the Seahawks. Alright, 385 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: good luck on that. Normally I would take Seattle, but 386 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 1: I saw the injury chart and I just think this 387 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: is a cold weather Seattle is just gonna gonna freeze 388 00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: over there in the conditions where it's like Siberia. All right. 389 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: Next up Atlanta five and nine at Baltimore nine and five. 390 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: It's on Fox. The pitch perfect. Kenny Albert and Jonathan 391 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: Filma have the call. Ravens opened up a six and 392 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: ap point favored. They are favored by seven eighty five 393 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 1: per cent of the wagers on Baltimore. The numbers we 394 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: have at M ANDT Bank Stadium in the House that 395 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 1: Sports with Coleman Build and Greg the realtor in Baltimore. 396 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: So the weather is gonna be frightful. The Falcons quarterback 397 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: is frightful. But I'm taking at Lanta anyway. I'm going 398 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: crazy here, Danny j I'm taking the Falcons. And here's why, 399 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 1: uh Lamar Jackson bad me. Doesn't look like he's gonna play. 400 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: He missed his eighth straight practice the other day and 401 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: I don't think he's practiced at all here. So well, 402 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: you've got him out wide receiver Devin Dubern a bad foot. 403 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: He gone, things are so bad? How bad are they? 404 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: And it's so bad in Baltimore. The Poets, the dead 405 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: Poets have turned to Sammy Watkins as the guiding light 406 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: at receiver. They picked him off, picked him up off 407 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: the waiver wire, your boy from the Rams. He's used 408 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: my phone, Danny, he has used the mallophone. But he 409 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: has been miserable in Green Bay. The Ravens, also their 410 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: backup quarterback, was checking this out on the injury report. 411 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley added to the injury report midweek with the 412 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,239 Speaker 1: right shoulder injury. If he's unable to play or if 413 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: he gets knocked out of this game somebody named Anthony Brown. 414 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: I'd rather have Charlie Brown is going to be the quarterback. 415 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: Now the Falcons have nothing either at the quarterback, so 416 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,719 Speaker 1: this isn't actually an even matchup because the Falcons quarterback 417 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter, Holy crap, uh man uh he they said 418 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: he wasn't scared of a moment. That was what the 419 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons were saying. Well, he might have been scared 420 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,199 Speaker 1: of the moment, but he played like a salad, a 421 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: tird salad against the Saints. Now I didn't have Atlanta, 422 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: and I won that bet because of a late touchdown 423 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: on the back door cover. But no passing game. This 424 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: game is going to be uh uh late with the 425 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: Capital you and I just can't lay that many points 426 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: with the Ravens. They've got a better defense than the Falcons, 427 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: They've got the running game. They should be able to 428 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: rotate running running backs in. But this is too many points. 429 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: I'm stubborn. Ravens sixteen, Falcons twelve the final and the 430 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: penny says Sammy Watkins is gonna have to t d 431 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: s going with the Ravens. All right, we'll ring the 432 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: bell next late games, late games now on the Saturday card, 433 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 1: Washington seven, six and one at San Francisco. Of course, 434 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: they'll be played in Santa Clara ten and four on 435 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: CBS with Kevin Harlan and Trent Green. They have the call. 436 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 1: The Niners opened a six point favorite. They are favored 437 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: by seven and another one of these games. Everyone loading 438 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: up on the forty Niners free money game. Fill up 439 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: your bank account, fill up your four oh one k. 440 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: Here you go. And I've learned over the years that 441 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: is generally the wrong way. When everyone's going one direction, 442 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: you gotta go the other direction. It's a horror of 443 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 1: horrors if you go with a mob at Levi's Stadium, 444 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: mild temperatures in Santa Clara's sixty degrees at kickoff. I'm 445 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: taking Washington in this game. They will siphon off a victory. 446 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: The Commandos under Ron Rivera have been a very good 447 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: West Coast team actually prior to Ron Rivera also seven 448 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: one in two their last ten games against the spread 449 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: when they've had to travel from the East Coast to 450 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,159 Speaker 1: the West Coast over two thousand miles of travel, So 451 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: they've been a great team far away from their homestead 452 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: in land Over Maryland, and even with last week's tobacco 453 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: against the I asked some questionable officiating at the end 454 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: of that game. The Commanders are five and two against 455 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: the spread with Taylor Heineke, and I like brock Purty. 456 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: He's been very good. Magic carpet ride has continued for him. 457 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: It did last week. He's actually the second ranked quarterback 458 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 1: in the league behind Trevor Lawrence since he took over 459 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: over the last three weeks. But dinged up still expected 460 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 1: to play this game, and I have a hunch on 461 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 1: this the Commander's defense will be the top unit that 462 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: brock Purty's played even in these games. It's not like 463 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: it's not like the forty Niners have been, you know, 464 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: completely running from from beginning to end their offense without 465 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: any kind of of of hiccups here, So I listen 466 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: to the Washington defense is pretty good. I think this 467 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 1: point spreads just too inflated. The value, the point spread 468 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: value is on the side of the Commanders and they 469 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: are playing for their playoff lives. The Niners have already 470 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: wrapped up a playoff birth. They're playing for seating the Commanders. 471 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: If they want to get in the playoffs, they gotta 472 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: pull an upset here. They will not actually win the game. 473 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: But if you've been on Washington with the points, you'll 474 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 1: be on the right side of it, because as the 475 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: forty Niners went at sixteen over the Commanders and the 476 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: Pennies going the other direction taking the forty Niners. Alright, 477 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: we move on to the final game on the late portion, 478 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 1: late portion of the television window on Saturday. That's Philadelphia 479 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: and Dallas. Philadelphia thirteen and one, Dallas ten and four. 480 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: It's on Fox with Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen at 481 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: the wheel. That's the eight team. Why is why is 482 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 1: the eight team doing this game? It's a it's a 483 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: good game and be it's the Cowboys and the Cowboys. 484 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: That's guaranteed to be the top rated game this weekend 485 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and everyone in TV knows it, and 486 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: so it's a boon for TV people. Cowboys opened up 487 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: a one point favorite. They are favored by five in 488 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: this game, and most people betting on Dallas at a 489 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: t n T stadium. Jerry's World sunny in thirty degrees 490 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: at kickoff, and I'm want to take the Eagles in 491 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: this game. I know Jalen Hurts is out. That's why 492 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: the line movie he's got a bump shoulder. He's expected 493 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: to mistance game. At the time we are doing Benny 494 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: versus the Penny Gardner Minshoe midshoe mania, he takes over 495 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: and I have a case of Minshew mania. This guy 496 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: should be starting for some crap team like the Texans 497 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: or maybe the Titans next year. But I expect the 498 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: Eagles offense to be clicking even without Jalen Hurst. The 499 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense, their stats are inflated. We saw them absolutely 500 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: proved to be frauds when they lost their way in 501 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: Jacksonville last week. Blew that big lead, couldn't get it done. 502 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 1: Watching them try to stop Trevor Lawrence was as effective 503 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: as as milking a bull late in that game. And 504 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: if you look at the Cowboy offens last month or so, 505 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: they're twenty three at stopping the past and they're actually 506 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: worse than the Texans and the l A Rams. The 507 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 1: spread on this game is out of whack, Eagles thirty 508 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys the final, and the Penny landing on 509 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: heads for the third time in a row. Going with 510 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 1: the home team. The Cowboys alright, A lot of favorites. 511 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,479 Speaker 1: When you when you land on that side of the penny, 512 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: the best laid plans of mice men and pennies. Next 513 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: up the final game on Christmas Eve on Saturday, and 514 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 1: that is in Pittsburgh, Hey A and Las Vegas, Vegas, Vegas, 515 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: Vegas six and eight in Pittsburgh. Also six and eightis 516 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: on the NFL network. Rich Eisen and Kurt Warner will 517 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: have the call for something. They should have called you, Danny. 518 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: You could have been the third man in the booth 519 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: there with Warner right, you would have traveled the pits. 520 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: But when your wife have allowed you to travel the 521 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh for that game, Yeah, yeah, you could have done 522 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: the game. You're doing very eloquent in the broadcast. We've 523 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: but the Raiders getting most of the money here. Steelers 524 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: a two and a half point favorite. They opened it 525 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: one and a half and another frigid night of football. 526 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: It's a fun time of the year if you like 527 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: cold weather games. Sixty uh said money on the Raiders. 528 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: But the forecast here ten degrees. That kick off at 529 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: the former Hinz Field, which now is named after some 530 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: kind of insurance company. The Raiders have done very well 531 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 1: against the Steelers with Mike Tomlin last seven games. The 532 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: Raiders are six and one against the spread against the 533 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin Steelers. But that's the good news the bad news. 534 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: It's a vicious cycle. And the Raiders are three and 535 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: twelve against the spread their last fifteen games against teams 536 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: that have a losing record like the Steelers. And we 537 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier how great Washington has been when they go 538 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: from east coast to west. So the opposite that would 539 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: be the Raiders when they travel from the friendly confines 540 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: of lost wages Nevada and travel more Thans or more there. 541 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 1: Two and eight against the spread their last ten and 542 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: I want to take the Steelers in this game, very 543 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,479 Speaker 1: similar to my logic on Jared Goff. I don't trust 544 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: Derek Carr in cold weather. I don't think he's going 545 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: to handle this very well. I do love t J. 546 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: Watt and that Steeler defense, And not that I'm a 547 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 1: big emotion guy when it comes to betting on NFL games, 548 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be quite the scene. As they were 549 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: honoring the immaculate reception and Frank o'harris just passed away 550 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: unexpectedly a few days ago. It's gonna be a madhouse. 551 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 1: There the the raw emotion in favor of Pittsburgh, but 552 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: that'll wear off once the game kicks off. I just 553 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: trust the Steelers defense. They are a top ten defense 554 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: with t J. Watt, and we know that your guy 555 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: Derek Carr does not handle that well. And the cold 556 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: weather on top of it. Steelers twenty three and the 557 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 1: Raiders the final and the penny learned from last week, 558 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:13,719 Speaker 1: but you didn't going with the Raiders. Remember John Madden 559 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: took it to his grave saying that ball was on 560 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: the ground. Yeah, well I'll find it. What are you 561 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: planning a special party for this game, Danny? Are you 562 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: any kind of It's It's a holiday, so you gotta 563 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: be with family. I would think Christmas. I'm gonna find 564 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 1: a way to watch this game band no matter where 565 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: I'm at, no matter what family is doing, this game 566 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: will either be on my phone or on the big screen. 567 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: If you need me to send you a link, I 568 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: might know a guy that has a link. So if 569 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,640 Speaker 1: you want to let me know and I might be 570 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: able to hook you up. I know a guy who 571 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: knows a guy who knows that a Russian guy, Russian, Ukrainian, 572 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,200 Speaker 1: maybe some island just north of Australia. I don't know, 573 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: say Nooniesia, you know somewhere I don't who knows? All right, 574 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: Next up, let's get to the Sunday part of the card, 575 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: and only a few games on Sunday as these are 576 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: showcased games. The Green Bay Packers six and eight at 577 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: Miami eight and six. It's on Fox on Christmas Day. 578 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: Joe Davis and Darryl moose Johnson have the call. The 579 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,520 Speaker 1: Dolphins opened a three and a point favorite. They're favored 580 00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,879 Speaker 1: by three and a half. Still a lot of money 581 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 1: on the Packers in this game at hard Rock Stadium. 582 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 1: Mostly cloudy and uh temperatures will be mild in Miami 583 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 1: by Miami standards for this game. But I'm gonna take 584 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: the Packers. I'm gonna take the Packers in this game. 585 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: Miami returns home three game skid to a tongue of 586 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: my Lord and forget about winning the m v P Award. 587 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 1: He's the twenty fourth ranked quarterback over the last month, 588 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: behind Kenny Pickett and Zack Wilson. Neither one of them 589 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: has been all that good either. The Dolphins defense, though, 590 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 1: that's the main reason to like the cheese heads. In 591 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,800 Speaker 1: this game, the defense has struggled to stop the passing 592 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: attack that the Packers offense should be efficient with Aaron Rodgers, 593 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: they've started to click recently. I think this line is 594 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,719 Speaker 1: a little too high. You're getting the hook there with 595 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers the three and a half and 596 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: I always love that, and the Packers they gotta win 597 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,160 Speaker 1: out Austin their only These teams are not dead yet, 598 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: but they're on life support and they're about to have 599 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: the last supper if their fortune does not change, and 600 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 1: they're gonna go down fighting purely and simply though they're 601 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: not good enough in the end, I'm taking the Packers 602 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 1: plus the points, but the Dolphins win the game thirty 603 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: seven the final and the penny lands on tails for 604 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 1: the second time in a row. Going with the Packers 605 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:46,080 Speaker 1: al right. Next up a game that has no redeeming 606 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: value at all other than from a gambling standpoint, Danny. 607 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: That would be the Denver l a matchup Denver four 608 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: in ten the Rams four and ten. It's on CBS 609 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,319 Speaker 1: with essentially on Nickelodeon as well as one of those 610 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 1: Nickelodeon games where Iron Eagle, Oh yeah, you're gonna get 611 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 1: slimed if you score a touchdown. Yeah, yeah, I and 612 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 1: Eagle the son of the Great, his father who's been 613 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: amazing here, Nate Burlson. They also they have the call 614 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: there on Eagle the Clipper. Yeah, I believe right. So 615 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: is that there's his kid? Right? Uh So? Anyway, Uh, 616 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: the Rams, this game open to picking. The Rams are 617 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: a one point favorite, and we're gonna rock and roll 618 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 1: with the Broncos. It's so far stadium. I'm not betting 619 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: on the Rams. You're kidding me. Uh. The reason behind 620 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: me betting against the Rams, Baker Mayfield was back to 621 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: being the Duke of Puke in the Monday night football game. 622 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: And I know the weather is gonna better, and Baker 623 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: is usually okay in good weather. Uh. He goes against though, 624 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,360 Speaker 1: the star of the show and that is the Broncos defense. 625 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: They are the only elite unit in this game. The 626 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: Rams offense not elite. The Rams defense without Aaron Donald 627 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 1: not elite special teams. No, the Rams are playing a 628 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: bunch of lift drivers and Uber Eats delivery guys in 629 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: their defense. It's it's an absolute mess. I expect multiple 630 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: turnovers from from Baker Mayfield that offensive line for the 631 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: Rams is all messed up, and not that it's gonna 632 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:19,200 Speaker 1: lead to a massive wind, but as you said, the 633 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: Rams will end up covered in slime and good heavens. 634 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: But Russell Wilson, who has expected to play in this 635 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,600 Speaker 1: game back in the wind com Broncos twenty and the 636 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 1: Rams sixteen the final and the Penny says the Rams 637 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: should get slimed a lot because they'll be in the 638 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 1: end zone more than the Broncoes. Kenny says, shame on, 639 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: you bend your ms. Listen. Maybe maybe I'll be wrong. 640 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 1: This would be the week that all all goes to 641 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 1: hell right here, and I'll be crying like a baby. 642 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 1: Next up, Sunday Night football, Tampa Bay six and eight 643 00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 1: at Arizona four and ten. It's on and be see 644 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: the Peacock with Mike Dirico and Chris Collinsworth as the 645 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: Buccaneers opened up a three point favorite there favored by 646 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: seven and a half in this game and a lot 647 00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 1: of the money coming on Tampa Bay at State Farm Stadium. 648 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: And this is one of those games where I will 649 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 1: cover my eyes, I will try not to puke in 650 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: my mouth, but I am gonna take the Tampa Bay 651 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,400 Speaker 1: Buccaneers in this game. I will lay the massive number. 652 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: The Bucks have been an absolute dog food team. I 653 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 1: realized that. But they have met their equal in the 654 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Colt McCoy the backup concussion. He's likely out 655 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. That means someone named 656 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: Trace McSorley, yeah, is getting tossed into the incinerator. I 657 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:52,680 Speaker 1: would rather have Marty McSorley as my quarterback. This guy 658 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 1: is a Mama luke. He's an absolute bum dog with 659 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: fleas however you want to say it. Uh. And I 660 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 1: expect the Buccaneers defense to flour ish. I would be 661 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: surprised if the Cardinals do anything at all on offense 662 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 1: for most of this game. And Tom Brady had a 663 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: great first half against the Bengals last week and then 664 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: had those turnovers all and the Cardinals defense is not 665 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,920 Speaker 1: that great. Injury ravage Cardinals secondary. Let may be this. 666 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,280 Speaker 1: Let me be be very clear here, Nay. If Tampa 667 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 1: does not win this game by ten or more points minimum, 668 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,239 Speaker 1: if I own the Bucks, I fired Todd Bowls on 669 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,879 Speaker 1: Christmas night at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. That's how 670 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 1: big a disparity there is between trace McSorley and the 671 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 1: Buccaneer defense Buccaneers twenty three and the Cardinals thirteen. The 672 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:48,799 Speaker 1: final and the Penny says, I may be made out 673 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: of fake copper nowadays, but let's keep it real. The 674 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: Bucks are the easy winner here, all right. So we 675 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 1: agree on that. Now we get to the final game, 676 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: the final game this Christmas weekend of Benny versus the Penny, 677 00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: the soft underbelly of the NFL that would be in Indianapolis. 678 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: You're talking about opportunity for the Chargers. This is like 679 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: one of those games you show up, you're collected. When 680 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 1: Chargers eight and six Indianapolis four nine and one is 681 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: on ESPN Slash ABC with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. 682 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 1: The line Chargers open up a two and apt point favorite. 683 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 1: This speaks volumes to where the Colts are. The Chargers 684 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: are a five point favorite, five point favorite in this 685 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: game of the money on the Chargers at Lucas Oil Stadium. 686 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: It's a dome, which is a good thing because it's 687 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 1: gonna be cloudy and twenty one degrees outside at kickoff. 688 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm taking the Colts. I'm shooting for the mode. I'm 689 00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: taking the Colts in this game. And let me explain why, 690 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,760 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, twenty games in his career as a favorite 691 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 1: of three or more, seven and thirteen against the spread 692 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: in that spot, Indianapolis did lose Jonathan Taylor for the 693 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 1: seas in, so they got a bunch of second rate backups. 694 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: Zack Moss and Dion Jackson will carry the running backload 695 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: and Matt Ryan bench hey Gon sent to the Principal's 696 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,760 Speaker 1: office the penalty box. And so we have Nick Foles, 697 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,600 Speaker 1: remember him, He's back starting Nick Foles, who, yeah, yeah, 698 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,880 Speaker 1: he did something a couple of years ago in the playoffs. 699 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 1: I forget what, but a generic brand quarterback. He will 700 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 1: not make as many mistakes as Matt Ryan, who was 701 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 1: always on dangerous ground. And that little thought bubble above 702 00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 1: my head here, I just don't trust the Chargers. The 703 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: Chargers are like a chocolate Christmas Santa that you expect 704 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:44,040 Speaker 1: to be rock solid milk chocolate, and it's actually hollow. 705 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,400 Speaker 1: And I just don't trust them. They're they're able to 706 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,759 Speaker 1: to move the ball with a passing attack and all that, 707 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,359 Speaker 1: but Justin Herbert, when you expect the Charges to do well, 708 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 1: they don't. When you don't expect him to do much. 709 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: They do pretty well, and this is too many points here. 710 00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 1: Even with all of the issues that the Colts have, 711 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 1: including playing like gutless pukes last week against the Vikings 712 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: in the second half, Chargers will not cover the spread 713 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 1: Chargers twenty six, Colts three, the final and the perfect 714 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 1: ending here as the Penny is going with the Chargers, 715 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,759 Speaker 1: all right, So we disagree on that. And that is 716 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: every game all weekend long on Saturday and Sunday on 717 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,840 Speaker 1: this Christmas weekend Hanukka Weekend edition of Benny Versus the Penny. 718 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:44,799 Speaker 1: So good luck. Remember money management, Danny. You don't want 719 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 1: to get crazy here. Pick your spots. Don't bet every game, 720 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: but pick the ones you like and good luck. Right, 721 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 1: see see how you do. See if you can out 722 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,839 Speaker 1: fox the wise guys. But now you just can't leave. 723 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:59,360 Speaker 1: We listen. Have a great weekend.
