1
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: What is up, straight Fire fan, It's me Jason McIntyre.

3
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Monday, December ninth. What a weekend it was.

4
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 2: Conference championships in college football had a little bit of

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 2: Kay's a little not too much, and the NFL yesterday

6
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: was you know, the games were not particularly close. The

7
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 2: drama was largely there though, because the good teams. You know,

8
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: when you get like the Saints and the Giants battling,

9
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: nobody cares about that game. It did get interesting at

10
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: the end, but the game like sucked, you know. I

11
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: mean you're watching Vegas and Tampa. I mean, the game's terrible, Jacksonville,

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: Tennessee unwatchable. But then you had Rams Bills and the

13
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: drama was unbelievable in that game. And folks, I'm gonna

14
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: start with this, and I should probably talk about the weekend.

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: You know, my kids played in they had the soccer

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: plays in the local leagues. They haven't lost yet, both

17
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: of them. It's awesome. Like it was overall a pretty

18
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: damn good weekend. My men's league team started the season.

19
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: We're on the revenge tour and oh my gosh, we

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: dropped one hundred and eleven. It was just insane. It

21
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: was just dropping bombs left and right. And our big

22
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: guy got ejected for a dunk. You're not allowed to

23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: dunk in this league. I totally didn't even know that. Well,

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 2: I knew that, but I forgot to tell him. I

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: thought it was just a technical. So he gets ejected

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: with seventeen minutes left in the other team's like, oh,

27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: we got this, we got They didn't have anything anyways.

28
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: So I largely missed the first half of Rams Bills,

29
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: but I got there for the end. And do you

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: guys remember Thursday Night Football, Dan Campbell manning up and saying,

31
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: we're not giving the ball back to Jordan Love, We're

32
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: not kicking a field goal. We are going here and

33
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna just we're gonna work the clock. They're not

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: getting the ball back. And it worked. It was ballsy,

35
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: but it worked well. The same thing was at play

36
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: with Rams Bills, and I'm sure the Rams had seen

37
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: that Arizona was getting smashed by Seattle. I called out

38
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: on podcast, but like a woss I flipped. When I

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: saw Kenneth Walker was out, I was like, oh, no way,

40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: and all these all the all the perceived sharps were

41
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: on the Cardinals, so I flipped in the contest did

42
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: not go well for me. But so the Rams are

43
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 2: just moving the ball up and down and they're dominating

44
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: the Bills. But Josh Allen is playing an otherworldly game,

45
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 2: a game where he cemented the MVP. There's not even

46
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: a discussion to be had. Okay, six touchdowns, four hundred

47
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: and twenty four yards of offense, Come on, guys, there's

48
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: no discussion. I know Goff's been good and Sam Dartle

49
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 2: was tremendous. We'll get to that. But Josh Allen was

50
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: so good that Sean McVay said, with a little under

51
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: four minutes left, I'm sorry, we can't kick a field

52
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: goal here. And it wasn't fourth and short. It was

53
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: fourth and five, so they were facing third and sixteen.

54
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: Stafford hits Parkinson for eleven and it's fourth and five

55
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: at the Buffalo thirty five. Do you kick a fifty

56
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: two yarder? I mean the way kickers were playing yesterday.

57
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: Now I know this was at O FI Indoors. You know,

58
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: kickers have been so bad late in the season, in

59
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 2: September and early October every but he was banging everything

60
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: fifty yard is no problem. But now last couple weeks

61
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: we're seeing miss chip shots a lot. I mean, the

62
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: Giants had a gimme to force overtime, Kid shanks it.

63
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: So McVeigh wisely said, we're not gonna kick. We're going

64
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 2: for it on fourth and five, and a lot of

65
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: the you know, the old purists, are like, oh, you

66
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: got a kick here fourth and five. You give the

67
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: ball back, dude, you were already leading by three. What's

68
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: the point in going up six? The way Josh Allen

69
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: is slicing and dicing, let me quickly give you Josh

70
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: Allen's three possessions before this decision by the Rams, they

71
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: went ten plays ninety one yards in four minutes touchdown,

72
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: five plays seventy yards in fifty one seconds touchdown, and

73
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: that was when they were down seventeen. They won six

74
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: plays in eighty yards touchdown in four minutes. The Bills

75
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: offense without kincaid, without Kean Coleman, was unstoppable. Okay, so

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: it's fourth and five and McVeigh very very wisely goes

77
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: for it, and of all the guys, it looked like

78
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: his first and second option. We're taken away he hits

79
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: two to two out well for eleven, keeps the drive alive.

80
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: And then of course it looked like a bubble screen,

81
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 2: a wide receiver screen to Pooka, and Puka Nakula takes

82
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: it to the house and as McVeigh expected, the Bill's

83
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: got the ball back, and of course Josh Allen scores again.

84
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: But the Rams secure the victory and stay alive in

85
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: the wacky NFC West. What is going on in that division?

86
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: Poka Nakula, guys, anybody who thought last year was kind

87
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: of fluky for Puka, I mean he was great, Like, okay,

88
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: we need to see it again. Well, you know he

89
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: was injured early. He did it again. Twelve of fourteen

90
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: targets caught, caught twelve for a buck sixty two and

91
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: that touchdown and oh, by the way, he also had

92
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: a rushing touchdown. Pooka Nakoua, in my mind, has emerged

93
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: as without a doubt, a top ten receiver in the league,

94
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 2: and I think there's probably a case for him in

95
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 2: the top five. You know, he's getting the ball and

96
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: he's still getting open and he catches everything. And it

97
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: was an impressive win for the Rams because you know,

98
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: Seattle went into Arizon and kind of thumped him. Kyler

99
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: Murray through two picks in the first quarter. It was

100
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: like Dad zookes. And Seattle now takes a one game

101
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: lead in the Division two over Arizona and San fran

102
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: Arizona's lost three in a row. I think that ship

103
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: has siled. Everybody got excited about Kyler Connor, Harrison McBride.

104
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: They've regressed significantly in the last couple of weeks, so

105
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: the Rams stay close to Seattle, and wouldn't you know it,

106
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: Rams finished the season at so far against Seattle. So

107
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: there's a chance that they're able to sweep the Seahawks

108
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: and win the division. That would kill my futures. Bet

109
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: I think I got Seattle plus six something, six sixty

110
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: five maybe. And the Seattle team's good, man, they are

111
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: very solid NFC a little chaotic. I just I like

112
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: the aggressive nature. And I think that the old school

113
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: football guys who are like, oh, you gotta kick, watch

114
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell doing, what's McVeigh doing, I think they're getting

115
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 2: phased out because almost everyone now is realizing, hey man,

116
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: look at how good Josh Allen's been. You want to

117
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: give that guy back The ball, you're gonna lose. And

118
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 2: I think Rob that everybody around the league is getting

119
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: smarter and understanding. Hey man, this is situational. This is

120
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 2: not like you're playing blackjack and it's like, oh, I

121
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: have a thirteen and the dealer has this and this

122
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: card's face up. I've got to do this. There's no

123
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: book on how to operate this. It is situational. McVeigh

124
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 2: pulled all the right strings in the Rams. Season is alive,

125
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: and I'll tell you Rob. You know Kyen Williams, Cooper, Cup,

126
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: Pooka Stafford. You get that quartet and they are going

127
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: to be dangerous and they probably if they get the

128
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: seven seed. Now, if they steal the division, that would

129
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: be incredible and they would host a playoff game. But

130
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 2: if they get the seven and they have to go

131
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: to Philly, oh that is not a good matchup. Because

132
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: Nick Sirianni, who nearly bungled, I mean goodness, we'll talk

133
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: about it in a minute. He nearly bungled the game

134
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: against Carolina. He does this against bad teams. But it

135
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 2: just it felt to me like McVeigh pushed all the

136
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:58,679
Speaker 2: right buttons.

137
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: Rob, Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the

138
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: head with the word situational, because again there is no

139
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: exact time or place to go for them fourth down

140
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: to make the aggressive play call things of that nature.

141
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: Don't let Dan Campbell fool you with what we saw

142
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: last week. His going for it rate is actually down

143
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: this year than it was last year, and that's including

144
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 3: him going forward on fourth down five times last Thursday.

145
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: What we saw from the Rams, and we'll talk about

146
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: them quickly first before we get to the situation that

147
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: their play call is winners of six of eight. Everything's

148
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: right in front of them. And lest we forget, you know,

149
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: you pointed out that Seattle plays the Rams in Week eight,

150
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 3: team with most likely the division on the line, Seattle's

151
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 3: next two games versus Green Bay versus Minnesota. You know

152
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. So like this is they the Rams

153
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: have their destiny basically in their own hands, because you

154
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 3: would expect even though at home, those are two games

155
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: that we think Seattle should lose. So if the Rams

156
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: can take care of business, and ever since they got

157
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 3: their guys back with Nikoua and Cup came back. When

158
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: they have Nikua, Cup, Kiren and Stafford together, they're as

159
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: good as any offense. In football, you know, especially situationally

160
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 3: with with Sean McVay call in all the right plays

161
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: and going back to that play call and the aggressiveness

162
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: on fourth and five to go for it. What you

163
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: saw from Sean McVay is because I think even the

164
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 3: numbers said don't go for it. So the you know,

165
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: the analytics said, no, this is not a good decision.

166
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: You're too far away. And the numbers say kick the

167
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: field goal. What he said is, no, I'm not gonna

168
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: do that, because have you seen what Josh Allen has

169
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 3: done to my defense this entire second half? Say for

170
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 3: a quick three and outs to kick things off like

171
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: he is going up and down and up and down

172
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 3: on our field. And good thing he did go for

173
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 3: on fourth down and convert because the very next time

174
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 3: Josh Allen got to them, what do you do, Mark's

175
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 3: right down the field yet again to set up an

176
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: outside kick situation. Like once, NFL decision makers can understand

177
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: and realize that sports are not black and white. Sports

178
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: are not numbers. It's not always analytical. The numbers might

179
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 3: bear out over the course of a season, over the

180
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: course of three or four years, the aggregating the median

181
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 3: is all gonna work itself out. But on a play

182
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 3: to play situation, a situation game to game basis, there

183
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 3: is a lot to be said about feel Dan Campbell

184
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 3: went for it last week, even though I think it's

185
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: ultimately gonna come back to buy him because of his nature.

186
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: He went for it because he saw his defense was

187
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: down to basically the walking wounded. They had nobody left

188
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 3: from their opening day defense. If we don't, if we

189
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: give the ball to Jordan Love, I'm gonna lose this

190
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: game because I know my guys can't stop a nosebleed.

191
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 3: Right now, Sean McVay knew his defense was getting carved

192
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 3: up by Josh Allen at his best chance to win

193
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 3: was to go against the grain, against the numbers and

194
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 3: put the ball in Matthew Stafford's hands, and it worked

195
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 3: out for him.

196
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 2: Now, I do wonder if like Nick Sirianni was watching,

197
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: I'm assuming he's watching the game. I guess these guys

198
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: who were coaches love football. But Nick Sirianni rob had

199
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: a similar situation in that Panthers game, which was they

200
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 2: didn't cover way too close for comfort. This is now

201
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 2: the third time they've stepped down in class at home

202
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 2: and not gotten the cover. It was Jacksonville, it was Cleveland,

203
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: and now it's Carolina. So let me set it for you.

204
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: Nick Sirianni and the Eagles up six late in the game. Okay,

205
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: they are facing third and thirteen due to a delay

206
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: a game they got pushed back. Jalen hurts to the

207
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 2: tight end for five, so they're facing fourth and eight

208
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: from Carolina's thirty six three minutes left. Bryce Young has

209
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: not quite been like Josh Allen, dog walking them up

210
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 2: and down the field, but John Bryce Young has been

211
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 2: pretty damn good. And Nick Sirianni says, hm, my kicker, Yeah,

212
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: he shanked badly. Elliot missed. I know there's no confidence

213
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: in him at all, but it would have been a

214
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 2: fifty three yarder. And Nick SIERRAI says, yeah, we're not

215
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: to do that. Let's try to drop off sides. We'll

216
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: take the penalty and punt, and you're up six. A

217
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: touchdown beats you and means you have no shot at

218
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 2: the number one seed in the NFC. I thought it

219
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: was a horrible decision. Now they pin Carolina at the three,

220
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 2: and for a moment it looked like it was gonna work.

221
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 2: It was a penalty. I guess Bryce Young crossed the

222
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, so they get pushed back, and all

223
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: of a sudden, it's third and two from the Carolina eleven.

224
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 2: And of course I was on Philly minus twelve and

225
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: a half. I'm like, ooh, we get a scoop and

226
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 2: score a pick six. I don't know anything, And of

227
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: course Bryce Young escapes and hits a bomb to Lagette

228
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: and Carolina's in business and Siriani starts looking like a

229
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 2: clown as Bryce Young continues to deliver. I mean, rob listen,

230
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 2: I don't know where people are around the league on

231
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 2: Bryce Young, but all I know is for the last

232
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: four or five games, he's been really freaking good. This

233
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: guy competes his butt off. Canalis, who we said with

234
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, has really got something going with these quarterbacks.

235
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 2: He's I don't know if he's a whisper, but he's

236
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 2: onto something. And Bryce Young looks like a totally different player.

237
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 2: He's not sitting in the pocket. It's a lot of

238
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: roll pockets. He's on the move and he's delivering, and

239
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: he has him driving. They convert a fourth and seven,

240
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: they end up with a fourth and four. And had

241
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: to take a delay of game, which really hurt. But

242
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: what really really hurt was a deep ball to Leget.

243
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: And Leget, the rookie from South Carolina, has been good.

244
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 2: He gets behind the defense and it looks like a touchdown,

245
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: looks like a catch, but on the replay it it

246
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: kind of wobbled and hit the ground, so no catch

247
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 2: and Carolina ends up losing the game. But I'm just

248
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 2: telling you, Rob, everybody loves Nick Sirianni. Right at the

249
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 2: beginning of the season. Oh, Sirianni and Hurts, they're not

250
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: getting along. Siriani's gonna get run. Maybe Belichick, I would

251
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: say in that stuff it looked awful. Behind the scenes,

252
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 2: Sirianni and Hurts get together, they get hot. Everything's money

253
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: and the Eagles are one of the best teams in

254
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: the league. But again, facing an inferior opponent, Sirianni questionable decision.

255
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: And this is the kind of thing I don't know, Rob, Rob,

256
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: it's a little early to say I have major concerns.

257
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: But I'm just telling you, Man, in a close playoff game,

258
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: like at this point, we know Dan Campbell, we know

259
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: what he's gonna do. Right, He's rolling the Dice McVeigh.

260
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: He's smart. He's much smarter than Nick Sirianni. Sorry, I

261
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: think mcvay's doing a good thing. I don't know if

262
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 2: I fully trust Sirianni now when when they're blowing out

263
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 2: the Bengals or kind of running through the Ravens, it's fine,

264
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: but man, some of these decisions I did not like

265
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: to kick. Now. Obviously I was on the Eagles to cover,

266
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 2: so I wanted them to go for it. But you've

267
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: got to stay aggressive, and six is how you lose games. Man,

268
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: So I listen. Obviously there's gonna be complaints about Sirianni.

269
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a lot of complaints from the wide

270
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: receiving room. As Jalen Hurts listen, Rob Jalen Hurts completed

271
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: fourteen passes for one hundred and eight yards. I don't

272
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 2: know what this offense is like. You can only run

273
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 2: so much. The Eagles offense didn't break three hundred yards

274
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 2: against Carolina. Now, they were three for three in the

275
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: red zone. But I don't know any concerns about Philly

276
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 2: for you or is this an overreaction to just a

277
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 2: Wonkee game against Carolina? With the Steelers on deck, no,

278
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what.

279
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: I don't think Nick Serianni is great, But I'm much

280
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: less concerned about him than I am with Jalen Hurts

281
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: because what we've seen now for basically a full calendar year,

282
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 3: you know, because he started off so hot in twenty

283
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: to twenty three and then they fell apart there at

284
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 3: the end, is that the NFL has quietly figured out

285
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts. Last season, he was the worst in the

286
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: NFL against the Blitz and that was the big reason

287
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 3: why their team fell apart down the stretch, and it

288
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: culminated in Week eighteen when he had what I believe

289
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 3: was the worst game against the Blitz in the NFL

290
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 3: that season. Leads to them dropping inexplicably a game against

291
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: the Giants. They have to go on the road against

292
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 3: Tampa and they get smacked. In the playoffs, they're out

293
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: one and done. This season, they start off doing what

294
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: exactly did last year. A lot of Jalen Hurts. Jalen

295
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: Hard's trying to show that he's worth a two hundred

296
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 3: and seventy million dollars condor whatever that he got, and

297
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: they start off what is it, two and two? They

298
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: turned things around as soon as they took the ball

299
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 3: out of his hands, they cut his passing attempts by

300
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 3: a third and they started giving the ball to Saquon Barkley.

301
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 3: I didn't even know this stat until you were talking

302
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: and started looking it up. The Philadelphia Eagles this season,

303
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 3: despite having an MVP candidate in Saquon Barkley, having two

304
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: All Worldwide receivers, and one of the highest paid quarterbacks

305
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: in football, have the least amount of passing attempts in

306
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 3: the NFL this season. Wow, three hundred and seven. I

307
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 3: don't know how that's possible. And that's a big reason

308
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 3: why you saw both DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown after

309
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 3: the game talking about we're not on the same page,

310
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 3: We're not seeing the right signals. What's your biggest issue? Passing?

311
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 3: Point blank period. Unless Jalen Hurts can turn it around.

312
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's Syrian, cause he's gonna call

313
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 3: the players. I don't know if it's Kellen Moore. I

314
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: don't know what they have to do to make him

315
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 3: more comfortable. But if they're going to be this one

316
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 3: dimensional heading into the postseason, I have a hard time

317
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: seeing them making any kind of noise when they got

318
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: to go through Detroit, they gotta go through Green Bay. Hell,

319
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: they got to go through Minnesota. And the Rams like,

320
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 3: if they are gonna just be Saquon left, Saquon right,

321
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 3: Saquon up the middle, and you're getting nothing out of

322
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: your highly paid passing attack, they're gonna be very disappointed

323
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 3: in Philadelphia come January.

324
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now listen, they were missing the tight end.

325
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: Who's good Goddard. He's obviously Dallas.

326
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: Godd'sren't hurt yet.

327
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: I don't know what his status is in regarding returning,

328
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: but you know, I'm sure he's gonna be back soon.

329
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: There is some There was some Philly chatter this week.

330
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: I know that this doesn't like sound realistic, but it

331
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 2: was like, hey, guys, we got Carolina, we can win

332
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 2: this walking sleepwalking, Okay, let's save our energy for Pittsburgh

333
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 2: next week. Now. I would bet a lot of people

334
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 2: watch this Philly resultant a're like, ooh, I'm not touching

335
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 2: Philly next week. Well, did you see the Pittsburgh game.

336
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh sputters for a half against Cleveland. Cleveland had a

337
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 2: freaking kicker. This could have been interesting, and then the

338
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 2: second half Pittsburgh wakes up and pulls away. But I'm

339
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: just I think Philly had an eye on Pittsburgh next week,

340
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 2: and so I'm not reading too much into this game.

341
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 2: Let me ask you quickly, Rob, real quick, one more

342
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 2: before we get to the college football playoffs. This Jacksonville Carolina,

343
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 2: sorry Jacksonville Tennessee game. Nobody watched it, nobody cared, nobody

344
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: bet it. But I'm just telling you I was fascinated

345
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: because Jacksonville by winning, by rallying, I saw it was

346
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 2: their first comfort behind victory when they were trailing at

347
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 2: halftime in like multi like two or three years. They

348
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 2: come back and win, and they're now out of the running,

349
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 2: well technically out of the running for now for the

350
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 2: number one pick in the draft. By beating Tennessee, they

351
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 2: now have three wins. This is how bad the bottom

352
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 2: of the NFL is. The Raiders and Giants are two

353
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 2: and eleven. Then it's Patriots, Panthers, Jags, Titans, Jets, Browns

354
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 2: all three in ten So technically you know, Jacksonville's alive.

355
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: But they went from one to five by virtue of

356
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: that win in Tennessee. Now I'm sure the players don't care.

357
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 2: We know this we've been over Doug Peterson. He doesn't

358
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 2: give a crap. He's not gonna be there next year. GM.

359
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: I doubt he cares. The owner is probably livid. I'm

360
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: just saying, if you have the number one pick, you've

361
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 2: got all the leverage in the world. You have a

362
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: decision to make. Do we want to keep Trevor or

363
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 2: move on from him? Do we want to draft Shador?

364
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 2: Do we want to trade it for a whole I

365
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: don't know, man, Rob. I was shocked that Jacksonville lost. Frankly,

366
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 2: I'm thrilled that my Jets absolutely choked in overtime. I mean,

367
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 2: Miami went right down the field, but the Jets nearly

368
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 2: pulled it off Aaron Rodgers first three hundred yard game,

369
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 2: and I think since the ice age. But I'm glad

370
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: the Jets lost. They're still in the mix for the

371
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: number one pick. Technically, yeah, you.

372
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 3: Know, I was probably one of the few who was

373
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: locked into Tennessee Jacksonville because they had big fantasy implication

374
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 3: for me. I had the Brian Thomas Tony Pollard stack,

375
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: which didn't work out too well for me.

376
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 2: But we'll start Will Levis. But it didn't.

377
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 3: Yes, you know, so you felt my pain. But absolutely

378
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 3: as a Raider fan, I'm so pumped that they got

379
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: that win. Because I don't know if you saw this,

380
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 3: this has been like an ongoing you know, at this

381
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 3: point it might patrolling, But Shador Sanders coincidentally, after every

382
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 3: Raider's loss tweets out God is good in all caps,

383
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 3: and then over every Raiders loss, every loss, every loss,

384
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 3: tweets out, God is good.

385
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 2: Wait, his dad never played for the Raiders. What's that about?

386
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 3: No, but I think that. I mean, they've they've said

387
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 3: multiple times publicly and reportedly that the Raiders are one

388
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 3: of the teams he would like to go to. The

389
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 3: biggest reason, in my opinion, is the connection to Tom Brady.

390
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: Tom Brady is a well known UH mentor for Shador.

391
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 3: Him and Diango way back. They're very tight, and I

392
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 3: think they believe that if if Shador ends up with

393
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 3: the Raiders, that Tom Brady will help get him to

394
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 3: the best he could possibly be in the next level. Well,

395
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 3: on Friday, UH Shador was in Vegas for whatever, reading

396
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 3: some kind of award show, posted a picture of Allegiance

397
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 3: Stadium on his Instagram with just the word legendary. And

398
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 3: you know what, I guys, they made me feel good.

399
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 3: I know he's just messing with us at this point.

400
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 3: I know he knows that Raider fans are onto this

401
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 3: whole bit. But the fact that he's embracing the idea

402
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 3: of coming to rate to Vegas makes me feel so good.

403
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 3: And now that we know that Jacksonville stupidly got it

404
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 3: come behind w it's only looking better for the Silver

405
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: and Black.

Speaker 2: I guess I got to talk a few minutes on

411
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 2: the lucky ass Kansas City Chiefs. I'm so sick of

412
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 2: this team. They went back to back games by a

413
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: score of nineteen seventeen. It's do they have a horseshoe

414
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:46,479
Speaker 2: up the rear end? I mean, is it Mahomes?

415
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: Does it read?

416
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: Is it both? I don't know, folks, I don't know

417
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: how to explain this. There's no way, no nothing that

418
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 2: you can say will make logic. Seven straight games they

419
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 2: have not covered the spread. Seven I had them, of course,

420
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: minus four against the Chargers, and you know they look

421
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: good early and then they just the inability to put

422
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 2: teams away. They're not a machine of an offense. They

423
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: lead thirteen to zero at halftime and you're thinking, okay,

424
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: we're coasting. We got this. And then the Chargers wake

425
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 2: up in the second half and they have two touchdown

426
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: drives back to back and take the lead at the

427
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: end of the third quarter. It's like the Chiefs went

428
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 2: to sleep with the thirteen nothing lead. And then of

429
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: course it's a battle of field goals in the fourth quarter.

430
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: I didn't love the timeout usage by hardball, but whatever.

431
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 2: Here's the Chiefs final drive. Fourteen plays, forty seven yards,

432
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: four minutes, thirty five seconds. That's what three points something

433
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: yards of play to close out the game. And then

434
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 2: of course the kicker, the backup kicker, the buttker, hits

435
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: the crossbar and it goes through or no, is it

436
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: the upright the outright? I'm sorry, HiT's the upright? It bounces.

437
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 2: You're like, oh, it's gonna be short, they're gonna lose. No, no,

438
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: because it's the Chiefs. It goes in. They've won nine

439
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 2: straight AFC West titles. Folks, it is I mean, there's

440
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 2: no other word you can use besides lucky. I don't

441
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 2: want to hear about it. Okay, I don't. It's nonsense.

442
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: This is not a great football team. Are they even good?

443
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm being dead honest with you. I

444
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: don't know if this is a They did not have

445
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: one carry over ten yards against the Churches. Not one

446
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 2: passes over twenty yards, one to Jujus Smith Schuster.

447
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: That's it.

448
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: This is an offense operating in a phone booth. The

449
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: offensive line's not great. They got to Mahomes three times,

450
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 2: the left tackle got hurt. They bring in Morris, You're like,

451
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: oh boy, bad news. And yet the Chiefs skirt by

452
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 2: once again. And I don't know, guys, I wrote sounds

453
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: of notes on this game. Are you ready for this?

454
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 2: And we'll take it to college football. Here are the

455
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 2: Chiefs three home wins in the division in the AFC West.

456
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: They win last night by the doink game winning field

457
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 2: goal at the Boar Buzzer against the Raiders. They botched

458
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: a snap on the drive that would have gone ahead

459
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: in the final minute. The Raiders snapped it off the

460
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 2: quarterback's shoulder and that was it.

461
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 3: That was that.

462
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: And then they beat the Broncos at home on the

463
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 2: blocked field goal. How is this? This is your king,

464
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 2: these are your champs. I know they won two straight

465
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: Super Bowls. This is nothing like the team that won

466
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl two years ago. Nothing, This isn't even

467
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 2: this team can hold the jockstrap of last year's Chief's team.

468
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 2: They are not a great football team yet. Yes, they

469
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: are twelve and one, and I know Chiefs fans love it. Hey, well,

470
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 2: let's celebrate guys again. Haven't covered the spread in seven straight.

471
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 2: Now they visit the Cleveland Browns this week. I'm sure

472
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 2: everybody's got a petzel dib. It's a lock against the Browns,

473
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 2: and the Browns stink and Jamis Winston will probably throw

474
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 2: two pick sixes in the Chiefs that win again. Then

475
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: they host the Texans. That'll be a win. Texans, come on.

476
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: Then they go at Pittsburgh on Christmas Day, and I'm

477
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: very interested in that game, very interested in that game.

478
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 2: Can the Steelers pull it off?

479
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 3: I don't know.

480
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 2: I like to think they can. I think it's actually

481
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: a good matchup with this terrible offensive line. Who is

482
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 2: Russ going to be able to cook against the Spagnolo defense. Historically,

483
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have done well against Tomlin's defenses, we'll see

484
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 2: and then they close out against the Broncos. Listen, I

485
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: just don't how even if you're a Kansas city yet.

486
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 2: Just step away, take off the red jersey, take off

487
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 2: the red glasses. Okay, look yourself in the mirror. Is

488
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 2: this a good football team? And the answers, No, they

489
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 2: got lucky once again, and you know what, a lot

490
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 2: of times you'll take lucky over good and keep doing that.

491
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: When they lose in January, we'll celebrate real quick and

492
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 2: we'll be able to touch on it later in the week, obviously.

493
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 2: But I need to quickly ask you Rob about this

494
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: college football playoff? Did you see Nick Saban's comments on

495
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 2: Sunday morning? Nick Saban, on the biggest platform in college football, ESPN,

496
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: comes out and says, if we don't take strength to

497
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 2: schedule into consideration, is there any benefit to scheduling really

498
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: good teams in the future Here at Alabama, we're supposed

499
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: to play Notre Dame, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Florida State in

500
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: the future outside the league. Those are great games for fans,

501
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: and I think that's what we should be doing at

502
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 2: college football, is creating more good inventory. But do you

503
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 2: enhance people wanting to do that because the SEC is

504
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: tough enough. Now. Just to be clear, Alabama got denied

505
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 2: in the playoff, SMU was taking over them. There's some

506
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 2: outrage in the SEC. Alabama lost three games all in

507
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 2: the SEC. Okay, they got destroyed by Oklahoma, a bad

508
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 2: Oklahoma team. And in the non conference who did they

509
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: beat that? That's so difficult. I maybe I'm missing it.

510
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 2: I didn't see it a win over Ohio State. I

511
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 2: didn't see a win over Notre Dame in the future.

512
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: You know what, Cancel those games, Nick, that's on you, guys.

513
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that? The league is super tough. Now,

514
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 2: there's Texas, there's Georgia going to A and m can

515
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: be difficult. Like I don't I just it felt a

516
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: little weak from I mean that I know that Saban

517
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: he's gonna do that, and you know, ESPN is obviously

518
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 2: very upset that an SEC team got denied. I just

519
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 2: thought it was kind of weak from from Nick Saban,

520
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: but we should be expecting that, right, Yeah.

521
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 3: I mean, I wasn't shocked by it at all because

522
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 3: he's been quietly, you know, trumpeting the SEC for a me.

523
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 3: He actually said on the McAfee show two weeks ago

524
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 3: that if there was going to be a three loss

525
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 3: team and make it to the playoff, it was going

526
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: to be Georgia, like they were the team that was

527
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,479
Speaker 3: going to do it. Because he was already anticipating that

528
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 3: that was gonna happen, I will say, and I might

529
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 3: be a ten tin foil hat guy with his comment.

530
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 3: I felt like the playoff committee kind of boxed themselves

531
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 3: in with their comments after the penultimate release when they said,

532
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: you know, we're not going to allow a team that

533
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 3: hasn't played in a championship game to leap frog another

534
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: team that hadn't played. So that was setting the stage

535
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 3: for Alabama to be in over Miami. That that they

536
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 3: had kind of set the precedent and they were very

537
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 3: public that that was gonna happen. So then when Clemson

538
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: upsets SMU and the way that they did it, it

539
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 3: put them in a situation where it was like, shit,

540
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: we just said last week that if you're playing in

541
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 3: the conference championship, you can't negatively be impacted. You're still

542
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 3: gonna make it it, just you can only improve your stock.

543
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 3: So they had no choice, it felt like, but to

544
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 3: leave SMU in and Alabama out, And to your point,

545
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 3: I can only imagine how pissed off the executives at

546
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 3: ABC and ESPN are knowing that they had a chance

547
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 3: to choose between Alabama and SMU, and the Crimson tire

548
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 3: are gonna be staying at home.

549
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, now I did look at I mean, the playoff

550
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 2: bracket is out, the teams with the buyer Oregon, Georgia,

551
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: and then wait for it, Boise State and Arizona State,

552
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 2: you know, and the opening get round games. Notre Dame

553
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 2: hosts Indiana. I like Notre Dame. There, Ohio State host Tennessee.

554
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: I like Ohio State, Texas host Clemson. I like Texas

555
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: Texas big. I haven't bet any of these, but I

556
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: haven't even looked at lines. Sunday was just too busy.

557
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: And then Penn State hosts SMU. Here's the thing, Rob,

558
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 2: If Penn State be SMU, Penn State goes to Boise

559
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 2: or is that a neutral site game in the semifinal?

560
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 3: Oh I have to look that up because I know

561
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 3: that they were trickling it out about where these Bowl

562
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 3: games were going to be played in the second round,

563
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 3: So I got to look that up.

564
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: But like Penn State, Boise State to me, that's like,

565
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 2: you know, Penn State should win. They'll probably be favored

566
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: by ten. So Penn State to me, has a path

567
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: to the semifinal, which is I think that's a massive

568
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 2: that's that's huge Penn State, Like, you know, is Penn

569
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 2: State a TV draw? I don't know. I'm they could

570
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 2: have put Ohio State there at six, but I guess

571
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 2: because Penn State went to the conference championship. Overall, it's

572
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: kind of a weird playoff because we're shaping up to

573
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: get Ohio State Oregon round two and then Notre Dame

574
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: Georgia round two. But then Texas has Arizona State, Like.

575
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 3: What I mean, like Arizona State man, dude.

576
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: Dave dillinghan Man.

577
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: That guy looks good, he's a good coach, and that

578
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: running back the big white dude Scataboo. Yeah, I want

579
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: the Jets to drafted by the way Jets fans just fyi,

580
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: Brishall now has played three seasons and he's been hurt

581
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 2: in two of them. And if you look on Reddit,

582
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: and I do not say that's a trusted source of news,

583
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 2: but on Reddit there's chatter that Breeshall was seen at

584
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: a hospital getting an MRI and they shut him down.

585
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 2: And just FYI, they put in this white guy, Davis,

586
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 2: who I don't know. I'm not familiar with his work,

587
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 2: and Davis had a good game. It's like, listen, running

588
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 2: backs are flexible and you could plug and chug. I mean,

589
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 2: Bucky Irving last week, Bucky Irving miss is this week?

590
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: Whoever this kid is for your Raiders? Sincere Smith, what's

591
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: his name? Sincere McCormick, Sincere mccorn what is that? Sincere

592
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 2: is his first name?

593
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 3: I have no idea.

594
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: I tried to help my brother out. He was like,

595
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 2: who should I start a running back? And it's bleak?

596
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: And I was like, just go with Abdullah because you know,

597
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: the Panthers ran wild. Abdullah gets like no touches after

598
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 2: a big week last week. It's tough. So he's battling

599
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 2: for a playoff spot. But anyways, yeah, so uh just

600
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: college football playoff is gonna be interesting. Hey, and listen.

601
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 2: The good news is we don't have to wait three

602
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 2: four weeks to get the good games. On January first,

603
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 2: we get them here in two weeks. It's gonna be good.

604
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 2: I can't wait. I'm fired up, very excited for the

605
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: college football playoffs.

Speaker 1: Here's your best bet.

612
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: All right, let's wrap up with best bet Bengals at

613
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 2: the Cowboys in a Monday night football game that isn't

614
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: super interesting, neither team going to the playoffs. I do

615
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: have there's major fantasy implications, obviously because of Burrow, because

616
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 2: of Chase Brown, because of T Higgins. I'm sure some

617
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 2: people are starting Ceedee lamb Rigo Daldell, like Ferguson. There's

618
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 2: a lot of fantasy actions, so there is gonna be

619
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 2: some interest in this. I'll just say, from a gambling perspective,

620
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 2: my greatest college basketball stretch ever. I won eleven straight

621
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 2: games this week. And I know you're being like Jay,

622
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 2: Come on, I posted every game on Instagram stories. If

623
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: you follow me and you click the stories, you saw

624
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: them eleven straight. Saturday night, I lost UC riverside, and

625
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 2: then Gonzaga blew an eighteen point lead at home in

626
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: a quasi home game in Seattle and lost in overtime

627
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: to Kentucky. That one hurt, and it was a great week.

628
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: I go into Sunday flush with cash. Saturday was a

629
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 2: winning day in college football. Not by much. It was close,

630
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 2: and I got my teeth kicked in guys, Sunday. Just

631
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,959
Speaker 2: I mean, you look at it, it's just read everywhere.

632
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, are you freaking kidding me? The total

633
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 2: in Cardinal Seahawks that was garbage. That was a big

634
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: one for me. Eagles, that was a big one for me.

635
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: I had the Chiefs, they didn't cover. I did have

636
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: the under and that so that hit, which was great.

637
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 2: But overall it was I don't want to say bloodbath,

638
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 2: but man, it was freaking close. And again I don't

639
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: what do I care going through this stuff. Guys, Let's see,

640
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 2: I'm not salty or anything. I had the Bears getting

641
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 2: the points. I had the Bears on the money line.

642
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: I remember last week or I won two or three

643
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 2: teasers over three on teasers this week? Oh no, wait no, no,

644
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 2: here's a teaser that hit. Oh this saved me, Okay,

645
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 2: this saved me from being officially a bloodbath. I had Vikings.

646
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: This was a six point teaser, so I had Vikings

647
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 2: to win. They easily did. I had the Saints tease

648
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: through zero, so they could have lost by one. So

649
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 2: plus saintswest one and a half that hit that could

650
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: have lost in overtime. Buccaneers teased down to just winning

651
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: by half a point, and then the Dolphins pick them,

652
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: which needed overtime. It's tough to hit teasers, but you know,

653
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 2: when you don't feel good about the card, it's not

654
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: bad to toss a couple teasers. And so that one

655
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: hit Dolphins minus five and a half hit. I feel

656
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 2: bad for the folks who had six over in Brown's

657
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: Steelers that didn't hit over forty four and a half.

658
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: My gosh, freaking Browns kicker. The under in Falcons Vikings

659
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 2: that got obliterated. Vikings did hit, Eagles did not. Man,

660
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 2: it was not a good one. So let's see what

661
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 2: are we looking at here. We have so far in

662
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 2: the account, we have over forty nine and a half

663
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: Bengals Cowboys. Let's see where that's at now, Riveting Podcast,

664
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: Gambling Talk. It is now at oh it's still forty

665
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 2: nine and a half. Okay, and Bengals minus five and

666
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: a half. So my issue backing the Bengals this year

667
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: is the defense leaves things wide open every freaking week.

668
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: The Bengals are one of the worst teams in the

669
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: NFL against the spread this season simply because they cannot

670
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: defend anybody. They cannot get stops, the back door is

671
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: always going to be open. The Bengals this season against

672
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 2: the spread are six and six. But this is where

673
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: it gets interesting. If you look at them as a favorite,

674
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 2: they are terrible as a favorite. They did not cover

675
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 2: against New England as a dog against KC. They covered

676
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 2: as a favorite against Washington, Nope. The only times they've

677
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 2: covered as a favorite are the Giants, the Panthers, the Browns,

678
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 2: and Vegas. They did not cover against Philly they were

679
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 2: They did cover as a dog against Baltimore, and they

680
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 2: did not cover as a favorite last week against Pittsburgh

681
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 2: against the Chargers, they were getting one and they lost.

682
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: Like you know, their overs are smashing. They are an

683
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 2: over team for sure. Last one, two, three, four, five

684
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 2: games have flown over the total. I see that happening indoors.

685
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 2: My only fear, here's my fear with the Bengals to

686
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 2: back them. Here is Rico Dowdell has a good game,

687
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 2: and he looked good on Thanksgiving against the Giants. He now,

688
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 2: again it's the Giants and everybody runs on those clowns.

689
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 2: But we're talking about a Bengals team, and you have

690
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 2: to wonder where's the where's the interest level in this

691
00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 2: game for Cincinnati. I would say guys are playing for contracts,

692
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 2: but I don't know that all of them want to

693
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: be there. This is what the Bengals have given up

694
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 2: defensively in their last few games against the Steelers forty

695
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 2: four points, Chargers thirty four, Ravens thirty five, even the

696
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: Raiders when they smashed them, they got twenty four, Eagles

697
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 2: thirty seven. They did hold terrible Giants and Browns in

698
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: check on the road, So there's hope, But indoors don't.

699
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 2: I don't know how they stop anybody. Now. Cooper Rush eight,

700
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: he's not great, is he? I don't think he's great.

701
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 2: Cede Lamb sounds like he's gonna go, Jake Ferguson will go,

702
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: and I just I just wonder if this is last

703
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: team that has the ball wins, maybe what I would

704
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 2: like is Cowboys get the ball first go down and score,

705
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 2: and the live total goes up to or goes down to,

706
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 2: you know, Bengals minus three, then I would love that

707
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 2: it's currently five and a half. So I think this

708
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 2: is a live betting opportunity, you know. And it's these

709
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,879
Speaker 2: meaningless games that I don't know how to candy cap.

710
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 2: Remember Bears Niners this Sunday, you know, game doesn't mean

711
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: anything to the Bears. They're done. It doesn't mean really

712
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 2: anything to the Niners. I believe they're done. Other people

713
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 2: think they have a shot, but given the injuries, I

714
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 2: think they're toast.

715
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: Now.

716
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 2: They do have the Rams this week, I'm sorry, not

717
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 2: the Rams. They have no it is the Rams. They

718
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: got a huge game this week, and it's like, okay,

719
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 2: are the Rams gonna try? Because I don't know, I've

720
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: watched some of these teams around the league kind of

721
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: sort of look like they quit, Like the Bears look

722
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,919
Speaker 2: like they didn't want to be in the football game.

723
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: It was three hundred and fourteen to two or something

724
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 2: like that at halftime in yardage Like do some of

725
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 2: these teams do they not want to be there? It

726
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 2: does feel like and I'll give McCarthy credit, he's gotten

727
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 2: his team to show up in the first half. They

728
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 2: definitely showed up and they fight hard. Now is that

729
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: gonna be enough? I feel like the Bengals are quitters,

730
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 2: so I kind of would ride. If you said, Jay,

731
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 2: who do you like before the game? I would say,

732
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 2: give me the Cowboys getting five and a half. I

733
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 2: do think the Bengals are the better side, but in

734
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 2: game I would probably take if you could get me

735
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: Ben go three because the Cowboys lead, I don't know

736
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: thirteen to three. Joe Burrow is gonna be chucking duck

737
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: fourth quote, he's coming back. You know that guy's not quitting.

738
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 2: He's got MVP numbers, So you know it's complicated. It's

739
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 2: not easy. Is it ever easy? Guys? Not really betting

740
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 2: on the NFL. It is a fool's Errand back tomorrow.

741
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 2: Talk to you then,
