If you thought four hours a day 0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:08.000 dred minutes a week was enough, I think again. He's 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:11.520 the last remnants of the old republic, a sole fashion 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.800 of fairness. He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the 0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:18.600 same as the rich pill poppers in the penthouse. It's 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.320 the clearing house of hot takes. Break free for something special. 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:29.720 The Fifth Hour with Ben Maller starts right now in 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:37.360 the air everywhere a another Fifth Hour with Ben Maller 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.840 and not Danny g Radio. He is away on assignment. 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:43.559 We'll tell you who's in here in a second. But 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:46.560 this is not like the other Fifth Hour, said, you know, 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:50.400 it's our Friday show, and it's a big NFL weekend ahead, 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:56.720 And so that means Benny versus the petty welcome players. 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:06.560 You're welcome, are you? It's time now, penny versus the penny. Alright, 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.480 the big open right there. So that was the big 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:12.479 highly produced open and in for Danny g all weekend long. 0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.000 We told you a big name. We said we were 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:19.160 going to get the biggest name possible, a star. The 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.160 fs are insider. I mean, how lucky are we to 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:28.360 have this guy? He's a Vegan Alex Tysher, also known 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:32.959 affectionately as Alex the Vegan, who's the voice of the Penny. 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:34.560 And it's good to have you Alex here, as you 0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:39.120 will be your first maiden voyage as the face of 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.560 the Penny. Bennet's an honor. But right now, getting a 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:43.759 phone call from my insiders at FSR. Should I take 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.760 this caller? Should I hold on? Oh? I don't know, 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.040 this is I mean, this is important here. You're you 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.559 are You're the man that knows all. You're the Harvey 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.960 Levin of Fox Sports Radio. You know where all the 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.440 bodies are buried. My man, Well, my man. Also the 0:01:56.520 --> 0:01:59.000 roaches too, but that's for another story. Well, yes, they're 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.880 right behind you. I think right now that is amazing. 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.360 They have not well we'll talk about that in another episode. 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.040 Of the fact that roaches have lived, well not they're 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.880 not living, but they haven't degraded. It's a fascinating thing. Yeah, 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:13.720 I think they're on the same thing. The McDonald's French 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.600 fries are ben It lives. It lives up to the 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:21.880 legend of the cockroach surviving a nuclear event, which I 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.240 heard is is not true. But I don't know. I 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.720 look at that anyway, those cock roaches are are stuck 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.880 in glass are It's amazing. But Bennett's an honor. I 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:33.960 have a coin here. It is sparkly. It's a brand 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:35.679 new quarter. I don't know what year it is, but 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.280 let's have some fun, dude, Let's do this. So it's 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:40.280 it's Benny versus the quarter now, not Benny versus the penny. 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.760 All right, well we'll get it, all right, So here 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.040 we go. Let's get started. In the first game, Carolina 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:52.040 and Baltimore on Fox with Kevin Coogler and Mark Sanchez, 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.680 the guy from the butt fumble on the call and 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:58.720 Carolina three and seven Baltimore six and three. The Ravens 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.560 opened a third teen point favorite. They're favored by twelve 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:06.200 right now. Most of the money is on Baltimore Sunny 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:10.840 forties a kickoff at MMT Bank Stadium the Ravens. You 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:12.800 look at some of the numbers on this game, Baltimore 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.080 eight and two against the spread as double digit favorites 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:20.360 with Lamar Jackson as the starter. But overall in the 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:24.799 NFL this year, double digit underdogs since Week seven or 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.400 six and one and have a winning record. And I 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:30.760 want to take the Carolina Panthers. Now, I can't tell 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.440 you I love Baker Mayfield. I don't. I don't. That's 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.080 a downgrade from p J. Walker, which is shocking in itself. 0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:41.160 Mayfield was the NFL's fifth worst quarterback when he last played. 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:44.840 That fun fact almost caused me to take the Ravens 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.440 and lay the massive point spread, but I simply cannot 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.960 do it. Part of my DNA as a gamer gambler 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.400 as I've been doing this is I I cannot. I 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.720 very rarely will I lay more than a touchdown and 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.760 this is there's almost two touchdown is in this game. 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:04.040 So how can Carolina keep this game close? Well, the 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.680 way I would approach it Deante Foreman, who has been 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.000 wonderful the last month at running back Manna from Heaven. 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:14.120 He's got to keep that going. Obviously, long time consuming drive, short, 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.840 high percentage passes underneath where Baker can't fff it up. 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:22.840 Couple of fumbles by Lamar Jackson or interceptions or some 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.880 kind of turnovers by the Ravens. It's not that complex 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.080 to keep a game like this close. And the Panthers 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.560 also could play Sam Donald, which is not really that 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.400 big a deal at all, but Baltimore has not been 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:37.480 a great home team. They're owing three against the spread 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:41.640 at home as a favorite this season, and Lamar Jackson, 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.240 in his career at home as a favorite has a 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:49.320 losing record these six games under five against the spread, 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.440 not straight up, but against the spread. Ravens thirty one, 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:56.120 Panthers twenty the final, and a penny or Carter or 0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:03.719 whatever picks salesman. The penny goes tales, alright, the penny 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.280 going tales. So that means the road team as home 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.720 team heads and road team tales because you're sitting here 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:14.400 behind on the road. So the penny picking the Carolina 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.680 Panthers in that game. Next up here we go Cleveland 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:23.320 at Buffalo, the Browns three and six, the Bills six 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:27.240 and three on CBS with Andrew Catalan and James lofton. 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.960 The Bills opened up an eight and a half point favorite. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:32.360 The line has stayed the same most of the money 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:36.000 on the Bills. But a big change, a big change, 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.200 And we would not have known this if we had 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.920 recorded the the benny versus the penny at the normal time. 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.160 But the big change here the snow, the blizzard. Let 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:47.960 us know, let us know, let us know. We're so 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:51.000 excited to watch this game at High March Stadium in 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:55.440 Buffalo because of the blizzard this weekend. But no, the 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.840 lawyers have gotten involved in The NFL has relocated the 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:04.160 particular game out of western New York. The Bills Mafia 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:08.760 will have to travel across the Upper Midwest there to 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:13.800 d Detroit, Michigan. The game moved to Ford Field. I 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:18.320 always love this one. Tysher out of an abundance of caution, 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.039 which you can say about literally anything in life. You 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:26.760 can do anything you want. Am I correct? Yes? We 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:28.839 heard that a lot during the pandemic, didn't We had 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.920 about can't you can't eat a steak at a restaurant? 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.919 You can't. You can't you know, talk to your friends 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:37.599 because it's in a you know, it's like, come on, 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.880 can't see grandma, Ben, Yeah, grandma's ninety years old, but 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.240 you can't see grandma out of an abundance anyway, all right, 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.479 So that's the games have moved to Detroit. Some of 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:48.280 the numbers on this game, Cleveland. You look at Kevin 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.520 STEFFANTSI seven and one against the spread as an underdog 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.240 of at least three and a half points. His largest 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.159 mark as an underdog the Cleveland coach eight points in 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.400 the Division no playoff game at Kansas City, which Cleveland 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:06.119 did cover in that game in Buffalo, oh and three 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.080 against the spread their last three games with back to 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.360 back upset losses as at least a six and a 0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:15.840 point favorite. Now check this out. Only two teams in 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.360 the Super Bowl era have lost three straight games, all 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.920 as at least a six and a point favorite. Uh. 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.000 And that goes back to New Orleans and O two 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:28.760 twenty years ago. Miami almost thirty years ago did it, 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:32.440 and Buffalo they've been favored in every game this year. Anyway, 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:33.840 get to the point, please, I want to take the 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.960 brows now. Originally, when I handicapped this game, I was 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.680 expecting blizzard like conditions with multiple feet of snow on 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.920 the ground and all that. But I still don't trust 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.200 the Bills. Josh Allen has been turning the ball over. 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.080 He's got two turnovers per game each week. The schedules 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:51.520 all messed up, uh, changing last minute changes. We'll see 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.360 which team adjust the better. But I like the Cleveland 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:58.120 running game. We saw the Vikings have success on the 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.560 ground last week, and you imagine that Cleveland's gonna mimic 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.640 that it's a copycat league. We always hear that. With 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.720 Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt premium running backs there. The 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.000 Bills run defenses ranked twentieth, so that very good. You're 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:13.800 mixing a couple of interceptions here. Uh, And it's just 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.560 the kids that the Bills don't really run the ball. 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.280 They don't even try to run the ball that much. 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.000 So I expect this to be a low scoring game, 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.320 even though it's now been moved to Detroit. I'll take 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:29.480 the Bills twenty and the Browns thirteen the final and 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:36.640 the Penny Pecks tails again. Man, all right, so that 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.040 would be the Cleveland Browns there, the road team. So 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.240 we've agreed all this handicapping. We're agreeing. What's going on? 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:48.479 All right? Next up Philadelphia eight and one at Indianapolis 0:08:48.520 --> 0:08:52.120 four five and one is on CBS with Iron Eagle 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.600 and Charles Davis. They have the call. The Eagles opened 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.640 up a ten a ten point favorite. They are six 0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:02.280 and a half point road favor Rits seventy five degrees 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:09.240 are but inside Lucas Oil Stadium, but seventy of the 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.920 money on the Eagles. That's a big number, Sonny, and 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:17.280 in the twenties outside the Dome Stadium in Indianapolis, and 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:20.319 I'm gonna take the Colts in this game. Jalen Hurts 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:25.000 and the Birds served up a bag of slop in 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.000 the Monday night football clunker against Washington. Now they have 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.800 a chance to get the taste out of their mouth 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.480 right away, right t V t V hot teg Artist 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.800 Jeff Saturday and Indy on the other side. But the reason, 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:39.360 the many reason I'm going with the horse shoes is 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.040 the injury starting to pile up for Philadelphia. They'll be 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:45.840 without tight end Dallas Goddard, bad shoulder, He's out, and 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:49.959 that has been the safety blanket for Jalen Hurts, who 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:53.520 has not been a good play on the road. Hurts 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.240 is five and ten for Gamblers against the spread in 0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.080 his career on the road, two and six as a 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.600 road favorite this season. The Eagles, even with that great 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:07.120 record at eight and one, are one in three against 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.720 the spread. So I know that tells you what has happened, 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:12.080 not what's going to happen. But with God it out, 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.600 some other injuries in the secondary and whatnot defensive front, 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.760 it's not a good set up on this short week 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.400 for the Eagles and the Colts. You look at that 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.679 ability to run the ball with Jonathan Taylor. They got 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.520 their mojo back last week against the Raiders, who are 0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:34.360 not particularly good. But nevertheless, I'm gonna take the Colts 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:36.280 here to win the game. Eagles will be on a 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:40.840 two game losing streak. Eagles go down. Colts twenty six, 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:48.000 Eagles twenty three. The final and the penny picks, Ben, 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.280 You'll never believe this tails again? Is that right? So? 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.080 Three for three on? Are you sure it's not a two? 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:59.760 It's like the tails on. There is a there is 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.240 a just doesn't use its heads, alright, So the road 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:05.240 team three for three on the penny picks. By the way, 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.400 Jeff Saturday trying to be the eighth coach in the 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.680 Super Bowl Era to win each of his first two games, 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:14.640 both as an underdog. No coach none in the Super 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.680 Bowl era has won each of the first two games 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.280 as at least a four point dog. So, for whatever 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:22.160 that's worth, Saturday has a chance to do it. Next 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:26.319 up Washington five and five at Houston one, seven and one. 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:30.000 It's on Fox and a member of the Fox Sports 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:34.640 Radio Alumni Association, Chris Myers has the call with Robert Smith. 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:38.400 The Commanders opened up a two and a half point 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:42.120 road favorite. They are favorite by three, and everyone thinks 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.400 now the Commanders are just gonna roll the rest of 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:47.960 their games here, certainly this week over of the Handle 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.280 in favor of Washington. It is a dome at NRG 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:55.280 Stadium in Houston, temperatures in the in the forties in 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.800 the greater Houston area at kickoff, not that that will 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:04.320 affect the game in a way. And the Washington football team, 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.679 formerly known as the Redskins, two and eight their last 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.319 ten games on the road versus teams that suck, bad 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:14.920 teams with a winning percentage similar to Houston, and the 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:19.000 Texans have been a good dog both at home and 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.560 wherever they play. With Davis Mills last fifteen games, they 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:26.080 have a winning record. I'm gonna take Houston in this game, 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:30.160 and I'm betting a mental angle to this, So bear 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.640 with me. The Commanders. They get their signature win on 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:36.120 Monday Night, they beat a the Big Bad Eagles. Now 0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.760 they have to go back to reality, back to the 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.199 duldrums of the NFL's they play. They went from the 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.080 best team, the top team, the Eagles. Now they play 0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.280 the worst team in the Texans and while Brian Robinson 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.400 and Antonio Gibson were great running the ball, now they 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.480 go against the last ranked run defense. This is so easy. 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:58.400 Show up Pasco, collect two hundred dollars and a win, 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.520 but I expect a flat forms. They've been smelling themselves 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.520 all week. Everyone's on the television has been kissing their ass. 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:11.200 The internet, Oh you're so good. Wait now the the 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.720 Taylor Heinecke mistake. I would start Heineke. He's gonna continue 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.520 to start here, but he has been mistake prone. The 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.440 Eagles had a couple of interceptions, a couple of turnovers 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.360 there they blew last week. So I'm gonna ride the 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.120 running game. Damian Pierce the only really good player that 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:29.640 Texans have, and the Texas have have won the statueet 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.600 in most of these games. They've just made the big 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:35.800 boo boo, the big whoopsie to cost them the gambling 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.400 money in some of these recent losses. But I'm gonna 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.440 take them to hang around. This is gonna be a 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:44.280 grinded out kind of game. Washington will win the game 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:48.360 twenty to nineteen over the Texans, but because of the 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:52.120 point spread, the Texans will win the money, and that 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:58.280 penny picks Ben. We have our first heads of the nights, 0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:02.480 all right, So the penny's picking the Texans. So there 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.600 you are, right, penny picking the Texans on that. Next up, 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:08.600 the New York Jets at New England Jets six and three, 0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:12.679 New England five and four. It's on CBS with Kevin 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.960 Harlan and Trent Green. And the Patriots opened a four 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:17.760 and a half point favorite, their favorite by three and 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:21.720 a half as most everyone betting on the Patriots on 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:26.520 this particular day, Sonny in the forties in the Commonwealth 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:30.480 at Gillette Stadium, and I'm gonna take the Patriots in 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:33.960 this game. I'm going with the public, which is always dangerous. 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.960 I like to go against the public. But Bill Belichick 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.560 has been an absolute ninja. He hasn't lost his superpower 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.160 since Tom Brady left. When it comes to playing the 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:46.160 Jets and the mind games that he's gonna play with 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:50.200 Zach Wilson. Zach Wilson will be like play Doh in 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:53.160 his hand, and Belichick can shape this anyway. He wants 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:58.400 Wilson oh in three with two touchdowns, seven interceptions against 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:02.080 Bill Belichick's defense in his career. They just played a 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.040 couple of weeks ago, and Zach Wilson was terrible. Now, 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:09.000 the concern here is that for the Patriots, Mac Jones 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:13.920 blows and he's the obviously the guy starting for New 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.000 England in this game. So the quarterback matchup seems to 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:19.480 be washed. Whatever team can hide the quarterback more efficiently 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.080 will win the game. I'm betting on that, being the 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:27.080 Patriots were counting on Romandre Stevenson and the running game 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.480 mixed with the past defense to get the job done. 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:33.080 Patriots are eight and two against the spread their last 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.280 ten against the Jets with Belichick, and even though mac 0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.760 Jones has not been statistically very good at all at home, 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.560 the Patriots are five and two against the spread their 0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:47.040 last seven games, and so there there are some positives 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.400 there for the Patriots. Pat Pats will win the game. 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:54.440 Patriots seven and the Jets twenty one, And the Penny 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:59.160 picks heads again Ben alright, so the Penny going with 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:03.160 the Patriots piggybacking my work there in this game. Next 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:06.720 up Detroit the Lions at three and six at the 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:10.640 New York Giants seven and two. It's on Fox. Kevin 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.240 Burkhardt and greg Olsen have a call. That's the A 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:18.200 team for Fox. The Giants opened a four point favorite. 0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:22.160 They are favored by three and a lean in favor 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:25.400 of the Giants. Here about six of the money on 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:29.480 the Giants. That forecast calls for light rain in New Jersey, 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:33.520 temperatures in the forties. It's a beautiful chamber of commerce 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:37.680 kind of day in New Jersey there at MetLife Stadium. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.920 And I'm gonna take the Lions in this game. The 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:45.560 Giants are seven and two, as we said, but they're flimsy. 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:51.000 NFL's worst. Texans out gained them last week. They struggled 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.720 to get by the Titans and Panthers earlier this season. Meanwhile, 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.880 the Lions, they're not very good. They're three and six, 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:02.040 but they have one two straight and I love the 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:06.240 Lion defense, which is statistically terrible. But Aidan Hutchinson up front, 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.200 They've gotten guys back Detroit and they should be able 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.159 to mess up Sequon Barkley in that running game and 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:16.720 also get to Danny Dimes or White Vic or whatever 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:20.840 they're calling them there, uh, light Chocolate, whatever his nickname is. 0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:24.040 But the the interior of the Detroit defense will cause 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.240 some heartache and the Lions should be able to move 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:31.359 the ball. That combo of aman ras St Brown, the 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.600 white out DeAndre Swift, that they're those guys are playmakers. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:37.560 I think the Lions actually win this game. Everyone's been 0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:39.880 what's wrong with the Giants? I can't believe they lost 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:43.360 the Lions. The Lions will be four and six, Lions 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:48.120 twenty four, Giants twenty three. The final and the penny pick. 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:54.119 The penny is going tales Ben all right, going to 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:57.960 so the penny going with the Detroit Lions in that 0:17:58.080 --> 0:18:02.440 particular game. Dan Campbell a winning record over the last 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.760 twenty six games. He's seven games above five hundred against 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.960 the spread. And Jared Goff, the much maligned former Ram quarterback, 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:14.800 last ten games, six games over five four gamblers against 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.960 the spread. Alright, Moving on l I am is it 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:21.200 three and six in New Orleans? Three and seven? It's 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:25.480 on Fox A friend of our overnight show. Kenny Albert 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:30.240 and Jonathan Vilma have the call, as they will try 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:33.800 to upsell this game. The Saints favorite Rams open to 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.760 one point, Favorite Stants for favorite by four, and the 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.240 handle on this it's as high as I've ever seen. 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:46.160 It's over nine of the money is on New Orleans 0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:50.080 at the super Dome, temperatures in the fifties outside in 0:18:50.160 --> 0:18:53.200 the Bayou. And you look at some of the numbers here, 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:56.160 the Rams two and eight against the spread their last 0:18:56.240 --> 0:19:00.840 ten games on non grass fields. Sean McVeigh overall last 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:05.200 fifteen games, six games under five. But I'm a glutton 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:09.200 for punishment. I doubt play nice in the sandbox. I'm 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.159 gonna take the Rams in this game. And this is 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:14.520 a game I've gone back and forth on the main 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:18.040 reason I'm betting on the Rams, and again it is 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:21.160 because I'm betting against the Saints. I just can't bet 0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:25.919 on Dennis Allen and I cannot trust Andy Dalton. The 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.320 Rams have the top unit in this game. They have 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:32.719 the top defense. The Saints are completely ravaged by injuries, 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:34.440 and so are the Rams. Cooper Cups not playing in 0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.199 this game, and say, how are the Rams possibly going 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:40.040 to generate offense? Matthew Stafford's coming back from concussion protocol 0:19:40.520 --> 0:19:42.800 and he hasn't been good. And the Rams you look 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:44.600 at us like if no one's been any good moving 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:46.359 the ball. The Rams might not get a first down 0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.280 in this game, but they'll figure out a way and 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:53.000 and the great equalizers the turnover and the Rams defense 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:57.080 should be able to pick off Andy Dalton one or 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.840 two times. This is going to be in terrific before 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:04.119 it could be like a biblically bad offensive game. Dennis 0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:06.720 Allen three and seven against the spread in his career 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.720 as a favorite, and that includes a losing record with 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.160 the Saints New Orleans one and four against the spread 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:15.639 their last five games. And I want to take the 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:22.400 Rams Rams thirteen Saints twelve the final, and the penny 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:28.840 picking the penny is going tales Ben alright, So the 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:34.040 penny picking the Rams in that game as well. Next 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:38.720 up Chicago, Sweet Home Chicago on the road, three and seven. 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:42.040 The Bears versus Atlanta four and six. It's on Fox. 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:48.040 Joe Davis and Darryl Moose Johnston have the call. The 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:51.480 Falcons opened a four point favorite. They're still favored by 0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:55.400 four slight lean on the money to Chicago, although it's 0:20:55.400 --> 0:20:59.720 not overwhelming, sunny temperatures in the forties at the Georgia 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.680 Dole Home whatever they're calling it now. Mercedes Benz doome 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:07.800 uh in Atlanta, and I'm gonna take the Bears in 0:21:07.800 --> 0:21:09.280 this game. Now, the Bears have been bad at the 0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:12.800 basics blocking and tackling, but so have the Atlanta Falcons, 0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:17.040 and Justin Fields has been a one man band. He's 0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:21.400 been styling and profiling the last month. Fields last three 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:25.960 weeks has seven touchdown passes, one interception. You're mixing the 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:29.120 ten yards per carry the four rushing touchdowns. He's got 0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:33.480 eleven touchdowns and one interception the last three weeks. He's 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:38.560 been great. The Bears defense, though, has been equally terrible. Regardless, uh, 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:40.679 even though Chicago hasn't won the game, these games have 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:44.879 all been high scoring, back and forth games in Atlanta 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:47.400 is so bad they're owing four against the spread their 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:50.320 last four. They started the year six and oh against 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:53.600 the number. Atlanta is one and four as a home 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:58.280 favorite under their head coach Arthur Smith. And I just 0:21:58.320 --> 0:22:00.920 see this going back and forth, act and forth, and 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:05.080 because of that, we're getting over a field goal. The 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:09.200 Falcons eventually will come apart at the seams here. Chicago's 0:22:09.240 --> 0:22:12.040 defense is weak sauce, so expect this to be another 0:22:12.280 --> 0:22:16.639 arcade at the midway type game. End up Bears. The 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:21.560 Chicago Bears get in the wind column Bears thirty one 0:22:21.800 --> 0:22:26.120 and the Falcons thirty in that fun House of Mirrors 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:30.960 and the penny picks. The penny is going heads Big Ben. Alright, 0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:33.720 the penny is going ahead, So Penny taking the Atlanta Falcons. 0:22:33.720 --> 0:22:39.560 A disagreement in that game. Moving to the late television window. 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:41.760 We're doing good on timing, by the way, Alex, We're 0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:44.720 doing very good on sensational Ben. Alex has places to 0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:48.920 go and things to do. So Las Vegas two and seven, 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:53.040 Denver three and six, it's on Fox with Adam Aman 0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:57.280 and Mark slay Rick. The Broncos opened a two and 0:22:57.280 --> 0:22:59.280 a half point favor They're still favored by two and 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:03.080 a half in this game, and most of the money 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:07.000 is on the Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High. 0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:09.880 That is a great outdoors. I know you're in awe. 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:12.480 They're actually playing football in the great outdoors in cold weather, 0:23:13.000 --> 0:23:17.160 sunny and temperatures in the thirties at kickoff. It's on 0:23:17.440 --> 0:23:20.840 like Donkey Kong and I'm gonna take the Raiders in 0:23:20.840 --> 0:23:22.719 this game, even though the Raiders are owing three their 0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:26.640 last three games here. Josh McDaniels has been terrible in 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:29.760 his NFL career. After that six and oh start for gamblers. 0:23:29.760 --> 0:23:32.960 He's ten and twenty one his last thirty one games. 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:37.320 But this matchup is Russell Wilson, who's the snail versus 0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:40.320 Derek Carr, the three toed sloth. Neither one of these 0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:43.200 teams can score much at all. The Raiders and Broncos 0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:47.480 over the last month are both averaging thirteen point three 0:23:47.520 --> 0:23:52.800 points per game. P you what stinks? Man? Is that 0:23:52.840 --> 0:23:56.800
