WEBVTT - Benny vs The Penny, Round 9 0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:09.520 Welcome players, You're welcome. Are It's time now Benny Versus 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:13.600 the Penny? That it is. It is week nine in 0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:19.240 the NFL. You're gambling analysis here on the Magic podcast 0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:22.000 Box and its entirety Benny versus the Penny. Now we 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.880 will not talk about the Cincinnati Bengals, the Atlanta Falcons, 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:28.840 the Los Angeles Rams, or the New Orleans Saints. They 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.720 are all on a bye week. But everyone else either 0:00:31.840 --> 0:00:34.840 has played like that Thursday night game earlier this week 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:38.479 with Santa Clara and Arizona UH, and a bunch of 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:42.760 games obviously coming up Sunday and Monday as well. And 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:49.560 the Penny is represented by Gascon David Gascon. And before 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.000 we look ahead, we must look back. Gascon, another winning 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:57.160 week for me, another plus week against the spread picking 0:00:57.360 --> 0:01:02.480 NFL games. I believe I one no. Nine, that is correct, 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.040 nine games. You won nine. And I have to ask, 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.080 because this has been on the front of my mind 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.679 the last couple of weeks, but has this been the 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:14.360 best start you've ever had in Benny Versus the Penny? Uh? 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:18.240 You know you've asked me that before. I know you 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.280 have asked me that pretty much every week. You asked 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:22.880 me the same question because you have nothing else to ask. 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.720 But I, I, uh, I am very enthusiastic that I 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.920 have done this well. I am flattered. I feel like 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:34.240 I've finally figured it out after all these years. But 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.640 I have to say that it is my most sustained 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:43.480 success that I have enjoyed handicapping NFL games. I just 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.039 want to point out again I want to remind people 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.280 as a disclaimer, Gaston, since gambling is happening more and 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:52.360 more here that the way this works, I give advice 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.160 on every game. I'd spend a lot of time, way 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.640 too much time. It's one of my hobbies handicapping these games. 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.640 So the way I I designed the po podcast here 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.000 is if you you should do your own homework, and 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.200 then if you agree with what I say, if we 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:06.920 were on the same page and I think that's a game, 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.040 you should probably better. Um. But as with everything, money 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:13.120 management is very important. Try to avoid the sucker bets. 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.800 A lot of people love the sucker bets with the 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.120 parlay you know, seven team parlay's and all that stuff, 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.720 but I I generally do not. And so anyway, that's 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.600 that's my advice. All right, all right, we got we've 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:27.880 got plenty of games. I know the Santa Clara Arizona 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:32.440 game last night. Yeah, so let's do this thing, all right, 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.320 let's do it. We'll do it. We'll start with Houston 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:38.400 five and three at Jacksonville four and four. This is 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:42.800 a London game at Wembley Stadium in London, and it 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:47.120 will start at nine thirty in the morning Eastern Standard Time, 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.760 which means on the West Coast where we broadcast from 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.480 six thirty in the morning. Sweet baby Jesus, I hope 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.880 that game goes well. I will not be watching. Uh. 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.560 And it's it's not on the networks. They used to 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.000 put these games on the networks. But it's on NFL network, 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:05.440 not on a you know, CBS, Fox or NBC. Uh No, 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.760 it is on the NFL network. They're flying over Rich Eisen, 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:13.320 Kurt Warner, Steve Mariucci, and Michael Irvin. It takes four 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.520 people to brought a four man booth for Houston and Jacksonville. Now, 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.560 the Texans opened up a three point favorite. They're favored 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.240 by one. It's gonna be cloudy in fifty three degrees 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:28.240 at kickoff at Wembley Stadium in London, and the pick 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:30.440 is in. I'm gonna take Jacksonville this game. I feel 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.320 like the wrong team is favorite here. The Texans have 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.680 been an up and down team, but more importantly, they 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:42.280 have been ripped apart at their soul with injury. I'm 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.960 talking about not only J. J. Watt, who's out for 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.200 the year yet again stopped me if you've heard that before, 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:49.560 but there's other players in the second year they are 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.000 also dinged up. And and I'm looking out at Gardner 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:57.760 Minshew Mania and this has a set up for jackson 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:01.880 with the public is loading up on Houston like they're 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:05.760 the Patriots or something like that, and they're not. Uh, 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:10.120 Jacksonville is being underappreciated here. And you know they often 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:15.760 say that matchups make fights, right, Jacksonville's defensive front against 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.520 the revolving doors of the Houston Texans offensive line. You 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:23.360 toss in Deshaun Watson, who's like a bad water heater. 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.320 The water you don't know whether the hot water is 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.719 cold or hot, and it goes from hot to cold 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.000 and cold. I mean, it's just it's a week to week. 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.080 And let's not forget last time he played Jacksonville, he 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.520 passed for a hundred and fifty nine yards and lost 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.560 two fumbles and Jacksonville would have won the game on 0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:40.880 a two point conversion they didn't convert at the end. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.599 In addition to that, if you saw the World serious 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.600 this week, Deshaun Watson was invited to Game seven. He 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:51.200 couldn't move, couldn't go to the game. Why his eye 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.599 was so mutilated when he got stepped on in the 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.320 game against the Raiders that he had to cancel that 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.719 World Series appearance to treat his wounded eye. Good luck 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.320 on that. And it's a London game. I know, weird 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.680 things happen in London, but Jacksonville goes there every year. 0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.719 That's their one of the home stadiums. Jags twenty four 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:16.720 or actually Jacks twenty six, Texans twenty Ben Penning's going 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.560 the other way, going with Houston. Yeah, it's a bad pick. 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.919 I mean one an old boom gune for me. I 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.560 don't know about that. Be sure to catch live editions 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.200 of The Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.800 eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:35.120 Heart Radio app al Right next up Washington one in 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.680 seven at Buffalo five and two, It's on Fox. Do 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:43.200 you want to play the Dick Stockton game. Since you 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.960 brought it up? Is this the Dick Stockton game? No, 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:50.159 it is not the Stockton Yeah, Chris Myers and Darryl 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:54.120 Moose Johnston have the call my former colleague are Fox 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:58.400 Sports Radio? No Christian? Christian? I know that now you don't? Yeah? 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.240 I forgot. And Bills opened up a ten point favorite, 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.920 their favorite by nine and a half. It'll be cloudy 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.920 in thirty nine degrees at kickoff at New Era of 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:10.120 Field and Orchard Park, New York. And I figured we're 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.599 getting into November this weekend. What are we a couple 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:17.479 of weeks away from possible blizzard lake Lake effects snow 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.719 hitting a Bill's home game always fun. I don't know 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.320 it's about to dip below seventy here in Los Angeles. 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:26.360 So I've got my jacket about you, all right, I'm 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:29.120 gonna take the Redskins in this game. And here's why. 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.000 First of all, the Bills to me get downgraded a 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.080 couple of notches after a rather las a fair pathetic 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:40.800 effort on all fronts against the Eagles. So contender pretender 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.960 this debate. I have them more in the pretender category. 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:48.240 And how many terrible games does this Josh Allen have 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:52.120 to play before his fair game to highlight his quarterback 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:55.560 in competence. Allen's the twenty eight ranked quarterback in the NFL. 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.800 Only Baker Mayfield has been worse among quarterbacks that have 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:02.599 start at all season. Now, the saving graces for Buffalo 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.839 has been the defense, and the Bills have held opponents 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.720 to under four undred yards going back nineteen consecutive games, 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:12.160 so that obviously predates this season, last couple of years 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.040 for that Buffalo defense, just the longest active streak in 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.280 the NFL. And we know the Redskins have some issues. 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.680 And the Redskins haven't even generated four hundred yards of 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.560 offense in twenty three straight games. I believe that is 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:27.480 the longest for that franchise in like fifteen plus years 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.360 or something like that. But anyway, I am taking the 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.720 Redskins here, and this game is about running backs. You know, 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.040 the game is not at that attractive when the marquis 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.760 says that this is gonna this game is gonna pick 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.520 two of the top six rushers all time in NFL history, 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:45.240 Frank Gore and Adrian Peterson. This is the first time 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.720 in NFL history that two players over thirteen thousand, five 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.480 hundred career rushing yards have gone head to head. Uh, 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.440 and that tells you there's nothing else to talk about. 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.800 But as long as case Keenom's playing, and the word 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.080 is he's going to play from what I heard, So 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.320 as long the Keendom's playing over the compass, I'll take 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:06.800 him over the compass, Rose Josh Allen uh. And so 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:09.400 all the Redskins have to do is kind of keep 0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.240 it close. The Bills aren't gonna score a lot of 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:15.520 points even against a bad Redskins defense. The Redskins have 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:19.880 actually been playing better of late than the team in Buffalo. 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.200 Think about that for a second. I mean they won one. Uh, 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.480 they did beat the Dolphins, but they played the forty 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.480 niners and even though it's a rain game, they only 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.679 lost that game nine and nothing. That the Vikings were 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.120 the appointed last week, the Redskins matched them punch for 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.720 punch until case Keendom got hurt, and that was in Minnesota. 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.560 So I'm gonna take the road team Buffalo. I love 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:46.000 getting the points. Certainly in this spot, you gotta take it. 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:50.319 Bills will win, but they won't cover. Bills twenty, Redskins thirteen. 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:57.800 Penny's going with the Bills. Here we go, Buffalo, Here 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.640 we go Buffalo. All right, NFC four and four at 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:06.600 Carolina four and three. It's on CBS with Greg Gumble 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.640 and Trent Green on the call. The Panthers opened a 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:11.760 four and a half point favorite. They are favored by 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:15.040 three and a half. This game will be played at 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.320 Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. It will be sunny 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:22.480 in fifty five degrees in the Carolinas at kickoff. I'm 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.439 gonna take the home team here, Carolina, and I don't 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.439 love it because of the hook, but I'm gonna take Carolina. 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:31.400 The Panthers, I would think, are still suffering from PTSD 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.880 after that horror show against the forty Niners last week. 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:37.920 It was a death plunge off a cliff of of 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.679 competition and they were right there in the slaughterhouse for 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:45.520 Kyle Allen to be that baffle. I know the Niners 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:49.400 have a good defense, but Kyle Allen was completely thunderstruck 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.760 in that game. That is I mean, that was his chance. 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.040 That was a chance. Now, I believe this week for 0:09:56.160 --> 0:10:00.720 Carolina this is a redemption situation in the Titans are 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.360 not that great. They're an average NFL team. If Carolina 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.520 is an average NFL teams, I think there's an even matchup. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:08.920 The Panthers have had nine touchdown drives that have lasted 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:12.480 under two minutes this season. That's that's more than any 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.680 other team in the NFL, which shows you are able 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:17.280 to quickly move the ball. They've also had some benefit 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.120 of turnovers, so it certainly helps when you don't have 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:21.880 to take that much time off the clock and go 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:25.040 down to score. Now, Tennessee got a gift a couple 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.760 of weeks ago against the Chargers when Melvin Gordon fumbled 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.439 at the goal line. And I understand they're not as 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.840 wretched with Ryan Tannehill under center. But let's not call 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:40.720 him some kind of virtuoso, some kind of genius quarterback. 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.440 He does not tip the scales from me. He's had 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.280 some beginner's luck against the Chargers and Buccaneers. You would 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.480 think Carolina is gonna be a more difficult game here. 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:55.200 I expect Kyle Allen to bounce back. I don't trust Tannehill. 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.600 It's gonna be a close game. I realized the Panthers 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:00.880 of the favorite here, but I say they get a 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:09.880 late touchdown and that's enough. Panthers Titans one Penny going 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:12.960 with Caroline as well. Be sure to catch live editions 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.560 of The Ben Miller Show weekdays at two am Eastern 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:19.439 eleven pm Pacific. Spenny Versus the Penny. Next up, Chicago 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.680 three and four at phil Delphia four and four. Alright, 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.520 guess n we're playing the Dick Stockton game. Is this 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.959 the Dick Stockton game? No, I don't think he Oh, 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:32.000 he can't be on this game? Is that your final 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.240 answer is? Yeah, it's my final answers. Not on this game. 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:38.080 You have failed the Dick stoctor. Dick Stockton and Mark 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:41.680 slay Wrath have the call on Fox from Philly, and 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.000 so Stockton will be eating a tasty cake in one 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:47.360 hand and a cheese steak and the other checking this 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:51.200 game out. The Eagles opened a three point favorite. You 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.240 see what the line is now, Yes, it's not it's 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.520 not pretty. It's well, it's gone up. It's if Philly 0:11:56.600 --> 0:12:01.080 is favored by five? Why I know it mostly sunny 0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.920 fifty one degrees at kickoff at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday. 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.280 I I'm taking the Bears here. I don't I don't 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:09.200 get this line. This is no. One of those points spreads. 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.920 I look at us and what they have for these people? Think? Now, 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:13.960 I understand Mitch Drabinsky is deep in the in the 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:17.600 weeds here and he's he's so upside down that did 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:19.560 you see the story the other day? He's decided to 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:23.079 study his game tape from the TV broadcast rather than 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.600 the All twenty two, which they normally watch. Maybe it's 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.400 because he wants to listen to a guy like Tony 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:31.320 Romo who's predicting plays and assignments, and he needs some 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.600 some extra help along the way. Shouldn't every quarterback know 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.800 that stuff? I mean, isn't that If you're a pro quarterback, 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.040 you should know that right thing? But there are certain 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.640 quarterbacks in the NFL that need the extra help. Well, 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.840 you do not have to be Adam Schefter, J Glazer 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.760 any in any other NFL insider to know that. This 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:50.400 tells you how out of whack the Bears quarterback is. 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:54.760 And Matt Naggy who gets shots thrown at him deservedly so, 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.160 and the rest of that Bears team they deserve better. 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.959 That franchise traded a hunch to get Mr Dbiski as 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.560 he highly ranked quarterback, and he has not lived up 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.600 to his end of the bargain. He is not. Now 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.160 that said, the reason, the real reason I'm taking the 0:13:09.160 --> 0:13:11.560 Bears here is that defense, the defense of the real deal. 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.480 And Philadelphia. Here's a fun fact about the Eagles. Eagles 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.160 are four and oh this season. When they score at 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:20.280 least thirty points, they're oh and four when they don't 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.120 get to that mark. Do you think they're gonna score 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:26.320 thirty against the Chicago Bears. I do not. I do not. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.880 And and and then there's also a lot of money on 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:33.000 Philly and I generally, when I can, I like to 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:34.920 be on the side of the bookmaker. I like to 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:36.240 be the side of the house. I think it's a 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:39.080 better side to be on. And the Eagles, I don't 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.000 trust them. They have been one of these teams so 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.320 far the five hundred. They'll take a step forward, take 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.800 two steps back, take two steps forward, take two steps back. 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:51.600 Helter skelter underperformers. He played spineless football against the Cowboys. 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:54.000 Then they come back to the thrown haymakers against the Bills. 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:58.120 It's been that kind of a jitterbug for them all 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:01.640 season long. So my theory is that they cannot handle 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:05.280 any prolonged sustained success. Uh you have a lot of 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:09.360 noise from the locker room. Carson wains is the he's 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:13.160 a better quarterback, but that in this Chicago's defense kind 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:18.400 of equals that out. Plus, this is a revenge you 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:19.720 look at the mental part of game. This is a 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.280 revenge spot for Chicago. How did they their season end 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.400 last year? They lost to Philadelphia in a double joint 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.800 kick in the playoffs. So there's a chance a little redemption. 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:30.360 Uh So I'm gonna take the Bears plus the points. 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.120 I think the Eagle's actually win it, but I'm gonna 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.800 take the Bears and the points. Eagles twenty seven, Bears 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:40.720 twenty six. This goes against everything you mentioned the earlier 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:44.640 podcast about momentum. There's no such thing. Pain is going 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.680 with the Philadelphia Eagles. Book it. Okay, you want to 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:52.160 bet like between us is men. Yeah we can like 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:56.120 the Bears plus five done Philidel Philadelphia wins. You owe 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.080 me a Phillip cheesteak. Yeah, all right, you coming to 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.440 the Mallar Mansion. No no, no no, no, no, no, I 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.920 actually want like something edible, something that's dead, not alive. 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:08.040 Let me tell something stupid. Okay, let me tell something 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:13.600 My homemade Philly cheese steak is better than a restaurant 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.480 Philly cheese. I don't live in South Philly, but I 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:19.320 have mastered you on many YouTube videos. I've watched people 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:23.720 making cheese steak authentic places in Philly. I will challenge 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.600 my cheese steak against any man, woman, or child in 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.440 the kitchen. So I would have to drive to Siberia 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.560 to Arizona to eat a Philly cheese steak. No, what's 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:36.800 wrong with that? I'll even give you one in a 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:39.560 doggie bag. No, you like dog food, We'll do you 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.800 Philly cheese steak from Fat Seals. How about that? Ye 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:52.800 wad like you just lost your bets? Wow.

Wow. Wow. Alright, Minnesota 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:12.240 six and two at Canesa City five and three's on Fox. 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.920 You better watch. Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis, the voice 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.840 of Madden, have the call now. The Chiefs opened up 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:21.720 a three and a half point favorite. They are favorite 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.640 by two at this time. Kansas City, Everybody two it's 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:28.640 at Arrowheads, Sonny and fifty two kickoff in one of 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.280 my favorite cities, can Is City. So first of all, 0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:33.920 I'm I'm gonna take the Vikings. This is a week 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:37.160 for Dalvin Cook to star, to be the leading man 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.360 the Chiefs run defense. To say it's bad isn't understand. 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.880 It's an abomination. Kansas City is thirtieth in yards allowed 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.240 per carry, So I would imagine since Mike Zimmer is 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.760 not a moron and at Dingleberry, he's gonna mix and 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:55.480 match a balanced offense, but a lean towards the running game. 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.840 And the Vikings have had some extra time to get 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:03.640 They played last Thursday against Washington, so a couple extra 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.560 days to get those cracks out of the body and 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:09.520 all that. It was a sloppy game, unforced errors there. 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.800 Statistically they played fine, but the eyeball test was not 0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:14.440 very good for the Vikings. So I expect him to 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.560 play a more complete, cleaner game this week. And secondly, 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:19.240 I know Andy Reid at the time we're recording the 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:24.760 podcast has intimated that Patrick Mahomes could play. He's listed 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:28.280 as uncertain. I think there's no chance that Mahomes plays 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:30.639 in this game, so when I handicapped the game, I 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.560 handicapped the game believing that Matt Moore is going to 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:39.600 play and more was out of this world for the Chiefs, 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.199 all the planets aligned. In his debut, he was matching 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:46.439 Aaron Rodgers throw for throw for most of that game. 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.679 Some of that was, you say, beginner's luck. I do 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:54.320 think first time starters usually do pretty well historically after 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.439 not playing a long time. But I'm a big believer 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:01.400 in the purple people, eaters, defense, buy into at Vikings 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:04.800 are third in the NFL defensively, their tenth offensively as 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:08.880 far as scoring is concerned. So with no Mahomes, no 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:13.960 win for Casey, I'm taking the Vikings thirty in the 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:20.639 Chiefs twenty three. Penny going that way as well with Minnesota. 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.000 All right, next up the oh This is a big 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:26.679 game here, New York Jets one in six at the 0:18:26.720 --> 0:18:31.920 Miami Dolphins all in seven. This is a big game. Yeah, 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.200 we need them to go to oh and eight the Dolphins. Yeah, 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.560 every year I root for a team to go perfect 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.720 in reverse. Yeah I like that too, That's that's I 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.000 get joy out of that. Also, so this is on CBS, 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.800 you imagine has to call this game on pigs. I'm 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:51.320 gonna say Spirodidas ding Nick Nick Nick Ning, Yeah, you win. 0:18:51.359 --> 0:18:53.880 The Spirodidas game. Spirit is former voice of the Lakers 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:57.439 and the Knicks with Adam Archiletta, my old TV buddy, 0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.640 and they will be calling this game. Good luck to them. 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:01.760 A lot of a lot of filler I'm imagining here, 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.600 but like you said, even the bad games have an 0:19:04.600 --> 0:19:06.680 opportunity to make some money on I'm guessing a lot 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:11.880 of b roll from Don Shula and Joan Yeah, Joe Namath, 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:16.520 Mark Duper Yeah. All right, So the Jets opened up 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.080 a six and that point favorite. They're favorite by five. 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:23.399 Now typical Miami weather, thunderstorms, eighty five degrees that kickoff 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:27.639 at hard Rock Stadium in South Florida. I am going 0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:31.040 to take oh boy, I'm gonna take the Dolphins here. 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:32.560 And now the reason I've been up, I've been bet 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:34.840 against the Dolphins all that the Dolphins have shown more 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.200 of a pulse lately than the Jets. They've actually covered 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.760 the last couple of games. And and now the way 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.119 the Dolphins playing lately, they scratched and claw for about 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:45.520 a half, about a half and then they go into 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:47.640 surrender mode like a French soldier, and they drop out 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:49.880 of site either in the third quarter of the fourth quarter, 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:53.399 like they did last week against uh Pittsburgh, where they 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:54.919 really only played well in the first quarter. They had 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:57.159 a fourteen nothing leading this that that game. But they 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.359 they've covered the last couple of games. This is I 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:03.160 would call the dysentery Bowl. I think that's a good 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.560 name for the dysenterry Bowl. Uh, there's no juice to it. 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.520 This should be broadcast on the dark web is where 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:12.360 it should be broadcast. Check this out. The Dolphins are 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:15.360 averaging eleven points per game. The Jets are averaging eleven 0:20:15.400 --> 0:20:19.400 point one points per game, and they're the NFL's worst 0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:23.879 scoring teams this season. The last time we got to 0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:28.200 November or later and two teams averaging under twelve points 0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:35.880 played each other was nineteen seventy two, almost fifty years ago, 0:20:35.960 --> 0:20:40.240 when the Eagles and Oilers played About that. How perfect 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:44.400 nineteen seventy two last team that was undefeated as well. 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:49.040 Look at that Everything's people Patternicity by David Gista Patternicity. Uh, 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:51.840 Sam Donald has the yips. He's played like you know, 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:53.680 he's played like he's played like a cat on a 0:20:53.680 --> 0:20:58.600 hot tin roof, anxious, unable to sit still, relax seeing 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.879 stuff that's not there. These teams both blow uh and 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:05.159 they're as good as the stuff on the floor of 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:08.760 a porta potty. But you gotta pick somebody. And I say, 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:10.879 this will just be the worst game on the world, 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:13.320 in the world. So I'm gonna take the points, figuring 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:15.520 it's a close game because the Jets also are gonna 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.840 be trying to screw this up. So Jets twelve Dolphins 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:24.919 ninepending going the other way with the Jets. Next up, 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:29.440 Indianapolis five and two at Pittsburgh. It's on CBS. I 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.440 An Eagle and Dan Fouts have the call. The game 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.440 opened up and pick them now a culture favored by 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:37.760 one and and this is a game that I went 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:39.720 back and forth on. Now. The weather is gonna be 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:43.280 mostly cloudy, thirty nine degrees at kickoff at Hines Field. 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.040 And this is one of the hardest games for me 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:48.880 to handicap. And I'll tell you what, all right, because 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:51.239 you look at it on the surface, you said, well, 0:21:51.240 --> 0:21:54.320 you picked the Coals five and two Pittsburgh's three and four. 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.320 They were trailing at against the Dolphins for much of 0:21:57.400 --> 0:21:59.880 that game. They didn't play well against Miami last week. 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:03.720 So it's easy, easy piece. Just take the Colts. That's it. 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:07.480 We're good. I'm done, see you later. Uh. And then 0:22:07.760 --> 0:22:09.600 the more I looked at the numbers and I was 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:13.719 getting into the in the grass. Uh, not that kind 0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:16.720 of grass, but the high grass. I said, now I 0:22:16.760 --> 0:22:18.200 gotta go the other way. I don't, I gotta go. 0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.480 I gotta take. I gotta take the Steelers here. So 0:22:20.520 --> 0:22:23.399
