1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: Welcome, players, Welcome. It's time now Penny the Penny. It 2 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: is Benny versus the Penny. Week thirteen in the NFL. 3 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: Now we are smack dab in the middle of this 4 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: on the fifth hour with Ben Mallory. We already had 5 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: three games that were playing on Thanksgiving. He had the 6 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: Bears and the Lions, the Bills and the Cowboys, and 7 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: the Saints and the Falcons. So rather than talk about 8 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: those games, we have to look forward. We don't look back. 9 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: We look forward. Now we can look back to last weekend, 10 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: because when I do well, I like to look back. 11 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 1: And this podcast the keeper of the penny is the 12 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 1: annoying narcissist David Gascon as he is with me. You know, 13 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't say much on this podcast, but I guess 14 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: goan last week. How did we do against the spread 15 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: against the number where that's separate rates the adults from 16 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: the children. How did we do against the spread in 17 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: week twelve? You can also call me a good looking 18 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: and charming You can do that if you'd like I was. 19 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: If I was blind in death, I would say that 20 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: you've finished ten and four in a week. Numbers twelve 21 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: of the National Football No need to clap guests, Scoon, 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: there's no need to clap their ten and four. That's 23 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: a seven fourteen winning percentage. Do we hardest goes? What? 24 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: What thing do we shine the penny in in postseason football? 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: Or will you? Will you dip your toes into that? 26 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: I know Weeks seven teams a little cautious. Um, yeah, 27 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: I usually don't do a Week seventeen because it's horrible. 28 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: There's only a couple of games where both teams are 29 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: trying and I find it repulsive. So I my advice 30 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: is always not to bet on Week seventeen. So I 31 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: don't even know if we're gonna do it for Weeks seventeen. 32 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: But and the other thing is like I usually just 33 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: did Benny Versus the Penning on the radio, but we 34 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: could do it on the podcast. I just don't think 35 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: we can do a standalone podcast with one or two games, 36 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: you know what I'm like, While our weekend we could 37 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: probably do it because there's four games on a wild 38 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: card weekend, but then it quickly, uh you know, it 39 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: whittles down pretty quick in the playoffs. Well, can we 40 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: test your your Benny versus the Penny metal and and 41 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: dip our toes into the bowl season of college football. Uh, 42 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: we could do some of that. I'd be I'd be 43 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: open to that, but it has to be like, uh, 44 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's gotta be I'm not doing the Weed 45 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: Either Bowl or the Bahamas Bowl. It's gotta be like, 46 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: I'll do a few of the big games, the the 47 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,519 Speaker 1: grand daddy of them all, the Rose Bowl and the 48 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: BCS playing there. They're called the BCS. The college Football 49 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: playoffs set up and all that. Yeah, we could do that. 50 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: I'll keep you away from any kind of Mac or 51 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: Mountain West activity, Uh, any kind of Independence Bowls or 52 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 1: anything like that, so we can we can do that 53 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: because right now we have Ohio State, l s U, Clemson, 54 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: and Georgia as your one through four, and the playoff 55 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,519 Speaker 1: rankings that they stay as is. It should be a 56 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: nice set up as we get ready towards. Uh. Here's that. 57 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: I will show you my vast knowledge of college sports, 58 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: and uh, I will impress, I will impress the masses. 59 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: All well, let's get to it. It is again Week 60 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: thirteen in the NFL, the first game up for us. Now, 61 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: before we give you the games, a disclaimer, UH, this 62 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: is for entertainment purposes only unless you win, uh, then 63 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: you must tip the dealer if you win. Uh. And 64 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 1: also this is designed to give you. We're giving you 65 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: a lot of opinions on these games. So I always 66 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: tell people who are new to the podcast, the the 67 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: Benny versus the Penny version, that what you really should 68 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: do is wait, it handicapped the game yourself. And if 69 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: I agree and you agree, you do your own homework. 70 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: And if if our thoughts line up on that game, 71 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: that's a game you should probably bet on. So that's 72 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: that's how we should do. Is We'll start out with 73 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: Green Bay eight and three at New Jersey. They're playing 74 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: the Giants. It's on Fox. You better watch. Are we 75 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: doing the Dick Stockton game this week? Yes, but that 76 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: is not the game. Uh No, it is not the 77 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: Dick Stockton game. That is a Tom Brennaman Chris Spielman game. 78 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: And the Packers opened up a seven and a half 79 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: point favorite. They're favorite by six and a half. The 80 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: forecast in the Tri state area calls for thunderstorms thirty 81 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: six degrees at kickoff at met Life Stadium in the 82 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: swamp Lands of New Jersey. The pick is in. I'll 83 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: be taking the Giants in this game. Now, a couple 84 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: of thoughts. A Matt Laflare the coach at green Bay. 85 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: I believe he on the sidelines. He did not have 86 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 1: green Bay Packer gear. He was wearing a hazmat suit 87 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: last weekend watching the Packers melt down against the forty 88 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: Niners and that Sunday night game that was a placement 89 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: test game. And it appears green Bay has to repeat 90 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: the third grade. Now, obviously this is a much easier opponent, 91 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: but Green Bay was not ready to play, and they 92 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: were not ready to play in both games in California. 93 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: And it's an odd thing with the Packers because they 94 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: have this gaudy aden free record. Aaron Rodgers has eighteen 95 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: touchdowns and two interceptions, and yet the eyeball test says 96 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: he's leaving some money on the table. He's not playing 97 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: as well as he could play. And just for example, 98 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: Sam Donald in particular, Sam Donald has been a better 99 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: quarterback on the road this season than Aaron Rodgers. So 100 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: I thought that was that was interesting. This game is 101 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: a road game. You've got the growing pains of Daniel Jones. Lately, 102 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: Sequon Barkley has been a shell of what he had 103 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: been because of injury, but he's still playing. I'll give 104 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: him credit for that. But the main reason I like 105 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: the Giants despite all that the public is on green Bay. 106 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: The professional gamblers, the ones that are supposed to know 107 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: and bet the most, there on the side of the Giants. 108 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: Now green Bay is over rated. Uh, the Giants are 109 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 1: a bad team. But there's value here, all right. There's 110 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: value that the home team, Packers have not played well 111 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: in the road recently, and you're getting almost a touchdown, 112 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: so you have the possibility of a backdoor cover in 113 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, which is exactly what the Giants did 114 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: against Chicago last week. So I am taking the Packers 115 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: to win, but the Giants to cover. Packers twenty, Giants seventeen. 116 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: And the Penny is going with the New York Giants. Alright, 117 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: So the Penny piggybacking my work. They're knowing that I 118 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: am a great prognosticator. That's what more about age versus beauty. 119 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: I think since you're the elder statesman, Deepenny relies on 120 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: you going first, and then she goes. I think the 121 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: term for that is a copycat. That's a copycat. Dependis 122 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: a copycat. Next up Washington at Carolina. The Redskins are 123 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: two and nine, Carolina is five and six. It's on CBS. 124 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: This game not a Fox game, even though it's two 125 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: NFC teams. They've done that a few times this year. 126 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: It's Greg Gumbel and Trent Green at CBS. Now Carolina 127 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: opened a nine point favorite. They're favored by ten. It's 128 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: typical late November weather and the Carolinas light rain, temperatures 129 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: in the mid sixties that kickoff at Bank of America 130 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: Stadium in Charlotte. I am gonna pick the Carolina Panthers 131 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: in this game. I'm gonna do it now. Dwayne Haskins 132 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: has not only been a quarterback, he has been wretched. 133 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: And I love the story last week that he was 134 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: celebrated in some circles for getting his first win as 135 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: an NFL quarterback. He was taking selfies with fans and 136 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: all that Haskins had in that game against the Lions 137 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty six yards passing, no touchdowns, an interception. 138 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: His passer rating was below fifty and yet the perception is, well, 139 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: he's the winning quarterback, he must have played well. Uh. 140 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: Now they're even making excuses because he's been tremendously inaccurate 141 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins, who was pretty accurate at the Ohio State University, 142 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: and now some people around the Redskins are saying that 143 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: he's got this phantom wrist injury. I'm skeptical. Washington simply 144 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: cannot compete against an average or above average team with 145 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: this incompetent quarterback. The way Haskins is playing. I believe 146 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: Haskins will eventually be pretty good, but he ain't pretty 147 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: good right now. This is a non starter. Plus, the 148 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: Redskins mission statement is to lose, to suck, and to blow. 149 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: They can't be winning back to back games here. They 150 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: can't now. The other thing, and the only concern I 151 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: have is Carolina, because Carolina, on my mind, they are 152 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: on fumes. They showed more fight against the Saints last week. 153 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: But are they gonna come out deflated and and just 154 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: go through the motions and play lethargic football because their 155 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: season is pretty much over there not making the playoffs now. 156 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, he had sucked for several weeks. He was 157 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: a puke, and he came out of the penalty box 158 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: and he played his first good game in several weeks. 159 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: He had three touchdowns in the Bayou and and did 160 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: a solid job. And if if he plays anywhere close 161 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: to that this week, Carolina wins this game by at 162 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: least twenty one points. Now, if the Panthers lose, Ron 163 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: Rivera should be fired on the spot to lose to 164 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins at home. Panthers thirty one Redskins. Penny's gots 165 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers.

Alright, 168 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: so we agree on that kind of defeating the purpose 169 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: of Benny versus the penny. If it's a year ox 170 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: copy every time. Next up, Santa Clara tennant one. This 171 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: is the game of the year in the NFL. Santa 172 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: clar A tenant one Baltimore nine and two. It's on Fox. 173 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: So you better watch who's calling this game. You think 174 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: it's a Dick Stockton game. No, I think this is 175 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: a Kevin Burkhard game. That is correct. It is Kevin 176 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: Burkhard and Charles Davis have the call. In the early 177 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: television window. I'm guessing the NFL wishes they had moved 178 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: this to prime time. They did not. This would be 179 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: a game you would expect to see in the late 180 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: TV window at the very least. But it is an 181 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: early one o'clock kickoff in Baltimore. The Ravens. Prior to 182 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: Monday night game, we're favored by four and a half. 183 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: Baltimore is now favored by six points. In this game. 184 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: You got a ten in one team against the nine 185 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: and two team, and the nine and two team is 186 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: favored by almost in touchdown. The four forecast at MNT 187 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: Bank Stadium, the House that Sports with Coleman built rainy 188 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: and forty three degrees at kickoff in Baltimore, the pick 189 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: is in. I'm painting for gold with the forty Niners. 190 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the forty Niners in this game. Now, 191 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: First of all, this should be a slobber knocker. The 192 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: Ravens are the darlings of the NFL. We all know 193 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: that for the recent performance, a deservedly so. It's one 194 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: of the great runs we've seen in NFL history. It's 195 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: such a dominant run it reminds me of the greatest 196 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: show on turf of the old St. Louis rams back 197 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: in the day. But it's not like the forty Niners 198 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: have been shop liver here in mince meat. They've been 199 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: turning teams into mince meat all year. They're the real McCoy. 200 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: So it's the number one defense for the forty Niners 201 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: against the most lethal dual threat quarterback who's been clicking 202 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 1: on all cylinders here in Lamar Jackson, who's got a 203 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: ridiculous sizzle reel. So what happens? You got the unstoppable force, 204 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: meaning the immovable object. We're gonna find out. I believe 205 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: the forty Niners are the right side here. Now. The 206 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:16,079 Speaker 1: second thing, the real pressure is on Garoppolo, Jimmy Garoppolo 207 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: and the Niners running game collectively corroborative effort. They've got 208 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: to come out in what figures to be soggy conditions 209 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: in Baltimore play with the league right, come out early 210 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,359 Speaker 1: in the game. We saw this before with Cleveland. Baltimore 211 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: style of play lends itself to being a front runner, right, 212 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: meaning that if they fall behind, that eliminates the dual 213 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: threat that puts the kabbash on the running game. They 214 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: then have to scramble with throws to try and get 215 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: back in the game. You know, people are overreacting a 216 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: wee bit to the Monday night game because of the 217 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: Ramps did not show up in that game. And the 218 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: Ravens are the same team that lost to Cleveland at home, 219 00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: then the same team that had to go to overtime 220 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: against the Baltimore Ravens. So it's it's not like that 221 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: this team is invincible. They're hot right now if you 222 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: believe in such things. They lost one of their key 223 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: offensive line in their centers out for the year in 224 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: the Rams game. The forty Niners got George Kittle back. 225 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: That's huge as he returned to Santa Clara's lineup. And 226 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: at the time we are recording many versus the Penny, 227 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: it sounds like Matt Brita and d Ford a couple 228 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: of other key players could be back either way. Uh, 229 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: you got a ten in one team with the number 230 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: one defense and that great defensive line that should be 231 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: able to bottleneck the running game and and all that. 232 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: Getting over six points. You gotta be kidding me. I'm 233 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: gonna take that every day of the week as certainly 234 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: gonna take that. This is one of my better plays. 235 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: The forty Niners not a fraud. They will square the circle. 236 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: They will find the cheat code to Lamar Jackson Niners 237 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: Ravens seven in a Classic, and the penny is Got's 238 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: cheat sheet. It is San Francisco for the one. Be 239 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: sure to catch live editions of The Ben Miller Show 240 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: wheat days at two a m. Eastern eleven pm Pacific. 241 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: Wait wait, wait, so we've done three games here so far, 242 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 1: so good. All right, you should be happy about this. 243 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: You finished ten four last week. You were gloating about 244 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: your performance. You don't know how hardiness go over and 245 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: win games. You need to win fifty five percent to 246 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: make any kind of profit and gambling. Blah blah blah 247 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: blah blah. You should be happy about the penny. Well, no, 248 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: it's it's just not exciting. And people like when we disagree. 249 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: But fine whatever, I fine, we agree, I'm right, so 250 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: as always I'm right. Next up, now, this is another game. 251 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: This is a game that Lucas Oil Stadium is a dome. 252 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: It's gonna be cloudy and forty one degrees outside the 253 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: dome in Indianapolis at golf of this game, the Colts 254 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: are the pick. I'm gonna take Indianapolis. Now, this is 255 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: the game. Originally, when I first looked at the game, 256 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: I was leaning towards Tennessee. But the I started crunching 257 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: the numbers, and I started looking at the different angles 258 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: to this game, and and then I realized there's a 259 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: dense fog advisory around the Titans. And so I'm gonna 260 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: be on the home team here, the Colts. And I'll 261 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: tell you why I don't trust Ryan Tannehill. Period hard 262 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 1: stop right and Tannehill right now is playing above his skis. 263 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: He's leading the NFL in the yards for attempt, He's 264 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: completing over seventy of his passes. This is the last 265 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: quarterback to do it is Joe Montana. This is an 266 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 1: out of body experience. However, I'm not drinking the kool 267 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: aid yet for two reasons. Number one, I believe these 268 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: are hollow numbers. Why because Ryan Tannehill has beaten up 269 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: a bunch of lightweights, hasn't done it against a good 270 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: or above average team. The Colts are a much better test. 271 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: They're a better team than anyone he's faced so far. 272 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: And the second thing here is that if you look 273 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: at the track record of the Dolphins career of Ryan Tannehill, 274 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: before he got to Tennessee. And this tells you what 275 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: has happened, doesn't tell you what's gonna happen. But Tannehill 276 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: would have occasional games where he looked amazing and it 277 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: would give this false hope to the Miami fan. But 278 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: we we dubbed this thing gas on the Tannehill to step. 279 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: You know what the Tannehill too step is. This is 280 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: similar Ryan Fitzpatrick. Right, you do something good, then you 281 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: throw a bunch of I N T s next game. Well, 282 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: it's a dance move. It's you take one step forward 283 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: and two steps back. And that's what Tannehill has done. Right, 284 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: he'll have a masterpiece and then he'll come back and 285 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: he'll have a reversal of fortune. Now, sometimes he has 286 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: a couple of masterpieces and then he follows it up 287 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: with three pieces of of feces that you know, just projectile, 288 00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: vomit all that. So that's that's a concern. Secondly, uh, 289 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 1: it's not perfect. Its bets not perfect, because any is 290 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: still a mash munit unit. They are the guys, the 291 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 1: key players, several of them are out. The backups have 292 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: done a pretty good job. But let's not go overboard. 293 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: Here they still don't have Marlon Mack. They don't he's out. 294 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: Eric Ebron's gone the tight end, so it is up 295 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: to the replacements. Here. They're gonna have to run the 296 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: ball because Jacoby Brissette struggles to throw the ball. But 297 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: I like the coltst Dave Roberts would say, I like 298 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: the Colts in this spot, coming off a loss to 299 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: the Texans, having extra time to prepare. Frank Reich is 300 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: the better coach. So if it comes down to the 301 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, close game, I'd rather have Frank wright Uh 302 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: in the game than Mike rabel And and plus the 303 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: public is all over Ryan Tannell. If he was a musician, 304 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: they'd say he's Mozart. I don't believe he's Mozarty. This 305 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: is a a key game. I will go with the 306 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: grit and the moxie of the cold to muck up 307 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: the game too. Muck it up and they will win 308 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: ugly yet again, but they will barely buy the skin 309 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 1: on their chinny chin chin cover the spread Indianapolis twenty 310 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: three and the Tennessee Titans twenty The penny is gone 311 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: with the Tennessee Titans.

It is Kenny Albert who 334 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: has the call should have gone, you should have gone 335 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: behind curtain number one. That's a bad job by you. 336 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: Guess guy, what did he? It's odd because normally Kenny 337 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 1: Albert does every Giant's game, or or if they occasionally 338 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: get a Jets game. But yeah, he's doing. Dolphins Eagles 339 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 1: in beautiful Miami now Philly open attend They actually opened 340 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: a seven and appoint favorite. The line is all the 341 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: way up to ten. It's gonna be sunny eighty degrees 342 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: at kickoff at hard Rock Stadium in Miami with a 343 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: bunch of dudes from South Philly in the Delaware Valley 344 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: who will infiltrate Miami. I'm gonna take the Dolphins in 345 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: this game, and I know that's against popular opinion. I'll 346 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: be the contrarian here. A couple of thoughts. At first, Lance, 347 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: I agree that the Eagles should win this game in 348 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: a cake walk. But very few things have gone easy. 349 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: Very few things have gone easy for the Birds. Their 350 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen offense is field goal or punch. That's the 351 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: offense of the Philadelphia Eagles this year. Carson Wentz has 352 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: been in a nick. His numbers are not bad. But 353 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 1: check this out. Twenty two games, last twenty two games 354 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is started, the Eagles have a losing record. 355 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 1: They're ten and twelve with Carson Wentz as their quarterback 356 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: the last twenty two games. The Eagles are lacking playmakers. 357 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: They are lacking the wow factor Carson Wentz. Now they're 358 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: making excuses saying he's got a mangled hand. These are 359 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: not positives when you're talking about a double digit point spread. 360 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: Now I'm not here advocating. Secondly, for the Dolphins. They 361 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: have so many issues. They need more than therapy. They 362 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: probably need to be institutionalized in the Miami Dolphins. But 363 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: but this is more of a bet against Philly than 364 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,479 Speaker 1: it is a confidence play on Miami. And I like 365 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: to look at the psychological part of gambling. The Eagles 366 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: are coming off too high profile games against the Patriots 367 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: and the Seahawks games in Philly, games they lost, and 368 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: now now they are playing the Dolphins, a team nobody 369 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: gets up for. Plus they have the distraction of South 370 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: Beach and you're leaving Philly where it's forty degrees or 371 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: thirty five degrees, are going to Miami where it's eighty degrees. Uh, 372 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 1: so you have a chance, not a lot of opportunity, 373 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: but a night to get into some debauchery. But double 374 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: digit home doogs and being willing to bet on bad 375 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: teams has been a very good formula to win some 376 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: money over the years. The public almost always prefers road 377 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: favorites instead. I like to go against the public. So 378 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Philly to win. But to not cover 379 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:44,160 Speaker 1: Eagles twenty four Dolphins twenty you stubborn bathroom. You never 380 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: learn your lesson, and Penny is picking the Eagles. Fly Fly, 381 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: fly fly right into weed Man's house there in South Florida. 382 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 1: Al right, next up Tampa Bay at Jacksonville. It's on Fox. 383 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: You better watch four and seven, four and seven the 384 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: records here? Who's calling this game? Is this? You've already 385 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: lost the Dick Stockton game. But is this the Dick 386 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 1: Stockton game? That is correct? This is the Dick Stockton 387 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: Mark Flare game. So you didn't win, but you came 388 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: close to winning the Dick Stockton game. And this game open, 389 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: how about this line? Do you see the line movement 390 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: on this Jackson Jacksonville open a four and a half 391 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: point favorite. They are now favored by one one stinking point. 392 00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 1: At t i a a bank field in Jacksonville, be 393 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: cloudy and seventies seven degrees at kickoff cloudy and seventy 394 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: seven degrees. I'm taking Tampa Bay in this game, and 395 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: and I'll walk you through how I got the Tampa 396 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: Bay Alright, Ay, this is the Sunshine Bowl. Whoever wins 397 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: this game wins the bragging rights for Florida because the 398 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: Dolphins are worse than both these teams. Uh. Now, I 399 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: saw it where Jacks coach douglall Ron says that Nick 400 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: Foles gives his team the best chance to win, so 401 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: that's why he's starting Nick Foles. Let me, I would 402 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: like to translate that, Yes, can I have a Dakota ring? 403 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: What he left out, Doug Moron was the end of 404 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 1: that sentence. There should be a COMMA at the end 405 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: of Nick Foles gives us the best chance to win, 406 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: Comma because we are paying him fifty million dollars of 407 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: guaranteed money. Because that's really why Nick Foles is starting. 408 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: If it was based on performance, he would not be 409 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback here. Uh, that's just the reality. Jackson 410 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,719 Speaker 1: has been outscored seventy five to thirty since Nick Foles 411 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: came back from injury to the starting lineup. Keep in mind, 412 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: though that doesn't sound that bad, I guess being outscored 413 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: by forty five points, twenty one of those points came 414 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: in garbage time. So with Nick Foles in competitive football, 415 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: they've only gotten three field goals. Jacksonville has I cannot 416 00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: bet on the Jacks until Nick Foles either improves or 417 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: or minshoe Mania returns Gardner Minshew comes back as the quarterback. Now. Secondly, 418 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 1: on the flip side, you've got Jameis wins Now. We 419 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: talked about him on the radio show. He is a 420 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,120 Speaker 1: case study on being really good and really bad at 421 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: the same time. Right, is the glass half full? Is 422 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 1: the glass half empty? He is unpaced to throw for 423 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: close to five thousand yards a gazillion touchdowns, and at 424 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: the same time he's leading the NFL in interceptions, and 425 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: he's a turnover factory. So all those interceptions dismantle all 426 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: the goodwill that the passing yards and the touchdowns provide, 427 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: and it really harpoons the Buccaneers chances of winning most 428 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: of the time. They did beat Atlanta last week. The 429 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: other factor is Tampa based defense is atrocious. Despite all that, again, 430 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: I want to quote Dave Roberts. I liked the Bucks 431 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: in this spot. But it's get more to bet against 432 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: Nick Foles than it is to take take advantage of 433 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: of anything else. You've got to really go against the 434 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: incompetent Nick Foles. I don't even think the Buck's defense 435 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 1: is gonna make him look good. Buccaneers thirty four, Jags twenty, 436 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: and the Pangs on the opposite way. Going to Jaguars 437 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: on this one, Going with Jackson, all right. Next up 438 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: the New York Jets at Cincinnati. It's on CBS with 439 00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: Spirodidas and Adam Archiletta. Now, the Jets opened a three 440 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. They are still a three 441 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: and a half point favorite in this game. It'll be 442 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: partly sunny and fifty degrees that kick off at Paul 443 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: Brown Stadium. The O and eleven Bengals the four and 444 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: seven Jets. I am gonna side with Mr oh and 445 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: Elevin here. I'm gonna take the Cincinnati Fungals in this game. 446 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why, all right. I understand things have 447 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: been rolling along for the Big Green machine there in 448 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: all phases, by land, by air, by water. It is 449 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: amazing seeing what playing bad teams can do for your confidence. 450 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: The Jets are the NFL's number one defensive yards per 451 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: game the last three weeks. They're ahead of the forty Niners. 452 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 1: They're ahead of the Ravens, They're ahead of the Pacers. 453 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: There ahead of everybody. You toss in the fact that 454 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: Sam Donald is no longer dealing with motto, he's no 455 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: longer seeing ghosts. I guess the ghostbusters came in and 456 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: figured all this out, and you see why the Jets 457 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: fans are excited. The last three weeks against the Giants, Redskins, 458 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: and Raiders, Sam Donald has seven touchdowns and one interception. 459 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: He's averaging over nine yards per attempt. That's great, but 460 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: the law of averages say he is due for a regression, 461 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: even against the bad team. And in the second thing, now, 462 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: the Bengals are a total ship show. I am not 463 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 1: gonna sit here and and say anything different, but if 464 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: you look at what they did. They originally benched Andy Dalton, 465 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,959 Speaker 1: they brought in Ryan Finley. Now, Ryan Finley has been 466 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: such a nebbish, he has been so incompetent. He's had 467 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: such reckless disregard for his ability to play quarterback that 468 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 1: Cincinnati was forced to go back to the red rifle. 469 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: This is dysfunction junction. What is your function? Is what 470 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: it is? So it's rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Uh. 471 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: Now that said, this is a big opportunities, a brass 472 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 1: ring situation for Dalton. He gets another opportunity. Think of 473 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: this is a casting call, an open audition for Dalton. Really, 474 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: not for the Bengals because they're gonna draft some quarterback 475 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: with the number one pick, But for Dalton, Dalton, they 476 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: get a job somewhere else to get an opportunity to 477 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: compete for a starting job. Of Philip Rivers retires in 478 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: in l a. Or or to go to Pittsburgh of 479 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:51,239 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger's out. The public is all over the Jets, and 480 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: that has me running for the Hills. The Bengals at 481 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: least have a puncher's chance. They certainly have a shot 482 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: with Andy Dalton to hang around. And the Jets, I 483 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: still don't believe they should be favored by over a 484 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 1: field goal against anyone. I liked my home dogs, Our 485 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: Jets twenty three, Bengals twenty one that's a cover for 486 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: Cincinnati and for the one that got away. I will 487 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: see the penny taking the New York Jets, Jets Jets 488 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: thirty four points in the last three victories. Then keep 489 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: rolling with that. Yeah, well, all good things come to 490 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,720 Speaker 1: an end. All good you will learn that lesson that 491 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: the front running all right? Next up Cleveland five and 492 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: six at Pittsburgh six and five. It's on CBS. I 493 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 1: An Eagle and Dan Fouts have the call. This game 494 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: opened Pittsburgh by three. The Browns are favored by two. 495 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: The weather calls for light rain forty six degrees at 496 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: Hines Field in beautiful Pittsburgh. I'm gonna take the Steelers 497 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: in this game. Mike tomlin Is is right now like 498 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: a circus clown juggling quarterbacks. You've got Mason Rudolph gone 499 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: to the bench. Now Duck Hodges is taking over. I 500 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,920 Speaker 1: love the whole redneck back story, the ridiculous name, the 501 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:16,320 Speaker 1: duck calling. But instead of chicken fingers, I guess he 502 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: eats like raccoons stew or something like that. But can 503 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: can the guy play? I I don't know that the 504 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: jury is still out on whether or not you play 505 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: the Steelers offense is gonna be dumbed down here. They 506 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: have been even with Hut. They've been running a dumb 507 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: down office for a couple weeks. But but they've been 508 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: like the ox in the ditch. You know what. They 509 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: can't get out of it. You're in a ditch, you 510 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: can't get out of it. This is a revenge spot 511 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh against the team they traditionally beat, who they 512 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: lost to just a couple of weeks ago. And you 513 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: have that cloud of bad blood hanging over this particular game. 514 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: The second that the Browns they're still getting this sugar 515 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: rush from feasting on all these cupcakes. Do they now 516 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: choke on a little piece of banana cream pie on 517 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: the road. The bookmaker knows the public is all over 518 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, so they have to cover themselves and 519 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: they have to, you know, cover their losses. And they 520 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: have the Browns favored by two. This is a five 521 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: point line disparity, meaning again Pittsburgh should be favored by 522 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: three in this game. Instead you're getting five points because 523 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: the Browns are favored by two. I just don't agree 524 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: with that, the thinking that that Cleveland's all in. I've 525 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: been on Cleveland several times. I've bet against Cleveland several times. Listen, Uh, 526 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: look at this. The Browns picked up five points and 527 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: all they did was play the Dolphins in between the 528 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: last time they played the Steelers and Miles Garrett eight 529 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: playing you'll go be bashing people over the head somewhere else. 530 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: But he ain't gonna show up in Pittsburgh. Uh So 531 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: we don't even know if Duck Hodges is that bad. 532 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: He could be fine. As I said, it's it's an 533 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: open question. But just when you think Baker Mayfield has 534 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: turned the corner, that's normally the time a trapdoor opens 535 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: up and you fall into a pit of flames. So 536 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: Cleveland should win the game, but they should not be favored. 537 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: And Pittsburgh traditionally even with bums at quarterbacks, but a 538 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: very good home team Steelers seventeen. Brown's sixteen penny gun 539 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: with the Cleveland Browns and Bernie cos Are Birdy Cosa. 540 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 1: I think Ozzy Newsom's gonna have a big game. I 541 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,479 Speaker 1: believe that if you go downlast Webster Slaughter could be 542 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: the key of that. What about Dante Stalwarth it's more 543 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: of a newer generation Brown player. I just don't keep 544 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 1: him out of the driver's seat. You'll be alright, right, 545 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: dirty days manslaughter, it's reasonable. All right, let's go to 546 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: Oatland six and five at Kansas City seven and four. 547 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: Notice that we're not we're not getting trivia this week. 548 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: That's uh, that's a good job by you. Well, it's 549 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving week and I just wanna I want to expedite 550 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: the process game. And I know, I know you. You 551 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 1: probably have something to do. You've got to go talk 552 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: to some corporate muckety MUCKs or do some stupid conference calls. 553 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:18,479 Speaker 1: So we'll we'll just expedite the process. We'll get we'll 554 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 1: get trivial next week. Okay, can we get trivial next week? Sure? Ye? Alright? 555 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: Oakland six and five Kansas City seven or four. It's 556 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: on CBS with Jim Nance and Toe Knee row Bow. Now, 557 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 1: the Chiefs open at eight and a half point favorite. 558 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: They are favored by ten at Arrowhead Cloudy in thirty 559 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 1: eight degrees at kick off at Arrowhead Stadium. I'm taking 560 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: the Raiders in this game. Now. I know public perception 561 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: has shifted and people whatever they see they think is 562 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: gonna happen again. And the Raiders played like dog crap. 563 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: They played like dog piss against the Jets in the 564 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,959 Speaker 1: blink of an eye, right, the Raiders. If they just 565 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:00,920 Speaker 1: squeaked out and win against the Jets, this would have 566 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: set up the epic a f C West Game of 567 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: the year, right underdog story of redemption the football Orphans 568 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: their last year in Oakland before they go to Vegas. 569 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: But now since they lost to the Jets, it's the 570 00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: same old Raiders. Now, I'm not gonna tell you they 571 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 1: didn't play like mongrels in that game. They actually did 572 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: play like mongrels, not only in that game, but the 573 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 1: game before which they squeaked out a win against the 574 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. They played like vermin in that game also, 575 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: So there's a couple of dud performances by the Raiders here. Uh, 576 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 1: they had no pulse in the game against the Jets. Now, 577 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,680 Speaker 1: this is a late game, it's not an early game. 578 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 1: It's against the traditional division rival. But there is a 579 00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 1: saying in sports wager, and it's also said by football coach, 580 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: if you get caught in a trap game, which is 581 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: clearly what happened that the Raiders were peeking ahead at 582 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: Kansas City, if you get caught looking ahead in the 583 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: peek a boo, then you've gotta in the game you 584 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: were looking ahead to. And even though this is not 585 00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: as sexy matchup because the Raiders lost, if the Raiders 586 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 1: win this game, they will still be tied with Kansas City. 587 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: And you know, Oakland will be seven and five, Kansas 588 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: City will be seven and five at the end of 589 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: play on Sunday, So it's still a big game. Secondly, 590 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. I know some people love 591 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,359 Speaker 1: them because they had a bye week and they had 592 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: to little see Esta in Mexico against the Chargers. But 593 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,360 Speaker 1: Kansas City did not impress me in that game. They 594 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: were fortunate to beat the lowly Chargers, and that is 595 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: with Philip Rivers throwing all those interceptions. Now, now that 596 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is the flavor of the month, Patrick Mahomes 597 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,239 Speaker 1: has to take a back seat in the pecking order 598 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: of NFL quarterbacks, but he could certainly return some market 599 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: share here if he has a big game against the 600 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 1: Raiders and treats them like silly puppy. I understand Kansas 601 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 1: City is getting some guys back. The Chiefs should win 602 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:02,920 Speaker 1: this game big. What I happen to love double digit dogs. 603 00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,399 Speaker 1: And what do I always say when you get over 604 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: a touchdown in a divisional game? You don't ask questions. 605 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: You take the points. The Raiders have to kick knee, 606 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: elbow poked the Chiefs in the eye. Uh to get 607 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: that cover, that backdoor cover. I believe it will happen. 608 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: Chiefs thirty four, Raiders twenty six. Penny also in agreement 609 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: with you and go with the Opalanda Redda's all right. 610 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: Next up on Penny versus the Penny the l A Raiders, 611 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,640 Speaker 1: actually the Raiders the l A Rams. Oh boy, why 612 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: that cover? L A Rams at five? There's a throwback 613 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: to like the eighties and early nineties, the l A 614 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 1: Ram six and five at the Arizona Cardinals, who are 615 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: three seven and one. It's on Fox and a Man 616 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: that's part of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association. A 617 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 1: proud alumnus Chris Myers along with Darryl Moose Johnson to 618 00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,319 Speaker 1: have the call. All now. The Rams opened a three 619 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. They're favored by four in 620 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 1: this game. The weather, it's gonna be sunny fifty nine 621 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: degrees at kickoff at State Farms Stadium in Arizona and 622 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna surprise you guesscan I as an as an 623 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 1: active charity. I am gonna take the guy riding the 624 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,919 Speaker 1: short bus. Yes, I'm gonna do it. I'm doing it now. 625 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,800 Speaker 1: Now for before you say I'm a prison of the moment, 626 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,880 Speaker 1: It's not just because the Rams got steam rolled by 627 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: the Ravens on Monday night. Unless it is just because 628 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,879 Speaker 1: the Rams got steam rolled by the Ravens on Monday night. 629 00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,799 Speaker 1: You have the perfect storm working against Los Angeles. You've 630 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,919 Speaker 1: got the distraction of Thanksgiving weekend. You have them as 631 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: a road favorite against the team they traditionally beat, an 632 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:56,399 Speaker 1: opponent that you do not get up for. You are 633 00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: coming off an emotional prime time loss where you were 634 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:05,360 Speaker 1: emasculated by Lamar Jackson. Look like you should be playing 635 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 1: pop Orner football instead of the NFL. All of these 636 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 1: things are working against the Rams. From the psychology psychology 637 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: part of gambling, Sean McVeigh had no answers to Lamar Jackson. 638 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,040 Speaker 1: This is the kind of neutering that takes place the 639 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: the and Lingers. Uh. The Ravens have the Rams balls 640 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,359 Speaker 1: on a shelf somewhere in Maryland right now. Uh, good 641 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: luck getting back that back the Rams are a more 642 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: talented team. I believe they are a better team than 643 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:42,240 Speaker 1: the Cardinals, and all things being equal, they should absolutely 644 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: win this game. But when you handicap a game, you 645 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,799 Speaker 1: gotta look at all these other things and all of that. 646 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: Every box is checked against the l A Rams right there, 647 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 1: they're they're getting close to give up mode. It looked 648 00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,040 Speaker 1: like they gave up against the Ravens. Now. Secondly, you 649 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: are what your record says you are. The Cardinals are 650 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the NFL. So this 651 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 1: is not a confidence play on Arizona Kyler Murray. As 652 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 1: we have pointed out, we're the only ones to do 653 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 1: this because we're the grown ups here. This guy's been 654 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: a Mama Luke Alright, his numbers are misleading. He's fatten 655 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,240 Speaker 1: up his stats and games the Cardinals were way behind, 656 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: and and so you know, he's not as good as 657 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 1: his numbers. In a kay even though his numbers aren't 658 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: all that good. The Cardinals defensively are a football atrocity. 659 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 1: They are second worst to the oh and eleven Bengals. 660 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,040 Speaker 1: And yet even with that, I still believe that Jared 661 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:41,800 Speaker 1: Golf will be flummix going against Arizona the last three games. 662 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,520 Speaker 1: Golf has no touchdowns, five interceptions, and a passer rating 663 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: below sixty. There's no way on God's green Earth that 664 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 1: I am gonna bet on the Rams until Jared Goff 665 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,320 Speaker 1: either gets benched. I'd rather bet on Blake Bortles or 666 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 1: he proves that he is not a fraud. Give me 667 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:05,600 Speaker 1: Ale Gator Arms. Murray the oompa loompa of the NFL 668 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: Cardinals twenty Rams seventeen. Penny likes the way you think 669 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,040 Speaker 1: and go with the up and coming Cayler Murray and 670 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. You love, you love Shorty. You your 671 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 1: favorite movie was Get Shorty Right? That was? I think 672 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:29,360 Speaker 1: you have vastly under estimated the power of Cayler Murray, 673 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: even in his rookie campaign. So he will. He will 674 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 1: not make you eat crow this weekend since you have 675 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 1: taken him and there's in the Cardinals. But he will 676 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:40,240 Speaker 1: surprise you when you're number two. Yes, you, You've always 677 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,239 Speaker 1: had a place for the pips weeak. You like the 678 00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: guy's barely bigger than a garden. Do you understand that 679 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: your pairs he can play? He has played, He's played 680 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 1: great this season he's played great. What I think I 681 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 1: watch football? Wait? Wait, wait wait you said the word great. 682 00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: You use the adjective great. I have I did I 683 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: want you as a teacher. If I had had you 684 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,000 Speaker 1: as a teacher, guest scout, I would have been a 685 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: I would have several degrees if I had had you 686 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: as a professor, and instead you have how many? I have? Zero? 687 00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 1: Not a hey, schmuck, I have agree from the streets, 688 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: streets of hard knocks, all right, I have, I have 689 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:28,120 Speaker 1: won the hard Marcus Mariota got benched. He had a 690 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,560 Speaker 1: higher passer rating than Kyler Murray has right now. Gardner 691 00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: Minshew also got benched. Guess what higher passer rating than 692 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray has right now. And according to David Gascon, 693 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 1: who clearly shows sympathy because Kyler Murray is a teeny 694 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: leeny eaty bitty little spider, uh you you feel bad 695 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: for him, and so as an act of charity, you're 696 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,719 Speaker 1: pulling for the guy who's small potatoes. He's got no 697 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: offensive line, he's got absolutely no running game, he's got 698 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,680 Speaker 1: very few weapons on the outside, and he has an 699 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 1: atrocious defense. Yes, I actually think he's a pretty darn 700 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 1: good quarterback in his rookie season, despite all that working 701 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,759 Speaker 1: against him, hold On said, I'm gonna play some music. 702 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,759 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I've got the world's smallest violin. I'm gonna 703 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: play that for Kyler Murray. Okay, can I do that? Yes? Yeah, 704 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,520 Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want. Yeah, that's right, all right, 705 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 1: go choke up some ravioli, all right. Next the l 706 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: A Chargers four and seven at Denver three and eight. 707 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: It's on CBS. Andrew Catalan and James Lofton have the call. 708 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 1: The Chargers opened and underdog Broncos were originally favored by 709 00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,880 Speaker 1: one and a half, but now the Charges are favored 710 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,840 Speaker 1: by two and a half. I don't understand this mostly 711 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:53,239 Speaker 1: sunny thirty five degrees at kickoff for your favorite NFL team. 712 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: Gag on, you love the Broncos who played in power 713 00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:00,640 Speaker 1: field at Mile High. I'm taking the Broncos. I'm riding 714 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 1: with the horses this week. Now. To me, this is 715 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,800 Speaker 1: an even matchup. The Charges of the NFL's two ranked team, 716 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: the Broncos of the ranked team according to Football Outsiders, 717 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 1: So two even teams. I don't understand how the Bolts 718 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 1: are favorite in this game. Denver traditionally has been a 719 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:19,800 Speaker 1: tough place to play. Uh, it's just all because Derwin James. 720 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: The safety is coming back to the charges. Are you 721 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: telling me a safety not not a quarterback. We're not 722 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 1: talking about a quarterback. We're talking about safety. That that 723 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 1: is why the charges are favored on the road. I 724 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,680 Speaker 1: don't get it now. Philip Rivers over the last four 725 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: weeks has not only been a quarterback. He has been 726 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 1: the thirty first ranked quarterback in a thirty two quarterback league. 727 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 1: He has been number four. He is aging before our eyes. 728 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: He has continued to be reckless. Seven interceptions the past 729 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 1: two games. He's also mixed in a couple of fumbles. 730 00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 1: He is as bad as any quarterback in the NFL. 731 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,400 Speaker 1: Right now. He's a hot mess. I've seen no evidence 732 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: that he's gonna turn this thing around. Everyone says, well, 733 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: he'll be fine, don't worry. He's never has three bad 734 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 1: games in a row. Okay, all right. The Bolts offensive 735 00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 1: line still blows. They still think, uh steak. And then 736 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:15,120 Speaker 1: you've got Vic Fangio, who's supposed to be a defensive wizard. 737 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,360 Speaker 1: He hasn't been so far. He's got his own quarterback 738 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 1: conundrum now, I would love the Broncos. This would be 739 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:23,919 Speaker 1: one of my better players of Drew Lock plays, because 740 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,360 Speaker 1: I think Drew Lock will be all right who have 741 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 1: some beginner's luck. He isn't likely to start this game, 742 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,360 Speaker 1: at least at the time we're doing the podcast, but 743 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 1: could come off the bench in relief. Brandon Allen is 744 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,280 Speaker 1: a limp noodle, is what he is. Right, he needs 745 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 1: a little blue pill. Uh he's lethargic. He's just he's 746 00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 1: a junior varsity level quarterback. He's not a starting quarterback. 747 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 1: And nevertheless, the value tholways on the Broncos because interceptions 748 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: create opportunity for an underdog. Denver will play a very conservative, 749 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,680 Speaker 1: close to the vest offense. Uh We talked about that 750 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 1: remedial game plan where you don't have a good quarterback, 751 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:10,359 Speaker 1: you just try to not make mistakes. And uh so 752 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,799 Speaker 1: I had a lot of swing passes, bubble screens, try 753 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,439 Speaker 1: to run, run early, run late, ground and pound all 754 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 1: that kind of football. So if you do that, you 755 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,080 Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over and you expect Rivers to 756 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,960 Speaker 1: have at least two interceptions. I'm taking the Broncos to 757 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 1: win the game outright. Denver twenty four The Chargers, and 758 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,560 Speaker 1: he was going with the Broncos as well. No surprise. Yeah, 759 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: you can't bet on the gun Slinger, the aging gun Slinger. 760 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: Not the way to go, not a good winning formula, 761 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 1: guest gun not at all all right, Uh, Next up 762 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:53,400 Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football, New England Tenant one at Houston, seven 763 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:59,080 Speaker 1: and four on and b C with Al Michaels and 764 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: Chris collins with you know Michael's I I know you 765 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:05,400 Speaker 1: saw this last night. Michaels did not call the NBC 766 00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,319 Speaker 1: game on Thursday night because he's so old now he 767 00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,279 Speaker 1: wants to enjoy Thanksgiving. So and I think he's only 768 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: in his contract he only works one game a week, 769 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,839 Speaker 1: and so he couldn't do both that game on Thanksgiving 770 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:18,760 Speaker 1: and the Sunday night game, so he chose the Sunday 771 00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,440 Speaker 1: night game in Houston and Collinsworth also did not do 772 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,680 Speaker 1: the game on Thanksgiving. Well, I'm gonna take I'm gonna 773 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 1: take the Patriots here that Patriots are three point favorite. 774 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 1: They opened four and a half, so small road favorite, 775 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,719 Speaker 1: clear and sixty degrees at kickoff in the Dome at 776 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,640 Speaker 1: NRG Stadium in Houston. Now, first of all, this is 777 00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:44,840 Speaker 1: another chapter in the teacher versus the pupil. Matchup of 778 00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:50,040 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's coaching tree. Belichick against Bill O'Brien, a disciple 779 00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,640 Speaker 1: of his, has. They've coached against each other five times. 780 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: Belichick is five and all. Now, some of those games 781 00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,960 Speaker 1: the Texans were bad. Many of those games the Texas 782 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,440 Speaker 1: were pretty good, had nice records like they do now 783 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,800 Speaker 1: seven and four record. In fact, Belichick that five and 784 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 1: old record is by far his best record against any 785 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 1: former assistant. This is a gigantic coaching mismatch. In fact, 786 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: Belichick against all of his former assistance has He's coached 787 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,279 Speaker 1: eighteen games. Against his former assistance, he's nine and nine, 788 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 1: So that means using mallar math. Against anyone other than 789 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,440 Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien, who used to coach on belichick staff, he's 790 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:34,160 Speaker 1: four and nine, but against O'Brien, five and oh. The 791 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:39,320 Speaker 1: one monkey wrench for the Patriots is Tom Brady's tender elbow, 792 00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:43,120 Speaker 1: which got extra treatment after the Cowboy game. But let's 793 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 1: be honest here, Ill. We love Brady, but the Patriots 794 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 1: also just try to win the turnover battle. They want 795 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:54,040 Speaker 1: to maintain offensive balance, but they also run a very 796 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 1: safe offensive game plan, which requires Belichick or Brady rather 797 00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,040 Speaker 1: to throw a lot of dump all off in short passes, 798 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,240 Speaker 1: high percentage passes. And Brady is so smart he rarely 799 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,439 Speaker 1: makes the wrong throw so he doesn't turn the ball over, 800 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,880 Speaker 1: he covers for his offensive line. Those are all reasons 801 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:14,440 Speaker 1: to like the Patriots in this particular game. Now. Secondly, 802 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,520 Speaker 1: the Patriots are going to have to repeat the script 803 00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,680 Speaker 1: from these recent games. Right they have to play a 804 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:24,520 Speaker 1: wonky plotting style of offense. As he said, limit the mistakes, 805 00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 1: hold on the ball while the defense can create some 806 00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:33,920 Speaker 1: turbulence against the Shawn Watson. There is opportunity here against 807 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,760 Speaker 1: the Shawn Watson. It is a formula that has stood 808 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,800 Speaker 1: the test of time for Belichick. Against these high flying, 809 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:43,719 Speaker 1: one dimensional teams Houston, they have to play at a 810 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,760 Speaker 1: frenetic pace in the passing game. They are a one 811 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,959 Speaker 1: trick pony. They struggle to run the ball. If you're 812 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 1: the defense, if you're the defensive coordinator and you know 813 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 1: that team struggles to run the ball, that sets up 814 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: a hyper aggress of defense, a chance to be a 815 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,680 Speaker 1: ball hawking defense because you know you're gonna be throwing 816 00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,359 Speaker 1: a lot the other team is that you can mix 817 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,000 Speaker 1: in some exotic blitzes and change it up and and 818 00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 1: just mess with Deshaun Watson. Uh so, yeah, I love 819 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:16,239 Speaker 1: the Patriots defense in this game. And and the other 820 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:17,960 Speaker 1: way to bet on the Patriots has a bet on 821 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 1: the defense. Uh the Texans with this style of play, 822 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,320 Speaker 1: it's either boom or bust. I'm expecting a lot of mistakes. 823 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:34,840 Speaker 1: Patriots twenty three the Texans sixteen. Man, the pay is 824 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:38,400 Speaker 1: gone with the turbulence of the defense and the Patriots 825 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 1: taken New England. All right? Next up, Monday Night Football. 826 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,520 Speaker 1: This is the last game, will wrap up the Turkey 827 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 1: Week edition of Benny Versus the Penny minuteso to eight 828 00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 1: and three at Seattle nine and two.

Yes, 832 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,040 Speaker 1: this is gravy on top of gravy, on top of gravy. 833 00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:11,480 Speaker 1: Yes it is. Uh, how many Thanksgiving cliche's will Joe 834 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 1: Tessa Tore throw out on the broadcast? Well we'll find out. 835 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,919 Speaker 1: But the line of this game Seattle open a three 836 00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,480 Speaker 1: point favorite. They are favored by three. It'll be cloudy 837 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 1: forty degrees that kick off at Century Link Field in Seattle. 838 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 1: Remember on the if you download the other podcast, the 839 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:34,520 Speaker 1: Mallard Man March and schedule to take place in Seattle. 840 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,480 Speaker 1: So I have a special place in my heart for 841 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:39,520 Speaker 1: the people of Seattle, the Mallard Militia, men and women, 842 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,720 Speaker 1: the p Ones that are holding this event on December 843 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,400 Speaker 1: twenty nine. More on that on the other podcast. But 844 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I gotta take the vikings here. As a gambler, 845 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,799 Speaker 1: I gotta take the vikings. I'll tell you why. In 846 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:55,000 Speaker 1: the past you would always bet against Kirk Cousins because 847 00:50:55,040 --> 00:51:00,319 Speaker 1: he was jinx in prime time games. I that was 848 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,239 Speaker 1: always the argument. The guy would be fine at one 849 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:09,080 Speaker 1: o'clock in the afternoon or noon Midwestern time, uh newon kickoffs. 850 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,439 Speaker 1: But but against the better teams in the prime time games, 851 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,280 Speaker 1: he's like, well, Cousins is two and oh this season 852 00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,560 Speaker 1: in night games. He put up an oil painting against 853 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:22,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys in Dallas not that long ago, and the 854 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,840 Speaker 1: one week spot Seattle has h to exploit here. And 855 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 1: the one thing that concerns me about the vikings is 856 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,840 Speaker 1: the butterfingers. Cousins has eight fumbles. He's only been sacked 857 00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:37,040 Speaker 1: twenty two times. Ball security. That can lead to a 858 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 1: big flip in what you handicap in a game. Now. Secondly, 859 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll check this out. Since he became the coach 860 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,280 Speaker 1: in Seattle back in almost a decade, there have only 861 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 1: been three quarterbacks that have won multiple games on the 862 00:51:53,800 --> 00:52:00,160 Speaker 1: road in Seattle. Only three Carson Palmer retired, Matt the 863 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,400 Speaker 1: Ice of the Falcons, and Jared Goff. Believe it or not, 864 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:08,760 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins has already won a game in the Pacific 865 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:12,040 Speaker 1: Northwest back when he was with the Washington Redskins. I 866 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,520 Speaker 1: believe it was in a couple of years ago in 867 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,880 Speaker 1: uh he can add his name to that that rare 868 00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:21,560 Speaker 1: list with a win here. The Seahawks have been playing 869 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:27,320 Speaker 1: Russian Roulette all season. They have been weaning by very 870 00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:32,400 Speaker 1: thin margins. Here they almost lost at home to the Bengals, 871 00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:36,080 Speaker 1: Bucks and Rams. It took a missed field goal by 872 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:41,440 Speaker 1: the Rams kicker there the Legatron character for the Rams 873 00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,560 Speaker 1: lose the Buccaneers. Some crazy things happened for Tampa Bay 874 00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:48,040 Speaker 1: to win that game, and the Seahawks were blown out 875 00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,280 Speaker 1: by the Ravens and uh in the Saints in Seattle, 876 00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:55,600 Speaker 1: they've got issues. Despite their GATTI nine and two record, 877 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,359 Speaker 1: it has not been smooth sailing for the Sea Birds. UH. 878 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,080 Speaker 1: They have problem they have problems in their secondary they 879 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,160 Speaker 1: have problems on their offensive line. You add on that 880 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:09,000 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer has been traditionally great when given extra time 881 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,359 Speaker 1: to prepare. That's what the Vikings have here. They were 882 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 1: on vacation last week. It all adds up from a 883 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,319 Speaker 1: gambling standpoint to take the Vikings. Now. Remember, I want 884 00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,360 Speaker 1: the Seahawks to win this game. I hope I'm wrong 885 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:23,800 Speaker 1: because that makes the Mallard Man March, Mallard Stock Mallar 886 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:29,000 Speaker 1: Palooza a much bigger deal December twenty nine. But Vikings 887 00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:35,920 Speaker 1: thirty three, Seahawks thirty your final penny looking at the 888 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:40,360 Speaker 1: magic number three and going at the Minnesota Games, and 889 00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,080 Speaker 1: that is it. We put the baby to bed gas 890 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:47,000 Speaker 1: On and I want the people to know too. Podcasts 891 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:52,440 Speaker 1: have dropped holiday weekend. The podcast machine does not stop 892 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:56,040 Speaker 1: showing you the great the determination that I have to 893 00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: come in and do this podcast. And I think the 894 00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,319 Speaker 1: audio quality on this better than any other. I guess 895 00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,360 Speaker 1: we've done so far. I'd have to agree part of 896 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:07,759 Speaker 1: that reasons because like a good lead, I have a 897 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,760 Speaker 1: voice that kind of masks the deficiencies of your pipes 898 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,080 Speaker 1: in the old and rotten age that you live in. 899 00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:18,000 Speaker 1: So um, I agree with you. It's well said. Yes 900 00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:23,879 Speaker 1: again David gascon proving he is the narcissist. Narcissist here 901 00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:28,320 Speaker 1: on the show, very superficial and whatnot there, And uh, 902 00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,200 Speaker 1: I think, well, in another life you were a prima donna, 903 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:35,200 Speaker 1: right as that was your job before prima donna. I hope. 904 00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,200 Speaker 1: I wish there was some kind of way to prove 905 00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,080 Speaker 1: that to would be nice to see what kind of 906 00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,400 Speaker 1: money I had back in an alternate life. But uh, 907 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 1: but yeah, right now I'm just living the American dream, dude, 908 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:49,400 Speaker 1: which is holding the water for Ben Mallory. Yeah, in 909 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,319 Speaker 1: life there are good guys and villains. I'm the good guy. 910 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 1: You're the villain. That's the way. Anyway, have a great weekend, 911 00:54:54,480 --> 00:54:58,719 Speaker 1: way back to the radio Sunday night into Monday, and 912 00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,400 Speaker 1: we'll catch you next time.
