I think the only thing you left off 30 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: was the college basketball This all. 31 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 3: Right, Nick, my fault. I forgot eighty million things you do, 32 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 3: fair schuir. Fact though, we're gonna spend the first half 33 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 3: of today's show focusing on the luck rankings. First off, 34 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 3: let's kick off with the first usual question, and we're 35 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 3: gonna get to several topics. Nick, I call this like 36 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 3: the group therapy session Tuesday of the NFL season, just 37 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 3: to kind of decompress, gather your thoughts and what is 38 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 3: kind of twisting and turning up there in your brain 39 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 3: of yours leading into the following weeks. I'll go to 40 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 3: you first. Biggest takeaway from NFL Week. 41 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: Three, Yeah, I think the biggest takeaway for me is 42 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: how different it was from weeks one and two. Some 43 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: people may not realize it, you know, they still think 44 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: scoring is down, but play calling and QB improvements were 45 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: the name of the week, passing success rates were up 46 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: to forty five point three percent. That's up from forty 47 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: one and forty three percent in weeks one and two. 48 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: Passing volume was up. There were one thirty eight total 49 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: passing plays that were non spikes that result in either 50 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: a pass attempt or a sack versus ten fifty three 51 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: in ten forty in weeks one and two, So nearly 52 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: one hundred more pass attempts in week three than the 53 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: first two weeks average. And you know, if we look 54 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: at explosive plays, explosive passing was up to four point 55 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: seven percent, which of all plays, not just of pass plays, 56 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: but of all plays four point seven percent of all 57 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: plays versus three point nine and four point two percent 58 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: in weeks one and two. And explosive passing, explosive rushing, 59 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: non explosive passing, and non explosive rushing, we're all right 60 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: in line with twenty twenty three averages for the whole 61 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: season there in week three. So maybe we're having a return, 62 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of a return to maybe not so 63 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: much normalcy, but closer to what we've been seeing in 64 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: the past. 65 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 3: Brandon, same question to you. 66 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like the takeaway is kind of what 67 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 4: we thought going in Brandon. I think it was kitchen 68 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 4: sink Week. We saw all these oh and two teams 69 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 4: show up and fight for their lives. We ranked Brandon 70 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 4: on our show on Friday. We ranked the nine oh 71 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 4: to two teams in order of how well they fit 72 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 4: the kitchen sink trends. The top five we winked where 73 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 4: the Rams, Ravens, Giants, Colts, Panthers. They all covered. They 74 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 4: all went out right six and a half point dog, 75 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 4: six and a half, seven and a half for three 76 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 4: of those teams. Sunday especially was a very kitchen sinky 77 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 4: week or kitchen sinky Day, and just in general that's 78 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 4: been the story of the season. I think still is 79 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 4: just the underdogs continue to win. And to me, the 80 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 4: takeaway then is don't get too overconfident. Right, the Steelers 81 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 4: are three and oh, the Vikings are three and oh, 82 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 4: the Bengals are oh and to three, the Jaguars are 83 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 4: oh and to three. Like nobody thought this is what 84 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: was going to happen. You got to kind of see 85 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 4: what's happening. Hold lightly to things, don't get too overconfident 86 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 4: in your reads, and especially play the number not necessarily 87 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 4: just the team or the matchups. Sometimes when books are 88 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 4: overreacting or betters are overreacting or both, we got to 89 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,040 Speaker 4: just kind of close your eyes and take the points. 90 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 4: I even said on the show that the Rams were 91 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 4: the best kitchen sink spot. They're definitely the spot. But 92 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 4: I can't do it. I couldn't do it, and then 93 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 4: here they are winners of their game. So sometimes you 94 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 4: just got to play the number in the spot and 95 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 4: let the rest sort itself out. 96 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 3: I think Nick raises a good point with his data 97 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 3: to back it up, but also just eyeball test, it's 98 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 3: a proof that they're no preseason. We've been beating us 99 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: into the drum, but no preseason and young quarterbacks like 100 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 3: I think Nick Daniels was fantastic last night, of course. 101 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 3: Just they're making strides, and I think this is what 102 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 3: the league wanted us to sign up for by adding 103 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 3: another game eventually down the road, adding the seventeenth game 104 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 3: a few years ago, eighteen coming. We're just gonna have 105 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 3: to We're just gonna have to accept it. You know, 106 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 3: these first few weeks are going to be turbulent and 107 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 3: maybe piss poor as far as like offense is concerned, 108 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 3: but better good signs in Week three, as Nick mentioned, 109 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: So for like the five hundredth million time that I've 110 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 3: talked to Nick Giffen, I want him to educate the 111 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 3: audience on the NFL luck rank And it's a big 112 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 3: umbrella of a question here, but like your biggest takeaway 113 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 3: as it pertains to the NFL luck rankings, Nick Giffen. 114 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, something that I thought was very interesting is what 115 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: powers our luck rankings is something called expected scores. So 116 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: that's basically, if they've replayed this game between these two 117 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: teams a million times over and put them in the 118 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: same situations, what should the score have been based off 119 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 1: the underlying stats and data from that matchup. Well, our 120 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: expected scores have always trended perfectly with actual scores. If 121 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: you plot a graph, you know, you get a perfect 122 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: line that fits right next to the line why equals x. 123 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: This year, our expected scores you have to just shift 124 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: straight downward from actual scores. I should say actual scores 125 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: are much lower than our expected scores. So our expected 126 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: scores have been overshooting every game, and I think it's 127 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: because of the weird changes in Week one and two. 128 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: Week three was a lot better though, So I'm not 129 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: totally there on, I need to update the expected scores formula. 130 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: We'll see what happens, but I do have a contingent 131 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: expected scores formula already in case there's been some league 132 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: wide shifts. And that's the thing. The NFL is always changing. 133 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: I can't use luck rankings data from pre twenty eighteen 134 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: because the league was so different seven, eight, nine, ten 135 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: years ago than it was the past few years. And 136 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: if the league is starting to change again, that we're 137 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: gonna have to keep up with that in the expected 138 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: score formula. And that's a great thing about having the 139 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: luck rankings is we'll be able to catch up just 140 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: as fast, if not faster, than maybe the other sports 141 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: betters or the books because we're always staying on top 142 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: of these trends of how expected scores and actual scores. 143 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: But one thing that's not going to change is luck. Right, 144 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: if you should have scored more and you didn't, or 145 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,559 Speaker 1: if you should have scored less, you know, those things 146 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: will still tend to play out over time. So I think, 147 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: you know, we'll be right on the ball there, So 148 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: even if overall scores have gone up or down on 149 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: the luck factor will still remain not stillborn. 150 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 3: I appreciate about people like you that appreciate math but 151 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 3: quickly to just to respond to what you said, what 152 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 3: would prompt you to make a change, like, what would 153 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 3: what would it take? 154 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: Just sustained differences between actual and expected scores. I think, 155 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: if it's sustained and we see reasons for it being sustained, 156 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: things like we've talked about with the too high safety trends, 157 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: more rushing, fewer overall plays. If those things are sustained 158 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: and they affect things like explosive play rates and success 159 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: rates are no longer indicative of predicted performance or less 160 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: less of predictive of future performance simply because success rate 161 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: is less meaningful because the successes are smaller. Then I 162 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: think that it would just prompt the change. But it 163 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: has to be sustained and there has to be reasons 164 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: for it. 165 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 3: So using the luck rankings, and I want Brandon to 166 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 3: chime in on this after you give give out the 167 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: he's I think this this first one won't surprise many. 168 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 3: I think based on some of the screenshots I saw 169 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 3: online last night that are annoying people. They're getting a 170 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 3: lot of breaks like the Patriots did and their dynasty 171 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 3: run which teams, based on the luck rankings are lucky, 172 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 3: which teams are unlucky, And can you explain about why 173 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 3: that is the case for each of those teams. 174 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll start right at the top. Chiefs enter 175 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: week four as the luckiest team. They were the luckiest 176 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 1: team after week three, I say, after week two, entering 177 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: week three as well. 178 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 3: And we know the record. Nick is not just going 179 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 3: back to likely and the non PI call. There's a 180 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 3: lot that goes into this. He's not just whining about calls, right. 181 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, Well, it has nothing to do with calls. 182 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: It just has to do with the fact that based 183 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: off the expected scores of these games, they should have 184 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: lost week one versus the Ravens. We had I think 185 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: the Ravens about a point and a half better in 186 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: our expected scores. From the data, we had Cincinnati by 187 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: about a point over the Chiefs, and they won both 188 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: of those games. So, going to and Zho, realistically you 189 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 1: should be fifty to fifty means you're at fifty percent luck. 190 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 1: If you're one hundred percent winner versus fifty percent should 191 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: be winning. Our luck rankings use record versus expected record, right, 192 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: and so, and there's another way we can look at 193 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: luck rankings, which is scoring versus actual scoring versus expected scoring. 194 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: That is a different luck percentage that I also keep 195 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: in the background. I've actually found that record has been 196 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: more indicative of successful betting with the luck rankings. Interesting enough, 197 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: and then Week three against Atlanta, you know, they played 198 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: a close game. It was a one score game. They 199 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: should have won. They should have won by about as 200 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: much as they did. But that just means again, there's 201 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: still half a win above expectation something like that. Well, 202 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: I shouldn't say half a win more than that. They 203 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: they have. They're three to zero and they should have 204 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: won you know, around one and a half of these games, 205 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: little more than one and a half of these games, 206 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: because they've all essentially been coin flips and they've won three. 207 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 3: Right now, second second unlock luckiest team is ho unlucky. 208 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, so the Bengals on the flip side, who the 209 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: Chiefs of course played in Week two, are the second 210 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: most unlucky. They dropped into our bottom three this week 211 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: after that loss to the Washington Commanders, which they should 212 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 1: have lost by our expected score, but only by one point, 213 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: not by five. But a lot of it also has 214 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: to do with the loss versus the Chiefs, which was unlucky, 215 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: as we talked about, and in Week one they lost 216 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: to the Patriots in a game they definitely got unlucky, 217 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: and our expected score still had the Patriots winning, but 218 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: by a very close margin instead of the six point 219 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: margin not the Patriots one. 220 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 3: Okay, and then the last one. Oh man, Well, will 221 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 3: Levis I think has contributed to some of this as far. 222 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: As uh yeah, yeah. My note in here is holy hell, 223 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: stop giving up defensive and special team scores, because the 224 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: Titans have given up three of those now, one on 225 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: a blocked punt that turned into a touchdown and two 226 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: will Levis turnovers into scores. Per Pro Football Focus, will 227 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: Levis has only had three turnover worthy plays is year. 228 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: Two of them have been touchdowns for the opposing team, right, 229 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: So that's just not sustainable. That's if you throw twenty 230 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: turnover worthy plays in a season, maybe two or three 231 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: of them tend to be pick sixes. He's already had 232 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: two or three of them in the first couple of 233 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: weeks here, so certainly just some bad turnover luck. He 234 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: is going to be a guy that will be on 235 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: the higher turnover side of things. And that's all accounted 236 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: for in the underlying data, but just the fact that 237 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: they've been returned for scores is you know, and then 238 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: the block punt as well has just been really unlucky. 239 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 3: Brandon. I think this kind of reflects back to what 240 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 3: you sit off the top about long year kitchen sink week. Now, 241 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 3: you've got to keep it in perspective when you using 242 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 3: nick is kind of a jumping off point with the 243 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 3: luck rankings. How does that as a better now keep 244 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 3: you grounded? 245 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think for me what's interesting is thinking about 246 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 4: playing week to week versus playing future. So we know, 247 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 4: I'm like the big futures guy. And so with the Chiefs, 248 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 4: you've got you gotta anowedge Chiefs and Bengals, both sides 249 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 4: of the equation here where Okay, I probably shouldn't be 250 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 4: thinking about the Chiefs as this like high flying three 251 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 4: and oh two time Super Bowl champion juggernaut right now, 252 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 4: that's not how they're playing, however, they are. In fact 253 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 4: three and oh. It's a binary sport either win or lose. 254 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 4: I mean they get like a tie once a season, 255 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 4: but you pretty much either win or lose. And like, 256 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 4: so I have an article up today as we've got 257 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 4: five three and oh teams, So my article of Action 258 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 4: Network is okay, which of the three and oh teams 259 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 4: might still not make the postseason? The numbers gonna vary 260 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 4: because the postseason is shifting. Effectively, about one in three 261 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 4: three and oh teams tend to still miss the playoffs. 262 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: It's not gonna be the Chiefs. 263 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 4: They're three and oh against the Ravens and the Bengals 264 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 4: and the Falcons, which right now doesn't seem great because 265 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 4: those teams aren't winning. But when we look back at 266 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 4: the end of the season, that's gonna be the toughest 267 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 4: stretch of the season. They should have lost at least 268 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 4: one of the games, maybe two already. Like Nick by 269 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 4: your formula, they could being three right like, they are 270 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,239 Speaker 4: not so far from zero to three versus three and oh, 271 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 4: but they're not. So I need to think about the 272 00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 4: Chiefs a little less week to week and maybe not 273 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 4: think that they're juggernauts blowing teams out, but at a 274 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 4: future standpoint, they're three to zero with the luck in 275 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 4: their favor however they got there. You can be mad 276 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 4: if you want, but like Patrick Mahomes, MVP stock has 277 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 4: to be up, not because he's playing well, but because 278 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 4: we picked quarterbacks from teams that win a lot, and 279 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 4: the Chiefs win a lot. And guess what, they still 280 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 4: got two Broncos games, two Raiders games, two Chargers games, 281 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 4: one of them this week against the Corps of the 282 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 4: Chargers whoever they have left or roll out. So that's 283 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,119 Speaker 4: the Chiefs side. On the other side with the Bengals 284 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 4: are the Bengals oh and three team? Well, no, the 285 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 4: Bengals are much better team than they look right now. 286 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 4: They've had terrible fumble lock, they've had terrible kicking lock, 287 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 4: like everything has gone against them. Also, yes, the Bengals 288 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 4: are owing three because that's what the standings say. They 289 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 4: have lost the games. And historically last week with the 290 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 4: kitchen sink thing, we talked about, you gotta win in 291 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 4: week three. You can't go to to three. Your chances 292 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 4: of making the playoffs at oh to three are like 293 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 4: nearly zero. Historically, it's barely ever happened. The Bengals are, 294 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 4: in fact one to three. I have to treat them 295 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 4: like they're not a postseason team until they actually make 296 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 4: the postseason. That's what I have to assume. That doesn't 297 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 4: mean you have to bet them week to week. I 298 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 4: think they're much better team than they look week to week. 299 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 3: So it's both. 300 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 4: And I think too, as you follow picks in the 301 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 4: app or see how things come in, you can be 302 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 4: on a Bengals side and you can still be fading 303 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 4: the Bengals futures both at the same time. So I 304 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 4: think for me, that's where the luck rankings come in 305 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 4: and say, okay, well, well, how do anything about this 306 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 4: team now? But also what are the actual results that 307 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 4: we have for later and how do they tally up 308 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 4: for futures? 309 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 3: Interesting? And yeah, the article NFL Predictions Futures picks ranking 310 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 3: which undefeated teams could miss the playoffs, and he talks 311 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 3: about all five of them. Ye spoiler alert. 312 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 4: I'm not a big fan of the Steelers right now. 313 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 4: So the question is really when, not if, we should 314 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 4: be fading Pittsburgh. You can take a look at that 315 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 4: from ore. 316 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: Thir Weirs third luckiest team in our Love bankings the 317 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh You're red in my mind. And to Brandon's point, 318 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: when we get around week five, six seven, when enough 319 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: teams have had five six seven games, right then we 320 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: can really start strength to schedule adjusting because to Brandon's point, 321 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: the Chiefs faced a tough schedule and they'll face an 322 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: easier schedule when we get the strength adjusted strength, the 323 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: schedule adjusted expected scores, that's when it really kicks in 324 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: and I love start starting to bet futures again rest 325 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: of season futures. I love that, and that's how we 326 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 1: can use the luck rankings for that. 327 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 3: Our sister company, Playmaker, just released a new podcast that 328 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 3: we're already enjoying over here at Action Network.

What are we 352 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 3: seeing this week? Unders have been hitting at a very 353 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 3: high rate, so I think that might be at the 354 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 3: top of mind for better's tuning in. So with that 355 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 3: in mind, but you did say the offense was better 356 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 3: in week three, better quarterback play, So how are we 357 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 3: meshing that together? And it goes back to expected scoring. 358 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a messy one. Normally this is where 359 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: totals would kick in and we'd be betting some luckovers 360 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: or some luck unders, depending on if these teams should 361 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: have had been in higher scoring games than they were 362 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: or should have been in lower scoring games than they were. 363 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: Then you know, trend towards and under. But with expected 364 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: scores not matching actual scores, a complete total shift. It 365 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,080 Speaker 1: makes me a little nervous. So I have both the 366 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: old version of expected scores and the twenty twenty four 367 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: version of expected scores in there. And what I think 368 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 1: we can do safely is if I'm using the twenty 369 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: twenty four version of expected scores, which are lower to 370 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 1: match the lower actual scoring, and we're still showing undervalue 371 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: based off of the luck unders, then we can safely 372 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: bet the under. I think right, because I've already just 373 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: them down and it's saying you should still go lower 374 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: than that, and maybe books haven't caught up enough to 375 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: the under trends. Then I feel like we can safely 376 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: bet it under even if the league returns to previous 377 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: rates of scoring and sustainableness. We have such a buffer there. 378 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 1: We're going under on a kind of artificial under that 379 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: I've made with the expected scores, so we have a 380 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: lot of buffer for if these offenses improve, we can 381 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: still hit the under. 382 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 3: We have five totals under forty this week Tennessee, Miami, Cleveland, Vegas, 383 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 3: Kansas City Chargers. Wow, it's under forty, Patriots, Niners, Rams, 384 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 3: Bears is at forty and a half now, Colt Steelers, which, Brandon, 385 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: you've been on top of that one for a while 386 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 3: now going back a few weeks and then uh, Denver Jets. Okay, 387 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 3: maybe it's more than five, maybe it's six. Okay, all right, 388 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 3: anything the way in there, Brandon as far as totals, 389 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 3: because Brandon Anderson got the you know, one of the 390 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,959 Speaker 3: hottest guys of the company right now, he got his 391 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 3: this whole season straightened out thanks to betting some unders. 392 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, the unders definitely have gone well. I was just 393 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 4: looking as you were talking, Nick, to see what the 394 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 4: total is for that Monday night Titans and Dolphins game. 395 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 4: I don't know if we're gonna get there in our 396 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 4: rundown here, but I have my eye on that one 397 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 4: only because I'm wondering who exactly plays quarterback for the Dolphins. 398 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 4: And I don't know that this necessarily will carry over, 399 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 4: but I think maybe the quarterback will be Tyler Huntley 400 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 4: because Skyler Thompson's not healthy and we were out of options. 401 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 4: Tyler Huntley, last we forget, is a pro bowler. Don't 402 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 4: forget Tyler Huntley is a pro bowler, which is ridiculous. 403 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 4: Tyler Huntley Unders are eight and one all time. They 404 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 4: average under thirty two points a game. Combine for the teams. Now, 405 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 4: look those are with the Ravens. I don't get the 406 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 4: Ravens defense in this game, but I do get Will 407 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 4: Levis and maybe Tyler Huntley if we go that direction. 408 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 4: So I do see there's some thirty seven and a 409 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 4: half's out there. Thirty seven is the last key number 410 00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 4: we get going down, So I think that that under 411 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 4: could be interesting. Nick, does that one come up in 412 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 4: the luck unders at all? Right now? 413 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 1: It does? It is the second most luck under right now. 414 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 1: I think a lot of it is Will Levis gifting 415 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: pick sixes to the other teams, scoring that shouldn't have 416 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: been there, right, and the block punt things like that. 417 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: So this game actually has, with the newly adjusted expected scores, 418 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: a luck total of minus nine point six. Typically we 419 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: say anything below minus five is a luck under. So 420 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: this is the second most luck under on the already 421 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: downward adjusted expected scores. 422 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 3: Real quick, before we move on from luck. As much 423 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 3: as I love the luck conversation, what else besides betting 424 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 3: sides and totals can we utilize? Because Nick, you do, 425 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 3: you dive into some niche markets, which is which makes 426 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 3: it a lot of fun to follow you in the 427 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 3: Action network app. So what are some other things that 428 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 3: folks can use the luck rankings for to capitalize on markets? 429 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, team totals. Of course, if we have luck team totals, 430 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: which which is you know how much these teams should 431 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: be scoring above or below expectation based off the matchup 432 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: they have that week, we can do player props, right 433 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: if a team is the perfect one was Caleb Williams 434 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: this week. I took over thirty and a half passing attempts. 435 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: He threw over fifty because we had the Indianapolis Colts 436 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 1: as the unlucky team versus the Bears, so we had 437 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: Indy more likely to cover versus the Bears, more likely 438 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: to lead, meaning passing game script for the Bears. And 439 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 1: so you can translate that into Caleb Williams needing to 440 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: pass more than expectation. So you can use player props 441 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: for it highest and lowest scoring games. We just talked 442 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: about luck totals, right. Billy Ward our Predictive Analytics Colleague 443 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: Weeks one in week two hit the highest scoring game 444 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: seven to one in week one ten to one in 445 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: week two. We had a luck signal on the week 446 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: two games specifically, so I was also on that with 447 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: him highest scoring game in Week two hit at ten 448 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: to one, So all sorts of things. And I have 449 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: an overtime I like to use. And when the underdog 450 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: team is the also the unlucky team, they're more likely 451 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: to cover, more likely to make it close. Overtime ends 452 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: up showing more value. So you know, that's always a 453 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: fun one, like a fifteen to one twelve to one 454 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: type market that I love playing every once in a 455 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 1: while when the model shows value. 456 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 3: Okay, real quick before I'm putting you on the spot 457 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 3: a little bit here, so forgive me any luck plays 458 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 3: that you want to give here on the show before 459 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 3: we move on. 460 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: I like that luck under that Tennessee and Miami that 461 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: Brandon was talking about for Monday Night Football. Haven't gotten 462 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: through everything yet, right, you know, Monday Night Football just 463 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: ended last night. I instantly updated the luck rankings when 464 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: the data came out, and because I'm on Pacific time, 465 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to dive in this morning. 466 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 4: No problem. 467 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 3: This again is it's Tuesday morning and Nick, he's West 468 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 3: Coast time Tuesday afternoon for our cases, myself and Brandon, 469 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 3: So all good, no problem. Just want to be sure 470 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 3: we have all this luck talk that there's something there. 471 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 3: We'll give it out again. This is our round table episode. 472 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 3: It's kind of getting into the weeds from what we 473 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 3: just saw and trying to wrap our heads around what 474 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 3: is expected this week. Brandon. We did the recap episode 475 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 3: on Sunday evening and the wee hours into Monday, and 476 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 3: I felt kind of bad because Evan Abrams, our director 477 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 3: of research and media, does a great job. We split 478 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 3: up all the games, Nick and I allowed Evan to 479 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 3: talk about the Carolina Raiders game, and we were short 480 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 3: on time or moving along. I really didn't give Brandon 481 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 3: a chance to weigh in on the Island resort maybe 482 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 3: getting some positive reviews. They looked like the Panthers looked 483 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 3: like a real franchise for the first time in forever. 484 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 3: Dave Canalis with Andy Dalton, who looked awesome slinging it 485 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 3: all over the yard. The team Carolina claims that Young's 486 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 3: Bryce Young's benching is temporary. It's a temporary timeout. How 487 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 3: many games do they need to lose to return to 488 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 3: Bryce Young without causing a riot? Brandon? 489 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 4: I mean, I think that the fact that Bryce Young 490 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 4: is in trade rumors right now probably speaks for itself, 491 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 4: so I think that it's Andy Dalton's team until proven otherwise. 492 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,679 Speaker 4: These are only three hundred and three touchdown game of 493 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 4: the year. Well, I'm not sure if that's still true 494 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 4: after last night. I'm gonna guess we had some big 495 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 4: performances on Monday night, but Dalton had a big game. 496 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 4: Chewba Hobbard at one hundred and almost seventy yards combined 497 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 4: two scores. Dante Johnson looked like a receiver. Games like, 498 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 4: oh hey, look, competent quarterback play. How about that Panthers 499 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 4: Island one game out of the division After all that, 500 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 4: I don't know. The Saints lose, the Falcons lose, and 501 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 4: the Buccaneers lose. 502 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 3: We're there. 503 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 4: A week ago. We bet them at two hundred to 504 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 4: one to win the division. It's down to twenty five 505 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 4: to one. 506 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: Now. 507 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 4: That means we're still gonna lose, but we got a 508 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 4: lot better chance. Now it's only a one game back. 509 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,679 Speaker 4: We'll see. I gotta be honest, I can't get so 510 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 4: excited about Carolina yet. I think this was more about 511 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 4: the Raiders, the other team in the game that got 512 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,640 Speaker 4: absolutely plowed by the Panthers. Antonio Peers after three weeks 513 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 4: is calling dudes out for business decisions. A ton of 514 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 4: Peers after three weeks is talking about maybe benching their quarterback. 515 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 3: What in the. 516 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 4: World three weeks in, like if you've lost things that 517 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 4: badly already, and their run game in particular, and Tony 518 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 4: Pierce wants to run football like this is what their 519 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 4: identity is supposed to be. It's what they brought in 520 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 4: Luke Getzi to do. They're under thirty one percent and 521 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 4: rushing success rate that is dead last in the NFL. 522 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 4: It's about half of what the Saints are so far 523 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 4: epa per run. There are two teams below point negative 524 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 4: point twenty five epa per run. One of them is 525 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 4: the Panthers. One of them's the Raiders at negative point six' 526 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 4: four epa per. Run every time The raiders run the 527 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 4: ball three, times which is like a, series usually they 528 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 4: lose two more points chancing to win the. Game so 529 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 4: it's not. Great it's not great for The, RAIDERS i 530 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 4: gotta tell, you not great for The bengals that they 531 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 4: are only four and a half point favorites playing The 532 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 4: panthers this. Week The panthers as terrible as they've looked. 533 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: Before the. 534 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 4: Season this was six and a half on the season look, 535 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 4: ahead so not a great look for The bengals that 536 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 4: the line has dropped toward The panthers despite their terrible. 537 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 4: Start although Nick bengals luck, rankings The bengals are still 538 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 4: a lot better than The. Panthers if it's only four 539 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 4: and a half, POINTS i want to have to think 540 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 4: pretty hard about back in the zero to three team, there. 541 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,439 Speaker 1: And to your, point to your, point this is A 542 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: eleckt rankings game for The bengals being the unlucky team 543 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: under the current and the old expected score. Model so 544 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: definitely The bengals the unlucky team. HERE i will, say 545 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: though you know you mentioned they went from six and 546 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: a half to four and a. Half it probably if 547 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 1: you went and looked after week one or week two 548 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: Before Andy dalton, came and it probably went to seven 549 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: and a. Half maybe you. Know so some of this 550 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,479 Speaker 1: it was early poor play From panthers And, bryce but 551 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 1: then you add in the boost To Andy, dalton WHO i, 552 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: mean he has a adjusted net yards per attempt OF 553 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: i think it's like over seven and a half yards 554 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: for as A Carolina, panther And Bryce young was at 555 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: three point four as A Carolina, Panther so four yards 556 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 1: per play better per passing, play better For Andy dalton 557 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: Than Bryce young during their time As. Panthers, now obviously 558 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: small sample size On dalton, there but his career floor 559 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: has been a yard and a half better Than Bryce 560 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: young in his like LIKE i, said in his worst. 561 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: Season so The panthers tem This panthers seae is much 562 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,959 Speaker 1: improved With Andy. Dalton, this As brandon, said this Is 563 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,760 Speaker 1: Andy dalton's team until they're either eliminated from the playoffs 564 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: or something like. 565 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 4: That over under it was three and a half one week. 566 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 4: Ago so if we Get Andy dalton the rest of the, 567 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 4: way that is looking like it was a little bit 568 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 4: maybe free money h territory going. Forward we already got the, 569 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 4: one so we need three more to get. 570 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 3: There to five and a. Half by the, way, yes. 571 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 4: Short money for green half was a terrible. 572 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 3: Line short money on short plus money on the over 573 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 3: minus one thirty under five and a Half Andy dalton 574 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 3: against his former team at. Home that's a, math that's 575 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 3: narrative Crap Nick. Giffin so that actually transitions well to 576 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 3: our next. One If, Carolina nick isn't the worst team 577 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 3: in THE. Nfl because this is With dalton in, mind 578 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 3: you think they're much, Better so that you're, toned to, 579 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 3: me indicates that there are a few other possibilities as 580 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 3: worst teams in the. 581 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: League, yes AND i know the listeners can't see, this 582 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: but in our, OUTLINE i Have week TWO nfl tiers 583 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: In week THREE nfl. Tiers as posted By Ben baldwin On, 584 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: twitter you should definitely follow. Him he's fantastic with what 585 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: he posts his weekly. Recaps but The panthers went from 586 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: all the way down on the bottom left of the, 587 00:29:55,280 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: graph meaning completely, terrible to joining the other b on 588 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: tier teams in just one week because Of Andy. Dalton 589 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: so that's still incorporating weeks one and two. Data so 590 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: they're definitely not the worst team in THE nfl With Andy. 591 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: Dalton to, me it's. Tough we don't, know is. It you, 592 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: Know miami Without, tua If tour, returns they're not the 593 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: worst team in THE. Nfl but without, them Maybe New 594 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: england is still really. Bad that to, ME i think 595 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: that's my, answer even though they beat The bengals In week. 596 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: One The, bengals, man they're so good on, offense but 597 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: they're so bad on, Defense so you, Know Jacoby brissett 598 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: just found a way to just manage that, game and you, 599 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 1: Know cincinnati had their apparently typical slow start And New 600 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: england covered there and. Won BUT i still think it's The. 601 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: Patriots they don't have an offensive. Line Jacoby brissett has 602 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: looked like he's been injured multiple times this year and 603 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 1: still ended up. Playing they played so bad against The 604 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: jets On thursday night that they finally put In Drake 605 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: may at the end of the game there because they 606 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: were getting beat so. Bad SO i think it's The 607 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: New England. 608 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 3: Patriots, brandon who do you think is the worst team 609 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 3: in the? League is It? Carolina, yeah it's Not. 610 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 4: Carolina right, NOW i Have New england as one of my. 611 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 4: Possibilities that went over The bengals that got us all, 612 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 4: excited a little less exciting now that we've seen the 613 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,719 Speaker 4: rest of The bengals so. FAR i think The, raiders 614 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 4: who we just talked about the fact that they beat 615 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 4: The ravens is gonna look stupider and stupider the longer 616 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 4: the season goes on like that is going to just 617 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 4: be baffling the rest of the. YEAR i think still 618 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 4: The giants. Too that was the hot red Pick thursday 619 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 4: night they play The. Cowboys this is The dallas get 620 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 4: right spot for. ME i don't Think dallas is, great 621 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 4: BUT i think The giants are. Not SO i Think, Raiders, Giants, 622 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 4: patriots of, Course dolphins right now With Scaler thompson or 623 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 4: whoever they're rolling out, there you, know plenty of bad 624 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 4: teams to pick. 625 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 3: From, okay we'll do one more before we go real. 626 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 3: QUICK nfl underdogs have six plus points are now twelve 627 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 3: and one against the number through three, weeks improving the 628 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 3: best start for big dogs and RECORDED nfl betting.
