1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntire. What is up 2 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: straight Fire? Fam, It's me Jason McEntire, Straight Fire or Friday, 3 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: September tenth. What a game last night? Oh my goodness, 4 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay survives against Dallas thirty one twenty nine. Just 5 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: a phenomenal start to the NFL season. When they released 6 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: the TV rating today, it's gonna be astronomical. I mean, 7 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: the game was first outrageously good, and second it went 8 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: down to the wire. Uh. Tom Brady delivers on the 9 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: final drive. Ryan suck Up HiT's the game winner. Obviously, 10 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: if dallas Is kicker had made an extra point and 11 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: one of the two field goals he missed, uh, Cowboys 12 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: would have got the win. Just an awesome start to 13 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,319 Speaker 1: the NFL season. I gotta say, I know you don't 14 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: care about fantasy, but my son, first time playing fantasy 15 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: had a Marie Cooper and Amari Cooper was like projected 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: for ten points a Marie Cooper win. Absolutely bananas against 17 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: the Bucks and listen, this is the story. Like the 18 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: Cowboys passing game was ridiculous. Michael Gallup did get hurt. 19 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: You gonna have to file that one away. You look 20 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: at the targets, Cooper sixteen, targets, Ceedee Lamp fifteen. All 21 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: they did was throw the ball. The overarching obvious point 22 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: here is Dallas, I thought, played about as well as 23 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: you can possibly play against the defending Super Bowl chance 24 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: who you know, supposed to be in the mix to 25 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: go undefeated, and they lose by two. Just consider this, 26 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: Dallas won the turnover battle four to one. Tampa had 27 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: four turnovers. Even even if you want to dismiss the 28 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: hail Mary at the end of the half fine three turnovers. 29 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay penalties eleven for a hundred and six. Dallas 30 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: had more yards. They were first downs, they were better 31 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: on third down, folks. Dallas played about as good as 32 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: possible and they still lost the game. My my overall 33 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: takeaway from this is Tampa did not look particularly sharp, 34 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,559 Speaker 1: still scored thirty one points, still won the game. Brady 35 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: delivered late. I just don't see how you can have 36 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: any real I know people are gonna be reaching for, like, 37 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, to cut through today first Friday after the 38 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: season opener, people are gonna have one. To have all 39 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 1: these scorching hot takes. The bottom line is, like Dallas 40 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: played a pretty damn smart game. I love the game play. 41 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: Kelen Moore was in his bag early. I mean Dak 42 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: Prescott getting rid of the ball quickly. Uh sure he 43 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: made he couldn't really throw the ball down field a 44 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: couple of mistakes going anything beyond yards. But this is 45 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: the first time he's throwing a football in a real, 46 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 1: live game, at live action since what last October? He 47 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: played no preseason games. You look pretty damn good forty 48 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: two or fifty eight now, you know. I'm sure there's 49 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: some cynical fan Cowboys fans out there. Why is he 50 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: throwing eight times? Well, you can't run the ball against 51 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: his defense. Uh, you saw that. It was a fool's 52 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: errand like they could not get Zeke on track. They 53 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: decided early. Uh let's just abandon that. They brought it 54 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: back a little in the second half to slow things 55 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: down when the Dallas defense just kept getting gashed. And listen, 56 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: you could easily argue Tampa should have had forty five points. 57 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: Godwin dropping a touchdown pass over the shoulder in the 58 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, Godwin fumbling at the two yard line. Um, 59 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: you know, and it's weird because I thought Brady looked 60 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: really good. And folks, you can say, oh, he's forty four, 61 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: is gonna fall off a cliff. Listen, since I've been 62 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: on TV out here at one, all anybody has said is, well, 63 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: Brady's getting old. Father time never loses. This is like 64 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: clockwork every August now, four five straight August and Brady 65 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: starts thirty two fifty three t d s. He did 66 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: have the two picks, one, by the way, was I 67 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: believe one was off the hands of four net. The 68 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: four turnovers were none attributed to Brady. Okay, you had 69 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: the fumble by Ronald Jones poked out, great poke job 70 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: by DeMarcus Lawrence. Then you had screen pass to Leonard 71 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: four Nette. I think he just went off his hands. 72 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: You gotta catch that. Then you had the hail Mary, 73 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: which you know whatever, it's a hail Mary. And then 74 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: you had Godwin fumbling at the two. So I don't 75 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: want to hear this Old Brady wasn't very sharp like 76 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: Brady was really good. And that back shoulder throw to 77 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: Godwin on the final drive to set up the field goal. Money, guys, 78 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: you want to go ahead and look at this Tom 79 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: Brady schedule coming up. They got the Falcons at home 80 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: next week, They get a trip to the Rams, which 81 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: is gonna be a national TV game, and that they 82 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: were supposed to be one point underdogs in that one. 83 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: That's the only game all season they're supposed to be underdogs. 84 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: And then the Patriots on Sunday Night Football. If Tampa 85 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: starts four and oh, this undefeated narrative, this Tom Brady 86 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: m VP of forty four, all that goes into overdrive 87 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: because after that, folks, it eases a big time and 88 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: for the Bucks to steal that way. We had t 89 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: a on yesterday. I hope you guys listening to that. 90 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: A lot of good gambling nuggets. He liked Dallas getting 91 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: the points. I said, the over both easily ashed. UM, 92 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: although I guess you could argue Godwin fumbling at the 93 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: two UM would have put Tampa up nine or ten 94 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: if they want for to UM, Dallas could have still 95 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: come in the back door. They probably would have gone 96 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: prevent defense. But it's just great to have football back. 97 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: The game was tremendous, Uh collins Worth and now Michael's 98 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: I actually listened to more than I normally do. UM. 99 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: Usually I just got the game on mutant do intent things. 100 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: But it's the first game of the season. Um, if 101 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: you're a Dallas fan, the one big concern is, oh 102 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: my gosh, Antonio Brown torched us. Oh my gosh, We're 103 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: supposed to have these great linebackers. And Gronk just eight 104 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: all day over the middle of the field. I mean, 105 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons was just getting I mean he got put 106 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: in a spin cycle and coverage. There is a funny 107 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: clip floating around on Twitter of Michael Parsons basically doing 108 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: like a spinner row, just having no idea weight. Are 109 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: they running it? Oh? I gotta be defending this guy. Wait, 110 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: he's not there. I gotta go here. Michael Parson's look 111 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: lost at times. Vander esh uh, it was just pedestrian. 112 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if they said Jalen Smith's name all night. Um. 113 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: And then, of course, the real interesting piece of this 114 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: is I drafted Tony Pollard I think at all my 115 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: fantasy leagues because Zeke has been trending downward for three 116 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: years now, and Ezekiel Elliott eleven carries thirty three yards. Okay, 117 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: Tony Pollard four catches twenty nine yards. Zeke Elliott two 118 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: catches six yards. Tony Pollard didn't quite have as many touches. 119 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: As Zeke, but you can see it's way closer than 120 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: it used to be. The days of Zeke being carry 121 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: back are done. It's just not happening anymore. And frankly, 122 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 1: Dallas looked better in the up tempo. That's the only 123 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: way you can hang with this juggernaut that is Tampa. 124 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 1: So overall, listen, Dallas did just as about as played 125 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: as well as you could. I don't want to say 126 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: they owned the statuet, but if you look at the numbers, 127 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: like they should have won that game, what really hurt 128 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: them is one for four in the red zone. I 129 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: didn't love the play calling Kellen Moore had. I think 130 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: on first down he had Dak do like a um 131 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: a keeper. I'm like, dude, he's coming off a gruesome 132 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: leg injury. You're doing a keeper in the red zone. 133 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: And then on third down they pitched it to Zeke. 134 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: The tight end whiffed on the block. I think it 135 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: was Schultz maybe, and Zeke got wrapped up. You know, 136 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: red zone leaves something to be desired. They don't really 137 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: have a tight end in the red zone. Um ceedee. 138 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 1: Lamb obviously is a is a nice weapon out of 139 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: the slot. He did have a case of the drop 140 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: sees cost him and uh an interception that was not 141 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: really Dack's fault on the replay. But overall, UM, tremendous game. 142 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: And and I'll be honest, like Dallas going toe to 143 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: toe with the defending Super Bowl champs who returned all 144 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: twenty two starters, dak not playing in the preseason, missing 145 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: your best offensive lineman and Zach Zack Marton, that's a 146 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: pretty damn good performance by by the Dallas Cowboys. Rob you, 147 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: you had to be impressed. I don't know if impressed 148 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: is the word I would use to describe that performance. 149 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: I thought that UM number one thought they blew it 150 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: at the end. You know, I thought that they played, 151 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,239 Speaker 1: like you said, about as well as they possibly could. 152 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: And then as soon as you saw that Tampa Bay 153 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: had a minute left and all they needed was a 154 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: field goal, you know it was over. Yeah, Tom Brady, 155 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: I mean, their secondaries terrible, and I know you pointed 156 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: out the red zone one for four being a big thing, 157 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: and that's true, but they also gave up four hundred 158 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: and thirty yards in just twenty five minutes of defensive possession. 159 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,119 Speaker 1: I mean, Tampa Bay could have hung up fifty were 160 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: it not for and whatever reason Stone had Leonard four 161 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: Nette screen pass, you know, I mean Tampa Bay had 162 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: eleven turnover excuse me, eleven penalties, four turnovers. They were 163 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: shooting themselves in the foot all game, and I never 164 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: really felt like they weren't in control because when they 165 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: had the ball, they could do pretty much whatever they 166 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: wanted to. Dallas, the Cowboys look like they are going 167 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: to be that team, just like my Raiders last year. 168 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: In fantasy football, you're gonna be very excited because there 169 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: your team is gonna score a lot of points. Whether 170 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: it's Dak Prescott throwing it all around or Zeke. You know, 171 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: one of these games is probably gonna get unlocked and 172 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: run for a buck twenty five and two touchdowns. You're 173 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: gonna be really happy with them. And then they're gonna 174 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: go against them and on their defense and the other 175 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: team's gonna light them up to That's exactly what's gonna 176 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: happen throughout the season. So in fantasy football, if it's 177 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: a Dallas Cowboys game, you're gonna be excited because it'd 178 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: be a lot of points scored. If it's real football, 179 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna be wildly disappointed because they are a mediocre 180 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: five ish team. That's harsh. Well, wait a second, hold on, 181 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: So Dallas third and eleven two minutes left, Um, I'm 182 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: sorry it was not third It was third and eleven 183 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: from their own thirty five and then Dac delivers big 184 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: play to Ceedee Lamb. At that point, didn't you think, 185 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: whoa wait a minute, Dallas could pull this off? Not really, 186 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: because I didn't think they were actually gonna score their 187 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: touchdown there like they they. I think they only had 188 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: what was it like five penalties, well, the holding penalty 189 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: on Thursday penalties penalties, But the problem was that where 190 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: they made the mistakes were at the worst times, like 191 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: before the half, Dak Prescott taking a sack like that's 192 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: just a dumb mistake to make you know what I mean? Um, 193 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: early on in the game, I think it might have 194 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: been the second drive after Tampa Bay had marched down 195 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: and scored. Dallas is coming right back and Ceedee Lamb 196 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: has a wide open pass on like second and ten 197 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: and he just drops it, so they have to play 198 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: from Dave in their own end zone, and then of coorse, 199 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay comes and scored, touching down right back like 200 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: they they these plays feel like they're small and insignificant 201 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: in the moment until you take a step back and 202 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: look at it and you're like, oh, well that was 203 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: a big swing right there. Well that that was a 204 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: big there isn't They make a series of those plays 205 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: every game. It feels like, well, the problem is there's 206 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: no room for error if the offense does that when 207 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 1: the defense is exactly I just looked at looked at 208 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: this rob sacks of Tom Brady. Zero tackles for loss. 209 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: Is the defensive line getting any push getting in the backfield? Zero? Okay? 210 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: Tom Brady through fifty passes, do you want to guess 211 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: how many times he was hit? Or they registered his 212 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: hits twice? That's it. He got hit twice. Fifty fifty 213 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: pass attempts and he got hit twice. Like they're getting 214 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: no push whatsoever. I don't know how you remedied that, 215 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: And frankly like, I mean a guest Dan Quinn could 216 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: take some hits, but then he could just be like, yo, GM, 217 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: you got me four linebackers in an arrow. We have 218 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: like no edge rush. They're leading tacklers were their cornerback 219 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: and their safety and then their rookie and then their 220 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: safety slash linebacker. Um, I mean you could you could 221 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: argue if the Bucks played a little crisper didn't cough 222 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: it up, Godwin was a little more secure at the ball. 223 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: This is they win this by three touchdowns? Right? Oh yeah, 224 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: And I'm sure that they're gonna say no. But I 225 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: think if you were to ask Mike McCarthy with a 226 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: little bit true sirem, hey, do you regret not letting 227 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: Micah Parsons play more in the preseason, that he might 228 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: say yes, because, like you mentioned before, they were abusing 229 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: him in the middle of the field. He looks so 230 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: lost out there with what Tampa Bay was doing. They 231 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: weren't even doing a whole lot of complex stuff, but 232 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: it was, you know, any play action, he's biting. Any 233 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: time that that Gronk got on his hip, it was 234 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: over and Grons not even fast anymore. But it's just like, 235 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: this kid looks so out of his element playing against 236 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: real NFL speed for the first time because they limited 237 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: his steps so much in the preseason and he didn't 238 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: play last exactly. I mean this guy, I mean like 239 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a steep learning carve. Now listen, if 240 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: you're if your Dallas. There was a brief moment where 241 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: you're like, holy cow, want to know against him, we're 242 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: gonna pull this off. And then now you lose. And 243 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: then you look at the schedule and you're like, okay, 244 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: we had to travel to Tampa. Now we go home. 245 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: We got to travel to the Chargers justin Herbert, and 246 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: it's this is where it gets Gary Nick Bosa. Is 247 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: Nick Bosa the one on the Chargers? No, that's Jos 248 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Joey Bosa, Derwin James. Assuming these guys don't 249 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: get hurt in Week one against Washington and that kind 250 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 1: of becomes a must win because Rob g Then in 251 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: week three you get the Eagles Sunday night or maybe 252 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: it's Monday Night. No, it's Monday night Primetime, and you 253 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: can't lose that divisional game and go oh and three. So, 254 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't project Dallas to have a win 255 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: in the opener, but they were so close that it 256 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: almost feels like, damn they You don't want to say 257 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: that they're really automatically contending, but I don't know. Rob 258 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: Dak looked pretty darn good for for coming off that 259 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,719 Speaker 1: injury and not playing uh any in the preseason. I 260 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: thought the offense is crisp. You're right, just the red 261 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: zone meltdowns kind of killed him. Um and any other 262 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: big picture takeaways from from the UH from the Cowboys 263 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: loss or would you call did the Cowboys lose that 264 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: or did Tampa just win it? Because the final drive. 265 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: I think Dallas lost it because Tampa Bay throughout the 266 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: game was doing everything and they their power to to 267 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: lose that game. You know, it felt like one of 268 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: those rings ceremony and I you see in the NBA 269 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: where these guys are just kind of basking in the 270 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: glory and they're not really locked in the way they 271 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 1: should be. And you know, the penalties were one thing. 272 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 1: The the the just uncharacteristic turnovers with the the way 273 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: that they happened. It wasn't like, oh it was a 274 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: misread and miscommunication. It was just a dumb you know. 275 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: Leonard Fournett bounced right off his hands. I mean Ronald 276 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: Jones not having two hands on football when he's running 277 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: through a pilot. These are fundamental mistakes that they were making. 278 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: And Dak Prescott looked great. Their offense looked like they 279 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: couldn't be stopped, and even still as much as like 280 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: I felt like Tampa was always going to win. When 281 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: the other team is playing that poorly and making those 282 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: kinds of mistakes, it's up to you to just not 283 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: screw it up on yourselves. And the one for four 284 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: on the thread zone is what what did you in? 285 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: And then the untimely you know, sac or penalty is 286 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: just I feel like Dallas should have won that game. 287 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: They just didn't. I'll close with this, um and I 288 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: have nothing against him, but Tom Brady's not slowing down 289 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: at forty four. But I just I just saw no 290 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: regression at all. There's no sign of it none. Are 291 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: they the team that would expose any kind of his flaws? Dallas? Well, 292 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing. It's a it's a very 293 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: easy schedule for him. Next week, Let's see Aaron Donald 294 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: what he can I'm sorry, in two weeks, Aaron Donald. 295 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: Next week it's the Falcons, which is another pushover defense. 296 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: That hell, he's just gonna dominate. Um, but if you 297 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: can't get a push and that Buck's offensive line, remember 298 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: they were dominant last year, dominant in the playoffs. I mean, 299 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: Tristan Worths with incredible rookie campaign, Like if you can't 300 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: get to him. He's just gonna pick you apart the 301 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: weapons like Mike Evans did. Did Mike Evans do anything 302 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: in that game? No total, total non factor. He's like 303 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: one of the ten best receivers the league. Yeah, Mike 304 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: Evan said, six targets, three catches, twenty four yards. I mean, 305 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: basically if Antonio Brown can play at that level, like 306 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: just rusting cornerbacks. Um, Godwin Gronk, I mean O J. Howard, 307 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: I'm seeing he didn't even play. And then if you 308 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: notice Howard did play, I think you played six naps 309 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: out out there. That O J. Howard fully healthy, played 310 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: as many snaps as Ronald Jones who got pulled after 311 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: that fumble. Yeah, I know I was, but my son 312 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: was facing Nancy he was so excited. Um, that's interesting 313 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: that O J. Howard only played six STAPs. I thought 314 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 1: they would like hold on to Gronk for later in 315 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: the season, so he's primed for the playoffs. Um. I 316 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe this was just like a big game 317 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: against a good team then and O. J. Howard will 318 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 1: eat next week or they'll rotate it. But this team 319 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: has just too many weapons. It's like, you know, I 320 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: don't know this. I don't know if there's a great analogy. 321 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: It just came to me, but they're kind of Golden 322 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: State Warriors ish where it's like, oh, well Clay could 323 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: go for forty tonight, Curry probably will get thirty. Um, 324 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: Katie might drop fifty on you. And it's just like 325 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: Draymond Green's gonna have a triple double. Like they were 326 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: so loaded. When Brady drops back, he's got an embarrassment 327 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: of riches. I mean, Antonio Brown was practically out of 328 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: the league. Was he not two years ago with your Raiders? 329 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: Or was that last year? I've already it was too 330 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: It wasn't. It wasn't because he couldn't play, so that 331 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: that's no, no, I know. But he was such a 332 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: he was such a jerk. Remember you had all those 333 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 1: lawsuits and sports illustrator wrote a bunch of stuff like 334 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: he was like feuding with the people who moved him 335 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: and he didn't want to pay them, and he baby 336 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: Mama drama. Like Antonio Brown's out thirty three years old. 337 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: And I don't know, did he look like the best 338 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: receiver on the Bucks. I kind of thought he did, 339 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 1: I mean, look better than Evan's God. I think if 340 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: if he knew the playbook last season, he would have 341 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: been the best receiver on the Bucks. Antonio Brown is 342 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: a mister. Um. I have one thing to say about 343 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: the Bucks. I don't I don't want to sound like 344 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 1: a hater. I'm not trying to be negative. But let 345 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: me just say that if Tom Brady has to throw 346 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: the ball fifty times a game, they are not going 347 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 1: to be a super Bowl team. That's not his game anymore. 348 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: He's very good on the play action. He's very good 349 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: when he can turn his back to the defense and 350 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: then whip his head around and get you for that 351 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: fifteen yard across the middle. But it's just that this 352 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys defense is so horrible that it didn't really affect 353 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: I just I wonder how many offenses like Dallas can 354 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: hang with the Buccaneers. It's gonna be tough, like you 355 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: really once. If if Tampa gets up two scores on 356 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: you or three scores, then it's just say good night. 357 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: It's gonna be forour ned. It's gonna be Jones. And 358 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 1: their offensive line is awesome. I mean, this team is. 359 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: They did not even They played like a C game tonight. 360 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: Would you say that Yeah, that sounds about right. And 361 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: they won. That's a little scary for the rest of 362 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,719 Speaker 1: the league.

I mean, you know, folks, 374 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: this went over fifty one and a half. Late third quarter, 375 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: it was cake. Uh.

All right, I just want to disclaimer 381 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: on Week one, guys, listen, it's easy to think that 382 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: you love so many games on the card and you 383 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: want to hammer the board. You want to play like 384 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: twelve bets like and I've kind of fallen into that trap. 385 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: I have written down one, six, seven, eight, eight bets 386 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: sides are totals. I have big money line parlay, and 387 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: I have a teaser and that doesn't include the tickets 388 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 1: I got in Vegas a little more money, um on 389 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: several games. I don't recommend that, you know, we I've 390 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: been doing this a little longer than than some of 391 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: you folks, so I have a little bit of a 392 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: different bank roll situation. And um, I'm gonna give you 393 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 1: my picks, um, but I'm just when you get the 394 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: number matters significantly. For instance, I got Denver minus two 395 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 1: and a half earlier this week. Now as we get 396 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 1: closer to game time, you can't find the two and 397 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: a half. It's three everywhere? Do I like Denver on 398 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:45,959 Speaker 1: the road favored by three with Teddy Bridgewater and Vic Fongio, Like, 399 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: that's insane. If it dip dips back down to two 400 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: and a half, is it worth it? Is it worth 401 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: it to pay some extra juice? I don't like to 402 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: pay the extra juice if you see you two and 403 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: a half. I would jump on Denver. I think they 404 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: win this game out right. It feels like set. I 405 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: get the Denver defense, I got the Denver kicker. I 406 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 1: we gave you the Teddy Bridgewater. Um what numbers. I 407 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: think he's twenty one in three against the spread on 408 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: the road as the starting quarterback. Like, that's what he does. 409 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: He doesn't make mistakes, he keeps it clean and close. 410 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: But again we're talking about the Denver Broncos on the 411 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: road as favorites, like I would love them in a 412 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 1: dog spot, but such a life. I made the bet 413 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: Jets Carolina game we talked about with t A yesterday 414 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: over forty four and a half. Jets don't have anything 415 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: go cooking on defense. I know they could probably get 416 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: some pressure with the defensive line, but their linebackers are 417 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: gonna get murdered in space by McCaffrey and um, their 418 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: secondary is gonna get torched by Robbie Anderson and that 419 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: gang first to thirty probably wins in And I know 420 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: that sounds high given a low total of forty four 421 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: and a half, but the Jets are gonna come out 422 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: throwing floor with the play action like This is a 423 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: lot of stuff Wilson's done dating back to college. UM. 424 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: Without question, they're gonna move the football on the Carolina 425 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: defense like you look at like Dante Jackson, good cornerback 426 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 1: j C. Horne, rookie UM. But the linebackers definitely don't 427 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 1: scare the Jets. Can they get to the second level? 428 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think we're gonna We're gonna 429 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: be surprised. But what the Jets have offensively, this is 430 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: not Adam Gays and Sam Donald last year. It feels 431 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: to me like thirty seven probably Carolina. I would lean 432 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: towards taking the Jets and the points, but I like 433 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: the over forty four and a half. I bet this. 434 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: I've talked about this for a week now. When right 435 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: before it started, Mac Jones was name the starter. It 436 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: felt like it was going that way. I thought that 437 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: this would take up. So I got Patriots favored by three. 438 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: It has come down to two and a half. I 439 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: don't get it, guys, I just don't get it. I 440 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: don't like anything about the Dolphins this year. I've made 441 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: that abundantly clear multiple times on the pod. Patriots are 442 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: better defensive line, Patriots are better offensive line. Remember left 443 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: tackle for the Dolphins, Austin Jackson in COVID protocol unlikely 444 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 1: to play to against Belichick. Like, come on, I know 445 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: the great cornerback Gilmore out for the Patriots, and I 446 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: saw another guy in the injury report that's also not great. 447 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: And I saw aglars on there. Again, it's Bill Belichick 448 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: intern opener with tons of time to prepare. Okay, look 449 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: what they did last year to Fitzpatrick and the opener. 450 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: Patriots rolled him. It was easy. Now the guy that 451 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: was a bit of a healthy cam. But I think 452 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: Matt gives them better options. I got the Patriots favored 453 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,719 Speaker 1: by three. If you can get to a half, I 454 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 1: like that even better. I bet Seattle at two. I 455 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 1: got a two and a half. Listen, I don't love 456 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: anybody going on the road. Um favored by three. Uh, 457 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: that's that's tough. But we're talking about Russell Wilson, who's incredible, 458 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: by the way, his September hotness the last two years 459 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,400 Speaker 1: seven and one, record, twenty three touchdowns, one interception. I mean, 460 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: you give me the edge, huge edge, Russell Wilson Carson Wentz. 461 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: Like if Carson Wentz gets the ball late and they're 462 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: down or touchdown, do you have any faith in him 463 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: coming back? None? None, whatsoever? Um, I just this Colts secondary. 464 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit overrated. People really thought 465 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: the Colts defense is awesome last year. Go look at 466 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: who they faced. Um and big big injury news for 467 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: the Colts are number one cornerback Xavier Rhodes, who was 468 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: top ten according to Pro Football Focused last year. Okay, 469 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: he has not practiced yet this week. If he's out, 470 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: your options to contend with dk met Caflan the outside 471 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: are rock your Sin and two thousand, twenty seventh round 472 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: pick bow Pete Keys never heard of. I think I 473 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: think Seattle. I like Seattle a lot. I don't love 474 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: it as much at three as I love it at 475 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: two and two and a half, but I have Uh, 476 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: I have Seattle. I also have Atlanta favored by three. 477 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: I'm feeling less confident about this now because a lot 478 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: of um just square betters, people who I don't really 479 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: respect their picks a lot. Uh they are also on Atlanta. 480 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: This is not a huge play for me. I think 481 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: the Falcons are gonna be good. I'm a believer in 482 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith. Um, listen what he did with Tannehill and 483 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,479 Speaker 1: now he's got Matt Ryan Lee. Um, we'll see how 484 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: the offensive line holds up. I like the two tight ends. 485 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: I like Atlanta favored by three at home. I took 486 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: the over in Casey Cleveland. I don't think we need 487 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: to go into that. I I wanted to make a 488 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: case for for the Browns, but I'm I'm gonna go 489 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: ahead and pass on that. I took the over in 490 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: Minnesota Cincinnati. I know it's a lot of overs, right, 491 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: that's one to three overs. If you include the um 492 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: Buccaneers Cowboys, that's another over. So I unders were popular 493 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: last year. I know COVID no fans, um, it's condensed. 494 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: Uh lead in there was no preseason like, I don't 495 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: know it. Uh. It was a bit risky to go 496 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: so many overs here. I just think there every game 497 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: to me feels a little short. Minnesota Cincinnati. Just look 498 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: at the depth chart on the secondary. Holy hell a, 499 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: Cincinnati's top cornerback is out. Yeah. And finally Denver favored 500 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: by three. Um again, oops, I already said Denver. All right. 501 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: The teaser that I like, And if you remember last 502 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: year in the playoffs, what was straight cash Homie was teasers. 503 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: They were auto matic. Okay, the teaser, that's an obvious layout. Um, 504 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, San fran and the Rams. Those three feel 505 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: like locks. If you want to toss m Casey not 506 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 1: Tampa's done so if you want to load up San 507 00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: Francisco and the Rams, San franc could be in a 508 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 1: little bit of a situation with Detroit. Um, I expected 509 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: to come out and play hard. I just think Kyle 510 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: Shanahan against Dan Campbell is a complete mismatch. And remember 511 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: this is San Francisco defense. I know they got rid 512 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: of Salat Salad moved on to the Jets, but deep 513 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: Damiko Ryan's is the d c uh. He was in 514 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: San Franz the last few years. He knows Jared Goff. 515 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: They know exactly what GoF does. Well. Um, I think 516 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 1: it's a huge edge of people just aren't talking enough 517 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: about like the familiarity they have. Um, we'll we'll pave 518 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: the way. And again it's Dan, Dan Campbell and Anthony 519 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: Lynn against Kyle Shanahan. Who are you taking in that one? 520 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: So that's a teaser. I really like. All right, that's 521 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: a lot of picks, um, probably too many. I don't 522 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 1: exactly know yet what I'm gonna do in the four 523 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: million dollar contest. I'll eventually post those on social media, 524 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: but uh, that that one. I spend just way too 525 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: much time Friday night, uh Saturday morning, just pouring over everything. 526 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:16,719 Speaker 1: I will say, I don't think I have the stomach 527 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: to take the Texans three and a half. I just, 528 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: I mean, I know that you have to take that. 529 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: You have to. I cannot do that four million dollar contest. 530 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 1: I and then Tyron Taylor like lays a massive dud, 531 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: and I just I can't. Um. I'm looking at well, 532 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: obviously Denver, Atlanta, uh, Seattle, Pittsburgh, UM, and uh, I 533 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: guess I don't like New Orleans this season, but I 534 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 1: have to kind of look deeper at them. So that's 535 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: that's kind of what I'm scouting. I'll be writing up 536 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: a piece for Fox Sports that goes up at some 537 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: point today, UM outlining uh some more picks that you guys, 538 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: you know you need more picks.

College football will buzz through through these 543 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: real quick I was State monus four. Another piece I 544 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 1: wrote for for Fox Sports with my they want me 545 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,160 Speaker 1: picking the toughest games of the week, meaning the best 546 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: games of the week, and those are usually with the 547 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: least edges. I think Iowa State, I think they were 548 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: favored by seven on the look ahead, and I will 549 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: rolled the Iowa State struggled so pressto I get a 550 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: short line. I was stayed to get the better team 551 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 1: at home. I mean, I don't I'd rather three, but 552 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: I'll take the four. I mean, it's pretty clear that 553 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: the market is staying on four, not going to three 554 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: for a reason. Um. I grabbed some Toledo against Notre Dame, 555 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: getting seventeen. Notre Dame in a good letdown spot, and 556 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 1: by the way, they had a ton of injuries, especially 557 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: at linebacker and left tackle. A future pro um irish 558 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: or banged up. I can see them kind of sleep 559 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: walking through if you want. If you don't want to 560 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: take Toledo for the full game, take the first half. 561 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: I took the over on Oregon Ohio State. I I 562 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: also bet at fourteen when it came out. I don't 563 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: love fourteen and a half just because fourteen can be 564 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 1: you know, listen. That could be a key number. It's 565 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: not like a three or seven, but you know, you 566 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: keep going on the list, and fourteen's big. Ohio State's 567 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: gonna get forty. The question is Oregon gonna get twenty four? 568 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: Fun stat I unearthed for Fox Sports. Ohio State had 569 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: four plays of fifty plus yards from scrimmage in week 570 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: one four. There were teams last year that had four 571 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: for the whole season, like good teams like Albert or 572 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: decent teams like Albert. Ohio States is just a juggernaut, 573 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: man um I have I took a nibble out of Washington. 574 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: That is a definite hold your nose play. Washington Huskies 575 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 1: were awful last week, lost to Montana. Nobody wants to 576 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: bet them at all. That's when I'll go in on 577 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: Washington in the Big House. Fun staff that I saw 578 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: pretty wild. Michigan did not beat a Power five team 579 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: in ann Arbor last year. You have to go all 580 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: the way back to nineteen to find a win in 581 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 1: the Big House over a power five. Now they beat 582 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: Mr Michigan last week in the Big House. They're not 583 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: Power five Like pretty interesting that Michigan has been very, 584 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: very ordinary and pedestrian in recent years. So I also 585 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 1: took Utah favored by seven. I know it's a holy war, 586 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 1: huge rivelry. I took it anyway, and my final one 587 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: for the second week in a row. And again this 588 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: is a hey, I'm on South Alabama. J you want 589 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: to tell me special from a friend, I'll take a 590 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: South Alabama. UM, tell me if you want. So that's 591 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: a lot of NFL picks, guys. I know you just 592 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: come here for the picks. Everybody wants to fast forward 593 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: to the end the process of what leads today. It's 594 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: like I tell my kids, like the more you practice anything, 595 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: whether it's the flute, whether it's piano, UM, that's how 596 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna get better. And if you enhance your practice routine, 597 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 1: your results will eventually show up. My process has been 598 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 1: getting better and better in gambling. I'm hopeful that this 599 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: is a monster year for me and for you guys. 600 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: All right, everybody, have a great weekend. We'll talk to 601 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: you Monday.
