Speaker 2: Chad, my guy, how are we doing, dude? Today?

9
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: We're doing the NFC East. So I want to tell

10
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: you a little story which which you will love because

11
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: it involves one of your favorite coaches of all time.

12
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 1: I got someboddies here in West Herford where I live,

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: who are from the Philly region outside Philly, South Jersey, whatever,

14
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: and they are such which rabbit rabbid Eagles fans. They

15
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: get together during the season. They watch in this guy's basement.

16
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: They've already rewatched the Super Bowl victory from last year

17
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: in preparation for the upcoming season. And a couple of

18
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: weeks ago they called me because they were going to

19
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: watch the movie Invincible. As you know, I wrote the

20
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: book Invincible.

21
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: Chad Milman wrote a book.

22
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: You're aware I wrote the book Invincible. About Vince Papali,

23
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: who became the oldest rookie in NFL history when he

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: made the Eagles off of an open tryout when Dick

25
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: Rameil became the head coach. It was the movie Invincible,

26
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: starting Mark Wahlberg and Elizabeth Banks. I appreciate you recognizing

27
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: it because when I said they asked me to go

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: to this party, when I said I was gonna come by,

29
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: my son was like, Invincible. Didn't didn't you have something

30
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: to do with that?

31
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: Did you?

32
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: Like, you're a fucking you got to explain them. That's

33
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: Philadelphia's goodwill hunting. Okay, you had a huge, huge deal

34
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: part of Philadelphia movie made.

35
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: So so I went and I the night before, I

36
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: texted Vince and I told him I was going to

37
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: this Invincible party at my buddy's house. And by the way,

38
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: they had these uh like I don't know, like the

39
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: Philadelphia wah wah version of Hostess cupcakes and like little

40
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: cakes and stuff that you gotta rub the plastic to

41
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: make sure it doesn't stick to the icing. I forget

42
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: what they're called. But anyways, I told Vince I was

43
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: going to this, you know, movie party for Invincible, and

44
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: he texted me. He was in Jupiter, Florida. A video Jupiter,

45
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: Florida of Doug Peterson. This was literally that moment. He

46
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: was with Doug Peterson, who was making smash burgers, and

47
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: they were getting ready to watch the Hall of Fame game.

48
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: And I'm like, this is the fucking best man.

49
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 2: It's a brotherhood Philadelphia.

50
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson loving his life with Vince Papali in Florida.

51
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 2: The well deserved, well deserved good man.

52
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: Today we're doing the NFCS brother Eagles, Super Bowl Champs,

53
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders, Dallas Cowboys, New York Football Giants, as Mike

54
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: Shiftman had asked us to do the NFC East faces,

55
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: the AFC West, and the NFC North. So even the

56
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: last place schedule because of the NFC North will not

57
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: necessarily be easy. Let's start with your Eagles brother division

58
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: minus one forty five conference plus three hundred Super Bowl

59
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: plus six fifty win total eleven and a half. I

60
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: got a lot of thoughts on this right now, but

61
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: you're in that ven diagram of super fandom and professional

62
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 1: better and I know Eagles fandom does not influence how

63
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: you feel about these numbers. I say that with all

64
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: seriousness so before I say anything, just give me your opinion.

65
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's this is this is peak NFC East cockiness, pride.

66
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: I think in the whole division where you know, Washington

67
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: thinks they're big and bad, Dallas thinks they got super

68
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: Bowl you know, aspirations, and I believe after our last

69
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: Super Bowl, we have the most Super Bowls and above

70
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: any division NFCS. So it's the Northeast bias is strong

71
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: right now with this division. And yeah, I look at it,

72
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 2: and you know, this Eagles team, I've I think even

73
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 2: talking at Eagles fans, they were losing their fucking minds.

74
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: The fact that I was telling people to bet Dallas

75
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 2: and I tried to explain them all, to explain to

76
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: people now just because I was saying Dallas is the

77
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: best valley does not mean I think Dallas is gonna

78
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: win this division. Obviously, this is the team that's gonna

79
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: win this division right the foot off the Eagles. And

80
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: at minus one forty five, it's that number because there's

81
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: so much love for Washington right now in the general

82
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: public and sports media, because the Jayden Daniels well deserved

83
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: what he did last year. But that's really what's pushing

84
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: this number down. And then we know the history of

85
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: this division just teams don't repeat. It's I don't know

86
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: we're going on year in nineteen or year twenty, but

87
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 2: there has not been a repeat champion this division that

88
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 2: long for good reasons. There's always something right. There was

89
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: always something either. Even when there's teams leading by like

90
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: four games, there's five games left, they've lost somehow all

91
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: those games, the other team will come up and win

92
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: it out of nowhere. So it's been really fluky. But

93
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: I think it's finally bound to happen. Chat, I think

94
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: I can say with confidence that this Eagles team will

95
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: be the one that can break that streak. And it's

96
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: just because of this defense. And as much as we

97
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: love and respect we give this Eagles offense deserved well deserved.

98
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 2: To win your division consistently, you need to have a

99
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: really good defensive back that offense. Because we've talked with

100
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: like other professional betters, defense to a lot of people

101
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: is considered very consistent from year to year, and that

102
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: is why these defensive coordinators are so important. I mean, Fangs,

103
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: he's changed the whole n offl His defensive scheme has

104
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: changed everything in this league where the deep balls for

105
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 2: the most part, died for most most teams, right because

106
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: of this type of Cover two defense he's brought in

107
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: where you know he runs cover two, cover three. I

108
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: mean that super Bowl they just won. I think if

109
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 2: you watch most of it, they ran't Cover four against

110
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: Mahomes most of that game and it worked. Like It's

111
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: just it's crazy how dropping these safeties back and keeping

112
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: everything underneath and makes these quarterbacks eventually make a mistake,

113
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: Like you only can be patient for so long, especially

114
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 2: if you're trailing. So this Eagles team, their bigginest weakness

115
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 2: was they lost Milton Williams, Josh Sweat. Like when I

116
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: when I hear people say that stuff, I laugh. I

117
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: think Eagles fans laugh because no one was saying those

118
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: names until that Super Bowl. No no fan outside of

119
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: Philly knew about those guys except you know, until that

120
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: Super Bowl happened. So, yeah, does it matter they lost

121
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: those guys, of course, But to me, being not only

122
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: an Eagles fan, but someone that follows that team through betting,

123
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 2: their best d lineman was Brendan Graham through you know,

124
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: eight weeks last season, Like this is a man that

125
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 2: retired after the season. So that's let you know, how

126
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: that d N group they were just all really solid.

127
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: There was no superstar of that group. So losing those

128
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: two guys it's a big deal. But for this team,

129
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: it's not that big of a deal, and they're real

130
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: The game changer for them has been obviously Jalen Carter,

131
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: but it's the linebackers and the cornerbacks. Like Howie, we

132
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: had one of the worst secondaries in football. We lost

133
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: seven straight games, and he went out and took you know,

134
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: are really the best corner of football in my opinion,

135
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: the Round and then took a guy that you know,

136
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: people now know his name, Cooper Gene because of that

137
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. So you know, when Quinn and Mitchell and

138
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: Cooper Gene could come in and change a whole organization

139
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: in one year, there's gonna be carryover. So that was

140
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: their first year. They're only gonna get better. So I

141
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 2: would say most Eagles fans you talked to are sticking

142
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: their chests out. They're very confident. They believe. I I

143
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: want to hate on them, I want to push him down,

144
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: but I just can't find a weakness on this team.

145
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: And even saw I think yesterday Landon Dickerson got hurt

146
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: here at his knee, which is there, you know, all

147
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: pro guard. That's a huge deal for almost any team

148
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: to lose your all pro guard. He might I don't

149
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: know what the injury is yet. They just said it's

150
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: a knee. Injuries are on his knee. If he's out

151
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: for the season, that that is a big deal. But

152
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 2: with Jeff Stallin another cog in the machine, you expect

153
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: the next guy to step into that guard position won't

154
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: be that big of a downgrade. So yeah, it's if

155
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: they're healthy. I mean, I remember I said at this

156
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: point last year, I think I had I think I

157
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 2: had the forty nine ers at one last year at

158
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 2: this point, then line the Eagles and then the Chiefs

159
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: and people were killing me and I get it, like

160
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 2: they were like, you're being a home or no way

161
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: of the Eagles last year a top three team, and

162
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 2: then we had into the playoffs last year, the Eagles

163
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: were my best bet. It was we did an article

164
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: for Action Network and it was my best bet super bet.

165
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: They were eleven to one. The Eagles a super team.

166
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: People call them a super team. They were eleven to

167
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: one in January head into the playoffs, you could have

168
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: got them a super team, and it's it's just one

169
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: of the things how people just moved the goalpost, right,

170
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: they moved the goalpost, So this is of course they won.

171
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: They had the best defense, they had the best offense,

172
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. It's like, well, why were they eleven

173
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: to one? So I think the whole public's come around

174
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,319
Speaker 2: now on this team. That yeah, divisionalides value is there?

175
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 2: Win total? I would take it. I have them at

176
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: thirteen wins eleven and a half. That's a nice win total.

177
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: Conference in Super Bowl We've already talked about it. There's

178
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: no value there. Rather do Eagles with the matchups because

179
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 2: them to win this conference at three to one, they

180
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: need so many things to break their way once again

181
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 2: like it did last year, right, Like they just need

182
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 2: to be healthy and that is the hardest part in football.

183
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, you can tell I'm really excited and fired

184
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: up for this team because we haven't had a repeat

185
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: champion like we had two. The last time we've had

186
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: a team win two Super Bowls and the next team

187
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: went two Super Bowls was I believe Pittsburgh and Miami

188
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: in the seventies. So that's how long it's been the NFL,

189
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: I think over fifty years now since we've had back

190
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: to back champs where they've gone back to back, back

191
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: to back. So as an Eagles fan, I'm really excited,

192
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: But as a better it's like this is the dream team.

193
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: It was the same thing as last year. Chad knows.

194
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: I love betting teams based on offensive lines and defensive

195
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: lines in their schemes, and this is just another team

196
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 2: that because how he's drafted so well, there's no glaring weakness,

197
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: so I have no fear of the curse of never

198
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 2: went the same team repeating this division. I think this

199
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: is the exact team type of team you need to

200
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 2: break that curse, which is a team that's not even

201
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: talking about last year Super Bowl. They've totally moved on

202
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: totally one direction. It all starts with Jalen Hurts. So yeah,

203
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: very very confident in this divisional bet. This is probably

204
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: my top three of my highest bet right now. It

205
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 2: opened at one fifty deck you dropped at some books

206
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: to one for five. So people are our betten Washington,

207
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: they are Betton Dallas, and they're moving this number. So

208
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: I'm hoping, I'm hoping doesn't get above one fifty Again,

209
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: I think this is this is the right price for

210
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: me and the value wise betten the Seagulls team.

211
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: How we did how we during the draft, first five

212
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: picks on defense across the defensive line, linebackers, and secondary.

213
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: Three of the next four picks on the offensive line.

214
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: I think he knew they needed more offensive line depth.

215
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 1: They lost Makai Becton from that Super Bowl offensive line,

216
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: like you just mentioned Dickerson. We don't know what the

217
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: injury is, but Howie doesn't leave the cover bear in

218
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: the areas where he needs it most filled, where we love,

219
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: which is defensive line offensive line. I'm not even that

220
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: worried about them losing Kellen Moore the offensive coordinator because

221
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: to me, that's one of the reasons they sort of

222
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: fell off a cliff the year after winning the Super

223
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: Bowl is they did not get the coordinators right, both

224
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: offensively or defensively.

225
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 2: They were off right.

226
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: You mentioned Vic Fangio came in, and like, the good

227
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: thing about Fangio is a he's a brilliant defensive coordinator

228
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: who's proven it again and again and again, including last year.

229
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: He's not going to leave to go be a head coach.

230
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: Somewhere.

231
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the Eagles, they didn't go out and look for

232
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator. They basically just promoted a guy

233
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: who's been on staff. Some of the disconnect that Jalen

234
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 1: had in adapting to new offensive coordinators the year after

235
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: winning the Super Bowl, I don't think will be a

236
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: problem this year, even though it's like it's his fifth

237
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in five years.

238
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: Losing Kellen Moore, it's it was a big deal, but

239
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: it's not when I really broke this team down where

240
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 2: they struggled. He wasn't even that big of a game teacher.

241
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: The Eagles were second and least points scored in the

242
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 2: first two quarters of games up until week thirteen, like

243
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: and then we kept betting against him in the First

244
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: War because they could not score for the life of them.

245
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 2: I told you what eventually happened was Jalen Hurts after

246
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: that Bio week, he went to them and just said,

247
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 2: we don't need to be a passing team. We should

248
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: be able to run first team, like we have the

249
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: ultimate cheat code in Saquon Barkley. And this upcoming season,

250
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: I think things might change where they might push the

251
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 2: ball a little bit more downfield. If possible, but I

252
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: look at it as don't change it. If it ain't broke,

253
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 2: don't fix it, like you know what you are, like,

254
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: keep feeding the beast to Sayquan was right him as

255
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,199
Speaker 2: long as you can, as long as he's healthy. So yeah,

256
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: I think you nailed a chat where it's like usually

257
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: i'd be with some teams or it's like, well, you know,

258
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 2: this isn't like losing Ben Johnson. They're losing to a

259
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 2: guy who I think got propped up by the pieces

260
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: around him. He wasn't so much this offensive genius.

261

272
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: Division plus two, twenty five Conference plus eight fifty Super

273
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: Bowl twenty to one win total nine and a half.

274
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: It's very easy to say fade the Commanders, but it's

275
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. I think Jaden Daniels masks

276
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: everything that is wrong with this team. The O line

277
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: not very good. Does Laramie Tunsel make them that much better?

278
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: Is he on the other side of being peak? Terry

279
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: McLaurin holding out? Does Deebo Samuel on the other side

280
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: of peak make this team much better? In both cases

281
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: with Tunsel and Samuel, I think we're getting big time

282
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: guys whose productivity is a year or two behind them.

283
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: So again, they're going to be over reliant on Daniel's

284
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: playmaking ability. He's not just in fields right. He's not

285
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: an irresponsible scrambler. He's not Anthony Richardson. He doesn't make

286
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: himself vulnerable. There's no reason to think that what he

287
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: did last season performance wise was a fluke in terms

288
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: of his ability to keep the chains moving and find

289
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: success on fourth downs. But there's going to be some regression.

290
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: They literally converted nearly every first down, I would go

291
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: under nine and a half here. This would be sort

292
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: of the bet that I would peg in this division.

293
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I have him the seven and a half ones,

294
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: So there are way way way over nine and a half.

295
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: Is I couldn't believe when I saw that open, and

296
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 2: I know people would be like, well, you're being a

297
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: Washington hater, But it's just I think Chad's nailing a

298
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 2: little bit of how fluky last year was in many ways,

299
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: and they're being sucked into you know, if Baker doesn't

300
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 2: turn that ball over, they win that game, right, that

301
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: playoff game, what's their win total if they don't have

302
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: that run, right, it's probably eight and a half because

303
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: of how good they were last year, you know, so

304
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: you're already getting a bad like you're already betting on over.

305
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: If you're betting this with a fake win like that,

306
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: they're getting a bump in the books because of the

307
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: general public's view of this. So I can't believe people

308
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: are being sucked into this team where it's just so

309
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: much about their season last year was fluky, like they

310
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 2: I think they beat maybe it was two winning teams.

311
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: I know it was one team with a winning record

312
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: in the regular season, and it was the Eagles with

313
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: Kenny Pickett. Like I'm trying to think of any other

314
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: team they'd beat with a winning record. I can't think

315
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: of one. So this is just the team that beat

316
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: up on bad teams and you know, respect to them,

317
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: like good coaching. You know, we talked about like that

318
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: was the greatest rookie season we've ever seen, and Daniels

319
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: deserves that respect. So I get why the public is

320
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 2: loving him while the media loves him, and you know,

321
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: people are already putting him as a top five quarterback and

322
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: like everyone's just drinking the cool are right now. And

323
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 2: it's just natural for that because we've never seen anything

324
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 2: like it, Like we never saw a rookies come in

325
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: an offense like he did last year and take them

326
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: to the NFC Championship game. Was incredible. So I get

327
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 2: from their standpoint why they're so high in the sky.

328
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: But you know, like we're talking about here, when you

329
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 2: dive into it, you see how fluky last year it was,

330
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: and then you look at this team here what they've

331
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: added to it. It feels like they just added a

332
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: bunch of old guys, Like yeah, adding Von Miller is

333
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 2: great because he's a leader and there's some things he

334
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 2: can do, but that's not a game changing piece. Debo.

335
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 2: I like the move because you're going down and you're

336
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 2: trying to make your team better. But haven't we seen

337
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 2: what Debo has become? Right, He's just not the same

338
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: type of player as he was before, and his aggressive

339
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: style it seems like a it adds to him getting

340
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,359
Speaker 2: hurt more often than not. So there's just so many

341
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: questions here. And then the number one thing that really

342
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: is pissing me off is this whole McLaurin thing. I

343
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: don't get it. I don't get how these organizations, with

344
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 2: these billionaire billion dollar owners like Josh Harris to just

345
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: pay this man's money like what he Terry went through

346
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: the dark days of Washington. He's been there through all

347
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 2: the shit and you never heard a word from him,

348
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 2: and every year he would go out and put out

349
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: another thousand yard season and finally you get a quarterback

350
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: perfect for him, and you want to be tight about it.

351
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 2: I just I hate it. I hated so much for

352
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 2: this Washington team because this is the window, like you

353
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: got Daniels on this cheap money, pay pay mclauren. If

354
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 2: you're worried about his age because I don't know if

355
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 2: he's thirty one or thirty, give back a three year

356
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 2: deal there. Just make it all guarantee, like he deserves that,

357
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 2: all that money and then so he's just he doesn't

358
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 2: get hurt. He always plays hard, and I hate this

359
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 2: distracted from them. So yeah, someone that likes their under

360
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 2: this is all good. This is all good things like

361
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: this drama, all field stuff. So yeah, to me, commandage

362
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 2: right now, we haven't a plus plus two hundred and

363
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: twenty five to win this division. I got them at

364
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: plus four hundred. I actually have Dallas at plus three hundred,

365
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: So I am way off compared to with the books

366
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: in the general public thing of this division, where I

367
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 2: think Dallas is clearly the second best team miss division.

368
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 2: The general public and some professional betters really believe this

369
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: Washington team. So I think it's a big miss and

370
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: I think we're on the same page. We expect a

371
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 2: lot of regression from Jane Daniels, but it's really the schedule,

372
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 2: Like their schedule was just so much harder than it

373
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 2: was last year. I just I can't see a ward

374
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: where they get the ten wins. It just seems like

375
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: it's going to be impossible with how hard the schedule was,

376
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 2: how much luck they need to break their way.

377
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm so glad to hear you say that, because when

378
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: I was taking a stand on this being my favorite

379
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: bet that they're under, I didn't know your rankings and

380
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: ratings had them at seven in and a half, which

381
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: two games, but you yeah, that's like one of the

382
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: biggest deltas we have here. So I'm feeling really good.

383
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 2: It's not knocking the talent of the team. I just

384
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: think it's just the schedule so tough, Like it's just

385
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 2: not like it was last year they had kind of.

386
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: They gotta they gotta play the teams in their division.

387
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: The Cowboys will be better. Yeah, they gotta play. They

388
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: gotta play. They gotta play the Cowboys twice. They got

389
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: to play the Eagles twice. They got to play the Chiefs,

390
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: they got to play the Vikings, they got to play

391
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: the Packers, they got to play the Lions.

392
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: Like it is not. Yeah, it's not. It's tough. So

393
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 2: that's that's my hesitation with them. People Like I get

394
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 2: why people are drinking the cool of that coming in,

395
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 2: but it's just it's the it's too Chad started at

396
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 2: the top of the show with it's who these who.

397
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: This conference plays outside their division, and with the way

398
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: their schedule breaks, it's just really tough for a young

399
00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 2: team like this.

400
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys six to one to win the Division, plus

401
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: six hundred Conference twenty five to one, Super Bowl fifty

402
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: to one win total, a paltry seven and a half.

403
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 4: Burning bright beneath the North Texas sky, in the heart

404
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 4: of the lone Star State is a galaxy of extraordinary

405
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 4: football players. They are the Dallas Cowboys.

406
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: So listen. You and I have talked about the Cowboys

407
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: a lot this offseason. We've liked their value in the

408
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: division all off season long. I bet them on the

409
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: money line to beat the Eagles in Week one. I

410
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,959
Speaker 1: bet them at plus seven to beat the Eagles in

411
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: Week one, and before the Micah Parsons drama, this was

412
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: all yes, yes, yes, yes yes, And like you have

413
00:21:54,640 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: been very influential in reminding me how good Dak can

414
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: be and that he is coming back this year, so

415
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be down on this team. And I kept

416
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: remembering that the defensive line last year was playing second

417
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: and third stringers. For a large part of the year,

418
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: and that Micah Parsons is hopefully when I was making

419
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: these plays, going to be back. Jerry Jones is fucking

420
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: this shit up you just talked about like Josh Harris Pey,

421
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin. This is changing the dynamic for me all

422
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: of a sudden. Micah Parsons, even if he plays, might

423
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: not be in shape. The offensive line keeps losing starters

424
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: to injury. Dak is a thirty one year old who's

425
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: clearly got creaky wheels, so he won't be as mobile

426
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: as he has been. George Pickens could be a temper

427
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: tantrum away from ruining Brian Schottenheimer's rookie season. I'm losing

428
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: all my enthusiasm.

429
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 2: Simon good we don't want you on this boat. So

430
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 2: it's no one likes this team. That's what's been so fun.

431
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: Like I remember when we did our live show, and

432
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: I feel like it was years ago. It is whatever

433
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 2: March or April, and I gave it. I was my

434
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: best bet the live show and it was it was

435
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 2: met by son of Booze and I am with you people.

436
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 2: We all hate Dallas, Dallas, you know, being the only

437
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: team the NFC not to make the NFC Championship game

438
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 2: in the last thirty years. It warms my cold cold heart.

439
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 2: I love it like it's it's the best thing ever.

440
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 2: Like that meme of you know, Eagles watching their Super

441
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 2: Bowl reel on a DVD or on YouTube and Cowboys

442
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: fans plugging in the VHS tape to watch their Super

443
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: Bowl reel. I love it. I drink it up, and

444
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 2: you know I hate that. I have to be the guy,

445
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 2: the Gifford you want to get in here. Let's hear

446
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: it concisely.

447
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 3: I don't think they're good enough anywhere offense, defense, but

448
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 3: I think there's enough there to get to eight. It's

449
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 3: probably looking like a classic Dallas Cowboys first round playoff

450
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 3: exit team, but that that's eight nine wins.

451
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 2: I just don't want upside.

452
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: Markets don't take good enough anywhere around the ball.

453
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: So and again I talked to a lot of Cowboys

454
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,719
Speaker 2: fans because shockingly, people wouldn't believe if you're not from Philadelphia,

455
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 2: we have a shocking amount of Cowboys fans in this area.

456
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 2: Like when I go to a sports book even the offseason,

457
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 2: there's about a thirty percent chance I will see a

458
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: Dallas cowboy hat or jersey in the sports book at

459
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: any given time they are here and talking to them,

460
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 2: this is exactly the team. This is what you want.

461
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: They have no confidence. If you talk to a Cowboys

462
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: fan last year, holy shit, where they shit on this

463
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: Eagles team talking about how they were gonna run away

464
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: with this division, how they're the best. Now they're all out.

465
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: They do not like or trust this team. They're not

466
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: that confident. And I'm the other way where it's like,

467
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 2: this is the same Dallas team that's probably gonna get

468
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 2: the twelve wins or eleven wins. This is what they do.

469
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: And people can shoot on Dak for what he does

470
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: in the playoffs. I agree, and and we're not talking

471
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: about that. We're talking about regular season right now. I'm

472
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 2: talking about win totals. And this was when I hammered

473
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 2: and I was pissed my model. I was like, oh,

474
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 2: my model will have this at ten. It doesn't it

475
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 2: as an eight and a half because they do have

476
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 2: a tough schedule. That's cool, it's a game above. So

477
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 2: it's like, because I already invested really heavily before I

478
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,959
Speaker 2: really ran and dove into it, because when it first opened.

479
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 2: I couldn't believe it. And then we saw when the

480
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 2: schedule came out, the books were kind of ahead of it, right,

481
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 2: Them having four Thursday games, it's criminal, like them playing

482
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: the Chiefs on a short week. That's brutal. But hear

483
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: me out here, Chad, let me paint this Dallas Cowboys

484
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: stealing this division pitcher and how they can get to

485
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: twelve wins. They start with the Eagles, say they steal

486
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 2: that game opening ing Doc always plays well against the Eagles,

487
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 2: and this is the perfect time to steal this type

488
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: of game, Like, no one's gonna be counted on them.

489
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 2: Everyone's out on them. I think they're still a seven

490
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 2: point dog. Dak Prescott's a seven point dog against the Eagles.

491
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: It's crazy. If they steal that game, then beat the Giants,

492
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: then beat Chicago, that's a three and oh start, that's

493
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: not that crazy. Then beating the Giants or Chicago. Okay,

494
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 2: Green Bay is their kryptonite, but that's at home. Okay,

495
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 2: I'll say they lose that game, then they go Jets,

496
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: Carolina Washington. They're Washington's daddy. So like to me, you're

497
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: looking at a team right here, they'd be sitting at

498
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: six and one head into Denver, so like it's all

499
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 2: laid out for me in my opinion of like, if

500
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: they can get out to a hot start, if they

501
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: can go seven and two headed into their bye week,

502
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 2: head into Vegas, it's all there because they literally go Vegas,

503
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 2: then they get affillate at home. Like it it lines

504
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: up for them early in the year that they could

505
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 2: if they can come out and play well, they can

506
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 2: easily see this division. I think people are two down

507
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 2: on DAK and this offense where Pickens with CD, I

508
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: don't think people wrap their heads around how Delhi vicmbo

509
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 2: this is going through big like Seawanenheimer could be a

510
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 2: full on fucking idiot, and it's gonna work. On offense.

511
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: I'm telling you it's gonna work because exactly what DAK

512
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: likes to do, which is run crow routes or slants

513
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: across the middle. Pickens is deadly, especially about fades too,

514
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: which is really deadly. And CD has never had that.

515
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: CDs always live with two or three shell cover. Now

516
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 2: you're going to get him maybe single cover sometimes it's

517
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 2: usually it's probably gonna still be double. But even that

518
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: he can beat the doubles. So I am just so

519
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: so so happy that this number is still plus six

520
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 2: hundred because I gave it U plus seven hundred, and

521
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 2: I thought for sure this would be plus five hundred,

522
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 2: plus four hundred by now. Still no one's drinking the

523
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: cool and everyone just hates this Dallas team. So yeah,

524
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 2: this even though I love the Eagles, I've I've hyped

525
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: it up. This is clearly my favorite value wised divisional

526
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: bet plus six hundred. It's amazing, amazing odds where I'm

527
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 2: telling you people, they are not that much worse than

528
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 2: the Eagles. I have him a plus three hundred for

529
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: this division and for a win total again, my model

530
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: has an eight and a half. I think this is

531
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 2: easily a ten win team, nine win team, so seven

532
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: and a half. It's one of my favorite totals. I've

533
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 2: been betting it for three months now. It's just it's

534
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 2: lined up for this team. I just even even with

535
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 2: the Parsons drama, I agree with you, this is what

536
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 2: Jerry does like. Jerry just does this type of thing.

537
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 2: So I'm with you. I wish it wasn't happen in

538
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: this way and it could get ugly quick, but as

539
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 2: we sit here right now, what is it, August twelfth,

540
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 2: August eleventh. I'm confident that if they get it done

541
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 2: the next week or two, that's plenty of time. Two

542
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: three weeks for Parsons to get into game shape before

543
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 2: this Eagles game. I think that's plenty of time. Where

544
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 2: he's been working out, but like you said, he's been

545
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: doing zero contact, which is an issue, like you need

546
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: to have contact in the preseason to get ready for

547
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 2: the upcoming season. So I'm with that's that's the only

548
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 2: reason I'm not all in this team. I think the

549
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 2: Eagles are still going to seal this win this division.

550
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 2: It's just it's it's the Jerry Jones effect. He just

551
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 2: there's so much extra bullshit that these other teams don't

552
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 2: have to deal with when you have Jerry Jones as

553
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: your owner.

554
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 4: Consistency is a cowboy trade bark underscored by winning seasons,

555
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 4: division titles, and world championship.

556
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: So, as has been the theme for the past couple

557
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: of shows, we're generally on the same side. I feel

558
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: like the things that you're discounting is not mattering. Specifically,

559
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: the Micah Parson stuff. He kind of glossed over offensive

560
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: line because I do think that offensive line injuries are

561
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: piling up for them already, and they were already having

562
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: to figure out what to do with an offensive line

563
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: that matters with a quarterback who's.

564
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 2: Negative offensive line brother in like three four years, Like

565
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: you're thinking.

566
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: Of what's getting hurt.

567
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but again he's every year they went twelve games,

568
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: Like last year was the anomaly he got hurt. I

569
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: think he was three and five when he got hurt,

570
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: like he was not playing well. I agree with you,

571
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 2: but like again, people have just moved too quick. Like

572
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 2: you didn't even have Dak in your top ten. You

573
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: you're out on me. I don't even you had him

574
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: your top fifteen. So that's what I mean. People are

575
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: just totally out on Dak in the team. Listen, you

576
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 2: didn't mention his name. You mentioned to his name rather

577
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:45,959
Speaker 2: than mentioned that is well, I'm not letting you.

578
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: That is revisionist history. I had Dak at thirteen.

579
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah bullshit. So that's what I mean. It's just they

580
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 2: just line up as this team where people don't like

581
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: their head coach, they're all negative about it, and end

582
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 2: of the year they're going to have some how it

583
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: went some way, somehow they're gonna have double digit wins

584
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 2: and it's just the talent level is that high. I

585
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: think they just have so much talent. And my only

586
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: fear right now for this team is what you just

587
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 2: talked about the Parsons with that d line. If it's

588
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 2: a distraction, if they didn't, you know, add the right pieces,

589
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: they still can't stop the run. Yeah, their defense could

590
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: be atrocious, but that offense, man like Dak has the

591
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 2: ultimate weapons. And your question about their offensive line, they've

592
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: been drafting offensive linemen and they've got some guys in

593
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 2: there that I think, do you project out to be

594
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 2: pretty good? So that's why I'm not as worried about

595
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: them as you are. Where it's like, you know, if

596
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 2: you want to talk about bad offensive lines, I could

597
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 2: spend a half hour in Miami's offensive line. So it's

598
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: like you got to give and take with you certain

599
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: teams about I'm with you. There are some injuries, but yeah,

600
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 2: it's I think that with the weapons they have in Dallas,

601
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: I just I don't get why Washington's the second favorite

602
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: team this division. I just think it should be Dallas again.

603
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 2: As much of them going to Dallas here, still people

604
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: don't forget Eagles to win this division, still probably the

605
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 2: best bet at minus one four forty five.

606
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: New York Football Giants thirty to one to win the division,

607
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: seventy five to one to win the conference, two hundred

608
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: to one to win the Super Bowl win total five

609
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: and a half.

610
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 4: The New York Giants' glory years are a distant memory

611
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 4: for their long suffering followers who have endured through the

612
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 4: worst of time. But today anticipation has replaced frustration.

613
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: I've been grilling Ai constantly the last couple of weeks

614
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: about the advanced metrics. The best correlate to covering.

615
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: Oh that poor Ai.

616
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: Spread no matter anyway I slice it. Defense comes up,

617
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: and we talked about this with the Jets, right like

618
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: defense success rate, defensive EPA pressure rate. If the Giants

619
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: have Dexter Lawrence healthy in the middle of the defensive line,

620
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: they can be a very disruptive force. When they were

621
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: when he was healthy last year top ten and pressure

622
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: rate because as he commands so much attention, it made

623
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: life so much easier for Caveon Thibodeaux and Brian Burns.

624
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: Now they have Abdua Carter. So I was leaning to

625
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 1: the over and I think a lot of it is

626
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: similar to what you were saying about the Jets, Like

627
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: they have the scheme and they have the defense that

628
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: I think can be really impactful, and I kind of

629
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: have to believe that their quarterback, probably Russell Wilson, can

630
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: be competent enough to allow them to steal a couple

631
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: of games. Because they got the Commanders, Cowboys Chiefs to start.

632
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: Not easy, but then they got the Saints in Week four.

633
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: Then it gets hard again. Eagles Broncos, Eagles Niners. But

634
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,239
Speaker 1: this defense makes it hard for me to commit it.

635
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 2: No, don't, don't overthink it. You just nailed it there.

636
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 2: They're dead. They are dead. They're in an impossible defense

637
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: and a possible division without a quarterback, like it's there.

638
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: When I first saw their schedule, I thought it was

639
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 2: a glitch. I was like, wait, this is the last

640
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: place schedule. Who's the last place teams they play like

641
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 2: it's the Saints. That's the one gift they get from

642
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: becoming in last place. It's brutal. Their schedule is brutal.

643
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: There is no it feels like there's no two weeks

644
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 2: of just relief, like they're they're the relief this year

645
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: for all all these different teams like this is just yeah,

646
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 2: their defensive line might be all right, and Russell Wilson,

647
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: sure he could steal a game, like Neighbors is an

648
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: incredible receiver. We've seen, you know, their head coach win

649
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: games with a guy that you know shouldn't even be

650
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 2: in the league. Like it's they they do have good

651
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,479
Speaker 2: coaching and they do have talent across the defense. I'm

652
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,239
Speaker 2: with you, I want to get into it, but you know,

653
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,719
Speaker 2: Andrew Thomas, their best offensive line is already hurt. Like

654
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: that's that's a nightmare. Me and you talked about last year.

655
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 2: We didn't put a single dollar on them he went

656
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: down because we were just like, they're never whoever's quarterback

657
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 2: there is just gonna die. And that's what happened in

658
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 2: the season. So it's it sucks. We're like people obviously

659
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 2: have seen a pattern here. I love betting the worst

660
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 2: teams in divisions because it's always you always gonna lie

661
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 2: to yourself in a lot and and kind of think

662
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 2: to yourself, they can find six wins, like you know,

663
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 2: there's there's ways to get there. But with this team,

664
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: despite what Chad said, which is true, like they have

665
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: probably one of the best two lines in all football.

666
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 2: They might have one of the worst secondaries in all football.

667
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 2: They might have one of the worst offensive lines of football.

668
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: They don't have a running back. Like, what the hell

669
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: is That Dude's name is Cam Skattaboo. He's fun. I

670
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 2: love watching his college highlights. That dude looks like he

671
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 2: runs a five, like a five point oh forty like

672
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: he I don't know if he's gonna be the game changer.

673
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 2: They need it running back. And you know, as much

674
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 2: as we love neighbors, teams were happy to let neighbors

675
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 2: be the only guy to beat them. Right last year

676
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 2: we saw that where they would get up by twenty

677
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: and you can stop doubling Neighbors get his junk time yards.

678
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 2: So it's it's just a team where I can't find

679
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: five wins, let alone four wins. They just they screamed

680
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 2: to be top of the draft type of team. And

681
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 2: if I was them, I would just start dart from

682
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: get go. Like to me, he had one throw in

683
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 2: the preseason. That's all I needed to see where it's like, Okay,

684
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 2: this kid's raw. He might not know how it takes

685
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 2: snaps from under center and come in an offense, but

686
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 2: let's just get him out there and let the bullets fly.

687
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 2: Let him just get through it, because if he can

688
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 2: show something, then you keep him. If not, you're gonna

689
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 2: once again have a top two, top three draft pick.

690
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 2: Like this, there's just no way this team is outside

691
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 2: that draft zone. So it's it's dark days right now

692
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 2: for Giants fans, Like, it's just you're in a division

693
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: now with Jane Daniels, Dak, and Jalen Hurts, which I mean,

694
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 2: I think Chad's come around on Dak a little, but

695
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 2: he probably would say Dak's close to a top ten quarterback.

696
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,439
Speaker 2: That's brutal. You're in a division with three potential top

697
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 2: ten quarterbacks. You're so far behind the eight ball. So yeah,

698
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 2: I did. I wanted to get there with you Giants

699
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 2: fans and find wins for you guys. If I look

700
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 2: at it, I'm just like, if they got the three

701
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 2: wins this year, that to me would be a good

702
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 2: season for this Giants team. That's how brutal of the

703
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 2: schedule is, and that's how bad their team is when

704
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 2: I plug them into my model. So I gotta have

705
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: four wins if you get over three tons of respect

706
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 2: to this team. But yeah, five and a half. I'll

707
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 2: take that under every time if it's a game and

708
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 2: a half. So yeah, there it should be. They're two

709
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: hundred and one to win the super Bowl. That that

710
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 2: that sounds right. They are that bad nightmare schedule. Yeah,

711
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,439
Speaker 2: Like if you're a season ticket a order, I would

712
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 2: take the year off from a Giants fan like this.

713
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: I was shocked when I went through the schedule and

714
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: I looked at it. I'm like, this is fucking insane.

715
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: How was this the last play schedule?

716
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: I couldn't How do they do this to somebody? Yeah,

717
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,760
Speaker 1: the scriptwriters did not get the memo that you gotta

718
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: make one of the marquee teams in the biggest city

719
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 1: have a little bit of a fighting chance.

720
00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 2: It's it's they're just again, they're in a really brutal vision.

721
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: Our outside division games this year are just awful. Like

722
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,720
Speaker 2: it's just like you said, playing playing the AFC North,

723
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 2: or yeah, it's AFC North playing the AFC West. It

724
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: doesn't get much worse.

725
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: Favorite division bet for you it's the Eagles minus one

726
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: forty five and then maybe a little taste of the Cowboys.

727
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 2: It that's Cowboy's definitely best value for long shot.

728
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 1: Six to one. I like the Commanders under nine and

729
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: a half total wins. The Favorites will return with our
