<v Speaker 1>of course the piro of many, and then we have

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 1>the coin represented by or the penny here David Gascon

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>affectionately known on Social pro effectually known on social media

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>is David Gagon and bro verk Satti there and so

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>since we only have two games, gast and I had

0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 1>a brilliant idea here to look at some of the

0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 1>other gambling news I've prop bets, you know, kill some

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.400
<v Speaker 1>more time. Why not before we actually get to handicapping

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.320
<v Speaker 1>the championship games this weekend. Exotics says they would call it.

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>You feel good about that? Uh? Well, I know that

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>some prop bets are money making opportunities. Others are a

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>sucker's place. You have to pick and shoes. You have

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 1>to be selective on what you do. But before we

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>get to those, even did you see the sports books

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>in New Jersey? The numbers came out this week that

0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>the books in Jersey one almost three hundred million dollars

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>in twenty nineteen. They're doing the accounting. The bean counters

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 1>are taking over and they they really are the penny

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 1>that is that is amazing. Now is that just NFL

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>action or is that including college football as well? That

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 1>includes everything. That's the entire handle for the sports books

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and the amazing. I was talking to some in Vegas

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>that I noticed in the gambling business, and they were

0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>telling me that it's you know, it's not even close

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>that even though everyone and I grew up with Vegas

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.280
<v Speaker 1>being the gambling mecca of the world, because there's so

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>many more people that are close right there in the

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.359
<v Speaker 1>New York, New Jersey metropolitan area, the Tri state area

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>also with Connecticut over there and whatnot, and and uh,

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>they will be the biggest gambling state, you know, until

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:27.079
<v Speaker 1>New York adds sports gambling, which with their politicians, god

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 1>knows when that's gonna be. But New Jersey, Uh, there

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>was four point five billion uh that was bet in

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>in last season. Most of it was on football is

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>almost almost a billion dollars on football. Basketball was actually

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, just a little bit behind that, and

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>then baseball was further down by like a couple hundred million, uh.

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of people bet parlays, a lot of

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>like the they've noticed here that people love because like

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>playing a lottery ticket, but you have to get all

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.360
<v Speaker 1>three ride or you know, two or three or whatever

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>it is. But yeah, it's unfortunate too because and I

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:04.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know how you feel about this, and correct me

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>if I'm wrong, but I think we were now in

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>the date that the day and age we're gambling is

0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>much like dating. It's all online, and there's a novelty

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>that going out and meeting a woman grabbing a drink,

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, engaging and then obviously asking her out. Like

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>there's something to me that's great about when you drive

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>to Vegas and you know this, like making the commute

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>to Vegas and then you see those towering lights from

0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 1>the lux Or and you're like, I'm almost in Sin City, baby,

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>And then it's an opportunity to gamble a little bit.

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>You get your cops, you get some meals, you get

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>some drinks, and lay down some cash but everything now

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>is just so automated digitally that you just you forget

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 1>what you're doing and you just let things rip at

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>any given time. I don't know you feel about it,

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>but that's how I feel now with gambling these days.

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Oh so you don't do online dating? Is that you

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>don't do that either? No, you don't know. Don't you know?

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It's just for me personally. You feel

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.080
<v Speaker 1>like you you laid you out your particulars. It's like

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 1>a menu I don't want to have. I love the research, right,

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 1>It's like exactly what we do in this profession. It's

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>the research. It's it's getting to know somebody. It's getting

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>to find out who they're about, what they do, all

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>those things, and and having it right before your fingertips

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>just by you know, putting you know a location that

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you have in any particulars like race, religion, hair color,

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff I'm not down for. I love I

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 1>love it. I love going to Vegas for the sheer

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>purpose to throw down some coin. Of course, I'm I'm

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.159
<v Speaker 1>big into crabs in blackjack. But of course, when you

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.160
<v Speaker 1>when you look at the sports side of things, going

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.720
<v Speaker 1>to the Venetian and going to Lagasse Stadium and they

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>give you they give you comps, they give you drink tickets,

0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.320
<v Speaker 1>they give you other comps. Yeah. Yeah, because you know

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna lose your money. I mean, I I go.

0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I love Vegas too, I mean I go all the time.

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>But I you know what you are. You're like a

0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 1>horse and buggy guy. You're the guy when the automobile

0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>came around. So you know what, I don't need to

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm an old school guy. I like to smell the

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 1>feces of the horse's ass when I'm riding on the horse.

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:08.159
<v Speaker 1>I like to enjoy that. Uh, you're that guy. You're

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.479
<v Speaker 1>the horse and buggy guest. Gun. You're the guy when

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the microwave came out and said no, I'd rather spend

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:16.160
<v Speaker 1>more time staring at the stove. You're that guy. You're

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you are today's modern day version of a tesla. Right.

0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to drive. You want some automated vehicle

0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.120
<v Speaker 1>to maneuver and put you around to wherever you're at,

0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:28.720
<v Speaker 1>whether it's in Malibu or a Thousand Oaks, or or Calabasas.

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>And me, I prefer to cruise of my sixty nine

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Mustang and kind of get toward you to be at

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 1>my own pace. I appreciate that there's something refined about

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>what I do and gambling, and if you know, you'd

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>find you're I like that you you managed to pat

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>yourself on the back when because you know I won't

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.920
<v Speaker 1>and nobody else will, only you will do all right.

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.720
<v Speaker 1>So let's get to some of these prop bets. Dumb, dumb, Okay,

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>you can reminisce about the glory days. Go down memory lane,

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>the good old days when when the Mob ruled Vegas.

0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>That did a good job. In when the Mob controlled Vegas.

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>You had so many more freebees. Everything was cheaper, you can,

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 1>you got free parking. We gotta get the mob back

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>into control of Vegas. That's what we got. Maybe the

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Mexican drug cartels can take over Vegas and everything will

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>be free. You've got rooms comped, you got food comp do,

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>you got nights outcom for alcohol and dining, the whole

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.479
<v Speaker 1>smash and now and now you're gonna spend hours and

0:06:22.600 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>hours and hours in there, and you have a camera

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>above you that rates you on your plates. Bullshit. Be

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 1>weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio and the I Heart Radio app. No I listen,

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I I agree with you. And plus, you know you

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.599
<v Speaker 1>have to have that little card, the players Club card

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 1>that keeps track of everything. The police state has to

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>keep track. And you know, I have friends that work

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>at some of the casinos in Vegas, and you know,

0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie. I mean, I've gotten some freebees

0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 1>over the years. Um, just you know whatever. But it's

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.479
<v Speaker 1>not as easy as it used to be. It's not

0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 1>as easy. You can't just say, hey, get Mallard a room. No,

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.159
<v Speaker 1>you gotta you know, it's a whole like loop hoops,

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>you gotta jump through. Anyway, some of the prop bets

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>for this weekend, we're gonna get into these problems. But

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>do you waste so much? What if we're gonna get

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.680
<v Speaker 1>into the prop bets for this week, why don't we

0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>go back to last week to see how you did?

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is not fair to the audience that well, though,

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna do that before we pick the games. If

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 1>we have time, we might not have time because you

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>have an event you have to go to, and so

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>we're unlimited time here, and so we must get to this.

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>But you hear the profits. So Derrick Henry, who's been

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 1>the super nova for Tennessee, is the profit is rushing

0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>yards for Derrick Henry over a hundred eighty yards? Will

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Henry run for over a hundred eighty yards? If you

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 1>say no, that is minus one thousand, minus one thousand

0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>on that. If you say yes, it's plus five hundred.

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 1>So the only way Tennessee can win this game plausibly

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>is for Henry to go to about a d eighty yards.

0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.400
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not gonna you would have to be a

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 1>fool to say yes on that, although you get better

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>better odds. Obviously, I am gonna say that he does

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 1>not get over a hundred yards, So I'm gonna mark

0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 1>me down for no on that particular prop. Chock mallard

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 1>minus one thousand. Okay, Now, is that the penny gonna

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 1>pick this? Or you? Maybe you can pick this guest

0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 1>on that way? Oh, the penny is gonna How goody

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the penny's gonna pick? How exciting is it? This? Look

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>up and she says, Derrick Henry, yes, plus five hundred,

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 1>put him down, plus five hundred. Put it on the board. Yeah,

0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.000
<v Speaker 1>don't be stealing my material. Okay, I already stole it

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:38.920
<v Speaker 1>from Hot Carrolson. You don't need to steal it from

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>me now. But I am not gonna gonna take the

0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:44.199
<v Speaker 1>as I said, I'm not gonna say he's gonna go

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 1>for over a hundred I think you have a hundred

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>and fifty five yards. How about that, Ryan Tannehill, here's

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:51.319
<v Speaker 1>a good one. Will he throw for under a hundred

0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>yards and then win and Tennessee win the game? Now,

0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 1>this has been a tradition here late for the Titans.

0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 1>In these playoff games. Tannehill is not used much at all.

0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 1>He's just kind of hanging around, hanging around, uh and

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 1>all that. Uh So, no is minus three thousand and

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:15.400
<v Speaker 1>if you're not a gambler, that implies a ninety six

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 1>percent chance chance almost ninety seven percent, that that this

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 1>will will not happen, that that this is not gonna happen.

0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I would throw a couple of bucks down on yes,

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>because I think if Tannehill goes over a hundred yards passing,

0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee likely will not be able to win the game,

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.959
<v Speaker 1>meaning he will f this game up. He will throw

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>interceptions and be a disaster. But um, I'm not gonna

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>bet on yes, because that's a sucker's play. Even at

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:48.000
<v Speaker 1>plus fifteen hundred, I mean hundred yards you can get

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.680
<v Speaker 1>in a half or a quarter, you know, a decent quarterback.

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>But I'm gonna take no Ones. I'm again, I'm gonna

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 1>go no. I'm gonna go chalk minus three thousand on Tanning.

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Penny will agree with you on that one, minus three

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 1>thousand on No. Alright, So the same concept on this prop,

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>bet on Benny versus the penny, which will be higher

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Tannehill's passing yards or Derrick Henry's rushing yards. That

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>is a good one, right, Tannehill's minus three fifty and

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Henry because you obviously is easier to get passing yards. Uh,

0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Derrick Henry's plus two five. I'm gonna take Henry on this.

0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna take Henry. Tennessee is not gonna change what

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.400
<v Speaker 1>they've done. Mike Rabel is not going to change the

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 1>game plan here. You don't reinvent the wheel. It's working.

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 1>It's just human conditions. So I'm going with Henry. Henry

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>is gonna have a hundred and fifty five something yards

0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and they're just gonna play keep away. And you know

0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.439
<v Speaker 1>a few short passes, but there they'll mix the running

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 1>backs up. So I'll take Henry it plus plus two five.

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>The odds should actually be little higher than that. But

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Penny is going the other way with Tannehill. This isn't

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Peyton Manning two thousand fifteen. He can throw the ball

0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.680
<v Speaker 1>down the field. They don't throw He's attempt twenty nine

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>passes in two games. That's just because of how the

0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 1>defense is playing them in the first couple of rounds.

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 1>And you think they're gonna change it in this game,

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>of course, not pcent. All right, what are some of

0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the other Most of these props are about the Tennessee

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:16.559
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City game. Let's see, let me just find another

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>good one. Well, Kansas City score fifty or more points?

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 1>No is minus a thousand, plus is plus five hundred

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 1>on yes? Rather yes this plus five? Well, no, they're

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 1>not gonna score fifty points in this game. Uh, not

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:34.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen. That's very rare. Once in a blue moon

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>does that happen. So I will take no on Kansas

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 1>City scoring fifty points or more. Penny is an agreement

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 1>with you on that one. No to fifty al right, Well,

0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Tyreek Hill have a reception of over fifty yards in

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 1>this game, I know is minus five. Yes is plus

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:57.640
<v Speaker 1>three hundred. I'm gonna go yes, he's so fast, he's

0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 1>he's uh speedy Gonzalez out there. We're miss saying the monologue.

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>This wee's like, it's like the auto bon with Tyreek Hills.

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I think he will. I want to go yes, and

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 1>there's value in that. Make a couple of bucks. I'll

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 1>go yes, that's a really good one. Anything to go

0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>with you to see we're doing prop bets is what

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.040
<v Speaker 1>we're doing. We're do these actual prop bets. Here's when

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the Niners defense has been ridiculously good. Here very very

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>good over under sacks for your Nick Bosa and the

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Niners over three total sacks, under three total sacks. Over

0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:39.079
<v Speaker 1>is minus one forty. Under is plus one hundred. So

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you bet the under. I know

0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.320
<v Speaker 1>you win the under until they go over. But the

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.559
<v Speaker 1>way the Niners defense is played, combined with the I

0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.000
<v Speaker 1>don't think the Packers are all that great. So I

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I would take the over three and and again minus

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 1>one forty. I'm going with the chalk on this, but

0:12:54.920 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I would I would do that, not about shocking the swan.

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Penny's going the other way with under three and a half.

0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Show weekdays at two am eastern pm Pacific. Now I

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 1>look forward to next week on Benny Versus the Penny

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 1>because the real solid prop beds. Boy, are you know

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the leading up to the I guess we won't actually

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 1>have Benny Versus the Penny. Next week will be the

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>week after I thought you're gonna start gambling on the

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Pro Bowl. Well, I mean we have to kill some time,

0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 1>and we will. We have to get a second podcast

0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 1>out during the week. Maybe we'll do that, but do

0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>not do not plan on doing that. But the the

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 1>other thing before we did get to the actual games,

0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.679
<v Speaker 1>which is why people are here. So the odds are

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:42.800
<v Speaker 1>out on the hypothetical theoretical Super Bowl matchups. Right, there's

0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 1>only a limited number of possibilities. There's four teams left,

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>So what would the points spread be on each matchup? Now,

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.679
<v Speaker 1>let's say the chalk one out that the Niners and

0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs play in Miami in the Super Bowl. Did you

0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 1>see this gas gun? Did you see what the point

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 1>spread is? No? But you didn't all make an educated

0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.360
<v Speaker 1>guess a right to be San Francisco minus two and

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 1>a half. So you think the Niners would be a

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 1>two and a half point favorite over the Chiefs in

0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 1>that matchup? No, according to super Book USA, the Chiefs

0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.680
<v Speaker 1>would the game would be a pick up, the game

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 1>would be a pick um, and the total in the

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 1>game would be fifty and a half, which that seems

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.800
<v Speaker 1>like low to me with the Chiefs offense and whatnot,

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 1>But they that's what they're They've they claimed the line

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 1>will be We'll see if that's true, depending on injury.

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 1>One other matter. We've got three other possible matchups. You

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.000
<v Speaker 1>want to go through the three? Here, what the point

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 1>spread would be Tennessee Green Bay, Tennessee green Bay? What

0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>do you think the line would be? Green Bay minus four? No,

0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>green Bay only minus one and a half. The total

0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.160
<v Speaker 1>would only be forty four on that game, so they

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 1>would they would expect not many points. So what are

0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.760
<v Speaker 1>the other match of pat Packers Chiefs? Yeah, I think

0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>that would be Kansas City minus seven. Well, you should

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 1>bet on Kansas City then if that happens, But it's

0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs are favored in the hypothetical matchup. They'll be

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 1>favored by four and a half over Aaron Rodgers and

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:07.800
<v Speaker 1>the Packers in that Super Bowl one and the rematch,

0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.120
<v Speaker 1>and then the last possibly the forty Niners and the

0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 1>tightness if Tennessee goes into Arrowhead and wins and the

0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Niners molly wop the team from Green Bay. The line up,

0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 1>what do you think the line would be on forty

0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Niners tight San Francisco minor six with a total of

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:26.600
<v Speaker 1>like forty two, You're pretty close. The Niners would be

0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 1>minus five and a half over Tennessee and the total

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.160
<v Speaker 1>will be forty four. So it's in that same area.

0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Who do you like? I mean, amongst the four teams

0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:40.200
<v Speaker 1>that are left, who do you like the most? I

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:42.480
<v Speaker 1>like the chief so I don't love their divas. I

0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:44.720
<v Speaker 1>like the Chief so I love the Chiefs offense. And

0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to see Mahomes in the in the Super Bowl.

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.080
<v Speaker 1>That'd be kind of cool. I was at the gym

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 1>earlier today and on three TVs. One of them showed

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.720
<v Speaker 1>the a f C Championship game from last year, another

0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.640
<v Speaker 1>TV showed the Divisional round from last week, and then

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 1>another one was showing him at Texas Tech. I forget

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.720
<v Speaker 1>what game it was, but all Mahomes all day. It's

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 1>said the Jim Alzato was awesome. It was kind of nauseating.

0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:11.960
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I'd love to see my Homes versus San

0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Francisco's defense. Remember last year in the NFC Championship game,

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the game went to overtime, the Chiefs put up thirty

0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 1>one points. Mahomes had three touchdowns and no interceptions. He

0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.560
<v Speaker 1>he was you know, he wasn't great. He had he

0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 1>had a fair amount of incompletions in the game. I

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.480
<v Speaker 1>think he was about fifty percent passing or something like that,

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I remember, but he was right around three hundred yards

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 1>and three touchdowns. Yeah, well, don't forget it was fourteen

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 1>nothing new England at the end of the first half.

0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, so yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean he played

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.720
<v Speaker 1>in the second half of that game. He he went

0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:48.000
<v Speaker 1>two turbo time. I can't even say it's good. It's

0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 1>a bad job. And didn't you yeah, I think you

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.560
<v Speaker 1>last year you had in Benny versus A Penny, all

0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 1>said Kansas City. So um, Penny had But what was

0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>this a random flip here? What happened? Penny had the

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Patriots last year in the NC Championship. Okay, all right,

0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:06.560
<v Speaker 1>let's get through the actual games here. It is the

0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Benny Versus the Penny podcast, which will not be along geated,

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.959
<v Speaker 1>will not be along good. Alright. So the early game

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:18.840
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday Championship Sunday Tennessee now eleven and seven, including

0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs from the ANFC South and Kansas City thirteen

0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and four from the a f C West. It's on

0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 1>CBS with Jim Nance and Tony Romo on the call. Now,

0:17:29.560 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs opened a seven and a half point favorite,

0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:38.400
<v Speaker 1>seven and a half point favorite for Kansas City. And uh,

0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 1>let's get the updated number. I gonna click a couple

0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.720
<v Speaker 1>of buttons here because it's all everything's online here and

0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 1>see where the numbers are. Uh and uh, let's see

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 1>here the line has it's at seven now, so the

0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs minus seven. That's the current line. Where's the money

0:17:55.840 --> 0:18:01.040
<v Speaker 1>at It's about about six of the wagers are on

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:05.159
<v Speaker 1>the home team, Kansas City in this game minus seven

0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.119
<v Speaker 1>after what they did to Houston last week. It'll be

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:12.879
<v Speaker 1>sunny twenty one degrees at kickoff at Arrowhead Stadium. I

0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:16.200
<v Speaker 1>am going to take the Tennessee Titans plus the points

0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 1>in this game now. And here's why. A if it's

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.120
<v Speaker 1>not broke, you don't fix it, right, that's the old line.

0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.800
<v Speaker 1>We all learned that growing up. Mike Rabel has cooked

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:27.280
<v Speaker 1>up a winning formula in recent weeks. The Titans are

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:31.120
<v Speaker 1>going to try to ride the express train of Derrick Henry.

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 1>That's gonna be. They're gonna ride or die with Derrick

0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Henry here. It's a very straightforward game plan. There's not

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.640
<v Speaker 1>any deception. If Ray will learn from Belichick, you don't

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>do the funny business. The same things that won football

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.840
<v Speaker 1>games forty years ago still win football games today. Tennessee

0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 1>is gonna try to play the four corners offense, keep

0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:55.840
<v Speaker 1>the ball away, slow the game down because if this

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.959
<v Speaker 1>is a grinder game, okay, if this is a grinder

0:18:59.000 --> 0:19:02.640
<v Speaker 1>game long with thodical drives a lot of third down conversions,

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:06.080
<v Speaker 1>every second is so precious for the Titans because they

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 1>don't have the firepower of Kansas City, and you you

0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.919
<v Speaker 1>gotta keep that Chief's offense, which is like a fire

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.960
<v Speaker 1>hose of playmakers off the field as long as you can.

0:19:16.440 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Armageddon for Tennessee would obviously be of the Chiefs jump

0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.919
<v Speaker 1>out to an early fourteen nothing lead, uh, something like that,

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>and that that forces Ryan Tannehill into the center of

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.879
<v Speaker 1>the ring and that ain't gonna go. Well, you have

0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:33.160
<v Speaker 1>to be mentally deranged to to want to put your

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:37.200
<v Speaker 1>money on Tannehill trailing early and have to to lead

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee back. Now, is that the flukey things happened? Maybe

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:42.520
<v Speaker 1>he could, but I ain't betting on that. So I

0:19:42.560 --> 0:19:44.720
<v Speaker 1>think this. They obviously keep part of the whole game,

0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:48.720
<v Speaker 1>but early in the game Tennessee to establish himself. Now,

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.080
<v Speaker 1>U Tannehill has been a useful idiot. He has been

0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:56.240
<v Speaker 1>a decoy and the place I mentioned twenty nine pass attempts.

0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:00.159
<v Speaker 1>In terms of defense, the Titans, they don't have have

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 1>the sex appeal. There's not any real big names on there.

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:05.359
<v Speaker 1>You know. Of all the teams left, the Niners have

0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:08.879
<v Speaker 1>the big names on defense, but Tennessee has bunker down.

0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:12.920
<v Speaker 1>They're allowing just thirteen points per game the last three weeks,

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:16.439
<v Speaker 1>all of those games against playoff opponents. Now that obviously

0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:19.680
<v Speaker 1>the last two against Baltimore and New England. They also

0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 1>did a very good job last game of the regular

0:20:22.320 --> 0:20:27.159
<v Speaker 1>season against the Houston Texans, and so they've also been

0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 1>the beneficiary. I'm not gonna hide from it. There's been

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of mistakes by the Patriots and the Ravens,

0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and how much of that is because of good football

0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 1>from Tennessee and how much of that is just sloppy

0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:42.360
<v Speaker 1>football from the opposition. But the word here is opportunistic.

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.800
<v Speaker 1>The Titans have been an opportunistic defense. And does that

0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.159
<v Speaker 1>continue here We're gonna find out now. Part B of

0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 1>this Patrick Mahomes, who had another magnum opus last week

0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:58.399
<v Speaker 1>against the Texans. This is another opportunity for him to

0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:02.440
<v Speaker 1>lead Andy read Like and carry him on his back

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:05.440
<v Speaker 1>like a sack of potatoes back to the super Bowl.

0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:10.280
<v Speaker 1>The Chiefs have no excuse, no excuse here. They lose

0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:14.359
<v Speaker 1>this game, they will be destroyed. They should be destroyed.

0:21:14.400 --> 0:21:18.640
<v Speaker 1>They've got the creature comforts of home, home, cooking, your sleep,

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 1>number bed. You don't have to steal none of that

0:21:20.560 --> 0:21:25.200
<v Speaker 1>other stuff. Uber talented offense, right, uber talented offense, better

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:30.639
<v Speaker 1>team top to bottom, talent wise, more experienced, seasoned head coach,

0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:34.600
<v Speaker 1>if that matters. Also, they don't have to play Tom

0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Brady on the other side and Bill Belichick. They're playing

0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:42.359
<v Speaker 1>the disciple of Belichick, but not Belichick. The sequel should

0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>not be the equal. I would expect a close game here.

0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:48.720
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm expecting here, Uh, closer than many anticipate.

0:21:49.359 --> 0:21:52.359
<v Speaker 1>The better team does not always win the game, but

0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:56.720
<v Speaker 1>this week Kansas City is going to prevail with the

0:21:56.840 --> 0:22:00.719
<v Speaker 1>pyrotechnic show that will be limited. The Titans are not

0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 1>going to surrender without scratching and crawling and clawing and

0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:08.800
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff. So I would expect a grueling, exhausting

0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:12.320
<v Speaker 1>type game. A lot of points will be scored and

0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes will pull it out in the end. Chiefs thirty

0:22:16.960 --> 0:22:25.040
<v Speaker 1>one Titans, A petty is tailing you on this One's

0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:29.000
<v Speaker 1>go a Tennessee. Wow. Alright, so we both liked the

0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:34.000

0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay's Matt le Fleur is the first rookie head

0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:59.320
<v Speaker 1>coach to reach the conference championship game since blank. Since blank,

0:22:59.400 --> 0:23:02.199
<v Speaker 1>you have to fill in the blank. That's how this works,

0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:05.040
<v Speaker 1>all right? The answer coming up late game Green Bay

0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:08.719
<v Speaker 1>fourteen and three in the NFC North at Santa Clair.

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 1>That that includes the PLAYFFS and Santa Clair fourteen and

0:23:12.000 --> 0:23:14.840
<v Speaker 1>three as well. In the NFC West. It's on Fox,

0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:18.440
<v Speaker 1>so you better watch with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:21.600
<v Speaker 1>and my friend Chris Myers, part of the Fox Sports

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Radio Alumni Association. I'm surprised you haven't reached out to him,

0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:31.440
<v Speaker 1>but Chris Myers will be on the sidelines there. What nothing, Okay,

0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I haven't talked to you. I gotta send text Chris,

0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:35.879
<v Speaker 1>Chris and text. You know sometimes when I'm watching the

0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 1>game it's like really cold, I'll send him, you know,

0:23:38.520 --> 0:23:40.199
<v Speaker 1>he says a game. You know, this game is in

0:23:40.320 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Northern California, but if it's in Green Bay, I'd be like, hey,

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:44.919
<v Speaker 1>you look pretty good there. How many layers of clothing

0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:47.400
<v Speaker 1>do you have? And you're like text back during the game,

0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:49.359
<v Speaker 1>want me to want me to shoot him a text

0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:53.800
<v Speaker 1>for you? No, No, he didn't know you. We're colleagues.

0:23:53.800 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I did a show with him for for like a year.

0:23:56.040 --> 0:24:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Did you guys get fired or kicked off that time slot? Uh? No, no,

0:24:00.400 --> 0:24:03.000
<v Speaker 1>he well he got fired. Well we both actually technically

0:24:03.080 --> 0:24:06.680
<v Speaker 1>got fired out to the Ben and Dave show. Well

0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:08.480
<v Speaker 1>that's that was This is the Ben and what was

0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the drive with Chris Myers, just because I was just

0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:17.560
<v Speaker 1>resigning all the shows that you've been punted off of. Yeah,

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:19.679
<v Speaker 1>it's better to be it has been than it never was,

0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:22.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, I just point that out. Yeah, w e

0:24:22.320 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 1>I piece out again. That's because of the termination in

0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the Sports Hub now, which is a great radio station

0:24:29.240 --> 0:24:34.240
<v Speaker 1>in Boston. Unfortunately not all right, let's get to the

0:24:34.280 --> 0:24:38.359
<v Speaker 1>damn game. So the Niners opened up a six point favorite.

0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:41.520
<v Speaker 1>They are seven and a half point favorites. So you

0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:44.639
<v Speaker 1>got the hook on the forty Niners. And the reason

0:24:44.680 --> 0:24:46.439
<v Speaker 1>you got the hook here is because everyone of their

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:49.520
<v Speaker 1>mother is betting on the forty Niners. And I'm gonna

0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:51.560
<v Speaker 1>go with the sheep here. I'm gonna take the forty

0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:54.679
<v Speaker 1>Niners in the game. The weather mostly cloudy, fifty eight

0:24:54.720 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 1>degrees of kick off at Levi's Stadium for all the

0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Google and Twitter and Facebook executives and YouTube that will

0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:06.200
<v Speaker 1>be hanging out. So I got the Niners. Now, the

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Niners defense we saw last week again unshackled against the Vikings,

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:14.400
<v Speaker 1>I would expect more of that. This week, Nick Bosa

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and friends have been as lethal as a barracuda of

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:21.320
<v Speaker 1>late on defense, and they are going to give Aaron

0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers heartburn and anxiety and all that stuff. The forty

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:29.399
<v Speaker 1>Niners defense has allowed only five point two yards per

0:25:29.520 --> 0:25:34.200
<v Speaker 1>attempt for the season. I read this earlier, and that's

0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:39.119
<v Speaker 1>that's against combined offenses that average six point seven yards

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:42.000
<v Speaker 1>per attempt. That is a minus one and a half

0:25:42.080 --> 0:25:44.760
<v Speaker 1>yard margin. You said, well, that doesn't matter, who cares.

0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:47.200
<v Speaker 1>That's just a bunch of numbers. That's a bunch of gibbers. Well,

0:25:47.760 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 1>that is the best statistic for any team in the

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:54.320
<v Speaker 1>NFL in over a decade. You're gonna go back to

0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the Pittsburgh Steelers. It has been breathtaking, is what it's been.

0:26:00.000 --> 0:26:04.199
<v Speaker 1>And that's twelve seasons of football, and so essentially the

0:26:04.280 --> 0:26:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Niners defense has been a once in a decade type

0:26:07.640 --> 0:26:10.720
<v Speaker 1>of defense. Now I'm not as smitten with the forty

0:26:10.800 --> 0:26:15.679
<v Speaker 1>Niners offense, but the gold rush attack of led by

0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Tevin Coleman should provide enough punch in in side by

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:24.600
<v Speaker 1>side with the defense, you know, in in you know,

0:26:24.680 --> 0:26:28.520
<v Speaker 1>working together, uh, synergy, whatever term you want to use here,

0:26:28.960 --> 0:26:32.440
<v Speaker 1>The nightmare here in this game for the forty Niners

0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:35.920
<v Speaker 1>would be if Green Bay is able to break through

0:26:36.000 --> 0:26:39.639
<v Speaker 1>somehow and score some points, and then this becomes a

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:43.040
<v Speaker 1>back and forth game and you're depending on Jimmy Garoppolo

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:47.320
<v Speaker 1>to go punch for punch with a Aaron Rodgers type

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:50.280
<v Speaker 1>guy who's hot, who's playing well, with confidence and all

0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:54.360
<v Speaker 1>this stuff. That would be a disaster for the forty Years.

0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't expect that to happen. I think this game

0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:59.680
<v Speaker 1>will be decided by the fourth quarter. Uh, and the

0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:01.720
<v Speaker 1>path Sers do have some holes in their secondary, but

0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:04.320
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to have Garoppolo be this siding factory

0:27:04.280 --> 0:27:06.200
<v Speaker 1>because that means a lot of things have gone wrong

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 1>for the forty Niners. Now. The second Green Bay to

0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:12.399
<v Speaker 1>me continues to be one of the great mysteries of

0:27:12.400 --> 0:27:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the season. I want to point out that last week

0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:19.159
<v Speaker 1>I had a bad beat. If Seattle had converted a

0:27:19.200 --> 0:27:21.880
<v Speaker 1>two point conversion, I would have been fine in that game.

0:27:21.920 --> 0:27:24.919
<v Speaker 1>They did not, so I was my handicapping was actually

0:27:25.040 --> 0:27:27.720
<v Speaker 1>right on the Green Bay Seattle game. Just an odd

0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:29.679
<v Speaker 1>thing took place there. But as far as the Packers,

0:27:29.840 --> 0:27:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the eyeball test says to me, this is a slightly

0:27:33.160 --> 0:27:35.160
<v Speaker 1>better than average team. I've said it before, I'll say

0:27:35.160 --> 0:27:37.439
<v Speaker 1>it again. They look to me like a ten and

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:42.440
<v Speaker 1>six team. Yet they have now won fourteen games, including

0:27:42.480 --> 0:27:45.639
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. It is so bizarre that they continue to

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 1>win these games. Aaron Rodgers had an embarrassing performance the

0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:53.520
<v Speaker 1>first time he played the Niners this year, and obviously

0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 1>now the stakes have been raised and all that stuff.

0:27:56.440 --> 0:28:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Is he gonna do better in the sequel? Many say, oh, yeah,

0:28:01.000 --> 0:28:04.080
<v Speaker 1>of course, Aaron fucking Rogers. Of course he's gonna do

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 1>But I say, now, I expect the forty Niners to

0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:11.000
<v Speaker 1>mess up the rhythm of that Green Bay passing attack again.

0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:14.560
<v Speaker 1>And also the problem the Packers are gonna have is

0:28:14.600 --> 0:28:17.960
<v Speaker 1>that the Niners are going to hog tie any running

0:28:17.960 --> 0:28:21.800
<v Speaker 1>back to Packers throughout. They shut down Dalvin Cook and

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:25.320
<v Speaker 1>despite my you know, enthusiasm for the Vikings, they couldn't

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:27.400
<v Speaker 1>do anything right. Aaron Jones is a good running back.

0:28:27.760 --> 0:28:31.000
<v Speaker 1>He's in for some tough sledding here. Packers offense will

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:33.879
<v Speaker 1>be bogged down in this game. It is going to

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:37.439
<v Speaker 1>be a slaughter. A lot of cheese will be flying

0:28:37.440 --> 0:28:39.280
<v Speaker 1>in the air everywhere, but not in a good way.

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 1>It's Limburger cheese, forty Niners thirty four Packers seventeen. That's right,

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:50.480
<v Speaker 1>that's the super Bowl. It's gonna be the forty Niners

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:53.240
<v Speaker 1>in the chiefs and a revenge game. The penny is

0:28:53.280 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 1>going with the Green Bay Packers. Bad job, bad job.

0:28:56.960 --> 0:28:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Now you want to look back at last week before

0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:00.840
<v Speaker 1>we put the baby to bed here again scar AFC

0:29:01.240 --> 0:29:06.320
<v Speaker 1>and NFC Division round matchups, you went one and three again.

0:29:06.400 --> 0:29:08.720
<v Speaker 1>I just explained that, really I was right about the

0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Seattle Green Bay game. Two point conversion did me? Nobody

0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:15.200
<v Speaker 1>cares one in three. That's awful. That's not a it's

0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 1>one in three, that's not awful. You're batting too again.

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I know you're not that bright, you don't understand nuance,

0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:25.240
<v Speaker 1>but the handicapping was right. You're a twenty. The way

0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I anticipated the games I had. Listen, you're talking about

0:29:28.920 --> 0:29:33.280
<v Speaker 1>a bad weekend. I had the Texans twenty for nothing

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 1>getting nine and a half, and those assholes from Houston

0:29:36.800 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 1>that screwed up and lost the game, didn't even cover

0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:42.080
<v Speaker 1>the spread. And you're twenty four nothing league getting almost

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:45.479
<v Speaker 1>a double digits, and you can't cover the fucking spread.

0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Fire Bill O'Brien, that piece of HyET. You fire him.

0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:51.520
<v Speaker 1>You know who had Kansas City minus nine and a

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:54.720
<v Speaker 1>half the penny. That doesn't matter. I was right about

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 1>that game. I was right about the Texas I was

0:29:57.200 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 1>right about the Seattle Green Bay game. So really I

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:03.360
<v Speaker 1>went three and one? Fuck you? Okay, horrendous? All right,

0:30:03.400 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I gotta pay off the let's get trivial. So Matt

0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 1>la Fleur is the first rookie head coach to reach

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:14.960
<v Speaker 1>the conference championship games since blank. I'm gonna go with

0:30:15.200 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 1>the great John Madden. John Madden Wow, way back in

0:30:19.880 --> 0:30:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the day the Madden Mobile. Yes, no, you're wrong, jeb

0:30:23.960 --> 0:30:26.320
<v Speaker 1>By your guest gun you do not know Kep talking

0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 1>about your phony. My second guest was Dick for Meal,

0:30:29.240 --> 0:30:33.840
<v Speaker 1>but believe it or not, it was Jim Harball. Jim

0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Harball just almost a decade ago. Now it's hard to

0:30:37.840 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 1>believe it's been almost a decade. But after the eleven

0:30:41.320 --> 0:30:45.160
<v Speaker 1>season with the forty niners, with the forty niners, so

0:30:45.200 --> 0:30:48.360
<v Speaker 1>this is now. This is a leaning mean benny versus

0:30:48.360 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 1>the penny. This is leaning to me. Do you think

0:30:49.960 --> 0:30:53.760
<v Speaker 1>the downloads will be higher because the show's shorter, or

0:30:53.760 --> 0:30:56.600
<v Speaker 1>will they be the same. If it's any indication of

0:30:56.640 --> 0:30:59.520
<v Speaker 1>what your followers and suck ups and boot liquors were

0:30:59.560 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 1>like the two weeks when you lost two bets to me,

0:31:02.200 --> 0:31:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say it is probably lower than expectations, So

0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:10.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go with the under no, I think it

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:12.520
<v Speaker 1>will be about the same, because why would it change.

0:31:12.520 --> 0:31:15.440
<v Speaker 1>It's it's you can listen to more of it. Well,

0:31:15.560 --> 0:31:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm yeah, what's true. But you can always fast forward

0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:19.800
<v Speaker 1>when you want to get to the point. So on

0:31:19.800 --> 0:31:22.440
<v Speaker 1>on the get to the point, please on the iTunes

0:31:22.480 --> 0:31:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and I heart radio app you can always fast forward.

0:31:24.520 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought the biggest indictment on all this is Benny

0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:30.320
<v Speaker 1>versus the Penny doesn't get as many downloads as your

0:31:30.480 --> 0:31:34.200
<v Speaker 1>original Fifth Our with Ben Mallory podcast. Well, hold on sake,

0:31:34.360 --> 0:31:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that's the first time that's happened. Now, that is the

0:31:37.200 --> 0:31:40.600
<v Speaker 1>first time. Last week was the first time that happened.

0:31:40.640 --> 0:31:42.480
<v Speaker 1>And I'm sure what you did is you you send

0:31:42.520 --> 0:31:45.480
<v Speaker 1>an email out to the Gascon family, the Gagon family

0:31:45.480 --> 0:31:47.120
<v Speaker 1>and said, hey, you might want to download the but

0:31:47.400 --> 0:31:49.600
<v Speaker 1>it's probably a reason for that. A little bit more me,

0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:54.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit less of you, and you're hated you're

0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:57.760
<v Speaker 1>a hell. People despise you, they can't stand You's not

0:31:57.880 --> 0:32:00.480
<v Speaker 1>true alright anyway, listen, that's it. Well with the baby

0:32:00.480 --> 0:32:03.440
<v Speaker 1>to bed. Guscon's busy. Guys, got crap to do. I

0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:06.960
<v Speaker 1>don't have anything to do but have a great, wonderful,
