25
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, you can't shovel heat. So I'm Okay with

26
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 3: July one hundred and fifteen. If I'm avoiding two feet

27
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: of snow in December or in your case early December.

28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we had to uh schools close today, late

29
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,039

30
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: It's just joyful.

31
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 1: So let's talk about something that's going to make us happy,

32
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: and that is each game on the week fourteen NFL Slate. Now,

33
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: Matt and I are going to be using the consensus

34

35
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: odds from a variety of sportsbook The lines are going

36
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: to move throughout the week. That's part of what we're

37
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: going to talk about. As bets come in, odds makers

38
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,959

39
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: like us, you particularly like or.

40
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: Do not like a line.

41
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: All right, Matt, let's dive in here with the Thursday game,

42
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: Cowboys visiting the Chicago Bears. Cowboys here laying three with

43
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: an over under at forty three, both teams coming off

44
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: the minibi. Here with the Thanksgiving games, Bears have to

45
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: come from behind win against a hapless Lions team, while

46
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys get pushed around a bit by the Bills.

47
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: Dallas still controls its own destiny in the NFC East.

48
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: The Bears need to basically win out and have some

49
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: How do you feel here looking at it with the

50
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys laying three and the total at forty three.

51
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 3: Look, I hate both these teams. I think both these

52
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: teams are betting nightmares. But the thing with Dallas is, Look,

53
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: they can control the clock and they can run the

54
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 3: football with Elliott. So when it comes to betting on

55
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 3: a road favorite, I don't always hate it with the

56
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 3: Cowboys because, look, their defense is good enough. The Bears

57
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 3: defense has been so inconsistent. And Mitchell Trubitsky, I mean,

58
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: I think if you can get this thing under three,

59
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: if it ever goes down to two and a half,

60
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 3: jump on it. I know there's a book here, and

61
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: there's one book here in Vegas that's got it at

62
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: two and a half. I would love it at two

63
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 3: and a half. Three, I'm okay with it, but I

64
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: don't love it. I just think Dallas is a mess.

65
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: I do believe they're gonna make a coaching change at

66
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 3: the end of the year. I think there's gonna be

67
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: some real questions about the future for Dak Prescott. He

68
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: doesn't have the extension, so the team may actually move

69
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: off of him. I mean, the Bears are stuck with Trubitsky.

70
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 3: I don't believe Matt Nagy is a great football coach,

71
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: a great head coach in the NFL. So I think

72
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: there's potential there for changes in Chicago. So, I mean,

73
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 3: both these teams I don't think are really gonna do anything.

74
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: But if you have to bet this game, I would

75
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 3: prefer Cowboys minus two and a half if you can

76
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: get it.

77
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

78
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: For me, the total strikes me as something where I

79
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: might look at the under. I mean, you're gonna be

80
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: in Chicago. I'm sure it's.

81
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: Gonna be windy. You know it's gonna be cold.

82
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: Neither of these teams at this point have offenses that

83
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm particularly excited about. The Cowboys obviously have some explosion,

84
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,239
Speaker 1: but the Bears defense has you know, it's taken a

85
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: step back, but it's remained overall solid. A Keem Hicks

86
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: is back to practicing this week, so that's going to

87
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: really help them in the run defense if is able.

88
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: To show up.

89
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: So I have no faith in Mitchell Trubisky to be

90
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: able to move the ball, despite what he did against

91
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: the Lions on Thanksgiving and again the Cowboys right now,

92
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: they just you know, things seem a little disjointed to

93
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: Mark Cooper fighting through injury. So if anything at this

94
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: right now, I lean towards the under, but I don't

95
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: expect this to move all that much either way. Let's

96
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: move on to the Redskins at the Packers. Packers here

97
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: laying a bunch thirteen and a half with the total

98
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: at forty two and a half. So the Packers coming

99
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: off the big and predictable win against the Giants in

100
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: the snow, it really looked like they probably could one

101
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: by forty points if they were so inclined to do so.

102
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: They still don't really look to be hitting on all

103
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: cylinders to me, at least on either side of the ball.

104
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: They're a strong team, not quite as dominant as I

105
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: looked early on. Meanwhile, the Redskins beat the Panthers relying

106
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: primarily on their running game, with Darius Guice and Adrian

107
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: Peterson combining for three rushing touchdowns. They will try to

108
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: do the same thing here against the Packers team that

109
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 1: isn't great against the run. So thirteen and a half

110
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: at home over under a forty two and a half,

111
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: what do you think.

112
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: I opened up at fourteen and a half, it's come down.

113
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 3: I would love if it goes back up. I doubt

114
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: that's gonna happen. In all honesty, here in the month

115
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: of December. Should anybody be laying two touchdowns? Anybody? I mean,

116
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 3: I don't care who they are. This is professional football

117
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: late in the year. Your system should be in place,

118
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 3: your plays should be well known. I mean, it's just

119
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: it's kind of crazy. I mean, there are two lines,

120
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: and I know one's a look ahead line here with

121
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: the Vikings game. We'll get to later with the Lions,

122
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: but anybody, I mean, fourteen is nuts. Thirteen and a

123
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 3: half is kind of nuts. I mean, this is almost

124
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: an auto fire for me. I don't care who's playing.

125
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 3: It's a NFL football team putting on a uniform with pros.

126
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 3: I just think the Redskins, I kinda hold your nose

127
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: and take the points just because. I mean, if if

128
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: the Packers win, the back door could be open in

129
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 3: this one. I just don't think you can lay this

130
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 3: many points with anybody in the NFL this late into

131
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 3: the season. So I know I'll be on the Redskins

132
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 3: almost just as a system play. Taking the two touchdowns.

133
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: But I mean, the Packers are the right side. They're

134
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 3: gonna win this game. In my mind, it's just a

135
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: matter of how many points are they gonna win it by.

136
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: And I don't really trust the Packers to blow anybody

137
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 3: out here unless the weather just is completely disastrous. But

138
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: like you mentioned, the Redskins are running the football, so

139
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: krummy weather actually might favor the dog here in this one.

140
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really, I completely agree with you.

141
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: There's no circumstances where I would take the Packers given

142
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: where the spread is at this point.

143
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: But I have such a difficult time.

144
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: Some of these teams with the Redskins, you know, for

145
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: a while with the Dolphins are playing better now, it's

146
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: so difficult to think about Dwayne Haskins going in there

147
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: and scoring any points whatsoever. But I agree, you can't

148
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: take the Packers with this number. It's just too my.

149
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: But I mean, this is probably where I.

150
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: Think it would stay, and in the end, there's even

151
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: at this number, there's probably more value on the Redskins,

152
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: but I doubt I'll be able to pull the trigger

153
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: on it. And let's talk about the other game with

154
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: the big spread that you mentioned. The Lions at the Vikings. Currently,

155
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: Vikings are laying thirteen and a half the total at

156
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: forty two and a half. You mentioned we're recording this.

157
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: Actually we started at halftime of the Monday night game.

158
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: So everybody's healthy for now, so that's all we're really

159
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: looking for in the look ahead lines. So we don't

160
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: know what the Vikings are going to come out of,

161
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: assuming they come out healthy. Look, they've been playing extremely

162
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: well on both sides of the ball, generally speaking. Once

163
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: they've opened up the pass offense, even without Adam Feelin,

164
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: they you know, the offense is scary with Dalvin Cook

165
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: back there. For the Lions, it sounds like they're just

166
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: going to have to roll with David Blau at this point.

167
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: Jeff Triscoll has been placed on ir Stafford is still

168
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: weak to week, but it's highly unlikely you're going to

169
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: see him at least this week. Not overally impressive football team.

170
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: So again, we just talked about it. Addiefield here almost

171
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, thirteen and a half over under at forty

172
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: two and a half. Are you taking the Lions? Are

173
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: you gonna buye the ball?

174
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, system play. I mean it's it's December. The

175
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 3: Detroit defense. I mean, I know it's a third string quarterback,

176
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 3: but again, I don't think you can lay fourteen points

177
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: with anybody. And we'll see what happens with the Vikings

178
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: and whether this line changes at all, if there's an

179
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: injury or something, if you know, Cousins were to get

180
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: hurt or something in the second half of the game

181
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 3: against the Seattle Seahawks. But it is a again, in December,

182
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: we're talking about two teams. These teams know each other.

183
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: I mean that this is not a situation where I'm

184
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: comfortable laying two touchdowns and two dome teams playing in

185
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: a dome. I know the Vikings defense is ferocious and

186
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: tough to play at home, and the lines may have

187
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: a difficult time scoring. So maybe the under is a

188
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 3: better play with that one. You know, at forty two

189
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: and a half, it's not the you know, anywhere near forty.

190
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: I get nervous for unders. But I still think the

191
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 3: dog is the side, just because it's too many. But

192
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: it's two touchdowns, my goodness, fourteen points. It's crazy at

193
00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 3: this one.

194
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: I honestly feel a little better about the Lions because

195
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: there's still I.

196
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: Mean, a competent football team.

197
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, blow isn't it's certainly far from impressive, but

198
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: they have playmakers at least on offense, you know, you know,

199
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: with Kenny Galladay. Marvin Jones is still there. I mean,

200
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: they did just place T. J. Alkinson on IR, so

201
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: they are you know, dropping like flies a little bit.

202
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: But I you know, same thing basically as the last game.

203
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: There's no way I'm taking the Vikings.

204
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: In this game. There's just no way.

205
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: I mean that the spreads and it's a divisional game

206
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: of all things, right, that two teams know each other well.

207
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: So I agree that, you know, sort of grudgingly, I

208
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: would take the Lions if I had to choose a side,

209
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: but it's probably a game and I'm going to stay

210
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: away from Let's movan go ahead.

211
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: Sorry, it's it's a no play I mean, both those

212
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: games are no play games. I mean to be quite honest.

213
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: But you know, if you're if you're looking at you

214
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 3: gotta play it. If if you if both these teams

215
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 3: are left in your pick them in your in your

216
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 3: survival pool or something, and you got to go ahead

217
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 3: and play and play one of them. But I think

218
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: the dog is desided to be on.

219
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on here to the Panthers at

220
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: the Falcons. Falcons here are currently laying two and a

221
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: half in our consensus odds with a high total of

222
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: forty eight. The Panthers just try ending in the wrong

223
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: direction here. They lose to the Redskins. Kyle Allen is

224
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: showing very clearly that he is not the long term

225
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: mantar quarterback for the Panthers. That defense has started to struggle. Meanwhile,

226
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: after a brief resurgence, the Falcons have come back down

227
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: to earth in their past two games, latest one against

228
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: the Saints on Thanksgiving. There is some optimism that Julio

229
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: Jones is going to return here. It sounds like they'll

230
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: get their right guard, Chris Linstrom back. It's a divisional

231
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: game between two teams. Both of them are out of it.

232
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: What do you think Falcons under a field goal two

233
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: and a half over under at forty eight.

234
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 3: You know, the Falcons are the weirdest team in the

235
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: NFL because so many professional betters them men the Lions. Really,

236
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: professional betters have been on both these teams all year long,

237
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 3: and whether whatever the number was, they've been taking them,

238
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: betting them, and they've been burned consistently. But they don't care.

239
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 3: They keep on going back to the well. And then

240
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 3: last week they almost got depending on where you got

241
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: the number opened up at nine and a half. It

242
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: was bet all over down to six and a half

243
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 3: against the Saints and they have those crazy, ridiculous on

244
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 3: side kicks, and you know, I'm watching it in a

245
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: bar in San Francisco and somehow I stumbled onto a

246
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 3: Saints bar with my brother. We were like, where the

247
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 3: hell are we in San Francisco, But it was you know,

248
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: they were throwing up in their beer because of how

249
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 3: here come the Falcons and so many of them, A

250
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 3: bunch of them had nine plus and minus nine and

251
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: to throwing their you know, there's really angry and the

252
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 3: fact that the team can't cover the line, and it

253
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 3: is it is tough to take Carolina here simply because

254
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: Kyle Allen, as you mentioned, is regressing so fast and

255
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: it is wild to see some of these guys who

256
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: we thought were going to be taking the jobs of

257
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 3: you know, former MVPs and oh my goodness, how in

258
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 3: the world, you know, Cam Newton should be on the

259
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: trading block and now everyone's like, well, wait a minute,

260
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 3: maybe we should keep Cam Newton. Maybe this Kyle Allen

261
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: guy is not actually you know, maybe he was undrafted

262
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: for a reason. So this has been a weird couple

263
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: of weeks for certain quarterbacks. To Kobe Brisett hasn't played well,

264
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 3: you know, coming in to replace Andrew Luck with the Colts.

265
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 3: I if I'm gonna take a side here, I think

266
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 3: you gotta take the Falcons because dan Quinn's coaching for

267
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 3: his job, and I think he has a defense that's

268
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: you know, playing at least competently, and the offense is

269
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: still you know, there's still better playmakers right now on

270
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 3: the Atlanta offense than the Carolina offense overall. I know

271
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 3: McCaffrey is an amazing player, but they're really one dimensional.

272
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: If you can stop the run, you can stop the Panthers.

273
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 3: So I'll probably if you can get it at one

274
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 3: or even a pick, I would take Atlanta. The movements

275
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 3: on the Falcons right now, some books here in Vegas

276
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: are uped all the way to all up to three,

277
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 3: So I'll lay the points. I don't want to go

278
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: over three here, but I will lay the points to

279
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: the Falcons.

280
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, one hundred percent agree. I'm not going to a

281
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: field goal if you can get it. Our consensus odds

282
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: are two and a half. I take it at that point.

283
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean the Panthers to me, just look click a

284
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: team that's about ready to mail it in. I'm sure

285
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera is going to be done. You know they

286
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: have playmakers. DJ Moore is one of my favorite players

287
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: in football. Christian McCaffrey is awesome. But you know, the

288
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: one thing is we all called for dan Quinn to

289
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: be fired for several weeks and then the team, Look,

290
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: they play hard. They may not get it done, but

291
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: they are playing hard. And if Julio Jones comes back,

292
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: I you know understand that he could easily shut it

293
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: down just because you know it's a lost season. He's struggling,

294
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: but he's a gamer. He wants to play. I think

295
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna put up a good effort here at home.

296
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: So if you can get it under a field goal,

297
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I would lay the points. Once

298
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: you get up to three and the key number, I

299
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 1: get a little nervous.

300
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true, but it also I am curious what

301
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 3: happened during the bye for the Falcons because something changed.

302
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: I don't know who said what to whom, but they

303
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 3: came out much different. They won those two games right

304
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 3: out right off the bye. You know something, at least

305
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: dan Quinn showed signs of life with his team more

306
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 3: than other coaches, so that may have kept his job.

307
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, one hundred percent. I mean, everybody was calling

308
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: for him to be fired, couldn't believe he wasn't. And

309
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: then somehow they come out and they put up these

310
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: two kind of really big performances, particularly defensively. So it's

311
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: good to see. I mean, it's good to see them

312
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: putting in the effort. And that's really why, because I

313
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: feel like the Panthers are three seconds away from just

314
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: being like, all right, we're done. We'll just you know,

315
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: go through the motions. Ronovero will be gone, We'll find

316
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: a new quarterback and we'll move on there.

317
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 2: Forty nine ers at the Saints.

318
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: Ooh, this is a good one, Matt Saints slaying three.

319
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: Currently in our consensus odds over under at forty four

320
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: and a half, forty nine ers is a very tough

321
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: game in the right whether to Baltimore. They remain one

322
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: of the strongest all around teams in the NFL, as

323
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: do the Saints, though their offense is not quite clicking

324
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: right now. You know, they're more relying on their defense.

325
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: They are home here, so laying the field, go, what

326
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: do you think Saints playing three total at forty four

327
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: and a half.

328
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: You know, this is the stretch for the forty nine

329
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: ers where we get to know and find out a

330
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 3: lot about them. So you know a lot of their

331
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: wins early in the year were against teams like the

332
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: Redskins and the Bengals and the Box and the Panthers,

333
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: and it's kind of like, all right, they're running through

334
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 3: some people, and then they get beat by the Seahawks

335
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 3: and you're like, okay, Seahawks. They turn around and they

336
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: have a tough game against the Cardinals. They have that

337
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 3: ridiculous you know, depending where you got the line, but

338
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: that lineman for the Cardinals chucking the ball in the

339
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: end zone lately either a push at ten or maybe

340
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 3: you had a ten and a half like I did.

341
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 3: You won, But that game was ridiculous that the review

342
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 3: never happened. We all learned a lesson about instant replay

343
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: at the end of that game. And sports gamblers, look,

344
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 3: you should review every scoring play. I don't care when

345
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 3: it is okay if you're taking money, and the NFL

346
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 3: is in bed with sports books. What the hell are

347
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 3: you doing that review that play? That's got to be Yes,

348
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: I'm still mad and bitter about that. But then you

349
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: go Packers, Ravens, Saints, right, I mean, you're starting to

350
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 3: get into into this. You know, you're going all right,

351
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 3: you know, And this is the last game here on

352
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 3: the road at New Orleans. They end with the Falcons

353
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 3: Rams and at the Seahawks. I this is a big

354
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: game for the Saints. This is a big game for

355
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: them to kind of get back up into the home

356
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: field homefield advantage conversation. This is hard for me. I mean,

357
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 3: I think the forty nine ers are the better team,

358
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: but I think at home in the Dome, I think

359
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: this is a monster game for the Saints, a chance

360
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 3: to kind of send a message. I'm okayle in three

361
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 3: here and taking New Orleans and and and I think

362
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: it could be back to back losses for the forty

363
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 3: nine er. It's in particular Jimmy Garoppolo on the road

364
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: in the Dome. Uh oh, I'm petrified about some some

365
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 3: turnovers and interceptions and mistakes from Garoppolo that might lead

366
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 3: to the victory for the Saints. So I'm gonna lay

367
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: the three points here. This is a game I probably

368
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: will play with New Orleans at home.

369
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think think I'm gonna play it. If

370
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: I had to pick a side, I would take the Saints. Actually,

371
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: what I kind of like here, by the way, depending

372
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: on what happens to night, and you know, we at halftime,

373
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: we don't know if the Seews are gonna win.

374
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: The forty nine Ers might be looking.

375
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: At the five seed right now, especially if they don't win,

376
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: So they're gonna be desperate just as well both teams.

377
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: It's just it's a wonderful game rightly, just to watch

378
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: because both teams are good teams. Both teams are going

379
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: to be desperate for the win. The thing I like

380
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: a little bit is I lean a little bit towards

381
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: the under. It's forty four and a half. It's not

382
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: a huge number, but you know, the Saints do not

383
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: turn the ball over ever, and you know they're on

384
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: pace right now with potentially the lowest amount of turnovers

385
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: I think for any team in the NFL ever, maybe

386
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: unless I misread that, but in the end, I think

387
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers defense, you know they're opportunistic right,

388
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: they cause turnovers, the forty nine Ers get some short fields,

389
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: are able to score. I think with the lack of that,

390
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: with the Saints tough defense, and again the forty nine

391
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: ers strong defense, Saints offense is not what it once was.

392
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: I kind of see.

393
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: This as a close, low scoring game. I don't think

394
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: either team. I agree with what you said about Garoppolo.

395
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: So to me, the under is the even though it's

396
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: not a huge number, it sticks out to me as

397
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: maybe the play that I would like more than the total.

398
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: I just I feel like, man, I don't have both

399
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: these teams are just gonna be absolutely not desperate for

400
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: this win.

401
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: So it makes me a little nervous.

402
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: It could be a I mean, there could be an

403
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: NFTY Championship preview. I mean the heat, the heat is

404
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: definitely on Garoppolo here, and you know, to go into

405
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 3: a hostile environment and play well and not turn the

406
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 3: football over. I just think that the Saints in that

407
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 3: home field advantage. I'm always it's kind of like the

408
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 3: Patriots in Foxborough. If I'm looking at three or less

409
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 3: and it's a quality Saints team, I have a tough

410
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 3: time saying they're not gonna win that game out right.

411
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: Well, that's a little preview of what you're gonna be

412
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: thinking when we get to the Patriots game later then.

413
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: But first, let's get to the Bengals at the Browns.

414
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: Browns here are currently laying eight and a half, the

415
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: total at forty and a half. This has moved significantly

416
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: from the Look headline. From what I could see, it

417
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: looks like the Look headline was seven and a half.

418
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: It's eight and a half. The total was forty three

419
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: from what I'm seeing, and now it's forty and a half.

420
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: Let's just break up the Bengals here. They beat up

421
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: on my hapless Jets. Andy Dalton understand they should get

422
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: John Ross back. They add another layer to their passing offense.

423
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: The offensive line is a little bit healthier, you know.

424
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: All the Browns los a tough one to the Steelers.

425
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield bangs up his hand. He's supposed to be fine.

426
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: Didn't have his best day against an admittedly tough defense.

427
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: How do you feel here about the Browns laying eight

428
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: and a half with the total at forty and a half?

429
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 3: Just a clown show for the Jets. By the way,

430
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 3: how do you lose that game. I mean, this is

431
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 3: just not that's the Jets. That's just the Jets. You

432
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: just can't lose that game. I mean, there's just absolutely nothing.

433
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 3: You can't lose that game.

434
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: Yes, when you score thirty four points in three straight games,

435
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: you're bound to just put up six against a tough

436
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: defense like the Bengals. Man, I mean, get on board.

437
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: This is my life, by the way. It's a Jets fan.

438
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: It's fun to do it, by the way, in the

439
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: betting context, so that I can have betters who sort

440
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: of want to back the Jets understand what my life

441
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: has been like for the last forties or so years.

442
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I had just some typical for fun

443
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 3: things going and I'm like, yeah, I'll just throw the

444
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 3: Jets game in there, you know, for the hell of

445
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 3: it on a money line. They're not gonna what like,

446
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 3: how do you lose that game? Just my I mean

447
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 3: my fall for not you know, expecting the Jets to

448
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 3: be the Jets. But you know that this is a

449
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 3: I mean, the Browns are the side right because the

450
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 3: Browns are five and seven, they're fighting for a playoff opportunity.

451
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 3: They're probably not gonna make it, but you know, they

452
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: they've got to end this year on an upswing after

453
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 3: all the nastiness and all the crap they've gone through.

454
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not a very big Baker Mayfield fan anymore.

455
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 3: I like guys that you know who kind of go

456
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 3: quietly through the NFL. And sure, he's being offered contracts

457
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 3: to do commercials and whatnot. So I would say yes

458
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: to it too if I was getting paid that much money.

459
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: But you know, it's really put a big bulls out

460
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 3: on his back, and he's not lived up to the

461
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 3: hype by any means. But you know, if they end

462
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 3: the year and they wound up eight and eight till

463
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 3: they wind up nine and seven, I think the Browns

464
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: can save some face here. But you know, the Bengals.

465
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 3: This is a classic fate spot, right because the Bengals

466
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 3: get their first win. Zach Taylor, who is the worst

467
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 3: coach in the NFL. He's thirty six years old. I

468
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 3: harp on this all the time. Kid never should have

469
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 3: gotten the job. I covered him at Nebraska. Bill Callahan

470
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 3: shouldn't be a head coach. Zach shouldn't be a head coach.

471
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 3: They're both head coaches in the NFL right now, which

472
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 3: is absolutely ridiculous, But fade the Bengals for the rest

473
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 3: of the year, and look, eight and a half's a

474
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 3: little high, but as long as you're not going near

475
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 3: double digits, I think the Browns of the safe side.

476
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. I think the Bengals got

477
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: their win and now they're good to just sort of

478
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: sit back and enjoy it. And again, their win was

479
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: as kind of you alluded to, far less about them

480
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: and much more about the Jets.

481
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 2: So I agree with you here.

482
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: I think the Browns bounce back in a big time

483
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: when and if you can get it for under double digits.

484
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: Look, you knew, I mean that game.

485
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: You knew they were going to go in there, there's

486
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: all the bad blood. You knew that they were just

487
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: going to put up a stinker offensively going into there.

488
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 2: It was really whether or.

489
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: Not Duck Hodge was going to be able to put

490
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: up any points, and he did just enough. But I

491
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: agree with you here. I think the Browns are going

492
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: to be you know, whatever faint playoff hopes that they

493
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: still have, I think they're going to come through here

494
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: and keep it going with a big win again under

495
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: double digits. Completely agree with you. It is a big line,

496
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: but for me, I'm okay with it. Let's move on

497
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: to the Colts at the Bucks, Buck here are currently

498
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 1: laying two and a half with the over under at

499
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: forty seven and a half. Again, both of these have

500
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: moved from what I can tell from the look ahead,

501
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: it was Bucks laying three and a half and the

502
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: total at fifteen and a half. So down there, Colt's

503
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: starting to fall apart. At the seams here, they're dealing

504
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: with a ton of injuries on the offensive side, including

505
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack and t Y Hilton, though at least Mack

506
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: may return in this game, although not sure he'll be

507
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 1: able to do all that much against the bucks vaunted

508
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: run defense. They like to run the ball. That's tough

509
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: to do against the Bucks. I mean, while the Bucks

510
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 1: they come up with a strong win against Jacksonville, you

511
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,120
Speaker 1: know they're going to be able to move the ball

512
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: with Jameis Winston. You know there's going to be at

513
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: least one critical turnover, and you know that their pass

514
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: defense is pretty weak. So how do you feel here

515
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: under a field goal? Bucks laying two and a half

516
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: at home total at forty seven and a half.

517
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this team was holding things together post

518
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: Andrew luck retirement with a lot of hope and optimism,

519
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: and I think their will got broken last week. I

520
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 3: don't know how three guys get through the line of

521
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 3: scrimmage to block Adam Vinteri's kick, but they somehow managed

522
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 3: to do it, and then I only blocked the damn thing.

523
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: They returned it for a touchdown and ended the game.

524
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 3: And then Ryan Tannehill all of a sudden has just

525
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 3: I mean he is wally pipped Marcus Mariota. I mean,

526
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you are not going back to Marcus Mariota

527
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: unless Tannehill just throws up all over himself. With the

528
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: way he's passing him. He's the best quarterback in the

529
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 3: division right now. And that's I know Watson is there,

530
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 3: but this means on paper, Ryan Tannehill is the best

531
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 3: quarterback in the division. So I don't understand what's going

532
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: on with the Colts, but I think everything, including the injuries,

533
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 3: I think t Y Hilton's done. I mean they thought

534
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 3: he was done if you go back, and not to

535
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 3: combine basketball and football, but remember when Kevin Durant had

536
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:35,959
Speaker 3: the calf injury and they thought it was a it

537
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 3: was a calf. It was a calf, and it turned

538
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: into a into a pretty significant injury to his achilles. Well,

539
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 3: this goes back to a statement that was made to

540
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 3: me by an injury expert on my radio show, where

541
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 3: he said, there is no right now, there's no scientific

542
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 3: data that determines when the calf ends and where the

543
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: achilles begins. So if it's somewhere in that range, it

544
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 3: might be both. And I think that's what t Wise got,

545
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: and he's gotten achilles. I think that they're going to

546
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 3: shut him down and not risk it for or long

547
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 3: term injury, much like what happened with Kevin Durant coming

548
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 3: back and finally snapping the damn thing. So I think

549
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 3: t Y is gonna be done. I don't know if

550
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 3: they rushed back back. I mean, the dude had a

551
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: broken hand, he had surgery, he's trying to play on it.

552
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 3: So I think this is a team that just is

553
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,239
Speaker 3: too banged up in the wake of Andrew luck. I

554
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: on the road at Tampa, I can't back Indianapolis here.

555
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 3: I think Tampa Bay, even though they're five and seven

556
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 3: at home, I think the Colts might be toast and

557
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 3: I think the Buccaneers of the side.

558
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, everything you're saying is correct. And they also lost

559
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: Erik key Brown, Let's not forget that. So they're really

560
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: down offensively. And you know, Hilton was not only battling

561
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: the cav injury, but early in this season he was

562
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: battling the quad injury, so he's really been dealing with.

563
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 2: A lot of stuff. I agree with you.

564
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: If there is a side, I think it's the Bucks,

565
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: particularly under three, but I'm not willing to risk it.

566
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: I've lost too much money on the Bucks this season,

567
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: you know, going on.

568
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 2: It's just one of these things where I don't know.

569
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: I could see certainly them coming out in Winston just

570
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: throwing like two pick sixes or something, but I can't.

571
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: You can't back the Cults at this point. They also,

572
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Frank Reich, you know, is one of, if

573
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: not the best coach in the NFL.

574
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: I won't, of course, you're Bill Belichick.

575
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: I want you know bad about that, but you know,

576
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: Reig is great.

577
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 2: He's gonna hold them together enough.

578
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: But I just don't think they have the talent at

579
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: this point to keep it going, especially with the division

580
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: slipping away from them. So if there is a side,

581
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: I'm inclined to agree with you that it's the bucks.

582
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: It's not one that I'm gonna play, even under a

583
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: field goal. Before we move on, I want to tell

Speaker 1: hundred gambler. All right, man, let's move on to the

612
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: Broncos at the Texans. As you might expect, the spread

613
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: moves a little bit after last night's big win by

614
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: the Texans. It's currently Texans laying nine and a half.

615
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: The look ahead was eight total stays, where it is

616
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: at forty one and a half. The Broncos look they

617
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: took one from the Chargers, but Drew Locke was hardly impressive.

618
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: The defense continues to play, you know, fine, as well

619
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: as they can the Texans, though, you know that's the

620
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 1: big story. They really took it to your Patriots on

621
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: Sunday Night football. The secondary is healthier they're playing well.

622
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: They've got all their wide receivers healthy. How do you

623
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: feel here about a big number nine and a half

624
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: with the total of forty one and a half?

625
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: Fade the Houston Texans. This is one of my favorite

626
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 3: plays of the week. All right, Look the Broncos. They

627
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 3: have covered for the last five weeks. The Broncos defense,

628
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 3: with Vic Fangio really maligned for most of the season,

629
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 3: they have come around. I know the offense has got

630
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 3: some real issues, but they've got two very good running backs. Look,

631
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 3: this number is approaching double digits. I'm sorry, No way

632
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 3: are the Texans. No way should they be laying ten,

633
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: ten points, nine and a half points. The Broncos might

634
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 3: be four and eight, but they've got a lot of

635
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 3: fight in them, and they got a lot of pride

636
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 3: with some great veterans on that defensive side of the football.

637
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 3: Texans are gonna win the game, I think, But I

638
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: think they're gonna be in for an absolute war here

639
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 3: with the Broncos. Give me the points plus nine and

640
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 3: a half with the Broncos. I love it, and I

641
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: would even wait because I think the public's gonna come

642
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 3: in with both fists on the Texans. It's it's classic,

643
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 3: what have you done for me lately? I think the

644
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 3: Texans it's recency bias, Broncos plus ten or more. Give

645
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 3: it to me, it's Denver all day.

646
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: Man.

647
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 1: I was legitimately, I was about to jump in with

648
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: if you do like the Texans, just don't bet it yet,

649
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: because there's the the I mean, I think this is

650
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: gonna be probably the game where there's gonna be the

651
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: biggest differential between the number of bets that are placed

652
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: and the money that's actually placed. Right because the sharp

653
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: betters are gonna come in. They're gonna take the points.

654
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: That Texans have a thing where they like to just

655
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: sort of lay an egg right after you start to

656
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: dress them. This is the prime spot for them. That's

657
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: a huge win. This is gonna be a massive letdown

658
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: for them.

659
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 2: So I agree.

660
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you know, we've moved from eight to

661
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: nine and a half. I'm sure that movement is not

662
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: done yet. The public, especially on a you know, a

663
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: nationally televised game beating the Patriots, they're gonna pound the

664
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: Texans up at least another half point, if not you know,

665
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: a full point, a point and a half something like that.

666
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: So it's gonna get larger. So if you like the Texans, diagree,

667
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: is the right side. If you like the Broncos, I'm sorry,

668
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: which I agree is the right side in this game.

669
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: I don't feel as confident quite as you do, just because, man,

670
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: I watched that Broncos game closely, and you know, Courtland

671
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: Sutton is incredible, but Drew Locke really just you know,

672
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: sort of, you know, I didn't see all that much

673
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: of a difference between him and you know, David Blau

674
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: basically when when they first came out and stuff like that.

675
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: I'm sure his career will be a little brighter. So

676
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: it makes me a little nervous. But I agree sharp

677
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: side is certainly the Broncos. But I would wait. I'd

678
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: wait because I do think, as you said, that the

679
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: spread is going to continue to rise. Let's move on

680
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: here to the Dolphins at the Jets.

681
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 2: Jets who he needs to Yes, we have to.

682
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: I am contractually obligated to discuss every game on this slate.

683
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: Jets laying six total of forty four. The Dolphins with

684
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 1: the big win over the Eagles, they led primarily by

685
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick and Devonte Parker. They continue to play hard

686
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: despite an immense lack of talent.

687
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 2: While we have.

688
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: Talked about the Jets, they squander all their goodwill a

689
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: lifeless performance there. They scored just six points. Jamal Adams

690
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: also hurts his angle. His status is a little bit unclear.

691
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins won the last game these two teams played, and

692
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:14,719
Speaker 1: now they're getting six points.

693
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: How do you feel here?

694
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 3: Look, this is Dolphins football in December in New England

695
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: slash New York. All right, this is fade Dolphin City

696
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 3: in particular after their win. I mean, this is a

697
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 3: game I'm going to play. I'm going to be on

698
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 3: your Jets, and I love it that it's under a

699
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 3: touchdown here. I don't like it at six and a

700
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 3: half or seven, but at six I think you gotta

701
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 3: roll with the Jets here. And look, the weather will

702
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 3: watch it. I mean nor'easter is blasting through New England.

703
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 3: We'll see what the backside of that looks like. Normally

704
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 3: it's a cold front that makes it frigid. So if

705
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 3: that's happening, you've got Dolphin football players who just are

706
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 3: basking in all that Miami sunshine and their victory, their

707
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 3: third win, which was monstrous for the books, that had

708
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 3: that at one and a half or two for a

709
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 3: win total for Miami. So now they're at three. So

710
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 3: here they go up to New York. Jets got embarrassed. Look,

711
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 3: I don't think Adam Gay should be a head coach

712
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 3: in the NFL. He was bad in Miami, but this

713
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 3: is a rivalry game for him. He mentioned the first loss.

714
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 3: I just think the Jets are gonna play for pride here.

715
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 3: Not much of it with the Jets this year, but

716
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: I think this is a pride game for the Jets

717
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 3: and they do wind up winning and covering.

718
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: Yes, that is correct. All of what you said is correct.

719
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: The Jets are gonna win the game. They're going to

720
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: cover it. This is what the Jet and Adam Gay

721
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: should not be a head coach. Everything you said I

722
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: will double down on. Yeah, No, I completely agree.

723
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 2: This is what the Jets do.

724
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: If you trust them, they're certainly going to break your

725
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: heart and put up a complete stinker. It has been

726
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: my entire life as a Jets fan. But this is

727
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: also what they're gonna do. It's gonna be a game

728
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: where some people are gonna look at look that people

729
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: are gonna like the Dolins. It's not gonna get back

730
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: up to seven. By the way, I think the look

731
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: headline might have been seven. It's not gonna get back

732
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: up there. It's gonna stay below the touchdown, in which

733
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: case I will be all over the Jets as well.

734
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna bounce back in this game. They're not nearly

735
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: as bad as they look. Sam Darnold's gonna have a

736
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: good game. Le'Veon Bell is gonna probably have his last

737
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: hurrah before the Lake. You don't really want to face

738
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens or any like that. Let's just you know,

739
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: relax you here. So I agree, this is gonna be

740
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: a big game. I think the Jets are going to

741
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: come out and play well.

742
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: So if you can stomach.

743
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: It, I agree the Jets at the right side, and

744
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: I'll certainly be playing it this weekend. Let's move on

745
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 1: to the Ravens at the Bills.

746
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 2: A really good game.

747
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: Here, Ravens laying five down from six and the total

748
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: at forty three and a half. This is gonna be

749
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: a fun one. It's in Buffalo, both teams coming off

750
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: big wins. The Ravens win against the forty nine ers

751
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: in the nasty weather. They continue to hit on all cylinders.

752
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: They've got the top seed now, as you know in

753
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: the AFC. Meanwhile, the Bills, look, they make a statement

754
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,239
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. They are on the pats heels. They

755
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: are headed home. That is a very difficult place to play.

756
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: But their achilles heel is the run. That's what the

757
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: Ravens strength is. So how do you feel here about

758
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens laying five with the total at forty three

759
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: and a half.

760
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 3: All right, So this has been a ongoing Twitter battle

761
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 3: I've been having with Bills mafia because I don't believe

762
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 3: the Bills are any good. And so last week I

763
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 3: had a bunch of people say, Okay, if we beat

764
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 3: the Cowboys, will you finally acknowledge that the Bills are good?

765
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: I said, yeah, this game in primetime, you beat the

766
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: Cowboys on the road, I'm gonna say, yes, the Bills

767
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 3: are good. So the Bills win that game. So they

768
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 3: showed it. They showed me a little bit that they've

769
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: got more going on to maybe I'm giving them credit for. However,

770
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 3: if the Ravens lose to the Buffalo bleeping Bills, okay,

771
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 3: I'm gonna lose my mind. This game should be a blowout.

772
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 3: The Ravens should take the Bills behind the woodshed and

773
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 3: beat the living tar out of them coming up. So

774
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 3: if this game is even close in the fourth quarter,

775
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 3: I will be irate. So the Ravens should kill Buffalo,

776
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 3: and as a Patriot fan, I need the help. Okay,

777
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 3: So I need to bleed the breathing room here because

778
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: the chief game, which we'll get to here in a second,

779
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 3: I need the help. So Ravens big it. It better

780
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 3: happen because if it doesn't, I'm gonna hear it, and

781
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have a lot of explaining to do it

782
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 3: at my hatred of Bill's mafia in the Buffalo Bills.

783
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, a lot of Ravens players listen to this podcast,

784
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: so you're in luck that they're gonna be all fired

785
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: up now you've got them ready to go. Look, I look,

786
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, I've been agreeing with you a lot on

787
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: this podcast by but I'm not going to pretend that

788
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: I don't. Just to make it, you know, sort of

789
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: a fun show.

790
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 2: I agree.

791
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: I've been fading the Bills a lot this year, and

792
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: it hasn't really worked out for me all that well,

793
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: They've they've just continued. I had a nice big preseason

794
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: bet on them. I think there were six and a

795
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: half wins. I thought they'd sail over that. But you

796
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: know this, they're They're better than I expected. But look,

797
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: I do not think that they were in the Ravens class.

798
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean, realistically, you can beat the Bills pretty handily

799
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: on the ground. That's a real big Achilles heel, and

800
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: that is what the Ravens are going to do. And

801
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: they're just they're unstoppable.

802
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: At the moment.

803
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, the Bills will be able

804
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: to put up some points, but realistically, Josh Allen, you know,

805
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: continues he hasn't thrown them any picks, but he's, you know,

806
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: hardly the most accurate quarterback. The Ravens can stop the run.

807
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: I don't think John Brown's gonna be able to do

808
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: all that much. I just don't see the Bills really

809
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: being able to hang with this team, so especially getting

810
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: it under a touchdown. Yeah, I'm all over it. I'm

811
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: certainly going to be in on it right now. I

812
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: think you're on the right side. But again, you know,

813
00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: Ravens players, all of you guys who are listening to

814
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: Matt's big on this. He needs the help, So get

815
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: on it there. Let's move on to the Chargers that

816
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Chargers here are laying two and a half

817
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: the over under at forty three and a half. If

818
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: you can back the Chargers in any game, you're probably

819
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: a better man than I am. Both these teams look

820
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: dead in the water. Philip Rivers just looks dune.

821
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: See.

822
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: The offense is stagnant, the defense is far from imposing.

823
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 2: Ditto with the Jaguars.

824
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: They're going to turn back here to Gardner Minsho has

825
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: already been announced after the Nick Bolls run goes nowhere.

826
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: They do have pieces on offense, but they're not explosive.

827
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: Their run defense is highly beatable. So how do you

828
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: feel here about the Chargers on the road laying two

829
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 1: and a half of the total of forty three and

830
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: a half.

831
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 3: See this is why sports gambling is so necessary for football,

832
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 3: because there is nothing about this game that's attractive. There's

833
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 3: nothing about this game that's interesting. Both these teams suck.

834
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 3: Both these teams are boring. Both these teams blow games

835
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 3: like crazy. They turn the ball over crazy. Philip rivers career,

836
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 3: for all intentsive purposes, is over. Okay, correct, and he

837
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 3: might be back next year because they're moving in to

838
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 3: a new stadium, But this Charger team is not gonna

839
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 3: do anything. I'm with you. I don't know how you

840
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 3: back the Chargers. I think the Jaguars have quit, but

841
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 3: I think the La Chargers also have quit. I mean,

842
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 3: they just lost to the Broncos. I just don't I

843
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 3: just can't get behind either one of these two teams.

844
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 3: If I'm gonna play it, I probably would play the

845
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 3: under because I don't think either team wants to be

846
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 3: a part of this game. So forty three and a half,

847
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 3: I probably will say it's like a twenty to seventeen

848
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 3: type of victory for one of these two teams. But

849
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 3: this is a disgusting game between two teams I have

850
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 3: no interest in watching.

851
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm avoiding this game entirely because I'm not going

852
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: to be forced to have an interest in this game,

853
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 1: where otherwise I could just enjoy many other games. Yeah,

854
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 1: there's no way i'd back either one of these teams,

855
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: regardless of the spread. You could do whatever you want.

856
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: I'm just staying far away from it. On the spread, yeah,

857
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: I agree. If there is a play, it's probably the

858
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: under at forty three and a half because I think

859
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: both teams are gonna heavily rely on the run. I

860
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: mean that's where you attack the Jaguars, so you'll see

861
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: a lot of Melvin Gordon, and I think you know

862
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: that they've committed to giving Leonard Fournette a ton of carries,

863
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: So that's going to eat up into the clock. That's

864
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: going to have longer drives, and so I think probably

865
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: the under is the play, if there is one. But

866
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm just avoiding it all together and I'm going to

867
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: be a happier man for it. Let's move on to

868
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: the Titans at the Raiders. Titans here are laying three

869
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: with a total of forty seven and a half. Two

870
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: teams head in opposite directions. Here.

871
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 2: You mentioned it earlier.

872
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill is playing about as well as any quarterback

873
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now. I mean, it's good to see.

874
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't know whether or not this is the same

875
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: guy that was in Miami and he just needed to

876
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: get out of there, but he's playing like really, really

877
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: really solid football. Not just the fact that they're winning.

878
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean, his passes are crisp, they are accurateies fitting

879
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: it into tight windows. He's just playing extremely well, and

880
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: then it's getting colder and no one really wants to

881
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: tackle Derek Henry, so their offense is clicking on all cylinders.

882
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: The defense remains solid. Meanwhile, the Raiders record is finally

883
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 1: catching up to their point differential. They've had a brutal

884
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: schedule with all the road games. Derek Carr never plays

885
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: well in the cold, as it has been shown recently.

886
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,959
Speaker 1: But they are going back to Oakland here things seem

887
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: to be falling apart a bit. It struck me as

888
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: I thought the spread would climb higher toward the Titans,

889
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: but right now they're laying three with a total of

890
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: forty seven and a half.

891
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're owned three the last three games against the spread,

892
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 3: going back to that win over the Bengals where they

893
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 3: didn't cover, and then they've scored twelve points in the

894
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 3: last two weeks. The loss to the Jets was the

895
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 3: real eye opener, losing thirty four to three on the road,

896
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 3: and you know that that's just kind of you can

897
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 3: excuse the loss to the Chiefs. And you know, the

898
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 3: second of the weather forecast came out, you know, I

899
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 3: you know, here in Vegas we get a lot of

900
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 3: Raiders stuff because they're moving here next year. So you

901
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 3: know Derek Carr's record when the temperature is below forty

902
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 3: it's pretty well documented. So I you know, I laid

903
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 3: the eleven points pretty quickly with the Chiefs once I

904
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: saw the weather forecast for the game, and you know that,

905
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 3: you know, it was over pretty much up to the

906
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,720
Speaker 3: first quarter and turnovers, fumbles, interceptions, it was just really ugly.

907
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 3: I I really don't know what to make of the

908
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 3: Raiders except that if I'm gonna bet this, I think

909
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 3: the Titans are the side. They're alive in the division.

910
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 3: They've got a defense that travels, they can run the football,

911
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 3: and I feel like the Raiders are starting to kind

912
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 3: of mail it in. He mentioned all the travel. I

913
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: think they're getting a little tired of John Gruden, and

914
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 3: I don't really know what Gruden thinks again of Derek Carr. So,

915
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 3: I mean, things are not going well with the offense.

916
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 3: They're not moving the football the way they used to.

917
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: And look, Jacobs is a phenomenal rookie. You only had

918
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 3: an a one hundred yard game basically last week. But

919
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 3: you know, they just are Injuries are catching up to them.

920
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 3: Raiders are gonna be an interesting team for the next

921
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 3: couple of years because I do like the young Corps,

922
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 3: but injuries and I just don't think they're that good.

923
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 3: I think the Titans on the right side here, even

924
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 3: though it's a road road favorite here.

925
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, I laying three. I'm all over the Titans. Absolutely,

926
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: I'd probably feel fine with it up to four, maybe

927
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 1: even four and a half. I think they're they're gonna

928
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: have a big game here.

929
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 2: I agree.

930
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: I look the Raiders, you know, they they the future

931
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: is not you know, it's fairly bright. I really do

932
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: like Jacob's Waller has shown that he's a real player,

933
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: but you know, without Hunter renfro and you know, they're

934
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 1: just not you know, they just they weren't as good

935
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: as they looked, essentially from the beginning. So when they

936
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: struggle to run the ball and the Titans run defenses

937
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: solid overall, it's hard for them to get stuff going.

938
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 3: But they kind of and I think people actually started

939
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 3: to take them seriously. I think part of the thing

940
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 3: was that people weren't really taking the Raiders seriously and

941
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 3: kind of thought, oh, that's an automatic victory, and then all

942
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 3: of a sudden they were playing hard. Because I do

943
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 3: think they've got young talent. I mean Cluton Ferrell, their

944
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 3: top pick, has played pretty well from the defensive line perspective,

945
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 3: and Abram there could I missip be state the safety

946
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 3: that got hurt early in the year was a big blow.

947
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 3: But you know, they've got some guys that play hard

948
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 3: and like playing football. I like what Mayock is doing.

949
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 3: I think next year, moving into the new stadium, I

950
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 3: think they'll probably be an over five hundred football team.

951
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: But I just think right now, late in the year,

952
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 3: in December, knowing the playoffs are a long shot, and

953
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 3: the injuries and the travel and the opponents, I just

954
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 3: think they're not gonna I don't think players want to,

955
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 3: you know, make a business decision as to whether or

956
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 3: not they want to tackle Derrick Henry on Sunday. So

957
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 3: I just think the Titans of the right side.

958
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: No, I completely agree. And again, remember, you know, just

959
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: kudos to the Raiders. Remember they lost Antonio Brown right

960
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: before the season start, right right, I mean Tyroll Williams suddenly,

961
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: who by the way, is battling Planter Vasciitis has been

962
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: their number one wide receiver and he's not a number

963
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: one wide receiver at all. And they lost Hunter Rent

964
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,840
Speaker 1: for so kudos to them for hanging in there, but

965
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: I agree, they just look like they're about to completely

966
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: fall off a cliff. And again, it's as much about

967
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: the fact that I really like what the Titans are

968
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: doing right now.

969
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: I think they're really dangerous with Tennail back there.

970
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: So before we finish up, I want to let everyone

971
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: know that we are going to be randomly selecting the

972

Speaker 1: all future contests. All right, let's move on to the

980
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: big one here. Matt Chiefs at Patriots Patriots Laying three,

981
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: already know what you're gonna do because you basically said it.

982
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 2: The total at forty eight and a half.

983
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: Look, Patrick Mahomes, he looks healthy coming off the buy

984
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: the Chiefs running backs are dropping like flies, and their

985
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: defense still is are very good, but they're able to

986
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: put up points. Meanwhile, you saw it last night the

987
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: Patriots defense struggled against the Texans. It's kind of becoming

988
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of a thing for them against mobile quarterbacks.

989
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 1: They play a lot of man so their backs there.

990
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: Their offense looks a little out of swords here, Matt,

991
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: So what do you think you're the Pats fan? You

992
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: said you take them at home lank three or less,

993
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: So laying three forty eight and a half, you're all

994
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: over the Pats here.

995
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the classic bounce back spot. Everyone says,

996
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,239
Speaker 3: this guy is falling. Tom Brady's angry. Look, this is

997
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 3: on paper, one of the worst Patriot offenses in the

998
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 3: last twenty years. I just if you look up and down,

999
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 3: what they're asking for Mohammed Sanu and you know, Julian

1000
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 3: Edelman to do is quite remarkable. But I think this

1001
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 3: is a team that when they go back home, their

1002
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 3: defense tends to score, they tend to turn the football over.

1003
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 3: The Patriots run the ball more aggressively. They're just a

1004
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 3: different team at home. And look, the Patriots are known

1005
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 3: to do this. They last year, they were twelve and

1006
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 3: four and they won it all. They dropped back to

1007
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 3: back road games late in the year. Everyone thought they

1008
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 3: were done. They dropped two games early in the year,

1009
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 3: everyone said, oh, here comes to the cliff for Tom Brady again.

1010
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 3: I mean, they've been predicting this for five years now

1011
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 3: that the Patriots were going to be done. The Chiefs

1012
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 3: are definitely a dangerous team here. But the Chiefs defense

1013
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 3: is still garbage. Okay, it's still not a good defense.

1014
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 3: And the Patriots are gonna need to play, you know,

1015
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 3: don't turn the ball over, don't do what they did

1016
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 3: early in the game against the Texans where they threw

1017
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 3: an interception. Ni kil Harry needs to learn how to

1018
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 3: run routes with Tom Brady. That was a horrible play.

1019
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 3: It's just one of those situations where I think going

1020
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 3: home is a monster game. And remember I mean that

1021
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 3: entire coaching staff, the entire team. Basically, it's like the

1022
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 3: Patriots south in Houston. That was their super Bowl, so

1023
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 3: they were geared up primetime game. They walked in with

1024
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 3: that stupid whatever, you know outfit that the defense that

1025
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 3: we're wearing before the game that was shown on Twitter.

1026
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 3: I think this is a spot for the Patriots to

1027
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 3: get right. And it's a short line. It's only gonna

1028
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,359
Speaker 3: be three. Everyone's gonna be on the Chiefs. You might

1029
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 3: even get it a two and a half. I was

1030
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 3: talking to a book maker today saying that you know

1031
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 3: they're not getting off of three because they know what

1032
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 3: happens if they do. But you know a lot of

1033
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 3: people are gonna be on Kansas City here. It's gonna

1034
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 3: be a big public play. Patriots are gonna be the

1035
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 3: professional side, and I'll stick with the Patriots at Foxborough.

1036
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I completely understand where you're coming from. And again,

1037
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: as a Jets fan, you can imagine how many texts

1038
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: I get every year to round this time saying this

1039
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: is the end. Finally you know Britty's going and every

1040
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: year he bounces back. I'm probably not gonna get involved

1041
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: in it. Everything you're saying is correct, But I'm a

1042
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: little nervous. I really, I admit I'm a little nervous

1043
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: right now about the offense and what they're able to do.

1044
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean justifiably, of course, but I really don't know

1045
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: what they're gonna be able to do. I actually like

1046
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 1: the total and I think the defense is is gonna

1047
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,520
Speaker 1: play well. But I think you know, when you go

1048
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 1: back to the AFC Championship game, you know, they completely

1049
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: shut down the Chiefs for the first half, and then

1050
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 1: you know Mahomes and Tyreek Hill they're able to just

1051
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: put up points. So I think the Patriots are going

1052
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 1: to score in this game. I think there's gonna be

1053
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: a lot of scoring, frankly from the Patriots offense, but

1054
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs are going to find a way

1055
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: to hang with them because a healthy Mahomes always finds

1056
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: a way to put a point. So for me, even

1057
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: with the high number at forty eight and a half,

1058
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 1: I like the over here. I think I'm probably staying

1059
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: away from the spread. I get it though. You know,

1060
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: I certainly I would not back the Chiefs. I will

1061
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: say that because there's no way the Patriots laying three

1062
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 1: to anybody at home. You know, there's just no way

1063
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: I would get on it. But I really I don't

1064
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: feel comfortable back in the Pats at that number. So

1065
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: for me, I'm going to be looking more at the total.

1066
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: But I get where you're coming from, and everybody's got

1067
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 1: it now he you know, Matt is big on the

1068
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,479
Speaker 1: paths as long as it stays at three. And again,

1069
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: it's not gonna move up. I mean, it's not going

1070
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: past three for sure, if anything, going to move down.

1071
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 3: But well, it's funny too because because the unfortunately the

1072
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 3: Bills and the Ravens play before the Patriots. They're in

1073
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 3: the the late afternoon slot on CBS, so that I

1074
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 3: don't like because if the Bills lose, the Patriots will

1075
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 3: know that, hey, even if we win, we still have

1076
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 3: a game in hand over Buffalo, So I don't like that.

1077
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 3: I would rather had that game be played simultaneously. But

1078
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 3: but the Patriots in this spot, this is the prime

1079
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 3: time spot. This is you know, it gets dark in

1080
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 3: New England at basically four thirty in December, so that

1081
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 3: this is essentially a night game, and fans are going

1082
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 3: to be tailgating all game long. And the Chiefs they're

1083
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 3: not afraid to play in cold weather. But it's never

1084
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 3: fun to go on the road when it's cold.

1085
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:28,399
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1086
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely, let's move on here to these Steelers at the Cardinals.

1087
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: Steelers here laying two over, by the way, every every

1088
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: single game that we get to, by the way, your

1089
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 1: first reaction is, oh man.

1090
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 3: Because there's some real crap games. This this is one

1091
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 3: of them. I mean, what the hell happened to Kyler

1092
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 3: Murray last week?

1093
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: It was really a disaster, which is why the line

1094
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: has moved from Pickham to Steelers laying two and the

1095
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: total from forty five and a half to forty three

1096
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: and a half. I mean, you talked about it, the

1097
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals embarrassed by the rounds. Oh look to me, I

1098
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I saw that game. That was my top

1099
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: pick on the Thursday show is the Rams laying three

1100
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. It just seemed like an obvious spot for

1101
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,439
Speaker 1: the Rams to have sort of a get right game

1102
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: with their offense. But the Cardinals were embarrassed on both

1103
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Their defense has always been weak. Murray,

1104
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: you know, he is a special talent, but he clearly

1105
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: cannot get anything done there. The Steelers, meanwhile, as we

1106
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: talked about the big win over the Browns, they're right

1107
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: in the playoff mix. Doc Hodges is not special. He

1108
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: does enough to keep them in the game with that defense.

1109
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 1: So what do you think here? Steelers going on the

1110
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 1: road to Arizona laying two forty three and a half.

1111
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 3: I just have a tough time and I did it

1112
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 3: last week. I have a tough time backing a quarterback

1113
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 3: named Duck. I just don't It's just like something out

1114
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 3: of like a bad fifties sitcom. I just can't stand it,

1115
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 3: like of all the nicknames you can pick, like, what

1116
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:38,879
Speaker 3: the hell duck?

1117
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: No?

1118
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 3: But fine, Look, the only side to play is the

1119
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 3: Steelers here, because I think the Cardinals whatever happened during

1120
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 3: the bye week. This is what everyone said about the

1121
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,919
Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals this year. Every win they get is gonna

1122
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 3: happen before the bye because they have an absolutely horrific

1123
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 3: schedule after their bye week, starting with the Rams last week.

1124
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 3: So the team bought into it and listen to the hype,

1125
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 3: or Kyler Murray is still on vacation, or they're sick,

1126
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 3: kind of Cliff Kingsbury's crap already. I don't know what happened,

1127
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 3: but that's a team that came back from a bye

1128
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,760
Speaker 3: week and was still on vacation. And I think taking

1129
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 3: on a Pittsburgh Steelers team that knows it to play

1130
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 3: in December, this is a bad recipe for the Cardinals here.

1131
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 3: This is a bad matchup for the Cardinals. One team's hungry,

1132
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,359
Speaker 3: one team's done. You know, I think the line, as

1133
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 3: long as it's under three, I'll take the road favorite

1134
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 3: here in Pittsburgh.

1135
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,919
Speaker 1: Correct under three Steelers is certainly the play for me. Look,

1136
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,919
Speaker 1: I love Kyler Murray. I really like watching him play.

1137
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: But you know the fact that they were able to

1138
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: cover that first game with the big sp I mean,

1139
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,760
Speaker 1: they were getting blown out in that first game against

1140
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, they came back late. I think

1141
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,560
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers took their foot off the gas,

1142
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:48,919
Speaker 1: and then you know the fact that they were able

1143
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: to keep it close in that second game. Again, I

1144
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: think it was a lot more about the fact that

1145
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers really just weren't clicking on all Sellmers.

1146
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: I just do not try. I have not trusted the

1147
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals all year. I don't trust them now against any

1148
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: semblance of a strong defense. Again, love Murray as a player,

1149
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: but I do not expect them to come out on

1150
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: top of this game. So as long as it is

1151
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: under three, I'm totally willing to back the Steelers here,

1152
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: and I'm fine. Just want it on record, I'm completely

1153
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: fine with the Duck nickname. Okay, I mean it's fine.

1154
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 1: I mean I really don't mind it. Let's move on

1155
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 1: to the Seahawks at the Rams. Seahawks here are laying

1156
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: two and a half, the total at forty six and

1157
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: a half. Again, we were recording this right in the

1158
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,720
Speaker 1: middle of halftime at the Seahawks Vikings game. So assuming

1159
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: nothing crazy happens tonight, I mean, you know, look, the

1160
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: Seahawks are not quite as good as their record has been.

1161
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has really been making some magic happen. They

1162
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 1: find ways to win pretty much every game. The Rams

1163
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: keep their faint playoff hopes alive here with that big

1164
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: win over the Cardinals. We just talked about Jared Goff.

1165
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 1: He plays well because there's no pressure getting to him,

1166
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: which is really what causes him to completely fold tight

1167
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: game the first time these two teams met. Now you're

1168
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, how do you feel here about the

1169
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: Seahawks laying two and a half with the total of

1170
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: forty six and a half.

1171
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, just real quick to kind of update earlier when

1172
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 3: we were talking about the low and the Vikings. So

1173
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 3: Dalvin Cook has left this game with a with a

1174
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 3: shoulder injury, so that could really impact what happens next

1175
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 3: week for the Vikings and the Lions. Just FYI to

1176
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 3: kind of scroll back on that line being you know,

1177
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 3: you may want to take the Lions right now at

1178
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 3: plus thirteen and a half plus fourteen if Dalvin Cook

1179
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 3: is going to be out for any length of time

1180
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 3: for Minnesota. But you know, nothing really serious happening for

1181
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 3: the Seahawks on an injury perspective at this point. Look,

1182
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 3: this is the game of the year for the Rams.

1183
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:30,879
Speaker 3: This is Sunday night football. This is we find out

1184
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 3: whether or not the Rams are any good. I don't

1185
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 3: think the Rams are any good, and I think the Seahawks,

1186
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 3: you know, win or lose here. You know, hard fought

1187
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 3: game against the Vikings. They will either be ten and

1188
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 3: two or nine and three, and they're playing for a

1189
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 3: lot and they got to keep pace with the forty

1190
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 3: nine ers I under three. I think Russell Wilson and

1191
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 3: the Seahawks are the side here. I just can't trust

1192
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 3: the Rams. I know they've blew what they blew out

1193
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 3: the Cardinals last week, but I'm just not a fan

1194
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 3: of what's going on with this team. I think Gurley's

1195
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 3: not going to be the same player again due to

1196
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 3: the arthritis in his knee. I think everybody overvalued what

1197
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,479
Speaker 3: happened with Jared Goff last year. Overvalued being b Sean

1198
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 3: McVay even I like the Seahawks here.

1199
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, despite the fact that they're going to be coming

1200
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: off a short week. Look at the bottom line is this.

1201
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,279
Speaker 1: There's no team I mentioned the Cardinals a team that

1202
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: I cannot trust. The Rams are right up there, other

1203
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: than when they played the Cardinals. You know, irresistible force

1204
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: meets immovable object. You get pressure on Jared Goff and

1205
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: he completely folds. At this point, it's basically been like

1206
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: this for a full season. The offensive line is abysmal.

1207
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are slowly but surely upping their pass rush

1208
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: at this point, so I think just offensively, they're not

1209
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: going to be able to do very much. I have

1210
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: no problem backing the Seahawks here at anything less than

1211
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: the field goal without questioning. But gets above a field goal,

1212
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: I think the game is probably going to be tight

1213
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: because the Seahawks always played tight game, So if you're

1214
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: pushing the field goal or over, I'd get a little worried.

1215
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: But under a field goal like it is right now

1216
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: two and a half, I'm all over the Seahawks right now.

1217
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: I'm not trusting the Rams whatsoever. Let's move on to

1218
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: the final game of the the Monday Night Game, the

1219
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 1: Giants at the Eagles.

1220
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 2: This one deserves enough if you want to throw it

1221
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 2: out there.

1222
00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:07,280
Speaker 1: The Eagles here currently laying eight total at forty seven.

1223
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 1: The Eagles blow an absolutely golden opportunity here against the Dolphins.

1224
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: They've dealt with injuries all year, but there's just something

1225
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 1: not clicking with the team. Meanwhile, the Giants, they get

1226
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 1: beat up pretty good by the Packers. They're not a

1227
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: great football team. Daniel Jones is battling a mild ankle injury,

1228
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: but he'll play.

1229
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 2: How do you feel here?

1230
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,720
Speaker 1: A divisional game obviously a must win for the Eagles,

1231
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: who also control their own destiny because they play the

1232
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: Cowboys or I'm not sure actually if they do anymore.

1233
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: But Eagles laying eight total of forty seven.

1234
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 3: So this is like a harken back to remember, like

1235
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 3: for a couple of years that ESPN's Monday Night Football

1236
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 3: had nothing but horrible football games and we all were like,

1237
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 3: my god, another awful game. Well, they had the pretty

1238
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 3: good games, like sign's a good game. This is one

1239
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 3: of those games where you're just like, really, this is

1240
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 3: the game we have to watch the Giants against the Eagles,

1241
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 3: Like we have to sit through this in primetime of

1242
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 3: all the game, Like this is horrible, Like flex this,

1243
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 3: give me Monday night football. Flex my gosh. But so

1244
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 3: the Giants. The Eagles are playing with the Giants, Redskins,

1245
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 3: Cowboys at home and then at the Giants to end

1246
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 3: the year, so they've got nothing about divisional games left.

1247
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 3: So you're right about controlling their own destiny. But I

1248
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 3: just feel like this is too heavy of a number.

1249
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,839
Speaker 3: I mean, I eight just feels too too much. And

1250
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 3: I can't believe I'm saying this. But the Giants, I

1251
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 3: don't know what to make of this team. I you know,

1252
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 3: both offensively defensively. Pat Shermer's probably getting fired. I mean,

1253
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 3: who knows where that team is going right now. I

1254
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 3: don't mind Daniel Jones. I like Saquon Barkley a lot,

1255
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 3: but I I don't know. If I had to play

1256
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 3: this game, I probably would take the eight points. But

1257
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,800
Speaker 3: I'm most likely just gonna have to, you know, shut

1258
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 3: this game, or have this game all in the background

1259
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 3: while I'm doing other stuff around the house and I

1260
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 3: have it on mute and this jacket to check in

1261
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:51,880
Speaker 3: once in a while, because I really have no interest

1262
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 3: in this game on Monday.

1263
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1264
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 1: Really, the only thing I could say here is that,

1265
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: under no circumstances would I back the Eagles. That's the

1266
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: only conclusion I can dry here, either on the total

1267
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,319
Speaker 1: or on the spread. After what they did against the

1268
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: Dolphins in a game that was basically like you, you

1269
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: have to win this game, and it's against the Dolphins

1270
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: who are quote unquote plucky but not really going to

1271
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 1: be able to get it done. I don't see how

1272
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: you can back them at this number. It's sound like

1273
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: I love the Giants at this number. I could see

1274
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: talking myself into playing them, given that it's over a touchdown.

1275
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: But the only thing I know for certain is that

1276
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: there is no way you could take the Eagles laying

1277
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: a touchdown or more. It's just impossible. I whatever is

1278
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: missing with that football team, something is missing. And you know,

1279
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't even know how healthy they're going to be,

1280
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: Asheon Jeffrey at the very end of that game walked

1281
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:43,280
Speaker 1: off limping. He's battled injuries all year, so he could

1282
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: be down. You know, Jordan Howard is still out. They're

1283
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 1: just they're just not getting it done.

1284
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 2: So for me, it's probably a stay away. If anything,

1285
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 2: it's the Giants.

1286
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: But whatever you do, do not take the Eagles.

1287
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm a big believer. I don't know

1288
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 3: how you feel about two team teasers, but I'm a

1289
00:52:56,800 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 3: big believer in two team teasers in the NFL. After

1290
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 3: which it's a week nine and how difficult these lines are,

1291
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,800
Speaker 3: and the fact that I mean when I tease the

1292
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 3: Eagles down to four and a half, the fact that

1293
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 3: I was like, they have to be able to beat

1294
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 3: the Dolphins. It's a must win game. I mean, maybe

1295
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 3: they win by three and I get burned, but teasing

1296
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 3: down to four and a half under no circumstances they

1297
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 3: ever say, Well, the Eagles are gonna lose the game

1298
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,719
Speaker 3: outright to the Miami Dolphins, and they're gonna lose it

1299
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 3: with a bunch of trick plays and they're gonna be

1300
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:28,720
Speaker 3: made to look like fools by Brian Flores. I completely

1301
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 3: that was of all we've had a bunch of like,

1302
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 3: oh my gosh moments in the NFL. That game was

1303
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 3: right up there where with everything on the line. The

1304
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 3: Eagles are now fourteen and fourteen since the Super Bowl,

1305
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 3: and Carson Wentz. I mean, I think we got to

1306
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 3: start at least beginning to ask ourselves questions about Cartson

1307
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 3: Wentz a little bit and what this team looks like

1308
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 3: with him out the quarterbacks spot going forward. I know

1309
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 3: injuries have played a huge role in the offense this year,

1310
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 3: but this entire team under Doug Peterson, I don't know

1311
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 3: what to make of the Eagles. It's quite embarrassing happened

1312
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 3: last week.

1313
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: I mean I was on them laying the ten. I

1314
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 1: mean really I was. I was like, they are gonna

1315
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: smash this team right now. Their offensive line had gotten

1316
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,880
Speaker 1: back healthy, Alshon Jefrey was gonna play.

1317
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 3: Elsewhich was healthy.

1318
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know, just ridiculous.

1319
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm completely off the Eagles at this point,

1320
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 1: especially when you're at a number remotely close to this high.

1321
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna do it for today's show, Matt,

1322
