00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 2: Welcome in, We'll drive in the great episode two sixty

10
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: six hour Week four gambling show. There's a Cowboys game tonight.

11
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: There's a ton of football to get to. However, we're

12
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: not going to start in any of those places. Uh,

13
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: let's quickly get to what is not going to be

14
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 2: on the show today? Not on the show today. Travis Kelsey, Well,

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: he actually kind of will be on the show, but

16
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: him saying he's been playing like trash Lebron on broadcasting,

17
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: saying he'll see I'll take the under on Lebron broadcasting

18
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: jobs in his future for any company he doesn't own,

19
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: and shoey Otani's fifty to fifty home run ball is

20
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: headed to auction. However, here's the deal and Demons's here.

21
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 2: Of course he's here. We'll go over betts and topics

22
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: and do a ton with him. He'll give out, hopefully

23
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: a winning teaser. We gotta at some point have one

24
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: of those. I had a winning week last week. Demonse's

25
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: teaser died on Thursday Night football before we even got

26
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: to the weekend, which is a sad, sad thing when

27
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: it's like you don't even have the Sunday games to

28
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: look forward to from a gambling perspective. But we can't

29
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: start in any of those places. And I would ask

30
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: the producers, you can put a ten minute clock on

31
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: me on this, and I'm gonna try to stay true

32
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: to it because I also want the full ten minutes

33
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: that we do here to be posted to all of

34
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: our feeds. I think ten minutes is the most anyone

35
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: will ever watch anything on the internet as a clip.

36
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: It's probably a little long, but I'm gonna try to

37
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: keep to it because I saw tweet last night and

38
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: then I followed up to make sure it wasn't fake.

39
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: And it's not. And it absolutely enraged me, and I

40
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: was like, you know what, let's just do it. So

41
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: if we can show Caitlin Clark's season ended last night

42
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: and the WNBA playoffs have been phenomenal, and it looks

43
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: like my team that we said was gonna threepeat, I'm

44
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: big on three peats this year, Las Vegas Aces and

45
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 2: Asia Wilson. Despite a mediocre regular season, I think they're

46
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: gonna win the championship. Caitlin Clark, after a little rocky

47
00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 2: start to the year, ended up actually exceeding expectation. This

48
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 2: clearcut top ten player in the league, already arguably top

49
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: five player in the league, already got the team to

50
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: the playoffs. But none of that is the story, and

51
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: none of that is the story for me right now,

52
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: because this mediocre, unimpressive grown woman decided she was gonna

53
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: wear this outfit looking like this to a basketball game.

54
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: And if you can't see it, says ban nails, and

55
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: she has long fake nails on her fingers, mocking Djon

56
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: A Carrington. Djon A Carrington, who plays for the Connecticut

57
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: Son who was interrogated all week because when she swiped

58
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: for the ball she hit Caitlyn Clark in the eye.

59
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 2: Forget the fact that Caitlyn knew it was unintentional. Everyone

60
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: watching seem to think was unintentional. The goddamn Internet decided

61
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: maybe it was intentional, and it became the story. And

62
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: if you sense anger in my voice, it's because it's there.

63
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: Because race in this country is a rubber band, y'all.

64
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: And when one side stretches, the other side gets a

65
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: little more tense. And then when one side snaps back,

66
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: the other side feels the reaction to it. And fortunately,

67
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: by some miracle, our country's racial rubber band hasn't actually

68
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: fully snapped in one hundred and sixty years. But every

69
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: time it's stretched and every time there's pressure on it,

70
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 2: it's not quite the same. It's frayed a bit, it's

71
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 2: distorted a bit, and it's a little bit weaker. Moving forward,

72
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: and here is what has happened over what should have

73
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 2: been the greatest season in women's professional basketball history.

74
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: You got this boatload.

75
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: Of new fans because Caitlyn Clerk is box office, right,

76
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: and the rest of the rookie class is very impressive.

77
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clerk is box office. But unfortunately, and inevitably and

78
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 2: the league should have seen this train coming down the tracks.

79
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: On that bandwagon were folks that weren't fans of basketball,

80
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: that weren't even actual fans of Caitlyn Clark. They were

81
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 2: fans of what they thought Caitlyn could represent, which was

82
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 2: the humbling of black women.

83
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 3: And you got this.

84
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 2: Cavalcade of open, unabashed racists who tried to put a

85
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: hood of Caitlin Clark fandom on and on social internet,

86
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: and last night in person, tried their.

87
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: Best to terrorize her opposition.

88
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: And while I have said I think it'd be better

89
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: for everyone not to read their social media feeds, that's

90
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 2: easier said than done.

91
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 3: And de Jena got a.

92
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: Damn email from somebody saying basically, hope you die.

93
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: And like I said, it's a rubber band.

94
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: And so what happens when it gets as bad as

95
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: it got as it has gotten and the other side

96
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 2: gets tenser than all of a sudden you have folk

97
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: who are.

98
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 3: Seeing this happen, seeing this big.

99
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: Tent now has a corner of the tent occupied by

100
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: figurative torch wielding racists, and they are they almost as

101
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: a defense mechanism, start to minimize the actual on court

102
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: impact of Caitlyn Clark as like a protectionism. And then

103
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: the folks that weren't the torch wielding racists and were

104
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: just enjoying the basketball they see, well, hold on, there's

105
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: a lot of women who cover this league, majority of

106
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: which black women, seem to be downplaying or hating on,

107
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: or dismissing Caitlyn.

108
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: And then they get upset.

109
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: And now everyone on the road upper band is their

110
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: hair is up, they're defensive. They're not actually able to

111
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: give at all times their full honest opinion of what

112
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: they're seeing on the basketball court because the goddamn racist

113
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: ruined it for all of us.

114
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 3: And that.

115
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: Is a tale as old as time for so many things,

116
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: multi cultural events in this country that could be great,

117
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: and the goddamn racist ruin it for us. And now

118
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: people get tribal and defensive and kind of illogical and

119
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: all of it. And we have now reached a point

120
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 2: where and I apologize because she didn't ask for this,

121
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: but it is incumbent upon on Caitlyn herself to be

122
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: more vocal in shouting this down. When asked, she has

123
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 2: given the right answers, and she didn't ask for any

124
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: of this.

125
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: She's a kid, thrust.

126
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: Into superstardom by her own athletic brilliance, and she is

127
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: not accountable for the actions of her fans. However, this

128
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: is a massive moment for her sports and her league,

129
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: and you need people other than the people being victimized

130
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: by these trash human beings to put up a wall

131
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 2: against it. So I think Caitlyn needs to be more proactive.

132
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 2: I know Kathy Engelbert and the WNBA do that woman

133
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,119
Speaker 2: should not have been a lowed to remain in the stadium.

134
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: That is an openly racist, defiant act. Somebody else tweeted, like,

135
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: I've been a never been in a WNBA game before

136
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: where there were so many where there were maga hats.

137
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: You can wear your maga hats. That's you're making a

138
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 2: political statement, no problem. Now, it's an intentionally provocative political

139
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: political statement, just like wearing a Harris Waltz hat to

140
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: a NASCAR event would be. You know, the general demographic

141
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: of the population you're walking into, but you're doing it

142
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 2: to make a statement, no problem. You're you're you know,

143
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: you're trying to get a rise out of people. That's

144
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 2: everyone's right. That shit that woman did that she felt

145
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: comfortable doing, going by the way, not in the Indiana

146
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: Fever stadium as an opposing team fan, was the visual

147
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 2: representation of what these women in the league have been

148
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: saying we've been dealing with all year. It's not actual

149
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: Indiana Fever fans. It's not actual Caitlin Clark fans.

150
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: It is.

151
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: People that want to see black women humbled, that are

152
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 2: using Caitlin as an avatar for their own perverse hopes

153
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: and desires. And at this point there needs to be

154
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 2: a full fronted assault against it, because this rubber band

155
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: man can only stretch so damn far, and it is

156
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: putting great Monica McNutt Andrea Carter, people that have been

157
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 2: are great journalists, great commentators, are consistently put in this

158
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: awful position where because the racists have spoiled the well

159
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 2: for everyone they I would imagine I even spoken with them,

160
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 2: and I don't want to speak for them, but I

161
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 2: would imagine they feel at times almost an obligation to

162
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: not only promote other players, but to try to balance

163
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: the scales on an on court perspective. When from an

164
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: on court perspective, in my opinion, there's two overwhelming players

165
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: this year, Asia Wilson and Caitlin Clark doesn't mean she's

166
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: second best player, but it means given the story that

167
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: her being a rookie, her performance, all of it. And

168
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: I understand and I empathize with the because of the

169
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 2: toxicity of the rest of it, wanting to kind of

170
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: bump up Angel or bump up other players. And Djena

171
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: just one most im breve players.

172
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 3: He's a great player.

173
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: But we haven't even been able to have a truly

174
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 2: honest basketball discussion most of the year. And it's because

175
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: the wrong people stumbled upon the party. And now it's

176
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 2: up to everyone, even folks that didn't invite them and

177
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: didn't want them there, to help kick them out, even

178
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 2: if though even if the people were kicking out are saying,

179
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: but wait, we're here to see you, we support you,

180
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: we're adding eyeballs, we're paying the entry fee, doesn't matter.

181
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 3: All money ain't good money.

182
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:52,839
Speaker 2: And that shit last night was repugnant and repulsive and

183
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: it's infuriating. And I'd love to be able to sit

184
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: here and tell you a basketball story about the season,

185
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 2: but I can't because that's not the story of the season. Sadly,

186
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: the greatest season in WNBA history, arguably the biggest story

187
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: actually wasn't about the basketball and the league leadership, and

188
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 2: it's star players across the board, including Caitlin, need to

189
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: stand up against it. We'll talk football next quick break,

190
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: right back, What's right?

191
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 3: All right?

192
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 2: Welcome back in What's driving Nick Right? Week four Gambling Show.

193
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 2: We'll get to the picks in the next segment. We

194
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: kind of had a weird first segment. Also, by the way,

195
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 2: for just our producers. I'm not sure if I'm seeing

196
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: the right box. I'm just seeing myself by myself. There's

197
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 2: no rundown or time or anything. Maybe there's not supposed

198
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: to be. I'm not sure the demanse split screen is

199
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 2: in the is in the kind of box beneath what

200
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: I'm seeing.

201
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: But that's fine.

202
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: Demon's welcome in. Good to see you. Sorry for leaving

203
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: you out there.

204
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: I had something to get off my chest.

205
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: Just imagine being that fucking mediocre of a grown woman

206
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: and being.

207
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 3: Like, this is what I what'd you do last night?

208
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: I went to a PTA meeting. What did you do

209
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 3: last night?

210
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 4: Oh?

211
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 3: I went to the theater with my friends. What did

212
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 3: you do last night?

213
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: I made cardboard nails to go try to mock someone

214
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 2: who could be my daughter's age because cause I pretend

215
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 2: to like this basketball player. Go ahead, what are we doing,

216
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: Bill's Ravens. Where are we starting the show?

217
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 4: We are starting off with Bill's Ravens. Yeah, Baltimore may

218
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 4: have took care of business in Dallas last week, but

219
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 4: they've got some more difficult business to take care of

220
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 4: this week against the Bills, who were coming to town

221
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: looking for their September championship. This game could have real

222
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 4: playoff ripple effects and is bound to shake up the

223
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 4: power rankings. So who has more to prove here? Bills

224
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 4: are Ravens?

225
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 3: Oh?

226
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: I think the Ravens. Well, the Ravens have more to lose,

227
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 2: that's for sure, But you asked more to prove The

228
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: Ravens have more to lose because they're one and two

229
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: and they still need to keep stacking wins. I I

230
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: actually think more to prove, pardon me, is Buffalo only

231
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: because of this Now, Buffalo has been wildly impressive, wildly impressive,

232
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: but they also if they like, let's play out the

233
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: theoretical of the Ravens beat them soundly, then all of

234
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: a sudden, folks are gonna be like, Okay, So Buffalo

235
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: escaped with a win against Arizona and you know, to

236
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: the benefit of a huge missed defensive pass interference call

237
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: at the very end. But of course that was not

238
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: a storyline anywhere, because mist calls are only a storyline

239
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: if they help the Kansas City Chiefs, not if any

240
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: other team. People probably don't even know what I'm talking about.

241
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 2: But go watch the end of the raven of the

242
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 2: Bills Cardinals game, and then they beat the Dolphins in

243
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: the game two. It got rocked, and people think the

244
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 2: Dolphins aren't that good, and then the Jags, who are

245
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: a winless team again, I think the Bills are excellent.

246
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: I'm simply saying if they in their first game against

247
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: a team that right now people think is a playoff team,

248
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: they get beat, then all of a sudden some of

249
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 2: the doubt will creep in. I think despite their record,

250
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: everyone acknowledges the Ravens are good. The Ravens almost had

251
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: a ten point fourth quarter comeback against the Chiefs. They

252
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 2: controlled the Raiders game the whole way and then blew

253
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: it oddly and dominated the Cowboys for three quarters and

254
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: then almost blew it oddly. What the Ravens need to

255
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 2: prove and there's a weird one if they get a

256
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 2: big lead, is that they can hold it. Like I

257
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: don't think anyone doubts that the Ravens can look awesome.

258
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,679
Speaker 2: They looked awesome all of last year, and they have

259
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: looked awesome for sections of this year. They have just

260
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 2: they played an A level fourth quarter against the Chiefs

261
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: and then an F fourth quarter against the Raiders and

262
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 2: an F fourth quarter against the Cowboys, so that they're

263
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 2: in a different spot. But I do think right now

264
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: I would say after Kansas City that I would power

265
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 2: rank which I don't like to do, but if I

266
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: were to do it, I would power rank the AFC

267
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 2: Kansas City, Buffalo, Baltimore. That's how I see it in

268
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: this very moment, all right, Next?

269
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 4: Oh okay, that was quick. Yeah, So Dallas is playing

270
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 4: the Giants tonight. That should be a give me huh

271
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: over A seventy five percent of Cowboys fans are blaming

272
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 4: Jerry Jones for the Dallas struggles in the first few weeks.

273
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 4: He actually took full ownership of it. Jerry got them

274
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 4: into this mess. But do you think there's anything that

275
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 4: Jerry can do himself to get them out?

276
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 3: No, there's nothing he can do.

277
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: And I listen, Jerry took ownership of it, Demansey because

278
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: he wants ownership of the credit if it gets turned around,

279
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: like Jerry wants all things Cowboys to be about Jerry.

280
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 2: So he'll happily take all the blame because he wants

281
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 2: all the credits get going exactly right, if things get

282
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: going in the right direction. Uh No, the I place

283
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 2: the majority of the blame actually on if I have

284
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: to pick one individual, this is gonna sound unfair, but

285
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: if I have to pick one individual, I pick Michael Parks.

286
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: It's yes, it's bigger than him.

287
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 2: But the problem has been their defense, and he's supposed

288
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: to arguably be the best defensive player in the entire sport,

289
00:19:54,720 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: and the Cowboys defense has been dreadful this season. Micah

290
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: has done had nothing of note thus far, and so

291
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: we wanted Micah, Mike Zimmer, the defense as a whole

292
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: to get run on the way they did by the Saints,

293
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: run on the way they did by the Ravens. The

294
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: reason the Cowboys are in this spot. We can say, oh,

295
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 2: Jerry should have spent more in the offseason, fine, so

296
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 2: be it, But that trains left the station like there's

297
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 2: no free agency right now. There's nothing to do right

298
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 2: now as far as team building that can help you

299
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 2: go ahead.

300
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 3: What were you gonna say? Uh?

301
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 4: No, do you think Jerry Jones is protecting his co pilot,

302
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 4: his son. I think Jerry Jones said, being a good dad.

303
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I know.

304
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 2: I think Jerry calls the shots there. I don't think

305
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 2: Steven calls the shots at all. I think Jerry calls.

306
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 3: The shots there.

307
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 2: And so I think that I think that the Cowboys

308
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: are in a weird spot tonight. They're in kind of

309
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 2: monsay tonight. A can't win because if they blow the

310
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 2: Giants out, what's the narrative gonna be on Friday? What's

311
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: the Giants? They always blow them out. Last year they

312
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 2: blow them out twice. You know, no one's gonna be like, oh,

313
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 2: they're back. If they play a close game against the Giants,

314
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 2: I think doubt will start seeping into the locker room.

315
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 2: You play a close game against the Giants because the Giants,

316
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: you because you Dak is twelve and zero against the Giants.

317
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: He blew them out both times last year. And if

318
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: they lose to the Giants, they're season's over. Like let

319
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 2: me make that one clear. If you lose your third

320
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 2: straight game and it's to a team you have owned,

321
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: it will be Mike McCarthy hot seat season overtime.

322
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 3: So if they win, it's just kind.

323
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 4: Of does Jerry jonest? This would be a little lesson

324
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 4: for me. Would he wouldn't he fire McCarthy or it

325
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 4: would be somebody above him?

326
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 3: No, no, it'd be him. There's no one who Jerry

327
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 3: owns the team?

328
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, because of him, and they end up losing to

329
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 4: the Giants, it's like, oh, it's McCarthy's fault.

330
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 3: Oh, well, you know that's a good point.

331
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 2: Maybe this quote does help out McCarthy, But I think

332
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: he would be like, well, I'm the one who hired McCarthy,

333
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: I'm responsible.

334
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 3: He just wants it, you know what I mean.

335
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: And I don't think they would fire McCarthy after the

336
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 2: game if they lose tonight. I'm just saying the season.

337
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: Maybe before the end of the season. I'm not sure

338
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 2: the There will be some coaches fired during the year,

339
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: and I feel like if they lose tonight, McCarthy is

340
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: on that list. Now here's we're gonna find out how

341
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: tough the Cowboys are. The next few weeks because you're

342
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: at the Giants, who, again I don't think Giants are good,

343
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: but they do have a good defensive line and they

344
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 2: do want to run the ball, and for the first

345
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: time in Dables' time there and maybe the last couple

346
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: of coaches tenure there, they have what seems like at

347
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 2: the least competent offensive line. Then you're at the Steelers,

348
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: who want to play tough, physical, run the ball. And

349
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: then you're home for the Lions, who want to play tough, physical,

350
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: run the ball. And then you're at the Niners, who

351
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 2: the Niners can do a lot of things, but it's

352
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: all based on their running game. So you have four

353
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 2: straight games against teams that want to run the ball,

354
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 2: you have been a cartoonishly bad run defense. We're going

355
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: to find out who the Cowboys are over this next month.

356
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 2: If they lose tonight, we know who they are. And

357
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: that's a bad team, all right.

358
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 4: Next, Aaron Rodgers is coming off his best game in

359
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 4: years against the Patriots last week. That cooked my teaser.

360
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 4: It wasn't enough for you to move him up into

361
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 4: the top ten. Am Holmes Mountain, but he has a

362
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 4: rough slaate to schedule. He has a rough slade of

363
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 4: games coming up soon with Denver, Minnesota, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh.

364
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 4: Do you think he'll come out of that stretch on top?

365
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: Well, Listen, I would be Denver, I don't think he's

366
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 2: a tough game.

367
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 3: But Minnesota.

368
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,640
Speaker 2: I if I were a Jets fan, I would be

369
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 2: preemptively nervous about Minnesota. So that Brian Flores blitz heavy

370
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 2: defense that Brock Pirdy went up to him after the

371
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 2: game was like, man, that scheme is crazy.

372
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 3: That made CJ.

373
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 2: Stroud look bad for the first time, one of the

374
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 2: worst games CJ's had since he started his career last week.

375
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: Aaron did show off some mobility in Week three, and

376
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 2: I did think he played incredibly well.

377
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 3: We didn't really talk about.

378
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 2: It on the show because it was a Thursday night game,

379
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 2: so we talked about on the TV show went on

380
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: this show. I do think that Aaron played really well

381
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 2: and impressed me with his performance on Thursday. And I'm

382
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: not worried about them at all against Denver next week

383
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 2: against Minnesota, if the Jets are able to deal with that,

384
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 2: and I don't listen, I think they can win that

385
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: game because I don't fully believe in Minnesota, but I

386
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 2: am very curious how the Jets offensive line and Aaron

387
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 2: does with that Flores defense. That is, to me a

388
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 2: massive coaching mismatch Brian Flores against Nat Hackett, and I

389
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 2: want to see how that plays out. If the Jets

390
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: offense looks more than competent in that game in that spot,

391
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: then I.

392
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 3: Might reevaluate how real.

393
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: Of a team I think they are. I still think

394
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 2: they're an eight or nine win team. The I think

395
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 2: we're getting a little over our skis with how impressed

396
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: we are with them dominating the Patriots, who I believe

397
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: are gonna finish the season as a bottom three team

398
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL. And people are, I think, kind of

399
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 2: forgetting that that Titans game.

400
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 3: They looked awful in for large stretches.

401
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: But Will Levis is gonna Will Levis and give you one,

402
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 2: and that's what he did in that spot. So I

403
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 2: expect the Packer, sorry, the Jets to win this weekend.

404
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: Next week against Minnesota is a super intriguing game, and

405
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 2: I'm curious see how their offense and their offensive line

406
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 2: can deal with it. All Right, we're kind of splitting

407
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: this show up a little differently today because we did

408
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: the long Caitlin Clark thing off the top. We'll take

409
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: quick break, come back when we come back. I gotta

410
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 2: tell you, guys on the front end this, I cannot

411
00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: remember an NFL slate where there were fewer games that

412
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: I loved from a gambling perspective, Finding five games this

413
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 2: week was maybe the hardest chore I've had.

414
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 3: Since we've started doing this gambling show.

415
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 2: These are every spot where it's like, oh, I'm getting

416
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 2: a bunch of points. It's like, oh, I don't know

417
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,239
Speaker 2: what quarterbacks playing, or I know what quarterbacks playing, and

418
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 2: he's hurt. Every spot like this week's slate is absolutely brutal.

419
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 2: We try to cut through the chaff and find you

420
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 2: five winners. We'll do that next What's Right? All right,

421
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: welcome back in What's Right with Nick Wright. And before

422
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: we get to our picks for week four, let me

423
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: remind you guys. I love to travel, whether I'm heading

424
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: out for work or vacation, or maybe just want to

425
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 2: drop into Kansas City to see a game, might be

426
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 2: able to see some playoff baseball in kans City or

427
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 2: pretty soon. I'm always looking for the best places to

428
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 2: and that's why I turned to Airbnb. Anytime I stay

429
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 2: in Airbnb, I'm reminded of how great an idea it

430
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 2: is to.

431
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 3: Airbnb your home while you're away.

432
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: Maybe yourself have stayed in the airbnb before and thought,

433
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 2: you know what, I could easily turn my space into

434
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: an Airbnb. Now that football season's back, lots of fans

435
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 2: will be traveling to catch a game. You could airbnb

436
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,479
Speaker 2: your home or extra room and make some extra money

437
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: while people are in town for the game. Whether you

438
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,479
Speaker 2: use that money for tickets to go cheer on your

439
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 2: favorite team or something else, entirely, your home might be

440
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 2: worth more than you think. All right, so let's show

441
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: Deman's we had a winning week by you know, I'm.

442
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 3: Using the Royal Weei. I had a winning week, and

443
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 3: hopefully our listeners did as well.

444
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: You didn't have a losing week because you didn't text

445
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 2: me a teaser in time and I forgot your game

446
00:28:54,360 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: was on Thursday, so you were saved by my own forgetfulness.

447
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 4: The extra money. I mean, I'm losing seventy teasers stock it.

448
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, worked great.

449
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 2: So last week I went three and two, which puts

450
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 2: me at seven seven and one, So Philly plus two

451
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: and a half at New Orleans. Philly has been involved

452
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 2: either betting on or against them every week this year.

453
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: We'll see if that trend continues this week or this week.

454
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: There was a moment there where I thought that those

455
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 2: two and a half points might save me, where it

456
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 2: looked like New Orleans might win the game by one

457
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: or two. Philly ends up winning the game outright. Seattle

458
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 2: minus four and a half against Miami. That was the

459
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: one the producers tried.

460
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 3: To talk me out of, Like ah Nick, fading.

461
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: These bad quarterbacks when they're you know, backups come in

462
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 2: has hurt you, and it has in the past.

463
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 3: This time it didn't.

464
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 2: Miami scored three points all game, and it was off

465
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,719
Speaker 2: a possession where Seattle turned the ball over inside their

466
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 2: own twenty. They never could move the ball. Kansas City

467
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: minus three and a half at Atlanta. Man, there was

468
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 2: a few moments there where I thought Kansas City was

469
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: gonna win by two, where I was legit nervous that

470
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 2: because when Atlanta was driving, not at the very end

471
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: of the game, but the possession. Everyone's crying about the DPI.

472
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: There were so many ways for can City end up

473
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 2: winning by two. One was Atlanta, they're down five, they

474
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 2: kick a cowardly field goal, give the ball back to

475
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 2: Kansas City.

476
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 3: Kent City up too, gets a few.

477
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: First downs game over. The other was they score a

478
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 2: touchdown to go up one. They obviously would then go

479
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 2: for two. They missed the two point conversion. Kan City

480
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 2: goes down and kicks a field goal and win by two.

481
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: Luckily none of that happened, So there's three wins. The

482
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: loss is Chicago plus one and a half against Indy

483
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 2: just I mean getting stoned on fourth and goal with

484
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: a speedof and Caleb had some good moments in some

485
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: really tough moments. That was I don't mind that bet

486
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: and Dallas plus one against Baltimore. It looked dead in

487
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 2: the water from opening kickoff and then all of a sudden,

488
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, wait a minute, here, these guys are coming

489
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 2: the I thought I might steal a victory at the

490
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 2: end there I obviously didn't. So that was a deserving

491
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 2: three and two. Three picks that I was firmly on

492
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 2: the right side of two picks. I was firmly on

493
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: the wrong side of three and two. I'm good with

494
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: so oh and by the way, the touchdown, Genie, do

495
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: you remember who I had?

496
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 4: Yep?

497
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, she Ris plus one. All right, Demanse, let's go

498
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: to pick number one. I'm taking a page out of

499
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: your book and go on Thursday night.

500
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 4: Yes, uh so your pick one. You've got Dallas minus

501
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 4: six at the Giants.

502
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 3: Yes, Dallas minus six at the Giants tonight. So and the.

503
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: Cowboys historically crush bad teams, thirty two and fourteen against

504
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 2: the spread against teams under five hundred. Dak is twenty

505
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 2: nine and eleven against NFC East teams. Daniel Jones at

506
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 2: night is five and nine against the spread in his career.

507
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: I don't think Dallas is a great team, but I

508
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 2: also don't think they're as bad as they've looked early

509
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: this season. They've got to they Ceedee Lamb last year

510
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: top three in the league in targets, receptions, yards, touchdowns,

511
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 2: big plays, one, two or three in all of those categories.

512
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 2: This year, he's not top ten in any of them.

513
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: They have to funnel him the football, and defensively, it's

514
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 2: time for Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Mike Zimmer to

515
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 2: bow up like you're playing the Giants now. That's say

516
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: they're gonna try to run some of that same Reid

517
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: option stuff that lamar Ran that Daniel Jones likes as well.

518
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: At times you need to have learned from how bad

519
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: it was last week. This is a team the Cowboys

520
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: like to blow out and are used to blowing out.

521
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 2: I've gotta think the Cowboys defense can stand up in

522
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 2: the moment offensively if you're This is also a sneaky,

523
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: big Cowboys secondary game where you want to see can

524
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 2: you take on the challenge of not letting Thelik Neighbors

525
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: baptize you the way he has the last his opponents

526
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 2: last few weeks. Is Trayvon Diggs back to being Trayvon Diggs?

527
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 2: Can you leave him out on an island or maybe

528
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 2: you don't even have to leave them on an island

529
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 2: and give him safety help to the other Giants receivers

530
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 2: don't really scare you take him away and then don't

531
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: let Devin Singletary in the Giants run game ruin you get.

532
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 2: The Cowboys are built to play with e lead. I've

533
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 2: said it all week, I'll say it again. They're like

534
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 2: a poor man Peyton Manning Colts team star quarterback play

535
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 2: on a fast track, indoors star receiver, bookend ad rushers

536
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: get a lead, unleash the pass rush. That's what it

537
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 2: feels like tonight. Is this feels like a thirty one

538
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 2: seventeen Cowboys victory. All lay the six points with Dallas

539
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 2: next one. Well, you know what, Before we get to

540
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: the next one, I just want to say some of

541
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 2: the games that I didn't pick, and like why I

542
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 2: said this week was so tough Vikings Packers. I don't

543
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 2: know who's starting at quarterback yet, right, Is that what you.

544
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 4: Were saying, Jordan Jordan Love, Malik Willis. I was just saying, yeah,

545
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 4: I know, Jordan Love is my guy, but I got

546
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 4: I got Minnesota here and my blazing five.

547
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 3: Actually in your blazing five, Yeah, you.

548
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 4: Got to base it. Yeah, No, I'm still I'm actually

549
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 4: still leading in that through three weeks. I gotta stay.

550
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 3: Still at the office. Yeah, oh you're still leading the

551
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 3: office picks pool.

552
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, I had a bad, bad week two, but I

553
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 4: had a four and one week last week. But I'm

554
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 4: just going off of the quarterbacks that Minnesota's beaten, and

555
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 4: I don't think Jordan Love is gonna be playing. I

556
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be leaked Willis. It's gonna be two

557
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 4: good head coaches against each other. I give the edge

558
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 4: to Minnesota there, so.

559
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 2: So hold on, So have we have we made a

560
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 2: mistake in turning you into the teaser guy when you

561
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 2: should just be and against the spread.

562
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 4: I'm pretty good at straight picks. I've got two four

563
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 4: and one weeks and one two and four and one

564
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 4: four and one week or one in four week Okay

565
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 4: it was actually two and three. It was two and three.

566
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 4: My week two is two and three.

567
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 2: So you're ten and five against the spread on the

568
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 2: year and I'm seven seven and one. Oh my goodness.

569
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 2: Uh so, just so that was just s DEMONSEI. I

570
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 2: just don't feel comfortable because I'm not certain what quarterbacks playing.

571
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 2: That's a great game. Yeah, and so all right, let's

572
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 2: go to my next actual pick. Demon's a And by

573
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 2: the way, tell me now that I know that you're

574
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 2: a red hot tell me if any of these after

575
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 2: you say the game, if it's in your picks this game,

576
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 2: and which side you took if it is.

577
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 3: But go ahead.

578
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 4: Cincinnati minus four at Carolina, I've got them.

579
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have Cincinnati. Yeah, okay, so yeah, so I

580
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 2: understand they're zero and three. They're a road dog. Their

581
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 2: defense has been dreadful Carolina is not gonna look as

582
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 2: good offensively this week with Andy Dalton as they did

583
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 2: last week, and that Carolina defense really is awful, truly awful.

584
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 2: They they and they lost their best player a couple

585
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 2: weeks ago, Derek Brown for the season. And Cincinnati, despite

586
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: being owen three, has been really good since Week one.

587
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 2: On the offensive side of the ball. I mean, they

588
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: scored every time or they never punted to turn the

589
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 2: ball over. Against Washington, they did well offensively against a

590
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 2: great Chiefs defense.

591
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 3: So the fact that I.

592
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 2: Don't have to lay I laying four points on the

593
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 2: road isn't fun. But this is a break glass in

594
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 2: case of emergency, absolute season disaster if you lose this game,

595
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: if your sincy so, I don't think and Andy Dalton

596
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 2: isn't Jaden Daniels. They have already had two games on

597
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 2: their schedules so far this year that I'm sure they

598
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 2: thought were gonna be relatively easy wins, the Patriots game

599
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:56,720
Speaker 2: and Washington. They lost them. They can't fall to zen four.

600
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: They can't lose to the Patriots and the Panther in

601
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 2: the first month of the season. I think we were

602
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: gonna see more T Higgins this game Joshavas their third

603
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 2: wide receiver is really you know, stepped into a bigger

604
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: role and for the first time all year. Last week,

605
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase looked like Jamar Chase. I like Cincinnati.

606
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 4: Just is it Sam Donald or is it Andy Dalton?

607
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 4: That's the ex spangle.

608
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: Oh it's Andy Dalton, Andy Andy Dalton revenge game. I

609
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 3: mean you are right about that. This isn't Andy Dalton

610
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 3: revenge spot. Maybe I that's funny. I wasn't thinking about that,

611
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 3: but you are correct.

612
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 2: Andy Dalton hosting the team that he took the playoffs

613
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 2: all those times. But yeah, I'll take Cincinnati minus four

614
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 2: at Carolina. Burrow is a favorite. Burrow is a favorite

615
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 2: of three or more on the road. Is seven and

616
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,760
Speaker 2: three against the spread. He's twenty two and eleven against

617
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 2: the spread on the road in general or on a

618
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 2: neutral site. I like since just scored thirty points in

619
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: this game. I know for Dallas and Cincinnati, I've called

620
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 2: for high point totals, and so I like them in

621
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 2: this spot. I don't think Carolina is gonna be able

622
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 2: to break twenty. I like Cincinnati lang before.

623
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 4: Next Tampa Bay plus two versus Philly. I love this one.

624
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're on my side of it.

625
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 4: No, Yeah, I like Tampa Bay, but I stayed away

626
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 4: from it. I don't know. It's a it's a difficult one.

627
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 4: I think it could be a Philly revenge game for

628
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 4: the playoffs last year. I trust Baker, but yeah.

629
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 2: So here's the thing. Tampa's defense is really banged up. However,

630
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 2: no Aj Brown, no DeVante's I think, so Tampa can

631
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 2: really focus on Saquon Barkley. Tampa humbled a bit last week.

632
00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 2: Philly I don't think looked great all last week. I'm

633
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 2: also this is also a spot I know they got

634
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 2: the win, and good for them forgetting the win. This

635
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 2: is also the spot where I'm getting points at home

636
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 2: with an equivalent caliber team. I don't think Philly's better

637
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 2: than Tampa. I know they're not better coached, and getting

638
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 2: those two points with all the dumb shit Sirianni does

639
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 2: as fourth downs and the shooing field goals, all that stuff,

640
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 2: that those could be a very valuable two points. I

641
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 2: liked Philly last week when I thought people were overreacting

642
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 2: to the Saints.

643
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 3: I do not like Philly at all. This week.

644
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 2: I think Tampa wins outright, but also I just think

645
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 2: this is a low scoring game and a low score

646
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 2: and I know Philly's defense looked good last week, but

647
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 2: now you've got to deal with Evans and Godwin, and

648
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 2: so I think Tampa will be able to move the

649
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 2: ball somewhat through the air. And so this just feels

650
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 2: to me like a spot where I'm getting I think

651
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 2: the slightly better team at home with points Tampa plus

652
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,759
Speaker 2: two is what I'm rolling with. As far as the

653
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 2: trends go. Jalen Hurts is seven and fourteen against the

654
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 2: spread as a road favorite and one four and one

655
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 2: in his last six against the spread as a road favorite.

656
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 4: All right, Next, next, you've got Atlanta minus two and

657
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 4: a half versus New Orleans.

658
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I this says because it's in Atlanta, that

659
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: these are two equivalent teams. They're at home, they're fair

660
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 2: by two and a half. I don't think that. I

661
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 2: think Atlanta is better than New Orleans. New Orleans all now,

662
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 2: both offensive lines are banged up, but I think that

663
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 2: is more damaging to New Orleans than it is for Atlanta.

664
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 2: Derek Carr, the moment you pressure him, goes quick pumpkin mode.

665
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: New Orleans came back down to Earth last week a bit. Atlanta,

666
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: on the other hand, had this brutal early part of

667
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 2: their schedule. Everyone knew that this was that the early

668
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 2: part of their schedule was the toughest part. They had Steelers, Eagles, Chiefs.

669
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 2: They escaped one and two. They really only looked terrible

670
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 2: in Week one. They obviously could have won last week

671
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 2: against the Chiefs. Now they get another home game against

672
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 2: their arch rival New Orleans. New Orleans is coming off

673
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 2: a tough law. They're both coming off tough losses. Atlanta,

674
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 2: their center.

675
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 4: Lost to a real team.

676
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 2: Exactly right, No, no, no, exactly right. And I thought Atlanta

677
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 2: also looked better throughout that game than New Orleans looked

678
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: in the Philly game. And so that Philly game, to me,

679
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 2: it was close early on, in large part because of

680
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 2: Sirianni's bad game management. So I think Atlanta's better than

681
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 2: New Orleans. I still think Atlanta's going to win this division.

682
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 2: This is a game Atlanta's got to have. This feels

683
00:42:56,560 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 2: like a twenty four to twenty at Lanta win.

684
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 3: I'm only laying two and a half.

685
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 2: I'll take it Atlanta minus two and a half. And

686
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 2: this next one is painful for me, But go ahead.

687
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 4: You've got the Rams plus three at Chicago. Fade and Caleb.

688
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, listen, I'm hoping for a twenty one to

689
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 2: twenty Chicago win and I get the cover.

690
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 3: But this is right.

691
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 2: And I know the Rams are banged up. I understand that,

692
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 2: but this is I am getting three points, and I

693
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 2: have on my side the two most important things, and

694
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 2: one of them's by a massive margin. I have the

695
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 2: better quarterback, and I love Caleb, and things is gonna

696
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 2: be excellent, but he's not better than Matt Stafford right now.

697
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 2: And I have what appears to be at the moment

698
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 2: as big of a coaching mismatch as there is in

699
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 2: this league, which is Sean McVeigh and Matty Eberflus. And

700
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 2: so I I have not been impressed by Chicago's coaching

701
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 2: this year. I certainly haven't been impressed by their running game.

702
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 2: Caleb's a rookie quarterback. I'm getting three points for a

703
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 2: Rams team that has to feel like, man, we just

704
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 2: saved our season last week.

705
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 3: Can we go to Chicago and steal one?

706
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 2: I Again, my hope is a one point Chicago victory,

707
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 2: but it would not shock me if the Rams win

708
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 2: this game out right. I wouldn't hate to be wrong

709
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 2: about this pick, because then it means Caleb got cooking,

710
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 2: which is good for me. This is I mean, it's

711
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 2: a little embarrassing to say right now, but it is

712
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 2: the truth. This is the matchup that I predicted for

713
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 2: the NFC Championship game. Rams Bears, both sitting at one

714
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 2: and two, neither looking like NFC Championship contenders yet. But

715
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 2: you know what, it's early in the season. So I've

716
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 2: got the Rams plus three at chicag by the and

717
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 2: the Rams are.

718
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 3: Hold on.

719
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 2: Let me read this right, team now, this is not good.

720
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 2: Teams are eleven and twenty five the week after facing

721
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 2: San Francisco last three seasons. Yeah, but San Francisco is

722
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 2: not as big and physical as they were defensively the

723
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 2: last few years. All right, So my five picks for

724
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 2: the week three favorites two dogs laying six with Dallas

725
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 2: at the Giants. That goes against a lot of trains.

726
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 2: I understand it's a divisional road favorite. Short week, big number,

727
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 2: don't care. Cincinnati minus four at Carolina, Tampa plus two

728
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 2: against Philly. Atlanta minus two and a half home for

729
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,359
Speaker 2: New Orleans and the Rams plus three at Chicago. All right,

730
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 2: at this point, you guys probably know. But Demonse's teaser

731
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 2: lost last week, lost on Thursday. You almost got a

732
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: fraudulent push at the end. Yeah, I mean, I mean

733
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 2: they put in Drake May, they start throwing the ball,

734
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 2: they get the they're down twenty one, you need fourteen.

735
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 2: They get the ball inside the ten and they just

736
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 2: let the clock run out. I mean, that was a

737
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 2: painful one. I'm not gonna lie to you. You were

738
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 2: on the right side of Baltimore. So what are we

739
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 2: doing this week?

740
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 3: Demansey?

741
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 4: So we've got another two teams seven point teaser. We're

742
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 4: gonna lose the half point. It's gonna be sitting at

743
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 4: minus one point fifty. We're teasing Tampa Bay from plus

744
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 4: two up to plus nine versus Philly like it and

745
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 4: all right, So there's a little little thing here. So

746
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 4: if Herbert plays, I want the Chargers plus fourteen and

747
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 4: a half versus Kansas City. If Herbert does not play,

748
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 4: I want Kansas City. Basically I have to pick him.

749
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 4: I'm teasing them down to zero point five or something

750
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:44,479
Speaker 4: like that.

751
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 3: All right, So here's the problem here.

752
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 4: We thought there might have been a problems and.

753
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 2: I hate to say it, but I can't allow this. Well,

754
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:00,919
Speaker 2: once they give Herbert an official designation, this will move.

755
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 2: So if you want to lock in the fourteen and

756
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: a half, now, are you saying you'll just take it

757
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 2: at what after the number is a kickoff?

758
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 4: Well, I feel like what the number is right now

759
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 4: is fourteen and a half. It's so like I feel

760
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 4: like that's the number. Like but yeah, I mean if

761
00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 4: he doesn't play though, like it's.

762
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 2: I understand, but you get what I do, right, But

763
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 2: here's here's what I'm trying to tell you. I don't

764
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 2: know what Vegas thinks is going to happen. It seems

765
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 2: like this is priced as if he's not playing, okay,

766
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: but if they announce he is playing, that fourteen and

767
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 2: a half will not be available to you once it's announced,

768
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,760
Speaker 2: because they won't be seven and a half point dogs anymore.

769
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 3: They'll be like four and a half point dogs at.

770
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 4: That point and that and sense, yeah, I would be

771
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 4: willing to tease them up to eleven and a half,

772
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 4: all right, So this is this is this will all do?

773
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 4: I would tease them, but that the Herbert situation, it's

774
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 4: it's wonky I'm just gonna tease the Niners down, and

775
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 4: they're England in the New England game to like ten

776
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,760
Speaker 4: and a half to like three and a half. They're playing.

777
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 2: No, I'm no, no, no, no, I didn't want to

778
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 2: talk you off your game.

779
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 3: It's not what I wanted to do.

780
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: And then you're so because then I'm gonna get I

781
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 2: just want you right, like, here's the question.

782
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 4: You want me to commit to something? Ahead?

783
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 3: Right right, And here's the question I have for you.

784
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 2: Even if Justin Herbert plays, do you think the Chargers

785
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 2: are beating the Chiefs?

786
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 4: No?

787
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 3: Okay, so just.

788
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 4: Right, so you said, whatever line it is, I just

789
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 4: tease the Chiefs down.

790
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 2: No, just right now, just lock it in. You're Tampa

791
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 2: plus nine the Chiefs to a pick them. It's a

792
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 2: great tease. It's an A plus teas. You're getting Tampa

793
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 2: three key numbers. You're getting the best team in the

794
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 2: league against an incredibly injured Charger team just to win.

795
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 3: Just call that your teaser. Are you okay with that?

796
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 3: Or do you feel like I'm pushing you and he's

797
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 3: not enough?

798
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 4: No, it's it's I'm fine with I'm fine with teasing

799
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 4: him to a pick him. Yeah, and if he doesn't pay,

800
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 4: I don't know what's gonna happen.

801
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 2: So the worry is that they announced he doesn't play,

802
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 2: and the Chiefs become bigger favorites, and you're not getting

803
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 2: them out of pick him anymore. You're getting them at

804
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 2: a bigger number. So he's got Tampa plus nine Kansas

805
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 2: City minus half point. We're gonna give that an A plus.

806
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 2: I I it's so funny, Deman say, I had something

807
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 2: going on this morning, so I couldn't I was gonna

808
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 2: text you. My teaser advice this week is very simple.

809
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 2: Find an underdog that you think can win outright and

810
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 2: pair them with.

811
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 3: The Chiefs teased down. And I think that's what you

812
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 3: ended up doing.

813
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 4: Exactly. Do you think.

814
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 3: Tampa can win out right at plus two and.

815
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 4: Your honestly don't even think Philly should be favored in

816
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:06,319
Speaker 4: that game?

817
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 2: But right, but I agree with I mean, I agree

818
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 2: with you in Tampa. I don't think they should either.

819
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 2: All right, what's the offer this week?

820
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 4: So the week four offer is called Iron sharpens Iron.

821
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 4: Two of your guys, Caleb and Stafford, as we just

822
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 4: talked about, face off this week. Let's see if they

823
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 4: bring the best out of each other, Caleb Williams and

824
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,919
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford to both pass for two to twenty five

825
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 4: plus yards and two plus touchdowns at plus seven point fifty.

826
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 2: It's not enough odds, that's not a good enough number.

827
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 2: I'd love for that to happen, and I apologize. I mean,

828
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 2: that's a good offer from the producers as far as

829
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 2: what I'm rooting for. But then both the throw for

830
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 2: two and a quarter and both to throw two touchdowns.

831
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 2: How many games have we had in the NFL all

832
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 2: year where both quarterbacks threw over two twenty five and

833
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:01,280

834
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,399

839
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 2: one bet, not a seven and a half to one bet.

840
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 2: So I have to politely decline that offer. I apologize.

841
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 2: I know people put a lot of work into those offers,

842
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:26,680
