<v Speaker 2>Action Network. All of our odds provided by DraftKings. So

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to start with one of my strongest plays.

0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 2>There's a difference between struggling but competent and struggling the

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Bears plus one and a half at the Colts. I

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 2>had a general manager this week in the league told

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 2>me he looked at Anthony Richardson's film and said, Colin

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 2>is as bad as anything I've ever seen from a

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:27.080
<v Speaker 2>starting quarterback. Greg Cosell told Ross Tucker on his podcast,

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 2>and he's not prone to hyperbolic statements. He's missing high

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:37.480
<v Speaker 2>school throws badly. The Bears have been close. The Bears

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 2>have had moments. The Bears have a quarterback who is

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 2>a franchise quarterback. We don't know yet with Anthony Richardson.

0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 2>If you're struggling with Shane Steichen to the point, can't

0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>hit stuff in the flat, you know, once Keenan Allen

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 2>comes back, I think the Bears will be much better. Anyway.

0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 2>I think Bears plus one and a half is the

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 2>play here against a wobbly Colts offense.

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Sharper square, so it is the sharp side.

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 3>The line has moved in that direction right. It was

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 3>started at two, it's now down to one and a half.

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 3>So the wise guys have been coming in on the Bears.

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 3>For me, personally, it's not going to be a spot.

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Everyone I've talked to clear division on this, not because

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 3>of the Bears and not because of Anthony Richardson, but

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.360
<v Speaker 3>because of the spot for the Bears and the spot

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 3>for the Colts, Anthony Richardson at home has been better

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 3>than Anthony Richardson on the road. The Colts got smacked

0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 3>by the Packers and their run game. Everybody knew that's

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 3>what they were going to do, and everybody knows that's

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 3>what the Colts cannot stop. The Bears don't have a

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:54.600
<v Speaker 3>run game at all. And the Bears defense, meanwhile, they

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 3>are great in past coverage, they are great rush in

0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.239
<v Speaker 3>the past or top five in both according to football folks,

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 3>they are terrible against the run. And that is what

0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 3>the Colts will need to do in order to win

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 3>this game. And by the way, they are desperate for a.

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Win right now.

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 3>I do think that Shane Steikeen is a better coach

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 3>than Matty Erfus. I do think that what he can

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 3>draw up for Anthony Richardson is better than what the

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.040
<v Speaker 3>Bears can draw for Caleb Williams right now.

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 1>So it's a very tricky game. The wise guys took

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>the two.

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 3>It's down to one and a half your sharp but

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 3>it's not like there's a boatload of confidence on this

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 3>sharp play.

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 2>We talk about regression to the mean. I love Sam Darnold,

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.480
<v Speaker 2>but I do not believe he's an MVP of this league.

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 2>The Texans only have to give up two. They are

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 2>two to zero and haven't played particularly well. They're a

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.240
<v Speaker 2>young team. Young teams tend to get better. I'm gonna

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 2>take Texans minus two. The Vikings slow down a little

0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 2>at some point. No Jordan Addison, TJ. Hawkins and banged up.

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>They'll pay a price for that.

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>Sharper square, yeah, and this one you're totally square.

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Like the Wise Guy have been all over the Vikings

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 3>in this game. It's moved off of a key number.

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 3>I think they've been really impressed with what Brian Flores

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 3>has done defensively.

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>CJ.

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Stroud has not been as good on the road as

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 3>he has been at home. We even saw it in

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 3>some of the struggles that he had in Week one

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 3>with against the Colts where they needed some help covering

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 3>that game. So I think the challenge here is people

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 3>are trying to figure out is Sam Darnold for real?

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 3>And I have been saying this for about a year.

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't think Kevin O'Connell is getting enough credit as

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 3>a being a really good coach. You know, we go

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 3>back two years three years when he and Dayball were

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 3>both rookie head coaches. Day Ball gets all the credit

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 3>for being a great coach. He wins Coach of the Year.

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 3>He goes on the road to Minnesota. They beat Kirk

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 3>Cousins in the playoffs. At Minnesota, Kevin O'Connell sort of

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.760
<v Speaker 3>has looked at as well, why didn't he beat Brian Daball.

0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:02.160
<v Speaker 3>Brian dabel might be better. And then last year, Kevin O'Connell

0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 3>has these quarterbacks that he is rotating in and out

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.280
<v Speaker 3>after Kirk Cousins gets hurt and keeps this team in

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 3>contention for the playoffs. Now, all of a sudden, he's

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 3>got Sam Darnold, and this guy has looked all world

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 3>the first two games. You got to give a lot

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.479
<v Speaker 3>of credit to Kevin O'Connell here, which is another reason

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:23.160
<v Speaker 3>why the wise guys are backing the Vikings.

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I had a rant today, if you look, we always

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 2>think quarterbacks are the most valuable people in the league,

0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 2>and they are. After that, I always thought Christian McCaffrey

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>and TJ. Watt felt like they really helped their teams

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.599
<v Speaker 2>win numbers. However, this morning, presented to me about AJ

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Brown are stark. Jalen Hurts wins at a Mahomes level

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 2>with him, a Mahomes level twenty eight to eight. Without him,

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 2>He's a slightly better version than Justin Fields. AJ Brown

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 2>is out. The Saints are for real. It's a coordinator story.

0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:59.679
<v Speaker 2>Philadelphia is on a short week. I do not trust

0:05:59.760 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 2>the back end of that defense in a close game.

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 2>I just don't. I think Kirk Cousins. I mean, it

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:11.560
<v Speaker 2>was honestly looked. It looked so easy and remedial for Atlanta.

0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:14.479
<v Speaker 2>I was swallow the two and a half and take

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 2>the Saint sharper square.

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.120
<v Speaker 3>Well, not a two and a half. It's not very

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.840
<v Speaker 3>sharp at all. And we've talked about this. There's an

0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:25.799
<v Speaker 3>old axiom embedding you gotta get the best of the number.

0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 3>You are not getting even close to the best of

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 3>the number right now. In fact, you're getting the absolute

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 3>worst of the number. You could have had the Saints

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 3>at plus two and a half plus three on Sunday night.

0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 3>There's basically been a six point swing in this game.

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 3>So there's a couple factors here. Number one, you're going

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 3>to get the Saints, who are way way overhyped. So

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:59.719
<v Speaker 3>much inflation on the Saints right now, But you're also

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:04.520
<v Speaker 3>betting a team when the numbers flip. When a team

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:09.679
<v Speaker 3>goes from an underdog to a favorite, historically, the new

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 3>underdog is going to cover about a fifty five fifty

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 3>six clip, so that the percentages are better betting the

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 3>Eagles right now despite what you're seeing on the field.

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 2>So the Broncos have had a tough open on the

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 2>road for a rookie against Mike McDonald's defense and maybe

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 2>the loudest stadium in the league. And then they face

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 2>the Steelers, maybe the best defense in the league Tampa.

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Now they're getting six and a half. Tampa's beat up.

0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Vitavilla's out six and a half. I mean, for you know,

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Sean wants to win these games. These are the richest

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 2>owners in the league. It'd be great to get a

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 2>year to go three and fourteen, but he needs some ws.

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 2>This number just seems off to me. I'm gonna take

0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 2>the Broncos plus six and a half against the Buck

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Sharper square.

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 3>Nah, you're walking into its field of knives.

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:02.520
<v Speaker 1>It's so sharp.

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Colin, you better watch yourself, because, yeah, the Broncos are

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 3>the side here. And we have this thing called the

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 3>luck Rankings. I've talked about it on the show before.

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 3>It basically gives you indicators of if all things were

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 3>being equal and you took out sort of turnovers, fourth

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:25.960
<v Speaker 3>down conversions, lack of ability in the red zone. The

0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 3>Bucks are the luckiest team in the NFL. The Broncos

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 3>are one of the least lucky teams in the NFL.

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 3>And the Broncos have also faced some pretty good defenses

0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.960
<v Speaker 3>up to this point. A lot of people are gonna

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:45.080
<v Speaker 3>look bad against the Steelers defense, right the Bucks. You

0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.680
<v Speaker 3>look at that Lions game. Sure, they beat the Lions

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 3>at home. The Lions were one for seven with touchdowns

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:58.320
<v Speaker 3>in the red zone. They aggressively outgained the Bucks in

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:02.080
<v Speaker 3>yardage yards per play. Jared Goff had a terrible game,

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 3>but he was still moving the ball up and down

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.000
<v Speaker 3>the field. He just couldn't get it.

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:05.720
<v Speaker 1>In the end zone.

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.599
<v Speaker 3>So you combine the challenges that the Bucks have defensively

0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.760
<v Speaker 3>with their injuries, with some of the factors that have

0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 3>inflated this line, because the Bucks have looked good while

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 3>also looking a little bit lucky, and that's why you

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.840
<v Speaker 3>get a wise guy play on the Broncos.

0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna call for a big upset of the week.

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna take the Falcons plus three and a half

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 2>against the Chiefs. Kansas City is missing when I think

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 2>one of the most underrated players in the league is

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Isaiah Pichecko. I think he is so vital to them

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 2>as they're rebuilding this receiving corps and Travis Kelcey is aging,

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:44.320
<v Speaker 2>he can disappear. They need a vibrant running game, and

0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Isaiah Pacheco runs as hard as almost anybody in this league.

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:51.319
<v Speaker 2>I think Atlanta's for real. Atlanta's offensive line against Philadelphia

0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 2>was decisive. This Atlanta team, you know, we sometimes because

0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Kirk Cousins is you know, he's as vanilla sort of,

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, an envelope. He's just there's nothing, you know.

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.720
<v Speaker 2>He's a really proficient NFL quarterback and behind a good

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.120
<v Speaker 2>offensive line. This is the best old line he's maybe

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:15.679
<v Speaker 2>played behind. It's passing catch and I just think they'll

0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:19.560
<v Speaker 2>give him time. Without Pacheco, it's an uneven receiving core,

0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:24.439
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood brownout. They don't quite know what worthy is. He's

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:28.360
<v Speaker 2>sort of a gadget player. Travis Kelcey has been invisible

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:32.120
<v Speaker 2>for the entire year. That number screwy falcons plus three

0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.400
<v Speaker 2>and a half sharper square, totally sharp.

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.160
<v Speaker 3>The wise guys have been moving this. It was at

0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 3>four and a half, then to four, now to three

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 3>and a half. Would not be surprised if it gets

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.400
<v Speaker 3>down to three. Two sides of the coin both telling

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 3>the same story, which is fade the Chiefs. On the

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 3>one side, Patrick Mahomes as a favorite of more than

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:56.560
<v Speaker 3>three points. Historically he is under five hundred. Now, of course,

0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:00.240
<v Speaker 3>Patrick Mahomes is almost always a favorite, and often times

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.679
<v Speaker 3>a favorite of more than three points. So there is

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.640
<v Speaker 3>some you know, take that with a grin of salt,

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 3>but it is the fact number one, number two. This

0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 3>offensive line is in trouble. They have injuries, they are

0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.439
<v Speaker 3>sitting starters, They have guys who are causing too many penalties.

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.680
<v Speaker 3>Like you said, there are still some questions at the

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 3>receiver positions, which she rice great, But outside of that,

0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 3>what is your downfield threat? We haven't seen it from

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 3>one of the other than some really cool trick plays.

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Pacheco.

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 3>I think is a massive problem being out and the

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 3>homes hasn't looked that good.

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.079
<v Speaker 1>Right, you look at the Chiefs, the.

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 3>Ravens a shoe tow away from being in that game

0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 3>and tie in that game. You look at the Bengals

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 3>a fourth down pass interference against a rookie, the Chiefs

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 3>could easily be one in one or zero to two, right,

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 3>So that's number one.

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Number two.

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 3>Their rush defense, as great as Chris Jones is, their

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 3>rush defense is amongst the worst in the league. We

0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 3>know the Falcons can run the ball. We just saw

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 3>them do that against the Eagles. And even better than that,

0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.160
<v Speaker 3>they're right side of their line, especially their interior center

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 3>and right guard. They are as good at run blocking

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.800
<v Speaker 3>as anybody in football. So now we're going to get

0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 3>the possibility that Kirk Cousins could use some play action

0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 3>as he was able to do against the Eagles. If

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 3>they can set up Bijon running against a pretty bad

0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.840
<v Speaker 3>rush defense, you are correct with the wise guys.

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta plus three and a half a.

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Team, and we sometimes I sometimes am slow to acknowledge,

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 2>I get confirmation biased, I make picks and I want

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 2>to stick with them. I'm watching Arizona play. They went

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 2>to Buffalo and for big chunks of the game out

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 2>played Buffalo, and I think Buffalo is pretty good. And

0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 2>then I watched them dismantle the Rams. Rams were beat up,

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 2>But if you really look at their pieces McBride, Marvin Harrison,

0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Connor Kyler, they've been pretty good at pass blocking. Detroit's

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.000
<v Speaker 2>not playing well. You know, there's the old saying strike

0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 2>when the iron's hot. Ben Johnson's not off to a

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:14.360
<v Speaker 2>good start. I've never trusted situationally in close games. Dan Campbell.

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:16.199
<v Speaker 2>I think he's a culture builder. I don't think he's

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.640
<v Speaker 2>schematically good. He's a little like Mike McCarthy. There's things

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.560
<v Speaker 2>I like about him. Don't trust them in close games.

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Arizona's getting at home a field goal. I'm gonna take

0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Arizona Sharper square sharp ish.

0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.400
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's like the line is sort of exactly

0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 3>where it should be, so there's no huge advantage. If

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 3>the line had been at three and a half, you

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 3>take it. If the line's at two and a half,

0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:43.079
<v Speaker 3>maybe you play the Lions. The big hesitation for the

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.439
<v Speaker 3>professional betters on this is the Cardinals defense.

0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Everyone agrees with what you just said about the offense.

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 3>They think they can play with anybody, right, And we

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 3>did see a lot of this against the Bills in

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 3>week one, where they were blowing the Bills out right,

0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:01.840
<v Speaker 3>but the defense slowly but surely let the Bills back

0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 3>in the game.

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>And nobody looks at the Bills offense and.

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.679
<v Speaker 3>Says, oh, yeah, this is a powerhouse offense right now,

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 3>it's Josh Allen. The problem with the Cardinals is if

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 3>they make one mistake.

0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 1>How do they recover. We saw that with the Bills.

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.080
<v Speaker 3>That to me is a better indicator of what this

0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 3>team is than what they did this past week against

0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 3>a completely beaten up Rams team.

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 1>They made a.

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 3>Mistake, the Bills capitalized, and then the Bills ultimately really

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 3>ran away with that game. I worry that the Cardinals

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 3>don't have the defense that can recover against a mistake

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 3>that the Cardinals offense makes. And the Lions, while they

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:44.120
<v Speaker 3>are struggling, are still incredibly talented and they are in a.

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Get right situation.

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.480
<v Speaker 3>So the wise guys like the home underdog almost always,

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.120
<v Speaker 3>but it's not like they're rush into the counter.

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, there's always a game I want your opinion on

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 2>and I sort of want you to talk me into it.

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 2>So I like the Ravens against the Cowboys. You could say, well,

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 2>Dallas was humiliated losing to the Raiders at home, Baltimore

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 2>was humiliated. There are a lot of similarities with Dak

0:15:12.800 --> 0:15:17.280
<v Speaker 2>and Lamar. They both have Super Bowl winning coaches, highly compensated,

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:21.960
<v Speaker 2>high profile, they win their division multiple times. The difference

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 2>is Lamar is really good against good teams in the

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 2>AFC against playoff teams in his career, He's nineteen and

0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 2>fourteen Dak and his career against the weaker conference against

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 2>playoff teams is well below fifty percent. In fact, forty

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.479
<v Speaker 2>percent of Dak's wins in his career this is remarkable,

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 2>are against the Giants in Washington, He's twenty three and four.

0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.840
<v Speaker 2>In these big games, it's going to come down to

0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 2>two competent coaches. Both rosters have holes. I like Lamar

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.240
<v Speaker 2>in spots like this, not Dak and Mike McCarthy Sharper square.

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>This is tough one.

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Like this line has been bouncing around telling you that

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 3>there's money come in on the Ravens and then there's

0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 3>money come in on the Cowboys. I can't give you

0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 3>a consensus. There is no consensus. If I looked at

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Action Network right now and we have the split of

0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.000
<v Speaker 3>number of tickets, like the amount of bets on a

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:20.840
<v Speaker 3>game and the amount of money on a game, you

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 3>would see fifty to fifty to fifty to fifty, Like

0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:26.520
<v Speaker 3>it is completely down the middle. And that's why, that's

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:30.120
<v Speaker 3>why the game is lined at Ravens minus one. Everything

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 3>you said about Lamar's true. Also, I think against the

0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 3>NFC he is something like one, something like that, like

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:39.560
<v Speaker 3>he's he's great in this spot, There's no doubt about it.

0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 3>I think you got two teams that are suffering from

0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 3>massive identity crises right now. Defensively, the Ravens kind of

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:53.200
<v Speaker 3>don't know who they are, you know, without Mike McDaniels,

0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:58.600
<v Speaker 3>without I mean Mike McDonald without Patrick Queen. Their secondary

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:03.080
<v Speaker 3>isn't as good as it was last year. They're struggling

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.720
<v Speaker 3>with their offensive line. Their run game, even with Derrick

0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:11.520
<v Speaker 3>Henry is ish. The Cowboys backfield offensive backfield might be

0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 3>one of the worst in the league. C D Lamb

0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 3>banged up, has a bad ankle. What are the options

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:21.680
<v Speaker 3>if you don't have cde Lamb? Their defense has no depth.

0:17:22.240 --> 0:17:24.320
<v Speaker 3>Micah Parsons is talking about he felt like he was

0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 3>in amaze against the Saints, like it's a fun game

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:31.919
<v Speaker 3>to watch. Why do you have to have an opinion

0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 3>on it, you know what I mean. It's just a

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.760

<v Speaker 2>that you really have a strong opinion about. I love

0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:17.439
<v Speaker 2>this part. I feel like I'm learning something. I do

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.040
<v Speaker 2>like the Chargers. I think they have currently a better

0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:23.040
<v Speaker 2>offensive coach and a better quarterback, and I think their

0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:25.320
<v Speaker 2>offensive tackles are the best handem in the league and

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.399
<v Speaker 2>will keep TJ. Watt quiet. But I'm not sure the

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Chargers can run the ball on Pittsburgh. So I just

0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:33.359
<v Speaker 2>like the under. I think it's going to be the

0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:35.480
<v Speaker 2>lowest scoring game of the weekend. But is there a

0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 2>game I missed so.

0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Many really and tell me too much?

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:44.760
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the problem is like they're so gross, you know,

0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.920
<v Speaker 3>and it's like I almost feel bad talking about it.

0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:52.879
<v Speaker 3>The Titans, to me are fascinating. We don't know what

0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Jordan Love and his status is going to be. He

0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.480
<v Speaker 3>did practice yesterday. I don't know if that's so kind

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:05.919
<v Speaker 3>of like the decoy, because that would be a pretty

0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 3>aggressive recovery for the Packers, especially when they have an

0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.679
<v Speaker 3>important game in the division coming up the following week.

0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:16.200
<v Speaker 3>But they had the perfect game plan against the Colts.

0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:19.679
<v Speaker 3>You cannot run that same game plan against the Titans.

0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.920
<v Speaker 3>Their defense is just it's really good. Like they're good

0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:26.080
<v Speaker 3>in the defensive, backfield, they're good up front. They are

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:28.639
<v Speaker 3>really good against the run. I think they would cause

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:31.760
<v Speaker 3>problems for mlik Willis. I think when you have a

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:35.200
<v Speaker 3>team that's zero to two and has not covered the spread,

0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:39.040
<v Speaker 3>as they have not done with the next game they

0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:42.200
<v Speaker 3>are sixty percent against the spread, I think it sets

0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:45.520
<v Speaker 3>up really well for the Titans. My biggest concern is

0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:48.560
<v Speaker 3>what is Jordan Love's status? And because of that, this

0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:51.480
<v Speaker 3>line has moved. Right, It was a three. The wise

0:20:51.480 --> 0:20:53.520
<v Speaker 3>guys were betting the Titans down to two and a half.

0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:56.200
<v Speaker 3>Then it got down to two, and since Jordan Love

0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.960
<v Speaker 3>has been seen practicing, it got down to one and

0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:02.439
<v Speaker 3>a half. My fear, so I would say, if we

0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.399
<v Speaker 3>can get some certainty about Jordan Love, you want to

0:21:05.440 --> 0:21:07.399
<v Speaker 3>take the Titans if he's not going to be playing.

0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:10.639
<v Speaker 3>I do like the Titans a ton in this game.

0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.000
<v Speaker 3>I also like the Jacksonville Jaguars.

0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I looked at that game as well, so did I.

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, I mean, I just think. And that's another one.

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Tell the audience what the number is right now?

0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 3>The line has been moving. It was it five and

0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:25.639
<v Speaker 3>a half. It's down to five. Actually I think it

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 3>was at six, got down to five and a half,

0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.280
<v Speaker 3>now five. The wise guys are also betting on this game.

0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:33.920
<v Speaker 3>It's a huge pros Joe's game, right in gambling parlance,

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 3>the pros are the professional betters. The Joe's are, you know,

0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:39.040
<v Speaker 3>the guys like you and me who don't know anything right,

0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:41.720
<v Speaker 3>and so the pros are showing that they're all on

0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:45.159
<v Speaker 3>the Jaguars. The Joe's are showing that they're on the Bills.

0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:49.399
<v Speaker 3>But this is another really good spot a winless team.

0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 3>Talk about luck, talk about the factors that have led

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:58.880
<v Speaker 3>to the Jaguars being zero to two. Trevor Lawrence has

0:21:58.920 --> 0:22:03.560
<v Speaker 3>not played great, but they outgained the Browns in that game.

0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:07.040
<v Speaker 3>The Browns had a great opening series. Everyone is like, Okay,

0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:09.719
<v Speaker 3>Deshaun Watson might be better. I'm not so sure. I'm

0:22:09.720 --> 0:22:11.359
<v Speaker 3>probably going to be in the Giants this weekend. But

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:16.280
<v Speaker 3>secondary that game, the Browns go three for three on

0:22:16.359 --> 0:22:19.760
<v Speaker 3>fourth dout conversions. The Jaguars go one for four for

0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:23.200
<v Speaker 3>touchdowns in the red zone, like they are going against

0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:27.920
<v Speaker 3>the Bills team that also has terrible injuries. We talked

0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:31.680
<v Speaker 3>about the Bucks terrible injuries. Forget about Matt Milano, now

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Matt Mlano's replacement. Now, guys in the defensive backfield, we

0:22:36.040 --> 0:22:38.440
<v Speaker 3>still don't know what this team is other than Josh

0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:42.359
<v Speaker 3>Allen is a really good quarterback who can do everything.

0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:46.439
<v Speaker 3>But the Jaguars do have really good aggressive playmakers on

0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:48.160
<v Speaker 3>both edges of the defensive line.

0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:51.359
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of wise guys love for the Jaguars.

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:54.400
<v Speaker 2>All right, give me one more all right.

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:57.000
<v Speaker 3>So we talked about Minnesota, we talked about the Jacks,

0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:59.920
<v Speaker 3>we talked about Atlanta. We mentioned the Titans in the Broncos.

0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:06.520
<v Speaker 3>There's two games. They're so gross, Colin like, I hesitate

0:23:06.560 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 3>to do it. The wise guys love the Panthers. This,

0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:13.439
<v Speaker 3>Oh god, I know nobody wants to talk about it.

0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 3>This is the Corner TV game. I'm not even gonna

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:19.080
<v Speaker 3>go into why. I'm just telling you they have been

0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:22.679
<v Speaker 3>betting on the Panthers. Like the line moved from seven

0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 3>to five and a half as soon as Andy Dalton

0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:28.880
<v Speaker 3>was announced as the starter. It has now moved down

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:32.560
<v Speaker 3>to five. There's a lot of reasons to like Andy

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:36.119
<v Speaker 3>Dalton as the starter over Bryce Young, and there's a

0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:38.840
<v Speaker 3>lot of reasons to now want to play the Panthers.

0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:42.040
<v Speaker 3>Their offensive line has been playing great. The challenge for

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:44.320
<v Speaker 3>them has been Bryce Young is just so inaccurate. So

0:23:44.480 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 3>can you get better offensive production of Andy Dalton?

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:48.119
<v Speaker 1>Yes?

0:23:48.520 --> 0:23:52.080
<v Speaker 3>Are you going against a team that actually isn't playing

0:23:52.119 --> 0:23:53.720
<v Speaker 3>as well as the scores would indicate.

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 1>Yes.

0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:58.359
<v Speaker 3>Will the defense for the Panthers potentially improve if the

0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:02.000
<v Speaker 3>field position is better because they're getting better opportunities to

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.280
<v Speaker 3>move the ball down the field, they're at least close

0:24:04.600 --> 0:24:06.919
<v Speaker 3>to their own fifties, so they can punt it, you know,

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 3>and get it further into the opponent's end of the field,

0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:12.800
<v Speaker 3>because I think the opponent's starting field position for the

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:16.119
<v Speaker 3>Panthers has been at there at the thirty nine yard line.

0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Just hard to win games. It's hard to defend when

0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:22.119
<v Speaker 3>that's the case. So they're on the Panthers. I won't

0:24:22.200 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 3>I won't try to convince you. They're also on the Giants,

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:27.400
<v Speaker 3>and I guess that. Yeah.

0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Daniel Jones was actually pretty solid.

0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:31.360
<v Speaker 1>They like the Giants.

0:24:31.600 --> 0:24:34.880
<v Speaker 3>They're just not sold on to Sean Watson right at all,

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:39.320
<v Speaker 3>and the Browns still have some injury questions on the

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 3>offensive line. The Giant strength is the interior of their

0:24:43.040 --> 0:24:46.639
<v Speaker 3>defensive line, best interior defensive lineman in the NFL. So

0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:50.320
<v Speaker 3>there is some sentiment that the Giants are the right side.

0:24:50.359 --> 0:24:53.240
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I feel bad. I'm just giving you gross,

0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:57.040
<v Speaker 3>disgusting things to think about. But we're getting at that

0:24:57.080 --> 0:24:57.800
<v Speaker 3>point of the season.

0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's no way I can. I'm just staying away

0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 2>from the Packers. I stayed away during the Colts game.

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:04.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm staying away during the Will Levis, who is in

0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:07.919
<v Speaker 2>the bad Judgment Hall of Fame. I'm just I'm not

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.120
<v Speaker 2>touched in the packers until everybody's healthy, but sharper square

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 2>all odds provided by DraftKings. Good stuff, my friend.

0:25:15.440 --> 0:25:18.439
<v Speaker 3>How great was that Brian Callahan video of him just

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:21.760
<v Speaker 3>losing it and then actually just owning it well the

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:23.160
<v Speaker 3>next day in the press compel Okay.

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:27.720
<v Speaker 2>So that's my theory is that if you look at

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:31.320
<v Speaker 2>coaches with young quarterbacks, even when they're awful, they're almost

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 2>apologetic and defend their young quarterbacks. Why is Callahan shredded

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:42.800
<v Speaker 2>him twice publicly? He doesn't like him, He's trying to

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:45.800
<v Speaker 2>humble him. And this is my knock. I've told the story.

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:51.040
<v Speaker 2>I called an NFL coach who I have a relationship with,

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:54.320
<v Speaker 2>and he asked me about all the quarterbacks and I said,

0:25:54.840 --> 0:26:00.080
<v Speaker 2>Will Levis the gun show. I said, that's just bad.

0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:03.720
<v Speaker 2>And I said he showed bad judgment in college. He

0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 2>makes really bad throws. I said, he's got a little

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 2>hitch in his swing. He will not manage. Will's about

0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:16.119
<v Speaker 2>will He will not manage a game is he plays

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:20.800
<v Speaker 2>hero ball? And I said, Brady managed Mahomes manages about

0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:23.480
<v Speaker 2>eighty percent of this game is we've got a lead,

0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:25.960
<v Speaker 2>get out of here. Let's get on the plane and

0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 2>get back home. Bryant Callahan is trying to humble Will Levis,

0:26:32.119 --> 0:26:35.240
<v Speaker 2>and you do that when your quarterback isn't humble. Because

0:26:35.280 --> 0:26:37.239
<v Speaker 2>most of these pro athletes that I've dealt with, these

0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:42.560
<v Speaker 2>young quarterbacks strong dads, coached hard, They've been in a

0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:46.080
<v Speaker 2>very disciplined quarterback lifestyle since they were nine years old.

0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Most of these kids come in humble as hell. Even

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:50.920
<v Speaker 2>the talented ones. You know their dad was often like

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:52.879
<v Speaker 2>a pro athlete. They know the game. When they come

0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:54.800
<v Speaker 2>into the NFL, you're gonna get coached hard. You gotta

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:57.960
<v Speaker 2>practice hard, you gotta work hard. And so I think

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:00.159
<v Speaker 2>most coaches feel kind of lucky when they get these

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:02.520
<v Speaker 2>young quarterbacks. I mean, see j Stroud had a success,

0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Lamar Jackson had success. Lamar is an incredibly humble guy.

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:09.399
<v Speaker 2>Herbert's incredibly humble. For as big a story as Mahomes

0:27:09.480 --> 0:27:15.280
<v Speaker 2>is for a coach to rip somebody publicly, he doesn't

0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:19.240
<v Speaker 2>like him. It's personal to me. That feels very personal.

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:23.200
<v Speaker 3>That's the most obvious thing ever, that he doesn't like him.

0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Here's what's challenging. If you want to be an NFL coach,

0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:29.240
<v Speaker 3>there's only so many jobs. You can always ask yourself,

0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 3>why does Dave Canalis take the Panthers job.

0:27:32.760 --> 0:27:33.400
<v Speaker 1>You don't have.

0:27:33.359 --> 0:27:37.439
<v Speaker 3>To be an NFL coach and study every second of

0:27:37.480 --> 0:27:40.120
<v Speaker 3>the all twenty two of every play that Bryce Young

0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:42.720
<v Speaker 3>played to know that he wasn't going to be the guy.

0:27:43.200 --> 0:27:47.040
<v Speaker 3>Kudos to him for dumping them and benching him and deciding, Okay,

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 3>we got a chance. I like what I'm seeing. That's

0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:52.600
<v Speaker 3>what that says. By the way, I'm not flipping to canals,

0:27:52.600 --> 0:27:56.880
<v Speaker 3>but there's a connection here. When he benches Bryce Young

0:27:57.240 --> 0:27:59.960
<v Speaker 3>two games into the season, what he's seeing on film

0:28:00.560 --> 0:28:04.680
<v Speaker 3>is the offensive line is playing great. Receivers are getting

0:28:04.720 --> 0:28:08.480
<v Speaker 3>open when they're not so discouraged they don't run their roots.

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:12.920
<v Speaker 3>We've got a chance to be a better team if

0:28:12.920 --> 0:28:14.840
<v Speaker 3>we get this guy out and give everybody else a

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:19.720
<v Speaker 3>little bit more confidence. But between him and Callahan, you're

0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:22.639
<v Speaker 3>stuck because you have to take an NFL job if

0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:24.560
<v Speaker 3>you want to be a head coach, and you know,

0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:27.159
<v Speaker 3>if you're getting that job, you probably have a crappy

0:28:27.240 --> 0:28:30.240
<v Speaker 3>quarterback and there's nothing you can do about it. So

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:33.360
<v Speaker 3>you're in like the weirdest rock in a hard place

0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 3>because you're getting your dream job and you don't even

0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:38.320
<v Speaker 3>know if you can succeed because the guy who is

0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 3>quarterback in the team just can't get it done. Oh

0:28:42.360 --> 0:28:44.840
<v Speaker 3>you're not getting that job unless there's a quarterback. Well,

0:28:44.920 --> 0:28:45.640
<v Speaker 3>you can't get it done.

0:28:45.720 --> 0:28:48.240
<v Speaker 2>And Kanalis was a hot coach, so was Ben Johnson.

0:28:48.280 --> 0:28:50.239
<v Speaker 2>Ben Johnson said, no, I'm not going to take it.

0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 2>And Detroit has looked like a little off center. So

0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:56.640
<v Speaker 2>the old saying strike when the iron hot, strike when

0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:59.280
<v Speaker 2>the iron's hot. Ben Johnson was hot. He doesn't take

0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:00.800
<v Speaker 2>a job. You come back this year and are like

0:29:01.040 --> 0:29:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Jared Goff doesn't look as good. So I mean this seat,

0:29:04.080 --> 0:29:08.400
<v Speaker 2>it's all situational and seasonal these yeah, I mean even defenses.

0:29:08.480 --> 0:29:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Great defenses disappear the next year because defensive players get

0:29:12.280 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 2>hurt more often, and so you can have a great defense.

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:16.880
<v Speaker 2>The Jets had a great defense last year. You look

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 2>at this year like they don't tackle well, they're bad

0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:24.480
<v Speaker 2>in space like Sola's defense, and now they're injury riddle.

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:24.960
<v Speaker 1>CJ.

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Moseley the guy who's calling plays. So it's like when

0:29:27.800 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 2>you're an assistant like Canalis. You say, why would you

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 2>take that job, because if Baker Mayfield had a crappy

0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:35.840
<v Speaker 2>year this year, then you're not doing a prospect.

0:29:36.320 --> 0:29:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it's true. Yeah, it's so. It's so difficult.

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:42.200
<v Speaker 3>We're going to hand you the best job in the world,

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:45.280
<v Speaker 3>but by the way, you're also going to have to

0:29:45.360 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 3>manage the worst quarterback in the.

0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:52.600
<v Speaker 2>NFL with the most impulsive owner. Oh my god, I'm

0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:54.760
<v Speaker 2>not so sure he didn't make the call on Rice Show.

0:29:54.880 --> 0:29:55.720
<v Speaker 2>To be honest with you.

0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:01.960
<v Speaker 3>It would It would be true to form right, everything

0:30:02.040 --> 0:30:04.520
<v Speaker 3>we've heard is that Bryce Young was not the guy

0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:08.920
<v Speaker 3>they wanted to draft, but the owner made them draft him.

0:30:10.120 --> 0:30:12.600
<v Speaker 3>He has not been a guy who has had a

0:30:12.640 --> 0:30:17.360
<v Speaker 3>great reputation amongst fans and people in the media so

0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:23.200
<v Speaker 3>far during his reign. If it's funny you mentioned that,

0:30:24.120 --> 0:30:25.880
<v Speaker 3>because when I heard that he was being benched, I

0:30:25.880 --> 0:30:30.200
<v Speaker 3>thought that is a ballsy move from a brand new

0:30:30.240 --> 0:30:33.240
<v Speaker 3>coach with an owner who was known to have strong

0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:36.760
<v Speaker 3>opinions and medal. It didn't even occur to me that

0:30:36.800 --> 0:30:38.080
<v Speaker 3>he would have pulled the trigger on that.

0:30:40.560 --> 0:30:45.200
<v Speaker 2>It feels too strong, impulsive, and decisive for a young

0:30:45.280 --> 0:30:49.480
<v Speaker 2>coach known as a quarterback whisperer to bail and go

0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:52.800
<v Speaker 2>to an old past his prime, Andy Dalton. It doesn't

0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:54.760
<v Speaker 2>feel like the move you'd make. You'd make that in

0:30:54.800 --> 0:30:58.720
<v Speaker 2>week six or seven, maybe near the trade deadline, dangle

0:30:58.800 --> 0:31:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Bryce Young as a trade.

0:31:01.360 --> 0:31:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Week two, you lost to the Chargers.

0:31:04.040 --> 0:31:06.560
<v Speaker 2>They look excellent. You lost to Jim Harbaugh.

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 3>It's okay, See Colin, this is why you are a

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 3>savvy inside media player. You think the next level. I'm

0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:20.440
<v Speaker 3>just a guy sitting in my office in West Harford

0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:22.560
<v Speaker 3>trying to figure it all out, and I just thought,

0:31:22.800 --> 0:31:24.080
<v Speaker 3>good for day Canalis?

0:31:24.200 --> 0:31:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Good? Did he decide to bench this guy? I like

0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:29.360
<v Speaker 1>his courage hard.

0:31:29.960 --> 0:31:32.400
<v Speaker 2>It's easy to have courage when the owner says, bench

0:31:32.480 --> 0:31:37.440
<v Speaker 2>that guy exactly all right, my man, all right, brother,

0:31:37.440 --> 0:31:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I'll see you later the volume. Thanks so much for listening.
