And we know it because the audience is 20 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: growing every single week. Now, let me get back to 21 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: my point about being a grinder. I texted you Simon. 22 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: On Sunday, I texted you. It's one of my favorite 23 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: things to do is to text you on Sundays. I 24 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: felt like on Sunday, this is what I wrote. This 25 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: was a hard fought three and two. We were two 26 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: and three the week before five and on week one, 27 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: three and two. This past week, huge bounce back week, 28 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 1: A hard fought three into a lucky win. I thought, 29 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: on the Bears, thank god for big Dick Nicholes. A 30 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: tough loss on the Washington football team. They had that 31 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: game covered if not for Dwayne Haskins, like just sort 32 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: of losing his crab. Great call on the Panthers, never sweat, 33 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 1: so nice to be in the afternoon not sweating. Really 34 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: bad on the Giants that was lost from the get go, 35 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: and an easy calm the Pats. Right, is this what 36 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: it feels like to be a professional? Better? It was 37 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: a weekend in review. I would say that um in 38 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: a normal year, we would have hit more like a 39 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: couple of these teams were taking these home teams with 40 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: the home crowds. I am noticing now with COVID this 41 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: there's a major effect to a lot of these games 42 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: like that come back. We saw in the Rams and 43 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: the Bills game that like, that's that's happening every week, 44 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: and then the Bears did it against Atlanta. So I'm 45 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: starting to really adjust that these teams with no fans 46 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: and vetteran quarterbacks, they're really really having advantage here with 47 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: it's just like practice, and these are like guys. They 48 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: throw a pick or they do something stupid, they don't care, 49 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: they're not hearing any booze. They just get back out 50 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: there and it's just like another rep, another three downs. 51 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: So I am trying to adjust to that. Where we 52 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: were definitely on the right side of Washington. That was 53 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: just one of those games where you're exactly right. He 54 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: had to have war turnovers to them to lose by seven, 55 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: So it was seventeen. We were texting feeling good and 56 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: we were talking about like, okay, like they were not 57 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: really worried about that when this bears, this Bears bets 58 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 1: dead and uh, I think that was I love the Pats. 59 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: The Pats Pats money line with the Colts money line 60 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: just felt like an easy bet this week for me, 61 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: and that was a no sweat. That was a nice one. 62 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: But I really really believed in the Bears going in, 63 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: and I had people NonStop just coming at me about Atlanta. 64 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: The how how can you see them coming up with 65 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: their offensive step up? And I said, I really can't, 66 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 1: but I can just see their defense getting stops on Atlanta. 67 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: So of course to ten, Atlanta is up and our savior, 68 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: Philadelphia's hero is now in Chicago. He came in Big 69 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: Dick Nick falls love. Oh yeah, I mean the man 70 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: has a statue in Phildelphia. I love the guy. So 71 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: he he comes in and I think we had we 72 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,119 Speaker 1: touchdowns overturned. So we had a fourth a fourth down 73 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: touchdown overturned, and then we had an interception in the 74 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: ends on instead of a touchdown, So right there, that's 75 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: fourteen points were lost. So like the Ads kept getting better, 76 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: I went from plus a thousand up to a thousand 77 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: and thirty one thousand, three hundred, and I took it. 78 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: I didn't throw a thousand on. I put five because 79 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: I did believe in them, but just mathematically, I was 80 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: thinking they're probably gonna lose this game by three, because 81 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: that's what I thought it was gonna be three. And 82 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, he did us a lot of favorites. He 83 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: came out there and he just kept getting stopped by 84 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: the Bears defense at the end of that game, so 85 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: gave Nick the momentum. You put together three touchdowns and 86 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,119 Speaker 1: we covered our bets. So that was a week where 87 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: we stumbled in a couple and like these people they 88 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: think it's should be so much easier, Like how do 89 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: you not take the Packers and the Chiefs. Let me 90 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: think in a little secret, if you if you add 91 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,559 Speaker 1: up all the years and you're just taking the money 92 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: line on a dog on Sunday night and putting it 93 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: with the money night dog, that's not gonna hit for 94 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: you consistently. That was again we fell into a couple 95 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 1: of spots there, but like I wish we took them. 96 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: Of course those were easy picks, but you just we're 97 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: looking at from the numbers perspective, where the odds of 98 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: those teams both covering as three and a half dogs 99 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: is just so minischool because the whole public is gonna 100 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: be on Green, but the whole public was gonna be 101 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: on the Chiefs. So that's the only reason we hesitant 102 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: and we stayed away from those. So you there were 103 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: um moments in that Bears game in Atlanta, moments for 104 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: that Packers game in New Orleans, where you make a 105 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: great point like we are now three weeks into the season, 106 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: we are seeing the opportunities that veteran quarterbacks can have 107 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: when they need to be And the Packers didn't even 108 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: really need to come back in that game. They just 109 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: sort of we're rolling the whole time. But how they 110 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: can manage crowd noise? Right? And at what point when 111 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: you say you're making adjustments on these what kind of 112 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: adjustments are you're actually making. What is the numerical adjustment 113 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: you're starting to make. I think the biggest one is 114 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to put too much weight in the 115 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 1: travel anymore. I was in the sense that these teams 116 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: are still at home. It's still a home field advantage 117 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: in some sense. And you're really seeing now that it's 118 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: just we should just market the strictly neutral fields that 119 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: these teams going on the road. It doesn't really matter 120 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: if they're a good enough team and they have a 121 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: good enough game plan for that week. There is no 122 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: home field, There are no major major swings because of 123 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: the crowds. Where the swings are coming that a team 124 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: might have back to back three and outs and the 125 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: other team will just put fourteen up and they're right 126 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: back into whatever game they're in. So the best example 127 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: I can think of was that Rams Bills game there 128 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: if the Bills had fans and no world of the 129 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: Rams come back and make that a game, and then 130 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: the Bills, I mean I had them, So that was 131 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: just that was by far the luckiest cover of the 132 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: week for me. Josh Allen had multiple completions on third 133 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: Day that are like third and and fifteen, third and 134 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: nineteen and you gotta you got a call there at 135 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: the end of the game that kept that game alive. 136 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: So of course you can say they got lucky with that, 137 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: but it's one of those where this this whole I'm 138 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: trying to tell people that these live numbers, I usually 139 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't recommend taking these live money lines like we have been, 140 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: but the way this this is going, if a good 141 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: quarterback is down, I believe in the team in my game, 142 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: my game, playing the bet before I had the game, 143 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take that my line because right now we're 144 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: up a ton by taking these big money lines if 145 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 1: you're just doing this straight bet. So I think people 146 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: need to really be aware of making that adjustment that 147 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: it's a good year to be playing these live numbers. 148 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: All right, A little bit of a shameless plug here 149 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: Matthew Freedman, Uh, Matt the oracle on Twitter who has 150 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: just been doing phenomenal work on player props, on fantasy rankings, 151 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff on our Action Network live 152 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: show on Sunday Mornings that we do at eleven o'clock 153 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 1: on Sunday mornings.

Yeah, it's just sad. 174 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: I mean, all of us new in the back of 175 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: my mind we are in a pandemic and we were 176 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: kind of on a nice little role there where it 177 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: was kind of out of sight, out of mind in 178 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: at least in football, just because we weren't having any 179 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: positives and we all knew this was probably gonna happen, 180 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: just because it happened in baseball. And just like baseball, 181 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: I think football will adjust and they'll just keep it rolling. 182 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: So I've seen a lot of fan theories where they 183 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: think it's either going to be moved to a Monday 184 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: or Tuesday this week the game. Um My hope is 185 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: they do that, because right now, if what there's people 186 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: are saying is true, they'll give them a bye week. 187 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: That's brutal for someone like me that has a lot 188 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: of money on Pittsburgh futures, because you don't want this 189 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: early bye week. You want late bye week, especially with 190 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: the team like Pittsburgh gets older. So I'm hoping that 191 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: these people are right and that they'll come in on Saturday, 192 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: guys won't be positive, and we'll be back to business 193 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: and they'll be down Tennessee. You'll be down three or 194 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: four players, whatever the number ends up being, and they 195 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: just play. But I already made a bunch of bets 196 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: this week on Pittsburgh, So I'm just guessing the casinos 197 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: will avoid those um if it comes out that they're 198 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: canceling that game. So we'll see what happens. We're just 199 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: like everyone else. We're just waiting on more information. Well, 200 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: if you have Pittsburgh futures, I have Pittsburgh futures because 201 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 1: I basically did everything you told me to do when 202 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: we were podcasting during the summer. Let's get to our 203 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: Thursday night football game. For fans at large, this probably 204 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: feels like your regular crappy, horrible Thursday night football game. 205 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: For bettors, this is like the Super Bowl of legal betting, 206 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: because you've got the Denver Broncos in a state with 207 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: online legal online sports betting Colorado versus the New York 208 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: Jets in a state with legal online sports betting, uh 209 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: in New Jersey. So we gotta break it down because 210 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: there are gonna be people who are listening to this 211 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: in both those states who are like, holy freak, I 212 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: can bet on this, Like I can bet on this 213 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: right now. So uh, Broncos, we're talking about two and 214 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: a half point favorites right now according to Draft Kings 215 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 1: on the road visiting the Jets, they are they might 216 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: as well be called M E. S. S Mess mass Mess. 217 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: Who I did that right there, just thought of it 218 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: as I was podcasting, because this team is ugly, ugly, 219 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: and this is one of those games where I was 220 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: joking on the guy online. This is kind of Now, 221 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: you take your girl out and you don't even gotta 222 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: watch this game because you're not gonna learn anything. You're 223 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 1: not gonna you're not gonna benefit from watching. Um, this 224 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 1: is gonna be a provish shows all the pros. We're 225 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: gonna take the Jets at home on Thursday, and Denver, 226 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: it's tough to really know what their deal is because 227 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: they've been plagued by injuries since the start. I mean, 228 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: as soon as I lost one Miller, I knew all 229 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: my features on them were pretty much dead. And when 230 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: you have to own three teams like in this spot, 231 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,599 Speaker 1: of course, I'm gonna lean towards the Broncos because I 232 00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 1: think they're a more complete team. But I still I 233 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: still love Sam Darnold. I'm still gonna round the Jets, 234 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: even though they're just a train wreck. They have no 235 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: offensive weapons. They're running a forty year old running back 236 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: in Frank Bred that no one knows why. So people 237 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: online are asking for if you don't want to bet 238 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 1: on this, a fun bet you can make because you 239 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: can just bet on Adam Gates to be first coach fired. 240 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: But I still think that dan Quinn is my favorite 241 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: first coach fight. I couldn't believe waking up Monday morning, 242 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,719 Speaker 1: I checked see if my beat cash and him being fired. No, No, 243 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 1: that dan Quinn's back in the office. Dude, shocker, Like 244 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: we I was texting with some other people on Sunday 245 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: afternoon and I'm like, how is dan Quinn not fired 246 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: by Monday morning? Like that? Like that's astonishing to me. 247 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 1: How much could I have to screw up at home 248 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: depot to get fired. That's what I thought of, because 249 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: the guy Arthur Blank was the Falcon start at home deepot. 250 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, you might be able to be terrible at 251 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: home depot and not get fired because dan Quinn still 252 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: having a job after these collapses, epic collapses. That's on 253 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: the coach, dude. It's just on the coach. You are 254 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: not getting your team ready to play in the second half. 255 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: You are not reminding the things they need to do 256 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: in the second half. You are not making the adjustments 257 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: you need to make to ensure you can maintain a 258 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: lead in the second half. It is astonishing to me, truly. 259 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:43,079 Speaker 1: And it's funny where I guess he's thinking, Okay, if 260 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: he can go up to Green Bay this week and 261 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: he can get the win, I'll keep him. Let him 262 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: keep the job. But it just doesn't make sense why 263 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: you just want to get rid of this guy. That's 264 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: the worst. That is seriously the worst back to back 265 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: games I can remember for a franchise. I actually can't decide, 266 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: like who's more negligent here, Like Adam Gaze for just 267 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: being bad at his job, and like he might not 268 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: have the horses, but even without the horses, like the 269 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: Dolphins last year didn't have horses and they played their 270 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: hearts out for Brian Flores Adam Gaze, it's like he's 271 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: not even like connected to the team. And I don't 272 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 1: know why you just said the most outrageous thing. You 273 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: still like Sam Donald poor fellow. I can't decide if 274 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: you're the poor fellow or Sam Donald the poor fellow. 275 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: But what gives you confidence in Sam Donald? Because he 276 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: has nothing wrong? He has seriously the worst though line 277 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: and unskilled position players I think in the league. His 278 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: If you go through the list of his wide receivers, 279 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: you're not gonna know his signame. If you do know 280 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: a name, that's gonna be a really old player or 281 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: an old Lacrosse bur Na Chris Hogan. And they have 282 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: Frank Gores's running back. So he set up to fail. 283 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: He's been set up to fail. And he has little plays, 284 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: these flash plays you can see his talent and what 285 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: he can be under pressure. But I'm with you, this 286 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: is the end of it for him. It seems like 287 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 1: it seems like they're gonna tank this season, little drafting 288 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 1: these qbs up high, and then he'll be on a 289 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 1: new team in a year too, so it might be 290 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: over framing from the Jets in the future, but I 291 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: think he's gonna do well on a different team in 292 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: a different scheme with a better coach. Al Right, next game, 293 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: Brown's Cowboys, by the way, we are going to transition. 294 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna transition to the early game Sunday, one o'clock 295 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: Brown's visiting the Cowboys. The Cowboys plus five against the 296 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: Seahawks the other day, and honest to god, they had 297 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: the ball, they had a first down with about four 298 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: thirty seven left in the game and uh somewhere in 299 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: the twenty thirty year oldline close to the red zone. 300 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: Uh down, And how Mike McCarthy cost three passing plays 301 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: to run off thirty seconds and then kick a field 302 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: goal and give Russell Wilson four minutes to score a touchdown. 303 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: That's fire able to me. Maybe that's kind of good 304 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: I'm in today, but that that was I mean, the 305 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: worst part for you is that you have back to 306 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: back weeks now involving the Seahawks that the two point 307 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: conversion has decided your bet. So that's brutal beat um. 308 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: From my perspective, I think the Cowboys are still being 309 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: a little overvalued here that people are seeing their offense 310 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: or seeing their weapons, are seeing how good they're doing, 311 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: how every game that is putting up these crazy numbers. 312 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 1: But I feel like everyone they just losers. They have 313 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: loser mentality. They lose these games, and they got gifted 314 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: one by Atlanta. We saw how bad Atlanta is now, 315 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: and I think Cleveland. I hate Baker. I think he's 316 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: incredibly overrated and he makes terrible decisions for a third 317 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: year player. I don't know how he hasn't improved, which 318 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: is hard. It's hard to say because I used to 319 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: love his personality and what he was gonna bring the 320 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: NFL because he's cocky and he's funny, and the stuff 321 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: he does is like when he's winning is comical. When 322 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: he's losing, he looks like a clown. And the public, 323 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: I'm looking at umbers right here, the public are all 324 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: over the Cowboys. And I had this number at three, 325 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: so four and a half. I love the value of 326 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: the Browns, especially with their two headed monster in the backfield. 327 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: If they're come up with a game plane of just 328 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 1: running it and Baker in my throat fifteen to twenty 329 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: times to Dell and Landry. I love them to keep 330 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: this game close or even win for Cleveland. This is 331 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: this isn't everything game for the Cowboys, and the fact 332 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: that the Browns have back to back wins. That's my 333 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: biggest reason for your pause in here and saying, do 334 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: I really want to back the Browns after two wins 335 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: when they're coming agets a desperate team, So we don't 336 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: have to put that one in. By I'm gonna be 337 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: on the brown side. I'm so glad you said we 338 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: don't have to put that one in because when we 339 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: started talking about this, and I'm thinking, if he's gonna 340 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: tell me I got about the Browns as part of 341 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,880 Speaker 1: my win chance to win a million dollars, I will 342 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: puke right now. No I want to. I want to 343 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: do that to you, But you are going to get 344 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: that on them. I'm gonna say that number out. I'm 345 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: sure it's gonna go up as the week goes along here. 346 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: But there's just a really good value on the Browns 347 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: here that they'll be able to keep it close, especially 348 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: running against Dallas who they're giving up yards and chunk, 349 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: especially in their secondary on easy passes. So I like 350 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: to match up here for the Browns. All right, we 351 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: gotta skip the next one because it's Titan Steelers. So 352 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: let's go to Saints Lions. Saints uh four point favorites 353 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: at home against the Lions. Dude, we gotta like both 354 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: of these teams. Make me sick. I bet against the 355 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: Lions this week. I bet on the Saints this week. 356 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 1: They look like they're a mess. The Lions look like 357 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: they're still a mess. I If anything, I think you're 358 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: probably getting value on the Saints. But if you've got 359 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: an opinion on this, that is going to sway me. 360 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: Sway me. Yeah, And I can't fault anyone for betting 361 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: the Saints in this game, just because the Lions needed 362 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: two picks from Murray at the fifty and one run 363 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: away back to about the thirty just to be in 364 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: that game and get that win. So they obviously had 365 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: a lot of things break right for them in that 366 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: last game. And you're you're right, the Saints might be 367 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: very undervalued here. Um, but it's hard for me to 368 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,160 Speaker 1: take Drew Brees right now. Where back to back weeks, 369 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,480 Speaker 1: this guy cannot go down field. He's doing all this 370 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: underneath stuff which he might be working I mean, Kamar 371 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: is a freaky's turning these little dump offs into touchdown. 372 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: So I'm with you that, uh, we can leave this 373 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: one out, but I'll be on the line side come 374 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: game time. Seriously, all right, well maybe God we might 375 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: have to revisit. Yeah. I don't feel good about It's 376 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: the same like feeling I had last week with the Giants, 377 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: like I hate doing it, but it's like these are 378 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: the physicians I have to take because I have to 379 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: trust the numbers saying that this team is being overvalued 380 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: and that's where you're getting the values on the lines. 381 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: Where do you power rate this game right now? So 382 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: I had it a three and a half and I 383 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: think it opened at three three and a half, but 384 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 1: it's up the four and a half now. So this 385 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: is this is one of those where if I do better, 386 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bet very small lines because I hate Matt Patrician, 387 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: I hate back and the guy end up switching to 388 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: them before kickoff just because all all the money. I 389 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: think Darren was my two days I was on DraftKings 390 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: was on the Cardinals. So that was just one of 391 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: those where all right, the guys in Vegas that they're 392 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: reading this one that they're saying all the values on 393 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: the five and a half, I'm just gonna I'm just 394 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: gonna buy on the five and a half. So I 395 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: got lucky with that one. But it's it's it's another 396 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 1: one of those weeks where the lines they need this 397 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: win here just to stay afloat in their division because 398 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: right now they have two teams are three and now, 399 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 1: so we'll see come game time which side will end 400 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: up on. Well, speaking to three and now, we're gonna 401 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: skip the Vikings in the Texans, and I apologize to people, 402 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 1: but like the Vikings facility is shut down right now. 403 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: We have no idea what's going to happen with that game. 404 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: So markets are sort of in flux there. It's like 405 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: I can't even prescribe anything for this game either, you 406 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: just because we just don't know what's going to happen 407 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: with the Vikings in Texas. So the culture was in 408 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: the Bears. The Bears are three and o. Nick Foles, 409 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback whoever lived, is getting his first start 410 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: against Philip Rivers, a quarterback that makes you more sick 411 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: to bed on than maybe Daniel Jones. This game is 412 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: it's open to pick right now, the Colts are two 413 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. Dude, how are we not 414 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: going with the Bears in this game? This is a 415 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 1: no brainer. I do love the Bears, you know I 416 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: love Nick Foles. Uh. The biggest pause with this one 417 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: is that, um, I'm not I it's not that that 418 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 1: the Bears three weeks straight, but I pretty much have 419 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: is that, like every week, I've been cool with us 420 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: taking the Bears in here because I've liked the value 421 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: all three weeks. And once again I like this value 422 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: where I have the Bears of minus one, so we're 423 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: getting a full three and a half when it's at 424 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: two and a half right now. The value you to me, 425 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: and I think people keep forgetting that. Rivers He's going 426 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: to turn it over. This This man takes risk. He's 427 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: last week. I saw the whole that whole game because 428 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: I had a decent amount of the Colts money line, 429 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: and they literally didn't run. They might have ran six 430 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: plays against the Jets. That's how much they don't respect 431 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: the Jets. They knew that they could just run their 432 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: base offense not show anything, and they're gonna get an 433 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: easy one in that game. So I'm with you. I'm 434 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: good with backing the barriers here, and I'd be cool 435 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: with putting them in. Um, we'll just have to wait 436 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: and see, because I want to get more info on 437 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: the Bears, because I know that Cohen went down for 438 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: you guys, that tire colling, the guys lost the running back, 439 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: So I just want to wait and see what their 440 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: other injury report went were for the Bears. I don't 441 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: know why you say you guys. I don't know what 442 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: would make you say you guys, as I had point 443 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: to the Bears banner hanging over my left shoulder right now. 444 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: But I'm with you, like this team is going to 445 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: be criminally undervalued, and I honestly think the market, like 446 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,239 Speaker 1: the bookmakers are overvaluing not just Philip Rivers, but the 447 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: Colts defense, which obviously is playing amazing. And they had 448 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: twenty six fantasy points this past weekend. Like at one 449 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: point on the red Zone, Scott Hanson reported that that 450 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: they had the ninth most fantasy points of anybody on Sunday. 451 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: But it's a lot of yardage, Like it's a lot 452 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: of fancy stats and like superficial stats, and so give 453 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: me the Bears plus two, and I have at home. 454 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm with you, Chargers plus seven and a half. 455 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: We're still in the one p N games. Chargers plus 456 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: seven and a half visiting the Buccaneers. This game has 457 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: popped by three points since it opened. It opened it 458 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 1: four and a half Bucks that's coming in the bus. 459 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: I like the Chargers here, um going in just because 460 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: it's a high number. And we talked last week when 461 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: we're talking about Caroline, is that the Chargers aren't gonna 462 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: get blow out. They're gonna the third team that's gonna 463 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 1: be able to keep these games close. But when will 464 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: these injuries catch up to them? Because they just lost 465 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: Chris Harris. Uh so now they're down their best corner. Um. Luckily, 466 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: the Bucks lost, uh I mean not luckily, but they 467 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 1: lost Godwin, so that kind of canceled each other out. 468 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: I'm still gonna take the Chargers here. I just have 469 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: less confidence, But I do like the number of seven 470 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: and a half against a Buccaneers team that just blew 471 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: out a team. So I'm gonna back to the road 472 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: doll here that just lost at home in the Chargers. 473 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: Do we like it enough to the contest it? I wouldn't. 474 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: I kind of want to, but it's like, am I 475 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: getting too smart? Or this feels like Washington all over again. 476 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: It's like, am I, am I getting too smart for 477 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: our contest? I can promise you there's no chance of 478 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 1: you and I together. We're getting too smart. I don't know. 479 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: My brother just got your book and New York Times 480 00:24:53,680 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 1: bestseller and uh, which which best sellers? I wrote that 481 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: one to Chad Milman wrote a book, and uh, I said, yeah, 482 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: Chad just has the little stack Nels garage and he 483 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: just personally mails him out to people. He's a good guy. 484 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 1: Oh my god, I'm gonna get a royalty check for that. 485 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 1: That's pretty nice. I will. I really appreciate that. Uh. 486 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: And if tell your brother, if if you win a 487 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 1: million dollars, you will happily give him the two dollars 488 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 1: and fifty cents that uh I get in royalties for that. 489 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 1: I'll do them one better. I'll try to get it 490 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: signed from you. It's least you can do it, right. 491 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's so nice that someone's asking me 492 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: to sign books instead of Scooch. Whoever that guy is. 493 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: He keeps coming after us on Twitter that says, bring 494 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: back Scooch Scooch isn't signing books anymore. Now I'm signing books. Yeah, 495 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: come on, guy, all right, so let's walk away from 496 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 1: the Chargers. Let's not get too smart. Ravens on the road. 497 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: Tough showing last night, um minus twelve and a half 498 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 1: against the Washington football team. So what's really a road game? 499 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,719 Speaker 1: It's there driving half an hour. Probably I'll staying I'll 500 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: staying at home on Saturday night. Too much for me. Yeah, 501 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: And just like everything we do in this podcast, everything 502 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: we loved slowly dies. So we ended up killing Lamar's 503 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 1: MVP and killed up we killed Kyler Murray's MVP. So 504 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 1: that was nice, nice by us. Um, I'm gonna take 505 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: the Ravens here. Like the the comments from Haskins, the 506 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: comments from Rivera, it just seems like they're a team 507 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: that's like this guy, this guy in it. We're already 508 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: sick of this and now you got the Ravens coming in. 509 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 1: Really piste off embarrassed. I mean, Lamar's comments last night 510 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: were frightening when he said that the Chiefs did the 511 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: exact same thing that the Titans did on defense to 512 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: them to stop them. And in my mind, you guys 513 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: were getting ten yards to clip, your offensive coordinator for 514 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: some reason started passing the entire game when you're getting 515 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: ten yards a clip on the ground. So I love 516 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: the bounceback spire for their Ravens. But like you just said, 517 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: it's a big number. So we can put that on 518 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: the side, We're not gonna We're not gonna put that 519 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:15,959 Speaker 1: in a contest. There's no way. However, however, Cardinals Panthers. 520 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 1: It's like we gotta make a Sofie's choice here because 521 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: it's our favorite team, the Cardinals, against our favorite team, 522 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: the Panthers. We have backed both of them every single week. 523 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: So how do we choose between our two loves. Yeah, well, 524 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: I actually faded. I faded the Panthers week one just 525 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: because their defense is so young. Uh. But yeah, I've 526 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: been on the last two weeks and this is another. 527 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: Not that it feels like a trap spot because people 528 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,360 Speaker 1: might be down the Cardinals because they just looked really 529 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: bad at home. Um, but I like the Cardinals shore 530 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: I like them to bounce back against a really bad defense. 531 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: And I know Teddy can sling it. He can keep 532 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 1: teams in games. You've struggled last week in the red 533 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: zone and he struggled the week before in the red 534 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: zone and the week before, so it's three straight weeks 535 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: now that I've seen him struggling in the red zone 536 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 1: where Kyler when he gets down there, he usually puts 537 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: it away. So I'm gonna be back on the Cardinals 538 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: this week, Eve though, I know that's gonna be a 539 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: public play. You know what. I'm with you, and I 540 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: think we're getting value here. I think this is a 541 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 1: public perception play in that I actually think the line 542 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: hasn't moved at all, and maybe you're not. Maybe you're 543 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 1: telling me something and about saying it. I don't know 544 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 1: where you have this power rated, but the Panthers are 545 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: as high as they're gonna get it right now, and 546 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: the Cardinals as low as they've been oh season, So 547 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: I gotta be getting value. I don't even know how 548 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: you power rated at this. Tell me what you did. 549 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: So I had this at Cardinals five and a half 550 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: and it opened, I believe at four, and it's so 551 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: the Sharps game, and they hit this Panthers line because 552 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 1: it's down to three and a half despite sev of 553 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: the it's being on the Cardinals. So I get their 554 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: angle that they think the Panthers could keep this close 555 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: against a team on the Cardinals that look sloppy last week. 556 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: But I think they're just undervalue and still Kyler Murray 557 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: and what he can do. So we're gonna be on 558 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. That's what let's put him in, all right. 559 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: Right now, we've got two teams we love, and by 560 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: the way, it's the team two teams we love every week. Yeah, 561 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: the Bears and the Cardinals. We are like so predictable 562 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: awful Bears and Cardinals. Because the other team we love 563 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: right now that we that we talked about was the Browns. 564 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,719 Speaker 1: I don't know if we'll get there. Jags next one 565 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: o'clock game, Jack's plus three visiting Cincinnati. This is a 566 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: total like yack fast and what I mean, I don't 567 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: mean talk, I mean like disgusting cute fest. And it 568 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: was shots last week where the news came out of 569 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: uh DJ Trark wasn't gonna play for Jacksonville. And I 570 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: didn't really think that was gonna affect the Jags as 571 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: much as it did. But it seems like Minshew must 572 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: use him as a safe out where they had guys open, 573 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 1: but Minshew was painticking instead. Of just staying on the course, 574 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 1: looking down fielding hitting these guys and everything I've seen 575 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: from Borrow, I've been impressed that Eagles game as an 576 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: Eagles fan was I mean, it's top five worstamp experience 577 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: since we've won the Super Bowl. Um, he's tough. I mean, 578 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: he's taking big hits and he's getting up and I 579 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: think he maybe sat one playout because he got knocked 580 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: the heck out. But he's he's really proven to me, 581 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: and he's three weeks he's covered. So I'm not gonna 582 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: take the Bengals here because it's their due for regression. 583 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: I mean, them going four o e t s it 584 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't be shocking. But the line keeps going from three 585 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: to three and a half. If it goes to three 586 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: and a half, I'll back the Jags here. I okay, 587 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: but we don't have to back the Jabs, right. No, 588 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to put that. I don't want to 589 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: be sweating us because you know what I do want 590 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: to sweat. I want to sweat the Dolphin too. Plus 591 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: six and a half right now, right now, the Seahawks 592 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: visiting the Dolphins. The Seahawks are getting eight percent of 593 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: the tickets so what we are getting right now is 594 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: a classic road favorite getting eight percent of the money. Like, 595 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: these are bets that pay you bet them over the 596 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: long haul. They pay. Please don't talk me off of this. 597 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 1: Please don't talk me off of the Dolphins at plus 598 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: six and a half. I love Brian Flores. I want 599 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: to bet this team so badly. I do too, And 600 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: I love the fact that the Seahawks, like we were 601 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: just talking about, there're three no three o E t 602 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: s and these kind of teams against the spread, they're 603 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: gonna drop some Vegas isn't here just to give out 604 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: free money. There's no teams I go sixteen and most 605 00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 1: teams hit a point where they're gonna go ten and 606 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: six nine seven. That's the norm pre t s because 607 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: there's always these fluke teams. I think last year the 608 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: best covering team we're probably the Ravens in Miami. I 609 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: think Miami was like ten and six, and the Ravens 610 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: whatever they were, they're thirteen and three I think against 611 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 1: the spread. So there's always these teams that can be 612 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: flukey with it, and like I'm always like on the 613 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 1: lookout for those tendant kind of teams where the Seahawks 614 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: keep covering these numbers they shouldn't be covering. They've had 615 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: a lot of fortune early on here. And if it's 616 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: true that Adams is out for this game, that's a huge, 617 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: huge hit to an already very bad secondary. And we've 618 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: had three straight weeks where the Seahawks defense has been 619 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: lit up. And what we've seen from fits Magic is 620 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: he's in a good mode right now. I mean that 621 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 1: there's a night game I think he had like three 622 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: in completions. The guy was literally in a mode. So 623 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: I'd be good with back in the Dolphins here. I 624 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: want to wait on the injury report because, like I said, 625 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: last week, they were down their best corner in the 626 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: Miami that that's a big deal against us. But this 627 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 1: is just screams back door, and I really do like 628 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 1: the Dolphins. I wish you would go back to seven. 629 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: Might be cool with the six and a half. I 630 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: agree with you on everything you just said. This team 631 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: is gonna play hard. Fitzpatrick is in a mind meld 632 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 1: with his receivers right now, and that back door will 633 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: be open. And the Seahawks are just are just winning 634 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,479 Speaker 1: in a way and covering in a way that feels 635 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: like impossible to maintain. The only person who can maintain 636 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: that is Ryan Fitzpatrick covering the back door every week himself, 637 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: and I think Ryan Fitzpatrick he's the man for me. 638 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it is scary because we're going against Mr Unlimited, 639 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: But I don't know, man, I can't. I can't keep 640 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 1: back in the Seahawks here, like they have to slip up, 641 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: and this is just a perfect spot for them to 642 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,640 Speaker 1: slip up, an early game down in hot Florida. So 643 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: I like this a lot for the Dolphins. All Right, 644 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna get to the late games. Reminder, everybody go 645 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,520 Speaker 1: rate review the podcast please using the phrase Simon says 646 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: we bounced back. If we like it and randomly choose it, 647 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: you will win a Free Action Network hoodie. We are 648 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: going to announce last week's winner. I already know who 649 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 1: it is last week's winner at the end of this show. 650 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,400 Speaker 1: All right, let's move into the four o'clock games, the 651 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,759 Speaker 1: late games. We gotta doozy. We got the New York 652 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: Football Giants thirteen point dogs visiting the Los Angeles RAMS 653 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: members moved up, my friend up a lot money and 654 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: bets all coming in on the Rams. It feels like 655 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: a pass. Yeah. And it's one of those where last 656 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,319 Speaker 1: week that Giants game, it was I think thirteen to 657 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: ten or sixteen thirteen or something like that, and then 658 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they just got out of hand 659 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 1: where St. Frangis ran it all over them. And when 660 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 1: you're when the Giants were playing a team that has 661 00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: four percent of their salary or almost half their starters 662 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: out for a game, and that's the performance they put up, 663 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: you immediately have to look at the head coach because 664 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,439 Speaker 1: he's not putting his players in the best position to win. 665 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: And I think the Rams here and a bounced back spot, 666 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 1: they're gonna be the public darling. And this is another 667 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 1: huge number game where I can't believe I'm back on 668 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:31,359 Speaker 1: these big favorites, but they can do really well at 669 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: running the ball, and that's what the Rams are known for, 670 00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 1: is running the ball. So I'm with you this this 671 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 1: this one I wouldn't put in because it's too big 672 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,360 Speaker 1: of a number and it's really easier for the Giants 673 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,160 Speaker 1: gonna late squarter back door this. But I like the Rams, 674 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: and I like I like them their style against the 675 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:53,240 Speaker 1: Giant stuff. I mean, you're right now, you're making bets 676 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: on a combined five and a half point favorites between 677 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens and the Rams, just saying I know it's crazy, 678 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 1: but it's like the same thing I did last week 679 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,399 Speaker 1: when I took the cultes. It's like, I know, all 680 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: the numbers say I should be on the Jets, that 681 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,799 Speaker 1: this is a trap and that they're going to cover 682 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: this name because they're owing to a t s. I 683 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 1: own two against the spread, But it's COVID, it's practice. 684 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: There's no fans, there's no pressure. So these better teams 685 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: they're literally screaming against worst teams. It's just easy when 686 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,879 Speaker 1: they're such better teams and these no fans, they don't 687 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: have the normal kind of pressure that they are used to. 688 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 1: It's kind of one of those where it's going good, 689 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: it's just snowballs, and these good teams when they're beating 690 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: these bad teams, these pad teams can't keep them close. 691 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 1: And I think we're gonna keep seeing as this season 692 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: goes alonger. Maybe late in the year I'll catch up 693 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,799 Speaker 1: and Vegas will catch up to these numbers, But for 694 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 1: right now, I'm gonna back these favorites. I really like 695 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: how you're you're addressing and identifying. You're identifying and addressing 696 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,080 Speaker 1: the home field component here. I they think that's fascinating. Uh, 697 00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: and that's gonna be along a conversation point. I think 698 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 1: when we in the next week, you have four weeks 699 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: of data, and I think it'd be really valuable for 700 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 1: people to truly see, like, okay, instances where you've made 701 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 1: the adjustment and it's worked and and you've been spot 702 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: on about it. It's just fascinating to me. That way 703 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 1: you're phrasing these is sort of practice games. I love it. 704 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: No comment needed, no comment needed from you, Sigment. I'm 705 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,800 Speaker 1: just complimenting you. You're not gonna get that. You're not 706 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 1: gonna get that from your Twitter fans. You're only going 707 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: to get that from me. All they give me is love. 708 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 1: They're nice people, are just a one or two jackasses, 709 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,480 Speaker 1: just the one. I love how you retweet all of 710 00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:38,360 Speaker 1: them bills Bills Visiting the Raiders, the Ascendant, the Miracle, 711 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:44,800 Speaker 1: the bills from Buffalo Matt Mitchell, our podcast producers, favorite 712 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:49,440 Speaker 1: team of any team in any sport, of those happening. 713 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:54,280 Speaker 1: Now we're on the bills happen. Now we're making it happy. 714 00:37:54,360 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: Now spirits a lot of spirit. Yes, spirits happen. The 715 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,720 Speaker 1: Bills are three point favorites at the Raiders in Las Vegas. 716 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: We'll wait and see what the injury reported with the 717 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,280 Speaker 1: Raiders because they had a lot of guys get banged 718 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: up in that New England game and Wall are barely 719 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 1: even played for them, which was a big deal at 720 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: tight end. And this is another one of those games 721 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: where we're gonna buy a low in Vegas because the 722 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,120 Speaker 1: Bill has just had an incredible come back. Now, well, 723 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: now you can tell me I love the Raiders here. 724 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,919 Speaker 1: I think that with everything going on the Bills, they're 725 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: flying really high. This isn't This is a nice little 726 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: let down spot for them. So this is one of 727 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: those They're gonna come in feeling really good. And I 728 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 1: could just see the Raiders keeping it close and eventually 729 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: plan out. I went very and so I'm back in 730 00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,480 Speaker 1: the Raiders here. Oh my god. I hate betting on 731 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Like you know what's interesting. I hate betting 732 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: on the Raiders. I have no sense of their identity 733 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: at all. It also feels like I am making amateur 734 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,879 Speaker 1: mistakes by making a boaket statement. I refused to bet 735 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 1: on the Raiders and then you'll talk me into the 736 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,400 Speaker 1: Raiders because for the same logic, why I want to 737 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,200 Speaker 1: bet the Dolphins, Like the Seahawks are coming in on 738 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: a high, they're coming in overvalued, and I'm getting a 739 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: team that is like not very good at home, is 740 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: a little bit of an underdog. So I was letting 741 00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,520 Speaker 1: my Raiders bias get in the way of sound professional 742 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: betting decision making. So of course we're going to put 743 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: the Raiders on our list because also, why wouldn't we 744 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: want to add the Raiders when we also have teams 745 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 1: like the Dolphins and the Bears on this list, Because 746 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: there's nothing better than being incredibly uncomfortable with five bad 747 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: teams that you're betting to win a million dollars. And 748 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 1: I know we've got three dogs right now, So by 749 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: the end of the week, we'll definitely are gonna have 750 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: one or two favorites mixed in. It's just what we're 751 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,920 Speaker 1: doing right now. On Tuesday, we're just waiting for more 752 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: information because these favorites, I do like betting them, but 753 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,040 Speaker 1: I'm very picky and choosing with these favorites, Like we've 754 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: gone over it week one my favorite bet was the Steelers, 755 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,279 Speaker 1: they were minus six favorite, they covered. Uh. Week two, 756 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 1: I love the Cardinals, they were a big favorite, they covered. 757 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 1: And then week three, I probably I don't know how 758 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: much we spent on it, but I think I said 759 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: that it was just an easy, easy bet taking the 760 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,399 Speaker 1: Patriots there in that spot, that was an easy cover. 761 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 1: So we're three and our right now my favorite favorite. 762 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: So hopefully I can mix another one because I have 763 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,520 Speaker 1: a couple that I do like, and we're about to 764 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 1: talk one here about the Chiefs. Where the value is 765 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: going to be on New England in this game with 766 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, because I think most people know that what 767 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,279 Speaker 1: New England does well as with the Chiefs too bad, 768 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: which is running the ball. So you're looking at a 769 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:32,800 Speaker 1: game where people are thinking, if thything that can control 770 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,080 Speaker 1: this clock, if you're getting a good number at seven, 771 00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,720 Speaker 1: why wouldn't you take Bill Belichick as the seven point dog? 772 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,360 Speaker 1: And it's just making me a little nervous when I 773 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,080 Speaker 1: saw last week with cam is that if he's not 774 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 1: on target with these weapons, that offense can really struggle. 775 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 1: They needed a bunch of turnovers from the Raiders kind 776 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: of get them back into that game. So if we're 777 00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 1: looking for a favorite. That's really chalky. I do like 778 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 1: the Chiefs this week against the Patriots, but I hate 779 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,760 Speaker 1: I hate against Bill Belichick. Hey, going against Bill Belichick. 780 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: But there is the Cam Newton factor. I agree with 781 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,879 Speaker 1: you even on Sunday, Like I was a little even 782 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: though I knew like that was the right call, I'm 783 00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: nervous betting the guy. I have no confidence when he 784 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,719 Speaker 1: goes back to throw none. Yeah, there's sometimes where he 785 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,319 Speaker 1: drops back there and like he does that style where 786 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: he just quirks his head back and just throws it 787 00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,840 Speaker 1: as hard as he can to a guy and sither're 788 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: gonna go like twenty over the guy. It's gonna hit 789 00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 1: and right in the hand. So I'm with you. We 790 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: don't have to put this one in. We can leave 791 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,000 Speaker 1: it on the side. About out back the Chiefs this week? 792 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 1: What kind of world are we living in where we 793 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 1: might want to back the Browns instead of Build Belichick. 794 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 1: That is in a nutshell, my friend. Yeah, what is 795 00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: happening is the kind of year where it makes more 796 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: sense to back the Cleveland Browns than Bill Belichick in 797 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. All right, let's put a pin 798 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: in that one because the next two games, like unless 799 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,280 Speaker 1: you can convince me Eagles visiting the Niners, Eagles seven 800 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 1: point dogs? Are you gonna tell me right now? Like 801 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 1: now is the time to buy Carson Wentz. It's impossible 802 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 1: to say. It's just like I mean, as a fan, 803 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: I am truly embarrassed, Like the fact the fact that 804 00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 1: Carson went to six interceptions through three games. It's everything 805 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 1: is just falling apart. Doug Peterson is coaching like a coward. 806 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: He was trying to go he was trying to play 807 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: for a safe field. But at the end of the 808 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,120 Speaker 1: game and if I have to settle for a punt, 809 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 1: so great opportunity by alone the Eagles, they're own well 810 00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,959 Speaker 1: oh two on one half game out of first place 811 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: the NFC East, thank you, and same Fran. They're so 812 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: well coached, and they've played two really bad teams back 813 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 1: to back, so it's hard to gauge what they really 814 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:56,680 Speaker 1: are without all these players, because they just beat up 815 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,839 Speaker 1: the Jets and be up the Giants, which people arguing 816 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:02,560 Speaker 1: are the two worst teams on FOP. So I'd be 817 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: good taking the Egos in a prime time game here 818 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 1: catching seven and a must win game for them against 819 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 1: a team that's still trying to recover from all these injuries. 820 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,319 Speaker 1: And I know all these San frans fans are gonna 821 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 1: come at me again saying I hate their team. I 822 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: love San France, I love their team. I just think 823 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 1: these injuries, they can't just keep winning when all these 824 00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:28,959 Speaker 1: players are missing. You've done it again, Simon Hunter. You've 825 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 1: You've nearly convinced me that a team that played for 826 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 1: the tie because the coach was too afraid to have 827 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:41,360 Speaker 1: his quarterback make a play, uh, is the team that 828 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: you might want to back against. The team that represented 829 00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,800 Speaker 1: the NFC in the Super Bowl last year is the worst. 830 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,279 Speaker 1: It's the worst. But it's just like as an Eagles fan, 831 00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 1: I usually have a pretty good pulse on this team, 832 00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 1: and over the last few years, these are kind of the 833 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,960 Speaker 1: the kind of games the Eagles go somewhere and they 834 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,400 Speaker 1: went like last year they were terrible. They went up 835 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: to Buffalo and they dominated Buffalo a couple of weeks there. 836 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 1: They went up to Green Bay and they dominated Green Bay, 837 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 1: who at the time was one of the best teams 838 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: in football. So I'm gonna trust the number and say 839 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,640 Speaker 1: that this should be four or four and a half 840 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 1: and we're getting a good value here six and a 841 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,000 Speaker 1: half seven, So I like I do like the Eagles 842 00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 1: in the spot prime time. All right, can we agree 843 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,800 Speaker 1: we hate the Packers and the Falcons. We can agree 844 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: on it because I'm still too low on the like, 845 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,680 Speaker 1: I gotta update what I'm doing green Bay because I 846 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 1: keep every week I'm even though I loved it coming 847 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,880 Speaker 1: in the year. I was on them forever nine wins, 848 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 1: and I think people are really underestimating the scheme they ran. 849 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:43,239 Speaker 1: Last year was new and they did really well with it. 850 00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 1: They went thirteen and three, and this year things are 851 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 1: just clicking with Rodgers. He's just seeing the game so well. 852 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 1: But this is do or die for the Falcons, and 853 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: it's another one of those where I hate going against 854 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 1: these really desperate teams. First teams that are feeling good 855 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: about themselves. They're having big wins, like Green Bay winning 856 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: that game at prime time in New Orleans like they 857 00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 1: had to been the best flight home. They're feeling good 858 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:09,120 Speaker 1: this whole week. The Falcons are horrible. That's the only 859 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:10,760 Speaker 1: reason we're not going to put them in this because 860 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,279 Speaker 1: I'm with the Quinn's gotta get fired. I don't want 861 00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 1: to be back in this team. So we're not putting 862 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,399 Speaker 1: the Falcons in. So I gotta say, like that, that's 863 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 1: exactly it. Like the Falcons are the exact team we 864 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:24,640 Speaker 1: should be betting right now. But they are just not 865 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,440 Speaker 1: a team you can never back. There's there. They've just 866 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: proven to be unbackable. So we gotta we gotta walk 867 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,760 Speaker 1: away from that. And so what we got to decide 868 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:37,279 Speaker 1: on right now, right now. The teams we've listed are 869 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 1: the Browns, who are a four and a half uh 870 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:49,719 Speaker 1: point underdog at Dallas. The Bears plus two and a 871 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 1: half at home. That's a no brainer. We're doing that. 872 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,400 Speaker 1: Bears plus two and a half at home against the Colts. 873 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,840 Speaker 1: Cards minus three and a half on the road against Detroit. 874 00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:02,920 Speaker 1: Love that. Dolphins last six and a half. Dolphins plus 875 00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,040 Speaker 1: six and a half. Freaking love that that with Seattle 876 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 1: coming across the country. Yes, please, as long as they 877 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,839 Speaker 1: have for their full complemented players. You got to check 878 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,600 Speaker 1: on the injury report again. We will update all this. 879 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 1: Check it out of the Action Network Gap, the Free 880 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,200 Speaker 1: Action Network Gap, that's where you can follow Simon's picks. 881 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:22,960 Speaker 1: That's where you can see what we do. We are 882 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,720 Speaker 1: laying the groundwork establishing our menu Sunday morning, we choose, 883 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,239 Speaker 1: we put it in the app, we'll tweet it out. 884 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:38,040 Speaker 1: Raiders plus three, Yeah, Eagles plus seven. That is like 885 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 1: a complement of six right now, of which we will 886 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: choose five. I like all them. I like all of them, 887 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 1: and we can just do it real quick. So for 888 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:51,400 Speaker 1: our Survivor contest, yes, we had a good week. People 889 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,640 Speaker 1: for some reason, they didn't take the Colts and then 890 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,200 Speaker 1: end up taking the Cardinals, and a couple of people 891 00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 1: took the Saints, and some crazy reason, some people took 892 00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 1: their Ravens. So we're down to forty thousand out. So 893 00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,760 Speaker 1: I put it on Twitter this morning how I couldn't 894 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 1: see how we can't take the Ravens this week, and 895 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 1: then I look in the app. We actually already took 896 00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:18,879 Speaker 1: the Ravens week one. So the easy pick this week 897 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,120 Speaker 1: is definitely the Rams. Where the Giants are going there. 898 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 1: The Rams need this when they're gonna bounce back. That 899 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,719 Speaker 1: should be a no sweat for us, even even if 900 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 1: the Giants some up cover that number. I can't see 901 00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 1: this being under a touchdown for the Ram. So I 902 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,520 Speaker 1: love the Rams. Heuring our survival pool, all right, in 903 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: our Draft King Survivor pool, there are left out of 904 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,360 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand that started. We are going to be 905 00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,200 Speaker 1: on the rams this week. We continue to thrive and 906 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:49,120 Speaker 1: survive the six picks again, we're gonna be choosing from 907 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 1: Browns plus four and a half, Bears plus two and 908 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,479 Speaker 1: a half, Cards minus three and a half, Dolphins plus 909 00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 1: six and a half, Raiders plus three, Eagles plus seven. 910 00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,879 Speaker 1: I'm throwing up in my mouth as I read these back, 911 00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 1: thinking about how miserable Sunday is going to be. Uh 912 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,759 Speaker 1: As I tracked these and I'm texting you looking for 913 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,839 Speaker 1: desperate relief, Simon, That's what I'm thinking about. Can wait? 914 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 1: It's what's the best part of my Sunday is getting 915 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 1: ripped on by you and a couple other people on 916 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:17,560 Speaker 1: They're just like, are we gonna do this? And I'm 917 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,800 Speaker 1: just like, I hope, man. I wish I knew the future, 918 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,640 Speaker 1: but no, I like this week. I've a couple of 919 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,640 Speaker 1: people have asked why we haven't used bye weeks yet 920 00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,400 Speaker 1: in a normal thing. If we were doing a podcast 921 00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,000 Speaker 1: like we talked about, we would have used these. We 922 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:31,480 Speaker 1: would have used one of these bye weeks by now, 923 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 1: just because it's early in the year. We're building data. 924 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,560 Speaker 1: We're both guys who use numbers. We're not just stomach better. 925 00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: It's like betting with our guts. So I wouldn't be 926 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: against using it this week, but I kind of do 927 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 1: want to start saving them now, especially with all this 928 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,600 Speaker 1: stuff going with COVID. It's like maybe in the next 929 00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:50,640 Speaker 1: couple of weeks if things actually do kind of get 930 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: game like games getting set here and there, we're not 931 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,920 Speaker 1: getting as much value because there's less schemes on the 932 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 1: board we can pick and choose. But for right now, 933 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,239 Speaker 1: we're not gonna use the bye week this week. That 934 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:04,800 Speaker 1: is the game strategy that we need you for.
