Straight 3 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: Fire for Wednesday, January fifteenth. Got a great guest on 4 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 2: today's podcast. NFL Playoffs this weekend. Who better to bring 5 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 2: in than David Baker, the guy who always enters the 6 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 2: contest in Vegas, has done well in them. Did not 7 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 2: cash this year. He's won them before, which is impressive. 8 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: I have yet to get a win get to cash, 9 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: which is frustrating as hell. But we go into all 10 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: four games this weekend interestingly a lot of agreement. I 11 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 2: told you guys last week it was a teaser week. 12 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: Go back and listen to the Park podcast with turnoff. 13 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: I know you're not going to, but humor me, and 14 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: I mean I nailed the whole weekend with teasers parlays, 15 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: like the best teams are. Winter has not been like 16 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 2: a real upset. If you want to go Texans Overchargers, 17 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 2: find a mild upset, Washington over Tempa mild upset, but 18 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 2: like that's not a real upset. If Detroit were to 19 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: go down, that's an upset that would shock everybody. If 20 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: the Chiefs lost and they won't, that would be one 21 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: of the biggest upsets that I can recall in NFL 22 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: in recent maybe this century. Okay, is not happening. Rams Eagles. 23 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: We talk about that one, and of course then there's 24 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: the Ravens Bills game. A lot of people like Baltimore 25 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 2: I am. I'm slightly leaning the other way, but nothing 26 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 2: from me on the straight up on that one. I 27 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 2: did tease Buffalo. We'll get into it. Kind of a 28 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: slow Tuesday in sports, which is nice. 29 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: Listen. 30 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: We had college football playoff games Thursday and Friday.

He's the 56 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: contest guy. He just dominates. Also, he's big in Survivor. 57 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 2: But now we're in the playoffs and it's the Division 58 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 2: a round. Great game for Brandon David Baker, the superstar gambler. 59 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: How are you, man, man, I'm knowing great? 60 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 4: What a fun season, contests, Survivor, everything, and it's weird. 61 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 4: It's hard to you know, flip your mind onto just 62 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 4: one game or yeah, in this case, four games. 63 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 3: It's it's a whole different thing. 64 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 4: When you're kind of forced to bet on each game 65 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 4: or have opinions on each game a posted during the 66 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 4: regular season, you can kind of. 67 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: You know, more seek out spots. 68 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly, it's a whole different a whole different game, 69 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 4: for sure. 70 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: It's almost we'll get to a short I'm just curious, 71 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 2: how did you guys end up in the Westgate and Circa. 72 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 2: I was a little over five hundred I think fifty 73 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: two percent obviously didn't cash, but you know, kind of 74 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: proud of some of the some of the weeks. But 75 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:54,839 Speaker 2: how'd you end up doing? 76 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 4: I think, like I don't know top and I didn't 77 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 4: actually see the final results, but maybe like top fifty 78 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 4: or sixteen Westgate and then outside the money in Circa 79 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 4: they were both outside the money. But I'll be honest, 80 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 4: once we get to once we get to where where 81 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 4: you know, five hundred through a few weeks or whatever, 82 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 4: we we do take different different approaches. 83 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: We do take more of a game theory approach. 84 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 4: I would actually kind of like to do it one 85 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 4: year where you know, we just have a few that 86 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 4: it's like all just about you know, stat padding and 87 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 4: things like that and kind of. 88 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 3: See what you can do. 89 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 4: But you know, if you're if you're down there or 90 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 4: you know, let's say you have a three and two 91 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 4: week on the first week of the quarter or four 92 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 4: and one week, it's hard to really take some of 93 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 4: the freer squares, you know, with the line moves and 94 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 4: things like that, and so, you know, I don't get 95 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 4: artificially worried about like what the actual number is when 96 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 4: you know, I actually play. We play the contest to 97 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 4: try to maximize. 98 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: You know, the ev of each entries. 99 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 2: So oh yeah, definitely. So let's jump in. First of all, 100 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: how was your wild Card weekend? I had just a monster, 101 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: but it wasn't all straight up. It was a lot 102 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 2: of teasers and parlays because the favorites, as they've been 103 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 2: doing this season, crushed it. I'm Jay, how did you 104 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 2: end up doing? 105 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: Not that great? 106 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,479 Speaker 4: I started off, you know, my initial reads we were right, 107 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 4: but I don't know. 108 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 3: I got talked off of both. 109 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 4: The Texans and the Commanders, which was kind of kind 110 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 4: of sad for me. I was, you know, I don't 111 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 4: know if you remember our preseason pod, but I was, 112 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 4: you know, my prediction was Lions Texans, so I had 113 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 4: Lions Texans in the Super Bowl. I bet overs on 114 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 4: both of those teams. Was I was heavily invested in 115 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 4: both those teams, and you know, I just let the 116 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 4: narrative of what the Texans look like kind of sway 117 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 4: me off of them, and I'm kind of a little 118 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 4: sad about that. 119 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 3: And the Commanders. 120 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 4: I don't know, I didn't necessarily get swayed onto the box. 121 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 4: I just didn't end up playing the game. But my 122 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 4: initial thought was that was kind of a toss up 123 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 4: game and three points kind of felt like, you know, 124 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 4: a good there. But overall it was pretty good. I mean, 125 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 4: it was it was fine. My biggest play was by 126 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 4: far the Eagles. That was the one I had the 127 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 4: most confidence in. But I did kind of get worked 128 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 4: last night. I believed in Sam Donald. 129 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 3: I believe things. Yeah I did. 130 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,679 Speaker 4: I have to say I fell hook line and sinker 131 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 4: for this team. But I mean, more than anything, I 132 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 4: was you know, I was disappointed in Darnald, but I 133 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 4: was mostly disappointed in O'Connell and to a lesser extent, 134 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 4: Sean Payton. In the Broncos games. I felt like both 135 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 4: of these coaches really didn't give their chance, their team 136 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 4: a chance to win. I was really disappointed with Peyton 137 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 4: and O'Connell going to not taking every opportunity early in 138 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 4: the second half when they're down, you know, a touchdown 139 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 4: or two touchdowns to really kind of go for it. 140 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,559 Speaker 4: And you know, I saw Sean Payton earlier this season 141 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 4: against the Ravens. They lost forty one to ten, but 142 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 4: I came out like really impressed with him and the 143 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 4: team because early in the game they went for an 144 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 4: on fourth down multiple times and they ended up getting 145 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 4: blown out because it didn't work. But then they stepped 146 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 4: into this game plan versus the Bills, and they're down, 147 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 4: you know, thirteen to seven, they come out, run, run, pass. 148 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that very conservative. 149 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, so I was a little disappointed with that, and 150 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 4: O'Connell kind of did a lot of that, even though 151 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 4: the play calls. You know, he did run the ball 152 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 4: more more than I think he wanted to, but I 153 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 4: think he kind of knew that, you know, we have 154 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 4: to try to just get something to free up Darnold. 155 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: But just the lack of pace and the lack of. 156 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 4: Effort of just trying to push the ball was a 157 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 4: little disappointing. 158 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 3: But look, I want to give you know, give props 159 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:40,119 Speaker 3: to the Rams. 160 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 4: They were outstanding last night under obviously horrific circumstances with 161 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 4: LA and everything going on and moving the game and 162 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 4: all that. That defense, oh, very very impressive. 163 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean they've grown up a lot. Last 164 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 2: time we saw them, I guess it play A good 165 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: opponent was the Bills, and they gave up like forty 166 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: two and before that the Eagles all over them. So 167 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 2: I can understand some of the vikings takes. We'll get 168 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 2: to that game shortly. Let's start with Houston Chiefs. As 169 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: we're recording this on Tuesday afternoon, the Chiefs are this 170 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 2: has kind of been pinging around. It was like eight 171 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 2: and a half, then it went down I think to 172 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: seven and a half, and now it's up to nine. 173 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: I'm seeing. I don't know, man, I can't make a 174 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 2: case at all for the Texans. I guess their defense 175 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 2: could make a fluke play, splash play here or there. 176 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 2: I can't get out of my head, David. The twenty 177 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 2: four zero lead they had against the Chiefs. I'm sure 178 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: you remember that at Arrowhead it was twenty. 179 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, that was with Watson. That was a whole different. 180 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 2: That was with Watchson, totally different. But they were twenty 181 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 2: four nothing on the Chiefs and then they lose like 182 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: fifty one thirty or something. So I'm sure some people 183 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 2: are going to talk themselves into it, but Andy Reid 184 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 2: plenty of time to prepare Chiefs getting healthy. I mean, 185 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: this is a this is the only full side I 186 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 2: bet is Chiefs at eight. But I also love them 187 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 2: in every teaser angle possible under three. 188 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the thing with me is it's really 189 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 4: tough for me to want to lay eight points on 190 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 4: a total of forty one. You know, you're basically your 191 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 4: margin for error there is is really tight. Also, you 192 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 4: just have the Chiefs who just really don't traditionally. 193 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: Go for it. 194 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 4: They don't particularly gamble, They're not afraid to kick field goals, 195 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 4: They're not afraid to, you know, in the last five 196 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 4: minutes when you know Detroit may just try to, you know, 197 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 4: put that nail in the coffin touchdown. You know, you 198 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 4: know that Mahomes is going to just scramble around back there, 199 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 4: get the first down, find Kelsey's going to go down. 200 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 4: They're going to run the clock out, things like that. 201 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 4: So there's a lot less margin for error. But I mean, 202 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 4: I do see what you're saying. It is difficult to 203 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 4: trust this Houston team that has a real lack of 204 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 4: playmakers outside of Nico, who probably is the best receiver 205 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 4: left in the field. You know, obviously you can make 206 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 4: a case for Puco or AJ Brown, but just. 207 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 2: A bit about Brown, Mary Terry. But you're right Nico 208 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 2: Commys I mean, yeah, I. 209 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 4: Mean Nico's Nicos is good or not better than all 210 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 4: of them in my opinion. But the problem is the Chiefs. 211 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 4: You know, they are the best coach team, and Mahomes is, 212 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 4: you know, the smartest quarterback we've seen, you know, outside 213 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 4: of Brady or since Brady, or you know, over Brady, 214 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 4: under Brady, however you want to put it, however you 215 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 4: want to phrase it. He's very smart at game management. 216 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 4: So yeah, I just don't really like the Chiefs in 217 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 4: a blowout situation just because they're they don't have the playmakers. 218 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 3: But on the flip side, I do get it. 219 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 4: I do understand that this Texans offensive line is extremely flawed. 220 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 4: In Chris Jones putting pressure on CJ. Stroud, you know, 221 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 4: it's really something. I'm not sure if a light went 222 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 4: on in CJ's head or not, but it felt like 223 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 4: that first quarter against the Chargers, he was playing like 224 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 4: he had played a lot of this year, which wasn't good. 225 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 4: And as soon as they didn't call that intentional grounding 226 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 4: on safety and they fumbled the you know, the next 227 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 4: snap and he picked it up and he ran around, 228 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 4: he threw it. It's almost kind of like he was unleashed, 229 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 4: and he was kind of like, you know what, if 230 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 4: I'm going to go down, I'm going to go down, 231 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 4: and I'm going to go down swinging, and it's just 232 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 4: kind of like a light turned. This is a very 233 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 4: dangerous spot for underdogs. So I definitely see your take 234 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 4: on the Chiefs. And I had a long talk with 235 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 4: my partner who I do the contest with last night, 236 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 4: and he. 237 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 3: Was all in with you on the Chiefs. 238 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 4: I can't get there just because I don't really like 239 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 4: laying more than a touchdown with this Chiefs team. I 240 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 4: don't like laying more than a touchdown, but it's a 241 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 4: good defense, and I don't like laying more than a 242 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 4: touchdown when your best weapons are you know, Xavier Worthy, 243 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 4: who can't trust to catch a big ball. Hopkins, who 244 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 4: I can trust to catch big balls, but he's not 245 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 4: really a separator Hollywood Brown. You know he can catch 246 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 4: balls and he can separate, but I mean he really 247 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 4: is still coming off of an injury. 248 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 3: So I don't know. 249 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 4: I just don't really trust them to put up a 250 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 4: lot of points. I think I do think the Chiefs 251 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 4: win this game, but I think it's somewhere in you know, 252 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 4: nineteen sixteen range or something like that. 253 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 3: What about game? 254 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: Could I interest you in a Texans first quarter? Chiefs 255 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: basically sat there guys in week eighteen, then had a 256 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 2: bye week. Maybe they come out sluggish. That's one angle 257 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 2: maybe for the Texans. I haven't seen any props. I 258 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 2: see A first half is casey minus six. I just 259 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 2: nothing excites me about the Texans except their corners, who 260 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 2: played really well, but it was against lad McConkey in 261 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 2: some fifth rate Chargers guys. Then again, like you said, 262 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 2: Chiefs don't have any scary guys. 263 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 4: Well, the thing that I mean it's all going to 264 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 4: come down to can Will Anderson and this defensive line 265 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 4: get pressure on Mahomes and I think he can that. 266 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 4: The Chiefs offensive line has had a lot of issues 267 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 4: this year. But the thing with Mahomes is he kind 268 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 4: of he gets out of it. Even when he gets pressure, 269 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 4: like in these big moments, he seems to evade the 270 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 4: rush and either find a guy or scramble. You know, 271 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 4: So there's a lot of variants there. Do they end 272 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 4: up getting him down or does he pull his Mahomes magic. 273 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 4: I definitely would kind of lean if I'm looking at 274 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 4: props towards Mahomes over rushing attempts and things, because I 275 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,199 Speaker 4: can really see the Texans getting pressure on him. I 276 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 4: don't think they're going to be designed scrambles, but look 277 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 4: when the pressure is beating down on him, and we 278 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 4: know that this offensive line is not that great for 279 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 4: the Chiefs. Mahomes has had a propensity to escape and 280 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 4: run in the playoffs, so I could see that. 281 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 3: Being an angle. 282 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 4: I do see that the Chiefs might be slow starters. 283 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 4: We do know that they're quick finishers though, So I 284 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 4: do like your angle if you do like the you know, 285 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 4: if I like the Texans to maybe go at it 286 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 4: from a first half angle. 287 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: Washington Detroit. I'm pretty sure every casual gambler and probably 288 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: a lot of guys who just enjoy money are going 289 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 2: to have a Detroit KC teaser in there in their account. 290 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: Now the both lines. Detroit's up to nine and a half, 291 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 2: case at nine. My guess is a lot of that 292 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 2: has to do with teasers, because now you got a 293 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 2: seven point teaser has to get you under the three. 294 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: I like Jayden Daniels running against Detroit that Detroit has 295 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 2: given up a lot of yards to running quarterbacks because 296 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: they play a lot of man. It's just tough third 297 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: straight road game for Washington. We saw the Chargers wilt 298 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: in the second half of a third straight road game, 299 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 2: and I Detroit kind of rested Montgomery coming back. My 300 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 2: one caution on the big spread here is that both 301 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 2: of these coaches are roll of the dice gamblers. And 302 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 2: if Dan Campbell gets like, O hey, we got this 303 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 2: fourth and one from our own thirty eight in the 304 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 2: first quarter and there's a bubble stap all of a sudden, Washington, 305 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 2: Oh okay, we got something here. I just worry about 306 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 2: Washington's special teams. Their kicker, Oh gosh, what a that 307 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 2: guy's Zame Gonzales, that it doesn't have any confidence. I'm 308 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 2: sure you saw him pacing before the final kick and 309 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 2: then he hit the upright. So this is just teaser 310 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 2: action for me and I'll have a money line parlay 311 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 2: with Chiefs, Lions and then Eagles. 312 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, you hit the nail right on the head. 313 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 4: I think this game, the bigger spread doesn't scare me 314 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 4: as much, just because I feel like there's a lot 315 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 4: more variance on a fifty five point spread and two 316 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 4: guys who you know, it goes the other way too. 317 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 4: As much as Dan Campbell is willing to go for 318 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 4: it and put his team in position to end games 319 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 4: and score and thus maybe setting up good field position 320 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 4: for the Commanders, well, Dan Point has shown a propensity 321 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 4: to go for it as well. He knows he's going 322 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 4: to have to score almost every time they have the ball. 323 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 4: So I could see this game getting out of hand 324 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 4: from on the flip side too, because if they don't 325 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 4: convert those, you know, you're setting up short fields and 326 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 4: we know that the Lions can can convert from anywhere anytime. 327 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 4: I think there's just too many playmakers. 328 00:15:59,360 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 3: On the Lions. 329 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 4: You know, when I saw the line, I thought it 330 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 4: was high, and then when I started diving into it, 331 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 4: I mean, you really just have to find. 332 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 3: A way to limit mccorn. 333 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 4: I mean, Diami Brown had a nice game and Zakias 334 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 4: has had a couple of nice games. 335 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 3: You know, Aklon Robinson. 336 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 4: Are fine, but you know, they're all middle of the tier, 337 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 4: middle tier skill position players, and to have to constantly 338 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 4: be called on to score and have to score thirty 339 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 4: points a game, You're not going up against this Tampa 340 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 4: Bay pass defense. You're not going up against this Atlanta 341 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 4: Falcons the past defense. I understand that the Lions have 342 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 4: been susceptible, but they're starting to get guys back. 343 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 3: Angeloni is a big return. 344 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 4: I think they might have found themselves a little bit 345 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 4: in that Vikings game. You know, as much as we 346 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 4: want to say, was it the Vikings, was it the 347 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 4: Lions that kind of broke the Vikings or did you know, 348 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 4: we find the Lions might have been a little bit 349 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 4: of both. I mean, the Lions might have broke the 350 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 4: Vikings and maybe the Vikings health to shore a little 351 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 4: confidence there. I'm just going to trust that this Lions 352 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 4: team is going to be able to score almost every 353 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 4: time they have the ball. This this Commander's team doesn't 354 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 4: have depth and they don't really have playmakers on the 355 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 4: defensive side of the ball. The only reason that they 356 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 4: stopped the Bucks really was turnover and really just the 357 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 4: Commanders holding the ball, the lack of time of possession. 358 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 4: I feel like the Bucks were kind of able to 359 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 4: do what they wanted. So yeah, I think that the 360 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 4: Lions just get it done. I mean, I can't get 361 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 4: off this Lion's train, but I do like your thought 362 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 4: of finding a way to get this thing down to 363 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 4: the low field goal or whatnot. 364 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 3: I'm going to put some. 365 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 4: You know, some of my numbers to work and see 366 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 4: if I think that there might be better value and 367 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 4: just maybe vetting the Lions just to win the NFC, 368 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 4: trying to estimate what I think the chances are the 369 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 4: Rams win that game, and also kind of seeing what 370 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 4: I think the the money line will be in the 371 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 4: second round, because if I really do think that the 372 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 4: Lions are going to win this game, you can get 373 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 4: a little bit over even money. I think plus one 374 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 4: ten or around even money to win the NFC. So 375 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 4: if we can get through this game, we're going to 376 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 4: have a team that's probably going to be minus one 377 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 4: sixty minus one seventy verst the Eagles and probably minus 378 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 4: two to twenty or something maybe against the Rams, and 379 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 4: you're going to have them at even money. 380 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 3: So that's kind of the way I might. 381 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 4: I might end up attacking it, but I have to 382 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 4: go ahead and take a look and see, really what 383 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 4: I think that line's going to be posted at. 384 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting that Sunday game Rams Eagles. I'm seeing 385 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:37,239 Speaker 2: Eagles six, so it's not a huge spread. And what 386 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 2: do you make of this safe? So Rams were displaced, 387 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: had to go to Arizona, then they got to fly 388 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 2: back to La Not a bad play. Then on a 389 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 2: short week because they played Monday, They've got to fly 390 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 2: across the country to Philly. I'm seeing temperatures looks like 391 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 2: it's going to be not freezing, but in the thirties. 392 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 2: I kind of like this Rams team fully formed with 393 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 2: Kyne cup Hookah and Stafford and then the defense and 394 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 2: then you know, revenges can be difficult. I mean, Eagles 395 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 2: walked all over them. Do you think the Rams aren't 396 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 2: going to be ready for the run? I just don't 397 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 2: know about that Rams secondary. If you if you come 398 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: up on the line, they're just gonna have a j 399 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 2: Brown one on one, and you know he's a machine. 400 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: That guy's a beast. So I'm struggling to find a 401 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: path to victory for the Rams. But I keep coming 402 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 2: back to this. McVeigh versus Sirianni to me, is the 403 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 2: biggest coaching differential this round. 404 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's probably the biggest coaching differential in 405 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 4: the in the playoffs. 406 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 3: I mean, who's who Who do you. 407 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 4: Trust lead less than Siriani And who do you trust 408 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 4: more than McVeigh other than probably Andy Reid obviously. 409 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, but. 410 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is this is a really tough game because 411 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,439 Speaker 4: I love the physicality of the Eagles and thought that 412 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 4: offensive line is just just beastly. But do we trust 413 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 4: do we trust Hurts? And that's the question that you 414 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 4: kind of have to ask yourself because the Rams are 415 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 4: going to sell out to stop Barkley, I think, and 416 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 4: you know it's Barkley able to get off. And do 417 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 4: you trust Hurts if he doesn't? I like Hurts more 418 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 4: than other people do. I think he's fine. But yeah, 419 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 4: I really like what this Rams looks like. I mean, 420 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 4: it's crazy because I really did like the Viking so much, 421 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 4: But now looking back on, you know, they went to 422 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 4: San Francisco when San Francisco needed to win. It was 423 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 4: a little it was rainy, but they held them to 424 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 4: single digits. Then they played the Jets. You know, I 425 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 4: don't think any of us really feel that highly about 426 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 4: the Jets. 427 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 3: But you know, the offense did move a lot. 428 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 4: The end of the year, and they basically shut them 429 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 4: down to under ten points. They played Arizona team that 430 00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 4: was you know, Kyler and and have weapons, and they 431 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 4: shut them to under ten points. You had a Viking 432 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 4: team come in that was, you know, one of the 433 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 4: top five offenses in the league, and they shut them 434 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 4: down to under ten points. It's tough to lay six 435 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 4: points in a game that Again, I don't particularly see 436 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 4: a ton of scoring. I think Philly likes the limit possessions. 437 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 4: They like to run the football, they like to keep 438 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,120 Speaker 4: the clock moving, they like to play pretty slow, and 439 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,879 Speaker 4: when you look at the Rams, they like to complete 440 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 4: high and play high percentage completions. So if you're limiting 441 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 4: possessions and you have two teams that I think are 442 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,399 Speaker 4: are good, and you have one team with a pretty 443 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 4: excellent coach, I think his his goals to get to 444 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 4: that fourth quarter in a one score game. So I'm 445 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 4: leaning at this point Rams. 446 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 2: On the money line. 447 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 4: No, no, no, But the points I don't really I 448 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 4: don't think I really have a strong take at lat 449 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 4: Lean over two to one with the Eagles, because you know, 450 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 4: like you say, this is a really tough spot. You 451 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 4: see a lot of times when teams go through or hardships. 452 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 4: A lot of times that first game they can find 453 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 4: everything that they have to put into it, but then 454 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:12,200 Speaker 4: having to rebound that second week. You know, I can 455 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 4: remember this. I mean, there have been many instances. One 456 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 4: that just always stuck with me was the Sean Taylor game. 457 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 4: I don't know if you remember back when you know, 458 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 4: when he got killed and Washington had to play. I 459 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 4: thought that that was just a time. I don't know 460 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 4: why that game just sticks with me. But they they 461 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 4: went out and they played like so hard for him 462 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 4: in a spot where I didn't think they would ever 463 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 4: have enough emotion to get through it. 464 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 3: And I'm pretty sure they won that game. 465 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 4: And then the next week, you know, kind of fell 466 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 4: a little flat if I remember correctly. And you just 467 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 4: see that a lot of times when teams have go 468 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 4: through things that are tough, and I'm not comparing you know, 469 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 4: a death to you know, a fire in the community, 470 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,120 Speaker 4: but it's just you don't know what these guys are 471 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 4: going through. You don't know how many of them had 472 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 4: people affected, friends, family themselves. So it is a very 473 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 4: very tough situation on a short week to go back 474 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 4: and get motivated and kind of run through it all 475 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 4: again against a very physical, dominant team in the Eagles. 476 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 477 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: the nation.

He had the scoop 482 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 2: and score. He's got to go up against Jordan Mailatta, 483 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: who is the number one graded left tackle in the league. 484 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: I think he's all pro. I mean, that offensive line 485 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 2: for the Eagles is just unbelievable, and I do ultimately 486 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 2: think they kind of push push, push the rams around. 487 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 2: Let me quickly ask you on AJ Brown the whole 488 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 2: reading the book thing. I haven't seen any interesting takes. 489 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 2: I have one. I'm just curious your thoughts on on 490 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 2: AJ Brown reading a book on the sideline or maybe 491 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 2: you have none. It doesn't matter, it's irrelevant. 492 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 4: You know, I thought it looked very weird at the time. 493 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 4: It definitely look like, you know, Hey, I'm not I'm 494 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 4: not needed here. I'll just sit here and read a book. 495 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 4: I don't need to look at any film, I don't 496 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 4: need to look at the iPad and and anything, because 497 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 4: you know you're not using me anyway, So what does 498 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 4: it matter? You know, that was my initial take, But 499 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 4: it looks like it's just something that he did that 500 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 4: was kind of caught and weird. But I don't know, man, 501 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 4: these these wide receiver devas, they're they're they're another they're 502 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 4: another breed. The guys super super talented, and if I 503 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 4: was the Eagles, my first thing would be to try 504 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 4: to get him involved early. I'm I'm kind of surprised 505 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 4: at the lack of use of AJ, but uh, they 506 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 4: have a clear vision. It seems like of of working 507 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 4: Saquon working the clock, keeping the. 508 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 3: Ball out of Jalen's hands. 509 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 4: And I don't know if this is just a fundamental 510 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,439 Speaker 4: lack of trust that Sirianni and Kellen Moore have against 511 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts or not. But yeah, I'm interested in your 512 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 4: take on the whole book reading. 513 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 2: So they've had some beaf this season Brown and Hurts 514 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 2: and there was the report, remember the was it the 515 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: former I forget it was Brandon Graham. Somebody came out 516 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 2: and was set on like a radio. Yeah, they don't talk. 517 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 2: Then we got to patch this up, but made it 518 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 2: a big deal. My guess is AJ Brown went into 519 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 2: that game knowing, Hey, we're running the hell out of 520 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 2: the football. You're not gonna get many looks. And he 521 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 2: brought the book out there as kind of an fu 522 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 2: without being angry guy that hey, I got three targets 523 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: one catch. Are you kidding me? 524 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: What am I doing? 525 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 2: But instead of making a fuss, I'm just gonna be 526 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 2: reading on the sideline like a silent protest if you will, 527 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,639 Speaker 2: and I do think your spot on. I will be 528 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 2: looking at AJ brown props this week. I think they're 529 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 2: gonna look to get him involved early, like who needs 530 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 2: that nonsense? I think ultimately I'm probably on Eagles, but again, 531 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 2: teasers way better if I could just tease them down 532 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 2: to win. Really, I love that. Now last game is 533 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 2: we say the best for last, and so did the league. 534 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 2: Baltimore at Buffalo. I gotta be honest, Dave, I'm a 535 00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 2: little surprised Baltimore is taking some money now. It's I 536 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 2: think it's pinging around one one and a half pick them, 537 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 2: So it's not like a huge swing, but any early 538 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 2: lean in this. 539 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 4: One, Yeah, I'm not surprised, honestly, I was. I was 540 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 4: shocked that the books opened Baltimore Buffalo as favorite. I 541 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 4: quickly thought that that would get changed, that that would 542 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 4: flip only because you know, I don't know why, but 543 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 4: just one thing I'd love to do is just constantly 544 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 4: look at the futures and see what the books are 545 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 4: telling you, what the markets are telling you. And Baltimore 546 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 4: has continuously been favored over Buffalo in odds to win 547 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 4: the AFC for weeks. So if Baltimore was going to 548 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 4: be odds on favorite to beat, I mean, we're odds 549 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 4: on favor to win the AFC. When you're comparing their 550 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 4: price with Buffalo's price, that just tells me to me 551 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 4: that the market feels that Baltimore is better than Buffalo. 552 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 4: So that was kind of my thought, and it's kind 553 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,159 Speaker 4: of flipped to that, and I'll be honest, I think 554 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 4: it's correct. I really I think Baltimore is better than Buffalo. 555 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 4: You know, Buffalo is better when they have just a 556 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 4: distinct edge at quarterback, and but they don't. They don't 557 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 4: have the distinct edge quarterback. Like the quarterbacks you can 558 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 4: kind of just when I say throw them out, I 559 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 4: don't mean throw them out, because they're obviously the most 560 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 4: important part in the game, but it's like, you know, 561 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,959 Speaker 4: they're Buffalo's edge over every other team is just their 562 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 4: quarterback is so much better. 563 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 3: Well it's not. And let's just look at the other 564 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 3: players on the field. I trust. 565 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 4: I trust the playmakers on Baltimore. I trust the coaching 566 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 4: staff on Baltimore. 567 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 3: I was not that. 568 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 4: Impressed by Buffalo in their playoff game. That game was 569 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 4: there for Denver, and we want to revision his history, 570 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 4: look back at this game and just go, oh, it's 571 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 4: a blow It was a blowout. The Denver Broncos had 572 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 4: a kick at the end of the first half to 573 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 4: tie the football game. 574 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 2: I saw that. 575 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, And then when they didn't get it, and 576 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 4: Buffalo goes down, it's thirteen to seven and Buffalo has 577 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 4: the ball fourth and one, and they go for it, 578 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 4: and instead of running your quarterback and getting that first 579 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 4: down and just getting the ball in the end zone, 580 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 4: he drops back and he throws a pass to Ty 581 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 4: Johnson that I don't know what the percentages it were 582 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 4: from next gen stats, but I'm sure the percent completion 583 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 4: percentage on a throw like that to Ty Johnson was 584 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:54,719 Speaker 4: very very small. If that ball, if his shin ankle 585 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,959 Speaker 4: anything touches on the bounds is thirteen to seven and 586 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 4: Denver has the football. They threw the ball, fine, never 587 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 4: threw the ball, fine, But that play just kind of 588 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 4: turned it. And obviously that's what we're looking at. You know, 589 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 4: when you have Josh Allen and Lamar john Lamar Jackson 590 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 4: is the game can get flipped on one play. 591 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 3: But I don't know. 592 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 4: I just don't fully trust the playmakers on Buffalo. 593 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 3: But I mean I do trust. I do trust Allan. 594 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 4: I mean, he's insanely good. I've said that he's the 595 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 4: best quarterback in the NFL. Lamar has won me over. 596 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 4: I mean I have to, you know, concede that I 597 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 4: was wrong on Lamar at the beginning of his career. 598 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 3: I've been wrong on Lamar. You know for years. 599 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 4: The man is insanely good at at football. I know 600 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 4: that a lot of people just want to call him 601 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 4: a running back at quarterback, the guy's not. He can 602 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 4: throw the football, and in this NFL landscape, you know, 603 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 4: I trust him I trust him. I think they learned 604 00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 4: a lot last year with their game plan versus the Chiefs, 605 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 4: and I don't see I don't see Monkin making the 606 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,479 Speaker 4: same mistakes. I feel this Ravens teams on a mission. 607 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 4: I feel like Buffalo is beatable in the middle of 608 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 4: the field, and I think that this Ravens defense has 609 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 4: kind of found themselves a little bit the last quarter 610 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 4: of the season. I think it's going to be outstanding 611 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 4: game and I'm not going to be shocked if Buffalo wins. 612 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 4: But my leen is on Baltimore. I like their coaching 613 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 4: staff better, I like their playmakers better, I trust their 614 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 4: scheme more, I like their defense a little more, and 615 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 4: I think that this is the Ravens time. I think 616 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 4: this is Ravens win this game, and then they go 617 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 4: in and they beat the Chiefs. That's my That's been 618 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 4: my thought from the beginning of the playoffs, and I'm 619 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 4: not I'm not changing. 620 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 2: I think I'm I agree with you that the public 621 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 2: sentiment is, hey man, they didn't really put away Denver 622 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 2: like you. Denver hung around the final score. You know, 623 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 2: they ultimately kind of slept walk to in this most 624 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 2: of this fourth quarter, but it was kind of there 625 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 2: for Denver if they could make a play. Peyton was 626 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 2: being coaching a little scared, I thought, or just nervous, 627 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 2: not wanting to screw up. But my gut tells me 628 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 2: that Baltimore first half on Saturday, where it was twenty 629 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 2: one nothing and it was like three hundred yards to 630 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 2: ninety five at the half or whatever the number was, 631 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 2: seventeen first down to two. It was laughable. I think 632 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 2: everybody saw that and said, this is Baltimore. Baltimore's here, 633 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 2: They're a juggernaut, and I just looked it up. So 634 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 2: in the earlier meeting when Baltimore killed him, three starters 635 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 2: were out in the Buffalo defense, two linebackers and then 636 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 2: Johnson and Derek. Henry takes the first touch of the 637 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 2: game or first handoff and goes eighty seven yards to 638 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 2: the house and it was like, oh boy, and Buffalo 639 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 2: just couldn't catch up. I wonder, what do you think 640 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 2: of this Buffalo defense, because other than that Denver first drive, 641 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 2: they didn't give up much Or was that Peyton's weak 642 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 2: play calling? 643 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 4: Wow, that was definitely Peyton's weak play calling. Bo made 644 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 4: some good throws, he never gave them a chance I've 645 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 4: been a huge Boneck supporter. I've been a huge supporter 646 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 4: of this's this team, and I was extremely disappointed at 647 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 4: the game plan. The Broncos are terrible a running the football, 648 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 4: the Bills are pretty good at stopping the run, and 649 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 4: the Bills can be beat with the pass. Uh And 650 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 4: I don't really I think that Peyton just kind of 651 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 4: took the ball out of out of bose hands. 652 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 2: So do the Flowers injury do anything for like, if 653 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 2: he doesn't go, and I haven't seen a report if 654 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 2: he's not her either way, but if he doesn't go, 655 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 2: does that hurt the pass game? And Buffalo you think 656 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 2: just loads up and says, hey, we're not scared of 657 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 2: Rashod Bateman. You know, go ahead, We're just we're gonna 658 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 2: load up on stop Derek Henry. 659 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 3: I can't get the first meeting out of my head either. 660 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 4: I was on Buffalo and I think I was dead 661 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 4: I was dead wrong on that game. 662 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 3: I don't mind, but I don't mind. 663 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 4: Baltimore in twelve personnel would likely and Andrews out there. 664 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 4: Just everything is open for them. Andrews is a really 665 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 4: good receiver, is a very good receiver. Yeah, the wide 666 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 4: receivers are not great. And Bateman actually impressed me a 667 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 4: lot this year. He's caught a lot more balls he was. 668 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 4: He had the drops for a while, but he's he's 669 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 4: holding onto the football. Just the threat of Lamar Henry 670 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 4: Andrews likely, I mean, that's a physical game, and I 671 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:26,040 Speaker 4: know that Buffalo is missing some pieces, but I mean 672 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 4: that was complete domination. And and look this this Baltimore team. 673 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 4: They go up against Lamar Jackson every week, so you know, 674 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 4: bringing down Josh Allen's not white. It's the same as 675 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 4: it is to teams that go up against But I 676 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 4: mean it works the other way too. I mean Baltimore, 677 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 4: I mean, Buffalo gets to see Josh Allen and they've 678 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 4: been prepping for him. So it's really kind of a 679 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 4: great game just from I mean, not kind of, I 680 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:54,479 Speaker 4: mean it is a great game, but it's a very 681 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 4: interesting game, from the fact that a lot these teams 682 00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 4: do kind of mirror each other. They both have physical, 683 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 4: physical quarterbacks, physical running backs, not the best weapons on 684 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 4: the outside, rush good rush defenses, not the best pass defenses, 685 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 4: you know, but I trust hardball a little bit more. 686 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 3: Then than McDermott. McDermott McDermott. 687 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 2: But yeah, I do, Oh, I do. I'm sorry, I 688 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 2: do have a little money on this. I I teased 689 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 2: Buffalo up from one to seven in a teaser with 690 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 2: with Kansas City. Kansas City down a bartol. I don't 691 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 2: think Buffalo gets blown out at home? 692 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. 693 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 2: Oh the teasers at minus one twenty Oh, they're great 694 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 2: through the key numbers. But final question, Dave real quick, 695 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 2: who has a better chance to beat the Chiefs next 696 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 2: week in Arrowhead, Baltimore or Buffalo, assuming who the winner 697 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 2: gets out unscathed, no major injuries. 698 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 4: I mean, I would, honestly just I think that I 699 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 4: think they both have equal chance. I think it's kind 700 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 4: of a I think d two teams are really good. 701 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 4: In my opinion, they're the two best teams in the 702 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 4: a FC. That being said, anybody who follows me at 703 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,359 Speaker 4: all on anything at all knows that I've perpetually been 704 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 4: losing money betting against the Chiefs for years. So it's 705 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 4: not really, you know, earth shattering info that I'm giving 706 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 4: here that I don't really love the Chiefs. I don't know, 707 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 4: I mean, but I'm just going to go and say 708 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 4: that whoever wins this game, I'm rooting for to win 709 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 4: the AFC. I think as NFL watching nation and a 710 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 4: big fan of the league, I'm ready to see some 711 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 4: different games. I'm ready to see some different teams. I 712 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,919 Speaker 4: hope that we will have a Lion Super Bowl versus 713 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 4: the winner of the Baltimore Buffalo game. To me, I 714 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 4: think it's the most intriguing, it's the most interesting, and 715 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,879 Speaker 4: also I just think it's just fun for just being 716 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,280 Speaker 4: able to win in different ways. 717 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 3: You know, you have a different type of coach in Detroit. 718 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:13,040 Speaker 4: You have a pocket passer in Detroit versus scrambler in 719 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 4: the AFC, if you get one of those two teams. 720 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 4: You have teams that were built kind of through the 721 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 4: draft versus you know, through the line versus through skill positions. 722 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 4: You know, just all the different ways that you can 723 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 4: kind of build the team bringing in ex players. I 724 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,839 Speaker 4: don't know, I think it's just just fun. I'm kind 725 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 4: of tired of the Andy Reid Mahomes thing, but hey, 726 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 4: they were all tired of Brady, and you know, I 727 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 4: loved Brady, so I can understand the Mahomes love. But 728 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 4: I'm just hoping for a better week in of football, honestly, 729 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 4: and I really just hope that all four team, all 730 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 4: four teams that are down, don't give up. I was 731 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 4: very disappointed with kind of the level of quit that 732 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 4: we had from some of these teams. And that's the 733 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 4: one thing that I will say that's kind of concerning 734 00:36:57,080 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 4: about with teases is in the playoffs kind of things 735 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 4: have a tendency to snowball. 736 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 3: So in the in the regular. 737 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 4: Season, when teams take the foot off the gas, in 738 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,479 Speaker 4: the postseason, it really doesn't happen as much. 739 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,880 Speaker 3: So, you know, if you're thinking. 740 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 4: About teasing some of these dogs up, I know you're 741 00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:19,359 Speaker 4: looking the other way to tease some of the favorites down. 742 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 4: But when you're looking to teach some of these dogs up, 743 00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 4: sometimes the games can kind of go sideways, as we 744 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 4: saw and you know the wildcard rounds. 745 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 2: So all right, David Baker, great stuff. Hopefully gave out 746 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 2: some winners here, and you know, good luck this weekend obviously, David. 747 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 2: We'll talk to you too, buddy. 748 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate you, and thanks for having me on. 749 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 4: Always a big fan of yours, and great job with 750 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 4: all your work you're doing with Colin and Fox and 751 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 4: all that stuff.
