1 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: It is Week three of the NFL. 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 2: Boys and girls, How are you welcome into another early 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:13,160 Speaker 2: NFL Best Bets, Early Bets and survivor picks. He's Pat Fitzmorris. 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 2: I'm Matt Perolton. We roll another week, Pat, Oh my gosh. Carnage, injuries, quarterbacks, 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 2: problems everywhere. Week three is going to be a treacherous one. 6 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:24,159 Speaker 2: How did week two go for you? 7 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: Overall? 8 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 3: You know, it went pretty well, Matt. 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 4: The big bet was Lions over Bears, and that was 10 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 4: kind of a no sweat game, and I think the picks, 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,599 Speaker 4: my picks here. 12 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 3: Were three and one. Last week. 13 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 4: The myss was a big miss. Though I liked Cowboys 14 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 4: Giants under. We did not get in under in that game. 15 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: Nope, they're still scoring in that game. Yep. 16 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: That was yeah, one of those. I did well on Sunday, 17 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 2: did horrible on Monday. I was within the Lions. I 18 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: laid that the Bengals were sort of my lucky play 19 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: of the week with the injury to Joe Burrow, which 20 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 2: we'll talk about here in a little bit, how that 21 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 2: impacts the Bengals going forward, but they were able to cover. 22 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: Browning came in and did a really nice job, and 23 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 2: they won the game and covered the three, so it 24 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 2: was overall good Sunday Monday was a disaster for me 25 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 2: on the Raider game. 26 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: I thought the Raiders were going to play much better. 27 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: Gino Smith was horrific in the home opener, with three 28 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 2: extremely costly interceptions, including on the first play of the game, 29 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 2: which made no sense about the way he was playing yesterday. 30 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 2: That was one of the worst games I've seen Gino 31 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: Smith play. And then I was really surprised. I liked 32 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: Tampa a lot, but I was surprised as to some 33 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 2: of the overall decisions that were made in the first 34 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: game with the Texans. I don't know what direction that 35 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: team is going to go in, but they have not 36 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: started the way they used to, at least offensively. And 37 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: I know Tank Dell being out and whatnot has really 38 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: limited that offense in that passing attack. 39 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: But c J. Stroud has really regressed. 40 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: Quickly from a guy that we thought was going to 41 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 2: be an elite quarterback in this league. And wow, a 42 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: different situation going on in Houston right now. 43 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's under so much fire man that offensive line. 44 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 4: I really think it's the worst offensive line in the league. 45 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 4: And like they were holding up for about oh a 46 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 4: drive or two and then things started to fall apart. 47 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, they'll b are quite fast for that 48 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 2: Texans team. So all right, onto week three we go 49 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: as a whole, you know, when we're approaching this and 50 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 2: whether it be from a fantasy standpoint or from a 51 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 2: DFS standpoint or a betting standpoint, for you, when you 52 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 2: see this many starting quarterbacks who are not going to 53 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: be playing for their teams, what does this do to 54 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: you in terms of how willing you are to get 55 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: involved with games involving backups. 56 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I'm getting very involved in one of them, Matt, 57 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 4: and we'll talk about that. I've got kind of an 58 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 4: angle on that where I feel a little bit, well 59 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 4: much better about one team replacing its quarterback than the 60 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 4: other team, where you know, I think it's. 61 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 3: A big. 62 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 4: Life change for one team and not so much for 63 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 4: the other. So yeah, it all kind of depends. I know, 64 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 4: like I'm not touching the Washington right right now until 65 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 4: we have more clarity on Jade Daniels status. He's got 66 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 4: a knee injury and is considered questionable as we record 67 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 4: this on Tuesday morning, So I think that has to 68 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 4: be a stay away right now. 69 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, the number would tell you that he's not playing. 70 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: Just looking at the crash opened a five and a 71 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 2: half or down to three for the Commanders. Now, So 72 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 2: if you're looking at the betting numbers as to what 73 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: the betting markets are expecting, they're expecting Jade Daniels to 74 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 2: not play in that game with the spring knee. And 75 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 2: if you hear listen to the rumor mill, he's being 76 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: told he should not play. And yet it's kind of 77 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: like similar to Joe Burrow where he was being told 78 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: to have surgery even though he didn't want to have surgery. 79 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: He was you know, the recommendation was, Hey, you need 80 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: to go and get this done. Maybe the same thing 81 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 2: here with Jade Daniels. You don't need to play in 82 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 2: this game. We need you available in December. We don't 83 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: need to worry about a game in September against a 84 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: team from the AFC West. So I'll be very curious, 85 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 2: at least from a book perspective, the pros are thinking 86 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: that he is not He is not playing, But for me, 87 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: what makes it difficult? Prop bets go out the window, 88 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: like I shrink or don't bet props at all in 89 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: games involving backups, unless I think that there's an angle 90 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 2: from a running perspective if one quarterback wants to run 91 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 2: more than another. But like Jake Browning came in for 92 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 2: the Bengals and really performed well. And I'll be curious 93 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 2: what the book's going to put up from a prop perspective, 94 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: because he's throwing to such an incredible group of receivers 95 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: that you know, he looked the part. He didn't look 96 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 2: like Joe Burrow, but he looked like a competent quarterback 97 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: in the NFL. So for those levels, But like with 98 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy being out, and there's just a lot of 99 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 2: offenses that I'm not sold that are going to be there. 100 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 2: And let me ask you this, if you were a 101 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 2: team that needs a quarterback that has an injury that 102 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 2: could be for you know, a significant amount of time, 103 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: how is Kirk Cousins not being talked. 104 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 1: About right now? If you're a GM or an owner. 105 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 2: Or front office, how are you not looking at the 106 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 2: Falcons trying to get Kirk Cousins away from them? 107 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, you would think he would be appealing because the 108 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 4: Falcons have clearly committed to Michael Pennix Junior. 109 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 3: So yeah, I. 110 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 4: Would think if you lossome the Bengals might be a 111 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 4: different case though, because we've already seen Jake Browning make 112 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 4: an extended, you know, substitute stance for Joe Burrow and 113 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 4: performed reasonably well. But yeah, for some of these other 114 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 4: teams facing well, if you were facing a long term 115 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 4: advant Kirk Cousins back to Washington when that'd be an 116 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 4: interesting story. 117 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: Angle, Wow, how about that? 118 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 2: I see the contract is part of the problem for 119 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins, and I understand that. But man alive, I 120 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 2: mean that guy right now. If not him, I mean, 121 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: why don't you go and talk to the Giants about 122 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: Jamis Winston, Like, how is he still not on a 123 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: roster somewhere at least getting a crack to start and 124 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: putting him with the Bengals would be wild. I mean, 125 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 2: he may throw for five hundred five touchdowns and five picks, 126 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 2: but it would be fun to watch, it would be 127 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 2: would be it would be a wild experience to watch 128 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 2: him play. 129 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: So well, we'll keep your eye on that. 130 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: As as Pat said, we're taping on Tuesday, so obviously 131 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: there's a lot of volatility that's going to come into 132 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: the market over the next couple of days, based upon 133 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: quarterback availability and based upon if there are trades to 134 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: be made in the NFL. But let's just start this 135 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 2: on Tuesday. What's a bet that you're looking at right 136 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: now for Sunday? 137 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: In Week three? 138 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,599 Speaker 4: Pet Cowboys Bears over forty nine and a half, Matt 139 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 4: This one looks like a scorethon to me. The Bears 140 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 4: defense fell apart against the Vikings in the fourth quarter 141 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 4: of their Week one loss, and the Bears defense just 142 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 4: got steamrolled by the Lions last week. Chicago's best cornerback, 143 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,559 Speaker 4: Jalen Johnson just reaggravated a groin injury he had missed 144 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 4: week one, came back in Week two. Now he's out indefinitely. 145 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 4: Slot corner Kyler Gordon, their second best cornerback, out with 146 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 4: a hamstring injury. Not sure if he's coming back this week. 147 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 4: Probably not. Linebacker TJ. Edwards hamstring injury. Like this defense 148 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 4: is already chewed up, and the Cowboys pass defense just 149 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 4: got destroyed by Russell Wilson and the Giants, so they're 150 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 4: going to be without their best cornerback in Week three. 151 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 4: Dron Bland still without linebacker Demaron Overshan. The Bears rank 152 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,119 Speaker 4: d last in the league in defensive DVA through two weeks, 153 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 4: and I know it's early to be looking at DVA, 154 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,840 Speaker 4: but that's the fact. And the Cowboys ranked twenty ninth. 155 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 4: The Bears running game looks broken. They have to throw 156 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 4: a lot to win a game like this, and the 157 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 4: Chicago passing game hasn't been terrible. Also, Matt, it's gonna 158 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 4: be unseasonably warm here in Chicago on Sunday, temperatures in 159 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 4: the mid eighties. 160 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: These pass rushers are. 161 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 4: Going to get tired with as much throwing as I 162 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 4: think we're going to see in this game. So I 163 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 4: think this game goes soaring over the total, not making 164 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 4: a mistake of betting a Cowboys under again like I 165 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 4: did last week. 166 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 3: We're going over the total this week. 167 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 2: I can't make out heads or tails from the number. 168 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 2: Your play is right with the steam. This thing opened 169 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: up in forty six and a half. It's Tuesday, by 170 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: jo By the way, it's now fifty. To give you 171 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 2: an idea, it has been one way action on the 172 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: over here from the professionals, and we aren't even at 173 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: a point where the limits are opened up. Heavy limits 174 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: aren't available at the moment. This is just thousand dollars 175 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: limits at most books here on a Tuesday, and people 176 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: are hammering the over for this one. So I'll be 177 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: curious to see how high this winds up going. But 178 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: I'm with you on the over. I love to bet 179 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 2: that it's a good read by you. But my raad 180 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 2: is is just to take Dallas. I don't understand how 181 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: the Cowboys are a dog to a bear, a Bears 182 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 2: team that if we're gonna talk about points, we just 183 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: saw it with what the Cowboys did against the Giants. 184 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 2: I mean, the one thing that the Cowboys can do 185 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 2: is score. They can't play defense. But I don't trust 186 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams to do anything offensively, even against a bad defense. 187 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 2: I can't trust Caleb Williams to not throw interceptions. And 188 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: they just picked up to Davion Clowney. And I know 189 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: Clowney's not gonna be you know, he's not Michael Parsis 190 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,719 Speaker 2: by any stretch of the imagination, but he is a 191 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 2: guy who good pined his ears back and go get 192 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: the quarterback. It's the one thing that guy can do 193 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: is rush the quarterback. So I like what Dallas has 194 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 2: done by taking Clowney and I think we're gonna see points, 195 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 2: but I'm getting Dallas, as you mentioned, unseasonably warm. 196 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: This is not Chicago in December. 197 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 2: And know there are quote quasi dome team going to 198 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 2: the outdoor elements, but there's no elements. Is this going 199 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: to be a fast track in Chicago? My first play 200 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 2: is the Cowboys catching one and a half points. I'm 201 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 2: really surprised that Dallas is a dog here. Can you 202 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: make heads or tails of this? Well, Chicago's backed against 203 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 2: the wall. They've got to win this game. 204 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 4: Just maybe the fact that Chicago was being held in 205 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 4: pretty high regard coming into the season, with people thinking 206 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 4: Ben Johnson was going to turn things around, but clearly 207 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 4: not the case so far. And Matt, I'm here in 208 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 4: the Chicago area and on Sunday night, I was watching 209 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 4: one of the local newscast late and you know, they 210 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 4: were doing some extended interviews in the locker room with 211 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 4: Bears players. 212 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 3: Low morale. 213 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 4: Man, there was a real sense of defeat with the 214 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 4: players that they were talking to, like they did not 215 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 4: expect to get blown out by Detroit. 216 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 3: Even if we expected that. 217 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're spot on here with your Dallas instinct. 218 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 2: It's interesting too, because the Lions players were cloud Ben Johnson. 219 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 2: I mean they were celebrating with running his plays in 220 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: the end zone to tease him, and like you could 221 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: tell going into the game that you know there were 222 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 2: some comments that had been made kind of not as 223 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 2: widely publicized, but if he dug down deep that the 224 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 2: Lions were angry about the way Ben Johnson went about it, 225 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 2: and him going to the Lions sorry to the Bears 226 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: from the Lions didn't sit well with players. It was like, Okay, 227 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 2: if you want to go coach, that's great, but don't 228 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 2: go coach arrival. And he went to go coach arrival, 229 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 2: and he picked to go to the Bears. He wanted 230 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 2: to go to the Bears. He chose publicly sid I 231 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 2: want to be the coach of the Bears. So that 232 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 2: didn't sit well. So so now here back at home, 233 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 2: if the players aren't jumping up and down, I mean 234 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: we've seen it before, we're Soldier field. If the fans 235 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 2: start to get a bit antsy and nervous, and if 236 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 2: Dallas scores early, it starts to get to be that 237 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: pressure cooker where Caleb starts to force things because he 238 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 2: knows he has to try to do a superman act 239 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 2: to win the game. And I know, again it's the Cowboys, 240 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 2: but I just don't trust Caleb to be able to 241 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 2: win a football game in that scenario. It's more like 242 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 2: a money line play for the Cowboys. When you're catching 243 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 2: one and a half points. I just think Dallas wins 244 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 2: the game. Dak Prescott in this receiving core is only 245 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: going to get better as we go. Dallas has ran 246 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 2: the ball pretty effectively for the first two weeks. It's 247 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 2: been pretty impressive to see what they've done offensively running 248 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 2: the football as well. It's passing the football. So I 249 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 2: like Dallas lay in one. You like the over, I 250 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 2: think the over. You can play both those right now. 251 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: If you like those plays, would bet them now because 252 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,199 Speaker 2: those numbers think both are going to change by the 253 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 2: time kickoff comes on Sunday. We are extremely excited to 254 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 2: announce the new presenting sponsor of this podcast, hard Rock Bet. 255 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 2: Hard Rock Bet is the only legal sports book in 256 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 2: the sit of Florida, and it's also available in Arizona, Ohio, 257 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,719 Speaker 2: New Jersey, Indiana, Tennessee, Virginia, Illinois, and Colorado, with more 258 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 2: states launching all the time, including in Nevada where they're 259 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 2: building that beautiful new casino property on the Las Vegas Strip. 260 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: You can also play hard Rock Bets online casino if 261 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: you are in the state of New Jersey, as we're 262 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: here with the NFL.

For you, what are you looking at? 278 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 4: I am going to go with uh. And I know 279 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 4: we might not agree with this one. Titans plus three 280 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 4: and a half over the cool guys at home. So 281 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 4: I don't know, man, I missed the memo that the 282 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 4: Colts are a Super Bowl contender. Like, I know, they 283 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 4: look good in their Week two win over a pretty 284 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 4: good Broncos team. They were at home for that one. 285 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 4: They were also at home for an evisceration of the 286 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 4: Dolphin in Week one. I don't think anyone really believes 287 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,719 Speaker 4: that was any sort of achievements, you know, not a 288 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 4: great accomplishment to beat the Dolphins at this point. But 289 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 4: do we really think Daniel Jones is going to keep 290 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 4: playing mistake free MVP level football for the Colts? Like 291 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 4: in seventy two career games, Daniel Jones has forty seven 292 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 4: interceptions and fifty fumbles so far this year, no turnovers, 293 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 4: Like he is a career average of six point six 294 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 4: yards per pass attempt. Two games into the season, He's 295 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 4: had nine point three yards per attempt. And you know, 296 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 4: I give Shane credit, Shane Stiken credit for being a 297 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 4: good coach, maybe he can kind of fix or at 298 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 4: least patch up Daniel Jones. And part of it is 299 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 4: that the Colts offensive line has kept him really clean 300 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 4: so far. They have a lot of pressure rate of 301 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 4: less than ten percent. That's crazy good, but it's also 302 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 4: not sustainable. This is the Colts first road game, Matt. 303 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 4: They were three and six on the road last year. 304 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 4: They did win in Tennessee, but only by three points, 305 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 4: twenty to seventeen. And I know the Titans haven't played 306 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 4: well the first two weeks, but give me a home 307 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 4: dog getting more than a field goal against the Indianapolis calls. 308 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 4: I'm betting the Titans at plus three and a half. 309 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 2: I want the three. And I'm on the other side 310 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 2: the Callahan crew. I can never back. And whether it 311 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 2: be Brian or Bill, cam Ward has gotten away with 312 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 2: a couple of throws already that I think is the 313 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 2: worst thing for him, because in college, the more he 314 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 2: got away with the let's run to my left and 315 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 2: throw as far back to the left to the other 316 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 2: side of the field as I can. 317 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: And it worked in Miami, it worked in college. 318 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: It worked last week for a touchdown pass where he 319 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 2: ran to his right and threw all the way back 320 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 2: to the left. That I think is a problem, and 321 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 2: I think that's not good for him to think he 322 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 2: can do that. And I think cam Ward could be 323 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: a problem here with this Colts defense. I think you 324 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 2: could see turnovers here. I just think, look, Shane Steichen 325 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 2: has been tremendous in the early months. He's now set 326 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 2: seventeen and eight against the number in September, October, and November. 327 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 2: I think there's a coaching mismatch here. I think Daniel 328 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 2: Jones has an opportunity to change the narrative about everything 329 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 2: about him. I mean, he's with a competent coach and 330 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: you could say him in New York just didn't work 331 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 2: sometimes chains of scenery. It's a divisional game to me 332 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 2: where I have a better team on the road and 333 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 2: the Colts are going to fall apart at some point 334 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 2: because Shane Steichen does not do well in December. He's 335 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: three to eight ats in December, so the Colts run 336 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: out of gas. But in the early part of the year, 337 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 2: much like the Packers, the Colts are a team under 338 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: Shane Stikeen that you want to back. I was stunned 339 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: they beat the Broncos. I mean, and I was stunned 340 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 2: the game went over. I thought that was a dead under. 341 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 2: That was one of my best bets to go under 342 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: in that game. Nope, that game was over at halftime basically. 343 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 2: So it was twenty one to twenty, I believe at 344 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 2: halftime of that game. And yes, the Colts were fortunate 345 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 2: to get the flag to be able to kick the 346 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 2: field goal to win the game against the Broncos. But 347 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 2: I was I was very impressed with the performance from 348 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 2: the offensive perspective, and so going on the road against 349 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 2: the Titans defense, which I'm not really all that in 350 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 2: love with, I'll lay the three. 351 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: I think the hook matters for you. 352 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 2: Three and a half. This is one of those things 353 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 2: where either buy it down or search and go find it. 354 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 2: But the numbers climbing it opened it two. We're now 355 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 2: at three and a half at some books. So you 356 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 2: like plus three and a half, I like minus three. 357 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 2: We'll see how the game goes home dogs in the NFL, 358 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 2: I can't argue it. It's always better I think to 359 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: take points in laying points when it comes to teams 360 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 2: at home. 361 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: But I like what I've seen out of Daniel Jones, 362 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: at least early in the year. I've liked what I've 363 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: seen out of them so far. 364 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 3: When, but when does that carriage turn into a pumpkin mat? 365 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: That's just it's the Titans though. 366 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 2: I mean, I agree with you, but like the Titans 367 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 2: of the team to do it. Maybe not, it's and 368 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 2: it's a it's a bottom three team in the NFL. 369 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 2: So are they the guy? They're the team too exposed 370 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 2: to kind of show the Emperor has no clothes. 371 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 4: I don't know you all saw you mentioned the Shane 372 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 4: Styke in early season in seventeen and eight record. I 373 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 4: think that's also your record against me when we're on 374 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 4: opposite sides of a vent maybe even. 375 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 3: A little bit better than seventeen and eight. So you know, 376 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 3: if you're watching this, you should probably go. 377 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 2: With Matt and I'll be curious to see what ends 378 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 2: up happening. But again, you can get threes in the market. 379 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 2: I think the hook does matter. If you don't mind 380 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 2: the juice, you can buy it down to three. If 381 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 2: you up at three and a half, you can wait. 382 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 2: I think that number climbs. I think you can get 383 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: a better number than three and a half. I think 384 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 2: that's going to be four, four and a half by 385 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,959 Speaker 2: time kickoff comes around, because I don't think anyone's back 386 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 2: in the Titans, you know, just given what we've seen 387 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 2: so far, if you care about such a thing, it's 388 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: basically ninety percent of the money is in on the Colts. 389 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 2: So the early professional move is on Indianapolis less than 390 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 2: a field goal now being driven over a field goal 391 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 2: at three. 392 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: And a half. Number three, play for you this weekend? 393 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: What are you looking at? 394 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 4: Seahawks minus seven and a half at home against the Saints. 395 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 4: And I think the true line here is probably should 396 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 4: be closer to ten. It's it's smaller than I would 397 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,959 Speaker 4: have expected. I mean, and it's minus one to ZHO 398 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 4: five with Seattle minus seven and a half. Line is 399 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,679 Speaker 4: smaller than I would have expected because the Saints have 400 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 4: actually acquitted themselves reasonably well so far in a pair 401 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 4: of opening home games, close losses to the Cardinals and 402 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 4: forty nine ers. But now they're on the road for 403 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 4: the first time and Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler has not 404 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 4: thrown an interception yet. I would not count on that 405 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 4: to continue. Seattle is a really good defense. Mike McDonald 406 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,359 Speaker 4: one of the sharpest defensive minds in the game, and 407 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,959 Speaker 4: the Seahawks got their running game cranked up with Kenneth 408 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 4: Walker last week in Pittsburgh. I think they're going to 409 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 4: make really easy work of the Saints at home in 410 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 4: one of the toughest places to play in the NFL, 411 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 4: against the team making a long trip to the Pacific 412 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 4: Northwest from the Bayou. So give me the Seahawks minus 413 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 4: seven and a half. 414 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: I like it. 415 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 2: And I think in terms of defensive acumen, I think 416 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 2: the Seahawks gets slept on a little bit here just 417 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: how good they are defensively. And I think in watching 418 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,719 Speaker 2: them this year, they've done nothing but take you know, 419 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 2: to change my opinion of what Seattle has been able 420 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 2: to accomplish. And again, this is another game in which 421 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 2: you're talking about a backup quarterback going on the road 422 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: to a top tough, hostile environment, you know, one of 423 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 2: the mean the Saints at home. Fine Saints on the road, 424 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 2: give me a break. This is where you see them 425 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 2: be the worst team in football in particular to the 426 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 2: environment that is Seattle, to go up there and take 427 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 2: on the Seahawks there. 428 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: So I like that. 429 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 2: I'll be curious to see how high that number goes, 430 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 2: because you know, we've got a twelve and a half 431 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 2: on the board for Buffalo, we have a eight and 432 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 2: a half on the board for Green Bay. We have 433 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 2: a seven and a half on the board here for Seattle. Like, 434 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 2: we could be looking on a week where we get 435 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 2: three double digit favorites in the NFL, and we've had 436 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 2: that in previous years where we've seen large double digit 437 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,719 Speaker 2: favorites and generally speaking, teams cover those teams that have 438 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 2: the big number next to them that actually do blow 439 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 2: the team out and they do end up covering. So 440 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 2: I think that's that's another number that if you like it, 441 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 2: bet it now, because I do think that number is 442 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 2: just going to climb for Seattle.

One 459 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 2: hundred percent be involved in this. But the Chiefs are 460 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 2: on the road against New York and the Chiefs are desperate. 461 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 2: They're laying five and a half or five, they'll probably 462 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 2: lay six to seven by the time we get to 463 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,880 Speaker 2: kick off on this. The public the narrative all week long, 464 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 2: it is going to be what's wrong with the casey Chiefs. 465 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 2: But I think Kansas City goes up against the Giants, 466 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 2: and look, if you're a Giant fan, you have to 467 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 2: start asking yourself the question of if we lose this game. 468 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 2: And that's why you could tease it down, just take 469 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 2: it down to a money line for Kansas City. But 470 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 2: if you lose this game, you go oh to three 471 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 2: and even though Russell Wilson just threw for four hundred 472 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: yards against the Cowboys, when do you play Jackson Dart Like, 473 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 2: when do you start to game plan and give him 474 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: more than just a couple of plays and get him 475 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 2: actually into the rotation as the quarterback of the future 476 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 2: for the New York Giants. On the other side, the 477 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,719 Speaker 2: Chiefs couldn't be more desperate because the Chargers are two 478 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,239 Speaker 2: and oh and the Chargers are playing the Broncos. I mean, 479 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 2: the Chargers have a chance if they win this game, 480 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 2: they go three and oh in the division. Pat not 481 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 2: just three and oh overall three know in the division 482 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 2: Casey cannot lose this game against the Giants. This is 483 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 2: just a straight like Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes pulling 484 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: up magic to stop the losing streak three straight games. 485 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 2: I can't see four straight games for it, so tease it. 486 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 2: But also five and a half. How do you feel 487 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 2: about the Chiefs on the road against the Giants? 488 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 3: Pretty good? I like your angle on this one. Man. 489 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 4: The Chiefs stuffed the run pretty well, so Russell Wilson 490 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 4: is going to have to take to the air again, 491 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 4: and so much of his success against the Cowboys last 492 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 4: week was just Giants receivers running go routes and beating 493 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 4: the Cowboys. That's not going to happen against the Steve 494 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 4: Spagnolo defense. So Russ is going to have to be 495 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 4: on again. And like week one, he looked pretty terrible 496 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 4: against Washington, So I would bet on terrible Russ coming 497 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 4: out again over like the vintage Russ we saw last week. 498 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 4: I just think that was kind of a mirage. So 499 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 4: I'm with you. 500 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 2: Here and you may get some juiced up numbers for 501 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 2: Russell Wilson passing yard is maybe up to high. Touchdown passes, 502 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: maybe up too high. I mean, I would say look 503 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 2: to fade everything with Russell Wilson going up against you know, 504 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: if the Chiefs are gonna win the game, they may 505 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 2: they might win the game seventeen to seven. I'm not 506 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,679 Speaker 2: saying it's gonna be a high scoring game. Maybe the 507 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 2: under as well is a decent look for the game. 508 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 2: But I mean, this is a very prideful organization that's 509 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 2: having a very hard week and a very difficult look 510 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 2: in the mirror. 511 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,959 Speaker 4: And they get Xavier Worthy back in all likely I 512 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 4: do it seems like, you know, they almost kept that 513 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 4: window open for him late into last week playing with 514 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 4: this brace. Now, whether he's kind of a little guy, 515 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 4: I don't know if he holds up for the whole game, 516 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 4: but I do think he comes back this week. 517 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 2: That's a I mean, you have a dislocated, separated shoulder, 518 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 2: whatever it might be. It's just like you go and 519 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 2: play NFL football for a guy his size, ow is 520 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 2: that that's not gonna. 521 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 4: As a guy dealing with the shoulder injury, I'm sure 522 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 4: you can imagine the difficulty of that. 523 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, the guy who could relate to the pain of 524 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: deal with that. 525 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 2: All right, So every week we look at survivor plays 526 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,360 Speaker 2: and so far you're two and now so far I'm 527 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 2: two and o so or technly our survivor picks would 528 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 2: still be alive. If you were gonna take a survivor 529 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 2: play this week, what would it be. 530 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 4: I'm gonna go back to that Seahawks Saints game, Like, 531 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 4: I just don't think there's any chance the Saints go 532 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 4: up to the Pacific Northwest. You know, it beat the 533 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 4: Seahawks in Seattle, so there's some other nice options on 534 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 4: the board. It's I know you don't like betting divisional games, 535 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 4: but it's hard to see the Bills dumping one to 536 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 4: the Dolphins at Thursday Thursday night at home. 537 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: There's just so much wonkiness to that. 538 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 2: It makes the logic of that makes perfect sense, right, yes, 539 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 2: but but there's just that like divisional Thursday, red flag 540 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,199 Speaker 2: on red flag on red flag of like, is this 541 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 2: now the time to take the Bills? 542 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: I don't know. 543 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 2: I mean, I know, it's only one trip to my 544 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 2: to Buffalo from Miami. It's in September. The Bills are 545 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 2: going down there later in December, I understand, But is 546 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 2: now the time to use Buffalo. I don't know if 547 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 2: this is the game to use Buffalo. 548 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 3: Agree. 549 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 4: As nice as it would be to get your survivor 550 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 4: win in on a Thursday, I think the Bills aren't 551 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 4: gonna be a team we're looking to take a little later. 552 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 3: They're a good team to save. 553 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 4: And you know, the Packers certainly in play against the 554 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 4: Browns with what we've seen from their defense, Like I 555 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 4: do worry maybe it's a little bit of a letdown 556 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 4: spot like the Packers. Maybe they start to believe their 557 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 4: press clippings a little too much and we'll see though, 558 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 4: I mean, like the Browns defense was I felt bad 559 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 4: for them as well, as they played against the Ravens 560 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 4: last week and Joe Flacco just kept giving the ball 561 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 4: back to the Ravens and it wound up being a blowout. 562 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 4: But the Browns defense acquitted itself really well in that game, 563 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 4: and so I worry that they could turn this into 564 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 4: kind of a low scoring, closer than you want it. 565 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 3: To be type of game. 566 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 2: So I am I'm recommending the Packers because of what 567 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 2: their record is under Matt Laflor, which is ridiculous. They 568 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 2: are now seventeen and three against the spread in their 569 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 2: first three games of the season. Since twenty nineteen, they 570 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 2: are seventeen and six ats in September under Matt Laflor, 571 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 2: and they're ridiculous eight and one against the number on 572 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 2: the road. So I will be laying the eight points 573 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: with the Packers early. You can jump in on that 574 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 2: number if you want to get it before it runs. 575 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 2: But I like the Packers to win and cover. They're 576 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 2: gonna win the game. They're probably gonna kill the Browns. 577 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 2: To be quite honest, this is just this is a 578 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 2: game in which Matt lafleor flexes. They go out there 579 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 2: and put up a big number. I know the Browns 580 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 2: defense is they're better unit than their offense. But I 581 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 2: like the Packers. If you're gonna look for a time, 582 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 2: I know it's a road team, so you be like, 583 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 2: whoa a road team favorite? Heavy on the you know, 584 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 2: do you want to? But it's a survivor play, so 585 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 2: it's just to win the game. But Matt Lafleur has 586 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 2: proven it, in particular the for the first two weeks 587 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 2: of the season, that this offense can put up some numbers. 588 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,439 Speaker 2: They can run the football, and man, you're you're a 589 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 2: Packer fan, right, you're. 590 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: In Chicago, but you like this, sir. 591 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 2: You got to feel something special here about this defense 592 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 2: as to what's going on, because I haven't bought a 593 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: future yet on the Packers, but watching their defense the 594 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 2: first two weeks, I've definitely been shopping for a Packer's 595 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 2: Super Bowl future. 596 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:23,439 Speaker 1: Just give what they look like. 597 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, last I checked, they've they've passed the Eagles to 598 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 4: become NFC favorites. Their minus are plus three to twenty 599 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 4: and I think the Eagles are plus three sixty last 600 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 4: I checked. So yeah, this defense does look great and 601 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,239 Speaker 4: unfortunately this is probably going to be the Packers last year. 602 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 4: With Jeff Haffley as defensive coordinator because I think he 603 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 4: gets a head coaching gig next year, like he was 604 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:48,360 Speaker 4: doing a great job last year pre Micah Parsons. We're 605 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 4: lacking sort of a punch, yeah, key pass rushing force. Yeah, 606 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 4: leaving our cornerbacks exposed a little more than I would 607 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 4: have liked. But Halfley has done an amazing job and 608 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 4: this defense has really come to get there. There's some 609 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 4: unsung guys in the secondary who are playing terrifically. I 610 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 4: think Edgar and Cooper their linebackers, like this unsung star 611 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 4: who's gonna be more of a household name in the 612 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 4: years to come. So yeah, it's an amazing defense. And 613 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 4: you know, Jordan Love is still pretty pretty good quarterback 614 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,199 Speaker 4: to the one two punch of Love in Jacobs is 615 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 4: pretty solid. 616 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 3: So yeah, things are things are looking up. Man. 617 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I love what I've seen, and I know it's 618 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 2: sort of like the pick dejore, but the numbers don't 619 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 2: lie for what this Packers team does early in the 620 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 2: season under Matt Lafleur, under Jordan Love, and now you've 621 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 2: just added a defense that I mean, they're going on 622 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 2: the road now, look like it's not Cleveland in December. 623 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 2: It's Cleveland in September. So and if it's gonna be 624 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 2: unseeably warm in Chicago, my gut tells me that Ohio's 625 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 2: weather is gonna be similar here, so it's gonna be warm. 626 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 2: It's gonna be warm in Ohio for the game as well. 627 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 2: So Micah Parsons can pin his ears back and go 628 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 2: make you know, the life a living heck for the 629 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 2: quarterbacks for the Cleveland Brown. 630 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: So I haven't bought it. I should have bought it 631 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: at seven to one. 632 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 2: I kind of choked on it and said, all right, 633 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 2: let's get out of September and let's see the first loss. 634 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: Let's see if there's a. 635 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 2: Losing streak at some point for the Packers, and maybe 636 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 2: people the shine comes off the penny for a little 637 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 2: bit and then we can get involved with the Packers. 638 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 2: But come to playoffs. I'm not high on the Lions. 639 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 2: I know they just killed the Bears. I don't care, 640 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,479 Speaker 2: like it meant nothing to me that that game was. 641 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 2: You know, it's an anomaly. I think the Bears are bad. 642 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 2: I don't think the Bears are going to be good, 643 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,239 Speaker 2: So I like the Packers to win the Division and 644 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 2: then you've got the path right as to like who 645 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 2: else in the NFC it's the Eagles, right, Well, if 646 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 2: the Packers can get the number one seed and you 647 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 2: force the Eagles to go to LAMBA. I know they're 648 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 2: a cold weather team quote quote unquote and they look 649 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 2: to run the football, but that place in January, no, thanks, Like, 650 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think anybody wants to play 651 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 2: in Green Bay, Wisconsin in January at lambeau Field. So 652 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 2: if they can get the one seed, or at least 653 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 2: that they're angling to get the one seed, huge advantage 654 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: for or for the Packers to make it to San 655 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 2: Francisco for the Super Bowl. 656 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 1: So I'm in on your team. 657 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 2: I like your coach, I like your quarterback, I like 658 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 2: your defense a lot man like it's hard Bear fans 659 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 2: are gonna hear this and want to throw up and 660 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 2: go this is ridiculous, you guys. Everyone always pumps the 661 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 2: tires with the Packers and then they fall apart in January. Okay, maybe, 662 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: but it's interesting and you're a Packer fan, so you 663 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 2: can tell me. I don't remember players talking the way 664 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 2: that they've been talking in the locker room for the 665 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 2: Packers since Michael Parsons has been traded there, like he 666 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 2: he did something to that psyche for that football team 667 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 2: when he went there. 668 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 4: Absolutely huge emotional left to get him. You know, it 669 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 4: seems like found money, right if you're a member of 670 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 4: the Green Bay Packer Packers or a Packers fan and. 671 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: You have a guy that if you third and seven, 672 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 2: you need to need a guy to blow up a play. 673 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: Yep, Michael Parts is a pretty good guy to go 674 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 1: and do. 675 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 2: It, all right for a bet that we would make 676 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 2: right now, a number that you think is gonna move? 677 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: What play would you make one on Tuesday? 678 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 5: Man? 679 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 4: Maybe I should have taken Seattle for this category, Matt, 680 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 4: But this is another line I do think could move. 681 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 4: I like the Vikings at home minus three over the Bengals. 682 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 4: I worry that we're going to lose this three and 683 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 4: go up to three and a half and not get 684 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 4: this key number. So we've got no starting quarterbacks in 685 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 4: this game. With JJ McCarthy out and Joe Burrow out, 686 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 4: the quarterback situation is a hiccup for the Vikings. Like 687 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 4: McCarthy wasn't playing well anyway, the Joe Burrow injury is 688 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 4: ruinous for the Bengals. And I know we saw Jake 689 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 4: Browning fill in admirably the last time he had to 690 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 4: sub for Joe Burrow for an extended period. 691 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 3: But let's not kid ourselves. 692 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 4: This is a huge drop off and the Bengals now 693 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 4: have no chance to make the playoffs, even though they're 694 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 4: two and oh, a very fraudulent two and oh against 695 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 4: bad teams. They were lucky to beat the Browns in 696 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 4: week one. They were lucky to beat the Jaguars in 697 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 4: week two. Met the Vikings laid a huge egg Sunday 698 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 4: night against the Falcons. Like normally US Bank Stadium is 699 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 4: a house of horrors for opponents, the Vikings just rolled 700 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 4: over for the Falcons in a twenty two to six loss. 701 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 4: And no way the Vikings played two straight terrible games 702 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 4: at home, like this is a very well coached team 703 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 4: with Kevin O'Connell calling the shots and Brian Flores running 704 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 4: the defense. And I think the Vikings are going to 705 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 4: be breathing fire after embarrassing themselves on national television. So 706 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 4: this is really kind of a spot game for me. 707 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 3: I mean, think of the. 708 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 4: Relative the morale for these two teams right now, Vikings angry, embarrassed, 709 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 4: ready to come out and show something against the Bengals. 710 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 4: The Bengals, knowing that their star quarterback is going to 711 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 4: be out pretty much for the rest of the season, 712 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 4: like barring a miracle that he comes back, like, their 713 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 4: morale has to be in the tank. So I think 714 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 4: the Vikings are going to win this one handily. 715 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to throw you a curveball because I'm going 716 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 2: to change. I just thought we've going to take the Colts, 717 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 2: but because we're on opposite sides of I'm going to say, Okay, 718 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 2: maybe you are correct with this, So I'm gonna pivot 719 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 2: because I might be wrong about taking Telling people to 720 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 2: bet a road favorite in the division at the moment 721 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 2: may not be the smartest thing to do early. Let's 722 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 2: wait and see how that number settles, and then maybe 723 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 2: I still like the Colts, but maybe you wait and 724 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 2: see where that number settles. The Patriots are hosting the Steelers. 725 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 2: The number at Fandel is one and a half the Patriots. 726 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 2: If you look at the number other books, we've seen 727 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 2: already quite a bit of movement on the Patriots to 728 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 2: wind up being a home either a pick them. I 729 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 2: think the Patriot's going to close as the favorite. So 730 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 2: if I was gonna bet it early, Fandel's got the 731 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 2: Steelers laying one and a half at the Patriots, I 732 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 2: would take the home dog. 733 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: Patriots. 734 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 2: They played so poorly in their opener and then went 735 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 2: down and look, they probably should have lost the game. 736 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 2: If a Chine doesn't step out of bound to the 737 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 2: twenty yard line on that final drive, Dolphins probably win. Instead, 738 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 2: he did step out of bounds, the Patriots hold on 739 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 2: and they win the game. But one of the craziest 740 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 2: twelve seconds of my Patriot fandom was watching the punt 741 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 2: return for a touchdown and then Gibson returning the kickoff 742 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 2: for a touchdown in the biggest like whiplash in the 743 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 2: everything you know, the meme of Mike Vrabel running alongside 744 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 2: Gibson along the sidelines. I believe in momentum, momentum for 745 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 2: teams when they get a win like that. I mean, 746 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,479 Speaker 2: there was a lot of people holding their breath after 747 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 2: the loss to the Raiders. They didn't know what this 748 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 2: team was going to look like. And then Drake May 749 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 2: performed really really well on the road against Miami. I 750 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 2: know the Steeler defense is really on paper good, but 751 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 2: if Justin Fields can carve up that defense. I think 752 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,120 Speaker 2: Drake may can carve up that defense. I'll take a 753 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 2: home dog Patriot team catching one and a half points 754 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 2: early in the week at the moment to see where 755 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,919 Speaker 2: that number closes, because I think you're going to see 756 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 2: more action on the Patriots and they'll close as the 757 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 2: favorite against the Steelers. So if you're gonna better early, 758 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 2: I bet the Patriots early up against the Steelers. 759 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, we take it for granted that the Steelers are 760 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,800 Speaker 4: going to have a good defense. Well in two weeks, 761 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 4: We've watch them get carved up by Justin Fields, who 762 00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,400 Speaker 4: then had like three completions through about three quarters in 763 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 4: Week two before getting concussed. And we saw Seattle just 764 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,799 Speaker 4: kind of run all over them last week after having 765 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 4: a terrible game running the ball in Week one against 766 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers. So like this Pittsburgh defense is 767 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,240 Speaker 4: not what we are used. 768 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 2: To and the offense, okay, I get it, DK Metcalf 769 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 2: and company. 770 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 1: The Patriots hopefully get Christian Gonzalez back. 771 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,840 Speaker 2: I mean this is there's a lot of rumor mills 772 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 2: and conspiracy theories running around about when the re injury 773 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 2: of the Hamsterring happened for Christian Gonzales because he was 774 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 2: supposed to play the opener and then he was supposed 775 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 2: to play in Week two. 776 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: He didn't play neither one. 777 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 2: So the hope is that he comes back and plays 778 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 2: in Week three for the Patriots. 779 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: But their pass rush. 780 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 2: Against Tua was tremendous and it's I think it's only 781 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 2: going to get better as they go throughout the season 782 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 2: and get more comfortable in this new defensive system. And 783 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 2: then I thought Josh McDaniels really settled down nicely as 784 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator of the Patriots and gave Drake May 785 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 2: some easy throws. I thought him, is Deefon Diggs or 786 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,799 Speaker 2: starting to develop some type of chemistry together, big third 787 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,400 Speaker 2: down catches for Stefan Diggs. 788 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: So I home dog Patriots. 789 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 2: I'll take it against the Steelers, a team that generally speaking, 790 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 2: over my lifetime, the Patriots have owned the Steelers in 791 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 2: big games. So that's one thing that I would jump 792 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 2: on early.
