Speaker 1: Check it on Man No Down Man Thursday morning, January.
Speaker 1: It is the Beating the Book podcast, Megapod, Gil Alexander,
Speaker 1: Mike Holm, Todd wishnev and on our Super Bowl fifty
Speaker 1: four special Props edition with some game handicap as well.
Speaker 1: Jeff Parlay. Jeff Parl's returning to the show as well. Gentlemen,
Speaker 1: thank you all for being here. I appreciate the entire season. Okay,
Speaker 1: now here's no one says thank you for having me today.
Speaker 1: I will speak for the other two and I would
Speaker 1: imagine they will thank you as well for having them
Speaker 1: all year long. Well, thank you, Jeff, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: One of us has to be an adults here. Todd,
Speaker 1: please take your telephone O far away from the damn microphone.
Speaker 1: God bless America. It's been twenty shows. Man. Look I'm
Speaker 1: researching the big game right now. So did did you
Speaker 1: just find out about the matchup? Wait? We're talking about
Speaker 1: Rider at Monmouth, right, Rider at Monmouth. We take this
Speaker 1: break from Australian open coverage to give you Super Bowl thoughts. Gentlemen.
Speaker 1: Let us start with props. Well, actually, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's start with the game itself, because all of this
Speaker 1: is related to your props, you know, in theory ought
Speaker 1: to be somewhat correlated with your game handicap so real. Briefly,
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a lot to say about
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty four, which hasn't been said all week long,
Speaker 1: but we really didn't say to this format. So Jeff,
Speaker 1: we start with you as the guest. Kansas City the
Speaker 1: Chiefs one point favorites over the Niners. Total open at
Speaker 1: fifty one and a half. That is where I jumped
Speaker 1: on it. So the only game bet that I made
Speaker 1: is the first line that was released was at halftime
Speaker 1: of the Niners Packers game. It was twenty seven and nothing. Uh.
Speaker 1: In the NFC Championship off shore, they put out lines
Speaker 1: immediately Kansas City minus one and the total was fifty
Speaker 1: one a half. I thought that was an egregiously low total.
Speaker 1: I leaned Kansas City. I actually parlayed the two because
Speaker 1: I thought it a bit correlated that if Kansas City wins,
Speaker 1: most likely it will be in over. So that's what
Speaker 1: I have. It has since moved, the total has anywhere
Speaker 1: to fifty four and a half, even some fifty five's
Speaker 1: out there. I believe the South point ticked it fifty five.
Speaker 1: But that's fifty four and a half consensus, Jeff, your
Speaker 1: thoughts on Super Bowl fifty So I'm sitting on a
Speaker 1: plus seven fifty chief Super Bowl picket right now. Yeah
Speaker 1: so so. So I'm in a scenario where I will
Speaker 1: likely let the thing ride and probably have no action
Speaker 1: whatsoever on the on the traditional sense of betting this game,
Speaker 1: I still leaned Kansas City. They have the best player
Speaker 1: in the world in Patrick Mahomes. That offense is something
Speaker 1: that San Francisco hasn't seen this year. And the most
Speaker 1: similar quarterback to Patrick Mahomes that they've seen is Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: And they struggled against Russell Wilson twice. Granted, Wilson is
Speaker 1: his own entity, and he's the second best player and
Speaker 1: I on the planet right now behind the Homes. And
Speaker 1: but they really struggled with Russell Wilson the two times,
Speaker 1: even though they still should have probably win one oh
Speaker 1: and one or maybe even two and oh in those
Speaker 1: two games against Seattle. But I lean Mahomes. I leaned
Speaker 1: the weapons of Kansas City's offense, uh San Francisco to me,
Speaker 1: And it comes back to something Codd has said all year,
Speaker 1: and we didn't see the last two games because once
Speaker 1: Garoppolo threw the interception against Minnesota that led to three points,
Speaker 1: Jimmy G was asked to do absolutely nothing the last
Speaker 1: game and a half. Jimmy G is gonna have to
Speaker 1: do something in this game. If the Niners are gonna
Speaker 1: hoist the Lombardi, I don't think he's gonna be able to.
Speaker 1: He's gonna make one critical blunder and that blonder will
Speaker 1: be the difference. So I like case. I also like
Speaker 1: even at the inflated total. I like the game over.
Speaker 1: Something in the pocket of seven feels about right calling
Speaker 1: his calling his score right there. Jeff Parls, by the way,
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentleman, who hosts a market watch on Visa
Speaker 1: and the Vegas Stats and Information Network series sex sum
Speaker 1: Channel two oh four, four to six, specific seven and
Speaker 1: nine Eastern Monday through Friday on the network. I of
Speaker 1: course hosted Numbers game seven and nine am tended newon Eastern.
Speaker 1: Jeff is my producer producing Number five. Mike Palm is
Speaker 1: the conciliary over there at Circuits Sports. He is the
Speaker 1: vice president of operations. Can I just say this, I mean,
Speaker 1: because everything that that goes through the threat of this game.
Speaker 1: Handicap really does come down to some of the things
Speaker 1: Jeff was talking about, which is which San Francisco forty
Speaker 1: Niners offensive version. Are we going to get the one
Speaker 1: that we saw in the playoffs that was super run
Speaker 1: heavy or the one that we saw most of the
Speaker 1: regular season, which actually, for all the flak that he's
Speaker 1: been getting during the playoffs, actually was a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of Jimmy Garoppolo doing fairly well. How do you see
Speaker 1: this game, Mike, Jeez, I don't don't find there's any
Speaker 1: value betting this pre flop deal. Um. I think the
Speaker 1: numbers about right. Anybody that makes a number on this
Speaker 1: game probably has it between two Kansas City and to
Speaker 1: San Francisco, right, I mean, the game is is really close.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I if I want to bet
Speaker 1: a site here, um, because you can play this scenario
Speaker 1: how different ways, and I think both teams have about
Speaker 1: an equal chance to win. I think we're undervaluing a
Speaker 1: little bit San Francisco's offense because of how one dimensional
Speaker 1: it's been in the playoffs, But I think it can
Speaker 1: be more dynamic. I would lean over. Obviously you've got
Speaker 1: a good number. I thought it came out low. I
Speaker 1: actually bet it at fifty two on Monday after um,
Speaker 1: but now it's at fifty four and a half most places. UM,
Speaker 1: So I'm not interested in in anymore. Uh, there's some
Speaker 1: alternate totals that I'm interested in a little bit into
Speaker 1: the over um, and you can shop around because everybody's
Speaker 1: got a different number right at circus sixty and a
Speaker 1: half over as plus two dollars, so I think there's
Speaker 1: some value there. Um. I know there's some even to
Speaker 1: go into the seventies at plus six dollars, which may
Speaker 1: be worth a little bit of money on him as well,
Speaker 1: because I think that there will be very few punts
Speaker 1: in this game. I think both teams will be success
Speaker 1: about moving the ball um whether or not there are
Speaker 1: chunk plays, and how many possessions are in the game.
Speaker 1: It's probably going to determine exactly how many points are scored,
Speaker 1: but it should just be a really a terrific matchup
Speaker 1: between these two teams. So the only thing I have
Speaker 1: pre flop is over Yeah, And I don't blame you
Speaker 1: at all that that was where the value was, and
Speaker 1: I agree with you. If someone's landing right now, I'm
Speaker 1: not sure there's any preflop value. And one of the
Speaker 1: things we were talking about Jeff and I on a
Speaker 1: numbers game this morning at Visa was the fact that
Speaker 1: with a spread like minus one, minus one and a half,
Speaker 1: whatever you find right now in the Chiefs, it takes
Speaker 1: away another big Super Bowl factor, which is that in
Speaker 1: the last twenty years, for whatever reason, the betting public
Speaker 1: behavior changes with Super Bowls. So during the regular season,
Speaker 1: you know, folks who bet the underdog are typically going
Speaker 1: to take the points, but for whatever reason, for the
Speaker 1: last couple of decades, when they bet Super Bowls, they
Speaker 1: don't tend to take the points. They take the money
Speaker 1: line on the dog, and it creates this muted money
Speaker 1: line price on a favorite, which therefore means value on
Speaker 1: the money line on the favorite. But when a spread
Speaker 1: is this short, we don't even get that dynamic. In
Speaker 1: this Super Bowl. Um Warren Sharp, by the way, points
Speaker 1: out a stat Chiefs have never trailed by more than
Speaker 1: excuse me, Patrick Mahomes has never trailed by more than
Speaker 1: seven And Jeff went out with the exception, I guess
Speaker 1: of that Texans game. In his entire NFL career, last
Speaker 1: time before that he trailed by more than seven was
Speaker 1: against Iowa State at Texas Tech back in Niners this
Speaker 1: year in the second half have trailed by more than
Speaker 1: seven four grand total of four minutes and thirty four
Speaker 1: seconds in that first game against the Seahawks. So this
Speaker 1: could shape up to be one of the great games ever,
Speaker 1: at least through the lens of that stead Todd Wishnev
Speaker 1: showtime docuseries, star of the docuseries Action, also frequent Numbers
Speaker 1: Game co host. Can I call you a co host? DoD?
Speaker 1: Is that allowed on Wednesdays? I'm okay, Uh, Todd Is,
Speaker 1: We're we're pulling Todd away from the impeachment of Donald J. Trump.
Speaker 1: What do you like here? Todd? On the game itself,
Speaker 1: we don't talk politics on the megapod, gil and that's
Speaker 1: a violation of sections the one six four D three
Speaker 1: sub section B, which states no politics on the megapode
Speaker 1: you're watching. I didn't really give your opinion. So, um,
Speaker 1: you want to know about the Cianna Monmouth game where
Speaker 1: the Orna St. Peter's or the big San Francisco game,
Speaker 1: whichever one you want to talk about. Maybe let's do
Speaker 1: the just do the second one. Okay, San Francisco is
Speaker 1: playing gonzag on Saturday, and uh, I'm sorry, no, the
Speaker 1: the Okay, the football game. I think that you know,
Speaker 1: much has been said. It's all been said. It's obviously
Speaker 1: a tight line, probably going to be a tight game.
Speaker 1: The only thing that keeps coming back, and I think
Speaker 1: Jeff Barl has already stole my thunder, is that Jimmy
Speaker 1: g has the best interception babbit of all time. Uh.
Speaker 1: He basically has thrown the ball through the fender's hand
Speaker 1: better than any quarterback I can never remember. There's been
Speaker 1: many many chances for interceptions that have not gone against him,
Speaker 1: and I feel like it's possible. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you watch the action docuseries, but there was a part
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl last year where they were filming
Speaker 1: and I said, isn't goff supposed to make a mistake already?
Speaker 1: It was about eight minutes to go in the game,
Speaker 1: and then literally two minutes later he through the interception
Speaker 1: and down at the three yard line. I just have
Speaker 1: a feeling that old man Jimmy is going to make
Speaker 1: a big pick in a big spot and it could
Speaker 1: cost the Niners the game. So that's kind of my
Speaker 1: feel on the game. Of course, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: pre flop at it. I'm gonna end game it because
Speaker 1: I believe you get more value on the end game.
Speaker 1: If you want to know why I think that, please
Speaker 1: look up all my appearances on a numbers game and
Speaker 1: Dr Gil Alexander's opinions as well. The only thing that
Speaker 1: I tell you is better to bet pregame is Todd
Speaker 1: wishnev at the l v I versus Tennis reference from
Speaker 1: Todd wishnev Um later on the show, by the way,
Speaker 1: reflections on the first year of the Megapod from Mike
Speaker 1: and Todd their first year on the Megapod one and done.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what's coming on reflections.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what they're going to tell me. I'd like
Speaker 1: to ask, you know, I'd like to ask Todd, Yes,
Speaker 1: if he played Sophia Kennon, but at the Sedona court,
Speaker 1: what would the line be? Well, I'll be on was
Speaker 1: the division two or Division one? In tennis? She's the
Speaker 1: second best American women's playing in the Australian Open final. TOTTYO, Well,
Speaker 1: here's the thing I've you know, usually I beat women's
Speaker 1: tennis players on two and one overall against them, so
Speaker 1: you probably have to go with me minus because she
Speaker 1: is God geez, Sophia Kennon, for those who don't know,
Speaker 1: has made us tons of money this week. I got
Speaker 1: her at plus eight fifty to win the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Let's see if it happens. Well, you should thank me
Speaker 1: for not betting it and mushing you, thank you, Lord,
Speaker 1: you're not kidding, all right. Well, I just want to
Speaker 1: say this about the game itself, though. I love that
Speaker 1: this podcast has evolved through the years and literally like
Speaker 1: we've gotten to the point finally in the year where
Speaker 1: it's okay to not have a real strong conviction on
Speaker 1: a pre flop bet because there's so many other things,
Speaker 1: the endgame being first and foremost among them. But obviously
Speaker 1: the props, which most bookmakers will tell you now is
Speaker 1: fifty conservatively of their action when it comes to Super
Speaker 1: Bowl handle. Well, so it's our first year, so Derek
Speaker 1: and I, Derek and I had a discussion on Championship
Speaker 1: Sunday and we wanted to each other's opinion on what
Speaker 1: percent of our total handle on Super Bowl would be
Speaker 1: on props. Right, So Derek thought it would be between
Speaker 1: fifteen and right, I said, I thought it would be
Speaker 1: around But if we got this matchup, I thought it'd
Speaker 1: be higher because you're not going to see the money
Speaker 1: line betting, right, and the money line betting would the
Speaker 1: percentage because you see large wagers each way on money lines.
Speaker 1: Let's say the game was a six or seven, right,
Speaker 1: So I thought maybe it would creep over because we
Speaker 1: wouldn't have the larger money line as of nine am
Speaker 1: this morning, and right, the most action will come in
Speaker 1: the next three days. But as of nine am this morning,
Speaker 1: with a little over a million written on the game already,
Speaker 1: we're at sixty percent of the action is on the
Speaker 1: problem skill six on the problems. But I would suggest
Speaker 1: that's gonna go down because you're gonna get more square betting,
Speaker 1: now you know what I mean. Don't you think it'll
Speaker 1: go down mic percentage wise? Well, yeah, because you'll see
Speaker 1: the large bets now on the game on the sides
Speaker 1: and totals the hundred thousands, two hundred thousands. So right now,
Speaker 1: we haven't seen that yet, right. I think we took
Speaker 1: an eighty thousand dollar bet on the Chiefs of minus
Speaker 1: one is the largest single wager we've taken so far,
Speaker 1: but they'll be the masses of people here and we
Speaker 1: have six thousand people at one party five hundred at
Speaker 1: the other that will pound the props two with twenties
Speaker 1: and fifties and hundreds. So it'll be interesting when it
Speaker 1: all watches out Sunday night. Would you guys mind moving
Speaker 1: the line for me at circuit of plus two thirty
Speaker 1: and I can cut you guys in. I'll cut you
Speaker 1: guys in on ten of the winnings if I went,
Speaker 1: and then I'll come in afterwards, and I'll bet one
Speaker 1: United States dollar on it so that you can get
Speaker 1: away with it. How about that? Todd uh? The Frank
Speaker 1: and Anthony Curtis brought Mattress Mac to the d Monday night.
Speaker 1: Um they have dinner at on Diamo. Of course, also
Speaker 1: he asked us to make that wager at plus one,
Speaker 1: but I gave the steakhouse director heads up that you know,
Speaker 1: Mac will tell you what he's gonna pay for his steak.
Speaker 1: It's the line of the week, all right. I would
Speaker 1: like to take this moment randomly to pay tribute to
Speaker 1: the Hard Rock Hotel Casino here in Las Vegas. Yesterday
Speaker 1: I along with my buddy Meltzer, like Seltzer, Mark Meltzer,
Speaker 1: we met at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas. Now,
Speaker 1: for those who have listened to this podcast for many,
Speaker 1: many years, you know that I spent a great deal
Speaker 1: of my adult life living in that damn building, in
Speaker 1: that hotel casino. Judge me if you will, but had
Speaker 1: great memories for me. It was a massive period of
Speaker 1: my life where I spent in an inordinate amount of
Speaker 1: time in that building. So yesterday, this is the final
Speaker 1: week of the hard Rock. It is going to be
Speaker 1: shut down on Monday, and it's going to turn in
Speaker 1: six months later into a Richard Branson Virgin Hotel, Richard
Speaker 1: Branson that is. And so we went there yesterday and
Speaker 1: the only thing I can say is it was sort
Speaker 1: of like when Michael Jackson died. I would have thought
Speaker 1: if you had told me as a kid that Michael
Speaker 1: Jackson was gonna die, I would have been heartbroken. But
Speaker 1: by the time Michael Jackson actually died in real life,
Speaker 1: the Michael Jackson that I loved and that so many
Speaker 1: of us loved had already kind of died already. So
Speaker 1: by the time he actually physically died, it wasn't quite
Speaker 1: as emotional. This was what happened at the hard Rock
Speaker 1: Yesterday's completely you know, as I said in thirteen, they've
Speaker 1: done all these renovations for the sake of renovations. They
Speaker 1: ruined the circle bar in the middle. Just a crap
Speaker 1: show what they did. They're late in their history. So anyway,
Speaker 1: it was a ten minute, so ten minutes of a
Speaker 1: harrowing experience where I couldn't wait to get the hell
Speaker 1: out of there. But I did did pick take pictures
Speaker 1: of the pool. Memories did flood back, and there was
Speaker 1: a guy. My whole thing was, will there be anybody
Speaker 1: working there at the sports book or at the diner
Speaker 1: that is still there after all these years? And sure
Speaker 1: enough I walked into the sports book and there's this
Speaker 1: ticket writer Randy. That's so I couldn't believe it still there.
Speaker 1: And as soon as I walked in, he looked at
Speaker 1: me like I was the Jettie and he goes kill,
Speaker 1: is that you? And so that was enough for closure
Speaker 1: for me. At the hard Rock r I p pour
Speaker 1: out of forty for the hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada,
Speaker 1: a huge staple of this podcast for many, many years.
Speaker 1: Let us talk props. Let's do game props first, and
Speaker 1: then we'll get to the more exotic ones if you
Speaker 1: will later. All right, Jeff, we start with you game
Speaker 1: related props. What is your single favorite one, oh Gil,
Speaker 1: Based off the list I had this morning for a
Speaker 1: numbers game, I apparently have nine the jillion one that
Speaker 1: I probably will bet um, but look the one that
Speaker 1: I've already been and that Look, it's one of those
Speaker 1: where we're relying on the officials on this one. And
Speaker 1: I know that maybe a scary proposition the folks, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I already am in on. Yes, there will
Speaker 1: be a roughing the pastor call at plus one fifty.
Speaker 1: This thing open at the south point of minus one twenty.
Speaker 1: And then the on the s and in the steam
Speaker 1: came flying in on the no. The uh, the yes
Speaker 1: was as high as plus one sixty. We are in
Speaker 1: a high profile scenario with an elite quarterback and Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: We are in a scenario where Garoppolo already has suffered
Speaker 1: a knee injury. Granted it was on a run play,
Speaker 1: not a passing play. Last year against the same team,
Speaker 1: we were talking about Bill Vinovitch, who even though it
Speaker 1: was not necessarily his fault, it was here. He was
Speaker 1: the head RAF at the non call last year in
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship game in New Orleans, so I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a little bit more likely to call
Speaker 1: something that may be there. And look, all it takes
Speaker 1: is one hard crunch on Patrick Mahomes from Nick Bosa
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get there. So I got I have
Speaker 1: yes plus one fifty. There will be a roughing the
Speaker 1: passer penalty called in the Superman and Jeff fair to say,
Speaker 1: you've been obsessed with that prop for about ten days now,
Speaker 1: I would say I that that is the one that
Speaker 1: has stood out for me. And it's uh at a
Speaker 1: plus money shot, Gil and is uh something I'm more
Speaker 1: than more than happy to lose. If it ends up losing,
Speaker 1: we'll not happy. But you know what, if that's right,
Speaker 1: I am will. I am willing to lose this one.
Speaker 1: If if they play a clean game with the elite
Speaker 1: pass rush of San Francisco and Frank Cark who is
Speaker 1: already chomping at the bid and and talk and smacked
Speaker 1: the d Ford on the other end, um, I'll feel
Speaker 1: all right about myself. And the end yeah, will Patrick,
Speaker 1: will Pat Mahomes be too elusive to be roughed? Will
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo get enough opportunities to be roughed? Can I
Speaker 1: comment on Jeff's please, because I too have been obsessed
Speaker 1: with this prop? Okay, because I think that you're able
Speaker 1: to get real data on it. So I went back. Now, obviously,
Speaker 1: there's only two officials that can call ropping, the past
Speaker 1: or the referee or the umpire. Right is one half
Speaker 1: of that most people do. Benevitch's crew over the last
Speaker 1: four years calls an average of seven point eight roughing
Speaker 1: the passers per year, right, So so you would think,
Speaker 1: just based on that fact, it's about fifty fifty right
Speaker 1: whether they're gonna call right, So at plus one fifty
Speaker 1: would seem a great price. However, to the point Gil
Speaker 1: made outside of the first game this year at Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: where Mahomes absolutely got crunched six times, how did they
Speaker 1: get a clean hit on this guy? He just floats
Speaker 1: around and when he does get sacked, it's like they
Speaker 1: grab him around the ankles and he just falls forward,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So that would seem to
Speaker 1: move the number a little bit more towards the no,
Speaker 1: and then of course how many passes will Garoppolo pro
Speaker 1: And also he tends to want to just get rid
Speaker 1: of the ball quicker than take hits. So I still
Speaker 1: think your price is right, Jeff, at plus one fifty.
Speaker 1: There's value in your side. If it was more towards
Speaker 1: to pick up, I would lean under if it was
Speaker 1: more like minus one fift both ways, But right, I've
Speaker 1: been obsessed with it as well. It's very interesting keeping
Speaker 1: keep in mind if seven point eight doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: there was one in seven games and point eight in
Speaker 1: the eighth games, it's possible there could have been two
Speaker 1: in one game, which means that it's possible that only
Speaker 1: six of the sixteen games did he actually call one,
Speaker 1: So that will also todd. Remember these head officials officiate
Speaker 1: fourteen games a year in the regular season as well,
Speaker 1: they get too by weeks off, So we're looking at
Speaker 1: we're looking at one every one every other week roughly
Speaker 1: with Vinevich's crew. To look there are there are a
Speaker 1: lot there are a lot of a lot of variables
Speaker 1: that go into this play. I go and go into
Speaker 1: the play here, but I just keep coming back to
Speaker 1: Vinoviche was involved and it wasn't necessarily as fault, but
Speaker 1: he was involved in the in one of the biggest
Speaker 1: on field misses in NFL officiating history last year. If
Speaker 1: there is anything tight, especially early, they are to me,
Speaker 1: especially Benevitch himself, And like Mike correctly said, only two
Speaker 1: officials can call roughing the passer based off the angles
Speaker 1: they have. I think Vinevitch is going to be more
Speaker 1: apt to throw a flag on something that maybe if
Speaker 1: he as opposed as opposed to it if it were
Speaker 1: a different official in this spot. That's a fine point too.
Speaker 1: That's a fine point, Young Jeffrey. By the way, on
Speaker 1: Venevich skill, um, there is a prop will I scream
Speaker 1: at the television. I can hate that guy minus nine hundred.
Speaker 1: You should take the Yet, why do you hate minus
Speaker 1: two thousand, Bill Todd? Why do you hate Bill Benevitch?
Speaker 1: Because there's almost no referee that I see in an
Speaker 1: NFL game that doesn't conjure up horrible memories of a
Speaker 1: terrible call, and he's one of them. That is just
Speaker 1: a lingering like I'm just angry about him. There's almost
Speaker 1: none of them. Walt Michaels, I hate I hate Vanovich.
Speaker 1: You know, just keep naming names and I'll say I
Speaker 1: hate him, but there's almost not one of them that
Speaker 1: I don't hate and say I hate that guy when
Speaker 1: I see him on the TV. What what? What? Hold on? Todd? Todd?
Speaker 1: What a career for Wald Michael's coach of the Jets
Speaker 1: and the head official. That's very good Anderson He means
Speaker 1: Walt Anderson. But by the way, Walt Anderson did get
Speaker 1: moved off the field for next year, Todd, so you
Speaker 1: do not have to deal with him. I'm sorry I
Speaker 1: got the names wrong, but you know, I hate all
Speaker 1: of them, you know, the only one, the only one
Speaker 1: I really hated, was Mike Carey. I absolutely despised Mike Near.
Speaker 1: He's one of the few I don't mind. I loved
Speaker 1: Mike Carry. Oh, I thought he I thought he was
Speaker 1: a real prima donna. Uh. I don't understand Mike carry.
Speaker 1: Mike Carrey was not good in the booth, we all
Speaker 1: know that, but I loved him as an official. Well
Speaker 1: you did you ever see him? Gil? He never did
Speaker 1: a Redskins game because of the he hated. He hated
Speaker 1: the races names. How for six years, they never made
Speaker 1: him do a Redskins game. I had a conversation with
Speaker 1: Mike Carry, a fifteen minute conversation with him at the
Speaker 1: Sloane Sports Analytics Conference at m I T back in
Speaker 1: the early twenty ten, so like twelve somewhere in there,
Speaker 1: and I had a discussion with him about certain NFL
Speaker 1: rules and how they called at the previous year and
Speaker 1: how I thought some of them were nonsense and others
Speaker 1: were not, and he he protected the shield on a few,
Speaker 1: but then I did. Then I did get to one
Speaker 1: where he was like, I don't see anything wrong with
Speaker 1: that at all. And then as I walked away, he
Speaker 1: gave me the side eye and a smile, so he
Speaker 1: knew that I was onto something with one of them.
Speaker 1: So I really enjoyed Mike Carry anyway. But anyway, Mike,
Speaker 1: I like your I like your data driven analysis on
Speaker 1: Jeff's though, I like that kind of stuff. What do
Speaker 1: you got? My favorite one goes back to the theory.
Speaker 1: I think this is just a great matchup and will
Speaker 1: be a terrific super Bowl, And so I gave this
Speaker 1: out yesterday. I mentioned Paul largest lead will be under
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half points, and you spoke to some
Speaker 1: of the those points about these teams don't trail by
Speaker 1: large margins outside of that, outside of the Houston started
Speaker 1: twenty four and nothing. Um, that'd be the only time
Speaker 1: that this wouldn't have been true for both for both
Speaker 1: teams for for a year and a half at least. Um,
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. You're gonna it's gonna take
Speaker 1: three consecutive scores. Uh, And that's with it at sea level.
Speaker 1: And this this prop, I bet at plus one ten,
Speaker 1: you've got a shop port now, I mean I see
Speaker 1: it as high as minus one in some places. Um,
Speaker 1: But I really like this prop a lot. I think
Speaker 1: this is a one score game either way. Maybe it
Speaker 1: doesn't get to a ten point lead, possibly, but the
Speaker 1: difference between thirteen and a half and fourteen and a
Speaker 1: half is so big on this prop. And we got
Speaker 1: the higher one, so I'll take it. I like it.
Speaker 1: Number one. What you got? I wrote down a bunch
Speaker 1: of a couple of I haven't looked through all the
Speaker 1: props yet, but these were a couple nice, so great
Speaker 1: to be consistent the whole senior time? Did the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl sneak up on you? I was busy with Arkansas
Speaker 1: South Carolina on the second half over Sorry, um anyways,
Speaker 1: radio Ah, let me just say to Mike Palm in
Speaker 1: a nice tone, go for yourself, Mike, Now, UM, I
Speaker 1: have four of them written down here. UM, I could
Speaker 1: give you the one that's most correlated to Mike call
Speaker 1: because I kind of go with even though he's an
Speaker 1: actual I think he's right about this. Um it says.
Speaker 1: One of them was will game be tied after zero zero?
Speaker 1: Was pick them um minus one either way one of
Speaker 1: the places I saw it at, and I just think
Speaker 1: like Mike was just saying, this is probably gonna be
Speaker 1: a close game, which would add to more chances for
Speaker 1: it to be tied after zero zero. So that that's
Speaker 1: what I kind of like. Also, the will the game
Speaker 1: be tied after zero zero? So any tie you get
Speaker 1: their three, three, seven, seven to two, six, six, ten, ten,
Speaker 1: any of that cash is at any two? Yeah, but
Speaker 1: they just square circus boards to too after the first quarter? Yes, yes, too,
Speaker 1: because there's never been two safeties in the first quarters,
Speaker 1: so it's possible. Jeff, you and I, You and I
Speaker 1: referenced every prop that we've talked about so far on
Speaker 1: the show today. These are these all came up on
Speaker 1: the show as well. Talked about the one I just said, yes,
Speaker 1: we did, Yes, Okay, glad to know that I wasn't
Speaker 1: out on a limit. Legitimately have a list that is
Speaker 1: too full American printed out pages of potential props to
Speaker 1: be beat Todd. So that's why I don't have time
Speaker 1: to look I didn't have time to look through all
Speaker 1: of them. I'm still been in college basketball. It's amazing
Speaker 1: that Todd never listens to a numbers game, except that
Speaker 1: when he's on that's funny, but he doesn't listen to
Speaker 1: it then either, Mike cracks old segment today, so both
Speaker 1: of you go to hell. He doesn't listen to it
Speaker 1: when he's on the on the set either, He just
Speaker 1: waits to speak. Poorly designed sets, poorly designed set. We're
Speaker 1: just We're just. My number one prop is uh courtesy
Speaker 1: of Bob Stole Dr Bob, who has joined us I
Speaker 1: think on the Prop Show before on this podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry what it's about kie Van Looney is better than
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson. Uh No, this is about the super Bowl
Speaker 1: and it is under Patrick Mahomes thirty three and a
Speaker 1: half rushing yards. And as Bob accurately points out, Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: what we have most recently in our mind is his
Speaker 1: scamper against the Titans to the house at the end
Speaker 1: of the first half. Both against the Titans and the Texans,
Speaker 1: he's playing defenses that play a lot of man coverage. Well,
Speaker 1: the Niners don't do that. They're they're more zone. And
Speaker 1: I'll add on to what Bob has to say that really,
Speaker 1: in the case of the Niners, they closed down on
Speaker 1: offensive players in space quicker than any other team in football.
Speaker 1: Thirty three and a half is a lot of yards.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes in thirty five professional football games as a
Speaker 1: professional quarterback, has gained twenty eight point five yards or
Speaker 1: fewer in twenty eight of those thirty five, four out
Speaker 1: of five, so only of the time has he exceeded
Speaker 1: twenty and a half. If you can find a thirty
Speaker 1: three and a half which is out there in many locations,
Speaker 1: the under is the play on Patrick Mahomes. For me,
Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't think this is the team.
Speaker 1: What's that? I like that? Oh you do? Yeah? I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think this is the team where he goes
Speaker 1: crazy on. Now, can all of these bets be torpedoed
Speaker 1: by one wacky play? Sure? But that's my number one play.
Speaker 1: Jeff number two, this thing. If you watched all his games,
Speaker 1: he doesn't He's not really a big runner. That was
Speaker 1: a weird thing that he did that one game. I agree,
Speaker 1: and people are super influenced by recency, of course, Jeffrey
Speaker 1: number two, I'm going to take the Kansas City Chiefs
Speaker 1: to convert a fourth down. Yes, plus a hundreds, so
Speaker 1: even money on the Chiefs converting a fourth down. Now, look,
Speaker 1: we this is a perfect spot for Andy Reid to
Speaker 1: uh to to pucker up and not h not actually
Speaker 1: be somewhat aggressive with his elite quarterback and settled for
Speaker 1: twenty seven yard field goals on fourth and one. But
Speaker 1: at some point, Gill, in this game, Kansas City is
Speaker 1: gonna have fourth down in two or fourth and three
Speaker 1: at the nine or thirty five yard line, or even
Speaker 1: late in the game, if the Chiefs are trailing, trying
Speaker 1: to get the lead or tie the game late, they're
Speaker 1: gonna have a fourth down opportunity. The Chiefs have been
Speaker 1: a great fourth down team all year long, of course,
Speaker 1: because of number fifteen, So uh and even money shot
Speaker 1: at a Yes, they will convert a fourth down in
Speaker 1: the game. I like that. So I'll take Kansas City
Speaker 1: even money, yes, converting a fourth down, Yes, converting a
Speaker 1: fourth down even money from Jeffrey Mike. I like this
Speaker 1: prop and uh it's been bet bet to the under. Um.
Speaker 1: I checked it this morning because I don't want to
Speaker 1: give out his stale number, but number of forty Niners
Speaker 1: to to have a reception at seven? I like this
Speaker 1: under seven? Now the juice? Who it is? Now? Minus
Speaker 1: one seventy five? It opened one forty at the South Point,
Speaker 1: it opened at Westgate at five and a half, used
Speaker 1: one thirty to the over Where are they gonna come
Speaker 1: up with it? In their last five games, there's only
Speaker 1: been a total of sixty Niners that have a reception total.
Speaker 1: That's combining all of them and uh. In the both
Speaker 1: playoff games there were four and then the three previous
Speaker 1: games six, which is a winner. The two previous games
Speaker 1: to that seven, which would be a push. It takes
Speaker 1: eight to beat you. Uh. In their eighteen games this year,
Speaker 1: they've only had eight or more people to catch it
Speaker 1: a reception twice and both times was against the Arizona Cardinals. Uh.
Speaker 1: So I think there's a lot of value in that here.
Speaker 1: I still think they're gonna try to run the ball
Speaker 1: first against this Kansas City defense and get and get
Speaker 1: wide with their rushing attack, which is actually uh has
Speaker 1: more chunk plays than you would think. I mean, they run,
Speaker 1: but they don't running for three yards. They're running for
Speaker 1: eight to eight to twelve on a lot of these plays.
Speaker 1: So I'll go under seven with a reception under seven reception.
Speaker 1: I don't even remember seeing that one. I like the thinking.
Speaker 1: I like the thinking on that. Jimmy g of course
Speaker 1: would have to throw seven passes. Of course two are
Speaker 1: do you make that happen? Todd? Yeah, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Robbie Gould under seven and a half points plus
Speaker 1: one oh five. And here here's my thinking. If if
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are ahead, it's quite impossible the Niners are
Speaker 1: gonna have to be going for touchdowns. Also, I think
Speaker 1: it's got to be in the back of their head
Speaker 1: that you're not gonna beat the Niners. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs kicking field goals. So I gotta think
Speaker 1: that Mr. Shanahan is going to be thinking fourth and
Speaker 1: three at the seven, let's just go for it. You know,
Speaker 1: we can't afford to get to get three, so under
Speaker 1: seven and a half points for Robbie Gold because if
Speaker 1: they score thirty one, you still win because that would
Speaker 1: be three plus four extra points is seven. So I'm
Speaker 1: thinking if they get thirty one, you win. You know,
Speaker 1: basically that's a number. You don't want them to get
Speaker 1: twenty seven. Of course that would be bad, But thirty
Speaker 1: one is your magic number and below, and I think
Speaker 1: you're in pretty good shape in Robbie goldland a Todd
Speaker 1: Todd at south Point, this numbers eight and a half.
Speaker 1: But then I'll take it min one thirty right now. Okay,
Speaker 1: well then I'll take that one even better. Like with
Speaker 1: so many props, that's a great illustration of correlating your
Speaker 1: game handicap, or the way you feel the game will
Speaker 1: go trajectory wise with a prop bet. So if, for instance,
Speaker 1: Todd had felt that San Francisco was going to run
Speaker 1: away with this game, perhaps he wouldn't feel that way,
Speaker 1: but based on the the sort of game script he
Speaker 1: just described, San Francisco perhaps coming from behind, not necessarily
Speaker 1: kicking field goals. Whatever it is, Um you like the
Speaker 1: under on Robbie Gould, Well, I just got to think
Speaker 1: that that they got to think that they're not gonna
Speaker 1: beat my homes with field goals. You know what I mean. Jeff,
Speaker 1: you were a little opo on that this morning, weren't you.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, don't worry. You know. I'm getting to it
Speaker 1: in my third one coming up. We'll get that porten
Speaker 1: of things to come my number two. Um. I gave
Speaker 1: a shout out to Dr Bob on the first one.
Speaker 1: I'll give a shout out to Rufus Peabody on this one. Um,
Speaker 1: because someone pointed me to his podcast yesterday to to
Speaker 1: listen to a specific thing, and on the way to
Speaker 1: try and to find that specific thing, I heard him
Speaker 1: talking about this prop and I actually love it because,
Speaker 1: like with what Mike was talking about with his I
Speaker 1: love something that's data driven on these and we're talking
Speaker 1: about will there or will there not be an on
Speaker 1: side kick? This is a prop that's not available everywhere,
Speaker 1: but you can find it. It's out there. Um, it's
Speaker 1: holding on. No, it's an on side kick. It was
Speaker 1: a joke because you messed it up earlier. That's right, Okay,
Speaker 1: I got you, so the no right now, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you the price I bet at. The price that I
Speaker 1: got it at was and I don't want to lie.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look it up right now. I got it
Speaker 1: at minus two sixty two on the no now, Rufus
Speaker 1: tells us, and Rufus knows his stuff. There have been
Speaker 1: a grand total of sixty two on side kicks in
Speaker 1: the entire National Football League thus far this year, sixty
Speaker 1: two and now. A lot of the reason for that
Speaker 1: number being so low these days is because the rate
Speaker 1: at which on side kicks are recovered is so much
Speaker 1: lower than it used to be given new rules, so
Speaker 1: people don't even attempt them that much now. The counter
Speaker 1: argument to this would be, hey, it's a tight spread, though,
Speaker 1: and who knows this could come down to an on
Speaker 1: side kick. Well, yes, obviously it could, but they just
Speaker 1: don't happen nearly as often as they as we think
Speaker 1: they do anymore. And we have a lot of situations
Speaker 1: late game where teams still have a full allotment or
Speaker 1: two time outs left, where they have decisions of should
Speaker 1: I kick the on side kick or kick away? And
Speaker 1: more often than not these days they'll kick away because
Speaker 1: of what we just said about the low rate of
Speaker 1: on side kick cooveries. So I played the know at
Speaker 1: minus two sixty two. There's only been sixty two of these.
Speaker 1: Like Jeff said before, one of these bets. I always
Speaker 1: say it on the numbers game, you've got to be
Speaker 1: willing to uh to make bets and willing to lose sometimes.
Speaker 1: So this is one of those one of these bets
Speaker 1: that I'm absolutely happy to tip my cap to if
Speaker 1: I lose on the No. Minus to sixty two on
Speaker 1: the on side kick. Is it an attempted one or
Speaker 1: it's an attempted one? Right, it's an attempted one, correct, Yes,
Speaker 1: if it was a recovered one, you'd have to multiply that.
Speaker 1: That's right, right, right, unless I had unless it was
Speaker 1: in the Bengals Dolphins game and I had Dolphins, in
Speaker 1: which case it would be even money that the Bengals
Speaker 1: would of course give up. Good job. Honestly, when we
Speaker 1: look back on this season, like if we had to
Speaker 1: pick one moment that most characterized not only your betting
Speaker 1: season but maybe just betting the NFL, but certainly your
Speaker 1: NFL betting season, was that Bengals Is that Bengals Dolphins
Speaker 1: game where literally it was one of those games were
Speaker 1: we've all been there, certainly early in our bedding careers.
Speaker 1: Maybe more than than later. But we've all been there
Speaker 1: at some point where you're like, okay, well, in order
Speaker 1: for me to win this game, all I needed for
Speaker 1: them to score right now and then to recover it
Speaker 1: onzie kick and then the score again have a two
Speaker 1: point version, and then to recover another on site kicking
Speaker 1: the score again with a two poker version. And that
Speaker 1: was actually that game Todd lost. Gil. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1: I have the worst on site kick babbit in the
Speaker 1: history of onabit because if you remember, I also lost
Speaker 1: on two onsete kick in college games that got returned
Speaker 1: for touchdowns and in the famous yam Kipper massacre story,
Speaker 1: on site kicks were involved in that as well. Have
Speaker 1: you ever told the Youlme Kipper massacre story on this podcast?
Speaker 1: Next to you think next Kipper, we will tell that story, um,
Speaker 1: but it's been told on the Numbers Game a few times.
Speaker 1: By the way, Todd Is referenced the term babbit twice.
Speaker 1: Now babbit for those who remember, during our baseball podcast,
Speaker 1: Sands were batting average on balls and play, which is
Speaker 1: really a a commentary on a picture's luck or lack thereof.
Speaker 1: In other words, once a ball cracks off the opponent's
Speaker 1: bat the picture no longer has control as to wear
Speaker 1: that ball lands within the field of play. And so generally,
Speaker 1: if a pitcher has a BABBITO say the low two hundreds,
Speaker 1: just like a batting avers, let's say of two fourteen
Speaker 1: as opposed to three fifty three, just to give the
Speaker 1: the opposite extremes. Lead average on babbit is about when
Speaker 1: they have a babbit that's three fifty three, Let's say
Speaker 1: that's a really unfortunate, unlucky babbit. And so what Todd
Speaker 1: was referring to with not with Kirk Cousins. You were
Speaker 1: referring to it with Jimmy g where he like throws
Speaker 1: the ball right in the chest of defenders and they
Speaker 1: happened to drop it. That was his football equivalent to that.
Speaker 1: And then when you just used it here, you're referring
Speaker 1: to the fact that while mirror mortals typically don't recover
Speaker 1: on side kicks, they always seem to go against you. Well, no,
Speaker 1: let's put it. Let's put it realistically. You can go
Speaker 1: a whole life betting and ever have an on site's
Speaker 1: kick returned against you and never have a Cincinnati Bengal situation.
Speaker 1: But I had three in one season, So you tell
Speaker 1: me what my babbit is on that boat? Well, nope, Todd,
Speaker 1: what would you tell everybody? What's at play here? Who
Speaker 1: hates you? Hashem? It's all about Hashem. I was gonna
Speaker 1: bring up Ashem, but you know, you know, you know
Speaker 1: he doesn't deserve any any publicity in the megapod at all.
Speaker 1: I've already given him too much public Did you explain
Speaker 1: to the people what Hashem means? Todd? They can look
Speaker 1: it up. They can look it up. It's just like
Speaker 1: a gil It's just like a numbers game. He wants
Speaker 1: the listeners to look everything. HiT's right. DoD comes on
Speaker 1: a numbers game and just says, hey, I wonder if
Speaker 1: h I wanted to get listeners to do all them
Speaker 1: trying to help the common good. Mike, I know, as
Speaker 1: an owner of a casino, you're against the common good,
Speaker 1: but I take the common good. What casino do I own?
Speaker 1: I'm sorry own is the wrong word, uh? Or a
Speaker 1: high level I e with casino interests, which as we know,
Speaker 1: are not again they are against the public good. Thank you.
Speaker 1: This has been public service announcement for people for the
Speaker 1: ethical treatment of the generates. You sound just like Alan
Speaker 1: Dershowitz at the impeachment hearings of Donald J. Trump to
Speaker 1: if you mean I was making no sense, I agree
Speaker 1: with you. Oh, don't get political debate. Couldn't help himself, alight,
Speaker 1: Jeff Todd. I want to know what todd Field's Grand
Speaker 1: Valley States should do with offensive coordinator Morris Burger, Oh,
Speaker 1: who said that he'd like to have dinner with Hitler
Speaker 1: because he was such a great leader, the way he
Speaker 1: rallied people around him. He wants to know how he
Speaker 1: did that. He's currently suspended and there's a lot of
Speaker 1: controversy on his future. Todd, do you have thoughts? Well,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let Gil handle this one. Um. He's more
Speaker 1: up on his Hitler defensive coordinators to sticks. Um. As
Speaker 1: far as I know, Hitler never shut any offense down.
Speaker 1: He was all offense, no defense. So I'm not really
Speaker 1: sure whether i'd have Hitler in the defensive coordinator room.
Speaker 1: He seems more like an offensive coordinator I would. I
Speaker 1: would say the following that the person in question wiped
Speaker 1: out an entire generation of my family, and like so
Speaker 1: many of my fellow tribesmen, that's the case, and so
Speaker 1: I would just say too soon for the defensive coordinator. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know, of course everybody gets mad at me
Speaker 1: for a joking around about it obviously, you know, saying
Speaker 1: things about Hitler in the But I mean, do we
Speaker 1: even have to discuss how ridiculous that is? We don't.
Speaker 1: We obviously don't. Any human being that would say something
Speaker 1: like that obviously has about eight hundred screws loose. So
Speaker 1: and that's probably why they're at Grand Valley State, Oh
Speaker 1: State shot at Grand Valley State before finish that nice time, Jeff,
Speaker 1: you're we're gonna go feedback on this, Jeff, Jeff number
Speaker 1: three Super Bowl fifty four game prop. That is well,
Speaker 1: because I like needling Todd, and I like us every
Speaker 1: once in a while going against Todd because he'll claim
Speaker 1: that I saved him, he saved me from endless losers,
Speaker 1: when that's only partially true. Um, the uh, I'm going
Speaker 1: with Robbie Gold, pick him to have more points than Harrison,
Speaker 1: Butker even money on Gold. This we we could both lose,
Speaker 1: we could both win, Jeff, Yes, we absolutely absolutely can.
Speaker 1: And here's the deal, Todd, here's a good deal, guys,
Speaker 1: uh to me in this game. Kansas City scores touchdown.
Speaker 1: San Francisco kicks field goals. That's what the big difference is.
Speaker 1: And in at I'm no mathematician, but the way that
Speaker 1: I would get there would be four Kansas City touchdowns
Speaker 1: in one field goal. There would be seven points for
Speaker 1: Butker and twenty seven for San Francisco. And get there
Speaker 1: with three touchdowns and two field goals. So that would
Speaker 1: mean Robbie Gold has three more points in the in
Speaker 1: then Harrison Butker. So I look, I I I also
Speaker 1: I also trust the Gold Jo Todd, it would be yes,
Speaker 1: You're right, it would be too more correct. Todd's correct,
Speaker 1: it would be seven. Again, no mathematician over here, but
Speaker 1: but I will say this though too, I trust Robbie
Speaker 1: Gold to make kicks more than Harrison Butker in this spot.
Speaker 1: Gold's never missed in his career in the postseason. It's
Speaker 1: a big spot for Butler, who has been phenomenal is
Speaker 1: the Chiefs Chiefs kicker, but it is the biggest stage
Speaker 1: he will have ever kicked on. So I'll take the
Speaker 1: more reliable veteran kickers never missed in the postseason to
Speaker 1: score more points. And I'm getting even money on it.
Speaker 1: All right, I like it. You two should fight about
Speaker 1: that one. Mike Palm, Well, I'm going to take a
Speaker 1: very long shot here, Jo and I took it last
Speaker 1: year with the same kind of scenario at an m
Speaker 1: v P at a hundred to one. I took Zeroline
Speaker 1: last year at a hundred to one, and believe me,
Speaker 1: that was live into the fourth quarter. Uh, that type
Speaker 1: of a game. But it goes to a little bit
Speaker 1: what Jeff said about field goals, and I think Robbie
Speaker 1: Gold has just been excellent reviving his career this year
Speaker 1: in San Francisco. I'm gonna take Robbie Gold at a
Speaker 1: hundred to one for m v P. Uh and and
Speaker 1: that probably would break todd bet. But uh, what if
Speaker 1: Robbie Gold kicks sport field goals two of them are
Speaker 1: fifty yards, they win the game by one or two.
Speaker 1: Garoppolo stats are not shiny because they run the ball
Speaker 1: a lot. Monstard runs for one ten or something. Nobody
Speaker 1: really stands out. And you have a kicker that wins
Speaker 1: the game and has made several fear I think it's
Speaker 1: worth it, you know, for fifty bucks at a hundred
Speaker 1: to one to take a little shot there as a
Speaker 1: kicker ever won an m v P in any game
Speaker 1: in the history of all football sports at any level. Yes,
Speaker 1: super Bowl five, Jim O'Brien, Baltimore Colts. Okay, so there's president.
Speaker 1: Yes one, and it happened one in every three times.
Speaker 1: And Mark Moseley and Mark Moseley. Mark Moseley was the
Speaker 1: National Football League m v P and nine two, I'll
Speaker 1: have you know. But he didn't deserve that. And that's
Speaker 1: still it was ridiculous that that straight on kicking style.
Speaker 1: Come on, Mark, how are you going to say he
Speaker 1: didn't deserve it? You dare right he deserved it. First
Speaker 1: of all, he was the most ugly looking kicker I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. That straight on kicking style was just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: You're trying to say that Mark Mosley didn't present, well
Speaker 1: didn't he didn't? Well, that's exactly right. My god. That
Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen is the light of the show, whether
Speaker 1: you know it or not. By the way, do you
Speaker 1: guys remember who else used to kick straight on like
Speaker 1: Mark Moseley? Everybody did back in the day, most of
Speaker 1: them did. Well. I can just remember the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 1: kicker Don Cockross. Yea, he used to kick straight But
Speaker 1: I can't remember too many more. You remember more aside
Speaker 1: from Dempsey who kicked but he didn't have a foot,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about guys with actual feet, didn't like George
Speaker 1: Bland the kick straight on like guys like that. They
Speaker 1: all did back. And I'm talking about in our era
Speaker 1: once we started watching football, was there was there many
Speaker 1: people who have kicked straight on? Almost none? Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: until we were like until Mosley retired, like when we
Speaker 1: were kids. There was a bunch about my thought. Maybe
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, I'm trying to think of just because I can't,
Speaker 1: Just because I can't name him doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't see you. I didn't say,
Speaker 1: but Mosley was the last one. Mosley was the last
Speaker 1: one anyway, so there has been Mike. Mike could have
Speaker 1: been you know, skipped, Mark Moseley could have skipped a
Speaker 1: couple of dinners. Tom Dempsey clubbed it straight on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly what I said, Tom Dempsey. But he was really
Speaker 1: before our time. I'm talking about in the eighties. Once
Speaker 1: we got to the eighties, I can't remember anybody besides
Speaker 1: Don Cockroft and uh and Mark Moseley. By mid eighties,
Speaker 1: they were all gone. Yeah, that's for sure, alright, and
Speaker 1: no longer have guys with who kicked with no shoes.
Speaker 1: That was another thing they had Tony Franklin and Rich Carlin. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what the hell were they? Why is that? How come
Speaker 1: there's nobody who kicks without shoes anymore? Well, we were
Speaker 1: talking about that with left handed quarterbacks, like Toua Tagovailoa
Speaker 1: is like the return of the left handed quarterback? What
Speaker 1: happened all the left handed quarterbacks? Was? That? Was that
Speaker 1: trivia question I asked on the air, Jeff, because I
Speaker 1: was so fascinated by this. Who was the last left
Speaker 1: handed quarterback to throw a touchdown pass in the NFL?
Speaker 1: What was the answer? Do you remember? It's like Kelly,
Speaker 1: It's like Kellen Moore or somebody like that, Like it's
Speaker 1: been ages, and so that was another thing that like
Speaker 1: why did that disappear? So too is kind of like
Speaker 1: this strange throwback in that regard. Alright, Todd were on. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, I have a heart out here right now
Speaker 1: for a meating. Okay, Mike, we bid you at you
Speaker 1: would you like to give your final reflection on the
Speaker 1: first year of the Megapod on your way out the door.
Speaker 1: I will UM. I'd just like to say that I
Speaker 1: didn't know what I was getting into when when you asked, Gil,
Speaker 1: I just knew it was you and Todd and and
Speaker 1: a collection of guests. UM. But UH, looking back on it,
Speaker 1: it was a great decision to join UM and mainly
Speaker 1: because of because of the guests that did come on.
Speaker 1: I mean we had, we had some outstanding guests, and
Speaker 1: you learned something different from each one. I I recalled
Speaker 1: the great uh conversation on halftime versus in game wagering
Speaker 1: with rufus Uh, the show with Ed Fing. Of course,
Speaker 1: having the founder and president of the Megapod Todd fan
Speaker 1: called Michael Lombardi on several times was great and and
Speaker 1: who could ever forget the show where Todd abused Dr Bob.
Speaker 1: So I want to sever I would like to thank Gil.
Speaker 1: I'd like to thank pod record please, and most importantly
Speaker 1: the listeners. Thank you and enjoy the Super Bowl. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Mike Palm. Mike Palm always heartfelt. Say what you will
Speaker 1: about Mike Palm. Say what you will, and I know
Speaker 1: they will, but that guy is heartfelt and I appreciate
Speaker 1: that about Mike Palm. Thank you Mikey, all right, take
Speaker 1: care for I was my palm ladies and gentlemen on
Speaker 1: his way to a meeting. He's got a thing, Todd
Speaker 1: your final game related prop. Well, i'm m I'm kind
Speaker 1: of torn between two of them that I wrote down.
Speaker 1: So can I just give them both real quick? Yes? Okay,
Speaker 1: So I took great under receptions a half a reception.
Speaker 1: I can't remember bred At getting the ball thrown to him,
Speaker 1: in fact, Matt Breda. Yeah, I'm sorry, Go ahead, what
Speaker 1: do you say? I said? What about Brita though? Go ahead,
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, all right. Oh, so Matt Breda, I just
Speaker 1: don't remember him catching a lot of balls. I mean
Speaker 1: I didn't go back and do all the stats on
Speaker 1: how many balls he's caught. But they're not throwing the
Speaker 1: ball anyways. They don't trust him to be in the
Speaker 1: lineup anymore. After all the fumbles, so, right, which is
Speaker 1: another good thing, because it can't throw to him he's
Speaker 1: on the sideline, right. No, that's right. I mean your
Speaker 1: your play there is that he just doesn't get in enough.
Speaker 1: You know, if he's probably not gonna get in, the
Speaker 1: Coleman is going to be in and and uh there's
Speaker 1: another running back that gets a lot of touch is
Speaker 1: But the point is right most That's what God, I
Speaker 1: can't remember all the goddamn names. There's too many names. Okay,
Speaker 1: The point is Mostard. I was thinking of Mostarred Mostard
Speaker 1: and Coleman is who we've been seeing lately. We haven't
Speaker 1: really been seeing Brita lately. And then even when we
Speaker 1: did see Brita, you don't remember him really catching the
Speaker 1: ball too often, and you don't even remember Coleman or
Speaker 1: most are getting too many passes thrown to them either.
Speaker 1: So you know, I just don't know how they're going
Speaker 1: to get you know, more than one catch to Barrita.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go. We were talking, we were talking
Speaker 1: you're going under on the half? There were we were talking,
Speaker 1: Jeff and I on Numbers Game today about these props
Speaker 1: like that of Mostard or Coleman or Brita, and really
Speaker 1: there's so many variables you touched on him. Will Coleman
Speaker 1: play It appears like he will, how much he'll play?
Speaker 1: Who knows? Will brit to get in? I don't think so.
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan doesn't seem to trust him as far as
Speaker 1: Moster is concerned. It's like the Jimmy Garoppolo of thing
Speaker 1: we said earlier, are you gonna get the Jimmy Garoppolo
Speaker 1: who didn't throw passes in the playoffs or the guy
Speaker 1: who really was leading the way all season for them
Speaker 1: during the regular season. With mostre it's the same thing,
Speaker 1: like are you getting the kid that was undrafted out
Speaker 1: of Purdue that was kind of like a you know,
Speaker 1: complimentary player, or you're getting this kid who's John Riggins
Speaker 1: in the playoffs? Like which guy are you gonna get?
Speaker 1: And I don't know that even Kyle Shanahan knows quite yet,
Speaker 1: right Like much of that will be determined by how
Speaker 1: the game goes. So because of that, it makes all
Speaker 1: those specific props very dicey. I would say, what was
Speaker 1: the other one? Ton? The other one was the obvious
Speaker 1: one that I was talking about before, which was will
Speaker 1: Jimmy g throw an interception? And I said yes at
Speaker 1: minus one forty. I just think that we talked about
Speaker 1: his interception, babit and all that stuff, especially if he
Speaker 1: has to throw the ball a lot this game. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're gonna get away with the old just
Speaker 1: running eight hundred million times game plan against Kansas City
Speaker 1: like they did the last couple of weeks. I think
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to throw the ball, and especially if
Speaker 1: they're behind in this game, Jimmy might try to force
Speaker 1: some stuff. And we know his San Francisco receivers sometimes
Speaker 1: have butter fingers and the balls can tip in the air.
Speaker 1: There's you know, I just think minus one Ford is
Speaker 1: a good chance you could throw a pick um. You know.
Speaker 1: Also generally speaking, by the way, Garoppolo through a lot
Speaker 1: of picks early in the season. He was much more
Speaker 1: reliable throwing a pick early, So there certainly was a
Speaker 1: stretch of the year where that was almost a sure thing.
Speaker 1: We were saying on the show this morning, if you
Speaker 1: are a better that wants to bet the unders on
Speaker 1: a lot of these props, let's just say there's a
Speaker 1: lot of the yard and stuff, whether it's most of
Speaker 1: for the Niners, whether it's mahomes, let's say for the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: So you are an under better, you're better off waiting
Speaker 1: because the public loves to bet overs. Their wired brains
Speaker 1: are wired for optimism, and so these these numbers will
Speaker 1: probably go higher more likely than they will go lower.
Speaker 1: So if you want unders, you might as well. Wait
Speaker 1: on a lot of these that's generally the Super Bowl trajectory. Though.
Speaker 1: Crackman was on the show this morning and he was like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, with the San Francisco numbers,
Speaker 1: maybe so because there's a lot of San Francisco, you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of California. People may come into Vegas, So
Speaker 1: if you're betting them in Vegas, that might be the case,
Speaker 1: but it's not necessarily the case in New Jersey, which
Speaker 1: is an interesting thing to think about. So because there's
Speaker 1: regional things to consider as well, which I thought was
Speaker 1: an interesting point, which brings that's not going to affect
Speaker 1: is it? No? Breeda's Breeda to me is is he
Speaker 1: plann or is he not? And I don't think he's
Speaker 1: gonna play much, so you may just win. I mean,
Speaker 1: your bet is that Kyle Shanahan just doesn't trust him.
Speaker 1: That's pretty much your bet. I would say, Breed. Breed
Speaker 1: is so damn fast though, Man, that dude is awesome.
Speaker 1: I just can't hold onto the ball all right. Then, finally, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: this is sort of the the category that we've come
Speaker 1: to uh be known for on this podcast through the years.
Speaker 1: For many years, I got the Halftimes right year after year.
Speaker 1: I got tripped up by cold Play the year that
Speaker 1: they were in I picked the wrong song. My thoughts
Speaker 1: are on the national anthem, but Jeff will start with you.
Speaker 1: What do you like here in terms of exotic prop
Speaker 1: or props? You know, Gil, I'm not really a huge,
Speaker 1: huge fan of any of this, but I think I'm
Speaker 1: going to ride the ride the steam in the Gatorade
Speaker 1: bath of course. Of course, Uh, the the the the
Speaker 1: purple has been bent like crazy since the tragic tragic
Speaker 1: death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter and the seven others
Speaker 1: on that helicopter in Calabasas on Sunday, and Gil, I
Speaker 1: I think it has a lot of legs to it. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: so I will there's still plus one twenty out there
Speaker 1: on purple Gatorade being the shower. Uh. There I also
Speaker 1: see also see and Crack said this this morning on
Speaker 1: a Numbers game that there were there was no Gatoray
Speaker 1: bath bath on either side in either the a f
Speaker 1: C or NFC Championship games. So I would be shocked,
Speaker 1: if I wouldn't be shocked if there if there would
Speaker 1: be a no option that there is none that was
Speaker 1: nine to one at Draft Kings in New Jersey. So
Speaker 1: I think those are probably the two that I would
Speaker 1: take flyers on. And in places that there's no no,
Speaker 1: there's no no, then what do they do? How do
Speaker 1: they grade that if there's no bath Gil It's an
Speaker 1: excellent question. You always have to read the fine print
Speaker 1: of these props, depending on the shop you're betting at.
Speaker 1: Do they say they will refund it? Do they not
Speaker 1: say that? I always have to be careful with this stuff.
Speaker 1: You should check the fine print on all these props
Speaker 1: because a lot of these come down to the bookmaker
Speaker 1: deciding how to grade them. And those are the controversies
Speaker 1: you want to avoid. The purple though being the theory.
Speaker 1: Just to clarify what Jeff was saying as a tribute
Speaker 1: to Kobe Bryant, the Lakers purple from their purple and gold. Uh.
Speaker 1: And I never got a chance to talk about this
Speaker 1: on this show, but obviously have on the radio show
Speaker 1: for the whole week. I am gutted by the Kobe
Speaker 1: Bryant passing. I I would never have I'm older than Kobe,
Speaker 1: so I was not of the generation that were Kopy fanboys.
Speaker 1: I was the Michael Jordan's generation, and I wouldn't have expected,
Speaker 1: like I talked about the Michael Jackson thing earlier, if
Speaker 1: he's to be the hard rock Like if you had
Speaker 1: told me Michael Jackson's gonna die, You're gonna how do
Speaker 1: you think you'll feel? And I'd be like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I would be devastated, Like if you had told me
Speaker 1: about Kobe, and it's a morbid thing to think about,
Speaker 1: But I don't know that I would have processed how
Speaker 1: affected I would have been. It just turns out that
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, even though I wasn't like a Kobe fanboy,
Speaker 1: I loved Kobe Bryant in ways that I probably didn't
Speaker 1: even acknowledge. And we've talked about it with so many
Speaker 1: guests through the through the week. Why is that? Why
Speaker 1: is it that someone who doesn't know him personally certainly
Speaker 1: appreciated his basketball accolades. Uh, He's gonna be inducted into
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. He was a Laker for twenty years,
Speaker 1: eighteen years and All Star five rings, two NBA Finals,
Speaker 1: MVPs one League m v P two, Olympic gold medals,
Speaker 1: fourth leading score of all time. Even after Lebron passes
Speaker 1: him on and on and on and on. But what
Speaker 1: was it besides the other worldly talent? Why do people
Speaker 1: like me or a generation that really didn't even grow
Speaker 1: up watching Kobe, that was older watching him, Why do
Speaker 1: we love him so much? And I think it's the relatability.
Speaker 1: I think it's the fact that he seemed to be
Speaker 1: a super good guy and and relatable work ethic was
Speaker 1: just off the charts. He was a great father, relished
Speaker 1: in being a father of four girls. He seemed, unlike Jordan,
Speaker 1: for instance, to be a nice guy who wasn't a
Speaker 1: dick Jordan. There's endless stories about Jordan being a dick
Speaker 1: in public, and Kobe wasn't that guy. And so I
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of relatable things. And someone said this,
Speaker 1: and I cannot remember who said this, And I think
Speaker 1: this more than anything, because I think the best tribute
Speaker 1: was given by l Duncan at ESPN talking about Girl
Speaker 1: Dad and her story with Kobe Bryant if you haven't
Speaker 1: seen that looking up on YouTube, and his heart wrenching.
Speaker 1: But the last thing I would say is that I
Speaker 1: really wish I remember who said this. It's hard to
Speaker 1: imagine anyone who wasted less time in their life than
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant did in his forty one years, because you
Speaker 1: think about all he packed into it, what he did
Speaker 1: after his career, create a lee, won him an oscar. Anyway,
Speaker 1: that's my tribute to Kobe Bryant, who I even when
Speaker 1: I see it on the TV screen this many days later,
Speaker 1: I find it hard to process. I cannot believe that
Speaker 1: he's no longer with us. And as Jeff said, his
Speaker 1: beautiful daughter, thirteen year old Gianna and seven others who
Speaker 1: died in that helicopter. I was looking at the flight
Speaker 1: pattern yesterday and just how they were. They veered out
Speaker 1: of the normal route. It was just just awful, just awful. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to like stray that, but since we're
Speaker 1: talking about the Gatorade and the purple, I thought i'd
Speaker 1: say that, Todd, what is yours of any of these?
Speaker 1: Do you have any of these? I have a cross
Speaker 1: sport that I like and it's and it's this one,
Speaker 1: uh St John's. You get plus three and a half points,
Speaker 1: so you get the Saint John's score plus you get
Speaker 1: to add three and a half will be longer than
Speaker 1: the longest t D drive in the game. So, for example,
Speaker 1: if St. John's get seventy six, you get seventy nine
Speaker 1: and a half. As long as no one has a
Speaker 1: touchdown drive longer than seventy nine and a half yard,
Speaker 1: you win. So I'm taking St. John's plus three and
Speaker 1: a half to be longer higher score than the longest
Speaker 1: touched on drive. And here's why St. John's is an
Speaker 1: up tempo team. They're playing Georgetown, another crazy running team
Speaker 1: that just loves the run and gun. The first game
Speaker 1: Georgetown one eight seven sixty six. Note there were seventy
Speaker 1: six possessions at the game, and Georgetown, even when they
Speaker 1: were up fifteen, was running because they're not smart enough
Speaker 1: to realize that they might want to take some time
Speaker 1: off the clock. So they play one style and one
Speaker 1: style only as long as they're not playing a team
Speaker 1: like Butler, who will intentionally down. They play fast, fast, fast.
Speaker 1: Seventy six possessions in a college basketball game is a
Speaker 1: lot of possessions. St John's is at home. There's no
Speaker 1: reason why they couldn't get to eighty in this game.
Speaker 1: But even if they get the seventy five in this game,
Speaker 1: you're getting seventy eight and a half for your score,
Speaker 1: and now somebody in the Super Bowl has to get
Speaker 1: a longer than seventy eight and a half yard drive,
Speaker 1: which is not the easiest thing to do. I looked
Speaker 1: over some of the drives in the playoffs, and you know,
Speaker 1: there were a couple ninety yard drives. But you know,
Speaker 1: these teams are slightly better defenses. Certainly the Niners are
Speaker 1: a better defense. So um, you know, let's hope that St.
Speaker 1: John's gets nineties seven points in their game against Georgetown,
Speaker 1: and it's impossible for me to lose. All right, I
Speaker 1: like it, well done, Todd. My two in conclusion are
Speaker 1: national anthem props. These are available at Bovada and some
Speaker 1: other off shore spots. I think New Jersey has some
Speaker 1: of these national anthem props up as well. Will Demi
Speaker 1: Lovado's microphone be on a microphone stand singing the national anthem?
Speaker 1: But yes is at minus one sixty? Then know at
Speaker 1: plus one twenty take the yes, she's not singing in
Speaker 1: the national anthem holding a mic. It will be on
Speaker 1: a microphone stand. Let's not be stupid. Does she usually
Speaker 1: do when she sings the national anthem? It's on a stand?
Speaker 1: And I'm glad and I'm glad you asked young Todd,
Speaker 1: because there have been five instances of young Demilovado having
Speaker 1: sung in national anthem on a big stage like this.
Speaker 1: First four times was at a Thanksgiving game in the
Speaker 1: NFL in two thousand eight, Game five of the World Series,
Speaker 1: the game before the amazing David Freeze Cardinals Rangers game
Speaker 1: Game four of the World Series in twelve San Francisco
Speaker 1: Giants baby UH, and then gave and then Game four
Speaker 1: of the World Series in UH, with the Royals winning
Speaker 1: that particular year. But every time she sang it those
Speaker 1: four years, she sang it well over, well under, pardon me,
Speaker 1: well under two minutes, not well under, but under two
Speaker 1: minutes every time. But the fifth and final time she
Speaker 1: sang it on a big stage was at the Connor
Speaker 1: McGregor Floyd Mayweather fight in twenty seventeen, and I was
Speaker 1: telling Jeff this morning and the audience. I don't remember
Speaker 1: her singing this because at that point I was coming
Speaker 1: to terms with how much money I had been on
Speaker 1: this fight, So like I have no I have no
Speaker 1: recollection of her. I was nervous eating. But we played
Speaker 1: it this morning on a numbers game and it went
Speaker 1: about what would you say two oh nine, Jeff, Is
Speaker 1: that what we settled on? Yeah, it was. It was
Speaker 1: between two oh nine and two eleven, so it was
Speaker 1: well over and basically anything you're gonna be finding in
Speaker 1: the market. So her recency is long. She sang the
Speaker 1: hell out of that song, the hell out of it,
Speaker 1: and she milked the end and she braved, like on Brave,
Speaker 1: she let that go for a good distance. I don't
Speaker 1: think there's any way that Demilovado, having come off personal issues,
Speaker 1: having made her triumphant return on the Grammys this past week,
Speaker 1: and she like she had an emotional start to that
Speaker 1: song that she sang on the Grammys, you had to restart.
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any way she's gonna get on
Speaker 1: a super Bowl stage the first time ever for her
Speaker 1: and just kind of run through it as quickly as possible.
Speaker 1: I think is a big moment in her life. She
Speaker 1: is going to take all the time she needs. Maybe
Speaker 1: not Alicia Keys two minutes and seventeen seconds long, but
Speaker 1: it's gonna be long. Over two oh four, over two
Speaker 1: oh four, Demi Levado national Anthem book it And here's
Speaker 1: another factor, um, I like Demi Lovato have an eating disorder,
Speaker 1: and people who have eating disorders who go to Super
Speaker 1: Bowl parties are faced with tons and tons of food choices.
Speaker 1: It gives them lots of anxiety. If she's going to
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl party, she's probably gonna have some anxiety.
Speaker 1: It probably will slow her down. On the national anthem
Speaker 1: minus one thirty on the over two oh four available
Speaker 1: in multiple locations. Todd, thank you for the first year
Speaker 1: of the megapod. I appreciate it. Man. We've enjoyed having you.
Speaker 1: Even though you're singing is god awful. I don't even
Speaker 1: know what to say about that. But I was just
Speaker 1: hoping Casey and the Sunshine Band would be the one
Speaker 1: to get to sing the national anthem because that would
Speaker 1: be you know, most fitting, would it not. Why don't
Speaker 1: they ever ask Casey? He's only a thousand years old.
Speaker 1: Why don't they ask him? I want I want him
Speaker 1: to bring back the entire band and they all wear
Speaker 1: those tuxedos with no shirts and the whole It would
Speaker 1: be so amazing in Miami. You know, Miami's there town too.
Speaker 1: It would be really appropriate. Oh that's right, because remember
Speaker 1: they were featured in the movie Blow. Remember when when
Speaker 1: they're all doing the cocaine at that party. And and
Speaker 1: in the background, Casey and Sunshine, that song keep It
Speaker 1: Coming Love is in the background, and you remember that. Uh, No,
Speaker 1: I don't, but I will take your word for it. Yes,
Speaker 1: there you go, perfect example. Blow was all about Miami cocaine,
Speaker 1: right that much, I understand? Uh. And Jeff Parlay ladies
Speaker 1: and gentleman, who was not a regular every week on
Speaker 1: this show, but had to fill in multiple times besides
Speaker 1: the times that he was actually invited to be the guest.
Speaker 1: What were you on like five or six of these
Speaker 1: this year, Jeff, I was on a lot, and I
Speaker 1: only got yelled at by one person the entire time,
Speaker 1: And then ended up being my greatest victory on the megapod,
Speaker 1: which was, of course the Baltimore Ravens h trapping themselves
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Titans in the divisional round. So who yelled?
Speaker 1: Who yelled? Oh? Oh? One of one of the great
Speaker 1: one of our great Twitter followers called said, said, Mike,
Speaker 1: take that there. It's hard that the Ravens are going
Speaker 1: to have a colonker, because it's hard that had fourteen
Speaker 1: straight flawless games, said it was the worst handicapping of
Speaker 1: all time, and then when I called him out about
Speaker 1: it that to the result, It's like I didn't say
Speaker 1: it was the worst one. It was. It was a
Speaker 1: lot of fun Twitter but but but Gil, I really
Speaker 1: appreciated and Uh and everyone who listens to this uh
Speaker 1: wonderful podcast every week. I have a feeling that you'll
Speaker 1: be hearing a little bit more of me come next
Speaker 1: year as well, Gil, So it'll be it'll be real good.
Speaker 1: I look forward to that. Jeff Parlay Todd Wishnet for
Speaker 1: Mike Palm who had to scat earlier. Thank you everybody
