Speaker 1: Throwing in Joe spect. We're saying it's a catch touch till.

Speaker 2: We see most gamblers when they go to gamble, they

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 2: go to wind.

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: That's incredible, big bank, small banks.

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:24,919

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: and we will get to Monday night football between the

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: Chargers and the Broncos once again on prime time. Please

15
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: don't stop listening to the podcast after that part. I

16
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: know that's annoying to a lot of people these days.

17
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: But we will get to game because it's a game

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: and you're gonna watch. Come on. We will also get

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: the hot read for Week seven later on in the program.

20
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: Brendan Glashee and your host with Action Network senior writers

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: Brandon Anderson and Jill Gallant. Just after midnight here on

22
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: the East Coast, Sunday night football raps between the Eagles

23
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: and Cowboys. It was a week six that had twelve games.

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: Of course, four teams on the by so two games

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: absent from the normal fourteen on Sunday. We're gonna start

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: right there. We're gonna start Cowboys and Eagles. Dallas was

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: shut out through the first half, twenty to nothing. Eagles

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: exert their dominance in this division battle, and then the

29
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys make a run there in the second half, and

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: you start thinking, oh, are the Eagles really gonna blow this?

31
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: But DeVante Spids scores a touchdown to create some separation.

32
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Eagles win twenty six seventeen. They cover six, six and

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: a half, whatever number you had. Dallas again did make

34
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: it interesting. But we'll lead here, Brandon Anderson. The the

35
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: Eagles get there again, they remain unbeaten, the loane unbeaten

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL?

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: What team?

38
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 1: What team are you more convinced by? First half Philadelphia

39
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: or second half Philadelphia?

40
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 4: You know, it felt great watching the Eagles early on.

41
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 4: I was like, man, this team is just firing all

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 4: the cylinders. That second quarter thing. They put the numbers up.

43
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 4: Eagles are just demolishing teams in second quarters. But I

44
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 4: came away after the game looking at the numbers, being like,

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 4: you know, we settled in. We gave Dallas's defense some

46
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 4: time and they started to catch on a little bit,

47
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 4: it seemed like to that Eagles attack. Now, it's hard

48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 4: to say it because second half, like you said, the

49
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 4: Eagles kind of started slowing things down. Now, is that

50
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 4: because we're protecting a big lead and so we're kind

51
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: of going to a prevent offense. If it were that

52
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 4: could be the case for some teams, it really shouldn't

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: be for the Eagles. When you have such a strong

54
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 4: run attack like that should be your best offense.

55
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 3: That sort of spot.

56
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: The problem is Lane Johnson went out right tackle Lennon

57
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: Dickerson went out for a bit, and that changed everything.

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 4: Because first half, the domination was the Eagles offensive line.

59
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 3: They were healthy.

60
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: We waited on that this week and they looked the

61
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 4: part and they basically had the perfect game plan for

62
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 4: Micah Parsons, like the RPOs making Micah Parsons be the

63
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 4: decision maker and then just wherever he went, going to

64
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 4: somebody else with the ball there. And I think that

65
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 4: was by design. Clearly, the depth of target was short

66
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: on purpose for Jalen Hurts. They're just saying, Okay, Micah

67
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: Parsons is gonna come off over here, we're gonna block him,

68
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 4: and then wherever he goes, we're gonna split it to

69
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 4: somebody else over there. So I need to watch again

70
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: because I don't know if I should be very encouraged

71
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: by Dallas's defense actually stiffening up in the second half.

72
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: They held the Eagles to only two or sixty eight

73
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: yards for the game, three point nine yards of play

74
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: like that for for an offense has been this good

75
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: for Philadelphia, you have to feel pretty good about that,

76
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: especially as much as the Eagles went out ahead. I

77
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: need to see more because I can't figure out is

78
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 4: this a sign that, hey, the Eagles offensive line just

79
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 4: got a little banged up and you know that happens,

80
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: and then Dallas pass rush got home or is this

81
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 4: that kind of gimmicky Eagles offense that finally faced a

82
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 4: real defense and after a few drives, the defense started

83
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 4: to be like, you know what, I think we got

84
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 4: some answers here I have in my notes. Next time

85
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 4: these teams play again, obviously it's a division battle. Dak

86
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 4: Prescal will be back, and we've seen this Dallas defense

87
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 4: tighten up against the offense I already have in my notes,

88
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 4: So I'm looking to bet Dallas in the rematch next time.

89
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: Jill One of the things you talked about before we

90
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: went live. One thing that jumped out to you was like, Okay,

91
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: the Eagles on the Fanduels sportsbook plus five point fifty

92
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: second favorite to win the Super Bowl. And you read

93
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: that out loud, you read it to yourself and think,

94
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: did we really see the second best team in the

95
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: National Football League tonight?

96
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't want to sound biased, because again

97
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: I am a Cowboys fan. I'll say that up front,

98
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 2: but I do think the main thing that you take

99
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: away from this game is the Dallas defense.

100
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: I thought they played pretty well.

101
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: I mean, they held that rushing attack to less than

102
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: I think it was around three point six years per Carrie,

103
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 2: just double checking yet three point five years per Carrie,

104
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: and you know Jalen Hurts only threw for about one

105
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty yards. Just a lot of undisciplined plays

106
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 2: and of course the turnover in their own end. So

107
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: a lot of it is bad coaching. I like dan

108
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: Quynn Mike McCarthy was not doing the many favors going

109
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: forward on fourth and one in their own end when

110
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: they clearly got it. If they just would have slowed

111
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: down and just got the replay. Somebody had to have

112
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: told them in the booth, But I think the Cooper

113
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: rush is clearly not the answer. You probably could have

114
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 2: had ten interceptions tonight. He was eighteen for thirty eight passing.

115
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you did to throw a touchdown at Jake Ferguson.

116
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: That was kind of nice. That was a plus four

117
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: or fifty touchdown. It did look nice at the time,

118
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 2: you know, cutting into that deficit. But I mean, the

119
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 2: Cowboys just shot themselves on the foot right from the jump.

120
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: They were down by thirteen points in the first half.

121
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: They pretty much or gifted it to them, like three

122
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: straight drives in the Cowboys and that their own thirty five.

123
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 2: There's not really you can't really fault the defense for

124
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 2: kind of allowing scores on that front when that happens.

125
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 2: But you're right, I'm not really ready to have the

126
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: Eagles above the Chiefs yet in Super Bowl odds. I'm

127
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 2: not really ready yet to say that they would be

128
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 2: able to put up a challenge against the Bills. I'm

129
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: not even really ready to say that they would beat

130
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers if they were playing in a playoff game.

131
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: Maybe even the forty nine ers, And you know, you're

132
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: looking at those odds like I fandeled right now, the

133
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: Buccaneers are eleven to one, Niners are seventeen to one.

134
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Brandon, I'm not going to include the Vikings

135
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 2: yet in that spot at sixteen to one. But I

136
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: do think that even the Vikings would give them a

137
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: challenge again in another situation once They've got to look

138
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 2: at that right. So I think that's the only thing

139
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,119
Speaker 2: that I would just say is that I'm not ready

140
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: again to just sign off on the Eagles being the

141
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: best team in the NFL just because they're six to zero.

142
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 2: But I do think that the Cowboys didn't do themselves

143
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: any favors, and I'm looking forward to the rematch on

144
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve.

145
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush had to play from behind as a starter

146
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: for the first time, and we saw how that went.

147
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: Three interceptions. You mentioned the sloppy plate ten penalties in

148
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: the game. It felt like Collinsworth kind of said it

149
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: there at the end of the game, like this kind

150
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: of paves way now for dak to come back and

151
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: it won't feel as much pressure in terms of following

152
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: up a great performance against a division rival. So we

153
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: shall see when these teams meet again what it looks

154
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: like and how it unfolds. And you got the Giants

155
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: in the mix too. We'll get to the well get

156
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to every game from today, so we'll

157
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: get to the Giants soon. Let's hit on Kansas City

158
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: and Buffalo. That was the game everyone looked forward to.

159
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't have to really tell you much, guys,

160
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: just to set you up for this. Everyone knew coming in,

161
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: probably the best two teams in the league. Defensively, I

162
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: thought we saw some strengths from both of these teams today.

163
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: The underhits in this one pretty convincingly. Twenty four to

164
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,559
Speaker 1: twenty Bills win. They cover minus two and a half,

165
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: minus three, whatever number you got, Brandon, how do you

166
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: pick apart this game from a gambling perspective? What comes

167
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: to mind?

168
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 4: So big pictures takeaway? I think Josh Allen won the

169
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: MVP of this game. Josh Allen is your MVP. We

170
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 4: got a long ways to go, but we talked about

171
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 4: this coming in. They have the Bills now have at

172
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 4: least a full game on every team in the AFC.

173
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 4: They are up a tie break on all three other

174
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: division leaders right now. They've beat all three division leaders

175
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 4: head to head, and we know that to an MVP,

176
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: you basically need to have a lot of stats, which

177
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 4: Josh Allen clearly does. You have to win a lot

178
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 4: and hopefully be the one seed, which the Bills are

179
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 4: going to be heavy favorites for when that market reopens.

180
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 4: So I think Josh Allen is a big favorite for MVP.

181
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: That was a nice money line, sneaky weight at this game,

182
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 4: and it came down to those two drives for Alan,

183
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 4: the touchdown drive at the end of the first half

184
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 4: and then the winning one at the end of the

185
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: game man end of the first half. That's a sequence

186
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 4: that stood out to me. What team ever, even I

187
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 4: don't think the Chiefs do this. It's tharnd down in

188
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 4: thirteen on the one yard line, their own one yard

189
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 4: line for the Bills with a.

190
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: Minute eighteen till halftime. Any team, almost any team like in.

191
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 4: The history of the NFL is literally gonna like call

192
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 4: a QB sneak there, push the pile two yards, get

193
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 4: the punter a little space, move the clock and hope

194
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 4: to God that you just kept Pat Mahomes on the

195
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 4: sidelines a little bit longer, and hopefully you don't give

196
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 4: up a field goal before the half, right, That's that's

197
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 4: all any team wants to do in that spot. Josh

198
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 4: Allen rolls right, rips a pass through the metaverse eighteen

199
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 4: yards to Gabriel Davis, and then you know it's on

200
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 4: because again, any other team says, Okay, we got out

201
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 4: of the end zone. We're just gonna run the clock

202
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 4: out and now we did the job, get the halftime,

203
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 4: Let's come out and find another battle. Nope, No, Hoddle

204
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 4: up to the line, three yard pass, then a thirty

205
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 4: yard rip to Stuff, digs out to like the fifty.

206
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 4: Another quick pass to Shakir. Now you're in field goal range,

207
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 4: and then Gabe Davis down the sideline. Nothing the defender

208
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 4: can do. When Josh Allen just throzen on a rope

209
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 4: like that ninety nine yards?

210
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: What is that? One?

211
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: Two, three, four, five plays And that flipped the game

212
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 4: and I think that flips the season. That sequence, to me,

213
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 4: that is an MVP sequence for Josh Allen. And if

214
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 4: this team wins a Super Bowl, that might be a

215
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 4: sequence that comes at the top of the Super Bowl

216
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 4: DVD that that sequence, those throws by Josh Allen, then

217
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 4: later on the winning drive that hurdle run down near

218
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 4: the end. Those are the plays that only Josh Allen

219
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 4: can make. And that isn't a game featuring Patrick Mahomes.

220
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 4: These teams. But to your points, Jo, you just talked about,

221
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 4: I don't know if I can see the Eagles as

222
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 4: as a top, you know, the top team in the NFL.

223
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 4: These teams are playing a different sport than everyone else.

224
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 4: That's the takeaway, Like this is it. This was the

225
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 4: title game. We'll see it again.

226
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: Probably. This was awesome.

227
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think the one thing too, when you're

228
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 2: saying playing the different sport, you can tell just immediately

229
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: when you watch the two minute offense, like and if

230
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 2: I was almost kind of like laughing to myself thinking,

231
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: like what they should do is just put these guys

232
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: seven on seven, just have like a best of five

233
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 2: series with just two minute drills, Like it would just

234
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: probably be the most watched thing, Like it would just

235
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: be so fun to watch with these guys. But the

236
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: big thing that I noticed was the pass rush, just

237
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: the Bills side of it, and how much of a

238
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: difference that made in comparison to the matchups when they

239
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: played last year. Mahomes got sacked four times. He was

240
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 2: only sacked four times and in both matchups last year

241
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: for example, and just the pressure rates were different as well.

242
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: So von Miller obviously making his presence, felt he got

243
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: two sacks. They were pretty much in his face all game.

244
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: And they also limited the Chiefs to like less than

245
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: one hundred yards on the run game as well, Like

246
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 2: you know, Clyde Edwards, Hilaire couldn't get it together. Isay

247
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: Pacheco maybe had a little bit of a run here

248
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: or there, but again he didn't really get anything going.

249
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 2: And yeah, like it was just kind of interesting to

250
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: me that the Bills rush attack essentially are rush defense.

251
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: They've held opponents now to less than one hundred yards

252
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: in five or six games, like their run defense. Probably,

253
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: I don't even have to say probably statistically they are

254
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: the best DV away they are the best. You don't

255
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: really have to disagree with me on that one. But

256
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 2: I will say this, Juju Smith Schuster, welcome back to

257
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 2: the NFL. You finally score a touchdown. He was entering

258
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 2: Week six, he had the third most targets amongst all

259
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: players without a touchdown. The other two were Chase Klaypool

260
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 2: and Deontay Johnson. Chase Claypoole was able to get his.

261
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: And one of the funny things I always found too,

262
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 2: just especially because I think people were reminiscing to that

263
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: AFC Divisional game, is that the Chiefs were plus two

264
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: thirty on the money line with a minute to go

265
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: and they had two timeouts. I thought saw so many

266
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: people post tickets from FanDuel and then Mahomes throws the

267
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 2: game ceiling interception to pretty much end that game.

268
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: The irony of Brandon's point was that Butcker still kicked

269
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 1: a sixty two yard field goal before the half, like

270
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: that still happened, which I like, for the Bills, You're like,

271
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: are you kidding me?

272
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 4: Like this again, like we just go and that that

273
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 4: little of the pass to Kelsey, that like the exact

274
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 4: same play from last time, just like the Sandlot throw

275
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 4: and the dive and the timeout. I'm like, oh man,

276
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 4: that has to be just a gut punch going a

277
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 4: halftime to give up that sequence for Bills fans just carbon.

278
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 3: Copy from a year ago.

279
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,719
Speaker 4: But yeah, I know, Joe, you talked about like that

280
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 4: the Bills had other changs. They didn't They didn't seem

281
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 4: to worry that they would get more chances here and Bretndon,

282
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 4: you said the defense showed you something. I don't disagree,

283
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 4: but both teams averaged over six yards of play.

284
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: We had yards of.

285
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 4: Offense, like the defenses showed us that they could keep

286
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: them on under ten yards of play. These offenses just

287
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 4: there's no answer when and you know these coaches save

288
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 4: their best too, that they saved their best play calls

289
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 4: and they bring their best here. I did notice after

290
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 4: the game. If you look like the overall stats, pretty

291
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 4: even the Bills on early downs were fantastic.

292
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: The Bills.

293
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 4: If you look at RBSDM and they kind of the

294
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 4: color green for success, curple if it's unsuccessful, and the

295
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 4: Bills early downs are just all green, dark green. Buffalo

296
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 4: got anything they wanted to on early downs. They didn't

297
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 4: do as well on late downs. The Chiefs were not

298
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 4: good on early downs. But Pat Mahomes, you remember those

299
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 4: third down plays, He'd scramble, you'd run, he'd keep it

300
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 4: alive and then zip some crazy pass. They had the

301
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 4: long Juju touchdown that was on a third down, kind

302
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 4: of a broken play. In the long run, early downs

303
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 4: is a lot more predictive. Third down is just Pat,

304
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 4: please do something and Pat's gonna please do a lot

305
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 4: of things for you, but so is Josh usually and

306
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 4: he didn't really in this game. To me, that tells

307
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 4: me when we see these teams play again, Buffalo was

308
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 4: the better team today and is the right winner. So

309
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 4: I have to feel good about their chances, especially because

310
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 4: they're probably playing in Buffalo next time.

311
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, some bend, but don't break the fence. But yeah,

312
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: yards per play a concern, and I think is a

313
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: better two. You found out today the Josh Allen rushing

314
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: total number is not always a slam dunk, because what

315
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: he proved today too was I can sit back make

316
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: my reads come from behind, which that's been a criticism

317
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: of this team, and now they've done twice against Baltimore

318
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. So they've quickly written that they've taken

319
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: that narrative, crubled up the paper and tossed it to

320
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: the side. They've against two legit opponents in their conference,

321
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: So big time stuff by the Bills. Moving on, we

322
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: mentioned the Giants earlier, the freaking speaking of the Ravens,

323
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: the freaking Ravens in the second half, the fourth quarter,

324
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: I mean second half generally, speaking with the Baltimore Ravens.

325
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: They absolutely blow it again. The Giants win this game

326
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty. They cover the five and a

327
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: half six points. Brandon, I know it was one of

328
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: your picks Baltimore this week. Infuriating, infuriating team in the

329
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: second half and the fourth quarter.

330
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, infuriating exactly the where this is the

331
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 4: third time we're six weeks into the season, third time

332
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 4: Baltimore has blown a ten point lead and lost the game.

333
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: And they almost had another one of those that they

334
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 4: ended up coming back and winning. If I recall so finally,

335
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 4: our London trends that we've been talking about, the post

336
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 4: London trend did not hit on this one. The team

337
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 4: total over for Baltimore, we did not hit that one.

338
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 4: It's the first one of the year. And man, this

339
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 4: Giant's team, they had no business winning this game. The

340
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 4: Ravens had one hundred and sixty eight more yards, but

341
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 4: they were one of three in the red zone. They

342
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 4: kept screwing up there. They had two late turnovers. We

343
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 4: talked before about Lamar Jackson as MVP as one of

344
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 4: those guys is he too much?

345
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: Is he too valuable?

346
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 4: And that late those late drives where I have to

347
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 4: do everything. I'm Lamar Jackson and I am this offense.

348
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 4: Let me go save this game. Oh no, it's getting away.

349
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 4: Oh no, I fumbled, I.

350
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: Picked it up. I forced a throw.

351
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: There's an interception, and I think he fumbled on the

352
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 4: next player two once they got it back as well.

353
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 4: Is it part of you know, part of the read

354
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 4: on this for me? We talked about those luck rankings

355
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 4: that we have up at Action Network. The Giants entered

356
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 4: the week number one in luck ranking. I'll tell you

357
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 4: right now that's going up somehow. Can they rank number

358
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 4: zero in luck ranking? Like the Ravens. Justin Tucker, the

359
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 4: Invincible dowinks the field goal, Mark Andrews drops a touchdown

360
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 4: in the end zone. Who has like some of the

361
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 4: surest hands in football. We had the Goofi Olamar turnovers.

362
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 4: Late Giants are five and one. They had two hundred

363
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 4: and thirty eight yards three eight point eight yards per play.

364
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: Hooray Giants. I can't wait to bet against this team,

365
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 3: but I don't.

366
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 4: Know if I can anymore because credit to Brian Dable,

367
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 4: they just hang around and they keep finding ways, and

368
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 4: you know, a win is a win.

369
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 3: The Giants are finding wins.

370
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: There is a theme to underdogs that covered today. We'll

371
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: get to that and you'll get the sense of that

372
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: as we continue. In this case, the Bengals, Jill were

373
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: road favorites. They were a heavily bet public team. Today

374
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 1: the bank are yes today. The Bengals were at the Saints.

375
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: They win thirty twenty six clutch touchdown. Jamar Chase at

376
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: the end makes a big move, races down the sideline

377
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: for the victory and the cover they cover the three

378
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: point spread. What stood out to you in this game

379
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: just the their ability to.

380
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: Be able to come from behind, like I mean, they

381
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: were down by double digits and then when Joe Burrow

382
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 2: just takes off like a gazelle, like he just that's

383
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: the best mobile I've ever seen from him in over

384
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 2: a year, where he just runs for this nineteen yard

385
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 2: touchdown where it's like the sea just parted for him.

386
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I knew they weren't going to lose, like

387
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 2: pretty much at that point. He was plus seven to

388
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: fifty to score a touchdown, by the way, too, and

389
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 2: that's his first touchdown of the season. I mean, I

390
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 2: thought the Saints they contained them pretty well in the

391
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: first half. But then I mean the Borough Chase connection

392
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: just kicked in a high year. It was seven catches

393
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: for one hundred and thirty two yards a sixty yard

394
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 2: broken tackle touchdown to pretty much seal the game. And

395
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: it really came down to the red zone. Like the

396
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 2: Saints they had their opportunities. They had four times they

397
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 2: were in side the Bengals twenty. They settled for field

398
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 2: goals like you're not going to be the highest powered

399
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 2: offense like that. The Bengals had three trips to the

400
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: red zone, they scored every time, and then they also

401
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 2: scored on a long run to Jamar Chase. So pretty

402
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 2: much that just determined the game. Is that what you

403
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: do in the red zone is going to be indicative

404
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: of how the outcome is, and the Saints just weren't

405
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 2: doing it.

406
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: That's something to look out for now. Joe Burrow rushing,

407
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: He's like, I had enough of this offensive line. I'm

408
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: just going to run for my life. And I guess

409
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: in some ways you got to have the room to run.

410
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: And that's been a problem of his not his fault,

411
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: the offensive line has been a huge concern. Brandon. Your vikings.

412
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: They are five and one, they are in contention in

413
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 1: that NFC, that is for sure. They defeat the Dolphins.

414
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: Vikings win twenty four to sixteen. They cover as three

415
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: point road favorites in Miami. How do you feel about

416
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota delivering and covering and they're in the next in

417
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: the NFC.

418
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 4: I gotta be honest and I gotta be fair. The Vikings,

419
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 4: the five and one Vikings might be more fraudulent than

420
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 4: New York Giants. I'm just gonna say it, because I

421
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 4: think that the Vikings were by far the worst team

422
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 4: in this game. So you mentioned the quarterback thing. Scaler

423
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 4: Thompson gets the start, the start, third string Scaler Thompson,

424
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 4: fourth string Teddy Bridgewater apparently was healthy enough to be

425
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 4: the backup but not the starter. But then Scaler Thompson

426
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 4: gets hurt, so Teddy comes in. Like you said, probably

427
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 4: some being careful with league rules sort of thing. Teddy

428
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 4: comes in relief for three hundred and twenty nine yards

429
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 4: and two scores. Tyreek Kill and Jayn Waddell have three

430
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 4: hundred and six yards of receiving between them. They lit

431
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 4: up this Vikings defense, who hasn't been able to stop

432
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 4: a nosebley lately.

433
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 3: And the Vikings offense.

434
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 4: I got all excited about Kevin O'Connell was supposed to

435
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 4: come in and get everything working for the offense. Miami's

436
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 4: defense not even very good, right. Vikings offense had two

437
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty four yards and eleven first downs in

438
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 4: this game. Miami had nearly double the yardage, and honestly,

439
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 4: I think the Dolphins were gonna steal this one. Vikings

440
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 4: are up sixteen to ten late, and we saw this

441
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 4: happen against the Bears.

442
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 3: The Vikings were way better.

443
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 4: They're way ahead, they're comfortable, and all of a sudden,

444
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 4: it's coming close late and the Vikings get bailed out

445
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 4: by this late fumble by Saint Brown and they get

446
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 4: the fumble luck. We know, fumble luck is basically fifty

447
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,199
Speaker 4: recover fumble save the game. Here we go, Vikings are

448
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 4: up six because of course they miss dexter point because

449
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 4: that's what they do, and the Dolphins are driving third down.

450
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 4: Janelatto picks up the third down big play, they're in

451
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 4: scoring territory, and then at the end of the play

452
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 4: he fumbles and the Vikings get it and Dalvin Cook

453
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 4: gets a long touchdown right after That's that. This is

454
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 4: a game that I had in my notes, this is

455
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 4: closer than it looked. Well, the Dolphins got a late touchdown,

456
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 4: so up being an eight point game anyway, still closer

457
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 4: than it looked like. The Vikings were not good in

458
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 4: this game, and I think we're gonna forget about it

459
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 4: because they're about to go in the bye week and

460
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 4: then we're gonna come back out and be like, oh man,

461
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 4: the Vikings five and one. Oh yeah, Kevin O'Connell coach

462
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 4: of the Year. Has not been the case so far.

463
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe as a fan. Now, My hope as a fan,

464
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 4: as you get to the by a week and you

465
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 4: have two weeks to say, okay, what's worked and what

466
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 4: hasn't to work, Let's get some coach effect into play here.

467
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 4: So that's the hope I think if you are a

468
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 4: vikingspen want to feel good about it. And again, five

469
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 4: wins is five wins. You take them anyway you get them.

470
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 4: But I don't think you can get too confident in

471
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 4: this team right now. The NFC is a weird, weird

472
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 4: place at this stage.

473
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: Third favorite in the NFC, the Vikings at plus six

474
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: fifty to come out of the conference.

475
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 3: Don't do it.

476
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: Doubt that's kind of yeah. I mean, that's yeah, it's

477
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: basically what you're getting at. Let's go to Jacksonville, Indianapolis.

478
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: The Colts now can score points. They were inspired by

479
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: their lack of efforts. It feels like from last Thursday

480
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: night against Denver they win thirty four to twenty seven.

481
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: They cover whatever you got one and a half two.

482
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: What do you make of this game?

483
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: Honestly, if Matt Ryan is impressured, he's going to look

484
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: like an MVP candidate. He wasn't sacked, no interceptions, three touchdowns,

485
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 2: three hundred and eighty yards. That's the Matt Ryan that

486
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 2: you can look like if you are getting good protection

487
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 2: and you're not making critical mistakes. And that's pretty much

488
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: what happened. And the Jaguars couldn't really get a passing

489
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: game going at all against this Colt secondary that surprisingly

490
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 2: is just steadily improved week over week. I have to

491
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 2: give them credit because that is the one phase of

492
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 2: their game last year that I did not think that

493
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 2: they were very competent at. And then this year they

494
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 2: signed Stefan Gidmore and they're able to pull that off.

495
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 2: Jamichael Hasty, though scores as a seventeen to one touchdown

496
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 2: score that was actually the biggest score of the day.

497
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence also scored twice, but could not really get

498
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: much going with his arm, only one hundred and eighty

499
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 2: passing yards. And that's pretty much what it came down to.

500
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: Was just that the Jaguars defense that pretty much frustrated

501
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: the Colts pressured him, made him throw three interceptions. If

502
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: you don't get into Matt Ryan's face, he's gonna look

503
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 2: like a competent quarterback.

504
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: Sets up the rematch of Colt's Titans that is coming

505
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: up this week. Titans are two and a half point

506
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: favorites at home. Okay, it's my favorite part of the podcast.

507
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: We dive into the frozen Pizza section of the NFL slate.

508
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 2: It's not delivery and it's not exactly pizza either.

509
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: It's almost pizza. It's very nearly pizza, but not quite pizza.

510
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 2: That's practically pizza in every way except for a few

511
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: key ones.

512
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: Come on, dig in, folks. These games sucked. There are

513
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: a lot of bad games today, but we all watched,

514
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: we all took in this product. We all took open

515
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: the oven and said we still need to eat something

516
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: to make our Sundays somewhat pleasant. Brandon Tampa. I'm concerned

517
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: about this Tampa team, and yet again they're double digit

518
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: favorites next week, granted against that god awful operation in

519
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: Carolina twenty to eighteen. Pittsburgh outright beats Tampa Bay. So

520
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,439
Speaker 1: of course, no worry. If you had Pittsburgh plus eight

521
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: and a half, nine even some tens out there, What

522
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: if anything do you take away from this game?

523
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 4: I mean, you gotta just take away another Raw Raw

524
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin underdog spot. You hear that on the Action

525
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 4: Network podcast all the time, and you hear for good reason,

526
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 4: because how are they in this game?

527
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 3: I backed off of it.

528
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 4: I even in my Saturday column I had picked Pittsburgh

529
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 4: plus eight and a half. The line moved toward my

530
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 4: favor gave me more points by Saturday, and I chickened

531
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 4: out because Pittsburgh was missing their top three cornerbacks of

532
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 4: this game, and Minka Fitzpatrick and don't forget TJ. Watt,

533
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 4: and then Canny Pickett goes out with the concussion and

534
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 4: they win anyways, because Mike Tomlin as an underdog Raw

535
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 4: Raw fourteen two and one as a home underdog against

536
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 4: the spread, and he has won seven straight outright in

537
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 4: that spot. I absolutely did not expect him to get

538
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 4: the win here. This was Tomlin's biggest home under dog

539
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 4: line ever. They just got the job done. The Bucks

540
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 4: settle for field goals all game. They missed a two

541
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 4: pointer late. I mean, honestly, kind of a fluky win.

542
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 4: But this is what Tomlin does at home as he

543
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 4: finds a way in these weird underdog spots.

544
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: You ain't no to this no more, now, you know

545
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: what I mean.

546
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 4: I'm not panicking just yet on the Bucks, but this

547
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 4: is a pretty ugly loss for sure.

548
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: With Mitchell Trubisky in the game at the end too,

549
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: and when pick it comes out, yeah, just wild and

550
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's losing his mind and his offensive line which

551
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: might look that stuff happens all the time. Folks with

552
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: just the cameras and the microphones caught him in the

553
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: moment again. But it only looks better when they win

554
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: when they but they didn't. That didn't happen today. The

555
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: Falcons another underdog that wins outright. They were five and

556
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: a half, four and a half that they get close

557
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: to four and a half underdogs today against San Francisco

558
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: and Jill like Marcus Mariota, the numbers are the numbers

559
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: do kind of lie. They do like he might be

560
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: in the comeback year comeback Player of the Year race,

561
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: but it probably shouldn't be.

562
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Sakua Barkley wasn't alive, then Mark Marcus Mariota

563
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: would be the favorite. But I mean, guys, I'm just

564
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: confused because I've been scratching my head on this for

565
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 2: a couple weeks. Now, is Marcus Mariota good?

566
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: Like?

567
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's good. I don't know if

568
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 2: I could take it away and just say he's good.

569
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 2: Because he had one hundred and twenty nine passing yards,

570
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 2: but he had two passing touchdowns. He was thirteen for

571
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: fourteen from the field. He actually missed his last pass

572
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 2: attempt and he rushed for a touchdown as well, So

573
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 2: pretty much controlled the game offensively. And Jimmy g obviously

574
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 2: two picks today. That's not going to do the many favors.

575
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: You can always kind of count on a dud from

576
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: him every couple of games, but you could really tell

577
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 2: that that pass rush for San Francisco. They really missed

578
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,360
Speaker 2: Nick Bosa today and Eric Armstead especially because how well,

579
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 2: the Falcons ran the ball. They only sacked Mariota twice.

580
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 2: They didn't really pressure him as much.

581
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's.

582
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 2: Pretty much my takeaway is that if you don't have

583
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: Nick Moosa out there and you can't pressure Marcus Mariota

584
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: will look like a competent quarterback too.

585
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: On the Packers and Brandon's got the Packers game. The Jets, well,

586
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: we should give the Jets some credit. The Jets are

587
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: four and two, They're in the mix. I thought, you know,

588
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: if Buffalo loses, the Jets are going to be tied

589
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: with the Bills atop the AFCAS and they've yet to

590
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: face each other, Like that's fun. But that didn't happen

591
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: because the Bills made a great play at the end.

592
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: As we already discussed, Jets win twenty seven to ten.

593
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 1: So one another dog wins out right. They were seven

594
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: and a half point underdogs. Evan's out there too, but

595
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: really no sweat here this pack and Brandall Cobb had

596
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: to leave the game that the Aaron Rodgers binky. I

597
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: know Tonyan was okay in the early part of the game. Brandon,

598
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: what I can't help but take away from another favorite

599
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: a team in Green Bay that just looks discombobulated.

600
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean this was the Frank Sinaprais stretch of

601
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 4: the Green Bay season New York, New York.

602
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 3: That's supposed to be two easy.

603
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 4: Wins for the Packers and then they lost both of

604
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 4: them straight up, So not good for the Packers. This

605
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 4: was a win for our post London trans green Bay

606
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 4: coming off of London Jets hit the team to over Jets,

607
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 4: just like the Ravens, even though the Ravens lost. Still

608
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 4: all nine teams now in those Sunday morning hangover games

609
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 4: the week after, the team opponent has been ahead or

610
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 4: tied in the fourth quarter. Obviously, the Jets were plenty

611
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 4: ahead and then some in this one.

612
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 3: So it's Matt.

613
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 4: Lafleur's first loss straight up. Organs to spread after a loss.

614
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 4: Normally he's been money in that spot. We'll see if

615
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 4: they get it back next week. The other thing here,

616
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 4: Bryce Hall, that running back for the Jets. He was

617
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 4: my offensive Workie of Year pick before the season. He's

618
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 4: looking good. One hundred and sixteen yards another touchdown. He

619
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 4: might be emerging, I think as a Rookie of the

620
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 4: Year leader, especially in New York in that market as well,

621
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 4: as the Jets are playing. I mean, we got nine

622
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 4: to three combined for New York New York Live it Up.

623
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: Kind of thought of this too, like what if Gino

624
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: Smith somehow gets back to the Jets, because that's the

625
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: only position I feel like icky about with them, there's

626
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. If they've done such a great job

627
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: drafting the last couple of years, the Jets have pieces

628
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: that they've got some pieces and they're starting to put

629
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: it together with Salo, which I thought by this point

630
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: in the year Sala could be like Matt Rohle on

631
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: his way out. He has ready the ship, he has

632
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: righted the ship, and the Jets are two games over

633
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: five hundred. Speaking of Gino Smith and the Seahawks and Brandon,

634
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you get thoughts in on this game too.

635
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: I will allow that Seahawks nineteen to nine winners, Jill,

636
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: they cover plus two and a half. Kingsbury goes for

637
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: it twice, like, dude, just take take the points, jackass,

638
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: Like it's just it's Bruto with this guy. Seahawks get there.

639
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: Gino wasn't as sharp as he was the previous week,

640
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: but the Seahawks that they're they're contending this NFC West

641
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: is a mess.

642
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: Jill.

643
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we talked about this last week when we

644
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 2: were saying the wrong team is favored because Cliff Kingsbury's

645
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 2: facing a Super Bowl coach, a normal trend that Brandon

646
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: has pointed out that is like clockwork every time. So

647
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: and really, the Cardinals like they were kind of only

648
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: really in this game from that weird defensive touchdown that happened,

649
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: like I watched it in real time and then I

650
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 2: looked at my phone looking at the box score. It

651
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: was like Michael Burton to banjo to back the banjo,

652
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: and I was like, wait a minute, how.

653
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: Did this happen?

654
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 2: So all I know is that the Cardinals just were

655
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 2: very inept offensively. But I think we might see a

656
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: little bit change next week with DeAndre Hopkins coming back.

657
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 3: You know, I think you know.

658
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: They're gonna right now their favorite by like minus one

659
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 2: and a half right now. I don't know if I

660
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 2: could see that on a short week, But I don't

661
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: think I'll ever trust a Cliff Kingsbury team as a

662
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: favorite ever again, Brandon, what are you thinking?

663
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 4: I mean, it is Block's Island, It is breezy, and

664
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 4: ball me out here on Seattle Island. I looked, I

665
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 4: looked in the closets if I got like a Hawaiian

666
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 4: shirt or something I was gonna come up for for

667
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 4: an island Joe, you got the island show. I was,

668
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 4: I gotta get some island wear for this from my

669
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 4: Seattle Island takes. If you had the look ahead from

670
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 4: last week, were already on Seattle against the Chargers next week.

671
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 4: If you haven't done that, hop on seven and a

672
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 4: half down to seven six and a half. It's look,

673
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 4: Seattle wasn't that great and this one, let's be honest.

674
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 4: My whole thing with Seattle is Gino Smith is cooking.

675
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 4: Seattle's offense is great. Sale's offense was not great, like

676
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 4: they settled for some field goals. They were a little

677
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 4: better than I looked. But their defense, their defense won

678
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 4: the game. The Cardinals scored nine points, and six of

679
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 4: that wasn't a blocked punt touchdown. So yeah, the takeaway

680
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 4: here is not that Brandon was right on Seattle. But

681
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 4: you know, feel free to take if you like to.

682
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 4: We're living on Seattle Island. The takeaway is, like you said, Joe,

683
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 4: Thursday night, Arizona plays already as a favorite. It should

684
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 4: be better because Hopkins is back. But I said this

685
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 4: to you guys offline. If Arizona comes out and lays

686
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 4: an egg four days later, two in a row in

687
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 4: a five day window, and then you have that nice

688
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 4: long kind of half by a week, you get the

689
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 4: ten days off. Leave you on a little cliff hangar here.

690
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 4: The man may want to be careful about whether he

691
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 4: gets to keep his job if he lets that happen.

692
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 3: So I've got my eye on for that one.

693
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: Nicely done.

694
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 3: That was very Thanks for the setup.

695
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: There you go. So a cliffhanger from the Island boy

696
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: Brandon Anderson right now with the Seahawks. Okay, there's a

697
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: pandemic now in New England because Zappi fever, folks, is

698
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: just it's really heating up. Yeah, I mean, please be

699
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: safe out there. Zappi fever is a thing. The Patriots

700
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: for three point underdogs in Cleveland and they win thirty

701
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: eight point fifteen. Unbelievable performance by Zappy through the air.

702
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: This is the thing. I'm I am. I don't think

703
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: mac Jones is starting against the Bears next week. I

704
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: just I don't see Belichick doing it. But the Patriots

705
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: look like a complete outfit. You see Bill smirking on

706
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: the sidelines, you know he's in a good mood. He

707
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: loves going back to Cleveland and shoving it in those fans'

708
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 1: faces going back now years. Ormandre Stevenson is also like

709
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: a legit threat on the ground. What do you pull

710
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: away from this game? Brandon?

711
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like New England.

712
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 4: Coming to this game, I got a little scared off

713
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 4: because a lot of sharp people were on Cleveland here.

714
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 3: This game kind of.

715
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 4: Played out as I expected, which is the Browns were

716
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 4: a great running team, and Bill Belichick was like, oh

717
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 4: are you are you well? What happens when I put

718
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 4: all my dudes in the box and then my old

719
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 4: friend Jacobe Brissett has to beat us instead?

720
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 3: And guess what? It didn't go very well for Cleveland.

721
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 3: Brissette was awful.

722
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 4: And even more, the plan worked because Cleveland Berry even

723
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 4: had rushing attempts, they just kept passing the ball, which

724
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 4: is precisely what Bill Belichick wants you to do. This

725
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 4: is a coaching win. I will say two weeks in

726
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 4: a row. Now the Pats won a monster score. They

727
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 4: were not as dominant as the monster score looked the

728
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 4: score rolled up late because again the opponent went aggressively

729
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 4: as they should and turned over some four thowns or

730
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 4: some like short field touchdowns and that sort of thing,

731
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 4: So be careful. Patriots are not the old Patriots. Bailey

732
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 4: Zappy is not necessarily Tom Brady's second coming just yet.

733
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 4: But you know, gotta feel pretty good if you're a

734
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 4: Patriots fan. I know that most listeners probably weren't exactly

735
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 4: dreaming of Brown's playoff hopes. I've been kind of eyeing

736
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 4: up for a while because they had this nice opening stretch.

737
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 4: We're done here, this is the nail on the coffee.

738
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 4: You can't lose this game. Cleveland has a brutal coming

739
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 4: stretch the next like five games.

740
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 3: So this is it for them.

741
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and seeing Bill playing a former quarterback of his

742
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: is that's another thing that made me think that this

743
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: is a big Bill spot here to coach him up.

744
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with mac Jones if he

745
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: is back next week, but he was questionable this week.

746
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 1: Last week he was doubtful, so we'll see what progression

747
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: they make there. If they go back to the kid

748
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,959
Speaker 1: and the FIVA continues, all right, Jill take us home

749
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: this game, Carolina defensive touchdown Matt Stafford throws pick. I'm like,

750
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: oh wow, the Rams, this is a real problem. They

751
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: are really in some trouble. But Cooper Cup's really good

752
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: and Stafford pulled them out of it and the Rams

753
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: in that window of frozen pizzas everybody. We do have

754
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: a team that covered a double digit spread. The Rams covered.

755
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: They won twenty four to ten.

756
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 2: I just think if you go to Christian McCaffrey, Jersey,

757
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 2: get ready to go to the NFL store and trade

758
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: it in because he's gonna get They ran him into

759
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 2: the ground today like they were like it was almost

760
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: kind of like malpractice in a way, like with how

761
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 2: much they were trailing, and they were still putting them

762
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 2: out there getting them and set them up in these

763
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 2: screen passes where he was just getting jammed. So for me,

764
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 2: I think he was basically just being auditioned like in

765
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: a trade to teams. That's really all I took away

766
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 2: from it.

767
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a mess. It's not great. So underdogs and

768
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: favorites they split the deck today. They go six and

769
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: six head to head. Underdogs still having a great year.

770
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: So the Giants Steelers, Falcons, Jets, Seahawks, Patriots, all six

771
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: dogs that covered. They all want outright today, So rip

772
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: to some of you in Survivor. Cinci and Indy also

773
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: went to overs today. They were the only two teams

774
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: left in the NFL that had been five and oh

775
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 1: to the Unders. Now every team has been part of

776
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: an over today, So there you go. I want to

777
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: shout out the Sunday six Pack. They went three and

778
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: three today. They had a moneyline parlay that hit Seahawks

779
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: and Patriots. Seahawks Island is not alone after all. And

780
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: our Action Pod from last Thursday three and five, you

781
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 1: got a pick though tomorrow from Dave Martinez on the Chargers.

782
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: So as a reminder, you can follow along on the

783
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: Action app by following our two accounts, Sunday six Pack

784
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: and Action Network NFL Picks. I bring it up because

785
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: now let's discuss Monday Night football. Chargers home four and

786
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: a half point favorites over on the FanDuel sportsbook totals

787
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: at forty five and a half. We get the Broncos

788
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: again on Monday Night. Don't turn this off. Please give

789
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: us a chance.

790
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 3: On a Denver Broncos.

791
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: Brandon, what is the what is the one or two

792
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: maybe a handful of betting angles you have on this game.

793
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 4: I hate to do it, but I'm leaning Broncos here,

794
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 4: and part of the reason is precisely because I hate

795
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 4: to do it. You don't want to bet on the Broncos.

796
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 4: I don't want to watch the Broncos. I don't want

797
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 4: my money on the Broncos. And I think that that

798
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 4: that's part of the reason you need to do it.

799
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 4: Because Denver is actually weirdly a little underrated right now.

800
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 4: Maybe the defense has been really good. They have a

801
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 4: top five DVA defense that is the best unit on

802
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,440
Speaker 4: this field, not the Chargers offense, certainly not the Broncos offense.

803
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 4: So I like Denver's pass defense to limit things. I'm

804
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 4: kind of betting on Joe Lombardi here. That's the Chargers

805
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator, and the man loves to just put his

806
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 4: Chargers in a hole on early downs over and over

807
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 4: and over again and force Herbert to just pull a

808
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 4: rabbit out of the hat on third down and he

809
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 4: gets a good defense like Denver, that's just not going

810
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 4: to be a good plan here. So I think it's

811
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 4: a pretty even match, to be honest. So I like

812
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 4: getting the points here. Eight of the last twelve games

813
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 4: in this rivalry have come down to a one score game,

814
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 4: so we're paring to get a I was to say

815
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 4: a good game, maybe not a good game, but a

816
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,479
Speaker 4: close game. Not all good games or now close games

817
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 4: are good. I mentioned the lock ratings earlier. This is

818
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 4: one where it stands out that Denver is the third

819
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 4: unluckiest team in our luck rankings metric versus the luckiest

820
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 4: for the Chargers. That's the biggest differential this week. That

821
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 4: means take the unlucky team here. And I think part

822
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 4: of it too is Denver is in a desperation spot.

823
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 4: There's a lot of trends here that like Denver Russell

824
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 4: Wilson sixty percent ATS after a loss, sixty five percent,

825
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 4: home prime time sixty seven percent. As a division underdog,

826
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 4: Chargers are four to one ats. Usually that is a

827
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 4: good thing to fade as well around this time of

828
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 4: the year. And then just the Chargers injury lest Joey Bosa,

829
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 4: j C. Jackson, Rashaan Slater, maybe Keenan Allen Herbert.

830
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 3: Is still hurt.

831
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 4: This just feels a little bit like a rebalancing act

832
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 4: a bit here. I think Denver hangs around. I think

833
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 4: they have a shot here. I hate to go against

834
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 4: Dane's pick, but I gotta like Denver spot here.

835
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: Lindsley the center downgraded to questionable this week. Allen Keenan

836
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: Allen is doubtful for this game. So Jill, I bring

837
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: those up because so many time touchdown possibilities. Do you

838
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: look what side? I mean, the Eckler is a heavy

839
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: favorite to score minus one forty, but anything else, I mean,

840
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 1: I know you like to take some long shots too

841
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: as part of your research and is part of part

842
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: of your data compiling what jumps out to you in

843
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: that category.

844
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 2: I think really the only one that would stand up

845
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,799
Speaker 2: from a Chargers standpoint if you were going to play

846
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: it is probably Justin Herbert around plus four forty at FanDuel.

847
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 2: He he did score against them last year. The Linsley

848
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 2: Park does worry me a little bit just not having

849
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 2: that center in that connection. So again, a lot of these.

850
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 2: The thing is, we just talked about having money on

851
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 2: the Broncos, So do you want to have money on

852
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 2: Broncos offensive players, then probably you're looking at Jerry Judy

853
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 2: at plus two thirty because it's pretty much splitting hairs

854
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 2: between him and Courtland Sutton when it comes to who's

855
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 2: going to get the targets this week, and Courtland Sutton's

856
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,399
Speaker 2: around like plus one seventy, whereas Judy's around plus two

857
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 2: to thirty. From a tight end standpoint, it's all over

858
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 2: the place. Salvert's like plus five hundred at big al

859
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,919
Speaker 2: is fourteen to one, which is a crazy odd swing

860
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 2: compared to where he was at the start of the season.

861
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 2: So I think with this game, honestly, I think you're

862
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 2: probably just going to want to look at Herbert, you know,

863
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 2: probably at plus four forty, Judy at plus two thirty,

864
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 2: and then of course you could look at the road

865
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 2: interception trend again. But I think people have already caught

866
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,879
Speaker 2: onto that because Russell Wilson is now the highest odds

867
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 2: I've ever seen him to throw an interception at minus

868
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 2: one p fifty right now at Vanduel to throw an interception,

869
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 2: but it has hit now in thirteen of eighteen primetime

870
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 2: games where the road quarterback has thrown an interception.

871
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, now, what is how many does he have

872
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 1: for the year, Russell Wilson.

873
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 2: I believe he would have three through two.

874
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: Last game right, four touchdowns, three picks for the season. Okay,

875
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 1: very good. There you go. There's your Monday night preview.

876
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: Before we wrap the show and remind you what we

877
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 1: have coming up with Action Network, let's take a quick

878
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: look at week seven. We're going to dust off the

879
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: old Payton here and kick off the Hot Red, Hot Rap,

880
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: Guys Rights ice Cream nineteen nineteen trade. So in this segment,

881
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: if you're new to the program, we're gonna look at

882
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,720
Speaker 1: a spread that we're targeting a week in advance. Because

883
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: there's always the possibility of a significant line shift. It's

884
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: more of analysis of Uh, it's not so much about

885
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: the matchup, but it's about the number, and we want

886
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: to make sure we're getting the best number possible. Brandon,

887
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: you've got one pick for us. What do you got

888
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 1: for the hot read this week?

889
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? I do.

890
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 4: We mentioned Seattle earlier against the Chargers. Still like that

891
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 4: one if you haven't done it yet. But for my

892
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 4: Hot Red, I'm just going to take the undefeated against

893
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 4: the spread, Atlanta Falcons catching six and a half points

894
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 4: on the road in Cincinnati. To me, this line just

895
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 4: reeks of outdated preseason expectations. We're still treating the Bengals

896
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 4: like a super Bowl team. They have not played like

897
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 4: one yet. We're still treating the Falcons like a garbage team.

898
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 4: They have not played like that yet either. The Falcons

899
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 4: are tied for the division lead at three and three,

900
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 4: and they are six and zero against the spread. And

901
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 4: Arthur Smith is making magic. We talked to you guys,

902
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 4: talked about Marcus Mariota earlier. I don't really care if

903
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 4: Marcus Mariot is good, because Arthur Smith is setting him

904
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 4: up so well to succeed. They're running the ball, they're

905
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 4: setting up the play action. I saw a graphic up

906
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 4: this week where if you remove play action and a

907
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 4: couple other kind of the gimmecky sort of things, and

908
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 4: who's the best quarterback out there? And it only ranked

909
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 4: thirty quarterbacks because one other quarterback was injured and Marcus

910
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 4: Mariota fell off the list because almost all of his

911
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 4: passes are coming on play action. Play action passes set

912
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 4: you up to succeed. Arthur Smith is using what ingredients

913
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 4: he has and making like I don't have the end

914
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 4: of my analogy a wonderful cake out of it. Like, look,

915
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 4: if you can play the Niners who had the best

916
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 4: defense in the league coming into the weekend and move

917
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 4: the ball that successfully on that team. Now, granted they

918
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 4: had some injuries, but so do the Bengals. The Bengals

919
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 4: are missing a really important player in this game.

920
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 3: DJ Reader.

921
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 4: He's the run stuffer, he's the guy up the middle,

922
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 4: and the Falcons are number two in DVA running the football.

923
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 4: So I think this is a great spot to take Atlanta,

924
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 4: establish that run early it's working for them, and then

925
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 4: open the play action. I think these teams, honestly are

926
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 4: pretty even teams, and I'm not even sure Cincinnati has

927
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 4: a great home field, so six and a half points

928
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 4: is wild to me. Normally that would be a weird

929
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 4: hot read spot because you wouldn't expect the line necessarily

930
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 4: to move away from us. You might even wait and

931
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 4: hope you get the seven. In this spot, it was

932
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 4: seven this morning the Falcons won. It's already dropping six

933
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 4: and a half. Six At some books, six is also.

934
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 3: A key number. I'm gonna grab it now. I like Atlanta.

935
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 4: If you like the money line, I feel pretty good

936
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 4: about that, and that's going to drop I think a

937
00:44:58,200 --> 00:44:58,919
Speaker 4: little bit as well.

938
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, folks are gonna find out, Oh the Falcons

939
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,959
Speaker 1: are undefeated against the spread this year. Like that that's

940
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: something too.

941
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gonna be a thing.

942
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 4: And I noticed as well, teams that are undefeated against

943
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 4: the spread week six or later. So today was a

944
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 4: week six when they are underdogs seven and four against

945
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 4: the spread and they have one outright four of the

946
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 4: last six, of course, including the Falcons today. So it's

947
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 4: a good spot for these sort of teams. They're still

948
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 4: not getting respect yet. Normally you'd think, okay, a team

949
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 4: that's undefeated against the spread is going to get a

950
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 4: lot of media attention and maybe that number is going

951
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 4: to bump up. Maybe that'll happen this week, maybe that

952
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 4: line will move in our favor here. But that's the

953
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 4: one to grab the six and a half right now.

954
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,320
