1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: The Action Network Podcast. 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 2: I'm just about that action, all right. 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 3: Here we go from the test throwing out so spec 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 3: so're sitting. It's a cash touchtop. 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 2: We'll see most gamble is when they go to gamble, 6 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 2: they go to winning. 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 3: That's incredible. Being bank small banks, I like to make money. 8 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: All right, This is the ultimate combine if you want 9 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: to back, and we are underway. 10 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Action Network Podcast presented by DraftKings. I 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 2: am your host, Evan Abrams, and I'm joined as always 12 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: by the great Brandon Anderson for some best bets for 13 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 2: NFL Week six. We will get to those bets shortly, 14 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 2: and of course Brandon's commentary on my notes and trends 15 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: here coming up. But let's let's get into a few 16 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 2: things heading into the week that I thought, you know, 17 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: might be a nice table setter. So underdogs nine and 18 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 2: five straight up and against the spread last week. Dogs 19 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: had not gone nine and five straight up or better 20 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 2: in a single week since twenty seventeen, the last time 21 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 2: we saw three hunderdogs of over a touchdown win outright, 22 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: which of course happened last week. In the chaos, favorites 23 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 2: actually went ten to five and one ats the next week, 24 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 2: so we will see how that goes in terms of 25 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 2: the bounce back, because it had gone one way then 26 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 2: we flipped, so we will see there now. The other one, 27 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: I thought that was kind of interesting because I thought 28 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: it gives the league a bit of a balance beam, 29 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 2: which is, through five weeks, the NFC is eighteen and 30 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 2: nine against the spread in its twenty seven games. When 31 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: facing the AFC, the NFC is five hundred ats or 32 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 2: better in all five weeks of the season so far, 33 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: and that eighteen and nine ATS mark is the second 34 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: best for either conference through five weeks. In the wildcard era, 35 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 2: we actually have six matchups in that area this week, 36 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: So I thought it was a little interesting. I know, 37 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: the quarterback topic, a bunch of different reasons or excuses 38 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: why Brandon. Either of those kind of hit you. 39 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, the NFC one is interesting. It's not something that 40 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: I would typically notice or pay attention to, but it 41 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: kind of checks out with even back before the season, 42 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: where it's like, okay, man, I got like twelve NFC teams, 43 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: how do I pick only seven for the playoffs? And 44 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: over in the AFC, it's like I got like five, 45 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: I gotta find two more over here and the problem 46 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: even further is that we talked about like in the 47 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: different rankings are different rankings podcasts. The AFC is the quarterbacks, 48 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: the NFC has the everything else. Okay, well, what happens 49 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: when the quarterbacks get hurt? Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, what 50 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: happens when that happens? Well, we get what's happening right now. 51 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: The AFC trailing far behind, and it's just like, man, 52 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: who's going to claim these spots over there? And I 53 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: think too, maybe they'll catch up. Maybe teams like Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, 54 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: some of these teams that were overlooked. Will we start 55 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: to kind of recalibrate on them if they continue to 56 00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: do this thing. 57 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 3: I was pleased. 58 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,839 Speaker 1: I quick skim through my picks today. My top pick 59 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: on the slate this week is in fact NFC versus AFC, 60 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: and I'm on NFC side, So I was like, okay, 61 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: we got one there, And yeah, I wondered. Also the 62 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: underdog stat it makes sense. There's so many trends that 63 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: tell you after the underdog got the big win and 64 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: now everyone's high on their own stuff and the market's 65 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: high on the team. Now you go back the other way. 66 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: So it does make sense after a huge underdog week, 67 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: carnage in survivor leagues everywhere, this seems like maybe kind 68 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: of a restabilizing week, and we'll see how it goes. 69 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: By the time folks listen to this, we'll already have 70 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: kind of our first test of it Thursday night Philly 71 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: and the Giants. That's one that I had on the 72 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: look ahead. I was very confident the Eagles are getting 73 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: some injuries on the line. We'll see how that holds up, 74 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: and it's kind of our first test of Okay, big 75 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: favorite long shot matchup here. Who comes out on top 76 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: and we'll kind of set the tone for a new week. 77 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean when you take a look aheadline, you 78 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: were asking for the Eagles to come off a loss. 79 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: That would be the best scenario and kind of perfect 80 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 2: in that scenario. So you got what you wanted there. 81 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: I also feel like this is worth noting AFC North 82 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: four and eleven against the spread versus non Division this 83 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: year and the NFC North doing the same thing they've 84 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: been doing the last few years, but this number is ridiculous. 85 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: Last three years versus Non Division sixty six and thirty 86 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: nine against the spread just ridiculous numbers. All right, So 87 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 2: before we move on, don't forget to sign up for 88 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: Action Pro for real time pick alerts from experts like 89 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 2: Brandon Anderson, myself, our entire Action network team.

Now this your best bet, 102 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: all right. Brandon Seattle and Jacksonville both off very interesting performances. Nonetheless, 103 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 2: they I think both better than we thought they would 104 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 2: be at this point in the season. Even if we 105 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 2: liked Jacksonville and I'll talk to I'll talk to you 106 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: about some Sam Darnold numbers after you're done. But what 107 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: are you doing in this matchup of up and comers 108 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: let's call it? Yeah? 109 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 3: I like the Seahawks here, and you're right, this is 110 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 3: a fun one. 111 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: Like who would have thought coming into this week a 112 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: month ago this would be one of the games we'd circle, 113 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: you know, coming into a big NFL week, But it 114 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: looks like a really big and pretty fun matchup here. 115 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: I like the Seahawks. This one's moving around as we record. 116 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: Seahawks have been an underdog. They're starting to become a 117 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: favorite at some books, So I take them at the 118 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: plus one and a half. If you get a plus one, 119 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: if you need to take the money line, it's probably 120 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: going to come out in the wash there, but obviously 121 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,919 Speaker 1: shot round for the best line. So this sort of 122 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: fits really both of the trends we just talked about 123 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: at the top. 124 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 3: Here we got. 125 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: NFC versus AFC. My childhood heart still here's AFCAFC Right. 126 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: Seahawks used to be in the AFC back in the day, 127 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: but they're NFC now, So favor to the NFC as 128 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: things have gone so far, and a great spot to 129 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: buy low on a team that lost last week and 130 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: to fade the team coming off the big emotional home 131 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: win Jacksonville, Monday night, short rest after a big win. 132 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: They got the win. The Chiefs were the better team 133 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: in that game. We need to talk about it because 134 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: it's Monday and not Sunday. But the Chiefs had sixty 135 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 1: four percent success rate offensively in that game. That is 136 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: the hundredth percentile. You do not want your defense to 137 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: give up a successful play two out of every three. 138 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: That's not great. Obviously, the Jaguars won by three. They 139 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 1: needed the stumbling, bumbling Chris Berman into the end zone 140 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: touchdown at the end, but they also needed less. We 141 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: forget a pick six at the goal line that was 142 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: effectively a fourteen point swing. That's seven off the board, Chiefs, 143 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: seven on the board, Jacksonville. You need fourteen there and 144 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: you need the late score to win by three. I 145 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: think probably that means we're gonna be a little bit 146 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: overinflated on you. Seattle was my pick last week. They lost, 147 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: but their offense was incredible against Tampa Bay. They made 148 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: a few mistakes. Tampa Bay was great. Seattle's defense got 149 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of injuries and couldn't really hold up. But 150 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: I still think here in this matchup, Seattle is the 151 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: better team. I think they clearly should be the favorite. 152 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: I think by Sunday they will be at all books. 153 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: Their second in DVA so far in the season, not 154 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: surprising some of the parts. They lead in special teams, 155 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: that's usual for Seattle. The seventh defensively, that's not surprising. 156 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: Second against the run. What's shocking is number three on 157 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: offense and number one passing offense. You said you're gonna 158 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: have some stats on Sam Darnold. My guy has been 159 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: lighting it up and Jackson Smith and Jigba looks like 160 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: a true wide receiver one. And we get a bunch 161 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: of trades this week in the NFL. Kind of weird. 162 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: But I kind of think Greg Newsom, the guy that 163 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: Jacksonville just got from the Browns, is he covering JSN? 164 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: Is that what's happening here? Like we just got you 165 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: on Wednesday and now you're covering the star receiver over here. 166 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Neither defense was good last week. 167 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: Seattle's pass defense got shredded. They dropped from number two 168 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 1: in DVAA to league average, like a huge drop there, 169 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: But for all the good things Jacksonville's doing, Trevor Lawrence 170 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: in the passing game is not really it. So I 171 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: don't know that they're a built to hurt this defense there. 172 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: Ancle should be a little bit healthier. Jacksonville's defense, we 173 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 1: talked about it. They got shredded by the Chiefs. Trayvon Locker, 174 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: if he's out again, is a huge mess for them. 175 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: Their pressure rate dropped to twenty four percent last week, 176 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: down from thirty four percent on the season. I do 177 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: like Jacksonville, I just like Seattle better in this matchup. 178 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: A stat for you here. If Seattle remains an underdog 179 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: in weeks six and seven, underdogs of a touchdown or 180 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: less against elite ATS teams, so that's an eighty percent 181 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: to ninety nine percent ATS cover rate, Those underdogs are 182 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: forty one sixteen and a one ATS seventy two percent 183 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 1: cover rate, and this is if healthy a luck ranking side, 184 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: So Seattle plus one and a half or again, best 185 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: number that you can find out there. I do prefer 186 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: the one and a half or the one if you 187 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: can get it both. These coaches tend to be aggressive 188 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: and you maybe get a go for two for the 189 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: Wain or something, and a little escalator for you on 190 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: this one, not only game, but on a future. I 191 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: like Seattle to win the division five to one. In 192 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: the NFCUS, the Niners are four to one, but a 193 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: lot of injuries, Evan, You and I have talked a 194 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: lot about them. They're underdogs on the road this week. 195 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: I don't know pick for that game, but these teams, 196 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,079 Speaker 1: those two and the Rams project all about equal at 197 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: like ten ten and a half wins. Seattle at FTN 198 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: is about twenty six percent to win the division. That 199 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: would put them shorter than plus three hundred. We're getting 200 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: plus five hundred here on what looks like a top 201 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: ten offense, probably a top five defense, one's healthy, number 202 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: one special teams, top five coaching staff. Right now, I 203 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: can't even believe it. Seattle is my number four power 204 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: rated team. I don't know how we got here, but 205 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: give me Seattle against Jacksonville and give me Seattle plus 206 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: five hundred the division. 207 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not going to get any argument from me 208 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 2: not taking San Francisco to win the NFC West if 209 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 2: you've heard me in the past few months. So completely 210 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: good there. Sam Darnold stat adjusted EPA per play success rate, 211 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 2: completion percentage over expected. He is the leader in all 212 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 2: three categories through five weeks. Other than not even really 213 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 2: believing what I'm telling you, which I'm telling you it's true, 214 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: feels ridiculous, but also last two seasons, he's fourteen eight 215 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 2: and one against the spread, covering numbers, playing well, two 216 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 2: completely different teams, two really good head coaches. I think 217 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 2: is something that I look at when I look at 218 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: Minnesota and Seattle, definitely helping them along. I'm gonna I'm 219 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 2: gonna be from the sideline in this one because I 220 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 2: just feel like it's two unexpected good teams. I thought 221 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: Jacksonville would be pretty good. I didn't think Seattle would 222 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: be this good. So I feel like I have to 223 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: kind of wait and see. You didn't mention it, but 224 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: Seattle's been absolutely nails on the road, nine and one 225 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: straight up, six three and one against spread under McDonald's. 226 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: I don't really understand what's going on at home, but 227 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 2: on the road, they're ridiculous. All right, let's go to 228 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: your next one here AFC North. Everybody but the Steelers 229 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 2: has been playing pretty bad, and then the Steelers to 230 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 2: me just kind of mediocre. So Cleveland, Pittsburgh. What's the 231 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 2: what's the way here? 232 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 3: Yeah? 233 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: So Steelers was our hot read on Sunday night, minus 234 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: four and a half. I'm just rein four saying it. 235 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: I'm doubling down. I'm still Steelers here. It's minus five 236 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: and a half now at DraftKings, our sponsor. I'm just 237 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: telling you I still like it. There's been a lot 238 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: to talk about this game this week. It's pushing I 239 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: think towards six. Five is kind of joining toward the 240 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,839 Speaker 1: key numbers now. But you want to grab me four 241 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: to six if you can, So Steelers. Anything south of 242 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: six is the pick. 243 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 3: Again. 244 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: This is the single biggest schedule advantage spot on the 245 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: calendar this season, and quite frankly, maybe one of the 246 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 1: biggest schedule advantage spots I've ever seen on the NFL calendar. 247 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: The Browns are coming from London on Sunday. We just 248 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: watched them play Sunday morning. NFL teams are given the 249 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: option to take a bye week after traveling overseas. They declined, 250 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 1: So here we go from London to Pittsburgh from Detroit 251 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: before that. This is a three week road trip with 252 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: no Cleveland in between, and you got Dylan Gabriel making 253 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: his first true road start here in Pittsburgh. And on 254 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: the flip side of it, not only do you have 255 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: that negative spot for Cleveland, Pittsburgh last game was in 256 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 1: London too. It just so, I guess Dublin, but Pittsburgh 257 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: played overseas but then had a bye week. They haven't 258 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: played since that game. And for this team, an older 259 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: roster that had a bunch of injuries, a really important 260 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: early bye week for them. This is a spot that 261 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: I would have bet blind before the season. You just 262 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: can't quantify the impact of that schedule spot Pittsburgh. Look 263 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: at the injury report. Alex high Smith he's practicing again. Okay, great, 264 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: the Browns don't have tackles, so TJ. Watt getting Alex 265 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: high Smith back, that'd be a big deal. Joey Porter, 266 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 1: full practice, Jalen Wrren full practice was a late scratch 267 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: in the last game they played. Getting those guys back 268 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: and getting this defense a little more right after a 269 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: pretty rough start opening month. If we're being honest, I 270 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: think that's a big deal. At home against Dylan Gabriel, 271 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin has covered six of seven games off the 272 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: bye week, won all seven outright, and in this rivalry, 273 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: the home team dominates seven straight. Home team wins by 274 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 1: nine points a game. In the rivalry, home teams typically 275 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 1: are a good first half play after the bye week. 276 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: So that's good for Pittsburgh front foot. You're playing Pittsburgh 277 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: ball and now you got Dylan Gabriel tired on the road. 278 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: Effectively kind of a short week because you get the 279 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: international stuff as well, and now you're on the back 280 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: foot as well. Stefanski thirty four percent cover right in 281 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: division games. 282 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 3: And if you still believe. 283 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: The Aaron Rodgers trends, they all like this one. Rodgers 284 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: at home. Rodgers as a favorite, one score favorite off 285 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: of bye week. Division of favor like Rogers is good, 286 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: it turns out, so of course the trends like Aaron Rodgers. 287 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: But just a lot of stuff to like about Pittsburgh here. 288 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: I think this is a good survivor pick for this week. 289 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh is not a team that you're gonna feel great 290 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: about using much again this season. The schedule gets a 291 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: lot tougher going forward. It's a huge, huge schedule advantage spot. 292 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: So again Steelers hot read four and a hal half. 293 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: Here we are at five and a half, grab it 294 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: if you can before it gets two. 295 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 2: Six. Yeah, I really feel like it's going to be 296 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: six because I keep asking myself why isn't it higher? 297 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 2: Like why isn't the spread higher? At this point? I 298 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 2: think at least one of the answers would be the total, 299 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 2: Like how much higher can you go with a thirty 300 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: eight and a half? That was thirty seven and a half. 301 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 2: When I was handicapping this game, the thing that I 302 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 2: looked at most was Aaron Rodgers this season a full 303 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 2: tenth of a second quicker than the second shortest quarterback 304 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 2: in terms of time to throw. That man is getting 305 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 2: it out super quickly, even quicker than last year. And 306 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: I think that's really really good against a Cleveland defense 307 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 2: that they're gonna get after you. Really good from that 308 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 2: side of the ball. Offensively, Again, trying to protect Pittsburgh 309 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 2: very difficult, but I think Rogers has a really nice 310 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 2: advantage there that should help Pittsburgh. Also, you mentioned it, 311 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 2: Pittsburgh won and covered five straight off the buy since 312 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 2: twenty twenty, including this one, was the one I like 313 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: In ear season buys. Tolman has been really good as well, 314 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: so I like Pittsburgh. I'm with you all right, keep 315 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 2: going here? You were going to go speaking of London, Yes, Broncos, 316 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: this one is I mean, the trends kind of bring 317 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 2: you into one direction. But I don't really like the 318 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 2: trends in this one. I don't think it tells the 319 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 2: full story. I think it's an on the field matchup. 320 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 2: More so, what are you doing with Jets Broncos? 321 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm curious. Once I'm done with my pick, which 322 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: side do you think the trends are pointing. I think 323 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: I'm fading the trends here and I'm gonna go with 324 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: the Jets. 325 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. 326 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: Look, I've been looking for a while for a spot 327 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: to fade Denver now coming off of Philadelphia win even 328 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: better because I think they're extra inflated. But I was 329 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: looking for a spot before that, and frankly this sounds 330 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: like crazy talk. I've been looking for a spot to 331 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: invest in the Jets. I don't think the Jets, despite 332 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: being the last winless team, I don't think they are 333 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: the worst team in the league. Honestly, don't think they're 334 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: close to the worst team. 335 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 3: In the league. 336 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: So typically I'm all about back the international favorite. You know, 337 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: there are a lot of trends we know about bo Nicks. 338 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: He's basically like unbeatable as a favorite, justin fields as 339 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 1: an underdog. All the trends are popping to say, don't 340 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: do this, Brandon, don't do it. Take Denver, but seven 341 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 1: and a half, especially Jets plus seven and a half, 342 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 1: it's just too many points for me here. The Jets 343 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 1: continue to be top ten success rate offense and defense. 344 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 3: People this week. 345 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: I'm seeing in podcasts and articles Aaron Glani's failing is 346 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: not doing great so far? What the Jets are top 347 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: ten success offense and defense like, things are going pretty well, 348 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: Tanner Engstram. The offense has been creative given the talent 349 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: they have. You have one receiver and no quarterback, and 350 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: they're moving the ball. They're going on these long drives. 351 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm admittedly less enthusiastic about the defense. The worst pass 352 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: DVA defense in the league. That's not supposed to be 353 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: the case with this team, but the Broncos really only 354 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: have one good receiver, Sutton, and I think Sauce Gardner, 355 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: the one good part of the Jets pass defense can 356 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: hopefully keep him in check. Of course, the main problem 357 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: with the Jets is they're the anti Jaguars this season, right, 358 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: it's turnovers. Eight turnovers so far, not horrible, but certainly 359 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: not great. Zero turnovers forced. And if you look at 360 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: just fumbles, they have fumbled seven times. That's too many, 361 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: that's tied for the most, but they've only recovered two 362 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,239 Speaker 1: of seven. Typically, fumbles are basically fifty to fifty and 363 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: the luck evens out over time. They've recovered well under 364 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: fifty to fifty. On defense, they've forced five, they've recovered 365 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 1: zero because they have no turnovers so far. So twelve 366 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: fumbles in Jets games this season, they've recovered two. The 367 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: chance of you recovering two or less out of twelve, 368 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: if it's truly fifty to fifty, is under two percent. 369 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: That's how unlucky the Jets have been. And surprise, surprise, 370 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: I pull up the luck rankings that we do at 371 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: our site, Nick Iffin and crew. The Jets are number 372 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: thirty two with a bullet. They're by far the least 373 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: lucky team so far. It's not just the fumble stuff, 374 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: but it's a solid team. I don't tell you the 375 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: Jets are good. I'm not going to buy a Jets 376 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: playoff ticket. I just think that they're a bit underrated 377 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: because of the lux stuff. I do think too, that 378 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: they can run on Denver a little bit. Denver's linebackers 379 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: are not great right now. I think the second level 380 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: is beatable, and the Jets have shown they can do 381 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: some of these eight ten, twelve play drives and kind 382 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: of grind out the football, you know, another delightful Sunday 383 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: morning of just these long three yards four yards, four 384 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: yards type drives. 385 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 3: I don't really know that bo Nicks. 386 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: The way he's playing right now, it can punish this 387 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: Jets pass defense, even if it's pretty beatable. 388 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 3: So I'm just going with the Jets. 389 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 2: Here. 390 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: One trend that does go in my favor winless teams 391 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: from week four forward against not undefeated winning teams sixty 392 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: six forty three ats, so sixty two percent cover right there. Basically, 393 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: what that trend tells you is what you'd think by 394 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: the time we get a month into the season. If 395 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: you're owing something, you're of course going to be have 396 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: some value because nobody wants to back that team. Seven 397 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: and a half is the key here. I want the 398 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: seven and a half. I don't mind the seven, but 399 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: I want the hook. I would only make Denver on 400 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: a neutral this much of a favorite against two teams 401 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: and neither of them is the Jets, And let's be 402 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: a hero. Let's have some fun on Sunday morning. How 403 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: about a nibble on the money line plus three twenty 404 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: take us home Jets justin Fielis, go do the thing. 405 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 3: He's pretty good against man coverage, so might workout. 406 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. I would say the winless trend would probably be 407 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 2: the one you would point to when you talk about 408 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 2: the Jets, like, it's got to happen at some point. Also, 409 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,400 Speaker 2: the fact their defense has enforced a turnover all year, 410 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 2: something's got to give at that point. I'll also say this, 411 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 2: Jets averaging nineteen points per game at oh to five. 412 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 2: I mean, just looking at this season, teams to score 413 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: nineteen plus are winning sixty four percent of games like that, 414 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 2: that seems ridiculous. And then I'll give you one more. 415 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 2: Jets have scored one hundred and twelve points on offense 416 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 2: and are zero to five. Only the twenty twenty Falcons 417 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 2: have scored more points with no wins through five weeks. 418 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 2: So again, don't look up the twenty twenty Falcons who 419 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 2: finished four and twelve. Just believe, just believe, that it's 420 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 2: a little bit unlucky that they're at this point. And 421 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 2: I'll say this as well, you're gonna need every single 422 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 2: damn point, So seven and a half if it gets 423 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 2: to it, like wherever it goes, get as many points 424 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 2: as you can because it's still the Jets. Let's keep 425 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 2: rolling here. Sunday night football. You are looking at Detroit 426 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 2: and Kansas City. This one is just going to be special. 427 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 2: So I just I'm curious how you're looking at this game, 428 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 2: because I think it's the same way I would look 429 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 2: at it. Because the side scare me. 430 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: The side scaring me. I really wanted Lions here. I 431 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: looked at it hard early in the week. You get 432 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Short week, I have a letdown loss. There's 433 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: the obvious, like, well, they can't fall to two and 434 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: four and the Homes and the Chiefs. Of course, I 435 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: want to fade that. 436 00:21:58,080 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 3: To me. 437 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: The Lions set up the way that we have dreamed 438 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: about the Ravens and the Chiefs over the years. Run 439 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: the ball, smash mouth, control the clock, don't make mistakes, 440 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: and Detroit actually does it, unlike Baltimore, who does other 441 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 1: crap when they play them. The problem is, well, I'll 442 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: get to the problem with Detroit in a second. So 443 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna take the side. I'll explain why I'm 444 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: gonna do the mean thing here, and I'm gonna rain 445 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: on our Sunday Night parade, and I'll go with the 446 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: under under fifty three, and that one is rising. 447 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 3: So we'll talk about that in a second. 448 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: So Detroit, the Lions start out owing to one, they 449 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: get dominated by the Packers. I'm feeling great because I 450 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: was all team Ben Johnson's gone. The Lions are not 451 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,199 Speaker 1: gonna be good this year. They're gonna be average. And 452 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: now since then four to oh and they're cruising and 453 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: they're suddenly like the Super Bowl favor for some people. 454 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 3: But who have you beat? Detroit? 455 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: You beat the Bears, all right, well, l for me, 456 00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: you beat the Ravens, But what's that mean anymore? Even 457 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: having been this badly exposed since then? Is that really 458 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 1: as good as it looked? And then you beat Joe 459 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: Flacco's old team and Joe Flacco's a new team. Congratulations, Like, 460 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 1: I don't really know that we've learned a ton. And 461 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: what really worries me with Detroit is the injuries. Taylor 462 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: Decker left tackle. Their line is not playing as well 463 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,439 Speaker 1: as it has in previous years. We knew that they 464 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,239 Speaker 1: lost some guys. The young guys haven't been quite as 465 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 1: good as hoped. And then at corner Karon Arnold and 466 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: dj A Reid a out. Both of their two starting 467 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: corners are missing. And so I think how this game 468 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: sets up and why, like the under is, we're gonna 469 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: get again long drives. I think from both teams. I 470 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: think Detroit will move the ball and get some points. 471 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: I think the Chiefs will. Look, we know these teams 472 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: are gonna score, but could we get to halftime and 473 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 1: it's like, oh man, we only had like five possessions, 474 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,479 Speaker 1: six possessions so far where we get long running drives. 475 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: And with the Chiefs, their runs have been better in 476 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks and the short pass game 477 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: is back, and that's kind of their version of running anyway, 478 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: not really with the explosives yet from Kansas City, but 479 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: they are moving the ball. I don't mind you moving 480 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: the ball. Move the ball all you want, settle for 481 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: a field goal every now and then, and if you're 482 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: tuning up the clock, I think we can still go 483 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: under here. And really, this is a trends play all 484 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: the way for me. So here are the trends I'm 485 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: looking at since twenty seventeen, totals over fifty two that 486 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: rose more than a point fifty nine percent to the 487 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: under Jared Goff. When the totals fifty one or higher, 488 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: sixty one percent of the under, that's most profitable. Active 489 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: quarterback mahomes home unders sixty two percent, primetime unders outside 490 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: of Thursday sixty one percent since twenty nineteen. And it 491 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: looks windy here also windy unders the last four year 492 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: sixty one percent, and then just a little chef's kiss 493 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: at the end, we got ourselves a luck under here 494 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 1: as well. So it's going to be uncomfortable. We want 495 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,400 Speaker 1: this to be a fun game. We know they can 496 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: score either team on any play. 497 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 3: But under fifty three. 498 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: And I mentioned the number, this was forty eight and 499 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: a half Sunday morning. That is a huge amount of 500 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: movement from Sunday morning to the night, and it's just 501 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: been slowly building since then. I'm gonna go ahead and 502 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: bet the fifty three it could go up from here. 503 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 1: Fifty four is kind of a key number. So if 504 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: you think it gets to fifty four. 505 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 3: And a half. 506 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: You've gained value by waiting, but we're kind of in 507 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 1: no man's land now. Fifty four fifty one, those are 508 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: the numbers that really matter more in that range. Maybe 509 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,119 Speaker 1: you get a fifty three and a half. I think 510 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 1: there's more likely this goes back the other direction, and 511 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: it's already moved so much this direction that I can't 512 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 1: really imagine how much further it can get. 513 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 3: So I'm gonna take the under our rain on the parade. 514 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 3: Hopefully we get like. 515 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: A fun twenty six twenty five game down to the 516 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 1: layer and we still hit her under along the way. 517 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: So chiefs lines under fifty three. 518 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 2: One question on the line. So if you think if 519 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 2: it gets to like fifty four fifty four and a half, 520 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 2: you can add more. 521 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 1: If it gets to fifty four and half, I'll probably 522 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: add more because that's really the last key number on 523 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: the way up. I really have a hard time seeing 524 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: it get there. But yeah, as you're listening to this, 525 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: I don't mind if you want to wait and watch. 526 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: If if you wait and it gets to fifty two 527 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: and a half for fifty two, I don't believe you've 528 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: lost a whole lot there, But that should be your signal, 529 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: stop waiting and make the bet now. Don't let it 530 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: get to fifty one. So I don't mind you waiting 531 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 1: a little, but it's kind of just stuck in that 532 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: range right there where you know, again, who knows the 533 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: way things go these days? You go for two Campbell, 534 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: we know he's gonna do weird stuff in there. So 535 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: of course, in a game with this so many points 536 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: and this much offense, you'll take every point you can get. 537 00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: But based on what we know about key numbers, less 538 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: for totals, of course, but I think we're kind of 539 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: in a range where it probably shouldn't matter a ton 540 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 1: at this point. 541 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, look ahead was forty eight and a half, and 542 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,719 Speaker 2: that's obviously before the line even comes out, basically what 543 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 2: you rejected it before, before the week even starts. And 544 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 2: you mentioned this before, but worth noting. Since twenty twenty two, 545 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 2: mahomes Is made eight home starts with a total of 546 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,640 Speaker 2: fifty plus seven and one to the under under by 547 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 2: seven point eight points per game. So this one just 548 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 2: feels like they're split, you know, plastering a fifty plus 549 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 2: because of the two teams. And then they meet and 550 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 2: you find, you know, a lot of running Detroit's pace 551 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 2: should help your total as well. So I like it. 552 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 1: You get you get a lot of like both teams 553 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 1: look over at the other sideline and they're like, man, 554 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,719 Speaker 1: I want that offense getting back on the field. What 555 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 1: if we just run like a fifteen play drive right 556 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 1: now and slowly chew up the clock, and you kind 557 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: of get like both teams just saying, what if I 558 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: just hope my guy has the ball last and we'll 559 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: try to go get the score and a win. But 560 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: if we can keep their offense off the field, we're 561 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,479 Speaker 1: gonna be better off. And so I think you can 562 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: kind of say, oh my gosh, these two offenses, how 563 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 1: can I bet against them? But don't forget they know 564 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: each other also, So I think that's what I'm hoping 565 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: for here. 566 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, this feels like a Montgomery Hunt type game where 567 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 2: I might look at them just battering ram lots of clock. 568 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: So at least that's what we hope for. All Right, 569 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 2: one more under before we get to our lightning round. 570 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 2: You're looking at Arizona and Indy right now, where I 571 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 2: think there's question marks about Kyler, So does that have 572 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 2: anything to do with the bet? 573 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: It does, but actually was looking at this one before, 574 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: so give me the under forty seven and a half. 575 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 1: The Kyler injury might make this number drop a little bit, 576 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 1: so obviously grab the best number you can. So both 577 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: teams here started out surprise, two to zero teams. A 578 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: lot has happened since then. The Cardinals are oho to three, 579 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 1: but they've had all five one score games so far. 580 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: The Colts are still running it out, but they're running 581 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: up the offense against the Dolphins, the Titans, the Raiders. 582 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: The Cardinals are not those teams. The Cardinals defense has 583 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: been quite good this season. They add a lot of 584 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: talent in the off season, their top ten against the 585 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: run and the pass. Colts defense has also been a 586 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: lot improved this season. They bringing lou and a Rumo 587 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: that's been a huge swing for them. I don't know 588 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: that their top five overall like their metrics say, but 589 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: certainly they've been good their stout upfront, and really Kyler 590 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: or not. The Cardinals offense I think is the weak 591 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: link in this matchup. They have not been good this season. 592 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: The offense we thought would be good and you're hearing 593 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: us finally allowed to talk about Clayton Adams, the guy 594 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 1: that was the run coordinator in Arizona and now is 595 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: in Dallas. And if you look at it, Dallas, who 596 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: nobody had any thoughts about Javonte Williams. All their linemen 597 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: are hurt. They're the number one success rate rushing team, 598 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: and the Cardinals, who had been that for a couple 599 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: of years, are dead last. That is what's happened in 600 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: this offense. And of course their running backs are hurt 601 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: as well. It turns out they do matter a little 602 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: bit if you lose all of them. So I think 603 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: that the Cardinals, I think colts seven, seven and a half. 604 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 3: That feels rich. I'd put this closer to four or five. 605 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,959 Speaker 1: And what's weird is I think those extra couple points 606 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: that are missing there. I don't want to play Arizona. 607 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: I don't really need an Arizona in my life, but 608 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: I think they're being built into the total. And I 609 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: think that's why the total is a couple of points 610 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: too high to kind of match up with that spread. 611 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,479 Speaker 1: So I looked at this matchum and thought, Okay, what 612 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: do I do. I don't really want Arizona. I kind 613 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 1: of want to do like a Marvin Harrison junior prop right, 614 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: like he's going to Indianapolis, and he's been all the 615 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: narrative this year, but I couldn't quite find one there. 616 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: I don't mind looking you find something fun. Cardinals this season, 617 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: their games are averaging under forty points a game thirty 618 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: nine point eight. They had one game at forty nine. 619 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: The other four are below this number, and in an 620 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: Arizona game, no team has gone above twenty seven points 621 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: yet either side in any Cardinals game. Kyler road unders 622 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: have better thing sixty eight percent. So if Jonathan gannon 623 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: road unders, obviously those are pretty much the same stat 624 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: sixty seven percent, and Daniel Jones home unders seventy percent, 625 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: including obviously he's on a new team. But two and 626 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: one so far this year to the under, even with 627 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: the Colts offense to it doing so well. So you 628 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: asked the top, what about Kyler not practicing as we're recording? 629 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,479 Speaker 3: So what would that mean? Well, it would means Jacoby Brissett, 630 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 3: who's one of the better backups. 631 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: But certainly a name that's gonna make me think, huh, 632 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: that sounds like an under to me, So certainly I 633 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: don't mind Kyler. 634 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 3: Forty seven is a pretty. 635 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: Important number for totals, So I certainly want forty seven 636 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: and a half if I can get it. That was 637 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: part of the pick here to stay above. 638 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 3: The key number. I would not be betting this below 639 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 3: the forty seven. 640 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: I kind of, sort of weirdly might prefer Kyler to 641 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: be marked in if it means the line goes back 642 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: above that. If it's the weekend and you're looking to 643 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: figure out should I bet this now? So I want 644 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: that hook above the forty seven if you can, so 645 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: keep an eye out on the Kyler news. I kind 646 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: of think he's gonna end up playing, but this is 647 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 1: sort of a Cardinals fade either way, and spoiler will 648 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: not be our last Cardinals fad of the podcast. 649 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 2: I think the interesting thing about the line is this, 650 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 2: the Kyler news is out there. If he plays, I 651 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 2: don't know if the line will go back up because 652 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 2: we're just gonna assume he plays anyway, like it's not 653 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 2: an injury, where like people are assuming he's not gonna play, 654 00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 2: So I don't know if you'll see the bump when 655 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 2: he's announced active if he plays, if that makes any sense. 656 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 2: So I think getting the forty seven and a half 657 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 2: now is probably more important, So I would definitely look 658 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,160 Speaker 2: for that number you mentioned the Daniel Jones home unders 659 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 2: at twenty six, eleven and one. I think the most 660 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 2: important thing with that is two and one with Indy, 661 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 2: and in the two home unders with Indy, opponents scored 662 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 2: six and eight points. So in this scenario, you really 663 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 2: are rooting probably against Arizona's defense, I mean Arizona's offense 664 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 2: a little bit. In the bet itself, I'll give you 665 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 2: this one, and this is through bet Labs, but I 666 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 2: looked up when two Dome teams play each other, which 667 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 2: I will call Arizona and any team in that scenario 668 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 2: twenty seven and eleven to the under last two seasons, 669 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 2: which would be very contrariant to what you would think 670 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 2: even fifty five percent since twenty twenty. So in that sense, 671 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 2: I think the play is a little inflated. So I 672 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 2: get what you're coming for. But it's gonna be tight. 673 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 2: It's gonna be close, all right, Lightning round time, lightning round. 674 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 2: He's gonna be four props, and you know, because it's 675 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 2: Brandon Anderson, some escalators along with it. So let's start 676 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 2: with two Patriots. What are you doing in those games? 677 00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, Patriots at Saints. We're going on the passing game here, 678 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: and I like both of these. So first one, Drake May. 679 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 1: We just watched Sunday night the Drake Man Veiling. Give 680 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: me Drake over one and a half passing touchdowns minus 681 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: one oh five. So Patriots are one of the few 682 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: things I actually got right last week. So let's go 683 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: back to more Patriots this week. I thought May it 684 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: was awesome in that game. He actually didn't get a touchdown, 685 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,960 Speaker 1: but his main plays off script. He's creative, he's keeping 686 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: plays alive. That play first play in the final drive 687 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: when he's like getting sacked, keeps it alive, gets the 688 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: stiff arm out, stays up to throw it away, and 689 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: then instead hits Stefon Diggs for the big game and 690 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: kend of kicks off the field goal the winning field 691 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 1: goal drive. 692 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 3: That was awesome. 693 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: I'm not even matched in and played just as well 694 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 1: as Josh Allen. And that's really been the story of 695 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: the Patriots so far. That offense, the passing offense particularly 696 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: is what's surprising. And Stefan Diggs emerging as a true 697 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: wide receiver one which we will get. 698 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 3: Back to him in a second. 699 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: So I looked at Patriots here, the Saints are three 700 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,960 Speaker 1: and a half point underdogs. A lot of people are 701 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,720 Speaker 1: on the Saints this week. I feel like we're maybe 702 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: over correcting a little bit. Spencer Rally, I do think 703 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: has been fine, but the Saints defense has not been great. 704 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,879 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna stay away from a side by saying 705 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: if I if I want the Patriots, it's because I 706 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: think they're gonna pass. So let me just invest in 707 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: the passing game directly. Saints defense fourth worst in the 708 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: league by DVA and fourth worst against the pass. All 709 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: five Saints games, they've allowed at least two passing touchdowns 710 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: to the opposing quarterback. 711 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 3: So I saw that and I was like done and done. 712 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,960 Speaker 1: Over one and a half, it's gotta be like minus 713 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: one sixty, right, No, it's basically even odds here. Drake 714 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 1: May two touchdowns and three of five games this season, 715 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: so not a perfect hit right there, like Saints opponents, 716 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 1: but that's the way up from last year four of 717 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: eleven in his game, so I think touchdowns will be there. 718 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,359 Speaker 1: I'm not going to go escalator on Drake May. He's 719 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: only had a one game in his career with more 720 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 1: than two passing touchdowns, just over one and a half 721 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: and we'll escalate with our second Patriots play in a second. 722 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 2: I like it. I mean two plus touchdowns allowed, two 723 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 2: plus passing touchdowns on in eight of nine. Going back 724 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 2: to last year for New Orleans and thinking about what 725 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,120 Speaker 2: he did in Buffalo last week, and he didn't throw 726 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 2: a passing touchdown, feels like it's a bit of a 727 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 2: correction based off of what we saw. I also say 728 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 2: this about New Orleans' defense last year, middle of the pack, 729 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,120 Speaker 2: fifteenth in red zone percentage on defense fifty five percent. 730 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 2: This year seventy percent, twenty seventh. So something is awry 731 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 2: in that defense, and it's allowing more touchdowns. And I 732 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 2: think this might be minor. But no, Gibson, you've taken 733 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,839 Speaker 2: a running back away. Maybe there's a little bit more 734 00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 2: passing on the other side. So what's your other prop 735 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 2: in the game. 736 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I mentioned Stefan Diggs. Let's take the Stefan 737 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: Diggs escalator, kind of. I didn't take the escalator last 738 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,919 Speaker 1: week with him. We mentioned him in the Patriots pick. 739 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: You can't hit everything, but give me the receiving yards 740 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: over fifty seven and a half still at one book, 741 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,120 Speaker 1: a few others around sixty. I'll take that if we 742 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 1: need to, a lot of frustrated fantasy owners kind of 743 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,839 Speaker 1: wrote Digs off slow start right weeks one through three, 744 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,959 Speaker 1: Digs averages four point three catches, thirty seven yards, five targets, like, oh, 745 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: he's washed, he's cooked, he's done. This was always the 746 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 1: expectation with him towards ACL. You don't just come back 747 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: and be your old self. All the Twitter doctors and 748 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: some of whom are worth trusting out there if you 749 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 1: follow the right ones. Ten kind of predicted it'll be 750 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: like a four week ramp up as you're kind of 751 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: getting back to full speed for Digs. All right, Well, 752 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 1: what happened in Week four? Six catches one hundred and 753 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: one yards. Then last week ten catches one hundred and 754 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: forty six yards, twelve targets in that Bills game. So 755 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 1: from weeks one to three to four and five, double 756 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: the targets, double the receptions, three point three x on 757 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: the yardage. Remember in week one Kayshawn Booty six catches 758 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: for one hundred yards. That's forever ago, Like Diggs is 759 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,720 Speaker 1: the dude in this offense. And again, Saints defense against 760 00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 1: the pass has not been good, particularly against wide receiver 761 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,919 Speaker 1: one this season. Here's what they've allowed to wide receiver one. 762 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,680 Speaker 1: Five catches for seventy one, five for eighty nine, five 763 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: for ninety six, five for sixty nine. All right, so 764 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: five catches in all of them average eighty one yards 765 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: a game. No huge numbers in there, but certainly more 766 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: than fifty seven and a half by quite a bit 767 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: last year. If you count games I'm going to consider 768 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: a team with the wide receiver one. There's thirteen of 769 00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: those games. Last year the Saints allowed six point six 770 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: catches for ninety two yards a game on ten targets 771 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: to wide receiver one. So Diggs, I think, is that dude? 772 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: Fifty seven and a half five thing honestly is like 773 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: at least ten yards too low. Since the start of 774 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 1: last season, if you count games with the wide receiver one, 775 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: the Saints have allowed at least five catches and sixty 776 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 1: one yards in sixteen of seventeen of those games. Wow, 777 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: this is a great play here, and I want yards 778 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: not receptions. I think we'll get both. But Diggs had 779 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 1: a thirty plus catch each the last two games, so 780 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 1: we want the big play in there. We can hit 781 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: this even we only like three touches with one big 782 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: play and then here's the escalator on digs eighty yards 783 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,800 Speaker 1: and one hundred yards. Eighty yards is plus two twenty 784 00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: nine at DraftKings. Last two years, Saints have allowed that 785 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,680 Speaker 1: in sixty five percent of their games against wide receiver 786 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: and almost two of three and then one hundred yards. 787 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 1: None yet against the Saints, but Diggs has done that 788 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 1: two weeks in a row, and the Saints allowed for 789 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: those last year two wide receiver ones. One hundred yards 790 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: is plus four to seventy seven at DraftKings. So digs 791 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: over fifty seven and a half and an escalator all 792 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,439 Speaker 1: the way two one hundred and hopefully has another huge game. 793 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to know how important Diggs 794 00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 2: has been to the offense the last two weeks, he 795 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 2: has twelve first read slash design targets, seven more than 796 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 2: any other Patriot at that time. So at this point 797 00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,840 Speaker 2: they are looking for him. And the thing that you 798 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 2: have to love about those two big games and the 799 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 2: stat I just gave you still only running routes on 800 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,080 Speaker 2: sixty seven percent of dropbacks over the last two weeks. 801 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 2: So there's even more upside. I think as he progresses 802 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,399 Speaker 2: and gets healthier, so I like it anything else before 803 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:16,959 Speaker 2: we keep rolling. 804 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually I was like, oh, let's see, I 805 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 1: bet snap counts are going out. He's healthy, so he's 806 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: playing more. He's really not like the snaps, He's still like. 807 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:24,839 Speaker 3: Half of them. 808 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: So I agree there's more room for him to play 809 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,279 Speaker 1: even more and get even more looks going AHD. So 810 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be very good. I think 811 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: he's still a little bit underrated in fantasy. I see 812 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: him ranked to like thirtieth to fortieth rest of season 813 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 1: out there. I'd be looking for ways to get him 814 00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: in a fantasy league or to invest if you got 815 00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: a season long prop or something like that. 816 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,959 Speaker 3: I think Diggs is almost all the way back now. 817 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, you mentioned the ramp up as well. I feel 818 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 2: like I don't have stats behind this, but I feel 819 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 2: like the yak last week was also there. So he 820 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 2: is not only catching, not only getting looks, but running 821 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 2: after the catch, which is important for these props. All right, 822 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,879 Speaker 2: next bet here we're looking at Raiders and Titans. Boy, 823 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 2: this one better be fun. 824 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, because the game sures heck won't be. I honestly 825 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 1: thought early in the week I was gonna have to 826 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,080 Speaker 1: come in here with Titans plus six, and I was like, 827 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: please don't make me do this, Please don't. The Raiders 828 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: should not be six points favorites against anybody, even the Titans. Thankfully, 829 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,160 Speaker 1: the market got back ahead of me, and I'm sure 830 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,520 Speaker 1: people are betting the Titans as well for the same reason. 831 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 1: It's like three and a half, four and a half, 832 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: now forget it. But if the Raiders are favored, somebody's 833 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,319 Speaker 1: gonna have to score for them. How about Ashton gent 834 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,280 Speaker 1: So give me an ash and genty touchdown. It's minus 835 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: one forty three. The Titans defense has not been good. 836 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 1: Of course, They're not good at anything, so why would 837 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: they be good at defense? Bottom cored of the league, 838 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,399 Speaker 1: defense second the worst by dv Away run defense, top 839 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: three rushing yards allowed to running back so far and 840 00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: eight rushing touchdowns most in the NFL. Should be nine, 841 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 1: of course, if mister de Marcado could hold on on 842 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,280 Speaker 1: the ball at the goal line. But they have allowed 843 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 1: at least one running back touchdown all five Titans games. 844 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 1: They've allowed multiple running back touchdowns in three straight games 845 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: right now, so I was like, Okay, this looks like 846 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: a good spot for genty rushing yards. The line seventy 847 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 1: two and a half. I can't get there. He's under 848 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: that four to five games. That offensive line has not 849 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: been great for the Raiders. Colton Miller is out. He 850 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: is right now on pace for two hundred and eighty carries. 851 00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 1: That's a lot twelve hundred yards. That's not great for 852 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,560 Speaker 1: that mini, so I'm gonna stay away from the yards. 853 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,440 Speaker 1: He's second favorite for offense or Rookie of the Year. 854 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: I don't see that. That's not happening with how he's 855 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: playing right now. But he is finding the end zone. 856 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: Raiders out eight offensive touchdowns. He's got four of them, 857 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,239 Speaker 1: two rushing and two receiving. I don't really care how 858 00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 1: he gets in. He can do the stupid Cardinals play 859 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 1: from last week. Everyone can fumble and kick the ball 860 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,399 Speaker 1: in the end zone. Jendi can fall on the ball 861 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 1: and gave me a touchdown either way. Geny touchdown minus 862 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: one forty three and a little bit on two touchdowns 863 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: as well, Ken, I always play that if you're gonna 864 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 1: do a one touchdown, that's plus four third and again, 865 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 1: the Titans have allowed three straight games a running back 866 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,720 Speaker 1: to get two touchdowns, So I think that's a smart 867 00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:06,959 Speaker 1: escalator on that as well. 868 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 2: I was curious about the Titans rush defense, which is 869 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 2: absolutely horrible, and you mentioned the rush touchdown statistic on 870 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 2: that side of the ball. I found this one which 871 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 2: was more interesting to me. Stacked box yards per attempt 872 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,479 Speaker 2: on the ground, So basically, when the defense really tries 873 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,160 Speaker 2: to stop the run, Tennessee this year allowing six yards 874 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 2: per attempt, third worse in the NFL. When they stacked 875 00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,120 Speaker 2: the box last year three point three, fourth best in 876 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 2: the NFL. So to me, even when they're trying to 877 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,759 Speaker 2: stop him, it ain't gonna work. They're definitely going to 878 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 2: try to because moster it's not the guy. He's not 879 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 2: getting a ton of carries in this offense. To me, 880 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 2: it's Genty. He has all five carries inside the ten 881 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 2: yard line for the Raiders. This is if they're going 882 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,399 Speaker 2: to score touchdowns, which they only scored six points last week. 883 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,520 Speaker 2: So the bet is will they score a touchdown, It's 884 00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,799 Speaker 2: gonna be Ashon Genty. So I like it, all right, 885 00:42:58,920 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 2: one more prop here? 886 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 3: What do you got one more touchdown? 887 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 1: We've been talking about Tet mcmill and a rookie receiver 888 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,480 Speaker 1: for the Panthers, so let's get a tep McMillan touchdown 889 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 1: plus one fifty against the Cowboys. I thought for a 890 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,240 Speaker 1: second story week I would try to turn myself into 891 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 1: a short road favorite Cowboys team. I think they're going 892 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 1: to score, but I think the Panthers might score too. 893 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 1: This total is forty nine and a half. I think 894 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,879 Speaker 1: this could be in the running for top scoring game 895 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,440 Speaker 1: of the week, if you like to play that angle 896 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 1: out there. But I think both teams are going to 897 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 1: be scoring. Both teams will be passing at will here. 898 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,440 Speaker 1: I think we might finally get that long away to 899 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,799 Speaker 1: TEP McMillan breakout game. Cowboys defense, I don't even need 900 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 1: to give you any of the numbers. Like they cannot 901 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,960 Speaker 1: stop a nosebleed this season, it's all terrible. Passing defense 902 00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 1: is at no shot. Here are wide receiver one numbers 903 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,799 Speaker 1: against Dallas just this year, Malik Nighbors. Remember that game 904 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 1: nine FO one hundred and sixty seven two scores a 905 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: Duneesay sixty two yards in a score Romeo Dobbs six 906 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:53,759 Speaker 1: for fifty eight three touchdowns. 907 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:54,799 Speaker 3: We all watched that one. 908 00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:57,400 Speaker 1: Then Garrett Wilson last week, they didn't like to pass 909 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 1: sixty seven or seventy one yards and a score, so 910 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,760 Speaker 1: all four of those dudes had a touchdown. Neighbors scored twice, 911 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 1: Dobbs scored three times. Last year, over half of the 912 00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,520 Speaker 1: games that the Cowboys played had a wide receiver one touchdown. 913 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: This year four to five, everyone except the Eagles because 914 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: they don't believe in passing anymore. So I think this 915 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,120 Speaker 1: is a touchdown game for McMillan. I looked at the 916 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,439 Speaker 1: receptions and the yards early in the week. 917 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:24,439 Speaker 3: Those lines were better. 918 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,839 Speaker 1: I think others are also looking at McMillan, so those 919 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,359 Speaker 1: have been met up this week. I'm just gonna stick 920 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 1: with a touchdown plus one fifty four touchdown and what 921 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 1: should be a shootout. We might get like eight ten 922 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 1: touchdowns in this game if this really goes well, and 923 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,360 Speaker 1: then two touchdowns here as well, plus twelve hundred on 924 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,959 Speaker 1: the escalator, So I think you gotta take a little 925 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,719 Speaker 1: bit nibble on that one and the escalator. I said 926 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:48,680 Speaker 1: on Sunday, I wanted to find this is the spot 927 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,760 Speaker 1: I think to buy that Rookie of the Year ticket 928 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 1: thirteen to one at one book. 929 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 3: Here's the setup. Aguaca is the. 930 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 1: Clear favorite and probably gonna have another good game this weekend. 931 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,439 Speaker 1: It's maybe just him. I went there with oh Marion 932 00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 1: Hampton a couple of weeks ago, loved it, And now 933 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 1: he's spraining his ankle and he's out, so his odds 934 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: have dropped. Jackson Dart is third in odds. Come on, 935 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 1: they didn't even play the first couple of weeks. The 936 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 1: Jarans are gonna keep doing the thing all year. It's 937 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:15,719 Speaker 1: not happening. Genty is second in odds. Like if it's 938 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 1: not Eggbuca, this is still pretty open. And I think 939 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,840 Speaker 1: McMillan honestly has been as good, maybe better than Mecca. 940 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,800 Speaker 1: So I think thirteen to one, you won him before 941 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 1: the Dallas game, not afterwards, So I think it's an 942 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,960 Speaker 1: hour never And uh look, this might be like my 943 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,800 Speaker 1: sixth or seventh Rookie of the Year pick, So I 944 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,759 Speaker 1: think I probably ought to be done after this, stop 945 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,600 Speaker 1: me before I bet the market again. 946 00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 3: But I think he can be in play. And I'm 947 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:41,120 Speaker 3: reminded a. 948 00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: Couple of weeks ago we took the Puka Escalater all 949 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,800 Speaker 1: the way up and I looked at Offensive Player of 950 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:46,759 Speaker 1: the Year and I was like, man, if he has 951 00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,319 Speaker 1: a huge game, when do you be in there? And 952 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 1: I didn't do it, and I didn't say it, and 953 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,760 Speaker 1: I don't get credit for it. And the next morning 954 00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,600 Speaker 1: he was like the cold favorite, and that's where he 955 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: sits now. So this is me Maya coping for that. 956 00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,160 Speaker 1: And if I'm if I got a guy in an 957 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,040 Speaker 1: awards market and I like a big game and a breakout, 958 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 1: then I think it's the chance to buy into the 959 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 1: market as well. So plus one fifty on a touchdown, 960 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 1: twelve to one for two scores, thirteen to one for 961 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year on TET. 962 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 2: McMillan, some of the simplest correlation when you talk about 963 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,879 Speaker 2: touchdowns and points as you look at the over under 964 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 2: you talked about it forty nine and a half for 965 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 2: this one, which would be the highest total of Bryce 966 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 2: Young's NFL career so far, So kind of tells you 967 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:28,800 Speaker 2: what we're expecting. And first, just for some perspective, believe 968 00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:32,200 Speaker 2: TET right now has a third highest receiving yards prop 969 00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 2: of the week behind Pooka and JSN, which just tells 970 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 2: you what the matchup looks like a Kent's Dallas and 971 00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,760 Speaker 2: I found this one absolutely fascinating. So first three weeks 972 00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 2: of the season, TET was running around on ninety one 973 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:48,560 Speaker 2: about ninety one percent routes thirty first in the NFL 974 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 2: fourth and fifth week four and five up to ninety 975 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:56,000 Speaker 2: eight point six second in the NFL. This man is 976 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,920 Speaker 2: Bryce's number one thirty three first yard, first read targets. 977 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,719 Speaker 2: Next closest is renfro with fifteen. So this is this 978 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 2: is the guy, and he's going to force it there 979 00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,000 Speaker 2: whenever he can. So I like the bet, and the 980 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 2: yards are too high, so I don't even think you 981 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,000 Speaker 2: can go down that route, which is why I gave 982 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 2: you the perspective. Look ahead time, let's talk ahead, skim 983 00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:19,520 Speaker 2: a shot. How about next week? 984 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,759 Speaker 3: I got my mindset, Look up my mindset. 985 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:27,439 Speaker 2: What are you looking at a week seven? 986 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:29,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I told you we'd come back to the Cardinals. 987 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,200 Speaker 1: Here we are, and we certainly are not taking the Cardinals. 988 00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,400 Speaker 1: Give me the Packers MIAs four and a half in Arizona. 989 00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,319 Speaker 1: So pretty simple read here. Look at this weekend. The 990 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:42,320 Speaker 1: Packers are two touchdown favorites off the buy at home 991 00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:46,040 Speaker 1: against Joe Flacco and the Bengals. Everyone expects the Packers 992 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,920 Speaker 1: to absolutely roll this week and everyone will be like, oh, yeah, 993 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 1: of course, we forgot about the Packers, Micah Parsons, Remember 994 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 1: how they're great and Super Bowl favorite. That's what we're 995 00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 1: gonna think about the Packers this weekend. The Cardinals we 996 00:47:56,200 --> 00:48:00,440 Speaker 1: talked about. They're touchdown underdogs in Danapolis, so they're expected 997 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 1: to lose if this thing goes as expected. There's no 998 00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,239 Speaker 1: way we're opening this at four and a half on 999 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 1: Sunday night. We're gonna be at like six, maybe pushing 1000 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,560 Speaker 1: seven immediately. Remember seven is the key number, but five 1001 00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,399 Speaker 1: and six are kind of keys now as well. We're 1002 00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 1: getting four and a half here below all three of those, 1003 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 1: I make this seven. I think these are just different 1004 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 1: weight classes. And I make the seven with Kyler Murray. 1005 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,280 Speaker 3: Do we even get Kyler Murray in this game? 1006 00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:27,480 Speaker 1: Maybe he plays against Indy but Reinjurres Dankele and then 1007 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,399 Speaker 1: he's out. Maybe it's worse than we think and he's 1008 00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,120 Speaker 1: just out until then, so we might get Jacobe Brissett 1009 00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 1: here as well. We talked about the Arizona defense or sorry, 1010 00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,720 Speaker 1: Arizona offense not being good. May introduce you to Micah 1011 00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,760 Speaker 1: Parsons and the Packers' defense that has played so well this season. 1012 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,839 Speaker 1: So I just can't see a world where we are 1013 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,240 Speaker 1: getting Packers minus four and a half Sunday night, barring 1014 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:48,800 Speaker 1: some catastrophic injuries. 1015 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:50,920 Speaker 3: So we've had some bad luck. 1016 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,040 Speaker 1: On injuries on the look ahead, but I'm gonna take 1017 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: the four and a half in Green Bay and not 1018 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:55,200 Speaker 1: look back here. 1019 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 2: I just am not gonna sit here and try to 1020 00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,520 Speaker 2: argue with someone trying to take a look ahead line 1021 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 2: off of game where you're a fourteen point favorite. Feels 1022 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:04,719 Speaker 2: like it makes sense and it's the right move in 1023 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,440 Speaker 2: the right direction, because if it goes the direction everyone 1024 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,239 Speaker 2: thinks next week's line has got to be bigger. All right, 1025 00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,480 Speaker 2: thank you, Brandon, that was great. Anything else before we 1026 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 2: get out. 1027 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,920 Speaker 3: Of here, I think that's it.
