1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: This is the Action Network podcast, but this one is good. 2 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 2: All right. 3 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:14,159 Speaker 1: Here we go throwing in so sick. I'm sitting in 4 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,280 Speaker 1: to cash. 5 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 2: We see most gamblers when they go to gamble, they 6 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 2: go to wind. That's incredible, big bank, small banks. 7 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: I like to make money. 8 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 2: All right, this is the ultimate kabai. 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 3: You want to pack. 10 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 1: And we are underway. 11 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 3: Welcome to the Action Network Podcast. I'm Brandon Anderson, joined 12 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 3: as always by Raheem Palmer. Here to wrap up a 13 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 3: crazy week four. Tom Brady drove for the late win 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,639 Speaker 3: in New England, just as the prophecy foretold. The Cardinals 15 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 3: took the Rams behind the woodshed and a matchup of unbeatens. 16 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 3: We got wild finishes all day. We haven't got wins 17 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 3: for the Jets and the Giants to start the season. Raheem, 18 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: it looks like you racked up a ton of wins 19 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 3: on the Action app today. 20 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: How'd you do? 21 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? So we turned up today. We went twelve and 22 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: two straight up on Spreads totals A's teasers. We knocked 23 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: them out the part. The only disappointment for me is 24 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: that I continue to struggle when it comes to these 25 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: football contests. I'm three and two once again. I've gone 26 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: three and two just by every single week of this year, 27 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: and going three and two is great when you're trying 28 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: to overcome the big minus one ten fifty two point 29 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: three eight percent. Hitting sixty percent is great, But when 30 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: you're trying to win these contests, you got to hit 31 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: upwards of sixty percent seventy percent. So I gotta I 32 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: gotta get the ball roll and haven't played myself out 33 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,839 Speaker 1: of it yet, but we're gonna hopefully turn this thing around. 34 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, at least at three and two, you're 35 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 3: keeping yourself in the game. You know, two and three 36 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 3: a struggle, one and four, zero and five you might 37 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: be out of it already, so you're hanging in there. 38 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 3: You just need to get hanging one to five and 39 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 3: no week and you'll pull it right back out to 40 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 3: the front of that. But we're gonna run through the 41 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: entire Sunday slate with betting takeaways for every game. We 42 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 3: will hit money and at football the pre and picks, 43 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: and finished with our Week five hot read get some 44 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 3: early winners. 45 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 2: We continue to be hot in that section as always. 46 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 3: Odds today are for BETDOMGM, the official odds provider of 47 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 3: the Action Network. Podcast, And let's start out with where 48 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 3: we ended Tom Brady the triumphant return to New England. 49 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 2: Where we start with this one. I kind of lived 50 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: up to everything we expected. 51 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 1: I personally started. I feel like the Bucks underperformed in 52 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: this matchup. It just felt like this was a game 53 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: that they probably should have won by touchdown. They probably 54 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: should have covered, but for whatever reason, whether the the 55 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: Belichick magic or Foxborough or the rain, they just didn't 56 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: do what they needed to do to get the cover 57 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: For the ninety six percent of people who decided to 58 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: bet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tonight. Of course, they were 59 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: one for four in the red zone, they missed the 60 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: field goal. I mean, this team outperformed them in every 61 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: single category, more first downs, more yards. For whatever reason, 62 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: it just felt like the Patriots are hanging on. What 63 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: were your thoughts on this game? 64 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 3: This played out exactly like we talked about on a Friday. 65 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 3: You know, our buddy Matt Moore at Action Network always 66 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 3: says an NBA to bet the narrative. How many times 67 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 3: have we seen Bill Belichick coaching against one of these 68 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 3: elite offenses and it just comes the same thing every time. 69 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 3: It's like slow everything down, grind it out. No runs today. 70 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 3: The Patriots only ran eight times for minus one yard 71 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 3: all game, but lots of just short underneath. Just keep 72 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 3: it moving, keep the clock moving, make it easy for 73 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 3: mac Jones. And there we go, first half seven six 74 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 3: easy under Like we said, slow possession ball. The clock 75 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 3: just keeps ticking, keeps ticking, and it's like you just 76 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 3: want a shorter game, you want to shorten it. Keep 77 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: Brady on the sidelines, Patriots cover and then for all 78 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: the narrative, Tom Brady late drive in New England down 79 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 3: the field just like yeahwa's does it's am in position 80 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 3: for the field goal. Now, I wondered, would we get 81 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: the twist, would we get mac Jones returning the favor, 82 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 3: and then of course we get down there, we get 83 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 3: the field goal attempt, the long one joints off the crossbar, 84 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: because of course it does more narrative box win. We 85 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 3: had that one at plus three ten of bucks to 86 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 3: win by one to six at bet MGM, which we 87 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 3: gave out on our Friday pod, So I'm feeling good 88 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 3: about that. We checked off every narrative box on this one. 89 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: Got a doby. I didn't necessarily see it, but it 90 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: was a game that I wasn't really interested in playing 91 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: just because so much of the public was on that side, 92 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: so I kind of stayed away from me. 93 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, sloppy game too with all that rain certainly played 94 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 3: into the Patriots favor because you want it, that helped 95 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: slow things down. Tom Brady was struggling, I think early, 96 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: and kind of took something off as pass as late. 97 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 3: I was a little impressed actually, as messy as it 98 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 3: was before the kneel down to end the game, the 99 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 3: drives were touchdown, touchdown, field goal, field goal, field goal, 100 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 3: missed field goal. But if not for that last miss, 101 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,119 Speaker 3: we would have basically ended the game on six straight 102 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 3: scoring drives, which, considering the stakes, considering the weather and 103 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 3: what was happening in that game, pretty impress of. We've 104 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 3: talked about the Bucks injuries all year. Carlton Davis went 105 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 3: out the hamstring injury just before halftime, Jamel Dean already out, 106 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: Sean Murphy Bunting already out. That's all three of the 107 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 3: top corners. Antoine Winfield went out late, and the concussion 108 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 3: of protocols, we don't know what's happening with him. The 109 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 3: secondary is going to be a big problem. 110 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: For Tampa Bay of course, and then when you look 111 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: at Richard Sherman and Matt Jones, when he threw to 112 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: his side, he was actually seven for seven when Richard 113 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: Sherman was the nearest defender, and that was like halfway 114 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: through the game. So it's just I think this secondary 115 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: is gonna be a problem. And if Tom Brady and 116 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers they can't continue to score points at will, 117 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna have some problems. 118 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,359 Speaker 3: Well, I noticed that at the very least you're calling 119 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 3: him Mac Jones. Now McCorkle has been retired, Mike Michael 120 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 3: is gone. 121 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: Here. Did he earn Mac from you tonight? 122 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 3: Oh? 123 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, without a doubt. He played really well tonight. I 124 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: can't have any criticism. He let him down. Now obviously 125 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: they didn't. They missed the field goal at the end, 126 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: but he put them position to win. 127 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 3: So yeah, I haven't seen Rookie of the Year odds 128 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,279 Speaker 3: open up yet, but I have to believe, even with 129 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 3: the loss, that he's probably the leader in that one. 130 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 3: I got a couple other names to talk about with 131 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year coming up. But Tom Brady of 132 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 3: course set the all time passing yards record even that 133 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 3: was this weird kind of ampti climactic play where it 134 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: happened we went to a break, we took a time out, 135 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 3: came back and we're like, oh, just kidding, he had 136 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: an extra yard. 137 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 2: So that was that one. It was a weird night. 138 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 3: We got way too much Steve Belichick floating around the internet, 139 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: way too many close ups of him. 140 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: You know, lots of memes in this game. 141 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 3: Not a lot of spectacular football, but we hit all 142 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 3: the narratives. 143 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, I also hit the under on his games. 144 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: If anybody trailed me, hopefully you can. You can buy 145 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: yourself a nice dinner or something. 146 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we hit well on this one. We 147 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: had a first half under, we had the full game 148 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 3: under from you. We had that Bucks close when Patriots 149 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 3: cover checked all the boxes on this one. So is 150 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 3: a big day in the NFC West. We finally had 151 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 3: all these top teams playing each other. I think the 152 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 3: marquee game of the day, no doubt, was the two 153 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 3: three to zero teams facing off, the Arizona Cardinals and 154 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 3: the Los Angeles Rams. This game was not even close 155 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: from the get go. The Cardinals destroyed the Rams on 156 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 3: the road thirty seven to twenty. You and I both 157 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 3: missed the bout on this one. Well, you were on 158 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 3: it early, but we were on the Rams late. I 159 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 3: really missed about what happened to the Rams here. 160 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: This was a strange game to me coming in and 161 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: there was a ton of sharp money on the Arizona 162 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: Cardinals coming into this game. I gave out the Arizona 163 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: Cardinals plus six on the hot read last week, and 164 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: then towards the end of the week you start to 165 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: see that they had three offensive linemen who just missing 166 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: practice the entire week. So I came into this game 167 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: thinking that the Rams defensive line would dominate and that 168 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: was anything with the case. Kyler Burray went out there, 169 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: he had a total EPA of fifteen point seven. This 170 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: guy threw two hundred and sixty eight yards two touchdowns, 171 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: and then it just felt like on every single third 172 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: down you'd have this team backed up third and sixth 173 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: team either Kyler Murray's just running for a third down 174 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: or he's converting it with a pass play. And you 175 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: looked at this team this, I mean, this Rams defense 176 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: was just so sob The Cardinals had a success rate 177 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: of fifty five percent or passing downs. They had a 178 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: success rate of sixty one percent with thirty four percent 179 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: of their passplay. He's going for first downs. I mean, 180 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: this Rams team could just not stop them. And then 181 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: when he came to them on offense, I mean, the 182 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: Rams just struggled to convert. It looks like the Cardinals 183 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: are probably the best team in the NFC West right now. 184 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 3: It looks like they're the best team in the NFC, 185 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 3: maybe the best team in the NFL right now. So 186 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: we'll come back to that. But to me, I'm not 187 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 3: so worried about the Rams on this one. It reads 188 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 3: is just kind of one of those days. You know, 189 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 3: Stafford had a deep interception on the second drive of 190 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 3: the game. Sony Michelle fumbled on the first play after 191 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 3: touchback early in the second quarter, So suddenly you're down 192 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 3: twenty one to ten, just like that. On these you know, 193 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 3: short easy touchdowns, your defense is already getting tired it 194 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: out because they've been on the field a lot. Next drive, 195 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 3: Stafford misses Cooper Cup deep for a touchdown. He's been 196 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 3: hitting Cup on everything all season. On the second half, 197 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: the Rams missed a field goal, they had a turnover 198 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: and downs on the one. 199 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 2: You know, it just everything went wrong. We've seen that. 200 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 3: You know, we saw that from the Packers in Week one. 201 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 3: They've won every game since then. I'm not so worried 202 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 3: about that. The offense, I thought moved the ball. Fine, 203 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 3: Definitely agree with you. The defense is the real concern here. 204 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 3: The Cardinals went three and out on the first drive 205 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: and then scored on seven of their eight remaining drives 206 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 3: in the game before kneeling at the end. Arizona had 207 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: drives of eighty seven yards, seventy five, seventy sixty four, 208 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 3: ninety four. That's just chewing up yards. And those aren't 209 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 3: huge plays either, like Arizona had been scoring. That's just 210 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 3: moving the ball down the field. Arizona raumd the ball 211 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 3: forty times and they were eight of thirteen and the 212 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 3: third downs. The Rams just couldn't get out the field. 213 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 3: So we talked about them earlier this year. You know, 214 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: the Rams couldn't get off the field against the Bears, 215 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 3: but then held up in the red zone. They couldn't 216 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 3: get out the field against the Colts than they held 217 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 3: on and it feels like things are starting to come 218 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: home to roost. 219 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: A little bit here. 220 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 3: They've got to play a lot of good teams still, 221 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 3: and you know, more and more where we're seeing these teams, 222 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 3: these top contenders, where their offenses are awesome but can't 223 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 3: stay on the field long enough and the defenses can't 224 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: get them off the field. So it's a strange season 225 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 3: shaping up where you know, the Rams look like the 226 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 3: best team in the league coming into this one. Suddenly 227 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 3: now they're feeling a little bit more like the Chiefs, 228 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 3: maybe more like the Bucks, where they can score plenty, 229 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 3: but the defense can't necessarily hold their own and it's 230 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 3: a shootout every time. So are you worried about the 231 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 3: Rams and their defense on this one? 232 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: I mean I have to be. It's just anytime your 233 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: secondary is struggling the way they struggle. I mean on 234 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: third and long, it wasn't just third and five or 235 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: third and ten, it was really third and long and 236 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: they just couldn't get off the field. It was problematic, 237 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 1: to say the least. So I just think I need 238 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: a little bit more from the defense if this team 239 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: is going to be who we say they are. 240 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that that's fair. So let's talk about Arizona. 241 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 3: So the Cardinals are undefeated. We've still got only the 242 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 3: Cardinals and the Raiders are the last two unbeatens, which, 243 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 3: let's just be honest, neither of us had that for 244 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 3: either one of these teams. In our preseason pods, we 245 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 3: talked about Cliff Kingsbury as the first coach you get fired, 246 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 3: and instead the man is four to oh and the 247 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 3: Cardinals look like they could be the last unbeaten. So 248 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: here's my question. Arizona is still not really getting much 249 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 3: respect as far as playoff odds right now at BETMGM. 250 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 3: They are plus sixteen hundred to win the Super Bowl, 251 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 3: which is only seventh highest. They're plus eight hundred to 252 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,839 Speaker 3: win the NFC, which is tied for sixth in the 253 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 3: NFC as clearly the best team and the undefeated right now. 254 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 3: So how far do we have to swing on these Cardinals? 255 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 3: Is their odds like, should we be betting on those 256 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 3: numbers or is this just a team that's peaking early 257 00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 3: and we're still not there yet? 258 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: Think you have to swing a little bit further just 259 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: because this NFC West, who we really thought was one 260 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 1: of the best divisions in football, it doesn't look as 261 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: good as we thought it would be coming into the season. 262 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: And we're gonna talk more about Seattle and San Francisco 263 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: coming up next. But when I look at this division, 264 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: they appear to be the best team in the division. 265 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: They appear to have the best offense, probably one of 266 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: the better defenses in the division as constructed. So and 267 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: my thing is I always come into this, I say 268 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: this all the time that if you win your division, 269 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: you're in the driver's seat. And those are the teams 270 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: that I like to look for as far as having 271 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: a chance to win the Super Bowl. So they've already 272 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: beaten the Rams at home. Some value on the Arizona 273 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: Cardinals lock, but I really think what the real value 274 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: is Bett and Kyler Murder went MVP because he's playing 275 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: out of his mind. 276 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: That's all. 277 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 3: Was just gonna say. I think that would be my 278 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 3: play if I want to play the Cardinals. I'm still 279 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 3: not there yet, but if I did want to play 280 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 3: the MVP for Tyler, all right, let's talk about the 281 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 3: other NFCUS battle Seattle in San Francisco, And yeah, I 282 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 3: think these are the two teams that were starting to 283 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 3: feel like are lighting the division down a little bit. 284 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 3: There are two that are not living up to what 285 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 3: the down cust was supposed to be. This game wasn't 286 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 3: actually that close. Seattle ended up winning twenty eight to 287 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 3: twenty one. We got the under the forty nine Ers 288 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 3: made it look closer at the end, just like every 289 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 3: Seattle game ever, but Seahawks kind of won with eas 290 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 3: What did you take away from this game? 291 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,720 Speaker 1: You know, when this game first started, Seattle actually started 292 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: the game with five straight three and out. I've never 293 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 1: seen anything like it. And you know, one of my 294 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: things that I saw coming into this game was that 295 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: Seattle's offensive line is completely banged up and they're really 296 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: really really struggling to block, and if you can't blot offensively, 297 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: there's not much that you can do. And eventually you 298 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: saw Russell Wilson really take advantage of the problems in 299 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: the forty nine er secondary. But I'm really out on 300 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: both of these teams. Like, what is your thoughts on 301 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks and forty nine Ers as far as 302 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: their playoff chances and everything like that. 303 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was on Seattle on this game. I think 304 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 3: a lot of people were on Seattle. Even though the 305 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 3: Seahawks were underdogs. This was a very public underdog this week, 306 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 3: which scared me a little bit because it was my favorite. 307 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 2: Play of the week. 308 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: But then you know, and they got down early, but 309 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 3: then scored a touchdown on four of their next five drives, 310 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 3: and so my initial instinct was, yeah, I was right. Seattle. 311 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 3: They just took over this game. They had it all 312 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 3: the way. They just got started a little bit slow. 313 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 3: The numbers don't say that. The numbers have forty nine 314 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 3: ers out gained them four hundred and fifty seven yards 315 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 3: to two hundred and thirty four yards. They ran eighteen 316 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 3: more plays. They just had a bunch of mistakes. They 317 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 3: turned it over twice, none for Seattle. They were two 318 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 3: of fourteen on a third down, they fumbled a kickoff 319 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 3: and then had another botch kickoff return and missed the 320 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 3: field goal. And then, of course what we haven't said yet, 321 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 3: Jimmy Garoppolo went out at halftime, had a calf injury, 322 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 3: did not play again, and Trey Lance came in and 323 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 3: at first for about a quarter and a half, Trey 324 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 3: my guy was not doing much. He had a big 325 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 3: touchdown at Deebo Samuel when Seattle just completely fell asleep 326 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 3: and left like half the field wide open. That me 327 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 3: or you would have thrown that touchdown. So we can't 328 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 3: give him too much credit for that one. And then 329 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 3: I think like halfway through the fourth quarter he had 330 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 3: still had one completion for the entire half. Then late 331 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 3: he got it going a little bit. He converted a 332 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 3: few fourth downs, he made a few plays with his legs, 333 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 3: ran for forty one yards, end up with two touchdowns, 334 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 3: passing one hundred and fifty seven yards. So this what 335 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 3: we saw from Trey Lance. It wasn't great. He's definitely struggled, 336 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 3: he wasn't ready, but he could make a few plays 337 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 3: for this team. So so San Francisco again, just the 338 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 3: injuries piling up. You're missing your stud I mean, Tren 339 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 3: Williams might be the best offensive line in the league. 340 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 3: He's certainly in the conversation, so he might be out 341 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 3: now you might be missing your quarterback. And we don't 342 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 3: know if Trey Lance necessarily ready. Up next for the 343 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 3: forty nine Ers the Cardinals, the teams that are undefeated 344 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 3: and just destroyed the Rams. So both of these teams, 345 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 3: you know, the Seahawks play the Rams now, and the 346 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 3: Niners play the Cardinals. And as much as the Rams 347 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 3: struggled today, it feels like the Rams and Cardinals are 348 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 3: much better than these two teams and our lineup to 349 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 3: both get a wins, and that could really put Seattle 350 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 3: in San Franz and Traveall. 351 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 1: Push back on it. The forty nine ers, they're kind 352 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: of equip to give the Cardinals problems. When you look 353 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: at what the Cardinals did wrong today, they really struggled 354 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 1: to stop the run. The Rams had a sixty rushing 355 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: success rate, They got first downs on thirty five percent 356 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: of their runs. They get him sixty eight yards rushing 357 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: in the first quarter. This Rams deep, This Rams offense 358 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: is struggled to run the ball all year. But Henderson 359 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: had fourteen carrigs eighty nine yards. And I think if 360 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: the Rams aren't playing from behind, the Rams are probably 361 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: running it down their throat. And I think, obviously you 362 00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: got Trey Lance out there, you got the zone run scheme. 363 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: I think the forty nine ers are kind of laugh 364 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: next week. Now, obviously you're going to see a lot 365 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: of money coming on through Arizona Cardinals next week. But 366 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,959 Speaker 1: there's a reason this line is only four and a half. 367 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: And I think Trey Lance, it's pretty clear that he 368 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 1: adds another level of variance that Jimmy g doesn't have. 369 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: And you saw it today like he's a playmaker. And 370 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: you give Kyle Shanahan a week to game plan and 371 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: put some plays in, and I think he's going to 372 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: perform well. And I think the forty nine ers might 373 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: be live next week. 374 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that's fair too. 375 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 3: My takeaway from the Cardinals after the way that they 376 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 3: dominated the Rams and dominated the scoreboard was all right, 377 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 3: I'm not totally in yet, but I think I just 378 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 3: bought a few more weeks to fade the Cardinals, and 379 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 3: I think that against the forty nine ers might be 380 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,440 Speaker 3: a first spot to be able to do that. 381 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 2: What about the division? 382 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 3: So right now at bet MGM, the Cardinals and the 383 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 3: Rams are tied at plus one seventy atop the division odds, 384 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,679 Speaker 3: Seattle is plus four hundred. San Francisco is plus six 385 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 3: hund What do you think about that? Are you betting 386 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 3: one of those right now? 387 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: I'm really not like, I think you got to let 388 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: this thing play out for a little bit more. I 389 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 1: think it's obviously a two team race right now. I 390 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: love Russell Wilson, but I just I'm not a believer 391 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: in the Seattle team. Obviously, this secondary is struggle. And 392 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: then when you see the offensive line problems. I just 393 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: don't think you can touch Seattle. And I love the 394 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: Rams and I love the Cardinals, but I just kind 395 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: of need to see a little bit more. 396 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm ready to bet the Rams here. 397 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 3: I feel pretty good about this plus one seventy getting 398 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 3: even odds with the Cardinals. Look just on Friday, I 399 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 3: just put, you know, just recommended betting against the Cardinals 400 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 3: even to make the playoffs. Obviously, they're in a much 401 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 3: better position to do that after this win, probably end 402 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 3: up being their best win of the season. But Arizona 403 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 3: still has a really difficult schedule coming up. They still 404 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 3: have to play five more games in this division. They've 405 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 3: got other tough NFC games coming. They had really their 406 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 3: easier games in non conference games earlier in the year 407 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,880 Speaker 3: that they got out of the way with already, and 408 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 3: Arizona has won my respect, but they have not totally 409 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 3: won me over yet. I'm not really too worried about 410 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 3: the Rams as a top team in the regular season. 411 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 3: That defense that could be a problem when the games 412 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 3: really count in the playoffs. But I still feel like 413 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 3: the Rams are a notch above these other teams. They're 414 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 3: playing Thursday night in Seattle. And as much as Seattle's 415 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 3: old line has had trouble and their defense can't get 416 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 3: off the field, that's a great spot for the Rams 417 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 3: to get right get back into control, and the Cardinals 418 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 3: do stumble the next few weeks, the Rams will be 419 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 3: right back leading the division again. So I like them 420 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 3: at plus one seventy. I think there's some real value there. 421 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 3: Definitely is the division that continues to be pretty interesting. 422 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 3: But let's move on to a few of our other 423 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 3: games here. Hit them a little faster before we get 424 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 3: to our wrap up. Our next one up is this 425 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 3: week's stink of the week. 426 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: Smelly, Smelly, smelly. 427 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: It's the smell. It's quite bungent. 428 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 2: Plug your nose, it stinks. 429 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 4: This is your stak of the week. 430 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 3: This one's stung for me. I have been in on 431 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 3: the Falcons. I was believer for the season. They sucked, 432 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 3: they lost the first two games. I wrote about them 433 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 3: as a possibility to come back and make the playoffs. Still, 434 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 3: today was their chance to be able to be in 435 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 3: position for that. They're playing Washington. The Falcons are up 436 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 3: eight with under four minutes left, and Atlanta is an underdog, 437 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 3: So I just need Atlanta to cover the plus one 438 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 3: and a half. They're up eight. This is like feeling 439 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 3: really good about this. Taylor Hennike drops back and basically 440 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 3: throws a Hail Mary up for grabs, like you know 441 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 3: when you're a kid and you're like five hundred and 442 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 3: you just chuck it up and see who can come 443 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 3: down with it. 444 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: He just throws it up. 445 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 3: I mean, they're down eight, somehow pull it in for 446 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 3: the touchdown. They line up for two to go for 447 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 3: the tie and miss it, but there's a flag, so 448 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 3: they get another chance, and then they missed that one too, 449 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 3: so the Falcons are still up to I'm still feeling 450 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 3: good about my plus one and a half. Worst case scenario, 451 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 3: Washington's gonna maybe get the ball, move down the field, 452 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 3: get the field goal. I'll still get the one and 453 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 3: a half cover. So sure enough, Atlanta goes three and out, 454 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 3: give the ball back to Heineke, who's not even supposed 455 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 3: to be in the NFL, and he somehow drives Washington 456 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 3: right down the field into field goal range. It's third 457 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 3: and seven thirty seconds left. The only job here is 458 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 3: just hand the ball off, run the clock, kick the. 459 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 2: Field goal, and get out of here. 460 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 3: Instead, Heineke rolls left, throws across his body this loopy, 461 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 3: weirdo pass to Jad McKissick, who runs toward the end 462 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 3: zone and like Superman, leaps dives out. We got to 463 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 3: do the review. He barely crosses the plane for the touchdown. 464 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 3: Washington wins thirty four to thirty Atlanta backers plus one 465 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 3: and a half. 466 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I feel your pain. I played it too. 467 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 2: For me. That is our stink of the week. 468 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: But how about the real stink in the week was 469 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: that roughened the passer penalty on Chase where Matt Ryan 470 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 1: is literally throwing the ball off one knee. He's down 471 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: and they called rough. I've never seen anything like that before. 472 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 2: Ye, that was rough. 473 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 3: That was definitely a rough I will say too, it 474 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 3: might be time to give up on this Washington defense. 475 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 3: You know, we had them as a top five d 476 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 3: coming into the year. Atlanta was the worst offense in 477 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 3: the league by dboa entering this game, and Washington couldn't 478 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 3: get off the field like this is a struggle. That 479 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 3: pass rush that's supposed to be awesome is not really 480 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 3: getting home, you know. Regardless of that that terrible penalty 481 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 3: you're talking about but Washington gave up three touchdowns to 482 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 3: Corderio Patterson. Corderio Patterson three touchdowns out of the backfield. 483 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know Washington's defense. We knew that 484 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 3: they'd probably regress a little bit, but regrets is supposed 485 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 3: to be toward the kne and not toward the bottom 486 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 3: of the league. 487 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 2: This has been embarrassing so far. 488 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,959 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, without a doubt. I mean, when you look 489 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: at this team, it's really a struggle on their secondary. 490 00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: Their twenty ninth in EPA per play this season, and 491 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: when you look at it, they're also twenty first in 492 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: success free. So this is not a team that can 493 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: really stop anybody. 494 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 3: Speaking of teams that can't stop anybody, let's talk about 495 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 3: the Chiefs who finally stop somebody just enough to actually 496 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 3: cover a game. Yes, folks, Kansas City covered a football game. 497 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 3: They finally did it again, only their second cover in 498 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 3: eleven games. They finally finished a game not as a 499 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 3: one score affair. Chiefs forty two Eagles, thirty zero punts 500 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 3: in this game, and Patrick Mahomes had five touchdowns. Tyreek 501 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 3: Hill had three one hundred and eighty six yards. Huge 502 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 3: game for him. The big difference to me was efficiency. 503 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 3: The Eagles only went three of six in the red zone. 504 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 3: They moved the ball all game. Did not make me 505 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 3: feel great about this Chiefs defense. But the Chiefs they 506 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 3: just converted when they had to. Patrick Mahomes was nine 507 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 3: of ten on third down, five of five in the 508 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 3: red zone. So I don't know that I left this 509 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 3: game feeling like, all right, the Chiefs of right ship, 510 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 3: everything is fine. Now if you're giving up thirty points 511 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 3: and six red zone trips to Jalen Hurts and this offense, 512 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 3: I might be a little more afraid than ever, but hey, 513 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 3: we got to cover. 514 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: Basically, this offense is gonna be able to outscore anybody, 515 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: but the defense is it's a real problem. Hopefully to 516 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: return to Frank Clark and Willie Bay can change some things, 517 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 1: but right now, I just don't see how this team, 518 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: we can look at this team is a Super Bowl 519 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: contender with his defense. 520 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, they play The Chiefs play Sunday Night against Buffalo 521 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 3: next week, which will be a real test to see. Okay, 522 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 3: here are two teams that you know. The Bills are 523 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 3: murdering everyone, So let's see what the Chiefs do against 524 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 3: a team that they might actually have to play in 525 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 3: the playoffs. One other takeaway for me on this game 526 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 3: for the Eagles, Davante Smith, the rookie receiver, that dude's 527 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 3: the real deal. He had seven catches for one hundred 528 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 3: and twenty two yards. He had seventy one and a 529 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,919 Speaker 3: touchdown in the opener I was and pressed against Dallas 530 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 3: last week. I'm looking at Rookie of the Year odds 531 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 3: for DeVante Smith. 532 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 2: I'm still not sure if these quarters gonna get the 533 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 2: job done. 534 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 3: Usually this is a stats award, and DeVante's Smith has 535 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 3: really kind of been off the radar for the most part. 536 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 3: Jamar chases the receiver's talking about. So if I can 537 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 3: see Smith that like a twenty to one or something, 538 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 3: I might be looking at him just to you know, 539 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 3: get a little piece of that. The offensive rookie of 540 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 3: the array still seems pretty open to me. So that's 541 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 3: why I'm kind of hunting for some action here. 542 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: It's interesting that you mentioned the Chiefs in a Buffalo 543 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,719 Speaker 1: Bill's game next week. This number actually opened up at 544 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs minus four and a half. We're seeing this line 545 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: go down to three now. There's even some two and 546 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: a half's in the market. The total actually opened at 547 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 1: fifty seven and we're seeing that drop down to fifty six. 548 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: One of the reasons why is because Buffalo had probably 549 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: been one of the best teams at defending the Kansas 550 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: City Chiefs. They put that two deep high safety lookout 551 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: there and they forced the Chiefs to just throw the 552 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: ball underneath, and it's it's something that the Chiefs are 553 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: comfortable with. They're comfortable with running the ball with klae 554 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: l Hilaire going short, but it's not the ideal thing. 555 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: And I think that's why that total was starting to 556 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: come down. So you know, look out for that, and 557 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: you know, maybe the Buffalo Bills will probably have a 558 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: good chance of actually pulling off the win this time. 559 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 1: I know they played them tough out there in Buffalo 560 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: and then an AFC Championship game. They did have a 561 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: lead before the Chiefs put it together. But it should 562 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: be an interesting game then, should. 563 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 2: Be a good one. Give credit to the schedule makers. 564 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 3: These primetime games have been living up to billings so far, 565 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 3: especially these Sunday night games. We've got a lot of 566 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 3: good ones, a lot of clos. 567 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 2: And we got too. 568 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: We got two straight unders on these prime time games 569 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: after a nice little one. I think we pretty much 570 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,919 Speaker 1: the first eight games all went over. Now we got 571 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: two straight unders. Maybe we'll see another one with this 572 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: one next week, especially since the public is starting to 573 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: push this thing down well. 574 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 3: One game that did not go over or go under 575 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 3: today was Cowboys Panthers, another unbeaten NFL. Cowboys won thirty 576 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 3: six twenty eight. A big over there. Cowboys got the cover. 577 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 3: I think that Dallas still is four to zero against 578 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,119 Speaker 3: the spread. There the last team now that is undefeated 579 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 3: against the spread. Carolina was the other one, and then Denver, 580 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 3: which who lost. Cowboys kind of rip this thing open. 581 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 3: They had twenty points in the third quarter. Thirty six 582 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 3: twenty eight makes it field close. It never really felt 583 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,719 Speaker 3: that close to me. Carolina finally had to bring their 584 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 3: number one defense against a real attack, and Dallas offense 585 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 3: just shrededt them. I thought, so, you're Cowboys fan, are 586 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 3: you feeling starting to feel pretty good about this team 587 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 3: of yours? 588 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: I think there's still some issues defensively. I think it's 589 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 1: so funny that you put this game right next to 590 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: Chiefs Eagles, because when I look at the Chiefs and 591 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, I'm kind of handicapping them in the same 592 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: exact way. Obviously, the Cowboys have a little bit better defense, 593 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: but I think the Cowboys have really been fortunate when 594 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: it comes to these turnovers, and I think that's that's 595 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: something that we saw for the Miami Dolphins all last year, 596 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: where they had turnovers every game, and I feel like 597 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are getting it done. Brave digs is out 598 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: here and get interceptions every single game. But I think 599 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: the story this game is that the Panthers they had 600 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: significant injuries at cornerback j C. Horne, Miles Hartfield, Justin Burris, 601 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: and you playing a Cowboys offense scoring thirty points per 602 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: game first and offensive success rate first and drop back 603 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: success rate, rust and success rate. His Cowboys offense is 604 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: a force to be reckoned with. Obviously, we saw a 605 00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: throwback game from Ezekiel Elliott twenty carries one hundred and 606 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,239 Speaker 1: forty three yards. When the offense is quickly like this, 607 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: it's tough to beat. And then if you win a 608 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: turn over battle, you probably won't win seventy percent of 609 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: the time. And that's what the Cowboys did. 610 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, Dallas is looking good. 611 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 3: I mean the fact that you just compared them to 612 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 3: the Chiefs without batting an eye shows you how far 613 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 3: this team has come. You know, even the defense is 614 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,480 Speaker 3: definitely not as bad as the Chiefs. Few defenses in 615 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 3: history are as bad as the Chiefs defense right now. 616 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 3: But for the Cowboys to go from, they were kind 617 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 3: of somewhat of an afterthought coming into the season. They 618 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 3: certainly weren't a team with a whole lot of buzz. 619 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 3: They always felt a little undervalued, and it's strange that 620 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 3: each week they still continue to feel undervalued. It seems 621 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 3: like finally we may have to catch up to that now. 622 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 3: But this team has had a really impressive first month. 623 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,959 Speaker 3: It was not an easy schedule to open the season. 624 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 3: You know, they're on the road in Tampa. They're on 625 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 3: the road against the Chargers. This is not an easy 626 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 3: one against Carolina. It looked better earlier in the season 627 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 3: until Carolina was three and zero and the offense is 628 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 3: just continue to move the ball. Well, they're number one 629 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 3: offense on first down and that was the case today. 630 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 3: Just kept getting into good positions. I like that they 631 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 3: were really attacking with their tight ends all game like. 632 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 3: It feels like Kellen Moore is is having very specific 633 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 3: scripts calling the plays and fitting against what the defense 634 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 3: has available. So I still think there's some value on Dallas. 635 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 3: This team really is coming to play. If you look 636 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 3: at the NFC, we talked about the Cardinals and the Rams, 637 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 3: there are the Bucks and the Packers. I just feel 638 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 3: like the Cowboys are right in that mix. And I 639 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 3: don't know why the Cowboys are any worse than those 640 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 3: teams right now? 641 00:29:58,440 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 2: Do you think they belong in that group? 642 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 1: In today's NFL, where offense matters, you have to be 643 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the league. So I 644 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 1: think he kind of got to give the Cowboys some respect. 645 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 1: I can't stress how lucky they've been with these turnovers though, 646 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: and I think that might be the thing that comes 647 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: back to bite them into playoffs. They're playing better teams 648 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 1: and not turn the ball over as much. 649 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 2: But I mean, the. 650 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: Sky's the limit for this team when you have an 651 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: offense is good. One thing I will say is that 652 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: similar to Kyler Murray and I think we got into 653 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: this on Friday on strong strong stock Fridays, is that 654 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: I think Dak is an MVP candidate. You definitely want 655 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: to have some DK futures in your portfolio. As far 656 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: as the MVP, So. 657 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 2: I'll push back on that a little bit. 658 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 3: I saw that Dak Prescott over the last three games 659 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 3: is only attempting twenty five passes a game. I actually 660 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 3: feel like Dallas is maybe a little too good for 661 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 3: Dak Prescott to be MVP. They're running the ball so 662 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 3: well right now, Like we really like Dak coming into 663 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 3: the year, and I bet on Ceedee Lamb and Amari 664 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 3: Cooper of receiving yards, receiving touchdowns. But the truth is 665 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 3: that the offense has been so good that Dak doesn't 666 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 3: have to be that good. You know, Kyler is doing everything, 667 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes does everything, Tom Brady throws all the touchdowns. 668 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 3: Dak is sharing because Zeke has been great and Pollard 669 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 3: has been great, and they're they're winning so easily right 670 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 3: now and the defense improving that I feel like his 671 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 3: volume may not be there and he might be able 672 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 3: to kind of be more we saw early in Dak's career, 673 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 3: kind of that game manager, you know, take care of things, 674 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 3: make the plays when you need to. So you know, 675 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 3: on the other hand, it's Dak Prescott, it's the Cowboys. 676 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 3: If Dallas goes thirteen and four, fourteen and three and 677 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 3: he's the quarterback of the Cowboys. He's going to be 678 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 3: in the mix for sure, but I don't know if 679 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 3: he's going to have the statistical case to stand up 680 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 3: with some of these other top guys. 681 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: What do you think Derek Carr has almost almost three 682 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: hundred and more yards than him, but Prescott is still 683 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: top ten and Dboway, he's second in success rate. He's 684 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: at the top chain in terms of all these metrics, 685 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: and they're gonna be on Prime Time. We're gonna see 686 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: him when they day, and we're gonna see them a 687 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: couple a few more times this year to have a 688 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: chance to win in big spots, and I think he's 689 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: one of two wins in big spots away from actually 690 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: having a shot. So I think there's some value. 691 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, you know, if nothing else, I'm gonna 692 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 3: have to put a little bit on Dak to win MVP, 693 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 3: just as a hedge for my near lock Comeback Player 694 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 3: of the Year at this point, because I feel like 695 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 3: the only way he doesn't win Comeback Player of the 696 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 3: Year is if you won MVP and then they're like, 697 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 3: all right, well let's give comeback to somebody else then instead. 698 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:38,720 Speaker 3: So i'might have to hedge a little bit, but I 699 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:40,479 Speaker 3: think you have a good point. 700 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 2: He's definitely set up well. Dallas is set up well. 701 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 3: So if things swing back the other way and it 702 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 3: gets one of those big, big passing games, a couple 703 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 3: of big late drives, there could definitely be some value there. 704 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: I still think a lot of the voter still weigh 705 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: wins so much when it comes to MVP as well. Sure, 706 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: obviously since it's the Quarterbacks Award, so I mean, maybe 707 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: he's not gonna win something like Offensive Player of the Year, 708 00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: but I think MVP is a little bit different. 709 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're right. 710 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 3: All right, let's zoom through the rest of Sunday action 711 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 3: to wrap up Week four. America's Game of the Week 712 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 3: was a dud, with the Packers beating the Steelers twenty 713 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 3: seven to seventeen, thanks in part to a ten point 714 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 3: swing on the last play of the first half when 715 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 3: a phantom off side flag took away a Minka Fitzpatrick 716 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 3: field goal block touchdown return. Tough under for betters on 717 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 3: this one came up a half point short. We had 718 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 3: only one touchdown and five turnovers in last twenty minutes, 719 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 3: so that was a rough one there. The Vikings drove 720 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 3: seventy five yards for an opening touchdown on the Browns 721 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 3: and then never scored again. Seven of the next nine 722 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 3: Minnesota drives were three and out or worse. Cleveland one 723 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 3: our easiest under of the day fourteen to seven. Justin 724 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 3: Fields officially got his first win as the Bears beat 725 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 3: the Lions twenty four to fourteen. Another tough under for Lions. 726 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 3: It's a tough under and a tough Lions beat, with 727 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,920 Speaker 3: Detroit turned it over four times inside the ten yard 728 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 3: land on that one, including in a way that only 729 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 3: the Lions can bouncing a snap off of Jared goff 730 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 3: In shotgun back over the line into the arms of 731 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 3: a Bears defender. The Ravens beat the Broncos twenty three 732 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,800 Speaker 3: to seven in a snoozefest that featured seventeen punts. Teddy 733 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 3: Bridgewater left with concussion symptoms and Drew Locke reminded everyone 734 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,280 Speaker 3: why Denver chose Teddy as the starter in the first place. 735 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 3: Broncos are not undefeated anymore, but their unders still are 736 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,280 Speaker 3: at four and oh. The Colts got on the board 737 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 3: with their first win the season, twenty seven to seventeen 738 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,839 Speaker 3: over the Dolphins. Miami scored a pair of fourth down 739 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 3: touchdowns late to hit the over, but Indianapolis controlled all 740 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,800 Speaker 3: the way. Nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills, 741 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 3: who got their second shutout in three weeks forty to 742 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,879 Speaker 3: nothing beat down over the Texans. Rookie Davis Mills had 743 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 3: eighty seven yards and four interceptions for Houston. They had 744 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 3: a six first downs all game and but certainly not 745 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 3: least start spreading the news. 746 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 2: You want to be a part of it. 747 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 3: New York, New York, the city that Never sleeps, is 748 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 3: on the board with its first two wins of the season, 749 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 3: the Giants and the Jets, one in overtime on the 750 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 3: same day. For the first time ever, Daniel Jones had 751 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,439 Speaker 3: over four hundred yards and improved to eleven and four 752 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 3: on the road against the spread. The g Men came 753 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 3: back from twenty one to ten late in the game 754 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 3: to beat the Saints on that one, and those little 755 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,320 Speaker 3: town Blues also melted away for the Jets in a 756 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 3: twenty seven to twenty four win, another rough beat for underbetters. 757 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 3: It was ten to nine coming to the fourth quarter. 758 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 3: Then we had twenty nine points and hit the over. 759 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 3: There Zach Wilson got his first win in overtime when 760 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 3: the Titans missed the tying fuel goal.

Let's 795 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 4: get back to the show. 796 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 2: All right. 797 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 3: Well, Monday night, we've got a division battle in the 798 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 3: AFC West Chargers and Raiders headed to LA. This line 799 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,560 Speaker 3: is at minus three right now it's been moving around 800 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 3: a little bit minus three and a half back to 801 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 3: three again, the total is fifty one and a half. 802 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 3: The Raiders are on defeated, but they're underdogs on the 803 00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 3: road in this one. 804 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 2: What are you thinking? 805 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 1: I'm actually thinking about though over this line opened up 806 00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,400 Speaker 1: at fifty two and a half and we're seeing some 807 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: under money that's pushing this down to fifty one and 808 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 1: a half. But my moto actually makes this game fifty three. 809 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: Look both of these teams they like to pass the ball. 810 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: The Chargers are passing the ball sixty five percent at 811 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,279 Speaker 1: the time, while the Raiders are passing the sixty four 812 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,320 Speaker 1: percent of the time. We'd all know Justin Herbert is 813 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 1: the stuff. Derek Carr is averaging four hundred and one 814 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: yards a game, and I just don't trust this. This 815 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: Raider secondary to really stop. Justin Herbert and Mike Williams 816 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: and Keenan Allen like to me, the Raiders really haven't 817 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: been tested yet. Like I mean, we saw them go 818 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 1: up against Miami and Jacobe Brissette was able to lead 819 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,759 Speaker 1: this team or comeback to push this game into overtime. 820 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson without many receiving threats was able to just 821 00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:56,839 Speaker 1: drive up and down and feel at will. So I'm 822 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,960 Speaker 1: expecting the Chargers to be able to go out there 823 00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: and score. And obviously the Raiders. Derek cars is having 824 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:07,279 Speaker 1: an MVP like season and this Raiders offense has been 825 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,919 Speaker 1: able to score. And obviously I think this Chargers pass 826 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: rush will probably be one of the best pass rushes 827 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,759 Speaker 1: that they face as far. But I still think you're 828 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,359 Speaker 1: looking at a high scoring game. So Raiders are seven 829 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 1: to one to over the last eight games. I'm a 830 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 1: ride with it. 831 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, the pass rush on both sides, I think it 832 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,560 Speaker 3: would be really interesting in this one. I was not 833 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 3: expecting the Raiders pass rush to be so good, but 834 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 3: they've been dominant so far. And this is a real 835 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 3: test for the Chargers offensive line. That was a unit 836 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,920 Speaker 3: that I was really excited about coming to the season. 837 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,080 Speaker 3: What improvements that they made. Rashaun Slater, the rookie at 838 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,080 Speaker 3: left tackle, has been a really good so far, but 839 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,879 Speaker 3: this is a big test for him. Right tackle has 840 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 3: been a big problem for the Chargers. Blaga is out 841 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 3: as all is with an injury, and that could be 842 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,239 Speaker 3: a big test. And what's interesting in this game is 843 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 3: both quarterbacks are really good against the blitz, but neither 844 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,360 Speaker 3: defense blitz is a whole lot, So it's going to 845 00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 3: be interesting sort of chess match to see, Okay, do 846 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 3: we bring extra guys? If we do, either of these 847 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 3: quarterbacks can take the defense. 848 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 2: Apart a little bit. 849 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,520 Speaker 3: I like the Chargers defense how matches up here too, 850 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 3: similar to last week against the Chiefs. Rand Staley loves 851 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 3: that too deep defense. You drop the safeties, you take 852 00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 3: away the deep ball, and you force the other team 853 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 3: to check it down, throw. 854 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 2: It underneath, and run the ball a lot. 855 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 3: In past years, that's exactly what you would expected Derek 856 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 3: Carr to do Captain checkdown over here, just checking it 857 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 3: off every time. But this year the Raiders have been 858 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 3: thrown it deep and that's where the Chargers defense has 859 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 3: been better against it. The way to beat the Charges 860 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 3: right now is run the ball, and the Raiders can't 861 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 3: run at all. 862 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 2: This year. 863 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 3: They rank second to last in a rushing DVOA. The 864 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 3: offensive line has been much worse this year, and you know, 865 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,520 Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs is a question as well. So with the 866 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 3: Raiders struggling to run the ball, I think that this 867 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 3: is going to be a tough test on both sides. 868 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,319 Speaker 3: I like the way that the matchups trend here. The 869 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,240 Speaker 3: Raiders second hasn't really been tested yet. Like you said, 870 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,279 Speaker 3: they haven't really faced a quarterback like Justin Herbert who 871 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 3: can throw it the way he does, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams. 872 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,439 Speaker 3: Williams has been huge this season and kind of breaking out, 873 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,520 Speaker 3: finally getting a stride there. So it definitely I had 874 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,360 Speaker 3: the Chargers minus three as a hot read last week. 875 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 3: I still feel like the matchups really favor the Charges 876 00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,720 Speaker 3: in this one, but it's a division game, the Raiders 877 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,839 Speaker 3: are undefeated, and it feels like it could be a 878 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,840 Speaker 3: tough one still. So do you feel like you have 879 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 3: a lean to either side on this one? 880 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't really have anything on side. 881 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: I want to fade that line move because I think 882 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 1: we're going to get a high scoring game. 883 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, a couple of things that are giving me a 884 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,879 Speaker 3: little bit of pause just on the field. I love 885 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 3: the Chargers here, but I had be careful one, two 886 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 3: and three in my notes, be careful. Number one short 887 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 3: road dogs. Four points are less on Monday night in 888 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,800 Speaker 3: division games. So that's the Raiders here are twenty eleven 889 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 3: and a one, So sixty five percent cover sixty out 890 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 3: of thirty two of one outright, so that favors the Raiders. 891 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 2: Be careful. 892 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 3: Number two short underdogs this season are fourteen and eight 893 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 3: against the spread, sixty four percent cover all fourteen of 894 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 3: those teams I cover to won the game. Another one 895 00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:18,200 Speaker 3: for the Raiders, be careful. Number three unbeaten underdogs are 896 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 3: thirty one and twenty two. That's a fifty eight percent 897 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 3: cover rate. That includes the Cardinals today getting that win. 898 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 3: Unbeaten underdog, So definitely in action Labs where all those 899 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:31,920 Speaker 3: are from, the trends favor the Raiders here, I'm not 900 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,839 Speaker 3: willing to blindly follow the trends. I still like the 901 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 3: matchup for the Chargers. I think the numbers under rate 902 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:39,520 Speaker 3: the Chargers a little bit right now. They've had a 903 00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 3: lot of penalty yards. They've had multiple touchdowns taken away 904 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:44,520 Speaker 3: in the past two weeks, and we have to see 905 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 3: those in the numbers. So I do like the Chargers here, 906 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:50,000 Speaker 3: but I played the minus three early in the week. 907 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 3: If I had to take them, that's where I'd lean. 908 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,520 Speaker 3: But all those trends going the other direction makes me 909 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 3: not really want to add to my position here. 910 00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,400 Speaker 1: I'll write a stat earlier is that the Chargers actually 911 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,640 Speaker 1: allowed the eighth highest number of targets tight ends in 912 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: their thirty first success rate. Who does Derek Carl like 913 00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: to throw the ball to Darren Wyler? So if you 914 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 1: look at for some props, maybe you want to take 915 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: Darren Waller over. Obviously the charge they struggle to stop 916 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,360 Speaker 1: the run. If Josh Jacobs plays or Peyton Barr is 917 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 1: out there, maybe want to take some props on them. 918 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: But I just think we're looking at over it just 919 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: this feels like one of those years to where obviously 920 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:28,480 Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier we got two prom time unders in 921 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,360 Speaker 1: a row. Prom time overs have been killing it. Public 922 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,279 Speaker 1: is pushing this number down. I kind of want to 923 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 1: get in on the over before it's the key numbers. 924 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 2: All right. I like it. It should be a good 925 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,160 Speaker 2: Monday night football game. 926 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,839 Speaker 3: We don't get a ton of division battles on Monday night, 927 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 3: you know, it seems like when we get a lot 928 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 3: of But it should be a fun one. I'm excited 929 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 3: to watch. We might be down to only one unbeaten 930 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,879 Speaker 3: team after this one. If the Raiders fall, we will 931 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 3: be down to Cliff Kingsbury and the Arizona Cardinals as 932 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 3: our final undefeated team in twenty twenty one. So let's 933 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 3: wrap up here with our Week five hot read. We're 934 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,680 Speaker 3: gonna look ahead to next Sunday. We've been doing well 935 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,920 Speaker 3: with our hot reds, getting the best of some of 936 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,600 Speaker 3: these lines. I know that you are playing a couple 937 00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:11,799 Speaker 3: early totals for next week, So what's one of the 938 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 3: totals you like? 939 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: Okay, the first total I like is I like the 940 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles Carolina Panthers under forty six and a half. 941 00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:27,240 Speaker 1: My model makes this game forty three. The Panthers before 942 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: they played the Dallas Cowboys, they were first to EPA 943 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: per play. They were first to success rate played the 944 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys team which scored thirty one point five points per game, 945 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,640 Speaker 1: first off of success rate, fourth and EPA per play. 946 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,760 Speaker 1: But now they're dropping back down to playing the Eagles 947 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 1: team which is just sixteenth EPA per play. We saw 948 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: the Eagles put up a dominant performance on offense, score 949 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,839 Speaker 1: thirty points against the Kansas City Chiefs, a defense which 950 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 1: is probably the worst in the league. But I'm not 951 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: expecting this team to reproduce the offensive output this week. 952 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,120 Speaker 1: You're dealing with injuries, on the offensive line, and they 953 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 1: have to face a Panthers defensive line, which is fifty 954 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,279 Speaker 1: eight percent of the time they're creating wins with their 955 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:12,360 Speaker 1: pass rush. When I look at the Panthers offensively, I 956 00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: don't see how they're gonna put up that same offensive 957 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 1: outputs they put on the Cowboys either are a better defense. 958 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,879 Speaker 1: Like I said before, my model makes this game forty three. 959 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: So at forty six and a half, that's enough descriptancy 960 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: for me to go under. 961 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 2: I like that one. 962 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 3: I don't do a lot of totals, but that makes sense. 963 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 3: That definitely seems like a very defensive, close sort of game. 964 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:33,839 Speaker 3: So I feel like you're gonna get some closing line 965 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 3: value on that one as it continues to move. My 966 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,319 Speaker 3: first one, I'm sure is gonna end up being a 967 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 3: public play, but I'm gonna grab it before the line 968 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,280 Speaker 3: moves in the direction. Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home against 969 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins. I'll take the favorites here. They're at 970 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 3: nine and a half point favorites at some books. I 971 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,200 Speaker 3: think this is just gonna rise, rise, rise, By the 972 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:54,960 Speaker 3: time that we get to the game, we're gonna get 973 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,200 Speaker 3: to thirteen thirteen and a half fourteen points. Everyone's gonna 974 00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,359 Speaker 3: betting on the Bucks, but I want to bet them 975 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,080 Speaker 3: before that line moves up, especially at nine and a half. 976 00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 3: You get to stay away from that ten points there. 977 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,839 Speaker 3: The Dolphins are terrible right now. They couldn't even show 978 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 3: up against Ada Colts team today. Dolphins had three points 979 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 3: until meaningless drives at the end of the game. They 980 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 3: scored twice on fourth down, but they finished the game 981 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,359 Speaker 3: with two hundred and three yards. The entire game, they 982 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 3: had under twenty three minutes of possession. They're just not 983 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:28,120 Speaker 3: doing anything right now. The defense has not been good enough. 984 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,240 Speaker 3: The offense is barely moving the ball. I don't feel 985 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 3: like the Dolphins are gonna be able to move the 986 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,320 Speaker 3: ball even against Tampa Bay with that secondary and shambles. 987 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 3: We talked about that, but this is a perfect spot 988 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,400 Speaker 3: for Tampa Bay to get right because you don't need 989 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,839 Speaker 3: a whole lot of secondary against Jacoby Brissett and an 990 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,399 Speaker 3: offense that can't really pass on you anyway. So Tom 991 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 3: Brady has not been throwing touchdowns. It's time for Tom 992 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 3: to get his numbers moving again. The Bucks, I think, finally, 993 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,720 Speaker 3: are relieved to be done with these last couple crazy 994 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,520 Speaker 3: weeks and Tom will be ready to move on past 995 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,400 Speaker 3: the New England game and put up a big number 996 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,040 Speaker 3: on the Dolphins here. So I'm expecting Tampa to score 997 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,040 Speaker 3: a lot of points. I definitely want to grab this 998 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 3: one before the line rises. 999 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,480 Speaker 1: So I agree with you, But you do want to 1000 00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: get that at nine and a half if you take it. Obviously, 1001 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,960 Speaker 1: ten is a key number for those of you're not 1002 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 1: familiar with key numbers. If you were to look at 1003 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 1: NFL frequency of point differential margins, ten actually comes out 1004 00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: four point eighty six percent of the time, almost five percent, 1005 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,400 Speaker 1: So you want to get there before it gets to 1006 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,800 Speaker 1: ten ten and a half. Getting it at nine you 1007 00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 1: find yourself in a good position. 1008 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,920 Speaker 3: And thirteen and fourteen are other key numbers, right, So 1009 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,759 Speaker 3: if this line continues drives to that way, you would 1010 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 3: want to get it before that as well. So grabbing 1011 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 3: you at nine and a half, you're avoiding a bunch 1012 00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 3: of those key numbers. 1013 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, without a doubt. My second pick of the 1014 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,320 Speaker 1: day is I'm actually gonna go. We spoke earlier about 1015 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:59,440 Speaker 1: how the Washington football teams defense is truly overrated. They 1016 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 1: played the same this week. Look this Washington football team 1017 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: secondary is really really rough. We know Jamis Winston really 1018 00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,759 Speaker 1: hasn't he hasn't had to throw his deep ball as 1019 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,200 Speaker 1: much as he has in Tampa Bay. But I'm gonna 1020 00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,960 Speaker 1: go over forty three and a half. I think this 1021 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,759 Speaker 1: is a really sneaky total to play. We're starting to 1022 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,480 Speaker 1: see Washington football team totals going over. We have to 1023 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,320 Speaker 1: get rid of our preconceived notions about what this defense 1024 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,600 Speaker 1: is because they're not slowing anybody down. And I think 1025 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: Sean Payton and this Saints offense is they're gonna wake 1026 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,360 Speaker 1: up this week. And I also think the Washington football 1027 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,799 Speaker 1: team should be able to put up enough. Forty three 1028 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,680 Speaker 1: is like a really low total in today's NFL. I 1029 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 1: think the average totals around forty seven or something like that. 1030 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:46,279 Speaker 1: So I like this go over. 1031 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 2: I like that one as well. 1032 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,319 Speaker 3: So my other one for this week is not a 1033 00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 3: sexy game, but I'd rather just make a little bit 1034 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,920 Speaker 3: of money. So we're going to Jacksonville where the Jaguars 1035 00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,120 Speaker 3: will host the Tennessee Titans, and I like the favorite. 1036 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,799 Speaker 3: The Titans are three and a half point favorites. It's 1037 00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,920 Speaker 3: another one where I expect that line to rise as 1038 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,319 Speaker 3: the week goes on. We already missed the three point 1039 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,840 Speaker 3: key number. I don't think it's coming back. But earlier today, 1040 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 3: this morning, Sunday morning, that is, the Titans were minus 1041 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 3: seven and then they went out and laid an egg 1042 00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:18,279 Speaker 3: and lost the Jets, and. 1043 00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:19,640 Speaker 2: We got the line cut in half. 1044 00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:21,759 Speaker 3: At minus seven, I wouldn't have loved it, but at 1045 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,200 Speaker 3: three and a half, there's definitely value here. I'm not 1046 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 3: so worried about the Titans. After that Jets game. The 1047 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,720 Speaker 3: Titans had a monster day. They had ninety three plays 1048 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,720 Speaker 3: to only sixty for the Jets. Titans picked up thirty 1049 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,320 Speaker 3: first downs, and remember no Julio Jones, no AJ Brown, 1050 00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 3: and they still dominate. Anyways. The problem was they just 1051 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,680 Speaker 3: made a ton of mistakes. They got sacks seven times, 1052 00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:45,239 Speaker 3: they had ninety eight penalty yards, they were five of 1053 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,640 Speaker 3: nineteen on third down and two of five in the 1054 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:51,520 Speaker 3: red zone. And even still, even without their two star receivers, 1055 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,320 Speaker 3: they still came a missed field goal away at the 1056 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,120 Speaker 3: end of the game from coming away with a tie. 1057 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,320 Speaker 3: So I'm not worried about the Titans. The Jaguars stink 1058 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,600 Speaker 3: Urban where you know, we're getting pictures of him out 1059 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 3: on the weekend. We can't be giving him weekends off. 1060 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,319 Speaker 3: You know, he's probably already getting his resume ready, he's 1061 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,879 Speaker 3: getting a memo ready about you know, his his next 1062 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,959 Speaker 3: time to go hang out with his family again. Jacksonville 1063 00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,399 Speaker 3: is just not good. Trevor Lawrence has thrown the ball. 1064 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,520 Speaker 3: The other team Tennessee owns this team. They've won seven 1065 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,480 Speaker 3: out of eight against Jacksonville, and four of those wins 1066 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,720 Speaker 3: are by twenty one points or more. Derrick Henry eats 1067 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 3: this team for breakfast and then he goes back for 1068 00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,840 Speaker 3: seconds too. Like, this guy just destroys this team. The 1069 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,160 Speaker 3: Titans are gonna win with He's an easy chance to 1070 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,560 Speaker 3: get them back on track again. So I love them 1071 00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 3: at minus three and a half. 1072 00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:39,759 Speaker 1: Here. Oh yeah, that's not a bad pick. And also 1073 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 1: I think you definitely want to get there before a J. 1074 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,920 Speaker 1: Brown and Julio Jones are announced then because if they 1075 00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 1: if they, if they're Annoulson, it's not is going to 1076 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:48,000 Speaker 1: go up. 1077 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:49,719 Speaker 2: So yeah, jumping out. 1078 00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 1: Start jumping on our hot reads early. We've been doing 1079 00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 1: really well. I forget what our record is last week, 1080 00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:55,960 Speaker 1: I know we killed it. 1081 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're getting great closing value.

Don't 1084 00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,960 Speaker 3: wait around on these lines. Look, this line is not 1085 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,040 Speaker 3: moving in Jacksonville's direction. Nobody wants to bet on Jacksonville 1086 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,240 Speaker 3: in this game, so it can only move in Tennessee's direction. 1087 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,640 Speaker 3: As we get injury news, as money starts coming in, 1088 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 3: you gotta jump on these lines early. And that's what 1089 00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,520 Speaker 3: we're doing with our hot rate here.
