1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. 2 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 2: What is up, Drake Fire Faym, It's me Jason McIntyre, 3 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:20,920 Speaker 2: Straight Foyer for Friday, December the fifth. It's a great, 4 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 2: great weekend for football, but Thursday night not great for 5 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,360 Speaker 2: your boy. I was on Dallas the overhit, but the 6 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 2: Cowboys did not. Cowboys actually get run off the field 7 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: in Detroit forty four to thirty. Disappointing result for the Cowboys, 8 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 2: but I'm sure Jerry Jones somewhere will. 9 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: Be like, hey, you know, what. 10 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 2: Are our defense? You know we thought we really fixed 11 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 2: it with Quinn and Williams and company. Yeah, I'm sure 12 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: they did. Detroit Lions went up and down the field, 13 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 2: four hundred eight yards of offense, seven point two yards 14 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: for play. How about this final seven possessions Lions with 15 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: zero punts, four tudies, two field goals and a missfield 16 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: goal or a block field goal, whatever you want to 17 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: call embarrassing stuff from the Cowboys. They basically I think 18 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: I saw nine percent chance to make the playoffs. I 19 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: mean with that defense, you just got to assume they 20 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 2: don't really have a shot. It's just not a real 21 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: serious defense. And now you know the idea of Dallas 22 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 2: winning five in a row going to the playoffs like 23 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 2: that feels like a pipe dream. I bet on Dak 24 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 2: to win the MVP this week. That was stupid. You know, 25 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 2: this loss basically takes him out of it. Maybe they 26 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: win their Final four and they sneak in a wild 27 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: card berth, but they need like fifty seven things to 28 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,919 Speaker 2: happen to pull that off. So I don't see that happening. 29 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: I feel like Cowboys are cooked. And then if you 30 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 2: want to get real scared, if you're Dallas, like what 31 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: are you doing in the offseason? You've sunk crap ton 32 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: of money into the defensive tackle position with Williams Clark 33 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: and Oogie I don't even know how to say his name, 34 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: but it's like, and you have no good linebackers are slow, 35 00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 2: the secondary stinks, and then you've got the highest pay 36 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 2: quarterback in the league with the biggest cap hit. And oh, 37 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: by the way, Pickens is gonna want a big deal. 38 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: Oh well, just franchise tag him. Yeah you think he's 39 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 2: gonna like that? It says like Brandon Ayuk kind of 40 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: nonsense written all over it. That was just a devastating 41 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: loss for the Cowboys. I'll just say this. I'm not 42 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 2: gonna hammer him too much, but I just didn't at 43 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: all understand the offensive strategy for Dallas. I mean, I 44 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: swear I don't have the numbers in front of me. 45 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: I don't even know if everybody charts it, but I 46 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 2: would almost guarantee you if Dallas had fifteen first downs, 47 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 2: they ran on like thirteen of them. And I know 48 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 2: they were trying to set up the play action, and 49 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 2: the play action worked, but when they didn't go play action, 50 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: it was predictable what they were gonna do, and that 51 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,960 Speaker 2: was Dak running for his life. He got sacked five times. 52 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a Detroit defense. That's not great. 53 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: Al Kuadin Muhammad, who who he had three sacks for 54 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 2: the season. Let's see what he had for the season 55 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: coming into the game. He had Wait a minute, he oh, 56 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: he had six acts this season. I was totally unaware 57 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: of that, blissfully unaware of that. I didn't even know 58 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: he was a factor. I mean, that's a hell of 59 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 2: a game for that kid. He was destroying the I'm 60 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: sure the PFF ratings when they're out later this morning 61 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: will show that the offensive line was horrific. Obviously, the 62 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 2: CD Lamb concussion didn't help. He was on fire. Pickens 63 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: did not have his best game. Ryan Flournoy was solid 64 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 2: nine catches on thirteen targets, but overall I think just 65 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: cooks the Cowboys Detroit. I still don't think we take 66 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 2: them too seriously. It was shocking that a'm aat Saint 67 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: Brown played caught six passes for ninety two yards. That 68 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 2: was enormous. If you take him out, I don't know 69 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: what they do offensively, Like where were they throwing to? 70 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: Jmo had an okay game. Gibbs seven catches, seven targets 71 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 2: and was roasting people who tried to guard him. What 72 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: the bottom line is, this is Dallas, you know, unimpressive 73 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: showing when they needed it most, which is typical for 74 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 2: the Cowboys. They will not go to the playoffs, they 75 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: will not go to the NSC championship game. The beat 76 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 2: goes on before we get to best bets. I did 77 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 2: just want to quick well, we'll touch on Lebron in 78 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: a minute. I obviously Lebron had a monumental moment, Luca's 79 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: out with the birth of a child. But let me 80 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: quickly one more thing on the NFL. So this Lions 81 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: situation in the offseason. I predicted no playoffs, and obviously 82 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 2: a lot of Lions fans were like, you're out of 83 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 2: your mind. I even bet a buddy on Detroit versus 84 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 2: Denver because he thought I was crazy with my Detroit 85 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: love and I don't love the Denver at all. But 86 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 2: he was like, you're going overboard on Denver. The schedule, 87 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: the defense, Like, it's clear, but here's my thing. On Detroit. 88 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 2: All this does is really give them a stay of 89 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: execution for the playoffs. This doesn't totally help them because 90 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,679 Speaker 2: they still are behind the Bears, They still behind the Packers, 91 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: who they got swept. The Lions need help actually or 92 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: to get into playoffs. And then you look at the 93 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 2: schedule and you're like, okay, well, Dan Camble certainly has 94 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 2: his work cut out for him. They are at the 95 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: Rams next week. The Rams are bargaed with the best 96 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: team in the NFC. Then they host the Steelers. That 97 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: should be a w Vikings. We'll see. I'm a little 98 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: bullish on the Vikings, as you will find out in 99 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 2: Best Bets. I'm bullish on them this weekend. I don't 100 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: think they're totally dead and not for like to make 101 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: a run or anything. I just think, you know, JJ McCarthy, 102 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: if he can get his left tackle back, probably not 103 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 2: this week. Justin Jefferson the defense that they're gonna be competitive. 104 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 2: They could play the spoiler role down the stretch. I'll 105 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 2: just leave it at that. And then they got to 106 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: wrap up at the Bears, which is outdoors and not 107 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: an ideal situation for GoF. So if we assume a 108 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 2: loss to the Rams, assume a win over the Steelers. 109 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: The Vikings game is four days it's on Christmas after 110 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 2: the Steeler that's a tough, tough to go on the 111 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 2: road four days later against the blitz heavy Vikings. They're 112 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 2: gonna need to win that. If they go three and 113 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 2: one down the stretch, that's eleven wins. Is that is 114 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: eleven wins gonna cut it in the NFC. I mean, 115 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: in the AFC, that would be amazing. But the NFC 116 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: is just so stacked. I mean, you look at the 117 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 2: San Francisco forty nine ers. Guys, the forty nine ers 118 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: are almost one thousand percent gonna make the playoffs. Okay, 119 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: they're gonna get They're gonna get probably twelve wins. Okay, 120 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: the Rams that game against Seattle will be huge. If 121 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 2: the Rams win that, they're probably fine. And then you 122 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: look at the Packers. Are the Packers getting beat again 123 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 2: this season? I don't know. They have two against the Bears, 124 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: they face the Ravens, which will be tough. That that 125 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 2: one's at home at the Vikings final game of the season, 126 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 2: and then there's an interesting Sandwich game against the Broncos. 127 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 2: I believe the Packers will be favored in all five 128 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: of those games, and so yeah, I just it's gonna 129 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 2: be tough for the Lions. I think we pencil in 130 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 2: the Eagles, right, Eagles are good. Let's just say Tampa. 131 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 2: I think they win this weekend. I don't think Carolina 132 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: is gonna win the division. And then you've got ram, Seahawks, 133 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 2: Niners are all safe. So that's three four five, You've 134 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 2: got Green Bay and then either Chicago or Detroit. So 135 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 2: maybe it will come down to that final game of 136 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 2: the regular season, Bears at home outdoors against the Lions, 137 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 2: because the Bear's schedule is brutal, Packers Browns Now, the 138 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: Browns game is at home, but that defense is filthy. 139 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 2: Packers again at Niners and then Lions. So I don't know, Yeah, 140 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 2: the Bear. Maybe the Lions sneaking is the last wildcard 141 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: we'll see. It's gonna be interesting a fun certainly. Month 142 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 2: of December into early January.

It's 148 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 2: funny because you know Thursday night football, you expect it 149 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: to dominate, But here we are. Lakers at Toronto Raptors 150 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: are a plucky team so far this season. You look 151 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 2: at their roster, You're like, who the hell is Sandro 152 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: Makashevi di VIDI. I have no idea who this guy is. 153 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: He's ragining threes. Jacoby Walter. I'm like, is that the 154 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: kid from Baylor playing heavy minutes? They're playing a kid 155 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: named Jamison Battle who was at Ohio State. I was like, 156 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: how are these guys playing major minutes? Jamal shed was 157 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 2: the stud who played at Houston for so many years, 158 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: And I'm like, they got a lot of guys, but 159 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: the problem is they don't have any superstars and their 160 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: default is Brandon Ingram, who had a rough game as 161 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: he usually does against the Lakers. Oh, missed all his threes. 162 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: He got a couple offensive boards, but like he just 163 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 2: didn't shoot it good enough, and especially not enough when 164 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 2: he's facing Austin Reeves. And I know this was a 165 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 2: Lebron game and he what happened at the end will 166 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 2: be huge, but we need to put this Austin Reeves 167 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 2: stuff in perspective. Guys forty four, ten and five. Austin Reeves. 168 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 2: I don't want to say he's unguardable, but when he 169 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: starts to go into his moves, his bag is so deep. 170 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 2: I saw a clip Kevin Garnett was talking about Austin 171 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: Reeves and he said he's got a black guy's game, 172 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 2: and I was laughing. I'm like, okay, sure, And then 173 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 2: you watch Austin Reeves. I'm just telling you look at 174 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: the amount of moves he goes to. He's it's not 175 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: just crossovers, it's up and unders, it's hesi's it's fake 176 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 2: fade away, keep your pivot foot down and then go 177 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 2: for the layup. Like he's consistently getting me to be like, 178 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: oh okay, Austin, I mean the guy is good and 179 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: so you knew he was cooking him. He had forty 180 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: four in forty one minutes with Luca out the birth 181 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 2: of his child. They doubled him on the final play 182 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: and they left Lebron unguarded. Scottie Barnes came off Lebron. 183 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: Scotty Barnes, man, he's he's a long, good defender. He 184 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 2: blocked a Lebron fadeaway. Lebron had a rough game. Let's 185 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 2: be real, okay, four of seventeen shooting, missed all five 186 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 2: of his threes. He's only been it's only his fifth game. 187 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 2: I'm not I know, J Mack. Why you making excuses 188 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 2: for the guy? Come on, listen, man, he's old. Okay, 189 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 2: But Austin Reeves gets doubled on the final play. TI 190 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: game passes to Lebron. Clocks starting to wind down, Lebron drives. 191 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 2: It's just like with the Warriors, where teams would double 192 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 2: Curry and then you get Draymond Green playing the point 193 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 2: forward driving in four on three and Draymond high iq 194 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: makes the play always for the Warriors. So Lebron, now 195 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 2: here's the difference. Lebron sitting on eight point. He has 196 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: a streak of two point seven billion NBA games in 197 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: a row scoring in double figures. Not really, but he 198 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: has the record by over like four hundred and a 199 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,599 Speaker 2: selfish player would have said, I'm taking this to the 200 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 2: hoop and getting mine. I gotta get my ten and 201 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 2: hopefully I score. If not, we go overtime. Who cares. 202 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: Lebron didn't do that. Lebron took a dribble, looked off 203 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 2: Bi brandon Ingram just briefly, and then kicks it to 204 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 2: Ruey in the corner, who releases the three in the air. 205 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 2: Buzzer goes off. Bang, Lakers win. Now. I know that 206 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,120 Speaker 2: there's a certain portion of our audience who's just so 207 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: sick of the Lakers and Lebron and Kuluka. I get that, guys, 208 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: But it was pretty awesome to see Lebron essentially put 209 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 2: his career into one play. At this stage, he could 210 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 2: have easily gone up and just said I got I 211 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 2: got a score. He said, no, I'm gonna do what 212 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 2: I've done, the right decision. By the way, thirty six minutes, 213 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 2: I know he had eight points. He shot horribly from 214 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 2: the field, eleven assists, zero turnovers. Always finds a way 215 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: to make something happen even when the shots aren't falling, 216 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 2: the threes weren't falling. Could not get to the line 217 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 2: in thirty six minutes, and he drove a lot. He 218 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: doesn't have the lift that he once did. Listen, this 219 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 2: is where it is. All throughout the game. I'm watching 220 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 2: this and you know, I'm always trying to think ahead 221 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 2: the next step, and I kept saying to myself, I 222 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 2: wonder if a Lebron decides this is gonna be his 223 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 2: final year, you know what I'm getting old. Let me 224 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 2: just hand the reins to Luca and Austin. I don't 225 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: want some prolonged, nonsensical worldwide tour where they give me 226 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 2: a rocking chair at every stop. I don't need that crap. 227 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: Let me just go off and become a billionaire, you know, 228 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 2: and by the Las Vegas team that's coming into the 229 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 2: league in a couple of years, maybe he does that 230 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 2: right cause it's pretty clear. I know it's only five 231 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: games a long way Togo, but that Lebron is not 232 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 2: a MAX or anything close to a MAX player. After 233 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 2: the season, that's very clear. He could hit the gym 234 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 2: only wants There's no shot of that. Nobody's giving him 235 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: any kind of max money. So then what does he say? 236 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 2: You know what, I want to play with my son 237 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 2: one more year. I'll play for the minimum. I'm not 238 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 2: gonna play heavy minutes, but it'll enable you guys to 239 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 2: go out and find someone else to take that big, 240 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 2: big salary. I'll come off the bench. I'll enjoy the 241 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 2: final season with my son and Luca and Reeves and 242 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 2: someone else can cook, and I'll help coach the guys 243 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 2: on the bench. You know, is there a war he 244 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 2: does that or is he too proud? Well, watching Lebron 245 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 2: make that decision of I don't need to score, screw 246 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: the double digits. I want to win, it made me 247 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 2: wonder if maybe he opts for that, because I'm just 248 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 2: telling you now, I don't see him going to the 249 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 2: Pelicans to collect some big paycheck and end his career there. 250 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 2: I just don't see that. And you can off at 251 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 2: the Pelicans, find Blazers, Kings whatever. I just and I 252 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: don't see like the Nick saying, Okay, we'll give you 253 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 2: twenty million dollars a year because that's what we have 254 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 2: at our mid level. I'm just tossing out numbers. I 255 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: don't see any of that there's no I don't think 256 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 2: there's a world where any of that stuff happens. So 257 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 2: I know I should live in the moment and really 258 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: focus on what the play was. And I did that 259 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: and it was great, and I'm doing that now. I'm 260 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 2: just saying, you watch this and you're like, hmm, interesting 261 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: because going forward, they have a big decision to make 262 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 2: with Lebron. They don't want it to get ugly. Nobody does. 263 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: And I don't think anybody's gonna want to sign Lebron 264 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 2: for a big money, one year deal anywhere. So these 265 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: are the things that I think about as I'm struggling 266 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 2: with the Dallas Cowboys to not cover the spread. And 267 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: of course, like an idiot for the first time all 268 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 2: season in the Vegas contest, I said, you know what, 269 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: let me let me submit early, just so I can 270 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 2: have the weekend to myself. I submitted the Cowboys as 271 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 2: one of my five picks. The others let's see, uh, 272 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: Cowboys plus three missed Vikings minus two and a half 273 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 2: Falcons plus seven rams ONUS eight and a half Texas 274 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 2: plus three. That's what I submitted. So yeah, thanks a 275 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: lot for nothing, Cowboys, but thank you Lebron. For a 276 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 2: beautiful night in the NBA. All right, let's get your 277 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 2: best bets for the weekend.

It's a huge 285 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 2: weekend for football. College football Championship weekend will determine the playoff. 286 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: Talked a lot about the games with Chris Felika yesterday, 287 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 2: so we don't need to dive too deep into them. 288 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 2: I am on Ohio State minus four and a half. 289 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 2: Give a slight lean to the under in the game 290 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 2: against India, and I expect a very cautious approach from 291 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: both teams early. I would look at a first half 292 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 2: under if you're interested. Just a quick reminder, the Buckeyes 293 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: ten to one in one against the spread this season 294 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 2: and people are still looking for reasons to date against them. Obviously, 295 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: Indiana story is great. The schedule has not been very difficult, 296 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 2: but it's not like Ohio State's played much since the 297 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 2: Texas game. I am on Alabama money line plus one 298 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 2: fifteen and I took to two and a half. Like 299 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 2: the Tide here Georgia, their center sounds like he may 300 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 2: miss I just I think Calen Deboor has a coaching 301 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: advantage here. I think Alabama has the quarterback advantage. Georgia 302 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: overall has the better team, but give me the coaching 303 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 2: quarterback and Debor obviously has something on Georgia. And it's 304 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 2: where Kirby smart for whatever reason, just he's got issues 305 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: with this Alabama team. I believe he's one and eight. 306 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 2: Is that it? I'm looking at my notes here. Kirby 307 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 2: has one win against Alabama. Might be one and six 308 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 2: in the I did not bet the JMU game, obviously 309 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,680 Speaker 2: rooting JMU Texas Tech twelve and a half. It's ballooned 310 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 2: out to thirteen. I really want to hammer the Red 311 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 2: Raiders here. But the matchup, you know, the rematch given 312 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 2: the first one BYU, is gonna come with some new wrinkles. Obviously, 313 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: they will throw the kitchen sink here because they've got 314 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 2: a win to get in. Texas Tech is in. I 315 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 2: don't think they coast here. By any stretch, but I 316 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 2: do have some concerns about finding margin for Texas Tech 317 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: could just be a sleepy performance. They don't need to 318 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 2: oppress anybody if things break their way. I mean, Texas 319 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 2: Tech is gonna is probably gonna get a top four seed. 320 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 2: They would obviously need Indiana to lose and drop behind them, 321 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 2: and I mean they currently are right in the mix anyway. 322 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 2: I don't think Oregon's gonna pass them, but I think 323 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 2: Texas Tech wins. And what's the other one. I have 324 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 2: nothing on Duke Virginia at all. I could care less 325 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 2: about that game. All right over to the pros. This 326 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 2: is where it gets a little problematic. So I know 327 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 2: I've been talking about the website. I'm gonna just put 328 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 2: all the picks. It's nearly done, just tightening some screws. 329 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 2: It should be finished this weekend. So I have sent 330 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 2: it to a couple of people I trust and respect, 331 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 2: and they seem to think so far, Hey, this is good. 332 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 2: So I think you guys will like it. Here's what 333 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,120 Speaker 2: I'm on this weekend. Houston plus three and a half 334 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 2: that was earlier in the week. I think it's gone 335 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: a lot of threes, but just a reminder, I get it. 336 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 2: Kansas City is Patrick Mahomes and andybe. They are at home. 337 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 2: They're very good at home. This is a team that was 338 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 2: down twenty to nine to the Colts before a fourth 339 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 2: quarter search. The Colts okay, and the Colts we've seen 340 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 2: in recent weeks are not great. Chiefs look like they're 341 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 2: going to be down three starting offensive linemen. That is 342 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 2: not great. I think the Texas keep it close, they 343 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 2: probably lose. But if the Texans win this and the 344 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 2: Chiefs basically nail in their coffin, I think they're eight 345 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,239 Speaker 2: or nine percent to make the playoffs. If they lose this, 346 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 2: they would need a lot to break their way, like 347 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 2: the Chargers to lose to the Eagles and who's the 348 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 2: Buffalo to lose to the Bengals. They would need some 349 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 2: stuff to happen so they can still remain in the mix. 350 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 2: But ultimately, I don't know. I just it's tough for 351 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 2: me to not think that Texas three and a half 352 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 2: are the side I did bet Packers six and a 353 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 2: half earlier in the week. Bears have a couple injury concerns. 354 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 2: This is one of the games for the website that 355 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 2: I wrote up about liking the Packers here. I'm happy 356 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: to take a favored home team here, which is clearly 357 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: better when the Bears appear to be the biggest public 358 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 2: dog this week, it looks like seventy five percent of bets. 359 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 2: You remember, I forget who came on the site, came 360 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 2: on the podcast a couple weeks back and mentioned the 361 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 2: draft Kings bet splits. I went and checked them out, 362 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: and the public is hand over fist folks all over 363 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 2: and I mean all over the Bears here. They love them, 364 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 2: probably because it's a big number of division rivalry. I'm 365 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 2: just telling you the Packers. I think they're thirtieth in 366 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 2: blitz percentage, yet their tenth or eleventh in pressure rate. 367 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,880 Speaker 2: What does that tell you? They send four and are 368 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 2: getting to the quarterback at one of the in the 369 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 2: upper crust of the league with four. So Caleb, he's 370 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 2: not gonna be like, oh, here comes the blitz from 371 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 2: this side, Oh this is happening. No, he's gonna be 372 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 2: under pressure from four and they're gonna be disguising looks 373 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 2: on the back end. I just wonder if a guy 374 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,360 Speaker 2: who's struggling with completions is gonna have one of those 375 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 2: like oh, I don't want to make a mistake. I 376 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 2: don't want to screw up. He's gonna have one of 377 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 2: those nights and gets a little rattled. I can see 378 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: like a twenty seven thirteen Packers type victory. I am 379 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: on Minnesota minus two. I know it's crazy. JJ McCarthy, 380 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 2: what are you doing? Christian Darisoud doesn't appear as if 381 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 2: he's gonna go, which is not great. But I mean, guys, 382 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,439 Speaker 2: I think we talked about that. I don't know if 383 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 2: I mentioned this on the Pod or the Herd, but 384 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: if you look at the Viking schedule and you're like, oh, man, 385 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 2: look at how bad they've been. They can't win a game. 386 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 2: They're not even competitive, they're not even covering the spread. Okay, well, 387 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: some context is needed. Here are their last seven games 388 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 2: versus the Eagles. They were underdogs. Eagles are one of 389 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 2: the top seeds in the NFC. They lose at the Chargers. 390 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 2: Chargers are a playoff team in the AFC. They get 391 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 2: Vikings get stomped at Detroit. They went there and they 392 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 2: won that game. Yes, they beat Detroit. Detroit is still 393 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 2: a playoff team as of now. They may not make it, 394 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 2: but they're still a playoff team. Baltimore leading the division. 395 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: They lose that game. Then they face Chicago. Chicago's the 396 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 2: number one seed in the NFC. They lose that game. 397 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 2: They play Green Bay, they lose that game. Green Bay 398 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 2: is one of the best teams in the NFC in 399 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: the league. They go to Seattle with their third string quarterback. 400 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: They lose that game. But what do all those teams 401 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 2: have in common? Common Philly Chargers, Lions, Ravens, Bears, Packers, 402 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 2: Seahawks all are playoff teams. They faced seven playoff teams 403 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 2: in a row. Are you kidding me? That is a gauntlet. Meanwhile, 404 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 2: Washington steps up to the plate and Washington is definitely 405 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 2: not a playoff team. Now. I know they showed well 406 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 2: against the Broncos last week, very impressive fight, good stuff. 407 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 2: I'm proud of them, But I don't know, guys, I 408 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 2: just Washington. Look at the results before that. That had 409 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: a lot to do with the inept to Denver offense, 410 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,399 Speaker 2: and Washington's defense is just not very good. I think 411 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 2: McCarthy can get right here. Justin Jefferson has been complaining 412 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 2: this week. I expect a monster game out of him. 413 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: I like the Vikings here I bet the Vikings minus two. 414 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 2: I am on the over Bengals and Bills over fifty 415 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 2: two and a half. I do like Buffalo here. I 416 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 2: just I was hoping I could get a lower number. 417 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 2: I was thinking at four, but it doesn't seem like 418 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 2: you're gonna get that. I'm seeing fives and sixes. I 419 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 2: like Buffalo. I just that defense against Burrow up up 420 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 2: ten late you Burrow, Chuck and Duck. It looks like 421 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 2: Higgins is probably gonna be back. Hase Chase is there. 422 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 2: I could easily see Joe are going up and down 423 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 2: the field getting trash points even though they're down thirty 424 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 2: one to seven, and getting a backdoor cover. So not 425 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 2: a huge fan of that one. I did bet Ravens 426 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 2: minus six. I know rivalry game, Jason, what are you doing? 427 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 2: I just I think it's over for Pittsburgh. I know 428 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: that you want to say Mike Tomlin's in battle. This 429 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: is a perfect spot for Mike Tomlin. He can rally 430 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,959 Speaker 2: the troops. I don't know, Kenny. I just look at 431 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: this team and I don't think there's a lot of 432 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 2: talent here, guys. I mean Aaron Rodgers complaining about his 433 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 2: receivers offensive lines, bad defense, can't stop the run. Now 434 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 2: you gotta face Derek Henry, gimme Ravens. I'm on Texans 435 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 2: Chiefs under forty two. And I also, let's go to 436 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 2: the other location. And I took the seven with the Falcons. 437 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 2: Interesting nugget that I kind of unearthed. I don't know 438 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: what it's is it's something? Is it nothing? So if 439 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:03,479 Speaker 2: you look at where is it here at the last Okay, 440 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 2: West Coast teams coming east week eleven and on, Chargers 441 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 2: go to the Titans win, no cover. Forty nine Ers 442 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 2: go to the Giants win no cover. Chargers go to 443 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 2: the Jags loss badly. Titans host the Seahawks. These are 444 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 2: West Coast teams going east after Week eleven, not earlier 445 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 2: in the season. Okay, Seahawks beat the Tech Titans do 446 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 2: not cover. Raiders are one that went to the Browns 447 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: and got the loss. But the Raiders are the worst 448 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 2: team in the league arguably. Niners went to the Browns, 449 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 2: they won and cover. Okay, Arizona at Tampa push, Rams 450 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 2: went to the Panthers lost. Denver went to Washington win 451 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 2: no cover. Are you sensing a trend late in the 452 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 2: season West Coast teams may be worn down, tired, going east, 453 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: laying big numbers and not delivering. I would keep an 454 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 2: eye out on this Seattle Falcon game. I don't endorse 455 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 2: back Incau. We don't know about Drake London. I just 456 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 2: get the sense this game will be interesting. So I 457 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 2: took the seven in this one and Survivor. We will 458 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 2: be on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Unless something else happens, 459 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 2: It's gonna be Tampa for us. Now. I do have 460 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 2: a little concern. Again, at this stage in the game, 461 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 2: you gotta be concerned. I was talking to David Baker 462 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 2: and his point is like, yeah, Tampa's good. Everyone else 463 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 2: in your pool is going to be on Tampa. I 464 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 2: was like, yeah, but you gotta have options. What options 465 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 2: are there? Ain't no way in hell am I backing 466 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: Chaudeur Sanders. I mean, everybody has the Browns available. You 467 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 2: think Shaudeur's definitely beating the Titans. Isn't there a world 468 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 2: where Shauduur has two or three ghastly turnovers special teams 469 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 2: miss q any you know it's the Browns and Titans. 470 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 2: I just don't think that that's where we want to back, 471 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 2: you know, Survivor when you're this late in the game. 472 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 2: I don't think many people have anyone good left outside 473 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 2: of Tampa. There's no touchdown favorites. You're not taking Seattle 474 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 2: on the road. Everybody's burned Seattle. You could go Ravens 475 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: against the Steelers. It is a divisional matchup. But Lamar 476 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 2: miss in practice yesterday. I didn't love that. But that's 477 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 2: pretty much where we're at with Survivor and and hey, 478 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 2: you know what, it's tough this late in the season. 479 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 2: That's just how it works. There's not a lot of 480 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 2: options next week. I do know this. We got the Eagles. 481 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 2: They're hosting the Raiders, so please Baker deliver because we 482 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 2: know the Eagles are a layup. Raiders are horrendous. That 483 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 2: being said, Raiders are gonna be frisky against the Broncos. 484 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 2: I assure you guys love this stat. Broncos defense was 485 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 2: on the field for eighty five plays on Sunday. Usually 486 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 2: anything over seventy is like, okay worth looking at a 487 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 2: little more over eighty. And they only beat the Raiders 488 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 2: by three last time. I remember that because I had 489 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 2: the Broncos, so I would be very careful laying any 490 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 2: anything on the Broncos favor by seven and a half. 491 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 2: I doubt the readers can pull out to win. All right, 492 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 2: that's it for the week. We are back Monday, Oh boys. 493 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 2: Should be a good weekend of sports. Enjoy it.
