Speaker 2: Welcome in episode one eighty one, What's Right with Nick Wright?
Speaker 2: In this episode of What's Right with Nick Wright is
Speaker 2: brought to you by the McDonald's App. I love the
Speaker 2: McDonald's app because I can order my favorites anytime I
Speaker 2: want and to have them delivered to me whenever and wherever.
Speaker 2: Ordering on the app is so easy. I'm gonna do
Speaker 2: what I've done a few shows. I'm gonna place an
Speaker 2: order right now to be delivered to me before this
Speaker 2: show is over. So let me open up the McDonald's app.
Speaker 2: There it is. Let me go to my favorite breakfast meal,
Speaker 2: which is the two burritos, hash browns and orange juice.
Speaker 2: It knows where I'm at because this is why I
Speaker 2: delivered last time boot boop, a little Apple pay option.
Speaker 2: Done and done. All right? See that easy? Now I
Speaker 2: can focus on the show. McDonald's gonna bring us that
Speaker 2: food right before, well, at some point during the show,
Speaker 2: before the show ends. So now into the show. Demonse, was,
Speaker 2: you know, working hard last night? Texted the group chat guys,
Speaker 2: I'll take care of the rundown tomorrow. Dame Lillard traded,
Speaker 2: that's the A block. That's all my work for the day. Demonse,
Speaker 2: your look right there was like a look of fear
Speaker 2: like you were supposed to do something you hadn't done
Speaker 2: that you thought I was being that I was about
Speaker 2: to say something there. I could just see the deer
Speaker 2: in the headlights, look like you were like, what was
Speaker 2: he going to say that I did? Because I didn't
Speaker 2: do anything. What is he talking about? And did I
Speaker 2: read your facial expression correctly? Is that right?
Speaker 3: Sort of? Sort of?
Speaker 4: I just when I thought my face is more so
Speaker 4: when you were talking about I said that I had
Speaker 4: it taken care of in the a's because these guys
Speaker 4: obviously know how to do these rundowns better than me,
Speaker 4: I was being sarcastic in the group chat.
Speaker 2: No, of course, no, but your instinct was right that
Speaker 2: even for our regular gambling show, we are going to
Speaker 2: start with Dame. So here's the way I think today's
Speaker 2: show is going to go. We'll do like fifteen ish
Speaker 2: minutes on Dame. We'll then run through the other stories
Speaker 2: in the A block and then have a nice, meaty
Speaker 2: gambling segment, which up to this point in this year,
Speaker 2: the segment of been good, the picks of been mediocre.
Speaker 2: I'm a game under five hundred on the picks, Demante's
Speaker 2: a game under five hundred on his teasers. We're us
Speaker 2: a middling team right now. We're like, let me find
Speaker 2: a good example. Yeah, I mean, I'm trying to find
Speaker 2: an NFL team where it fits right now. We're kind
Speaker 2: of like the Chargers Jaguars, you know what. I like
Speaker 2: that one better. We're like the Jaguars, amazing potential, really
Speaker 2: high hopes, but you know, substandard performances thus far. Unlike
Speaker 2: the Jaguars, we are not going across the pond to
Speaker 2: England to try to break the streak. However, we think
Speaker 2: we're gonna be okay, all right, here is what missed
Speaker 2: the cut on today's show. Taylor Swift is gonna attend
Speaker 2: the Jets Packers game. I'm sorry, the Jets Chiefs game
Speaker 2: here in New York. Aaron Rodgers saying the Jets need
Speaker 2: to grow up, and JJ Watt reacting to the tush
Speaker 2: push or what they now want to call the Brotherly Shove,
Speaker 2: also reacting to that is the end. The Brotherly shaw
Speaker 2: is actually a cool name for it, but I think Peter,
Speaker 2: I think Peter Schrager came up with it. Here's I
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw our little clip on the
Speaker 2: that the Philly quarterback sneak is one of our most
Speaker 2: shared viral clips ever because Eagles fans are so mad
Speaker 2: at me and hate my opinion on it so much,
Speaker 2: and you even Demonse caught a fair amount of strays
Speaker 2: from people who, uh don't typically watch the show, aren't
Speaker 2: familiar with it, and don't know who you are. And
Speaker 2: a few of the comments are like, and who's this
Speaker 2: guy just laughing about it? Why doesn't he speak up?
Speaker 2: Never even seen this guy before? It doesn't Nick just
Speaker 2: got a yes man to work with him on his pod,
Speaker 2: So none of that's great, Philly fans really upset. All right, Demonse,
Speaker 2: Let's get to the A block and what we're starting with.
Speaker 4: All right, so we're obviously in think of the NFL season,
Speaker 4: but Damian Lillard just got traded to the Bucks, so
Speaker 4: he's obviously teaming up with the Honest. Now, is this
Speaker 4: more about Dame finally going to a contender or is
Speaker 4: this more about the Bucks trying to please Giannis?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean this happened because the Jannis put real
Speaker 2: pressure on Milwaukee, and I give credit to you. Listen,
Speaker 2: it is very in vogue for NBA stars at different
Speaker 2: points of their career to criticize or take shots at
Speaker 2: how Lebron has conducted as business, and then when the
Speaker 2: Rubber meets the road to conduct their business in the
Speaker 2: exact same manner. There's a great tweet from Kevin Durant
Speaker 2: a few days after Lebron signed with Miami where he's like,
Speaker 2: what's up with everyone wanting to team up? You know
Speaker 2: what happened to competition? Let's go at each other. And
Speaker 2: then five years later, when things are going a little tougher,
Speaker 2: j Ran of course goes to Golden State. Honest, in
Speaker 2: the worst fashion possible. Giannis was, you know, mister loyalty,
Speaker 2: mister Milwaukee, mister you know, I don't want, you know,
Speaker 2: a super team, and then all of a sudden, you
Speaker 2: get the taste of the sweet nectar of a championship.
Speaker 2: You have a couple disappointing postseason runs, and you're out
Speaker 2: here telling the New York Times. I don't know what
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do. I'm you know, Let's see how committed
Speaker 2: they are. Let's see if everybody cares as much of
Speaker 2: a championship as much as I do, which is a
Speaker 2: very lebron move of I'm going to put my boot
Speaker 2: on the organization's neck and say I don't give a
Speaker 2: damn about a ninth grader to be named later in
Speaker 2: the form of a twenty twenty nine draft pick. I
Speaker 2: want stars around me. I watched other people hoist the title.
Speaker 2: I watch someone who I believe I'm better than, Anikola
Speaker 2: Jokic be universally, nearly universally regarded now as the best
Speaker 2: player in basketball. This is bullshit. Get me better players,
Speaker 2: and they did. And I know there is some instant
Speaker 2: demand's galaxy brain. Does this actually hurt Milwaukee? No, it doesn't.
Speaker 2: I am first team member of card Caring member of
Speaker 2: Drew Hollidays underrated. Drew Holliday contributes more to winning than
Speaker 2: Kyrie Irving. I've been saying that for years that Drew
Speaker 2: Holliday's two way impact is almost second to none if
Speaker 2: you consider offensive defense equal parts of what he does
Speaker 2: on the you know, at the guard position. One of
Speaker 2: the greatest plays in NBA Finals history was I think
Speaker 2: it was Game four against Phoenix. It might have been
Speaker 2: Game five, I'm not sure, the Drew Holiday steeal with
Speaker 2: less than thirty seconds left. Yeah, the stealing the lob
Speaker 2: Drew Holliday. If you remember the year they won, that
Speaker 2: year when they won the title, the game three against Brooklyn,
Speaker 2: when they're down two oh to Brooklyn and that game
Speaker 2: is coming down to the final moments, Drew Holliday had
Speaker 2: the game saving defensive play. They go on to win
Speaker 2: that series. Drew Holliday has been a great player. Okay,
Speaker 2: he also is not as quite as impactful defensively as
Speaker 2: he once was. It's fourteen years into the league. I
Speaker 2: mean he's he's only in his mid thirties, but he
Speaker 2: came in so young. He just got baptized in the
Speaker 2: playoffs by Jimmy Butler, who was just mother fing him
Speaker 2: up and down the court while doing it, and offensively
Speaker 2: in the postseason, he at times has been a lesser
Speaker 2: version of himself. So I love Drew and will get
Speaker 2: to Drew in a bit because I still think he
Speaker 2: can help a contender in a major way. I'm not
Speaker 2: denigrating him, but Damian Lillard averaged thirty two points per
Speaker 2: game last year, and other than Steph Curry, who obviously
Speaker 2: not available, I would argue this, Demons, tell me if
Speaker 2: you agree.
Speaker 3: What was that last time?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Well, I'm gonna I said. Other than Steph,
Speaker 2: I would argue the following. There is not a superstar
Speaker 2: in the league that better fits with Giannis. There is
Speaker 2: not another guy whose game they complement each other better
Speaker 2: than Yeah, than Jannis and Dame. Because what's Dame's biggest
Speaker 2: weakness as a player, Demonse?
Speaker 3: Who is the defense?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the defensive side of the ball and where yeah?
Speaker 2: And where will you where? What is Giannis arguably the
Speaker 2: best in the league at Yeah, Giannis will cover that
Speaker 2: up there. When teams play Giannis, what do they try
Speaker 2: to do? Pack the paint takeaway spacing. Well, when you've
Speaker 2: got a guy who can hit from forty feet out
Speaker 2: with relative ease, you have instant spacing. So it is
Speaker 2: a hand and glove fit that instantly makes the Bucks
Speaker 2: the Bucks. The last few years have been great defense,
Speaker 2: average offense. They take a slight or they take a
Speaker 2: hit defensively, but now they can be a very good offense.
Speaker 2: And I would argue for Yannis now, his biggest utility
Speaker 2: for Milwaukee is not necessarily to try to win League MVP,
Speaker 2: to try to win Defensive Player of the Year is
Speaker 2: to have the lion's share of his energy be on
Speaker 2: that end. Yanni's Pruss Blook Pruss Pruss plus Brook will
Speaker 2: give you a good defense baseline no matter what, and
Speaker 2: Dame can be bombs away. So I for Milwaukee, I
Speaker 2: think basketball wise it's great. I also think there is
Speaker 2: this element of it. I don't think this guarantees Yannis
Speaker 2: signed some an extension. I think it raises the likelihood.
Speaker 2: But you know, Dame is under contract for four more years,
Speaker 2: Yiannis under contract for two more years. I think Gianni's
Speaker 2: is gonna see how these couple of years go and
Speaker 2: make sure Dame's he's healthy and that Dame ages the
Speaker 2: way people hope he ages, and if not, he could bounce.
Speaker 2: But still Milwaukee is doing everything they can do to
Speaker 2: keep their generational player happy. That is exactly what they're
Speaker 2: supposed to do. And for Yannis, Yannis gets it that.
Speaker 2: There was discussions two years ago after he won the title.
Speaker 2: How high can Yannis climb on the pyramid? Can he
Speaker 2: jump Durant? Can he jumps Steph? Can he jump Shack?
Speaker 2: Can he jump? A team that then stalled out for him.
Speaker 2: He then saw Steph win another title, and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden, folks are wondering, hold on a second,
Speaker 2: what if Jokic wins this year? Does Jokic then jump
Speaker 2: yanis the answer that's probably yes, And so there's it is.
Speaker 2: So Yannis felt real pro sure put that pressure then
Speaker 2: on Milwaukee. They responded, And I think they're the favorites now.
Speaker 2: I just think they're the clear favorite. They're plus three
Speaker 2: to fifty to win the title right now. Yeah, And
Speaker 2: as far as a gambling perspective, I there's not going
Speaker 2: to be good value betting the favorite almost ever, So
Speaker 2: I don't think i'd bet them at plus three fifty,
Speaker 2: but I do think they should be the favorite. All right,
Speaker 2: what other follow ups do we have? Jimmy Butler claimed
Speaker 2: that there was some tampering. Uh, does anything seem fishy
Speaker 2: with this to you? Okay, so I don't think there
Speaker 2: was tampering, but there are a few things that are
Speaker 2: at least worth noting. One is shout out to Rob Burrez,
Speaker 2: my pal worldwide wob on Twitter, great Twitter follow for
Speaker 2: immediately tweeting out this video that I had forgotten of
Speaker 2: this past year's All Star Draft? Did you see this
Speaker 2: floating around the internet yesterday? To Monsey, it's great. So
Speaker 2: in the All Star Draft, oh, Lebron and Yannis are
Speaker 2: the team captains, and Yannis has the first pick, and
Speaker 2: Lebron and for the reserves, and Lebron says, oh, I
Speaker 2: know who you're picking here, Yannis, Like we all know
Speaker 2: because Drew Holidays on there, and Yannis picks Dame Withdrew
Speaker 2: on the board, and Lebron says, Ley has a rise,
Speaker 2: smiles like, oh, I see what you're doing there, And
Speaker 2: this is something we had seen Lebron do in the past,
Speaker 2: picking Anthony Davis for the All Star Draft. And then
Speaker 2: there were real signals being put out there Chris Haynes
Speaker 2: reported that Jannis and Dame have talked about teaming up
Speaker 2: for a couple of years. Both wanted the other person
Speaker 2: to come to their city. Okay, that's not tampering, so
Speaker 2: that I don't find fishy. Here's what I do find fishy.
Speaker 2: I While I think Dames should be thrilled from a
Speaker 2: basketball perspective, we all know he wanted to go to Miami,
Speaker 2: and everyone's like, oh, Miami's offer stinks. You Windworst reported
Speaker 2: that the eight Nurkice trade was that they got the
Speaker 2: parameters of it a week ago. So you have to
Speaker 2: look at the Blazers getting eighton as a separate transaction almost,
Speaker 2: which means for Dame what they got was Drew Holiday,
Speaker 2: a second round pick this past year, and a first
Speaker 2: round pick in two swaps. I don't think that's a
Speaker 2: great return. Now you're gonna get something for Drew, and
Speaker 2: I know. Dan Levitard reported this morning that the Heat
Speaker 2: believe Portland was simply going to take the best offer
Speaker 2: that was not from the Miami Heat, that they were
Speaker 2: pissed that Dame tried to force their hand. Didn't like
Speaker 2: the way the Heat and Dame were doing business on
Speaker 2: this and that they were simply not trading him to Miami. Flatly,
Speaker 2: if I were Damed, that would piss me off, not
Speaker 2: because they sent me to a bad situation, but this
Speaker 2: is less than ideal for Dame in this regard. For
Speaker 2: the first one is obviously lifestyle. Whether Miami versus Milwaukee
Speaker 2: are pretty significant differences. But set that aside. If your
Speaker 2: Dame as a basketball player, if you believe you can
Speaker 2: win a title in Miami and you can win one
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee, I would understand why Dame the basketball player
Speaker 2: would say I'd rather do it in Miami, where a
Speaker 2: lot of people will say I was the best guy.
Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna say you're the best guy. When you're on
Speaker 2: Gianniss's team. It's like a different former Blazer. Clyde Drexler,
Speaker 2: the best Blazer in franchise history, went to two finals,
Speaker 2: lost one to Detroit, lost one to Jordan, and the
Speaker 2: Bulls couldn't quite get over the hump. Went to Houston,
Speaker 2: teamed up with the Keem who had already won a
Speaker 2: title without him, and won the championship. And he was
Speaker 2: the second best guy and was awesome. But everybody knows
Speaker 2: that was a Keems team. I get why Dame would
Speaker 2: have preferred Miami, and I'd be a little pissed if
Speaker 2: Levittar's correct that the Blazers simply were not going to
Speaker 2: trade him to Miami. I'd be a little pissed about
Speaker 2: that personally. Go ahead.
Speaker 4: How devastating is I mean, how devastating is this for
Speaker 4: the Heat fans?
Speaker 2: I mean, let alone, doubly devastating. It's not just they
Speaker 2: didn't get Dames that the Bucks did so, it's that.
Speaker 2: I think one of the reasons the Heat we're not
Speaker 2: putting all their chips on the table for Dame was
Speaker 2: their belief was just made the finals without him, Like,
Speaker 2: if we don't get him, were still okay. But then
Speaker 2: when the team with the best player in the conference,
Speaker 2: in the conference, maybe the league gets him. Now you're
Speaker 2: now you're in real trouble, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's the It's right. It's it's one thing to be
Speaker 2: like we don't need Dame necessarily. It's another thing to
Speaker 2: be like, we're not gonna get him, and our single
Speaker 2: biggest competition in the East is gonna get him. I
Speaker 2: don't think they thought, well, you know, Toronto was in this.
Speaker 2: If Toronto had gotten Dame. I don't think the heat
Speaker 2: or panicking. They're like, all right, it's a bomber, but whatever,
Speaker 2: but Milwaukee gets him, You're in real dire straits. All right.
Speaker 2: Now to the part of this go ahead.
Speaker 4: Just kind of seems like these days that like these
Speaker 4: these teams on paper, they look crazy, but they don't
Speaker 4: work out, is what I've been seeing more often than
Speaker 4: not these days.
Speaker 2: But so let's stay there. Wait, wait, wait, let's stay
Speaker 2: there for a second. Teams created out of thin air
Speaker 2: have not worked well over the last fifteen years, unless
Speaker 2: Lebron's been involved. Okay, the heatles were created out of
Speaker 2: thin air, but you have Apex Lebron as the focal point.
Speaker 2: The calves were created out of thin air. You have
Speaker 2: near Apex Lebron as the focal point. Those worked. The
Speaker 2: clippers created out of thin air to disaster, the nets
Speaker 2: created out of thin air disaster. This is not a
Speaker 2: team created out of thin air. This is the Milwaukee
Speaker 2: Bucks trading out Drew Holiday for Damian Lillard, much like
Speaker 2: the Golden State Warriors traded out Harrison Barnes for Kevin Durant.
Speaker 2: The Los Angeles Lakers traded out Lonzo and Kuzma for
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis. You see what I mean. It's a different
Speaker 2: situation than all of a sudden, this is the the
Speaker 2: created out of thin air super teams worked for the
Speaker 2: eight Celtics and for Lebron's teams. Everyone else it does not.
Speaker 2: But I don't look at this as that. I also
Speaker 2: want to look at this as super team. I look
Speaker 2: at this as two awesome players. Like I think you've
Speaker 2: got to have three awesome players for it to be
Speaker 2: a super team. I look at this as two awesome players.
Speaker 2: And so, but go ahead, I know you want to
Speaker 2: talk about Drew.
Speaker 4: So which contender should trade it, should trade for Drew Holiday?
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you, but you go ahead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think if the Celtics trade for
Speaker 4: whoever and end up getting Drew Holiday, I don't think
Speaker 4: there's a game that the Celtics will play the Bucks
Speaker 4: and loose.
Speaker 3: I think the Celtics would be really good with Holiday.
Speaker 2: I think you would trade Broadden, who they've been wanting
Speaker 2: to trade. You trade some picks, and you listen, the
Speaker 2: Celtics are gonna be involved. The Knicks are gonna be involved, Okay,
Speaker 2: the nick I don't know that. I mean, maybe he does,
Speaker 2: maybe he doesn't. I the Lakers are gonna call and
Speaker 2: say in December we can give you. We gotta wait
Speaker 2: because we signed these guys. We can give you a
Speaker 2: pick d Loo who's not that useful, and Ruey, who
Speaker 2: would fit well. The Lakers will call. I'm not saying
Speaker 2: they'll get him. There's other there's Windy talked about. And
Speaker 2: I really don't want this to happen. A three team
Speaker 2: trade demonse involving the Warriors, Blazers and Team X, where
Speaker 2: Chris Paul goes to Team X, assets go to the
Speaker 2: Blazers and Drew Holliday goes to the Warriors. Now that
Speaker 2: would be scary. Drew Holliday on that Warriors team would
Speaker 2: be a scary situation. And so I hope that doesn't happen.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you another thing that I would monitor, just
Speaker 2: a monitor, A three team trade involving the MAVs, Blazers,
Speaker 2: and Team X, maybe the Lakers, where Kyrie goes to
Speaker 2: Team X. Call it the Lakers, assets go to the
Speaker 2: Blazers and Drew goes to the MAVs. Drew is a
Speaker 2: better fit with Luca than Kyrie by a mile. Phils,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. That's another one of those
Speaker 2: things that fits really well. My buddy that used to
Speaker 2: run the MAVs, horalbos Vulgaris, who made I don't know
Speaker 2: maybe a billion dollars by being my guy heard Let me,
Speaker 2: did you know anything about Horalbo's Vulgars. I would tell
Speaker 2: the audience a quick story. Horalbos Vulgaris basically has lived
Speaker 2: out my life stream like my alternate life. He was
Speaker 2: the world's greatest NBA better. He fifteen years or twenty
Speaker 2: years ago, developed his own proprietary algo on NBA totals
Speaker 2: for over unders and NBA sides, and was the most
Speaker 2: successful NBA better ever by a decent margin. Made millions
Speaker 2: and millions of dollars betting. The NBA famously had the
Speaker 2: eight seed Warriors beating the one seed MAVs before the
Speaker 2: series has it just had made millions of dollars doing it.
Speaker 2: Also as his hobby, Demanse was what I would call
Speaker 2: a semi professional poker player, so living living good. He
Speaker 2: doubled I don't even want to say double down in
Speaker 2: the midst of that was a early and I mean
Speaker 2: early adopter of bitcoin and held so got you know,
Speaker 2: started buying bitcoin when it was less than one thousand
Speaker 2: dollars a coin, some less than one hundred dollars a coin,
Speaker 2: and bitcoin at one point was sixty five thousand a coin.
Speaker 2: So he had all this money from gambling invested in crypto,
Speaker 2: and I think has held a lot of the crypto.
Speaker 2: And then in the midst of it ran the Dallas
Speaker 2: Mavericks briefly or kind of associate ran the Dallas Mavericks.
Speaker 2: He wanted them to trade for Drew Holliday, they ended
Speaker 2: up going all in for Chris STAPs instead. He then
Speaker 2: left the MAVs, cashed out some of his crypto, and
Speaker 2: God bless him, bought a yacht and a soccer team
Speaker 2: in Spain and owns this soccer team, CD castlon is
Speaker 2: using his same like algorithms you know tweaked obviously to
Speaker 2: evaluate players that he used in the NBA. On soccer
Speaker 2: is it had an amazing first season. Hangs out on
Speaker 2: his boat with his awesome dog, occasionally stops by LA
Speaker 2: for big time poker games, and goes to every major
Speaker 2: NBA game best seat in the house. Like if you
Speaker 2: look at the picture of the uh okay, well, I
Speaker 2: don't care I'm telling a story, So go to hell
Speaker 2: and so uh and so. The reason I even thought
Speaker 2: of it was because Drew Holliday was the guy he
Speaker 2: pinpointed that the MAVs should go after Paranacks Toluca years ago.
Speaker 2: So I wonder if they'll be involved. But the question
Speaker 2: for the Blazers is gonna be are they gonna hold
Speaker 2: him until December when everyone who signed this offseason is available?
Speaker 2: Are they gonna trade him immediately?
Speaker 3: Go ahead?
Speaker 4: Do you think there's any chance that he's playing for
Speaker 4: the Blazers in like the thick of the season.
Speaker 2: No, not in the thick of the season, but maybe
Speaker 2: the very beginning, because anyone that signed this offseason can't
Speaker 2: be traded till like the middle of December. So if
Speaker 2: you there will be more players available and more trades available,
Speaker 2: then all right, now we can get the football. Go ahead,
Speaker 2: let's do it, all right.
Speaker 4: The Dolphins are coming off a seventy point offensive performance,
Speaker 4: but they are underdogs in Buffalo who just lost to
Speaker 4: the Jets a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Is the right team favored here? James favored? This is
Speaker 2: I knew we could go a little longer in the
Speaker 2: pre on the Dame stuff because I don't This is
Speaker 2: a confusing game. I don't yet have a pick for
Speaker 2: this game. I'm just telling you these two teams. The
Speaker 2: Bills defense looks unbelievable, but pardon me, that's been against
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Sam Howell. The offense looks unstoppable.
Speaker 2: The Dolphins' offense looked unstoppable against the Chargers and the Broncos,
Speaker 2: but was kind of held in check a bit by
Speaker 2: the Patriots. The Dolphins obviously aren't gonna look as good
Speaker 2: as they looked last week. And here's the other kind
Speaker 2: of interesting factor for this game. Josh Allen is going
Speaker 2: to go in this game feeling like I've got to
Speaker 2: be Superman because of the team we're up against. Right,
Speaker 2: he might be able to be the problem for Josh
Speaker 2: is he's in games he doesn't have to be Superman.
Speaker 2: He can't turn it off. The problem for Josh is
Speaker 2: not when he needs to be Superman. He can't get
Speaker 2: to that level. So this is a really tricky one.
Speaker 2: What I'll tell you is this for Miami's super Bowl chances,
Speaker 2: sneaky huge game. Because Miami's super Bowl chances, I believe involved,
Speaker 2: as we've talked about not having to play multiple, maybe
Speaker 2: any playoff games in freezing cold outdoor conditions, and they
Speaker 2: would have certainly the inside track to winning the AFC
Speaker 2: East and maybe the one seed overall by winning this game.
Speaker 2: But this is not gonna be one of knicks picks,
Speaker 2: And I don't have like this is the best game
Speaker 2: of the weekend, but I don't have a good feel
Speaker 2: for it at the moment. All right, next, all right.
Speaker 4: So the Chiefs have yet to beat a team with
Speaker 4: a winning record this year. Between this week when they
Speaker 4: play the Jets in November, Kansas City's opponents have a
Speaker 4: combined two wins. If Zach Wilson beats your Chiefs, will
Speaker 4: you get your tattoo lasered off?
Speaker 2: If Zach Wilson beats my Chiefs, guys, stop it. This
Speaker 2: is gonna be a massacre. It's gonna be I didn't
Speaker 2: promise a masker against the Bears. I'm promising a massacre
Speaker 2: in this game. Then here's it, and here's okay, we'll
Speaker 2: get you know what we're gonna do, Chiefs, Jets. It's
Speaker 2: gonna be one of my picks. The Chiefs have to cover,
Speaker 2: have to win by ten? How many points do they
Speaker 2: have to score to win by ten? Fourteen, thirteen, twenty one,
Speaker 2: twenty one. Yeah, twenty one guarantees they win by ten.
Speaker 3: I see the Jets going thirteen in this game.
Speaker 2: Well, then twenty one wouldn't win by ten. I know,
Speaker 2: like we gotta twenty one would not. They'll do it nice.
Speaker 4: I predicted the score yesterday. I feel like it's gonna
Speaker 4: be thirteen, like thirty five.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a massacre. That's and it's not a massacre
Speaker 2: of it. Thirty five to thirteen is not a massacre.
Speaker 2: Win by twenty two points. Okay, listen, we're gonna talk more.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk more Chiefs Jets in the gambling segment next.
Speaker 4: Uh So, the battle between the oh and three Brocos
Speaker 4: and the OH and three Bears might be a pretty
Speaker 4: bad game, a snoozer.
Speaker 3: If you will.
Speaker 4: Whichever team falls OH and four would have the potential
Speaker 4: pick for the first pick. Meanwhile, in college football, Kaleb
Speaker 4: Williams and the Trojans are gonna go to Boulder and
Speaker 4: face coach Prime, which has the potential to impact williams
Speaker 4: legacy more USC versus collar or Denver at Chicago.
Speaker 2: Denver at Chicago, listen the and hit listen here is
Speaker 2: because I think Chicago's got a really good chance of
Speaker 2: having the number one overall pick. This is this is
Speaker 2: the path forward for Chicago with the number one overall pick.
Speaker 2: You take Caleb. With the number three overall pick, which
Speaker 2: you might have thanks to the trade with the Panthers,
Speaker 2: you draft Marvin Harrison from Ohio State, and this offseason
Speaker 2: you fire your coaching staff. You hire Ben Johnson from Detroit,
Speaker 2: their offensive coordinator, have him him come in and work
Speaker 2: hand in glove with Caleb Williams. I will tell you this,
Speaker 2: if Chicago wins this game, I'm going to start to
Speaker 2: become quietly nervous that Caleb is going to be coming
Speaker 2: to the AFC West. If Chicago wins this game, Denver
Speaker 2: might turn the entire ship in the tanking direction. And
Speaker 2: I don't want that. I do not want I thought
Speaker 2: the Raiders were the team in the AFC West we
Speaker 2: were gonna have to worry about getting the number one pick.
Speaker 2: But if Denverse, you know, if their season goes, you
Speaker 2: lose to Jimmy g and the Raiders. You then blow
Speaker 2: a three score lead to Sam Howell at home. You
Speaker 2: then lose, you allow seventy points and then you lose
Speaker 2: to Chicago that has won one time in the last
Speaker 2: three hundred and seventy days. That's a big problem. And
Speaker 2: so everyone's like, oh, Caleb should want to go to Chicago. Well,
Speaker 2: we'll see, Like if they get a new coaching staff
Speaker 2: and they all already have the Panthers pick, you have
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison, that goes a long way to remaking your team.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Thursday Night football.
Speaker 4: All right, the Lions face the past todight in an
Speaker 4: early NFC North showdown. Chicago and Minnesota's season already seem over,
Speaker 4: So you got a fifty to fifty chance of your
Speaker 4: Packers Division winner bet being right at plus three fifty.
Speaker 4: The Lions embarrassed Kansas City, So if green Bay beats them, it.
Speaker 3: Would definitely mean something.
Speaker 4: Would all win versus Detroit proved green Bay is ahead
Speaker 4: of the schedule or if they just had easy games?
Speaker 2: Well, no, I mean if they win there one thousand
Speaker 2: percent ahead of schedule, and I you know, the producers
Speaker 2: wrote the Lions embarrassed Kansas City. They won by one point.
Speaker 2: The game the Chiefs didn't have their second to third
Speaker 2: best players. Like, I understand you guys are just trying
Speaker 2: to irritate me, but you there should be some accuracy.
Speaker 2: Might as well say, really said that he was embarrassed.
Speaker 2: He was embarrassed because he's embarrassed every time he loses.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs were not embarrassed by the Lions. There's a
Speaker 2: distinction there. There's a distinction thereship embarrassed. I'll getting this
Speaker 2: is fine, So listen. I I think the Jordan love
Speaker 2: He has not played quite as well as some of
Speaker 2: the numbers suggest, but his fourth quarter comeback against the
Speaker 2: Saints was exemplary, and that Saint Stephen's is legit. This
Speaker 2: is I think this is gonna be a great game,
Speaker 2: a great game tonight. The winner of this game should
Speaker 2: be the favorite to win the division. And in fact,
Speaker 2: right now, let me I mean, I'm I know Detroit's
Speaker 2: the favorite to win the division, but I wonder how
Speaker 2: big of a favorite they are. So I'm gonna look
Speaker 2: real quick. Hold on, one second, I apologize, I had
Speaker 2: it up and then I closed it out. So let
Speaker 2: me just click here. Divisions right now, the NFC North,
Speaker 2: it's plus one hundred to plus one fifty, so it's
Speaker 2: pretty damn close. If Green Bay wins this, they become
Speaker 2: the favorites to win the division. I obviously picked them
Speaker 2: to win the division. Now there, they've been very banged up,
Speaker 2: but they get some of those guys back today in
Speaker 2: you know, for at least limited snaps, and then hopefully
Speaker 2: they're much more healthy when they play ten days from
Speaker 2: now after the mini bye. I lean Green Bay in
Speaker 2: this game. It's not gonna be one of my picks.
Speaker 2: And speaking of my picks, I want to get to them.
Speaker 2: We've got it. We've got our gambling show. This is
Speaker 2: the heart. Listen, this is a hard week. Vegas. Vegas
Speaker 2: did a did pretty well on these lines this week.
Speaker 2: I guess they do every week, but almost nothing just
Speaker 2: jumped out to me. But I found five games I
Speaker 2: feel really good about. We'll do those next. What's right.

Speaker 2: another less than an ideal week for you and I.
Speaker 2: It was just like week one. You lost your teaser.
Speaker 2: I went two and three in the picks, so I'm
Speaker 2: not dead, but it's not great game under five hundred.
Speaker 2: I also had a team that lost by fifty in
Speaker 2: my picks. That probably should count as two losses. I
Speaker 2: had a team laying not eight and a half points
Speaker 2: that lost by twenty outright, that probably should be two losses.
Speaker 2: So however, the New England pick was money. The Steelers
Speaker 2: pick was money. So we went two and three. What
Speaker 2: are we starting with this week for picks?
Speaker 3: Uh, we're starting off with your picks with.
Speaker 2: Your What is my first pick? You've got Pittsburgh is
Speaker 2: two and a half at Houston?
Speaker 3: Did you bet?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Exactly. I got Pittsburg matter two and a half.
Speaker 2: I pick Pittsburgh every week. Here's the thing, I think
Speaker 2: they're still undervalued. I think Houston right now slightly overvalued
Speaker 2: because of how good they looked against Jacksonville. But Houston
Speaker 2: in this game could be on a backup offensive lineman
Speaker 2: and three third string offensive linemen. Their offensive line has
Speaker 2: been decimated by injury. With that being the case, going
Speaker 2: up against this Pittsburgh front, I think CJ. Stroud is
Speaker 2: gonna have his first really bad game, and so Pickett
Speaker 2: has not been favored a lot in his career, but
Speaker 2: he's four and one a straight up and against the spread.
Speaker 2: As a favorite, He's ten and five in his career
Speaker 2: against the spread. Now, Tomlin is a far better underdog
Speaker 2: coach than favorite coach. But it's such a small number,
Speaker 2: and I think Houston is right now maybe a little
Speaker 2: overvalued because of the Jags win and those injuries on
Speaker 2: the old line. I just like Pittsburgh in the spot.
Speaker 2: I think Pittsburgh's a good team. You guys know, I
Speaker 2: picked them to win that division. They're still very alive
Speaker 2: for that. So I like Pittsburgh minus two and a
Speaker 2: half in this spot. Go ahead.
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay plus three and a half at New Orleans.
Speaker 2: Did it look like you wanted to say something about
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh game? Did do you have any.
Speaker 4: Take the Pittsburgh You said it just looked it still
Speaker 4: looked good for them to win the division.
Speaker 3: I don't think it really looks good.
Speaker 2: Why.
Speaker 3: I mean the record by show otherwise.
Speaker 2: But I think, Oh the Ravens, Oh I forgot your
Speaker 2: beloved Ravens. Just lost to a backup quarterback, lost to
Speaker 2: a backup quarterback. Couldn't couldn't move the ball consistently. All
Speaker 2: of a sudden, Lamar is just running again. There are
Speaker 2: a lot of concerns about the Ravens. We'll get to
Speaker 2: them in a second. Tampa plus three and a half
Speaker 2: at New Orleans. This is I mean, the concern here
Speaker 2: is is Tampa going to be able to block New Orleans?
Speaker 2: That is a legit concern. This New Orleans defense is awesome. However,
Speaker 2: I'm getting Jamis Winston and Dennis Allen as the quarterback
Speaker 2: coach combo against what I believe to be a good defense.
Speaker 2: You have Baker, I think, frustrated after the performance against Philadelphia,
Speaker 2: and Mike Evans probably frustrated after he did have the
Speaker 2: one amazing catch, but he had some drops where he
Speaker 2: left some meat on the bone. And this just feels like,
Speaker 2: in either direction a three point game, And so if
Speaker 2: I'm getting the three and a half, I really like it.
Speaker 2: This feels like a twenty to seventeen game in one
Speaker 2: direction or the other. All the trends seem to like
Speaker 2: me on this. Winston is eight nineteen and one against
Speaker 2: the spread in his career, Dennis Allen is one of
Speaker 2: the worst covering coaches ever thirty nine percent against the spread,
Speaker 2: and Alan is five twelve and two against spreading divisional games.
Speaker 2: And the Bucks, who weren't that good last year, swept
Speaker 2: New Orleans last year. Go ahead, de Monte looks.
Speaker 3: Like Bays Definitely.
Speaker 4: I think Tampa Bay is gonna win that game, by
Speaker 4: the way, And also I think if New Orleans ends
Speaker 4: up winning the game, the Jets are going to be
Speaker 4: really sick.
Speaker 3: That they didn't call Jamis Winston a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Well that listen, that is a great point on the
Speaker 2: Jameis Winston thing, because now with Carr hurt, Winston's not available,
Speaker 2: and if they had called him right when Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: got hurt, they probably could have gotten him. I know,
Speaker 2: I think that is a really good point, and he
Speaker 2: would have been one of if not my first phone call.
Speaker 2: All right, what's the next game?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Cleveland minus two and a half versus Baltimore.
Speaker 2: All right, you hate this pick? I know you want
Speaker 2: to go ahead and tell me why you hate it.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't. I don't. Necessarily I don't. I
Speaker 3: don't hate it.
Speaker 4: Obviously, if you're gonna bet against Baltimore, I don't love it,
Speaker 4: but it's it's that's fair. But I think this will be,
Speaker 4: like I said a couple of days ago, I think
Speaker 4: this will be a very good test of our strength.
Speaker 4: We've obviously got a few injuries going on, and Cleveland's
Speaker 4: got that great defense, so it'll be.
Speaker 2: This good template. Listen, I don't believe in Cleveland's offense
Speaker 2: at all, but this defense has been unbelievable. They've allowed
Speaker 2: twenty one first downs all year, They've allowed one touchdown
Speaker 2: all year. You have a banged up Ravens offensive line
Speaker 2: and a Ravens running back room that's injured once again,
Speaker 2: and I just think Cleveland at home is going to
Speaker 2: be able to beat the hell out of Baltimore, a
Speaker 2: Baltimore team that's already beaten up. I only have to
Speaker 2: lay two and a half, so a field goal wins enough. Now,
Speaker 2: am I afraid of DeShawn Is screwing this up? I
Speaker 2: absolutely am. But that defense thus far has been the
Speaker 2: best defense in the NFL by far. Now, part of
Speaker 2: that is who they've played. I get it. You play
Speaker 2: an injured Joe Burrow, you play Ryan Tannehill, you play oh, gosh,
Speaker 2: what's the other Cleveland game? Oh, the Steelers and Kenny Pickett.
Speaker 2: I understand you're not playing great offenses, but Baltimore right now,
Speaker 2: their offense is a work in progress. Again, I'm laying
Speaker 2: less than a field goal, and especially with the fact
Speaker 2: that Ronnie Stanley and Tyler Lindenbaum are either gonna miss
Speaker 2: the game or not be one hundred percent, I like
Speaker 2: Cleveland minus the two and a half, all right.
Speaker 4: Next, we got Kansas City minus nine and a half
Speaker 4: at the Jets.
Speaker 2: Okay, so the Chiefs are not great at covering big numbers.
Speaker 2: In the last six times they've been favored by a
Speaker 2: touchdown or more than one in five against the spread.
Speaker 2: And I'm pretty sure that the one was last week
Speaker 2: against Chicago. This is a different type of situation though,
Speaker 2: because the Jets are not going to be able to
Speaker 2: score more than ten points. They're just not. So are
Speaker 2: the Chiefs going to be able to score twenty plus? Obviously,
Speaker 2: has the Jets defense up to this point been overrated,
Speaker 2: Yes it has. It is a league average defense or
Speaker 2: slightly right around league average or worse across the board,
Speaker 2: rush defense, past defense, total defense, points, all of it.
Speaker 2: You have a little strife within the team. You have
Speaker 2: the fact that Kansas City, I think right now what
Speaker 2: you're going to see is a great defense really putting
Speaker 2: the Jets in negative field position and in very difficult
Speaker 2: spots throughout the football game, and the Chiefs being a
Speaker 2: dominating time of possession, having the ball in Jets territory
Speaker 2: all night, and even if they don't have a dynamic
Speaker 2: offensive performance, twenty four points will be more than enough,
Speaker 2: pardon me, more than enough to cover this spread. And
Speaker 2: they they scored thirty four points in the first half
Speaker 2: last week. So I tend not to include the Chiefs
Speaker 2: and Knicks picks, and I certainly there has not been
Speaker 2: many times ever that I have included them as big
Speaker 2: favorites because I know they tend not to cover big lines.
Speaker 2: They play down to the level of their competition somewhat.
Speaker 2: This is not one of those spots. It's national television,
Speaker 2: it's it's Sunday night football, and it's against an opponent
Speaker 2: that I think is ready to fall apart. So I
Speaker 2: like the Chiefs laying the nine and a half.
Speaker 4: Do you go with discussing this so like black and white,
Speaker 4: like this, like this is happening, this is happening. This
Speaker 4: is this is like a yes, no thing. There's like
Speaker 4: a fact, not an opinion.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 2: You got a lot right aga Listen, the Jets. You
Speaker 2: have the worst quarterback in the league. They have the
Speaker 2: worst quarterback in the league, and their backup is the
Speaker 2: worst quarterback to ever make the NFL. So I mean,
Speaker 2: until Trevor Simion gets activated, they're not going to have
Speaker 2: a pulse at quarterback. The Chiefs can cover nine and
Speaker 2: a half if they I honestly think the Jets will
Speaker 2: not score more. I would the absolute maximum is thirteen.
Speaker 2: I think they're the likely outcome is ten, and I
Speaker 2: think there's a chance they don't crack seven. So covering
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, they have it, there is a possibility that
Speaker 2: they score. The Chiefs score seventeen points and cover this spread.
Speaker 4: All right, next, all right, you got Seattle plus one
Speaker 4: and a half at the Giants.
Speaker 2: Okay, So Daniel Jones obviously is a historically bad primetime
Speaker 2: quarterback in night games. He's five and eight against the spread,
Speaker 2: one in twelve straight up, zero to five right up
Speaker 2: in home night games. Now, I do actually think Daniel
Speaker 2: Jones gonna be able to move the ball. Seattle's defense
Speaker 2: has not been good. Now they've been banged up, they
Speaker 2: should be getting healthier. I don't think he's gonna be
Speaker 2: able to move the ball. But the problem is that
Speaker 2: Giants defense is not going to be able to slow
Speaker 2: down what I think is a potent Seattle offense that
Speaker 2: people just still refuse to believe in because they don't
Speaker 2: want to believe in Gino. So I'm getting what I
Speaker 2: believe to be the better team, the far better quarterback,
Speaker 2: and I'm getting a point and a half. So I mean,
Speaker 2: twenty one to twenty Giants. Somehow I win. I win
Speaker 2: with getting this point and a half, but I think
Speaker 2: Seattle wins outright. I understand that this is probably more
Speaker 2: of a square bet. I think a lot of the
Speaker 2: Sharper money's on the Giants, but I am I do
Speaker 2: not think the Giants defense can stop Seattle. I've been
Speaker 2: very unimpressed with the Giant defense all year. First game
Speaker 2: against the Cowboys, second game against the Cardinals. In the
Speaker 2: first half, they let Josh Dobbs roll all over him,
Speaker 2: and obviously the Niners did whatever they wanted, even though
Speaker 2: Purdy was wildly inaccurate in the first half of that game.
Speaker 2: So I liked the Seattle a lot. Here Seattle plus
Speaker 2: one and a half. So my five picks for the
Speaker 2: week Pittsburgh minus two and a half, Tampa getting three
Speaker 2: and a half, Cleveland minus two and a half, Kansidy
Speaker 2: laying a big number of nine and a half, and
Speaker 2: Seattle plus one and a half. All right, now, demons,
Speaker 2: let's go to your teaser. Last week, your teaser, Like
Speaker 2: my picks, two of them were just bad. I guess
Speaker 2: Baltimore wasn't Baltimore the only one that was. No, you're right,
Speaker 2: you're right. So you had Baltimore Tea's down to minus
Speaker 2: one and a half. They lost in overtime, so that
Speaker 2: one wasn't bad. You're correct. You have the Chargers plus six.
Speaker 2: They won out right, that was good, and then the
Speaker 2: Jags might as well one and a half, which made
Speaker 2: you lash out at Trevor Lawrence unfairly. What are you
Speaker 2: doing for your teaser this week?
Speaker 3: All right? Man?
Speaker 4: This week we got a three team six point teaser
Speaker 4: at plus one forty.
Speaker 3: So.
Speaker 4: I don't know what you guys's lines are looking like
Speaker 4: at home, but mine was Houston plus three. We're teasing
Speaker 4: them up to plus nine, Green Bay at plus one
Speaker 4: and a half to plus seven and a half, and
Speaker 4: then Chicago getting nine and a half from on.
Speaker 2: The screen it says Arizona. But in the dollar you
Speaker 2: had Chicago. Oh no, no, no, no, so Arizon.
Speaker 4: It is Arizona. That's my mistake. Initially it was Chicago.
Speaker 4: We took Chicago out. It's Arizona from plus fourteen to twenty.
Speaker 3: I could. I could not pass that one up.
Speaker 2: I had to take that getting a full twenty, yeah,
Speaker 2: full twenty with Arizona against.
Speaker 4: The game, and if we get a touchdown somehow, we're
Speaker 4: up twenty eight twenty seven.
Speaker 3: So hey, I like it.
Speaker 2: All right, listen, this is as far as value goes.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give this a B plus Houston. The plus
Speaker 2: three to plus nine is obviously oddly, it's like a
Speaker 2: better teaser leg if it were plus two and a half,
Speaker 2: because then you're buying the three and but that's it's fine.
Speaker 2: Green Bay is a great teaser leg, a great teaser leg.
Speaker 2: And Arizona you're doing the sharper thing, which is most
Speaker 2: people when there's a huge spread, they tease down the favorite.
Speaker 2: You're teasing up the underdog, which I respect. I am
Speaker 2: a little nervous for you. On the stomach punch loss
Speaker 2: on Houston. Yeah, and by that I mean Houston is
Speaker 2: down six, there's twelve seconds left, they're on their own
Speaker 2: thirty and all of a sudden, it's just Scott Van
Speaker 2: Pelt would say the pitchy pitchy woo woo lateral play
Speaker 2: and you and now TJ. Watt is recovering a fumble
Speaker 2: and walking it into the end zone. I could I
Speaker 2: could see that coming to screw you for some reason.
Speaker 2: But I give this a B plus. I think there's
Speaker 2: some real value there. I think it's sharp. You're not
Speaker 2: teasing across any zeros. You're getting some key numbers. I
Speaker 2: like it. I like this for you. By the way,
Speaker 2: how are are you? How are you making these bets?
Speaker 2: Because you're not making them with me? And you know what,
Speaker 2: don't answer this question because California, you can't do it.
Speaker 2: So don't even answer these questions. If I find out
Speaker 2: you're doing like late midnight runs to Vegas, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be partially proud and partially concerned. But I'm sure you've
Speaker 2: got I'm sure you've got someone else. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: good for you.
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 2: What are we doing this week? For the offer?
Speaker 4: So we're headed back to the casino this week. You've
Speaker 4: you've only went one for three on slots last week,
Speaker 4: so let's hit the tah last week.
Speaker 2: By the way, though, on the player prop, I initially said,
Speaker 2: Jimmy g to throw a pick. We couldn't find the
Speaker 2: odds on it in time, so I didn't do it.
Speaker 2: He threw three and then I landed on Isaiah Pacheco
Speaker 2: anytime touchdown and he scored the other ones. I did
Speaker 2: not win, but I did very profitable thus far at
Speaker 2: the casino for the offer. Go ahead.
Speaker 4: Uh, so we're gonna play parlay poker today. Your goal
Speaker 4: is to pick a hand that you're going all in on.
Speaker 4: Also known as a parlay out of the cards, out
Speaker 4: of the cards dealt. So I'm pretty sure I'm going
Speaker 4: to show a graphic up here for those watching on
Speaker 4: YouTube here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this's like video poker, all right. So my
Speaker 2: hand that I have been dealt is the Chiefs money
Speaker 2: line and the Niners money line at minus four ten
Speaker 2: and plus nine fifty. Okay, all right, go ahead, and
Speaker 2: now what do we have? The flop as they've put
Speaker 2: it up, there is Dak plus two and a half
Speaker 2: touchdowns at plus one forty, a Field's interception at minus
Speaker 2: one thirty, Miami over twenty six and a half at
Speaker 2: minus one ten. I gotta be honest, I don't like
Speaker 2: any of those Dak over two and a half touchdowns
Speaker 2: against the Patriots defense. I don't like Fields to throw
Speaker 2: a pick. I don't know how often he's gonna throw
Speaker 2: the ball against Denver, and I'm laying negative juice and
Speaker 2: Miami over twenty six and a half feels like I
Speaker 2: almost like the the under more in that spot, but
Speaker 2: I would stay away, all right. The turn is the
Speaker 2: prince that was promised over two hundred and forty two
Speaker 2: point five rushing yards or passing yards pardon me. I
Speaker 2: really like that one, so we'll do that. And then
Speaker 2: because the Trevor Lawrence in London, back on his home turf,
Speaker 2: you know, in the Sunday morning game by the way
Speaker 2: to Montay. Are you gonna get up at for six
Speaker 2: thirty in the morning, la time to watch that Trevor
Speaker 2: Lawrence game. Probably not.
Speaker 3: It's got no reason to watch Trevor Lawrence at six in.
Speaker 2: The morning, Okay, all right? And then the last one
Speaker 2: Baltimore minus six and a half at plus two seventy five.
Speaker 2: I'm obviously not doing that because I took Cleveland minus
Speaker 2: two and a half. So here's the deal. There's only three.
Speaker 2: I like the Chief's money line, the Niners money line,
Speaker 2: and the prints over two hundred and forty two hundred
Speaker 2: and forty two passing yards. That's it. That plays that
Speaker 2: pays plus one point fifty seven. I like that. The
Speaker 2: Niners are not gonna lose, the Chiefs are not gonna lose.
Speaker 2: So I'm really getting plus nearly one sixty odds on
Speaker 2: is Trevor going to throw for you know, at least
Speaker 2: two hundred and forty five yards in the early Sunday
Speaker 2: morning game live from London against the Atlanta Falcons. I
Speaker 2: like that. I like that a lot. We're gonna go
Speaker 2: ahead and take that. We will answer your questions in
Speaker 2: the chat next. What's right? All right, welcome back in
Speaker 2: Demon's I gotta get to the TV show. So let's
Speaker 2: just pick a couple of these questions. Start with Vincent's
Speaker 2: question up top, Let's go there.
Speaker 4: Vincent Pennsylvan Pensyvan asked, what makes this team better than
Speaker 4: the Brooklyn Big Three? Milwaukee just lost their best guard defender.
Speaker 4: I understand the move, but I'm just not but it's
Speaker 4: just not a home run as everyone else thinks it is.
Speaker 2: Okay, so a million things different than the Brooklyn Big Three.
Speaker 2: One is Milwaukee has proof of concept that they can
Speaker 2: win with a team built around Giannis. Brooklyn had no
Speaker 2: roof of concept. Durant had won, but Durant had only
Speaker 2: won in Golden State, so that's first of all. Second
Speaker 2: of all, Yiannis is better than any player Brooklyn had.
Speaker 2: Durant's awesome Giannis is better. Third of all, Dame is
Speaker 2: a far more reliable and dependable player than Kyrie Irving,
Speaker 2: so it and the idea comparing the two to me
Speaker 2: is ignores what Kyrie has been over the better part
Speaker 2: of the last decade versus what Dame has been over
Speaker 2: the better part of the last decade. And you're not
Speaker 2: microwaving chemistry all of a sudden between all these different
Speaker 2: hardened Kyrie Durant guys who had never been together. It's
Speaker 2: just you're just adding one piece. And Damian Lillard. Now,
Speaker 2: there is obviously question about the new head coach, Adrian Griffin,
Speaker 2: like there were questions about Nash, but the odds are
Speaker 2: I mean, he would Nash was in over his head immediately.
Speaker 2: That the hope is and the belief is Griffin won't
Speaker 2: be And Terry Statts is there who coached Dame for
Speaker 2: damn near a decade on the bench store that to
Speaker 2: me is not concerned significantly. All right, let's do Herbie
Speaker 2: Husker Demonsey Herbie Husker thirteen.
Speaker 4: With all the talk about TUA, what sort of performance
Speaker 4: will be needed from Mahomes this year to.
Speaker 3: Be respected as MVP? Oh repeat it as MVP, sir.
Speaker 2: Well, it's just very very early, guys. We're three weeks
Speaker 2: in and I would just like to remind the audience
Speaker 2: and again, I think that the Dolphins have been awesome,
Speaker 2: and I think Twuoa has been awesome, but it does
Speaker 2: weren't mentioning that last year. And this is what is
Speaker 2: so surprising to me. Last year, TUA in Week two
Speaker 2: had a six touchdown game. TUA last year through three
Speaker 2: weeks the team was three and zero with victories over
Speaker 2: New England, who was coming off the playoffs, Baltimore and Buffalo,
Speaker 2: and two add eight touchdowns, two picks in a one
Speaker 2: to eighteen rating, and people were like, I think two
Speaker 2: is the MVB. And now last year obviously he got
Speaker 2: hurt which derailed it, but there's just a long long
Speaker 2: ways to go. Also, be very ready for people if
Speaker 2: Miami loses this game, because there is nothing the media
Speaker 2: likes more than just consistently putting the cart before the
Speaker 2: horse on Josh Allen, be ready for the Josh Allen
Speaker 2: MVP talk to get going. And if the Niners annihilate
Speaker 2: the Cardinals, get ready for someone around Wednesday of next
Speaker 2: week to say this, hey guys, why isn't brock Purty
Speaker 2: getting more in the MVP discussion. But it's a long season,
Speaker 2: so the I'm not that interested in the MVP stuff
Speaker 2: right now. Mahomes will obviously be in it in the
Speaker 2: discussion all year long, and I think on Sunday Night football,
Speaker 2: when he lights up the Jets, he'll be in He'll
Speaker 2: be in really strong position. As the calendar gets ready
Speaker 2: to turn to October. All right, we got a run.
Speaker 2: Demon's say, great job. Enjoy this weekend. I'm gonna call
Speaker 2: you repeatedly. I might even do that little thing where
Speaker 2: I make your phone start pinging like you lost it
Speaker 2: right when the Jags game kicks off to wake you
Speaker 2: up Sunday morning.
Speaker 3: You get that'd actually be really rude to you to do.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna well, I guess we'll wait and see.
Speaker 2: Talk to you guys on TV today at three o'clock.
Speaker 2: What's right, cho
