Speaker 1: Let me just say this about guessing lines, because for
Speaker 1: those of you who are tuning in down this morning,
Speaker 1: you're like, well, it's guessing lines this morning, right, of
Speaker 1: course it is. For goodness sake, week eight in the
Speaker 1: National Football he will be asking guessing lines with Chris Andrews.
Speaker 1: That will bring it here momentarily. But let me just
Speaker 1: say this off the top. Well, let's bring in Chrissy,
Speaker 1: for goodness sake, from somewhere in l A. Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: He is the sports book director at the South Point
Speaker 1: Hotel casino right here, perhaps back in the fold here.

Speaker 1: It's Chris Andrew's my book. A good morning, Chrissy, Hey Jilly,
Speaker 1: what's going on? How you doing? Are we within a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks? Maybe? Maybe? Wow? Maybe within a couple
Speaker 1: of days, but I don't want to count anything. I
Speaker 1: had a I had a test last Wednesday. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: uh listen. I don't know if anybody's interested, but the
Speaker 1: bone marrow biopsy, which is painful as hell in anyway,
Speaker 1: the results it takes a while to get the results.
Speaker 1: I see the results tomorrow. If everything everything is good,
Speaker 1: they're releasing me and I hope to be back in Launch,
Speaker 1: Vegas Tuesday night. Keeping my fingers crossed, keeping my fingers
Speaker 1: were all not counting anything yet. Listen, don't ever say
Speaker 1: we're not interested. We are interested. We want to know.
Speaker 1: Um but boat marrow biopsy just said the last thing
Speaker 1: about that, you said it's painful, Well, it's not so
Speaker 1: much painful. They shoot you up. Well, first of all,
Speaker 1: they give you a morphine before you get it, so
Speaker 1: that's one plus, you know, and then they shoot you
Speaker 1: up with a local so it doesn't hurt that bad
Speaker 1: when you do it, but it just hurts for days
Speaker 1: and days afterwards, including you know. Still, So it's been
Speaker 1: like five days and you know, my back is still
Speaker 1: pretty tender, you know, from it'll take a little while.
Speaker 1: But meanwhile, I was hoping that's the last one I
Speaker 1: have to get, and they tell you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: get at least two more, three, you know, So well,
Speaker 1: I guess let that be the worst of it. Given Yeah, yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: like I said, at least I get morphine, So what
Speaker 1: the health you know, So at least the worst thing
Speaker 1: in the world. Well, we hope to get you back
Speaker 1: here with it a couple of days. How did you
Speaker 1: do as a as the head bookmaker here at the
Speaker 1: director of the South Point Hotel Casino sports book How
Speaker 1: did you do this weekend? Uh? You know, they're both
Speaker 1: good days. You know. Saturday, you know, we didn't have
Speaker 1: any like huge, huge winds, but we just grind it
Speaker 1: out the really nice day. And yesterday, you know, we
Speaker 1: had some big wins, we had some big losses, but
Speaker 1: once the dust settled at the end of the night,
Speaker 1: we wind up with a pretty good day. Again, not great,
Speaker 1: not really great, but pretty good. Yea, So no open
Speaker 1: plaints for the whole weekend. And I gotta tell you
Speaker 1: the handle overall, I think the biggest Saturday and Sunday
Speaker 1: combined since I've been right, you know, other been other
Speaker 1: than like a Super Bowl or something like that. So
Speaker 1: our business is growing. That has to make Mr Vaughan
Speaker 1: very happy. Um. And uh, you know, we're we do
Speaker 1: a lot of little things. Like I said, it doesn't
Speaker 1: necessarily get you on ESPN and that sort of stuff,
Speaker 1: but we take pride in taking care of our customers
Speaker 1: and That's one of the things I think we do
Speaker 1: really well. And I wonder if you'll be able to
Speaker 1: say that, oh, biggest handle of a weekend. I wonder
Speaker 1: if you'll be able to say that time and time
Speaker 1: again this year. Maybe not everywhere, I'm guessing you might. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it seems to be growing. Like last night, I was
Speaker 1: looking and we didn't quite get there. I think a
Speaker 1: week before, maybe two weeks ago, I said we had
Speaker 1: the biggest handle in a game since I've been here,
Speaker 1: and I thought maybe the Philly Dallas game would get there.
Speaker 1: Didn't quite get there, but it was. It was a
Speaker 1: pretty big handle on that game. And again, a lot
Speaker 1: of that has to do around the three, because we
Speaker 1: only we don't move to juice. We only moved the number.
Speaker 1: We keep everything in eleven a ten, And you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes it works against us, but you know, overall it
Speaker 1: has worked for us because, like I said, guys, come
Speaker 1: into the you come into the South Point. You might
Speaker 1: not get the number you want, but you are going
Speaker 1: to eleven attend. You aren't going to get any these
Speaker 1: you know, fancy numbers associated with the three years seven
Speaker 1: or whatever some other guys did you know you're gonna
Speaker 1: lay eleven at tenure, and I think our customers appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Last week has heard on Visa and Jeff Parls Minnesota
Speaker 1: and Philadelphia was the highest handled game of any non
Speaker 1: postseason game ever at South winch Do we have anything
Speaker 1: exceed that this past week with me? No, Like I said,
Speaker 1: the Philly Dallas game came, did not exceed that. I'm not.
Speaker 1: The overall handle for the two days was fantastic, all right. So, um,
Speaker 1: let me just say this. I don't often we listen.
Speaker 1: We're not in the h Hey look at us. Uh,
Speaker 1: look look what I did kind of thing here, But
Speaker 1: guessing lines has been an institution here. We have paid
Speaker 1: tribute to the Startus Show, Roxy's little Star Start Us Show.
Speaker 1: So from so many years ago with the Guessing Line show,
Speaker 1: you and I in podcast form for many years and
Speaker 1: now of course on a numbers game which is also
Speaker 1: in podcast form. Um, let me just say this, the
Speaker 1: way that thefl is going, the haves and the have nots,
Speaker 1: the chasm growing between them, and so my guess is right,
Speaker 1: have been as a result of that sort of dynamic,
Speaker 1: further and further off than in previous years. And that
Speaker 1: sort of sort of makes sense. And let me just
Speaker 1: say this, on guessing lines, our read of what the
Speaker 1: market ought to be has been consistently better then what
Speaker 1: comes out here on Mondays. So this weekend, for instance,
Speaker 1: we were able to use that and the only thing
Speaker 1: that I the only thing that I missed on it
Speaker 1: was a push with the Niners. Niners historically the Redskins
Speaker 1: only the second team in the modern era to not
Speaker 1: cover excuse me to cover rather while scoring zero points. Um.
Speaker 1: But that was a push in contest. But essentially, we've
Speaker 1: been better on New Orleans week after week than what
Speaker 1: the market has suggested. I've had New Orleans favored the
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Uh, incredulous about the Dolphins catching all
Speaker 1: those points against the Bills, by the way, even more
Speaker 1: incredulous later in the week when it was Ryan Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: announced and it didn't move at all. So as much
Speaker 1: as some of these guests appeared a guest is rather
Speaker 1: appear to be laughable on Monday, the market tends to
Speaker 1: come to us or the results bear it out in
Speaker 1: the end. So we're kind of on fire with the
Speaker 1: guesses here now. I'm sure there'll be some laughers today,
Speaker 1: but that's what makes this a fascinating exercise. That's why
Speaker 1: we love this, Chris. And as always, you post these
Speaker 1: right after the show, right, yeah, yeah, right, as soon
Speaker 1: as we hang up, I call Lou and we get
Speaker 1: these numbers up. Let me you know a guy who's
Speaker 1: not necessarily a friend of our show, but a friend
Speaker 1: of Visa and Aaron Renning, a guy that I've known
Speaker 1: for quite a lot, and I highly respect Aaron. And
Speaker 1: he framed it about as well as I could think
Speaker 1: to do it. And he said, you don't want to
Speaker 1: think parallel with a bookmaker, you want to think perpendicular
Speaker 1: to the bookmaker. We all think the same, there's no
Speaker 1: point in this, right, And I laughed. There was a
Speaker 1: guy I worked with many, many years ago, and I
Speaker 1: was just to pick it right and reasons I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put up a line so good nobody's gonna beta think
Speaker 1: that's really the function of what we're trying to do here. Right.
Speaker 1: As a young kid, I'm thinking, I think that's right, Well,
Speaker 1: well said, well said by Aaron Rennett. That's right, because
Speaker 1: if we if if you know, the point is not
Speaker 1: to guess them accurately, then we have nothing to talk about.
Speaker 1: There'll be no point in the exercise. The point is
Speaker 1: to find a few, a couple, maybe maybe more than
Speaker 1: a couple, or a few where there seems to be
Speaker 1: a difference and therefore perhaps some value. That said, let's
Speaker 1: start Thursday night football week eate in the National Football League. Chris,
Speaker 1: what do you got? Oh you'll love this one. Gilly
Speaker 1: Washington at Minnesota. Yeah, yeah, knowing knowing the red Skins,
Speaker 1: I gotta do this. What was going the Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: game for those who will will absolutely crush that storyline
Speaker 1: all week long. Um. Look, last week, UM, I thought
Speaker 1: the Thursday game was super duper value. That was one
Speaker 1: of the ones that where I said this should be
Speaker 1: Kansas City more than three. It ended up being Kansas
Speaker 1: City just by three on a Thursday night, and we
Speaker 1: pounded Kansas City. As a result of really the guessing
Speaker 1: lines discussion here, I would say, obviously this is a
Speaker 1: different dynamic entirely because Minnesota is gonna be hugely favored
Speaker 1: there at home. By the way, the Redskins yesterday case
Speaker 1: Keenum and the Redskins lose to the Niners nine to nothing.
Speaker 1: Do we have that tweet from Dug Kazarian Jeff This
Speaker 1: is historic NFL gambling history. The Redskins became just the
Speaker 1: second team in the past twenty five seasons to cover
Speaker 1: a point spread without scoring. Only other occurrence two thousand seven,
Speaker 1: Miami lost three to nothing to Pittsburgh as sixteen point dogs.
Speaker 1: So the Skins the only team to uh get us
Speaker 1: out of the wind column with a push and circue.
Speaker 1: Yesterday case keenum nine of twelve on a FedEx field
Speaker 1: that was listen, that's a field that they don't They
Speaker 1: can't seem to get together even in the best of weather,
Speaker 1: and they use the excuse mid Atlantic region. I'm like,
Speaker 1: mid Atlantic whatever, blah blah blah. They can't get that field.
Speaker 1: That's your job, get that field ready. They can't in
Speaker 1: the rain. It was just a slop fest. And so
Speaker 1: what Michael Lombardi ad me on Lombardi Line yesterday, Why
Speaker 1: do I think this line doesn't continue to go up?
Speaker 1: My only answer was it's got to be the weather
Speaker 1: and sharp betters have got to have figured out that
Speaker 1: the field is going to impact This keenom was nine
Speaker 1: of twelve or seventies seven yards, zero touchdowns, zero picks,
Speaker 1: fifty passing yards. If you factor in sacks. The Skins
Speaker 1: mustard a grand total of a hundred and fifty four
Speaker 1: total yards. That was their eight loss in a row,
Speaker 1: by the way, at FedEx. This is at Minnesota. Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins yesterday. Uh, he's the greatest quarterback who's ever lived.
Speaker 1: Chrissy obviously twenty four of thirty four three thirty seven,
Speaker 1: four touchdowns note picks, and wasn't sacked. He connected with
Speaker 1: Stefon Digs on a sixty six yard pass from deep
Speaker 1: in their own territory with a little over two minutes left.
Speaker 1: After matching a career high with the four touchdown passes,
Speaker 1: he leads the Vikings to a forty two to thirty
Speaker 1: win over the Lions. Lad the Vikings on four straight
Speaker 1: touchdown drive starting in the first quarter ending in the third.
Speaker 1: He's the first quarterback in league history to throw for
Speaker 1: at least three hundred yards with a one hundred thirty
Speaker 1: plus passer rating in three straight games. That's Kirk Cousins, everybody,
Speaker 1: and of course Dalvin Cook. Twenty two two touchdowns, dig
Speaker 1: seven catches for one two out gained the Lions five
Speaker 1: oh three to four thirty three. Adam Feeling, though, is
Speaker 1: a question mark here. He had a game ending hamstring
Speaker 1: injury in the first quarter after he was hurt while
Speaker 1: scoring his seventh touchdown of the year. Zimmer Mike Zimmer
Speaker 1: did not have an update on his condition after the game.
Speaker 1: I will say that fourteen would be too short. I
Speaker 1: will say fourteen and a half here in favor of
Speaker 1: the vikings. You're a little light at sixteen, and knowing
Speaker 1: how these thirds and night games go, you know, I
Speaker 1: have a feeling where we're going to touch seventeen at
Speaker 1: some point in the week. And again, I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to tell you the winner. Uh. You know, if I
Speaker 1: was Zimmer, I would definitely put feeling on the bench.
Speaker 1: He's a really important player to them, you know. I
Speaker 1: would hope they're not. They don't need him in a
Speaker 1: game like this because they certainly have plenty of other weapons.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open sixteen and a half, I said, a
Speaker 1: little pick above the market. I see all, I see
Speaker 1: pretty much all sixteen. I'm gonna open sixteen and a half.
Speaker 1: I feeling we're gonna hit seventeen. A lot of public
Speaker 1: money on these Thursday games, although the wide you guys
Speaker 1: definitely come in and play like you talked about the
Speaker 1: Kansas City game last week. Why do you guys were
Speaker 1: all over Denver in that game, all over I mean, uh,
Speaker 1: overpowered him pretty much, you know, but they were so
Speaker 1: the Wise guys certainly aren't shy about taking some big numbers, um,
Speaker 1: no matter what data we shoul it is. And I
Speaker 1: have a feeling they might come in on Washington. But
Speaker 1: Minnesota say, that was a bad game for US uh
Speaker 1: public and really wise that money on Minnesota pushed it up.
Speaker 1: We might have going a three at one point. We
Speaker 1: finally got a little bit of money back at three,
Speaker 1: but the Wise guys were all over Minnesota. And really
Speaker 1: this team is playing really really well right now. I
Speaker 1: don't know what's gotten into Kirk Cousins because I still
Speaker 1: look at him and I'm not sure how good he is,
Speaker 1: but he's certainly playing really really well right now. And
Speaker 1: big part of it you have to look at coaching.
Speaker 1: I think got told with him a lot defense, you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of defense. Didn't stop Detroit much yesterday, but
Speaker 1: the defense is pretty good, and he's got some good weapons,
Speaker 1: you know, He's got Dalvin Cook is that digs uh
Speaker 1: you know? And even though a feeling I think he
Speaker 1: only cut one passes even though it was a great
Speaker 1: Catchler touched them. But you know, besides him, they still
Speaker 1: have other weapons. So there's a lot of things around
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins that are really helping him. And listen, you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes the quarterback has to be like a point guard
Speaker 1: and he's just distribute cabal right now, he's doing that
Speaker 1: really well. So anyway, I'm gonna open that sixteen and
Speaker 1: a half. Um. I have a feeling we'll touch seventeen
Speaker 1: at one point. But anyway, that's what I think. And
Speaker 1: by the way, that Washington game for us was really
Speaker 1: really good yesterday. He started off that was the first
Speaker 1: line or to go in and started us off on
Speaker 1: a pretty good day. Yeah. And San Francisco just basically
Speaker 1: ran out of time there at the end, uh more
Speaker 1: more or less, and had to kick a field goal
Speaker 1: or didn't even just played for a field goal. They
Speaker 1: certainly want to throw the ball around the yard when
Speaker 1: the Redskins had no time outs left. Alright, how many
Speaker 1: early Sunday games? How many late Sunday games do we
Speaker 1: have this week? I simply got let me see one.
Speaker 1: I gotta get down that my computers. Most sloger one, two, three,
Speaker 1: four or five, six, seven, eight, nine, early three late,
Speaker 1: and then the primetime games two teams on a by
Speaker 1: Dallas and Dallas and Baltimore and Buys. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: get to both of those teams. For those unfamiliar. We
Speaker 1: we go through these and well rehash yesterday's games. With
Speaker 1: lots to say about certain games. Let's do one from
Speaker 1: the morning on on Sunday, this coming Sunday. Uh, Giants
Speaker 1: at Detroit Giants at Detroit Giants yesterday lose to the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: That game got to three and a half late in
Speaker 1: favor of the Giants pre flop Yesterday. Se Kwan came
Speaker 1: back eighteen carries seventy two yards a touchdown, Daniel Jones
Speaker 1: two of thirty five to twenty three, one touchdown a pick.
Speaker 1: He was act eight times, Chris eight times by the Cardinals. Uh.
Speaker 1: The Giants were minus three in turnovers. It's their third
Speaker 1: straight loss. Pat Shermer winless and five challenges this season.
Speaker 1: I like that little note in the game. Uh, not
Speaker 1: a not doing well on challenges either. So they lose
Speaker 1: their two and five. Now Detroit, as we just mentioned,
Speaker 1: lose to the Vikings. But Matthew Stafford thirty of forty
Speaker 1: five three sixty four, four touchdowns, one pick. He was
Speaker 1: sacked two times. By the way, he's the fastest quarterback
Speaker 1: to reach forty thousand yards passing in NFL history. How
Speaker 1: about that Danny Amondola eight for one oh five catches,
Speaker 1: eight for one oh five, Marvin Jones Jr. Ten catches
Speaker 1: for ninety three yards and four count them four touchdowns
Speaker 1: for Marvin Jones and the Lions. They lose their third
Speaker 1: straight game after a two oh and one start, They're
Speaker 1: now two three and one. As everybody in Detroit can tell,
Speaker 1: it's just another year for the Lions, who are in
Speaker 1: the cellar there in the NFC North. All that said,
Speaker 1: it's at Detroit. I'll say Detroit minus six, a little
Speaker 1: white Detroit seven, and uh I see seven A couple
Speaker 1: of spots with some juice on the dog. I think
Speaker 1: seven probably the high water mark, but I think seven's
Speaker 1: okay here. You know, I really Detroit's lost a couple
Speaker 1: of heartbreakers, and as well as Minnesota played yesterday, Detroit
Speaker 1: hung in there with them. I mean, you know, I
Speaker 1: know the defense didn't do much stount in Minnesota, but
Speaker 1: their offense I thought really looked pretty good. Most of
Speaker 1: that's on Stafford, and you're talking about him being the
Speaker 1: first of forty thousand yards. A lot of that has
Speaker 1: to do with the fact that he's probably been behind
Speaker 1: most of his career, and he had the throw, you know.
Speaker 1: But he wasn't bad yesterday, and they had some pretty
Speaker 1: decent results on offense, and just the Giants looked like
Speaker 1: they're heading in the wrong direction right now, even though
Speaker 1: the Why guys pounded them pretty good yesterday. There was
Speaker 1: another very good result for us. So I am an
Speaker 1: open seven. Uh. Like I said, I think that's a
Speaker 1: high water mark. I could see where the sharp players
Speaker 1: will come in and take the Giants. But boy, I'm
Speaker 1: sure we want to take a bet at seven with
Speaker 1: these two teams. I don't have a problem with seven.
Speaker 1: I probably did go right there. Let's do one more.
Speaker 1: Excuse me, Tampa Bay at Tennessee. Geez uh, Tampa bet Tennessee.
Speaker 1: All right, let me just guess this one first before
Speaker 1: we even talk about it. This has to be three,
Speaker 1: I would imagine in favor of Tennessee. Uh Tannehill yesterday.
Speaker 1: Let me just say this about before we get to
Speaker 1: the the ending sequence of that Tennessee Jiff already rolling
Speaker 1: his eyes at this when we get to the closing
Speaker 1: sequence of that Tennessee Chargers gave yesterday the Titans Charges game.
Speaker 1: Let me just say, is Ryan Tannehill uhe twenty nine three,
Speaker 1: twelve three and twelve yards of the year, two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one pick. Now here's the thing about him. He if
Speaker 1: you watch that game, he completed a lot of passes
Speaker 1: in tight quarters. I was very impressed by him as
Speaker 1: an improvement. On Look, he's not gonna set the world
Speaker 1: on fire, Ryan Tannehill, for goodness sake, it's still him,
Speaker 1: but he was so much better to me than Marcus
Speaker 1: Mariotta was. And Marcus Mariota, who's who's primary skill is
Speaker 1: not turning the ball over. But really, Tannehill was so
Speaker 1: much more effective for them, I thought. So the end
Speaker 1: of this game yesterday between the Titans and the Charges.
Speaker 1: By the way, Tampa Bay obviously coming off a bye
Speaker 1: when last we saw them, they were in London getting
Speaker 1: beat by the Carolina Panthers, so they have extra rest here.
Speaker 1: But I'll say Tennessee minus three the the the closing
Speaker 1: sequence of that game yesterday, which was just sort of
Speaker 1: very controversial and one of these things. Where here it
Speaker 1: here it is, by the way, here's Will Brinson's tweet.
Speaker 1: Charges got to the one yard line and one got
Speaker 1: ten free seconds from Mike frabel to committed a false start.
Speaker 1: Three drew defensive p I, four got a touchdown, five
Speaker 1: had it reversed, six ran the ball again, seven fumbled,
Speaker 1: eight lost. It's a great it's a great tweet for
Speaker 1: Will Brinson. But essentially, if you missed it yesterday, UH,
Speaker 1: Jurrell Casey recovered a fumble by Melvin Gordon at the
Speaker 1: goal line with fifteen seconds left, Tennessee pulled out a
Speaker 1: victories Sunday over the Chargers after a frantic final minute.
Speaker 1: The Chargers thought they had scored the go ahead touchdown
Speaker 1: not once but twice UH in the final forty four seconds,
Speaker 1: only to lose both on review by the replay official. UH.
Speaker 1: That official also overturned Gordon being stopped on the Charges
Speaker 1: final play. Philip rivers first. The first one was the
Speaker 1: past to Austin Ekeler, took sixteen yards was ruled a touchdown,
Speaker 1: only only to be reversed by the replay official for
Speaker 1: not breaking the plane as he was tackled by Tenny mccaro,
Speaker 1: Kenny mccarlo, and Logan Ryan at the one, and then
Speaker 1: after a false start, Malcolm Butler then was flagged for
Speaker 1: defensive pass interference on Mike Williams in the end zone
Speaker 1: that gave the charges again the ball at the one.
Speaker 1: Gordon went over right tackle with thirty four seconds left
Speaker 1: for what officials ruled the one yard touchdown, and the
Speaker 1: replay officials then reversed the call for the second time
Speaker 1: in what became a run for no game that set
Speaker 1: up Gordon's final run with nineteen seconds left. Shenanigans, Chrissy, Uh,
Speaker 1: this was one of This was one of these games
Speaker 1: where if you had Tennessee, which I did. By the way, please,
Speaker 1: if I ever complain about anything else ever again, remind
Speaker 1: me of this game right, because I think the officials
Speaker 1: got it right. But the notion that all of that
Speaker 1: ended up going my way is just an unbelievable upset.
Speaker 1: If you are a Chargers fan or a Charger's backer.
Speaker 1: First of all, if your charges back or you're probably like, no,
Speaker 1: they didn't get it right multiple times, you probably thought
Speaker 1: that I would disagree with you. But if you're a
Speaker 1: Chargers fan or if you're just an observer of the Chargers.
Speaker 1: This was the most Chargers thing ever and I have
Speaker 1: said on this show, and I brought it up via
Speaker 1: Twitter yesterday. We have said on a numbers game on
Speaker 1: numerous occasions, too many to count. Philip Rivers never sneaks
Speaker 1: the football. Find me footage of any time in his
Speaker 1: career where Philip Rivers sneaks. It's almost as if it's
Speaker 1: in his contract. And yesterday to me proved that, Like,
Speaker 1: if you're not sneaking there, you're never sneaking. And uh,
Speaker 1: Tennessee gets the win. The Chargers folded two and five,
Speaker 1: Tennessees three and four. As far as this game, Tennessee
Speaker 1: minus three over Tampa Bay, I think that has to
Speaker 1: be the line. I like your number better. It's really
Speaker 1: two and a half. And I even see them two's
Speaker 1: um on this show. I'm gonna say that I'm gonna
Speaker 1: open it too and a half. But I tell you
Speaker 1: right now, I might wind up opening against three just
Speaker 1: to take a bed because I think there's hals to
Speaker 1: go to three. Uh. Tannehill was not bad yesterday. Where's
Speaker 1: my notes? The on one thing? I was impressed me
Speaker 1: guy in ten point eight yards per attempt, and that's
Speaker 1: one of the thing first things I look at. A
Speaker 1: lot of guys looked at that. Uh, that impressed me.
Speaker 1: You know, I think that he's that he learned. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know, because we he's had. It's not like
Speaker 1: some rookie that all of a sudden we're looking at
Speaker 1: for the first time. He's been around for quite a while.
Speaker 1: But he played really well yesterday. And I don't think
Speaker 1: Tennessee has all that many tools to make him that
Speaker 1: much better than he has been. But I thought he
Speaker 1: really played well. I know he's been anti Mariota for
Speaker 1: a long time, and I really probably should I should
Speaker 1: have listened to you, because I think you're definitely right.
Speaker 1: So it looks like a big improvement to me over Mariota.
Speaker 1: And why they're not a full three over Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: you know, I really don't know. So on this show
Speaker 1: right now, I'm going to say two and a half,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to think about this one. I might
Speaker 1: open three and take a bet because I think we
Speaker 1: will get the three. Uh the boy that I guess
Speaker 1: we'll get to the Chargers. They're actually the next game up.
Speaker 1: The boy, they do a lot of Chargery things. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure our friend e down and what I think,
Speaker 1: still a Charger fan, uh, just because he loves the punishment.
Speaker 1: But I'm sure I have a lot to say about that.
Speaker 1: But you're right about the sneak and uh. And I'm
Speaker 1: not sure the Revs got it right. I really thought
Speaker 1: that first one was a touchdown for sure. And how
Speaker 1: they could overrule that second one, I mean it was
Speaker 1: a massive body, you know, not right or wrong, But
Speaker 1: how can they overrule the call in the field. I
Speaker 1: just don't know. Well, we'll talk, we'll talk about it.
Speaker 1: I needed the Chargers too, so I'm sure in my opinions,
Speaker 1: a big yeah, I think we will listen. I think
Speaker 1: we all might be tainted by where our where our
Speaker 1: agenda was, where our needs were monitarily at that one.

Speaker 1: guessing lines on a numbers game at Visa. Welcome back
Speaker 1: to a numbers game with Jill Alexander. Let's bring in
Speaker 1: producing number five Jeff Parls here for a second. The
Speaker 1: end of that Tennessee l A Chargers game yesterday. What
Speaker 1: what do you think the officials got right? What do
Speaker 1: you think they got wrong? First off, precursor to this,
Speaker 1: I had Chargers in game plus three and a half.
Speaker 1: So that whole sequence, yeah, uh here's what I actually
Speaker 1: agree with, what what Chris said. I thought the first touchdown,
Speaker 1: the Echoler touchdown that was overturned, I didn't think they
Speaker 1: had a good enough angle to overturn that. I thought
Speaker 1: that should have stood on the field as a touchdown.
Speaker 1: The the first Gordon touchdown to be overturned to the
Speaker 1: second touchdown to be overturned, I thought he was down.
Speaker 1: I thought they got that one correctly. The third one,
Speaker 1: I lost the football and almost it was clearly a fumble.
Speaker 1: Darrell Casey clearly ended up with the ball, So I
Speaker 1: think they ended up getting that one current. So it
Speaker 1: was the first one. I didn't like the overturned second
Speaker 1: one they got right. Third of the balls loose, clear fumble.
Speaker 1: How about we're missing the sequence before that when the
Speaker 1: Titans had the ball and on a third down play
Speaker 1: they marked it probably way closer to the to the
Speaker 1: down marker then it should have been. And then on
Speaker 1: fourth down he may have gotten it, but they marked
Speaker 1: it short, and then Rabel didn't challenge it. I have
Speaker 1: no idea what I very didn't challenge that because I
Speaker 1: thought he I thought he got it on the fourth down,
Speaker 1: and you are right, that was it. Was fourth and inches.
Speaker 1: With the way they marked it, it should have been
Speaker 1: fourth in a holy yard and would even a yard
Speaker 1: and a few and a few inches. I wish I could.
Speaker 1: I wish there was a way to capture the audio.
Speaker 1: I was in a sports book yesterday. We didn't have
Speaker 1: the sound of the game because obviously the two other
Speaker 1: games that were going off the time, we're much more
Speaker 1: marquis and much more bet upon, the Baltimore Seattle game
Speaker 1: and of course the New Orleans Chicago game. So we
Speaker 1: were left those of us betting on this game in
Speaker 1: this frantic we don't know what the heck is going on,
Speaker 1: debate with each other at every turn. And I wish,
Speaker 1: I wish we could capture that audio and run that
Speaker 1: back today. But it was very apparent on the last one,
Speaker 1: on the last play with the fumble that Tennessee was
Speaker 1: going to win that game, because we were like, wait, no, no,
Speaker 1: that's and then we were worried, you know, I was worried,
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, does he get the do they get
Speaker 1: the ball at the one yard line? And then is
Speaker 1: are the Titans gonna take a safety? And there was
Speaker 1: like no, no, no no, it's a touchback because he got
Speaker 1: it in the end zone. So there was all minds
Speaker 1: of things that could have gone wrong, as far as
Speaker 1: the as far as the spread. But interesting that you
Speaker 1: thought you both and Chrissie believe that the first one
Speaker 1: I should not have been overturned. We didn't see the ball,
Speaker 1: but it did look like when his butt was down
Speaker 1: there couldn't have been any part of his body at
Speaker 1: the goal line. I don't know. Maybe it's my money talking,
Speaker 1: maybe it's your money telling you. Who knows. It's an
Speaker 1: interesting debate, for sure. We'll talk about it for weeks.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the next game. Chrissie, We'll bring you,
Speaker 1: We'll bring you back in here. You said the Chargers
Speaker 1: is the next game, Chargers in San Diego. And I
Speaker 1: guess you've got this message too from our friend to eat.
Speaker 1: I didn't check them. I didn't check the phone yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you got to check your message. Okay. I can only imagine, uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can probably imagine it. Anyway. We got the Chargers
Speaker 1: at Chicago, Oh, speak of the devil charge. Well, first
Speaker 1: of all rivers yesterday for the Chargers twenty four or
Speaker 1: thirty three, twenty nine, two touchdowns, no picks, but again
Speaker 1: he doesn't sneak all the Nickeler, who should be the
Speaker 1: entire Chargers offense should revolve around him, and the entrance
Speaker 1: of Melvin Gordon has screwed up everything. Seven catches, one
Speaker 1: eighteen touchdown charges of the lost three straight five of
Speaker 1: their past six. Uh. Their their offensive line was already
Speaker 1: banged up with Mike Pouncey out Russell Okun trying to
Speaker 1: work his way back. He has blood clots. But then
Speaker 1: uh Forest lamp their left guard her Nankel midway through
Speaker 1: the second quarter. He was carted off the field as well.
Speaker 1: So they are banged up on the offensive line. Chicago yesterday,
Speaker 1: And if if the ghost of Michael Lombardi was here
Speaker 1: right now, we'll have him on the show tomorrow. But
Speaker 1: this was Michael Lombardi's Citizen Kane for Mitchell Trabiski yesterday,
Speaker 1: thirty four of fifty four for two fifty one. If
Speaker 1: you look at the box score, that's what you see.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, thirty four or fifty one to fifty one,
Speaker 1: And forget thirty fifty four, forget the fact that he
Speaker 1: threw the ball fifty four times right coming off the intry.
Speaker 1: That's another matter for Matt Nagy to talk about two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: no picks. But of those two hundred and fifty one
Speaker 1: yards passing, got this one, Jeff listening to this, one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight of the two fifty one. We're
Speaker 1: in the last four minutes and twenty five seconds of
Speaker 1: the game. So really he did nothing. He said his
Speaker 1: shoulder was fine. Allen Robinson was his favorite target, ten
Speaker 1: of eighty seven for a touchdown, but they were two
Speaker 1: of twelve on third down against New Orleans. They set
Speaker 1: a franchise record, the Bears did, and I'll put record
Speaker 1: in quotes of seven carries. Seven carries, that's a franchise low.
Speaker 1: Seventeen yards rushing by far, their few as this season. Uh,
Speaker 1: And really all the fans had to cheer for was
Speaker 1: that Cordurell Patterson one hundred two yard kickoff return. The
Speaker 1: Bears gave up a season high four hundred twenty four
Speaker 1: yards and their loss to the Saints. While being held
Speaker 1: to two fifty two, they managed just four first downs
Speaker 1: through the first three quarters. Wow. So you got the
Speaker 1: Chargers coming off that loss, you got the Bears coming
Speaker 1: off that rabiscite game. And I'll just put it in
Speaker 1: no man's land between three and seven and say Bears
Speaker 1: minus five and a half, Well, you're dead on it's
Speaker 1: five and a half. I see a couple of fives.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open this five because this is the kind
Speaker 1: of game where the charges will cover. Well I win.
Speaker 1: I have no idea, but it's a kind of game.
Speaker 1: You know. We say in the NFL, you always want
Speaker 1: to buy low, sell high. We're buying low on both
Speaker 1: these teams right now. I think I mentioned I mentioned
Speaker 1: yards per temp. Really one of the first things I
Speaker 1: looked at Mr Busy four point six yards per tempt.
Speaker 1: That was a low water mark. I'm pretty sure. I
Speaker 1: had to look at my notes here. I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: that was the worst yards per tempt from any quarterback
Speaker 1: in the NFL yesterday. And he really was pitiful. And
Speaker 1: they ran the bolt seven times for seventeen yards, so
Speaker 1: he's not getting much help either. Uh, their defense is
Speaker 1: pretty good, but this is one of those games. Go
Speaker 1: this is a really good game for us. Yesterday, all
Speaker 1: the money was on the Bears, and I remember, just
Speaker 1: tell them, my god, I do not understand. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we might win or lose, God knows. I
Speaker 1: mean we lose plenty of games, Lord does. But I
Speaker 1: just did not see the attraction with the Barons. I
Speaker 1: just didn't see it. And you know, you could say, well,
Speaker 1: Petty Bridgewater is kind of fake and not really playing
Speaker 1: as well as his record indicates. You know, I get
Speaker 1: all that. But you know, and they did have a
Speaker 1: lot of injuries on New Orleans. But still you're land
Speaker 1: that many points. I mean, we closed this few five yesterday.
Speaker 1: You know, I just couldn't understand it. A matter of fact,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my sheep from last week. I like
Speaker 1: New Orleans plus the three and a half is you
Speaker 1: know what it opens? You know on the point of five. Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, look, we get I listen, I'm the
Speaker 1: first person who admit it, get a lot wrong in
Speaker 1: the National Football League, but we've sort of hit our
Speaker 1: stride in New Orleans. Is the best example of that
Speaker 1: both weeks now, both because Jacksonville last week gets the Bears. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: I had New Orleans favorite in both of those games.
Speaker 1: On guessing lines, New Orleans appears to be based on
Speaker 1: what we've seen with Philadelphia. Based on what I mean, obviously,
Speaker 1: people in Dallas and Minnesota and Green Bay and other
Speaker 1: places are gonna have something to say about it. San
Speaker 1: Francisco is undefeated, but man, it's hard to make a
Speaker 1: case that New Orleans isn't at the top of their
Speaker 1: game right now with a backup quarterback. Right, I mean there,
Speaker 1: they look fabulous on defense, they win different ways to right,
Speaker 1: they blocked a punt. I mean they're they're a well
Speaker 1: rounded team, but you know, well coached, and they've got
Speaker 1: a lot of good players, and they had some holes
Speaker 1: in the lineup yesterday with players missing, but you'd never
Speaker 1: know it, certainly by looking at the at the final score.
Speaker 1: They're world coach. They've done a good job drafting and
Speaker 1: picking up free agents, etcetera, etcetera. That's a good, good team.
Speaker 1: And anyway, we're going back to Chicago and the Chargers.
Speaker 1: I think five is what I'm gonna open. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I I kind of lean towards the Chargers in this game,
Speaker 1: as heartbreaking is that was yesterday and they did some
Speaker 1: good things, and you know, I mean, is it how
Speaker 1: long are we going to have faith in Trabisky? I
Speaker 1: think the Chicago people are getting extremely frustrated fans I'm
Speaker 1: talking about I'm not sure when management is going to
Speaker 1: start pulling the plug, but he does not look like
Speaker 1: the answer, and they traded up and after him number
Speaker 1: two overall. I mean, even at that time, I was
Speaker 1: not sure why that was. He just had a very
Speaker 1: brief career in North Carolina and I didn't think it
Speaker 1: was all that great. But somehow the Scalps, you know,
Speaker 1: fell in love with them. And you know that that
Speaker 1: seems to happen every year with a lot of quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: and that's how we get a lot of bus out
Speaker 1: of the potion round quarterbacks. And that's not that's not
Speaker 1: armchair quarterback. And we said it that day, like, how
Speaker 1: are you DeShawn Watson, who he saw win a national championship?
Speaker 1: Right Like it just made no sense anyway. Uh so
Speaker 1: you're opening five on that. I'm gonna open five, you know,
Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you a kind of lean towards
Speaker 1: the Chargers in this one. I do think I do
Speaker 1: think that was the game yesterday that might have been
Speaker 1: the tipping point for a lot of Trabinsky apologists to
Speaker 1: sort of doing about face yesterday. I have a feeling
Speaker 1: three excuse me, four first downs in the first three
Speaker 1: quarters against a good defense, for sure, But yeah, no,
Speaker 1: seven carry seventeen yards again of a Troubinskys too hundred
Speaker 1: and uh fifty fifty one yards passing. One hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty eight of them were the last four minutes and
Speaker 1: seconds of that game, so he had one thirteen yards
Speaker 1: passing for almost that entire football game. To the flurry
Speaker 1: at the end, Let's do one more here before the break, Chris, Okay, Well,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be not much to stalk about here Seattle
Speaker 1: and at Atlanta, and we don't know about Matt Ryan.
Speaker 1: And uh uh, you know, I see one number up.
Speaker 1: I'm not even sure it's an active number, but I
Speaker 1: see one number right now, and it's gonna be hard
Speaker 1: to make that out. Matt Ryan. Matt Shaubs, the back up,
Speaker 1: a nice veteran, played really well yesterday. That pretty big
Speaker 1: difference between Shaub and Ryan, and I don't think you'll
Speaker 1: see any numbers on this game until we get a
Speaker 1: little bit better of an update on Matt ran All right.
Speaker 1: Ryan's right leg, for those who missed it, bent awkwardly
Speaker 1: when he was sacked by Errol Aaron Donald fourth quarter
Speaker 1: of that game yesterday. He fumbled, Donald recovered, Ryan limped
Speaker 1: off the field. He was escorted to the medical tent
Speaker 1: and then he was walked to the locker room, still
Speaker 1: favoring the ankle. That was with seven thirty six remaining
Speaker 1: in the game. Dan Quinn. Head coach Dan Quinn said
Speaker 1: he did not know the severity of Ryan's injury. Ryan
Speaker 1: wore a walking boot in the locker room. That was
Speaker 1: in Atlanta's loss yesterday. Um was a final and at
Speaker 1: thirty seven to ten with a cosmetic touchdown there they
Speaker 1: have thirty seven to ten Falcons one in six or
Speaker 1: fifth straight loss. So, if it's Ryan or it's Shaw,
Speaker 1: Shaw was six for six, I think in relief. If
Speaker 1: it was Ryan, I would say Seattle minus four on
Speaker 1: the road. If it's Shab it's probably closer to a touchdown.
Speaker 1: But as you say that, we don't have anything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just too big of a disparity right now. Nobody wants
Speaker 1: to put that out there, including me. I don't want
Speaker 1: to put it out there until I find out a
Speaker 1: little bit more. It's like it's a Shaw mice packed up.
Speaker 1: But come on, I mean, you know, as much as
Speaker 1: Atlanta's had their problems this year, it's not really starting
Speaker 1: with Matt Ryan. I mean, he's still a pretty good quarterback.
Speaker 1: They have a lot of other problems on this team,
Speaker 1: but Matt Ryan is not the main cult group you
Speaker 1: brought up our the moments ago, and I will check
Speaker 1: the phone in a moment see what he has to say.
Speaker 1: But you know one of his big pet peeves over
Speaker 1: the years. He's a guy at Southern California, so he's
Speaker 1: watched Pete Carroll intimately at USC and beyond. He is
Speaker 1: not a fan understatement, not a fan of Pete Carroll.
Speaker 1: Seattle loses to Baltimore yesterday. Uh they do so by
Speaker 1: the score of thirty to sixteen UM in a game
Speaker 1: that was really marked by two defensive touchdowns for the Ravens.
Speaker 1: That was the difference, a rare Russell Wilson mistake of
Speaker 1: pick six that Marcus Peters in his first game for
Speaker 1: the Ravens, takes back to the house. And then there
Speaker 1: was a dk Metcalf fumble that was returned for a
Speaker 1: touchdown with three forty seven left in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: that made it a seventeen point game and really closed
Speaker 1: the door on the Seahawks. But think about Pete Carroll.
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll UM. Basically this is FeliCa said this yesterday
Speaker 1: to be a textic goes Beete. Carroll couldn't stop the
Speaker 1: eighty five Sooner's offense yesterday, right like that was just
Speaker 1: you know, he's supposed to be a defensive genius. There
Speaker 1: was no spy, there was no rushed discipline. And think
Speaker 1: about the different things that happened in that game too.
Speaker 1: He kicks a fifty three yard field goal and pouring
Speaker 1: rain on fourth and three at the Baltimore thirty five
Speaker 1: and thirteen thirteen tie with six fifty one left in
Speaker 1: the third quarter. Bad decision. He challenged a p I
Speaker 1: and lost. Of course, was out of timeouts midway through
Speaker 1: the second quarter, um on and on and on and
Speaker 1: so you know, we we talked about handicapping coaches. Pat
Speaker 1: Carroll is like not on my good list at all,
Speaker 1: and I think he's on a lot of people's good lists.
Speaker 1: So I think that he's one of these coaches that
Speaker 1: people are very have very different opinions on. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: you talked about those five for for Seattle and Jackson
Speaker 1: at fourteen carries for a hundred and sixteen yards. Man,
Speaker 1: he's on at some point you have to make an adjustment,
Speaker 1: don't you. And by the way, that's not that big
Speaker 1: of anabiration. The guy is, you know, arguably the best
Speaker 1: running quarterback in the NFL. I mean, we can make
Speaker 1: that kids. But I mean, come on, here's what you
Speaker 1: Davian Clowney said after the game quote, I always wanted
Speaker 1: to play against Michael Vick. I guess I'm getting the
Speaker 1: new era with Lamar Jackson right there. And Jeff, what
Speaker 1: did you say before the off air? What did you
Speaker 1: say he's a better runner than Vick was? Oh my,
Speaker 1: he's a better runner. And that's and and I'm not
Speaker 1: remember I remember my pearls. How good? There were multiple
Speaker 1: plays yesterday that we're should have been losses of seven,
Speaker 1: losses of eight that he turned in the fifteen twenty
Speaker 1: five yards. He was incredible running the ball yesterday. Yeah
Speaker 1: he was. I mean, but man, Michael Vick generational. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, I mean, it was phenomenal. But but you
Speaker 1: so no line basically what you're saying here seatland Atlanta
Speaker 1: because of the line, Like I said, I see one
Speaker 1: line at three and a. But I'm not sure that's
Speaker 1: an active line. You know, sometimes by screen doesn't put
Speaker 1: updates when they just scratch a me I'm not sure
Speaker 1: that's an active line or not. All right, we'll come back,
Speaker 1: but you know, is he better than Michael Vickors. That's
Speaker 1: that's easy easy anybody Like I said, he's arguably the
Speaker 1: best running quarterback in the NFL. Right now, were making
Speaker 1: adjustment for forget making an adjustment. You should have known
Speaker 1: before the game that was going to be part of it.
Speaker 1: You know that was curious. We'll come back. We'll continue
Speaker 1: more guessing lines weeked. Um, we'll talk a little baseball
Speaker 1: here in the break, and then we'll resume week eight
Speaker 1: lines after that. Um, we'll also talk of course tomorrow

Speaker 1: Why didn't Fable challenge Spot? I said no clue whatsoever.
Speaker 1: It's as if the refs told him he had no
Speaker 1: chance at a reversal. Again, I'm just speculating, like I
Speaker 1: have no idea. Why why ate the what the flag?
Speaker 1: And then our buddy E would uh Chrissie was referring
Speaker 1: to Uh. He said, Uh, I'm no longer a Chargers fan.
Speaker 1: They deserve all of this bad carbon more and they
Speaker 1: employ a coach who couldn't coach a high school diadlywigs team.
Speaker 1: So he feels he feels strongly about Anthony lynn Um.
Speaker 1: And he also points out that everyone in San Diego
Speaker 1: hate roots against them and Spanos. He says he respects Rivers,
Speaker 1: doesn't want to see him get hurt, and he was.
Speaker 1: In fact he was. He was the first one I
Speaker 1: ever to talk about the Rivers. No sneak thing. Find
Speaker 1: me footage of Philip Rivers game. It doesn't exist. Chrissie,
Speaker 1: let's do one more. Okay, Jets, we're playing tonight at Jacksonville. Okay,
Speaker 1: so Jets unseen here sight unseen they are. By the way,
Speaker 1: I got the Jets tonight catching the nine. I'll take
Speaker 1: the Jets tonight. I think I think they cover that. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, always you gotta always take a big gulp
Speaker 1: when you're facing the Patriots. But I will take the
Speaker 1: Jets tonight. So Jacksonville. They win yesterday in a tight
Speaker 1: game yesterday for most of the afternoon, but then they
Speaker 1: pulled away from Cincinnati late. They went at seventeen and
Speaker 1: cover three interceptions by the Jags in the fourth quarter
Speaker 1: defensive touchdown. The Jags managed only field goals by uh
Speaker 1: the still perfect Josh Lambo through three quarters. They piled
Speaker 1: up three nine yards in the first half but had
Speaker 1: to settle for just two field goals, So that game
Speaker 1: probably should have been a lot wider of a margin
Speaker 1: than it was. Leonard Fournett thirty one d d Westbrook,
Speaker 1: six catches, one oh three. They outgained Cincinnati four out
Speaker 1: rushed Cincinnati the two sixteen thirty three. By the way,
Speaker 1: all of those yards from Andy Dalton will get to them.
Speaker 1: Eleven penalties for one thirty three. They did, uh, make
Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes there with flags. So I'll say
Speaker 1: Jacksonville minus three and a half as a placeholder, you're
Speaker 1: a little like four and a half. And I'm not
Speaker 1: sure you know. Um. First of all, we'll see tonight again. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll see tonight. But a lot of money did show
Speaker 1: on jackson Bill yesterday, uh and throughout the week, and
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, sharp money and public money,
Speaker 1: you know. And Mitchew was okay. It wasn't great, he
Speaker 1: was okay. His QBR thirty three point six, which I
Speaker 1: was surprised it was that low. Uh. He had one touchdown,
Speaker 1: no interceptions, eight yards per attempt, So it's really kind
Speaker 1: of surprised that the QBR was out there. I don't know,
Speaker 1: QBR is one of those. I like looking at it because,
Speaker 1: like I said, it gives you a different glimpse at
Speaker 1: some statistics, but I'm not sure what all goes into
Speaker 1: that formula. Anyway, I really thought four that was a
Speaker 1: key to that game. He had a hundred thirty one
Speaker 1: yards himself rushing. The rushed to to sixteen total. Or
Speaker 1: Cincinnati had thirty three yards on the ground, holy count,
Speaker 1: and they ran twenty times. The rest of them had
Speaker 1: zero yards. Yeah, yeah, so I mean that I really
Speaker 1: thought that was really the key to the game. And
Speaker 1: you're You're right, it probably should have been by a
Speaker 1: wider margin, you know. I mean, everybody knocks dolt. It
Speaker 1: probably deserves quite a big But I think if he
Speaker 1: had a better team, you'd probably see a better result
Speaker 1: on it him. But anyway, I yeah, I'm probably gonna
Speaker 1: open four and a half here as a placeholder, just
Speaker 1: because I want to see the Jets. Student. I have
Speaker 1: the Jets myself in a couple of contests. Um, I
Speaker 1: expect them to play well, can I, and if they do,
Speaker 1: that number will come down. But you know, why do
Speaker 1: guys love Jacksonville. They've been in love with them for
Speaker 1: like the last two decades. It seems like, you know
Speaker 1: something open four and a half again as a placeholder.
Speaker 1: But if the Jets play well to night, and I
Speaker 1: kind of think they will, I think this number probably
Speaker 1: come down. Remember we talked about how well guessing lines
Speaker 1: we've had New Orleans better than the market did the
Speaker 1: last two weeks. I had him favored the last two weeks.
Speaker 1: We talked about how that Miami line was ridiculous last week.
Speaker 1: I my guest on Jacksonville last week was the biggest
Speaker 1: difference between my guests and what the market was at
Speaker 1: Jacksonville minus five and a half. It ended up being
Speaker 1: like minus three and a half or whatever was Jacksonville
Speaker 1: gets it done. So we'll see how the Jets do
Speaker 1: tonight and then that line will of course be more
Speaker 1: appropriately calibrated. We'll come back with Chris Andrews on a
Speaker 1: numbers game exclusively right here at Visa. It's a numbers game,
Speaker 1: kil Alexander. Believe in our number two guessing lines we

Speaker 1: So let's clean up some things. One on Twitter, I
Speaker 1: have said out loud many times, find me a Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers snake. Warren Sharp has done just that, So thank
Speaker 1: you to Shy City Brian for pointing this out. Warren
Speaker 1: Sharp says says that he's seen one video one of
Speaker 1: a Philip Rivers snake. Yes, Parlay you you remember this.
Speaker 1: So here's what Warren had to say. Since Rivers only
Speaker 1: has seven rushes and short yard of situations, Warren saying,
Speaker 1: I went back to and watched all seven. Only one
Speaker 1: of them was an actual quarterback sneak and he converted
Speaker 1: it for a first down technically a conversion rate on steakes,
Speaker 1: but it was his only conversion one, so he did
Speaker 1: find one. So I stand corrected. How dare you? But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the But the point is, the point remains. It's
Speaker 1: like it's in his contract. It's as if it's in
Speaker 1: his contracty no, no snakes. They didn't consider yesterday with you.
Speaker 1: All right, Chrissy, Let's let's resume a week eight. Let's
Speaker 1: uh do the rest of the early games. What's next?
Speaker 1: Philadelphia ad Buffalo? All right? Um, this is not an
Speaker 1: easy line to guess, by the way, Uh, Philadelphia got
Speaker 1: housed last night, and you know, look, I that was
Speaker 1: one of those where it I didn't end up playing it,
Speaker 1: but that was one of those on guessing lines might
Speaker 1: have been the exception. That one was the one where
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, I don't think Dallas deserves to
Speaker 1: be a three point favorite here. So let me just
Speaker 1: raise my hand this one. My first instinct was wrong.
Speaker 1: Philadelphia got destroyed last night thirty seven to ten. Dallas
Speaker 1: had their tackles back. Uh, they had a Marii Cooper back.
Speaker 1: Of course, they were kind of that the old full strength,
Speaker 1: to use the hockey term, and uh, it was just destruction.
Speaker 1: Carson went sixteen twenty six for one touchdown, one pick.
Speaker 1: He threw a pick and had two of Philadelphia's tow
Speaker 1: of Philadelphias three lost fumbles, also from Carson Wentz. They
Speaker 1: dropped their second straight game after two game winning streak.
Speaker 1: Was just the second time in thirty three winning flips
Speaker 1: coin flips that is that Doug Peterson hadn't deferred in
Speaker 1: order to start the second half on offense, and it
Speaker 1: backfired immediately when the Eagles fumbled on their first two possessions,
Speaker 1: led to a pair of touchdowns from the Cowboys. It
Speaker 1: was fourteen to nothing. The Cowboys started with the ball
Speaker 1: on the Eagles side of the field twice in a row,
Speaker 1: fourteen and nothing before you could blink um. By the way,
Speaker 1: before that, Dallas was the only team in the NFL
Speaker 1: that hadn't started any drive on the the opposite side
Speaker 1: of the field. But the Eagles allowed Zeke twenty two
Speaker 1: of one eleven and a touchdown one eleven and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Dallas finished with a hundred eighty nine yards of rushing,
Speaker 1: a hundred sixteen more than the average that Philly had
Speaker 1: given up before Amari Cooper five catches one oh six um.
Speaker 1: Dallas was eight of fourteen on third down four hundred
Speaker 1: two yards of offense. The Eagles were minus three in turnovers.
Speaker 1: They allowed Dallas uh to snap their three game losing streak. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Philli help. He was terrible and a couple and last
Speaker 1: week I was talking about, like, who are the great
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL? And I threw Carson Wentz into
Speaker 1: that group. I'm not so sure I need. I think
Speaker 1: I have to remove him like as quickly as I
Speaker 1: put as I put him in there, because I'm not
Speaker 1: sure this is the pre injury WinCE we're seeing at all.
Speaker 1: And then there's Buffalo, who not only was that incredulous
Speaker 1: about the line against the Dolphins, you know a week
Speaker 1: ago because I had at fourteen and I think or
Speaker 1: fourteen a half and it end up being seventeen, but
Speaker 1: when it when they switched from Josh Rosen to Ryan
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick midweek and it didn't move. This was the dumbest
Speaker 1: line of the week on the Bills. They end up
Speaker 1: winning by ten. By the way, the Dolphins did everything
Speaker 1: in their power to try to get the worst push
Speaker 1: ever on that with a late fumble, but Buffalo, uh,
Speaker 1: they get it done. Jordan Phillips big play when he
Speaker 1: tackled Ryan Fitzpatrick for a ten yard loss on first
Speaker 1: and goal from the Buffalo to Miami first and goal
Speaker 1: from the Buffalo two, and that was one play later
Speaker 1: Davis White made a pick at the two to spark
Speaker 1: a second half comeback. The Bills rallied from a five
Speaker 1: point deficit to the Dolphins yesterday for a thirty one
Speaker 1: win their five and one it's their best starting eleven
Speaker 1: years um. But they didn't see it until Michael Hyde
Speaker 1: with one thirty eight remaining in the game. I returned
Speaker 1: an onside kick for a touchdown one play after Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: get scored. Josh Allen did have one nice drive twelve played,
Speaker 1: ninety eight yard drive that followed White's interception. So this
Speaker 1: is a strange line to make Philly at Buffalo because
Speaker 1: you know, Philly was terrible, Buffalo was, you know, okay,
Speaker 1: and victory against the Dolphins. Some might even say not
Speaker 1: good at all. So is it three? I'll say Buffalo
Speaker 1: minus two and a half. It's one and a half.
Speaker 1: And I like that number better than yours. And I
Speaker 1: got to tell you right now. I mean we talk
Speaker 1: about it, you know, not all the time, but often
Speaker 1: on this show. The NFL is all about buying low
Speaker 1: and selling high. It's not like you're selling Buffalo high,
Speaker 1: but you are buying Philly low right now. And they
Speaker 1: looked they looked awful yesterday. I mean, let's be honest,
Speaker 1: they looked awful on National TV. That is always gonna
Speaker 1: just sway the public opinion right there. I'm gonna open
Speaker 1: one and a half. But I really kind of like
Speaker 1: Philly in this spot. Um, you know, whence I'm kind
Speaker 1: of with you, Gil, I probably would have had him
Speaker 1: among the best quarterbacks in the league. But I'm not
Speaker 1: sure where to put him now. I mean, he was
Speaker 1: responsible for three turnovers yesterday, two fumbles and an interception,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, is that an admiration or not.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure, to be quite honest with you,
Speaker 1: but I do think the rest of the team is
Speaker 1: pretty good, and I think I'm sketch right. I do
Speaker 1: think they're still a legitimate challenger. And now it's gonna
Speaker 1: be very hard to get a record right now to
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, but I do think they're a challenger
Speaker 1: to to the best teams in the NFC. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: open one and after I gotta tell you right now,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of leaning towards Philly in this game, and
Speaker 1: I think they're just not as bad as they looked
Speaker 1: last night. It would not surprise me one iota if
Speaker 1: Philadelphia won't this game, handling right like it's just the NFL.
Speaker 1: This is a matchup could go. It wouldn't surprise me
Speaker 1: if Buffalo did the same, right. This is one of
Speaker 1: these This might be the answer to the question which
Speaker 1: game do I want no part of next week? This
Speaker 1: might be that game. Next Well, we've got a few
Speaker 1: more coming up, so ye, don't hold me to that yet. Okay,
Speaker 1: Cincinnati at the Ranch. That's a London game, correct, Oh,
Speaker 1: yes it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Cincinnati at the Rams. Cincinnati winless o and six. We
Speaker 1: talked about it. They uh they lost yesterday once again.
Speaker 1: They did to Jacksonville, kept with him for a while,
Speaker 1: probably should have been down further, but they hung tied
Speaker 1: and then they got crushed at the end. Uh Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton two of forty three to seventy six, one touchdown,
Speaker 1: three picks. He had four carries for thirty three yards
Speaker 1: in a touchdown. The reason I point that out is
Speaker 1: because the rest of the Bengals had sixteen carries for
Speaker 1: zero yards. Sixteen carries for zero yards. Alex Rickson, by
Speaker 1: the way, was his favorite target, eight for one thirty seven.
Speaker 1: They were out gained by Jacksonville four six ninety one.
Speaker 1: They were out rushed by Jacksonville two sixteen three to
Speaker 1: thirty three minus four in turnovers. They only had the
Speaker 1: ball for twenty one minutes and forty two seconds. They
Speaker 1: fall to o and seven for the first time in
Speaker 1: eleven years. Sooner they're owing six or seven or own six.
Speaker 1: One are the one are the Bengals. They won seven
Speaker 1: oh and seven, so they fall to oh and seven
Speaker 1: for the first time in eleven years. Excuse me. They
Speaker 1: were booed repeatedly by their home crowds, so maybe they're
Speaker 1: happy to go to London. Um, here's some stuff. Miles
Speaker 1: jack picked off Dalton at the Jacksonville ten to preserve
Speaker 1: the late lead. Uh, Yannick, Uh is am I pronouncing
Speaker 1: that correctly? Gockway, I'm sorry, Yannick and Golockway his interception
Speaker 1: return of a floating screen pass put it away when
Speaker 1: in Gockway. Here's here's what I wanted to point out
Speaker 1: about in Gockway when he saw Giovanni Bernard in the game.
Speaker 1: This is what he said after the game. He said
Speaker 1: he figured Cincinnati was going to throw a screen pass
Speaker 1: and got on position to pick it off. Quote. I
Speaker 1: noticed when Bernard was in the game, they were looking
Speaker 1: to pass, and when it was Joe Mix and they
Speaker 1: were looking to run, So I thought it was going
Speaker 1: to be a screen So efforts that simple. Uh, it
Speaker 1: sells you something about the Cincinnati Bengals. Right there by
Speaker 1: the way first five possessions of the game, the Bengals
Speaker 1: ran eighteen blaze and managed twenty yards your Cincinnata Bengals
Speaker 1: the Rams when Jared Goff two touchdowns ran for another.
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey's addition to the secondary worked out well yesterday.
Speaker 1: The defense enjoyed the productive day five sacks, a pick,
Speaker 1: a fumble return for a touchdown against the Falcons. Ramsey
Speaker 1: uh blanketed Julio Jones kept into six catch is for
Speaker 1: ninety three yards, so that worked out well. First returns.
Speaker 1: Rams are gonna stay in Atlanta. For those wondering about
Speaker 1: travel here, Rams are gonna stay in Atlanta to practice
Speaker 1: at Georgia Tech for a few days before flying into
Speaker 1: London for the game against the Bengals. Because it's in London.
Speaker 1: We've talked about this before. It mutes what otherwise would
Speaker 1: be a bigger spread to me because the travel sort
Speaker 1: of mitigates it. So I will put it just shy
Speaker 1: of two touchdowns as opposed to two touchdowns are greater.
Speaker 1: I'll say Rams minus thirteen. Uh, it's twelve and a
Speaker 1: half or thirteen. I might be more proud of about
Speaker 1: that guest than anything. Yeah, that's a very good guests.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open twelve and a half. You know, I
Speaker 1: think this game will be a little closer than the
Speaker 1: third team. Can you kind of mentioned that it mitigates
Speaker 1: a lot of the high scoring and the bloilout factor.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I'm not sure that's always true good sometimes, But
Speaker 1: we're talking about some bad coaches. Zach Taylor. Is that
Speaker 1: the guy's just in Sinnati? Look, yeah, oh my god,
Speaker 1: where did they get this guy? I mean, he is
Speaker 1: so bad. You know, he is just totally clueless. And
Speaker 1: like I said, if you have guys on the defensive
Speaker 1: lineman are reading plays like you know, come on, how
Speaker 1: simple an explanation? Right? Yeah? Yeah? And I mean I listen.
Speaker 1: The Brown family, who has owned the Bengals since their inception,
Speaker 1: is notoriously cheap, and they have taken the city of
Speaker 1: Cincinnati for a ride for low these many years. And
Speaker 1: I think this is just one more case. They found
Speaker 1: a kid that they you know, probably interviewed well and
Speaker 1: had some people recommend him. He is not ready to
Speaker 1: be an NFL coach. And I think there's some guys
Speaker 1: that grow into their positions, certainly the case, and other
Speaker 1: guys that just don't have it. So far, I see
Speaker 1: nothing to tell me that this guy havn't you know,
Speaker 1: I'm going off on this tirade and I'm still open
Speaker 1: twelve and it happen instead of thirteen. It's kind of
Speaker 1: both numbers out there, but I'm gonna open twelve and
Speaker 1: a half just because I just think thirteen is a
Speaker 1: little too high in this spot. And again, you're you're
Speaker 1: buying low on Cincinnati selling high a little bit on
Speaker 1: the Rams, and I think this number is a little
Speaker 1: bit out of hand. I wouldn't go crazy over it,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna open twelve and half instead of thirteen.
Speaker 1: And there are both numbers around, but I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with the lower number. Chrisie, has there been anything yet
Speaker 1: on the show that I've been like, what was the
Speaker 1: I guess Minnesota Washington is the one I was the
Speaker 1: furthest off from. But even that doesn't really excite me
Speaker 1: that much. Um, But nothing yet that leaps off the page.
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering if we're gonna get to it, which one,
Speaker 1: Jeff I was gonna say, where I think we're on
Speaker 1: our way to get you predicted? You predict I'm gonna
Speaker 1: fall flat on my face. Well, maybe that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: Guess it's been the last couple of weeks. What's next,
Speaker 1: Chris Arizona at New Orleans Arizona and looks just say, yeah,
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is upgraded to questionable and so is the
Speaker 1: Alvin for yeah. I mean, let's remember that about the
Speaker 1: New Orleans win yesterday. I think you point that's a
Speaker 1: good thing to point out. There was no Alvin Kamara, right,
Speaker 1: and there was no Jared Cook, Alvin Kamara with an
Speaker 1: ankle and knee, Jared Cook with an ankle. So Teddy
Speaker 1: Bridgewater didn't have them at his disposal yesterday, and they
Speaker 1: still crushed the Bears. The Saints go to five and
Speaker 1: oh without Drew Brees in their thirty six to twenty
Speaker 1: five win over the Bears, which, by the way, that score,
Speaker 1: in case you're wondering, very cosmetic. It was helped along
Speaker 1: by an onside kick late. Um it was. It was
Speaker 1: much more of a blowout than that. Latavia's Murray carries
Speaker 1: a d nine yards too touchdowns. Teddy Bridgewater Teddy Bear
Speaker 1: twenty three or thirty eight for two eight one two
Speaker 1: touchdowns note picks Michael Thomas nine catches, one thirty one.
Speaker 1: The Saints were seven of fifteen on third down out
Speaker 1: gained the Bears, as we mentioned, fifty two on the
Speaker 1: ground they outgained him one fifty one to seventeen, and
Speaker 1: again a time of possession mismatch thirty seven six thirty four.
Speaker 1: As far as the Cardinals who beat the Giants and
Speaker 1: did so as three and a half point dogs in
Speaker 1: the end, Kyler Murray. The up and down first year
Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray continues. Fourteen of twenty one for one
Speaker 1: oh four, no touchdowns, no picks. Did you have Chase
Speaker 1: Edmonds going in your fantasy league? Chase Edmonds twenty seven
Speaker 1: carries for one six and three touchdowns. Cardinals were seven
Speaker 1: of fifteen on third down. They were one for one
Speaker 1: on fourth downs. I mean that's been Kyler Murray's thing
Speaker 1: third downs. He is been really good. Ten penalties though
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals for eighty five yards. They were plus
Speaker 1: three in turnovers versus the Giants. Their third straight win.
Speaker 1: They were oh three and one now they're three three
Speaker 1: in one. They had eight sacks, as I mentioned of
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, four of them in a forced fumble from
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones. Um that's said, because you're right, Drew Brees
Speaker 1: I even mentioned this last week Drew Brees was thinking about,
Speaker 1: or at least the Saints have been floating through reports
Speaker 1: anyway that Breeze might want to come act for this game,
Speaker 1: which is right before their bye week, when most would
Speaker 1: have sort of assumed they'll just wait him out through
Speaker 1: the bye week. And Drew Brees says he hasn't told
Speaker 1: anybody yet. He's said to people, I know when I'm
Speaker 1: coming back. So this could very well be Drew Brees.
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll be Teddy Barry again. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: I'll say New Orleans by two touchdowns here at the
Speaker 1: super Dome. Wow, you're a little high. It's the nine
Speaker 1: nine and a half? Really yeah, I will lay that
Speaker 1: all day long. I'm kind of with you and this one. Now,
Speaker 1: they they numbers up with or without Drew Brees, and
Speaker 1: you know, I believe these are accurate numbers. I mean,
Speaker 1: like I said, sometimes on my screen, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if they scratch scratch the game on my screen? How
Speaker 1: is that only nine? But not in a half of that.
Speaker 1: I don't give me the Saints. Give me the Saints
Speaker 1: with you him for what it's worth. Gil. One other
Speaker 1: shop in town open the seven and a half, you'd
Speaker 1: stop it, so no, I'm just I'm just saying this
Speaker 1: open at seven and a half of the other places
Speaker 1: in town. Chris, what ligam we're watching here? What's going
Speaker 1: on here? Well? You know, I've been anti Murray really
Speaker 1: thin today one and you know, he's been much much
Speaker 1: better than I anticipated, much better. I'll give him that.
Speaker 1: But so is New Orleans. I mean New Orleans. Like
Speaker 1: I said yesterday, a lot of wise guy money showed up,
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm not sure it was really on Chicago
Speaker 1: as much it was against New Orleans because of their injuries. Um,
Speaker 1: but this team has proven to be really, really good
Speaker 1: and I have one very short better. I don't want
Speaker 1: to mention his name, but a lot of people would
Speaker 1: though exactly who it is who bet me on the
Speaker 1: Saints to win the NFC. He had a pretty good
Speaker 1: price on him, and he bet me on that. But
Speaker 1: I think he might be right. I think this might
Speaker 1: be the best team in the NFC. He might be
Speaker 1: uh And we've and we've been seeing this without Drew Breenes,
Speaker 1: you know, a Hall of Fame quarterback. I'm gonna open
Speaker 1: ten and listen, listen, you never know what goes through
Speaker 1: the mind of a guy who's a competitive as Drew
Speaker 1: Brees's forty years old, still playing pretty good football. So
Speaker 1: I don't want to question, like I said, the personality,
Speaker 1: the you know, what made him what he is today.
Speaker 1: But they're nuts that they play in this game, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I would go with Teddy, you know, I
Speaker 1: don't think they would need him to win this game.
Speaker 1: Teddy is doing just fine. He's not he's not Drew
Speaker 1: Brees yet, you know, but he's doing this fine. And
Speaker 1: you know, give Breese the extra week off and uh
Speaker 1: and then you've got to buy after that. So you
Speaker 1: know you're gonna get a healthy Breeds coming back. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open this game ten and we'll see where they
Speaker 1: go from there. Yeah, they're doing it with offense, they're
Speaker 1: doing it with defense, they're doing with special teams. Well
Speaker 1: rounded football team. And that's and that's the first headline
Speaker 1: line of today, that's for sure, because I think that's
Speaker 1: a really well coached and really home coached. Absolutely, let's
Speaker 1: do the last early game. The Oakland had Houston Oakland
Speaker 1: and Houston, UM Houston who we mentioned or maybe we
Speaker 1: didn't mention Houston yesterday they lose to the Indianapolis Colts
Speaker 1: in what was probably the biggest game of the day
Speaker 1: just in terms of a divisional game. Uh, Indianapolis with
Speaker 1: a thirty to twenty three win. Houston, for their part,
Speaker 1: let's just focus on them. Deshaun Watson twenty three thirty four,
Speaker 1: three oh eight, one touchdown, two picks, sacked three times.
Speaker 1: How many times have we said the Deshaun Watson retroactive
Speaker 1: box score? And you could say this about a lot
Speaker 1: of guys, but it's really stark when it comes to Watson.
Speaker 1: When he is clean, they win. When he is not,
Speaker 1: it tends to be multiple sacks. So we get three
Speaker 1: here for Deshaun Watson. UH. DeAndre Hopkins nine catches, one
Speaker 1: oh six for a touchdown, Stills four catches for one
Speaker 1: oh five. But uh, the Texans ten penalties fifty four yards.
Speaker 1: They were held the field goals on three red zone
Speaker 1: trips in the first half, had to contend with a
Speaker 1: rare in the grasp call that took one touchdown off
Speaker 1: the board, overturned replay review that put another one on
Speaker 1: the board for Indie, and the plethora of penalties. As
Speaker 1: I mentioned, fourth quarter, Houston started it by failing to
Speaker 1: convert a second fourth in one attempt, then to Shawn
Speaker 1: through an interception on the Texans next series, before Darius
Speaker 1: Leonard sealed the win by picking off a tip pass
Speaker 1: with twenty six seconds left. So Houston loses. They dropped
Speaker 1: to four and three. Oakland. Um. Look, the end of
Speaker 1: that first half was everything in that game, everything right,
Speaker 1: and and Derek Carr has done this before. It's the old.
Speaker 1: It's the old reach over the goal line to try
Speaker 1: to get a touchdown and the ball gets loses possession.
Speaker 1: It goes through the end zone, doesn't you know, fumble
Speaker 1: out of bounds in play on the field, on the
Speaker 1: playing field, but through the end zone. And the NFL rule,
Speaker 1: which to me is the dumbest rule in sports, gives
Speaker 1: the ball to the opposing team. I do not understand
Speaker 1: the logic of that, because you are incentivised to reach over,
Speaker 1: and if you're incentivized to reach over the Drew Brees
Speaker 1: wave kind of thing, then that does it just get
Speaker 1: the ball, give the give the Saints, excuse me, give
Speaker 1: the Raiders the ball back of the twenty or something,
Speaker 1: but to it change possession. It's just a rule that
Speaker 1: makes no sense to me, so Derek Carr. Instead of
Speaker 1: the Raiders making this a close game, they're down fourteen
Speaker 1: ten at the time, and Car puts them a position
Speaker 1: to retake the lead with the forty eight yard completion
Speaker 1: down the middle to Waller gave Oakland first and goal
Speaker 1: at the four. The second down scrambled them by Car
Speaker 1: at the pylon um Blake Martinez forces the fumble, goes
Speaker 1: through the end zone for a touchback. The next time
Speaker 1: Oakland basically got the ball, they did get one play
Speaker 1: because this is with seconds left, because immediately green Bay
Speaker 1: goes down and scores with seconds left in the first half,
Speaker 1: so instead of it being seventeen fourteen Raiders, it's one
Speaker 1: ten Packers. The Raiders have only time for one nonsense play.
Speaker 1: At the end of the first half, green Bay gets
Speaker 1: the ball first and the second they score again. It's
Speaker 1: a seventeen fourteen shift seventeen fourteen Raiders Packers. That's the game.
Speaker 1: It's over and the Raiders fall to three and three.
Speaker 1: I'll say Houston by six at Houston, do a little
Speaker 1: light at six and a half, and boy, I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what I was. You know, it was not a
Speaker 1: big game for the South Point. You know, we were
Speaker 1: pretty even on that. Uh, the early money was on
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Late money came back on the Packers, so
Speaker 1: we were pretty much dead even on the games. But
Speaker 1: I had opened and a couple of contests, so I
Speaker 1: was really Prokland. I wanted to kill car. I mean,
Speaker 1: I hate that play. And we had to debate the
Speaker 1: rule all you want. I mean, that's not the point.
Speaker 1: The point is that is the rule. Yeah, and he
Speaker 1: did it last year and again, by the way, it's
Speaker 1: with his off hand, which is with his left hand,
Speaker 1: and you just assume that his right hand is gonna
Speaker 1: be a little stronger, so it's a left hand that
Speaker 1: he's reaching over like that. And remember last year he
Speaker 1: said after a game, somebody asking would you do that again?
Speaker 1: I would do it the exact same way. Oh, so
Speaker 1: you're confirming that you're an idiot. He didn't learn anything. Well, yes,
Speaker 1: there was another confirmation that he didn't learn a damn thing.
Speaker 1: You know, he did the exact same thing again with
Speaker 1: this off hand, reaching it like that. So I mean
Speaker 1: they have third and goal from like the one inch line.
Speaker 1: That's not a bad position of being. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I mean it was such a stupid play. And I
Speaker 1: can tell you this, I am now totally off car.
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope they don't resign him for the
Speaker 1: same as well. And I would tepe his house when
Speaker 1: he's living in Henderson or Southern Highlands. He's never gonna
Speaker 1: make it. The Los Vegas Broodens gonna kill this guy,
Speaker 1: not not only get the Vegas, not only is crazy
Speaker 1: coming back to Vegas. He's t being houses for God's sake.
Speaker 1: You know. Somebody tweeted that to me. I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: too old to do that stuff, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: that is just such a dumb playing. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I didn't hear his comments after this game and after
Speaker 1: the last time, and then he said I would do
Speaker 1: the exact same thing. Well, I'm sorry, that is just
Speaker 1: dumb dumb football. Can I and uh, that's enough on
Speaker 1: my tyrant. I am opening six and a half and
Speaker 1: I you know, as long as cars there, that will
Speaker 1: never be a winning game. I'm sorry they will not
Speaker 1: win the I'm not absolving Jon Gruden, like I mean,
Speaker 1: if if only he had a coach, do you think
Speaker 1: if he was if Bill Belichick was his coach, you
Speaker 1: think he'd ever do that? Again after the first time.
Speaker 1: No Belichick, that again, and you ever do that again,
Speaker 1: and you're out of here. You're out of here for good.
Speaker 1: Not John Gluten. John was, yeah, I keep doing it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's good football. You know. I hate to say, because
Speaker 1: the guy was much much better than car but Bret
Speaker 1: Farve had some horrible, horrible mistakes in his career throwing,
Speaker 1: you know, still still advised passes the resulted in turnovers.
Speaker 1: And I remember after games he was, I'm gonna that's
Speaker 1: the way I'd play. I'm gonna keep playing my game.
Speaker 1: You know, he'd have been so much better if somebody
Speaker 1: would have just throttled him and says, no, that is
Speaker 1: not We know how great you are. And he was
Speaker 1: a great quarterback, tremendous town that he made some dumb,
Speaker 1: dumb plays over his career. He did. Listen, he won
Speaker 1: one Super Bowl. If he was a smarter quarterback, he'd
Speaker 1: have three or four in his in his pocket. One.
Speaker 1: I agree with that. At least at least more than one.
Speaker 1: For sure, at least more than one. Yeah, at least
Speaker 1: more than one. And uh, you know, I see some
Speaker 1: of these guys and you know it again, part of
Speaker 1: it is their mental attitude that have made him so great.
Speaker 1: The car is not that great, by the way, and
Speaker 1: he should learn to play this game a little better
Speaker 1: because that was just a stupid, stupid play. We'll come back,
Speaker 1: We'll do the afternoon games. We gate guessing lines right

Speaker 1: you wanted to make a scheduling comment here? Did we
Speaker 1: are we out of order? Did something happen? Yeah? And
Speaker 1: NFL and NFL scheduling swaps, so that the last game
Speaker 1: we just talked about that would be a four four
Speaker 1: East Pacific. That Oakland, Texan game was flipped with Indie
Speaker 1: and Denver and he never goes at one o'clock East.
Speaker 1: Chris A kidding, just scolding Chris A. Okay, so there's
Speaker 1: a flipp in his schedule, all right, so let's do
Speaker 1: so what's next schedule? Right? There? Will be all right?
Speaker 1: All right? So what's the next game? Then? Uh? Carolina
Speaker 1: at San Francisco. Carolina and San Francisco, San Francisco undefeated.
Speaker 1: They beat the Redskins nine to nothing in the slop
Speaker 1: uh FedEx field is the Niners were just uh slip
Speaker 1: sliding in the in the rain yesterday six and over
Speaker 1: the third time in franchise history, first since Kyle Shanahan,
Speaker 1: Uh he remembers from being O, C and D C
Speaker 1: FedEx Field surface uh is not good, especially in clement weather. Uh.
Speaker 1: The San Francisco d after holding the Rams of seven
Speaker 1: points last week the Browns the three before that, Niners
Speaker 1: are the first team now since two thousand five and
Speaker 1: six since nineteen nine to limit an opponent to seven
Speaker 1: or fewer points in fewer than two yards of offense
Speaker 1: three straight games. More than half the people there Niners
Speaker 1: fans yesterday at FedEx Field, a trend that the Redskins
Speaker 1: are also familiar with. Even a let's go Niners chant
Speaker 1: broke out its point, so way to go d C.
Speaker 1: You still have the Mystics and maybe the Nets. Uh.
Speaker 1: And then Carolina off the bottom Capitals and the Capitals
Speaker 1: one year removed will still say the Caps, Yeah, Caps
Speaker 1: a little sneaky futures play. I think of the NHL
Speaker 1: this year. Caroline is coming off of bye. They when
Speaker 1: we last saw them were beating Tampa Bay in London,
Speaker 1: San Francisco minus four and a half. Chris, Okay, it's
Speaker 1: it's high the half and kind of choe. I thought
Speaker 1: that was a little white. I think had like the
Speaker 1: sixth better and I think I'm gonna open at six.
Speaker 1: I think of that UM Carolina coming off of by
Speaker 1: that's probably gonna help them. I agree with that. I'm
Speaker 1: starting to believe in that San Francisco team. Uh, what's
Speaker 1: the weakest link on their taking fight be Jimmy Garoppolov
Speaker 1: and they have They really have a good running game,
Speaker 1: they have a great defense. I think his team is very,
Speaker 1: very legit, and I'm gonna open six. I think it's
Speaker 1: a little bit better number. I think this number is
Speaker 1: going to go out myself. I got him to win
Speaker 1: the West plus before the season, considering a of a
Speaker 1: NFC or Super Bowl play on them as well. What's
Speaker 1: another afternoon game Denver at Indianapolis. This is the one
Speaker 1: that's actually in the morning now, Jeff Okay, So Denver
Speaker 1: Indeapolis originally schedule for afternoon is noway morning game Denver
Speaker 1: coming off of by. UM No, no, no, excuse me,
Speaker 1: extra rest party, yeah, extra rest. They lose to Kansas
Speaker 1: City badly on Thursday. And then there's the Colts that
Speaker 1: we talked about to beat the Texans. Jacoby Brissette. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say it again, Christie, I know you want to
Speaker 1: leave through the phone and choke me. Is it really
Speaker 1: that big a drop off from Andrew Luck twenty six
Speaker 1: of thirty nine twenty six of thirty nine for three
Speaker 1: twenty six, four touchdowns, no picks, career high in touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Six of his incompletions were throwaways, so make it thirty
Speaker 1: three if you want to do that. He had a
Speaker 1: career best in passing total and yards, a career best
Speaker 1: pass a rating one point seven. Zach Pascal by the way,
Speaker 1: as biggest target six and one of six two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: They were eight of six seen on third downs were
Speaker 1: the Colts um Colts by a touchdown minus seven. Uh
Speaker 1: six and a half. I'm not sure I don't like
Speaker 1: your number better, but I see, uh, I see a
Speaker 1: six in the hallway place that I and I highly respect. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I like your number better, although, like I said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna respect them with their number at six, and
Speaker 1: I'm opening six and a half, and that's what I see,
Speaker 1: primarily a six and a half. I see one seven
Speaker 1: with a bunch of juice on the dog, which kind
Speaker 1: of translates to a six and a half anyway. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open at six and a half. But I'll
Speaker 1: tell you if I see this one creeping higher, I
Speaker 1: will creep it higher. My own self, will creep my
Speaker 1: own self. I don't think. I don't think Denver is
Speaker 1: a very good thing, and I think Indianapolis is really
Speaker 1: a very legit team. And since we're on the subject
Speaker 1: to quarterback, and then I had this kind of a
Speaker 1: team when Andrew Luck was playing, Andrew Luck would still
Speaker 1: be playing. And by the way, let me remind you
Speaker 1: what we had the we put up the m v
Speaker 1: P s before the season. Betting on the m v
Speaker 1: P it was the second choice behind the homes. So yes,
Speaker 1: there's a difference. But all that being said, I like
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brisett. He's done really well and really gotten better
Speaker 1: and better as the years gone on. And I think
Speaker 1: I think, you know legitimate starting quarterback. Ladies, gentlemen, noted
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck advocate and apologist Chris Andrews my two friends.
Speaker 1: I don't have to apologize. I will tell you this. Uh,
Speaker 1: for me, the debate was seven or seven and a half.
Speaker 1: So for you to say six and a half, that
Speaker 1: surprises me. On that game, you're like, you're like that
Speaker 1: kind of do too, Yeah and do all right? So
Speaker 1: what's the last afternoon game? Uh, Cleveland at New England. Okay,
Speaker 1: so not much to say here. Cleveland off of by
Speaker 1: New England's sight unseen. Tonight they play the Jets. They're
Speaker 1: nine and a half road favorites, not and a half point.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen some ten's out there. Um really depending
Speaker 1: on where you go at the Jets tonight. Um, I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's gonna be more than a touchdown. So again,
Speaker 1: we haven't seen the Patriots yet. The Patriots are not
Speaker 1: though they're undefeated, they look like they have some chinks
Speaker 1: in the armor. I mean, I'll say, I'll say it's
Speaker 1: seven and a half. I'll probably I'm probably too light there,
Speaker 1: but it's got to be more than a touchdown. Um,
Speaker 1: I'll just say seven and a half as a placeholder. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're way light. It's ten and a half. Mhm um.
Speaker 1: You know it's probably a pretty good spot for Cleveland.
Speaker 1: It's yeah, yeah, in New England coming off the short
Speaker 1: rest because they're gonna be playing tonight and coming right
Speaker 1: back you know. Um, you know, his Bilichick going to
Speaker 1: fall prede to that short less, probably less than any
Speaker 1: other coach, but still his players will. I mean, there's
Speaker 1: not some sort of magic formula in New England. I mean,
Speaker 1: those guys are gonna be a little bit more sore. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know throughout the week that they will be in Cleveland,
Speaker 1: who is just like I said coming off, I'll buy
Speaker 1: and it's gonna have their like their practices make the
Speaker 1: ten and a half's probably a shade too high. But
Speaker 1: even tonight, I got some biggest sure on New England,
Speaker 1: and I have a ceiling we're I think we're nine
Speaker 1: and a half on the game. I'm gonna probably go
Speaker 1: to ten after this once I get the what if,
Speaker 1: because I think they're gonna be highly in favor of
Speaker 1: me meeting the dog. So I'm an open ten and
Speaker 1: a half. You never have to beg too much for
Speaker 1: a New England money, and I have a feeling that
Speaker 1: won't have to beg for it next week, you know.
Speaker 1: So if you if you want New England, you want
Speaker 1: to bet New England at the south Point, run quickly
Speaker 1: in the next twenty minutes before Christie post them, I
Speaker 1: would say, yeah, you got you got twenty two minutes.
Speaker 1: The only the only thing I would say about me,
Speaker 1: you don't want it if it's ten and a half.
Speaker 1: I gravitate towards Cleveland, it would go against everything I
Speaker 1: stand for, right, I would be betting on Freddie Kitchens
Speaker 1: against against Bill Belichick. So like I can't come on again.
Speaker 1: You're saying there's a coaching different area. Is the team
Speaker 1: that I'm picking up might be a little some We'll
Speaker 1: come back. We'll do the primetime game Sunday night, Monday night.
Speaker 1: We gate in the NFL. Aaron Rodgers twenty five of
Speaker 1: thirty one for four nine, five touchdowns at a pick
Speaker 1: excuse me, five touchdowns no picks. Ran for another. It
Speaker 1: is the first perfect passer rating of Aaron Rodgers career.
Speaker 1: Can you believe that? One? Fifty eight point three uh
Speaker 1: season high for the Packers and points in that game. Uh,
Speaker 1: even with Davante Adams out by the way, no Davante Adams,
Speaker 1: Green Bay still puts up um forty two points in
Speaker 1: that ball game. Winners Valdez Scantling two catches, one three
Speaker 1: touchdown and then Kansas City will be Matt Moore, not
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes will be on extra rest, but they won't
Speaker 1: have their m v P quarterback. So because of that
Speaker 1: quarterback changes, we talked about what's the difference between Mahomes
Speaker 1: and more It's a bunch of points. It's more than
Speaker 1: a touchdown, So I'll say it's Green Bay minus three.
Speaker 1: On the road it's four. I'm not sure I disagree
Speaker 1: with that four. By the way we met, I mentioned
Speaker 1: QBR an awful lot um, So it's one zero and
Speaker 1: the Rogers was ninety seven point two, certainly the highest
Speaker 1: of the week. That may be some higher. It's pretty
Speaker 1: hard to get a hundred hard to get, and I
Speaker 1: remember seeing some ninety eight and stuff out there over
Speaker 1: the years. That's a pretty darny good passive rate to
Speaker 1: b R. And I'm sure what do you got to
Speaker 1: do to get a hundred with unbelievable yesterday? Certainly his
Speaker 1: best game of the year without without his main receiver,
Speaker 1: although what's the one guy? I had a big game?
Speaker 1: My notes here, uh vast two catches but a hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty three yards. I'm not sure I ever heard
Speaker 1: of it before yesterday, you know, but he certainly makes
Speaker 1: a big place like green day four. I see a strain.
Speaker 1: I even see one three with some juice on the favorite.
Speaker 1: I see some three and asks, but I like four. Listen, Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think Kansas City number one. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're the home field advantage that we've been
Speaker 1: used to over the years. For giving that much credit.
Speaker 1: And there's an article about one of the one of
Speaker 1: the newspapers got a hold of me, talked about home
Speaker 1: field advantages really hasn't been that prevalent in the NFL
Speaker 1: this year. And I think there's a lot of reasons
Speaker 1: for that, coaching being one of them, the way teams
Speaker 1: traveled being another one. But I don't think that's a
Speaker 1: huge home field advantage for Kansas City here, certainly not
Speaker 1: in this spot. And more, I mean, you know, the
Speaker 1: guy's been around, he's capable, but again he's not He's
Speaker 1: not great. You kind of know what we're agatting with them.
Speaker 1: I think four is plenty, and again you're probably buying
Speaker 1: greening me a little bit high, but I'm not sure
Speaker 1: that's not the late price. I think I like four
Speaker 1: in this scheme. All right, Jeff tells me, because Jeff
Speaker 1: knows my my guess is in advance. Jeff tells me
Speaker 1: that this game, this Monday night game, is my most
Speaker 1: far off guests of the year coming up. So the
Speaker 1: matchup is who again Miami and Pittsburgh. Okay, Pittsburgh coming
Speaker 1: off of by Miami coming off they're lost to the
Speaker 1: Bills yesterday, but covering, And we talked about the Dolphins
Speaker 1: last week. No way I thought it should be that
Speaker 1: number of seventeen, especially midweek when it when it shifted
Speaker 1: from Josh Roseen Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Dolphins end up covering.
Speaker 1: Almost snatched a push from the jaws of a cover,
Speaker 1: but should have covered easily, and they do end up covering.
Speaker 1: So my Ryan Fitzpatrick yesterday two eighty two, one touchdown,
Speaker 1: one pick against the Bills, one of his seven former teams. UH.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins were up fourteen to nine after two consecutive
Speaker 1: seventy five yard drives engineered by Fitzpatrick. UM cut the
Speaker 1: Bills lead twenty one with a touchdown scamper later. By
Speaker 1: that time it was over. The Bill's six game streak
Speaker 1: of not giving up more than seventeen points was snapped,
Speaker 1: and UH the Bills first time this year they've not
Speaker 1: held an opponent two or fifty yards passing, actually fourteen
Speaker 1: games in a row, so that that's what Fitzpatrick did.
Speaker 1: He exceeded that number. Miami loses UM worst start since
Speaker 1: it lost its first seven and the eleven. But his
Speaker 1: performance yesterday again after they were outscored on to forty
Speaker 1: two over their first five games, you know, that should
Speaker 1: that should drive it home to people. This is a
Speaker 1: serviceable quarterback. I know he throws it all around the yard,
Speaker 1: but it's Ryan Fitzpatrick is not Josh Rosen. The out
Speaker 1: first down the bill seventeen. There was seven of thirteen
Speaker 1: on third downs, two of two on fourth downs. They
Speaker 1: outgained Buffalo three and one to three or five. They
Speaker 1: were minus two in turnovers. Brian Flores says, Ryan Fitzpatrick,
Speaker 1: you're starting next week, I have Pittsburgh minus seven and
Speaker 1: a half. Jeff just laughed at me. You know, as
Speaker 1: soon as you said that, I knew you were worried.
Speaker 1: I wish somebody would have captain into my brain because
Speaker 1: I knew you were gonna make it seven and a half.
Speaker 1: I knew it. It's fourteen and a half of fifteen.
Speaker 1: Come on, come on, I even see one sixteen with
Speaker 1: quite a bit of juice on the dog. So we
Speaker 1: should probably call it fifteen or fifteen and a half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: fourteen and a half of fifteen. You know, let me
Speaker 1: just say this, your numbers, right, I don't think it's right.
Speaker 1: But this is way too high, way too high. Stop it.
Speaker 1: What are we doing a Steeler fan? I mean even
Speaker 1: like I had, I've had dogs over the years where
Speaker 1: I've made him. I've got him in black and golf
Speaker 1: so that I can I name my one dog Ruoney
Speaker 1: after the Ruoney families. I am as Steeler Van period.
Speaker 1: This is way do I wait? This is not only
Speaker 1: my furthest off guest of the year, This is my
Speaker 1: furthest off guest of all time in the history of
Speaker 1: guessing lines. I think so. I think so. In other words,
Speaker 1: you're getting a one game teaser if you played Miami
Speaker 1: according to your number, right, Chris, we gotta take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll come back, We'll get We'll go through the games
Speaker 1: that we love the most. I'll have something else to
Speaker 1: say about this. It's coming up on a numbers game
Speaker 1: right here at Visa. Welcome back to a numbers game
Speaker 1: with Jill Alexander. I'm just gonna point it out laugh
Speaker 1: every Monday when you want all of these have come
Speaker 1: our way or are the results have proven us right
Speaker 1: consistently on guessing lines as that's my farthest off guests
Speaker 1: of all time, Chrissy, what are you finally putting up
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh line at Officially, I'm gonna use fourteen just
Speaker 1: because I see it as high as fifteen and a
Speaker 1: couple of spots. But I'm gonna over fourteen. I know
Speaker 1: they're gonna bet me. That's that's fine. That's what we're here,
Speaker 1: a ford. Uh So come on and lay the fourteen.
Speaker 1: If you're a believer, you might not get a better
Speaker 1: number all week. But there's a Steeler fan that's just
Speaker 1: that's just too high. My line is better between you
Speaker 1: and me, it's better. I'm taking Pittsburgh. I'm taking I'm
Speaker 1: excuse me. I'm taking Miami because it's absolutely ridiculous. I'll
Speaker 1: take them for a second straight week. I'm taking New
Speaker 1: Orleans because I think that's way low against the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: And I'm taking the Colts. If you're telling me that
Speaker 1: the Colts are six and a half against the Broncos
Speaker 1: off the key number of seven, I will take the
Speaker 1: Colts all day long. So those are the three I
Speaker 1: like the best. You boy, I would have to agree
Speaker 1: with you all three of those, you know, I I
Speaker 1: really think you're right, you know? Um, I like in
Speaker 1: addition to those three, I like Tennessee. I think this
Speaker 1: number really should have been a solid three. It's really
Speaker 1: two and a half. I think that's what I'm going
Speaker 1: to open, because a lot of time to make an adjustment.
Speaker 1: If I put up three, I know which way they're betting.
Speaker 1: I like Philly, Um not a numbers play, but I
Speaker 1: just think it's like I said, you're buying low someone
Speaker 1: high a little bit, a little bit on Buffalo, but
Speaker 1: you're definitely buying low on Philadelphia. And then the three
Speaker 1: ding you mentioned. I like myself and I kind of
Speaker 1: like San Francisco a little bit too. I think that
Speaker 1: numbers a little cheak Chrissy, I love you, Thank you
Speaker 1: so much. Man. We'll do it again next week. Always fun. Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: hopefully I will see you this Yes, the return of
Speaker 1: Chris and thank you, hope hopeful, fingers crossed. Thank you
Speaker 1: everybody listening. Good luck with all your bets tonight
