Speaker 1: the Dodgers winning their eighth World Series title. I think
Speaker 1: I'm very clever headline Walker Buehler's two days Off Ferris
Speaker 1: Bueller Walker Anyway, I love Dave robbers who deals Because
Speaker 1: of the Dodgers' payroll and their commitment to Betts and
Speaker 1: Freeman and Otani, it's like an all star team. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on Dave Roberts, and you know,
Speaker 1: here's a guy with the Red Sox. Here's a guy
Speaker 1: you know, wins a World Series and then Dodgers as
Speaker 1: a manager, and I just think he's a classy guy
Speaker 1: who's taken a lot of shit and he did a
Speaker 1: great job, a masterful job of not only managing the team,
Speaker 1: but managing his resources. Now, I felt very strongly tonight
Speaker 1: that it was going to go back to La and
Speaker 1: the Dodgers were going to pitch, at least I thought
Speaker 1: this in the eighth inning. They were gonna pitch Yamamoto
Speaker 1: and Walker Buehler, their two best pitchers at home, whereas
Speaker 1: the Yankees just expanded Garrett Cole so he's done for
Speaker 1: the series and they go on the road. But I
Speaker 1: really thought as much as the Dodgers won tonight, I
Speaker 1: thought the Yankees and I thought they were the inferior team.
Speaker 1: I thought they gave the game away and the fifth
Speaker 1: innings of the craziest thing I've ever seen. Over the
Speaker 1: course of ten minutes, Aaron Judge, with a five to
Speaker 1: nothing lead, drops a routine fly ball. It was the
Speaker 1: kind of ball that you if you're playing catch with
Speaker 1: a friend. He drops a routine flyball. Then vulpay it
Speaker 1: short short hops a throw to third, and then Garrett Cole,
Speaker 1: who had a masterful one hundred and eight pitching performance,
Speaker 1: doesn't cover first space. It would be a you would
Speaker 1: think that was a bad spring training performance. You'd get
Speaker 1: chewed out after a spring training game. To be in
Speaker 1: a World Series game and have three miscues one after
Speaker 1: the other is just insane. And then the game is tied,
Speaker 1: and then I felt like the Dodgers were play saying
Speaker 1: loose and with house money. I mean, at that point,
Speaker 1: I mean, you get down five nothing, You're like, okay,
Speaker 1: we're going back to La. We got Yamamoto Yamamoto, We've
Speaker 1: got Walker Bueller. This will be it for Garrett Cole.
Speaker 1: We have a pitching advantage, hitting advantage, home field advantage.
Speaker 1: They're not going to win four straight against us. That's
Speaker 1: what it felt like to me. And it's so all
Speaker 1: bets are off. But God and Max Munsey, who was
Speaker 1: just great in the NLCS had a rough World series,
Speaker 1: Otani didn't hit, and Dave Roberts, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people that didn't want Max
Speaker 1: Munsey coming up, you know that final time. So you
Speaker 1: got Munsey's struggling, Otani's struggling. And remember Jack Flaherty, who
Speaker 1: the Dodgers got. There was a story last week, I
Speaker 1: think it was in the La Times where his velocity
Speaker 1: had come down. So you know, he he didn't look like,
Speaker 1: you know, he had his best stuff. So after the
Speaker 1: bullpen lost yesterday, Flarerty struggling today, you're thinking, you know,
Speaker 1: to me, it was just like, okay, you're going home,
Speaker 1: Yama Moto Walker, Buller's stuff is nasty. You're in great shape.
Speaker 1: I've been taking notes for four hours. I got so
Speaker 1: many notes. And then you know again the Yankees in
Speaker 1: the top of the eighth, you got back to back
Speaker 1: singles by Keith Hernandez and Tommy Edmond and then Will
Speaker 1: Smith walks you have no no outs in the bases loaded,
Speaker 1: and so you get and then there's a catcher's interference
Speaker 1: against the Yankees. So god, it's like the fifth and
Speaker 1: the eighth. It was just time after time the Yankees,
Speaker 1: you know. And you know, as I said before, I
Speaker 1: don't watch a ton of baseball in the regular season.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's on in my house with the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: When I lived I worked at ESPN back East, I
Speaker 1: always had the Yankees of the Red Sox on. It
Speaker 1: was the Yes networker Nessen, I watch my local team, right.
Speaker 1: I kind of keep track because I used to work
Speaker 1: for the Podres, so I kind of keep track of
Speaker 1: the Padres a little bit. But this was a game
Speaker 1: in which the Yankees just kept giving the Dodgers every
Speaker 1: break in the fifth inning and the eighth inning, and
Speaker 1: catchers interference and airs and free passes, and the Dodgers eventually,
Speaker 1: you know, took advantage of it. So, you know, it's interesting.
Speaker 1: Years and years ago, there's a coach, the late lout
Speaker 1: Olsen coach at Arizona. He had great teams in the
Speaker 1: tournament and he just could not win a championship. And
Speaker 1: there was a lot of years they went in as
Speaker 1: a heavy favorite, lost in the first round, and then
Speaker 1: eventually they got this team with Miles Simon and a
Speaker 1: bunch of freshmen and a bunch of kids, and they
Speaker 1: won the national championship. And it's just so interesting. So
Speaker 1: many times with Dave Roberts and the Dodgers, you've got
Speaker 1: into the playoffs and you felt really strongly about them,
Speaker 1: and they just they kind of unravel and they have
Speaker 1: a bad pitching performance this year. I mean, think about it.
Speaker 1: In this World Series, Otani dried up. Max Munsey, who
Speaker 1: was brilliant in the NLCS, dried up all of a
Speaker 1: sudden going into the World Series, flared these velocity dips.
Speaker 1: You've already used forty pitchers. You're going into a World Series,
Speaker 1: coming out of a NASH League divisional series, in a
Speaker 1: championship series where you had to have bullpen games. You're
Speaker 1: just managing resources of all the years to win it.
Speaker 1: If you'd written down this script and said, yeah, oh Tony,
Speaker 1: it will just be brutal in a series, Max Munsey
Speaker 1: will dry up. I mean you'll have basically two starting pitchers.
Speaker 1: And Walker Bulder was kind of crossing your fingers because
Speaker 1: he's been hurt for a year and a half, two years.
Speaker 1: So God, that fifth inning, I think all five of
Speaker 1: those runs the Dodger scored, I think all five were unearned.
Speaker 1: Has that ever happened in a World Series game? Five
Speaker 1: hundred runs. Well, it's just it's just crazy, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's you just never known these championships where they come from.
Speaker 1: And I thought it was interesting that the World Series
Speaker 1: came down to Garrett Cole being pulled, not singularly came
Speaker 1: down to but Garrett Cole being pulled in Game one,
Speaker 1: got a lot of heat, and then Garrett Cole not
Speaker 1: covering first kept that fifth inning going for the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: So Garrett Cole, who was you know, they're the best
Speaker 1: pitcher in the series for either team I think ended
Speaker 1: up being so crucial. Probably pulled a little early at
Speaker 1: eighty eight pitches and the Dodgers, you know, had to
Speaker 1: go to their bullpen, and good luck against the Dodgers
Speaker 1: at Dodgers Stadium with your bullpen. And then in this
Speaker 1: fifth inning, you know, he was, he was brilliant tonight,
Speaker 1: one hundred and eight pitches, but he didn't cover first base.
Speaker 1: I mean that just crazy to me. A guy that
Speaker 1: zoned in doesn't cover first base. So I mean, the
Speaker 1: Dodgers aren't going anywhere. I mean, it's just so many,
Speaker 1: so many things went wrong physically for the Dodgers. I mean,
Speaker 1: Otani's shoulders collarbone. I mean, what are the chances of
Speaker 1: that on a slide to second base. You're looking at
Speaker 1: any you're thinking there's no collision. All of a sudden
Speaker 1: he grabs his shoulder and you're like, you gotta be
Speaker 1: kidding me. The timing's terrible. Ends up. They didn't need him,
Speaker 1: So it's easy. I find it's easy to root for
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. I think it's a really classy organization from
Speaker 1: research and developed. They don't miss on trades. You know,
Speaker 1: when they call guys up, they deliver. It's just it's just,
Speaker 1: you know, Kershaw to Otani to Betts, to Freddie Freeman's story,
Speaker 1: to Dave Roberts, to the late Vince Scully and now
Speaker 1: Joe Davis. You're just it's class personified as an organization.
Speaker 1: And you can blame Aaron Boone and you can blame
Speaker 1: the defense in the fifth inning, But I mean, if
Speaker 1: you really looked at what was happening, if the Dodgers
Speaker 1: would have not come back in the fifth inning, you
Speaker 1: were going to la to face the Dodgers best to pitchers,
Speaker 1: and at some point Otani was going to get a
Speaker 1: big hit. I mean, Aaron Judge, finally, Aaron Judge tonight
Speaker 1: roared back, I mean really roared back tonight, and despite
Speaker 1: what happened in the World Series, the Dodgers three years
Speaker 1: ago set their sights on Otani and what a signific
Speaker 1: an upgrade for him personally, because you know, when you
Speaker 1: get these star players, it always reminds me to a
Speaker 1: lesser version of like Joe Mauer with the Twins or
Speaker 1: a Joey Vado with a Cincinnati Reds, where you just
Speaker 1: can't you pay him and you can't surround him with
Speaker 1: elite players, and the Angels couldn't really do that. But
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers, you can have him cleanup, you can
Speaker 1: beat him third fourth, You're gonna have Mooky Betts and
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman and Max Muncy, you know, and tremendous players
Speaker 1: all around him. He's gonna usually get better pictures. And
Speaker 1: it's just I mean, for him to be as as
Speaker 1: classy as he was. I mean, this season started with
Speaker 1: that you know, gambling story, which could have derailed the franchise,
Speaker 1: derailed his career, and he was just poised, under control,
Speaker 1: beloved in the locker room, fit right in and it
Speaker 1: feels like they're just certain players. I mean, it's like
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge needs to be a Yankee, right, like Otani
Speaker 1: really needs to be a Dodger. It's nothing against the Angels,
Speaker 1: but you know, they're just the Dodgers have more resources
Speaker 1: and the Yankees have more resources, and there's just a
Speaker 1: handful of teams that can surround these great players with
Speaker 1: better players so they get better pitches. And I just
Speaker 1: I just thought think of how the season started pretty
Speaker 1: bumpy for Otani and it ended pretty bumpy. But let's
Speaker 1: not forget what he produced. For a majority ninety five
Speaker 1: percent of this season. He was the best player by
Speaker 1: a lot, and that's saying something. On a team with
Speaker 1: Bets and Freeman and Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper and
Speaker 1: the amazing players in Major League Baseball, Otani, by a
Speaker 1: long shot fifty to fifty club was the best player
Speaker 1: in baseball. I like how it ends for him and
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. So great players eventually have their moment on
Speaker 1: a stage like this. The congratulations to the Los Angeles
Speaker 1: Dodgers in what was one of the weirdest, most bizarro
Speaker 1: World Series games I've ever seen, and a pretty quick
Speaker 1: series where a stack roster despite all the injuries, one
Speaker 1: Hi everybody and welcome in. In about ten minutes, we'll
Speaker 1: have Chad Millman, which we do sharper square where I
Speaker 1: give him about seven or eight of my picks and
Speaker 1: he chews him up and spits him out. And I'm
Speaker 1: taking more and more favorites these days, as I think,
Speaker 1: you do get to a point in the season where
Speaker 1: the better teams separate, the better coaches separate. Everybody gets
Speaker 1: banged up. It's a war of attrition at this point.
Speaker 1: You see all these players dropping. Sometimes DeVante Adams, the
Speaker 1: player goes out, comes back in. He did had a touchdown.
Speaker 1: So the Jets beat the Texans twenty one to thirteen
Speaker 1: on Hallowing. The Jets dressed up as a pretty good
Speaker 1: football team. Aaron Rodgers I thought played especially, you know,
Speaker 1: in the second half. I thought he played pretty well.
Speaker 1: I've seen that so many times this year where a
Speaker 1: quarterback brought purtty against the Cowboys Russell Wilson a couple
Speaker 1: of times Aaron Rodgers tonight, where it just they just
Speaker 1: can't get it right in the first half and then
Speaker 1: they just they get warmed up. And I thought Aaron
Speaker 1: played a really good second half. You know, when you
Speaker 1: have Bresol. When you have Devonte Adams, when you have
Speaker 1: Garrett Wilson, you know, those are real weapons, you know,
Speaker 1: if you can get decent protection. Aaron had a nice
Speaker 1: run tonight. It got called back because of a holding
Speaker 1: on the rookie from Penn State, but that was a
Speaker 1: really nice run. He had two hundred and eleven yards,
Speaker 1: twenty two to thirty two, three tds, no picks. I
Speaker 1: like the Jets tonight. It was one of my stronger plays.
Speaker 1: It would have been my first or second strongest play
Speaker 1: if it was on Sunday. And I think the you
Speaker 1: know the reality of this game. It was a really
Speaker 1: bad spot for a beat up Texans team that can't
Speaker 1: protect CJ. Stroud. So the Jets had eight sacks tonight,
Speaker 1: which is about double what teams have beginning against Houston.
Speaker 1: But they're you know, they're down to Tank Dell and
Speaker 1: a bunch of third and fourth level receivers. So it
Speaker 1: was a good spot for the Jets. And what's interesting
Speaker 1: for the Jets and this is why this win matters.
Speaker 1: So yeah, two of their wins a short week at
Speaker 1: home Patriots and Texans. But now think about this, it's
Speaker 1: an advantage because the Jets are not going to win
Speaker 1: a division. We know the Bills are going to win
Speaker 1: the division. The Ravens will eventually win their division, The
Speaker 1: Chiefs will win their division, Colts, Texans will go back
Speaker 1: and forth. But this is key the teams. The Jets
Speaker 1: only hope to get into the playoffs is as a
Speaker 1: wild card team, and right now, unless they go on
Speaker 1: a losing streak, Pittsburgh looks like it will be one
Speaker 1: of those wild card teams. But there's two other wild
Speaker 1: card spots. And the good news is the Jags could
Speaker 1: be one of those teams the Jets play them. The
Speaker 1: Colts could be one of those teams. Jets host them
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. The Texans could be one
Speaker 1: of those teams. The Jets just beat them. So it
Speaker 1: looks like to me, the three playoff teams in the
Speaker 1: AFC we know are Bills, Ravens will make it. They're
Speaker 1: just too good unless Lamar got hurt, and the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: and then you're going to be battling the Colts, the Jags,
Speaker 1: the Texans, the Chargers, the Steelers for three wildcard spots.
Speaker 1: And you've already got a w over the Texans and
Speaker 1: you get the Colts at home. You also get the
Speaker 1: advantage when you play on Thursday night, you get four
Speaker 1: days extra rest against your next opponent, that's Arizona. So
Speaker 1: they'll have to travel out to the desert in Arizona,
Speaker 1: but you got extra rest. Arizona plays a very physical
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears team, a really good defense for the Chicago
Speaker 1: Bears off a humiliating loss, so I'm sure the Bears,
Speaker 1: you know, that's gonna be a physical game against Arizona.
Speaker 1: You're going to be more rested, more prepared. With a
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback and Aaron Rodgers coming off a very good outing.
Speaker 1: The more he plays with the Vonte Adams, the vetter,
Speaker 1: it's gonna work. So they've got the pieces. I don't
Speaker 1: think they're a brilliantly coached team, but I've said this before.
Speaker 1: There's three really good teams in the AFC. Then you
Speaker 1: know it's pretty mushy in the wild card race. Miami's
Speaker 1: not as good as we thought. Chargers just they have
Speaker 1: very limited firepower unless they make a trade at the deadline,
Speaker 1: the Chargers are going to be in a bunch of
Speaker 1: close games. If they played the Jets tomorrow, it would
Speaker 1: be a close game. I mean, the Chargers just can't.
Speaker 1: They can't beat anybody badly. They don't have any playmakers.
Speaker 1: Lad McConkie, the rookie is like a two. He's twitchy
Speaker 1: and clever, but he's not a burner. He's not an
Speaker 1: over the top guy. Doesn't have huge separation in the NFL. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's what do I think about the Jets? Well,
Speaker 1: they ran for about one hundred yards tonight, Aaron was comfortable,
Speaker 1: Aaron had time to throw, and the schedule works out
Speaker 1: extra rest for Arizona, Colt Seattle at home, Rams later
Speaker 1: at home. I mean, only one team the Jets played
Speaker 1: the rest of the way right now has a winning record,
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and they're not one of the divisions,
Speaker 1: so they don't have to worry about Buffalo. So it's
Speaker 1: all right in front of you. Listen. I like CJ. Stroud,
Speaker 1: but he's down to second and third tier receivers. They
Speaker 1: can't protect him. Joe Mixon's a hell of a player.
Speaker 1: That was his number one weapon tonight, But Jets went
Speaker 1: twenty one to thirteen. And you know I was thinking
Speaker 1: about this. I was talking to Jmack on the phone tonight.
Speaker 1: He was out with his kids doing Halloween. So I
Speaker 1: live in a place without a lot of kids coming up.
Speaker 1: So I went out for a walk and saw the
Speaker 1: kids in the neighborhood out having a good time. But
Speaker 1: when I came back, I was talking to Jmac and
Speaker 1: you know, New York has just had a really rough
Speaker 1: stretch for a decade in sports. I mean, the Yankees,
Speaker 1: it really wasn't competitive against the Dodgers. It really wasn't
Speaker 1: They won a single game. Both the Padres and the
Speaker 1: Mets matched up better against the Dodgers than the Yankees did.
Speaker 1: The Yankees won one game, and it was a bullpen
Speaker 1: game by the Dodgers. They went zero two in the
Speaker 1: games in which Garrett Cole pitched. They're just they're just
Speaker 1: you know again, they beat they can beat the Guardians,
Speaker 1: but the Yankees, they just don't match up to the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers were beat up. They'll be a significantly
Speaker 1: better and healthier team next year. The Giants and the Jets,
Speaker 1: at least one of them has Aaron Rodgers and quinnin Williams.
Speaker 1: You know, the Knicks for a nice story, but I
Speaker 1: don't think they're in the class of the Celtics. So
Speaker 1: it's it's been rough. I mean, it's it's you know,
Speaker 1: the Mets have a rich owner and Francisco li Indoor
Speaker 1: is a remarkable player, but they have good players and
Speaker 1: one great player, So I mean they people. You know,
Speaker 1: you think to yourself, God, why does anybody care about
Speaker 1: the Jets if you're in New York. I mean because
Speaker 1: of the Vonte Adams and Garrett Wilson and Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: You know, they have their moments and like in the
Speaker 1: second half tonight, they have their moments where they look competitive.
Speaker 1: So you know, here's the good news for New York Colts, Jags, Texans,
Speaker 1: all these teams that they can make up ground and
Speaker 1: if they beat him head to head in the wild
Speaker 1: card race and the AFC, I don't think they're going
Speaker 1: to get there. I'll still stand by my prediction. I
Speaker 1: think they're an eight or nine win team. But I
Speaker 1: do think DeVante Adams like tonight in that second half,
Speaker 1: and you can see the more he and Aaron play together.
Speaker 1: And what I really liked about Aaron tonight is he
Speaker 1: was really into it. He was really into it. He
Speaker 1: had good energy in the second half. He was pumping
Speaker 1: his fist. He was fired up. And that's what you
Speaker 1: worry about with Aaron. He can be a very moody guy.
Speaker 1: And I've said he I had an NFL coach tell
Speaker 1: him a pretty famous NFL coach once say he's just
Speaker 1: Jay Cuttler with talent, is that he's kind of a moody, prickly,
Speaker 1: difficult guy. The difference Aaron can really when he has
Speaker 1: time to throw, really can spin it. And tonight he
Speaker 1: was in a groove. He had great energy, He played
Speaker 1: inspired and it was fun to watch. The first ALB
Speaker 1: wasn't fun, but twenty one to thirteen Jets win, and
Speaker 1: it's something. Eight sacks ran the ball effectively. Aaron had
Speaker 1: a good night. Now you have extra prep time against
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. I love this time in the NFL
Speaker 1: season because it does feel like the games get a
Speaker 1: little bit easier to predict, just because it's statistically defenses
Speaker 1: get hurt more than offenses, and you know, so you
Speaker 1: get a separation. Now you get some finger pointing in
Speaker 1: the bad locker rooms. The quarterbacks and the best coaches
Speaker 1: feel like they separate. I don't think the Jets have
Speaker 1: one of the better coach teams. But I do think offensively,
Speaker 1: and that's what this lead. Nobody's stopping anybody defensively. I
Speaker 1: still think the Jets miss Robert Saw on that end.
Speaker 1: But offensively, you got to be able to score. And
Speaker 1: you start looking at the Jets pieces. If Aaron's healthy,
Speaker 1: it's something. It's not that it's better than the Giants.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there are a lot of teams in
Speaker 1: worse shape than Aaron Rodgers, Breese Hall, a decent backup,
Speaker 1: Alan the kid from Wisconsin, Garrett Wilson, and Davonte Adams.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of teams in much worse shape
Speaker 1: than that. And and this point forward the offenses winning
Speaker 1: this league. I mean, you go look at January and
Speaker 1: February the last three or four years. It's the offenses
Speaker 1: that separate. Nobody's stopping anybody late. Everybody's all thanked up
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. Listen, don't bail on CJ. Stroud.
Speaker 1: His last three games, he has a seventy six passer rating.
Speaker 1: You're dealing with second tier wide receivers and there's no protection.
Speaker 1: And this is like it's like Sam Donald. You look
Speaker 1: at him with the Jets and you're like he's terrible,
Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh, he goes to Minnesota and
Speaker 1: he has a good coach, and he has good protection,
Speaker 1: and he has weapons and got sam Donald's pretty good.
Speaker 1: It's amazing how it looks. You go watch broad without
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, Deebo, Samuel's banged up, and you're like, ah,
Speaker 1: what is he? Well, you know, all of a sudden
Speaker 1: second half last week, he's moving. You know, you watch
Speaker 1: Brock pretty now as Jennings gets healthy and McCaffrey comes back,
Speaker 1: you're gonna look at him and go, oh, he's pretty Folks.
Speaker 1: There's like one or two guys in this league. Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes are about it where it doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter who's healthy and who's not. That's about it. CJ. Stroud.
Speaker 1: He hasn't reached his peak yet. He'll probably reaches his
Speaker 1: he'll go into his prime after next season. This is
Speaker 1: year two, next year, year three, year four to year
Speaker 1: nine to ten, six years prime, won't have many surgeries
Speaker 1: at that point. Still fresh now knows the game, knows
Speaker 1: the coverages. He hadn't even reached this prime yet. So
Speaker 1: you got like second and third tier receivers, terrible protection,
Speaker 1: and it's a defensive head coach, so you know he's
Speaker 1: got a coordinator. But if that coordinator leaves, that's not ideal.
Speaker 1: Bobby Slowick. So you know, I just there's three guys
Speaker 1: in the world that it doesn't really matter. They're just
Speaker 1: going to be wildly productive. Mahomes al Lamar. For guys
Speaker 1: like c J. Stroud, he's closer to a Sam Donald.
Speaker 1: I think he's a better thrower with the football than
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, and he's a better athlete and a bigger,
Speaker 1: stronger version of rock Perty. But in the end, there's
Speaker 1: the three greats and then a lot of these guys.
Speaker 1: It's just circumstantial, and he'll be fine when they get
Speaker 1: Nico Collins back. Nico Collins is uncoverable and they get
Speaker 1: their offensive line straightened out. But don't sell any stock.
Speaker 1: We've seen this kid when he has support and he's
Speaker 1: really good. Everybody in this league. You know, Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: has Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. He's pretty good, and
Speaker 1: they get hurt. He's not as good. He just lost
Speaker 1: to Atlanta. That's the way it works. For ninety percent

Speaker 1: Former NFL scout. He hosts three and Out podcast Hardest
Speaker 1: working guy in this business and totally tied into the
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers who hold on to beat
Speaker 1: Dallas thirty to twenty four. I didn't. I didn't think
Speaker 1: it would be that close. You know, we'll spend fifteen
Speaker 1: twenty minutes on this Listen their things. San Francisco does well.
Speaker 1: They run the ball. They had, you know, two hundred
Speaker 1: yards rushing. Dallas doesn't run the ball. We knew that
Speaker 1: going into the season. They had just I thought they
Speaker 1: adjusted really well at halftime tonight they were really struggling
Speaker 1: stopping Dallas in the first half. Dallas was getting a
Speaker 1: push and then they kind of exploded in the third quarter.
Speaker 1: I do not trust this Niner pass rusher team Laighton games.
Speaker 1: They've been burned late in games. I thought brought pretty
Speaker 1: really struggled low off target early. I thought later in
Speaker 1: the second half to gain confidence, he used his legs
Speaker 1: a little bit, started moving, kind of gain confidence, hit
Speaker 1: on some nice throws. Kittle had a great night. You know,
Speaker 1: I think there's a difference between Dallas and San Francisco.
Speaker 1: I think San Francisco is a good team that is
Speaker 1: just physically like the Rams in the first month, just
Speaker 1: beat up. They just don't have enough good players. I
Speaker 1: think Dallas is a bad team that actually played pretty
Speaker 1: well tonight. They got to break when the couple of
Speaker 1: Niners banged into each other and Ceedee Lamb got a
Speaker 1: you know, wide open touchdown. And I've been saying this
Speaker 1: for a while. Dallas almost if you're a cowboy fant
Speaker 1: and I You're like, wow, we made it competitive at
Speaker 1: the end. I think they got to take a swing. John.
Speaker 1: I think they have to do something in the offseason.
Speaker 1: I think they have to sell some pieces, get two
Speaker 1: high draft picks. I don't see the way out for Dallas.
Speaker 1: Dak is ordinary. They're paying him a fortune, They're locked
Speaker 1: into him. If Ceedee Lamb twisted his ankle. They don't
Speaker 1: have a guy on this offensive roster that you would
Speaker 1: be forced to roll coverage over. I think it's despite
Speaker 1: the score tonight. I think it's grimmer for Dallas than
Speaker 1: people think, especially with Washington now like looking like the
Speaker 1: next decade they're gonna be locked in with Jade Daniels.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, this is not a game. I guess
Speaker 3: you need to worry about most people box score scouting
Speaker 3: because everyone watches it. But that score, I mean, they
Speaker 3: scored two touchdowns in the last five or six minutes
Speaker 3: of the game. One of the drives was a seventy
Speaker 3: second drive. Yeah, which you know is pretty unheard of
Speaker 3: in the NFL. Obviously the Niners the first touchdown drive
Speaker 3: playing way off you don't hit me tonight is the
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers have beat these guys now four times
Speaker 3: in a row, twice in the playoffs. They molly wopped
Speaker 3: him last year on Sunday Night Football, and they were
Speaker 3: up in this game twenty seven to ten, missing a
Speaker 3: lot of guys. This matchup, which is one of the
Speaker 3: biggest matchups of my life in terms of brands in
Speaker 3: the history is currently Kyle Shanahan, who's you know for
Speaker 3: a young guy who's been coaching in the NFL for
Speaker 3: twenty years and his dad is one of the most
Speaker 3: famous offensive coaches of all time, so he's been around
Speaker 3: football's whole life. And John Lynch, who currently last year
Speaker 3: or two years ago just went into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3: That's the forty nine ers brass building this team against
Speaker 3: an eighty plus year old Jerry Jones. It just it
Speaker 3: was like, this is not really a fair fight because
Speaker 3: it's not like they both hit on some high end
Speaker 3: players Micah cd nick Bosa, Right, I mean they've both
Speaker 3: hit on trade for Trent Williams paying a bunch of money.
Speaker 3: But the forty nine Ers team is littered with guys
Speaker 3: in the fourth, fifth, sixth round. That Isaac Garrendo is
Speaker 3: a fourth round rookie running back and boom, plug and play.
Speaker 3: What's the whole thing?
Speaker 1: Cowboys?
Speaker 3: No running back? They're playing Zeke can't run away from
Speaker 3: me or you who's tough, physical guy but can't move?
Speaker 3: They draft Isaac, well, guess what, I think he went
Speaker 3: a couple picks right after the pick that they traded
Speaker 3: for Trey Lance, who is their third string quarterback. Right,
Speaker 3: and listen, I admire Jerry's clearly from a business standpoint,
Speaker 3: He's been incredible for thirty plus years. I mean, hell,
Speaker 3: they sell practice facility tours to make a little ext income.
Speaker 3: But that he tried to strike oil on that one,
Speaker 3: and sometimes he does that, and you're not gonna strike
Speaker 3: oil Jerry, like you're gonna take Kyle who are you
Speaker 3: bidding against?
Speaker 1: On that one?
Speaker 3: And the other quarterbacks in his draft class who are
Speaker 3: way better went for like six and seventh round picks Fields,
Speaker 3: Mac Jones, Zach Wilson. So that's kind of a microcosm
Speaker 3: of Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch. But you could just go
Speaker 3: less need Sean McVay, Dan Brad Holmes, Dan Campbell, Guda
Speaker 3: Kin's lafor how is Jerry compete the NFC even you
Speaker 3: know the Eagles, Sirianni's under question, but no one questions
Speaker 3: Howie's intelligence. So from a football standpoint in that conference
Speaker 3: doesn't have the high end quarterbacks of the Mahomes, Alan Lamar,
Speaker 3: Burrow Herbert, but it does have very very high level
Speaker 3: front office and football guys, coach and GM combos that
Speaker 3: I would say and have built very very good teams.
Speaker 3: Because you watch the Cowboys, they got injuries. Like you said,
Speaker 3: how many guys are on the sideline for the Niners. Hell,
Speaker 3: halfway through the game, Deebo's got a seventeenth injury of
Speaker 3: the season and he's in the blue ten. Didn't even
Speaker 3: matter to me that score, Like, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 3: I mean it was you're on the edge of your
Speaker 3: seat those last couple of minutes not really indicative what
Speaker 3: we witnessed when the Niners really put a pedal to
Speaker 3: the medal there and when the game mattered.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean what's discouraging is for a long time
Speaker 1: Niners were fifty percent on third down with a lot
Speaker 1: of time to play. They had four hundred and fifty yards.
Speaker 3: They didn't party. Was, like you said, atrocious in the
Speaker 3: first half, Miss Carrolls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, underneath stuff like layups and beat up. I mean,
Speaker 1: they have like seven starters out. It's just it's this
Speaker 1: is almost encouraging for Dallas because they were competitive.
Speaker 3: I off a bye though, you know, with Jerry talking
Speaker 3: a bunch of crap, they were kind of motivating. I
Speaker 3: don't know. I thought they threw the kitchen sink and
Speaker 3: they ran out of juice.
Speaker 1: That's what I think. I mean. Mike McCarthy, actually he's
Speaker 1: not Andy Reid, but he's top five or six coach
Speaker 1: in the league off a bye, so and they had
Speaker 1: a very solid first half and then and then again
Speaker 1: you can only tweak, you know. I mean it's just
Speaker 1: interesting to watch, Like Ricky Pearsall, he got a little run.
Speaker 1: I mean, they're using cowling on punts. They're they're getting
Speaker 1: a lot of different guys involved, you know, and it's
Speaker 1: funny in the NFL you're allowed to whiff. I mean
Speaker 1: John Lynch is whiffed on some guys. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: he's taken swings and missed on guys. That wide receiver
Speaker 1: from fm U, he was a second or third round pick,
Speaker 1: Gray Terrible. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah. I mean less
Speaker 1: Snead and McVeigh missed on Logan Brouss, the second round guard,
Speaker 1: who's just a perennial backup second round guard to two
Speaker 1: at well, you know he'll be gone here soon. So
Speaker 1: I mean, it's okay to miss people miss all the time.
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll had hits, he had misses. I mean, he
Speaker 1: had Rashad Penny in the first round as a running
Speaker 1: back that never panned out really so, but it's just
Speaker 1: I just feel San Francisco also the advantage that San
Speaker 1: Francisco has they're they're better at drafting, but they also
Speaker 1: have a coach that has a certain style, so stylistically,
Speaker 1: there are things you can draft that almost always work
Speaker 1: with Shanahan, like running backs, slot receivers. It's they almost
Speaker 1: always work because you know, it's like they're like with
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. I mean, they've missed on some wide receivers,
Speaker 1: which by the way, is the hardest position to draft
Speaker 1: in the first round in the NFL, because I mean,
Speaker 1: for a lot of reasons. A lot of times you
Speaker 1: get a mature quarterback. He's just not patient. He just
Speaker 1: doesn't want to wait for some kid to figure out
Speaker 1: the routes. They don't trust him. That was Brady in
Speaker 1: New England.
Speaker 3: He just did historic Historically, it was one of the
Speaker 3: bigger busting positions to the last six or seven years
Speaker 3: when the college football changed.
Speaker 1: Washington beats the Bears eighteen to fifteen on a Hail Mary.
Speaker 1: Let me just start with this. Washington was the better team.
Speaker 1: They were the better coached team. I thought Chicago's offensive
Speaker 1: coaching at the end of the game was egregiously horrible
Speaker 1: late in the game, and I give let me just
Speaker 1: say Caleb and his movement and his side arming stuff.
Speaker 1: You can see the Mahomes comps. He's running around the
Speaker 1: old lines getting overwhelmed. I mean, first of all, it
Speaker 1: was nine to nothing at half. Chicago had thirty three
Speaker 1: yards passing in the first half. I thought the game
Speaker 1: was over. But Chicago, you know, their defense, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of kept him in the game. And then Washington's
Speaker 1: offense stalled. But I got us John the third and
Speaker 1: goal where the Bears did the fridge perry. The following
Speaker 1: drive on a third down to win the game, they
Speaker 1: did a draw, essentially putting in the hands. The whole
Speaker 1: game came down one play, Thank god, Keenan Allen. It
Speaker 1: was past interference. I didn't get that. I mean, they
Speaker 1: made no attempt. It felt like the third down was
Speaker 1: just setting up fourth down and they had to have
Speaker 1: a touchdown to take a lead. So I just couldn't
Speaker 1: stand Chicago's offensive coaching. And I know it to Hail Mary,
Speaker 1: but my take was Washington was a better team.
Speaker 3: Could not agree more. There was a stat that popped up,
Speaker 3: I think in the second half that said he was
Speaker 3: four of thirteen for thirty six yards. That being Caleb.
Speaker 3: I thought on this drive can't be the game, and
Speaker 3: I had a double check it was the game. Their
Speaker 3: offense was horrendous, their defense was outstanding. I wrote down,
Speaker 3: I mean even when it was nine to nothing, it
Speaker 3: felt I mean twenty eight to nothing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, complete control.
Speaker 3: Jaden didn't just look like the best player in the game,
Speaker 3: he looked like one of the best players in the league.
Speaker 3: The thing I wrote down is if you could picked
Speaker 3: these two coaching staffs, Ibra flus Waldron and dan Quinn
Speaker 3: Cliff Kingsbury, the gap is like going from a star
Speaker 3: starting quarterback to some random backup. You're like, it's not
Speaker 3: even close. That's why when they take the lead, I'm like, listen,
Speaker 3: it's sports. Crazy things happen. But there haven't been many
Speaker 3: games this season where a team would have came away
Speaker 3: with a victory that was like, oh you didn't. You
Speaker 3: didn't even come close to call the play to a
Speaker 3: backup offensive lineman. On like I was one years old
Speaker 3: with the refrigerator Perry plays, but he did it a
Speaker 3: lot right. It was part of their arsenal. They weren't
Speaker 3: a good obviously Walter Payton, but they weren't some dynamic
Speaker 3: offense you got, you drafted the receiver nine. You got
Speaker 3: Keenan Allen, you got DJ Moore. Your running backs are
Speaker 3: the reason you're in the game. Yes, I mean if
Speaker 3: it wasn't for Swifts whatever, huge run, oh hugely, it
Speaker 3: wouldn't even have been close. It was like that gave
Speaker 3: them life because they had none none, They had none
Speaker 3: to give them that play, even they ended up taking
Speaker 3: the lead with twenty seconds left. That's I think that
Speaker 3: has to go down as the most egregious play call
Speaker 3: of the season. Second would probably be that remember that
Speaker 3: fake play the Bills ran, I think against the Ravens
Speaker 3: when they were storing that. But that was way worse
Speaker 3: to get backup offensive lineman. I mean, it's not even
Speaker 3: you can't even blame him. Belichick would say, it's not
Speaker 3: on the player, it's on the coach. Yeah, you can't
Speaker 3: call you can't put that guy in that position.
Speaker 1: So here's a prime example of coaching. One team has
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, elite pass rusher. One team has
Speaker 1: bon Nicks, Courtland Sutton and no elite pass rushers. Now
Speaker 1: Patrick's certain Patrick Sartan I wrote this down today. He
Speaker 1: may be a top ten defensive player in the league.
Speaker 1: He is just absolutely phenomenal good. This is what coaching
Speaker 1: does with Sean Payton bone Nicks today who in his
Speaker 1: last game. I text Sean, I said, man, his mechanics
Speaker 1: are off. Sewan's like, hey, the kid's great. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get a cleaned up three touchdowns, no picks, two hundred
Speaker 1: eighty yards, nine different white receiver's tight end targets, only
Speaker 1: one penalty. When I was watching the game. There may
Speaker 1: have been more, but when I wrote it down, only
Speaker 1: one penalty. They were tremendous on third down. Nor Carolina,
Speaker 1: I get it. Denver was picked to went five games
Speaker 1: by Vegas. They're at five and three halfway through the season.
Speaker 1: They are coaching the you know what out of this team, John,
Speaker 1: This is the same defensive personnel. Remember, because of Russell Wilson,
Speaker 1: they didn't have any draft picks. They got the LS
Speaker 1: kid out of Utah. I think third round. They got
Speaker 1: Franklin the wide receiver who dropped the ball right through
Speaker 1: his hands today a deep ball. And I don't even
Speaker 1: think bon Nix would be this good, and he struggled
Speaker 1: in the first month, but I watched him today. Backfoot
Speaker 1: confidence this If you think we're being hard On Zach Taylor.
Speaker 1: Denver is squeezing every ounce of juice. You tell me
Speaker 1: how they're generating this pass rush. You tell me how
Speaker 1: bo Nix is thrown for three hundred yards behind kind
Speaker 1: of an okay offensive line. I watched Denver and I
Speaker 1: think that is coaching. That is That's what I see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I totally agree. I mean I don't
Speaker 3: think Denver's roster is very good. I also think I
Speaker 3: think vance Joseph last year when they scored what Miami
Speaker 3: scored seventy on him, Yeah, and Sean Payton stuck with him,
Speaker 3: and by the end of the season they were playing
Speaker 3: good defense. Their defense, Like you said, beside the corner,
Speaker 3: you have to google some of the guys on the team. Yeah,
Speaker 3: this is not Neil Smith and Bill Romanowski that you're like, oh,
Speaker 3: these I don't even know who these guys are, and
Speaker 3: now we're gonna find out a lot more about him.
Speaker 3: On Thursday night playing that New Orleans team a week ago,
Speaker 3: I mean, that was kind of a joke squad. And
Speaker 3: I didn't even think bo Nickx was that good in
Speaker 3: that game. The Ravens and the Chiefs coming up, but hell,
Speaker 3: they don't have to win those games. If you get
Speaker 3: to nine to eight with this roster and a rookie quarterback,
Speaker 3: what a great building spot. Now, this is the thing
Speaker 3: with hiring good coaches, Like look at Lafloor. He's six
Speaker 3: and two of his starting quarterback in and out of
Speaker 3: the lineup, completely unfaced. You're gonna look up, I don't
Speaker 3: know how many games Jordan Love who knows how long
Speaker 3: he's out. They're gonna be an eleven twelve win team
Speaker 3: no matter what. The power of that position in this
Speaker 3: sport flies by everything else. Is it Aaron Boone's fault
Speaker 3: that Aaron Judge has no clue what's coming out of
Speaker 3: the pitcher's hands. There's nothing he can do where in
Speaker 3: coaching you watch in college last night, Texas A and
Speaker 3: M has been one of the biggest jokes in college
Speaker 3: football the last couple of years, and you watch him
Speaker 3: now you're like, holy hell, this looks like Alabama or something.
Speaker 3: It's because it's not even just about the play calling.
Speaker 3: It's about the messaging. It's about the structure, it's about
Speaker 3: the discipline. It's about basic things like you know, how
Speaker 3: you practice the first ten minutes of warm ups? What
Speaker 3: is okay, and what is not okay? If you come
Speaker 3: out with the wrong stuff, do I make you go
Speaker 3: back in and change or do I let it slide?
Speaker 3: And I think you just see the separating. You see,
Speaker 3: the Jets are a good example. They got no clue
Speaker 3: what they're doing. It's one of the worst coaching staffs
Speaker 3: in the league, is the staff. And then you look.
Speaker 3: I think Denver and the Chargers are very very good examples.
Speaker 3: Have no business. You could say the Chargers a little
Speaker 3: bit because they do have a good quarterback, you know,
Speaker 3: an experienced quarterback to win ten games with their roster.
Speaker 3: If I give half the coaches in the NFL, those teams,
Speaker 3: they don't sniff ten wins, right, But I give Jim
Speaker 3: Harbaugh and Sean Payton, and what do they make a
Speaker 3: combined thirty five million dollars? They make it for a
Speaker 3: reason because you're gonna feel pretty good about them winning
Speaker 3: double digit games every year going forward. And the other
Speaker 3: thing that we don't talk a lot about with coaches,
Speaker 3: who do you hire your staff? It's one of the
Speaker 3: Harbaugh families great attributes. I would say Sean Payton, for
Speaker 3: the most part, has always had good coaching staffs.
Speaker 1: Yes, Dan Campbell was assistant.
Speaker 3: Dennis Hound's not a good head coach, but he's an
Speaker 3: excellent defensive coordinator, so he had a staff. And now, listen,
Speaker 3: I was skeptical of Vance Joseph. You gotta give them
Speaker 3: a lot of credit. Like their defense is flying around.
Speaker 3: So that's your job is more than just calling plays
Speaker 3: or the draft like it encompasses a lot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're the other thing. This is one of
Speaker 1: the things Sean mcvaye does so well. You are you're
Speaker 1: often asking yourself, how did Cooper cup and Kuka Nakua
Speaker 1: get so open? Well that scheme. I mean, it's like
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl and Andy Reid has sky More
Speaker 1: in the red zone wide open. You're like, there's only
Speaker 1: so much space. How is sky More not covered at
Speaker 1: the twelve? I'm watching Denver and there were multiple times
Speaker 1: today You're like, now again, it's Carolina. But I'm seeing
Speaker 1: this time and time again when they beat the Jets,
Speaker 1: we thought it was a fluke. No, Denver is better
Speaker 1: with Bonnicks. They're a better football team than the Jets
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers, and the Jets have significantly better players overall. Nope,
Speaker 1: not even close. And so I'm just watching Denver today
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is like and I text Peyton
Speaker 1: a couple of times, like this is what a well
Speaker 1: coached team looks like. They should have beaten Carolina badly.
Speaker 1: They did. They should have beaten New Orleans badly. They did,
Speaker 1: But they're also winning this. That Jets game you look
Speaker 1: at and you think, God, it was terrible. Weather had
Speaker 1: no There's no reason in the world bo Nicks goes
Speaker 1: and plays cross country if I recall their travel was bad,
Speaker 1: and beats Aaron Rodgers in a like a semi tropical storm.
Speaker 1: Peyton won't get Coach of the Year, but he should
Speaker 1: be honorable mention because I think what he's doing with
Speaker 1: this roster is incredible. Time for an end edition of
Speaker 1: Sharper Square with Chad Millman, the co host of the Favorites.
Speaker 1: All odds provided by Draft Kings. I felt pretty good
Speaker 1: about my picks, I said in week six or seven,
Speaker 1: I start to just go with quarterbacks. I think defenses
Speaker 1: get statistically more beat up, more injured. Quarterbacks are even
Speaker 1: more important. Teams and locker rooms move off players more
Speaker 1: finger pointing. The better cultures win, the better coaches win,
Speaker 1: the better quarterbacks win. So there's a couple of big favorites.
Speaker 1: I like this weekend, and I don't normally do that.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the underdogs though, Dolphins plus six at
Speaker 1: the Bills. I like Miami. Okay, so this has been
Speaker 1: a series dominated by Buffalo, no question, but they've played
Speaker 1: very good. They're really feeling themselves. They travel cross country.
Speaker 1: Now it's back Miami. Two is the first game back
Speaker 1: off of concussion. They actually controlled that game, led by
Speaker 1: ten and the fourth Usually quarterbacks off concussions don't play
Speaker 1: great in the first week, second week, third week, fourth week.
Speaker 1: You see improvement division rival game. Really like Miami plus
Speaker 1: the point sharper square.
Speaker 4: Look, it's flipped. It opened at six, moved up to
Speaker 4: six and a half. The wise guys liked Buffalo at
Speaker 4: six and a half, and there's been a lot of
Speaker 4: wise guy money moving this back down to six. It
Speaker 4: might even get down to five and a half before kickoff.
Speaker 4: So wise guys are on your side here. They like Miami.
Speaker 4: They like two where they want to fade the Bills
Speaker 4: because they've been playing so well. I will tell you,
Speaker 4: I'll give you the other side of that argument, because
Speaker 4: I've bet Buffalo at minus six, I will be against
Speaker 4: the wise guys. I might be against you two. I
Speaker 4: want to give everybody the opportunity to hear both sides.
Speaker 4: Tua is terrible against teams that are good that are
Speaker 4: on the road, okay, two and ten straight up, three
Speaker 4: eight to one against the spread, away from home versus
Speaker 4: winning teams in his NFL career with the Dolphins. Also,
Speaker 4: the Bills offense has been top three in the league
Speaker 4: across the majority of metrics, superficial, advanced metrics, whatever you
Speaker 4: want to do. When it comes to rushing the ball,
Speaker 4: the Dolphins are a terrible tackling team. So from a
Speaker 4: matchup perspective and a history perspective, I think the Bills
Speaker 4: have an advantage. But the wise guys, they like what
Speaker 4: they saw. They feel like Tua the second game back
Speaker 4: after the concussion, he's going to be better. They feel
Speaker 4: like this Buffalo team it's a little bit too high
Speaker 4: because of how well the Bills had been playing. So
Speaker 4: why guys are with you, Colin? But I'm not okay?
Speaker 1: So I like Arizona minus one and a half at home.
Speaker 1: First of all, Matt Eberflus is the worst road coach
Speaker 1: in the league terrible. Secondly, Arizona is better. Their personnel
Speaker 1: offensively is the best kept secret in the league. I
Speaker 1: love Connor the back, McBride, the tight end. Harrison now
Speaker 1: is getting more consistent. He's a dog. Kyler Murray in
Speaker 1: the second half was outstanding. And I never trust this
Speaker 1: team's consistency and maturity. But I like the staff. I
Speaker 1: like their fight Chicago. If you start looking at Chicago,
Speaker 1: they unraveled last week. They really did. They were lucky
Speaker 1: to be in a position to lose by Hail Mary.
Speaker 1: Arizona's a good home team. Eber Flu's awful on the road.
Speaker 1: Arizona minus one and a half. Sharper square.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's sharp ish, Like if the wise guys are
Speaker 4: playing anything here, they're playing Arizona, but it's not primary
Speaker 4: in the games they're betting. A lot of wise guys
Speaker 4: I talked to, they kind of want to pass on
Speaker 4: this game. In a perfect world, in a vacuum, they
Speaker 4: bet on the Bears. The Bears are more talented offensively.
Speaker 4: They're a really good defensive team, and they're really good
Speaker 4: at rushing the passer, and they're really good in coverage. Now,
Speaker 4: the challenge for the Bears Is Montes Sweat didn't practice
Speaker 4: on Wednesday. Has an injured shin. We don't know what
Speaker 4: his status will be. They're ten and five with Montes
Speaker 4: Sweat since he joined the team. Okay, Number one, that's
Speaker 4: really good for pass rush. Number two Braxton Jones, they're
Speaker 4: left tackle. He probably isn't going to play. Did not
Speaker 4: practice this week. They were terrible when he left the
Speaker 4: game last week. Caleb was running for his life and
Speaker 4: then they got worse when Braxton Jones backup came in.
Speaker 4: And Braxton Jones backup is not going to be playing
Speaker 4: this week. So they're scraping the bottom of the barrel there.
Speaker 4: But here's what's interesting about Kyler. Kyler is great in
Speaker 4: the chaos and what the Bears would create and what
Speaker 4: their strength is is creating chaos for quarterbacks because they
Speaker 4: are so good at rushing the pasture and so good
Speaker 4: in coverage. So kyler strengths actually plays to the Bear strength,
Speaker 4: which is another reason why the wise guys aren't quite
Speaker 4: looking to rush to bet this game. And like you,
Speaker 4: eberflus Man, and I can't imagine you don't have a
Speaker 4: theory on this, but as a Bears fan, why draft
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams and then keep a coach who's a defensive
Speaker 4: coach who if he doesn't do well this year, you
Speaker 4: know you're going to get rid of. Then you're going
Speaker 4: to bring in a new coach, and you've basically wasted
Speaker 4: a year and created bad habits for Caleb Williams. Right,
Speaker 4: So now all of a sudden, Eberflus is basically throwing
Speaker 4: his team under the bus, saying, we practiced this play
Speaker 4: the Hail Mary every single week. I don't know why
Speaker 4: the guys didn't do it right. That hasn't sat well,
Speaker 4: So people don't know what they're going to get with
Speaker 4: the Bears this week.
Speaker 1: Okay, you know I love the magic number four, four
Speaker 1: and a half and five. I take the favorites. Washington
Speaker 1: thoroughly outplayed Chicago, and Chicago's a pretty decent team. The Giants, now,
Speaker 1: as we talked about No Andrew Thomas, Daniel Jones visibly
Speaker 1: frustrated during the week two point conversion against the Steelers.
Speaker 1: They're off him. Everybody in the building knows that it
Speaker 1: just feels like a horrible environment. The owner has supported
Speaker 1: the GM and the coach and not the quarterback. I
Speaker 1: think Washington's a really good team. I think they're for real.
Speaker 1: I think now Jaden Daniels is healthier. I didn't feel
Speaker 1: he was at one hundred percent last weekend. I would
Speaker 1: take Washington minus four. I know it's a division rivalry game.
Speaker 1: Sharper Square.
Speaker 4: No, the wise guys are with you. They're they're betting
Speaker 4: on Washington and it's a normally they wouldn't right a
Speaker 4: division game. Right you're getting a home dog at more
Speaker 4: than a field goal, you want to bet the home dog.
Speaker 4: And we've got other games in which that is a
Speaker 4: scenario this week, but right now, like three and a
Speaker 4: half for a team that has lost its left tackle.
Speaker 4: He was the only reason that you ever felt comfortable
Speaker 4: betting on this team because he was so good at
Speaker 4: stabilizing that line. And now Tyrone Tracy, who has really
Speaker 4: been an offensive weapon out of the backfield for them,
Speaker 4: the running back out of Purdue, he had a concussion.
Speaker 4: Not likely to play. You're right about Daniel Jones. I
Speaker 4: think it's only a matter of time before they give
Speaker 4: him the hook because they owe him, you know, twenty
Speaker 4: three million dollars if he gets injured next season. So
Speaker 4: I think pretty soon this experiment with Danny Dimes is
Speaker 4: going to end.
Speaker 1: Okay. I think the Rams are really a good football
Speaker 1: team when healthy. In fact, if you go back to
Speaker 1: last year when Stafford, Kyron Williams, Pooka, and Cooper Cup
Speaker 1: play their seven and three in their losses at Detroit
Speaker 1: and overtime at Baltimore in overtime, offensive coach and Matt
Speaker 1: Stafford played on Thursday extra time to prepare. They only
Speaker 1: have to give up one at Seattle. This is a
Speaker 1: coach and a quarterback mismatch. They are now healthier and
Speaker 1: like the Packers offensively, the Rams defensively are crazy young
Speaker 1: young teams grow. They become better and better every few weeks.
Speaker 1: The Packers offense just getting better every two games. This
Speaker 1: Rams defense is high draft picks, hungry, no stars, fast, young,
Speaker 1: and collectively very good. I think the Rams put away
Speaker 1: the Seahawks or Sharper Square.
Speaker 4: Colin, You and I right now are going into the
Speaker 4: Foxholt on the Los Angeles Rams. The wise guys hate
Speaker 4: this bet. The Rams opened it as one and a
Speaker 4: half point underdogs. They are now almost two and a
Speaker 4: half point favorites. The wise guys they love Seattle at
Speaker 4: two and a half. I'm with you and Simon Hunter
Speaker 4: and my co host, he's with you, like we feel
Speaker 4: like we are alone in the foxhol betting this game,
Speaker 4: and we don't see what other people are seeing in Seattle.
Speaker 4: You've said this before, Sean McVay. For all the bells
Speaker 4: and whistles, all the motion on this team, he likes
Speaker 4: to run the ball. And Kyen Williams has been a
Speaker 4: top five running back in the NFL the past season
Speaker 4: in the half and he has been amazing since this
Speaker 4: season began, especially against team like Seattle, which are bottom
Speaker 4: third in all the rushing stats that matter. They're total
Speaker 4: rushing yards, yards per carry EPA per rush like, they
Speaker 4: are not a very good rush defense. They're still a
Speaker 4: team that's developing its talent. Hookah's back. He's a great
Speaker 4: run blocker. You saw that last week. He's just so
Speaker 4: freaking big. Cooper cup back Stafford is great in these situations.
Speaker 4: He's a quarterback. At the end of the day, Like
Speaker 4: you've said, there are quarterbacks that you just don't want
Speaker 4: to bet against. And sometimes I make my decisions about
Speaker 4: who I want to bet on based on how uncomfortable
Speaker 4: am I going to be If I am betting the
Speaker 4: other side, and this quarterback has the ball in the
Speaker 4: last two minutes. Matthew Stafford's top five on that list.
Speaker 4: So you and I brother, if it's in the blazon,
Speaker 4: you're going to be in a foxhill. I'm going to
Speaker 4: be in the foxhole. Will be in it together.
Speaker 1: There's a couple of games that are fascinating to me.
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't know if it's a stay
Speaker 1: away game. I think I would take the Vikings at
Speaker 1: home minus five against the Colts because they're making a
Speaker 1: quarterback change. Also, I think the Vikings, I think the
Speaker 1: Rams on the road and the Lions, those offenses and
Speaker 1: those coaching staffs can make teams look very bad. And
Speaker 1: I think Minnesota's defense, if you go back three weeks,
Speaker 1: we thought it was pretty good. I think they need
Speaker 1: to redeem themselves before they get into division play. I
Speaker 1: think this is a good spot for them. I think
Speaker 1: they have a quarterback advantage. I think both coaches are
Speaker 1: really good, but in this spot with a quarterback change,
Speaker 1: I think Minnesota has to get right. There's real urgency
Speaker 1: here before they get to the Green Bays, the Detroit's,
Speaker 1: the Chicago's in their schedule. I would take the Vikings
Speaker 1: minus five Sharper square.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the wise guys have been betting the Colts. They
Speaker 4: bet them at six, they bet them at five and
Speaker 4: a half. If it's down to five, it means they
Speaker 4: bet them again. The Coult situation is incredibly confusing. Shane
Speaker 4: Stike and kind of intimated that this was coming from ownership, right,
Speaker 4: Like you look at Anthony Richardson, Completion percentage is not
Speaker 4: a very good way to judge developing quarterback. And there's
Speaker 4: been a lot of great analysis this week about if
Speaker 4: you analyze each one of his throws, he's making the
Speaker 4: choices that are the lower percentage throw but the higher
Speaker 4: ROI if they're completed versus eight yard outs that won't
Speaker 4: get you the first down, or twenty yard outs that
Speaker 4: will get you the first down, And so there's decisions
Speaker 4: being made there. And Shane Stiken, I'm a huge fan
Speaker 4: as a coach. The wise guys are on this game
Speaker 4: because when it became Flacco, they sort of felt a
Speaker 4: little bit more comfortable that he can manage the Brian
Speaker 4: Flores defense and anything this guy throws at him. And
Speaker 4: don't forget the Colts have an elite rushing game. And
Speaker 4: we talked about this last week. It's why I like
Speaker 4: the Colts against the Texans last week. If you have
Speaker 4: a really good coach who's a good play caller, and
Speaker 4: you have an elite unit, and you're a decent sized underdog,
Speaker 4: I'm going to make that play. And that game played
Speaker 4: out exactly as we expected it to play out with
Speaker 4: the Colts. They dominated on the ground right and they
Speaker 4: had so that Jonathan Taylor had more than one hundred
Speaker 4: yards rushing in his first game back. They ran six
Speaker 4: point two yards per carry. Like they will rely on
Speaker 4: the running game. They'll find ways to potentially keep this
Speaker 4: game close. So feels a little bit trappy to beout
Speaker 4: the Vikings. It's not going to be a game that
Speaker 4: I'm invested in it all.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's a game that I would never bet. You know,
Speaker 1: I take the big number off the board. People try
Speaker 1: to talk to me in the Lions Titans should have
Speaker 1: won't do it. Ravens at home minus nine and a half. Now,
Speaker 1: Lamar has taken a couple practices off the Ravens by
Speaker 1: adding another receiver. Are telling you, listen, we don't have
Speaker 1: Kansas City's defense or Buffalo's. We're going to win by scoring.
Speaker 1: They want to ramp up this offense. Their weakness is
Speaker 1: the back end, over the top. You can beat them
Speaker 1: and Mahomes and Josh Allen might, Herbert might. Bo Nicks isn't.
Speaker 1: That's not how they're built. He's not a big deep
Speaker 1: ball thrower. He's more agile, mobile underneath. Ravens weakness is
Speaker 1: not going to be exploited by Denver. This is a
Speaker 1: tough spot. Ravens off a loss again. Baltimore on most
Speaker 1: Sundays the last two years has been the knockout artist
Speaker 1: in this league, blasting teams at home, not beating them,
Speaker 1: blasting Niners Miami like Detroit. This is a number, all
Speaker 1: swallow Ravens nine and a half. I know I am
Speaker 1: as square as a lego.
Speaker 4: Right, Not this week, brother, not this week. Like last week.
Speaker 4: I tried to get you on the Lions. I love
Speaker 4: the Lions, and like that was a no brainer from
Speaker 4: the get go. It didn't matter what the number was
Speaker 4: going to be. We were betting the Lions the Ravens.
Speaker 4: The wise guys are coming in on the Ravens, and
Speaker 4: it's a little bit tricky because Denver's defense is feers right,
Speaker 4: get great pass rush, great pass rush, great against the run,
Speaker 4: like their front four is phenomenal. But you can also
Speaker 4: look at it and say they've played not very good teams.
Speaker 4: They've had a relatively easy schedule, weaker quarterbacks, weaker quarterbacks. Right,
Speaker 4: you can look at you can look at the Ravens
Speaker 4: and say, okay, they should be dominating, but they laid
Speaker 4: every they let every team back into it. And look
Speaker 4: at what Jamis did last week. Look at what Jaden Daniels.
Speaker 4: The Ravens were up by ten, they spread with seven
Speaker 4: and a half. The Commanders lost that game by seven
Speaker 4: because the Ravens let Jaden Daniels get back into it.
Speaker 4: We've seen it week after week after week. The Ravens
Speaker 4: give up seventeen point three points per game in the
Speaker 4: second half this year. That is the worst in the NFL.
Speaker 4: Only the Titans are at thirty one. It's like those
Speaker 4: two and last week they were tied, and so the
Speaker 4: Ravens number got worse this week, and the Titans number,
Speaker 4: after giving fifty two points got better. That's how bad
Speaker 4: the Ravens back end has been. If you watched that
Speaker 4: game last week. Ross Talker, who's a great broadcaster and
Speaker 4: really good podcaster. He talked about like you look on
Speaker 4: film and every single week this Ravens defense the back end,
Speaker 4: they look confused and they're communicating and trying to get
Speaker 4: it right while the play is being called and while
Speaker 4: the ball is being snapped. So it's a huge gamble
Speaker 4: literally to take the Ravens at this big and number.
Speaker 4: You gotta believe that Bonnicks won't be able to go
Speaker 4: over the top in the same way. And you know
Speaker 4: Sean Payton is going to have him sling it like
Speaker 4: he's he's playing him like he's a fourth year pro.
Speaker 4: So it's risky, but the wise guys are on it.
Speaker 4: If you want to be on it, I can't walk
Speaker 4: you off.
Speaker 1: It, Okay. So the game that's most interesting to me
Speaker 1: every game. Every week I pick a game and I
Speaker 1: want you to convince me. So my natural feeling is
Speaker 1: even off of bye, Dallas just doesn't deliver much to
Speaker 1: the field off a by against the San Francisco defense
Speaker 1: without Dray green Law not really playing particularly well, some
Speaker 1: top starters out they couldn't generate much offense and they
Speaker 1: were dominated once you went off script in the third
Speaker 1: quarter and adjusted by the Niners. So I just don't
Speaker 1: like Dallas. Every part of my being loves Atlanta minus
Speaker 1: two and a half three, every part. But Atlanta is
Speaker 1: off a very very competitive divisional game, highly emotional game,
Speaker 1: and I can see that coming back down the earth.
Speaker 1: I can see Dallas. Remember, Atlanta offers no pressure. Guys
Speaker 1: like Dak and Gino Smith with time to throw are
Speaker 1: usually really effective. So my gut feeling is Atlanta's the side.
Speaker 1: I picked Atlanta to be the number one seed in
Speaker 1: the NFC with twelve to thirteen wins. I love them,
Speaker 1: but something tells me Dallas is the side here.
Speaker 4: Dallas is where the wise guys are. And this number
Speaker 4: gets to three, it gets bet down to two and
Speaker 4: a half, it gets beat back up to three, goes
Speaker 4: down to two and a half. The wise guys definitely
Speaker 4: like the Cowboys here. It's a little strange, you know.
Speaker 4: The Falcons. Kirk Cousins is basically run up his numbers
Speaker 4: thrown against the Buccaneers and the Panthers. Yeah, that's how
Speaker 4: he's made had such a good year, and like he's played,
Speaker 4: honest to guy, He's throwing like eight touchdowns and thrown
Speaker 4: for eight hundred yards against the Buccaneers, and so you
Speaker 4: look at those numbers, you're like, oh my god, he's
Speaker 4: maybe he finally Kyle Pitts look like what everyone has
Speaker 4: been drooling about from a fantasy point of view for
Speaker 4: the past three or four years. But against regular teams,
Speaker 4: they're generally mediocre, and so the question becomes, especially against
Speaker 4: teams that can cover and they can rush the passer.
Speaker 4: So the question you have to ask yourself is is
Speaker 4: Micah Parsons gonna play? Because without Micah Parsons, the Cowboys
Speaker 4: can't rush the passer. That is, you know, part of
Speaker 4: the phrase and Achilles heel for Kirk Cousins. He's not
Speaker 4: very good against coverage right now. Is Deron Bland going
Speaker 4: to play? He practiced this week the Cowboys cornerback. If so,
Speaker 4: the Cowboys are much much better in coverage. Dak Prescott
Speaker 4: is basically a mal Santa at this point. Like he
Speaker 4: does not move inside the pocket, right he just sits
Speaker 4: for four hours. The guy's just sitting there giving away
Speaker 4: gift to Cede Lamb. If he is able to do
Speaker 4: that against a team like the Falcons that can't get
Speaker 4: any pressure, then yeah, he's gonna slice him up. Have
Speaker 4: no running game. They can't stop their run. It is
Speaker 4: so ugly, it will be so uncomfortable. Everything about these
Speaker 4: teams says fraud. So you're really just deciding I'm betting
Speaker 4: on the underdog as a fraud.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's always a game or two I missed. I
Speaker 1: have a feeling Chargers Browns could be one of them.
Speaker 1: I would be prone to bet against Cleveland after a win.
Speaker 1: That would be my gut feeling. Is that one of
Speaker 1: the games I missed?
Speaker 4: Well, certainly, it's a game that a lot of wise
Speaker 4: guys are talking about and they have been betting on Cleveland.
Speaker 4: This number has moved down. I think it was a
Speaker 4: two and a half and no, down to two, now
Speaker 4: down to one and a half. I'm with you, man,
Speaker 4: I don't get it. And this is what makes betting
Speaker 4: so interesting, right because you have to decide when are
Speaker 4: you selling. It's like the market. Are you selling? Are
Speaker 4: you going to hold on for one week too long?
Speaker 4: Are you going to lose ten to twenty percent of
Speaker 4: your value? Or are you getting out at the peak.
Speaker 4: Let's break down the Ravens and the Chargers as competition
Speaker 4: for Jamis. Let's break down Jamis as he played the
Speaker 4: Ravens last week. He was great, sliced him up. Also
Speaker 4: had a fumble at the end of the first half
Speaker 4: that put the Ravens in position to score the goal
Speaker 4: ahead touchdown. Instead of being down six three, they're up
Speaker 4: ten to six. The play before he threw that dime
Speaker 4: to Cedric Tilman to win the game for the Ravens,
Speaker 4: he threw a gimme interception to Kyle Hamilton. The Kyle
Speaker 4: Hamilton dropped and there were three of those in that game, right,
Speaker 4: So now you go look at the Chargers. The Chargers
Speaker 4: have an elite run defense, they have a great playmaker
Speaker 4: and Justin Herbert, who doesn't turn the ball over, you
Speaker 4: know they are going to run the ball. Is Jamis
Speaker 4: Winston going to get away with the same mistakes. That
Speaker 4: is my concern in betting on the Browns. The wise
Speaker 4: guys are betting that Jamis will continue to find a
Speaker 4: way to be Jamis, and that because this offensive line
Speaker 4: is getting healthier, because this defense is getting healthier, because
Speaker 4: the game is in Cleveland, there's an upswing, there's still momentum.
Speaker 4: I'm not buying it. So if you want to pass
Speaker 4: on it, I get it. If you want to take
Speaker 4: the Chargers. I get it. The Charger's number is getting lower.
Speaker 4: It's a little trappy to take sort of the road
Speaker 4: dog and the road favorite in this spot. So it's
Speaker 4: not a huge play for me, but I will bet
Speaker 4: the Chargers.
Speaker 1: Anything else I missed?
Speaker 4: Yeah, how did we not talk about the Lions and
Speaker 4: the Packers?
Speaker 1: Well, because I don't know if Jordan Love's going.
Speaker 4: To play, doesn't matter. Don't care. As Jay Cutler says
Speaker 4: in the Urinal in Chicago, when someone tells them they
Speaker 4: went to Vanderbilt, don't care. I don't care. I'm betting
Speaker 4: the Packers at plus three and a half. And by
Speaker 4: the way, if Jordan Love isn't playing and it's Malik Willison,
Speaker 4: the number goes up to four four and a half.
Speaker 4: I'm still playing the Packers. Matt Lafleur is an elite,
Speaker 4: elite schemer. He has been amazing this season, att with
Speaker 4: fluor seventy percent against the spread when he is an underdog,
Speaker 4: and by the way, when he's an underdog of three
Speaker 4: or more points eighteen and four. You got Jared Goff
Speaker 4: who has a bocky ankle. You've got Jared Goff playing outdoors.
Speaker 4: You've got the Lions at peak value. Right now, You've
Speaker 4: got the Lions going against a Packers offensive line that
Speaker 4: is a fantastic past blocking unit. And this will be
Speaker 4: the first time we really see the impact of not
Speaker 4: having Aiden Hutchinson to rush the passer. And by the way,
Speaker 4: lake willis what has he done badly to not give
Speaker 4: us confidence? He Matt with floor understands what he is
Speaker 4: getting into with that quarterback. This is a smash the
Speaker 4: smash spot for the Packers. I love the Packers here.
Speaker 1: Well, that's why you're a professional gambler and I'm a radioshmuck.
Speaker 4: By the way, By the way, nobody knows nothing until
Speaker 4: the game is over.
Speaker 1: But I am definitely my toughest loss of the year
Speaker 1: I took. You know, I love the number four. I
Speaker 1: took green Bay against Jacksonville and they kneel before rushing in.
Speaker 4: That was rough, right, that was rough. I think I
Speaker 4: told you to take Jacksonville at three and a half.
Speaker 1: I know, but I honestly green Bay led. I feel
Speaker 1: I felt like I was in the wrong. I felt
Speaker 1: like I was on the right side. But the way
Speaker 1: I lost, I remember last year I lost a dooint
Speaker 1: on the Saints. They like hit the crossbar maybe twice
Speaker 1: in that game. I felt like about once a year.
Speaker 1: I laugh. I don't get angry. I feel like, you
Speaker 1: got to be kidding me. They led by I think ten.
Speaker 1: At one point in the second half, they're going in
Speaker 1: running for the touchdown and the guy doesn't dive at
Speaker 1: the two, and I thought, well, okay, the experts, that's right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's how it works out. By the way,
Speaker 4: that Jacksonville game was a joke. I was joking on
Speaker 4: the podcast this week. I hated the Jacksonville bet. I
Speaker 4: didn't want to make. I thought it was a bad idea.
Speaker 4: I hate that team. I'm not impressed with them. Everything
Speaker 4: that we needed to go right in that game went right.
Speaker 4: It was a lucky, lucky win. But then you got
Speaker 4: to look at the Colts against the Texans and either
Speaker 4: I got lucky, we got we got either we got
Speaker 4: really lucky with the Colts because the Texans were going
Speaker 4: to the very least kick a field goal late in
Speaker 4: the game. If Joe Mixon and C. J. Shroud don't
Speaker 4: botch the snap, don't botch the handoff, and the Colts
Speaker 4: recover and then you know they can go down and
Speaker 4: do their thing, or the game ends at three. It
Speaker 4: wasn't going to go like that, but everything that lead
Speaker 4: led up to that made it feel like a great handicap.
Speaker 4: Everything with Jacksonville felt like a bad handicap, and we
Speaker 4: just got lucky in the end. But you sort of
Speaker 4: have to say to yourself, did I get lucky in
Speaker 4: both games? Or were both games a great handicap? So
Speaker 4: I'm going with they were genius ideas and I am
Speaker 4: hoping the same thing happens with the Packers.
