Also gotten a lot of questions about a contest. 33 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: Because this show came together so quickly, we cannot organize 34 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: a contest for this season. Doesn't matter. Simon and I 35 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: have always built the show around landing on five picks 36 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: that we will put into contests that we play.

I skipped right over the Niner Seahawks 58 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: first show jitters. My bad. Luckily, it's an really important 59 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: game for one of our categorized picks, so we will 60 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: get to it today. I apologize, but first Simon, we 61 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: need to check in with something brand new. It's the 62 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: Last Guy Highline. 63 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Chaz. 64 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 3: A lot of phone calls obviously, you know, people excited 65 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 3: for the first week of the season, and you know, 66 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 3: run around all these sportsbooks talking on these guys, especially 67 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 3: the last twenty four hours. Just so many opinions on 68 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 3: our picks and where we're at and what we like 69 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: and we don't like. Let's start with what they hate, right, 70 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 3: Let's just get the bad out out of the way first. 71 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: But I kind of knew this first one was coming. 72 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 3: We were on the Commanders. I know a ton of 73 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 3: pros who are the ones betting this Giants number down. 74 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: They like this matchup for the Giants. I know all 75 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: the stuff about dan Quinn week one. I believe he's 76 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 3: one and four against the spread as a head coach. Okay, 77 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 3: I get it right. Maybe it is a dan quin thing. 78 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 3: He under prepares his team. They struggle in week one. 79 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 3: You know the Giants, though, to me, too much is 80 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 3: being made of the Russell Wilson being their quarterback. Is 81 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: if he's going to fix that team. Where I feel 82 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 3: like me and you've dived into it, that offensive line 83 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: with the injuries and the bad drafts and everything like that. 84 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: Over the years, it's caught up to him. 85 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: They just don't have the offensive line to protect quarterbacks 86 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 3: and have an effective offense. And you know, Neighbors, he's 87 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 3: been banged up coming this matchup as well. So yeah, 88 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: that's a game. We'll dive into more, I'm sure, but 89 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 3: that one jumped out right away. The big one I 90 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 3: was really surprised about. But you know, makes sense. I 91 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: guess when you really dive into it is that Green 92 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: Bay Detroit game, right I. 93 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: Knew you were going to say that. 94 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: I knew you were going. 95 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: To say that. 96 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 3: I know, and I knew when you were doing it. 97 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 3: I was like, this is the most public dogs. 98 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 1: You were hesitant, and we're going to dive deeper into it. 99 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 2: I don't care, I told them, I don't care. 100 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 3: Like I get where they're coming from, and this in 101 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 3: certain circumstance, I agree with them. But I think we're 102 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 3: both on the same page. And this Green Bay team 103 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 3: is overrated right now. Too much smoke's being pumped up 104 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 3: their asses, and on the flip side, too much hate 105 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: is being thrown at those Lions team in disrespect about 106 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: the loss of the corners which we agreed with. We 107 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 3: do think they will be taking a step back because 108 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 3: the coordinator losses, but the talent, the talent is so unbelievable. 109 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 3: It's no yeah, but these are wide receivers. The Detroit 110 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 3: guys are established, unlike the Green Bay guys. So again 111 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to us to diving that one more 112 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 3: because that was again not just one or two phone calls, 113 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 3: a lot of guys being like, don't let Chad take 114 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: you down this dark path, and I'm done with them. 115 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 3: I want it, So yeah, I can't wait to break 116 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 3: down that one. For the loves love the Ravens. The 117 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: guys love the Ravens, and we've seen that reflect that 118 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 3: this member is flipped at most books. So I still 119 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 3: like it. I'm sure you still like. I still think 120 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 3: it's a good number. But obviously plus one and a 121 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 3: half you can still get that contest. Wise, how do 122 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: you not auto play that number? We just will dive 123 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 3: into the Ravens war But that one did not shock me. 124 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 3: The pros love that, you know, the Browns another one 125 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 3: we'll talk about more. They just it's the same thing 126 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 3: we're reviewing that it's just an overinflated line. They're the 127 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 3: same thing as us. I feel like we all feel 128 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 3: the same as we could get a bad Joe Flacco. 129 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: That is our fear, probably with that Browns number. 130 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 3: I think most pros I've talked to that's the only 131 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 3: thing we're hesitant about. But I was shocked the overwhelming 132 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 3: support about our Browns pick, just because I thought it 133 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 3: was gonna be. 134 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 2: Again it's a big board. I thought people to avoid. 135 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 3: This one, but people tend to really love that Browns 136 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: pick in the last one the New York Jets, the 137 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 3: love of the Jets. 138 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 2: It's real. I know you're a little hesitant on it. 139 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 3: On Tuesday, we'll talk more about it, maybe come around 140 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 3: on it, but the boys love it. Like again, I 141 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: was hoping it was getting I didn't want to act 142 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: too excited about because I was hoping we would get 143 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 3: a three and a half. It's gone the other way. 144 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: The three is gone. So that was a game that 145 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 3: I loved. I was trying to play cool. I think 146 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 3: people could read through it and could see that that's 147 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 3: that's just a nice number in a nice spot for 148 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 3: a team that's gonna be really gritty, And we talked 149 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: about it, right, it's Pittsburgh on the road his favorite. 150 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: So that's the game. I'm sure we're gonna break down more. 151 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 3: But yeah, again, I forgot to mention this one. The 152 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: only other game I really got heat from was that 153 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 3: Falcons Bucks game, so we can talk about that one 154 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 3: as well. But again, I knew that was chalk coming 155 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: in like that's a public play for sure. The number 156 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 3: has now come down, I believe to one and a 157 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 3: half in most books. So yeah, money's coming on to 158 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 3: Atlanta team. But I'm excited to see where you saying 159 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: still on this Thursday show with that game. 160 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I haven't chased it yet, but I do want 161 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: to dig into it. And I'm surprised. Let's let's get 162 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: into all the games that we were sort of of 163 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: trying to narrow down to and do a little bit 164 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: more research on. I'm surprised no one mentioned the Raiders 165 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: and the Patriots, And to me, I said it on Tuesday. 166 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: Discipline is the name of the game here, assignmon. If 167 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: we are doing our Sunday morning show and we are 168 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: talking ourselves into betting the Raiders at plus two and 169 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: a half, shame on us. Now, between the time we 170 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: did our show on Tuesday and today the line did 171 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: move up to three for a hot second, I grabbed 172 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: it at plus three, the only two bets I've really 173 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: made so far, Browns and Raiders, and because I'm still 174 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 1: nervous about the rest of them. 175 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: Oh man, I know, but. 176 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: I mean, look, the Patriots are getting so much hype 177 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: right now. I'm getting alerts from ESPN NFL insiders talking 178 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: about the Patriots as a playoff team. Are you guys 179 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: kidding me? Like, if this gets a three, it's a 180 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 1: no brainer, zero zero concerns. 181 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 2: I'm with you. I like the number. I told you. 182 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: I'm not trying to get too attached to like I 183 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 3: have my mentality of I'm gonna have times where I'm 184 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 3: going to be able to ride with this Raiders team 185 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 3: in better spots in the flip side of the Patriots. 186 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: I hope, honestly they win this game, even though I 187 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 3: am on the Raiders plus three because our week two 188 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 3: line that's gonna get like you just said, the media hype, 189 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 3: we're gonna get a two or three free point bump, 190 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 3: which again we're both I feel like in lockstep here 191 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: of this Patriots team that I think they'll be better, 192 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 3: But I think it is overinflated the hype and you 193 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 3: know it's gotten too far this other way. And you know, 194 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 3: big thing people are talking about is Chris Gonzalez. You 195 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 3: know they're number one, shut down corner, little banged up 196 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: that's huge in this matchup that I mean, let's let's 197 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 3: face it, the Raiders, they're not beating people with defense 198 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 3: this year. They're beating people because they're gonna have a 199 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 3: high powered offense. That's the hope with Gino here. So yeah, 200 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 3: I'm just I told you I'm trying to get suck 201 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 3: to it, suck too much into this game because I 202 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 3: am so high on this Raiders team, and like you said, 203 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 3: the plus three we got to take it. So I 204 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 3: don't know if we'll take a contest because I believe 205 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 3: it will be two and a half almost at all 206 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 3: contest lines. But you know we could get lucky, right 207 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 3: if Gonzales gets cleared, you know, late line movement, this 208 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 3: could get to three, three and a half. So we'll see, 209 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 3: because I do think he is worth half a point 210 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 3: to this Patriot's number, like that sound important? He is 211 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 3: as a lockdown corner, he takes away half the field, 212 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 3: So yeah, to me, that's a big thing if you're 213 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 3: waiting on If you're like chat here and you already 214 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 3: got the three, you can just be patient now and 215 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 3: wait on it. 216 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 2: You got the best number. 217 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 3: If you're out there and you're still stuck at two 218 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 3: and a half of your main book and you can't 219 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: shop around, your state doesn't work that way. 220 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 2: That's the only book you can really use. Just wait, 221 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: be patient. 222 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 3: If Gonzales gets cleared, I guarantee you this will get 223 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: back to three. 224 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: We need a late run. We need a late run 225 00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: from the market on the Patriots, all right, Cincinnati at Cleveland. 226 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: This number at the hard Rock is five, and it's 227 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: been moving in that direction pretty much all week. And 228 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: this was your as Simon says, I love it too. 229 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: I think it's going to make our contest play likely 230 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: at five and a half or five, no matter what 231 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: the contest line is. I asked you the other day, 232 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: what do we have to do? And this is before 233 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: I knew it was going to be your Simon says, 234 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 1: I just knew that I was targeting this game as 235 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: a Chad loves Love before you stole my heart? What 236 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: do we have to believe to bet the Browns, which 237 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: is essentially asking what do we think the narrative for 238 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: this game is going to be? And we know what 239 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: Kevin Stefanski wants the narrative for this game to be. 240 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: We know he wants his pass rush to dominate Gate 241 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: dominating it's a terrible offensive line. We know he wants 242 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 1: his veteran quarterback to play within the system, which when 243 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: he has quarterbacks who can play within his system, Kevin 244 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: Stevanski has proven to be very successful, and we know 245 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 1: he's going to run the ball and Jerome Ford is 246 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 1: a running back who's going to get most of the carries. 247 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: He was one of the most explosive backs in the 248 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: NFL last year. So while he's not a household name, 249 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: there is quality in the backfield. I can't find a 250 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: reason not to like the Browns. I just feel like 251 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: I like him more and more. 252 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, I'll just start it right from the top. 253 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 3: If people don't remember, I'm gonna beach to the death 254 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 3: of this trend twenty four to seven against the spread, 255 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 3: seventy seven percent since two thousand and nine home divisional dogs. 256 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 3: So it's it's it's the history. The historical data backs 257 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 3: it up. But we're also talking about how we like 258 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 3: this matchup. That's where like people are not I think 259 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 3: are overlooking here. What Chad is noiled is it's a 260 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 3: huge discrepancy between the D line and the O line 261 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 3: of this Cleveland Brown's defense compared to the Cincinnati Bengals 262 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 3: offensive line. And I agree there's ways they can encounter, right, 263 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 3: they can start running quick passes, screens and other things 264 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 3: like that. But when I turn it the other way, 265 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 3: like Chad just talked about with Flak in the Stefanski offense, 266 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 3: we saw them be successful. They made it to the 267 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 3: playoffs together, and when you look at it, it's an 268 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 3: offense that when it's balanced, it's at its best. Right, 269 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 3: they need want to be a team that can run 270 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 3: the ball, And do I know Ford's the answer, I don't, 271 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 3: But they also have you know, they have two different 272 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,599 Speaker 3: rookies they drafted. We don't know who's gonna be the 273 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 3: guy there, but I think there's gonna be a semblance 274 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 3: of a run game. Then when they really didn't have 275 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 3: that last year, they had no run game because they 276 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 3: really did not have a pass can that pushed the 277 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 3: ball downfield. 278 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: They do that. 279 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 3: They have that now Flaco and the fact that Jerry, 280 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 3: Judy and Tillman are two guys on the outside I 281 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 3: think are really talented and they have a good tight end. 282 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 3: It all works for me with this clean team. That's 283 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 3: why again I like they're over four and a half 284 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 3: win total. It's like they're not as bad as people receive, 285 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 3: especially when you know a veteran in the early Flacco 286 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 3: where me and Chatter can be sweating right when he 287 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 3: throws that first pick in the first quarter, it's gonna 288 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 3: be brutal. But unlike a rookie who just creators in 289 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: on themselves, Flecco doesn't care. It's just another day at 290 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 3: the office for Joe Flacco. He does not care. So 291 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 3: to me, that's another thing I like about it, where 292 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 3: it's like he can old with the punches. He's the 293 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 3: type of guy who's been here before and he won't 294 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 3: get flustered by the Bengals in this moment. So, yeah, 295 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 3: you know home dog. In this spot, it's it was six. 296 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: Shout out to the fans. Listen to the show, and 297 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 3: we were able to get the six went to five 298 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 3: and a half. Now here we are twenty four to 299 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 3: forty hours later, and now it's down to five at 300 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 3: most books, so people can tell what the professionals like. 301 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: And yeah, the public again talking to book makers. This 302 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 3: is another money line teaser. Heavily bet team in the 303 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 3: Bengals that you know, people just think it's a guarantee winning. 304 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 2: We know the deal. Joe Burrow. I believe he's one 305 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 2: and four straight up in week one game. 306 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 3: So it's just something the struggled with and they're trying 307 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 3: to combat it having him play in the preseason. But 308 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 3: I think the number is still two over inflating. He 309 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 3: might win this game, but I think will be by 310 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 3: you know, less than three. 311 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: Good old battered Flaco. He's so old now he actually 312 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: is battered Flaco. Shout out Scooch and all the old 313 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: heads who have been listening to the show since the 314 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: ESPN days. New York Giants at Washington, you mentioned this 315 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: is a game that on the Wise Guy Hotline they 316 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: were not fans of our conversation about this game, in 317 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: which we liked Washington at the time, Washington was six. 318 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 1: The lines move in the other direction, Simon, you can 319 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: check in your app. Hard Rock. I think is now 320 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: down to five in this game. Like we know every year, 321 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: we want to be thoughtful about not over indexing indexing 322 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: on the Dogs and the Commanders were trending to be 323 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: one of the teams that you know comes Sunday like, 324 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: if circumstances played out we needed another game, they might 325 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: be a favorite that we like. I get what the 326 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: wise guys are saying, but I look at this Giants team, 327 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: and you said something really important the other day. As 328 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 1: good as their defensive line is Brian Burns and Dexter 329 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: Lawrence and after a Carter right, that's amazing. But Jayden 330 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: Daniels isn't the kind of quarterback who gets flustered in 331 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: the pocket. He's normally the kind of quarterback who finds 332 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 1: a way to escape via a lane on an over 333 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: aggressive pass rush, which I think kind of plays into 334 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: the strengths. Either these guys are going to have to 335 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: be really disciplined, or if they aren't, he's going to 336 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: take advantage of that. So I like that, as you 337 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: said the other day. But also, Andrew Thomas is still 338 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: not fully back from his Liz Frank injury. He was 339 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: limited in practice on Wednesday. There has not been confirmation 340 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: of what his status is going to be for the game. 341 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: He might play, but he might not be full strength. 342 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: This team cratered without Andrew Thomas last year, So I 343 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: get what the wise guys you're thinking. It's a big 344 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 1: number for a division dog, but this team is on 345 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: the road and sometimes you got to bet the talent 346 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 1: and the scheme a little bit. So I'm not hating 347 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: this game as the number gets smaller and smaller. 348 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's just a classic case of the 349 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 3: numbers moved too much for me where I agreed with them. 350 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 3: If this was six and a half, six, I could 351 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 3: be talked into the Giants at that number. But like 352 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 3: you said, now it's down to five. We're getting close 353 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 3: to a four and a half territory. That's that's where 354 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 3: the value is going to be. So to me, I 355 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,160 Speaker 3: have this game at six and a half. I talked 356 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,479 Speaker 3: to pros, we have this a four and a half. 357 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 3: So I'm you know, two point difference is a big 358 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 3: deal when you're when you're booking these games. 359 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: So I get where. 360 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 3: They're coming from in these spots, but I view it 361 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 3: as this Commander's team. They are going to struggle this season, 362 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,159 Speaker 3: in my opinion, against really good and well talented teams. 363 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 2: This is not it. 364 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 3: This is not the type of game they struggle where, yeah, Chad, 365 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 3: we might have a couple fourth down stinkers that we 366 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 3: talked about coming with this Washington team, and the regression 367 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 3: is going to come. So sure, they could go for 368 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 3: it on their own forty on their first opening drive 369 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 3: and it goes the other way. But it's something where 370 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 3: I like betting Daniels like we did last year, yeah, 371 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 3: is that they won't change who they are. They're going 372 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 3: to keep doing what they do. So it's like, Okay, 373 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 3: they didn't work that one time. If they can go 374 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 3: with which they we're doing last year, three for four 375 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 3: and fourth downs, they're going to win the games. And 376 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 3: usually that's what happens, especially last season. So what we're 377 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 3: looking at this year is just you know, I told 378 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 3: you my pause on this is that whole dan Quinn 379 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 3: thing that he does. 380 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 2: His team's historically have struggled in the past. 381 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 3: In his Week one I went back watched, you know, 382 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 3: a really condensed version of that Jane Daniels Bucks game 383 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 3: last year. 384 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 2: Just to see what the deal was. 385 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 3: And to me, it was just a guy's first start 386 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 3: on the road in Week one as a rookie quarterback, 387 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 3: and it's like, I don't know how much I could 388 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 3: take away from this and blame Dan Quinn for this 389 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 3: being a not having team prepared in this exact match. 390 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 2: Even know defense did struggle. We learned later on. 391 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 3: That Book's offense was really high powered, So you know, 392 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 3: I'm not trying to take too much away from it. 393 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 3: I'm trying to steadfast with Chad here on this Commander's team, 394 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 3: but people can see I'm waiving a little bit. There's 395 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 3: other favorites I do like, but then this number keeps moving, 396 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 3: my confidence keeps growing where it's like, Okay, if you 397 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 3: give me four and a half on the Commanders here, 398 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 3: I'm gonna hit it pretty heavy. 399 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,439 Speaker 2: So it is a tough spot. 400 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: Simon comes Sunday. I just wrote this down. I don't 401 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: know how we're not going to have a conversation about 402 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: the Commanders because this number is trending in a direction 403 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: where it's going to be pretty hard to ignore playing 404 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: the four and a half point favorite on a number 405 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: that has moved full two points for what is just 406 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: a much better team. All right, Carolina Jacksonville. I was 407 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 1: kind of glad that the wise guys didn't mention Carolina 408 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:58,239 Speaker 1: Jacksonville in sort of the hotline. This game was at 409 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: three and a half. I left this game in. I 410 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: don't think we're going to bet it like we owe 411 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: it to people to close out the Panthers conversation. Tell 412 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: people that we are not putting in in the contest. 413 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: We may not even bet them. I think they've got 414 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 1: huge issues with wide receiver depth and health and experience 415 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: and targets that can make Bryce Young comfortable. I think 416 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: they've got issues with the defense. Derek Brown is back, 417 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: he missed all of last season. He can be a 418 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: game changer in the run game, but we have no 419 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: idea if he's going to be healthy. Mis's the entire 420 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: season with an injured knee. So that hook is just 421 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: it's like, you know when you're watching vaudeville and they 422 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: got that big wooden stick with the hook at the 423 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: end and they grab the performer by the neck and 424 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: pull them back to the stage. That hook is like 425 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: grabbing me and trying to get me back, and I 426 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 1: just want someone to talk me out of it. I 427 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: want you to talk me out of this. 428 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say it's actually a shaky chad. There 429 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 3: has been convo about this game. I would say a 430 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 3: lot of the pros I've talked to they like Jacksonville. 431 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 3: I think they like them because of what they believe 432 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 3: they're going to be, like, you know, this season, all 433 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 3: of them I think on the same But as you right, 434 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 3: I think in the preseason you talk about how you 435 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 3: like them to win this division. 436 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: You know, AFC South. 437 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 3: They're a sleeper team that a lot of pros like 438 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 3: because they believe you're bringing an offensive genius with all 439 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 3: the weapons. You know, should take Trevor Lawrence, a guy 440 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 3: we both respected coming out of college. 441 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 2: And just as I lived up to that hype. 442 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 3: This could all be it right, it's all lined up 443 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 3: for them. So you already talked about there's a there's 444 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 3: areas of talent discrepancy here, Like Jacksonville is better team overall. 445 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 2: They're better defensively at certain positions. 446 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 3: Offensively, they're a more complete team, you know. 447 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 2: Better weapons. 448 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 3: So I agree with you, like I'm I'm happy that 449 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 3: we can actually stay away from this one because I 450 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 3: am like you. It's like, I really want to take 451 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 3: the three and a half because it's Stillville. At the 452 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 3: end of the day, it is the Jaguars, and you know, 453 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 3: they could easily just melt under this new offensive system 454 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 3: and have you know total dysfunction Where this is year 455 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 3: two for Bryce shawng in this offense, he should be 456 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 3: way more comfortable and prepared in this exact spot. So 457 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 3: to me, all the factors of it, it's like, I'm 458 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 3: happy we're alh forceing this winning because again, there's other games. 459 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 3: It's my first Sunday of the year. I want to 460 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 3: be watching other games than Panthers Jaguars. So I'm happy 461 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 3: we can skip this one so I can enjoy my 462 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:29,640 Speaker 3: Browns and Bengals. 463 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, Like I know you said you've got 464 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of bets already. I feel like I 465 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: want to go a little bit lighter in week one, 466 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: Like it's so unknown. I've got a lot of opinions, 467 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: but nothing is backed up by real data and what 468 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 1: my eyes have seen yet. So I feel like, even 469 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: though I've got games I love, I'm playing a little 470 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: bit more conservative. By the way, Travis Hunter will be 471 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: starting a wide receiver. His current total are four and 472 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: a half receptions forty seven and a half receiving yards. 473 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: You are a sneaky good player. Prop better we don't 474 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 1: talk about it. A ton just because we focus so 475 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: much on side. Do you have any opinions on Travis 476 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 1: Hunter and his receiving total and his reception total and 477 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: his receiving are total. 478 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 2: I don't know what to say. 479 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 3: I feel like I'm just such a hater of him, 480 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 3: and I hate that I'm a hater because I want 481 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 3: him to I want it to work out. 482 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 2: But no, you can't. I would. 483 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 3: I would not be betting any over of his props, 484 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 3: any of that stuff. I still think it's I don't 485 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 3: even know if they totally know what they're doing with 486 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 3: them yet, where they're like, we got this insane weapon, 487 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 3: but we don't know how to use it because it's 488 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 3: it's never been done before. 489 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 2: And again my opinion has been shared, there's I just don't. 490 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 3: Think it works. There's no way it works. He doesn't 491 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 3: have the body frame for it doesn't. I just I 492 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 3: can't see it working him laying hits and taking hits 493 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 3: for a full season the way his body is built currently. 494 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 3: It doesn't. It doesn't make sense. That's why all these 495 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 3: people are comparing to Otani. If you guys ever seen Otani, 496 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 3: This dude is six six. It looks like in just 497 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 3: three hundred pounds of muscle. Like, it's just a different world. 498 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 3: So I'm excited for him, but yeah, for me being 499 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 3: the guy IM, I'll take his underprop, but I will 500 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 3: bet his touchdown prop because certain books you can finagle it. 501 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 3: Some books do have fine writing. If you get to 502 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 3: pick six, it counts towards the defense. Some books don't though. 503 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 3: Some some books will count of pick six as a touchdown. 504 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 3: So it's just an extra edge to play. If he 505 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 3: is going to play a couple of reps at cornerback, 506 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:40,239 Speaker 3: I'll take that upside for week one. 507 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 2: It's just a fun bet to make. 508 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 3: But he has the hatering me. Yes, under four and 509 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 3: a half. I just do not think he'll be the 510 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 3: number one focal point of this offense. I still think 511 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 3: it's Brian Thompson Junior. 512 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: Brian Thomas good, look, good, good, lesson study the house rules. 513 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: I'm putting Miami and Indy in there right now. It's 514 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: a minus one at you might as wanted hard rock bet. 515 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: I know we aren't doing it. I just want to 516 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: know if I could tempt you like the line is moving. 517 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: Remember it was at one and a half. There's some 518 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: places where it's at a half right now, it's moving 519 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 1: in the Dolphins direction. Anything about this in which I 520 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: could tempt you? Do you think everything is just this 521 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: is so public, it's so sad that I'm even bringing 522 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: it up. 523 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, and shockingly though no one's no pros I know 524 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 3: really are pounding the table for Daniel Jones. Is this 525 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 3: cold team? I know a couple guys I like them, 526 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 3: like me season long. Like we talked about how I thought, 527 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 3: you know, if they take Daniel Jones over Anthony Richerson 528 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 3: just for this season, yeah, I think that's better as 529 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 3: a better I don't think it's long term better for 530 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 3: your franchise, but yeah, for me, looking at this line, 531 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 3: it's it's the classic case of I'm with you, Chad 532 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 3: that It's it's Miami indoors facing a team that I 533 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 3: don't know if they can expose their weakness. Miami's bigger 534 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 3: weakness is the offensive line could be an absolute train wreck, 535 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 3: and their secondary like just two things that are I mean, 536 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 3: everyone's model is different. My model has them both as 537 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 3: bottom thirty, so like thirty one thirty two. That's what 538 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 3: I'm great at. Their offensive line, they're defensive backs. 539 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 2: Could that change? Obviously after Week one. 540 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 3: Right, if this new offensive line puts it together and 541 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 3: actually work well together, that does happen. 542 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 2: D backs not so much. 543 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 3: Usually these guys are what they are, right, especially a 544 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 3: team like them who they're all in the market shopping 545 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 3: defensive backs. But again we're talking about can the Colts 546 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 3: expose that? I don't think so, So I'm getting there 547 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 3: with you, chatw It's like, this is the type of 548 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 3: matchup to indoors in a controlled environment against a defense 549 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 3: that can be passed on. Everyone's healthy, he's healthy. You 550 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 3: can get me there if you want to make it 551 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 3: one of your picks, but it would not be one 552 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 3: of mine. So that's where that's where a little differ. 553 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 3: But yeah, I got no money invested in this game yet. 554 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 3: I'm undecided, but I'm leaning way more towards Miami side 555 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 3: than I was Colts a couple weeks ago. 556 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: All Right, well, guess what Miami is going on the 557 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: list to talk about on Sunday morning?

They're fantastic group and they're they're crushing it 595 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: all right. Pittsburgh at New York Jets, this game was 596 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: at three. We were talking about it on Tuesday. Guess what, 597 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: As you mentioned Simon right now at hard Rock Bet, 598 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: it said Jets plus two and a half. The wise 599 00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: guys have come running for that three. Lush, I can't 600 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,479 Speaker 1: argue with you. I'm leaning that way. It just feels 601 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 1: like the move to make just to question what the 602 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: line is going to be for us on Sunday when 603 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 1: we make the picks. But what do you think of 604 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 1: it at two and a half. 605 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 3: I still play it still, We'll still play at two 606 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 3: and a half, but obviously we'd love it at three 607 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 3: because that's that's the safest number. But it's just a 608 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 3: matchup of two teams that I think the general public 609 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 3: and bookmakers come into the season, viewed them differently, and 610 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 3: their win towards reflected that. 611 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 2: Where I've talked. 612 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 3: About it, like them the Jets, the Patriots to Pittsburgh, 613 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 3: all these teams, to me, they're all the same team, 614 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 3: like they all have strengths and glaring weaknesses and it's 615 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 3: all gonna come down a coach editor, Right. That's why 616 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 3: Tomlin's the unicorn of getting his bad teams the nine 617 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 3: and eight, And like I get it, their fans are 618 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 3: sick of it in Pittsburgh, but you talk to about 619 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,719 Speaker 3: eighty percent of football fan bases, they will take that 620 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 3: Timelin existence every time, because yes, we all. 621 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 2: Want to win playoff games in Super Bowls. 622 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 3: But ind of the day, you just want a competitive 623 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 3: team that wins games and makes the playoffs. 624 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 2: Like that's that's the goal from us all these teams 625 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 2: the end of the day. 626 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 3: So looking at just this matchup, you know the three, 627 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 3: I love that number. 628 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 2: I did not think it was gonna come down. 629 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 3: I just I didn't really think pros would put heavy 630 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 3: money into this game because the unknown. 631 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 2: It's just so much unknown right now about this Jets team. 632 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 3: Where you know, I felt confidently professional betters would take 633 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh and they would take it at this exact number 634 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 3: two and a half, like they I thought some guys 635 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 3: got as soon as I saw this move. I reach 636 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 3: out to people because people don't understand a lot of 637 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 3: line movement is fake. It's not fake, but it is 638 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 3: where it's like guys will come in on one side, 639 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 3: move a number, and then bet really really heavy on 640 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 3: the other side, and that happens more often than you'd believe. 641 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 2: This is not one of the circumstances which I honestly 642 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 2: thought I was going to be. 643 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 3: It's it's now been about twenty four hours, it's been 644 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 3: stuck at two and a half. So yeah, I think 645 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 3: we might be able to get back to three each 646 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 3: at but I do think more professional money will come 647 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 3: in on this Jets team to get closer, just because 648 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 3: so many things line up for this team where they 649 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 3: do have a good defense matchup wise against what this 650 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh offense wants to do. And then you know, say 651 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 3: what you want about Pittsburgh, their defense can be mitigated. 652 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,520 Speaker 3: You know, TJ can be mitigated if you can run 653 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 3: the ball and you have a running quarterback, Like, there's 654 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 3: ways to attack them with that exact style of offense. 655 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 3: So yeah, a game that I think people weren't excited 656 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 3: to watch, but. 657 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 2: Someone like me, I really love this game. I love this. 658 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,400 Speaker 3: Matchup, but it's gonna be in the four box like 659 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,680 Speaker 3: Justin Field's revenge game, Aaron Rodgers revenge game. Yeah, that's 660 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 3: the media talk of this me. It's it's Aaron Glenn 661 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 3: versus Tomlin. Like, I love these two head coaches and 662 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 3: I'm excited to see this step a matchup because I 663 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 3: just can't get over how good Aaron Glenn was defensively 664 00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 3: with that Lion's team and now he's got, you know, 665 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 3: just as good as weapons here with this jetsam excited 666 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 3: to see what we can do, especially in this So, yeah, 667 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,000 Speaker 3: chet another game where I don't know if we'll get there. Like, 668 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 3: I don't know how confident I am doing two and 669 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,720 Speaker 3: a half in our contest. But people betting wise three, 670 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,719 Speaker 3: you have to grab that three if you pops and 671 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 3: you're just you're with us that this is going to 672 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 3: be type of game. It's gonna be ugly, it's gonna 673 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 3: be growing. No one's winning this game by more than 674 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 3: three Jets or Pittsburgh. So I think three is such 675 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 3: a key number in this matchup. 676 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like, we're not going to get emotional about 677 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,959 Speaker 1: these things on Sunday, and we're not gonna get lazy, 678 00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: and we're going to remember all of our notes. I'm 679 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: making all the notes. We're gonna remember every conversation. We're 680 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 1: not gonna let like a late line move or a 681 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: late injury or a late noise distract us like late 682 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: wise guy conversations that are happening in the sports book 683 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: at three thirty in the morning on Sunday. We're not 684 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: getting distracted Simon. Okay, I'm putting the Jets down, but 685 00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: we're only doing it if it gets to plus three. 686 00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 1: I want to bring these next two games together, want 687 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: to pair them appropriately because they are both in play 688 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: for a bet that would require some serious cohonas, and 689 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to make a call based on one 690 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,800 Speaker 1: of these two games. First one up Tennessee plus eight 691 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,880 Speaker 1: right now at heart Rock Bet at Denver. I hate 692 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: this game. I feel like this is a game where 693 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,439 Speaker 1: wise guys are telling me I have to do it, 694 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 1: even though it's ugly and scary, and for years I 695 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: would have auto played this for the Titans. But I 696 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: do feel like I needed least something I like about 697 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 1: the team matchup. Wise, I like things about the Browns 698 00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: against the Bengals. I like things about the Raiders against 699 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 1: the Patriots. I don't know that I like a rookie 700 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 1: QB against a great defense in altitude. First first game. 701 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:01,360 Speaker 1: It feels like a recipe for disaster. You keep hammering 702 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,959 Speaker 1: me about it. It has moved in the direction of 703 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,439 Speaker 1: the Titans because the line has come down after going high, 704 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,959 Speaker 1: peaking at eight and a half, biggest number of the week. 705 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 1: Can we just talk about this for a second as friends, 706 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: as compatriots, as partners. 707 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, hopefully the public gets us back to day and 708 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 3: a half bet more teasers. 709 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,839 Speaker 2: People keep keep lowing up on Denver. I'm joining you. 710 00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 3: I told you, I'm putting them in my Survivor. So 711 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,840 Speaker 3: I think Denver's winning this game. But you know, to me, 712 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 3: the biggest thing jumps out right away. Chat if I 713 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 3: can give you some trends the easier mind, because you 714 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 3: said you don't know what to do week one, right, 715 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,959 Speaker 3: there's too much unknown. You gotta trust the numbers. Long 716 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 3: term winners, baby, that's what we're giving out here. It 717 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 3: might feel gross, it looks gross, but it's how I 718 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 3: make a living. Long term winners. They say, long term winner. Okay, 719 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 3: last twenty years. Let's go last twenty years. Is that 720 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 3: enough time for you? 721 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 2: Chat? Twenty years of data year? 722 00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 1: You know what? It's actually whatever you're going to say, 723 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: I don't know that it matters because the NFL changes 724 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 1: so much. 725 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:02,720 Speaker 2: It doesn't. 726 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: It does everything from twenty seventeen when they moved the 727 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,399 Speaker 1: extra point back and people started going for two point 728 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,320 Speaker 1: conversions more everything, since twenty twenty when people started getting 729 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 1: more aggressive, like the kickoff rule from last year. The 730 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: game that we played today, that we watched today is 731 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,040 Speaker 1: just different than even the game from fifteen years ago. 732 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:27,040 Speaker 3: But god, if you go back trend all these coaches 733 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 3: were going for it on fourth down. They didn't reinvent 734 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 3: the wheel lately. Chad, you're overrating how aggressive teams are. 735 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 3: Last twenty years Dogs eight plus eight plus ten seventy 736 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 3: three percent the last twenty years, nineteen and seven, Week one, 737 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 3: nineteen and seven, Chad, So week one, Yeah, in week one. 738 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: How many of those Dogs had a rookie number one 739 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: overall quarterback? Because I know those guys have gone I 740 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 1: think one in fifteen against This. 741 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 3: Is why I feel bad for you, Chad. You you 742 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 3: sound like a sucker. I literally won. I had Ryan 743 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,320 Speaker 3: Fitzpatrick on Tampa plus fourteen against the Saints and Drew Brees. 744 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 3: He won outright with Tampa. Okay, So like, don't give 745 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 3: me all this nonsense where you can't see the things happen. 746 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 3: It's week one, brother, Shit's about to get weird. That's 747 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 3: what you need to lean into here where it's like, yes, 748 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 3: if this was week nine, I agree with you. When 749 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,760 Speaker 3: Denver is on a roll and everything's clicking, I agree 750 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 3: with you. You are fading a rookie who went eight to 751 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,880 Speaker 3: oh as a favorite last season, perfect and you're betting 752 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 3: on a team that went two and five against the spread. 753 00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:40,439 Speaker 2: They are left for dead. 754 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: By the way, I'm going to give you two and 755 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 1: fifteen against the spread. 756 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, every book maker I talked to, ninety five percent 757 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:50,800 Speaker 3: of the money the money is on Denver in the spread. 758 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 2: So, like, what are we debating here? 759 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 3: It's you want to weigh a long term winner, you 760 00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 3: want to bet with the sports books? 761 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 1: You know what, Simon, you know what, it's already week one. 762 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: I want to put Tennessee in the context only because 763 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,399 Speaker 1: you have to own it. Were you're going to own 764 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: it and on Sunday night we're going to talk. 765 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,160 Speaker 3: About Itboys the Cowboys a ready and a half. You're 766 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 3: betting the Cowboys for the same exact reason. It's a 767 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:26,839 Speaker 3: huge inflated number on a heavily overrated inflated teams. It's 768 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,360 Speaker 3: literally that simple. We're not again, not trying to reinvent 769 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 3: the wheel here. It's data, numbers, trends that back it up. 770 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,760 Speaker 3: And you said you need matchups for Tennessee. Okay, Denver, 771 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 3: this amazing defense. Historically they always regress in the history. 772 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 3: So twenty five years of data, teams like them that 773 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,280 Speaker 3: finish top three defensively, every single one the last twenty 774 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 3: five years is regressed except Tomlin one year with that 775 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 3: Steelers defense. They're the only defense ever to improve from 776 00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,720 Speaker 3: being a top three defense to a number two defense. 777 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:02,840 Speaker 3: Follow it just so Denver's defense, that's gonna be the 778 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 3: biggest thing right away. They will regress. Game Ward, he 779 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 3: could be dog shit, he could throw a pick. That's 780 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,800 Speaker 3: not gonna be that shocking. He will not be Will Levis, 781 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 3: who all he does is go three and out or 782 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,360 Speaker 3: throw picks. Game Ward will eventually get into a rhythm. 783 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 3: He'll be able to move the ball against ever team. So, yes, Chad, 784 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 3: they're the worst team in football at Denver is obviously 785 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 3: one of the better teams in football. I get your hesitation. 786 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 3: They could blow out Tennessee. That's why we're taking them 787 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 3: a survivor. I'm just telling you this number should be seven. 788 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,399 Speaker 3: It's eight eight and a half. You gotta bet that value. 789 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,399 Speaker 3: That's an inflated line. You have to take that number, all. 790 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 1: Right, Simon. You know what we're doing it this year. 791 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: We're changing it up a little bit. It's not enough 792 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,760 Speaker 1: to have big balls, because even when you have big balls, 793 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 1: if you get kicked in the dick, like we're going 794 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,680 Speaker 1: to with this game, you need to have brass balls. 795 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 1: So here we go. This week our brass balls better 796 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:06,280 Speaker 1: the week Tennessee Titans plus eight against the Denver Broncos. 797 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: And we're putting this in the freaking contest, brother, and 798 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:14,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna and if it wins, all the flowers for Simon. 799 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 3: So there's honestly only one spy left because the next 800 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 3: three games we're going to talk about Chad. I'm I'm 801 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 3: I Basically people don't know I'm running the contest finally 802 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,000 Speaker 3: again this year, I'm making our picks Chad had the 803 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 3: last two years. It's back to Simon making the picks. 804 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: What he means is like Simon gets to actually put 805 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,359 Speaker 1: the picks into the your. 806 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 3: Chad say why to me on Sundays anymore? Like I 807 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 3: can't tell you how many times I want to break 808 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 3: this guy's next around game And he goes, why why 809 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 3: because the earth spins. 810 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 2: I don't know why, Chad, But yes, listen. 811 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: I'm inquisitive, and I try to set an example for 812 00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: my kids to ask questions, you know, when they don't 813 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 1: know the answers. So listen, I don't want to skip 814 00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: San Francisco and Seattle again. 815 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:54,160 Speaker 2: So this was good. 816 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 1: This was also a game that was on our Brass 817 00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: Balls list, and I apologize again that I missed this. 818 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,320 Speaker 1: I slid right over it. It's just basically been sitting 819 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 1: at the Niners at two and a half. It's a 820 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: two now at hard Rock Bets. So some money coming 821 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: in on Seattle and Simon, I know that you've gotten 822 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,000 Speaker 1: some intel about the wise guys liking the Seahawks for 823 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: pretty big money here. I need some I need someone 824 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: to talk me off of the Niners because I know 825 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 1: I'm biased. I know I'm heavily invested in them for 826 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:34,160 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl futures. I'm against Sam Darnold. I love 827 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: Robert Sala being back and coaching this defense. So go ahead. 828 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 1: I know you loved I know you love the Seahawks. Here, 829 00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:42,399 Speaker 1: tell the people why. 830 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 3: And I'm checking hart Rech right now because I just 831 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 3: kind of alert. Yeah, it's back up at two and 832 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 3: a half. So obviously there is some four Niners money 833 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,920 Speaker 3: out there. And me and Cha had agree, like we 834 00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 3: like this fort Niners this upcoming season, season long, and 835 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 3: I think they're a team that's well positioned. You know, 836 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 3: one solid coaches up these young guys on the defensive side, 837 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:06,240 Speaker 3: they could be really good. This is a bad spot 838 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 3: for them to be trying to get coached up right. 839 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 3: We've seen Kubiak, the offensive coordinator of this Seahawks team, 840 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 3: be successful really early in the season last year with 841 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,840 Speaker 3: that New Orleans team, right when Orland's healthy. I mean, 842 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 3: they're putting up forty points a game before their OW 843 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 3: line got banged up in car got banged up, like 844 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 3: that offense was moving the ball. I came into the 845 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 3: year kind of being a Seahawks hater because of their 846 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 3: O line. I've really turned the page on them the 847 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 3: way I've seen them play in preseason and everything I've 848 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,719 Speaker 3: read from their beat riders where it's like, you know, 849 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 3: they've really done a lot of work between the draft 850 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,399 Speaker 3: agency and trying to build out this O line because 851 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,360 Speaker 3: they knew it was one of the worst units in 852 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,479 Speaker 3: all football last season. You're bringing Sam Darnold, who needs 853 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 3: a good old line to survive. They're bringing Kubiak just 854 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 3: because they said, Okay, if we don't have the best 855 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 3: offensive line, let's be a run team that can you know, 856 00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,200 Speaker 3: push a ball downfield as well, which is literally what 857 00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 3: he does. He wants to draw the safeties in and 858 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 3: take you up, take it off over top, Like that's 859 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:03,839 Speaker 3: lazy way to say. 860 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 2: That's how Kobe kind of wants to run his offense. 861 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 3: And to me, when I break it down, this is 862 00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,399 Speaker 3: a match with the favorites, I'm like, I think they'll 863 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,000 Speaker 3: be able to run the ball really well against his 864 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 3: foreign airs team, and then the defensive side. I kind 865 00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 3: of love this matchup for the Seahawks against Party where 866 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,480 Speaker 3: pretty surprisingly he's done really well against Seattle. I think 867 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 3: he's undefeated playing against him. I think he's three to 868 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,239 Speaker 3: zero in Seattle as a starter, but in week one 869 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,719 Speaker 3: Shanahan's actually struggle as a coach, and I do think 870 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,280 Speaker 3: it's because the offense needs is a rhythm based offense. 871 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 3: And I think at the end of the day, you know, 872 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,719 Speaker 3: I know, they just signed Jenny Zen like that and 873 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 3: he's they're coming back, so at least they will have 874 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 3: two pretty solid receivers Kittles healthy McCaffrey's there. This usually 875 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 3: would be a smash spot for me with this team, 876 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 3: but just the fact that it's all in a road 877 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,560 Speaker 3: against Seattle team that historically I think They're thirty and 878 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 3: six in the first three games at home. That's that's 879 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 3: a team that just usually wins even when they've had 880 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,680 Speaker 3: bad teams at home in the first couple because they're 881 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 3: just so dynamic with that offense. And obviously, you know, 882 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,400 Speaker 3: we're really banking here on Sam Darnold, So two and 883 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 3: a half, I'm not honestly comfortable here. I was worried 884 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 3: we're gonna come on, the show's gonna be one and 885 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,560 Speaker 3: a half, and that that to me, would have been 886 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:13,080 Speaker 3: a no play. 887 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:14,760 Speaker 2: Like people know, if you listen. 888 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,840 Speaker 3: To the show before, how much I love the number 889 00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,839 Speaker 3: two and how much the NFL has changed now we're 890 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,120 Speaker 3: two and a half is such a key number. So yeah, 891 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,399 Speaker 3: to me, Chet, I'm still confident about it. A guy 892 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,879 Speaker 3: I really respect. You know, he doesn't work with any 893 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:31,320 Speaker 3: betting groups. He's just alone better that works with bookmakers 894 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,359 Speaker 3: trying to get his money down. He hit this line 895 00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,399 Speaker 3: for fifty K, so he hit the Seahawks for fifty 896 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:36,879 Speaker 3: kN and that's where I thought the number was gonna 897 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,319 Speaker 3: come down, because this guy does move numbers. It doesn't 898 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 3: sound like a big bet, but this guy does have 899 00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 3: weight behind his betting numbers. So you know, to me, 900 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 3: I already kind of like the Seahawks here, knowing a 901 00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,360 Speaker 3: guy I really respect coming on the same side as me. 902 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 3: And once again the home divisional dog trends twenty four 903 00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,239 Speaker 3: and seven in week one that. 904 00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 2: Backs of the Seahawks. 905 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 3: Is this exact spot where it's like, I could see 906 00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:03,239 Speaker 3: the four nine ers winning this game somehow at the end, 907 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,320 Speaker 3: but it just feels like it's a number that's a 908 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:06,760 Speaker 3: little inflated, like one and a half. 909 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 2: That was the right number to me. 910 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:09,879 Speaker 3: Still a two and a half, that's the good vuye 911 00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,719 Speaker 3: across the key number on the sea Hawks team. 912 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:16,759 Speaker 1: Not a huge margin for air in this game, not 913 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:19,839 Speaker 1: a huge one like I put it on the list. 914 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: It's not going to be. 915 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 3: They take it heavily on Kubiak and thus run blocking 916 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:25,279 Speaker 3: scheme working. 917 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:32,320 Speaker 1: For We're we're forcing ourselves to believe in things unseen 918 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: at this point. 919 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,320 Speaker 2: A lot of these teams. Though, to be fair, it is. 920 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 1: Like the Tennessee Titans and the brass Balls better the 921 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 1: week that we just made. I actually feel better with 922 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 1: the Titans being our brass balls bet than with Seattle. 923 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,759 Speaker 1: The Chad Loves Love bet was Detroit plus two and 924 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,359 Speaker 1: a half and that number is now at hard Rock 925 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 1: Bet down to two. Uh so, you know, moving in 926 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,440 Speaker 1: my direction. The wise guys came in and in the 927 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,320 Speaker 1: hotline they talked about how much they liked Green Bay more. 928 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:12,080 Speaker 1: I get it. Here's my theory is that this line 929 00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,960 Speaker 1: got moved too much by Micah Parsons, who's taken injections 930 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,480 Speaker 1: in his back and is limited in practice and hasn't 931 00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 1: done training camp and has barely been with this new team. 932 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,440 Speaker 1: So why are they getting a full point of value 933 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 1: for a guy who we don't even know how many 934 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,919 Speaker 1: snaps he's going to take if he plays at all. 935 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,879 Speaker 1: That's to me the reason why I'm I'm playing alliance here. 936 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm confident with you in the same spect that that, 937 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,800 Speaker 3: like my only pause here would be you know, the 938 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,719 Speaker 3: Detroit could come out and rhythm with the scripted plays. 939 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 3: I'm not worried about the first fifteen to twenty plays, 940 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,920 Speaker 3: but it's after that that's my hesitation because that's the 941 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 3: unknown here with this Detroit team in this offense, Like 942 00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,919 Speaker 3: how is golf going to be? He went from McVeigh 943 00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 3: his year to Ben Johnson, which we know now right 944 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 3: in the future, we know, looking back might be too. 945 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,279 Speaker 3: Some of the best offensive minds in all football. We 946 00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 3: don't know if he's not that same thing. So like 947 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:16,080 Speaker 3: I get the professionals hesitation because Lafleur love. They know 948 00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 3: exactly what they're getting there like that, Like again, love 949 00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:20,880 Speaker 3: no excuse. 950 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,960 Speaker 2: I mean people say we're too hard on him. 951 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 3: We us being hard on him is the fact that 952 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 3: he played nine good games and got an insane amount 953 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,479 Speaker 3: of money and then last year. 954 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:31,239 Speaker 2: You know, I don't put it on. 955 00:47:31,239 --> 00:47:33,879 Speaker 3: Him as much as other people do because he got 956 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,400 Speaker 3: banged up that week one game in Brazil and then 957 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:38,760 Speaker 3: the injuries just kept happening rain only to him throughout 958 00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:39,080 Speaker 3: the season. 959 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,480 Speaker 2: Maybe that's something I'll plague them all year. 960 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 3: But right now, his only injury it was his non 961 00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,560 Speaker 3: throwing hand, and it seems like he's been back fire 962 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,680 Speaker 3: practicing with that no problem. You know, their wide receiver room. 963 00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:51,879 Speaker 3: That's the biggest question about Green Bay to me right now. 964 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 3: Right they're golden kid. He might be an absolute stud. 965 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 3: He might put their number one receiver. What do they 966 00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 3: have behind him? Right They have so many injuries behind 967 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 3: him right now, and you know, I think read at 968 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:05,400 Speaker 3: planner fasci Ice ice or something crazy dealing with like 969 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 3: injuries that he's going to play through it the whole season. 970 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,600 Speaker 3: But like that's a major red flag right there. And 971 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 3: you know, a guy I love, Tucker Kraft, is fully healthy. 972 00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,560 Speaker 3: That's a big deal obviously at the tin of position. 973 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:18,799 Speaker 3: But you know, overall, I just think Detroit defensively, they 974 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,320 Speaker 3: have the athletes, they have the talent, maybe arguably the 975 00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,320 Speaker 3: best safety Tannema all football. Aden hel just said, I 976 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 3: know we were joking about it, but you know his 977 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 3: sacked total PROP was thirteen and a half. Fourteen felt 978 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 3: too high for me, right, I would take that under 979 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 3: There's no sense that he can't come in here and 980 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 3: still be a game record. Right if he comes back 981 00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 3: and he is at eighty eighty five percent, I mean 982 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,560 Speaker 3: it's one of the best passers in all football. 983 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,799 Speaker 2: That is a big deal because you. 984 00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 3: Know, Green Bay their strength to me, when I really 985 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,360 Speaker 3: break it down, it is that old line like that 986 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,000 Speaker 3: aligned with Josh Jacobs. That's the reason that all identity 987 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 3: of that team was so strong. So yeah, I'm really 988 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 3: excited for this matchup just because Green Bay one and 989 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,600 Speaker 3: five last year in their division, like that was their. 990 00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 2: Achilles heel Detroit. 991 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 3: Me and Chad, we're banking honestly on good coaching with 992 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 3: Campbell here and just the fact that he can hold 993 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,520 Speaker 3: this all together and that you know, the OC that's 994 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 3: stepping in here. 995 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,959 Speaker 2: He was the understudy of Ben Johnson all this time. 996 00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 3: He I think, is going to be a guy that 997 00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,160 Speaker 3: could show up and be next year on everyone's radar. 998 00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 3: Is the next hot topic come being the next head coach. 999 00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 3: So I think we're in lockstep here. Of it's about 1000 00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,120 Speaker 3: the number right, two and a half in our contest 1001 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 3: plus two. We love it if this numbers had a pick, right, 1002 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 3: if this moves all the way back to a pick, 1003 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 3: or Detroit flips to being a favorite, like we've seen 1004 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 3: these lines flipping. Now, I don't know if we love 1005 00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:40,399 Speaker 3: it as much right because we're kind playing the value 1006 00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,520 Speaker 3: where we're still on Detroit. We still think they're gonna 1007 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,800 Speaker 3: win this game. But at the two to two and 1008 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:46,439 Speaker 3: a half, Like when Chad gave it out, it didn't 1009 00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:47,799 Speaker 3: make me feel a little sick to my stomach because 1010 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:48,919 Speaker 3: I new Chalky it was. 1011 00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:50,479 Speaker 2: But it really was about the number. 1012 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,040 Speaker 3: It's like we're getting a loaded Detroit team is a 1013 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 3: plus and two and a half dog against an over 1014 00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,879 Speaker 3: hyped Green Bay team right there, everyone's darling right now, 1015 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 3: everyone's super Bowl pick. It's just they're just another team 1016 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,399 Speaker 3: where the love affairs going too high, and yeah, could 1017 00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:07,279 Speaker 3: they win this one? The pros will be right right 1018 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,279 Speaker 3: that this is a huge deal that Aaron Glenn left 1019 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 3: and Ben Johnson get to me and Chad overlooked at 1020 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,560 Speaker 3: We'll own that on Monday if it's true. But as 1021 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,080 Speaker 3: you say here right now, I just have a ton 1022 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 3: of confidence in the structure of that Detroit team, and 1023 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:21,160 Speaker 3: this is not the type of game I think they'll 1024 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,319 Speaker 3: trip up, and there'll be other matchups they will, but 1025 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,840 Speaker 3: I honestly I think they have a big, big offensive 1026 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 3: matchup that they can exploit here in the secondary of 1027 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,759 Speaker 3: green Bay. And defensively, I think people are underrat how 1028 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,239 Speaker 3: good of a defensive stars they have on this Detroit team. 1029 00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:34,880 Speaker 2: Fully healthy. 1030 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:39,920 Speaker 1: I love when you and I are aligned, and it 1031 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 1: gives me confidence. It makes me feel better about myself 1032 00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,920 Speaker 1: and also means that we can put it in the 1033 00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:50,440 Speaker 1: contest and I'm not going to feel as guilty if 1034 00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,839 Speaker 1: it loses the way you will. About the Tennessee Titans. 1035 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 1: Baltimore is visiting Buffalo at hard Rock Bet, the Ravens 1036 00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:02,600 Speaker 1: are now a one point favorite. That's a big move, folks, 1037 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,799 Speaker 1: because when we did the show on Tuesday, they were 1038 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:09,840 Speaker 1: one and a half point underdogs, which means the Baltimore 1039 00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:16,319 Speaker 1: Ravens are our rock and a hard place Bet of 1040 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 1: the Week presented by hard Rock This one is grodess 1041 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:26,759 Speaker 1: for our friends at hard Rock Bet. Listen, we liked 1042 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,799 Speaker 1: the Ravens when it was one and a half and 1043 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,760 Speaker 1: they were dogs. We don't love bet and the line flip, 1044 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 1: But the more I look at this game, the more 1045 00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,960 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm betting a complete team against a 1046 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 1: team that is Josh Allen and everyone else who needs 1047 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:45,640 Speaker 1: to be lifted by Josh Allen. 1048 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. 1049 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,080 Speaker 3: I hate that it flipped, but people say, all wet, 1050 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 3: all we do is bet dogs. 1051 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 2: Chad here, we're approving them wrong. 1052 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,239 Speaker 3: We're on the chalk favorite now in the Ravens, and 1053 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:58,240 Speaker 3: I'm still confident. 1054 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,360 Speaker 2: I'm still believing in this play. 1055 00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,319 Speaker 3: And you know it stinks because there's so many great 1056 00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,560 Speaker 3: trends we talked about it. When you know Lamar is 1057 00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:06,760 Speaker 3: a dog. He is twelve and three against the spreading 1058 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,880 Speaker 3: his career as an underdog. You know, we love that 1059 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,759 Speaker 3: type of stuff. But another trends I like to look 1060 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,000 Speaker 3: at is whenever he's playing on turf. 1061 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:18,279 Speaker 2: And I know it sounds simple, but it's a big deal. Right. 1062 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,000 Speaker 3: Turf is fast and that's Lamar's greatest strength, and that's 1063 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:22,800 Speaker 3: what this offense wants to be. They want to be fast, 1064 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 3: and that, you know, to me is something I really 1065 00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,760 Speaker 3: dove into. Whe It's like, can I find an edge 1066 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,160 Speaker 3: about Lamar and when he plays on turf fields and 1067 00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 3: there is a long term edge on that, right, I've 1068 00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:31,920 Speaker 3: been betting in his whole career. 1069 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:33,880 Speaker 2: I checked my notes. 1070 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:36,359 Speaker 3: He's nineteen and three against the spread when he plays 1071 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,799 Speaker 3: an artificial turf nineteen three against the spread. So it's like, 1072 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 3: you know, it sounds stupid, it sounds lazy, it sounds easy, 1073 00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 3: but it's factual when he's a different player when he's 1074 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,680 Speaker 3: playing on turf, because it is aff a different field 1075 00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:49,800 Speaker 3: and the movement's different. 1076 00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:52,080 Speaker 2: So that was something that jumped out right away. 1077 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,319 Speaker 3: And then you know, when we dove into the matchups 1078 00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:58,560 Speaker 3: the Bills team, how they'll exploit this matchup. 1079 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:01,719 Speaker 2: They will just run, run, run the ball. 1080 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:06,080 Speaker 3: And to me, that could work, But at the same time, 1081 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,839 Speaker 3: that just means it's gonna be low Clow scoring close game, 1082 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:11,800 Speaker 3: and like, that's exactly where I want to be with Lamar, 1083 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:13,880 Speaker 3: because this is again, this is not the playoffs. 1084 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 2: This is a regular season where Lamar. 1085 00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,960 Speaker 3: He is clutch, He is a brutal out He is 1086 00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:23,000 Speaker 3: a really tough beat and I think you know the 1087 00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:26,080 Speaker 3: line movement. We have both the same feeling, me and Chad. Honestly, 1088 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,080 Speaker 3: it sounds stupid, people, but we've just been burned so 1089 00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:31,160 Speaker 3: many times when the line flips, it just for some 1090 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:32,640 Speaker 3: reason just burns us. 1091 00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:34,200 Speaker 2: But I'm gonna touch the stove again. 1092 00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:35,840 Speaker 3: I think you're gonna touch it with me where it's like, 1093 00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,000 Speaker 3: I know it's hot, I gotta touch it. 1094 00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:38,200 Speaker 2: Though. 1095 00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,479 Speaker 3: I just love this Ravens at this number and below too, 1096 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,160 Speaker 3: So at one and a half, I'm still gonna bet it. 1097 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,520 Speaker 2: So yeah, it's people out there. You can shop around. 1098 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,319 Speaker 2: There's still some plus one and a half's out there. 1099 00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,600 Speaker 2: Tease it. You have to at least tease it. 1100 00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,879 Speaker 3: Lamar as a dog and teasers fourteen to one as 1101 00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:58,280 Speaker 3: a teaser, So getting him up to seven and a half, 1102 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,279 Speaker 3: there is no way he loses this game more than 1103 00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,400 Speaker 3: a touchdown, horriball week one against the spread twelve and 1104 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,319 Speaker 3: five against the spread. So you know, he's just a 1105 00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,399 Speaker 3: guy that gets his guys ready prepared for Week one. 1106 00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,920 Speaker 3: And you know, me and chat both of the Chiefs. 1107 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 3: Last year, we won that bet by a heel, right, 1108 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,720 Speaker 3: that was a really lucky bet. And the Ravens loss. 1109 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 3: I can't see the lightning strike twice here. 1110 00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:18,839 Speaker 2: I mean that they. 1111 00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,160 Speaker 3: Are just so so so fired up about facing this 1112 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,120 Speaker 3: Bills team who they lost in the playoffs last year, 1113 00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:24,919 Speaker 3: and we talked about it. 1114 00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 2: I just I know the Bills. 1115 00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:29,840 Speaker 3: It's the last night Orchard Park, last opening game ever 1116 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 3: at that historical ballpark, right was in nineteen seventy three, 1117 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 3: that fucking stadium opened, So I get it's gonna be 1118 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,439 Speaker 3: a historical, over emotional night. 1119 00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:39,640 Speaker 2: If you just want to. 1120 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,280 Speaker 3: Take Ravens first half, we always talkt we love Lamar 1121 00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,320 Speaker 3: as a first half bet, go for it. But for 1122 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,640 Speaker 3: us and contest wise, that's what we're talking here, taking 1123 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,919 Speaker 3: them in the contest, taking them as a straight up bet. 1124 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 3: I just love the Ravens and I'm almost positive it's 1125 00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,280 Speaker 3: locked in a plus one and a half in our contest, 1126 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,719 Speaker 3: So I'm almost positive on Sunday morning, I'll be one 1127 00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:57,480 Speaker 3: of our bets. 1128 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,400 Speaker 1: Well, let's break it down right now. I think on 1129 00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:04,920 Speaker 1: Sunday morning, four games that we feel great about after 1130 00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:11,399 Speaker 1: this conversation Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, fifty percent of us feel 1131 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:13,400 Speaker 1: great about Tennessee and fifty percent of us are going 1132 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,239 Speaker 1: to go along just for the drama. And then we're 1133 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,840 Speaker 1: probably going to be deciding between what are the best lines, 1134 00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 1: how things have moved, either between a Las Vegas or 1135 00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:33,799 Speaker 1: a Jets or maybe a Commander's, maybe a Seattle. We'll 1136 00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,319 Speaker 1: see how things are going. Or there might be other 1137 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,799 Speaker 1: games that have moved and injuries have caused us to 1138 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,000 Speaker 1: rethink things. But I think that's where we stand right now. Again, 1139 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,719 Speaker 1: we will lock all this down Sunday morning, eleven am. 1140 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:54,239 Speaker 1: Sharper Square YouTube channel Simon right now as we do 1141 00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 1: this show biggest bet of the week so far. 1142 00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,280 Speaker 3: Cause I told you I've been betting this for months, 1143 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 3: months and months. I would have to definitely go through 1144 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,040 Speaker 3: my book. I am assuming when I once I go 1145 00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 3: through and kind of all my tickets unfortunately probably gonna 1146 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,080 Speaker 3: be Dallas. Like I just I know I was hitting 1147 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:23,200 Speaker 3: that number for months, but I'm assuming come Sunday like 1148 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:23,960 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go through it. 1149 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:24,160 Speaker 2: Now. 1150 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,799 Speaker 3: I know I'm getting close with the Ravens, and I'm 1151 00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,480 Speaker 3: getting really close with the Browns. Like again, Browns were 1152 00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,359 Speaker 3: six and a half at one point. That's the number 1153 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,160 Speaker 3: I've just been hammering for months, hammered at six, kept 1154 00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:35,320 Speaker 3: hitting at five and a half. 1155 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,239 Speaker 2: I'm still betting at five. So that's that's gonna be 1156 00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:41,719 Speaker 2: a gross day when I wake up and uh my 1157 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:43,720 Speaker 2: two biggest bets are gonna be Browns in Dallas. 1158 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,120 Speaker 3: But yeah, I I do want to say with this, 1159 00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:52,919 Speaker 3: like Chad said these early early weeks, guys, don't don't 1160 00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 3: go crazy with your bank all right, pick your spots, 1161 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,480 Speaker 3: be smart, very long season money management is literally fifty 1162 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:00,520 Speaker 3: percent of the bets. 1163 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:00,799 Speaker 1: Yep. 1164 00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,720 Speaker 3: You don't become a professional with that of really strict 1165 00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:07,480 Speaker 3: money management. So I'm highly aggressive. I've won big. I 1166 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 3: got the equity to burn this way. If you got 1167 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,360 Speaker 3: a small bankroll, you have the power. Pick your spots. 1168 00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:15,839 Speaker 3: Don't force bets. I said all the time in the show, 1169 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,480 Speaker 3: me and Ched have to pick five for contest. Most weeks, 1170 00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,280 Speaker 3: I do three big bets or less. Right, I'm picking 1171 00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:26,040 Speaker 3: my spots where i might do a total of spread props. 1172 00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,600 Speaker 3: But I'm picking my spots. I'm not forcing in five 1173 00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,640 Speaker 3: against the spread bets. The NFL is the sharpest market 1174 00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 3: you want to go and make a living, go back 1175 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,240 Speaker 3: college football. There's about three hundred freaking football teams. This 1176 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,400 Speaker 3: is a lot different thirty two teams, really stiff market. 1177 00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,240 Speaker 3: So please people money management, be smart with your money. 1178 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:43,560 Speaker 3: Let's go, dude. 1179 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:48,160 Speaker 1: I'll tell you two stories so you know. I'm working 1180 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:49,800 Speaker 1: on this book and I'm spending time with a lot 1181 00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 1: of professional betters, including a guy I was with last 1182 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:57,360 Speaker 1: weekend in Costa Rica. He's a big college football better, 1183 00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 1: a big baseball better. And when I say big, I 1184 00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:04,960 Speaker 1: mean like from baseball point of view. I think there 1185 00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,680 Speaker 1: might be five groups that are competitive with him. And 1186 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,240 Speaker 1: I think for the year he's maybe made one hundred 1187 00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:16,120 Speaker 1: bets on baseball. Now, the volume he's betting when he 1188 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,280 Speaker 1: actually makes his bet is huge. He is so selective 1189 00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 1: and disciplined, and I sat with him on college football 1190 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:28,760 Speaker 1: Saturday all day. So selective. It is like half point difference, 1191 00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:33,960 Speaker 1: point difference. He'll just walk away, does not get sort 1192 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,280 Speaker 1: of lost in the midst the way Simon is talking 1193 00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:41,880 Speaker 1: about bank roll management, the best way to make money, 1194 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:46,760 Speaker 1: don't lose money. Simon, what is our money line? Round Robin, 1195 00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:56,240 Speaker 1: underdog parlay. Here's what I think Saints Panthers, Lions, Raiders, Cleveland, 1196 00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:59,800 Speaker 1: agree or disagree? 1197 00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:06,000 Speaker 3: I'll switch out the Raiders for the Jets. 1198 00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:19,280 Speaker 1: All right? Saints, Saints Panthers, Jets, Lions, Cleveland. All right, Survivor, 1199 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:20,680 Speaker 1: I think you said it a couple of times. We're 1200 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:29,920 Speaker 1: going with Denver and then sharp versus Square. I'm going Miami. 1201 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:38,320 Speaker 2: You're going Miami. Yeah, I can't use brands against sugar. 1202 00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 3: I guess man, I already have so much invested in 1203 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:42,720 Speaker 3: the Titans. 1204 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:44,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm little. I can't. Should I triple down 1205 00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:45,240 Speaker 2: on them? 1206 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,440 Speaker 1: You know what? Brass balls go with the Titans? 1207 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,880 Speaker 3: No, I'm going Ravens. I love the Ravens, and it's 1208 00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 3: such a it's still a good number. There's still plus 1209 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:55,400 Speaker 3: one and a half's out there. But I'll take the 1210 00:59:55,440 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 3: hard rock. I'll take the minus one on this show. 1211 00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:01,720 Speaker 1: All right. So I'm doing in Miami. I think I 1212 01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:03,640 Speaker 1: got one and a half for one. What's hard rock 1213 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:04,800 Speaker 1: say right now about Miami? 1214 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:09,520 Speaker 2: I'm almost positive they move to uh, they pull it up. 1215 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,560 Speaker 2: They move to plus one, yeps. 1216 01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:15,760 Speaker 1: One plus one your ravens minus one.
