It's made Jason McIntire straight Fire for Monday, 3 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 1: November first. Wow, we made it to November ten months. 4 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: In the books in twenty one, they go by fast. Um. 5 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: And this past weekend was pretty awesome. I have to 6 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: say it was super busy.

Obviously, I'm into sugar um gummy 12 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: horrible gummy bears. I like butterfingers like. I will be 13 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: stealing a lot of candy. And I do have some 14 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: funny Halloween stories because I did go trick or treating 15 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: with the kids in a bunch of other families. Um. 16 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: So I was only able to follow Cowboys vikings on 17 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: my phone, and I told this guy I'd give him 18 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: a shout out. He does listen to the pod. He 19 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: plays pick up basketball with us, and he's like, oh Jay, 20 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: my fantasy team. I had to start Cooper Rush. I'm like, 21 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 1: oh jeez, why the hell to do that? You know. 22 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: He's like, well, I got Doc is my guy, and 23 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: that there was nobody left that Doc was ruled out 24 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: inactive an hour before the game. I'm like, oh jeez, 25 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 1: that's that's tough. You're gonna take a loss. He's like, yeah, 26 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: so we're, you know, walking around with the kids and 27 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,279 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush is doing nothing. He's like's the second half quarterback. 28 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: I've know him from college, second half quarterback and being 29 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: another guy. You're just laughing, like, ah, sir, Cooper Rush, 30 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: second half guy. Got it. Cooper Rush just put it 31 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: on the Vikings. An incredible performance. I folks, I am 32 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: absolutely floored by what happened Sunday in the NFL, and 33 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: Cooper Rush was like the perfect ending to a absolute 34 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: madness of a weekend starting Thursday with Kyler Murray and 35 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: the Cardinals losing. I mean, Sunday you have and don't 36 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: worry Saturday, I'm coming back for you. Uh. In the 37 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: college football realm, you look through their injuries at quarterback 38 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: on Sunday, Trevor Simeon comes in cold. I don't know 39 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 1: if you're throwing it past in a couple of years. 40 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: You guys probably remember him. I think he was Northwestern 41 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 1: and then Denver Broncos career backup journeyman against the Todd 42 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 1: Bowles defense of the Bucks. All they do is bring 43 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: the heat, pressure the hell out of quarterbacks. Blitz, blitz, 44 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: blitz and blitz and more. Remember what they did to 45 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: Mahomes in the Super Bowl, and Trevor Simeon delivered. I 46 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: can't listen. I'm thrilled. I had the Saints uh in 47 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: the four million dollar contest. By the way I went 48 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: through into um. Trevor Simon delivered backup like beach Tom 49 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: Brady like they were up twenty three, two seven, And 50 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: then of course Brady storms back, and you're like, well Winston, 51 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: Winston's like carded off, he's done. Trevor Simon ain't getting 52 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: the job done, and and the kid came back late 53 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: in the fourth and of course Brady throws a pick six. 54 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: But that was after mom main man Mike White. And 55 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: it's funny because another dad while we're trucking treating, is 56 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: like Mike White. That just sounds like a made up name. 57 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: It sounds like a perfect jet story. Who's starting at quarterback? 58 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: Mike White, like like, that's the namelessub. Dude. You're at 59 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: home depot and you're looking at paint and Mike White 60 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: is the guy's tag and you're, hey, Mike, how are 61 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,239 Speaker 1: you can I get the you know, vanilla paint color. 62 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: It's like, Mike White throws for four hundred yards against 63 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: the five and two Bengals and the Jets win. The 64 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: Bengals are ten and a half point favorites, and I 65 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: confess in my survivor leagues, I had the Bengals in 66 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: one of them. It's it's a tough hit. Now, this 67 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: is a league with like I don't know if it's 68 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: a six figure payout, but it's a large payout. There's 69 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: at least two thousand people in it. I have been 70 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: afraid to look because I have two entries in there, 71 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: which is nice, but I would assume a lot of 72 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: them have the Cincinnati Bengals. I mean, this is the 73 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: Bengals are ten and a half point favorites facing a 74 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: backup quarterback who had never started a game, and Mike 75 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: White through for four hundred yards. A brutal late interception 76 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: by Burrow flipped it, and uh, my New York Jets 77 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 1: win a game, and and this is where it gets 78 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: really funny. Guys, do you know the Jets have more 79 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: wins than the Miami Dolphins right now? And I just 80 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: love that because I all I do is fight with 81 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: Dolphins fans seemingly online because they're insufferable and just terrible 82 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: people who think so highly of their team. Dolphins lose again, 83 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: although they showed well to a covered um. I just 84 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: I'm thrilled. Now. The negative of this, of course, is 85 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: that the Jets now will tumble a little bit down 86 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: the draft board and Seattle wins, which also hurts the Jets. 87 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: So not a great day for Jets future prospects. But 88 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: between Cooper Rush, Mike White, and Trevor Simeon, this is 89 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: like Week nine is like the backups ruled, and you 90 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: can argue that, hey, defense is weren't ready for him? 91 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: What do you mean not ready for Cooper Rush? Now? 92 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: A couple of key things on the Cooper Rush game. 93 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: I told this stat on Cowherd show McCarthy off of 94 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: Bye is awesome. He's thirteen four and one, Okay, now 95 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: he's fourteen four and one. And the weirdness here is 96 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: they were not revealing what's up with dak for two 97 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: weeks and then all of a sudden, an hour before 98 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: the game inactive, so they kept Minnesota guessing. For all 99 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: we know, they were installing an offense for two weeks. 100 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: For Cooper Rush, Now, he didn't look great in the 101 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: first half, but in the second half he was hitting 102 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: and listen, down three, he had to make a big 103 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: money drive. And I mean not sure, Marie Cooper catches 104 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: a freak pass, But folks, I think at this point 105 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,839 Speaker 1: we gotta give the Cowboys or Flowers. And I talking 106 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: to Rob and I think he may agree with me. 107 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: I get a call every Sunday from Cowherd. You know, 108 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: we catch up on Sunday NFL talking shoots to ship whatever, 109 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: talking industry stuff. And I say to him, I'm like, dude, 110 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: this was before the Cowboys game, Like who's best team 111 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: in the NFL right now? Like I remember coming on 112 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: this podcast maybe three weeks ago after Justin Herbert, I 113 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 1: watched Herbert dismember the Browns, and I'm like, holy Schnike's 114 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. Who are you taking a quarterback over him? 115 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: If you're drafting in this league? Maybe Mahomes And that's it. 116 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: Mahomes floundering. Of course we'll get to the best bet later. 117 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: And it's like, what has Justin Herbert done since? And 118 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: it's like, did he read every clipping? They went to Baltimore, 119 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: they got smacked. Herbert did nothing, And I gotta be honest, 120 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: I was way on the wrong side of Patriots Chargers. 121 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: It looked and felt good early Charges go right down 122 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: and score. Chargers get the ball, score again. And they 123 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 1: did nothing the rest of the game. I have this 124 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 1: in my notes. The Chargers had one more drive the 125 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: rest of the game over twenty five yards. And this 126 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: is against the Patriots defense that's been pretty bad, pretty injured. 127 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 1: I I know the Chargers had a couple of big 128 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: plays that skew it, and the first two drive skew everything, 129 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: but a brutal, brutal pick six by my guy Herbert, 130 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: little miscommunication with the tight end Jared Cook. It felt 131 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: like the A. J. Green Uh play which lost the game, 132 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: except Green never turned around. Cook turned around in the 133 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: middle as a wide was the cornerbacks diving for the pick, 134 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 1: and it was just a brutal loss for the Chargers. 135 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: I listen, you never want to if we've learned nothing 136 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: these Monday pods are fun. Takeaway, don't ever take away 137 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: too much from one game. Chargers were flying high at 138 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: four and one, their only losses to the Cowboys. They've 139 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: now lost to the Ravens and Patriots. On the docket 140 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: a trip across the country to the Eagles host the Vikings, 141 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: who we don't know what you do? You never know 142 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: what the hell the Vikings are gonna do. Kirk Cousins 143 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: look like dogs. I just can't say that. Too many 144 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: parents have told me that. Oh I listened with the 145 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: kid driving my kid to school, Like, all right, I'll 146 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: show what the cuss words Vikings, Steelers, Uh, Bengals, Chiefs, 147 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: they got some tough ones. I thought the Chargers were 148 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: content a legit contender for the NFC title. Gap I 149 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: don't know right now. And and that's I think the 150 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: overriding theme from this weekend. You come out of it 151 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: with more questions than answers. I mean, the San Francisco 152 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: forty Niners offense has been total mess without George Kittle. Well, 153 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: they didn't punt once against the Bears. Now I know 154 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: the Bears didn't have Khalil Mack. And you know it's 155 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: really still the Deebo Samuel Show, which the Bears can't 156 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: figure out because the Bears defense stinks. And I was 157 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: on the right side in San frand it felt great. 158 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: But like, are the Niners good again? I don't know. 159 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: I there's so many questions around the league right now. 160 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: I think the one thing you can confidently say is 161 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: that the Dallas Cowboys right now are the best team 162 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: in the league. They won with Cooper Russia quarterback on 163 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: the road in supposedly hostile minister out up. By the way, 164 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 1: it's funny when they scored that go ahead touchdown the 165 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: final like fifty seconds and they kicked the extra point, 166 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: the crowd roared, like Dallas took over that stadium. They 167 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: clearly travel well. I didn't know Minnesota was like a 168 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: hotbed for Halloween, but I guess Cowboys fans are like, 169 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: we gotta get up there. Um. The Dallas Cowboys are 170 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: seven or no against the spread. They're in the weakest 171 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: division in football. They now they the Dallas Cowboys. Like seriously, 172 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: with McCarthy, who we were scoffing at during Hard Knocks, 173 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: he was a laughing stock. The Dallas Cowboys are undefeated 174 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: against the spread, six and one. The lone loss in 175 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: the opener to the Bucks. And right now, I think 176 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: you gotta say they've got the inside track on the 177 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: number one seed in the NFC, Tampa. They've still got 178 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: a couple of tough games left Dallas. Here's what Dallas 179 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: has next. The Broncos, the Falcons. Oh, the Falcons were 180 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: so bad. Chiefs Raiders are plucky Saints, but then they 181 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: close Washington Giants Washington and then another Cardinals and Eagles. 182 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: They haven't played Washington yet, Taylor Heineke, have you guys 183 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 1: watched that ship show. I mean, Washington takes some money 184 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: every week. I don't know who these people are betting Washington. 185 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: Sorry to my boy Dan who bet Washington. I've tried 186 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: to tell you guys, this is an unbettable team right now, Okay, 187 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke does not know what he's doing, and the 188 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: Broncos tried to hand them that game. I don't want 189 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: to go to in depth, but like you know, Heineke 190 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: throws a bad interception late, you think it's over. Melvin 191 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: Gordon fumbles like a play later and you're like, oh 192 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: my gosh, Taylor Heneke has a chance, But does he 193 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: really have a chance? No, he doesn't um. So it 194 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: was like a backup quarterback weekend. I haven't even got 195 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: to my main man, Sam Donald getting the cover and 196 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: then oh, by the way, he gets knocked out of 197 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: the game, brutal ahead to hit the turf. I'm like, oh, 198 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 1: p J. Walker, do I have to um? I think 199 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: you're overriding sense around in the league. Right now has 200 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: to be the best team in the NFC. And this 201 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: is not like a super duper hot take. Right now, 202 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: just again, right now, things change right this second November one, 203 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. You can make a case for the Rams. 204 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure some people will make really strong cases. I 205 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: do like the Rams a lot. Let me just remind 206 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: you they have one win over a team with a 207 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: winning record Tampa Bay. And I know you can only 208 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: play who's in front of you. But let's not get 209 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: too excited about the last three weeks. You stomp the Giants, 210 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 1: you choke out the Texans, and you beat the Lions. 211 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: Now I know what you're supposed to do. Good teams 212 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: are supposed to believe no doubt. There was some doubt 213 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: left against the Lions. Uh, there was no doubt left 214 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: against the Texans. They led thirty eight. Nothing Houston is 215 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: so bad. And oh, by the way, my first bet 216 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: for week nine is already in the account and um, 217 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: you'll hear it at the end of the podcast. Best bet. 218 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: It may or may not involve Houston. That's all um, 219 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: the Rams and again they're playing total terrible offenses. Houston 220 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: offense terrible, Jared Goff clueless, Danny Dimes useless. Um. The 221 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: Seattle game was one that was interesting, but remember Gino 222 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: Smith came on late. So those are the quarterbacks they 223 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: face lately. What happened when they faced Kyler Murray? They 224 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: give up thirty seven points. You know. So I like 225 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: the Rams a lot. I right now, I think you 226 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: have to go Dallas number one in the NFC. I 227 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: think green Bay has to be in the mix. I 228 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: know people don't want to give him respect because of 229 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: the injuries to defense. Uh, Davante Adams is out. All 230 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: they do is keep winning. I mean, you can doubt 231 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: them if you want. I'm done betting against and doubting 232 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: the Packers. I'm done. Uh, Arizona is still up there. 233 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: Rams up there, But like those are the clear cutt 234 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: best teams. I don't I don't think Philly can make 235 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: a move. Despite their impressive win. By the way, Philly 236 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: three and five for a team with a losing record, 237 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: they along with the Seahawks, have a positive point differential 238 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: three and five by the way, positive point differential um, 239 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: and the best team in the a f C. Buffalo 240 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: has looked lethargic. Uh the last couple of weeks. You know, 241 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: Baltimore's gonna buy I really owe the Tennessee Titans and 242 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: apology and UM, I don't know if you need me 243 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: to like say it here via email, snail mail, whatever, 244 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: but I was wrong about the Tennessee Titans. Um. I 245 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: keep betting against them and they keep costing me money. Um. 246 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: One of my few losses on the weekend was Tennessee 247 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: and I I just I don't have a grip on 248 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: this team, folks. Yeah, did they get lucky that Carson Wentz, 249 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: who hadn't thrown a pick in five games, throws a 250 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: pick six in the fourth quarter and then another win 251 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: in overtime. Ryan Danniel wasn't great. Derrick Henry rush for 252 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: sixty eight yards And by the way, all these guys 253 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: love to talk about Derrick Henry blah blah blah, Derick Henry. 254 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: He did nothing against the Chiefs. He averaged two point 255 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: four yards per carry against the Colts, did not have 256 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: a carry of ten yards. Derrick Henry goes back to 257 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: back games, um where they where they had the big wins. Like, 258 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: I think we're seeing a slower version of Derrick Henry 259 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: at this point. Just file that away. But a J. Brown, 260 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: not slow, ten catches a buck fifty five and a touchdown. 261 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: So Rob, I'm not saying that this is my Super 262 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: Bowl matchup. I'm just saying right now, week nine and 263 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: things do change, it feels like the Dallas Cowboys are 264 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: the best team in the NFL. That's a little bit 265 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: of a hot take, you know. I'm a little bit 266 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: of surprised that that's where you would go on that one. 267 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: Not because I don't think the Cowboys are good, because 268 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: I think that they are one of the upper antional teams, 269 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: but because your case for them is, while who have 270 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: the Rams beaten? You know? Who have the Packers beaten? 271 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: You know? And if you look at the Dallas Cowboys schedule, 272 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: they gotta win against the Chargers, which I thought they 273 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: came out of that one very lucky with the charging down. 274 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if they punted in that game. You know, Eagles, Panthers, Giants, Patriots, 275 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: and now the Vikings. So what is that one team 276 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: over five hundred and then that team is only one 277 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: game over five. So I don't know if if you 278 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: know who they've been is necessarily what makes them the 279 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: best team. I will say the case for them though, 280 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: just as it is with the Rams and the Packers, 281 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: who to me, I think are the the three teams 282 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: that have a legitimate case right now to be the 283 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: best team in football, is that they've shown that they 284 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: can beat you in a number of different ways. And 285 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: it started on Thursday with the Packers. They're down all 286 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: their receivers I think something like eleven starters overall. From 287 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: what they're opening, they starters should have been and they 288 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: ran the ball, ball control offense, play enough defense, make 289 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: enough plays. They win the Rams. Every other week they 290 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: win a different way. Like I know, Stafford's numbers are big, 291 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: but you know that game against the Lions and that 292 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: was the defense coming up. You know, there has been 293 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: a couple of games where it's been a Darrell Henderson 294 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: show and Matthew Stafford is kind of just along for 295 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: the ride, he gets a you know, inside the five 296 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: yard line Cooper Cup touchdown. But it was really the 297 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: running game that did it. And for the first time, 298 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: I think all season with Dallas, you know, last night 299 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: we saw them lean on the defense. You know, Cooper 300 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: Rush was not good in the first half. I know 301 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: that his sounding stats at the end look good, you know, 302 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 1: but defensively is where they hung their hat last night. 303 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: They they did something that I would have been shocked 304 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: if you would have told me before the season that 305 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: they've been able to do, and that is to win 306 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: a primetime game leaning on their defense. I thought that 307 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: our friend calling Cowherd had a great tweet talking about 308 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: how Micah Parsons was the best athlete on the field 309 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: and a field that's full of great athletes, including jeff 310 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: and Jefferson, including you know, I mean like he he 311 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: was awesome. And if the Dallas Cowboys can continue to 312 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 1: win when they don't have their high flying offense, you know, 313 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: throwing the ball over the field when they have they 314 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: have to run the football because teams are daring him 315 00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: to run it like what Philadelphia did a few weeks ago, 316 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: then yeah, they gotta absolutely have a case to be 317 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: the best team in football because there's not one way 318 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: you can attack them. Justin Jefferson against I don't know 319 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: how much against was Trayvon was just against Trayvon Diggs. 320 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: Four targets to catches twenty one yards and Michael Parsons 321 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: living in the backfield four tackles for loss. Dallas defense 322 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: will be getting DeMarcus Lawrence back soon. Guys, They're only 323 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 1: going to get better. The Cowboys are fascinating. And I'll 324 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: just add this, um Dallas Cowboys the whole America's team thing. 325 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: And I did this. I don't know if I didn't 326 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 1: on this pot or this Saturday show back when I 327 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: used to do the radio show. But it really became 328 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: America's team in the nineties when the Internet started to explode, 329 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: just as Aikman, Emmett and Irvin were taking off and 330 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: every house was getting cable TV in the nineties. I 331 00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: didn't get cable to the late eighties, and even then 332 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: my parents wouldn't let us to watch some stuff. But 333 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: when you look at how they became America's team as 334 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: America's getting Internet and cable TV, and you know, uh, 335 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: sport Dallas was ascending and they were dominant. And if 336 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: you were in bum f Montana or middle of nowhere 337 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: Nebraska and you needed a football team and you're watching 338 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: highlights of this dominant team, Yeah, everybody's gonna like the Cowboys. 339 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: Why do you think everybody likes the Bulls? Same deal. 340 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: In the nineties, Jordan took over, Like, that's why everybody 341 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: is a Chicago Bulls fan. That's why Michael Jordan they 342 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: claimed the best. I know that's sorry to bring that up. 343 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: I know it's a source subject for many, um, but 344 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: this is why Dallas is America's team. And honestly, guys, 345 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: the TV ratings for Sunday and Football are going to 346 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: be enormous, even with Cooper Rush and even with Halloween. 347 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 348 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox sports 349 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: Radio dot com and within the I Heart Radio app 350 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: sir F s R to listen live. We're not going 351 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: to do a ton on the World Series, which is 352 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: going to a game six. But I also would like 353 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: to point out, uh, well, let me get one more 354 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: thing before we get to college football. Just one more thing. Um, 355 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 1: I totally a team that I just absolutely do not get. 356 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: I don't understand this team, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and I 357 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,479 Speaker 1: will totally take an l um. I just need to 358 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: ask urban Meyer, like, what are you doing, dude? You're 359 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: down twenty four nothing, there's like three minutes left. You 360 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: score a touchdown to go down. Okay, you go for 361 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: two to cut it to a eight. You're still only 362 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: a two score game. Urban Meyer kicks the extra point, 363 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: so that's like, Okay, that's freaking dumb. Okay. He compounds 364 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: that by going for an onside kick, Like, yeah, you 365 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: gotta go for an onside kick, but it makes sense 366 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: if you're down, Oh, you need the onside kick. They 367 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: kicked the onside kick. The guy picks it up and 368 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: runs it back for a touchdown. The urban Meyer, I 369 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: don't know how much heat he's gonna be taking. And 370 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: I mentioned this. I don't know if it was on 371 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: this pod or on Coward Show, maybe Friday's Pot. Rookie 372 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: coaches historically off the by are awful in the last 373 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,479 Speaker 1: like three or four years. I don't know what it is. 374 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 1: And there were two this weekend. Urban Meyer was one 375 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,440 Speaker 1: of them. You're like, oh, extra week to prepare for Seattle. 376 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: I mean they were down nothing. They had nothing, no offense. 377 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: It was garbage in the first half. And um, the 378 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: other rookie coach was Brandon's Daley again off of by 379 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: at home, like Chargers, What the hell happened? They were 380 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: great on the script early and then you went off 381 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: the script and they had nothing in Belichick won that battle. Um, 382 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 1: I guess that. Lastly, before I get to college real quick, 383 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: I need to engine this Jameis Winston thing, because this 384 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: kind of stinks for Winston. It sounds like it's gonna 385 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 1: be a season ending ankle injury that will be announced, 386 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: uh in short order. And yeah, we're all gonna give 387 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: Trevor to me and props, Yeah, definitely. But Jamis Winston 388 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: was bawling against the Bucks early. I have to say 389 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: I was totally wrong about this guy. Sean Payton needs 390 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: more credit. By the way, unbelievable stat Sean Payton in 391 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: his last thirteen games as an underdog is eleven or 392 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: two straight up, straight up. He's winning games as underdrug, 393 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: not even against spread, and he won another one is 394 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: a five and a half point dog. Um. I don't 395 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: know how he did it with Trevor sime and honestly, uh, 396 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: they have no run game to speak of because nobody 397 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: can run on the Bucks. Oh wait a minute, Jami's 398 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: had forty Ingram at seven, Kamar at sixty one and 399 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: they go over a hundred fifty on the ground. And 400 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: then through the year it was like Kevin White, Yeah, 401 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: that's the guy Kevin White who was like the first 402 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: rob pick of the Bears. It's like, really somebody named 403 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: Garrett Griffin. Uh, they had touchdown past to a guy 404 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: I literally have never heard of Alex Arma. There's zero 405 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: chance any fantasy team has him. He's out of a 406 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 1: college name West Georgia. Again, he's a fullback. Like Sean 407 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: Payton is needs way, way, way way more credit. That 408 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: dude is an awesome coach. Can you imagine if Sean 409 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: Payton were coaching like the Cleveland Browns or the Arizona Cardinals, 410 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: teams with awesome rosters. UM Saints just don't have the 411 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: skilled position guys and they continue to win five and two. 412 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: I was wrong to my two big preseason withs um 413 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. I didn't think they'd be playoff worthy. 414 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: I didn't see it, and I thought Jacksonville would be 415 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: better than they are. Uh. My best one so far. 416 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: I knew Miami was gonna be hot garbage. I knew 417 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: Arizona was going to be good. Um, and I like Stafford. 418 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: Remember I I said Stafford when he goes to the 419 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: Rams makes them one of the Super Bowl favorites, and 420 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: he could be the m v P favorite. I think 421 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: right now, if you are looking at the m v 422 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: P voting, Justin Herbert's fallen off. I think Patrick Mahomes 423 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,120 Speaker 1: has fallen off. I don't think Derrick Henry is gonna 424 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: get two thousand yards. I don't think he's gonna have 425 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: a chance. Dac misses a game, Um, Tom Brady takes 426 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: an now, but he's still in the mix. It's gonna 427 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: write it right now. It looks like it's gonna come 428 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: down to Stafford or Rogers again, pending change. I wanted 429 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: quickly before we get the best bet, talk about college football, Rob. 430 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: We haven't done a lot, but it is. The calendars 431 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: turned to November and we're getting close to the first 432 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: UH playoff seeds are going to be announced, and I 433 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: think I'm already starting to get nervous that they're gonna 434 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: screw Cincinnati. And I know you're like, Jay, why do 435 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: you care about Cincinnati? Well, first of all, I liked 436 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 1: their quarterback. I think like their head coach. By the way, 437 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: he's going to be in the mix for the USC job. 438 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys are aware of that. I I 439 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: really feel like the playoff needs them in it. Yes, 440 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: I get it. Georgia's a lock. No matter what happens 441 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 1: in the SEC title game, Georgia is getting the playoff. Okay, 442 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: this is where it gets difficult. Who are the other three? 443 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: Now we are getting expanded playoff, Let's not panic. Cincinnati 444 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: has a legitimate resume and I don't want to hear 445 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: the J Jerry Bearcats are gonna get destroyed. They played Indiana, 446 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 1: solid big ten team, beat him on the road, played 447 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: Indie play Notre Dame beat them on the road, and 448 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: they've not quite molly whopped, but they've basically beat the 449 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: crap out of almost everyone else they've played. The problem 450 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: is they only have one more resume builder, and that's 451 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: against s m U. Let's hope they don't lose that 452 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: uh later this month. That being said, I mean, folks, 453 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: Oklahoma is not good, Ohio State is not very good. 454 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 1: Alabama is going to be the SEC title game, and 455 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: this is where it gets crappy. So Rob, if Alabama 456 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: faces Georgia for the SEC title and Alabama wins, you're 457 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: not keeping Georgia out of the playoff. And now Alabama's 458 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: got to be in the playoffs. So those are two 459 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: And you really think an undefeated Oklahoma he's getting left out? 460 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 1: Do you really think Ohio State, if they win the 461 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: rest of their games and win the Big Tang title, 462 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: is getting left out. Michigan State right now undefeated. I'm 463 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: not even gonna mention Wake Forest just stop um. But 464 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: Michigan State, now their schedule, Uh, they should should be 465 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,959 Speaker 1: able to beat Purdue Perdue. We know UH took down Iowa. 466 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 1: They can be feisty. We'll see, it's the week after 467 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: a rivalry game. Let's be careful. Uh, they will beat Maryland. 468 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: But Michigan State still has to go to Ohio State 469 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: and Penn State. So now the question becomes, can Ohio 470 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: State run the table? And you know, Nebraska, Purdue, Michigan State, 471 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: Michigan Like, I don't if all those teams go undefeated, 472 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: like college football, this could be a weird one. I'm 473 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, I am all in on Cincinnati. 474 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: I think they will go undefeated and pull it off, 475 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: and they better be in the frigging playoff or I'll 476 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 1: be pissed. Um. I don't think Oregon as a case. 477 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 1: Cincinnati beat Notre Dame. I don't want to hear about 478 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. And you know, basically it's there's you've got 479 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: one spot, and I think you're gonna have two teams 480 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 1: fighting over it. I'm sorry, but I'm putting Georgia and 481 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,719 Speaker 1: Alabama in the playoff. And then it's like, how do 482 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 1: you shut out undefeated Oklahoma from the Big twelve. I 483 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: don't think you can. Yeah, it's just it's not happening. 484 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: So that's three in the last spot. If Ohio State 485 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: doesn't lose again, are they really getting are you leaving 486 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: them behind? So to SEC Oklahoma, Ohio State and Cincinnati 487 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: undefeated is going to get shafted. It's just it's setting 488 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: up that way. Rob. I don't know how much you 489 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: care about college football, but I this started to hit 490 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: me Saturday morning when I woke up. But I was 491 00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: doing some reading. You know what, I think you're right, 492 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 1: and it's funny to say that. You know, you mentioned 493 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: I don't know how what can make about the college 494 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: football I actually watched more college football this weekend than 495 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: I did NFL sole help, you know, just guys, weird scheduling, 496 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: you know, with the family, you know how that goes. 497 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: But um, you know, Ohio State, I'm assuming they're gonna 498 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: win out. I think they're gonna beat Mississippi Michigan State 499 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: in the second to last game. Ohio is not that 500 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: good though, d No. But here's the thing. They're gonna 501 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: have a win over a one loss Michigan State team. 502 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: They're gonna have a win over We're gonna say what 503 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: a two loss, three loss Michigan team. They're gonna win 504 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 1: the Big Ten championship and their only loss, i'm assuming 505 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: is going to be to the Pact Wall champion Oregon. 506 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: That resume right there is better than anything Cincinnati can 507 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: put together. And unfortunately, just being undefeated is not good 508 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: enough these days. It matters who you beat when you 509 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: beat him and Cincinnati because they play in a bad conference. 510 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: And again we're assuming if Alabama loses Georgia. This is 511 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: the main point, because they'll get in anyways. But we're 512 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: assuming that Alabama is going to right the ship and 513 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: Nick Saban's gonna put one on Kirby Smart and the 514 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 1: Boys at the end of the season. So here's the 515 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,959 Speaker 1: day way. Let me ask to loss Alabama? Are they 516 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: getting left town? They're not getting in, They're not getting in. 517 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now, I don't want to see 518 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: one loss. Oklahoma over Alabama. Oklahoma is not good. Well 519 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: I'm going based on your premise, like you said, Oklahoma, Okay. 520 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: So if Alabama loses, though, then there's not a question 521 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: because then Cincinnati will be in. Do you know what 522 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 1: the outrage is gonna be like if Cincinnati gets in 523 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: over two lost Obama? Although Alabama lost is I think 524 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: there was like nineteen point favorites against a m which 525 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: was unranked at the time. Tough scene from my guy, 526 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: Nick Saban. Let's have to cry him off to sleep 527 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: with his what is it? Twelve other national championships? A 528 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,480 Speaker 1: couple of other notes before we get to h the 529 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,959 Speaker 1: best bet Number one? How many ted Lasso costumes did 530 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: you see? Well, Tricker Treaty. You know what's funny is 531 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: I've never seen ted Lasso because of seen enough people 532 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: who know what it is. At least like fourteen or 533 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 1: fifteen the most popular costume, and so it's like people 534 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: that were with like, oh yeah, that's another that's also 535 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: ted Lasso cast. Come yeah, my brother texts me from Pennsylvania. 536 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: Look at this ted Lasso. I'm like, dude, I've seen 537 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 1: fifteen of them this week. There's just so many of 538 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: them out here. That's like the number one costume. I 539 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: rocked my old Cobra guy that I wore last year 540 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: and not that cool, but I didn't. Sorry, I dropped 541 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: the ball getting dressed for Halloween. What else did you 542 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: see any other good outfits? Um? You know what? I 543 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: I spent some time in Disneyland on Saturday with the family, 544 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: and that's how that's how I was able to watch 545 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: so much college football because you're waiting in line. I 546 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: got my power bank phone chargers, so I'm just watching 547 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,959 Speaker 1: a lot of college football. But there were some great 548 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: like themed family costumes that I didn't see in a 549 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: lot of places. Like I don't know if you've seen 550 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: the movie Ratatui, but there was like a kid who 551 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: was the rat and the parent was the the chefs. 552 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: Like that kind of stuff was pretty cool, you know 553 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: they but like there was a lot of those kind 554 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: of things where I'm like, oh my gosh, this is 555 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: not just you know, a couple, this is a family 556 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:10,719 Speaker 1: of seven. This is great. So my my, Uh, we 557 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: had four soccer games this weekend. I know you guys 558 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: don't totally care, but we coached against the ted Lasso 559 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,959 Speaker 1: Saturday and listen, I know this is so nerdy, but 560 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: like my daughter's team again recap, we won zero games 561 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 1: last year. We have almost the identical team we've had 562 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: its second, third, and fourth grade girls. We won zero games, 563 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 1: all second graders last year, all third graders this year. 564 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: But we traded. Unfortunately, we had to. We lost one 565 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: girl and swapped in a different one and we're awesome 566 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: this year. We only lost one game and we played 567 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: like one of the really good teams and we smoked him. 568 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: They had Ted Lasso as their coach and it was 569 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: it was maybe the best Ted Lasso I've seen. I 570 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: don't know the guy, other people know, and uh we 571 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: we poured it on him in the fourth quarter. And honestly, 572 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: like Rob, I don't I know your daughter is not 573 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: playing sports yet. Guys, I'm just telling you, if you're 574 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: if your kids on a good team and you have 575 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: a bunch of cool parents, who you're friendly with. It's 576 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: an awesome experience. I mean, our sideline was erupting. I mean, listen, 577 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: there's an outside chance we win, we win the region 578 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,719 Speaker 1: or whatever. Um, but I'm getting over my skis my 579 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: son's team. You know, we haven't we know some of 580 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 1: the parents, but it's just a different vibe. You know. 581 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: It's awesome when you're you know, get crushed every game, 582 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: when you're I joked to someone at Halloween, it's almost 583 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: like we are like, this is gonna sound so ego 584 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: to the Fab five. Do you guys remember the Fab 585 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: five comes in and they had that early season game 586 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: against Duke and it was like, oh my gosh, the 587 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: Fab five is ridiculously good. Webber. That was like there, 588 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: there was like a December game, go look it up 589 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: on YouTube. It's really like, oh, here's a bunch of 590 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: freshmen and they're doing well and they push like a 591 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: top five Duke with laterner and then they get to 592 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: the final four and they lose, but they all come 593 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: back for the sophomore year, and that was the year. 594 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 1: I was like, all right, this is the year. It 595 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: feels like this is the year for us. I don't know, 596 00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: we'll see but um four soccer games Halloween NF thell 597 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: college football folks, I'm going to drop this before we 598 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: get the best bet. Final thing. I'm gonna try to 599 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: go no alcohol for the month of November. I don't 600 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: think I'll make it to Thanksgiving. Um, but I just 601 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: started a push up challenge with some guys to try 602 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: to do one push ups in a row without stopping. Rob, 603 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 1: Do you think you could pull off a hundred in 604 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: a row? I? I know I can't, but this apparently 605 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: if you practice this for multiple weeks, it's like a routine, 606 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 1: you will be able to do it. I think that 607 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 1: would be a cool accomplishment. Yeah, you know, I think 608 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: that's a big deal. Let's get to the best bet 609 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: on straight fire. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports 610 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows 611 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: at Fox sports Radio dot com and within the I 612 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: Heart Radio app search f s R to listen live. 613 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: The only thing better than sitting on your couch watching 614 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 1: the game. He's making money, will do it. Here's your 615 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: best bet? Alright off the winning week in the NFL's 616 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: up and down in college not great, not bad. Um, 617 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 1: Monday Night football is on the docket. I almost feel 618 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: like I should probably start betting NBA regular season games. 619 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: I'm doing a one game and night with a couple 620 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: of guys, um Vic who joined Fox and then Ryan, 621 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,880 Speaker 1: who joined the New York Post. We've been we have 622 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: tex change going back, um, probably three years. We tried 623 00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: to bet the NBA every night. Now, obviously listen during 624 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: NFL season is tough because there's NFL games. It's on Sunday. 625 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 1: We're passing Saturday. People have lives. College football is tough 626 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: to always get an NBA. But, um, I think I'm 627 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: gonna start looking more at NBA. But for Monday night football, 628 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick with this one. I don't have a 629 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: great side on this. Ten and a half like an 630 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: awful number. Um, it seems like case money is probably 631 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: gonna hit the market today. I would assume that goes up. 632 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: I know the Giants show well on the road under 633 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 1: Danny Dimes, and I am facing Danny Dimes in fantasy. 634 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 1: I lead by like something like thirty points. If he 635 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: somehow beats me, I'm going to be devastated. Um, I 636 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,879 Speaker 1: would I would seriously look at the over here. Um, 637 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: the Giants offense gets back Tony and I'm telling you guys, 638 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: this kid is electric. Um he was dinged up since 639 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 1: that Saints game where he exploded and hasn't done much. 640 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 1: So I would look at any car Darius Tony props 641 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 1: because they're still banged up everywhere else. And you know, 642 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: as much as you want to make the case for 643 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: that slot receiver who has taken off for them just 644 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: a little bit, there really isn't a lot. Dante Pettis 645 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: is his name. There isn't a lot of talent. So 646 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: if you're looking at props, I would look at Cadarius 647 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: Tony overs and this to me feels like a Giants 648 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: don't get too many stops. Chiefs thirty three, Giants twenty four. 649 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 1: So I would look at the over. It's come down 650 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: a little bit. It was it opened at fifty four 651 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: down to fifty two. I just don't like a side. 652 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you could see Dan the Dimes coming in 653 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,720 Speaker 1: the back door against the Chiefs who can't stop anybody. 654 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: Although one of the quirkiest stats probably of the NFL 655 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:13,280 Speaker 1: month of October. Last month, um, the last two games, 656 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,680 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have given up zero points. Bizarre, uh the 657 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: absolutely you know they were down two zero to the 658 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: tight nothing under. The Titans didn't give up anything in 659 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 1: the second half. I mean, it's just absolutely bizarre. I 660 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 1: don't trust either of these teams right now. Trust a 661 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 1: big thing. As we head into UM week. What is 662 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 1: this nine? I'm looking at the lines as they populate here, 663 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,800 Speaker 1: a lot of injuries, a lot of backup quarterbacks. The 664 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: only two that kind of sort of jumped out is 665 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 1: I just don't know how Cincinnati is a favorite over Cleveland. 666 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 1: I just don't get that Bengals coming off a double 667 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: double digit favorite against the Jets lose by the way. 668 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: Um the Bengals offense, high, high flying offense like Jamaar Chase. 669 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: I guess he wasn't interested in showing up for that one. Um. 670 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:09,400 Speaker 1: The defense just got eviscerated by Mike White. Just stunning 671 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 1: and their favorites now, I know Cleveland is laid some 672 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: eggs and the offense is really sputtering. Jarvis Landry's having issues, 673 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,480 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham's hurt. Seemingly every week, UH defenses are keying 674 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: on Nick Chubb Baker's hurt. I just don't know if 675 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 1: the Bengals really should be favored in this matchup. This 676 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: feels more like a pick um. And yeah, I'm not 677 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: giving the Bengals of respect at home that some I'm 678 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,800 Speaker 1: sure we'll say they deserve. That. Being said, it should 679 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 1: be noted that the Cincinnati Bengals this season at home 680 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 1: beat the Vikings in overtime, and they lost to the 681 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: Packers but covered the spread. I think it was three 682 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: and a half and that. And they did go on 683 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 1: the road and beat the Ravens, but then they went 684 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 1: on the road and lost to the Jets. Now, after 685 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: three straight home games are three straight road games, how 686 00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,920 Speaker 1: do you do when you return home? There is the 687 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: arie and you gotta we gotta check in these databases. 688 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: But if you go on a long NBA road trip 689 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: and you return home, usually there's that I'm back to home. Oh, 690 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: I get to see my family and my friends and 691 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,600 Speaker 1: get back into my routine. And there is usually a 692 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: bit of a struggle in that first home game. I 693 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: know in the NBA that a lot of people have 694 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: won betting that strategy. After the long, like six game 695 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: road trip, if everybody thinks they're going home, the perception is, oh, 696 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna be fine, They're going home. Usually there's a 697 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: bit of a letdown, maybe first half, but I would 698 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 1: that's one of the two games I will be looking again. 699 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,240 Speaker 1: I've bet the Browns way too many times this season. 700 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 1: They continue to cost me money. They're a team I 701 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 1: just do not understand. Another line, that's crazy Philadelphia Eagles. 702 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 1: Um are giving a field goal to the Chargers. What 703 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 1: are the Chargers done in the last couple of weeks 704 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 1: to earn being favored by a field goal in the road. 705 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,879 Speaker 1: I think Philly is gonna take some money there. That's 706 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: a crazy line to me. And then you've got Arizona 707 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: off Thursday night game extra rest. I think you automatically 708 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,960 Speaker 1: have to bet San France just based on La Murray. 709 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 1: And it sounds like this injury and again no inside 710 00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: information here, it sounds like when you read between the 711 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: tea leaves, Kyler is definitely dinged up and he hurt 712 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:14,280 Speaker 1: the ankle against Green Bay. It didn't it wasn't really 713 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: running that well. I would just monitor that. But the 714 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 1: the other one game that I did bet, I'm sorry, 715 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: I laid a field goal. I'm sorry I touchdown. I 716 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: laid a touchdown with the Miami Dolphins favored by seven 717 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,160 Speaker 1: Houston on the road. Now, if Tyrod Taylor starts. I 718 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: may have. I don't know if i'd buy out of it, 719 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 1: But again, we're talking about a Houston team on the road. 720 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: The last three games, they've scored like eight points two 721 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: field goals in the safety. I believe there. I mean 722 00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: they're getting throttled. The defense look like a quit against 723 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: the Rams, like total no show down, thirty eight nothing. 724 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,839 Speaker 1: They just weren't even trying even and to can move 725 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: the ball if I mean, if guys are catching passes now, 726 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 1: I mean when you see Wattle catch four of twelve 727 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,320 Speaker 1: targets for twenty nine yards, like, what the hell is 728 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 1: going on here? At any rate? That's one game that 729 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: I'm financially invested in. But otherwise, um, I'm just looking 730 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: at the over in Giants k C. And then I'll 731 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: drop some props on the I G stories. All right, guys, 732 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:08,800 Speaker 1: have a great Monday. Talk to you tomorrow.
