He's the last remnants 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.480 of the old republic, a sole fashion of fairness. He 0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.520 treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as the 0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:20.280 rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of hot takes, 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:24.120 break free for something special. The Fifth Hour with Ben 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:33.440 Maller starts right now in the Everywhere and it is 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:38.880 a special Friday Friday holiday weekend edition of the Fifth 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:43.680 Hour with Ben Mallard and Alex tysher In four The 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:47.640 Hunting Mooning, Danny's us that a word hunting mooning. It 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.800 should be, Ben, absolutely should be. You know, actually made 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.720 up a word too, Ben. I call it decreptifying. What 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.200 is that? What is that? I put it such? It's 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.400 so fearful that it brings you almost to death. It's 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:05.400 to creptifying. Oh, which is my radio resume flying? But anyway, alright, no, 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:09.280 I so it's week twelve. Let's strike up the band here, Alex. 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.000 We've got to make people money, is what we gotta do. 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.120 Not you? Well, you're the penny, You're the voice of 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:19.319 the penny. Here we go the big professionally done. Open. Alright, 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.319 let's get into it now. Before we look ahead, Alex, 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.600 we must look back. I screwed this up last week 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.680 because I forgot to do this at the beginning. Bad 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.560 job by me. But you were here. You were here 0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.399 last week as the voice of the penny. Did you survive. 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.240 I know that you're not you're not you do sports radio, 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:42.280 but you're a renaissance man. Yes, this is a little hard, 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.080 oh sports, this penny versus the penny, Right, it is 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.800 it is, you know, it's it's almost just enough Ben 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.520 where I enjoy it. Still, it's not your jam. And 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:54.720 I appreciate that you're leaving your comfort zone. Yes, and 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.040 I don't. I very rarely leave my comfort and my 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.080 wife forces me to do that from time with them. 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.800 But you you know you've met her. But I'm usually 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.680 in my own bubble like most people. And so I 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.920 appreciate that you've come over from the anime. And someday, 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:12.480 when you become officially the big star of anime, you 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:15.000 can tell in your story when you're being interviewed on 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.200 television and whatnot and and big internet shows, you can say, well, 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:21.119 you know, at one point before I became who I am. 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.040 I actually had to do a cheesy gambling show with 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:28.280 this overnight guy and I I so anyway, But but 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:32.720 here it is. So Week eleven, we had fourteen games 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.320 on the card and I did not have a great 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.360 feel for the card. I thought it was all right. 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.280 I didn't think it was it was gonna go my 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.320 way that well. I thought I'd be a middling week, 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:46.160 but I actually ended up with the highest I believe 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:48.280 I'm correct on this, the highest winning percentage I've had 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:51.560 all season and any one we got. I was ten 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:55.120 and four against the spread last week. That's a seven 0:02:55.240 --> 0:03:00.200 four teen winning percentage. So another good week and I'm 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.480 still waiting for the bottom to fall out. The worst 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.840 week I've had is Week two. That was the only 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.840 losing week that we had. Every other week I've been 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:14.040 ahead of five, and usually way ahead of five. And 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:19.040 the penny you representing the penny, Well, no, it's actually 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:22.520 not been the penny for the first time since I 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.720 want to go back here, since Week six, the penny 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.640 had a winning record. Let's go, yeah, there you go. 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.440 We both had winning records. Yes, the penny was nine 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.600 and five, so that no. But last the week before 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:39.840 the penny went five and nine. That job by honest 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:41.680 abe there to go five and nine the week prior, 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.800 so the Pennies first winning weeks since way back in 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.960 week number six. As we said, so the overall records. Now, 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:50.480 if you look at your audio device you're listening to, 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.320 you can see the chiron right there the graphic. Uh 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.920 and there I am nine and five. That is a 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:02.600 six sixteen winning percentage documented on the podcast. The penny 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.800 still under five hundred? Will the penny get over five 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.400 hundred this week? And a few weeks back the penny 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.760 was exactly five hundred, which is where it should be, 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.839 where it should be penny eight six and three. That's 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.840 a four seventy six winning percentage. And so that's how 0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:23.240 we have done. I've got I've got a pretty sizeable lead, 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.640 but there's a lot of games to go. There's a 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.279 lot of time to give it all back the second half. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.240 But I'm not trying to get back. I'm gonna destroy 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.640 the penny. I'm gonna take that penny. I'm gonna put 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:34.680 it on the train tracks and I'm gonna wait for 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.440 the train to run by and just flatten that penny. 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.440 Savage savage man, all right, let's get started with the 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.159 actual games here alex as the Voice of the Penny. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:48.279 First game up Baltimore seven and three at Jacksonville three 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:52.680 and seven. It's on CBS. Andrew Catalan and James Lofton 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.080 have a call. Ravens opened a three and a half 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.919 point favorite. They were favored by four light rain temper 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.440 tears in the low seventies in Jacksonville for this game. 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:09.560 Some of the numbers here they handle almost on Jacksonville. 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.760 Baltimore is four and one against the spread on the 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.520 road this season. Their nineteen eight and two against the 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:20.359 spread in Lamar Jackson's careers, so they've been a great 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:25.839 bet as a road team. Jacksonville. They played four games 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.719 against teams that have a winning record. They're owing for 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:32.360 Trevor Lawrence is a terrible record against the spread, and 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.760 all these numbers are against the spread. Jacksonville this season 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:39.400 one and six their last seven games against the gambling line. 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.160 I'm taking the Ravens here, and I'll tell you why. 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:46.040 Lamar Jackson gotta get out of that stump. Last seven games. 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.080 He's got six touchdown passes, five interceptions of passer rating 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:53.120 below eighty not exactly a money grab, free agent deb 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.440 type season. Here. The Ravens offense should have, could have, 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.120 would have scored many more points last week. They got 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.359 stuck in the mud, their own self created mud, a 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.240 lot of penalties, self inflicted dropped passes, sacks that they 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:11.080 allowed last week against a bad Panther team. This should 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.280 be just what the doctored order doctor order here. Jacksonville 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.960 not very good against the past in many statistical categories, 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.200 and so you think Mark Andrews the tight end and 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:25.680 Marcus Robinson, their top receiver right now, should flourish. But 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.520 I love John Harbaugh on the road. It's a small line. 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:33.080 It's four, it's not that many, and coming off of 0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:37.160 teams coming off of by playing John Harbaugh's Ravens are 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.120 are not doing well. They're the team's coming off to 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.920 buy playing Baltimore last ten one eight and one against 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:49.680 the spread Ravens twenty four Jags nineteen the final and 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:56.600 the penny picks tales bend. The penny went tales, all right, 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.000 So the penny going tales and that means the penny 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.720 taking the Ravens in this game. So Baltimore is the PIC. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:08.360 Next up for US Denver at Carolina Denver three and 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.239 seven Carolina three, and it's on Fox with Chris Myers 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.680 and Robert Smith. Chrismyers part of the Fox Sports Radio 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:18.480 Alumni Association prior to Alex Tisher working at f s ARE, 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.680 but Chris did work there back and they did some 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.400 shows with him. And the Broncos opened a two and 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.119 alf point favorite. They're favorite by two in this game, 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:32.280 and most everyone's betting on Carolina. Three of the action 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:35.880 last we had on the Panthers, mostly Sonny in Charlotte, 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.840 temperatures in the low sixties that kick off in North 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:44.440 Carolina Denver owen four against the spread as a favorite 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:50.800 this season, Carolina, they were dreadful under Matt Rule as 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:52.680 a team to bet on. They were three and sixteen 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.840 against the spread the last nineteen games Matt Rule coach. 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.320 But under Steve Wilkes there four and two against the 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.760 number and Sam Donald returning normally you don't get excited 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.000 about Sam Donald, but he can't be any worse than 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.880 Baker Mayfield was last week. And I just liked the 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:13.160 the gusto the Panthers have played with. They've scratched, they've claude, 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:17.600 they've fought for Steve Wilkes, the interim coach, and Denver 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.680 they they lost a heartbreaker to the Raiders last week 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:26.520 and overtime. They're completely cooked at this point at three 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.160 and seven. The Broncos offense has averaged less than fifteen 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.880 points per game. Defense has been solid, but Carolina's defense 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.360 has been pretty good of late as well. So I'm 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:42.520 taking the Panthers seventeen and the Broncos sixteen the final, 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:49.280 and the penny picks tails again, Ben Alright, so the 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:53.200 penny going with the road team in that one. So 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.800 the penny taking the Denver Broncos. Good luck to the 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:02.120 penny on that. Russell Wilson, Mr Unlimited All right. Next 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:06.240 up Atlanta five and six at Washington six and five. 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.559 It's a Fox game. Adam A. Mein and Marsh Labor 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:14.360 in the broadcast booth. Now, the Commanders opened up a 0:09:14.480 --> 0:09:16.800 three point favorite. They are favored by four and a 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:21.319 half and the money's pretty even, although slight leaned to 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:26.360 the Falcons at FedEx Field, temperatures in the fifties and 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.640 it's expected to be clear at kickoff Washington. What's going 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:32.960 on there with the team formerly known as the Redskins 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:37.240 five oh and one against the spread their last six games, 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:41.200 so they've been cooking and their four oh and one 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:45.280 with Taylor Heineke as the starter. Heineke as a favorite 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.640 in his career, has been three and one against the spread. 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.960 Washington this season as a favorite is three and oh. 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.400 So that tells you what has happened in Atlanta has 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:57.880 come crashing back down to earth in the gambling market. 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:00.000 They started the year six and oh against the numb 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.600 where the number has been adjusted, and right now, last 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:08.000 four games a dirty birds or dirty dirty dirty oh 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:11.679 and four against the spread. I'm gonna take the uh, 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:16.120 the Washington Commanders in this game. And I was going 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.520 back and forth on this, and I normally like to 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.160 lay the points, but I'm going the other way. I'm 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:25.480 gonna I'm gonna take Washington and lay the points. Uh. 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.640 There's a wide gap between these teams. And the more 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.800 I crunched the numbers, the more I realize what am 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:33.800 I doing with Atlanta. Washington ranked in some of the 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:37.800 adjusted statistics the Nerd Stats the tenth best team in 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.880 the NFL. The Falcons are twenty night the Commandos. They 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.080 impressed me last week. I thought they were gonna Buckle 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:48.160 against Houston, and they did not. It was a letdown game. 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.320 They keep on winning. The formula here is pretty simple. 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:56.240 Run run, run, run, run, run, run, Ryan Robinson, Antonio Gibson, 0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.320 and I'm getting some Jimmy G vibes from Taylor Heineken. 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:01.640 I'm not sure if I'm the only one. I don't 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.600 know if you're getting those fibes. But Taylor Heineke, his 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:10.960 numbers blow, but but he has been able to be 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:15.240 under center. And while he's not statistically great, Washington has 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.920 been much more successful with him than just about anyone 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:23.760 else recently. So I'll take the Washington football team six 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:28.040 and the Atlanta Football team twenty the final. And the 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.240 penny goes, oh, he's actually I'm watching him right now. 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:36.400 He's flipping the penny. Alex. There it is, Ben, It's heads, 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.280 all right, So heads it is. That means the penny 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:43.079 picking the home team, and that would be in agreement 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.720 with me, the penny picking Washington in this game. We 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.600 are keeping track of this for posterity's sake. Next up 0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:53.840 Tampa Bay five and five at Cleveland three and seven. 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:57.760 It's on Fox with Kenny Albert, Friend of the Show 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.640 and Jonathan Vilma. They have the call. Buck opened a 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:05.200 three point favorite, favorite by three in Cleveland and a 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:09.400 nice typical late November day in Cleveland, temperatures in the 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.360 forties and raining. It's a chamber of commerce kind of 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:16.640 day there in northern Ohio and the Buccaneers getting most 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:19.400 of the money. You look at some of the numbers here. 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.920 Tampa Bay won six and one against the spread their 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:26.080 last eight games. They did beat Seattle last week, although 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.480 the Seahawks came back a little bit in the second half. 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:30.839 I'm gonna take the Browns in this game. The Browns 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.640 have been miserable. They they did finish the game though. 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.319 Against Buffalo, I got a backdoor cover. Thank you very 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.880 much Cleveland on that the week plot prior, they got 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.240 flushed down the toilet by the Dolphins and they've given 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:46.080 up seventy points the last two weeks. That is a 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.679 troubling statistic going into this game. But Tom Brady, you 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:51.680 do some of the math on that and how he 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.920 has played this year at this has not been in 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:59.000 a wagon on offense for Tampa. The wind over the 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:03.920 Seahawks look good, but you notice Seattle they were sleep 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.720 walking the first half. The game started at six thirty 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:10.880 in the morning as body clock time West coast time 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:14.760 in Germany. Once they woke up, they played very well. 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.920 I'll play Tampa in the in the late stages that game. 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.920 So you're talking about a rainy Chile day in Cleveland. 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.359 I love the ground game of Nick Chuba Lob lob 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:27.480 to get it done there. Dinged up interior defense for 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.160 Tampa Bay based on the numbers we have as we 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.160 are recording Benny versus the Penny right now, so I 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:40.800 will take the Cleveland Browns seventeen and Tom Brady's Buccaneers sixteen. 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:48.800 The final ben the Penny has went heads again. Alright, 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.280 so heads it is, so the Penny agreeing with me 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.480 taking the Cleveland Browns in that game. Next up Cincinnati 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.760 six and four at Tennessee seven and three on CBS 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.800 with Iron Eagle and Charles Davis. Bengals opened a two 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.520 point favorite there up to a three point favorite most 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.520 of the handle in this game going in favor of 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:13.480 the Tennessee Titans. Cloudy and fifty seven degrees at kickoff 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:18.000 in the Music City in Nashville, Tennessee. Tennessee has been 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:22.400 a wonderful team as an underdog there eleven and four 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:26.360 against the spread their last fifteen. But check this out. 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:30.840 Tennessee has covered eight straight games. That is the longest 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.240 active streak in the NFL. Tells you what they have done, 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.440 not what they're going to do. But one more cover 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.560 here and the Titans, Remember the Titans, They would tie 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:44.920 the second longest streak to past fifteen years. The most 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:47.640 recent was Green Bay last year they covered nine strade 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.360 but this is tied now for the longest cover streaks 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:55.400 since the franchise left Texas to go to Tennessee. They 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.200 were originally in Memphis for a couple of years. That 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:03.359 was back in before I was in in a live craziness. 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:07.800 One more cover here, So if Tennessee covers the spread today, 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.360 that would be the longest streak in the Super Bowl 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:16.120 era for that franchise since the Love Me Blue nineteen 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:22.040 seventy five. Houston Oilers, Holy crap, that's a long time ago. 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.080 Cincinnati seven and one against the spread since Week three, 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.840 so they played well, I'm taking that Titans. Now I'm 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.400 taking the times. We're betting on Tennessee. The reason I 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.480 like Tennessee is their defense. There are top ten defense 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.920 and getting to the quarterback. The offensive line played better 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.560 last week for Cincinnati. I don't trust the offensive line 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:44.040 getting it done again here, and so if I'm right 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.720 about the Titans, they will force Joe Burrow to make 0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:50.720 some quick throws, some inaccurate throws which leads to interceptions 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:54.680 in complete passes. Jamaar Chase does come back, but what 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.280 version are you going to get? Mike rabele as a 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.080 home dog has been the thanks Giving miracle, Thanksgiving weekend 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:06.560 miracle in Tennessee. And that defense, that's the side they 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.360 have given up twenty or more points just one time 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:13.800 since September. Since late September, they've got a mini buy, 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.760 so they got a little more time off for this game. 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:18.920 It'll be a low scoring game, but the wrong team 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.800 is favored. Titans will get to eight and three Tennessee 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:29.960 twenty and up Ben Gals seventeen the final Ben the 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.560 penny has won Heads yet again. All right, so the 0:16:32.560 --> 0:16:36.040 penny taking the home team, and remember Benny versus the Penny. 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.080 Home team is Heads and the road team is Tales. 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.560 Of the home team here is Tennessee, So the Penny 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:45.800 picking the Tennessee Titans in this one. Next up Houston 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:49.840 one eight and one, the NFL's worst team, and Miami 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:53.880 Miami Miami at seven and three on ciby as with 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:58.600 Spirodidas and Jay Feely. The Dolphins opened a nine and 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.480 a point favorite. They've been bet up the thirteen and 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:03.760 a half. Everyone thinks this is a free money game 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.159 that all Miami has to do is show up and 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:09.119 they're gonna win this game. Light rain temperatures in the 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:13.160 mid eighties in the tropical paradise where the Dolphins play 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:15.840 their games at hard Rock Stadium. Now, some of the 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:19.480 numbers here on this game the to a tongue of 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:24.720 Eloa Dolphins eight and oh straight up as a home favorite, 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:29.920 six and two against the spread. Houston, though there four 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:32.240 and one against the spread of at least a seven 0:17:32.280 --> 0:17:36.080 point line. They're getting almost double that in this game. 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:39.480 Texans are two and oh as a double digit underdog 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:43.560 this season against the spread. And this is a historic 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.959 point spread. If you're into these kind of things, and 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.119 what kind of point dexter is not right, Tisher, you're 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:51.000 a big nerd. You're into this, yes, man, of course 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:56.320 you're hanging on my every word. I can tell yes. Sorry, 0:17:56.520 --> 0:18:00.440 Miami has not been this big effe favorite. They have 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.040 not been at least an eleven point favorite since twenty 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:08.560 oh three Tonio Gays nineteen years ago. That was also 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:12.200 against Houston. They were a fourteen point favorite. Miami lost 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:18.040 that game for crapping giggles. Dolphins three fourteen games without 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:20.199 being at least an eleven point favorite. That is the 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:23.639 second longest streak in the NFL. That's gonna come to 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.000 an end here this week, Detroit. If you're wondering, the 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:30.520 Lions have the longest streak. They were last that big 0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:35.280 a favorite in nineteen ninety six. How old was Alex 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:40.840 tysher in nine were even alive? Oh my god, Lord 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:46.320 have mercy. Alright, alright, man, oh my god. Alright, the 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.359 Texans are my pick here. I'm gonna take the Texas. Now, 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.280 I realized this is risky business, and a six year 0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.440 old acts Tisher would have known even at age six 0:18:54.800 --> 0:18:58.280 that this is Miami is third in yards per games. 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:02.479 Houston is dead last, Alex, they're dead last in yards 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.439 per game. And you look at you know some of 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:09.440 the numbers here. The defense for the Texans is thirty 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:13.120 feet in that category. So that's why they're the worst team. 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:15.600 But I'm I'm gambling for a couple of things here, 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:17.760 and all of this is a you know, put your 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.000 neck out situation. But my logic behind the Texans pick 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.880 is this, the Texans have been a middling team. They've 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.879 been in statistically in these games for three quarters or 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.760 for half. But normally what has happened is Davis Mills 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:34.200 goes helter skelter and messes up. He's getting benched. He's 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:37.760 not playing in this game. The Texans turning to Kyle Allen. 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:41.639 We've heard that name before. He's played. He's been unstable, 0:19:41.680 --> 0:19:45.480 he's been unreliable. That's why he keeps changing teams. But 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:49.879 he has had some really great performances mixed in with 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:53.639 the crap uh and he started seventeen games, seven and 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:57.240 ten career record. He has four career games with two 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.720 touchdowns and two or more touchdowns and in receptions three 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:04.320 games with three plus interceptions. Just for comparison sake, Davis 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:08.160 Mills has two games only two, and he started many 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:11.440 more games with three plus touchdowns and no interceptions. He's 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.360 got six games with two or more interceptions. So as 0:20:14.480 --> 0:20:17.199 bad as Houston is, and they've earned every one of 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:21.480 their losses. Eight of them. Only one of those losses 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.200 has been by thirteen and a half or more points, 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:28.399 and the Dolphins only have one win by thirteen or 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:32.160 more points. So that was last week against Cleveland Brown team. 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:35.159 That was was a mess. So I'm taking the Dolphins. 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:38.000 Thirty four Texans twenty three Texans will be the right 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.879 side of the bet, and we'll flip the penny up 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:44.320 with Alex representing the penny. Alex Tisher, Alex the Vegan, 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:47.760 Alex the Anime Star will be on all our podcast 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:54.920 this weekend. Ben, You'll never believe this pen. The penny 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:58.000 has gone heads again, pen. Are you sure about the 0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:00.880 hold that up? Let me see that here. Okay, let's 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:02.880 see the other side. Flip it over. Let me see 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.119 all right, it's a legitimate It's not unless it's a legit. 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.080 It's a legit penny. That's the way the penny go. 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:11.440 That's the way. Are you smelling fishy business just because 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:14.400 I did well last week? Is I'm just I'm trying 0:21:14.440 --> 0:21:16.600 to figure out. I mean, all these he keeps coming 0:21:16.680 --> 0:21:20.359 up heads that's anyway that that's the Dolphins. So the 0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:23.960 Dolphins the pick for the penny. The home team again 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:28.640 home Team Heads Road Team Tales. Next up Chicago Chicago 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:32.240 Chicago dub Bears three and eight at the Jets six 0:21:32.240 --> 0:21:37.000 and four. It's on Fox with Joe Davis and Darryl 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.879 moose Johnston. They have the call. The Jets opened a 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.560 three and a point favorite. They are favored by six 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.960 in this particular game. So that's the that's the number 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:53.399 in this game, and this this game has changed quite 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:58.600 a bit because of the quarterback situation for both teams. 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:00.720 Will give you some of the of the numbers on 0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:04.440 this as far as the gambling line UH wide percentage 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:10.640 wide percentage in favor of the Jets in this particular game. 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:14.679 Jets coming off a bad loss as opposed to a 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:17.920 good loss. A bad loss to the New England Patriots 0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:20.560 last week. New York has not been a six point 0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:25.720 favorite since Week ten of the season. Last time the 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:29.040 Jets were a four point favorite was in twenty nineteen. 0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.439 Jets have been a good team this year off of loss. 0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:34.639 There are three and all against the spread. They're also 0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:38.840 four and oh against the gambling line against teams that 0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:42.639 have a losing record, and so those are some positive stature. 0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:45.440 Chicago has not been a good play as an underdog. 0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:49.040 But it's it's a whole new world here. We're out 0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:54.439 in the cosmos because the Bears will not have Justin 0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:57.000 Fielts out. We we believe, we were told that with 0:22:57.119 --> 0:23:01.040 a separated shoulder. But I'm I'm gonna the Jets in 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:04.360 this game. I was gonna take the Bears had we 0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:07.200 had Fields. He's not, from what we understand, gonna play 0:23:07.480 --> 0:23:11.440 separated shoulder serrow. He's out. Zack Wilson has been benched. 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:13.800 He won't even be in uniform either in this game. 0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.639 So you've got Mike White for the Jet season in 0:23:16.720 --> 0:23:21.480 the cockpit as the pilot versus Trevor Simeon in the 0:23:21.520 --> 0:23:24.880 Bears cage or dan? Is it a cage or a den? 0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:26.600 I guess it's a den, right, don't they call it? 0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:30.080 It's a Lions den? Is it a Bear's den? To believe? So, 0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:34.200 all right, you're the animal guy, you know what, you 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:38.560 protect him, You're all exactly right. Yeah. Uh, Anyway, this 0:23:38.680 --> 0:23:41.240 is a bad matchup the Bears the Bears. Though, here's 0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:42.880 the deal. I look at the Bears as a one 0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:45.720 man band. There was one guy making plays the last month, 0:23:46.080 --> 0:23:48.960 and that was Justin Fields and assuming he's not there. 0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:52.119 They become the Headless Horseman. And you know, we know 0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:55.480 that the story that the headless Horseman. Uh, we don't 0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:58.760 trust Mike White very well either. Joe Flacco likely will 0:23:58.760 --> 0:24:01.399 get into this game of White has a reversal of 0:24:01.480 --> 0:24:04.959 fortune and rides the vomit comment. But we do believe 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:08.240
