Speaker 1: am joined Bye Bob Scooge, bookmaker for the r leans

4

00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: big show. I'm so giddy. Here we go. Let's roll.

6
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: That is the most satisfying introduction in the history of

7
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: introductions for a sports betting podcast that airs on Wednesdays

8
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,240

Speaker 1: me every time. Scooch. Our numbers last week were huge.

11
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: Some might say it's because the public had a big

12
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: week the week before and was looking to get some

13
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: advice to spend their money. I think it's because people

14
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: are starting to come around to the theme music. Yeah,

15
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: I think it's the music I'm banking on that. We

16
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: have so much to talk about. I have so many announcements. Um.

17
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: First off, First off, you just sent me a picture

18
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: of you sitting in a chair leather chair, leather recliners,

19
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: smoking a cigar, wearing a shirt that says, uh, I

20
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: smoked cigars and no things. And you got that from

21
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: who did you get that from I got that from

22
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: my a podcast listener. I believe you described them as

23
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: one of your fans before we came out. Wow, okay,

24
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: he was a fan. He was actually Oh my gosh,

25
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm giddy. This is going to be such a good show.

26
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: I cannot believe it. We have so much stuff that

27
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: is so good about Scooch. Um, can I can I

28
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: share this on Twitter? Can I share this picture on Twitter?

29
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna share this on Twitter. We're gonna

00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: share with everybody on Twitter. We're gonna share it from

Speaker 1: Chad Melman handle. That's how much people want to see

33
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: this picture. Second, this is hugely important, scooch. This is

34
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: a surprise for you. We're gonna introduce a new feature

35

00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: you when you call that number, will be given a

39
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: little bit of a treat when the line picks up.

40
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: And then you're gonna leave us a voicemail and you're

41
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: going to give us your favorite bet for the week

42
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: and Scooch and I are going to weigh in on

43
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: whether or not we think it's a good idea. It's

44
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: like our own little version of Dear Abbey, right. I

45
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: like that. I like that a lot. We get to

46
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: be the advice givers. You know why we smoke cigars

47
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: and no things. That's what we do. And again two

48
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: zero three eight nine six six four seven call that number,

49
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: leave us a voicemail. We are going to play it

50
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: on the air and then we're going to critique. You're

51
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: bet we will criticize and hopefully we'll enjoy it, but

52
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: if not, you're gonna get made fun of. Scooch. Today

53
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: is the trade deadline in UM the NFL. I want

54
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: to play a clip from last week. I know that

55
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: the Saints are going to get real aggressive before the deadline,

56
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: and we I think we talked a little bit about

57
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: them before we came on the air. So interesting team,

58
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: You and I may have some difference of opinions on them,

59
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: but uh, it's why do you say you know? Why

60
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: do you say you know they're going to get aggressive?

61
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: What do you what do you like? Tapped in? You've

62
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: got a source, We got sources? Yeah, exactly what do

63
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, what do you know? No, they're making they're

64
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: making plays for certain personnel that are unhappy with their

65
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: current teams. And uh and they're one of the you

66
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: know from just from what we've heard, them and the

67
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: Eagles are both trying to get some of the same personnel. Scooch. Yeah,

68
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: honest to god, we're back live now. Um, what what

69
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: did you know? Because after the podcast, the Saints made

70
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: a trade for a player who was unhappy on his

71
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: team in Eli Apple, and meanwhile the Eagles made a

72
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: trade for Golden Tate. So listen, listen. Yeah, you don't

73
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: tell me your sources, Okay, but I do need to know.

74
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: Were you talking about Eli Apple? Yeah? You were, of course.

75
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: How did you know? Nobody knew that that wasn't in

76
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 1: the public domain. We were dialed in, we got we

00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: you knew that we heard, I mean, we didn't know,

80
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: but you heard the Giants were gonna give it to

81
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: the Eli Apple and the Eagles and the Saints were

82
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: going for him. Yeah, what do you want? We I mean,

83
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: we got we got we We we have a network

84
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: of people that try to be as dialed in as

85
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: they can. And you know now now is uh sports

86
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: betting is getting approved and every state we're probably gonna

87
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: hear a lot more rumor you know, whether they pan

88
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: out or not is another story. How does this work?

89
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: How does it work? Like? I know how it works

90
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: with Chefty Um Like chef he's got eight phones and

91
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,160

92
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: texting everywhere, like and he's brilliant at it. How does

93
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: it work for Scooch? Does someone called the Bowling Alley

94
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: and be like, listen someone, someone get a message to Scooch?

95
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: Eli apples on the market. Is that how it goes? Like?

96
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: What happens? Yeah? From the bowling Alley upstairs? They put

97
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: it in one of those little tubes and they shoot

98
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: it down into my like aneumatic tube and they and

99
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: then they more they put it in like Morse code

100
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: or something. How does it work? Tell me what happens?

101
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: How we've known each other for Scooch, we've known each

102
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: other for twenty years. We've never talked about this. Well,

103
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: we rely, I mean we rely on a lot of

104
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: consultants that are out there that are talking with a

105
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: lot of people around the country, and uh, sometimes they

106
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: give us bad information that doesn't pan out, and they'll

107
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: just tell us watch out for this game or watch

108
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: out for this game. Especially around around trade season, they'll

109
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: just be talking about certain teams that, uh, you know,

110
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: we're looking to make some some personnel changes, and they

111
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: just as a consultant, they want us to just be

112
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 1: on high alert to be quick to move a line

113
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: on a particular game. So, um, you know, when we

114
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: get like I said, well, we'll move the lines, even

115
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: on on rumors and even if they don't pan out

116
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: to be true. I am just so impressed with your

117
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: connections and your network and the fact that you have

118
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: kept this quiet for so long. Yeah, what else can

119
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: you tell me? What's Facebook? See? I wish I was

120
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: dialed into the market. That's not it's not doing too

121
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: well for me right now. Would you rather or of

122
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: these three things? What would you rather be dialed into?

123
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: A pipeline to Cuban cigars? What's happening in sports trading rumors?

124
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: Or the stock market? Oh? The stock market, Okay, I've

125
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: already got the pipeline to the Cuban cigars. So it's

126
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: just between that and there's that in the sports. I

127
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: feel like Scooch, I've done all that I can to

128
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: lift your profile and turn you into a national phenomenon.

129
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: And what I've gotten out of this is being told

130
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: I didn't write a book that I wrote, that I'm

131
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: the lesser of the podcast hosts and not a single cigar.

132
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: I didn't know you even I don't, but it's nice

133
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: to be offered, all right, or or you don't even

134
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: give me inside info when you're getting it. I gave

135
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: it to everybody mm hmm. Then we talked about it

136
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: last week. We did We didn't really say anything. You

137
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: just sort of what you did was intimate, like ha ha,

138
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: I know things you don't speaking speaking of ha ha.

139
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: What what are you laughing at? Do you think I'm

140
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: gonna say something about ha ha? Clinton? Dick's getting no

141
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: no sometimes and I just wanna Sometimes it comes back

142
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: to to to bite you. Sometimes you think you have

143
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 1: the right information, it turns out to be wrong, and

144
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: you move a line and you get crushed. How are

145
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: things going for you the past couple of weeks? Like

146
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: I was three and three this weekend in the last minute,

147
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: I bet the Giants and I shouldn't have done it.

148
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: Big mistake. Yeah it was. Last week was almost a

149
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: repeat of the week before. It was almost like deja

150
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: vu all over again, all the uh starting with the

151
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: game in London, losing that one, and then just kind

152
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: of rolling right into the morning games where all of

153
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: them looked like we were kind of sweeping the board

154
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: at halftime if we could just stop the game at halftimes.

155
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: We were doing pretty well on a lot of the

156
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: big decisions. Uh and then it just everything fell apart.

157
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: You know that the Jets were kind of hanging in

158
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: there with with the Bears. That was a big game.

159
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: Um the uh, well, Denver ended up covering Force. That

160
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: was the back door with Denver actually saved our our day.

161
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: That was one of the few wins we had. But uh,

162
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: Cleveland was kind of hanging in there with Pittsburgh for

163
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: a while in the first half, and it looked like

164
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: we were gonna have a decent day and then just

165
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: everything fell apart. And uh So, like I said, kind

166
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: of a replay of the week before. Two bad weeks

167
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: in a row. And now this week is a short

168
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: schedule with with six teams on a buy uh. Sometimes

169
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: that works against us because there's just more concentration on

170
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: some of the profile games and you don't have a

171
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: whole lot of other games to bail you out. It's just,

172
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, sink or swim with just one or two

173
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: big decisions. We're recording this on Tuesday evening, East Coast time.

174
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: Last night, the Patriots back door to the Bills UH

175
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: pick six final three and a half minutes. They ended

176
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: up winning by nineteen. I was on the Patriots at

177
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: minus thirteen and a half. I never do it, um,

178
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: but my Action Network colleague and Favorites podcast co host

179
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: for the Friday podcast, black Jack Fletcher, was insistent that

180
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: we take the Patriots um, and like when it got

181
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarters twelve six, I texted him, I'm like,

182
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: you fucker, I cannot believe you convinced me to do this,

183
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: And now I gotta sweat this game when I'm really

184
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: tired and I kind of want to go to sleep. Yeah,

185
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: And I was kind of in the same boat from

186
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: the bookmaking side of it, because I went to fourteen

187
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: and a half early in the day and the phone's

188
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: just lit up with all the the sharp guys in

189
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: town taking the plus four teen and a half. It

190
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: was just like a Christmas tree. The whole screen just

191
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: went bang and everybody was taking the fourteen and a

192
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: half and then like you like, all the way up

193
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: until the fourth courter, I was like, man, why did

194
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: I go to fourteen and a half? I took so

195
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: much money back that, you know, it could have just

196
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: locked it all up. And then I know it was

197
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: Derrick Anderson, but it was a Peterman pick six, Peterman

198
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: pick six when Peterman, when Peterman uh came out came on.

199
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean, this is my perspective on life. I was thinking,

200
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: oh my god, I've nicknamed him Nathan pick six, and

201
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: this is when he's going to spite me. Like somehow

202
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: in here hermic wave that drifts from you know, Manhattan

203
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: to Buffalo, Nathan Peterman somehow heard that I have defined

204
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: him as uh, the pick six king, and he's going

205
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: to throw a backdoor cover touchdown. Then I realized it

206
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: was Nathan Peterman, and I really didn't have anything to

207
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: worry about it. I was actually rooting the opposite. I

208
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: was actually hoping he would throw a second pick six

209
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: to at least kill some of the teasers on Buffalo.

210
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: What was the teaser six point teaser to like like

211
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: twenty you know between Um, I mean, there weren't much.

212
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously most of the teasers were teasing the

213
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: Patriots down to seven. But it was a morsel of

214
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: something to kind of hold onto it. You could have won, yeah,

215
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: when you otherwise wouldn't have all the genius bookmaking you

216
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: did to lose less than you possibly could have. There

217
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: was a couple of moves we made. I was kind of,

218
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, proud of that. They won't show up in

219
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: the box score, so to speak, intangibles. Give me, give

220
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: me an example of the move you made that you're like, yeah, right, well,

221
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Eagles of the night before the game

222
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: in London, I went first to go to four and

223
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 1: a half and then five and Um. So that one.

224
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: That was another one where I thought I made the

225
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: wrong move and turned out to be okay. Um, just

226
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: a couple of games like that where I would just

227
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: move an extra point point and a half. Um, kind

228
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: of just turned out to be a little little extra

229
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: money on from from the wise guys, when they see

230
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: a good number like that, you're the best bookmaker in

231
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: the history of bookmaker. Yeah, I would put you on

232
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: a mount rush more of bookmakers. Well, I appreciate that

233
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: you've earned it. Look at all you've done for the industry,

234
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: podcasting legend. You've written a book. Yeah, signed a lot

235
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: of books this week? Actually did? I told him I've

236
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: given a Yeah. I love that for you. I don't

237
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: really sign any books anymore. Um, let's get to some games, man. Okay,

238
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: let's also remark let's remind only thirteen games this week.

239
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: Let's remind people two zero, three, eight, nine six seven

240
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: leave us a voicemail. If we don't get voicemails, Scooch

241
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: is going to be upset. You don't want to make

242
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: Scooch upset. Bears minus nine and a half at the

243
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman's We keep creeping up on this man, oh man,

244
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: why are you doing this to me? Go ahead, I

245
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: gotta bet the Buffalo Bills as what's gonna end up

246
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: being ten or eleven point dogs at home against Chicago Bears.

247
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: I can't do that. You and two other people there's

248
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: we've got no money on the bills whatsoever right now.

249
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: I would imagine, but you're not getting wise guy money

250
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: on the Bears. Are you No, it's all public and uh,

251
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: it's just a huge percentage, a huge ratio, and like

252
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: you said, it's just gonna keep creeping up. Um yeah,

253
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: we'll we'll move this to ten eventually. I just wanted

254
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: to see if if we'd get any takers at nine

255
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: nine and a half. It's actually moving as we speak. So, um, yeah,

256
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: that do it? Should we do it? Not? No, not,

257
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: we're not doing it. But I see I see a

258
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: lot of people coming up fifteen. Well, I want to

259
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: see if I, uh tenant ten is? Yeah, what I am,

260
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: my wife, I'm going to go to ten. You're right

261
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: right now, come on bank there it is. I'll let

262
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: you know if I get any uh any money back.

263
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: I like that. I mean, look, you're not gonna get

264
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: any money. Like you can put this thing at thirty.

265
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: I would like to see, like you should test it.

266
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: Put it at thirty, see if you get any bets,

267
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: and then just immediately move it down you down like

268
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: my Okay. So there's a story with my my big Tony,

269
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: my boss big Tony, right, a few years a few

270
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: years back, the Giants were thirteen point dogs against the Cowboys,

271
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: and he called me up and He's like, what do

272
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: you have the line on that? And I said thirteen.

273
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 1: He goes, thirteen, that's not enough. The Cowboys are gonna

274
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 1: win by twenty and we uh so I said, all right,

275
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: I moved it up another half a point, actually a

276
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: full point. I went up to fourteen and just took

277
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: about eight hundred thousand dollars back real quick. And uh,

278
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: the Giants beat the Cowboys straight up that week, and

279
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 1: he calls me. He calls me up, He's like, how

280
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: do we do I said, I could have done a

281
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: lot better if I didn't move the Cowboys up to fourteen,

282
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: and we took all his money back on the on

283
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: the Giants. And he says, well, you know better than

284
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: to listen to me. That's not right. You can't do that.

285
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: I can't do that. You can't do that, Big Tony.

286
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: You know better than that. Interesting game in the Bay Area.

287
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: Oakland is a three point dog at San Francisco. Huh so, yeah,

288
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: I mean too, well, the two wins between them, and uh,

289
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: somebody's somebody's got to win this one. Hopefully, what's this

290
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: will probably be the uh, the most exciting game on

291
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: the board. Uh. Afterwards, we'll look back and say, of

292
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: all the games, this was the one that you least

293
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: expect is probably the one that's going to turn out

294
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: to be the most exciting. So uh yeah, just a

295
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: battle of real bad teams that are on the downward spiral.

296
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: And this is the time of the year. You know,

297
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: you get into kind of week eight, week nine. Uh,

298
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: a lot of these teams are kind of giving up

299
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: on the season and uh they're they've got organizational problems,

300
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: kind of like the Browns and uh, the Raiders are

301
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: one of those teams that, uh, you know, we talked

302
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: about him last week, unloading all of their best personnel.

303
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: So it's kind of that time of the year when

304
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: the bad teams get worse and they and they and

305
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: they continue to get worse before they kind of make

306
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of a resurgence before the end of

307
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: the year. Um, and the odds makers are struggling adjusting

308
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: them down each week, and then you get to that

309
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: one point where they seem to surprise everybody because we've

310
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: over adjusted every all these bad teams. But in the meantime,

311
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: we've got to suffer through a few bad weeks. Luckily,

312
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: the bad teams are playing each other and the good

313
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: teams are playing each other this week that might bal

314
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: us out. So what's interesting is um, I mean these

315
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: teams are both are both just train wreck dumpster fires.

316
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: But um, I think it could be an interesting game.

317
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: Ticket counts. The Niners defense is so bad, the Raiders

318
00:19:52,320 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: have some offensive weapons. Um it's just like this be competitive. Yeah,

319
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: there was another game last week where Oakland looked like

320
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: they were gonna hang in there with Indianapolis, and they

321
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: showed a lot of signs of life. I think there's

322
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: more value on the Raiders here than there are on

323
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: the Niners. With the three points, we saw a couple

324
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: of plays from some pretty good handicappers that that that

325
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: consistently do pretty well. They weren't real large dollar amounts,

326
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: but they were just a little taste at plus three. UM.

327
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 1: I know some places were at three and a half

328
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: at one point, so that even more value there. But

329
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: like I was saying, the ticket accounts fairly even though

330
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: just a couple of couple of big bets on the Raiders.

331
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: That's the Thursday night game. By the way, I skipped

332
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: it by accident. I meant to I'm necessary with that one.

333
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 1: UM I thought there was a means to your madness.

334
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: There just a mistake. It happens, happens the best of us,

335
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: not you, but me, Carolina. They are a touchdown favorite,

336
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: seven points touched on and an extra point, which is

337
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: not a insignificant thing these days. Um against Tampa Bay, Well,

338
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: you know in Tampa Bay another team where I haven't

339
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 1: found the identity yet with the with the quarterback going

340
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: back and forth, and um, I'll call him by the

341
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: right name this week, Fitzpatrick. And uh, what did you

342
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: do last Yeah? Did I talk about the girl I

343
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: dated in college name Megan Fitzgerald? You did? That's And

344
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: I got a couple of comments actually from people that

345
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: knew about the casino. Fitzgerald's here that we're listening to

346
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: the podcast, and you're saying, hey, I like the reference

347
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: last week to Fitzgerald's casino. Like, honest to god, Scrooge,

348
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: you're not on Twitter. People can't find your email. Nobody

349
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: emails me or tweets anything to me about the podcast.

350
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: You get comments from like Carrier Pigeon and the Newmatic

351
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: Tube coming down from up in the bowling alley. It's

352
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: kind of ridiculous. Yeah, it makes me upset. But but

353
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: getting back to the game. Uh, yeah, it's one of

354
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: those teams that, uh, that are still struggling with obviously

355
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: their their quarterback position. You don't did you did you

356
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: adjust aligne it all for um Ryan Fitzgerald. We did

357
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: just a half a point, but it was it was

358
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: on the high side anyway. So here's like I was

359
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: saying that a situation where the Panthers looked pretty good. Uh,

360
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: one of the teams that doesn't get a lot of respect,

361
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: but the little recency buyas they look look good last

362
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: week and surprised a lot of people. So that's going

363
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: to carry over into this week where uh, just the

364
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: kind of uncertainty and inconsistency with the Buccaneers is not

365
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: gonna turn on any of the better. So uh, it's

366
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: just gonna be about a five or six to one

367
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: ratio of Panther money to Buccaneers. So I could see

368
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: this kind of creeping up to seven by the by

369
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: the end of the week. Kansas City is a nine

370
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite on the road against the

371
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns, who have lost both their head coach and

372
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator. Yeah, Brown started out the year playing

373
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: competitive and uh, you know, finding out now that there

374
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: was all this turmoil and in the locker room and

375
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,199
Speaker 1: uh and with the coaching staff, and UH kind of

376
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: makes sense because there was a sudden just kind of

377
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: a shift in a team that we're big underdogs, but

378
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: they played very competitive and in the last couple of

379
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: weeks we just weren't seeing that. And UM, it's tough

380
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: to handicap the response of the team after uh, you know,

381
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: losing a head coach, offensive coordinator. UH, it just depends

382
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 1: on circumstances whether they wanted to see that change and

383
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: maybe that uh motivates them a little bit. But I

384
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: did see some statistics out there that over the over

385
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: the years, every time the Browns fire head coach, they

386
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: come out I think they're oh and nine the week

387
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: after the week after they fire a head coach. I

388
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: know we're going back a lot of years. The Browns

389
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: aren't going to be the Browns. The percentages and the

390
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: Browns being oh in anything the week after summer high

391
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: versus one and something. I agree, the week after I

392
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: opened a coke the Browns or oh and thirty two,

393
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: the week after your wife walks into your office while

394
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: you're recording a podcast. The Browns have historically been losers

395
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: against the spread exactly, so this is gonna be another

396
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,239
Speaker 1: week where they're gonna lose. Uh. We are getting a

397
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 1: little bit of money, uh on the Browns at plus

398
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: nine and a half, but not nearly enough to offset

399
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: all the all the public money. It's just it was

400
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: just kind of again, one small bet from a couple

401
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: of guys that fairly do fairly well and usually bet

402
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: dogs home dogs. Uh. Boy, this one's gonna be ugly though.

403
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna need the Browns in the worst way for

404
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: your lungs. I'm gonna need him for our lungs. I

405
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: love this next game. I love it. Love it. Washington

406
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: Redskins minus one and a half at home against the

407
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. I think I think you've hung a crooked

408
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: line here, buddy. I think you are gonna get smoked.

409
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: So it's funny because I've made kind of higher on

410
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: the Falcons throughout most of the beginning of the year

411
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: than I probably should have been, and then we had

412
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: to make some adjustments, and now I think we are

413
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: in a situation where there's probably a little more value

414
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: on the on the Falcons, but just judging by the

415
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: money and the ticket account I think we nailed it.

416
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: I mean that, I think people look at this game

417
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: and they're the points spread isn't gonna change their decision

418
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: on who they want to bet. You know, they're gonna

419
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: look at this game other games where you're not quite

420
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: sure who's gonna win the game, but the points will

421
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: say I'll take three and a half or I'll take three. Um,

422
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: we're only talking about one one and a half points here. Um,

423
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be dead even in terms

424
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: of money. Listen, the Restkings are gonna win this game.

425
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: They're gonna cover. You're gonna get slammed. Miami is a

426
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: three point favorite at home against the Jets. Hardly any

427
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: action on this one, but I think, uh, three is

428
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: that the right number on this one to kind of

429
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: teams that looked a lot better at the beginning of

430
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: the season and they're kind of coming back down to reality,

431
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: and a lot of the betters have jumped off both teams.

432
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: So when you have two teams that neither that that

433
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: the public doesn't want to bet either one of them,

434
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: we just we get no action. But we'll probably end

435
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: up needing the Jets for a little bit only because

436
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: Miami is the favorite, but it's gonna be probably the

437
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:13,239
Speaker 1: corner TV game. By the sounds of it, those are

438
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: the only teams that are getting no action, if you

439
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Yeah, do you get it? I do,

440
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: making a reference to Okay, I got you. I love

441
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: this next game, Baltimore Ravens minus three at home against

442
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Oh my goodness, are the Baltimore Ravens

443
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 1: undervalued as the home favorite in this game? Give me

444
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 1: the Ravens? Yeah? So um, I mean, the public's all

445
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 1: over Pittsburgh in this one of my I mean every

446
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: time these two teams play, even though we talked about

447
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: the last time they played, you just automatically make the

448
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: home team three point favorites and then the public will

449
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: take the underdog in this series. It's just automatic. And

450
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: we we've seen it over the last few years, and

451
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 1: we did. We hung three. The public overwhelmingly was on

452
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: the Steelers and I I went to two and a

453
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: half just to test the waters and I got hit immediately.

454
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 1: So I think the sharp guys, given the opportunity, would

455
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: rather lay the two and a half. To me, they've

456
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: already tipped their hand on this one because of how quickly.

457
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 1: They bet it as soon as I went to two

458
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: and a half. So, um, I think if you see

459
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: a two and a half and you like Baltimore, you

460
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: should grab it because I think it'll I think they'll

461
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: be on your side come game day and you might

462
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: see three three minus twenty. But the public is just

463
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: they're back in love with the Steelers now. So it's

464
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: about an eight to one, ten to one ratio just

465
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: on tickets Steelers to Ravens. But the big money seems

466
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: to be on the Ravens. Does Uh the Vike's killed

467
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: me last week? That was my scootroo we pick. Yeah,

468
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: that was a that was a tough one, really hard.

469
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm distracted for a second cause I'm thinking

470
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: about the trade deadline that was today. Um, the Bill

471
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: signed Terrell Prior, maybe he's gonna play quarterback. Nothing in

472
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: the Raiders, Niners. Nothing in the Panthers box, nothing in

473
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Browns ha ha, Clinton Dicks traded the to

474
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: the Redskins. That didn't have an effect on the line

475
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: for you. New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, nothing, Pittsburgh Steelers,

476
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, nothing, Detroit Minnesota nothing, l a Chargers. Uh

477
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: they are two point dogs at Seattle. Listen, you know

478
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: I love to bet home dogs, I mean short home

479
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: favorites and short favorite. This Chargers team is wickedly underrated.

480
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: They are um but I think Melvin Gordon's questionable on

481
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: this one. Okay, So that's the only And actually I

482
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: kind of kind of favor the Seahawks here, and I'm

483
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: kind of drawing trying to draw a little Charger money.

484
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 1: So I would normally agree with you, but in this situation,

485
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm actually, uh, I'm actually favorite in Seattle. Why do

486
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,239
Speaker 1: you favorite Seahawks just because of the injury? You think

487
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: they're a better team, you think they're not value. You're

488
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: making a bet, your bookmaker making a bet. Well, you know,

489
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: we're trying to just judge on where we think the

490
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: money is going to go on this one. But if

491
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, that's where we start from. But if I'm

492
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: actually favoring a team, I want to be a little

493
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: bit higher on the Seahawks here at home. Think situationally,

494
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: it's more of the right place. And you said it

495
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: yourself just a minute ago that you normally favor these

496
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: short home favorites, but you just are that high on

497
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: the Chargers. So it's more of your kind of uh

498
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: bias on the Chargers themselves rather than the situation. And

499
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm kind of going on the situation. Okay. The next

500
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: game is the Demerius Thomas bull because the Denver Broncos

501
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: have traded to Marius Thomas to the Houston Texans of

502
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl ticket fame. Uh de Marius Thomas is

503
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: not going to have an impact on the points bread

504
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: but it's interesting to me that this game is at pick. Yeah.

505
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: So the line did move places, uh after the Demerius

506
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: Thomas trade, but I we moved it prior to that.

507
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: Just when when when we made the line, were just

508
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: kind of like I talked about it before last week,

509
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: how after you put all the lines out, sometimes you

510
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: miss one and you go back to it and it's

511
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: just kind of just looks wrong based on where the

512
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: public is going to be, uh you know place in

513
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: their bets. You just kind of know that at that number,

514
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: you're just gonna be buried on one particular side. And

515
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: at two and a half three on the Broncos, which

516
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: is some of the early lines that were being put

517
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: out there, it was just inviting Texans money. And I

518
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: don't think you can give the Texans three points even

519
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: in uh, even in Denver. So we started seeing this

520
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: line move, and I know that a lot of it's

521
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: going to be attributed to the trade, but like you said,

522
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: it really isn't. This line was moving anyway. Uh. I

523
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: feel like there's a couple of games. So you know,

524
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: I've been the last few weeks. I've bet early in

525
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 1: the week and I've lost the best of the number

526
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: on some games, and so I've been trying to hold

527
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: my powder a little bit, and I think it's cost

528
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: me because like I would have bet the Texans plus

529
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: three the next game. Um, I probably would have bet.

530
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: Now I still may end at beating the charters. I

531
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: like where the Redskins are going. I'm probably gonna bet

532
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: that game. Um you mean you like that. I thought

533
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: you said you like the Falcons in that one. I

534
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: like the Redskins. Okay, I like the Ravens and minus

535
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: three some games that I like here like the Ravens.

536
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: I like the Redskins. Uh. I like I like I'm

537
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: gonna like Houston. I like it a lot. Um. I

538
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: mean the next game, forget about it. The next name

539
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: I didn't get the best of the number. Because the

540
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: Saints open as one point dogs. Now they are one

541
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. Uh. The majority of the

542
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: tickets are coming in on the Rams, but the majority

543
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: of the money is coming in on the Saints. Uh.

544
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 1: It means to me you're getting some wise guy money

545
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: a little bit, and but I think some of it's. Uh,

546
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,479
Speaker 1: We're not overwhelmingly lopsided on the on the Rams. As

547
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, this is pretty even, at least

548
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: in in our sports books. And I think kind of

549
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: the secrets out a little bit on this matchup. In

550
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: terms of the line, I think people were hoping to

551
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: get the Saints at plus two and a half plus three.

552
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: I know a lot of early lines out there a

553
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks back, when you have some of the

554
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: marquee matchups and you have some look aheadlines. I've seen

555
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: the Rams were as high as three. And I was

556
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: actually hoping that the Vikings would have beaten the Saints

557
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: last week. I know you hoped for too, for other

558
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: reasons because he had a bet on him, but I

559
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: was kind of hoping that the Vikings would beat the

560
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: Saints last week and then the Ram Rams would open

561
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: up about a two and a half point favorite. Everybody

562
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 1: would bet the Rams and then the Saints would win

563
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:14,479
Speaker 1: this one. So but now I feel like everyone feel

564
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: felt that the Saints are gonna win this one to

565
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: begin with, and uh, I might have to reverse myself

566
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: and go go with the Rams on this one. Um,

567
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: It's just, I mean, there's nothing. This is just a

568
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: great game and a great matchup. Is one of the

569
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: biggest most anticipated games of the year so far, just

570
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: based on the performance of both teams and how how

571
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: well they're playing of late. Uh, So, I mean it,

572
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: it's just basically a pick hum game. The point spread

573
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: really shouldn't come into play, um, and I can't see

574
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: it reaching three on either side. So um, it's basically

575
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: a coin flip. I'm gonna bet the Saints. I mean there,

576
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: it's it fits your profile of a short home favorite

577
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: and h again, like kind of what I was saying

578
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: about the Seahawks in a situational game. I said it

579
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: last week that the Saints this was the kind of

580
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: game that you know the would deal the Rams their

581
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: first loss. Um. But uh, I just I mean, to me,

582
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: the most interesting thing on this is the total. It's

583
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: the first sixty. We've seen in my god years, it's

584
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: been years since we've opened a game sixty. But I

585
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: guess that's just kind of where we're headed in the

586
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,920
Speaker 1: NFL and and the scoring now, especially with these two teams.

587
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: I feel like it would be fun to create um

588
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: better profiles for things like Tinder and like my profile

589
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 1: would be likes short home favorites, likes home dogs, likes

590
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: to bet against the market, you know what I mean,

591
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: And then I put a picture of me, like because

592
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: it could put a picture of me with a Cuban cigar.

593
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: You should. Actually, that's a great feature, some cash money,

594
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,959
Speaker 1: and then you could add you know, you can add

595
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: certain things. We should do that in the app, Like

596
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 1: we should sort of give people like, oh my god.

597
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: You know. On Monday we did the podcast and I

598
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: had an epiphany that we could turn in this podcast

599
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: into musical. Today I'm thinking of features for the app. Yeah,

600
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: I like features for the app. That's a that's a

601
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 1: good let's go down that road more than the musical.

602
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm a font of creativity. Nobody's going to write a

603
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: book about me. Scooch uh Green Bay, New England, Oinarly. Yeah,

604
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: great matchup when we're at minus six, so it opened seven.

605
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: So the money has been coming in on Green Bay.

606
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: Is that wise guy money? Uh? Yeah, that was because

607
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: the publics on the Patriots and uh, and they will

608
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: be right up until game time and Sunday night game

609
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:16,439
Speaker 1: another high profile game. UM. I mean luckily the we'll

610
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 1: we'll get the Packers draw such a following that it

611
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: won't be as lopsided as some of the other matchups

612
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: we've seen, or like kind of like the Patriots bills, um,

613
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: at least with the Packers were it's a it's a

614
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 1: very live dog and the professional handicappers have already indicated that.

615
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 1: So it's not the worst thing needing the Packers especially,

616
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: it's just wondering how they're gonna respond after, um, the

617
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 1: way that they lost that game against uh, the Rams

618
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: last week and um just kind of the the internal

619
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: kind of fighting a little, all the the heat between

620
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 1: time Montgomery and coaching staff and Rogers and yeah yeah

621
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 1: fumble ones lose the ball, you are out yep. So

622
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: so how do they respond to that lost last week?

623
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: If they if it kind of drove him put a

624
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: little fire in the belly, Uh, then then I like

625
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: him as a six point dog even against the Patriots,

626
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: not that I would play them, because we know that

627
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: history kind of that. One of the things you would

628
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: like on the app is don't bet against Brady and Belichick. Right,

629
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,000
Speaker 1: we do that if you ever went to the app,

630
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: it's just like a permanent banner. Read the story at

631
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 1: your own peril, but never bet against the Patriots. Yeah,

632
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: big red ex permanent condition. Yeah, it's like a feature.

633
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:46,240
Speaker 1: Uh all right, last game, Dallas Cowboys. This is stupid.

634
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: You guys are dumb. This is the Cowboys. What are they?

635
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: Six and a half? Six point favorite with the Tennessee Titans.

636
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: Have you not learned your lesson? What are you doing? What?

637
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: How do you get that number? That is crazy? The

638
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans are going to cover this game. They might be,

639
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: they might win this game. So we opened four. By

640
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: the way you did, Yeah we got steamed on a Cowboys.

641
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: Get what I said? Then? Who steamed? You wise guys?

642
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: This is all professor professional play. So we're up to

643
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: six and a half. I hope there. I hope. I

644
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: hope you're right. I hope they did it to like

645
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: push the number up because they were really just excited

646
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: about the Titans that I hope you're right with that too,

647
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: because it's one of the few games that the public

648
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: and the sharp guys are on the same side. So

649
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,240
Speaker 1: losing this one, especially with a Monday night game, especially

650
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: if it turns out to be a week like the

651
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: last two weeks were all the favorites win rolling into

652
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: the Monday night game, this one could get ugly real fast,

653
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: really fast. So we thought we made the right number.

654
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: And apparently from what you're saying, it's not the worst thing.

655
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: Needing the Titans plus plus the points you were gonna

656
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: want the Titans in this game. You're gonna want the

657
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: Titans a big time because they're gonna win this game. Well,

658
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: maybe I'll cover this game. You know it's gonna be

659
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 1: great though. Next week, scooch um. Next week we're gonna read,

662
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: we can give them this kind of advice, like don't

663
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: bet the Patriots, or yeah, definitely bet the Titans on
