1 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. Oh everybody, and 2 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: welcome to Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. Halloween Week. It's Monday, October, 3 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: and what a weekend in sports. This was one where 4 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,439 Speaker 1: it was just like college football ramped up the Big 5 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: Ten's back. You had an incredible World Series ending Saturday 6 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: Night that was totally bananas. I was at a socially 7 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,879 Speaker 1: distanced birthday party for a buddy. We're watching in the 8 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: backyard and it was just like screaming and silence. When 9 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: the bottom of the ninth went down. It was utter madness. 10 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: And then of course you had Sunday, which was an 11 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: amazing football day, not just from a gambling standpoint. I 12 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: want to win too in fantasy and I don't even care. 13 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 1: It's like, hey, you know, you gotta lose some weeks. 14 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: The games were utterly phenomenal. Then you got the World 15 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: Series game where Clayton Kershaw delivers and the Dodgers go 16 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: up three two on the Rays. And then he had 17 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football which went to the end of overtime. 18 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: It was just back and forth madness. And I mean, 19 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 1: we listen, we got a lot to cover and um 20 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: got the best bet saved for the end of the podcast. 21 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: We're not going to get into the gambling stuff yet. 22 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: Let's start with the World Series and the Dodgers. Obviously, 23 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: we have a large audience out here in Los Angeles. 24 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: I know a lot of friends who are Dodgers fans, 25 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: and they were nervous after Saturday Night's collapse. You can 26 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: toss Rob g into the mix on that, uh, nervous 27 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: as hell after that Saturday Night collapse. And then the 28 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: Dodgers come out, get one. Mookie bets with a double 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: right off the bat, and then Boomy gets knocked in 30 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: and the Dodgers take the lead and they never relinquish it. 31 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw hangs on and listen, folks. Kershaw has been 32 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: much maligned. A lot of people have beat up on 33 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, and rightfully so. He's had some colossal postseason failures. 34 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: This postseason, he's four and one, two and oh in 35 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: the World Series. I'm not saying he's gonna win the 36 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: m v P, but he's certainly in the mix. Corey see, 37 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: I believe he's hit two home runs in the series. Um, 38 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: he's certainly gonna be in the mix of Mike Mumsey 39 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: six RBI in the series. He's certainly in there, but 40 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: you know, I can't imagine if Kershaw comes in for 41 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: one ending of relief in game six, I don't know 42 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: if that's on the table or in game seven. Yeah, 43 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: he's gonna be in the mix. UM game six Tuesday night. 44 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: I have a feeling we're gonna have a surprise guest 45 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: to talk some Dodgers, some World Series, someone who was 46 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: in the building in Texas over the weekend. So definitely 47 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: get excited for tomorrow's podcast. Um, Rob G, I know 48 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: you are a die hard Dodgers fan. You guys know 49 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: we record this on Zoom and Rob G shows up 50 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: on the Zoom with his Dodger shirt on. I didn't 51 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: get to see the number, Rob G. Any quick thoughts 52 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 1: on the Dodgers UM one game away from the first 53 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: World Series championship since nineteen Well, first off, on the 54 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: Saturday game, I don't think I've ever heard a more 55 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: dead silent city and Los Angeles, and that's including that 56 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: week long straight of lockdown that we had earlier this 57 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: year where you couldn't even go outside and get groceries. 58 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: I mean it was you could hear a pin drop. 59 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: How the way that they lost, I've never seen anything 60 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: like that, not even in my nephews seven and under 61 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: little league team. I've ever seen two errors that lead 62 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: to the game winning run. So that was incredible. And 63 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: I actually thought that going into uh Sunday night in 64 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: game five, I thought it was over. I thought that 65 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: there's no way they'll be able to mentally bounce back 66 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: from a loss like that. And just like you said, 67 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: Mookie Betts right off the top double seeker right after that, 68 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: it singles them in and it's like they kind of 69 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: got over that little hump right there. And credit to 70 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, who you and I talked before we started 71 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,839 Speaker 1: recording this. He didn't have his best stuff. Every at 72 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: bat seemed like it was a grind, and credit to 73 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: him for getting through it. I mean, I mean, the 74 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: testament to any playoff game in any sport is finding 75 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: ways to win when you don't have your best stuff, 76 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: when you're not as as sharp as you normally would be. 77 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: And and and if Kershaw was able to get over 78 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: this hump, that would be a great way to do it. Man. Yeah, 79 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: that's a great point. And you know, on a personal level, 80 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: I Basically, if my jumpers off and pick up, I'm 81 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: just I just get disappointed in myself. And I know 82 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: you gotta keep on shooting, and you do, but then 83 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: you gotta I gotta play extra hard defense, you know, 84 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta do something, make that extra pass 85 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: set of screen. I mean, Kershaw was deep in his 86 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: bag and I thought he was great. Um, and he 87 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: got the win. That's all the matters. Dodgers advance. I 88 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: gotta say a quick word on Sunday Night Football. But 89 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: first of all, I gotta remind you guys, this is 90 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: giveaway week. Okay.

Get your Benjamin all right quickly. 108 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: On Sunday Night football, UM, you guys know I love 109 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. I'm in the tank for Kyler Murray in Arizona. 110 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: In the off season, I predicted Arizona would be a 111 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: playoff team. I bet their futures. I bet Kyler Murray 112 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: to win m v P. That look good early then 113 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: got derailed. What a freaking comeback by Kyler Murray Sunday night. 114 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: He's just dynamic and electric to watch down ten with 115 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: three minutes left, they forced overtime. And of course, if 116 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 1: you if you had Arizona plus three and a half, 117 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: you were cool with the loss. You didn't want overtime. Um, 118 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: they get it overtime anyway. Russ wins, the UM wins 119 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: the coin toss and you're like, oh, Russell Wilson overtime automatic, 120 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: and I gotta say vance. Joseph, the defensive coordinator for Arizona, 121 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: dialed up two disguised blitzes and they sacked Russ and 122 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, Arizona gets the ball back, 123 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 1: and of course, you know, then Seattle gets the ball 124 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: back um and Russ thos a crazy interception picked off 125 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: by Isaiah Simmons, the rookie from Clemson, and it's weird, guys. Listen, 126 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: this goes out to not just sports fans, but people 127 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: struggling to fit in, whether it's work with friends, whatever. 128 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: Isaiah Simmons is really talented player and they don't know 129 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: what to do with him. In Arizona. They were gonna 130 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: make him a hybrid. Can he play safety, slash linebacker? 131 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: Can he be an edge rusher? Can he be a 132 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: middle linebacker, a week side linebacker. They don't know where 133 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: to put him. And he struggled to get on the 134 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: field and they had him on the field in overtime 135 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: and because of his quickness, he was at the line 136 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: for the blitz. He faked it, dropped back into coverage. 137 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: Rust did not read it and he picked him off. 138 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,679 Speaker 1: Arizona goes down and gets the field goal and wins 139 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: the game. But just stick with it, man. There's a 140 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: lot of people out there whose bosses don't know how 141 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: to use them. And I've told the story a million 142 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: times and I don't want to get too derailed. Bradley Cooper, 143 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 1: the great actor. Okay, um, he was like a frat 144 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 1: guy in a bunch of movies and the party guy 145 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: who does all these movies. And then he transitioned a 146 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: little bit too tough guy and he did I think 147 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: it was American Sniper, an amazing movie, and he was 148 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: like military tough guy, and nobody wanted to give him 149 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: any other roles. And he he went in and said, listen, 150 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,239 Speaker 1: I can play the leading role, and I can direct, 151 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get Lady Gaga and this movie is 152 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: gonna kick but and you know, nobody would give him 153 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: this opportunity. And finally someone was like, all right, you 154 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: convinced us, Bradley Cooper, go do this. And what happens 155 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: Bradley Cooper goes out and makes this movie with Lady Gaga. 156 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: That was I mean, it's INCREDI boy, I don't I'm 157 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: sure some people can be like, oh, come on, a 158 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 1: star is Boy and that's cheesy, that's a third over remake. 159 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: The movie is awesome and Bradley Cooper's phenomenal, and he 160 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: showed them, Man, I can do I can fit other rules. 161 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: You gotta just try me in that position. People are 162 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: afraid to try stuff. And Arizona is gonna continue to 163 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: tinker with Isaiah Simmons and figure it out. And it 164 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: worked in overtime. And I just I love what I 165 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: saw at Arizona. This is a playoff team. They're in 166 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: the toughest division in the NFL. They've taken down San 167 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: France and now they take down Seattle. That's impressive. Rams 168 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: have a big one Monday Night in that NFC West Again, 169 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: that's in the best bet. You'll have to wait for 170 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: that later. Um, But I think the biggest story in 171 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: sports today. I don't want to say this the wrong way, 172 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: but it's undeniable to me, UM that Tom Brady made 173 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: one of the best decisions of his career leaving Bill 174 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: Belichick and going to Tampa Bay. And a lot of 175 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: people question, why would you know two decades of success 176 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,839 Speaker 1: with Balichick, you won I don't know. You bet the 177 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: nine Super Bowls? I mean, are you sick of winning? 178 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: I think Tom Brady won six Super Bowls with New England. 179 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: That's all Bill Belichick does. He wh Why would you 180 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 1: leave that? People question Brady. And we're now seven weeks 181 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: into the season. New England has lost three in a row. 182 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: And this is the stat that you're gonna see everywhere 183 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: on Monday. New England quarterbacks. Remember they had Tom Brady 184 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: for two decades. New England quarterbacks three touchdown passes, eleven picks. 185 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: Tom Brady in Tampa eighteen touchdowns, four interceptions. And some 186 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: of this is on Bill Belichick's ego, Folks, it is. 187 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: I'm not bashing Belichick. He's a genius. But I think 188 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: what we're seeing is how much did Tom Brady cover 189 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,079 Speaker 1: up the stench of the Patriots Last year? They won 190 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: twelve games, and you look at them now when it's 191 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: largely the same team. I know they lost several guys 192 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: to COVID and a couple of free agents. They're gonna 193 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: go from twelve wins to like five. And you talk 194 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: about greatness and Tom Brady and the best quarterback ever, 195 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: and you watch the clinic, he put on the Raiders Sunday. 196 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: I mean, he was unstoppable. And I tweeted this out 197 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: and a couple of people that cover the NFL sent 198 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 1: me the d m um, I bet you. At halftime, 199 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: Tom Brady up on the Vegas Raiders was asking, you know, 200 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: some ball boy or something, Hey, can you get me 201 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: out of the Patriots score? Because they got their butts kicked, 202 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: they got destroyed by the forty Niners. I mean, Kyle 203 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: Shanahan went in there, and Kyle Shanahan apparently owns Bill Belichick. 204 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: You know the story. Kyle Shanahan's father is Mike Shanahan. 205 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: Him and Belichick are tight. And of course one of 206 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: the um underlying you know stories was when Brady and Belichick, uh, 207 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: we're cozy. Belichick went in drafted Jimmy Garoppolo and Brady 208 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: was pissed. And then Brady of course went on to 209 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: win the m v P I think a year later 210 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: or two years, and then he went to Craft and said, Yo, 211 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: what is this crap? I want to play till I'm 212 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 1: forty five. Get this kid out of here. And Kraft said, 213 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: all right, Tom, you're my guy. And Kraft then said 214 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,280 Speaker 1: to Belichick, you gotta trade Jimmy g and Belichick didn't 215 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: want to do that because Belichick, you don't listen to nobody. 216 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: He's Bill Belichick. Belichick. You know his his father spent 217 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 1: I think it was what thirty some odd years thirty 218 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: four years at the Naval Academy. So that's the kind 219 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: of household the Big Belichick grew in. Grew up in. 220 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: You know, the Armed forces mentality, I am the general, 221 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: you are the lieutenant. You listen to me. It's my 222 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: way or the highway. That's one of my dad's favorite sayings. Ever, 223 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: I hated it growing up. He does listen to this podcast, 224 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: so he's gonna hear it. He's not he was never 225 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: in the Armed forces, but that was his mentality. I'm 226 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: the general, you're the lieutenant. Fall in line. And you know, 227 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: Belichick treated Brady like anybody else on the Patriots. In 228 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: the film room, We've had people come on this podcast 229 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: and say, yeah, man, who cares how many Super Bowls 230 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: Bradies won. Belichick would light him up in the film 231 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: room that I could go get a quarterback here at 232 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: local quarterback you high high school, and he can make 233 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: that out pass. Brady, you gotta make that pass in 234 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: front of everybody. This is the greatest quarterback in NFL history. 235 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: And of course we talked about at Giselle and Brady 236 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: then went to Craft and they were piste off about 237 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: it and and end up of course Brady leaving. But 238 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: when Belichick traded Jimmy G, he didn't try to get 239 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: what he could on the market for Jimmy G. He 240 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 1: wanted him a kid he liked a lot of talented 241 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: kid he liked in a system that he trusted that 242 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: would turn him into a good quarterback. So where did 243 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: he go. Well, he knew Kyle Shanahan because he had 244 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: many battles with Mike Shanahan, the great longtime Broncos coach. 245 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: And you know Kyle Shanahan is a smart kid. So 246 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 1: he gave Kyle Shanahan Jimmy G. At least that's the story. 247 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: Belichick would never I don't think it had met any 248 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: of that. Um. Belichick never talks anyway. But Bill sitting 249 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: here left with nothing. And again some of this is 250 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: his ego. Remember this, before they got Cam Newton. This 251 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: is a guy who was ready to start Stidham. And 252 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: we've seen in limited action Stidhams he's not ready for 253 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: prime time. And Josh McDaniels, Yeah, who's taking that guy 254 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator? Cam looked great for two games 255 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: and he threw three picks. Sunday. Cam Newton was terrible, 256 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: spraying the ball all over the field like a water sprinkler. 257 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: I mean it was terrible. Cam Newton looked awful. I 258 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: don't know if he's long as the starter in New England. 259 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: And Belichick his ego. Remember Rob Gronkowski up and retired 260 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: and Brady was still on the team, and of course 261 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: Brady is like, are we gonna replace Gronk? We gonna 262 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: get somebody a free agency, Nope, getting anybody in the draft, Nope, 263 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: don't need him. That was Belichick's mentality. Gronkowski surface and uh, 264 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: I believe he caught a touchdown past Sunday against other Raiders. 265 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: He said, two really good games in a row, and 266 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: just think about this. Gronk would rather have retired and 267 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 1: play under Belichick. Then he saw Brady goes to Tampa. 268 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: I'm ready to play again. Listen. I know Belichick smart, 269 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: this won't last forever. But Bill Belichick has really made 270 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: misstep after misstep in the last two years. It's undeniable. 271 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: You can't argue that he has made He never replaced Gronk. 272 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: He thought they could just plug and play any of 273 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: these skill position players, and let's be honest, none of 274 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 1: them have delivered none. I mean Nikkil Harry, he got hurt. Uh. 275 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: They tried Antonio Brown last year, and we didn't get 276 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: a chance to talk about Antonio Brown today. I guess 277 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: we'll get to a midweek. He's of course going to 278 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers and embarrassment of riches in Tampa. You know, 279 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: Brady's gotta be geeked think about Look at the guys 280 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: he was throwing to last year in New England. Julian Edelman, Okay, 281 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: good player, Hall of famer probably, but he's old. He 282 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: was like thirty four, and Nikkill Harry and a bunch 283 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: of guys. I don't know. I couldn't even tell you 284 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: the tight end of the Patriots in twenty nineteen. And 285 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 1: now in Tampa, he's got Godwin, he's got Mike Evans, 286 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: Scottie Miller, who had a monster game against the Raiders 287 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: out of the slot, and now you pick up Antonio Brown. 288 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and they got grunk at tight end and 289 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: Cameron brad who's been good like Tom Brady, is in 290 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: a perfect spot. And folks, I'm telling you right now, 291 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: Bucks are the team to beat in the NFC. I 292 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: don't think that should surprise anybody. They are loaded, They've 293 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: got a much better defense in Seattle. It's not even close. 294 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: And the offense once they get rolled in, I mean, 295 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: for Net just returned Ronald Jones looks good. They got 296 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: Shady McCoy. Um, this is a Tampa team that's stacked. Now, 297 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: I will say, and I don't want to get too 298 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: much into it right now. I think it's a midweek topic. 299 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep an eye on Bruce Arians versus Tom 300 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: Brady because something I heard Bruce Arians say Sunday after 301 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: the game, first time he had really talked about Antonio Brown. 302 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: I wrote it down in my notes because guys, I 303 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: am a major nerd when it comes to Sunday football. 304 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: I um, I hibernate in uh my office. I watch 305 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: all the games. I'm following everything. And essentially Bruce Arians said, 306 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: oh yeah, no, no, um, that wasn't a Tom Brady decision. 307 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: His exact words were, uh, Antonio Brown is an insurance 308 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: policy and Tom Brady had no input, nothing to do 309 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: with the Antonio Brown signed. That's total garbage. That is 310 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: balder dash. And what's weird is that Bruce Arians is 311 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: saying that now when everybody and their mom knows that 312 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is gonna come and live with Tom Brady. 313 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: The story over the weekend was that Tom Brady had 314 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: um rob g who's that guy, Tony Robbins. He had 315 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: Tony Robbins speak to Antonio Brown about getting his act together. 316 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: That's all because of Tom Brady, and Tom Brady had 317 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: nothing to do with this. So Bruce Arians, you know, listen, man, 318 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: these football coaches have egos. Belichick has a colossal ego. 319 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: And if you don't think Brucey Arians has a major ego, 320 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you don't know football. This is a I 321 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: who Now he's gonna say, oh, yeah, you know, it's 322 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: an insurance policy Antonio Brown. Go look two months ago 323 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: what he said, we don't need Antonio Brown in this 324 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: locker room. Our locker room is good. What Tom Brady wants, 325 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,399 Speaker 1: Tom Brady gets. And again, this is not an issue 326 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,919 Speaker 1: Arians verse Brady not an issue. Now, it doesn't matter. 327 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 1: It's fine, everything's fine. They're winning they're rolling, they're they're 328 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: the best team in the NFC. But the second something 329 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: goes awry, there's a loss. Uh, you know, they make 330 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: two losses in a row. But they have an easy 331 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: schedule because they weren't a playoff team last year. But 332 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 1: as soon as something goes awry, let's just monitor arians 333 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: verse Brady. But for now, folks, you guys all have 334 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 1: all had friends who had a break up with a 335 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: girlfriend and one of the parties takes it hard and they, 336 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, they don't want to go out, and they 337 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: just bumps on a log and they're just down in 338 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: the dumps. And the other party's like, I'm free, baby, 339 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: let's cut loose. Who's ready to go out? I'm up 340 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: in the club three nights a week, you know. And 341 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: that Tom Brady, he is the big winner here in Belichick. 342 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: It's a tough loss right now for Bill Belichick. The 343 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: Patriots do not look like a good football team. And 344 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, you can uh, you can 345 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: book this. If the Buffalo Bills beat the Patriots on Sunday, 346 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: and that will be the nail and the coffin for 347 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: the Patriots this season. That'll be it. Now they might 348 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: show up against Buffalo. Buffalo look very sleepy against the Jets, 349 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: as predicted, the Jets cover for the first time this year, 350 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: and Buffalo again they did not look impressive. But I 351 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: mean if they if the Bills didn't look impressive in 352 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 1: eighteen ten with six field goal win over the Jets, 353 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: how the hell do you characterize New England losing thirty 354 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,959 Speaker 1: three to six at home to Jimmy Garoppolo and company. 355 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: I mean the Patriots now back to back weeks have 356 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,679 Speaker 1: looked like total do do and it's an uphill climb 357 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: for Bill Belichick. All right, let's quickly. You know we're 358 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: not gonna go through every game. But Sunday had within 359 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: like a five minute span too, were the craziest endings ever. 360 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: I want to start Brown's Bengals. Um, you know I 361 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: gave out Browns on the podcast. I had them in 362 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 1: the contest. But the problem the contest is they were 363 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 1: three and a half and Baker Mayfield started the game 364 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: over five with an interception, and on the interception, Odell 365 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: Beckham goes running back to make the tackle and like 366 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: twists and ankle messes up something. It might be an 367 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: a c L. We probably will find out early today. 368 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: But it don't look good for Odell Beckham. So he's 369 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: out of the game and right out of the shoot. 370 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 1: Everybody's like, and I gotta be honest, it's like, all right, 371 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,199 Speaker 1: are we gonna say, is this the game where we 372 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: see case keenum? But Baker Mayfield delivered. He started the 373 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: game over five After that, Baker Mayfield the rest of 374 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 1: the game twenty two of twenty three with five touchdown passes. Now, 375 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: I know it's the Bengals and they were down there 376 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: number one cornerback and the Bengal secondary stinks, But Baker 377 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: put on a clinic and I think a takeaway will 378 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: be listen to if you hear anybody say this, Oh, 379 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 1: without Baker Mayfield, life is easier. You don't have to 380 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: worry about feeding the diva the football. A lot of 381 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: people will say that. I'm sure it makes sense. Um. 382 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: His two big receivers were some guy named Higgins who's 383 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: not in your fantasy in your fantasy league. He's on 384 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: the open market. I would get him, and uh Harrison Bryant, 385 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: the tight end who caught two touchdowns, replacing Austin Hooper 386 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 1: who had I guess an appendicitis randomly and then a 387 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: kid from Michigan, Donovan People's Jones had a huge game. 388 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: So Baker, operating from a mostly clean pocket all day, 389 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: Bengals can't get pressure to save their lives. Baker was 390 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 1: not sacked. And when he's in a clean pocket and 391 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: he's not on the run, Baker's gonna kill some people. 392 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: And he put up big, big numbers. And just remember 393 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: that if Baker is not facing pressure, he's gonna annihilate. 394 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 1: And Baker is facing a little tease to week eate 395 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: the raid is And did the Raiders sacked Tom Brady Sunday? No? 396 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: Do the Raiders pressure anybody? No? Do the Raiders blitz 397 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,719 Speaker 1: a lot? I don't think so. It's shaping up as 398 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 1: a good Week eight for Baker Mayfield against the Raiders 399 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: secondary all right, I was a bit of a tease ahead, 400 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: but at any rate. Um in the fourth quarter of 401 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: Brown's Bengals there were five go ahead touchdowns first time 402 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: in NFL history. It was such a back and forth game. 403 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, your boy four hundred yards in a loss. 404 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: Now Burrow, they can't protect him at all. He's taken 405 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: a beating. Myles Garrett beat him up a little bit. 406 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow in two games against the Browns seven nineteen yards, 407 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: six tds, one pick, two losses by a combined eight points. 408 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: He's a good quarterback man. You go ahead touchdown with 409 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 1: the minute left and then Baker comes down the field. 410 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 1: The problem is the kicker missed the extra points, so 411 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: I didn't get the cover in the contest. I did 412 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: go three and two, and it looks like I'm gonna 413 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: be the into the top one fifty. A lot of 414 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: people had some some els in the one point four 415 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 1: million dollar contest. I guarantee you I'm gonna fight like 416 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: hell this year. I'm not going down. I will cash 417 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: in that damn tournament. All right, So Bengals, Browns and 418 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: the other game I want to touch on. Um, No, 419 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: it's not Dallas three loss with Andy Dalton getting knocked out. 420 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 1: It is Lions twenty three, Falcons twenty two. Now, I 421 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: had Lions in the contest, and this game was phenomenal 422 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: because it's the third time this season the Falcons had 423 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: a nine win probability late in the game and lost 424 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 1: lost outright. They had ninety nine against the Cowboys, lost 425 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: ninety nine point six against the Bears lost nine point 426 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: nine against the Lions lost. The game was basically dead. 427 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: Even what it came down to was the Falcons were 428 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: trying to just set up for a field goal with 429 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: like a minute left. They didn't want to score. They 430 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: wanted to warn the clockdown. So Todd Gurley I don't 431 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: know if they let him score, but Todd Gurley breaks 432 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 1: through the line of scrimmage at like the eight yard line, 433 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 1: tries to go down at the one, but his momentum 434 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: carried him in the end zone. And there's a great 435 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: picture I put on my Instagram stories as Todd Gurley 436 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: falls like it's close to the goal line. The Lions 437 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: are signaling like he's in, He's in, it's a touchdown 438 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: because they want him to score. It's one of these 439 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: crazy photos Todd Gurley's crestfallen that he actually scored, and 440 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford with like, I think he had no time 441 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,239 Speaker 1: outs in like fifty seconds, bing bang boom down the 442 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 1: field um and then with one second left through a 443 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: touchdown pass and the kicker hit the extra point. I mean, 444 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 1: it was a phenomenal comeback and listen, I got a 445 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 1: couple of Lions fans who think I'm nuts for thinking 446 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: this team is good. I'm just telling you, guys. Matt 447 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: Stafford is a damn good quarterback, Kenny Golladay is a 448 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: top six or seven receiver in the league. And the 449 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: Lions defense can ever get its act together ever, And 450 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: they had this new kid pass rushing Romeo Okwara, I 451 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: don't know who he is. Two sacks, a tackle for lost, 452 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: three quarterback hits. He really shook up Matt Ryan. And 453 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: if you can get him loose and tray hours on 454 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: the other side, I think the Lions can make a run. 455 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: I know it sounds crazy, but I really believe in 456 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: this team. That division is not good. The Viking stink, 457 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: They're terrible, Packers are really good, Bears are a little 458 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: bit of a fraudulent five. And we'll get to the 459 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: best bet shortly. Um Steelers Titans was a great game. 460 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: And first of all, let me ask you, Rob g 461 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: is there any game you want to get to? Um 462 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: on what I thought was the best Sunday in the 463 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: NFL this season. It was a fantastic sight. Even though 464 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 1: my Raiders lost most of the games as a whole, 465 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: we're good. Let me just say really quickly before I 466 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: get to there the game, I wanted to mention screwed 467 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. I hate him so much. Come on, they're 468 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 1: already winning, and that's fine. They're gonna win going away 469 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: because the Raiders defense is asked, like we talked about 470 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: several times in this podcast. But three minutes left, he's 471 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: in the shotgun throwing the ball around, like what the 472 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: hell are they doing? Like this is how much it was? 473 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: How much were they up? They were up by eighteen 474 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: points and he's in the shotgun. I'm like what, I 475 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: don't understand what they're doing, Like this is just bad 476 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: form at Bruce Arians. Oh, it's so Tom Brady can 477 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: get the cheap all time touchdown record to pass Drew Brees. 478 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: By the way, your boy cart took a couple of 479 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: hard as hits man Devin White knocked him into Next week, Yeah, 480 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: we don't We couldn't run. But that's that's just so 481 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: you know. Uh, next week, Monday Night Football, Tom Brady 482 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: against the New York Giants, Tom Brady against Danny Dimes. 483 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a blood bath because Daniel Dimes against 484 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: that that front seven. By the way, Danny Dimes over 485 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: the weekend partying with some New York giants in New 486 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: York City and there's a video of it. No masks, uh, 487 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, the COVID stuff like, it's just not a 488 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: good look. I mean, it's tough for me to say 489 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 1: to what what is Danny Dimes years old? Hey man, 490 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: don't party, dude. Come on, you know I can't be 491 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: a hypocrite. If I were twenty four, I would be 492 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,879 Speaker 1: out there trying to hook up with chicks, trying to 493 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: go to Barso who wouldn't. I know, it's a pandemic 494 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,840 Speaker 1: and you shouldn't, but you're twenty four single, I don't know. Anyway, 495 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: we go ahead really quickly. The other game that I 496 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: was really and truly going into this Sunday was a 497 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: Steelers tightens the Battle of the Beans. That game actually 498 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: was not as compelling watching it as I thought it 499 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: would be because Steelers. Yeah, Steelers got ahead early and 500 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: then the Titans were hanging around, but they weren't really 501 00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,719 Speaker 1: playing particularly well. So I wasn't, as you know, nervous 502 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: about it about the Steelers winning that game. But the 503 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: game that I want to touch on quickly with you 504 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: is the Texans and the Packers. Now everyone's gonna talk about, 505 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: you know what Davante Adams did. He was on my 506 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: fantasy team, so it was great. You know, he really 507 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,719 Speaker 1: lit up the secondary. Everybody likes to the Texas defense. 508 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: I just want to marry want you to marry it 509 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: on this thought real quick. At what point do we 510 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: start to question Deshaun Watson. I know they don't have to. 511 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: I know they got a tough schedule and other defense 512 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: is not good at all, But is he or is 513 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: he not the second highest paid quarterback in football and 514 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: his team is one and six, Like, there's only so 515 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: many excuses you can do out. Russell Wilson's defense, as 516 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,360 Speaker 1: we saw last night, is terrible. They may be one 517 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: of the worst units I've seen, you know, along with 518 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: the Cowboys in the last five, six, seven years. They 519 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: are terrible. And Texans defense, by the way, sorry Sunday, 520 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: zero sacks, one quarterback hit, and they gave up the 521 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: Packers four for four in the red zone. I mean, 522 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,959 Speaker 1: right that they're not good, But it's not just that 523 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: they're losing. It's that for the most part, they're getting 524 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: just blown out of the water early. And the only 525 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: numbers that Deshaun Woodson Watson is putting up. It feels 526 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: like to me, I gotta do a deep dive into 527 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: the stats are coming when they're well behind. So isn't 528 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: that what Dak Prescott was doing? Yeah? And I we 529 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: said before with Dak Prescott's you know, a middle to 530 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: upper middle quarterback. He's not an elite guy. He's not 531 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: an upper echeurlan guy. And Deshaun Watson probably maybe because 532 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien was such a train wreck. Again, maybe because 533 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 1: the defense isn't good, but he has escaped criticism this 534 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 1: entire season. I just don't get it. Well, I think 535 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: he goes to the playoffs every year, so you know, 536 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: just getting to the playoffs is a huge win. But 537 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the uh, you know, the roster. The 538 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: offensive line has not really delivered. Laramie tunsl the guy 539 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: they paid a ton is pretty good. Um. But yeah, 540 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: I guess you know, teams are basically just saying, hey, 541 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 1: we're not gonna let DeShawn Watson beat us. Uh, you know, 542 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: take away Will Fuller, nobody's afraid of David Johnson. Um. Yeah, 543 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: I I haven't watched them close enough. I just know 544 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: the defense is so horrific. Um. That it just doesn't matter. 545 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 1: But I guess you're onto something. You know, one in 546 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: six kind of unacceptable. They have played a brutal schedule. 547 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: Uh if you look at I mean, they're probably top 548 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: five toughest schedules so far. You know their losses are too, Uh, 549 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, Ravens Steelers, those are like three of 550 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: the six best teams in the league. Green Bay's up there, 551 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee five and one. They did beat Jacksonville, which is 552 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: a dumpster fire. They lost to Minnesota Watson. Watson's put 553 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: up over three yards in four straight games. But but 554 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: you're right, like some of these, you gotta eventually pull out. 555 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: They have a buy so um, and then they come 556 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: out and play Jacksonville. So I yeah, it will eventually 557 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 1: be okay. Um yeah, I'm a Deshaun Watson guy, so 558 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: I can't. I can't. Okay, do you mean four and 559 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: twelve or five and eleven? Well, they don't have a 560 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: first round pick. It goes to the Dolphins, which is 561 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: even uglier. I mean, that's just brutal. So um yeah, yeah, 562 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: I will have to monitor that. Shawn Watson, I still 563 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 1: think he's of him as a top ten quarterback top. Well, 564 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: that's fine. I think he's a great talent. But just 565 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: like we've we've come down hard on Carson Wentz, we 566 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: came down hard on Dak Prescott leaving put out all 567 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: these numbers. A quarterback is judged by wins, so you know, 568 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: at some point he has to wear at least some 569 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: of the Chris and not all of it, because again, 570 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 1: the defense sucks and Bill O'Brien was a train wreck. 571 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: But he he's got to wear at least a little 572 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: bit um. Alright. So the other game I quickly want 573 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 1: to touch on is is a Week eight which is 574 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: probably the marquee game. I don't know how this is 575 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,080 Speaker 1: in Sunday Night Football, but it is. The Pittsburgh Steelers 576 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: go to Baltimore. Uh, Pittsburgh the only undefeated team in 577 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: the league. It's six and out Baltimore. Awful by folks. 578 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,959 Speaker 1: I gotta say I'm stunned. Stunned at the line for 579 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: this game. Is there no respect in the market for 580 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. This opened at five and a half. 581 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: What undefeated Pittsburgh with a phenomenal defense at hell Derrick 582 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: Henry to seventy five rushing yard and is utterly dominant 583 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: through the air, other than Ben Roethlisburgh throwing two really 584 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: bad interceptions. One was a hail Mary, so ignore it. Um. 585 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: The weapons that this team has, I don't understand how 586 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: they're five and a half point dogs. That's not gonna last. 587 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm waiting to fire on this as soon as I 588 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 1: see it hit the board. I see it up in Vegas, 589 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: I'm obviously not in Vegas. Um, I will be firing 590 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: on Pittsburgh for sure at five and a half. Just 591 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: a quick note, I looked at how Lamar Jackson did 592 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: against Steelers last year. Oh, he had his worst game 593 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: of the season, sacked five times through three picks. And 594 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: now they don't have him running a lot. He's trying 595 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 1: to only win from the pocket now. Of course, the 596 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: injury to Devins is big. You know, we've seen some 597 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: leakiness in the Pittsburgh secretary to give up with like 598 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 1: a seventy five yard touchdown to a J. Brown. Listen, Hollywood, 599 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: Brown has some wheels too. But I don't see how 600 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: on earth Baltimore can be more than a three and 601 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: a half point favorite at best. So I'm definitely taking 602 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: the points with Pittsburgh next week that that's the number 603 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: one game I would look at um unless there are 604 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: some major injuries coming off the Tennessee win. But this 605 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: is a Pittsburgh team that's real deal holy Field, I 606 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 1: don't the market just doesn't respect them because of some 607 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: narrow victories. But this team, if you watch them, and 608 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: sometimes the eye test is different from the stats and 609 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 1: the analytics. I'm telling you, this is a really good 610 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh team, folks. So that wraps up Week seven and uh. 611 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: Coming up next, we will do the best bet for 612 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: Monday Night football. The only thing better than sitting on 613 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: your couch watching the game. He's making money while you 614 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: do it. Here's your best bet. Alright, it's time for 615 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: the best bet here on straight fire Monday night football, 616 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 1: Bears travel west to face the Rams, and the line 617 00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: is six early this morning out here in Los Angeles, 618 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: and folks, I just I hate doing this. This is 619 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: a big number, but I'm gonna ride with the Rams 620 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: favored by six. Part of it is because a last 621 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: week I looked at a couple of things for this 622 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: matchup individually, and one of the things that's helped me 623 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: a lot this season in in individual matchups is breaking 624 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: down the sides, and I really believe if you're able 625 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: to take Allen Robinson away from Nick Foles, he's left 626 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: with almost nothing offensively. They can't really run the football 627 00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: this year. Okay, the tight end play has been spotty, 628 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 1: and now you're essentially relying on your defense to stop 629 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 1: the Rams, who have an incredible rushing attack. And like 630 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: you wouldn't know this, but they have jettison Todd Gurley 631 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: right his injuries. He's gone. He's on with the Falcons now. 632 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: And the Rams have the number one rushing offense efficiency 633 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: wise in the NFL. I mean, that's staggering. This kid Henderson, 634 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: who played at Memphis, has been phenomenal, and the way 635 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: he's running the football, I expect a heavy, heavy ground 636 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 1: game unless they fall behind big early, which was kind 637 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: of the case against San Francisco. When you fall behind big, 638 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: you can't just keep running. You've got to throw the football. 639 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 1: And again, I'm not one of these established the run guys, 640 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: but what I look at Chicago's run defense, it is 641 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,960 Speaker 1: ranked eleventh, But have they faced any great running attacks. 642 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 1: They just haven't. That's the thing. I do believe this 643 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: is gonna be a problem for the Bears. They're kind 644 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: of soft in the middle. And if Henderson and everybody, uh, 645 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown is good, Cam Akers is a strong running back. 646 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: I mean again, these are the rushing attacks the Bears 647 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: have faced this year. They faced the Detroit Lions in 648 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: the opener. They faced the New York Giants. Uh At 649 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: s Kwan Barkley was hurt in that game. They faced 650 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 1: the Falcons, who don't have a run game. They faced 651 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: the Colts, who like to run um. They faced Tampa Bay. 652 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: Ronald Jones had a big game, and they faced Caroline, 653 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: which was without McCaffrey. And you know, they were able 654 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: to get pressure on Teddy Bridgewater. I don't know that 655 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: they'll be able to get that kind of pressure on 656 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: Golf uh Khalil Back's having a very good season. But 657 00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: I think the bigger advantage here is Aaron Donald up 658 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,080 Speaker 1: the middle on Nick Foles, if you can get fulls 659 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: out of the pocket. And Jalen Ramsey, let's say he 660 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 1: follows Allen Robinson. It's unclear if he will do that. 661 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: I just don't know where the offense comes from Chicago. 662 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: So I'm smelling like a twenty four to ten Rams win. 663 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: So I'm taking the six. By the way, folks, listen, 664 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: the best bet is on a roll. We're up to six. 665 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 1: Sunday went two oh and one, gave out Pittsburgh, which 666 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: looked incredible for three quarters and then you kind of 667 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 1: had to sweat it out. But they covered Tampa Bay, 668 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: no cover, no sweat cover by there. It was a 669 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 1: blowout at a half and the Bucks rolled. And the 670 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 1: one that really hurt folks was the push from Cleveland, 671 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:55,800 Speaker 1: and that should have been a cover. It should have 672 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: been a miracle cover. The way Baker Mayfield delivered. Um. 673 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,480 Speaker 1: We talked about it a little earlier in the podcast. 674 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield was phenomenal after that rough start. If the 675 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: kicker doesn't shank the extra point, Brown's cover and your 676 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: boys three you know so best bet now thirty six, 677 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: twenty three and five, and I'm going with the Rams 678 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: favored by six, and that'll be the pick. Talk to 679 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 1: you guys tomorrow.
