Andrew Ericksson, I'm glad the regular 29 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: season is over. How it was a weird regular season, 30 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: too many injuries, too many disappointing things. But what I 31 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: love about the way this playoff stacks up is there 32 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: isn't this year, I think, one clear dominant team that 33 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: I think everybody is afraid of in either confidence, and 34 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: I think that makes this potentially really exciting playoffs for 35 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: the NFL to maybe redeem itself for a twenty twenty 36 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: five regular season that was kind of lackluster. 37 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like a really good opportunity to take 38 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: advantage of some underdogs in the playoffs where it's not 39 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: all about well, who's the higher seed, who's playing at home? 40 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: Who's the heavy favorite? Seen all year long. Heavy favorites 41 00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: get upset left and right, especially when they're in division matchup. 42 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: So a lot of rematches, specifically on Saturday. Those are 43 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: games which are have already been played out this season, 44 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 2: So that are rematches. I'm looking forward to it. It's gonna 45 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 2: be a lot of fun, a lot of chaos, and 46 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: we'll see who this is the tournament. Man, you just 47 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 2: got to get to the dance. That's all that matters. 48 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: Get to the dance and we'll see how things shake out. 49 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: All right, So we've got two games on Saturday. Let's 50 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: talk about those. First. Los Angeles Rams take on the 51 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, ironically in Carolina. Carolina did not perform well 52 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: in the rain in Tampa, but it didn't matter. Somebody 53 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: with a losing record is in the playoffs. And I 54 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: hate it. I hate it so much, Andrew. I just 55 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: I've expressed this to you before, and I know the 56 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers have given the Rams some problems, but Vegas 57 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to care. Right now, the best line you're 58 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: getting is the Rams minus nine and a half. You're 59 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: getting Carolina plus ten and a half in some other markets, 60 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: forty six and a half for the over, forty seven 61 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: for the under, and then plus four to fifty for 62 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers on the money line. No double digits. 63 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: It's a lot. I know you and I differ on 64 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,119 Speaker 1: this game. Just from our discussion before the show kicked 65 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: off today, I think the Rams learned their lesson. I 66 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: think the Rams are a superior team, superior quarterback by Far, 67 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: head coach by Far, and I think that wins out here, 68 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: and I think the Rams handle their business easily. I 69 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: do think this is more of a blowout game. I'm 70 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: comfortable the nine and a half and I want to 71 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: catch it here before it gets to ten. Your thoughts here, 72 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: Andrew ericson, I know are opposite of me, so share 73 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: them with all the children. 74 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 2: So what happened to the Panthers last week? They lost, 75 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 2: and somehow they were able to backdoor their way into 76 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: a division win and to also make the playoffs. A 77 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: couple of futures bets cashed in Week eighteen for me 78 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: because of the Carolina Panthers action because the Falcons beating 79 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: the Saints. So it all kind of worked out in 80 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: how I projected this NFC South to take place, Carolina 81 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: will come out on top. It would be the Saints 82 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 2: for the reason why the Buccaneers don't win this division. 83 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 2: For Carolina double digitdog at home, I like that. So 84 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: catching ten and a half points, that's a process play 85 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: that I can usually get behind. Carolina is coming off 86 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: will have the rest advantage because they played on Saturday, 87 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: so there's a little bit of an edge there. We've 88 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: already seen the Panthers beat the Rams this year. Now, 89 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: that game was very, very flukey in terms of the 90 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 2: Panthers scored a lot on turnovers and they definitely got 91 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 2: out gained in terms of yardage. The Rams are still 92 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: the better team, and just Matthews Tavert was throwing pick 93 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 2: sixes and turning the ball over in the red zone. 94 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 2: So I don't disagree with the way the lines are 95 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: set up here. But process wise, what do you bet 96 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,799 Speaker 2: on Carolina Panthers after a loss? I think they've covered 97 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,280 Speaker 2: nine straight games as underdogs after a loss. They lost 98 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: last week? What did they do? They still covered? 99 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: But wait a minute, they lost against Seattle twenty seven 100 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: to ten, right, so shouldn't they have won this past 101 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: week by that same logic? Are you're just saying they. 102 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,799 Speaker 2: Should just say they cover, they covered, they covered the spread, 103 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: which at this point I mean, no, I don't. I 104 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 2: don't think the Panthers are going to beat the Rams 105 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: twice in a row. But are the rams is going 106 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 2: to beat them by ten and a half points on 107 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: the road? Again, No, I don't think so. So I 108 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: think it's too many points for a home playoff game. 109 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: So give me the Panthers catching ten and a half. 110 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 2: That's the line of like and if you can wait, 111 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 2: if you think that more money's going to come in on 112 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: the Rams also too, you have to fix factor in 113 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: what if there's more elements in this type of setup here? 114 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: They're not playing indoors, they're playing outside, so what if 115 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: we get more rain? Who does that favor the Panthers 116 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: or an indoor Rams team? I think it favors the Panthers. 117 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: Well, that's a lovely story. I enjoyed it. I had 118 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: a lot of good data to support it. And I'm 119 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: gonna be on the opposite end. They've lost four of 120 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: their last six games. Carolina Panthers aren't good. They're just 121 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: not good. So they're gonna get into a match up 122 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: here with the Rams that I think have been looking 123 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: their wounds a little bit. I think they've heard a 124 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: lot of nonsense. I think they realize they let the 125 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: division slip through their fingers. And I think that Sean McVay, 126 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford and company are going to take it out 127 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 1: in the Carolina Panthers. I really do so. Difference of 128 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: opinion there to start. I love it. That's what we need. 129 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: What do you think? Who you think is gonna win 130 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: this game? What's your favorite? Bet on it? Dropping into 131 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: comments below. Let's get to Green Bay and Chicago. I've 132 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: got some strong feelings about this one too. I think 133 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: what Micah Parson's got hurt. I think the Green Bay 134 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: Packers air went out of the balloon. I just do. 135 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: I feel like the Packers can't seem to get on 136 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: the right page here. I know the injuries have mounted. 137 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs, Jordan love all the problems, all the issues here. 138 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: I think they're limping into this game. And I think 139 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: maybe the best thing that could have happened here to 140 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: the Bears was losing in Ben Johnson getting pissed off 141 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: so you don't read all your press clippings about how 142 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: great you are and the Bears got knocked around a 143 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: little bit by the Lions yesterday and got checked. And 144 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: I think that's actually important because this is an Indivision game, 145 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: is a third time they're gonna be playing each other. 146 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: It's wacky things happen in a lot of those Indivision 147 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: games when they get into the playoffs, right, these Indivision teams. 148 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: So you're getting green Bay plus one and a half, 149 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: you're gett Chicago plus two and a half, and some 150 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: other markets. So everyone's still trying to figure this out. 151 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: Forty six and a half for the under, forty five 152 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: and a half for the over, even money for the 153 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: Packers to win, minus win to four in the money 154 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: line for the Chicago Bears. I don't think the Bears 155 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: to win out right minus one and a half. Give 156 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: me the Bears at home in this one. I just 157 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 1: don't think Green Bay has the mojo to win this 158 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: game at this stage. I just don't think. I think 159 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 1: they've had enough of their continuity, enough of their health. 160 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: They got to travel here. It's great bit capable of 161 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: this game, sure, but I think that check that the 162 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears got here on Sunday where the Lions beat 163 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: them and Ben Johnson's pissed off and how they played. 164 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: I think that's the best thing because I think that 165 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: goes to a long week of hard practice as opposed to, hey, 166 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: look out, good we are. We just beat the Lions again. 167 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: We beat everybody in the vision. Now here come the 168 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: Packers and not gonna take things seriously. I think it 169 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 1: was a good thing for the Chicago Bears, and I 170 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: think anybody who's out on the Bears and this game 171 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: is wrong. Andrew Erickson, are you right or wrong? 172 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 2: I think I like the Bears here with the points. 173 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: I'm not super confident in picking a game winner. I'm 174 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: getting similar vibes that I got pregame with the Ravens 175 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 2: and Steelers, where I didn't really feel confident about picking 176 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 2: a winner in that game. I like the Steers because 177 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: they're getting the points and one field goal goes one 178 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 2: way and someone wins and someone doesn't, so Steers them 179 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 2: getting the upset. That was the process play. Just take 180 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 2: Mike Tomlan as a home underdog and it'll just work 181 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 2: out more often than I know that you call it. 182 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: Thanks. I was on the Steelers too, money line. That 183 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: was my upset of the week, right, So I got 184 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: another one to ching on the upset of the week, 185 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: and you know what's fun exactly what happened. Did the 186 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: Ravens find a way to lose that game that they 187 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: should win? They absolutely did. Did the Pittsburgh Steelers find 188 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: a way to win a game they probably shouldn't, They 189 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: absolutely did. The script I learned something. It took me 190 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: eighteen weeks to learn it, almost, but I learned, Andrew. 191 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: One of my best bets last week was the under 192 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: in the Lions and Bears game fifteen and a half points, 193 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: which I thought was a ludicrous number playing in Chicago 194 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 2: outdoors with Jared Goff. Now, GoF wasn't the reason the 195 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: game went under the total. He had a pretty solid game. 196 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: He threw for over three hundred passing yards, but that 197 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: game was nowhere close fifty a half points. This total 198 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 2: forty six and a half outdoors in Chicago, Like you said, 199 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 2: green Bay kind of limping in here. How are they 200 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 2: going to look offensively? Yes, Jordan Love's gonna be coming 201 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 2: back after he set out the last basically last two games. 202 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 2: But if he's come back in a little bit rusty, 203 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 2: I like the under in this game. I think I 204 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 2: think that this is more of a strugg Vince the 205 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 2: third time these teams have played each other, so they're very, 206 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: very familiar with each other. So I think maybe this 207 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 2: is more tight scoring, a lower scoring game in the 208 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: low twenties. So give me the under forty six and 209 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 2: a half. But I would agree. I like getting the 210 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 2: Bears at home with the points. 211 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: I think that's a great take. I like the under 212 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: as well. Time of year, hard to throw the ball 213 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: in that field too. We all know that sometimes as well. 214 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 1: We get weather reports as we get a little closer there. 215 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: But I like the Bears to win. I like the under, 216 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: so I like the combination too. All right, before we 217 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: get to all these Sunday playoff action, super Wildcard weekend, 218 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 1: don't forget Our show is brought to you by hard 219 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: Rock Bet Sportsbook Florida is only sportsbook now.

Jags at home two and a half point underdogs. 259 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: The Bills or should I say the Josh Allens minus 260 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: one on the road. Fifty one and a half is 261 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: the number for the over and the under consensus right 262 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: now minus went awaight for the Bills plus one h 263 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: three for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I'm gonna come out and 264 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: say this. I think the Jags are a more complete team. 265 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: I like the Jaguars at home to ruin the Josh 266 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: Allen story, and I will take the Jacksonville Jaguars straight 267 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: up money line. I'll take the two and a half 268 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: two If I'm really just feeling a little insecure, Okay, fine, 269 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: I'm not, though, I'm feeling confident of the Jacksonville Jaguars. 270 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: I think they're a good football team. They went in 271 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: there and they took it to Denver. They don't seem 272 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: to be afraid of anybody. They're one of those worst 273 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: to first teams, and I think that Liam Cone has 274 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: this team playing really good football Trevor Lawrence, so it's 275 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: really comfortable. The defense is solid, and that's the one 276 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: fault too of the Buffalo Bills is the defense. I 277 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: just don't trust them in big spots. So give me 278 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: the Jacks at home. Your thoughts on this one, Andrew Worse. 279 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 2: The first jag Wars didn't come in last place in 280 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: the division last year, that would be the title. 281 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 1: It just feels like it. 282 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 2: No, No, it definitely does similar to the Panthers, right, technically. 283 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: The first Okay, how many wins did they have last year? 284 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember. 285 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: I mean they had a top five pick. 286 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 1: Look it wasn't. 287 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 2: But that's kind of the story of a lot of 288 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: these teams this season. Look at the two number two 289 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 2: seeds in each in each conference, the Bears and Patriots them. Well, 290 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 2: those teams came in last place in the division last year, or. 291 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: They had four wins. The Titans had three. My apologies 292 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: to Spiritually, they're going from from worse to spiritually, yeah, 293 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 1: spiritually worse the first. 294 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: The only reason I know that is because I spent 295 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 2: a lot of time when we did the futures conversations 296 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,079 Speaker 2: about division winners. I was like, we're gonna have multiple 297 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 2: teams go from worse to first because we had none 298 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 2: last year, which was kind of an operation just based 299 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 2: on the trends of how often this happens. It's like 300 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 2: very freaky how teams can just so quickly turn it around, 301 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: and a lot of it's attached. 302 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: To you Striots and Bears. This year yea, and forty 303 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: nine Ers nearly pull it off. Yep. 304 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 2: In the forty nine Ers it was they were minus 305 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 2: odds to win the division anyway, right right, Like people 306 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 2: were expecting that to be like baked in to because 307 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 2: of all the injuries they had, and they just got 308 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 2: more injuries this year. So that aside, back to the 309 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 2: Jaguars Bills conversation, I agree with you. I think Jaguars 310 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 2: a kind of getting disrespected here a little bit. The 311 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 2: big bad Buffalo Bills are coming to town and their 312 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 2: favorites why because they have Josh Allen. Okay, well, Trevor 313 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 2: Lawrence is playing like Josh Allen is at a very 314 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 2: high level. So Jacksonville has been one of the best 315 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: teams against the spread at home this season. I think 316 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 2: they actually have the best record against the spread at home, 317 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 2: so Duval has been feeling it Bills on the road 318 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 2: that defense. To your point, I think they'll be getting 319 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: some guys back healthy. I know Maxwell Harriston got banged 320 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 2: up against the Jets in a meaningless game, which I 321 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: don't know why he was even playing, but he's one 322 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: of their top cornerbacks. So yeah, I think all things considered, 323 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 2: I think this is probably gonna be a high scoring game. 324 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 2: So I do kind of like the over as well, 325 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 2: because you could see both quarterbacks kind of just having 326 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: field days against these opposing defenses. We know that Jacksonville 327 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 2: can get thrown on a bunch, and I think that, 328 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 2: but I think that plays into the advantage of the Bills. 329 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 2: Like the Bills can only really run the football. Are 330 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 2: we afraid of Gabe Davis in Keyon Coleman and Khalil Shakir. 331 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: The Jaguars are hoping that those are the guys that 332 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 2: are gonna have to beat them. So I think Jacksonville 333 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 2: is a more complete team. They're playing at home and 334 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 2: you can get them catching points in some markets. I 335 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 2: like the Jaguars as well. 336 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: Joe, the Buffalo Bills have given up thirty more points 337 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: this year than the Jaguars on the defensive side of 338 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: the football. Just throwing it out there, still it out there. 339 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: It's a pretty wide gap, got it for a team 340 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: with that many wins? So yeah, go Jacks. Let's go Jacks, 341 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: all right? And I apologize for insulting it your last place. 342 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: I totally forgot. I was like, yeah, they'reright. The Titans 343 00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: were worse, not by much by one game. We had 344 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: a lot of I mean, I don't remember Wildcard weekend 345 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: and This is probably gonna backfire on me a great 346 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: deal that I have such strong feelings about games, But 347 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: this next one I got a strong feeling about. Two. 348 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: It's the Philadelphia Eagles hosting the San Francisco forty nine ers, 349 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: and I am all over the Eagles in this game. 350 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: Eagles are three and a half point favorites. You get 351 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: four on the San Francisco fort nine Ers, forty five 352 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: and a half is the over, forty six and a 353 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: half for the under, plus one eighty for San Fran 354 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 1: on the money line. And I exactly what happened this 355 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: week that I said was gonna happen happen, which is 356 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: the fort Niners were gonna get checked by the Seattle defense, 357 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: and they did, and they got checked hard, and brock 358 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: Perty got checked hard, and the cool gold face mess 359 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: and the cool uniforms were not cool enough to pull 360 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: them out of the tailspin of that game where this 361 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: is where the Seattle Seahawks offense prolific. Now they didn't 362 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: have to be. That defense, on the other hand, really 363 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: just held them in check. And I think the Eagles 364 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: can do the same thing. Eagles would be at home. 365 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 1: San France has to travel a great distance. We're gonna 366 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: be in some colder conditions as well, not so much 367 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: as San fran thing. The Eagles have all kinds of problems, 368 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: but the Eagles have found ways to win football games, 369 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: and I think the Eagles will win this football game 370 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: as well. So I'll take the Eagles with the three 371 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: and a half here. I can understand the argument for 372 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers to cover here in this game. 373 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: I get it. I'm not touching the over under two. 374 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: I'm leaning actually towards the under if I have a 375 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: lean early on, because I think if the Eagles win, 376 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: it's more of a grinding kind of defensive game where 377 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: the Eagles make a couple of plays, the defense makes 378 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: a couple of plays, and the Eagles come away with 379 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: a victory and advance. So what do you think is 380 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: going to be the outcome here between the Eagles and 381 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. 382 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 2: I like the Eagles here as well, playing at home 383 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 2: in the elements, colder weather. I mean, I wasn't surprised 384 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 2: by the outcome of that forty nine or Seahawk game. 385 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 2: I like the Seahawks in that particular contest on the 386 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: road because the fort Niners didn't have Trent Williams. We've said, 387 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: we have this giant sample size of them playing without 388 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: him in their offense being significantly worse, except when they 389 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 2: were playing a really really bad defense the week before 390 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 2: against the Chicago Bears. Right, Oh, like, but they don't 391 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 2: need to Trent Williams. He they're fine without him. And 392 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,600 Speaker 2: then they play legit def and oh they score three points. 393 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 2: And if you were watching that game, that box score 394 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 2: does not summarize the beating that I think that the 395 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 2: Seahawks were laying on the forty nine ers, Like, like 396 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: they got so unlucky in a lot of red zone opportunities, 397 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 2: they didn't convert all their fourth downs. The score, it 398 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: should have been a blowout, quite frankly, So the forty 399 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 2: nine ers were lucky totally lose by you know, ten 400 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 2: thirteen points or whatever the exact score was. So I 401 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 2: like the Eagles again coming in a little bit more 402 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 2: well rested in the forty nine ers. I feel like 403 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, the way they talked about last 404 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 2: week's game was like, this is our super Bowl, right, 405 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 2: we win this game, we get home field, the advantage 406 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 2: forever throughout to the Super Bowl, because we're going to 407 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 2: host the Super Bowl ever, and they lost, So I 408 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 2: think that maybe takes some of the wind out of 409 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 2: the sales for the forty nine ers. Now the kind 410 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 2: of to your point, kind of licking their wounds, hoping, Okay, 411 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 2: we got now go to on the road to Philadelphia. 412 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 2: Not a great place to play. Eagles have one of 413 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: the top tier defenses, so again drew Seattle last week, 414 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 2: this is another really tough defensive matchup for the forty 415 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 2: nine ers, So I agree with you the Eagles here. 416 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,479 Speaker 2: I also like the under the game total forty six 417 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 2: and half because, frank quite frankly, it doesn't even matter 418 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 2: what the forty nine ers defense looks like. This Eagles offense, 419 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 2: we know, is just like we never It's like the 420 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 2: box of chocolates, like you never know what you're gonna get. 421 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 2: I like to think they can get the run game 422 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 2: going with Saquon Barkley. I think if Lane Johnson comes back, 423 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 2: maybe that I couldn't even see that moving more towards 424 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 2: the Eagles in terms of the betting. So I think 425 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 2: this is the one that I do want to get 426 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 2: on early. Once we get confirmations, Hey, Lane Johnson's good 427 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 2: to go, Maybe they've been holding him out for the playoffs. Again, 428 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 2: similar to Trent Williams the splits. The Eagles are so 429 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 2: much better offensively when Lane Johnson is healthy and playing 430 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 2: and ultimately the winner of this game. I just come 431 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 2: down to who is healthier, Lane Johnson or Trent Williams. 432 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I'll say this to Kyle Shanahan of big games, 433 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: of big spots. Always gets too cute, always does one 434 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 1: thing you shouldn't do, And I think that will bite 435 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: him in the ass again as it does every single 436 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 1: year in the playoffs in sub fashion. Next up here, 437 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: the night game, our New England Patriots will host the 438 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers plus fours then umber to get to 439 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: the Chargers right now minus three and a half for 440 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,400 Speaker 1: New England, forty five and a half for the over, 441 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 1: forty six and a half for the under, plus one 442 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: seventy seven on the money line for the Chargers. The 443 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: Chargers have a long history of the playoffs of spitting 444 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: the bit against the Newingle Patriots. But that's old school stuff. 445 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: That's the name Tomlinson and Phil Rivers and Tom Brady, 446 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: and this is a different era. I can throw all 447 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 1: that stuff out the window, except for the fact it's 448 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: going to be the same outcome dowingle Patriots at home 449 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: at night, Chargers in a big spot. I have zero 450 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: faith in. Saw the Chargers last year go on the 451 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: road and get their ass kicked by the Houston Texans 452 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: and they didn't have nearly the kind of quarterback play. 453 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: I think that their Patriots are getting out of Drake 454 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: May this year. I will take the Patriots with the 455 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: three and a half. I think the Patriots first home 456 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: playoff game and quite some time for them. The hype 457 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: around that, the weather again, he's talking cold New England night. 458 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 1: For a team from southern California who has to travel, 459 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: that's tough. It's a tough thing to do. And I 460 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: think that the reset of Ray Bowl with this team too. 461 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: I saw the post game there in the locker room 462 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: where he's basically saying the season's over, that season's over, 463 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: you're starting all over. He's constantly checking them, he's constantly 464 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 1: putting the right focus and the right mindset. And I 465 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: think we can't discount Herbert's played great this year with 466 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 1: difficult circumstances with offensive line issues, with injuries, but he 467 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: can't do it all by himself. He needs more help, 468 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: and I just don't think the Chargers have enough pieces 469 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: in place that are healthy enough to help him. So 470 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: I will take the Patriots in this one. It's not 471 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: a Homer pick. It's just good football and good practice. Andrew, 472 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: give me your take on this game between the Chargers 473 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: and the Pats. 474 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 2: I do you like the Pats. I don't love the 475 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 2: three and a half specific numbers, that's fair, so I 476 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 2: think this is probably more of a money line bet 477 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 2: for me with the Patriots and not sweating the against 478 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 2: the spread or those types of numbers. I would say 479 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 2: I do like the under in this game. The Patriots 480 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 2: have played again, we all know this. That put one 481 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 2: of the easiest schedules in the NFL. The Chargers have 482 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 2: a good defense and the Patriots have not faced that 483 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 2: many good defenses this season. So forty six and a 484 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 2: half points to year. To your stute point about the 485 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: whether you have a Dome team going on the road 486 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 2: playing on the East Coast, I think that this is 487 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 2: a more of a twenty seventeen type of game where 488 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 2: you're not seeing necessarily. Drake may look making everything look 489 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 2: so so easy, like he's done against the last two 490 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: weeks the Dolphins and Jets where he hasn't even finished 491 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 2: the game. Absolutely, he hasn't even finished the game because 492 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 2: they've just been killing these teams. 493 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: Need to. 494 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 2: The Chargers, I would argue, have a top five defense, 495 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 2: which I'd have to look exactly at the Patriots schedule. 496 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 2: I don't think they have faced the top five defense, 497 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 2: not recently, at least that I can think of. So 498 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 2: I think that this is more of a struggle again, 499 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 2: first playoff game for Drake May. Maybe a little jitters 500 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,120 Speaker 2: here and there. So that's how I kind of want 501 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 2: to play this game. Obviously, gonna be rooted for my Patriots. 502 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 2: When I might be going to this game, Joe might 503 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 2: be going, might be. 504 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: Well, then I know we're going to win because you're 505 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: a good luck chart. But I don't think Drake May 506 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: gets nervous. I think he's got ice boar in the veins. 507 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: I think he is. He is that dude. Now, whether 508 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: or not you know we'll get to the super Bowl 509 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: this year, that's yet to be determined.

Monday Night Football, the Houston Texans 526 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: will travel to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers. The Steelers 527 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: are underdogs plus three and a half Houston minus three 528 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: thirty nine and a half of the over, thirty nine 529 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: and a half for the under, minus one sixty four 530 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: for the Texans money line, plus one fifty six for 531 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. On the money line, look Mike Tomlin 532 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: underdog sure okay, great, Houston Texans defense is a whole 533 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: other animal. Aaron Rodgers is not super mobile at this 534 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: stage in his career. I think there's gonna be a 535 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: lot of pressure on Aaron Rodgers. I don't care if 536 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: dk Metcalf is back. Arthur Smith is a very predictable 537 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, and that defense is very good. I'll again, 538 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take the Houston Texans straight up money 539 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: line minus one sixty four. It's a little more juice 540 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: than I want. That's okay. I will take the one 541 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: sixty four and I'll pair it with something else, a 542 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: prop that I like, or even potentially the under in 543 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: this game of the thirty nine and a half. Andrew 544 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: ericson what's your take on Steelers Texansk. 545 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 2: This is a really good game to like tease because 546 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,479 Speaker 2: we know that the Texans aren't a team that blows 547 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 2: out opponents. So you tease the Texans up to you know, 548 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 2: plus six and a half, plus seven and a half, 549 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 2: you take the game total under forty two and a 550 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 2: half something along those lines. You get minus one ten, 551 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 2: and you feel great about your bet and you don't 552 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 2: really have to sweat the actual winner of this contest 553 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 2: because Joe, as we're talking about every single game, I'm 554 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 2: pretty sure we've all we've picked or go except for you. 555 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,959 Speaker 2: I picked all the home teams to win, essentially, so 556 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 2: you took the Rams. 557 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: I have not. You have I have not. I took 558 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: the Rams. 559 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 2: You took the Bears, Jags, Eagles, Patriots. 560 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: Those are but I'm saying I've taken the Rams. I'm 561 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: taking the Texans. I got two road teams, and the 562 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: two road teams I think are just clearly better teams. 563 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: So I'm keeping it simple. That kiss method for me 564 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: in the wildcard round. 565 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's probably where I would lean here 566 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 2: as well, with with the Houston Texas, because I hadn't 567 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 2: picked a road team yet to win, so I would 568 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 2: go with Houston. Steelers had their moment in the Sun 569 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 2: against the Baltimore Ravens, but again a missed field goal 570 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: away from them not even being here in this conversation. 571 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: So what would the line be if it was the 572 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 2: Texans going to Baltimore. 573 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: Ravens would be favored by like minus two. 574 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say this is crazy that you have 575 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 2: a five. 576 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, because you have Lamar Jackson, Because you know 577 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: the Ravens typically. Look, Pittsburgh's not the easiest place to 578 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: play in either, there's elements there in all those kinds 579 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: of situations, but defense travels. Yeah, what do you Mark's 580 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: played pretty well? Can you run the football? Can you 581 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: play defense? The Houston Texans can and look to me, 582 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: that is something that you know. Look, the T J. 583 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: Watt return last night was a big injection as well 584 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: for that defense. I want to like take away what 585 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: happened the fourth quarter that wasn't the most exciting game 586 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter was entertaining. Let's just put it 587 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: that way. If it was good, but it was entertaining. 588 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: I just think that regardless, You're right, I think whoever 589 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: was gonna come out of there was going to face 590 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: the Texans and probably lose to the Texans. And I'm 591 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: gonna stick with that script. 592 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think is that that might be my most 593 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 2: confident bet. Honestly, when I'm just looking at these games, 594 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 2: it's like I knew it STIs win this game. Well, 595 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 2: they're gonna lose next week against Houston. I feel very common. Right, 596 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 2: despite the fact that Houston and Houston is not playing. 597 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,680 Speaker 2: I couldn't believe they moved him out of the Saturday 598 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 2: for a thirty window, but they decided to. 599 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: No, we can't put Kent. 600 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 2: We can't put Panthers in rams at a primetime slot 601 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 2: on Monday Night football, so we'll move the Texans. 602 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, gi me Houston, all right, So we agree on that. 603 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 1: Remember you get track our bets over Betting Pros as well. 604 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: Download the app today, download the hard Rock bet sportsbook app, 605 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,959 Speaker 1: and Wildcard Weekend shaping up like it's going to be 606 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: pretty fun.
