Speaker 2: Welcome back in What's Right with Nick Wright Episode one
Speaker 2: eighty seven. Let's get right into it today because the
Speaker 2: gambling portion of the show, we need some time, because
Speaker 2: we need a gambling exorcism. I for six consecutive weeks
Speaker 2: have either gone two and three or three and two demands,
Speaker 2: on the other hand, has not hit a teaser since
Speaker 2: before his sister went off to college. That's a true story.
Speaker 2: So for all these reasons, we've got to get it together.
Speaker 2: We simply must get it together and salt in the
Speaker 2: gambling wound. For the second time this year. I went
Speaker 2: two and three on these picks on the podcast, and
Speaker 2: then the three of the five picks from the podcast
Speaker 2: that I used on television were the three losers. So
Speaker 2: for the second time this year, I went zero and
Speaker 2: three on television after going actually two and three on
Speaker 2: my actual on my full five picks, because I picked
Speaker 2: the wrong three. It's a bad spot pack, It's a
Speaker 2: bad spot man, and we'll get into it. Two of
Speaker 2: the losses this week were utterly painful. I was on
Speaker 2: the right side of the bet, the process was correct,
Speaker 2: and I got just screwed one of them. I was
Speaker 2: just outright wrong on two. But I really, the more
Speaker 2: I think about it, I got four out of five
Speaker 2: right this week, which does make me feel like I'm
Speaker 2: turning this thing around. The one, unfortunately, the one that
Speaker 2: I got dead ass wrong was the one that Demanse
Speaker 2: then teased, and I got it so wrong it also
Speaker 2: killed his teaser. It's just it just hasn't you know.
Speaker 2: What sometimes makes me feel better when we're in these
Speaker 2: kind of you know, season mid season gambling swoons is
Speaker 2: looking at our preseason NFL futures and see how we're doing,
Speaker 2: how we're looking. Let's do that right now, actually, before
Speaker 2: we get into the actual show, Okay, let's look at
Speaker 2: our season win total bets and how we're doing. First one,
Speaker 2: Bears under seven and a half, and I put we
Speaker 2: love this bet and all caps at even money. That
Speaker 2: one is essentially locked in already, right that one, you
Speaker 2: can it's almost mathematically locked in. But they're not getting
Speaker 2: to eight wins Cowboys. If you remember, the total was
Speaker 2: nine and a half. We then said, instead of doing
Speaker 2: nine and a half at minus one sixty, let's do
Speaker 2: ten and a half at plus one point fifteen and
Speaker 2: take the over. That one right now is obviously far
Speaker 2: from locked, but is a favorite. The Jags similar situation,
Speaker 2: we had over nine and a half at minus one
Speaker 2: forty Instead we did over ten and a half at
Speaker 2: plus one forty five. That looks great. The Chiefs over
Speaker 2: eleven and a half at minus one thirty four. That
Speaker 2: one is also a huge favorite. The Patriots over seven
Speaker 2: and a half was a disaster. That one is an
Speaker 2: outright disaster. The Eagles under eleven and a half is
Speaker 2: an underdog but is not dead yet given what schedule
Speaker 2: they have coming up. The forty nine Ers under ten
Speaker 2: and a half is in real trouble, and the Seahawks
Speaker 2: over eight and a half right now is a favorite.
Speaker 2: So right now we have we're looking like we're going
Speaker 2: to go either five and three or six and two
Speaker 2: on our season win totals, so we feel good about
Speaker 2: that part of it. Our If you remember, we did
Speaker 2: three long shot division winner bets at plus three hundred
Speaker 2: to plus five hundred on the Dolphins now the favorite.
Speaker 2: The Steelers right now in first place, even though they're
Speaker 2: not the favorite. Oh I'm sorry, a half game back
Speaker 2: of Baltimore and the falcon and the Packers they're screwed,
Speaker 2: so that one looks good. A Jags Chiefs two unit
Speaker 2: bet for them both to win their division that could
Speaker 2: that looks great. I'm feeling better already. I really am
Speaker 2: already feeling better.
Speaker 3: What that bron party has performed way better than you
Speaker 3: thought he was going to.
Speaker 2: Why Because I had the Niners under.
Speaker 3: Ten then ten and a half, yeah, and the Seahawks
Speaker 3: winning that division well, or that I thought they would.
Speaker 2: They would suffer multiple injuries because of the style of
Speaker 2: football they play like they do every single year, and that,
Speaker 2: unfortunately might have started this past week. But all right,
Speaker 2: I feel better. I feel like we've got the gambling
Speaker 2: juju flowing in the right direction. Now, I I it
Speaker 2: makes me feel like we had our finger on the
Speaker 2: pulse of the season. We've just gotten unlucky, as we
Speaker 2: will discuss. We've had a few bad picks, but a
Speaker 2: lot of bad luck. We'll get into all that in
Speaker 2: the B block. If this sounds like what the kids
Speaker 2: call cope, it might be. But we're going five to
Speaker 2: oh this week. All right, here's what missed the cut
Speaker 2: in today's show. Christian McCaffrey thankfully avoids major injury. Parsons
Speaker 2: and Hill are interested in flag football at the Olympics,
Speaker 2: and shout out. Speaking of winning bets, shout out to
Speaker 2: Las Vegas Aces and my season long futures bet on
Speaker 2: the Aces winning the title. They could have set that
Speaker 2: thing at minus four hundred and I would have bet it.
Speaker 2: The Ace has won the championship last night with two
Speaker 2: of their starters out here in New York City. The
Speaker 2: Ace is one of the best WNBA teams ever. I mean,
Speaker 2: the Liberty is a damn good team and they were
Speaker 2: not in the Aces League. Over the course of this series,
Speaker 2: the Ace is winning four. All right, let's get to
Speaker 2: tonight's game, demanse.
Speaker 3: All right, So The Jags are playing the Saints tonight,
Speaker 3: and Trevor's not looking clear if he's gonna play or not.
Speaker 3: I've heard that there was speculation that he wasn't gonna play,
Speaker 3: but it seems like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna be a game time decision. YEP, game
Speaker 2: time decision. You've been for the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've been super high on Trevor Lawrence for I
Speaker 3: don't know how long he's been. Not good, not terrible.
Speaker 3: He's got three inchred passing yards, eight touchdowns, six turnovers
Speaker 3: so far four His four and two record can't matter.
Speaker 3: If Brock parties, five and one record doesn't matter. So
Speaker 3: are you still going to defend this guy off of
Speaker 3: stuff that he's done in like middle school and pee
Speaker 3: weee football in his high school career?
Speaker 2: What do you people see? Hold on? I gotta ask
Speaker 2: you an honest question, Deman say, is this actually how
Speaker 2: you feel? Or the producers just trying to set you
Speaker 2: up to try to needle me and get under my
Speaker 2: skin because they think the podcast is better when I'm angry?
Speaker 2: Do you are you? Are you a Trevor Lawrence skeptic?
Speaker 3: I'm not a Trevor Lawrence skeptic? But I do think that,
Speaker 3: like the whole pedigree thing that you're saying with the Bronx,
Speaker 3: a little bit of this is just coming from the
Speaker 3: brock Party argument. But Okay, well we'll get to don't
Speaker 3: think stuff.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, no, we'll get to the We'll get to
Speaker 2: the brock Party stuff in a moment. So Trevor has
Speaker 2: done one thing poorly this year. He fumbles too much.
Speaker 2: That is undeniable, and it was a problem for him
Speaker 2: last year.
Speaker 3: Last year.
Speaker 2: He needs to do he needs to do better. When
Speaker 2: it's so with the six turnovers, he has three interceptions,
Speaker 2: but he has lost three fumbles. He has a couple
Speaker 2: other fumbles he didn't lose that must be cleaned up.
Speaker 2: But the fact of the matter is that everything I've
Speaker 2: said about Trevor is correct. They're four and two, with
Speaker 2: one of those losses coming to the Chiefs. They beat
Speaker 2: the Bills on a neutral site. Trevor has been, aside
Speaker 2: from the Chiefs game, either good or very good in
Speaker 2: every single game this year. And the the idea of well,
Speaker 2: if you don't care about Brock Party's five and one record,
Speaker 2: why would you care about Trevor Lawrence's four and two record?
Speaker 2: Is I care about. When I look at a team's record,
Speaker 2: I ask myself do they have the talent commensurate with
Speaker 2: that level of success. If they have a lot of
Speaker 2: talent and they're underachieving, then I look to say, okay, well,
Speaker 2: who are the reasons? Is it coaching? Is one of
Speaker 2: their star players not producing? Is it just terrible quarterback play?
Speaker 2: What is it? And if they have a better record
Speaker 2: than their talent would suggest, then I say who is
Speaker 2: carrying the load for the Jags? The answer is Trevor
Speaker 2: Lawrence and Travis Etsy and are carrying the load ATSI
Speaker 2: end's been excellent. Trevor has been crushing on third and
Speaker 2: longs all year. Now I wish he wasn't in so
Speaker 2: many third and lungs, but to already have swept the
Speaker 2: season series with the Colts, who seemingly are your biggest
Speaker 2: competition for the division. All of a sudden, that Houston
Speaker 2: Texans loss, that everyone was killed him for now he
Speaker 2: didn't play great, and that he played okay in that game,
Speaker 2: but the team obviously played terribly and Trevor wasn't great.
Speaker 2: That loss doesn't look as awful as it once did
Speaker 2: because the Texans are not an awful team. Now, I
Speaker 2: don't think the Texans are some great team, but the
Speaker 2: Texans are a legit team. Here are the facts, whether
Speaker 2: people want to acknowledge it or not. Trevor Lawrence is
Speaker 2: since last since last November first, so we are now
Speaker 2: talking about almost a full calendar year. Is what is
Speaker 2: he thirteen? And I'm gonna get it exactly right. I apologize.
Speaker 2: He's twelve and four and three of those losses came
Speaker 2: to the Chiefs, so or twelve. I'm sorry, twelve and
Speaker 2: five and three of those losses came to the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: So yeah, the Jags they can't beat the Chiefs. Trevor's
Speaker 2: been excellent, and I every the I want folks to
Speaker 2: remember the actual because people like moving the goalposts on this,
Speaker 2: so I want people to understand what it was. The
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars in twenty twenty one, with Trevor and his
Speaker 2: rookie year, went three and fourteen and had the first
Speaker 2: pick of the draft. They were the worst team in
Speaker 2: the NFL. Last year they started two and six. Okay,
Speaker 2: started two and six. I never lost faith. Since then,
Speaker 2: since starting two and six, they have lost four to
Speaker 2: is it four?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: One? Two? Three five games, three to the Chiefs, one
Speaker 2: to Detroit and then the bad loss to the Texans.
Speaker 2: They have won. Let me make sure I've write seven
Speaker 2: eight twelve games, so they're twelve and four. Twelve and
Speaker 2: five is the record, like I said, And Trevor's been excellent,
Speaker 2: and so yes, you know how you can believe real
Speaker 2: quick that a guy who in the NFL up to
Speaker 2: that point of his career had a five and twenty
Speaker 2: record through his first twenty five games. You know why
Speaker 2: you can believe in that guy and be proven correct pedigree, Yes,
Speaker 2: it matters. The guy was five and twenty his first
Speaker 2: twenty five starts. But if you watch the games and
Speaker 2: if you're familiar with him as a player, then you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: he's going to get it right. He did get it right.
Speaker 2: So there it is. Go ahead. Do you have follow up?
Speaker 3: So with what you're saying, how Trevor, Trevor, Lawrence and
Speaker 3: Travis hits he and are carrying the load, they should
Speaker 3: definitely lose night than without Trevor. If he's not playing correct.
Speaker 2: Well, if they listen, if they have started CJ. Bethard,
Speaker 2: they're in dire shape. What I will say is I
Speaker 2: am very curious because the Saints are down both starting
Speaker 2: tackles and one backup tackle. So in order for the
Speaker 2: Jags to win tonight if Trevor doesn't play, it honestly
Speaker 2: has to be like a seventeen to thirteen win. It
Speaker 2: has to happen because the Saints can't protect Derek Carr,
Speaker 2: and the Saints often struggles even when they can protect Carr. But, yeah,
Speaker 2: I believe in the Jags tonight because I believe Trevor
Speaker 2: is gonna gut through it and play. It's an important
Speaker 2: game and then you get ten days off. But the Yeah,
Speaker 2: I do not think the offense is going to look
Speaker 2: good without Trevor Lawrence if he doesn't play tonight against
Speaker 2: the New Orleans Saints next.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that makes sense. All right, So your
Speaker 3: Chiefs had the chance to take a sizeable lead in
Speaker 3: the AFC West, but the Chargers are desperate and have
Speaker 3: had success in Arrowhead before. What's more troubling the hungry
Speaker 3: Chargers of the fact that your Chiefs have not beaten
Speaker 3: a decent team yet.
Speaker 2: Well, you play who's on the schedule. I mean, they
Speaker 2: lost the Lions in Week one. I don't know what
Speaker 2: people want them to. Do you know what I mean
Speaker 2: post that other than beat everyone, not trail for a
Speaker 2: single second in the second half in the following five games,
Speaker 2: go ahead, demnse.
Speaker 3: It does just look strange. It's a little fishy that,
Speaker 3: like the best team that they've played, they lost to.
Speaker 2: Well. Listen, if people want to have the take that
Speaker 2: the Chiefs aren't any good, they should have that take.
Speaker 2: I think that that's an interesting one. I wouldn't necessarily
Speaker 2: go public with it, but you just said it on
Speaker 2: a very popular podcast. Here's the thing that I'll tell
Speaker 2: you about this game, for sure. This game scares the
Speaker 2: hell out of me. The Chargers season is over with
Speaker 2: a loss. And the Chargers never beat I shouldn't say
Speaker 2: never rarely beat the Chiefs, but it's always close every
Speaker 2: time they play. It's a three point game, and the Chargers.
Speaker 2: If the Chiefs win this game, they win the division.
Speaker 2: The division is just over midway through October, and the
Speaker 2: Chargers know that, and the Chargers coach is coaching for
Speaker 2: his job potentially, and so I don't feel great about
Speaker 2: this spot. I don't think the Chiefs are going to
Speaker 2: blow them out because they never blow the Chargers out.
Speaker 2: And now Herbert has beaten the Chiefs twice, but it
Speaker 2: should be noted one of those games was the final
Speaker 2: week of the year when the Chiefs rested their starters.
Speaker 2: Mahomes didn't play, so I do kind of throw that
Speaker 2: one out. But the first game of Trevor of sorry,
Speaker 2: of Herbert's career, the game that he came in because
Speaker 2: the team doctor stabbed Tyrod Taylor and he didn't think.
Speaker 2: You don't know this story to Monseay. They were trying
Speaker 2: to give Tyrod Taylor a painkilling injection in his ribs
Speaker 2: and the doctor put the needle in too far and
Speaker 2: punctured his lung. That's true story, not great, and so
Speaker 2: all of us yeah, yeah, and so all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: justin Herbert, week two of his rookie season, had to
Speaker 2: play in a game he did not think he was
Speaker 2: gonna have to play, and he came in and played well.
Speaker 2: Now they lost that game. But this is the final
Speaker 2: score since Herbert's been with the Chargers of Chiefs Charger games,
Speaker 2: and I mean it really goes the Yeah, the final
Speaker 2: score of Chiefs Chargers games since Herbert's been there. The
Speaker 2: Chiefs win twenty three to twenty The final week of
Speaker 2: the year. The game I was talking about, the Chargers
Speaker 2: win by bunch of the Chiefs arresting their starters. The
Speaker 2: next year, the Chargers win thirty to twenty four, and
Speaker 2: then the Chiefs win thirty four to twenty eight. One
Speaker 2: score game. Last year, the Chiefs win twenty seven to
Speaker 2: twenty four. Then the Chiefs win thirty to twenty seven.
Speaker 2: These are close games, and for Kansas City, this is
Speaker 2: their only actual losable game of these opening eight weeks
Speaker 2: post Jacksonville. Oh yeah, by the way, I can't believe.
Speaker 2: I'll let you get away with that. The Chiefs beat
Speaker 2: the Jags, who lead the division and right now have
Speaker 2: are tied for the third best record in the AFC.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs also beat the Jets, who all of a
Speaker 2: sudden people are arguing as a playoff contender. So they
Speaker 2: have not played great teams yet, but they play all
Speaker 2: those teams later in the year. So I think the
Speaker 2: Chiefs win on Sunday. But I'm very anxious about this game,
Speaker 2: very anxious about this, and because I would feel better
Speaker 2: about the Chiefs in this spot if the Chargers had
Speaker 2: one on Monday Night football. But because they lost, and
Speaker 2: because there're seasons on the brink. I'm anxious about it,
Speaker 2: all right, what's next?
Speaker 3: All right? The Eagles have a shot at redemption after
Speaker 3: losing to the Jets. They'll just mess it up. But
Speaker 3: they face off against the red hot Miami Dolphins. So
Speaker 3: the winner of this game is the team to beat
Speaker 3: until Kansas City's actual season starts after eight weeks, right.
Speaker 2: I mean I think that, And we're gonna talk more
Speaker 2: about them in a moment. I think right now, the
Speaker 2: team that should has the strongest argument that they should
Speaker 2: be considered the team to beat is the Lions. The
Speaker 2: Lions have the best win of any team in the NFL.
Speaker 2: They also their only loss is in overtime to a
Speaker 2: good team in Seattle. And like the every other team,
Speaker 2: you can go up and down the list. It's yeah,
Speaker 2: the Niners only loss is a Clobe loss, but it
Speaker 2: was to PJ. Walker. The Eagles blew a game, just
Speaker 2: gave a game away to the Jets. The Dolphins only
Speaker 2: losses to a really good team, the Bills, but they
Speaker 2: got blown out in that game that go out.
Speaker 3: I think that was fair to the Niners about how
Speaker 3: you said they lost to PJ Walker. PJ Walker isn't
Speaker 3: on defense like they got. So it's not like it's
Speaker 3: not like the Browns lit them up on offense. The
Speaker 3: Niners just couldn't. I mean, the Browns are the best,
Speaker 3: the best defensive football party.
Speaker 2: He couldn't handle it, Okay, So I just want I
Speaker 2: just want to make sure I understand this. When it
Speaker 2: comes to discussing Niners' losses, it's a team endeavor. And
Speaker 2: when it comes to discussing Niners wins, brock Perty's five
Speaker 2: and one is that how we do it. I just
Speaker 2: want to know. I just want to make sure I
Speaker 2: understand when the Niners succeed, we must give Brock purty
Speaker 2: as flowers. When they lose. It's a team sport. Amazing
Speaker 2: how that works out because the Niners don't have.
Speaker 3: A good defense, right you were just like you lost
Speaker 3: a PJ. As if he lit them up, but he didn't.
Speaker 3: Like That's all that's the that's the point now making
Speaker 3: is the defense.
Speaker 2: I'm saying, I'm saying a literal fact, you lost the game.
Speaker 2: The opposing quarterback was PJ. Walker. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I'm saying that's a bad loss. I'm saying losing to
Speaker 2: a fringe playoff team with their backup quarterback is a
Speaker 2: bad loss, just like the Eagles losing to a fringe
Speaker 2: Did the Eagles lose to Zach Wilson this week? Yes
Speaker 2: or no? It's good. Yes they did. They lost to
Speaker 2: a fringe playoff team, and it's a bad loss. I mean,
Speaker 2: it just is what it is. Like the here's what
Speaker 2: I know. I know that the and again I'm not
Speaker 2: killing the Niners here. I'm trying to support the Detroit Lions,
Speaker 2: who have no bad losses. Defense is better than I
Speaker 2: thought it would be. Golf has been better on the
Speaker 2: road than I thought he would be. They have had
Speaker 2: If you look demands at the Lions schedule, this is okay.
Speaker 2: So they play the Ravens obviously this weekend, and I
Speaker 2: know we're going to talk about that game in a moment.
Speaker 2: I'm kind of it. Yeah. So, so the Lions after
Speaker 2: playing the Ravens, play one game the rest of the
Speaker 2: way against a team that currently has a winning record.
Speaker 2: They have the the the Lions after the Ravens. Here's
Speaker 2: their schedule Raiders, Chargers, Bears, Packers, Saints, Bears, Broncos, Vikings, Cowboys,
Speaker 2: Vikings and by the time they're playing the Vikings. The
Speaker 2: Vikings are probably playing a young quarterback. They're you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, they're probably in the in full on
Speaker 2: tank mode. Here's the The Lions could lose all of
Speaker 2: their tough games. Yeah, they get the Broncos. They the
Speaker 2: Lions could lose all of their tough games left and
Speaker 2: go fourteen and three. I mean they have one, two, three,
Speaker 2: four five. They have five games left against current one
Speaker 2: win teams. Their most difficult their five most difficult games
Speaker 2: are as follows at the Ravens, at the Cowboys, and
Speaker 2: then the next most difficult games they have are at
Speaker 2: the Chargers, home for the Raiders, and at the Saints.
Speaker 2: So the point I'm making is the Lions are very
Speaker 2: very well positioned to be the one seed right now.
Speaker 2: You can get them. You know what, let's make that
Speaker 2: bet right now. You can get the Lions to be
Speaker 2: the one seed at I believe it's plus four forty, Yeah,
Speaker 2: plus four forty. I'm looking at it right now. I
Speaker 2: think that's a hell of a bet. You you want
Speaker 2: a piece of that, Demanse.
Speaker 3: I think that's an awesome bet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you think that's an awesome bet. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: We're gonna do that. Just I'm gonna do that. During
Speaker 2: the commercial break, Oh my goodness, the the producers are
Speaker 2: telling me that we just stepped all over the offer
Speaker 2: at the end of the show. But guess what, we're
Speaker 2: accepting the offer. I try not to even read the
Speaker 2: offer beforehand because I want to be surprised by it.
Speaker 2: But I guess that's gonna be the offer at the
Speaker 2: end of the show. Now, Dolphin's Eagles, because we spent
Speaker 2: that whole time talking about the Lions. By you know what,
Speaker 2: let's just finish up the Lions thing here. I apologize
Speaker 2: I kind of screwed up the rundown, but it is
Speaker 2: what it is, is good content. Who do you like
Speaker 2: this week? In demonse? The Lions are the Ravens.
Speaker 3: I like it, Like yeah, I said, I like the Ravens,
Speaker 3: But like you said, with the Chiefs, I am pretty
Speaker 3: nervous about it. I don't think that it's it's not
Speaker 3: gonna be sweet. I think it's gonna be a pretty
Speaker 3: good game.
Speaker 2: I think it'll be a great game. Here is the concern.
Speaker 2: The argument against us betting the Lions to be the
Speaker 2: one seed right now is if you think they're gonna
Speaker 2: lose to the Ravens. The number will be better on Monday.
Speaker 2: But if they beat the Ravens, the number is gonna
Speaker 2: be so much worse. I think it's worth betting raz Yeah,
Speaker 2: because if they beat the Ravens, everyone is gonna take
Speaker 2: note of the fact that they're gonna be favored in
Speaker 2: almost all of their remaining games until they play Dallas.
Speaker 2: All right, now, I was asked about Dolphins Eagles. This
Speaker 2: is a wildly important game for Philly. Here's the thing
Speaker 2: about the Eagles that folks I will start to discuss.
Speaker 2: If they lose this game to Miami, their next seven
Speaker 2: are This is the opposite of the Lions situation at
Speaker 2: the Commanders who beat them last year, and then Dallas
Speaker 2: at Kansas City, Buffalo, San Francisco, at Dallas at Seattle.
Speaker 2: If they lose to the Dolphins, this five and zero
Speaker 2: can very very quickly turn into seven and five like
Speaker 2: with a lot, and no one would be shocked by it.
Speaker 2: Like the at Commanders, they should be able to just
Speaker 2: power bomb Sam Howell into the center of the Earth
Speaker 2: multiple times because they can't protect Sam Howel. They have
Speaker 2: a great pass rush. Home for the Cowboys is a
Speaker 2: coin flip game at the Chiefs, they're a dog. Home
Speaker 2: for the Bills is a coin flip game. Home for
Speaker 2: the Niners is a coin flip game at the Cowboys
Speaker 2: as a coin flip game at the Seahawks. They're a
Speaker 2: slight favorite. Slight favorite. But that's five coin flip games
Speaker 2: in a row right after this coin flip game against Miami.
Speaker 2: The question here is going to be the determining factor
Speaker 2: in Eagles Dolphins. The Eagles back end can not hold
Speaker 2: up against Miami's passing attack. Can Miami's offensive line hold
Speaker 2: up against the Eagles pass rush? Because the one time
Speaker 2: Miami hasn't looked like the best offense we've ever seen
Speaker 2: was the Bills game when the Bills got after them
Speaker 2: and the Bills sacked to a That's the only time
Speaker 2: all year where it's been like, Okay, this Miami team
Speaker 2: is there's a way to defend them now? Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't think. And by the way, Tua has been sacked
Speaker 2: six times all year. Four of them were in that
Speaker 2: Bills game. So that is the question of this football game.
Speaker 2: If Miami can find a way to get to a
Speaker 2: time they will shred this Eagle secondary. But if Jalen
Speaker 2: Carter and friends can get to Tua. This is a
Speaker 2: scary game for Miami, A legit scary game for Miami.
Speaker 2: All right, since we did schedules, I want to ask
Speaker 2: you one other question. The in regards to the Niners,
Speaker 2: you're all of a sudden newly beloved Niners because we
Speaker 2: were discussing about how cmac's injury is not that significant
Speaker 2: given the deep down you know brought Perdy will turn
Speaker 2: into a pumpkin without Christian McCaffrey. Would you be uber
Speaker 2: cautious with Christian McCaffrey and his return, not only like
Speaker 2: to make sure he's one hundred percent healthy, but to
Speaker 2: want him as fresh as possible for the end of
Speaker 2: the season, Like would you treat that? Because if I'm
Speaker 2: the Niners, I feel like more important, even than seeding,
Speaker 2: is Christian McCaffrey being healthy at the end of the
Speaker 2: year and the added bonus of getting Brock party. Some
Speaker 2: reps under less than ideal circumstances, So if something does
Speaker 2: happen at the end of the year, he's more used
Speaker 2: to it and doesn't look like how he looked, you know,
Speaker 2: And I understand it was raining in a little chilly
Speaker 2: in Cleveland, but in that game this past week, and
Speaker 2: under less than ideal circumstances, I would be super conservative
Speaker 2: with Christian McCaffery. Your thoughts on that.
Speaker 3: I think that makes a lot of sense. Actually, get
Speaker 3: party some extra practice before postseason comes. Christian McCaffrey's obviously
Speaker 3: your best offensive weapon. One might argue, Yeah, yeah, No,
Speaker 3: I think that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: The flip side is this, Christian McCaffery has like a
Speaker 2: sneaky outside chance at winning league MVP, so he might
Speaker 2: want to get back in there as soon as possible.
Speaker 2: But for a guy who's dealt with as many injuries
Speaker 2: as he's dealt with, I think that that's the advice
Speaker 2: I would give Kyle Shanahan. All Right, we're gonna take
Speaker 2: a quick break, do our gambling show and bet the
Speaker 2: Lions to win to be the number one seed. Do
Speaker 2: it all next, What's right?

Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in what's right with Nick? Right, Demanse?
Speaker 2: I just text you the bet slip. You're in for
Speaker 2: ten percent of it, all right, so tell her and
Speaker 2: you get the text. Yeah, well, it's not a free roll.
Speaker 2: I mean, I assume you're gonna, you know, cash at
Speaker 2: me or something if it doesn't hit. But for the
Speaker 2: time it can be a free roll. No, I'm kidding.
Speaker 2: You can just have ten percent, but uh, the go ahead.
Speaker 3: No, I got you. I'll get I'll definitely make I'll
Speaker 3: fill your pockets on that one. I appreciate you. I
Speaker 3: know nothing.
Speaker 2: You're fine. But by the way, I can't see Demanse
Speaker 2: anymore right now, So if we can get that, there
Speaker 2: we go. Now I can see him. No, we can
Speaker 2: just square up at the end of the year. Right now.
Speaker 2: Consider it a loan, just a loan because it's gonna win.
Speaker 2: So rather than you have to send me ten percent,
Speaker 2: then I send you that back plus the you know,
Speaker 2: when it wins. That's a Lions plus four forty to
Speaker 2: be the one seed with that schedule left. Again, I
Speaker 2: don't think they are. I do not. I'm not yet
Speaker 2: ready to say I think they're, you know, the cream
Speaker 2: of the crop of the NFC. But they do have
Speaker 2: the best resume and they do have the easiest path. Now,
Speaker 2: is there a little bit of me that feels because
Speaker 2: the Lions are such a snake bit en franchise, this
Speaker 2: does kind of feel like a team that goes fourteen
Speaker 2: and three is flying high, gets the bye, and then
Speaker 2: gets banked in their first playoff game. Right now, it
Speaker 2: does kind of feel like that they get the no.
Speaker 2: For us, that wouldn't matter at all. For Lions fans,
Speaker 2: it would matter a lot. All right, let's show last week,
Speaker 2: and I like the process of last week. I gotta
Speaker 2: tell you last week. So let's go through the winners
Speaker 2: and then the losers. Okay, Cleveland, I told you all
Speaker 2: week the hot team. I said that the Niners could
Speaker 2: lose outright, and I was getting the seven points. I
Speaker 2: said that every week this year, the hot team has
Speaker 2: lost Week one, the defending champion Chiefs get picked off.
Speaker 2: Week two, the Lions. Everyone's loving on them because they
Speaker 2: beat the Chiefs. They lose in overtime. Week three, the
Speaker 2: Cowboys are going to the super Bowl. They've won seventy
Speaker 2: to ten their first two weeks of the year. They
Speaker 2: lose to the Cardinals. Week four, the Dolphins had just
Speaker 2: scored seventy points. It's the greatest offense ever. They lose
Speaker 2: to the Bills. Week five, the Bills are back. They
Speaker 2: had just beaten the Dolphins. They lose to the Jags.
Speaker 2: Week six, Brock parties the MVP. The Niners are great.
Speaker 2: They lose to Cleveland and PJ. Walker, here's a problem
Speaker 2: for this week. That team this week doesn't exist. It
Speaker 2: doesn't exists.
Speaker 3: The Lions.
Speaker 2: Well, here's the problem on that, and then I'll get
Speaker 2: to these other picks in a moment. The Lions are
Speaker 2: are underdogs this week, so that you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: Like they're playing at Baltimore. No one is saying like,
Speaker 2: oh and so, and Cleveland is in such a weird
Speaker 2: spot because Deshaun didn't even practice yesterday, Like nobody knows
Speaker 2: what's going on with their quarterback situation. And I don't
Speaker 2: think people are anointing the Lions. I think there are
Speaker 2: I'm sorry the Browns. I think they're anointing the Browns defense.
Speaker 2: But right now there is that team. There isn't really
Speaker 2: this week that team of the week go ahead.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, I was just I was gonna say that.
Speaker 3: I was just agreeing that there's uncertainty in the Browns
Speaker 3: and what.
Speaker 2: They there's uncertainty. Yeah. And then because the Niners lost,
Speaker 2: the Eagles loss, the Chiefs didn't play. They played on Thursday,
Speaker 2: but they weren't overly impressive. The Bills won but didn't
Speaker 2: look good. There isn't really a team that is right
Speaker 2: now at the top of everyone's power rankings, if you will.
Speaker 2: But I said I like Cleveland plus seven. I also
Speaker 2: said I thought Deshaun was gonna play. He didn't play.
Speaker 2: That line moved to ten. Cleveland wins outright. I also
Speaker 2: got Dallas laying two and a half against the Chargers,
Speaker 2: and I sat on Thursday at three and a half.
Speaker 2: I don't love it. At two and a half, I
Speaker 2: love it. Dallas wins by a field goal. So the
Speaker 2: process behind both of those was sound. Now let's talk
Speaker 2: about the losing bets. Seattle plus three at Cincinnati, Seattle
Speaker 2: nearly doubled them up in yardage, demanse and four times
Speaker 2: in the second half, had the ball inside the ten
Speaker 2: and came away with three total points, threw a pick,
Speaker 2: had two turnover on downs. I just needed one of
Speaker 2: those to be a field goal or for Gino to
Speaker 2: come through at the end for the win. But and
Speaker 2: they cover the three. Instead, they lose by four. Go ahead.
Speaker 3: You gotta stop bending against the Bengals.
Speaker 2: Many They're off this week, so I don't have the opportunity.
Speaker 2: But Seattle plus three, the process was right. We were
Speaker 2: on the right side. It took a lot of awful luck,
Speaker 2: and they still lose by They don't you know they
Speaker 2: lose by four. We had them plus three New England
Speaker 2: plus the Raiders. Pardon me here, but you gotta be
Speaker 2: kidding me. They're down two with the ball and Mac
Speaker 2: Jones gets safety. He gets safety. I sent out a
Speaker 2: tweet when they got the ball down two that if
Speaker 2: this game ends with a Mac Jones pick six, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna lose my mind. Instead, it was more painful than that.
Speaker 2: Instead of the pick six, it was just the predictable
Speaker 2: Mac Jones, no pocket awareness. Standing in the end, Max
Speaker 2: crossb becomes ripping around the right side. Safety, lose by
Speaker 2: four at least on here's the thing that made that
Speaker 2: so much, so much worse than a pick six. Even
Speaker 2: let's just say Demonse, because the Patriots are down two,
Speaker 2: I'm catching three. Let's just say that on the first
Speaker 2: play of that possession, with two minutes left, he throws
Speaker 2: a pick six. Guess what then happens? Patriots down nine,
Speaker 2: with the ball with two minutes and the Raiders backing off.
Speaker 2: I'm still alive there. I don't like it, but I'm
Speaker 2: alive if they just if he anything other than a safety,
Speaker 2: I'm alive. But a safety is two points and the
Speaker 2: other team gets the ball, so it's just over. It's
Speaker 2: just so much worse than anything. And then I was
Speaker 2: wrong on Tampa. There's no listen. I said Tampa plus
Speaker 2: three and a half, they wouldn't have covered thirteen and
Speaker 2: a half. I was just wrong on Tampa. So but
Speaker 2: I feel good about the process last week. So that's
Speaker 2: where we're at for last week. We've been two and
Speaker 2: three or three and two every single week this year,
Speaker 2: which puts our record at thirteen and seventeen, which is pathetic.
Speaker 2: It's just utterly pathetic. I don't feel good about it,
Speaker 2: but I feel good about this week's picks. Let's get
Speaker 2: right to them. What's the first pay for?
Speaker 3: First off, you got Jacksonville plus one and a half
Speaker 3: at New Orleans. I've given everything that we've talked about.
Speaker 3: That's that's what I figured, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Trevor's not playing, then if Trevor's not playing,
Speaker 2: then at least I'm getting points against the Dennis Allen
Speaker 2: coach team on short rest without without three of their
Speaker 2: best offensive linemen. Dennis Allen teams, by the way, are
Speaker 2: one and seven straight up on short rest.
Speaker 3: Oh, hold on, and yeah, I think you can get
Speaker 3: the Jags at plus two now or.
Speaker 2: Plus and now two. Well, that means the market is
Speaker 2: concerned Trevor's not playing, which actually like makes me like
Speaker 2: this a little bit less. But you know what, We'll
Speaker 2: stick with it. We'll stick with it. I think Trevor's
Speaker 2: gonna gut through it. I think Trevor's gonna play. They're
Speaker 2: gonna have a very conservative game plan. We're taking the
Speaker 2: Jags plus two and a half at New Orleans. Again.
Speaker 2: The Saints injury report is brutal on their offensive line.
Speaker 2: So the Saints uh are without Ryan Ramcheck, they are
Speaker 2: without land and Young they are let me see, there's
Speaker 2: another offensive lineman who they're oh, James Hurst. They're without
Speaker 2: three offensive linemen already ruled out for today's game. Trevor
Speaker 2: is listed as questionable, not not even as doubtful. So
Speaker 2: we're gonna hold out hope that he's able to play.
Speaker 2: Now the and Brandon Shirf is also listed as questionable.
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna play. I do not think the
Speaker 2: Saints are good. The Saints have a good defense, they
Speaker 2: don't have a good offense. And the Jags if Jade,
Speaker 2: if Josh Allen Can and former number one overall pick
Speaker 2: Trayvon Walker, who has not yet lived up to that
Speaker 2: draft status, they can harass Derek Carr knock him around.
Speaker 2: We'll take the Jags plus two and a half. Now,
Speaker 2: all right?
Speaker 3: Next, all right, you got Las Vegas minus three at Chicago.
Speaker 2: Okay, this is very simple. I I understand the Raiders
Speaker 2: are probably not gonna have Jimmy g and they it's
Speaker 2: either Brian Hoyer who Brian Hoyer. So this is gonna
Speaker 2: sound like I'm talking against my own bets. But demons,
Speaker 2: when do you think is the last time Brian Hoyer
Speaker 2: won a game as a starter. Let's give it a
Speaker 2: guess how long it's been.
Speaker 3: Wasn't there? Is that the same Hoyer that I'm thinking about?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 3: Is he the relevant? I don't know, it's probably been
Speaker 3: a while because I haven't heard, like is he? Is
Speaker 3: he older?
Speaker 2: He's old? He's thirty eight, he's old, gentleman. So Brian
Speaker 2: Moyer hasn't won a game as a starter since twenty sixteen,
Speaker 2: He's lost. If we're you know, since twenty sixteen, he's
Speaker 2: zero to nine as a starter. And even if we
Speaker 2: just throw in twenty sixteen, then he's just one in
Speaker 2: thirteen and his last fourteen starts, which is why they
Speaker 2: might not start him this week. They might start Aid
Speaker 2: and O'Connell. Okay, so you might be saying, Nick, why
Speaker 2: would you lay points in this setting? And the answer
Speaker 2: is because the Bears are starting a dude from a
Speaker 2: place called Shepherd College named Tyson Badgeant, and I'm just
Speaker 2: going to fade him this way. I'm not gonna have
Speaker 2: many opportunities to bet against Tyson Badgint. I'm I'm only
Speaker 2: laying three points. It's as simple as that. I mean,
Speaker 2: this guy again, you you know I care about pedigree
Speaker 2: when your college career is at Shepherd College. I understand
Speaker 2: he uh he set records there. I get all of it.
Speaker 2: But let me see, Tyson does he even have a
Speaker 2: rivals page? Tyson badging is right now. If you go
Speaker 2: to rivals, I mean he's he's unranked, zero star and
Speaker 2: then he wait for a that's what he was Shepherd College.
Speaker 2: Let me just go to Shepherd College for a moment.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was an inn ai A school for
Speaker 2: a while, then it was D two. I just can't.
Speaker 3: Somebody is like the quarterbacks and their names. With their names,
Speaker 3: you can kind of tell what they're gonna be. I mean,
Speaker 3: I know it's really stupid, but Tyson badging is right
Speaker 3: in line.
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, Sheppard College has twenty seven hundred
Speaker 2: students total. That's where he played football at. What are
Speaker 2: you talking? Are you talking to me? What are you
Speaker 2: talking about?
Speaker 3: No? No, no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: You're right, you're you're trying to talk to the producers.
Speaker 2: But it was into the microphone. I think the yeah, no,
Speaker 2: the bear. So it's it's it's Raiders at Bears. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna lay the three points the uh against Chicago, And yes,
Speaker 2: I understand the Bears had PJ. Walker and they cut
Speaker 2: him because they liked Tyson Badgint. Our buddy Mark Carmon
Speaker 2: during training camp, who covers the Bears, said he thought
Speaker 2: Tyson Badgint might be better than justin fields, but he
Speaker 2: was afraid to say that publicly. I'm telling you right now,
Speaker 2: I'm betting against Tyson Badgert. It's just that simple. It's
Speaker 2: a bat. It's a broken offense with not enough skill
Speaker 2: position guys, I'm betting against him. I'm only laying three points.
Speaker 2: The process there is this could be a Nate Peterman
Speaker 2: situation where the if you don't remember Demonsey, people got
Speaker 2: mad at the Bills of like six years ago before
Speaker 2: they got Josh Allen because they were like a decent
Speaker 2: team and Tyrod Taylor was playing decent and they had
Speaker 2: just been to the playoffs, and they were like, you
Speaker 2: know what, We're gonna turn the page to Nathan Peterman
Speaker 2: and people were like, you've got to be kidding me.
Speaker 2: They're like, no, we're gonna do it, and all the like. Basically,
Speaker 2: universally in the football media, we were like, uh, Nathan
Speaker 2: Peterman's not an NFL player, and they're like, no, trust us,
Speaker 2: And so they let him start against the Chargers. And
Speaker 2: in that game, he completed the ball six times to
Speaker 2: his team and completed the ball five times to the Chargers.
Speaker 2: He threw five picks. It was six to fourteen, and
Speaker 2: it was just it was kind of just noticing the
Speaker 2: Nathan Peterman game. By the way, Nathan Peterman, you might
Speaker 2: be like, hey, how did that end up working out
Speaker 2: for him? Because somehow he is still in the NFL.
Speaker 2: And the answer to that is in his NFL career,
Speaker 2: he currently sits at four touchdowns thirteen interceptions. And again
Speaker 2: you might be saying, why is that a relevant piece
Speaker 2: of information? And the answer that that's irrelevant pieces of
Speaker 2: information is guess who's backing up Tyson Badgitt this weekend?
Speaker 2: Nathan Peterman. So I am betting against the Chicago Bears,
Speaker 2: that's the answer. I am Bettingdownie, Yes he does. We
Speaker 2: have a situation where the starting quarterback is a kid
Speaker 2: from Shepherd and the backup is one of the worst
Speaker 2: players in NFL history. I'm betting on the Raiders, even
Speaker 2: though their backup is a guy who has not won
Speaker 2: a game since Kaepernick was a starting quarterback. That's the citest.
Speaker 2: That's what this game is. This is how you break
Speaker 2: bad gambling streaks. Is it's your you're It's a Aid
Speaker 2: and O'connell'brian Hoyer versus Tyson Badger and Nathan Peterman tag
Speaker 2: team match. What is the total in this game? I
Speaker 2: don't bet totals, but god, the total in this What
Speaker 2: do you think the over under in that game is?
Speaker 3: Demanse thirty six.
Speaker 2: Thirty seven and a half, thirty seven and a half.
Speaker 2: All right? Next?
Speaker 3: All right? We got Buffalo minus eight and a half
Speaker 3: at New England.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Buffalo just blows out the Patriots.
Speaker 3: Is this is a crazy one?
Speaker 2: Why do you say that? Because you think it should.
Speaker 3: Makes a lot of points and like the a lot
Speaker 3: of Belichick. Obviously, I don't think Belichick is ever gonna
Speaker 3: be willing to just throw games. He's not trying to tank.
Speaker 2: I don't He's not trying to tank, but he was
Speaker 2: trying to win. He got beat thirty four nothing by
Speaker 2: the Saints. Like that's the problem. The problem for the Patriots,
Speaker 2: which is your correct They're not trying to tank, and
Speaker 2: they're terrible. They got beat thirty four to nothing by
Speaker 2: the Saints, thirty eight to three by the Cowboys. The
Speaker 2: Raiders are are again not an overwhelming football team. The
Speaker 2: Patriots were totally desperate. They lost to the Patriots. And listen,
Speaker 2: the Patriots have the Bills and the Dolphins the next
Speaker 2: two weeks. They've They've got no talent on offense. Their
Speaker 2: best two defensive players are injured. I just and Josh Allen.
Speaker 2: What he's done against the Patriots is just dominate them
Speaker 2: over the last few years. Let me let me give
Speaker 2: it to you. Last year against New England, they won
Speaker 2: by eight in the final game of the year, and
Speaker 2: then earlier in the year they won by fourteen. That
Speaker 2: the previous year, he played them three times, once in
Speaker 2: the playoffs, beat them by thirty once in the regular
Speaker 2: season in that wind game. That one, I don't give it.
Speaker 2: That was the one where the Patriots won fourteen to
Speaker 2: ten and through three passes, because the wins were like
Speaker 2: seventy miles an hour, and then beat them by twelve
Speaker 2: the other time the year before beat the Patriots by
Speaker 2: twenty nine and by three. I just think the Bill
Speaker 2: If I know anything about Buffalo, it's after looking shaky,
Speaker 2: they then look dominant. This is the week for them
Speaker 2: to look dominant.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Yeah, I mean just the same thing. They
Speaker 3: They're coming off of the win, but they beat the
Speaker 3: Giants by five. So like, I just.
Speaker 2: Feel like, what do we say about the Bills Dolphins
Speaker 2: eight and a half? Damn rollercoaster? Yeah, yes, but this
Speaker 2: is who they are. They score sixteen against the Jets,
Speaker 2: then thirty eight, thirty seven, forty two against Raiders, Commanders Dolphins,
Speaker 2: then twenty against the Jags, fourteen against the Giants. They're
Speaker 2: gonna here's the thing. To cover eight and a half
Speaker 2: against New England, you just need twenty four four. Like,
Speaker 2: New England's not getting to seventeen points against the Bills defense,
Speaker 2: They're not. No. I like Buffalo minus the eight and
Speaker 2: a half.
Speaker 3: Next, Pittsburgh plus three and a half at the Rams.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's the Steelers after a bye. It's the
Speaker 2: Steelers as a dog. It's all of the Mike Tomlin stuff.
Speaker 2: He's fifty six thirty one and four against the spread
Speaker 2: as a dog. It's the best in the league over
Speaker 2: the last twenty years. The Steelers are fourteen and five
Speaker 2: straight up after a bye under Tomlin. That's not quite
Speaker 2: Andy Reid, but it's damn close. And McVeigh is right
Speaker 2: at five hundred against the spread when he's outside of
Speaker 2: his own division. It's just I'm getting three and a
Speaker 2: half points, and what could be? I don't know that
Speaker 2: the Rams. The Rams' biggest weakness is their offensive line.
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's biggest strength is its pass rush. I think they'll
Speaker 2: be able to get to Stafford. And even if the
Speaker 2: Rams are up ten late, Kenny Pickett loves nothing more
Speaker 2: than doing nothing the entire game and then finally throwing
Speaker 2: one bomb down the field to Pickens. And so just
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh catching three and a half off the by there
Speaker 2: are too many fundamentals that say you gotta bet that.
Speaker 2: So I'm going to all right next?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Minnesota plus seven versus San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I under the producers are saying, here's the
Speaker 2: reason I shouldn't do it. Every Kirk Cousins national television
Speaker 2: stat I understand that it's Kirk Cousins on night games.
Speaker 2: I understand that here's the thing. Ninety two percent of
Speaker 2: the money is on a road favorite, laying a touchdown.
Speaker 2: Ninety two percent is on San Francisco. Also, I do
Speaker 2: think Brian Flores, who is incredibly sharp, while he doesn't
Speaker 2: have the personnel that Cleveland, has watched that Cleveland game
Speaker 2: plan against Purdy and said, I'm you know what, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna take some of those keys. Furthermore, I do think
Speaker 2: the Niners are gonna be conservative with the guys coming
Speaker 2: off injury. Also, Brock Perdy only six career road games,
Speaker 2: two and four against the spread. Also, Minnesota is a
Speaker 2: back door covering juggernaut, and I'm getting a full seven.
Speaker 3: The whole world.
Speaker 2: Likes the Niners. Here. I'm gonna be four and oh
Speaker 2: going into this this game Monday Night Football, the Vikings
Speaker 2: plus seven, and it's gonna be something like the Niners
Speaker 2: have a thirteen point lead throughout. Kirk Cousins hits Jordan
Speaker 2: Addison midway through the fourth to put him down six.
Speaker 2: You're like, oh my god, are they gonna steal it?
Speaker 2: And then the Niners just run out the clock. I
Speaker 2: Likennesota plus seven. That's what I'm gad to say.
Speaker 3: I like this one less than than the Buffalo one.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, well I get that. I understand that you're
Speaker 2: part of the ninety two percent of the public that's
Speaker 2: gonna be all over San Francisco laying the seven. I'm
Speaker 2: fine with that. I'm gonna I'm gonna have. This is
Speaker 2: how this week's gonna go. We're gonna have a nice
Speaker 2: Thursday win to set us up sweep Sunday, and then
Speaker 2: a nice Monday nighter to go to win the weekend.
Speaker 2: Jacksonville plus two and a half, Vegas minus three, Buffalo
Speaker 2: minus eight and a half, Pittsburgh plus three and a half,
Speaker 2: Minnesota plus seven. All right, so, demons, what's the teaser
Speaker 2: we're doing?
Speaker 3: Uh So, last week's teaser that we got wrong was
Speaker 3: a three team seven point teaser. We got the Denver
Speaker 3: plus seventeen and a half at Kansas City, which it
Speaker 3: looked like it could have failed at one point. But yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: Houston plus eight and a half versus New Orleans and
Speaker 3: then Tampa Bay plus ten versus Detroit.
Speaker 2: That was painful. You and I were texting about it.
Speaker 2: We just needed one Baker Mayfield drive. He didn't have it.
Speaker 2: Baker just flatley didn't have it.
Speaker 3: So and Baker's awesome coming through this year, but yeah, he's.
Speaker 2: Been coming through. But all right, So you've lost four
Speaker 2: teasers in a row. So you just you've been doing
Speaker 2: these three team seven pointers this week. You're shaking the
Speaker 2: snow globe a bit. What are we doing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're doing a four team ten point teaser at
Speaker 3: plus one hundred. It's just twenty less than the odds before.
Speaker 3: All right, So we got Detroit one extra team.
Speaker 2: It's twenty it's just twenty cents less odds. But you
Speaker 2: do have to add an extra team. That's the penalty.
Speaker 2: That's the penalty for doing a ten point teaser. No,
Speaker 2: I'm just saying to the audience. So it makes sense,
Speaker 2: like the ten point teaser, that you have to add
Speaker 2: an extra team to get even money. Go ahead, fair.
Speaker 3: Uh So we got Detroit from Detroit versus Baltimore, teasing
Speaker 3: Baltimore up to plus thirteen from plus three.
Speaker 2: We got to Chargers hold on teasing not to plus thirteen.
Speaker 3: Teasing Detroit up. Sorry, but Baltimore's minus three, Detroit from
Speaker 3: plus three to plus thirteen. And we got the Chargers
Speaker 3: versus Kansas City teasing the Chargers from five and a
Speaker 3: half to fifteen and a half. You got Philly versus Miami.
Speaker 3: We're teasing them up. I don't know what the original
Speaker 3: I think it's minus two and a half, teasing them up,
Speaker 3: teasing them up to plus seven and a half. And
Speaker 3: then we got Tampa Bay versus Atlanta. We're also teasing
Speaker 3: up to seven and a half from minus two and
Speaker 3: a half.
Speaker 2: Okay, can I try to convince you of something here?
Speaker 3: You can try?
Speaker 2: Okay, Detroit like it, they're not. I don't think they're
Speaker 2: getting blown out the Chargers. I'm good with it. I
Speaker 2: don't think the Chiefs are blowing them out Tampa Bay Philly.
Speaker 2: I don't think Atlanta has the capability of blowing someone out.
Speaker 2: Philly can absolutely win this game outright, there's a reason
Speaker 2: they're the favorite. But if Miami can protect Tua, Miami
Speaker 2: has been a covering machine. So here is what I
Speaker 2: would just encourage you. Let me just ask you this
Speaker 2: before you lock this in. It's your teaser. You do
Speaker 2: whatever you want. What could you see more likely being
Speaker 2: a story on Monday? Holy crap, the Dolphins beat the
Speaker 2: Eagles by double digits? Is that more likely? Or this?
Speaker 2: Holy crap? The Patriots beat the Bills.
Speaker 3: Uh, the the first one, I mean, definitely the first one.
Speaker 2: But you know, if that's the case, I'm just saying,
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you.
Speaker 3: Can and a half or plus two and a half
Speaker 3: plus one and a half exactly eight right now, tease.
Speaker 2: Buffalo down to where essentially just went just win or
Speaker 2: lose by a point somehow. I'm just saying, Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know what's funny, Buffalo was taken out like I
Speaker 3: had them in. I had them, I had them in
Speaker 3: when it was an eight and a half point teaser though,
Speaker 3: and we teased them down to exactly.
Speaker 2: This is eight and a half point teaser. I mean,
Speaker 2: I understand fand will let you do anything you want,
Speaker 2: but that's not right.
Speaker 3: Hey, So let's all right. So you know what that
Speaker 3: that makes a lot of sense. And I feel like
Speaker 3: Philly Miami is a that's a sweat. That's a sweat. Uh,
Speaker 3: I'll take yeah, I'll tell you. I just got publicly humiliated.
Speaker 3: You just got me to take this leg out and
Speaker 3: put this other leg in.
Speaker 2: No, No, that's a public humiliation. That's seam work. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's teamwork.
Speaker 3: And that was with my inside scoop that I got
Speaker 3: for the teaser that I placed today. Uh. But no,
Speaker 3: so look, I definitely I definitely want to do that.
Speaker 3: It makes a lot of sense, like sense.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then by the way it says on the screen,
Speaker 2: there we go, they fix it. It did say New England,
Speaker 2: but now it says Buffalo. The Bills are not going
Speaker 2: to lose to the Patriots. They're just not. Uh. I
Speaker 2: would honestly be more worried about the Bills if they
Speaker 2: I know, people will say this is crazy if they
Speaker 2: had just blown out the Giants, because they do. But
Speaker 2: they seem angry as they should be about how they
Speaker 2: played against the Giants. They seem you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: they And so I just all right, good, I'm glad
Speaker 2: and by the way, I I'm you know, who knows.
Speaker 2: Maybe I screwed you there, but I just Philly Miami
Speaker 2: to me is not an attractive teaser game because I
Speaker 2: just could see I could see either team winning, but
Speaker 2: I also could see either team winning my double digits
Speaker 2: because it could just get away from them. The reason
Speaker 2: that I like like I do like Tampa Bay in
Speaker 2: Atlanta as a teaser game because that's one of those
Speaker 2: games I feel like you could tease either way and
Speaker 2: be in good shape because I don't think either team's
Speaker 2: gonna blow out the other one that feels like a
Speaker 2: one score game. Detroit. I have too much respect for
Speaker 2: it to think they're gonna get blown out by Baltimore.
Speaker 3: And while charge is the beautiful leg to be honest, well,
Speaker 3: because you're.
Speaker 2: Getting through all the key numbers. Yes, you're getting all
Speaker 2: of the important numbers.
Speaker 3: I mean it is also the highest number. I didn't
Speaker 3: notice that.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, uh, okay, all right, that that one's not
Speaker 2: bad at all. All right, what's the offer this week? Guys?
Speaker 3: The offer week seven? You know you like the Lions
Speaker 3: to be the number one seed in the NFC. We've
Speaker 3: got a nice new offer for you. Detroit and Kansas
Speaker 3: City parlay to be the number one season their division
Speaker 3: at plus twelve hundred.
Speaker 2: To be the number one seeds in the conference. So
Speaker 2: I so I love that it's twelve to one. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean the Chiefs are gonna be the one seed
Speaker 2: that now Miami could be if Miami beats him in Germany.
Speaker 2: Miami has a leg up on them. I understand that
Speaker 2: part of it. Uh, but yeah, I'll take that offer.
Speaker 2: Detroit and Kansas City to be the one seeds.
Speaker 3: Oh, sweeten the deal a little bit. What if we
Speaker 3: parlayed San Francisco's total win under to twelve and a
Speaker 3: half at plus twenty five sixty five.
Speaker 2: You know, I've got enough chips on the anti Niners
Speaker 2: table right now. I'm not gonna add anymore, so I
Speaker 2: don't need I don't need to add any more to that.
Speaker 2: I understand the logic there is, well, if the Niners
Speaker 2: hit their over, they're gonna be the one seed in
Speaker 2: the bets dead either way, but that's not necessarily true.
Speaker 2: Niners could hit their over, be thirteen and four and
Speaker 2: not be the one seed, because the Lions could be
Speaker 2: fourteen and three and be the one seed given their schedule. Also,
Speaker 2: while I don't think this is gonna happen, there would
Speaker 2: be nothing sweet if just open your mind up to
Speaker 2: the possibility. I know I missed her twenty and zero
Speaker 2: and that one's that's dead obviously. But if the Chiefs
Speaker 2: were to run the table and then and then see
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl the Detroit Lions, the only team
Speaker 2: that beat them this year, and then beat the Lions
Speaker 2: to go nineteen and one and have literally beaten everyone
Speaker 2: they played because they got a rematch. That's the greatest
Speaker 2: team of all time. That is the greatest season anyone's had,
Speaker 2: greater than the seventy two Dolphins.
Speaker 3: This is crazy story.
Speaker 2: It would be a crazy thing that you lose by
Speaker 2: one to open the season. And I did say the
Speaker 2: thing that I tried to sell Wilds and brew on
Speaker 2: after the Chiefs lost was that they're gonna be the
Speaker 2: O set Patriots in reverse. The seven Patriots went undefeated
Speaker 2: until the Super Bowl and then lost. The twenty twenty
Speaker 2: three Chiefs are gonna lose Week one and then go undefeated.
Speaker 2: Far way better, way more fun than the O seven Pats.
Speaker 2: We answer your questions next from the chat. What's right?
Speaker 2: All right, DEMANSI let's roll through some of these questions
Speaker 2: real quick.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Anastasio, Smart Coopolos or Markopolis?
Speaker 2: Ye?
Speaker 3: Nick, I am still. I am still alive in my
Speaker 3: survival pool. Want to have picked the Eagles. I feel
Speaker 3: like everyone is taking the Seahawks, and I think they
Speaker 3: can lose. What are your thoughts, uh?
Speaker 2: I Usually the Seahawks are a popular pick because they're
Speaker 2: playing Arizona. Obviously they could lose. My thoughts are using
Speaker 2: the Eagles this week is insanity? Like using the Eagles,
Speaker 2: you know, the week they're playing the Dolphins is not
Speaker 2: a good idea. So I, Oh, he's saying he's already
Speaker 2: used the Eagles previously. Oh, I get what you're saying. Okay,
Speaker 2: So if you're asking me obviously if they're available, if
Speaker 2: they're available. I think Buffalo is a very smart bet
Speaker 2: this week. And because Buffalo, I understand they have easy
Speaker 2: games remaining, but they are such an unreliable team. They're
Speaker 2: easy games are not the same as other teams easy games.
Speaker 2: I just don't think the Patriots can beat them. I
Speaker 2: if you want to get really aggressive, you can ride
Speaker 2: with me on the fading Tyson Badger Nate Peterman and
Speaker 2: roll with the Raiders this week in a survivor pool.
Speaker 2: I understand using a Survivor pick on Aiden O'Connell Brian
Speaker 2: Hoyer sounds crazy, but I just don't see how the
Speaker 2: Bears can win that football game, all right.
Speaker 3: Next a zsl Nick, Who do you think makes a
Speaker 3: bigger impact? Frank Clark and Nicole Hardman.
Speaker 2: I think McCall is so assuming the Chiefs get both back.
Speaker 2: They already got McColl back. I think McColl makes a
Speaker 2: bigger impact in the regular season. Frank makes a bigger
Speaker 2: impact in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Next Caleb w Ass. If you had to predict a
Speaker 3: current division leader to miss the playoffs entirely, who would
Speaker 3: it be?
Speaker 2: I mean, right now, the division leader most likely to
Speaker 2: miss the playoffs entirely, you'd have to say is Tampa.
Speaker 2: The division leaders are as follows, Miami, Baltimore, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Billy, Detroit,
Speaker 2: San Francisco, and Tampa. The one most likely to miss
Speaker 2: the playoffs is Tampa. The other one that I think
Speaker 2: is on the board. I don't think Jags are on
Speaker 2: the board to miss the playoffs.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 2: I just don't think anyone else in that division is
Speaker 2: going to be able to get especially with Anthony Richardson
Speaker 2: now done for the year. The other one is that
Speaker 2: I would again, of those eight choices, other than Tampa,
Speaker 2: my biggest concern would be Baltimore, only because every team
Speaker 2: in that division is legitimate and Baltimore has a history
Speaker 2: of some tough injuries. You could see Cincinnati getting hot,
Speaker 2: you know, if Cleveland gets the quarterback situation squared away,
Speaker 2: if Pittsburgh just wins through defense and coaching. I but
Speaker 2: right now, I mean, the Niners are not missing the playoffs.
Speaker 2: The Eagles are not missing the playoffs. The Lions are
Speaker 2: not missing the playoffs, the Chiefs, Jags, and Dolphins. I
Speaker 2: guess the Dolphins would be the next pick if something
Speaker 2: were to happen to Tua, because the Bills are right there,
Speaker 2: but Tampa would be the best bet. All right, let's uh,
Speaker 2: let's go to uh. Let's just go ahead and read
Speaker 2: the fifth question. Yep, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Somebody said, asked, how are you handling your being in college?
Speaker 3: And any advice for how I can break it? Break
Speaker 3: it to my parents. I'm choosing a college in Arizona
Speaker 3: instead of hearing Maryland.
Speaker 2: Uh. I mean, your parents just want you to be happy,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Just I think they'll I
Speaker 2: think they'll be supportive, assuming like that you're doing it
Speaker 2: for with good reason, and I think you'll be I
Speaker 2: think you'll be fine. And as far as how am
Speaker 2: I handling it?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: She owes me a text. I'm actually I text her
Speaker 2: yesterday and said and and said I had can we
Speaker 2: talk today? And she hadn't responded to me. It was
Speaker 2: one of the first days we haven't talked. I wrote
Speaker 2: her a very nice text. I said, I love and
Speaker 2: miss you. Scoop, can we catch up tomorrow when you're free?
Speaker 2: And she just left me on Red? Demase, she just
Speaker 2: left me on Red. That's tragic, all right? What's the
Speaker 2: last question?
Speaker 3: Producers asked, what else do you know about the Clippers?
Speaker 3: Hard and rumors? That's a good one.
Speaker 2: Well, what I reported that the Clippers could have gotten
Speaker 2: James Harden for a first round pick one swap in
Speaker 2: ten Aaron's man and they said no, And that kind
Speaker 2: of shows the world where James Harden's market is right now,
Speaker 2: and it's.
Speaker 3: Also double down and make it even worse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Harden is now lashing out at the Sixers. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna try to get more info on that throughout the day,
Speaker 2: and I think we're gonna talk about that at three
Speaker 2: o'clock today on First Things First, So people should tune
Speaker 2: in there. Deman's great work today. We're going five and
Speaker 2: zero your teasers winning. We'll see you guys on Tuesday.
Speaker 2: What's right
