I This is unscripted and not that 18 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: our show is written, but we do kind of plan 19 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: out we're going to talk about and Dan, I want 20 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: to get to your your topic in a second. Something 21 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: we discussed because tonight you got charged taking on the 22 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,119 Speaker 1: Chiefs in Brazil. We are all fans of the man 23 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: Rob Parker. Is that fair right, I'm we're fans of 24 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 1: the man. 25 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 4: Robs a great guy, great guy. 26 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 2: Yep. 27 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: Okay. His of his signature takes, right of his signature 28 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: takes are the ones you're like, Rob Parker, like any 29 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: the guy who said, Okay, that's your signature take his 30 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: signature takes. I believe probably number one, definitely on his 31 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: Mount Rushmore is that Tom Brady was not the greatest 32 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: quarterback of all time, but the luckiest quarterback of all time. 33 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: Doesn't he call him the lope, the luckiest of all time? 34 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: Am I correct in saying that? 35 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 5: Guys? 36 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:47,199 Speaker 2: Yes? 37 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: Okay. So he is openly rooting for Bill Belichick to fail. 38 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: He's made it a point in his radio show. That's 39 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: what his show essentially at times see and Kevin Washington 40 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: when he's like, Hey, I just want to I'm so 41 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: happy he lost. I want him to lose because he 42 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: wants to prove right that he's not. He's arrogant, not 43 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: really that good at coach. Without Tom Brady, he'd be nothing. 44 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: That goes completely counter to his signature take. If Tom 45 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: Brady's just lucky, well then Bill Belichick has to be good. 46 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: But if Bill Belichick was just lucky, to have Brady 47 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: then how does that actually work? Am I making sense? 48 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 4: Yep? 49 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 2: Yep? 50 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: Okay, I mean obviously part of this is we know 51 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: too much. North Carolina takes on Charlotte, which used to 52 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 1: be North Carolina Charlotte. Now it's just Charlotte and their 53 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: thirteen and a half point favorites against the forty nine ers, 54 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: which didn't we have a discussion about how why they're 55 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: forty nine ers? Is that last week? Was that us 56 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: thought we did? I had that discussion with somebody, why 57 00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: are they forty nine ers? But North Carolina goes to Charlotte, 58 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: and I think they play where the Panthers play in 59 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: Bank of America, and then they take on Charlotte, so 60 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: they'll win this week, and if they win this week, 61 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: people'll not mention it at all. But I just I 62 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: thought that was a contradictory to his signature take take 63 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: and call. 64 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 4: Them out on such. 65 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 6: I'm sure he'll be challenged with that at some point 66 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 6: and then we'll get some kind of explanation. 67 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 4: So I don't know how you can have it both ways. 68 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 4: How Brady can be when. 69 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: It's your show, You can't, But how can you explain it? 70 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: I don't know that'd be great. I would love to 71 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: I would love to know that. Okay, tonight we have 72 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: Chargers Chiefs. Before we get to your take on it, 73 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: Dan Byer, you got a couple of Charger fans here, right, 74 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: but you also had a guy who picked the Chiefs 75 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: to win to go to the super Bowl. Okay, So 76 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: before again, before we get to that, let me just 77 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: state I don't think the Chiefs are that good. I 78 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: would love to see the Chiefs not get to the 79 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: super Bowl. I would love to see somebody new get there, 80 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, or me, even our guy Herbie 81 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: or Joe Burrow get back to the super Bowl. I 82 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: would love to see that happen. But every year that 83 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes has been a starting quarterback, he's been at 84 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: minimum the AFC Championship Game. So it stands the reason 85 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: it's really really dumb to pick against Pat Mahomes and 86 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,559 Speaker 1: Andy Reid when we have like a decade of data 87 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: that tells us if he's playing quarterback, they're going to 88 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: be in the AFC Championship Game. So when I say that, 89 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: that is my take emotion out of it, take any 90 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: analysis out of it, and just go with historical data 91 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: and do the best you can with it. That's where 92 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 1: I am on the Chiefs Okay, Jay Stu. I think 93 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: we both know that the Chargers are in a much 94 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: better place with Jim Harbaugh as their head coach, right 95 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: Like we both like, yeah, he'll figure it out eventually. 96 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: But they lost their starting left tackle, the best in 97 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: the league or one of the best, in Rashawn's Slater. 98 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: It's still it's year two, so it's still a work 99 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: in progress in terms of them changing the roster around. 100 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: Wide receiving Corps Lad McConkey is the best. You know, 101 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: you you know you bring back out of a legend 102 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: as well. I don't know where are you on the charge, Like, 103 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: what are your reasonable expectations as a Charger fan. 104 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 4: I think that the Slater thing is is devastating. To 105 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,679 Speaker 4: be honest, I hate it. I actually told Dan Bayer, 106 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 4: who's an Ohio state guy who hates that Jim Harbaugh 107 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 4: got away with what he did at Michigan, I said, 108 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 4: take solace in this. Karma has ways of coming back around, 109 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 4: and I think maybe the Slater injury is karma for 110 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 4: what Jim Harbaugh did at Michigan. Just my theory. I 111 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 4: can't prove it, but I'm thinking. 112 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 1: I'm thinking Rashwan Slater getting hurt is karma for for 113 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: a no name coordinator going out and stealing signs. 114 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 4: And not getting punished for it. 115 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: They get punished for it, barely, barely. They have suspended 116 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: for games. They got punished for it. 117 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, buyer disagrees, And I said, Dan, if. 118 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: You can say, you can say the punishment wasn't severe 119 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: enough in your opinion, but please don't say they haven't 120 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: been punished for it. But everyone involved that we're aware 121 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: of has been punished somewhat severely. 122 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 3: Anyway. 123 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 4: Point of contention between the buyer and Gottwade. 124 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: Buyer's just, I mean, buyer completely ignores all of Ohio 125 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: states misgiving. 126 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 2: I just I just don't want Doug to get into 127 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: shouting fest twenty. 128 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's okay, okay, here's dog's talking loud. 129 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 2: Dogs talking, dog's talking loud. 130 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: Let's get to this. Is Dan Patrick on tonight's Chief 131 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: Chargers game. 132 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,119 Speaker 3: You have the Chiefs and the Chargers in Brazil. Now 133 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 3: here's the problem I have with this. I know we're 134 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,119 Speaker 3: getting to you know, global expansion here, but the fact 135 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 3: that the Chargers in Chiefs, a divisional rivalry game is 136 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: going to be played in Brazil is malpractice. I mean, 137 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 3: that's terrible because that should be played in Los Angeles 138 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 3: or if it was going to be played in Kansas City. 139 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 3: This is a divisional game, and I don't think the 140 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 3: fans in Brazil were going to go, hey, we better 141 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 3: get an opening game, we better get a week one game. 142 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: I'm not anti international. What I am anti is a 143 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 3: divisional game we're going to export and it's week one. 144 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 3: You can't do that to the Chiefs and the Charger 145 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 3: fans this week seven and then you have a bye week. 146 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: If you want to do it that way, then I 147 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 3: think it's fair to all involved. You can still have 148 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 3: games there, but let's not have opening days or their 149 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 3: first week, their first game, a divisional game, and you're 150 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 3: going to play it in Brazil. 151 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: Last year was Packers, I mean Packers Eagles. It was 152 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: in Brazil on a Friday night, so same BAT time, 153 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: same BAT channel, same conference, different division, but it ended 154 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: up being a rematch in the playoffs, right, So I 155 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: do think that there are some very specific parts of 156 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: this matchup which makes it okay. And this is as 157 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 1: a Charger fan, what do we think the ratio is 158 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 1: in Sofi? Game was supposed to be played in Sofi? 159 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: Just see, how do you know? Because they're still playing 160 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: Chargers Chiefs in Kansas City. Okay, so this was a 161 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: Chargers home game. And the first thing is, if we're 162 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: honest with ourselves, the Chargers have to kind of do 163 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,680 Speaker 1: everything they can to acquiesce to the league because without 164 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: the league, they wouldn't have the sweetheart deal of no 165 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: rent being in Los Angeles, tripling the value of the frame. Right, 166 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: they have a lot. There's some benefits to it, but 167 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose a game. Okay, it sucks that you're 168 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: losing a Chief's home game. On the other hand, a 169 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: Chief's home game is full of Chiefs fans. I've been 170 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: to this game. It's three quarters red and maybe a 171 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: quarter of powder blue. You go to Brazil and there's 172 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: not a ton of local fans. It's a neutral side game. 173 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 2: I actually think there's a world where you go you 174 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 2: really think that the Chargers are just as popular in 175 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 2: Brazil than than the Chiefs are. 176 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: No, but again, it doesn't it's not like that of fans. 177 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: They don't like they it's not not the same. Do 178 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: you think it's the same level of passion. They're just 179 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: they wear the Mahomes jerseys because they've seen him win, 180 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: and they sing songs, likely because that's what you do 181 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:56,239 Speaker 1: in other countries. But it's not the raucous chiefs kingdom atmosphere, 182 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: if you will. And I look, we we have exported, 183 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 1: specially to England and Germany, some dog poop games, right 184 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: like how many times? Like did we get the did 185 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: we get the Jaguars again? Bloody hell, we got to 186 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: Jaguars again. We're sending two good button teams down there, 187 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: good colors. Okay, Dann Byer, are you taking away? 188 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 2: It's a much bigger story than just the Chargers don't 189 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 2: draw well at home because to what you're saying, I 190 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 2: think that travel is involved as well. Instead of sleeping 191 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 2: at home in your beds, not having a travel weekend. 192 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 2: The Chargers now have eight of those this year. Every 193 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: team in the AFC outside of the Chargers have nine 194 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: of those. So there, so they're they're at a disadvantage there, 195 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 2: maybe not every team, but I'll get to that in 196 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 2: a second. The NFL prides itself on this balanced schedule 197 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 2: so much so that we basically know fourteen of seventeen 198 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 2: opponents for every team for next year and guess what 199 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: the year after that and the year after that, because 200 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 2: they have a scheduling motto, a model where this division 201 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: plays that division, that division plays that division, and it 202 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 2: just goes on and on and on. So players make 203 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: sure that they're in a stadium, like Patrick Mahomes is 204 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: at least going to play in a game at Soldier 205 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 2: Field in Chicago at one point during what an eight 206 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 2: year cycle. That's kind of the goal of the NFL. 207 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 2: The problem is with the international series that you talk of, Doug, 208 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 2: is because there are five international games. Excuse me, there 209 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 2: are seven international games this year. Six of those will 210 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: take place in Germany in Europe, one in Germany, one 211 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 2: in Ireland, then you've got the London games, then we 212 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 2: have one in Madrid, and then we have the game 213 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 2: in Brazil. Of the six other games, five of those 214 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: are cross conference AFC against NFC Vikings and Steelers, Vikings 215 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 2: and Browns, Rams and Jaguars, Falcons and Colts, Commanders and Dolphins. 216 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 2: Those don't hurt you as much in the standings when 217 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 2: it comes to tiebreakers and other deals. The other game 218 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 2: is a battle of AFC teams in London between the 219 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 2: Broncos and Jets. But the last time that we've had 220 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: a divisional matchup he played in an international game was 221 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two with the Cardinals and forty nine Ers, 222 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 2: and the last time it happened in an international game 223 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 2: in Europe was twenty nineteen when the Panthers and Buccaneers 224 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 2: ended up playing a game. So the NFL has made 225 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 2: an effort to try not to have divisional games. And 226 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 2: the reason why I think it's such a problem, Doug, 227 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: is because the NFL, and this goes back to the 228 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 2: schedule rotation, wants to tell us that their schedule is fair. 229 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 2: They also want to tell us, Doug, that the division 230 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: is so important. Winning your division says so much. Winning 231 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 2: your division gives you a playoff berth and a home 232 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 2: game for the first round of the playoffs, so much 233 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 2: so that they can never get that changed, even this 234 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 2: past offseason with the rules Committee on the competition committee. 235 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: The owners want that valuable home game for winning your division, 236 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 2: Then why are you putting this game when it's so 237 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 2: valuable thousands and thousands of miles away, When it's a 238 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 2: clear benefit to Kansas City, and it's not a benefit 239 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: to the Chargers. Just because Kansas City gets to keep 240 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 2: their nine home games, they don't have to play eight 241 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 2: true road games. Now they get to play seven road games. 242 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 2: And that's the problem with it is it's it's not 243 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: whether the Chargers draw the Chiefs draw. It's the NFL 244 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 2: and what they're trying to tell us. They're telling us 245 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 2: that the winning the division matters, and it matters so 246 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 2: much that you're going to get a home game in 247 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: the first round of the playoffs. And we think it 248 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 2: matters so much that we're going to make Week eighteen 249 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 2: all division games. And Mike Carmen and I on our 250 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: I Want Your Flex podcast, little plug there. I've talked 251 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: about this for years. I mentioned earlier half the games 252 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 2: of Week eighteen don't even matter because teams are out 253 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 2: of it. So it's more of the messaging with the NFL. 254 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: And it's not that your points aren't valid, because I 255 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 2: think that they are in reasons and sticking up you know, 256 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 2: on why the NFL would do this. But the NFL 257 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 2: tells us one thing and then does another. And that's 258 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: my problem with it is this game does mean something 259 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: to the Chargers just to be able to make Kansas 260 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 2: City make a road trip and have the Chargers be 261 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 2: able to sleep in their own beds, I think is 262 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 2: a decent advantage and the Chargers don't have that advantage. 263 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 2: And so there are other teams that are giving up 264 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: home games this year in the AFC, but those opponents 265 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,360 Speaker 2: are against NFC folks, except the Jets who have that 266 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 2: game against the Broncos. That's why I think it's tough 267 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 2: and also truly, the Chargers are one of the few 268 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 2: teams in the NFL rams Seahawks forty nine ers who 269 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: actually have the toughest time because of their location period 270 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 2: in travel when they have to go to the East Coast, 271 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 2: much more difficult for them to travel. So now you're 272 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: tape making them travel even more on a weekend that 273 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 2: they weren't supposed to. That's where I think that the 274 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: NFL is in a complete double standard and talking out 275 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: of both sides of their mouths. 276 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: Jay Stew, does it matter to you as a Charger fan? 277 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, it matters, It matters. I would take a hybrid 278 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 4: of everything that Mark Dominic said, Dan Patrick said, and 279 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 4: Dan Bayer just said it. Each of you all made 280 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 4: very compelling points that I think speak for the Charger 281 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 4: fan because there are like twelve of us. I think 282 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 4: maybe fifteen now because of Jim Harbaugh. So Doug's right 283 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 4: in that most Charger home games are neutral games. But 284 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 4: for everything Dan just said, I'm not even gonna do 285 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 4: it the disustice of reiterating it. I want to add 286 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 4: this point. I am the guy on this network who's 287 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 4: been saying I have no idea who the international game serves. 288 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 4: It doesn't serve the players, It doesn't serve the traditional 289 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 4: rights holders. To have this game on YouTube. It's got 290 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 4: to piss NBC, CBS or whoever off that they don't 291 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 4: have a Chargers Chiefs game to play. And it certainly 292 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 4: doesn't serve us the fan. We have to go out 293 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 4: of our way to watch it on some streaming network. 294 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 4: It puts a little bit more money into rich people's pockets, 295 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 4: that's all it does. That's what kind of pisses me off. 296 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: How much did they get for the YouTube game? Do 297 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: we know? 298 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 4: I don't know a billion? 299 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: Does anybody know? 300 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 2: I don't have it offhand. I'm gonna look it up, 301 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 2: and I know Sam probably will too. 302 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: I would say who does it serve. I mean, first 303 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: thing is that it serves all the teams in the 304 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: NFL because this is another network. It's in terms of business, 305 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: it's genius. I'm not disagreeing with you, but you missed 306 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: you missed the big element. Okay. The first thing is 307 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: that anytime, this is where Goodell is going to go 308 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: down as historically the greatest commissioner in the history of sports, 309 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: and Adam Silver's trying to copy it. If we really 310 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: get down to it, it's how many networks can you 311 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: get on? They're on every network, They're on Amazon, they're 312 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: on Netflix, and now they're on YouTube. Like that's incredible. 313 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 1: And so when you get when you explore different networks 314 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: and different opportunities, that's new money, that's not found new money, 315 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: and it goes into all the teams. And then yeah, 316 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 1: I mean, like I think they the game is popular 317 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: and they're trying to but bit by bit kind of 318 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: educate the world on what this game looks like, to 319 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: build it into a more of a global game as 320 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: baseball has tried, but they're kind of limited to Japan 321 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: and Korea doesn't really seem to work elsewhere, right, Basketball 322 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: wants to do it as well, like we're kind of 323 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: tapped out here and they're tapping into new markets. So 324 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: I think from a business standpoint, it's brilliant who it serves. 325 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: It does serve Mahomes, it does serve Herbert, because it does. 326 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 1: They are national names that slowly become international names. But 327 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: for the most part, Yeah, all these players at the 328 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: end of it, just like we tell them, like, hey, 329 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,439 Speaker 1: you don't like playing was it you like playing Thursday games? 330 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 2: Great? 331 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,679 Speaker 1: Give back that money that's made because Amazon wants to 332 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: buy Thursday night games. So everybody gets rich because of it. 333 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 2: So one other point to this, and I'm curious to 334 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 2: see what the NFL does, Like this game has been 335 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 2: played in Week one. I think because of the significant 336 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 2: travel and what it takes to hold the game in Brazil. 337 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 2: It feels like they have a better path with Europe 338 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 2: and that travel. So this was brought up this week 339 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 2: that the NFL will not be playing a Friday game 340 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 2: next season because of the Sports Broadcasting Act of nineteen 341 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 2: sixty one, saying that they can only hold Friday night 342 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 2: games if Labor Day is early enough on the calendar. 343 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 2: Next year, that will not be the case this year, 344 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 2: we had it the earliest that it can be with 345 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 2: Labor Day being September one, So these past two years, 346 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 2: the NFL has been able to get away with it. 347 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 2: It's also because of that travel, Doug. I think they 348 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 2: have a difficult time putting it into the schedule where 349 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 2: everything else is. So that's why they've allowed this extended 350 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 2: weekend for the Packers and Eagles. Last year, Remember the 351 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 2: Eagles played a Monday night game then against the Falcons 352 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: in Week two, so they had an extra day to 353 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: prepare for that. I'm curious to see what they do 354 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 2: next year with this game because they're not going to 355 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 2: have the ability to put it in Week one no 356 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 2: matter who ends up playing in that game. 357 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 7: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 358 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 7: the nation.

Jared, let's get after it with some 373 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: of these games. Oklahoma State Oregon. Let me get this straight. 374 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: Oregon has gobs and gobs of money. They've won lots 375 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: of football games, so we're supposed to believe. I watched 376 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,479 Speaker 1: Joel Klatt. He has some rant about, Oh, Mike Gundhy 377 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: poked the bear. They're supposed to be mad because Mike 378 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: Gunny's like, they got a lot of money and they're 379 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: really good. I helped me out the numbers. Twenty eight 380 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: and a half. 381 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 2: That's a big number. 382 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 5: It is massive number. I think the narrative only goes 383 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 5: so far right. And Mike Gundy's done a good job 384 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 5: over the years, you know, motivating his team in his way. 385 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 5: I don't think it translates too much to organ side. 386 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,879 Speaker 5: I just think Organ's a really good football team and 387 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 5: they kind of flew under the radar last week. They 388 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,880 Speaker 5: beat Montana State really hard, doubled them up in yards 389 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 5: per play, and that's a really good Montana State team. 390 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 5: Were undefeated in the FCS last year. We don't know 391 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 5: how good Dante more is just yet. He looked comfortable 392 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,639 Speaker 5: last week over seventy percent completion rate, almost ten yards 393 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,639 Speaker 5: per attempt. Again, Montana kind of played this soft zone 394 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 5: defense and he just kind of took what they gave him. 395 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 5: I was impressed watching More go through multiple aggressions. That's 396 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 5: always what I look for with a young quarterback starting 397 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 5: his first game. If you look to one side of 398 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 5: the field and your first read is not there, are 399 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,239 Speaker 5: you able to click back to the other side and 400 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 5: find an open receiver on the backside. 401 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 3: Of the Reid? 402 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 5: And he was able to do that pretty effectively. I 403 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 5: do think the Oregon defensive line is formidable. I love 404 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 5: this kid, Amari Washington space heed or three hundred and 405 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 5: twenty pounds. I think this is gonna make Oregon, not 406 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 5: only this week, but in general, a very difficult team 407 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 5: to run on. I think two different sides of Oregon 408 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 5: are going to be true this year, Doug. I think 409 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 5: at home they're very young football team. They played twenty 410 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 5: first year players last week, so they're very young again 411 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 5: in a experience football team. They're gonna be better in the 412 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 5: home environments. I think on the road, like when they 413 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,479 Speaker 5: go to Penn State in a couple of weeks, they 414 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 5: might be a little bit shaky. But this is an 415 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 5: Oklahoma State team. I didn't like what I saw on 416 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 5: the offensive line last week against UT Martin. They let 417 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 5: the Skyhawks generate a twenty nine percent stuff rate. That 418 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 5: means that the offensive line was a little bit Swiss cheesy. 419 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 5: And if that's the case against UT Martin, we'll see 420 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 5: what they do against Oregon. Also, backup quarterback. This week, 421 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 5: we saw the starter get injured. Zane Flores had to 422 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 5: come in to replace hass Henji. I butchered that name, 423 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 5: but that's how you pronounced him. He broke his foot 424 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 5: in the game. 425 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 7: So we'll see. 426 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 5: I think Flores will be a little bit flustered in 427 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 5: the road environment. I do think I would lean Oregon, 428 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 5: but you're right, big whopper of a number, and clearly 429 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 5: my Gundy's fired up for this one. 430 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: Let's go back to Oklahoma Norman. Oklahoma Sooners are a 431 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: four and a half point favorite totals forty four and 432 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: a half against Michigan. You want to talk about a 433 00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: highly touted freshman Michigan's starting quarterback is just that where 434 00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 1: people are starting to talk about Bryce Underwood and unbelievable things. 435 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: What do you like in that game? 436 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 5: People need to start talking about Bryce Underwood. Doug and 437 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 5: we talked a lot about archmanding over the summer, generational 438 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 5: talent bo blah blah blah. I think Bryce Underwood when 439 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 5: we look back on this college football summer, we will say, Wow, 440 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 5: we were giving a lot of love to Arch and 441 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,479 Speaker 5: we weren't kind of letting this Bryce Underwood get fly 442 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 5: under the radar. Incredible talent, elite throwing motion kind of 443 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 5: reminds me of CJ. Stroud, quick delivery, no wasted movement, 444 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 5: great mechanics, and he can rip the football. His only 445 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 5: weakness is an experience. I think that is something that 446 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 5: probably will factor into this game on the road against 447 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 5: a very tough SEC caliber defense. I know Oklahoma's offense, 448 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 5: We've talked a lot about that. I'll get to them 449 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 5: in a minute, but I do think the Oklahoma defense 450 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 5: is legit one of the best units in the SEC, 451 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 5: and we know Venables is a great defensive coach. The 452 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 5: fascinating match up here. I don't think Bryce Underwood's going 453 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 5: to have an overly huge amount of success this week. 454 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 5: I think they're gonna keep it really simple, and I think, 455 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 5: you know, the crowd and just the environment might play 456 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 5: a factor in some jitters. But really everyone's been talking 457 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 5: about John Mttier in this Oklahoma offense. I did not 458 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 5: like what I saw last week. Missed a lot of 459 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 5: Throw's arm side, including the interception. He's floating in the pocket. 460 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 5: He does look comfortable in the system, right, this is 461 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 5: second year in the system with our buckle, But I 462 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 5: think he's just a little bit off with his mechanics. 463 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 5: And what do we know about Michigan's defense, right, this 464 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 5: is year two of a Wink Martindale defense. They play 465 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 5: a lot of zone coverage. They're gonna drop back, and 466 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,479 Speaker 5: they are gonna make Oklahoma's offense really find those holes. 467 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 5: I think the front seven for Michigan can stop the 468 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 5: run without committing extra guys in the box, and they're 469 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 5: gonna make Matier go dink and dunk ten plays down 470 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 5: the field without making a mistake. But if your mechanics 471 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 5: are not good, I think eventually you're gonna make a mistake. 472 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 5: This smells like an undergame all the way. First half 473 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 5: under for sure, Michigan. If Underwood can kind of overcome 474 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 5: some of those jitters. I think the Wolverines are a 475 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 5: very live dog here, but I don't necessarily trust a 476 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 5: freshman quarterback making his first start. 477 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 4: On the road. 478 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 5: So I think under the total is the best play here. 479 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 5: I'm seeing forty four in the market, but the first 480 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 5: half under, I think is really a good bet. 481 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 1: Okay, let's go to a couple other big games of 482 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: the weekend. The Syhawk is ioa. Sam can't contain himself. 483 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: He's just so exciting, right, just so excited. This one's 484 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 1: in Ames, it's on Fox. He got big noon. Is 485 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: there the line as of right now? Where's my line? 486 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: Where's where'd that go? Okay, it's kind of flowing around 487 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: three three? I got three and a half, three and 488 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: a half, forty three and a half is the is 489 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 1: the number? What do you think? 490 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 5: Yeah? I think under has been the vibe in this 491 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 5: series now to be fair, So fifteen and four, that's 492 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 5: what the under is is since two thousand and five 493 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 5: in this series, but the last three years, again the 494 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 5: totals have been comically low, right around thirty seven. Now 495 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 5: we're seeing in the you know, low forties, so you're 496 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 5: getting a little bit of an upgrade. I think Iowa 497 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 5: States look good in their first two games, not great. 498 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 5: The Kansas State game was fluky. They got out gained, 499 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 5: they had the weird turnover. Kansas State's best running back 500 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 5: got hurt on the putt return, you know, on the muff, 501 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 5: So I don't want to over react to that result. 502 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 5: And Kamari Molten for Iowa, their best running backs out, 503 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 5: so you got the backup throw Washington. Including the fifteen 504 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 5: carries last week against all Benny, this kid has thirty 505 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 5: six career carries. So I'm a little concerned about the 506 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 5: Iowa run game, and we know that's their bread and butter. 507 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 5: Mark Gronowski, you want to talk about jitters. I know 508 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 5: arch Maning looked a little jittery last week. Mark Gronowski 509 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 5: eight for fifteen, thirty six yards. This is a kid 510 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 5: that's had a ton of success at the FCS level. 511 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 5: He admitted after the game he was a little nervous. 512 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 5: That's that line looked more. 513 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 4: That was more. 514 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 5: That was really nerves. We'll see if he can settle 515 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 5: in a little bit, because we have seen again you're 516 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 5: kind of bouncing around the number right now. It was three, 517 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 5: then three and a half, an hour back to three. 518 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 5: So I saw a little bit of love for Iowa 519 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 5: State early. Typically when a line is three and a half, 520 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 5: you look to the favorite. Line is two and a half, 521 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 5: you look to the dog. So again, right around that 522 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 5: number of three, I don't think there's much value in 523 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 5: the side, Doug. I would say under again, fifteen and 524 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 5: four games have gone you know, fifty nine to nineteen 525 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 5: have gone under since oh five, So I think that 526 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 5: there's gonna be a low scoring game. Both teams are 527 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 5: gonna run it, and these games typically are played pretty 528 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:16,960 Speaker 5: close to the best. 529 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 1: Baptists versus the Methodists in Highland Park in Texas, Baylor 530 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: taking on SMU. I thought Baylor got pushed around by 531 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: Auburn last week, but now they go down and take 532 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: on SMU. Different club. SMU, of course, off of their 533 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: ACC Championship regular season championship, two and a half point 534 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: favorites and the totals much higher. At sixty three and 535 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: a half. 536 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a little worried about SMU. Jordan Hudson, their 537 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 5: top receiver looks like he's gonna be out tomorrow. That's 538 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 5: a huge loss. Again, this is an SMU team that 539 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 5: lost a ton of starters. I know Kevin Jennings is 540 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 5: back and he's fantastic, but they lost nine starters on defense, 541 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 5: their top running back on offense, multiple starting receivers, and 542 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 5: now their best receiver who's still around, Jordan Hudson's not 543 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 5: gonna play. I thought Baylor like it was a definitely 544 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 5: got pushed around. The running game, especially the quarterback. Run 545 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 5: game was very effective. But here's the rub Auburn, and 546 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 5: we talked about it last week. An elite trio of 547 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 5: wide receivers and Dave Randa backed off the line of 548 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 5: scrimmage because he didn't want to get burned. So what happens, Well, 549 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 5: now you're vulnerable in the run game. Despite that, Baylor 550 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 5: actually out gained Auburn yards per play six point eight 551 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 5: to five point eight, and they didn't commit a turnover. 552 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 5: If you told me Baylor was gonna be plus one 553 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,880 Speaker 5: net yards per play and not commit a turnover, I'd say, 554 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 5: they're pretty live to win that game, but they lost 555 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,959 Speaker 5: by two scores kickoff turn for a touchdown, they struggled 556 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 5: in the red zone. I think the market probably overreacted 557 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 5: a little bit to that Auburn win because I do 558 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 5: think Baylor was live in the game and they just 559 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 5: didn't have things go their way, especially in the red zone. 560 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 5: And again with SMU coming off of what I think 561 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 5: was an average performance last week and now they're losing. 562 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 4: Their best receiver. I feel like Dave. 563 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 5: Randa, I saw a three in the market with Baylor 564 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 5: catching three points. If you can find Baylor plus three, 565 00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 5: and I just bet it, like thirty minutes ago before 566 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 5: I opped on air. I think that's a fantastic bet. 567 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 5: But SMU's got that moxie and they've got their quarterback, 568 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 5: so this is gonna be a fun game. I think 569 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 5: it's like the iron skillet or some kind of weird, 570 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 5: you know, frying pan that they give out at the 571 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 5: end of this game. So it's gonna have some juice 572 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 5: to it. But I think at three I would take Baylor. 573 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: Okay, last one here, Doug Gottlieb shout Fox Sports Radio, Oh, 574 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: what do you think of Illinois? And Duke Duke's a 575 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: two and a half point dog at home to Illinois. 576 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, how about many This is a many DZ special 577 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 5: right here? 578 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 2: Dog? 579 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 5: How about this line, Manny Diaz nine and oh against 580 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 5: the spread as an underdog of seven points or less 581 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 5: at Duke, that's pretty impressive. 582 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 7: Four and oh. 583 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 5: Last year he had outright wins over VOTEC NC State, 584 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 5: UNC Northwestern as a dog of between one and a 585 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 5: half and three and a half. And that's what the 586 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 5: line is here in this game. This is kind of 587 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 5: a fishy line, right. You see a top fifteen ranking 588 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 5: next to Illinois and you can bet him minus two 589 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 5: and a half at Duke. Duke's a basketball school, right, 590 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,959 Speaker 5: But this is why you pay Darian Men's a ten 591 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 5: million over two years for this type of game. I 592 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 5: think the Duke defense is good enough to keep Luke 593 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 5: Altmeyern check last year. This is a defense that excelled 594 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 5: against the run less than four yards per carry allowed 595 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 5: on the ground. We know Illinois is a run first team. 596 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 5: Brett Bielima loves to play bully ball. They did it 597 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 5: last week thirty four rushes to twenty five passes. I 598 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 5: know it was Western Illinois but this is a very 599 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 5: good and talented Illinois backfield. That is what they're going 600 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 5: to try to establish. First. Altmeyer also loves to scramble. 601 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 5: I like this Duke offense a little bit. Jarquez Moore's 602 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 5: back at running back. You've got Cooper Barkate. How about 603 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 5: this the Harvard transfer. Of course, Duke gets a kid 604 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 5: from Harvard flashed at receiver. So you got a receiver 605 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 5: and a running back that can move a little bit. 606 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 5: I like the quarterback mensa. I don't think the Alyni 607 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 5: defense has been tested yet. Here's the matchup to watch. 608 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 5: This Duke secondary is much better than you think preseason 609 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 5: All American Chandler Rivers. He's one corner Kamari Robinson in 610 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 5: his third years on the other side, and Illinois has 611 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 5: this rising star at receiver Hank Betty at a fantastic 612 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 5: double move Touchdow last week five for a bucko eighty 613 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 5: flash in the bowl game against South Carolina as well. 614 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 5: This is the matchup within the matchup. We know Duke 615 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 5: can stop the run, but can Illinois threatened vertical and 616 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 5: back that Duke defense off the line of scrimmage a 617 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 5: little bit. I kind of think the corners on an 618 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 5: island are gonna win here, and I think Duke pulls 619 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 5: this upset off. I am not high on Illinois this year. 620 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 5: I was not buying the hype. I don't think the 621 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 5: market is giving them any respect in this matchup either. 622 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 5: So I will take the two and a half points 623 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 5: and I'll give you one better. I'll say money line. 624 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 5: Duke on a big upset, not a big upset, an 625 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 5: upset on Saturday down there on Tobacco Road. 626 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: Wow, there you go. We ended off with a big one, 627 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: end off with a big one with Duke. I love 628 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 1: Duke pulling off the upsot.

I'm gonna pick 668 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 4: both the dogs here for my Jay's Jay's two team parlay. 669 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 4: I think Northern Illinois take the sixteen and a half 670 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 4: at the at Maryland Terps and then take James Madison 671 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 4: with fourteen and a half a Louisville and just a 672 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 4: quick memo to Louisville fans, Yeah, Carrie Rhodes is not 673 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,200 Speaker 4: walking through the door. He's hosting his show with Dan 674 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 4: Byron Sunday. He's not gonna be walking through that door. 675 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 4: James Madison to Northern Illinois and thank me on Monday. 676 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: Uh damn byer Larry walking through that Uh It's great 677 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 1: to hear it again. 678 00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. Throughout the week I really like 679 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 2: the Giants against the Commanders, and Doug we got some 680 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,200 Speaker 2: bad news today if you're on the side of the Giants, 681 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,919 Speaker 2: Andrew Thomas, their left tackle is considered doubtful to play. 682 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 2: Malik Nighbors expected to go for the Giants, but that's 683 00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 2: a pretty big blow. He's really good tackle and the 684 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,960 Speaker 2: Giants on their offensive line, he's by far the strongest 685 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 2: piece they have, and I thought that they could do 686 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 2: really well without Washington, without Washington generating a great pass rush. 687 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 2: So while I was about to make the Giants to 688 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 2: win the game, we're not gonna go as far. We're 689 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 2: gonna just say the Giants cover plus six and a 690 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 2: half right now against Washington. And Giants, though cover that number, 691 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 2: played some tight affairs with the Commanders last year, I 692 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 2: expect more of the same in Week one. 693 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:10,919 Speaker 4: No wind run. 694 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: I'm going with a little parlay lil two team parlay 695 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: of the NFL. Tonight, I need Bolts take on the 696 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, and right now it's at three. It 697 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: was three and a half. I really liked the Bolts, 698 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: but like the Bolts a kicker obviously don't like the 699 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 1: adjustments to the offensive line with Slater going down, but 700 00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 1: they'll be okay. I think the Chargers win straight up. 701 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: Now double it up with Pittsburgh going into the Jets, 702 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 1: right teams essentially swap quarterbacks from last year. Does anybody 703 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,280 Speaker 1: think Justin Fields is a better quarterback than Aaron Rodgers? 704 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 3: Now? 705 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 1: I think Cam Herward plays. He was complaining today about 706 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 1: being able to feed his kids with his one hundred 707 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,880 Speaker 1: and fifty four million dollars he's made in his NFL career. 708 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,640 Speaker 1: But I got Pittsburgh and the Chargers put me in 709 00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: the bucks. 710 00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 2: You're welcome. 711 00:35:59,080 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 1: Let's go to you there. 712 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 6: I was saym take it for what it's worth here 713 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 6: with the Sye Hawk game, coming from someone who attended 714 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 6: the University of Iowa. But listen, a couple of things 715 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 6: that Jared Smith did not mention. The road team is one, 716 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,439 Speaker 6: I believe that the last five this is a name. 717 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 6: So I'm taking the Hawkeyes to cover that three and 718 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 6: a half and win this game outright. Another thing that 719 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 6: Jared did not mention is that Iowa's running attack, despite 720 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,439 Speaker 6: missing Kamari Moulton, put up over three hundred yards rushing. 721 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,280 Speaker 6: They have one of the better offensive lines in the country, 722 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 6: So I will be taking the Hawkeyes to win that 723 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 6: game outright as a three year three and a half point. 724 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,359 Speaker 1: Doll okay, so James Madison and who ja. 725 00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,680 Speaker 4: Stu Northern Illinois. 726 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,280 Speaker 1: The Huskies soon to be a basketball and non football 727 00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: member of the Horizon League. And then byer you got who. 728 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 2: I got the Giants, and I got the Chargers and 729 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 2: the Steelers. 730 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, there we go.
