Gambling Problem called one 91 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: eight hundred gambler or one eight hundred bets off in 92 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: Iowa terms. Conditions restrictions apply all right, kicking off the 93 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 1: divisional round, which is approaching opportunities all over the board, 94 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: It's time for sharkalls. 95 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 3: Hello, who's there? 96 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 4: I'm talking Ray telephone ring somebody saying maybe wanted to 97 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 4: do man. Yeah, and since we only have four games, 98 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 4: show will kind of do this pretty quick. I would say, 99 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 4: shocking to no one. About sixty percent of the pros 100 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,359 Speaker 4: I talked to like Houston. They like Houston at that number, 101 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 4: it's such a big number. If people want to view 102 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 4: of how the pros view this game. I think they're 103 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 4: scared off about all the points, like we are with Lamar, 104 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 4: and they're just paying them money line with the forty 105 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 4: nine ers money line, and it feels like that's the 106 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 4: bet they like. If they're going Chalky, they're just pairing 107 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 4: those two favorites together. So pretty interesting that I haven't 108 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 4: really talked to that many people that like the Ravens 109 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 4: on the spread, and I feel like when I look 110 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 4: in the app, it reflects that right, Like it looks 111 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 4: like all the money is on Houston. I kind of 112 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 4: dealt with this last week with the rams, like people 113 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 4: kept messaging, ar'tie scared about back in the rams all 114 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 4: the money is on the rams and talked a little 115 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 4: bit about it. But it was just like last week 116 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: was the Pros dream of a bet. Right, the Pros 117 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 4: took the three and a half and they took the 118 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 4: Lines money line when the line came down and they 119 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 4: crushed the middle. And you know, the books didn't fire anybody, 120 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 4: but they probably should have, right, that was a bad, 121 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 4: bad line. They shouldn't have hunt their three and a half. 122 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 4: The numbers should have been three, should have dropped the 123 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 4: two and a half, they would have got Lines money 124 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 4: and you know they would have made off pretty well. Instead, 125 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 4: they got crushed. They got middled terribly by a lot 126 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 4: of professionals. So and so, I mean, you talk all 127 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 4: the time about these key numbers. That was last week 128 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 4: was the definition of that, like a three and a 129 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 4: half such a key number. 130 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 3: They had to move it down just because they got so. 131 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 4: Much money on their rams, and I mean, their worst, 132 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 4: the worst case scenario happened for them was that that 133 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 4: landing in between three just just just terrible. So you 134 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 4: know this this next game with green Bay. It's the 135 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 4: same thing of I know plenty of pros who like 136 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 4: green Bay. They liked them at ten, they believe in it. 137 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 4: And then there's pros like being you that are okay 138 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 4: with taking the forty nine shore We liked the spot 139 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 4: and we're you know, we're trying to break down this 140 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 4: is a seventh seed in green Bay for a reason. 141 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 4: We know how well they played towards the end of 142 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 4: the season and still a team that their defense can 143 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 4: give up a ton of points. I mean, we joke, 144 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,119 Speaker 4: what was that four or five weeks ago? They made 145 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield look like a Hall of Famer and they 146 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 4: made Tommy DeVito the player of the week. 147 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 3: So you know, that's that's my pushback. 148 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 4: When I had a bunch of pros telling me like, 149 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 4: how do you not take this Green Bay team? How 150 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 4: do you not take the money line? I just felt 151 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 4: like that was the most public play of the week, right, 152 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 4: people are just going to be backing this Green Bay team, 153 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 4: especially after. 154 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 3: The beat Dallas. So I'm not sure if there's still 155 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: the biggest money line play of the week. 156 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 4: But I did see what was that Tuesday when I 157 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 4: flew out before I left that they were like the 158 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 4: heaviest bet play at the books. 159 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 3: Right now was their money line. 160 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 4: So not shocking that the public likes them so much, 161 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 4: but I was shocked that there's pros that like green 162 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 4: Bay that much. Where it's like I did it first too, 163 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 4: But the more you dive into the numbers, it just 164 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 4: feels like the right side. 165 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: Like you and me, Simon the key phrase there you 166 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: just said it pros like you, you being Chad. 167 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. 168 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 4: If people don't realize, I am sleep deprived. I have 169 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 4: traveled across country. Uh, survived multiple babies on an airplane. 170 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: Don't don't try to give excuses for why you called 171 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: me a pro. 172 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: That's an excuse to the fact. No, no, don't bring 173 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 3: babies on airplanes. Don't. 174 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,559 Speaker 4: Don't even don't even have me get into a chat. 175 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 4: Next one, I was undecided about it. I think I'm 176 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 4: getting bullied and they're taking Detroit and again we'll we'll 177 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 4: dive into it, but people want to know who the 178 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 4: pro is. 179 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 3: Like most of the. 180 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 4: Pros I've talked to really like Detroit in the spot, 181 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 4: which I'm just shocked by. So that's when we'll dive 182 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 4: into obviously. And yeah, this last one, it's not a 183 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 4: shocked anybody. It's not exactly what I talked about. If 184 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 4: you can get a three, a lot of the Pros 185 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 4: are going to take the three on the Chiefs, and 186 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 4: that's just to them the smart play, like you just 187 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 4: they're playing the numbers and historically taking the homes as 188 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 4: a dog, especially at that number three is a big deal. 189 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 4: So I knew going into it the public side was 190 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 4: going to be the Bills. 191 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 3: You know, obviously we're about to break it down. 192 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 4: But it's just not shocking like that's that was probably 193 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 4: the most boring game, worst boring conversation of the week. 194 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 4: Why I wouldn't the pros take the plus three on 195 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 4: my homes like they know that long term it's it's 196 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 4: been good to them, it's been a winner. I would 197 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 4: just bummed out that not enough of them are taking 198 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 4: this Bills team. I don't think enough respects being paid 199 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 4: to this Bills team. So yeah, definitely a game I'm 200 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 4: looking forward to breaking down with you today. 201 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 2: I am too. I'm really excited. 202 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: To me, it's that game wraps up everything you want 203 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: to talk about from a handicapping point of view. As 204 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: a reminder, catch every episode of the Favorites live on YouTube. 205 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 1: For those who enjoying on YouTube, don't forget to give 206 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,080 Speaker 1: us a like and subscribe to the Action Network YouTube page. 207 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,839 Speaker 1: All Right, we got to get toward foxhol We got 208 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: to get to our big balls. We got to do 209 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: our money line parlay, which I think might go heavy 210 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 1: on favorites this week. I don't know if we have 211 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: a tr but let's start Houston at Baltimore. You hinted 212 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: at this a little bit. Baltimore nine and a half 213 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 1: point favorite Tuesday when we spoke, the line was at nine, 214 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: trending to eight and a half, and then it zoomed 215 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,599 Speaker 1: back up to nine and a half, and you just 216 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: said something really specific and interesting. You look in the app, 217 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: the money and the tickets are coming in on Houston. 218 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: So somebody's moving this game in Baltimore's direction, and I 219 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: can't figure out where that money is coming from. Do 220 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: you have any idea? 221 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 2: Can you suss it out? 222 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: What's your instinct for why that line moved back up 223 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: even though the wise guys and everybody seems to like Houston. 224 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 3: There's a bunch of factors. 225 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 4: But I mean, Evan just put in our chat the 226 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 4: weather that could be a factor why it moved, right, 227 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,320 Speaker 4: it's supposed to be twenty degrees, he's saying it's thirteen 228 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 4: to fifteen mile wins. 229 00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 3: That alone would move to the number. 230 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 4: Right, Like, why would you not want to take the 231 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 4: Ravens in a bad weather game? 232 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 3: That's a big that's a big deal. 233 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 4: Like they're they're a team that they can they can 234 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 4: thrive in that where we don't know a Houston indoor 235 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 4: team that plays better on indoor you know fields, We've 236 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 4: seen it with CJ. It's a big deal, So that 237 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 4: makes sense. I would say it was pretty crazy. I 238 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 4: was getting a lot of questions about a book we 239 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 4: can't name is kind of new into the whole gambling spear, 240 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 4: and they're trying to get new customers, and they went't 241 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 4: really bullish, and they moved I believe it was a 242 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 4: forty nine ers and the Ravens down to like eight 243 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 4: seven and a half at their books, and. 244 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 3: People were asking why they were doing that. 245 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 4: And if you obviously, if you don't know what this 246 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 4: book is, you probably miss a number then. But basically, 247 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 4: this book is trying to get new customers, and the 248 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 4: perfect time to get new customers is during the playoffs. 249 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 4: So that's why people were wondering why that line was 250 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 4: a point or two off every other book. It's that 251 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 4: simple fact. They're trying to get new people in there. 252 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 4: So I mean people are freaking out there, like if 253 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 4: you don't you love the forty nine ers share at 254 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 4: this number, yeah, of course, I mean every other book 255 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 4: had nine and a half for nine ers, that book 256 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 4: had eight. Yes, I would love to take it at 257 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 4: that book. But it's it's basically they're they're they what 258 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 4: they wanted to do. Happened, right, If you hadn't had 259 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 4: any money on the site, you added money to it, 260 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 4: and then you took that number because there was such 261 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 4: a great number. So some of the books movements have 262 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 4: been bs. But what I think the movement is is 263 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 4: the weather and then the other fact of what I 264 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 4: just told you, all those teasers, all those moneyline parlay 265 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 4: is coming in really heavy, all that Ravens team. 266 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 3: You know, that's that's what the public wants to do, right. 267 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 4: They wanted they want to take Baltimore like the Baltimore which. 268 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: I get it. 269 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 4: Like we talked about them a nauseum after that fort 270 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 4: nine Ers game. How incredible of the team they are 271 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 4: with that defense. But Kyle Hamilton's playing well with Rokwan 272 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 4: Smith is playing well. It's like they got all the pieces. 273 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 4: They're an incredibly talented team. It's us fading them is 274 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 4: more about playing the numbers, right, Like we talk all 275 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,599 Speaker 4: the time, we love Lamar under three, he's two and 276 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 4: a half favorite, he's a dog. Me and Chat hit 277 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 4: him almost every time like it's very rare. We won't 278 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 4: take that number, but when it gets over three and 279 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 4: a half, we pause, and then when it gets over 280 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 4: seven and a half, it's an automatic fade on him. 281 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 4: And I don't know if you saw Evan's article, but 282 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 4: it's like Evan put up the numbers. I knew we 283 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 4: had some of the numbers that kind of backed it up, 284 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 4: but it really stands out when Evan posted it. Well, 285 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 4: this is one that doesn't involve that. But on twelve 286 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 4: days rest in Lamar's career, he's won and six against 287 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 4: the spread. So that right there is something that pops 288 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 4: out to where it's like, in seven games he's won 289 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 4: and six on twelve days rest. 290 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 3: Okay, that's pretty interesting. Now we factor hih. 291 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 4: We talked about the past three seasons and minus three 292 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 4: and a half or higher. He's six and sixteen against 293 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 4: the spread, Like that's such a big deal, the fact 294 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 4: that these struggles is a big favorite. Now when it 295 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 4: goes above seven and a half, he's one in eight 296 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 4: against the spread. Me and you already talked about only 297 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 4: cover he had was in Week one of this season 298 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 4: against a rookie head coach and a rookie QB making 299 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 4: their first start together. So it just all lines up. 300 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 4: But we already loved it, and then the trends kind 301 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 4: of back it up as well, So you know, Lamar, 302 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 4: I would be happy to be proven wrong, but me 303 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 4: and you were up so big right now, it doesn't 304 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 4: even matter, especially if you've been listening to the show 305 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 4: for the last three four years. Like that was one 306 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 4: of our best calls we've ever had, was that Titans call. 307 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 4: Like that was a great call where Titans, I believe 308 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 4: we're a ten point underdog and they went out right. 309 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 3: If you go back and. 310 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 4: Watch that game, the Ravens should have won that game 311 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 4: thirty times over. Like it was the flukiest thing ever. 312 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 4: But Dad's playoffs. That's what I'm trying to beat into 313 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 4: people's heads here, is that's how playoff is so It 314 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 4: is tough trying to convince be able take the Texans 315 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 4: here just because I get where they're coming from about 316 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 4: the Ravens love and how well they played this year. 317 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 4: But I just I love the Texans in the spot. 318 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: Shat Simon, I believe we owe people of big balls, 319 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: we owe people of Foxhole. We've already committed to the 320 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: Bills and the Chiefs, as Assigmon says, and the Packers 321 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: and the Niners. As an exec decision, I believe this 322 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: needs to be our big balls better the week, say 323 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: allowed him proud Big Balls Better the week Houston Texans 324 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: plus nine and a half against the Baltimore Ravens. 325 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 2: Because this is what we're doing. There's no coming back 326 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 2: from it. 327 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: And look, this is a bit more of a controversial 328 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: call than you would think for people who want to 329 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: back big underdogs in this spot as professional betters, which 330 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: is what Simon and I would normally do, because there 331 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: is money come in on the Ravens and there is 332 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: a sentiment about the Ravens. For everything we can say 333 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: about Lamar Jackson as a favorite, he's been a home 334 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: favorite thirty eight times. 335 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 2: He's covered just fifteen of those. 336 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: Games over the last twenty years, he is ranked two 337 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: hundred and thirteenth of two hundred and twenty quarterbacks against 338 00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: the spread. As a home favorite, he is just historically 339 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 1: struggled as a favorite at home. That is the trend 340 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:11,080 Speaker 1: we are going to back right now. 341 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 4: Another amazing staff from Evan I love. In the last 342 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 4: twenty years in the playoffs, there's only been four teams 343 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 4: Chad that were underdogs of have a TD or more 344 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 4: that closed with over sixty percent of the tickets. So 345 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 4: four teams have ever done this. So in twenty fourteen, 346 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 4: we had the Saints at plus ten. They lost to Seattle, 347 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 4: but they covered. In two thousand and eight Giants against 348 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 4: New England, if you remember that the Super Bowl, they 349 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 4: were a Day one twelve point dog. They won seventeen 350 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 4: to fourteen. So right now we're two and oh on 351 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 4: covering these big dogs, big public dogs in the playoffs. 352 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 4: Two thousand and eight Giants plus seven against Dallas they 353 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 4: won twenty one to seventeen. 354 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 3: So not only are. 355 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 4: We have three and oh on taking these big dogs, 356 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 4: we have two that have one outright, and then two 357 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 4: thousand and eight Seahawks plus nine they got smoked. That's 358 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 4: why I want you to throw a little on the 359 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 4: money line just because if you play this spot long term, 360 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 4: it's it's a nice trend so far. I know it's 361 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 4: only four game sample, but it's been profitable taking these 362 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 4: big dogs not only on the number, but on the 363 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,680 Speaker 4: money line as well. So I had a couple questions 364 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 4: about why even mess with the Texans money line? If 365 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,399 Speaker 4: I have a future, I want it all, baby, Like 366 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 4: I said, if you don't want to take the money line, 367 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 4: you just want to write your future, go for it. 368 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 4: But it's like if I like a spot, I'm going 369 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 4: to keep throwing money on it. So obviously I love 370 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 4: the number. Yes, like Chad said, a little scary, it 371 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 4: came back up. And now if it makes a little 372 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 4: bit more sense now when we're talking about weather, because 373 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 4: that is a big deal the factor in the weather here. 374 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 4: So if you've been riding these unders too, these wind unders, 375 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 4: if it holds and we're getting fifteen twenty more prior 376 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 4: wins by kickoff, if you're wondering what me and try 377 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 4: to like it a total in that game. But it's 378 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 4: the under. We like the unders. We play wind unders here, 379 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 4: so double play on that one. Taking the dog, taking the. 380 00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: Under speaking of double play, Green Bay at San Francisco. 381 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: San Francisco is a nine and a half point favorite. 382 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: This was my exec decision. 383 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 2: I still love it. I love it even more because 384 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 2: the majority. 385 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: Of the bets, meaning the squares, are coming in on 386 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: the Packers. 387 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: They are a public dog. 388 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: I'm so thrilled about this. Just the value on this 389 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: team is inflated. This team should be a eleven to 390 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: twelve point underdog in this spot. And we have seen 391 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: this too many times, too many times with a team 392 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,239 Speaker 1: coming in hot and then getting demolished. They are one 393 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: of the youngest teams in the league. They're just happy 394 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: to be here. This is all a surprise to them. 395 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: In November, they were on the outside looking in. They 396 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: needed a run in the last two months of the 397 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: year just to get to this spot. The Niners have 398 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: the best shot to win the Super Bowl they have 399 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: had during Kyle Shanahan's reign. There is no dominant team 400 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: in the AFC right so to me. Remember, the Packers 401 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: lost to the Giants second half of the season, lost 402 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: of the Steelers second half of the season, gave up 403 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: thirty points to the Panthers second half of the season, 404 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: I'm betting the Niners. I might even be tempted Simon 405 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 1: to take some of the out lines Niners minus twenty 406 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: one plus three thirty five minus twenty four plus forty six. 407 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 2: I'm gonna sprinkle. I feel so good about this game. Sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle. 408 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 4: I think the first call I got when we got 409 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 4: off our call on Tuesday was a buddy or a 410 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 4: pro saying, fucking chat. As soon as you guys said 411 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 4: take the forty nine ers minus ten and moved to 412 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 4: nine and a half, I said, yeah, sounds about right. 413 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just we love it. I got. The more 414 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 3: I dive into it, I'm with you. 415 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 4: And then I read Evans about you know, Shanahan as 416 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 4: a home favorite, you know. 417 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 3: Big favorites like this. 418 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 4: It's all there, like I have no fear in taking 419 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 4: this number and I feel like it nailed it too, 420 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 4: where we're getting a good number just because of what 421 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 4: happened last week with Dallas, like that blowout. 422 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I went back and watched the tape. 423 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 4: It's like Jir Jordan Love is next level right now, 424 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 4: Like his confidence is out of this world. And that's 425 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 4: the way they stay in this and that's why the 426 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 4: pros are backing a little bit of the screen Bay team. 427 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 3: It's because of that. It's like at the ten I 428 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 3: understood why. 429 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 4: It's like, Okay, you're hoping for a backdoor Jordan of love, 430 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 4: because that's why I'm in agreeance with you, which feels 431 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 4: like this forty nine Ers offense is going to absolutely 432 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 4: roll on this Green Bay defense, Like there is not 433 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 4: going to be a bunch of pick sixes, right, Like 434 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 4: I just can't see brock Purty having a meltdown, Like yeah, 435 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 4: the first thirty plays are going to be totally scripted 436 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 4: by Shanahan, So it's like I have no fear at 437 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 4: all compared to Shanahan's script with McCarthy's script against that 438 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 4: Green Bay's defense. Yeah, ched like the fact that we're 439 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 4: getting nine and a half again. I kind of wanted 440 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 4: to make in my foxhole, but I don't know if 441 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 4: that'd be sacrilege, just because I just love it that 442 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 4: it's come down and it's like I don't mind it, 443 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 4: and again like I already bet it again. I used 444 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 4: that book I talked about that were like weird enough 445 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,239 Speaker 4: to give us the minus eight where it's like, all right, 446 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 4: your sons of bitches. I'll be a new customer to 447 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,239 Speaker 4: your shit site and bet this number. If that's what 448 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 4: you guys want, that's what I'll do. So yeah, it's 449 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 4: it's crazy, It's it moved like it did, and I'm 450 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 4: shocked every book is holding steady at nine and a half. 451 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 4: Like you said, it's the public dog of the week 452 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 4: is Green Bay. So the books you're saying, all right, 453 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 4: we don't want to give anyone else to ten, then 454 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 4: we'll just hold it the nine and a half and 455 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 4: I'll be interested if it pops by game time, just 456 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 4: because of all the teasers and all the bets coming 457 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 4: in on the forty nine ers, I think late. 458 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: For the record, I said the niners were my executive 459 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: decision at nine and a half, not at ten. They 460 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: were not at ten on Tuesday when we had the 461 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: podcast number. 462 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 3: One, you were looking to live numbers. 463 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 4: So I was it was ten at bet three sixty 464 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 4: five when you said it, and Matt Mitchell had the 465 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 4: graphic cup at ten. 466 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 2: Oh he did, correct. 467 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 3: Okay, I wouldn't lie to you, brother, Come on now. 468 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 2: I wrote it down as nine and a half. I 469 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 2: didn't write it down as. 470 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 4: N Yeah, no, just because we were in studio, like 471 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 4: you couldn't see what the live number was. 472 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 3: Ten. That's why Matt Mitchell had it as such. 473 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 2: Which is fair, all right, that's fair. Fine, I'll take 474 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 2: it at ten, totally fine. Number one, number one, number two. 475 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: This is a luck over. The luck rankings this past 476 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: week went five and one. This is a luck over. 477 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: And what did I say the other day? I think 478 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: the final score is going to be forty two to fourteen. 479 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: So we like the over in this game. I'm betting 480 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: the over. I'm betting the Niners. I'm betting some all 481 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: Niners as huge favorites, as high as I can get it, 482 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: at the biggest number I can get it. Here's a 483 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: great stat if you like Green Bay to pull the upset. 484 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 2: Consider this. 485 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: Since twenty eleven, eighteen underdogs one outright in the wild 486 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: card round, seventeen of those eighteen lost in the next round. 487 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan at home and. 488 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: As a favorite in the playoffs four to zer straight 489 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: up and against the spread in both spots since nineteen 490 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: ninety the only coach. 491 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,479 Speaker 2: Four and oh were better in that spot. But here's 492 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 2: why I like the forty nine ers so much. This weekend. 493 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: They have nine wins of sixteen or more points this season, 494 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 1: most this year, with the Cowboys eleven wins of ten 495 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: points or more this season, most in the NFL. This 496 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: is just a great spot for this team that is 497 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: probably the best team in the league right now. 498 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, and like you said, it took me a minute 499 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 4: to come around. I think the biggest one for me 500 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 4: is just their defense, where I know the forty nine 501 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 4: ers defense will be able to get stops and I 502 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 4: don't know if the Green Bay defense will even if 503 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 4: Purdy comes out a little rusty from this extended rest, 504 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 4: and you know, they start out sloppy in the first quarter. 505 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 4: We've seen it. I mean even when they played the Eagles, 506 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,959 Speaker 4: we saw them going, you know that run. I think 507 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 4: they scored five straight times where it's like once a 508 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 4: Fortnitas offense gets going, it's just you can't stop them. 509 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 4: And like everyone's healthy, Like just going through their injury 510 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 4: report right now, like it's all good. Like it's crazy, 511 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 4: how you know, not that I thought McCaffrey is gonna 512 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 4: miss time, but like he was banged up towards the 513 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 4: end of the season. I mean they held him out, 514 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 4: They pulled him out of a game because I think 515 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 4: he took a shot right on his knee, and it's 516 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 4: like they got the rest. All their guys are good 517 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 4: to go. It's just it's so crucial getting that one seed, 518 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 4: especially a team like this that's so physical. So yeah, 519 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 4: couldn't couldn't have picked the worst spot for Green Bay 520 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 4: to walk into, especially when they're overinflated, like he talked 521 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,239 Speaker 4: about it. Just the line moved too much based off 522 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 4: of what happened last week. 523 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 3: It's like, I do think Green Bay is good. I 524 00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 3: think they are. 525 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 4: I mean, it's crazy to say I would have them 526 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 4: higher rated obviously than a bunch of teams, like even 527 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 4: the Eagles, who were ahead of them. It's like they've 528 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 4: passed them right, Like how they're playing right now, they 529 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 4: are a better team than yous that we're playing. So 530 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 4: nothing but respect green Band what they've done this season. 531 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 4: It's just it's just a bad spot against a really 532 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 4: high powered dolphinse with the forty nine ers, and just 533 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 4: I just can't see how they keep this one closed. 534 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 3: So I get where you're doing the all line. 535 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 4: Stuff and betting all that, but yeah, like the fact 536 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 4: you're getting nine and a half. 537 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 3: That makes me so happy. 538 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 4: Everyone can get that number now, just because the public 539 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 4: have bet this down. 540 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: Go get it and now a quick word from our sponsor, 541 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: Hello Fresh.

I think it cost us half 564 00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 1: a point in value. I think we both still like 565 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: the Bucks a lot here. You can find a seven 566 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: at somewhere take it. The majority of the bets are 567 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: coming into the Lions. That's why I'm thinking it's got 568 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: to be our foxhole. The trait got outgained by the Rams, 569 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 1: and if you look at the matchup, Baker Mayfield is 570 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: going to torch this Lion's secondary and everyone knows what 571 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles is gonna do. He does not disguise it. 572 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: Blitz Blitz, Blitz. There's one thing Jared Goff has not 573 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: been as effective against. 574 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 2: It's the blitz. It's extra pressure. I feel like we 575 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 2: got to go with the Bucks. 576 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, my model likes the Bucks. I wanted to take 577 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 3: the Bucks. 578 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 4: It just sucks all the pushback I got where I 579 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 4: get where the pros are coming from. 580 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 3: Why they love the Lions. 581 00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 4: Here, you know, no one thinks the Bucks are a 582 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 4: better team, right, The Lions are obviously the better team. 583 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 4: They deserve to be this big of a spread number, 584 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 4: but means I just think it's too high. That's why 585 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 4: we want to take the Bucks, as simple as that. 586 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 4: Where we're just playing the numbers here. So yeah, I 587 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 4: think I guess Lions fans are just very sensitive right 588 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 4: now because they haven't been this position. They haven't won 589 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 4: a playoff game in thirty years, and they're kind of 590 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 4: puffing their chests out and they quickly went from this 591 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 4: lovable underdog character. So I think every NFL fan kind 592 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 4: of hates them now a week into the playoffs, are 593 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 4: just it's too much. Lions fans, like, I don't know, 594 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 4: they're just they're being aggressive Like me and Chad, it's 595 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 4: all business here. It's all business, like I got nothing 596 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 4: against the lines. We're not begging you to take the 597 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 4: Bucks in the money line. We're just telling you to 598 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 4: cover this number like that's that's the key here. It's 599 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 4: like the numbers too big. We think it should be 600 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 4: closer below six. It's six and a half seven. Like 601 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 4: Chad said, did a couple of books, you can still 602 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 4: get seven's how can we not take that number like this? 603 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 4: This team, the back door is always open, and people 604 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 4: point to they played early in the season. 605 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 3: Me and Chad were on the Bucks. 606 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 4: Yes, people kept reminding us that we took the Bucks 607 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 4: there against this Lions team at home. They lost twenty 608 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 4: to six, and I went back and watched it, and 609 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 4: my biggest takeaway was it was just a bad Baker game. 610 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 4: Baker played terrible in that game, and they were just 611 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 4: never gonna be in a Baker camp play. So Sam 612 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,000 Speaker 4: goes here, Baker lays an egg. Yeah, of course the 613 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 4: Lions are gonna dominate and win this game. But Chad 614 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 4: just talked about it. It's like their secondary can be 615 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 4: moved on. They're not a team that is going to 616 00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 4: shut down another offense. They're a team that needs to 617 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 4: outscore you. And that's the fear with back in the 618 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 4: alliance here. It's just like, are we gonna get the 619 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 4: same exact thing that happened last week where golf looked 620 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 4: incredible in the first half and then just totally fell 621 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 4: off a cliff after a team that made the adjustment 622 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 4: for the second half like that really did happen. He 623 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 4: put up three points at home against that Rams team. 624 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 4: He did struggle in that second half. As much as 625 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 4: I like to make fun of these dinosaur coaches like 626 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 4: Todd Bowles, you know I expected him able to make 627 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,240 Speaker 4: adjustments to give golf problems. So you know, Chad, Chad, 628 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 4: you're you've talked me into it. I did get bullied 629 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 4: pretty hard about this where people are like you guys 630 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,000 Speaker 4: got to stop overthinking. This is just taking the Signs 631 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 4: team because the shotgun of pros do like the Lions here. 632 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 3: I just I can't get there. This big of a number, 633 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 3: especially at the seven, just feels way too big. So yeah, 634 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 3: the the. 635 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 4: Lions team have to do what they did last week 636 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 4: against the Rams. Their their their defense, gotta what. 637 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 3: I talked about. 638 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,239 Speaker 4: They gotta play like the old school football style. They 639 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 4: gotta be rough, they gotta be hitting guys every play. 640 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 4: They gotta be all over Mike Evans and Gywins. And 641 00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 4: you know that's how they could win this game and 642 00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 4: stopping those two guys. But me and you are betting 643 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 4: they won't be able to and like I feel confident 644 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 4: in doing that. When you look at the numbers, it's 645 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 4: just how bad they are against the past. I mean, 646 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 4: we just saw what Pooka and Cooper did. Mike Evans 647 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 4: and Guywin aren't there fall far of the step down? 648 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 4: Like these guys are such producers, especially Mike Evans had 649 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 4: such a bad week last week. 650 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 3: Chad. I love that bounce back spot. 651 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 4: I know we don't do props on here, but I 652 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 4: do love Mike evans props this upcoming week. I like 653 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,360 Speaker 4: his anytime touchdown, I like his over receiving yards. It's 654 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 4: just a great bounce back spot for a Hall of 655 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 4: Famer who just had a bad week last week. And 656 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 4: you know we talked about this week in interviews. It's 657 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 4: like he wants to get that back.

Folks should listen to Stucky and 661 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: Raybound on the Action Network Thursday episode because they went deep, deep, 662 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: deep on a breakdown of this game from the perspective 663 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: of the Lions secondary against Baker and the Bucks, and 664 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: a reminder the last four games, the Lions defense has 665 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: given up Stafford three hundred and sixty seven yards Hookah 666 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,200 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty one yards receiving, Nick Mullins three 667 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,000 Speaker 1: ninety six, Justin Jefferson one hundred and ninety two yards receiving, 668 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: Dak three hundred and forty five yards throwing, Ceedee Lamb 669 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty seven yards receiving, and then that 670 00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: previous game against Minnesota, Nick Mullins four hundred and eleven 671 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 1: yards passing JJ, Justin Jefferson one hundred and forty one 672 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: yards receiving. Last week, Kate Otton, who has become America's 673 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: sweetheart as a tight end. 674 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 2: He was the Action Network Pick of the Week. 675 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: So many player props were one on Kate Otten, including 676 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell and Evan Abrams and Stuckey with a listener 677 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: at a random bar betting Kate outen alt Lines Live 678 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: Lines on Monday Night. You just have to expect another 679 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: big game from the receivers in this in this matchup, 680 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,959 Speaker 1: and I think that's what keeps that's what keeps the 681 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: Bucks close, because you said it in that first game, 682 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: like Baker just missed a lot of balls downfield. 683 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, he laid it to a leg. 684 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 4: And that's the that's the fear, and that's why I 685 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 4: think I'm getting pushed back from guys who like Detroit 686 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 4: here where it's like I'm investing too much in Baker 687 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 4: after one of Baker's better games. But if you really 688 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 4: go into the numbers last week, Baker did play really well. 689 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 4: It wasn't like his best game ever, right, he just 690 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 4: took advantage of the opportunities the Eagles were giving to him. 691 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,600 Speaker 3: And you know, that's why we like Baker. 692 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 4: It's like we talk about his grit and he's just 693 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 4: a constant pro where it's like I like where Baker 694 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 4: can go over five throwing and it does not fade him. 695 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 4: He still has a confidence as if he just won 696 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 4: five for five throwing. It's like the guy just does 697 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 4: not get shaken that way. And you know, another amazing 698 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 4: staff from Evan. Again it's a small sample. Baker in 699 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 4: his career is undefeated against the spread in the playoffs, right, 700 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 4: Like he's just he covers in the playoffs. He's always 701 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,440 Speaker 4: a little bit underrated. So this feels again like he's 702 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 4: a little underrated here. I have this number five and 703 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 4: a half, it's six and a half seven. We love 704 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 4: to take that value there, especially on acrossing key numbers 705 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 4: here like six and a half and seven. So Yeah, Unfortunately, 706 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 4: our book is showing six and a half, so that's 707 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 4: what we'll have to play. But like Chad said, there's 708 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 4: there's a bunch of sevens out there. You can go 709 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 4: get people. 710 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 1: I do think come Sunday, this will be back at seven. 711 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: I would wait on this one because the money's going 712 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: to keep coming into the Alliance. They are America's sweetheart team. 713 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: They're a public team. We've seen these lines move as 714 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: games have gotten closer to kickoff. 715 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 2: I would hold off. We saw it last. 716 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: Week the Chiefs went from four to four and a 717 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 1: half to five to five and a half against the Dolphins. 718 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 1: If you like the dog here, give it a second. 719 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: But the Bucks plus six and a half will be 720 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: our Foxholt. 721 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 2: You know me, regardless of what's going on, I'm a 722 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 2: foxhole guy. I commit to a team, I commit to 723 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:21,439 Speaker 2: a city. 724 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 3: I'm a foxhole guy. 725 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:23,320 Speaker 2: Simon. 726 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: This is just the second time in Lions franchise history 727 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: that they have been favorites in the playoffs and consecutive games. 728 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: How long ago was the last time, Matt Mitchell please 729 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: play the hot new number one recording sweeping America. The 730 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,240 Speaker 1: last time the Lions were favored in consecutive playoff. 731 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:55,399 Speaker 4: Games asal Mommy kissing a close. 732 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,760 Speaker 3: A money the MISSLEO. 733 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus December nineteen fifty two. Simon, 734 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,040 Speaker 1: I wasn't even born in December of nineteen fifty two. 735 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 3: My dad wasn't even born yet, so that is a long. 736 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: Time ago, Thank fucking god. Oh I can say about that. 737 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: All right, Kent City Buffalo. 738 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,799 Speaker 2: It's the game. We got to talk about. Everything else 739 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 2: is preamble. This is the game. 740 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: This was your Simon says, been bouncing around two and 741 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:30,879 Speaker 1: a half three, two and a half three, It's back 742 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: down to two and a half to pros Joe's game. 743 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,080 Speaker 1: Bets are on the Chiefs. Money is on the Bills. 744 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: I did bet it this morning. I know on Tuesday 745 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 1: I was. I was fifty to fifty this morning. Bills 746 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: by a million. Russeuell Douglas practice on Wednesday. Sean McDermott 747 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 1: in his press conference yesterday made it seem like linebacker 748 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,120 Speaker 1: Terrell Bernard, who caught it off the field old could 749 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,360 Speaker 1: play on Sunday. This was the big issue for me 750 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: was the injuries. 751 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 3: Is a J. 752 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 1: Klein off the street going to be the guy defending 753 00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: the middle of the field. But everything you said about 754 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,800 Speaker 1: the Chief is right, Like they're not the same team, 755 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: so you gotta This is when it gets really fun. 756 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: You need to understand when the wave is cresting. And 757 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:27,359 Speaker 1: that's the scariest part of betting. I believe we are 758 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:28,920 Speaker 1: picking a time when the wave is cresting. 759 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's also like, I remember you were worried 760 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 4: about anjel on Tuesday, and we didn't talk too much 761 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 4: about it, but it was also in the back of 762 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 4: mind of like it's the last game, buddy, Like they'll 763 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 4: give them the pain thats he needs, right, It's just like, 764 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 4: can you give us one more? 765 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 3: That's how every all these guys are so damned tough. 766 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 4: I mean, it's like the hockey thing, right, the hockey 767 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,399 Speaker 4: guys play with all these injuries and the season ends 768 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 4: they get about ten surgeries. So the same goes for football. 769 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 4: I was shocked that there wasn't as much love for 770 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,240 Speaker 4: the Bills. I thought there would be, Like, it seems 771 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 4: like guys are just scared against the go against my homes, honestly, 772 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 4: and they feel like not that it's lazy betting, but 773 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 4: they're just like, you know, what, I'm just going to 774 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,359 Speaker 4: take the three and I haven't worry about this one 775 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 4: where it's like, why don't you just do that with 776 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 4: the Bills of the two and a half? Like that 777 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,919 Speaker 4: to me just feels like the smart play, Like like. 778 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 3: You just said, it's all lined up there the Bills. 779 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 4: Yeah, we need those guys in the middle, like you 780 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 4: talked about, like we don't want guys who just got 781 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,280 Speaker 4: up bubble their couch playing middle linebacker for this Bills 782 00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,720 Speaker 4: team against Mahomes. But it's like, I'm just not scared 783 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 4: of Mahomes and this team and like just going through 784 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 4: this last you know, a couple months with them, it's 785 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 4: like they'll have a game where they kind of show 786 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 4: it off, right, they're back to their ar whatsoft. I 787 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:35,919 Speaker 4: think they had a game where they put up thirty 788 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 4: one points in the middle of the season and like 789 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 4: everyone jumped right back on them, and then the next 790 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,439 Speaker 4: week they could barely move the ball against Denver. It's 791 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 4: like they're just they're just so inconsistent and the Bills, 792 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,320 Speaker 4: whatever you want to say about them being inconsistent and 793 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 4: Josh Allen turnovers and everything like that, they the inconsistency 794 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 4: kind of changed for me when they made a change 795 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,719 Speaker 4: of oc and they really did find an identity by 796 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 4: running the ball more. And it's like that's going to 797 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,919 Speaker 4: pay dividends to them. I feel like in the playoffs right, 798 00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 4: like when they need something to lean, I feel like 799 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 4: they'll be able to do that. And you know, historically, 800 00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 4: another thing I stole from Evan, it's like Josh Allen 801 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 4: against really good defenses actually plays really well in his career, 802 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 4: Like he performs really well against really good defenses. So 803 00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 4: I know what a couple of pros bring that up 804 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 4: where it's like, well, they have the better defense for 805 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 4: the Chiefs. 806 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,400 Speaker 3: It's like Josh Allen's cancels out. 807 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 4: I mean, Josh Allen, can we not agree he's the 808 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 4: best quarterback in the draft, like left in the playoffs 809 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 4: right from like what the way he's played coming in 810 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 4: and him you know him and that Steelers game where 811 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 4: it's like that ability to run and be so big 812 00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 4: and strong, it's just such an X factor. 813 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:39,360 Speaker 3: You know. 814 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 4: We've even talked about the fact that the Chiefs have 815 00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 4: never played in Buffalo when the Bills have had a 816 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,280 Speaker 4: full stadium of their fans, Like it's just all points 817 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,959 Speaker 4: to them. And the only thing keeping this down below 818 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 4: the three. It's like it's the professionals taking the three 819 00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 4: on the Chiefs. So it is just such an interesting 820 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,879 Speaker 4: line this week where it's like I thought it would 821 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,560 Speaker 4: be stuck in three all week. I'm shocked the books 822 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,640 Speaker 4: are taking the two and a halfs, But I have 823 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 4: to believe they're laying another bad line, like they've laid 824 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,240 Speaker 4: a couple bad lines already this playoffs. 825 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 3: I think this is another bad line by the book. 826 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:14,240 Speaker 1: Every team has that moment where they get over the hump. 827 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,720 Speaker 1: And you and I have loved the Bills the second 828 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,479 Speaker 1: half of the season. We've been riding them. We think 829 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,280 Speaker 1: they could be as good, if not better than the Ravens, 830 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 1: especially as this defense was coming on and getting more 831 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: comfortable after all the injuries and what they've done with 832 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 1: Joe Brady. I mean, we saw it the way Josh 833 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: Allen ran the ball against the Steelers. As long as 834 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: they can make the right coaching decisions and stay out 835 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 1: of their own way, the Chiefs have only beaten one 836 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,719 Speaker 1: playoff team this entire year, the Miami Dolphins. They did 837 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 1: it twice, and so this is a great spot for 838 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: the Bills to psychologically, it's an important game for them, 839 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 1: it's a important game for Josh Allen, important game for McDermott. 840 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 1: Sets up perfectly if they can be healthy playing in 841 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:09,879 Speaker 1: front of the home crowd, cold conditions like Yeah, the 842 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: more we talk about it, the more it seems like 843 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: the right thing to do. 844 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, only the way the Bills lose. 845 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 4: The Bills beat themselves, right, if Josh Allen has a meltdown, 846 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 4: turns the ball over a bunch, they're sloppy, they're not 847 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 4: making the right plays. 848 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 3: Of course they're going to lose this game. But it's like, if. 849 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 4: They just played the way they should, I just don't 850 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 4: see a way that this team beats them. And I 851 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 4: know you love ref stats, and a couple people send 852 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,480 Speaker 4: this to me. Obviously, this ref stat is not good 853 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 4: for us. I don't know if you saw this. It's 854 00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 4: Sean Hockley will be the ref for this game. So 855 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,840 Speaker 4: in this history, Mahomes is eight and two when he 856 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 4: refs his games, including two and zero in the playoffs. 857 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 4: The Bills, in the other hand, they have forty penalties 858 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 4: for three hundred and forty seven yards called against them 859 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 4: in four games with hockey, so the average ten penalties 860 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 4: a game with this guy when he refs their game. 861 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 4: So not the stat we want to see the refs. 862 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,560 Speaker 4: The ref clearly is not good to this Bills team. 863 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 4: But I'm still not worried about. I know a lot 864 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 4: of people send it to us. We do love ref stabs, 865 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:11,360 Speaker 4: but it's just like they the NFL is going to 866 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 4: try to fix this game from a homes people, if 867 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 4: that's what you're worried about, they are just as happy 868 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 4: moving Josh Allen along and this Bills franchise along. So 869 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 4: don't don't don't start started the crazy conspiracies yet. 870 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 3: But yes, if if they. 871 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,120 Speaker 4: Don't cover this game and a ref makes a big 872 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:26,960 Speaker 4: call at the end of this I will bring the 873 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,280 Speaker 4: stat back up and we will bitch about him refereeing 874 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:30,919 Speaker 4: this Bills game. 875 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: Look what the NFL is really gonna want? I think 876 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 1: they want a Bills Niners super Bowl. 877 00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 3: It's line up though. 878 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,040 Speaker 4: I saw I think the actually ever tweeted out someone 879 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 4: made that bet for like ten to fifteen bucks to 880 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 4: win like five K. It's like, it looks like such 881 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 4: a great bet now. But if you made that bet 882 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 4: a month ago, people, and I thought you were a 883 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 4: crazy person. 884 00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:53,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, I made that bet before the season, 885 00:41:55,080 --> 00:42:00,080 Speaker 1: did you My two best remaining futures are and I 886 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: wanted to talk about this next week. If it advances 887 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:09,760 Speaker 1: to that, how do I hedge? Because my best futures 888 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: remaining are Niners Chiefs and Niners Bills matchups. And you 889 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,360 Speaker 1: know why I made that bet because before the season began, 890 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,439 Speaker 1: Evan Abrams had a great stat that I think nine 891 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,040 Speaker 1: of the past ten Super Bowl winners had odds of 892 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: twelve to one or less when the season began. So 893 00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,360 Speaker 1: I just did a round robin of all the matchups 894 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:37,040 Speaker 1: and it was all like it was it was Bengals, Chiefs, 895 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: Bills against Niners Eagles in every pairing. 896 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,720 Speaker 2: So I just did that and I've got two remaining. 897 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,239 Speaker 4: Pretty good, right, Yeah, as I say, you're in a 898 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,239 Speaker 4: nice spot where it's like, basically with that hedge, it's 899 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 4: pretty simple. You just let the first game play right, 900 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,479 Speaker 4: So next week the Foy Niners are the first game. 901 00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 4: You'll just let that play out and then you can 902 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 4: hedge the next game if you're really scary. But yeah, 903 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:01,520 Speaker 4: that's that's a great bet. 904 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:03,919 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're gonna talk about this on next week's show. 905 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,160 Speaker 1: How much am I hedging at four? Is the question 906 00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,719 Speaker 1: before we get to that. Normally we would do the 907 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: money line underdog round robin. A reminder, we're on the 908 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: Bills here minus two and a half. Normally we do 909 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:20,439 Speaker 1: the money line underdog round robin. We love the Niners here, 910 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 1: we like the Bills here. I guess we could do 911 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:29,960 Speaker 1: a money line underdog round robin of the Texans and 912 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,520 Speaker 1: the Bucks, but I. 913 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 3: Almost rather I wouldn't do Bucks. 914 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 4: I know it sounds stupid, but I just I just 915 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,759 Speaker 4: feel like the Lions will win this game, like the 916 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 4: I don't know, just the fact that Campbell is such 917 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,480 Speaker 4: a high risk guy that to me gives them the 918 00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 4: edge to win it where I wouldn't bet. I know, 919 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 4: I usually like Bend the Dog's on line. It's just 920 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 4: I feel like his new age think is going to 921 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,520 Speaker 4: beat out Todd Bulls old Jage thinking. That's why I 922 00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 4: just haven't touched their money line. But yeah, the three 923 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,439 Speaker 4: favorites and the one dog. If the Texans come through, 924 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,960 Speaker 4: that's gonna be a really nice paid in a money 925 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:05,720 Speaker 4: line round robin. 926 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:08,279 Speaker 1: So I feel like our money line round robin should 927 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: really be Texans, Lions, Niners. 928 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 2: And bills. 929 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I like that. 930 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:16,720 Speaker 2: Put it in the book. 931 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:21,879 Speaker 1: Make Little Caesars the official pizza sponsor of the NFL 932 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,240 Speaker 1: part of your game day, Simon, if a genie granted 933 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 1: you three wishes, how many of your wishes would be 934 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 1: related to Little Caesar's Pizza? 935 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 3: All of them? 936 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:30,839 Speaker 2: All three? 937 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:31,279 Speaker 5: That's right. 938 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 1: Order online during our pizza pizza pre game one hour 939 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,160 Speaker 1: before NFL games and get ready for some football and fun. 940 00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,880 Speaker 1: Choose your favorite Little Caesar's pizza or pick the topics 941 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: you crave.

And I'm 958 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,320 Speaker 4: pretty heavy on the forty nine ers and nine and 959 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 4: a half, so I also thought that'd be gone. But 960 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 4: the Texans, like, I'm just I've been hoping to get 961 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 4: to ten, so the Texans might end up as my 962 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,279 Speaker 4: bigger bet my time Saturday comes around. But it's like 963 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 4: I threw a really small amount on the ten when 964 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,920 Speaker 4: it popped on Sunday when we were in New York 965 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 4: or Monday morning, and it just hasn't gotten back to it, 966 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 4: so that that Texan's my I wouldn't be my biggest 967 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,439 Speaker 4: bet because I'm just waiting for the ten. But yeah, 968 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 4: my two favorite bet ay now definitely Texans and Bills. 969 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:08,240 Speaker 2: No Niners and Bills. 970 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,440 Speaker 4: Yeah sure, I meant by the time their games, probably 971 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 4: my two biggest bets Bills in Texans. 972 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 2: But right now you really like the nine ers nine 973 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:16,960 Speaker 2: and a half. 974 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 3: I'm in on it nine and a half. 975 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,720 Speaker 1: Like your buddy Chad said, just saying as a reminder 976 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,239 Speaker 1: the Favorites Podcast.

We're finished talking, all right, guys. 996 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,160 Speaker 3: So if you like the underdogs, this week. 997 00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 5: I think you're gonna love this one. So teams to 998 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 5: win by double digits in the wildcard round facing a 999 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 5: team who didn't are seventeen and seven against the spread 1000 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,280 Speaker 5: in the next round over the last twenty years. Not shabby. 1001 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 5: When those teams are underdogs, they are seventeen and four 1002 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:36,080 Speaker 5: against the spread. That is the Texans, that is the Bucks, 1003 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 5: that is also the Packers. 1004 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:39,839 Speaker 3: Now I gotta put a little bit of water on. 1005 00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,759 Speaker 5: The Packers for a second here, because this is Matt 1006 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,919 Speaker 5: Mitchell's favorite trend. If you're into travel trends, this one 1007 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 5: is a good San Francisco one. So we have a 1008 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,880 Speaker 5: playoff road team traveling from Est Eastern Standard and Central 1009 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 5: Central Standard to West Coast on short rest. It's only 1010 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,200 Speaker 5: happened eight times since two thousand and six. Those teams 1011 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 5: have lost seven of eight. Eight also failed to cover 1012 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,080 Speaker 5: seven of eight. So travel in twenty twenty four definitely 1013 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,520 Speaker 5: not what it used to be. But with that and 1014 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 5: the short rest hasn't been good for history. Now Simon 1015 00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,720 Speaker 5: used his stat I'm gonna finish it. So Josh Allen 1016 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 5: plays really really well against good defenses in his career. 1017 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:23,360 Speaker 5: He is twenty six and one against the spread seventy 1018 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:27,240 Speaker 5: seven percent when facing a team allowing under twenty points 1019 00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,840 Speaker 5: per game over the last twenty years. That is the 1020 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,759 Speaker 5: second best of two hundred and forty seven quarterbacks. He's 1021 00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 5: sandwiched between two pretty decent quarterbacks and Tom Brady and 1022 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:41,600 Speaker 5: Peyton Manning at one In third and finally, Chad mentioned 1023 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:42,200 Speaker 5: this one earlier. 1024 00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:43,479 Speaker 3: I'm also going to finish the loop. 1025 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,799 Speaker 5: If the Lions close above a three and a half 1026 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,800 Speaker 5: point favorite, they'll be their biggest line as a favorite 1027 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 5: in a playoff game in franchise history. 1028 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 3: And one more. 1029 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 5: This is crazy, so in the regular season and postseason, 1030 00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 5: the Lions have been favored by six points or more 1031 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 5: versus a winning team just twice in the last twenty years. 1032 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 5: They are oh and too straight up, oh and two 1033 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,480 Speaker 5: against the spread, with the last game coming all the 1034 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,400 Speaker 5: way in twenty twelve. Truly unprecedented times for Detroit. 1035 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:18,439 Speaker 1: It is insane how excited Detroit got a shout out 1036 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 1: at the Emmys.
