Let's strike up the band, let's go. Welcome players, 35 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: You're welcome. It's time now Betty versus the Penny. Alright, 36 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: So before we get to the games on Sunday, actually Saturday, 37 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: we got games coming up tomorrow, Sunday and Monday this weekend. 38 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: No more bye weeks in the NFL. But we must 39 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: look back to last week and what happened in week fourteen. 40 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: Before we look ahead, you gotta go in the hot 41 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: tub time machine. So now I should point out in 42 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: week thirteen. So let's go all the way back to 43 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: week thirteen. I had my worst week all season. I 44 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: was waiting for the bottom to fall out. I was 45 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: six and nine in week thirteen. The penny was also 46 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: under five at seven and eight. But that was my 47 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: worst week of the year. Four winning percentage in week thirteen. 48 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: So how did I do last week? You asked? In 49 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: week fourteen, Well, we were thirteen games on the card, 50 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: and how many do you think we got? Right, Danny, 51 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: And now you're representing the penny. What did the penny 52 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: first and then me? Would you like would you be 53 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: more comfortable with that? Let's go with the good guy first. 54 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the penny got eight corrects. Well, Danny 55 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: Survey says that is absolutely right. The penny went eight 56 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: and five, So a winning week for the penny that 57 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: had too many winning weeks this year. You got off 58 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: to a good start, but as Nott had too many 59 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: winning weeks. But eight and five, so a six fifteen 60 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: winning percentage last week for the penny. Now the gas bag, 61 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: the evil Empire. I'm gonna say you got nine corrects, Danny, 62 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: that is incorrect. I went hen in three again. That 63 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: is my top record as far as winning percentage is 64 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: concerned in the NFL. And I believe that is now 65 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 1: my sixth week out of fourteen where I've gotten ten 66 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: of the picks right on the card. So let me 67 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: take a victory lap here, which means I will go 68 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: terrible this week, but no, I'm I'm very happy with that. 69 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: So overall, now we crunch, Hey, how there you? I 70 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: had a big meal. So overall on the season total, 71 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: and this is documented by Roscoe the Parent and David 72 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: in winter Park, Florida and Robin Vegas and other a 73 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: holes that keep track of all these picks to make 74 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: sure I'm not lying and everything's recorded for posterity sake 75 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: on the podcast. So overall, hundred and twenty two wins, 76 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: eight one losses, and five ties on the year. That's 77 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: a six oh one winning percentage of the penny night 78 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: one oh seven and three of four seventy eight winning percentage. 79 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: So for this to be an amazing, crazy full season football, 80 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: we somehow have to find a way to get to 81 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 1: the penny to go to five. The pennies nine games 82 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: under five. Right now, in theory, you flip the penny 83 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: up enough, it should be fifty fifty. It's nine under, 84 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: so that would mean the penny is gonna finish the 85 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: season the last month or so very strong. So we'll 86 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: see how that goes. But let's get to the games. 87 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: Are you ready? Let's do it. So if you're just 88 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: new to this, the home team is heads, the road 89 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: team is tails, and you travel on your behind planes, trains, 90 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: and automobiles. So that's how we do it. The whole 91 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: bit is man versus an animate object, and I I'm 92 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: a loser. I crunch all the numbers, look at all 93 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: the trends, and then the penny just flips it up 94 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: and we see who does better. So start with the 95 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: games coming up on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, So we got 96 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: football tomorrow, triple header on a Saturday, will start out 97 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: at First Energy Stadium in the Land Baltimore nine and four, 98 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 1: Cleveland five and A. If you look at the graphics 99 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: on the screen there, you can see, well, actually aren't 100 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: no graphics. This ain't TV, Danny, this is just radio 101 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: on the NFL network. Rich Eisen former premier Networks. I 102 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: Heart Guy and Kurt Warner have the call. Brown's open 103 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: at three point favorite. They were favored by three at 104 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: this point. The money's pretty even. There's a forecast of 105 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: light snow, some light flurries, temperatures in the low thirties 106 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: at kickoff in afternoon game in northern Ohio. We are 107 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: gonna take the Ravens in this game. You look at 108 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: the trends and not a huge trends Guy Baltimore without 109 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, it hasn't really mattered when Jackson's been out. 110 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: They've still been able to hold their own there. And 111 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: this is more of a bet against Cleveland. Kevin Stefanski 112 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: and the Brownies with him as coach, nine and seventeen 113 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: against the spread as a favorite. So they have not 114 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: lived up the expectations that Deshaun Watts and the creepy 115 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: quarterback has been absolutely lousy since he came back. It's 116 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: only been a couple of games here and now he 117 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: goes against a blood thirsty Ravens defense and they're like piranha. 118 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: They smell blood in the water here. I love that mismatch. 119 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: That's the top unit Ravens over the last month at 120 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: the NFL's eighth ranked defense. The Poets, they're not the 121 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: dead Poets right now. Now Now on offense, they might be dead. 122 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: As backup quarterback Tyler Huntley cleared the concussion protocol earlier 123 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: this week, so he is going to start. He's expected 124 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: to start. Cleveland's the defense is not that good. Not 125 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 1: that Baltimore is gonna but trickate the ball up and 126 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: down the field. But we are taking the Ravens twenty 127 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: three and the Brownies seventeen the final, and the penny 128 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: is going with Deshaun Watson and the Browns gonna rub 129 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: you the right way. Ye get you down to that 130 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: baby yoga post as you get all right. Next up 131 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: Indianapolis four eight and one at Minnesota ten and three. 132 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: It's on the NFL Network with Noah Eagle and Nate 133 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: Burleson and knows the voice of the Clippers. Probably not 134 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: for long. This guy is gonna he's gonna be doing 135 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: network games every week. Before I son, yes, yes, I 136 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: met him, and it was very it was it was 137 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: cool to meet he was a good guy. But he 138 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: was right out of Syracuse and he walked right off 139 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: of the Syracuse campus and an NBA play by play 140 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: job was insane. But he's good. I mean the guys 141 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: really good. He's he's he's a doppel ganger of his daddy. 142 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: And some of these guys that follow in their father's 143 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: footsteps are not good. But this guy's got the the chops, 144 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: he's got the the verbosity, if that's even a thing. 145 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: All right. So Indianapolis and Minnesota the Vikings a four 146 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: point favorite in this game. They opened it five and 147 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: a half. Most of the money the handle is on 148 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: Minnesota US Bank Stadium, a dome. So those of us 149 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: who are have friends in Minnesota, and it's gonna be 150 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: the twenties. But you don't have the way you're gonna don't. 151 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,280 Speaker 1: It's the weather be good inside. Minnesota. Their last five 152 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: games as a favorite, their four oh and one against 153 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: the spread, three and oh against the spread their last 154 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: three games as a home favorite. But Indianapolis, they have 155 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: been sneaky good over the years, coming off the by 156 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: with different coaches. There ten games over five over the 157 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: last uh, you know, last decade or so. We we 158 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: are going to go. We went kind of back and 159 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: forth on this, but we're gonna take the Indianapolis Colts 160 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: in this game and This is one of those games 161 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: where we you know, crunched the numbers, kind of went 162 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: back and forth on it. The Colts is the pick here, 163 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: Minnesota ten and three. They have a negative point differential, 164 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: so that means they've been eating for breakfast, lucky charms. 165 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: Based on the advance statistics that the nerds love so much, 166 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: these teams are very similar in terms of statistical profile. 167 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: Now I realized that I'm putting my faith in Matt Ryan, 168 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: and I do believe he's washed up, and that scares me. 169 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan by himself can give a game of way. 170 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: We saw that against the Cowboys. But this is an 171 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: opportunity to get that bad taste out of the Colts mouth. 172 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: They're not going to the playoffs. They actually still have 173 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: a chance mathematically to go to the playoffs because of 174 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: the division they're in. But we'll take the Vikings seven 175 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: Colts twenty four. But we love that four point line 176 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 1: in favor of Indianapolis, so we'll take the points. But 177 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: Minnesota wins the game and the Penny pecks. Penny says, 178 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: you're crazy. The Vikings are gonna crunch Indie. No, Yeah, 179 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: the Penny's a dope. The Penny should go to bed, 180 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 1: all right. Next up Miami eight and five at Buffalo. 181 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: Here we go Buffalo at ten and three, also state 182 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: sponsored NFL Network. Kevin Coogler and Mark Sanchez, the Fox 183 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: team have the call on state sponsored NFL Network. The 184 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: Bills opened up a seven and a half point favorite, 185 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: and they are favored by seven. The handle is insane. 186 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: A ninety percent of the money and the numbers that 187 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: we have here in favor of Buffalo is the public 188 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: hounding the Buffalo Bills. The forecast this is gonna be 189 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: great snow game. Snow game temperatures in the twenties that 190 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: kick off with the weather conditions, they're snowing throughout the 191 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: game at high Mark Stadium and Orchard Park, New York. Now, 192 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: if you look at the numbers on this, you'd say, no, no, no, 193 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: you gotta run away from Miami. They will freeze. There 194 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: took us off in this game. And since the Dolphin 195 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: franchise has played seven games in temperatures forty degrees and below, 196 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: they are oh and seven against the spread. In those 197 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: games they've lost by an average margin of twenty one 198 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: points per game, so they haven't even been closed. They 199 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: were just getting smoked in these games. The trends all indicate, 200 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: don't take Miami. Don't take Miami. Josh Allen six two 201 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: and three against the spread at home in his career 202 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: as a seven point favorite or better. I did find 203 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: one positive trend if you're into such things, for Miami 204 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: to a tongue of Ilo three oh and one as 205 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: an underdog of at least six points in his career. 206 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: So we're getting down to the home stretch here. This 207 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: is a massively important game for the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo. 208 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Dolphins in this game. I'm going 209 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: against the public who is convinced that this is a 210 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: broken a t M machine. Danny, they're handing out cash 211 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: in a snow game. Are you kidding me? Warm weather 212 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: soft team from Miami, no chance, no chance that Dolphins 213 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: can compete. I did like that Mike McDaniel used the 214 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: Jedi mind trick this week when dealing with the the 215 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: weather conditions in Buffalo. But here's the reason I liked. 216 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: The Dolphins made the great equalizer injuries. The Bills have 217 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: three offensive lineman who are either gonna miss this game 218 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: or play and be dinged up one one is definitely out. 219 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: They've got four defensive starters that are also mangled. And 220 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: as good as the Bills have been this year, you 221 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: gotta look at how they've done recently the last month. 222 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: That number two overall offenses twenty in the NFL. You're 223 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: not supposed to say that out loud, but we just did. 224 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: So that knock on the door. Here is opportunity for 225 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, who was dinged up himself, but he's gonna 226 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: play and to a tongue of baloa. To stop the bleeding. 227 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: After back to back losses on the West coast, you 228 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: go to the East coast, go back to the east, 229 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: get the winds, saddle up, get or done. Dolphins twenty 230 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: three and the Bills twenty the final and the third 231 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: straight heads here on the table, the Penny says, the 232 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: Dolphins looked just like the Seahawks. Alright, so that I 233 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: was waiting for that Geno Smith to show up at 234 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: the All right, let's get to the early games on Sunday, 235 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: as we continue Benny versus the Penny. Wearing many hats, 236 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: here the mad Hatter of sports Chatter Atlanta five and 237 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: eight at Orleans four and nine. It's on Fox Adam 238 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: Amen and marsh lay Rick have the call. Won't spend 239 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: a lot of time in this game. The Saints of 240 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: four point favor They opened it three and a half 241 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: at the super Dome in the Bayou Atlanta. One in 242 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: six their last seven games against the spread owen four 243 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 1: their last four games as a dog, and oh and 244 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: three in their last three road games. So things have 245 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: really gone sideways here for the Falcons, who gambling wise, 246 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: got off to a very good start in New Orleans 247 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: has covered three straight games at home, one of those 248 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: a shutout of your Raiders. Danny g not to to 249 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: bring an old wound back, but I'm gonna take the 250 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: Falcons in this game. Now. I don't have been punished 251 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 1: ever since. Well, yeah, being a Saints fan is a 252 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: punishment experience outside of Drew Brees for a couple of years. 253 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: So we are We're gonna go with the Atlanta Falcons, 254 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: hoping for beginner's luck here. As Desmond Ritter comes off 255 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: the bench, the rookie, and we're counting on him not 256 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: pooping the bed in this game. He doesn't have to 257 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: be great. The Saints defense is devoid of a consistent 258 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: pass rush, which usually means, based on my years of 259 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: watching football, if you don't get to the quarterback. The quarterback, 260 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: no matter whether they're young, old, and the middle doesn't matter, 261 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: we'll be able to make plays there. There's gonna be 262 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: opportunities for Ritter, assuming he does not have flop sweat 263 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: uh and which we are making the assumption he will not. 264 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: New Orleans is also weak against the run, and that's 265 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: a key variable here because Atlanta they don't throw the 266 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: ball that much anyway. They're gonna focus on the ground 267 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 1: game and that's promising for the Dirty Birds. These teams 268 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: are very close usually if you look at the history 269 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 1: of the matchup, there nail biting last second games Atlanta 270 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: New Orleans. Whether one of them is much better than 271 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: the other, these are pretty even teams, as we said 272 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: this year, so I love getting over a field goal. 273 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: Most games are a field goal or less. Falcons the 274 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: underdog with a rookie quarterback, get or done Falcons twenties st. 275 00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: Seventeen the final and finally an agreement that Penny also 276 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: going with the Falcons. Al Right, we agree on that 277 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: we move on Detroit six and seven, the New York 278 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: Jets at seven and six on CBS with Iron Eagle 279 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: and Charles Davis, a friend of the podcast. We had 280 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: Charles on leading up to the NFL season. Great to 281 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: have him on. I'll have him on again, I'm sure 282 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: at some point down the line one of the voices 283 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: of Madden Football. So the Jets opened a three point favorite. 284 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: Apparently the wise guys got that number wrong, because the 285 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: Jets are a one and a half point favorite. This 286 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: game was actually a pick him at one point this week. 287 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: The handle over eight percent of the action on the 288 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: j e t s sucks, sucks, suck. Recently sucks sucks 289 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: suck at MetLife Stadium, Sonny in the Tri State area, 290 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: temperatures in the thirties that kick off New York. The 291 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: other New York team five and all against the spread 292 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: after a Law loss. But how about the Detroit Lions. 293 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: Here's the mother of all trends on this game. The 294 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: Lions have covered six straight games. That is the longest 295 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: active streak in the NFL. Hello the Lions. The Lions 296 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: are the top team for gambles. Now. That tells you 297 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,159 Speaker 1: what has happened, not what's going to happen. But we 298 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: love us some some Dan Campbell, Dan Campbell twenty and 299 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: ten against the spread. The Lions are with him as 300 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: the coach, second best record in the entire league since 301 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: the start of last season. And we're gonna ride that pony. 302 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna because they got rid of those pony rides 303 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: in l A at Griffith Park. We're gonna ride the 304 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: pony here. We're gonna take the Detroit Lions, and we're 305 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: gonna piggyback on Jared Golf and the Motor City kiddies. 306 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: They have been wonderful, wonderful and offense, much better on 307 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: offense and comparable on defense. If you look at the 308 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: side by side taste test Jets and Lions. Now, Mike 309 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: White dinged up and he's been on thin ice the 310 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: last two weeks against the Vikings and the Buffalo Bills. 311 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: We expect more up and down play from the Jets offense. 312 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: Here is Aiden Hutchinson. I say that name every week 313 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: because he's that good. He deserves top billing. Here on defense, 314 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: the playmaker, they're the one that is the disruptor for Detroit. 315 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: And then you've got on offense, Amon ross A, Brown, 316 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift and company. So we're gonna ride that out set. 317 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: It will be the seventh win. The Lions will be 318 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: back to five hundred on the season after fourteen games. 319 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: Lions in a nail biter, twenty six, Jets twenty three 320 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: the final, and the Penny says, not so fast, Mallard, 321 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: Mike White and his sore ribs are gonna beat the Lions. Yeah, 322 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: he'll be eating barbecue ribs after the game, is what 323 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: he'll be doing, all right. That we will stay focused 324 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 1: on the prize as we spin around to Houston, Texas, 325 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: where cairnsa City ten and three at Houston one eleven 326 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: and one one one one ones everywhere on CBS, Kevin 327 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: Harland and Shrank Green have the call the line on 328 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 1: this game. The Chiefs opened up a fourteen point favorite. 329 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: The line has stayed the same. Now the premise on 330 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny. We pick every game, even the 331 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: bad ones, and this is a bad one. At NRG 332 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: Stadium in Houston, it is a dome, and you look 333 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: at some of the trends here. Double digit home underdogs 334 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: are eight and ten outright over the last two seasons, 335 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: thirteen and five against the spreads, so they've done very 336 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: well here. Your home underdogs of double digit nature. That's 337 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: one of the reasons we always always, almost always take 338 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: home dogs when you get them. Very rarely do you 339 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: get a double digit home underdog. Home underdogs of thirteen 340 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:59,479 Speaker 1: points or higher are eight and one against the spread 341 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years here, So that bodes 342 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 1: well for Houston and this is something that Texans are 343 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: used to, Danny, this will be the game. The morbid 344 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: Texans have been a double digit underdog since the start 345 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: of last season. That is six more than any other 346 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 1: team in professional football in Houston, four and one against 347 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 1: the spread the last five as a double digit underdog. 348 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna continue that. We go with the Texas here. 349 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: I just simply don't trust the Chiefs as a massive favorite. 350 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 1: With their offense this year is as good as they've 351 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: been at times. You saw last week against Denver. They 352 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: had a twenty seven nothing lead in that game, failed 353 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: to cover as eight and a half point favorites loud 354 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,679 Speaker 1: le Broncos to get back in the game. And if 355 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't for a Russell Wilson injury, you play the 356 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: KULDO would have shouldar Denver might have actually won that game. 357 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: The Texans, i imagine, will be flat to start this game. 358 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: They gagged away a winnable game against the Cowboys last week. 359 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: They've lost Damian Pierce to start running back, several key 360 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: players out with injury. It doesn't matter like the backups 361 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: are much worse than the starters. When you're getting fourteen points, 362 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: you always have that backdoor cover as we've we've seen 363 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: here and Davis Mills, who's under center, make a couple 364 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 1: of plays here and they're all you need is a 365 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 1: couple of touchdown drives. Most likely that'll be enough to 366 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: cover the spread. And I believe the Texans get that 367 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: done here. We're going with Houston plus the points. Chiefs 368 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: will win the game, Texans will win the money, Chiefs 369 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: thirty one, Texans twenty the final and the penny says 370 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: you're crazy, Chief spit all right? Well, back to back 371 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: to the jungle we go here and the football picking jungle. 372 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: We'll go to Chicago. How about that? Philadelphia twelve and 373 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: one at Chicago three and ten. It's on Fox with 374 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: Joe Davis and Darryl Johnson's they come together for this broadcast. 375 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: The Eagles opened a nine point favorite, and they're still 376 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,879 Speaker 1: favored by nine and most everyone thinking again, this is 377 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: free money. Just line up, bet on the Eagles, and 378 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,199 Speaker 1: you're guaranteed to make a profit. And they haven't been 379 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: wrong very often this year. At Soldier Field, temperatures in 380 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: the twenties, but no snow in the forecast at least 381 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: at kickoff. Chicago all in four against the spread their 382 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: last four games, Philadelphia three and oh against the number 383 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 1: of their last three. Justin fields terrible as a home 384 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: underdog in his brief career two and six as he 385 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: tries to spin the Bears out of the grave, which 386 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: they've been in much of the season. In much of 387 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: the last several years, Chicago has not been an eight 388 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: point home underdog since way back in I barely remember that. 389 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: That's so long ago. We're gonna take the Bears in 390 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: this game, Why, well, we're probably idiots, but we're gonna 391 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 1: do it any way. The Bears, everyone's expecting them to 392 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: be roasted. And I always love to go on the 393 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 1: other side of the public. When the public is going 394 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 1: one direction, I want to go the other direction. It's 395 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: kind of like being stuck in gridlocked traffic. If you 396 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: could go the other way and get out of traffic, 397 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: wouldn't you do it, of course you would, all right, 398 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take Chicago over Philly. Philly has been 399 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: in an absolute wagon here. I can give you all 400 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,719 Speaker 1: kinds of numbers. Jalen Hurst looks like Conan the Barbarian 401 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 1: here and an unorthodox Birds offense has been working. But 402 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: you're looking for weaknesses. My roots are to take underdogs. 403 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: The value was on the side of Chicago getting over 404 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Mentioned the stat earlier on home underdogs. How 405 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: good home dogs have been very profitable for those of 406 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: us like to wager on these games. And Philadelphia, the 407 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: one week spot they appear to have is their run 408 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: defense on the road. This year their twenty second in 409 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: the league in run defense. And what's the one thing 410 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: the Bears can do? That's right, they can run the 411 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: ball with justin fields and the helter skelter approach. So 412 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: all he needs a couple of plays here and there 413 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: we'll get that. Eagles win the game, Bears win the bat, 414 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 1: Eagles thirty Bears twenty three, the final and the penny 415 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: cheating off your paper here. Going with Chicago. There's no 416 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: question the deep dish pizza of Chicago. Love that deep 417 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 1: dish pizza. I'm piste off. I didn't eat that when 418 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: I was younger. It's so good, but your stomach is 419 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: so full afterwards. That's all right, at least I didn't 420 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: want I told it so far. I didn't want it 421 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 1: when I was a kid because it had the tomato 422 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 1: sauce on top. I said, who would eat that? But 423 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 1: then I realized I was like, wait a minute, they 424 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: just reversed, So big deal, all right? Now? Next up 425 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at Carolina on CBS with Greg Gumbel and Adam Marceletta. 426 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: Now this is quite the line change. The Steelers opened 427 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: up a three point favorite the Panthers. Carolina currently favored 428 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: by three, so the whole team favorite by three. The 429 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: money is pretty even on this at Bank of America 430 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: Stadium in Charlotte and Carolina. They have lost the eight 431 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: straight games outright as a favorite. That is one shy 432 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: of the longest streak in the Super Bowl era. So 433 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 1: this has not been going well for them. You gotta 434 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: go all the way back to nineteen seventy nine the 435 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks, who were in the NFC at the time. 436 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: The last time a team lost eight nine straight, nine 437 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: straight as a favorite, Carolina. They have covered four straight 438 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 1: games here of late. Both of these teams actually have 439 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 1: done very well against teams that have a losing record. 440 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 1: They have the same record at five and eight. We've 441 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: we've gone back and forth. This is not one of 442 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: those games that's a fifty fifty game for us, So 443 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: it's really more for the penny than us. But we're 444 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: we're locked in on the Pittsburgh steers. Now again, we 445 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: originally like Carolina. I'll tell you why I'm going with 446 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh here. This line movement. The Panthers played very well 447 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: in Seattle, it played well lately, but we like that 448 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh defense to slow down the running game, which is 449 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: really the secret ingredient for Carolina and on offense. With Pittsburgh, 450 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 1: it's a bit of a crapshoot because Kenny pick it 451 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: likely out. If he cannot go, it's either gonna be 452 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: Mitch Drabinsky or Mason Rudolf. Did you see Deonte Johnson 453 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: this week? The white out in Pittsburgh said I want 454 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph. That's not exactly a vote of confidence for 455 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: Mr Robinsky. But either way, this could be an ugly game, 456 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: not a lot of points a lot of punts, turnovers, penalties, 457 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 1: that kind of matchup. Steelers find a way for Mike 458 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: Tomlin to keep the dream alive of not finishing under five. 459 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: They cannot lose another game this season. The Steelers are otherwise, 460 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: They're guaranteed to finish under five hundred. Pittsburgh seventeen, Carolina 461 00:27:55,280 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: thirteen the final and the penny says you're tripping. The 462 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 1: Panthers are gonna claw their way to a victory. No, 463 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: not gonna happen, all right. Next up, the last game 464 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: in the early television window, Dallas ten and three at 465 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: Jacksonville five and eight. It's on Fox with Kevin Burkhardt 466 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,959 Speaker 1: and Greg Olsen the A team as they get her 467 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: done in the broadcast booth. The Cowboys opened up a 468 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 1: six point favorite. They are currently favorite by four in 469 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 1: Jacksonville a t i A A bank Field NICs Corporately 470 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: named Stadium, and the temperatures will be mild in Jacksonville, Florida, 471 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: but sunny at kickoff. The money is pretty even on 472 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: this game. Jacksonville three and oh outright at home as 473 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: a underdog this season, but Dallas six and one against 474 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: the spread as a road favorite. Since the start of 475 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: last season. We have the mother of all trends on 476 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,239 Speaker 1: this game. Jacksonville oh in ten against the spread their 477 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: last ten against NFC teams. They're two and eighteen against 478 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: the spread their last twenty games against out of conference 479 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: NFC opponents. And so that that does not but well, 480 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: the ten game losing streak the longest against the NFC 481 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: by any team since the merger in nineteen seventies. So 482 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: that's over fifty years of of football. We say that 483 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: ends here onwards and upwards. You're gonna go with Jacksonville. 484 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: We're going with Jacksonville. The Jacks have been a bit 485 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: like the Chargers of the East Coast. When you expect 486 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: them to do well, they let you down. When you 487 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: think they won't get or done, they rise up. Last 488 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: week they were given a gift, as the Tennessee Titans said, 489 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: fumba uh, and they gave the ball away multiple times, 490 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: helping Jacksonville end up winning that game. But we are 491 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: advocates all of a sudden, Trevor Lawrence. He's the better 492 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: quarterback in this game. The last month. Trevor Lawrence ten touchdowns, 493 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: no interceptions. The key here for Jacksonville, though, as with 494 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: everyone that plays the Cowboys. This is not brain surgery, 495 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: this is not programming the internet. It's run defense, keep 496 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: it simple, stupid, the kiss method and Jacksonville there ranked 497 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: Danny in the NFL against the run. They've been better 498 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 1: on the road than they have at home, so that 499 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,040 Speaker 1: is a factor here. But if you can just merely 500 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: trip up that great running game with Pollard and Elliott 501 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: and forced Dak Prescott to make plays, that does not 502 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 1: vote well for the Cowboys getting over a field goal 503 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: with a home dog against a shaky Cowboy team. I'm 504 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 1: comfortable with taking Jacksonville despite their recent problems against the 505 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: spread against the NFC. I say Jacksonville wins this game 506 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: out right. Jags thirty three and the Cowboys thirty. The 507 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: fine all and the penny says, nope, you're a prisoner 508 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: of the moment going with the Cowboys. I love when 509 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys lose and then Jerry Jones has his State 510 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: of the Cowboys address after the games on Sunday. It's 511 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 1: so good, it's so it's so I admit it's just 512 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: lazy radio because it's just Jerry freaking out. Everyone's freaking 513 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: out around the Cowboys. It's wonderful. Let's get to the 514 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: late TV windows. We continue on Benny versus the Penny 515 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: of Late Television Window Arizona four and nine at Denver 516 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: three in tenants on Fox. Our friend Chris Myers, part 517 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,960 Speaker 1: of the FSR Alumni Association, and Robert Smith the Old 518 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 1: Viking have the call. Broncos opened a one point favorite. 519 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: They are currently favored by three and I don't quite 520 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: get this at all. And empower field that mile high, 521 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: temperatures in the thirties, Denver, oh and four this season 522 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: as a favorite. Cliff King's are in the Cardinals. They've 523 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: been great as a road underdog. The numbers are ridiculous, 524 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: sixteen five and one against the spread as a road 525 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: dog nine and one since the start of last season. 526 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: We're taking the Cardinals in This game should be played 527 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: in a looney ben. You've got dysfunction junction, what's your function? 528 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: A lot of bitterness on both sides here, and you've 529 00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: got the Broncos who are running in circles with Nathaniel Hackett. 530 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: You've got the Cardinals who are falling apart there without 531 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray the rest of the year and then next year. 532 00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: And it appears the Broncos will likely be without Russell 533 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 1: Wilson at the time we are talking here, Danny g 534 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: Russ in the concussion protocol, it's still up in the 535 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 1: air whether or not he's going to play or not. 536 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: If he is going to play, how good will he be? 537 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: And if he's not gonna play, You've got Brett Rippon 538 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: a tomato can as the backup. I'd rather have his dad, 539 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: who's really old at this point, Mark RiPP and then Bret. 540 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: His dad is is with his uncle, uncle, his uncle. 541 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: But to anyway, listen, Arizona Colt McCoy not good, but 542 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,479 Speaker 1: he's the better quarterback in this game. Denver also may 543 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: end up having five starters, five starters out of the 544 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: all twenty two out with injury. The Cardinals are the 545 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: healthier team even with Kyler Murray being out. We'll take 546 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: Arizona twenty and the Broncos sixteen. And the penny just 547 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: landed in a little puddle on the table here. I 548 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: think that means it just wants to stay out of 549 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: this game. But it landed on heads. That means the Broncos. Alright, Broncos, 550 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: it is so we disagree on that game, and the 551 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 1: next up we move on to Los Angeles or in 552 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: the hood up to No Good and Inglewood. It's So 553 00:33:55,760 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: five Stadium, Tennessee seven and six the Chargers All seven 554 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: and six on CBS with Andrew Catalan and James Lofton. 555 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 1: Chargers opened up a one and a half point favorite. 556 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: They are favored by three in this game l A 557 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: oh and three against the spread. Their last three is 558 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: a home favorite, and since they moved from San Diego 559 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,799 Speaker 1: to l A, the Chargers are eleven games under five 560 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 1: hundred as a home favorite. Justin Herbert, who's been so 561 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: good statistically, he's been terrible, seems to be caught completely 562 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,000 Speaker 1: unaware when the Chargers are favored by three or more points. 563 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: So we're gonna take the Tennessee Titans in this game. 564 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: Last week was an absolute boondoggle for Tennessee. This is 565 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,200 Speaker 1: a chance to save their season. They gave the game 566 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: away against Jacksonville, as we mentioned earlier, and they had 567 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: butter fingers in that game. We assume Mike Rabel's not 568 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: gonna take stupid pills here like the Dolphins did last 569 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: week where they went away from the running game. The 570 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: Chargers blow at stopping the run. Their over all against 571 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: the run. I'm pretty sure Danny g could average about 572 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: six yards per carry against this defense. Uh And and overall, 573 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:13,360 Speaker 1: the NFL teams against the Chargers are getting five point 574 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 1: four yards per carrey. That's the worst per carry run 575 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: defense in the NFL. We're taking the Titans. Remember the 576 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,920 Speaker 1: Titans bounced back game here with Mike Rabol has been 577 00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: so good as an underdog. Titans twenty six, Chargers twenty three. 578 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 1: And the Penny agrees with you on this one. Going 579 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 1: with the Titans al right. Next up Cincinnati nine and 580 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: four at Tampa Bay six and sevens on CBS. This 581 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: is big game for CBS, Jim Nance and Tony Romo. 582 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: The Bengals opened up a two an a half point favorite, 583 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:52,120 Speaker 1: their favorite by three and a half at Raymond James Stadium. 584 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 1: Most everyone and their mother betting on the Bengals eight 585 00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,280 Speaker 1: six percent Cincinnati, why not? There? Ten and one against 586 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: the spread the last eleven That is the number one 587 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 1: record in the NFL. Over the last eleven weeks, Cincinnati 588 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 1: has covered five straight games, one more cover If they 589 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: cover the spread this week, that will be the longest 590 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 1: stretch for the Bengals going all the way back to 591 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: nineteen three. Holy crap, uh, that's a long time ago. 592 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:25,839 Speaker 1: So that's that's how long we have to go back. 593 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,279 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay has been dreadful. Their one nine and one 594 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 1: against the spread in their last eleven games. That is 595 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 1: the worst record in the NFL. Holy Tom Brady in 596 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: that span, we're taking the Bengals. Call us a sucker. 597 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 1: I don't care. I realized Joe Burrow has a tender elbow, 598 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: and there's several receivers that are either in gonna miss 599 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: this game or play and not be But Tampa Bay 600 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: is so bad they are not worth a penny. They're 601 00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: not They're not even worth a penny the way they 602 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: played here. And you look at Burrow in the Bengals, 603 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: and then if you'd imagine in your head that cartoon 604 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: bubble in your head, Cincinnati on offense is like a flamethrower. 605 00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 1: The Buccaneers are like a cigarette lighter that's running out 606 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 1: of fuel. It's a huge mismatch, and I'm a little 607 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: concerned because I'm on the side of the public, and 608 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:21,959 Speaker 1: you never want to be on the side of the public, 609 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 1: cause I've said many times, but I've looked at the numbers. 610 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: I've looked at everything, and I outside of Burrow throwing 611 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:34,640 Speaker 1: three interceptions or running back fumbling and a key injury, 612 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: I just don't see a scenario where this game is 613 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:42,280 Speaker 1: even close in the fourth quarter. Bengals thirty six bucks 614 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:50,279 Speaker 1: seventeen the final penny. Agreeing with you again, going with 615 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: the Bengals, al right. Next up, we've got New England 616 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,759 Speaker 1: seven and six at Las Vegas five and eight. It's 617 00:37:55,840 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: on Fox. Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma have the call Friends. Uh. 618 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,439 Speaker 1: Kenny Albert is a friend of the the radio show 619 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,800 Speaker 1: The Raiders. Your Raiders, Danny opened up a two point favorite. 620 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: They're favored by one and a half at Allegiance Stadium. 621 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: Be sunny fifty degrees, Danny, so make sure you bring 622 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,439 Speaker 1: a sweater fifty degrees there in Vegas at kickoff. Most 623 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 1: people betting on the Raiders in this game. Some of 624 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: the numbers leading into this New England has covered four 625 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 1: straight games as a favorite. The Raiders have covered three 626 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: straight games as an underdog. But remember the Raiders are 627 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,720 Speaker 1: favorite in this game. It's a small line. New England 628 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: four and one against the spread their last five on 629 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: the road. We are going to take the Patriots in 630 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: this game, Sorry, Danny new England staying out west. They 631 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: were in Tucson after they beat the Cardinals on the 632 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: Monday night game. Now they go against the Raiders, who 633 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,680 Speaker 1: had the game in their back pocket till they shipped 634 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: the bed Danny against the Rams there they decided to 635 00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,439 Speaker 1: gargle with Bleach in the late stage of that game. 636 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,399 Speaker 1: What is your opinion of that past that Derek Carr threw? 637 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 1: You want to give your opinion on that, the woggling past. 638 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: It's pretty bad when Brock Purdy is throwing dimes and 639 00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:18,439 Speaker 1: meanwhile Derek Carr in Vegas is falling on his face. Yeah, 640 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 1: Brock Purty, is this this can't last? I mean, this 641 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 1: is like Kurt Warner type stuff, Tom Brady like stuff. 642 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: This is insane what he's been doing here is But anyway, 643 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: and this is about the Raider game. So I'm taking 644 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,320 Speaker 1: the Patriots. As I said, one of the main elements 645 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 1: I looked at is okay, Bill Belichick's defensive mind against 646 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,480 Speaker 1: Derek Carr. Derek Carr gets confused about when he plays 647 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,879 Speaker 1: mediocre defenses. The Patriots have a top notch defense, that's 648 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 1: the top unit on this field on Sunday, and in 649 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: his career, Cars played Belichick three times oh and three. 650 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: In his career, his passer rating is below eighty one 651 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 1: against Patriot defenses. Now we should also mention that Josh 652 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,760 Speaker 1: McDaniels knows where all the bodies are buried in New England. 653 00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: He's he's the secret keeper for Bill Belichick. He knows 654 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 1: all of the weak spots for Mac Jones. The question 655 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: is whether or not the Raiders are good enough on 656 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:25,760 Speaker 1: defense to execute the game plan. And you also wonder 657 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 1: the mental aspect of this because that lost too the 658 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: Rams for all intensive purposes, slam the door shut on 659 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,279 Speaker 1: any realistic bid for the playoffs for the Raiders. So 660 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 1: do they come back here completely flat? I'm gonna take 661 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:46,000 Speaker 1: the Patriots twenty eight and the Raiders sixteen the final 662 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 1: and the penny also going with the cheat triots. It's 663 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,479 Speaker 1: all right, Ben, Raider fans are used to it, Raider 664 00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: Nation versus the world. All right now, Dan, I've got 665 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 1: a homework assignment before you remember when you go to 666 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: the Raider game. I need documentation, cell phone photos. I 667 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:13,280 Speaker 1: want to know the price of a hot dog, a beer, nachos, merchandise. 668 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: I want all of the information. Okay, so just who 669 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 1: we're on the same wavelength. I just want to know. 670 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,839 Speaker 1: I want to give you if and I've never been 671 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: to Allegiance Stadium. I've driven by it every time you 672 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: go to Vegas. You drive right by it on your 673 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: way to the strip when you come from l A. 674 00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: So I want to I want to hear every detail. 675 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: I want to hear how that you know they have 676 00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: good toilet paper in the bathrooms. Is it like Costco 677 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 1: toilet papers? It crappy toilet paper. I wanna hear everything. 678 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 1: Start with the alcohol and work my way down exactly 679 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,279 Speaker 1: the trickle down. In fact, all right, we got two 680 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: games left. Let's get to it. Sunday night football, the 681 00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 1: Giants at seven five and one and the Washington football 682 00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:58,040 Speaker 1: team at seven five and one on and Be you 683 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 1: see the Peacock well not actually Peacock streaming service, the 684 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: real Big NBC. Mike Tariko and Chris Collinsworth have the call. 685 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: The Commanders opened up a four point favorite. They are 686 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:14,800 Speaker 1: favored by four and a half. Sunny temperatures actually not 687 00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 1: sunny because this is a night game, so I don't 688 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: think it'll be sunny at kickoff. But Tempers in the 689 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: twenties at FedEx Field in the Greater Washington, d C. Area. 690 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 1: In land Over, Maryland, Washington six one and one against 691 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 1: the spread their last eight games. Nine of Washington's last 692 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:36,439 Speaker 1: eleven games have gone under the expected total, so they've 693 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 1: usually played plenty low scoring games over the last couple 694 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: of months. We're gonna take the Giants in this game. 695 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,880 Speaker 1: We're betting a trend. It's been a roller coaster ride 696 00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:50,719 Speaker 1: for both of these teams of Washington historically, going back 697 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:57,160 Speaker 1: for over a decade fifteen years, Washington thirteen twenty eight 698 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: and two against the spread in prime time games. They've 699 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 1: actually done better this year. This game flexed It was 700 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 1: supposed to be a day game. It was flexed out. 701 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: The Raiders Patriots game was supposed to be the game. 702 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 1: This was supposed to be the prime time here, but 703 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,759 Speaker 1: instead Giants and Washington that East Coast bias. Washington had 704 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 1: been on the come, as they say in poker. But 705 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,400 Speaker 1: again the game against the Giants, they that was the 706 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 1: last game they play. It's very odd a quirk in 707 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: the schedule. These teams played, had a bye week, and 708 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,560 Speaker 1: now they're back at it playing each other again. Washington 709 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 1: would tend nothing leading that game the gym in taking 710 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,280 Speaker 1: advantage of a Taylor Heineke Ill advised pass. Now. In theory, 711 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: this should be an easy game for Washington. They can 712 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: run the ball with Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson, run right, 713 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: left and center. They can gut absolutely gut that Giants 714 00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:49,840 Speaker 1: defense like a fish. Uh And and they did that 715 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,040 Speaker 1: in week thirteen, they still ended up in a tie. 716 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:53,920 Speaker 1: I'm going the other way though, I'm gonna take the 717 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 1: Giants here. And not that I love Danny Dimes, I 718 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,720 Speaker 1: don't the guys. He's a bombom. The guys a bombom, 719 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,560 Speaker 1: as Joean Rhode Island would say. But divisional game. These 720 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: teams just play. They know each other both. Coming off 721 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: a by, Giants should be able to move the ball 722 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,239 Speaker 1: on the ground with their running game. Commanders twenty seven, 723 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,320 Speaker 1: Giants twenty four. The final within that four and a 724 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 1: half point cushion, the penny go in the other direction. 725 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 1: Commandos are going to be in the wind column here alright. 726 00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 1: Next up, the last game on the card. We save 727 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 1: this turn for the very in Monday night football. Yeah, 728 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 1: all I am as I honor past summer All four 729 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 1: and nine, green Bay five and eight. It is on 730 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 1: EESPN with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, the sellout broadcasters 731 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,279 Speaker 1: over there to ESPN. Good for them. Packers opened up 732 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,760 Speaker 1: a nine and a half point favorite, green Bay favorite 733 00:44:54,840 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 1: by seven at lambo Field and old a forecast. It 734 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,360 Speaker 1: is going to be no snow, but the forecast calls 735 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:08,959 Speaker 1: for a high of nine degrees that kick off, it'll 736 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 1: feel like minus five. I might have to text my 737 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,239 Speaker 1: brother say, hey, how's that heater working. My brother lives 738 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: about thirty miles away from lambeau Field and Appleton, Wisconsin. 739 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,399 Speaker 1: So yikes, yikes, yikes, sikes. He likes it. I guess 740 00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,600 Speaker 1: he lived there for several years. Uh So, I'm gonna 741 00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:31,680 Speaker 1: take the Rams in this game. And here's my my logic. Mind, 742 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 1: I'm not confident that Baker Mayfield is gonna play well. 743 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: Here's the rub on this. And you saw this Danny 744 00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,439 Speaker 1: last week. Baker didn't play well for about eighty five 745 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:45,080 Speaker 1: nine of that game against the Raiders. He was zonked 746 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,879 Speaker 1: most of the game and it wasn't until that late 747 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 1: fourth quarter storybook finish that turned everything around. It's like 748 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,640 Speaker 1: not how you started telling you finished right and that 749 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 1: whole thing. But he was bad most of the game. 750 00:45:57,520 --> 00:45:59,920 Speaker 1: He should be better here because he's actually had some 751 00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: practice time. You would assume the Rams have started to 752 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 1: show a little bit of a pulse. They've come out 753 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 1: of the coma they've been in. And the main thinking, 754 00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, the main point on this game is that 755 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 1: these teams are pretty similar. They're they're both mediocre. Uh, 756 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,239 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is not the same Aaron Rodgers. They don't 757 00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,560 Speaker 1: have the playmakers they have and this is way too 758 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 1: many points. The package should not be favored by seven. 759 00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,080 Speaker 1: I get the whole frozen tundra nonsense and all that. 760 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,279 Speaker 1: And I have seen plenty of RAM teams over the 761 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,200 Speaker 1: years turned into icicles when they go to cold weather. 762 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,880 Speaker 1: It's one of the nightmares of being a fan of 763 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,600 Speaker 1: a West Coast team. They just can't handle the cold weather. 764 00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 1: I'm like, what's the big deal. I got to a 765 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 1: cold wed I put an extra sweater on. It's no 766 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,279 Speaker 1: big deal. These a holes going the cold weather and 767 00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:53,360 Speaker 1: they freeze their ass off. So Packers twenty Rams sixteen 768 00:46:53,440 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 1: the final and the penny going with your Rams. Okay, 769 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,879 Speaker 1: So we agree on that, and that is the full 770 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 1: Monty no days off in the NFL, no buys this week, 771 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 1: so we had a full card and enjoy, enjoy all 772 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,320 Speaker 1: the games coming up tomorrow on Saturday and then again 773 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday. And if you're listening to this podcast on Sunday, 774 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,480 Speaker 1: just fast forward. I probably should have said this earlier, 775 00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,799 Speaker 1: but just fast you probably should have already fast forward 776 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 1: through the games that already we're playing. Yes, it works easy, peasy, 777 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,480 Speaker 1: I think peasy japanesey. No, I can't say that. And 778 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 1: when that's offensive, you could. You could have said that 779 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,719 Speaker 1: up until about seven years ago. I don't. Hey, by 780 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 1: the way, on the Saturday podcast, it's gonna be a 781 00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:49,000 Speaker 1: Ben Maller exclusive, is that right?
