Speaker 1: M check it down Man, Now Down Man Monday Morning
Speaker 1: to Stumber Beating the Brook Podcast. Kill Alexander Guessing Lines,
Speaker 1: Week fifteen in the National Football League. Hard to believe
Speaker 1: we're here, but yet we are coming off a good
Speaker 1: week and Week fourteen. See if we can't duplicate that
Speaker 1: Week fifteen latter parts of the NFL regular season. Doesn't
Speaker 1: mean we can't make some money off it, though, and
Speaker 1: we'll see if it continues week after week. My line
Speaker 1: for the Dolphins completely different from the markets, as well
Speaker 1: as my lines for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Will find that
Speaker 1: out more with Christy Andrew's guessing lines the staple every
Speaker 1: Monday right here football season, the Beating the Book Podcast.
Speaker 1: Enjoy It's a numbers game with your host, Kill Alexander
Speaker 1: wants to believe. Yes, it is a numbers game right
Speaker 1: here in Visa, the Vega Stats and Information Network, Serious XM,
Speaker 1: Channel two four, Visa dot Com, the Visa and App, Fubo,
Speaker 1: Sling and Game Plus and everywhere else. You're taking us.
Speaker 1: And it is Gil Alexander. It is Jeff Parls producing
Speaker 1: Number five. Jeff Parlay. Good morning to Jeff. How you
Speaker 1: doing man, how's your weekend. Thank you Ohio State, Thank
Speaker 1: you college football. Yeah now, and the committee got a
Speaker 1: right in the end. Oh yeah, thank god, we're here.
Speaker 1: We'll play back what we had to say about it,
Speaker 1: uh this past week case you missed it during the
Speaker 1: show today, our little interlude in the middle of guessing
Speaker 1: NFL lines four oh and one. For me in circa,
Speaker 1: this week is my finest week of the year, uh,
Speaker 1: in what has otherwise been a very men or bad year.
Speaker 1: Um so it all worked out this weekend. But let
Speaker 1: me just say the difference in the NFL versus college football,
Speaker 1: the predictability of what's going to happen in college versus
Speaker 1: the NFL, because every week in the NFL there's a
Speaker 1: damn Houston Texans performance. Don't have to be the Texans
Speaker 1: every week, I'm saying, but a a Texans like performance,
Speaker 1: if you will. What we saw from them yesterday against
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Just an inexplicable performance and outcome. And we'll
Speaker 1: get into all that. For those who are just landing
Speaker 1: on the show for the first time. This is a
Speaker 1: tribute to the old Stardust Guessing line show. I'm in
Speaker 1: a cocoon, I don't know the lines for week fifteen,
Speaker 1: the upcoming week's NFL lines, and we bring in the
Speaker 1: star of the show. He is my mission book of
Speaker 1: the South Point Hotel Casino sports book director Chris Andrews,
Speaker 1: who will join us and we'll tell us after I
Speaker 1: guess what the line is, what the line will actually be,
Speaker 1: he will post them at the end of the show.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, it is Chris Andrews. Good morning, Chris. Hey,
Speaker 1: what's going on? How was the How was the weekend?
Speaker 1: From a book perspective? From a book perspective? My grade?
Speaker 1: My grade? Um slightly in the black? Uh Saturday and Sunday,
Speaker 1: but but just barely, just barely. Okay, Um, here's the deal.
Speaker 1: You know how this goes, no buys anymore? Sixteen games
Speaker 1: and with do a little college football fakeure in the middle.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna, without further ado, we're gonna dive into
Speaker 1: this stuff because there were some classics yesterday and then
Speaker 1: we've gotten to the point in this season now where
Speaker 1: some games are like, all right, whatever, let's just move
Speaker 1: on to the next one kind of thing. So um,
Speaker 1: let's do it. And for those who again who are
Speaker 1: are landing here for the first time, In the process
Speaker 1: of guessing, we go through everything that happened yesterday in
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Let us begin, Chris with Thursday,
Speaker 1: the Jets at Baltimore. The Jets at Baltimore. By the way,
Speaker 1: I didn't think I said enough highs to you at
Speaker 1: the beginning. I feel like we've just dived in here
Speaker 1: and we just don't in here without place. So forget
Speaker 1: the pleasant trees. Jets at Baltimore, whatever that's right. Jets
Speaker 1: in a game that featured ten field goals, seven by
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, they beat the Dolphins, did the Jets twenty
Speaker 1: two to twenty one? Again? That twenty one was not
Speaker 1: from three touchdowns, It was from seven uh, Jason Sanders
Speaker 1: field goals. But that the Jets prevail on a forty
Speaker 1: four yarder from Sam Kicking ficking as time expired. Jets
Speaker 1: twenty two, Dolphins twenty. Congratulations, Jeffrey, you're in New York.
Speaker 1: Jets are five and eight. You're happy? No? Okay, no,
Speaker 1: if Miami punched it him once, I win my in
Speaker 1: game over. Uh, I can't wait to get Here's the
Speaker 1: theme of guessing lines all year. The theme of guessing
Speaker 1: lines all year is I mess up on the Dolphins
Speaker 1: and the Steelers. The Dolphins to my success and to
Speaker 1: my financial gain, the Steelers to my detriment. We'll see
Speaker 1: if that happens later in the in the show, but
Speaker 1: from a Jets perspective, Donald twenty thirty six for two,
Speaker 1: seventy two touchdowns, one pick in a sack. Robby Anderson
Speaker 1: in fact his primary target once again, seven for one,
Speaker 1: sixteen and a touchdown. And then there's Baltimore. Baltimore beats
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Nine wins in a row. Now for
Speaker 1: the Ravens is their longest regular season win streak and
Speaker 1: franchise history. They clinch a playoff birth Congratulations to everybody
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. They've held eight straight opponents now to twenty
Speaker 1: points or fewer so as much Lamar Jackson talk as
Speaker 1: we as we have. They've held eight straight opponents. The
Speaker 1: twenty points are fewer that ties of franchise record. They
Speaker 1: held Buffalo on Buffalo's first nine drive excuse me, first
Speaker 1: eleven drives, now, let's call it the first nine drives.
Speaker 1: They held them to seven points of fumble in a
Speaker 1: field goal. Pretty good. Lamar sixteen five, three touchdowns, a pick,
Speaker 1: a sack, eleven carries forty yards in his last six games,
Speaker 1: twenty one touchdowns in one pick, and of course he
Speaker 1: goes over a thousand yards rushing. He and Michael Vick
Speaker 1: the only people that have done that. Two d fifty
Speaker 1: seven totally yards for the Ravens too. Oh nine for
Speaker 1: the Bills. Defensive battle, Ravens had a lot of penalties
Speaker 1: to nine for ninety nine. But the Ravens get it done.
Speaker 1: They beat the Bills on the road, do so by
Speaker 1: the final score of UH twenty four to seventeen, covering
Speaker 1: the six and a half point spread in the process.
Speaker 1: I will say Baltimore by four. I will say two
Speaker 1: touchdowns Ravens minus fourteen at home. Here, Chris, you're just
Speaker 1: a shade light. It's fourteen and a half. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: open that, uh because you know, just the public will
Speaker 1: probably been I like the Jets in this spot. Uh.
Speaker 1: First of all, I mean listen to the the Jets. Are
Speaker 1: the Jets. I don't know if you saw the past
Speaker 1: interference called that gave them the game at the end
Speaker 1: of the Miami game, I say, was not called on
Speaker 1: the field? Uh, somebody in New York you know what?
Speaker 1: Uh you know whoever overseas the replay came in interrupted
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, games should have been over with
Speaker 1: Miami gone home with the victory and anyway set up. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, we even like had they completed
Speaker 1: the past it would have been a first down, you know,
Speaker 1: but again the automatic first down gave the Jets chance
Speaker 1: to win the game. Sam Ficken, Penn State boy converted,
Speaker 1: So I was glad to see that for Ficken. Uh,
Speaker 1: it was one of those games. It was we had
Speaker 1: hardly any games that were any good. That one like
Speaker 1: wasn't terrible, but it would have been pretty good if
Speaker 1: we could have got the Dolphins win out right for us. Uh. Anyway,
Speaker 1: regardless of that, you know, come on, Baltimore Chiefs. I mean,
Speaker 1: how many times can they just keep going to the well?
Speaker 1: I mean, they really are a terrific team. And I
Speaker 1: tell you people are comparing Jackson to Michael Vick. He's
Speaker 1: ten times either than Michael Vick. Ever was I mean,
Speaker 1: you don't comparing to anybody's probably Steve he's really good.
Speaker 1: But I just think there's a terrible spot form short
Speaker 1: week they just wrapped up, you know, the division, the playoffs.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just it's can't some motivation here. I
Speaker 1: really I think the Jets. I think it's a good
Speaker 1: spots for the Jets. You're taking over two touchdowns, you know. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put a slash work next to the Jets.
Speaker 1: I like them. Not that the number means anything. Uh,
Speaker 1: That's not what's causing me to play them. But I
Speaker 1: think the situation calls for the Jets, you know, and
Speaker 1: I like them, although I am at over fourteen and
Speaker 1: a half just because the public is gonna probably play
Speaker 1: the Ravens anyway. Baltimore closes after the game with the
Speaker 1: Jets at Cleveland and then home Pittsburgh. Excuse me, no
Speaker 1: reason they can't close it out with a flourish here.
Speaker 1: Uh and UH finished their season fourteen and two, trying
Speaker 1: for that number one, trying to secure the number one
Speaker 1: position in the a f C playoffs. Fourteen and a half,
Speaker 1: that's what you said. You put it up, Chris. I
Speaker 1: don't know what furteen and a half, you know. I
Speaker 1: see it like a little higher, but with heavy juice
Speaker 1: on the dog. I think fourteen half's okay. Just like
Speaker 1: I said, I if I were in a vacuum, the
Speaker 1: problem open of fourteen, but from public, probably be on
Speaker 1: Baltimore in this game. I'd be shocked if they weren't.
Speaker 1: And you bring up the past interference, and obviously referring
Speaker 1: in this league has been the theme all season long,
Speaker 1: and yesterday it was everywhere, just everywhere you look. Uh,
Speaker 1: and it's and I'll say this again from a position
Speaker 1: of having had a good week, because I think you
Speaker 1: have more credibility when you say it when you have
Speaker 1: had a good week, rather than going, say, oh, four
Speaker 1: and one when you're four oh and one. And that
Speaker 1: is I still cannot stand this league because there are
Speaker 1: so many things that happen with the rest that you
Speaker 1: just have no idea that we'll get to it. But
Speaker 1: there was something in the Raiders Titans game that was
Speaker 1: just egregious. And obviously this next game, I believe if
Speaker 1: you're going where I'm going with this, If I believe
Speaker 1: you're going to the next game, is it New England next? No?
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay in Detroit? Okay, Well we'll get to that.
Speaker 1: You know where that's going. Tampa Bay. Couple couple of spots, Okay,
Speaker 1: Tampa bad Detroit. I don't want to linger on this.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay wins their third in a row, four of
Speaker 1: five in the most Jamis of all Jamis Winston games. Ever,
Speaker 1: they were down fourteen late in the third quarter. Jamis
Speaker 1: Winston who who came off the most unlike un Jamis
Speaker 1: week of all time when he was zero touchdowns to
Speaker 1: zero picks yesterday against the the UH the Indianapolis Colt
Speaker 1: thirty three of forty five for four fifty six, four touchdowns,
Speaker 1: three picks and the sack also might have broken his
Speaker 1: thumb eight of fifteen on third downs for Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: five hundred and forty two total yards of offense and
Speaker 1: minus three in turnovers, having had four turnovers. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just all over the place. UH six for six
Speaker 1: penalties for a hundred four yards. They win, They beat
Speaker 1: the Colts, come back from fourteen, beat them thirty eight
Speaker 1: thirty five. And again shout out to Todd Wishnav who
Speaker 1: says every week Tampa Bay over, Tampa Bay over, and
Speaker 1: for some reason, these these totals come down on Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay and they keep staring over with the exception to
Speaker 1: last week. Last week, it's been an aberration. And then
Speaker 1: there's Detroit six game losing streak. Now for the Lions, uh,
Speaker 1: there wrest start. Since yesterday they're they're lost to the Vikings.
Speaker 1: Twenty seven was the first game this season where they
Speaker 1: never held the lead. So the Lions at three nine
Speaker 1: and one, have at least been in front at some
Speaker 1: point in every game this year except four. Yesterday, David
Speaker 1: two oh five one touchdown to pick sacked five times.
Speaker 1: I'll say Tampa Bay. Hard to say this, but Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay six and seven again three in a row, four
Speaker 1: or five, I'll say there a field goal favorite on
Speaker 1: the road. I see three and a half of four
Speaker 1: most of four. I had like the three and a
Speaker 1: half better. Yeah, I mean, I'm looking at the QBR
Speaker 1: and James was eighty three point eight on this QBR.
Speaker 1: I can't, Like I said, how what goes into the
Speaker 1: secret sauce, I really don't know a hell of the
Speaker 1: eight three point eight with three turnovers like that, I
Speaker 1: don't know. But his other if you throw away the interceptions,
Speaker 1: the other numbers are fantastic. He tends to keep both
Speaker 1: teams in the game at the same time. I think
Speaker 1: he did that yesterday or he you know, like I said,
Speaker 1: I raised those interceptions and he looked fantastic. Four hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty six yards in the air. Uh ten yards
Speaker 1: ten point one yards per attempt. So I put up
Speaker 1: thirty eight points for poisy and consistent. Oh my god, Anyway,
Speaker 1: I had like three and a half a little better. Uh.
Speaker 1: A lot of guys don't have it up because they think,
Speaker 1: you know, they might bring back Matthew Stafford him back
Speaker 1: at this point. They gotta be crazy. And I can't
Speaker 1: doctor signing off on it. But you know that the NFL,
Speaker 1: you never know they might do that. But I'm assuming
Speaker 1: there's gonna be no Matthew Stafford, and I'm gonna open
Speaker 1: it three and a half. And I think Todd is
Speaker 1: right about the total. I'm looking at forty seven and
Speaker 1: a half. Pretty high total. Uh, it should go up.
Speaker 1: You know there's no throw out of any weather in
Speaker 1: Detroit and ranting like that, so it should go up.
Speaker 1: But uh, I'm gonna kind of use this one a
Speaker 1: little bit high whenever it comes out. Total Wise, you know,
Speaker 1: the staff probably forty seven alf I'll start. They're probably
Speaker 1: gonna forty eight quickly if I see it show up.
Speaker 1: Stafford think is interesting because really they probably don't want
Speaker 1: him to play. But Stafford keeps talking like he wants
Speaker 1: to play. I'm assuming he's not either, I know, but
Speaker 1: like you said, who knows. All right, we won't linger
Speaker 1: on Tampa Bay Detroit. What's next? Uh? Philadelphia at Washington?
Speaker 1: All right, well we won't. Uh we haven't seen Philadelphia yet.
Speaker 1: They play the Giants tonight. Philadelphia nine and a half
Speaker 1: point favorite favorites against the Giants in a real barn
Speaker 1: burner of a Monday night football game in the NFC East.
Speaker 1: The Eagles trying to tie the Cowboys at least in
Speaker 1: their record, trying to get to six and seven and
Speaker 1: tie the Cowboys the top the NFC East. Uh, that
Speaker 1: division is going to be It's gonna be amazing to
Speaker 1: see what the final record is that the division winner there.
Speaker 1: But the Redskins eliminated from playoff contention. The dream is dead. Chris, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: They lose Green Bay yesterday fifteen. Put up a great fight.
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, What a what a catch in the end
Speaker 1: zone for the Redskins. But they lose. The Redskins do
Speaker 1: cover quite handily. Quite Uh the thirteen points spread. Um,
Speaker 1: I will say site unseen by the way, Dwayne Haskins
Speaker 1: for those who care sixteen of twenty seven for one
Speaker 1: seventy another uneven performance, one touchdown, one pick, sacked four times.
Speaker 1: I'll say Philadelphia minus four and a half on the
Speaker 1: road side unseen. Yeah again, you're a little light at six,
Speaker 1: and I'm okay with six. I mean, we've got to
Speaker 1: see what the Philly does to night. Of course, you know,
Speaker 1: I think you're being kind to Haskins. Is h he was.
Speaker 1: I've didn't think it was very good at all. Got
Speaker 1: sacked four times for twenty nine parts two b R
Speaker 1: sixteen points. Really it was funny though, Gil. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: we did not have a very good day. And I'm
Speaker 1: looking down some of the games lost. This is one
Speaker 1: of the lost. I thought that the public would be
Speaker 1: on Green Day. They were not. They were all over Washington.
Speaker 1: I want to want to say they were all over,
Speaker 1: but we definitely need a Green Bay to cover this game. Uh,
Speaker 1: but you know they maybe people are starting to realize,
Speaker 1: you maybe Green Day is not quite as good as advertise.
Speaker 1: But you know there's I do a bunch of teams
Speaker 1: in that mix right there, you know. But people did
Speaker 1: they took the you know, the very generous number with
Speaker 1: Washington and they covered so anyway I make six is okay,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm gonna open. The Eagles and Resins. Let's
Speaker 1: do one more while we're at it here, Okay, spe
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. We have Chicago at Green Bay, Iago
Speaker 1: at Green Bay, Chicago Chicago Bears. Um, okay, the Bears
Speaker 1: lose on no excuse. We win rather on the Thursday
Speaker 1: night beat the Cowboys. So the Bears are seven and
Speaker 1: six on the outside looking in currently in the NFC
Speaker 1: wild card race, and they are there two out of
Speaker 1: the number six position in the NFC playoffs, So hanging
Speaker 1: on for dear life. The Bears at seven and six,
Speaker 1: Packers are now ten and three. Boy, that is a
Speaker 1: gaudy record for a team that no one really thinks
Speaker 1: of as this monster team. But ten and three they are, nonetheless. Uh.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers yesterday in the victory against the Redskins, another
Speaker 1: clean sheet if you will, in terms of touchdowns and picks,
Speaker 1: eighteen of twenty one touchdown no picks. He was sacked
Speaker 1: four times. Aaron Jones at all the heavy lifting for
Speaker 1: the Packers yesterday, six for one thirty four and a
Speaker 1: touchdown on the ground, and then six catches for fifty eight.
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur first Packers coach to win ten plus games
Speaker 1: in his first season. How about that? Good for Matt Lafleur,
Speaker 1: not Mike McCarthy, not Bart Starr, not Vince Lombardi, mattal
Speaker 1: of floor. I'll say Green Bay minus four and a
Speaker 1: half in this one. Yeah, there's four and a half
Speaker 1: and five. I think that kind of like the four
Speaker 1: and a half better, you know. Get I'm looking at
Speaker 1: this and I kind of started looking at Roger's a
Speaker 1: little more closely, and as you know, some numbers are
Speaker 1: very gaudy. I think it's what twenty two touchdowns and
Speaker 1: two interceptions something like that for the season. Ah, but
Speaker 1: hiss QPR, he's only number sixteen in the league, which
Speaker 1: puts the right in the middle. Q BR is number
Speaker 1: nine in pass or rating the yards per tempt seven
Speaker 1: point four, which is you know, okay, it's not great.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm looking here and now he's twenty three.
Speaker 1: So after yesterday we had one touchdown this year twenty
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, two interceptions. Um, I don't know. At least
Speaker 1: I think we've seen the best of Rogers. I think
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's still a terrific quarterback in these times,
Speaker 1: I meddle of the pack, I think, and uh, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, Chicago, did they finally figure out
Speaker 1: how to use Krabisky a little bit better? I mean,
Speaker 1: the kid was really pretty good last year. I mean,
Speaker 1: he was the hot guy coming into this season for
Speaker 1: you know, m VT awards. Um. But you know, it
Speaker 1: hasn't really come to fruition yet. But he played very
Speaker 1: well the last couple of weeks. So we'll see if
Speaker 1: they figured something out or not. But I like four
Speaker 1: and a half. I see plenty of fives, some four
Speaker 1: and a half, and I like the four and a
Speaker 1: half a bit better. I'm proud of myself with that
Speaker 1: pick um. I'm sure we'll have some that I'll be
Speaker 1: way off on Miami and Pittsburgh still to come in
Speaker 1: those games Week fifteen. Wow, how did we get here?

Speaker 1: that out. By the way, I mentioned the Green Bay
Speaker 1: Packers ten and three with a record that is gaudy.
Speaker 1: No one really feels that they are They're not really
Speaker 1: In the short conversation, you don't hear anecdotally of people
Speaker 1: who think they're going to uh be a Super Bowl contender.
Speaker 1: But right now, as the NFC playoff pickture stands, you
Speaker 1: got the Niners, and we'll talk about the Niners coming
Speaker 1: up their unbelievable win over the Saints yesterday eleven and two.
Speaker 1: There in the number one slot. Green Bay is in
Speaker 1: the number two slot. If we do the old playoffs
Speaker 1: were to start today, thing, green Bay would get a
Speaker 1: first round by ten and three over the Saints, who
Speaker 1: have the same record by virtue of a best win
Speaker 1: percentage in conference games now obviously three games to go.
Speaker 1: There's much to be written about that, but gaudy records
Speaker 1: at the top of the NFC the Niners at eleven
Speaker 1: into the Packers, Saints, and Seahawks who currently now fall
Speaker 1: down to the number five position with their loss yesterday
Speaker 1: against the Rams, which we'll get to um and a
Speaker 1: game that you know, you can say, well, the Seahawks
Speaker 1: had nothing to play for. They still got the Niners,
Speaker 1: so they could still win the NFC West, the ball
Speaker 1: still on their racket. But I did have an effect
Speaker 1: on them trying to get the number one position because
Speaker 1: there's so many moving parts with the Packers in sts,
Speaker 1: so that loss did affect them yesterday. By the way,
Speaker 1: and in the line that Chrissy was going for, I
Speaker 1: think or not going for. But what Aaron Rodgers has
Speaker 1: articulated just to Chris's uh point, Aaron Rodgers says, I
Speaker 1: can see the eighteenth hole That's how he described his career.
Speaker 1: Now I can see the eighteenth hole coming back with
Speaker 1: Chrissy Andrews right here from the South Point Hotel Casino.
Speaker 1: And uh, it's guessing lines everybody. Week fifteen in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. Chris, where did we leave off? What's next? Well,
Speaker 1: we got New England at Cincinnati. By the way, you're
Speaker 1: talking about playing a Green Bay. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: things I like about college football better than the NFL.
Speaker 1: But there's things about the NFL and college is they
Speaker 1: played games in weather. You know, January. Probably somebody's gonna
Speaker 1: have to go to Green Bay, you know, I mean. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: in college everything then as dome or in perfect weather,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's not football. Okay, anyway, games away.
Speaker 1: You know, Jeff hoosin I Jeff who used to work
Speaker 1: at the ari En is no longer there. He works
Speaker 1: at Fandel. Now. We used to joke that, remember the
Speaker 1: year we're com play, Oh my god, if the Super
Speaker 1: bowls in New York, it's gonna be in clement weather. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: like look up at the screen, and the Gray Cup
Speaker 1: has played in like a blizzard every year. Year. We're complaining,
Speaker 1: you know about that stuff. So as you say that,
Speaker 1: I think about everybody in canadaliciting to that, like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: you guys playing weather Um, all right, oh yeah, New
Speaker 1: England at Cincinnati. Cincinnati loses to Cleveland. Yeah, Cincinnati loses
Speaker 1: to Cleveland. We gotta say, Billy chick. Yet we're on
Speaker 1: the Ccinnati. We're on to Cincinnati. Everybody made the same
Speaker 1: joke yesterday, We're on to Cincinnati. Real. Uh. Cincinnati loses
Speaker 1: to Cleveland twenty seven and nineteen. They do not cover
Speaker 1: the six and a half point spread. New England famously
Speaker 1: losing to the Chiefs yesterday twenty three to sixteen. As
Speaker 1: three point home favorites. They lose that game yesterday. It's
Speaker 1: their first home loss for the Patriots since October one, seventeen.
Speaker 1: They had won twenty one straight, including the playoffs at Gillette.
Speaker 1: It's their first regular season home lass versus an a
Speaker 1: FC opponent. With Brady and Edelman, they were forty two
Speaker 1: and oh before this game in that subset, uh and
Speaker 1: currently now oh and three versus all the other a
Speaker 1: f C Division leaders Baltimore, Houston and Kansas City Houston
Speaker 1: in a tie with Tennessee, of course. And here's the
Speaker 1: thing last five games for the Patriots, and which they've
Speaker 1: gone two and three. They've only scored seventeen point six
Speaker 1: points per game over their last five. Tom Brady yester
Speaker 1: Day nineteen thirty six, one sixty nine, one touchdown, one pick.
Speaker 1: He was sacked three times. That's only four point seven
Speaker 1: yards per attempt, third time this season he's had four
Speaker 1: point seven or fewer yards per attempt, and before this year,
Speaker 1: just to give you an indication, he had dropped below
Speaker 1: four point seven yards per attempt once since two thousand nine.
Speaker 1: So through that lens, this is Tom Brady in the twilight. Uh.
Speaker 1: He was sacked again three times on thirty nine drop
Speaker 1: backs yesterday for twenty yards. He was also hit six times.
Speaker 1: Edelman was his primary target eight of nine touchdown but
Speaker 1: the Patriots were two of twelve on third downs and
Speaker 1: the six first half drives after their opening possession touchdown
Speaker 1: went three and out block field goal interception on the
Speaker 1: first play of the drive, turnover on downs when they
Speaker 1: uh decided not to kick a forty four yard field
Speaker 1: goal three and out, three and out. So no, not
Speaker 1: good on offense. But here's the deal now, and so
Speaker 1: the Patriots fans are gonna say this, uh we that
Speaker 1: they got screwed by the referees. First of all, there
Speaker 1: was a late hit on Patrick Mahomes out of bounds
Speaker 1: that went the Patriots way. Wasn't called, So let's just
Speaker 1: establish that it was the Patriots way. But Chiefs were
Speaker 1: leading twenty three to thirteen towards the end of the
Speaker 1: third quarter, Belichick challenges, I don't know if it was
Speaker 1: a first down for Sammy Watkins or not. It doesn't
Speaker 1: go their way. They lose the challenge. The play was upheld,
Speaker 1: they were charge of time out. That is five plays
Speaker 1: after that. Then the big one. Patriots safety Devin mccordy
Speaker 1: knocks the ball out of Travis Kelsey's hands while the
Speaker 1: two were up in the air. New England recovers the fumble,
Speaker 1: but the play was blown dead. This is at three
Speaker 1: to thirteen. Kelsey ruled down by contact five plays after that,
Speaker 1: and by the way, it looked like it was a
Speaker 1: touchdown on the return. Five plays after that, first in fifteen,
Speaker 1: just over thirteen minutes to go, it's twenty three to thirteen.
Speaker 1: Brady two in kill Harry looks like he scores a
Speaker 1: touchdown ruled out at the three yard line replay show
Speaker 1: and in fact it should have been a touchdown. But
Speaker 1: the Patriots at that point out of challenges. I never
Speaker 1: understood when you get a challenge, right, why you were
Speaker 1: not given there challenges makes no sense. It's the referees burden.
Speaker 1: They screwed you. So the Patriots do get screwed there.
Speaker 1: It ends up being a field goal. So that's potentially
Speaker 1: eleven points off the board right there for the New
Speaker 1: England Patriots. No one's gonna cry for the Patriots. I'm
Speaker 1: not making that point, but that's in fact what happened yesterday. UM.
Speaker 1: And then Cincinnati. If anyone cares fo one yards and
Speaker 1: defeat against the Browns, good for them. Joe makes in
Speaker 1: a good game and a touchdown. They are one in twelve,
Speaker 1: the Patriots are ten and three. Uh the Patriots. Look,
Speaker 1: they can still have a thirteen and three season here
Speaker 1: quite easily. Right now. If the a f C playoffs
Speaker 1: were to begin, they would have a first round by
Speaker 1: there in the number two slat behind the Ravens. I'll
Speaker 1: say the Patriots by ten on the road. Kind of
Speaker 1: a lazy guess at Cincinnati, well, gild oh, mostly ten,
Speaker 1: But the wise guys are on the dog here. I
Speaker 1: see nine, but mostly nine and a half. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: open nine and a half. That's kind of a teaser number.
Speaker 1: You guys are gonna tease the Patriots down. Okay, I
Speaker 1: want to get under the three and a half and
Speaker 1: then have to pay a little extra juice by the
Speaker 1: six and a half or seven point teaser. I would
Speaker 1: have no beep at either nine or nine and a half.
Speaker 1: And we went. We talked a lot about Brady and
Speaker 1: you know some of my notes on Brady's QBR's number
Speaker 1: eight team in the league passer rating number twenty two
Speaker 1: yards for attempt six point six, so, you know, not
Speaker 1: really very good. But all that being said, you know,
Speaker 1: they did get screwed out of that game this year.
Speaker 1: And he said, nobody's crying to the papers. I'm crying
Speaker 1: a little bit because I needed the Pagriots here today
Speaker 1: the public that I can't. I always don't cry for
Speaker 1: the Bookmaker boys, never. Uh. But I did cry a
Speaker 1: little bit down. But you know, all that being said,
Speaker 1: he still had them with a pretty darning good chance
Speaker 1: to at least tie that game. Uh. But the thing
Speaker 1: about Lady, he just he doesn't have much salt. He's
Speaker 1: got a great defense, but offensively, you know, where is
Speaker 1: that help? And you know, the offensive line I think
Speaker 1: has really kind of let him down this year too.
Speaker 1: I think it's really been kind of one of those
Speaker 1: underreported things over the years. Their offensive line is really
Speaker 1: protected them well, has enabled different running backs to come
Speaker 1: in there and have an awful lot of success. Uh,
Speaker 1: the offensive line than it's just very neaty oakly this year.
Speaker 1: And and it's shown, you can they still own the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? They can. I mean this reminds me that
Speaker 1: Denver team that won the Super Bowl with Peyton Manning,
Speaker 1: uh in his last year. And I think you know
Speaker 1: breeding uh about Rogers SNEA team Pole. I think Brady
Speaker 1: could definitely see it. Uh. But anyway, I'm gonna use
Speaker 1: not and a half here. I think that numbers okay,
Speaker 1: but I won't be surprised that comes on. Surprised the
Speaker 1: live guys play Cincinnati this week. Yeah, and we said
Speaker 1: it last week, and it deserves repeating what you just
Speaker 1: alluded to. Look, nothing's just one person. It's not just
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. The offensive line completely letting him down, the
Speaker 1: Gronk retirement, the fact that they've had all these these
Speaker 1: receivers come in and out, from Antonio Brown to Josh
Speaker 1: Gordon to Damarrius Thomas. Just a turnstile, and Edelman still
Speaker 1: is his number one target. I'm not sure if and
Speaker 1: kill Harry Will Will Will establish himself as one. But
Speaker 1: it has really been a full, just comprehensive fail on offense.
Speaker 1: And yeah, Brady, that four point seven yards per attempts
Speaker 1: at is pretty interesting. Third time this season had had
Speaker 1: one of those since two thousand nine before this season.
Speaker 1: That says it all. But they could still be thirteen
Speaker 1: and three, So like, what are we talking about? Right?
Speaker 1: They're still good. It's just that they can't seem to
Speaker 1: beat the good teams Baltimore, Houston, UH and Kansas City
Speaker 1: the other respective division leaders in the American Football Conference
Speaker 1: and Patriots right now game lead over the Bills in
Speaker 1: the a f C. So that's not that's not done
Speaker 1: yet either. Let's make sure we point that out. Bills
Speaker 1: will still have something to say about that. Alright. One
Speaker 1: more here before the break, Houston at Tennessee. So this
Speaker 1: is an easy line. This has to be Tennessee minus three.
Speaker 1: Let's just establish that Houston is is the poster child
Speaker 1: this week of why the NFL is so frustrating for
Speaker 1: betters and for viewers. Houston just absolutely crushes the Patriots,
Speaker 1: and then they turn around and lay an egg against
Speaker 1: Drew Lock and the Denver Broncos. Maybe we've all under
Speaker 1: underestimated Drew Lock. We'll get to that. Houston allowed four
Speaker 1: touchdowns in a field goal on Denver's first five possessions yesterday.
Speaker 1: My god. Uh, they've allowed twenty three touchdown passes Houston
Speaker 1: has in their last nine games, three yesterday. Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1: That was only his second career. This is a fascinating
Speaker 1: stat to me. Deshaun Watson's second career regular season loss
Speaker 1: by nine plus points. Both have happened in the last
Speaker 1: four weeks. Other than that, it's all one possession losses
Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson or a victory. He was two one touchdown,
Speaker 1: two picks, sack three times, and DeAndre Hopkins no surprise
Speaker 1: as biggest targets seven for one twenty a touchdown. But
Speaker 1: Houston gets beat by Denver, and they get beat by uh,
Speaker 1: you know, as a as a sizeable pretty sizeable favorite. Uh.
Speaker 1: In this ball game. They were closing eight point closing favorites.
Speaker 1: It was higher during the week, but eight point closing favorites.
Speaker 1: They get beat by two touchdowns thirty eight to twenty four,
Speaker 1: and by the way, fourteen of those were cosmetic in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, so it was really worse than that.
Speaker 1: It was thirty eight to ten to start the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter um and there were minus two in turnovers as
Speaker 1: well to boot. And then there's Tennessee as schizophrenic as
Speaker 1: Houston has been to get to eight and five. Then
Speaker 1: they're slow and steady Tennessee to get to eight and five.
Speaker 1: And Tennessee and Houston right now are tied to top
Speaker 1: the a f C South. Neither has played each other yet,
Speaker 1: so they play here in Tennessee in week fifteen, then
Speaker 1: they'll come back and play in Houston in weeks seventeen.
Speaker 1: Yesterday Tennessee destroyed the Raiders in the second half, primarily,
Speaker 1: but the Titans now four game winning streak. They've averaged
Speaker 1: thirty seven and a half points during that four game
Speaker 1: winning streak. All by the way, with thirty plus points yesterday,
Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty two totally yards of offense at Oakland,
Speaker 1: the most total yards in a game for Tennessee since
Speaker 1: they were the Houston Oilers. By the way, Ryan Tannehill
Speaker 1: one twenties seven for three one I think one of
Speaker 1: those was a ninety one yard touchdown passed to Brown.
Speaker 1: Uh three touchdowns, one pick wasn't sacked Derrick Henry. Nice
Speaker 1: to have him behind you. Eighteen carries a hundred three yards,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns A J. Brown. I mentioned five catches for
Speaker 1: one fifty three two touchdowns. They were eight of eleven
Speaker 1: on third downs and once again five fifty two total yards.
Speaker 1: We will never hear from Marcus Mariotta in a Tennessee
Speaker 1: Titan uniform ever again. Somewhere else maybe, but never again
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. Um, it's Tennessee minus three, right, very first
Speaker 1: thing I said has to be that, Yeah, I see
Speaker 1: three with a little bit of juice on the favorite,
Speaker 1: which I do understand. If I was using juice, i'd
Speaker 1: probably juice a little. But I think three is a
Speaker 1: pretty good opening number. I wanted to write off the
Speaker 1: Texans too quickly. They played awful yes was one of
Speaker 1: the first and one of the only games we won yesterday,
Speaker 1: and it was a really good result for us, one
Speaker 1: of the very very few. Um, but you know, time
Speaker 1: about Mariota. UM. I think the thing about Tannehill, I
Speaker 1: think we always looked back at him. I think he
Speaker 1: finally found a coach that could really use his skills
Speaker 1: to the utmost. And you know, I know it's something
Speaker 1: we've talked about. I don't think it's talked about much
Speaker 1: in other areas. The coaching means so much to a
Speaker 1: quarterbacks career, and I think Tannehill didn't get good coaching
Speaker 1: his first couple of years. And how he's getting that
Speaker 1: coaching and really, uh you know, showing what he can do,
Speaker 1: and uh doesn't speak well for Mario because he had
Speaker 1: that same coaching. And I think he's at the bottom
Speaker 1: of the list as far as uh, you know, players
Speaker 1: eligible whatever that means. With QBR, he just was not
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. He really went downhill after a pretty
Speaker 1: good rookie year. UM. Anyway, that being said, three I
Speaker 1: think is a good number. Me As I'm watching the
Speaker 1: screen right now, some money from some Shark guys is
Speaker 1: showing up on Houston. You can see that right now.
Speaker 1: And I will say this, I think Lamar Jackson is terrific.
Speaker 1: I mean, what can you say bad? I just compared
Speaker 1: with the Steve young. I'm not sure how many how
Speaker 1: much more complimentary you can get, but the Shawn Watson
Speaker 1: is pretty hardy good too. I mean, I'm not you know,
Speaker 1: it won't surprise me if he has a better career
Speaker 1: than than Lamar Jackson. I really liked this kid an
Speaker 1: awful lot, you know. I don't think he has the
Speaker 1: uh the tools around him that Jackson asked, but I
Speaker 1: think that kids awful good. So one game. If there
Speaker 1: was only some Deshaun Watson performances in college, we could
Speaker 1: have drawn upon to know this, Chrissie. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just it's amazing. Yeah, all right, we'll come back. We'll
Speaker 1: do some more line guessing for Week fifteen in the NFL.
Speaker 1: And I got a bunch to say about college football.
Speaker 1: We'll do that too. It's a numbers game right here
Speaker 1: at Visa v Sports Betting Network. Welcome back to a
Speaker 1: numbers game with Jill Alexander guessing some more lines Week
Speaker 1: fifteen in the National Football League. Chris Andrews is here, Chrissie.
Speaker 1: What's next? Carolina Seattle at Carolina Seattle losing and losing
Speaker 1: pretty uh pretty handily? Is that I p represents to
Speaker 1: the Rams yesterday to twelve at a pick six early
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. But really, besides that one moment
Speaker 1: of hope, uh, the Rams just absolutely destroying the Seahawks
Speaker 1: last night is one point favorites. And again for those
Speaker 1: who are like, well, you know, Seahawks still control their
Speaker 1: destiny in the NFC West, could have still had a
Speaker 1: shot at the number one position in the entire conference.
Speaker 1: Still do, but there's a lot more moving parts. So
Speaker 1: that lass hurts them in that respect, and good for
Speaker 1: the good for the Rams. We'll get to them coming up.
Speaker 1: Carolina loses yesterday to Atlanta forty to twenty on the
Speaker 1: road as three and a half point dog. So Caroline
Speaker 1: has done zo uh no Ron Rivera yesterday. Seattle's ten
Speaker 1: and three very much in the mix in the NFC
Speaker 1: playoff picture, they're in the number five position. Carolina playing
Speaker 1: out the string Russell Wilson yesterday and defeat two thirty
Speaker 1: six for two, forty five no touchdowns, one pick. He
Speaker 1: was sacked five times. And then there's Kyle Allen for
Speaker 1: the Panthers and defeat forty one for two, one touchdown,
Speaker 1: two picks, sacked five times. Christin McCaffrey eleven for fifty
Speaker 1: three on the ground eleven for eighty two through the year,
Speaker 1: but the Panthers were minus four in turnovers. They had
Speaker 1: four turnovers to Atlanta's zero. I'll say Seattle minus four
Speaker 1: and a half. Here on the road, your shade light,
Speaker 1: I see five and a happ and six. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I think I kind of like the six a little
Speaker 1: bit better for Flciatto still, and they're a pretty goood
Speaker 1: road team. People were kind of over estimating their strength
Speaker 1: at home. We kind of underestimating their strength on the road. Uh.
Speaker 1: But Carolina just looks like, you know, they whatever they had,
Speaker 1: they really lost it the last half of the season. Uh,
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, I mean he's just getting sacked. He has
Speaker 1: the most sack yards of any quarterback in the NFL. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, so the offensive line is really letting them down.
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, you know, a great game yesterday. As great
Speaker 1: as the kid is, I think he's getting a little
Speaker 1: worn out too, really because of that offensive line hasn't
Speaker 1: been giving them the protection that I got like that
Speaker 1: needs still, every every running back needs it. But they're
Speaker 1: they're not doing him any favors. Uh. You know, Seattle
Speaker 1: even last night and they did not look good. They
Speaker 1: didn't score an offensive touchdown and I needed the Rams.
Speaker 1: It was one of the very few games that we
Speaker 1: won yesterday. We needed their Rams pretty good. I'm watching
Speaker 1: the game, I'm saying, geez, this Russell Wilson is just
Speaker 1: hard to kill. You know, he had a shot. You
Speaker 1: know what I mean that this kid is just up
Speaker 1: and uh and I boy, I'll tell you what, He's
Speaker 1: as good as any quarterback in the NFL. Still. Anyway,
Speaker 1: I like the six a little better. I think it's
Speaker 1: a team that's really has a lot to play for
Speaker 1: and I think despite the performance yesterday, I think they
Speaker 1: rebound off of that pretty good. In Carolina, I just
Speaker 1: don't see much out of this team right now. Uh.
Speaker 1: They got annihilated yesterday and I know the turnovers were
Speaker 1: part of it. Right, I'm gonna go with six. I
Speaker 1: think that's just a little bit better. I can see
Speaker 1: the five and a half. I'm gonna open six and
Speaker 1: where they want to go with that. Yeah. The interesting
Speaker 1: that Carolina is You're right about Christian McCaffrey, Like, at
Speaker 1: what point do they just sit him right? Like? What
Speaker 1: there's nothing to gain here? He's your franchise player. Do
Speaker 1: you roll him out there every week and just hey,
Speaker 1: he never comes off the field right like he was
Speaker 1: playing add percent of snaps at one point. Um, So
Speaker 1: they got to make a decision with that. All right,
Speaker 1: let's do one more here next up Denver and through
Speaker 1: the city little caveat here. Some guys don't have this up.
Speaker 1: Looks like Mahomes hurt his hand yesterday. He did. He's,
Speaker 1: you know, right now listed as kind of questionable on
Speaker 1: assuming he's gonna play. Let me put it that way
Speaker 1: and assume he's gonna play. But some guy he's gonna
Speaker 1: have it up because of that. Okay, we'll assume for
Speaker 1: our purposes here that he's gonna play Denver. As they mentioned,
Speaker 1: Denver beats Houston yesterday. They scored thirty one points. Denver
Speaker 1: did in the first half yesterday. Hadn't had a game
Speaker 1: with more than twenty five before that. Drew Lock in
Speaker 1: his second game coming off a victory in his first
Speaker 1: performance twenty two of twenty seven for three oh nine,
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, one pick, with sacked once. And nobody loves
Speaker 1: Drew Lock more than Drew Lock. Loves Drew Lock. Whenever
Speaker 1: there's a good play boy. He really likes the flex
Speaker 1: no offense was his primary target for for on thirteen
Speaker 1: in a touchdown casey as we talked about, they beat
Speaker 1: the Patriots. They clinched their fourth straight a f C
Speaker 1: West title, all seven seasons under Andy read in Kansas
Speaker 1: City nine or more wins for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1: That is phenomenal. Patrick Mahomes the afrementioned Patrick Mahomes. He
Speaker 1: was twenty sixty three, one touchdown, one pick. He was
Speaker 1: sacked once. Chiefs did have a lot of penalties ten
Speaker 1: for one thirty six in that game. But uh, as
Speaker 1: much as the refs helped him, they also dominated the Patriots,
Speaker 1: So let's not take that away from them. The Chiefs
Speaker 1: a f C West champs. I'll say Kansas City minus
Speaker 1: ten and a half. I'll give him the hook here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right in there. I see is lower as ten
Speaker 1: as high and eleven and a half. I was thinking
Speaker 1: about going right kind of in the middle and using
Speaker 1: ten and a half. You're worried a little bit about
Speaker 1: my homes Again, I'm worried about him. Also worried that, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, they may not try to run you know,
Speaker 1: they run up the score but maybe just trying to
Speaker 1: play a little more conservatively to not get Mahomes hurt
Speaker 1: in case there is something even slightly off. H there's
Speaker 1: one guy might like Drew Lock as much as he does,
Speaker 1: and that's me. That was a big game for us,
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm looking at because QBR, you know
Speaker 1: what just to you know, point six. So I not
Speaker 1: only was it the highest of the day, it's one
Speaker 1: of the highest of the year. I think Lamar checking
Speaker 1: at a couple of higher than that, but that is
Speaker 1: a aren't good QBR. That's the rating was one thirty six,
Speaker 1: So it was you know, in all fastons of the game.
Speaker 1: He was fantastic. Wedn't have one interception, uh, and he
Speaker 1: was great. You know, maybe they found their quarterback in
Speaker 1: Denburgh after finally with Peyton Mann and retired to try
Speaker 1: a couple of different guys. But uh, like I said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and a half. I see it higher.
Speaker 1: I kind of like the lowered umber here. Uh, you know,
Speaker 1: with the injury. Actually, I think my homes will be okay,
Speaker 1: but I think they'll just playing a little more conservatively
Speaker 1: to make sorties. Okay, now we're getting into the really
Speaker 1: part of the seed and then everybody remembers who won
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Not not. He's gonna be Denver in h
Speaker 1: you know in December. That's not gonna that's not gonna matter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Chiefs nine and four. By the way, if the playoffs
Speaker 1: were to start right now, they would have to play
Speaker 1: the opening weekend because they do not have a first
Speaker 1: round book still looking up at the Ravens and the Patriots.
Speaker 1: We'll do that and return to guessing lines. It's a

Speaker 1: beautifully for me. Every week I have a number on
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and every week the market says something much
Speaker 1: worse and we make money doing it. By the way,
Speaker 1: it's the opposite with the Steelers. But this all came
Speaker 1: from the worst guests of all time about two months
Speaker 1: ago when the Steelers played the Dolphins and I had
Speaker 1: it at seven and a half and it was fourteen
Speaker 1: or fourteen and a half. Never had anything like that.
Speaker 1: So with a Dolphins game, I always give what I
Speaker 1: think the line should be and why I think it
Speaker 1: all will be, because I know that I do this
Speaker 1: every week with him. So Miami at the Giants, and
Speaker 1: we haven't seen the Giants play tonight, it will be
Speaker 1: Eli Manning tonight. For all you Eli Manning fans out there,
Speaker 1: he takes his one hundred sixteen and one hundred sixteen
Speaker 1: straight up career record and puts it on the line
Speaker 1: tonight against the Eagles. But it's Miami at the Giants.
Speaker 1: My line, besides something crazy happening tonight, Chris would be
Speaker 1: a pick them. But because I know I do this
Speaker 1: every week, I'm imagining the Giants will be I don't know,
Speaker 1: two and a half point favorites. Yeah, even your imaginary
Speaker 1: line is too low. It's three it's three and a half.
Speaker 1: I see some three and a half with juice on
Speaker 1: the dog. Why look? Why? Why? Like why? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean, I'm gonna open three and
Speaker 1: see if I'll probably get that. You know, just keep
Speaker 1: I keep the limits low on these teams that are
Speaker 1: playing on Monday night. Uh, Eli, I expectly expect the
Speaker 1: Giants to play well tonight. I think they cover. I
Speaker 1: kind of like them tonight. Um, but you know, Eli,
Speaker 1: interesting story if he I put him in the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame for denying Brady two more Super Bowls reason
Speaker 1: the Hall of same block, if you will, Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I put him in just for that. I like your
Speaker 1: number back. I don't know if I like two and
Speaker 1: a half. I thought this should have been at three,
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm gonna open it. They'll probably be
Speaker 1: a favorite, but that's okay. I mean, I'm here in
Speaker 1: Miami the last couple of weeks and shooting yesterday. I
Speaker 1: would had a one out right that would have helped
Speaker 1: us a little more. They totally got screwed, yes, shape,
Speaker 1: they really got screwed. I know, like nobody's crying for
Speaker 1: New England walked up for me. I hated him, but
Speaker 1: you know, Miami, they should cry for my That team
Speaker 1: absolutely got screwed thisstor they should have won that game.
Speaker 1: The reps have interfered where they absolutely should not have.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna open three. We'll see what gore. It
Speaker 1: goes from there, all right, if it's your your starting
Speaker 1: with three. If this gets to three and a half,
Speaker 1: even at three, Dolphins straight and a half, you know,
Speaker 1: and just far away places if you have a phone account,
Speaker 1: virtually everywhere in town, it's straight and a half there
Speaker 1: it is. There's my first play of the week. Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Yet again, every week, broken record. There is no justification
Speaker 1: for the Giants being over three. Three is still outrageous enough,
Speaker 1: But three and a half, come on, Dolphins first pick?
Speaker 1: All right? Fitzpatrick by the way, yesterday in defeat defeat
Speaker 1: refereated thirty seven for two forty five, no touchdowns, one pick.
Speaker 1: He was sacked twice. They're not terrible with Ryan Fitzpatrick,
Speaker 1: that's the point. And that was without Davante for most
Speaker 1: of the game yesterday. So all right, what's next? Buffalo
Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh? Now this got switch. That's going to be
Speaker 1: the Sunday night so this is now Sunday night. Should
Speaker 1: we hold that off? Let's hold on to that. Let's
Speaker 1: do another morning game. Yeah, let's do another morning game.
Speaker 1: All right, Jacksonville as open. Oh man, Jacksonville loses yesterday. Uh,
Speaker 1: they lose big time once again. When I say big time,
Speaker 1: I mean they just get crushed. Jacksonville loses to the
Speaker 1: Chargers yesterday forty five to ten. And by the way,
Speaker 1: isn't that the most typical Chargers performance? While no one's watching,
Speaker 1: they go ahead and they crushed somebody. That's just some Charges.
Speaker 1: Jacksonville is now four and nine. For those of you
Speaker 1: who were still hanging onto hopes of the Jaguars making
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I'm sorry they were eliminated from playoff contention yesterday.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing with the They got rolled yesterday
Speaker 1: by the Charges to ten. That game was twenty four
Speaker 1: to three at half time. I mean it was over quick.
Speaker 1: Jacksonville has had five straight losses now by seventeen plus points.
Speaker 1: That ties the longest streak in franchise history. Now the
Speaker 1: last nine seasons, they have a guarantee now with their
Speaker 1: ninth loss yesterday. Eight of the last nine seasons, Chris
Speaker 1: nine plus losses. So literally that one year where they
Speaker 1: almost beat the Patriots in the playoffs, it's like the
Speaker 1: most aberrational year whatsoever, because the other eight years surrounding that,
Speaker 1: we're just Crapola Gardner Minshew Minshew. Yesterday thirty seven for one,
Speaker 1: six one touchdowns. Note Pixy was sacked twice, but they
Speaker 1: gave up five hundred and twenty five arts twenty five
Speaker 1: yards of the Chargers five. And if you recall last
Speaker 1: week Jacksonville, I was here on guesting lines talking about
Speaker 1: how they had sixteen penalties, sixteen in the game for one. Well,
Speaker 1: they did so much better this week. It was ten
Speaker 1: for one oh one. So they're also getting penalized left
Speaker 1: and right there, just completely on discipline. And I owe
Speaker 1: Jeff Parlay an apology, because Jeff, last week on the show,
Speaker 1: you were saying how you thought some teams quit. You
Speaker 1: might be right about Jacksonville. You might very well be
Speaker 1: right about they are terrible. They are so bad right now.
Speaker 1: And then there's Oakland who gets rolled in the second
Speaker 1: half by Tennessee. And let me just say, of all
Speaker 1: the bad calls yesterday, I will put up what happened
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half in this Oakland
Speaker 1: Tennessee game against anything, and for those of us who
Speaker 1: had Tennessee in the first half, we were justifiably piste
Speaker 1: Derek Carr with the ball at the one yard line,
Speaker 1: clearly with an intentional grounding. Clearly like you if you
Speaker 1: took a direct line back from the UH from center
Speaker 1: and extended it all the way down the field, it
Speaker 1: would have hit Derek Carr in the groin, and he
Speaker 1: threw the ball away and the rest were like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't say anything. Now, they don't say anything at all.
Speaker 1: That doesn't guaranteed they wouldn't scored a touchdown, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure made it a lot less likely. No call whatsoever.
Speaker 1: But Oakland gets crushed. He was one at the half.
Speaker 1: They lose forty two to twenty one, as Tennessee, as
Speaker 1: I mentioned, just crushes them in the second half twenty
Speaker 1: one and nothing. Oakland outscored now in their last three
Speaker 1: games three game losing streak, each by twenty plus points
Speaker 1: one sixteen to thirty three. That's the Oakland Raiders, who,
Speaker 1: if you recall, had this really tough schedule early in
Speaker 1: the year. And we all and let me raise my hand,
Speaker 1: we all completely underrated the Raiders, and now they're losing
Speaker 1: games left and right. But they get the Jaguars here
Speaker 1: they were out scored twenty one and nothing in the
Speaker 1: second half. Were the Raiders. Six of their seven losses
Speaker 1: have been by double digits. Derek car yesterday thirty four
Speaker 1: for two sixty three, two touchdowns, no picks. He was
Speaker 1: sacked twice. But again they gave up five hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty two totally yards of offense to the Titans. But
Speaker 1: because it's Jacksonville, I don't like Oakland at all. But
Speaker 1: because it's Jacksonville, doesn't this have to be a touchdown?
Speaker 1: Isn't this Oakland? Mine is seven? Based on what we
Speaker 1: just said about Jacksonville. Yeah, you know, I kind of
Speaker 1: like your number, and you're you're a little high though
Speaker 1: I've seen as low as five and a half on
Speaker 1: this game, as high as six and a half. I'm
Speaker 1: definitely gonna be on the high end here. I like
Speaker 1: six and a half. You know, I'm going at the numbers. Here,
Speaker 1: there's Car. His key was eighty five point nine. Again,
Speaker 1: I like to look at it. Qb RT is a
Speaker 1: different way at some staffs. I don't know how the
Speaker 1: hell they came up with that one. I gotta my buddy,
Speaker 1: I have Australia and it might be listening right now.
Speaker 1: Goldie Gone. He sent me as a film clip of
Speaker 1: car on a fourth and goal or he completely throws
Speaker 1: the ball away. Yeah, and it's just like a little
Speaker 1: a film quip. And then he just was your boy.
Speaker 1: Because I have spoken well of Derek Carr lately and
Speaker 1: their boy. I do love the Austin's. They've got a
Speaker 1: great sense of humor, great people anyway. But I'm with Parlay.
Speaker 1: I mean, this team has quit. I mean, at first
Speaker 1: of all, they do have Nick Foles. I don't know
Speaker 1: if they would make any different The partner Minshew is
Speaker 1: not the guy to build a franchise around. Let me
Speaker 1: come on, He's gonna be a guy that's uh, you know.
Speaker 1: He might have a career like Fitzpatrick if he's really
Speaker 1: really lucky, you know, but he's not a guy to
Speaker 1: build a franchise around. And they look like they've absolutely
Speaker 1: quit and every fact of the game. I do not
Speaker 1: see that out of Oakland. Even though they got trumps yesterday.
Speaker 1: I don't think this team will quit at all. And uh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna open six and app but to be on
Speaker 1: the high end all week, I promise you. And uh,
Speaker 1: I'm putting my slash mark next to Oakland here. I'd
Speaker 1: like them. I think they yeah, their number two for me.
Speaker 1: I know we had a whole first hour. I didn't
Speaker 1: have anything, But it's Miami and Oakland right on the
Speaker 1: shoot here and here's enough. And here's the other reason
Speaker 1: why my line at seven is better than the market.
Speaker 1: This is the last game at Oakland Alameda County Coliseum,
Speaker 1: so come on, really it shouldn't be seven. Now. Watched
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew off a game of his life, right, But
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like this this is going to be
Speaker 1: who knows what happens? Didn't we have We thought we
Speaker 1: had a last game last year there, didn't we kind
Speaker 1: of feel? And now who knows? I guess I'll say
Speaker 1: the same thing. Who knows what that stadium is gonna
Speaker 1: be like on Sunday. Of course, some would argue Oakland
Speaker 1: has another home game at the Chargers next week, but
Speaker 1: you get what I'm saying, last one in Oakland anyway.
Speaker 1: Um So Oakland, mine is seven for me, and you're
Speaker 1: opening at six and a half. You say, okay, six
Speaker 1: and alf, I'm open at six and a half. Well,
Speaker 1: like I said, I see well, I'm as I'm speaking.
Speaker 1: The five and a halfs are starting to disappear. It's
Speaker 1: going up. I'm gonna open six and a half. I
Speaker 1: see a lot of six. If I get seven, slash
Speaker 1: or even if everybody goes to six and a half,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to seven. I'm gonna stay out of
Speaker 1: this one. So I'm with you. I think Oakland just rolls.
Speaker 1: I really do. Yeah, I hate to back the Raiders,
Speaker 1: but this would be the one, the one situation. All right,
Speaker 1: let's do one more here before the break. Cleveland at Arizona. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's exciting. Cleveland six and seven. Cleveland, Uh beat Cincinnati yesterday.
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield eleven completions on the day, eleven more than you.
Speaker 1: Jeffrey eleven for twenty four for one two no touchdowns,
Speaker 1: two picks. He was sacked ones Nick Chubb fifteen from
Speaker 1: one of six on the ground. And because we always
Speaker 1: like to just talk about Odell Beckham two catches for
Speaker 1: thirty nine yards. He was targeted a grand total of
Speaker 1: five times. And he's going around in pregame warmups telling
Speaker 1: other teams you could have me get me out of here.
Speaker 1: The Browns worth seven of twelve on third downs, so
Speaker 1: Cleveland six and seven. And by the way, for those
Speaker 1: who are keen a numbers game listeners, you may recall
Speaker 1: away back in the summertime before there were season win totals,
Speaker 1: William Hill decided to put out these two props on
Speaker 1: the Browns, and I bet the Browns not to make
Speaker 1: the playoffs at plus one fifty five and over eight
Speaker 1: and a half on their season win total, with the
Speaker 1: thinking I cannot possibly lose both. The only way I
Speaker 1: could is if the Browns, say, won their division at
Speaker 1: eight and eight. So that's not gonna happen. Um, I'm
Speaker 1: still alive for both. Cleveland have to sweep the board.
Speaker 1: They do have a game against Baltimore, so that would
Speaker 1: be a long shot. But um, these are the Browns
Speaker 1: six and seven. And then Arizona. Arizona was three three
Speaker 1: and one, remember that, three three and one, and everyone's like, hey,
Speaker 1: look at the Cardinals. Cliff Kingsbury's got this thing down.
Speaker 1: They're three nine in one six game losing streak. There
Speaker 1: oh and seven this season are the Cardinals versus teams
Speaker 1: that were currently over five hundred Kyler Murray yesterday thirty
Speaker 1: one in their loss to the Steelers. Two touchdowns, three picks.
Speaker 1: He was sacked five times, three turnovers for the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: They were minus one in that department at pretty turn
Speaker 1: over field game against the Steelers. Steelers won that three
Speaker 1: to seventeen. Yesterday's two and a half point closing favorites
Speaker 1: here at the South Point Hotel Casino courtesy of Deonte Johnson.
Speaker 1: Punt returned biggest player that game. Uh here, I'll say Cleveland.
Speaker 1: I'm splitting the difference between the three and zero Cleveland
Speaker 1: minus one and a half on the road at Arizona.
Speaker 1: I really hate this game. It's two and a half. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's when I'm gonna open it. You know, I'm kind
Speaker 1: of knocked the Kyler Murray thing, and like I said,
Speaker 1: the guys, including you, I think, uh, I'm kind of
Speaker 1: a knuckle draggor and behind the time for the new NFL.
Speaker 1: You know, I just think, you know, I said, he's
Speaker 1: just too little. I mean, the number two in yards
Speaker 1: lost via this sack its QBR is not bad. It's
Speaker 1: the number fifteen pasturating number twenty one. But I think
Speaker 1: they're just figuring him out a little bit, and I said, guys,
Speaker 1: compare him to Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson is a strong man.
Speaker 1: He's kind of short, but he's a strong man. I
Speaker 1: don't think Carlin Murray's ever would be the quarterback. Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson is. By the way, you talk about QBR a
Speaker 1: lot looking at the Mayfields QB fifty two point seven, like,
Speaker 1: where the hell did they get at? Sometimes I just
Speaker 1: got to scratch my head because he was awful. Yesterday
Speaker 1: they won and the game fell on the number pretty
Speaker 1: much by the way that I think there's five games
Speaker 1: or the point spread mattered this one. This one fell
Speaker 1: right on the number, as did the I think it
Speaker 1: was the Red Skin game. No, the Detroit game right
Speaker 1: on that number. So that was a battery up for it.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, and one little thing I think I made
Speaker 1: it last week on the show. I know a guy
Speaker 1: that was a guy and the word that I heard
Speaker 1: is that the upper management for the New York Giants
Speaker 1: in the locker room and the coaches. But upper management
Speaker 1: was very happy to get rid of O'Dell Backham. They
Speaker 1: were dairy happy about that. Um Anyway, all that being said,
Speaker 1: we're talking too much about this game. I'm gonna open
Speaker 1: two and a half, and I think it's be a
Speaker 1: horrible game. Yeah. The two games where the spread didn't
Speaker 1: matter yesterday, Chris, if I'm not mistaken, Washington Green Bay,
Speaker 1: excuse me, we're the spread mattered. Pardon me? Um, Washington
Speaker 1: Green Bay and Miami and the Jets. I think those
Speaker 1: are the only two where it mattered yesterday. No, I
Speaker 1: got five? Do you really? I got five? Cincinnati, Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: the Miami game. I thought Cleveland cover the Colts game.
Speaker 1: So that depends on where you better. We opened the
Speaker 1: game eight and a half where you open it? Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at closing numbers. Okay, Yeah, well no, I'm
Speaker 1: awaking at closing numbers, and I'm a bookmaker. We had
Speaker 1: actually a whole week, you know, the Tampa Bay game.
Speaker 1: We're back and forth between three and three and a half,
Speaker 1: So that one hurt us. Um, yeah, I got and
Speaker 1: then yeah, okay, I got. I got five games over
Speaker 1: together to Cincinnati, uh, Miami, the Colts? Where am I?
Speaker 1: All right? Well that's all right, but what I'm we
Speaker 1: do it here because otherwise we'll be over place, all right? Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: so you're opening that Cleveland, the green Bay game and
Speaker 1: the Tory games, the green Bay game and the game.
Speaker 1: So that's fine, Yeah, that's fine. Cleveland, Arizona. Where did
Speaker 1: you open? Where did you? Where you opening that again?
Speaker 1: Two and a half? Okay, two and a half on
Speaker 1: that one. All right, we'll come back. We'll do some
Speaker 1: more of these. Are we in the afternoon game yet, Chris?
Speaker 1: Or not yet? All that was the first afternoon Cleveland, Arizona,
Speaker 1: first afternoon game this coming week in the NFL. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry Oakland, Oakland as well. All right, So all right,
Speaker 1: we'll continue with the afternoon games, we'll close out the
Speaker 1: afternoon games. We'll gause at the prime time as well.

Speaker 1: with Chris Andrews exclusively right here on a numbers game
Speaker 1: at Visa the Sports Betting Network. Welcome back to a
Speaker 1: numbers game with Jill Alexander. Apparently there was another penalty
Speaker 1: that was not assessed correctly in that Chiefs Patriots game.
Speaker 1: So we talked about the three Patriots ones. Mahomes was
Speaker 1: killed out of bounds. Um, there was another penalty on
Speaker 1: Casey that was counted off as only five yards should
Speaker 1: have been a ten yard penalty. That's another one in there.
Speaker 1: It's just a just a horrible day there in Foxboro
Speaker 1: and and really around the league. The biggest theme perhaps
Speaker 1: of the National Football League season. Never good when that's
Speaker 1: the theme. Um, we're getting to a game, though, I
Speaker 1: know we haven't gotten to it yet, Chris, what's next?
Speaker 1: Atlanta at San Francisco, Atlanta at San Francisco. Well, we've
Speaker 1: gotten to it because we get to talk about the Niners.
Speaker 1: First of all, Atlanta beats Carolina. We already talked about that.
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan twenty thirty four for three thirteen, two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: no picks, uh sacked once. Atlanta put up four hundred
Speaker 1: sixty one total yards of offense. They were plus four
Speaker 1: in turnovers they had none, Carolina had four. And I
Speaker 1: said before that Atlanta Carolina game, I asked a question
Speaker 1: on the megapod at the end. One of the questions
Speaker 1: I always ask if you wanted if you had to
Speaker 1: bet aside in every single one of these games yesterday,
Speaker 1: but had one free pass, what game would it be?
Speaker 1: And both Mike Palum and I answered Atlanta and Carolina
Speaker 1: because and I said, if Carolina wins by seventeen, I
Speaker 1: won't be surprised. And the Falcons win by seventeen, I
Speaker 1: won't be surprised Falcons win by twenty um. So again,
Speaker 1: how you predict the Falcons from week to week? I
Speaker 1: have no idea As far as the Niners. The Niners
Speaker 1: are now eleven and two after a just absolutely stirring
Speaker 1: victory over the New Orleans Saints yesterday forty eight to
Speaker 1: forty six, a game that was decided finally when the
Speaker 1: Niners were down forty five. They had a fourth and
Speaker 1: two to decide it for all the marbles, and George
Speaker 1: Kittle is single covered and Garoppolo finds him. Kittles getting
Speaker 1: his face mask tugged at all the way down field,
Speaker 1: puts the Niners in field goal position, and Robbie Gould
Speaker 1: seals the deal. Niners forty eight, Saints forty six. And
Speaker 1: what was a tour to force of offensive play calls
Speaker 1: by both Kyle s at a hand. And Sean Payton
Speaker 1: just a joy to watch. If you like points, if
Speaker 1: you like defensive football, maybe a different story. Uh. Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garoppolo yesterday thirty five for three forty nine, four touchdowns,
Speaker 1: one pick. He was sacked three times. Uh. He also
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter specifically eleven for seventeen for one
Speaker 1: oh three and that and and a touchdown. So in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter when the Chips were down, as they say,
Speaker 1: Jimmy g got it done yesterday. And Emmanuel Sanders, by
Speaker 1: the way, what a pick up from John Lynch mid
Speaker 1: season seven catches for one touchdown, also through a touchdown
Speaker 1: pass to most diret yesterday to right he most dired,
Speaker 1: thirty five yard touchdown pass. Uh. There was fullback options
Speaker 1: in that game. I mean there was all kinds of
Speaker 1: things going on. Total yards San Francisco five sixteen, New
Speaker 1: Orleans four sixty five. Uh, Niners did have ten penalties
Speaker 1: for sixty seven yards. But just a great football game,
Speaker 1: sort of the equivalent of that Rams Chiefs. That was
Speaker 1: the version of the Rams Chiefs game from last year,
Speaker 1: best camp I can think of. So San Francisco's number
Speaker 1: one now in the NFC. They're in the number one
Speaker 1: position in the National Football Conference playoff race. But of
Speaker 1: course they do have a game with Seattle coming up
Speaker 1: final week of the season, so they might not even
Speaker 1: win their division. Still, but as far as this game
Speaker 1: is concerned, hosting the Atlanta Falcons, I'll say San Francisco
Speaker 1: minus ten and a half. Yeah, you're right, Gil, it's
Speaker 1: ten and a half and eleven. I might the ten
Speaker 1: and a half better. Uh, you know, it's just by Atlanta,
Speaker 1: and this is I was going to some radio shows
Speaker 1: somewhere and if you have a sleeper for the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: I said, yeah, Atlanta, they're so sleepy, They're so yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know which super Bowl I was talking about,
Speaker 1: but certainly not this ship. But they have little talent,
Speaker 1: and you and my mom didn't want to bet that game.
Speaker 1: I wish everybody wouldn't listen to you because everybody had Atlantic.
Speaker 1: We got crushed on that game. Terrible game for US. Um.
Speaker 1: But that being said, you know, um, you know the
Speaker 1: game against New Orleans, just say, I think really was terrific.
Speaker 1: But I think the public very well could be on
Speaker 1: San Francisco this week. I just like Catton app a
Speaker 1: little better. I think this game is gonna be a
Speaker 1: little tighter than that blowout and getting ten and a
Speaker 1: half on a team that can score like Atlanta's just
Speaker 1: a little too much plays at ten a half and eleven.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna open with a lower number that
Speaker 1: they might bet me up, they might not. We'll see,
Speaker 1: but again, and I'm not gonna put a slash mark
Speaker 1: nix Atlanta for me, but I kind of like them
Speaker 1: a little bit in this spot. I just think that
Speaker 1: points where it's a little bit too generals right here. Well,
Speaker 1: by the way that George shi will play has to
Speaker 1: be my favorite play of the year that you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know I'm older than you know of
Speaker 1: our listeners out there. That's the way I remember of football,
Speaker 1: and that's the way football, to me should be played.
Speaker 1: And I think that was a great example of how
Speaker 1: football should be played. The worst example of how football
Speaker 1: should be played was the past interference call at the
Speaker 1: end of the Jets Miami game. Was ridiculous anyway, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm backtracking, but George kitt On that play was great,
Speaker 1: great football and to see more of that, Yeah, Al
Speaker 1: Michael's called it the best play of the year too. Yesterday.
Speaker 1: He uh, he felt the same way about that. It
Speaker 1: was it was awesome. I mean, just his face mask
Speaker 1: getting tugged. You're right, it is harkens back to Satis
Speaker 1: football for sure. Alright, what's next? I like that? So
Speaker 1: how many afternoon games we have? Jeff? This week? Five? Again?
Speaker 1: Great split? This week eight ten am Pacific five one
Speaker 1: o'clock Pacific games. Finally a real split? I like it.
Speaker 1: Didn't we have that yesterday too? Though? What you did
Speaker 1: with nine and four? Nine? Four? Okay? All right, um,
Speaker 1: all right, what do we got here? Rams at the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: Rams at the Cowboys. Rams with that win over the
Speaker 1: Seahawks last twenty eight to twelve, uh and beat him
Speaker 1: good too, like to twelve as one point favorites. It's
Speaker 1: like the Rams decided to show up again. It's the
Speaker 1: weirdest thing this, you know, We're I was talking last
Speaker 1: week briefly about like weird stories during the Visa years,
Speaker 1: the three years of Visa that haven't been really fleshed
Speaker 1: out enough, And one of them was, remember a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago, Andrew lux injury was like really far
Speaker 1: into the off season, got to mid August, and everybody
Speaker 1: was like, wait, a minute, we need to talk about
Speaker 1: Andrew and he never ended up playing. Uh. Then there
Speaker 1: was Kauai only playing nine games for the Spurs. Uh this,
Speaker 1: you know, I was really I brought this up because
Speaker 1: I and Williamson's injury is very peculiar to me, Like,
Speaker 1: no one's really talking, but you know, the biggest one
Speaker 1: still is and I don't and I feel like we
Speaker 1: don't still have the proper explanation. What was the Todd
Speaker 1: Gurley thing? Like how why did he disappear? I get
Speaker 1: there's arthritic me right, but he like disappeared and then
Speaker 1: he was kind of playing kind of not and Sean
Speaker 1: McVeigh famously saying, you know, meta, I'll stop being an
Speaker 1: idiot and play the guy. All don't feel like we
Speaker 1: have a full explanation of this whole thing. But they're
Speaker 1: back to girly twenty three carries for seventy nine yards
Speaker 1: and a touchdown, four catches for thirty four. Golf was
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know what Pete Carroll was thinking
Speaker 1: in the first half of that game last night, but
Speaker 1: they never pressured Golf. They sent three guys every time,
Speaker 1: so Golf picked him apart twenty two of thirty one
Speaker 1: for two nine three two touchdowns, two picks, no sacks,
Speaker 1: and Robert Woods just keeps filling up a stat sheet
Speaker 1: seven for ninety to touchdown Higby seven for seven for
Speaker 1: one sixteen. The Rams were seven of thirteen on third
Speaker 1: downs four hundred fifty five totally yards of offense, and
Speaker 1: the Rams are eight and five. The Rams are one
Speaker 1: game behind the Vikings for the sixth and final playoff
Speaker 1: spot in the NFC right at this moment. And then
Speaker 1: there's the Cowboys. The Cowboys right now are six and seven,
Speaker 1: and they are the leader in the NFC East. By
Speaker 1: the way, even if the Eagles win tonight, the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: who beat the Eagles earlier this year, technically still number one,
Speaker 1: but obviously they'll be in a mano a mano at
Speaker 1: that point with the Eagles when the two teams play
Speaker 1: each other still to come this season, so this is
Speaker 1: tough to make. It's at Dallas. The Rams are looking good.
Speaker 1: The Cowboys have never looked worse. I don't think the
Speaker 1: Cowboys should be three point favorites. I'll say it's two
Speaker 1: and a half. Uh, it's mostly two, which I think
Speaker 1: that's uh. People, I see a two and a half.
Speaker 1: I see a two and a half with juice on
Speaker 1: the dog. I think two is okay, That's what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna open it. Uh did have a three story before
Speaker 1: the Rams game, and uh you know, I think I
Speaker 1: don't know where they came up with that one, but
Speaker 1: that that isn't that they had it. And uh you know,
Speaker 1: I think that got gold what up pretty quickly because
Speaker 1: even guys at the time they're saying, I go, Dallas
Speaker 1: be three and then the Rams, you know, looked really
Speaker 1: really good. I'm trying to find this one stat here.
Speaker 1: Um you have the Cowboys. Okay, they're six and seven,
Speaker 1: they're point differential, they're plus sixty seven. I mean that
Speaker 1: that's a crazy number. Me well, and that's part of
Speaker 1: the reason to me. I talked to Aaron Shots about
Speaker 1: it last week from Football Outsiders when he was on
Speaker 1: with us on the numbers team, and basically his numbers corroborate, like,
Speaker 1: you know, I bet the Cowboys against the Bears on
Speaker 1: Thursday night and you feel really stupid, but all of
Speaker 1: the numbers indicate that it's probably not a bad ball,
Speaker 1: but the Cowboys just don't get it done well. I
Speaker 1: think I mentioned on the this show, like maybe last
Speaker 1: year the year before. One of the things I thought
Speaker 1: about Jason Garrett is he's the kind of guy, you know, offensively,
Speaker 1: he has a bunch of plays that will gain a
Speaker 1: lot of yards, but he doesn't understand how to win
Speaker 1: a football game, you know, and it's you know that
Speaker 1: that probably works like in college, you know, you just
Speaker 1: go out there and y'all score the other guy. But
Speaker 1: the pros is just a different games, a lot of
Speaker 1: field position and there's a little more strategy involved in
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. And you know that. I know,
Speaker 1: keep Ernie is a Princeton graduate and I'm sure, I'm
Speaker 1: sure as i que as much higher than mine, but
Speaker 1: it hasn't it out how to win football game, even
Speaker 1: though he has, you know, good players in the game
Speaker 1: yards and score points and all that. He got one
Speaker 1: football games and he's only won six, and he's lots
Speaker 1: seven this year, and uh, you know that's I think
Speaker 1: the Rams right now are really I think they've kind
Speaker 1: of figured it out, I think, uh and I kind
Speaker 1: of like them in this point. I only getting two points,
Speaker 1: but I kind of like them. I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: look into this one a little more closely. But right now,
Speaker 1: and I'm leaning towards your ramps. I think that uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Gurley means a lot, and he played a
Speaker 1: lot yesterday. But you're right the story on Girly, I
Speaker 1: don't think we ever got an adequate explanation as to
Speaker 1: what happened. They paid this kid of fortune and they're
Speaker 1: they're using them now and it looks pretty good like
Speaker 1: we've always thought he would be. Yeah, he doesn't look
Speaker 1: that arthritic right about now. Um, you know, and the
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett thing is is fascinating, especially when juxtaposed against
Speaker 1: every time you see Bill Belichick coach. And what about
Speaker 1: that game that we have most recent in the Marie
Speaker 1: San Francisco, New Orleans yesterday, right like it was a
Speaker 1: play calling I said to tour to force earlier, but
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it was. It was like I will
Speaker 1: outdo you now, now watch what I can do? You
Speaker 1: ever see that from the Cowboys? And Kellen Moore looks
Speaker 1: like he just graduated high school too, so you can't
Speaker 1: really expect it, right, he hasn't. He don't have the experience,
Speaker 1: but you're just looking at a different level of football,
Speaker 1: and yet the Cowboys will be or the or the Eagles.
Speaker 1: Whoever wins the NFC East will have a home playoff game.
Speaker 1: And and and as I predicted last week, now everybody's
Speaker 1: clamoring about realignment and the best team should get in.
Speaker 1: I go. But it's it's like we do this every
Speaker 1: year whenever this comes up. Any year this comes up
Speaker 1: where division winner is bad, we always go to this.
Speaker 1: But look their rivalries. The NFL has history. You can't
Speaker 1: not have these divisions. It would kill so much of
Speaker 1: what makes the game great. I know we talked about
Speaker 1: rivalries in college football, but you couldn't make it. You couldn't.
Speaker 1: I mean, I suppose you could. Once the playoffs start,
Speaker 1: you could still have the divisions and then just decide
Speaker 1: winning a division doesn't mean anything. But that's in that's
Speaker 1: in gung gruent, right, that you can't do it that way.
Speaker 1: It doesn't make any sense. So you know, that's another
Speaker 1: sort of kneed. Youre the same people are saying, oh,
Speaker 1: we should always have a four team playoff in college football.
Speaker 1: I just don't believe in that hot take. It's just
Speaker 1: it's you need these kind of rivalries, and you need
Speaker 1: this alignment. And if you're if that's the case, and
Speaker 1: you then therefore want to keep these divisions. You can't
Speaker 1: then make the divisions mean nothing. So I know people
Speaker 1: will argue about that, but that's how it falls this year.
Speaker 1: That's how the cookie crumbles. And by the way, uh,
Speaker 1: if Dallas is bad or as Philadelphia as bad as
Speaker 1: we think they are, whoever is the three loss NFC
Speaker 1: West team or four loss NFC West team that's gonna
Speaker 1: come in there will beat him pretty good anyway. Um,
Speaker 1: but I get it. It's a home game. People are
Speaker 1: upset about that, but that's how it is. Let's do
Speaker 1: one more. Let's do the last afternoon game. By the way,
Speaker 1: I'm with you on both counts. They go yours, thank you,
Speaker 1: all right, minister, Minnesota at the Chargers, the Chargers winning
Speaker 1: when no one's looking, dominating when no one's looking, and
Speaker 1: Minnesota very you know quietly again they that's been the
Speaker 1: thing with Minnesota when they've had inferior competition, particularly at home,
Speaker 1: they just basically run a very efficient football game. They
Speaker 1: don't ask Kirk Cousins to do much. And they rolled
Speaker 1: the Lions yesterday to seven, and do so closing line,
Speaker 1: they beat the closing number. But as you said, it fluctuated,
Speaker 1: landed right on it for many Minnesota six and oh
Speaker 1: at home for the first time since two thousand nine.
Speaker 1: Cousins now with nine wins with the Vikings this year.
Speaker 1: He had nine wins with the Skins in twenty so
Speaker 1: that's a high mark for him, and of course he
Speaker 1: has chance to exceed it now. He was twenty four
Speaker 1: of thirty yesterday for two forty two, one touchdown note picks.
Speaker 1: He was sacked once. And all those Chargers fans who
Speaker 1: were hoping for things, uh, they were eliminated from playoff
Speaker 1: contention yesterday despite the win over the Jaguars. First eight
Speaker 1: drives for the Chargers yesterday six touchdowns in one field goal.
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Oh and by the way, the Chargers were
Speaker 1: every loss has been by seven points or fewer this year.
Speaker 1: They're the only NFL team to hold every opponent this
Speaker 1: season to twenty seven points or fewer. It's just the weirdest,
Speaker 1: quirkiest season. And they're five and eight. Philip rivers sixty
Speaker 1: three four three touchdowns note picks, He was sacked ones.
Speaker 1: Tyrod even got in there three for five for twenty
Speaker 1: twenty six, and he threw a touchdown. Austin Ekeler was
Speaker 1: huge yesterday, eight for one oh one on the ground,
Speaker 1: four for one twelve in terms of receptions and yardage
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Charges were six of eight on third
Speaker 1: down and another gaudy total yardage stat yesterday in the NFL,
Speaker 1: the exact opposite of last week, five twenty five for
Speaker 1: the Chargers against two fifty two for the no accounts
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars um Minnesota by three on the road at
Speaker 1: the Chargers. That's my guess. Two and a half and three,
Speaker 1: but three you with juice on the dogs. I'm opening three.
Speaker 1: A couple of things here, you know. And then Chargers
Speaker 1: are known the finish with a flurry once they're eliminated,
Speaker 1: and I understand that, so that scares me a little bit.
Speaker 1: But I was on the radio, I think was NBC
Speaker 1: Sports Line and they after about the Chargers, and you know,
Speaker 1: the Chargers just do chargery things, and yesterday was the
Speaker 1: Chargers doing chargery things. They blew out this team, like
Speaker 1: you said, when nobody's watching. So I'm not gonna get
Speaker 1: deceived by that, you know, I still think, you know,
Speaker 1: we talked about Dallas can't figure out how to win games. Well,
Speaker 1: echo the same thing here with its Margers. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: they just can't win games. I'm gonna open to me.
Speaker 1: I'm sure the one guys will probably come in and
Speaker 1: take it off me. And if I need Minnesota on Sunday,
Speaker 1: that's gonna be fine with me. I think the public
Speaker 1: will be on Minnesota unless they get deceived by that
Speaker 1: Chargers score yesterday to which name might And like I said,
Speaker 1: I know the Chargers finished with a flurry when there's
Speaker 1: nothing to play for. But there's no home field advantage
Speaker 1: either for the Chargers. Now, it's not like Pittsburgh that
Speaker 1: has uh, you know, fans all over the country, but
Speaker 1: I'm sure it will be a few Minnesota fans there.
Speaker 1: And regardless, there's just no home field to manage the Chargers.
Speaker 1: I'm an open three and the probably like Minnesota, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a little careful with that one. But
Speaker 1: you know, I'm definitely open three here, all right, Chrissy
Speaker 1: standby at Andrew's Sports. By the way, if you want
Speaker 1: to follow Chris on Twitter, we at the primetime game

Speaker 1: I appreciate your logical consistency more and more every day.
Speaker 1: That hot take armchair quarterback whining hypocrisy is really starting
Speaker 1: to wear on me. Keep up the good work. Thank you, John,
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. That's all I have to say
Speaker 1: about that parlay we did primetime? Is that what we're
Speaker 1: doing now? Oh? Nothing like primetime in Pittsburgh with the
Speaker 1: Bills involved for the first time since oh seven, Chrissy,
Speaker 1: what's the game here? Is Pittsburgh? What is that? Now?
Speaker 1: It's your team Buffalo at Pittsburgh. Is that what you said?
Speaker 1: Buffalo ASTs? Yeah? Buffalo? Okay, So now I have to
Speaker 1: do the same have the same caveat that I do
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins games. Right, I have to give the
Speaker 1: line that I think it should be and the line
Speaker 1: that I think it will be. Because I consistently uh
Speaker 1: am right about the Dolphins. I overestimate the Dolphins versus
Speaker 1: the market. That has worked out to my benefit. And
Speaker 1: then it's the opposite with the Steelers, who keep proving
Speaker 1: me wrong by the way, Josh Allen yesterday and defeat
Speaker 1: against the Ravens just to be thorough seventeen of thirty
Speaker 1: nine for one six one touchdowns, no picks. That Ravens
Speaker 1: sacked him six times. That's a season high. In terms
Speaker 1: of the Bills allowing sacks, six is a season high.
Speaker 1: They allowed just four sacks excuse me, just four sacks
Speaker 1: total in the four previous games. And then there's your Steelers, Chrissy. Uh.
Speaker 1: They've won seven of eights and starting one and four,
Speaker 1: eight plus wins. We talked about Andy Reid and his
Speaker 1: tenure in Kansas City, Well how about Mike Tomlin. Thirteen
Speaker 1: seasons in Pittsburgh under Mike Tomlin, eight plus wins in
Speaker 1: all of them. That's pretty impressive for people who like
Speaker 1: to take shots at Martombla. Of course, this is his
Speaker 1: finest work because he don't have Big Ben did they?
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown didn't have Levian Belle's on his third string quarterback.
Speaker 1: And speaking on that third string quarterback, Duck Hodges is
Speaker 1: now three and oh Duck Hodges three and the first
Speaker 1: undrafted rookie quarterback since the merger to win first three
Speaker 1: his first three NFL starts. Jeff, can you name the other?
Speaker 1: I'll give you ten billion guesses, no chance, Ed Rubert
Speaker 1: do you know who that is? Yeah? He is that.
Speaker 1: He was the starting quarterback for the scab Washington Redskins
Speaker 1: of nineteen hundred and eighties seven. Joe Jack Joseph Jackson
Speaker 1: Gibbs finest work. Movies were made about them trivia for
Speaker 1: the day. Duck Hodges yesterday sixteen of nineteen for one
Speaker 1: fifty two, one touchdown note picks. He was sacked three
Speaker 1: times in Deonte Johnson punt returned for a touchdown. Also
Speaker 1: caught six catches six balls rather for sixty yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Pittsburgh keeps doing this, Chris with like a
Speaker 1: one big pass the James Washington the next game. One
Speaker 1: big pass James Washington yesterday was the punt return. I
Speaker 1: don't think like as great as this job is from
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. They're eight and five are the Steelers right now?
Speaker 1: They're in the number six position in the A f
Speaker 1: C while old card race, like they'd be in right
Speaker 1: now even though they're tied with both the Titans and
Speaker 1: the Texans and record, but they'd have the number two
Speaker 1: wild card right now if we're to start here. Problem is, Chris,
Speaker 1: and I don't mean to offend you. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's any good So getting back to the thing where
Speaker 1: I've got my line and when I think the line's
Speaker 1: gonna be with Pittsburgh in Miami for this one at
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers game, I would say for me it should
Speaker 1: be Buffalo minus three on the road, but I'm guessing
Speaker 1: it's closer to a pick them. You're way off. It's Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: I see anywhere from one and a half to two
Speaker 1: and a half. I like to That's what I'm gonna
Speaker 1: open this. Give me the bill, Gil Gil. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not just their defense involved too. There's two sides
Speaker 1: to a football. I have been told will throw in
Speaker 1: a third thing, special team, you know. And uh, regardless
Speaker 1: of that horrible fake punk call yesterday, Steelers special teams
Speaker 1: are pretty good comic. Yeah, that was pretty bent um.
Speaker 1: But listen, this is a really tough home team. And uh,
Speaker 1: I think you know, I said it on your show
Speaker 1: and it happened. I was a hundred percent in favor,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a patch of trade. A lot
Speaker 1: of guys said, well, the Steers should tank, you know,
Speaker 1: because they had a great draft. W It's like, who
Speaker 1: are gonna get to who's always hurt? They weren't gonna
Speaker 1: be as bad as the Bengals, so they're not gonna
Speaker 1: get borrow. So you're getting the you know, Herbert Oregon,
Speaker 1: A lot of people have downgraded, you know, and that's
Speaker 1: ridiculous and that's not the way the Steelers play. And
Speaker 1: you know, you're acting like Buffalo some great team. They
Speaker 1: haven't beating anybody that it's any good all year. I've
Speaker 1: been on Buffalo, and I was on him yesterday. That
Speaker 1: was not acting like that. We're going, well, I was
Speaker 1: not Buffalo yesterday, I really And you know what, even
Speaker 1: as poorly as Josh Allen was yesterday, they still then
Speaker 1: just win. Let along color. You know, they only lost
Speaker 1: by seven. We didn't quote the numbers six and a half. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's still that's very and Then is a tough, tough
Speaker 1: home team and a tough team in general. And their
Speaker 1: defense is really really strong. I'm looking at the total
Speaker 1: years thirty seven. Uh, and you know that's probably about
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a very very low scoring game, hard hitting,
Speaker 1: and we talked about the way football used to be.
Speaker 1: This will be a good old fashioned slug fest. And uh,
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people like the New Orleans
Speaker 1: San Francisco game that which I thought was a great game,
Speaker 1: one of the best games of the year, maybe the
Speaker 1: best game. But this will be a great game too,
Speaker 1: but in a totally different vein. But I'm gonna open too.
Speaker 1: I like to um. You know, the more I thought,
Speaker 1: But I thought about one as an opening number. But
Speaker 1: more I thought about it, I thought two was a
Speaker 1: little better, and I see it even higher then in
Speaker 1: two is okay? All right? Monday night? Real quick, Chris,
Speaker 1: before we got a break. Uh, we have Indianapolis at Moreland, alright,
Speaker 1: Colts lost, as we mentioned to the Bucks there six
Speaker 1: and seven now or the Colts they're too out in
Speaker 1: the FC South, their season might Dunzo. New Orleans loses
Speaker 1: that game to the Niners their ten and three. They've
Speaker 1: already clinched the the NFC South, but obviously seating and
Speaker 1: their chance to get a first round by now in jeopardy,
Speaker 1: I'll say it's the Saints by eight and a half
Speaker 1: because I figure if this is the Colts at home,
Speaker 1: that the Saints would be two and a half road
Speaker 1: point road favorites. I'll say eight and a half at home. Well,
Speaker 1: you're dead on, it's pretty solid. Eight and a half.
Speaker 1: Different numbers of some juice one way or the other,
Speaker 1: but eight and alf I have no beef at all
Speaker 1: of that number. I think nine might be a shade high.
Speaker 1: You know, seven operate a shade low. So eight and half.
Speaker 1: I think the place to start. Okay, um, let's go
Speaker 1: to that. I got three that I definitely like. Weill
Speaker 1: recap it all next right here, guessing lines with Chris
Speaker 1: Andrew's south Point Sports Book. Uh Casino sports Book Director
Speaker 1: that is, we'll do it right here on Vasa, the
Speaker 1: Sports Betting Network. Coming back, Welcome back to a numbers

Speaker 1: got three that I like above everything. I like the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: Uh for sure, you're telling me that it's what three
Speaker 1: and a hook even with at the Giants. Come on, Oakland,
Speaker 1: I think you should be seven against Jacksonville. It's a
Speaker 1: little tick of a tick less than that. And then
Speaker 1: I like Buffalo against your Steelers. I'm sorry, I like Buffalo.
Speaker 1: Those are my three? What do you like? I like
Speaker 1: the Jets getting fourteen and a half and the Ravens,
Speaker 1: and I like Oakland to minus. You find a lot
Speaker 1: of sixes. You might even stumble into five and a half,
Speaker 1: but I'm an open six and a half. I think
Speaker 1: it should be. I think they old Jacksonville. I only
Speaker 1: like two right now. I gotta look at a few more.
Speaker 1: But way, let me just stay for the record. I
Speaker 1: hate that I like Oakland. I hate that I like him,
Speaker 1: but Jacksonville makes it happen that way. Parley, did you
Speaker 1: what do you like here? Parley? The Miami Dolphins and
Speaker 1: only the Miami Dolphins this week telling me. You're telling
Speaker 1: me you can get a whole field goal when they yesterday,
Speaker 1: if they score one touchdown, they win the game easily.
Speaker 1: I'm not only telling you can get a field goal.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you can get a field on a hook someplace,
Speaker 1: and then then even better Gil Yeah, most places. Yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: So a couple of us on Oakland, couple of us
Speaker 1: on Miami. I like Miami, Oakland and Buffalo coming off
Speaker 1: a four oh and one? Can I put together back
Speaker 1: to backs? I don't know about that. It's the NFL, Kristen,
Speaker 1: We do do we do this week seventeen? What did
Speaker 1: we decide? I know we're doing it next week for
Speaker 1: week sixteen? But do we usually? I don't know. All right, well,
Speaker 1: we'll have to. I don't think we've gone week seventeen.
Speaker 1: It's just too crazy crazy, it's nuts. We get to
Speaker 1: talk about it. I guess, okay, we go over there,
Speaker 1: let's talk about it, Mike Mike Worth doing gets in
Speaker 1: a sense of, you know, kind of going over some
Speaker 1: playoffs scenarios. That's week Yeah, we'll see. It's it's the
Speaker 1: week of court. Well, they kind of legislated correlated parlays out,
Speaker 1: so we'll see. We'll do that week seventeen. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about it. Christie, thank you, Jeff, thank you, Lows, thank you,
