1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 2: What is up? Straight fire, fam, It's me Jason McIntyre,

3
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: Straight Foyer for Thursday, May the fifteenth. The NFL schedule

4
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: has been released. I know everybody's all fired up and

5
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: excited to bet over unders. We'll to have some of

6
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 2: them for ya. Listen, you guys know these bets won't

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 2: pay out for seven months. Nobody wants to tie up

8
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 2: a lot of capital over unders. When if a quarterback

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: goes down a week two your toast. So obviously we

10
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 2: got to be smart about it. But we can look

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: to the teams that we kind of have an eye

12
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: on that are going to be sinking some rising obviously,

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: so that'll be very, very fun. We'll get into that

14
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: Golden State Warriors, it's over. Had a nice little run.

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: No Steph Curry, no chance. Timberwolves advanced to face the

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City Thunder. I mean the Thunder need to win

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 2: in Denver, not a given. Should be a really good

18
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 2: game tonight, I mean almost all of them have been

19
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: except for Game two than Thunder one by like forty five.

20
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: And then of course my knicks could not close out

21
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: the Celtics. Interesting stuff, we'll get too shortly. Joe Mizzoula

22
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: made a couple of tiny moves that really were smart

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: about damn time he did something. But let's not overreact

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 2: to Jason Tatum not being there. Well, we'll talk about

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: that in a minute, but I do want to start

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 2: with the NFL schedule release, because everybody gets fired up.

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: There's nothing like football here in America when it comes

28
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 2: to sports. We know that the NBA is dominant culturally,

29
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 2: the NFL's dominant with the gambling, the fantasy. There's only

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: seventeen games. It's you know, obviously the Sundays are really

31
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 2: fun and exciting. But now you got Tuesday, Sorry, not Tuesday.

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: You've got Thursday night football. You've got a season opener

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: Friday in Brazil. You've got Monday night. Vote is Sunday

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: night like it is. It's a long, exciting season. We

35
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: obviously can't wait for it. But if you want just

36
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: the big picture, high level analysis at large, here we go.

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: I think, undeniably, the teams that came out with the

38
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 2: worst schedules. Now we knew the opponents for months, right,

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: We've known this. Okay, we knew the New York Giants

40
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: were gonna have a really really difficult schedule. Okay, we

41
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: did not know what was going to be this bad, folks.

42
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 2: This is where order matters. So the Giants, Okay, these

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: are their first These are first nine games. You tell

44
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: me how many wins they got here at Washington, they're

45
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: gonna be underdogs considerably to Jayden Daniels. At Dallas, slight

46
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: underdog versus the Chiefs, Okay, versus the Chargers. At the Saints,

47
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: that should be a game that they circle to get

48
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: the dub. Right at the Saints in Week five, for sure,

49
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: I think they could maybe beat Dallas, but I think

50
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: they'll beat the Saints. Then you host the Eagles at Denver.

51
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: And I'm just telling you right now, folks, Denver is

52
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: a by now team. Okay, that defense, You look at

53
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: all the pieces they got. Even if both Knicks regresses

54
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: a little bit, that team is gonna be in a

55
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: lot of games this year. They are a feisty team.

56
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on Denver. Then the Giants have to

57
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: go to Philadelphia, Then they host San Francisco. Those are

58
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: their first nine by any measure you want, right over undertotals, right,

59
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: most teams bet to win the suit. Whatever you want

60
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: to use for this season. That is the toughest nine

61
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: game stretch to start the season. I mean, guys, if

62
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: they're two and seven, they might that might be fortunate.

63
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: I say, somehow get off three wins. Great, But this

64
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: is why the whole Brian Dabole and Joe Shane trading

65
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: back into the first round for Jackson Dart is insane.

66
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: If they start too and seven, they would then need

67
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: to go assuming they survive that, you go to and

68
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: see and maybe the Giants just getting blasted in every game.

69
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, they would need to go something insane

70
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: like six and one down the stretch, sorry, seven and

71
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: one down the stretch, six and two to salvage their

72
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: jobs and make it. Hey man, we got to give

73
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: these guys another chance. I just I don't know. The

74
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: New York Giants schedule arguably the toughest.

75
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: In the league.

76
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: But one team that I will be betting their win

77
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: total under when I hit up Vegas is the Detroit Lions,

78
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: and I know that's not gonna be popular. I've had

79
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: two great seasons back to back. Dan Campbell's got a squad,

80
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: but we know they lost the offensive coordinator and the

81
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator and then you get the schedule and it

82
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: is just riddled with primetime games galore and difficult matchups galore.

83
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Now, the division we know is tough,

84
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: but they also have to face the AFC North and

85
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 2: they have to travel to Baltimore and Cincinnati. That's games

86
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 2: at Lamar Jackson at Joe Burrow early in the season. Now,

87
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: obviously the Bengals don't have a defense, so that should

88
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: be a close game, but also on the road. So

89
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: these are the Lions road games at Green Bay to

90
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 2: open the season, at Baltimore week three, at the Bengals

91
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 2: week five, at the Chiefs week six. That's just before

92
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: their bye week. Their first seven games. If they're four

93
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: and three, that's a win for Detroit. I don't think

94
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: they'll be four and three. I'm looking at three and

95
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: four after the bye week. Still, they have back to

96
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: back road trips at Washington at Philly. They have to

97
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: go to the Rams, which is indoors and not that bad.

98
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 2: But the only bullet that was dodged here by the Lions,

99
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 2: and Warren Sharp had a good point about this, we'll

100
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 2: try to get on the pod next week is all

101
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: the outdoor games that they have are early. Imagine if

102
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: they had to go to Baltimore in December, or to

103
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: Cincinnati in November, to Kansas City in December. They got

104
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: a little lucky. It was almost as if the schedule

105
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: of gods gave them a break. They're only cold game

106
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: for sure is going to be the Bears in week eighteen,

107
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 2: and that game may not even matter. The other road

108
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: games at Minnesota Dome at Rams Dome so far, and

109
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: at Philadelphia is the only other outdoor game, but that's

110
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 2: November sixteenth. It's probably not going to be arctic weather

111
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: in Philly. So bad news for the Lions right, brutal schedule,

112
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 2: but we knew that they kind of sort of dodge

113
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: a bullet when it comes to where and when the

114
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: games are. As such, I'm taking the Lions season win

115
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 2: total under ten and a half. That will be one

116
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 2: of mine. I'm sorry, I just I don't. I think

117
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: there is clear regression on both sides of the football.

118
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, I'm not calling them the

119
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: brains behind the operation. You know, you can only raw

120
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: rock can only take you so far before, like the

121
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: smart guys really need to carry you. And I think

122
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,559
Speaker 2: the smart guy's just left. Now. I'm not diminishing Dan Campbell.

123
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: He's done a phenomenal job, but we know he's more

124
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: of a walk around guy than like a sche mat

125
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: x Is and O's genius. So Lions are a team

126
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: I'm targeting under for sure. Let's see here. The next

127
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: one that I had on the list is the San

128
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine Ers, who have, by several metrics, the

129
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: easiest schedule in the NFL. Now the forty nine Ers,

130
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: a lot of people are saying, oh, I don't know,

131
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: major step back. They lose five defensive starters. Forty nine

132
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: Ers lost Deebo Samuel. We don't know if Brandon and

133
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: Yuk's going to be ready at the start of the

134
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: season given his ac We don't know brock Perty is

135
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: still not. It could be tough, guys. Oh my gosh.

136
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: So I'm going to go through. These are the quarterbacks

137
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: the Niners face Sam Donald in his first game for

138
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: the Seahawks. Okay, first game for the Seahawks, and Sam

139
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 2: Donald's been with the Niners before, they have seen him.

140
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: They're not gonna be surprised or caught off guard by anything.

141
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: Seattle kind of sort of rebuilding. You know, no Lockett,

142
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: no Metcalf, got it. Two the Niners travel to New Orleans,

143
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: They're either going to have Spencer Ratler, Tyler Shook, or

144
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: whoever they held that other guy is. Then it's Kyler Murray,

145
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence, the first tough quarterback, Matt Stafford in Week

146
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: five at Baker Mayfield six, Michael Pennix, who is essentially

147
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,559
Speaker 2: a rookie. I mean it's a second year at this point,

148
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: he'll have like eight starts under his belt. Then it's

149
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: at C. J. Stroud, who clearly regressed and their offensive

150
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: line has a lot of questions, maybe one of the

151
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: biggest question marks of any offensive line grouping from a

152
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: team that made the playoffs last year. Then it's at

153
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: the Giants that could be Russell Wilson, Jamis Winston, Jackson Dart,

154
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: who the hell knows? Stafford again, Kyler Murray again, Bryce Young,

155
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 2: assuming he's still the starter. Cleveland, it's anybody's guess who

156
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: they're going to be starting in November. They have one

157
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: of the lowest win totals in the league. Then it's

158
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: cam Ward, who you know, I would assume he's still

159
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: the starter at that point. By the way cam Ward

160
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: has to open against that bon Knicks defense, Denver is

161
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 2: a good bet in Week one. Then it's the Indianapolis Colts.

162
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: Their quarterback situation kind of the shrug emoji, Joe Flacco

163
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: or Anthony Richardson, who the hell knows. Then it's Caleb

164
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: Williams and then Sam Darnold book ending the season. So

165
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 2: you guys know that mostly the top five quarterbacks in

166
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: the league are Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow,

167
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: and I think Jalen Hurts It be five. They don't

168
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: have to face any of them whole season. They dodge

169
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: all of the top five quarterbacks. There's a world where

170
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: the Niners are the number one seed. I think their

171
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 2: win total, I think you've got to go over or pass.

172
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: If you have questions about Perty and company, fine, I

173
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: think the Niners over is a good one.

Speaker 1: listen live.

178
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: Another easy schedule. And this is a team I don't like,

179
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: so I wouldn't bet. I might like do like a

180
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: meal bet with cowhurt on this one. But the New

181
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: England Patriots have the easiest home schedule in the NFL,

182
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: easiest at home, second, easiest overall schedule, and again a

183
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: lot of this comes down to who do you play

184
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: and when. Obviously they have to face Josh Allen twice,

185
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 2: and they do have to face the Joe Burrow on

186
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: the road and Lamar Jackson as well. But I think

187
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: we can agree that Jets are not in a good

188
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 2: place right now. Miami appears to be slip sliding. It's early.

189
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: I don't have any faith at all in New Orleans, Carolina,

190
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: Vegas will see. But the New England Patriots are a

191
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: sneaky wild card team that I think you probably need

192
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: to look at. So those are just a couple of

193
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 2: the teams. Philadelphia has a tough schedule. I will not

194
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 2: be on their overwin total. I do like Minnesota, but

195
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: again they have a difficult schedule. I think the Buffalo

196
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: Bills if you ask me, Hey, Jay, you've now seen

197
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: the schedule, the draft reagency, I think I will have

198
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills in the super Bowl. Now they open

199
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: in a I mean week one has some baggers, folks.

200
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: Buffalo hosting Baltimore Josh Allen Lamar Jackson Sunday Night Football.

201
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: That's about as good as it gets. Now, No, you

202
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: gotta worry, Buffalo could get looking get caught looking ahead

203
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: to Week two against my Jets. Tough, tough match up

204
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: with Justin Fields, but Josh Allen Lamar Jackson. That must

205
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 2: see TV right out of the gate, regardless of what

206
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 2: happens to the Bills in that one. After that, it's Jets, Dolphins, Saints, Patriots, Falcons.

207
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: They will be favored in all of those games. And

208
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 2: my guess is since Buffalo gets Baltimore at home and

209
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 2: Kansas City at home, there's a world where they're favored

210
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: in every game. Now. I haven't seen lines for every

211
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: game yet, but it appears that Buffalo is going to

212
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 2: be favored in just about every game this season. So

213
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 2: those are the toughest and the easiest schedules based on

214
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 2: what I saw some of the interesting Week one lines

215
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: I already mentioned Denver and Tennessee. Denver at home at

216
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: altitude always has an edge early and they're facing a

217
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback. It's I mean, we're talking about Patrick Sirtan.

218
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: That's a no fly zone. They're probably gonna have like

219
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: a top four defense in the league. I'm just I'm

220
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 2: not saying lay the lumber on the Broncos. Again, bo

221
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 2: Nicks as a seven point favorite. Come on, but that

222
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: is a game I have circled. I do like the Broncos. There,

223
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: I know you're not gonna like this one. I like

224
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: the Jets. Guys in Week one, I'm sorry in the scheduling,

225
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 2: folks did a really good job. Week one is phenomenal, obviously,

226
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: but the Jets host the Pittsburgh Steelers. So Justin Fields

227
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: was the QB of the Steelers last year. He's now

228
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: the Jets quarterback. And if Aaron Rodgers ends up signing

229
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 2: with the Steelers, Aaron Rodgers will return to Met Life

230
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: where two years ago in the season opener he got

231
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: taken down popped his achilles. I think the Jets getting

232
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: two and a half at home? Well here, how's this?

233
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 2: If Aaron Rodgers doesn't show up, are the Jets suddenly

234
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: favored in this game? Probably Mason Rudolph favorite on the road.

235
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: I don't think so. And I'm just gonna remind some people.

236
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: And again, I know nobody cares about the Jets because

237
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: they're never good. But as a nerd who's a huge fan,

238
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: I just want to remind people Jermaine Johnson, who was

239
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: a menace as a rookie last year. I don't know

240
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: if he played at all. I know he got injured early.

241
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 2: It was either in preseason or in like Week one,

242
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 2: but yeah, no, no, he got injured in I'm sorry

243
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: he got injured in Week three against Tennessee. But three

244
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 2: years ago, I'm sorry. As a rookie he showed some

245
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: promise and then in twenty twenty three is the year

246
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 2: he kind of sort of popped with seven and a

247
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: half sacks. He'll be opposite Will McDonald. I'm just telling

248
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: you Jets Will. Their defense is gonna be really strong. Now.

249
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 2: Is it gonna be strong enough to beat the Bills?

250
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: Probably not, But I think do think that, you know,

251
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: given the pass rush that they've got, uh the offensive line,

252
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: that the trenches are good. I think I like Jets

253
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: against Pittsburgh in the opener, although although we do know

254
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin one of the better coaches in the league.

255
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: I just wanted to see a pull a rabbit out

256
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: of the hat with Mason frickin Rudolph in the opener.

257
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: I'm not buying those guys at all. Let me see

258
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: so week one, this is why everybody's all excited. Dallas

259
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 2: at Philly Thursday Night Football. Whatever Eagles are favored by

260
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 2: a touchdown, Eagles should be fine. Then Friday, Casey Chargers

261
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 2: from South Paulo, Brazil. Apparently this game is only available

262
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: on YouTube at least that's what it's showing here. That's

263
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: not fun. I don't see a line on that game

264
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: as of yet. Cincinnati at Cleveland. We know Joe Burrow

265
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 2: has been a notorious slow starter early in this He's

266
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: in like the last three years. We'll see what happens

267
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 2: if he's extra motivated this year. Maybe he actually plays

268
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 2: in the preseason or doesn't have a surgery or something.

269
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: What else do we have here? San fran at Seattle,

270
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: San fran only one and a half. Come on, san Franz.

271
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: I'll losing that. And then Baltimore Buffalo, And then the

272
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: Monday night game is Ben Johnson his debut as Bears

273
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 2: coach against JJ McCarthy and the Minnesota Vikings. So should

274
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: be able to It's so easy to get fired up

275
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,680

Speaker 2: All right, pivot to the NBA. Were my Nicks you

281
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 2: don't want to say they know showed because they had

282
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: a good first half. They led after the first quarter.

283
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: I actually looking to bet Celtics first quarter because I

284
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 2: thought they would come out all fired up for them

285
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: to win it for Tatum and the Knicks would come

286
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: out feeling themselves. Didn't quite work out that way, but

287
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: the game was tied at halftime. At halftime, Joe Mizzoula

288
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: made a pretty good move. First of all, he started

289
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 2: Horford and Perzingis. That was bad. Those are two immobile guys. Really,

290
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: he realized pretty quickly. Porzingis doesn't have it. He's got

291
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: the illness. He pivots to Luke Cornett, the immortal Vanderbilt

292
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: center who was a let me see here. Luke Cornett

293
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: was undrafted. He has been on Let's see Nicks, Bulls, Celtics, Calves, Bucks, Bulls.

294
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: He's bounced around the league. It's safe to say started

295
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: more games this season, second most games of his career.

296
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: This season as sixteen, Luke Cornett was everywhere. Okay, he

297
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: understood the assignment play defense. Zinis was not. Luke Cornette

298
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: had seven block shots in twenty six minutes. He was

299
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 2: plus twenty. Coming off the bench. He had ten points,

300
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 2: nine rebounds, seven blocks. When Luke Cornett is chasing a

301
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:19,239
Speaker 2: triple double in TD Garden, you know Boston's gonna win

302
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 2: the game. Okay, That's just how it went. Peyton Pritchard

303
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: hit five threes, Derek White hit seven threes. Jalen Brown

304
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 2: was solid. I did like what I saw from Jalen

305
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 2: Brown as a playmaker. He had twelve assists. And I

306
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 2: know a lot of people are gonna get all caught up. Well,

307
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: they're better with Tatum on the bench or without Tatum.

308
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: With Tatum obviously the Achilles he's out, they're better without Tatum.

309
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 2: He's a ball. He takes too many shots. Okay. So

310
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 2: I'm on a text chain with these two guys, these

311
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: two guys I played basketball with, and one of them is,

312
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 2: you know, really tight with Peyton Pritchard, and I'm wondering

313
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: if he's getting this, and he's like, oh, I'm not

314
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,719
Speaker 2: getting this from Peyton I just I watch a lot

315
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: of Celtics, and I think they're better without Tatum. The

316
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 2: ball pops around. Celtics did have twenty seven assists. The

317
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: ball was moving. I just I cautioned people to overreact

318
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: to one game at home where their role players really

319
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 2: really showed well and the Knicks uncharacteristically. Jalen Brown fouled

320
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 2: out with like eight minutes left. Very strange. Og Arnobi

321
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 2: one for twelve, total non factor, Mikail Bridges four for fourteen.

322
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 2: When you're starting forwards go five for twenty six, you're

323
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: not winning anything. So it kind of they lost the

324
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 2: rope in the third quarter and it was just a runaway.

325
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: I mean, Josh Hart was basically the next best player

326
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: hit five threes. That's out of character for him. And

327
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: I do believe the Knicks are three point favorites going

328
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 2: home for Game six in what should be Friday night.

329
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 2: I mean goodness, I had to cancel some plans because

330
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 2: I can't miss this game. Obviously, the roles have shifted.

331
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 2: Austin went from being the hunted defending champs and now

332
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: they're coming after New York. Everybody's placed the Knicks against

333
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 2: the Pacers in the Conference Finals. Well, they're done without Tatum,

334
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: and that's probably the case, but for a night, it

335
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 2: certainly looked like this ain't over now, I do think

336
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 2: I did find it interesting that Derek White log forty minutes,

337
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 2: Jaylen Brown thirty seven, drew Holiday thirty three, and that

338
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: my friend Peyton Pritchard thirty nine minutes that was in

339
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: a twenty five point victory. Now you got a day

340
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 2: off and you travel to the Garden, which is just

341
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 2: gonna be absolutely lit up like it. I mean, I

342
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: think I thought Seventh Avenue was basically a parking lot

343
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 2: for New York Knicks fans after the other game. What

344
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: do you think it's gonna be Friday night? It is

345
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 2: gonna be complete and utter chaos. I'm assuming Timothy Chalomey

346
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: will show up with Kendall and Kyrie Jenner, because that's

347
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 2: just who he is. One of the funniest memes I

348
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 2: saw was that let's see here. I just want to

349
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 2: get the exact saying right. So you guys know, I

350
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 2: saw Dune and Done Too with Timothy Shallomey, and I

351
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 2: was like, this guy, Doune, it's really good. Even if

352
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: you like Star Wars, you gotta love Dune and Doom too.

353
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: If you're not into that sci fi stuff, just check

354
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 2: it out anyway, because I promise you it's cool this

355
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 2: guy wrote. Because there's a bunch of photos of Challa

356
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 2: May with Kylie Jenner and Kendall And even if you

357
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: don't care about them, just listen. Bro got too born

358
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: and raised La batties at the garden cheering for the Knicks.

359
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 2: He really is the Lissan al Gaib, which is just

360
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 2: a reference to Dune. In the movie, he was like

361
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: the savior and they finally, you know, they found him

362
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: and they're all like, oh my gosh, you're the Savior

363
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: of Lissan. I'll GiB. And it's really really cool that

364
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: this guy incorporated this with the Nicks and the generous Sisters.

365
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: I just I could not stop laughing at that, legitimately

366
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: laughing out loud. Send it to somebody's It was. First

367
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: of all, the Dune movies are great, I promise you.

368
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: And then I hiked the Timothy shallow May Bob Dylan movie.

369
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 2: That was good. I'm a Shallowy fan, Like, I know

370
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 2: this's gonna sound super nerdy. I don't even care if

371
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: he moved in like on my block and I like

372
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 2: saw him getting the mail, I'd probably be like, what's up,

373
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: you know, try to become friends with them. He just

374
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 2: seems fun man, a good actor, is huge sports fan.

375
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: Remember he went on game day and was like rattling

376
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 2: off I don't know Wisconsin Badger's stats or something crazy

377
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 2: it was. He just seems like a good dude. And

378
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 2: he's gonna be at the Garden. Obviously, they're gonna have

379
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: fifty million a listeners there, probably one of the most

380
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 2: expensive ticket prices. And you do want to close out

381
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 2: the Celtics. Though you definitely want to close them out

382
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 2: in Game six, you do not want to have to

383
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,239
Speaker 2: go back to Boston right and face them. And I

384
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: do believe Game seven would be set for is it

385
00:21:52,920 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 2: Sunday or Monday? Yeah, it's saying the nineteenth, which is Monday. Ooh,

386
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 2: And that would be an extra day of rest that

387
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 2: could be huge for Boston. So the Knicks have to

388
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 2: close it out. The pressure will all be on the Knicks, Boston,

389
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: no pressure. Their SuperStar's gone. They're now the underdog. And

390
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 2: I wonder if Thibodeau is gonna have seen something in

391
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 2: the Cornette Peyton Pritchard like Honestly, they look way better

392
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: going with four guards and Luke Cornett. I'm not I

393
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 2: mean well, I mean Jaylen Brown, Derek White, Drew Holliday,

394
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 2: Peyton Pritchard and Cornett. That lineup like shock the Knicks.

395
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 2: They were definitely not ready for that. And I think

396
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: the Knicks get the job done. But I do have

397
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: some concerns. Man. You know, remember they led three to

398
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 2: two against the Pacers last year and in Game seven

399
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 2: it all kind of fell apart. Like the Knicks, I

400
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: haven't closed out a series at home and quite some time.

401
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 2: This won't be easy. And then what do we have tonight?

402
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 2: I guess, Oh, we got the uh Game six of

403
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 2: Denver OKC. I will obviously be rooting for Denver in

404
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 2: that one. I guess we could do a Golden State Warriors.

405
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 2: Oh bit, you know a little later on maybe next week.

406
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 2: I'll just I'll just say this. I looked at their

407
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 2: salary cap situation. It's obviously not great. I don't know

408
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 2: what like the market of Jimmy Butler, Like are people

409
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 2: clamoring to get into Jimmy Butler business? I don't know,

410
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 2: And my guests would be probably not. Jonathan kaminga borderline

411
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: unplayable by Steve Kerr when Curry and they were clicking,

412
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 2: but then you forced Kaminga into the series with Curry out,

413
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: and he like looks kind of good, So I don't

414
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 2: know what you do with him. I mean, buddy here

415
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: clearly shot the moon there for a couple for a

416
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 2: minute and then kind of fades. You got him. Kevin

417
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,679
Speaker 2: Looney's probably done, Gary Payton's probably done. I think you know,

418
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 2: Moses Moody has a lot of money coming his way

419
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,719
Speaker 2: and they fell out of love with him in this series.

420
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 2: Just to all around strange series for Golden State once

421
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 2: Curry went down, but that's kind of what happens when

422
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 2: you lose your superstar. So not going to overreact early.

423
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: Lean is to Minnesota in the series, but still got

424
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: a lot of work to do over the weekend. All right,

425
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 2: that's it. Tomorrow we I think we got a guess

426
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 2: for a surprise that should be fun that you should like.

427
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 2: All right, that's it talking about
