Speaker 1: Ka Boom. If you thought four hours a day, minutes
Speaker 1: a week was enough, I think again. He's the last
Speaker 1: remnants of the Old Republic, a sole fashion of fairness.
Speaker 1: He treats crackheads in the ghetto cutter the same as
Speaker 1: the rich pill poppers in the penthouse, to clearinghouse of
Speaker 1: hot takes. Break free for something special. The Fifth Hour
Speaker 1: with Ben Maller starts right now in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1: Welcome into another special edition of The Fifth Hour with
Speaker 1: Ben Maller and Danny G Radio. It is Benny versus
Speaker 1: the Penny, week number six of the NFL season, as
Speaker 1: we handicap every single game. It's NFL handicapping for the
Speaker 1: regular Guy and Danny G. We are back at it again.
Speaker 1: A little bit of a twist this week in in
Speaker 1: the NFL because not everyone is playing Danny this weekend.
Speaker 1: Not everyone is playing. The NFL bye weeks kicking in
Speaker 1: this week, so there are some teams that will not
Speaker 1: be playing. But we are back at it here. The
Speaker 1: bye weeks go between Week six and Week fourteen, so
Speaker 1: for the next eight weeks we're gonna have at least
Speaker 1: a couple of teams every week that will not be
Speaker 1: playing this week. The Lions, the Texans, the Titans, and
Speaker 1: your Raiders are not playing. So those are the teams
Speaker 1: that are out this weekend. So yeah, and you know
Speaker 1: I'm the Pennies representative so far this season. It asked
Speaker 1: me when it's bye week, is yes, well, the no
Speaker 1: days off for the Penny. No days off. It's like
Speaker 1: Tony Romo and Jim Nance. They have to do every
Speaker 1: game every week for CBS. So before we get to
Speaker 1: the card today, onto the next podcast, the players. You're welcome.
Speaker 1: It's time now Penny versus the Penny. Before we get
Speaker 1: to the car today, we must look back at what
Speaker 1: we did last week. Week five, Banny versus the Penny.
Speaker 1: The Penny sixteen games on the card, the Penny went
Speaker 1: eight seven and one, so a winning week, but only
Speaker 1: by one for the Penny. So that's kind of where
Speaker 1: you expect the Penny to be every week, within a
Speaker 1: game or two, because you're just flipping a an inanomant object. Now.
Speaker 1: I went ten five and one against the spread, did
Speaker 1: very well in the early games, struggled in the late
Speaker 1: television window. I got burned. The Eagles had a two
Speaker 1: touchdown lead, failed to cover. There were a couple of
Speaker 1: other things that did not go my way in the
Speaker 1: late television windows. So but ten five and one, all
Speaker 1: of this is documented. I want you to know, Danny.
Speaker 1: We've got Robin, Vegas, David and Florida along with Roscoe
Speaker 1: the Parrot, and these guys are the ambassadors of Benny
Speaker 1: versus the Penny, along with some other people, and they're
Speaker 1: keeping track to make sure that I am not giving
Speaker 1: any kind of erroneous information, all right, So that's that's
Speaker 1: the way it is. Yeah, Well, you've never been known
Speaker 1: to cheat at anything involving radio. I don't know why
Speaker 1: they need to check your work. Well, there's no You're
Speaker 1: absolutely right on that. Uh. Eddie is the one that
Speaker 1: does the cheating. He's not on this podcast, so I
Speaker 1: don't need to worry about that. How about shut up?
Speaker 1: Overall season totals. Now, the overall season totals the Penny
Speaker 1: thirty seven, forty one and two. That's a four seventy
Speaker 1: four winning percentage. Four games under. The Penny had that
Speaker 1: dreadful Week three, Danny, where the Penny went three and thirteen,
Speaker 1: the single worst week I've ever seen since I've been
Speaker 1: doing this bit for over fifteen years longer than that.
Speaker 1: Now three and thirteen in week three, so the penny
Speaker 1: is still under five over five hundred outside of that week,
Speaker 1: but you can't make up for that week very quickly.
Speaker 1: And I I overall and forty five thirty two and three,
Speaker 1: So penny forty two and three. That's a five eight
Speaker 1: four winning percentage. Now, if you're a gambler, and chances
Speaker 1: are you are if you're listening to this, in order
Speaker 1: to win money as a sports better, there's a magic
Speaker 1: number that you have to hit. You have to win
Speaker 1: more than fifty two point four of your bets. So
Speaker 1: I am ahead of where I need to be, not
Speaker 1: by a ton, but enough. The penny is under five hundred,
Speaker 1: so you gotta have a chit chat with the penny there, Danny. Yeah,
Speaker 1: penny is underpaid as it is. All right, Well, we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens this weekend in a week number six,
Speaker 1: and we'll get started with the early games Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: three and two, Pittsburgh in four. It's on Fox. Now.
Speaker 1: The play by play lineup for foxes up in the
Speaker 1: air because of the Baseball playoffs. This game will either
Speaker 1: have Joe Davis or Brandon Gotten, who as the play
Speaker 1: by play guy along with Darryl moose Johnston. The Bucks
Speaker 1: opened a six and a half point favorite. They are
Speaker 1: favored by nine. The handle on this game a heavy
Speaker 1: lean towards the Buccaneers. The public thinks this is a
Speaker 1: free money situation here and temperatures in the low sixties
Speaker 1: that kick off at the stadium formerly known as Hines Field.
Speaker 1: Some of the numbers, some of the trends on this game.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. They're six and nine against the spread their
Speaker 1: last fifteen is a road favorite of more than seven,
Speaker 1: But the Buccaneers are five and two their last seven
Speaker 1: games against the spread on the road. With Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and the numbers on Pittsburgh, it's hard to really go
Speaker 1: by any of the trends because the Steelers have never
Speaker 1: been this bad, not under Mike Tomlin. But the Steeler
Speaker 1: as a home underdog when they had decent teams eleven
Speaker 1: five and four their last games has been a great wager. Now,
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh defense allowing four hundred sixteen yards per game,
Speaker 1: and that is thirty in total defense. But I am
Speaker 1: taking the Steelers in this game, and I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers have yet to play a complete game. They
Speaker 1: have played very well for a quarter here, a quarter there,
Speaker 1: or a half here and a half there, but they
Speaker 1: have yet to go full throttle for four quarters and
Speaker 1: just blow someone away. Now the Steelers. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: sit here an upsell the Steelers. The Steelers have been horrific,
Speaker 1: but Kenny Pikett had some promise in the game against Buffalo.
Speaker 1: So how you're talking out of You took us, it
Speaker 1: was thirty eight to three. What are you talking about? Listen,
Speaker 1: there were several drops you saw that game. There was
Speaker 1: some misplays by the white outse for Pittsburgh. That's stuff
Speaker 1: that can be corrected. And it's hard to imagine a
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin team, no matter how how bad the Steelers
Speaker 1: are getting their doors blown out in back to back games,
Speaker 1: this game has backdoor cover written all over because Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: even last week against Atlanta, we saw them play a
Speaker 1: good first half, not a good second half. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the Buccaneers to win, but not cover that
Speaker 1: nine point line. Bucks twenty three and the Steelers sixteen
Speaker 1: and early on the penny is cheating off of your paper.
Speaker 1: Going with the Steelers, alright, So agreement on that Next
Speaker 1: up Cincinnati at New Orleans in the Buyou, both teams
Speaker 1: two and three. It's on CBS with Greg Gumbel and
Speaker 1: Adam Archiletta. Gumble hates sports radio factor that in don't
Speaker 1: have any handle information on this game for some reason.
Speaker 1: But the temperature in New Orleans giving the eighties. It's
Speaker 1: a dome, so it doesn't matter. Cincinnati check this out.
Speaker 1: With Joe Burrow starting their last ten games on the road,
Speaker 1: They've gone eight and two, but they have not done
Speaker 1: well in this spot coming off a Sunday night game.
Speaker 1: The Bengals lost on a late field goal against the
Speaker 1: Ravens last week. Cincinnati just two and six against the
Speaker 1: spread their last eight after playing on Sunday night. But
Speaker 1: I am taking the Bengals in this game. Rarely does
Speaker 1: since he have back to back stinkers. They didn't have
Speaker 1: a stinket last week, but they were down most of
Speaker 1: that game that came back. The Bengals are eleven and
Speaker 1: three against the spread with Joe Burrow coming off a loss,
Speaker 1: and I am not a believer in New Orleans. They
Speaker 1: are a middling team. Jamis Winston maybe back, probably not.
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, the Gadget Guy doesn't matter who's out there.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the Bengals in a nip and tuck game.
Speaker 1: Since Sinnati they're only favorite body one. They'll win this game.
Speaker 1: Bengals twenty four and the Saints twenty two at the
Speaker 1: super Dome. The final penny is the only one who
Speaker 1: doesn't want to punch Dennis Allen in the face going
Speaker 1: with the Saints. Dennis Allen so far looking very much
Speaker 1: like the Dennis Allen that coached the Oakland Raiders back
Speaker 1: in the in the day. Yeah, talk about a punchable
Speaker 1: face and not and not the good and Dennis Allen
Speaker 1: one of the coaches responsible for the Raiders no longer
Speaker 1: being in Oakland. They were so bad for so long
Speaker 1: they couldn't generate any revenue to build a stadium, and
Speaker 1: they moved to we know where they ended up in.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Nevada, all right. Jacksonville two and three
Speaker 1: at Indianapolis to two and one. That's the next game
Speaker 1: on the card. It's on CBS with Andrew Catalan and
Speaker 1: James lofton the game match up here. The Colts opened
Speaker 1: a one point favorite. They are favored by two inside
Speaker 1: the Dome, the friendly Confines at Lucas Oil Stadium, Sonny
Speaker 1: in fifty seven degrees a kickoff, but it's indoors. Jacksonville
Speaker 1: has been a terrible team in October. They've been a
Speaker 1: terrible team the last couple of weeks three and twelve
Speaker 1: against the spread, their last fifteen one in six against
Speaker 1: the spread, their last seven with Trevor Lawrence starting on
Speaker 1: the road. They did win earlier this year in Los
Speaker 1: Angeles in the Hood in Inglewood against the Chargers, a
Speaker 1: big win early on. But Jacksonville six and one against
Speaker 1: the spread the seven matchups against Frank Reich as coach
Speaker 1: of the Colts and Indianapolis. It goes further back than that.
Speaker 1: Indianapolis is one thirteen and one against the spread their
Speaker 1: last fifteen against Jacksonville. That is a trend that has
Speaker 1: gone through multiple coaches, multiple quarterbacks, and no matter what,
Speaker 1: Indianapolis has problems even you know, forget winning they won
Speaker 1: some of those games but covering the spread. So I'm
Speaker 1: taking Jacksonville in this game. Jacksonville has had a couple
Speaker 1: of clunkers in a row. Indian doesn't really do anything
Speaker 1: that well. Matt Ryan is a fossil. He's got eleven
Speaker 1: fumbles already this season. The defense does not generate a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure in Indie and this should be a
Speaker 1: boomerang game for Trevor Lawrence. I expect him to bounce
Speaker 1: back this week and have a sparkling stat line. It
Speaker 1: should be a clean pocket and you limit the mistakes
Speaker 1: here Jacksonville. They will pull this one out as a
Speaker 1: small road underdog. Jags and the Colts twenty three the
Speaker 1: final and the penny is kicking it with the Colts
Speaker 1: alright to have bad job there. Next up, this is
Speaker 1: game I like a lot New England two and three
Speaker 1: at Cleveland two and three US on CBS with Kevin
Speaker 1: Harlan and Trent Green. They have to call the game.
Speaker 1: Opened up the Browns by three and a half. It's
Speaker 1: been bent down. Brown's favored by two and a half
Speaker 1: in this game. Temperatures getting a little cooler in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Temperatures in the low fifties at First Energy Stadium. And
Speaker 1: some numbers on this game to Patriots eleven and four
Speaker 1: against the spread of the last fifteen on the road
Speaker 1: in October and Bill Belichick. You go way back with
Speaker 1: Belichick as an underdog and he is in his last
Speaker 1: games as an underdog. He's twenty three games above five
Speaker 1: and Cleveland cannot get out of their own way. The Browns,
Speaker 1: it's very bizarre when they've been favored by seven or less.
Speaker 1: They are one eight and one against the spread, and
Speaker 1: the Browns two and eight at home on Sunday against
Speaker 1: the spread. I'm taking the Patriots in this game, and
Speaker 1: I like this match up a lot. They say that
Speaker 1: styles make fights, they also make football games. Ramandre Stevenson,
Speaker 1: that's the guy I'm putting my money on here. The
Speaker 1: Patriots were able to ground in pound. We expect New
Speaker 1: England to chew up the clock, take advantage of the
Speaker 1: real blind spot in the Browns attack their run defense.
Speaker 1: A couple of guys got hurt and they have gone
Speaker 1: up in flames. There defensively is stopping the run the
Speaker 1: last month or so. Now, Mac Jones may come back
Speaker 1: at the time we're we're doing Penny versus de Penny,
Speaker 1: But to me, it doesn't matter. I mean, and Bailey
Speaker 1: Zappy can stand there and hand off to Ramandre Stevenson
Speaker 1: as well as the next guy, and the Patriots, whether
Speaker 1: it's mac Jones or Zappy, are not gonna throw the
Speaker 1: ball all that much. They're gonna play it conservative, close
Speaker 1: to the events, the rudimentary attack, ground and pound, all
Speaker 1: that and I say a close game, but the wrong
Speaker 1: team is favorite here Patriots twenty and the Brownies seventeen
Speaker 1: the final. The penny is going with the Browns, all right,
Speaker 1: Penny's asking for more trouble here. Next up the j
Speaker 1: E t S Jets, Jets, Jets, they don't suck right
Speaker 1: now at three and two in Green Bay at three
Speaker 1: and two. It's on Fox with Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen.
Speaker 1: The Packers opened up a ten point favorite. Green Bay
Speaker 1: favored by seven and about sixty percent of the money
Speaker 1: is on the side of the Packers. Temperature at kickoff
Speaker 1: right at fifty degrees at Lambo Field, and the numbers
Speaker 1: on this with Matt la Fleur. The Packers are twenty
Speaker 1: and ten against the spread in the thirty games they
Speaker 1: played at home, last thirty games at home, and the Jets,
Speaker 1: though they've they've shown some some fighting. I'm Zach Wilson.
Speaker 1: His last seven games, the Jets are five and two
Speaker 1: and the last ten games the Jets have played against
Speaker 1: teams that have a winning record, they are seven at
Speaker 1: two and one seven two and one their last ten
Speaker 1: against teams that have a winning record against the spread.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take the Jets. Not a lot to
Speaker 1: break down on this game. Both these teams are challenged
Speaker 1: at stopping the on the Giants and Ravens. The Giants
Speaker 1: and Ravens teams that the Packers and the Jets have
Speaker 1: matched up against here having some issues. Aaron Rodgers, you
Speaker 1: can tell he's scuffling. He's awful. Little bit. The receivers
Speaker 1: aren't really working for Green Bay, and the Jets have
Speaker 1: been able to to come up with a little bit,
Speaker 1: uh not Razmataz, but they've been able to scratch and claw,
Speaker 1: and that's a good sign, especially when you're getting a touchdown.
Speaker 1: And almost always when I get a touchdown or more,
Speaker 1: i'm gonna take the underdog. Very rarely do I go
Speaker 1: the other direction. So I'm gonna take the Packers to win,
Speaker 1: but the Jets to cover. Packers twenty four and the
Speaker 1: Jets twenty the final, and the Penny agrees about the
Speaker 1: Jets covering going with New York all right, next up
Speaker 1: Baltimore three and two at the Giants just mentioned them
Speaker 1: a couple of teams that are played. The Jets and
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers played in London. The Green Bay
Speaker 1: Giants game was last week in London. Baltimore three and two,
Speaker 1: the Giants four and one on CBS with Iron Eagle
Speaker 1: and Charles Davis. They have to call. The Ravens opened
Speaker 1: a six point favorite. They're favored by five and a half.
Speaker 1: Over of the handle is on the side of the Ravens.
Speaker 1: Temperatures in the mid sixties at kickoff at MetLife Stadium,
Speaker 1: and the numbers on this one. Baltimore has been amazing
Speaker 1: on the road with Lamar Jackson. If you're a gambler,
Speaker 1: they're eighteen eight and two last twenty eight games with
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson the road. The Ravens, though, I have not
Speaker 1: done particularly well after playing on Sunday Night football. From
Speaker 1: a gambling standpoint, there's six and nine against the spread
Speaker 1: following Sunday Night Giants. Off of that four and one
Speaker 1: start against the spread also with Brian Davil and with
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones starting and his last ten starts, they're eight
Speaker 1: and two. I'm taking the Giants here. I'm going against
Speaker 1: the Ravens. The Ravens have not been able to get
Speaker 1: much separation from teams this season. They played so many
Speaker 1: close games the Giants while they are dinged up still
Speaker 1: they continue to play with a little gusto. And this
Speaker 1: is a good matchup for the Giants to get another
Speaker 1: notch in their belt and show people that they're at
Speaker 1: least a mid level team, not a terrible team, and
Speaker 1: keep this game close. That that said, I I look
Speaker 1: into my crystal ball and I see Justin Tucker doing
Speaker 1: it one more time that lethal leg and New York
Speaker 1: can to cover the spread, but to lose the game.
Speaker 1: Ravens thirty Giants seven will be your final. And the
Speaker 1: penny is also a Justin Tucker fan going with the Ravens. Alright,
Speaker 1: so the penny, But the Ravens have to win by
Speaker 1: more than a Justin Tucker field goal to win the bets.
Speaker 1: So that's the thing, all right. Next up, Minnesota, the
Speaker 1: penny said five of them? Oh wow, alright, Minnesota four
Speaker 1: and one at Miami three and two. It's on Fox,
Speaker 1: so you might want to watch Kenny Albert, Friend of
Speaker 1: the Show, and Jonathan Vilma have the call who vikings exactly?
Speaker 1: The vikings? Vilma? Come on now, can everyone knows canny happen?
Speaker 1: The Vikings opened up a one point under duck. Dolphins
Speaker 1: were originally favored in the early line, but the Vikings
Speaker 1: are a three and a half point favorite because of injuries.
Speaker 1: In this game, temperatures in the mid eighties at hard
Speaker 1: Rock Stadium in South Florida, and you look at some
Speaker 1: of the numbers here and you get a little scary.
Speaker 1: It gets a little scary for you and Minnesota. This
Speaker 1: is a game where you just expect them to go out.
Speaker 1: You know, this is an easy game. Dolphins are starting
Speaker 1: their third string quarterback in this game. What could possibly
Speaker 1: go wrong? Well, Minnesota their last twenty five games when favored,
Speaker 1: They're just eight wins in that last eight and seventeen
Speaker 1: against the spread. That is embarrassing in Minnesota, despite a
Speaker 1: four and one record overall. For our purposes the gambling world,
Speaker 1: the Vikings are one in four against the spread, and
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, going back to the previous coaching regime, eleven
Speaker 1: and four against the spread their last fifteen games at
Speaker 1: home as an underdog and just at home in general.
Speaker 1: I'm taking the Dolphins in this game. I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Dolphins here. The Dolphins defense should be able to
Speaker 1: get to Kirk Cousins. I believe they will. With the
Speaker 1: blitz Cousins when he's been blitzed two touchdowns, two interceptions,
Speaker 1: He's completed less than fifty percent of his passes, and
Speaker 1: the Minnesota secondary has had some issues when they've gone
Speaker 1: against really talented receivers. Now Miami has got a bunch
Speaker 1: of guys dinged up, but they are supposed to play
Speaker 1: at the time we're doing this Tyreek kill and whatnot.
Speaker 1: So I I just simply don't trust the Purple people Eaters,
Speaker 1: even with a third string quarterback Skyler Thompson, who didn't
Speaker 1: do that well last week. Starting this week, Teddy Bridgewater
Speaker 1: is expected to get in the game at some point.
Speaker 1: He's going to be the backup, it would appear. And
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, they got rid of the ping pong tables
Speaker 1: in their locker rooms and they will get a victory.
Speaker 1: They will be rewarded. Upset City Dolphins thirty and the
Speaker 1: Vikings twenty six. Both of these teams will have the
Speaker 1: same record by the end of play on Sunday. Penny
Speaker 1: would like some job security kissing up to our boss
Speaker 1: Scott Shapiro. Going with the Vikings. Yes, one of the
Speaker 1: big Bosses, their loves the Minnesota to Vikings. Next up
Speaker 1: San Francisco three and two at Atlanta two and three.
Speaker 1: It's on Fox with Adam Amen or Chris Myers on
Speaker 1: the call, Mark slay Rith we'll do the color commentary. Now.
Speaker 1: Adam Amine has been doing the National League Divisional Series
Speaker 1: on Fox, and so if that goes to a Game
Speaker 1: five on Sunday, then Adam and will not be available.
Speaker 1: Chris Myers will call this game exactly. The forty Niners
Speaker 1: opened up a six and a half point favorite. This
Speaker 1: line has stayed flat. That means San Francisco slash Santa
Speaker 1: Clara is still favored by six and a half. At
Speaker 1: the time we're doing this. The handle over sevent in
Speaker 1: favor of the Forts. We love to fade the public,
Speaker 1: and it seems like a good opportunity to do that
Speaker 1: at Mercedes Bend Stadium in Georgia. Now the numbers indicate
Speaker 1: that you bet on Jimmy Garoppolo, you win money. He's
Speaker 1: twenty and nine against the spread in San Francisco, last
Speaker 1: nine on the road, and the Niners eight and two
Speaker 1: their last ten playing on the road, where they've gone
Speaker 1: two thousand miles or more away from the West Coast.
Speaker 1: The Niners have the number one defense in the NFL statistically,
Speaker 1: they they've done very well defensively across the board. But
Speaker 1: check this out. The Falcons with Marcus Mariota starting this year,
Speaker 1: are five and oh against the spread. And I say
Speaker 1: that goes to six and oh. I am gonna take
Speaker 1: Atlanta in this game. The war of attrition catching up
Speaker 1: to the Niners. Emmanuel Moseley defensive back torn a c
Speaker 1: l he's out. Jimmy Ward defensive back broke his hand,
Speaker 1: he might play. Nick bose had a growing injury. Even
Speaker 1: the kicker, Robbie Gold injured his knee in the game
Speaker 1: last week. So how will the forty Niners do? All
Speaker 1: dinged up? And remember they played so far? They played
Speaker 1: four bad offensive teams the Niners, Chicago's dreadful, They actually
Speaker 1: lost that game in the Raid Carolina, the Rams are
Speaker 1: debacle on offense right now, and Denver's got their issues.
Speaker 1: So those are the four teams, four of the five
Speaker 1: that San Francisco has played. Not a great resume there
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, even with Cordarold Patterson out and Kyle Pitt's
Speaker 1: injured with a bad hammy the Falcons the only team
Speaker 1: that's five and oh against the spread, and I expect
Speaker 1: them to hang around. Their three losses have been by
Speaker 1: a total of eleven points. Even when they're mismatched, they
Speaker 1: still hang around. So I'm gonna take the forty Niners
Speaker 1: to win, but the Falcons to win the money getting
Speaker 1: six and a half forty Niners twenty four and the
Speaker 1: Falcons twenty You and the penny are both living on
Speaker 1: the edge, going with the Falcons alright, so we are
Speaker 1: in agreement on that. Next up, we get to the
Speaker 1: late television window Carolina at Los Angeles and Carolina one
Speaker 1: four the r Ams at two and three. It's on
Speaker 1: Fox with Kevin Coogler Mark Sanchez. They have the call.
Speaker 1: The Rams opened up a nine and a half point favorite.
Speaker 1: They are favorite anywhere from ten to eleven, and we've
Speaker 1: got the number of ten here, so that's not the
Speaker 1: number we're gonna use. And the handle in this game
Speaker 1: a little over sixty in favor of the l A
Speaker 1: Rams at so Fi Stadium. The Rams have the NFL's
Speaker 1: all been best total defense, but their offense right near
Speaker 1: the bottom of the end of a very un Sean
Speaker 1: McVeigh like Carolina has been terrible in just about every
Speaker 1: phase of the game. They're owing seven against the spread
Speaker 1: their last seven against teams that have a losing record,
Speaker 1: two and thirteen against the spread on non grass fields.
Speaker 1: They have that fake grass in l A. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take the Panthers anyway that the Rams have shown
Speaker 1: me no ability to blow the doors off anyone, and
Speaker 1: I know that Carolina is a hot mess. They're starting
Speaker 1: their third string quarterback p J Walker and XFL refugee,
Speaker 1: and they had a coaching change Matt Rules out. Steve
Speaker 1: Wilkes is in as the interim coach. But did you
Speaker 1: know the last twenty years, thirty two teams have fired
Speaker 1: their coach during the regular season, and those teams have
Speaker 1: gone seventeen and fifteen against the spread. They have a
Speaker 1: winning record the week after firing their a coach, So
Speaker 1: historically it's about a fifty fifty shot with a slight
Speaker 1: edge to betting on a team that fires their coach.
Speaker 1: The Panthers defense is a middle of the pack unit
Speaker 1: and this is supposed to be a circle the Wagons game,
Speaker 1: save the season type game. I just don't buy it.
Speaker 1: The Rams, even if they want to do that that
Speaker 1: Matador offensive line. Matthew Stafford is seeing goes. He's got
Speaker 1: the yips right now. He's been a barf bag. I
Speaker 1: I just don't see this game being a blowout. I
Speaker 1: I would be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong. But Stafford's
Speaker 1: good for at least a fumble and an interception, so
Speaker 1: that should give Carolina good fuel possession, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: need it. Special teams also a key part of this.
Speaker 1: The Rams can't score, and I don't see them all
Speaker 1: of a sudden having a massive game here. Rams twenty
Speaker 1: Panthers thirteen is the final, which means Carolina wins the
Speaker 1: money penny history on the show going with the Rams
Speaker 1: when you're not I know, I know, well I can't
Speaker 1: do it. I've actually watched the Rams play the penny.
Speaker 1: Has not watched the single game, Danny, the penny is
Speaker 1: talking out of its penny took us. It's not chi ching,
Speaker 1: chi ching, chi ching, make the money ring. It's it's
Speaker 1: not that at all. So al right, next up, Arizona
Speaker 1: two and three at Seattle two and three. It's on Fox,
Speaker 1: and Chris Myers will be calling this game unless he's
Speaker 1: calling the other game, And if he's calling the other game,
Speaker 1: then Noah Eagle, the voice of the l A Clippers,
Speaker 1: what is still wrong with the Clippers? And Robert Smith
Speaker 1: will have the call. How much is Noah Eagle hoping
Speaker 1: that Adam Amin has to call a Dodger Padre game
Speaker 1: on Sunday? So no Eagle gets to call an NFL
Speaker 1: game on Fox and he's like three years out of college.
Speaker 1: You think, yeah, He's like, let's go, yeah, all right.
Speaker 1: Cardinals opened a two and a half point favorite, Arizona
Speaker 1: favorite by three slight leaned to the Seahawks in this
Speaker 1: game at Looming Field. Temperatures in the seventies in Seattle, sunny,
Speaker 1: so no rain at kickoff here, and the numbers would
Speaker 1: all indicate to go with Arizona. They're nine and one
Speaker 1: on the last ten Sunday road games, eight and two
Speaker 1: against the spread, their last ten on the road overall
Speaker 1: with Cliff Kingsbury. But I'm going the other way. I'm
Speaker 1: going with the Seahawks. Now, Seattle's bad, but they're not boring.
Speaker 1: And the reason I like Seattle Geno Smith has been
Speaker 1: like a Midway carnival. He's not this good. At some
Speaker 1: point the glass slippers gonna crack. But you gotta ride
Speaker 1: the tide with Gino right now as far as it
Speaker 1: will take you. It shouldn't be a problem this week.
Speaker 1: Arizona is a middle of the pack defense, the number
Speaker 1: seventeen in the end NFL. Seattle, They've got to score
Speaker 1: early and often in this game because they can't stop
Speaker 1: a nosebleed. The Seahawks defense ranks last in the NFL.
Speaker 1: They're allowing four hundred thirty yards per game and they
Speaker 1: have been burned by very questionable quarterbacks Andy Dalton and
Speaker 1: the gadget guy in New Orleans last week, the Lions
Speaker 1: the week before. So the defense can't stop anyway, which
Speaker 1: means Kyler Murray should have a great stat line. The
Speaker 1: little guy alligator arms Murray. But we also expect that
Speaker 1: Arizona will go back and forth, and in Seattle will
Speaker 1: go back and forth, and the Seahawks will cover. So
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna ride with the wise guys. The Sharps
Speaker 1: are on the side of Seattle. That seems like the
Speaker 1: right side to me as well. Seahawks thirties seven and
Speaker 1: the Cardinals thirty four. The final and the penny says,
Speaker 1: you must really hate Alligator arms to go with Ginos
Speaker 1: Smith taking the Cardinals. Yeah, it is no good pick
Speaker 1: in this game. It's matchup for you. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: can't wait, cannot wait. I will not be watching. I
Speaker 1: will not be watching. Next up, Buffalo four and one.
Speaker 1: This is the game of the weekend, Buffalo four and
Speaker 1: one at Cansas City four and one on the City.
Speaker 1: As with Jim Nance and Tony Romo, the game open
Speaker 1: to pick him. The Bills a two and a half
Speaker 1: point road favorite. In this game, the handle slightly in
Speaker 1: favor of Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium, mostly cloudy sixties
Speaker 1: six degrees. The Buffalo Bills eight in two their last
Speaker 1: ten as they revenge a loss. But I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in this game. And I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1: This game is gonna be another one of those fund
Speaker 1: Zone games. Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes are going to
Speaker 1: put on a pyrotechnic show. You're gonna see a cornucopia
Speaker 1: of points and well, many are highlighting the fact that
Speaker 1: this is a vandi game for the Bills. Here's why
Speaker 1: I have a problem with that. In the eyes of
Speaker 1: the public, the Bills are better than Kansas City they're
Speaker 1: the one of the few teams. I was talking about
Speaker 1: this the other day. I was on in Kansas City
Speaker 1: on six ten with with my friend Bob Fiesco and
Speaker 1: Josh in the morning, and we were talking about this matchup,
Speaker 1: and I was like, it's very weird because the Bills
Speaker 1: actually lost the game to the Chiefs, but in the
Speaker 1: eyes of Joe public, the casual fan Buffalo was better
Speaker 1: in that game, and they are dismissing the loss, and
Speaker 1: they're the glamour team right now. It's not Kansas City
Speaker 1: and the eyes of the public, the Bills are the
Speaker 1: top team. And this is also the first time that
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has been a home underdog now he was
Speaker 1: in the NFL back in twenty This goes back and
Speaker 1: he will get the last laugh in this one, as
Speaker 1: my crystal Ball, the Southsayer of Southsayers, Josh Allen, a
Speaker 1: bunch of touchdowns. It also a couple of backbreaking unforced
Speaker 1: errors giving the chief short field position and Bills mafia
Speaker 1: crying in their beer as the Chiefs win it. Thirty eight,
Speaker 1: the thirty seven over the Bills, and you could see
Speaker 1: it right here on my screen. Big Ben the Penny says,
Speaker 1: go jump and smash your head on the table. Going
Speaker 1: with the Bills mafia. Alright, we disagree on that. Two
Speaker 1: more games to get to on Benny versus the Penny.
Speaker 1: Next up Sunday Night Football. Dallas four and one at
Speaker 1: Philadelphia four and one. This is the NFC game of
Speaker 1: the week. It's on and be easy with Mike Rico
Speaker 1: and Chris Collins where they have the call now. The
Speaker 1: game opened up Eagles by four and a half. Eagles
Speaker 1: are all the way up to six and a half
Speaker 1: in this game. A massive line. Cowboys getting a ton
Speaker 1: of the money, which scares me from Lincoln Financial Field.
Speaker 1: Dallas nine and one against the spread their last ten
Speaker 1: on the road, seven and all against the spread, their
Speaker 1: last seven against the NFC East and Philadelphia the Eagles.
Speaker 1: They've had a couple of different coaches, but the consistency
Speaker 1: has been they do not do well against Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: coach teams. The Eagles two and eight their last ten
Speaker 1: when matched up against a Mike McCarthy coach team in Philly,
Speaker 1: just five and ten against Dallas against the spread their
Speaker 1: last fifteen and I'm taking the Cowboys though. Despite that,
Speaker 1: the Dallas team built around, not Cooper Rush, built around
Speaker 1: the defense. It does sound like Cooper Rush is gonna start,
Speaker 1: not Dak Prescott. This game. There was some debate whether
Speaker 1: Dak would come back. Can Michael Parsons, who's got a
Speaker 1: groin injury he's expected to play, be a pest and
Speaker 1: disrupt Jalen Hurts? I say yes, And the Dallas defense
Speaker 1: has up some Gatti stats. They've got twenty sacks, They've
Speaker 1: only allowed five touchdowns in five games, and Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: has been wobbling the last couple of games. No touchdown, passes,
Speaker 1: one interception, and a quarterback rating which is below eighty.
Speaker 1: So he just really hasn't been all that impressive. He's
Speaker 1: been running the ball well, but the throwing is the
Speaker 1: most important thing. So this line seems way too high.
Speaker 1: Even though Cooper Rush is not very good. He's a
Speaker 1: middling quarterback himself. I'm gonna take the Eagles to win,
Speaker 1: but not cover Eagles and the Cowboys. How about them Cowboys?
Speaker 1: And the penny says the Eagles are gonna give Rush
Speaker 1: his first loss. So you say the Cowboys go down,
Speaker 1: the penny does, and then Doc comes back the following game. Alright,
Speaker 1: next up. Last game on the card Monday Night football
Speaker 1: Denverts two and three at the l A Chargers two
Speaker 1: and three. It's on ESPN Slash ABC with the x
Speaker 1: Fox team. Joe Back and Troy Ach met the refugees
Speaker 1: from Fox now they are at ESPN. Took the money
Speaker 1: good for them. Chargers opened up a four and app
Speaker 1: point favorite. They were favored by five sonny and seventy
Speaker 1: degrees a kickoff at so FI Stadium. Broncos have been
Speaker 1: thirteen and two against the spread last fifteen when playing
Speaker 1: on Thursday Night, but they are one in four this
Speaker 1: year against the spread. Under Nathaniel Hackett and Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: The Broncos five and eight against the spread and two
Speaker 1: and eleven straight up against the a f C West opponents.
Speaker 1: Since I'm taking the Chargers in this one, the hope
Speaker 1: here for Denver is to exploit the Charger run defense.
Speaker 1: The Bolts are allowing five point eight yards per carry
Speaker 1: that is the worst in the NFL. But I cannot
Speaker 1: have any kind of confidence in Denver. They are a
Speaker 1: poorly coach team. Nathaniel Hackett is not getting it done.
Speaker 1: There a medley of turnovers and penalties. There is little
Speaker 1: reason to trust the Broncos. They are good for a
Speaker 1: fumble here, an interception there, and Russell Wilson he's so
Speaker 1: bad the Broncos are now planting the excuse seed that
Speaker 1: he's got a shoulder injury. I trust the Chargers more
Speaker 1: than the Broncos, although I'm sure I'll get burned by
Speaker 1: some analytical bull crap by the Chargers. But the team
Speaker 1: that used to be in San Diego and probably should
Speaker 1: still be in San Diego Chargers thirty one Broncos twenty
Speaker 1: one the finals, So the Charges will cover the five
Speaker 1: point line, and the Penny finally agrees with you going
Speaker 1: with the Bolts. Okay, So then there's agreement on that.
Speaker 1: And that is all of the games were a couple
Speaker 1: of less games because of the bye week this week,
Speaker 1: So good luck. May all your bets be winning ones.
Speaker 1: Remember money management, don't go crazy, don't go gaga on
Speaker 1: all that, and we'll see how we do back where
Speaker 1: we are engaged again in week seven of the Benny
Speaker 1: Versus the Penny soap opera playing out right now on
Speaker 1: a podcast near you. And we've got a whole weekend
Speaker 1: of podcasts coming up. If you like the normal podcast Saturday.
Speaker 1: Who knows what we're gonna be app but I don't
Speaker 1: know because we haven't done it yet. But we'll have
Speaker 1: that on Saturday and in the mail bag on Sunday.
Speaker 1: So good luck, win some money, enjoy the games, and
Speaker 1: we will talk to you next time later Skater, Hey, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: you go. I like to Saint
