1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Best of the Week for What's Right 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: with Nick Right the best takes and moments from this 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: week on the show. Enjoy. 4 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, So, Chador's final preseason game was a little shaky. 5 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 2: He threw for fourteen total yards, took five sacks, and 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: now Chador fans are coming out and saying that the 7 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 2: team and Kevin Stefanski are conspiring against it. But also 8 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett just got cut, so you know, if the 9 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: landscape changed up a little, Pickett traded to the Raiders traded, 10 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: so the landscape white have changed up over there a 11 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: little bit. What's the situation looking like for Shadur All. 12 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: Right, well, listen, he was he started camp fourth string, 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: he stayed fourth string. He's now third string because one 14 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: of the strings is on the Raiders. And I'm going 15 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: to give you the very sober analysis of this. Then 16 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk bigger picture of it, and then honestly, 17 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: we are not going to talk about the Cleveland Browns 18 00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: and the quarterback situation again, God willing for months, Shadora 19 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: could not afford the type of performance he had in 20 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: the third preseason game. It is as simple as that, 21 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: when you are a late round pick rookie. You can't 22 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: have a disastrous performance. You can't, and he did. It 23 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: was not the coach's fault, it was not the offensive 24 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: line's fault. It was he had a bad game, flatly. 25 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: And the reason it is extra concerning is those of 26 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: us that were skeptical that he was ever truly a 27 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,639 Speaker 1: first round talent. We were worried that his bad games 28 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: would look a lot like that, like trying to do 29 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: a little too much with his legs, overestimating his escapability 30 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: and taking those big, deep long sets. Shador needed to 31 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: thread a perfect needle, and he was. By the way 32 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: early on in camp. He needed to play well in practice. 33 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: It looked like he was. He needed Dylan Gabriel to 34 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: struggle in practice he was. He needed to play well 35 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: in the first preseason game. He did. He needed Gabriel 36 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: to struggle in the first preseason game. Gabriel didn't even play. 37 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: So all of that was going best case scenario for 38 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: Shadoor to achieve what was the only realistic goal for 39 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: him this offseason, which was past Dylan Gabriel in the 40 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: death chart. He was never going to be the Browns 41 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: starting quarterback in Week one. It was always the Browns 42 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: plan very clearly was one of the veterans is starting, 43 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: and then the kids are backing him up, and all 44 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: of it was going according to plan. Shadoor then offered 45 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: a slight injury which made him not able to play 46 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: at all in the second preseason game. Gabriel then, after 47 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: some really bad practices, played quite well in the second 48 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: preseason game. Then in the third preseason game, Gabriel played 49 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: quite well again and Shador had a disastrous performance. And 50 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: that is now that as far as the quarterback competition goes. 51 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: That is not conspiratorial, That is not unfair, that is 52 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: not unjust. That is life in the NFL. Is a 53 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: late round draft pick. That is what happened here. Also, 54 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: Chador fans need to recognize there's not a team in 55 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: the league he'd start for. Not one. You're on the 56 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: team with arguably the worst quarterback situation and he is 57 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: fairly right now their third best option to be a 58 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: starting quarterback. Okay, that is where we're at now. Is 59 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: that a death knell for his career? No is. Do 60 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: I think he has more potential than Gabriel because of 61 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: size and pedigree, I do, But if I had to 62 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: from what we saw in those preseason games. If in 63 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: Week one Flacco goes out, you would have to be 64 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: more comfortable putting Gabriel in. That is what it is. 65 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: That's not ridiculous, that's not unfair, that's not a vast conspiracy. 66 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: That is what it is. The reason I find this 67 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: story interesting is the reason I find a lot of 68 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: things interesting is when they are symbolic for a greater 69 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: problem or issue. And the Shador Sanders commentary, to me, 70 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: is a case study in what has in what is 71 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: currently ailing so much of our discourse surrounding sports and 72 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: other things, which is either totally uninformed actors or outright 73 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: bad actors churning the outrage mill to create engagement and controversy. 74 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: That then the current actual media feels obligated to treat 75 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: seriously because well, it's what people are talking about, and 76 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: then it becomes a valid, real story. And so you 77 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: have folks that absolutely know better saying things like Shadoor 78 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: was out there with the fifth string offensive line when 79 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: such a thing does not exist. It's like, oh, is 80 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: there's not that offensive lineman was tenth on the depth chart? 81 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: Well there's yeah, I kid it, but there's five offensive 82 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: linemen that play at a time, and so there is 83 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: the first of all, there is no such thing as 84 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: a fifth string offensive line. You have people who know 85 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: better saying, oh, color me shocked. Those offensive linemen on 86 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 1: the field with Shador were cut shortly after the game. 87 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: No shit, man, you're at a ninety man roster in 88 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: your third preseason game. Thirty seven of those guys aren't 89 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: making the team. Guest who doesn't make the team, Guys 90 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: playing at the end of third preseason games, and there 91 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: is It's just just a kerdle of enough validity to 92 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: the conspiracies. Because is it likely true that the head 93 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: coach didn't actually want Shador and the owner told him 94 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:21,679 Speaker 1: to draft him. Yes, probably is true. Is it likely 95 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: true that the head coach wanted Dylan Gabriel to win 96 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: that competition because that's the quarterback he wanted, and Shador 97 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: is the quarterback the owner wanted. Yes, that is likely true. 98 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: Does any of that mean Shador was put set up 99 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,720 Speaker 1: to fail, couldn't succeed? No, man, throw the ball away, 100 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: don't retreat back twenty five yards, don't don't make the 101 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: types of mistakes that some of us were worried you 102 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: would make, And it's not again, your a fifth round pick. 103 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: It's fine, but and because the own wanted you on 104 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: the team, you're likely going to get to play at 105 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: some point this year because the owner said both rookies 106 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: are gonna need to play. So the way this probably 107 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: goes is the Browns start the season, they're bad. Third 108 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: of the way into the season, they pull the plug 109 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: on Flacco. They go to Dylan Gabriel. They're still quite bad. 110 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: Gabriel as in my opinion, an overdrafted third round pick. 111 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: He doesn't look like the guy. And five six games 112 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: later they give Shador a try, and Shador is a 113 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: slightly underdrafted but still not ready fifth round pick. He 114 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: doesn't look like the guy. And next year the Browns 115 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: used the pick they got from the Jags and their 116 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: own pick to draft their actual quarterback. That's probably how 117 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: this thing's going to go, but it is the folks 118 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: out there promoting the idea league wide code read the 119 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: whole league was told don't draft him, and then the 120 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: Browns were told to draft him, and then internal Brown's 121 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: code read only call the bad plays Kevin and then 122 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: also the same folks and I didn't understand the Tyler 123 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: Huntley signing. I said that from the beginning, I didn't 124 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: understand Tyler Huntley playing that two minute drill. But the 125 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: folks saying Shador was set up to fail with that 126 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 1: terrible offensive line are unto the same folks saying and 127 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: how dare you not put him in in the two 128 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: minute drill? It's not that complicated, guys, And this isn't 129 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: fair to Shador. He did not do this to himself, demonse. 130 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 1: But here is a reality of it, this entire conversation 131 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 1: and media Maelstrom is one of the reasons he fell 132 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: on the draft because he's not a stud player. And 133 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: once and all and no other team is having to 134 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: answer questions about their deep end quarterback competition and it's 135 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: the only things Tofanski's had to deal with. So it's 136 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: just that is what it is, and the Raiders needed. 137 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: To why Garriel was ahead of him. I don't think 138 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,439 Speaker 2: anybody should be calling for a conspiracy like you saw it. 139 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's the thing, and that's what's to 140 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: me so disheartening is we saw the game and people 141 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: will still like, Nope, that does not jive with my priors, 142 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: That does not jive with what I wanted to be true, 143 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: And there is an element of have you ever watched 144 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: the this is a bridge too far? But I don't 145 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,239 Speaker 1: I don't care. Have you ever watched the Flat Earth documentary? 146 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: You should watch it. It's really a truly fascinating ninety minutes. Okay, 147 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: and these aren't bad people, and it is really interesting. 148 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: But the culmination of the documentary is one of the 149 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: group of flat earthers saying or spending a ton of 150 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: money into getting the equipment. I'm gonna get this a 151 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: little wrong. The optical equipment. You would need to prove that. 152 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna set up this pole and light here, 153 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:49,559 Speaker 1: and we're gonna set up another pole here, and if 154 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 1: the Earth was flat, the light will shine at this place, 155 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: and if the Earth was flat, the light earth around, 156 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: the light will shine at this place. And we're gonna 157 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: prove it. And they do it, and the light shows 158 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: up where it would show up if the Earth were round, 159 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: and the reaction initially is huh, let's try it again. 160 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: Then they do it again, and it is a brief 161 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: questioning is the equipment broken? And then it immediately goes 162 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: to Wow. The conspiracies even bigger than we thought they've 163 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: somehow hacked lighting. And there is an element of that 164 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: with some of the Shador stuff, which was right. It 165 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: was he's clearly better. He clearly should be the guy. 166 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: He's clearly not getting the opportunities they're clearly if he 167 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: and Gabriel were both playing, and then they play a game, 168 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: Gabriel looks good, Shador has a really really tough performance, 169 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: and instead of it being like, oh, okay, that's why 170 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: he was ahead of him on the depth chart, it was, Wow, 171 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: these sons of bitches will go to no end to 172 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: stop my guy. And it's it's a little canary in 173 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: the coal mine of some of the bigger issues we 174 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: have right now with what is truth and what is not. 175 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: And so I find it interesting. I do. 176 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 2: I know that. 177 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 1: My favorite NFL podcast, Greg Rosenthal's NFL Daily, which I'll 178 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: be on later this week. Actually, you know, they have 179 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: done they have tried to do a They have done 180 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: a really good job of like not leading with the 181 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: topic every day that you know, the shows, like the 182 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: TV shows like mine lead with the juiciest thing because 183 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: they're like really gooding you the news and information and stuff. 184 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: And I respect that entirely. But there is a deeper 185 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: element to some of the Shador stuff that I find fascinating, 186 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: just like there's a deeper element actually to some of 187 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: the Mica stuff that I find fascinating. That's actually about 188 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones and power and things like that. But at 189 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: the end of the day, chance. 190 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: If he looked better anyways, Like why would they want 191 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 2: to make him look bad? It would be in their 192 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: businesses for Shador to look great by the end, even 193 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 2: if they didn't plan on keeping him. 194 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: Of course, of course, guys who want to keep their 195 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: jobs want their quarterback, want to put the best quarterback 196 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah, I mean, there's most of the 197 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: most conspiracies Demanse fall apart at the first or second question, 198 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: most like and that you just asked the first question, 199 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: which is the wait, why again? Explain it to me? 200 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: Just like the the the chi the league rigged for 201 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: the Chiefs conspiracy. It's like, hey, remind me again, who 202 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: is the league? The thirty two teams? So why again 203 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 1: are the Chargers in on this? Like some explain that 204 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: to me. So most of them fall apart instantly, But 205 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: so listen, he had a chance to pass Gabriel and 206 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: if Gabriel, and the nicer way to frame it is 207 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: Gabriel after that injury and watching Shador in preseason Game one, 208 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: was under real pressure and Gabriel responded and so shout 209 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: out to him.

I have strong feelings 248 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: on a lot of these teams, but only one win 249 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: total that I want to bet, and that's the AFC North. 250 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: So Ravens demonse over under eleven and a half juice 251 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 1: slightly to the over. I am not betting it, but 252 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: you cannot. You can't pick a Ravens under until proven otherwise, 253 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: and so to me, they are an over when lamar 254 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 1: like last year, it felt like they lost a ton 255 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: of dumb games, they still won twelve and I like 256 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: the move the moves they made this offseason. I think 257 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 1: they will continue to be a regular season juggernaut. With 258 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: that said, the reason this is not a bet for 259 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: me is the slight concern that Derek hen we saw 260 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: the last great Derek Henry season. And if that's the case, 261 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: I could see them only winning eleven games. But it 262 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me if this team goes fourteen and three. 263 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: It would shock me if this team goes ten and seven. 264 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 1: So because of that, I'm an over. I imagine you Demanse 265 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: are a strong over for both. 266 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, definitely the best team in the NFL right. 267 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: Now, The best team in the NFL. 268 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 2: I mean easy top two er three. But yeah, so 269 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 2: that's good. 270 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: Wells, A lot of people think it's best team in 271 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: the NFL. Penick Kimes got very mad at me because 272 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: I did not, But I certainly think they are. They 273 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: are set up for massive regular season success. I also 274 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: think that when you were talking about like the Patriots 275 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: schedule the Ravens schedules in the other direction. Yeah, it 276 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: is brutality for the Ravens. Now what does that mean 277 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: for him? They they typically have a tough schedule this year. 278 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: To me, if you want it to hear it terrable. 279 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 2: Actually it's not. It's not that bad they I mean, 280 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: obviously you got the divisional games, but then outside of that, 281 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 2: like you got the Rams, you. 282 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: Have the divisional Yeah that's what. Yeah, you have the 283 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: divisional games plus the NFC North plus the other Uh 284 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: I have. 285 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: It right here? What's the other division that they play? 286 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: Sorry I had it and now I closed it. But regardless, 287 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: I think that and the AFC East. So the AFC 288 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: East is not brutal, but it's certainly not an easy schedule. 289 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: But there Listen, they win seventy five of their games 290 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: in the regular season with Lamar, they would be an over. 291 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: It's not a bet for me. Here's our first bet. 292 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 1: The Bengals under nine and a half wins at minus 293 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: one fifteen. Why is the defense going to be better 294 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: than last year's. And if the answer is lou An 295 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: Arumo was a was a you know, an inside agent 296 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: for the opposition, so be it. But I disagree. And 297 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: so the the They did get Drey Hendrickson back, that 298 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: does matter. I'm not dismissing that. However, they had him 299 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: last year and he led the NFL in sacks. I 300 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: think the offensive line could be a real problem. And 301 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: because of that, demons, I think Burrow, Listen, Burrow, Chase 302 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: and Higgins are gonna be great. Are they going to 303 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: be as good as they were last year? I don't know. 304 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: And because of that, to me, the Bengals have a 305 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: carbon copy year of last year. They win nine games, 306 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: they missed the playoffs, and they fire their head coach. 307 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: That is my major Cincinnati Bengals prediction is this is 308 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor's last year there. And here's the other thing 309 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: with the Bengals. When you look at their schedule, you 310 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: like to say, oh, it opens soft at Cleveland home 311 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,879 Speaker 1: for the Jags. They start every year so terribly. I 312 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: don't know that I want my easy games. Early last 313 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: year they started against New England and found a way 314 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: to lose. I also think Miles Garrett could wreak some 315 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: havoc in Week one against them. I just again, I'm 316 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: not saying the Browns are gonna beat them. I think 317 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: the Bengals aren't under and that that is a bet. 318 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: This next one, Demons is such a disrespectful number. The 319 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: rounds total said it four and a half minus one 320 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: forty five on the over, plus one twenty on the under. 321 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: It's an absolute stay away. But I will if I 322 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: have to pick, I will pick Over. Yeah, I mean 323 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: four and a half wins when you you get seventeen games. Now, 324 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: now it is given the fact that they were a 325 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: last place team, you look at the schedule and you're like, 326 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: where are the super easy games, and then you realize, 327 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,160 Speaker 1: like one of their strength of schedule last place games 328 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: is the Niners. Like that's unlucky. The Titans is a 329 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: last place schedule game. But they get the Titans demanday 330 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: late in the year and cam Ward should be better, 331 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: so you know that's a bummer for them. Uh, they 332 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:46,719 Speaker 1: get the yeah you don't right, Well, no, they start 333 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: unbelievable Bengals, Ravens, Packers, Lions is how they start, like, 334 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: give me a break. And then but I don't think 335 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: the Steelers and Bengals are going to be great. And 336 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: the numbers four and a half, I've got to go 337 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: over four and a half, and so I will go 338 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: over four and a half, but it's not a bet 339 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: for me. And then we get the Steelers, who cost 340 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 1: me a ton of money last year. I faded the 341 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: Steelers left and right, and they somehow found a way 342 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. Their total is eight and a half. 343 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: They are minus one p fifteen, minus one oh five. 344 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: I am an under for Pittsburgh, but it is not 345 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 1: a bet. I said this two months ago and I 346 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 1: will stick with it. I think that we have Mike 347 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: Tomlin's first losing season as Aaron Rodgers' final season. That 348 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: was a take I had before they signed Rogers. Brew 349 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: then made it his own take, but then he flip 350 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: flopped it, so I took it back, and so I know, 351 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: doubting that Tomlin can get to nine wins has only 352 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: ever been a losing bet, or doubting that he can 353 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: get to five hundred. He did go what eight eight 354 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: and one one year or something. He's never been below 355 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: five hundred others at some point, right, I would think so, 356 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: and I just I think they will have a good 357 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: but not overwhelmingly dominant defense. I don't think the Rogers 358 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: dk metcalf fit is a smart one like one that 359 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: makes sense, and so because of that, I am going 360 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: to go under on the Pittsburgh Steelers, which also means 361 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: through two divisions, I only have one bet. The bet 362 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: is Bengals under nine and a half, but I am 363 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: also skewing towards unders. The only I have under for 364 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 1: Bills twelve and a half, Dolphins seven and a half, 365 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: Jets six and a half, Bengals nine and a half, 366 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: Stealer eight and a half over Brown's four and a 367 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: half over Patriots eight and a half, and over Bengals. 368 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 1: I'm sorry Ravens and over Ravens eleven. 369 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 2: And a half. 370 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: Thank you ever.

Last year I made the mistake by bifurcating 387 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: them to try to minimize losses. This year, I'm going 388 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 1: with the ones I truly believe in and betting them 389 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: in multiple spots instead of doing like multiple units on 390 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: a win total. We'll do it like this first one. 391 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: Go ahead and tell the audience you can make fun 392 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: of me. 393 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 2: We've got the Jags at plus one eighty to make 394 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 2: the playoffs. I've got them too. I'm rhyme with you 395 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 2: on that. 396 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: One, Okay, Yeah, And I'm listen, I'm being I think 397 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: conservative because I'm not having them win the division. I'm 398 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: having them make the playoffs at plus one eighty. I 399 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: it's the biggest year of Trevor's career. I think he 400 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: comes through. I then demand say the next one is 401 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: probably the most juice I've ever laid on this show, 402 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 1: but I don't care. 403 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 2: Go ahead, Yeah, the Chiefs to make the playoffs at 404 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: minus three eighty. 405 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: What was that money laying on the ground? 406 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 2: One and I pick it up? 407 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: The you can you can say you're gonna lay. Yeah 408 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: I am. I'm gonna lay minus three eighty. And you 409 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 1: can be like, Nick, what if what if Patrick gets hurt? 410 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: I got bigger problems than the damn Chiefs make the playoffs? 411 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: Bet if Patrick gets hurt, I'll tell you that much 412 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:37,400 Speaker 1: right now. And so the that's that, Yeah, the Chiefs, 413 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: And so that means I'm gonna have to risk the 414 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: way these I should have made this clear for our 415 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: new listeners. All of our plus bets, unless otherwise specified, 416 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: all the plus bets we put one unit on. All 417 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: the minus bets, we we put enough. If it's minus 418 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: one forty. We put one point four unit on it. 419 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 1: We put enough to win one unit, so the chiefs, 420 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: I'm putting three point eight units to win one. But 421 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: that's fine. This one here, however, like I said, unless 422 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: otherwise specified, this next one is a half unit bet, 423 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: and the one following it is a quarter unit bet. 424 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: Go ahead. 425 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 2: You got the Raiders to make the playoffs at plus 426 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 2: three forty. 427 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I've talked a ton about the Raiders 428 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: in a bunch of spots. I just like the value 429 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: at plus three forty. This one's going to shock people, 430 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: I would imagine, but I'll explain it in a second 431 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: on people. 432 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 2: Giants at plus five hundred to make the playoffs. 433 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: All right, So the producers wondering, if I believe the 434 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: Giants can make the playoffs, why not also bet them 435 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: to win at least six games? Because here's the deal, 436 00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: They're I don't act you think the Giants are gonna 437 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: be really good. However, there has to be the shock 438 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: playoff team. I have cast my lot with it being 439 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: the Raiders. Is there an argument that Russell Wilson channel 440 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: something that d line Malik Neighbors continues on the Ascent 441 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: a soft NFC East because maybe Jaden misses time or something. Yes, 442 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: so I will. I think the Giants check a few 443 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: of those boxes, and at five to one, I'm good 444 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,719 Speaker 1: with it. So that's where that's where I land. And 445 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 1: then last but not least, and you can see this 446 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: team all over my gam This year. 447 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,719 Speaker 2: You got the Bucks at minus one seventy to make 448 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 2: the playoffs. 449 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they're gonna win the division, but maybe 450 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: you know, maybe Pennix is unbelievable and the Falcons with 451 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: that schedule end up somehow winning the division at least. 452 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: But the Bucks wills the only one car. The Bucks 453 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: are going to win ten games. Ten games will get 454 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: them in the playoffs at least ten games, I should say. So, 455 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: I just want to have action on the Bucks all 456 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: over the place. So my make the playoffs bets are Jags, Chiefs, Raiders, Giants, 457 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: Bucks with again half unit on the Raiders, quarter unit 458 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: on the Giants. Now the always popular missed the playoffs bet. 459 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 2: Uh, you love putting this team here. You got the 460 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 2: Steelers to miss the playoffs at minus one forty. 461 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,360 Speaker 1: This the Steelers in the the Steelers two years ago. 462 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: The Jags ruined me last year the Steelers ruined me, 463 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: so I do. I don't have If you remember, the 464 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: Steelers are not one of my win total bets because 465 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: maybe Tomlin's, you know, gonna somehow create enough magic to 466 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: get to nine wins. I don't think they're gonna make 467 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: the playoffs. I'll take them under one forty. This next 468 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: team is the team I've been fading through the show. 469 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 2: Go ahead, You've got the Colts minus two sixty to miss. Yeah. 470 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: I just don't see any scenario where the Colts find 471 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: their way into the playoffs with Daniel Jones in the AFC. 472 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 1: So I don't mind laying minus two sixty. And in fact, 473 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: you're going to see them somewhere else as well, in 474 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: one of my very few this year parlays. 475 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 2: Next, you've got the Broncos to miss at plus one thirty. Yeah. 476 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 2: I just like that. 477 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: It's plus money. You guys know that I'm not a 478 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: believer in the Broncos the way other people are. And 479 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: what is really unbelievable about where the Broncos stand is 480 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: they could It's unlikely, don't get me wrong, but they 481 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: could hit their over for win total and miss the playoffs. 482 00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: They could go ten and seven and still miss the playoffs. 483 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: I again, it's unlikely. Ten wins in the seventeen air, 484 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, in the seven game playoff field should get 485 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: you in, but it's possible. I still, I don't have 486 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: to spend more time on it. I'm actually going on 487 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 1: the radio with my friend Mark Schleret than Denver tomorrow 488 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: because everyone wants to yell at me, and that's fine. 489 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: I'll take the Broncos under nine and a half. Al, 490 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'll take the Broncos to miss the playoffs. 491 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 2: Go ahead. Uh. You got the Cowboys to miss at 492 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 2: minus two ten. Yeah. 493 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 1: I almost did this instead of their total, but I 494 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: decided to double down on Cowboy skepticism this year. I 495 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: just think a coach I don't necessarily believe in a 496 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,719 Speaker 1: drama with the best player on their roster. Yeah, terrible offseason. 497 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: I'll take them to miss. 498 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 2: You've got the Vikings to miss at plus one hundred. 499 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm actually this is the first one I'm 500 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: doing like this, and this is going to sound odd. 501 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw two units on this one. I just 502 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: think that it would in that division. It would be 503 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: shocking to me if the Vikings somehow find a way 504 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. I know they did last year. I 505 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: know they won fourteen games, and I do like Kevin O'Connell, 506 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: but I am going to fade the vikings to the 507 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 1: tune of betting there under and a two unit bet 508 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: and then last but not least again, go ahead. 509 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 2: You've got the Cardinals to miss at minus one forty. 510 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:34,439 Speaker 1: Yet the only reason my only trepidation there is what 511 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: if Stafford does miss a bunch of time and that 512 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: division feels wide open for everybody. So that is that's 513 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,919 Speaker 1: the extent of my real concern there. I also am 514 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: going to do one, not multiple like last year to 515 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:56,320 Speaker 1: Monsey one missed the playoffs, parlay and folks, we're going 516 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 1: to go. We're gonna put two units on this it is. 517 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: We'll tell the audience it's minus one thirty five. Tell 518 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: the audience who it is. 519 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 2: It's it's minus one thirty five. You got New Orleans, 520 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 2: the Jets in Cleveland all to miss the playoffs minus. 521 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,759 Speaker 1: I mean, hold on, you're leaving one team out. 522 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,920 Speaker 2: Oh, Indianapolis, I'm sorry, the Colts is. 523 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, if you without the Colts, it's like minus 524 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 1: four point fifty or something. I needed to have I 525 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: mean New Orleans, the Jets, and the Browns to miss 526 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,760 Speaker 1: the playoffs feels like it feels to me. Now listen, 527 00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: a lot of bets have gone to die this way. 528 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: This is not sound gambling advice. And again, gamble for 529 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 1: recreational purposes. Don't bet more than you can afford to lose. 530 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 1: But adding New Orleans to miss the playoffs or Cleveland 531 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,359 Speaker 1: to miss the playoffs to any preseason bet you make 532 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,280 Speaker 1: just to give yourself a little extra juice is not it. Again, 533 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: it's not sound gambling advice, except it feels like impossible 534 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: to lose. The team that I am most worried about 535 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: here blowing this up is actually the Jets. That the 536 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: Jets that if just you know, they run the hell 537 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: out of the ball, Aaron Glenn gets more out of 538 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,920 Speaker 1: the defense than Solid did. If those things happen, that 539 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: they would be my concern. But I don't really have 540 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: any concern. I think these are four last place teams, 541 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 1: four teams that I would be very surprised if they 542 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: didn't finish in last place in their division.
