Speaker 3: Huh?

21
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 7: Jared Jackpot by fest if you mean it's it's naptime

Speaker 7: because he just had his breakfast, so he'll be out

23
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 7: for at least the first hour of the show. Got

24
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 7: to be nice and quiet. Usually it's still dark here

25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 7: at the West Coast.

26
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 2: That's a that's a strong nap right there, strong day.

27
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 7: He is a professional napoff.

28
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 2: People. Let's dive right into the NFL. We got a

29
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: doubleheader today and the first game up is the Bengals

30
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: against the reeling Steelers. Here and the Steelers they are

31
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: three point home underdogs. Mason Rudolph gets the start. Mitch

32
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: Trubisky has been benched, who was rough the last couple

33
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 2: of weeks with Mitch as the starter filling in for

34
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: an injured Kenny Pickett. What are you guys thinking today

35
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 2: with Mason Rudolph going up against a Bengals team that's

36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: been really good as of late. But just when you

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: think it's it's too good to be true or too easy,

38
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: there's a little old tap on the shoulder, a little

39
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: reminder that the Bengals got worked pretty good in Cincinnati

40
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: earlier this season when these two teams faced each and

41
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: that was the first time in fifty nine games that

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: the Steelers reached four hundred yards of total offense. So

43
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: with that in mind, does that affect how you handicap

44
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: this game at all going in today?

45
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 4: Yes, it does, But at the same token, you have

46
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: to look at the current spot both these teams are

47
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 4: in because they're different teams than they were than when

48
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 4: they faced each other. When you look at the Steelers. Obviously,

49
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: heading into this game with your third string quarterback his

50
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 4: first opportunity to start this season is not a admirable.

51
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: Position of being.

52
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 4: And you could have said the same things about the

53
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 4: Cincinnati Bengals earlier in the year when Browning took over

54
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: for Burrow, but he's proven through three straight wins to

55
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 4: have kept the wheels on, if not at times impressed.

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 4: So the Bengals, really, at eight and six with playoff

57
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 4: hopes very much alive, have a completely different feel to

58
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 4: them than the Pittsburgh Steelers right now, who feel like

59
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: they're hurtling towards mediocrity in terms of their final record.

60
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 4: Maybe with a little luck they can make a playoff push.

61
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 4: Actually a lot of luck, they can make a playoff push.

62
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 4: But it definitely feels like luck is on the side

63
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 4: of the Cincinnati Bengals because what they've put together is

64
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 4: a more than impressive season defensively for some of the

65
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 4: injuries that they faced on that side of the ball

66
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: this season, and then from an offensive standpoint, especially how

67
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 4: bad this team looked with an injured Joe Burrow to

68
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: start the season. The fact that Browning has looked so

69
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: good at quarterback, means that the gap between he and

70
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow is much smaller than we initially thought. He's

71
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: kept the wheels on in a I mean to the

72
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 4: point where it gives you pause and you say, hey,

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 4: Zach Taylor's a hell of a coach.

74
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: Like either that or they've got a special player.

75
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: On the bench behind Joe Burrow one or the other,

76
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: and we're not sure which side of the coin that's

77
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 4: gonna land on yet.

78
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 7: I like Jake. I think Jake fits and I've been

79
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 7: asked this question a couple of times if if he

80
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 7: can continue to play up to the level that he has.

81
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 7: I think the answer is yes, because he fits the

82
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 7: system that Cincinnati's trying to run, which is doesn't try

83
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 7: to do too much, he understands the offense, and the

84
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 7: Bengals have a ton of weapons.

85
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 6: Now those weapons are a little bit depleted today.

86
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 7: No Jamar Chase, but the Steelers are missing basically everyone

87
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 7: at the free safety position. I think they're down to

88
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 7: Patrick Peterson at free safety today. So we'll see what

89
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 7: the what the what the secondary looks like for the Steelers.

90
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 7: No micka Fitzpatrick, even the backup of free safety is injured. Today,

91
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 7: but no Jamar Chase for the Bengals, So it's kind

92
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 7: of you know, you take a big piece of the

93
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 7: you know, big chess piece off the board there and

94
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 7: we'll see how both teams adjust. Joey Porter's probably gonna

95
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 7: see a lot of T Higgins, and he did a

96
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 7: good job last week. You know, I think overall Porter's

97
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 7: been been a pretty good player this year. Numbers kind

98
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 7: of getting close to three, and I think that's where

99
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 7: I depart Cincinnativille here. I bet since the early in

100
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 7: the week, and the number has agreed with it so far.

101
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 7: But I think now that we kind of hit three,

102
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 7: I'm a little bit hesitant to lay a full field

103
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 7: goal on the road with the Bengals here, but they

104
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 7: obviously have the check marks in their favor today with

105
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 7: the matchup and you know, the momentum. And I thought

106
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 7: last week was kind of the week that Pittsburgh was

107
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 7: gonna bounce back, right, coming off of two bad losses

108
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 7: to two bad teams. Facing the Colts, you know, fast track,

109
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 7: you would hope to get the offense going.

110
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 6: It didn't.

111
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 7: They scored thirteen points, they got blown out, and that

112
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 7: game was really never close.

113
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 6: So this is the season.

114
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 7: We'll see what kind of starts, you know, Mike Tomlin

115
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 7: can cook up. We'll see if this is one of those,

116
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 7: you know games where he cooks up one of those

117
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 7: magical recipes to get this team motivated.

118
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 6: But this is a tough spot to that.

119
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 7: I think this Bengals team's looking pretty pretty healthy the

120
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 7: last couple of weeks.

121
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: Well, I think that what you've seen from both teams

122
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: is the opposite of what you would think, at least

123
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: a lot of people would fall into that category here

124
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: where you look at Joe Burrow going down, you say, oh,

125
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: well they're cooked. Well, they've won three in a row,

126
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: and then you look at the Steelers on the flip side,

127
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 2: the Steelers were seven and four and at the time

128
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: it seemed like, well, it's gonna be another winning record,

129
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: another winning season for Mike Tomlin, that's all he does.

130
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 2: And they've lost their last three games and their last

131
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 2: three losses, my lord, two home losses to the Cardinals

132
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 2: and Patriots, who combine still only have six wins on

133
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: the season. That's who the Steelers lost to in back

134
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: to back weeks, and then last week against the Colts,

135
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: the Steelers block a punt, they're up thirty to nothing. Okay,

136
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: let's go. They give up thirty unanswered points to Gardner

137
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: Minshew in company. Michael Pittman Junior didn't even finish the game.

138
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: He got knocked out because of a hit. It was

139
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: a poor pass by Minshew and a dirty hit. And

140
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: Demante Casey is suspended for the rest of the season.

141
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: But that's what stands out to me, the Bengals and

142
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: the Steelers. It's just a reminder of how long the

143
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: season is, and just when you think, okay, this is

144
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: about to happen, sometimes in the NFL, the opposite happens.

145
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it really does. And I think that's been

146
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 4: a hallmark of this season is just when you start

147
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 4: getting comfortable with some of the teams you're familiar with

148
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 4: in the wildcard chase or leading their division in some

149
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 4: of these tighter divisions, something major shifts. Either have a

150
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 4: key injury at a key position, or a team all

151
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 4: of a sudden just starts playing poorly and or they

152
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 4: get caught by better competition. How many teams this season

153
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 4: have we seen struggle against the better competition on their schedule,

154
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: but when they're playing the softer you know, sub five

155
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 4: hundred teams, they look like world beaters. That's been a

156
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: theme this season as well. I think what we're seeing

157
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 4: across the NFL is the better coach teams who've had

158
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 4: healthy quarterbacks who were, you know, top half quarterbacks to

159
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: begin with. You're starting to see the separation there, but

160
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 4: that's few and far between with all the quarterback injuries

161
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 4: we've seen, and frankly a dearth of good coaching at

162
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 4: times this season in terms of continuity on the offensive

163
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 4: side of the ball. A lot of new coordinators, a

164
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 4: lot of quarterbacks working with new coordinators this year, and

165
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 4: I think that has had an effect overall in the season.

166
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 4: But steering it back towards this game, this matchup AFC South.

167
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 4: The reason why this spread is as tight as it

168
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 4: is is because I think you got to give a

169
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 4: tremendous amount of respect to Mike Tomlin, who I look

170
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: inexplicably he's been over five hundred for years.

171
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 3: Or for the entirety of his career.

172
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 4: However, there's this growing drum beat in the background, and

173
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 4: I'm curious what you guys think about this that people

174
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 4: are like, hey, look, is the goal to be above

175
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:14,839
Speaker 4: five hundred or is the goal to.

176
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 3: Win Super Bowls?

177
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 4: Yes, and I get it, and I get that frustration

178
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 4: from Pittsburgh fans, like it used to be, well, at

179
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 4: least we have Mike Tomlin and now it's like, geez, well,

180
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 4: with Mike Tomlin, we're not going.

181
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: To lose more games than we win.

182
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 4: But at the end of the season, if that doesn't

183
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: get us a tournament, berth, what is it all for.

184
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, being nine to eight is cool as

185
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 4: long as you sneak into the wildcard or potentially lead

186
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 4: a week division. Otherwise you don't have any chance to

187
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 4: make a run at a championship. So I don't think

188
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 4: a lot of people in Pittsburgh, or it should say

189
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 4: a lot of the fan base in Pittsburgh are as

190
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 4: impressed with that stat than the national media.

191
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, and let's be honest, guys, even though they have

192
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 7: made the playoffs the last few years, it's not exactly

193
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 7: been pretty. I mean, they've had some really it's been

194
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 7: like luck box seasons. You know, they had a couple

195
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 7: of really nice winning seasons during that stretch where they

196
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 7: were twelve, you know, twelve thirteen wins, but they always

197
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 7: fall short and they have them back to the Super

198
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 7: Bowl and it's been like twenty ten or something like that.

199
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 6: It's been a while, So this is I don't want.

200
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 7: To say this is like the year that Mike Tomlin,

201
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 7: you know, finally gets the rail as coach, because I

202
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 7: don't know what's going on behind the scenes there in Pittsburgh.

203
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 7: They're one of the more buttoned up franchises with a

204
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 7: lot of this stuff that you know, it's I don't

205
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 7: think they're gonna just fire Mike because he goes eight

206
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 7: to nine this year instead of nine and eight.

207
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 3: Like it.

208
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 7: Even if they go nine and eight and they miss

209
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 7: the playoffs, which is very very possible by the way,

210
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 7: based on the way the AFC is, and I'll be honest,

211
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 7: look at their schedule down the stretch. They're a home

212
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 7: dog this week, and then the last two weeks they're

213
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 7: at Seattle and at Baltimore, and we'll see what Baltimore

214
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 7: has to play for in week eighteen. They might be

215
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 7: resting people, but I think the odds of them going

216
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 7: under five hundred this year are definitely above a coin flip,

217
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 7: especially if they lose today. I think, frankly, it's it's

218
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 7: the five hundred dream is over. If they lose today,

219
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 7: I don't think they're losing, but I don't think they're

220
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 7: winning both those games on the road the last two weeks.

221
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 7: So this is I thought last week was the season.

222
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 7: I thought last week was the line in the sand game.

223
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 7: You come off of two games and all I heard

224
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 7: the whole week was a team has never lost back

225
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 7: to back games against a team eight was eight under

226
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 7: five hundred. It was like some kind of crazy stat

227
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 7: like of terrible teams lose, you know, beating a good

228
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 7: team at this stage of the season has never happened

229
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 7: back to back weeks. And then they followed that up

230
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 7: with a stinker in Indy, and it just I don't

231
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 7: know if there's anything Mike can do, Like he can't

232
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 7: go out there and play quarterback right like they're on

233
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 7: their third quarterback this year, and frankly, none of them

234
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 7: have been.

235
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 6: Over overly excitable.

236
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 7: So this is a This is one of those games

237
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 7: where if it's if it's a struggle early and that

238
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 7: Bengals defense is playing tough against against Mason Rudolph and

239
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 7: making his life hard, I don't know what's left in

240
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 7: the tank with Pittsburgh here, We're gonna find out a lot.

241
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 7: What's you know what if Mike's got any aces left

242
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 7: up his sleep?

243
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's listen man.

244
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 2: The uh the narrative, as I have Lebron flashbacks, right

245
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: the narrative about Mike Tomlin is is pretty negative. Right now,

246
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 2: I think overly negative because I'll hear some stuff. What

247
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: you said, Rich is totally fair, like it's not good

248
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: enough just have a winning record, we gotta do damage

249
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: come playoff time. I think that's completely fair. But the

250
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: other stuff I hear is, hey, maybe it's time for

251
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 2: Tomlin to go. It's like this is his first losing

252
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: maybe his first losing season in a decade and a half.

253
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: You know, we're ready to run him out of town.

254
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous, like they don't have a quarterback. Like we

255
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: got Big Ben talking about maybe they lost all the

256
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: Steeler tradition. They don't have a quarterback. It's not as

257
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 2: if they have a guy and Tomlin's just lost his

258
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 2: fast ball, you know what I mean? Like I hear

259
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: this stuff with Belichick. Also, we act like Belichick has

260
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 2: a QB. They don't. They've got the two headed monster

261
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 2: of Mac Jones and Bailey ZAPPI who the Steelers have Canny, Pickett,

262
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: Mitche and Mason.

263
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you.

264
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: Want to do with that?

265
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 3: Like?

266
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: Really, come on, I think that right. I think sometimes

267
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: we're unrealistic with what we've gotten repeatedly, and then when

268
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: we don't get that again and again, it's just a possibility.

269
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: They have a losing record. A lot of times we overreact,

270
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: and that's where I think we are. Big picture. Now,

271
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 2: if you zoom in what's interesting about this matchup, you

272
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 2: have to go back to November twenty sixth, almost a

273
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: month ago. That was the Steelers last win. It was

274
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: against the Bengals. Yeah, and it was the same game. Yeah,

275
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: the last loss for the Bengals was against the Steeler. Yeah.

276
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: Crazy, crazy, strange how that works.

277
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, like both both ends of both ends of this

278
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 4: this it's.

279
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: It here, here's the I guess. My final thoughts on Mike.

280
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 4: Tomlin is is he Mike Tomlin reminds me of a

281
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 4: boxer with an iron chin. But it's getting laid in

282
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 4: his career and you know he's not gonna contend for

283
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 4: a belt anymore.

284
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: Right. You love him, you love him.

285
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 4: You've watched him win those title fights, him being those

286
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 4: those big rounds and your root for him. But the

287
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 4: truth is, does he still have that secret sauce that

288
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 4: knockout stuff?

289
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 3: And the answer is probably not.

290
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 4: But he's gonna go he's gonna go deep, he's gonna

291
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 4: take into deep water, he's gonna go into the late

292
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 4: rounds with you. I just don't know if I trust

293
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 4: him in a title bout any longer.

294
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: And then the other side.

295
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 4: Of this from the fan base perspective, and I know, look,

296
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 4: fans overreact, and that is their job because that's part

297
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 4: of the fun of being a fan.

298
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: But you mentioned has he lost his fastball?

299
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 4: Well, it's odd you use that because it's uh, it's

300
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 4: he or I should say, the steal have the exact

301
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 4: same number of playoff victories as the Pittsburgh Pirates over

302
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 4: the past dec It's.

303
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: A great stat by the way, Yeah, but they play

304
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: throw that stat out of them. There you go, probably

305
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 2: all in one season that the Pirates won.

306
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 7: I'm sure all the Pittsburgh fans really appreciate that stat today,

307
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 7: especially considering we even got a Pittsburgh Pirates reference in the.

308
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 3: Show research team. Yeah, in the background.

309
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 7: I mean, listen, guys, this is I think it. I

310
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 7: think I feel comfortable saying two things. I think I

311
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 7: feel comfortable saying that the Steelers winning record streak will

312
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 7: come to an end this year, especially if they lose today,

313
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 7: it's done. If they win today, I think they got

314
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 7: a fighters chance back to back to Rich's reference there.

315
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 7: But if they if they lose today, they're not going

316
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 7: on the road the last two weeks and winning. ATSI

317
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 7: allen at Baltimore, and I think the Ravens are losing

318
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 7: to the Niners this week, which means Baltimore is going

319
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 7: to probably have to win out. They're definitely gonna have

320
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 7: to beat Miami next week and probably gonna have to

321
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 7: win in Week eighteen in order to get the number

322
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 7: one seed. So I don't think Pittsburgh's gonna get a freebie,

323
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 7: a big free bingo square there in week eighteen if

324
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 7: Baltimore rest Lamar Jackson. But on the other side, for Cincinnati,

325
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 7: I mean, let's be honest, if they win this game today,

326
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 7: they've got nine wins and they're looking like a playoff team.

327
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 7: I guess with Jake Browning, I mean, they go to

328
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 7: Kansas City next week, and that's no picnic, of course,

329
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 7: especially with the Steeler or the Chiefs always wanting to

330
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 7: stick at the SINCI based off of that the Super

331
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 7: Bowl round a couple of years ago. And then you

332
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 7: get Cleveland at home in the final week of the

333
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 7: year when you're facing Joe Flacco. Probably, so you can

334
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 7: say that this is a game that's gonna kind of

335
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 7: put the Bengals back onto the perch into the AAC playoffs,

336
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 7: and that'll remove the Steelers today. This is a very

337
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 7: this is a swing game if Cincinnati wins today, and

338
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 7: I think it removes Pittsburgh and it really puts Cinconny

339
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 7: in a good spot to just somehow without Joe Burrow

340
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 7: make the playoffs, which you say, it would be really

341
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 7: cool if Mike Tomlin could figure out a way to

342
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 7: get into the postseason, for lou An Rumo and for

343
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 7: Zach Taylor and this coaching staff to figure out a

344
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,960
Speaker 7: way to get this Bengals team into the postseason after

345
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 7: all the adversity they fought through early in the year.

346
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:06,639

368
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 2: are a little bit more enticing. Right around the corner,

391
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: not the greatest slate of games today, we got seven

392
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: ball games, and we'll get into your choice what the

393
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: sexiest matchup is or what you're most looking forward to

394
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: a little bit later. But I thought we would look

395
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: more so throughout the week because we've got an onslaught

396
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: of games throughout the entire week, and there are a

397
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 2: couple I've got circled here. I'm looking at Louisville against USC.

398
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: That's on Wednesday, no Caleb Williams as he opts out

399
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 2: the USC quarterback. And then a little bit later on Friday,

400
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 2: we've got Missouri against Ohio State, two teams no Kyle McCord,

401
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: who transferred to Syracuse, the former Ohio State quarterback. So

402
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 2: I find both of those very interesting, among other things.

403
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 2: But if this is a regular season matchup and the

404
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 2: other team's quarterback is out, especially Caleb Williams, that would

405
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: be earth shattering news, you know what I mean. But

406
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 2: just because it's a bowl game, you get a bunch

407
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,479
Speaker 2: of opt outs and a bunch of transfers, and I

408
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: don't think we look at it with the same impact,

409
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 2: even though it is making the same impact. Do you

410
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 2: guys agree with that?

411
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, Listen, bowl games, bowl season in college football has

412
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 4: turned into the NBA's regular season. We're just nobody likes

413
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 4: load management. We're just used to it.

414
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 2: You know.

415
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 4: We just realize that it's a part of doing business

416
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 4: now at the NBA level because the players Union has

417
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 4: too much power in the dynamic between the owners and

418
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 4: the players. And look, this comes from somebody who advocates

419
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 4: for players to have power in.

420
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: These dynas because it's a short earning.

421
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 4: Window and typically when the pendulum of power swings towards

422
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 4: the player side, you see more of the workforce earning

423
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 4: more money, which I think, and and earning better benefits

424
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 4: for life after sport, and all of those things I

425
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 4: think is is are good things. However, what happens when

426
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 4: players get too much power in any power dynamic is

427
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 4: certain aspects of competitiveness get taken advantage of. Like we

428
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 4: don't get to see NBA superstars on night in night

429
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 4: out basis you'll have people pay for expensive seats and

430
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 4: the whole reason is to go see Anthony Davis and

431
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 4: Lebron James at Crypto dot Com arena, or Victor Wemminyama

432
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 4: out there in in San Antonio or the Greek Freak

433
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 4: in Milwaukee, and you'll have guys take nights off just

434
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 4: because they need a break because it's the second game

435
00:21:58,119 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 4: of a back to back.

436
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: Well, that's boldseason. Now, if you love.

437
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 4: Your starting quarterback, don't turn on his bowl game, you know,

438
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 4: especially if he's an upperclassman, especially if he's got a

439
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 4: little steam on his name and he can go into

440
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 4: the transfer portal. So that holiday ball that you're talking about,

441
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 4: I'm getting ready to call that game. I'm doing the

442
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 4: national radio.

443
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 2: Wow.

444
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's awesome, man.

445
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 4: I appreciate, thank you. I'm excited for it. Down in

446
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 4: San Diego at Peco Park.

447
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 6: Such a cool venue.

448
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 7: Yeah. Oh, it's the ReVibe now, right.

449
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 4: Totally different vibe and the way they set up that

450
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 4: ballpark for football is very very cool. But Louisville is

451
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 4: going to be without their star running back Jawar Jordan

452
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 4: and Jamari Thrash both declared for the NFL Draft.

453
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: Of course, thrasher receiver.

454
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 4: I mean it's not just Caleb Williams on the side

455
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 4: of USC. I mean they're gonna be without Marshawn Lloyd yep,

456
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 4: and who's their top running back and obviously their top receiver,

457
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 4: Brendan Rice were responsible for twenty one touchdowns this season

458
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 4: for the Trojans.

459
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 3: I mean, these games.

460
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 4: Used to be so exciting, and we used to circle

461
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 4: the wagons and say this, Hey, if you're looking for

462
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 4: some college football action in December, well look no further

463
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 4: than Team X facing Team Y and Bowl Game Z.

464
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 3: We don't get that anymore.

465
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 4: Because the stars do not align for these games any longer.

466
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 6: Which opinion do you want here? Guys?

467
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 7: Do you want the betting analyst opinion or the college

468
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 7: football fan opinion?

469
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 6: US can give you both.

470
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, give us both.

471
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 2: The Connor Stallions spectator in the twenty seventh row.

472
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, we need like the FU.

473
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 7: I gotta come up with a different opinion. Then I

474
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 7: had two opinions in my head. Now Brian's asking for

475
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 7: a third. He's asking for the extra work this morning.

476
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 6: No, okay.

477
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 7: So the college football betting analyst opinion is these games

478
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 7: offer a very unique opportunity because the lines swing violently,

479
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 7: and when the line swing violently, we have a chance

480
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 7: to find that value that we're seeking. Right, because this

481
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 7: might have moved too much, and you and the lines move,

482
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 7: that's where better's love. So from a betting perspective, I

483
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 7: don't mind this hubbub around the ball games.

484
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 6: From a college football.

485
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 7: Fan, from a sports fan perspective, we've we've lost it.

486
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 7: We've we've completely gone off the deep end with these games.

487
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 7: The last couple of years. It has been when you

488
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 7: have group of five players at New Mexico State, at

489
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 7: you know, name the random school that's playing today, I

490
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 7: mean there are several of them with key players out.

491
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 7: When you have group of five guys that are at

492
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 7: the lowest level of Division one college football in the portal,

493
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 7: we have a problem. It just you're supposed to manage

494
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 7: up where it's like the top guys get the privilege

495
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 7: of opting out to the transfer portal because they're that good.

496
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 7: When it's the whole college football landscape, like everybody the

497
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 7: backup on you know Troy today, you know the entire

498
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 7: Duke football team basically, and I know they're not a

499
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 7: group of five, but you get the point, Like, that's

500
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 7: where I think we have a bit of an issue,

501
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 7: and I don't know what the answer is. I've said

502
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 7: for years the Bowl games are. I love them. I

503
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 7: love everything about them. I love the flair, I love

504
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 7: the culture with each city, with each venue, with each

505
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,479
Speaker 7: weird you know, Nook and Cranny, the Mayo bowl, the potato,

506
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 7: give me all of them. But we have to find

507
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 7: a way to incentivize these kids to play. And I

508
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 7: don't know what the answer is. If it's changing the

509
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 7: portal window so it's a couple weeks later, if it's

510
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 7: giving them just money to play, like straight cash, here,

511
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 7: come play. But we've reached a point now where it's

512
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 7: just good luck finding a roster with half of these games.

513
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 6: And it's tough.

514
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 7: I mean, you watch the syrirac Use game the other night.

515
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 7: I mean it's like, goodness gracious, nobody wants to be

516
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 7: out there. So I don't know what the answer is.

517
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 7: I don't know how we fix it, but I think

518
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 7: we got to try to fix it.

519
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: Right well, we don't need to fix Isaac Low and

520
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: drawn definitely needs no fixing whatsoever. He is running in

521
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 2: pristine fashion and he's are you sure about that? I'm

522
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 2: sure about that, absolutely sure about that. Here's he's here

523
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 2: to let us know what we need to know around

524
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: the sports landscape.

525
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 3: What's going on?

526
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 10: I Low, Oh, this role never ceases to amaze, and

527
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,479

571
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: posted right after we get off the year. Let's stick

572
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 2: with Florida, right, we got the crazy fishing story. How

573
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: about this Florida State. Florida State trying to sue the

574
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: ACC and grease the skids to leave the conference scott

575
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 2: free where they wouldn't have to pay millions of dollars

576
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 2: to exit there. The thing I think is we heard

577
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: this for so long. Is all the ACC and the

578
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 2: grant of rights, Yeah, they can't leave until like twenty

579
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 2: thirty six, And it's like we're already starting to see

580
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 2: these contracts are just suggestions. They're already trying to sue

581
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,239
Speaker 2: the conference and just get away without paying anything. And

582
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: they might be able to do that. So this is

583
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 2: just the beginning of Florida State is leaving. Florida State

584
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: is leaving and heading elsewhere. It's just a matter of

585
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 2: do they owe money or do they.

586
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 3: Not owe money.

587
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 2: But this idea that oh, they're locked in until like

588
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 2: twenty thirty something, No, no they're not. It's gonna be

589
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 2: sooner than later. If they went out for real.

590
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could look at the what happened to Florida State,

591
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 4: the undefeated Seminoles through the regular season and their conference

592
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 4: championship game being omitted from the College Football Playoff as

593
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 4: the final straw. But really, I think I think it

594
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 4: goes back to the old saying, never let a good

595
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: crisis go to waste. When you have a situation like

596
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 4: that where it has so much national attention and there's

597
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 4: so many people pleaing the case for Florida State, the

598
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 4: Seminoles athletic department very intelligently, and the university and the

599
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 4: powers that be said, hey, this sucks, but as bad

600
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 4: as this sucks, maybe it's an opportunity for us to

601
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 4: get what we want, which is to break this quote

602
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 4: unquote ironclad media rights deal between the conference and the

603
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 4: network and maybe get out of here without having to

604
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 4: pay upwards of five hundred and seventy million dollars in

605
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 4: exit fees. Maybe we could get that number way down

606
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 4: because because we're gonna have some of the nations, you know,

607
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 4: the punits and the talking heads backing us in this situation.

608
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 4: So let's strike while the iron's hot. That's what I

609
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 4: think is the reason why this is all coming out

610
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 4: right now.

611
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, and let's be clear, it is coming out right now.

612
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 7: It's a hot button topic. But we're gonna be sitting

613
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 7: on this for a while because the ACC's got twenty

614
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 7: days to respond to this lawsuit, and I'm reading because

615
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 7: of the holidays, the league could ask for an extension

616
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 7: of another month. So good luck figuring this out before

617
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 7: the college football playoffs. It won't get figured out before

618
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 7: probably the end of the NFL playoffs. I would say

619
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 7: maybe right maybe around the Super Bowl we'll hear back

620
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 7: from the ACC about what they're gonna do, or maybe

621
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 7: right beforehand.

622
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 6: And the other part of this that I don't want.

623
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 7: To say it bothers me, but it just doesn't make

624
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 7: sense from a logical standpoint. And I go back to

625
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 7: an argument I have all the time with all of

626
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 7: my Penn State groupies. Group chat of eight guys from

627
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 7: Penn State, and we all talk about, you know things.

628
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 7: We usually talk about life and football, and you know,

629
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 7: once or twice a year, usually right around the time

630
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 7: that Penn State plays Michigan and Ohio State, everybody wants

631
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 7: to fire James Franklin and and my response is, eh,

632
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 7: you know, maybe ten fifteen years ago.

633
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 6: Before I did this job.

634
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 7: For a while, I was a little more a trolls

635
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:26,959
Speaker 7: at the gates fire games Franklin. Now I'm like, well,

636
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 7: who are we hiring guys? Like, like, like, what's the

637
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 7: next step? Like you guys want to get rid of

638
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 7: a guy that's you know, bringing in a top ten

639
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 7: recruiting class. And I digress from that topic. Is my

640
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 7: point being, Florida State wants to leave the ACC Where

641
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 7: are they going?

642
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 3: Right?

643
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 7: Like you have to have another place, like the grass

644
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 7: is always greener on the other side, Where are you going?

645
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 7: You want to the Big twelve to that disaster and

646
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 7: Texas and Olaholm's about to leave and what's happening there.

647
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 6: You're gonna go to the SEC.

648
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 7: You're gonna join the league that your arrivals with and

649
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 7: you're getting it maybe, but the SEC want you? Does

650
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 7: the Big ten want you? Of an invitation from.

651
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:01,479
Speaker 6: Any of these places?

652
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 7: So I understand the desire to act. Where are you going?

653
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 6: Do you have an invitation from any of these leagues

654
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 6: to join?

655
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 7: So I don't know how this is going to play out,

656
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 7: but I know I stand by on my on my

657
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 7: hill that I will die on that the conference landscape

658
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 7: in college football is a complete waste. The conferences are

659
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 7: a waste. The only reason they're there is nostalgia. I'd

660
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 7: love to blow it up and just create like a

661
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 7: premier league where you can promote and relegate teams from

662
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,719
Speaker 7: the College Football Playoff Division and get rid of these

663
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 7: stupid conferences forever.

664
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 2: Well, real fast, it's it's not the ACC's fault that

665
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: Florida State didn't make the college football teas.

666
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 3: I agree, like that's that's the.

667
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 2: Thing where it might be a convenient argument to make,

668
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: and hey, maybe they'll go for it. I don't know

669
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: if that's what the Florida State powers that be are thinking.

670
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 2: But it's because Jordan Travis got hurt. This has nothing

671
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 2: to do with the ACC. You know that bad lay

672
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: ultimately came down to. So it's just it's funny that

673
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 2: they're like, well, I mean, goodness, we got left out,

674
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: so we went out of the ACC. Makes sense, right, No,

675
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: it makes no sense, But good luck to you. Good luck.

676
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, maybe.

677
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 3: You'll end up suing the conference and get what you want.

678
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you this, some of these some of

679
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 2: these schools are gonna find out the grass is not

680
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 2: greener on the East side where it's like, hey, let's

681
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: go to the SEC. Okay, great, let us know when

682
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 2: you're relevant again Texas. You know like it's not gonna

683
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,960

Speaker 2: he's thinking today. Is it College Bowl game related? Is

695
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 2: it NFL related? Is it a hybrid? Is there hoops involved?

696
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 2: I don't know where he's gonna go. We'll find out.

Speaker 2: let's do.

707
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: This, check this out parlay letter.

708
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 3: Yes, Jared Smith cooked up a winner last week.

709
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 2: If we review, he had the over in the Denver

710
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 2: Detroit game. Detroit almost did it by themselves. Lions scored

711
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 2: forty two. He had a Sam Laporta and time touchdown

712
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: Old Sammy had three of them. They had extra credit

713
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 2: over there and also Laporta over fifty receiving yards. He

714
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 2: got the fifty six. So that is a winner from

715
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 2: Jared Smith. Nicely done. Are you planning to run it

716
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 2: back here Jared this morning?

717
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

718
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 7: I think the NFL Same game parlays in terms of,

719
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 7: you know, putting it all into a nice, neat little package. Right,

720
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 7: It's Christmas time. You wrap it up with a bow.

721
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 7: It's one game, you're in and out and you hopefully

722
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 7: unwrap it and it's not a lump of coal. So

723
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 7: let's get started because we'll go Bills Chargers tonight. It's

724
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 7: the late game tonight in the NFL, and let's just

725
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 7: try to script it out right. Let's put the Quentin

726
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 7: Tarantino hat on. Let's try to script this sucker out.

727
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 7: So the Bills are coming off of I would say

728
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 7: their best win of the year and absolute devastation of

729
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 7: the Cowboys, and the Chargers are coming off I don't

730
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 7: even know how to describe what I watched last Thursday

731
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 7: night at the Allegiance Stadium. It was a train wreck,

732
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 7: of car accident, a nuclear explosion all taking place at

733
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 7: the same time, and Brandon phely Sea. So I think

734
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 7: it's gonna be a little more buttoned up this week.

735
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 7: My guess is we see the Chargers defense, which is

736
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 7: going to be completely renovated with the play calls and

737
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 7: you know, Brandon Staley called all the signals and it's

738
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 7: gonna be a kind of group collective effort this week.

739
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 7: The outside linebacker coach got promoted to the interim and

740
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 7: the defensive coordinator. Now it's gonna taken up. So I

741
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 7: think you're gonna see a more spirited effort from Buffalo

742
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 7: defense or from the Chargers defense. And from Buffalo I

743
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 7: could see them just kind of coming in and coasting

744
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,479
Speaker 7: on offense in this game. So we'll go under forty

745
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 7: four and a half first leg of the parlay, and

746
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 7: then we'll go Josh Allen under thirty four and a

747
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 7: half rushing yards.

748
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 6: Again, not an important game, so why are you gonna use.

749
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 7: Josh Allen's legs as a big part of the game

750
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 7: plan here? And then we'll take Austin Eckler and we'll

751
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 7: kind of split him up. We'll do what he normally does,

752
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 7: which is catch passes over twenty four and a half

753
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 7: passing yards. It's gone over this number and three of

754
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 7: the last four and then under fifty four and a

755
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 7: half rushing yards. Because Eckler is not a big runner anyways.

756
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 7: And you think game script Bills are going to be ahead,

757
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 7: Chargers are going to be behind. That'll take the running

758
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 7: game out of it. This is a pretty good nugget here, guys.

759
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 7: Six to one on the under forty four and a

760
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 7: half those Chargers under thirty four and a half, Josh

761
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 7: Allen rush yards under fifty four and a half, Austin

762
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 7: Eckler rush yards over twenty four and a half, Austin

763
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 7: Eckler receiving yards not back six to one payout there

764
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 7: on the same game, parlay.

765
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 6: What do we think?

766
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: Oh?

767
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 3: I like it. I'll tell you what.

768
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 4: The only problem that I could see running running a

769
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 4: running a ride with this parlay.

770
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 2: Running a muck.

771
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 3: I like running amuck, running a muck.

772
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 4: With your parlay is is the way that Khalil Mack

773
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 4: and this Chargers defense have gotten after certain quarterbacks, and

774
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 4: that rushing total may jump up a little bit higher

775
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 4: on scrambles. But outside of that, I mean, to be

776
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 4: perfectly honest with you, I still think that number will

777
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 4: settle under the mark.

778
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 3: So I love it. I think six to one is

779
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 3: some nice odds too.

780
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 6: That's true. It is a nice payout.

781
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 7: And I'm hoping maybe if maybe Josh Allen's over that

782
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 7: number in the end, maybe some knees the final drive

783
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 7: as they came through that game.

784
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 3: You never knows.

785
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 7: I've lost bets on that before.

786
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 2: I do the worst, the sweetest When.

787
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 7: Brian, it's like you're preaching to the choir.

788
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 6: That's why you take the others.

789
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,920
Speaker 7: Brian, so dirty, so dirty.

790
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 2: And it's like college. It doesn't count against the rushing

791
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 2: total of the quarterbacks, right taken, correct, but all the

792
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:27,959
Speaker 2: sack yardage does. So gonna catch you all right. Coming

803
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:08,479
Speaker 2: the Chargers, Bills favored by twelve and a half on

804
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: the road against the reeling Chargers. No Justin Herbert, no

805
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 2: Keenan Allen, no Joey Bosa, you know all that stuff.

806
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 2: And meanwhile Buffalo coming on like Gangbusters.

807
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 3: Here, guys.

808
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: Now, they've won two in a row. They're eight and

809
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:29,799
Speaker 2: six on the season and They are the trendiest team

810
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 2: I think in the NFL right now, where it's like,

811
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 2: look out for Buffalo, Here they come. Cow Hurd this

812
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: week said they're gonna win the Super Bowl, right They're

813
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 2: getting there out of the AFC. And I don't know

814
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 2: what you guys think, but it's a great performance last

815
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 2: week against the Cowboys. They smacked them around. But it's

816
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: a two game winning streak and an eight and six

817
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: record enough for you to say, oh, here they come,

818
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 2: Here comes Buffalo. I am not there at all.

819
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 4: I've been there for a while. And you guys know

820
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 4: how I feel about Josh Allen. I'm not a late

821
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 4: adopter here. I believe that the Bills were a better

822
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 4: team than they've been characterized as all season long. And

823
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 4: I think that Josh Allen kind of unfairly has been

824
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 4: left holding the bag for some of the other problems

825
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 4: that the Bills have this season.

826
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 3: Josh Allen isn't the problem. He's the solution to the problem.

827
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 4: And if you look at the wins the past two

828
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 4: weeks were really impressive, but look at some of the

829
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 4: losses over the last five games. The ot loss to

830
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 4: the Philadelphia Eagles that was a nail Bier down to

831
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 4: the wire. The loss to the Denver Broncos, who are

832
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 4: a good football team regardless of what happened last week.

833
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 4: They are a well coached team or dangerous who have

834
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 4: a talented quarterback. And when you have a couple of

835
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 4: those things aligned for you, that's a team that could

836
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 4: beat anybody in the league. And the Broncos have proven that.

837
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 4: And that was a near loss to the Denver Broncos.

838
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 4: So they've gone three of the last five. They beat

839
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 4: the snot out of the Jets and then beat the

840
00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 4: Super Bowl champs from a year ago, and the Chiefs

841
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 4: lost by only two in ot to the other team

842
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 4: in the Super Bowl during that five game span. And

843
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 4: absolutely curb stumped the Cowboys last week at home. And

844
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 4: they're playing against a team in the Chargers, who look,

845
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 4: the Chargers are in that spot. And I've been on teams, well,

846
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,760
Speaker 4: I should say, really only one team in my entire

847
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 4: life like this, where the season's over, nobody's playing for

848
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 4: each other anymore. There, everybody's playing for their film, for

849
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 4: their next opportunity, for end of the year awards, Pro

850
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 4: Bowl berths, or numbers that will help them hit incentives

851
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 4: like this is the ship's going down and the Rats

852
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 4: are fleeing for the upper decks. It's just this is

853
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 4: what it looks like when a regime changes and there's

854
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 4: uncertainty in the future. You're not going to see a

855
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,919
Speaker 4: composed Chargers football team go on, go on and take

856
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 4: the field. That's so far this this, this isn't gonna

857
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 4: be like an Antonio Pierce situation with the Las Vegas Raiders,

858
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 4: where there was still a survivable situation for Las Vegas,

859
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 4: like the season's over.

860
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 3: In La Yeah.

861
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 7: And so usually from a betting standpoint, you do get

862
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 7: a bit of a dead cat bounce the week after

863
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 7: the coach is firing. For example, the Panthers actually covered

864
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 7: the spread the week after Frank Right got fired. Now,

865
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 7: they didn't win the game. They did win later. They've

866
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 7: won a couple games actually since the firing. But we've seen,

867
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 7: you know, we've seen teams kind of That's why it's

868
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 7: it's a finance term dead cat bounce, Like a stocks

869
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 7: is getting absolutely pummeled and then all of a sudden

870
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 7: you see this this you know, uptick randomly, and that's

871
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 7: kind of what.

872
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 6: Sometimes you can expect.

873
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 7: Now I'll give you the details of what the Chargers

874
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 7: are going to be up against today. So out the

875
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 7: outside linebacker coach. Is it Giff or Jiff? Right, that's

876
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 7: the running joke. Yeah, spelled g i Ff. We'll go

877
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 7: with We'll go with Jeff. Jeff Smith takes over the

878
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 7: intermat coaching duties John tim who's going to coach the

879
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 7: defensive line because they also fired the defensive line coach.

880
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 7: You've got the defensive quality control coach, Robert musch Champ.

881
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 7: He's gonna take on a bigger role with the outside

882
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 7: linebackers because Jeff Smith's gonna get moved to the internet

883
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 7: coach roll. And then you've got the defensive coordinator Derek Ansley,

884
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 7: who has not called defensive plays all year because Brandon

885
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 7: Staley is the guy. He now will call the defensive

886
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 7: signals for the Charger. So again, a lot of movement,

887
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,759
Speaker 7: but sometimes when those things happen, you get a little

888
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 7: bit of a bounce in productivity. Back to Richard's point

889
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 7: and to collins point about the Bills.

890
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 6: They've lost six games this year.

891
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 7: They've all been by a single score, and you watch

892
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 7: these games every single Sunday, Guys, it's one play in

893
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 7: either direction. That tilts the game. Usually. They lost to

894
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 7: the Jets Week one in overtime, they lost to the

895
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 7: Jaguars Week five by five, They lost to the Patriots,

896
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 7: which is looking like a bizarre loss now on the road.

897
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 7: In Week seven by and then again the last the

898
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 7: recent string of losses. That Bengals game was tight on

899
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 7: the road. Joe Burrow was still there the Broncos game,

900
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, twelfth guy on the field Broncos,

901
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 7: you know, missed the field goal, get the bonus there,

902
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 7: and they kicked the extra point there, and they kicked

903
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 7: the second one that wins.

904
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 6: And then the Eagles one was in overtime too.

905
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 7: So again, six losses this year all by a whisker

906
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 7: one or two plays in either direction, and those games

907
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 7: tilt the other way. And this is a very different

908
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 7: narrative about this Buffalo team. If they're let's say ten

909
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 7: and four instead of eight and six, right, so this

910
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 7: is I could see it. I could see them making

911
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 7: a run down the stretch. I could see that, you know,

912
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,320
Speaker 7: the Sean McDermott story kind of being a galvanizing moment

913
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 7: for them. But I would be surprised if we see

914
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 7: their best stuff in this game today.

915
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 2: This is a classic team where we only look at

916
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 2: one side of the coin, where it's all these close losses.

917
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 2: How about their close wins. Okay, they beat Chiefs because

918
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 2: Kadarius Tony.

919
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 3: Couldn't line up correctly.

920
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: Sure, Okay, they barely pulled that one out by three points.

921
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 2: How about the win earlier this season against the Giants

922
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 2: when Tyrod Taylor was the quarterback. Yeah, on Sunday Night Football,

923
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 2: and what was it? Darren Waller got you know, hog

924
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 2: tied on the final throw into the end zone. Right

925
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 2: there could have easily been pass interference and who knows

926
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 2: what happens there. The Giants at that time were a

927
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 2: disaster and the Bills barely won that game. Like, I know,

928
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 2: they're in a much better spot, and it's a long season,

929
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 2: and I think there's more value in the NFL, especially

930
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: of who's playing hot right here right now, because that

931
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 2: does matter a ton. But I think that if we're

932
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 2: gonna look at the close losses, we got to look

933
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 2: at the close wins. Also.

934
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:50,479
Speaker 6: I agree.

935
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 2: And when it's all said and done, this Bills team,

936
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 2: they've had a couple of significant injuries defensively, and Josh

937
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 2: Allen's thrown fourteen interceptions. Think about this, He didn't throw

938
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 2: it very much at all. Last week he only had

939
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 2: fifteen passing attempts because James Cook in the running game

940
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: were crushing the Cowboys. But that broke a string of

941
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 2: an interception in nine straight games. He's second in interceptions

942
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 2: this year. Only Sam Howell has thrown more picks than

943
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,919
Speaker 2: Josh Allen. So listen, Josh Allen. I'm with you, Rich

944
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 2: He's one of the best quarterbacks in the game. But

945
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 2: these interceptions, they can come back to bite you, and

946
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 2: that's where you lose close games. It's not just fluky stuff.

947
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 2: The flukiest thing that happened this year led to a

948
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 2: win when Kadarius Tony couldn't line up correctly. So they

949
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 2: have a tendency of shooting themselves in the foot when

950
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 2: it matters most. And sorry, three out of four wins

951
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 2: is not enough for me to come on board. Look

952
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 2: out for Buffalo. They're barely over five hundred. Yeah, have

953
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 2: fun with them.

954
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 4: I I uh, here's the reason why I disagree. I

955
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 4: think that this narrative started game one of the season

956
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 4: when John Allen against Aaron Rodgers absolutely laid an egg

957
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 4: and that was in a game that they should have

958
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 4: won because Aaron Rodgers was injured within four plays, and

959
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 4: I think that narrative has followed them the rest of

960
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 4: the season.

961
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 3: I think everybody saw.

962
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 4: That opening game and there were so many eyeballs on

963
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 4: that game, and they made the decision that, Wow, you

964
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 4: know what this is who Josh Allen is.

965
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 3: He's a big game choke artist.

966
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 4: He's he's a guy who you're gonna love his in tangibles,

967
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 4: but he just makes those bonehead plays sometimes that can

968
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 4: lose the Bills some games, and that is true. You

969
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 4: gotta take the bad with the good with Josh Allen,

970
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 4: but there is so much good. Like I understand that

971
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 4: they have a lot of close wins, but this is

972
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 4: close wins with certain teams are very different than close

973
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 4: wins with others. Like I look at the close wins

974
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 4: all season long with the Minnesota Vikings last year, and

975
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 4: I would agree with your thought process if we were

976
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 4: talking about that team with that quarterback a year ago,

977
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 4: because they were kind of fraudulent. They were hiding some

978
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 4: of their issues in plain sight, and they got found

979
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 4: out real quick. Hosting the Giants in the postseason, they

980
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 4: got their break speed off.

981
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 3: But I don't look at.

982
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 4: The Bills like I look at the Minnesota Vikings. There

983
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,839
Speaker 4: are other teams who are close win artists or you know,

984
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 4: or you know, look like they could be you know,

985
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 4: suspect to get picked off in the opening round of

986
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 4: the postseason. Should the Bills make it, I think they

987
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 4: will because they're red hot right now.

988
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 3: Because I again, because they have an.

989
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:35,320
Speaker 4: Elite quarterback, and that tilts the balance in your favor.

990
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 4: Like Kirk Cousins with the Minnesota Vikings and all those

991
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 4: close wins last year, there isn't a single thing about

992
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 4: his game that's elite. I look at Josh Allen and

993
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 4: you look at the arm talent and the escapability and

994
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 4: the improviavisation and some of those moments in good games,

995
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 4: big games for the Bills where.

996
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 3: He saves the day.

997
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're gonna have the interceptions, but also look at

998
00:49:58,640 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 4: the touchdowns.

999
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 3: Look at the touchdown to interception ratio.

1000
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 4: I mean, he's one of the best and most talented

1001
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 4: quarterbacks in this league and we're holding that one stat

1002
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 4: against him. Guess what if you throw the football a

1003
00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 4: lot in the end zone, you're gonna throw a lot

1004
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 4: to the other team.

1005
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 3: Too sometimes, and that's the case with Josh Allen.

1006
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, the turnover worthy plays are a little bit down

1007
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 7: this year, and the big time throwers are also a

1008
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 7: little bit down. I think overall, they've been just a

1009
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 7: bit of a different offense this season. I don't think

1010
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 7: they're gonna win the Super Bowl. I don't think this

1011
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,319
Speaker 7: is some kind of like wake up call, but I

1012
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 7: do think that they're playing the type of football. Like,

1013
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 7: let's be fair to what the preseason odds told us,

1014
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 7: this is the super Bowl favorite preseason like them just

1015
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:49,400
Speaker 7: making the playoffs does not deserve this, you know, oh wow, like,

1016
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 7: oh my goodness, watch out for.

1017
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 6: They were the preseason favorite to win the Super Bowl.

1018
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 6: They should be in the playoffs.

1019
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 7: They should frankly have a better record, but they don't

1020
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 7: because of the mistakes that Brian talk about, and I agree,

1021
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 7: I think one of those mistakes will eventually be their undoing.

1022
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 7: But if you were going to ask me if the

1023
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 7: playoffs started today, what is one team in the AFC

1024
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 7: that I wouldn't want to face? I would put Josh

1025
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 7: Allen in Buffalo on that list. Does that mean they're

1026
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 7: gonna run through the playoffs and make Super but no,

1027
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 7: I think there's more discipline button up teams in the

1028
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 7: NFL this year. I think the Ravens and the Chiefs

1029
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 7: on the AFC side are still kind of those two

1030
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,400
Speaker 7: teams that I would look for. But it is Josh

1031
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 7: Allen and they're hot right now. They're gonna make the

1032
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 7: playoffs because they face the Chargers and the Patriots over

1033
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 7: the next two weeks. They're gonna win ten games and

1034
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 7: they're probably gonna get a Dolphins team that has nothing

1035
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,080
Speaker 7: to play for in the last week. And my guess

1036
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 7: is they're the first wildcard team in the AFC, just

1037
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 7: my hunch, and then we'll see what happens on the

1038
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 7: road in the playoffs. We'll see if they can come together,

1039
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 7: because I do think that the moment for them when

1040
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:53,359
Speaker 7: it was all the turmoil around McDermott and the nine

1041
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 7: to eleven story and they went on the road to

1042
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 7: Kansas City and I know it wasn't easy, but they

1043
00:51:57,719 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 7: won the game.

1044
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 6: Sometimes the you just have to.

1045
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,439
Speaker 7: See one go through the hoop when you're a team

1046
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 7: that's dealing with adversity and they were able to overcome

1047
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 7: it and they've played well. Maybe that's kind of the

1048
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 7: galvanizing moment for this team. We'll see, but the next

1049
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,680
Speaker 7: three weeks we're not going to learn much. We won't

1050
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 7: learn much until the wild card weekend.

1051
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 2: I like how this Josh Allen slash Bills thing has

1052
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 2: become rich oh v no, and we are just sparring left.

1053
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 6: I'm kind of in the middle, although.

1054
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 7: I'm not buying.

1055
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 6: I'm not fully.

1056
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 7: Buying in Yeah Bills things.

1057
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 2: Well, it's to be perfectly fair, it's it's not the

1058
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 2: greatest timing when they're taking on the Charger tonight.

1059
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 7: But the Patriots next week in a revenge game.

1060
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 2: We're looking at the season collectively where I think it's

1061
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 2: the opposite rich. When you go back to the game

1062
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 2: against the Jets, and you're right, that was a big

1063
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 2: disappointment and that hurt Josh Allen's rep and the way

1064
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 2: that you look at him. That was a perspective shifting

1065
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 2: loss when you lose in Aaron Rodgers' list Jets team,

1066
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 2: and the way that Jets pulled it out was ridiculous.

1067
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:08,080
Speaker 2: But I think that Josh Allen right here, right now,

1068
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 2: he's getting more flowers than he deserves because of what

1069
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 2: he's done before this year. Because if you talk about

1070
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 2: the touchdowns to interceptions, just the differential Josh Allen's plus twelve.

1071
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:22,439
Speaker 2: There are plenty of other quarterbacks that are better when

1072
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 2: it comes to that, that are not getting the flowers

1073
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 2: that Josh Allen is getting. Jordan love Is plus fourteen,

1074
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 2: Packers quarterback. Is he getting as much love? Jared goff

1075
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 2: Is plus sixteen, He's not getting as much love two

1076
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 2: US plus fifteen. That's better not getting as much love,

1077
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 2: so forth and so on. You got guys like Baker

1078
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 2: Mayfield plus sixteen. You've got Derek Carr in the same

1079
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 2: neighborhood plus eleven. None of these guys are getting the

1080
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 2: flowers that Josh Allen is getting. And a lot of

1081
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 2: that has to do with we've seen him do this

1082
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 2: repeatedly in other seasons. But all this stuff about oh

1083
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:01,759
Speaker 2: look out for this play man coonel, in my mind

1084
00:54:01,800 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 2: it's tied more so to pre twenty twenty three than

1085
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 2: just twenty twenty three. And don't get me wrong, he's

1086
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:12,240
Speaker 2: still a very good quarterback. But these turnover prone plays

1087
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:15,959
Speaker 2: that he has, they can kill you, and it has

1088
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 2: before when it matters most.

1089
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 4: I think that the Bills have put Josh Allen in

1090
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 4: a situation this season at times where he's felt like

1091
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 4: he's needed to do more than he's actually needed to do,

1092
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:36,839
Speaker 4: and firing their offensive coordinator mid season felt honestly a

1093
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 4: little bit like a knee jerk reaction to some of

1094
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 4: the heat and the pressure that Sean McDermott was facing

1095
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 4: this season, and it felt like appeasement a little bit

1096
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,240
Speaker 4: as opposed to the best football decision at the time,

1097
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 4: because continuity is important to a quarterback. Now, things have

1098
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:58,240
Speaker 4: recovered well since that point, and I think the narrative

1099
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 4: has shifted back more in favor of the Bills. And

1100
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:03,840
Speaker 4: I think the Bills remind me a lot of the

1101
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:05,840
Speaker 4: Ravens in a lot of ways. They're a team that

1102
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,880
Speaker 4: plays better with the lead. They're built like front runners.

1103
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,399
Speaker 4: I think Josh Allen is more comfortable playing with the lead,

1104
00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 4: but actually trust Josh Allen more trailing than I do.

1105
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson, you know you mentioned a lot of quarterbacks there,

1106
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 4: Jared Goff and Baker Mayfield and to a tongue of

1107
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 4: I loa and you know the others on that list

1108
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:32,760
Speaker 4: who have a better touchdown to interception margin this year. However,

1109
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 4: would you trade a single one of them. For Josh Allen,

1110
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 4: the answer is no. Josh Allen has elite intangibles that

1111
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 4: to a tongue of v Lois certainly doesn't have. Jared

1112
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,319
Speaker 4: Goff certainly doesn't have that. Baker Mayfield certainly doesn't have that.

1113
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 4: Jared Goff definitely doesn't have, and in big moments he

1114
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:53,759
Speaker 4: has produced some amazing plays based on his intangibles. So

1115
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 4: I agree that Josh Allen is not the perfect quarterback.

1116
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 4: He's never going to be Tom Brady. He's never going

1117
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 4: to be you know, Drew Brees when he's on a

1118
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 4: heater or Peyton manning the sheriff. But he has certain

1119
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 4: aspects to his game that I think get overlooked when

1120
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 4: the Bills overall are struggling because, like quarterbacks often do,

1121
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 4: he's given more blame when they're losing, and he's given

1122
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 4: too much credit when they're winning at times as well.

1123
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,839
Speaker 4: So I really look at it this way. If you're

1124
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 4: a quarterback on a good football team with intangible greatness

1125
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 4: like Josh Allen has, and I do think the Bills

1126
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,879
Speaker 4: overall are a good enough team to make a deep

1127
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 4: run in the postseason, well then you have my trust,

1128
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,919
Speaker 4: in my faith and I saw this a month ago

1129
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 4: with the Bills. They just need to put together some

1130
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,600
Speaker 4: of those wins and to borrow the phrase that Jared

1131
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 4: use to see the ball go through the hoop and

1132
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 4: build that confidence. And I think that win over the

1133
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,319
Speaker 4: Chiefs is kind of what's propelling them into this home

1134
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,360
Speaker 4: stretch kick and that may last into the postseason.

1135
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 6: But how long does it last?

1136
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 7: That's true because that game took place on December tenth.

1137
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 7: The Super Bowls not until February I think twelfth, right, So,

1138
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 7: because it's it's kind of funny because Rich I know

1139
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 7: you know this, because this is this is like a

1140
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,720
Speaker 7: phrase that I love that I'm sure every winning cures

1141
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:18,600
Speaker 7: a lot. It does like it. There could be a

1142
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 7: rotting carcass in the locker room if you win the game.

1143
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 6: It doesn't smell as bad.

1144
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 7: It just and I think it's going really well right now,

1145
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 7: and it will go really well for the next two

1146
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 7: weeks because they're gonna be a double digit favorite this week.

1147
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 7: They are, and they're gonna be a double digit favorite

1148
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 7: at home against Patriots next week, and we won't get

1149
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 7: a sense for just how how much this team has

1150
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 7: really grown until probably week eighteen. But more than likely

1151
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 7: not until the second week of January.

1152
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:52,120
Speaker 6: We're not even at New Year's.

1153
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 7: Yet, so can this Bills team sustain these good vibes

1154
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 7: for the next month. And it's kind of funny because

1155
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 7: there was a stench around this team after the postseason

1156
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 7: failure against Cincinnati, right everybody said, well, the defense, defense, defense,

1157
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 7: and well it's McDermott's defense. But it was Leslie Fraser

1158
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 7: that took the leave of absence after the Super Bowl

1159
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 7: and everyone's like, wait a minute, this is a really

1160
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 7: good defense. Why is Leslie Fraser, the defensive coordinator last

1161
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 7: year leaving? And then we read the story about McDermott

1162
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 7: this year and we kind of figure it out that,

1163
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 7: you know, Leslie Fraser was the guy that got to

1164
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,040
Speaker 7: push out the door for all the bad things that

1165
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 7: happened this year. It was Ken Dorsey, the offensive coordinator.

1166
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 7: There's always this, you know, level of protection away from

1167
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 7: Sean McDermott, and McDermott took a lot of heat. Well

1168
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 7: credit to the Bills. They rallied around that heat. They

1169
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 7: overcame that adversity to beat the Chiefs. Can that carry

1170
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 7: you all the way to the Super Bowl again? That

1171
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,439
Speaker 7: game took place on December tenth. Can everything go well

1172
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:49,919
Speaker 7: for the next two months, that this team is able

1173
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 7: to dodge all of these land mines that Brian's alluding to,

1174
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 7: the turnovers and Josh Allen's headspace and Sean mcdermot's it's

1175
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 7: a lot, and I think it might be too much

1176
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 7: to overcome. But right now they're in a really good position.

1177
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 7: We won't know anything for another month.

1178
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 2: It's too much. They're not gonna do it.

1179
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 7: I agree, I would tend to agree with you, but

1180
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:10,760

Speaker 2: team lead of sports Trading at bet MGM seamous this Bowl,

1212
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 2: the schedule here, these seven games? Holy hell, do you

1213
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 2: see any value? Not the sexiest matchups, but sometimes that

1214
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 2: makes for some good value betting wise.

1215
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 11: Hey, sol uh the valleys in the eye of the beholder,

1216
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 11: I think okay. So, I mean, if you still think

1217
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 11: there's some value up there personally, I have the value

1218
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 11: that's gone I think probably on a lot of these

1219
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 11: games about a week ago, when you have all these

1220
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 11: transfers announcing and coaches leaving like at JMU. So, I mean,

1221
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 11: if you think there's still some value up there, half

1222
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 11: at it.

1223
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 6: You know what's funny, shame is because I hear this

1224
01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 6: all the time.

1225
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 7: Well, Vegas knows, Vegas knows. You guys don't know anything

1226
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 7: compared to what really is taking place out there. Everyone

1227
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 7: thinks that, oh, well, you know the lines moving this.

1228
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 7: You guys are just as keen to this as we are.

1229
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 7: You're you're probably scrolling the internet trying to figure out

1230
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 7: if these kids.

1231
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 6: Are playing or not.

1232
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 7: Like the stuff the other night with Frank Harris was

1233
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 7: just bizarre, and it's just we get to this point

1234
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 7: in the year and you're in the same position as

1235
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:51,959
Speaker 7: we are trying to figure out if these kids are.

1236
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 6: Playing or not.

1237
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 11: I like in booking Bowl games to booking the draft,

1238
01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 11: because nine times out of ten, it's all the closing launch,

1239
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 11: trade down information, you know what differences. You know, they

1240
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,479
Speaker 11: go up there and play football game for sixty minutes

1241
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 11: and we have shot where we maybe we can get lucky.

1242
01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 11: You know, in a draft, you know, you get beat

1243
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 11: by the sharp action and it's information pretty much done.

1244
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 11: It's I mean, it's really hard to stay ahead of

1245
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 11: these but that's why, just it's important. Just you know,

1246
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:25,439
Speaker 11: profile your customers right, make sure you're you're taking bets

1247
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:26,959
Speaker 11: from the guys who definitely know the most.

1248
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 7: I know.

1249
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 4: I know we talk about sharp betters and and you know,

1250
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 4: market movers and things like that a lot because obviously

1251
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 4: their influence matters, and it can make it harder to

1252
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 4: handicap games not knowing what they know.

1253
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 3: But overall, like I'll give you an example.

1254
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 4: So I work on the weekends with Fox Sports Radio,

1255
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 4: but I host a local show in San Diego, and

1256
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 4: we focus on the NFL so much so that there

1257
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 4: are times where we'll welcome on an injury specialist or

1258
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 4: a doctor who can speak about you know, potential candidates

1259
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 4: to return from injury or how severe an injury is,

1260
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 4: and it gives NFL betters an edge.

1261
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 3: There's websites devoted to this.

1262
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 4: You could have memberships to get you know, up to

1263
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 4: date injury news like live and up to the second.

1264
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 4: I mean, has all this made it easier or more

1265
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 4: difficult to handicap games? The flow of information for not

1266
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 4: only sports books but also the end user, which is

1267
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 4: the betters.

1268
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 11: I mean from from the booky standpoint, you know, it's

1269
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 11: still there can be ten thousand new websites of all

1270
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 11: different information that open up tomorrow and we still know

1271
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 11: who the betters are going to move the line and whatnot. Yeah,

1272
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 11: and as far as information goes, it is You're right.

1273
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 11: There is a million different angles you could take with

1274
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 11: betting literally any sports. You could be a guy who

1275
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 11: only bets off injury stuff. You could be a guy

1276
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 11: who maybe you got your own model that you think

1277
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 11: you have an edge on the on the market. But yeah,

1278
01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 11: I mean from a betting perspective, I mean you just

1279
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 11: got to find what what you think gives you an edge,

1280
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 11: and then I mean you got to you gotta track it,

1281
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 11: you gotta back test it.

1282
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 2: I want to ask you nine questions at one Shaman.

1283
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 2: I don't know where's way to go, right because there's

1284
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 2: some sexy NFL matchups, But I'm just curious, because we

1285
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 2: talk prop bets a lot on the show, could you

1286
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 2: give us an idea at BETMGM, what percentage of the

1287
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 2: money you typically bring in is prop bets? Right, Like

1288
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 2: if you compare it to sides and totals, like you

1289
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 2: bet on this team, you bet on this over under, whatever,

1290
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 2: how much of what you bring in typically has to

1291
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 2: do with just props solely.

1292
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 11: I think it depends on the sport you're talking about,

1293
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 11: like when it comes to college sports, Like obviously for

1294
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 11: a while, like we didn't have a lot of problems

1295
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 11: this here for football and basketball, where we have more

1296
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 11: player off rings and you have more props that we offer.

1297
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 11: But it's still around like eighty percent on like the

1298
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 11: spread moneyline in total for college sports grand NFL, it's

1299
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 11: probably a little bit further down. I think probably between

1300
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 11: like sixty five seventy percent. At the end of the day,

1301
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 11: everyone's throwing in spreads and money lines and told in

1302
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 11: the parlays teasers, what have you. But I mean the

1303
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 11: more sports standing expanse, the more you're going to see

1304
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 11: just you know, heavy play on props, I think player props. Yea,

1305
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 11: you're already seeing kind of like a big boom right now.

1306
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1307
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 7: And the difference is to you guys have much you know,

1308
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 7: smaller limits on the props than you do on the

1309
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 7: spreads and the totals, I'm assuming, and that allows you know,

1310
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 7: the big groups to come in and bet the spreads

1311
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,439
Speaker 7: and totals where it is a little bit more recreational

1312
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 7: on the props, and that probably decreases to handle a

1313
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 7: little bit.

1314
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 6: All right, let's get into the games today.

1315
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 7: I mean, I guess the NFL is kind of the

1316
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 7: soup a jore now that we'll have Saturday games I

1317
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 7: think for the rest of the year until week eighteen.

1318
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 7: But it looks like Cincinnati right the value has kind

1319
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:51,000
Speaker 7: of all been extracted from the Bengals. I'm assuming you're

1320
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 7: having trouble writing Pittsburgh money today, but maybe now that

1321
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 7: the lines at three, maybe a little more buyback on

1322
01:05:56,200 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 7: the Steelers at home.

1323
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:01,720
Speaker 11: Trouble an understatement. It's one way. It's one way traffic

1324
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 11: on the Bengals. Yeah, we're going to need the Steelers

1325
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 11: preferably out right. I mean, you have a lot of

1326
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 11: people who bought a half point a full point down

1327
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 11: two on the Bengals as well. So I think Steelers,

1328
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 11: Steelers making this a very close game is going to

1329
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 11: be our need here.

1330
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:20,520
Speaker 4: When I look at this Chargers spread, obviously they're dogged

1331
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 4: at home by twelve points. How difficult is it to

1332
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 4: gauge motivation when you're a sportsbook and even put a

1333
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 4: line on a game like this, because, I mean, the

1334
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 4: Chargers have close to nothing to play for individually, obviously,

1335
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 4: always in the NFL there's a lot to play for.

1336
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 4: All these players are putting out film. The Bills have

1337
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 4: so much more to play for. How difficult it is

1338
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,200
Speaker 4: to spot the line to start to open at when

1339
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:47,960
Speaker 4: you have a week like this in the NFL.

1340
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think we opened something at like eleven, and

1341
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 11: we opened thirteen and a half. Actually came down to

1342
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 11: twelve and a half. I think it's I mean, you

1343
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 11: play in the NFL, you know like these guys, I mean,

1344
01:06:58,040 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 11: they're not going to go out there and just roll over.

1345
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 11: These guys are playing for their job next year, and

1346
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 11: you know their careers so it's hard to just make

1347
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 11: on there. They're just going to roll over. But I

1348
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 11: mean every everybody knows the motivation for the Bills. Uh,

1349
01:07:11,320 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 11: they have to win. So everyone's just lining up the Caesars.

1350
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 7: You name it.

1351
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 11: It's it's all Bills money. So well, well, God willing

1352
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:25,800
Speaker 11: easton stick Christmas Miracle.

1353
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 6: I was there last Thursday, Jamous. It wasn't pretty, Bud.

1354
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 7: It was a stick shift manual transmission with that offense.

1355
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: I couldn't.

1356
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:34,120
Speaker 11: I couldn't sat in that game.

1357
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 1: That was all goodness.

1358
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, what did we watch before you go?

1359
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 2: Seamus? We got to know the Seamous special? How do

1360
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 2: we get rich this weekend? Today? Sunday?

1361
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 11: What do you have circled the football today? If I'm

1362
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:52,760
Speaker 11: being blunt, thanks these games. So we're going to the

1363
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 11: We're going to the court, We're going to basketball. They

1364
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 11: have a great game today with Arizona playing f a

1365
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,840
Speaker 11: U in Vegas today. Yeah, I'm gonna lay sticks and

1366
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 11: a half points of Arizona. I think this team is

1367
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 11: really really good. I think they come out and make

1368
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 11: another statement today.

1369
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 6: I like it.

1390
01:09:05,840 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 10: the Philadelphia seventy six ers toppled Toronto one twenty one

1391
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 10: to one eleven. Joel Andbi thirty one points and ten

1392
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 10: rebounds for his thirteenth consecutive thirty ten game. We have

1393
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 10: some fresh NBA news because literally just a few minutes ago,

1394
01:09:21,160 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 10: Lebron James tweeted the following quote, why do players have

1395
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:29,719
Speaker 10: to be retired before going into the Hall of Fame?

1396
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 10: Coaches get in while still coaching, rightfully, so wondering what's

1397
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 10: the difference? Though unquote, well, not surprisingly people out there

1398
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:44,800
Speaker 10: have some thoughts in the comments section. You don't say

1399
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 10: at lebronkitas lebronkitas that's a clever user name. Can't wait

1400
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 10: until you're the first NBA player to be inducted into

1401
01:09:54,280 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 10: the Hall of Fame while still playing in the league.

1402
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 10: Another great achievement in your pocket, just like the rest

1403
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 10: of your great achievements.

1404
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 9: Others, however, not feeling it.

1405
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:08,960
Speaker 10: Galen commenting Broun needs some more accolades after the Mickey

1406
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 10: Mouse and in season title. Doug feels the same way, posting,

1407
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 10: I still think you're still about one bubble trophy and

1408
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:21,600
Speaker 10: two in season banners away unquote and finally fellas in

1409
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 10: the NFL. This next item just proves that sometimes social

1410
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 10: media just might not be worth the trouble. There's just

1411
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 10: too many minefields out there. So the Cleveland Browns on

1412
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 10: social media innocently posted a very cute drawing of their

1413
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 10: players in cartoon form wearing Cleveland Brown's pajamas around a

1414
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:46,640
Speaker 10: Christmas tree and a roaring fire in the fireplace, with

1415
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 10: presence the whole nine yards the whole holiday cozy theme.

1416
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 10: But fans quickly noticed that the Browns player who was

1417
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 10: depicted closest to the fireplace in the drawing was Tied

1418
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:04,280
Speaker 10: End and David Najoku, who earlier this season suffered burns

1419
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 10: to his face and arms while trying to light a

1420
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 10: backyard fire. Ped Najoku himself a good sport about all this,

1421
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 10: commenting he all did not have to put me by

1422
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 10: the fire though.

1423
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 3: Back to you guys, thank you.

1431
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:43,360
Speaker 2: big time in the last couple of weeks. He's had

1432
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 2: a couple of really really good games, and he's funny.

1433
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:48,639
Speaker 2: He talked about, gosh, what was it the Bears game

1434
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 2: last week? Were the Hail Mary? Very funny? The Bears

1435
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 2: almost caught the ball and won the game, and he

1436
01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 2: said he nearly, you know, soiled himself. I guess we

1437
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:03,360
Speaker 2: could say, right, Yeah, he's funny man. He's got a

1438
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 2: good sense of humor.

1439
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 4: I yeah, I mean, and talk about what a season

1440
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 4: for him from the standpoint of being one of, if

1441
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:16,599
Speaker 4: not the best receiving option. How many quarterbacks have thrown

1442
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:17,799
Speaker 4: footballs to him this season?

1443
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 3: Is it four? Is it five?

1444
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 4: Or yes, at least four, It's four dtr and Flacco

1445
01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 4: and Deshaun Watson, I mean PJ.

1446
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:30,719
Speaker 3: Walker then ye fourth. It's been absolutely.

1447
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:32,759
Speaker 4: Absurd for the Cleveland Browns, and he's been a constant

1448
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 4: through it all. So not only a great personality, but

1449
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 4: a really great player. When you think about the obstacles

1450
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 4: to have any sort of success this season and.

1451
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 7: The Browns there, I mean, let's be honest, guys. They

1452
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,679
Speaker 7: play the Texans this week without CJ. Stroud, they face

1453
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 7: the Jets next week without any semblance of anything really,

1454
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,639
Speaker 7: and then they finished with the Bengals, that game could

1455
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:57,720
Speaker 7: be win or go home in the AFC Wildcard. The

1456
01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 7: way that it's shaken out so this Brown season has

1457
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 7: been I mean, Kevin Stefanski deserves all the flowers.

1458
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 2: It's interesting that same division, Bengals and the Browns. Yeah,

1459
01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:11,400
Speaker 2: well they both lose their quarterbacks, and a lot of

1460
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 2: people thought, well, no Burrow, they're cooked. No Deshaun Watson,

1461
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:18,519
Speaker 2: it's over. And both teams are in the playoff picture.

1462
01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 2: So they've they've done a really good job losing their

1463
01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:22,719
Speaker 2: their top guy.

1464
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 7: That's gonna be a big game Week eighteen. I just

1465
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 7: realized that looking at the Brown schedule, I mean the

1466
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 7: way that it's shaping out for both teams, I mean

1467
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 7: that's gonna be a massive I mean that rivalry too.

1468
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 3: Who yeah, yeah, absolutely are.

1469

1494
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:03,600
Speaker 2: We'll start with you. What do you like?

1495
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:05,960
Speaker 7: Well, I know we don't love the college card today,

1496
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:07,640
Speaker 7: But I have an angle here to present to you

1497
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 7: fine folk, to see if you'll come with me on

1498
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:11,000
Speaker 7: this prop.

1499
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 6: And it's in the Hawaii Bowl later tonight.

1500
01:15:13,080 --> 01:15:15,639
Speaker 7: I'm wearing the Rainbow Warrior shirt tonight. I'm very excited

1501
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 7: for this game at San Jose State Coastal Carolina, and

1502
01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:23,679
Speaker 7: I think Chevin Cordero's passing yards, passing touchdowns, anything passing

1503
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,799
Speaker 7: related is a good look to be over. Why well,

1504
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 7: there's just a lot of good vibes for the San

1505
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 7: Jose State team on the islands. Of course, Vin used

1506
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 7: to play at Hawaii. You've got the coach Brennan is

1507
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 7: the cousin of the former or the late former Hawaii

1508
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 7: quarterback Colt Brennan. And it's Chevin's last game, so I

1509
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 7: just think there's gonna be a lot of positive things

1510
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 7: for the San Jose State team. You might hear about

1511
01:15:44,840 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 7: them a little later in the show. We're gonna go

1512
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:49,800
Speaker 7: over on Cordero's passing yards prop in this game. I

1513
01:15:49,800 --> 01:15:52,439
Speaker 7: think he's gonna go out in style on the Islands tonight.

1514
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:56,799
Speaker 4: I love college football props during bowl weeks because you

1515
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 4: can you can really get an edge there.

1516
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 3: But I take us to the l for mine.

1517
01:16:01,600 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 4: Focusing on this Saturday night tilt between the Bills and

1518
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:09,720
Speaker 4: the Chargers at SOFI Stadium. James Cook twenty four and

1519
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 4: a half receiving yards. I think there're gonna be times

1520
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:15,880
Speaker 4: where Josh Allen's under duress and the screen game may

1521
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 4: need to come into play. So I'm taking the over

1522
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 4: on the twenty four and a half receiving yards there

1523
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,519
Speaker 4: out of the Bills backfield. Staying with the Bills, I

1524
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 4: think they're gonna feed the need. There's a need to

1525
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:29,720
Speaker 4: get Digs more touches, So six and a half receptions

1526
01:16:29,760 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 4: on the game.

1527
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 3: I think if they're gonna throw the football at all in.

1528
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 4: This game, they're gonna focus on getting it into his

1529
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 4: hands a lot. So Stefan Diggs. I'm taking the over

1530
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 4: on the six and a half receptions, and Dicker the kicker,

1531
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 4: Aaron Zicker. He's got a number of plays to in

1532
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,519
Speaker 4: terms of kicking points at five and a half, I

1533
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 4: like the over there as well. I think the Chargers

1534
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 4: will stall out in the fringe if they get to

1535
01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 4: the Bills side of the field, and you can feast

1536
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:00,240
Speaker 4: on the kicking game.

1537
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 3: Scoring the majority of the points in this one for LA.

1538
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 6: How great was that promo this week?

1539
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:05,760
Speaker 3: Oh my god?

1540
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 7: Good?

1541
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 2: So looking for Pro Bowl Volte and it was a

1542
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 2: better call Saul. Theme is so well done, by the way,

1543
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 2: quick story for you, especially Jared. You mentioned the late

1544
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 2: great Colt Brennan. Yeah, former Hawaii quarterback. So I was

1545
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 2: in Fresno doing radio years ago Hawaii beat Fresno State.

1546
01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 2: I interviewed Colt in the parking lot after the game.

1547
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 2: It's like he was tailgating with a bunch of his friends.

1548
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:34,280
Speaker 2: I interviewed him and he's like, where are you going

1549
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 2: hang out with us?

1550
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:39,679
Speaker 7: Man Like, hey, it's a good story. And the coach

1551
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 7: was wearing the jersey to the press conference this week.

1552
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 7: I like San Jose State later tonight too. I'm feeling

1553
01:17:44,160 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 7: the hell vibes.

1554
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the Steelers Bengals matchup today and I've

1555
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 2: got my eye on move.

1556
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:55,719
Speaker 6: It's our guy, tied.

1557
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 3: In Pat Fryer Mooth.

1558
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 2: Now here's the thing. The Bengals are awful covering tight

1559
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 2: ends one of the worst teams in the league, and

1560
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 2: Mouth hit him up for nine catches for a buck

1561
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:13,479
Speaker 2: twenty wow in the first matchup. His receiving prop is

1562
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 2: twenty five and a half as far as receiving yardage goes.

1563
01:18:17,479 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 2: And I know Mason Rudolph is in there today and

1564
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 2: it was Kenny Pickett in the previous matchup. But what

1565
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 2: do you think Mason Rudolph is gonna do when he's

1566
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:28,880
Speaker 2: throwing the ball. He's gonna look for old reliable, He's

1567
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 2: gonna look for muth. He's gonna look over the middle.

1568
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 2: He's gonna look for favorable matchups. And if the Bengals

1569
01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 2: stink it covering tight ends, wouldn't you throw it to

1570
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:40,280
Speaker 2: your tight end? So I've got mouth going over twenty

1571
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 2: five and a half today.

1572
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 6: I do like that.

1573
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 7: And again, Mason's been there a while and so is Pat.

1574
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:49,400
Speaker 7: Like those guys have been through it. I want to

1575
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 7: say when Mason made when his first stint as the

1576
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 7: starter in Pittsburgh, Pat was still there. I might be

1577
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 7: off by a year or two, but those guys have

1578
01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 7: been in the ringer for a while with that Steelers Frank.

1579
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:04,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mason Rudolph, I believe if he's not the most tenured,

1580
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 4: he's one of. Yeah, certainly the most tenured.

1581
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh twenty one was his last start.

1582
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:10,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's been a while.

1583
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 6: That's two years in the NFL. That's it's a long

1584
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:13,799
Speaker 6: time in the NFL.

1585
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:18,640
Speaker 2: A lot of interesting prop potential bets in that Bengals

1586
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:21,839
Speaker 2: Steelers game. It's not gonna be like wide open offense.

1587
01:19:22,160 --> 01:19:26,320
Speaker 2: But some of these numbers are so grossly low where

1588
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 2: you're like, no Jamar Chase. Maybe Trederwin gets there all right?

1589
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 2: Coming up next, the biggest matchup of the weekend. Oh

1590
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:40,760
Speaker 2: what's going on everybody? Week sixteen in the NFL. A

1591
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 2: little doubleheader today? How about the Peacock exclusive game?

1592
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 3: Right which is the Bills? Huh?

1593
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:50,920
Speaker 6: I gotta sign up for Peacock tonight?

1594
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah? Fired up for that?

1595
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1596
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 6: I call it when five bucks for that one.

1597
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 3: It's like it's a crock. I call it pa krock

1598
01:19:58,720 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 3: p crack.

1599
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,639
Speaker 7: It's like during a football season, usually right when football

1600
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 7: season starts, I always have to sign up for a

1601
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:08,839
Speaker 7: trial to some service to get the PAC twelve network.

1602
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 4: And by the way, all these things work like for me,

1603
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:20,680
Speaker 4: I'm I am their target demographic in terms of the

1604
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,639
Speaker 4: guy who will sign up for Peacock for this game

1605
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 4: because I will yep. And then the guy who will

1606
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 4: inevitably never cancel this subscription, right, Yeah, it'll just get

1607
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:36,040
Speaker 4: baked into the monthlies and I'll look at eventually, I'm

1608
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 4: sure years from now, decade from now, when i'm looking at,

1609
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 4: you know.

1610
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 3: Whatever these prices subscriptions go up to.

1611
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,559
Speaker 4: I'm looking at something like eight hundred dollars in streaming services,

1612
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:47,800
Speaker 4: and I'm just like, all right, we need to start

1613
01:20:47,880 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 4: trimming these down. Peacock actually may make the final list

1614
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:54,800
Speaker 4: of cuts we'll find, but it's gonna be eight years

1615
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 4: or more from this point moving forward.

1616
01:20:56,560 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 2: For Rich Hornberger, well, hey, you don't need Peacock or

1617
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,519
Speaker 2: Christmas Day. You don't need it for the nightcap. And

1618
01:21:03,560 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 2: this is the game of the week. It is Ravens,

1619
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, a couple of eleven and three teams.

1620
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:13,759
Speaker 2: First off, how do you feel for the NBA? Adam

1621
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 2: Silver's like, this used to be our day, man, we

1622
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:22,519
Speaker 2: owned Christmas Day, not anymore. And the nightcap is a

1623
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 2: juicy matchup to say the least. I mean, listen, the Niners.

1624
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 2: The first thing I think about is their rush defense.

1625
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:34,960
Speaker 2: They gave up two hundred and thirty four rushing yards

1626
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:39,440
Speaker 2: against the Cardinals last week. Yeah, they had Javon Hargrave

1627
01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:40,839
Speaker 2: and Eric Armstead.

1628
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 3: They were banged up, They're still banged up.

1629
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:47,880
Speaker 2: So the question is can the Niners defensive front can

1630
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 2: they slow down the Ravens running game, because that's where

1631
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:55,680
Speaker 2: the Ravens specialize. And no Keaton Mitchell, who is a

1632
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 2: really good a change of pace running back for the Ravens,

1633
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 2: gave them some juice.

1634
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:01,639
Speaker 3: He's not in there.

1635
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 2: And so I want to see can Gus Edwards and

1636
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 2: Lamar and that running game can they get the better

1637
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:11,480
Speaker 2: of the Niners, Because if the Ravens win that matchup,

1638
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:14,200
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, they've got a puncher's chance to

1639
01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:16,000
Speaker 2: win this thing, or at least keep it a fourth

1640
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 2: quarter game late.

1641
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:21,160
Speaker 4: You know what's crazy about this matchup is I start

1642
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:26,560
Speaker 4: looking at rosters and comparing position groups and start legislating

1643
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:31,280
Speaker 4: where I give the biggest edge. And obviously, in many

1644
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:35,879
Speaker 4: facets I give that to the forty nine ers. Overall, however,

1645
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 4: at quarterback I give the Ravens the edge except in

1646
01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:45,920
Speaker 4: one very important and frankly quantitative value. You can measure

1647
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 4: this when playing from behind. I think I trust brock

1648
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,760
Speaker 4: Perty more than I trust Lamar Jackson. I don't know

1649
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:56,360
Speaker 4: often have you seen that, though well? And that's the problem.

1650
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,720
Speaker 4: You haven't seen it. You haven't seen it a ton.

1651
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 4: But I trust the composure of Brock Purdy more than

1652
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 4: that of Lamar Jackson. I think he is a great

1653
01:23:07,280 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 4: front runner player. But I think when we're talking about

1654
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:14,879
Speaker 4: arm talent, when we're talking about picking spots for important throws,

1655
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 4: when we're talking about pushing the ball down the field deep, deep,

1656
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 4: deep passing thrower, you know, air yards, things like that

1657
01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:27,120
Speaker 4: down the sideline when it counts, I trust Brock perty

1658
01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:31,679
Speaker 4: in that very important intangible quality. Then I do Lamar Jackson.

1659
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 4: He's just not and never has been a great deep

1660
01:23:34,560 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 4: ball thrower. He's not a great come up from behind artists.

1661
01:23:38,040 --> 01:23:41,439
Speaker 4: And the Baltimore Ravens obviously obviously has built a great

1662
01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 4: team around him, and he has not been in that

1663
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 4: situation a lot. To your point, Brian, but that is

1664
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 4: the one place that I give the forty nine ers

1665
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 4: an edge in terms of the quarterback conversation. So if

1666
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:56,519
Speaker 4: they roar out to an early lead, I think it's

1667
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 4: a long, hard day for the Ravens.

1668
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 7: The follow up I have is, do you trust Brock

1669
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:03,679
Speaker 7: Purty or do you trust Kyle Shanahan? Like I think

1670
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 7: it's more Shanahan's mind through the body of Brock, who

1671
01:24:08,520 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 7: has been like if you were gonna look up in

1672
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:15,640
Speaker 7: the dictionary sports cliche, game manager like Brock Purty is

1673
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:19,679
Speaker 7: like the elite game manager because he is a perfect

1674
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 7: fit for And I don't use that in a derogatory sense.

1675
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 7: In fact, I use it in a complimentary sense. I

1676
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 7: think the best quarterbacks in today's NFL. You obviously have

1677
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 7: the elites, right the Mahomes types, and those guys are

1678
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 7: in a category by themselves. But let's be honest, there's

1679
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:36,800
Speaker 7: one of them, maybe you know, one and a half.

1680
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,240
Speaker 7: If you want to include some of the other great

1681
01:24:39,320 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 7: quarterbacks like the Josh Allens and the Joe Burrows, I

1682
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 7: put them maybe in that tier as well. But for

1683
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:46,879
Speaker 7: the most part, eighty five ninety percent of the quarterbacks

1684
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:48,840
Speaker 7: in the NFL are kind of hovering in that mediocrity

1685
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:51,240
Speaker 7: ranger right below. And it's the coaching staff, the scheme,

1686
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:53,759
Speaker 7: the execution in the offensive line. All of those things

1687
01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:56,720
Speaker 7: have to be executed to perfection in order for the

1688
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 7: offense to be operating a peak capacity. I think the

1689
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 7: Niners do that the best. Where Brock is obviously making

1690
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 7: the decision. He's making the throws, and you give him

1691
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 7: a lot of credit. He's got all the stats and

1692
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 7: he deserves to be the MVP right now based on

1693
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:12,200
Speaker 7: the way the season is trending. But a lot of

1694
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 7: the credit is that roster, the makeup, the scheme, and

1695
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 7: the talent around him. So it will be a very

1696
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:21,679
Speaker 7: fascinating game. I think, based off of the number we're

1697
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 7: starting the leak towards San Francisco, I'm starting to hear

1698
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:28,519
Speaker 7: some very sharp, smart opinions more in the Niners corner here,

1699
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 7: and I understand why I bet the over in this

1700
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 7: game early in the week at forty six and a

1701
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:35,640
Speaker 7: half is forty seven. Now you can still bet that

1702
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,679
Speaker 7: to the over. I just think both of these offenses, frankly,

1703
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:40,600
Speaker 7: are going to be on display. I really like what

1704
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:43,160
Speaker 7: I've seen lately from Lamar Jackson. He looks like a

1705
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 7: wizard out there. He is like Magellan, like you can't

1706
01:25:47,400 --> 01:25:49,240
Speaker 7: find him, you don't know where he is in the pocket.

1707
01:25:49,479 --> 01:25:51,639
Speaker 7: You have the Jaguars that were going through a loop

1708
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 7: last week trying to figure out how to tackle this guy.

1709
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:57,400
Speaker 7: And on the other side, you have this perfectly executed,

1710
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 7: well oiled machine. So both offens I think, have their

1711
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,479
Speaker 7: their way of moving it, and my guesses we do

1712
01:26:03,520 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 7: see a lot of fireworks in this game.

1713
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 2: It's interesting because it could go that way. Jared. The

1714
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 2: thing I keep going back to is you look at

1715
01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:14,839
Speaker 2: these defenses. The Ravens they've held teams to an NFL

1716
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:18,799
Speaker 2: best sixteen point one points per game, and the Niners

1717
01:26:18,800 --> 01:26:22,559
Speaker 2: are second best. They hold opponents to sixteen point seven

1718
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 2: points per game. So the total really stands out to

1719
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 2: me also at forty seven right now. Like you said, Jared,

1720
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:32,880
Speaker 2: I'm just curious it could go the way you're saying.

1721
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,480
Speaker 2: Where you look at Lamar and last week against Jacksonville,

1722
01:26:36,640 --> 01:26:39,720
Speaker 2: they're showing him by time he's buying like eight or

1723
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:41,960
Speaker 2: ten seconds. It's insane.

1724
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:43,200
Speaker 6: Can't cover that long.

1725
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,640
Speaker 2: You cannot do that. You can't cover like that. But

1726
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:50,240
Speaker 2: I'm just curious against these two defenses that have done

1727
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 2: a great, great job limiting points, are we gonna see

1728
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:56,679
Speaker 2: not a slugfest. This isn't gonna be like an old

1729
01:26:56,680 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 2: school thirteen to ten game when it was like Joe

1730
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 2: Myia Tanna and Phil Simms and it's Niners giants or

1731
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:04,880
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But it's not gonna be

1732
01:27:04,960 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 2: like that, but could it be lower than forty seven?

1733
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:09,680
Speaker 2: I could see that happening. The thing I want to

1734
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 2: mention is when you look at quarterbacks, right Lamar and

1735
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 2: brock Purty, and it's something that you said, Jared, where

1736
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:21,200
Speaker 2: game manager it's often said like Cam Newton just said it,

1737
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:24,879
Speaker 2: it's meant as a diss and a lot of times

1738
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 2: it is a compliment where I think we get hung

1739
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:32,719
Speaker 2: up on these intangibles sometimes where there's nothing wrong. Josh

1740
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 2: Allen has great intangibles Rich you said this earlier, elite intangibles,

1741
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:41,719
Speaker 2: but sometimes he's turnover prone. Sometimes he'll make a big

1742
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,720
Speaker 2: mistake in a key moment. And if you look at

1743
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 2: a guy like brock Purty, there's oftenimes where you look

1744
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:49,799
Speaker 2: at it and say, well, he doesn't have the elite

1745
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:53,639
Speaker 2: and tangibles. Well, that's true, but he might not commit

1746
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 2: the big error in the big moment because he leans

1747
01:27:57,400 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 2: more toward the game manager's side. The whole point is

1748
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:04,599
Speaker 2: sometimes the game manager side, depending on the matchup and

1749
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:08,559
Speaker 2: depending on the situation, that's better. That's better than the

1750
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 2: elite in tangibles, which sometimes can end up screwing you

1751
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:12,679
Speaker 2: at the end.

1752
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:13,040
Speaker 3: Of the day.

1753
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have a decidedly San Francisco Lean in this game.

1754
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 4: I think that I think the forty nine ers for

1755
01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:24,719
Speaker 4: a lot of reasons that you just explained right there.

1756
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:28,360
Speaker 4: I just think they're a better built team in a

1757
01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:32,120
Speaker 4: lot of different ways. And it focuses around Kyle Shanahan

1758
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:35,679
Speaker 4: first to your point earlier, Jard, but also brock Perty

1759
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 4: is a special quarterback. I don't care what anybody says

1760
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:42,040
Speaker 4: about scheme fit. And you know, with a different situation,

1761
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:46,120
Speaker 4: how he would look, because that's how Tom Brady's career began.

1762
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:49,599
Speaker 4: Even when he was winning Super Bowls early in his career,

1763
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:51,759
Speaker 4: he was still labeled as a game manager.

1764
01:28:51,960 --> 01:28:53,080
Speaker 3: Well, you're labeled as.

1765
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:55,800
Speaker 4: A game manager up until a point and then people

1766
01:28:55,840 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 4: can't say that anymore, and then all of a sudden

1767
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,160
Speaker 4: they say, oh no, there isn't intentible quality here that's

1768
01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:03,799
Speaker 4: different from the rest of the league.

1769
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 3: And maybe it's clutch factor.

1770
01:29:06,439 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 4: Maybe it's the fact that you show up every single day,

1771
01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:13,120
Speaker 4: every single game, every single play, and you are a

1772
01:29:13,160 --> 01:29:16,639
Speaker 4: difference maker because you're not, to your point, Brian, going

1773
01:29:16,680 --> 01:29:20,400
Speaker 4: to put your team in a situation where you're the problem.

1774
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 4: You will refuse to be the problem, you will only

1775
01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:25,880
Speaker 4: be the solution. So you look at Drew Brees, great

1776
01:29:25,920 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 4: decision maker, very accurate passer, but the biggest, most important

1777
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 4: part of his game was he was so careful with

1778
01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 4: the football, and Sean Payton and him they really thrived

1779
01:29:36,520 --> 01:29:40,800
Speaker 4: off of that because they had such good defenses alongside

1780
01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 4: a very efficient offense. Same thing in New England with

1781
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:48,479
Speaker 4: Tom Brady and the Patriots for a twenty year run.

1782
01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:53,000
Speaker 4: Great defenses, efficient offense, and then at times you had

1783
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 4: game breakers like Randy Moss come around and for two

1784
01:29:55,920 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 4: years you could dominate the league in certain statistic qualities.

1785
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:02,120
Speaker 4: Well that's what's happening with the San Francisco forty nine ers.

1786
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:06,400
Speaker 4: Not good, great defense, really stout pass rush. You have

1787
01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:08,160
Speaker 4: all the things that you need to make a deep

1788
01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:10,880
Speaker 4: postseason run. And then, on top of it, one of

1789
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:13,920
Speaker 4: the most efficient quarterbacks in the league who appears to

1790
01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:17,120
Speaker 4: have ice water in his veins when the moments matter

1791
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 4: the most. So I agree with you, Lamar Jackson intangibly

1792
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:24,280
Speaker 4: impresses me, maybe more than any other quarterback in the

1793
01:30:24,320 --> 01:30:29,160
Speaker 4: league right now. However, brock Perty's composure and the catchable

1794
01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:33,200
Speaker 4: or should say the catchability of those deep passes when

1795
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:35,120
Speaker 4: they need a lean on him to make a play.

1796
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:37,760
Speaker 4: Is part of the secret sauce that makes the forty

1797
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:39,639
Speaker 4: nine ers go yeah.

1798
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:42,559
Speaker 7: I think this is going to be a different different

1799
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:44,880
Speaker 7: offense this week, or at least a different vibe to

1800
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,320
Speaker 7: this offense than what we saw last week with the Ravens.

1801
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:51,040
Speaker 7: Last week, I mean, they were very fortunate. The Jaguars,

1802
01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:55,240
Speaker 7: I think had four drives inside the forty that resulted

1803
01:30:55,280 --> 01:31:00,320
Speaker 7: in zero points and Baltimore was able to just kind

1804
01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:02,519
Speaker 7: of run it left, right and center, and then Lamar

1805
01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 7: Jackson was making you know, improvisation plays and that was enough.

1806
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:09,439
Speaker 7: I don't think that's gonna be enough this week. They're

1807
01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:12,759
Speaker 7: gonna have to show us their best stuff on offense.

1808
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:15,920
Speaker 7: And I think this is the week where you pay

1809
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:18,639
Speaker 7: Todd Munkin in the offseason to come be the offensive coordinator.

1810
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:20,639
Speaker 7: Of course, we saw what he did at Georgia last year,

1811
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:22,720
Speaker 7: and make no mistake about it, we think of the

1812
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:25,879
Speaker 7: SEC as maybe this defensive No. Georgia was an offensive

1813
01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:28,320
Speaker 7: team last year. They're an offensive team this year, and

1814
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 7: it was in large part because of Todd Munkin's ability

1815
01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:36,679
Speaker 7: to just craft a plan. I think getting Lamar Jackson.

1816
01:31:36,920 --> 01:31:39,719
Speaker 7: His receivers involved early in this game is gonna be huge.

1817
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:42,240
Speaker 7: You want to get Odell comfortable. I think Odell might

1818
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:44,719
Speaker 7: have a really big game. This game was built for him.

1819
01:31:45,240 --> 01:31:49,400
Speaker 7: The the Niners are where they are weakest defensively is

1820
01:31:49,439 --> 01:31:51,960
Speaker 7: in the secondary, and they've given up some explosive plays

1821
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:54,479
Speaker 7: this year. You saw it last week against Arizona, and

1822
01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 7: you've seen it multiple times to Cincinnati a couple of

1823
01:31:57,120 --> 01:32:00,000
Speaker 7: games they lost this year justin Jefferson kind of, you know,

1824
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:01,560
Speaker 7: tore them up or not Jefferson. I think it was

1825
01:32:01,560 --> 01:32:05,040
Speaker 7: Addison in that game against the Vikings. But they've given

1826
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 7: up big plays like That's how you get Lamar comfortable early.

1827
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:11,280
Speaker 7: You let him throw it deep. He can throw the

1828
01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:13,479
Speaker 7: deep ball. And they've got a couple of weapons here

1829
01:32:13,479 --> 01:32:16,439
Speaker 7: with Flowers and Odell and with Keaton Mitchell out. I

1830
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:19,719
Speaker 7: think that changes the offense even more where it's gonna

1831
01:32:19,720 --> 01:32:22,679
Speaker 7: be more reliant on the passing game.

1832
01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:25,240
Speaker 6: So I think this is a you let Lamar.

1833
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:25,559
Speaker 3: Be the MVP.

1834
01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:27,000
Speaker 7: If he's the MVP of the league, you go in

1835
01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:30,000
Speaker 7: the Niners then on Christmas Night and you show them why.

1836
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:31,759
Speaker 7: And I think this is going to be an aggressive

1837
01:32:31,800 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 7: offensive game plan early from Baltimore.

1838
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:36,680
Speaker 2: In this game, it's a heavyweight fight, man, Yeah, it

1839
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:40,960
Speaker 2: really is. And fun It's funny too because if you

1840
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:43,960
Speaker 2: look at lamar great stat where he's nineteen and one

1841
01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:47,760
Speaker 2: in his career against NFC teams, and I think, if

1842
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:50,760
Speaker 2: you're doing a whole box in comparison, I think that

1843
01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:54,200
Speaker 2: Lamar's style as a football player, if you haven't seen

1844
01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:57,679
Speaker 2: it before, you're just like, what just happened?

1845
01:32:57,800 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

1846
01:32:58,439 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 2: It'd be like getting into a ring with a really

1847
01:33:01,280 --> 01:33:04,080
Speaker 2: good fighter whose style is just so different. You're like,

1848
01:33:04,320 --> 01:33:06,200
Speaker 2: for the first two or three rounds, you're just like,

1849
01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:09,160
Speaker 2: I don't even know what's going on at this point.

1850
01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:12,599
Speaker 2: So I think that can give Lamar and the Ravens

1851
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:15,240
Speaker 2: an advantage at least early in the game, until the

1852
01:33:15,640 --> 01:33:19,040
Speaker 2: Niners start to feel it out and get a sense

1853
01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:21,439
Speaker 2: for how things are going. The other thing, though, is

1854
01:33:22,280 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 2: if we're doing this whole boxing thing again, I think

1855
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:30,479
Speaker 2: sometimes guys like Lamar Josh Allen, they're ahead on points,

1856
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:32,720
Speaker 2: but they're still looking for a knockout, you know what

1857
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:35,040
Speaker 2: I mean. They're still trying to make the special play,

1858
01:33:35,439 --> 01:33:38,760
Speaker 2: and every now and then it's unnecessary it's better to

1859
01:33:38,920 --> 01:33:42,240
Speaker 2: just hey, man, Floyd Mayweather, this thing on home, you know,

1860
01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:45,080
Speaker 2: like here ahead on points, you don't need to look

1861
01:33:45,120 --> 01:33:47,960
Speaker 2: for a knockout and leave yourself a little bit more vulnerable.

1862
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:51,400
Speaker 2: Just cruise on in and win this thing. You don't

1863
01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:53,720
Speaker 2: have to win just based on knockout. And so I

1864
01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:56,639
Speaker 2: want to see if Lamar can do that. Can he

1865
01:33:56,840 --> 01:34:01,160
Speaker 2: find the blend of being special making jaw dropping place

1866
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:04,400
Speaker 2: but not the big mistake that comes back to bite him. Yeah,

1867
01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 2: because Brock Purty just stylistically, he's more like Floyd Mayweather.

1868
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:11,519
Speaker 2: He's gonna get up on points and then he's not

1869
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:14,720
Speaker 2: gonna do anything drastic or reckless. And a lot of

1870
01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:16,080
Speaker 2: times that's a winning formula.

1871
01:34:16,400 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 4: And and when you and when you pressure Brock, he

1872
01:34:19,360 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 4: stays in the pocket and he delivers bullets like the

1873
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:25,600
Speaker 4: guy just finds the open receiver. I mean, you know

1874
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:28,439
Speaker 4: similarly about Lamar Jackson, though, like you said, this is

1875
01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:30,280
Speaker 4: a title fight. This is gonna be such a fun

1876
01:34:30,320 --> 01:34:34,439
Speaker 4: matchup to watch. He's actually better when he's pressured and

1877
01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:37,840
Speaker 4: he's improvising, and he's better against man coverage than he

1878
01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:39,240
Speaker 4: has against zone.

1879
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:40,920
Speaker 3: Because typically you're pressured more in man.

1880
01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:45,200
Speaker 4: Coverage because he has an incredible ability to move his

1881
01:34:45,240 --> 01:34:50,320
Speaker 4: feet and actually increase his ability to throw catchable football

1882
01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:52,439
Speaker 4: when he's improvising that.

1883
01:34:52,439 --> 01:34:55,759
Speaker 3: That's that's all. That says a lot about his talent.

1884
01:34:56,360 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 4: But but again, if you can hem him in, if

1885
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:01,680
Speaker 4: you can keep him in the pocket, if you can

1886
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:04,280
Speaker 4: find a way to limit the damage he does in

1887
01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:07,559
Speaker 4: the planned run game, and you really you try to

1888
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:10,719
Speaker 4: make him beat you with your arm, especially playing from behind.

1889
01:35:11,479 --> 01:35:15,479
Speaker 4: That is has always been the rubric for success against

1890
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:17,400
Speaker 4: the Lamar Jackson Baltimore Ravens.

1891
01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:20,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I love this fancy word.

1892
01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:20,719
Speaker 2: Fancy.

1893
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:22,320
Speaker 3: That is a fancy word.

1894
01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:23,000
Speaker 2: I like that word.

1895
01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:25,160
Speaker 7: I like the game almost as much as I like

1896
01:35:25,240 --> 01:35:30,760
Speaker 7: that word. Hey, Ravens probably are going to struggle to

1897
01:35:31,280 --> 01:35:33,640
Speaker 7: stop the Niners offense, I think, I honestly, I do

1898
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:35,120
Speaker 7: think the over is the best bet in this game.

1899
01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:36,599
Speaker 7: But I think the Niners win, you want to lay

1900
01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:38,639
Speaker 7: it with San Fran probably gonna be sweating it late.

1901
01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:40,479
Speaker 7: I don't think it's gonna be like the Eagles game was.

1902
01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:44,280
Speaker 7: But I do think Baltimore's offense like you're gonna see

1903
01:35:44,720 --> 01:35:47,840
Speaker 7: their best stuff, the best plays. The bet like this

1904
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:51,719
Speaker 7: is the showcase game. For Lamar, for Todd Mounkin for Odell.

1905
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:54,280
Speaker 7: Like to me, this is the Flowers game, I think

1906
01:35:54,320 --> 01:35:56,920
Speaker 7: for this not Zay Flowers, but sure, why not the

1907
01:35:56,960 --> 01:35:58,639
Speaker 7: Flowers game for this Ravens offense.

Speaker 3: All right.

1933
01:37:12,160 --> 01:37:14,120
Speaker 2: The question of the week in the NFL? Just how

1934
01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:19,160
Speaker 2: many points are the Dolphins going to beat the Cowboys? Ooh,

1935
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, what do you guys?

1936
01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:20,760
Speaker 6: Do you have?

1937
01:37:20,800 --> 01:37:24,639
Speaker 2: Double digits are a little bit closer, you know, seven six,

1938
01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:27,559
Speaker 2: something like that, But I don't know how many do

1939
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:28,439
Speaker 2: you think they're gonna win?

1940
01:37:28,520 --> 01:37:28,800
Speaker 3: By us?

1941
01:37:29,040 --> 01:37:34,200
Speaker 4: The Miami Dolphins are such a good team against bad teams,

1942
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:40,640
Speaker 4: But so are the Dallas Cowboys. That's right, Like, like

1943
01:37:40,760 --> 01:37:42,479
Speaker 4: what a fantastic matchup.

1944
01:37:42,560 --> 01:37:45,120
Speaker 3: I know, I know, the the.

1945
01:37:44,560 --> 01:37:47,120
Speaker 4: Forty nine ers in Baltimore. I mean, the steam will

1946
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:50,679
Speaker 4: only continue to grow over the holiday weekend and they're

1947
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:53,439
Speaker 4: the last game played in Week sixteen, So we're gonna

1948
01:37:53,439 --> 01:37:56,640
Speaker 4: be you know, jazzed for this Ravens forty nine Ers

1949
01:37:56,760 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 4: matchup the entire the entire weekend.

1950
01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:02,960
Speaker 3: But Dallas Miami is the best matchup.

1951
01:38:02,880 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 4: Because these are this is the Spider Man meme that

1952
01:38:07,200 --> 01:38:09,679
Speaker 4: they're looking at each other and pointing saying Who's who.

1953
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:12,640
Speaker 3: Because Dak Prescott.

1954
01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 4: To me is I mean a very good analog to

1955
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:18,320
Speaker 4: who too a tongue of I loo is, if not

1956
01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:21,080
Speaker 4: slightly more durable over the course of his career. They're

1957
01:38:21,120 --> 01:38:25,120
Speaker 4: very similar players, and frankly, the Dallas defense and the

1958
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:28,479
Speaker 4: Miami defense very similar in my mind, you know, very

1959
01:38:28,520 --> 01:38:32,800
Speaker 4: capable at times, very opportunistic at times, but can be

1960
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 4: absolutely swallowed up by better offenses. And then offensively, both

1961
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:43,200
Speaker 4: these teams capable piling up huge numbers, but the problem

1962
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:47,160
Speaker 4: is against better teams or better defenses in bigger moments,

1963
01:38:47,600 --> 01:38:49,639
Speaker 4: they sometimes fold up shops.

1964
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:52,160
Speaker 3: So I'm very curious how this one goes.

1965
01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:56,120
Speaker 4: I don't have a great feel from a betting standpoint

1966
01:38:56,680 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 4: what direction this lands, but I will say, from just

1967
01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:03,800
Speaker 4: a fan standpoint, if you love the NFL, this is

1968
01:39:03,840 --> 01:39:06,760
Speaker 4: the most intriguing game on the schedule, hands down.

1969
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:10,320
Speaker 7: Yeah. I mean, I think I think the number is

1970
01:39:10,400 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 7: telling me the spread is still undecided. I have not

1971
01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:16,639
Speaker 7: seen and it could have changed this morning. I actually

1972
01:39:16,680 --> 01:39:17,840
Speaker 7: haven't checked the line on this game.

1973
01:39:17,880 --> 01:39:18,360
Speaker 6: This morning.

1974
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:22,040
Speaker 7: Let's check it right, Nah, and it does.

1975
01:39:22,280 --> 01:39:23,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, still one and a half.

1976
01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:25,639
Speaker 7: But I haven't seen any significant movement in either direction.

1977
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:28,280
Speaker 7: But the total has seen some movement. We have seen

1978
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:31,200
Speaker 7: this total move down, and I think that makes sense, right.

1979
01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:32,720
Speaker 7: If you want to talk about this again, put on

1980
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:35,320
Speaker 7: the Quentin Tarantino hat. Let's script this thing out. So

1981
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:39,800
Speaker 7: Dallas is coming off of their worst performance of the year. Defensively,

1982
01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:43,400
Speaker 7: James Cook ran it all over this Dallas defense, and

1983
01:39:43,479 --> 01:39:46,400
Speaker 7: I'm sure they're reading all week long, how they a

1984
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:49,519
Speaker 7: can't stop the run and b can't win on the road.

1985
01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:52,200
Speaker 7: That's probably all they're reading this week, those two things.

1986
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:57,480
Speaker 7: And usually when those things happen, and it's the Dallas Cowboys,

1987
01:39:57,520 --> 01:40:02,000
Speaker 7: so the message will always be amplified. I always expect

1988
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:05,120
Speaker 7: to bounce back, because the professionals these things tend to bounce,

1989
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:07,639
Speaker 7: you know. They You're never as good as you look

1990
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:09,240
Speaker 7: when you're on your best week. You're never as bad

1991
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:10,800
Speaker 7: as you look on your worst week, So they tend

1992
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:13,280
Speaker 7: to go back to level. So I think Dallas's defense

1993
01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:16,080
Speaker 7: will play better this week, especially against the run on

1994
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:17,040
Speaker 7: Miami side.

1995
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:20,639
Speaker 6: I know that too. In the offense is great, but Brian,

1996
01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 6: you could correct me if I'm wrong.

1997
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:25,559
Speaker 7: Is this Miami team becoming a defensive team with Vick

1998
01:40:25,640 --> 01:40:28,559
Speaker 7: Fangio and Jalen Ramsey and all the great pieces they

1999
01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:30,120
Speaker 7: have on the defensive side of the ball.

2000
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:32,120
Speaker 6: They shut out the Jets last week, and I know that's.

2001
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:33,880
Speaker 7: You know, you could do that pretty easily these days.

2002
01:40:33,880 --> 01:40:39,280
Speaker 7: But I think Miami defensively is becoming an identity for

2003
01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:42,240
Speaker 7: this team. And that's why I think the total has

2004
01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:44,400
Speaker 7: gone down a tick here because right now we're talking

2005
01:40:44,400 --> 01:40:47,120
Speaker 7: a lot about the offenses, rightfully so, but I think

2006
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:51,240
Speaker 7: both of these defenses, maybe on Miami side, gets overlooked

2007
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:53,320
Speaker 7: a little bit because of how explosive they are on offense.

2008
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:56,840
Speaker 7: On Dallas's side, they're gonna need that defense down the

2009
01:40:56,840 --> 01:40:59,040
Speaker 7: stretch to stop the run and to really put Dak

2010
01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:01,840
Speaker 7: in good positions because they're gonna have to go on

2011
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:03,720
Speaker 7: the road and win some playoff games based on the

2012
01:41:03,720 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 7: way these standings might be playing out here.

2013
01:41:07,240 --> 01:41:12,519
Speaker 2: Listen, it depends with the Dolphins defense. Sometimes, like last week,

2014
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:15,200
Speaker 2: pitching a shutout, it's the NFL. I know it's the

2015
01:41:15,240 --> 01:41:17,840
Speaker 2: Jets offense, but pitching a shutout is really good in

2016
01:41:17,880 --> 01:41:20,600
Speaker 2: the NFL. But just a week prior, they're up by

2017
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 2: two touchdowns at home against Will Levis and the Titans,

2018
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:29,400
Speaker 2: and they can't win. They can't get a stop. DeAndre

2019
01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:32,920
Speaker 2: Hopkins lit them up. So they're just weird. They're jekylin Hyde.

2020
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:35,559
Speaker 2: When they're on, they're pretty good. When they're off, it's

2021
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 2: just like what happened today, So they're not to be trusted,

2022
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,799
Speaker 2: I think is the way it goes. But to your point, Jared,

2023
01:41:42,840 --> 01:41:46,479
Speaker 2: when they're on, they're good. It's just you don't know

2024
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:48,640
Speaker 2: when they're gonna be on or not. And when I

2025
01:41:48,680 --> 01:41:51,400
Speaker 2: go back to the injury bug, look, man, this is

2026
01:41:51,439 --> 01:41:54,080
Speaker 2: what makes it a little bit trickier. The Dolphins have

2027
01:41:54,160 --> 01:41:57,320
Speaker 2: some injuries on their offensive line a lot, but you

2028
01:41:57,360 --> 01:42:01,519
Speaker 2: look at the Cowboys. Zach Martin is nicked up, Tyron

2029
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:05,839
Speaker 2: Smith is out, and you have Jonathan Hankins, their stud

2030
01:42:05,880 --> 01:42:09,800
Speaker 2: nose tackle. They needed him significantly last week against James

2031
01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:13,120
Speaker 2: Cook and the Bills and they had no answers. So

2032
01:42:13,960 --> 01:42:15,920
Speaker 2: I hear you, Jared. They're gonna be hearing all this

2033
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:18,600
Speaker 2: throughout the week. The question is do they have the

2034
01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:21,519
Speaker 2: guys to do something about it? And when you look

2035
01:42:21,520 --> 01:42:23,439
Speaker 2: at the Dolphins running game. It's one of the best

2036
01:42:23,520 --> 01:42:27,960
Speaker 2: running games in football. And so if that's a like

2037
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 2: a balanced attack and Tyreek is back and you're able

2038
01:42:32,439 --> 01:42:35,880
Speaker 2: to run it with mostert, I don't see the Cowboys

2039
01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:37,880
Speaker 2: defense doing a whole heck of a lot better in

2040
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:38,479
Speaker 2: this one.

2041
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:43,080
Speaker 4: I look at the a the Dallas Cowboys are just

2042
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:47,280
Speaker 4: not a very good road team this season, and the

2043
01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:51,040
Speaker 4: Miami Dolphins, from the standpoint of playing at home, have

2044
01:42:51,160 --> 01:42:55,800
Speaker 4: a more of an advantage in South Florida during the

2045
01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:59,240
Speaker 4: early portion of the season, where you know, they it's

2046
01:42:59,240 --> 01:43:02,519
Speaker 4: super hot, humid, and I've been in those games and they.

2047
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:03,520
Speaker 3: Are just slogs.

2048
01:43:03,560 --> 01:43:06,759
Speaker 4: But this is like, this is like a nice place

2049
01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:09,640
Speaker 4: to play for teams visiting Florida at the end of

2050
01:43:09,680 --> 01:43:13,680
Speaker 4: the season. So maybe this is a better comp for

2051
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:19,559
Speaker 4: the Cowboys to what they would experience at home. Then,

2052
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 4: for example, Buffalo a week ago, you know, it's second

2053
01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:26,480
Speaker 4: straight road test though, and the Dallas Cowboys have steeply

2054
01:43:26,640 --> 01:43:30,600
Speaker 4: underperformed on the road. I guess my lean would be

2055
01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:33,760
Speaker 4: Miami if I was forced to choose. But here's my

2056
01:43:33,760 --> 01:43:38,040
Speaker 4: problem with Miami. Tyreek Hill coming back the narrative. Sometimes

2057
01:43:38,080 --> 01:43:41,679
Speaker 4: the tail wegs the dog and I don't know how,

2058
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:44,639
Speaker 4: and none of us will know exactly how Tyreek Hill

2059
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:49,200
Speaker 4: has looked at practice nursing this ankle injury. But you

2060
01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:51,720
Speaker 4: know there's going to be a push to help this

2061
01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:55,640
Speaker 4: guy break this record, and he needs to average one

2062
01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:59,759
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty two and a half giver so yards

2063
01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:02,559
Speaker 4: over his next three games in order to become the

2064
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:06,000
Speaker 4: first player in NFL history to break the two thousand

2065
01:44:06,080 --> 01:44:10,840
Speaker 4: receiving yards Barrier and Mike McDaniel, I believe there's a

2066
01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:14,760
Speaker 4: vanity there. I think he loves the experience of being

2067
01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:18,839
Speaker 4: considered an offensive genius, and if you have a record

2068
01:44:18,960 --> 01:44:24,599
Speaker 4: like that to your name, it's important. And he makes

2069
01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:27,800
Speaker 4: history alongside Tyreek Hill because Tyrek Hill did that in

2070
01:44:27,880 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 4: his offense, not in Andy Reid's offense.

2071
01:44:30,560 --> 01:44:31,759
Speaker 3: In his offense.

2072
01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:36,759
Speaker 4: So I think, even though this is a really important game,

2073
01:44:37,240 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 4: I think there are some distractions swirling around Miami.

2074
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:43,080
Speaker 3: That could affect them. But like I said, if.

2075
01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:46,439
Speaker 4: I were to lean based on how poor the Dallas

2076
01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:49,599
Speaker 4: Cowboys have played on the road this season, I would

2077
01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:52,120
Speaker 4: lean towards Miami defending their home turf.

2078
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:56,880
Speaker 7: Under I think unders the bet here guys. I mean,

2079
01:44:57,280 --> 01:44:59,840
Speaker 7: and you said it, Brian both offensive lines are banged up,

2080
01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:01,559
Speaker 7: so we'll see who runs the ball.

2081
01:45:02,280 --> 01:45:04,400
Speaker 6: And people love betting overs.

2082
01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:06,960
Speaker 7: In these games. I mean they just they absolutely love it.

2083
01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:10,400
Speaker 7: They're gonna see Miamis and it's I think now at

2084
01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:14,719
Speaker 7: this stage of the year, the unders become more valuable

2085
01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:18,680
Speaker 7: to me because it's just win baby. It does not

2086
01:45:19,200 --> 01:45:22,600
Speaker 7: style points in these games are meaningless.

2087
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:24,840
Speaker 6: Win the game now.

2088
01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:28,000
Speaker 7: Anything can happen once the ball gets kicked off. Fluke

2089
01:45:28,040 --> 01:45:31,680
Speaker 7: turnover here, fumble six, fumble, Ruski interception. You know we

2090
01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:34,960
Speaker 7: saw hel Mary intercepted for a touchdown.

2091
01:45:34,520 --> 01:45:35,120
Speaker 3: Earlier this year.

2092
01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:37,320
Speaker 7: I mean, anything could happen in these games. But if

2093
01:45:37,360 --> 01:45:41,720
Speaker 7: you want to ask me, the vibe of this game, like,

2094
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:44,280
Speaker 7: the vibe of this game is, in my opinion, going

2095
01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:47,439
Speaker 7: to look completely different than the vibe and Niners Ravens.

2096
01:45:47,760 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 7: I think the vibe in Niners Ravens is we need

2097
01:45:50,479 --> 01:45:54,240
Speaker 7: to score because we've got an offense on both sides

2098
01:45:54,280 --> 01:45:57,320
Speaker 7: of the ball that are just explosive and dynamic. I

2099
01:45:57,360 --> 01:45:59,960
Speaker 7: think it's gonna be a little tighter in this Dolphin

2100
01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:04,320
Speaker 7: Cowboys game. I don't know if both of these quarterbacks

2101
01:46:04,360 --> 01:46:07,439
Speaker 7: are ready for the moment just yet. And I think

2102
01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:12,080
Speaker 7: both coordinators, both coaches know maybe Tua is not in

2103
01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:15,000
Speaker 7: this boat. I think McDaniel let it rip. But I

2104
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:16,680
Speaker 7: think the Dolphins are more of a running team than

2105
01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:18,559
Speaker 7: they are passing team most days, at least when they're

2106
01:46:18,560 --> 01:46:21,719
Speaker 7: at their best. And for the Cowboys, man, if Dak

2107
01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:24,720
Speaker 7: just looks a little Dak looks so bad last week

2108
01:46:24,720 --> 01:46:27,639
Speaker 7: on the road, Like if they start out slow again,

2109
01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 7: do they take the ball out of Dak's hands and

2110
01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:31,320
Speaker 7: rely on the running game a little more?

2111
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:31,400
Speaker 1: Like?

2112
01:46:31,439 --> 01:46:34,240
Speaker 6: I just I think the game between Dallas and Miami is.

2113
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:36,320
Speaker 7: Going to be more of the phone booth game, whereas

2114
01:46:36,400 --> 01:46:38,439
Speaker 7: Baltimore San Francisco is going to be more of the

2115
01:46:38,479 --> 01:46:39,240
Speaker 7: spread it out game.

2116
01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:44,000
Speaker 2: Well, you mentioned being Ready. There's a guy who was

2117
01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:48,160
Speaker 2: born Ready. It's actually his nickname, Isaac born Ready low

2118
01:46:48,240 --> 01:46:49,920
Speaker 2: End Kron. I don't know if you guys know that

2119
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:51,799
Speaker 2: or not. I low with the latest.

2120
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:59,120
Speaker 10: You've unearthed my deep seated secret, my true middle name.

2121
01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:02,720
Speaker 10: Very impressive. I'm kind of creepy, I gotta be honestly, No,

2122
01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:05,559
Speaker 10: I'm just kidding. We actually have some fresh NFL news

2123
01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:08,040
Speaker 10: for you guys this morning. The Chicago Tribune reporting that

2124
01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:12,400
Speaker 10: the Chicago Bears signing placekicker Cairo Santos to a four year,

2125
01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:16,720
Speaker 10: sixteen million dollar extension through the twenty twenty seven campaign.

2126
01:47:17,160 --> 01:47:20,320
Speaker 10: We've got two games coming up later on this Saturday,

2127
01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:23,200

2131

Speaker 10: Giff Smith, hosting the eight and six Buffalo Bills. And

2132
01:47:39,320 --> 01:47:42,679
Speaker 10: on a side note, on social media, within the last hour,

2133
01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:47,160
Speaker 10: a Buffalo Bills fan has posted a preview of himself

2134
01:47:47,200 --> 01:47:48,479
Speaker 10: getting ready for the game.

2135
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:50,360
Speaker 9: The fan posted a video of.

Speaker 10: mourning morning coffee with a can of l bat be

2139
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:07,000
Speaker 10: preparing for the game tonight against the Los Angeles Chargers.

2140
01:48:07,040 --> 01:48:09,759
Speaker 10: On Friday night in the NBA, the Golden State Warriors.

2141
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 10: If you had the Washington Wizards one twenty nine to

01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:16,400
Speaker 10: one eighteen, Steph Curry thirty points in just twenty seven minutes.

2162
01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:25,799
Speaker 2: Seamus McGee mentioned it last hour. He can't find anyone

2163
01:49:25,840 --> 01:49:27,479
Speaker 2: to bet on the Pittsburgh Steelers.

2164
01:49:27,880 --> 01:49:30,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, a.

2165
01:49:30,800 --> 01:49:34,599
Speaker 3: Little yeah, that was that was Yeah.

2166
01:49:34,640 --> 01:49:37,960
Speaker 4: He was like, we really need the Chargers, and we

2167
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:44,639
Speaker 4: really need those Steelers this weekend. And I'll tell you though, boy,

2168
01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 4: when we talk about holding our nose to take to.

2169
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:51,040
Speaker 3: Take a side, yeah, good lord, I mean I don't

2170
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:51,320
Speaker 3: like that.

2171
01:49:51,479 --> 01:49:55,080
Speaker 2: Well, here's the question, which do you have to hold

2172
01:49:55,160 --> 01:49:59,200
Speaker 2: the nose more on? Is it the Steelers plus three

2173
01:49:59,479 --> 01:50:02,800
Speaker 2: question or is it the Chargers twelve and a half?

2174
01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:03,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the Charger.

2175
01:50:03,760 --> 01:50:05,439
Speaker 7: He's lost by forty less.

2176
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:07,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has twelve and a half.

2177
01:50:08,400 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 4: No, but just think about the reasons why Brandon Staley

2178
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:15,400
Speaker 4: was fired and then also what's transpired this week. Like

2179
01:50:15,439 --> 01:50:17,479
Speaker 4: Brandon Saley got fired because this has been one of

2180
01:50:17,520 --> 01:50:21,280
Speaker 4: the NFL's poorest defenses over the past three seasons, and

2181
01:50:21,280 --> 01:50:23,479
Speaker 4: he was supposed to be a defensive minded head coach.

2182
01:50:23,840 --> 01:50:27,040
Speaker 4: The only reason why the Chargers have stayed afloat over

2183
01:50:27,080 --> 01:50:30,559
Speaker 4: the years has been because of their offense and their

2184
01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:34,599
Speaker 4: offensive star power. They literally are out of offensive stars

2185
01:50:34,640 --> 01:50:37,280
Speaker 4: and Austin Eckler is a limping to the finish line

2186
01:50:37,280 --> 01:50:41,439
Speaker 4: this season. He looks hurt, he he looks he doesn't

2187
01:50:41,439 --> 01:50:45,120
Speaker 4: look bad, he just looks like he isn't right, So

2188
01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:47,760
Speaker 4: there is no juice in La.

2189
01:50:47,920 --> 01:50:48,120
Speaker 3: Right.

2190
01:50:48,160 --> 01:50:51,160
Speaker 7: Now, here's the question here, we'll finish it with this.

2191
01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:54,760
Speaker 7: Which quarterback would you rather like one start? For all

2192
01:50:54,800 --> 01:50:58,200
Speaker 7: the marbles? Easton Stick or Mason Rudolph?

2193
01:50:58,240 --> 01:51:03,240
Speaker 3: Wow, who do you want? Dealers thinks less Yeah.

2194
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:04,600
Speaker 6: The lesser of two evils.

2195
01:51:05,320 --> 01:51:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's uh, it would be Mason. But because of

2196
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:14,439
Speaker 2: the matchups, right like that that that Bengals defense is

2197
01:51:14,479 --> 01:51:20,719
Speaker 2: not great at all. When when they're their bottom five

2198
01:51:20,760 --> 01:51:23,840
Speaker 2: in terms of giving up rushing yardage, you talk about

2199
01:51:23,880 --> 01:51:26,320
Speaker 2: helping out your your quarterback run.

2200
01:51:26,160 --> 01:51:30,120
Speaker 7: The ball, Dealers probably cover. I'm probably gonna I'll probably

2201
01:51:30,200 --> 01:51:33,160
Speaker 7: woos out at the last minute and take Steelers plus

2202
01:51:33,200 --> 01:51:36,519
Speaker 7: three because I'm sitting there with my Bengals minus two ticket. Well,

2203
01:51:36,520 --> 01:51:39,000
Speaker 7: here's what's gonna happen. I'm gonna lose my Troy minus

2204
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:40,760
Speaker 7: six and a half bet in the in the early

2205
01:51:40,800 --> 01:51:42,880
Speaker 7: window here with these bowl games, and I'm gonna be like,

2206
01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:45,000
Speaker 7: you know what, I'm not having a good day, and

2207
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:46,200
Speaker 7: I'll bet the Steelers plus three.

2208
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:48,280
Speaker 3: Just you'll just you'll just middle it.

2209
01:51:48,400 --> 01:51:53,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, isn't that the best?

2210
01:51:53,880 --> 01:51:55,280
Speaker 2: It's gotta be exactly to.

2211
01:51:57,040 --> 01:52:01,920
Speaker 3: You and you're thinking, how is it gonna be two?

2212
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:05,719
Speaker 2: Did not even have It'll happen in those glorious days

2213
01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:07,639
Speaker 2: once every five years or so.

2214
01:52:07,960 --> 01:52:11,080
Speaker 3: We've got.

2215
01:52:11,600 --> 01:52:14,640
Speaker 2: There you go. We've got Rich Orenberger, Penn State All American,

2216
01:52:14,840 --> 01:52:19,759
Speaker 2: Jared Smith FSR, betting analyst. I'm Brian no coming up next,

2217
01:52:20,479 --> 01:52:24,040
Speaker 2: our plays, all of our picks. I might have a

2218
01:52:24,080 --> 01:52:28,320
Speaker 2: bonus pick today. Oh no, I had a Texas A

2219
01:52:28,400 --> 01:52:33,080
Speaker 2: and M running back Leon Moss. He missed the game,

2220
01:52:33,280 --> 01:52:35,800
Speaker 2: so I've got an extra pick to make in my

2221
01:52:35,880 --> 01:52:39,559
Speaker 2: back pocket. Might be today, I don't know. We'll see

2222
01:52:39,560 --> 01:52:42,639
Speaker 2: if the mood strikes me. It is Fox Sports Radios

2230
01:53:12,680 --> 01:53:17,160
Speaker 2: of picks to make. Let's do it.

2231
01:53:17,600 --> 01:53:20,800
Speaker 1: Rapid fire, Okay.

2232
01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:21,519
Speaker 3: Shared We'll start with you.

2233
01:53:21,560 --> 01:53:23,840
Speaker 7: What are you think of Well, last week it was

2234
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:28,439
Speaker 7: bad guys two and one. Not good this year under

2235
01:53:28,479 --> 01:53:31,040
Speaker 7: five hundred, but still time and I'm thinking the three

2236
01:53:31,080 --> 01:53:33,080
Speaker 7: and oh week. So here we go Northwestern plus six

2237
01:53:33,120 --> 01:53:35,639
Speaker 7: and a half the Las Vegas Bowl. So Utah goes

2238
01:53:35,640 --> 01:53:38,120
Speaker 7: from back to back Rose Bowls to the Las Vegas Bowl.

2239
01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:40,639
Speaker 7: And they'll be playing in this game without their starting

2240
01:53:40,720 --> 01:53:44,839
Speaker 7: quarterback Bryson Barnes, without their leading receiver Davon Veley, another receiver,

2241
01:53:44,920 --> 01:53:47,360
Speaker 7: both starting safeties, and a starting defensive lineman. So I

2242
01:53:47,360 --> 01:53:49,799
Speaker 7: think Northwestern is the more motivated team. And how about

2243
01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:52,559
Speaker 7: the job that David Brown has done taken from that

2244
01:53:52,600 --> 01:53:53,919
Speaker 7: Pat Fitzgerald disaster.

2245
01:53:54,160 --> 01:53:56,800
Speaker 6: The Northwestern win total was three. Yeah, they won seven

2246
01:53:56,840 --> 01:53:57,439
Speaker 6: games this year.

2247
01:53:57,439 --> 01:53:58,200
Speaker 7: Impressive stuff.

2248
01:53:58,200 --> 01:53:59,600
Speaker 6: I'll take Northwestern.

2249
01:53:59,080 --> 01:54:01,160
Speaker 7: Plus six and a half. I'll also take San Jose

2250
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:04,760
Speaker 7: State laying eights numbers coming down a little bit Melee Khalikimaka.

2251
01:54:04,920 --> 01:54:07,360
Speaker 7: In the Hawaii Bowl, I think the Aloha vibe for

2252
01:54:07,479 --> 01:54:10,880
Speaker 7: Chevin Cordero, former Hawaii quarterback, and you get the head

2253
01:54:10,920 --> 01:54:14,600
Speaker 7: coach who is the cousin of the former late the

2254
01:54:14,640 --> 01:54:17,200
Speaker 7: former Hawaii quarterback, Colt Brendan. So you just get some

2255
01:54:17,240 --> 01:54:19,559
Speaker 7: really good vibes for the Spartans. I'll take San Jose

2256
01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:20,360
Speaker 7: State minus steed.

2257
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:21,439
Speaker 3: I love it, I love it.

2258
01:54:21,479 --> 01:54:25,800
Speaker 4: Look, I'm channeling Rich three and zero from Do It

2259
01:54:25,840 --> 01:54:26,679
Speaker 4: three weeks ago.

2260
01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:30,080
Speaker 3: The Bills. They're going to beat the Chargers by a

2261
01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:32,720
Speaker 3: million points. Nobody's rolling over in La.

2262
01:54:32,880 --> 01:54:36,800
Speaker 4: However, almost all of their offensive stars are on the shelf,

2263
01:54:37,320 --> 01:54:39,920
Speaker 4: and the poor defense is the reason why Brandon Staley

2264
01:54:39,960 --> 01:54:43,280
Speaker 4: got fired. Give me the Bills minus twelve. Also, I'm

2265
01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:46,000
Speaker 4: doubling up on the Monday nighter here. Okay, the matchup

2266
01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:49,040
Speaker 4: between the Baltimore Ravens the San Francisco forty nine Ers

2267
01:54:49,280 --> 01:54:53,760
Speaker 4: will deliver fireworks. They'll be big plays, big risks taken.

2268
01:54:54,280 --> 01:54:56,240
Speaker 4: I like the over on the total, which sits at

2269
01:54:56,280 --> 01:54:58,520
Speaker 4: forty seven and a half this morning. Also, I like

2270
01:54:58,560 --> 01:55:02,320
Speaker 4: the Niners taking an early lead and winning by a touchdown.

2271
01:55:02,360 --> 01:55:05,320
Speaker 4: San Francisco favor by five. I'll give those points. I

2272
01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:06,560
Speaker 4: like the home favorites here.

2273
01:55:08,440 --> 01:55:11,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I got four picks for you.

2274
01:55:12,040 --> 01:55:13,680
Speaker 7: Oh yes, I knew you were doing it this week.

2275
01:55:13,720 --> 01:55:17,160
Speaker 2: He's in my bonus pick. Let go so two picks

2276
01:55:17,200 --> 01:55:20,920
Speaker 2: in two different games to try to you know, so

2277
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:26,760
Speaker 2: you remember it. I'm looking at the Steelers hosting the Bengals. Here,

2278
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:30,440
Speaker 2: give me mooth. I'm gonna double down on friar Mouth

2279
01:55:30,840 --> 01:55:33,600
Speaker 2: over twenty five and a half receiving yards. Bengals do

2280
01:55:33,640 --> 01:55:37,400
Speaker 2: a terrible job covering tight ends. I also like both

2281
01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:42,040
Speaker 2: Bengals running backs catching the ball out of the backfield.

2282
01:55:42,120 --> 01:55:45,400
Speaker 2: The Steelers have done a really poor job as of late,

2283
01:55:45,800 --> 01:55:49,000
Speaker 2: a lot of injuries to their middle linebackers. They struggle

2284
01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:52,760
Speaker 2: covering running backs out of the backfield. I'll take Joe

2285
01:55:52,800 --> 01:55:56,280
Speaker 2: Mixon over eighteen and a half receiving yards. I also

2286
01:55:56,440 --> 01:55:58,560
Speaker 2: like Chase Brown out of the backfield as well to

2287
01:55:58,600 --> 01:56:01,120
Speaker 2: catch it. So keep an eye on. I'm gonna go

2288
01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:04,600
Speaker 2: over to this Cowboys game against the Dolphins. Give me

2289
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:06,720
Speaker 2: my fins minus a point and a half. They've heard

2290
01:56:06,920 --> 01:56:11,400
Speaker 2: all season long they can't be anybody good, and now

2291
01:56:11,440 --> 01:56:14,360
Speaker 2: you get a matchup where the Cowboys are banged up

2292
01:56:14,360 --> 01:56:17,320
Speaker 2: in the trenches, you're at home. I think they get

2293
01:56:17,320 --> 01:56:19,480
Speaker 2: it done. And I'm gonna look at their running back

2294
01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:23,800
Speaker 2: Raheem Moster. His longest rush prop is at thirteen and

2295
01:56:23,880 --> 01:56:27,880
Speaker 2: a half. Give me the over there. No Jonathan Hankins,

2296
01:56:28,280 --> 01:56:31,000
Speaker 2: I think he rips off at least one big run,

2297
01:56:31,520 --> 01:56:35,560
Speaker 2: So I'll take raheem moster over thirteen and a half

2298
01:56:35,640 --> 01:56:38,920
Speaker 2: longest rush. Oh wow, what do you guys think of that?

2299
01:56:38,960 --> 01:56:39,480
Speaker 6: First off?

01:57:25,560 --> 01:57:28,760
Speaker 7: I have been picking these Bowl games since I was

2321
01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:30,960
Speaker 7: in middle school, not betting on them, but I've done

2322
01:57:30,960 --> 01:57:33,720
Speaker 7: bull pick them since I'm like I was like thirteen

2323
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:36,200
Speaker 7: years old. And there's one rule that I always have,

2324
01:57:36,480 --> 01:57:40,920
Speaker 7: no matter what, you never you never fade a service

2325
01:57:41,000 --> 01:57:45,920
Speaker 7: Academy team in a military bowl. That is rule number

2326
01:57:46,080 --> 01:57:49,200
Speaker 7: one of bull betting. So we're obviously laying one and

2327
01:57:49,200 --> 01:57:52,400
Speaker 7: a half points with air Force today in the Armed

2328
01:57:52,520 --> 01:57:57,400
Speaker 7: Forces Bowl. James Madison's got a ton of opt outs.

2329
01:57:57,480 --> 01:57:59,280
Speaker 7: I know some of the kids are playing their head

2330
01:57:59,280 --> 01:58:02,600
Speaker 7: coaches gone, half the coaching staff is gone, and air

2331
01:58:02,640 --> 01:58:05,520
Speaker 7: Force is getting their quarterback back, Larry a who they

2332
01:58:05,560 --> 01:58:07,480
Speaker 7: went eight to no with until he got hurt. So

2333
01:58:07,560 --> 01:58:10,000
