1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up,

2
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: straight Fire Fan, it's your board Jason McIntyre Straight Fire

3
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: for Thursday, January twelve. It's a great day obviously for

4
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: many reasons, not just because this is a great podcast.

5
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: Today we have a brand new guest, Gambler Sean Bracy's

6
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: got a new pod here on the I Heart Network

7
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: radio show in Philly. So we break down some of

8
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: the weekend's games. We talk Eagles. I think you'll enjoy it,

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: a couple of prop bets. I'm looking at Lane this weekend.

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: It's all deadly. But obviously January twelve is a great day,

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: not to be one to to my own horn. It

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: happens to be my birthday, so obviously this is one

13
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: of those days. It's weird when you get into your twenties.

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: You know, with your birthday you're drinking out with the buddies.

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: Then you get the girlfriend, you kind of settle down,

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: it's not as exciting, and then you have this like

17
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: resurgence when the kids come around because they are all excited,

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: giving you like just great, great moments with the kids,

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: and even if the presents aren't great, like who cares?

20
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: I just had Christmas. You know, I got a bunch

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: of presents, and then you go on social media and like,

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: you know, even though Facebook you barely talk to some

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: of these people, they're still giving you the shout outs.

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: It just kind of is a good day. I would

25
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: say at least three of my last like five birthdays,

26
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I've been like, damn,

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: I wish my birthday could last another day, because it's

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: just fun. You know. At any rate, you guys don't

29
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: care about that. But what you may care about is

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: big NFL news heading into wild Card weekend to Lamar

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: Jackson officially a no go. It's getting to be panic

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: time for the Baltimore Ravens. Here's the bigger problem Huntley

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: and even throwing the ball at practice, he's got a

34
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: shoulder issue. It maybe the Anthony Brown show, although I'm

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: still gonna bet that Huntley gives it a shot. You

36
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: just shoot him up. What does it toward her all?

37
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: Give him shoot him up right before the game and

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: let him just play through the pain. Anthony Brown was

39
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: plucky in the second half of the Bengals were showing

40
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: nothing because they knew they'd be playing the Ravens again.

41
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: So the Bengals kind of rolled over and Baltimore kind

42
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: of climb back in it, but the Bengals still covered.

43
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: Unless you were like getting the late number when it

44
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: was like way I think it was like eleven and

45
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: a half or something insane. Then you lost. But that

46
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: was bad gambling on your part. Um. But it's not

47
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: just Lamar out. It's to A has officially been ruled out.

48
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: And the worst part about two of being out is

49
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: it Teddy Bridgewater's broken figure means he's the backup. And

50
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: now we got Skyler Thompson, ladies and gentlemen, the Skyler

51
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: Thompson Show in Buffalo, and um, I'll be giving you

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: some extra numbers on the trends of rookie quarterbacks starting

53
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: later in the pod. And oh, by the way, double

54
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: digit favorites in the wild card round. This is setting

55
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: up to be a pretty bad game. I'm not gonna lie, like.

56
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: I know some people are kind of crapping on the

57
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: weekend NFL schedule, and you know, we kind of have

58
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: a busy jewel here in the fam. My son has

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: a volleyball tournament. I gotta coach with my daughter's basketball team,

60
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: and then I gotta coach my son's basketball team. So

61
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: truth be told, I'm gonna be watching a lot on

62
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: my phone these games. And yes, I will be able

63
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: to watch during the games, UM get updates. Obviously if

64
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: they're blowouts, I'll be able to watch and pay attention.

65
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: But I'm not expecting blowouts. Especially my son's game will

66
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: be very tough. UM. But like Seahawks Niners, Yeah, that

67
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: that's a must watch. Saturday Jags Chargers, I think I

68
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: think might be the best quarterback matchup of the weekend

69
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: unless you think it's Dak Brady. Dak Brady or Trevor

70
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: Lawrence Justin Herbert, both of them in their playoff debut.

71
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: But like I mean, Ravens Bengals is not must watch

72
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: as I look at the line right now, eight and

73
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: a half for Cincinnati here early on Thursday morning. Uh,

74
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, I'm not excited to see that guy. And

75
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: then Skyler Thompson. Luckily Skyler Thompson is not playing at night,

76
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: or he would get the treatment that Mac Jones got

77
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Last year when I think it was forty seven. The

78
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: Bills did not seventeen whatever it was, but the Bill's

79
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: bottom line did not punt the entire game up and

80
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: down the field. I think they basically pitched a perfect

81
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: game where it was like no turnovers, scored on every drive.

82
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: Just impressive stuff. Last year in the playoffs, I expect that.

83
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: But it's a day game, and I I honestly would

84
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: not be surprised if this, if this were such a blowout,

85
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: not TCU Georgia type blowout. But like Josh Allen and

86
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: the starters are sitting in the fourth because this a

87
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: banged up Dolphin, Steve Bradley chub is he healthy? Is

88
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill healthy? What's the situation or with Armstead at

89
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 1: left tackle. It's just a lot of bad things happening

90
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: when the Dolphins right now, it just doesn't feel good.

91
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: Probably closes around touchdown. So that's the latest um on

92
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: NFL Wild Card weekend. Obviously, you know we'll have much

93
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: more tomorrow on the games. Um, I'm sorry, I'm not

94
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: digging into the NBA right now. My poor Atlanta Hawks.

95
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know how to salvage you guys.

96
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Something's gotta you never want to fire the coach, but

97
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: it seems like Dave quit playing for this guy. Trey

98
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: Young seems to re leading some sort of insurgents since

99
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: that whole incident. We're basically Trey Young was told to

100
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: stay home because he didn't want to go to shoot

101
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,559
Speaker 1: around on It's just ugly. So that's all that's happening

102
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: with the Hawks. Celtics just keep winning, Pelicans starting to

103
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: swoon a little bit. But there is a good NBA

104
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: game tonight, Lakers MAVs. I just might be in the building. Anyways.

105
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 1: Without further ado, let's get to our guest, Sean Brace.

134
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: Thanks man. Yeah. Well, and obviously we do a lot

135
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: of gambling on this show because it's where we are now.

136
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: Like what ten years ago was fantasy and now I

137
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: feel like gambling has has surpassed that. And obviously you

138
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: do a pod talking gambling, and we could start with

139
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: the Eagles, who I don't know, man, I was feeling

140
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: great about your your Eagles there for a while and

141
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: then the Hurts injury, and I think, more importantly the

142
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: Lamee Johnson situation. Uh Avante Maddox, what's your read on

143
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles. They have a bye week now, but some

144
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: teams kind of backing into the playoffs. Cowboys didn't look

145
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: great down the stretch. Um Vikings not particularly sharp. We

146
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: know the Dolphins have a backup quarterback Ravens quarterback issues,

147
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Philly's like the number one seed,

148
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: but they just they haven't looked great. Um here at

149
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: the end of the season. I'm I'm happy you pointed

150
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: out of Madox though, you know your stuff right there,

151
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: because that is a huge deal. He was playing a

152
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: great spot for for the defense and and really came

153
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: on strong this season, proved his worth and dealt with

154
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of a Nagon injury, came back and

155
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: then got her on Christmas Eve. And you know, look,

156
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: they got c J. G J back, which is a

157
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: big deal. But Lane Johnson, to your point, that's it,

158
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: you know here, I continue to hear the talking point

159
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: about the Eagles is it's not the same Eagles from October. Uh.

160
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: And and I understand that because when you do look

161
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: at what Jane Hurt has gone through as far as

162
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: the injury is concerned to that shoulder, but more specifically,

163
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: as you just point out with Lane Johnson, that's a

164
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: big deal. Their strength was absolutely the offensive line. Now

165
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: I do believe that they do still have some horses

166
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: in the stable, but Lane Johnson wanted the best of

167
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: his position, top five pick from Chip Kelly all those

168
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: years ago and still here. Yeah, tells you everything you

169
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: need to know about that one. But uh, you know, honestly,

170
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: I do feel like the way that it's going to

171
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: play out. And and forgive me if people want to

172
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: disagree with me on this one, but the NFC, I

173
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: think it's a two dog race and it's the forty

174
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: Niners and it's the Eagles. And I get it. If

175
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: you want to tell me that the Giants coming back

176
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: here or Minnesota coming back or Dallas, it's gonna be

177
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: a tough game, I'm still going to take the Eagles

178
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: at home. Uh. You know, this team defensively, I don't

179
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: think got enough credit, even though they did set the

180
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: marks for most sacks in the season. Uh, to get

181
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: after the quarterback, but it's all based off the success

182
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: on the offense because they could just go ahead and

183
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: let their hair loosen get after that quarterbacks. So I

184
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: really do like if Jalen Hurts comes back and that

185
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: shoulder is not bothering him at all. He said it

186
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: was sore, this week is gonna be a huge deal.

187
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: I know it's kind of cliche, but it's the truth.

188
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: Give him that week off, he's gonna rest up. I

189
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: fully expect him to be for that division around whoever

190
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: it is. I like the Birds at home NFC Championship game,

191
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: much different story. We'll talk about it when we get there.

192
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: But this Eagles team, they're gonna hit the round ground

193
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: running next week. It's interesting, duh. I think the number

194
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: on Lane Johnson is there four and eleven without him. Um,

195
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: based on whatever you're hearing reading seeing in Philly, do

196
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: they anticipate him back next week? Yeah? Surprisingly, I heard

197
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: they were. We have a guy on our Eagles Insider

198
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: victory which does amazing work, and he was reporting on

199
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: it on Monday saying the expectations as he is going

200
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: to give it a go. But you know what does

201
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: that mean? All right? If he steps out there, we're

202
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: talking about abdominal injury, the core. He's gonna have to

203
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: you know, of course, you can't go play offensive line

204
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: or play any position the NFL and get by with

205
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: an injury that's nagging. So I expect him to try

206
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: and give it a go. They're gonna work through, of course,

207
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: during practice over the next two weeks, but when it

208
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: comes to game time in a divisional round, we'll see

209
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: what happens there. But as I said, I still feel

210
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: confident about the horses that they have in a stable,

211
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: good back up, great coach with Jeff Stoutland, and they've

212
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: proved their worth as far as drafting his concerns. So

213
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna step in and fill that role like Lane

214
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: Johnson could on a game day. But I do still

215
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: think that that's gonna be a plus when it comes

216
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: down to it, the offensive line. So it let's say

217
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: the Giants upset the Vikings, which is possible. I think

218
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: it's two and a half or three. UM. The Giants

219
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: would then go to fill it out Sea right, the

220
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: lowest seed goes to Philly. UM. I'm wondering, did did

221
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: the Eagles offense possibly look bad and we gay team

222
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: because they didn't want to show anything assuming they'd faced

223
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: the Giants next. It definitely felt like there was some

224
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: sleep walking at times. I believe that Jalen Hurts wasn't

225
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: as crisp either. Definitely. Um, it's interesting that you put

226
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: it out like that. I don't know if they were

227
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: holding off as far as plays are concerned, but when

228
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: it came down to it, and and they don't play

229
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: necessarily well in the meadow lands at Medlife or even

230
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: when Giants stayed, they just don't haven't really played up

231
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: to their potential. I had Brandon Graham on the show

232
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: and he even said he's like, man, we needed that

233
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: such in a bad way because they absolutely blew the

234
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: doors off them. And if you were going to get

235
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: a home game division around do or die against the

236
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: Giants or the Cowboys again, Tom Brady is a different story.

237
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: But if it's against the Giants, good luck, man, good

238
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: luck coming in here. I like the Birds the role

239
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: in that one. Yeah, I did. I I will say

240
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: to move on from Philly. I did take a nibble,

241
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: just a nibble, of the Bucks to win the NFC,

242
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: because I would agree with you it's a two horse race.

243
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: That being said, the Eagles injuries plus the brock Purty factor.

244
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: If you're looking for a third team to sneak in,

245
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: I don't Giants. Come on, Daniel Jones limited Seattle has

246
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 1: I don't think they have any shot this weekend. And

247
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: then you're talking about Dallas and Dac and McCarthy and

248
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: the Vikings, and I just I wonder if Brady can

249
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: pull off some magic. He does have a night game here,

250
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: um on Monday night foot you guys are talking about

251
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: that today. Yeah, I was gonna ask, like, listen, I

252
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 1: don't have the A, T. S numbers in front of me,

253
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: but I think at one point it was like two

254
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: and eleven in his last thirteen night games. And a

255
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: lot of people will scoff and be like, oh, that's nothing,

256
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: And then you're like, well, you know, we're talking about

257
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: one of the most dedicated, regimented um weirdos in Tom Brady,

258
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: who loves to talk about his work ethic and going

259
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: to bed early, waking up late. I'm sorry sorry, going

260
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: to bed early, waking up early, and then working out

261
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: all day, and then all of a sudden he struggles

262
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: in these night games. And I don't know if anything

263
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: to that or nothing. Well, the one thing I would

264
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: stay as far as the futures are concerned with Tampa Bay,

265
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: I totally understand it, totally get it, and and don't

266
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: mind it whatsoever, because you're talking about a team. When

267
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: the season started, they were only behind the Buffalo Bills.

268
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, for future odds now up to

269
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: as high as twenty one. I know DraftKings had him

270
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: at that mark earlier today. So if you're out there

271
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: and you want to believe and and throw a little something,

272
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: there are worst bets to be made on Tom Brady

273
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, right, So I'm right there with you

274
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: on that one. When it comes down to whether or

275
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: not the old man is getting fried out in the

276
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: in the midnight hour. Hey, it happens to all of us.

277
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: It's happening to me. I'm forty one. So but you know, look,

278
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: when it comes down to it as far as Tom

279
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: Brady this week, I'm wondering where you're at. I I

280
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: think they're the trendiest dog with the with the Tampa

281
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: Bay Bucks of course at home. Uh you know you

282
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: got them in the Giants. But I would probably lean

283
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: towards the Tampa Bay Bucks being the trendiest dog. I'm

284
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: going the other way. I'm flipping the coin here and

285
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna back Dallas's run game and the defense getting

286
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: after Brady a little bit more and and finding a

287
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: way to finally defeat him and handing him at his

288
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: first loss when he goes up again Scowboys, I was

289
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: leaning that way. I need to it. Coming off three

290
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: is interesting to me because you know, it takes a

291
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: lot of money for the line to move from three

292
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: to two and a half. Three the most significant number.

293
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: And I just wonder Sean, like, what are these big

294
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: money gamblers seeing or are they dummying it down to

295
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: come in heavy or later on Dallas. I can't see that. Um.

296
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: I keep hearing that the Bucks are as healthy as

297
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: they were in week one, and I'm like, how is

298
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: that possible? I there's no way that's possible. Right. The

299
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: offensive lines decimated, their best ed rusher, Shack Barrett's gone.

300
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: I gotta check the secondary, but their defensive line has

301
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: been garbage for weeks. Yeah, no, you're right about that.

302
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: And I think more along the line of the connection

303
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: with with uh Evans on the outside against the Panthers,

304
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: kind of woke people up a little bit. But even

305
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: though like the Carolina Panthers really like that's what we're

306
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: putting a lot of stock into. It was a great

307
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: comeback victory. And he's had a couple of them against

308
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: the Saints and against the Cardinals, and it's like, let's

309
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: talk about the teams that he's going up against first.

310
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: But look, you know it's at home. It's against the

311
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys who haven't been playing all that well either. Dak Prescott,

312
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: what is he seeing right now? Interceptions in the last

313
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: seven games. Yeah, it's like, it's not good right now

314
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. But I'm gonna take the Cowboys here.

315
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna flip the coin and say, you know what,

316
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be somewhat of a contrarian again because they

317
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: are favorite. But I like Dallas in that game, so

318
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: I I try listen. I'm not a big trend guy

319
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to some of these wild card weekends,

320
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: but dude, I got sent to me. Let's see what

321
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: it is here. An incredible number about double digit favorites

322
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: wild card weekend since two thousand three, double digit favorites

323
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: in the playoffs thirteen and eight against the spread seven

324
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: and one in the wild card round, so basic. The

325
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: cream of the crop blows out the pretenders. And I

326
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: just wonder we're talking wild card round. Remember it used

327
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: to be two teams gotta buy. Now there's just one,

328
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: So you're talking about a lot of wild Card round

329
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: like three and four seeds just blasting inferior teams. I

330
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: look at the big double digit favorites this weekend, I'm like,

331
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: I think I gotta lay it with Buffalo and I

332
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: San Francz. Not double digits anymore. But I have no

333
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: problem at ten. I mean, I sure as hell don't

334
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: have a problem a nine and a half. Yeah. Look,

335
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, looking at some of the wild card numbers

336
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: from the previous few years, I know that there was

337
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: a good four year stretch that I think I dug

338
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: up that the dogs were to play throughout the course

339
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: of those years. But in last year, if you just

340
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: go look at it, we had blowout sixteen twenty one

341
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: margins of victory set. Like an idiot, I knew that

342
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: was done second quarter. I was like, Okay, yeah up.

343
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: But Buffalo fort victory over New England last week, So

344
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: I'm with you, J I'm having a hard time really

345
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: going against the grain here. I feel like it's gonna

346
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: be a chalky weekend. Of course, these numbers, that's the

347
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: question now, it's you gotta ask yourself, like is there

348
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: a number that's gonna be too high for a team

349
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: like the Miami Dolphins, Like if we get up to fifteen,

350
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: is that going to be the number that pushes you

351
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: the other way? For me specifically, it would be it

352
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: would be a stay away game at that point in time.

353
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: But I just feel like, I feel like the number

354
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: one factor and that one, DeMar Hamlin is going to

355
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: be in the building, right and we already saw magic

356
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: with Hines returning that touchdown, So I think that there's

357
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 1: gonna be not a dry eye in that building. Tomar

358
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: Hamlin somewhere in a box. That place is gonna be

359
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: on fire. They're playing at one o'clock because I don't

360
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: think you could play that game at night and not

361
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: expect that city to be on fire. So I think

362
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: that purposely put. So I'm looking at that from the

363
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: double digit standpoint, and then um over to the other

364
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: games that are kind of with the big numbers with

365
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: since Umball Baltimore, now that we're seeing with that one. Yeah,

366
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: I saw that was off the board a little bit,

367
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: and I guess I guess they're no. I mean, it

368
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: looks like it's back on at seven and a half.

369
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: There's just no word if it's gonna be Huntley or

370
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown. Um. I was looking at playing the Ravens

371
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: in this one. Um, you know they just played him

372
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: last week. I mean they were getting destroyed early, which

373
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: I understand, but they showed some fighting, some metal um

374
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: Ravens defense. I think he'd keep them in it. They

375
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: didn't play Dobbins or Andrews. You get one or two pops.

376
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that could be like a three

377
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: or four point game. I mean, I think a Bengals

378
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: that's the only dog. I think. I really like this

379
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: weekend the Ravens. But if it's Anthony Brown, come on, man,

380
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: after tax dollars on Anthony Brown? Are you kidding me?

381
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: Like that? That's the problem I'm having with all this.

382
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: It's like I can't put harder money on Scotter Thompson

383
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: Healthony Brown. I had to ask him, like, where what

384
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: am I missing here? Who is this guy? Like? What

385
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: is going on right now? I thought it was just

386
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: a week eight team deal. But no, not the case.

387
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: It's very unfortunate because we all want to see Lamar

388
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: out there. But you know, Jay, when these numbers came out,

389
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: and I'm not a guy that will look I think

390
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: we should all be. If we're gonna put hardner money

391
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: on it, as soon as these numbers come out, you're

392
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: on it. But that's just not how I operate. I

393
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 1: got a million one things going on. I wish I

394
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: was more strategic and dialed in, but you know, getting

395
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: new early numbers, so and so forth. But this week

396
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: I did because I just said, you know what, I

397
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: didn't believe Lamar was playing, and even if he did,

398
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: that's five straight games and now he's gonna come out there,

399
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 1: the rust would be there. And on the flip side

400
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: with two, I never believed he was gonna play. So

401
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: I got early on those numbers. I like, yeah, I

402
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: got Miami at nine and I got the Bengals at six,

403
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting all right on that one. But still

404
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't mind with with the Ravens because at the

405
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: end of the day, these two teams division opponents, they

406
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: already split this year. Harbaugh pretty darn good coach and

407
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: as you pointed out that defense, They're gonna get after it.

412
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: about a trendy dog earlier with Tampa. I think the

413
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: Giants who Last week when I was anticipating this game,

414
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 1: I was like, I think I like the Giants, and

415
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: then I you look around, you go on social media,

416
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: everybody's taking the Giants and I'll just throw one number

417
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: at you again. Sorry hashtag trends, which people like the

418
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: scoff at. But since two thousand two, quarterbacks making their

419
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: first NFL playoffs start seventeen thirty seven and one against

420
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,479
Speaker 1: the spread eighteen and thirty seven straight up. I mean

421
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: you could go down the list, Josh Allen, all these

422
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: guys struggle in their first game. You know. Now it

423
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: doesn't apply when there's two first time starters like Geno

424
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: Smith first party, that's a little different. But Kirk Cousins

425
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: has been in the playoffs before, and Daniel Jones, I

426
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: know he has a great coach and dable, but are

427
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: you getting behind the Giants at three. Yeah, I think

428
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: it's important to point out that this is Dable's first

429
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: taste as a head coach, you know, and and and

430
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: I think he's been fantastic. I still would give the

431
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: vote to Syrianni for Coach of the Year. Go figure

432
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: out that one. But yeah, exactly, But what I would

433
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: say is that, you know, Daniel Jones for me, you

434
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get now. They did throw the

435
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: ball a ton in that previous matchup, in the in

436
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: the game that they played what in December fiftieth, I

437
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: think it was, uh, they did throw the ball and

438
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: especially the sa Quan out of the back for the

439
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: intent targets out of the backfield. So I don't think

440
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: there's a there's nothing that's going to be different from

441
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: the Giants perspective. You know, they're gonna try and run

442
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: the football down their throats. They're gonna have success against

443
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: that Vikings defense. I fully expect that game to be

444
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: the blueprint on exactly what we see this weekend. Like,

445
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked if it's another three point victory.

446
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: I think in that previous matchup it was a four

447
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 1: and a half point spread. Giants lost but covered I

448
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: think it's exactly how it's gonna play out here again

449
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: this weekend. But I do believe that Minnesota is gonna advance.

450
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: I like the Vikings. As you pointed out, a lot

451
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: of people around the Giants right now, I'm gonna ride

452
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins in this spot. Lot of doubters out there.

453
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 1: He's lost some big games. I get it, but at

454
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: the end of the day, they've won thirteen times. That's

455
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: tough to do in the NFL. They lost the Dallas,

456
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: they got blown out Giants, or to uh to the

457
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: Eagles as well on the road. We know about prime

458
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: time all that, but can he win one game at home?

459
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: Am I asking for that much? Yeah? This is what

460
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: an afternoon game, it's indoors, doesn't really matter yet, so uh,

461
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: I think I'm with you, and I know if people

462
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: are listening, they're just like man, they like all the chalk.

463
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. Can you make a case for the Jags? Um.

464
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: I saw Mike Williams didn't We're recording is Wednesday. I

465
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: saw Mike Williams did not practice again today. Obviously not ideal,

466
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: but the line is pincked around and started a Chargers

467
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: too early in the week, then it went to pick

468
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: him and now it's back at Chargers. I do wonder

469
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: is this an edge Sean? Jags played last Saturday night, remember,

470
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: and now they play again on Saturday. Chargers played on Sunday,

471
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: then have to get on a bird fly across the

472
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: country to play again on a Saturday. Um, it's my

473
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: new show. But if you look for any edge at all,

474
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: is that something nothing? Maybe something definitely something? You know,

475
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: and especially for Doug Peterson who last week was making

476
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: the case that it was unfair that the Titans played

477
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: that that previous Thursday and then the Jags had to

478
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: play I think on that Sunday or Saturday or whatever

479
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: it was. So you know, he was making the case

480
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: of like, hey, they had extra time, so you know, look,

481
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: now it's working in his favor. But this is another

482
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: interesting game. Of course, they're all interesting. We did. There's

483
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 1: a million one storylines on every one of these games.

484
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 1: Of course, with those quarterbacks going head to head getting

485
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 1: their first taste to post season action, Doug Peterson has

486
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: been there before. You got a new head coach over

487
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: there getting his first taste to post season action with

488
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Um and Staley. So for me, look, you

489
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: want to make the case, I am leaning towards the

490
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: favorite here. It is interesting that that number did come

491
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: down towards to the Push. I've always been in love

492
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: with the Chargers, so I'm probably biting his book line

493
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: and Sinker the one thing that is speaking to me

494
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: about this game. Though. Immediately those numbers came out, I

495
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: saw forty eight on the total, and I said, Wow,

496
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: that's really high. But I'm thinking that it's so high

497
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: for a reason, so I wouldn't have mind. I think

498
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: we would all like to see some fireworks on Saturday night.

499
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 1: I think that would be awesome for all of us

500
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 1: to go to bed and wake up for Sunday morning's

501
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,959
Speaker 1: rest action coming our way. But I think Saturday night

502
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a high scoring game Chargers. If they

503
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: have Mike Williams ready to go, that's a big difference maker,

504
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: because look, they lost a lot of games without Keenan Allen,

505
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: Mike Williams dealing with those ton of injuries that they've

506
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: they've had all season long. But if you get those

507
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: receivers in there, Herbert's that more effective. I think it's

508
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: gonna be tough for that Jacksonville Jack's offense to keep

509
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: up if they have all their horses ready to go

510
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: with the Chargers? Do you uh do if you don't

511
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: want to go for a side? Are you do? Do

512
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: you do any prop action? Wild Card weekend? Obviously during

513
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: the season it's a little tougher, but I think you

514
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: there are limits are probably gonna go up. I haven't

515
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: seen any prop numbers, but I certainly have targeted some

516
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: matchups that I like. I mean, first, its uh, Jaguars

517
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: are dead last in the NFL defending the slot. Keenan

518
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: Allen did not play in the earlier meeting. Ceedee Lamb

519
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: had like seven for one six, and I just I

520
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: go and look at PFF. I'm like, oh, Keenan Allen

521
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: is gonna eat. He's facing some guy who I think Herndon,

522
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: who has just struggled big time. And then, um, you

523
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 1: know the tight end situation. The Giants dead last according

524
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: to Football Outsiders stopping the tight end and the vikings.

525
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: What what did Hawkinson do last time? Thirteen for like

526
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 1: a buck ten be at sixteen targets in that game

527
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: sixty and he just got with the team like a

528
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks before. I just like some of that

529
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: small stuff. Do you do you look at any props

530
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: at all on the UM wild Card weekend front? Absolutely?

531
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: And and I'm right there with you. A matter of fact,

532
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna write those down. I like those angles. Anytime

533
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: I can get involved with Keenan Allen. Like I said,

534
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for the Chargers. I really am Keenan Allen.

535
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: I love and he's just a monster. But I'll tell

536
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: you what where I'm targeting. And this is one that

537
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 1: should get a lot of people's attention because he's had

538
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: seven touchdown catches since week fifteen. He's been the go

539
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: to guy for Brock Party. It's it's George Kittle, and

540
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: it's done standable with the young quarterback you know in

541
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: that Shanahan system. Keep things easy. I gotta get pretty

542
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: a ton of credit. It's not like he's dumping the

543
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: ball off the McCaffrey or taking an easy way out.

544
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: But him and Kittle absolutely have some chemistry going, including

545
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in that game in Seattle, I think on

546
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. So he's had seven touchdowns since week fifteen.

547
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: He's on plus one thirty five for any time touchdown.

548
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: I'll have some fun with that. But I think from

549
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,479
Speaker 1: the receiving yards standpoint, I wouldn't be shocked if if

550
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: Kittill gets a ton of action in that game, that's

551
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: a great that's a great look. I just look Seattle

552
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: thirty one in the league defending tight ends Kittill five

553
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Weird. I didn't even know this. He

554
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: did not play in the earlier meeting when they destroyed

555
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 1: them seven and Um, their only score was like on

556
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: a social special team something or other. Yeah, I can't

557
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: make a case at all for Seattle here. Um, I'm

558
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: with you. I think Kittle is definitely a special player. Um,

559
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: I think we cover we touched on every game, right, Yeah, No,

560
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: you're right. It's great that these storylines are tremendous. And

561
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: that San Francisco game, you know, you're talking about the

562
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: things that they were going through to start the season.

563
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: They were three and four, you know, and and at

564
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 1: the time, I believe trailing the Seahawks in the division.

565
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: Now flip side, here we are, and you know, I'm

566
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: with you. I can't make the case for Seattle. They

567
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: scored one offensive touchdown in a hundred twenty minutes. Of play.

568
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: So how am I gonna sit here and say, Okay,

569
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna come down? They just sneak by the rams.

570
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: The rams are atrocious. How you're gonna come down to

571
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: San Francisco and all of a sudden, what San Francisco

572
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 1: is gonna turn the ball over a ton? That's the

573
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: only way I see that game. Stame McCaffrey killed him

574
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: last time. Seattle's linebacker is not good in coverage, and

575
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: Brooks is done for the season, so you know, and

576
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: they got Deebo Samuel back. I think Elijah Mitchell is

577
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: back this week. Like San France should put it all together,

578
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: unless like Brock party totally, you know, craps his pants

579
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,640
Speaker 1: as like an early pick six or and another one,

580
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: and he's rattled and and and Shanahan has nerves about it.

581
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: I think San Fran roles. But al right, Seawan, hey,

582
00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: congrats on the new pod um gambling. Are you are

583
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: you doing any sixers gambling? How are they doing on

584
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: the A. T. S. Front? I have not really looked

585
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: at NVA gamblings. It's like the opening week or two,

586
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: I think they were doing all right. To be honest

587
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: with you, I do I think they were coming through,

588
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: especially as of late when when Joel started taking a season. Seriously,

589
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: just a little bit, we're actually having one third best

590
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,959
Speaker 1: a t s in the league. Um yeah, they since

591
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: all Boston in Milwaukee. That's all anybody talks about, which

592
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: is like a good spot for the Sixers, right, I

593
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: think so. I think so. And you know, we were

594
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: just discussing this on the show where look, I'm not

595
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I don't have the energy anymore. I gave

596
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: it all I could for two cy seasons that Joel

597
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: will be with an m v P this year. He's

598
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: not getting a sniffyet. He's having his best year in

599
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: his career. I get it. He's missed eleven, twelve games,

600
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 1: whatever it is this year. I'm done, Like I'm out

601
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: on the m v P. It comes down to April.

602
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: Get me the playoff time. If everybody is healthy, I

603
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: think this team can compete with those top dogs. But

604
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 1: of course it's Milwaukee and Boston at the time. Up

605
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: you know that. Look, you know Kevin Durant going down

606
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 1: with Brooklyn, that's a huge deal. But they were they

607
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,239
Speaker 1: were turning around. Yeah, yeah, Sixers will see I think

608
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: there could be some value there. I just I just

609
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: know that every year in the playoffs, somebody gets hurt,
