Speaker 1: here with what's going on since last we left this division.
Speaker 1: The Houston Texans added some wide receiver help, which they
Speaker 1: needed because Tank Dell. Unfortunately his career is in jeopardy.
Speaker 1: That's for sure. We have, of course, Stefan Diggs has
Speaker 1: moved on, and they've brought in Jayden Higgins via draft,
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk via free agency, and Jalen Nole via draft too.
Speaker 1: They traded Laramie Tunsel, the one good offensive lineman they had. Sure,
Speaker 1: why not. Look, the offensive line hasn't been good basically
Speaker 1: since C. J. Stroud got there, So Torell, I don't
Speaker 1: know at this point if we should be worried about
Speaker 1: it or not, because it's never been any good and
Speaker 1: yet they've still been a pretty good team. Stroud did
Speaker 1: regress a little bit in year two, but that was
Speaker 1: bound to happen. Sure, the offensive line was a big
Speaker 1: part of that, but they did have a fantastic winning
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So where the Houston Texans reloaded, restocked and
Speaker 1: ready for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: I mean, I would love to say a clear cut yes,
Speaker 2: but it's really just a yes because everybody else looks horrible.
Speaker 2: Like you understand, you know those group of people that
Speaker 2: just hang around with a bunch of people that bring
Speaker 2: them down.
Speaker 3: So that they look elevated. That's what the Houston sect
Speaker 3: since look like here. They look like the.
Speaker 2: Pretty chick that's standing around with a bunch of sixes,
Speaker 2: maybe some fives, and she's really only a seven point five,
Speaker 2: maybe that, but she looks like a ten, and the
Speaker 2: Texans look like a ten, even though the offensive line
Speaker 2: has so many question marks, so many question marks. Trent Brown,
Speaker 2: Cram Robinson coming in, but they traded Lambretzonsel, their best
Speaker 2: offensive lineman, and now there's question marks on all five positions.
Speaker 2: Like regardless, if they figure it out and if CJ.
Speaker 2: Stroud is able to move on into year three with
Speaker 2: playing behind a bad offensive line, I really do think
Speaker 2: that the rest of the division being this bad is
Speaker 2: really the only saving grace for the Texans.
Speaker 1: All Right. I love Jadon Higgins. I like Noel too.
Speaker 1: Jadan Nole is a nice player. I think that they
Speaker 1: did a good job of bringing in more help at
Speaker 1: wide receiver, but you need time to throw the football.
Speaker 1: That's still the thing that I'm shocked that they didn't
Speaker 1: do more this offseason to really improve the offensive line.
Speaker 1: I like the defense of the Texans. The head coach
Speaker 1: ericson what'd you make of their offseason?
Speaker 4: Well, they fired Bobby Slick, which I think was the
Speaker 4: right move to make, and they made an in team
Speaker 4: higher across the offensive line, someone that comes from Cool
Speaker 4: Popovic coming from the New England Patriots, so I think
Speaker 4: that or he has stems from the Nicle Patriots. Was
Speaker 4: the assistant offensive line coach last season. So I think
Speaker 4: there's really nowhere to go us but up when it
Speaker 4: comes to the offensive line, Like you guys outlined two
Speaker 4: years ago, it was they were all injured and that's
Speaker 4: why they were bad. Last year, they stayed healthy, but
Speaker 4: there was no creesiveness with it, so they were just bad.
Speaker 4: So yeah, for the worst offensive line again, well it's
Speaker 4: been the case the last two seasons and the Texans
Speaker 4: have won games and gone to the postseason and won
Speaker 4: the division. So I think that you guys kind of
Speaker 4: make a great point where this division is just really
Speaker 4: weak and they're the best team in a weak division
Speaker 4: and the defense is still really good. Yeah, like that's
Speaker 4: the thing that has kind of I think that's kind
Speaker 4: of what helped them last year overcome the offensive issues.
Speaker 4: Now I think that we should expect the defense kind
Speaker 4: of maybe take a step back, that won't be as
Speaker 4: good in terms of creating turnovers, creating pressure. But at
Speaker 4: the same time, I just think that schematically, Nick Hayley
Speaker 4: coming in as the offense ave coordinator coming from the Rams,
Speaker 4: again also stemming from the New England Patriots getting Sky's
Speaker 4: connection with Donte Karnakia like the offensive line king. So
Speaker 4: I think that that just even if the personnel doesn't
Speaker 4: look great, I think that's schematically it's going to be better.
Speaker 4: It's going to give Shrouds more time. Even though there's
Speaker 4: an average offensive line. I think it's going to do
Speaker 4: a lot to help them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, you still got Hunter, you still got Anderson,
Speaker 1: you got pass rush there. You know you got Stingley,
Speaker 1: you got you got a lot here.
Speaker 5: The CJ.
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson there came over last year. I still think
Speaker 1: that defense. I believe in them. The Jacksonville Jaguars another year,
Speaker 1: another head coach. That's how things go in Jacksonville. Usually
Speaker 1: Liam Cohene comes over from the offensive coordinator job in
Speaker 1: Tampa takes over for the Jacksonville Jaguars as their new
Speaker 1: head coach. They draft the two way player Travis Hunter,
Speaker 1: They draft bas Shell Tuton. Is that enough of a
Speaker 1: change to really change the stars for the Jaguars Andrew Erickson.
Speaker 1: Would you make of the Jags offseason?
Speaker 4: I think it was pretty positive in terms of who
Speaker 4: they added. Adding Travis Hunter kind of fixed two team
Speaker 4: needs they had. They needed another receiver and they really
Speaker 4: need to need a defensive back, so they got two
Speaker 4: positions with one player. So we'll see how things kind
Speaker 4: of shake out with him, especially when we get into
Speaker 4: our wild card bets. When it comes to Travis Hunter,
Speaker 4: I think it's just really you gotta have some action
Speaker 4: on Travis Hunter this season in some ways some form,
Speaker 4: because he's too fun of a player to not bet
Speaker 4: on him to do something great as a true unicorn
Speaker 4: in the NFL. But I think that bringing in Liam
Speaker 4: Cullen just like what he did with Baker Mayfield. But
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence, maybe he'll never live up to what he
Speaker 4: was supposed to be coming out of Clemson as a
Speaker 4: number one overall pick. But I mean, I can't say
Speaker 4: that he's ever really been put in a situation where
Speaker 4: it was a wheels up like this is the perfect
Speaker 4: spot for him to succeed. I think William Cohen showed
Speaker 4: last year with Baker Mayfield that hey, he can put
Speaker 4: players in positions to succeed, So I would expect them
Speaker 4: to be better than they were last year.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's down in in Liam Cone is
Speaker 1: a good offensive mind Terrelle. I'm just not sold in
Speaker 1: the fact that he's a good he's a head coach
Speaker 1: or ready for that sort of job. I'm not. I
Speaker 1: wasn't impressed with press conferences that he had. I wasn't
Speaker 1: impressed with some of the the layouts of what his
Speaker 1: plans were for the organization. I thought it was a
Speaker 1: surprising hire, to say the least, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: especially when you see guys like Brian Flores, you know,
Speaker 1: floating around who have head coaching experience, you know, great
Speaker 1: defensive background. You know, maybe you can you know, get
Speaker 1: you know tighter as an organization, maybe a little bit
Speaker 1: more discipline because discipline is kind of lacked in Jacksonville
Speaker 1: for many, many years. So what do you make of
Speaker 1: Cohen and when you make of the draft? Here? Took
Speaker 1: Touton's an exciting player, we know that. But Travis Hunter,
Speaker 1: can he withstand the season as a two way player?
Speaker 1: That's the big question.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and shout out to my guy to in former
Speaker 2: North Carolina A and c Aggie Aggie Pride. You know,
Speaker 2: I got to show a little bit love for my
Speaker 2: alma mater there. And there's a whole defensive side of
Speaker 2: ball that I haven't heard anybody talk about this entire offseason.
Speaker 2: And we're just gonna expect the Jags that have it
Speaker 2: figured out there, Like is there a legit plan? And
Speaker 2: I understand they took a few guys in the draft
Speaker 2: on defense and I help try to build out some
Speaker 2: depth there, but I just don't trust that they're going
Speaker 2: to be legit on the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 2: And then if Goldie Lots gets out there and starts
Speaker 2: turning the ball over crazy, I just don't know what's
Speaker 2: gonna happen. Like there's the wheels could fall off for Jacksonville,
Speaker 2: Jacksonville's pick near the top of the draft. It feels
Speaker 2: like every year the past five seasons. I just don't
Speaker 2: know how much more they have to give. And I
Speaker 2: think they did rush to Cohen higher.
Speaker 3: I don't don't. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I felt like I felt like there was more due
Speaker 2: diligence that could have been done. And I'm just very
Speaker 2: very interested to see what the changes are on the
Speaker 2: defensive side of the ball. Yes, you're a good offensive mind,
Speaker 2: but there's two sides of the ball here, and you've
Speaker 2: got to be able to play defense in NFL.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm skeptical, to say the least. The Indianapolis Colts.
Speaker 1: I'm also skeptical. Man. I had high hopes for the
Speaker 1: Colts last year. This was kind of my sleeper team
Speaker 1: that I will take in l on because I like
Speaker 1: Change Sichin as a as a football mind, and I
Speaker 1: still do. I think it's been in a weird situation
Speaker 1: here with Anthony Richardson. They brought in competition in the
Speaker 1: one Jane Daniel Jones, your old friend from the New
Speaker 1: York Giants there who worked in Minnesota for a short time,
Speaker 1: and now he is, I guess, competing for the number
Speaker 1: one job. If Richardson falters, if he gets hurt again,
Speaker 1: it's Daniel Jones. They drafted Tyler Warren. Charvari's Ward was
Speaker 1: brought in to help out a little bit at corner.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of the major moves. Like Warren is
Speaker 1: a huge talent out of Penn State. I think everybody
Speaker 1: thinks he can be a great player, but you know,
Speaker 1: you got to be as good as the guy throwing
Speaker 1: in the football. And that's been the problem here for
Speaker 1: this team the last two years. Who's throwing the football?
Speaker 1: How consistently and how's that working. We know the raw
Speaker 1: athleticism of Anthony Richardson Turell, we know what it is. However,
Speaker 1: we haven't seen him develop into a quarterback. I don't
Speaker 1: doubt the kids work ethic. I just doubt the amount
Speaker 1: of reps he's been able to get between college and
Speaker 1: the NFL. I kind of almost wish NFL Europe was
Speaker 1: a thing where he could go out there and play
Speaker 1: there for you know, a summer, and like figure things
Speaker 1: out and maybe come back and get some more reps.
Speaker 1: But that's the problem. It's like you're right into the
Speaker 1: fire again with Richardson. So is he gonna sink or
Speaker 1: is he gonna swim?
Speaker 3: This year?
Speaker 2: This is the rock in a hard place because you're
Speaker 2: deciding between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson, and you chose
Speaker 2: to make this decision to have to pick between the two,
Speaker 2: like you chose to put yourself in that situation. The
Speaker 2: Colts are a dumpster fire. I'm gonna just go ahead
Speaker 2: and say it. I have no idea what the Colts
Speaker 2: are gonna do because you have to give the ball
Speaker 2: to Richardson and you got it. At least see what
Speaker 2: you have there, because everybody knows what you have in
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones has been under different coaches, albeit
Speaker 2: he still played for the Giants. He's been under different coaches,
Speaker 2: He's been under different offensive schemes, and it has not translated.
Speaker 3: He's not good.
Speaker 2: And so if Anthony Richardson is not able to go
Speaker 2: in there and make that leap and you at least
Speaker 2: hey try by fire and play through them and see
Speaker 2: if it works that. If it doesn't work, then all right,
Speaker 2: we're gonna move on as a staff and figure something
Speaker 2: else out. That's gonna be what the Colts are gonna
Speaker 2: have to do this season. Are you gonna be ready
Speaker 2: to move on enough? And I don't think they are.
Speaker 2: I think that they're gonna take this and it's gonna
Speaker 2: be Richardson, Jones, Richardson Jones, richards and Jones, Richardson Jones
Speaker 2: all season and that's gonna kill the morale of the scene.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, it's it's trying to figure out like if
Speaker 1: you're setting the table Ericson, And you've got like this
Speaker 1: fine china and it's really elaborate and decorative, but it's
Speaker 1: super fragile, and you know, maybe it's not big enough
Speaker 1: for all the food you want to eat on it,
Speaker 1: and you're not sure if it's gonna hold up. And
Speaker 1: then there's Daniel Jones, who's the opposite of the Anthony
Speaker 1: Richards in China. It's that he is like the you know,
Speaker 1: the Dixie paper plate, like you kind of know what
Speaker 1: you're getting there, but you know that's kind of flimsy too,
Speaker 1: and you go to the cookout and you fill it
Speaker 1: up too much. Next thing you know, it's starting to
Speaker 1: flip over a little bit. It's not good. It's not
Speaker 1: the Dixie get you gotta get you to get you
Speaker 1: a second one, or you gotta get like the real
Speaker 1: good brand. So Dixie's like the good one. It's like
Speaker 1: the store brand paper plates at the cookout. That's kind
Speaker 1: of what I feel like you're doing with Daniel Jones.
Speaker 1: So Ericson, who plays more games at quarterback this year
Speaker 1: for the Colts? To me, that is the question that
Speaker 1: informs your wagering decisions.
Speaker 5: Man, that is a tough question to answer.
Speaker 4: Who's gonna play more games, because it could really depend
Speaker 4: on who stays healthiest because both these quarterbacks have dealt
Speaker 4: with a lot of injuries throughout their NFL careers. I
Speaker 4: think it's going to be I think it'd be close
Speaker 4: down to a split. I think would be eight for
Speaker 4: one guy and nine for the other guy, and maybe
Speaker 4: it's eight all in a row and then the other
Speaker 4: guy takes the second half of the season, or it's
Speaker 4: more of a flip flop like Trail kind of outlined.
Speaker 4: I just think with the Colts in general, they're a
Speaker 4: team that's going through an identity crisis. Where are we
Speaker 4: trying to build Richardson up as our franchise quarterback because
Speaker 4: he's still super young, and or we're trying to win
Speaker 4: games with Daniel Jones because the GM and head coach
Speaker 4: are on the hot seat. So you have these two
Speaker 4: conflicting things going at it. And that goes to the
Speaker 4: problem of having these two types of quarterbacks, because if
Speaker 4: the Colts win with Daniel Jones, at the end of
Speaker 4: the season, what are we winning? Okay, now you got
Speaker 4: to pay Daniel Jones, Like, oh, that's great, We're feeling
Speaker 4: to be fantastic firsus, Well, we should really get the
Speaker 4: best to look with Kennon Richardson, and then you lose
Speaker 4: all these games, but then the coach and GM get fired.
Speaker 4: So it's really hard. And to Trell's point about them
Speaker 4: being a dumpster fire. When I did their win lost projections,
Speaker 4: I was not kind to the Napolis Colts, thinking that
Speaker 4: this could be disastrous. The one thing I will say
Speaker 4: that works in their favor, and this is something that
Speaker 4: I kind of looked a little bit more deeply at
Speaker 4: as they're probably the one team in this division actually
Speaker 4: has a good offensive line that you can actually feel
Speaker 4: pretty confident in, so they were ranked fifth by PFF.
Speaker 4: They have two really good Star Wars players, specifically on
Speaker 4: the left side at left tackle left guard. So I mean,
Speaker 4: if the quarterbacks just feeding Jonathan Taylor and that's how
Speaker 4: they're winning games, then maybe you could see, Okay, maybe
Speaker 4: they make some noise, but I think I just leaned
Speaker 4: towards the ladder of I think that this is going
Speaker 4: to be probably more ugly than pretty at the end
Speaker 4: of the end of the season.
Speaker 1: Your responses, both of you to any question regarding the
Speaker 1: Colts both were met with long pauses, which should tell
Speaker 1: everybody if you're wagering, you should have a long pause
Speaker 1: before you wager on the Colts because it's unknown, because
Speaker 1: it's tough to invest in. This is look, this is
Speaker 1: real shows about investments. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: you want to invest in the Colts, you want to
Speaker 1: invest in the Ravens. You know what I'm saying. I
Speaker 1: think that's a question you got to ask yourself. And
Speaker 1: I don't want to invest in the Colts because I
Speaker 1: don't think there's enough value even to invest. Now, the
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, they're turning the keys over to the car
Speaker 1: to cam Ward number one overall pick in the draft,
Speaker 1: l like a omanor also coming in their wide receiver.
Speaker 1: They brought in Tyler Lockett this offseason. So the Titans
Speaker 1: trying to remake the offense, the will Lewis experiment hopefully
Speaker 1: is over Look. You got Pollard, you got Taj Spears ericson,
Speaker 1: you got some talent on the offensive side of the football.
Speaker 1: The defense, I think, you know, we have some questions
Speaker 1: about where they're going to be in terms of in
Speaker 1: terms of talent level and productivity. It's you know, still
Speaker 1: working their way into this new regime. From last we
Speaker 1: left them. So what do you make of the Titans
Speaker 1: offseason and the rookie taking over at QB and cam Ward?
Speaker 5: I think Kim Ward's kind of exciting.
Speaker 4: I think that he could be a player that could
Speaker 4: potentially win games for the Tennessee Titans, but I think
Speaker 4: they'd also be a player in somewhat of a Will
Speaker 4: Levis fashion, can also lose games for his teams with
Speaker 4: stupid turnovers, which we know Brian Callan was not a
Speaker 4: fan of. I think my issue with the Titans and
Speaker 4: not be able to back a okay first overall pick
Speaker 4: rookie quarterback.
Speaker 5: Does he have a CJ.
Speaker 4: Stroud type of impact that jayde Daniels have of impact
Speaker 4: in year one? Again talking about teams that go from
Speaker 4: fourth to first in their division, the Titans are one
Speaker 4: of those teams that you kind of have to at
Speaker 4: least consider because of how weak this division is overall.
Speaker 4: But it goes back to me with Brian Callahan and
Speaker 4: just how bad last year was. So do you guys
Speaker 4: remember what the.
Speaker 5: Titans record against the spread was last year for Brian Callen.
Speaker 3: I don't think it was only three. I think that
Speaker 3: only one three.
Speaker 4: They were two and fifteen. Oh it was two two
Speaker 4: and fifteen against the spread, including which was a win
Speaker 4: over the Patriots in overtime.
Speaker 1: And you know what, but turnovers will kill you, and
Speaker 1: there was a ton of turnovers last year with Leve
Speaker 1: was trying to force balls everywhere. It was no good.
Speaker 1: I mean, Terrell, Oh, go go ahead, I guess.
Speaker 4: To my point is the Titans, it was pretty clear
Speaker 4: that they were a dumpster fire last year and that
Speaker 4: was that was we knew about this every single week.
Speaker 5: His team is a dumpster fire.
Speaker 4: And they still couldn't cover the spread, Like they were
Speaker 4: unable to meet like ground level expectations, and they weren't
Speaker 4: able to meet those. So, yes, cam Ward is now there,
Speaker 4: but I just still don't know if Callahan has necessarily
Speaker 4: the you know, if he has the what it takes
Speaker 4: to be an NFL high coach.
Speaker 1: Look, Terrell, when you look at cam Ward, I think
Speaker 1: you see a guy who could be a future starter
Speaker 1: in the NFL. There's no doubt about that. I like
Speaker 1: the kid, like, I think he's serious, which I really like.
Speaker 1: He's very focused, you know, in a lot of ways,
Speaker 1: opposite personality of a Shador Sanders, which is I think
Speaker 1: why teams fell in love with cam Ward in the
Speaker 1: process and why they fell out of love with schanor
Speaker 1: Sanders in the process. So is it enough. I don't
Speaker 1: think so. On where ericson is. I just think the
Speaker 1: Titans are still gonna be a bottom feeder team in
Speaker 1: the NFL until further notice, because I think a lot
Speaker 1: more has to change besides just cam Ward.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think the Titans go as far as
Speaker 2: cam Ward can take them. So if cam Ward can
Speaker 2: adjust to the NFL really, really fast, then I think
Speaker 2: the Titans, you know, might actually end up being a
Speaker 2: good team. But my thing is, I don't expect to
Speaker 2: see a quick adjustment, and it's just because how cam
Speaker 2: wod plays football. Cam Ward and Will Levis actually are
Speaker 2: more similar than people want to give them credit for.
Speaker 2: And it's just that cam Ward is direct TV and
Speaker 2: Will Levis is basic Cable and cam Ward when he
Speaker 2: makes those hero ball making decisions and he tries to
Speaker 2: put the team on his back, more often than not
Speaker 2: he's come out on top and he's been able to
Speaker 2: get it done. But we see the moments where it's like, ooh,
Speaker 2: if you do that in NFL, that that might not
Speaker 2: be a good kid, that's gonna be a rough one
Speaker 2: and I think that's how the start of the season
Speaker 2: is gonna be. He's gonna have a bunch of those
Speaker 2: turnovers that you're going to look and be like, oh,
Speaker 2: is that Will Levis? Like they'll probably have the meme
Speaker 2: where the guy is cleaning his glasses and be like,
Speaker 2: is that Will Levis throwing that interception?
Speaker 1: Like that?
Speaker 2: But as the season goes on, I think cam Ward
Speaker 2: is going to grow as a talent. We seen him
Speaker 2: do it in college and cart net Word to Washington
Speaker 2: State to Miami like. He constantly grows and grows and
Speaker 2: grows and becomes a better player. So I think the
Speaker 2: NFL may catch him in the beginning, but towards the
Speaker 2: end of the season, cam Ward is going to have
Speaker 2: the sitean is looking a.
Speaker 1: Lot better, all right, Before we start to look at
Speaker 1: how to make some money in this division, don't forget
Speaker 1: about Novig. If you're looking for a smarter way to play.

Speaker 1: Houston Texans win total Terrell, we got five and a half,
Speaker 1: seven and a half, nine and a half on the board.
Speaker 1: I gotta say, you know, when you look at this
Speaker 1: division how weak it is. I think it's you know,
Speaker 1: the definitely over seven and a half, that's easy. That
Speaker 1: nine and a half is the question. Can they get
Speaker 1: over that? Can they be a ten win team? I
Speaker 1: think they can a plus money at nine and a half.
Speaker 1: I'll take a ten and seven Houston Texans team to
Speaker 1: win this division. I think that's all they need to do.
Speaker 1: What do you think, Trell I.
Speaker 2: Think the same thing, and is a lot better because
Speaker 2: towards the end of the season they have a little
Speaker 2: bit more of a cupcake schedule. A bunch of those
Speaker 2: home games are against teams that didn't make the playoffs
Speaker 2: last year. So I think that it actually breaks well
Speaker 2: for them to kind of, Hey, they may have their
Speaker 2: hiccups in the middle of the season, but once they
Speaker 2: kind of get that continuity in the offensive line figured out,
Speaker 2: and I know the defense is going to play well.
Speaker 2: I trust the defense that they'll be able to rack
Speaker 2: off some wins in the end of the season. So yes,
Speaker 2: I think they finish at ten wins. I like the
Speaker 2: overfoot sections.
Speaker 1: You know, because it's a bottom feed or division and
Speaker 1: it does seem very simple, you know, I don't want
Speaker 1: to take things for granted. At the same time, Ericson,
Speaker 1: I think you smash this. I think you smashed the
Speaker 1: nine and a half between playing the teams in our
Speaker 1: own division and some of the other games where you know,
Speaker 1: they played the Kansas City Chiefs again, they played them
Speaker 1: tough last year. You know, like this team shows up
Speaker 1: in big moments. They showed them in big moments against
Speaker 1: the Chargers where everybody was just writing them off and
Speaker 1: they kicked their ass. So I'm very impressed again with
Speaker 1: the head coach is always there. I like them for
Speaker 1: the over nine and a half. I think ten is
Speaker 1: the number and I feel comfortable plus money.
Speaker 5: What do you think, Andrew, Yeah, let's make it a
Speaker 5: clean sweep. Yeah, for the nine and a half. They've
Speaker 5: won ten games the last two seasons.
Speaker 4: Despite twenty twenty two or excuse twenty twenty three, it
Speaker 4: was the offensive line injury injuries. Last year it was
Speaker 4: a receiver injuries all over the place. So yeah, even
Speaker 4: if the defense maybe isn't top five, I just think
Speaker 4: with better injury luck on the offensive side of the football,
Speaker 4: that the combination with CJ Strout entering year three, Demiko Ryans,
Speaker 4: I think I've shown that he's a top ten NFL
Speaker 4: head coach, and he's getting the most out of his players.
Speaker 4: He's having them surpass expectations despite adversities when it comes
Speaker 4: to injuries, and he's putting his players in positions to succeed.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I like the Texans all right.
Speaker 1: The next one is Indiapolis Colts, and now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: like the under on the seven and a half here
Speaker 1: a plus one hundred. Excuse me, the under seven and
Speaker 1: a half at minus one twenty the overs plus one
Speaker 1: hundred for the Indianapolis Colts win total. I like the
Speaker 1: under minus won twenty seven and a half. The reason
Speaker 1: is they're gonna play the NFC West this year too,
Speaker 1: you know, so they got the Rams in there. The
Speaker 1: Colts have to play the Denver Broncos. Looking at this
Speaker 1: sheet here, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco forty nine ers.
Speaker 1: I think the Arizona Cardinals are capable of beating them.
Speaker 1: So really like, even if they if they struggle in
Speaker 1: the slightest against this division, I mean, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a long season for the Colts. So I think seven
Speaker 1: wins is about where you get. I think that's the
Speaker 1: high point for them. Andrew, what do you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I think I'm taking the under here.
Speaker 4: I don't think that either Trell or I voice a
Speaker 4: lot of confidence that you got to slam the over
Speaker 4: on the Indian of Us Colts.
Speaker 5: I just can't do it.
Speaker 4: With the variance that these two quarterbacks play with on
Speaker 4: any given down, it could be touchdown for their team
Speaker 4: or touchdown for the other team any given play, and
Speaker 4: that's just not something that I want to be betting
Speaker 4: on again. And talking about investments, and I think just
Speaker 4: with the Colts last year, and something that I remember
Speaker 4: writing the primer every single week when it came to
Speaker 4: the Colts, they played a lot of close games. All
Speaker 4: of their wins last year, of their eight wins came
Speaker 4: in one score games, and so they were eight and
Speaker 4: five overall in one score contest. So if that flips
Speaker 4: and now they're losing more of these one score games
Speaker 4: because they don't blow teams up, right, you're going down
Speaker 4: to the fourth quarter and the culture all right, maybe
Speaker 4: we can sneak out a win here. That's not a
Speaker 4: winning strategy, oh as you're the chiefs, of course, But
Speaker 4: for the Indian Ouplis Colts, I just don't think that's
Speaker 4: going to work out for them. So yeah, I think
Speaker 4: I'm going to go with the under as well.
Speaker 1: There's also no value in going over. It's not like
Speaker 1: they're giving you, oh it's plus three hundred for them
Speaker 1: to go over seven and a half wins, Like, there's
Speaker 1: no value. It's like, Okay, you want to roll the
Speaker 1: dice at Richardson figures it out, or Daniel Jones at
Speaker 1: a different spot, you know, maybe learn some things watching
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell run an offense, you know, and picked up
Speaker 1: some little tricks of the trade in Minnesota. There's no
Speaker 1: value on it, Torell. So I'm just gonna keep the simple.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just shade the under seven and a half
Speaker 1: minus one fifteen with that schedule.
Speaker 2: Yeah, none of these teams really give any confidence that, hey,
Speaker 2: the Colts can one hundred percent go win that game.
Speaker 2: Like even a game against the Raiders. No, I don't
Speaker 2: think they feel really good about beating the Raiders. The Cardinals.
Speaker 3: No, both of those games are at home.
Speaker 2: Like, I don't see a situation where I'm just like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: I think the Colts are really really good in that situation.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if Richardson or Jones is that quarterback
Speaker 2: they did not figure out the defense last year, and
Speaker 2: we'll see if they make strives to be better this year.
Speaker 2: But they were giving up a whole bunch of points.
Speaker 2: They would turned the ball over crazy, they were putting
Speaker 2: the defense in bad situations. I just don't think any
Speaker 2: of those group problems for the Colts are gonna change.
Speaker 2: This is an underladder. This is an underladder. You don't
Speaker 2: just take the under on the wins total. You take
Speaker 2: it as far as you can get, and then you
Speaker 2: just free roll the rest of the season and see
Speaker 2: how many wins they get.
Speaker 1: Well, you get the under five and a half a
Speaker 1: plus two to fifty on the Colts, the under three
Speaker 1: and a half wins a plus seven hundred, which again
Speaker 1: don't think that I don't think they're gonna be that bad.
Speaker 1: But the under five and plus two fifteen. Never know,
Speaker 1: maybe maybe you throw a unit on there just for
Speaker 1: s's and g's. The Jacksonville Jaguars, the numbers are three
Speaker 1: and a half, five and a half, seven and a half.
Speaker 1: This is another one to me too, where you look
Speaker 1: at the opening of this season, Terrell, they play the
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. Wh I don't think you're a pushover. I
Speaker 1: really don't. Then the Bengals, the Texans, the forty nine Ers,
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs, they play Seattle, and then they
Speaker 1: play the Rams, So there could possibly be one win here.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like it could be one win before
Speaker 1: they get to the buy in week eight. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be unbelievably hard to dig yourself out from under that.
Speaker 1: So again, seven and a half is the total here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go under minus one fifteen, That's where I'm going.
Speaker 1: And the Colts was at minus twenty, like you're paying
Speaker 1: a little bit of juice, but just feels a safe
Speaker 1: thing to me. Jacksonville Jaguars Torell Where is the win
Speaker 1: total for you?
Speaker 2: You don't make money betting overs in the Jacksonville Jaguars,
Speaker 2: Like that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: Unless it's ea money like that, in which case.
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, and then you probably got over maybe an
Speaker 2: over on interceptions prop maybe like maybe something like that.
Speaker 2: But no, you don't bet over in the win total
Speaker 2: in the Jacks and try to make money here. We're
Speaker 2: not going to break the wheel. The Jags have not
Speaker 2: taken enough strides. And as good as Travis Hunter is,
Speaker 2: I think that there's a lot of more issues that
Speaker 2: are wrong with the Jazz, and that's probably not Jags
Speaker 2: Jazz in the basketball realm with the Jags however, Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's problems with the Jazz too, by the way. But however,
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here saying all this, say Travis Hunter is
Speaker 2: a talent, it just doesn't feel like he's what they
Speaker 2: needed because now you're just overstimulated with offense defense, offense defense,
Speaker 2: and you might break your shiny new toy.
Speaker 3: Like I just don't know. I don't think he was
Speaker 3: the toy they need to go to the Jacks. Jags
Speaker 3: under for me Ericson.
Speaker 1: I know the schedule gets a little easier for the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: but when you're talking about a rookie head coach with
Speaker 1: a schedule that lines up like that in the first
Speaker 1: seven weeks, I think that's a bad combination. And one
Speaker 1: loss can learn to a lot of the loss that
Speaker 1: rolls into another loss and next thing you know, things
Speaker 1: getting ugly in Jacksonville already off the gate. And I
Speaker 1: don't want to be pessimistic here, it just feels like
Speaker 1: same old Jags to me.
Speaker 4: Well, I think that you're laying out the case for
Speaker 4: people to wait on betting on the Jaguars, betting on
Speaker 4: maybe a second half surge where their win total gets
Speaker 4: beaten down because they're losing all these games to start
Speaker 4: the year. So I know, when I did my projections,
Speaker 4: I had them going over at eight wins. So but
Speaker 4: that's also saying I'm not super confident that though this
Speaker 4: is an easy over. So I agree with the things
Speaker 4: that you guys have outlined. Defense I think is still
Speaker 4: really suspect, and that their defense was relatively healthy last
Speaker 4: year and it was still really really bad. So yeah,
Speaker 4: the offense maybe can take a step forward, but does
Speaker 4: that make up for the defense. The offensive line still
Speaker 4: isn't in a it's not leaked by any means. It's
Speaker 4: still probably a below average unit. So yeah, given the
Speaker 4: schedule to open the year, I agree with you guys,
Speaker 4: I think that I'm gonna have to make some adjustments,
Speaker 4: and I.
Speaker 1: Don't know if I'm sold. I think you're what you're
Speaker 1: saying is really logically sound, but I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'm sold on it. Because the opening of the schedule,
Speaker 1: two of the first seven games are on the road,
Speaker 1: then six of the next ten are on the road.
Speaker 1: So like they're playing at home a ton to start
Speaker 1: the year, only two of those games are road games,
Speaker 1: and then after that they are away a lot and
Speaker 1: the home games are tough. It's against the Chargers, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be against the Jets, who I don't think are
Speaker 1: gonna be a pushover there. Then they finish up eventually
Speaker 1: with the Titans there. They have the Titans twice in
Speaker 1: the schedule. But I don't know, man, Like I said,
Speaker 1: it just seems like the same old Jags to me.
Speaker 1: And you know, it's good that they're starting now at home,
Speaker 1: but if you start losing games at home, I don't
Speaker 1: know if all of a sudden the Jaguars become road
Speaker 1: warriors at some point. The Tennessee Titans. The numbers for
Speaker 1: them two and a half, three and a half, five
Speaker 1: and a half, under, five and a half wins at
Speaker 1: plus money. Yes, please, I would like to take that
Speaker 1: one please plus one ten. Thank you very much. See
Speaker 1: that's it, that's easy. I'm gonna walk away from this
Speaker 1: one a winner. Andrew Rickson, how about you?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just I will bet on the Texans as
Speaker 4: the team that's going to win games and probably fade
Speaker 4: most of the other ones except for maybe a long
Speaker 4: shot division bet as we'll get into.
Speaker 1: Okay, now, if you want to go into the three
Speaker 1: and a half to roll again plus three sixty, that's
Speaker 1: very enticing if you think that they're a bottom feeder team,
Speaker 1: which they very well might be. I think the Saints
Speaker 1: are in that discussion. The Titans are going to be
Speaker 1: in that discussion again. So are you feeling lucky or
Speaker 1: you want to play it safe when it comes to
Speaker 1: the Titans in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 3: Give me the over five and a half wins?
Speaker 1: Actually really six wins. I mean I'm not asking I'm
Speaker 1: not asking for sen wins here.
Speaker 3: I need six wins.
Speaker 2: Yes, And if you look at their last six games,
Speaker 2: they have games against the Jags twice, the Saints, and
Speaker 2: the Browns.
Speaker 1: I feel pretty all right about that.
Speaker 2: In that sweet spot of where I think that cam
Speaker 2: Ward is going to be developed as a quarterback, I
Speaker 2: think it's going to be really early for the ugly
Speaker 2: for them early on. But then as he starts going,
Speaker 2: he's going to start developing better. Maybe the defense is
Speaker 2: playing better, maybe he's not turning the ball over and
Speaker 2: giving the other team the ball. Inside the twenty like,
Speaker 2: I think that that's going to be a lot better
Speaker 2: for them, So Tennessee, maybe it's a slow burn. Maybe
Speaker 2: this is something that I wait and place actually live
Speaker 2: where I can get a three and a half wins
Speaker 2: total or something like that. But five and a half wins,
Speaker 2: I actually do think there'll be a six win team.
Speaker 2: A six win team is still bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah they are still bad. But I'm abouck over five
Speaker 1: and a half wins at minus one thirty, Oh thank you.
Speaker 1: I'll take the plus money at five and a half.
Speaker 1: I'll take the temptation. I don't think the Titans have
Speaker 1: changed their stripes that much in one year. Although they
Speaker 1: might cover more games winning, that's a different story. Let's
Speaker 1: take a look at the winner of this division.
Speaker 6: Here.
Speaker 1: The Houston Texans still plus money right now plus one ten,
Speaker 1: the Jags at plus three hundred, Colts at three ten,
Speaker 1: and the Santay Signs at plus seven fifty. Should we
Speaker 1: all just say it together at the same time? One
Speaker 1: two three the Texas Andrew, Okay, you're a little late there.
Speaker 4: Do try from me, even try because this is the
Speaker 4: same value you're getting for the Texans to win for
Speaker 4: nine and a half games, right it's exact same odds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so wins win the divisions boom.
Speaker 4: Done exactly, but you can bet them to win the
Speaker 4: win total, and then you can take a long shot
Speaker 4: on the Tennessee Titans at plus seven to fifty. I
Speaker 4: think that this is a good value for this type
Speaker 4: of team. Again, we talk about this is the worst
Speaker 4: division in football, so why can't a rookie quarterback go
Speaker 4: from worse to first? We see this every year except
Speaker 4: for last year. So there are four teams that I
Speaker 4: think that fit into this category. It's the Titans, Patriots,
Speaker 4: forty nine Ers, and Bears. You guys were not with
Speaker 4: me with the Bears, so we know that's not account.
Speaker 4: You guys think the Patriots cannot sit the Bills.
Speaker 2: I don't want to sees the early show that we
Speaker 2: haven't done already, but I think the Patriots are.
Speaker 1: Going to be Unseting the Bills I think is tough,
Speaker 1: especially because the Bills don't have a tough schedule this year.
Speaker 4: Okay, So then it's the forty nine ers, so I
Speaker 4: think are already favored to win their division.
Speaker 5: So I guess maybe that's the layup.
Speaker 4: But if there's a surprise team like why not the
Speaker 4: Titans to win the division and they tie with the Texans,
Speaker 4: but they both win ten games because cam Ward is
Speaker 4: the prince that was promised.
Speaker 3: So I think plus seven to fifty.
Speaker 5: I think that this is the value.
Speaker 1: Cool story, bro not right.
Speaker 3: Great.
Speaker 1: I'm returning that story right back to the library. I'm
Speaker 1: not even going inside the library. I'm putting it in
Speaker 1: the drop outside, you know, opening the handle, even this
Speaker 1: summer when it's hot and you put your hand on
Speaker 1: that silver handle and it's like a thousand degrees and
Speaker 1: I'm putting that book back in. That's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: But it's fun story. It was a good I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it.
Speaker 5: I mean one of these teams is going to finish
Speaker 5: in first. I finished last. You guys are laughing to
Speaker 5: me for every single one.
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no, you no, I get you right.
Speaker 1: Look the problem.
Speaker 5: I think the Texans the Titans.
Speaker 3: It's a good pick.
Speaker 2: I think Titans is a good pick in terms of
Speaker 2: because I'm the same way with you. I think cam
Speaker 2: Ward by the end of the season is probably going
Speaker 2: to go on a run. And if you're telling me
Speaker 2: that there's a world of possibility where some eight and
Speaker 2: nine team won this division.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 4: It also takes one blown block on the Texans worst
Speaker 4: offensive line and CEJ starkn mis a bunch of games
Speaker 4: and then this division's up for grabs.
Speaker 1: That's so. But you could say that about the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 5: Too, You're not kidding.
Speaker 4: But that's why the Titans are the best value because
Speaker 4: it's plus seven to fifty, like most of the other
Speaker 4: teams are not anywhere near this long.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna sell me on a team figuring it out,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be the team that's got a pretty good
Speaker 1: offensive line and a team that with a quarterback that
Speaker 1: is a freak of nature athletically figuring it out, like
Speaker 1: if Anthony Richardson figures it out.
Speaker 5: That's that's the you want to take the Colts over
Speaker 5: the Titans.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm taking the Colts over the Titans if
Speaker 1: if you if my hand was forced to the raging
Speaker 1: hot silver of the book deposit drop, if I had
Speaker 1: to pick somebody, yeah, I'll pick the Colts as the
Speaker 1: long shot here over the Titans because Richardson's a guy
Speaker 1: that could I mean Richardson's a problem. You know, a
Speaker 1: guy who can flick the ball down the field seven
Speaker 1: five yards and a guy that is that big, that's
Speaker 1: wrong that fast. If the raw tools ever get figured out,
Speaker 1: that's the problem in this division. It's not a rookie
Speaker 1: cam Ward, you know, slowly slugging away. And Shane Steichen's
Speaker 1: a very good football coach, much better than Callahan. So
Speaker 1: you know, you can go back to the Patriots too.
Speaker 1: The Bills schedule is not only easier, but even tho
Speaker 1: when they have the tough games, all the tough games
Speaker 1: are in their building, which I think is a huge
Speaker 1: advantage for Buffalo. So I just want to point that
Speaker 1: out in terms of their schedule.
Speaker 4: It's tough to envision the Patriots must Josh Allen misses
Speaker 4: games or something like that.
Speaker 5: It's really hard anything like the Patriots. But I will
Speaker 5: say no on the Titans.
Speaker 4: Wait to bet on them after Week one because they're
Speaker 4: playing at Denver and they're probably gonna get killed.
Speaker 5: So you got you got, you got all the Titans
Speaker 5: bets still after.
Speaker 1: Week I did you like to play that defense week
Speaker 1: one as a rookie.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be the CJ.
Speaker 4: Stroud Baltimore Ravens where he played in Baltimore as a
Speaker 4: rookie in his first game, and he didn't look terrible,
Speaker 4: but the scoreboards the other one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, let's get to some of our favorite
Speaker 1: bets for this division. Some wild cards are gonna throw
Speaker 1: in here. I'm keeping it a little simple here. I
Speaker 1: do have a special though, Brian Thomas a regular season
Speaker 1: total receiving yards. I'm taking the over eleven fifty and
Speaker 1: a half at minus one fourteen. This is such a gimme.
Speaker 1: I can't again, I just I don't. I don't understand
Speaker 1: where this is where my mind doesn't compute very well.
Speaker 1: Did we not watch what Brian Thomas did last year?
Speaker 1: Just because Travis Hunter's there, does not mean that Brian
Speaker 1: Thomas can't repeat basically what he did last season, if
Speaker 1: not exceeded in his second season. So, especially with Liam
Speaker 1: cohneair offensively just tweaking things a little bit, I think
Speaker 1: this is a smashover. I think he gets a thirteen
Speaker 1: hundred this year, so this is not close for me.
Speaker 1: And then a FanDuel's special here the Titans to win
Speaker 1: more than five and a half games and the Patriots
Speaker 1: to win more than seven and a half games at
Speaker 1: plus one ninety five. Now this is interesting because if
Speaker 1: you can get the Titans to six, I'm very confident
Speaker 1: the Patriots are gonna go well over seven and a half.
Speaker 5: Don't the Patriots play the Titans?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Did he just get at me for having a Titans
Speaker 3: win sod Over? I did.
Speaker 1: But if I'm gonna do the Titans win total, I'm
Speaker 1: not taking minus money. I'm gonna pair it with something
Speaker 1: else to get me to plus money that I think
Speaker 1: is a lock, which is a Patriots at least eight wins.
Speaker 1: So seven and a half on the Patriots and then
Speaker 1: five and a half. Can he get the six? Maybe
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the greatest bet, but if I'm
Speaker 1: going to bet the Titans, I'm gonna do it responsibly
Speaker 1: by getting into plus money and not taking that minus
Speaker 1: that Terrell want you want you to take? You you
Speaker 1: want me to But I'm parlaying it with something that is, uh,
Speaker 1: I think a lock. So there you go. So no
Speaker 1: minus one thirty for me on the Titan six wins.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Titan six wins. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: it along with the Patriots seven and a half over.
Speaker 1: So let's turn it over to you, Terrell. What are
Speaker 1: your special bets here when you're looking at the twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five a FC South Division.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm gonna just go ahead and add another one
Speaker 2: to the car, just to see the steam come out
Speaker 2: of your ear. Give me a small a small point
Speaker 2: to sprinkle on the Titans to win the division here,
Speaker 2: thank you?
Speaker 3: Ericson? All right?
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, Ericson and I are holding hands on the
Speaker 2: Texans as well. I would really just want to make
Speaker 2: this bet because if Texas don't get the ten wins
Speaker 2: in this division, I would just like to say, Wow,
Speaker 2: the Texans is just gonna be able to textan like
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: But this is a bad division. You should be able
Speaker 3: to get the ten wins, all right, the Colts under,
Speaker 3: Colts under, and just.
Speaker 2: Go ahead and say keep wherever they let yep, okay, wherever, wherever,
Speaker 2: wherever you take the underwin soldal ladder, go all the
Speaker 2: way down plus seven hundred and three and a half
Speaker 2: and have a day. Just have a day, because I'm
Speaker 2: telling you that's the only thing that's going to make
Speaker 2: you interested in watching colts football for the entirety of
Speaker 2: the season is having an under on the win soldal Ladder.
Speaker 1: I don't think that mak O Ryans allows that team
Speaker 1: to fall below ten wins. They're a double digit win team,
Speaker 1: I think with that defense, I really do. And Shroud
Speaker 1: is a good leader, good quarterback. Hopefully you can figure
Speaker 1: out the offensive line. You can get them to work
Speaker 1: well as a unit, even if you don't have the
Speaker 1: talent to do it all right, Ericson, take us through
Speaker 1: your favorite AFC South wagers for the year.
Speaker 4: YEP, going to go with the Texans over nine and
Speaker 4: a half wins at plus one ten, sprinkling the Titans
Speaker 4: and win the division at plus seven to fifty. And
Speaker 4: I think that I've been convinced that I like their
Speaker 4: over on their win total to them, So I'm gonna
Speaker 4: go over on Titans five and a half wins. And
Speaker 4: then for my fun bet that I teased earlier when
Speaker 4: it comes to Travis Hunter, because I can't make my
Speaker 4: mind when it comes to win losses with the Jacksonville Jaguars,
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go with Travis Hunter twelve to one
Speaker 4: to win Defensive Rookie of the Year. And my rationale
Speaker 4: behind it is we still don't know what he's going
Speaker 4: to be doing. I know that the recent reports are
Speaker 4: that they're putting him more on offense because they feel
Speaker 4: more comfortable with him at defense. So I'm taking I'm
Speaker 4: zooming out a little bit, and I think that his
Speaker 4: deployment is going to be game plan specific, I think,
Speaker 4: and depending on who else is available for the Jacksonville
Speaker 4: Jaguars defense. So I mentioned earlier that the Jaguars defense
Speaker 4: last year was the fifth health fifth healthiest in the
Speaker 4: NFL in terms of adjusted games loss. So if they
Speaker 4: have more defensive injuries, what are they gonna do. Oh,
Speaker 4: we're gonna have to play Travis Hunter more on defense.
Speaker 4: And when you look at their secondary last year, again
Speaker 4: a lot of the most passing yards in the NFL
Speaker 4: last year. So if they improve on defense, you know
Speaker 4: who's gonna get a lot of credit for that, mister Travis.
Speaker 5: Hunter, number two overall pick. And when you look at what.
Speaker 4: That defense did last year in terms of just giving
Speaker 4: up the yardage. So they had just six interceptions last season,
Speaker 4: that was the third lowest interception rate despite ranking eleventh
Speaker 4: and passes defended, and they were one of two teams,
Speaker 4: the other being the Patriots to at least seventy two
Speaker 4: passes defended without getting double digit interceptions. They also rank
Speaker 4: thirtieth in opponent fumbles. This is my long way of saying,
Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars defense is going to generate a lot
Speaker 4: more turnovers just based on the numbers, and who would
Speaker 4: be my bet to cash are in a lot of
Speaker 4: those turnovers. It would be Travis Hunter, the ballhawk who
Speaker 4: could also play wide receiver, who was also playing defensive back.
Speaker 4: Because that's how you have to win defensive rook of
Speaker 4: the Year. You have to generate counting stats like interceptions,
Speaker 4: like pick sixes. So that's kind of my sell for
Speaker 4: Travis Hunter. I think that he's going to make big
Speaker 4: plays on defense. He's going to get credit for the
Speaker 4: defensive improvements in Jacksonville, and whatever else he does on offense.
Speaker 4: Is this going to be cake or it's going to
Speaker 4: be you know, layered onto the analysis of the voter's
Speaker 4: minds of Oh, he's doing this on defense and he's
Speaker 4: also playing offense. I think voters are going to trying
Speaker 4: to find a way to vote for Travis Hunter in
Speaker 4: any way they can. I think it's going to to
Speaker 4: be on the defensive side, not necessary offense.
