Speaker 1: It's time to place your bets. Let's talk to the pros.
Speaker 1: Welcome in everybody to betting pros. It's me, Joey p
Speaker 1: Joe Zapia and today, Oh Baby, we're gonna have our
Speaker 1: NFC preview. Last week, in case you missed it, we
Speaker 1: had arial epstem from Sports Grid takeing us to the AFC.
Speaker 1: And today it's one of my favorite people, one of
Speaker 1: my members of Team Black book himself. You can check
Speaker 1: him out on the Action Network and Rodoviz and a
Speaker 1: whole lot of other places. He is always working and
Speaker 1: that's why I love him so much because he reminds
Speaker 1: me of me. He's the one, the only Mike Randall.
Speaker 1: You can follow him on Twitter at Randall Rant. Mikey,
Speaker 1: it is so nice to see you. I'm so used
Speaker 1: to in the years gone by, doing shows with you
Speaker 1: every week. Now we don't get to do that. So this,
Speaker 1: my friend, is a special treat to spend some quality
Speaker 1: time with you. Joey.
Speaker 2: It's about special moments, and this is certainly one of them.
Speaker 2: I am honored to be here. You and I have
Speaker 2: done great work together. Now we're doing on a video.
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk NFC Football's around the corner. Let's get
Speaker 2: after it.
Speaker 1: Let's get after a baby. So today we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about those divisions, how they're set up, and of course
Speaker 1: they're gonna be using Betting Pros. And if you haven't already,
Speaker 1: make sure you go over to Betting Pros and don't
Speaker 1: forget about our apps and everything that we offer here
Speaker 1: a Fantasy Pros too, that we can get all the
Speaker 1: updates on things that are going on when lines are moving.
Speaker 1: But betting Pros gives you that consensus, and if you're
Speaker 1: new to wagering, it's a great place because if there's
Speaker 1: wagers you like, you can always move over and find
Speaker 1: the betting house that you think have the best odds
Speaker 1: for that wager if you're really hot on it, and
Speaker 1: take advantage of it. So basically, it's like calling all
Speaker 1: the houses, having all of them one time, one stop
Speaker 1: shop and makes life a lot easier. And I like that.
Speaker 1: I like them. A busy guy, I need efficiency and
Speaker 1: that's what Betting Pros is going to give you. And
Speaker 1: let's start here with the NFC East. Oh, everybody's favorite division, Mike,
Speaker 1: because you know, it was so exciting to watch no
Speaker 1: team with a five hundred record in this division last year.
Speaker 1: But you know what, that Washington fotball team plucky. I
Speaker 1: enjoyed them. I was rooting for them. It was them
Speaker 1: against the world. With that incredible defense, One can only
Speaker 1: imagine that defense will be better. Ryan Fitzpatrick comes into
Speaker 1: that division. The Cowboys hopefully will have Dak Prescott healthy
Speaker 1: and ready to rock in Week one. Then there's the
Speaker 1: Giants and the Eagles. The Cowboys, though, are the favorite.
Speaker 1: Of course they are because they're the public team. Plus
Speaker 1: one forty five on the Cowboys, the Washington football team
Speaker 1: plus two thirty the Giants at plus three seventy five,
Speaker 1: and plus five hundred for the Philadelphia Eagles, And again
Speaker 1: these are the consensus betting pros numbers. So when you
Speaker 1: look at the East, Mike, obviously, every time you look
Speaker 1: at the Cowboys the Yankees teams like that, there's always
Speaker 1: that big public money and that kind of influences the spread.
Speaker 1: But is this plus one forty five actually a pretty
Speaker 1: good number on a Cowboys team that has an offense
Speaker 1: that is really just ready to rock and roll.
Speaker 2: It's a decent number, But I have questions about the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: Their defense was so bad last year that they spent
Speaker 2: the first six picks in the NFL draft on defense.
Speaker 2: Dak has returned and the offense was exploding when he
Speaker 2: was there and healthy last year over thirty points per game.
Speaker 2: But my problem, Joe is the offensive line isn't quite
Speaker 2: as elite as it used to be and the defense
Speaker 2: is revamped in comes dan Quinn Listen. Dan Quinn struggled
Speaker 2: in Atlanta, had the peak moment with the Super Bowl
Speaker 2: went downhill. I don't know if he's the defensive guru
Speaker 2: to solve the problem. So I like plus money with Dallas,
Speaker 2: but I don't think they're going to win the division.
Speaker 2: I'm going to go in a different direction. And as
Speaker 2: you said, America backs the Cowboys. That's always going to
Speaker 2: inflate that number.
Speaker 1: All right, So who do you like, Harey? Is it
Speaker 1: the Washington football team defense with an actual quarterback, because
Speaker 1: last year, I mean the quarterback play was let's just
Speaker 1: say MESSI is that? Is that a kind way of
Speaker 1: putting it?
Speaker 2: Seven and nine with Alex Smith, Dwayne Haskins, and Kyle
Speaker 2: Allen at quarterback. Their defense last year third in defensive DVOA,
Speaker 2: second against the pass. I like to look, Joe, in
Speaker 2: these divisions at the most reliable unit, and that unit
Speaker 2: is the Washington defense.
Speaker 3: In this division.
Speaker 2: There's no chance that Iron Vera defense is going to
Speaker 2: come in and not be elite. So they bring in
Speaker 2: Ryan Fitzpatrick. That's going to be better quarterback play. Their
Speaker 2: offensive line should be better, and they won the division
Speaker 2: last year with that limited quarterback production. Antonio Gibson, by
Speaker 2: the way, he used to be a wide receiver. Now
Speaker 2: they're finally using him in the passing game. So many weapons, consistency,
Speaker 2: and they almost won a playoff game with Taylor Heineke.
Speaker 2: My favorite is Washington. I think they should be a
Speaker 2: favorite on the board. I like him here to win
Speaker 2: the division once again. You and I see eye to eye,
Speaker 2: and that's why I.
Speaker 1: Enjoy doing shows of you. Sometimes there's debate, but I'm
Speaker 1: with you, man, I think Washington might just win this out.
Speaker 1: You're right. This is the best unit there defensively by far.
Speaker 1: And also if they could just get enough offense. And
Speaker 1: there's already some talk about Antonio Gibson getting a CMC
Speaker 1: like workload. Ooh, baby, sign me up for that in fantasy.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's possible.
Speaker 3: What's funny Joe is. They've said that about JD.
Speaker 2: Mcizzick and Antonio Gibson and all the running backs there.
Speaker 2: But the big key to me is the one set
Speaker 2: I like to look at is the re result in
Speaker 2: close games, one score games. Last year, Washington was three
Speaker 2: and five oho and three in games decided by three points,
Speaker 2: that usually regresses. I'll take last year's division champion.
Speaker 3: With a little bit of positive regression.
Speaker 1: I love that. The positive regression. I like to be positive.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to the north. Here, the
Speaker 1: Packers are at the top heavy favorites minus one seventy seven.
Speaker 1: That's the consensus betting pro's number. Then you have the
Speaker 1: Vikings at plus three hundred, the Bears at plus five
Speaker 1: point fifty, the Lions at plus twenty five hundred. God
Speaker 1: bless them, they're so sweet, the Lions, right, So let's
Speaker 1: leave them out of it. You know, justin Fields gave
Speaker 1: some people something to think about, certainly some excitement in
Speaker 1: that first preseason game, running around making some plays. The
Speaker 1: Vikings defense seems on paper to be going in the
Speaker 1: right direction, although my goodness, Mike Zimmer was none too
Speaker 1: happy with his defense against the Broncos last week and
Speaker 1: their performance. Is this just a foregone conclusion you stay
Speaker 1: away from this division because the Packers and Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: kind of have something to prove.
Speaker 3: Yet again, no, it's not.
Speaker 2: And I'm going with the Vikings and I love that
Speaker 2: performance because it's going to sync the number. The key question,
Speaker 2: and you and Ariel talked about that last week, is
Speaker 2: the Vikings defense at home. First off, they were affected
Speaker 2: by no crowd noise. You talked about that in Minnesota.
Speaker 2: That's going to return last year? No, Danielle Hunter, he
Speaker 2: was fifth and sacks in twenty nineteen, Anthony Barr, Eric
Speaker 2: Kendrix linebackers combined miss nineteen games, and defensive tackle run
Speaker 2: stopper Michael Pierce he opted out because of COVID. They
Speaker 2: signed Patrick Peterson, They signed Bashad brielin. I think the
Speaker 2: defense returns again. I bank on Mike Zimmer at home.
Speaker 2: He has a great number against the spread and they're
Speaker 2: very tough to beat. And by the way, in the
Speaker 2: last nine games between the Packers and the Vikings, because
Speaker 2: if you're going to win this division, you have to
Speaker 2: be able to beat Green Bay Minnesota five three and one.
Speaker 2: I look for a bounce back in the vikings. I
Speaker 2: like the number of plus three hundred. I grabbed it earlier.
Speaker 2: Now that Rogers is back, I think the money and
Speaker 2: the public sentiment is going too far in the Packers' way.
Speaker 3: I like the vikings here in the NFC North.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not the biggest Aaron Rodgers fan. I
Speaker 1: have great respect for Aaron Rodgers, so this kind of
Speaker 1: warms the cockles of my heart when you say things
Speaker 1: like that. And I remember last year too, they went
Speaker 1: in there to Green Bay and they put a whooping
Speaker 1: on them. That was a fun game. Not if you're
Speaker 1: a Packers fan, but if you're a football fan. That
Speaker 1: was kind of a fun game last season. Always weird
Speaker 1: not to see people in lambeau Field for that game,
Speaker 1: but still a great stat there with the head to head.
Speaker 1: Because you're right, it is gonna come down to them.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Bears are quite ready yet, but
Speaker 1: certainly keep a team to keep our eyes on. Let's
Speaker 1: move over to the South. Ear very different South, I
Speaker 1: think year over year because Drew Brees is gone. The
Speaker 1: Buccaneers the defending, reigning undisputed champs minus two hundred, but
Speaker 1: the Saints at plus three point fifty, the Falcons plus
Speaker 1: eight hundred, the Panthers at plus one thousand. Now you know,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a Tom Brady guy. That's that's well known
Speaker 1: here in the course, well documented, well revered, but justified, justified.
Speaker 1: This is to me is the Bucks again that defense
Speaker 1: so good, Tom Brady, so good, having fun, loving life.
Speaker 1: The only thing that could stop the Bucks for me,
Speaker 1: from winning this division is just a rash of injuries,
Speaker 1: including maybe even Brady. That's the only thing that I
Speaker 1: think can hold them back. Because even if they have
Speaker 1: an injury to say a Fournett or Ronald Jones, well,
Speaker 1: you still got running back depth here on the team.
Speaker 1: You have wide receiver depth on the team. You have
Speaker 1: some young guys too who can fill in and step up.
Speaker 1: We saw that even last year at times happen. But
Speaker 1: I mean when you look at ab and Chris Evans
Speaker 1: and Godwin, and you look at the Saints and what's
Speaker 1: become of them now between no Drew Brees and the
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas drama that's unfolding in front of us here
Speaker 1: with his injury and whether or not he ever comes
Speaker 1: back and plays it down for them, I mean, the
Speaker 1: Falcons are gonna rebuild. Is this a hard stay away
Speaker 1: for you? And when you're look at it at this South.
Speaker 2: It's the Bucks and there's no competition here. Once Michael
Speaker 2: Thomas went down the changeover in quarterback, I can't go
Speaker 2: with the Saints Santsa with a great defense. We're certainly
Speaker 2: not going with the Falcons with a first year head
Speaker 2: coach and the Panthers.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: However, I don't mind minus two hundred going with the
Speaker 2: Bucks because I think they're the clear division favorite. I
Speaker 2: think they're one of the strongest favorites in the entire NFL.
Speaker 2: But another area I want to look at is Carolina's
Speaker 2: over under number. I'm taking the Panthers over seven and
Speaker 2: a half. I think that number is too low. I
Speaker 2: think it's a second year. Now we're talking about the
Speaker 2: coaching staff, Matt Rules. Second year Sam Darnald comes in.
Speaker 3: Joe.
Speaker 2: Sam Darnald's reputation went down the drain because we heard
Speaker 2: him say the phrase I'm seeing ghosts.
Speaker 3: If there was no mic.
Speaker 2: And that did not happen, we would not be thinking
Speaker 2: so low about Sam Darnald. He's had terrible offensive line play.
Speaker 2: Carolina should provide that a little bit better than he
Speaker 2: has in the past, and most importantly, Carolina's strength. The
Speaker 2: schedule thirteenth overall, but they get off to a great start.
Speaker 3: Listen to the teams.
Speaker 2: Carolina plays to start home Jets at Houston home Philly.
Speaker 2: That's four home games in the first six weeks.
Speaker 3: They were three and eight one score games.
Speaker 2: They were zero and three in games decided by three
Speaker 2: points or less. They played Tampa Bay in weeks sixteen
Speaker 2: and eighteen, which means Tampa Bay could be resting because
Speaker 2: they could have locked up division. So I'm all in
Speaker 2: on the Bucks. There is no challenge here from the
Speaker 2: Saints or anyone else. But I also like Carolina is over,
Speaker 2: which is seven and a half.
Speaker 1: Week eighteen still sounds weird to me when you say it.
Speaker 1: I just I still gotta still gotta wrap my mind
Speaker 1: around week eighteen. But I'm with you, man, I think
Speaker 1: that Sam Darnold can really turn things around here. Joe
Speaker 1: Brady one of the best play callers in my opinion,
Speaker 1: the soon to be head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals
Speaker 1: in a year from now. That's that's what I think. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we'll see if I'm right. Is there money I can
Speaker 1: put on that somewhere because I'd like to Randall if
Speaker 1: I could, I'd like to put money on possible.
Speaker 2: The Bengals don't like to pay for coaches though that
Speaker 2: that aren't there, so I might have no choice.
Speaker 1: I have no choice with with the with the crowd
Speaker 1: they're putting together, with Burrow and jamar Chas and those guys,
Speaker 1: it just feels like the right fit. But I'm with
Speaker 1: you one hundred percent. I do like that Panther's number
Speaker 1: as well on the over because you get that healthy
Speaker 1: CMC back Donald with something to prove, a lot of
Speaker 1: good stuff there and some winnable games. You know, the Saints.
Speaker 1: You know, the Saints got old. The Saints kind of
Speaker 1: had their window and it's kind of stopped. And I
Speaker 1: don't know, man Taysom Hill, Teddy Bridgewater, I mean to
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill and James Winston. It's just the lack of
Speaker 1: decision here on that really just kind of puts me
Speaker 1: in a tough spot when it comes to the Saints.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, Marcus Calloy listen great for fantasy with
Speaker 2: the options and the value he has, not great that
Speaker 2: he's your top wide receiver for at least Joe seven
Speaker 2: to eight games and maybe longer this year for New Orleans.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go over to the very competitive division here,
Speaker 1: which is the West. You got the Rams of plus
Speaker 1: two hundred, the forty nine Ers can send his number
Speaker 1: plus two hundred, then the Seahawks plus two seventy five,
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals at plus six hundred. So look, I
Speaker 1: like the Cardinals. I like Kyler Murray. I think they're
Speaker 1: going to be fun to watch. The play calling still
Speaker 1: sometimes is questionable, but I think it's a three team division.
Speaker 1: How do you see this one working out? Because I'm curious,
Speaker 1: this is very tight. You have Russell Wilson, you have
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford now in town, and who knows, Trey Lance
Speaker 1: could even be the Week one starter. I still think
Speaker 1: it's unlikely, But will a Jimmy Garoppolo gets hurt. It
Speaker 1: might be sooner than later, just because whether they like
Speaker 1: it or not. How do you see the West here unfolding?
Speaker 1: From a wagering perspective? With these teams so close plus
Speaker 1: two hundred Rams, plus two hundred nine Ers and plus
Speaker 1: two seventy five Seahawks.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna call Coolio because this is a better's Paradise
Speaker 2: the NFC West, it's between the Rams in San Francisco.
Speaker 2: For me, I'm gonna toss Seattle out. Their offensive line
Speaker 2: is always in shambles, and sure the book has been
Speaker 2: on Russell Wilson that he starts slow and he's like
Speaker 2: a quarterback fought fourteen in fantasy and then he has
Speaker 2: a miraculous finish.
Speaker 3: Last year it was reverse.
Speaker 2: We're talking about Russell Wilson, no doubt MVP, and then
Speaker 2: things slow down. I know Pete Carroll gets a defense together.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna put them a notch below. It's the Rams
Speaker 2: of San Francisco, and I'm gonna go with San Francisco
Speaker 2: for three reasons. First is the rushing attack. Center Alex
Speaker 2: Mack is now back with Kyle Shanahan, and that should
Speaker 2: be huge for their offensive line. If we can just
Speaker 2: get his sweating problems done, Joe, he's having a lot
Speaker 2: of sweating problems on the exchange with the ball to
Speaker 2: the quarterback. Everything should be fine. Maybe he's just excited
Speaker 2: to be there. But that offensive line with Trent Williams,
Speaker 2: who's the highest graded tackle per PFF, is going to
Speaker 2: be solid. Let's talk about their running backs. Raheem Moster,
Speaker 2: Trey Sermon, of course, is shooting up fantasy draft boards.
Speaker 2: Jamichael Hasty impressed in Week one. They have a litany
Speaker 2: of running backs that are impressive. Second reason is the schedule.
Speaker 2: They get the AFC South along with the Falcons, Bengals, Eagles,
Speaker 2: and Lions. They have the easiest strength of schedule per
Speaker 2: Warren Sharp in the league, and it's not close. Lastly,
Speaker 2: the Niners just need some injury regression. Last year they
Speaker 2: won six and ten. Jimmy Garoppolo out for ten games,
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel nine, Nick Bosa, d Ford miss time, and
Speaker 2: Moster was out for eight. When they were healthy, was
Speaker 2: only two games. What happened Week six and seven? Beat
Speaker 2: the Rams and one at New England. Give me Kyle Shanahan,
Speaker 2: give me some average quarterback play, and I think they
Speaker 2: should go over their win total, which is ten and
Speaker 2: a half. People think that's high. There's a reason it's high, folks.
Speaker 2: I like the forty nine ers in the NFC West.
Speaker 2: I think this is gonna be competitive. I think it's
Speaker 2: gonna be down the wire. But I'm gonna take the
Speaker 2: Rams in this one. And here's why.
Speaker 1: I think Matthew Stafford unleashed now is going to be
Speaker 1: very different. Matt Stafford, You're basically taking one of the
Speaker 1: more underrated quarterbacks in the game and taking possibly one
Speaker 1: of the worst places you could possibly be and dropping
Speaker 1: him one of them the best offensive mines in football
Speaker 1: and Sean McVay. You've got a bunch of wide receivers
Speaker 1: to throw the football. You've got a really good tight
Speaker 1: end in Tyler Higbee. I do think the cam Akers
Speaker 1: injury does hurt them. I'm still curious to see if
Speaker 1: they pick up somebody else, but hey, maybe they do
Speaker 1: like the kids that they have, Maybe Jones and Funker
Speaker 1: guys that they like. We'll see, But I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: it feels to me like Aaron Donald in this defense.
Speaker 1: What this team was really lacking was, you know, the
Speaker 1: quarterback play. Jared Goff just could not get it done
Speaker 1: in the big spots. I think Matthew Stafford will and
Speaker 1: I think as much as I love Trey Lance, and
Speaker 1: I do, I am mister Trey Lance at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, I just have a hard time thinking
Speaker 1: that the rookie can take Hi past Matt Stafford. This
Speaker 1: is gonna be a fascinating division I think it's fun
Speaker 1: that neither of us went Seahawks in it, even though
Speaker 1: that's the best number.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I have no problem.
Speaker 2: I think Stafford's gonna have a monster year, and I
Speaker 2: think the injury to camp Akers means he's going to
Speaker 2: even more. I'm just a little headstand with the Rams
Speaker 2: offensive line a little bit old. The defense is certainly solid.
Speaker 2: I have no problem with that at all. I think
Speaker 2: it's a coin flit between those two teams. I do
Speaker 2: put seat a little bit behind these other two. All right,
Speaker 2: let's take a look now at the NFC. The winners.
Speaker 1: Potentially we have the Bucks at plus three hundred. Here
Speaker 1: the favorites, of course, Actually the three to one actually
Speaker 1: have a better number than I thought you'd get on the Bucks.
Speaker 1: If you can find anything above that, get on there
Speaker 1: and take it. Because I know it's boring. I know
Speaker 1: it's frustrating, folks. I know you hate Tom Brady, but
Speaker 1: this is a really complete football team, and it's got continuity,
Speaker 1: and that is a tough thing to break. It's the
Speaker 1: continuity year over year, the fact that these guys really
Speaker 1: enjoy each other's company that goes a long way. Like
Speaker 1: this whole good vibes thing. It's not something to overrate.
Speaker 1: It's something that actually is investible in a lot of ways.
Speaker 1: Plus three hundred there for the Buccaneers, the Packers at
Speaker 1: plus five point fifty, your forty nine ers. That's why
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call them your forty nine ers out plus
Speaker 1: six fifty, and of course the Rams at that same number,
Speaker 1: plus six fifty. So of the favorites. To me, Mike,
Speaker 1: when I look at this board, I see the Bucks
Speaker 1: and I see the Rams. Those are the two teams
Speaker 1: I could see coming out of the NFC. I just
Speaker 1: have a hard time. Aaron Rodgers, you know, in the
Speaker 1: big spot, just always comes up short, just what history
Speaker 1: has taught us. And you know, the forty nine ers again,
Speaker 1: you gotta get past Brady, you gotta get past Stafford
Speaker 1: the playoffs and on and Aaron Rodgers or some combination.
Speaker 1: I find that a little hard to believe. But for you,
Speaker 1: is there certain place or places you would want to
Speaker 1: place bets?
Speaker 2: Yeah, for the favorites, those are fine, and I think
Speaker 2: plus three hundred for Tampa Bay is very strong, given
Speaker 2: that they're probably gonna have home field advantage. Well coached,
Speaker 2: as long as there's no major injuries. You said, I
Speaker 2: think they should be fine. I have concerns with the
Speaker 2: Packers the offensive line. Corey Lindsay is now with the Chargers.
Speaker 2: Rick Wagner now with the Ravens. They have David Bactiari,
Speaker 2: of course, the master Chugger from my Milwaukee Bucks title
Speaker 2: run there in the Fiord.
Speaker 1: When did you become a Bucks fan? What did that know? Oh?
Speaker 2: Yes, I've been a Bucks fan. I have a good
Speaker 2: friend that works for the Bucks. Here fear the deer
Speaker 2: Bucks and six of course Joe. Okay, but they reputation
Speaker 2: of the Packers defense to me is still soft per PFF.
Speaker 2: They were ranked twenty first and twenty seventh in pressure
Speaker 2: rate the last two years. Their secondary, by the way,
Speaker 2: is a little overrated. Jay R Alexander fantastic all pro.
Speaker 2: But everyone else I'm not sure about that. I don't
Speaker 2: like the Packers there. I would roll with the Niners
Speaker 2: as well. I think the Niners, like I said, injury
Speaker 2: regression is going to make a big, big difference, so
Speaker 2: with the favorites for me, if you want to go Bucks,
Speaker 2: I'm fine with it.
Speaker 3: Also like the Niners of plus six fifty.
Speaker 1: All right, did anybody ever tell you you look like
Speaker 1: you could be a head coach, especially with the with
Speaker 1: the hat and the outfit today. You really I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here on the show here, and of course
Speaker 1: you can always watch us over on Betting Pros on
Speaker 1: the YouTube side of Fantasy Pros, and I'm looking at it.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Randal and thinking, this is like a
Speaker 1: press conference with a head coach here. The way you're
Speaker 1: all done up today.
Speaker 3: Well, and this was such a big thing for me.
Speaker 2: I went to look at al Pacino and his motivational
Speaker 2: speech about those inches. That's what I'm on the team.
Speaker 2: Jammie Fox is behind me, clapping right now.
Speaker 1: There you go. Jamie Fox actually his character and that
Speaker 1: reminds me a little justin Fields. I got a similar
Speaker 1: kind of swagger about them. That's the way I would
Speaker 1: go with that. All right. Some of the long shots here,
Speaker 1: and some are longer than others. You got the Seahawks
Speaker 1: plus eleven hundred, the Cowboys plus fifteen hundred, then the
Speaker 1: Saints of plus sixteen. That's lighting money on fire. Don't
Speaker 1: do that, boys and girls, the Vikings plus twenty two,
Speaker 1: the Cardinals plus twenty two, and then there's the Washington
Speaker 1: football team at plus twenty five hundred. Now, I'm an
Speaker 1: old school football guy, and there's something about playing defense
Speaker 1: in January, running the football that it works. It's one
Speaker 1: of those things that it really works. And if you
Speaker 1: could take one of those elite quarterbacks off the field,
Speaker 1: play defense, control the football. And what's the kryptonite of
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is a pass rush. Just you want way
Speaker 1: to beat hims, do put him on his rear end.
Speaker 1: That's something the Washington football team can do. If you're
Speaker 1: gonna sprinkle a little bit, Chips, the sprinkle for me
Speaker 1: on a long shot is the Washington football team this year.
Speaker 1: As crazy as that sounds, you're kind of not in
Speaker 1: your head. I feel like you're kind of feeling that
Speaker 1: too a little bit.
Speaker 3: You took the words out of my mouth.
Speaker 2: That's why a great mind think of like I want
Speaker 2: a defense and I want to run the ball, And
Speaker 2: that's why I like Minnesota plus twenty two hundred and
Speaker 2: I like Washington a plus twenty five hundred offensive line,
Speaker 2: stop the run pressure. Keep in mind Tampa Bay almost
Speaker 2: lost to Taylor Heineke. Just keep that in mind in
Speaker 2: the playoffs last year. That's the type of teams I
Speaker 2: want as much as my Saints had here without Michael Thomas.
Speaker 2: I just don't think they can do it. And they
Speaker 2: have to work out the quarterback play. Sean Payton's gonna
Speaker 2: do some great things with Taysom Hill. But I just
Speaker 2: think these other teams are better built for that win
Speaker 2: that they need in the cold Minnesota, Washington, no problem
Speaker 2: going on the road here. I like both of those.
Speaker 2: Plus twenty two hundred plus twenty five hundred, I will
Speaker 2: take it.
Speaker 1: Plus twenty five. You don't have to put that much
Speaker 1: on it, you know, put a little bit, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, if it starts to look good,
Speaker 1: then you double down later on. That's what you do.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take a look at some win totals
Speaker 1: and some player props in the NFC. Let's start with
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. We already kind of talked about the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, which I'm glad Mike brought it up, because
Speaker 1: that's a team that I think is not being taken
Speaker 1: as seriously as they should. Also, very young defense. They
Speaker 1: spent every single draft pick two years ago on defense,
Speaker 1: and they were very green. But if you walk closely
Speaker 1: last year that Carolina Panthers defense started to get it.
Speaker 1: They started to look very young athletic, and they weren't
Speaker 1: nearly as taken advantage of as they were in the
Speaker 1: first part of the season. I'm fascinated to see what
Speaker 1: that unit looks like in twenty twenty one. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about the Cardinals though. The number for them is eight
Speaker 1: and a half plus money on the over, plus one
Speaker 1: oh five minus one twenty five on the under. Ken
Speaker 1: and again we have to, like I said last week,
Speaker 1: we have to readjust our brains here about this eight number,
Speaker 1: because as not for No. Five hundred anymore. You're either
Speaker 1: a winning team or you're losing team unless you get
Speaker 1: a tie. And nobody likes that. Nobody eight and a half.
Speaker 1: That's the number. What do you do with the Cardinals here?
Speaker 1: Over under or stay away?
Speaker 2: Didn't share my notes with you prior to this, but
Speaker 2: you said five hundred, and that's the key number, Joe.
Speaker 2: In Cliff Kingsbury's career, both as a college coach and
Speaker 2: a pro coach, he has got over five hundred just
Speaker 2: twice in early years. He's getting this reputation as this
Speaker 2: is fake sharp in the fantasy community. Thirty five and
Speaker 2: forty career record in college as a head coach, thirteen
Speaker 2: eighteen and one as an NFL head coach. They were
Speaker 2: eight and eight last year when San Francisco was six
Speaker 2: and ten. I am taking the under here. I know
Speaker 2: they added JJ Watt, but they added a lot of
Speaker 2: older players, which during this year with COVID still as
Speaker 2: an issue, could be a problem. JJ Watt thirty two,
Speaker 2: AJ Green thirty three, Malcolm Butler thirty one. James Conner's
Speaker 2: twenty six, but he's had injury history, just came off
Speaker 2: the COVID list. The Cardinals face the sixth most difficult
Speaker 2: slate of pass defenses per Warren Sharp. I'll take the
Speaker 2: fake sharp Cliff Kingsbury, he will go under eight and
Speaker 2: a half.
Speaker 1: I love it, man, you crushing it all right. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the Dallas Cowboys. Here again the public money
Speaker 1: and sometimes I like to take advantage of this. Now
Speaker 1: the numbers nine and a half here plus one p
Speaker 1: fifteen on the over, minus one thirty five on the
Speaker 1: under on that nine and a half. So look, I
Speaker 1: know you talk about the defense being bad, but man,
Speaker 1: this feels like a team that could really just outscore
Speaker 1: everybody or at least most people to get to ten wins.
Speaker 1: Cowboys feel like a ten win team to me, especially
Speaker 1: cause they play the Eagles and the Giants twice. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta go three and one. You gotta imagine like
Speaker 1: that's three wins right there, at least in my mind.
Speaker 1: But what do you think about this team? I know
Speaker 1: they drafted Michael Parsons, I know they've made some moves
Speaker 1: here at least in the offseason, But nine and a half.
Speaker 1: Can they get to double digits? I feel like they can.
Speaker 2: I don't think any team in the NFL is more
Speaker 2: destined for nine and eight than the Dallas Cowboys. They
Speaker 2: have a defense that still I still think is gonna struggle.
Speaker 2: I don't think the offensive line is that much better
Speaker 2: than the defenses of both Washington and the Giants. By
Speaker 2: the way, in this division, the Cowboys get the public
Speaker 2: money that the number always gets inflated.
Speaker 3: Is Dak healthy? I think so?
Speaker 2: But the second arm MRI is a little concerning, and
Speaker 2: if you know, if he misses time, this team is
Speaker 2: going south. Little note here, Joe, since two thousand with Dallas,
Speaker 2: because they receive all the public money, they are fourteen
Speaker 2: and seven to the underwin total since two thousand, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna make at fifteen and seven. We will go under
Speaker 2: here with the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Very nice, Okay, all right, So we're gonna differ on
Speaker 1: that one. We're together on one. Different on the other.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Packers. The number is ten and
Speaker 1: a half minus one twenty on the over, plus one
Speaker 1: hundred on the under. So ten and a half. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's pretty strong season. Obviously a division that could be
Speaker 1: pretty competitive. Though, So when you're looking at this North
Speaker 1: and you're looking at the Packers here, can they get
Speaker 1: the over ten and a half? Is this number you
Speaker 1: like or don't this one?
Speaker 2: I'm staying away. I think it's the Vikings and the
Speaker 2: Packers clearly ahead of everyone else in the division. Lions
Speaker 2: I'm not into. I think the Bears are headed in
Speaker 2: the wrong direction. So could I see Minnesota Joe getting
Speaker 2: eleven wins and then the Packers also getting eleven in
Speaker 2: Minnesota winning the tiebreaker or possibly twelve and eleven?
Speaker 1: Sure.
Speaker 2: I don't like the defense. I think they're soft. I
Speaker 2: don't like the offensive line. I also have this thing
Speaker 2: with Mojo, you know, the whole thing with Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: in the offseason. I'm telling you who I want, Randall Cobb.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay away from this one. I could see,
Speaker 2: even though I'm down on the Packers, them cresting this number.
Speaker 3: So it's to stay away from.
Speaker 1: Me crusting this number. Nice vocab. I enjoy that. You
Speaker 1: come for the football, you stay for the vocab, everybody.
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams. The over under for the Rams this year.
Speaker 1: That number is ten and a half plus one twenty
Speaker 1: on the ten and a half. Getting nice number there
Speaker 1: on that minus one forty on the ten and a
Speaker 1: half on the under. So your thoughts here on the Rams? Again?
Speaker 1: Tough division, So what are your thoughts here on this one?
Speaker 2: Yeah, super competitive division, but the plus money on the
Speaker 2: over ten and a half is attractive to me. This
Speaker 2: is the most competitive division, but they could have two
Speaker 2: teams that are just that much better. Seattle is sort
Speaker 2: of the wildcar here, but the Rams do look solid.
Speaker 2: They can put points up. Aaron Donald Jalen Ramsey. The
Speaker 2: plus money is the key here. The fact that I'm
Speaker 2: getting plus one twenty if they can get eleven wins
Speaker 2: is too attractive to pass up. Even though I like
Speaker 2: San Francisco to possibly win the NFC.
Speaker 3: I'll take the over here with the Rams.
Speaker 1: This next one, I want to smash the under. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you, smash it. New Orleans Saints nine nine
Speaker 1: without Drew Brees Now, Michael Thomas, I'm sorry, I just
Speaker 1: cannot get there plus one hundred. I know it's minus
Speaker 1: one twenty, but you know what, I think this is
Speaker 1: one of the few times I see a minus number
Speaker 1: and I'm just gonna go with the under. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna just grin and Barrett, because I don't see how
Speaker 1: they get there. I don't see how this is a
Speaker 1: winning team. I really don't. I mean, look, they've strung
Speaker 1: it together. Sean Payton is a wonderful football coach. But
Speaker 1: you know, I think the more there's losing Drew Brees
Speaker 1: the quarterback, use Drew Brees the leader, and I think
Speaker 1: that is just something you can't account for enough year
Speaker 1: over year, and I just think this is gonna be
Speaker 1: an ugly year for the Saints.
Speaker 2: Personally, I agree. I think it's a challenging year. I
Speaker 2: like Taysom Hill over Jamis Winston. I think he went
Speaker 2: three and one. I think it was last year in
Speaker 2: one of those games was the Denver game. I understand
Speaker 2: that with the quarterback issue, that was a give me yeah,
Speaker 2: but there was a disconnect between Camara and Taysom Hill
Speaker 2: getting those dump offs. They don't have any receiving options.
Speaker 2: They really need Adam Troutman to pop as a tight end.
Speaker 2: If he doesn't, they're gonna be in trouble. The defense
Speaker 2: is great, but they're in a division here where they're
Speaker 2: going to be challenged. They have Tampa Bay that to me,
Speaker 2: is gonna be two losses without Michael Thomas. Marquez Callaway's
Speaker 2: their leading receiver. I just can't see it. I think
Speaker 2: Kamarai is gonna hit some regression as well. We can
Speaker 2: talk about that later. I'm with you on the under,
Speaker 2: even though the minus money is there, I'm gonna take
Speaker 2: it and I'm gonna lay the juice.
Speaker 1: Troutman needs to have a good game this week. I
Speaker 1: need to see something needs.
Speaker 3: To be Jimmy Graham for them to be if this
Speaker 3: jew's got to be Jimmy Graham.
Speaker 1: Yes, but I need to see something, some glimmer of
Speaker 1: that this week because we're not gonna see anything in
Speaker 1: Week three, because everyone's gonna see it like that. That's great, like.
Speaker 1: This is such a weird pattern too, because we have preseason,
Speaker 1: so we have Game one where you're gonna get like
Speaker 1: a little glimmer series or two of guys, and then
Speaker 1: you know, the secondary guys come in and the thirst
Speaker 1: string guys come in. And then this week I'm anticipating
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a half of football, maybe from some
Speaker 1: of these teams, some more than others. But then the
Speaker 1: following week I expect to see nothing again. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be like the old Week four. I would imagine now
Speaker 1: maybe a couple position battles and things like that to
Speaker 1: look at, but I don't know. This is kind of
Speaker 1: a make or break week for Troutman there to kind
Speaker 1: of give you at least some confidence going into the year.
Speaker 1: Let's transition here and finish with some fun stuff. Let's
Speaker 1: do some player props in the NFC, and let's start
Speaker 1: with my favorite quarterback in the world, Aaron Rodgers, who
Speaker 1: is never, never negative and obviously is a big team guy.
Speaker 1: Forty five hundred and fifty and a half. That is
Speaker 1: the number, forty five to fifty and a half. Minus
Speaker 1: one twelve on the over, minus one twelve on the under.
Speaker 1: You want to go over under on the forty five
Speaker 1: fifty and a half number. For Aaron Rodgers, it's a
Speaker 1: pretty big number.
Speaker 2: Vegas is so smart they're adding the extra game, and
Speaker 2: that is tempting people to do the over on these bets.
Speaker 2: Let's remember, folks, how do you know the quarterbacks are
Speaker 2: not gonna sit in that last week?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: Well, we sure that it's going to be seventeen games.
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers has.
Speaker 3: Say it with me.
Speaker 2: Joe crested this number once in his entire sixteen year
Speaker 2: NFL career, and that was in twenty eleven when he
Speaker 2: only played fifteen games. I think the number is too high.
Speaker 2: You know, they want to run the ball. Aj Dillon is.
Speaker 3: Going to get rushing attempts. They want to control it.
Speaker 2: If you think the Packers are going to be good
Speaker 2: and there's gonna have positive game script and you're dealing
Speaker 2: with an older quarterback, I will hit the under here
Speaker 2: minus one twelve.
Speaker 1: This next one is a fascinating quarterback number at the
Speaker 1: time we're talking about it because of the injury. Now,
Speaker 1: in my mind, I think Dak Prescott going into the
Speaker 1: season quote unquote healthy, had a real shot at five
Speaker 1: thousand yards because two years ago he nearly hit that
Speaker 1: number in just sixteen games, So now you're adding that
Speaker 1: extra game, the number is forty eight twenty five and
Speaker 1: a half. So four eight hundred and twenty five and
Speaker 1: a half the over plus one zero two the minus
Speaker 1: one thirty on the under. I think this is an
Speaker 1: over and don't I don't think this is close again
Speaker 1: if healthy, And I think the only reason you're getting
Speaker 1: the numbers you're getting on it right now is because
Speaker 1: people are a little concerned. And I think this number,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you know, if reports get better, maybe
Speaker 1: you see this number jump in terms of where it's set.
Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts on Dak? Are you you
Speaker 1: seeing a little bit more hesitant on the Cowboy than I.
Speaker 3: Am on the Cowboys? Yes, on Dak.
Speaker 2: No to hit this prop, he has to average three
Speaker 2: hundred and one passing yards per game for only sixteen games.
Speaker 2: He could be off Week seven seventeen and still hit this.
Speaker 2: Or suppose the Cowboys are battling like I project them
Speaker 2: to be at nine to eight and he actually plays
Speaker 2: seventeen last year before he got hurt, three hundred and
Speaker 2: seventy one passing yards per game two point four touchdowns,
Speaker 2: thirty point four fantasy points. Give me plus money. I
Speaker 2: understand it could be hurt, but that's baked into the number.
Speaker 2: I'll take a chance here. I will take the over
Speaker 2: with Dak in what I think the Cowboys are going
Speaker 2: to be battling for a playoff spot and he may
Speaker 2: have to play seventeen games.
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, some people think in the fantasy football community,
Speaker 1: has an outside shot at being wide receiver one overall.
Speaker 1: And I was a very big Calvin Ridley guy last
Speaker 1: year partially because Julio Jones was actually still there. I
Speaker 1: thought that's actually something that's good for the young wide
Speaker 1: receiver to continue to learn under somebody like Julio and also,
Speaker 1: you know, continue to have coverage pulled over. But when
Speaker 1: Julio wasn't around, Calvin Riddan still balled out. So that
Speaker 1: is good. Now, this number is one thy three hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy five and a half. That's the number. That's
Speaker 1: a pretty solid number that, my friends, is a Julio number.
Speaker 1: The question is it's a different head coach. Is it
Speaker 1: a different philosophy. You have Kyle Pitts, you have Gage,
Speaker 1: you have Mike Davis. Ridley is your premium weapon. Let's
Speaker 1: be honest. Okay, I mean I think Kyle Pitts is
Speaker 1: a phenomenal prospect. Let's see how he transitions into the NFL.
Speaker 1: But what do you think about this number? Thirteen seventy
Speaker 1: five and a half over under is minus one twelve.
Speaker 1: What do you do with Ridley here?
Speaker 2: He had thirteen seventy four last year with Julio still
Speaker 2: hanging around Falcons. Pass plays per game last three years fifth,
Speaker 2: first and third. I know Arthur Smith new head coach,
Speaker 2: so we're uncertain. Are we grounding and pounding with Mike.
Speaker 3: Davis and Caydrialison? We are not?
Speaker 1: Don't think so?
Speaker 2: No way, and listen, I don't think they're going to
Speaker 2: be very strong as a team, so I think they're
Speaker 2: going to be passing a lot. Ridley last year first
Speaker 2: among wide receivers in air yards, fourth and receiving yards,
Speaker 2: seventh in targets, but only thirteenth in target share on
Speaker 2: the Falcons. That obviously goes way up. I think he
Speaker 2: has the same production with more volume efficiency plus volume,
Speaker 2: he could lead the league in receiving yards over for
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley.
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about his teammate Kyle Pitts the
Speaker 1: rookie sensation, and look, I understand why people are excited.
Speaker 1: They should be excited about him. The number for him
Speaker 1: I thought was fascinating eight hundred and a half. That's
Speaker 1: the over under minus one twelve on both. So what
Speaker 1: do you think about Kyle Pitts? Can he be the
Speaker 1: anomaly when it comes to rookie tight ends eventually?
Speaker 3: Yes, this year No.
Speaker 2: Most receiving yards by a rookie for tight end Mike
Speaker 2: Dicka one thy seventy six, Shocky back in two thousand
Speaker 2: and two, eight ninety four, Keith Jackson eight sixty nine,
Speaker 2: Chase Young eight sixty four back in seventy three, and
Speaker 2: John Mackie seven sixty four. Do I think that Kyle
Speaker 2: Pitts is going to have the fourth best season ever
Speaker 2: of a tight end as a rookie.
Speaker 3: No, I do not, even in.
Speaker 1: The current climate of the way the NFL structured, like
Speaker 1: the way it's so wide open now and the need
Speaker 1: that the Falcons have. That's fair and they're going to
Speaker 1: pass a lot, But he's not gonna play tight end only.
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna line up some times out there as well.
Speaker 1: That's my argument for this number is. That's why I
Speaker 1: think it's so fascinating. It's like, do you believe he
Speaker 1: gets work, you know, as a wide receiver basically, or
Speaker 1: is like this weird hybrid player.
Speaker 2: I think he does, Joe, But I think there's a
Speaker 2: learning curve for wide receivers, rookie wide receivers coming in
Speaker 2: the NFL, and we know there's a learning curve for
Speaker 2: rookie tight ends. Hayden Hurst is going to be a splinter.
Speaker 2: Gage will catch some passes, Zachias will catch him passes,
Speaker 2: Mike Davis will catch him passes, all under the umbrella
Speaker 2: of Calvin Ridley. I think he has a very strong year,
Speaker 2: and I think he could eventually become this dominant of
Speaker 2: a tight end. I don't see it in year one.
Speaker 2: I will take the.
Speaker 1: Under all right, Christian McCaffrey. The rushing total twelve hundred
Speaker 1: and a half. This is kind of built into whether
Speaker 1: or not you think he can stay healthy, because it
Speaker 1: feels like if he's healthy, he smashes this number twelve
Speaker 1: hundred and a half minus one twelve on the over
Speaker 1: and the under. Now, look, I understand he gets a
Speaker 1: lot of work in the past game as well, but boy,
Speaker 1: What a difference for Sam Darnold to be dropped into
Speaker 1: this offense with all these these options. DJ Moore, his
Speaker 1: old friend Robbie Anderson, Terrace Marshall looks like a nice player.
Speaker 1: You got McCaffrey, So I guess here's the question. Is
Speaker 1: Carolina going to be careful with McCaffrey or is it
Speaker 1: back to business as usual? And how does that impact
Speaker 1: this number?
Speaker 2: What we need to remember is the under is always
Speaker 2: the sharp play because people want to root for things
Speaker 2: to happen, they don't want to root against them. With
Speaker 2: COVID as the variable here, you have to realize that
Speaker 2: that could also play a role. Does Christian McCaffrey play
Speaker 2: all seventeen games. It's unlikely for any running back, and
Speaker 2: I'm not even talking about COVID. It is SUPERB twenty
Speaker 2: nineteen season, two hundred and eighty seven carries four point
Speaker 2: eight yards per carrie. Let's go with two hundred and
Speaker 2: sixty carries at four point six yards per carrie, which
Speaker 2: is still really strong. That's eleven ninety six run defenses
Speaker 2: they face this year the Panthers, Pats, Washington, Buffalo, Tampa Bay,
Speaker 2: and New Orleans twice. It's a great number. I think
Speaker 2: it's right there, but I do like under A McCaffrey.
Speaker 1: All right, let's see what you think about Camara his
Speaker 1: rushing total nine to fifty and a half minus one
Speaker 1: twelve on the over under for him nine to fifty
Speaker 1: and a half. Look, they're gonna have to use Kamara
Speaker 1: a lot, but historically it's been a lot of work
Speaker 1: through the air. Do you think he's going to scratch
Speaker 1: out a thousand yard season potentially here with just the
Speaker 1: need of what they're gonna need from Alvin Kamara and
Speaker 1: getting hold up to the amount of workload that maybe
Speaker 1: they're gonna demand of him this year. We're aready hearing
Speaker 1: some talk about Olatavius Murray might not make the team.
Speaker 1: I think that's madness. I don't know. I was Freeman
Speaker 1: better than Murray. I don't know what they're doing over there.
Speaker 1: But what do you think of this nine to fifty
Speaker 1: and a half number when it comes to Kamara's rushing total?
Speaker 3: Pop quiz Joe, Sure or false?
Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara has rushed for one thousand yards in a
Speaker 2: season in the ESL.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, false, that is false? Sure or false?
Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara has rushed for over nine hundred and forty
Speaker 2: yards in a season.
Speaker 1: Uh, that's also false.
Speaker 3: That is also false.
Speaker 1: One more, but they all had Drew Brees attached to
Speaker 1: them that well, in some capacity for the most part.
Speaker 1: Not these last two so much that the last one, this.
Speaker 3: Will be the bonus question. Alvin Kamara has rushed for.
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait wait wait wait? Do I win for
Speaker 1: the bonus question? Like I feel like I've I've got
Speaker 1: the It's like the pyramid, like my eternal respect?
Speaker 3: Is what you get? That worth more?
Speaker 1: Answer it anyway? Okay, go ahead.
Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara has rushed for over nine hundred yards twice
Speaker 2: in his four year career.
Speaker 1: That is also false.
Speaker 2: That is, it's only once. Whoever is the running back?
Speaker 2: And I think it'll be Murray or Freeman. I think
Speaker 2: teams are going to center on Camara. He obviously is
Speaker 2: elite in the passing game. Eighty one eighty one eighty
Speaker 2: one eighty two receptions is four years. I am going
Speaker 2: under on this number. He's a superior weapon. But I
Speaker 2: don't think he's going to get the rushing attempts. I
Speaker 2: think he is fragile to a certain extent, which is
Speaker 2: why they're not going to hammer it to him. And
Speaker 2: I think we have some recency biased Joe, because I'm
Speaker 2: a little sensitive about Alvin Kamara's six touchdown game.
Speaker 1: I know you are. Oh in our league, boy, Mike
Speaker 1: Randall had a hell of a season. Boy, he dominated.
Speaker 1: Everybody was five hundred. Not Mike Grandell, he was twelve
Speaker 1: and two. I think going into that unde seated. I
Speaker 1: almost beat you. I lost by a couple of points
Speaker 1: that that one week. I wanted to be the guy
Speaker 1: to do it to you, because if you're gonna lose,
Speaker 1: lose to a friend, that's what I always say. I
Speaker 1: thought you were the team and you still had a
Speaker 1: great week, and you you should be bitter. You absolutely
Speaker 1: should be bitter about that. I know now six six.
Speaker 3: I'm taking can have a great year, but still go under.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, look I've won your respect, which is nice.
Speaker 1: Hopefully Mike Randall's won you some money here with some
Speaker 1: of the discussions we've had. So once again, make sure
Speaker 1: you go over to bettingpros dot com check out those
Speaker 1: consensus lines and if you see better numbers on anything
Speaker 1: that we've talked about today, you say, wow, this is
