First one up 51 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: nine ers minus four and a half at Minnesota last game. 52 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: In biggest debate between the two of us, we were 53 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: not on consensus in this at noon. You said, and 54 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: I'm quoting, I know it's a trap. I just like 55 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: this Niners team. If it doesn't work out, blame me 56 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: on the show. I don't like to play the blame 57 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: game because you're my bff and we're in this together. 58 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: But I still don't get why we liked the Niners. 59 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: We like walked away from it. It was all over 60 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: sharp calls. Kerner like hated it and convinced me hated 61 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 1: the Niners, love the Vikings. What happened? What changed our 62 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: thinking here? 63 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was it was a bad week to go 64 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 2: with the favorites. I just thought it was clearly an 65 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: overreaction to Week one, and Sean nailed it the Vikings, 66 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 2: even if it was just the Giants that kind of 67 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: previewed about what kind of team they wanted to be 68 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: this season, and it rolled over into this. 69 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 3: Forty nine Ers game, and yeah. 70 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: The everything that could go wrong did go wrong for 71 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers, right, they didn't play the game 72 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 2: they're used to playing. But Sam Darnold still made big 73 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: time throws in big plays. So at the end of 74 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: the day, yeah, things then bounce our way. But that 75 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: was that was a bad number and you nailed it, 76 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: like I I basically you were just like, we love 77 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 2: the Bengals, we should put the Bengals in. 78 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 3: You've been on the Bengals all week. 79 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: And this was that was the team we switched out for, 80 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: was this forty nine Ers team. So yeah, they picked 81 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 2: a bad week to straight away from what this podcast is, 82 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 2: which is betting ugly dogs and not taking chalk favorites. 83 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm gonna own that one. That was a 84 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: bad switch out taking this forty nine Ers team. 85 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Niners were off. This entire game, the epitome 86 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: of what went wrong for this team. There was a 87 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: sequence where they went for it on fourth down at 88 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: the Vikings goal line, didn't make it. Next series, Sam 89 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: Darnold hits Justin Jefferson for a ninety seven yard touchdown pass. 90 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: Like that was the epitome of this game. And we 91 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: got to give credit to Kevin O'Connell. Nobody wants to 92 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: say how how good of a coach Kevin O'Connell is. 93 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: But at this point, Sam Donald two games two and zero, 94 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: one win on the road, one win against the defending 95 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: conference champion in the NFC, four hundred and seventy six 96 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: passing years, four touchdown, just two picks QB rating about 97 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: one hundred and ten. 98 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 99 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: Like, there was one point in this game where he 100 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: threw a bad pick to Fred Warner and the Niners 101 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: were getting themselves back in the game, and I'm like, 102 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: all right, Sam Donald is back to Sam donalding and 103 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: the Niners just could not capitalize. It was fucking excruciating. 104 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: We were just brutal. 105 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, two quarterbacks. I was down coming into this season, 106 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 2: Sam Donald, therek Carr. We're zero for four right now 107 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 2: betting against these two guys in our contest, and they're both. 108 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: Putting up career numbers. 109 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 2: So yeah, if Derek Carr was to sending me and 110 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 2: Chad some because we were the reason we sparked this 111 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 2: outpour of averaging forty points per game, reach out to us, 112 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 2: I'm happy to take some because I am I'm broke 113 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 2: jed trying to fake these two terrible quarterbacks. So yeah, 114 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: Sam Darnold definitely had me eating some humble pie he 115 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: bought out in this game. 116 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm going to skip ahead since you 117 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: talked about Derek Carr, and I'm going to go to 118 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: the Saints and the Cowboys. I hope that's okay with 119 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 1: producer Tito because it was a different order in the rundown. 120 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: But look, yeah, but look, we loved the Cowboys this week. 121 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: We so bought into the Cowboys. We so bought into 122 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: the idea of what Dak has been at home as 123 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: a big favorite. What Mike McCarthy has been at home 124 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: as a big favorite. The last seventeen games at home, 125 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: they had outscored opponents by two hundred and sixty five points. 126 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: They hadn't been down by eleven points in the first 127 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: quarter at home in four years. We had a Saints 128 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: team that beat up on the Panthers that we were 129 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: not buying. Derek Carr only through sixteen passes in the 130 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: game and had two hundred and forty three yards and 131 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: a couple of tuddies and has been and this team's 132 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: lightened teams up for forty points a game, even going 133 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: back to last season, like, what are we missing here? 134 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: What do we miss on the Cowboys? What are we 135 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: missing on the Saints? 136 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: It's got a do qbiac right, he came in. 137 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 3: He's their new OC. 138 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: And you see a change right that that offense they 139 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: ran against the Cowboys, they basically had the Cowboys on 140 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: tilt the entire game. The Cowboys were never comfortable. I mean, 141 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 2: I think they drove got seven. Cowboys, drove the field, 142 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: kicked the field goal, they got the ball back, and 143 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: they drove the field again and got it for seven. 144 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: And then Komara just took over from there like it 145 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 2: was a great just a great game all around from 146 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: the Saints. Like, there's really nothing to take away from 147 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 2: it other than maybe I'll downgrade Dallas a little bit, right. 148 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,599 Speaker 2: I think we did see that they do have weaknesses 149 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: and if the starters do get tired on that d line, 150 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 2: they don't have secondary guys to come in, right, And 151 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 2: you saw a little bit of the weakness on the 152 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 2: Dallas front line right over time when they had to 153 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: go into pass pro. There's definitely some weaknesses for their 154 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: past blocking. So yeah, interesting game again, Still not going 155 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: to overreact to it. Like the Saints, I'll move them up. 156 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 2: They are definitely a better team than I perceived they 157 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: would be coming this year, right, They clearly I found 158 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 2: something here at Derek Carr and we talk all the time, right, 159 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: Chad the hot hand, Like this could just be a streak, Right, 160 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 2: he could just be hot right now, He'll eventually cool 161 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: often go the other way. 162 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 3: But I don't. I'm with you. 163 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to step in front 164 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 2: of this next week, even if we have a good number, 165 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: which looking at the look ahead, I think the value. 166 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 3: Might be on the Saints team. 167 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 2: So It is interesting going out where it's like, when 168 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 2: do you eventually sell on the Saints team because they 169 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 2: are playing way above their head. 170 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 3: Right they're back to back forty point weeks. 171 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: That's not what the Saints offense is going to be 172 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: as good as qubac might be in this new system. 173 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 2: This is just incredible right now what they're doing. So, yeah, 174 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 2: that was terrible read. Cowboys. Yeah, we talked about beforehand. 175 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 2: We knew another game. We knew was a heavy public play. 176 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 2: We just thought coming in the Cowboys were a little underrated. 177 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: Still apparently they're properly rated. 178 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 3: Chad. 179 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: We were right the first time. Is basically what we're saying. 180 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 1: The Saints had four hundred and thirty two total yards. 181 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 1: They averaged they averaged seven point seven yards per play, 182 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: seven point seven yards per play. They had just under 183 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: two hundred yards rushing. Kamara had four touchdowns. It's almost 184 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: like Derek Carr and Alvin Kamara where the Derek Carr 185 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: and Alvin Kamara in the best seasons individually each one 186 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: had ever had before. They were just astonishing, and the 187 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys were outplayed in every area of the field. It's 188 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: so complicated with this Saints team. Right now. We thought 189 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: their offensive line was terrible and that Micah Parsons would 190 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: have his way, and it's almost like whatever the Saints 191 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: wanted to do running the ball, they could do. It 192 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: was more like the It was also the second game 193 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: in a row where early in the first or second 194 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: series Derek carr unleashes the ball to Rashid Shahid for 195 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: a long touchdown. The number of explosive plays they had 196 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: against this Cowboys team, it was just wow. That was 197 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: a beatdown, a total beatdown. By the way, Sean Kerner 198 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: ten to zero on his props this week so far, 199 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: which is. 200 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: That's including his he had that under he gave out 201 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 2: and he gave out the vikings, So. 202 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: Sean Cerner couldn't be high all right now, you. 203 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 2: Go, yeah, props totals straight belts. 204 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 1: But here's what's even cooler. Here's what's even cooler. Nick 205 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: Giffen unconvinced me this morning gave out Saints Cowboys to 206 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: be the highest scoring game of the day according to 207 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: his luck rankings. I don't know if Evan can do 208 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: the numbers and do a quick check because I can't 209 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: think of every game, but every game today seemed to 210 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: be pretty ugly. So right now that game is probably 211 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: what sixty three points or something like that. Right now, 212 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: that might be. And that was ten to one to 213 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: be the highest scoring game of the day Nick Giffen, 214 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: based on the luck rankings, getting it from Billy Ward, 215 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: one of our Action Network analytics gurus. So pretty impressive 216 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: for the Action Network analytics team, not as impressive for 217 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: the Action Network non analytics team of Simon and Chad. 218 00:12:58,480 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 3: Today. 219 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: That is, by the way, easily the highest scoring game 220 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:01,839 Speaker 1: of the day. 221 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 2: All right, I did, I did go to in one. 222 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 3: Convince me. 223 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: I know you don't care, but five ten people out 224 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 2: there might care. 225 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: I care. Listen, I care about all of it. You know, 226 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 1: we got to own our tough days. We got to 227 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: own our wins. You went to and want to convince 228 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: me that's impressive. I think uh Raybon actually had Cleveland 229 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: and he had his under on Tampa and uh Green 230 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: Bay head or Tampa and the Lions hit, but he 231 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 1: didn't hit on his h on his prop. All right, touchdowns, 232 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 1: I think you only had one touchdown and then brutal. Yeah, 233 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: it was brutal box at Lions we're talking about. We 234 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: never fucking bet favorites, and we decided like we were 235 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: going all in on favorites this we know there are 236 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: such fucking schmucks. It's ridiculous. Yeah, oh my god. The Lions, 237 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,120 Speaker 1: they just they wanted to give this away. We gave 238 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: the Lions way too much credit for how they beat 239 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: the Rams, not enough credit to Baker in the Bucks 240 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: for the way they beat the Commanders. Like the Lions 241 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: I think were zero for five in the red zone 242 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: or something like that, including a penalty on the final 243 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: play of the first half, to keep them from attempting 244 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: a field goal. Like they're just out of sorts. They 245 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: were out of sorts against the Rams. We thought it 246 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: might have just been game planning by the Rams. Is 247 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: it worse than we think for this Lion's team. 248 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: I think we're not. We're kind of Glazinger who is 249 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: the blamer? And it's GoF right. 250 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 3: He played terrible. 251 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 2: He kept putting his team in terrible positions. Not just 252 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 2: his interceptions were terrible, but everything he was doing. 253 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: Even on third downs. His reads were bad. 254 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 2: He was always going, he was always falling back, thrown 255 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: off his back foot, even if there wasn't pressure in 256 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: the middle. He was acting as if there was not 257 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 2: going through his reads, not pushing the ball downfield. Like 258 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 2: we talked going into this game, this team is on 259 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: their fourth and fifth cornerbacks and they're all pro safeties 260 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: out Like, there was no for this team to put 261 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: up sixteen points here at home. And the worst part 262 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 2: of that game is the Bucks let them in it, right, 263 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 2: They kept kicking field goals instead of getting touchdown. 264 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 3: So this game was always close throughout. 265 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: So I kept doing the crummy math in my head, like, well, 266 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: me and chat just need this to break this way 267 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 2: and we can get to that number, when that number 268 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 2: was dead on arrival, like we were just never getting there. 269 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 3: The way Goff was playing that game, he was just awful. 270 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 2: Sono can overreact to it. I think once they get 271 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: it going, I still think their defense played pretty well. 272 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 2: I mean they shut down Mike Evans for the most part, 273 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 2: and I know Godwin beat them in a lot of ways, 274 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 2: but I think the Detroit would have taken the way 275 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 2: that game played out right. They really shut down the run. 276 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 2: Baker had a couple amazing plays where he ran outside 277 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: the pocket and you know, was throwing headfakes on guys, 278 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: Guy's going flying by him. Like that was a classic 279 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 2: great game by Baker where he knew he didn't have 280 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 2: all his pieces there and he still made it work 281 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 2: and was able to get the twenty points. 282 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 3: So yeah, that to me was definitely a. 283 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 2: Golf lost that game rather than you know, that whole 284 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: Detroit team played bad. I thought defensively they played pretty well, 285 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: and even offensively, a lot of his guys were getting open. Again, 286 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 2: we have to go back and watch the all twenty two, 287 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 2: but just from what I watched, I just think Golf 288 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: was on that really let us down in this game. 289 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 2: Like they had a bunch of opportunities, he couldn't capitalize 290 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 2: on them, and like you just said before half, you know, 291 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 2: him getting that false start over the penalty was and 292 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: then getting kicked off the field and getting zero points 293 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: rather than getting three points for going in. It's just 294 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 2: like it's all falls on him at the end of 295 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 2: the day. So yeah, bad day to back these quarterbacks 296 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 2: of these big favorites. 297 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: That made a difference by the way that play, I 298 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: think it was thirteen six. You go in thirteen to nine, 299 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: it changes what you're doing in the second half, It 300 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: changes some of the play calling throughout the game. Aiden Hutchinson, 301 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: by the way, you know who we bet fourteen to 302 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: one to lead the league in sacks at four and 303 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: a half for five sacks today, like, but to me, 304 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: that was also just indicative of how good the Lions 305 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: can be, how they should have won this game. Baker 306 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: was scrambling for his life. He made a lot of 307 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 1: really great plays, but the Lions had this game. It 308 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: was Theirs for the taking, not just that like you, 309 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: I was doing the Gamblers math too. It was Theirs 310 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: for the taking to run away with it like they 311 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: should have just dominated in this game. Their play calling 312 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: was bad, golf was bad, Their defense gave up the 313 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: wrong plays at the wrong times. Bad penalties just so frustrating, 314 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: so frustrating to watch this game. Equally frustrating. Steelers of 315 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: Denver Denver plus two and a half Mike Tomlin mirror 316 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: records basically as a road dog, brilliant, as a road favorite, 317 00:17:55,119 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: terrible except rookie mistakes, so many penalties in this game. 318 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: Bonnicks just could not get the ball downfield, pick in 319 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: the end zone when they were driving. That was a 320 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 1: huge play. It turns out we loved Denver here love them, 321 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: didn't This was one of the games we did not waiver, 322 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: did not waiver at all. 323 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 2: No, it's the same game we're talking a little bit 324 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 2: the Green Bay game where it's like I trusted the 325 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 2: number and the spot, the situation with the team, and Yeah, 326 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 2: if you would have come to me and said, Pittsburgh's 327 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 2: only to score thirteen points, do you still want to 328 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 2: make this bet? I probably would still make a child. 329 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. Like, of course Denver. Denver's team 330 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 2: did their job, and you know, justin fields, he's playing 331 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 2: super smart conservative, which is exactly how Tomlin wants him 332 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 2: to play. 333 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: Right. 334 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: He basically told him, you can lose us this game. 335 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 2: We don't need you to win it, right. They have 336 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 2: the pieces around him to win the games for them. 337 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 2: That comes on the defensive side. So when they drove 338 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: the field got that early touchdown, I still thought to myself, 339 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 2: you know what, Denver's defense will will figure this out. 340 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 3: We'll be our We'll stay in this. 341 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,119 Speaker 2: We just need to get three points, even six points 342 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 2: at some point in this game, right, And then I 343 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 2: think it was midway through the third quarter, it's still 344 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 2: like seven to nothing or ten nothing, and it's just, yeah, 345 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 2: we're never gonna get there like this kid will never 346 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 2: get us there, and you said it. He gets us 347 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: down there after a miracle trick play and threws a 348 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 2: pick in the end zone, and it's just those are 349 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 2: brutal beat and your bet on these rookie quarterbacks. So 350 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 2: uh yeah, that's that's a tough loss, but it's a 351 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 2: spot we're usually gonna play. This Pittsburgh team, you know what, 352 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 2: they score eighteen their first game, thirteen their second game. 353 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: They're two and oh now going on to play against 354 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 2: a Chargers team that might not have Herbert who got 355 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 2: banged up in their games. 356 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 3: So yeah, we're we're. 357 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 2: Definitely regretting betting they're under. I mean, we talked about 358 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 2: this Pittsburgh team. It's later in the year that their 359 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 2: schedule is gonna get really brutal. But this is Tomlin's 360 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 2: such a Tomlin identit team of just winning with a 361 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 2: really grinding out defense, with an offense that just does 362 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 2: nothing for them, and they somehow keep getting wins. 363 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: So uh yeah. 364 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 2: Another team that's gonna make us eat it right now 365 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 2: is Pittsburgh. They just they started this year incredibly and 366 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: again they're two and oh going home to play against 367 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 2: the team without maybe Herbert. That's that's incredible. Think about 368 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 2: like they're leading their division right now, right and the 369 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: Bengals are sitting there, oh and too, Ravens are sitting there, 370 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: ow and two. I get a Pittsburgh fans, fill yourself. 371 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 2: I've been hearing from them my mentions all week and 372 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 2: you're right. I just I did not think this was 373 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 2: going to be a favorable spot for you guys offensively, 374 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 2: and you didn't need it. Your defense is that dominant. 375 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, pretty incredible start to the season for. 376 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Bengals zho and two, Ravens, oh and two, Brown's 377 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: one and one, Steelers two and oh. That's why the 378 00:20:54,680 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: NFL is so great. That's why Sundays are so excruciating, 379 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: like gut wrenching. I tried so hard to like find 380 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 1: my zen so many times today. My mom called me 381 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: right as the late the early games were ending, like 382 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 1: I didn't snap, I kept my composure. My wife came 383 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: in at some point because she wanted to talk about 384 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: when the guys can come to redo the floors in 385 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 1: our older kids' bedroom and like it's going to be noisy, 386 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: and when are my show is going to be and 387 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, I looked at my calendar. I kept my composure. 388 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: You know, I didn't. I didn't snap. It was only once. 389 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: It was only once where she wanted to talk to 390 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: me about something else, like I can't something else later 391 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: this week, and I just looked at her and I go, 392 00:21:54,720 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: I just can't engage on this conversation right now. Can 393 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: we just do this another day? She to me, She goes, 394 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: I got it. I understand. Nothing helped nothing. I should 395 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: have snapped. I should have taken my computer thrown across 396 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: the room because maybe it would have inspired people on 397 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: the TV screens. 398 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 2: We got sixty more weeks, Chad, and we're just one 399 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 2: five and oh week away from me eight and seven, 400 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 2: So don't you worry. I'm not gonna say panicky yet, 401 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 2: but let me tell you this much, people, If me 402 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 2: and Chad don't go at least three and two next week, 403 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 2: I'm really fucking pissed off right now. I'm pissed off, 404 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 2: But I'm like, I think, Chad, you said best before 405 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 2: even we even did our picks. Not that I'm letting 406 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,159 Speaker 2: the fans make our picks here, but there were some 407 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 2: ugly dogs I like this week and I simply didn't 408 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 2: even bring them up. And I even said to Chad, 409 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 2: I was like, I don't want these fans the mutiny 410 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: against us. I want to go chalk. So the fans 411 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 2: were happy and that Chad didn't say fuck the fans, 412 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 2: but as politely as Chad could put it, he said, dude, 413 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 2: who fucking cares with the fans? Make give me your 414 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 2: best picks. And I didn't do it. 415 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 3: So I'm filled with regret on that. 416 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 2: And going forward, it won't be Carolina, it won't be 417 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 2: the Giants, but man, we're gonna be playing some fucking 418 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 2: ugly dogs. We're getting back to what made us so great. 419 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 2: So yeah, no more, no more six and a half 420 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 2: seven point favorites. I can't believe that happened this week. 421 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,719 Speaker 1: Well, look to speak to that. You loved the Raiders 422 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: this week. You talked about the Raiders winning this game outright, 423 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: we didn't even talk about the Raiders. 424 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 3: You hated them. 425 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 2: That's why it's like, if you hated I don't want to. 426 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 3: I don't want to. I don't want to. 427 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 2: Bring up a team that looked like complete dog shit. 428 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 2: When you immediately like I hate it, I'm like, I agree. 429 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 2: They looked horrible against the Chargers. I had no rebuttal 430 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 2: to what you said, Antonio Pierce, that was one of 431 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 2: the worst coaching jobs. But you're right, like that's a 432 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 2: that's a line I loved. I still somehow let us 433 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 2: put a survivor and I'm out of all my survivor pools. 434 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 2: So I don't even know, do you still have to 435 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 2: do that fucking shit? I don't know if I haven't 436 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: left in me, dude, Like I've never been out two 437 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 2: weeks in a row. 438 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: Now we're spiraling. Now, we're just in a bad place. 439 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: We tried to keep it together for a good twenty 440 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: five minutes and we are just no. 441 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 2: That survivor hurt because I saw that coming a mile 442 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 2: the way and I still stepped right into it. 443 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: Oh my god. I'm been a survivor where you got 444 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: to choose two teams at least twice between two and ten. 445 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: Between weeks two and weeks ten, I chose the Ravens 446 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys. Right, I'm like, double. 447 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 2: Out, it's not out. 448 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: So we didn't do the Raiders, didn't even discuss it. 449 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: We like, we talked about the Browns a lot, and 450 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: I felt like I felt like I liked the Browns 451 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: more than you did, definitely, but we were both nervous 452 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: about Deshaun Watson. Yeah, Trevor Lawrence is. I don't think 453 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: he's very good. He's like like fourteen of thirty for 454 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: two hundred twenty yards and he is just missing players 455 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: making bad decisions. I continue to not see what people 456 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: are seeing that makes them believe this can be a 457 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 1: playoff caliber team. 458 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 2: No, you're right, and he was definitely my biggest miss 459 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 2: of since we've been doing the show of guys coming 460 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 2: out of college into the draft class. Right, I did 461 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 2: put him up there as a Camus prospect. Though this 462 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 2: kid will be a pro bowler, the leadest team to 463 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 2: the playoffs. He's going to be a staple for a 464 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 2: team for ten years. And you're right, he's not looked 465 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 2: that way in a year. So the one year he 466 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 2: was good to us, he got me and Chad the 467 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 2: big win ten to one in their division, and I 468 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 2: think that's why we have a little bit of a 469 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 2: sweet spot for him. 470 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 3: But you're complete correct. 471 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 2: I mean that game, he had opportunities and he did 472 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 2: not take advantage of it, and he was just terrible 473 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,639 Speaker 2: for about three quarters. 474 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 1: So he had so many chances to win that game. 475 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: It was just astonishing how frustrating that was to watch. 476 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: He's now lost his last seven starts, including four games 477 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: as a favorite. So certainly we're going to be betting 478 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,159 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars next week, all right, So those are 479 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: the games that we left out good for us. By 480 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,360 Speaker 1: the way, we didn't bet the Giants and Daniel Jones. 481 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: We stayed away from the Titans and Will Levis. We 482 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: obviously didn't do the Panthers. Like a lot of the 483 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: games where we could have been tempted, we weren't. We 484 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 1: just made bad decisions about the games that ultimately we 485 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: put in, which is unfortunate. One of the good decisions 486 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: which we were. 487 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,719 Speaker 2: On the rams in either though, that was another thing 488 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 2: we talked about. 489 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, we talked about the Rams. We stayed 490 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: away from that, so you know what good for us? 491 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: Good for it came to basically, it came down to 492 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: like four or five games that were coin flips, and 493 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: we just made the wrong choices on four or five 494 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: four or five. 495 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 2: Back weeks of that though, like the games we left 496 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 2: out no doubters, and this week in the Patriots, we 497 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 2: talked about briefly because they were three and a half 498 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 2: and we left them out and it's like, of course 499 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: that came right down to that number. 500 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 3: Typical. 501 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: We did not take the bait on the Colts when 502 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: Malik Willis was the starter. In fact, we liked the Packers. 503 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: The wise guys liked the Packers. This line moved from 504 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: three and a half to three, down to two. Closed 505 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: at three. Anthony Richardson came down to earth through ugly picks, 506 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: confused outmatch. But this was Matt Lafleur, like just a 507 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,280 Speaker 1: brilliant game plan from the very beginning. He made Malik 508 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: Willis comfortable and had this Packers team dominating. 509 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I feel like we both nailed it right. 510 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 2: We said we'd believe in little Floor getting somehow figuring 511 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 2: this out, and we said we didn't think Green Bay's 512 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 2: defense was as bad as they played in that Eagles game, 513 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 2: and that they would have ways to attack Anthony Richardson 514 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 2: and kind of make them one dimensional. 515 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 3: That's what happened in this game. 516 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 2: I mean, Anthony never got any type of rhythm even 517 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 2: even heading to that fourth quarter. They finally were able 518 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 2: to drive the field and get a touchdown but it 519 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 2: just took them forever to kind of get that together 520 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 2: where Green Blay played just the exact game they wanted 521 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 2: to play, right. I think Molik only threw the ball 522 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 2: ten times maybe I remember at one point he was 523 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 2: aprin nine for like fifty yards and it's like, okay, 524 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 2: this is how Lafour is going to play this right, 525 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 2: just super conservative, Just feed Josh Jacobs to eat away 526 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: at that clock. And they did exactly what they want 527 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 2: to do that. That game couldn't have gone any more 528 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 2: perfect for that Green Bay team. You know, the two 529 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 2: and a half never in doubt, right, that was like 530 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 2: our one little conversation beforehand was well, obviously we wish 531 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 2: we had the three, the three and a half, which 532 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: most people in their contest were having, or if you're 533 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 2: going to bet it against the spread, but another nice spot, 534 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 2: we don't let it scare us off. We were just like, 535 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 2: you know what, this is still a good number even 536 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 2: if Anthony Richardson hit that hellmeor we were still good 537 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 2: with the cover. That's always a nice spot to be 538 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,719 Speaker 2: And so yeah, desperately need one win today to avoid 539 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 2: are never We've never gone over five, which is not 540 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 2: that great of a claim to fame, but it is 541 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 2: for us. This is year six avoided it thanks to 542 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 2: the Green Bay team with her backup quarterback, and that 543 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 2: to me, that game sums up this show though, Right, Chad, 544 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 2: there was a bunch of reasons why we shouldn't have 545 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 2: taken Green Bay, but we trusted the number, trusted the coaching. 546 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,960 Speaker 3: And at the end of the day, there was never 547 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 3: a doubt between those two things. 548 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 2: Right. There was definitely a coaching advantage and the number 549 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 2: was just a great number to be on. So yeah, 550 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 2: thank god we got that win. 551 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: Malik Willis thirteen of fourteen in the game. But to 552 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: give you an example of what kind of uh, what 553 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: kind of passes? He was throwing eight yards per pass, 554 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty two total yards, Like he was 555 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: just throwing to the first guy. It was open within 556 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: four or five yards of the line of scrimmage. Had 557 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: a lot of great runs forty one yards rushing, but 558 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: this was Josh Jacobs, you know, one hundred and fifty 559 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: one yards rushing. The only the only bad thing was 560 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: fumbling as he went into the end zone. In years 561 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: past and in weeks past, that has burned us significantly. 562 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: When a team is up ten to nothing, about to score, 563 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: and it seems to happen like at least four or 564 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: five times a year. That happened last week with Travis 565 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 1: atn when we had the Jags at plus three and 566 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: a half, barely got out of that game with a win. 567 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: But it didn't burn us because Matt Lafleur is impervious 568 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: to those kind of mistakes. That's how good of a 569 00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: coach he is. All right, So one and four not great, 570 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: not great, but different decision making. We could have been 571 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: two and three, we could have been three and two. 572 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: We got to work with each other. We got to 573 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: continue to communicate, We got to continue you know what 574 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: we got to do. We just got to tell each 575 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: other the truth. We just we just we have to 576 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: tell us each other exactly what we're thinking about, whatever 577 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 1: we're thinking. We can't try to be nice to each other. 578 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: Just cold hard truths. 579 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 2: Simon, you can't handle the truth, Well. 580 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,760 Speaker 1: That's also true, but I can handle that, Sue, get 581 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: it right again. 582 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 2: It's just we've made we took positions made earlier reads 583 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 2: and I just said it. At the base of our 584 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 2: biggest issue right now is we're zero for four in 585 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 2: this contest against Sam Darnald and Derek Carr that we 586 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 2: can We can talk all day when we want about 587 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 2: all our different picks. That is our biggest issues right 588 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 2: now is we are being murdered by Sam Donald and 589 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 2: Derek Carr in the year twenty twenty four. 590 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: Oh my god, betting is the worst. 591 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 2: It's the best. 592 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: It's just the worst. But now I'm looking at these 593 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: lines next week, and with. 594 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 2: Some good ones, there's there's nothing that jumps out to you. 595 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 2: What do you think easiest one right now is the 596 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: Saints are plus two and a half against the Eagles. 597 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: So I was looking at that, but I wanted to 598 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: see you know, that stinks. 599 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 2: People were coming on the especially if they wipe the 600 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 2: floor with this Atlanta team. So that's one, like Chad 601 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 2: was about to say, we could wait and see on that. Right, 602 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 2: maybe the Eagles do win big and we can get 603 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 2: a plus three, but there's something effishly about that Eagles 604 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 2: line in generally. I think you were on earlier this 605 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 2: week or you talked how you kind of liked Atlanta. 606 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna grab a two and a half just 607 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 2: in case the Eagles do somehow lose this game and 608 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 2: this number does drop down to a pick because right now, 609 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 2: the way the Saints are playing, I don't think the 610 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 2: Eagles are two and a half points better than them 611 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,000 Speaker 2: right like that, That to me feels like a little 612 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 2: bit of a reaction where this Eagles team is good, 613 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 2: but they're not that completely formed team. They're just gonna 614 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 2: go on the road and roll this Saints team by 615 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 2: three points. I just I think that's an interesting early line. 616 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 2: Another one that jumped out to me. I don't know 617 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 2: how you feel about this one is the Titans their 618 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 2: minus two at home against Malik. I know That's what 619 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 2: I'm saying, though, Like this is a gross spot you 620 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,959 Speaker 2: kind of want to play where it's like everyone's out 621 00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 2: in Tennessee. 622 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 3: No one's going to be on Tennisee in the spot. 623 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 2: That was just another one that jumped out to me, 624 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,600 Speaker 2: Chad Chad hates all right, let's find something that Chad 625 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,239 Speaker 2: no no. I did. 626 00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: I look. I saw. I looked at the Tennessee game, 627 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: and I'm like. 628 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 2: What about Raiders minus seven against the fucking Panthers? Can 629 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 2: we can we listen to our fans who told us 630 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 2: just bet against the Panthers every week for a year 631 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 2: and see how it works out for us, which right now, 632 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 2: that guy's two. 633 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 3: And o this season. 634 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew with two and O. 635 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 2: Who's I'm saying, people are whoever? 636 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:29,240 Speaker 1: Whoever? 637 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 2: I don't Caroline every week just bet the other side, 638 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 2: and uh, they're they're they're they're right. 639 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 3: They should be hosting this show. 640 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: What about Baltimore is a one point favorite in or 641 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: Dallas is a one point dog against Baltimore at home. 642 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 3: I got no clue to what. 643 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 2: To do with that line because a pardon me, wants 644 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 2: to take Lamar like, but I have no I have 645 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 2: no read on that one.

I'll turn 647 00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,479 Speaker 2: to Evan once that trend comes around that I fl 648 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 2: more flip to a dog. 649 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 3: I'll probably be on Lamar. Right, but people are going 650 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 3: to bet that Professional or. 651 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: Republic rams seven and a half underdogs at home against 652 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: San Francisco. 653 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 3: Another line like, I'll take it, but. 654 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a game we want to bet for sure. 655 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: The wise guys are going to come in and move that. 656 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,439 Speaker 1: They're gonna take that hook right away. 657 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 2: I have a lot of really hooks like you can 658 00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 2: get Vikings plus three and a half against the Texans, 659 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 2: and you can get Arizona plus three and a half 660 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,239 Speaker 2: against Detroit. Like, those are also hooks. Where do you 661 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 2: think those hooks go down? You think destroy ends minus three? 662 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 3: Yep? 663 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: I think the Rams at seven plus seven. 664 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 2: Rams are seven and a half on bet three six five. 665 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I think they're gonna 666 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: go to say I think it's gonna go okay minus seven. 667 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 3: They could, but. 668 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 2: They're fucking bad man, that Rams team. Like Cooper cup 669 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,959 Speaker 2: our guy, he had a bad ankle in the second quarter. 670 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 2: He didn't play the rest of that game. I know 671 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 2: they were down by thirty points of that game. But 672 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 2: so you have no Puka, no Cooper, and you have 673 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,879 Speaker 2: I think only one starter left on their offensive line. 674 00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 2: The line does make sense, so I don't want to 675 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 2: get too ahead of it. I might not fire away 676 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 2: on that one yet because I can't see that one 677 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:30,879 Speaker 2: going down. 678 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 3: It's just all bad, just real quick. 679 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,359 Speaker 2: I want to get your early feeling about this before 680 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 2: the Bears even play Bears plus one and a half 681 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 2: at the Colts next week. 682 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. I looked at that. 683 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 2: You think they covered tonight that goes down to a pick. Yes, 684 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw a little on the Bears, even though 685 00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 2: I have bet Houston. I do think Houston covers tonight. 686 00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 2: I don't know if the Colts deserve to be a 687 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 2: favorite over anybody right now. Now. 688 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: Their defense was not good, and their rush defense especially 689 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: was really bad. The problem is, like what we've seen 690 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: from Shane Steichen as a coach is more impressive than 691 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: what we've seen from that Ebra Fluse as a coach, 692 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,760 Speaker 1: whereas laflor is a top five coach in the NFL. 693 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 1: So like the game plan will be different. They'll be 694 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: at home. I think it'll be a little bit like 695 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:40,800 Speaker 1: I like the way this is lined right now. I 696 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 1: might even take the Colts because I think if the 697 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:49,160 Speaker 1: Bears get killed, which they probably will tonight, could go 698 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:49,919 Speaker 1: a little bit higher. 699 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 2: We'll just keep it a little clean so people know 700 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 2: exactly what I'm grabbing. I'm grabbing Tennessee now minus two 701 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,319 Speaker 2: against Green Bay. I'm in the Saints right now plus 702 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:02,839 Speaker 2: two and a half against. 703 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 3: The Eagles, and I gotta do it, man. I got 704 00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 3: to grab the Raiders minus seven against the Panthers. It's 705 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 3: just I can't get over how poorly coached. 706 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,600 Speaker 2: This Panthers team is in every aspect, from the defensive 707 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 2: side to the offensive side. 708 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 3: It's all so bad. And at least this. 709 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 2: Raiders team, I feel like more and more we're seeing 710 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 2: exactly what their identity is, right Chad. It's like they 711 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 2: got this defensive line that they're not going to always 712 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 2: give you problems. When they need to, they can give 713 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,839 Speaker 2: you major problems, and we saw that it pop up 714 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 2: a couple. 715 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 3: Of times in this game. 716 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 2: And offensively, I feel like they're gonna be a bullyball 717 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 2: this Panthers team. So the professionals, they might come in 718 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 2: on the other side, but I just I think they've 719 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 2: been burned. 720 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 3: So bad these last two weeks. I know I have 721 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 3: by this Panthers team. 722 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 2: I wouldn't touch this unless I got up to ten. 723 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 2: So I don't know what they're going to do with 724 00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 2: this one. But that's that's how low I am on 725 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 2: this Panthers team right now. 726 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: Well, that didn't take long for us to go from 727 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 1: thinking they were potentially gonna win the NFC South to 728 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: now we are so low we won't even bet them 729 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,479 Speaker 1: as massive underdogs again. 730 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,080 Speaker 2: It's crazy where my model loves them like even after 731 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 2: that loss yesterday, I have this line at six in 732 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 2: what world? That's what I'm saying, though, my computer's a 733 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 2: fucking idiot, And what world would you give that current 734 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 2: number that Bryce Young? Like he just does not deserve it. 735 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 2: So I'm just this is more of a human thing 736 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,080 Speaker 2: where it's like, I'm I know the numbers is gonna 737 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 2: say this is a team you want to back, and 738 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,920 Speaker 2: the number has gotten too big, and obviously it's it's insane. 739 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 2: I think Minshew's a seven point favorite over anybody, but 740 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 2: this is who it would be, a team with no identity, 741 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,839 Speaker 2: no backbone, and I mean they have to have one 742 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 2: of the worst defensive lines in all of football. I 743 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 2: mean they just cannot stop offenses from running the ball. 744 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,680 Speaker 2: So this this plays right into this bully mentality of 745 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 2: the Traders team. And it's like I wanted to fade 746 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 2: them because it's a letdown spot after this huge road 747 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 2: win against the Ravens team. But this is the perfect 748 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,439 Speaker 2: team to have come into town against this Panthers team. 749 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,760 Speaker 1: So yeah. Also, I think the letdown happens more often 750 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: when you're a really good team that has had a 751 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,920 Speaker 1: win like that. Then if you're a bad team where 752 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,839 Speaker 1: expectations are low, and the one thing Antonio appears has 753 00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,960 Speaker 1: proven he can do is get his team up for 754 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: a game, right, Like forget about in game coaching, which 755 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 1: he did a very nice job against the Ravens and 756 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: out coach John Harbaugh. But I don't think he'll have 757 00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 1: any problem getting his team ready and seeing how to 758 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 1: stay motivated against the Panthers team. Don't want to bet 759 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:42,359 Speaker 1: the Raiders and minus seven, not yet, but I can 760 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,839 Speaker 1: understand this not being a letdown spot for sure. 761 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 2: What number would that Titans number have to be for 762 00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 2: you to come around eventually? 763 00:39:51,760 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: Pick? Seriously? Like Will Levis is so so bad, so bad, 764 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: Like they didn't win that they like they didn't cover 765 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: today and they had plenty of opportunities to Yeah, I 766 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: thought their defense actually played really well. So the question 767 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,360 Speaker 1: is like can they do things defensively that the Colts 768 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: were not able to do? But I'm not ready to 769 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,640 Speaker 1: to bet on Tennessee even we. 770 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 3: Have to find some oh and two teams you like though, 771 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 3: Like that's the big thing. 772 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,080 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, totale, there's oh and two teams that you 773 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 2: just simply have to you have to back because historically 774 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 2: these are good. I mean, I don't all have the 775 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 2: trends for us, but I just know these are usually 776 00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 2: spots we want to bet, just because again I'm looking 777 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,880 Speaker 2: at this as what who what team is everyone completely 778 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 2: out on other than the Panthers, I mean Titans have 779 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 2: to be number two or three? I mean all better. 780 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 2: Is like even pros I've talked to are so out 781 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 2: on this team. They thought this was a smash spot 782 00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 2: against this Jets team in a short week, right, And 783 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,280 Speaker 2: it looked that way. You just said, for three quarters 784 00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:04,839 Speaker 2: they were feeling pretty smart and then somehow they get 785 00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 2: rolled and they lose by seven, which is just crazy. 786 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 3: So I get your hesitation. 787 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 2: I'm just I'm trying to get get your mind ready 788 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,439 Speaker 2: for just some this horrible, painful that this upcoming week. 789 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm more inclined to take the O and 790 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 1: two Colts at minus one and a half versus taking 791 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 1: the O and two Titans at minus two because I 792 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,280 Speaker 1: think the coaching advantage is so much greater for the Colts, 793 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,280 Speaker 1: the talent at quarterback is so much greater for the Colts. 794 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 1: We've seen them perform against a really good team. The 795 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 1: Bears are not a really good team, so the idea 796 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,200 Speaker 1: of getting the Colts at minus one and a half 797 00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: that I was surprised that that was sort of a 798 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: game where you might be leaning towards the Bears a 799 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: little bit because I know we have to bet an 800 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 1: o and two team, right I'd rather bet a very 801 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: short home favorite in the Colts than a short home 802 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: favorite in the Titans. With Will Levis, who you know 803 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: he will make. He's done it twice in the past 804 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 1: two weeks. He will make the mistake that is bone headed. 805 00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:07,680 Speaker 1: That is not the mistake you should make. That we'll 806 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: have catastrophic impact. 807 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 3: You're right, And. 808 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 2: Again you mentioned the Ravens. They're an zero and two 809 00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:16,760 Speaker 2: team that kind of fits that bill where we're talking about. 810 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,839 Speaker 2: So you're right, there are better, better teams we can 811 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,879 Speaker 2: take with the and two record. But I'm just trying 812 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 2: to find us what's the grossest ones right now and 813 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 2: that you know, I'm not going to force in the 814 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,279 Speaker 2: Giants plus seven obviously, and I don't I don't think 815 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 2: we want to force in Denver plus seven in that spot. 816 00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 2: They're they're on the road right now against this Bucks team. 817 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,840 Speaker 2: So Kyrie Evans sat amazing. Evan Abrams stat Yeah, winless 818 00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,319 Speaker 2: teams in game three forty two, twenty three and one 819 00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,919 Speaker 2: against the spread, so sixty five percent in the last 820 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 2: decade first teams with at least one win.
