Jeff, 14 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: tell us about your circumstances and how you are calling 15 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: into the podcast right now. Yeah. So, her in Florence 16 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: is out here in North Carolina. We did not get 17 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 1: hit with anything close to what the coast had, but 18 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: I'm in Charlotte and we've probably gotten ten to twelve 19 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: inches of rain in the last twenty four hours and 20 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: actually has stopped raining. But the power has been out 21 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 1: of my house since we're taking us at nine pm, 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: probably about midnight last time. We've got a text message 23 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: from the power company and so we still have no power. 24 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: I'm sitting at my island at my kitchen watching the 25 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: send a football game on my iPad and there's three 26 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: candles that are on and might have a flashtar just 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: in case anyone gets crazy, and hopefully it will beyond soon. 28 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: They start really and tweet this out too. It's not 29 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: great the power out of that. That's bothering. Like we 30 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: were prepared for us. We were all ready to go. 31 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: We we had food this morning. We cooked them in 32 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: green agg as soon as I woke up. We had 33 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: food for the day. We're ready to go. But it's 34 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: not like I could throw like a stone to like 35 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: a house that has power, not even with a backup generator, 36 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: just like that block has power. And that is what 37 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: pisses me off or anything else. Listen, you're too professional, 38 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: and I appreciate it, and I totally totally get it. 39 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: That is the bully for them, But boy, that sucks 40 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: for you. Yes, and it's if the Giants and undercover tonight. 41 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: I feel a lot better because um, I put a 42 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: lot of units on a lot of games special college 43 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: football and just did not happen. So this it would 44 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: make me feel better if I could sit in the 45 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: dark and watch the Giants cover and there not be 46 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: a lot of points scored. We're getting close to that, 47 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: but I hope we can consist in the night. I 48 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: won't know. We can start the week off really starting 49 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: with our plays for week three. Well, here's that's a 50 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: great transition, Jeff, because in case people don't remember how 51 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: the show works from episode one, the three of us 52 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: are each going to come up with three picks that 53 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: we love from college football in the NFL. But it 54 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: couldn't really be anything over the next week. They had 55 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: to used to give people an idea of what to 56 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: preview for the next week. In gambling, right, it's gonna 57 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: be a nine team parlay. We're gonna put down sixty dollars. 58 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: It pays off twenty thousand dollars. All right, any one 59 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: of us can throw a challenge on one of our picks. Uh. 60 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: If one of us loses on the other's behalf, there 61 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: will be very much of disappointed people. I can tell 62 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: you that right now. Um, I want to review for 63 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: a minute, because we had a poll that went out 64 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: on Twitter, on at the Favorites pod, and on Twitter 65 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: asking people to vote on who had the best picks 66 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: last week. Chad had the Jaguars plus one and a half, 67 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: the Chiefs plus five, b y U plus twenty three. Huh, 68 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: what do you know? Those three cover death? That's interesting. 69 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: I didn't even know that was that was gonna be 70 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: the result when I read those. Uh. Jeff Schwartz had 71 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: the Giants plus three. We'll see what happens with that 72 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: because we're taping in the middle.

Well, 86 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: you know I did. I listened to your podcast two 87 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: weeks ago and you're on tilt. And then last week 88 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: you were just felt like you were falling asleep. And 89 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: you know what, now you know what the secret to 90 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: your successes. You were relaxed. Yeah, the beginning of the 91 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: podcast last week you were so angry. You made angry selections. 92 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: But I don't know how to like sort of state 93 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: that you're the Giants rattled you so much last week 94 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: that you beared down a little bit, so hopefully schwartzy. 95 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: I I'm gonna tell you right now. The Missouri Tigers, 96 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: they they they befuddled me a little bit on Saturday. Yeah, 97 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: and they're gonna make me bear down this week. They've 98 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: befuddled me. They should produce through for almost six hundred 99 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: yards and Missouri should have covered the game. How about 100 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: Missouri had the ball on the goal line, first in 101 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: goal and decided to take a kneel and and Purdue 102 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: should just let him walk in for the for the 103 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: at least the tie, and they were NA seven and 104 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: Producer decided to play defense and let them kick the 105 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: field goal. It was just one of those games. Listen, 106 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: if it's going to make you be a better better 107 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: this week, I'm all for it. Okay? Uh, Three things 108 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: I want to discuss from today's games, because and they're 109 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: all tied together. Number one, what do we do with 110 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: the Bucks? Like Jeff Schwartz, you've been in NFL locker rooms, 111 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick is playing like a man renewed. What happens 112 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: when Jameis Winston comes back? Is this team? Is this 113 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: team talented? Is this team playing better than it should? 114 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: Answer all of those questions at once? Well, okay, so 115 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: the deep plays are what I visited them to have 116 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: that happened last year. Right. They have Mike Evans the 117 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: San Jackson as a home bow threat and O. J. 118 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: Howard and today they hit up to seventy five yeard touchdowns, 119 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: which is really abnormal in a balding him on two 120 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: of those, and they obviously beat the Eagles by six. 121 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: They're not running the ball terribly well. They drafted Ronald 122 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: Jokeesph the US the second round. He's not even playing 123 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: right now. He's inactive every week just for nineven injury, 124 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: just just it's a healthy scratch and active. So I 125 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: don't know if we can totally buy campic call yet 126 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: they still have the same issues rushing the passer um 127 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: the Eagles to me, and I picked them minus three. 128 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 1: I thought they're just they're just better all around the camp, 129 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: especially at the line of scrimm. Um. I don't think 130 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: we could buy Tampa quite yet, just because, um, these 131 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: home runs are not something that you can rely on 132 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: throughout the season. You can't build the offense in my 133 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: opinion on and I hope we hit a home run 134 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: of three home runs this week. You have to build 135 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: yourself on consistency, and I don't know if we're gonna 136 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: get that from Ryan Fitzpatrick the whole season. To your 137 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: to your question about Jameis Winston when he comes back, well, 138 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: the first week he's back to have a short week. 139 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: They play on Thursday, so I don't think he plays 140 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: that week. But the future of that franchise is fitzpa 141 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: is Jamis Winston. And this is the I think the 142 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: quandary that the Browns are into. And I think we'll 143 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: talk about them in a second is you know, bigger 144 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: mayfields the future, but Tyronne might give him like tour 145 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: of a chance to win now and what do you 146 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: do to save your job? And dirt cut of their 147 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: coaches trying to save his job. And so that might 148 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: be playing Fitzpatrick longer to get more victories, but it 149 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: really stunts the growth of the future of your franchise, 150 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: which is Jameis Winston. So how do players feel about 151 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: that when that happens. Um, it's a good question. I 152 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: have been in a couple of situations like that. I've 153 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: always wanted to play like the guy who's better at 154 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: the moment, because I want to win football games. You know, 155 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,679 Speaker 1: a lot of us don't think about long term because 156 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: we're not there long term. We don't a lot of 157 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: us don't have long term contracts, or if we do, 158 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: we know that the guaranteed money is only such. You know, 159 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: for two years. I remember and in two thousand and 160 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: eleven we had Matt Moore and Jimmy Claus. Now, Jimmy 161 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: Colston wasn't any good, so it made the decision a 162 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: little bit easier. But you know, Matt Moore was was 163 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: playing average. He was playing well, and we wanted him 164 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: to play because he gives us the best chance to win. 165 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: And as soon as they could find a way to 166 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: take them out, they took him out of the game 167 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: and put in Jimmy Classon, who was an under disaster. 168 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: We were back to Matt More. He heard his collar 169 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: bone and that was the end of that more. Um. 170 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: But like we just the guys will want to play 171 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: the best guy to help them win now, um, and 172 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: especially on that team with older players like a Mike 173 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: Evans or look at the son of Jackson. Don't want 174 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: the guy to give the ball and score a lot 175 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: of points. All right. So you mentioned to Rod Taylor 176 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: and the Browns, Uh is their defense for real? Is 177 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: that something we can count on? And and sort of 178 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: there is a a gambling lens for all this, which 179 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: is we're now two weeks in and we've seen the 180 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: Bucks offense be consistently explosive, and we've seen the Browns 181 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: defense be consistently good. Yes, they were. They were excellent 182 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: runs defense. Last year. I talked to an offensive line 183 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: coach of a team that was playing them. Um uh 184 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: last year he said, did you need to watch their film? 185 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: And you need to like write about it because what 186 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: they're doing is really unique. They basically said last year, 187 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: screw it, We're not going to care at all about 188 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: um about stopping the past. We're gonna stop the run. 189 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: And they did that. And this year you add in, 190 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, a healthy Miles Garrett Um you have who 191 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: has been a monster. Their past rush interior was awesome today. 192 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: And you add in denzil Or who you drafted in 193 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: the first round, and now they can stop the pass 194 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: a little bit. Their defense is legit. If they could 195 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: just please play thinker may feel please, Harold Taylor is 196 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: not helping you win football games. I know that that 197 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: played today the end of the game. I mean, the Saints, 198 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: come on, guys, like you've done this now to two 199 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: years in a row. We can't play defense at the 200 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 1: end of game. So I think the Brown's defense is 201 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: for real, all right? Last question, last question to review 202 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: Week two in the NFL. Vante Davis apparently retired in 203 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: the middle of the game. That's how bad the Bills are. 204 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: And I listen, I was on the Bills bandwagon today. 205 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: I was also on the Cardinals bandwagon today in addition 206 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: to being on the Jacks. But Jeff as our resident 207 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: NFL literal insider. What the freak man? Or is? They 208 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: say in the good place? What the four? Um? That 209 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: was incredible. Um. I always say this, if are if 210 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: you are not willing and able to play this game, 211 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: don't do it. And look we're down from you because um, 212 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: well I'm just I'm done with it, like I can't 213 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: do me more, I can't play anymore. And he just 214 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: Paul he ever had a picture they have at thatt 215 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: and just retire in the middle of the season. Um. 216 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: I've had a couple of guys in the minor leagues 217 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: do it just because they just didn't never had a chance. 218 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: I've had one guy in the big leagues. It was 219 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: Tyler Houston, and um it was because of Davy Johnson. 220 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: I'll never forget it. Two thousand and eight. It was 221 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: the last game of the season and he had an 222 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 1: incentive where if he got over a hundred he was 223 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: a pinch hitter. If you had over a hundred and 224 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: fifty at bats or something to that aspect, he would 225 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: get a fifty tho bonus in his contract. And he 226 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: had a hundred and forty eight at bats. So I 227 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: remember the day the night night before he was saying, 228 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: I'm gonna swing it everything. Well, the last day, it 229 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 1: obviously came from management. It was the last day he 230 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: did not start, so he dressed in street clothes, shook 231 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: everybody's hand in the third hitting and said, night nine, 232 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: I'm retiring. So the Dodgers decided not to play him 233 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: that day and give him his fifty an our bonus, 234 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: which happens a lot and the other sports. And he 235 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: decided to shower in the third inning and left. Wow, 236 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: what did you think of that? Were you like good 237 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: for him? Or were you like, yeah, yeah, it was 238 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: good for him, because you know what, as players, you're 239 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: all for the player. Um Ty was a guy we 240 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 1: picked up midway through the season and he we didn't 241 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. He was sort of sort of supposed 242 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 1: to be our playoff guy or playoff push, and then 243 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: the last five games of the year we sort of 244 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,839 Speaker 1: like ran out of gas and then we were out 245 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: of the race. So play the guy, get him as 246 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: at bats. But I felt bad for for the manager 247 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: because it came from from upstairs. What ends up happening 248 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: in those kind of situations, Teams don't want to dump 249 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: a hundred hundred thousand if their team is not going 250 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. So they pay attention to how 251 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: many games you caught, how many games you played. I 252 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: remember Gary Sheffield one deer one year told me how 253 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: much do I how much is my insensive games played? 254 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: I said, it's twenty five thousand for fifty games. He goes, 255 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: don't worry, you'll get it. I go, what are you 256 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: talking about? It's like, don't worry. So I started taking 257 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: fly balls in left field. He got me fifteen appearances 258 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: in left field just by saying, hey, skip the la 259 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: duke and left I'm sore, we're down, we're up ten one, 260 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: and he got me in my bonus. No way, that's 261 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: the true story. Shot. I always love Gary Sheffield for that, 262 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: but I played it probably if you look, I want 263 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: to say it's um in two thousand or ninety nine, 264 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: and one of those years I had like fifteen and 265 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: seventeen appearances in left field where I played an ending 266 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: or less. We we had a we had a we 267 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: had a d end offer one of our left tackles. 268 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: A bonus. A part of his bonus that he allowed 269 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: him a sack like the end of the season he 270 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: had won more sacks, like to get his like like 271 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: a million dollar bonus, some crazy number. He's like, dude, 272 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: let me get the sackle. You know, I'll let you 273 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: hold like fifty thousand something crazy number like that. It 274 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: was really funny way he did it. But yeah, yeah, 275 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: he didn't give up the sack on purpose. So yeah, 276 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 1: he's like, you need to bonus. So he's like, I'll 277 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,599 Speaker 1: let your hold Steffy. Now who now, who would know 278 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: if he actually would have paid him or not if 279 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: he did it, But no, he of course he didn't 280 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: do on purpose. You can let the sack about purpose? 281 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: Did the guy get the sack? Uh? No, he didn't 282 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: get a sack that game. Screw him. Yeah, screw those guys. 283 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: All right, speaking of money, it's time to let the 284 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: show go on. We got to get together and pick 285 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: nine games that we love so we can go win 286 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: twenty thousand dollars. It didn't happen for the first week, 287 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 1: fellas um, And it didn't happen because you guys both 288 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: sucked and so um. You know what, you guys are athletes. 289 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: You made it to the highest levels of your profession. 290 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: There's like a less than one percent chance for either 291 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,440 Speaker 1: of you to get for anybody to get the level 292 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: you got to. Yet I'm the one, Listen, I'm the 293 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: one who like went three and o the first week. 294 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: I'm the only one keeping us alive right now. I'm 295 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: the only one trying to get us that condo in 296 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: Vista when we can all live in together. Okay, Jess, 297 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: you do it. You start the show, buddy. You know 298 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 1: something that that I spoke to you about when we 299 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: started working together, It's like, how would it be like 300 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: my football instincts go with gambling, because obviously that's something 301 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: that's that's something that's unique. Is you know, do you 302 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: how much do you look at like where you know 303 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: the square play versus starter play versus what I thinks 304 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: can happen on the field. Um, and so when you 305 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: look at these at these lines, Cincinnati is still not 306 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: a sexy pick. Like people are still not respecting and 307 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: they're they're they're now to know they're getting three points. 308 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: It was three and a half. It's pore you bent 309 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: down to three right now. At Carolina, you have the Panthers, 310 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 1: a team that is out there. They're they're tight end 311 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: still both tackles. They played a guy at left tackle 312 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: today who they signed on Tuesday. That's not really ideal. 313 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: The offense is still not getting really anywhere. With Kim Newton. 314 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: That you went to Atlanta, they didn't play very well, 315 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: and look, they didn't terribly play well when we got 316 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys, where we played awful. So now you Sincinnati 317 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: plus three, a team who's two and though who's playing 318 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: really well right now, they look like a playoff team, 319 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: look like the team um there's still ged no respect 320 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: and so I think this is a great play at 321 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: plus three on Sunday. What do you think about that, 322 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: Paula Duca, You know, I don't mind it. It's a 323 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 1: bold pick, right, I mean, I would think the public 324 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: is gonna be on Carolina. He's sort of right. It 325 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: seems like Marvin Lewis has been on the hot seat 326 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: since I was born, and it seems like they're just 327 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: finally going in the wrong direction. And finally I think 328 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: he hit the nail on the head there under the radar. 329 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: This whole Levyan Bell thing with Pittsburgh is Cleveland and 330 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: the Josh Gordon thing. Everybody in their division is sort 331 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: of under turmoil, and for the first time where it 332 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: seems like Cincinnati has always been had sort of the troublemakers. 333 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: Vanta is perfect and all kinds of other things that 334 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: that um that he's had to deal with there. So 335 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: I actually don't mind this pick all. They were dominating 336 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: um uh you know when they played last so Andy 337 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: Dalton looked great. I don't mind the pick at all. 338 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: I think it's a smart pick. Um. Look, the Bengals 339 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: defense is he's a great defensive line, right and look 340 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 1: I loved them in Week one against the Colts. They covered. 341 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: I picked them in Week two on Thursday night against 342 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: the Ravens. I thought the Ravens were just way overrated 343 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: by the public going into that game. Um, I agree 344 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: with the move by the wise guys moving this game 345 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: down from three and a half. The Panthers are still 346 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: one of those teams. Like I didn't know what to 347 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: think of him today. I don't love their defensive secondary. 348 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: I mean, Jeff the right in your backyard. Um, I 349 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 1: don't like the fact that they don't have Greg Olsen. 350 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: But uh so, I don't know what to make of 351 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: them yet, and I don't think it land As defense 352 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: today was as good as Cincinnati's can be next week. 353 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: So um, I can agree with you. I will not 354 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: throw a challenge flag on this pick. We got one already. 355 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: We got one, Paula Duca. Okay, So after having a 356 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 1: guy retire midway through the game, No, come on, man, 357 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: I literally watched Joe Flacco put up forty seven points. 358 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: They actually didn't take their foot off the gas pedal. 359 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: I'm not lying to you. I could have ran through 360 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 1: some of those holes today if they wanted to. The 361 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: Chargers could have put up seventy. They put they took 362 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: their gas off the pedal. At one time. I had 363 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: a chance actually to hit that under. It was basically 364 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 1: to thirteen for a good fifteen minutes of that game, 365 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: and then Josh Allen threw a pick. He's scared to death. 366 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 1: There's no way they put up I would. I would 367 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,679 Speaker 1: make a prop that they don't put up more than 368 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: ten points in Minnesota, and I think Minnesota absolutely buries them, 369 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: and I would I would be surprised if Buffalo they 370 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: are awful on defense, and I'd be surprised if they 371 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: put up over a hundred and fifty yards on offense 372 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: um And I think that Minnesota is just gonna absolutely 373 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: bury them. And the line sixteen and a half. It's 374 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 1: by far the biggest lines, almost nine points bigger than 375 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: any other line in the NFL. Minnesota, so it's my 376 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: pick Bills would be an underdog against the Alabama Crimson Tide. 377 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. That is rarely awful. Chad, did 378 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: you watch the first half of that game? Yeah, I 379 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: watched the I watched the game. They're awful. There's no 380 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: doubt about it. They're a terrible team. They're not going 381 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: to be underdog to Obama. More importantly, you want to 382 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: make a sixteen and a half point favorite one of 383 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: our picks a sixteen and a half. You're telling me 384 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: that Josh Allen's gonna be able to handle that crowd 385 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: in Minnesota after Minnesota got dead lucky too, By the way, 386 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: what are the chances they're being back to back ties 387 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: in in the NFL week? But Minnesota's got to feel 388 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: a little bit fortunate that they tied that game, so 389 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: a little bit of a win. You tie Green Bay 390 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: Divisional now here it comes Buffalo coming in. Josh Allen 391 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: is going to be literally he won't be able to 392 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: even hear the count. I've watched both of the games. 393 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 1: Chat at home and they have been a nile. I'm 394 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 1: not lying to you. If Philip Rivers didn't take the 395 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: gas off today, they would have put up fifty something points. 396 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: I mean, Melvin Gordon was running through holes bigger than 397 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: the l A. I looked this line too. This is 398 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: one of those were like as a as A as 399 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: like a guy who's like a football guy, Like there's 400 00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: a win seven right, Like it's gonna not even be close. 401 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: And I kind of agree with that. So here's what 402 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: I look at that, Chaid. I had a question for 403 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: you on this chat. So if you Minnesota so far 404 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: has scored twenty four I believe at home, and then 405 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 1: they scored twenty nine today, So how many points in 406 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: Minnesota scores on Buffalo thirty Let's say it was thirty one, 407 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: so then how many this Buffalo score Minnesota? Like, I 408 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: just it's a lot of points. I don't know. The 409 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: other part chat, they were dealing with Aaron Rodgers today 410 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: eyeballs in every part of their head. Now they're dealing 411 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: with Josh Allen, who's going to be shaking different ballgame? 412 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: Am I allowed to take a pause on the Challenge 413 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: Flash and like wait to see what other pis we 414 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 1: lasterday before, let's put it in this one. I'm not 415 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: sure I agree with you. It's too it's too many points. 416 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: That way, you're the same guy when New Mexico is 417 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 1: down fourteen nothing you texted me and go nice pick 418 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: when New Mexico will have to talk about this one. Meanwhile, 419 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: you jinks my other two picks in Mexico is the 420 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: only one I won. Thanks by the way I was 421 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: giving you encouragement, nice job. I knows psychology. The way 422 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,679 Speaker 1: it was, I was like the duca, he's a genius. 423 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: Nice He's he's so right on that pick that even 424 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: though they're losing, I know they're still going to come back. 425 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: And a way, that's what I was thinking. You are 426 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: a leader. Leader. All right, I'm going to lead us 427 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: into the next pick because we're putting a pin in 428 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,239 Speaker 1: this one. Uh all right, here's my first pick. Are 429 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: you ready? Are you ready? College football boys? Mississippi State 430 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: is a ten point favorite at Kentucky. I would say 431 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: Mississippi State, which is undefeated, it might be a top 432 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: five team if Mississippi States helmets were a different color 433 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: and had you know, Florida on them instead of miss 434 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: Ssippi State. They'd be a top three team right now. 435 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: Like I think they are that good. And Um Colin Wilson, 436 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: who writes for the Action Network and UH covers college 437 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: football for US and it's sort of a college football savant. 438 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,879 Speaker 1: He puts out this great story every Sunday morning, and 439 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: I used this as the basis for my pick for 440 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 1: b y U as an underdog against Wisconsin. That was 441 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: one of the picks that went three and oh in 442 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: our parlor show. Um, he puts out a story every 443 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: every morning, every Sunday morning, where he gives his own 444 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: power ringings on what the spreads should be. He has 445 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: Mississippi is a thirteen and a half point favorite in 446 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: this game on the road. The books opened it at ten. 447 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 1: I was emailing with Colin. The only thing we can 448 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: think of is that bookmakers believe Mississippi State might be 449 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: looking ahead to Florida to playing Dan Mollen, their old coach, 450 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: the following week, so they're shading Kentucky a little bit. 451 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: But I like Mississippi State in this spot as a 452 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: ten point favorite over Kentucky on the road. I just 453 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: bet this game on our app. Actually, I work out 454 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: as you were talking this is fabulous. Um, I'm not 455 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 1: trusting Kentucky ever to play football now. They did end 456 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: their strict in Suplorida before. I don't think it's a 457 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: very good right now. And you're right State, if they 458 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 1: had any other mascot or any other any other Jersey 459 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 1: color I agree with you, maybe be much higher ranked. 460 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: I kind of like this pick as a as a 461 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: low te as you see a matchup on Sunday. I 462 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: bet this as soon as I saw it, as soon 463 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 1: as the lines came out. I bet Mississippi State minus 464 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,639 Speaker 1: ten DUCA. I like it. I was looking at this 465 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: pick as well because you know, UK s three and 466 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: o for the first time in a long time. They 467 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: beat Central Michigan. Obviously, they beat Florida. Florida beat up 468 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: on Colorado State. I actually like the Colorado State a 469 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: little bit this week, and they were in that game 470 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: for a little bit and then second half. It seems 471 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: like a good play for people out there. By the way, 472 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: the SEC teams when they played these smaller teams in 473 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: the second half, they've just been annihilating other schools and 474 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: then they beat up on Murray State. So I think 475 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 1: that's the other thing to chat like the people are 476 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 1: seeing Kentucky three and oh there's gonna be a giant 477 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 1: crowd from a guy that's actually covered horse racing and 478 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: gone to Lexington and see how people do travel well there. Um, 479 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a big game in Kentucky. So 480 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 1: that worries me a tiny bit. But I do think 481 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: Mississippi States the real deal. And I already see that 482 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: you and Jeff have your your minus ten on and your's. 483 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: You're a guy that is a guy that does not 484 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: like the way LEI uh road favorite. So this is 485 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: this is a big pick for you, Chad. It is 486 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: I don't like the road favorites. I'm also not a 487 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,440 Speaker 1: huge college football guy like normally. Um, I will wait 488 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: until I start to get more information before I decided 489 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,239 Speaker 1: to make a bet in college football. But I'm feeling it. 490 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: I'm feeling it after b y U. I'm feeling it 491 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 1: on Mississippi State. It just doesn't make any sense to me. 492 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: Great team not getting enough credit, Jeff once your next 493 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: all right, Um, I find my stay in the NFL 494 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: here and it's kind of my team about teams not 495 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: getting a lot of respect. And again I'm and I 496 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: know the Raiders covered today. But I'm kind of on 497 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: this favorite Raiders thing all seasons that I think that 498 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 1: there even though that the game, you know, they won today, 499 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: I don't think they played tar on the second half 500 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: and they staid a lot of holes, like they have 501 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: to travel now after a really tough loss in Denver, 502 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: it's all the way to Miami. Um, you can play 503 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: in Miami. Team that's two and ouh right, they beat 504 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: the Jets. Uh this week actually pund the Jets really 505 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: in New York after you know, everyone felt the Jets 506 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: who were gonna win eleven twelve games they beat Tennessee 507 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: already this year. Um, they're they're only laying three points. 508 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: I kind of and I think it's another underrated team 509 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: who's playing really good ball. I know, Chad, do you 510 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: talk about it often? Like the Southern teams that no 511 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: one really cares about that they kind of follow in 512 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: that category. Um, I forget your exact terms on that, 513 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: but it feels like there's another game where no one's 514 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: respecting the Dolphins. There's already seven seventy seven percent of 515 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: there in Oakland and they lost today like they haven't 516 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: played good ball yet. And I just talked this as 517 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: another way to face the public of this game. That 518 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 1: is interesting. I don't know. I don't know why the 519 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 1: money is coming in in Oakland, and it might be 520 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: wise guy money right now, but I agree the line 521 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: has moved. It opened at four and now it's down 522 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: to three and a half. If it's gonna keep coming in, 523 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: I wonder if, um, if it's going to go even 524 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: lower and get to three, I would like Miami even 525 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: more there, Polly, you've been to Miami. Pick is just 526 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,399 Speaker 1: like you know, everybody thought that Miami is gonna have 527 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: the worst roster in that division, But that line is 528 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: so telling you to play the other side. I actually 529 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: think it's a sharp pick, Chad, to be honest with you. 530 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: Like Miami minus three and a half, Well, here's the 531 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: thing that they sort of let Darnauld and Jets have 532 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: their chances to get back in that game today. But 533 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,720 Speaker 1: the Miami's got a better defense than you think, and um, 534 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: when Tannehill is healthy, he can keep them in that game. 535 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: And again, like Cincinnati, Miami two games, I would have 536 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: never thought. And again we talked about the tickets that 537 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: you really don't want to send in and the tickets 538 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: you should play and I would have never thought he 539 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: would have picked Miami. So I actually like this pick. Yeah, 540 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: I can't disagree. I want to do that. Thing about Tannehill, 541 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: by the way, is in twenty sixteen they made the 542 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: playoffs with worth Ryan Tannehill. Now he got hurt of 543 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: that more of the play you know, the last couple 544 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: of games last year, he wasn't there. They were erect 545 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: Adam Gates. Remember their head coaches is considered like one 546 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: of these offensive minds, like a Sean McVeigh, like like 547 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: a Kyle Shanahan, like your Mattinee, like all these young coaches. 548 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: Host considered of that note, he just hasn't had the 549 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: quarterback here Jake Covert last ness, and I was seeing 550 00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: him with Ryan Tannehill again, who's not a top ten quarterback, 551 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: but he's probably like twelve or fifteen when he's healthy, 552 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: which is plenty enough to win a game when you 553 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: have other peatres around you. So I think, though they're 554 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: getting those credits so far, I don't disagree. It's weird 555 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: to me that the money is already coming in and 556 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 1: the Raiders, it'll be interesting to see a playoff. This 557 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: is the beauty of doing this podcast on a Sunday 558 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: night when lines are first posting and we're starting to 559 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: see like the first hits come in, because it gives 560 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: us an indication of what some of the wise guys 561 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: are doing. I'm I'm with you, Jeff, like I think 562 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: Miami's the right the right side on here. Uh, PAULI 563 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: eure up next, Okay with my next selection, and it's 564 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: I'm not a piggyback on your boy. And we're talking 565 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,479 Speaker 1: about teams that are a little bit underappreciated. And how 566 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 1: about Washington State. Now they're there are three and oh 567 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: they won forty one and nineteen. You know they shut 568 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: out San Jose State and you talk about swarts. He 569 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: said that you lost a lot of units. San Jose 570 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: State gave Oregon some fits this weekend, um sort of 571 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: state in that game, like Oregon can never really just 572 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: like spurred away from them at all. So to me, 573 00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: this is a simple, simple game. Listen to our way 574 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 1: Colin Wilson and playing an underrated team here in the 575 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: PAC twelve. Now the Arizona State losing, we need teams 576 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: out of the Pac twove to start emerging, and I 577 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: think Washington States to play here against SC plus two points. 578 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: I have to pick another pick now, Paul, this is 579 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: gonna be my third one. I love this pick. I 580 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: saw this right away. Um, you have a USC team 581 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: that is not very good, and I think there's a 582 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: lot of questions now whether quite Healton is really good coach, 583 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: because we saw he was everybody doing without Sam Donald 584 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: and some general place for two years. He's pretty good. 585 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: And now you know the first haskins against un LV, well, 586 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: really they were only up nineteen nineteen to fourteen entering 587 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and they scored in three touchdowns of 588 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 1: some of the fourth quarter when they came easily. Um, 589 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: they lost the Stanford really a no contest seventeen three, 590 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: and then Texas blew them out of Texas is six 591 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: and sixteen or seven or sixteen, Like they're just like, okay, 592 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: Texas might get run out of the gym by TCUs 593 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: this week. They probably will. So I think this is great. 594 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: You get the point. And by the way, also, Paul, 595 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: your West Coast guy, you know this Friday night night 596 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: games in the Pac twelve or funky Dude, they're weird 597 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: as can be and there's a lot of upsets on 598 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 1: Friday night in the Pact full conference. Um, this feels 599 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: very much like like a Washington State could win this 600 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: game out right. I'm with both of you. It was 601 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: one of the games that I had sort of pegged 602 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: on the board and I knew Jeff that you wanted 603 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: to take it, and then Paul just stole it from you. 604 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: As a guy who played in the Pack twelve, is 605 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,239 Speaker 1: it stranger to play a game on a Friday night? 606 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: Is it harder to play a game on a Friday night? 607 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,960 Speaker 1: The Pac twelve has had really weird scheduling quirks, and 608 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: they fixed some of these issues that they've had on 609 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: like Friday night. It's like they've they've always like sent 610 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: like really good teams like out of like not out 611 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: of conference, but like two weird spots, like they put 612 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: like a Rank USC team up in Pullman in Washington. 613 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: It's like a weird place to play it. Are you know, 614 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: are you playing core Vallence organ Stay on the Friday night. 615 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: They've just always have sent like really good teams that 616 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: really like the weirdest places to play in the conference. 617 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: And if you've ever been to Pullman or you ever 618 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: been to core Valence, like you kind of would understand 619 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: the quirkiness of those places. Um, and I'm just it's 620 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 1: just as patle after dark. The games to start, you know, 621 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: late at night, they're just odd. Man. There's a lot 622 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: of points they don't go as you think they're gonna go. 623 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 1: It's just a weird Conference West sometimes when the Whites 624 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: are on alright. So now we're at Washington State plus 625 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: four in a half against USC. I agree, um, Indianapolis 626 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: called plus seven against the Philadelphia Eagles. Here's my logic. 627 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: Number one, Andrew Luck. I am all in on Andrew Luck. 628 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: He was great in that game against the Bengals in 629 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: Week one, and if not for Jack Doyle fumbling the ball, 630 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: I kind of feel like the Colts win that game. 631 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: Like he was driving him down. The Bengals were having 632 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 1: a hard time stopping him. He's magical. I know that 633 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: goes against a lot of what we talked about in 634 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: Jeff's pick, but I felt like Andrew Luck was great 635 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 1: and like you could see why he was Andrew Luck 636 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,080 Speaker 1: and why people were so excited for him to come back. 637 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: Number two, the defense hasn't been great, but they've been 638 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: better and they've got a lot of young talent that 639 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: flies to the ball, and I've been really impressed. Obviously, 640 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: they did a great job against Alex Smith and Washington 641 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: today and the Eagles on the flip side, they have 642 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: not been able to move the ball. They have not 643 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: been impressive. And Nick Foles has been uh kind of 644 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,720 Speaker 1: a game manager without any place in his arsenal. He 645 00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: hasn't been the guy that played in the playoffs last 646 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: year and uh at the end of the season. So 647 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: I feel like you're getting the better quarterback, um and 648 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: a team that is getting a lot of confidence, uh 649 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: with a pretty big number. I love this pitch for 650 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. Why UM One is you know, 651 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 1: the Eagles again are playing a backup quarterback. I think 652 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: we keep forgetting that they are playing a backup quarterback, 653 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 1: right Nick Foles gonna be a backup when when when 654 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: we comes right now, Wentz might be clear this week 655 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: to start practicing. So I don't know if he's gonna play, 656 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: but he does play, he's gonna be rusty. And I 657 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: think with Andrew's luck, you always give yourself an opportunity 658 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 1: to um to you know, cup to winning games like 659 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: he's a great guy to kind of like cover for you. 660 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: I think every game, at the very end of game, 661 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: he seems to be scrambled and making plays. And I 662 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: think this is a lot of points here for Cold Steam. 663 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: That's a little bit undervalue, and the Eagles team is 664 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: a little overvalued. Yeah, I lovesick Chat. I like a 665 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 1: lot uh Folds is getting a little happy feet and 666 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 1: j I was he came out of the game and 667 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: then came back in the game, so he was a 668 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,240 Speaker 1: little bit banged up. So and I always love betting 669 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 1: on the next beard. He's one of my favorite guy. 670 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: I am plus units with Andrew Luck. Like he's just 671 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: you know how you have like a favorite guy to 672 00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: play on you Like he just doesn't doesn't know me anything. 673 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,600 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck doesn't know anything whenever I play him or 674 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 1: play against him. The neck beard works well. Listen, if 675 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: there's anything that I'm we're gonna bet against, it's a 676 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,200 Speaker 1: neck beard. And it's also Andrew Luck. Has um there's 677 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: a fake Andrew Luck handle on Twitter. It's outstaff outstanding. Yeah, 678 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: it's amazing, and I wish I could find it. I 679 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: wish I could I could captain Andrew Luck or something 680 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: like that. Something like that. Yeah, and it's like just 681 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: him as a as a Civil War general writing letters 682 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: home to his loved one. Oh and they're great. And 683 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,359 Speaker 1: he always puts neck beard in there too. He knows 684 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 1: he has it too, which is he he acknowledges him 685 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: running it. I don't think it's him running it is. 686 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: It's a parody account. It is a parody. Okay, Uh, 687 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: it's absolutely great and it's hilarious. Yeah, Jeff Schwartz, you're 688 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,799 Speaker 1: up all right. Since PAULI took my college pick, I'm 689 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:51,880 Speaker 1: gonna go back to NFL. And I actually saw this 690 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,040 Speaker 1: total is now posted. I'm glad it's finally posted a 691 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: lot of points, but I'm going over fifty four and 692 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:03,240 Speaker 1: a half ton of points and sl Chiefs and forty Niners. 693 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: First home game for the Chiefs. Pamlahomes right now has 694 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: ten touchdowns and no interceptions. He is absolutely baller right now. 695 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 1: And we've seen the Niners allowed four in Minnesota. They 696 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 1: also allowed twenty seven today to the Lions at home. 697 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: But really I'm picking this game because the Chief's defense 698 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 1: is garbage. They are garbage. They have allowed I'll pull 699 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 1: up right now to make sure I have the numbers right. 700 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,160 Speaker 1: They allowed four hundred and twenty four passing yards to 701 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: sell up rivers and in zero cardor game Week one, 702 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,280 Speaker 1: the charters dropped like seven touchdown passes and they allowed 703 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: twenty points. Chiefs said today to Pittsburgh they allowed thirty 704 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: seven points and Big Ben had four hundred and fifty 705 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: yards passing. The Chief's defense is so bad. You combine 706 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,839 Speaker 1: that with a really good Chief's offense that can it's 707 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: multidimantal hard to stop. We know that Andy Reid start 708 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,879 Speaker 1: seasons really fast, and I was there. We were nine 709 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 1: and oh to start last year. They were five and 710 00:36:58,160 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: oh to start this year. That seemed to be the 711 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,720 Speaker 1: same way. I think at points rain down the arrowhead 712 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,320 Speaker 1: this weekend, But what do you think of what's it 713 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: like to start a season nine or now? Um, it 714 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: was great until we went to Denver and Payton Manning 715 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,480 Speaker 1: just tore us apart. In Remember I was, I was 716 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,320 Speaker 1: standing on the sidelines, and I'll never forget this because 717 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 1: it made me like really understand how good paying Manning was. 718 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying the sidelines and I'm like there, I'm like 719 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: the thirty and there with the other thirty and I'm 720 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,280 Speaker 1: on the sidelines and I hear is like he throws 721 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: a path down the sidelines right like it's to come 722 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: to the ball smore right at man, I thought to myself, dude, 723 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: there is no way this ball gets to where it's 724 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: supposed to be. And it hit the receiver right in 725 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: the hands and a guy caught like right in front 726 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: of me. I was like in such an awe of 727 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: paying Manning throwing the football. I think it's the first 728 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: time I ever played against him. Um, we lost that game, 729 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: and then we lost the game two weeks later to 730 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 1: them as well, but that was a little close to 731 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: the second time. Um, but nine, it was fun, man, 732 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: because you basically hit yourself a playoff spot when you 733 00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: start nine. Oh and we do make the playoff set year. 734 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 1: But what are the coaches like, Like, what do they 735 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 1: have you do in the film room? Are they is 736 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 1: it like do they celebrate the wins or they just 737 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,360 Speaker 1: keep telling you don't believe the hype. This is what 738 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: we got to get better at that kind of thing. 739 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I think selling the wins is as a 740 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 1: little much. I mean, day they we celebrate the wins. 741 00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: I mean, Andy reads a big fan of giving us 742 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: like he give us Mondays off when we want to 743 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 1: be nine straight mondays off, but we we had some issues. 744 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,800 Speaker 1: They're like, we offensively took us a while to go 745 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: nine year, so we want a couple of games that season, 746 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: especially in the first nine games with our defensive special teams. 747 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 1: I think that year we had the NFL defensive touchdowns 748 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: and especially in the touchdowns. So you know, we went 749 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: to Buffalo in one game like end of seven, like 750 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: somebody crazy like that. But then when then we ended 751 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: the year by the way, scoring like fifty six points, 752 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,799 Speaker 1: four nine points thirty five. Part we scored a lot 753 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: to end the season, but it just took us a 754 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:51,799 Speaker 1: while to get going. It's just a lot of fun 755 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 1: because the NFL is such a tough sport to play, 756 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: and really the only thing that unites the entire loss 757 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: from the coaching asked, the meeting, the people that the 758 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: pr the trainers as winning football games. It makes the 759 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: entire facility just so much more fun to be around. So, um, 760 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: it's awesome to win football games. It's only we're going 761 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 1: to miss about playing if the feeling of playing three hours, 762 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: you're all beat up, you're tired, your swore, but you 763 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 1: walk in that locker room and everyone's happy because you 764 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: want a football game. That's what I feel like. That's 765 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,840 Speaker 1: why people celebrate so much when they get to the 766 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 1: end zone. It's hard to get in the end zone, 767 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: like you should celebrate because you don't know if you'll 768 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:33,479 Speaker 1: ever get there again. That's why you should celebrate about 769 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: going three and oh this week, Chad, I am celebrating that, Paul, 770 00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: are you doing that dance with us? Everybody seeing it? 771 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: Thank you for bringing that up. What is the longest 772 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 1: winning streak you ever had in baseball? Winning streak? Oh, 773 00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 1: that's a good question. I think we had like a 774 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 1: ten game when I was in the minor leagues somewhere 775 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 1: in that area, the whowhere in that area? Yeah? Oh 776 00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: you dogging for a while? That makes a lot of 777 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,719 Speaker 1: sense to me. Wow, Paul, what do you think of 778 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: Jeff's pick over fifty four? Um? Yeah, there's gonna be 779 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,319 Speaker 1: a lot of points. And um, I watched most of 780 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: the Detroit game today. Matthew Stafford. By the way, if 781 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: you remember, Chad, Jeff Schwartz claimed him as a Hall 782 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: of Famer and we saw his Hall of Fame stats 783 00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: say when they were down, um, he threw for a 784 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: Tony yards and golden Tate made it look nice and 785 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:30,359 Speaker 1: all the warm and fuzzy inside. They're late. Um, yeah, 786 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: they have no d and I think there's gonna be 787 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 1: a lot of points scored, so many penalties called. It's 788 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,400 Speaker 1: it's just getting out of control, some of the penalties 789 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: that have been called and drives being extended. I want 790 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,800 Speaker 1: to say some of the early games, sixty or seventy 791 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: percent of them went over the total. So vegas Is 792 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: gonna have to start a justin knees and you're gonna 793 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: see a lot of these totals start going into the 794 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: upper forties. Forty and forty six is are going away. 795 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,759 Speaker 1: You know, these forty ones and forty two s for 796 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 1: under and overs, they're gonna start going away too. I 797 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,440 Speaker 1: agree with you. I think this is an opportunity. I 798 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: think it's an opportunity for exactly what you just said, 799 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: Like vegas Is still hasn't quite adjusted to any new 800 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:14,200 Speaker 1: offensive rules and some new systems that are being developed. Um, 801 00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,160 Speaker 1: I am all over this. Uh. I hate going over 802 00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 1: like a big number. And Jeff, when you first said it, 803 00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,319 Speaker 1: I was like, this guy's a fucking square. But I've 804 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: come around in the last few minutes. I was going 805 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:33,239 Speaker 1: to challenge you. I was gonna challenge you.

Oh God, this is gonna 808 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,359 Speaker 1: be like a classic La Duca trash pick. But let's 809 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:47,640 Speaker 1: hear it Duca trash pick. Wow, Hey, I wouldn't see 810 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 1: Titans in Mike Vrabel. It turns out that Blaine Gabber 811 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: actually turns out to the coaching tree at Bill Belichick 812 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: does produce wins. Okay, Mike Vrabel got his first win 813 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 1: today with Blaine Gabbert at the Helm. So now they 814 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:08,280 Speaker 1: go into Jacksonville, who just destroyed the New England Patriots. 815 00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:11,680 Speaker 1: Everybody's darling, and what line do they hang up for 816 00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: you six and a half? Come to Las Vegas, come 817 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: play the Jacksonville Jaguars, who just beat the mighty Patriots, 818 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: and lay your six and a half points and lose 819 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,760 Speaker 1: all your money while Paula Duca bets the Tennessee Titans 820 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: the Fighting Rabels plus six and a half book at Danio, 821 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 1: give me a reason. It is the biggest trap line 822 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 1: in history. What everybody saw today was a dominating performance 823 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: by New England they actually saw a pretty good performance 824 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,000 Speaker 1: by Blake Bortles. His receivers were open everywhere. That long 825 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 1: delivery was never any hindrance. Because the Patriots have no 826 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: pass rush for some reason, they match up very very well. 827 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: Claias Campbell was at one point going into the game 828 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 1: was not supposed to play. He ended up playing. They 829 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: won the game without for a net, which to me 830 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: sometimes I think he can hinder them every once in 831 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: a while. So it did not matter. They won the 832 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,840 Speaker 1: game on defense and they just give the Patriots fits. 833 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,480 Speaker 1: But now this is a game where it's in a 834 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 1: divisional game. They know each other. Mariota might play next week. 835 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: I'm telling you this is gonna be a three point game. 836 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 1: Vegas is hanging this line up begging for you to 837 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:33,439 Speaker 1: play the Jacksonville Jaguars, and people are people are gonna 838 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: actually line up and bet Blake Portles this week, and 839 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:41,839 Speaker 1: I am gonna laugh. I think it's actual hard this week. 840 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,360 Speaker 1: I do wonder if the line gets above stuff, and 841 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: I doubt I bet, I bet the juice will just 842 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: change against the Times beat the jack Wars. Now, well, 843 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: they beat him twice in a row last year, and 844 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 1: and it was around they just seem to have their number. 845 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,400 Speaker 1: They wanted to just team to ten late in the season. 846 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 1: They won big early year, something like thirty step into 847 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:04,440 Speaker 1: twenties something around that. The penn of yere Um. It 848 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:08,240 Speaker 1: just worries me when you have both of the tackles 849 00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,720 Speaker 1: for Titans were out this week against the Jaguars defense 850 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: and blame Gabber. It's just that that whole package worries me, though. Um. 851 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,560 Speaker 1: But I think to your point about fading the public, 852 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 1: there will be a spot to face the public. You 853 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 1: guys are fucking idiots. Wow, I well, we just well, 854 00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 1: we chose one. The problem is is I kind of 855 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 1: want to challenge the other one Paul had, But I 856 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,040 Speaker 1: don't have to choose one of the other to challenge. 857 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,399 Speaker 1: I am so okay. So say we're gonna challenge New 858 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,839 Speaker 1: Mexico last week Day one. Every game that you guys 859 00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 1: want to challenge, I win. The ones you don't want 860 00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,319 Speaker 1: to challenge, I don't win, So that I gotta keep 861 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:53,200 Speaker 1: this inn in our practice reps. We did challenge that 862 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:57,840 Speaker 1: Baltimore Miya seven and he won that one. So what 863 00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,200 Speaker 1: are you saying right now I should back off that 864 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,279 Speaker 1: I should watch your next we should wait for all 865 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:04,879 Speaker 1: the picks and then go over them and then see 866 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:11,360 Speaker 1: why one cham. I think that some themes are going 867 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: to develop here. I think that the Rams are going 868 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:20,839 Speaker 1: to continually get high numbers and they're going to cover. 869 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 1: I think the Jags are going to continually get high 870 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: numbers and they're going to cover. Oh my god, you're 871 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: not buying into the Blake Bortles ice cream in week two? Honestly, 872 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: you you seriously you were buying in the Jimmy gar 873 00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 1: appolo until a week to No, no, no, no, here's 874 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm telling you. I watched the Jaguars beat up on 875 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 1: the Giants so badly. Their defense is so good, they 876 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: are so confident. They're zero points at halftime against the Cowboys. 877 00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 1: They are so fast at every position. I think they're amazing, 878 00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,399 Speaker 1: and I don't think the Titans have anything that can 879 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 1: compete with the Jaguars. I'm not uncomfortable laying six and 880 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,760 Speaker 1: a half on the Jaguars at home against the Titans. 881 00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: I think that's probably gonna be the right side. Have 882 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 1: you ever done voiceovers? You see amazing, no pun intended, 883 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:18,919 Speaker 1: so amazing. This is the game that I personally would 884 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,680 Speaker 1: not bet all. That means that I should choulenge it 885 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 1: or just we have Paul on this podcast for a 886 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 1: reason and we should let like let him pick and 887 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 1: do not have to challenge every pace. I don't. I 888 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 1: don't know what to do. Chad, you sound like my wife. 889 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,400 Speaker 1: You know, tonight we were we were it was the 890 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,839 Speaker 1: neighborhood black party tonight, and our older son is out 891 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,080 Speaker 1: and he wanted to stay out later and I was 892 00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:50,800 Speaker 1: texting with him and I said no, and then he 893 00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 1: was arguing with me in the text, and I just 894 00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 1: looked to my wife and I'm like, I don't know 895 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 1: what to do anymore. She goes, I don't think I 896 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:05,000 Speaker 1: com parent anymore, said and I feel like I feel 897 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:08,840 Speaker 1: like you're like, I don't know what into by the 898 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:15,400 Speaker 1: end of every pont like like last week when you 899 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,040 Speaker 1: give that New Mexico pick. You know, child was like, Jeff, 900 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:19,239 Speaker 1: what do you think? And I was like, what do 901 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 1: you want me to tell you? I don't. I have 902 00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 1: not researched and real grand rivalry, so obviously Paul had 903 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,279 Speaker 1: done it with some research. I just like, I am 904 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:30,600 Speaker 1: very anti blacke Bortles. I think a lot of my 905 00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,600 Speaker 1: like like like I beg guess Jaguars Now two weeks 906 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,759 Speaker 1: in a row, I've obviously lost those two bets. Like 907 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 1: I'm just very anti blade Bortles, and maybe I should 908 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 1: get in the Bordles train, but like I think he's 909 00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,880 Speaker 1: not a very good quarterback. And like today, for example, 910 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,239 Speaker 1: they just for whatever reason, do anyone was like, we're 911 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 1: gonna play two man and Jaguars gonn run a bunch 912 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 1: of crossing routes, and everyone wasn't gonna change their defense 913 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,560 Speaker 1: for anything, like we're gonna do it. I belt check. 914 00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:54,360 Speaker 1: This is a stubborn ass like that. Sometimes he just 915 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,239 Speaker 1: doesn't used to prove a point, or he wants to 916 00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,400 Speaker 1: see how guys handled the pressure, or he you know, 917 00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:00,840 Speaker 1: this is a game where he decided to do you 918 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 1: know what, We're going to see how how two men 919 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 1: works in this j You know, jacksonvilsone else are running 920 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:06,840 Speaker 1: was seeing the playoffs. Again, I don't know what. I 921 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: don't know what he was doing. But there are guys 922 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,839 Speaker 1: are running old place, and I just I don't find 923 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 1: boils Man, but I don't really terribly. I want to 924 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 1: bet against him now and to bet against him, all right, 925 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 1: The best argument you made was that we got LaDuke 926 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,239 Speaker 1: on this podcast for a reason, we might as well 927 00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:33,560 Speaker 1: let it thinks, Wow, let it make us picks. All right, 928 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 1: So here's my last pick. Here's my last pick. I 929 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:42,800 Speaker 1: am gonna go with the Cleveland Browns minus three and 930 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 1: a half over the New York Jets and Jeff the 931 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:52,319 Speaker 1: Browns defense man. You said it at the beginning. They 932 00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:56,799 Speaker 1: are a wild, wild bunch. They are talented, they are young. 933 00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 1: Greg Williams. I feel like Greg Williams might be the 934 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 1: deep it's of coordinator, the only defensive coordinator in the 935 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,920 Speaker 1: league who's actually worth points against the points Brett like, 936 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 1: he has that team playing well. And um, I'm just 937 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 1: impressed by them. I've watched so much of them in 938 00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 1: the first two weeks. I'm not impressed with the Jets 939 00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 1: at all. Uh the lines to me, weren't that good 940 00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,000 Speaker 1: in week one. Uh the Dolphins kind of destroyed the 941 00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 1: Jets and dominating them today. Um, give me the Brownies 942 00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,760 Speaker 1: minus three and a half. So you're picking the Browns 943 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 1: to win their first game. I need a challenge, drive, 944 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:36,080 Speaker 1: I need a chance. I needed nineteen tries. Nineteen tries. 945 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,719 Speaker 1: You're picking the Browns to win essentially once the last 946 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:43,239 Speaker 1: time they've been favorite shwartsy. I don't want to even 947 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 1: want to know. But it's been about three years. Boy, 948 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:48,920 Speaker 1: here's the thing. You're you're lucky. I won't get over 949 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,800 Speaker 1: the k because he went to Arizona State that that 950 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,359 Speaker 1: half point bothers me a lot. That game, that game 951 00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: today did not disturb you. If you can't win that 952 00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,560 Speaker 1: game today, when you ever gonna win, game has already 953 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,799 Speaker 1: been bent down. It opened a three and a half, 954 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,919 Speaker 1: now it's a three. You said that last week about 955 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 1: New Mexico. Oh Man money coming in interesting, interesting early 956 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,959 Speaker 1: money hold on one sec. Early money, Uh is all 957 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:23,960 Speaker 1: on Cleveland. Early action is all in Cleveland. Yet the 958 00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,600 Speaker 1: line has been bent down to three, which means some 959 00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: wise guy money came in on the Jets. Josh Gordon, 960 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:33,640 Speaker 1: he puffed a big blunt and he plaint all the 961 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:38,960 Speaker 1: money on the Jets. Um they are. The Browns are too. 962 00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 1: They'll get to spread by the way. Um you and 963 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,200 Speaker 1: Jackson's won one game, so we needed to win his 964 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,319 Speaker 1: second game. But he's got to win it by more 965 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,920 Speaker 1: than how many points? Three points? So here's some starts. 966 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 1: Three Do we allow Chad? Do we allow Chad to 967 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: take this pick, and then we could just mock him 968 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,920 Speaker 1: the rest of the season for taking the Browns as 969 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:07,239 Speaker 1: a favor Here's the thing, like like like like you 970 00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,719 Speaker 1: know the phrase, nobody puts baby in a corner. He's 971 00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,680 Speaker 1: got he's got us in a corner. Like I'm one 972 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,399 Speaker 1: and two. You might go in three or one and two, 973 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 1: he's three and no. We were buried. We cannot argue 974 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 1: his picks were like last week. We had had a 975 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:25,520 Speaker 1: bigger argument, but that was a test show. He banged 976 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:29,040 Speaker 1: us when it happened, like we we we had good 977 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 1: spring trainings and he went off first week of the year.
