Speaker 1: at the same time that we're kind of breaking down

24
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: the game, so it's kind of real time. I mean,

25
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: that's uh, the hour goes by so fast, so as

26
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to break down the games and and move

27
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: lines at the same time, it's, uh, it's a great hour.

28
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: It is a great hour. I've usually got my uh

29
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: ODDS screen up. I've got the odd screen that I

30
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: use sports Insights dot Action network dot com. Sports Insights

31
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: is like what you get if you're at the highest

32
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: level of subscription for Action Network, and this screen is

33
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: basically like a real time trading terminal that Wall Street

34
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: traders would use when they're examining the markets. Only I'm

35
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: seeing every line and I'm seeing how much money is

36
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: coming in on each game, and it lights up when

37
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: a big bet comes in, when the percentages are about

38
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: to change. I'm watching what you're doing in real time,

39
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: so you can start talking about a line change and

40
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: I see it changing, and then we get excited and

41
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: you know you're taking fifty bets and talking about why

42
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: it's moving the line. It's an amazing show. It's exactly

43
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: what I've always wanted to do. Like, honest to god,

44
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: I feel like it's the exact perfect pregame show, whether

45
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: you're interested in betting or not, just because, uh it's

46
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: an entire the new way to look at the games,

47
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: and so um go check it out. Scooch. Last night

48
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: was Monday Night football and the Patriots were playing the Jets,

49
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: and all week people have been telling me like, hey,

50
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: you gotta take the Jets. It's plus ten, that's what

51
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: the wise guys are doing. And my theory on that was,

52
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: h yeah, for sure. Tell me what happened to you?

53
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: Uh well, we we tried to stay high on it

54
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: all week long. We let the wise guys take take

55
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: the Jets for as much as, uh you knows, as

56
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: much as they wanted. Basically, we dipped down the nine

57
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: and a half a few times, but but kind of

58
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: stayed at ten. We actually put ten and a half

59
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: on our parley card and kept that up all week,

60
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: so it wasn't um, it wasn't disastrous for us. We

61
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: kind of balanced things out because of that. But kind

62
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: of the you know, the role of thumb is you

63
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: always have to take a double digit dog at home,

64
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: and the Jets kind of looked good coming off of

65
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: the win against Dallas. But we've often talked out it

66
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: is you have to throw all the rules out the

67
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: window when you talk about the Patriots. They just kind

68
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: of defy all the other sports betting rules that have

69
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: kind of been profitable over the years. And uh and

70
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: I often said, you don't make a living bet against

71
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots. You don't make a living bet against the Patriots,

72
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: especially against bad teams. I mean, I think that's the thing.

73
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: And we actually talked about this on the radio show

74
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: on Sunday. If you're going to bet the NFL, you

75
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: have to bet on bad teams. You've got a bet

76
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: on Washington plus ten. You've got a bet in the

77
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: Bengals plus four and a half. You've got a bet

78
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: in the Raiders plus five and a half. Like you've

79
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: got certain values prescribed against every team, and if those

80
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: values are out of whack according to the line that's

81
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: been posted, then you bet those numbers. And numbers are

82
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 1: always out of whack when it comes to bad teams

83
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: because bookmaker is gonna shade the team that is higher profile.

84
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: The Patriots are a different story. Like if they're playing

85
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs or whomever, it's a different conversation. But if

86
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: they're playing a bad team, they don't play down like

87
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: they don't they don't get sucked, you know, they don't

88
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: make mistakes that other teams make. They don't get lack

89
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: of daisical um. If the Patriots are playing a black

90
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: playing a bad team, bet the fucking Patriots. It's really

91
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: true because they don't know any other way of playing.

92
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: They don't change the game if they're up twenty thirty points,

93
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 1: they don't change their style of play in the fourth quarter.

94
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: They have one mode, they have kind of one method,

95
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: and they don't put that. They don't take their foot

96
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: off the gas pedal. And that's kind of why people

97
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: have loved to bet on this team over the years,

98
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: is because no matter how many points they're laying, you're

99
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: always live. Even if it's the end of the game.

100
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: And when normal teams are trying to run some clock down, uh,

101
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: they're throwing downfield and then they're going to get the cover. Well, unfortunately,

102
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: we got a little bit of time before we can

103
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: get back to the Patriots, because oh no, we got uh,

104
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: they'll play this weekend. I was looking forward on the

105
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: board and to confine it for a second. All right,

106
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: let's get to the first game on the board Thursday night.

107
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Lizzo's Minnesota Vikings are fifteen and

108
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: a half point favorites over the Washington Redskins at home. Look.

109
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: I think that the game that the Vikings played against

110
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: the Alliance was statement making. I was all over the

111
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: lines in that game. The wise guys love the Vikings.

112
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: I was scolding them. It's one of the few times

113
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. And uh, they came through and they look

114
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: amazing and one of the few teams in the NFL

115
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: tops and yards per play allowed and tops and yards

116
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: per play gained, uh, top four and both. I believe

117
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: the only team in the NFL that's true for they

118
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: are turned into a really good team that's getting a

119
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: lot of public sentiment. Am I right? Yeah? I was

120
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: actually kind of high on the Vikings earlier this year,

121
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: and they let me down a couple of times. That

122
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: game against the Bears, I I really thought that they

123
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: would That was the one that surprised me the most.

124
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: But we didn't downgrade their ranking, and I still kept

125
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: them up pretty high. Uh. Going into that Giants game,

126
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: we were high on on the vikings. And then last

127
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: week I think you and I were on different sides

128
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: of that game. I really uh favored the vikings and

129
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: were I was the first one to go to three.

130
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: If you remember, we were doing our our Sunday show

131
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: and everyone was at two and a half on the game,

132
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: and I was the first one to go to three

133
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: on the vikings because not only were we getting money,

134
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: but I also wanted to try and draw some more

135
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: Lions money on that game. And how did that work

136
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: out for you? Well, I mean we still end up

137
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: getting beep because the wise guys were on the vikings.

138
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: But I know you don't like this saying, but I

139
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: saved us money by not losing as much as we

140
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: could have. I'm sure your bosses love it. Guys, I

141
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: did so well this week. We could have lost so

142
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: much more money, But because I'm a genius, I saved us.

143
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: That's how good our bookmaker I am. Meanwhile, you did

144
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: a nice job of telling me how it went last week. Um,

145
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: can you tell me how it's going this week? Uh? Well,

146
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, the Redskins came through for US. That was

147
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: another real big game for US for US last week

148
00:07:55,320 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: against the US and barely getting the cover. There's ten points.

149
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: So here they are now they're on the road, they're

150
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: not at home. Vikings are are about the same rating

151
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: right now as as the forty Niners, maybe actually just

152
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: a half a shade higher, maybe maybe a point higher.

153
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: So the line is pretty similar, except you know that

154
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: now the Redskins are are on the road here, um,

155
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: we're getting a little bit of Redskins money from the

156
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: sharp guys. The public obviously is on the Vikings at

157
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: about a three to one ratio. Thursday night, high profile game,

158
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: it'll be just like the Monday night game where the

159
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: where the public will be all over the double digit favorite,

160
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: and we'll hope to draw a little wise guy money

161
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: from the sharps on the Redskins. We dipped it up

162
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: to sixteen just for just for a brief second or

163
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: two and took a few thousand dollars, And now fifteen

164
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: and a half looks kind of stable. Would you say

165
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: that the Vikings are you're a top rated team in

166
00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: the NFC if they are rated higher than the forty Niners. Uh,

167
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: I actually don't have the forty Niners ranked as the

168
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: highest team. I still have the Saints, uh favorite over

169
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: the uh if they play on a neutral field, I

170
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: have the Saints higher than forty Niners. So, but I

171
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: had the Vikings. UH, so forty Niners would be third

172
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: behind the Saints and Vikings. Wow, that's news right there,

173
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: we're breaking news. That that that uh breaking news. That's

174
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: that's my that's just my rankings. Well, listen, your bookmaker

175
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: of the world. So yep, you know I'm gonna gonna

176
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: follow what you're doing. Probably gonna have to bet the

177
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: Redskins though. You know why. It's why. If you're gonna

178
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 1: play in the NFL, you gotta bet bad teams. Hey,

179
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: I make a living root for bad teams. Thirty years

180
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: of rooting for bad teams. You look pretty good too,

181
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: so it must not be killing you. It's tough, you know.

182
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: The thing of it is, when you're rooting for these

183
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: bad teams. It's like, even when they're in the game,

184
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: k and they get a couple of breaks and they're

185
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: right there, they're getting seventeen points, fifteen points, and the

186
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: game's tied at halftime or something like that, there's always

187
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 1: a pick six or or a key third and long

188
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: were they have a penalty that puts the other team in,

189
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: you know, gives them new life. And you're starting to

190
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: say why why, But then you realize that that's why

191
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: they're bad teams. That these key mistakes that you said

192
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots never never make. You never see the Patriots

193
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 1: making those kind of mistakes. And if they did, uh,

194
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: you know that then you'd be able to bet against

195
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: him once in a while. Yeah, the equal number of

196
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: times last night you saw Sam Donald fading back against

197
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: the rush when Tom Brady, tom Brady was stepping up

198
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: into the pocket. That was everything that there were probably

199
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: four players where that happened. And Donald throws a pick

200
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: and tom Brady throws a completion. Yep. The little things

201
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: that make the difference. But it's your huge Seattle Atlanta.

202
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: We don't know what Matt Ryan's status is. Do you

203
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: have that game on the board right now? We do

204
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: not know, But I mean this line will be anywhere

205
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: from you know, for Seattle to six Seattle. Uh So

206
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: I mean this is we just have to wait and see,

207
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: uh what the status of Ryan is. But what you're

208
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: saying is Ryan is worth two points against the points

209
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: but it's not like he's a world beater. Yeah. I

210
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: think Shop came in and actually got their only touchdown.

211
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: But I mean it's not a huge when you when

212
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: the team is playing this bad, as bad as the

213
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: Falcons are. We've beat this drum all year about how

214
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,359
Speaker 1: how bad this team is, and and Ryan in particular,

215
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 1: and he had a nice line last week when you

216
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: said he looked like he was eighty five years old.

217
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: He did look that old when he was walking out

218
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: of the tunnel. So um, there's not a huge step

219
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: down even when you go to, you know, a backup quarterback. Here,

220
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: if Matt Ryan looks eighty five years old, Matt shab

221
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 1: looks like he's Moses. Like that's how that's how long

222
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: he's been around. I swear to god, I don't even

223
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: know how long has been playing, but I swear to God.

224
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: Like back in the ESPN the magazine days when it

225
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: was still in New York and I was an editor

226
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL group. Um, ESPN the magazine used to

227
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: have a franchise called Next where it was like predicting

228
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 1: who the next great stars were gonna be. And Matt Shop,

229
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: excuse me, had been a backup in Atlanta had played

230
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: pretty well. We were predicting that he was going to

231
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: be the next great backup to go start somewhere, and

232
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: he ended up having a pretty good run in Houston.

233
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: Uh So I think about that. That was probably two

234
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 1: thousand five, two thousand six, maybe like yeah, because I

235
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 1: remember I I remember watching Matt Shop when I was

236
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: at the start Ust and the and the Startus hotel

237
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 1: hasn't has been imploded since two thousand seven, so it

238
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: hasn't even been around for twelve years. And I remember

239
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: sitting in the office watching Matt Job. I mean, you

240
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: know what the beauty is scooch. Uh we can look

241
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: it up. He was drafted in the fourth round, the

242
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: third round of the two thousand four draft. He's thirty

243
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: eight years old. He's playing the league for like sixteen years.

244
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah yeah, But what does it say

245
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: how bad the team is if this guy comes in

246
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: and it's not that big of a step down. That's

247
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: exactly the point of this little detour here, exactly. Indianapolis

248
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: Colts five and a half points favorites over the Broncos.

249
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 1: Good God, give me the Colts. Give me the Colts

250
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 1: for your lungs. This the Broncos, do you Well, I'm

251
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: just so mad about what they did against the Chiefs

252
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: last last week on Thursday Night leg That was such

253
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: a pathetic display. And I know I'm saying this, and

254
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: I'm making the worst possible mistake. I'm making a recency

255
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: bias mistake. Like I just saw the Broncos. I lost

256
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: them to them. I lost a bet on them. Listened

257
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: to Troy Aikman. Troy Aikman get a poplectic. He doesn't

258
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: get apoplectic about anything, and he got mad. So there's

259
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: a reason for all this. Um Cults look pretty amazing though,

260
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: And I'm still glad I hold the could futures ticket,

261
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: even though I bet it with Andrew Luck. Yeah, we've

262
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: been high on the Colts, uh, you know, most of

263
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: the year, and we've talked about this and last week

264
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: and uh we really thought that that was a great

265
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: spot for for the Colts and and they and they

266
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: won that game against Houston easily. Uh this in this situation,

267
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: we talk about recency uh bias. We know that the

268
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: public seeing that game against Houston last week is gonna

269
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: love the Colts. So we opened them slightly on the

270
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: high side at six and a half and Siday, it's

271
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: been all sharp money on the Broncos since then. We

272
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: immediately went to six. I know some places are going

273
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: as low as five and a half on this one.

274
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: We're getting some some money on the Broncos, even a

275
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: plus six, but it's all it's just sharp money. The

276
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: ticket acount is about all amost almost tend to one

277
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: Colts to Broncos right now. So we know that this

278
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: is gonna be one of the biggest public games on

279
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,479
Speaker 1: the board. Uh. And you know, none of the recreational

280
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: betters will be on the Broncos. But the line has

281
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: come down. So it's one of those games where the

282
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: line is, you know, going opposite of the way that

283
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: the ticket count indicates that it should go. Gotta beat

284
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: bad teams, you can really do. That's the theme here, right,

285
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: Just got a bad bad teams. Yep, that's it. Hold

286
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: your nose. I mean, look at the end. I don't know,

287
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: it depends on when I finally decided to pull the trigger.

288
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: I might just keep waiting for this thing to come

289
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: down and try to get the Colts as good a

290
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: number as I possibly can. Who knows well it will

291
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: go down? I mean a matter of fact, I could

292
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: probably see this line going down as low as four

293
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: and a half. That guy that line gets to four

294
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 1: and a half, I am pulling the trigger on the Colts,

295
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: so Fat asked, I'm taking all your money and beedding

296
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: it on the Cults. Wow, okay, let's go. Yeah, Well,

297
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: I feel strong way about this team. Arizona is a

298
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: nine and a half point underdog to the number one

299
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: ranked in the NFC, according to Bob Scucci New Orleans

300
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: Saints Teddy covers. So, actually we got to look and

301
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: see if Drew Brees is gonna it's gonna be playing

302
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: in this game. Could this be the week? This could

303
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: be the week he makes to come back. Um, he

304
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: has been kind of kind of cleared. He's he's been

305
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: upgraded to probable or actually questionable. He's not probable, but

306
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: he's been up upgraded two questionable from doubtful. So there

307
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: is a slight chance that they bring him back this game. So, um,

308
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: we're just gonna have to keep an eye on that one.

309
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: But but yeah, God, Saints are looking good. Uh and

310
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: they're just rolling along. I mean, the defense was playing

311
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: well and with or without Breeze, they're they're number one team.

312
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: This is how much God is on Tom Brady's side.

313
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: Drew Brees was on the path to become the career

314
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: touchdown passing touchdown leader. He was a little bit ahead

315
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: of of Tom Brady. Eventually Tom Brady would have caught

316
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: up to Drew Brees, but he was ahead of Tom

317
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: Brady and would have broken it this year. Ah, So

318
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: God broke Drew brees Is thumb so Tom Brady could

319
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: catch up and overtake him and then get there first.

320
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know we were going in that direction, but wow,

321
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: that's something. What do you think of that? Yeah, well,

322
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: I gotta believe what you want to believe. Okay Scooche, Well,

323
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: do you believe that the Saints are nine and a

324
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: half point favorites over the Cardinals with Teddy Bridgewater Andrew

325
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: Brees or do you believe they're bigger favorites if Drew

326
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: Brees is playing. I think they're bigger favorites. If Drew

327
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: Brees is playing. I think the the perception is going

328
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: to be there, whether or not it's you know, in fact,

329
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: after this amount of time time off for a quarterback,

330
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: his age to be that effective to come in in

331
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: his first game. I think, I think, really that the

332
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: line shouldn't be too far off as well as Bridgewater

333
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: has been playing, but it is still Drew Brees and

334
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: the experience and the perception will mean a couple of points.

335
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: How uh, how much less is Drew Brees is worth

336
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: against the point spread now since Teddy Bridgewater has gone

337
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: on the run that he's gone on. So like, if

338
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: this game happened like the first game of the year

339
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: before we saw Bridgewater plays first game for the Saints

340
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: this year, it would have been about a five five

341
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: and a half point drop. Now it's only about two. Yeah, wow,

342
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: so interesting. That's like you're giving me so many things

343
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: I could write about, tweet about, talk about. That's great.

344
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it would depend on whatever the points Bread

345
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: was so obviously like a third team. If they were

346
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: a thirteen point favorite, uh, it could be mean as

347
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: much as you know, six points, But if if the

348
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: line opened up a pick um, it might only be

349
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: like a four or four and a half point adjustment,

350
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: so you know, the who who they're playing would have

351
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: made a difference to right, But in reality, like he's

352
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: gone from being five and a half points to about

353
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,479
Speaker 1: two points. Yeah, yeah, it's fascinating. That's a field goal.

354
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: That's a big number. This next game. I almost pains

355
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: me to talk about it. The Chicago Bears are four

356
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: point favorites against the Los Angeles Chargers. Like the amount

357
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: of grief that Mitch Drubisky started getting this week. It

358
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: feels like the entire world has caught up to what

359
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: we've been saying for eighteen months about this team. You

360
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, you know how I feel

361
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: about Trubisky. You know how I feel about the Bears

362
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: trading up up to get Mr Rubisky? Uh, Not taking

363
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, not taking Deshaun Watson, not taking Christian McCaffrey,

364
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: trading up, giving up players in the draft to go

365
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: from three to two to get Mr Bisky? How could

366
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: the Bears be four pret favorites in this game? They're disgusting.

367
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: The charges as don't even what. I know what you're

368
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: gonna say, Go say it. You know I was going

369
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: to say wise guys, but I I substituted. All the

370
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 1: buildings are taking the charges. Milmans are wise guys. The

371
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: wise guys are Millman's. Now. That's how we were all.

372
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: So we opened this game six right out of the game.

373
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: They took the six, they took the five and a half,

374
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: they're taken four and a half. You're right, this line's

375
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 1: going down. Um. I might actually go to four here

376
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: pretty shortly. And uh, the only thing is that the

377
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: public is slightly still on the Bears. Not by much,

378
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: you know, just just a shade. Um, So I don't

379
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: want to I don't want to go too quickly this

380
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: early in the week. I'll take another pop up at

381
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: lost four and a half. I don't think that's a

382
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: testament to the Bears. I think it's, uh, the Chargers

383
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: losing the way they did this past weekend, that they're

384
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: betting the Chargers the way they lost, now that the

385
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: public being on the Bears isn't about being on the Bears,

386
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: it's about being against the Chargers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're

387
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: probably right. I thought you were talking about the moments.

388
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: The moments are always on the right side yea of

389
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: history and bets. Yes, sir, Jacksonville five and a half

390
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: point favorite against the flailing New York Jets. Look, this

391
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: is gonna be one of those where, like Jack's go

392
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,959
Speaker 1: on the road, they cover for the public. We're all

393
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 1: over the Jags on the road and Gardner Minshew is

394
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback being a favorite on the road. Um,

395
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: wise guys made a bad choice. But you've got a

396
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: bet a bad number if you want to play in

397
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: this play in the NFL. Uh. And the Jets look horrible.

398
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean, my instinct is that there's probably a little

399
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: bit of a little bit of value on the Jets.

400
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: They're not going to be as bad as they were

401
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: against the Patriots. What are the wise guys doing at

402
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: five five and a half? Um, they're actually they're they're

403
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: taking We were actually at six and they're so they're

404
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: taking the sixth, but not not for a lot. So

405
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: I think five and a half is probably the right number,

406
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: although I favored the dag Wars and I'd rather be

407
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: a little high on this. So it's funny how just

408
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: one game can kind of change your perception of the team.

409
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: The Jets, you know, they get Donald back, and they

410
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: look like world beaters against Dallas. In in retrospect kind

411
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: of looking back, you know, you almost have to wonder

412
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: if Dallas was kind of looking ahead a little bit

413
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: to the to the Eagles game as well as good

414
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: as Dallas looked against the Eagles, and as bad as

415
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: they looked against the Jets, you know, maybe they took

416
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: them a little too lightly in that game, and maybe

417
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: Donald surprised them. But I don't think that that should

418
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: suddenly change our opinions of how bad the Jets are.

419
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: And Jacksonville, on the other hand, we were high on

420
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: them last week. We liked them last week. UH like

421
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: him again this week. So we're gonna try and stay

422
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: a little high. I kind of like the Jacksonville Jaguars

423
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: here too. I've changed my mind. I don't want to

424
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: talk about it. I don't want to talk about this

425
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: game for another second. The Los Angeles Rams are twelve

426
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites against Cincinnati Bengals. Look, tell

427
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: just tell me, tell me, tell me what's happening. Well,

428
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 1: they're everyone's bet in the Rams. But so the sharp

429
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: guys aren't taken it yet. But I think here's another

430
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: case where you have to take a bad team. Now,

431
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: So this game is in London. It's another London game,

432
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: but it's a ten o'clock Pacific time starts, not one

433
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: of those early six thirty games anymore starts, thank god.

434
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: But but the ticket counts about eight to one on Rams.

435
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: The Sharp guys haven't weighed in yet. Uh. You know,

436
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: the Rams played probably you know, one of their best

437
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 1: games of the year last week, So it's a it's

438
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: a it's a bad time for for for us for

439
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: them to be playing the Bengals as bookmakers. You know,

440
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: you couldn't take a worst team for them to be

441
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: playing now. Uh So, you know, cutting off of one

442
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: of their best performances. We know the public is going

443
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: to be all over the ran, so we shaded this

444
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: a little bit higher, um, knowing that. Um. So obviously

445
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: it's not high enough yet for the Sharp guys to

446
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: get involved. So this game might end up going to

447
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: four team. Yeah, you're gonna go to fourteen, and even

448
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: then people are gonna take the Bengals and they're gonna

449
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: regret it. Yeah, you know, a matter of fact, I'm

450
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: gonna I'm going to thirteen and a half right now

451
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: and just change. I heard it. My computer is just

452
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: acting up on Okay, there we go. Did it work?

453
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 1: You know? Accidentally? It actually it actually made the Bengals

454
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 1: a thirteen and a half point favors. So about it

455
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: for a second or two. So I was trying to

456
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: scramble theirs before before somebody you know gave us a

457
00:24:55,400 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 1: pop on it. Yeah, sometimes that happens. Oh my god,

458
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: that would have been amazing. Who I root for the

459
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: narrative and it would have been a great narrative if

460
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: you got popped because of mistake. That's it, all right.

461
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: The Detroit lines seven point favorites against the New York Giants.

462
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: I struggled with this one. That feels a little too high.

463
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: It feels a scoche, a scoche too high. Hey you

464
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: know what, I just got a bet on the Bengals

465
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: just that quick. I'm going back to third. Yeah, so

466
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: I'm going back to thirteen. How much was it? Uh

467
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: it was five thousand, so but five thousand from someone

468
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: you respect. Yeah, so this was this was somebody that uh,

469
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: we've kind of know over the years. And so ye,

470
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: by the way, thank god, they like do you think

471
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: they saw the Bengals minus thirteen and a half for

472
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: a second? And wait, wait, wait a second, that isn't

473
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: oct No, they would have bet the Rams if that

474
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: was the case. I know, but I mean if they

475
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: saw that line posted and like huh yeah, yeah, they

476
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: might have. I'm sure they did. And then uh, I mean,

477
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 1: they would have known it was a mistake. But yeah,

478
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: stays happen. The stakes get taken care of. You know

479
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yep, how would you explain that one

480
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: in your bosses? Think about how much money I could

481
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 1: have won up as if one us if I hit

482
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 1: the Rams team and a half, yeah, or you end

483
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: up winning. You end up winning that game and uh

484
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: and the Bagel's cover and you're like, yeah, I knew

485
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: this would happen, genius. You know there was a game

486
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: I want to go back, and I'm going back forever now,

487
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: like I don't know twenty five years when something like

488
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: this happened with the Canadian Football League and we made

489
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: the wrong team. There was a twelve and a half

490
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: point favorite, and I forgot which team it was. It

491
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: might have been, you know, the Stampeders, or there was

492
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: two teams that were named the same for a while

493
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: then might have been playing each other for all I know.

494
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: But anyway, we had the wrong Uh, we had the

495
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: wrong favorite, and somebody bet the team that should have

496
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: been favored. They took the plus twelve and a half

497
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: instead of laying twelve and a half, and somehow the

498
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: team lost by more than twelve and a half, twelve

499
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. They lost anyway, and this

500
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: guy comes in looking to get a refund on it,

501
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, they made a mistake on this

502
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: and the line shouldn't have been this, and he was

503
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: looking to get paid on it anyway, even after he

504
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: took a shot at us and still lost the game.

505
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: You know what, buyer beware, my friend. Yeah, I guarantee

506
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: it was the rough Riders playing the rough Riders. That's

507
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: what it was. Yeah, the Detroit lines seven point favorites

508
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: at home against the Giants. I think it's a little high,

509
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: just a Scooch high. Yeah, yeah, So and we did too.

510
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: We opened it seven seven flat and the first few

511
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 1: bets out of the gate, we're on the Giants. So

512
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: we went to plus seven minus twenty now and now

513
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: they're laying in the twenties. So I can definitely see

514
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,959
Speaker 1: this game going down the six and a half. Uh,

515
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 1: there's a little bit high, but we are kind of

516
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: fading a lot of public money on on the Lions here.

517
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: It's about a four to one ratio, five to one

518
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 1: ratio Lions to Giants right now. So even with even

519
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: with the Lions lost last week. I think public will

520
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: still be coming in on on Detroit this one. Tampa Bay, Jesus,

521
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: you have a hard time even saying that they're visiting Tennessee.

522
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: Tennessee is a two and a half point favorite, but

523
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: like I guess you bet Tennessee is a short home favorite,

524
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: like you did this past week against the Chargers. But

525
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it with any enthusiasm. Yeah, I think

526
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: it's just a kind of you play the number two

527
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: and a half at home Titans, you know, coming off

528
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: of a win, to change quarterbacks, and you know it's

529
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 1: it's probably a little played for the times. But this

530
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: we're not going to get any action on this game,

531
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: so it's kind of just stuck right there in the

532
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: middle of the other early games, which is great. Now

533
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: we gotta run of interesting games coming up, not that

534
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: the other ones aren't interesting. I love all my beds equally,

535
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: but these games are more interesting to me. Philadelphia a

536
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: one and a half point underdog against the Bills. Boy, boy,

537
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: have there have the fortunes changed for those two teams?

538
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: That was not this number even a week ago. No, No,

539
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't. I mean the Bills are obviously overachieving and

540
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: even even with a lack of offense. I mean, they

541
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: struggled a little bit last week with with Miami, and

542
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: you know, we were saying they probably shouldn't have been

543
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: uh as big of a favorite as as they were.

544
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: So they're they're ranking since clearly climbed up. The Eagles

545
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: has dropped a little bit, but not not too much.

546
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you think about this, The Sharp guys were

547
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: betting the Eagles at plus two and a half in

548
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: Dallas last week. Okay, they didn't get the win, but

549
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: now they're getting too against the Bills, which you know,

550
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: on the face of it, seems like it should be

551
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: a play on the Eagles. So we know the public

552
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: is going to kind of see the Bills and say, hey, wow,

553
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: you know the Bills are only laying two at home,

554
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: this team's five and one. The Eagles just lost to

555
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, so we know this is a public play

556
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: on the Bills. But I would expect the Sharp guys

557
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: to kind of throw the last week's game out and

558
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: be on the Eagles again this week. I don't know, man,

559
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: very short home favorite. I need a team with an

560
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: incredibly good defense and a quarterback who can make plays

561
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: with his feet against a defense that has beaten up

562
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: and all they gotta do is win the game. You up, Yeah, no,

563
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: I I could see it. I mean, this is one

564
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: of the first games if I'm coming in and saying,

565
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, give me a short home favorite. I would

566
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: take this one over the Titans like that we just

567
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: talked about the Titans game. Uh, you know, I would

568
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: take this one over the Colts or the I mean,

569
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: this is kind of like a one of those systems plays.

570
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: I've got a both statement. I just think that the

571
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: Bills have just had a pretty big kind of run

572
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: of weekly increases in in the rankings, and at some

573
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: point you lose a little value. I've got a bold

574
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: statement about the next game, which one Carolina visiting San Francisco.

575
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: They're five and a half point underdogs on the road

576
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: against the team that you say is the third rated

577
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: team in the NFL. Yeah, they're coming off, Hold on,

578
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: coming off. You're gonna let me finish, mr Okah. I

579
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: think the Panthers win this game out right. I don't

580
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: doubt it for one minute. You know, so, I have

581
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: been so slow to move the Niners, and that's why

582
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't have them ranked the top of the NFC.

583
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: But every week I keep saying they're going to get exposed,

584
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: and every week they keep kind of proving me wrong. Now,

585
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: last week, I mean if that they're playing that game

586
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: in a kind of a driving rainstorm and I couldn't

587
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: draw as much from it. I mean I I've talked

588
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: about it all week how the Niners were just super

589
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: inflated over the Redskins, um, you know as ten point

590
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: road road favorites, and and every bit of value has

591
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: has just been drained from the from the forty Niners,

592
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: and that there was only value in the Redskins. Well,

593
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: they barely got the cover. So I just might keep

594
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: taking it on the chin every week with the forty

595
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: Niners until they win the Super Bowl. I'm just not

596
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 1: quite there yet. So um, you know, I I'm at

597
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: five and a half on on the game. Uh. We're

598
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: drawn mostly public money on the Niners. But I did

599
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: get a few thousand on the Panthers from some guys

600
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: that I that I know, so that are that are

601
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: pretty successful and betting. Uh, so that's kind of a

602
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: good indication that we are going to get maybe a

603
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: little sharp money on on Carolina. Yea, I might do

604
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: Carolina money line my friend. Yeah. If if nothing else,

605
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm betting Caroline in this game. That's all I'm saying. Well,

606
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: you got to take the points. I mean, I've said

607
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: I've been saying it every week. You know, we keep inflating,

608
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: inflating that the Niners based on how much money we're getting,

609
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: and based on the fact that they keep covering UM.

610
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: Even though they didn't cover last week, they were almost

611
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: right that they could have easily. They just chose to

612
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: run the clock out there at the end, which was

613
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: great for us. But but yeah, I'm just I'm very

614
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: slow to move in and if that burns me every week,

615
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: then so be it. But I'm just very slow to

616
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: move them. Houston is a six and a half point

617
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: favorite over the Raiders, two teams coming off losses pretty

618
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: bad losses, looking not very good. Sixty three percent of

619
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: the money coming of the tickets coming in in Houston,

620
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: but of the money coming in on Houston, meaning the

621
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: wise guys are back in the Oakland Raiders again. This

622
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 1: is according to the Action Network app. They are we opened.

623
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: We opened the game seven and we're down to six

624
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: and a half. UM. I think I think six and

625
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: a half were probably good because we know that the

626
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: public money is coming in on the Texans probably won't

627
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: go back to seven. UM, and if I do, it'll

628
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: be seven even money. But I think six and a

629
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: half is probably the right line on this one. Last week,

630
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: I think Houston's loss that was just a great spot

631
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: for the Colts, and I think Houston kind of bounces.

632
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: I've used in just a much better team obviously than

633
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: the Raiders, but the Raiders haven't been getting a whole

634
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: lot of support from the public, even as competitive as

635
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,479
Speaker 1: as they've been playing. UM. I was actually uh both

636
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders last week was a good play against the Packers.

637
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: I think that was actually my scooter left pick. But yeah,

638
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: and and honestly, if you if you watch the game, uh,

639
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: Derek Carr dives for the pylon that would have given

640
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: him the lead right before the half, and he fumbles

641
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 1: the ball. Packers get touch back, get the ball in

642
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: the twenty and then they scored touchdown before the half,

643
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: ends a four teen point swing that the Raiders just

644
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 1: never recovered from that. And had they I honestly think

645
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 1: that had he not fumbled in that and and took

646
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: the lead into halftime, but they would have gotten the cover.

647
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: But you know the right side of the winning side, amen, brother.

648
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: And also you're betting bad teams. Speaking of here's the

649
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 1: part of the conversation. New England Patriots at home twelve

650
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites against the Cleveland Browns, Am

651
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: I crazier? Is this the spot for the Browns? Definitely

652
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: the spot for the Browns? It is, right, yeah. I

653
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: mean this line is just like the pregame line. I mean,

654
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: like last week we probably would have a couple of

655
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: weeks ago probably would have been looking at maybe ten

656
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: and a half eleven on this game. Uh, and now

657
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: you're able to get thirteen and coming off of the

658
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: you know, the Patriots just annihilation of the Jets and

659
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: the fact that the Patriots just keep rolling. Uh. You know,

660
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: it's just we know that this line is about as

661
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: inflated as you can get. But you've got to have

662
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: a lot of stones to that that the Browns, because

663
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: you don't make a living against the Patriots. I think

664
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: this is the spot. Look, the story the narrative here

665
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: is the Patriots or world beaters, but there's a secondary

666
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: narrative developings that they haven't played anybody, and they haven't

667
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 1: played any good quarterbacks. And so this is really a

668
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 1: referendum on Baker Mayfield, right, because do you believe he's

669
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: a good quarterback or not? And it is all through

670
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: the lens of how do you view view the Patriots. Yeah,

671
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: and if you can put a pass rush on Brady,

672
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: you put the I think the Giants showed in that

673
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: in that Giants Patriots game where if you put enough

674
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: put enough pressure on Brady, you know he's not going

675
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: to be that kind of accurate short game passor that

676
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: you saw last night. And um, Cleveland does have a

677
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: good defense, it's just New England's defense is the best

678
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So, like you said, this is this

679
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: is the real test for for Baker Mayfield. I'm going

680
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: to be a Baker boy this weekend, Kansas City hosting

681
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. Packers are four and a half

682
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: point favorites. Tell me how you came to this line,

683
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: Scooch and what the wise guys are betting? Well, obviously

684
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: just no Mahomes. So uh, I think that even with

685
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: their win against the Broncos without him, I think you know,

686
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: the public is going to be uh favor in the

687
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: Packers just I mean, even the average casual fan knows

688
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: the difference of Matt Moore and Patrick Mahomes and going

689
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 1: up against a tough green Bay defense and green Bay's finally.

690
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: You know, for the last few weeks, I haven't been

691
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: too high on on green Bay. And like I said

692
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: last week, my my best pick was on the Raiders

693
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: against green Bay. Um, but they are starting to, uh,

694
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: you know, look look a lot better both on the

695
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: offense and defensive side. And when they get Davante Adams back,

696
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: they're going to be even better. So um, you know,

697
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: we just went a little on the high side hoping

698
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: to draw a little Chiefs money. It seems odd that

699
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 1: that's that. I needn't saying that because we've been rooting

700
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs all year. Now here I am looking

701
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 1: for Chiefs money. I really wish Mahomes would have been

702
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: in this game. It just would have been such a

703
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: great matchup with with Mahomes and uh and Aaron Rodgers.

704
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: I know, it's such a bummer, such a bummer. I

705
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: don't have anything else to say, just a bummer. But

706
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: but but no sharp money yet, I mean, everything is

707
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: just all public money. On on the Packers and uh

708
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: and if anything, I can probably see the line going

709
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: up up, you know, being especially being the the late game. UM,

710
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: with that much money on on the favorite, I could

711
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: I could easily see this line going up Miami visiting Pittsburgh.

712
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is a fourteen and a half point favorite. Boy

713
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: at a miserable game to end your weekend if you

714
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: are a football fan, Yeah, who's the quarterback? Duck Hodges?

715
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: Duck Hodges against Fits Magic? No, I think Mason Rudolph

716
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: has been Mason Rudolph backs. Well, he's probable, he's not not,

717
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: not definitely yet, but he's he hasn't been upgrades. Are

718
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: we playing the NFL and we're playing fucking Dungeons and Dragons?

719
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: Fits Magic against Duck Hodges? Now we're just making ship

720
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: up I know, not exactly the marquee matchups, is it?

721
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: How is ESPN gonna like ESPN struggle to make something

722
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: out of the Patriots game last night? Now they got

723
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: to make something out of the Heelers and the Dolphins.

724
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: Good lord. Yeah, I don't want to talk about this game.

725
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about it. I'll just I'll

726
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: just tell you that we opened fifteen on the game,

727
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: and uh it took a lot of money on on

728
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. So you have to hold your nose and

729
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: you have to bet the Dolphins again double digit dogs.

730
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: You gotta beat bad teams. Yep, that's it. You gotta

731
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: beat bad teams. All right. You know we're gonna do

732
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 1: right now, Scooch, Roulette, let's do it. We both lost

733
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: last week. Scooch. You had the Raiders, I had the Eagles. Okay,

734
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: who's going first? I want to go first? Okay, because

735
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna steal my play. Yeah, because I'm taking the

736
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, So fuck you, damn it. Okay, that was

737
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: my play. What are you gonna do? Now? Take the Brownies?

738
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: I want to take the Dolphins. You want to take

739
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of your own medicine. You gotta bet

740
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: bad numbers. Go ahead, go ahead, Take the Bengals, Take

741
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 1: the Browns, Take the Dolphins. What are you gonna do? Scooch?

742
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 1: I love the Dolphins. I'm a huge Dolphins fan. Are

00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:40,400

00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: I say it's to pick them. Well, sometimes you got

763
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: a bet bad teams, you know what I'm saying. Alright, brother,

764
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you next. I'll talk to you Sunday. Goodbye.

765
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: All right, all right, we are back on the favorite podcast.

766
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 1: Dann Ravelle is joining me over the phone. We're gonna

767
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: talk about our picks for the super Contest, which did

768
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: dismally this past week, and then we're gonna bring on

769
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: Simon Hunter probe better. It's gonna try to get us

770
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: going in the right direction again. Darren, listen, you've got

771
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: to move on. Okay. We can't all wallow in our

772
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: sadness about what we missed. We've got to look ahead

773
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: to next week. And I know you've been thinking about it,

774
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: so I don't want to waste any time. Tell me

775
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: who's on your board. I I thought about this week

776
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: more than I have thought about any other week, Okay,

777
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: and I decided it's time to stop playing these games

778
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: about you know, what would a sharp guy take, because

779
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm joke you public and I'm going to stick

780
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 1: with it. And that's why I am engaging in three

781
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: of the top four largest spreads this week. I like

782
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: Washington plus fifteen and a half against the Vikings. I

783
00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 1: love Miami fourteen and a half against Pittsburgh. And I

784
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 1: love New England minus twelve and a half against the Browns.

785
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna win by that much, so uh, New England. Definitely,

786
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 1: they will beat the Browns. The Browns are not that good.

787
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: Miami is better, uh than people think. They've covered the

788
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: last two weeks, and Washington from at least a defensive standpoint.

789
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 1: I felt very good about their effort against the forty

790
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: nine years, even though it was a slopfest. Then I

791
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: like Seattle minus three and a half against Atlanta. How

792
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: that's not bigger given Matt ryan situation, that seems scary

793
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: to me. And I have faith in Jacoby Brissett minus

794
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: six against Denver, who I have no faith in. I

795
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: think these are really interesting picks. Um, I'm not gonna

796
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: lie to you. There's a couple on here that I

797
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: want to avoid. But I think your first you, your

798
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: first two are sharp plays, like that's what the wise

799
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: guys are doing. The wise guys are on Washington. The

800
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: wise guys bet Washington at sixteen the guys guys, the

801
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: wise guys are on Miami. Um, I disagree. I think that,

802
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: And I just said this was scooch. I think in

803
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: New England, Cleveland is a referendum on the on what

804
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: you think of Baker Mayfield. The Patriots have not played

805
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: anybody good this year, right, they have played any quarterbacks,

806
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: they're winning by a lot. Uh So if you think

807
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is good, then you're taking the Brows. If

808
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: you don't, then you're taking the Patriots. That's that's basically

809
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: what you think. Um, Seattle for me feels a little

810
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: bit like a stay away. I don't know, I'm just

811
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: not convinced yet. Uh, but it feels like, say, because

812
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: it's too good to be true. Um, I guess I

813
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 1: just I mean, I know they didn't perform that well

814
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: this this past week, but I think that was more

815
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 1: of a fat who they were playing. I think Russell

816
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: Wilson is pretty much a I mean, he's a good quarterback,

817
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 1: and Atlanta the situation is do yeah. I don't like

818
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: betting backup quarterbacks who know what they're doing, like Matt

819
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: Shob and uh Doob had it. He had a great drive,

820
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: he had a great drive down and Colts minus six.

821
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear what Simon has to say on that.

822
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna give you my plays yet. Uh.

823
00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: Let's just get Simon on the phone and see what

824
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 1: he thinks of these and um, and then I'm going

825
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: to weigh in with mine. And now a word from

826
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: a wise guy. With Simon Hunter, we did what Simon

827
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: says last week, and we went one and four. It

828
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 1: is uh, it was doom and gloom. But then what's

829
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 1: the dust subtle? And I looked everything that's going bad

830
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: for us? We're only eight back of being in the

831
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 1: lead for one point five millions. No way, I'm not.

832
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: I'm not, I swear everyone else. It's everyone thinks this

833
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: is so easy. It's not easy. I mean, it's it's

834
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,239
Speaker 1: hard to keep a strong pace because you're overthinking every week.

835
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: So I'm not too worried. Yet. We got plenty of time.

836
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we got plenty of time until I

837
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:26,959
Speaker 1: weigh in. I bring you Dann Ravel's you know, House

838
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: of Slop and and I want to give you some

839
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: of his plays. I want to get your take. I

840
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 1: want to give you some of my ideas, and then

841
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna come to the consensus. Okay, I'll do it

842
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: what Derel likes. Washington plus fifteen and a half. I

843
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: avowed we're not rushing into a Thursday night game. Yeah,

844
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: let's take a break from Thursday. Um. I like, I

845
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:56,879
Speaker 1: love the idea because it's current and prime time it's

846
00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: it's a great spot to fade him and he got

847
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: against his former team, right, So that that's the thing

848
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 1: that's worrying me a little bit. It's who's me more

849
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: of this golf case keenom playing against his former team,

850
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: or is the Viking is just gonna come out and

851
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,280
Speaker 1: beat them thirty nothing like? It's this kind of feels

852
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: a good. Same thing with the Jets on the prime

853
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: time game. It's like one of those we should just

854
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:24,840
Speaker 1: stay away with, stay away from. Agree But speaking of

855
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: prime time games, what is it, Darren? You love that one? Darren?

856
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 1: I want this game. I can't believe that there's so

857
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: much chalk this week. That's way better than that one. Okay,

858
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: I'll back you. I'll hear what you have to say

859
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 1: about the chalk, because I I didn't see that chalk. Well.

860
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: Darren also likes Miami plus fourteen and a half. Simon,

861
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: you would uh that that feels like one of those

862
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: really good letdown spots for the Dolphins. So I know

863
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 1: it's a ton of point. So people are gonna be

864
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 1: taking the Dolphins because they played a good close game

865
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: last week. But I'll wait for the public just to

866
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 1: keep hitting the Dolphins and whatever Sharps are taking it

867
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 1: early and I'll probably at to get Pittsburgh down at

868
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: fourteen fourteen and a half. I'll take Pittsburgh because that's

869
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 1: just a good a good spot for Pittsburgh playing against

870
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: a Dolphin team that I don't know how they're not

871
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: defeated after last week's whilst that I feel like that

872
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: was their everything game and they couldn't get the win.

873
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: I feel like, uh, I feel like the Redskins was

874
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: the everything game and they couldn't get the win. Like

875
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: to me, I was actually, you know, I'm a little

876
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: bit on the side of Darren here. I feel like

877
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: the Dolphins acquitted themselves well against the Bills in a

878
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 1: spot where a lot of people thought, you know, they

879
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: were what seventeen and a half point underdogs, Like that

880
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 1: seemed way too much to me. The Bills hadn't even

881
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: scored seventeen points in three or five occasional game though.

882
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: That's what makes that a difference. That's a divisional game,

883
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 1: so that's why they got I get the Redskins thing

884
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 1: was more about the weather, like they that they never

885
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: had a chance against sad frame that that was a

886
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 1: blessing there there was the first team since the nineties,

887
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: seventies or eighties to cover without scoring a point. So

888
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: I don't that's why I like both these dogs. Like

889
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: I think that was a nice week for them last week.

890
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:11,879
Speaker 1: I don't know about backing them two weeks in orrow.

891
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:20,399
Speaker 1: What about New England twelve and a half against the Browns. Uh.

892
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm actually seeing some Brown lines already have the plus

893
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: four team out there. So I guess everyone's pounding the Patriots.

894
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 1: But like we said last week, like either you take

895
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots, you just stay away from those sides. Like

896
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,719
Speaker 1: I like the Browns in the spot, there's just way

897
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: too many points, Like the look at the look Ahead

898
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 1: I think was ten ten and a half. I don't

899
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: see how the Brown's got three points worse during a

900
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:46,400
Speaker 1: bye week. Um, so I can do why you like

901
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Why wouldn't you? The Browns look horrible. But

902
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: I'll be on the Brown side of that one. I

903
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,319
Speaker 1: love the Browns in that spot. Yeah, that's a lot

904
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: of points. People like, this isn't the Dolphins, this is

905
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 1: Browns are. They're a bad team, but they're still not

906
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 1: the worst thing, the second best team in their division.

907
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: What do you have this radar at I had just

908
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 1: said ten, so when I saw I thought it was

909
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 1: getting good number last week, and it'll send a half

910
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 1: and then the pads absolutely destroyed the jets and this

911
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: is steaming up now. So it's that some books you

912
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 1: can get twelve and a half thirteen, and I'm seeing

913
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,439
Speaker 1: fourteen and thirteen and a half. So it's just gonna

914
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: keep going up, it looks like until the sharp start

915
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: hitting the other side. So it's very possible. By the

916
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: time this line officially gets posted by the west Gate,

917
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: we're looking in New England minus fourteen right for the contest.

918
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we can put that aside if Darren feels

919
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: that good about the paths. But well, the problem is

920
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 1: I feel but let's keep Let's keep uh Seattle minus

921
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: three and a half against Atlanta. We don't know whose

922
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 1: quarterback in there. I love that line that if that

923
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 1: line stage through in the super Contest, that's what it

924
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 1: opens that because they don't know who the quarterback is.

925
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: Either everyone's gonna take that line, so that's one of

926
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: those we can ride with everyone in the contest and

927
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: take Seattle, or we can just try to stay away

928
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: to get an advantage of right, we need a little

929
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: game theory there, right that that that's one of those

930
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:10,879
Speaker 1: if you guys just want to ride with everyone else,

931
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: we can just take because everyone takes. That's a horrible

932
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 1: line because they're they're hanging that line acting like that's

933
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: with Matt Ryan, where it doesn't. I haven't seen any

934
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: reports in Matt Ryan playing. I don't know that I spoked.

935
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: I just spoked a Scooch when we talked about that game,

936
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: and he said that the difference between Matt Ryan and

937
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: Matt shob is about two points. That feels insanely disrespectful

938
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: and it's not for me. I got it. I got

939
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,720
Speaker 1: a five and a half. So I mean, like, obviously

940
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: Vegas is going to weigh the system differently. But I

941
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: think Matt Matt Ryan has looked down upon, but he's

942
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: really good. Like I get people saw Matt shop drive

943
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 1: the field at the end of that game. That was

944
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,280
Speaker 1: it was a junk time that was irrelevant. They're playing

945
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: press coverage, so I'm not buying the shop things, so

946
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: I would actually be on Seattle on that one alright,

947
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:06,279
Speaker 1: last one from Darren Colts minus six. I love it.

948
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean it's a good it's a good spot, like

949
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: the Colts. Colts are a really good team and they're

950
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 1: playing a really bad team. You're getting less than a touchdown.

951
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: So I mean, I'll be on the culture. But that

952
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: might be a trap spot. I mean we got we

953
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 1: got embarrassed with the trap spot last week, so I

954
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: might as one. I even mentioned that now I can't

955
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: talk about that game? What about all right? So that's that?

956
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: Those were Darren's picks? Like those picks there? What was

957
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: that sent? You like my you? You like my pick? Well,

958
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: it's like you're getting better. Mean, you're getting better as

959
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: these weeks go along. I'm not. I'm just getting more forceful,

960
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,399
Speaker 1: you know. I feel like I don't know. I saw

961
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: the big lines and I was okay, I was fine

962
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: to sneak him. I I agree in some sense, I don't.

963
00:53:54,080 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: I don't like the figuring out on Miami's gonna have

964
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: a letdown. I like that game a lot. I think

965
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: the Browns a little bit is the most dangerous of

966
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: my picks, so I will let that one go easily. Um,

967
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: And I don't know. I I've never had confidence in

968
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, but I'm off that. But I I I

969
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 1: really I do like the Dolphins of of my picks,

970
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: and and obviously if we have the three and a half,

971
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: where I would like to just take Seattle because I'm

972
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: not worried about it. I mean, I understand the game theory.

973
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: I think we're we're not at that point yet. You

974
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: can argue where at that point all week, but well season,

975
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 1: you can say it all season, you do that, but

976
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,120
Speaker 1: I I just I want to worry about games that

977
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: I think I can win. First, let me ask a

978
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: different question, Simon, based forget about forget about game theory.

979
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,760
Speaker 1: Based purely on ratings, we are the five biggest biggest

980
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 1: discrepancies for you, Like where am I seeing the most value?

981
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:52,839
Speaker 1: Like we don't want to do that because we tried

982
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:54,879
Speaker 1: doing that last week and that about was finding place

983
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: like good value this week, like for like sharp angle games,

984
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: is take gonna be Oakland? Like that was a a

985
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: false game last week. It was like we had three

986
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: different plays that were twenty one point swings. So if

987
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: you look at how that final score should have been,

988
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: we should have covered that number. So now they're getting

989
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,080
Speaker 1: a ton of value this week Oakland, and then another

990
00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: game that another thing that's gonna a ton of value

991
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: is going to be um and like we would never

992
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: do it is the Bengals. Like the Rams, I have

993
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: them in a nine and a half point faver here,

994
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,320
Speaker 1: So like I'll be on the Bengals. No one in

995
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 1: the right bend, especially if you've met the Bengals last week,

996
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 1: you're covering the whole game and they give up I

997
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: think twenty points in the final five minutes. Is anyone's

998
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: gonna bet in the Bengals this week? So that's one

999
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: of those Like the pro these are lines gonna be taken,

1000
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 1: but these aren't good. These aren't good for a Super Contest.

1001
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 1: But my game that I really like for the Super

1002
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: Contest this week, that I know that it's gonna be

1003
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of a chalk play. I do really

1004
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:00,040
Speaker 1: like the the Colts here? What what then? Was in

1005
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,240
Speaker 1: all the Super Contest? Let's do this, Let's take the Colts,

1006
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: Let's put Miami in there. I'd say let's take Seattle

1007
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: as an alternative, depending on where the line is. I

1008
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: want the Browns, So Darren, will you permit me to

1009
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: put the Browns in there? So this is what we

1010
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,319
Speaker 1: talked about last week, though, let's not let's not get

1011
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: too cute, meaning but don't forget right like. I'd rather

1012
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: do Green Bay on Sunday night playing a backup and

1013
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: take the Browns. You know what I mean? What's your

1014
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 1: rating for green Bay? Right now? So I got them

1015
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: for this game in minus six and a half, and

1016
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:49,919
Speaker 1: I know some books it's still for but I'm seeing

1017
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: a lot of other books already up to five, so

1018
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 1: it might be up five by the contest, but I

1019
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 1: still like that value. All right, I'll take I'll take

1020
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: green Bay, So right now, we'll do the Colts Miami

1021
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: green Bay. I want to throw one out there that

1022
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: I love, love Simon, give me the Panthers plus five

1023
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 1: and a half against the Niners. Ah. I love this

1024
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:13,839
Speaker 1: from the sense that they're coming off a bye week,

1025
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: so they're gonna be a nice, while rested team playing

1026
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: an undefeated team that's due to do to lose. So

1027
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: I'll ride with you on those points. I love those points.

1028
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: How do you feel about having five and a half

1029
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: of the Panthers there? Let's remember how they were a

1030
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, right, and how everyone was taking

1031
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: him and then they've all no, Darren, you're not known,

1032
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: You're not remembering how they were a couple of weeks ago.

1033
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: That's not what you do. That's the opposite of what

1034
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do. That's what gets you in Trump.

1035
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 1: That's what That's what Joe, that's I'm joke to public.

1036
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: So I remember they did really well a couple of

1037
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Then they length of the bed, and then

1038
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 1: and and I do like the idea of of the

1039
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: well rested and the you know, the forty niners are

1040
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 1: are cocky and the only one nine nothing over the Ridskins.

1041
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying, yes, okay, So I have my own methods,

1042
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: Chad of getting to where I need to get, and

1043
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: you don't work to me. Okay. So right now we

1044
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: got the Panthers, the Colts, the Dolphins, and Green Bay,

1045
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: and I feel like we have Seattle as an alternate

1046
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: um depending on where that where that line lands. Um,

1047
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: what's the what's the what's the what? Up up to

1048
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: five or up to four? What? What is the rule

1049
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: for which game? What's our rule for Seattle? We pick

1050
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 1: it unless it hits what number? Oh, I mean if

1051
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 1: it's if it's the backup, I'd take it up the

1052
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: six and a half because I'm not seeing any books

1053
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,200
Speaker 1: with the line here. That's what's like. I'm seeing like

1054
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: the line that they did but originally took off the board,

1055
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 1: which is three and a half. But that might be

1056
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: what I'm working off of, right, So that's what like,

1057
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that's what if the Super Contest comes out

1058
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: with that, we can ride with everyone else and just

1059
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,919
Speaker 1: take that number. All right, do we need we need

1060
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: one more team, Simon, We're gonna go, Simon says. Simon says, take.

1061
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: Shimon said, its take, so my my favorite alternatives for

1062
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 1: the ones we have right now. I would hate to

1063
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: do it to Darren, but I do like the Jags

1064
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: at home against the Jeff. I don't like that game.

1065
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 1: You know what we have to do it, Simon says,

1066
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: we're playing. Simon says, well, we can just put that

1067
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: as an alternative. We're taking that if Seattle doesn't work, right, yeah,

1068
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: because that's that's that's the that's the Attle numbers end

1069
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: up being a good one. Like Darren's right, we shouldn't

1070
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: really be playing the percentages yet, so I'm definitely cool

1071
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 1: taking the Seattle one. All right. So we got the

1072
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: Jags minus five and a half. We got the Colts

1073
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: minus six, we got Miami plus fourteen and a half,

1074
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: we got I'm sorry, we got Green Bay minus four

1075
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: and a half, and we got the Panthers plus five

1076
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: and a half and maybe Seattle to replace the Jags,

1077
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: depending on what they get. To Desk, I like it.

1078
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Anything is better than us back in a week where

1079
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: we go with Michigan. I don't think we'll ever have

1080
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: Michigan contest again. No Mitch, no Bengals. Like pretty soon,

1081
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 1: we won't have anyone to choose it all. That's that's

1082
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 1: the best part with you and I will take full responsibility.

1083
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: I will take full responsibility for the Dolphins. I feel

1084
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: really good about it, and I will own it either way.

1085
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 1: I'll be really cocky when we win, but if somehow

1086
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: things don't wind wind up where we need to be,

1087
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: I will own it. We'll probably find a way to

1088
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 1: blame you for it. Anyways. Yeah, I'll just say it's

1089
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 1: never a good signed. A professional don't gonna take a

1090
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: huge dog. I'll say that much. Simon Hunter, Dan Revel,
