1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Welcome in, everybody to betting pros. It's time to place 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: your best. It's me Joey P. Joe P's a P 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: and this is BP NFL, and it's week three and 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: Tuesdays we like to take a look into the lines 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: and kind of dig a little deeper from the stats 6 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 1: point of view, and of course, nobody better to do 7 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 1: that within the data scientists himself, Sam Hoppin, Who's gonna 8 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: give us some numbers that can influence our bets in 9 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: Week three? We're also gonna give you survivor pool picks. 10 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: I am eliminated. I can't believe the Ravens lost at 11 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: home last week. Sam, embarrassing, horrible, So you could take 12 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: my pick with a grain of salt. Just keep listening 13 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 1: to Sam. He's still alive. But we're coming off a 14 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: Monday n football game last night, Sam, I want to 15 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: talk to you real quick, because the analytics have changed 16 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: a lot in football, and last night I'm watching the 17 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: game and I'm on massive amounts of cold medicine because 18 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: I am sick, and I don't think that was influencing 19 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: my thought process at the time, but I'm watching them. 20 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: A Kimera was fourth and goal where they were just 21 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: fourth and close down by the goal line, and early 22 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: in that game, the Eagles decided not take that three. 23 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 1: They could have kicked the field goal gotten some points, 24 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: and said that you're to go for it early on, 25 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: And all I kept thinking about is you know that's 26 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: gonna haaunt you later in this game. I feel like, 27 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: if you don't get it, get points, especially against teams 28 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: that have a pretty good defense, and the Falcons have 29 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: proven that defense is gonna be pretty good. They were 30 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: pretty good against the Pittsburgh Steelers. They were pretty good 31 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: last night. Even though AJ Brown wasn't there on the 32 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 1: field for the Philadelphia Eagles, they still had Smith, they 33 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: still had Barkley and Hursts, still a lot of weapons 34 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: to deal with. How often do these models take into 35 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: a fact, you know, into account what's going on in 36 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: these decisions and what the other team does well or 37 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: doesn't do well, because you're seeing a lot more of 38 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: this in the NFL, where teams are going forward on 39 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: these fourth down situations in different spots. I just thought 40 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: that was a really weird one. And it's not kind 41 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: of like I'm not an Eagles fan. I'm just not like, 42 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm going backwards here looking at this 43 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: and hindsight is twenty twenty. I said it while it happened, 44 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: and sure enough, at the end of the day, it 45 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,919 Speaker 1: won me money because they lost and the Falcons covered. 46 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: But what do you make of that decision? And what 47 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: do you make of some of these new analytics and 48 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: how they're working into some of these decisions that coaches make. 49 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: I do think it is helping a lot of teams. 50 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 2: And most of these models do not take team strengths 51 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: into account or you know, if they take into account 52 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 2: what the teams have done in the game so much 53 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 2: as like what the score is. So if a team 54 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: has scored twenty six points, like that's accounted for in 55 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 2: set model in addition to like the score differential at 56 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 2: that point. But it's you know, analytics is this black 57 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: box term. I mean, you hear Joe buck on the 58 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 2: on the broadcast last night saying analytics would say go 59 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 2: for it, well. 60 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: The light green and the dark green and all that stuff, like, 61 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: oh jez. 62 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: What it really is again is it's a model that 63 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 2: takes into account win probability, what the win probably probability 64 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,119 Speaker 2: would be if a team converted that fourth down versus 65 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: punting it away or taking a field goal and making 66 00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 2: said field goal. 67 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 3: And you know, it's it's as. 68 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: Simple as like in the final fourth down decision for 69 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 2: the Eagles last night, it was fourth and three, the 70 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: clock was stopped, the Falcons didn't have any timeouts. If 71 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: they get that first down, the game is over because 72 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 2: they can kneel it out. The Falcons can't stop the 73 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: clock they're up by three. Instead, they choose to kick 74 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 2: the field goal, go up by six, and the Falcons 75 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: march right down the field and going up six versus 76 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: being you know, being up three. There's been some studies 77 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: about the fact that that's not that great because it 78 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: incentivizes the other team to go and score a touchdown 79 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 2: and to win the game. If you're up by three, 80 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: the other team probably is going to be a little 81 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: less aggressive and just try to kick the field goal 82 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: to tie it. So there there is some you know, 83 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: mental aspects to it, if you will, you know, the 84 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: players need to buy into it, for sure. We've seen 85 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: them with the Lions that Dan Campbell is I'm very 86 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: aggressive with his play calling on fourth down. But the 87 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: players buy into it, and they know the risks and 88 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: the rewards of those types of play calls. And you 89 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: know you mentioned before this that we started recording momentum 90 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: and what does that have to do with it now. 91 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: Momentum is a very hot button topic in the analytics 92 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 2: community because there are many who agree that it exists, 93 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: but that it's very difficult to actually measure what that is. 94 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: Right, of course it is, but I think anybody who 95 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: played a sport in their whole life knows. And I 96 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: mean I still coach you flag football every weekend. I 97 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: can tell you you come up with a pick six 98 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: in a game, that momentum happens, it switches. You see 99 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: the other team lose a little steam. It just happened 100 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: twice in our game this weekend. We had two pick six's. 101 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: You could see the other team just deflated and that 102 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: was it for them. Look, it's a great conversation. I 103 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: think it's important to point out too, because certain coaches 104 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: that have certain style, you have to pay attention to 105 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: these things as you're looking at some of these lines 106 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: because they are going to come up. Moral of the story, 107 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: Take the points. Take the point, especially if you think 108 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: it's going to be a close game here with the 109 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: team on the other side's gonna have a good defense. 110 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to week three and turn the page. 111 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: Before we do, just a reminder we're giving away at 112 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb signed helmet.

All right, let's start here with some of 126 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: the stat lines that need to matter and some of 127 00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: the potential movement that we might see this week. Let's 128 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: start with the Dolphins and Seahawks. 129 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 2: So obviously it seems like Tua is not going to 130 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: play in this game. Scott Thompson is going to start 131 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 2: for the Dolphins, despite the Dolphins adding I believe Snoop 132 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 2: Punkley to their roster. That sounds like more of a 133 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 2: depth thing from what Mike McDaniel was saying. But when 134 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: we see backup quarterback situations, we tend to see those 135 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 2: teams who are starting to backup take a little bit 136 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 2: of money and move the line, I guess in their favor. 137 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: And there have been some studies in the past that 138 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: show that the value of a backup quarterback being played 139 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 2: is actually a bit undervalued in the sense that the 140 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: line moves too far against that backup quarterback or the 141 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 2: market downgrades that team a little bit too much, especially 142 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: in the first week. So I think, you know, I 143 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 2: think the game opened up around six. It's sitting at 144 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: five in favor of the Seahawks. You can see five 145 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: and a half in some places as well. But wonder 146 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: if we see a little bit more of a bounce 147 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: back here, especially with how good the Dolphins scheme is 148 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: and the way that Mike McDaniel can scheme players open. 149 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 2: I mean, they still have Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and 150 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: Devon h Chan to create explosive plays as long as 151 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 2: you're getting the ball in their hands. So that's something 152 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 2: I'm certainly monitoring. You know, that's in the range where 153 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: it could be a potential teaser Leg four for the 154 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 2: Seahawks if it does get back up to two six 155 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 2: and a half. But I think it'll most likely go 156 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: towards the Dolphins in this game. 157 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because we were talking about this 158 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: game yesterday Andrew and I on the look Ahead Show, 159 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: and we both said the same thing, which was, you know, 160 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: so far the Seahawks have played the Patriots and have 161 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: played the Denver Broncos. Neither of those two teams necessarily 162 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: have an onset of incredible weapon to work with right 163 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: in that offense. So this is gonna be a real test. 164 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: Everyone's been talking about the Seattle Seahawks defense. This is 165 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: much more of a test here where you get Tyreek 166 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: Hill and Watta on a chance. So I'm with you. 167 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: I'm on the Miami side of this game. Let's go 168 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: to the next one here, Packers at Titans. A Packers 169 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: game away running the football. I know seven hundred and 170 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: fifty two times they ran the football and look, it 171 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: was smart. Stick to the game plan. Don't let Malik 172 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: Willis grew things up. This is the Malik Willis revenge game. 173 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: And of course will Levis continues to literally hand the 174 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: ball and hand games over to the other team. I 175 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: don't know if he can ever break that. But what 176 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: are you looking at in this game when you're talking 177 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: about the odds, you're talking about potential movement in this one, 178 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: Because so far, Malik Willis has more wins this year 179 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: than will Levis. 180 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: So there's a mix of two and a half and 181 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 2: threes out there. Those two and a halfs are just 182 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: quite a bit towards the three. So pretty much the 183 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 2: Titans favorite by three at this point. But last week 184 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 2: Jordan Love did not practice at all, but he was 185 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: questionably made questionable on the Friday game report, then he 186 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: was downgraded to doubtful, and then obviously did not play 187 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: on Sunday. Now I'm guessing this was a little bit 188 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 2: of gamesmanship on the part of the Packers, and I 189 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 2: don't think that Jordan Love plays, but I do think 190 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: it it is more likely than not than that Love 191 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: is back sooner rather than later, and the fact that 192 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 2: he was questionable again whether that was gamesmanship or not. 193 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: I think it's a pack I don't think it was 194 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: a shot he was playing in that game. 195 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 2: Zam, Well, there might have been a shot he was 196 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 2: playing in that game if he gets the right shot. 197 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 2: But I do think that there is and this is 198 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 2: maybe something to monitor just with the Packers in general 199 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 2: over the next couple of weeks. But it seems like 200 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: there's little bit more optimism out of their camp in 201 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 2: terms of this injury not truly being as bad as 202 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: what the NFL world initially thought it would be. So again, 203 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 2: Jordan Love is a huge, huge, huge upgrade over Malike 204 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 2: willis even a hobbled Jordan Love. So something to certainly 205 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 2: minitor over the next couple of days. 206 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 1: All right, next game we're going to talk about here 207 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: the Panthers at Raiders, So change a quarterback here, so 208 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: let's talk about how that's going to impact the line. 209 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: As Bryce Young got two games and that was enough 210 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: for new head coach Dave Canalas we'll see if Bryce 211 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 1: Young can sit and learn a little bit and maybe 212 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: get to the crack at things. But Andy Dalton's going 213 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: to take over the reins as predicted on the Fantasy 214 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: Pros podcast Monday Morning by Pat fitz Moore. A shout 215 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: out to FITZI on that one. So how does that 216 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: impact the line in your opinion for Panthers Raiders? 217 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: So this game open with the Raiders as seven point favorites, 218 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: it's now Raiders down to five and a half point favorites. 219 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: So clearly the market says that Andy Dalton is worth 220 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 2: about a point and a half compared to Bryce Young 221 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 2: on the spread. I think a lot of people expected 222 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: that when if I guess if and when this quarterback 223 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: change was was going to happen. So again, there are 224 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 2: there are fives out there, five and a half's out 225 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 2: there from what I can see on the board right now. Again, 226 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: I don't know where this line is going to go 227 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 2: because there could be a lot more people who buy 228 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 2: into Andy Dalton and what he can provide for that offense, 229 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 2: which is a base level floor that Bryce Young was 230 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 2: just absolutely destroying with his play. And the Raiders haven't 231 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 2: you know, they beat the Ravens last week, but they 232 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 2: haven't been you know, gamebusters in terms of how they've performed. 233 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 2: Their rushing offense is among the league worst, you know, 234 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 2: kind of with the Panthers, like there's a chance these 235 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 2: teams don't combine for more than seventy rushing yards together. 236 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 2: But all that to say, with any quarterback change, I 237 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 2: think later in the week there could be some fluctuation 238 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 2: in terms of where this line goes. 239 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: All right, let's take a quick break here before we 240 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: get to a look at the futures market, and remind 241 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: everybody about downloading the Betting Pros app right now for 242 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: iOS or Android and sync your sportsbooks for free, because 243 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: automatically you could track all your bets across major sportsbooks 244 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: all in one spot.

All right, let's take a look at the 252 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: futures market here. I don't think any of us really 253 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: thought that the only undefeated team in the AFC North 254 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: would be the Pittsburgh Steelers after the first two weeks 255 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: of the season. But here's where we are. The raven 256 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: are owing to their plus one ninety the Bengals are 257 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: owing to their plus one ninety five. The Steelers are 258 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: plus three forty now, and the Cleveland Browns who are 259 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: one to one or plus four fifty now. The Bengals 260 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: kind of have their back up against the wall this week. 261 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: I think they will come up with a victory. More 262 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: on them later, but this is certainly an odd start 263 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: to the year for this division. Sam, what do you 264 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: make out of this? Look into the future for the 265 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:22,839 Speaker 1: AFC North. 266 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike Tomlin working at voodoo once again, just gonna 267 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 2: sail right to that as nine and eight level season, 268 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: potentially sneak this Steelers team into the playoffs. But I 269 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 2: think it's really between the Bengals and Ravens at this point. 270 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 2: But my pick right now to win this division is 271 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: still the Cincinnati Bengals if you look at the Ravens 272 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 2: and sort of how they've played. Again, I mentioned this 273 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: a couple of times in the preseason, but the brain 274 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 2: drain that they had on defense, specifically with so many 275 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: coaches leaving for other opportunities. They had a bunch of 276 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 2: turnover personnel wise on the defense and both on the 277 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 2: offensive line and on the offensive line specifically, you can 278 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: see how that's impacting the Ravens offense. You look at 279 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 2: the next three games for the Ravens, they play at 280 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 2: the Cowboys this week, they host the Bills the following week, 281 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 2: and then they go to Cincinnati in Week five. So 282 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: there's a chance that they start zero to five or 283 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 2: one in four potentially. So if you want to buy 284 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 2: into the Ravens, I think the time to do so 285 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 2: is a couple of weeks from now. But again, the Bengals, 286 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 2: they look tough against the Chiefs. They could have come 287 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:42,239 Speaker 2: away with that win if not for the past interference 288 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 2: on that final drive and allowing the Chiefs to score 289 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 2: that field goal. Burrow looked healthier than he did in 290 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: Week one against the Patriots. It sounds like they're going 291 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 2: to get t Higgins back soon as soon as this 292 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 2: week even And I think the Week one loss was 293 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 2: a little bit fluky to the New England Patriots. So 294 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 2: again you'll see a bunch of splits and stats about 295 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: oh and two teams making the playoffs and all that 296 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 2: sort of stuff. But Michael Lopez, who works out the NFL, 297 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 2: did some research and really there's no difference in or 298 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 2: not much of a difference in a team going oh 299 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 2: and two in weeks one and two and a team 300 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 2: going oh and two in weeks thirteen and fourteen as 301 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 2: it relates to their playoff chances. You know, when you 302 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 2: looked at each you know sequential, right, And I'm. 303 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: Both and both the Bengals and Ravens took a loss 304 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: to the Chiefs, who are still the reigning defending Super 305 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: Bowl champion, So you can understand taking that with a 306 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: great assault. And I mean, if the doctor could possibly 307 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 1: prescribe a better matchup for Joe Burrowing Company and Jamar Chase, 308 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: it's the Washington Secondary, So I'd be looking for the 309 00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: breakout here. I think it's time for the Cincinnati Bengals 310 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: to get on track, and I think this is the 311 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: week that they do. Let's move forward here to some 312 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: of the key stats and numbers here that you're going 313 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 1: to be paying attention to in week three, and let's 314 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: start with Jayden Daniels and some trends that you've seen here. 315 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 2: Sam So right now among thirty two qualified passers, so 316 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 2: far this year, Jayden Daniels has the fastest time to 317 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: throw at two point three to three seconds per throw. 318 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: He has the second lowest average depth of target at 319 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 2: four point seven yards, and behind him is Patrick Mahomes, 320 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: which is a story for another day. That's that's kind 321 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 2: of wow. But Zach Ertz and Terry McLaurin right now 322 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 2: lead the Commanders with about a nine point three to 323 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 2: nine point two yard eight out respectively, but neither of 324 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 2: them have been particularly great after they catch a lot 325 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 2: of Jayden Daniels quick passes have also gone to the 326 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: running backs Brian Robinson and Austin Ecklers, so that's. 327 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 3: Something to consider. 328 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: But we saw this preseason that the Cliff Kingsbury offense 329 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 2: is going to be again quick passes, short passes, get 330 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 2: the ball out of his hands. Yeah, you know, try 331 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 2: to protect Jadan Daniels from the weakness in the offensive line. 332 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 2: And I think this is just an overarching point for 333 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 2: Commanders pass catches if you're looking at their player props 334 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 2: is to target the under on their yards and the 335 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 2: overs on their receptions. The shorter passes are going to 336 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 2: lead to more completable passes because they're closer to the quarterback. 337 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 2: But again with the lack of explosive explosiveness after the catch, 338 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 2: I just don't think they're going to be able to 339 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: get to their yards as much as they would in 340 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 2: a different offense. So I think there's some options to 341 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 2: to play some inverse correlations here too, you know, take 342 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 2: over three and a half receptions for over five receptions 343 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 2: and under the you know, sort of forty five and 344 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 2: a half yard line, because again they're going to be 345 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 2: short area targets. They're going to get a lot of catches, 346 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,400 Speaker 2: but just aren't going to produce from them. 347 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: I think that's change over time as Daniels gets more comfortable, 348 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: I hope anyway, because otherwise all my Terry McLaurin shares 349 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: are going to be flushed down the toilet pretty soon. 350 00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: That's something we need to He's a young quarterback. He 351 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 1: started two games. I think he goes on, he'll have 352 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: more confidence throwing the ball downfield. But so far, the 353 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: early stats certainly prove what you're talking about. Let's talk 354 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: again going backwards and talking about Skyler Thompson is going 355 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 1: to take over for the Miami Dolphins under center for 356 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: at least this week. We'll see if Huntley becomes the 357 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: guy long term, but certainly a lot of heavy usage. 358 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: Last time we saw the Dolphins of the run game, 359 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: which is not unlike him, but for h HM, that's something 360 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: got to be careful of because the durability is something 361 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: we're concerned with. So he does have a little extra 362 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: time having played on Thursday to recuperate. Let's talk about 363 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 1: the Dolphins Thompson this running attack and how we can 364 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: approach it in Week three from a betting standpoint, So. 365 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,479 Speaker 2: This is actually more about the passing attack for the 366 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 2: Dolphins running backs. 367 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 3: This is the staff from Jake Trivy. 368 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 2: Von is tied for the lead in targets among running 369 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: backs with fourteen. Skylar Thompson's career running back target rate 370 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 2: is twenty seven percent excuse me, which is higher than 371 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 2: any Week one NFL starter and much higher than tuas 372 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 2: nineteen percent target rate. To running Backsmike McDaniel earlier this 373 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 2: week also said that he can make a case for 374 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 2: Han getting even more touches. I think he got twenty 375 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,360 Speaker 2: nine touches in the Thursday night game against the Bills. 376 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 2: Said it's not hard to give guys opportunities that really 377 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 2: are thirsting for the ball, they're going to do something 378 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: with it. He's and all he's done is give us 379 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 2: more reasons to give him the ball. 380 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 3: So we'll see if books have adjusted for this. 381 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 2: Obviously, raheem moster likely to be back, I think next week, 382 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 2: but he was not a threat in the passing game 383 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 2: at all. I think Miami we talked about earlier, is 384 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 2: likely to be in a negative game script once again 385 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 2: against the Seattle team. They're five and a half six 386 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 2: point underdogs, and so I think they're going to be 387 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 2: forced to throw the ball again, get the ball quick 388 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 2: out of Scott of Thompson's hand into Devon eight chance 389 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 2: hands and let him run after the catch. So the 390 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 2: overs on his reception specifically is something I'm looking at, 391 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 2: depending on where the line is set. 392 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 1: All right, so one more to get to here. And 393 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: I saw a reel on this too, So this is 394 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: a very hot topic in the analytic community where passing 395 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: overall is down in the league this year, and it's 396 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: been kind of a trend going that direction. You're seeing 397 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: a lot more mobile quarterbacks, so offenses have sort of 398 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: evolved a little bit. You're also seeing a lot of 399 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: youth at the quarterback position. Right, more rookies have been 400 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: starting the last couple of years than ever before in 401 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: the NFL. So how has that taken into effect here overall? 402 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: When you're approaching some of these lines and you're looking 403 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 1: at quarterback totals, you're looking at points and all of that. 404 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: Because it is a strong trend. It is where the 405 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 1: NFL has again continued to evolve to has become a 406 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 1: passing league. But in the last couple of years, the 407 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: efficiency of that passing hasn't been quite as good because, 408 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 1: let's be honest, the quarterback play has been spotty and 409 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: different in terms of style of what you're getting from 410 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 1: these guys under center. So let's talk about that kind 411 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: of in the meta war sense and also in the 412 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: micro sense. 413 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean in the medicense you mentioned a little bit. 414 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 2: Pass rates across the league are down across the board. 415 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,399 Speaker 2: I put out a chart each week that compares the 416 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 2: team's expected drop back rate to their actual drop back rates, 417 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 2: So that actually includes quarterback scrambles. So basically, was an 418 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 2: offense intending to throw the ball. There are only seven 419 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 2: teams currently that are throwing the ball more than would 420 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 2: be expected. That doesn't include the Chiefs either, which is 421 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 2: you would normally expect them to be in on that 422 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 2: side of things, efficiency, yardage, scoring, all of this is 423 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 2: down across the board. Now, again it's a two week 424 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 2: sample size that is a key part of this, and 425 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 2: I think we'll eventually see the league shift back towards 426 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 2: the average. We're not going to see things completely flip 427 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: on the other side and go towards only seven teams 428 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 2: being or throwing less than expected. But I do think 429 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 2: it's something you want to pay close attention to when 430 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 2: you're making player pop bets specifically, because again, those are 431 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 2: I think what's going to impact things the most as 432 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 2: it relates to yardage and things like that. But it's 433 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 2: one of those things where I want to be ahead 434 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 2: of that curve as much as I can, so trying 435 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 2: to figure out again what are the who are the 436 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 2: specific teams that again are trending towards getting to be 437 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 2: more pass happy and things like that, and understanding where 438 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 2: the direction of the things are going. So again, if 439 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 2: we realize four weeks from now that passing rates have 440 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 2: gotten back to league average, well there's nothing we can 441 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: do with that. But if you can be early on 442 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 2: some of those teams and on the league white trends, 443 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 2: then I think that's very important to take a look at. All. 444 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: Right, let's look into the future for week three for 445 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: Survivor pool picks. Feel free to ignore me because obviously 446 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: I know nothing. Because the Ravens lost at home. The 447 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: Ravens lost their home opener to the Raiders. I'm probably 448 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: not going to get over this all year, but good 449 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: on the Raiders. They did a good job. They figured 450 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: out a way to win that football game. And also, 451 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: I think between the first week of the Bengals eliminating 452 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: people and then the Ravens limiting people, I think it's 453 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: safe to say that you're in pole position right now. 454 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: I actually love the Bengals this week. I think this 455 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: is the week they get right. I think, as I 456 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: mentioned before, having the Washington Commanders come into town is 457 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: exactly what they need and hopefully some of this cough 458 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: medicine and stuff that I've been taking. I'm on Nike Will, 459 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: I'm on day Quill. I went three for three on 460 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: the Monday night football bets last night, So if you 461 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: saw that video, you might demand every week that I 462 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: am hyped up on Dayquill to make every pick because 463 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: that was a good run. So hopefully the trend continues. 464 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: But listen to Sam, everybody, he's got a better handle 465 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 1: on this, I think than I do. Where are you 466 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: going for your pick of the week for survivor pools 467 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: because it looks like you're targeting Thursday night football. 468 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, you said I got a better handle on this. 469 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 3: You forget that. I touted the Bengals and you gave 470 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 3: me a mulligan there. 471 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: I did, so maybe we bond. You had a mull again. 472 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: We're back in it. But look, Thursday night football in 473 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: an in division game that is typically a dangerous pool 474 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: to be swimming in. 475 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 2: It is, but it's also a rookie head coach in 476 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 2: Drod Mayo on the Patriots playing in his I guess 477 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 2: coaching in his first Thursday night football game, which is 478 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 2: typically bad news for those coaches. Since two thousand and 479 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 2: this is from Cleve Ta on Twitter. Since two thousand, 480 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 2: rookie head coaches are twenty two and thirty three against 481 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: the spread, which is forty percent and a thirty percent 482 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 2: win percentage against a pregame win percent expectation of thirty 483 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 2: nine percent when that game occurs in the first half 484 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 2: of the season which we are in. Then these new 485 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 2: coaches are still getting their feet wet, and their record 486 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 2: is five and eighteen against the spread, a seventeen percent 487 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 2: win percentage compared to a forty two percent expected win percentage. 488 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 2: So this is really banking on the experience of the Jets. Again, 489 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 2: I think the Jets are still sort of figuring things 490 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,399 Speaker 2: out on offense. Their defense is not nearly on the 491 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 2: level of what we expected of them going into the season. 492 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 2: But the Patriots are not going to like run away 493 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 2: with a victory here. This might be a little bit 494 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 2: more of a sweat than what you might hope for 495 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 2: on a Thursday night, but at least you get it 496 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 2: out of the way if it loses. But that said again, 497 00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 2: is probably the healthiest that the Jets are going to 498 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 2: be right now. Like they have all their key guys. 499 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 2: Mike Williams seems like he's trending in the right. 500 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 3: Direction as well. 501 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 2: They figured out getting Brayley Allen involved in the passing 502 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 2: game as well, So again you got to think about 503 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 2: two future weeks and all this sort of stuff. I 504 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 2: love the Bengals pick because, especially if a bunch of 505 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: people in your league picked the Bengals in Week one. 506 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 2: They're obviously not in the league anymore, but but you've 507 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 2: got a chance here here too as well. I just 508 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 2: think there's a wider range of outcomes for the Commanders 509 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 2: and what they've shown versus the New England Patriots. 510 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 1: And I'm just I'm looking at the Bengals at home 511 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: back against the Wats and must win game, like this 512 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: is your season. And I don't think Joe Burrow's not 513 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: going to show up. And he showed up in Kansas 514 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: City ready to play, as Joe Burrow always does, and 515 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: I think things. 516 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 3: Will be all right there. 517 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: But chaos from the Jets and the Patriots I'm here for. 518 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: I'll looking forward to that. Make sure you tune in 519 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: later in the week two because Scott, Bob and are 520 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: going to break down that game all the props from it. 521 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: We were gonna have a lot to say about that too, 522 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,919 Speaker 1: And as Sam mentioned, the Jets starting to use multiple 523 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: running backs, Mike Williams potentially starting to move a little 524 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: bit more into that passing attack too as he gets healthier, 525 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: So a lot of shifts going on there, Sam, This 526 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: was a tremendous deep dive into the numbers and I 527 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: think we've got a pretty good handle on things for 528 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: week three thanks to you, and of course, check out 529 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,120 Speaker 1: more of Sam's work over at Bettingpros dot com.
