Speaker 2: I've already gotten requests for sweatshirts. People in Chicago were like,

Speaker 1: Matt WANs more. Matt wants more. It's very clear he
Speaker 1: is not satisfied until he's got like her. I don't know,
Speaker 1: he's got a banner flying it, you know, with an
Speaker 1: airplane or something like that. All right, let's get into it.
Speaker 1: It's the divisional rounds to only four games, so it's
Speaker 1: probably gonna be a little bit of a shorter show
Speaker 1: than usual, but we'll break down each game. But last week, Matt,
Speaker 1: we were really not not we did not have last week.
Speaker 1: I don't think most people had last week correct as
Speaker 1: far as I could tell. But let's just talk about
Speaker 1: the official picks that we made yesterday, and we have
Speaker 1: to if we don't have to, actually, would you prefer
Speaker 1: to skip? It?
Speaker 2: Were better?
Speaker 1: Your yours were better than mine. My official picks were
Speaker 1: we did one spread, one over under, and one teaser.
Speaker 1: My spread was the Bills lank six and a half.
Speaker 1: That was wrong. My over under was the Bucks and
Speaker 1: the Washington football team under forty four and a half,
Speaker 1: which was a loss. Thankfully. My two team teazer did hit,
Speaker 1: which was the Bills down to only a pick which
Speaker 1: was half a point. That was pretty close, and the
Speaker 1: Bucks down to lane two and a half. So that
Speaker 1: did hit. Matt. You had the Steelers laying five and
Speaker 1: a half in that game, forget about. I don't even
Speaker 1: know what to say. And that was on me. I
Speaker 1: was you were very much like I have some minor trepidation,
Speaker 1: and I was like, why they have no coach, They're
Speaker 1: not practiceding, it's gonna be great. That was ridiculous. You
Speaker 1: had the Bills at the podcast, Matt, you had it
Speaker 1: over fifty one. So that's a push, right, you added
Speaker 1: fifty one and a half.
Speaker 2: I bet the and a half. It was just the
Speaker 2: story of my last two weeks has been half unit losses.
Speaker 2: It's been brutal.
Speaker 1: Well, you also hate your teaser, which was the Bill's
Speaker 1: minus half a point and the Rams getting nine and
Speaker 1: a half. I have already bet a two team teaser,
Speaker 1: so I will give that later. But let's start it off.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Rams visiting the Packers. That's the
Speaker 1: first game of the week. Right now, the Packers are
Speaker 1: laying six and a half points. A little surprising to
Speaker 1: me that this hasn't jumped back up to seven, because
Speaker 1: it kind of has been back and forth a little bit.
Speaker 1: So it's at six and a half. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it's a bad line. I just think that they're from
Speaker 1: what I could tell, the Packers seem to be pretty
Speaker 1: heavily bet considering all the issues that are going on.
Speaker 2: So why so let's let's play bookmaker? Yes, why wouldn't
Speaker 2: If the line is six and a half stagnant and
Speaker 2: all the money's coming in on the Packers, what does
Speaker 2: that tell you.
Speaker 1: That what that the books think that the Rams are
Speaker 1: going to cover? All? Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the are live here in this game.
Speaker 1: Do you think that they're got that that bookmakers think
Speaker 1: that chance to win the game?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Goodness? All right, So first of all, the over unders
Speaker 1: at forty five and a half. Here's the deal. Wolford
Speaker 1: is out right, he's been ruled out completely. So it's
Speaker 1: Goff with Blake Bortles. Back them up Goff as much
Speaker 1: as they want. You were on that game, Matt. You
Speaker 1: you had a good feel for that Rams game. We
Speaker 1: both liked him at three and a half for sure,
Speaker 1: but you did think that they had the chance to
Speaker 1: win out right. Their defense is legitimate. I guess Aaron
Speaker 1: Donald today was taking off the injury report. I still
Speaker 1: find it very difficult to believe that he's one hundred
Speaker 1: percent healthy, particularly with the cold whatever he's got, with
Speaker 1: the rib injury. Cooper Cup is battling, you know, the knee.
Speaker 1: You've got Jared Goff who kind of looked like he
Speaker 1: was me pushing the ball, you know, down the field,
Speaker 1: and just I don't know, I'm surprised. I guess that
Speaker 1: the that they think it's like, have you talked to anybody,
Speaker 1: do you have a good sense of why? And do
Speaker 1: you think that the Rams are alive to win this game.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think the Rams are allowed to win the game.
Speaker 2: I think the Rams are allowed to cover the spread.
Speaker 2: And the number is seven. So so last week on
Speaker 2: the podcast, everybody was talking to me about the Washington
Speaker 2: football team and Tempa Bay Bucks, right, and I told
Speaker 2: everybody here on the podcast the number was nine. Nine
Speaker 2: was the number where the bad guys were coming in
Speaker 2: and dropping large sums. What did the line? What did
Speaker 2: the game end at? Eight? Okay, same thing here. Seven's
Speaker 2: the number. It went to seven for like a second
Speaker 2: in Vegas and they got it, just blitzed with money,
Speaker 2: tons of money on plus seven. That's the number I want.
Speaker 2: I want plus seven. I may have to buy it
Speaker 2: to get there. Yeah, seven is the number for the Rams.
Speaker 2: And then it comes down to whether or not that
Speaker 2: defense can turn the football over. I think it's a
Speaker 2: twenty four to twenty type of victory. I think the
Speaker 2: number for the total is right there. I wouldn't touch that,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't go near it, but I think you might go, well,
Speaker 2: how are the Rams gonna score? One? Akers running the football?
Speaker 2: Two dink and dunk? Okay, and look it's Lambeau. Could
Speaker 2: we get a freak snowstorm. Could we get really cold.
Speaker 2: I mean, let's see what the weather looks like before
Speaker 2: we bet it. But the worse the weather, the better
Speaker 2: it is here, in my opinion, for the Rams defense
Speaker 2: to be able to keep the game close, Ramsey could
Speaker 2: take away potentially. Now you could say Ramsey does great
Speaker 2: against DK Metcalf. DeVante Adams is a different story. He's
Speaker 2: quick twitch, he's very smooth, he's very quick in and
Speaker 2: out of the brakes. He's tough to guard crue true,
Speaker 2: but if footing's a problem, Ramsey may be able to
Speaker 2: stay with them a little bit more. And if you
Speaker 2: take him out of the equation and you make somebody
Speaker 2: else beat you. I'm not saying that there aren't mvs
Speaker 2: can't do it, but I think the Rams are pretty comfortable,
Speaker 2: you know, worrying about MBS versus DeVante Adams here, So
Speaker 2: I just wonder about possessions. Can the Rams keep the
Speaker 2: football away and can the Rams not turn the ball over?
Speaker 2: That is the biggest It's a key in every game,
Speaker 2: but to me, it's the biggest key in this game.
Speaker 2: If they don't turn the ball over, they're going to
Speaker 2: be in the game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is I think you have it right. Everything
Speaker 1: you've said I think is exactly right. If I am
Speaker 1: forced to pick a side on the total, which again
Speaker 1: I think is right on at forty five and a half,
Speaker 1: I actually kind of would lean under. I'm very gun
Speaker 1: shy on unders right now because of last week where
Speaker 1: it felt like right, it felt like there were a
Speaker 1: couple of unders and just didn't really come close. So
Speaker 1: with this one, though, I do think because I think
Speaker 1: you're right, I think you're going to see a whole
Speaker 1: lot of cam akers as you have seen over the
Speaker 1: last several weeks for the Rams, but especially with Goff.
Speaker 1: And again that is how you attack Green Bay is
Speaker 1: their run defense. Now, I think that it The issue
Speaker 1: for me is if Cup is not healthy for this game,
Speaker 1: even if he plays, but he's limited in this game,
Speaker 1: then you're gonna be able to stick j R. Alexander
Speaker 1: on Robert Woods and you're going to be able to
Speaker 1: kind of sell out to stop the run and then say,
Speaker 1: all right, Jared Goff, we're going to take away your
Speaker 1: one legitimate wide receiver. Good luck beating us elsewhere, you know,
Speaker 1: And if they can do that, then they can do that.
Speaker 1: But I don't see the Rams being able to put
Speaker 1: up a ton of points in this game absence some
Speaker 1: sort of defensive score, which you can't really count on
Speaker 1: with Rogers. But the reason I kind of lean towards
Speaker 1: the under is that exact thing, which is they're gonna
Speaker 1: run the ball time, that's gonna bleed the clock as
Speaker 1: much as possible. And I don't think that the Packers
Speaker 1: are going to be able to just drive down the
Speaker 1: field that you know, you've seen these games, right the
Speaker 1: Bucks game with Rogers right where Oh my goodness, what
Speaker 1: in the world you get pressure on Rogers every once
Speaker 1: in a while, and now all of a sudden, that
Speaker 1: Green Bay offense doesn't really work. So for me, I
Speaker 1: lean the under, but I wouldn't touch it because I think,
Speaker 1: you know, forty five and a half, just with the
Speaker 1: way the game is right now, I wouldn't go near
Speaker 1: it if I had to choose the side. Are you
Speaker 1: basically saying that you're staying away from the side unless
Speaker 1: it gets to seven, in which case you take the Rams.
Speaker 2: Right, I need seven. I want seven to feel comfortable
Speaker 2: because I am concerned about the ability for the Rams
Speaker 2: to score. I think people who are questioning saying I
Speaker 2: don't see the Rams scoring more than seventeen points. I'll
Speaker 2: give you that. I think I think the total is right.
Speaker 2: I think the Rams are gonna have to play the
Speaker 2: game that they played last week, and they're gonna have
Speaker 2: to play defense. And their defense is you know, they
Speaker 2: need short fields. They need Aaron Donald to be Aaron Donald,
Speaker 2: whether he's a one hundred percent or not. They need
Speaker 2: him to be double teamed, and they got to be,
Speaker 2: you know, making the Packers worry about him every single
Speaker 2: snap and then other players go and make plays and
Speaker 2: hopefully you know, either pressure Rogers or stripsacks or whatnot
Speaker 2: and get after it. Rogers is you know, it's always
Speaker 2: difficult to look at him off of a bye week,
Speaker 2: in the cold weather, in the playoffs. I mean, just
Speaker 2: there are a ton of things pushing that the Packers
Speaker 2: are going to be extremely public in every teaser. This
Speaker 2: is the Steelers all over again. Okay, everyone is teasing
Speaker 2: this game down to a half a point and taking
Speaker 2: the Packers. So that's my only concern about this game
Speaker 2: is just the numbers not moving, and there the liability
Speaker 2: keeps on stacking up and up and up. And I've
Speaker 2: been a fan of this Rams team all year, and
Speaker 2: I just wish it was John Whalferd because if it
Speaker 2: was John Walford a quarterback, I would I would be
Speaker 2: taking the Rams outright.
Speaker 1: That's actually what I was a little surprised that. I
Speaker 1: thought when Walford wouldn't was declared out that that might
Speaker 1: move into seven right right, it still didn't.
Speaker 2: Nothing, not even a tick, not even touch nothing. I
Speaker 2: was like, okay, that's interesting.
Speaker 1: Out of curiosity. Do you know what it's going to
Speaker 1: take to buy the half a point to get from
Speaker 1: six and a half to.
Speaker 2: Probably be one thirty to forty would be my guest
Speaker 2: would be somewhere in that general range in terms of cost.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not going to be cheap to do it,
Speaker 2: but I think in terms of avoiding losing versus pushing,
Speaker 2: it might be worth it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, no, I get it. I because I have
Speaker 1: not been so basically to sum it up as much
Speaker 1: as possible, I don't love either anything in this game,
Speaker 1: like just where it is right now at six and
Speaker 1: a half and at forty five and a half, I
Speaker 1: don't like it either side. I lean the under really,
Speaker 1: I just don't have a good sense. I think the
Speaker 1: Packers are going to win this game, okay, and I
Speaker 1: could see it being you know, a you know, a
Speaker 1: double digit win for the Packers, but it is so public,
Speaker 1: and you're right, I mean that just screams tease us
Speaker 1: down to a half point, right and then so for
Speaker 1: that makes me a little nervous.
Speaker 2: So scary, that's what's scary. See the thing about right
Speaker 2: now is all of the data, all the information. These
Speaker 2: lines are as razors sharp as they of all year.
Speaker 2: This is the weekend the public gets destroyed. Last weekend
Speaker 2: that got destroyed too, But this is normally the weekend
Speaker 2: they get annihilated because all the data. You just see
Speaker 2: that line, it looks so tempting. Oh Packers under a touchdown?
Speaker 2: Oh Rogers, of course, how are they gonna score? And
Speaker 2: then we're gonna be sitting here. It's gonna be like
Speaker 2: a twenty one seventeen type of game. And it's like,
Speaker 2: oh they knew right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I I get it. I mean I wonder
Speaker 1: whether or not if you do involvement in the teaser,
Speaker 1: would you rather tease the rams up?
Speaker 2: Yes? Twelve and a half, I would, yes, and I would,
Speaker 2: and again I would hope that we can you cross
Speaker 2: a key number of seven across key number of ten,
Speaker 2: so the couple of key numbers you cross there by
Speaker 2: doing that. But it's it's a hard it's a hard game.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at debate that it's a really hard game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I agree. It's one that I don't really
Speaker 1: want to go near. And I'd feel a lot better
Speaker 1: about it if this doesn't feel like they're just begging
Speaker 1: you to do to take the Packers and to tease
Speaker 1: the Packers down to half a point. That does make
Speaker 1: me worried. I do still think that the Packers are
Speaker 1: going to win this game. That's particularly true because I
Speaker 1: don't believe. I'm glad Donald is off the injury report,
Speaker 1: but you saw him last week. That dude's like the
Speaker 1: toughest due in the NFL. He really struggled last week.
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to believe that he's one hundred percent,
Speaker 1: particularly going now to the cold and you've got Cup
Speaker 1: and now you've got golf like all of that. Just
Speaker 1: as sort of I can't talk myself into the Packers.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the next game. Interesting one. I'm interested
Speaker 1: here how you feel you've been fading the bills for
Speaker 1: most of the year. You've got the Ravens visiting the Bills.
Speaker 1: Right now, the Bills are laying two and a half,
Speaker 1: which has kind of bounced back and forth a little
Speaker 1: bit between two and two and a half. The total.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is it's dropped now to forty nine
Speaker 1: and a half. It was fifty when I looked early
Speaker 1: in the day. So what do you think of this game?
Speaker 2: I'm all over the Ravens, all all over the Ravens.
Speaker 2: This is where having a outdoor game in Buffalo, New
Speaker 2: York burns the Bills because they're not built for it.
Speaker 2: It's cold, it's not gonna be nice. You got an
Speaker 2: issue with the knee for Cold Beasley. You've got a
Speaker 2: defense that's got a secondary that's playing really well, that
Speaker 2: can take away digs, and you're gonna put it on
Speaker 2: a running game that only is the quarterback. Because of
Speaker 2: injury and ineffectiveness for the Buffalo Bills, the Ravens were
Speaker 2: the best team going into this year. Everyone loved the Ravens.
Speaker 2: They had COVID problems, they had bad losses, they didn't
Speaker 2: look right. Well, they're right now, and I think having
Speaker 2: a running quarterback in this type of weather. This is
Speaker 2: the guy you want, This is the play you want,
Speaker 2: This is the MODI, this is what you want to
Speaker 2: have happen. You want a guy like Lamar Jackson in
Speaker 2: the game in a cold weather situation. I know he
Speaker 2: doesn't like the cold. I don't care. Okay, in his career,
Speaker 2: I think under forty degrees, he's seven to zho straight
Speaker 2: up in temperatures below forty. So it's not like he
Speaker 2: can't play in this game. I this is just you
Speaker 2: can say, Matt, it's a typical fading of of Jared.
Speaker 2: Josh Allens is going to come back and burn me.
Speaker 2: But if I may have to buy it to three,
Speaker 2: but I will be on the Ravens money line in
Speaker 2: this game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have a great feel for it. Again,
Speaker 1: like I hate to say that if I do go
Speaker 1: one way, I do kind of lean the under, just
Speaker 1: because I think that, you know, forty nine and a half,
Speaker 1: just again betting on I haven't bet the under. I'm
Speaker 1: probably not gonna bet the under. I lean the under,
Speaker 1: but again, betting unders. Right now, I'm doing whatever I
Speaker 1: can to avoid it because it's just not where we are.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think these teams kind of match up,
Speaker 1: at least defensively pretty well. I mean, the Ravens defense
Speaker 1: is playing very, very solid football at this point. I
Speaker 1: mean you saw Derek Henry couldn't do anything, and again
Speaker 1: you mentioned it correctly. The Bills can't run the ball,
Speaker 1: and Zach Moss's out anyway, and he is their better runner.
Speaker 1: So it's just going to be Devin Singletary, maybe TJ. Yeldon.
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is fantastic, Stefan Diggs is fantastic. They'll find
Speaker 1: a way to put up points because their offense is creative,
Speaker 1: you know, with their system and everything like that. The
Speaker 1: Ravens obviously you attack the Bills for the most part.
Speaker 1: The Bills defense, when you just step back from it,
Speaker 1: you're like, well, this doesn't match up well, Like we
Speaker 1: have a great outside corner. But really, like, even if
Speaker 1: you take away Hollywood Brown, depending on where Hollywood Brown
Speaker 1: runs out of, they're not great against tight ends necessarily.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not a complete shutdown defense against tight ends.
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews should be fine in the game. They don't
Speaker 1: stop the run particularly well. The Ravens love to run,
Speaker 1: so on paper, it doesn't look like a fantastic matchup.
Speaker 1: But you remember last year the Bills weren't that great
Speaker 1: against the run either, and they played the Ravens I
Speaker 1: think last year, and they they held Lamar in check
Speaker 1: for the most part, you know, not completely shut them down,
Speaker 1: but they know how to play this offense. So I
Speaker 1: do think that this is going to be a game
Speaker 1: that's going to be generally speaking, pretty low scoring, a
Speaker 1: little bit like the Titans and then and the Ravens.
Speaker 1: So I kind of lean towards the ender. If I
Speaker 1: had to pick a side, I don't. I don't have
Speaker 1: a great feel for it. Matt, Like, I mean, you're confident,
Speaker 1: I mean confident in quotation marks you confident that the
Speaker 1: Ravens are going to win this game? Yes, okay, is
Speaker 1: this your favorite play of the week Ravens? No? Oh, okay,
Speaker 1: very good. Then I will I will put it out
Speaker 1: there that if I'm forced to choose a side, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Bills. And this is not I
Speaker 1: don't feel great about it. And again I'm just being
Speaker 1: as honest with you guys as possible. I have not
Speaker 1: bet this game, like I haven't because I don't have
Speaker 1: a good feel for it. I can see the Ravens.
Speaker 1: But I do see a scenario where the Bills kind
Speaker 1: of just completely sell out to stop the run. And look,
Speaker 1: the Titans kind of did the same thing last week,
Speaker 1: and they did they held him in check until they
Speaker 1: didn't because Lamar Jackson is just a complete freaking nature
Speaker 1: on the ground and.
Speaker 2: Alma though, don't don't don't sell the wide receivers that
Speaker 2: short here. I mean, I know Lamar played poorly in
Speaker 2: the first quarter throwing that jump ball down down the field.
Speaker 2: That wasn't good, But he really played well after that.
Speaker 2: I mean, he settled down, he really played well.
Speaker 1: He did, he did, he did, But it's just, you know,
Speaker 1: it's again I think that at the Bills offense and
Speaker 1: just how well coached they are, and how good Josh
Speaker 1: Allen is and how good Stefan Diggs is. I know
Speaker 1: the corners are great for Baltimore, but you know, part
Speaker 1: of me thinks I was a little surprised with the
Speaker 1: with the Titans, for example, why they got away from
Speaker 1: Brown right like they didn't. They went to Brown early,
Speaker 1: he had the touchdown and then you didn't really see
Speaker 1: all that much from him. Again, I think, you know,
Speaker 1: Diggs is borderline uncoverable at this point. So I do
Speaker 1: expect the Bills to put a point and if they
Speaker 1: can get a lead, and if they're home, I think
Speaker 1: it's going to be a little tougher for Jackson to
Speaker 1: come back.
Speaker 2: But again, they came back now ten on the road
Speaker 2: last week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very true, very true, But.
Speaker 2: That narrative's gone that they can't up back on the road.
Speaker 1: Uh, you're absolutely right, And that's why I said, I
Speaker 1: don't think like they can't. I think though, that they're
Speaker 1: playing a team that has a better defense now, because
Speaker 1: I know the Bills defense. You you're right, you you
Speaker 1: had that a couple of weeks ago. I was I
Speaker 1: was getting very very high on the Bills defense, and
Speaker 1: you kind of talked me down, and you were correct
Speaker 1: because they did not improve nearly as much at least
Speaker 1: as they shown lately. But they're facing a bet offense
Speaker 1: or more explosive offense and a better defense. So this
Speaker 1: is one where I think if they did fall down,
Speaker 1: it had more than ten, because ten, you can stick
Speaker 1: with it. But it's a fair point. I just I
Speaker 1: don't have a great feel for it. If I have
Speaker 1: to go someplace, I'm gonna go with the Bills, who
Speaker 1: I've kind of been backing a little bit for a
Speaker 1: while at this point. They weren't that good last week
Speaker 1: at all. But yeah, it's a game I'm staying away from.
Speaker 1: You like the Ravens little more. What do you think,
Speaker 1: by the way, the total forty nine and a half.
Speaker 2: I mean, if I had to bet it, I probably
Speaker 2: would bet the under, just because I think it's going
Speaker 2: to be one of those games where the clock's running constantly,
Speaker 2: but because I think everyone's gonna expect points. So I
Speaker 2: think the whole the public's gonna go off blow fifty.
Speaker 2: Give me the over, and I don't know if they
Speaker 2: score thirty. They score twenty seven last week, so I
Speaker 2: think Buffalo probably scores, you know, somewhere in the lower twenties,
Speaker 2: and the Ravens somewhere right in the same area, you know,
Speaker 2: twenty four. I see this as like a twenty four
Speaker 2: to twenty three game one way or the other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree, And that's why I lean the under. Again,
Speaker 1: I'm not betting it because there's really only you know,
Speaker 1: I don't like you Saturday. I'm gonna more enjoy football.
Speaker 1: I probably will do a very minor teas piece with
Speaker 1: that Packers game, and I'll probably be very public with
Speaker 1: it and tease the Packers down to a half point.
Speaker 1: But yeah, this one, I'm just gonna more enjoy. Let's
Speaker 1: go to the Sunday games. The Chiefs are laying ten
Speaker 1: right now to the Browns. That total is at fifty
Speaker 1: seven right now. It's fifty seven and a half at
Speaker 1: bet MGM, it's fifty eight at Sugarhouse, but it's fifty
Speaker 1: seven in our consensus line. So what do you think here.
Speaker 2: You may hate that game with the Ravens and the Bills.
Speaker 2: I hate this game with the Browns and the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: The Chiefs have cost me so much money. I can
Speaker 2: talk my way into both sides that the Browns win
Speaker 2: this game outright, or this is a fifty point win
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs and it's an absolute route. I don't
Speaker 2: know what to do with this game. I'm scared to
Speaker 2: tease it because if the Chiefs do what they're capable of,
Speaker 2: sixteen is not enough and it's just a complete twenty
Speaker 2: one point destruction and bye bye teasers. I'm concerned about
Speaker 2: teasing it down to four because I think it's the
Speaker 2: only way to tease this game is down to four.
Speaker 2: But I got this weird, sneaking suspicion that the Chiefs
Speaker 2: have been on ice skates, skating their way through their schedule,
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, they're gonna take on a
Speaker 2: team that may feel like they got, you know, destiny
Speaker 2: on their side, and everything sometimes bounces go your way.
Speaker 2: I've seen it. I watched the Patriots nineteen eighty six
Speaker 2: have no right to go through three teams on the
Speaker 2: road and make it to the super Bowl and get
Speaker 2: their doors blown off by the Bears. I've seen it. Okay,
Speaker 2: you can win games on the road and get complete
Speaker 2: fumble and turn over luck that gets you on your
Speaker 2: way to the super Bowl. I don't know. This game
Speaker 2: scares the holy heck out of me that the Cleveland Browns
Speaker 2: are gonna shock the world and beat the Chiefs. I'm
Speaker 2: not touching this game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't think that they're gonna win. But
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you because I you know, I look,
Speaker 1: two team teasers at this point aren't fun. You know,
Speaker 1: the lines are so sharp, so when I look for
Speaker 1: them this game, there's no piece of it that I
Speaker 1: would feel comfortable teasing in either direction, right, Like I
Speaker 1: don't feel real great about the Browns getting sixteen, but
Speaker 1: I don't feel real great about the Chiefs laying for Like,
Speaker 1: I don't really know what's gonna happen. I if I'm
Speaker 1: forced to pick aside, and again that's where we're basically
Speaker 1: at at this point, I would lean the Browns getting ten. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'd love it if it got to ten and a half.
Speaker 1: But I like them getting ten because again we've seen it.
Speaker 1: The Chiefs just don't have for the most part, or
Speaker 1: haven't yet this season, had the we are gonna lock
Speaker 1: this thing up and it's gonna be done. But they're
Speaker 1: off a by this point out it's worth noting you
Speaker 1: remember last year, of course, what happened with the Texans
Speaker 1: and they fell way behind. They wound up winning, but
Speaker 1: they came out so flat yep, at this point. So
Speaker 1: the look. If the Chiefs are vulnerable on defense, it's
Speaker 1: on the ground. The Browns have a great running game,
Speaker 1: and Baker Mayfield has played really, really well this season.
Speaker 1: If you take out the games where he either has
Speaker 1: no wide receivers to throw to or is not like
Speaker 1: a wind crazy game, they can keep this game close.
Speaker 1: The total is just nuts, Like fifty seven. I don't
Speaker 1: you know, it's a ridiculous total. Like again, it's something
Speaker 1: where I'm like, well, I think the value is probably
Speaker 1: on the under, but I'm not gonna bet it. So
Speaker 1: this is this game above all is probably now on
Speaker 1: the spread. The game I'm staying away from is the
Speaker 1: Bills and the Ravens. I have like leans on the
Speaker 1: other one, Bills and Ravens. I'm just like, I don't
Speaker 1: know this one. The total I'm just totally saying away from.
Speaker 1: If I had to go, I think the Browns mat
Speaker 1: like getting ten because again, I just don't see this.
Speaker 1: I don't see the Chiefs coming out here. And just
Speaker 1: you know, even if they come weigh, if they get
Speaker 1: way ahead, you know, they just they've never finished it
Speaker 1: off right this whole year.
Speaker 2: And now I just think it's got back door written
Speaker 2: all over it. It's got it's got falling apart in
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter written all over it. It's it's just
Speaker 2: has it has the recipe to be one of those
Speaker 2: games where at halftime we're laughing at the Browns Haha,
Speaker 2: you stink, And in the fourth quarter we're like, are
Speaker 2: you kidding me? Are they actually gonna blow this game
Speaker 2: or the Chiefs gonna lose like that. That's how I
Speaker 2: feel like this game is going to go. It's just
Speaker 2: absolutely crazy, all right.
Speaker 1: So let's get to the last game, which you feel
Speaker 1: like you're probably eyeing. This is the game that I'm
Speaker 1: eyeing as well, So let's get to it. It's the
Speaker 1: Bucks visiting the Saints. The Bucks are getting three. This
Speaker 1: is one word. Oh, I don't where did it open, Matt?
Speaker 2: Four?
Speaker 1: I thought it opened at four. Okay, I thought I
Speaker 1: saw like an early line.
Speaker 2: And a half at four. It was four at DraftKings,
Speaker 2: three and a half of most books Vegas. It's pretty
Speaker 2: much painted at three right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the consensus over under is fifty two. But
Speaker 1: it's basically fifty one and a half or fifty two.
Speaker 1: It's bouncing back and forth out of the Bucks. So, Matt,
Speaker 1: do you have strong positions on either one of these numbers? Okay,
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead. I hope we're on the same side.
Speaker 2: Go right. So I've been talking about Tampa for a
Speaker 2: while now after the bye. If you look at the
Speaker 2: teams the Buccaneers have played after their bye week, which
Speaker 2: is causing everybody to jump up and down. They played
Speaker 2: the Vikings twice, they played the Lions once, and they
Speaker 2: beat Washington on the road last week. Those teams stink.
Speaker 2: Everyone thinking that the Bucks, Oh my gosh, they've righted
Speaker 2: the ship. Brady's right, everything's perfect. Well, no, okay, everything's
Speaker 2: not perfect. There's still playing the same typical brand of
Speaker 2: football that they played all year, which is they beat
Speaker 2: up on bad teams and they lose to good teams.
Speaker 2: The last two good teams Tampa played was before the
Speaker 2: bye week with way the Chiefs and the Rams, and
Speaker 2: they lost both those games twenty seven to twenty four.
Speaker 2: This is a road game to the Saints. I do
Speaker 2: not care that they played three times. This is the
Speaker 2: third time they're playing. I put no stock in the
Speaker 2: idea that it's hard to beat somebody three times in
Speaker 2: one season. I do not believe that Leonard Fournette or
Speaker 2: even Ronald Jones are gonna be able to run on
Speaker 2: that Saints defense. And when you can't run for the Bucks,
Speaker 2: they lose. Look at all their games they have lost.
Speaker 2: They can't run. They have to run in the first half.
Speaker 2: I think Fournette got to his overall rushing prop in
Speaker 2: the first quarter last week against Washington that set everything
Speaker 2: else up for their offense and allowed them to throw
Speaker 2: the ball deep with play action and everything Brady does
Speaker 2: this Saints team, You're not running on these guys. And
Speaker 2: then they got guys in the back end who can
Speaker 2: at least make it difficult to get the ball to
Speaker 2: Evans and company. I know Godwin played well, but I'm
Speaker 2: saying I'll say it again, this offense was better when
Speaker 2: they had Scotty Miller in the slot in Gronk going
Speaker 2: down the scene. And they don't do that anymore. Saints
Speaker 2: lay the three New Orleans wins.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm on the other side. I'm on the other
Speaker 1: side of this.
Speaker 2: This is a double bag game for people here in
Speaker 2: Vegas that I know that are weighing in. Wait and
Speaker 2: if it goes it ever goes to two and a half,
Speaker 2: If the public is dumb enough to get this thing
Speaker 2: to two and a half, watch how much money comes
Speaker 2: in on the Saints.
Speaker 1: Oh, I do agree with that. I think if you
Speaker 1: get it under a field goal, I get I'm sure
Speaker 1: money is going to come in pouring on the Saints.
Speaker 2: Then how can you be on Tampa at three? Then,
Speaker 2: because basically you're praying for it.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that they' I'm
Speaker 1: saying that the money is going to come in. I'm
Speaker 1: sure because that you get the home team in the
Speaker 1: plaids beaten this team twice. You've got the Bucks, who,
Speaker 1: for all the reasons that you said, have not been
Speaker 1: overly impressive, and they've been beating up on, you know,
Speaker 1: bad teams. And I think that if you're gonna give
Speaker 1: a team like the Saints at home to you know,
Speaker 1: under a field goal, that money is going to come
Speaker 1: in on the Saints. I am on the Bucks, and
Speaker 1: I look, I get everything you're saying. Here's the thing, Matt,
Speaker 1: we you you liked Washington last week, right, like not
Speaker 1: not to necessary, you thought there was even a chance
Speaker 1: that they could win, but you weren't picking them to
Speaker 1: win or anything. But you liked them. Spread Why was that? Like? What?
Speaker 1: What did what did we think was gonna happen? Did
Speaker 1: you like their offense or did you like their defense
Speaker 1: and thinking to get pressure?
Speaker 2: I like, I really wanted them. With Alex Smith at
Speaker 2: the quarterback spots, really was. I fell in love with
Speaker 2: it so phenomenally. He played incredibly well. So so I
Speaker 2: mean but going into the game, the reason why I
Speaker 2: was so high on it is because Alex Smith was
Speaker 2: going to play, and the Alex Smith was gonna make
Speaker 2: enough place to really help that team down the field.
Speaker 2: I mean, henecky missed him throws and he played. He
Speaker 2: played great. So there's a big caveat as to where
Speaker 2: Washington was. Washington, I was actually really confused as to
Speaker 2: what they were doing and why they were running the
Speaker 2: same type of stunts, the same play over and over
Speaker 2: again when it wasn't getting home. And you said the
Speaker 2: offensive line played really well, I think I had more
Speaker 2: problems with the defensive line for Washington than the offensive
Speaker 2: line for I mean, Chase Young, why are you just
Speaker 2: lining him up in the same spot and having him
Speaker 2: run the same thing over and over again when he
Speaker 2: was getting taken care of by the left tackle. It
Speaker 2: was driving me. Get the guy, move him around, use
Speaker 2: him in different ways. He's incredibly difficult him up against
Speaker 2: a running back. He'll run the guy over. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not worried about the Saints lack of pressure because
Speaker 2: you have to again, you have to run the ball.
Speaker 2: If you know, if you're the Tampa Bay Bucks, you
Speaker 2: have to run the football and you're not gonna run
Speaker 2: on the Saints.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear what you're saying. I put less of
Speaker 1: the blame on the Washington defensive line and more of
Speaker 1: the credit to the Bucks offensive line with Margaret Back.
Speaker 1: I really think that that offensive line now is in
Speaker 1: the position where they're going to be able to protect Brady.
Speaker 1: And if you protect Brady, I don't care how about
Speaker 1: anything else about a defense. I really don't. If you
Speaker 1: give Brady time, he will find the open guy. And
Speaker 1: then I mean you look, you talked about the receivers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you've got Evans who's banged up, and Marshawn Lattimore generally
Speaker 1: shuts him down. Godwin played pretty poorly. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know how many drops he had in that game.
Speaker 1: He didn't play all that well. Gronk isn't involved. But
Speaker 1: you know who is pretty involved and who looks really good,
Speaker 1: as much as I hate to admit it, is Antonio Brown.
Speaker 1: He does, he has been. He looks great, and I
Speaker 1: think they've got enough now. I agree. If ron Jones
Speaker 1: returned to practice, I don't know if he's gonna play,
Speaker 1: but I agree it's going to be very, very difficult
Speaker 1: for Leonard Fournette to run against the Saints. I agree
Speaker 1: with that, But I also think that the Bucks defense,
Speaker 1: as much as they you know, didn't look good, you know,
Speaker 1: against Taylor on I think a lot of that was
Speaker 1: that they probably prepared for Alex Smith to play and
Speaker 1: he would Bucks defense. Really I don't.
Speaker 2: But on the right as the Saints against three last
Speaker 2: game ever, potentially loses his career is done. It's how many?
Speaker 1: How many times, though have we seen the Saints have
Speaker 1: games where we thought they were going to win in
Speaker 1: the playoffs and they just didn't against the Vikings. And
Speaker 1: right now you've seen Drew Brees. You've watched all these games, right,
Speaker 1: do you feel confident in Drew Brees right now being
Speaker 1: able against a critical throw if they can get every.
Speaker 2: Okay with Michael Thomas, with Michael Thomas on the on
Speaker 2: on the field against that secondary, yes, I do.
Speaker 1: I think that's fine the Bucks. The biggest thing with
Speaker 1: the Bucks is that they are not only good against
Speaker 1: running backs running the ball, they are good against pass
Speaker 1: catching running backs, including Alvin Kamara. Like that is what
Speaker 1: I expect to happen now. I don't think either defense
Speaker 1: is going to be able to shut either offense down.
Speaker 2: I think, who's the kid that had the breakout game?
Speaker 2: Who I'm blanking on? His name for the Saints. The
Speaker 2: scatback who had a crazy game last week? Uh the
Speaker 2: Saint week? Yeah, I'm blanket on I'm blanking against the Bears.
Speaker 2: He had a huge game last week against the Bears.
Speaker 2: Who has been hurt most of the entire year. And
Speaker 2: everyone will be like, where has this guy been all season?
Speaker 1: I haven't. I wasn't watching the game all that closely,
Speaker 1: so I'm sorry. If I need to look at them,
Speaker 1: go ahead, look it up, then look it up then
Speaker 1: and find who it is. But where I'm coming from
Speaker 1: is I think both of these teams are going to
Speaker 1: be able to put up points. But I don't think.
Speaker 1: Look the Saints, you know they Harris. Deontay Harris is
Speaker 1: not a guy.
Speaker 2: Oh dude. He had seven catch If you didn't watch
Speaker 2: the game close, he had seven catches for eighty three yards.
Speaker 2: He was averaging twelve yards per catch, and he was
Speaker 2: unbelievable in the scene.
Speaker 1: Harris, I'm I'm well aware of the fact that Deontay
Speaker 1: Harris having seven catches in eighty three yards against the
Speaker 1: Bears does not make me say WHOA.
Speaker 2: Whose defense is better? Bears are Tampa?
Speaker 1: Maybe the Bears?
Speaker 2: Maybe WHOA?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Maybee the Bears.
Speaker 2: You. I'll make this bet right now. The Saints score
Speaker 2: more than twenty one points against Tampa.
Speaker 1: I have no I'm not saying that they won't.
Speaker 2: I'm not and they listen twenty one of the Bears.
Speaker 1: Do you think the Bucks are going to score more
Speaker 1: than twenty one on the Saints?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I really, I really don't know.
Speaker 1: I I so you probably like the under in this game.
Speaker 2: I would lean towards the under. Yeah, I mean I would.
Speaker 2: I I'm not playing totals this week at all.
Speaker 1: I'm not touching I.
Speaker 2: Got tot o win three last week. I'm not touching him.
Speaker 2: I was a half. I had fifty one and a
Speaker 2: half in the Bills game. This that I the two
Speaker 2: unders and the other two game and I miss those.
Speaker 2: I'm not touching totals this week. I'm staying far away.
Speaker 2: But I think this Saints team laying a field goal
Speaker 2: at home. I think Drew Brees he just threw for
Speaker 2: two sixty five and twenty eight of thirty nine. I
Speaker 2: think Kamara is gonna have a big running game. I
Speaker 2: think he's gonna have a big catching game. I love
Speaker 2: Deontay Harris to open up the middle of the field.
Speaker 1: I love that Deontay Harris is like their key.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so bad. I'm telling you he was such
Speaker 2: a big deal. He was a huge Heck, even even
Speaker 2: Bruce Arians talked about it this week that their offense
Speaker 2: having because he didn't play any other games, that he's
Speaker 2: a total game changer for them because of how quick
Speaker 2: he is and how fast he can get to the corner.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you that this is Ravens plus two and
Speaker 2: a half in Saints minus three. Are are my two
Speaker 2: favorite plays of the week.
Speaker 1: All right, hold on, I'm looking up not available on draftings.
Speaker 1: So I was trying to look up his prop for
Speaker 1: you on receiving yards for Deontay Harris.
Speaker 2: He'll he'll be there.
Speaker 1: Better right now. You can bet it right now? Yeah. Look, okay,
Speaker 1: So you love the Saints and three and I like
Speaker 1: the Bucks. I'd love it and I got it when
Speaker 1: it first, so I got it three and a half.
Speaker 1: So for me, that's where I was in on them
Speaker 1: at three and a half, and I actually tease them
Speaker 1: up to nine and a half, so that that's part.
Speaker 2: Of the mind not play. I mean, I don't mind,
Speaker 2: I don't mind teasing them up. I think it's a
Speaker 2: touchdown game, Max.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I look there, Look, there is a plausible way,
Speaker 1: because we've seen it before with the two teams, that
Speaker 1: they completely destroy them like that. The Saints just come in.
Speaker 2: I would I would be very surprised to watch any
Speaker 2: Tom Brady team get destroyed in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So I think, really what this comes down. And as
Speaker 1: much as you and I are going back and forth,
Speaker 1: I don't really think like we're well off. I you
Speaker 1: sound like you're giving zero credit to the Bucks defense.
Speaker 2: Is that I don't think the best defense is any good.
Speaker 2: I really don't.
Speaker 1: So I think the Buck.
Speaker 2: That the Washington football team moved the ball in the
Speaker 2: Washington football team, if they had one other wide receiver,
Speaker 2: probably win that game.
Speaker 1: I think that if the Bucks defense played like they
Speaker 1: played last week, you're absolutely right. I just for me,
Speaker 1: I think that that was tar about And you know
Speaker 1: again that that game I was like glued to. I
Speaker 1: have a very close friend who's a Bucks fan, so
Speaker 1: we we sort of watch all the games. I'm like
Speaker 1: a quasi Bucks fan whatever, But I do think that
Speaker 1: they played absolutely.
Speaker 2: Oh so you have a fandom interest in this game now,
Speaker 2: I see it.
Speaker 1: Now as somebody who bet against the Jets every single
Speaker 1: time I could. My fandom does not weigh in on
Speaker 1: how I placed my wagers. But I watched the game
Speaker 1: close and we were screaming at the at the defense
Speaker 1: like it was a terribly called game by Bulls. But
Speaker 1: I really I think it was much more because they
Speaker 1: they didn't know what to expect from Heineke and they
Speaker 1: weren't prepared for it. I think their defense, we know
Speaker 1: they can stop the run, we know that. I mean,
Speaker 1: can they take away Kamara? I don't know for sure,
Speaker 1: but they are really really good elite at stopping the
Speaker 1: run and at pass catching back, so I think if
Speaker 1: you can take them Ora out of the way. Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas looked good, looked healthy, So that is an issue absolutely.
Speaker 1: But again, Drew Brees throws lollipops out there. I don't
Speaker 1: think this is the type of offense anymore. That's just
Speaker 1: gonna be able to three seconds drive the ball down
Speaker 1: the field and score, you know, all the time they want.
Speaker 1: But more importantly, I think the Bucks are going to
Speaker 1: be able to score in this game. I really do.
Speaker 1: And my teaser, which by the way, is the same
Speaker 1: game teaser which we'll get to, is going to be
Speaker 1: the bucks up to nine and a half, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the total down and go with the over,
Speaker 1: which is the total down to forty five and a half.
Speaker 1: So that is my two team teasers.
Speaker 2: I mean teasing that total down to forty five, take
Speaker 2: the over, and that I do. I do direct, I
Speaker 2: do like the second.
Speaker 1: So that's that's really what I like. I haven't gotten
Speaker 1: out there and gotten like this is mine. I'm going
Speaker 1: crazy with the with the bucks. That is gonna be
Speaker 1: my pick though for and it sounds like it's gonna
Speaker 1: be your pick, So that is gonna be like the
Speaker 1: one thing I know, but that is gonna be my
Speaker 1: my teaser. Is that way. I think that this is
Speaker 1: gonna be a close game. I think they're gonna hang
Speaker 1: with it, and so I think realistically, I think the
Speaker 1: most likely outcome is probably the Saints winning a very
Speaker 1: close game within three points. So that's why I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna go. I think the offense is gonna stick
Speaker 1: with it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you're taking three and a half So from
Speaker 2: an audience standpoint, you're betting with me because the audience
Speaker 2: can't get three and a half. The audience not getting
Speaker 2: three and a half again.
Speaker 1: Correct, So I'm taking three, So.
Speaker 2: You're riding with me minus three for the Saints.
Speaker 1: No, I'm taking the bucks getting three. Okay, I'm still going.
Speaker 1: Look here's I don't like any of the.
Speaker 2: Saints are gonna win by three, So how could you do?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I said the Saints. I think are
Speaker 1: gonna win a close game. I think they'll probably win
Speaker 1: by what I'm all These lines are very sharp, Matt,
Speaker 1: like that. That's what we've talked about, right, There's no
Speaker 1: I'm not coming here. I'm like, I've got such good
Speaker 1: value on this line right now, Like if you got me.
Speaker 2: Way better than three, if you like I have three, right,
Speaker 2: I have it at three and a half.
Speaker 1: As a personal matter, But we are doing this show, right,
Speaker 1: it's not going to get back to three and a half. No,
Speaker 1: we know that there's no way it's getting back to
Speaker 1: three and a half, So we can't recommend saying it
Speaker 1: so for purposes of the show. Using the bettingpros dot
Speaker 1: Com consensus lines, which shows you the lines from every
Speaker 1: available sports book. It's at three. I still like it
Speaker 1: at three because Matt, if I'm if, I kind of
Speaker 1: think that the Bucks are going to win this game,
Speaker 1: so that that's where I'm coming from. Look, I have
Speaker 1: a future on the Saints winning the Super Bowl, so
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for the Saints in that sense, but I
Speaker 1: kind of think it good heads, We're going to win
Speaker 1: this game, so.
Speaker 2: It's a good head.
Speaker 1: That's where I'm at.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's ahead, so I think it works.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's where I'm all right, So let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's go to our official then plays. Matt will do
Speaker 1: one spread, one total, and then one two teams or
Speaker 1: teaser if you want to do teaser. So my mind
Speaker 1: where I guess we'll just be on opposite sides. It
Speaker 1: is my guess. But my favorite line is the Bucks
Speaker 1: getting three and yours is what is it? The Saints
Speaker 1: laying three?
Speaker 2: Correct?
Speaker 1: All right? Perfect?
Speaker 2: Really? And I may buy to two and a half though, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fine for the purpose of this is self. Actually,
Speaker 1: I could see getting into three. You know, that might
Speaker 1: be right because when I look at the DraftKings, it's
Speaker 1: minus one twenty nine to get to three. And a
Speaker 1: half at this point, that might be something which maybe
Speaker 1: I should just recommend.
Speaker 2: That going up buying it to buying it one buying
Speaker 2: it to three and a half. That's not bad. I mean,
Speaker 2: the hook is a big deal. I mean that's yeah,
Speaker 2: it's always the most expensive move to buy it off
Speaker 2: of three up or down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, it's one twenty nine on.
Speaker 2: It wants it to go down to two and a half.
Speaker 1: Let me check it right now, live looking at this
Speaker 1: hold on one. Let me get there. It's the last game,
Speaker 1: so I gotta scroll, all right. So the Saints ling
Speaker 1: two and a half would be minus one twenty nine.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so same different, So I would spend that
Speaker 2: one thirty.
Speaker 1: You want do that? All right? So let's make those
Speaker 1: are official players.
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Got about that all right? Because you can do that,
Speaker 1: get my minus one twenty all right, bucks getting three
Speaker 1: and a half minus one twenty nine, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: go with the Saints lang two and a half getting one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's cheaper than I would have expected, So I will
Speaker 1: take that. Actually, I remembered it now that I looked
Speaker 1: at it earlier, and I was like, oh, yeah, that's right. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: So we'll do that. So what's your favor You have
Speaker 1: to met a total. I know you're staying away from totals, Matt,
Speaker 1: but if you absolutely have to do you want them again?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Give me what? What is the Rams Packers total?
Speaker 2: Forty five?
Speaker 1: Forty five and a half.
Speaker 2: It's so sharp, My gosh, that that's.
Speaker 1: A really sharp line.
Speaker 2: I agree, gosh. I will take them in Ravens Bills
Speaker 2: is what forty nine and a half and Brown's Chiefs is.
Speaker 1: What fifty seven?
Speaker 2: All right, I'll take Brown's Chiefs under.
Speaker 1: Okay, Brown's Chiefs under.
Speaker 2: I'm not betting it, but I'll take the other. No,
Speaker 2: I'm not betting there, and it's the highest point total,
Speaker 2: and i'll hope for like a thirty to fourteen win
Speaker 2: for the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: Well, since I'm not doing it anyway, and you can
Speaker 1: tell our lack of confidence in these over underpicks because
Speaker 1: we're not betting it, I'm going to go with the
Speaker 1: one that I actually think is probably my favorite one
Speaker 1: to do, and that would be the Rams Packers under
Speaker 1: forty five and a half. That's a great line, it's
Speaker 1: right there. But if there's one game that I see
Speaker 1: kind of being low scoring, especially giving all the Rams injuries,
Speaker 1: it's going to be that one. So that's it. So
Speaker 1: do you have a teaser in mind, Matt? Yeah, you
Speaker 1: have ahead.
Speaker 2: Take the Rams up twelve and a half, take the
Speaker 2: Ravens up eight and a half.
Speaker 1: I like it, all right, and I will go same
Speaker 1: game teaser. I will go the Bucks. I'll put it
Speaker 1: at nine because it's at nine, which is fine because
Speaker 1: it's at three right now, so we don't have to
Speaker 1: do that. But the Bucks up to plus nine and
Speaker 1: the total down to forty five and a half. So
Speaker 1: those are our official plays. Is it tough? I mean,
Speaker 1: this is tough, man, They've got there's everything so sharp
Speaker 1: at this point, it really is so. But it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a fun weekend. I really look forward to it,
Speaker 1: especially Sunday. Sunday night. You and I are going to
Speaker 1: be probably texting back and forth, hopefully at various times,
Speaker 1: thinking I've got this, You've got this, whatever it is.
Speaker 1: But that's good, all right. So that's it for this
Speaker 1: week's show. We'll be back of course next week, just
Speaker 1: you know, just doing the championship weekend. Don't forget to
