0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Welcome in, We'll drive in the great episode two sixty

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 2>six hour Week four gambling show. There's a Cowboys game tonight.

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>There's a ton of football to get to. However, we're

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 2>not going to start in any of those places. Uh,

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 2>let's quickly get to what is not going to be

0:00:56.760 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 2>on the show today? Not on the show today. Travis Kelsey, Well,

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 2>he actually kind of will be on the show, but

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 2>him saying he's been playing like trash Lebron on broadcasting,

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 2>saying he'll see I'll take the under on Lebron broadcasting

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 2>jobs in his future for any company he doesn't own,

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>and shoey Otani's fifty to fifty home run ball is

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 2>headed to auction. However, here's the deal and Demons's here.

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Of course he's here. We'll go over betts and topics

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 2>and do a ton with him. He'll give out, hopefully

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:32.119
<v Speaker 2>a winning teaser. We gotta at some point have one

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.320
<v Speaker 2>of those. I had a winning week last week. Demonse's

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>teaser died on Thursday Night football before we even got

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 2>to the weekend, which is a sad, sad thing when

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 2>it's like you don't even have the Sunday games to

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 2>look forward to from a gambling perspective. But we can't

0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 2>start in any of those places. And I would ask

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>the producers, you can put a ten minute clock on

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 2>me on this, and I'm gonna try to stay true

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:01.440
<v Speaker 2>to it because I also want the full ten minutes

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 2>that we do here to be posted to all of

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 2>our feeds. I think ten minutes is the most anyone

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 2>will ever watch anything on the internet as a clip.

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>It's probably a little long, but I'm gonna try to

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 2>keep to it because I saw tweet last night and

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.520
<v Speaker 2>then I followed up to make sure it wasn't fake.

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 2>And it's not. And it absolutely enraged me, and I

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 2>was like, you know what, let's just do it. So

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 2>if we can show Caitlin Clark's season ended last night

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 2>and the WNBA playoffs have been phenomenal, and it looks

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 2>like my team that we said was gonna threepeat, I'm

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>big on three peats this year, Las Vegas Aces and

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.519
<v Speaker 2>Asia Wilson. Despite a mediocre regular season, I think they're

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna win the championship. Caitlin Clark, after a little rocky

0:02:55.320 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 2>start to the year, ended up actually exceeding expectation. This

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.920
<v Speaker 2>clearcut top ten player in the league, already arguably top

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 2>five player in the league, already got the team to

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. But none of that is the story, and

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 2>none of that is the story for me right now,

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 2>because this mediocre, unimpressive grown woman decided she was gonna

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 2>wear this outfit looking like this to a basketball game.

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:30.639
<v Speaker 2>And if you can't see it, says ban nails, and

0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 2>she has long fake nails on her fingers, mocking Djon

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 2>A Carrington. Djon A Carrington, who plays for the Connecticut

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Son who was interrogated all week because when she swiped

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 2>for the ball she hit Caitlyn Clark in the eye.

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Forget the fact that Caitlyn knew it was unintentional. Everyone

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 2>watching seem to think was unintentional. The goddamn Internet decided

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 2>maybe it was intentional, and it became the story. And

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 2>if you sense anger in my voice, it's because it's there.

0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Because race in this country is a rubber band, y'all.

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 2>And when one side stretches, the other side gets a

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 2>little more tense. And then when one side snaps back,

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 2>the other side feels the reaction to it. And fortunately,

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 2>by some miracle, our country's racial rubber band hasn't actually

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 2>fully snapped in one hundred and sixty years. But every

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 2>time it's stretched and every time there's pressure on it,

0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 2>it's not quite the same. It's frayed a bit, it's

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:59.279
<v Speaker 2>distorted a bit, and it's a little bit weaker. Moving forward,

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 2>and here is what has happened over what should have

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 2>been the greatest season in women's professional basketball history.

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 3>You got this boatload.

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Of new fans because Caitlyn Clerk is box office, right,

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.719
<v Speaker 2>and the rest of the rookie class is very impressive.

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Caitlyn Clerk is box office. But unfortunately, and inevitably and

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 2>the league should have seen this train coming down the tracks.

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 2>On that bandwagon were folks that weren't fans of basketball,

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:48.920
<v Speaker 2>that weren't even actual fans of Caitlyn Clark. They were

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:54.159
<v Speaker 2>fans of what they thought Caitlyn could represent, which was

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:55.799
<v Speaker 2>the humbling of black women.

0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:58.839
<v Speaker 3>And you got this.

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:09.359
<v Speaker 2>Cavalcade of open, unabashed racists who tried to put a

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 2>hood of Caitlin Clark fandom on and on social internet,

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 2>and last night in person, tried their.

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 3>Best to terrorize her opposition.

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 2>And while I have said I think it'd be better

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 2>for everyone not to read their social media feeds, that's

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:33.239
<v Speaker 2>easier said than done.

0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.720
<v Speaker 3>And de Jena got a.

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Damn email from somebody saying basically, hope you die.

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 3>And like I said, it's a rubber band.

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:51.040
<v Speaker 2>And so what happens when it gets as bad as

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:55.760
<v Speaker 2>it got as it has gotten and the other side

0:06:55.800 --> 0:07:00.160
<v Speaker 2>gets tenser than all of a sudden you have folk

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>who are.

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:06.719
<v Speaker 3>Seeing this happen, seeing this big.

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Tent now has a corner of the tent occupied by

0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 2>figurative torch wielding racists, and they are they almost as

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>a defense mechanism, start to minimize the actual on court

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:34.040
<v Speaker 2>impact of Caitlyn Clark as like a protectionism. And then

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 2>the folks that weren't the torch wielding racists and were

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 2>just enjoying the basketball they see, well, hold on, there's

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 2>a lot of women who cover this league, majority of

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:52.880
<v Speaker 2>which black women, seem to be downplaying or hating on,

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 2>or dismissing Caitlyn.

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 3>And then they get upset.

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 2>And now everyone on the road upper band is their

0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 2>hair is up, they're defensive. They're not actually able to

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 2>give at all times their full honest opinion of what

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:16.360
<v Speaker 2>they're seeing on the basketball court because the goddamn racist

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:17.640
<v Speaker 2>ruined it for all of us.

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 3>And that.

0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Is a tale as old as time for so many things,

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:31.720
<v Speaker 2>multi cultural events in this country that could be great,

0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 2>and the goddamn racist ruin it for us. And now

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:42.680
<v Speaker 2>people get tribal and defensive and kind of illogical and

0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 2>all of it. And we have now reached a point

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:55.719
<v Speaker 2>where and I apologize because she didn't ask for this,

0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 2>but it is incumbent upon on Caitlyn herself to be

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 2>more vocal in shouting this down. When asked, she has

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:12.559
<v Speaker 2>given the right answers, and she didn't ask for any

0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 2>of this.

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.800
<v Speaker 3>She's a kid, thrust.

0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Into superstardom by her own athletic brilliance, and she is

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:28.600
<v Speaker 2>not accountable for the actions of her fans. However, this

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 2>is a massive moment for her sports and her league,

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 2>and you need people other than the people being victimized

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:44.400
<v Speaker 2>by these trash human beings to put up a wall

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:51.800
<v Speaker 2>against it. So I think Caitlyn needs to be more proactive.

0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I know Kathy Engelbert and the WNBA do that woman

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:02.119
<v Speaker 2>should not have been a lowed to remain in the stadium.

0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 2>That is an openly racist, defiant act. Somebody else tweeted, like,

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I've been a never been in a WNBA game before

0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 2>where there were so many where there were maga hats.

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 2>You can wear your maga hats. That's you're making a

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 2>political statement, no problem. Now, it's an intentionally provocative political

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 2>political statement, just like wearing a Harris Waltz hat to

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 2>a NASCAR event would be. You know, the general demographic

0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.440
<v Speaker 2>of the population you're walking into, but you're doing it

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.800
<v Speaker 2>to make a statement, no problem. You're you're you know,

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to get a rise out of people. That's

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 2>everyone's right. That shit that woman did that she felt

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:46.040
<v Speaker 2>comfortable doing, going by the way, not in the Indiana

0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:52.679
<v Speaker 2>Fever stadium as an opposing team fan, was the visual

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 2>representation of what these women in the league have been

0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 2>saying we've been dealing with all year. It's not actual

0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Indiana Fever fans. It's not actual Caitlin Clark fans.

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 3>It is.

0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 2>People that want to see black women humbled, that are

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:20.040
<v Speaker 2>using Caitlin as an avatar for their own perverse hopes

0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 2>and desires. And at this point there needs to be

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:32.720
<v Speaker 2>a full fronted assault against it, because this rubber band

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 2>man can only stretch so damn far, and it is

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 2>putting great Monica McNutt Andrea Carter, people that have been

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 2>are great journalists, great commentators, are consistently put in this

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 2>awful position where because the racists have spoiled the well

0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 2>for everyone they I would imagine I even spoken with them,

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 2>and I don't want to speak for them, but I

0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:09.559
<v Speaker 2>would imagine they feel at times almost an obligation to

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:20.440
<v Speaker 2>not only promote other players, but to try to balance

0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 2>the scales on an on court perspective. When from an

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 2>on court perspective, in my opinion, there's two overwhelming players

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 2>this year, Asia Wilson and Caitlin Clark doesn't mean she's

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.920
<v Speaker 2>second best player, but it means given the story that

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:47.280
<v Speaker 2>her being a rookie, her performance, all of it. And

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:54.400
<v Speaker 2>I understand and I empathize with the because of the

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:58.160
<v Speaker 2>toxicity of the rest of it, wanting to kind of

0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 2>bump up Angel or bump up other players. And Djena

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:04.680
<v Speaker 2>just one most im breve players.

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 3>He's a great player.

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.040
<v Speaker 2>But we haven't even been able to have a truly

0:13:10.280 --> 0:13:17.079
<v Speaker 2>honest basketball discussion most of the year. And it's because

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 2>the wrong people stumbled upon the party. And now it's

0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:26.080
<v Speaker 2>up to everyone, even folks that didn't invite them and

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:32.560
<v Speaker 2>didn't want them there, to help kick them out, even

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 2>if though even if the people were kicking out are saying,

0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 2>but wait, we're here to see you, we support you,

0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:43.800
<v Speaker 2>we're adding eyeballs, we're paying the entry fee, doesn't matter.

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.439
<v Speaker 3>All money ain't good money.

0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:52.839
<v Speaker 2>And that shit last night was repugnant and repulsive and

0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 2>it's infuriating. And I'd love to be able to sit

0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 2>here and tell you a basketball story about the season,

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:06.439
<v Speaker 2>but I can't because that's not the story of the season. Sadly,

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the greatest season in WNBA history, arguably the biggest story

0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 2>actually wasn't about the basketball and the league leadership, and

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 2>it's star players across the board, including Caitlin, need to

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 2>stand up against it. We'll talk football next quick break,

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 2>right back, What's right?

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 3>All right?

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back in What's driving Nick Right? Week four Gambling Show.

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 2>We'll get to the picks in the next segment. We

0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of had a weird first segment. Also, by the way,

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:50.240
<v Speaker 2>for just our producers. I'm not sure if I'm seeing

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.400
<v Speaker 2>the right box. I'm just seeing myself by myself. There's

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.560
<v Speaker 2>no rundown or time or anything. Maybe there's not supposed

0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 2>to be. I'm not sure the demanse split screen is

0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:00.160
<v Speaker 2>in the is in the kind of box beneath what

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing.

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 3>But that's fine.

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Demon's welcome in. Good to see you. Sorry for leaving

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 2>you out there.

0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 3>I had something to get off my chest.

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Just imagine being that fucking mediocre of a grown woman

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:14.200
<v Speaker 2>and being.

0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 3>Like, this is what I what'd you do last night?

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 3>I went to a PTA meeting. What did you do

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:18.160
<v Speaker 3>last night?

0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 3>I went to the theater with my friends. What did

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:21.160
<v Speaker 3>you do last night?

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 2>I made cardboard nails to go try to mock someone

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 2>who could be my daughter's age because cause I pretend

0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 2>to like this basketball player. Go ahead, what are we doing,

0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Bill's Ravens. Where are we starting the show?

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 4>We are starting off with Bill's Ravens. Yeah, Baltimore may

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 4>have took care of business in Dallas last week, but

0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 4>they've got some more difficult business to take care of

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:44.240
<v Speaker 4>this week against the Bills, who were coming to town

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:48.360
<v Speaker 4>looking for their September championship. This game could have real

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 4>playoff ripple effects and is bound to shake up the

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 4>power rankings. So who has more to prove here? Bills

0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 4>are Ravens?

0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:00.600
<v Speaker 2>I think the Ravens. Well, the Ravens have more to lose,

0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 2>that's for sure, But you asked more to prove The

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Ravens have more to lose because they're one and two

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 2>and they still need to keep stacking wins. I I

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 2>actually think more to prove, pardon me, is Buffalo only

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:24.440
<v Speaker 2>because of this Now, Buffalo has been wildly impressive, wildly impressive,

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 2>but they also if they like, let's play out the

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:36.800
<v Speaker 2>theoretical of the Ravens beat them soundly, then all of

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.160
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, folks are gonna be like, Okay, So Buffalo

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.880
<v Speaker 2>escaped with a win against Arizona and you know, to

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.880
<v Speaker 2>the benefit of a huge missed defensive pass interference call

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 2>at the very end. But of course that was not

0:16:51.240 --> 0:16:54.560
<v Speaker 2>a storyline anywhere, because mist calls are only a storyline

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.280
<v Speaker 2>if they help the Kansas City Chiefs, not if any

0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.920
<v Speaker 2>other team. People probably don't even know what I'm talking about.

0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 2>But go watch the end of the raven of the

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.679
<v Speaker 2>Bills Cardinals game, and then they beat the Dolphins in

0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 2>the game two. It got rocked, and people think the

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins aren't that good, and then the Jags, who are

0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 2>a winless team again, I think the Bills are excellent.

0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm simply saying if they in their first game against

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:22.280
<v Speaker 2>a team that right now people think is a playoff team,

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:25.320
<v Speaker 2>they get beat, then all of a sudden some of

0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the doubt will creep in. I think despite their record,

0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:34.760
<v Speaker 2>everyone acknowledges the Ravens are good. The Ravens almost had

0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:38.200
<v Speaker 2>a ten point fourth quarter comeback against the Chiefs. They

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.720
<v Speaker 2>controlled the Raiders game the whole way and then blew

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 2>it oddly and dominated the Cowboys for three quarters and

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:49.760
<v Speaker 2>then almost blew it oddly. What the Ravens need to

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:53.719
<v Speaker 2>prove and there's a weird one if they get a

0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:58.679
<v Speaker 2>big lead, is that they can hold it. Like I

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:02.040
<v Speaker 2>don't think anyone doubts that the Ravens can look awesome.

0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.679
<v Speaker 2>They looked awesome all of last year, and they have

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 2>looked awesome for sections of this year. They have just

0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:13.640
<v Speaker 2>they played an A level fourth quarter against the Chiefs

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.960
<v Speaker 2>and then an F fourth quarter against the Raiders and

0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:21.360
<v Speaker 2>an F fourth quarter against the Cowboys, so that they're

0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 2>in a different spot. But I do think right now

0:18:24.840 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 2>I would say after Kansas City that I would power

0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.119
<v Speaker 2>rank which I don't like to do, but if I

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 2>were to do it, I would power rank the AFC

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City, Buffalo, Baltimore. That's how I see it in

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:41.720
<v Speaker 2>this very moment, all right, Next?

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh okay, that was quick. Yeah, So Dallas is playing

0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:48.680
<v Speaker 4>the Giants tonight. That should be a give me huh

0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 4>over A seventy five percent of Cowboys fans are blaming

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.960
<v Speaker 4>Jerry Jones for the Dallas struggles in the first few weeks.

0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:59.200
<v Speaker 4>He actually took full ownership of it. Jerry got them

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.359
<v Speaker 4>into this mess. But do you think there's anything that

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 4>Jerry can do himself to get them out?

0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:05.720
<v Speaker 3>No, there's nothing he can do.

0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 2>And I listen, Jerry took ownership of it, Demansey because

0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:14.600
<v Speaker 2>he wants ownership of the credit if it gets turned around,

0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:18.600
<v Speaker 2>like Jerry wants all things Cowboys to be about Jerry.

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 2>So he'll happily take all the blame because he wants

0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:26.440
<v Speaker 2>all the credits get going exactly right, if things get

0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:30.960
<v Speaker 2>going in the right direction. Uh No, the I place

0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:34.840
<v Speaker 2>the majority of the blame actually on if I have

0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 2>to pick one individual, this is gonna sound unfair, but

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.240
<v Speaker 2>if I have to pick one individual, I pick Michael Parks.

0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:44.600
<v Speaker 3>It's yes, it's bigger than him.

0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:48.920
<v Speaker 2>But the problem has been their defense, and he's supposed

0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:54.200
<v Speaker 2>to arguably be the best defensive player in the entire sport,

0:19:54.720 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 2>and the Cowboys defense has been dreadful this season. Micah

0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 2>has done had nothing of note thus far, and so

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:10.000
<v Speaker 2>we wanted Micah, Mike Zimmer, the defense as a whole

0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:14.040
<v Speaker 2>to get run on the way they did by the Saints,

0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.280
<v Speaker 2>run on the way they did by the Ravens. The

0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.560
<v Speaker 2>reason the Cowboys are in this spot. We can say, oh,

0:20:20.640 --> 0:20:23.320
<v Speaker 2>Jerry should have spent more in the offseason, fine, so

0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:28.160
<v Speaker 2>be it, But that trains left the station like there's

0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:31.600
<v Speaker 2>no free agency right now. There's nothing to do right

0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:35.040
<v Speaker 2>now as far as team building that can help you

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:35.440
<v Speaker 2>go ahead.

0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 3>What were you gonna say? Uh?

0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:40.119
<v Speaker 4>No, do you think Jerry Jones is protecting his co pilot,

0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.359
<v Speaker 4>his son. I think Jerry Jones said, being a good dad.

0:20:44.240 --> 0:20:45.639
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, I know.

0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:48.760
<v Speaker 2>I think Jerry calls the shots there. I don't think

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Steven calls the shots at all. I think Jerry calls.

0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:52.640
<v Speaker 3>The shots there.

0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:56.720
<v Speaker 2>And so I think that I think that the Cowboys

0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:59.800
<v Speaker 2>are in a weird spot tonight. They're in kind of

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:05.560
<v Speaker 2>monsay tonight. A can't win because if they blow the

0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Giants out, what's the narrative gonna be on Friday? What's

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 2>the Giants? They always blow them out. Last year they

0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:14.479
<v Speaker 2>blow them out twice. You know, no one's gonna be like, oh,

0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 2>they're back. If they play a close game against the Giants,

0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I think doubt will start seeping into the locker room.

0:21:22.600 --> 0:21:26.080
<v Speaker 2>You play a close game against the Giants because the Giants,

0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:29.600
<v Speaker 2>you because you Dak is twelve and zero against the Giants.

0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:32.359
<v Speaker 2>He blew them out both times last year. And if

0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:36.399
<v Speaker 2>they lose to the Giants, they're season's over. Like let

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.520
<v Speaker 2>me make that one clear. If you lose your third

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:42.680
<v Speaker 2>straight game and it's to a team you have owned,

0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:47.760
<v Speaker 2>it will be Mike McCarthy hot seat season overtime.

0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.440
<v Speaker 3>So if they win, it's just kind.

0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:55.480
<v Speaker 4>Of does Jerry jonest? This would be a little lesson

0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:58.720
<v Speaker 4>for me. Would he wouldn't he fire McCarthy or it

0:21:58.720 --> 0:21:59.920
<v Speaker 4>would be somebody above him?

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.159
<v Speaker 3>No, no, it'd be him. There's no one who Jerry

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:03.920
<v Speaker 3>owns the team?

0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:08.879
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because of him, and they end up losing to

0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:11.080
<v Speaker 4>the Giants, it's like, oh, it's McCarthy's fault.

0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:12.919
<v Speaker 3>Oh, well, you know that's a good point.

0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:16.639
<v Speaker 2>Maybe this quote does help out McCarthy, But I think

0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:18.800
<v Speaker 2>he would be like, well, I'm the one who hired McCarthy,

0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm responsible.

0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:20.800
<v Speaker 3>He just wants it, you know what I mean.

0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:25.520
<v Speaker 2>And I don't think they would fire McCarthy after the

0:22:25.600 --> 0:22:29.439
<v Speaker 2>game if they lose tonight. I'm just saying the season.

0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Maybe before the end of the season. I'm not sure

0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:38.600
<v Speaker 2>the There will be some coaches fired during the year,

0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:43.560
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like if they lose tonight, McCarthy is

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:48.000
<v Speaker 2>on that list. Now here's we're gonna find out how

0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 2>tough the Cowboys are. The next few weeks because you're

0:22:52.880 --> 0:22:56.840
<v Speaker 2>at the Giants, who, again I don't think Giants are good,

0:22:57.040 --> 0:22:59.600
<v Speaker 2>but they do have a good defensive line and they

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:01.919
<v Speaker 2>do want to run the ball, and for the first

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 2>time in Dables' time there and maybe the last couple

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.040
<v Speaker 2>of coaches tenure there, they have what seems like at

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:13.199
<v Speaker 2>the least competent offensive line. Then you're at the Steelers,

0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:17.800
<v Speaker 2>who want to play tough, physical, run the ball. And

0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:21.960
<v Speaker 2>then you're home for the Lions, who want to play tough, physical,

0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:25.840
<v Speaker 2>run the ball. And then you're at the Niners, who

0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:27.920
<v Speaker 2>the Niners can do a lot of things, but it's

0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:30.480
<v Speaker 2>all based on their running game. So you have four

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:34.359
<v Speaker 2>straight games against teams that want to run the ball,

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:39.560
<v Speaker 2>you have been a cartoonishly bad run defense. We're going

0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:43.560
<v Speaker 2>to find out who the Cowboys are over this next month.

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:47.640
<v Speaker 2>If they lose tonight, we know who they are. And

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 2>that's a bad team, all right.

0:23:49.560 --> 0:23:53.399
<v Speaker 4>Next, Aaron Rodgers is coming off his best game in

0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:56.440
<v Speaker 4>years against the Patriots last week. That cooked my teaser.

0:23:57.119 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't enough for you to move him up into

0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:02.720
<v Speaker 4>the top ten. Am Holmes Mountain, but he has a

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:04.560
<v Speaker 4>rough slaate to schedule. He has a rough slade of

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:08.800
<v Speaker 4>games coming up soon with Denver, Minnesota, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh.

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:10.920
<v Speaker 4>Do you think he'll come out of that stretch on top?

0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, Listen, I would be Denver, I don't think he's

0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:17.200
<v Speaker 2>a tough game.

0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:18.480
<v Speaker 3>But Minnesota.

0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:22.640
<v Speaker 2>I if I were a Jets fan, I would be

0:24:23.560 --> 0:24:32.280
<v Speaker 2>preemptively nervous about Minnesota. So that Brian Flores blitz heavy

0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:36.280
<v Speaker 2>defense that Brock Pirdy went up to him after the

0:24:36.320 --> 0:24:38.200
<v Speaker 2>game was like, man, that scheme is crazy.

0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:39.399
<v Speaker 3>That made CJ.

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:43.119
<v Speaker 2>Stroud look bad for the first time, one of the

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:47.359
<v Speaker 2>worst games CJ's had since he started his career last week.

0:24:48.920 --> 0:24:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Aaron did show off some mobility in Week three, and

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I did think he played incredibly well.

0:24:57.720 --> 0:24:58.960
<v Speaker 3>We didn't really talk about.

0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:00.600
<v Speaker 2>It on the show because it was a Thursday night game,

0:25:00.920 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 2>so we talked about on the TV show went on

0:25:02.680 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 2>this show. I do think that Aaron played really well

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:10.120
<v Speaker 2>and impressed me with his performance on Thursday. And I'm

0:25:10.160 --> 0:25:14.240
<v Speaker 2>not worried about them at all against Denver next week

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:20.640
<v Speaker 2>against Minnesota, if the Jets are able to deal with that,

0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:22.399
<v Speaker 2>and I don't listen, I think they can win that

0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 2>game because I don't fully believe in Minnesota, but I

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:30.240
<v Speaker 2>am very curious how the Jets offensive line and Aaron

0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:33.959
<v Speaker 2>does with that Flores defense. That is, to me a

0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:39.399
<v Speaker 2>massive coaching mismatch Brian Flores against Nat Hackett, and I

0:25:39.480 --> 0:25:42.400
<v Speaker 2>want to see how that plays out. If the Jets

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:49.240
<v Speaker 2>offense looks more than competent in that game in that spot,

0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:51.000
<v Speaker 2>then I.

0:25:51.040 --> 0:25:53.679
<v Speaker 3>Might reevaluate how real.

0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Of a team I think they are. I still think

0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:59.480
<v Speaker 2>they're an eight or nine win team. The I think

0:25:59.480 --> 0:26:02.919
<v Speaker 2>we're getting a little over our skis with how impressed

0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:06.560
<v Speaker 2>we are with them dominating the Patriots, who I believe

0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 2>are gonna finish the season as a bottom three team

0:26:08.880 --> 0:26:13.240
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL. And people are, I think, kind of

0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:15.440
<v Speaker 2>forgetting that that Titans game.

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:18.560
<v Speaker 3>They looked awful in for large stretches.

0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 2>But Will Levis is gonna Will Levis and give you one,

0:26:21.760 --> 0:26:25.119
<v Speaker 2>and that's what he did in that spot. So I

0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:29.359
<v Speaker 2>expect the Packer, sorry, the Jets to win this weekend.

0:26:30.080 --> 0:26:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Next week against Minnesota is a super intriguing game, and

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:39.639
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious see how their offense and their offensive line

0:26:39.960 --> 0:26:42.600
<v Speaker 2>can deal with it. All Right, we're kind of splitting

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 2>this show up a little differently today because we did

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:46.800
<v Speaker 2>the long Caitlin Clark thing off the top. We'll take

0:26:46.880 --> 0:26:51.240
<v Speaker 2>quick break, come back when we come back. I gotta

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:55.159
<v Speaker 2>tell you, guys on the front end this, I cannot

0:26:55.320 --> 0:27:01.800
<v Speaker 2>remember an NFL slate where there were fewer games that

0:27:01.920 --> 0:27:06.920
<v Speaker 2>I loved from a gambling perspective, Finding five games this

0:27:07.000 --> 0:27:11.960
<v Speaker 2>week was maybe the hardest chore I've had.

0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:13.720
<v Speaker 3>Since we've started doing this gambling show.

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:18.080
<v Speaker 2>These are every spot where it's like, oh, I'm getting

0:27:18.080 --> 0:27:20.639
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of points. It's like, oh, I don't know

0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:24.239
<v Speaker 2>what quarterbacks playing, or I know what quarterbacks playing, and

0:27:24.280 --> 0:27:29.920
<v Speaker 2>he's hurt. Every spot like this week's slate is absolutely brutal.

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:33.720
<v Speaker 2>We try to cut through the chaff and find you

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:42.000
<v Speaker 2>five winners. We'll do that next What's Right? All right,

0:27:42.040 --> 0:27:44.800
<v Speaker 2>welcome back in What's Right with Nick Wright. And before

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 2>we get to our picks for week four, let me

0:27:46.840 --> 0:27:49.520
<v Speaker 2>remind you guys. I love to travel, whether I'm heading

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:51.800
<v Speaker 2>out for work or vacation, or maybe just want to

0:27:51.840 --> 0:27:54.480
<v Speaker 2>drop into Kansas City to see a game, might be

0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:56.960
<v Speaker 2>able to see some playoff baseball in kans City or

0:27:57.000 --> 0:28:00.040
<v Speaker 2>pretty soon. I'm always looking for the best places to

0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:04.680
<v Speaker 2>and that's why I turned to Airbnb. Anytime I stay

0:28:04.680 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 2>in Airbnb, I'm reminded of how great an idea it

0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:07.920
<v Speaker 2>is to.

0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Airbnb your home while you're away.

0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:13.560
<v Speaker 2>Maybe yourself have stayed in the airbnb before and thought,

0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:16.840
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I could easily turn my space into

0:28:16.880 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 2>an Airbnb. Now that football season's back, lots of fans

0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:23.040
<v Speaker 2>will be traveling to catch a game. You could airbnb

0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:26.479
<v Speaker 2>your home or extra room and make some extra money

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:29.280
<v Speaker 2>while people are in town for the game. Whether you

0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:31.479
<v Speaker 2>use that money for tickets to go cheer on your

0:28:31.520 --> 0:28:35.080
<v Speaker 2>favorite team or something else, entirely, your home might be

0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:39.920
<v Speaker 2>worth more than you think. All right, so let's show

0:28:39.960 --> 0:28:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Deman's we had a winning week by you know, I'm.

0:28:44.040 --> 0:28:46.520
<v Speaker 3>Using the Royal Weei. I had a winning week, and

0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:48.840
<v Speaker 3>hopefully our listeners did as well.

0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:51.760
<v Speaker 2>You didn't have a losing week because you didn't text

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 2>me a teaser in time and I forgot your game

0:28:54.360 --> 0:29:02.040
<v Speaker 2>was on Thursday, so you were saved by my own forgetfulness.

0:29:00.800 --> 0:29:04.040
<v Speaker 4>The extra money. I mean, I'm losing seventy teasers stock it.

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:06.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, worked great.

0:29:06.240 --> 0:29:09.440
<v Speaker 2>So last week I went three and two, which puts

0:29:09.440 --> 0:29:14.560
<v Speaker 2>me at seven seven and one, So Philly plus two

0:29:14.600 --> 0:29:18.040
<v Speaker 2>and a half at New Orleans. Philly has been involved

0:29:18.440 --> 0:29:21.280
<v Speaker 2>either betting on or against them every week this year.

0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:25.400
<v Speaker 2>We'll see if that trend continues this week or this week.

0:29:25.600 --> 0:29:28.680
<v Speaker 2>There was a moment there where I thought that those

0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:30.640
<v Speaker 2>two and a half points might save me, where it

0:29:30.640 --> 0:29:33.680
<v Speaker 2>looked like New Orleans might win the game by one

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 2>or two. Philly ends up winning the game outright. Seattle

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 2>minus four and a half against Miami. That was the

0:29:39.880 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 2>one the producers tried.

0:29:41.720 --> 0:29:44.200
<v Speaker 3>To talk me out of, Like ah Nick, fading.

0:29:43.840 --> 0:29:47.080
<v Speaker 2>These bad quarterbacks when they're you know, backups come in

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:48.760
<v Speaker 2>has hurt you, and it has in the past.

0:29:49.200 --> 0:29:50.120
<v Speaker 3>This time it didn't.

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Miami scored three points all game, and it was off

0:29:53.280 --> 0:29:55.719
<v Speaker 2>a possession where Seattle turned the ball over inside their

0:29:55.720 --> 0:29:59.040
<v Speaker 2>own twenty. They never could move the ball. Kansas City

0:29:59.080 --> 0:30:02.760
<v Speaker 2>minus three and a half at Atlanta. Man, there was

0:30:02.800 --> 0:30:05.200
<v Speaker 2>a few moments there where I thought Kansas City was

0:30:05.240 --> 0:30:09.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna win by two, where I was legit nervous that

0:30:09.600 --> 0:30:14.840
<v Speaker 2>because when Atlanta was driving, not at the very end

0:30:14.840 --> 0:30:18.920
<v Speaker 2>of the game, but the possession. Everyone's crying about the DPI.

0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:23.320
<v Speaker 2>There were so many ways for can City end up

0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:27.800
<v Speaker 2>winning by two. One was Atlanta, they're down five, they

0:30:27.880 --> 0:30:31.520
<v Speaker 2>kick a cowardly field goal, give the ball back to

0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City.

0:30:32.480 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 3>Kent City up too, gets a few.

0:30:34.040 --> 0:30:37.680
<v Speaker 2>First downs game over. The other was they score a

0:30:37.720 --> 0:30:41.880
<v Speaker 2>touchdown to go up one. They obviously would then go

0:30:42.000 --> 0:30:45.920
<v Speaker 2>for two. They missed the two point conversion. Kan City

0:30:45.960 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 2>goes down and kicks a field goal and win by two.

0:30:48.280 --> 0:30:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Luckily none of that happened, So there's three wins. The

0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:54.360
<v Speaker 2>loss is Chicago plus one and a half against Indy

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:58.560
<v Speaker 2>just I mean getting stoned on fourth and goal with

0:30:58.680 --> 0:31:02.920
<v Speaker 2>a speedof and Caleb had some good moments in some

0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:06.400
<v Speaker 2>really tough moments. That was I don't mind that bet

0:31:06.680 --> 0:31:10.680
<v Speaker 2>and Dallas plus one against Baltimore. It looked dead in

0:31:10.720 --> 0:31:14.080
<v Speaker 2>the water from opening kickoff and then all of a sudden,

0:31:14.400 --> 0:31:17.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, wait a minute, here, these guys are coming

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:20.840
<v Speaker 2>the I thought I might steal a victory at the

0:31:20.960 --> 0:31:23.720
<v Speaker 2>end there I obviously didn't. So that was a deserving

0:31:23.800 --> 0:31:27.200
<v Speaker 2>three and two. Three picks that I was firmly on

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:29.200
<v Speaker 2>the right side of two picks. I was firmly on

0:31:29.240 --> 0:31:31.560
<v Speaker 2>the wrong side of three and two. I'm good with

0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:35.600
<v Speaker 2>so oh and by the way, the touchdown, Genie, do

0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:36.560
<v Speaker 2>you remember who I had?

0:31:38.040 --> 0:31:38.280
<v Speaker 4>Yep?

0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, she Ris plus one. All right, Demanse, let's go

0:31:44.120 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 2>to pick number one. I'm taking a page out of

0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:48.920
<v Speaker 2>your book and go on Thursday night.

0:31:49.920 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 4>Yes, uh so your pick one. You've got Dallas minus

0:31:52.840 --> 0:31:53.880
<v Speaker 4>six at the Giants.

0:31:55.720 --> 0:32:00.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Dallas minus six at the Giants tonight. So and the.

0:32:00.720 --> 0:32:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Cowboys historically crush bad teams, thirty two and fourteen against

0:32:08.920 --> 0:32:12.240
<v Speaker 2>the spread against teams under five hundred. Dak is twenty

0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:17.040
<v Speaker 2>nine and eleven against NFC East teams. Daniel Jones at

0:32:17.200 --> 0:32:20.480
<v Speaker 2>night is five and nine against the spread in his career.

0:32:21.160 --> 0:32:25.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Dallas is a great team, but I

0:32:25.400 --> 0:32:28.440
<v Speaker 2>also don't think they're as bad as they've looked early

0:32:28.520 --> 0:32:34.400
<v Speaker 2>this season. They've got to they Ceedee Lamb last year

0:32:34.800 --> 0:32:40.400
<v Speaker 2>top three in the league in targets, receptions, yards, touchdowns,

0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:44.040
<v Speaker 2>big plays, one, two or three in all of those categories.

0:32:44.360 --> 0:32:47.400
<v Speaker 2>This year, he's not top ten in any of them.

0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:53.160
<v Speaker 2>They have to funnel him the football, and defensively, it's

0:32:53.160 --> 0:32:56.320
<v Speaker 2>time for Micah Parsons, DeMarcus Lawrence, and Mike Zimmer to

0:32:56.360 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 2>bow up like you're playing the Giants now. That's say

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:04.520
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna try to run some of that same Reid

0:33:04.560 --> 0:33:08.880
<v Speaker 2>option stuff that lamar Ran that Daniel Jones likes as well.

0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:12.040
<v Speaker 2>At times you need to have learned from how bad

0:33:12.080 --> 0:33:15.440
<v Speaker 2>it was last week. This is a team the Cowboys

0:33:15.960 --> 0:33:19.400
<v Speaker 2>like to blow out and are used to blowing out.

0:33:20.080 --> 0:33:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I've gotta think the Cowboys defense can stand up in

0:33:25.880 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 2>the moment offensively if you're This is also a sneaky,

0:33:32.480 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 2>big Cowboys secondary game where you want to see can

0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:42.520
<v Speaker 2>you take on the challenge of not letting Thelik Neighbors

0:33:43.360 --> 0:33:47.320
<v Speaker 2>baptize you the way he has the last his opponents

0:33:47.400 --> 0:33:51.720
<v Speaker 2>last few weeks. Is Trayvon Diggs back to being Trayvon Diggs?

0:33:52.040 --> 0:33:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Can you leave him out on an island or maybe

0:33:54.800 --> 0:33:56.040
<v Speaker 2>you don't even have to leave them on an island

0:33:56.040 --> 0:33:58.560
<v Speaker 2>and give him safety help to the other Giants receivers

0:33:58.560 --> 0:34:02.560
<v Speaker 2>don't really scare you take him away and then don't

0:34:02.640 --> 0:34:06.160
<v Speaker 2>let Devin Singletary in the Giants run game ruin you get.

0:34:06.400 --> 0:34:09.960
<v Speaker 2>The Cowboys are built to play with e lead. I've

0:34:10.000 --> 0:34:12.319
<v Speaker 2>said it all week, I'll say it again. They're like

0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:17.360
<v Speaker 2>a poor man Peyton Manning Colts team star quarterback play

0:34:17.360 --> 0:34:22.400
<v Speaker 2>on a fast track, indoors star receiver, bookend ad rushers

0:34:22.680 --> 0:34:25.560
<v Speaker 2>get a lead, unleash the pass rush. That's what it

0:34:25.600 --> 0:34:29.520
<v Speaker 2>feels like tonight. Is this feels like a thirty one

0:34:30.239 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 2>seventeen Cowboys victory. All lay the six points with Dallas

0:34:36.400 --> 0:34:38.239
<v Speaker 2>next one. Well, you know what, Before we get to

0:34:38.280 --> 0:34:40.520
<v Speaker 2>the next one, I just want to say some of

0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:44.759
<v Speaker 2>the games that I didn't pick, and like why I

0:34:44.800 --> 0:34:49.440
<v Speaker 2>said this week was so tough Vikings Packers. I don't

0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:53.440
<v Speaker 2>know who's starting at quarterback yet, right, Is that what you.

0:34:53.400 --> 0:34:57.600
<v Speaker 4>Were saying, Jordan Jordan Love, Malik Willis. I was just saying, yeah,

0:34:57.719 --> 0:35:00.160
<v Speaker 4>I know, Jordan Love is my guy, but I got

0:35:00.400 --> 0:35:03.200
<v Speaker 4>I got Minnesota here and my blazing five.

0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:07.560
<v Speaker 3>Actually in your blazing five, Yeah, you.

0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:10.240
<v Speaker 4>Got to base it. Yeah, No, I'm still I'm actually

0:35:10.280 --> 0:35:12.640
<v Speaker 4>still leading in that through three weeks. I gotta stay.

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:16.080
<v Speaker 3>Still at the office. Yeah, oh you're still leading the

0:35:16.160 --> 0:35:17.320
<v Speaker 3>office picks pool.

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:21.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I had a bad, bad week two, but I

0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:23.879
<v Speaker 4>had a four and one week last week. But I'm

0:35:23.920 --> 0:35:27.680
<v Speaker 4>just going off of the quarterbacks that Minnesota's beaten, and

0:35:28.080 --> 0:35:29.680
<v Speaker 4>I don't think Jordan Love is gonna be playing. I

0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:31.600
<v Speaker 4>think it's gonna be leaked Willis. It's gonna be two

0:35:31.640 --> 0:35:33.879
<v Speaker 4>good head coaches against each other. I give the edge

0:35:33.920 --> 0:35:36.080
<v Speaker 4>to Minnesota there, so.

0:35:35.640 --> 0:35:38.080
<v Speaker 2>So hold on, So have we have we made a

0:35:38.120 --> 0:35:41.640
<v Speaker 2>mistake in turning you into the teaser guy when you

0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:43.400
<v Speaker 2>should just be and against the spread.

0:35:43.520 --> 0:35:45.759
<v Speaker 4>I'm pretty good at straight picks. I've got two four

0:35:45.800 --> 0:35:48.200
<v Speaker 4>and one weeks and one two and four and one

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:51.320
<v Speaker 4>four and one week or one in four week Okay

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:54.160
<v Speaker 4>it was actually two and three. It was two and three.

0:35:53.960 --> 0:35:55.359
<v Speaker 4>My week two is two and three.

0:35:55.920 --> 0:35:58.320
<v Speaker 2>So you're ten and five against the spread on the

0:35:58.400 --> 0:36:01.840
<v Speaker 2>year and I'm seven seven and one. Oh my goodness.

0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:07.239
<v Speaker 2>Uh so, just so that was just s DEMONSEI. I

0:36:07.400 --> 0:36:11.080
<v Speaker 2>just don't feel comfortable because I'm not certain what quarterbacks playing.

0:36:11.239 --> 0:36:15.359
<v Speaker 2>That's a great game. Yeah, and so all right, let's

0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:17.799
<v Speaker 2>go to my next actual pick. Demon's a And by

0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:20.000
<v Speaker 2>the way, tell me now that I know that you're

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:23.439
<v Speaker 2>a red hot tell me if any of these after

0:36:23.480 --> 0:36:26.920
<v Speaker 2>you say the game, if it's in your picks this game,

0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:28.759
<v Speaker 2>and which side you took if it is.

0:36:28.800 --> 0:36:29.600
<v Speaker 3>But go ahead.

0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:33.719
<v Speaker 4>Cincinnati minus four at Carolina, I've got them.

0:36:33.840 --> 0:36:40.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you have Cincinnati. Yeah, okay, so yeah, so I

0:36:40.120 --> 0:36:43.759
<v Speaker 2>understand they're zero and three. They're a road dog. Their

0:36:43.800 --> 0:36:48.920
<v Speaker 2>defense has been dreadful Carolina is not gonna look as

0:36:48.960 --> 0:36:51.560
<v Speaker 2>good offensively this week with Andy Dalton as they did

0:36:51.640 --> 0:36:57.760
<v Speaker 2>last week, and that Carolina defense really is awful, truly awful.

0:36:57.840 --> 0:37:01.600
<v Speaker 2>They they and they lost their best player a couple

0:37:01.640 --> 0:37:05.680
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago, Derek Brown for the season. And Cincinnati, despite

0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:09.200
<v Speaker 2>being owen three, has been really good since Week one.

0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:12.320
<v Speaker 2>On the offensive side of the ball. I mean, they

0:37:12.440 --> 0:37:15.000
<v Speaker 2>scored every time or they never punted to turn the

0:37:15.000 --> 0:37:18.920
<v Speaker 2>ball over. Against Washington, they did well offensively against a

0:37:19.000 --> 0:37:20.240
<v Speaker 2>great Chiefs defense.

0:37:20.840 --> 0:37:21.879
<v Speaker 3>So the fact that I.

0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Don't have to lay I laying four points on the

0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:28.920
<v Speaker 2>road isn't fun. But this is a break glass in

0:37:29.040 --> 0:37:36.359
<v Speaker 2>case of emergency, absolute season disaster if you lose this game,

0:37:36.400 --> 0:37:41.000
<v Speaker 2>if your sincy so, I don't think and Andy Dalton

0:37:41.239 --> 0:37:45.360
<v Speaker 2>isn't Jaden Daniels. They have already had two games on

0:37:45.400 --> 0:37:47.960
<v Speaker 2>their schedules so far this year that I'm sure they

0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:51.839
<v Speaker 2>thought were gonna be relatively easy wins, the Patriots game

0:37:52.239 --> 0:37:56.720
<v Speaker 2>and Washington. They lost them. They can't fall to zen four.

0:37:57.120 --> 0:38:00.640
<v Speaker 2>They can't lose to the Patriots and the Panther in

0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:03.319
<v Speaker 2>the first month of the season. I think we were

0:38:03.360 --> 0:38:07.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna see more T Higgins this game Joshavas their third

0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:10.520
<v Speaker 2>wide receiver is really you know, stepped into a bigger

0:38:10.640 --> 0:38:13.520
<v Speaker 2>role and for the first time all year. Last week,

0:38:13.600 --> 0:38:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Jamar Chase looked like Jamar Chase. I like Cincinnati.

0:38:17.960 --> 0:38:21.360
<v Speaker 4>Just is it Sam Donald or is it Andy Dalton?

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:22.600
<v Speaker 4>That's the ex spangle.

0:38:24.239 --> 0:38:28.520
<v Speaker 3>Oh it's Andy Dalton, Andy Andy Dalton revenge game. I

0:38:28.520 --> 0:38:31.440
<v Speaker 3>mean you are right about that. This isn't Andy Dalton

0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:35.960
<v Speaker 3>revenge spot. Maybe I that's funny. I wasn't thinking about that,

0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:36.800
<v Speaker 3>but you are correct.

0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Andy Dalton hosting the team that he took the playoffs

0:38:39.440 --> 0:38:45.000
<v Speaker 2>all those times. But yeah, I'll take Cincinnati minus four

0:38:45.680 --> 0:38:49.760
<v Speaker 2>at Carolina. Burrow is a favorite. Burrow is a favorite

0:38:49.760 --> 0:38:51.400
<v Speaker 2>of three or more on the road. Is seven and

0:38:51.440 --> 0:38:55.760
<v Speaker 2>three against the spread. He's twenty two and eleven against

0:38:55.760 --> 0:38:58.040
<v Speaker 2>the spread on the road in general or on a

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:02.279
<v Speaker 2>neutral site. I like since just scored thirty points in

0:39:02.320 --> 0:39:05.120
<v Speaker 2>this game. I know for Dallas and Cincinnati, I've called

0:39:05.160 --> 0:39:08.840
<v Speaker 2>for high point totals, and so I like them in

0:39:08.880 --> 0:39:11.120
<v Speaker 2>this spot. I don't think Carolina is gonna be able

0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:13.920
<v Speaker 2>to break twenty. I like Cincinnati lang before.

0:39:13.840 --> 0:39:18.879
<v Speaker 4>Next Tampa Bay plus two versus Philly. I love this one.

0:39:19.040 --> 0:39:21.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're on my side of it.

0:39:22.239 --> 0:39:25.560
<v Speaker 4>No, Yeah, I like Tampa Bay, but I stayed away

0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:28.879
<v Speaker 4>from it. I don't know. It's a it's a difficult one.

0:39:28.960 --> 0:39:31.000
<v Speaker 4>I think it could be a Philly revenge game for

0:39:31.080 --> 0:39:35.120
<v Speaker 4>the playoffs last year. I trust Baker, but yeah.

0:39:34.800 --> 0:39:40.920
<v Speaker 2>So here's the thing. Tampa's defense is really banged up. However,

0:39:42.480 --> 0:39:48.480
<v Speaker 2>no Aj Brown, no DeVante's I think, so Tampa can

0:39:48.680 --> 0:39:55.600
<v Speaker 2>really focus on Saquon Barkley. Tampa humbled a bit last week.

0:39:56.120 --> 0:40:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Philly I don't think looked great all last week. I'm

0:40:01.680 --> 0:40:04.319
<v Speaker 2>also this is also a spot I know they got

0:40:04.360 --> 0:40:06.560
<v Speaker 2>the win, and good for them forgetting the win. This

0:40:06.719 --> 0:40:10.040
<v Speaker 2>is also the spot where I'm getting points at home

0:40:10.600 --> 0:40:14.640
<v Speaker 2>with an equivalent caliber team. I don't think Philly's better

0:40:14.680 --> 0:40:18.520
<v Speaker 2>than Tampa. I know they're not better coached, and getting

0:40:18.520 --> 0:40:22.000
<v Speaker 2>those two points with all the dumb shit Sirianni does

0:40:22.440 --> 0:40:25.280
<v Speaker 2>as fourth downs and the shooing field goals, all that stuff,

0:40:25.520 --> 0:40:28.680
<v Speaker 2>that those could be a very valuable two points. I

0:40:28.880 --> 0:40:32.560
<v Speaker 2>liked Philly last week when I thought people were overreacting

0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:33.840
<v Speaker 2>to the Saints.

0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:36.480
<v Speaker 3>I do not like Philly at all. This week.

0:40:36.719 --> 0:40:40.040
<v Speaker 2>I think Tampa wins outright, but also I just think

0:40:40.080 --> 0:40:43.480
<v Speaker 2>this is a low scoring game and a low score

0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:48.840
<v Speaker 2>and I know Philly's defense looked good last week, but

0:40:48.920 --> 0:40:52.839
<v Speaker 2>now you've got to deal with Evans and Godwin, and

0:40:52.920 --> 0:40:54.799
<v Speaker 2>so I think Tampa will be able to move the

0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:59.240
<v Speaker 2>ball somewhat through the air. And so this just feels

0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:02.480
<v Speaker 2>to me like a spot where I'm getting I think

0:41:02.520 --> 0:41:06.800
<v Speaker 2>the slightly better team at home with points Tampa plus

0:41:06.840 --> 0:41:09.759
<v Speaker 2>two is what I'm rolling with. As far as the

0:41:09.840 --> 0:41:13.560
<v Speaker 2>trends go. Jalen Hurts is seven and fourteen against the

0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:16.839
<v Speaker 2>spread as a road favorite and one four and one

0:41:16.920 --> 0:41:20.320
<v Speaker 2>in his last six against the spread as a road favorite.

0:41:20.360 --> 0:41:23.680
<v Speaker 4>All right, Next, next, you've got Atlanta minus two and

0:41:23.760 --> 0:41:25.080
<v Speaker 4>a half versus New Orleans.

0:41:26.200 --> 0:41:30.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I this says because it's in Atlanta, that

0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:34.080
<v Speaker 2>these are two equivalent teams. They're at home, they're fair

0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:35.840
<v Speaker 2>by two and a half. I don't think that. I

0:41:35.880 --> 0:41:38.960
<v Speaker 2>think Atlanta is better than New Orleans. New Orleans all now,

0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:41.799
<v Speaker 2>both offensive lines are banged up, but I think that

0:41:41.960 --> 0:41:45.080
<v Speaker 2>is more damaging to New Orleans than it is for Atlanta.

0:41:45.440 --> 0:41:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Derek Carr, the moment you pressure him, goes quick pumpkin mode.

0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:54.200
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans came back down to Earth last week a bit. Atlanta,

0:41:54.280 --> 0:41:58.520
<v Speaker 2>on the other hand, had this brutal early part of

0:41:58.560 --> 0:42:02.280
<v Speaker 2>their schedule. Everyone knew that this was that the early

0:42:02.360 --> 0:42:07.880
<v Speaker 2>part of their schedule was the toughest part. They had Steelers, Eagles, Chiefs.

0:42:08.280 --> 0:42:12.320
<v Speaker 2>They escaped one and two. They really only looked terrible

0:42:12.360 --> 0:42:15.399
<v Speaker 2>in Week one. They obviously could have won last week

0:42:15.440 --> 0:42:18.560
<v Speaker 2>against the Chiefs. Now they get another home game against

0:42:18.600 --> 0:42:21.879
<v Speaker 2>their arch rival New Orleans. New Orleans is coming off

0:42:21.960 --> 0:42:26.200
<v Speaker 2>a tough law. They're both coming off tough losses. Atlanta,

0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:28.160
<v Speaker 2>their center.

0:42:28.360 --> 0:42:30.280
<v Speaker 4>Lost to a real team.

0:42:30.760 --> 0:42:34.440
<v Speaker 2>Exactly right, No, no, no, exactly right. And I thought Atlanta

0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:38.400
<v Speaker 2>also looked better throughout that game than New Orleans looked

0:42:38.800 --> 0:42:41.520
<v Speaker 2>in the Philly game. And so that Philly game, to me,

0:42:42.360 --> 0:42:45.680
<v Speaker 2>it was close early on, in large part because of

0:42:45.760 --> 0:42:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Sirianni's bad game management. So I think Atlanta's better than

0:42:50.120 --> 0:42:53.240
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans. I still think Atlanta's going to win this division.

0:42:53.560 --> 0:42:56.480
<v Speaker 2>This is a game Atlanta's got to have. This feels

0:42:56.560 --> 0:43:00.640
<v Speaker 2>like a twenty four to twenty at Lanta win.

0:43:01.160 --> 0:43:03.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm only laying two and a half.

0:43:03.360 --> 0:43:06.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll take it Atlanta minus two and a half. And

0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:08.799
<v Speaker 2>this next one is painful for me, But go ahead.

0:43:09.400 --> 0:43:13.640
<v Speaker 4>You've got the Rams plus three at Chicago. Fade and Caleb.

0:43:13.800 --> 0:43:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well, listen, I'm hoping for a twenty one to

0:43:17.080 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty Chicago win and I get the cover.

0:43:20.080 --> 0:43:23.040
<v Speaker 3>But this is right.

0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:26.480
<v Speaker 2>And I know the Rams are banged up. I understand that,

0:43:27.760 --> 0:43:32.080
<v Speaker 2>but this is I am getting three points, and I

0:43:32.360 --> 0:43:38.359
<v Speaker 2>have on my side the two most important things, and

0:43:38.440 --> 0:43:41.480
<v Speaker 2>one of them's by a massive margin. I have the

0:43:41.520 --> 0:43:44.439
<v Speaker 2>better quarterback, and I love Caleb, and things is gonna

0:43:44.440 --> 0:43:47.040
<v Speaker 2>be excellent, but he's not better than Matt Stafford right now.

0:43:47.840 --> 0:43:51.480
<v Speaker 2>And I have what appears to be at the moment

0:43:52.120 --> 0:43:54.799
<v Speaker 2>as big of a coaching mismatch as there is in

0:43:54.840 --> 0:43:59.440
<v Speaker 2>this league, which is Sean McVeigh and Matty Eberflus. And

0:43:59.560 --> 0:44:03.680
<v Speaker 2>so I I have not been impressed by Chicago's coaching

0:44:03.760 --> 0:44:06.680
<v Speaker 2>this year. I certainly haven't been impressed by their running game.

0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:11.279
<v Speaker 2>Caleb's a rookie quarterback. I'm getting three points for a

0:44:11.400 --> 0:44:13.920
<v Speaker 2>Rams team that has to feel like, man, we just

0:44:14.080 --> 0:44:16.040
<v Speaker 2>saved our season last week.

0:44:16.360 --> 0:44:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Can we go to Chicago and steal one?

0:44:19.239 --> 0:44:24.640
<v Speaker 2>I Again, my hope is a one point Chicago victory,

0:44:25.120 --> 0:44:28.319
<v Speaker 2>but it would not shock me if the Rams win

0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:31.520
<v Speaker 2>this game out right. I wouldn't hate to be wrong

0:44:31.600 --> 0:44:34.520
<v Speaker 2>about this pick, because then it means Caleb got cooking,

0:44:34.560 --> 0:44:38.440
<v Speaker 2>which is good for me. This is I mean, it's

0:44:38.440 --> 0:44:40.799
<v Speaker 2>a little embarrassing to say right now, but it is

0:44:40.880 --> 0:44:44.680
<v Speaker 2>the truth. This is the matchup that I predicted for

0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:49.200
<v Speaker 2>the NFC Championship game. Rams Bears, both sitting at one

0:44:49.239 --> 0:44:53.480
<v Speaker 2>and two, neither looking like NFC Championship contenders yet. But

0:44:53.680 --> 0:44:57.759
<v Speaker 2>you know what, it's early in the season. So I've

0:44:57.760 --> 0:45:02.319
<v Speaker 2>got the Rams plus three at chicag by the and

0:45:03.360 --> 0:45:04.320
<v Speaker 2>the Rams are.

0:45:06.400 --> 0:45:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Hold on.

0:45:06.760 --> 0:45:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Let me read this right, team now, this is not good.

0:45:10.000 --> 0:45:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Teams are eleven and twenty five the week after facing

0:45:12.960 --> 0:45:16.320
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco last three seasons. Yeah, but San Francisco is

0:45:16.400 --> 0:45:19.480
<v Speaker 2>not as big and physical as they were defensively the

0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:22.239
<v Speaker 2>last few years. All right, So my five picks for

0:45:22.280 --> 0:45:27.719
<v Speaker 2>the week three favorites two dogs laying six with Dallas

0:45:27.760 --> 0:45:29.759
<v Speaker 2>at the Giants. That goes against a lot of trains.

0:45:29.800 --> 0:45:33.400
<v Speaker 2>I understand it's a divisional road favorite. Short week, big number,

0:45:33.440 --> 0:45:37.879
<v Speaker 2>don't care. Cincinnati minus four at Carolina, Tampa plus two

0:45:38.040 --> 0:45:40.960
<v Speaker 2>against Philly. Atlanta minus two and a half home for

0:45:41.040 --> 0:45:44.359
<v Speaker 2>New Orleans and the Rams plus three at Chicago. All right,

0:45:44.960 --> 0:45:47.760
<v Speaker 2>at this point, you guys probably know. But Demonse's teaser

0:45:47.840 --> 0:45:52.719
<v Speaker 2>lost last week, lost on Thursday. You almost got a

0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:56.640
<v Speaker 2>fraudulent push at the end. Yeah, I mean, I mean

0:45:56.680 --> 0:45:59.680
<v Speaker 2>they put in Drake May, they start throwing the ball,

0:46:00.040 --> 0:46:02.920
<v Speaker 2>they get the they're down twenty one, you need fourteen.

0:46:03.440 --> 0:46:05.040
<v Speaker 2>They get the ball inside the ten and they just

0:46:05.080 --> 0:46:07.080
<v Speaker 2>let the clock run out. I mean, that was a

0:46:07.120 --> 0:46:09.839
<v Speaker 2>painful one. I'm not gonna lie to you. You were

0:46:09.840 --> 0:46:12.319
<v Speaker 2>on the right side of Baltimore. So what are we

0:46:12.400 --> 0:46:13.000
<v Speaker 2>doing this week?

0:46:13.040 --> 0:46:13.600
<v Speaker 3>Demansey?

0:46:14.480 --> 0:46:17.359
<v Speaker 4>So we've got another two teams seven point teaser. We're

0:46:17.360 --> 0:46:19.560
<v Speaker 4>gonna lose the half point. It's gonna be sitting at

0:46:19.560 --> 0:46:24.160
<v Speaker 4>minus one point fifty. We're teasing Tampa Bay from plus

0:46:24.200 --> 0:46:28.120
<v Speaker 4>two up to plus nine versus Philly like it and

0:46:28.360 --> 0:46:31.520
<v Speaker 4>all right, So there's a little little thing here. So

0:46:31.560 --> 0:46:35.400
<v Speaker 4>if Herbert plays, I want the Chargers plus fourteen and

0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:39.440
<v Speaker 4>a half versus Kansas City. If Herbert does not play,

0:46:39.600 --> 0:46:41.960
<v Speaker 4>I want Kansas City. Basically I have to pick him.

0:46:41.960 --> 0:46:44.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm teasing them down to zero point five or something

0:46:44.120 --> 0:46:44.479
<v Speaker 4>like that.

0:46:44.560 --> 0:46:47.279
<v Speaker 3>All right, So here's the problem here.

0:46:47.480 --> 0:46:50.080
<v Speaker 4>We thought there might have been a problems and.

0:46:49.960 --> 0:46:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I hate to say it, but I can't allow this. Well,

0:46:56.440 --> 0:47:00.919
<v Speaker 2>once they give Herbert an official designation, this will move.

0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:05.920
<v Speaker 2>So if you want to lock in the fourteen and

0:47:05.920 --> 0:47:11.000
<v Speaker 2>a half, now, are you saying you'll just take it

0:47:11.480 --> 0:47:13.719
<v Speaker 2>at what after the number is a kickoff?

0:47:14.440 --> 0:47:16.279
<v Speaker 4>Well, I feel like what the number is right now

0:47:16.400 --> 0:47:18.719
<v Speaker 4>is fourteen and a half. It's so like I feel

0:47:18.760 --> 0:47:22.080
<v Speaker 4>like that's the number. Like but yeah, I mean if

0:47:22.080 --> 0:47:23.960
<v Speaker 4>he doesn't play though, like it's.

0:47:25.239 --> 0:47:28.839
<v Speaker 2>I understand, but you get what I do, right, But

0:47:29.400 --> 0:47:32.760
<v Speaker 2>here's here's what I'm trying to tell you. I don't

0:47:32.800 --> 0:47:35.520
<v Speaker 2>know what Vegas thinks is going to happen. It seems

0:47:35.560 --> 0:47:40.680
<v Speaker 2>like this is priced as if he's not playing, okay,

0:47:40.680 --> 0:47:45.080
<v Speaker 2>but if they announce he is playing, that fourteen and

0:47:45.120 --> 0:47:48.680
<v Speaker 2>a half will not be available to you once it's announced,

0:47:48.840 --> 0:47:51.760
<v Speaker 2>because they won't be seven and a half point dogs anymore.

0:47:52.200 --> 0:47:54.640
<v Speaker 3>They'll be like four and a half point dogs at.

0:47:54.480 --> 0:47:57.360
<v Speaker 4>That point and that and sense, yeah, I would be

0:47:57.400 --> 0:47:59.280
<v Speaker 4>willing to tease them up to eleven and a half,

0:48:00.000 --> 0:48:02.920
<v Speaker 4>all right, So this is this is this will all do?

0:48:03.200 --> 0:48:05.880
<v Speaker 4>I would tease them, but that the Herbert situation, it's

0:48:06.160 --> 0:48:09.560
<v Speaker 4>it's wonky I'm just gonna tease the Niners down, and

0:48:09.600 --> 0:48:12.839
<v Speaker 4>they're England in the New England game to like ten

0:48:12.880 --> 0:48:14.760
<v Speaker 4>and a half to like three and a half. They're playing.

0:48:15.120 --> 0:48:17.719
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm no, no, no, no, I didn't want to

0:48:17.800 --> 0:48:19.040
<v Speaker 2>talk you off your game.

0:48:19.600 --> 0:48:20.799
<v Speaker 3>It's not what I wanted to do.

0:48:20.960 --> 0:48:23.520
<v Speaker 2>And then you're so because then I'm gonna get I

0:48:23.680 --> 0:48:25.960
<v Speaker 2>just want you right, like, here's the question.

0:48:25.960 --> 0:48:28.200
<v Speaker 4>You want me to commit to something? Ahead?

0:48:28.880 --> 0:48:30.880
<v Speaker 3>Right right, And here's the question I have for you.

0:48:31.640 --> 0:48:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Even if Justin Herbert plays, do you think the Chargers

0:48:35.800 --> 0:48:37.040
<v Speaker 2>are beating the Chiefs?

0:48:38.920 --> 0:48:39.120
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:48:40.400 --> 0:48:41.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so just.

0:48:41.719 --> 0:48:44.160
<v Speaker 4>Right, so you said, whatever line it is, I just

0:48:44.239 --> 0:48:45.160
<v Speaker 4>tease the Chiefs down.

0:48:46.160 --> 0:48:49.320
<v Speaker 2>No, just right now, just lock it in. You're Tampa

0:48:49.320 --> 0:48:52.440
<v Speaker 2>plus nine the Chiefs to a pick them. It's a

0:48:52.520 --> 0:48:56.120
<v Speaker 2>great tease. It's an A plus teas. You're getting Tampa

0:48:56.200 --> 0:48:58.719
<v Speaker 2>three key numbers. You're getting the best team in the

0:48:58.800 --> 0:49:03.120
<v Speaker 2>league against an incredibly injured Charger team just to win.

0:49:03.600 --> 0:49:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Just call that your teaser. Are you okay with that?

0:49:06.160 --> 0:49:08.600
<v Speaker 3>Or do you feel like I'm pushing you and he's

0:49:08.640 --> 0:49:09.080
<v Speaker 3>not enough?

0:49:10.239 --> 0:49:13.160
<v Speaker 4>No, it's it's I'm fine with I'm fine with teasing

0:49:13.200 --> 0:49:15.960
<v Speaker 4>him to a pick him. Yeah, and if he doesn't pay,

0:49:16.200 --> 0:49:17.680
<v Speaker 4>I don't know what's gonna happen.

0:49:18.239 --> 0:49:22.120
<v Speaker 2>So the worry is that they announced he doesn't play,

0:49:22.840 --> 0:49:26.040
<v Speaker 2>and the Chiefs become bigger favorites, and you're not getting

0:49:26.080 --> 0:49:27.880
<v Speaker 2>them out of pick him anymore. You're getting them at

0:49:27.880 --> 0:49:30.600
<v Speaker 2>a bigger number. So he's got Tampa plus nine Kansas

0:49:30.600 --> 0:49:34.040
<v Speaker 2>City minus half point. We're gonna give that an A plus.

0:49:34.600 --> 0:49:38.160
<v Speaker 2>I I it's so funny, Deman say, I had something

0:49:38.160 --> 0:49:40.920
<v Speaker 2>going on this morning, so I couldn't I was gonna

0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:46.000
<v Speaker 2>text you. My teaser advice this week is very simple.

0:49:46.880 --> 0:49:52.560
<v Speaker 2>Find an underdog that you think can win outright and

0:49:52.760 --> 0:49:53.480
<v Speaker 2>pair them with.

0:49:53.560 --> 0:49:56.920
<v Speaker 3>The Chiefs teased down. And I think that's what you

0:49:57.040 --> 0:49:57.759
<v Speaker 3>ended up doing.

0:49:57.800 --> 0:49:59.480
<v Speaker 4>Exactly. Do you think.

0:49:59.320 --> 0:50:02.839
<v Speaker 3>Tampa can win out right at plus two and.

0:50:02.840 --> 0:50:05.840
<v Speaker 4>Your honestly don't even think Philly should be favored in

0:50:05.880 --> 0:50:06.319
<v Speaker 4>that game?

0:50:06.480 --> 0:50:09.880
<v Speaker 2>But right, but I agree with I mean, I agree

0:50:09.920 --> 0:50:12.120
<v Speaker 2>with you in Tampa. I don't think they should either.

0:50:12.600 --> 0:50:14.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, what's the offer this week?

0:50:14.760 --> 0:50:18.520
<v Speaker 4>So the week four offer is called Iron sharpens Iron.

0:50:19.200 --> 0:50:21.560
<v Speaker 4>Two of your guys, Caleb and Stafford, as we just

0:50:21.600 --> 0:50:23.920
<v Speaker 4>talked about, face off this week. Let's see if they

0:50:23.960 --> 0:50:26.560
<v Speaker 4>bring the best out of each other, Caleb Williams and

0:50:26.600 --> 0:50:28.919
<v Speaker 4>Matthew Stafford to both pass for two to twenty five

0:50:28.960 --> 0:50:32.960
<v Speaker 4>plus yards and two plus touchdowns at plus seven point fifty.

0:50:34.239 --> 0:50:37.480
<v Speaker 2>It's not enough odds, that's not a good enough number.

0:50:37.520 --> 0:50:41.080
<v Speaker 2>I'd love for that to happen, and I apologize. I mean,

0:50:41.080 --> 0:50:43.920
<v Speaker 2>that's a good offer from the producers as far as

0:50:43.960 --> 0:50:46.719
<v Speaker 2>what I'm rooting for. But then both the throw for

0:50:46.760 --> 0:50:49.960
<v Speaker 2>two and a quarter and both to throw two touchdowns.

0:50:50.560 --> 0:50:52.760
<v Speaker 2>How many games have we had in the NFL all

0:50:52.920 --> 0:50:56.920
<v Speaker 2>year where both quarterbacks threw over two twenty five and

0:50:57.040 --> 0:51:01.280
<v Speaker 2>both quarterbacks threw two touchdowns? Not many, So I'm gonna

0:51:01.320 --> 0:51:04.399
<v Speaker 2>have to polite. That should be like fourteen to one.

0:51:05.640 --> 0:51:08.399
<v Speaker 4>Crazier, Okay, I guess the I was gonna say, we've

0:51:08.400 --> 0:51:11.760
<v Speaker 4>given way crazier offer for it's.

0:51:11.160 --> 0:51:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Crazier, but it just took them. Yeah, I exactly. I

0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:16.799
<v Speaker 2>just need better. That's to me, like a fourteen to

0:51:16.840 --> 0:51:18.760
<v Speaker 2>one bet, not a seven and a half to one bet.

0:51:19.000 --> 0:51:22.880
<v Speaker 2>So I have to politely decline that offer. I apologize.

0:51:23.040 --> 0:51:25.320
<v Speaker 2>I know people put a lot of work into those offers,

0:51:25.320 --> 0:51:26.680
<v Speaker 2>but I have to politely decline it.

0:51:26.880 --> 0:51:28.239
<v Speaker 3>All right, Deman's a great job.
